It was another fine day at Neo-City as we go the Training Camp. Here we see Anna Maymorie having a conversation with Ichigo Kurosaki and Duncan Nelson at a one bench and on another bench we see Donnel, Nowi and Lissa with the latter two arguing over something or someone. Under the Sakura Tree, we see Geo Stelar and Lan Hikari reading comics as Luna Platz and Hsien-Ko approaches them and just inches away from them, we see Brent Dark, Nicco Bondarev and Natsu Dragneel having a small wrestling game on the grass.
At the Withered Tree, inside the tree house, we see Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Fujimiya and The Creepy Guy watching a movie whie down below the tree house, we see Eddy Skipper McGee flirting with Nonon Jakuzure which caused the latter to kick the former on the nards, making him reel in pain. Edwin Horace "Ed" Williams, Rolf Yrmi and Kaoru Matsubara walks towards him and began to laugh at his painful situation.
In the middle of the courtyard, we see Dan Kusou skateboarding around passing-by Usopp, Nami and Levy McGarden on the process. We then see Yuri Nakamura and Kanade Tachibana entering the main entrance door as they walk across the lobby area as they passes-by Marcus "The Kane" McGee and Erika Yaeger having a conversation with a pair of fourteen years old teens, one boy and one girl to be exact.
The boy has dark skin, is bald and has bushy black eyebrows. He usually wears a green t-shirt with blue jeans and trainers along with his orange Safety Patrol sash. His eyes however are always hidden behind bright, circle rimmed glasses or some other eye wear, such as a pair of shades or some eye gear that's similar to night vision goggles. This is Cornelius Fillmore.

The girl has short black hair with curled fringe, green eyes, and rather pale skin. She usually wears a black dress with black boots and carries a black backpack. This is Ingrid Third.
Vanguard Academy Student and Safety Patrol Officer
Ingrid Third
Both Erika and Marcus were looking at photos taken inside from a bathroom of unrecognized German graffiti-like words written in glitter pen, "So... some idiot decided to vandalize each and every bathroom in the academy." she pointed out, "But what for?'' she asked as Marcus stares intensely at the photos.
Fillmore shook his head, "That we don't know.'' he replied, "Either the suspect wanted to vandalize the bathroom for amusement or done it as some sort of prank.'' he stated.
"We tried to look for clues but so far, these photos are our only evidence." Ingrid added.
"The bathrooms are also heavily guarded, so no one can erase the graffiti-like words until this case is solved." Fillmore said.
Erika rubs the back of her neck, "Hmm..." she hummed, she was to speak when Marcus beats her to it.
"Do you have any suspects for this case?'' Marcus asked which surprised Erika, Fillmore and Ingrid on the process.
Ingrid shook her head before speaking, "Ah yes... so far, we had two potentials suspects.'' she replied, "This are Karizza Stronghold and Alden Cole." she claimed.
Marcus let's out an amused grin, "You can remove Karizza as one of your suspects since her pranks mostly involves explosions." he stated, "The real suspect here is Alden." he claimed.
"Point taken about Karizza but how can you be sure that Alden is the real suspect.'' Fillmore said.
"Most of the graffiti-like words are written in unrecognizable German words and from what I remember, Alden is part German." Marcus explained, "And if that's not enough to convince all of you, the words written in the bathroom will." he said.
"You can read it?'' Ingrid asked in surprise as Marcus nodded, "How?'' she asked.
"The reasons why the words are so unrecognizable because everything is written backwards and with the words written in German makes it more difficult." Marcus replied.
"Then... what does it says?'' Erika asked.
"It says 'Expel Lazaris once and for all'..." Marcus said.
Fillmore smiled, "A protest written in graffiti-style.'' he said as he turns to Ingrid, "Ingrid... we got our culprit." he declared.
Ingrid nodded as she turns to Marcus, "Impressive deduction skills, you should totally join the Safety Patrol.'' she suggested with Fillmore nodding in agreement.
Marcus waves his hand, "Nah... I'll pass." he replied, "Joining you guys means that I had to attend the academy. And I'm done with schools." he stated.
"You two should confront Alden." Erika said, "That idiot really needs to his get his comeuppance.'' she claimed.
Fillmore nodded, "On it." he replied.
And with a very, very awesome timing, Alden Cole enters the main entrance hall and the two saw him, "Freeze! Alden Cole!" Ingrid demanded.
Alden let's out a gasp before breaking into a run, "You're not taking me alive!" he shouted as he ran outside with Fillmore and Ingrid right on his tail.
Everyone watches them go as Marcus scratches the back of his head. Erika let's out a giggle, "I must say... I never thought you, of all people, is the one who managed to pinpoint the real suspect. I'm really impressed." Erika admitted.
Marcus brushes his hair back, "Well... you're looking at a genius here, after all." he mused.
Erika chuckles, "Whatever...'' she said before patting him hard on the back which made him cringed, "I better get going, I was about to see Anyan when I randomly came across the three of you.'' she stated.
"I think I saw Anna outside having a conversation with Ichigo and Duncan.'' Marcus replied.
Erika then grinned, "Oho~ Looks like Anyan is making a move to her crush... better go and remind her again that he's already a girlfriend.'' she said as she walks past Marcus.
The miserable, young lad looks back at her, "Please do... otherwise, it will cause a problem with Ichigo.'' he called out, Erika waves her hands in response. Once she's out of sight, Marcus looks forward, "What was I doing again?'' he asked himself, "Oh! Right!'' he mused snapping a finger.
He then proceeds to walk towards the training area when someone calls him.
"Hey Marcus!" the voice said.
Marcus turns around with a blank face, "Yes? Who's calling?" he replied.
A young man, the same age as him, is seen running towards him, "Yo! I think this is the first we actually had a talk." he said.
