Tales of the Multiverse Bit 130

What have we done?! We're bad people! We must repent for our sins!

After getting blasted by Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy with the Heel-Face Turn Blastah, Billy Numerous, Gizmo, Kyd Wykkyd, Mammoth & See-More decided to turn in a new leaf while Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya, the Creepy Guy, Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg watches in awe and disbelief.

~~000~~

Meanwhile back in the Watcher's Realm and it's currently evening, and the Mississippi Four are currently back in their respective homes and are busy packing up their things for their new life.

Inside Oswald "Ozzy" Wizner's home, we see the boy busy putting clothes on a huge luggage case when a couple entered the room.

"My! That's a lot of stuff you're taking." a gruff elderly voice commented in amusement.

Ozzy turns around and saw an elderly couple standing behind him, "Grandpa! Grandma!" he called out in joy.

Ranch Owner

Roland Wizner

Roland is a tall elderly man about 63 years old with bald cut gray hair, brown skin, strong build, close shaved beard and mustache and brown eyes. He wears a white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up until the forearms under a black vest, blue jeans with a belt and brown cowboy boots.

Ranch Owner

Alison "Ali" Wizner

Ali is an elderly woman whom is inch shorter than Roland with a light brown skin, medium bust, a few wrinkles, long black hair with some gray streaks in a low ponytail, slim build and gray eyes. She wears a white long sleeved button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a pair of dark blue jeans with a belt, a Colt Army Revolver Pistol holstered on her right hip, a pair of brown cowgirl boots and a pair of square rimmed glasses.

Ozzy made his way towards his grandparents and gave them a hug, "How are ya my boy?" Roland asked while hugging his grandson back, "I heard that ya got recruited by some out of this world organization." he stated with a smile.

"Mom and Dad told you?" Ozzy assumed.

Roland nodded in confirmation, "Your parents aren't the type of persons to keep a secret from their families, after all, Wizners don't keep secrets from family." he replied, "My boy, I can't help but say that I'm so proud of ya, now that yer going out there to save worlds." he expressed with a smile.

Ozzy smiled back, "Thanks, Grandpa." he said in gratitude.

"By the way, I have something for ya." Roland mentioned before handing Ozzy a belt that contains revolver bullets, a shoulder bag with shotgun shells, two Colt Single-Action Army Peacemaker Revolver Pistols, a Winchester 1897 Pump-Action Shotgun, a lasso, a trench coat and a brown cowboy hat, "I want you to look sharp." he stated with a wink.

"Thanks Grandpa!" Ozzy replied in joy.

Ozzy wasn't the only one who received gifts from their families.

Bzzzttt...

For Joel "Joey" Hollard, a bullet proof vest from his parents and something that he wanted: an N-Strike Modulus Regulator Blaster from Cameron "Cam" Hollard and for Kylie Hollard a bullet proof vest from her parents, a crafted magical girl-esque wand from her dad, a specially made magical girl outfit from her mom and some accessories and a bag that she turned to her magic items from Elizabeth "Lizzie" Hollard while Suzuka "Suzie" Takahashi got a gray scarf with dark red tips from Sam Takahashi, a Shirasaya Wakizashi and two black tactical zipper utility pouches: one containing Shurikens and one containing Smoke Bombs from her mother and from her father, one of the Takahashi's family heirlooms: a Serrated Ninjato named Yorukaze.

Bzzzttt...

The scene then changes inside the Hollard twins' home where we see the twins already finished packing up their stuffs.

"You done packing up Kylie?" Joey asked while putting the last of his clothes in his travel bag.

"Yep! I sure am!" Kylie confirmed cheerfully while closing her own travel bag.

"Kids! Dinner's ready!" their mother, Abigail "Abby" Guzman-Hollard, called out.

"Coming!" the twins replied.

"Hope both of you worked up an appetite after packing!" Abby added, "I've made your favorite~!" she chimed and upon hearing that got the twins excited especially Kylie.

"Yum! Mom's special Adobo!" the younger twin exclaimed while hopping in excitement.

