After ceasing their shouting inside an alley after a bloke berated them, Joey Hollard, Kylie Hollard, Oswald "Ozzy" Wizner and Suzuka "Suzie" Takahashi stared in shock towards what was on the ground which was revealed to be two unconscious persons which they recognized.
The first person is a young man with a rather tall stature and he had a messy black hair. He wears a black high-collared military jacket with yellow-linings and buttons over a grey-colored shirt, a black-colored belt with golden-colored buckle is wrapped around his midsection, he wears black pants and knee-high black boots. This is Willem Kmetsch.
Guardian Wings Military, 2nd Grade Technical Officer
Willem Kmetsch
The second person is a teenage girl with a short stature and she had silver-white hair tied up into twin ponytails by brown laces. She wears a purple-colored long-sleeved dress with a wide collar and white ribbon tie over a white-colored knee-length white long-sleeved dress with brown-colored tribal-like designs at the bottom, and she wears brown high-collared shoes. This is Nephren Ruq Insania.
Fairy House Leprechaun
Nephren Ruq Insania
"Are those..." Joey uttered, "Willem and Nephren?" he assumed in shock.
The four remembered them as two characters from the anime called WorldEnd: What do you do at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us? and the last time they saw them was that they were attacked by the Beasts before they were saved by Chtholly Nota Seniorious, a friend of Nephren and Willem's lover, who sacrificed her life to save them and at the end of the anime, both of their fates were unknown except that it was indicated that they were still alive.
It was unknown to Joey and his friends of what happened to them after that until now.
The four continued to stare for a few seconds before Joey was the first to snap out of his shock which was replaced with a determined look before approaching Nephren and lifted her up carrying her on his back with her leaning on his back with her arms over his shoulders while he held her legs.
As he carried the fairy weapon soldier, Joey turned to the rest of his friends and sister, "Ozzy, can you lift him up?" he asked while gesturing a hand towards Willem which snapped them from their shock.
Ozzy nodded in response, "Right!" he complied before going over to Willem and put one of his arms over his shoulder and slowly lifted him up to his feet albeit still unconscious.
Joey then took notice of something on the ground which was next to Nephren before picking her up, it looked like a sword of some sort which he assumed to be Nephren's weapon, a Carillon or Dug Weapon called Insania.
"How'd that get here? I thought that was lost?" Joey thought while remembering what happened to Nephren's weapon before turning to Suzie, "Suzie can you pick that up?" he asked while gesturing to the sword.
Suzie nodded in response, "Hai!" she complied before picking up the Insania with ease.
Joey finally turned to Kylie, "Kylie, can you use your magic to teleport all of us back to base?" he asked.
Kylie nodded understanding the situation before taking out and extended her Star Rod, "I've been practicing my teleportation magic and hopefully it's improved." she shared.
"Then teleport us directly to the entrance of the Sick Bay." Joey beckoned.
Kylie nodded, "Right!" she complied before twirling her Star Rod while leaving trails of sparkles in its' wake before raising it up high as it shined, suddenly a white magic circle appeared below the group as it shined with white light and sparkles engulfing them.
When the light settled, the whole group disappeared without a trace, "What was that light show just now?" a random voice grumbled in annoyance.
A few minutes later, the Mississippi Four returned to the Training Facility with their unconscious guests and as expected, they appeared in front of the entrance of the Sick Bay via Kylie's Gift, the four then immediately entered and alerted Angela "Mercy" Ziegler of Willem and Nephren's conditions and the two were immediately given medical attention.
After an hour or two, we see Willem and Nephren in the Sick Bay in two separate beds and were still unconscious.
In his bed, Willem started to slightly toss and turn for he was having a dream before his eyes shot wide open which reveal it's black color, "CTHOLLY!" he exclaimed before abruptly sitting up with his hand held out forward.
Willem started to breath heavily before noticing his surroundings and saw that he was in some strange room, "Whoa now!" a voice exclaimed, "Easy there, everything's alright, you're safe." a voice advised in a rather jolly tone.
