Zen slowly drifts into consciousness with a shaky mind.
Vroom!!
The tank vehicle speeds up on the cluster road.
He slowly opens his eyes, only to see himself inside of what resembles a heavy reinforced modern tank vehicle.
Inside the vehicle sits the five figures from the canyon, all looking as menacing as ever.
The interior of the vehicle is posh and wide, with comfortable seats and good flooring decor.
And in front of the five figures, a heavy casing of metal holds Zen.
He is left with no space to breathe as even his mouth is covered in a weird metal tech mouth guard. Leaving him with no chance of conversation.
Looking around he spots the short boy with purple hair at the back sit, next to the quiet man, and he is sure he killed him.
I mean no one crushes through rocks and survives, he even saw him in a sorry state.
*So how, how is he still alive and healthy, not even a scratch on him*, Zen ponders staring at him. And none of the others seemed to be bothered about this.
The purple haired kid just stares at him with an intriguing look.
"Wait a minute, I'm still alive!!. This people didn't kill me, could they need me for another purpose or are they good guys after all.
"Come to think of it, I was the one that landed in their planet first, so it's logical for them to detain me right", Zen only gets more confused.
"Ahh forget it, I've never been a smart one, maybe this is my second chance to change my life, to live the life I've always wanted, to be who I always wanted to be", he smiles historically.
Screech!!
The vehicle and the escorts, come to a halt in front of a grand sky craper, underground parking lot, after entering through an even larger gate.
Around the vicinity, the same type of guards Zen fought with outside the continent, were mounted at every corner of the vast compound. The only difference is that this one's have a more imposing divine armour.
The sky craper stands grand, full of lavish decorations and the same techy lay lines, designs the building from top to bottom beautifully.
The door of the tank opens and Zen is dragged down by the tires mounted at the bottom of the metal cast prison confining him.
He feels pain and groans from it, realizing that his right hand is back.
*Wait it's back, my right arm*, Zen is dumfounded as he squeezes his palm inside the confinement to confirm, and it really is connected back as normal.
"How could this be", he wonders, but decides to forget about it since thinking will never get him anywhere.
"I have to know more about this world, and this new body", Zen steels his resolve as a guard pushes him from behind, while the five imposing figures stroll along.
After walking for a while through twists and turns, they take an elevator straight to the grand top floor.
The top floor is an entire room of gold, with golden structures of animals such as bears, antelopes, eagle's and many more. At the far end of the room sits a magnificent throne and at the center a large table for divine sacrifices to a god.
On the throne sits a figure, a man with a round calm face, thick short black hair, and golden eyes. He wears a three piece black suit and a matching trouser with shoes, and holds nothing else grand suprisenly making people wonder why he still looks so imposing and powerful.
He probably is!!
They stop a few distance from the throne with Zen in front and the rest line up at the right side of the room.
Greetings Mr president!!
All except the hero In cape rings out.
The president just stares intensely at Zen, while walking down to him majestically.
"Hmm, I like him, he will join your Extort force team Mr X", the president voices a command.
What!!
For some reason that sentence struck a nerve in Zen. It reminded him of the life he lived before being reincarnated into this world, everyone always commanded him and decided his life for him. How could he still let that happen in this new world, Never!!, he became enraged.
I don't take orders from no one!!, the seemly quiet zen rages in anger, feeling power coursing through his veins, he squeezes his right arm, and after a strip of blue lightning the entire metal confinement shatters, then shatters into smaller parts again displaying his power.
Then he takes a step forward.
Boom!!
The top floor walls shatter, sending debris everywhere, then it shatters more into smaller pieces and once more the remaining particles shatter into nothingness.
This genuinely suprises everyone, they all knew he was strong but not this strong. If only he knew what the walls of this skyscraper was made of, that he shattered it so easily.
"Hahaha, that man is always right", the president laughs heavily. Then an overwhelming vibe suddenly pressures the room.
"YOU WILL JION THE EXTORT FORCE TEAM:CODE RED, AND YOUR CODE NAME IS POWER!!." the president announces.
"Mind you, your code name is your new name, and under no circumstances are you to reveal your birth name to anyone, that is the rules of the Judiaece continent", the president says while walking back to his throne.
"How-how did you know I was coming and why didn't you kill me", Zen asks saddened.
Hearing this, the president looks over his shoulder at Zen.
"Let's just say we have a hero that can see into the future, of course this information is private, so telling any soul will result in your death. I won't stop you from doing what you want, but I need you to first feel what's it's like being a hero and if you aren't satisfied then we will just dispose of you. He says something so cold rather calmly.
Welcome Power to the "BUREAU OF HEROES"
And for your second question, let's just say this.
