Enforcers 43 The Camp

"I... It's so... So cold!" Ken said through gasping teeth as they clattered. "This sucks!"

"Ahh, it's not so bad..." Kitsune stated as he rolled his eyes.

"You a.s.shole! You're heating yourself up!" Ken yelled when she saw the orange flames flicker off of Kitsune's arms.

"Will you two shut up!" Irene hissed out. "This is a stealth mission!"

"Well, I'm sorry it's so cold out here!" Ken complained as she folded her arms up.

The six Enforcers were currently climbing the mountain heading to where they last saw the nest. Now that they all had a good night to sleep Jackson had given them all-new winter clothing, since most of theirs were ripped up. n.o.body knew where he had gotten the clothing from or how he had exact measurements and they didn't feel like asking. They left Maudite back at the Village since they didn't want the twelve-year-old girl to get hurt way out here. Jackson managed to threaten some people into letting her stay inside and watching after her while they were all gone...

"How much further?" Hero questioned.

"Just a little while longer," Jackson stated. "It should be just up ahead... Thankfully we haven't come across any more Bestia Macht... Probably because most of them are dead now..."

Hero let out a satisfied hum as he stared down at his hands. He reached up taking his gloves off as he started playing with his pointer finger?

"What are you doing?" Kitsune questioned as he raised an eyebrow.

"I'm trying to think of a new attack?" Hero said shrugging. "My Big-Arm-Strike punch is cool but right now my body isn't able to handle it, and it destroys my limb... The problem is that my Balloon power, is the Attribute I'm best with, and I doubt I could come up with something with the Monsterfication since I honestly don't understand how it fully works, and my Living-Nano, Attribute is neat, but I also don't know how to use that in combat..."

"I still think it's crazy how you have three Attributes... Humans are only supposed to have one. Then again, I guess that's why they call it the Monsterfication..." Kitsune said as he gave a shrug. "But I do get what you mean about coming up with a better attack... My Foxes-Flare wasn't what I thought it would be either..."

"Jokes on you two," Ken said smirking slightly. "My Red-Flash, is exactly what I wanted it to be!"

"Yeah but it's not very flashy..." Hero pointed out causing the girl to slip and fall on her face. "Also doesn't it send shock waves through your hands shaking them?"

"Take that back!" Ken demanded standing back up.

Hero stuck his tongue out at the girl as he turned looking back down at his finger. "Maybe if I can take the Big-Arm-Strike down to a smaller extent... Or... Maybe I can make it even bigger, and stronger, so it doesn't matter that I lose the limb since I'll kill anything in one shot... Or... Maybe I shouldn't focus on power at all? Maybe I should focus on Defense... Or speed?" Hero let out a hum as he shrugged slightly. "I'll think of something-"

"Shh..." Jackson hissed out as he held his hand out. "We're here..." He stated. "Everyone duck down and creep up the mountain. Thanks to our white clothing we should blend in a lot better..."

Everyone nodded as they followed after the Vice-Captain. They crept up the mountain slowly finally reaching the top. They could now see a large Nest down towards the bottom of the mountain. The nest was a destroyed pile of waste, that had smoke rising up from it... Clearly, most of it had been destroyed... Across from them, they could see a second Mountain so close it would only take a few minutes to walk towards... It was actually more like a ma.s.sive hill... On top of it sat a large metal building.

"Is that the place?" Hero questioned curiously as he eyed it up.

"Yeah..." Jackson said nodding his head. "It's pretty close... Luckily for us, yesterday when North, Cloud, and I were all here the men had to be inside since they dropped a bomb. They probably a.s.sumed all the loud noises they heard after that were the Bestia Macht..."

"Okay... But why are they out here?" Irene questioned. "And why bomb a nest? Don't they know they are just p.i.s.sing the Bestia Machts off?"

"Well..." Jackson said shrugging. "I gave some thought to it. I think that maybe they could be trying to capture Bestia Macht's?" He said in an unsure way as he gave a shrug.

