Enforcers

"Alright!" Jackson said nodding his head at everyone in the room. "Here"s the plan..." He stated. The group was currently all seated in the cabin they were given. Maudite also sat in the room now apparently a sort of but not really member of the team for some unexplained reason? "I"m gonna go talk to that guy I beat up. He said he knew the location of the Nest. I"m gonna ask him and we"ll move on from there..."

"Are we really going to have to battle a Nest?" Kitsune questioned nervously.

"Are they really that bad?" Maudite questioned curiously.

"Yeah... According to the official Enforcers handbook it takes at least two gold badge Enforcers to handle a Nest. Jackson is the only member here who actually has a badge at all..." Kitsune stated letting out a light gulp. "As it stands we are really lacking in numbers..." He muttered out.

"And we won"t be getting any backup," Jackson said shaking his head. "If there really is a Nest it needs to be dealt with right away... We just destroyed a ma.s.sive horde of Bestia Macht about an hour ago... Chances are that really p.i.s.sed the Nest off... Until it"s gone they will continue to attack... We need to get down there and destroy it immediately before it can create a strong enough Bestia Macht to defeat us..."

"It can do that?" Ken said shocked.

"Yeah... The Nest is a collection of dead creatures as I said earlier. If need be it will use those parts to create a new creature. It"ll keep making stronger and stronger ones until either it runs out or we are defeated... And quite personally I don"t like those chances..." Jackson stated shaking his head. He stood up as he turned to the door. "I"m gonna go find out where that Nest is... I"ll decide what to do after that..."

And with that, the Vice-Captain left the room...

"d.a.m.n this sucks!" Kitsune said finally as he threw something at the wall. "Our first mission and it turns out this horrible! And worse yet it"s only an hour in! I swear time is so inconsistent all of a sudden..."

"Quit your whining." Irene sighed out as she ran a hand through Hero"s hair. "It could be worse."

"How could it possibly be worse?"

"You could be in a comma..." Cloud pointed out.

"Oh yeah..." Kitsune said. "Right... Guess I got it lucky compared to Hero... d.a.m.n it!"

"What now?"

"That a.s.shole doesn"t even know what"s been happening since he"s been knocked out! As far as he knows the mission is over!" Kitsune cursed as he hit the wall again. "d.a.m.n him..."

"Stop complaining..." Irene said rolling her eyes.

"Never!"

"How"s his fever?" Cloud questioned.

"I think it"s gone now..." Irene stated letting out a sigh. "He seems like he"s breathing a lot better to... I think that he"ll make a full recovery at this rate..."

"That"s good..." Cloud stated nodding his head. "Honestly Hero"s the only person on this team I can talk too... Everyone else is just a ma.s.sive a.s.shole-" The blind teen ducked down avoiding a bottle thrown by Kitsune.

"So Maudite?" Ken questioned moving closer towards the twelve-year-old girl. "Earlier you were talking about your Attribute? You know. Before Jackson interrupted you." She stated curiously as she c.o.c.ked her head at the younger girl.

"Oh... That." Maudite suddenly grew nervous as she gave a slight shrug. "It"s kind of hard to explain?"

"I"m Listening," Ken stated.

"I got nothing better to do?" Kitsune said nodding throwing something at the wall for no reason.

"I like learning new things," Cloud said shrugging.

"I want to know how you had the lights and that power..." Irene stated nodding her head.

"In short I think they want you to tell them." Hero said simply nodding his head.

"Right," Ken said nodding. "I agree with Hero- Wait a minute?"

Everyone in the room stopped as they all did a double-take. Slowly everyone glanced down at Hero. "Sup." The boy said raising up slightly. "By the way next time I would prefer to have my head in Ken"s lap-"

"Hero!"

The young boy had time to widen his eyes as four people suddenly tackled him to the ground. Maudite watched the recruits all dogpile on the poor boy as he groaned in pain. "Still recovering..." Hero gasped out in pain.

Everyone quickly got off of him after that. "I am so sorry..." Irene said as she placed a hand on the boy"s shoulder. "Because of me, you got badly injured... And... Are your eyes silver now?" Irene said stopping when she noticed the boys bright silver eyes.

Hero reached up placing a hand over his eye. "My contacts are gone?" He said in slight confusion. "Weird..."

"Hero... Are you okay?" Irene questioned. "You were badly injured, were running an insane fever less than half an hour ago, were mumbling random nonsense, and now your eyes are a different color? I was really worried... When I saw you get hurt..."

"Ahh, it"s fine." Hero said shrugging. "I was never worried. I knew my Attribute would save me." He said nodding slightly as he folded his arms. "I had this really weird dream though." The boy scrunched his eyes up as if trying to remember. "There was this hospital? And I think a flying lab coat? I dunno..." The boy said throwing his hands behind his head. "It was kind of weird? but in the good way... I think?" He let out a sheepish laugh as he shrugged.

