Enforcers - Chapter 121

Age 1991

“We’ll be leaving,” Bunt announced as him and Jester turned away from the machine. “Kaen. We’re trusting you to operate the machine. You’ll be able to burn half of the city down. On the other side of the city Diana, and Gunther, will be operating the other machine.” Bunt said simply. “With both the flames, and the earthquake combined you two should be able to total this city. Oh… And don’t screw this up.”

“…Yes, sir…” Both men said giving a nod.

“Good.” Bunt gave a small smirk as he turned away. “Well, Jester? Should we go?” He asked.

Jester was silent for a moment before he finally nodded. “Yes… Start the machine…” He said finally. “It’s time this city falls. It’s time we show them, the wrath of God. It’s time that the Organization goes public…” He announced loudly as he let out a small intake of breath.

“We are here to serve you. To serve the will of the one who has called on you. We will do as you ask when you ask.” Bunt said giving a small bow.

“As long as it benefits you of course? Or am I wrong?” The man questioned still floating slightly. “Will, you all not kill me at the first chance you get?” The man dressed as the Jester seemed to give a small smirk as a ball of energy suddenly appeared in his hand. “Or should I say you will try to kill me?” He asked.

Bunt seemed to let out a small bit of a laugh. “You are correct of course. You are our leader for as long as we need you. I’m sure you knew from the start just what kind of danger you were in. Or am I wrong?” He asked raising an eyebrow.

“No…” The Jester seemed to go silent as the three men all stared back at him slowly. “You are correct of course. I know that backstab will eventually happen. But. Rest assured. I will not have failed. I’ll show this world the truth. I’ll show them. The Kings… They will see what rules this world. And in turn, they will see how we have failed. I look around and a I weep. That was the words God told me. This world. Mankind was given it. And look at it.” He hailed his hand out showing off the vast land of snow around them. “We froze it. Killed it. Changed it. We were never meant for this world. But we forced it to let us live on it anyways… No. The world has and will belong to them. So says Me! The Jester!”

“Yes, Master.” All three men said bowing.

“Now go! Show the world that we aren’t some silly little gang. We are. The Organization.”

Meanwhile…

“This way!” Sif yelled running forward and following the trail of destruction that she had caused when she punched the skeleton across the city. “We need to hurry before he can heal…” She announced.

“Right,” Ren said with a nod. “Who knows how long we have.”

“That reminds me,” Dawson said letting out a small frown. “What happened to Sera? She was with you last time I we were together before I went on ahead.”

“Oh,” Sif said in a simple tone. “I sent her back towards the hotel.”

“…Did… Did you watch her enter the hotel?” Dawson asked.

“Of course not.”

“So. You just trusted she would head back instead of run off and do whatever she wanted to?”

“…Crap…”

“So both Hero, and Sera are running around the city,” Dawson muttered as he let out a heavy sigh. “Great. How could this get any worse-”

“Guys!”

The three Enforcers stopped in their tracks as they heard a loud voice. They all turned to see Nick running towards them through the snowstorm. He stopped in front of them as he gave a small laugh.

“Found you! Man. It is hard to see through this storm.”

“Nick!” Dawson said happy to see the strange Vice-Captain.

“Hey guys.” He said smiling. “Boy am I glad to he with some again. After Ken left I was running around in circles!”

“…What?”

“After Ken-”

“Ken left! So you lost her!” Dawson said with wide eyes.

“…Yeah? We were looking for Hero, and she got bored and left. Don’t know where she is. But we need to hurry because the Skeleton is-”

“We know!” The three of them yelled.

“…Oh…”

“We sent him that way. More importantly, we have three kids running around!” Sif said with a heavy sigh.

“Listen!” Ren yelled raising her hand. “We need to hurry back towards the Skeleton. Who knows how long he’ll be down!”

“Oh yeah, we should do that…” Sif said nodding. “Come on everyone!”

“Right!”

Meanwhile…

“Alright!” Hero announced as he landed on the ground. “Sorry, Mr. Blight, but I’m afraid I won’t be heading back to the hotel!” He announced talking to himself. “I’m going back to that mansion… If the Skeleton is here, then this is the best time to check it out!” He said to himself as he ran through the street going through the snowstorm.

He seemed to be ignoring the fact that he got his butt kicked by the robots, and not by the Skeleton when he first entered the manner…

“It’s time to get my answers! It’s time I avenge everyone in this city. It’s time to play hero!” The boy announced proudly. “I’m going to-”

“Dumass!” A loud voice announced as a foot slammed into Hero’s face. The boy felt his body twist as he was thrown across the pavement, sliding back. Ken landed on top of him as she folded her arms. “You idiot!” She shouted folding her arms up. “Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been!”

“Oww…” Hero said giving a small frown.

“Well! What do you have to say!” Ken announced still standing over him?

“I think you should remember that you’re in a skirt-”

‘Smack!’

A fl.u.s.tered Ken kicked Hero away as he was launched across the street once again.

“Pervert!”

Hero jumped up to his feet as he let out a sigh. “Ken? What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing? No! What are you doing!” Ken yelled? “That isn’t the direction, the hotel is in!”

“I’m going to the manner.” Hero said with a shrug. “I’m gonna storm the castle!” He announced.

Ken stared at him before giving a nod. “Alright. Let’s do it.”

“You’re coming with me?” Hero asked in confusion.

“Of course I am. You think I trust you to do this yourself?” Ken asked.

“You… Pose a good point.” Hero said giving a small nod. “I wonder if Sera will be coming with us?”

“We’d have to find her.”

“Oh, she’s over there!” Hero pointed past Ken’s shoulder as the girl turned to see Sera stumbling through the snow. “She wears so much shampoo, that I could smell her a mile away. Really burns my nose…” He said rubbing his face.

“Ahh! Commoners!” Sera said when she saw them. “Excellent!”

“Come on Sera…” Ken said letting out a small sigh as she reached out grabbing the Noble girl. “You’re coming with us.”

“Where are we going?” Sera asked raising an eyebrow.

“To go beat down on an evil bad guy!” Ken announced happily. “Like a Superhero!”

“That’s right.” Hero said giving a nod. “We’re gonna storm the castle and beat the smile off of that evil Noble! And nothing will stop-”

‘Bang!’

The entire ground shook, as every building was raised off of the ground, and the road itself seemed to bend and twist, as if it was breathing. Every window exploded, as cracks covered the ground. A red light seeped through the cracks as a wave of heat could he felt across the city.

From where they were standing the kids could see a gush of melted stone, spill through the city gushing over buildings, and lamposts.

Behind them, the city shook, as the ground seemed to dig in, and the buildings began to fall over.

Two loud mechanical whirling sounds could be heard echoing out to the black sky.

A large ‘crack’ exploded throughout the city, and the three kids were thrown back.

“Okay!” Hero shouted out. “Guess we’re checking that out!”
