Thank you! You saved my life! Marry me!
After being rescued from the robber, the old woman hugged the suspicious-looking mad scientist and even kissed him on the cheek, much to his delight and Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya and the Creepy Guy's disbelief.

It was a fine day in Neo-City, we then head towards the Training Camp where everyone are seen having a good time doing various things such as Jaune Arc, Jacques Paulsen, Honne Nohotoke, Nagi Kagami, Yuko Tanimoto, Riko Kishihara and Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya running around the track field, Lie Ren and Youhei Sunohara are seen sitting on a bench with the former reading a book and the latter checking his phone, Nodoka Takehara and Aka Red are seen sitting on the grass when SpongeBob SquarePants arrives and offered them with a Krabby Patty, much to the former's delight and the latter's bewilderment, and Anna Maymorie is seen talking to Dan Gotanda while walking towards the main entrance.
The scene then transitions inside the facility where we see Malvina Rasputin walking down the hallways, she had her gauntlet that she got from John Goku in her arms and she's excited to try it in a spar with Taro Yamada whom volunteered to help her learn close combat skills.
Suddenly, a pair of hands, six of them to be precise, grabs the back of her shirt which chokes her a little, much to her surprise.
Malvina then turns around to see Raya Amanda, Sylvia van Hossen and Karizza Stronghold standing behind her, "Hey! What's the big idea grabbing the collar of my dress like that?!" the pale-skinned healer demanded.
"Quiet! We're here to ask you a question!" Raya answered.
Malvina sighed in response, "What is it this time?" she uttered, "If it's about me and Marcus, then you already know the answer...'' she trailed, "... we're in a relationship now!" she declared, "Can't you girls at least give up already!'' she exclaimed in frustration.
Raya crossed her arms, "Yeah, and we're still peeved about that!" she replied in disbelief, "But like we said before, we're not giving up on him!" she reminded, "We love him more as much as you do!" she declared in defiance before shaking her head, "Anyway! We're not here to talk about that!" she deflected before grabbing the hems Malvina's blouse before pulling her close to her face, "What's up with Marcus and Arinah?!" she demanded, "We noticed that they've been together a lot lately?!" she pointed out.
"Ah... eh... about that...'' Malvina uttered nervously.
"You definitely know something.'' Sylvia noted.
"Spill it out or I'll have every blood in your body spill out like a can of juice!" Karizza threatened.
Everyone stared at the not-so-sleepyhead with strange looks, "You know..." Raya uttered, "... you scare me sometimes.'' she admitted.
Malvina sighed in response, "Look..." she uttered, "... nothing is going on between her and Marcus.'' she reassured.
"How can you be sure about that?" Sylvia asked.
Malvina looks around the hallways, "Okay, I promised Aria not to tell anyone about this but I'll make an exception to the three of you.'' she conceded.
One minute later...
"Whaaaatttt?" the three girls exclaimed in shock.
"SSSHHHH!" Malvina hushed loudly.
"M-M-Marcus and Arinah are s-s-s-siblings!" Sylvia stuttered.
Malvina sighed once more, "Yes..." she confirmed, "... both of them lost their memories of each other and it was just recently that Aria regained her memories." she explained, "And as for Marcus, she already told him but he is still doesn't remember anything." she concluded.
"I see..." Sylvia uttered, "I guess that's understandable why they're together a lot." she acknowledged.
Raya sighed in relief, "That's good..." she uttered, "And I hear I thought that I had another competition for Marcus' attention.'' she stated.
Malvina facefaulted, "Good for you then." she grumbled sarcastically.
"Wooh!" Karizza uttered in relief, "And I hear I thought blood will be spilled today.'' she said with a smile.
"Are you seriously going to kill me?!" Malvina exclaimed in horror.
"Girls.'' a voice called out.
Everyone turns to see Penelope von Steiner making her way towards them, the girls blink at the same time when they noticed something different from her.
"Uh, Miss Penelope..." Sylvia uttered, "Did you just got a haircut?'' she asked.
Penelope nodded, "Yes I have.'' she confirmed. Her hair now is short and straight with her left bangs hiding her right eye. She also wearing her pink shirt underneath blue suit, and also blue tight trousers that matches her suit and she has a belt at her hips and she wears black high heels.
"Well, I like your new look." Raya admitted, "Anyway..." she uttered, "... do you need anything from us, Miss Penelope?'' she inquired.
Penelope nodded in confirmation, "I'm here to inform you that an assembly will be held in just about a minute, so I suggest you girls make your way towards the auditorium.'' she explained.
"Assembly?'' the girls uttered said at the same time.

