DDS 101
Welcome to another chapter of this fic, and sorry for the long wait. It took me a while to come up with a new chapter in which I'll be showcasing the new faces of the DDS students, and which sections they are stationed in. It's been a month or so, but now I have a new section to post.
I can tell that your eyebrows are raised and jaws hanging wide open. The Powerpuff Girls Z in DDS?? It's quite farfetched, but hey, they're anime characters and are stationed in tokyo, so it fits well.
Although they appeared midway in Round ZERO fic, they provided some assistance to the DDS students so I decided to bring them in, and so here they are. Thought they're appearing in certain chapters, they're part of DDS, so no worries.
And so now without further ado, here they are...Class P!

Class P
Momoko Akatsutsumi (赤堤ももこ)/ Hyper Blossom (ハイパー・ブロッサム/ Haipā Burossamu).
Momoko is the first member of the Powerpuff Girls Z squad. She transforms using the phrase "Hyper Blossom" and fights villains with a yo-yo. Like the original, she's the self-proclaimed leader of the team. She is a bit boy-crazy, and is an otaku.
She is very familiar with the maho shōjo genre, along with some typical anime/super sentai concepts and is famous for being a "hero maniac" in school, especially by Kaoru. Momoko also has a strong appetite for candies and other sweets, and spends much of her time snacking. Because of this, most of her attacks are named after food. In addition, she dislikes celery and is afraid of bugs and dentists.
Although she can be easily distracted and has been known to whine, Momoko tries her best to protect Tokyo City, lead the girls, and help her friends regardless of her situation. Often she can be very clever and crafty when needed, usually being the first come up with a plan to trick or defeat villains/monsters. She has a younger sister named Kuriko. She is represented by hearts. She dreams of being married in the future.

Miyako Gotokuji (豪徳寺みやこ)/Rolling Bubbles (ローリング・バブルス/ Rōringu Baburusu).
Miyako is the second member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. She transforms using the phrase "Rolling Bubbles" and uses a bubble wand as a weapon. In comparison to the original Bubbles, who was known for being the most childish of the girls, Miyako is quite mature, but she's the ditsiest member of the three, often appearing a bit clueless, and doesn't seem to understand her powers completely, along with a few other things.
She is the only member of the girls who, like some villains, end a few sentences with a phrase. Her phrase is desu wa. She is very friendly and polite, as she always uses honorifics at the end of names, although she too can be angered when provoked. Trendy and stylish, Miyako enjoys shopping and fashion the most.
Although she is popular with the boys at school, she already has feelings for Takkaaki (Taka-chan), a boy who saved her from bullies when she was six. She also uses curlers (3 balls on each pigtail) when going to bed. Miyako/Bubbles remains typified, however, by the original's compassion, gentleness and innocence, as well as her love of animals and her favorite doll, Octi. She lives with only her grandmother. Her parents live in Kyoto. She is represented by bubbles. She dreams of being a fashion designer or model in the future.

Kaoru Matsubara (松原かおる)/Powered Buttercup (パワード・バターカップ/ Pawādo Batākappu).
Kaoru is the third and final member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. She transforms using the phrase "Powered Buttercup" and uses a Daruma Otoshi hammer. She hates skirts and other girly things, which is the reason why she was reluctant to join the group. In fact, she even hates girls who are too girly. Designed as an homage to Ranma 1/2's tomboy Akane Tendo and like the original Buttercup, Kaoru is a tomboy and is the most easily enraged of the three.
Famous for being the most athletic girl in school, Kaoru enjoys all kinds of sports and spends a great deal of time watching sports on television. She is especially good at soccer. Much to her dismay, she is well-admired by a lot of fangirls in school. She speaks with a hard and masculine edge and rarely uses honorifics when speaking. Her greatest fear is ghosts.
Kaoru lives with her father, who is a professional masked-wrestler, mother and two brothers, one older and one younger. It is thought that she has feelings for Butch because in episode 51 when the girls kissed the Rowdyruff boys, Buttercup was the last to stop because she was told that she could stop now. She is represented by stars. She dreams of being a professional wrestler like her dad in the future.

