"This is rather interesting. Minami, go retrieve that kid by any means but make sure he is alive. If we can get him to our side, then we will be unstoppable."
"Understood Ma'am"
The subtle shift in the wind became the only indication that someone had been in the room. On the other hand, a young woman with long hot pink hair and unblemished skin stood alone in the room, staring blankly at the vast vacuum of space filled with distant stars and celestial bodies.
"We'll meet soon...my love"
.
Emily stared impassively at the shadowed figure which stood a few meters from her. Both remained silent, leaving the subtle breeze of the whistling wind to disturb the eerie silence.
"I will not allow you to take him."
"Then you know what happens next."
The shadow figure stepped forward to reveal a slim figure endowed with unparallel beauty. Her ghostly pale skin glistened against the light, giving more depth to her silky raven colored hair that matched the knee-length black dress.
Though the two things which stood out the most, were her crimson eyes that glowed with an uncanny authority that could send shivers down the spine of anyone who peered into them, and the twin pair of horns that protruded from her forehead.
On the other hand, Emily's azure-colored eyes stared blankly in the crimson eyes of the demonic girl which held a sadistic glint behind them.
Then with no warning, the demon girl had blurred forward as if she walked amongst the shadows themselves. Her steps were inaudible and her presence barely made the air shift, yet despite this nearly incomprehensible speed, Emily's reaction were vastly superior.
Emily's azure-colored eyes shifted to the right, just as the demon girl had appeared in that moment.
'Impossible!'
The demonic woman had gritted her teeth in frustration, furrowing her thin eyebrows.
"You're a bit to slow Minami..."
Emily shifted her stance and leaned a bit to the side, narrowly avoiding Minami's sharp nails. Despite the audible whizzing sound from the sharp nails flying through empty air at an immense velocity, Emily kept her composure and prepared a counterattack.
With an elegant motion that lacked no wasted movement, Emily slipped past Minami's outstretched arm before the demonic woman could retract it. This left Minami's entire right side defenseless, allowing for Emily to take advantage of the situation.
Thus, Emily had lashed out with an open palm strike, connecting with Minami's ribcage.
.
Meanwhile, Mikey and the other's sat atop a rooftop, glancing down at the enemy forces that were scattered across the abandoned city.
"The planet orbit is stable once again."
"I also kept the atmosphere stabilized. So now what?"
Mikey remained silent and continued too absentmindedly gaze at the fallen enemy forces.
"What's wrong dude? not feeling the vibes?"
Keith and the other's stared intently at the absentminded Mikey. Despite only knowing Mikey for a few days, they've grown a bit attached to the young enforcer.
"It's not that...I just have a very bad feeling. Like something really bad is going to happen"
The statement made everyone freeze in an awkward silence. Mikey continued to stare off into the distance, pondering on the prophetic vision he had witnessed.
"Is that so?"
Everyone's attention immediately turned to the individual who appeared on the rooftop.
"Oh Emily...uh who is that?"
Mikey finally regained his composure and stood up, taking notice of the slumped body that Emily held firmly in her grasp.
"No one of importance."
Her answer was firm and resolute, leaving no room for an argument. Mikey nodded in compliance and decided to change the topic.
"Anyway, I had another vision. The sun exploded and the world was engulfed in a blackhole."
Emily stared at Mikey blankly as if processing the information and after a few minutes of silence, she dropped the body of the demonic girl like a sack of rocks.
"It might have something to do with this girl right here."
Mikey glanced down at the unconscious body with a subtle confused expression. Though the moment his eyes landed on the protruding horns from her forehead, they widened in shock at the realization that the woman was a part of the demonic species.
"How?"
"She was sent to capture you. If you didn't already know your worth, now it's time to make it clear. Your scientific core is considered a universal weapon and with your adaptive intelligence, you're considered a weapon of mass destruction."
Mikey listened with a profound expression, gazing down at his hands as if he were gauging the truth of her words. The more he thought about it, the more those words resonated with him.
"I see...so I'm the secret weapon that could win this war?"
