After everything the Howlers had done for AJ Entertainment, Ash wanted to do what he could to help them. He was troubled with how to help them. He didn’t have a massive amount of finances.
His connections would be less than the Phoenix Gang's, and he wasn’t an Altered who could join the fight, but through him and Clem, a famous up and coming presenter with millions of followers across her platforms, they had come up with a plan.
Currently, the two of them were flying in Ash’s helicopter. He had taken lessons in his spare time, and not wishing to get anyone else involved the only two aboard were him and Clem.
“How are things going!” Ash shouted, trying to get his voice over the loud propeller blades.
“It’s good!” Clem shouted back. “We currently have over a million people watching the stream!”
Right now, the helicopter was slowly cruising over Slough. With just her phone, Clem was filming the damage that had been done to the city, and the current gangs that were destroying it even more.
With the help of not just her, but all of her followers, they had promoted their new live streaming app. That was controlled by their own services and platform. This way, all that could happen would be requests to get the app taken down or to cancel the live stream.
Due to this, word of mouth was spreading, and the whole world was learning of the chaos that was happening in one of the upcoming cities.
Constantly as Ash was flying, he felt his phone vibrate. He was getting a number of calls and messages, all telling him to end the livestream, but he ignored them and continued to do what he felt was right.
“Can you see all of this?” Clem said, as she talked into the microphone clipped attached to her shirt. “Everything you are seeing here is the result of the Phoenix Gang. We all know that there is a dark side to the city we live in.”
“But we continue on and ignore it because it doesn’t affect our lives, but now, no matter what problems are going on between these two groups, the Phoenix Gang has decided to cause harm to not just the gang but essentially destroy the whole city.
“We at AJ Entertainment wish to inform the people of what our world is coming to. I’m sure you guys had no clue this was going on because everything was being suppressed by the Phoenix Gang, who control Inferno City!”
The comments on the stream were constantly coming in, faster than Clem could even read them, if she was able to.
“No, don’t do this, Clem! You’re going to get silenced. Say it now, ‘I’m not suicidal,’ that way we will know what happens if you go missing!”
“Crap, I knew the gangs had a lot of power but this much, I haven’t seen this anywhere.”
“It could be fake, I mean all CGI.”
“No, it’s real. I have a cousin who lives there and has been texting me about the situation. It's crazy what they are doing, everyone spread the word #saveSlough.”
“Wait a moment, wasn’t there something else serious in the news about Slough recently as well? That infamous retired AFC fighter, he was sent to prison right.”
“Are you trying to make this some type of conspiracy theory right now! Do you think they're linked?”
This was exactly the type of thing Clem was hoping for. With her time of being an influencer, she knew the internet would do its thing. They would take the smallest details and make a story out of it themselves.
Sometimes people managed to catch the truth more than they thought, others would be wild speculations that would just hurt the user, she knew this herself, but right now, she wanted to use the internet to push the Phoenix Gang.
If people see what could happen to them next, they might finally start to act, and if not, she still wanted to at least show the suffering Slough was going through.
“I think we need to head down, let’s get to the main area, where the fighting is taking place, I think it’s over there!” Clem pointed.
The area that she had pointed to was Cipen and was where the current fight was taking place.

Due to the loud sound of the helicopter, it had drawn a lot of attention from a lot of people, and that included Sin, who was still standing on the rooftop of one of the buildings also overlooking what was happening in Cipen.
He had grabbed his phone and had also tuned into the livestream. He had already received multiple notifications from others about what was going on. Some companies already choosing to pull their support.
They were worried that this would affect their company base if they were seen supporting such a vicious gang. To this, Sin couldn’t help but just laugh.
“So the whole world is seeing me as a villain,” Sin stated. “Even though I have yet to do anything myself. Those idiots, don’t they know if I really wanted to, I could burn them out of the sky right now.”
Sin was tracking the helicopter with his eyes, and the thought had crossed his mind, but he placed his hand down and looked at the floor instead.
“Very well, then I will become the villain that everyone sees me as,” Sin claimed. “They better film everything, and show just how I wipe out this entire city, and then after I’m done with this city, everyone who decided to go against me will be wiped out as well.”
“Let’s broadcast to the world just how powerful I am!” Sin said as he jumped down, and flames started to extend out of his whole body. Landing on the floor the area beneath him started to melt. "let's turn up the heat."
