Fusion Fall: Unlimited

Okay so heres my FanFic and the world is called Aetas because Earth is overused

Chapter 1: Where it all began

The world of Aetas, a world filled with varieties of people. A world where superheroes battling supervillains is quite common or even part of a daily basis, one where humans and talking anthropomorphic animals co-exist with each other, one where ancient and powerful magic can be utilized to their maximum potential. It's a place filled with numerous possibilities: aliens, giant robots, demons, large technological advancements, supernatural phenomenon, parallel dimensions, and much more. Finally, there's the concept of time travel itself where our story begins.

Townsville, a lively metropolitan city located on the planet's southwestern continent. The city had always been plagued with constant attacks by various villains. A genius mad scientist monkey, a spoiled wannabe rich kid, a green-skinned, snake-like gang, and giant monsters were just a few among the many examples of them. Despite this factor, the citizens were still able to live their semi-normal lives thanks to a trio of superpowered females thwarting their every plan time and time again. Progressively in recent years, the city had been growing in popularity and importance. Various organizations had founded and set up headquarters or control centers within the city. One of these organizations was Dexlabs, a company centered within the northeast district of the city commonly referred to as "Technology Square" or "Tech Square" for short.

Dexlabs had a considerable amount of influence over Townsville and the whole modern world. The company was founded by young teenager named Dexter when he was only fifteen-years-old. A genius young prodigy from the suburban town of Genius Grove located northeast of Townsville, he brought forth many technological advancements people thought were years ahead of their time. Hovercars, flying billboards, and any other kind flying or hovering technology became much more common. Almost anything that was considered modern instantly became a thing of the past.

Even though Dexter revolutionized the world with his inventions, people who were smart enough knew he was hiding something from the public. Dexter had always made public appearances at science conventions to discuss his latest developments, but other than that, not a single person ever recalled seeing the boy outside his laboratory aside from a few rare and strange occasions. A few journalists who picked up on this fact and tried questioning the boy were immediately turned away by Dexlab representatives. This only made people more suspicious.

It wasn't until later when this personal secret came into a small light. Dexter had published an ad in many media sources asking for a volunteer to test his newest invention, but not a single person was willing to do it. To them, it was peculiar that Dexter was asking for a volunteer. They had always assumed Dexter had plenty of people who were willing to participate in his experiments. Now that the boy genius was asking for one of them, it seemed like this experiment seemed too risky for even Dexlab employees. The attempt at attracting someone to participate seemed like a failure until that fateful day...

Technology Square, the center point of almost all scientific breakthroughs, was bustling with activity as usual. Various men and women wearing business suits and lab coats were strolling building to building holding briefcases and portfolios in their hands, not speaking a word as they passed each other. The color of their attire usually signified which company they worked for. Blue and white symbolized Dexlabs, red and black symbolized Mandark Industries, and any other color symbolized a third party or a neutral standing. Mandark Industries was Dexlabs' rival competitor. It was founded by another genius prodigy named Mandark, Dexter's long time enemy who only founded the industries to rival his. Mandark Industries didn't share the same standing as Dexlabs, but it was still just as popular. Technology Square was basically divided in half due to the rivalry between the two companies, Dexlabs to the west and Mandark Industries to the east.

Within the center of this district was a small park which was a popular attraction for the public. A teenage boy was walking around holding a small city map in his hand struggling to find his way around. He had lived in the city for years, but almost never ventured into this district of Townsville. The boy wore a white shirt with a red unzipped sports jacket over it, blue pants, and black sneakers with white stripes. A snow white cap covered his short, thick black hair. On the cap was a large "D" drawn with black paint. The same symbol was also on the boy's shirt but larger. He continued wandering around trying to make head or tails of where he was.

"Need some assistance?" a voice suddenly asked him.

The boy looked up to see a random passing by man. Dressed in a dark green suit and holding a briefcase, he looked like he was on a way to a business meeting. The man's serious expression and dark sunglasses intimidated the boy somewhat.

"Um, yeah... I'm trying to find Dexlabs."

"Dexlabs, huh?" the man asked suspiciously. "I hardly see any people your age having business in a facility like that... In any case, it's this way, down this path."

The man pointed in the westward direction towards a stone pathway.

"Thanks for the help."

The boy headed down the direction he was told. The man watched as he disappeared into the distance. Fixing his sunglasses, he turned and walked off in the opposite direction where a white-colored airship awaited him.

The boy came to the park's exit and found himself standing on one side of a busy street. Directly across, he could see the Dexlabs building brightly illuminated with flashing lights. Standing a dozen stories high, it was one of the most uniquely designed buildings in the district. It was dark blue and white in color, but with shades of green here and there. A small waterfall and fountain court were located to the right of the entrance as well as nice garden scenery scattered around the building. A small distance to the left of the roof's center stood a small control tower-like structure with various kinds of satellite dishes. A skybridge lead off into another section of a building that seemed to contain an elevator back down to the main section.

