Age 1991Katrina walked back and forth as her eyes focused on the group of five young recruits in front of her... Her eyes rolled over every one of the recruits before finally focusing on Hero. Hero froze under her gaze as he began to panic slightly.
Off to the side Jackson, Dawson, and Hannah all stood by themselves as they watched their Captain pace back and forth in the room. The other Squad Six members would still be away on their important mission so this was all that they had to work with...
Katrina let out an annoyed sigh as she reached up slowly, and began pinching the bridge of her nose in a stressed off manner. The Squad six Captain finally looked up as she gritted her teeth. "So..." She said finally speaking. "It would seem we got some new orders..." She stated in annoyance.
"New orders?" Jackson questioned raising an eyebrow. "I don"t remember hearing anything on that?"
"Yes..." Katrina said with clenched teeth. Her eyes focused in on Hero once more, as the boy began to whistle innocently. "Someone... Apparently talked to Master Storm, and put an idea in that old fool"s head... He requested two missions from us now... You wouldn"t happen to know about that, would you... Hero?"
Hero felt the sweat drip down his face as he gulped. "What! N...No... I don"t even know what he looks like-"
"Didn"t he call you to his-" Hero slapped his hand over Ken"s mouth stopping her from saying anything else.
Katrina continued to stare at the boy as he slowly backed up and hid behind Kitsune peaking over the n.o.bles shoulder.
"Be my shield..." Hero hissed.
"What! No! No reason we both have to die!" The fox n.o.ble said in a panic as he tried to pull away from his friend.
Katrina let out another heavy sigh as she turned away from the two idiots. "Anyways... We are being required to go off on two separate missions. Because of this, the party will naturally be split up." The woman stated cooly.
"How are we splitting it up?" Hannah asked. "And uh... What is the mission exactly?"
"Well at first it was gonna be a simple scouting mission. Now, however, Master Storm has altered it. We are to stay in the area of the city until something suspicious happens then try to stop it. Naturally, we have no idea how long this will take or how long it will be until we can solve the problem. Because of that two hotels have been booked. We will be staying at these hotels while we are in the city. They are set to last for an entire year but, I highly doubt it"ll come to that... We are not to leave until we have encountered what we are looking for." Katrina stated calmly.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Dawson questioned speaking in his normally quiet yet terrifyingly deep voice that he is known for.
"Good question..." Katrina let out yet another sigh. "Some group called the Organization or some s.h.i.t... That actually reminds me. Jack catch." Katrina took the ruby ring off her finger tossing it over to the man.
"What"s this?" Jackson questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"A ruby ring." Hero announced stating the obvious. Ken elbowed him getting the boy to shut up.
"Your grandfather asked me to hold onto that for some reason..." Katrina stated letting out a sigh. "I decided that I want you to be the one to actually hold onto it for me instead. That way if anything bad happens it"ll be after you rather than me."
"Oh... You shouldn"t have..." Jackson said with a bit of an eye twitch as he slipped it on his finger.
"So we are going to be splitting up our group?" Hannah questioned.
"Yes. We are to go to two cites. The first is Dandelion. The second is Chrysanthemums..." The woman said slowly.
There was a small gasp around the table as Hero frowned. "Is that supposed to mean something?" He asked.
"Well... Chrysanthemum is "
"Big word?"
"-city... It"s actually the city of crimes some would say..." Kitsune muttered out as he gave a heavy frown. "Chrysanthemum is by far, one the worst places we could be sent to... The n.o.bles there who run the city are greedy and have taken over."
"Sounds bad." Hero said.
"Ha! I bet it isn"t that bad!" Ken announced.
"Okay well Ken volunteered to go." Katrina stated.
"Wait what!" The young girls dull red eyes widened in horror as she jumped back.
"So. How exactly are we going to split up the party?" Hannah questioned curiously. "Like... How are we going to pick who goes where?" She questioned.
"That"ll be the easy part," Katrina said giving a simple shrug. "We will split the group into two. One group will be Dawson"s side. Dawson, you will be third in command of the group going to Chrysanthemum. It will be your job to protect everyone there. I will be in charge of the group going to Dandelion. Now. Due to the fact on how we are splitting up the group a few members on Squad Seven will be helping us out. Sif, as well as her Vice-Captain, will be going with Dawson to Chrysanthemum. She is also bringing along a recruit of hers, as well as a Reserve. Furthermore, for my group, I will be getting two recruits from her. After planning it out and trying to figure out what would be an ideal strategy I have decided that Jackson, and Hannah will be with me. I also have chosen to take Kitsune, Cloud, and North with me. That leaves Hero, and Ken, on the team with Dawson..."
"Is it really a good idea for me to take them to Chrysanthemum?" Dawson questioned.
"Not really but, they are the two recruits I care the least about so..."
"Ouch..." Ken muttered.
"My heart..." Hero stated falling to the ground.
"We don"t know what we will be walking into..." Katrina said getting the attention back on her. "It could be anything really. We also don"t know how long this mission will take. Because of that if one group finishes before the other then that group will head to the second city to help out the group that hasn"t finished yet. Squad seven can, and likely will leave us at a later time, so we can not rely on them for too long. And... By far the biggest rule I can give you. n.o.body die. Don"t be a hero if it means putting your life in danger."
"Isn"t... Isn"t that the entire purpose of us being Enforcers?" Irene questioned.
"Maybe the others will tell you that, but by G.o.d, I don"t want to lose any more squad members than I have to." Katrina hissed out. "Don"t do anything stupid... Especially for someone you don"t know. Our lives are just as precious as the people we protect. If you"re gonna die, make sure it is for something you actually care about..."
"Got it. So don"t die, be awesome, and get the girl-" Jackson was saying but was stopped when Katrina smacked him across the room sending him flying into the metal wall. "...Okay... Don"t get the door-" He gasped out.
"This gonna be a very dangerous mission. We don"t know how it"ll be ranked, but Master Storm seems to think that this is a serious matter. No matter what... We will win." Katrina said holding her fist out.

Jackson was first touching her fist with his. After him was Dawson, then Hannah, and then all of the new recruits who raised their hands.
All five of them touched the fist of their Captain as they all announced all at once...
"Squad Six!"
