Meanwhile back in the Watcher's Realm, it's currently evening and the Quartet are back in their homes busy packing up their things for their new life.
In Ozzy's home, the said young man was busy putting clothes on a huge luggage when a person enters the room.
"My! That's a lot of stuff you're taking." an elderly voice said.
Ozzy turns around and recognize the person, "Grandpa!" he called in joy.

Roland Wizner
Roland is a tall elderly man with bald cut gray hair, brown skin, strong build, close shaved beard and mustache and brown eyes. He wears a white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up until the forearms under a black vest, blue jeans with a belt and brown cowboy boots.
Ozzy ran and gave his grandfather a hug whom hugs him back, "How are ya my boy? I heard that ya got been recruited by some out of this world organization." Roland stated with a smile.
"Mom and Dad told you?" Ozzy asked.
"You're parents aren't the type of person to keep as a secret from their families." Roland replied, "My boy, I can't help but say that I'm so proud of ya, now that yer going out there to save worlds." he said with a smile.
Ozzy smiled back, "Thank you Grandpa." he said.
"By the way, I had something for ya." Roland said before handing Ozzy a belt that contains revolver clips, a shoulder bag with shotgun shells, two Colt Single Army Revolver Pistols, a Winchester Pump-Action Shotgun, a lasso, a trench coat and a brown cowboy hat, "I want you to look sharp." he stated with a wink.
"Thanks Grandpa!" Ozzy replied in joy.
Ozzy was not the only one who received gifts from their families. For Joey a bullet proof vest (Parents) and what he wanted: N-Strike Modulus Regulator (from Cam), for Kylie a bullet proof vest (Parents), her Star Rod (Dad), her Cosmos Outfit (Mom) and her accessories and bag that she turned to her magic items (Lizzie) while for Suzie her gray scarf with dark red tips (Sammy), a Shirasaya Tanto and two black tactical zipper utility pouches: one containing Shurikens and one containing Smoke Bombs (Mother) and a Takahashi family heirloom, a Chokuto Sword named Yorukaze.
bzzzttt...
The next day at around before nine o' clock, the kids along with their parents gathered at the Takahashi residence with the kids luggage with Joey holding all his Nerf weapons in about a dozen plastic crates (including ammo) on a long four wheel hand cart.
The Quartet are now wearing a different clothes.

"Are you got everything you need kids?" Jimmy asked.
Joey nodded, "Don't worry dad, we got everything we need." he replied.
"Just be careful out there and don't cause any trouble to anyone." Jessie advised.
Ozzy groaned, "Yes Mom." he replied.
"And always listen to your superiors and always treat them with respect." Jason added.
Suzie nodded, "Hai!" she replied.
Suddenly a blue portal appeared and out came Louie, "Have you done packing up?" he asked as they answered with a nod, "Good! I believe it's time we left." he said.
The kids said their goodbyes with their families through hugs and kisses before entering the portal. Louie turns to their families, "Don't worry... I'll make sure that you're children are safe... even if it means sacrificing my very short life to protect them, then I will." he declared before entering the portal, much to their shock.
"Father... what do you think he mean by that?" Lizzie asked in worry.
Jimmy didn't answer her question, he just stared at the slowly vanishing portal with a worried look, not only for their children but for Louie as well.
bzzzttt...
Later the Quartet has arrived in Neo-City, more specifically in front of the Training Facility which they marveled at the sight.
"Woooaaahhhh..." they said in awe.
Louie chuckled at their reactions, "This never gets old." he said, "Children... I welcome all of you to the Heroes Coalition!" he declared.
Louie told them to enter the main entrance hall and sit on a couch while waiting for their guides. And while they wait, Joey told everyone that they should be at their best behavior if they want to make good 1st impression out of nervousness.
And about a minute later, they saw two persons approaching them and much to their surprise it's Double D and Minna whom they recognized as one of the characters of the TV shows that they watched. Kylie also can't help but admit that Double D is a lot cuter, now that he's a teen.
