It's been five days since the horrifying move by Dragon.

Neo-City is now back to normal, but while everybody is back to their usual lives, the massive attack have left a scar to it's citizens and a same time fueled their passion to live further.

The attack did left a bad mark and good mark, which one is better, it depends on the person.

Currently in the Training Facility, everybody are doing their usual routines. Meanwhile, inside Double D's office, we see the young COO working on his laptop when Minna entered the room.

"Eddward, I got a call from Mr. Alligator that he wants one of us to send this documents to the Heroes Coalition branch in Mega-Tokyo." Minna said presenting a folder.

"Just put it there and I'll have Dan Gotanda deliver those documents later." Double D replied.

Minna placed the documents on the table, "Wow... five days non-stop working, the Coalition gotten a lot busier after the attack." she commented.

Double D sighed, "You're right... missions we're delayed during that day, so most of our friends are not here right now. We also had to deal with the damage cost and help insurance for the families who lost a relative from the attack." he stated, "Neo-City managed to recover that fast followed by CHS, but Akihabara and Metal City are probably beyond repair." he said.

"I'm just glad that we survive, if something happens to you, I don't know what to do anymore." Minna said solemnly.

"The thoughts the same." Double D replied.

"By the way, what is the mission the New Age Avengers had this time?" Minna asked changing the subject.

"Marcus and the gang are currently at Uminari City right now to recruit the Blessed that was detected there along with investigating a certain anomaly." Double D explained.

"Anomalies?" Minna repeated.

"Creatures that appear in the middle of the night, no it's not a new type of Emotionless, something more sinister and the Medic calls them... the Nightmares." Double D revealed with narrowed eyes as loud thunder and flash of lightning was heard and seen from the outside.

bzzzttt...

Somewhere in Uminari City, we go to a mansion, it was old and seems to be abandoned but one man believes that is not. The man entered the mansion with a knife in hand, ready to kill whoever is living in this place, he searched through the entire mansion, checking out every room and opening every doors, cabinets and shelves but found no one.

The man gritted his teeth, "Some day... I'll get her and kill her..." he said under his breath before leaving the premises.

Minutes later, after the man left, a group of 23 people came out from hiding, this people are none other than the New Age Avengers along with their honorary members Panooki, Mumbo, the Vivid 4 and the Insanity group.

"Man... that guy's persistent! That's for sure!" Eddy commented. He is currently wearing a black & white striped shirt, white pants and black boots with his trademark scarf wrapped around his shoulders.

"We've been here for three days and two nights, I can't believe that guy would come back here for two straight nights!" Marcus grumbled in disbelief. He is currently wearing a white t-shirt with Rainbow Dash's Cutie Mark on it over a purple long sleeve shirt, blue pants and white sneakers.

"Well, after learning the history of those who lived in this mansion back then, it's not surprising to see people like those coming in here holding a grudge." XY Girl stated.

"Still... I find his motives and reasoning really stupid." Duncan piped in.

"Umm... can I come out now?" a voice asked.

Yoshika looks back, "Sure! He's gone, your safe for now." she replied.

"Do you really need to add "for now"?" Wakaba quipped.

Then a girl then steps out from the shadows, "Don't worry, I understand what she meant." she said.

"I'm just glad that we met you days ago, didn't expect the Blessed that we're looking for is you, Nodoka." Rex said with his arms crossed.

New Blessed Recruit

Nodoka Takehara

Nodoka is a young girl, the same age as the Vivid 4, she had a long curly brown hair, a pale skin and green eyes. She wears a blue short blazer jacket over a black turtleneck top, white skirt, white pantyhose and brown shoes.

"Good thing we have this Barrier Making Machine or else that guy could have seen us." Danny commented.

Himawari stares at a box like machine emitting a green light, "The Science and Research Department never cease to amaze me." she muttered with stars in her eyes.

"I can't believe they manage to come up with something like this." Vaas said as an image of Dr. Pating, Dr. Apoy and Jimmy Neutron appeared giving them a thumbs up.

Eddy then turns again to Marcus, "So... what should we do for tonight?" he asked.

"I think we should gather around in the living room and talk things there." Marcus suggested.

"Well then, I'll prepare tea for everyone." Nodoka offered.

Later, the team are gathered around the living room, with some are sitting on the couches and chairs, some sat on the carpet, Eddy even lies down in a sexy pose. Meanwhile, Nodoka handed everyone snacks and teas.

"Here you go." Nodoka said handing Needles a cup of tea.

"Thanks cupcake." Needles replied.

"So what's are our move?" Miss Fortune asked taking a bite of a biscuit, "Mm! This is really good!" she commented.

"Thank you very much." Nodoka replied.

