Just a heads-up, this takes between Episodes 3 & 4

The honking of a horn alerted the Sakurada Family as they were having breakfast. Shuu used his Royal Power, [Transporter], in order to get to the front door quicker and opened the door to see a large van with a red bomb symbol painted on the side. Soon, the door opened and a big burly man with a shaved head, grey stubble, and a red t-shirt covered by a vest and bandolier of actual bullets walked in.

"Are you part of the Sakurada Household?" The man asked in a firm Russian Accent.

"Uh, yes?"

"May we meet Soichiro Sakurada. We are here on business."

Shuu headed back into the dining room to alert his dad. "Dad, these guys are asking for you."

Soichiro headed out to meet the man at the front door and smiled as he recognized the red coloration of his shirt.

"Oh, you must be the new bodyguards I hired. It's nice to meet you."

The man smiled as he offered his giant hand, which Soichiro gladly shook. Soon, eight other men stepped out of the van and walked up together. A stout man in a red shirt with rolled-up sleeves, brown overalls, and a yellow hard hat and goggles smiled as he offered his gloved hand next.

"Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Sakurada. We're really glad to be working with ya!" As Soichiro shook the man's hand, he felt a strong metal grip underneath.

"Well, I guess it's fair if I introduce you to my family?"

The nine men entered the house as the rest of the Sakurada family came in to see them. Akane whimpered as she hid behind Aoi, already feeling intimidated by the nine mercenaries.

"Nice place you got here. Not what I expected from royalty." A young man who looked only a year or so older than Aoi spoke in a Boston Accent. He wore a red t-shirt, dog tags around his neck, baggy running pants with the legs rolled up to show his baseball socks and running shoes. He had clean white bandages wrapped around his lanky, but firm arms.

"Well, I try to have my family living as normal a life as possible. We don't want anybody stereotyping us for being royalty, after all." Soichiro chuckled.

"That's a mighty fine thing of you to do, looking out for your family like that. It must be pretty unique being royalty, huh?" The hard-hatted man said. The Sakurada Kids didn't know why, but he had an almost fatherly vibe of his own to him.

"So, why not we let you gentlemen introduce yourselves. It works to be acquainted after all." Satsuki said with a smile as a tall man dressed in a fine-pressed red suit and wore a red balaclava over his face with holes for his eyes and mouth stepped in with a bow.

"I am Jacques Baxon, you can simply call me 'The Spy'."

Next was the youngest of the group as he smirked at Kanade, Akane, and Aoi and flexed his muscles. "Name's Jeremy Dashiell, call me 'The Scout'. The ladies love me."

The hard-hatted man gave a friendly smile. "I'm Dell Conagher, but call me 'The Engineer', that's 'cause I solve problems."

A muffled squeal was heard as everyone turned to see a man dressed in an asbestos suit and gas mask squatting down to little Shiori, offering her a bright red lollipop in the shape of a ball of fire. The youngest Sakurada took it and put it in her mouth happily as her head was pet by the man.

"That over there is Pyro. He may seem scary, but he's a big softie once you get to know him." Dell explained with a smile, assuring the family that Pyro meant no harm to Shiori.

"Sergeant Major Jane Doe, at your service! Codename: Soldier!" Barked a muscular man dressed in red military fatigues and a brown helmet covering his eyes as he gave a salute and clicked his heels.

"Guten tag, I am Dr. Ludvig Brautenkien. I am ze Medic of the team." A man in glasses and a lab coat introduced with a crisp German Accent and a polite bow.

"Name's Mundy Mun-dee, mates. Just call me 'The Sniper'." A man who looked to be in his early 30's spoke in an Australian Accent with a tip of his bush hat and a friendly smile.

"Ay, the name's Tavish DeGroot! Always heard that Japan's got fine drinks but nuttin' beats Scrumpy!" A dark-skinned man with a bomber cap and blast vest declared in a thick Scottish Accent while taking a lazy swig from a huge bottle of alcohol.

Finally, it was the big man's turn to introduce himself. "I am Heavy Weapons Guy, and this...is my weapon."

Heavy pulled out a huge minigun from out of nowhere, brandishing it for all to see. Teru couldn't help but be drawn to the magnificent weapon as Satsuki had to pull him back for his safety. Haruka stared at the mighty gun and then his Royal Power, [Lots of Next] began playing out as he muttered to himself before his eyes shot open.

"That gun must weigh 150 kilograms and, judging by barrel size, fires at 10,000 rounds per minute."