The four girls then arrived in the auditorium inside the Training Camp before separating ways to join their respective teams as several staff members and trainers got on stage.
"ATTENTION EVERYONE!" Major Richard Stronghold shouted which got everyone's attention, "BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE!" he said, "WE'D LIKE TO SAY THAT WE'RE HAPPY FOR BOTH ARINAH AND MARCUS, WHOM ARE ACTUALLY SIBLINGS, FINALLY REUNITING WITH EACH OTHER!" he announced with a grin and a thumbs-up, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
"You got to be kidding me!" Herald squawked in shock, "They're siblings!" he exclaimed.
"They were siblings." Cesaro Barbossa uttered, "And here I thought they were dating behind Malvina's back." he commented.
Mandy Rosal gave him a look of disbelief, "Where did you get that conclusion?" she questioned.
Meanwhile at one bleacher somewhere in the auditorium, we see the members of the Hunting Team, minus their leader, gathered around alongside Hector Vanguard Jr.
Aria "Arinah" Sakurada giggled, "Looks like the cat's out of the bag now.'' she mused.
"Seriously?" Hector squawked in annoyance, "What's the point of us keeping it a secret from everyone?!" he complained.
Arinah then gave him a glare, "Do you have a problem with that?'' she demanded with a threatening voice and Hector responded by shaking his head in denial and fear.
Meanwhile at another bleacher somewhere in the auditorium, we see the members of the New Age Avengers looking at their leader in utter shock and disbelief.
Eddy Skipper McGee is seen shaking Marcus "The Kane" McGee back and forth, "Marcus! How come you didn't tell us that Arinah is your sister?!" he demanded.
"Believe me, Eddy..." Marcus uttered with a blank look, "I'm just as shock as you are." he admitted.
"Wait a minute..." Rex Salazar uttered, "Arinah is a princess, right?" he pointed out, "Does that make Marcus a prince?" he assumed.
Everyone then looks at Marcus in shock, "Wow..." Danny Fenton uttered, "... that explains why you're such a royal pain.'' he commented.
"Prince...'' Rolf muttered in shock, "Your majesty!" he gasped before kneeling down the floor, "Rolf gravel at your feet! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah!" he expressed before kissing Marcus' left foot.
Marcus quickly pulls away, "Stop that!" he exclaimed.
"It's not gravel, it's grovel!" Eddy corrected, "Ugh..." he groaned with a hand at the back of his head, "I think I need a minute for all of this.'' he uttered.
"I think I need one as well.'' Marcus said in agreement.
Back on stage.
"ANYWAY!" Richard resumed, "THE REASON WHY WE'RE ALL GATHERED HERE TODAY IS BECAUSE WE'LL BE ANNOUNCING A NEW TEAM!" he announced with everyone bursting out in excitement.
Eddward Marion "Edd, Double D" Smith and Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke then steps on stage, "Due to the success of the previous team missions, we all decided to finally form the next team." the former explained.
"And without further ado, it's time to announce the members of the next team!" Minna declared with a smile.
"If you're name is called..." Penelope mentioned, "... please make your way towards the stage.'' she instructed.
Aty then steps forward on stage, "Good morning, everyone." she greeted, "For the first members of this team, I would like to congratulate Miss Haruka Takayama and Miss Yuu Sonoda for making it in this team!" she announced with a smile.
Then two girls from the crowd gasped in shock.