"Greetings newcomers. I am Eddward Marion Smith also known as Edd with two D's which is why everyone calls me Double D. I am the Coalition's Chief Operating Officer and right next to me is my girlfriend and the Coalition's Chief Brand Officer, Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke." Double D introduced themselves.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Minna replied with a bow.
"EEEEEHH! DOUBLE D OF ED, EDD N EDDY AND MINNA WILCKE OF THE STRIKE WITCHES!" they shouted out of surprised while jumping to their feet, surprising their tour guides. They were also surprised that the two are in a relationship.
And then...
Ozzy goes to Double D and puts his arm around his shoulder "Whoa ho hoo! Double. D. My man! You look different now!" he said giddily surprising and annoying Double D at the same time.
"Please... get your hands off me." the beanie-wearing executive replied with a blank look.
And then like a blur Kylie runs up to Minna and started cuddling her as she made a squeal of excitement "I DON'T BELIEVE IT! MINNA WILCKE! SHE'S SO CUTE!" she exclaimed making her blush.
"Wait! What are you doing?! Let me go!" Minna exclaimed in surprise.
And then Suzie noticed Joey about to blow and then "Hey guys, you should stop before Joey blows a fuse" she said bluntly causing Kylie and Ozzy stopped and rubbed their heads sheepishly while slightly backing away.
Joey then clears his throat and apologizes "Sorry about that, this is what happens when we meet our favorite characters but unlike these two, Suzie and I are more composed." he explained.
Double D raised an eyebrow before shrugging, "Well at least two of you know the term "personal space"." he stated, "Anyway... can we get your names?" he asked.
Joey immediately turns nervous again and a bit excited before speaking, "Sir, I am Commander Joey Hollard sir and these are my cohorts!" he said before turning to his sister, "This my twin sister Corporal Kylie Hollard." he started.
"Hi!" Kylie greeted while waving and showing a cheerful smile.
"Our friends Sergeant Oswald Wizner.'' Joey continued.
"Hey there, you can call me Ozzy.'' Ozzy greeted with a grin.
"And Lieutenant Suzuka Takahashi." Joey finished.
"A pleasure to meet you, you can call me by my nickname Suzie" Suzie greeted with a bow and a soft smile.
Double D and Minna raised their eyebrows and Kylie clapped her hands in apology, "Sorry about that but my brother can get nervous or excited sometimes when he's around Military officers like you Minna and he tends to introduce us by the military ranks he gave us." she told them.
"What do you mean by military ranks?'' Minna asked in confusion.
"We'll tell you later.'' they sans Joey replied.
Double D shrugged in response before speaking, "Anyway... before we start this tour. Let me remind you that your world is a highly kept secret that only the Supreme Gods and the staffs knows. I suggest that you four would refrain from talking about your world, if someone ask where you come from give them a different answer. We need to keep the existence of you're world in secret as much as possible. Understood?'' he stated which they replied with a nod, "Good." he said with a smile, "Shall we start this tour?'' he suggested.
bzzzttt...
Later Minna and Double D brought the Quartet at the cafeteria.
"This is facility's cafeteria but I think the four of you know the purpose of this place.'' Minna stated.
"I'll say... but I never seen a cafeteria this big!" Ozzy exclaimed.
Kylie then looks around and noticed four people that she don't recognized in one table, "Uhm... who are those guys?'' she asked pointing on one table.
Double then turns to the direction she's pointing, "Oh! Those are your fellow trainees.'' he replied, "Those are Buckles Murphy, Gillian Norman or Gill, Akatora Tsujimiya and The Creepy Guy.'' he named them one by one.
"Creepy Guy?'' Joey repeated.
Minna sighed, "You'll see.'' she replied as they approached them.
Buckles then noticed, "Hey! Double D and Minna!" he greeted, "Who are these four? New recruits.'' he pointed.
Double D nodded before introducing the Quartet to the other Quartet, the other Quartet then introduced themselves to the Quartet.
"Nyahaha! I hope ya all enjoy your time here!" Akatora said with a grin.
