Enforcers 17 The Start Of The Third Tes

"Finally back to one hundred percent!" Hero announced out as he jumped to his feet. He stretched his body as he smirked slightly. His arms seemed to flail around like noodles as he smirked. "Oh yeah! I'm back to my full power!"

"It's nice that after we did all of that G.o.d d.a.m.n exercise they gave two hours to rest up," Ken said nodding slightly as she stretched out on the ground. "That would have sucked having to do all of that and still have to do more test instantly afterward... I don't think I could have done it..." She said letting out a yawn.

"You two shouldn't be so relieved..." Kitsune stated calmly. "All that exercise is nothing compared to what an Enforcer has to do every day... The first step to being an Enforcer is to train your body up to a superhuman level..." The n.o.ble teen stated.

"I can already do superhuman things even without my Attribute!" Hero said rolling his multi-colored eyes. He slid a hand back through his black hair. "After all I'm-"

"You're the third strongest person alive..." The other four all said rolling their eyes. "Please stop saying that..."

"Actually I was gonna say I have the best Attribute!" Hero said smiling smugly. He crossed his arms as he stuck his tongue out at the group when they all frowned at him. "My Attribute is really powerful after all! It lets me do a lot of cool things!"

"What is your Attribute anyways?" Kitsune asked.

"You first." Hero stated as he stared at Kitsune with suspicion.

Kitsune gave a shrug as he lifted a finger up slowly. "Well, I'll leave out most of the main details but to put it simply..." Flames suddenly appeared above his hands as they took shape. "I can create and control fire to an extent..." The teen's orange eyes seemed to glow with power as a small orange outline appeared around his body. "Pretty neat right?" He said as he smirked. The flames on his fingers took the shape of an orange fox as it danced around. "Although I am a n.o.ble, and we n.o.ble are born with Super-Attributes..." He said simply.

"That is pretty cool..." Hero admitted nodding his head. "Although I like mine more."

"Well, what is it?" Kitsune asked. "You can't just go on about how cool yours is and not tell us." The n.o.ble pointed out.

Hero smirked slightly as his gold and purple eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne. "It's a bit complicated to explain... Basically, I can-"

A loud ring echoed out in the room as it once again began to shake. The entire room glowed a bright red as a red alarm s.h.i.+ned through. Then a loud booming voice could be heard from the intercom.

"Good evening recruits!" A loud voice announced out in a booming voice. "Today you will all be taking your last, and most important test." The walls of the room were pushed back as the entire building now shook and began to expand. What was once a fairly large room was ma.s.sive? The entire room was nearly a mile and a half big now. "If you look around you, you will see several recruits. Your goal is to defeat all of them..." That got some people to begin muttering. Everyone began to glance at each other.

Suddenly the entire room seemed to become colder and more closed off as everyone began to glare at each other. Even though the shaking suddenly stopped that voice still managed to put everyone into a panic. Everyone now seemed to be against each other as they all slowly backed away from each other.

"Looks like our friendly encounter has ended..." Cloud said quietly as he backed away from the group.

Hero frowned slightly. "Aww... And I was starting to like all of you... Oh well" The teen smirked slightly as his eyes glanced around the room. "Since we'll all be doing battles I know just the person I want to fight..." His multi-colored eyes finally stopped on the lone teen who stood by himself...

The voice continued. "When you see the signal you may begin. You will have a total of ten minutes to beat as many people as you can. Please note that the Captain's are all watching you now... You will be given points for every person you managed to take down..." There was a loud crack as the intercom went silent.

Then slowly a green light flashed through the room. No one said a word. No one moved a muscle. It was so silent until... "Melt away!" Max screamed out bringing his hands down as hard as he could. There was a ma.s.sive pillar of heat as molten lava began to explode out of it, causing screams of pain to ring out. "I'm going to melt you all!" He announced.

Then all h.e.l.l broke loose...

Hero jumped away from the group of people he had come to know as 'friends' as everyone simply broke out into fights. His jump carried him inhumanly far as he jumped nearly a half a mile away from his friends. "That was close... I felt like if I stayed there a moment longer they all would have targeted me for sure..." Hero said letting out a nervous laugh. "I don't think they really liked me?"

