Prologue :

It was around the third year of Morty's lackey work at COSPU, when he really started climbing up the ladders. This world had some supernatural energy and some people who could use that energy to fuel some supernatural abilities, and the "Community of Sepia Users" or COSPU was like supernatural police for keeping these ability-users in check. It was just like the police forces. Corruption, political influence , COSPU had it all. But the incident that really set his wheel of promotions in motion was involving two twelve year olds who could use that special energy called " Sepia ". People call it Sp for short .Morty didn't , actually nobody around his position knew where exactly this energy came from or what is its origin , even though his rank was " highest grade " lackey. Besides that information was also classified so he was content with the most basic knowledge about Sp, that it is not a natural energy but rather an energy from a " Different World "........


(Morty's POV)

I was running carefully, so the tray of coffee I was carrying for a famous Enforcer department head wouldn't fall. That day I was having an usual day of sorting papers and patrolling the station until a famous Enforcer department head ruined my peaceful day by calling out of nowhere and saying that he was coming there, to a random COSPU's regional Enforcer's station. I was going through a hallway and then I heard an alarm go " Alert,alert, Security breach level 2, two twelve year old Sp-user criminals have broken free and are trying to escape. All personnel capture them right now. I repeat.... " . As I kept walking I thought , " Well if it's just a level 2 it shouldn't be a problem . But if I could actually catch them, I might just get a promotion. But what are my chances of finding two.....wait, twelve year olds ? ".

I then remembered hearing rumors about two twelve year old Sp-users getting into fights with street thugs and causing a ruckus at a mayor's electoral speech in the nearby city of Coragris. I also remembered having an official complaint about those kids being snatched away from my hands as I was sorting through some documents by one of the assistants of my department head, Sir Vincent. I was still thinking about how two twelve year olds could become criminals of COSPU standards, when I heard footsteps. I thought it was probably some other lackeys(common disposable soldiers ) rushing to capture the twelve year olds.

But to my surprise it was two twelve year old boys. One of them was a blonde , he had a sword in his hand, it looked like a normal sword, considering how I actually don't remember seeing one in a long time. It had a little blue orb where the blade started and where the handle ended. The blade was slightly curved and also black, so not made from this world's metal. The other one had red hair, he (still) had a muzzle in his face, looked very aggressive and also had a bandage on his face. As I was assessing those kids, they swiftly ran past me. I felt a little dumb for letting them do that. But since lady luck is favoring me today, I can't let this chance for promotion pass. So I put the tray of coffee down and closed my eyes to focus on those kids or rather their Sp. After locking my targets I summoned energy bombs made out of Sp and shot them.

When i opened my eyes , I saw that the blond one stopped and pushed the red haired one down seconds before the before the Sp bombs flew over their heads. They got up and I thought they were gonna attack , because I heard that they were really violent. The red haired one made an aggressive sound but the blonde one dragged him away . I kept running and shooting at them, but of course the blonde one's Sp sensitivity was just too good. He would easily dodge my shots and scream left,right , jump, duck, etc. to direct the red haired one. But then the Captain( the guy in charge of all the soldiers ) called my radio and started speaking , so I started talking to him while chasing those kids....

Captain : Hey Morty you there ?
Me : Yes sir .
Captain " Yeah ok, so I can see through the cameras that you're chasing those kids at Hallway-C. Chase them and make sure that they keep running towards the department head's training room. More people are coming your way, so we'll trap 'em there.
Me : Yes sir .

Everybody in that base knew that the Department Head was a monster and that such a monster's training room was pretty much indestructible. Also, it was an enclosed room, so it was a good plan. So as directed by the captain , I kept chasing them and made it sure that they would go towards the training room. By shooting more Sp bombs towards the paths that would lead to a different direction . The blonde was suspicious at first and tried going the other way, but he gave up later because the bombs were just too much in number. After a while, more lackeys poured out of the other ways forcing the kids into the Department Head's training room. Then after a few bouts with the kids inside the room , they were finally captured . they were cuffed with Sp-disabling handcuffs and detained by binding them to metal chairs with metal chains. I received high praise for perfectly following the plan. The captain even let me be at the interrogation of those kids, when asked him " What did they exactly do ? " .

(3rd person's POV)

Morty somehow found his position in the dark room. He heard a few more sounds until a voice said loudly " Open the lights ", it was his Department head's, Sir Vincent's voice. He fumbled around a little and then he flipped the light switch on . Then there was only one light bulb open in the room . Everyone in the room flinched because of the sudden illumination, except for the department heads, they just stood there like statues. When the blonde kid recovered from the light flash he started speaking.......

Blondie : Real original guys, you know it's just like in the movies, huh, am I right ?
Red-haired one : *inaudible sound that sounded like a taunt (because of the muzzle)
Vincent : So they were really 12 ?
(The big-shot department head)Bryson : Yeah and they actually, almost put up a good fight.
Red-haired one : *inaudible angry noise and thrashing.
Bryson : They have a lot of charges against them, like uh.......
Captain :Disruption of peace, injuring civilians, several assault charges, obstruction of justice, and many more that fall into the minor-criminal activity category.
Red-haired one : *inaudible angry noise and severe thrashing.

