Tales of the Multiverse Bit 123
Here! Take the Heel-Face Turn Blastah! I don't need it anymore!
The suspicious-looking mad scientist then handed the Heel-Face Turn Blastah to Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, alongside a manual, the suspicious-looking mad scientist and the old woman proceeds to leave by skipping merrily, much to Buckles, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya and the Creepy Guy's disbelief and bemusement.

Hector Vanguard Jr. stood up in shock from the bleachers, "Another team?!" he exclaimed, "Isn't that a bit too much?" he asked.
His question earned him a large number of glares, especially from those whom are hopeful of getting promoted, the Green Lantern flinch in fear at everyone's glare.
Eddward "Double D, Edd" Marion Smith then decided to answer Hector's somewhat rude question, "Well, you see Junior..." he uttered, "The mission these days had been quite perilous and it requires a group to take on said missions, so that's why we are increasing the teams." he explained, "With more team missions coming in, we just can't let the existing teams and the ensemble group of solo heroes to take all of this missions." he reasoned, "And the higher-ups noticed that a lot of trainees are more than ready to take missions, so that's why we're forming two teams.'' he concluded.
"And add the fact that team missions this time around takes days to finish." Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke pointed out, "Some teams need to take on other team missions while the other teams are busy in their current mission" she explained.
"Do you understand now, Junior?" Double D asked.
Hector sat back down on his seat, "Yeah.'' he acknowledged.
"You just had to ask.'' Lavi grumbled in annoyance.
"I was just asking." Hector reasoned.
"You're question came out like you're complaining." Lavi pointed out, "You could just passed your question on to me or any person next to you but instead you decided to blurt it in front of everyone!" he stated in disbelief.
"And thanks to that, you've just earned yourselves more detractors!" Alla Yuliya pointed out, "When you ask that kind question, especially in front of everyone, they would assume that you don't want anyone to get promoted." she explained, "Especially those whom waited for so long." she added.
"Why would they think about that?!" Hector exclaimed in disbelief, "Dammit!" he cursed.
"I think cursing won't help you in this situation.'' Luna Loud uttered with a blank look.
Back on stage, Double D took a step forward, "Anyway..." he resumed, "I think it's about time that we announce the members of the next team!" he declared with the crowd bursting in cheers.

Penelope von Steiner then steps forward, "If your name is called, please make your way to the stage." she advised.
As Penelope took a step back, the Scout then steps forward, "Okay! This time, I'll start this shit!" the cap-wearing mercenary announced, "The first member of this team goes by many names such as Monkey Face, Steel Scorpion and Glass Spider!" he listed off, "But he is mostly known as Chris Pearson!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.
Chris Pearson is seen at the far back of the crowd when he heard his name, "What? Me?!" he squawked in surprise.
Elise Pearson then pats his husband on the back, "Awesome Chris! I'm proud of you!" she complimented.
Chris smiled in response despite his confusion, "Uhh, thanks...'' he uttered in gratitude before making his way on stage.
As Chris got on stage while shaking hands with the Scout, Lord Dominator took a step forward, "My turn to announce the next member.'' she declared.
"Hiya, Lord Dominator!" Edwin "Ed" Horace Williams greeted loudly while waving his hands.
"It's Professor Dominator to you, Ed!" Lord Dominator corrected before letting out a sigh, "Anyway..." she uttered, "... the next member of the team is none other than Chris' wife, Elise Pearson." she announced with everyone cheering in response.
Elise let's out smirk in response, "Well I'll be..." she mused, "I'm in the same team as my husband." she mused.
"I guess you two are really inseparable." Erika Yaeger commented with a smirk.
Elise chuckled in agreement, "We really do.'' she admitted before proceeding to make her way towards the stage, joining her husband on the process before sharing a kiss.
The Pyro then steps forward, much to everyone's surprise, "MMmmpph... mmmpphh... mmm... mmphh... mmph!" he announced in a muffled voice.
From the top of a bleacher, "Ninja" Dave Bauza stood up from his seat, "It's an honor to be part of this team!" he declared, much to everyone's surprise.
"Wait! How did you figure out that you're the one Pyro is calling?" Venoct questioned.
"Easy." Ninja Dave replied, "I understand mumbled words.'' he answered before making his way to the stage.
"I don't get it - nya!" Nyaruto Nyazumaki uttered.
As Ninja Dave got on stage while sharing a handshake with Chris and Elise, the Sniper steps forward, "All right..." the cowboy-hat wearing mercenary spoke, "... the next member is another student from the IS Academy, Honne Nohotoke!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.
"Wai! Yatta! I'm in a team!" Honne Nohotoke cheered while jumping up and down.
Ichika Orimura chuckled in response, "Come on now, I know you're happy but I think you should get going to the stage." he beckoned with a smile.
"Hai~" Honne replied cheerfully before making her way to the stage.
As Honne got on stage while sharing high-fives with Chris, Elise and Ninja Dave, the Spy made himself visible on stage while blowing out a smoke before speaking, "The next person to join this team is the young man from the Alola Region, Kafuu!" he announced.
Kafuu's creepy smile got bigger when he heard his name before getting off his seat, "Well..." he uttered, "... it's about time that I get into the action." he mused before he slowly making his way towards the stage while everyone were freak out by his creepier than creepy smile though he did share a fist bump from Ash Ketchum, Stephan Dunstan, Micro Chips, Bright Idea, Sandalwood and Flash Sentry.
"I don't know what's more scarier, my monster form or him.'' Juniper Montage commented.
As Kafuu joined everyone on stage, the Soldier steps forward, "All right! Listen up and listen well you maggots!" he military helmet-wearing mercenary ordered, "The next team member is one of the most loyal, most respectful and most competitive trainees around!" he shared, "You're part of this team, Brick McArthur!" he announced with everyone cheering in response.
A young man from the crowd responded with a salute, "Sir! Yes Sir!" he complied.

