In Slough, the attacks continued. They were constant from the other cities and surrounding gangs, but now that the Howlers members had huddled up closer together, they were doing well at defending themselves. They were suffering from fewer losses, focusing on only protecting two places: Cipen and Burnham food street. When areas would be attacked outside of these two, from time to time, Kai would go out with a team to try to deal with the unruly ones. Sometimes they could get there in time, others the whole buildings had been burnt before they even arrived. It was frustrating; everything Slough had built up over the last two years was crumbling right in front of them. And for what reason? For money? The rebuilding of the city would cost far more than what these guys were being paid, and out of frustration, if they were unable to get their bounty, they would just destroy the city instead. As temporary relief, there was one area that didn't stand out as much as the others, where Kai
Help was a strong word to be used in the current times they were in. They were sure that many people who lived in the city of Slough, who were part of the Howlers, were saying these words, asking for help.When it came from such a strong figure, those words really reached out, but for Amy, they were also painful."We... we needed help so many times as a family, we needed your help, Dad, but you weren't there for us, and now you're saying you understand everything and are here to help! How can I even believe that?" Amy said.The one person that had always helped her in these situations, who was still here for her, was Gary, and she wished he was by her side right now.Her father reached into his pocket; the moment he did, Xin reacted again. She had heard Amy call her father, and now that she looked at the man more, he did resemble a version of Gary. A worn-out version, as if he was older and a bit more scruffy. However, the fact that his presence was making Amy upset, causing her to re
The first thing Amy's mother saw and felt as she opened her eyes was her daughter. Clinging onto her hand, tears continuously sobbing all over her. She wanted to say something, to ask what was happening, what was going on, but she let Amy cry out her tears and gently lifted her hand as she stroked the top of her head."Mum, I never thought you were going to wake up. I thought you might have stayed like that forever. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being a bad kid, I'm sorry for shouting at you all those times when we didn't have enough food, or you weren't able to buy me things for school.”"I hate the fact that I was such a spoiled brat. All I wanted was to tell you this, I wanted to say sorry to you, but I wasn't sure if you heard me or not."Mrs. Dem continued to brush the hair of her daughter, and slowly she started to look around. There were kids, those that looked around Gary's age, or a bit older, closer to being young adults who were standing there. None that she had recognized. It m
Just outside of one of the shopping malls that had been newly built in the Chavley area, several cars were parked up outside. That included a long limousine. On top of that, there were also several motorcycles as well.The shopping mall was quite large, filled with bright white light, marble flooring, and went up several floors. On the third floor of the mall, Kai was wearing his black and gold fox-like mask. His clothes had patches of blood on them, and he was constantly looking around. His ears started to vibrate slightly. He could hear the sound of glass being smashed and a group of men talking.Quickly, Kai started to run down the escalator, and mid-run, he started to take off his jacket. As he did, his body started to transform as grey fur covered his body, and he went on all fours. He hadn't transformed into his Werewolf form but had transformed into the form of a Wolf.He quickly then leapt while still only halfway down the escalator and had reached the second floor of the mall
Unlike before, when entering Slough, there were borders. People could usually come in and out of the city as they liked, but Kai had set up a border so they could tell when others would come to attack them. This had worked, at least with the first waves of attacks, but now that the attacks were so brutal, there were only a few people that had been set up further out, keeping an eye on the vehicles that were coming in and out.That was when several large buses were seen turning in; they were red in color and had a large feather imprint design on the side. It was quite clear who these people were, and the report was sent instantly.When they entered the edge of the city where the large buildings had started, the buses spun to their side, blocking the road. As the doors opened, a flood of those dressed in dark red clothing came out from the vehicles.With one of the buses in particular, slowly wearing a large red coat that dragged across the floor, with a furry white hood, was none other
Kai had been doing research into Sin's teams, so he knew who the main people were that he needed to worry about. Apart from just Sin himself, there were the three who were always by his side: Glutton, Greed, and Garbo. Regularly, Sin would use these three to do the majority of the large dirty work for him—dealing with uncompromising local gangs and even when having trouble with neighboring Tier 1 cities, the other kings.Of course, Sin himself would regularly appear as well, showing off a flashy display of his powers, which was why he had come to be known as the most active of the kings. Now, he had received news that all of them had arrived."Crap!" Kai shouted at himself. He had moved from the Wolf's Pool Club and had returned to Cipen. He was at one of the largest areas of open road, where they had set up a barrier of cars.He had learned this small trick from Harry Cardenez when they had dealt with their problems. With the large buildings in the way, the easiest way for them to co
The Howlers from behind weren't just regular members of the gang. Their bodies started to morph and transform, changing into parts of beasts. Those who didn't transform were holding onto Anti-Altered weapons. These people were a special group within the Howlers. Nearly all of the Howlers, including non-Altered members, were trained by Crowley. He had daily lessons that would run three times a day, each time with a different group. However, Kai had told him to pay special attention to a particular group because they were all Altered. With the funds they received, they bought up all the Altered solutions they could from the black market, making themselves stronger. They also had Tom trying to work on a way of making his own Altered solutions. He was close, but it wasn't possible just yet. Either way, those most loyal to the Howlers had been selected, the ones that worked under the core leaders. One person in particular, Park, had an arm that started to transform into a hard shell th
The prison was always full of fighting. It was an everyday occurrence, but it wasn’t often that a person would go so far as to take it to death. When it did occur, not much was done about it in the prison.The guards turned their heads and reported it as a casualty that couldn’t be stopped. What would occur, though, was whoever was responsible would get another blotch on their record, and currently, Gary had been called back to the Warden’s office.She was seated in her chair, dressed in a heavy black uniform with a flat hat on top of her head. She had long painted nails, the tips colored black, similar to her thick black eyeliner.If there was one thing that was clear, the Warden liked the color black.“Gary Dem, do I need to remind you that your case hasn’t even fully been filed yet?” the Warden stated. “You are in here in the meantime while your case is being investigated, and because of what you have done, this will be added to your file, added to your crimes.”Gary didn’t reply.