Willem turns to the direction where the voice came from and saw a large gorilla walking towards him.
The large gorilla had his entire body covered in black fur and he had black skin tone, he had a hairy beard and he had yellow-colored eyes while wearing glasses. He is wearing a white space suit underneath a white-colored body armor with a chest plate, an armored corset and a back & front cod piece. He wears a pair of shoulder pads, arm gauntlets and leg armors with hip pads. His attire also consists of a pair of jet-boosters at the back and an armored headwear. This is Winston.
Overwatch Scientist
Wintson
"W-W-Who are you?" Willem asked.
Winston chuckled in response, "My name is Winston, the gorilla with brain." he introduced himself, "And don't worry." he reassured, "Despite my appearance, I'm not a bad guy." he said.
Willem nodded in response, "Where am I?" he asked.
"You're in the Sick Bay, obviously and as for where this is, this is the Heroes Coalitions' Training Facility." Winston answered.
"Heroes Coalitions?" Willem questioned in confusion.
Winston then began to explain the existence of multiverse, the Heroes Coalitions and as well as the Multiverse Government while provided Willem some visual evidence by using their devices to open a portal that shows the Training Camp and the Vanguard Academy which is enough to convinced him.
"I can't believe it..." Willem uttered, "... I'm in another world." he whispered.
"Four of our trainees found you and your friend lying unconscious in an alleyway in the city and brought you here to be healed." Winston shared.
That got his attention upon hearing the mention of his 'friend', "Nephren!" Willem exclaimed, "Where is she?! Is she safe?" he asked in concern.
"She's alright." Winston reassured before gesturing a hand towards the bed next to him, "She's right over there in fact and she's still asleep." he pointed out as Willem turned to see Nephren fast asleep and leaning on the wall next to her bed was her weapon Insania.
Willem sighed in relief, "Thank you..." he uttered in gratitude, "I really appreciate taking care of us doctor." he said.
Winston chuckled in response, "I appreciate the compliment if I was the one who treated you but it was in fact Dr. Ziegler who healed you two." he admitted, "And technically, I'm not a doctor, I'm a scientist." he clarified.
"I-I see..." Willem uttered.
"Anyway, the doctor went out to get some things and as for the ones who found you two, they went to get a drink, they should be back by now." Winston shared.
As if on cue, the Mississippi Four entered the Sick Bay with bottles of drinks in hands, "Yo Winston! Have they-" Ozzy was saying when they noticed Willem, "Oh you're awake!" he said with a smile.
Winston smiled back, "Ah, glad that you could join us." he mused.
Willem's eyes widen as right in front of him were humans, actual living breathing humans, this was the first time in a long time that Willem got to see humans considering where he came from.
The Mississippi Four then introduced themselves to Willem and the 2nd Grade Technical Officer introduced himself in return.
"So, where did you and your friend come from?" Joey asked despite already knowing.
Willem then explained that he came from a world where the human race almost went extinct at the hands of the fearsome and mysterious "Beasts". The surviving races now make their homes, towns, and cities up on floating islands in the sky to keep out of reach of all but the most mobile of Beasts. Only a group of young girls, dubbed the Leprechauns, can wield the ancient Dug Weapons needed to fend off invasions from those dangerous creatures.
The Mississippi Four and Winston nodded in understanding, "I see." Joey uttered, "Must be hard, being the last of your kind in your world." he said with sullen expression.
Willem sighed in response, "Yeah." he said in agreement.
"So..." Ozzy uttered, "... what was the last thing you remembered before ending up here?" he asked which earned him an elbow to his side from Suzie.
