"But, skates aren't this fast! How are you doing this?!", asked Seonghwah as he adjusted himself a bit on Enzo's back.
"Dude, normal people are so behind us in technology that we don't even consider the latest phones actually new!"
"So, why don't you sell this tech of yours?"
"Well, you just can't meet the demand with this kind of technology. Am I wrong?"
"Yeah, you aren't wrong but-"
"Focus on the mission right now!", Enzo admonished him.
As they were cruising at a really high speed through the roads of what was swiftly progressing into a bustling city, Seonghwah spotted the place where the fire had broken out, and it was devastating.

The blacksmith was toying with a set of small finger bones hanging on her battle axe, she was caressing them in her hands which had been roughened by thirteen continuous years of forging metal parts for her master's wondrous machines. She had tried a lot to make him like her as a lover, but when she finally realised that he didn't love her back; she just started to work for him to take care of his one true love, technology. She was trying to remember her son whom she had lost in a plane hijacking case just fourteen years ago, a year before she had found her true purpose in working for her master. She was using all of her brain power to try and remember his face but it didn't come to her mind, and then her mind was pulled out of her reverie by the entry of two of the young nuisances that her master had warned her about.

"Kay then, Wanna start the party bro!?", asked Enzo who had just let Seonghwah down from his back. Seonghwah was seeing Enzo's super suit, it was just awe inspiring in his eyes. The suit had a white t-shirt and normal black trousers topped with a really long tuxedo that looked like a long coat or cloak with two golden buttons. But, the real deal were the heavy black and gold gauntlets on his hands that looked something from a rich knight's armour and the casual sneakers on his feet that doubled as hyper-speed skates. His hair was ruffled and windswept after the long high speed skating but still immaculate, it gave him an elite spy or brawler like look on the whole. Then he turned his head towards the direction Enzo was facing, and then he saw her…

"Where did Enzo go?", said Xinyue as she was speeding through a town in her car,"This guy never seems to stop irritating me."
"Well, Xinyue I really think you should just calm down and-", started Vaidehi through a communicator on Xinyue's dashboard but Xinyue cut her mid-sentence.
"How, am I supposed to do that?! He is always goofing off on missions, never waits for us and never in our currently short time together, have I seen him fight seriously for once; I mean, who puts on music before chasing a thief!", said an exasperated Xinyue.
"Calm down, girls. We have to focus on getting to that fire and finding those two!", said Kai.
"Who two? Aren't we just trying to find Enzo?", said Vaidehi.
"Seriously, no one noticed that Seonghwah is also missing!", said Kai.

Seonghwah stared in absolute horror at the woman who had been chasing him just two days ago, came in his sight. She was just like he had seen her last time, too tall and muscular to physically overpower and just too instinctively sharp to run from. She was sitting on a simple wooden chair which was damp with someone's blood and she was right there, sitting with a battle axe in her lap, staring at them through her hawk-like amber eyes. She suddenly let out an oddly deep sigh and stood up from the chair upto her full height. He was simply stunned with fear by her colossal stature and had almost lost all hope of ever becoming a hero when all of a sudden and without warning, Enzo snapped his fingers and the huge villain slipped so badly that she almost did a split!
"Whoo, doggy bro! That was one of the hardest falls I have ever caused!", Enzo exclaimed.
"Huh? You did that?!", asked Seonghwah.
"Yup"
The blacksmith then got up and drove the pole of her battle axe into the ground, "By the grace of the blood weaver, I, the blacksmith of the high fang; swear to end your lives, puny younglings.", and then she charged.
"Come at me woman", Enzo said as he took up his signature stance.
Seonghwah thought that Enzo was going to be run through with the battle axe when Enzo diverted the forceful attack of the axe with a simple parry with the gauntlet in his left hand. They were fighting like two wild beasts, one was constantly attacking with her a battle axe and the other was defending with undeterred audacity. When Seonghwah thought that Enzo will keep on defending till the other members came, he heard a sudden snap of Enzo's fingers and the next thing he knew, The blacksmith had been driven straight into the ground and Enzo was punching her right in the abdomen. Blood came out of her mouth but she didn't yield. She grabbed Enzo's punching hand, not caring about the sharp knuckles on the gauntlet that pierced her whole palm and then threw him straight onto his back with a sickening crunch. She then got up and looked at Seonghwah, wiped a stray drop of blood from her lips and started to run towards Seonghwah without any weapon.
