Enforcers

Chapter 75

Age 1991

"So. What"s wrong?"

"What?" Hero said in confusion and he turned to look at Kitsune as they walked down the corridor.

"I said what"s wrong?" The n.o.ble repeated as he crossed his arms. He shot the Seraphin a look as he stared at the teen.

"Why do you think something is wrong..."

Kitsune stared at his squadmate as he raised an eyebrow. "Because you"re Hero Otoko. You"re an idiot, and right now you look like you"re deep in thought. That can"t be good... So? What"s wrong exactly? What is causing you to wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat."

Hero turned away from his friend as he gave a shrug. "Ahh... It"s not important." He said quietly causing the n.o.ble to frown. Briefly, his mind thought back to their first mission. It had been a long, and hard-fought battle but they managed to defeat Zero in the end. Not through skill, power, or tactics, though... Pure and utter luck was what gave them the victory. There was several ways they could have lost. Could have died... If not for a lucky break-

"Hero?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" Kitsune questioned curiously. "Because this isn"t just about you. We are a team. If you get affected in the wrong way and get to be too deep in thought in the middle of a battle that"ll cause some serious problems for all of us. Cloud has been telling me how North almost got both of them killed on two separate occasions. So I"ll ask again. What"s wrong?"

"Yeah. I"m fine. I dunno... Maybe this is just a Seraphin thing?" Hero said unhelpfully. He gave a small shrug as he shook his head.

"How would you know? You found out what you were the same time as we did..." The fox teen said frowning. "By the way... You being a Seraphin... You"re okay with that right? I know you"ve been getting some dirty looks from other Enforcers after we got back, but you"re not affected by them, are you? Also, you know that none of us think differently of you right?"

"Yeah, I know." Hero muttered out giving the teen a confused look.

"You don"t seem like you do..."

"Look! I"m not really concerned with it right now." Hero said slowly as he gave a small shrug. "I"ll... I dunno... I"ll cross that bridge when I get to it?" Hero gave a small wave of his hand. "I guess I"m just not to concerned with it right now?"


"Look. I get it. Being different is hard." Kitsune said letting out a small sigh. "Back home. Well everyone focused on my older brother Jin. He was amazing. I was never good enough to fill his shoes... After he went missing in action, my family was devastated. Not at the fact that Jin was actually gone. But at the fact that it meant I would be the heir... And you know. I get it. I don"t think I could be the heir. I"m not like Jackson Storm. I"m not some amazingly powerful n.o.ble... I"ve actually been trying to copy how Mr. Storm acts... I don"t know how he does it. Putting on a smile... Being a n.o.ble isn"t bad. But being a second-born child from a n.o.ble family... That"s awful... Everyone keeps looking at me. Expecting great things from me. I"m not my brother though. So I decided I would try and be Jackson Storm. I"ll be a strong n.o.ble warrior. And I"ll find Jin. And I"ll be stronger than him. So strong I"ll take over the family for him."

"But you just you didn"t think you could?"

"I don"t," Kitsune said letting out a small laugh. "But... If it means helping out my big brother. I"ll do it. I"ll do it for him."

Hero gave a slight smile as he patted his friend on the back. "You"re a good brother, and a great friend."

"You should know how I feel. There"s someone in your life who you care about as well." Kitsune said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah... I"ve mentioned it briefly to you. I also have someone I wish to save." Hero said slowly as he reached up placing a hand over his chest. "I was given this power from her. Given it against both our wills. But I"ll use it. Even ifit is just a small amount I"ll use that power, and I"ll reach her with it..."

"Hero. Why do you wear contacts?"

"Because having duel colored eyes is cool."

"Okay, but why do you really?"

