Neo-City, a city that can be described as a Tokyo/Paris/Las Vegas hybrid, so the city is filled with casinos, cafes and many establishments about entertainment purposes. The city has huge park were people mostly relax, there are also a number of construction site around the city meaning the city kept on growing bigger and bigger.
We then see a drop ship making it's way towards a large venue called the Training Camp. Either you call it a facility or a camp, this place is where the Blessed and other aspiring heroes are being trained and it is also serves as the main HQ of Neo-City's Heroes Coalitions.
"There it is everyone!" Yukari Yakumo announced with a smile, "The main headquarters of this city's Heroes Coalitions... the Training Camp." she presented.
"Woah! This is place is big - ze!" Marisa Kirisame exclaimed in awe.
"Never knew that training camps look like castles.'' Meiling Hong commented.
Yukari let's out a giggle, "Actually only this camp has a castle-like appearance.'' she clarified, "The other training camps are far different from these one.'' she pointed out.
"Does this place has a king and queen?'' Helmsley "Helmz, Helmet" D. Heyman asked dumbly with Flandre Scarlet nodding in agreement.
"Helmet... the training camp may look like a castle but it doesn't have any royalties in it!" Kennedy "Kenny" MacIntosh replied in annoyance.
Yukari let's out a giggle, "Kenny is right." she said in agreement, "This place doesn't have any king or queen but it do have some royalties.'' she claimed.
"What do you mean by that?'' Rutee Katrea asked crossing her arms.
"What I mean is that some royalties trains in this camp." Yukari answered.
"So, princes and princesses are allowed to train here." Stahl Aileron mused, "Wow! That's so cool!" he admitted.
Sanae Kochiya then noticed something by the ship's window, "Hey... what's that?'' she asked pointing her finger at a large facility next to the training camp.
Everyone looks at the window when Yukari spoke, "Oh... that's the Vanguard Academy.'' she answered with excitement in her voice, "It serves as an institution designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of instructors. Compare to other academies, the Vanguard Academy has no age restriction nor race restrictions, anyone is welcome to attend the academy that wants to attend school or those who just missed attending schools. The Vanguard Academy has a very close ties with the Training Camp as numerous trainees and heroes are also attending the academy, some instructors from the training camp also works at the academy." she explained with a smile.
"Now that's a perfect school for me." Gino Samuels mused.
"Don't tell me you plan on attending that school?'' Ruderford "Rudy" Tucker asked indecorously.
"No. But I do plan on applying at Harvard University." Gino replied.
"Well... good-luck with that." Darius Greg scoffed, "I'm pretty sure you'll meet a lot of people that is categorized as 'forever alone"." he stated with a blank look.
"Ah, fuck you." Gino said in annoyance
Reimu Hakurei turns to Yukari, "You seem excited when you talk about that school.'' she pointed out.
Yukari giggles, "Can you blame me?'' she replied, "Believe it or not... I'm once a student at that school!" she claimed.
Her sudden revelation has taken everyone a back, "What?! You're a student here before?!" Reimu squawked in disbelief.
Yukari nodded, "Um! Ran and I attended the Vanguard Academy for five years.'' she confirmed with a smile.
"I never knew that the gap youkai attended a school.'' Alice Margatroid stated in surprise.
"I'm surprised that Lady Ran also attended this school." Blu the Honor commented.
And then upon closing in the Coalitions, the ship's radio receives a transmission, "Greetings and welcome to Neo-City and your currently making your way towards this city's Heroes Coalition main headquarters, the Training Facility." a voice greeted sounding like a flight attendant.
"What is this? An airport or something?'' Kenny pointed out indecorously.
"May I ask for your identities and please state your purpose?'' the voice asked politely.
Yukari smiled at whoever is speaking as she took the radio, "These is Yukari Yakumo, my friends and I are here today to meet the higher-ups of this organization to form an alliance." she answered.
"Understood. Please wait for a minute.'' the voice replied.
After waiting for a reply, they said they can enter and they directed them to the hanger and upon arriving at the hanger, several personnel in the Coalitions has come out to meet them.
Among those personnel are Mario Martinez, the current president of Neo-City's Heroes Coalitions and Louie, the founder of the Heroes Coalitions and is the Supreme God of Generosity.
Mario and Louie watches the drop ship lands on the hangar with a smile. The ship's entrance hatch opens and everyone began to walk out the ship one by one, though Remilia Scarlet and Flandre stayed inside for reasons.
"Yukari Yakumo." Mario greeted, "It's good to see you again.'' he said with a smile.
