Enforcers

The City of Dandelion...

"A world full of super-powered beings... That"s what this world is... Every man, woman, and child are all born with their own unique superpower we call Attributes. Of course, that isn"t the only power the race of man possesses..."

Snow fell hitting the path slowly as a man walked down the road. He hummed a simple tune as he marched forward confidently. A cane twirled in his hand as he strolled towards his apparent destination. He walked like he owned the city. To be fair he practically did... Or at least he knew the owner of the city.

Behind the man, several other men followed all of them wearing very large coats that covered their bodies from head to toe. They all seemed to be wearing masks as well as hats, and gloves. This caused their bodies to be completely unseen but made them stand out instantly. A mere glance was all that was required to simply tell that these guys were up to no good...

The man who seemed to be leading the group stopped as he slid a hand back through his hair. "So..." The man said as he came to a stop in front of a simple antique store. "Who thinks they actually have what we"re looking for?" He questioned his group as he turned to look at his followers.

The covered-up men simply stared at their boss as none of them moved or said a word at all. They simply stared at their boss as they tilted their heads to the side.

"Right... Forgot I didn"t give you the ability to talk..." The man simply shrugged as his smile grew wider. "Oh well... More for me then. ~la da de, la da di~" The man sang out as he twirled his cane. His voice reached out for the doork.n.o.b as he prepared to enter.

"Hey, buddy!" A voice called out from behind the group. The man turned around surprised to see a sixteen-year-old boy eyeing him up and down. The teen had a slight smirk on his face. "You guys are bad guys aren"t you?" The boy said as he nodded his head slightly. He had a curious look about him. One purple eye, and one gold eye. His hair was a improper black with white highlights.

"Ha... Of course, we aren"t bad guys kid." The man said laughing off the comment. "Me and my buddies just want to go into that store and collect a certain ring." He stated simply. "For my boss."

"You guys look like trouble..."

The man let out a sigh as his eye twitched. "Judging a book by its cover..." The man reached into his pocket grabbing something. "Here kid-" He said as he tossed a candy bar over. "Now run along. It"s pretty late. I"m sure your mommy is worried for you."

"Are you trying to bribe me with chocolate?"

"Is it working?"

"...Yes..."

The man smirked slightly as he turned his back to the kid. "Why don"t you run along buddy... We wouldn"t want you getting into any trouble." He marched in confidently as his smile somehow grew even larger.

"But I like trouble..." The kid managed to say before the man pushed the door open entering the store. His goons followed after them none of them paying the kid any mind. The kid stood there for a moment as he looked left, then right. "I really wanna beat those guys up..."

The store clerk looked up from what he was doing when the door opened. He began to say his usual speech when he finally noticed the large crowd of people who now stood in his shop. "Umm... Goodnight sir... What can- What can I help you with..." The man behind the desk gulped slightly as he stepped back. He eyed up all the people who stood in his store in a slightly worried manner. This was clearly a robbery... All thirteen of the people stared at him as the leader walked up twirling a fancy cane.

"Ahh h.e.l.lo, my good store clerk!" The man said as he twirled his cane... "The names Ben Eleazar..." The man said holding his hand out. He grabbed the other man"s hand shaking it viciously nearly pulling the store owner"s arm out of his socket. "My..." He glanced over to his followers as he tried to figure out what he should call them. "a.s.sociates? Friends? Minions. My minions and I are looking for a piece of jewelry. We heard you came across?" He said in an innocent manner that sent a chill down the store owner"s spine.

"W-What kind..." The store owner questioned attempting to stay calm in this tense situation. "I-If you don"t mind me asking?"

"I"m looking for a certain... Ring."

"Y-You"ll need to be a little bit more specific sir." The store owner said. "I have a lot of rings here..."

"Right. It"s a little ruby ring made from actual solid rubies. It should be extremely warm. Like it should be burning you but somehow isn"t. Oh. And it also should have the phrase "The First Key" written on it? Is this ringing any bells for you? Or do I need to be even more specific?" Ben questioned as he leaned over the counter for a second his eyes shining as he peered over at the man.

"No... No... I know the ring you"re talking about... But the thing is sir... It"s already been ordered. Cain Ion ordered it, sir... And... Well, he"s a n.o.ble... I can"t just give it away..."

"Cain ordered the ring? Oh, that is definitely interesting? I"ll need to tell Jester about this piece of trivia." Ben said humming slightly. "Oh also-" He snapped his fingers as his friends seemed to spring to life. They marched forward as they began to smash at the counter breaking the metal counter easily. "I suggest giving me the ring..." He said calmly. One of the men bent down grabbing the counter and ripping it out of the ground as they turned throwing it out the window. The window exploded in a shower of gra.s.s.

"Okay! Fine! You can deal with the p.i.s.sed off n.o.ble then..." The store clerk yelled out as he brought his arms up in a panic. "Just tell your guys to stop... Its gonna cost a h.e.l.l of a lot of Bells to fix all of this damage..." Ben snapped his finger once more which caused the men to stop. The store clerk walked towards the back where a metallic shelf stood. Pulling out a key he unlocked it and began to rummage through it. "Here!" The clerk announced as he pulled a red ring out of the draw. "This is the ring... Just take it and- Hero?"

