Chapter 108 - Arriving At Dandelion

Age 1991

"Ahh, this so boring!" Kitsune whined crossing his arms as the train slowly moved down the tracks. "We've been on this train for almost two days now..." He sighed.

"Relax..." Irene said also letting out a sigh.

The second group of Squad Six and Squad Seven hadn't even reached their destination. Arguably they were doing better than the other group...

This group consisted of Kitsune, Irene, Cloud, Emma, Lucy, Hannah, Jackson, and finally the leader of this group Katrina.

"Quit complaining," Cloud said simply as he folded his arms. "The other group is in a much worse position than we are. I feel so sorry for my Big Brother, and Ken. And poor Dawson having to baby sit them both. Poor bastard. Bet they have already done something stupid. If I had to guess who would act first I'd say... Ken. Then again my Big Brother isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed."

"What Cloud is saying, is that you shouldn't complain so much." Irene said slowly pulling out a small brown book. "You could have it much worse."

"Yeah..." Kitsune said letting out a small sigh as he folded his arms. "You're probably right North... Still though..." He said sighing as he shook his head. "This is so boring... I wish something would happen."

"It's not so bad." Emma laughed. "We could always fight!"

"Is that all you care about?"

"It is." Lucy stated, speaking up for the first time. "She only uses me to carry her stuff." She raised up her brife case showing them. "She can be pretty mean."

"Hey!"

Over at the front of the train, Katrina gave a smile as she watched the five kids. "You know." She said quietly. "He's just like you, when you were a kid-"

"You take that insult back!" Jackson said standing up.

"What?" Katrina said giving another smile. "You don't like him?"

"You know I don't..." Jackson muttered. He gave a small frown. "He's such a fanboy... A hotheaded Noble. A coward. Someone who is running away for some reason." Jackson gave another shrug as he let out a tiny laugh. "Him being like me really scares me." He stated.

"Because deep down you know he can be better than you?"

"Hell no!" Jackson announced. "Because... Because I know he's going to hurt himself trying to become better than me." He stated folding his arms. "I met Jin once. The guy was kind of creepy. I can't belive he's really gone."

"He died in Dandelion. Poor city has been torn down so many times..." Katrina sighed. "Being an Enforcer is like a curse... But Kitsune. That boy isn't so bad. He really is a lot like you. He might have a few problomes with a c.o.c.ky nature, and fanboying all over the place but still. His heart is in the right place."

"The kid is pretty cool." Hannha said giving a nod. "Strong too! Hell of a fire Attribute. And that North boy. They got some serious power behind them as well. Shame they have shit reaction time."

"Yeah... I've been working on that." Jackson said nodding.

"How so?"

"I hide behind corners and then jump out and throw a wrench at them as hard as I can." He said shrugging. "They haven't dodged it yet... I also think they hate me now..."

"Geez..." 

"Might have gone a little overbored..."

Before either of the three grown up Enforcers could say anything else though they were stopped by a loud screech as the train began to come to a stop.

"Finally!" The voice of Kitsune announced from the back. "I can finally get off of this damn train! Come on Cloud! Let's go train or something! I'm itching for a fight!"

"Well..." Katrina said giving a small smirk. "Looks like we've arrived..."

Jackson stared out at the city as he folded his arms. A small smile found its way onto his face as he let out a sigh. "Let's get this over with."