Finished staring in wonder, the boy calmly walked toward the entrance. The archway had a large darkened window in the center. The boy couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching him from it. He thought he could vaguely see a figure of a female standing there but shrugged it off as part of his imagination. Now standing at the front doors, the boy pushed the glowing green buzzer and waited a few minutes for a reply... Nothing. Getting impatient, he pushed it again twice to make sure the person got the message.

"...Guess he doesn't want to see me."

Giving up, he finally decided to leave.

"Wait!" a voice exclaimed behind the boy as he approached the street.

Another male around his age stood at the now opening doorway, clearly out of breath. Dressed in a white lab coat, he gave a warm smile to the boy. He was shorter in height, but it didn't seem to bother him. Along with the lab coat and his red hair, he wore black pants and shoes. A purple pair of gloves complimented his same color belt wrapped around his waist. He also wore a pair of glasses with rectangular turquoise lens.

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." he said. "I was working on an important experiment and couldn't safely halt the procedure for a little bit. I didn't expect anyone coming today." He motioned the boy to follow him. "My name's Dexter, boy genius."

"Yeah, yeah," the boy said as he followed Dexter inside the building, "everyone knows who you are. You're the guy who 'revolutionized the world' with your inventions to help us like that bus thing that runs through my neighborhood."

"My Slider System to be precise!" he said with confidence. "It allows safe transportation from the Suburbs to here in Downtown and vice versa. We're currently thinking about expanding the system to the wilderness area, but there are many problems with that."

"Like?"

"Well, doing so will get us into property conflicts with Camp Kidney. That Lumpus character didn't seem to mind. I actually heard him mutter possibly using it to get away from his duties. But his assistant, Slinkman, was willing to put up a heated argument. Though if that moose agreed, I would have to send more of my Dexbots to maintain the structure since who knows what kind of damage those wild animals could do."

"Yeah... Anyway, you wanted a test subject, right?"

"Oh, yes. Would please follo- W-Wait! What!" he suddenly exclaimed, slightly falling back in surprise. Dexter paused for a brief moment to straighten himself. "Sorry for that. I didn't expect that kind of question after not a single person showed up for it."

"Well, I guess these people are afraid to take risks..."

"I see... Well, if you're actually willing to participate in this, then follow me. Oh, and your name, please?"

"Kyle."

Dexter led Kyle down a number of hallways and corridors until they came to a sealed door. Various locks and fields had been implemented as well as some defense laserguns mounted on the walls. Obviously, Dexter didn't want any unauthorized person getting inside. Next to the door, Dexter removed one of his gloves and placed his bare hand on the fingerprint scanner.

"FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION CONFIRMED. WELCOME, DEXTER."

The doors immediately opened and the two entered inside. Many small blue robots about two-thirds the size of Dexter were swerving around the room on mechanized wheels performing various tasks. Some were welding or fixing machinery while others were cleaning up messes and leaks. Kyle's attention was immediately directed towards the machine in the center. The robots, or "Dexbots" as Dexter called them, seemed to be putting the final touches to it. It was almost three times the size of a normal car. A circular tube was placed at the center with two large machines that looked like generators or processors hooked onto each side. Dexter motioned Kyle to follow him to the machine.

"So what exactly is this thing?" Kyle asked.

"Why, this is my latest invention . . . the 'Time Machine'!" he proudly exclaimed. "As you probably know, it should allow an individual to travel across the time stream and allow you to explore any time period you desire, maybe even groups of people once I finish my research! I just needed someone to test this experiment as inanimate objects won't give the most accurate results obviously. None of my usual testers of employees wanted to do it because they feared the consequences of something going wrong with this. What about you? Are you going to drop out now? There's no need to go through with it if you're scared."

Kyle body hesitated a little, but he was quick to make a decision.

"I'll do it."

"Very well. Please step inside that tube over there. The latch will be locked once it closes as a final warning."

Kyle slowly walked up and stepped inside as Dexter had instructed. Just like Dexter had said, the latch locked with a loud clank. Knowing there was no way back, he leaned against the wall contemplating his thoughts. A small part of him urged Kyle to back out, but he stubbornly ignored it.

"Alright now," Dexter began, "Kyle Ventosus, right?"

Kyle suddenly opened his eyes, surprised that Dexter knew his last name.

"Yeah..." Dexter awkwardly admitted. "The mayor kinda gave me access to records on everyone in Townsville."

"Figures, knowing that man..." Kyle quietly said to himself. "How is he still even Mayor?"

"Well then, let's get started! I've set the destination to one day in the future. Once the operation starts, you're probably going to feel a little gust in there. I still don't know if the machine will send you to where you stand now so take this device."