"It's good to see you two, Sir Mario." Yukari greeted back, leaning down while sharing a hug.
"I'm surprised for your sudden visit." Mario admitted, "You're here to form an alliance with us?'' he pointed out.
Yukari nodded, "Hai." she confirmed before turning to Louie, "Louie... you're looking well." she complimented.
Louie let's out a chuckle, "So I've been told." he mused.
"Anyway..." Mario spoke while turning his attention to Yukari's companions, "... these must be your companions in your current journey.'' he pointed out.
"Hai, they've been with me in this journey.'' Yukari confirmed
Mario nodded, "I see." he said, "Hello everyone, I am Mario Martinez, the current president of this city's Heroes Coalition.'' he introduced himself, "Welcome to the Training Camp, I hope you enjoy your time here." he said with a smile.
For some reason, everyone - except for Kenny- can't help but feel the warmth of Mario's smile, making them smile back while nodding to him in appreciation.
Louie then spoke, "Hey there... I'm Louie, the founder of the Heroes Coalition and the Supreme God of Generosity.'' he introduced himself.
"You're a God?'' Darius asked indecorously, "Pardon me... but last time I know, Gods don't dressed like slackers." he pointed out which earns him a smack at the back of the head, courtesy of Kanako Yasaka, "Yeow!" he cried in pain.
"Show some respect Darius! Even Gods are allowed to wear whatever they want.'' Sanae chastised as Suwako Moriya nodded in agreement.
Louie let's out a chuckle, "That's fine! I get that a lot." he reassured.
"Now then...'' Mario spoke as he gestures his hands to his right, "... I think it's about time we start discussing about forming an alliance with us." he suggested.
"Good. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get out of here." Kenny exclaimed with a blank look.
Bzzzttt...
After that, the unlikely group along with Mario and Louie are currently gathered around the meeting room with Yukari finishing signing a contract presented by the president of the Heroes Coalitions.
"Congratulations, Yukari.'' Mario said with a smile, "You and you friends are now part of Neo-City's Heroes Coalitions.'' he said offering a handshake.
Yukari accepted his handshake, "It's a honor, sir." she replied with a smile.
"As written in the contract, all of you will be given a tablet specifically made here which will give you the info and data that you need in your journey.'' Mario explained, "Not only that, you can use those to report back details to us about your recent adventures and as well as each member's contribution." he added, "By doing that, we can sum up the amount of money that we'll send to you as payments." he declared.
"Wait! We're getting paid?!" Reimu squawked in surprise with a glint of joy in her eyes.
"Payment, huh?" Darius mused, "Now that is something I like.'' he said.
"Mister Mario said 'contributions'... that means you need to do something, so you'll get paid." Sanae pointed out.
Darius facefaulted, "Now that sucks." he grumbled.
"Suck it, Greg.'' Gino spoke, "You need to learn how to work rather than slacking-off most of the time." he pointed out with Nitori Kawashiro nodding in agreement.
"Anyway... I'm pretty sure you all wanted information about the person that casted a curse in Gensokyou and the creatures along with him.'' Mario pointed out which earns a nod from everyone, "Right, now then, we do know the person who casted that curse in Gensokyou and that person is known as The Curse Maker.'' he revealed.
"The Curse Maker?'' Patchouli Knowledge repeated.
Then an image of a creepy-looking young man appears on a nearby monitor. The young man has a frizzy red hair, he has a dark eyes with a red slit-pupils and a pair of horns on his head. He wears an eye patch covering his left eyes and a respirator mask covering his mouth and jaw. He wears a black longcoat over a red collared his shirt with a black necktie, red pants, black shoes and black gloves. His most notable trait is the three pairs of large wings on his back.
"This young man is known as The Curse Maker." Louie presented.
"Men... ain't he creepy." Rudy commented.
"He has more wings that Aya." Nitori added.
"I'm offended by that.'' Aya Shamamieru grumbled in annoyance.
Mario then spoke, "This young man is known for his ability to create a curse that affects an entire world.'' he explained, "Limited is known about him but it's confirmed that the only way to undo the curse is to defeat him.'' he stated, "However... The Curse Maker is still a powerful being, so take cautions before you plan on taking him straight on." he advised.
Blu nodded, "Understood.'' she affirmed.
"Now then... about the creatures that attacked your world are known as the Emotionless.'' Mario revealed, "The Emotionless are mindless creatures that are easy to be manipulated, despite lacking brains, these creatures will abide any command given to them. The Dark Forces has taken advantage of this and has been using these creatures to cause havoc in different worlds." he explained.
