Enforcers 20 The Red Demon

Enforcers Squad Six training room...

"What?" Kitsune said blinking slightly as he stared at the two adults. "I'm sorry can you repeat yourself."

"Certainly!" Jackson said nodding his head. "I said 'you need to fight, and defeat Dawson.' Exactly like that word for word." The young man stated as he shrugged slightly.

The seven of them now stood in a ma.s.sive state of the art training room. Jackson had taken the gang there after claiming it was their time to prove themselves. Once inside of the room he had finally told the five new recruits what their mission was.

They apparently had to fight, and best a seasoned Enforcer... An Enforcer who is stupidly strong.

The state of the art training room was a ma.s.sive open s.p.a.ce with nothing inside of it. All it was, was a white floor, white walls, and a white roof. There was millions of tiny lines that could be seen on the surface of the walls, roof, and floors. If a person looked close enough they would realize that the room was actually made up of many tiny squares all connected together. They appeared to be made out of metal.

"You want all five of us to fight Dawson? Like all at the same time? Five on one?" Ken asked curiously. "I get that he is a full-fledged Enforcer member but... I still feel like that is pus.h.i.+ng it to the extreme. Can he really handle all five of us?"

Jackson let out a chuckle as he gave a shrug. "If you really think it will be easy then you can take it up with Dawson." He said. "But you should know. Dawson is stronger than I am."

"If you don't think I can, then be my guest to try and prove me wrong..." Dawson announced as he walked to the center of the room. He grabbed his Enforcer jacket taking it off and throwing it over to Jackson who caught it. "As it stands we can't bother with those who have no real desire to be here. Being in the Enforcers requires you to put in work and commitment. We are the last line of defense for Humanity. As such if I don't think you're fit, for this job you'll be sacked. If none of you can beat me then every one of you will be kicked out on your first day." He stated. "Being an Enforcer doesn't mean you can't have fun, but you do still need to take the training seriously. It isn't just your life you put on the line, but the lives of the civilians. Even when you think you've reached your limit you should get back up, even if you are only able to fight for even a single second longer, that single second bought a fleeing civilian one second more than they had. If none of you can manage to hurt me then all of you will be expelled immediately!" He announced out as he threw his arm out.

Everyone in the room gulped slightly as they all took a step back. The once quiet man now stared at them like a hungry predator as he eyed each of them up. It seemed he found the idea of hunting them down to be enjoyable...

"For this training, I won't be getting involved!" Jackson announced as he crossed his arms. "I won't give advice to either you, or Dawson. I'll simply be watching all of you. I'll also be turning the level up every few minutes..."

"The level up?" Irene questioned raising an eyebrow.

"This is a state of the art battle ground simulator designed with the purpose of pus.h.i.+ng a person to their very limits. It starts off at level one and ends at level one hundred." Jackson explained. "During your fight with Dawson, I will slowly begin to up each level making the battlefield and condition of the battlefield change, causing them to get harder and harder. You'll have to adapt to survive. If you can't do that then you have no place being here."

"That doesn't seem very fair..." Kitsune said.

"An Enforcer doesn't get to pick their battleground. That's decided by the enemies." Jackson stated seriously. His seemingly jokester like persona was gone. He seemed to now be taking the situation completely serious as he crossed his arms.

"How long do we have to win?" Hero questioned.

"You have as long as it takes..." Dawson stated. "When I feel like you can no longer go on and I might accidentally kill you I'll call it than..."

There was a moment of silence that pa.s.sed as no one said a word. It was completely silent. Then breaking the silence a quiet rumbling could be heard. The floor vibrated slowly, but not enough to trip, or break anything. It was small and barely noticeable.

'Level One Activated...' A robotic voice announced from the roof.

A few more seconds ticked by as everyone stood there unmoving.

"Aren't you going to attack us?" Kitsune questioned as he eyed up the man.