Dexter pressed a button on his rectangular control console. Inside the tube, a panel opened up where a mechanical claw came out, carrying what looked like a high-tech wristwatch. It was a little bigger than normal ones, but Kyle still attached it to his wrist, automatically latching on with a tight grip.

"I guess you can consider it another experiment." Dexter said. "That's my latest prototype device. I call it the 'Nanocom'. It's my next development in wireless communication. Right now, it only functions as a communicator, but I am working on more features. The specific one you're wearing now is special as it's the only one I plan on making it that kind of model. Consider that as a gift for helping with my Time Machine experiment. Also, I've set all my computers to constantly search the globe so I can be aware of your location you the moment you appear again. You got all that?"

Kyle simply gave a nod.

"Excellent. Here we go..."

Dexter, obviously excited, pressed the button. The time machine was beginning to activate. In a clockwise direction, the twelve lights encircling the pod began to light one by one until they were all glowing brightly. Kyle had to shield his eyes to block some of the light. Should've worn sunglasses... Even with his limited vision, he could still see Dexter with a grin on his face, fascinated with what was happening.

The time machine slowly began to create loud noises and vibrate slightly. Meanwhile in the background, a girl was sneaking around, tiptoeing as to not make the slightest sound while Dexter's attention was directed towards the experiment. She was blonde and tall in stature. She was at a distance, but Kyle guessed she was a little taller than Dexter himself. She wore a pink ballerina outfit, complete with accessories. It wasn't until she got a little closer, Kyle recognized her as the figure he saw in the window. The girl wandered around with a happy and mischievous smile. She noticed Kyle watching her so she put her finger to her lips, telling him to keep silent as she continued approaching, unnoticed by Dexter and the Dexbots. Kyle, slightly worried about why she was here, tried telling Dexter, but noticed the scientist had severed communication through the built-in microphones. Kyle watched as she approached the side of the time machine; Dexter was still too fascinated by his data readings to notice her dance by. Kyle could see a glimmer of curiosity in the girl's eyes as she stared at the many buttons. Getting more worried, he started banging the pod's glass window to warn Dexter, but the boy genius still didn't notice.

"Oooo~! What does this button do?" the girl wondered loudly.

"What the!" Dexter exclaimed as he finally snapped back to reality. He noticed the girl reaching towards a button on the time machine. He immediately dashed after her, almost by instinct. "Dee Dee! What are you doing here! Get out of my laboratory!"

Dexter tried to stop her, but it too late. "Dee Dee" had already pressed the button by the time he tackled her to the ground. In seconds the time machine began to go haywire. The many lights started flashing, one or two of them shattering, and the machine started shaking, violently knocking Kyle off his feet. The force of smashing his head on the metal surface knocked Kyle unconscious and left him at the mercy of the machine. Dexter and his Dexbots were struggling to hold Dee Dee down as she was happily giggling. Remembering about Kyle, Dexter quickly abandoned his hold on Dee Dee and rushed back to the control panel and activated the communication speakers again.

"Kyle! Hurry! I'm overriding the lock mechanism now! There's no telling what's going to happen now! Get out of there!" Dexter looked up to see Kyle out cold. He immediately began typing commands as fast as he could. "Just perfect! Computer! Abort process now! I'll just have to open the doors manually-What! 'SYSTEM OVERLOAD'!"

Steam erupted as dozens of sparks flew out of the machinery. Screws and bolts loosened themselves and flew off in different directions. The internal structure of the machine was falling apart. Before Dexter could rush towards the machine's latch, a bright light radiated from the inside of the tube. It engulfed Kyle and in a flash, he was gone. All that was left behind was the utterly destroyed remains of the time machine.

Dexter slammed his fist on the control console, clenching his teeth in anger. He didn't even care that he destroyed a piece of machinery he worked so hard to build. He quickly turned around to face Dee Dee who was still being held down by the Dexbots. She was no longer laughing, but shuddering with fear. She had never seen Dexter this infuriated before. It was like she was staring at a completely different person.

"Dee Dee!" Dexter exclaimed as he began walking towards her. His voice loud enough to be heard from outside the room. "You stupid idiot! Do you realize what the hell you've just done!"

"D-Dexter," she slowly muttered, "I-I'm sorr-"

Dexter walked away before she could finish apologizing. He went back to the control console and continued typing on whatever buttons and commands he could still work with.

"Dexbots," he said surprisingly in a completely calm tone, "please escort my sister outside. Computer, calculate the date the test subject was sent."

"Calculating..." a digital female voice stated. "Calculations finished. The test subject was sent approximately one year into the future..."

Chapter 2: Tech Square

"Are you sure you want to go? It's too dangerous. There's no telling what could happen!"

"Whatever, I have nothing else to lose..."

"Don't say that! It's not like that incident was your fault! I'm sure he wouldn't want this!"