"Fancy meeting you here..." A feminine voice called out as a s.h.i.+ver went down Hero's spine.

Hero's eyes widened slowly as he recognized it. "Uh oh..." He tried to turn around only to feel a powerful punch to the back of his head as white-hot pain soared through him. The punch slammed him straight into the ground as he hit it hard enough to kick up the ground as dust raised up ten feet high. "Oww..." Her o said hissing out as he gritted his teeth.

"You a.s.shole! You just left me with that annoying n.o.bel girl!" Emma yelled out as she grabbed Hero by the ankle. Her hand seemed to hum slightly as Hero's entire body began to vibrate. She brought her arm up punching Hero into the ground as he sunk down into the metal as it seemed to mold around him.

"W-WhWhat! re-Y-ou doing?" Hero tried to tell out as his entire body vibrated at an intense speed as he shook. "Wh- y- am - I- sh king?" He tried to speak but accidentally bit his tongue.

"My Attribute allows me to control vibrations..." Emma said smirking slightly as she kept her hand on Hero's back. "Right now your insides are being shaken around. Don't worry. I won't kill you but you're gonna need to go to the hospital after-"

Hero's fist slammed into the girl's gut as she gasped out. She fell to her knees as she broke out into a coughing fit dropping to her knees. "Sorry, but messing with my organs doesn't work!" Hero said smugly. "Also... Sorry about this..." Hero brought his foot up as he slammed it down into the girl's head slamming her down onto the floor below, so hard her head actually broke through the floor, as her eyes rolled into the back of her head. "But I want to win..." The teen said as he crossed his arms. A smile crossed its way onto his face. "Sorry, but I won't hold any punches on anyone."

Emma didn't say a word as her eyes rolled back into her head. She was completely unconscious. The young teen placed her on the ground gently as he sat her down.

Hero turned away as he looked out across the room. It was in pure chaos as several people all just fought... Flames danced around in the air as glowing lights went crazy. Several Attributes went across the air as pure anarchy danced through the sky. It was kind of like looking into a dis...o...b..ll. A dis...o...b..ll of death. Amongst the crowd Hero spotted the man he was looking for.

With a slight smirk, Hero stepped forward. His smile grew as he headed over to where the pillar of lava was. He headed over to where Max was.

Meanwhile, Ken managed to step back avoiding the cane that was slammed down in front of her. She frowned as her eyes narrowed slightly. "What the h.e.l.l..." She questioned as Cloud twirled his cane in front of her.

"Sorry... I tried to take my shot?" Cloud said shrugging slightly. "I saw you were open so I went in for the attack..."

Ken frowned as she raised her sheathed sword up getting into a stance. "I was really wanting to smack that a.s.shole Hero on the head but I guess you will have to do..." She said as her dull red eyes flickered slightly. A red glow surrounded her weapon as she stepped forward. "Get ready you blind bada.s.s. I'm gonna kick your a.s.s!" Ken announced out.

Cloud smirked as he held his cane out. "Then let us duel..."

Off to the side Kitsune smirked slightly as he stepped to the side dodging a large icicle that was thrown his way. "My, oh my!" He said as his orange eyes danced with excitement. "What a surprise. You attack me first North?" He stated sliding out of the way of a second chunk of ice that threatened to crush him. "You might have even managed to take me out with that attack too but luckily for me, you hesitated... But I am surprised, that you took the first attack."

Irene frowned as she brought her hands up. They glowed a light blue as ice formed out. "Only because I know that if I didn't you would have attacked me first."

"Well... You aren't wrong..." Kitsune said shrugging. "But tell me... Do you really believe that your ice can best my flames?"

"Do you really believe your simple flames can get past my ice?" Irene shot back at him.