"No..." Dawson stated calmly. "If I go on the attack it will be over in a matter of seconds... Right now I'll simply stay on the defensive and let you guys work. Oh! And while you do technically have as much time as you want to try and beat me I would suggest hurrying. No normal person will be able to last five seconds in the level ten room..."

A few more seconds pa.s.sed in total silence as everyone thought about what they should do. Finally, Hero stepped forward.

"Here goes nothing..." Hero stated as he marched forward.

"Your plan is just a frontal a.s.sault?" Dawson asked curiously.

Hero ignored the man as he pulled his arm back. He began to suck in the air as his arm grew in size.

"What the h.e.l.l kind of c.r.a.ppy Attribute is that!" Ken questioned as she watched Hero's arm inflate like a balloon.

"It's a powerful ability..." Kitsune stated bluntly. "I watched him fight that lava kid... I don't really know how it works or what it is but its still pretty strong..."

Hero's arm inflated growing nearly twice the size of his body. The limb flopped on the ground bouncing slightly like a Balloon. Then without warning, he struck! Hero twisted his body launching the limb at the man as it tore through the air like a whip.

Dawson simply grunted as he reached out catching the giant limb, his fingers dug into it as he grabbed a hold of it. With a twist of his hand, he threw the arm away from him which dragged Hero away. Dawson didn't have a moment to rest though as instantly he had to block a sword swing from Ken. The sheathed blade bounced off his hand harmless as he backhanded the girl away sending her flying back as well.

Kitsune suddenly appeared to his left waving his hands out as nine flaming foxtails, and fox ears made out of fire appeared on his body. He brought his arms together pointing his hand out as a wave of flames rocketed out towards the man. Irene was right behind the fox teen but she froze trying to come up with a plan.

Dawson merely smirked as he brought his arm up and punched the air so hard he sent out a ma.s.sive shock wave that split the fire in half. As he did that he stepped forward and head-b.u.t.ted a ma.s.sive block of ice that was launched at him by Irene who finally moved. Both shock waves from the two attacks carried back slamming into Irene, and Kitsune and knocking them back as well.

"What the h.e.l.l!" Cloud said when he realized everyone else was thrown back. "All four of you failed? Did you even get him to move from his spot?" Cloud questioned.

"Well, I don't see you doing anything a.s.shole!" Hero yelled out as he picked himself up. He dusted himself off as he stared at Dawson.

"Its called tactics..." Cloud stated. "I'll attack when I know I can hit him. Until then I'll save my strength and wait for an opening..."

'Level Two...' The speaker announced as Jackson upped the level. The low vibrations of the room seemed to get worse as it began to shake.

"Better hurry." Dawson stated bluntly. "So far no one has laid a finger on me. I guess Raijn was wrong about the five of you..." He said simply.

Hero charged forward bringing his arms out as he launched out several fast thrown punches all of which Dawson blocked. Hero swung, and swung his fist never hitting the target. His arms bounced around like a balloon as he tried to just lay a finger in the man.

Dawson never moved a step as he simply knocked away all of Hero's punches. Again and again, the boy threw his arms out getting faster and faster as his arms became a blur. It looked like he suddenly had multiple arms as they all crashed through the air.

'Level Three!' The loudspeaker announced as the shaking got even worse.

"St.u.r.dy Style!" Hero announced as his body became slightly more lean and muscular. He threw out a powerful punch only for Dawson to simply catch the strike and pull his arm up flipping Hero over him. Hero inhaled as his body went back to normal then began to rapidly expand once more. His stomach grew as be got fatter, and fatter forcing the man to drop him.

"Enough with this playing around!" Dawson announced punching Hero in the gut and sending him flying back. Hero's body bounced slightly as he slammed into several things. "You showed off way more in your fight with that other kid. Take this serious. I've already figured out how your powers work."

"As if." Hero said as his body deflated.

