Enforcers

Chapter 20

Age 1990

"Ouch!" Hero yelled hissing in pain slightly as he tried to drag his body away from the girl.

"Oh relax..." Ken said rolling her eyes as she rubbed the ointment on his cheek. "It"ll only sting for a little bit... You want the bruising to go down right?" She questioned. "Besides... You"re way better off than me..." She said as she glanced down at her left arm which was in a cast. The burns on it had thankfully gone away but the arm was still broken. "My arm will take at least a day or two to heal. And even then our organs will take at least a week to be back to tip-top shape... d.a.m.n you, Dawson..."

Hero simply grumbled as he crossed his arms. "It still hurts..." He whined out.

The five now official Enforcer Recruits sat around in the Squad Six Common Room. With them was Dawson who sat in a corner quietly. Each of them was currently recovering from their insane over the top battle. Thankfully they had plenty of M-Gel which could heal bruising"s, and even broken bones within only a few days.

"Speaking of you being bruised Hero..." Kitsune pipped up as he turned to look at Hero. "During your fight with Max, your body healed on its own... Why isn"t it doing that now?"

"It is." Hero said hissing again as Ken rubbed the blue gel ointment on his face. He reached up lifting his shirt up slightly and showing off his honed body. His stomach seemed to bubble and morph slightly as everyone stared at it in shock as a white liquid seemed to morph from it. "My healing has a limit though... Right now it is busy fixing all the damage on my insides. It isn"t able to do multiple things at once..."

"Okay..." Kitsune said staring at Hero"s stomach. "I"ll ask what we"re all thinking... How the h.e.l.l is that a part of your Balloon Attribute?" He shouted out. "What does compression and inflation have to do with self-repairing?"

"It"s not!" Hero said smiling slightly as he gave a shrug.

"What?" Irene asked confused as she turned to look at the boy. "Then what is it? It"s not an Attribute right?"

"No, it is North." Hero stated shrugging.

"I"m confused..." Ken said blinking slightly.

"Hero, what exactly is your Attribute?" Cloud questioned. "I mean mine is the ability to create and control gases and covert gases into other types of ga.s.ses... Ken"s is the ability to enhance her body as well as any object she is holding to insane levels... Kitsune"s is the ability to access the powers of a nine-tailed fox and use foxfire... And North"s is the ability to create ice as well as shape it to an extent... So what"s yours?"

"I"m more interested in Dawson"s Attribute." Hero said shrugging slightly as he turned to look at Dawson. "That Red Demon mode was really cool and powerful!"

Dawson smirked slightly as he raised an arm up. "It"s a little hard to explain, but basically inside of my body, there is this substance made out of carbon that resembles muscles... These tiny carbon fragments are just like muscle fibers...My Attribute allows me to control and pull them out of my body." As he spoke his arm was suddenly wrapped up by what looked like muscles as it became a muscle red color. "I can coat my entire body in it or just a small fractions. These carbon fibers are extremely dense, as well as freakishly strong. And as you might have noticed I happen to look like a Demon while my entire body is covered... That was Jackson"s idea... After about three years of fighting like that the Red Demon became a legend."


"That"s a really cool power..." Hero said nodding his head as he folded his arms.

"Well now that I"ve told you mine, how about you tell me yours?" Dawson questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

Hero smirked as he brought his hand up. "So basically the thing about it is that I have-"

The door to the room suddenly burst open as Jackson came running in. "Alright, everyone! Get up! It"s time I show you guys around."

"But Hero was just about to tell us about his Attribute!" Ken objected.

"n.o.body cares about Hero"s lame-a.s.s superpower! Come on!" Jackson said.

"Well, actually Jackson I kind of care," Dawson said frowning.

"Dawson some of our squadmates are back! I wanna show them that we got some new recruits!" Jackson stated. "We hadn"t had any new recruits in like four years!"

"What!?" Dawson said in shock as he stood up. "They"re back? Then yeah let"s go. Forget about Hero"s lame-a.s.s superpowers! Let"s show these guys around our building!" He announced out.

