Summon Swat Squad

Chapter one

Nocturne a vast dark pit of some of the most morally bankrupt and most vile criminal element you will ever see. Most of the cities monetary gains come from blood money and back alley political pay offs left this city no chance at a cleaning up. That is until the SSS headquarters was established in the city to try and clean up summon monster related crimes which for this city would mean taking out some of its biggest hitters. At least that is what I was told in basic back in the Hub you hear allot of stories epically since the Shadow dragon had returned things had been bubbling over in the criminal world. Gathering men and resources to help combat the Shadow Dragon back incase his claws came down on them. Then taking all that trouble and taking into the human world in an attempt to make a safe zone where a giant dragon would try to stop them would make a giant ruckus. That is what the summon swat squad was for to take out these problems in an efficient and quiet manner and I was their newest recruit with my partner Grog.

                Grog looks like a gargoyle straight off of Notre Dame itself while he actually is a gargoyle I am pretty sure he has never been near the place. He stands at three foot and an imp looking body with a potbelly made of stone and stone wings there are pretty much useless which I hope changes at later levels. He also likes to make sure situations never get too dark you could call him the comedy man to my straight laced cop act.

                “You sure this is the place Grog all I see is condemned buildings?” I asked Grog looking around the decrepit and depressing buildings around me.

                “Of course Maxey they told me it was this one it is just covered by Illusion wards.” Grog said in my head from the summon world. “Just walk into that one over there and it should change when you enter.”

                “Guess I am going to have to get use to this” I said walking through the open doorway that had broken doors on it and as soon as I walked past the threshold the broken building turned into what looked like a modern police station. Men and women in uniforms typing away at floating screens on their desktop. On the other side of the room a pair of officers where moving a Troll into a back room looking like it was taking all they could to do it.

                “You must be new, stand there too long and people will think you are a statue” said a voice that came from the reception desk. A Pudgy man in uniform with a half-eaten donut in his hand and what looked like a pile of rocks to the side of him. He was definitely the cartoon version of what cops look like, although what happened next surprised me the pile of rocks formed into a somewhat humanoid form although the head showed no facial features. 

                “Wow a golem did not think I would see one right as I came in to HQ” I said with a whistle at the end. The large Creature looked at me and gave me what I could only guess was an annoyed look.

                “Not a golem, Rock elemental.” Said the Creature taking a step towards me stopped by the officer at the desk holding his hand with the donut in front of the rock elemental.

                “He did not know everyone makes mistakes Avy besides captain wants you in registration pronto.” The officer said waving the donut down a hall that had a sign that said locker room and registration on it. Not wanting to anger the walking mountain any more I walked down the hallway until I got to the room with the registration sign on it.

Walking in I saw a stick of a man typing on his computer a fire hellhound sleeping beside the desk. Moving his head to the side of the monitor he looked at me and gave me a smile. I could see my reflection in his giant glasses definitely one of the nerdy types that are always behind a computer screen from seeing the people in my dad’s old station most likely this guy has never seen any action.

‘’ You must be the new guy” He said standing up to shake my hand.

“So everyone is telling me” I said taking his hand and shaking it. His grip was definitely not that strong although a weird hum of energy did seem to emanate from it. Something to store away in the brain just in case. Trying to read people has always been a pass time for me something that led me to law enforcement. Plus it has kept me from getting my butt kicked more times than not.

“So I just need to ask you a few questions to put in your file and then you can get suited up” he said sitting down and bringing up a screen in front of me. “So what is your full first and last name?”

“Maximus Hendricks and yes I know it’s a weird name my dad loved gladiator movies” I said knowing he would ask if I did not say the look on his face told me I was right and he kept on typing.

“Alright now summon weapon would you please summon it or them and hold them up to the screen.”

I held out my hands and two Sai formed in my hands they looked like they were made of stone and had gargoyle heads on the bottom which made them look cool and from what I had experimented with on a mugger one night a pretty nasty thing to beat heads with. I held them up to the screen and a flash went off and a picture of my Sai went on the screen and then the file flew into a folder.

“Now last thing I will need you to summon your summon beast and have him say his name or say it for him if he is unable”

Dismissing my weapons I raised my hand and exerted the magic energy I have been training with since Grog had chosen me as his summoner. A circle with runes on it appeared on the floor and Grog climbed out of it.

“Grog is the name and looking good is the game.” Grog said making poses as the camera moved around him taking pictures. I really wish he would take this more seriously probably going to get us kicked out in a week if I am lucky.

“Energetic little guy well that should be it there will be a locker with your name on it in the locker room now go and get suited up and then go see Captain Stryker.” He said pointing down farther down the hall and returned to typing.

Walking into the locker room I looked down and found my locker with Maximus Hindrecks on the screen infront of the locker. The locker had no handle on it so I put my hand on the screen and it left finger prints that where scanned. The locker opened and a pannel with equipment slid out. The pannel had a standard uniform and what looked like bullet proof armor with smaller equipment around it. I took off my leather jacket and black shirt I was about to take off my pants when I felt a presence behind me. I turned around and there was a blonde haired woman staring at me she had the hair in a braid that went down to her shapely hips. she had her arms around her bust but it was barley covered by them she had on a uniform that while looked professional did not hide a curve. 

"Do you mind. " I asked.

"No not at all go on." She said looking up and down my body.

"I can't get dressed with you staring at me" I replayed. 

"Sure you can all you have to do is drop those pants. I have already seen your tan skin, lean body no six pack but that is ok, and that military black cut hair really pulls off the hot cop look." She said her hands inching closer to my pants button when the door flung open and a woman who stood six feet tall walked in.

"Officer Samson I thought you where suppost to be interrogating the new prisoner we had coming in." The tall woman said with an authority only a higher up could have.

"Just razing the new recruit Captain" the blonde woman said walking twords the door giving me a wink before she left.

"Careful with that one Hendricks she acts like a fluzzy, but she does it to see how smart people are by the way I am captain Stryker. " She said turning to me.

"Captain." I said with a salute. 

"At ease Hendricks it's good to see you finally accepted our invitation to join the force.  I know your father would be proud, I was sorry to her of his disappearance. " she said her face still serious looking.

"Well it was stay at home alone with Grog or face things that could kill me this seemed like the better choice. " I said trying my hand at comedy Grog giving me a look.

"Good then as soon as you are dressed I am taking you on the beat." She said with a grin.

For some reason I think I am not going go like it when the captain smiles.
