Enforcers 75 A Calming Momen

'Do not'

'Do not'

'Do not'

'I am Zero...'

The yellow flames from the monsters flames exploded out lighting up the area in a bright yellow flash. The flames soared out over the many Enforcers melting through them instantly.

'Do not'

Hero watched as a white gooey tentacle of Hospital, the other monster who lived inside his head, soared out wrapping around him. He tried to make a sound. Make any noise but he was unable to speak. Unable to move. The tentacle slowly slithered up his body...

'Most, are battle-hungry-mad-warriors... They say it takes a few years but all Seraphin's slowly snap, and will only care about battle, in order to grow...'

Hero sat up in bed letting out several large gasps as he slowly settled his breathing. He looked around the dark room spotting the sleeping bodies of Kitsune, Cloud, Irene, and Ken, all four of them sleeping in their own comfortable beds back in the Squad Six recruit dorm room. Thankfully none of them seemed to have heard him, or his panicked wake-up. Hero was silent as he felt his rapid heartbeat begin to slow down...

Hero let out a small sigh as he reached up gripping his hand which was shaking violently. "Why... Why can't I stop shaking." He questioned as he slowly laid back down. He closed his eyes only to open them seconds later. Only now something was different.

The dorm room was gone.

Now all that surrounded him was a valley of warm red liquid, and a giant lab coat that was chained up to a massive blue ball. He was back inside his head...

"How did you get back here?" The lab coat hissed out when it saw the sixteen-year-old appear.

"It's my head? I'm here all the time." Hero said shrugging. "Also meditation or something? I dunno?"

"What do you want?" The coat said in a booming voice. It was clear it disliked him even more, after he had tricked it into giving up valuable information.

"I'm here to tell you to knock it off Labby!" Hero announced pointing at the massive lab coat. "Stop it! I don't like what you're doing!"

It seemed to tilt, the closest thing it had to a head, as it stared down at him. "What do you mean? Knock what off? What are you going on about now you idiotic fool?"

"I keep waking up in a cold sweat. My body won't stop shaking. My heart feels weird. I can't stop thinking about Zero. And I just feel like I am going to throw up at any second!" Hero said in an annoyed tone as he crossed his arms. "So whatever you're doing stop it! I can't get any sleep!"

"Hahaha!" The coat let out a long and slow laugh as it shook. "I see what's going on... First of all, I can not affect your body in that way. Even if I wasn't sealed up, I would not be able to do something that specific. All I can do is wipe memories, keep people out, control the output of power coming from you, block power coming from you, and of course kill you. I do not possess the ability to make you dream, or make your body shake. Secondly. Even if I could why would I do that? My goal is to kill you, or monitor you, but we are way past that point, not annoy you. And thirdly. What you just described was fear... You're scared."

"What..."

"You're scared... You can't help but imagine the fight going off in your head again, and again. You're seeing how lucky you got right? How slim chances you really had. That was what it came down to. Luck. If that man had just put even a tiny amount of extra effort in pushing down on that blade you, and that Alazir girl would have died. Then everyone else would have died. Then the village. And who knows what would of happened after that... You realize that there was no skill involved in your win. It came down to pure luck..."

"Will you shut up!"

The coat let out another laugh. "You know... That Zero guy was strong... But we both know the Doctor is stronger... We both know that girl you like is stronger. We both know the man who held you captive for nearly seven years, is stronger. We both know your mother was stronger. And we both sure as hell know that Okami Otoko is stronger... You know what he'll do to you after you can't beat him... You'll be completely altered and made into the perfect weapon just like he wants... And as you are now you can't save 'her...' You're going to fail. You'll-"

"Stop talking!" Hero yelled out clutching his ears as he let out a small hiss. He took several deep breaths as he clutched his chest. He could feel his heart beating like a drum as the pain in his chest got worse and worse.

"You're afraid of dying. Afraid of failing. Afraid of letting them all down! Hero! You are experiencing fear!"

"You're wrong. I'm not scared." Hero said with a small shaky voice. "I... I've been afraid before. I shouldn't be acting like this?"

"Then why haven't you been fighting at all?" The coat questioned. "Or are you scared what that shy girl said... Scared what will happen to you now that you're a Seraphin. It was true you know... A Seraphin will always lose their minds. It'll start off slow but eventually, all you'll care about is fighting and growing. You'll become lost to it... You could even want to kill your friends... Battle lust. That's what your future holds."

"Y-You're lying..."

"Am I? This is precious. You never felt anything like this. One of the benefits of living with your grandfather. You have never been placed in a dangerous situation before. At least not until that mission. You never had a need to fear before. Never knew how much work you would have to put in... Face it. You failed. You see how strong the others are... Even on your own Squad that fox, and that young girl are stronger than you? Rember how your grandfather tried to make you the second strongest man in the world? Remember how you bragged about it? Why have you stopped? Even when you knew it was false. Your grandfather taught you to always say that... Told you to use it to ready yourself? Yet you've stopped?"

"How... How do you know that?"

"You've forgotten... I am you. I am the true you. You can try to repress whatever you want but in the end, it will always come back to me..." The coat said slowly. "Why do you think you were always positive? I would hold those negative thoughts. But now that I am sealed you have no choice but to face them. Fear, Rage, Sadness."

"So... Everything I felt most of it would go to you?"

"Face it. You needed me. You still need me-"

Hero went to say something but slowly closed his mouth. He stared down at the red liquid for a few moments. "Not yet..." He said finally speaking up. "I'm... I'm leaving." He called out as he turned away.

"Running away? Well. That is a natural response to fear. It is normal for a human to want to run away. Of course, you aren't human. You are a Seraphin. A monster. And a monster can't feel fear..."

Hero ignored the coat as he closed his eyes. And when he reopened them, he was back in bed...
