Xin had originally been battling with Gil, a young teenager, now a young man who used to be a part of Slough. His life had been turned upside down when he had gotten involved with one particular student, Gary Dem.
After a chain of events, he had no choice but to leave Slough and had happened to run into Raven, a person who seemed to be in the same situation as himself. As the two of them left Slough, they had fallen into the hands of the Phoenix Gang.
Little did they know that the leader of the Phoenix Gang had already set Slough in their sights and the Howlers gang. Everything seemed to be connected to a particular group. Because of their information, they were invited to the top, and Sin had given them a lifeline.
Both of them were handed Altered solutions, not just any Altered solutions but Mythical Type Altered solutions that had devastating power. They didn’t follow the usual traits of the Phoenix Gang, but they were too good to give up.
However, there was a catch with these Mythical type Altered solutions. They had been marked by NIRV as defective solutions—solutions that were infected and had a high chance of making an Altered go Crazed and giving them other traits as well.
While fighting against Gil, Xin had been able to push her opponent to the point where he had given in. Rather than using his own power, he had decided to draw more power from his Altered form.
The infection had taken over, making his eyes black and a strange purple smoke appear over his body. Not only that, no longer did Gil have to transform his body to different sizes to make it durable or strong; now his body was both, and he had great gravitational powers to add to it.
Thankfully, during her fight, she had Austin come and help, but that still wasn’t enough. The extent of Gil’s powers was beyond what anyone was expecting.
With Austin still not fully recovered and Xin having already exhausted most of her power, the two of them thought it was only a matter of time until they were defeated. That was until a figure soaked in blood emerged from the forest.
In his hand, he was dragging a man dressed in Phoenix Gang clothing.
“This is all kid stuff, so deal with one of the adults,” Midwak said.
Xin didn’t really have any idea who this man was, but for Austin, memories were flying in his head of the past.
“You think just because there is one more of you, I can’t take you down!” Gil shouted at the top of his lungs, ignoring Austin and Xin as he dashed toward Midwak. “I took you down last time; you think I can’t take you down again!”
Without hesitation, though, Midwak lifted the body with one hand and hurled it right toward Gil. As fast as Gil was going at his speed, when the body made impact, it ripped apart, exploding guts all over him.
The blood covered his eyes, and as soon as they were opened, he felt something climb right on the back of him. Midwak was latched onto his back in his full werewolf form. His body looked muscular and more refined compared to the last time Austin had seen him.
There was less fur on his body, making him look almost human. With a large fist, Midwak punched the back of Gil's head, sending him right to the ground. The area was destroyed underneath him.
Immediately, Midwak then jumped off his back and into the air. He flicked two of his fine nails from his thumb, hitting directly into Gil. After that, he swung both of his hands in the air.
A giant X mark came out from his hands and floated through the air. It was a visible attack that was rippling the air, which even Xin and Austin could see. The attack crashed into Gil’s body, slicing apart his thick dark skin, causing blood to be drawn out over his body.
“ARGHH!” Gil screamed as he lifted himself, rubble falling off his body. He could see Midwak moving towards him, and as Midwak was falling, Gil threw out a large fist of his own, hitting him cleanly on his side.
Midwak’s body tumbled onto the floor, but immediately, he got up and pushed off the ground heading right for Gil. He then grabbed straight onto his waist. The veins and muscles on his body were bulging as he lifted Gil up into the air.
He threw him using the strength of his waist, and quickly following up, he jumped up and grabbed Gil right by the neck. With full force and all of his weight, he threw Gil right back into the ground.
The whole area was shaking violently; the hospital nearby was shaking once again, and Midwak was seen standing there.
“Right, you did beat me last time, did you think I just did nothing after losing?” Midwak said as he stood there and walked over, lifting up his leg, he started to stomp on Gil’s body, again and again.
“All the crap you inflicted on me, I’m going to make sure you feel ten times worse!”
Midwak was never the type of person to rely on getting strength from others, and he never believed that Gary or the others would be able to take this person down. He needed to get revenge himself, so Midwak went to grow stronger.
He was used to doing it by himself. Not only that, but he had been going around the city quelling the aggression of the Phoenix Gang and other gangs because it would allow him to feast on the Altered all over, and with each Altered consumed, the stronger Midwak had become.
“You will pay, you hear me? Do you have any idea what you are doing by destroying this town!” Midwak shouted as he continued to stomp with all his strength and weight. “You’re killing my troops. This is the gang that I’m going to take over, so I can’t have you guys messing this up!”
Xin was just staring in disbelief.
“Austin…who is that guy?”
“That guy…he’s the person that took the whole of the Howlers Gang to take out. For once, I’m happy that he’s on our side,” Austin answered.
