I must thank them personally.

It was a fine morning in an unnamed world where we see the members of Rascalz which consists of Crusher the Highlands Goat, Kouta Fujiki and Marcus "The Nerd" Reservoir, walking through a trail deep within a forest. The trio of heroes are currently on a task of purging a group of monsters infesting the forest and terrorizing a village just outside the area and after hearing the villagers pleads, the trio taken upon themselves to deal with these monsters.
"So, what kind of monsters you think that we'll encounter in this forest?" Crusher inquired.
"From what descriptions the villagers told me..." Marcus uttered, "... these creatures had an appearance similar to a dinosaur with white skin, black beaded eyes and has no mouth." he shared.
Kouta nodded, "An Emotionless." he confirmed, "I believe I know what were dealing with." he claimed.
"I just hope Karasu won't appear out of nowhere and attack us." Marcus uttered nervously.
"Don't worry." Crusher reassured, "After our small bonding during the AKB concert, I think she won't be attacking us any time soon." he stated.
"I hope so." Marcus replied.
Kouta looks around, "I don't mind Karasu because we can take on that crazy bitch." he admitted, "But the one I don't wanna see it at the moment is Sora." he confessed.
"Geez... I know her man-hating persona can be grating at times but she's a good person all-in-all." Marcus pointed out, "I think you should try and get along with her." he advised.
Kouta snorted, "Easy for you ta say..." he grumbled, "You guys get along well with her teammates while I'm stuck with that man-hating bitch." he complained.
"Point taken." Crusher uttered.
"Anyway... we should focus on finding these creatures and get this over with." Kouta beckoned.
As the trio pressed on forward, Crusher suddenly stops walking with his ears perking up, he then began to survey his surroundings with narrowed eyes.
Marcus took notice of this, "What's wrong, Crusher?" he asked.
"I hear something." Crusher answered before turning to his right side, staring at that side for a few seconds before narrowing his eyes further in confirmation, "It came from that direction!" he pointed out.
"Then let's go check it out!" Kouta beckoned.
And with that, the Rascalz ran towards the direction of the sound and upon arriving to an open area deep within the forest, they were greeted by the sight of five figures fighting a large number of Emotionless.
The first figure is a teenage boy with a short spiked dark-brown hair, he had dark-brown eyes and an X-shaped scar on the right side of his forehead. He wears a blue long sleeve short jacket under a gray sleeveless mesh shirt with two light blue lines in both sides, blue pants, shins, and red and white rubber sneakers. He also wears red fingerless gloves on both of his hands. This is Batsu Ichimonji.

"Woah... who are these yokels?" Marcus questioned in awe.
"I don't know." Crusher replied, "But I do know that these people needs help." he pointed out.
"And those creatures are the Emotionless that I'm talking about!" Kouta exclaimed, "And the creatures that has been terrorizing the village!" he added, "And I agree with Crusher... these people needs help." he beckoned in agreement.
"Hold up..." Marcus spoke, "Lemme change first." he said before bringing up the device on his wrist, "Fight, you motherfucker! Fight!" he declared before slamming his palm on top of the device.
And in a brief yellow flash of light, Marcus transforms into a creature. The creature is a tall blue and white-skinned anthropomorphic great white shark with big jaws and sharp teeth, and has black-colored eyes. He wears a black pants with a red-colored belt and brown leather shoes.
"ROOOOOOAARRR!" Marcus let's out a loud roar before taking a good look on himself, "Woah... this is new..." he uttered in surprise.
"You've transformed into quite a terrifying hero." Crusher commented.
Kouta stared at Marcus' new hero form with a thoughtful expression, "I think I've seen or heard this hero before but I just can't recall where." he stated.
"We can talk about this new form later." Marcus said, "We need to help those people first." he reminded.
Crusher nodded, "Roger." he complied.
"Let's go!" Kouta beckoned.