Willem suddenly got a flash of memories returning to him and he responded by telling that he fought the beasts in hand-to-hand combat on the airship deck before seeing Nephren started to slip towards the open bay doors, so he decided to save her by catching her hand. Nephren releases however, when she informs Willem that the Gate is about to open as a result of her venenum usage. Convinced that he won't lose another friend, Willem launches himself from the ship to catch her as they fall to the earth. And the last thing he see is a red-haired Chtholly standing over him where she somehow healed Nephren from her condition before attacking the beasts and activating her own Gate, causing a massive explosion and nearly got caught in if it weren't for a large blue hand saving them away from the blast.
The Mississippi Four and Winston looked on sadly, feeling bad for Willem that he lost someone dear to him with the former group feeling bad the most considering that they watched that part themselves.
Kylie slowly walked over to Willem and gently pulled him into a hug surprising him, "It's okay..." she reassured, "... just let it all out." she whispered while gently stroking his hair.
Willem's eyes widened, for some reason, being in Kylie's embrace felt like being in the comforting arms of his mother, he finally gave in and finally broke down in tears while Kylie continued to comfort him.
Joey, Ozzy and Suzie smiled in response, seeing Kylie's kind nature, despite not knowing Kylie for long, Willem was touched that she was willing to comfort him in his time of grief.
After a couple of minutes, Willem calmed down while Kylie broke the embrace, "Thank you." he said in gratitude.
"You're welcome." Kylie reassured, "And I'm so sorry for your loss..." she apologized before turning to everyone else, "We all are." she added with everyone nodding in response.
"Thank you." Willem said with a smile.
Suddenly, they heard Nephren letting out a groan, "Nephren!" Willem exclaimed in concern.
Nephren slowly opened her eyes, revealing her purple orbs, she then turns to see Willem next to him, "Willem?" she uttered before slowly sitting up. "What..." she uttered, "What happened and where are we?" she asked before taking notice of her new surroundings.
"Well..." Willem uttered before glancing towards the Mississippi Four and Winston before turning back to Nephren, "It's a long story." he replied.
After some introductions, Willem explained to Nephren of what happened to them and that they ended up in another world and how they were found by Joey and his friends. He then broke the news to Nephren of what happened to Ctholly and as expected, Nephren broke down to tears and just like Willem, Kylie comforted Nephren in her embrace until she calmed down.
The group then continued to talk with one another and they got to know one another more and it seemed that Kylie and Nephren were hitting it off and a little later, Dr. Ziegler returned to check on Willem and Nephren.
Bzzzttt...
Later that day in the lounging area of the Training Camp, the Mississippi Four introduced the newly-recovered Willem and Nephren to everyone which includes Jake Long, Shizune Takatsuki, Cal the Exceed, African Wild Dog, Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, Jin Matsuriya, Kyousuke Kagami, Shidou Itsuka, Yoshino, Chacha Akaza, Kimi Satou, Rina Shioi, Sanae Higashihongan, Koutarou Satomi, Chicken, Dash Baxter and Scott Wallis.
And both Willem and Nephren were surprised on how friendly and accepting everyone are, and despite a few jerks mixed among the crowd, they are proven to be good people.
However one presence is not welcome by everyone and that happens to be Hunter Isaac Rey whom is still in a wheelchair and is still recovering from his injuries.
"So, what are you two capable of?" Hunter inquired.
Willem then spoke, "I'm a master of various arts and techniques, including weapon maintenance, which allowed me to stand in the front lines of battle." he shared.
"I had the ability to manipulate my Venenum to increase my speed and power." Nephren shared, "I'm also a trained warrior with ample combat capabilities." she added, "I also had the ability to open the 'Fairy Gate'." she concluded.
Hunter looks at them with impressed looks, "Cool!" he complimented, "How'd you two like to become honorary members of my team?" he asked.
Willem shook his head, "Yeah, sorry but I just got here so I can't join your team just like that" he explained in apology.
Hunter nodded in understanding, "Alright." he conceded before turning to Nephren, "What about you?" he asked, "Care to be part of my team?" he furthered.
Before Nephren could answer, she was suddenly pulled back by none other than Kylie, "NUH UH! NO WAY IN HELL!" the younger Hollard shouted apprehensively with narrowed eyes while holding onto Nehpren protectively, much to everyone's surprise including Nephren.