"To answer your question! Since we're done with our first objective, find the Blessed residing in this city which is Nodoka, we should focus on our second objective... investigate about those mysterious creatures called the Nightmares." Marcus explained.

"Lemme guess, the Medic named them." Randy stated with a blank look.

"Putting aside the name, according to the Medic, this creatures only comes out deep in the night, unfortunately during our first two nights here, we didn't encounter a single one of them." Marcus pointed out.

"That means this Nightmares are better at hiding compare to Emotionless." Ichigo said. He is currently wearing a black turtleneck sweater, white pants and black shoes.

Marcus nodded, "We still don't know how this creatures are made of, just like how we started with the Emotionless, but according to the reports this guys comes out in different shapes and sizes." he said.

"You mean they don't look like dinosaurs with no mouth." Aoi pointed out earning a nod from Marcus.

"Great... if Emotionless weren't enough." Rex said sarcastically.

"You think this a work of the Summoner." XY Girl stated.

Marcus shook his head, "Definitely not, I know that she's capable of creating creatures but I think she's only limited to the Emotionless. It's either someone created this creatures or they we're form on their own is still up to debate." he said.

"So what's the plan now?" Taro asked as Nodoka then raised her hand.

"What is it Nodoka?" Marcus asked like a college professor.

"Umm... I had a future sight about what's about to happen tonight.'' Nodoka claimed.

"Really?" Jake asked.

Panooki gasped, "That's right! Her Gift is called Future Sight, the ability to see the future!" she exclaimed.

"I can only use my Gift from time to time, I haven't fully mastered my ability yet.'' Nodoka stated.

"So... what did you see?" Akane asked.

"I saw... a strange creature appearing in the city... the vision was so blurry that I didn't see the exact location of the place." Nodoka replied.

"I see... then we shall go the city tonight and find this creature!" Marcus declared.

"That's a good idea Marcus but there's one problem... WHERE!? Uminari City is a big as Neo-City, it'll take us forever to find that creature!" Eddy yelled.

"It could be anywhere and that adds the difficulty of the search." Geraldo said from the far back.

"Umm... if you don't mind, can I come? If I go I may actually recognized the place from my vision." Nodoka suggested.

"Are you sure Nodoka? It's gonna be dangerous." Ed pointed out. He is currently wearing a white trenchcoat over his red & white striped shirt, black skinny jeans and brown faceless boots.

"I'm aware of that... but since I'm joining you guys, I need to experience dangerous situations to build up my courage if I want to become a hero." Nodoka reasoned.

Marcus nodded, "I understand... all right, you're in! But we can't have going in the city altogether, so three of us will be accompanying Nodoka in this task." he stated.

"So how do we decide things like this?" Mumbo asked.

Marcus smirked before bringing out a can of straws, "Straws?" Danny asked.

"Straws!" Marcus repeated, "We decide who comes by drawing straws." he said.

"But bro, you suck when comes to drawing straws." Eddy said.

"Don't worry bro... luck is on my side." Marcus replied with a grin.

bzzzttt...

"Yup... luck is really on my side." Marcus grumbled.

"So you expect to stay back from this task, don't be lazy." Eddy retorted.

Walking in the city streets accompanying Nodoka are Marcus, Eddy and Rolf. Nodoka is wearing a black hooded jacket and glasses covering her head.

"So where do we start looking for the bad dream creatures called Nightmares?" Rolf asked. He is currently wearing a gray jagged edge vest over a white polo shirt, blue shorts, white socks and brown hiking boots.

"It could be around here somewhere.'' Marcus mused.

"Found it!" Nodoka announced pointing at an alley illuminated by red light.

Marcus blinks, "That was fast...'' he said as they enter the alley, "... are you sure this is the place?'' he asked Nodoka.

"My visions maybe blurry but I remember a red light behind the creature.'' Nodoka replied.

Eddy looks for a bit, before doing a double take, his eyes widen s sweat began to pour over his head, "Uh... guys... by creature... do you mean that!?'' he said pointing upwards.

The rest looks up and their eyes widen in shock, just above them was a large cartoon-drawn spider with creepy red eyes and mammoth-like fangs, it's eight legs are covered with white fur and the rest the body are black with a mixed of green.

"I think I know why this creatures are called Nightmares... this one looks like it came from a nightmare of a five-year old.'' Marcus stated in panic.

And with that the Nightmare lunges at them but they managed to dodge it.

"Eddy! Rolf! Take it down!" Marcus ordered.

"What about you?'' Eddy asked.

Marcus stood in front of Nodoka, "I can't used my Gift inside this alley, it's too dangerous, the only thing I can do is protect Nodoka.'' he exclaimed.