"Your Attribute is the Balloon. Or at least that's what you call it. With it, you can inflate or compress your body to a certain extent. When Compressed your body is leaner from your muscles being compressed down. You have a higher output of strength. When you're in Balloon mode however you expand those muscles inflating them. This causes your limbs to grow to absurd levels. Like a Balloon, it doesn't have a lot of power behind it but, it does have that annoying bouncing nature to it which throws you around and protects you. One is powerful, the other is annoying."

There was a brief silence that pa.s.sed over everyone.

"Lucky guess..." Hero mumbled out.

"Although that still leaves me with more questions," Dawson admitted. "Like how you- " The man brought his arms up in a flash blocking a powerful strike from Ken that was actually strong enough to slide him back slightly. "Jesus!" Dawson gritted out as his yellow eyes widened in surprise. "You're fast!"

Ken brought her arm back as she swung her weapon again, and again, and again. Over and over again. Dawson kept his arms up blocking each powerful swing. Dawson's feet began to slide back again as he gritted his teeth. With one last mighty swing she hit the man's arms so hard she actually caused his arms to fall down just a small bit leaving his belly exposed.

Ken brought her arm back as it began to glow red. Then stepping forward she unleashed a powerful punch straight into the man's gut.

Dawson spat up as the fist hit him hard slamming straight into him like a mini train. There was a loud crack as the sound barrier broke in a sonic boom. Dawson's entire body was thrown back as he slammed into the ground and was carried away making several rolls before finally stopping.

Ken let out a loud hiss as she gritted her teeth and held her arm. Smoke rolled off of it from how hard she had hit with it. The arm was bruised and battered now as she clutched it to her chest. Her sleeve was melted and badly torn.

"Thank... G.o.d... She... Didn't... Do... That... To... Me..." Hero stated slowly as his eyes slowly widened in horror. "Also... That was so G.o.d d.a.m.n cool! The wind, and the big boom! Why didn't you do that earlier?"

"Have seen my arm!" Ken shouted out in annoyance. "My body can't handle that power unleashed that much. I only used it to finish him off."

"I'm actually impressed..." Everyone froze as they turned finding Dawson pick himself back up. The man smiled slightly as he dusted himself off. "That punch you threw forced me to use my Attribute to protect myself..." He admitted as he reached up placing a hand on his stomach. His s.h.i.+rt now had a ma.s.sive fist-size hole in it as flames came off of it slightly. His skin, however, was perfectly intact. He didn't even look that injured. "That is some powerful Attribute... You store up power into things, right?"

"That's right," Ken said nodding slightly. "I can basically power up anything I'm touching. I can make anything stronger or hit harder, with a sword I can make the blade stronger, and up its wind resistance allowing it to move through the air easier, with a bat I can buff its blunt damage, or increase how st.u.r.dy it is... I can also use it on myself to boost my own power, and body. Usually, I only do that in short burst and at a smaller rate since... Well, look." She glanced down as her almost broken arm. "If I'm not careful I can break whatever I'm putting the power into. This includes objects that I power up as well, and of course my body."

"I see. Your Attribute isn't just a physical enhancement... It's just an enhancement. Although you clearly have one ma.s.sive weakness. That ability is draining your body right? The fights barely been going on for ten minutes and already you are breathing heavily... Not to mention you put more power then you could handle in that last attack." Dawson stated as he nodded. "I'll admit that kind of Attribute would be useful to have if trained, but I still won't pa.s.s you until you have proven you are serious about being an Enforcer..."

'Level Four...'

Suddenly the room s.h.i.+fted slightly as it seemed to tilt slight causing it to be a slope now. It was now becoming more noticeable.

"Ken..." Cloud said walking up. "You should take a quick break. I've listened to this fight long enough... I think I've figured him out?" The blind teen announced as he walked up. He held his cane out at his side as he marched towards Dawson.

Cloud quickly sprung forward swinging his cane out as he attacked Dawson with everything he had. Smoke exploded off of him surrounding them in a maze of fog as he took away his opponent's sight.

Inside the mist, the fight echoed out as the two figures could be seen dancing around each other as they clashed. Again, and again. Neither one getting the upper hand.