"Men... ain't they a messed-up creatures.'' Rudy commented.
"No kidding." Darius replied in agreement while taking a bite of a chocolate bar.
Blu crosses her arms, "But how are gonna stop these creatures?'' she asked.
Then an image of young girl appears on the monitor, "Who is that?'' Rutee asked.
"I don't know but I don't like her already." Kenny replied.
"This young girl is known as the Summoner.'' Mario replied revealing the identity of the girl, "She is a member of the Dark Force and is the creator of the Emotionless." he explained.
"She created the Emotionless?!" Gino exclaimed in shock, "How?'' he asked.
Louie shook his head, "That we do not know." he admitted, "How these creatures are created is a mystery. That information is very well-kept by the Dark Forces or the Summoner herself.'' he stated.
Kenny crosses his arms, "Well... at least we know what were dealing here.'' he said.
"So... all we need to do is find the Summoner, beat her and the Emotionless will be no more!" Suwako stated.
"I believe that won't be easy as you seem." Mario spoke, "If ever you did defeated the Summoner, who's to say that Emotionless will stop from appearing. For all we know, the Dark Forces might find another way to reproduce them.'' he explained.
Rudy snaps his fingers, "Drats! He has a point.'' he said.
Louie then spoke, "Just leave the Summoner to us and focus on in searching for The Curse Maker, the more he stays on loose, the more the curse casted upon you gets stronger.'' he advised.
"Then we'll do whatever it takes to find him, beat him and get the curse lifted.'' Reimu declared with fellow Gensokyo members nodding in agreement.
Mario then spoke, "And one more thing..." he said while turning to Blu, Kenny, Rudy, Gino, Darius and Helmet, "... I need to share an information to Miss Honor, Mister MacIntosh, Mister Tucker, Mister Samuels, Mister Greg and Mister Helmsworth.'' he claimed which surprises the six who were mentioned.
"Who's Mister Helmsworth?'' Helmet asked.
"THAT'S YOU, HELMET!" Kenny shouted.
"What's that - ze?'' Marissa asked.
"Ever wonder the origins of your abilities?'' Mario asked with a smile.
"Umm... I had no idea..." Blu muttered.
"Radioactive energy?'' Kenny asked.
"Some kind of virus?'' Gino asked.
"We got abducted by aliens?'' Rudy asked.
"Something we ate?'' Darius asked.
"Cookies?'' Helmet asked.
Mario let's out a chuckle as Louie began to explain. The six are known as Blesseds. The Blessed are people who've obtained the powers originally belongs to the Gods named Dolph and Floyd. After the two Gods accidentally killed each other, their powers leaks out like gas and was later contained in a sphere by Louie. However, the sphere mysteriously exploded and each powers was scattered around the different dimensions and universe, finding it's way to many people and creatures giving them abilities. The abilities were later coined by Louie as Gifts and each Gifts comes of differently from each person. Ironically, despite being called Blessed, they we're never actually blessed, as the Gods never gave it to them.
"You know... you should at least came up with something the doesn't represents the word 'irony'." Kenny pointed out indecorously.
Louie let's out a chuckle, "I get that a lot! But name stuck.'' he replied.
Blu looks at her hands, "So... I'm actually a Blessed..." she muttered in awe.
"That explains why Blu's abilities are akin to Gods.'' Alice mused, "Her powers originally belongs to actual Gods." she said.
"Which is the reason why she's extremely powerful." Reimu pointed out before turning to the boys, "I can't say the same thing to the boys." she commented rather bluntly.
"Hey! We may not look like but we were once trainees from Krimson the Great's Battle Arts Academy!" Rudy argued.
"Ah! The Battle Arts Academy! It's been a while since I've heard of that place.'' Mario mused, "So, you've graduated from that school?'' he asked.
"Actually... we dropped out before we could finished training." Darius replied bluntly.
"That explains things." Alice pointed out indecorously.
"Well... it's a shame that you boys didn't get to finished your training." Mario stated, "However, since you're now allies with the Coalitions, you can come here anytime to train.'' he offered.
"I'll take that offer." Rudy replied, "Really need to keep my skills in check." he stated.
Mario nodded, "Well now... I suggest that you all joined us for lunch before you go.'' he suggested.
Yukari gasped in delight, "That is wonderful! It's been a while since I've tasted your cooking!" she cheered.
Mario let's out a chuckle, "Well then... let's head towards the kitchen.'' he mused.
After having lunch with Mario, Louie and a few personnel, the large group decided to take their leave and after saying their goodbyes, they went off to their next destination.