To Morty it seemed that the blonde didn't want to talk but he really wanted to kick his friend so that he would stop.

Vincent : So what do you have to say for yourself ?
Blondie :( *Without any hesitation ) I am just a homeless orphan, I just got dragged along with his shenanigans. Let him speak.

Everyone in the room could tell that the blondie didn't want to take any blame. Because he didn't act scared at all when he said that....without any hesitation. Then Vincent told Morty to open red-hair's muzzle , and he opened it .

Red-hair :...............
Vincent : So ? Don't you have anything to say ?
Red-hair : All those charges are BULLSHIT !!

It was so loud that everyone in the room got shocked again.

Bryson : What ? how dare yo-
Red-hair :I beat street thugs and stopped the circulation of drugs in over half of the city. I destroyed several drug dealer's dens and I've never hurt a single civilian in my entire life in that city. Rather I've protected them from thugs and drugs as I considered them the people of my territory, while your "justice-enforcing", tax-sucking, power-flexing mobsters spent away your bribes .(he was looking at Bryson the whole time. )

Then the red-haired kid proceeded to spit on Bryson's shoes. Everybody in the room was surprised. Vincent was silent and Bryson was fuming. The blondie kept his head down and his mouth shut and he looked like he really wanted to kick red-hair so he would keep his mouth shut.

Red-haired one : And I exposed that the mayor of that city had connections with underworld gangs and he was helping them build monster, yes monster-raising facilities in MY territory. Your frickin welcome bitches.

Bryson stood in front of Red-hair with his hand raised and charged in Sp. He asked red-hair....

Bryson : Any last words ?
Red-hair :Praise me and announce to the people of that city that I'm their new lord (with an extra smug face )

Bryson was gonna bring his hand down on red-hair, but before he could Vincent kicked him in the shin and Bryson fell on the floor.

Bryson : Wha-
Vincent : So what did you do to the mayor ?

Bryson : Huh ?
Vincent : What did you do with the frickin mayor ? (loudly)
Bryson :..............Uh........I gave him a warning and uh got rid of those punks from the underworld.
Vincent : So you got rid of the underworld people but you just slapped the mayor on the back and told him "don't do it again" and that's it ?
Bryson : uh......he said, he was -
VIncent : Leave .
Bryson : but-
Vincent : Leave, NOW !


Bryson left without a word, (and it was later found that he smashed Vincent's desk on his way out . Vincent was a little pissed about that)

Vincent : You, you're good .
Red-hair : Of course, I'm the best.

Vincent : We only keep him around for his strength.
Red-hairs : No shit. If only warriors could be kings .
Vincent : So yeah that's why I'll give you guys a chance.
Blondie :( Immediately raised his head ) What do you mean by that ?
Vincent : Well, COSPU needs more people like you guys, but those charges are now real, official.
Red-hair :Yeah, you're right. Can't be the lord with just doing some mercenary work.
Vincent : So I'll send you guys to something like ...uh...a youth detention center for now . The master there is undefeatable, he'll help you become stronger.
Blondie : Sure, then we'll just-
Red-hair : Sorry, but I have no reason to be someone else's underling or join any organizations.

Blondie looked absolutely shocked.

Vincent : HAHAHAHAHA, I like you even more, sure you don't have to, but that's the excuse I'll be using anyway.
Blondie : (*looked relieved )
Red-hair : Ok, whatever , now tell me about this undefeated master.............

Morty was back to managing documents, when the captain told him to go to Vincent's room. When he went there, he saw the two boys dressed in normal clothes. The captain was also there and Vincent was looking at him expectantly...............
Morty : Um....did you call for me, Sir ?
Vincent : Yeah, I heard that you captured these kids when they escaped their cells.
Morty : Uh...no I just-.
Captain : Yes sir, you're right, we couldn't have captured these boys without Morty .
Morty : um........
Vincent : So, Morty, I think you can take responsibility for escorting these boys to the master's dojo at Kaken town, without letting them get in any trouble, right ?
Captain : I'm sure he would be the most suitable, Sir.

Morty exchanged looks with the captain and the he said.......

Morty: Yes sir, I'll properly carry out this mission .
Vincent : Excellent, boys follow him, he'll take you guys there. And don't disappoint me.
Red-hair : You bet.

As they walked out of Vincent's room , his captain stopped him and said " Enjoy your vacation , you deserve it ", and then he went back to do his job. To Morty it seemed that his captain had genuinely recommended him as the escorter of those kids, so that he gets a well-deserved break . But what his captain didn't think through was that these kids were troublemakers, no, straight up demons , which Morty clearly understood. While Morty and the boys were leaving the station...........

Red-hair : Hey did you hear what Vincent said ?
Blondie : What ?
Red-hair : HE thinks that Morty here is strong enough to "take care" of us .
Blondie :...................


Morty could immediately tell that he was gonna spend the next three days not relaxing, but rather in hell.
