Enforcers

Chapter 84

Age 1991

Hero gave a small gulp as he pushed the door open and stared into the room. The air instantly made him stop as he made a face.

It was like being at the very edge of the tracks, of an oncoming train. You were aware that it wouldn"t hit you, but if you were to slip, forward, even by a mere inch then it would all be over.

The room was like that but on a much bigger extent...

Hero felt nervous, and yet at the same time, there was a shaking feeling in the back of his mind that he didn"t have anything to worry about.

He felt that he was safe...

"Ahh come on in!" A kind elderly voice announced in a happy tone.

Hero looked up as he took in the sight of the room. It was a really big room for an office. It had a pair of stairs leading up to a balcony area. A section which was filled with several bookcases. A ma.s.sive window that stared out at the city. Up in the roof a mini artificial light rested giving off a blue glow, and heating the room up. A large desk rested almost up against the window as an elderly man sat behind the chair. Master Storm... Leader of the Enforcers.

Off to the side, a second figure stood. A young gorgeous looking blond woman. Hero recognized her as the girl who did the announcements a month ago, when he was first joining. But why would she be here?

At the foot of the desk rested the body of a Bestia Macht. The one who determined where everyone would go. It lazily looked up at Hero as it stared at him with boredom.

"Oh, I recognize him!" The girl said letting out a laugh. "He"s the one who has become the talk of the Base? He barely has a Pressure?"

"Now, now Angel." Master Storm said giving out a warm grandfatherly laugh. "Don"t scare him off. Besides. I"m sure this whole gossip thing will blow over in no time, as soon as someone else does something odd." The man flashed Hero a smile as he waved at a seat. "Come sit down."

Hero walked forward slowly as he sat in the chair. He stared curiously at the woman as he c.o.c.ked his head to the side. "Why is she here?" He asked curiously.

"Ahh! Well, the Four Sacred Beast always insist of leaving at least one of them with me at all times." Master Storm said laughing. "Today Angel was chosen."

"The Four Sacred Beast?" Hero questioned curiously.

"We"re an elite subgroup dedicated specifically to guarding the Master." The woman said gesturing slightly. "As the name suggests there are four of us. Me, Ward, Zane, and Alpha. Just think of us as super Enforcers."

"So you"re like really strong then?"

"Yep."

Master Storm cleared his throat getting the attention back on him. "So..."

"Hero."

"So Hero." Master Storm said slowly. "I brought you here because I have a few questions I wanted to ask."

"Okay?"


"The first thing I wanted to know. Were you present the night a man tried to steal a Ruby Ring?"

"I definitely was! I was saved by this really cool woman, who turns out was an Enforcer, and she gave me a letter telling me to join, than, I became an Enforcer, and joined Squad six, and turns out she is on that squad so that was really cool to find out."

"Ahh about you joining Squad Six... Tell me what made you want to lie, and say that was your squad?" Master Storm asked curiously.

"Lie!"

The old man let out a chuckle. "Hero. I own the Bestia Macht who determines where everyone goes. He told me the truth. You were a.s.signed to Squad One, but when you got the chance to speak you told everyone that you were a.s.signed to Squad Six instead. What made you want to say that?"

Hero looked down for a moment as he thought about what he should say. "Well... I just didn"t want to go to Squad One... Sure it might have been the best but something just felt off to me? On top of that, all of my new friends went to Squad Six, and Max went to One. Jackson also seemed really cool too."

"I see... Normally I would have removed you from Squad Six immediately and placed you back where you belong, but I decided against it. I wanted to see how it turned out for a little while. I think I"m proud to say that I feel like you choose the right Squad though for the wrong reasons."

"What does that mean?"

"I think Squad Six would be the best Squad for you simply because of their track record... But choosing it for your friends wasn"t the best idea... Being an Enforcer it can be hard to maintain friendships."

Hero frowned slightly. "I"ll keep that in mind?"

The old man gave another laugh. "Back onto our topic. So you were present when the ring was stolen. Tell me. Do you know what that ring is?"

"No, sir? It"s apparently important since so many people want it though? Why do you ask?" Hero questioned curiously?

"Well let"s just say that ring is indeed important..." The elderly man said as he shrugged. "On to my next question. Do you know a group who is calling themselves The Organization?"

"That sounds like a very unoriginal name..."

"I"ll take that as a no?"

"Nope. Sorry, grandpa Storm. I don"t know a group by that name." Hero said sheepishly.