Thoughts and memories were racing inside Kyle's mind. He was subconsciously reminiscing his time just before he decided to go to Dexlabs. The feeling of the dream-like state felt so nice and relaxing that he thought it could last forever, but Kyle finally grabbed a hold of reality when the sound of explosions rang in his ears.

"What?...Ugh, where am I? What was that noise?"

Kyle slowly opened his eyes and saw he was lying on the ground. He scanned the area in front of him. He recognized the surrounding area as Townsville, but everything was different. Buildings were left in complete ruin, covered with large gaping holes and shattered or missing windows. Some were even sunk into the ground. Kyle looked up to see the once blue sky had transformed into a ominous green color. Partially hidden behind the clouds, Kyle could see a gigantic planet in place of where the Moon should be. Even its structure was strange. It more like a cluster of planets fused together, the center or original being the large dark green one in the center. It looked like it was made of a sticky substance as it was how the other planets were fused to it.

"What the heck is happening?...Or...what did happen?"

As he turned around to further analyze the area, Kyle almost fell back in shock of what he saw. He realized he had just awoken near a cliffside. Everything beyond of the horizon of it was completely gone, vanished into thin air. Kyle approached the cliff's edge carefully and gazed down on his knees. There was not a hint of anything that once stood there. All that was left was a vast green-colored ocean.

"Oh man, this can't be happening!"

Another explosion rang in his ear. Kyle looked back to see dozens of airships battling winged creatures in the sky. The ships were slowly driving the creatures in Kyle's direction. Kyle couldn't make them out from the distance, but the flying creatures seemed to resemble dinosaurs or dragons. Knowing this could be dangerous if one of the creatures spotted him, Kyle scanned for a safe haven. He was greatly relieved to see the Dexlabs building nearby. What looked like fissure had caused the building's grounds to be elevated to what was now a plateau. Kyle noticed a series of makeshift ramps had been constructed to lead up to it. It was his only chance. Dexter might be there to help him. As he started for the ramps, Kyle felt something buzz on his wrist and remembered about the Nanocom. He took cover under the shade of a nearby tree to answer it.

"Hello?" Kyle asked,

"Bzzt-Kyle, come in." a voice said. "Bzzt-Kyle, come in. Are you reading me?"

It sounded like a woman, but how she sounded was off, like a computer-automated voice.

"Um, yeah. It's me." Kyle replied as he sat down. "I know it looks like a bad time to ask this, but what exactly is happening here?"

"My name is Computress, Dexter's personal computer. Although I never spoke, I was overseeing the time travel experiment with Dexter. As for right now, I'm sure you remember Dexter's sister, Dee Dee, correct? Because of what she caused, the time machine sent you farther into the future than Dexter had intended, about one year. I can give you a more detailed explanation at Dexlabs. It's not safe where you are right now. Please make haste to the Dexlabs building and take shelter. The nearby ramps will take you here."

"What have I gotten myself into?"

Kyle sat a little while longer to take all of this in. Looking to his right, he came across a green glowing pod attached to the tree. What looked like plant roots were burrowed into the tree and surrounding ground. Like a net, the roots also covered the green surface of the pod with "holes" where it could ooze out. The pod began to glow on and off like a light bulb as he approached it. It was hypnotizing. Completely forgetting about his predicament, he slowly approached so he could touch it. As he reached for the surface, the pod suddenly shot green slime at Kyle's arms. Awakening from his trance in shock, Kyle dropped to the ground in pain trying to get it off; the substance was burning his skin. The green pod began to glow brighter and released more globs of slime, but the form was different from before. They were shaped like spheres with a little point on top. Kyle saw bright red eyes and mouths forming. Soon, the slime took up lives of their own and slowly and began to hop towards Kyle with their twisted and sinister grins. Kyle was still on the ground as they approached. He managed wipe the slime that was burning his arms, but he was still in too much pain to get up. The creatures leapt at him.

Kyle tried to shield himself from the creatures, but he it would be hopeless. As he closed his eyes awaiting his impending doom, a gun fired. Kyle opened his eyes to see his attackers become simple puddles of slime before his eyes. He turned to see two people standing before him. One was a black-skinned female wearing a blue jumpsuit-like outfit with white outlines. She wore a red cap which covered her black hair that she braided into a ponytail. Clutched in her hands were two pistols. The one on the right was a teenage male with brown hair. Kyle could tell he was older than him. He wore a green jacket with the number "10" on it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of black and white sneakers. One thing noticeable Kyle caught sight of was the strange device on his wrist. It was glowing strangely, just like the pod from before.

"Holy Camole!" the girl exclaimed. "Where the heck did you come from? Everyone in the area should've been evacuated by now! Hurry up and follow us!"

"Wait!" Kyle exclaimed as he grabbed her arm. "Just what the heck is going on here?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" the boy asked him. "You mean you really don't know what's going on?"

