Dragon Puffs

AN: I don't own Dragonball Z, nor do I own the Powerpuff Girls. I do, however, have a pet turtle that haphazardly inspired this story (it's hard to explain). This one's for you, Duluth (that's hard to explain, too)!

Chapter 1: Signs of Danger

Mountain Area 439! And what a beautiful day it is here! The sun is shining, the grass is growing, Goku's sneaking Gohan off on a mission... huh?!

"Are you sure something's wrong, Daddy?" said the small boy with a horrible mop top hair do.

"Yes, Gohan," his father replied, whose hair stuck up in every direction. "I can sense it. Something evil is about to attack the Earth. Something really evil."

"Well, don't you think we should get some help?"

"Uh, yeah! That might be a good idea! Let's go find Krillin!"

The two flew off while Chi Chi, the wife / mother, awoke to realize that her insane husband had just ran off with her son to do Kami knows what with him. "That Goku better watch out when he gets back!" she said to herself.

The city of Townsville! And what a beautiful day it is here! The sun is shining, the grass is growing, the Powerpuff Girls are going off on a mission... huh?!

"Are you sure something's wrong, Blossom?" asked Bubbles, the blue one with blond pigtails.

"Yes, Bubbles," her sister replied, who had long orange hair and a insanely huge bow. "The Mayor wouldn't have called us about that weird note if it wasn't bad."

"Well, it is the Mayor," Buttercup, the green one, answered.

"I know, but we need to check it out anyway!"

The three flew off while Professor Utonium, the father / creator, awoke to realize that his girls were gone to do who knows what for the city. "They better watch out while they're there," he said to himself.

Some strange plain in the middle of no where! And what a beautiful... ah, skip it. The point is is that two strange figures have been meeting, plotting in this empty field, a very Dragonball Z-esk one. The evil forces stood there, laughing maniacally, waiting for their prey. The time had come to put their ultimate plan into action, the one where they would finally defeat both of their greatest foes!

In the mean time, Goku and Gohan had found Krillin at Master Roshi's house while he was trying to vacuum the carpet around the old man who was watching one of his "shows". Eager to get out of this insane house, Krillin readily joined, saying that he, too, had felt something strange that morning. The trio flew off toward the source of the power, not realizing what was in store for them.

"Well, I'm glad you're here girls," the Mayor said. "I found this on my desk this morning and I couldn't make heads or tails of it!"

"Let me see that," Blossom said, taking a sheet of paper from his hands. "Let's see, what does it say..."

"What is it, Blossom?" Bubbles exclaimed. Buttercup glanced over at her as Blossom began to examine it closely.

"This is weird," she said. "It's written in Chinese!"

"Well, that would explain why I couldn't read it!" the Mayor replied stupidly. The girls gave him a funny look, and Blossom then continued with the note.

"That's not the only strange thing," she added once attention had turned back to her. "Whoever wrote this doesn't know Chinese very well. The writing's really shaky, but it doesn't look like someone who speaks English did this, the mistakes are different. It's almost as if someone... Japanese wrote this!"

"What would Japan want with us?" Buttercup asked.

"I don't know," Blossom replied. "Let's see...

'Dear Powderpuff Girls...'

They cringed. The girls simply hated it when people did that.

'We are waiting for you. Please come to the small, abandoned island just north of Tokyo. All will be explained there. Signed, a friend.'

"What is that supposed to mean?" Bubbles asked. "And how are we gonna get to Tokyo?"

"Dig through the center of the Earth?" the Mayor suggested. The girls, once again, looked at him strangely, then continued on.

"Should we check it out?" Buttercup asked.

"I don't know," Blossom answered. "It could be a trick, but it might be important, too!"

"But how are we supposed to get there?!" Bubbles exclaimed.

"She's got a point," Buttercup added. "It's too far to fly and we can't afford plane tickets..."

"Why don't you take my private jet?" the Mayor suggested.

"You... have a private jet?"

"Of course I do!" he replied. "I just never use it!"

"I guess that will work," Blossom said. "But who's gonna fly it?"

"Allow me!" Mayor answered. The girls stared at him nervously, then returned to the problem at hand.

"Who could fly us..." A flash of light suddenly stopped them in their tracks.

Goku, Krillin, and Gohan landed on a small island where the strange energy seemed to be coming from.

"Do any of you guys see anything?" Goku asked.

"Nope," Krillin replied. "Hey, maybe this is just a false alarm. It might be a volcano or something."

"I doubt it," Goku answered, which made Krillin start freaking out. "It's much too... what's that?!" A familiar energy signal was coming up behind them. They turned to see what was going on.

"It's Mister Piccolo!" Gohan exclaimed. Piccolo flew over to them.

"What's going on here?" he asked, ending Krillin's hopes of a normal day. "There's something weird coming from this island."

"Well," Goku replied, putting one hand behind his head, "we're actually not sure yet. We're still looking." Piccolo's face dropped in embarrassment.

"Why don't we search the island then?" he suggested.

"Hey, that's a good idea!" Goku replied as if the thought had never come to him.

"Mister Piccolo always knows what to do!" Gohan boasted.

Krillin groaned. "It's gonna be a LONG day..." he thought. They split up to look in every nook and cranny of the island, which was just north of a small village. Krillin, Piccolo, and Gohan simultaneously began wondering if the town had anything to do with this. And if not, they were worried about what would happen to it if a battle ensued, you know, they're those kind of guys. Goku wondered when breakfast was.

As the four began to lose hope of ever finding anything, a strange flash of light suddenly appeared in the center of the island. They all flew toward it to see what was going on.

They were surprised to see a large craft sitting there, a very strange looking one. The pilot of this object leapt out and looked around. Much to the others' shock, he appeared to be a young man with purple hair and a Capsule Corp jacket.

"Who are you?!" Goku exclaimed, as they all assumed their usual fighting stances.

"I'm a friend," he answered. "That's all I can tell you right now and you have to trust me." He continued searching the area. "They haven't surfaced yet, that's good. Oh no! Are they here yet?"

"What are you talking about?" Krillin asked, the rest wearing the same confused expression. "Who are 'they'?"

The boy thought about proper phrasing. "I can't go into too much detail now," he finally replied. "I was referring to two different groups of people actually. One should be showing up soon. That's who you were getting those strange signals from. I guess I'll have to get the other one. There's no way they'll make it now and if you ever want to survive this, you'll need them..."

"WHAT?!" Goku exclaimed as he and the others began freaking out. "What's going on?!"

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. You'll have to find out for yourself. Just trust me and get ready, and I'll bring them here soon." He leaped back into the machine and with another flash of light vanished.

"That was weird," Gohan said once he had found his voice. "I wonder who that guy was and what he meant..."

"We'll find out soon enough," Piccolo replied. "Those signals are getting stronger."

"You're right!" Goku exclaimed, as they turned to see a strange object appearing in the distance.
