Tales of the Multiverse Bit 143

That takes care of them.

After then gangsters are beaten senseless by Kouta Fujiki, Crusher the Highlands Goat, Marcus "The Nerd" Reservoir, Sharpshooter Jane, Soaphie and Sora, both leaders of each team went back on getting on each others' throats, much to their teammates' dismay.

~~000~~

It's been a day since both Willem Kmetsch and Nephren Ruq Insania managed to find themselves at home in Neo-City and even managed to enroll themselves in the Vanguard Academy where everyone are ready to welcome them.

Meanwhile a lot of teams and heroes had returned from their successful missions, much to everyone's delight. Unfortunately, Marcus "The Kane" McGee, Aria "Arinah" Sakurada and Eddy Skipper McGee are yet to return and words said that the three decided to extend their leave as they we're going to do something very important in the Sakurada Kingdom.

Though Marcus and Eddy managed to still have a conversation with Malvina Rasputin and Panooki Zarrya via video chat, much to the pale girl and the Desponican's happiness.

It was a nice day in Neo-City as we head inside the cafeteria located somewhere in the Training Facility and at one table, we see Joey Hollard, Kylie Hollard, Oswald "Ozzy" Wizner, Suzuka "Suzie" Takahashi, Rex Salazar, Luna Loud, Taro Yamada, Shizune Takatsuki, Cal the Exceed, Darren Cross, Wakaba Saegusa and Jake Long.

The group are currently having a conversation about the mysterious giant blue hand and the Mississippi Four learned that the reason why Marcus was separated from Arinah and the rest of the Sakurada Family was because of the blue hand.

After hearing this, the Mississippi Four huddled together and had a indistinctly talk which made everyone at their table rolling their eyes in disbelief and annoyance.

"Five bucks they're going to say something over dramatic again.'' Luna wagered.

"I'll take that offer." Cal accepted.

"Cal..." Shizune uttered in disbelief.

The Mississippi Four then broke the huddle. "Okay." Joey spoke, "We made our decision." he announced.

Rex deadpanned, "And pray tell what that is?" he questioned.

"If we ever encounter that giant blue hand..." Joey begun, "WE'LL DESTROY IT!" he shouted in declaration.

"Yeah!" Kylie exclaimed in agreement, "That big blue hand had the nerve to pop out of nowhere and separate family members by grabbing them, taking them somewhere else while making them forget their loved ones!" she listed off, "If that thing ever appears, we'll blast it before it can even grab any of us!" she declared.

"And that giant hand will feel the wrath of our might!" Ozzy added rather dramatically, "Thou shalt not go UNPUNISHED!" he quoted while crushing his empty juice can.

"Hakai!" Suzie shouted in agreement while unsheathing Yorukaze and wreathing it with lightning.

Joey then took out a Nerf Zombie Strike Doublestrike Blaster from inside his hoodie's front, "That arm will know that wrath that is us!" he claimed, "The Mississippi Four!" he introduced, "The Sakurada royal family will be AVVENNNNGGED!" he shouted a bit dramatically while raising up his blaster high in the air.

"AAVENNNNGEEED!" the rest of the four shouted with their weapons also raised up high in the air.

And everyone in the cafeteria responded by giving them an unimpressed expressions and raised eyebrows in utter disbelief while Luna handed Cal five bucks. From the far back, we see Akatora Tsujimiya and the Creepy Guy taking pictures of the four while giggling like crazy, and from another table, Eric Cartman is mockingly laughing at them while pointing a finger on side of his head and then doing a circling motion, declaring that the four are clinically insane.

There was an awkward silence before the Mississippi Four realized that they just embarrassed themselves, the four sat back down while miserably trying to keep their cool when Ozzy spoke "Umm..." he uttered, "...sorry about that..." he apologized, "... we got carried away back there." he admitted before taking a bite of his sandwich while Suzie kept her cool but the red blush on her cheeks betrays that.

"Once Joey gets pumped up, we all get pumped up as well." Kylie shared while twirling her hair.

"Bakit ako..." Joey muttered while pressing a palm to his face.

Taro then spoke, "I know the four of you mean well but at least try to be a little discreet with your thoughts." he advised.

"Besides..." Darren chimed in, "... the blue hand can't be all that bad." he said, "Despite myself being one of it's victims.'' he admitted.

"What do you mean by 'the blue hand can't be all that bad'?" Joey questioned in disbelief, "Did you forget what that thing did to the others?" he reminded.

"Give us reason that the blue hand ain't bad?" Ozzy challenged.

"First things first, the blue hand is the one who brought Willem and Nephren here." Darren begun, "If it weren't for the blue hand, they'd be dead by now." he added, "Also, Galen Marek is thankful for the blue hand for suddenly grabbing him out of nowhere which saved him from his untimely death.'' he pointed out.

"From what Louie told us recently about that blue hand, he discovered that the blue hand just grabs peoples randomly without any hints of malice but I guess it really depends to it's victims of how'll they interpret it's motives.'' Wakaba explained.

Joey though about it, "I see..." he uttered, "... that never crossed my mind." he admitted.

Jake is seen looking at himself with a hand mirror while admiring his pretty face when he noticed two persons entering the cafeteria, "Hey..." he called out, "Aren't those two the new recruits that came from New-New York's Heroes Coalition?" he pointed out.

Everyone then turns to the direction where Jake is pointing and saw two young men walking towards the counter before grabbing food and drinks.