"Why would anyone capture Bestia Macht?" Irene questioned. "Also, who tries to capture things with a ma.s.sive bomb?" She asked.

"Look! It was just a thought?" Jackson said shrugging. "That's the only thing I can think of... Unless... Maybe they are trying to get rid of the Nest but I don't know why they would want to do that?" He questioned as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay... Well, what now?" Hero asked curiously.

"Well, now we are going in!" Jackson announced out.

"What do you mean?" Ken asked startled.

"I do not think, charging in is the best plan..." Cloud muttered out.

"We need to go in," Jackson stated again punching his hand. "Enough with this stealth nonsense. Squad Six is the ultimate bada.s.s squad!"

"So wait we are just gonna charge in there guns a blazing!" Kitsune questioned with wide eyes.

"I like this plan..." Hero said nodding as he smiled slightly.

"Hmm..." Jackson said humming slightly. "Yeah... It probably wouldn't be the best idea if all of us were to just run up there, now that I think about it..." He said nodding his head. "I have an even better idea!" He announced. "Hero! Take your gloves, shoes, and jacket off!"

"What! Why!"

"Because I said so!"

Hero's face dropped as he no longer liked the plan. He muttered some things out as he unzipped his jacket and took his shoes, and gloves off. His teeth began to clatter as his entire body shook from the intense cold. "I... I have second thoughts now!" He stated hissing out.

"To bad! Alright, guys. Hero and I are gonna go pay those guys a visit. You all stay here." He announced as he reached out grabbing Hero by the back of the s.h.i.+rt. "Come on Hero..."

"I hate you..."

The two slipping down the mountainside as they marched up the large hill towards the metallic building. They reached it walking towards it slowly. Loud cheering, and music could be heard blaring from inside. The entire building also smelt of thick booze...

"So what's the plan?" Hero questioned still s.h.i.+vering from the pure cold.

"Don't worry," Jackson said nodding his head. "It is a well thought out plan." The man reached out, and then knocked on the front door.

Instantly the cheering from inside stopped...

Hero turned as he gave the Vice-Captain a 'You just got us killed, you duma.s.s' look.

"What the h.e.l.l was that?" A loud gruff voice said from inside.

Jackson reached out knocking again.

"Is that a Bestia Macht?"

"Umm... Bestia Macht's don't knock..."

"Just answer the door Anga..."

"Screw you, James..."

Jackson reached out knocking again. Suddenly the door was pulled open as the two boys looked up finding an eight-foot-tall behemoth of a man staring down at them in utter confusion.

"People... What the h.e.l.l are people doing out here?"

"h.e.l.lo, good sir!" Jackson said twirling his nonexistent cane. "My name is Jackey Blight. This here is my little brother Storey Storm. Different names. Our father was a pig who cheated with multiple women. Moving on! I was just wondering if me and my little brother could come inside. You see we are joggers, and it just so happens my little brother Storey Strom, is a bit of a simpltin and he forgot his jacket, gloves, and boots! Also, he is in a lot of pain!" Jackson said reaching up and smacking Hero over the head.

"Oww! I hate this plan!" Hero said crying slightly.

The man raised an eyebrow as he stared down at Jackson with bafflement. Than. Slowly. His eyes wandered over to Hero. The man's eyes instantly widened when he took in Hero's state. "Good Lord the boy must be freezing!" The man said in utter shock. "Come in, come in!"

"Thank you, sir?!" Jackson announced as he dragged Hero inside of the nice warm building.

"Oh thank G.o.d!" Hero said letting out a breath of relief as warmth flooded through him.

"Here boy!" The man said throwing a jacket over Hero. "You need to stay warm. Especially out in the cold."

"Yes well as I said he is a bit of an idiot!" Jackson announced patting Hero on the shoulders. "Storey tell the nice scary big man thank you!"

