The message from the police force and the White Rose group was loud and clear, they wanted one person, and that was Gary Dem, but that begged the question to all of them, why? Why would they want Gary Dem in all of this, he still wasn't publicly known as the Howlers’ leader, and even if he was they would have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get him. “We say this again!” Kanu shouted through the megaphone again. “We only want Gary Dem. We know that he has been working closely with the Howlers, if he is not with you now, then you are to get him to come here, without retreating. If you refuse to comply you will become an enemy of the White Rose.” The police officers were still nervous as they saw all of the gang members that were standing outside with their weapons, all of them giving them menacing looks. Even if they were Altered they wondered how Kanu could have such confidence saying these words.The core members decided to huddle up by the car as they debated what they shoul
Most of the Howler members had no clue what was going on, even though they had seen Gary Dem turn himself in. To them, he was somewhat of an outsider of the gang who was treated really well.He was close with the core members and supported them with his money and investments. Gary Dem, the business tycoon, also happened to be a strong Altered.If he was coming along for this fight, they had assumed it was because the real leader had taken him. They had witnessed him giving himself up, but then what?So they lost an ally, but they were still ready to attack the Phoenix Gang; they needed to, after all. Otherwise, the Phoenix Gang would continue to attack the Howlers as well as the citizens of Slough. If they didn't act now, they were doomed.At least, this was all of which they had been told. Which was why, although they had quite the shock that the White Rose and the Police force had appeared out of the blue, with them gone, they could continue on with the attack.So then why did Kai o
Xin had decided to stay in the city of Slough for a while. She was on a break from her regular training before she would take on a big match. She wanted to spend time with her family and in this short period try to find any news on her brother as possible.It was why she would constantly browse through the news channels, and would be on several at the same time. Her phone was going through articles, her tablet was set up to news live streams, and the TV was on the more focused traditional media when she saw it, the news of Gary having been taken in.'What is going on!' She jumped out of her seat and got within inches of the screen, trying to confirm that the Gary on the TV was the same as the one she thought of, and without a shadow of a doubt it was him.'How did this happen, how did it even… is it because of the request I made?' Xin started to think. 'No, it can't be that, it must be something else.'She started to think back about the recent information she had found out about Gary
Xin heard a voice that wasn't familiar, but there was a big clue in his words. When he talked about school, she could only think about the high school she had gone to.Who would have had a grudge against her, though? There were many of the girls that disliked her, but she couldn't imagine the boys getting in her way, and a grudge from so long ago."Hey, I don't think you chose the right person," Xin replied as she got up off the floor and brushed off her clothes. She had changed from her elegant dress she was wearing and was now dressed in sporty clothes, with jogging bottoms and a stretchy sports jumper.If she couldn't find any clues to Gary or those in the Howlers, she had planned to go for a run."The right person? I'm pretty sure you're the one I've been looking for, Xin," the hooded man said again.One of the men by the side swung a baton, hitting the hooded figure and sending sparks all over his body. There was no reaction from him, not even a small whimper.Grabbing the baton,
Gil's body was starting to transform; it was getting larger by the second and growing in size. The corners of the hoodie he was wearing were being stretched incredibly thin, meanwhile, his face was changing.A snout was starting to extend out, with a large black nose; his eyes were becoming fiercer, while the color of his skin was turning dark, almost a dark purple. He now was around two times bigger than he previously was, as the face of a Jackal looked over him."This is... I've seen this before," Xin thought to herself. "This looks like one of the ancient Egyptian gods. It's Anubis! That means he has to be a mythical-type Altered."Xin knew quite a bit about Altered due to her being an Altered herself and studying them. The mythical type beasts, beasts that were passed down in legend and name, that they even had tales and stories about them.It was assumed that stories were told of these creatures due to the great power they held during their time of reign on Earth. What Xin didn't
Kai was one of the main group members of the Howlers. He was pretty much second in command to everyone after Gary. In some cases, many saw him more as the leader. On top of that, he was one of the first to have been turned into a werewolf.In the past, he and Olivia used to train on the side, as Kai knew how important strength was in his position. He didn't want what happened to him when he had been beaten by Midwak to happen again.However, as time went on, Olivia started to focus more on her relationship and her strength with Marie, leaving little time for them to train. Instead, he had occasionally been secretly meeting someone else.As Kai's body transformed, it didn't turn into his werewolf form. Instead, he transformed into a light grey-furred wolf that sprinted across the tracks. Then, he leapt up, and Gil, in his altered form as Anbus, could barely react. He swung at the wolf coming towards him, but the wolf form was agile, moving him to the side.He leapt up again, and as he
"Although the town of Slough wasn't known for its grand universities and education scene, it still had the standard facilities that would allow one to progress into a career like a job if possible.For many young people, the situation was tough, as even having a degree wasn't a guarantee of a job, and many were aware of this fact. Due to fierce competition, even the choice of university became a deciding factor in job opportunities.The students knew this, which was why many who attended the University in the old town of Slough, now a city, knew there was next to no hope for them. Often, heading to the university was either a last-ditch effort or simply a way to buy time until they were forced to find a job in the harsh outside environment.That's why many students had joined color gangs to pass the time or, perhaps, pursue a future in a different direction, leading them into a life of crime. However, things weren't the same in Slough now.They were attempting to clean up that reputat
The man who had attacked was holding onto a baseball bat, and the others who were gathering around had different types of weapons in their hands. What was frightening was the fact that every single one of them looked like regular university students.There was something off a bit about them, the way they wore their clothing, or the fact that on closer inspection, they were perhaps a little too old to be university students, but from a glance or walking by, they looked like they belonged.White grabbed hard onto Amy's wrist as she dragged her back through the halls. The night sky was already out, but they were at a university; surely they would run into someone who would be able to help them."Why are they attacking us?" Amy asked.White didn't reply since she was too focused on running and trying to find the next emergency exit. However, based on her actions, she doubted that they were after both of them, and the real target was Amy.There was an inkling that maybe this whole deal tha