"Yes! I was just helping Dexter with a time travel experiment and now-"

"Wait," the girl interrupted, "Dexter's time travel experiment? The only people who know about that are-...You're Kyle, right? You're that kid from the past he was talking about. Well, you're in a world of trouble now. My name's Abigail, 'Abby' for short, but call me Numbuh 5 and this here's Ben. Ben Tennyson."

Kyle felt idiotic that he didn't recognize Ben Tennyson on the spot. His name is practically a common occurrence news. A teen hero from the city of Bellwood, he had the ability to transform into many kinds of aliens thanks to the device on his wrist, the Ultimatrix. Kyle never thought he would ever meet him personally since he assumed Ben would always be busy fighting aliens in his hometown.

"I see you got yourself a Nanocom." Ben observed.

"Hm? You mean this?"

"Yup. Though the one you're holding is different from ours. Dex told us he gave you a watch model. Kinda reminds me of the Omnitrix..."

"Okay, we've talked long enough." Numbuh 5 said. "We need to get you to Dexlabs before something else shows-" A loud roar in the distance interrupted her. It sounded like a ferocious wild animal. "Aw man..."

The repeated roars began to grow louder in succession. They were also accompanied by numerous snarling sounds. Whatever was making the noises was quickly approaching the group's location. The three stood back to back and scouted their surroundings for a sign of where the noises were coming from. Towards his left, Kyle noticed something and directed Numbuh 5's and Ben's attention to a submerged skyscraper. Standing atop the building was a large mechanical Cerberus-esque dog. It leaped from the building and landed perfectly on the ground in front of them. The landing combined with the creature's weight was enough to shake the earth below them. Dashing to its sides were pack of the same creatures, albeit much smaller than the original creature.

"Tch, it's a Cyberus." Numbuh 5 remarked in an annoyed tone.

"And it brought along some friends..." Ben added.

"Kyle, I'm sorry to be suddenly telling this from you, but you're gonna have to fight with us. Here. Take this weapon."

Numbuh 5 handed Kyle a weapon which emerged from the PDA-like Nanocom in her pocket. It was a long-range rifle powered by a strange stone which turned a bright green color when Kyle touched the weapon. Kyle hadn't done so much as held a gun before besides videogame personas. He was a little worried if he could get it to work properly.

"We'll back up Ben while he attacks it."

"Let's take 'em down!" Ben exclaimed. He slammed his Ultamatrix and was engulfed in a bright green light. Kyle couldn't see what was taking place inside since he was shielding his eyes. But one once the light faded, Kyle saw Ben had transformed into a gigantic brown dinosaur-like creature. "Humongosaur!" he exclaimed.

Ben began to grow larger in size, obtaining even more dinosaur-like features such as plates on his back, a crest on his forehead, and spikes on his tails. Once he was ready, he charged at the Cyberus leader, knocking it to the ground upon impact. Numbuh 5 was rapidly firing her pistols in every direction, each shot hitting its mark with precision. She was trying to make an escape route among the Cyberus' confusion. Kyle was still struggling due to how fast he got involved in a battle and figuring out an unfamiliar weapon right away. Unfortunately, Numbuh 5 had to show him while holding off the nearby Cyberus at the same time. As the fight raged on, the Cyberus leader swiped his claw at Ben, scratching his chest, and managed to get knock him back. Ben was now pinned to the ground. Kyle was quick to notice his predicament and carefully aimed at the leader. Closing his eyes, he fired.

It was direct hit. The shot had pierced the Cyberus' armor and through the monster's radioactive core. The creature's entire body began to radiate a bright green light. It was on the verge of exploding, but still willing to fight to its last breath, intending to take at least one from the group with it. Ben, now free of the grip, grabbed the Cyberus' hind legs and with all his might tossed the creature off the nearby cliff directly into the green ocean. The Cyberus exploded a few seconds after it was submerged, creating a large pillar of rising water. Ben quickly rushed over to cover Kyle and Numbuh 5 from the raining droplets with his large scaly body. The water seemed to sting him upon touch his skin, but he didn't look too bothered by it.

"You guys, okay?" Ben asked as he transformed back to his human self.

"We're fine." Numbuh 5 replied. "Thanks, Ben. Okay, now that big problem is out of the way, we need to get out of here. Ben, clear the way for us. Kyle, just make sure you stay behind us. Don't fall behind. Got it."

Kyle nodded. Numbuh 5 gave the signal as Ben activated his Ultamatrix again. Once again enveloped in a green light, Ben soon emerged transformed into a humanoid alien made out of crystal, shouting out the name, "Diamondhead". The arms and facial area were light green while the rest of the body was dark purple. Ben placed his hands on the ground. Within seconds the ground began shaking as oversized walls of light green crystal erupted from the ground, knocking the remaining Cyberus into the air as well as creating an open path.

