Enforcers

Chapter 82

Age 1991

Jackson jumped to the left avoiding a ball of flames as he gritted his teeth. "This would be a million times easier with a weapon..." He thought to himself. The Vice-Captain twisted his body to the side as a large ball of ice flew past him. "Way easier..."

"Oh come on!" Kitsune said throwing his hands up into the air. "This is hopeless!" He sighed out as he folded his arms. "We"ve been at it all day but we still can"t hit you."

"Well. Try harder?" Jackson said shrugging his shoulders sheepishly.

"Will you actually give us a reasonable solution?" Irene muttered out as she frowned at the man.

The three of them were back in the training room. Jackson claimed he would show them how to better use their Attributes, but than apparently changed his mind, and said he would only teach them if they could get a hit in on him. The problem was that lightening out sped both fire, and ice...

"That"s not how it"ll work," Jackson said smirking.

"But you"re just way to fast!" Kitsune said still annoyed. "How can we possibly hit you! This isn"t fair!"

"Well. I am the fastest Enforcer!" Jackson said proudly as he gave a bright smile. "Although. You should know that while I am insanely fast, there are plenty of people who are still faster than me outside of the Enforcers." He stated, now giving a serious tone. "You should find a way to overcome someone being able to casually out speed your attacks-" Jackson ducked down as a ball of ice, and fire shot over his head. "And attacking at the same time is smart, if you can coordinate it. Both of you just firing out attacks at the same time is just the same results but from two angles..."

"I really hate you..." Irene sighed out.

"It is to be expected... I mean he is a Vice-Captain. And he is a Storm. He"s a n.o.ble of insane power and-"

"Okay! I get it!" Irene said rolling her eyes. "You can stop worshipping our enemy any time now! Seriously... You basically copy the man..."

Kitsune gave a small shrug as he turned back to Jackson. "Alright... Well. It is as good a time as any I suppose." He brought his arms up creating a ball of energy. "Fox-Flare!" He announced as a wave of heat fired out.

Blue electricity crackled around Jackson as he shot towards the left dodging the attack. "Firing an attack in a straight line isn"t a very good idea when your opponent can move as fast as lightning..." He said trailing off. "Those kinds of attacks aren"t very good if you can"t get a hit on your opponent. "Also? Are you trying to steal my attacks?"

"Well! I don"t know how to pull it apart." Kitsune said letting out a sigh. "I struggle with getting it to separate."

"I know the feeling," Irene muttered out. "I struggle with trying to shape my ice... No matter how hard I try, it always comes out as malformed blocks of Ice..." She muttered. "Nowhere near the level of North"s..." She thought to herself as she gave a heavy frown.


Jackson gave a small sigh as he folded his arms up. "Okay. Look. I"ll give you a small piece of advice since both of you are struggling so much." He stated. "The reason you can"t hit me is because you are aiming at where I am."

"Isn"t... Isn"t that whole point?" Kitsune questioned in slight confusion.

"Not when your opponent can dodge," Jackson said shaking his head. "If you see that someone can dodge your attack easily, then you should stop aiming at where they are and instead aim at where they will be." He stated as a small smirk found its way onto his face. "So. When fighting if you"re going to hurl ma.s.sive attacks around, you should study your opponent, and figure out how they are moving and make yourself an opening."

"I get it," Irene said nodding her head. "I see what we have to do now."

"I think I do too," Kitsune said nodding his head.

Both teens raised their arms up, only to be stopped when a loud bell echoed throughout the training room.

"Oh!" Jackson said giving a smirk. "Times up. Sorry kids. I guess you won"t get to test out your new attacks out on me. Better luck next time!"

"Oh come on!" They both shouted.

Jackson let out a laugh as he turned away from them. "Well! Come on then. Let"s go meet up with the others and see how they are doing. It"d also be nice to take a break. Ever since Hero came back from his walk around the towers, he had been so hyper... And of course, you all replicated him... I mean it"s been almost a week of you guys pestering us to train you all. It"s weird since none of us ever had a chance to train a new recruit... I wonder if we"re doing any good."

"We just want to be ready on case we have to go on another mission," Irene said shrugging casually. "The chances of anyone as strong as Zero had been aren"t high, but those Earl"s are a lot more common. As we are now even if all five of us teamed up we wouldn"t be able to beat one..."

"Well then. It"s a good thing you guys prepared then." Jackson said waving his hand slightly. "We"re gonna be sent out on a mission pretty soon..."

"Really?" Kitsune said raising an eyebrow. A slight smirk found its way onto his face.

"Yeah... Part of Squad Six"s job, is to go inspect other cities and check up on them... I mean every Squad has to do that, but Squad Six is usually the ones that are asked. Anyways. We are ordered to head to certain cities that have suspicious activities, and it"s our job to discover them, and put a stop to them." He said casually as he exited the training room followed by the others. "Squad Six is usually the more battle oriented squad. We"re flexible for most situations."

"So we"re gonna get to do another mission after all!" Irene said nodding her head.