"h.e.l.lo..." Maudite said quietly as Hero eyed her up. "I"m-"

"You"re Maudite right?" Hero said shrugging. "The girl whose hair, and eye color can change right?"

"How did you-"

"You were in my dream..."

"Oh... That..." The girl stepped away as all eyes were on her now. "I-I"m sorry I wasn"t able to pull you out of the dream myself. Your mind attacked me, I think, and there was this white sludge, and you might wanna see a therapist..."

"Ahh, it"s fine?" Hero said brushing the girl off. "My own mind attacks me too! It was only natural it would go crazy when a stranger got in!" He said casually. "But enough about me. You were just about to talk about your Attribute?" He pointed out.

Instantly all eyes were back on the girl as she backed up slightly. "Umm... Well..."

"You don"t have to tell us if you don"t want to," Ken said.

"No, it"s fine..." Maudite said smiling slightly. "It"s just... Well, I don"t really know what it does really... Growing up we are told not to use our Attributes inside the village... It"s only recently that I even used it... Last month. I was attacked by a Bestia Macht. My Attribute activated on its own and I defended myself... It was like I was dreaming... I could feel myself move but I wasn"t actually there... The next day a villager threw something at me and once again my body reacted on its own... There"s this red chaotic energy that swirls around me when I use it... It took me a whole month of trial and error but I eventually found out how to use it without that other side of me getting out though it"s far weaker, and it a shade of blue... Now... I here this dark sinister voice... It"s always telling me to let it out, but I"m afraid each time what it will do if I listen to it... It takes everything in my power to reel it back in and each time it gets harder and harder..." The girl balled up slightly as she stared down at the ground. "That"s why this village hates me... I"m a witch."

Ken reached out patting the young girl on the shoulder. "I"m sure you just lack control over your Attribute..." Ken stated. "Mine was the same way. When I was younger it was hard for me to control and vary my power." She said simply. "If I"m not careful it"ll destroy my body... I"m sure that with proper training you"ll have control over it."

"You really think so?" The girl said in an unsure way.

"I know so."

"That"s all well and good," Kitsune stated as he turned over to look at Hero. "But there"s still someone who hasn"t explained their Attribute yet..."

Hero stepped back letting out a slightly nervous laugh as he realized all eyes were on him now. "Right... I guess its finally time I do that right huh? Well... Basically, the general gist of it is that-"

The door to the room suddenly burst open as Jackson came crashing in. "Alright, guys! It"s time to-"

"Crack!"

The sound of the frying pan slamming into Jacksons face echoed out, as the man hit the floor unconscious. Everyone stared in shock as Ken brought her arm down. "You can continue Hero. Jackson won"t be interrupting you this time." She said simply.

"Geez..." Hero said stepping back. "I guess you guys really, really wanna know what it is huh?" He stated letting out a bit of a nervous laugh again.

"h.e.l.l yeah, we do," Kitsune stated. "Every time you start to explain something interrupts you. It"s as if some cosmic force is stopping you from talking until a specific moment to build said moment up or something?"

Hero took a deep breath as he smiled. "How about I start by telling you the name of my Attribute. I call it Molecular Fusion..."

"You call it that?" Cloud said raising an eyebrow. "So then its a new or unseen ability?"

Usually when an Attribute pops up the government will name it. However, every now and again a newer and rare ability will pop up. If that is the case the user can name it.

"In a way, I guess you can say that?" Hero said. Slowly he reached up placing a hand over his heart. "Inside of my body is the combination of three Attributes!" He announced.

The entire room went silent as they all stared at him. "I thought you were gonna tell us?"

"I am! Three Attributes exist inside of my body letting me do all my cool stuff!" Hero said nodding his head slightly. Everyone stared at him with a deadpan stare. "I"m telling the truth!"

"Hero. A person can only have one Attribute..." Kitsune said letting out a sigh as he shook his head. "Only monsters can have more than one Attribute..."

"Well, technically it is one Attribute... It"s just one that is broken up into three pieces that are combined together..." Hero said shrugging slightly.

