Chapter 158 - Being Back

Age 1991

Hero jumped out of the train as he let out a loud yell up towards the sky making everyone jump.

"I! Am! Back!" He announced loudly jumping out of the train and landing on the stone station in Dandelion city. "And! Now! I! Am! A! Enforcer!" He screamed using his powers to make his voice carry even further just so the entire city could hear him, since he's a jerk.

"Oh, God... It's that one brat..." Someone muttered when they saw Hero land on the ground.

"I knew he would come back..."

"Why!"

"Mommy that man scares me!"

"He's still unsylish. Hey you think a white tracksuit, is stylish!" They yelled out.

Hero's eye twitched as he turned away. "You guys suck."

"Are you an actual Enforcer? Or are you just yelling crazy stuff again?"

Hero gave a loud laugh placing his hands on his h.i.p.s. "It's so good to be back home!" He announced looking around. Hero spun slightly as he stared around. "I need to go check out my old workplace again!" He yelled out running forward. 

Hero rushed down the streets at a fast speed as he looked around.

Several people all stared at him in shock as he was a massive blur. 

Finally, he stopped in front of a small store. "Here we go..." The silver-eyed, black and white-haired, Seraphin announced. He reached out placing his hand on the door. "This is where it all started." Hero said giving a smile. "Where I first worked, after I left my Grandfather, and where I first fought Ben. This is where I became an Enforcer!" He stated pushing the door open.

"Hero?" A familiar voice asked. 

Hero looked up seeing a frog looking man. A normal human, and like most normal humans on Ava, he was built like a toad, trying to be a frog. He had a confused look on his face as he stared at the Seraphin who barged in. 

"Hero!" He said again but this time with some fear. "Shit! You're back!"

"Hey, Mr. Shop Keeper!" Hero laughed throwing his hands behind his head as he marched in. He grabbed a chair spinning it around and plopping down. "I see you got your shop back!"

"...Yeah..." The man said with a frown as he inched away. "I managed to rebuild it with my life savings..."

"That's cool!"

"Please don't break it..."

Hero laughed again throwing his arms behind his head again as he shrugged. "Why would I destroy it?" He questioned.

"Wait a minute... You think I'm a villain!" Hero yelled pointing at the man. "Why I never... I'm an Enforcer."

"What! You actually became an Enforcer?" The Shop Keeper said in shock. "Wait? Really? Like seriously?"

"Yep!" Hero announced proudly. "And holy crap did a ton of stuff happen." He sighed out.

"Really? Like what?"

"Well for starters. I had to go to Oleander city. There I met a ton of people, like Max, Ken, Kitsune, Irene, Cloud, Emma, Sera. I met a ton of people basically. They're pretty strong. Ken, and Kitsune are the strongest."

"Kitsune... Kitsune... Kitsune Nine?"

"Yep!"

"Wow. You met a Noble?"

"Yep."

"That's amazing."

"We had to do a lot of crazy stuff to get on the Enforcers. Like we had to do a weird test. Then we had to do a lot of exercises. After that, we had to fight each other. I beat a lot of people up. Then I joined Squad Six."

"Wow. That's pretty amazing. So you actually became a real Squad Member. How was your first mission?"

"It sucked! Ken, had to pick a fight with our Vice-Captain and he let her pick the mission. It sucked. At first, we had to fight a ton of Bestia Macht. Then we had to fight even more. Also, there was this Witch at one point but she wasn't actually a Witch. Then we found this group that was causing a lot of problems. One of them was even a Samurai. He was cool. We ended up going down into the Nest. It sucked... Then we found this orange crystal that turns people into monsters. We fought it, lost, but then we won. After that, the Samurai became a monster. It was a massive battle but we ended up beating him. It was sad..."

"That's certainly a story..." The man said nodding his head. "I can't believe you went through all that?"

"Well, it's all true." Hero laughed shrugging. 

"...Wow..."

"My second mission was even worse."

"What was it?" The Shop Keeper asked with a frown as he folded his arms. He seemed to fully drawn into the stories now. It wasn't every day you got to listen to an Enforcer. Either that or Hero had been going through one hell of a drug trip. 

"Well basically after we got back we ended up doing some crazy training." Hero nodded. "After that we went on a mission splitting up. I worked with Dawson, Sif, Ken, Nick, and Sera." He stated. "We went to this rely crappy city. A lot of crazy stuff happened. People died there."

"That's awful!"

"Yeah. It was." Hero agreed. "Well. There was this skeleton guy I couldn't beat. These robots, I couldn't beat. This giant guy I couldn't beat. And this green money guy I couldn't beat. Also, a fire guy, who I couldn't beat. Oh, also I destroyed the city..."

"Wow, you suck..."

"Yep!" Hero announced placing his hands on his h.i.p.s. "So anyways. We lost. A lot." Hero went silent as he hummed. "And... And now I'm back here."

"Why'd you come back?"

Hero stopped as he stared back out at the window. "Well. It's complicated."

"Got it."

"What you don't wanna learn more?"

"Nah."

"Oh?"

"Anyways kid. It's been good seeing you again. But please leave."

Hero let out a laugh as he turned away. "Well, I guess I'll leave. Later!" Hero yelled walking off. The teen let out a sigh as be stared ahead out towards the city. 

"Stop standing in my doorway!" The man yelled out. 

Hero rolled his eyes as he walked forward. "Well. Let's get this mission started..."