"Overprotective much?" Sanae questioned.
Kimi then brought out her phone, "This is yuri material." she said before taking pictures of Kylie and Nephren.
Hunter raised an eyebrow, "That reaction is rather unnecessary." he commented, "What the problem?" he asked.
"Don't play dumb!" Kylie exclaimed, "You can't fool me Hunter!" she said, "I saw that look in your eyes, you just want Nephren to be part of your team just because of her powers!" she accused, "Well you're not taking her!" she declared.
"Huh..." Suzie uttered, "Since when did Kylie become such an overprotective Onee-chan?" she commented in amusement.
Joey shrugged his shoulders in response, "Beats me." he replied, "This is the first time I've seen Kylie like this." he admitted in amusement towards his sister's new behavior.
Hunter sighed, "Look-" he was trying to say but Kylie cuts him off.
"Aw, shut up!" Kylie snapped, "Considering your views on leadership and how you're leading your team, there's no way I'd let you have Nephren become part of your team, heck I bet you'd even order her to use her Fairy Gate without hesitation in a last-ditch effort to escape a huge pinch." she accused "And let me remind you..." she uttered, "... using her gate will cost her, HER LIFE!" she added with a shout for emphasis.
That earned a lot of disapproving looks from everyone, "Dude..." Ozzy uttered, "That's just low." said Ozzy shaking his head.
Hunter frowned, "I'm not that kind of person." he said.
"Oh really?" Cal questioned while in his nekomata form with a blank look, "If I remember correctly when we first met, you specifically said... that YOU'RE the leader of this team and whatever YOU say goes?" he reminded which earned him even more disapproving looks from everyone.
And not only that, Nephren wrapped her arms around Kylie as if wanting protection after hearing that and Kylie gently stroke her hair in reassurance while holding onto her protectively.
Hunter frowned even deeper, "Like I said before, I am not that kind of person." he said, "I maybe a control freak and abusive with my authority." he admitted, "But I'm not the kind of person that put others in harm." he shared.
Joey shook his head in disgust, "As expected of you Private Thickhead..." he said with a blank look.
"Yes." Hunter admitted, "I maybe a thickhead but even thickheads had morals." he stated, "You may question my leadership all you want, you may question my worthiness all you want, I am what I am, and I respect others opinions towards me." he said, "Loathe me, hate me, despise me..." he beckoned before turning to Kylie, "... but never accuse me of something I'm not and never accuse of something I would do." he demanded, "I just ask her if she could join my team and she's free to refuse my offer but I'll welcome her anytime if she changes her mind." he stated, "And by just asking that 'simple' question..." he pointed out, "... you all accused me of something I would never do!" he exclaimed, "In fact..." he uttered, "... I don't even know what the Fairy Gate is even capable off, no one told me that it's a life-threatening power." he pointed out, "And even if someone informed me beforehand about this ability, I won't order anyone to use it because I understand that it's dangerous." he declared.
Joey scoffed, "Likely story." he dismissed.
Hunter shook his head, "You don't know me." he uttered, "I'll see myself out then." he expressed, "I got better things to do." he said before wheeling away from everyone.
"Yeah! Walk away, Rey!" Ozzy egged, "No one wants you here!" he declared.
"Don't ever come near to Nephren again, you creep!" Kylie exclaimed.
"I think calling him a creep is going a bit too far." Dac pointed out.
"He deserves to be called one." Joey commented.
"He had the face of a rapist to begin with." Suzie shared.
"Now that's going too far." Dac chastised.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Eric Cartman witnessed everything from another part of the lounge, he managed to record everything in his IPhone before letting out a devious smile.
"Hehehe..." Eric chortled softly, "Keep that up, Mississippi Losers." he egged, "Hunter is slowly succumbing to the hate he is getting and once he is completely broken, I'm taking his team for myself." he declared with an evil grin.
