Chapter 4 - Golden Shift

*Choso POV*

-One Year Later, 16 years old 2016-

"Golden Shift!, c'mere you beautiful son of a bitch" Dr Abbot says as he puts both of his hands on my shoulders and I smile.

I became a lot of people's favorite due to my abilities, deaths go down by 95% when my shift starts until it ends, DOA's contributing the 5%.

"Hey Abbott, anyone I should know of right now?" I ask as I walk to the lockers.

"Everyone's stable, nights practically a newborn so just wait a bit and the rush will start." He says as I place my backpack into my locker.

"Good thing I'm here then huh?" I say with a smile as I walk to the front.

"I'll thin the herd, let you Guys handle the ones that need special care" I say as I go out into the waiting room and eyeball the ones with simple injuries before I begin to heal the ones who were checked out and cleared for a full heal due to no underlying issues.

*Choso POV*

-11 hours later-

I had changed only once, the night having been 'quiet' by our standard.

Currently I'm walking home due to having been let go until my shift starts again, I'm only able to work so much due to it being summer and reverse cursed energy refreshing my brain but I still like to sleep a lot, It's my day off today at least so I can sleep in and then take Hermy and Grandma out to eat somewhere and then hopefully watch a movie at least.

I round a corner before I'm met with a mall on fire and Mecha man staring at the building.

"That's Everybody, all clear" an officer says to Mecha man who's currently in his mech, he looks back at the man before slowly starting to head inside.

"Mm, mmm, mm-mm" I hum as I turn

around and find a different way home.

Translation: Oh, Should I?...Nah

*3rd Person View*

*THUD* Mecha-Man jumps into the building before he starts walking and looking around, trying to find the person that did this among the flames.

"Damage is done, All I want is a Conversation." He says from inside the Mecha which amplifies his voice before a burst of flames fly's by.

"No need to do any more-" he's interrupted as another burst comes flying and hits his shoulder.

"AGH!" He yells out in frustration as he's jerked to the side before gaining back his footing and looking around before a he hears a grunt and something or someone comes flying at him, he gets into a boxing stance and steady's himself before the Flaming person goes flying past him, he turns to not lose sight of them.

They come flying straight for him before Mecha-Man delivers an uppercut and stuns them for just a second before the Fire user fly's past him and gains footing on the ledge of the second story before lunging at him.

Mecha-Man cocks his fist back before smashing the man ahead of him when he gets close enough to the point where the fire user is downed and Mecha-Man walks forward to pinpoint him before he's immediately struck back by the Fire users burst of energy and desperation so they can create distance as Mecha-Man goes flying through a support pillar, landing on his ass.

*THUD* the air vibrates due to Mecha man pushing away rubble that had him pinned, The Fire user flying past him a few feet away before Mecha-Man stands up.

Mecha-Man scans the mall before spotting a chunk of rubble come flying his way from the black smoke before activating the thrusters on his back to fly up in order to dodge before the Fire user is already in front of him, shoulder primed and ready as he tackles Mecha-Man into the ceiling before letting gravity do its job.

Mecha-Man lands on the floor before it immediately gives away dropping Mecha-Man into the basement level of the mall.

Mecha-Man drops, his suit groaning as he stands, looking around due to the Fire user flying around like the shark from Jaws before he manages to barely turn his body from being tackled once again, the Fire user zooming past, his flames tickling the metal of the Mech.

He continues his narrow misses, as if toying with Mecha-Man before he's hit by a back hand which makes them launch through a wall like wet cardboard before they're already getting back up.

Mecha-Man widens and lowers his stance, tensing up for immediate reaction before The now revealed Man simply walks toward him, When he's a few feet away he stops, wiping a trickle of blood from his mouth.

"Cool Down, and I won't have to hurt you." Mecha-Man says, the man now revealed to be Flambaé, the Fire user Villain raises a hand before thrusting it out, shooting a concentrated stream of fire at Mecha-Man who sprouts a shield from his forearm in response, struggling to keep it up due to the pressure of Flambés two handed attack, the Mech visually being forced back by the pressure.

"Wow, nice flames" a voice says seemingly out of nowhere, surprising the two before it rings out once more.

"-Blood Bind-" is all they hear before the flames stop abruptly.

"Agh!" A grunt of frustration rings out as Flambaé is bound in blood red binds and actively struggling against them as Mecha-Man stands straight, relaxed.

"I had that but thanks." He says to the teenager in white and purple robes, his face having three marks above his nose, two vertically, lining his eyelids and the other horizontally below them.

*Choso POV*

"And I have a shitty government name lasting three generations." I say as I smirk at the Mechs tensing before I throw the bound Flambaé at

Mecha-man, mouth clasped shut with my binding's.

"How old are you?" Mecha-man asks

"16, why?" I ask after plugging Flambaés ears with my blood, hardening it and making it act as ear plugs.

"You're way too young to be out here against villains, you're definitely not supposed to be here" he says, as I roll my eyes.

"Don't care, these guys are weak as shit, this one's the only one with actual potential" I say as I nod towards Flambaé.

"Still, you can't be out here playing hero when lives are at stake" he says as I sigh.

"Let's get something straight Robert." i say as I have Flambaés head in a bubble of blood, letting him breathe with precise holes on it, 1000% negating him hearing.

"I will not struggle against any Villain, ever, you better realize that because I'm not running around in a mech suit struggling against this Filet Mignon, your shield?, it's got burns in it, my blood? Not even slightly hot." I say as I walk up to his tensed, battle ready body.

"Who the fuck are you?" He says, cautious as I stop.

"Mm, fuck around and find out

Robby-boy" I say as I take a step and disappear from sight, leaving a small crater where I stood moments before.
