Judging by how strong this group was, and the fact that all of them were Altered, Gary had an inkling that they had to be from NIRV. He took Kai’s warning well, and knew the dangers of the large corporation. Just thinking about it, nearly all of the top fighters in the AFC were from the AFA, and the very best were put through the special lessons that Gary had gone through, which meant they had signed an agreement. Even those like himself that were no longer part of the AFC, due to the contract, would have to work for NIRV If they called on them. This was just one of the things that NIRV did that made them so dangerous. If they saw his face, they might target and even attempt to eliminate Slough, so he had no choice but to activate his full transformation.[Full transformation activated]Gary’s face quickly changed, creating a large snout, his eyes sinking in slightly deeper, and fur appearing all over his body were visible. His clothing was already somewhat torn up from his transfo
Standing by the door, Killer just stared at the man and the woman who was next to him, who were both wearing masks. They weren’t wearing any playful masks, but the same medical masks that Gary and Big Mask had been wearing when they first came in. At this point, it had already become a realisation that all of those that wore this type of mask, probably belonged to the same type of people. “Look, I really don't want any trouble, I’m just following the order of Big Mask. Pease can I stop getting hit, and my life threatened.” Killer said. Of course, the two of them had no clue who Big Mask was, so it made no sense for them, but with Kai taking a peek past the open door, he could see a full werewolf boy in action. “Olivia, you head inside and help the boss out.” Kai said. “But don’t transform and don’t use your whip.” Kai was still being very cautious about the whole situation. They had an auction to go to, and now really wasn't the time for them to be making enemies. Unfortunately,
A new quest had landed in front of Gary during a difficult time, but not only that but it was the first of its kind he had ever received before. A temporary skill was in his possession, it was somewhat giving him a taste of his powers. Looking around him, he knew the voice had come from Kai, and he could see Olivia by his side as well. With all of them, it was most likely that they could take down this new strike force, but was it worth it? ‘In situations like this, I have to trust that Kai is the one with a much calmer head on his shoulders!’ Gary thought.One of the retrievers was going for Olivia, and she seemed to be struggling a bit, running in close, Gary activated his skill. [Lethal pounce]He jumped to the side avoiding one of the other retrievers and then landed, jumping right on one of them before they rushed to attack another.“All of you!” Gary shouted. “Listen to what he said, get out of here now, and I’ll hold the rest of them back.”Olivia had only arrived, and she w
Even though the attack had come out from his own hands, Gary was left staring at it. He couldn't believe what had just happened; the attack he had just used was unlike any of the other attacks he had before.‘This... What was that? It's almost like one of those powers that the different Altered have.’ Gary thought. In particular, he was thinking of the attack Jayden was able to produce, but his Altered form had given him some type of power of the wind.This didn’t feel like a wind attack; it felt like the energy that would usually be in his body had come out from his literal fingertips. Not only that, but the radius of the attack was even larger than his whole hand, allowing him to make a larger wound just like he had done on the Altered.The retriever was on the floor, its wings on its back had been ripped apart, its body was shaking as it was attempting to get up but was unable to do so. Kon and the group had no clue what to do, meanwhile, Elijah himself was stunned.“Get out of her
Kon and his group had finished making the call to NIRV, and he didn't have the best expression on his face. The others could tell based on his whole demeanor that they weren't happy that they were unable to finish the job and that they needed support.However, Kon didn't care; he cared about his team more than he did NIRV. With the car off in the distance, the group decided that they had to head back inside."Is the S-rank retriever coming to this city?" one of them asked."Yes, when he arrives, he will be here to support us. NIRV doesn't want any of what happened today getting out, and they want us to find out who was behind the real attack," Kon replied. "While we're waiting, it's best if we do research into just what the goal was for those guys."It didn't make much sense to the retrievers, apart from one thing they had witnessed: one of them going ahead and collecting the Altered solutions. The most likely answer at the moment was that they were competitors of NIRV who had hired a
Inside the minivan, there wasn't much talk among those who were inside. Everything that had happened felt somewhat like a dream. It was unbelievable what they had gone through and what they were going through now.Looking outside the window, the workers were saying their goodbyes to the city that they had spent most of their lives in, and strangely, Killer, along with Herbert, was still in the car as well, wondering what they were going to do now.Meanwhile, the rest were resting, resting as the adrenaline was starting to settle down, and they wondered what the outcome of this whole thing would be.When the group arrived in Slough, the minivan had made a stop at one of the construction sites in a part of Slough called Salt Hill. It was an area that was mostly empty, filled with land and large parks.The initial idea of the area was for children to hang out, since there were skateparks, tennis courts, and basketball courts, all for young youths to enjoy their time. However, because of
The newcomers in Slough had stayed for a couple of days and they were starting to settle down. Killer, along with his father Earny, had pretty much made their decision that they would be staying here.The place was far better than the last area they were in, and for Killer, the most he would be losing was his friends, with whom he didn't feel very close. Outside of school, he would only hang around with the other gang members, trying to get a position in a lower division gang of the Scavengers. Going back wasn't an option, and he didn't want to go back when staying in a city like this.As for Herbert, the leader of the small gang that was in charge of recruiting the kids, he too knew that there was no going back. Finding out that the Scavengers were being run by a stronger corporation, they would wring him dry, asking for information about the Howlers, and even if he gave it, he felt like his life was still on the line. In the current city he felt safe, but unlike the others, because
The original task that had been set for Elijah was to find out about the infected solution. He needed as much proof as possible regarding what NIRV was doing to put pressure on the large corporation.The main reason why NIRV used other gangs in the first place was because they could wipe their hands clean of everything. Even now, Elijah was pretty sure there would be no links left behind, or at least no one with knowledge. With Vlad, there would at least be a bit of proof, and they could investigate further into just what the solution did.Unlike before, it was clear that the infected solutions were getting better and not driving the host mad as they would do before. Everyone had turned to Vlad, expecting him to answer, to speak up about what he thought about the whole thing, but there was silence on his end."Are you sure you're able to protect him if we did that?" Kai asked. "I have a feeling that if you did bring him in, then it would be under the guise that he was a criminal, whic
