It is currently night time and it's raining at an abandoned construction site in a city somewhere in Ultimate State of America. Here we see four heroes from the Heroes Coalition fighting a large number of Emotionless that suddenly made it's presence.

He has chains around his neck with a whistle hanging in the middle part and emits a blue electric aura from his eyes. He has two scars running from the top of his both eyes downwards in their own directions. He also has a towel tucked into the back of his pants. This is Nekomaru Nidai.

Yan charges towards one Emotionless with his fist engulfed in fire. Yan then charged his punch before performing a hook at his target's stomach which is then followed by a fiery explosion. Yan then puts his hands together and releases fire energy, creating an explosion in front of him, blasting several Emotionless on the process.
Li charges at one Emotionless and began to hit it with a series of chops and shots before finishing his target with a roundhouse kick. Li then charges his fist with flames before blasting one creature into crisp, he then charges towards another Emotionless and kicks it hard on the back of it's head before finishing it by stomping it's head to bits.
Nekomaru then charges towards two Emotionless as the two creatures charges back at him, Nekomaru collided with the two creature by tackling them down to the ground, he then grabs both creature's heads and began to bang them to the ground, Nekomaru then grabs the tail of one creature before throwing it aside, he then grabs the other creature before snapping it in half like a twig.
Clarity then possesses one Emotionless, taking full control of it's body. Clarity, inside the creature's body, began to attack the other Emotionless by swiping them with it's claws. After critically injuring the creatures, Clarity left the Emotionless' body, she flew up and raised her hands, "Take this! POLTERGEIST ATTACK!" she shouted as she levitates several crates in the air before dropping it down on the creatures, crushing them on the process.
(BGM Ends)
And after 40 minutes of fighting, the heroes has finished eliminating every Emotionless in sight.
Li let's out a sigh, "Wooh! Glad that's done!" he exclaimed in relief.
"There are a lot of Emotionless this time around, so I'm pretty exhausted." Clarity claimed stretching her arms.
Li turns to her with a blank look, "Do ghost even get tired?" he asked indecorously.
Nekomaru let's out a laugh, "Hahaha! We're all exhausted but we did a good job!" he exclaimed as he turns to Yan, "I guess we better call HQ that we're done here.'' he said.
Yan nodded as he got on his communicator, "Hey, Yuuji! Mission accomplished, the Emotionless in this area has neutralized." he reported.
"Good work team!" Yuuji's voice praised, "Please regrouped with the others and head back to HQ.'' he advised, "And by the way, we're having Hot Pot Party at our dorms, hope you guys could join us." he offered.
Yan let's out a chuckle, "Sure, we'll be there." he replied before ending the call, "Yuuji said that we should regroup with the others.'' he said, "And oh... Yuuji just invited us to their Hot Pot Party.'' he said with a smile.
"A Hot Pot Party? That's sounds nice!" Li replied with a smile.
Nekomaru nodded, "Might as well join them." he said, "What a way to celebrate a successful task is to have a Hot Pot Party!" he claimed.
"Yey! A Hot Pot Party!" Clarity cheered, "Been a while since I've been in one.'' she admitted, "Hey, Neko-kun, can I posses you at the party? I can only taste food if I'm possessing someone." she stated.
Nekomaru nodded, "Sure, I don't mind." he replied with a thumbs-up.
Yan chuckled, "Then let's get going and meet up with the others." he said.
As the four walks forward, Li then spoke, "I wonder how are the others are doing with their task?" he mused.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile at another side of the city, we see three people, two girls and a young man to be exact, running through the streets.
The first girl is short with a petite build. Her hair was blonde and styled in pigtails decorated with horseshoes that also served as weights. She had green eyes and her skin was considerably tanned. She wore long leggings and a shirt, which she left open, displaying a bikini/swimsuit top. She had armored plating on her forearms. This is Mez.

The second girl wears clothes similar to those of a shrine maidens, with a loose kimono shirt exposing her cleavage held by a single breast guard on her right breast. She has black hair tied in a spiky ponytail, she has dark eyes and has a scar on her face. She wears armor plating on her forearms. This is Suzuka.

