Kai had been fighting for a long time now. He had been fighting the day before, and now, ever since Glutton had shown up, he had been facing him head-on. Then, he had been going up against two of the main members from the Phoenix Gang.
With Crowley badly hurt, maybe even dead, Kai did everything he could to avoid getting a fatal hit from the two main members, but it was proving tough. He wasn’t just physically exhausted but mentally as well.
That was when a sudden boost of power had risen in him. He could feel his energy growing, and it wasn’t just his stamina that was coming back; he could feel himself growing stronger.
It was when he remembered something that Gary had told him at one point in passing.
‘My Grey Werewolf form is different compared to others. Out of the other werewolves, I’m the only one that can shapeshift into this form.
‘On top of that, my strength rises depending on how many werewolves there are around me, whether that be friend or foe.’
It was because of that, Kai had a pretty good idea of what was going on. In the shadows, the blue glowing eyes could be seen. Jumping up on the two cars behind him was none other than Tyler, a dedicated driver to the Howlers Gang, and Kevin.
One of the youngest members of the Howlers, who was part of the same orphanage group as Innu. One of the only survivors of the Black Rock Orphanage.
“You guys came just in time. I thought I would need to hold out a bit longer,” Kai said.
“What can I say,” Kevin replied, wiping his nose, with his chest lifted up. “We were quick learners. Let’s get this over with and get ready to rumble!”
Kevin’s body started to transform, his fur growing for him on the spot. It was the same for Tyler, and at that moment, from the shadows, the other werewolves had come out and were clashing against the Phoenix Gang members.
The sheer strength from their attacks had taken the Phoenix Gang members by surprise, even though they were Altered as well. A large claw would come crashing down on them, and when using their flaming claws, their hands would be hit away.
Not just that, but the fighting was wilder than one could imagine. The werewolves would climb up on the side of the building using all fours then leap off the side, using their mouths and hands to attack.
Quickly they would avoid attacks by climbing up other objects and lashing out as they dived towards their opponent.
It wasn’t like how Kai, Marie, or any of the other werewolves before them would fight. It was as if someone told them to get rid of all the fighting knowledge they knew and just let their inner animal act.
Kai, feeling his surge in power, didn’t let up as he transformed his body as well. Into his standing werewolf form rather than his Wolf form and went right ahead. He charged toward Greed who still held out his two blades.
When he got close, Greed swung his weapons towards Kai who was able to narrowly avoid them as he took steps back and went to swipe towards his stomach, but Greed was also quite fast in his movement as well as he moved back.
At that moment though, both Tyler and Kevin had run to the side and used cars that were on the side of the road to push off against and launch themselves at Greed. Both of them went forward digging their claws into his side.
Twirling the sword in his hands, he took the pain and was ready to stab down on top of their heads, but Kai had jumped up and delivered a kick right to his head sending him back.
Greed’s body didn’t go far though, as he had landed into Glutton’s belly who held onto him. Glutton then opened his mouth and started to fire fireballs straight at the group. They all quickly avoided them.
Tyler had moved behind a car, but as the fireball had crashed into the car, it had caused a large explosion to unfold and sent him skidding across the floor. He was hurt but not badly injured as he got back up on his feet quickly.
Kai was behind him, pulling him up on his feet and regrouping with the other two. The werewolves that were fighting the other members were making quick work of the Phoenix Gang, and it would only be a matter of time before they would be able to help as well.
“Out of the two of them, the one known as Greed seems to be more skillful, but he hasn’t revealed his Altered form yet. I’m worried about him, but that Glutton guy has a large sheer amount of firepower.”
“He’s been fighting for a while as well. I’m sure he’s tiring out, and he’s slow, incredibly slow compared to me.”
Kai wanted to say something, but how could he? These people, they had already risked a lot by just allowing themselves to be turned into the same monsters as them for the sake of the gang.
Not just that, but Crowley was already hurt from what happened.
“You want to take out that big guy, right?” Tyler answered. “I know what you're planning. We'll hold off Greed; you go for the big guy. Just make it quick so you can help us out, and we're not as weak as you think. We had a lot of training!” Tyler stated as his eyes were glowing a fiercer blue along with the smaller build of Tyler.
Listening to these words, he smiled. It was for the best situation. This was a case of just win or lose; there were going to be losses. Kai strived forward turning into his Wolf form, and he whizzed past Greed.
At the same time, Greed could see two of the werewolves going after him. It was quite clear what their plan was.
“To think of all things, a tier 2 gang that came out of nowhere would give us trouble. That’s just not possible!” Greed shouted as he swung both of his swords down.
They hit the floor, and flames erupted from the ground. At the same time, from his back, a single spike was starting to grow.
At the top of the building, Sin had been observing the main fight that was taking place in Cipen. He hadn’t heard much from Burnham food street or the hospital. Things were taking longer than he expected.
“So many tricks up their sleeves one after the other. The city is heating up,” Sin said. “From the looks of things, Glutton doesn’t know how much trouble he’s in; that blonde kid has been doing fairly well.”
“Garbo, go out and help Glutton and Greed. I know they will be annoyed, but we can’t afford to lose any of our core members. Otherwise, one of the other kings might act… and I'm sure I don’t have to say this, but make sure I don’t have to get involved,” Sin ordered.
Garbo didn’t say much and started to head down, as he was getting ready to join the fight.
“The Howlers Gang managed to do all of this, even after taking out their leader. How different would things have been if you were still here, Gary? Would I have to get involved?”