"Move, now!" Numbuh 5 commanded.

The Cyberus were even more aggressive and persistent after witnessing their leader being destroyed. They desperately attempted the climb over the crystal walls but usually ended up slipping and sliding back down. Those that did manage to climb up were immediately shot back down by Numbuh 5 or Ben. The group managed to reach the first ramp with ease and started to climb. It was large and steep; one misstep would send someone rolling back to a gruesome fate. Ben covered the rear as he raised a crystal wall to prevent some of the Cyberus from following them. Numbuh 5 pulled out a communicator from her pocket and contacted someone as they headed for the next level.

"Numbuh 2!" she exclaimed into the microphone. "Come in! Numbuh 2!"

"Numbuh 2 responding." a male voice answered. "What is it Abby?"

"Are you anywhere near me and Ben? We need you take care of these monsters tailing us!"

"Roger that. I'm on my way."

The group quickly made their way up the next ramp. Numbuh 5 motioned the two to make a break for it across the bridge up ahead which connected two large land masses. Once they were across, she turned to see the Cyberus pack still approaching them full speed. In a few moments what looked like a green rocket or missile-like aircraft zoomed past the three and dropped explosive charges made of oversized glue bottles, destroying the bridge and preventing the pack from getting to them. The more energetic ones attempt jumping the gap, but the distance was just too big and they ended up plummeting into the water below. Relieved that the pursuers were "gone", Kyle looked up to see the ship circling them, getting ready to land. Deploying its landing gear, the ship slowly came to the ground. The cockpit doors opened and another teenage boy stepped out. He was overwieght, dressed in a blue shirt and brown overalls. He wore an aviator hat with goggles attached to it; the number "2" was printed on the forehead in black.

"Haha! That sure was a sticky situation you guys got into. Haha! Hm? Who's this?"

"Now's not the time for lame jokes, Numbuh 2." Numbuh 5 said. "We're in the middle of a battle here. What's the current situation?"

"Numbuh 1 just sent orders to help out Jack. There's an extremely powerful energy reading heading towards him. It may be too much to handle for him"

"Right. Ben and I will head there now."

Reverting back to his human form, Ben followed Numbuh 5 as she headed off. Kyle turned to Numbuh 2 who was observing him more closely. There were a lot of questions racing through Kyle's head that he wanted to ask him, but he decided to let the boy go first.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Numbuh 2, 2x4 Technology Officer of Sector V of the Kids Next Door."

"Kyle."

"Alrighty then. Numbuh 5 relayed a message that you needed to speak with Dexter, right? Well, there's a problem. She and Ben were probably not told yet, but Dexter's gone missing. The Powerpuff Girls are still searching the battlefield for him, but they're still not enough with all these Tech Wings flying around. The best we can do is-"

"Numbuh 2!" a voice yelled in the distance.

A girl with black hair dressed in a green and black jacket and skirt suddenly came into view and landed in front of the two. She wore he black hair down and the vibe she gave off definitely told someone that he wouldn't want to mess with her. Kyle immediately recognized her as Buttercup of the Powerpuff Girls, the superhero trio who battle Townsville's many supervillains and evildoers on a daily basis. He had always seen the action from the sidelines, but now this is the first he's actually stood this close to one of the girls.

"We found out where Dexter is," she informed the officer, "but we're not sure how heavily guarded the place is."

"Alright, Buttercup." Numbuh 2 said. "We can at least get you, Blossom, and Bubbles to stay outside the entrance to hold off the monsters while someone goes inside to rescue him. Maybe I can still call Ben back here or..."

Kyle hesitated for a moment, but he had the strange urge to act and say something. "I'll do it!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"What? Are you crazy? I mean, not to insult you or anything, but you're just a random kid that we found in the middle of the battlefield. You probably don't even have any battle experience besides those Cyberus that chased you."

"I know, but...Dexter's the one who got me into this mess. I figure I at least should be the one who gets him out..."

"...You've got guts, I'll tell you that," Buttercup admitted. "Don't worry, Numbuh 2. Let the kid do what he wants. Anyway, just get some KND members who aren't too busy and tell them to cover us. Kid, you and Numbuh 2 will get in the SCAMPER and fly in when we've made an opening. You better be itching for a fight. You ready?"

"...Ready."

Chapter 3: Battle of Tech Square

The SCAMPER flew across the dark and ominous sky with vigorous speed. Numbuh 2 explained to Kyle that a lot of the Kids Next Door's technologies were given acronyms. "SCAMPER" stood for "Shabby Camper Actually Makes Perfect Emergency Rescue-mabob". Kyle thought it was a little stupid, but Numbuh 2 seemed to really like it. The operative proved to be an excellent pilot, expertly maneuvering the ship and shooting down the Tech Wings attempting to claw their way into the cockpit. Other KND operatives were manning the weapon and control systems, firing rockets and repairing the energy shields. They mostly dressed in protective suits made out of various common materials. Painted in white on their helmets was a number. Numbuh 2 also explained that every member of the Kids Next Door was assigned a codename upon joining the ranks.

