At the Astro Tech and Research Co. building
XX/XX/20XX
Tsuno is listening to Bicycle Race by Queen while looking for a specific star.
Someone came from behind Tsuno and taps on his shoulder. Tsuno turns to see that it's Sakusei is standing behind him with a note in his hand.
"Hey Tsuno, this letter is for you and was send anonymously."
"I wonder what it is and who send it."
"Well, I guess we'll have to look here."
The note reads:
[Hello Tsuno, you broke my heart while you have all of those girls over at your house. I wish they could just disappear. I know, I'll turn them into cats. Everyone hates cats and you'll have to get rid of them. Then we can be together forever! I would like to have 4 babies with you, can't wait!
Your lover]
Tsuno looks at the letter shocked and stupefied. Then Tsuno realised something.
"I need to go home, now!"
Tsuno then rushes out of the building, gets on his bike and drives off.
Back at the office building, Sakusei is standing near the telescope looking on at the direction Tsuno ran of to.
"Honestly, I wanted to ask him what is going on and before I could even say a word he leaves. This is getting more and more frequent, right Boss?"
Sakusei turns around and sees a man with brown hair, yellow highlights, one orange eye and one yellow eye standing behind him in a lab coat with a black shirt that has a fire logo on it.
"Yes Sakusei, but it's fine. If it's matters he feels are important, he can leave work at anytime. And one thing, you don't need to call me Boss. You can call me...Kenkyūsha-san."
"Okay, Kenkyūsha-san."
At Tsuno's house
Tsuno gets off his bike and quickly opens the door, but he doesn't see anything. Suddenly-
Meow*
Meow*
Meow*
'Three separate meows and they all sound different. It sounds like they're coming from the kitchen.'
Tsuno walks cautiously to the kitchen. He looks at the table and sees 3 cats, one Crimson Red with white paws and white on the tip of the tail, one Pink with white paws, and the last one is Caramel with Rosè paws and a black circle around its left eye. The three cats turn and looks at Tsuno. Suddenly they run over to Tsuno and climb on him.
The Crimson one then speaks,"Tsuno, it's us!"
Then the pink one talks,"Yeah Darling. Don't say you spent remember us."
"Tsuno, there is no way you already forgot my voice." The Caramel one says with a bit of sadness.
"Of course I didn't forget any of you, Rias, Maia, Zero Two.-" He turns his head to each of them.
"-But who done this?"
Rias spoke for the three of them,"Tsuno-"Tsuno turns and faces cat Rias."-It was a witch that came into the house."
Tsuno was a bit shocked a this information. "How, there's no way a supernatural being can pass through my barrier that's around my house...Even a mid-rank God like Zeus can't pass the barrier...-" Rias, Maia and Zero Two are shocked at what Tsuno said. "-...! I've got it! Most witches aren't fully supernatural.-" The girls look at him like he talked a different language. "-First let me explain why you girls can come through. First, you girls are my girlfriends, so it will make sense for you girls to enter and exit the house freely...that is one reason why people can enter the house. Another is if they get my permission and the witch didn't qualify for the two, so that just leaves the last reason...which is...the witch isn't fully supernatural.-" Rias seemed to get it, but Zero Two and Maia didn't. "-Lots of witches aren't fully supernatural, meaning they were human and turned into witches by practicing witchcraft or getting forcefully turned into one, but they still aren't full witches. Like me I'm not fully a devil, but also I am, so if I were just a half devil I could enter this house with no problem." Maia and Zero Two understood it much better.
Rias looks at Tsuno with a serious look,"Tsuno. I almost forgot to say.-" Tsuno faces Rias."-That witch left a note, we tried to read it, but it's just scrambled letters."
"Scrambled letters.-" Tsuno walks to the letter. He grabs it and looks at the letter.

"-...This is Base64.-" Tsuno turns to Maia, who's trying to hide herself behind Rias. "-How didn't you know this, we spend almost a year learning Base64 together!"
"I can't help it if I forget!"
"Anyway, this letter says 'Hello Tsuno
I'm the one who send you the first letter. Don't worry, I don't love you I just tried to get your attention, so that you can read this. But I did turn your girlfriends into cats. If you want to turn them back, meet me at Big Ben in London. See you soon.