"I'm impressed!" Cloud announced as he swung his cane only to have Dawson duck under the strike. "Most people aren't able to fight me so easily once I take away their sight!"

"I'm not like most people... I've spent my whole life training my instincts up to superhuman levels." Dawson admitted throwing out a punch only for Cloud to lean back dodging it.

The two continued their combat as they slowly got closer and closer to hitting one another. Then.

'Smack!'

'Level Five'

The room began to tilt left and right as the vibrations got worse.

Dawson's fist slammed straight into Clouds cane! Cloud held his metal rod up having used it as his s.h.i.+eld. "Got you..." Dawson stated boldly as his fingers suddenly wrapped around the cane. He pulled his arm back dragging Cloud to him and slamming his free hand straight into the teen's face as he punched him so hard he threw him out of the mist. Dawson marched out of the mist as he tossed the cane on the ground. "Not good en-" Flames slammed into the man as he was pushed back.

Kitsune walked up deciding it was his turn to show off what he could do. The Nine-Tailed Fox smirked slightly as he punched his palm getting fired up. Flames danced off of him as he got ready to fight. "So far you found a weakness and the last three people who tried to fight you. Let's see you find a weakness in mine... Although I should warn you. My family has no weakness!" He lifted his hands as his flames took shape into two spinning disks made of fire.

The two disks fired out cutting through the air as they spun rapidly, causing flakes of heat to crackle off of them.

Dawson frowned as jumped to the side avoiding both disks only for them to explode on either side of him.

"Fox Fang!" Kitsune announced throwing one arm out as several giant spikes made of fire launched out. The spikes took the shape of what looked like large fangs as they bite down around Dawson.

Dawson grunted as he flexed his body ripping the attack off of him. With a growl, he jumped forward apparently entering in on the attack.

Kitsune smirked as he dodged out of the way as Dawson came cras.h.i.+ng down. The n.o.ble raised both his arms as a fist made of fire appeared above Dawson dropping down.

Dawson raised his hand up catching the fist. "When you create an object out of fire it becomes a solid thus allowing it to be held. That is it's weak-"

'Snap!'

Kitsune simply snapped his fingers as the giant hand exploded out. "Actually I can choose rather I want it to be solid or remain like fire. I usually choose solid so I can trick people later by making it exp-"

Kitsune gasped out in pain as Dawson's hand tore through the smoke and wrapped around the boy's throat lifting him up off of the floor as he glared at the teen.

'Level Six!'

Dawson's yellow eyes s.h.i.+ned like a predator as he stepped out of the smoke holding Kitsune by the neck. "I'll admit it. Your Attribute is extremely powerful. I don't really see any ma.s.sive weakness. However. Your att.i.tude... That's your weakness. You're just like Jackson-"

"Take that back!" Jackson shouted out.

Dawson chucked the body of Kitsune in the air as his hand wrapped around the boy's legs and he slammed him straight down into the ground as hard as he could. As soon as the boy hit the floor Dawson turned his body dragging him across the floor and chucking him straight into the wall of room as hard as he could.

Kitsune slammed into the wall and fell down painfully cras.h.i.+ng into the floor as he seemed unconscious.

"I think he really p.i.s.sed off Dawson..." Hero muttered out stepping away.

"Is he going to be okay?" Ken questioned also stepping away.

"Nope," Dawson stated with a smirk. "And then there was one." He turned to Irene who was biting her lip as she tried to come up with a plan. She couldn't think of any...

Irene lifted her arms out firing out a powerful wave of ice only for Dawson to jump to the side avoiding it. Dawson slammed into the wall as he turned his body stabbing his feet into the wall causing him to actually stand on the side of the wall. Then he fired forward running on the wall as he jumped towards Irene.

Irene brought her arms down-firing out a ma.s.sive like glacial ball but Dawson simply punched straight through it. Irene slid back barely dodging the strike as she raised both her arms up.