Marcus nodded, he had seen this guy several times but never once they got to introduce each other, "I guess your right." he replied.
The young man chuckled, "I'm Darren Cross, by the way, and I just wanted to say that I'm glad that you joined the Coalition!" he said.
Rookie Trainee and Vanguard Academy Student
Darren Cross
Darren has a pink, spiky hair, dark eyes and a pink goatee. He is currently wears a pink mechanic's jumpsuit and pink boots.
Marcus grinned, "Well... I'm honored to hear that.'' he replied, "So... you sure don't like the color pink." he pointed out with a smirk.
Darren waves his hand, "It's my favorite color... what can I say." he replied with a smile, "Like what they say, real men wears pink, and I'm the physical embodiment of that saying." he claimed, "If others beg to differ, they can suck my balls." he declared with a grin.
Marcus let's out a loud laugh, "Yeah! You say it, bro!" he replied, "Anything you wanna say about yourself?'' he asked.
"Feel free to ask.'' Darren egged.
"Are you a trouble maker?'' Marcus asked.
"Not at your level but yeah.'' Darren replied.
"Do you like playing children's game?'' Marcus asked.
"I'm a child at heart." Darren replied placing a hand on his chest.
"Do you like sweets?'' Marcus asked.
"I love parfait and waffles.'' Darren admitted.
"You like kicking butts?'' Marcus asked.
"To anyone that annoys me.'' Darren replied.
"One last question." Marcus said, "Are you pansexual?'' he asked.
Darren was silent for a few minutes before answering, "Yeah... I am.'' he admitted.
Marcus' grin grew bigger, "So am I." he replied.
The two stares at each other for a minute before shaking hands, "COMRADE!" they exclaimed.
"I think I've found myself a new best friend." Marcus claimed.
"I agree." Darren replied in agreement, "By the way... if you had time, would you like to have a spar with me? I just want to test my skills of your levels." he offered.
Marcus thought about it, "You know... I've been here for quite a while but I still had no idea how much I've improve from my training." he stated, "Having a spar with you might just help me with that." he admitted as he looks at his watch, "... since I got nothing to do today, why not! Just meet me in the training area in one hour." he advised with a grin.
Darren grinned back, "Of course!" he replied as they should shared a fist bump.
Bzzzttt...
(Play PWG Theme - Hang Me from the Moon by Barbarian Overlords)
After apprehending Alden and throwing him at the school's detention cells, Fillmore and Ingrid arrives at the training area to see a lot of spectators, from the entire team of Full Force Guerilla and the Multiverse's Cutest Team, a few Vanguard Academy students(Little Joey is seen peaking from the outside), staffs members, other trainees and officials.
At one end of the makeshift arena mat, we see Marcus warming himself up with Darren doing the exact same thing at the opposite side.
"Hey did we miss anything?" Fillmore asked.
Rex Salazar and Randy Cunningham whom are standing right next to them spoke, "Nope! It's just getting started!" Rex replied with a grin as Ingrid and Fillmore took a seat at the bleachers.
"Is Darren gonna fight Marcus barehanded?" Fillmore asked.
"Apparently he is, Darren maybe a swordsman but he's an adapt street fighter." Randy replied.
"Get ready Darren!" Marcus shouted.
"Let's do this!" Darren declared.
And with that, the two charges at each other. Marcus attack first with a punch but Darren dodges then the pink haired boy charges at him but Marcus got behind slapping his back a little, Darren then throws another punch but Marcus dodges by rolling over then Darren tried to kick him but the Peach Creek Jock dodges by back flipping to his feet, then Darren charges again only to Marcus to do a leap frog over him, Darren then quickly goes for a kick but with good timing Marcus caught his boot then with all his might he pushes the boot upwards along with Darren's entire body but he managed to land safely on his feet, then Marcus unleashes a fury of punches but Darren dodges by moving his body to his left, to his right and ducking down in a fast phase.
"Oh mah God!'' Kafuu exclaimed in awe.
Then Marcus tried to kick him but Darren blocks it with forearm then Marcus does a spinning kick but Darren dodges by ducking down then the pink haired young man grabs Marcus' pants dragging down in a school boy causing Marcus to roll backwards falling to his knees, then Darren then tries to kick him but Marcus quickly rolls away to safety.
Marcus quickly got up with a smile on his face while clapping his hands as he was really impressed while everyone began to cheer for both of them.
"All they did so far is dodge every attacks but on how they do it was really amazing!" Rex praised.
"This going to be an awesome spar!" Jake Long exclaimed
The Major Richard Stronghold smirked as he spoke, "THIS IS THE CLEAR RESULT IF YOU TRAIN YOURSELF TO THE FULLEST! I HOPE ALL YOU WOULD FOLLOW BOTH OF THIS BOYS' EXAMPLE!" he shouted.
Everyone responded to him by a loud cheer as they continue to watch the spar between Marcus and Darren. Meanwhile, Louie can be seen watching at the gym's entrance doorway with a smile when his phone began to ring.
Louie fishes out his phone from his pocket and took the call, "Hello! This is the founder of the Heroes Coalition, Louie, the Supreme God of Generosity. What can I do for you?'' he greeted cheerfully the unknown caller like a handyman looking for work.
"Yo, Louie. This is Tukson." the voice of Tukson spoke.
"What's up, Tukson?'' Louie asked.
"We got a... small situation..." Tukson replied, "... you see Rhodey joins in our mission and the first thing he did is that he infiltrated the White Fang base and kidnapped their leader.'' he explained, "So... we had Rhodey take the leader to the Plumbers' HQ. Can you give her the details about our plans and current situation once she regains conscious?'' he requested.
Louie nodded, "Sure, you can count on us." he replied before hanging up, "Leader of the White Fang, huh?'' he mused.