Sera.'-"
Tsuno throws the letter up and it burns.
"-Well, let's go to London."
The girls seem happy and Zero Two jumps for joy,"Yay! I've always wanted to go to London."
"It's a boring place. Trust me, I've been there a lot of times."
Zero Two turns to the source of who said such a statement and it was Maia. "Maia how can you say that?!"
"I've been there a lot of times and all there is to see it Big Ben and that's it."
"What do you mean! There is-"
Tsuno steps in and intervenes. "Okay, let's just go to London to turn the three of you back to normal."
Rias, Maia and Zero Two get closer and then all four of them disappears.
London, Big Ben
•19:35 JPT•
A guy, with Crimson Red hair appears on Big Ben and has 3 cats on him.
One of the cats talks to the Crimson Red haired guy. "Tsuno, I don't see the witch."
Tsuno then turns his head around,"But I can sense her.-" He then looks at the top of Big Ben. "-She's there." As he says it, he points to the top of Big Ben.
The cats turn and looks at the top of Big Ben.
The witch jumps down to Tsuno, cat Rias, cat Zero Two and cat Maia."I see you came after all, but WHY ARE YOU SO EARLY!"
"Don't you know that England is 9 hours behind Japan."
"Anyway, I assume you came here to fix your girlfriends. Well, that was just an example of what I can do. I could have made them uglier, but that wouldn't be any fun."
"Well, all I have to say is don't mess with my girls or you will feel my wrath. Sera"
"Yea Yea~ Now I'll turn them back. Oh and Tsuno...There will be someone that comes to you and you better be ready face off against her."
"Don't worry, me and my friend will be ready."
Then three purple spheres appear on Sera's hands. They head for the girls and they move inside them. Suddenly the girls turn back into humans with their powers. Tsuno then instantly created a portal, grabbed Rias, Maia and Zero Two then they left.
"Hmph, leave without even saying thank you, well I guess he doesn't like me for the fact that I messed with his girlfriends. He will have to get over it soon, because soon we will have to work together to defeat the Boss and his son. Maia must be ready to also face her fear."Suddenly a note flies down. Sera opens her hands and it lands gracefully. It opens itself and reveals a message. The message reads:
'Sera
Don't mess with my girls...and I can't wait until we team up, but until then I see you as an enemy, so be prepared for my power if it comes to that.
Tsuno'
Then the note burns up in thin air and Sera smiles."Seems like he got over it and it was fast.Tehe." Then she disappears to some other country.
Back at Tsuno's house
Tsuno comes out of the portal with Rias, Maia and Zero Two in hand. Immediately after all of them step out, Tsuno closes the portal. Tsuno relaxes on the couch.
"I don't want any of you girls to go near her, unless it is live or death and she isn't the on that caused the live or death situation." The girls are looking at him as if he said something he would never say. Rias setps forward,"But Tsuno, why, she isn't a threat to us and besides her power is we-"
At the mention of power Tsuno stood up and rushed to Rias."She is not weak, she has power that - If used correctly - can rival me at 68% power."
Rias, Maia and Zero Two looks at Tsuno shocked at what they heard. Tsuno - (for Rias) the man that fought for her, (for Zero Two) the man she fought with, (for Maia) the man that has been there even if they never talked - was saying someone that just done a trick is almost 70% as strong as him. 'There is no way' all of them were thinking.
Tsuno sat back down on the couch he was sitting on and began to sigh. "I think I should just go to sleep." So, Tsuno goes up to the bedroom and falls asleep.
Back with the girls
Rias, Maia and Zero Two sit down on the same couch. The room is filled with silence in the air.
Rias wanted to ask something, but Zero Two beat her to the question. "Do you think we should go up to him and comfort him."
Rias answers the question she wanted to answer,"No, I think we should give him some space to think...Anyway, I'm gonna go train. Do you want to come with me."
Zero Two and Maia both nodded their head. They stood up and went to the training room.
•3 Hours later•
In the bedroom
Tsuno is moving wildly in the bed and is sweating profusely.
In Tsuno's mind
Tsuno sees flashes of people in suits and dresses, sitting inside a church and it looks like a wedding. The next flash is of a God of thunder attacking people in a city. The final flash is of a man touching a red crystal and all Tsuno can hear is laughter. The laughter then stopped and was replaced with someone calling his name. He ran to the voice and-
In Tsuno's bedroom
Tsuno woke up to see that it was Rias that was calling him.
