Originally, Austin thought it was time for him and Vlad to part. After all, he had already stayed at his house, and gotten a lot of information from him, but what he was looking to do would be extremely dangerous, especially for a normal person like Vlad. However, when he and Killer had split up, Austin had made a simple mistake, how was he meant to find Killer? Without Killer, then he wouldn’t be able to find the gang or where this underground fight was going to be. Which was why, once again, Austin was waiting outside the school Vlad went to. While waiting, he couldn't help but continue to think about the Shadow fighter. ‘The Shadow Fighter was fast and nimble, and skilled at fighting a bit like Innu. Only the movements were faster and tried to hit vital points that would do more damage. Judging from the small frame the Shadow Fighter didn’t have a lot of strength. Which just makes it more impressive because usually those types would be scared.’ The other thing that came to mind
At first Herbert had smiled at Killer thinking that this was some type of joke, but Killer was acting awfully sheepishly since he had arrived, and it was even hard for him to maintain eye contact. ‘What the hell happened to this kid, he was my golden goose!’ Herbert thought. ‘He had this perfect wild side to him that would allow him to do anything. A strange confidence as if he could take on the world, and now look at him. ‘He’s even more shook up than when he lost to that shadow fighter. It took me a while to teach him the skills and bring his confidence back up, and now it’s been shattered again.’ Turning to look at Austin, he could see he was well built for his age. Although he was a young teen about to become an adult, he already had the body of a well established adult that had been working out for at least ten years. Herbert knew that a body wasn't everything though. There were plenty of big guys that looked good and would lose in the fight. “Well, if you're all I've got, t
The horror was setting in for Vlad and Austin that were watching the underground fight. They had just seen the contestant Muddy stab Sharkey in his side with a type of knife. The thing was, both of these guys were just teenangers who were still in school. What was even more shocking was that not a single person had batted an eyelid. They continued to cheer and shout and the fight looked like it was going to continue on despite the large injury.The two of them were learning the reality of how the gangs and those that wished to join operated, because it didn’t look like Killer was shocked at all by this, and now it was starting to make some sense why he was practising how to use a weapon. “Ah!” One of the five girls that were watching by the side screamed, lifting her hands up, to cover her face, while her red pigtails swung in the air, as she swung her head side to side.“Dora, it's just a bit of blood.” Rence said, kissing her teeth. She was tired that her sister Dora would have th
The sisters' reactions off to the side were mixed, as some had raised eyebrows, smiles on their faces and generally just curious looks. It was the first time they had seen something like this, someone trying to disturb one of their events. In the past, they had heard stories of things like this happening before, but due to what had occurred, there weren't many experiences after that.“Who is this f*cker who decided to enter the ring!” One of the other gang leader’s shouted. In particular the one that was in charge of Muddy was the most vocal. “Hey, the match is still going on, someone get this guy out of here, who brought him here.” From the side, Herbert was giving Killer a glance of death. There was no way, in front of all these angry gang members, he was going to admit that he had brought this person along, and he was trying to tell Killer to shut up as well. It was best to just let everything take its course.Muddy, ran across to pick up his weapon that had been slapped out o
In the centre of the ring, Vlad had to do a double take as he pinched the side of his cheek, he had pinched relatively hard that it started to turn a shade redder, but it was clear that this wasn’t a dream, the Shadow Fighter was in the ring, and was standing relatively close next to Austin. The others had stopped their advance for a second at the notice of a surprise guest entering the ring. “Who the heck is the superhero that’s entered the ring!” One of the gang members shouted. Although the Shadow Fighter was well known among the high schools and those that attended the schools, the same wasn’t true for the upper gangs of the city. The Shadow Fighter hardly got involved in any of their misdoings.It was the first time they had seen the Shadow Fighter appear in an event like this. One of the men, who were closest in the ring, was still afraid of the brute strength from the Big Mask, so the man decided to go right after the new fighter. ‘With that small of a frame, and that stupi
The mini underground fighting tournament was taking place in the middle of several hills. They had found a nice low point that covered the area well, but due to its tricky terrain, people had to do one of two things to get to the location. One, either park their car on a flattened area, that wasn’t so much covered in grass and mud, and had a little gravel instead or, take their motorbikes. In most cases, a car was a great luxury for those in a tier 4 city in the first place, which was why most of the gang members opted for the latter choice. However, one group of people had arrived by car, the Scavengers' daughters. After being told by Vixen, their guard, the sisters hurried to the vehicle and rushed off with their driver. Due to the tough terrain they were driving relatively slow through the hills. The car hadn’t travelled far, when the driver had noticed the car tilting to one side, and struggling to go up the hill. The warning signals coming up on the dashboard had confirmed his
Riding on the stolen motorbikes, Austin could see that there wasn't anyone chasing them, and the shadow fighter was leading the way, but as he saw there were no pursuers, he suddenly slammed on the brakes after escaping the hilly areas and was now on the road. The loud screech from the tires and brakes caused the shadow fighter to turn around. They could see Austin just there in the middle of the road, and the fighter known as Sharkey was still hanging on with his arms around his back. “What’s wrong?” The shadow fighter asked, pulling up right next to Austin. “Vlad, I left that damned kid back there. That Killer guy and his boss, they know that he came with me. Who knows what they're going to do to him. I have to go back and get him.” Ausitn said, twisting the throttle of the bike, revving it up. “Wait!” The shadow fighter shouted. “It’s already too late. The backup from the Scavengers gang will have already arrived by now, and if you go back, how are you going to deal with that p
With the fee sorted at the hospital, there wasn't much Austin could do, and just hanging around wouldn't change anything. He did have a few words with the doctor from before who agreed that no matter who came through that door, that they would pretend that they had never received such a patient. ‘Money can really change people, huh, I wonder what exactly Kai said to that guy.’ Austin thought, as he looked at the card he had received from the shadow fighter. ‘I can’t head to Vlad’s place, not without him, and if I stay around here, I’m sure those gang members will come looking for him. I’m not afraid of going toe to toe with them, but that’s going to get me nowhere.’ Right now, strangely the only lead and person he could somewhat trust in this new city that could help him in this situation was the shadow fighter. Putting the location in on his phone, he was on his way. The night sky was still out and it was a little past midnight, a part of Austin felt like he should maybe message
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
