Plot
The story starts in the 2016’s City of Townsville, in 2016 Mojo Jojo’s volcano lair where he comes up with a plan to finally destroy the Powerpuff Girls once and for all: travel to a alternate universe, team up with his dimensional counterpart, and destroy the entire Powerpuff Multi-verse. Just as he was about to enter the portal, The (2016) Powerpuff Girls shows up. They try to stop him, but Mojo Jojo escapes into the portal, causing the Powerpuff girls to follow him.

As they reach the end of the portal, they landed in the (1998) City of Townsville. There was no sign of the Mojo Jojo from their world, but they ran across and meet their original dimensional counterparts (voiced by Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily) who quickly dislike their 2016 counterpart and think they’re one of HIM’s tricks, three man impersonating them, or one of the leftovers of Dick Hardly’s Powerpuff Girls Xtremes. At first the two Powerpuff Girls teams fight each other, punching and kicking until the 2016’s Powerpuff Girls explain to the 1998’s Powerpuff Girls that the Mojo Jojo from the 2016’s world has travel to their world to team up with their Mojo Jojo to destroy the entire Powerpuff Multi-verse including both their worlds. So the two Powerpuff Girls teams trust each other (except for the Buttercups after they insulted each other during the battle) and team up to defeat the Mojo Jojos… before bedtime.

Meanwhile, the 2016’s Mojo Jojo has arrived to his counterpart’s volcano lair and he quickly team up with him to destroy the whole Powerpuff Multi-verse by setting black hole bombs on all the Townsville Halls in the universe. Meanwhile back in the 1998’s Powerpuff Girls’ house, as the 2016’s Powerpuff Girls admire their counterparts bedroom, both teams try to figure out how to defeat the Mojo Jojos until the Professor comes in and becomes confused and faint after noticing that there are six of them (two sets of them). When the girls explains to him that their doubles are from a alternative dimension and the Mojo Jojo from their world is here to team up with their Mojo Jojo to destroy every powerpuff girls world in existence, thats when the Powerpuff Hotline ring and The Mayor and Ms. Bellum call to inform them that the two Mojo Jojos are placing their device in Town Hall. Both the 1998 and the 2016 Powerpuff Girls head towards Townsville Hall.

As the 1998 and 2016 Powerpuff Girls arrive in Townsville Hall, the mayor and Ms. Bellum were shocked to see six of them and the girls fly off to take the device but they are attacked by drones leftover by two mojo jojo's to attack them, The 2016 girl including their aura forms are too weak for them to fight,So the 1998 do it by themselves by destroying the drones and then deactivate the bomb.

The girls  then take it back to the Professor’s lab. When the Professor examines the bomb, the 1998 PowerPuff Girls teach their rebooted counterparts how to fight harder with their arms and legs by entering the fight simulation chamber,However despite their attempt to use their arms and legs with out their aura powers to fight against the training virtual monsters, the 2016 girls are not good enough to combat them and 1998 bubbles shows them how it is done and shouts at them that they have to do it right which the 2016 blossom ask her 1998 counterpart if 1998 bubbles is sometimes like this which she tells her that she is but then the 1998 professor calls the girls to come quickly to his lab ,He tells them that the bomb is  connected with three (four in Japanese version) other black hole bombs and are set to go off in one hour, one in the 2016’s world, one in a Z dimension (Japanese version), one in the prime (pilot) dimension, and one in the Dance Pantsed dimension. And they’re all located in every Townsville Hall. The two PowerPuff Girls teams have to work together and deactivate the other bomb to save the other PowerPuff dimensions. The Professor gives them an invention that will allow them to travel to different dimensions as the Powerpuff Girls from 1998 and 2016 head to the 2016 PowerPuff Girls world! Before they head out to stop the Mojo Jojos as the 1998 professor wishes them good luck,

When they arrive to the 2016 PowerPuff Girls world, they head towards Townsville Hall but they notice 2016 professor all tied up and rescue him however it was all a trap where  1998 and 2016 Mojo Jojo were waiting for them and capture them all! and use the drones to attack them but the girls manage to escape,defeat the drones despite that the ppg 2016 are too weak to attack them ,rescue the 2016 professor  and deactivate the black hole bomb, the Mojos head to the next dimension,and the girls followed them.

