Age 1990The City Of Dandelion, Train Station...
Hero Otoko walked down the streets to the train station at a slow pace. A smile was plastered on his face that seemed to grow with every step. He slowly marched his way down there as he struggled with every step weighed down by his backpack. His multi-colored eyes shined slightly as he brought his glove hand through his black and white hair.
Many of the civilians all looked at him weirdly as he walked. Mostly because he wore a ma.s.sive backpack packed to the brim with everything a person would need. It also had everything a person wouldn"t need. The thing must have weighed at least 100 pounds, and dragged behind him as he walked forward. His legs seemed to shake as he forced himself to step forward.
"Alright!" Hero announced up towards the black sky that rained down snow. "Today"s the day! That weird lady gave me a blue letter to become awesome and I"m gonna do it!" He announced out. "Then I"m totally gonna beat the c.r.a.p out of my grandpa!" Unfortunately for Hero Dandelion was a city full of people who all heard him shout to the sky.
"Who the h.e.l.l is he talking to?" A worried citizen asked as they watched the strange teenage boy yell up to the sky for no apparent reason as he spun around in the snow for some bizarre reason. The teen continued to yell at the sky as he waved both his gloved hands around.
"I don"t want my kids near that creepy man..." A woman said slowly pulling her child away. "He looks so weird too... What"s up with that white hair, and multi-colored eyes..."
"Mommy I"m scared of that weird guy... Is he a monster?"
Hero"s eye twitched slightly as he heard everyone go on about how he is apparently weird. "You guys just don"t understand my style..." He complained as he crossed his arms.
"You don"t have a style that"s what makes you weird!" Someone yelled out at him. "White and black hair? Black gloves? Weird fur jacket? You call that style, you loser."
Hero continued to have an eye twitch as he turned away. "Screw this city! I"m off to Oleander. Next time you see me I"ll be a bada.s.s Enforcer!" He announced out. "Now I just need to try and find out what exactly an Enforcer is..." He thought as he crossed his arm.
That strange woman from before didn"t tell him too much about what he was getting into... And that weird guy wanted him to not join? "The Enforcers could use strong people. Also cannon fodder... Why don"t you join us?" Hero had jumped at the opportunity to join a group of superpowered individuals. Plus who knows? Maybe they would even be able to make him stronger than his grandpa!
Hero took a step forward struggling due to the insane weight of his ma.s.sive backpack. Gritting his teeth the young sixteen-year-old teen began to inch forward at an incredibly slow rate as his backpack was dragged behind him. "I made sure to pack everything I would need for the journey!" He announced to himself. "Food, Water, Clothing, 5,000 Bells! I have everything an Adventure will need in the wild! As well as what I don"t need!"
"Why do people feel the need to talk to themselves? This is like the fifth person who has done it... Oh well, at least this one isn"t blind..."
Hero rolled his eyes as he ignored the crowd marching forward. Today was the start of his journey. Next time he was back here he"d defeat his grandpa and take his position as the world"s strongest! Or he would be forced to be rebuilt back up from the ground up. Whatever came first.
Meanwhile on the other side of the City Ken walked as she let out a yawn. "It is way too early for this..." She whined out. The train to Oleander would arrive at 2:00 A.M and would arrive in the city at 4:00 A.M... Dandelion, unlike most cities, was always awake and always full of people. "Why did I come to this town to board the train... I could have gone to another one and got an extra hour of sleep!" The girl yawned again as she dragged her feet through the snow. "Oh well at least everyone else is being quiet-"
"Enforcers here I come!" A loud obnoxious voice yelled out.
Ken let out a sigh as she face, palmed slightly. "Why..." She questioned the heavens as she rolled her eyes once more.
"I"m gonna become an Enforcer and thank that weird lady-"
"Will you shut up!" Ken yelled out throwing her shoe off at the weird man who yelled. The teen let out a yelp when a shoe hit him in the head causing him to fall over. Ken let out a sigh as she shook her head. She was about to step over the teen, only for his hand to reach out causing her to trip. She let out a loud yelp as she tumbled down. "What the h.e.l.l?" She looked down at the stretched out hand that was wrapped around her ankle.
"How do you like it!" Hero announced as he yanked the girl to the ground. "This backpack is heavy! You think I"ll be able to get back up now that I"m on the ground!" He yelled out in annoyance. "Well I can"t"
Ken"s eye twitched slightly as she smacked the teen in the head with her shoe. "Idiot! Don"t go tripping random people!"
