You were probably thinking that was the end of the story. Fortunately for you guys, that is not true.

That night, I told my group to meet me on top of a hill outside the city. The hill overlooked Canterlot and a river that ran on the edge of it. From that angle, the view reminded me of San Francisco. The lights from the buildings and streetlights gleamed like the stars in the night sky. Cars moved on the roads below like ants on the sidewalk. A bridge that looked like the Golden Gate Bridge, which also bustled with cars. It was peaceful up there on that hill.

Around 9:30, everyone pulled up in their vehicles. Hannah had run to the hill. Everybody got off of their vehicles and walked over to me.

“Okay, Matthew. We’re here. What’s up?” Dylan asked.

“Thanks for coming, guys," I said. "What do you see behind me?"

“A big ass city,” Orange replied.

“We came to Canterlot to bring Hamato and the Black Snake to justice. The mission has changed. The mission is no longer a hunt. Instead, the hunt is now war. Hamato wanted to use the Sirens to take over this dimension. It was a secret invasion. The people of Canterlot need our help. The people of this dimension may not realize they are in trouble, but they are. I can’t do this alone. I need you guys to help me. The question I have is, ‘Are you with me?’”

“Matthew, ever since our preteen years, our relationship has been rocky. The surfacing of our powers, the death of Mom and Dad, facing Hamato the first time, and this time. Despite the rockiness, you are my brother. I will stick with you,” Hannah replied.

“We’ve been friends ever since the third grade about ten years ago. I haven’t left your side since then, and I won’t do it now,” Lance replied.

“I honestly don’t know how we became friends but friends help each other out, no matter what,” Justin answered.

Everyone had answered my question like the previous answer. What surprised me was that Orange Bunny had a heartfelt answer. I think that surprised everyone. I felt like we were an actual team of battle-ready assassins. Then, Eric asked about a team name.

“It seems like we should have a team name. Like the Avengers and Teen Titans,” he said.

“How about Marvel League?” Brody asked.

"That sounds a bit...generic,” I replied.

“How about the National Heroes Team?” Dalton asked.

“Where did you come up with that?" Levi replied. Dalton shrugged.

“What about Superpowered Teens League?” Justin suggested.

“What the fuck, guys. Now, you aren’t even trying,” Orange announced.

“How does the Teen Mutant Alliance sound,” Jessie suggested.

“I didn’t think you cared, Jessie,” Devin said.

“I do, since technically I a part of the team, I decided to help because you guys are incapable of doing it yourselves,” Jessie responded.

“That name sounds good. It has a nice ring to it,” Eric said.

“All of you agree?” I asked.

Everyone agreed to the name of the group. The Teen Mutant Alliance was our official name.

“We’ve got an early day on Monday, everyone. School starts in the morning. At eight tomorrow night, our war against Hamato Kornata begins and we will destroy the Black Snake once and for all,” I announced.

The rest of the Alliance cheered and they went to their vehicles. I stayed behind after they left. I turned around and faced Canterlot.

It was a big city, but it wasn’t big enough for both the Teen Mutant Alliance or the Black Snake. One of us had to leave.

“I know you’re out there, Hamato,” I mumbled. “I won’t rest until I avenge Mom and Dad’s death and the Burakkusunēku are destroyed. This dimension belongs to the people, not you. If you want it, come and take it.”

I walked over to my motorcycle and got on it. Then, I turned it on and drove into the night.