"Man, guess we better enjoy the night then." Joey beckoned, "This'll be the last time we get a chance to have some of Mom's homemade cooking for a while." he pointed out.

"Well, Mom's cooking is good, but not as good as mine!" Kylie teased.

"Oh really?" Joey uttered with a raised eyebrow, "But whenever you eat Mom's cooking, I'd catch you secretly shedding tears depicting how much you missed eating her cooking whenever it's those rare times that she gets a turn at cooking and you were just hopping in excitement just now when Mom told us what was for dinner." he shared with a teasing smile.

"Shut up!" Kylie squawked with puffed red cheeks while Joey laughed like a hyena.

Suddenly, the sound of ringing was heard and it came from Kylie's smartphone.

"Oh! It's Edna!" Kylie cheered in excitement and upon seeing that it was a video call from one of her close friends before turning to Joey with a certain expression.

Not even bothering to ask, Joey shrugged his shoulder in response, "Sure, go ahead, just don't take too long." he advised before leaving the room and made his way towards the dining area.

After Joey left, Kylie answered the call and her phone viewed a video of a teenage girl.

The teenage girl shares the same height as Kylie. She had a light-brown complexion and had a petite appearance, she had a short messy black hair with a pink butterfly hairpin and she had black-colored eyes. She wears a blue baggy hooded sweater, green miniskirt, white socks and light-blue & white sneakers. This is Edna Wong, one of Kylie's close friend.

Oxford, Mississippi Resident

Edna Wong

"Hi Kylie!" Edna greeted with a wave through Kylie's smartphone.

"Hey Edna! How's it going?" Kylie greeted back cheerfully with a wave.

"It's going great!" Edna replied with an equally cheerful demeanor, "Anyway, Kylie, I've been thinking about going out to the mall tomorrow to catch a movie with you and Allie." she shared, "Wanna go?" she asked.

Kylie responded with a rather nervous expression, "Uhhh..." she uttered as she is unsure of how to respond to that considering that tomorrow's the day that she, Joey and the rest of the M4 were leaving to another dimension.

Edna took noticed Kylie's nervous expression, "Hmm? What's wrong?" the Asian girl asked..

"You see..." Kylie uttered hesitantly, "I don't think I'll be able to hang out with you guys for a while." she replied with a sad look.

"What?! Why not?" Edna exclaimed in shock because usually whenever Kylie or herself would invite either of them to hangout, they would accept the invitation in a heartbeat but strangely this time around, Kylie declined.

"You see..." Kylie uttered while trying to find an excuse, she can't just tell Edna that she and her brother are joining an organization from another dimension set out to defend the multiverse. Kylie then sighed before saying "You see... this is kinda all of a sudden but..." she trailed off.

"But what?" Edna pressed on while listening closely.

Kylie took a deep breath before speaking in a fast pace, "My brother and I will be leaving home for a boarding school somewhere abroad!" she blurted out with her eyes closed and despite her rather fast reply, Edna fully understood what she said and responded by staring at her in silence which took Kylie took notice, "Huh?" the younger Hollard uttered in confusion before slowly opening her eyes to see Edna's expression which is currently blank at the moment.

Then all of a sudden...

Edna exploded, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU'RE LEAVING HOME FOR ABROAD!" she demanded in a mix of shock and disbelief.

Edna's outburst started Kylie that she started juggling her phone in surprise before putting it down on a table while making it stand allowing Edna to still see Kylie.

"I'M SO SORRY EDNA!" Kylie apologized, "THIS HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE ALL SO SUDDENLY, SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" she reasoned frantically while clapping her hands together in apology.

Unseen to Kylie's view, Edna's hands were shaking in anxiety, the Asian girl then took a deep breath before calming down, "It's all right." she reassured, "I know you had your reasons for leaving, so I'll respect that." she said with smile but behind that forced smile, she was distraught at Kylie suddenly leaving.

"I promise that I'll keep in touch with you and Allie okay and again I'm sorry." Kylie apologized once more

Edna shook her head, "Like I said it's okay." she reassured, "I should get going." she said, "Feel free to call me anytime Kylie!" she requested, "I'll be waiting!" she declared.