Then she stopped suddenly as she hesitated. She frowned as ideas soared through her head all of which she shot down. In a panic, she tried to think of any kind of plan but wasn't fast enough. With a mighty punch, Dawson slammed his fist into her face and threw her across the battlefield just like he had done with the others.

"Man we suck!" Hero announced. "None of us could do anything."

"Hero!" Dawson barked out. "You are goofing off too much. You have power but lack the nature necessary to use it. You also act before you think attacking me with no real skill. Ken. you have power but you acted without thinking and used to much of it hurting yourself. Cloud... You were actually okay. Kitsune. You are way to flashy and flamboyant. You got into your style so much you lost focus and forgot that I can tank your attacks easily. And North! You hesitated too much and wasted your chance. You think before you act too much and worry... At the rate each of you are going none of you will defeat me! I'm still not even trying!" He yelled out. "Now get back up and try again!"

'Level Seven!'

The entire room now began to spin as the shaking got even worse and the tilting got even faster.

Cloud blindly reached around finding his cane as he stood back up.

Hero also stood back up as he stretched slightly. "Let's try a different approach..." The boy announced as he brought his arm back. Then suddenly it rocketed forward as he punched out. His fist stretched out suddenly as it seemed to grow crossing the entire battlefield in mere seconds.

'It's fast!' Dawson thought as the fist slammed into him at an insane speed. The man grunted out as he was pushed back. 'But it doesn't have as much power as his other strikes...' He realized as he smirked slightly. His own arm shot out like a viper as it snaked around Hero's. Then he began to spin.

"Uh-oh..." Hero said slowly as he realized what was about to happen. "This was a bad idea! I take it back! I take it back..."

Dawson began to spin as he got faster and faster. Eventually, the momentum caused Hero to be dragged as the teen tried to pull his arm back with no success. He couldn't use any of his powers though while his arm was stretched out. This meant he didn't have his st.u.r.dy or inflated armor. Any attack now would hurt... And this wasn't just a normal attack.

Dawson only got faster as he spun now going quicker, and quicker. It got so fast Hero was actually lifted off of the ground as Dawson gritted his teeth and got even faster reaching insane levels. The wind hissed out as Dawson spun so fast he looked almost like a blur.

Then he simply let go.

Hero let out a yell as he flew straight back. His body slammed straight into Kitsune who was just now managing to get back up. The two bodies slammed together as they crashed back into the metal wall.

"Oww..." They both stated as the two groaned out in pain.

Hero coughed out as he rolled off of the teen. "Hey, guys... I just had a thought... We keep attacking him one on one and it doesn't work? Why don't we all just gang up on him? It'll be harder for him to hit us that way right?"

"That's... Actually not a bad idea..." Cloud muttered. "In fact. I have an idea." He blew out into the air as smoke formed out. The smoke took the shape of small tiny writing.

Dawson squinted his eyes but was unable to read what they said. The writing made of smoke floated over to each teen as they all read the message.

'Level Eight!' The room read out however everyone was too focused to notice.

"This could be trouble..." Dawson stated slowly. "I'll have to be careful that they don't do anything to-" He backflipped narrowly avoiding the ma.s.sive fireball that was thrown at him. As soon as he landed on his feet his eyes widened as he watched the entire room fill up slowly with mist. "d.a.m.n it-" Dawson sidestepped a sheathed sword, that tore its way down through the fog. "Ken?" A second later a cane fired out from the same spot barely missing him. From the mist, Cloud stepped forward holding his cane in one hand and Ken's sword in the other as he slashed both of them! Dawson raised his arms up blocking the strike only for Cloud to loop his arms around the man's pulling them out as he slid back dragging the man slightly.

"Now!" Cloud announced right as Hero and Ken came cras.h.i.+ng through the mist.

