FIVE

Fort – Pameross. A port city where the Dai Xo Yakuza run its underground empire, currently under siege by the Hanafuda Mei Yakuza. Dai Xo’s only neighbor since the rest of the territory is vast waters.

A stream of steel made ropes attack a unit of the Hanafuda Mei who were assigned the job of seizing the docks by taking all the fishermen’s boats, they successfully took all of them, but their departure has been hindered by 3 teens in matching uniform.

“Sir, those kids are unknowns, we do not have any information on them or their powers.”

“Look, we did what we had to do. Let’s avoid a fight and leave.” An agent slowly walks backwards, his head moving up as the only female out of the 3 teens flies upwards, he is still amazed at how people with powers are real.

The girl who cannot see a single boat looks down, “Hey! Where did you take our boat?”

The men look at each other. They were hoping the 3 kids are here for personal reasons unrelated to the boats.

“Well, I was kind of hoping they would not notice the boats are gone, I feel bad since they are kids, but we don’t have a choice, kill them if that’s what it takes, but we need to go.” The unit commander of the Docks operation team aims his gun and pulls the trigger attacking the taller boy between the two boys standing across from him.

The taller boy turns to his companion, “I told you they always make the mistake of shooting me first. Get them.” The boy shakes his head, the bullets bounced off of him.

The smaller boy turns the steal ropes into larger steel snakes and holds out his hand. The girl flies away to start looking for the boat. At the far distance she can see something, but it looks more like a mirage, she can’t make out what exactly she is seeing, and she can’t stay in the air long enough to catch up.

Agents surround the two boys from all sides and attack. With various weapons, ranging from lasers, to beams, and throwing weapons.

The taller one is just standing still, not moving a muscle. The smaller one uses his snakes to shield himself, but he looks like he is having a hard time with it. He is gritting his teeth very tightly.

The girl in the air dodges various attacks, lasers, and beams, with missiles. There are too many and coming from multiple directions, she can’t dodge them all. She drops into the water when her flight time runs out, she swims up seeing a diver and takes a chance attacking only to get knocked out by a single punch from an agent underwater.

He swims out carrying her and leaving her on the floor, “Let’s go, everything is all set.” The diver says paying no mind to the chaos ensuing.

A steel snake bites off half his body and takes the unconscious girl.

The commander notices the kids can’t attack and their defense is weakening, but he decides to not underestimate them, it is possible the instant his men run out of ammunition they will be in trouble, he signals them to start leaving.

The teens fend off attacks and once they stop turn to the unconscious girl.

“Oi, you stupid brat, I saved your friends life, is this the thanks I get?” The man who was underwater makes clones and they rush towards the teens.

“What’s someone with powers doing working for them?” the taller boy asks taking a fighting stance.

The smaller one is giving his friend C.P.R and smiles when she wakes up.

“Ewe, pervert.” She sits up and shoves him, and he falls on his back. She turns to the taller boy and smiles at him, but notices a clone is attacking him, she gets kicked in the jaw by a clone instantly passing out and another attacks her too.

The smaller boy is kicked in the face and hits his head on the wood breaking a fraction of it. He uses the snakes to form a dome around himself and his friends killing the clones inside it.

The diver scoffs, “What the hell is up with powered kids these days, how can they be so strong?” he runs and joins the rest of the men on the last boat, “Out of Ammo, lucky bastards.”

“Do you think they will come after us?”

