Chapter 154: Meet again
The strange teenager had surprised them since the start of the fight. The thirty or so grey colour gang members had constantly been hitting him, yet he still hadn’t fallen, and his strength seemed to be the same as before.
Still, in their head they thought that he had to have been hurt, he would eventually fall, just like everyone that they had hit before, right? Yet that never happened, which was why a few of them had gotten fed up.
The grey colour gang were meant to be members that were proud of the strength in their fists, but since this didn’t work, there were plenty of things they had on them, or that they could use in the warehouse to cause some damage.
However, they had seen what Gary had done, and unless their eyes were playing tricks on them, they were sure of it, the person in front of them was an Altered.
“Who is this person, you saw him transform, right?” Another asked, just to make sure.
“Yeah, it like changed into something, only Altered can do that.”
“An Altered, I thought the only gang in Slough that had an Altered was the Underdogs, is this really an attack from them?”
“You idiot, does this person in front of you look like Kirk?”
While the others were arguing, Gary was able to have a look at his stats and there were a few worrying things. For one, he had used his Claw Drain out of anger after being stabbed. It had healed the wound on his back and given him a bit of health back, but it didn’t seem to be worth the energy that it had used.
He had been getting constantly hit during the fight as well, and although that was alright at the beginning now that they had weapons they were producing more damage.
‘I have two stat points… I could put them into Energy, and use the Claw Drain a few times… but when I run out of Energy then what? I could put it in Health and try to fight them off for as long as possible but even then that wouldn’t work… what’s important right now, is to not get hit by those.’
Gary was unsure if he was making the right decision or not, but it was a gamble in the first place coming into here, as a last resort he could always use that, he was sure that would take care of them.

‘I can see their movements, I’m just not fast enough.’
While the fighting, Gary noticed a few things, he could always see what the person was doing. His eyes were no longer that of a human, but what he couldn’t do was avoid them. Right now, he was gambling that the increased speed would be enough, and having one point still unused, Gary had placed them all now in Dexterity.
The Grey coloured members seemed to be somewhat confused about whether they should attack a suspected Altered, but just like before, he was sure that the others would soon attack him again.
Taking this chance, he ran forward, and this time, one of the members swung a plank. Gary could see it, and moved to the side, spinning as he down this he readied his elbow and swung it right into the face of another.

Another one tried hitting him, but he was able to kick the person’s knee before they got closer and Gary started to run again, trying to not get hit.
‘I learn a lot from Innu… I don’t know if he knew something like this was going to happen, but if I can’t fight multiple opponents, then I need to try to make it, so I can fight them one on one!” Gary thought.
When chasing him, the speed of the members varied, and it only took a few hits for Gary to deal with them. He quickly turned around, and went for a sweeping kick, kicking the leading person and making him fall flat on his face.
The next second, Gary slammed his foot on top of the fallen one’s head.

“What the h.e.l.l is going on!” A person shouted as the metal door to one of the containers opened up.
‘There… I can smell it! It’s Marie!’ Gary’s eyes were now locked onto Buffin.

Outside, the grey colour members were struggling just as much with the intruders, if not even more so. The three of them had managed to defeat a couple of members as they made their way to the warehouse.
Now, with their backs facing the entrance, they were going to make sure no one entered. The three of them were able to cover their front, and not moving, there was no way for others to get behind them either. That was, unless someone had come out of the warehouse.
Yet, Kai had informed the others to trust Gary, that they wouldn’t be coming out, the next person that would be coming out was him and Marie.
“Who are these teenagers? They took out ten of our guys already…and there’s only three of them.” One of the members said, acting cautiously.
At that moment, Innu peaked towards Kai.
‘Who is he…his skills aren’t any less than mine or Austin’s, heck… I don’t want to admit it, but they might be even better. So why is he leaving everything to Gary?’ Innu wondered.
“Oh, what do we have here?” A voice said from behind the grey gang colour members. “We didn’t think you would turn up so soon, but where’s the green haired one?”
Two red haired teenagers walked through the colour gang members, as it looked like they had come back from somewhere, they had shopping bags on them, so probably grabbing some food.
“Turn up so soon?” Kai said, clenching his fist. “Now I see, the grey colour gang asked you to join them after this fight…you were the ones that did that to the Wolf’s Pool Club!”
The others weren’t as quick to catch on, but knowing this, their rage was boiling inside them as well.
“You guys have some b.a.l.l.s!” Innu shouted. “We kicked your a.r.s.e once, and now you decide to mess with us again, well now we’ll just have to do it all over again!” Innu shouted.
It looked like Innu was ready for round two and Austin was willing to go forward as well, but before they could move, Kai went ahead instead.
“No, please, I want to handle this one.” Kai requested.