Hero brought his leg back as he dived kicked down towards Dawson and hit the man straight in the gut as hard as he could putting all his power into that one kick while Ken did the same but with her arm. The tiny girl slammed her fist straight into Dawson's surprised expression of a face as she gritted her teeth. A ma.s.sive shock wave exploded out from both Hero and Ken as the two hit the man as hard as they could, both of them giving it there all!

The force from the shock wave they created was enough to blow Cloud back throwing him backwards! As he flew he raised his hand up touching the fog. "Now! Convert into Chlorine gas!" He called out as the mist began to bubble and change. The mist shrunk down around Ken, Hero, and Dawson as both the teens. .h.i.t Dawson hard enough to actually slam the man into the ground creating ma.s.sive crater on the metal floor.

Hero reached out grabbing an injured, and ma.s.sively exhausted Ken as he quickly used his still kicking leg to launch himself away from Dawson who was still in the mist as it closed around him.

Finally, it was Kitsune's turn as the n.o.ble teen lifted his hand up. "Fun fact. Chlorine is an extremely flammable substance when paired with the right compounds!" He announced as he threw his hand out launching out his biggest fireball yet stright into the gas.

'Boom!"

The entire room shook as the fire explode out far beyond anything any of the teens had seen yet shaking the room as the metal melted from how hot the fire was.

And it still wasn't done.

Last but certainly not least Irene stepped forward bringing her arms down as hard as she could as a 30 meter 200-ton block of ice dropped down on the smoldering crater.

A ma.s.sive boom went off as the giant chunk of ice smashed down onto the flaming hunk of metal.

Jackson stood there with a wide expression for a second. "Geez... You guys really went all out huh?"

"Oh my G.o.d, oh my G.o.d, oh my G.o.d!" Irene shouted out in horror. "Did we kill him! Are we in trouble! I didn't mean to! He made me do it!" She shouted pointing at Cloud.

"Oh thank G.o.d it's over..." Ken said as Hero sat the girl down. She instantly fell back as she began breathing heavily. "Doing that attack is really exhausting." She whined out.

"Did we kill him?" Kitsune asked in a panic.

"Relax..." Jackson said sighing out as he crossed his arms. "Dawson isn't dead. He's too strong to go down like that."

"Are you sure Mr. Storm?" Kitsune questioned as he stared at the ma.s.sive ice cube that was slowly melting. "Cause we hit him... Really hard. Like super hard..."

"Of course Dawson is alive. He's the only Enforcer who isn't a Captain or Vice-Captain who has a t.i.tle..."

"He has a t.i.tle?" Hero questioned slightly confused. "What is it?" He questioned.

Jackson simply smirked as he reached out switching a b.u.t.ton. 'Level Nine!' Jackson turned flas.h.i.+ng the kids a smile. "They call him the Red Demon-"

The giant block of ice was lifted off the ground as it exploded from a powerful force. The smoke cleared instantly as all the flames went out. And from the wreckage, Dawson walked out. And he was p.i.s.sed... Really p.i.s.sed...

All the kids stared in shock at the monster in front of them. The Red Demon! The only Enforcer who wasn't a Captain, or Vice-Captain who has a t.i.tle.

Dawson finally felt the need to use his Attribute. It was time he got serious... All along his body from his feet, all the way up to his head red tendrils covered his body. It looked as if his skin had been covered up with muscle fibers? None of his body was visible anymore save for a spot on the head where two very p.i.s.sed off yellow eyes peered out. His mouth had become a large jaw filled with rows of fleshy teeth made out of the substance his armor was made out of. Two large devil horns poked out of the top of his head. They too were made out of the muscle like substance. The man now stood at eight feet tall coated head to toe in this substance as it seemed to squirm and pulsate on his body like a heartbeat... He looked utterly terrifying.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity of silence Hero spoke up.

"We are so screwed!"

A ma.s.sive boom went off as Dawson rocketed forward easily breaking the sound barrier as he suddenly appeared next to Kitsune and Irene. His arm shot out backhanding Kitsune straight into a wall as he slammed into the metal hard enough to bend it. Dawson's other hand fired out grabbing Irene by the head as he spun on his hills and threw her as hard as he could straight into Cloud causing the two to mash together as they slammed back into the wall.

