[IC] A Hero Tale {Complete}

[tex]

Jenso's fist struck the wall with a mighty crash, launching the marble into an open room. However, the room beyond the hold looked like a rainbow of random colors, as if it was another dimension.

"Who the hell was that?!" A voice called out from within the strange dimension. Was this a way out? Or..

[Jensoman]

Jenso poked his head into the strange room. "Uhh..hello? Who's there?" Jenso called out, not intending to go in the room haphazardly.

[tex]

As soon as he head left the hallway, a flash of energy surged through his body, and the colors faded. He was in the infirmary, where several men with high-tech equipment like the guards outside were standing around Mikey's body. What luck! But where was Ross? There were five men, and they were all on immediate guard. One of them stepped forward though, and cleared his throat, looking at Jenso through his mechanical visor.

"Jenso! Why are you breaking down walls like that? Weren't you allowed access to the castle peacefully?" He asked, as the other four men glared at him intensely.

[Jensoman]

"Oh sorry, I wanted to make a cool entrance.." Jenso muttered, casually walking forward towards the man. "Sorry, I overdid it a little.." He said with a smile. He would attempt to lunge forward suddenly and grab the man, in order to use him as a shield and wrap his left arm around the man's neck in order to hold him in place. "Let my friend go, or I'll break his neck!" Jenso shouted at the other four. "Nothing personal, sir. I just want my friend to be safe." He whispered to the man.

[tex]

The man struggled but couldn't move. "What are you doing?!" The other four guards reached for their belts and pulled out four little guns.

"Forget it! He knows everything!" One guard shouted. "Do it!"

"What?! No! He'll kill-"

"Too bad!" Another guard shouted, and then without waiting, they fired electrical bullets at Jenso from their little guns.

[Jensoman]

Jenso glared at the men as they fired, and his eyes widened as the electrical bullets came at him. It seemed faster then normal magic."You'd kill your own ally? You people disgust me!" Jenso spat, and aimed a quick punch at the side of the man's head to knock him out. He lifted the man off the ground as a surge of power rushed through him. He tried to dash out of the way at top speeds with the man in tow by dashing further to the left of the room, and tried to throw the man into the knees of the other guards.

[tex]

The men hopped and revealed that their legs were enhanced by something metallic and complex, towards Jenso, and landed nearby, firing their guns at Jenso, point blank.

[Jensoman]

Jenso attempted to jump over the incoming shots and land in between the group of guards. He spun around as a surge of power rushed through him, and aimed a quick horizontal high-kick with his left foot at the heads of the two guards on his right.

[tex]

Jenso jumped, but wasn't quick enough, and the electrical bullets struck his legs, causing his muscles to spasm, and giving the men enough time to dodge his kick. They fired again at him right after, trying to take him down asap.

[Jensoman]

Jenso glared at the men as the bullets came at him. 'It doesn't look like my flame powers will be enough to stop something that moves at such speed..' He thought, and slammed his left fist into the ground in order to rip a large chunk of the floor out. He used it as a shield to block the incoming bullets by holding it with his right, and launched three flameballs into the air with his left hand, aimed so they would crash into the guards from above. He hoped it would strike them, but if not, at the least it would create a smoke screen which would possibly obscure the men's fields of vision.

[tex]

The bullets ricocheted off of the slab of white marble flooring, and Jenso's fireballs crashed down. One of the men was lit aflame, and knocked over, but the others dashed around the barricade that Jenso created and began firing upon him from both sides.

[Jensoman]

Jenso peeked out from behind the marble piece that he was holding to see the result and the remaining guard's movements. He took note of two shooting at him from his right while the third shot from the other side. 'Shit..!' Jenso thought, as a surge of power rushed through him. He attempted to move the marble piece to his right in order to shield against the bullets that came from the right side and turned to face the bullets from the other side.

A surge of power rushed through him as he dashed at the one guard at great speed, strafing left and right to make him a harder target to hit as he attempted to weave past the incoming bullets. He aimed to straight-up punch the man in the face with his left fist in order to knock him out.

[tex]

Jenso rushed forwards, but a couple of the bullets from the solo man struck him. The didn't do much though, not with so few, and before the man had a chance to react with his enhanced legs, he was knocked down, crashing against the floor as Jenso struck him. The final two ran around the marble piece, but hesitated for a moment.

"Uh, sir... We may have a problem," One said into a wrist-mounted device that looked just like Sera's walkie talkie.

[Jensoman]

Jenso glared at the men as one of them spoke to the device on his wrist. 'Well, it's not surprising that they have walkie talkies like Sera...all the guards might have one..' Jenso thought, as a surge of power rushed through him. He dashed towards the first man that was talking at top speeds. He feigned as if he was going to throw a punch at the man's face with his right fist, but suddenly made a sharp turn to the left and aimed a quick kick with his right foot at the side of the other man's head. He hoped that he would be able to startle the man that was talking with his fast approach and surprise the other guard.

[tex]

The first man stumbled back, and fell onto his butt, his two metal leg enhancers clanking against the ground. The second man tried to lift his gun, but was frozen in fear, and took Jenso's kick head-on, twisting his entire body until his head hit the ground and knocked him out. The man who fell over backed away from Jenso fearfully, pushing himself back until he was rested against one of the operating tables.

"P-Please!" He cried, raising his hands to shield his face.

[Jensoman]

Jenso glared at the man. He attempted to grab the man's arms and lower them away from his face. Jenso remembered Sera's words, and how he could simply give the kill order on Ross if he wanted too. He began to whisper to the man. "I'm going to give you a chance, I suggest you take it. First, tell your buddies on your device that I managed to escape from the illusion, but that you managed to take me down and restrain me. Then, disconnect it. Next, you're going to tell me what you did to Mikey and show me where Ross is." Jenso stated, in a calm but threatening tone. "Try to sound calm when you talk in the device."

[tex]

The man hesitated for a moment, but nodded, knowing full well that Jenso was capable of far worse than what he'd just seen. He rose the the speaker up to his mouth, breathed deeply, and nodded before pressing a button in his glove.

"Subject Gold has been subdued, I repeat, subject Gold has been subdued," He announced. A moment later, Sera's voice came online...

"Subdued!? Did he break the illusion? How did you even take him down? Report! Over!"

"He broke through your illusion magic, master Sera. Many of my men were taken out, but our electrical bullets were enough to weaken him to the point where I could knock him out with my limb enhancers, over."

"...Well, then! What are you waiting for? Take up to the extraction chamber! Over and out."

The man sighed and nodded again. "Mikey is just weak from his battle with you, we never healed him. We've just sedated him, and we were keeping him safe until you showed up. Ross is..."

[Jensoman]

Jenso moved his hands to the devices on his wrists, aiming to straight up crush them with his hands while avoiding to hurt the man, and then attempt to crush the gun he had been holding. He was somewhat relieved that they didn't do anything to Mikey, but the man's hesitation to speak about Ross worried him. "What did you do to Ross?!" Jenso asked in a paniced tone, clenching his fists. He grabbed Mikey and gently placed him on his right shoulder. "Show me where he is, right now!" Jenso said, waiting for the man to get up. "I'll let you go afterwards, you have my word!"

[tex]

The man stayed silent for a moment, and looked away from Jenso. "Jenso, is it?.. I uh. I can't do that," He said quietly, "If I do that, Sera will never be able to complete his plan.. And.."

[Jensoman]

"What plan, exactly?" Jenso asked the man. "Whatever it is, is it really worth draining people's energy and possibly killing them for it?" He added, frowning at the man.