"That is quite alright." The old man said laughing slightly. "I doubted that you did, but I needed to double-check. These next few questions may be a bit personal." He warned.

"I"ll answer them as best as I can."

"Do you know a man by the name of Okami Otoko?"

"That"s my grandpa."

"I thought so... Do you know a woman by the name of Jaune?"

"That was my mother..." Hero said sadly.

"I see." Master Storm nodded. "When did you meet Miss Jaune?"

"I don"t remember fully... I know she took care of me though, while I was in the facility." Hero replied.

"Do you know who your biological parents are?" Master Storm asked.

"Not really? I mean I know my "dads" name is apparently "Life" or at least that"s what he goes by, and thats, what my grandpa told me, but I don"t know who my real mother is..." Hero said giving a small shrug. "For me, Jaune was my mother. She took care of me, and called me her little hero... I like to think that she is still with me even to this day."

"Yes... Miss Jaune was always quite the friendly girl..." Master Storm said quietly as a small bit of emotion entered his voice.

"Did you know her?"

"We all did..." The girl said speaking up. "Jaune was an amazing woman... She was actually the Reserve for Squad Six seventeen years ago... However she ended up getting captured by a rogue nation... Poor Squad Six and that blasted curse of their"s..."

"Okami was very loving of her." Master Storm said quietly. "She was actually like a daughter to him. He came out of retirement the day she was captured and spent years looking for her... None of us heard anything back from him until sixteen years later when someone claiming to be his grandson pops back up wanting to join the Enforcers..."

"Whoops..." Hero said awkwardly as he shrunk down. "Gramps and I never really left the building we were in... He didn"t want me to get into the outside world. Well, at least not until a few months ago when I made a bet with him."

"And what was this bet?"

Hero reached into his pocket pulling out a small silver coin. "Gramps wanted me to get stronger but our training was really bad. He wasn"t very good at teaching me. Because of this, he wanted other ways to enhance me..."

"Like Project Seraphin..."

"Yeah... Like that... He did a few experiments on me. I never liked them. We ended up having a ma.s.sive disagreement, and I made a bet with him. He had to give me four years to wander around in the outside world, and get stronger my own way. After the four years were up if I was stronger than him, I would win our bet. If I was still weaker than him I had to agree to let him do whatever experiments he wanted on me to improve me."

"That was kind of a terrible bet..." Master Storm muttered out. "Even Ward wouldn"t take that... Okami used to be the Captain of Squad One. In fact, he is almost as powerful as the current Squad One Captain... Although I do suppose old age could have slowed him down by now... My point is, that you"re going to have to do a lot of work if you want to catch up to him in four years... Acually I don"t think you could?"

"Oh... c.r.a.p..."

"Don"t worry... Okami Otoko is actually under heavy suspicion. If he does come for you I personally will step in." Master Storm said chuckling.

"That makes me feel better..."

"Now. Onto the biggest question. Are you a Seraphin?"

"Yeah. I guess I am?"

"Do you know who the two hosts were that gave you your Attributes?"

"Well, my mother, Jaune, and the other one was a girl my age... I don"t know her name though. She had silver hair, and eyes though... And she just looked so sad... I promised that I would save her!"

Master Storm gave a small nod. "Well, that matches up... It is very likely that the girl you speak of is Alexander"s little sister... She was the last one who held the Monsterfication, and a few years ago, we actually had her held in our labs... Her Attribute was out of control so we tried to find a way to help her control it. Unfortunately, a man by the name of Doctor Hyde, broke in, and kidnapped her..."

"Doctor Hyde. Yeah, that"s the guy who did the experiment on me. At least I think he is? I don"t really remember everything, and it is only small blurs but that names sounds familiar." Hero stated nodding his head. "Also Labby said the same name once."

"I thought so..." Master Storm gave a small sigh. "Well then. On to the next part. How much of your Attributes can you use?"

"About 25% according to Labby?"

"Labby?"

"Oh! He"s the lab coat who lives inside my head. I used to be able to do more but a twelve-year-old girl who has some weird demon inside of her did something with reality-bending Aura, and placed several gates on Labby that held him backstopping him from killing me, but it had the unfortunate added effect of sealing some more of my power away, but that"s okay! I think... Anyways after that I fought with the demon girl who I am calling Meandite, because she"s evil, and we fought a Samuria named Zero who was super cool until he wasn"t. Zero did this thing and became an angel man so I used a Bestia Macht that was in this tiny box, and thankfully it was able to spit out lasers so we ended up beating him, and stabbing him with Jackson"s sword that Ken was using!"

