On the streets of Neo City, a boy came from the original worlds from the shuttle station to go to camp Chaos. He Had blonde hair with Blue eyes, and wore a yellow and silver lined hero costume with circuit patterns made with transformable nano tech, there was also a red cape and a morphable mask to cover his face in combat. This is Adam Rey.
(Adam's POV)
Other kids i know start their day with orange juice. Me, I get laughed at by dozens of people in the station because my costumes cheesy.
Where's the love for the new guy? I barely finish a class in High School and then i get these powers outta nowhere and this outfit from my folks. Its not easy learning the ropes of a hero all by yourself. Lets face it, 'introduction to superheroing' isn't exactly a High-School elective. Heh, im sounding like Spider Man, aren't i? Least if i go do this camping stuff, i'll have a better handle on this biz.
(Normal POV)
It wasn't until Adam got out of the shuttle station, adjusting his cape so that it didnt stick on the door, that he saw a man. He was tall and very muscular with a Huge chin and military attire.
(Cue-Sgt. Slaughter Theme-Hard Corps)
"GREETINGS YOUNG ONE! I AM MAJOR STRONGHOLD! AND I'M THE HEAD TRAINER OF THE TRAINING CAMP WHERE YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME TO BECOME STRONG, DEPENDABLE AND BRAVE, QUALITIES NEEDED TO BECOME A HERO!" the Major explained.
Adam was a bit surprised that this Major guy was talking so loudly, he even sweatdropped a bit. Nonetheless, he was okay with it. "I uh… look forward to the opportunity. Its gotta be something. Well, i guess i'd better tell you who i am. Names Adam Rey. Im a Blessed, and my Gift is called Mechanize. I can morph any part my body into futuristic weapons like im a full blown arsenal, anything i can think of."
"I SEE... YOU HAVE A VERY UNIQUE GIFT. IT'S SIMILAR TO ONE OF OUR NON-BLESSED TRAINEES BUT I CAN TELL IT'S DIFFERENT!" the Major stated.
Adam then noticed a few people snickering at him because of his attire
"IS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG. YOUNG ADAM?" the Major asked.
"Its my costume Major. They think its cheesy because im wearing it when my folks clearly designed it for my powers. But it only surmises that they think im like Superman during his early heroing days." Adam said trying to lighten up the sentence with a joke.
The Major laughed, "DO NOT MIND THOSE PEOPLE! YOU ARE TRAINING AS HERO AFTER ALL, A HERO HAS THE RIGHTS TO CHOOSE WHAT TO WEAR. SEVERAL HEROES WORKING FOR THE COALITION HAS FAR MORE RIDICULOUS COSTUME COMPARED TO YOURS, SO DON'T LET OTHER PEOPLE BRING YOU DOWN FOR WHAT YOU WEAR!" he reassured.
"Wow, thanks Major… im mean Sir!" Adam said. "So uh, we headed to the camp soon?"
"NOT YET! I'M STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER NEW TRAINEE COMING TODAY!" he replied loudly.
On cue, a girl got off the shuttle station. She wore a purple t-shirt with a skull, torn screw neck and triangular sleeves, a plaid lavender skirt, a light gray belt, and high purple boots. The girl was carrying a purple guitar and began acting wildly without a care in the world.
"Alright! Im finally here!" she said strumming her guitar a bit.
"SHE'S ENERGETIC! I GIVE HER THAT!" the Major said before approaching the girl, "GREETINGS YOUNG LASS! I AM MAJOR STRONGHOLD AND I'M THE HEAD TRAINER OF THE TRAINING CAMP! I PRESUME YOU CAME HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE A BLESSED." he stated.
"You got it, dude. Names Luna Loud. I'm from Royal Woods, Michigan on the original earth. I come from a large family.. But lets just leave at that, cool?" Luna said.
"Yeah, i think thats all we need to know." Adam assured.
"NICE TO MEET YOU YOUNG LUNA! YOU WON'T REGRET COMING HERE! I WILL TRAIN YOU HARD THAT YOU CAN BECOME A HERO THAT WILL MAKE YOUR FAMILY PROUD!" the Major stated loudly.
"Well, honestly my folks wanted me to come here to control my powers. I uh… kinda go a little overboard with em. But its cool with me, cuz if i get to be a hero, its no big deal! I get to be famous in a different way." Luna said.
"Thats pretty symbolic, even if youre a rockstar." Adam said.
"Thanks, dude!" Luna said. Luna then began to have a conversation with Adam like what's their hobbies and later ended asking questions about respective Gifts.
The Major laughed before cutting their conversation, "OKAY! I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME WE HEAD TOWARDS THE TRAINING CAMP!" he said before grabbing both of them with his right hand while the other hand grabs their bags, Adam began to scream while Luna seems to enjoy it, "I CAN SEE A BRIGHT FUTURE FOR THE TWO OF YOU!" he claimed with a laugh before he started walking.
