Once again Gary’s words had startled them. Due to the way it was said, it seemed he had said them with conviction. This was truly the last chance he was giving them to leave now and not fight against them. “Shut up!” One of the workers shouted. “Look at how many of us there are and how many of them they have. Remember what the boss said. For each member that is taken out, we will get to keep 10 percent of the profits for one month at this place. You will never have to work or lift a finger in your life if you take these guys out.” The greed seemed to have gotten to them, as all of them started to rush in toward the Howlers group. With his head down, Gary shook it in disappointment. “I gave you one chance. I never wanted to go down this route, but you were the ones that forced me.” Gary left where he was and suddenly appeared right in front of the gang members, one swung his bat down, but had hit nothing but the ground and the next moment his whole head had been grabbed by Gary.
The Altered students along with Austin had all arrived in the main gambling hall. They had quickly transformed and were beginning to make quick work of those that were in front of them. However, Izzy hadn't transformed but she was still beyond skilled enough to take on those that were in front of her. As the fighting went on though, everyone noticed something. The fighting seemed endless, when looking up, there looked to be the same amount of people in the room as there were before. On top of that, these weren’t your regular gang members. Everyone had to stay vigilant because of the others' skills. If they were to relax for a moment or so, or make a small mistake they would pay the price, and having been hit a few times already due to them breaking concentration, they knew this was true. ‘We can’t keep fighting like this.’ Izzy thought, as she attempted to slow down her breathing and control it a little more. ‘Although these members are skilled, one can tell that they are just cann
Although the casino was run by a gang, it nevertheless followed the town’s safety regulations, meaning that aside from the one main entrance, it also had multiple emergency exits in case of a fire. In his head, Blake had convinced himself that he was merely using the fight between the Howlers and the Scatterbugs as an opportunity to hunt the Altered who had come into ‘his territory.’ To make it clear that he was in no way associated with the Howlers, the Altered Hunter had chosen against travelling with the others. He had come here via his trusty motorbike and chose to use the confusion the Howler’s entrance created to get further into the building.Wearing the special Altered Hunter mask, Blake had an easier time locating Altered, and it was what brought him to the location he was in. Without hesitation, when he was in the hall of private rooms and could see the Altered in front of him, Blake lifted the motorbike so all the weight was on the back of the well lifting the front end an
Although Blake didn’t say anything when faced with the accusation of working together with the Howlers, he nevertheless began feeling slightly concerned. True or not, but if rumours started spreading that there was some type of connection between the two, things were bound to become difficult for him and the gang. Normal gangs might ignore it, but higher tier gangs, perhaps even the Kings might become interested in finding out if there was some truth to that, and Gary and co were definitely not ready for that.Even worse, the Altered Hunters might also send their men to find out what led to those rumours, and start questioning Blake. Should they find out about Gary and other gang members being Werewolves, it also wouldn’t end well for them.‘I guess this just means that I can’t let him live, not that I was planning on that in the first place!” Blake thought to himself as he threw his black leather jacket toward the Altered. His opponent sliced it up, but through the large cuts he coul
In the main hall of the casino, the civilians had moved over to the sides, hiding behind the tables. Most of them had simply come to Notsburg to enjoy some gambling, but who could have guessed that they would end up in between two gangs. Even those sent over from gangs feared for their lives as they hid behind slot machines, or ran off into the hallways if they got the chance. Alas, it seemed nigh impossible to really escape the fight. Even if they managed to find some peace and quiet for a short moment, the next moment a burly man could come flying through the air. Those less fortunate would end up colliding with the slow machines, coughing up blood everywhere. It was hard for the onlookers to get a full grasp of what was going on, as the casino was filled with Scatterbugs members who were trying their best to dog pile on top of the gang members, yet somehow they were the only ones getting injured from what they could tell, despite the numerical advantage.“How is this possible?!”
