Enforcers

Oleander City. Day of the Enforcer tryouts...

Hero stepped off of the train excitedly as he stared down the city. A smirk crossed its way onto his face as he crossed his arms. That one weird girl had ditched him the moment they got onto the train. A fact that slightly bugged Hero as he was starting to like that strange girl. "Today"s the big day." He announced. "I"m going to use this as my training. Next time we meet I"ll beat you..." He said to himself. He ran a hand through his black-white hair as a smirk appeared on his face.

"Will you move out of the way! You"re blocking the path!" An annoyed voice yelled at him. Hero felt a hand shove him to the ground as a man stepped on him. "I don"t have time to listen to you amp yourself up-"

"Who do you think you are!" Hero yelled out in annoyance as he stood up causing the other teen to fall to the ground since he was still standing on Hero.

"Oww! What"s your deal a.s.shole!"

"You literally shoved me to the ground! No sympathy for you!" Hero crossed his arms as he glared down at the teen. "What kind of a p.r.i.c.k are you?"

The teen frowned as he stood up dusting himself off. "Maybe we got off on the wrong stairway... My name is Max... And you are?"

"Hero Otoko! The second- The Third Strongest man in the world! Right behind Master "Okami Otoko," and my new master who still hasn"t accepted me yet "Master I don"t actually know her name!"" He announced out.

"I- What was any of that?" Max frowned as he stared at the teen. "I"m already regretting all of this..." The teen smirked slightly as he pulled out a blue letter. "You know you have to have a letter to get in right. And sadly for you, these were only handed out to the-"

Hero cut off the teen when he pulled out his own blue envelope. "You have hereby been officially invited to take the entrance exam test to try and become an Enforcer. The test begins at 5:00 A.M on the twenty-fifth of September. Please show up thirty minutes early to the exam. Please note that the doors seal at 5:01 and it is impossible to get in." He read as he shrugged slightly. "I have a letter..."

Max stared at the letter for a few seconds in silence. "Why? How? I thought being an Enforcer was impressive but apparently, even you can do it!" The teen continued grumbling a few choice words as he rolled his eyes.

"I guess I just impressed an Enforcer." Hero said shrugging. "I still don"t know what they are though..."

Max continued grumbling as he walked towards the gates of the city. Since Hero didn"t have anything else to do he simply followed after the teen. The two walked slowly but were stopped by a city guard who held his hand up.

"First time in the big city?" The guard asked curiously.

"Yep!" Hero said nodding. "I mean I sometimes go to Dandelion city but that"s only so I can run around saving people and looking cool... I also sometimes work for an annoying store clerk who refuses to pay me even though I save him..."

"You"ll love it here. Oleander is the safest place in the world. The artificial light will keep you warm so you won"t even need a jacket. I"m Ace by the way." The Guard said nodding his head.

"Don"t care scrub," Max stated rudely as he rolled his eyes. "My dad told me about people like you. You guys have c.r.a.ppy Attributes and failed the Enforcer entrance exam so they placed you on guard duty... If there was ever actually a Bestia Macht you"d be skinned alive far before your gun could harm it."

"That... That is technically true... But we keep out human-"

Max raised his hand as it glowed a bright white as heat and smoke began to crackle from his finger. "Blam you"re dead..." He said casually as he placed his hand back down. "You guys are pretty useless aren"t you..."

"...Yeah... We are..." The guard said quietly.

"That was mean but true..." Hero said giving a sympathetic pat on the man"s shoulder. "Max you should try and be nicer."

"Screw you."

The guard cleared his throat nervously as the two teens stood there glaring at each other. Finally, he grabbed onto a rope as he pulled down on it causing a wooden door to the village to swing open, finally letting the two c.o.c.ky as h.e.l.l, teens into the big city.

"Huh... Okay, I"ll admit... It"s actually pretty warm in here." Max stated as he unzipped his jacket taking it off. "Much better than that blasted frozen wasteland outside of the city." He hummed lightly as he walked forward. "Now which building is the ma.s.sive building full of a.s.sholes?" He quickly spotted a building that stood out from the others.

For one it wasn"t actually a single building but was actually thirteen buildings. The thirteen buildings all towered over every other building in the city. Each building was connected with long bridges that trailed off from them. The buildings had no windows and appeared to be made out of some kind of rough-looking black metal? A ma.s.sive Golden Gate surrounded all thirteen buildings stopping anyone from getting within thirty feet of the buildings. It wouldn"t take a neurologist to figure out that it was likely the building in question...