Kylie sighed, "Okay! Bye!" she replied before hanging up.

"Hoy~! Babaeng mabagal! Oras na para kumain~!" the voice of Abby called out from the dining area, "Better come down before it's all gone~!" she chimed.

Kylie took a deep breath before exhaling it, "Coming~!" she replied while returning to her cheerful self and went down to join her family for their last night of having dinner together as a family before leaving the next day.

Unbeknownst to Kylie at that time, she failed to notice the hidden S.O.S. from the call she got from her friend.

Bzzzttt...

The following day at around before nine o' clock, the Mississippi Four, alongside their respective families, are seen gathered at the entrance of the Takahashi residence with the kids' luggage while Joey carrying all his Nerf weapons in about a dozen plastic crates (including ammo) on a long four-wheel hand cart.

The four were now wearing different outfits:

Joey is currently wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt with black sleeves under an open black casual vest and an open gray short sleeved zipper camo hoodie, a pair of black military tactical fingerless gloves, black tactical cargo pants with a belt, a Nerf N-Strike Elite Disruptor Blaster holstered in a specially made custom hip holster on his right hip, a Nerf N-Force Marauder Longsword sheathed on his left hip and a pair of gray combat boots.

Kylie's hair is once again held in a low ponytail by a white scrunchie and she's currently wearing a white bell sleeved blouse under an open bluish gray sleeveless casual blazer vest, a silver star shaped pendant around her neck, a blue bangle bracelet with a silver star shaped jewel on her left wrist, a blue jeweled ring on her right ring finger, a knee length light blue pleated skirt, a light blue hip-bag with a star crest on her left hip, white knee length socks and cyan sneakers. She also carries a blue colored baton strapped on the left side of her waist, hidden within her vest.

Ozzy is currently wearing a white V-neck t-shirt under a dark brown open trench coat, a brown cowboy neckerchief around his neck, black leather fingerless gloves, black jeans with a gray belt that carries revolver bullets, two Colt Single-action Army Peacekeeper Revolver pistols holstered on either side of his hips, throwing knives on the back of his belt, a lasso also on his left side and a pair of black Nike running shoes.

And for Suzie, she has her red hairpin on the right side of her hair again and she's currently wearing a black t-shirt over a dark gray long sleeve shirt, a gray and dark red tipped scarf with two red crests of the Takahashi family which is the Maruni Chigai Takanoha mon composed of two crossed hawk feathers within a circle on either sides of the scarf around her neck with the scarf tips facing her back, a pair of dark red fingerless gloves, a gray pleated skirt with a dark red belt over dark red short leggings, two black tactical zipper utility pouches: one with a shuriken crest on her right hip and one with a smoke crest on the back of her left hip, a sheathed Ninjato strapped on her left side, a Shirasaya Wakizashi on the back of her waist, gray socks and black and red shoe laced running shoes.

"Are you sure, you got everything you need kids?" James "Jim" Hollard asked.

Joey nodded in response, "Don't worry dad, we got everything we need." he reassured.

"Just be careful out there and don't cause any trouble for anyone." Jessie Cooper-Wizner advised.

Ozzy groaned in response, "Yes Mom." he replied.

"And always listen to your superiors." Jason Takahashi added, "Whether they be older than you or if they're on the same age as you, if they hold a respectable standing, the you must treat them all in utter respect." he stated.

Suzie nodded, "Hai!" she replied.

Suddenly a blue portal appeared in front of them and out came Louie, "Have you finished packing up?" the God of Generosity asked with a smile and they answered with a nod, "Good! I believe it's time we left." he beckoned.

The kids then said their goodbyes with their families through hugs and kisses and their families told them to e-mail them once in a while but it took about a couple of minutes before the kids could finally leave because apparently some of them wouldn't let them go.

For Ozzy, his mother wouldn't stop kissing him goodbye, "Mooom! I gotta go!" he groaned.

"In a minute Ozzy, in a minute." Jessie reasoned while kissing his cheeks.

"Just enjoy it while you can son." Peter Wizner advised, "Your mom won't be able to do this thing in a long while." he pointed out.