Master Storm, and Angel stared at Hero as they both blinked a couple of times processing what he said. "I"m... I"m gonna need to speak to my grandson... I think he left somethings in the report out..." The old man cleared his throat. "Well, Hero. If you don"t mind Angel here is going to run a few tests on you."

"Okay?"

"Please take off your shirt."

"Not okay."

"Oh relax kid." The girl said letting out a laugh. "I"m way out of your league."

"There goes my self-confidence boost... Weird. Most girls throw themselves at me. I"m not used to rejection..." Hero mumbled out as he took off his black T-shirt.

"Alright!" The girl said walking up behind him. " Now this is gonna feel a little weird..." She said slowly. She placed her hands together as a white aura suddenly surrounded her. "Fero." She spoke calmly, as the aura surrounded her eyes making them appear as if white flames were coming out of them. She slowly reaches up and placed a hand on Hero"s back as the white aura slowly covered his body.

"This feels weird?" He said shivering even though a warm effect shot through his body.

"The first times always the weirdest." The old man said chuckling. "But relax. It"s your first time so Angel will be gentle."

"Why is everyone in the Enforcers perverts..."

"Get your head out of the gutter!" Angel said rolling her eyes. She placed her other hand on the boys back as she stared down at him. "Welp. If him having three Attributes wasn"t proof enough of him being a Seraphin, this sure is... His Lines are all over the place!"

"What are Lines?" Hero questioned.

"Inside of every Human exist two kinds of lines." Master Storm said. "S-Lines, and Lines. SuperHumans also have a third pair known as M-Lines. This forms what is sometimes referred to as the S-M-Lines, I didn"t pick the name... Each Line is something different from the other one, but Lines, are the part of our body where our Attribute comes from. They are usually the biggest Line inside of a human body. Each Line starts from the spinal cord and works its way through the body likes veins. These lines are where we get our Attributes from drawing on them."

"Someone"s also been abusing Enhancements thus explaining why your Lines are getting bigger but not longer," Angel said nodding her head.

"What do you mean?" Hero questioned in confusion. "Enhancements? And abusing them? I don"t understand?"

"SuperHumans have many similarities to humans. Not to surprising since Humans descended from us... Anyways while we possess many similarities we also possess many differences. As I said earlier we have what is known as an M-Line. This Line can do several things, one of which effects the growth of the other two Lines. A process sometimes referred to as Enchantments... The key to everlasting evolution. It is possible for a SuperHuman to rapidly grow in terms of power through Enhancements. This is done through continual strained battle. The harder you fight, the more power you use, the further you are pushed, and the closer you get to death, are all factors that will add up. When a SuperHuman fights their body will slowly begin to get stronger and stronger. That is the Enhancements at work."

"Basically what Master Storm is saying, is that all you got to do, is beat people up, while not dying, and you"ll get stronger." Angel commented. "However your Lines seemed to have been stretched out to much from you abusing the Enhancements without proper care."

"What do you mean?"

"Well... Basically, your body was forced to increase its power with the Enhancements several times over a short period of time. This indicates that you were in a situation and you were near death several times, and you were forced to go all out several times. Now normally that is fine, but you seem to have kept it going again and again and again. You"re forcing your body to Enhance itself and get stronger in order to grow but you aren"t giving it time to rest at all. You should probably slow down for a while. Exploiting Enhancements isn"t very healthy. Especially if it is done to this extent... All it will do is bloat your Lines. When you properly train your body and abilities your Lines will get longer, but when you battle and you grow that way they will get bigger. Your Lines haven"t stretched out nearly enough to handle these bloated Lines. You should slow down and do some light training to let your body rest for a while. By any chance did you almost die several times?"

"Well... Now that you mention that I remember waking up from a comma, several times, and each time I recall that I seemed to have gotten stronger..." Hero said nodding his head, as he remembered defending the village from the horde of Bestia Macht. He had felt several times stronger than he first had. "So wait? Every SuperHuman can just get stronger through fighting?"

"Well they have to actually put in work, and it has to be actually be pushing them, but in short yes. Though as I said you shouldn"t do it one after the other in a large course. Being pushed to the brink of death several times in the span of a few days isn"t a very good idea, and you"ll eventually begin to crash and could get weaker."

"So other than that everything is fine?" Hero questioned.

"Well besides some heavily messed up Lines."

"Okay? But what"s wrong with my Lines?" Hero asked.