"Oh well?" Hero said shrugging. "Guess I"ll tell you guys next time?"

Everyone grumbled slightly as they stood up. Jackson smirked as he raised his hand up. "Alright let me start by explaining a few things first..." Jackson stated. "Now as you might have noticed when you entered Oleander city, the Enforcers buildings were all ma.s.sive? There are thirteen buildings surrounded by a ma.s.sive Golden Gate. Anything past that Gate is Enforcer territory. Now each of the thirteen buildings are important. Twelve of the buildings belong to one squad for each individual Captain. For example, we are in building six. Building zero is the hub building... That building is where we will go to pick up missions. Its also where Master Storm, as well as the government officials, work. Now in our building, there are several different floors. Currently, we are in the commoner room. However, if you turn and follow me-"

Jackson turned vanishing as Dawson let out a sigh. "Duma.s.s forgot to slow down... Okay, kids follow me... I"ll lead you to where we should actually go-"

The group quickly left as they walked to a flight of stairs. "-This is the stairway. This building has around fifty floors but only a few of them stand out-"

Up the flight of stairs was floor two. This was a long hallway lined with several doors. A few of the doors were simply white doors with nothing on them. A few of the other doors had what looked like bronze badges. Farther into the hallways there were silver badges on the doors. Finally, there were gold badges on the final doors. And finally, at the end of the hallway, there were two doors. One labeled Captain"s room, the other one labeled Vice-Captains room.

"-This is our rooms. Since you are all new you will all be sharing room one. One of the rooms without a badge on it..."

"We have to share a room!" Irene said in a panic.

"Of course you do," Dawson stated. "After all you are all squadmates now. The Enforcers want you all to live together and get to know each other. Of course, Ken will get certain unique benefits to give her some privacy from all four of you boys..." He stated.

Irene grumbled a few choice words under her breath but didn"t say anything out loud.

"In your rooms, you"ll find most of what you need. Beds... Bathroom... That"s it actually."

"What no T.V?" Kitsune stated in horror.

"Nope. No heater either. If you want to add anything you"ll have to add anything else to the room yourself..." Dawson stated. The teen turns as the group walked up the flight of stairs.

They arrived to the third floor which was a ma.s.sive open room filled with several long wooden tables. Jackson stood in the room talking to two people as he waved his arms around. Hero"s eyes instantly lit up as he recognized one of them.

"Awesome Lady!" Hero announced running up, past his group. His eyes lit up like a star as he stared at the girl who saved him way back all those weeks ago.

"Oh! You"re that kid who I saved from that c.r.a.ppy bad guy..." Hannah said slowly as she stared at the kid. She turned slightly looking at Jackson. "So two things... One. He actually got in? Two. He actually got in?"

"Yep," Jackson said patting Hero on the back. "This guy is pretty tough. He has a lot of potential for sure. I bugged the h.e.l.l out of Katrina to vote for him."

"Really... He has a lot of potential? Didn"t he lose to a fodder character?" The man who was standing next to Hannah asked. Hero recognized him as well. He was the man that had asked him about the ruby ring.

"Hey! I only lost to Ben because I let my guard down, and because I was goofing off too much! If I fought him again I would win for sure! I mean I"m like... Three... Maybe four times stronger since I fought him?"

"He"s telling the truth, Hero has been getting stronger after every fight he is in..." Jackson said nodding slightly. "Hero has some crazy abilities. He suffers from being a ma.s.sive duma.s.s but his heart is in the right place..." He said.

"Thank you- Hey! Wait a minute!"

Jackson laughed as he avoided the swat from Hero easily.

"Okay? I can get that he"s strong?" Hannah said shrugging. "But for him to have pa.s.sed the test? No one has pa.s.sed Katrina"s test since she set it up four years ago? She"s been Captain for four years and not a single new recruit was added ever since she started that d.a.m.n test of hers..."

"Hero pa.s.sed alright. And he wasn"t the only one." Jackson said as he pointed a thumb out. Hannah and the man both turned finding Dawson walking up followed by four more recruits.

"Five!" Hannah exclaimed out in shock. "You guys got five new recruits! Yes! We might not be considered such a ma.s.sive jerk anymore!"

