It was a wonderful morning in Mega-Tokyo.
We then head towards one of the biggest schools in Mega-Tokyo, Heartcross Academy.
Heartcross Academy is an all-girls schools, where students not only learn the basics but also morals, morals of friendship and respect. The school is divided by north, south, east and west. The school is divided in each group from different buildings. Each floor consists of different age groups of students from pre-teens to the older teens, all talented and gifted. In occasions, the school can get a bit big for visitors as the school has been to known to be quite huge even for those that studied there even amongst the gifted. Heartcross provides dorms for those with scholarship as well for exchange students from around the world.
Aside from basic education, Heartcross has multiple activities and clubs for students to join. From basketball, to soccer and even Jai Alai, as the school encourages students to participate. Heartcross also teaches self-defense classes from Karate, Judo to even Wrestling. The school also gets visits from other schools to take on festivities or even competitions from both schools. Students are free to visit their friends from the other schools and treasure their school memories together.
Heartcross Academy also doubles as a Heroes Organization. Similar to the Heroes Coalition from Neo-City, whom they had a friendly rivalry with, they take on missions in helping other worlds with their dilemmas, students with gifted abilities are allowed to take missions as well but only local missions as they're still in training. Unlike the other Coalitions, Heartcross only accepts females as students and trainees, for reasons unknown. As a result, many males with gifted abilities had no choice but to leave Japan to train their abilities in other Coalitions, Kyoutarou Suga was an example of that, which in itself was not a bad thing however as this kept many young males felt inferior and bitter which some led them to use their abilities for crimes.
Despite that, life goes on in Mega-Tokyo.
Case in point, we focused our attention with a young girl walking in one town heading towards a house. The girl got in front of the door and began to knock, a few seconds later, the door revealing a little girl behind it.
"Oh! Yuura-chan, it's nice to see you.'' the girl greeted.

Akastuki is young girl with a brown hair tied in low pigtails and had brown eyes. She is wearing a pink shirt and blue skirt.
Later, the two are now gathered in the kitchen sitting on a table.
"I really appreciate the frequent visits, Yuura-chan and thanks for the cookies, I love it. Tell Mrs. Inoki that I said thanks.'' Akatsuki said with a smile.
Yuura shook her head, "No pleasure. It's the least we could do for you while you're sister is still gone.'' Yuura replied though muttered the last part.
"Don't worry. My sister still keeps in touch with me.'' Akatsuki said.
"Really?'' Yuura asked in surprise, "Well... how is she doing?'' she asked.
"Onee-chan is doing good, she said she was hanging out with a rowdy but good-hearted people." Akatsuki answered, "Plus, she's back in Heroes Business!" she added.
"I see, that's good." Yuura said before drinking her tea when suddenly, realization kicks in, her eyes went wide and did a spits-take before speaking, "Eh! What did you say? Xyrielle is back on Hero Business?!'' she said in shock.
Akatsuki tilts her head, "Oh? You didn't know.'' she said.
"Since when?" Yuura asked.
"Months ago. Onee-chan joined the Heroes Coalition in Neo-City and is currently a member of a team called New Age Avengers." Akatsuki replied.
"Neo-City? Weren't that place attack sometime ago.'' Yuura mentioned.
"It was. But everything is okay, Onee-chan called me after the attack and told me, she was doing fine. In fact, Onee-chan just called moments ago after she got back from their latest mission." Akatsuki replied with a smile.
Yuura stares at her in silence before standing up, "Sorry Akatsuki-chan but I need to talk to someone right now." she said before storming out of the house.
"Take care.'' Akatsuki said with a smile when her phone rang, she quickly took the call, "Hello~ Ah, Suzuka! Yeah, you're older sister was here a minute ago. She left quickly after telling her that my big sister returned to Hero Business.'' she said when she heard a thud from the other end of the line, "Ah... Suzuka?'' she called out in confusion.
bzzzttt...
Later, in a mall somewhere in Mega-Tokyo, we go inside an arcade to see a young girl playing intensely in one booth.
"hehehe... Imma 'bout to beat my high score!" she claimed while licking her lips.
Yuura then appeared next to her, "Honoka!" she called out.

Honoka had a shoulder length red hair and had heterochromia eyes, her left eye is yellow and left eye is blue. She is currently wearing black hoodie jacket, old denim skirt, folded white socks and black rubber shoes. Her most notable feature is the tiny dragon wings behind her back.
Her sudden appearance startled the girl causing her to fall down on the ground which caused her character to get killed, resulting in a game over.
"Noooo!" Honoka cried is despair, "My high score!" she called out.
"You can mourn with that later, we need to gather everyone at my house!" Yuura said.
"Eh?'' Honoka said while looking at Yuura in confusion.
bzzzttt...
Later at the Inoki residence, four more girls arrived and went their way towards Yuura's room.
"Yuura darling! What's going on?'' the first girl asked.

"Don't be like that Mina. I'm pretty sure there's a reason why Yuura called us here." the third girl reasoned.