Also a giant golden sign with the words "Enforcer" was placed outside... That was also a bit of a dead give away...

"You think its that one?" Hero asked. Max gave the teen a deadpan stare as Hero waited for him to reply.

Max shrugged off the nervous feeling he was getting as he marched over to the gates. His eyes instantly turned to a giant of a man who stood outside the golden gates. The man had his arms crossed and his eyes scanned the streets vigilantly. The man"s eyes didn"t even bother to turn to look down at the two teens,

Hero reached up waving his hand in front of the man"s eyes only for Max to slap his hand away. "Is he a statue?" Hero questioned raising his hand again. Max once again slapped his hand away. "Do you think he"s a robot?" The man"s eye twitched slightly as the two teens continued to stare at him.

"I don"t know..." Max sighed out shaking his head. "A hundred people were invited to join the Enforcers and I get stuck with the idiot... This is a Gate Guardian... Unlike those weaklings, we met at the city gate this guy is actually strong. He"s also an official Enforcer unlike the one at that wooden gate... I don"t know why the h.e.l.l this guy is just standing there though?"

"Maybe he froze to death?"

"Maybe he is sleeping?"

"Maybe he is deep in thought?"

"Maybe he is just an a.s.shole who thinks standing out in the cold with that weird look on his face is cool?"

"Will you two just hurry up and ask to be let in!" The man yelled out in annoyance as the two teens jumped from surprise.

"He"s alive!" The two teens said in shock.

"Of course I"m alive!" The man yelled out smacking Hero, and Max over the head. He let out a sigh as he shook his head. "I tried to look cool and you two just ask stupid questions..."

Hero gave a confused look at the man as Max stared at the man in disappointment. "This...Is an Enforcer?" Max asked in a mix of horror and disappointment. "Oh... Oh G.o.d... Oh G.o.d! I wasted my life..." The teen fell to his knees as Hero reached out patting the boy on the shoulder.

"I know... The one I met last week was so much cooler... Also, she was pretty powerful too... And she had that awsome bada.s.s crow Bestia Macht. That thing was pretty cool!"

The man"s eye twitched slightly as he let out a growl. "Letters please..." He hissed out. Hero, and Max handed their letters over as the man yanked them away from the two of them. "Max No Last Name, and Hero-" The man stopped as he read the name again. "Hero Otoko?" He looked up at Hero in surprise. "Otoko? As in Okami Otoko?"

"That"s my old man!" Hero said smugly nodding his head. "Do you know him? Wait you aren"t a scientist, are you? Because I don"t trust people who are scientists..." Hero eyed the man up suspiciously.

"He used to be an Enforcer..." The man said nodding his head. "A Captain in fact." The man stated. "Though... You don"t really look anything like him..." He said raising an eyebrow. The teen before him just looked odd with his multi-colored eyes and black hair with white highlights.

"Oh come on!" Max said in annoyance. "You"re telling me that this idiot is the son of an ex Enforcer?" Max huffed out as he threw his arms into the air. "Why is it that this random idiot is so important."

Hero shrugged slightly as he tried to calm the team down. "Well to be fair... He"s not technically my actual dad? He just took me in and raised me when he found me! Also, don"t worry! He didn"t really train me? We b.u.t.ted heads so much and his teaching was so awful I had no choice but to try and improve myself."

"How is Otoko?" The gatekeeper asked. "I haven"t seen him in sixteen years now?" The man said looking Hero up and down. "I a.s.sume you"re being treated well by him?"

"Yes, sir! I mean as well as I could be I guess..." Hero said nodding his head. "Grandpa is doing well..." He stated. "Though I haven"t seen him in a few months now? He gave me a new training method-"

Max held his hand up cutting the teen off. "Look! These random stories are great and all but, I"d like to actually get in the building today!" He stated folding his arms.

The GateKeeper simply gave a smirk as he shrugged. "Sorry... Just thinking about the good old days..." He reached into his pocket pulling out a marker as he made a black line on both Envelopes. "Let"s get you two into the building..." He said as he handed the two teens their letters back.

"Wait how do we get in?" Max questioned peering over the man"s side. "I don"t see an opening in the gate? Where do we get in?"

