Awkward silence... it's what the Quartet is experiencing as of the moment as everyone stares at them.

And then...

"WELCOME TO HELL!" everyone shouted before cheering much to the Quartet's surprise.

"What? What's going on?'' Ozzy asked in confusion while Double D and Minna chuckles.

Buckles, Gill, Akatora and the Creepy Guy walks past them, "This is how everyone welcome the new recruits, so expect them to do this again with the next batch of new recruits.'' Buckles explained as they went to the bleachers.

After that, Double D introduces the Quartet to everyone including the members of the New Age Avengers, the Rising Stars, the Cross Guards and the Dream Express, a few solo heroes and the other trainees. And for the Quartet, meeting this many people which includes some of their favorite characters excites them... though one of them can't hold herself anymore.

And like a blur, Kylie pulls one of them in a hug... and that one is none other than Himawari, "Kyaaaa! She's so cute!" she squealed rubbing her face to Himawari much to her shock and annoyance.

"Kora! What the hell are you doing?! Let go of her!" Wakaba demanded. Fortunately, Kylie let's go if Himawari and unfortunately, she hugs her next, "What the?! Let go of me!" she demanded.

"Oh great... a cuddlebug... just what we need...'' XY Girl grumbled in annoyance before her eyes widen, "Uh-oh! Yoshika, you better run!" she exclaimed.

Yoshika turns to her, "What do you mean?'' she asked but before XY could answer, Kylie grabs the Fuso witch in a hug.

"Kyaaaa! She's so cute!" Kylie exclaimed in excitement.

"That's why.'' XY replied.

Joey's eye then twitches at his sister's behavior as Raya approaches them and began to eye them from head to toe, "Hmm... you guys had a nice sense of fashion, I like you.'' she said with a grin.

Ozzy stares at her before letting out a chuckle, "Pfff... hehehe... man, you're the smallest little girl I ever met! Ahahahahaha!" he said as he burst into laughter.

Unbeknownst to him, he just crossed a very, VERY sensitive line, "Little? I'll have you know I'm 20 years old! I dare ya make fun of my height again!" she snapped.

"20 years old?! Yet your still a squirt! Ahahahaha!" Ozzy laughs out even louder which totally infuriates the fashionista.

As Raya argues with Ozzy, meanwhile Suzie was staring at Eustace, the grumpy noticed her staring at him.

"What are you looking at, stupid girl?'' Eustace asked in annoyance.

Suzie sends him a cold glare, "Nothing... what are you looking at baldy?!" she asked in a cold tone.

This made the grumpy old man flinched in fear before hiding behind Lunette, "Nothing!" he cried shivering in fright.

"Uhm... could you please don't act rude with him.'' Lunette said with a blank look.

"He started it.'' Suzie replied with a stoic look.

Kylie then continues to cuddle more people such as Sakura, Laura, Nora and heck even, Nyaruto.

"Help - nya! Get this crazy girl off me - nya!" Nyaruto cried in help as Kylie rubs her face on his cheeks.

"We would love to but I'm afraid that she might hugs us next.'' Venoct replied whom is on top of the bleachers along with Toadal Dude and SpongeBob.

Double D and Minna could only watch the new recruits antics in amazement and in worry.

"Well... that escalated quickly." Double D said, "Though I already expected them to have some sort of unique traits... pretty much like everyone here." he stated.

"How about Joey?'' Minna asked.

Double D looks at Joey whom seems about to explode, "Well... I think were about to see it.'' he replied.

And with that, Joey suddenly pulls out a whistle and blows it hard getting everyone's attention, "ATTEEEEEEEENNNN-HUUUT!" he yelled and immediately his friends and sister line up and he paces back and forth like a drill sergeant with his military camo hat on his head.

"Huh? That's a unique bgm.'' Luna commented.

"It's our 1st day in this coalition and this is what happens?" Joey started, "I'M DISAPPOINTED!" he shouted making this sister and friends flinch, the rest were surprised by his shouting but didn't made them flinch, they're already used with the Major's shouting. Then he looks at his gang "CORPORAL HOLLARD!" he called.

"Eep!" Kylie squeaked.

"CONTROL THAT HABIT OF YOURS!" Joey shouted.

"Yes sir!" Kylie said nervously.

"SERGEANT WIZNER!" Joey shouted next.

"Gulp!" Ozzy swallowed.

"RESPECT YOUR SENIORS EVEN IF YOUR TALLER THAN THEM!" Joey shouted.

"Yes sir!" Ozzy replied firmly but nervously.

"LIEUTENANT TAKAHASHI!" Joey started looking at the stoic emo girl with a strict face then to the trembling Eustace still hiding behind Lunette then back to Suzie, "Respect your elders even if they're rude but I'll let this slide for once" he said calmly but firmly.

"Yes sir" Suzie said calmly.

Before Joey started pacing again,"We are newly recruited Blessed in this Heroes Coalition and if we all want to make a good first impression towards the other trainees..." he said before stopping and facing his friends, "All of us must behave in a good manner UNDERSTOOD?!" he asked loudly.