Rias came closer and hugs Tsuno,"Tsuno! I was so worried. What happened? Did you see anything? Can you-"
Maia intervened,"Stop it Rias! Tsuno needs to get his mind together and process whatever he saw in there."
With that Tsuno and the girls went to sleep.
The next day
•11:35•
Tsuno wakes up to find that Rias, Zero Two and Maia aren't sleeping with him. He gets up and looks for them. After searching the house, he found them in the training room.
He walked up to them,"Hey girls!"
Rias is the first to turn around,"Tsuno!-" She ran towards him. "-Why aren't you at work?"
"I don't feel like going to work."
Maia and Zero Two come up to Tsuno as Rias asks the question that she wanted to ask,"Tsuno, what did you se-"
Suddenly two loud rings interupt Rias from asking her question.
"Sorry Rias. I didn't know that the bands had this function inserted into them."
"Neither did I," said Maia.
Maia walked to Tsuno. When she reached him, Tsuno and Maia took of the white band and the Rosé band respectively. The two bands combined to make a big mirror screen. On the screen, Tentou showed on the screen.
"Tsuno! Maia! We need your help! There is this witch that appeared here! The others are already here, it's just the two if you that must come! Make quick!"
The two of them immediately transform into their suits and teleports to Tentou, Saito and Yuudai's location.
At 1 Hashimoto Str.
Tsuno and Maia arrive at the location and they immediately see a witch wearing the same clothes as Sera just purple, black and orange. Saito, Tentou and Yuudai are already standing in their own fighting stances and ready for combat.
Maia joins them, but Tsuno walks more forward,"What are you doing here..."
"Hikari and I'm here coz of the big boss. He told me that there is a group of wanna-be heros and I guess he was talking about you."
"And what is your boss' name?"
"Why should I tell you?-"
Tsuno internally,'So she's just like the arrow and ball demon I fought with Tanjiro. She has a curse placed on her, so that she doesn't tell us hid name.'
"-You know what, the boss is right. You guys do look weak and annoying, so I'll finnish you all off at once."
Tsuno is already behind her and slices off her head. Her head rolls over to the others and her body falls to the ground.
Tsuno says in a deep voice,"Take that for calling us weak. You don't even know what the meaning if weak is and here you where killed with just a simple cut to the neck. You are the real weak one."
Suddenly the body disintegrates and a new body emerges from the ground. "You have no right to call me weak YOU HUMAN!-" She turns over to face Tsuno, but he's gone.
"BLAZING KUNAI!" Then a kunai with flames around it came out of nowhere. Hikari punches the kunai, but doing so the kunai explodes scattering her body all over. All of the members of The Band Heros of Reality form a circle.
"Do you think we got her?" asks Saito. He looks around and everyone is nodding their heads.
But then Hikari's body appeared unharmed. "You see you weak humans. This is my secret ability: 'Back in Black'. Whenever I get killed, I am revived with my strength, magic and speed are increased by two-fold."
She then runs to Tsuno and tries to kick his head off, but him, Maia and Saito blocks the kick and pushes her away. Tsuno then run to cut her head and Maia runs with him to punch her to death.
They done so, but she just came back again. Tentou, Saito and Yuudai runs and tries to kill her. While they are doing that Tsuno shouts,"You and your boss has a big plan to destroy something, right!"
As she was about to say something, Tentou, Saito and Yuudai stabs her and kills her, but she comes back. She kicks Maia into some bushes, but she can't hear what is being said and says what she wanted to say," You will never find out what Shinka Kenkyūsha-san's pla-"
She covers her mouth."No Boss! I didn't mean to say your nam-" Suddenly hands comes out of her mouth and rip her apart.
"Seems like your intelligence doesnt increase at all. That will be the last that we see of her. Now I got to get Maia." While Tsuno was running to Maia he was thinking to himself,'Maia's surname is Kenkyūsha and that witch said 'Shinka Kenkyūsha' and earlier in my life I met Matthew Kenkyūsha, so there is a chance that their all related. I don't think I should tell Maia.'
