Heroes in the Making!

"Launch attack!" Sebastian ordered the team as he took the lead using the massive tank known as Johnson. He transformed into a ravishing police car and carried Saber towards the enemy crowd.

"An enemy has been slain!"

"Double kill!"

"Triple kill!"

"Maniac!"

"You have slain an enemy."

"That could have been my savage!" shouted by Andre who is furiously tapping on the screen of his phone. His all-time favorite is no other than the hero with genes of hundred sword masters of different races – Saber. "Thanks for securing the kill, Becca." He added in a sarcastic manner.

Becca was using Rafaela in that moment; she is playing the role of a support. "I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to steal your kill, I just wanted to help." She softly spoke to avoid quarreling with him.

"Request backup!" Emily began releasing blast waves from the malefic cannon of Layla to destroy the tall and powerful turrets of the enemy.

"I come, I see, I conquer!" Rocco yelled upon reaching the enemy's base and emitted hasty magic balls to it. Cyclops was always his best bet, it has never put him down. And just like his hero, he loves watching the starry night and bluish skies.

At last, the victory is in their hands. The team celebrated with heavy sighs and loud laughter; it has always been like that until a mysterious and ferocious bug took over Mobile Legends. They tried pressing random buttons in hopes of solving the problem. The unknown bug is creating a horrendous screech that pierces the ears while the game glitches tremendously strong.

"What are we going to do?" Rocco shouted while covering his ears as small and big things began floating inside their room.

"Let's remove the battery of our phones!" Sebastian yelled; commanding his friends, as he tried to endure the high-pitched noise. This might be their last option, everyone agreed and altogether, they detached the battery of their phones.

The room went silent and the floating objects fell back on the wooden floor. They looked at each other, ensuring everyone's safety. Suddenly, the noise grew back; stronger, louder and even more painful than before. They were all screaming and covering their ears with their eyes closed as a bright white light engulfed the small white room in a flash.

BOOM!

They were all thrown across the tiny room due to the powerful magic explosion. Sebastian landed on the sharp shards of glass while the rest fell on tables, chairs and the wall.

"What just happened?" Sebastian wondered as he wiped some debris off his head. He looked around and almost turned stupor from what his eyes have shown him; Saber was rubbing his eyes, Rafaela was floating unconsciously and Layla and Cyclops were lying beside each other. He started breathing heavier and faster, and then he looked at his hands that turned metallic and navy blue; his screams became honks and his voice became robotic. Sebastian unintentionally transformed into a police car while honking loudly and crashed on the sturdy wall; creating a loud bang that alarmed the sleeping neighbors.

"Healing for everyone!"

"Never seen someone handsome with one eye?"

"Watch your head!"

"We can do it!"

"Guys! Keep it down." Sebastian tried to make them quiet however it seems that they're glitching. So he tried to shout but he only honked aloud.

"Why is it so noisy up there?" neighbors asked each other and moved back inside their home.

Sebastian shushed everyone and formed a circle with them. "Is everyone alright?

", asked by him.

"I can't feel my neck!" Rocco complained as he tried touching the area where his neck used to be.

The de-facto leader, Sebastian, said as he pointed each member "After that explosion, we became the heroes that we used earlier. Andre, you became Saber. Becca, you are now Rafaela. Emily, you are Layla and Rocco as Cyclops. Then I am… HOOONK!" "Oh come on!" Sebastian bawled as he put his metallic hands out in the air.

"Therefore, we are…" Sebastian added and looked in each of his friends' eyes.

"The S.A.B.E.R. Squad!" they all shouted with their cheeky smiles and unexpectedly, a three-dimensional hologram appeared where a map is shown. More holograms appeared that shows their profile and status.

"This is so cool!" Andre exclaimed in joy while touching the holograms, he accidentally pressed a button and said "Oops."

Sebastian looked at Andre as if he's saying that he will be punished for his actions but Andre just smiled at him – asking for mercy.

A figure appeared in front of them and uttered "Good morning S.A.B.E.R. Squad! I'm your guide and you can call me Ms. Jane. You seemed to be sleeping late most of the time, that's really bad for you. Anyways, this is the first time that you have mentioned your squad's name. The function of that is to activate this hologram so that you may ask questions, check the map, your profiles, and many more options."

"I'm assuming that you will give us a mission? I mean, that's what usually happens in stories like this one." Sebastian asked the hologram in wonder.

"Well, yes. So here's your first task, there's a bug wandering around MOA (Mall of Aisha) for some time already, it is not that strong or weak but for this task, you should work as a team. Good luck!" Ms. Jane replied and disappeared right after.

"It's all happening so fast!" Emily shouted out loud while holding the face of Rocco tightly.

Sebastian looked at his friends playing with each other, knowing that they are basically amateurs for now; they were already given with a mission. He smiled and said, "Here goes nothing."

Becca added "Healing for everyone!"

"Shut up Becca." Andre uttered in response to her annoying default dialogue.

"Shouldn't we train first? I'm worried of what could happen if we attacked right away without any knowledge about our heroes." Rocco suggested to the team with his only one eye closed.

"He's right! Let's train on our way!" Emily answered in a loud tone while laughing hysterically.

"No! That's not what I m--"

"Let's go!" Andre yelled and jumped along with Emily towards the door.

Rocco felt a tap on his shoulder, and heard the dramatically uttered words "It's all right.", he looked on his side and saw Becca hopping towards the door. And so, he began hopping as well.

"Don't jump Seb!" the four of them shouted to Sebastian who was about to jump with them.

Before leaving the house, Becca asked her friends, "What will people think if they saw us?"

"They'll just think that we're cosplayers," Emily responded as she held the doorknob.

The S.A.B.E.R. Squad moved out of the house and strike their own poses. And then, they started walking towards the vast fields of green where the cool wind dances along with the swaying grass and where birds chirp in harmony with a soothing melody.

"Let's test your car Seb!" Andre excitedly requested Sebastian for this wonderful opportunity.

"Sure!" He transformed into a police car and let everyone ride in it.

He honked twice and began moving across the land, "Um... Guys? I don't know how to properly steer this vehicle." Sebastian told his friends while worrying for them. Without any hesitation, the four jumped out of the car and watched Sebastian crash on a huge rock.

BOOM!

The explosion flashed in front of their eyes and pushed the wind towards them. "So long my friend," Becca muttered and clasped her hands together.

"I'm still alive!" Sebastian shouted from afar, reminding his friends that he still exists.

They continued training for the rest of day -- enhancing their skills, learning new techniques and getting used to their roles.