"There are many different kinds of Attributes," Kitsune stated as he got ready for a really, really long rant. "When a baby is born four things can happen. The first is that they can be born with their father"s Attribute. This is a 40% chance. The second is that they can be born with their mother"s Attribute. This is also a 40% chance. The third is that they will be born with a completely different Attribute of their own that is not from their parents. This is a 15% chance. And finally and the rarest. They can be born with what the Government has dubbed as a Super Attribute. This is a 5% chance. A Super Attribute is different from any other Attribute. It is a fusion of the parent"s Attributes. A Super Attribute takes both the two Attributes combining them together and creating something with millions of times more potential than the two that came before it. Now in some cases, it is true that this can seem like a person has multiple Attributes since the ability can do a whole lot but, in actuality, it is all one power that is just really op... I myself possess a Super Attribute. Super Attributes, are just powers that can do several different things, for example, my Nine-Tailed Attribute gives me the power to control foxes flames, heal faster, and super strength but it still all comes from one power that is all about the foxes..." Kitsune stated. "However even if that is what you were going with it is impossible to have a three-way fusion with Attributes. A person with a Super Attribute will have dominate genes when having a kid and as such their child will have a 100% chance of being born with their Attribute. The only exception to this rule is if two people with Super Attributes have a kid in which case it is a 50% split in both parents as to which one the child will take after. So if you did have a Super Attribute it would only be two combinations and not three as you are claiming." He said as he crossed his arms.

"Look I don"t know what to tell you..." Hero said shrugging slightly. "I don"t know a whole lot of it myself, other than the fact that there are three Attributes inside my body. My Grandpa only gave me bits and pieces of the information, as he didn"t like to talk about it a lot, for reasons that I have still yet to figure out... But I know it involves an Attribute called the Monsterfication?"

"The Monsterfication!" Everyone turned finding Jackson was standing up again now seemingly awake. He walked forward grabbing Hero as he stared into the boy"s silver eyes. "Oh, G.o.d... Those Silver eyes... How did I not see it before? Hero! You"re a Seraphim!" Jackson stated in shock.

"A what?" Kitsune asked.

"Yeah? A what?" Hero questioned also not knowing what the man meant.

"A Seraphim..." Jackson said letting out a heavy sigh as he slumped down. "During age 972 there existed a clan... This was ma.s.sive family who possessed the Super Attribute known as Monsterfication, that they pa.s.sed down for years... By age 1000 they were something to truly be feared... With their Attribute, they could regenerate lost limbs, grow their bodies into actual monsters, And power themselves up to almost Captain levels of power, even if they never bothered to train themselves... However, it wasn"t until age 1106 that the world finally decided to wipe them out, deeming them to be to strong... A mad scientist by the name of Ilya Ivanov found out a disturbing fact. You see the Monsterfication grows by actually creating new cells and expanding out... These cells are temporarily blank and will bond themselves with any nearby living object molding themselves after that and changing themselves into that thing. While the healing did have its limits at the time this was the best healing Attribute. It was so good in fact that it became the catalyst for a new super solider project... Project Seraphim. Because of the fact that the cells are blank and they mold themselves after a host, Ilya found a way to create the first-ever man with multiple Attributes... A human monster. This would later go on to create the Corruption. Ilya would cut up a person with the Monsterfication taking out organs, bones, and blood, then he would take a normal man and cut him open replacing that mans parts with the parts of the Monsterfication... 99% of the time this resulted in death... However, that rare 1% moment was the golden opportunity... While the Monsterfication was thrashing around inside of a person you could take a third person cut them open and place their parts inside of the man who had the Monsterfication placed in him. The Monsterfication would slowly adapt to this new body modeling itself for its host and taking on their DNA. At this point though the host would be far to damaged to survive so taking drastic measures it would break down the foreign parts from the third guy molding them to its new host. The results if the person could survive would be a man with three Attributes... His own, the Monsterfication, and whatever the third Attribute was... It was a homemade Super Attribute made with the combination of three... This will result in the third persons death... The second person will live now stronger then ever and the first person who actually has the Monsterfication? Well in all sense they are alive but I doubt they care much about anything. Being repeatedly cut opened and forced to heal will do that too you..."

"That... That"s horrible." Ken said with wide eyes as she fell to her knees. Maudite reached out patting the girl"s shoulder.

"I see... So that"s how it"s done..." Hero said. His face was pale as he placed a hand over his stomach slowly. "You shouldn"t rush to your death... You have no idea the sacrifices that were made to get you to where you are..." Those had been the words that his grandfather had said. I guess he know knew what he had meant. "So... So then that girl..." He let out a slightly nervous laugh as his knees buckled. Cloud reached out grabbing the boy on the shoulder.

"Hero whatever horrible event happened in your life you are not to blame. You didn"t ask for it... I hope." The blind teen said slowly. "Also this would be a really bad time to start freaking out... We need you at your A game, for the Nest... I hate to tell you this but suck it up for now, and don"t think about it. If you get distracted..."

"Yeah... you"re right." Hero said nodding slightly as he stepped back. "It doesn"t matter too much anyways. I barely remember any of the events from when I was a kid, and right now it doesn"t change anything..."