For Joey and Kylie, their mother wouldn't let them go... literally... as she had the twins in an iron grip hug.

"Mom, pwede po bang, ibitawan na po kami?" Joey pleaded in a strained voice.

"Hindiiiiii!" Abby protested a bit childishly as she was shedding a bit of tears, "I don't want to let go of my babies!" she cried out.

"Mommy, yo kwoshing meeee!" Kylie exclaimed in a muffled voice with her face smooshed against her mother's chest.

"You better listen to Kylie dear." Jim advised, "'Cause they won't last long if you keep 'em like that." he reasoned.

"Ilang segundo na lang, promise!" Abby pleaded in Tagalog.

And as for Suzie... apparently in her case it was the other way around as she didn't want to say goodbye to her family yet, especially her mother as she was hugging her tightly.

"O-okaaasaaaaan!" Suzie whimpered with her head buried in her mother's chest while shedding a few tears.

"Daijoubu-desu, Suzuka." Yukari "Yuka" Takeo-Takahashi whispered with a gentle smile while gently stroking her only daughter's hair, "Everything's gonna be alright." she reassured.

"Hey now, there's no need for tears." Jason advised while wiping away Suzie's tears, "You're a big girl now, aren't you?" she pointed out.

Suzie nodded before wiping the rest of her tears, "Hai!" she sniffed.

"That's our little shinobi!" Jason cheered while ruffling a bit of Suzie's hair, making her smile.

"See you around Suzie, good luck." Sasamaru "Sam" Takahashi encouraged while sharing a sibling hug with his little sister.

"Bye, see you around, Onii-chan." Suzie replied.

"Good luck out there you two, if you run into some our least favorite villain characters out there, kick their butts for me will ya?" Cam advised to the twins after their mother finally let them go.

"Yeah! And if you meet a certain someone out there, tell 'em that I said 'Hi~'." Lizzie added with a wink while referring to one of her favorite anime characters.

"Sure, but no promises you two." Joey replied.

"Bye! We'll see you again soon! Paalam!~" Kylie expressed cheerfully but way deep inside, Kylie will miss her family, especially her mom and there was also the thought of the talk with her friend Edna the night prior.

And with their final goodbyes said, the four kids gathered up their luggage and entered the portal.

Louie then turns to their families, "Don't worry..." he spoke, "I'll make sure that your children are safe..." he reassured. "... even if it means sacrificing my very short life to protect them, then I will." he declared before entering the portal, much to their shock.

"Dad, what do you think he meant by that?" Lizzie asked in concern.

Jim didn't answer her question while staring slowly at the vanishing portal with a worried look, not only for their children but for Louie as well.

After a bit of chatting, the three families said goodbye to one another until the next time they meet as they went their separate ways.

Unbeknownst to either of them, three strange lights were seen making their way towards different directions, one of them went towards the Takahashi residence while the other two went towards the direction the Hollard family went to.

Bzzzttt…

A few minutes later, the Mississippi Four arrives at Neo-City and more specifically in front of the Training Facility, and the quartet couldn't help but marvel at the sight with wide eyes.

"This..." Joey uttered.

"... is..." Ozzy continued.

"... the..." Suzie furthered.

"... Heroes Coalitions?!" Kylie finished.

"Whoooaaa...!" the Mississippi Four uttered in awe.

Louie chuckled at their reactions, "This never gets old." he mused, "Children, I welcome all of you to Neo-City's Heroes Coalitions!" he declared.

A few minutes later, Louie told them to enter the main entrance hall and sit on a couch while waiting for their guides. The four did what they told and waited for whoever will give them the grand tour.

Joey started fidgeting with his hands while nervously shaking, "Guys, we need to be in our best behavior if we want to make a good first impression." he advised, "And I mean it!" he slightly shouted.

Joey was nervous and excited at the same time, in fact he was 'nervicited', which explains his sudden attitude towards his sister and friends.

"Okay, okay man, just chill out dude!" Ozzy exclaimed.

"Deep breaths Joey, deep breaths." Kylie instructed while calming down her elder twin by rubbing his back as Joey took a few deep breaths of air as he calmed down.

