We're finally here!

Batsu Ichimonji, Hinata Wakaba, Mail, Maximo the Brave Knight and Tyris Flare finally arrives in Neo-City, and are currently standing in front of the Training Camp.

~~000~~

It was another fine day in Neo-City where we head towards the Vanguard Academy for another day in school and standing in front of the entrance was none other than the Mississippi Four composed of Joey Hollard, Kylie Hollard, Oswald "Ozzy" Wizner and Suzuka "Suzie" Takahashi, and it's their first day at the academy.

The Mississippi Four stared at the large building in front them, "Well..." Joey uttered, "Here we are..." he declared, "Vanguard Academy, our new school." he presented.

"I wonder what sort of shenanigans that we'll encounter here?" Ozzy questioned with a smirk.

"Don't know." Kylie replied with a shrug, "But so long as we're in the same class and as well as having a few familiar faces with us, we'll be just fine, right guys?!" she asked with a smile.

"Right!/Hai!" the rest of the Mississippi Four replied before walking to the doors of Vanguard Academy.

As the group entered the main entrance hall, they walked down the halls while looking around in awe at the several people they passed by, some were faces that were familiar to them while some were those they've never seen or met before.

"Whoa..." Ozzy uttered, "... look at all the people attending this school!" he pointed out.

"Yeah, although it's hard to tell if some of them are students or just visitors." Suzie commented after noticing some adults among the students.

"I'll say..." Joey uttered in agreement.

The Mississippi Four kept on walking and they were so busy looking around and admiring the place that they weren't watching where they were going until the four of them bumped onto someone.

"Oops! Sorry about that, we weren't paying attention to where we were..." Joey apologized while turning to who they bumped onto only for him and the rest of the Mississippi Four to stop in their tracks to look in surprise to see who they bumped into.

That someone was none other than the gentle giant Little Joey and it was revealed to be one of his shoes that the four bumped into. The four slowly looked up in awe upon seeing a real live giant in front of them, although they could see Little Joey's full-body and his face, the readers can't.

"O-Oh! It's okay, no harm done." Little Joey reassured with a soft voice.

"Whooooaaaa! A giiiaaant!" the Mississippi Four uttered in awe.

"Never seen a giant before, huh?" Little Joey mused.

Joey shook his head, "Uh, sorry, it's just that this is our first day at school here." he explained, "And yeah..." he uttered, "... this is the first time that we've seen a real live giant and up close too." he admitted.

"Then I'm glad to know that I'm the first giant you've met." Little Joey expressed.

"Thanks!" Joey said, "So, what's your name?" he asked.

"Oh, it's Little Joey." the giant answered.

"Huh?" Joey uttered in surprise.

Kylie, Ozzy and Suzie stayed silent for a few moments before they started to snicker while trying to suppress a laugh but were failing, "U-Umm..." Little Joey uttered in confusion, "Is there something wrong?" he asked.

"Oh, no, no, you didn't say anything wrong." Joey reassured with a wave of a hand, "It's just that..." he began, "You and I have the same name." he revealed.

"Really?" Little Joey uttered in surprise.

"Yeah." Joey confirmed with a nod, "You see, my name is Joel Hollard, but my friends and family usually call me Joey." he shared.

"Whoa, that's a surprise." Little Joey admitted.

Joey nodded, "Yeah, it is." he admitted, "I don't mean to pry but why do they call you "Little" Joey since you are, y'know?" he questioned.

"Oh! It's because I'm the smallest giant from my world." Little Joey answered.

"Oh, I see." Joey uttered in surprise.

"A~nyway!" Kylie interjected while changing the subject, "It's nice to meet you, I'm Kylie, Joey's twin sister and these are our friends Ozzy and Suzie!" she introduced herself and the rest.

"Yo there! I'm Oswald Wizner but you can call me Ozzy!" Ozzy introduced himself with a wave.

"Hello, my name's Suzuka Tahashi but please call me Suzie." Suzie introduced herself with a bow.

"Nice to meet you too." Little Joey greeted, "Anyway, welcome to Vanguard Academy, I hope you enjoy your first day here." he expressed.

"Thanks!" the Mississippi Four replied before Little Joey walked away from the group.

After Little Joey was away from sight, the Mississippi Four except for Joey began to laugh, "Ahahahaha! "Little" Joey?" Ozzy mused, "Now that's priceless considering you're the little one here!" he pointed out while ruffling Joey's hair.

"Ay, tumahimik kayo!" Joey snapped in annoyance while swatting away Ozzy's hand, "At least his nickname makes sense to where he came from." he stated with a sigh as the rest laughed even harder.

After gaining their schedules from headmaster Danny Antonucci, the Mississippi Four proceeded to their classroom for their first period and they noticed that Nephren Ruq Insania is part of their class, much to Kylie's delight.

"Attention class, today we have four new transfer students joining us today." the homeroom teacher announced.

