With Marie and Park both having gathered their energy back and in condition to move again, they decided it was best for them to scout the area. After all, Marie was worried that she was the first one to wake up, and seeing Park’s condition, she imagined others might be in the same state. The area was a complete mess, even more so than before. Pinner had perfectly set off his explosion in a way for the debris to fall to the floor to create separate areas, but after their opponents had used their Altered forms to cause a mass explosion, the entire area was filled with rubble, with even nearby buildings completely destroyed. “Over there,” Marie said as she sniffed the air, the only thing she could trust in this situation. A large pile of rubble along with cars was present, and the two started to move and shift things away until they could eventually see a hand holding onto a whip. Piling off the rest of the rubble, Marie could see the condition that Olvia was in. Several parts of her

Everything was set, the ring walks were done, and both of the contestants were in the ring. The cheering was nonstop from the crowd, especially after the interruption that had taken place only moments ago. Any second now, the bell would ring, signaling the fight. Gary went to his blue-colored corner of the cage while Harvor had gone down to his as well. Chen, in the crowd, remained still as he looked at both contestants. “We need to see what you’ve got, Gary Dem. You have to push Harvor as far as you can, and then I’ll decide whether to join in the fight or not.” The crowd was guessing in their minds how the fight would play out. Would Gary rush in from the get-go, using all of his strength to damage the other person as quickly as possible? Would he stay back, quiet and observing, trying to figure Harvor out, or would it be Harvor deciding to end this fight as quickly as possible? *RING *RING *RING.* The bell signaled, and the fight was on. Harvor had a big smirk on his

Unlike conventional fights of the past, AFC fights didn’t have rounds; they just continued going until there was an eventual winner. Their energy was beyond that of typical fighters, and giving one a chance to rest didn’t make much sense in a lot of Altered fight cases.Fights would either end very quickly or last a long time anyway. Yet it was quite clear that from the beginning the fight had picked up a gear. Harvor was throwing punches left and right, and Gary was avoiding them as he moved around the ring.In some cases, Gary had leapt back as Harvor delivered a kick. Gary could still feel the force of the kick through the wind, but he had avoided it completely. Only Harvor had been chasing him somewhat like a madman as he leapt over.He threw an overhand punch, and Gary had decided to move in at the same time, pushing his leg up off the ground. He delivered a strong hit, an uppercut right to Harvor’s chin.Gary followed up there, throwing an overhand, hitting him on the head, push

The night sky was out covering the whole city. With it being a fairly large city, various places were still lit up with LEDs on the outside of buildings, some displaying various advertisements or just signs of what the type of buildings were in the city to begin with.But, on the outskirts of the city, in mostly an open field that was at the edge of a forest, there were no sparkling LEDs that were lit up. Instead, there were several large white floodlights located out on the concrete ground.The floodlights were based in front of a large metallic building which from the outside just looked like a warehouse. There were a few of these large metallic buildings spread around the area, but there was one that was larger than the others, and had a large number of people stationed on the outside, all dressed in purple and white clothing.At the edge of the forest, a few meters away from the very last trees, there were two people who were taking a peek at the location once in a while.“I’m gue

Elijah couldn’t help but feel his legs shaking as he looked at the sheer number of people inside. Being part of White Rose, it wasn’t as if he had never come across this situation before. In fact, even his time with Gary had put him in situations like this one, but one could tell that this was different.Just outside, fighting a few of the Altered, Elijah could tell this was different. It wasn’t tier 2 or 3 gang members who had Altered forms and didn’t know how to deal with them.This was the One Gang, a tier 1 city, one of the Kings, and one who was the champion of the AFC. Nearly every single person that was in this warehouse was a trained fighter, and they looked to be all Altered.‘With how many Altered are here… was Harvor preparing for some type of war or something?’ Elijah thought, and already many members were starting to transform. Groups of them were appearing.Wasting no time, Ice had formed in his hand a giant Ice pillar. After it was created, he held it with both of his h