Back in Slough, the heart rate monitor in one of the hospital room private rooms started to pick up speed. According to the doctors, the patient lying there would wake up in due time. His vitals were strong and once he fully healed he would be back to normal. However, even the doctors would be surprised as the rate Kai was getting better.After the introduction of Altered, doctors and other medical staff would learn how to take care of them. In essence, they were like super humans with fast recovery times, but Kai was not an Altered. His body, after receiving the energy he needed had begun healing himself, starting with his vital wounds.The heart rate machine started to beat faster, his heart rate was rising, and eventually while lying in bed his eyes opened. Immediately Kai sat up right gasping for air, sweat on his forehead. ‘What…what was that?’ Kai wondered as he grabbed his chest, followed by his chin. Although his brain wasn’t awake enough to process what had happened to him,
Standing on the other side of the door, Gary hadn’t pushed it open immediately. He had been running around the casino for a while, searching for the leader of the Scatterbugs. However, during his search, he had only found insignificant people. Staff managers in charge of the casino had attempted to stop him, but the Werewolf had dealt with them quickly, to the point that it had barely slowed him of. All of this, though, had made him aware that the absence of the higher-ups wasn’t a coincidence. Then, when he found the elaborate door, he had heard the breaths of many people inside.‘I can smell him, and I can sense him as well. There’s another Werewolf on the other side.’ Gary thought. ‘The person who did that to Kai, who placed him up like that on the show for everyone to see. Slough, the town was meant to be a safe place for us Howlers, but while I was away, this damned Werewolf came in and did that. To a member of the Howlers, to a member of my Pack!’With the anger and rage build
Any second now, Gary was ready to charge in, but he just didn't know what the best way to do it was. Was Slith going to let the Altered attack him first, if so, during the fight Gary would be able to eat on them for Energy as he took them down one by one. The problem was, the other Werewolf was present and would most likely know what he was planning on doing. If that was the case, maybe he should just use his Full Transformation to take out Slith with a pounce attack to shock all the others, then head for the other Werewolf. In the end, all of his planning was for nothing, because he had never expected what happened next, Midwak, the one that seemed to be the right-hand man of Slith, ended up killing him right in front of everyone.“Why are you all so surprised?” Midwak asked, as he placed one foot on the desk, and held up Slith by his head. Those present in the room could all see that there was no life left in those eyes. “You all knew that I was stronger than him, that I'm strong
Xin had already expended a lot of energy in her Altered form, and holding her breath during her combat had worn her out quite a bit. Her single wing sticking out from her back was still there, but the lightning power that sparked from it was dwindling.“Big guy, be careful; this one’s tough,” Xin commented.Austin stood strong, looking at Gil getting up on his feet. As he did, Gil’s body muscles were flexing in and out. The smoke that was lingering from his body was starting to grow as well.“I know. I hit him with a pretty big shot, and I know I’m not weak,” Austin replied.After just getting back out from the hospital and recovering, the first thing Austin didn’t expect was that he was going to have to get into a fight, but from a single look, he could tell this person was strong.Not wasting any time, he had jumped out of the window and knew what he needed to do.“You're a bigger hitter than me, so I’m going to have to support you!” Xin said.As soon as she finished her sentence, G
With Xin being who she was, she had faced many different types of Altered, but going up against Gil was the most unique one yet. For one, he was a rare Mythical type. These had great power and a chance of great elemental ability as well.Not only that, but she had seen something somewhat unique to an Altered which she hadn’t seen before. The fact that Gil was able to transform his body, and in doing so, it affected his powers.Being large in size, he was strong and durable, while being smaller in size he had incredible speed. It was because of these transformations that Xin had felt like she had already seen it all.They had been fighting for a while now, so he had to have used either his partial or full transformation. There was nothing left for him to show, with no surprises, it was time for her to finish off the fight herself.The one wing that extended out from her back, the same size as a hand, was covered in yellow sparks that continually went off. They were condensed in size, g
Sparks from Xin’s Altered form couldn't stop flying off from her body. The strange hardened feathers constantly were shooting off small bolts of energy from one to the other. Even just standing still, her elemental power was activating.“You think things are going to change just because your appearance is now a little different!” Gil shouted as he lifted both of his hands up, locking them together. He was in his large form, having shifted from the smaller one.Doing so allowed him to pick up more strength than he usually would. The attack was going to be a big one. Gil’s hands smashed against the ground, and the whole building started to shake again.The people from above fell from their seats. Shelves tumbled down from the vibration, and it looked like the building was warping from within itself. However, the shaking had eventually stopped.With it stopping, the people on the second floor could see that they were now okay, and it was the same for Amy and White, who were close to the