A girl named Blossom had come inside the ship to help guide Numbuh 2 in the right direction. She was another member of the Powerpuff Girls. Seeing her made Kyle remember the little childhood crush he had on her, but he was over it now. Still, he blushed in embarrassment when he the memories came back. Blossom dressed in a similar manner as Buttercup but pink in color, and she had long, flowing red hair. Buttercup and the last Powerpuff Girl named Bubbles, the blonde and blue-colored one of the girls, were clearing any remaining monsters getting in the way. They all had the ability to fly and use heat vision, which the they used to destroy the flying Tech Wings. They were same creatures Kyle saw upon awakening in this post-apocalyptic world. They were much more ferocious up close. Just like the Cyberus they were made out of different Dexlab technology pieces corrupted, fused, and given minds of their own by the green slime. They looked like a mix between winged dinosaurs and dragons whose arms doubled as wings like a pterodactyl. They had somehow gained natural, sharp teeth which dripped green slime. Kyle couldn't tell if it was just their saliva or the gooey bonds slowly decomposing.

Kyle stood by the open cockpit door, held back by a short cord to prevent him from falling off. He tried his best to shoot down the monsters. He was getting better at using his weapon now that Numbuh 2 had shown him all of its capabilities. It was a slow process, but Kyle progressively shot down every Tech Wings in sight. He either pierced a wing, rendering it unable to fly, or right through its heart, causing it to explode.

"Pretty good for a newbie." Numbuh 2 remarked.

"It's...no big deal. So where are we going?"

"To the power reactors." Blossom answered. "Since Tech Square is the center for Dexlab products and machinery, it would make sense that there would be a powerful energy source nearby. But now, most of them have been destroyed. One of the remaining ones is the main reactor, but it's inside an Infected Zone."

"Infected Zone?"

"It's an area that's been hit real badly with Fusion Matter, that green goo that you've seen a lot of around here. Inside Infected Zones, Fusion Matter practically distorts the laws of gravity and maybe even science itself. Inanimate objects like destroyed remains float and move around, acting like platforms. These areas also tend to be home to the nests and dens of these monsters so they're very dangerous to wander through. Since they're a serious threat that can spread the infection very quickly, Dexter had set up many shield barriers to contain them. And one of the most dangerous threats of these Infected Zones is that most of them are the home bases of Fusions."

"Fusions?"

"They're evil, twisted versions of us made out of Fusion Matter. Fusions are usually the most powerful of these monsters and act as commanders of these armies. Some are more powerful than their real counterparts. When we have to face one, we're usually on par on them and they eventually get away. Plus, whenever we do manage to destroy them, they eventually come back, badder than ever."

"So one of these 'Fusions' kidnapped Dexter?"

"Yup. We don't know the exact details, but we can assume one of them took Dexter."

"And whose Fusion is it?"

"Buttercup's. She's difficult to take down since she has our Powerpuff powers and only those who can handle a superpowered being can take her on unless you're clever or smart enough to trick her."

"Kyle, are you sure you want to take her?" Numbuh 2 asked. "You'll still have a squad of KND agents with you, but there's no telling if you'll win."

"...Yeah, I'll go."

"If you insist..." he said nervously. "Okay, we're approaching the main reactor! Kyle, you'll have to get out when we land and use the teleporter to get inside. A Dexbot may or may not be guarding it depending if it was destroyed or caught in the crossfire. Once inside, make your way to the reactor. It's a pretty straightforward path."

"Bubbles will be going with you." Blossom added. "We want to make sure the Fusion doesn't have an advantage."

"Okay, we're landing! Hurry!"

Coming to halt in midair, the SCAMPER slowly descended vertically and landed in front of the reactor's entrance. Blossom and the KND operatives quickly exited the ship to help out Buttercup. Once the passengers had exited, Numbuh 2 closed the doors and flew away. He began circling the battlefield to get ready for the getaway trip. Kyle, Bubbles, and five armed Kids Next Door operatives stepped on the panel and were instantly teleported inside the Infected Zone. Kyle had used teleporters on occasions before, but they usually made him nauseous. He almost fell over the moment he was fully materialized, but Bubbles caught him.

"Are you okay?" Bubbles asked worriedly.

"Yeah...I'm fine." he replied trying to hold down his stomach.

The group looked ahead to see multiple Cyberus guarding the area, another pack of them.

"Ready your weapons, guys!" one of the operatives exclaimed.

The pack leader stepped forward. It was the same size as the other one Kyle had encountered. It began growling and barking as if it was trying to communicate to the group.

"We'll let you pass, she's waiting." Bubbles quoted.

"You can understand it?" Kyle asked.

