10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.

Dan Mandel grabbed Eddy Skipper McGee by the collar, pinned him on the wall and began to punch him, "WHY! DIDN'T! YOU! TELL! ME! THAT! YOU'RE! NOW! A! STUDENT! HERE!" the short-tempered jerk shouted with every punch.

Eddy then turned the tables by grabbing Dan by the collar, pinning him on the wall and began to punch him as well, "YOU! NEVER! MENTIONED! YOU'RE! A! STUDENT! HERE! EITHER!" the ex-scam artist shouted with every punch.

As the short-tempered jerk and the ex-scam artist takes turns of punching each other while getting pinned on a wall, Pinkie Pie, Chris Pearson, Edd Gould, Tom Ridgewell, Matt Hargreaves, Tenma Daytona Romeoford, Eddward "Edd & Double D" Marion Vicente, Edwin "Ed" Horace Hall, Rolf Von Olsson, Sally Bollywood, Doowee McAdam, Shizuka Kasagi, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson, Ushio Makunouchi, Coco Kiryu, Ritsu Tainaka, Sunset Shimmer, Yui Hirasawa, Azusa Nakano, Mio Akiyama, Tsumugi Kotobuki and the rest of the patrons watches them in utter amusement, confusion and disbelief.

"Is this a normal occurrence between these two?" Sally asked.

Double D rubs the back of his head, "This is the first that we've met his cousin, so we don't actually know." he admitted.

"Either way..." Ushio uttered, "... someone had to stop these two from beating each other." she beckoned, "And I had enough brawls for today." she admitted.

"I dunno..." Coco uttered, "... I find it hilarious watching those two kill each other." she said with a big smile.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ushio questioned in disbelief.

Having enough of the cousins' nonsense, Tenma quickly steps forward and made his way towards the two, "That's it!" the normie shouted, "Enough roughhousing ya two!" he chastised, "You're causing trouble to others!" he pointed out.

Eddy and Dan responded by glaring at him, "BUTT OUT! WE'RE ARGUNG!" they growled.

The short-tempered jerk and the ex-scam artist then in tandem punched Tenma square on the face which send the normie crashing down on the floor in an unconscious state.

"Wow..." Tom muttered in bemusement, "... and this is why you shouldn't interfere when someone are fighting." he reminded.

Matt smiled in relief, "I'm so relief that I'm not in his shoes." he commented while referring to Tenma.

"But I think punching him is a bit too much." Tsumugi pointed out.

Tom crossed his arms, "It's to set an example." he replied.

Sally then clenched her fist, "How about I give you an example?" she offered.

Pinkie then slammed her hands on the counter which got everyone's attention, she then leans over, "Dan!" she called out which got the short-tempered jerk's attention, "I understand that you want to do some family bonding with your cousin..." she trailed.

"You call that 'family bonding'?" Sunset, Ushio, Mio, Azusa, Ritsu, Double D, Sally, Doowee, Cody and Shizuka exclaimed in their thoughts in disbelief.

"... but you're disrupting business, so I suggest that you do it somewhere else." Pinkie beckoned.

Dan sighed in response, "Alright." he conceded before pointing a finger at Eddy, "I'll deal with you later." he phrased before turning back to Pinkie, "So, where were we?" he asked.

"We should save that conversation after I'm finished with work." Pinkie suggested, "I do had a lot of free time after that." she admitted.

Dan sighed once more, "Alright." he conceded before snapping a finger, "Let's go, Chris." he beckoned.

"Sure, Dan." Chris complied while carrying a bag of muffins and taking a bite of one.

Dan looks at him in disbelief, "When did you get those?" he questioned with a finger pointed at the bag of muffins.

"You were busy beating up your cousin, so I took the chance to buy a whole bag of it." Chris explained.

Dan smacked a hand on his face, "Figures." he grumbled, "Let's get out of here!" he beckoned, "And give me one of those!" he demanded.

"Sure, Dan." Chris complied.

"Bye-guys!" Pinkie expressed.

Dan and Chris waves their hands in response before leaving the cafe, everyone then watches the two leave out of their sight when Sunset turns her attention to Eddy.

"You had quite a cousin there." Sunset commented.

Eddy chuckled in response, "Yeah..." he uttered in agreement while dusting himself, "Dan is one of a kind." he commented.

"Do you often get fights with him?" Edd asked.

Eddy waves his hands, "Nah." he dismissed, "Dan and I are like brothers." he described, "Me and him beating the crap out of each other is a form of bonding." he explained with a smile.

"Seriously?!" Ritsu squawked in disbelief.

"So, Pinkie is not far off with her claims." Doowee uttered with a blank look.

Sunset sighed, "We should a get a table for ourselves, so we can finally indulge ourselves with some sweets." she beckoned.

