Enforcers 142 Ken's Strange Power

"Hero Otoko... You really are a fool..."

"You know. You say that a lot." Hero said sheepishly as he gave a slight smile. He turned away from the ma.s.sive flying lab coat as he set down in the red water allowing it to wash over the white suit he was in. "So I guess I'm stuck here until I'm done healing?"

"Yes. Then your body will be taken over, you'll become a monster no better than the Bestia Macht, go on a rampage, kill all your friends, as well as several innocent civilians, then be put down by a powerful Enforcer."

"Will you stop with that?"

"No! You are taking this too lightly."

Hero gave a small shrug as he stared down at his hands. The white suit seemed to move around him for a second as he stared down at it. "I'm just not afraid of it taking me over. Is that so strange?"

"Yes!"

Hero let out a small laugh. "Yeah. I guess it is weird huh? I bet most Seraphin's are afraid of it? I just don't feel threatened. Even if it attacks me. I know I'll win. I have to."

"Foolish boy-"

"Boring Lab Coat."

Labby seemed to let out a sigh. "Do you even know if you can beat those guys?"

"What?"

"Even if you somehow don't let the form take you over. Do you actually believe that you can beat those two?"

"I haven't actually thought that far ahead-"

"Stupid!"

"Sorry! But... Honestly. I don't know. I don't think I have the power to beat them." Hero rubbed at his arm awkwardly as he was silent. "I didn't get a good judge on them, but they seemed strong. Like around Jackson, or Dawson's level. I probably can't beat them if we fight."

"Then why are you doing this! If you see how hopeless it is! Of you see that you don't stand a chance?"

"Well. I got to at least try right?"

The lab coat was silent as it stared down at the boy. "I really... Really... Really... Despise you."

Meanwhile in the real world...

"Ha!" Ken charged forward her sword coming out and connecting with the two blades of the other man. The two danced around red slamming into green. 

The man let out a grunt of displeasure as he sliced out with both blades cutting through the air but the girl ducked her head avoiding the blow as it sliced over her. 

'She's gotten faster...' The man thought. More red energy came off of Ken as she slammed her blade down sending out a shock wave. Her leg came out faster then the man could react as it slammed into his side launching him away. Red energy crackled off of Ken as she gave a slight smirk. 'I take it back.' The man thought standing back up. 'She didn't get faster. She is getting faster... Every second her strike come out quicker than before with far more power. This girl? Is she a Seraphin. No. I've never even seen a Seraphin improve this quick. What the h.e.l.l is she-'

"Red Flas.h.!.+" Ken announced slicing her blade down as a crimson wave of red flew out.

The man's eyes widened as the red blast flew towards him. "What!"

'Boom!'

A bright red flash echoed out covering the buildings and knocking them down. 

"Whoa. She's cool." Heather said with wide eyes.

"I had no idea Ken was this strong!" Sera said in shock. "How? Why? What? Is she a n.o.ble or something? No. I've never seen a n.o.ble with her kind of Attribute?"

"Should we be helping?" Heather asked slowly watching the girl.

"Do you think we would be any help?"

"...Probably not..."

"Good girl." Sera placed a hand on the smaller girl's head rubbing it.

"Please stop."

Over with Ken, the girl was breathing heavily as she let out a small hiss of pain. "That last attack really hurt my hands. My blade is still vibrating front it... I think the skin on my palms is gone?"

The man flew out of the smoke cloud his cloak on fire as he threw it off of him. He swung his sword out as the blades flew off sliding through the air.

Ken raised her blade up blocking the strikes as her feet dug into the ground and she was pushed back. 

A small amount of blood trickled down her hands as all of her fingernails had shattered with that last attack. Her hands had become a dark shade of purple and wouldn't stop shaking. 

'I think I broke my hands?' Ken thought with a frown as she deflected the attack. 'This really hurts.'

The blades flew back reforming into green swords as more coins began to spin through the air. The man cut out with his green blades once more barely missing the girl as they sliced over her. 

"What are you!" He yelled moving even faster. "To think a small fourteen-year-old girl is able to actually make me give it my 100% in my base form! You aren't human!" His hands came out faster and faster but each slice was easily blocked by Ken as her aura grew even large and a dangerous glint formed in her eyes.

"Did you just call me short!" 

'Boom!'

Ken literally punched the air so hard she created a ma.s.sive explosion the blew the man back once more as the wind was kicked up.

Over with the other Organization member, he was watching the fight with a large frown on his face that couldn't be seen due to his mask. 

"He's actually losing to this girl?" Kaen asked with a small hiss. "How pathetic. And to think he calls himself my partner..." The man continued to power the machine as he watched the fight continue. "Oh well. At this point, we've won. This city is done for. Everyone else is either dead, or leaving the city. Our group has succeeded. After today the whole Country of Red will know of our group..." 

Ken stabbed her sword forward bringing it up and sending off a wave of red energy once again.

The man dodged the attack as it split the building behind him in half. Both his blades came out as they began to s.h.i.+ft and get larger. More coins flew into them as he changed them to ma.s.sive greatswords. 

"This is it girl!" He announced loudly as he threw both blades into the air. They flipped through the air vibrating faster and faster. "Behold. The Equation Of Life."

"What?"

The man placed his hands together as a white aura came over his body.

"Uh Oh-" Ken began but was stopped when a flash of light slammed into her face. She was launched back slamming into a metal building and leaving a large dent in it as she fell to the ground landing on her knees. A large red handprint was on her face as her eyes were wide and she reached up placing a hand on her cheek. "Did he just slap me? More importantly my neck... That almost snapped it. I didn't even see his hand move?"

"You're finished." The man held his hands out as he caught both of his swords. "There is nothing now. Without Mantra you won't beat me." He said slowly. He walked forward towards the girl as he raised his blades up. "But. You seem to adapt quickly. I'll kill you right here and now so that you don't have time to improve past your limits." He said simply raising his blade up.

Ken's eyes widened as he sliced the blades down-

A ma.s.sive wave of crystals, and a whip made of water, both flew through the air hitting the man on all sides.

He slapped at the air knocking the water and crystals back with the sheer force of the slap. 

"Right." He said slowly. "I forgot about you two." He sighed out turning to see Heather, and Sera both holding their arms out ready to attack him.

"That was your biggest mistake!" Sera announced. 

"Was it?" The man appeared past them as the n.o.ble girl was thrown in the air cras.h.i.+ng into the ground with a painful thud.

"He's so fast!" Ken said shocked. "How? His Attribute doesn't give him any speed? At least I don't think it does?"

"Oh, it does." The man said casually turning his body. Heather's crystals slammed into him and instantly broke as he walked through the attack. "I told you. You can't beat me once I have this Aura on. Mantra. Just activating it is a ma.s.sive boost to all my stats, and my Attribute. I can boost it even further thanks to the Ero's." He Announced loudly. "You can not win. Mantra is the Equation Of Life. I am G.o.dlike, while I am like this."

"G.o.dlike-" A wave of water hit the man from behind as he stumbled slightly. "Yeah right." Sera was getting back up. She looked really hurt. 'From one attack? How is Ken still standing after a direct hit to the head?' The girl held her arm up once again forming her water whip. "I told you! None of us are giving up!" She announced.

The man gave a small shake of the head as he turned to her. "So be it."