"Yep!" Jackson exclaimed nodding his head. "It was pretty cool watching them fight Dawson."

"So they pa.s.sed the test?" Hannah said as she let out a laugh. "Well, I"ll be d.a.m.ned."

"That reminds me?" Hero exclaimed. "How did we pa.s.s the test? We weren"t able to touch Dawson once he activated his power, much less beat him?"

"The test was nerve really about beating me," Dawson announced as he folded his arms. "As it stands the way all five of you are now you stand less than 0% at stopping me even at using a quarter of my strength-"

"You were only using a quarter of your power!" Ken said in shock. "That"s so dumb..."

"About half a quarter yeah... Anything else would have killed you all in one attack. But that"s not important." Dawson said brushing the question off. "The point is you stood no way of stopping me. The test was actually about not giving up. As an Enforcer the odds will almost never be in your favor. You will usually only have a 1% chance of winning a fight, maybe even less. But even despite those odds, you are required to stand back up. Being an Enforcer means getting back up no matter what happens to you. Even if you used up all your power. Even if your legs won"t allow you to stand up. You haven"t truly lost until you have given your final breath!"

"Don"t worry about what any of that means..." Hannah said pushing past Dawson and shoving the man over. She held her hand out to Ken as she smiled. "I"m Hannah." She stated as she shook Ken"s hand. "I"m one of your Squadmates. I am a Gold Badge so you can consider me your teacher! Feel free to ask me anything. But don"t expect me to answer you guys as I don"t like helping people unless I get something out of it. But feel free to still ask."

"I have something to ask you," Jackson said. "Give me back my pet!" He demanded.

Hannah let out a sigh as she rolled her eyes. "Are we still arguing about that?"

"You stole him without asking me at all!" Jackson yelled out. "Just give him back! I"ll lend you him if you ask nicely! Just stop stealing him!"

Hannah rolled her eyes again. "Whatever. I"ll give him back." The girl closed her eyes and all the recruits stared in shock when a pair of black wings appeared out of her back. Then slowly a Bestia Macht pulled its way out of her body.

"A Bestia Macht is your pet!" Irene exclaimed jumping back.

The flying Bestia Macht flapped its wings as it let out a loud kaw! Then it flew over landing on Hero"s shoulder.

"Hey! This is the Bestia Macht that saved me!" Hero said as he reached out petting the monster"s scales and feathers. It kawed loudly apparently liking that.

"It seems like Fulminous likes you," Jackson said as he held his hand out. The Bestia Macht let out another kaw as it flew over landing on Jackson"s arm.

"You"re keeping that thing as a pet..." Irene said scowling as she frowned heavily. "I can"t believe you."

"Why? What"s wrong with it?" Jackson asked curiously?

"It"s a Bestia Macht! It kills and eats people!" Irene shouted out like it was obvious.

"Oh... Well if you don"t like Bestia Macht"s you should probably know that there is one on your shoulder." Jackson said shrugging slightly.

Irene glanced down and instantly let out a loud yell in panic as she jumped back. A long slithery Bestia Macht fell to the floor. The thing looked like a tentacle but with a body? Like its body was just one long tentacle. It had no arms, no legs, no hands, no feet. It didn"t have a tail either but it did have an end at the tentacle that resembled a tail. The creature had one triangular like head with a small tongue that would poke out slightly. It had ma.s.sive eyes that glanced around the room as it slithered towards Dawson and wrapped itself around him.

"Hey Silky..." Dawson said slowly as he patted the monster on the head. "Have you been a good girl?"

The Bestia Macht hissed slightly as it opened and closed its jaw.

"Well fine then! No treats for you!" Dawson said turning away from the creature. "Go to your corner and think about what you did..." The Bestia Macht hissed slightly as it slithered off of the man and slowly made its way over to a corner.

"What the f.u.c.k did I get myself into!" Irene said horrified.

"The Enforcers!" Hannah stated reaching out air patting the girl on the shoulder. "Welcome to your new home... Or as I call it! h.e.l.l."