Kitsune's smirk only grew wider as an orange glow covered his body. "Ahh, but my dear North... Whoever said these were ordinary flames?" In a bright flash orange flames covered his body, then slowly they began to form? Nine flaming fox tails appeared behind him as a pair of flaming fox ears materialized on his head. "I am Kitsune Nine! Heir to the n.o.ble family of Nine, one of the twenty sacred branches pa.s.sed down to us by G.o.d! I have the flaming fox spirit within me!" He announced as the outline of a ma.s.sive fox appeared behind him. "This is my Attribute. The Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Th-That power is quite unreal..." Irene said gulping slightly as she stopped her hands from shaking. 'I can't keep hesitating...' She thought as she shook her head. "I guess it's true what they say about n.o.bles... They really are gifted... But! Even so! I will not lose to you! I can't lose here!" Ice appeared around the boy-dressed girl, as she brought her arms out forming several ice sickles around her. "Whatever you can do I can match it with my own power!" She announced boastfully.

"I'll quickly prove that claim wrong!" Kitsune stated as he boldly lifted his hands up bringing a wave of flames with him. Flames exploded out of him as the two elemental teens clashed. Fire and ice met as steam filled the room, and the two of them began their dance...

Kitsune waved his hand as flames fired out hissing at the air as they soared towards Irene. Irene raised her hands up creating a wall of ice that blocked the flames.

Several spikes made out of ice fired out towards the n.o.ble fox teen all of them nearly managing to impale the young teen. Kitsunes finger danced through the air as a fox made of fire blasted out towards his foe melting the ice. A flaming fox launched forward towards Irene forcing her to counter.

Irene threw her arms out creating a dome of ice right as the fox slammed into her. The dome shook as steamrolled off of it. With a yell, Irene brought her arms down causing it to explode out sending chucks of sharp ice everywhere.

Kitsune hissed in pain as he was pelted from all sides by the ice. He waved his hand as a wave of fire shot out hitting Irene's arm and eating away at her as she yelled in pain. The girl hissed out as she brought her arms up and ice melted over the flames putting them out and saving her arm. She glared at the n.o.ble as he met her glare.

And from there, their dance only continued as fire and ice repeatedly met again, and again. The two held nothing back as they threw out attack after attack each one more devastating than the last.

Over with Ken, the young girl matched Cloud blow for blow as the two clashed sword on cane. Ken smirked slightly as she brought her weapon down only for Cloud to parry it away. "Your skilless..." Cloud said slapping her away. "You clearly have no idea how to use that weapon..."

"Screw you," Ken said bringing her hand down and punching Cloud across the face. The Blind teen stepped back clutching his b.l.o.o.d.y nose as he glared at her with his unseeing eyes.

Cloud raised his hand as a dark green mist came out of his palm. The floor beneath him began to get eaten away as it bubbled and dissolved as the sickly green mist rolled over it breaking it apart.

"What the h.e.l.l? Acid mist? That is so unfair!" Ken complained as she jumped back avoiding the mist.

"Well, my Attribute is pretty powerful," Cloud stated. "Not only can I create and control mist, but I can also mess with its properties. In this case, I have given the mist the property of acid."

Ken frowned as she brought her sheathed sword up. "Well, then I'll simply have to get rid of that mist of yours..." She stated. A red outline coated her weapon as she suddenly slammed it down as hard as she could. The force was so strong that it actually seemed to tear straight through the air sending out a ma.s.sive shock wave that parted the mist.

Cloud gritted his teeth as he stabbed his metal cane into the ground using it to stop himself from being blown back from the attack. "That's some strength that you are packing in that tiny body..."

"f.u.c.k you! You can't even see how short I am you a.s.shole!"

Cloud simply smirked as he brought his cane up. "Your power. It is a physical enhancement correct?"

"I guess you could say that," Ken said shrugging. "Its called Amplifier." She stated. "To put it simply I can amplify an object or part of my body to a set amount. For example. If I was to hold a bat I could amplify its durability making it harder. Or I could amplify its bluntness. If I had a blade I can amplify how sharp it is. With it, I can make even a dulled blade sharper than anything found on this planet. Using that power on my body I can increase my speed, my strength, and even the rate at which I heal. Although it does have a cost. The ability requires quite a lot of energy to maintain. And if I don't have the energy it will begin to drain it from my body..."