The message sent out by Kai was heard loud and clear by everyone in the Howlers, and some of them took it to heart. Instead of trying to win their fights, they now were trying to last as long as possible.Raven had transformed his body; large heads had appeared and were in the air. Numba had been picked up by one of the Hydra Altered’s heads, its teeth biting down on his stomach and flinging him to the side until he hit a wall.“This Altered’s strength is crazy; does he have the same strength in each head?” Numba thought as he tried to get back up.Charging in were both Marie and Olivia at the same time. They struck from two sides, trying to hit the heads, but weren’t fully committing. They were carefully waiting for a strike and moved from side to side.Marie had avoided attacks from one of the Hydra’s long winding heads, while Olivia, as she jumped back, swung her hands and used her whip. It was effective in hitting the Hydra, but she didn’t dare try to wrap it around its head due t
There were a lot of decisions to make with the new stats and pawn points that Gary had managed to achieve, and it was best if he used them now because at any moment, he felt like something was coming.The fight against Ice was far tougher than the fight against the North and the South leader, but all of this was for more to come.‘First, I will allocate the stat points,’ Gary thought as he tapped his system, giving himself a few points in two areas.The first was his endurance.[Endurance 88 >>> 90]‘The strength difference at every ten is increased, but as the numbers get higher, the difference isn’t felt as much. Either way, as I’m fighting tougher enemies like that of Ice, Endurance seems to be a big factor in getting hurt less.’[Dexterity 82 >>> 85]‘With that, rather than being able to hit harder, I need to be able to hit more and get my attacks in, so I’ll increase my dexterity.’As for the pawn points, Gary then went ahead and used two of them on his health. Each pawn point at
---The final plan that Carter had, to try and turn those who had allied up against each other, had failed. Carter already knew about Ice’s past; there wasn’t much he could do with that.He was one of the few prisoners who knew what they had done. Through the extent of his own powers in a clash, he had killed those around him that had no involvement. He wanted to stay in the prison, but he suddenly had a change of heart.Then, there was Blackjack, the first man Carter was unable to get any information about, so he only had Gary, and now even that hadn’t worked.“What were you going to do?” Gary asked as he moved forward. “I bet if I was in here, and the Phoenix Gang wasn’t already targeting me, you would threaten my friends, my family, that are on the outside.”“You are a cruel person in this place; those that are already trapped, you force them to do your bidding by trapping them even more in this place. I can safely say that you are a person that I don’t mind getting rid of.”Gary n
---In the center of the prison, many had backed away from Ice standing in the middle. He felt like an unstoppable giant. No matter what attacks landed on him, they barely left a mark; if they did, it was almost as if it didn't affect him at all.His giant club was hitting the physical-type Altereds and overpowering them with his strength. Even those that were fast and could get closer were affected by his strong ice powers.He could block attacks with his ice, freeze those who came close to him, and create a number of unique attacks of his own. When a group of prisoners approached him, he slammed his foot on the ground. Ice grew from the floor in several sharp spikes, piercing those who took a step too far."What are we meant to do, Stinger? This guy is too strong!" one of the prisoners exclaimed.They looked around, waiting for an answer, but the prisoners themselves were struggling to even see Stinger. That was because he had hidden himself among the crowd of prisoners, waiting for
Blackjack was on the move to the North side. He was quickly going past the Altereds that were trying to attack him, ducking and weaving through them all at a fast speed. At one point, he leaned back, and one of the prisoners accidentally attacked another.‘It’s a good lucky day today, I knew it would all go well today.’ Blackjack smiled as he progressed further and deeper inside. As he finally got near the end, he threw out the last of his cards.They came out sharp, hitting four of his opponents on the head, causing them to fall to the floor, and that’s when he could see Calvin sitting on the floor, healing one of the prisoners.“Calvin, it has been a while, right?” Blackjack asked. “I’m surprised to see that you teamed up with the South Group. After going against them for so long, it resorted to this.” “I had invited you several times to join my side,” Calvin stated. “I had even healed your body after the fight with the Warden, and yet you still refused. So what else was I supposed
The fight continued with all three of them continuing to fight against the Altereds coming their way. Although most of them were relatively easy to deal with, there were a few tough ones.Those that knew how to fight either waited for the right time to strike and got a good hit in or were harder than just a single hit or two to take out. When this was the case, Gary would use one of his skills.He would use his Lethal Pounce, Claw Drain, and even once in a while, he even used his Claw Strike to attack them from surprise. When this was used, it seemed like next to no one could stop it.Blackjack had been keeping an eye on things that were happening around him, and when this happened, he would focus on just avoiding blows that he was able to do with ease.‘Is he conserving his strength?’ Blackjack thought. ‘That’s surprising. I don’t see many Werewolves fight like that. Is it because he’s worried about when he has to go up against the Warden? No, that can’t be it.’With a keener eye, Bl