"Don"t go throwing shoes at random people!" Hero yelled out at the weird girl. She was surprisingly light.
"I didn"t. I threw the shoe at an a.s.shole who was being loud!"
"You"re screaming louder then me!" Hero yelled out pointing at her accusingly.
Ken growled slightly as she stood up. "Whatever... I don"t have time to deal with this..." She said letting out a sigh. "I have a train to catch..."
The girl turned about to walk off but was stopped when Hero grabbed her ankle again. "Wait a minute!" The boy said holding onto her leg. "I can"t get up!"
"Not my problem..."

"You"re the one who knocked me down!"
"I still fail to see how that"s my problem..." The girl said giving him a deadpan stare. "Now let go. I have a train to catch..."
"Not until you help me up!" Hero said.
"Have you ever thought about... I dunno taking the backpack off so you can get up?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Hero jumped to his feet free of the backpack. "I feel as light as a feather!" He announced bringing his arms up and down. "Why didn"t I think of that sooner!" He questioned.
"You didn"t think of it! I did!"
Hero stretched his body out as he flexed. "Well, at least I can stand again... The ground was really uncomfortable."
"Well, now you have something else to worry about..." Ken said picking her shoe back up and putting it on again.
"And what"s that?"
"How are you going to pick your backpack back up?"
Hero opened his mouth about to say something but closed it. His eyes slowly widened as he turned to look at his backpack. "D-d.a.m.n it..." He fell to his knees placing his hands on the ground as he stared horrified.
Ken shook her head as she reached out patting the boy on the shoulder. "Well look on the bright side. I"m sure you"ll be able to replace everything with supplies from Oleander..."
"How do you know I"m going to Oleander!" Hero said jumping back and eying the girl up. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the short girl with suspicion. "Do you have some kind of mind-reading based Attribute?" Hero questioned curiously as he placed his hands on his head. "Cause my thoughts are my own!"
"No... You literally shouted out about becoming an Enforcer... Which means unfortunately for me we"re heading to the same destination..." Ken said folding her arms and shaking her head. "Yippy..." She said sarcastically.
"What? You"re becoming an Enforcer as well?" Hero said surprised by the news. "They even allow little kids to join-" Ken brought her sheathed sword up bringing it down on Hero"s head as hard as she could. "Oww! What was that for?" The girl didn"t say anything as she crossed her arms turning away from the boy. Hero huffed slightly rubbing his b.u.mp. "Why did you-" He stopped slightly as he seemed to realize it. "Oh, I get it!" He said giving a smug look as placed a hand in the girl"s head. "You"re self-conscious about your height-"
"Blam!"
Ken brought her sword back down smacking Hero for the second time that day.
"Oww..."
Ken let out a sigh as she turned away from the boy. "You are really annoying." She stated simply. "How did you even get a letter?"
Hero shrugged slightly. "I was at the right place at the right time." He said simply. "Also known as... I swallowed a Ruby ring and got beat by a bunch of metal men, before being saved by a girl, and a giant crow."
Ken stared at the man in disbelief. "I? I just had a letter dropped down to me from the sky..."
"That sounds way easier, and less of a ha.s.sle then what I had to do..."
Ken shook her head slightly. "How did you even get an invitation. You have to be at least somewhat skilled?"
"I think the girl invited me simply because of the fact that it would make the bad guy mad?" Hero suggested as he gave a half-hearted shrug. "I don"t think she even really expects me to show up... But I feel like I owe her my thanks for saving me. I have no idea what would have happened if she didn"t show up and save me..."
Ken reached out patting the boy on the shoulder slightly. "Well, your reason for going is better than mine... I"m just going because I"m bored." The young girl stated. "The Enforcers are a group of people who protect the world from the Bestia Macht, as well as other groups like gangs... They defend the nation and train each new generation to take up that mantle. Funded by the Government, if you get into them you basically have an easy social life..."
"Are they really that important?" Hero asked.
"Do you know nothing about the Enforcers?" Ken questioned.
"Not really?" Hero said shrugging slightly. "The truth is I didn"t even know they existed until I was saved by that girl... My grandpa never told me about them at all..."
"You have a strange life... Then again I"m not one to talk..." Ken said giving a shrug. "Well here"s hoping we both get in..."
Hero was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud metallic whistling as the metal train began to pull up to the station.
"Looks like our train is here." Hero said nodding his head.
"Next stop... Oleander city..." Ken announced.