And with that, the Rascalz rushes out from their hiding spot and began to attack every Emotionless on sight, surprising Batsu and the rest.
"Wait! Who are you people?!" Maximo demanded.
"And what the heck is that?!" Mail exclaimed with a finger pointed at Marcus' current form.
Kouta turns to them, "We'll introduce ourselves later but right now, we need to take this things out first." he advised before pointing a finger at Marcus' current form, "And don't worry... the big guy is with us." he reassured.
Maximo nodded, "All right." he accepted.
Tyris charges towards an Emotionless and sliced it's neck with her sword, then two more Emotionless charges towards her, Tyris then dodges their claws before launching powerful fire magic at the creatures on the face and then finishing the two by decapitating them.
As this is going on, Mail ducks down after an Emotionless swung it's tail at her, she then swung her blade and slice it's tail before finishing the creature by stabbing a dagger on it's head, Mail then brought out a boomerang and throws at a pair of Emotionless, knocking them down on the ground.
Meanwhile, Maximo smashes his shield at another Emotionless, pushing it back before stabbing it on the chest, Maximo then turns to another creature before stabbing it on the head while another Emotionless attacks him, Maximo deflects it's strike by covering himself with his shield before killing the creature by slicing it's neck.
As this is going on, Hinata unleashes a short-range energy burst from her palm which blasted an Emotionless to oblivion, Hinata then follows this by doing three flying spin-kicks at another creature, setting it on fire in a brief moment.
Meanwhile, Batsu charges forward before delivering an uppercut at one Emotionless which launches the creature on the air, Batsu then jumps with a rising elbow strike at another creature before following up with a flaming punch.
As this is going on, Kouta unleashes a barrage of bullets towards a group of Emotionless which decimates them to pieces, Kouta then tossed a grenade in the middle of another group of Emotionless before firing a shot at them which blasted the creatures off the ground.
Meanwhile, Crusher charges towards an Emotionless and then taking it down by tackling it using his horns, Crusher then transforms into a miniature dragon before breathing fire towards a group of Emotionless, incinerating the creatures on the process.
As this is going on, Marcus dives into the ground with his dorsal fin sticking out, he then made it's way towards another group of Emotionless before popping out from the ground and catching the creatures with his mouths, ripping and tearing the creatures apart.
After an hour of battle, the Rascalz and the five figures that they encountered panting heavily, thankful that the creatures are defeated.
Marcus then turns back to his human form in a bright flash, much to Maximo and the others' surprise, "Welp! That's that." the green-haired concluded.
"So... that creature was a human all along..." Tyris uttered in disbelief.
"Sugoi..." Hinata muttered in awe.
Maximo then turned to the Rascalz, "I can't thank you brave warriors enough for aiding us." he said in gratitude, "If we weren't for your timely arrival, those creatures would have overwhelmed in a matter of minutes." he stated.
"It's no pleasure." Kouta reassured, "We actually came to this forest to get rid of those creatures because they've been terrorizing a nearby village." he explained, "And it took us by surprise when we came across you guys fighting those things." he admitted.
"We we're just walking around when those creatures attacked us." Batsu explained.
Crusher nodded, "I see." he uttered in understanding.
Mail then spoke, "You guys said that you came here to this forest to get rid of those creature that terrorizes a nearby village." she pointed out, "Are you getting paid for that?" she asked, "Can I have a sum of it?" she requested, "I mean... I did took down a few creatures as well." she reasoned with a greedy grin.
Marcus raised an eyebrow, "Uhh... no." he replied, "The village are not paying us for to do this, we decided to do it from the goodness of our hearts." he explained.
Mail pouted, "Really? Lame..." she uttered in disappointment before earning a slap at the back of her head by Tyris.
"So, what are you guys doing here?" Crusher questioned.
Batsu rubs the back of his head, "It's a long story and you might not believe us due to how crazy as it's sounds." he replied.
"Dude... we got a guy that can turn into a humanoid shark and a talking highlands goat." Kouta pointed out, "So, we're pretty used to seeing and hearing crazy things." he stated.
Maximo nodded, "I see." he uttered, "Well then... I'll be blunt right off the bat..." he beckoned, "... the five of us are not from this world." he revealed.
"He is telling the truth." Tyris vouched, "We all came from different worlds and everyone here experienced witnessing a large blue hand coming down from the sky, grabbing us and then sending us to this world for no reason whatsoever." she explained.
"It's a really crazy experience that it's kinda haunting me." Hinata admitted in dread.
Kouta thought about it, "Large blue hand, huh?" he uttered, "I think I heard a similar case before but I just don't recall where." he thought out loud before shaking his head, "Anyway... I think we should have this conversation back in the village and had you guys gets some rest." he suggested.
Batsu nodded, "Then lead the way." he beckoned.
And with that, the Rascalz, alongside Maximo, Tyris, Mail, Batsu and Hinata, made their way back to the village. But unbeknownst to them, we see a cloaked fogure hiding behind a tree, gritting their teeth in disappointment.
"Curses..." they uttered.
Bzzzttt...
The scene the changes to a city called Townsville where we head towards the junkyard area located somewhere in the city and in the middle of the junkyard, we see a shed.
Inside the shed, we see four teenage boys lazing around, practically doing nothing in life.
The first teenage boy has a green skin tone, he has a long, skinny body with a curve in his back and hasslanted pink eyes. Over his long messy black hair, he wears a brown Kangol hat that is worn backwards. He also wears a white tank top with black and yellow stripes, matching sweatbands, orange shorts and black hi-top sneakers. This is Sanford Ingleberry, also known as Snake.