The first young man with a tall stature and a muscular physique, he had a dark-brown hair with a shaved sides, a small mohawk and a mullet at the back, and he had brown-colored eyes. He wears a dark jacket with white & red patches over a white tank top with two green bullet strap around his chest, a dog tag necklace around his neck, dark-blue pants with red, green & blue patches, and dark-grey boots with red & white linings. He also had black & yellow goggles around his head. This is Sanders Fullblaster.

The second young man had a well-rounded physique, he had a messy black hair and he had dark-colored eyes which are hidden by his dark aviator glasses, and a thick facial hair. He wears a black Pac-Man t-shirt, blue pants and brown shoes. This is Lee Garo.

"Heroes Coalitions from New-New York...'' Ozzy uttered in surprise, "What are they doing here?" he asked, "Did they transfer?'' he assumed.

Rex shook his head, "Nope." he replied while taking a sip of drink, "They got axed from that Coalition." he revealed.

This shocks the Mississippi Four, "What? What do you mean?'' Kylie exclaimed in question.

"Fired, released, dismissed, getting the pink slip." Taro listed off while taking a bite of his burger.

"What?!" Joey exclaimed, "Why would they do something like that?" he asked in disbelief.

"Rules my friend, it's the rules." Rex answered, "New-New York's Heroes Coalitions had a large line-up of very strict rules that must not be violated.'' he shared.

"Such as never failing a mission, getting injured in training or using magical healing abilities." Luna listed off, "And from what I heard, the big guy got injured after a successful mission and was out for almost nine months in order to heal, and he then came back for a mission which ended in a failure and got him released." she shared, "While the fat dude had been training with them for eight months and got his neck injured while training which got him axed on the process." she added.

"That's absurd!" Kylie exclaimed in disgust, "Why won't they use magical healing abilities instead?" she asked.

"Mister Donald White, the president of that Heroes Coalitions, doesn't mind magical abilities but he is not a fan of magical healing abilities and rather prefers the standard medical procedures." Taro explained.

"Man! That's too old fashioned!" Ozzy exclaimed in disbelief.

"And if they tried using magical healing abilities in secret, they get axed immediately.'' Wakaba added.

"That's not fair!" Kylie complained.

Rex shrugged his shoulders, "That's how Mister Donald White run things in that Heroes Coalitions." he said while taking another bite of his food.

"He's a disgrace to all leaders of the Heroes Coalitions!" Joey shouted in anger.

"He's SCUM!" Kylie exclaimed in disgust.

"He's despicable!" Ozzy bellowed.

"HAKAI-SURU!" Suzie yelled while slightly unsheathing her Yorukaze.

"If I ever meet him, I'm gonna give him a giggle dart to the butt and tell him that he's the worst leader ever and he's the one who needs to be axed!" Joey declared.

"Yeah!" Kylie, Ozzy and Suzie said in unison with their arms raised up.

Rex finished drinking his soda before slamming it down on the table which surprised the Mississippi Four, "Don't get all cocky there you four, Mister Donald White is not just your typical man in a suit sitting behind a desk doing everyday paperwork." the EVO chastised, "And while his ways managing his employee, heroes and trainees are questionable at best, Mister White is a veteran fighter who has been through many wars, so he is not someone to be messed with." he shared with a serious look.

"So what?" Ozzy mocked, "We've been doing hell-like training for the past year before joining here, so we can take him on!" he declared before receiving an elbow from Suzie.

"I admit that you four are strong fighters thanks to your training, skills and respective Gifts." Rex admitted, "But training experience doesn't translate to years of experience." he pointed out, "And no offense, you guys won't hold a candle against someone like Donald White." he declared, "Or any Ace Fighters." he added, "Mister White is 65 years old with years of experience with one war over another, and even without any magic or Gifts, he is more than a match against anyone." he stated, "He didn't earned his leadership position by just handing it to him, he earned it through experience and accomplishments." he furthered before standing up from his seat, "I don't like him nor his rules but going up against him is a not a good idea and add the fact that he had underlings and heroes that are monsters in battle, makes them even more dangerous.'' he shared before walking off, "We had our rules, they had theirs." he pointed out, "We don't like it but we had to deal with it.'' he said before leaving the area.

"I hate to admit it but Rex had a point." Joey spoke, "A very strong point." he emphasized, "That guy is a leader for a reason." he admitted, "We can hate him all we want but that won't change anything." he stated, "He also had a point that we don't stand a chance against a veteran, and we all know that with our parents." he confessed.

"Yeah..." Ozzy muttered in agreement.

"I'm still going to hit him with a giggle dart." Joey insisted with a grin.

"I don't think that's going to work." Taro replied which swiped the grin on Joey's face, "Because from what I heard, Mister White is extremely durable and resilient." the mixed martial artist shared.

Luna nodded in agreement, "Yeah." she chirped, "I heard that he took down an entire battalion of alien warriors." she shared, "Rumor has it that he can't be killed." she furthered, "And a friend of a friend told me..." she trailed, "... he had laser eyes!" she revealed.

Wakaba facefaulted, "I'm pretty sure the last one is fake." she commented.

Everyone then noticed Sanders and Lee joining Horace Godwinn, Tatsumi Oga & Baby Bel, Ike, Prince Mufasa and Rey Dynamic, and Horace and the boys greeted them with handshakes and fist bumps, much to the newcomers' gratitude.

Darren smiled, "At least those two feels at home here." he said with a smile.

Joey smiled back, "That I can agree with." he said in agreement.
