The situation was rough all over the place, in the areas of Cipen and Burnham. The two areas seemed to be under attack, not just from the hired gangs from the surrounding areas, those after bounties, but even the Phoenix Gang themselves had finally come out.In the middle of all of this mess, Kai was trying to get a handle on the situation, and now he was being called to the hospital in Cipen. It wasn’t too far from where he was and was within the protected area, so he decided to just run there.When traveling fast, it was easiest for him to transform into his wolf form. Doing this, he would take off his black and gold blazer jacket and wrap it around his waist, leaving his chest bare.There wasn’t much he could do with his trousers, but due to the special material, they stretched out anyway and returned relatively back to normal after transformation.In his wolf form, he was running between alleys as fast as he could.‘Who is at the hospital that wants to see me, that can help out wi
The conversation between Kai and Dean seemed to be leaking out bigger secrets than he would like, and it seemed the two of them would need to have a further conversation than he originally thought. Getting here, he imagined himself just leaving instantly.“Xin, can you make sure Gary’s family is alright, protect them at all costs, I know you can do it,” Kai asked without even turning to look at her. Instead, his eyes were just fixed on the large man in front of him.“I will,” Xin answered, knowing it was her cue to leave, she knew this by the fact that she didn’t understand everything that was being said. When she headed back into the room, there was a thought lingering in her mind.‘Is Gary still hiding something from me, something bigger than being a gang leader.’ It was a crazy thought to have, but with his family turning up like so, it might very well have been the case.Kai started to walk over, heading into one of the empty VIP rooms; he was sure it wouldn’t be empty for long. H
Surprisingly, it was just as Dean had stated, the attacks on Slough including Cipen and Burnham had started to slow down as it got later in the night. If Kai had a clear mind, he would have noticed it as well.Even their attackers had to sleep at some point. Although they were large in number in terms of fighting power, they were all used to their own routine, so they couldn’t just attack non-stop.Still, there were the smaller groups and such that were still making trouble, which was why some gang members still had to keep guard in certain areas, but it gave Kai the opportunity to do what was needed.A text message was sent out to the core members, and through them, it was sent out to the squad leaders, those like Park.The squad leaders that had been picked were quite loyal, but the other thing was they had mostly already been turned into Altered. Reward for their loyalty, the syringes they had been able to get their hands on they had used. So they now had to go based on their recom
The words of Dean may have sounded powerful and just, but when looking at Kevin and the others around, Kai began to notice something, a large pattern within the group. The truth was that a lot of the Howlers Gang and those loyal to the cause were young.They were those who had just come out of school, not going to university. Some of them had even dropped out of high school to pursue joining a gang. This was the norm, but Kai didn’t want their gang to be like the norm.Due to the size of the Howlers and how large it had gotten, he was unable to keep a close eye on everything that was going on.‘All of them, even those like Kevin, are prepared to fight to their death. As those responsible at these times, we have to make a decision for them as well, when we can see they're being unreasonable.’“You are too young to make your own choices,” Kai said directly to Kevin.After saying those words, there was a huge look of disappointment on Kevin’s face, and Dean’s hand even slipped away, beca
MWS ChapterThe first one out of all of those currently there had volunteered himself for the task, was none other than Tyler.“I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready,” Tyler continuously repeated, his teeth chattering away.“You don’t have to do this, you know?” Kai said. He felt kind of bad based on how Tyler was acting, as if he was doing something against a person’s will.“Just do it as quickly as possible, alright? Whatever it is, as you know, I’m scared of needles,” Tyler explained.The thing was, a needle wasn’t exactly what would be happening. Before meeting up with the others, Kai had gotten information from Dean on how they were meant to turn others under their control.If it was something as simple as a bite mark, then they would be doomed, he stated. Wolf’s mouths were one of their weapons, and they wouldn’t turn everyone they fought with into one of them.It was a feeling; one had to harness the energy from above and try to surge the energy in their body. The same energy they fe
Marie was staring at the body on the floor, and everyone in the room had frozen for a moment. Some were just about to get bit by Olivia or Kai, but now they were busy looking at the dead person on the ground.Lifeless. Being in the industry they were in, there were times where they had seen people sent to the hospital or a death happened right in front of their eyes, but it was usually in the middle of a struggle.For this, it was a person that just wanted to change something. Someone who wanted to do better and help the town, and now they had lost their life at a young age.All of these thoughts were going through Marie’s head as well. Immediately, Kai had stopped what he was doing and picked up the body; he walked out of the tent. As he carried the body, he was moving it to the tent next to the one that was set up.A tent with doctors and nurses on standby to try to help whatever was going to happen, but as Kai carried the body, he didn’t have a lot of hope.‘Damn it, damn it all! T
It was a long night for the people in Slough. Although they felt safer in the areas of Burnham and Cipen, what they had gone through was frightening for them. For most of the general public, it brought them back to the days when the Underdogs were in control.Frightening things like this would happen from time to time, but hardly to this level. It was the first time that such an attack had occurred on such a wide scale. When they tried to sleep, they couldn’t help but wake up every hour, worried about what could happen to them.The truth was that the two areas were holding out well. There were a couple of attacks here and there, but those that were awake had managed to fend off the areas, and finally, the sun started to rise again.Crowley stood in front of the blockade of cars in one of the areas of Slough, looking out at the street in front of him. It was partly destroyed due to the fighting that was happening before.Park, one of the squad leaders in the Howlers, had come running o
Crowley was ready as he stared out. Was it going to be another wave of the lower-tier gangs out here to get them, or would the Phoenix Gang feel like they had done enough? There was always a limit to wearing a group down.As they successfully would defend from more and more attacks, the morale of the Howlers would grow with strength as they would start to believe they could actually win the fight. It was the perfect time, just now as the public were starting to feel safe, to crush their morale.‘It looks like I was right,’ Crowley thought, looking ahead. ‘This is the turn in the fight, where we really need to start to show our might.’A habit of Crowley was his rhyming schemes; it was something that he did unconsciously when he was nervous. It was why when he was teaching the AFA students just before the special lessons he would go into rhyme.Seeing the army of those in dark red clothing, walking down the street was worrying. There was a group of what looked like 25. It was clearly n
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