The homeroom teacher is a young woman with a slightly tall stature and a slim figure, she had a long straight brown hair with two long bangs reaching down to her chest, she had brown-colored eyes and wears glasses. She wears a light yellow dress with a black belt wrapped around her waist over a light green shirt and a pair of white heels. She also wears a red pendant around her neck. This is Sawako Yamanaka.

Teacher

Sawako Yamanaka

"Man..." Ozzy uttered, "... who knew we'd have Ms. Yamanaka as our homeroom teacher." he whispered to Suzie whom hummed in response.

"Please introduce yourselves." Sawako beckoned to the Mississippi Four.

"Hello, my name's Joel Hollard but I usually go by the name Joey, pleasure to meet you." Joey introduced himself.

"Hi everyone!" Kylie greeted, "I'm Joey's twin sister Kylie Hollard!" she introduced herself while raising an arm up, "Hope we all get along in the future!" she expressed.

"Yo! The name's Oswald Wizner but I usually go by Ozzy, nice to meet all ya'll!" Ozzy introduced himself.

"Hajimemashite, Takahashi Suzuka desu, but please call me Suzie." Suzie introduced herself with a bow.

Joey then silently scanned the room and took a mental note of those who're part of their class, among them were Nephren, Luluco, Wendy Marvel, Carla the Exceed, Rex Salazar, Jake Long, Shizune Takatsuki, Cal the Exceed, Acacia Greene, Kaban, Serval, Common Raccoon, Fennec Fox, Akira Nova, African Wild Dog, Brown Bear, Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey, Glowworm, Kent, Oklahoma and a few characters that are yet to be introduced.

Joey mentally sighed in relief, "Glad that Fatty and Private Thickhead aren't here." he thought while referring to Eric Cartman and Hunter Isaac Rey who are currently in different classrooms.

Sawako then clapped her hands, "Alright then, please take your seats and we'll begin our lesson." she beckoned which they complied.

Ozzy and Joey were at the second row next to each other with Ozzy to Joey's left, Kylie was at the third row with Joey right in front of her, Luluco on her right and Nephren on her left and Suzie was at the fourth row with Kylie in front of her.

"Hey Luluco! Glad that we're in the same class!" Kylie whispered.

"Glad to be in the same class too Kylie!" Luluco whispered back while sharing a small high five.

As Sawako began class, Joey decided to look around before doing a double-take when he noticed the guy sitting right next to him.

The guy is a tall muscular young man man with a brown skin tone, he had a messy black hair and a facial hair, and his eyes are covered by a red & blue bandana. He wears a yellow-colored barong tagalog over a white t-shirt, blue denim jeans, brown shoes and red fingerless gloves. This is John Leysi, also known as Manila Man.

Superhero

John "Manila Man" Leysi

What got Joey's attention is the attire that John is wearing because it's common formal or semi-formal attire from his mother's home country and assumed that John is a Filipino.

John then took notice of Joey looking at him which made the older Hollard flinched in response, Joey then gave him a nervous smile, "H-Hey?" he greeted.

John responded by giving him a lazy thumbs-up before turning his attention back to Sawako while Joey sighed in relief.

Bzzztttt...

School so far was real nice for the Mississippi Four, they got to learn a lot of new things including stuff they didn't learn about in their home world such as Aty's Summoning Class which caught Kylie and Suzie's interest, Max Tennyson's Alien Studies which all four were interested in and even Professor Dominator's Galaxy class got their attention.

Currently, the Mississippi Four were at the cafeteria having lunch, alongside Nephren and Luluco, Kylie's is seen having nine servings of food, much to Nephren's surprise while Luluco sweat dropped and the rest are unfazed.

John Leysi, Takeo Kurata and Shunya Kengun are also at their table but they're not paying attention to them.

"So, guys, how's your first day here?" Luluco asked.

"It's been going well so far." Joey answered.

"Yeah, we sure learned a lot!" Kylie chirped.

"Have you thought of which club you guys will join?" Luluco asked .

Joey nodded in response, "There's a lot of clubs in the school to choose from." he said while presenting a piece of paper which contained a list of clubs in the school on the table.

"I'll say..." Ozzy uttered in agreement while scanning the list "Hmm, I think I'll choose the Engineering club and perhaps I'll also join the Airsoft Guns club." he shared.

"Okay, the engineering club I get since you were the one to make yours and Kylie and Suzie's watches based from mine but why the Airsoft Guns club?" Joey questioned.

Ozzy shrugged his shoulders, "Meh, could be useful." he reasoned, "What about you?" he asked.

"Well, I'm obviously gonna join the Track and Field club and then there's this interesting club right here." Joey answered.

"Adventures Club? Why that?" Ozzy questioned.

Joey shrugged his shoulders, "Meh, could be fun." he replied.

Luluco looks at Kylie, "What about you Kylie?" the space patrol officer asked, "Which club are you joining?" she furthered.

"Well, it's a no brainer that I'll be joining the Cooking club and perhaps I think I'll join the Fencing club." Kylie answered.

"Why join that?" Ozzy questioned.

