Enforcers 38 Buying Time

Jackson let out a heavy sigh as he slid down the mountain and towards his really beat up recruits. "Hey, guys..." He called out waving. "How'd your fight go?"

"We killed a Viscount..." Irene said simply letting out pained breaths.

"A Viscount?" Jackson said in shock. "That is pretty incredible! When I was your age me and Dawson teaming up couldn't take down a Viscount after being in the Enforcers for a year. You guys really are strong!" He stated smirking slightly.

"I don't feel strong..." Cloud sighed out. "Plus..." He reached down pulling his broken cane up. "My eyes are broken now..." He stated tossing his metal cane a few feet away from him. He gave a salty look as he crossed his arms.

"Don't worry... We can get you a new one." Jackson stated. "Now come on. I'm ready to head back. My body is freezing..." He stated shivering since he no longer had a jacket or shirt, after his big battle... "Besides. We saw that horde heading back to the Village. I'm sure it'll be nothing but we should head back to look at it just in case. Plus I bet the three of them are bored out of their minds and just begging for us to return!"

Meanwhile...

"Oh, God! Please hurry up and get back Jackson!" Ken screamed out.

"Man! It's really amazing how not bored we are!" Hero shouted out.

"We're gonna die!" Kitsune cried out.

'Earl's are said to be one of the most deadliest creatures for new recruits... Unlike Viscount and below Earl's and every class above, all posses unique powers similar to the Attributes humans have. This is because like Humans they gain their abilities from the same source... The Equation of all living Life...'

"Damn it..." Ken cursed out as she punched a hole through a house out of frustration. "We have to fight this thing! For real? Why? Why is that a thing!"

"It appears that way..." Hero said nodding his head. "Well, it was nice knowing you guys! I hope you all wrote your wills... Emma is gonna be very happy when she sees what I left her."

"We're fucked..." Kitsune stated slowly. "Enforcers for less than a month and we die? God damn... We suck?"

The Earl let out a massive roar scaring the three humans in front of it. The entire thing stood at nearly eighteen feet tall, was thirty feet long, and was nearly twelve feet wide. Its entire body sparkled as light came off of it. It was covered in several billions of these tiny, tiny, sparkly scales that caused the light to bend around it. It stood on four very powerful legs, with massive claws coming out of its paws... From its back, two several large spikes could be seen. The entire creature was massive yet slim... A yellow pair of eyes glowed from the creature as red electricity sparked from the monster's mouth. A wave of power soared from the creature as it stomped forward.

"So..." Hero stated calmly. "This is where it ends..."

"Well I would say it was nice knowing you guys, but I am not a liar so..." Kitsune said equally as calm, now that he has accepted his fate.

"Will you two idiots shut up!" Ken yelled out waving her arms around. "Jackson would have seen the horde heading towards us. He's probably heading back right now as we speak! We just need to buy him some time so he can get here and help out. Besides. It's just a single Bestia Macht? How strong could it really be?"

"Well an Earl is supposed to be able to nuke a city in a matter of seconds and we are only in a village so... I don't like our options..." Kitsune stated.

"It doesn't matter," Ken said pointing her sheathed blade at the massive monster. "Enforcers don't get to choose their battles."

"She's right..." Hero said nodding. "We're gonna have to hold this thing off... Let's hope it isn't too bad. Knock on wood..." He said knocking on one of the few buildings that were still standing.

"Well, we're about to find out because here it comes!" Kitsune shouted as the beast suddenly fired forward at a speed rivaled only by lightning.

The three Enforcers only managed to dodge by the hairs of their teeth, just barely avoiding a large swipe from the beast! The paw of the monster easily split a large house stright in half, as all three of the recruits slid back as they got ready to battle the massive beast.

Hero threw out a punch as he sucked in the air inflating his fist and causing it to bounce off of a wall and into the side of the monster. The beast simply ignored the strike as its paw shot out viscously backhanding Hero away, and across the village causing the teen to slam straight through several buildings as he rolled in a way that defied gravity as he flew back.

Ken brought her sheathed blade down on top of the creature's paw! The Earl didn't seem to care about the weak attack as red energy crackled off of the girl. Ken let out a yell of pain as the energy took shape around her now beginning to look like red strings as it twisted around and threw her flying into the air.

Kitsune threw out a powerful flamming punch but the creature twisted its body-slamming it's tail into the boy's side and hitting him so hard he was lifted off of the ground and chucked straight into the stone building, causing the entire building to shake. Kitsune fell off of the wall of the building as he hit the ground slumping down.

"Is anyone else getting memories of Dawson..." Hero questioned as he weakly stood up and letting out a pained cough.

"We've only just started fighting this thing and I already regret all my life choices..." Ken hissed out in pain.

"Why did you guys get to crash into soft snow..." Kitsune coughed out as he was slumped up against the stone wall he had slammed into. "God... I think I broke every bone..." He said spitting up some blood. "I think I'm dying..."

