A few moments ago, Numba, Izzy and Ian had still been in the main gambling hall. The Scatterbugs' staff and gang members were proving to be more than a handful, not only did they outnumber the three students by dozens of times, but they were resilient as well.
"Guys, we seem to have a problem. I'm starting to recognise a few of the ones I hit in the very beginning. They're starting to get back up and rejoin the fight. Hey, assholes, just stay down, will you?! Don't make us kill you for real!" Ian shouted.
The three of them weren't part of a gang, and while their strength as Altered made it easy for them to take out fully grown adults, they couldn't bring themselves to kill them. While they knew it would be easy enough given the strength disparity between Altered and human, the psychological barrier from taking a fellow human's life wasn't that easy to ignore.
Ian's whole body was no longer covered in bristles and instead he just had a large one sticking out of his forearms, he swung it hitting it against a gang debris blade knocking it out of his hand, and soon after stabbed him right in the thigh as he kicked him in the stomach.
"Stay down unless you want a spike through your head! Surely the amount your boss is paying you can't be worth it to go through this!" Ian pleaded, but it seemed like it really was as the gang members didn't give up, unaware that the boss that they were being so loyal to, had already died.
"Do you hear that?" Izzy asked.
A loud constant sound was being heard, like a small bang one after the other, the whole building was shaking, and the machines were vibrating a little. Soon, it became apparent what the noise was.
"I think it's a helicopter." Numba answered. "It seems our little bridge trick only lasted so long, and now the reinforcements have come in after all."
The sound of the helicopter soon stopped, and although no one wanted to say it to the other, they were tired. Without the help of the rest of the Howlers, they were having to draw out energy from somewhere.
It didn't take long for the doors to be burst open from the other side.
"Arghh!" A few groans and loud noises were being made.
"We're being attacked from behind!"
"Those aren't our guys! Who the hell are they?!"
The gang members were shouting in confusion, a feeling shared by the three AFA students. That was until they saw what was attacking the gang members, as it was a man in a clown suit, of all things.
"The Cardenez group can't just sit by while the Howlers attempt to attack the Scatterbugs!" Harry explained.
The chairman of the Cardenez group held onto his chain with a rounded end, and slammed it onto the floor.
"If the Howlers are to fail today, then it means the Cardenez group will follow suit in due time! To prevent that we'll support them with all our strength!" Harry shouted, as the Freaks, the personal security team that he had built up rushed to take care of the Scatterbugs' personnel.
"Father…" Numba whisped, as he stood there, and avoided a punch from a gang member, delivering his own right to the face of a gang member sending him back.
"Go, son, I'm sure they need your help." Harry prompted Numba.
The three of them saw that the Freaks seened to have everything under control, so they nodded in confirmation, before they ran off after Gary and the others.
———
That was how the three were able to arrive and back up Gary and his friends so far in the fight, how they had managed to save Marie in the nick of time, but now they could see, what they could only assume was Gary in front of them.
"Everyone, you have done enough! None of you will die here today. Just stand by the side and make sure to not get in the way!" Gary shouted.
After saying these words, Midwak was seen running out of the hole in the wall, and sprinting right toward Gary. He lifted both of his claws, and ten nails shot out right for them, aiming right towards Gary.
Since the others were behind him, Gary had no choice, he wasn't able to avoid them, and instead, slashed his claws trying to hit them. He had knocked about three of the nails down, but the others had entered his hand and hit his body.
They pierced his skin, but did little to damage him.
"GRAHH!" Gary opened his mouth wide, saliva going everywhere as he sprinted forward. Both of them leapt toward each other, and Gary went to slash right against Midwak's chest, cutting it open.
However, Midwak grabbed onto Gary's wrist and pulled him forward, hitting him right in the head. Gary was startled due to the other's strength, and was pulled forward again as the Omega went to hit him for a second time, but this time Gary grabbed onto his hand, stopping him.
"I'm glad you're a lot stronger than the Betas you made!" Midwak said. "I see that you managed to use the time to get yourself a snack, no wonder you feel invincible right now, but there is still a large difference between me and you!
"I thought before, that you had been doing nothing, but now I realize, it wasn't that, you are just that young of a Alpha, someone who has next to no skills. I have no idea who made you like this, but it's clear that you know nothing about being a Werewolf. A simple Alpha like you can never take me down!"
The claws, on Midwak, started to grow twice in size, and looked to turn slightly metallic as if it was metal, he then went to strike against Gary who stepped back, but his forearm had been hit receiving a large wound.
"You're right." Gary admitted. "I'm an idiot! I know if Kai, had the same strength as me, if he had been the one to have evolved, he would have already found the perfect way to take care of you, but you see for me, it takes time.
"I'm just an idiot who will have you to take you down with everything I have!!!"
Once the Class Promotion had ended, Gary had quickly checked his stats, hoping that they would give him the boost to defeat Midwak.

Gary had gained quite a bit of stat points from eating the Altered as well, but glancing at the notification screens, he noticed that the more Altered he ate the less stats they gave him, thought it was still far better compared to eating beasts. Nevertheless, the most impressive things was what had come with his evolution.