The young man is tall with spiky blond hair and green eyes. He wears a white long-sleeved shirt with black buttons worn underneath a brown vest with a large collar at the top and a tail at the back. Most of the collar is differed from the vest in a dark green color. He wears pants that matches the color of the vest's collar, as well as a matching set of leather gloves and boots. Finally, he wears a green band with a metallic ornament attached around his neck. This is Guy Cecil.

Guy Cecil
The three heroes are running through the rain with Guy covering himself and Suzuka with his shield while Mez covers herself with her arms.
"Ah men... why does it have to rain today of all days!" Mez complained, "It's messing up my hair!" she said.
"Nothing we can do about, Mez, the weather is pretty unpredictable these days.'' Suzuka replied.
Guy chuckled, "We better hurry and meet up with the others." he said, "The faster we get out of this rain, the faster we get back home and the faster we can join the Hot Pot Party.'' he stated.
"Oh boy! I do look forward for that!" Mez mused.
The rain then stops much to their relief, when they suddenly heard a gunshot which cause all three of them to stop running, "Woah! What was that?!" Suzuka asked in surprise while looking around.
"Sounds like a gunshot." Guy muttered, "But to where?'' he asked.
"I think it came from that direction." Mez replied pointing her finger towards an alley.
The trio then ran inside the alley and upon running to an intersection, they were greeted by the sight of a girl standing in front of two dead nuns, lying on the ground with blood spilling from their bodies.
The girl wears a round oval shaped glasses and also has long straight black hair that she keeps in twin tails with curls at the bottom and has light blue eyes. She usually wears a long collared & buttoned, blue and white dress that reaches her knees with a crucifix necklace around her chest, black tights and dark-blue heels. This is Kouko Kaminaga.
Assassin
Kouko Kaminaga
Kouko stares coldly at the dead nuns, "There are no people who've slipped away from home, huh?" she thought, "If that's the case, I'll be the first.'' he declared, "Please watch, Irina-senpai." she thought. Kouko then turns around only to see Guy, Mez and Shizuka staring at her, her eyes widen in shock before immediately pointed her gun at them, "Don't move!" she demanded.
Guy then placed his shield in front of Suzuka and himself while Mez raised her hands defensively, "Easy there... we're not your enemies.'' she said.
"Though I had to ask why did you kill those... nuns?" Guy pointed out.
"Why should I tell you?" Kouko asked rather suspiciously.
"Because from what I could tell...'' Guy says, "... you had a reason why you killed them." he said.
Kouko stares at him for a minute before lowering her gun. Kouko then began to tell them that she came from the NPO, an organization is publicly aiming to be an orphan protection and development program. But in reality, it's an international assassin management training facility and Kouko was a student there and later became an assassin. She then told them that she was a former student at Myōjō Academy and is part of it's 10th year's Black Class who was in a competition with the other students of that class who were trying to kill a girl named Haru Ichinose where the reward is anything what that assassin may want. The reward she wanted was to quit assassination but she failed and got expelled. She is now on the run from NPO as she escaped from them as she tries to gain her freedom.
Guy and the others, in exchange, told her about the Heroes Coalition which she is vaguely familiar with since her higher-ups from NPO has mentioned them a few times.
"I see... that is quite the predicament you have." Guy pointed out.
'Yes... but I am not stopping until I get my freedom." Kouko declared.
"Myojo Academy...'' Suzuka muttered, "Isn't that the school where that runt Nio Hashiri goes?'' she pointed out.
This got Kouko's attention, "You know that girl?'' she asked.
"I see that your familiar with that girl." Guy pointed out, "We know Nio Hashiri by name and appearance but we never actually met her.'' he replied, "She and her boss visited the Coalition weeks ago and had a talk with our higher-ups.'' he stated, "Details about their talk are unknown but I believe it's some sort of alliance." he claimed.