"Damn it..." Hero sighed out as he finally got back to his feet. "Maybe if we were all at full strength we might be able to at least fight it, but I can barely move my right arm..."

"I know what you mean..." Ken said staring down at her hands. Both of them were shaking violently. "After using my Red-Flash, the force caused my hands to shake and they haven't stopped..."

"And I am just exhausted after using mine..." Kitsune said sighing out.

All three of the Enforcers finally got back to their feet. The Earl let out a massive roar that shook the ground as its paw came out slamming straight into another building and knocking it over. By now most of the village was destroyed, with only a hand few of buildings even still standing... All the remaining civilians had either been knocked out in the first attack, or was currently in the chapel. Thankfully none were dead...

The Earl let out another loud roar as it raised its fist up. Then for some unexplained bizarre reason, the monster suddenly started attacking the garden?

The beast slammed both its paws down on the dirt ripped into it and pulling the vegetables out? It attacked all of the plants as if they were a threat to it?

"Anyone know why it feels the need to slay the unnatural vegetables?" Kitsune questioned.

"No clue..." Ken said.

"I've stopped thinking about how weird everything is a while ago..." Hero said casually.

"We need to end this thing now..." Ken yelled out. "Before anyone else gets hurt..."

The three charged at the beast as they got ready to continue their attack. Hero jumped up slamming his foot down on the monster's head, while Ken slammed her sword down the nose of the monster, Kitsune threw out another flamming punch, all three of their attacks bounced off of the monster harmlessly.

It let out a massive roar that shook the village as it spun around at a rapid speed. Suddenly it balled up and began to rapidly spin. The small amount of light from the torches danced around its body as the light bent around the creature turning it invisible. The only thing viable was a bright flash of yellow and red.

"That can't be good!" Kitsune yelled out in shock.

"Give us a break!" Ken yelled out. "A monster that can go invisible is not fair!"

The ground was suddenly ripped apart as the creature seemed to roll across the village now as a massive spinning ball of invisible death. The thing rapidly spun around ripping through another building as the wind ripped around it. The only thing that could be seen was a red energy that crackled around it, and the ground that would be torn up.

A powerful force suddenly slammed into Hero, and Ken as the two were thrown in a large circle hitting the floor and rolling back. The two let out loud yells of pain as they were slammed straight into the ground.

The invisible spinning ball left a large trail as it suddenly circled around slamming straight into Kitsune now. The boy was swept up by a wind current which launched him nearly forty feet in the air as the boy spun mid-air falling towards the ground at a crazy speed. He hit the ground hard enough to actually sink through the snow...

"We need to stop it from spinning!" Hero called out.

"Really! Oh boy, we couldn't think of that!" Ken said sarcastically as she stood up wobbling slightly from her injuries. "Now how about an actual plan..." She hissed out.

"Well... I do have an idea." Hero said. "I can try to stop it with my Big-Arm-Strike since that attack is bigger, and has more power than my Monster-Arm attack. When it stops you and Kitsune need to hit it as hard as you can taking it out in one shot." He stated. "The only problem is..."

"Is?" Ken questioned as she watched the ground be torn apart from an invisible ball of spinning death.

"Well, I haven't really adjusted very well to expanding and compressing at the same time. When I did it on my right arm I completely ripped apart every muscle in my arm..." Hero stated. "You guys will only have one shot, okay?"

"Here that Fox boy?" Ken questioned as she brought her sword up. "Don't miss..."

"I was just about to tell you the same thing..." Kitsune said smirking slightly.

"Well get ready because here it comes!" Hero yelled out as the spinning ball got closer, and closer to them. Hero brought his left arm back as he charged forward as fast as he could. 'I need to watch the snow!' Hero thought as he ran. 'It leaves a large mark in the ground as it charges...' Hero's silver eyes lit up as he spotted the wave of torn-up ground that came at him. 'Now!' Hero jumped into the air pulling his left arm back. He sucked in the air as his arm grew. It bloated up as he suddenly condensed it down. Then! "Big-Arm-Strike!" Hero announced throwing out his now bus-sized fist as hard as he could towards the monster.

'Boom!'

A massive sonic boom exploded out as Hero's fist slammed into the Earl clashing with it as a sound wave around them popped. The shimmering light exploded around the Earl as the two clashed. A wave of air surrounded both of them as the sound barrier popped. The Earl let out a loud yell as Hero's massive hand closed around the Earl as he simply grabbed the monster wrapping his hand around them. He used all of his power slamming the monster straight into the ground as his arm shrunk back and the force was strong enough to throw Hero into the air sending him flying back.

"Now!" Hero screamed out as he was blown away.

"Red-Flash!" Ken yelled out slamming her blade down as a massive red slash of energy fired out towards the beast ripping the air.

Kitsune brought both his hands up as an orange ball of light fired out. "Foxes-Flare!" He shouted out as a massive beam of fire exploded out of his hands!

The two attacks met creating a massive shock wave that caused every building that wasn't made of stone to fly into the air. So basically all but one...

