Daphne turned her head for a moment to the stage. She was in a struggle herself, unable to reach the stage because of Stanley, who had been keeping an eye on her. Since she hadn’t seen Chen move the entire time, she thought that he wouldn’t move.
She had heard the rumors about how Chen would only take part in a mission if he thought the mission could be a success. If one were to take that even a step further, perhaps he took this philosophy during missions ...

The strange man with a large sword that looked as if it had come out of medieval times introduced himself to Daphne Bree, and the way he did so came as a large surprise.
“Gary Dem’s Father, your Gary Dem’s father?” Daphne asked.
She wondered why she hadn’t seen such a person before. In all of her meetings with the Howlers, with all of the conversations they had about planning this operation, why was she seeing him for the first time?<...

The situation was what Daphne had feared the most. That the one person who was to get in her way was Stanley, the right-hand man of Harvor, the man who could see everything.
Now he was what stood between her and Gary. The floor area was quite open, with a relative distance between the cage and where the viewers' seats had started. This was in case there were any interruptions from the crowd.
In a world of Altered, there needed to be those who c...

The goal from the beginning was to push Harvor, to push him until he was fighting at full force, and while that distraction was taking place the rest of the White Rose would be on the move.
The issue was though, the White Rose had only three sets of targets in mind: Rumper Karn, the Zodiacs, and Harvor himself. However, the White Rose members were unable to find any of the Zodiacs apart from Stanley who Chen could see for himself.
Now, it appea...

The canvas and ring were already practically destroyed with the flooring having a large hole in it, ripped parts all around, and the metal cage having been battered and torn apart.
Yet no one was able to enter and stop the fight that was taking place, no one would dare, and when things were heating up, they seemed to just heat up even further.
Gary had regained his energy and a majority of his health from his Claw Drain constantly hurting Harvor.

Full transformation, low on health, and the night sky was out. In some ways, things were in Gary’s favor, it was now just the opponent that he was fighting against that he had to worry about.
With Xin saved, he could now go all out and he had a plan to regain his health no matter what it took.

It was only a partial transformation from Harvor, and in such a short amount of time, he had been able to land several successful hits on Gary, who until now had hardly been hit unless Harvor was willing to sacrifice himself.
It was hard to understand what was going through Harvor’s head. If he was capable of such things, then why hadn’t he just acted out from the beginning, why force oneself to go through so much pain?
Regardless, the worr...

The Clash of Kings match was a spectacle that everyone felt they had to see. The hype for the match had been building up for a long time, and it had reached its peak to the point where people thought it wouldn’t live up to its reputation.
How could it, after what they had seen in the last match against Jayden Tiger? Harvor had been knocked down for the first time, and beyond that, Jayden was even using elemental attacks.
Although what Jayden had done was illegal, it c...

It was a strange sight for the group to see. Originally, they had seen the front of Apollo at the very back of the warehouse as a giant wall that was blocking their way to Xin, their target, and now he was turning around and was facing away from them.
It felt like a giant weight had been lifted off their shoulders, and the turning of a tide. With his large paws, Apollo struck at the two in front of him, and the Altereds went flying in the air.
The One Gang members were ...

Austin had already gone beyond his limits a long time ago. In reality most wouldn’t have been able to get up after taking such a thorough beating from Apollo, whose Altered form specialized in strength.
Yet he had gotten up, and past that, he had pushed himself even transforming. It was no wonder he had completely run out of energy and had collapsed on the floor, but just before doing so, he had managed to free their captive.
The issue was Xin wasn’t in the best for...

The man that stood in front of Apollo was not the same man that he was facing before. He could tell that Austin was in his Altered form, his image now was clearly not that of a human.
His nose was still enlarged with a metallic ring growing out of it, and the horns that grew at the back of his head thick and grey in color appeared devastating. An extreme amount of steam was coming out from his nose as well.
What was most notable though was the size of Austin now. Each time ...

From the very back of the warehouse, sobs started to come out from Xin’s mouth. Tears had formed in her eyes and her body was shaking but only ever so slightly. Her body didn’t even have the appropriate nutrients to warrant the reaction of feelings she wanted to express.
An overwhelming well of emotions had hit her after hearing Apollo’s words. Him saying sorry? Did it matter what words he said, if he felt sorry, then how could he even let things get to t...

