Chapter 45 - Into The Nest Part 1 (1/2)

Age 1990

Irene, Kitsune, Ken, and Cloud all stared at the five new people added to their group. ”So...” Ken said slowly as she stared at the many different people. ”Who the hell are these guys.” She said shooting Hero a look. Hero's simple shrug didn't reassure her...

”That is a good question,” Jackson said nodding his head as he folded his arms.

”Ahh, that sword,” Zero said pushing past the Vice-Captain. ”Tell me, girl. Where did you find such a weapon? That is the blade of my people... There aren't too many of them left...”

”What?” Ken said confused.

”I'm with Ken,” Kitsune said nodding his head. ”What?”

”It is a bit of a long story...” Hero said letting out a sigh as he crossed his arms. He tapped his foot slightly as he let out another annoyed sigh.

”These five, guys are here to help us,” Jackson said shrugging. ”...Well... Help is a strong word...”

”Yo. I'm Anga. This is my brother Yang, my friend James, and Seth. And the one eyeing up the underaged girl, even though he knows he probably shouldn't, is Zero. He's a hired thug. A Samurai in fact.”

”What the hell is a Samurai?” Ken asked in confusion.

”They are a part of the Country of Whites country?” Kitsune said shrugging. ”Not sure why one is here though...”

”I am so lost...” Irene said letting out a sigh as she crossed her arms.

”We were bombing the Nest,” Anga said. ”We want to get rid of it, as we found out there is a cave system underneath, that has some very valuable research that we desire. We had no idea there was a village nearby and we feel awful for the harm we caused by our bombing.” The man said giving another simple shrug. ”We wish to get into that cave now for said research which we could use to help the rest of the village, healing their injured limbs, and fixing their buildings, saving most of the world and even helping plants grow.” He stated.

”So... So you guys are good guys?” Ken asked curiously.

”Well four of them are,” Jackson said nodding. ”One of them however is an idiot who still thinks they are a part of the country of white even though every samurai from that country who was stuck here died a long time ago, and now they are citizens born in the country of red who refuse to accept that fact!” He shouted.

”Screw you, Enforcer!”

”Mr. Storm,” Kitsune said waving his arms. ”Please don't make him mad...”

”Storm...” Zero said slowly. ”Storm as in the Enforcer who leads the army...”

”That's right,” Jackson said as his eyes narrowed. ”My Grandpa is the leader of the Enforcers. So you better not try anything. You know how powerful the Storms are right?”

Zero let out a brief chuckle as he turned on his hills. ”A Storm huh...” He said quietly as he walked away. ”It looks like it's my lucky day then...” He said quietly again. ”I won't do anything evil Enforcer. You have my word...” Zero stated as he waved his hand in the air leaving a small streak of white.

”So... So they aren't gonna kill each other?” Hero asked stepping back. ”That's good... Does anyone think they could stop them if they broke out into a fight...”

”I have no idea...” Anga said shaking his head. ”Damn Enforcers, and Samurais. Why couldn't I just find two really powerful groups that aren't insane?”

”Well...” Hero said giving a half-hearted shrug. ”In my experience, power and insanity go hand in hand...” He announced simply.

”What's that supposed to mean?” Anga questioned as Hero turned and began to walk away. ”Boy? Hey! Hey boy! What did you mean?”

Five minutes later...
