Enforcers

"An Earl is often considered too powerful for a normal Enforcer to handle on their own... It usually takes several dozen Enforcers all teaming up, or one superpowerful lone Enforcer..."

Jackson let out a loud yell as he reached behind him pulling out a small metallic box. He clicked the b.u.t.ton as the entire thing unfolded into a ma.s.sive greatsword that he brought down just as the Earl in front of him swooped down. His sword became a makeshift shield as the monster slammed its body into him throwing the Vice-Captain back as his feet ripped up the snow behind him.

"An Earl!" Irene said startled.

"That"s not all!" Cloud announced in a panic. From down the mountain, several Baron"s all suddenly jumped up joining in the battle. All of them looked alike, as they all had grey fur, two buffed up powerful legs, with razor-sharp claws, and a long tail that swished back and forth through the air. Their heads were turned upside down as their mouths hung open reviling rows of razor-sharp teeth.

All of the Baron"s let out a hungry growl as they stepped forward slowly their eyes never leaving the two teens.

"You guys try and fight off the Baron"s!" Jackson yelled out as he dodged a swipe from the Earl. "I got the Earl..." He stated as he turned back to the monster in front of him.

It was actually quite pretty, for a ma.s.sive deadly beast... It stood at nearly fourteen feet tall on four very powerful legs. Its body was very lean and two strong and majestic wings sprouted from behind its body. Its head came down as its silver eyes stared at the humans in front of it with anger. Its head looked almost like a beak. Shining white scales ran along its body as its jaws opened and a loud yell was let out. Ice exploded off of it as a white mist began to form. The things wings spanned out as a wave of cool air was kicked up.

"It"s calling for more Barons!" Jackson hissed out in a slight panic as he brought his sword up with one hand pointing it towards the monster in front of him. "Kids! Whatever you do, don"t die! I really don"t want to have to explain this to Katrina when we get back..." He sighed out. The young Vice-Captain took a deep breath as he tried to give himself some confidence. His electric blue eyes opened slowly as the focused on the Earl in front of him. Then he charged letting out a mighty yell as he dragged his greatsword on the ground. Lighting exploded off of him coming down in arks.

The man and monster clashed as sword met claws! Jackson almost seemed to fly through the air as lightning crackled off of him. The Earl let out a loud roar as its jaws opened firing out a beam of ice that froze whatever it touched.

Jackson disappeared flashing away as he suddenly appeared above the creature dropping down from the sky slamming the blunt side of his blade upside the monster"s head as hard as he could. "Die, die, die, die, die!" He shouted out as he slammed his sword into the beast again, and again.

The Earl let out a loud roar as its tail came down slamming into Jackson throwing the boy into the ground as hard as it could. As soon as the human dropped down the monster tried to tackle it. Jackson"s sword was in front of him blocking the attack as he held his ground.

The Earl reared up on its back legs as its claws shined. Jackson"s eyes narrowed as an explosion of blue lighting cracked around him. Then simultaneously the two sliced at each so hard and so fast they both became an afterimage of strikes as the two slammed into each other!

"Ha!"

"Raw!"

The sounds of yelling and roars echoed out into the black sky as ice met lightning, and lightning met scales. Blade met claws, and flesh met pain! Blood splattered across the floor as Jackson slashed the monster"s chest!

Jackson twirled around bringing his sword down as the tail of the monster fired out blocking the strike of the man. The Earl threw its clawed hand out badly cutting the man in front of it as Jackson let out an animalistic yell of pain.

Blood splattered onto the snow and ice as Jackson slid back clutching his bleeding shoulder. Bright blue lightning crackled around it as steam rose from his wound and seconds later the slash was burned closed as Jackson let out a roar of pain.

The monsters jaw opened as it fired out a beam of ice into the air as it began to slam it down intending to use its finishing move! It was time to end this!

Jackson brought his sword up above his head and into the air as lightning crackled off of it. "Flying Thunder! First Wave!" He announced slamming it down as hard as he could right as the beam of light hit!

A ma.s.sive boom could be heard as the sound barrier exploded and an arking wave of blue light slammed into the wave easily forcing its way past and straight towards the beast pushing it back and badly burning it as it sliced into the monster. Then suddenly the wave of lightning exploded out, sending a blue flash through the area as the entire mountain seemed to shake from this colossal battle between the two.

Meanwhile over with Irene and Cloud, the two teens jumped back dodging a clawed hand from some very p.i.s.sed off Bestia Macht. They all did their best to hold on as a walking nuke, and giant monster did battle only meters away from them.

Lightning wouldn"t stop raining from the sky as all the Bestia Machts let out howls of anger and pain.

Irene raised both her hands as a ma.s.sive pillar of ice was suddenly created above her head. "I don"t have time to deal with all of you!" She shouted out. Then she slammed her hands down as the ma.s.sive pillar dropped down crushing the many Bestia Machts that got in her way. "Die!" She announced using the same finisher she had used on Dawson.