"I"ll be taking that! Stretching powers go!" A loud inhaling sound echoed in the room as an arm flew past Ben"s shoulder shocking the man. The arm stretched out impossibly long as the hand grabbed the ring. The arm seemed to be bloated and pumped up, almost like it was a balloon. Then in a flash, the arm pulled back yanking the ring away. The arm was pulled back as it shrunk quickly going back over Ben"s shoulder who still stood there in shock.

Ben stared wide-eyed not expecting any of that. "What the h.e.l.l?" He turned around in shock finding the boy from earlier now holding the ruby ring. "You!" He said in rage and confusion. "I gave you a candy bar! Why are you still here?"

"Hero!" The store clerk yelled out in surprise and relief. "Quick run!"

Hero ignored the man as he pocketed the ring. "Ha! I knew you guys were evil!" Hero stated smugly. His multi colored eyes shined slightly as he ran a hand through his black and white hair.

"Your arm? Did it stretch, and... Get bigger? How odd..." Ben smirked slightly as he looked down on the sixteen-year-old boy. "You"re kind of interesting."

"I sure- Wait what do you mean by "kind of"?" Hero questioned just a little bit annoyed by that. "I"ll have you know that I am one of a kind!"

"I"ll cut to the chase boy. Give me the ring. I gave you an opportunity to go home, and I"ll give you another one. No one has to get hurt tonight." Ben announced. He turned to the shop owner as he gave a slight smirk. "You might wanna leave the area quickly. I have a feeling this will get messy..."

"And I told you I like trouble!" Hero announced. "My name is Hero Otoko. I"m the student to Okami Otoko, the strongest man alive. I myself am the second strongest human alive!" Hero announced right as the shopkeep bolted out the door. "Mr. Shopkeep I"m getting payed for this right?"

"No!" The man yelled leaving.

"Second strongest..." Ben said raising an eyebrow. "Oh dear... It seems I may need to take you seriously then. Break every bone in his body." Ben snapped his fingers causing the goons to react. In an instant, they all jumped at the young boy intending to follow the order given to them.

Hero let out a yelp as he jumped back barely avoiding several hands thrown his way. He slid on the wooden floor as he spun his body flying out the window. "You"ll have to catch me first a.s.shole!"

Ben"s eye twitched as he watched his men all stand around. "Well? Go get him!" He yelled out.

Hero smirked slightly as he watched the men march towards him... Then all at once, they grabbed the large coats they wore and tore it off of them. "Whoa! Metal Men?" Hero said in shock when he saw the people. "I wish I was made out of metal..."

They looked humanoid in shape but lacked a nose, eyes, mouth, hair, or ears. They had shiny metallic skin rather than flesh and all of them had a red dot in the center of their chest.

"Impressive right!" Ben announced as he walked out of the store. "My Attribute allows me to create Golems. Their strength, speed, and durability is all determined by whatever I made them out of. These particular ones are made out of solid Iron and as such have the durability of iron. Oh! They can also do this-" Ben snapped his finger causing one of the Golems to turn and punch the building.

There was a ma.s.sive crack that echoed out in the night as the entire building began to fall apart crumbling beneath the pressure created from that single punch. "That looks like it will be painful!" Hero said gulping slightly as he stepped back.

"Aren"t you observant... Give me the ring!"

Hero simply smiled as he brought his arms up going into a heavily flawed fighting stance. "Not a chance!" He announced. "If you think having the power of metal men is cool you clearly haven"t seen any of mine!" Hero began to inhale the air as he brought his right arm up. The arm began to rapidly inflate as it got bigger, and bigger. "Take this!" Hero announced out. He threw a punch out as his ma.s.sive arm slammed into the golem causing two things to happen.

The first is that the golem was sent flying back crashing into another golem. The second was Hero"s arm actually bounced back heading towards the left. As it bounced his arm began to get smaller. Now it seemed to actually flex out as the muscles in it bulged slightly. His fist came out slamming straight into another golem. A loud bang echoed out as the golem remained standing seemingly unfazed.

"Oww!" Hero yelled pulling his hand back. "That guy"s really hard!" He complained as he held his bruised hand. "Normal punches do nothing... Guess I"ll just keep using my bounce attacks to throw them?"

"Bounce what?"

Hero inhaled again as his leg grew. "Take this!" He announced once more. He brought the ma.s.sive leg down on the head of a golem causing it to crash down. The force slammed it straight into the ground as Hero"s leg hit it then bounced up straight into the air. He tried to bring his leg down but before he could react he was tackled straight into the ground.

"F##k him up," Ben called out as his golems charged forward towards the downed boy. They all jumped up as they crashed down on the boy in a dog pile. The boy grunted as he tried to pull himself out. He began to suck in air as his gut rapidly grew lifting several of the golems off of him. "You"re starting to look like a balloon..." Ben said chuckling slightly. "You have a really c.r.a.ppy Attribute? Oh well, golem do the thing..."