"I guess that explains why you're so short..."

"I'm gonna kill you-"

"You overused your power as a kid, and the result was you never got the proper nutrients before it was too late. And here I was thinking you had a strong ability-"

"Screw you!" Ken yelled out running forward. The girl almost seems to teleport as she appeared in front of Cloud swinging her weapon up.

Cloud was ready for it though and brought his cane down clas.h.i.+ng with her. The two fighters slashed at each other with their weapons as they clashed again, and again. Neither one of them being able to break through the other one's defense.

Cloud gritted his teeth as he was actually forced to slide back with every swing Ken threw at him. His arms began to shake from the intense force from every strike. The blind teen smirked for a second as he brought his head back.

"What are you-" Ken began only to be stopped when Cloud threw his body forward viciously head b.u.t.ting the girl. Ken gasped out in shock as she slipped back. Cloud quickly saw this as his chance as he struck bringing his cane down onto the girl's head.

Ken hissed in pain as she brought her fist up slamming it straight into Clouds gut stabbing her hand into his gut hard enough to actually break some skin.

The two fighters slid back from each other as Cloud held his stomach. "N-Not bad. I'll have to get serious..." Cloud coughed out.

"Screw you. I don't even need to try yet." Ken gasped out clutching her head slightly.

Cloud simply smirked. "I'm sure you will..."

The two once more charged at each other both prepared to keep this fight going for as long as possible. Both teens smirked as they brought their respective weapons up and once again continued their clash...

Over with Kitsune and Irene, the two both gasped out as they stared at each other. Flames and ice coming off the two of them as they both waited for the other to make a move.

"This is getting nowhere..." Kitsune sighed out shaking his head. "We've fought for nearly five minutes and neither of us will win this rate. You keep hesitating and like a fool, I don't take my chance..."

"So what?" Irene said shrugging. "One of us has to win right?"

"Not if time runs out first..." Kitsune stated. "We only have five minutes left..."

"What are you suggesting then?"

"How about we call it a tie?"

"What! No."

"Hear me out," Kitsune said clutching his side. The boy was clearly beaten up pretty badly. "Listen North... How about we just turn away from each other and go fight the other recruits. As it is we both have 0 points right now. If we leave though we still have a shot at some points."

"I dunno..." Irene bit her lip slightly as she stared at the teen. "If I beat you I could guarantee that you won't get into the Enforcers... But then again if I fight you I could waste all my time and guarantee that I don't get into the Enforcers..."

"Exactly. Both of us want to get in. So let's get in together."

Irene finally let out a sigh. "Whatever." She stated as she turned away. "I'll just have to do better than you so I get placed on a better squad."

Kitsune smirked slightly as he turned away. "We'll see about that!"

Meanwhile on the other side of the room Hero slowly walked towards Max. A smirk was on the teen's face as his multi-colored eyes s.h.i.+ned slightly. He brought his hand up slapping away whoever got hear him, or in his way as he continued his march.

"I thought I would end up fighting you..." Max said letting out a sigh as he turned to face Hero.

"The moment I found out we would get to be fighting I instantly knew I needed to come find you!" Hero announced as he smirked slightly.

"I must confess," Max said raising his hand up slowly. "A part of me is excited... So far I have knocked out thirty recruits..."

"I knocked out about... Twenty on my way over here?" Hero stated shrugging.

"Indeed it would seem there aren't any worthy people to join the Enforcers this year. Us alone have managed to take out nearly half the room. I am glad I get to fight someone entertaining at least..." Max's hand began to glow a hot white as molten liquid began to drop from the palm of his hand. "You aren't normal... You look odd, and you have a strange back story. I have no idea what you are but clearly, you aren't like the rest of these runts..."

"I guess you could say that." Hero admitted as he punched his hands together. His multi-colored eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne slightly. For a brief moment, his eyes actually seemed to expand a little. "How about we skip the warm-up?" He suggested.

"Agreed!" Max screamed out as he brought his hand up. A wave of lave splashed out as Hero jumped to the side avoiding it. The heat hissed and cracked in the air as steam rose up. Molten magma began to spray out as Max let out a laugh. Lava began to bubble and hiss out as Hero covered his face frowning.

