That thing right in front of Gary was practically a large beast that he would have expected to find in those special lessons he had attended at the AFA. Haze’s current form was frighteningly powerful and was using advanced skills such as web-based shooting from its mouth, as well as strange green acid it could produce. According to the rules and the contracts that Gary had signed before his match, certain skills weren't allowed to be used in AFC matches. Although not specifacally named as such, the teenager understood that they referred to those type of elementalized attacks like Jayden’s windstrike, which was also the reason why the Altered fighter had never publicly shown that ability of his. Altered were only allowed to showcase the powers that were naturally part of their body, like the pincers in Haze’s mouth, or Gary’s sharp claws. Unfortunately, at this point in time, rules seemed to be out of the window. As long as nobody interfered, the Crazed Altered was free to use whatev

The room was filled with journalists, bloggers, and the press. Each of them with their devices ready to capture every moment that was to be said. There was big news to be displayed and things to talk about.Gary had taken a seat on a stage with a table in front of him. By his side was Eddie. There were two microphones in front of him. On the other table, there was meant to be Haze and his coach, but only his coach was sitting at his table for obvious reasons.Standing in the centre, though, was a bald-headed man in a bright white suit. It was shining like a wedding dress and wasn't something one would typically wear to these types of conferences.This man was Buzz Tole. He was one of the PR managers for the AFC, and he was known for always standing out with his bright white suit."Everyone, before this press conference begins, I have to warn you that you are to stick to questions regarding the fighters themselves, the actual fight itself, and not what occurred after the fight," Buzz a

The surprise party for Gary had been cancelled. After what happened, when he returned to Slough, the others assumed that he would want to rest most of all. He had arrived at the apartment building block in Cipen. It was in the upscale end of Slough, and the block of apartments he was staying at was where his sister, White, and Crawley were staying. Before driving off and leaving Gary be, Tyler handed over two sets of keys. “What’s this for?” Gary asked. “Kai told me to hand them off to you.” Tyler answered. “One is your apartment. It's on the top floor, you have the entire floor to yourself. It's been renovated with some funds. He tried his best to decorate it for you, and try to make it feel like home.”It was strange to hear those words, for a while now Gary felt like he didn’t have a home. There was still the apartment block he lived in with his mother, but it was quite clear why he could no longer live there. The security was lax and Gary had become a big name in Slough and ou

As Kai had expected the reporters had managed to gather quite a bit of information on Gary. First, it was the fact that his sponsor was the Howlers. Research into the Howlers had come out, and information about them being a gang was broadcasted. Internet articles, TV reports and more. With this, rumours came about claiming that Gary might have been forced to leave the AFC, in order to help out the gang more. However, more information started to come about. Those that lived in Slough started to write about how much better life has been since the Howlers had taken over. This seemed bizarre to those from the outside. How could a gang make them feel safer, it just made no sense. Soon, it was revealed that Gary Dem was also a person that worked with the Howlers to invest heavily in the town of Slough. Using his money for improvements in multiple areas. He had multiple projects he was running at the same time. A lot started to think this was the reason why Gary had left, because he wish

There were a number of times where Gary wished to tell his sister the truth. The two of them, although maybe not as close with each other as best friends were, were still quite close as a family. Both of them had gone through a lot, with their father leaving them and sharing a room together. They hardly ever complained about it, because they always knew their mother was trying her best, so in their own way they would constantly help each other out. No matter what situation the other was in, they both knew that they would try their damned hardest to help the other, and Gary had done so on a particular occasion. Although he had at times told parts, he had never explained the whole thing, leaving her to fill in her own gaps. Now he had summoned up the will to tell her the truth, and that included finding out what he really was.“Amy… there is a lot I need to tell you, and for all of it to make sense, I should start at the beginning. Over the summer school holidays, in order to help th