Later...

The three then arrived at a huge facility that resembles a castle. Adam and Luna looked at it awe.
"WHoa…" Adam said.
"This place is way past cool! I didnt know we were in a castle!" Luna said.
The Major laughed loudly at their reactions, "I'M GLAD THAT YOU LIKE THE PLACE! COME! LET'S HEAD INSIDE!" he suggested.
The three then entered the building and made their way on the receptionist's desk where they see a young woman with blonde hair tied in a bun wearing a blue uniform jacket, skirt, black tights and black high heels.
"Oh Major!" the woman greeted them, "You're back. And I believe this two are the new recruits." she stated.
The Major nodded, "YES PENELOPE!" he answered before looking back at the two, "THIS PENELOPE VON STEINER, SHE'S AN ATTENDANT AND A SECRETARY OF THE COALITION!" he said before turning back to the blonde woman, "PENELOPE! I WANT YOU TO ASSIGN THEM A GUIDE TO SHOW THEM AROUND THE PLACE!" he ordered which she nodded.
"So were starting with the old fashioned tour, eh? What about training?" Adam asked.
"YOU'RE TRAINING STARTS TOMORROW, YOUNG ADAM! BUT TODAY I WANT THE TWO OF YOU TO LOOK AROUND THE PLACE AND MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE! WELL THEN, I SHALL TAKE MY LEAVE." the Major said before leaving the entrance hall.
"You two should take a seat on the couch over there and wait for your guide to arrive." Penelope instructed.
The two nodded before taking a seat on a couch. The two started another conversation like how well will they fair in training or wondering what the other trainees looks like. Then a young man with a black hair tied in low ponytail under a black beanie hat, white polo shirt with a black tie, black slacks and black leather shoes arrived.
"Salutations, Newcomers. My name is Eddward Marion Smith aka Edd or Double D and I will serve as your guide today. And I welcome the two of you." the young man introduced himself.
"Hey, names Adam Rey. Glad to be here." Adam said.
"Luna Louds mine, D-Man! Glad to be here too!" Luna said twirling her guitar.
Double D looks at Adam, "Is she always like this?" he asked.
"I wouldn't know, i've barely known her." Adam said.
(Plays NXT Theme - Roar of the Crowd)
Double D then began to show the two around the place, "The training facility or training camp whichever you call it, is where Blessed and other aspiring heroes are trained. It is known for it's world-class strength and conditioning program. The camp trains around 40 to 60 trainees at any one time. The trainees are usually Blessed but it also train people with variety of experience levels from beginners to experienced fighters across different worlds and universe." he explained.
"Man, this coalition really takes heroism to a whole new level." Adam said, impressed.
"You got that right, dude. I've never seen anything like this in my life." Luna added.
The trio then entered the training area where they saw several trainees doing different workouts. Adam then noticed a Mexican young man wearing a black Fedora on his head, has dark eyes and a long stubbled beard, he was bare-chested and wears a white pants, black suspenders and shoes. The young man was lifting a dumbbell with one hand as he glares at Adam and Luna.
"I dont like the way that guys lookin at us…" Luna said.
"Is that normal for this place, Double D?" Adam asked.
Double D sighed, "Please ignore people like him. In a training facility where the stakes of becoming a hero are very high, arrogant people such as him are bound to exist." he stated.
The trio then went to see a group of boys and one girl in one side of the area, singing the song Faithfully by Journey, Luna seems to like their singing while Adam was perplexed.
"Hey fellas!" Double D called getting everyone's attention, "I would like to introduce to you the new recruits." he said.
Both Adam and Luna introduced themselves in their own ways as the rest introduced themselves. Adam seemed to know Danny, Jake and Randy well from photos of his parents with them saving their respective homes, and he and Luna got along well with Marcus, Ed, and Rolf. when they set their eyes on Yoshika though, they've never heard of her before, and a bit surprised at her profession of being a Strike Witch and combating the Neurois, but still were able to get along with her.
"So how do you like the training camp so far?" Rex asked.
"Gotta admit, its pretty sweet." Adam said.
"I gotta a gree with you there, man. This is way better than what my bro and sis's told me it would be!" Luna said strumming her guitar a bit.
Eddy smirked upon setting sights on Luna, "Hey there... pretty lady." he greeted the girl with a smooth voice, "You're one awesome gal, how about going out with an awesome and handsome, hot stud like me." he said while slicking his hair back and rubbing his fingernails on his shirt.
"Uh… thanks, but…" Luna said. "I gotta say no, youre not up my alley."
Eddy gasped in shock while everyone minus Double D, Yoshika and Adam, began to cheer loudly and laughing at him.
"WOO-HOO! Eddy got rejected again!" Marcus cheered.
"This makes the 9th time this month that he got rejected." Danny said.
Eddy then runs away while crying over-dramatically like a heartbroken high school girl.
