Enforcers

An Unknown Town...

Ken entered the town quietly as she walked. Her dull red eyes stared at everything as she put one foot in front of the other. She pa.s.sed by a woman with blond hair and blue eyes as she walked towards the guard station. Today and until next week she would be guarding this town from them... Them of course being the Bestia Machts. It would be her job to make sure they don"t get in. This is what she would do every week. The same old job time and time again...

Until the end of her life.

Ken let out a quieter sigh that was barely audible as she entered the town. The young girl looked beyond the dulled wooden gate as her shoulder-length black hair blew back in the wind. Snow fell down on her.

She walked forward in the run down, town taking step after step each one causing her to sigh out even more. As she walked her hand briefly dropped down to her side where an old and rusted sword hung from her belt.

It was time for her job.

One week later...

Ken entered the next town slowly as she stepped out of the metallic train she had taken to arrive at her current destination. The young girls dull red eyes tried to take everything in but gave up causing her to merely stare ahead blankly as she began to enter the town. She crossed her arms slightly as she glared at anyone that happened to get to close to her.

Once again she would be staying here for a week. Once again she would guard this city from the Bestia Machts. And once again nothing would happen.

Ken let out a depressed sigh as she pa.s.sed by a woman with blond hair and blues eyes. Ken looked up at the guard tower and with a roll of her eyes, she entered the stone building.

"I joined this job in an attempt to do something interesting... But this is just dull and boring." She said as her dull eyes rolled slightly. "No challenge... Nothing to do to improve... Perhaps I was mistaken when I turned that obnoxious boy down all those years ago..." She let out a loud sigh as she prepared for the same old boring day. "At least I know "he" will never find me..."

One week later...

Ken stepped off of the train as she walked towards the next town. A part of her hoped that this time the week would pa.s.s by quickly. This town was run down and covered in filth. A simple place to throw away the garbage. She entered the town as her dull red eyes glanced at everything in an attempt to find even the smallest reason to stay... Like usual she found nothing. Despite that though she still looked.

She saw the guard tower, a woman with blond hair and blue eyes, and a fight that was breaking out. Ken glanced over to the fight with the tiniest bit of curiosity but it soon disappeared.

It was one teen versus many and the one teen was clearly winning. He would swing around a metallic cane bonking anyone who got close to him over the head. It was clear that he out skilled all the teens who tried to fight him. He bashed everyone on the skull as he swung his cane around like a mad man.

Ken soon left heading towards the guard station after she realized the man needed no help. A part of her wanted to jump in the fight. Not to help him but challenge him. She managed to squash down that urge as she finally left for real. She could always try and fight him later. Right now she was late for her job.

"All of this..." Ken thought as she looked towards the tower she would be staying in for the next week. "All of this is just so boring..."

One week later...

Ken gave off a heavy sigh as she began walking towards the gates of this new town. "Let"s get this over with..." She said in an annoyed manner. She entered the town pa.s.sing by a woman with blond hair and blue eyes as she walked towards the guard station. "I wonder what"s going to happen today... Or rather I wonder won"t happen today..."

"Hey, Doll!" A voice called out right as Ken was about to reach the door to the tower. Ken turned slowly finding a rough-looking seventeen-year-old boy looking her up and down. "You look bored? Wanna have some fun?" The man questioned as he held his hand out. "I can see it in your eyes. You"re bored right? So how about we do something fun?"

Ken raised an eyebrow for a brief second. A small smirk appeared on her face as her eyes lit up for a slight second. Her eyes soon returned back to their normal dull color. "What did you have in mind..." She asked.

The man smirked as he crossed his arms. "How about I show you?"

Three hours later...

The group let out a laugh as they walked through the snow. "I told you we wouldn"t have gotten caught." The leader of the group said letting out another chuckle. He dropped down a spray can as he glanced at a wall that was covered in red paint. It said a few vulgar things that shouldn"t be repeated. "Hey, new girl? How are you feeling?" He questioned slightly as he turned to the back. His eyes turned over to the young girl who hanged near the back.

