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. Quickly, he sprinted towards the noise and could see the group of around five men who were looting an electronics store. They were carrying speakers, heavy equipment, among other items.
Kai rushed over and leapt up. He was too fast for any of them to react, and immediately he bit at one of the throats of the looters. Instantly, he fell to the floor, and now Kai's mouth was full of blood.
"What the heck is that? It's a giant wolf! What's that doing in a shopping mall?"
"It's obviously an Altered, you idiot!" The other shouted as he dropped the speaker he had in his hands onto the ground and pulled out an electric baton. By the time his baton was ready, he could no longer see the wolf. Instead, he felt a sharp pain on his foot, and then his whole vision of the entire shopping mall went strange. His friends could see what was happening to him.
The wolf had bitten him by the leg and was now dragging him through the air. With a fling of his mouth, Kai let go, and the man went flying over the bannister, falling to the floor below.
Leaping to the next ones, Kai started to transform back into that of a more human shape. He swung his fists, slicing both of their throats, and then with the last one, pierced through its stomach.
"You guys should have treasured your lives a lot more. Anyone who comes to Slough on some bounty hunt or on the orders of another gang, they are going to learn their lesson. We broke free from the Underdogs' rule, and we don't plan to be put under someone else's."
Kai looked down on the bottom floor, and he could see several other Howlers members having gathered together. He quickly jumped down from his position, and when landing on the ground, proceeded to put back on his Howlers Jacket.
"The shopping mall has been cleared up, with checked the rest of the floors," Crowley informed. "Are you sure it's okay for us to be out like this, away from the city?"
"Yeah, it's fine," Kai answered. "In Burnham food street, we have Marie, Olivia and Izzy. She's called for help from her friends, and it looks like Ian and Numba have joined her. You should know of them, but they're great talents that are in the AFC now.
"As for Cipen, Xin is at the hospital where Austin and Gary's family are currently based. She's one of the strongest in our group based on my evaluation of her matches. The rest of Cipen, we have Vere, who was a strong fighter before she became Altered. There's the bodyguard which follows her everywhere as well.
"And there's the rest of the Altered that you trained during your time here. So we're not the only strike force that's out at the moment, doing what we can so people like these guys don't destroy the whole city."
"Don't you think it might be best for you to stay near Cipen?" Crowley asked. "You're essentially the leader in this situation. Rather than fighting, you should be giving out orders to the others."
"I have already given out my orders, and each of our people in those areas is capable of handling themselves and working on the situation when needed. Besides, we're not the only strike force."
There was one more group of people, Midwak and his two other Werewolves. They weren't reporting to Kai, but he knew they were going around the city and attacking several of the gangs. He was getting constant reports about it. For once, he was happy to have someone crazy and up for fighting on their side.
Kai felt his phone vibrate, and when he saw who it was, he immediately answered. "I see... I see, I'll pass on the information, maybe it will do something, give him some hope."
"What was that?" Crowley asked.
"It's Gary's mother. It looks like she's woken up at the hospital. I'll pass the information onto Elijah. Apparently, Gary's been asking about an update here. I don't know what's going on with his situation, and we don't even have time to help. So all I can do is hope he and Elijah can work something out. Maybe the truth of the situation will urge Gary to take some drastic measures. Also, they said someone wanted to meet me, but it's not important right now."
Just then, Kai's phone started to go off again and again. When he saw the message, his heart sunk slightly. He had set up a couple of people to look far out into the several entrances into the city because he was waiting for a particular move, and it was starting.
"We need to get ready; the Phoenix Gang is here."