Adam raised an eyebrow. "Wow. is that Ladies man usually that dramatic?"
Double D chuckled, "This spectacle usually happens everyday but I'm sure you'll get used it, but worry not, because we're all good friends here." he said.
"Glad to hear it. So, Luna and I are getting in on the training starting tomorrow, but we have no idea how anything works around here. Is the training hard?"
"Oh... it's hard I'm telling ya." Marcus answered with a tired voice.
"Yes. The training reminds of Rolf of his Nano's punishment of climbing a tall and steep mountain barefooted without food and shelter." Rolf stated.
"Whoa, thats harsh man." Luna said just thinking about it.
Jake then took notice. "Don't mind Rolf, his statements can be over exaggerated sometimes." he said.
"Really? Then whys he gotta put the image in my head?" Luna asked.
"So, what's the training routine like around here?" Adam asked,.
"It depends on the trainer. But we usually train six days a week, from 8 in the morning to 6 in the evening with a 15 minutes break each hour and one hour break for lunch." Double D elaborated.
"God-DAMN…" Adam said.
"Thats a heck of a workout session." Luna said.
Rex chuckled, "We had the same reactions when we first came here." he said.
"But don't fret. The training maybe hard but the results are fulfilling." Marcus reassured.
"So, about the other trainer dudes. Are they all gonna look like that Major?" Luna asked.
"There are total of 17 trainers in this facility, but the camp also hires guest trainers from around the universe." Yoshika answered.
"Most of our trainers are plain crazy but their training methods are proven effective." Danny added.
"What about the other trainees that become heroes via this course?" Andam asked.
"We never met any of them yet but according to Penelope-san, they take missions from the Coalition but still have time to train here." Yoshika replied.
"Just like us." Randy said.
"Wait, you guys are legit in the hero biz? All of you together?" Adam asked.
"The ten of us, including Eddy, are part of the team called New Age Avengers." Marcus declared.
"And Double D is our leader." Yoshika said.
"WHoa, you?!" Adam asked.
"Thats awesome, D-Man!" Luna said.
"Thanks. But truth to be told, I'm just a placeholder for that position." Double D admitted.
"Huh? Why?" Adam asked.
"You see, the leadership position was originally for Marcus, but since he has still incompetent and immature that he admits, I took the leader role until he adjust the ropes." Double D explained.
Adam then looks at Marcus who is picking his nose with a raised eyebrow.
"So, we gonna join your band too after our workouts, or what?" Luna asked.
"Well... each team's only consist of ten members each. So if you worked hard enough and bonded with your friends, you may become a part for the next team." Rex explained.
"Rolf and friends bonded like a family of sheep, that's why we became a group called team, yes." Rolf added.
"But I believe you two have what it takes to become a hero." Marcus said.
Adam and Luna looked at each other before smiling. Then Luna noticed that Ed was quiet for sometime now.
"Uh… hey, you okay there, big guy? Why are you not sayin anything?" Luna asked.
"Uhm... Ed. You've been tight-lipped for some time now, anything wrong?" Jake asked.
Ed silently walks in front of Adam and Luna making them nervous while looking up with his gigantic height, Ed then gave them a big smile before engulfing them in a hug, "Ed hugs new friends!" he said happily.
"Gack! Thats a grip…!" Adam said choking a bit.
"Hey, i like it! Kinda reminds me of my fam's group hugs!" Luna said.
"Ed... if you want to hug them, you could just asked." Double D said.
"Well... at least they're enjoying it." Marcus remarked.
Later...
"And this is where our tour ends. Right in front of you are rooms where you'll be staying." Double D declared.
"Guh, that was a walk…" Adam said.
"No kiddin…" Luna added.
Double D chuckled from their comments before looking at a paper, "Now... as for your room arrangement..." he said when his eyes widen, "... wait a second? This can't be right!" he said looking at the paper again before looking back at the two, "Excuse me for a minute, I'll be right back." he said before leaving.
Adam and Luna looks at each other in confusion. Then the two had another conversation when Double D came back.
"Sorry about that. I had a good news and a bad news: The Good news, you have room, the bad news is that your roommates." Double D announced.
The rockstar and the highschooler looked at each other. Truth be told, neither of them seemed shocked.
"You both are perfectly okay with having a mixed room?" Double D asked.
"D-Man, I bunk with one of my sis's, and she's a hardcore prankster. And i only have one bro, so bunking with Adam, thats nothing." Luna said.
"Yeah, never had any problems with bunking with girls before." Adam said.
"Excellent! Be Sure to wake up at 8 sharp. For now, good night, fellows." Double D said before walking off.
"I promise not to do any funny business while were in this group." Adam said.
"Dont sweat it dude, im not that kinda girl either." Luna said.
"Let's get this hero thing goin." Adam said.
"Oh yeah!" Luna said as they bumped fists.