Ken looked up staring at the four people in front of her. She had remained silent the entire time the group had been vandalizing the wall of the town. "I"m fine," Ken said simply. "Why are we outside of the town? I doubt any of you would be able to run fast enough to make it to the border if a Bestia Macht were to attack us?" She disliked the group so far. All four of them had tried flirting with her and, worse yet she quickly realized that none of them were that impressive...

The teens all looked at the girl for a moment before they all burst out into laughter. "Ha! Bestia Macht? Trust me, we don"t have to worry about them. You see we"re still so close to the town that they won"t bother coming out this far. Plus even if one does come out here there"s five of us. Most of those monsters don"t bother hanging around these towns due to all the people running around."

"That"s right." The boss said smirking. "Listen, Doll. Stick with us and you"ll never be bored again." He said smirking. Ken seemed to consider it for a brief moment. For a single second the boss could see the glint in Ken"s eyes. "I can tell. You"re like me, right? All that power but never able to use it for anything. It"s like a punch in the gut right? Never being able to do what you want because of the rules. Never being able to cut loose and have any fun. You go through the motions day in and day out. We are-"

"Nothing alike." Ken cut in giving off of a shrug. "My problem is far more devastating than simply not being able to have any fun. If I wanted to have fun I would simply attack a few people and get the Enforcers on me. Those guys would offer a good challenge... No, I can certainly have fun whenever I want. My problem is just this setup..."

The boss frowned for a moment before he forced a smile onto his face. He turned away from Ken as he began the walk back to the town. The group stayed silent none of them saying a word. There was now an air of hostility between the group as they marched back towards their town. It was apparent none of them had expected her to backtalk them.

Everyone stopped suddenly when they heard the sound of the snow being crushed under someone"s foot. They all looked ahead finding an old man walking towards the town that set in the distance. "An old man walking around this late at night?" Ken questioned tilting her head to the side. "That isn"t normal?"

"Looks like this is our lucky day! Let"s have a little fun..." The boss said smirking slightly as he began to march out towards the old man. "Hey, old dude." The old man turned back slowly surprised to see so many people behind him.

"Yes..." He said slowly his voice coming out raspy. "How can I help-"

One of the teens roughly shoved the old man to the ground causing him to fall into the snow below him. They all let out loud laughs as Ken watched frowning at the way they acted. She crossed her arms though waiting before she acted. She had robbed plenty of people in her day after all. She couldn"t get onto them for that. It is only normal for people to rob others, especially in a town like this. The only difference here was that when she did it the people could fight back...

The boss of the group smirked as he held his hands up. A tiny red light trickled out of his palm forming a small ball of energy that floated in the center of his hand. "Hey old man. My group and I wanted to get us a snack to eat. If you know what"s good for you, you"ll give us your wallet." He said cutting to the chase.

"Okay! Just please don"t hurt me." The old man croaked out as he pulled out a small brown wallet.

"Alright!" The boss said smirking as he yanked it out of the man"s hand. "Wow! This thing is packed full of Bells? We could-"

"I thought you said we"re going to do something fun?" Everyone went completely silent as they turned to face Ken who had a large frown on her face as her foot tapped at the snow in boredom.

"What?"

Ken shook her head slightly. "I don"t think picking on the helpless is any fun. If you want to have a laugh then you should find someone able to fight back. It"s all the more satisfying when you beat them. All you"re doing is nothing more than behaving like simple delinquents... If you aren"t going to do anything exciting then please let me know. I would rather not waste my time with this group..."

"What the h.e.l.l are you going on about?" The boss growled out. "You"re bored of life right? Then this should kill off that boredom. Terrorizing the weak. Showing off your power. It should give your life meaning. It should be what every person strives for after all."

"What every person strives for..." Ken went silent as she looked up at the blackened and polluted sky. Snow fell down slowly as Ken"s dull eyes took it all in. "You know... I used to have something I strived for once. A goal I used to work towards. Back then life was far more exciting. Training daily. Getting beat down every day but getting up stronger than before. The Order was a strange group but they gave me my goal... Even if I hated it every day. It was still better than this life of nothingness."