The pillar dropped down flatting most things underneath it as it crushed almost all of the monsters.

"Let me have a go at it..." Cloud stated holding his cane up to his mouth. "New move! Smoke Blade!" He blew on the end of the cane as he brought it towards the left. A ma.s.sive wave of thin smoke-fired out slicing a Bestia Macht in half as if it was a blade. Blood splattered out as the monster was split in half.

Any creature that touched the smoke fell apart as others were crushed to death. The two Enforcers both threw their arms out as an explosion of ice and mist fired out killing all that was left. When it finally cleared only one Bestia Macht remained.

The Bestia Macht growled out in pain as blood leaked from its wounds. It took a step forward causing its frozen limb to shatter. Despite that though the Baron"s eyes glared at the group as its grey fur was stained red.

"Just one Baron left..." Cloud said raising his cane up.

"Wait!" Irene said suddenly as she stared at the thing in confusion. "What is it doing?" She questioned. The Baron"s jaw opened up as it began to spit up an orange liquid? Cracks began to form all across its body as it glowed a bright orange. Irene"s eyes widened as she realized what was happening. "Quick! Kill it before it can e-"

The Bestia Macht let out a ma.s.sive roar as all of the damage on its body instantly healed. It regrew its limbs then it began to get bigger. The Baron let out a ma.s.sive yelp of power as it exploded in an orange energy. Then the energy began to take shape!

Threat Level... Viscount.

"Whoa!" Cloud said in shock. "Since when can they just do that?"

The new Viscount stepped forward as its eyes glared at the two shocked kids. The Viscount looked similar to what it had been before but now with some key changes. For one it had two heads. Both its heads were also right side up. Two powerful tails slammed into the ground repeatedly as green saliva dripped down the mouth of the two heads... Its body had become even bigger now standings at nearly ten feet tall. It now had four powerful legs instead of just two and those legs had ma.s.sive black iron claws coming off of them. It still had grey fur but most of that far was covered up by a black iron like armor that coated its entire body.

"What the h.e.l.l! It can just go "poof" and become a bigger monster!" Irene said in shock. "The thing almost doubled in size and got a second head and a suit of armor! What the h.e.l.l half of that sentence doesn"t even make sense?" The girl who was dressed as a boy said in utter confusion.

"I can feel a wave of power coming off of it..." Cloud said with concern. "This is gonna be trouble... Is Jackson done with his fight?" He questioned.

"No..." Irene said shaking her head. "I think it"s up to us... We"re so screwed..."

"We can do this..."

"No, we can"t! Ken, Hero, Kitsune! Those are the guys that should be fighting a Viscount! Not me or you! We"re weak! We don"t have their spark! What if it kills us! What if we get injured. What if we can"t beat it! What if-"

"Stop worrying!" Cloud barked out. "We don"t have time to go over what-ifs! That thing is coming! So stop being hesitant and just fight it!"

The Viscount let out a ma.s.sive roar as it charged forward its four powerful legs digging into the snow as it tore its way forward intending to rip the two humans in front of it into shreds. Its body bent back as it jumped forward! Both its head snapped open as Cloud, and Irene just barely managed to avoid being devoured.

"Worry about what you can do later!" Cloud yelled out. "For now just attack it!" He shouted out as he brought his cane up. Green mist fired out towards the beast.

The Viscount brought its arm up punching the ground as hard as it could sending a shock wave out that scattered the mist. Both its jaws opened as a green liquid fired out melting the snow next to Cloud.

"c.r.a.p! It has acid too!" Cloud hissed out as he jumped away from the melting puddle.

Irene raised her hands as they glowed a light blue. Then suddenly the glowing stopped.

"Why the h.e.l.l did you stop!" Cloud shouted.

"I don"t think that attack would work... I need to... I should..." Irene froze up as her mind tried coming up with a plan.

"Just hit it!" Cloud screamed.

The girl raised her hands as a spike of ice fired out. The Viscount swung out smacking the attack away as one of its tails snaked around Irene"s leg pulling her back as it turned its body throwing her straight into Cloud.

The two teens slipped falling down the mountain slightly as they both hit a rock.

"Oww..." Irene gasped out in pain as she clutched her side. Her ribs were definitely broken.

"Listen!" Cloud hissed out grabbing the girl. "North! I don"t care what happened in your life. I don"t care why you are hesitating so much. What I do care about is that if you don"t stop you will get both of us killed. So whatever is causing you to panic do me a favor and just ignore it!" He shouted out in anger.

"But I need to do my best!" Irene yelled out. "If I don"t then people will get hurt... And it means... It means he is superior to me... We were twins but he mastered his Attribute, he can work under pressure, he got a letter-"

"What part of I don"t care do you not understand!" Cloud screamed out as he got his cane standing back up. "Now get back up. And listen to me. It"s okay to come up with a plan during a battle. It"s okay to want to do your best and think under pressure. But it is not okay to freeze up then choose to do nothing! So suck it up and help me!"