"That heat is really annoying!" He yelled out as sweat dripped down his face. It wasn't long before his clothing began to stick to his body as the teen hissed out. 'I need to think of a plan fast... That lava is really busted...' Hero raised his arm up as a smirk crossed its way onto his face. "Balloon style!" He announced as he began to suck in the air. His arm began to expand like a balloon as it grew in size getting bigger, and bigger.

"W-What the h.e.l.l am I looking at..." Max asked blinking slightly from shock. "Let me get this straight 'Mr. Third strongest in the world...' Your superpower is the ability to inflate part of your body like a Balloon..."

"Yep!"

"Y-You are so disappointing on so many levels..." Max sighed out as his eye twitched slightly. "And here I thought you would have some kind of cool power... Although? If your Attribute is inflation then how did you heal your broken-"

Hero threw out a ma.s.sive punch as his entire arm began to rapidly spin like a drill causing a cone of air to form around it. The punch barely missed its target as Max managed to jump back in a panic. The spinning fist slammed into the ground beneath the boy as it drilled a hole straight through it.

Hero's arm suddenly deflated as the teen ran forward letting out a yell. "St.u.r.dy body!" He announced as he came cras.h.i.+ng down towards Max. He slammed straight down cracking the floor as the fight became nothing more than a battle of fists.

The two teens punched and kicked at each other neither of them landing any critical hits. Max slammed his elbow into the boy's gut as Hero bit down biting into Max's shoulder.

"Balloon style!" Hero announced again as both his arms grew ma.s.sive. He brought them both up slamming them into Max's sides and sandwiching him in. Max began to glow a white-hot as steam rose off of him. Hero gasped slightly as red hot pained soared through his hands. His arms quickly shrunk as he changed up his style yet again. "St.u.r.dy Style!" He announced this time.

Max growled out as his knuckle slammed into Hero's face snapping the boys head back. Hero gritted his teeth bringing his head forward as he headb.u.t.ted Max's fist. A loud crack echoed out as the wrist snapped back.

'd.a.m.n!' Max thought as he hissed out in pain. 'I think he broke my wrist... His body became harder... Not even my magma is doing anything... But he stopped stretching... Can he only do one at a time? And the bruises in him aren't healing?' Max yelled out as he wrapped his arms around Hero as he attempted to slam him into the ground.

The two teens grappled with each other as both kicked, punched, and bite each other. It was clear neither of them was willing to give up just yet. Hero seemed to ignore the pain however as his body was almost rock hard simply tanking whatever was thrown at him. Max, on the other hand, was beginning to get bruised up.

Hero slid back as he lifted his foot. Then in a loud crack, his foot shot out, stretching forward. Max threw his hand out firing a wave of magma that hit Hero's arm as the boy let out a loud yell of agonized pain. Hero's leg suddenly pulled back as he seemed to give up on the attack.

Both teens jumped back both catching their breaths and glaring at each other.

"Heal Style..." Hero said rubbing his arm slightly as the skin seemed to heal from the horrible burn wound. His bruises also began to heal slowly as he rubbed his face.

"So you can even heal from a pretty severe burn..." Max stated narrowing his eyes. "Your body can stretch and inflate like a Balloon... And you can make your skin become rock hard... What the h.e.l.l is your Attribute?"

"Well 'my' Attribute is pretty simple." Hero said as he smirked. "I can inflate my body or compress my body. When I inflate it, the body part I choose gets bigger and becomes like a giant balloon. It loses its defense but gains a sort of bouncy feel to it allowing me to slam it around. When I compa.s.s my body it actually gets a little slimmer. I get more st.u.r.dy and can deal out more damage but over a less wide range. My Attribute is inflation and compress!"

"That still doesn't explain the stretching of your limbs, or the healing, or that super strength... If you can inflate I can see how it would grow and get wider but earlier your arm actually stretched out on its own. Not to mention whenever you inflate you suck in air... But when your limbs stretch out and your body heals you don't do anything... Those are something else right..."