"Wow... You"re so edgy..."

The girl frowned as she folded her arms. "Don"t get me wrong. I am not depressed. I have my own dreams and desires. Even if my dream is silly..."

"Oh, and what"s that. What kind of dream could a depressed person possibly have?"

"When I was a child I always dreamed of becoming a world-famous superhero... A hero that everyone would remember years later. In a way. I guess you could say I wanted to be a good person? Who knows? Not me. All I do know is that I really don"t like you guys-" Ken"s fist shot out as she slammed her knuckle into the nose of one of the teen"s faces breaking their nose and several of their teeth. The teen fell back his eyes rolling into the back of his head as he hit the snow unconscious. Ken slid back grabbing the sword that hung from her belt. She didn"t unsheath it though. Instead, she held it up awkwardly, as she kept the sheath on.

"The h.e.l.l! You think you can just attack my friends and get away with it? Get her!"

Ken jumped back landing on the ball of her feet showing how nimble she was, as she avoided two strikes from two of the other teens. As she slid back she brought the sword up slamming it into the neck of a second goon throwing him back. The man slipped on the ice falling down as his head hit a rock.

As soon as she landed she fired forward at a breakneck speed slamming the hilt of her weapon down over one of the teen"s heads. She swung the weapon very awkwardly not actually having any clue how it should be used but she at least realized how to make it hurt. Each swing of the sheathed blade was full of flaws but she looked like she was having fun just madly swinging it around like a madwoman...

Ken twisted her body slamming the end of her weapon into the face of the third goon. A loud "snap" echoed out as the teen"s nose was completely shattered. As Ken twisted her body she brought her weapon up and uppercut the goon into the air where he eventually crashed into a tree.

With that, she finally stopped facing the last teen. The boss scowled at Ken as the young girl"s red eyes remained dull despite the fact she had a slight smile on her face. "You"re not even having fun beating up my friends... Fine then." He raised his hands up as a red light fired out. "Let"s see how you deal with this!" He yelled out as a ball of red energy fired out towards Ken as he used his Attribute.

Ken remained calm as she brought her weapon up. A red glow covered the weapon as she brought it down slamming it into the ball of energy. The ball of energy slammed into the snow exploding into a bright red light.

"How! How could you block my strongest-"

Ken rocketed forward punching the boss up and then proceeded to brutalize him as she hit the teen over, and over again with her weapon bring it down, then up. She pulled her fist back as it too glowed a bright red then brought her hand up punching the boy into the air.

As the goon flew up he dropped the wallet which Ken picked up quickly. The goon slammed into a tree painfully as he broke through it and crashed down into the snow completely unconscious.

Ken finally let out a sigh as she pocketed the wallet. She turned as she began to walk away from the scene back towards the town.

"What about me?" The old man asked as Ken began to walk away. "You"re gonna just leave me here? Also, can I have my wallet?"

"I"m pretty sure you can walk... Also no. I"m keeping your wallet. I earned it. You should probably leave." Ken said not looking back as she walked away. "If I were you I would hurry back to the town. Wouldn"t want to be here when they all wake up."

The old man seemed to gulp as he glanced at the body of the four teens. "I don"t think they"ll be getting up anytime soon..."

Ken walked forward as she let out a sigh. Her dull red eyes stared at the gate of the town. "I am glad I got to help someone but, I"m still just so bor-" Ken"s hand shot out catching a blue envelop that was falling in front of her.

The teen looked up hearing the sound of wings? Ken raised an eyebrow in confusion as a strand of blond hair fell from the sky dropping down into the snow below her.

With slight curiosity, she glanced down at the letter in her hands. It was a simple blue envelope that only had the words "Enforcer" written on it. The teen"s fingers reached up opening it slowly.

Ken read the letter not saying a word. Slowly her dull eyes began to light up and for a brief second, a smirk found its way onto her face.

"The Enforcers huh..."