Eddy nodded, "Got it! Let's go, Stretch!" he said.

"Way ahead of you, Ed-boy!" Rolf replied.

The two charges at the spider Nightmare as the creature made it's way towards them, Eddy swung his flaming fist hitting the spider's head, the creature retaliates by swinging it's tusk but Eddy dodges by somersaulting backwards as Rolf delivers a rocky forearm smash at the creature making it skid backwards before shooting out a web but Rolf grabs the silk with his rocky fist before pulling it while the creature pulls back.

As the two are having a tug-of-war, Eddy ignites his fist before jumping over Rolf, "LITTLE BRO!" he shouted as he brought down his fist at the creature's head burning it's face causing it to shriek in pain.

Rolf uses this chance to pull the creature towards before tackling it on the ground as he began to pound it, "Foul creature! You have no match for Rolf! Feel the wrath of the fist from the Son of Shepard!" he exclaimed in every punches, he then quickly got up and forms a large hammer made of rock from his palms and raised it up high, "Goodbye! So says the Son of Shepard!" he declared before bringing down the hammer squashing the creature, "All is forgiven.'' he said with a smile.

"That takes care of that.'' Eddy commented.

Everyone watches as the creature turns into dust, "So are they made of dust?'' Nodoka asked.

Marcus looks at it, "I believe they turn into dust whenever they die, but how they came to be is still a mystery.'' he stated.

"Welp! I think we should head back and tell everyone what we just discovered.'' Eddy suggested earning a nod from the rest.

They we're about to walk away when a voice stopped them, "Hold it right there.'' a voice said.

The four looks up to see a girl standing at a platform looking down at them with a stink eye and a pocky stick in her mouth, "Rolf may ask who you are?'' Rolf asked.

The girl smirked, "Aka Red...'' she introduced herself before dropping down, "... and I'm Uminari's Nightmare Hunter.'' she claimed.

Uminari Nightmare Hunter

Aka Red

Aka is a young girl, the same age as Nodoka, she had a bright red hair tied in a spiky ponytail, peach skin and had golden eyes. She wears a black choker around her neck, a dark sleeveless tank top, dark arm warmers, black scantily-clad shorts with yellow belt, black & red striped socks and white sneakers.

"Aka..." Eddy muttered.

"Red...'' Rolf said in confusion.

"Wow... that's... a meaningful name...'' Marcus said in awe.

"Umm... what can we do for you?'' Nodoka asked politely while feeling a bit nervous.

Aka glares at the four, "You see... I had my eye on that Nightmare then suddenly the four people, two of them having weird abilities, arrived and took my kill from me, and I don't appreciate people stealing my prey.'' she declared.

"I see... sorry about, we're just doing an investigation about those-" Marcus tried to explain only to be cut off rudely by the redhead.

"Save it! I don't need to hear your petty excuses! I'm going to teach you guys a lesson for stepping on my turf!'' Aka hissed.

"Turf? Who are you the mayor of this city?'' Eddy asked indecorously.

"I've been hunting down and killing some Nightmares for quite sometime now in this city! So I considered this city mine because I'm the reason why people are safe from those creatures!'' Aka boasted.

"So you think you're a hero huh? Well listen here... people who marked places as their territory are not considered heroes!" Marcus said with a glare.

Aka smirked, "Like I give a shit about that...'' she said before suddenly turning her hands into large drills, much to the four's shock, "... okay then which of you four should I drill first?'' she mused with a sadistic grin.

"What the?'' Marcus gasped.

"What is she? an Enhanced? a Cursed? a Blessed?" Eddy asked.

Aka raised an eyebrow, "What are you guys talking about? I just got my ability after a strange light fell down on me.'' she said.

"Definitely a Blessed.'' Eddy muttered.

"Yup.'' Marcus replied in agreement before getting into a fighting stance, "Okay... if it's a fight that you want, then it's a fight that you get!" he declared as he, Eddy and Rolf got into a fighting position while Nodoka stood from the back.

"Don't fight!" a voice called out.

Marcus deadpanned, "What now?'' he asked when a suddenly all of them including Aka were wrapped by a pink colored chain restraining them, "Uh-oh...'' he said.

"Uh-oh, indeed.'' Eddy replied with a blank face.

"What's going on?'' Nodoka cried in panic.

"What is this doohickey that restrains Rolf's movement?'' Rolf asked in confusion.

"Damn it! Let me go! Who the hell did this!?'' Aka demanded as she tried to get the chain off her to no avail.

Suddenly, two young woman a lot older than the boys came out from the shadows, one had brown hair and the other had blonde hair, both of their hair are tied in pigtails.

"Fighting is restricted in this city.'' the brown haired girl declared.