Brick is a tall young man with a buff physique. He had a black flat-top hair and he had dark-colored eyes. He wears a dark-green turtleneck shirt, blue short pants, white socks, black military boots and had a dog tag around his chest.
The Soldier saluted back, "Congratulations young man!" he complimented.
"Thank you Sir!" Brick replied in gratitude before making his way towards the stage while everyone continues to cheer for him.
"Never knew he was this popular." Xyrielle "XY Girl" Yona commented.
"He was already popular back in our Total Drama days." Duncan Nelson pointed out with a grin.
As Brick joined everyone on stage, Joanna Dark steps forward, "The next member of this team is the self-proclaimed Great and Powerful, Trixie Lulamoon!" she announced with everyone cheering in response.
Fuchsia Blush and Lavender Lace clapped their hands in joy as Trixie Lulamoon stood up from her seat, "Finally, I, the great and powerful Trixie has been chosen by the Dharma, Trixie will guarantee to work hard in this team with all her heart and-" she was saying only to be interrupted by a jolly voice.
"Hey, Trixie! Congrats!" Ed cheered with a proud smile.
Bedazzled by Ed's bright smile, Trixie began to blush madly, "Uh, erm, Trixie thank you..." she stuttered rather shyly while fidgeting, making Fuchsia and Lavender giggle at her reaction.
Adagio Dazzle then looks at her with an amused smile, "Trixie, I think you should head over to the stage.'' she beckoned with Trixie nodding in response before making her towards the stage.
As Trixie joined everyone on stage, Samurai Jack steps forward, "Next..." he uttered, "... believe it or not but you're part of this team, Denton Gibson!" he announced which made everyone gasped in shock and disbelief.
"Woohoo-hoo-hoo!" a young man cheered loudly from the crowd, "Oh yeah, baby! Denton "16 years old" Gibson is now a hero!" he declared.

"This is the best day of my life!" Denton cheered.
"Just get on the stage!" Jacques Paulsen demanded in annoyance.
Denton then ran his way towards the stage only for him to trip and landed face first on the floor, "Uggh...'' he moaned in pain.
"What a hero." Jacques mumbled sarcastically.
As Wesley Bryans and Kid Flash helped Denton get on stage, the Demoman wobbly walks forward, "Right... aye..." he uttered, "tha' nexscth member of this group, Mandy Rosal!" he announced before falling off stage which prompted for Yoshika Miyafuji to run and check him in panic.
Mandy Rosal let's out a sigh of disbelief, "Why Demoman of all people?" she uttered in question before making her way towards the stage.
As Mandy joined everyone on stage, Bulma Briefs steps forward, "Greetings, everyone." she greeted, "The next members of this team is quite an exotic pair." she commented, "Anyway, you're part of this team, Isamu Oohori and Shuuhei Shinozaki!" she announced with everyone cheering in response.
And all of a sudden, a pair of young men stood up from the top of the bleachers with their arms raised up high in triumph, getting everyone's attentions.