Irene flinched slightly as she stared at the ground. "I"ll do my best-"

"I don"t want your best. That isn"t good enough. I want perfection." Cloud stated as he stared up the mountain. "Get ready. Here that thing comes..."

The Viscount tore its way down the mountain as both its heads spat out globs of acid. Its two tails fired out, as a black spike was launched out towards the two teens.

Cloud and Irene both jumped farther down the mountain taking a plunge. Cloud brought his cane up as a wave of mist fired out slicing into the side of the beast as it fell. "North! Attack it!" He announced out as the two still fell, the ground quickly getting closer.

Irene took a deep breath as she raised both her hands up. A ball of ice fired out exploding into a hail of snow that surrounded the eyes of the monster causing it to let out a yell of anger from its lack of sight.

"Great! Now I can- Hold on!" Cloud yelled suddenly as he reached out grabbing Irene. He pulled the girl over to him as the two slammed down into the ground from there fall. Cloud yelled in pain as he took the brunt of the damage. The two tumbled down the mountain now like a ball as they both fell even further.

The two teens finally stopped as they reached the bottom of the mountain. Irene let out a gasp of pain as she rolled off of Cloud. The boy was badly beaten and bruised as he tried to get up. His cane was dented and twist sideways and looked as if it would break in half.

"Cloud!" Irene said horrified as she stared at his beaten-up body. "Are you okay?"

"Forget about me..." Cloud coughed out. "That thing will be back. We need to beat it here and now..."

"Right-" Irene spun on her hills throwing her arms out as a ma.s.sive wall of ice appeared right as the monster slammed its body into it. The wall shook as it began to crack. Cloud rolled over onto his side as he tried to stand up. "Cloud... You can"t keep fighting like this. You are way to hurt-"

"Have you learned nothing about joining the Enforcers?" Cloud hissed out as he forced himself to stand back up. He dropped his bent cane down as he turned his body to look past the ice wall. "Never give up! No matter what. If you can"t get that through your head then you have no reason wanting to be an Enforcer!"

"You"re right..." Irene said quietly as the wall shook. "I don"t have a right to join the Enforcers... But... I"m here now! I"m not going anywhere. I will become an Enforcer. A great Enforcer. I"ll become my Enforcer."

"Then stop hesitating and just attack!"

The wall began to crack more and more as it shook. "Cloud... You can make any type of gas, or mist right?" Irene questioned.

"So far I can."

"I have a plan..."

The Viscount slammed its body into the wall finally breaking past it. Both its jaws let out a ma.s.sive roar as it charged forward. It jumped forward flying towards both teens.

"Now!" Irene shouted out.

Both teens raised their hands out as a white mist fired out of Cloud"s hands, and a blue glow shined from Irene"s. The Viscount let out a yell as it flew through the air. Then slowly ice began to cover its body as it became a frozen statute flying through the air.

Irene stepped up lifting her hand up. "Breakaway..." She stated. The statue suddenly stopped as it defied gravity. Then several cracks covered its body as it exploded sending chunks of them everywhere...

Both teens let out heavy sighs as they collapsed back unconscious. "That sucked..." Cloud said breathing heavily. "That thing was stupidly strong..."

"Yeah... We"re just lucky you were able to make a liquid nitrogen like gas to help me freeze that thing down to the bone..." Irene said letting out a gasp. "I wonder how Jackson is going..."

Meanwhile, up on the mountain, Jackson sidestepped the monster as he slid back. He raised his sword bringing it down on the monster"s head and slicing it clean off.

The Earl let out a loud yelp of pain as it slid back. It"s once pretty looking white scales had become an ugly black and red. It had several gashes all along its body and smoke was rising off of it.

Jackson too was pretty beat up. His outfit was in tatters, and his skin was blistered and cut. Blood leaked out of his wounds dripping down onto the snow. Jackson hissed out as he stabbed his sword into the ground. "It"s about time I get serious..." He stated. He brought both his arms up as he clasped his hands together. Then slowly a bright white light covered his body as he was enveloped in what looked like white flames.

The Earl let out a loud yell as it fired a blue beam into the air slamming it down.

Jackson"s hand-fired out ripped his sword out of the ground. "Sero..." Then suddenly he rocketed forward flying through the beam seemingly not affected as he suddenly appeared behind the beast. Jackson brought his sword down as his eyes closed. Then slowly he sheathed his blade. There was a small thin flash of blue light as the eyes of the monster widened. Then suddenly its head fell forward while its body fell backwards... The monster decapitated head rolled forward falling off of the mountain.

Jackson let out a heavy sigh as he sheathed his sword. "d.a.m.n..." He muttered out falling to his knees. "I forgot how strong an Earl is when you aren"t using Mantra... Oh well. I learned my lesson." He sighed out as he stood up. "d.a.m.n... And this mission still isn"t done... d.a.m.n..."