He wears a maroon tee-shirt over a white long-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and black, pointy thigh-high boots. This is Arturo de la Guerra, also known as Lil' Arturo.

He wears a big green shirt with two yellow lines on each sleeve, blue jeans with a black belt and black & white sneakers. This is William W. Williams, also known as Big Billy.
William "Big Billy" W. Williams
All four boys are members of the Gangreen Gang which is a group of trouble-making hoodlums, punks and thugs who live at the Townsville city dump.
"So, how long before Ace makes it back?" Lil' Arturo asked.
"I-I-I-I don't know~" Snake hissed.
Suddenly, the door of their shed slammed open which surprises the boys, they then turn around to see two figures entering their humble abode... and these persons are none other that Antonio Cueto and Matanza Cueto.
"W-W-Who are you people?!" Snake demanded.
Antonio grinned evilly, "You don't need to know who we are." he replied before pointing his cane at the boys, "Gangreen Gang... you boys had been chose to be the next..." he uttered, "... SACRIFICES FOR THE GODS!" he declared.
Matanza then charges forward and started to trash the troublesome hoodlums, Matanza slugs Snake across the face, delivered un uppercut on Big Billy, kicking Grubber on the midsection and throwing Lil' Arturo on the wall.
Matanza then grabs Snake by the neck and began to slam him down multiple times on the floor, he then kicks Lil' Arturo like a football and grabbing Snake by his legs before slamming him to the wall like a baseball bat.
Matanza then slugs Grubber across the face, kicking Snake across his jaws, uppercutting Billy once more, kicking Snake on the midsection and stepping on Grubber' left foot.
Matanza continued to thrash the boys like no tomorrow and when he is done, the battered and beaten boys are piled up against each other while moaning in pain, Antonio then smiled deviously in satisfaction.
"Good work my boy." Antonio complimented, "Now... to appease the Gods." he beckoned.
Matanza then stood on top of the beaten Gangreen Gang before spreading his arms while looking upwards when suddenly... the lighting struck down and loud thunders can be heard all over the place, Matanza then let's out a horrifying roar, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" the boys screamed in horror and with a flash of negative lights, the four members of the Gangreen Gang disappeared without a trace.
Antonio then let's out a diabolical laughter, "Well done my boy." he complimented, "We're missing one person but the Gods are still pleased." he stated, "Now come!" he beckoned gesturing his cane to follow, "We must go back to the temple and wait for the next sacrifice to be chosen.'' he declared.
And with that, Antonio and Matanza left the place with another set of victims successfully sacrificed to their Gods.