Tsuno finds Maia and picks her up."You Okay, Maia?"
"Yea, I'm find. It's just the landing that hurt." Tsuno grabbed her and teleported both of them to the others.
Tsuno walks to Tentou,"Dude, did you see that we are fighting near the school."
"Yea, I saw while we were fighting her. But why-"
Tsuno continues Tentou's sentence. "-would she aim for the school?"
Saito comes from behind them both and puts his arms around both of them,"Who cares, as long as we save people it doesn't matter what the reason is." and Saito walks off. After 20 steps a lightning bolt from the sky heads towards him. Tentou steps in and redirects the lightning bolt back to sender.
"That was close, thanks for saving my life Tentou."
"No problem. It's just...who sent that?"
"I know who it it.-" say Tsuno. "-It's Zeus, the Greek God of Thunder.
As soon as Tsuno said that the clouds got darker and Zeus cane out. "It's so nice to see you again, Tsuno."
"Spit it out Zeus. What are you doing here?"
"I'm just here to collect what is mine.-" He points to Saito, but more specifically the bands. "-Those bands are property of Olympus!"
"No it's not. Only when the host of the bands dies until a new one is found, then the band is property of Olympus. But now it's not."
"Yes it is, we used all our resources to create it and we can take it whenever we want to."
"The Gods of Egypt, the Christian Bible and Japanese Gods didn't come to collect it whenever they feel like it, because they remember the agreement they all made. Seems like you forgot, oh wait it wasn't you that signed it, it was Hephaestus that done it and created the bands."
"Honesty, I wish I could just kill you with one lightning bolt. Speaking of which, who threw my lightning bolt back to me?"
Tentou steps forward,"It was me."
"Well...you'll be the first to DIE!" Then Zeus summons a lightning bolt and throws at Tentou. He catches it and throws it back, hitting him on the chest.
Tsuno runs to the school,"You guys, I feel a strange aura in the school! I'm going to explore it!" The rest just nod and continue battling Zeus.
In the school
Tsuno is running so fast the students that were walking in the hall didn't see him.
After a minute of searching, Tsuno went to the cleaning room in the males bathroom. He opens the door and finds a small reddish black crystal on the floor.
Tsuno internally,'So you are the crystal I saw in my dream. You have a big aura that even Zeus could sense you. You must be very powerful, so powerful that even Zeus wanted you.'
Tsuno leans in to grab in and when he touches it, he gets a vision of a man in what looks to be his Cursed Hero suit, but has a priest robe on with a cross necklace and beads over his hands,"You, Tsuno Kenkaku are the new wielder of the Cursed Bands. You have now been granted the power of the general to give unlimited curses and the power of a priest to give unlimited holy power. You have the powers of a general and a priest, but it will only come to you in a big situation. You can also summon a new base weapon that is to your liking, all you have to say is 'Cursed Weapon' and your new base weapon will show itself. Now...Share this information with the other heros!"
The vision ended. Tsuno looks at it and puts it in his pocket watch. He teleports to the others.
Outside the school
Tsuno appears outside of the school to see that: Maia trying to punch Zeus with her Destruction energy, Tentou is fading around Zeus and stabbing him, Yuudai is driving back (all of them are basically creating a opening for someone), Saito is readying a barrier that has fire and water inside it for when the opening is created.
Tsuno is just looking at the fight. As Maia is pulling back, Yuudai is going in to slash Zeus and Tentou fades away from Zeus. Tsuno yells,"NOW SAITO!"
"BARRIER OF FIRE AND WATER!" Saito shoots out the concentrated ball of fire and water. The others gets out of the way and the ball hits Zeus. It starts to burn him then water him and done it ten times. After it was done the barrier broke and Zeus was lifted into the sky by his sons.
Before he fully returned to Olympus he said,"I will come back and I will get those bands back to Olympus."
"And we will be ready for that Zeus. Let's meet again, brothers."
Apollo, heracles, ares, perseus,hermes, hephaestus and the other sons just looked at him and flew into Olympus.
Tsuno turns to face the others and all of them (except for Maia and Tentou) were shocked at what they've seen. "You guys, I have something to tell you all. I can't do it out in the open, so we need to go to my house."
All of them nodded and Tsuno teleports them to his house.
To Be Continued...