"Thank you, sir..." Hero said as his eye twitched slightly.

"Don't mention it, kid." The man said folding his arms out. "Why the h.e.l.l are you two out here anyways?"

Hero ignored the man as he began to look around the room. Jackson meanwhile spun some tale in order to convince the guy why they were outside at this time...

The inside of the building was pretty big. Five beds could be seen lined up at the back of the wall. Besides the man who Jackson was talking to there was four other men all standing in the back. Out of them only one really stood out... A man wearing what looked like a long pair of robes, and a round hat that covered his face... The man appeared to be sleeping?

"That's quite a story." The man said holding his arms up and snapping Hero back to reality. "I'm Anga, by the way. Over there is Yang, the one doing his make up, is Seth, that stupid looking one is James-"

"Hey!" James yelled out.

"-And the one sleeping is Zero..."

"Zero!" Hero said startled. 'Why does that name sound familiar...' He wondered to himself.

"I actually have a question of my own?" Jackson said shrugging. "Why are you guys out here? I mean you guys are bombing that Nest right..." The room instantly went silent as all eyes turned to Jackson. "Did you guys know... That just a few miles from here there is a Village? Or should I say, there was a Village considering the fact that the Bestia Macht destroyed it..."

"Oh... Oh no..." Anga said sloping down. "There... There was a village nearby? We had no idea... s.h.i.+t... That means when all those Bestia Macht ran off... And here I was thinking it was our lucky day... But if what you're saying is true then... Oh no..."

"You guys really had no idea there was a Village out here?" Jackson said in surprise. 'Huh... Kind of thought these guys were gonna be evil, but so far they just seem to be idiots...'

"No..." Anga stated. "We didn't."

"We are telling the truth." The one named Yang stated. He walked up placing a hand on Anga's shoulder. "Please believe us. We had no idea that there was any kind of village nearby. If we had known we would have made sure to protect it... d.a.m.n it... I feel like such a fool now..."

"Okay..." Jackson said shrugging slightly. "I believe you guys. I usually have a knack for telling if someone is lying. Besides. I already told the village elder that I would help with the repairs. But I still have to ask. Just why the h.e.l.l are you bombing a Nest, in the first place?"

Anga, and Yang looked at each other for a second. "We want what's under the Nest..." Yang stated.

"What?"

"There is a cave system under the Nest," Anga said simply. "A deep cave system. It is a bit of a long story, but the main thing is that the nest is built over the top of an entrance to that cave, and we want to get into the cave. You see twelve years ago there was a pair of scientists out here... They were studying a formula that was supposedly going to be the holy grail of all science allowing to easily regrow even limbs... However, they, unfortunately, died out here and were buried in that cave... We want to get in so we can get that research. With it, we could solve millions of problems!"

"That sounds a little too good to be true..." Jackson said folding his arms slightly as he frowned. "I've never heard of a be, all end, all thing that didn't have some type of risk..."

"Well, we ourselves don't really know much about it, but if there is even a one percent chance shouldn't we take it just in case?" James announced out holding his arms out.

Jackson let out a sigh. "Well... I'll admit I am curious as to know what is down there... Clearly, it has to be something since the Bestia Macht built their Nest here, and they seem to want to keep people out... I suppose I could help..."

The men all looked at each other in slight confusion. "Umm... Look we appreciate the help, but do you really think you could fight a Bestia Macht?"

"Of course I can," Jackson said as he reached into his pocket. "After all... I'm an Enforcer." He stated pulling out a golden badge.

The entire room instantly froze up as they stared down at the badge.

It was as if time itself seemed to freeze. Than...

"An Enforcer..." The words came out quietly as everyone turned to stare back at Zero. The man was now wide awake. He tilted his hat up as he reached to his side holding the handle of a blade. Jackson instantly inhaled when he recognized that weapon, that armor, and that look in the man's eye...

This man was...

"Samurai..." Jackson said slowly.