"Huh... Okay, Max, I"ll boost you over then you pull me up!" Hero suggested.

The man simply smirked as he slid his sleeves up. "We have a few ways to stop certain people from getting in..." He said simply as he turned to the large golden gates. He bent down placing his hands on them. Then slowly he gritted his teeth as he brought up both his arms lifting the heavy gate up above his head. He let out a few grunts of pain as the two teens stared at him in shock. "O-Okay! Stop staring and get the h.e.l.l in! This thing is heavy!" He grunted out.

Max and Hero both nodded as they both ducked under the golden and, finally stepped into the property of the Enforcers... Hero turned back to the man as he gave a wave. "Thanks, Mr. Gate K-"

"Bang!"

The man dropped the gate to the ground as the force of it actually caused Max and Hero to bounce up above the ground by a few feet. Hero let out a yelp as he fell forward slamming straight into the golden gates breaking his nose.

"Ouch..." Max said unsympathetically. "Did that hurt?"

"Are you okay?" The GateKeeper asked as Hero held his nose.

"Yeah, I"m okay..." Hero said as his voice came out m.u.f.fled from his hands covering his mouth as blood dripped down his face. He pulled his hand away as he wiped the blood away. "My nose already healed!" He announced as he showed off that it somehow wasn"t broken. It seemed to have completely healed.

"That"s some impressive healing..." The man said raising an eyebrow. "Do you have some kind of healing based Attribute?" He questioned. "Attributes that physically change the body are rare but not so rare that I haven"t seen them."

"I guess you can say that?" Hero said a bit mysteriously.

"What"s that supposed to mean?" Max asked.

Hero simply smiled as he gave a shrug. "It"s a bit of a long story... Why don"t we head inside the building?" He questioned brushing the teen"s question off.

"I"ll be rooting for the two of you, though I wouldn"t be too worried?" The GateKeeper said. "It should be easy for the two of you to get in if both of you really have that spark! The desire to be a real Enforcer..."

"Here we go again about that confusing spark..."

"I don"t know about the idiot but I surely do have that spark..." Max said smirking slightly. "I will become an Enforcer. In fact, I"ll become the best Enforcer imaginable. I"m going for the position of the first Captain..." He announced.

"And I! I just think it"ll be cool to be an Enforcer?" Hero said shrugging. "Sounds like it could be fun."

Max sighed shaking his head. "Let"s go..." He reached out grabbing Hero as he walked away dragging the teen behind him. The two teens finally left the GateKeeper as they marched towards the building... "This is it..." Max said letting out a heavy sigh. "From this point on I"ll be fighting tooth and nail with every other Enforcer."

"Is it really that bad?" Hero asked.

"Why don"t you find out for yourself?" Max replied. The two stopped in front of the doors as Max reached out about to open the door. "Just so you know... Once we are inside I"ll be separating myself from you..."

"Oh what! You don"t wanna be friends?"

"No. I don"t..." Max said simply as he looked Hero straight in the eye. "Its a dog eat dog world. I don"t have time to babysit teens who has no idea how the world works..."

Hero let out a huff as he crossed his arms. "Well fine!" He said sticking his tongue out. "I didn"t want to be friends anyways!"

"Well, I"m glad we came to the same conclusion..." Max pushed open the door as the two finally stepped in. "Try not to get yourself killed."

"I knew you cared!"

"No..." True to his word Max walked off instantly. He left Hero behind as he separated himself as much as possible as he walked away.

Hero let out a sigh as he rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "That guy was kind of annoying..." He said letting out a huff. He turned glancing at the crowd of people who stood in the building. It seemed as if many people were invited to join the Enforcers as at least a hundred people stood in the halls of the Enforcer building, all of them just standing around waiting for something to happen. There were many different kids, all of them ranging from various ages from 14 all the way to 18. None of them looked too interesting. Well, all except for one man that seemed to stand out amongst the crowd.

The man stood above everyone else standing proud as he glanced around the room. He wore a fancy set of clothing that was made out of very fine silk. He looked to be in his early twenties making him oldest, person in the room. His eyes shined with experience, and power, as well as a bit of arrogance.

The man"s electric blue eyes roamed the room taking in the sight of all the different kids. It wasn"t long before Hero and the man"s eyes met. The man gave a slight smirk as he looked at the much younger, much less experienced kid in front of him.

"So..." The man said as his smirk seemed to grow. "What"s your story?"