With the number of high-skilled Altered left, and with how much power and energy Ice had used, he had to be conservative while fighting. His body was resilient and had great healing capabilities.
The more power an elemental energy he would use, the weaker these aspects of his body would be though, and he had already used a large amount. So rather than trying to use his ice powers to target a large number of people, he was having to deal with them with just his ice club and sh...

The One Gang members were partially shocked at what was happening. They had been informed that there might be a break happening, that there would be an attempt to save Xin.
That was why all of them were present: the best of the gang members, the strongest, and even the Zodiac members being present. What they didn’t expect were so few people to attack. They believed that it would be a large group of the Howlers.
Seeing this, Terrance had jumped from his position and in...

In a fight against multiple opponents, it would be tough for anyone. A fight against multiple trained opponents was even harder, and then make them all trained Altereds, and that might be the toughest thing anyone has faced.
This was exactly the thoughts that were running through Elijah’s head as he saw the Altereds running his way. Thankfully, even though there were many in the room, there were only so many that could attack him at once, and he was no fool.

Elijah couldn’t help but feel his legs shaking as he looked at the sheer number of people inside. Being part of White Rose, it wasn’t as if he had never come across this situation before. In fact, even his time with Gary had put him in situations like this one, but one could tell that this was different.
Just outside, fighting a few of the Altered, Elijah could tell this was different. It wasn’t tier 2 or 3 gang members who had Altered forms and didn’t know how to deal wi...

Despite how much Austin wanted to look at his phone to see the results of Gary’s match and how it was going on, he knew they all needed to push ahead. If they managed to save Xin and gave the good news to Gary, then he could fight with no worry on his mind.
After all, if Gary was ever to get the upperhand in the fight against Harvor this was the one card they had that they could still use against him.
“So what’s the plan of some sort?” Elijah asked.

Coming into the fight, there were certain goals that Gary had in his mind. After the humiliating defeat he had suffered, it would be hard for anyone including himself to believe that he would be able to win a fight against Harvor.
However, this wasn’t just an ordinary fight. For one, a prize had been agreed upon, Xin’s life was on the line, and even more than that, there was Jayden’s honor at play here.
To the White Rose, they just wished...

Unlike conventional fights of the past, AFC fights didn’t have rounds; they just continued going until there was an eventual winner. Their energy was beyond that of typical fighters, and giving one a chance to rest didn’t make much sense in a lot of Altered fight cases.
Fights would either end very quickly or last a long time anyway. Yet it was quite clear that from the beginning the fight had picked up a gear. Harvor was throwing punches left and right, an...

An uproar had happened once before in Harvor’s fights, with Jayden being able to get the upper hand at the start of his fight, being the first person to knock Harvor down.
So seeing Gary do this to Harvor now might seem like it wouldn’t be a shock, and yet it still was to those that were watching. This was because the way it was done.
It wasn’t some sort of surprise attack. Gray had walked over calmly, he had thrown a few punches and comp...

Three giant explosions had gone off on the highway, not too far in time from each other. The explosions had swept up several of the One Gang members, who no longer had a pulse in their bodies.
A last resort from the Zodiacs to at least take down their enemy with them. It was one of the reasons why the trio was feared even by the other Zodiacs.
If they could best them in skill and strength, it didn’t matter because they had the last card to play, and that last card had...

Gary’s eyes were almost glued at the clock as he watched the hours go past. He had already informed Alan that he refused to go ahead with any other of the programming or interviews.
It was a choice he didn’t even realize he had until Bree had suggested it to him. She claimed after all, he was a King, these people had to give him the same respect as they did Harvor.
So if Harvor asked to not be bothered would they continue to do the same?

There was one large difference between Werewolves and Altered that Kai had taken note of, and that was the fact that Werewolves consumed a lot of energy.
Just in their daily lives, there was a large amount of meat that needed to be consumed at all times, to the point that even with the Howlers' vast wealth, Kai had to put a separate budget in his planning for the Werewolf members.

Pinner had somewhat taken the role of leader of this small group of Zodiacs, and it was for good reason as well. Out of the three, he saw himself as the strongest.
At times there would be fights within the Zodiacs, and at others, there were those that naturally knew their place among the group.
In this case, with three Altereds that had similar forms with the same type of powers, he knew his was the strongest, and so did the other two.
Yet, he was quite impressed ...