"Yes. Not only that, but you can also increase the potency of other enforcer's scientific abilities. Without the foundation of mathematics, the hierarchy of science could crumble"
Keith and the other's listened intently to the conversation between Emily and Mikey, pondering if the words that Emily spoke were the truth, or was it a way to get them to cooperate easier.
"So, this kid is basically like the leader of the enforcers?"
"In short, yes."
Keith scoffed at the answer and stood up with an annoyed expression evident on his face. He then stood in front of Mikey, tilting his head down to stare at the teen who have yet to reach a growth spurt.
"I don't doubt his scientific prowess, but I refused to believe this shrimp is supposed to lead us."
The other two enforcers nodded in agreement yet decided to remain silent as to not stir more drama.
"Well science is facts. Seeing as how Michael has the potential to learn every scientific ability through equations, should be enough evidence that he's the leader without a doubt. Though I do understand your concern regarding his experience."
A sudden groan had abruptly broke through the conversation, making everyone turn their attention to the sudden noise.
"Oh, she's waking up. Be on guard Mikey, she's dangerous. Oh yeah that's right, I brought her along so-"
Emily's sentence was cut short by Minami suddenly rushing toward Keith, who seemed to have been the first person she saw when waking up.
"Ah shit-"
Minami fist landed on Keith's chest with a sickening crunch.
The sheer force of the strike was enough to generate a visible whirlwind which shook the building. Though just as Keith had been sent reeling backward from the immense force, Emily and Mikey had already made their move.
.
"Hm. So, the kid managed to learn how to control vectors. He's becoming too dangerous."
A sigh escaped the lips of the invading forces leader, Amaki Nuho, a powerful extraterrestrial known to conquer cultivated planets and enslaving species to expand his empire.
He is one of the most wanted individuals and is sought after by the intergalactic federation. Though due to the sheer number of his army, and his unique ability, it is nearly impossible for the federation to capture him without starting an all-out war.
.
Akari Numen, a young female mercenary, found herself absentmindedly gazing at the horizon. Under her foot was a lifeless corpse drained of blood, though it was clear that the body was still fresh.
"I have another job for you Akari. Eliminate the enforcer known as Michael Sonora"
"Yes sir."
A wicked grin replaced her stoic expression, and a subtle sadistic glint filled her grey dull eyes.
"This is going to be a thrill."
.
Keith and Minami were locked in intense combat. On the other hand, Mikey and the other's observed with amused expressions, glancing between each other occasionally.
"Who do you think will win."
"It will be Minami. The reason is because Keith hasn't reached his full potential with his ability. Minami is from a different planet with a far greater gravitational pull."
Mikey nodded at the explanation given to him by Emily, glancing toward her for a few seconds before observing the fight once again.
"Someone's here-"
Before Emily could warn Mikey about the arrival of a new threat, Akari had landed on the rooftop with enough force to cause the building to collapse.
Emily was the first to react by leaping from the building and onto another. As for Mikey, he managed to react in the nick of time and leap toward the ground.
As for the others, they were unfortunate enough to get caught within the collapsing building.
Mikey then turned toward Emily who stood on the edge of another rooftop with a blank expression, glancing up toward her with an obvious annoyed expression.
"Can you handle this?"
"No. This is your fight."
Mikey sighed in irritation and turned his attention to Akari who was walking from out the cloud of dust and the debris.
"Michael Sonora. Prepare to meet your end-"
Mikey was already in front of Akari before she could finish her sentence, landing a solid kick to her abdomen.
She remained unphased.
Mikey eyes widened in surprise, caught off guard by the endurance of his new foe. Unfortunately, Akari capitalized on Mikey's brief moment of shock and delivered a lethal left-hook counter, connecting with his chin.
Mikey was momentarily dazed by the sheer force of Akari's strength.
Then Akari latched onto Mikey's outstretched leg with one hand, pulling him forward to throw off his equilibrium while lashing out with a lethal back hand, nearly rendering Mikey unconscious.
'Holy hell. I can't get hit like that again or I'm done for'
Much to Akari's surprise, Mikey regathered his bearings quicker than she predicted, allowing him to backpedal and put distance between them.
"It's been quite some time Mikey. I hope you didn't forget me~"
"...Who are you..."