"Well, to improve my fencing skills of course." Kylie answered, "Since I could transform my Star Rod into a rapier, joining the Fencing club could help with my rapier skills so that I could be more adept with it." she explained.

"I see." Ozzy replied before turning to Suzie, "What about you Suzie?" he asked.

"Kendo club." Suzie answered rather simply, "I need to keep my kendo skills sharp." she reasoned, "And perhaps I'll also join the Gaming club." she added while looking through the list of clubs.

"Which Gaming club?" Ozzy questioned.

"The one with videogames." Suzie clarified which Ozzy nodded in understanding.

"What about you Nephren?" Kylie asked, "Are you already part of any club?" she asked.

"I'm already part of the Library Committee." Nephren answered, "And I also plan on joining the Flower Arrangement Club." she added.

"Okay, so those are the clubs we're joining but that means the four of us will be separated." Joey pointed out.

Ozzy scratched his head, "Huh..." he uttered in realization, "I guess you're right." he admitted.

"So, I guess we should join a club or two where we can all be together." Joey suggested.

"Okay, so which one?" Kylie asked.

"Hmm..." Joey thought about it, "How about the Computer club?" he suggested, "All four of us are kind of computer geeks I must admit." he pointed out.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Ozzy said in agreement with Suzie and Kylie nodding in response.

"And what else?" Kylie pressed on.

"Hmm..." Joey thought about it while skimming through the list, "Well, we could join the Disciplinary Committee but I think we've been doing that back home long enough." he admitted before his eyes found something, "Ooh! How about the Volunteers Club!" he pointed out, "We could help other people in and outside of the school." he reasoned.

Ozzy nodded, "Looks good enough, plus from what I heard, we could go to other places around Neo-City in this club." he pointed out.

"I'm up for that." Suzie said in agreement.

"Me too!" Kylie chirped before turning to Nephren, "What about you Nephren?" she asked, "Wanna join the Volunteers club too?" she beckoned, "You don't have to use your powers to help others in this club." she pointed out.

Nehpren thought about it before nodding in response, "Okay, I'll join." she accepted with a smile.

"Yay!" Kylie cheered while giving Nephren a big hug while Luluco nervously chuckled with a sweat drop.

"No! Wait! Please stop! I will not repeat again!"

The Mississippi Four, Nephren and Luluco flinched in response upon hearing a loud begging cry, they turned around to see Eric Cartman sitting on the floor, slowly backing away with a hand held up while two young men approaches him with a rather scary glares on their faces.

The first young man had a peach-brown skin tone, a tall stature and a slim yet fit physique, he had a short black hair and facial hair, and he had black-colored eyes. He wears a long black scarf with glitters over his shirtless upper body, he wears a black pants with flake-like designs and a gray-colored belt, and he wears a black laced boots. He wears a black beanie hat with a skull design, a black arm-length glove on his right arm and a black band on his left wrist, and he had a red-colored dragon tattoo on his left chest. This is Shawn Daggers.

The second young man is very tall and a muscular physique, he had a peach-brown skin tone, he had a long red hair styled in a mohawk and is tied in a low ponytail, he had a black facial hair and he had black-colored eyes. He wears a black high-collared sleeveless shier over a black top with skull designs, he wears red pants with net-like designs and red-colored belt, and he wears a black laced boots. He also wears a black & white striped band on his right arm and a black bandages wrapped around his left arm. This is Vance Arrow.

"Please! Please! I'll change! I-BLEGH!" Eric tried to plead but got interrupted when Shawn hits him with a folded chair on the face, "AAAAHH!" MY NOSE!" he screamed in horror.

Shawn kept on hitting Eric hard with the folded chair and afterwards, Vance came up and grabbed Eric by the neck, making the fat boy gasped in horror, Vance then lifted the fat boy up high before slamming him down on a table, smashing table in half while knocking out Eric.

Shawn kicked Eric's head while Vance walked over the unconscious boy before leaving the cafeteria and at the same time, Cornelius Fillmore and Ingrid Third approaches them.

"Take him to the detention room." Shawn beckoned.

Cornelius and Ingrid nodded in response before dragging Eric away while Shawn walks off to a different direction. Back to the Mississippi Four, Nephren and Luluco, all of them had a look of shock of what just transpired and while they felt that Eric deserves the beating, they're still wondering what happened.

"Why did they beat him up like that?" Nephren uttered in question.

"It's actually a disciplinary method." a voice answered as the Mississippi Four, Nephren and Luluco turns around to see Willem Kmetsch walking towards them, "Cartman had been harassing a certain group of people by calling them with various ethical and derogatory slurs." the 2nd Grade Technical Officer shared, "The Public Morals Committee were called and when they warned Cartman to stop, he insulted them as well which resulted of him getting beat up by those two." he concluded.

Ozzy nodded, "Serves him right then." he said in satisfaction.

"I doubt that fat bastard will learn something from this..." Joey admitted, "... but if he's fond of getting humiliated because of his actions then I'm more than welcome to give him that." he declared.