"I can talk to animals, but since this thing is just technology, it's hard to understand it. He basically said that he won't hurt us and to just go ahead."

"Alright then..."

Kyle, Bubbles, and the rest slowly walked through the path to the reactor. The Cyberus watched closely and growled from the sides. The group soon stood in front of the entrance before a voice came on the intercom above the door.

"Ah, you're here." a female voice said. The voice was a reminiscent of Buttercup's, but how it sounded was altered and warped like someone being possessed. "The door's locked, but I'll gladly open it. But only for only one person. Sweet-Blonde-and-Innocent can't be one of them.

"And if we refuse?" an operative asked.

"Well, for one, you won't get your precious nerd back. And two, my little Cyberus pack will gladly rip you to shreds~"

"So who's going-"

"Oh wait, I've never seen that kid before! The boy with the jacket goes, the rest stay!"

"You can't be serious!" Bubbles exclaimed.

"Take it or leave it, sister."

"...Kyle, I guess it's up to you. Please be careful."

Kyle was hesitant, but he proceeded inside the reactor, watching the doors close behind. Almost immediately, he heard the sound something smash against the doors. It was soon followed by the sounds of gunfire and dog-like noises. Kyle started banging on the doors and tried to pull them open, but they were already locked. He tried shooting the doors, but the shots were not powerful enough to piece the reinforced metal. It just left a heated burn mark.

"What the hell!" he exclaimed, hoping the Fusion would hear him. "You never said they'd be attacked!"

"I never said the Cyberus wouldn't attack them after you came inside." the Fusion replied over the speaker. "You should have asked~."

Kyle could hear the Fusion laughing just before she hung up. It infuriated him. He tried to at least communicate with the outside by screaming as loud as he could.

"Bubbles! Guys! Are you all right!"

Kyle then suddenly heard an extremely loud scream. It didn't affect him as much as the doors lowered the frequency, but he could tell it was much louder than how he heard it. It was Bubbles' supersonic scream, one of her special abilities that Blossom and Buttercup couldn't utilize.

"We're fine!" an operative exclaimed. "Bubbles just temporarily deactivated those Cyberus with her scream! She exhausted herself, but she's okay! Just go on! We'll clean up this mess while these things are still down!"

Now alone, Kyle proceeded up the reactor. The reactor was cylinder-like in shape although curved at the center area. Two staircases starting on the east and west ends lead higher up as they converged to form the next set of stair leading to the next floor. At the center was an elevator shaft. Upon closer inspection, the control box had been destroyed and the wiring holding up the elevator car was also broken off. As Kyle approached the stairs, the intercom came on again.

"Hm, completely forgot about Sunshine's supersonic scream." the Fusion remarked. It was obvious by her tone that she was annoyed about forgetting this simple fact. "No matter, I'll just have to deal with you myself. You came for your nerd, right? Take those stairs to the main control room. You'll find it. I look forward to our meeting. Hehehe..."

There was no way back now, but Kyle had already made his decision back at the SCAMPER. He ascended the stairs to the center of the building. He soon came to a set of large, red, metal double doors. Slowly, he opened it and stepped inside, weapon in hand for whatever awaited him inside. Instead of some monstrous creature or kind of threat, Kyle was shocked to see Buttercup lying on the ground, badly injured with her clothes tattered. On instinct, Kyle hurriedly ran towards her to see if she was okay.

"Wait!" a voice exclaimed trying to stop him. It was Dexter. He was trapped in an energy-based prison cell. Electrical currents ran through the bars. One could visibly see the electricity trying to escape the metal surface, waiting for someone to touch it. Dexter was safe since he sat in the center, but it seemed the prison disabled use of weapons so he couldn't escape. "Don't go near her! That's not Buttercup!"

"What are you talking about?" Kyle asked thinking Dexter had gone insane. "This is obviously-!"

"Buttercup" clenched her fist and immediately punched Kyle with her superstrength. Kyle was sent flying towards the wall with great force. The impact was enough to leave a human-shaped dent in the wall. Kyle lied on the ground with intense pain. He was surprised he was still even alive from a blow like that. He thought he would be dead or at least unconscious by now.

"Like I said," Dexter continued, "that's not Buttercup! That's her Fusion! They have the ability to impersonate us..."

"Oh, you're no fun." the Fusion said. "You should've been a good little boy and kept your mouth shut. Guess there's no need for to look like this hideous form anymore."

The Fusion began transform. She grew slightly bigger, her clothes and hair became darker, her skin turned dark green by becoming made of Fusion Matter, and her face became twisted with red glowing eyes just like those small creatures from earlier. Kyle was lying there shocked as he gazed upon the Fusion's transformation.

"It doesn't even matter now if you do stop me now! Even if you destroy me, there's no stopping the plan! I've already set the reactor to blow and wipe out Tech Square!"
