Chapter 1: Change
1-1
It has been four years since the Powerpuff Girls Z defeated Him...
"Ring~ ring~ ring~~ ring~~" The noisy alarm clock sound pulled me back to reality from my dream.
Downstairs, my mom was preparing breakfast and shouting loudly, "Yuzuhiko, didn't you say you were meeting your friends in Tokyo today? Remember to shovel the snow before you go!"
Suddenly, I remembered that I had arranged to catch up with those two guys in Tokyo.
The three of us were defeated by the Powerpuff Girls. We spent an entire year in a reformatory. Now, I live with the Shirakawa family in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and besides being Brick, I now go by the name Shirakawa Yuzuhiko.
I rushed downstairs, grabbed two pieces of toast, and stuffed them into my mouth. "Mom, I'll shovel the snow when I get back! I'm heading to New Chitose Airport now!"
Mom shook her head with a sigh, "Honestly... be careful, okay?"
I responded without looking back, "Got it~!"
"Haneda Airport"
"Hey! brother!"
"We're over here!" The voices came from two guys: one was a sunny-looking blonde with blue eyes, and the other had dark gray hair tied in a small ponytail, giving him a slightly feminine look. I gave each of them a friendly punch on the shoulder, "Kagami, Shigeru, long time no see!"
Almost forgot to introduce my two brothers.
The sunny guy is Midou Kagami. He was taken to Kyoto by his adoptive parents.
Due to family circumstances, he developed a passion for kendo. Last month, he seems to have passed his examination.
The more feminine-looking guy is Kusama Shigeru. He lives in Nagoya and is now a best-selling young novelist. His latest work is apparently a contender for the Naoki Prize, but after reading his piece, I can't help but wonder if the judges need to get their eyes checked.
After leaving the airport, I gave my brothers some serious instructions: "We're going to split up and find the whereabouts of those three annoying girls. The moment you get any info, contact me immediately! We've waited four whole years for this moment!"
They nodded, and we went our separate ways to search.
Little did we know that this operation would completely change our lives and the lives of the Powerpuff Girls Z.
"Ueno Park"
I lay helplessly on a park bench. Although I was supposed to be out for revenge, I had no idea where Momoko might be. All I knew was her appearance and name; I didn't even know which school she attended, and I had forgotten where that research institute was. I guess I'll wander around for now. If it comes to it, I'll use Google Maps.
Next to me, a little girl was playing with a kendma. She asked me in a childish voice, "Big brother, can you teach me how to play?"
I frowned sleepily, "Big brother doesn't have time. Play by yourself."
The little girl pouted, "You're stingy~~~!"
At that moment...
"International Science Research Institute"
Ken shouted in alarm, "Dad... no, Professor Utonium, we just got an urgent message from Mom at the International Space Station. The meteoriteite swarm that we calculated would only graze Earth—one of the fragments has deviated from its course and is hurtling towards Tokyo. It's going to crash in less than half an hour! What should we do!?"
Professor Utonium's face was grave as he replied, "Only half an hour... there's no time to send the Powerpuff Girls Z into space. We have no choice but to use... Chemical γ."
Understanding his father's intent, Ken quickly activated the machine that released the chemical substance, shooting a golden beam towards the meteorite...
I was leisurely enjoying a stolen moment of a half-day nap, thinking, "Anyway, I can't find Momoko right now. I'll Google her whereabouts later." Just as I was about to close my eyes, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the sky. A golden beam shattered a meteor into pieces, dispersing into three golden lights and one black light. To my horror, one of the golden lights and a small burning meteor fragment were heading straight for the little girl next to me!
What the heck!
I didn't know what I was doing, but I instinctively dashed forward. I used all my strength to push the little girl out of the way, letting the golden light and meteor hit me instead. Then, I lost consciousness...
At the same time, while Kagami was asking around for Miyako's whereabouts and taking a walk along the riverbank, the sky suddenly turned gloomy and it began to rain. Kagami hurriedly started running and heard a voice from afar: "998... 999... 1000!"
Curiosity made Kagami turn around and he saw a little boy behind him practicing sword swings with a toy katana. Kagami couldn't help but smile knowingly, "That kid is really passionate about kendo!"
At this moment, he noticed black thunderclouds appearing in the sky above. Suddenly, a golden light and a blue lightning bolt descended rapidly!
"Watch out!" Kagami quickly pushed the little boy away, and was hit hard by the electric shock and the golden light, losing consciousness...
Meanwhile, Shigeru was leisurely browsing a bookstore, appreciating the works of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. He secretly told himself that one day he would win the Akutagawa Prize, the highest honor in Japanese literature, or even the Nobel Prize in Literature.
After leaving the bookstore, Shigeru was about to use his phone to tell Yuzuhiko that he couldn't find Kaoru when a little girl beside him was playing with a pinwheel. Suddenly, a golden light shattered a meteorite, creating a powerful air pressure that generated a small tornado, blowing towards the girl with the pinwheel!
"Run!" Shigeru reflexively acted, pushing the girl away and using his own body as a shield. As he was struck by the golden light, he was also blown away by the tornado, and heavily crashed to the ground, losing consciousness just the same...
1-2
I am very glad that you liked it,then I will send a chapter part a day.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Kagami and Shigeru standing beside me, both wearing the sportswear we were created in at that time. Kagami asked with concern, "Yuzuhiko, are you okay?"