Finally, the boom from the sound barrier finished as this had all happened in one single moment. Hero and Ken stared at where Dawson was still processing the fact that the man had even moved behind him.

Right as the two of them turned Dawson struck launching himself forward and unleas.h.i.+ng a devastating punch Ken's way.

Ken closed her eyes right as the punch was thrown at her. She waited for it to reach her but it never did. Instead, Hero screamed out in pain as he stood in front of Ken in an attempt to block the strike holding the punch back.

Hero's foot slammed into the ground as he gritted his teeth and held the arm back refusing to let himself slide back as he held the arm back. "Hey, Dawson! It looks like I was able to lay a finger on you..." Hero said triumphantly as his feet dug into the metal floor breaking it as he slid back. Hero let out a shout as he gave his all. He inhaled his body as he blew up rapidly expanding. Right as his feet gave out he turned his body scoping Ken up as he protected her.

Dawson's fist slammed into Hero but by now his body was so inflated that when he was launched back he bounced along the floor. In his arms, he held Ken s.h.i.+elding her from most of the damage as the two were thrown back.

Hero finally stopped bouncing as he slammed into the back wall. He rolled over onto his back as he opened his arms dropping Ken down. Then he deflated. "Oww... If I wasn't in Balloon mode I think he might have killed me." Hero said coughing out as he tried not to pa.s.s out from the pain.

Dawson stared at all the kids as they laid on the ground all of them groaning in pain. "It's over... You all f"

"Not yet!" Hero gasped out. The teen used everything in him to try and sit back up. He placed his hands on the ground as he tried to push himself back to a standing position. "You said we would go until we couldn't fight anymore..." Hero clinched his fist as he struggled to step forward. "Well, news flas.h.!.+ I'm still standing here!" He announced out standing up as tall as he could as he marched forward.

Hero stumbled forward throwing out a weak attack that Dawson didn't even bother to dodge. The man simply backhanded Hero away slamming the teen into the wall once more.

"If Hero can still stand than so can I..." Cloud said getting back up as he pushed Irene off of him. "I have a goal I need to reach. And I won't stop until I reach it!" Cloud exclaimed out.

'Slam!'

The sound of Dawson's fist echoed out as he punched Cloud hard enough to nearly snap the boy's neck.

"He's right..." Kitsune coughed out as he sat up now. "I have a goal I need to complete... I can't do that unless I'm an Enforcer so I won't lose here!" He exclaimed as he managed to get to his feet.

"Screw it..." Irene said standing up as well. "I came this far might as well..."

The two tripped forward as they tried to punch the man.

Dawson brought both his arms up then he slammed them down on both their heads. As soon as they hit the floor his foot shot out kicking them across the room.

"If you a.s.sholes can do it then so can I..." Ken said sighing out. She struggled to push herself up since one of her arms was broken and the other one was nearly broken. After a few seconds, she managed to stand back up as she clenched her fist.

Dawson fired forward uppercutting the girl straight into the ceiling as she slammed up then plummeted down smacking the floor with a bone-chilling thud.

"Now it's over..." Dawson announced. "None of you can-"

Hero spat up as he managed to force himself back up one more time. He wasn't the only one. Cloud stabbed his cane into the ground as he sat up using it as a crutch. Kitsune got to his knees as Irene helped him up. Even Ken managed to stand back up as she swayed back and forth.

"All of you want to keep going even though you're at your limits?"

"h.e.l.l yeah..." Hero stated as all five recruits limped forward. "None of us are ready to give up!"

Five fist were thrown as every one of the recruits threw out a punch. Every fist hit Dawson weakly but despite that, they still put their all into it. They all gave it 101%.

Dawson stood there as his red armor pulled back being absorbed into his body as he reverted back to normal.

"You pa.s.s."