"What"s this about another mission?"

The group turned finding Ken, and Hero standing near the entrance to the training room. Ken was dressed up in a set of work out clothing, as she had been forced by the other higher-ups, to start eating more, and working out, to finally fix her malnourishment. She had also been instructed to not use her Attribute unless she had no other choice... A fact that really annoyed the small girl since now she could barely do anything from her lack of physical strength. She had relied on her Attribute to do any physical test, but now without she had the strength of a fourteen malnourished girl, that had never worked out a day in her life. It really sucked... She had to ask people to do stuff for her since she couldn"t do anything now.

"Yo Hero!" Kitsune said as him and Hero high fived. "Where"s Cloud?"

"He went to go off and meditate." Hero replied giving a smalls shrug. "He has an idea for a new attack but he"s still working out the vision of it in his head."

"What"s this about a new mission?" Ken asked again, but with a little more force in her voice as she folded her arms up.

Irene took a step away as she stared at the fourteen-year-old girl with a small amount of uneasiness. Ken returned her look, with an annoyed frown. "I should be careful around her... She knows who I really am. Thankfully she hasn"t told anyone yet."

"We"re gonna be going on a new mission in a couple of days!" Kitsune announced happily.

"Well. Maybe." Jackson said holding his hands up. "All I said was that Squad Six would be sent out on a mission. We don"t know who is going, or how the group will be split up. I do figure that you all will be picked simply so you can see how this kind of mission works."

"Well, what Cla.s.s is it?" Ken questioned.

"None," Jackson replied back. "The mission is unknown. We are simply going to go check out a city, and walk around, and try to find something. It won"t have an official ranking until we get back to headquarters and give a full report on what we found. Then you"ll get Bells based off how much they think the mission was worth."

"Seems interesting," Ken said slightly sarcastically as she frowned. "Although... I guess I should be glad that we won"t have to worry about anything too crazy."

"I dunno... I"ve seen a lot of weird stuff on scouting missions." Jackson said shrugging. "I once saw a guy devour a Bestia Macht? Who knows what we"ll see."

"Whatever!" Ken smirked slightly as she crossed her arms and tried to look cool. "Whatever it is, I"ll solve the problem in an ultrstylish way. It"ll be done so well that I"ll become megfamous, and have my name written down everywhere."

Kitsune gave a small sigh as his eye twitched. "She"s still going on about becoming a famous superhero..."

"She"s been going on about it all day..." Hero muttered out to the Fox n.o.ble.

Jackson let out a small laugh at his recruit"s antics. "Well, guys. If I were you. I"d get some last-minute training in. It"s important to get it done early. Eventually, you get to the point where all you"ll be doing is going on missions."

The group all looked at each other for a few seconds as they all gave a small nod.

Jackson gave another small smirk as he reached out placing a hand on Ken"s head. "You especially need to do some big training-" He stepped to the side dodging a swipe from the girl as he smirked. Then in a flash, he vanished.

"I really hate him..." Ken muttered.

"He"s so cool..." Kitsune said with stars in his eyes.

"I need to go," Irene stated bluntly. "I need to get back to training."

"What? But you"ve been nonstop training." Hero said frowning.

"So have you?"

"No. I"ve been training in quick bursts, then taking short breaks..." Hero pointed out. "I mean. It"s fine to want to improve by a lot right now but don"t push it. I talked to some people and got some helpful advice. You should definitely train when you can but don"t drain all of your energy, and time on it. You"ll burn yourself out to fast, and will begin to lose progress."

Irene rolled her eyes. "Than I"ll worry about that when I get there." She stated walking past Hero. "I need to get a lot stronger... And fast."

"Then get something to fight for."

Irene didn"t reply as she walked away.

"Anyone else think North got a little colder?" Hero questioned.

"Oh. "He"s just a little annoyed because I found out about his big secret." Ken said casually.

"Secret? Do tell..." Kitsune said leaning in.

"No."

"Why not?"

"It"s not my place. When North feels comfortable to tell you guys, you"ll know. And if he doesn"t tell, I"ll let you guys decide on how you want to treat them hiding something from you."

Kitsune folded his arms as he let out a sigh. "Ahh, whatever. I didn"t want to know anyways..." He muttered out. "But. Mr. Storm had a point. Who knows when we"ll have a chance like this to train again. We should make the most of it, and see how hard our efforts had paid off. Plus. I read that scouting missions can take at the least a week, and at the most a few months... Who knows when we"ll be able to get back."

"You"re right... Which gives me an idea!" Ken said as a light bulb flashed over her head.

"Oh no... She"s coming up with plans..." Kitsune muttered stepping away.

"We"re doomed..." Hero said also muttering. Both boys stepped back as Ken folded her arms and gave them both an annoyed glare.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..." She shook her head as her dull red eyes rolled. "Very funny."

"Well. What"s your plan?" Hero questioned?

Ken smirked as she leaned in close to both of the boys. "Tomorrow we should challenge some of the other recruits."