"We did it, Haruka-chan!" Yuu cheered, "We made it to a team!" she exclaimed in joy.
"I'm so happy that I wanna kiss you, Yuu-chan!" Haruka cried out before leaning towards her partner.
"Haruka!" Yuu squawked in embarrassment, "Everyone are looking!" she pointed out.
Ritsu Tainaka then appeared between the two, "Geez! Get a room you two!" she exclaimed in annoyance, "Or better yet..." she uttered, "... get the hell on stage!" she demanded.
Haruka and Yuu complied before running towards the stage while the Scout steps forward, "Listen up losers!" he demanded, "The next member of this team is none other than CHS' Mr. Nice Guy himself, Flash Sentry!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.
"M-me?'' Flash Sentry stuttered in shock before smiling, "All right!" he cheered before sharing a high-five with Kafuu and Sandalwood.
"Congratulations, Flash!" Charlotte Dunois called out with a smile.
"Good job, Flashie!" Pinkie Pie cheered.
"You're hard work finally paid off!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed with a proud smile.

The Sniper then steps forward, "Next..." he spoke, "... we have two IS Academy students joining the team, Miss Charlotte Dunois and Miss Kanzashi Sarashiki!" he announced with many students from the IS Academy cheering in response.
The aforementioned girls were surprised when their names were called when Ichika Orimura and Laura Bodewig placed their hands on their shoulders, "Go girls." the male IS user beckoned, "You deserve to be part of this team.'' he stated with a smile with Laura nodding in agreement.
The two girls smiled back, "Hai!" they replied.
As Charlotte made her way towards the stage, Kanzashi shared a quick hug with Ichika and Tatenashi Sarashiki before running towards the stage. Flash and Charlotte shared a small hug before letting go with red blushes on their faces while Kanzashi gave everyone a small wave.
Samurai Jack then steps forward, "Next..." he uttered, "... he is known as the Destroyer of Time and the Crown Clown, Allen Walker!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.

"Hoeeeh!" Sakura Kinomoto gasped in surprise from the crowd.
Fabia Sheen lightly taps her shoulders, "Be proud of yourself Sakura, you made it!" she encouraged with a smile.
Sakura smiled back, "H-Hai!" she replied before making her way towards the stage while sharing a high-five with Regan Bladeworks, Anna Maymorie and Erika Yaeger, on the way.
The Heavy then steps forward, "Next..." he began, "... like Heavy, he is big!" he described, "And like Heavy, he is strong!" he added, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Chunk the Homunculus!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.
Chunk the Homunculus raised his arms up triumphantly in the crowd, "Yey! Chunk in team!" he cheered before making his way to the stage.
"And like Heavy, Chunk had a small brain.'' Yosuke Hanamura joked and got hit on the head by Chie Satonaka for the rather rude comment.
The Spy then made himself visible on stage, "For those who is wondering whom I'm about to call next is none other the multi-trillionaire philanthropist and the current head of the Oum Industries, Michael Oum!" he announced.
"About time." a male husky voice uttered.
Everyone turns around to see a young man standing near the water dispenser while taking a drink before dumping the plastic cup into the trash bin, he then fixed his suit before making his way towards the stage.
The young man had a tall stature and a fair complexion, he had a slicked-back blonde hair and he had dark-colored eyes. He wears a white suit over a dark-collared shirt along with a chain with a dog tag placed around his chest, he wears dark pants and blue & white sneakers. This is Michael Oum.

"I never knew he was a trillionaire.'' Hector uttered in surprise.
"You mean you don't know?" Lavi uttered in disbelief, "Everyone knows that he is a very rich man and pretty famous too!" he pointed out.
"How come I don't know him?'' Hector asked.
"Because you are a moron.'' Alla Yuliya replied with a blank look.
The Soldier then steps forward, "All right! Listen up, you maggots!" he barked, "The next member is none other than the daughter and the heiress of the Van Lourd Industries, Jessica Van Lourd!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.

Precious smirked in response, "Thank you Adagio darling~" he replied before standing up, "But I already expected myself that I'll become a leader." he admitted before making his way to the stage.
As the last member of the new team got on stage, Precious is approached by Louie, "Congratulations young man." he complimented before offering him a handshake, "I look forward seeing you leading this team.'' he waited.
Precious gracefully accepted the handshake, "It's an honor Louie darling~" he replied in gratitude, "With my marvelous and dazzling skills, I will lead my team to great heights.'' he declared with an elegant pose.