Rookie Trainee

"Hooray! We made it! We made it!" Oohori and Shinozaki in delight.
Hector watches as the pair made their way on stage while skipping like dorks, "Who are these jokes?" he questioned in disbelief.
"A bunch of minor characters from a certain anime/manga that managed to debut in this fic first before the main protagonist." Lavi uttered with a blank look.
As Oohori and Shinozaki joined everyone on stage, Major Richard Stronghold then steps forwards, "AND NOW..." he uttered loudly, "LAST BUT NOT HE LEAST, THE LEADER OF THIS TEAM IS NONE OTHER THAN THE MR. JERK HIMSELF, DAN MANDEL!" he announced which caused everyone to gasped in shock.
"Holy shit!" Kanji Tatsumi cursed.
"You got to be kidding us!" Yosuke Hanamura squawked in disbelief.
"Why him of all people?!" Yukiko Amagi questioned in shock.
Rex Salazar then looks around, "Speaking of which..." he uttered, "... where is that son of a bitch?'' he questioned.
Suddenly the doors of the auditorium flung open, everyone then turns around to see Dan Mandel marching inside, pushing and shoving anyone on his way before climbing on stage.
"All right!" Dan begun, "Listen up and listen well!" he demanded, "I'm the leader of this team and you all do as I order!" he declared, "And my first line of orders is that get all of yourselves ready because we're going on a mission today!" he announced, much to everyone's shock.
"Dan!" Elise chastised, "The team just got recently formed!" she pointed out, "We can't go on mission that quick!" she reasoned.
"She had a point." Mandy said in agreement.
Dan scoffed in response, "Well too bad for you because the staff already approves of it!" he replied.
"What?!" Chris exclaimed in shock.
Double D chuckled in response, "I apologize everyone but Dan already figure out long time ago that he'll become the leader of this team." he revealed, "Earlier today, Louie told him about the assembly and later on Dan demanded a team mission from me, I was reluctant at first but President Mario approves of it." he explained, "So here we are, the recently form team will taking on a mission right off the bat." he stated.
"I see..." Ninja Dave uttered, "Well, I got nothing to do today, so I'm with Dan in this mission." he accepted.
"Yeaaahh~ I would love the test myself in this mission.'' Kafuu admitted with a creepy smile.
Trixie sighed in disbelief, "Trixie slightly regrets getting promoted...'' she grumbled.
"Pray tell what's this mission all about?'' Elise asked.
"We're going to avenge a village being oppressed by it's tyrannic empire!" Dan declared with a fist raised up high.
"Really?" Chris uttered in surprise, "I'm surprised that your doing revenge but not for yourself.'' he stated.
Dan scoffed once more, "Revenge doesn't always apply to myself, it applies for everyone.'' he replied which surprises everyone, "So are you all in or out?!'' he demanded.
Brick saluted in response, "Sir! We'll take on this mission!" he accepted.
Dan nodded, "Good! Now let's move out!" he commanded with everyone nodding in response before making their way towards the exit.
"By the way Dan!" Louie called out, "What will be the name of your team?" he asked.
"You already know the answer!" Dan replied.
Louie chuckled in response, "Everyone..." he spoke, "... let's give the DAN ARMY the best of luck!" he beckoned with everyone cheering in response, "And this concludes this assembly and you're all dismissed." he declared.
"Wow, I think I just saw Dan in a different light.'' Hector confessed.
"You, on the other hand, just got darker.'' Luna pointed out.
"Ugh, would everyone please just let it go!" Hector grumbled.
Aka Red and Nodoka Takehara then walks by pass him, "We doubt it." the former said with a smirk which made Hector slump down in defeat.
bzzzttt...
The next morning in Neo-City, we head towards the Dormitory Village where we see Anna Maymorie and Emiri Yamanaka walking down the hallways with the former looking all grumpy.
"Grr..." Anna growled, "... damn that Taco..." she cursed, "... he just had to ruin my morning!" she uttered in annoyance.
"Calm down Anchan..." Emiri advised, "Taco meant no harm." she reasoned.
"No harm!" Anna squawked, "Taco almost messed up the documents that I carefully sorted last night!" she exclaimed.
"Well at least, Gotanda-san helped you out on that.'' Emiri pointed out.
Anna sighed in response, "Yeah, I'm really grateful for him." she admitted.
The two then arrives at a corner where they came across Marcus "The Kane" McGee, Aria "Arinah" Sakurada and Eddy Skipper McGee with travel bags and trolleys in hands.
"Hey guys!" Anna greeted, "Where are you guys going?'' she asked.
"Good morning, Anna and Emiri.'' Arinah greeted back, "The three of us just booked a flight to Sakurada Kingdom." she answered, "Marcus still doesn't remember anything, so I figure out that maybe visiting home might help him remember." she furthered, "Plus, this is a chance for him to reunite with our family.'' she concluded.
"I'm kinda curious meeting the family who took me in before I came to the McGee's life.'' Marcus admitted.
"And Eddy is coming with you?'' Emiri pointed out.
"Arinah suggested that I should come along since I'm also Marcus' brother. " Eddy answered, "Plus, meeting their family isn't actually a bad idea.'' he admitted.
"What about your teams?" Anna asked.
"We told the staffs that we're taking a few days off, so I'm leaving the leadership position to Randy in case our team is needed for a mission and Arinah's team can managed without her." Marcus explained.
"I see." Anna uttered, "Well I wish you guys the best and be careful on your way there.'' she advised.
"Don't worry Anna, we'll do." Arinah reassured with a bow.
"Take care.'' Emiri expressed.
And with that, Marcus, Arinah and Eddy made their leave, deciding to leave Neo-City for the time being to get some answers Marcus needed.