"Both the healing, and the stretching are two separate things..." Hero stated as he shrugged slightly. "The stretching is me using a part of a... Shall we say a curse? And the healing is me using a gift."

"A curse... A gift... I don't understand." Max said frowning. "I don't like having you know something that I don't."

"Get used to it."

Max scowled slightly as he began to walk forward. "Well... We have about a minute left... We should get ready to end this..." The teen brought his arms up as he slammed then together as he marched forward. "As you might have guessed my Attribute is the ability to control magma. Not only that I can create it and I heat resistant to it, as well as resistant to the toxin from it."

"And?"

"Well, I was planning on saving this for a particular... Hard encounter. However, you have proven yourself... Allow me to show you the power I possess!" Max brought his hands apart as his entire body exploded in a white light. A white aura of power seemed to come off of him as he walked forward. Steam began to just roll off of him as the entire ground melted. "Amaterasu-Ōmikami..." Max spoke softly. "Mighty Armor Stage One..." In an explosion of pure heat, lava seemed to suddenly form around him as it took shape.

Then in a flash of light, Max stood now cloaked in an armor of pure lava... The molten metal had taking on the shape of what looked like a knights armor except for one change. Max's helmet was that of wolf's head. The armor glowed a white-hot, as white aura crackled around him.

All the fighting in the room stopped as everyone stared at Max in absolute shock.

The teen stepped forward and with every step, the ground beneath him seemed to actually melt... "It's still difficult for more to turn my Mantra on when I please..." Max said his voice coming out in a loud booming howl form the helmet. "However it would seem I managed to activate it..." White aura coated his body as he brought his hand up forming a blade made out of lava.

"W-What the h.e.l.l is this..." Hero said with wide eyes. "This isn't a normal Attribute?"

"Of course not. What you see before you is absolute power. This is the Equation Of Life!"

Hero frowned as he got into a stance. "Well don't think I intend to lose that easily..." The teen growled slightly. His fingers stabbed into the floor as he got into an all-fours stance. "Monster Style..." His body seemed to get slightly buffer as he grew slightly. He cracked the ground beneath him as he seemed to gain weight. His body began to grow in size as he gained more power. His eyes seemed to glow a silver color even with his contacts. "I had a secret weapon of my own after all..."

"Well then let us determine which of us is better."

The two exploded forward as a loud boom echoed out and the sound barrier scattered. Then-

A loud ring echoed out in the room. "Time is up!" The speaker announced. "Please stop fighting."

Hero and Max both stopped mere inches away from each other.

"What a shame..." Max said quietly. The lava around suddenly vanished as the white light dispersed. "Let's finish this another time."

"Whatever..." Hero hissed out. His body quickly changed back to normal as he turned away.

"My... Someone seems to have gotten annoyed..." Max stated as he too turned away. "I look forward to seeing what you can do Hero... It seems I was wrong about you on so many levels..."

Hero scowled as he walked away from the boy. He quickly marched over to where Kitsune was. "Can you believe that a.s.shole!" Hero hissed out.

"Hero?"

"What?"

Kitsune grabbed Hero by the shoulders as he rapidly shook the boy. "How the h.e.l.l are you that strong! And why were you acting like an idiot?"

"I wasn't acting..." Hero said shaking Kitsune's arm off of him. "It's just as that guy fought me more and more I was forced to sharpen up... That guy was really annoying." He sighed out.

"I have a serious question," Kitsune said slowly as he reached out grabbing Hero's shoulder. "That last clash you two made. Who would have won?"

Hero turned away folding his arms. "I hate to admit it but that man would have... I don't know what he did but that aura wasn't an Attribute... Mantra... Where have I heard that word before... Mantra... Mantra..."

"Mantra?" Kitsune hummed as he shrugged. "I know I've heard it too..."

"Oh well. I'm sure it's nothing." Hero said shrugging.

"Well... This is it... After this, we'll finally know if we did good enough right..." Kitsune said gulping slightly.

"Don't worry..." Hero said patting the boy on the shoulder. "I know we did good. After all... We have that spark."
