Age 1991
"I'll be bad cop, you be adorable cop-"
'Smack!'
Hero hit the ground as Ken pulled her weapon back.
"Oww..."
Ken stared at the golden gates with a small frown. Her hand came up hitting a button on the gates as a loud buzz echoed out. There was a brief moment of silence between the two Enforcers as they waited.
Finally, after a few seconds, a loud buzz came back.
'Noble Guardian Number Five-Seven-Two is my designation. Please leave the area now. This is private property-'
"We're with the Enforcers!" Ken announced loudly getting the voice to go silent. "And we demand an audience with the Noble of this household!" She said proudly.
There was a moment of silence that passed over the gate as the two kids waited patiently. 'Looks like it didn't work.' Hero thought with a small amount of glee. 'Oh well guess we will need to come back next-' A small mechanical lever popped out as what looked like a metal eye appeared staring down at the two kids.
'Please show your official Enforcer badge.'
'Oh come on...' Hero let out a sigh as he crossed his arms.
Ken reached into her pocket pulling out Dawson's golden badge. "It's a Gold Level too, so you guys have to see us in." She announced. The eye focused on the badge for a few moments before a quiet click finally echoed out.
There was a loud metal click as the golden gates began to slide open. 'Please approach the building slowly, and with caution. Do not make any threatening gestures. Please wait at the front door. Someone will let you in soon.'
"Okay... Here we go..." Hero said with a small amount of nervousness in his voice. "Let's get this over with..."
The two of them walked slowly towards the mansion in the distance.
"So what are we going to do when we get inside?" Hero questioned.
"I dunno."
"What."
"Yeah I didn't expect us to get past this gate I have no plan..." Ken stated proudly. "Just don't do anything stupid... I'll use my natural charms, and badass attitude, to work them into a false sense of security. Then I'll spring myself on them and get them to talk!"
"We're screwed."
The two of them reached the metal door to the building as they both stopped in front of it.
The two of them waited patiently as the door loomed in front of them... After a quiet moment passed over the two Enforcers they finally heard a quiet click as the door was pulled open.
A wave of heat hit the two of them head-on surprising them both. It was way hotter in there, than anywhere else in this city. A wave of thick dark smoke-fired out of the top of the chimney reaching the already black sky. A golden glow shined from the inside of the building lighting up the darkness around the two Enforcers.
A simple looking man in a basic suit stood in the doorway staring at the two kids. "You are a lot younger than I realized..." He said slowly as he raised an eyebrow at the two kids.
"We're total badasses!" Ken announced.
Hero reached out placing a hand over Ken's mouth. "What she means... Is that we are just really skilled. Like really skilled. Yeah... We are badasses! Screw it. I'm the third strongest person in the world! And she's a professional superhero!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
The man continued to stare at the two kids in pure silence. "If not for the fact that you are Enforcers with an official Golden Enforcer badge, I would have closed the door on you instantly." He said slowly. "But. My Master has decided he wanted to talk to the both of you..." He stated as a sigh escaped his lips. He turned showing them the inside of the room. "Please... Follow me. And only me. Do not wander off alone."
The two kids looked at each other for a brief second and followed after the man. They were led into a massive fancy-looking hallway that seemed to stretch on farther and farther into the room. There were several sections in the hallway that seemed to lead to other rooms. The entire building was very bright. And yet cold. Not cold in the sense that it was freezing, as the entire mansion was actually very warm, rather it was cold, as in the sense there was a deep pressure in the entire mansion. It was like being in Master Storm's office all over again, but where as the Master of all Enforcers, office was filled with a pressure of overwhelming power, and protection, this was filled with something else. A sense of danger passed over the two teens as every hair on their bodies stood on its end. What could only be described as pure coldness surrounded the entire mansion filling it with a constant chill...
It was like staring down a dangerous Bestia Macht, knowing that at any second it could rip you to shreds any moment.
The butler walked at a simple pace seemingly unaffected by it.
Hero nearly tripped as he walked as he stared around the mansion.
Ken walked with a shiver that went up her spine again and again.
"Follow after me..." The butler said in a cold tone as he marched forward.
The two teens simply followed him at a slow pace.
"You feel that too right..." Hero said quietly.
"Yes..." Ken said as she gave another shiver. "I... Just what is this?" She said quietly. "This chilling wave is even worse then what Zero was like..."
"Yeah. It is pretty-" As the three of them passed over a threshold in the mansion Hero instantly stopped as his eyes widened in horror. He placed a hand over his nose as he shook his head.
"Hero?" Ken whispered in confusion when she saw Hero freeze. The butler continued walking ahead of them seemingly not noticing the two Enforcers stop. "Hero?" Ken said again with a little more force.
"This smell..." Hero rubbed his nose as his face took on a pale look. He shook his head as he frowned. "Ken... Go on ahead while that guy doesn't notice... I got to go check on something..." He stated as he turned away and walked down a separate hallway.
"What!"
Hero ignored the young fourteen-year-old girl as he walked further into the hallway.
Ken looked left, and right with a panic before she turned and followed after the butler once more. She was now on edge even more, now that she was walking into what felt like death, by herself.
Finally, after a few minutes, they reached an end of the hallway.
"Here we- What happened to the second one."
Ken's eyes widened as she tried to think of something to say. "Uhh... What second one?"
The man stared at her before he turned and opened the door. "Master we have a problem! There is a random Enforcer exploring the mansion unsupervised-"
"Ahh, Regulus! I assume our guest is here?" A kind elderly voice said.
"Yes Master, but as I was saying one of them is running around the mansion-"
"And? It isn't as if I have anything to hide?" The elderly voice said once more followed by a chuckle.
"Sir?"
"Tell me. There is still one Enforcer right?"
"Yes, sir. She didn't vanish-"
"Send her in."
"...Yes, sir..." The butler came back opening the door. "You may enter..."
Ken walked past him entering the room. It was a large circular room with a lot of decorations and fine furniture. In the center of the room was a large wooden table. There were three people in the room. Five if you counted Ken, and the butler. A the wooden table set two men. An older man wearing a very fancy suit. He had an extremely stylish mustache. The second person was a young man with a cold look on his face. He had green hair, and wore a green suit.
The final person was a young twelve-year-old girl. She had a bored, and pissed off look on her face. Ken decided she liked her.
"Well, Okane. It seems my new guest had arrived." The older man said letting out a small laugh.
"Is that your way of telling me to leave?" The green-haired man said slowly. He spoke in a slow tone as his green eyes stared at the man across the table from him.
"I'm afraid so." The older man said giving a kind smile.
Okane let out a sigh as he stood up. "Come along Heather. It would seem we are no longer welcome here." He said simply.
"Yeah whatever..." The twelve-year-old girl said letting out a huff.
The two green-haired people walked towards the wooden door. The girl quickly left but the green-haired man stopped for a brief second.
"You... Girl... You're an Enforcer correct?"
"Umm... Yeah?" Ken said nodding her head.
"So... That means you're staying at the same hotel as me." He said. He left though before Ken could give an answer.
"Come in, come in!" The older man said waving his hand at Ken. "Please have a seat." Ken walked into the room slowly taking a seat at the table as she stared at the older man in mild confusion. "Regulus! Please go find that second Enforcer and lead him back here." The butler gave a bow and walked out the door. Finally, the man turned to Ken once more. "Hello! My name is Sirius Báthory. My family owns this city."
"H...Hello. My name is Ken... I'm an Enforcer." Ken said slowly.
"Well, Enforcer Ken... What can I do for you?"
