In the middle of the night, in a place like this, Numba didn't expect to have to fight. Neither did he expect to get a door slammed into his face, and he wasn't too pleased about it. His instincts were telling him to transform, as the person in front of him clearly had no good intentions coming here. The horns grew from his head and the shape of his feet were changing slightly already breaking through his shoes.
“Who the hell is that guy?! Why did he do that?” Ian asked puzzled about the sudden intrusion.
“I don't know him, but we can be sure that he's not a friend of the Howlers based on his entrance.” Izzy commented, as she started to transform as well. The hair on her head started to clump together, growing larger, turning into six separate hands.
“Should I transform as well? Isn't that overkill against just one guy?” Ian commented. “Besides, maybe this is just some sort of giant misunderstanding?”
“Where are they?” The man in the Hawaiian shirt questioned them. “Where are the people in the masks? I need to get rid of them all.”
“Okay, scratch that, he's clearly an enemy!” Ian sighed.
At that moment, the man at the entrance ran forward toward them. The floorboards underneath his feet broke. Rather than running across the floorboards what they were looking at now was somewhat more of a leap.
A strong powerful jump went across the entire length of the room, and while he was midair, his eyes started to glow yellow, black fur started to grow across his face and arms. His attack targeted Izzy first, her hair stretched out, aiming for the hands and legs of the attacker.
The female Altered attempted to wrap the person up, which would allow for Numba to strike at him with his strongest attack. As soon as her hair got close though, the hands of the attacker turned into sharp deadly claws, and swinging his hands the hair got ripped through.
“ARGHH!” Izzy shouted in pain. She was in her transformed state, and although it looked slick, the hair's durability was able to rival steel. And yet, the man had severed it like it was nothing. Unfortunately for Izzy, all those hair extensions had a ton of nerves inside of them, making her feel as if someone had pulled out all her teeth.
After slamming through most of the hair strands, the man then allowed for one of the clumped up parts of hair to wrap around his wrist. He then twisted it around a few more times before pulling forward, causing Izzy to be lifted into the air.
“Let go of her!” Numba shouted, as he exploded in speed and was right in front of the man. The Goat Altered delivered an explosive punch right into the man's stomach. A shockwave was sent out as the man’s body was lifted in the air slightly and his grip on Izzy's hair loosened for a bit.
However, a smile appeared on the man's face, as he swung his leg, kicking Numba right in the face. The Altered crashed into one of the pool tables, breaking it on the spot, yet after a few seconds he got back up.
“I see that you are quite a strong one.” The man admitted. “Out of respect for you brave young fighters, I shall tell you my name. I'm Midwak Convel, the person who will send you to your graves!”
Midwak then quickly jumped in the air once again. He leapt up as he was ready to land on top of Numba, grabbing both hands together ready to slam them down, but as he did, another person dove right on top of Numba, his back facing away.
Then, straight out of his back, large golden colored bristles came out. Midwak ignored this as he slammed his hands through the brittle tore right through sticking out on the other end. It didn't pierce his bone, but it had moved them to the side as it stuck out.
The attack had still managed to crash into Ian's back, at great strength but Ian used all the power he could, to not crush Numba any more than he could.
“Ian, what are you doing?!” Numba asked.
Blood was pouring out from Ian's mouth.
“My name… I’m going to tell that bastard my name!” Ian shouted at the top of his lungs, his back started to shake and so did the bristles. Midwak could sense something was going to happen as he pulled both his arms out. Seconds after and the bristles started to shoot out heading straight towards him.
Lifting his arms in a cross, he covered his face, but the hard, thick bristles still manage to hit different parts of his body. Eventually, Midwak moved and jumped back, and was back to the entrance of the place.
Numba got up off the ground, and helped Ian as well, who seemed to be partly exhausted after the little attack of his. The good thing was, it looked like Izzy wasn't badly injured either as her hair had regrown to what it once was, and the three of them stood there looking at the attacker.
“My name… my name is Ian! And you fucker don't even deserve to know my last name! Just remember that I was the one to kick your arse.” Ian shouted, his words weren't so convincing as a small amount of blood spilt out of his mouth.
It was then, that Midwak let out a large almost howl like noise, as his eyes began to glow. Bristles shot out of his body onto the floor and the surrounding area. Right in front of their eyes, the wounds that he had suffered, starting to heal up at a visible pace.
With no use for the shirt anymore, Midwak decided to just rip it off, bearing his chest to them all. After healing his wounds, his arms were transforming more than before, being covered in fur and the eyes were memorising as in the backdrop the yellow glow from them could clearly be seen.
“Guys… am I going crazy, or are there more and more Wolf Altered showing up recently?” Numba asked, gulping down hard.
“He must be an exiled member of the Howlers. The claws, the transformation, the crazy healing factor and physical abilities. We need to work together, because right now it feels like the time the three of us were going up against Gary!” Izzy cautioned them to be careful.
Midwak continued to walk toward the three with confidence. “You three were just collateral, but I'll make sure to ask my employee for sufficient compensation for all of you. Especially for you, lamb!” A deep smile appeared on his face, and it was starting to transform even more, as it was elongating, turning into a type of snout.
Amidst his transformation, a grey blur passed by all three of the Altered, crashing into Midwak. As it did, the other side of the pool club was thrashed, and seconds later they could see what looked like a large Altered wolf like human lift the transformed man into the air and slam him onto the ground.
“Those clothes… they're black and gold… is that the guy from earlier?” Izzy asked, her mind unable to process all these changes.
Kai's eyes were shining blue, as he took a step back. Breaking through the broken pool table parts, a full-blown Werewolf fully transformed had come out, his yellow eyes challenging the teenager.
‘What the hell is another Werewolf doing here?!' Kai wondered.