"SIR! YES SIR!" the trio responded firmly.

Gertrude was impressed, "Nice... I like his way of disciplining his comrades. Might as well try that on Hartmann once I visit home." she stated.

"I doubt that'll work.'' Andres quipped.

"Stupid nerd calling me a squirt... who does he think he is.'' Raya snarked.

Joey heard that and turns his attention to her with his angry militant face and he slowly walked towards her until he was towering above her,"DON'T YOU MAKE ANY SNARKY REMARKS ON MY TEAMMATES SOLDIER! UNDERSTAND!" he shouted.

Raya was not at all intimidated by his presence, she let's out an angry scoff before walking away, "I'll be in the dorms!" she said.

Everyone watches her go as Sylvia turns to Joey, "I'm sorry about that, Raya is very very sensitive about her height and she really doesn't take it well when someone makes fun of her height.'' she reasoned.

"I see... in behalf of Ozzy, WHOM made fun about her height, I sincerely apologize.'' Joey said before sending a glare at Ozzy whom flinch in response.

"It's fine... but it'll be a long time before Raya could forgive your friend.'' Sylvia replied.

Suzie then turns to Ozzy, "Nice job Oz.'' she said sarcastically making him slump.

"Anyway...'' Adam started breaking the mood, "You said that you guys are Blesseds, so I'm kinda curious about your Gifts." he stated.

"Well... Private Adam." Joey started, "My Gift is known as Nerf Weaponization and Enhancement, I can make any toy weapon work like any other weapon and I can add special properties to it." he explained.

"My Gift is called Magic Sparkle, I can use magic by putting my thoughts to my imagination and they'd always emit sparkles whenever I cast a spell, charm, and many more." Kylie said excitedly.

"My Gift is called Solar Light, I can create and control flames and I can also engulf my whole body in flames without damaging my clothes or equipment and I can also enhance my weapons with my fire." Ozzy said with a grin.

"My Gift is called Phantom Ninja Arts, I can phase through walls, turn intangible and invisible like a ghost and I can command the spirits of the elements and turn them into ninja techniques." Suzie answered.

Their Gifts impressed everyone with Adam the most impressed, "Cool!" he said before turning to Double D, "Hey Double D! I want them as honorary member of my team!" he exclaimed.

Andres smacks the back of Adam's head, "There you go again! They just arrived and not an minute later, you want them in our team!" he said.

"Come on! I just want to extend the memberships of our team." Adam argued, "Look at the New Age Avengers! They had tons of honorary members!" he reasoned.

"Still not right to demand them to join us just like that! They barely knows us you know!" Gertrude stated.

"She's right.'' Double D said, "And by the looks of it, I think this four are fitted to be in a team of their own.'' he said.

"Really?'' Kylie asked.

Minna nodded, "Definitely and I can tell that Joey is cut to be a leader of the team." he said.

"He has the charisma and his military persona screams leader material.'' Darren said, "By the way, what's up with that? One minute you're a nice guy then the next, he turns into some sort of drill sergeant!" he stated, "How did that happen?'' he asked.

Joey suddenly got embarrassed, "Uh, sorry about that!" he apologized, "You see, I can be militant sometimes and I get so caught up in the moment that I couldn't stop!" he explained making everyone sweatdrop in response.

"Joey & his twin sister Kylie are children of a military Lieutenant officer who's their father & a police Lieutentant who's their mother and they have two older siblings, their older brother who's a militart corporal & an older sister who's a police officer and among all of them, only Joey can turn militant" Suzie explained.

"Oooohh!" everyone said with an impressed face.

"That explains his military persona, it runs in the family.'' Flash stated.

"Well... I find that amazing darling~" Precious said with a grin before giving Joey a wink, making him shiver slightly.

Before anyone could speak, Vaas, Needles, Geraldo, Miss Fortune and Mumbo enters the training area.

"Hey sweethearts! What's up with the gathering?'' Needles asked.

The moment the Quartet saw them, they were shock and by instinct they got into a fighting stance.

"NGEK! HOLY! MAMA!" Joey exclaimed while pointing his Disruptor at Needles Kane as it glows blue.

"AAAH! NEEDLES!" Kylie shrieked pointing her Star Rod at Needles.

"WHAT IN TARNATION! VAAS MONTENEGRO AND MUMBO JUMBO!" Ozzy yelled pointing his two Colt Revolvers at Vaas and Mumbo respectively.

"Miss Fortune." Suzie said darkly while unsheathing Yorukaze and pointing it at Miss Fortune.

The Insanity group along with Mumbo stares at them with a raised eyebrow, "Let me guess... new recruits and they think we're the enemies." Vaas replied bluntly.

"To sum it all up... yeah." Rex replied before turning to the four, "Okay... put down your weapons, they're with us.'' he reassured.

"But sir! Aren't they criminals?!" Joey argued.