"First things first..." Ushio interrupted before pointing a finger at the still unconscious Tenma, "Someone oughta do something with this guy?" she pointed out.

"Right..." Sunset uttered in realization.

Double D then checks on Tenma, "Well..." the sock-wearing boy uttered, "... he is unconscious." he declared.

Ed then pulled Tenma up from the ground, "He don't look too good, Double D." he commented, "Uh, wake up Ten!" he called out while shaking Tenma, "Stop being unconscious now." he beckoned and began to slap Tenma hard on the face to which effectively woke him up.

"Ed!" Tenma called out as the big lump slaps him again, "Ed! I'm awake!" he cried out but the yellow-skinned boy slaps him one more time and this time rendered him unconscious once more.

"We should get ourselves some cupcakes and head back to the dorms, so Tenma can rest in his room." Shizuka beckoned.

Rolf nodded, "A sentiment Rolf agrees upon." he said in agreement.


After getting some cupcakes from the Sugarcube Corner, the whole group broke off and went their separate ways, Edd & his goons went elsewhere while Eddy's group made their way back to the dorms, and Sunset & the new students resumed their tour.

And after a long day, the sun is about to set, Sunset concluded the tour and made their way towards the Corona House where they met up with Shizuka.

After receiving their room arrangements from Shizuka, the newcomers made their separate ways with the After School Tea Time making their way to the tenth floor while Coco and Ushio made their way to the seventh floor.

"Quite a first day, huh?" Coco asked with a smile.

Ushio sighed in response, "Yeah." she uttered in agreement, "Would have been better if we haven't gotten involved in that brawl?" she expressed in dismay.

"Yeah." Coco uttered in agreement, "But we sure do kicked those guys asses." she mused while referring to Dash Baxter's gang.

Ushio snorted in response, "You got that right." she replied in agreement.

"We met a lot of people here today, too." Coco added.

"A lot of the people we've met today are okay in my book." Ushio replied, "Except for those guys." she corrected while referring to Dash Baxter's gang, "Even if some of them are crazy at best, I do admit that I like them in a way." she admitted.

Coco chuckled, "Me, too." she said in agreement, "They remind of my old friends." she reminisced with a sad smile.

Ushio took notice of this, "Coco?" she uttered in surprise.

Coco quickly shook her head, "Nothing, nothing..." she dismissed, "I'm just reminded of something I should have forgotten a long time ago." she stated before arriving in front of a door, "Oh!" she squawked, "This is my room." she pointed out, "Guess I'll see you at dinner, Ushio." she expressed with a smile.

"Y-Yeah." Ushio uttered in response before Coco entered her room, "What was that about?" she whispered in confusion before shaking her head, "I guess that is something personal to Coco." she assumed, "I shouldn't pry on that." she beckoned before walking off.

As Ushio walks off-screen, the camera then shifted to the left to reveal a person that looks exactly like Ushio, only wearing a fancy clothing.

It was the Presence.

The Presence smiled at the retreating form of Ushio, "Looks like I've found my second champion." they declared, "One day after another." they mused.


Time skipped to 10:49 of evening where the entire city had decided to call it a night but a large number of people are getting themselves ready for their certain nightly task.

"Please be careful everyone." Shizuka expressed in concern.

In the main lobby of the Corona House, Ichika Orimura, Houki Shinonono, Cecilia Alcott, Zed Necrodopolis, Naruto Uzumaki, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ryuuko Matoi, Yuka Hanazawa, Ryouko Asuka, Caulifla, Kaname Chidori and Mina Ashido are seen getting ready for their tasks.

"Don't worry, we'll keep our guards at all times." Ichigo reassured.

"We didn't get to join last night's patrol due to us getting carried away with the party..." Naruto shared, "... but we're more than ready for tonight." he declared with a grin.

"I just hope that the Forsaken Entities are the only ones were dealing tonight." Ryuuko expressed in annoyance.

Shizuka frowned in response, "I hope so, too." she uttered in agreement.


The scene then transitioned to the streets and in the middle of one road, Mii Konori, Tetsuya Kusakabe and Yui Kotegawa are seen gathered around while having a discussion.

"Have you advised everyone to take shelter inside their respective residences?" Yui inquired.

Mii nodded in response, "Yes." she replied in confirmation, "Everyone is accounted for." she added.

"The only ones out of the street are those taking part on this patrol." Tetsuya stated, "Civilians are locked safely in their homes and some of them are probably asleep as of this moment." he furthered.

"I do hope that we don't disturb them too much." Yui expressed in concern.

"Should we meet up with the others?" Mii beckoned.

Yui nodded in response, "Alright." she complied, "Let's regroup with our fellow members and wait until the barrier is lowered down." she instructed.


In a street somewhere in town, Dash Baxter, Chicken, Kwan Phan, Rudolph "Lightning" Jackson, Scott Wallis and Gary Smith are seen making their way towards a certain area while carrying various deadly weapons.