"I see." Kouko said.
"So, what are you gonna do now?'' Suzuka asked.
"I'll keep on fighting and running." Kouko replied, "That's all I can for now." she said.
Guy then spoke, "You know you can come with us." he suggested getting her attention, "Neo-City will be a safe place for you to live and the Coalition can do legal actions against NPO if they ever made their presence in the city." he stated.
"Are you sure about this?'' Kouko asked, "I mean... I'm an assassin." she pointed out.
"That won't be a problem." Guy reassured as he jabs a thumb at Suzuka and Mez, "In fact, these two are executioners, they're like assassins but different.'' he stated, "So, you're welcome to stay in our city, assassin or not." he said with a smile.
Kouko thought about it, "Very well... it's a better option than running away all the time." she said.
"Great! Let's get going, I'm pretty sure the others are waiting for us." Mez pointed out.
And with that, everyone left the alley, leaving the bodies of the dead nun's behind. As the four are gone from sight, a person(?) appears in front of the dead bodies. The person(?) is a short, obese man. He has white, pupils eyes and a noticeably large nose. There is a red line with nodes going from the back of his neck, and down to his wrists, where he where cuffs. He wears a large, sleeveless full body suit, without the head. This is Gluttony.
Homunculus
Gluttony
Gluttony then picks up one body and began to take a sniff off it, he then let's out a large sadistic grin, "Time to eat!" he cheered as his lower jaw opens and expands greatly, as well as the front side of his body opening with it. The ribs open in a way to appear to be a vertical, sharp-fanged mouth, and inside is a dark void and an eye in the center.
Gluttony had a nice feast.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile at another street somewhere in the city, here we see Yan, Li, Nekomaru, Clarity and another man waiting for the others to arrived. The man is a tall, and muscular, possibly in his early or late twenties. He keeps his hair short and black with the exception of his bright red mohawk. He has thick eyebrows, two earrings in his left ear, a bandage on his nose and has blue eyes. His attire is reminiscent of a guerrilla army member's gear in that it consists of a high-collared vest and dark green pants draped with belts and ammo, and black strapped combat boots. This is Tsumugu Kinagase.
Triumph Division Member, Nudist Beach Operative and Vanguard Academy Student
Tsumugu Kinagase
Yan, Li, Nekomaru and Clarity are waiting inside a van while Tsumugu waits from the outside. He then saw Guy's group arriving, Tsumugu then waves his hand, "Oi! Over here!" he called out.
Guy's group then approaches them, "Sorry if we took a while to get here.'' Guy apologized.
Tsumugu waves his hands, "It's not a problem.'' he reassured when he noticed Kouko, "Hey? Who is she?'' he asked pointing a finger at Kouko. Guy then explained Kouko's situation and Tsumugu understood what she's going through, "I see... well then, get inside the van, so we can get outta here.'' he stated.
And with that, everyone got inside the van with Tsumugu on the wheels before driving away. The others then introduced themselves to Kouko which she responded rather nicely... except for one.
"Hey there, luv! The name is Clarity Dresden." Clarity greeted and introduced herself.
Kouko's skin suddenly turns pale upon setting sights on Clarity, "G-Ghost?!" she shrieked as she backs away while accidentally pinning Mez to the window.
Clarity outed, "Huh? Rude much.'' she complained.
Yan then turns to her from the passenger's seat, "You do realize that's pretty much everyone's reaction when they first saw you.'' he pointed out with a grin.
Clarity crosses her arms, "Still rude." she pouted.
Tsumugi then spoke, "I don't know about you guys but I sure do look forward getting back to the city.'' he said, "I'm excited for that Hot Pot Party!" he exclaimed in glee.
"Amen to that!" Li cheered as Nekomaru nodded in agreement from the backseats.
As Suzuka closed her eyes to take a nap, Guy turns to Kouko, "You should join us in this Hot Pot Party, Miss Kaminaga.'' he offered, "It's a good start in getting to know everyone.'' he stated with a smile.
Kouko smiled back, "Well then... if you don't mind." she accepted.