"Formerly yes... currently no.'' Double D replied, "The five of them are members of the Coalition and yes, we are aware with that they're former criminals. Vaas here has an amnesia but he is aware of his past life, Geraldo and Mumbo joined so they can become a better person, Miss Fortune despite being a thief is hardly a bad person and Needles... he's Needles.'' he explained.

"Why thank you cupcake.'' Needles said.

The Quartet then lowered their weapons, "We apologized about that.'' Joey said.

"It's fine. You're not the first and definitely not the last to act hostile at us.'' Miss Fortune replied with her arms crossed.

Minna then turns to the four, "I had the feeling that the four of you are feeling uneasy with them. But rest assure that their different than you thought they were before, so please try to get along with them.'' she stated with a smile.

"Okay... we'll try." Kylie replied.

Then Mario enters the training area, "Oya, Oya... it seems that everyone is have such a lively gathering.'' he said with a smile.

"Ah! Hello, Mister President.'' Double D greeted, "Minna and I are just introducing the new recruits to everyone.'' he replied.

Mario then turns to the Quartet, "Ah! I see... you're the new recruits that Louie is talking about. I welcome the four of you in the Coalition, I hope you enjoy your time here along with everyone.'' he greeted with a fatherly smile.

"It's a pleasure sir." Joey replied with a smile.

Mario then claps his hands, "Saa! How about I cook all of you a fine meal in commemoration." he suggested much to everyone's delight.

Kylie's eyes then twinkled when he mentioned the word 'cook', "Cook! Can I join you in cooking?! I want to cook something for everyone!" she offered.

"Oya!" Mario smiled in interest, "I can see the passion and your love for cooking young lady. Well then, please follow me in the kitchen.'' he said.

bzzzttt...

Later that day, everyone are gathered around the cafeteria eating the food that both Mario and Kylie served.

Mario then ate the food Kylie cooked, "Mmm~ This is marvelous!" he said with a smile, "May I ask what this is?" he asked taking another spoon.

"Adobo!" Kylie chirped happily.

"Adobo?" Mario repeated.

"Yep!" Kylie said.

"It's either pork or chicken mixed in vineger and soy sauce and some potatoes. It's a specialty of our mom's." Joey said.

"And not to mention, native to her home country the Philippines and the very 1st dish I ever successfully made when I first started learning how to cook." Kylie explained.

"Not to mention, this is a combination of pork and chicken and she used marble potatoes." Joey added.

"You should try Kylie's cooking, it's very delicious like BOOM!" Ozzy cheered.

"Yeah, it's very good." Suzie said while having a spoonful.

"I got to admit... it taste really good." XY admitted.

"Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom!" Ed said as he chew his food.

"Aak! Ed! I told you to chew your food properly!" Ichigo scolded.

"So you're mom is from the Philippines." Rex pointed out, "Isn't that Henry's home country as well?'' he asked the person right next to him.

"Ah! I believe that he lives somewhere in Nueva Ecija.'' Herald replied.

"Henry?" Ozzy asked in interest.

"Henry Cruz aka Alyas Pogi or Alias Handsome is a Veteran Solo Hero who lives in the Philippines. He's currently on a mission right now.'' Rex answered.

Joey and Kylie looks at each other in surprise. Believe it or not, they heard a Filipino movie trilogy called Alyas Pogi which their mom used to watch in her younger days. They already expected their favorite anime, cartoon and video game characters to exist here but it never crossed their mind that live fictional characters would also exist here.

Kylie's phone made an alarm right after she finished eating, "Oh! Dessert's ready!" she cheered as she ran like a blur to the kitchen room and after a few minutes, she brought a a very long trolley with plates of moist chewy chocolate Crinkles, "There's plenty for everyone, so don't be shy!" she offered cheerfully.

"Chocolate Crinkles? Don't mind if I do!" Jake said before taking a bite, "Mmm... yummy.'' he said.

Darren then took a bite, "Sooo good! The others are sure missing things out!" he stated.

"By the way, the New Age Avengers are here but where is your leader?'' Ozzy asked.

"He went home along with his sister and adopted brother due to personal reasons, they'll be back in a couple of the days." Ichigo replied.

"In the meantime, I'll be taking lead of his team.'' Adam claimed much to his teammates' surprise.

Randy did a spitstake, "What do you mean you're taking lead of this team?'' he asked indecorously, "If I remember correctly, Marcus left me in charge!" he argued.

"Come on! You guys need a leader right? I can take that role while your leader is gone.'' Adam reasoned.

"Dude! I was appointed as the second-in-command! Meaning that I take the leadership position if the leader is absent or in leave!" Randy stated, "Don't tell me, you forgot about that?!" he said indecorously.

Adam was about to say something but Andres pulls his collar, "Okay! That's enough... you already had a team to lead Adam just focus on that.'' he said while taking a bite of a crinkle.

Double D then turns to Joey, "Mister Hollard, tomorrow morning the four of you will start yout training here, I hope you're ready for the intense training our coaches had in stall.'' he stated.

Joey smirked, "Don't worry... we can definitely take on any training you had for us!" he declared.

Double D smiled, "I look forward for that." he replied.