And all of them are sporting various scary expressions.

The group then walked past-by an alley when a figure steps out from the shadow and this figure is none other than Jeff the Killer.

Jeff chuckled deviously before pulling out a switch-knife from his pockets, twirling it in his finger before gripping it tightly, the deranged lunatic smiled in amusement before stepping back inside the alley.

And on top of a building right next to the alley, Himiko Toga stood on the edge with a deranged yet excited smile on her face.

"I can't wait~" Himiko uttered before giggling like a maniac.


The scene then transitioned to the business district where most of the establishments are already closed for the night. However, Pop's Moon Palace is still open and inside, Pops Drake is seen cleaning a glass behind the counter when a young woman named Chifuyu Orimura walked towards him.

"Are you really sure that it's a good idea to remain open in this time of the night?" Chifuyu asked in concern.

Pops chuckled in response, "Like I said before..." he uttered, "... this line of work can be tiring and make people hungry, so I might as well make myself useful and keep this place open for them in case they want to take a short break and have some refreshments." he explained, "Besides..." he uttered before turning his attention towards one table where Eustace Bagge, Fred Flintstone, Johnny Bravo and the Engineer are seen gathered around while eating cheeseburgers, "I had people that can protect this place." he shared.

Chifuyu sighed in response, "If you say so..." she uttered in acknowledgement.


In a playground somewhere in town, Rainbow Dash, Rarity Belle, Twilight Sparkle and two girls named Fluttershy Breeze and Applejack Smith are seen gathered around when Sunset Shimmer ran towards them.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Sunset apologized, "I went up to stock some ammos." she replied, "Which would I have done a lot quicker if it weren't for a long line." she admitted in annoyance.

Applejack tips her hat, "Worry nothin' sugarcube." she reassured, "What happened is definitely out of your control." she pointed out.

"Have you seen Pinkie Pie?" Fluttershy asked.

Sunset shook her head, "Pinkie is sitting this one out." she revealed.

Rainbow perked up in surprise, "W-What?! Why?!" she squawked in confusion.

"Pinkie said that there is something she needed to discuss with Dan." Sunset replied, "I'm pretty sure it's about their relationship." she assumed.

"Oh my God!" Rarity squealed in delight, "I knew those two are long for each other!" she declared in glee, "I can see it now~" she cooed, "Pinkie and Dan becoming a couple and after six years of romance, they'll get married, they'll have two kids named Danna and Danny whom will call me, Auntie Rare." she listed off with a dreamy look.

"You're getting ahead of yerself there, Rarity!" Applejack admonished.

Twilight chuckled in response, "I can see it though." she admitted.

Rainbow groaned loudly, "Great..." she grumbled, "Just great!" she complained, "We're down with one member!" she pointed out, "What would happen if I we encounter those girls?!" she questioned in annoyance.

Fluttershy gulped nervously, "I-I think we're more than enough to take them on." she reassured.

"How about I join you girls to even the odds?" a voice volunteered and the girls turned around to see Eric Cartman, wearing a racoon-themed superhero costume, "The Coon is ready to help those in need." he shared, "Of course..." he uttered with a grin, "... I must be rewarded with you girls offering yourselves to me!" he declared.

The girls looks at him in utter disgust, they turned around and began to walk away, ignoring Eric on the process, much to his ire.

"Hey!" Eric called out, "How dare you bitches turn your backs on me?!" he exclaimed in disbelief, "Get back here!" he demanded.

Outside the playground, Gingka Hagane, Kyouya Tategami, Monkey D. Luffy, Natsu Dragneel and Nanoha Takamachi are seen making their way towards their designated post when they noticed Eric shouting profanities in the playground.

Gingka raised an eyebrow, "What the fuck is that fatass shouting about?" he questioned in disbelief.

"Just ignore him." Kyouya advised, "He is not worth our time." he reasoned.

"Alright, boys." Nanoha called out for their attentions, "Same as always." she beckoned, "We take out any hostiles in sight and make sure to keep property damages in check." she advised, "And keep your guards up just in case those people make their presence." she added.

Natsu smacked his fists together, "Roger!" he complied, "Those fuckers won't know what's coming to them!" he exclaimed with a grin.

"Shishishishishi!" Luffy chortled, "We're going to kick their asses!" he declared.

Gingka then checked his watch, "Only three minutes before we start." he announced with a smile.


"The time is now eleven pm.'' the voice of the intercom announced all over the city, "All citizens should be indoors, and all champions must be present in the streets.'' it advised.

Suddenly, the barrier covering the entire city began to slowly phased out from existence and at the same time, a different kind of barrier began to cover every buildings in the city.

And outside the Corona House, Eddy is seen sitting on the front steps with a blank look.

"Might as well take a look around and see how things work here." Eddy beckoned.