"Hero," Jackson said reaching out and grabbing the teen as well now. "Listen. You are serious about this right?" Jackson asked slowly.

"Yeah..." Hero said nodding. "I.. I don"t remember much from my childhood... I do remember there being a young girl though... She was the one with the Monsterfication, I think? I dunno though... I guess we were both experimented on?" Hero stated quietly as he stared at the ground. "I guess I always had a feeling that my Grandpa experimented on me that way, but..." He trailed off slowly.

"Okami Otoko knew!" Jackson said in shock as he stared down at the boy. "I"ll need to tell the others when we get back..." He muttured out.

"Yeah. He"s the one that wanted it to happen." Hero stated nodding. "He wanted me to undergo advance cybernetics but I refused. We had a fight and he kicked me out? Or really I kicked myself out." Hero said a bit b.u.mmed out. "We ended up starting a bet to see if I could improve without him? I got four years to show him I can get stronger with how I am now."

"Hero. Explain each of your three Attributes to me..." Jackson said.

"Why?"

"Because I said so." The man said with a deadpan stare. "I heard the Monsterfication can alter how an Attribute normally works considering the fact that it just mashes two more into it? I want to know how you work now."

Hero let out a slight sigh as he gave a shrug. "Well first off is my Attribute, as in the one I was born with. The power I was born with, is kind of weird in a way... It"s called Balloon. With it, I can inflate my body like a Balloon making it lighter, bulky, and bouncy, or I can compress my body down, making it stronger, and st.u.r.dier. I can use both of those power on just one body part or my whole body. Although its easier to compress my whole body and its easier to inflate one limb." Hero stated nodding his head. "I can only use one of my Attributes at a time though. I use the Balloon Attribute the most since I am really good at the inflation and compression ability. I can still use my other two, I"m just not as good with those as I am with my own Attribute."

"Wait..." Maudite said suddenly getting everyone to turn to her. "You can only use one at a time?"

"Yeah. I haven"t been able to master any of them since they are all so different from each other."

"Okay but your Inflation and Compression aren"t different abilities since they come from the same Attribute right? So doesn"t that mean you could inflate and then compress the same limb since they are both the same power?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ken let out a heavy sigh. "You... You never bothered to try have you..."

"So! My second power..." Hero stated changing the topic. "My second power is the Monsterfication... With it, I can increase my own ma.s.s and power myself up to some pretty big extent. Although I am bad at using it, and I can lose control if I keep using it... Currently, I can buff up one of my arms to a ma.s.sive proportion." As if to prove his point his right arm suddenly buffed up to the extreme. The limb became extremely swollen and buffed up becoming just a ma.s.sive muscle of a limb. The entire limb shook from the power it had in it... "This isn"t like me inflating my limb..." Hero said with gritted teeth. "Where as with the Balloon Attribute I pump air into my muscle to inflate it, what I am doing here is adding on ma.s.s, by creating new muscle into the limb..." He said as the arm shook. The entire arm just looked unnatural. It looked like that arm had worked out its entire life, then was pumped full of steroids. The arm was almost as big as his body. Then as quick as it was there it was gone, as his arm simply went back to normal. "Ouch! It hurts so much, to do that..."

"I see..." Jackson said nodding his head slightly. "Then earlier when you were fighting those Barons that"s what you were doing... You were using that limb... But what of your third and final Attribute?"

"And my last Attribute..." Hero went silent for a moment as he folded his arms and stared at the ground. "My last Attribute is my mother"s Attribute..." He said clearing his throat slightly as Jackson let out a sympathetic hiss... "It"s called living nano... With it, my body is filled up with these tiny living creatures all around the size of a cell, or in some cases even smaller. They fix my body and put it back together when it is damaged. I have control over my own Ability the most... Currently, as I stated earlier, I can only use one power at a time... This is why I can"t heal when I am expanded, or compressed... Or why I can"t fight while I"m healing." Hero gave a slight shrug as he forced a small smile on his face. "So there you go. Those are each of my Attributes. Well, technically only one Attribute that is a combination of the three that I call Molecular Fusion, because I think the name sounds cool!"

"I see..." Jackson said nodding. "At least I know what I"m working with." He let out a slight sigh. "I"ll inform my grandpa about the situation when we get back... For now just don"t think about it, Hero... I don"t want this affecting your skills..."

"Believe me... I really don"t want to think about it..." Hero said simply.

"What now?" Kitsune asked quietly as the mood was pretty much killed by the ma.s.sive revelation.

"Now we finish the mission..." Jackson stated. "We can worry about Hero, and his story later. There isn"t anything that can be done about it now though... For now, let"s focus on finishing this mission."

"He"s right." Hero said nodding. "It"s time we end this... This mission has gone on for long enough..."