And about a minute later, they saw two people approaching them and much to their surprise it's Eddward "Double D, Edd" Marion Smith and Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke whom they recognized as one of the characters of the TV shows and Animes that they watched.

Kylie also can't help but admit that Double D is a lot cuter, now that he's a teen.

"Greetings newcomers." Double D greeted, "I am Eddward Marion Smith, also known as Edd with two Ds, which is why everyone calls me Double D." he introduced himself, "I am currently the Heroes Coalitions' Chief Operating Officer and right next to me is my girlfriend and currently the Heroes Coalitions' Chief Brand Officer, Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke." he stated while introducing Minna at the same time..

"It's nice to meet all of you." Minna greeted with a bow.

"EEEEEHH! DOUBLE D OF ED, EDD N EDDY AND MINNA WILCKE OF THE STRIKE WITCHES!" they shouted out of surprise while jumping to their feet, surprising their tour guides.

They were further surprised when the two revealed that they're in a relationship.

Ozzy goes to Double D and puts his arm around his shoulder, "Whoa ho ho~!" he hollered, "Double D! My man!" he cheered, "You look different now!" he commented rather giddily.

Double D facefaulted in annoyance before gently grabbing Ozzy's arm and then judo-flipping him towards the floor, "I understand than kinship is part of friendship." he admitted, "But don't get too chummy to a person you just met." he advised.

"Crystal, sir..." Ozzy wheezed.

And then like a blur, Kylie runs up to Minna and started cuddling her while squealing in excitement, "KYAAA!" she squealed in delight, "I DON'T BELIEVE IT! MINNA WILCKE! SHE'S SO CUTE!" she exclaimed.

"Wait!" Minna squawked in response, "What are you doing?!" she questioned, "Let me go!" she demanded.

And then Suzie noticed Joey about to blow before turning to Kylie, "Kylie, you should stop before Joey blows a fuse." she said bluntly which caused Kylie to stop before rubbing her head sheepishly while slightly backing away.

Joey then clears his throat, "Sorry about that, this is what happens when we meet our favorite characters but unlike these two, Suzie and I are more composed." he explained in apology, "Although, I've never seen Kylie act this way before, I know she loves cute stuff but she's never gone that hug crazy before." he thought in concern that his little sister, due to how she behaved all of a sudden just now.

Double D raised an eyebrow before shrugging his shoulders, "Well at least two of you know the term 'personal space'." he stated, "Anyway, can we get your names?" he inquired.

Joey immediately turns nervous again and a bit excited before speaking with a salute, "Sir, I am Commander Joel Hollard sir!." he introduced himself, "But you may address me as Joey and these are my cohorts!" he said before turning to his sister, "This is my younger twin sister Corporal Kylie Hollard." he started.

"Hi!" Kylie greeted while waving and showing a cheerful smile.

"Our friends Sergeant Oswald Wizner." Joey continued.

"Hey there, you can call me Ozzy." Ozzy greeted with a grin.

"And Lieutenant Suzuka Takahashi." Joey finished.

"A pleasure to meet you, you can call me by my nickname Suzie." Suzie greeted with a bow and a soft smile.

Double D and Minna raised their eyebrows while Kylie clapped her hands, "Sorry about that but my brother can get nervous or excited sometimes when he's around Military officers like you Minna and he tends to introduce us by the military ranks given to us." she explained in apology.

Double D shrugged his shoulders in response before speaking, "Anyway before we start this tour." he began, "Let me remind you that your world is a highly kept secret that only the Supreme Gods and the staffs know." he reminded, "I suggest that the four of you would refrain from talking about your world, if someone asks where you come from just give them a different answer." he advised, "We need to keep the existence of your world a secret as much as possible." he stated, "Understood?" he inquired which they replied with a nod, "Good." he said with a smile, "Shall we start this tour?" he beckoned.

Later that day, Minna and Double D brought the Mississippi Four at the Training Camp's cafeteria where the only people present at the moment are Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya and The Creepy Guy whom are gathered at one table playing a game of Texas Hold 'em with chips and cans of beer scattered around them.