One of the golems brought their leg up bringing it down on the boy"s stomach. He coughed out in pain as his stomach began to shrink seemingly deflating. Hero was kicked around the battlefield by several of the golems as they threw him around. He was kicked, punched, and tossed several times as he slammed into the concrete. One of the golems picked Hero up by the leg as they yanked him up and slammed him down.

"Give me my ring!"

"No!" Hero gasped out. A golem picked up bring him up above its body. "On second thought! I magically seemed to have changed my mind..." Hero reached into his pocket pulling the ring out.

"Good..." Ben announced as the golem set Hero down gently. "Was that so hard. Believe it or not, I don"t like beating up on kids." He held his hand out as he smirked. "Now toss it over here."

Hero looked down at the ring for a moment. He frowned as he stared at it. "Screw it. Doing good!" Then shocking everyone he swallowed the ring. There was an audible gulp as the ring slipped down his throat disappearing into his stomach. "G.o.d that burns! Oww! Oh G.o.d! What"s it gonna be like coming out? Oh G.o.d, I take it back!"

No one said a word as the golems set there, Ben set there, and Hero set there frowning as he rubbed his stomach. "You son of a!" Ben seemed to rocket forward as he grabbed Hero by the throat throttling the teen. "Why would you do that! What kind of idiot are you! Seriously who eats a solid ruby ring you duma.s.s!" He shook the teen over and over again as he tried to squeeze the life out of him. "My boss is going to make me search through your c.r.a.p for that ring you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Why the h.e.l.l did you eat it! G.o.d this night has been the worst! Now I have to take you back to our base and explain what happens! Knowing Jester he"ll just gut you to get to the ring you duma.s.s! d.a.m.n it why the h.e.l.l did you do that? You didn"t have to die you, idiot!"

"And where is your base?" A voice questioned.

"It"s in the-" Ben stopped as he did a quick double-take. Hero, fell to the floor with stars in his eyes as he gasped for breath. "Who said that?" Ben questioned as he looked around.

"That would be me..." Everyone turned finding a woman watching them. Her arms held her head up as she set down on the roof of the destroyed building watching them. She flashed a smile as she waved to the gang. "That was pretty rad when you swallowed that ring..."

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" Ben yelled out in annoyance. "I"m kind of busy here."

The twenty-year-old woman simply gave a shrug as she reached into her pocket. "I"m just someone who heard a commotion, and came to stop it?" She stated as she pulled out a silver badge. The badge was gold with one star on it near the bottom. Two words could be seen on it. "Enforcer" and "Hannah Doors" were both written on it.

"An Enforcer!" Ben said panicking as he stared at the golden badge in horror. "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d you just got me killed!" Ben yelled out kicking the teen while he was down.

"Yay I"m saved!" Hero coughed out.

Ben frowned as he stared at the woman. "Well even if you are an Enforcer you"re still outmatched. I have twelve golems here all made out of solid iron. What could you possibly have?"

"I have an Earl..." Hannah said smiling slightly. Black wings burst from her back as something seemed to pull itself out of her body. It didn"t rip it"s way out though? It was like it just pulled itself out. Like she wasn"t there and something was just being created. The head of a crow appeared out of her back as the thing finally pulled itself out. A loud kaw echoed out as the monsters beak opened up.

A Bestia Macht... Also often referred to as vicious monsters. The thing had long black feathers, as well as black scales on its, body, with what appeared to be a reptilian tail coming out of its back. Its head was crow-like except for a few scales that were placed around it. Oh. The thing was also almost the size of a small teenager, and it happened to have a very powerful, and long wingspan.

The things beak opened as a powerful tornado fired out of its mouth ripping through the air tearing the sky up.

"Okay, that"s just unfair..." Ben said sniffling slightly as realized just how screwed he was.

The girl simply smiled an innocent smile as the bird peered down at the men.

Exactly One Minute, and forty-six seconds later...

The girl hummed a tune as she placed her hill on Ben"s head. Across the battlefield laid the bodies of all the destroyed golems. The girl hummed her tune as the crow circled the area kawing out.

"That... Was... Cool..." Hero said as he watched the woman. "Will you be my new teacher?"

"What? No. I"m to busy being an Enforcer to train some random brat."

"What"s an Enforcer?"

"Have you been living under a rock?"

"No. I"ve been living in a giant mansion with my grandpa, but he never told me anything so now that I"ve run away I have no idea how the real world works? I mean I ran away a year ago and was just planning on finding some way to survive... You"re pretty cool."

"What?"

"You think you"re so great..." Ben gasped out as he glared at the woman. "You Enforcers aren"t anything special... None of you are strong. If not for you I would have easily handled that boy."

"So you don"t like this child?" The girl questioned tilting her head to the side.

"No. I despise him. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d stopped me from robbing the store..."

"Oh. So you hate the Enforcers and this kid?" The girl said nodding slightly. "I have the best idea ever." She reached into her pocket pulling out a blue envelope. "Hey, kid. Wanna be a bada.s.s Enforcer like me?"