Rookie Trainee
Akatora Tsujimiya
Akatora is a young man with above average height and red spiky hair. He had blue eyes hidden behind his dark visor and golden piercing in his mouth, he is currently wearing a red & blue open Hawaiian shirt exposing his chest and abs, dark jogging pants and slippers.
"Keh-keh-keh! It's-a-nice meeting all-of-you.'' the Creepy Guy said also with a grin.
Rookie Trainee
The Creepy Guy
The Creepy guy, like his namesake had a creepy appearance, he had a pale skin tone, a messy silver hair but the most disturbing part about his face is his eyes are covered with black tapes in a cross shape and his mouth is stitched with white strings but can still open his mouth. He is currently wearing a black high-collar jacket over a cheetah printed shirt, black pants and blue rubber shoes.
Joey was not bother by his face but the same thing can't be said for Suzie whom is somewhat disturb by his appearance, Kylie just tilts her head and Ozzy was slightly unnerved.
"Ugh... dude... what's up with your face?'' Ozzy asked.
"Hmm... why is-a-there something-a-wrong with-my-face?'' the Creepy Guy asked.
"Yeah! Big time! What's up with those tapes in your eyes and that mouth of yours!"Ozzy pointed out indecorously.
"Hmm... what-are-you talking about?'' the Creepy Guy replied, "There-is-nothing wrong with-my-face.'' he said.
"Seriously? Can you believe this guy?'' Ozzy asked turning to everyone only to see Double D and Minna with their arms in a cross shaped with the former mouthing 'drop it', he then turns to Creepy Guy's companions whom all had their arms in a cross with Buckles mouthing 'drop it'. Despite his confusion, Ozzy did what he was told, "You know what forget it.'' he said making Creepy Guy grin for some reason.
"B-B-But g-g-guys a-a-a-are y-y-y-you s-s-sure that t-they a-a-are r-r-really n-new r-r-r-recruits? W-What i-i-if they're a-a-a-actually s-s-spies s-sent b-by the D-D-Dark F-Forces?!" Gillian exclaimed in panic.
"Nothing to worry Gill, Louie recruited them himself.'' Double D replied before turning to the Quartet, "I apologize about that, Gill is nervous-wreck and a bit a conspiracy theorist, so don't be surprised if he says something weird.'' he explained.
"It's fine. No harm done." Joey replied though he is wondering why Gill thinks they're spies.
"Keh-keh-keh! But who-a-knows, maybe one-a-day, one-a-of Gill's theories might-a-be proven-a-right! Like that-a-theory he had-a-once that their-a-might be an agent-from-another organization attending this-a-facility!" the Creepy Guy exclaimed in excitement.
"Nyahaha! I couldn't agree more! Maybe that agent is amongst the people sitting in this table!" Akatora said in agreement.
Buckles deadpanned, "Where did you get with that conclusion?!" he asked indecorously.
Kylie giggled at the guy's antics while Minna turns to them, "Well... shall we continue our tour somewhere else?'' she suggested.
Joey nodded, "Well appreciated maam!" he replied.
bzzzttt...
Later Minna and Doube D along with the Quartet are now making their way towards the training area.
"Aside from the cafeteria and the fields outside, the training area is where most trainees would gather around at this times." Double D explained.
"Are we going to meet everyone?'' Kylie asked in excitement.
"Unfortunately not, several Solo Heroes are currently in missions, some trainees and heroes went home for personal reasons. The recently formed 5th team is also currently in a mission, so you won't be able to meet everyone today.'' Minna stated.
"Well that's a bummer.'' Ozzy said placing his hands at the back of his head.
"But I understand. From what Louie told us, the organization just gotten a lot busier as of lately." Joey stated.
"How do you guys greet newcomers?" Suzie asked.
"Depends on the occasion but we always greeted them with a warm welcome.'' Double D replied before opening the gym's entrance door.
The moment they enter, they quickly froze in place when they saw everyone staring at them.
"Uhm... peace be with you.'' Joey said.