Akaza Aru
Akaza shares the same height as Mina, Yuura and Honoka. She had a black, slightly messy hair and dark eyes. She is currently wearing a yellow sleeveless-buttoned shirt, dark-blue denim shorts, black high knee socks and white sneakers.
The last girl only tilts her head in confusion.
Musical Genius
Parabella Iwasawa
Parabella is quite tall and had a cheerful presence. She had a short bluish-white hair and brown eyes. She is currently wearing a white hoodie jacket, red jeans and black rubber shoes. She had a blue headphone covering her ears.
"Yuura darling, can you tell us what's going on?'' Sakie asked in worry.
"Yeah dudette! I'm confused myself!" Honoka said while sitting on Yuura's bed.
"Honoka... you're always confused.'' Mina stated.
Yuura who was standing in front of her desk turns to everyone, "Have you girls heard anything about Xyrielle lately?" she asked.
The girls except for Mina, we're taken a back by her question, "Umm... no... but why ask her now after all this time?" Akaza asked.
"Akatsuki-chan just told me earlier that Xyrielle now working at the Heroes Coalition in Neo-City." Yuura revealed.
The revelation shocked the girl except for Mina, "What? Are you sure about this darling?" Sakie asked.
"Before coming back here, I went went back to Akatsuki-chan and ask her for a photo of her current team that she just joined.'' Yuura replied showing them a picture of Xyrielle aka XY Girl along with the entire New Age Avengers along with it's honorary members, "This was taken after Dragon's attack in Neo-City." she noted.
"Those are... an interesting bunch." Akaza commented as Parabella let's out a whistle.
"Dude! Are those Vaas Montenegro and Needles Kane?!" Honoka pointed out.
"B-but I thought Xyrielle stopped being a hero after that incident?'' Sakie asked.
Yuura looks down, "I don't know...'' she said, "But... what I don't understand... why didn't she tell us?" she asked in confusion.
Mina then spoke, "I believe she still doesn't have the courage to speak back to us. After all, she still believes that the incident back then was her fault.'' she stated.
"Dude! It wasn't her fault! What happened back then was out of her control!" Honoka pointed out.
"We've told her that several times but she just wouldn't listen. So stubborn in the end... she even left without saying goodbye." Akaza replied, "What a coward." she muttered in spite.
"Akaza! Don't call her that! Xyrielle is still our friend!" Sakie reasoned.
"I understand that! But why can't she just talk to us! We understand what she's going through yet she stubbornly kept it to herself!" Akaza said frustration before taking a deep breath, "I miss her so much...'' she muttered sadly.
Sakie placed a hand on her shoulder, "We miss her too, Akaza.'' she said.
Yuura sighed, "I wish I could go to Neo-City right now but I don't think mom will let me.'' she said.
"Of course~" a voice was heard outside her room much to everyone's surprise.
Parabella let's out an amused whistle.
"You're mom really had great hearing.'' Honoka commented as Yuura let's out a giggle, "So... what are we going to do now?" she asked.
"I think it's best to leave things as of it is for now. We'll get our chance to talk again with Xyrielle but for now, let her do what she wants. From what I heard, the Heroes Coalition in Neo-City had a killer schedule and is a lot busier compare to us, so I believe she'll be busy most of the time." Mina explained earning a nod from everyone.
"Speaking of Neo-City. Wasn't Kyoutarou Suga got recruited there recently." Sakie mentioned.
Akaza sighed, "Yeah he did... kinda sad that he had to go, even my mom and the police department were sadden to see him go.'' she replied.
"He has been a lot helpful lately to the police department. It's just a shame that no one recognized his accomplishments." Sakie stated with Parabella whistling in agreement.
"Mom tried to ask the principal many times to have him attend Heartcross as an exception but was rejected." Akaza said.
"But it was the principal who suggested to send Suga-san in Neo-City. I think she believes that his talents will be utilized better in that city." Mina explained.
"Still sad to see him go... at least, he said goodbye." Honoka said.
"I hope everything goes well for Xyrielle and Kyou-kun." Yuura stated.
"Yuura-chan can I look at the photo again?" Mina asked as Yuura handed her the photo, "Hmm... interesting.'' she mused.
"What's interesting?'' Sakie asked.
Mina smirked, "These guy." she said pointing at Marcus, "Amongst everyone, he got my interest.'' she claimed.
"What's interesting about him? Aside from his blue hair and dead fish eyes.'' Akaza pointed out.
"Fufufu..." Mina let's out a creepy laugh.
"Dude... whenever you laugh like that, that means you want to experiment him." Honoka commented with a blank look.
Mina chuckled, "I'm not denying that." she replied.
bzzzttt...
Somewhere in Mega-Tokyo, we go to a large Police Department, inside we a young woman walking in the hallways before entering the main office.
"Chief! I brought the reports from our previous operation.'' she called.

Miyako is a tall woman with a long darkish-brown hair and light-brown eyes. She is currently wearing a purple sports coat over a white blouse with red ribbon, pink skirt, brown pantyhose and blue purple heels.
Chitose stretched her arms, "Things got a lot busier these days, I just wish Suga-kun is still here to assist us.'' she said.
Miyako sighed, "It's a shame really but we can't do anything about it. Suga-kun's true potential is limited here so working in Neo-City is the best option for him." she explained.
"Well I miss him." Chitose claimed, "Think he'll do just fine in that city?" she asked.
"With his skills, he'll do just fine.'' Miyako replied as she take a look on a paper, "Hmm..." she hummed with narrowed eyes.
Chitose noticed her superior's serious expression, "What is it Chief?'' she asked.
"There are some reports saying about a strange individual walking around in the city with a knife in hand." Miyako replied.
"Ah! I've been hearing that for quite sometime though it could just be an ordinary mugger." Chitose stated.
"Whatever it is. We need to catch this strange individual before he or she do something bad." Miyako declared.
bzzzttt...
Somewhere in a dark alley, a strange man is walking slowly while breathing heavily with a knife in hand.
"Kill... must kill... must get... satisfaction...'' he muttered.