The diver shakes his head, “Highly unlikely. I messed up the girly pretty good, that brat stopped fighting in the middle of a war zone to resuscitate her, they won’t chase after us, she needs to get to a doctor quick.”

~~~~

Outside Reina’s restaurant the two hot heads charge together, one generates the shield the other uses his strength. Their nerdy friend is putting the street together.

“Guys, property damage, property damage.” He stops bullets in midair, “Excuse me, could you just leave.” He squats down dodging a large boulder and jumps up when the men he was just begging to leave are dead, “Why did I sign up for this?” he floats the large boulder and puts it back where it belongs, “Stop destroying everything!!” he buries everyone underground, “I said stop!”

He stops a bullet from a sniper without even looking and fixes the property.

Kendo watching from a distance sighs, “Alright, the coast is clear, take down the building.”

The hot heads trapped look at Toya’s new skyscraper going down a distance away, they are not even affected by the aftershock wave. It is in Kai Riden’s property.

“Daniel!! Get us out of here!! Hurry up!!”

Daniel gasps, “My homework is in there.” He releases only his friends and runs towards the destroyed building.

“Daniel!!”

“If homework is that serious, you can do mine.”

Kendo jumps in front of the two hot heads, “I can take these two, grab the rest, they will be shipped within the hour.” He breaks the shield one of the hot heads just generated with one punch and grabs both the boys.

“Rex!”

Rex stops Kendo’s punch catching it with his bare hands, even Kendo’s men are startled for a moment, he is the muscles of the Hot head duo, “Super strength? No one’s stronger than me stupid adult!” he hits Kendo with a gut punch, “Captain, go get that idiot and give him my homework.” Rex orders his friend brushing off Kendo’s retaliation punch like it is nothing

“Are you sure?” Captain asks taking Kendo very seriously, he is a buff man, and from the looks of it someone not to be taken lightly, he would rather help fight him together, he is the shield of the hot head duo.

“CAPTAIN.”

Captain sees his girlfriend getting dragged away and runs towards her.

“Bastard I said get the Nerd, she can handle herself.” Rex kicks Kendo and sighs he has never met an opponent that lasted more than one hit against him in a fight, “I have never gone all out, this could be interesting.”

Kendo smirks, “Funny I was about to say the same thing.” He tightly clenches his fists and throws all his might into the single punch.

Rex flies across the street and hits the ground, in shock a punch could hurt so much, now he knows how everyone else feels when he punches them. His entire body is frozen in pain, it aches everywhere each time he tries to move a single muscle.

Kendo whistles, “First time the punch didn’t kill someone, but he’s like a million years away from beating me.” He signals his men to get passed him.

Captain looks at the ones getting taken, “Sorry guys.” He creates a large shield that attacks anyone it comes in contact with by electrocuting them, and the ones he’s rescuing are electrocuted too. He rushes towards his girlfriend, “Just follow Daniel to the tower.” He looks behind him and Kendo is already launching his fist.

Captain throws his shield up blocking the blow, but the force knocks him back, he falls to the ground, Captain avoids injuries cleverly using another shield as a cushion, “Fuck.” He gets up, “Go, I can handle this bastard.” He says to his girlfriend standing there watching.

Kendo laughs, “What, arrogance.” He attacks Captain and the shield this time holds which fascinates him, “Oh, another one who is looking pretty fun to mess with.” He clenches his fists once more and attacks all out, the result it that the shield holds, he is shocked for a moment, he has never come upon a shield he cannot shatter with only his fists.

Captain attacks with a shield electrocuting him.

Kendo shakes it off and attacks with a barrage of attacks and the shield keeps getting stronger, “What the hell?” he takes a step back to assess the strategy and react accordingly, while in thought he feels a sharp sting on his back and turns around, Rex is back, “Didn’t you learn your last time?” Now he is mad.

“Who’s the arrogant one this time?” Captain attacks him again, with his partner here he just got a well needed confidence boost.

Rex returns an all-out punch while Kendo is electrocuted.

Kendo notices the rescued kids running towards Toya’s building and sighs, “Well, you two will catch a pretty price.” He attacks Rex and a shield protects him, but Rex can land punches with no problem.

Cat watches the two boys tag team Kendo, “Just stick to the plan, they took the bait.” He sends a second group to the next location. He looks back a bit worried but sees Kendo breaking Rex’s arm and exhales.

“We couldn’t get any kids sir.”

“We’ll take these two after Kendo is finished with them, keep going.” Cat responds, confident Kendo will be alright. He leads the team into an office building, “Alright everybody get down and nobody has to get hurt.” He looks around the building, “Find the files, and do not destroy anything, just take what we came here for.” He wants to avoid thefts in the middle of the destruction, last time someone stole a file and sold the information months later when everyone thought it was destroyed.

Kendo getting pushed back is overwhelmed by the many attacks, the shield bounces back his own attacks in the form of electricity, the weaker his punches, the weaker the electricity is, but he figured it out when it was too late, he doesn’t even have any feeling in his body anymore, the only thing that still functions is his brain.

Rex takes out all his frustrations in a barrage of attacks, putting his might, rage, fear, and energy into his attacks until he is out of power. He exhales exhausted and looks at Captain who cannot generate another shield.

The two boys standing with nothing but will power watch Kendo fall back. K.Od.

Rex looks around, “We should go to the restaurant.”

Captain walks towards it and notices, every other building in the area is destroyed, “When Daniel was yelling at us about property damage, he wasn’t talking about the neighborhood, we were careless and didn’t watch out for the restaurant.”

Rex kicks down the door, his right arm is broken and his left aches, “What the hell are you assholes doing just sitting on your asses, the entire block is destroyed, and the Tower is flattened.”

“By the way, all the High-Tech majors should know their projects were inside that building, you’ll need to start over.” Captain says, coming up with a better way to motivate everyone into go out there to help.

Koin stands up, “Okay this is personal, it took me a whole week to finish that thing.” He never takes school seriously, but between Nano and Daniel constantly nagging him to do it, they somehow managed to get him to do the project, even though every other attempt failed.
