Enforcers

Okane pushed the two ma.s.sive doors open as hard as he could as he strolled into his office. He stopped for a moment as a small frown came onto his face.

"I could have sworn I locked this door-"

"Well, Mr. Green." The man called Mr. Snow stated as he strolled in as if he owned the place. He took a seat as his companion, the man dressed up like a Samurai, took a seat next to him. Mr. Snow turned to look back at Okane as he waved a hand. "Take a seat. I a.s.sume we have much to talk about?"

"...Yes sir..." Okane muttered. 

"Have you made the modifications to your armor?" Mr. Snow asked.

Okane walked over to his desk pulling out two black cases. The first had the same costume he wore when he went by Coin. But in the second box, it had the green armor in it. "Yes." He stated pulling the green helmet out. He stared into it seeing his reflection coming off of it. "This armor will do nicely when I am Mr. Green." He was silent for a few moments putting it back. "But I a.s.sume you really wanted to talk about Ren?"

"Yes..." Mr. Snow went silent as he leaned forward.

"It"s a shame..." The man dressed as a Samurai muttered. "She was so young and filled with life. She was your partner to... A rank twelve member of the Organization, with you being Rank Eleven. Hard to believe she really died..."

"It was something I couldn"t plan for..." Okane muttered. "I had no idea she would even be in the city..."

"Yes. It"s a shame." Mr. Snow said in a calm and cold tone. "After all. She had been slipping us information about the Enforcers for years... Shame she had to die... Well, need to get someone else in that group then."

"She was more than that." Okane hissed out. "Ren... She reminded me so much of my daughter..." He sighed out. Okane clenched his fist for a moment bowing his head. "If only I wasn"t with that fire b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I could have saved her..."

"Yes. We did lose such an important a.s.set." Mr. Snow grabbed one of the bottles of alcohol and began to pour himself a gla.s.s. "I a.s.sume Jester doesn"t know that you are going to betray him?"

"No sir. Not yet. He still thinks I"m loyal to him." Okane stated nodding his head. 

"Good." Mr. Snow nodded his head. "And I a.s.sume you still have our ring?"

"Yes sir..." Okane muttered. He reached up pulling off his glove showing off an emerald ring.

"Good. It would be unfortunate if Jester got his hands on them. He would release a great evil onto this world. We would all surely die. Tell me? Have you found any of the other rings?"

"No sir," Okane said shaking his head. "As of now, only the Emerald ring is my possession."

"I see..." Mr. Snow was silent for a few seconds as he seemed to think of something. He slowly reached up showing off a small Sapphire ring that rested on his fingers. "Ruby. Emerald. Sapphire. Amethyst. Diamond. These five rings were crafted during Age 100 by Rin Storm. The Leader of the Enforcers... They say he keeps a great weapon locked up. As of now, we have the Emerald and Sapphire Ring. We do not know the whereabouts of the Amethyst ring. However, we know that the Diamond ring is worn by Master Storm himself... Furthermore Ben told me some troubling news... He claims you ordered the Ruby ring when it was found? And yet. I don"t remember you ever mentioning something to me about that?"

"Did he now?" Okane said turning around and staring out his window. "That"s an interesting story. I remember Ben being defeated by an Enforcer and tortured for information? We had to send David, as well as September and October to get him?"

"Interesting isn"t it... So I a.s.sume you have nothing to say on the ring matter?"

"I do not sir."

Slowly the Samurai began to stand up as he reached for his longsword.

"There"s no need for that One." Mr. Snow said casually. "Tell me. You go by Mr. Green for us. And Coin, for the Jester. So I feel to ask. Who are you?" 

"I am Okane," Okane said simply. "You know where my loyalty lies."

Mr. Snow set back slowly as he folded his arms. "Do I?"

"You do..."

There was a silence that filled the room as everyone waited for the other person to make the first move. Finally, Mr. Snow leaned forward.

"So." He said clapping his hands together in a prayer gesture. Despite that though he didn"t activate his Mantra. It was more of a warning. "A while back an Enforcer by the name of Eins Licht, built a lab on a boat out in the black depth near this city. The lab is designed to sink under the water to keep it hidden and to defend it. We have reports that he is working for a vile and impure man by the name of Doctor Hyde. Hyde is famously known for breaking into the Enforcers lab, and stealing the arm of G.o.d, as well as one of the last remaining users of the Monsterfication. Eins has been instructed by Master Storm to work on an unknown project, however, he has secretly been going rouge, and working with Doctor Hyde to make a new Super Soldier. We don"t know what these are yet... We do know that what he is doing is inhumane and wrong. Many are being done to children... As such we will need to raise up the lab and break all the kids out. We will leave them on the sh.o.r.e so the Enforcers can find them and hopefully get them a new home. However, we need to do this fast as according to you Jester is wanting to break into the Lab as well?"

"Yes sir." Okane nodded. "I"ve hired a few scientists. They"re down in the bas.e.m.e.nt. They"re working on a device that will hijack the Labs controls forcing it to surface and crash into the side of Dandelion. There we will be able to enter it." 

"I see. And you lied to Jester telling him this device wasn"t done yet?"

"That"s correct." Okane nodded. "As far as he knows the device is still being built. We finished it yesterday, however. Now would be the best time to strike."

"Well then... That"s exactly what we"ll-"

"Boom!"

The entire manner suddenly shook as a ma.s.sive wave of flames slammed down into the floor shaking the ground. 

Okane nearly fell over but managed to catch himself as he shook his head slightly. "What the h.e.l.l was that?"

"It sounded like it came from the floor below?"

"s.h.i.t! The lab!"

"Come One. Come, Okane. Let"s go see what this disturbance was." Mr. Snow said standing up.

The three men left the room in a quick manner. None of them noticed the painting fly open as Heather stepped out.

"So... This ring?" She stared down at the ring that rested on her fingers. "Why did Dad lie about it? And what was that explosion? I need to check this out... He said there was a device in the lab? I need to get it before they do!"