Ken Kitazawa (北沢ケン).
A young boy genius, the 8 year-old son of Professor Utonium who is somewhat responsible for turning regular girls into the Powerpuff Girls Z and numerous other characters into villains using Chemical Z. He used it to blast a glacier in order to set the weather back to normal, but the impact resulted in the explosion of several lights, which affected all those who came in contact with it.
Despite being younger than the girls, he acts a lot more mature and the education he receives from his father is considered more advanced than what the girls learn in their school, earning his PhD at an early age. Ken, in a later episode, attended school in order to gain social skills and make friends. While he considers grade school life boring, he has made several friends, including Jou (who was originally his rival) and Kuriko (Momoko's little sister).
Ken sees the girls as older sisters and has to often put up with them, though he still cares for them deeply. Ken interchanges between calling Professor Utonium Papa and Professor. During a serious situation (such as a monster attack or investigative purposes) he will try to refer to Utonium as "Professor," but in less serious situations (like packing a lunch) he will call him "Papa." Ken often corrects himself, because he usually uses the wrong honorific (eg. "Papa, I mean, Professor").

How they came into Dan Detective School is due to the following factors:
1) Clubs of Fate fanfic
- While shopping at the Tokyo Supermall, Momoko was inside a bank trying to withdraw money along with other customers, while Miyako is at a department store looking for new, trendy clothes, and Kaoru playing at an arcade. They, along with the other shoppers, are unaware that terrorists managed to sneak inside with the help of the mall's corrupt owner, and thus are trapped inside.
Kanata Saionji was also at the mall's bank and managed to hide from the terrorists' sight by hiding near the vault, in which Momoko was also hiding. They unintentionally activated their devices to assume their costumed identities. Kanata was using the Clubs Buckle and was about to initiate his transformation when he was seen by both Momoko and the terrorists. Although held at gunpoint, he initiated his transformation and changed into Mask Rider Leangle. Momoko initially mistook Kanata's appearance believing that he was affected by either the black or white lights, but the distraction allowed her to safely change into Hyper Blossom, and helped Leangle in dealing with the terrorists. The two then lead the hostages away from the bank and find the others.
Miyako was caught and is rounded up with the rest of the terrified shoppers, thus she couldn't safely change into Rolling Bubbles, but maintained her calmness.
Kaoru managed to escape the terrorists' sight while surrounding the arcade, and safely changed into Powered Buttercup, and took out the terrorists. The F-4, who are also DDS students, arrived after picking up Leangle's signal, and discovered the mall under siege, and aided the Powerpuff girls in stopping the terrorists and saved the hostages.
Momoko's attraction to Kanata led her to know more about him and about the F-4 and DDS, thus starting a good friendship between the two.
2) Straight From The Heart fanfic
- Kanata Saionji and Momoko Akatsutsumi were embroiled in a kidnapping spree by the organization Schawz led by Reiji Takatori, who is being backed by HIM (Kare). This resulted in a rescue mission which then brought the f-4 into the conflict, but in the end all victims were saved.
taking the initiative, Momoko confessed her feelings to Kanata, but was politely turned down. Although heart-broken, she was able to accept it with Miyako's help. At this point both saw a flyer on Dan Detective School, and they decided to enroll there to meet new boys and Kaoru was dragged along, much to her chagrin.
3) Round ZERO: The Four Card Symbols fanfic
- Momoko, Kaoru and Miyako enrolled at DDS by taking the exams and passed, and Ken decided to tag along in hopes of finding new challenges. They are now assigned in a section called Class P. They provided valuable assistance to the other DDS students and are currently helping them in solving the secret of an organization called BOARD (in which is short for Board Of Archeological Research Development).
