DarkMagicianmon wiped sweat from his brow. Ever since that Nukid had stolen the Stone Tablet everyone had been working non stop for clues. Hardly anyone had gotten sleep and they were all severely pissed. Lord knows what they'd do to Nukid when they found him

DM sat with fellow Author Fighters members in the meeting room to discuss the situation

'Okay everyone. We've been searching for days now for clues of the thief. What have we found?' DM asked everyone

'Well seeing as the guy was working for the Huntsclan we searched for their hideout. However upon finding it all we found was the Huntsmaster on the floor unconscious and bleeding buckets. We couldn't find that tablet either' TL told him

'Sounds to me like he double crossed him and took the Stone Tablet for himself. Man this bastard's sneaky' TSS grumbled

'O.k. so we can assume he no longer helps the Huntsclan, but that doesn't help us understand his motives' DM said annoyed

'Well me and Slpytlak hadn't had any chance to look ourselves. Some incident happened in the Dragonworld a couple of months ago. A well known dragon went missing and we've been helping look for him, but it's like the guy went off the face of the planet!!' Charles told them while Splytlak nodded in agreement

'I understand you two. There must be something we've missed' DM said

'Perhaps Sempai to understand his motives we need to learn his past' Hikari proposed

'What do you mean?' Airnaruto asked

'Those martial arts skills…they seemed familiar to me, so I did some research and I remembered. The Rokushikis is a martial arts skill known by the CP9'

'CP9. Who the hell are they?' Mantis asked

'Cipher Pol 9. They are a group of Rokushiki users who assassinate for the government. Because they all have superhuman strength very little can go up against them' Hikari explained

'Wait your saying we might be going up against a whole government?' Ross asked

'Well their government is in a different world, and I doubt they know about the different worlds anyway, so I don't think they have anything to do with this'

'That means we're dealing with a rogue. Great' Ranger moaned

'If that's the case then we can plot our next move' DM said starting to form a plan

Hoever before the plan could be fully realized the alarm went off and everyone got up from there seats. Erin who had not been in the meeting swung the door open

'You guys ain't gonna believe what's just happened?' Erin said with astonishment

'Oh this sounds bad' DM groaned as he flicked the TV on. What was on the screen however shocked everyone

Right on the screen laid Titans Tower, or what was left of it. The whole tower had been destroyed and was left to waste

'Wh…what the hell. Who…could of done this?' WX said astonished

'Whoever they were…..they must be powerful to destroy the Titans in seconds. Perhaps…he's back' DM grumbled snapping the pencil in hand

TSS turned to M 'DM…we still need to find Nukid, we can't worry about this'

TL seemed angry at this and turns to TSS 'You mean we should ignore fellow heroes in trouble. What's wrong with you Syndiacte!!'

'I want to help them too, but that bastard Nukid holds something that could do much worse harm. We can't ignore that!!' TSS retorted

'And that means we can't help friends. Are all vampires cold hearted TL spat. TSS looked like he was about to attack Soul but DM intervened

'Knock it off you two!! You're both right neither problem can be ignored. That is why we will split up. Some of us will investigate the ruins of Titans tower' DM told his team

'And what about the rest' Airnaruto asked

'Hikari, what is the CP9 base called' DM asked

'I believe it was called Enies Lobby. That's where all the dangerous criminals go sempai' Hikari explained

'Then that is where the rest of us are going' DM said

Nukid, Rose and Vash sat on an outside café table in Jump City drinking Coke while Vash stuffed loads of donuts in his mouth

'So Nukid when are the rest of your new teammates coming' Vash asked in between bites

'I asked a friend and fellow member to pick the other two up, and if that isn't convenient enough. Here he is' Nukid said pointing towards the end of the road

At first it was a blur but as it got closer a huge motorcycle was heading thee way. The vehicle stopped in front of them revealing three people on it. Two were unconscious

Rose gasped in shock off the two knocked out people

'Nukid…they're Dr Drakken and Shego. What are they doing here?' Rose asked

'Why they're a part of our team' Nukid turns to the third person 'You have much trouble getting here Travis?'

Standing in front of them was a man with black spiky hair with sunglasses on. He wore a red jacket and blue jeans and on his belt was what looked like a lightsaber

'Hey I know you. You're that famous assassin Travis Touchdown' Vash pointed out

Travis turns to Vash 'That's right punk, and I know who you are Vash the Stampede, and if I wasn't paying Nukid a favour I'd kill you and take the bounty for myself'

'Oh please you'd just spend it on Hentai anyway' Nukid said anyway. Travis flinched at the statement

As they spoke Drakken and Shego slowly began to wake up and were confused by everything

'Wh…what's going on here? One minute we were at our base fighting those masked guys and now we're here?' Drakken said. Shego however hit him on the head

'WE? You mean I fought them while you cowered. Idiot' Shego grumbled

'Masked men? I see you've already met the Zodiacs then' Nukid said. Everyone turned to him

'The what?' Rose asked

'I guess I should explain everything then. Everyone take a seat' Nukid said. Everyone sat down and listened

'Now, the Zodiacs are..' Nukid stops and suddenly collapses on the table. He's starts snoring like he was asleep. Everyone except Vash and Travis were surprised

'Aw great he fell asleep again. The asshole' Travis cursed trying to wake Nukid up

'Fell asleep? But he was talking a second ago!' Drakken said

'Nukid has Narcolepsy. He constantly falls asleep even when he's in the middle of talking or fighting. It's pretty funny you know' Vash said with a laugh

Nukid out of nowhere wakes up from his sleep 'Aw crap I fell asleep again. Gotta stop doing that. Anyway where was I?'

'You were gonna explain the Zodiacs to us' Shego said

'Oh yea. Anyway people I can assume you know what a Darkside is right?'

'Yea, there people who have given in to their own darkness, and they allow it to take over them' Rose said

'True, but what if I told you thee were ways to manufacture your own Darkside. Almost making a cyborg. Manufactured Darksides were never human, and never knew any form of light. They have nothing but darkness' Nukid explained

'Who would bring something like that to life?' Vash asked seriously

'Someone who wants power. Manufactured Darksides are weapons, they obediently follow there master to their deaths, that is what they the Zodiacs are. Twelve manufactured Darkside which for months have been terrorizing this world, all because of there masters wishes'

'But how are they made though. Sounds tricky to me?' Drakken said

'The instructions to manufactured Darksides and many other Darkside secrets were written ages ago on three stone tablets. I currently have one of them and the one controlling the Zodiacs has a second tablet. We cannot let this guy get his hands on the third tablet'

'This Darkside crap, don't those Author Fighters deal with that. Why do you want us?' Travis asked

Nukid sank his head and for once had a sorrowful look on his face

'My life ain't been pretty. I've done horrible things. Things I can't forgive myself for, but by doing this I'm atoning some of those mistakes, but I can't do it alone, to stop the Zodiacs I will need all your help' Nukid said

Everyone was silent until Rose said 'Well, if we're gonna be a team, then what's our name'

'Well Rose we're fighting animal Darksides right?' Nukid asked rhetorically

'Yea why?'

'In that case…we shall be known as The Hunters'

And so my new team The Hunters are born. Stay tuned