Hero gave a small shrug. "I... Well, I don"t like people seeing that I have silver eyes... My eyes weren"t always this color... Same thing for my hair." He reached up brushing a hand through the white highlights sprinkled in his hair. " They used to be very plain looking. But after I underwent a few experiments, the same ones which converted me into a Seraphin, my eyes and hair were altered slightly. Of course, my body was also altered slightly... I gained the ability to heal and of course..." Several small bone pipes sprouted out from his body before instantly pulling themselves back in. "I gained the ability to do that... Later on down the line, I discovered more about my Attributes, both my actual power, and the two additional powers I now had. For example, I learned that I could add on to my arms or legs in different ways to either make them get really, really buff, with a Monster-Limb, or I could simply cause them to get lengthened making them appear as if they could stretch, both of those abilities coming from the Monsterfication. It was easy to mess with my limbs since my Balloon Attrubuite already allowed me to inflate and compress them. I also learned how I could shape my bone fragments in a way that allowed them to be pipes, that could spit out the oxygen in my body with enough force to send me flying. First time I tried that I blacked out from using almost all of the air inside of my lungs. If not for my Living-Nano, Attribute I probably would have died a long time ago considering how many times I"ve ripped my body apart trying to do some new type of attack."

"Yeah... You"re not one for calm simple attacks are you..." The n.o.ble said letting out a small laugh. "So... When you use the Monsterfication, and you make extra muscles or bones, or whatever, inside of your body, what happens to all those extra parts? I mean every time you made that buff arm thing it isn"t a permanent limb. Same thing for when you stretch out your limb. If you aren"t actually stretching it out and are instead adding to it, how does it turn back to normal? Where does the added on stuff go to exactly?"

"Oh. Well. Upon no longer using it two things will either happen." A small bone pipe popped out of Hero"s back and he reached up breaking it off and now held it up. "If it is no longer touching any of my DN" He dropped the spike causing it to drop down to the floor and instantly it began to break away into nothingness turning into something less than dust. "Then the cells connecting it die out at an incredible speed. But if it is inside of my body, and I no longer have a use for it, my body will subtract it breaking it down, and converting it into spare energy, and protein. Basically, it takes up some protein, and nutrients to make them, so when I no longer have a need for them, my body will break them back down into spare cells and other things that my body can use later on to either heal me or remake something else."

"Convenient."

"Kind of." Hero said giving a small shrug. "I got both lucky, and unlucky. I"m lucky because all of my Attributes affect the body, so they all work really well together allowing me to set them up, even if I can only use one Attribute at a time. On the other hand, despite working well together they really shouldn"t come together due to the fact that they are all altering the body in vastly different ways. If I"m not careful I could accidentally rip my entire body apart... In fact, the only reason that hasn"t happened is because of my mother"s Attribute the Living-Nano which has millions of tiny cell-sized creatures that are scattered through my body that will slightly listen to me... I"m not very good with that one but they let me do some cool stuff sometimes."

"Well... It certainly is amazing how you work. I"d love to see how far your potential would go. If you were to gain access to using all three of your Attributes at the same time I wonder what would happen."

"Oh... I"m a bit curious as well though if I had to guess I"d say I would probably completely alter how my body works. Not just on the outside but the inside as well. I like to look at it as my body is one big machine that I"m constantly adding to. If I were able to use all my Attributes at once I could probably alter my body in such a way that I wouldn"t even really be a normal human." He said shrugging. "I"d be able to alter how a body part works and do all kinds of crazy things."

"So you"d really become a Seraphin," Kitsune questioned.

"I don"t know... Maybe I"d just become a monster..."

"Let"s stop talking about this," Kitsune said simply as he turned away. It was starting to get into an uncomfortable territory. "I was actually thinking..."

"Yeah?"

"Well, we got a small bit stronger right?" The n.o.ble questioned. "We should go challenge Dawson to a rematch again!" He announced.

"Oh, sure! That sounds like fun-"

"Most, are battle-hungry-mad-warriors... They say it takes a few years but all Seraphin"s slowly snap, and will only care about battle, in order to grow..."

"Battle l.u.s.t. That"s what your future holds."

"Hero?"

"What?"

"You went all silent."

Hero blinked a few times as he shook his head. "Oh... I"m sorry. I was just thinking about something."

"Okay? Well, do you want to go help me fight Dawson?" Kitsune questioned.

Hero was silent for a few seconds bit finally he nodded. "Sure..."