Heavy smiled at the purple-haired boy. "Yes. It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon...for TWELVE. SECONDS."

"THAT'S IT! THAT'S WHERE ALL THE BLOOMING MONEY GOES! NO WONDER WE NEVER GET OUT OF MANN CO. MORE OFTEN!" Demoman barked as he raised his bottle to strike Heavy on the head only to completely fall on his face and groan.

"Impressive calculations, boy. How were you able to do that?" Spy asked, genuinely impressed by Haruka's power.

"Well, all of us have a Royal Power inherited from our daddy's genes! Should we introduce ourselves now, mommy?" Hikari asked as Satsuki nodded before Aoi stepped in first.

"My name is Aoi Sakurada, I'm the oldest child of the family. My Royal Power is [Invisible Work]. I can remember just about everything after knowing about it once."

"Like a photographic memory, almost..." Medic mused

Kanade folded her arms with a smirk. "I'm Kanade Sakurada, my Royal Power is [Heaven's Gate]. I can pretty much create whatever I want but it gets deducted from my bank account as a result."

Shuu cleared his throat as he stepped in next. "I'm Shuu Sakurada. My Royal Power is [Transporter]. I can basically teleport anywhere I want as long as I remember where it is."

"Well, guess we got somebody who's like a human Teleporter!" Chuckled Engineer, the settlement shared by Medic and Sniper as they had a good-natured laugh as well.

"U-Um..." Akane whimpered as she peeked from behind Aoi. "I-I'm Akane Sakurada, my Royal Power is [Gravity Core]. I can basically alter the gravity of myself and whoever I'm touching."

"OOH! You must let me run TESTS!" Medic excitedly said before being slapped by Sniper for his rudeness, causing him to fix his glasses and give the redhead an apologetic glance.

"I'm Haruka Sakurada and you already saw my Royal Power, [Lots of Next]. I can basically make perfect calculations on any subject."

"I'm Misaki Sakurada and my Quirk is [All for One]. I can basically summon seven different clones of myself!" With a wave of her hand and a flash of pink light, seven clones of the pink-haired girl with different hairstyles and eye colors appeared.

"Meet Bell, Bubu, Inari, Levi, Raio, Shaura, and Yuniko!"

"Are we really only gonna be summoned this chapter for a short, crappy introduction?" Yuniko barked in an angry tone.

"Pudding..." Bubu muttered in a lazy tone.

"As for me, I'm the dazzling Hikari Sakurada! My Royal Power is [God Hand] and I can increase or reverse the growth of any living thing I touch, including myself!"

"I'm Teru Sakurada, the one destined to become the champion of the people! My Royal Power is [Limit Over] and I can increase my strength at will!" The second-youngest child boisterously announced as Scout chuckled, squatting down and ruffling his orange hair.

"I like you, little man. Maybe I can teach you how to smack a baseball with the best of 'em."

As Teru whined in protest, Shiroi stepped up forward, having finished the lollipop Pyro gave her. "I'm Shiroi Sakurada. My Royal Power is [Soulmate] and it lets me talk with both living creatures and non-living things."

"Does that include Sasha?" Heavy asked as Shiori nodded before being surrounded in a purple glow and looked at the Russian Giant's gun.

"She says she has been living with you for 30 years now and she's always trusted you to hold her when fighting enemies."

Heavy smiled as he hugged his gun close. "You as well, Sasha."

Everyone then looked to see Pyro playing with a cat, who was batting at a cat toy he had procured from somewhere.

"Oh, and that's our cat, Borscht. Hikari found him in a tree one day and she decided to keep him."

"Pyro has always loved little critters. Guess he got the gold mine here." Dell said with a smile. Soichiro nodded before addressing the nine mercenaries.

"Alright, I've given you living arrangements in a special apartment complex built to suit your needs. You will also be close by in case something comes up at home that needs your attention. I would like you nine to take good care of my kids but also respect their boundaries, got it?"

The nine men nodded as Akane shyly backed away. It was bad enough with the security cameras but now with nine highly-trained mercenaries watching her every move? She felt more embarrassed than ever!

"I hope we can get along, Mr. Sakurada. After all, our little group is like a family, almost. We've been sticking with each other for years now." Dell said as he shook Soichiro's hand one final time while Spy gave a gentlemanly kiss to the back of Satsuki's hand. Scout was trying to give Kanade his number only to be chopped on the head by Shuu. Pyro was happily holding Shiori's hands as she smiled at him, it seemed bonds had already started forming between the Royal Family and the Nine Mercenaries of Mann Co.
