The sour taste of the flesh was still left in Midwak’s mouth. He wasn’t lying when he said that Gil had tasted disgusting, and it was a first for him. It was a foul taste as if food had been left to rot for a long time.
This was surprising for werewolves since they were considered to be able to eat anything, and Midwak hadn’t found something he couldn’t eat. On top of that, he had planned that by eating Gil that he would become an extremely powerful werewolf.
“Even if you taste bad I’m still going to take you down!” Midwak screamed as he lifted his hand and shoved it deep into the bite mark he had made, twisting it into the wound.
Gil screamed in pain and was ready to grab and chuck Midwak off from him, but before he could, Xin had gathered up what strength she had and charged forward, hitting him in the stomach.
“That doesn’t hur—” Gil was cut off in the middle of his words because Midwak had once again lifted his hand and shoved it into the wound again, and using his mouth he decided to try biting further into his neck, damaging him even more.
When Gil went to move again, he felt a great force grabbing him right by his leg.
“I might be slower than you, but the one thing I know I am, is strong!” Austin shouted.
After saving Midwak from the gravitational field, he had decided to come over as soon as he could. There was no doubt in Austin's mind that Gil was going to be an extremely hard Altered to deal with, and all of them would have to take part in this.
Austin then yanked Gil right from under, pulling his leg causing him to fall, with his flexible and fast body, Midwak jumped off from Gil and didn’t let up on his attacks.
He flicked his nails, digging into his skin, and then, charged forward again jumping up in the air. He placed both of his hands together and swung them down with all his might, crashing right into Gil’s face.
The ground cracked beneath them, and a heavy rumble was felt close to the hospital. The one on top of Gil’s body, Midwak, didn’t stop there as he wildly continued to swing his fists, and it wasn’t just him.
Xin came, lighting up her hands, delivering fast punches as strong as she could, while Austin was delivering his heavy hitters. All three of them were consistently pounding the same area over and over.
They were cracking more of the ground and the shaking hadn’t stopped. The dust from the concrete and floor made it hard for them to even see what was going on, but from the feeling in their fists they could feel that Gil’s body was weakening.
It was shrinking as he was reverting back from his Altered form.
The punches didn’t stop, even though both of Xin’s and Austin’s arms felt incredibly heavy. They were covered in sweat but wouldn’t stop; right now could be their only chance to take out the person in front of them.
“STOP!” A loud voice shouted from behind.
When Xin turned to look at who it was, she could see the person that was running toward them, it was none other than Amy.
“It’s dangerous!” Xin called out. “Wait!”
“Actually, I think we might be fine,” Austin said.
Amy had finally reached where the others were, and she was now standing on the edge of a deep crater that had been created from the onslaught of punches. As she looked down she could see a person that no longer looked like their former self.
Blood was splattered on the ground around them. Nearly every bone in their body was disfigured, and even their face was unrecognizable.
“Is he still alive?” Xin asked.
Midwak had stopped hitting the one in front of him as well, but as he carefully listened with his ears, he transformed his arm and elongated his finger nails.
“I can still hear his heartbeat!”
“Wait, stop!” Amy shouted out again. “Please... can you not kill him, and leave this one to us. He has a lot to answer for... and I want Gary to be here when we deal with him.”
Altereds had fast healing capabilities, but there was always a point where if one was injured to a grave extent it would take them a long time to heal, just like Austin. Looking at Gil, it seemed to be the case with this individual.
He wasn’t someone that they needed to worry about anymore.
“It should be fine, we could look over him as well if he wakes up. With him like this, I’m confident we can deal with him after some rest,” Xin explained.
Austin nodded, but what they were wondering about was how Midwak would react. While fighting he seemed to have a lot of anger as well.
“Do what you want with him, I got my revenge, and he tastes bad, so he’s not even worth eating anyway,” Midwak answered as he started to walk up out of the crater and was heading away from the hospital.
“Wait, where are you going?” Austin asked.
“Me?” Midwak replied. “Since this one has gone bad, I need to get some more energy, there are still plenty of people attacking, and besides, did you think this weakling was the strongest person they had?”
“With these guys getting taken out one by one, I’m sure that their leader will make their move soon, and that’s when I need to come in and take him out, leader to leader,” Midwak said with a smile.
“You’re not our leader!” Austin immediately said, as he fell to his knee. He was more hurt than he realized.
“I don’t see that green-haired punk anywhere, and I was the one that saved you guys,” Midwak answered. “When I take out Sin, while Gary is rotting away in a cell, then you guys will change your tune. So you better get ready for change around here.”
Finishing his words, Midwak jumped off into the forest heading for who knew where.
“Wait, did he say Gary is rotting in a cell?” Austin replied.
“I guess I should catch you up on some things,” Xin replied. “And in the meantime, tell me about that crazy wolf guy. Let’s bring Gil in, and we can see if the others are okay. In this battle, the hospital might end up becoming a very important place for everyone.”
With the help of Midwak, Xin and Austin had got through a large battle with one of the Mythical type Altered that was strengthened by the infection. They had managed to protect the hospital and a large number of citizens of Slough and had come out with a victory.
While Austin carried Gil on his back, a whirling sound in the air could be heard, and as they looked up, they could see a helicopter in the air.