"A war is coming, the tides are changing, we need all the force we can get, and you're a chosen one Power."
They will get you settled in and tell you all you need to know, get to know the team, their a lot nicer than they appear. The president adds before looking forward again and snapping his fingers.
Snap!!
Zen and his new team mates, teleport into a parked land cruiser Prado vehicle outside in the next second. Then the driver starts the engine and drives off out the premises as if people teleporting into vehicles here was a normal thing.
Vroom!!
The escort vehicles follow suite, and along the way children can be seen waving at the jeep, seeing the insigma of the rat chumping on the whale at the side of the jeep, they know it's an extort force group. But suprisenly the parents of the children drag them away as if afraid of being outside their homes.
Seeing this Mr X just shrugs.
Now sitting down at the back in between the short kid and the quiet guy, Zen gets in thought.
Like the president said, this is a chance for me, and at first I was going to use this new abilities of mine to commit crimes. But now I know they are actually heroes and they still let me live and offered for me to jion them in keeping the country safe after killing one of their own.
"I will try my best to be a strong hero as I get to know this world, I will protect the innocent citizens from villains", Zen resolves his goal.
The jeeps stroll into an airport and after a few hours of flight they land in a country named Judiaece. Then drive for a few more hours to an urban area, away from the techy city, to a magnificent hero base.
It's a large red urban beany complex design, In a large compound, full with other sub buildings, And inside is even more confusing with it's white maze-like structure. It has four large floors.
Entering the base, the short purple haired kid pats Zens shoulder and announces arrogantly, "hey newbie I'll teach you everything you need to know, so you better be grateful", he says with a large smile which creeps Zen out.
Seeing this the others just roll their eyes or pats their face In disappointment.
"I'm Apple, the short kid tells him, come I'll give you a tour. He shows Zen all around the facility from the dining to the kitchen, training halls, vents, garages, rooms, secret compartments and the meeting room, and outside, The garden, visitors lodges, security offices and many more.
Of course he mocked Zen here and there during the tour, making him look like a country bumpkin, and arrogantly showing of the expensive items and achievement he has contributed to the force since joining.
Showing Zen his own room on the third floor of the building next to all their rooms, he tells him to get changed and come down for dinner in five minutes.
Leaving him along to get used to his room, Zen stares at the reflection of himself in the mirror, it is the first time he is seeing how his new body looks.
He is reincarnated into a body of 5.7 feet tall, with yellow hair that has lemon patches, rainbow coloured eyes and pink lips. He is a teenager of eighteen years with muscular physique and a innocent but handsome face.
He wears a gray short which has thick yellow stripe at each sides, which Zen pulls down, sagging it as he is used to the streets he is more comfortable with his black boxers and his cool skeleton bad boy belt showing as it makes him more cool in his opinion and boosts his confidence.
For the top he wears a yellow shortsleeve tank top and a gray hoodie which has thick yellow stripes on both arms matching the gray shorts.
The material of his clothing does not have an earthly feeling as it has a silicon smooth feeling looking futuristic and otherworldly.
"It may have hidden properties", Zen is satisfied with his new sturdy and powerful body, as he finally notices a futuristic circular air pod in both his ears.
"I'm not gonna touch that, who knows what harm it will cause to me", Zen decides it's best not to temper with it, he already has super hearing and the airpod is very stylish.
"Am sure the president has covered all the damage I caused for me", Zen hopes as he decides not to change this beautiful clothes and goes down stairs to eat.
Upon reaching the dinning, the shy-looking holy maiden girl, suddenly grabs his tank top and stamps something at the center with a weird hand held machine which stuns him.
She imprints their insigma on his tank top, officially signifying him as one of them. The device has a wooden olden style handle with a wide circular retro mouth.
Just then two maids come in elegantly and serve various dishes. While Apple introduces the team members to Zen.
•This is Stream, Apple points at the holy maiden girl, introducing her, "she doesn't talk much, don't force her", he adds.
•And this is shadow, he points to the mature scary woman, don't worry about her looks she's lovely.
•Zen this is Fire, he gestures at the quiet guy with the sword sheath. You already know Mr X, so I'll skip introductions.
•There is one more named guy named Gillard, don't steer up trouble with that one, haha, you wouldn't like it.
"And that's all the core members, WELCOME TO EXTORT FORCE:CODE RED
POWER, I am your senior member so you must do what I say or you'll regret it shorty.
Apple returns back to his arrogant and prideful self after the wholesome moment that lasted only a few seconds.
"A NEW CASE OF MUTILATION JUST OCCURED WE MUST GO AT ONCE!!", A nerdy voice coming from the stairs rings out interrupting their eating!!