Still in a daze, I replied, "Huh? You two..." It was then that I noticed a katana hanging from Kagami's left side and a deep green pinwheel in Shigeru's hand.
Strangely, I felt like they had both grown taller by nearly ten centimeters, and I realized that despite being hit by that deadly golden light and meteorite, I didn't feel any pain.
It seemed like my body had gone through a growth... and somehow, I now had a kendama in my hand.
Well, now that I couldn't find the person I was looking for, I might as well figure out the changes in my body, right?
Suddenly, the sky lit up with pink, light blue, and light green beams. Without hesitation, we followed them, despite feeling embarrassed. Maybe they could provide us with some answers.
Cut to a few minutes earlier at Tokyo Kunitachi High School
(Note: The PPGZ has advanced to senior high school, while the RRB is in 2nd year of junior high).
The girl's belt started to glow, and the three of them, dressed in deep blue sailor uniforms, immediately stood up.
In unison, they raised their hands.
Momoko: "Teacher, my brain is malfunctioning~"
Miyako: "Teacher, my bones lack calcium~"
Kaoru: "Teacher, I'm running out of red blood cells~"
The physics teacher, who was teaching at the time, shook his head helplessly and gestured for them to go to the infirmary quickly, thinking to himself, "Why are there so many illnesses in these blossoming teenage girls?"
As the team captain, Momoko opened her powder compact, revealing a distressed Peach on the screen. "We have a problem, Woof~ Ken and Professor Utonium have been kidnapped by the Revenge Seven, they want to force out the truth about the meteorite incident!"
The three quickly changed into their gear on the rooftop and flew towards downtown Tokyo.
Momoko: "Those guys...!"
Miyako: "Seriously!"
Kaoru gritted her teeth: "I'm going to kick them all the way to Namek!"
As the captain, Hyper Blossom was somewhat displeased: "You really don't learn, do you?!"
Even Rolling Bubbles, who was always gentle, furrowed her brow: "What you're doing is wrong, you know!"
Not to mention the hotheaded Powered Buttercup: "Give back Ken and the Professor to us now!"
And the cunning Mojo Jojo said: "Don't get too cocky, look this thing!" With that, he took out a strange black stone, which somehow felt similar to the meteorite that hit me.
Instantly, the three deflated like balloons, completely powerless.
Blossom said, "How could this happen?!"
Bubbles whimpered, "I can't summon any power..."
Buttercup cursed, "Damn it!"
Ace explained, "This stone absorbs Chemical Z, and only a black light beam can immunize against it. You guys wait to be drained." With that, he and the other members of the The Gangreen Gang burst into laughter, "Ha-ha-ha~"
Fuzzy Lumpkins jeered, "You're finished! Nothing will stand in the way of my love with Ms. Bellum!"
We realized we had to act!
If PPGZ and Professor were taken out, who would answer our questions?!
I signaled it was time to act.
Just as girls was about to be struck down, I swung my kentama forward to block them.
Seeing us, Mojo Jojo said , "Mojo, my lovely children! Watch how Mommy defeats the Powerpuff Girls Z!"
I swung the kentama and used the Powerpuff to snatch the stone, then tossed it to Boomer, "Chop it, Boomer."
"Oh!" Boomer drew his katana and in a flash, the stone turned into shards.
The Mojo Jojo exclaimed, "Mojo, what are you doing!?"
I looked at the astonished girls on the ground, "Quit gawking and go save people. Leave these guys to us."
Powerpuff Girls Z looked at us in surprise and a touch of gratitude before saying together, "We're counting on you!" With that, they flew off to save people...
I felt a twinge of guilt: "Sorry, Mom, but for the sake of getting answers, we had to... sacrifice family ties!" Concentrating flames in my hands, I bound them with kendama and delivered a fiery punch, sending him flying.
The Mojo Jojo exclaimed, "So hot! Why?" before turning into a meteor and disappearing into the sky.
Facing Fuzzy Lumpkins rifle, Boomer gripped his sword handle, twirling the blade to deflect all the bullets. Seizing the moment of Fuzzy Lumpkins 's astonishment, he gathered a silver-blue electric current in his palm, swiftly approached, and placed his hand on Fuzzy Lumpkins 's face, chuckling, "It is for you!"
Boom! A powerful thunderbolt created the second meteor in the sky.
The Gangreen Gang, in their foolishness, charged towards us, practically offering themselves as targets.
Ace roared, "Damn brats, meet your end!" and hurled a flurry of playing cards.
Butch, brimming with confidence, said, "You guys take a break, I got this."
Without hesitation, I agreed, "It's all yours!"
Meanwhile, Boomer decided to take a nap on the spot.
Butch calmly placed all the playing cards between his fingers: "Including the joker, that's 54 cards. I'll gladly take this deck." With a smirk, she pulled out a pinwheel and spun the blades with her fingers, " Air Slash!"
Whoosh! A gust of wind and sand swept the Gangreen Gang into the sky.
In unison, the Gangreen Gang shouted, "We'll remember this, you guys!"
I impatiently replied, "We've already forgotten!"
Honestly, these guys were too weak!
I glanced towards the other side, where it seemed like Girls had succeeded in the rescue.
Great job! Finally, we could find out why we suddenly grew taller, gained weapons and special abilities, and most importantly, why we never even thought about doing anything bad or defeating them?!
What's really going on!?