"Well... For starters, you have three..." Angel said nervously. "That"s not normal... You should only have One. Being a Seraphin though the other two lines must have formed in your body which is how you have access to two more abilities... Secondly, all three of your Lines aren"t coming from the spine. Rather they are coming from the brain. And thirdly and the biggest factor, they are tangled up in each other... Seriously its a miracle you"re getting even 25% of power from this mess..."

"I"m guessing all of that is bad?" Hero questioned.

"Kind of?" Angel replied casually as she shrugged. "I mean. If you kept pushing your powers how they are now you would have caused more force on the Lines. Due to how just bloated your lines are, and how tangled they are you would probably explode in a few days..."

"That sounds painful..."

"Thankfully for you. I can undo them." The woman gloated.

Hero let out a small gasp as a smile formed onto his face. "Am I gonna get access to 100%!"

"No... Not even close..."

Hero"s smile instantly faded.

"At most maybe 50% but that seems dangerous..."

"How is that dangerous!"

"Can you control your Attribute at 25%?"

"Maybe?"

"So no."

"Yeah No I suck at it." Hero sighed out.

"Exactly my point." The girl stated nodding her head. "If I were to unlock it now, it could push you way to far, and pop... Although we"re at what we call, a bad crossroad..."

"What do you mean?"

"Well... If I don"t undo them then you"ll pop. If I do undo them, I could probably get them to stay at 25% but slowly they"ll become undone the more you fight and will eventually get up to 30% 35% 40% 45% and 50% naturally on their own. Thankfully they won"t go over that limit since your "Labby" is like a wall, stopping it from going past that point, but still... Reaching 50% could be bad unless you can somehow control it. And unfortunately, we don"t have any Seraphin"s so there isn"t anybody who can teach you how to master that... This means you"re very likely going to mess up and die unless you can figure out a way to solve it yourself..."

Hero let out a small hiss. "That"s definitely bad."

"You"re taking this rather well though all things considered."

"Well?" Hero gave a small shrug. "I decided I can"t really be afraid right now. I have more important things to worry about. Besides. They have to come undone no matter what right?"

"My, my... Aren"t you quite the brave boy... Maybe you"re my type after all."

"Umm. No thank you?"

Angel let out another laugh as she looked up towards Master Storm. "Well. What do you think we should do?"

Master Storm let out a sigh. "This is definitely a hard question... Hero"s Attributes are simply not compatible. We could leave them tangled and just hope that they don"t cause him to die, or we could untangle them, and just hope he finds a way to control the fluctuation of power which judging from his character and lack of skill isn"t very likely..."

"Untangle them." Hero said simply. "I"ll take my chances. Besides if I die by exploding that"s pretty hardcore way to go out! I"m satisfied with that kind of death."

Master Storm let out a small chuckle. "You"re a strange kid Hero... Very well Angel undo them by just a little..."

"Right." Angel nodded as her fingers began to glow. "Now remember Hero... Your power is going to really go all over the place. You"ll start at 25% but slowly that"ll be pushed up more and more, the more you fight... It"s very likely you"ll rip your body apart once you reach 35% percent unless you can find some way to gain better control over your Attributes... It"s going to be tricky though, since you aren"t just training one, but actually three which are about to rapidly get stronger quickly..."

"I understand." Hero said nodding his head once again. "Trust me. I have no plans of dying. Well, at least not yet." He said sheepishly.

"That"s good."

"So? Is there any way I can get rid of Labby?" Hero questioned.

"The pa.s.senger inside of your head?" The girl asked.

"Yep."

"Well... I mean you could maybe get rid of him but who knows..." The girl said giving a shrug. "You"re not gonna wanna get rid of him for sometime though. He"s the only thing holding your other half of the power back. If you removed him now then you could accidentally push straight to 60% or above... And if you"re at risk of dying from 35% then 60% would really pop you. And I don"t even wanna see what 100% is like..."

"But I can get rid of him eventually?"

"I mean yeah? From what I know those things are ent.i.ties that are created from an unknown method. Their job is to monitor your mind, and help you fluctuate your power, but it should be possible for you to learn how to control that power yourself. Plus this ent.i.ty is technically you or at least a part of you. It"s a part of your mind so you should be able to get rid of it. Similar to how a person can get over a personal issues, this is something you can conquer. But it won"t be easy. This is something you will have to figure out on your own."

"I think I get it..." Hero said nodding his head.

"I have one more question for you Hero." Master Storm said as a small thought crossed his mind.

"What is it grandpa Storm?" Hero questioned.

"How much do you want to be involved in serious matters..."