A dust cloud of snow exploded up into the air reaching up to a hundred feet in height as a massive tornado of wind was created.

The Earl let out a massive howl of pain as the two attacks washed over it! The red energy cut into it and the beam of fire burned it.

Hero hit the ground, breaking out into a roll as he slammed into the stone building so hard he left a massive crack in the building. "Ouch..." He hissed slightly as he jumped back up to his feet. Both his left, and right arm dangled at his side uselessly. "I am in so much pain..." He sighed out.

"Yeah... I can't do that again." Kitsune sighed out as he fell to his knees. "That was the last of my energy..." He stated as the flames around him suddenly vanished. "My whole body feels like jelly."

"I know what you mean." Ken gasped out stabbing her sword into the ground. Her hands were shaking badly now. Vibrations rang through them both as she hissed out. "I feel like if I let go I'll fall over... The entire world is spinning... Let's not do that again..." She said as her eyes became a swirl and she wobbled.

"It seems like our attack worked at least..." Kitsune stated. "Good thing too since I don't think any of us could have-"

'Smack!'

The Earl's tail flew through the air smashing into Kitsune and throwing the boy back. The Earl let out a massive roar as blood-soaked down its body. It was blistered and burnt and looked pissed. Extremely pissed...

The Earl charged forward jumping through the air and towards Hero. The teen raised his eyes as the beast flew through the air and towards him...

Hero felt a force tackle him to the ground as Maudite suddenly appeared knocking him to the ground as she pushed her self down causing the monster to fly over the two of then.

"Maudite! What are you doing here?" Hero questioned?

"Saving you!" The girl screamed out in a panic as fear shinned in her eyes.

The Earl crashed into the stone building shaking it as it turned its body. It let out a massive roar as it stared at the two. Then faster than either of them could react it slammed its fist down on top of the two humans.

Hero screamed out in pain as Maudite stared in shock. Hero stood in front of the twelve-year-old girl holding both his useless and broken arms out as the monster slammed into him. His knees buckled as he almost fell over but caught himself. The monster hit him again causing him to buckled back and knock Maudite to the ground. Hero fell over the girl onto his knees and tried to hold himself up with his arms as he continued to shield her with his body.

"Hero! Maudite!" Ken screamed out as she watched the monster pound her two friends into the ground over and over again. Every hit caused Hero to scream out but he refused to move still shielding Maudite.

"Damn it..." Kitsune coughed out as he tried to get to his feet. "We need to stop it..." He raised his hands up trying to start his Attribute, but nothing happened. He collapsed down to his knees as he grabbed his side. "I... I can't anymore. I'm all out of energy." He gasped out as his tails, and ears vanished. "I can barely stay conscious..."

Ken raised her weapon but slipped forward falling down. "I... I can't stand up..." She gasped out as she tried her best to get to her feet. Her entire body was shaking and the world looked like it was in a constant motion.

The Earl let out a loud yell as it raised its fist up and dropped it back down onto the two teens who screamed out in pain once again as Hero was slammed down into Maudite hurting the girl. The Earl lifted its fist for the third time as it let out a loud ear-splitting growl.

Hero pulled his body over the girl again as he raised himself up above her shielding her from each strike. Hero let out a yell of pain as the fist slammed straight into his back. His knees bucked slightly but he managed to jump back to his feet. "MMaudite! You- You need to run while he's focused on-" Hero let out another yell as he feet sunk into the snow. Sweat dripped down bis face as his jacket was completely torn in half from nehind him.

"Hero..." Kitsune gasped out as he managed to force himself up into a standing position once more. He slipped slightly as he picked up a wooden board. "Hold on..." He gasped out. The tail of the monster shot out backtailing Kitsune away as it didn't even bother turning to look at the boy.

Hero let out a gasp as he was hit hard enough to break his legs as his entire ankle snapped in half and he was actually pushed into the ground. "Maudite..." He hissed out as he almost slipped. "You need to run-"

"No!" Maudite shouted. "I won't let you kill yourself because of me!" She cried out. "Hero... You have friends who care about you! So I won't let you just throw your life away for my sake!"

"It's better than us both dying!" Hero gasped out. The monster slammed a hand down on him again as he let out a loud pained yell. 'I need to do something-' Hero's eyes widened as he remembered something...

'If you are ever in danger and for whatever reason, you don't think Jackson will be able to come save you guys pull out that box and hit the button...' That was what Dawson had said...

'Damn it!' Hero thought as the hand slammed into his back once again. 'My arms... They are way to messed up to reach for the box!'

The Earl seemed to let out what sounded like a loud laugh as it raised its fist up once again. It pointed a clawed finger out preparing to end Hero once and for all. The Earl let out a loud yell as it laughed.

Then suddenly before anyone could react a massive ball of blue energy suddenly slammed straight into the Earl hitting it so hard it was lifted off of the ground and thrown back.

Jackson crashed into the ground as he stabbed his sword into the ground. "Don't worry..." Jackson stated turning to Hero and Maudite who both stared up at him as if he was something amazing. "I'm here."