"This is Training Camp's cafeteria but I think the four of you know the purpose of this place.'' Minna stated.

"I'll say..." Ozzy uttered, "I never seen a cafeteria this big!" he admitted.

Kylie then looks around and noticed four boys at one table, "Uhm, who are those guys?'' she asked with a finger pointed at the boys.

Double then turns to the direction she is pointing, "Oh! Those are your fellow trainees.'' he answered, "Those are Buccaneer "Buckles" Murphy, Gillian "Gill" Norman, Akatora Tsujimiya and the Creepy Guy.'' he introduced.

"Creepy Guy?'' Joey repeated.

Minna sighed, "You'll see.'' she uttered.

Double D, Minna and the Mississippi Four then made their towards the table where Buckles noticed them, "Hey! Double D and Minna!" the silver-haired boy greeted, "Who are these four?" he asked while pointing a finger at the newcomers, "New recruits?" he assumed.

Double D nodded in confirmation before introducing the Mississippi Four to the Unsuccessful Four, the Unsuccessful Four then introduced themselves to the Mississippi Four.

"Nyahaha!" Akatora chuckled, "I hope ya all enjoy your time here!" he encouraged with a grin.

"Keh-keh-keh!" the Creepy Guy chortled, "It's-a-nice meeting all-of-you.'' he greeted with a grin.

Joey is not bothered by his face but the same thing can't be said for Suzie whom is somewhat disturb by his appearance while Kylie just tilts her head and Ozzy is slightly unnerved.

"Uhh, dude..." Ozzy uttered, "... what's up with your face?'' he asked.

The Creepy Guy look at him in confusion, "Is-a-there something-a-wrong with-my-face?'' he asked.

"Yeah! Big time! What's up with those tapes in your eyes and that mouth of yours!" Ozzy pointed out indecorously.

"Hmm, what-are-you talking about?'' the Creepy Guy questioned in confusion, "There-is-nothing wrong with-my-face.'' he said.

"Seriously? Can you believe this guy?'' Ozzy asked before turning towards everyone but only to see Double D & Minna with their arms in a cross shaped with the former mouthing 'drop it', Ozzy then turns to the rest of the Unsuccessful Four whom all had their arms in a cross with Buckles mouthing 'drop it'. Despite his confusion, Ozzy did what he was told, "You know what forget it.'' he conceded which made the Creepy Guy grin for some reason.

"B-B-But g-g-guys a-a-a-are y-y-y-you s-s-sure that t-they a-a-are r-r-really n-new r-r-r-recruits?" Gill questioned in panic, "W-What i-i-if they're a-a-a-actually s-s-spies s-sent b-by the D-D-Dark F-Forces?!" he accused nervously.

"Nothing to worry Gill, Louie recruited them himself.'' Double D reassured before turning to the Mississippi Four, "I apologize about that." he apologized, "Gill had been a nervous-wreck due to some certain events.'' he reasoned.

"It's fine." Joey reassured, "No harm done." he reasoned while wondering why Gill though that they're spies.

"Keh-keh-keh!" the Creepy Guy chortled, "But who-a-knows, maybe one-a-day, one-a-of Gill's theories might-a-be proven-a-right!" he said, "Like that-a-theory he had-a-once that their-a-might be an agent-from-another organization attending this-a-facility!" he shared in excitement.

"Nyahaha! I couldn't agree more!" Akatora chuckled in agreement, "Maybe that agent is amongst the people sitting in this table!" he assumed.

Buckles deadpanned, "Where did you get with that conclusion?!" he questioned in disbelief.

As the Unsuccessful Four began to bicker amongs themselves, Minna turns to the rest, "Well..." she uttered, "... shall we continue our tour somewhere else?'' the Karlsland Witch beckoned.

Joey nodded in response, "Well appreciated ma'am!" he complied.

A few minutes later, Double D, Minna and the Mississippi Four arrives in the Training Area and the moment they entered, the Mississippi Four quickly froze in place when they saw everyone staring at them.

"Tough crowd." Joey uttered.