In the Japanese version, they entered the anime Powerpuff Girls Z dimension where everything is completely different from their worlds. Soon the Mojo Jojo from the Powerpuff Girls Z dimension shows up and teams up with the two Mojo Jojos to stop the two teams of Powerpuff Girls, until the Powerpuff Girls Z comes in and team ups with their dimensional counterparts and deactivated the third black hole bomb. The Powerpuff Girls from 1998 and 2016 heads to the next dimension while the Powerpuff Girls Z stay in the Z dimension while holding their Mojo Jojo in captive.

They arrived in the CGI Dance Pantsed dimensions and as they all head to the Townsville Hall in that dimension, the Mojo Jojo from this world joins the fight attack them but then the PowerPuff Girls from this world appear and team up with them. The three teams of PowerPuff Girls were able to deactivate the third (fourth in the Japanese version) black hole bomb and captured all three Mojo Jojo's. But Mojo Jojo from 2016 tells them that there’s still one left in the prime (pilot) PowerPuff dimension, and if that universe is destroyed, so are the other PowerPuff Girls universes. So the PowerPuff Girls from 1998 and 2016 heads to the final dimension while the CGI Dance Pantsed version of them stay in their world to make sure they prevent three mojo jojo's from stopping them.

When the 1998 Powerpuff Girls and the 2016 Powerpuff Girls arrived in the prime (pilot) Powerpuff Girls dimension from 1992 (The world that came before both the 1998 and 2016’s world), they quickly received a very unwelcome greeting from that dimensions Powerpuff Girls. The 1998 Powerpuff Girls tried their best to stop their prime counterparts but they are unstoppable this cause the 2016 girls to rush towards them and use their fist to hit them causing their prime powerpuffs to loose  consciousness ,The 1998 girls are proud of their 2016 counterparts as they are glad they use their fist to save them even though it cause the prime powerpuff girls to lie in coma and they will have to apologise to them after they deactivate the last bomb

As they race their way to Townsville hall and deactivate the final black hole bomb, the portal from the Danced Pantsed world opened up with the defeated Powerpuff Girls from that world and appearing from the portal are the 3 mojo jojo's who are free from their captive thanks to 1998's Mojo's trick on his sleeve which is a laser cannon (in the Japanese version, the portal from Powerpuff Girls Z world would also open and the Powerpuff Girls Z were defeated by Powerpuff Girls Z Mojo Jojo as he too has trick on his sleeve which is also a laser cannon). The 1998 Mojo then use his cannon to zap the six girls leaving them defeated, and as the 1998 Mojo Jojo gives a speech to the three (four in japanese version) powerpuff girls that this is their end, Both blossoms of 1998 and 2016 stand up and give a motivated speech about all of them being the Powerpuff Girls; no matter how different they are, after that all different versions of Powerpuff Girls rise up and  fought the Mojo Jojo's as one.

The Blossoms took out Dance Pantsed Mojo Jojo, The Bubbles took out 1998 Mojo Jojo, the Buttercups took out 2016 Mojo Jojo, (For Japanese version the Powerpuff Girls Z took out their version of Mojo Jojo), and then all of them delivered one final blow to all the Mojo Jojos. Once the Mojo Jojos are defeated,The girls forgot about the bomb as they reach zero but thankfully the prime powerpuff girls after they wake up from the punch they got from the 2016 girls fly up to townsville hall and  deactivate the bomb before it went off they then wave goodbye to their counterparts and fly offscreen.

After the 1998 and 2016 girls wave goodbye to their dance pantsed counterparts (and the Z girls in the japanese version) as they fly back to the portal to return to their home world with their mojo jojo's ,They then bid each other  farewell as the 2016 girls wave goodbye to their 1998 counterparts and took their mojo jojo with them to their world and before the 1998 girls return to their homeworld with their Mojo Jojo ,1998 Buttercup said to 98 Blossom, “You know Blossom,I guess those Powerpuff Girls aren’t so bad after all… Not!”

And the story ends with the narrator says “And so once again, the day and universe is saved. Thanks to… The Powerpuff Girls! Wow! Who knew there were so many of them?” The End.
