My Werewolf System-Novel

208  Collision

Stepping outside from an old, beaten down cabin, Riv raised his arm to shield his eyes. The light was shining quite bright outside since it was still the afternoon. He gave himself a few stretches here and there and made sure that everyone was still waiting outside, in their positions.

 There were around twenty or so members in total. Most of them had been part of the attack on Westbridge high school, following his orders, and now they were standing here on guard in the middle of the woods. Of course, he couldn’t utilise the whole of the red gang for this, otherwise it would catch the eyes of those above him, which was something he didn’t want. Still, he needed a few to be here for safety. Not that he expected there to be any trouble.

 “Looks like everything is going smoothly.” Riv smiled, his trouser pocket was vibrating and picking it up, he could see the name Brandon written across his phone. Looking away, he placed it back in his pocket, ignoring the call.

 “With the amount of money we’ll get from this, I won’t need to rely on the Grey Elephants any more. My work has only doubled ever since that idiot Buffin got his arse kicked by some nobodies and I had to take in his stragglers, yet they still treat me like trash!” Riv mumbled in frustration.

 One of the members turned around, and the red colour gang leader realised that he needed to keep his lips sealed a while longer.

 ‘Shit, I have to be careful. The others still think that we’ve kidnapped the mayor’s daughter, following the Grey Elephants’ order. I can’t have any of them inform Brandon now. Once we get the money, Tiffany and I will have to leave Slough ASAP. Then, we can live a happy and long life together. I really do have the best girl.’

 “RIV, GET IN HERE!” A voice screamed from inside. Quickly, Riv turned around and headed back into the cabin to see what exactly was going on. The others turned back towards the cabin, and smirked, agreeing that their lander was completely whipped.

 “What a simp.” One of them mumbled, making those close to him who had heard his remark snicker.

 The area around the cabin was quite open, while the guards were standing around it in all directions, just where the forest trees would start. When one of them turned their head back, they continued to look forward.

 ‘Man, I wonder how long it's going to take.’ One of the guards thought as he let out a big yawn. The next thing he saw was a fist directly coming towards his face. It was a clean hit that nearly flipped the red colour gang member, and it was safe to say he wouldn’t be getting up anytime soon.

 “Hey, who is that!” One of the members shouted, as some of them prepared to pull out their weapons. Small little pocket knives, brass knuckles and more.

 “Get that masked freak!” Another shouted.

 Two of them ran quickly towards Gary, throwing out a punch each, but the high schooler was able to avoid it quite easily. Charging in, he grabbed the back of their necks of the red colour gang members and pulled their heads down while lifting his knees and jumping, slamming it to their face.

 Another gang member had taken out a chain and, not caring about his fellow gang members, had swung it out using it like some type of whip. One of the men who had just been injured was merely concussed, instinctively grabbed onto his assailant’s leg, preventing Gary from going anywhere.

 The chains hit his back, hurting him quite a bit.

 [-6 HP]

 ‘Something like that, will never kill me.’ Before the chain fell to the ground or the person could use it again, Gary grabbed and pulled on it. The red colour gang member believed that he would win in a tug of war, yet he was unaware that Gary had used Controlled Transformation on his biceps, adding to his already great strength.

 The chain was ripped from his hands in seconds, and with the others getting closer, Gary knew exactly how to use it. He first kicked the member that was holding onto his leg, while swinging the chain at the original user, hitting him in the leg. Given Gary’s speed and strength, the heavy chain caused his leg to snap and made him fall to the ground.

Jayden shouted.

 ‘I have no reason to go easy on any of you!’ Gary thought, as he continued to spin the chain, hitting the others who were getting close. Eventually he swung it around another and the chain snapped in half.

 It seemed to be quite old and rusty, but that didn’t matter, Gary was plenty strong to deal with them all by just using his fists and legs. All the fighting matches he had watched, all the moves he had ingrained in his head from a young age, the teenager was now able to use them thanks to his improved body.

 Another gang member came running towards Gary, yet spinning on one of his legs, he kicked the charging guy with the side of his foot. The gang member fell and slid across the ground, kicking up the leaves on the floor.

 ‘This new uniform is great. What material is it even made out of? It seems to not rip as easily even if I use Controlled Transformation. Like it can expand with my body as well. Did Kai get this specially made for me?’ Gary wondered.

 Five of the members on one side had already been defeated, and there were still a lot left. Now they were a bit cautious to go at Gary after seeing what he was capable of.

 ‘This guy is dangerous. We need backup. Why aren’t the other guys coming over to help us? What are they doing?” One of the members had informed those on the other side about the intruder, though he had yet to receive a reply. It was at that moment that they could see another intruder come in from the side. He was walking calmly, approaching the cabin, and the whole group turned to look at him.

 “Looks like I'm in the right place.” The man in a sport shirt said, cracking his knuckles as he got into a fighting stance, at the same time Gary recognised who the person was. How could he not? Not only had Gary seen him on TV multiple times before, he had even been saved by him.

 It was none other than Jayden Tiger, one of the top 50 Altered fighters of their country.

 ‘What is he doing here?’ Gary wondered. ‘It can’t be… is he… working with the red colour gang?! No, that should be impossible. They’re too small for that. … Shit, could it be that the Grey Elephants are his sponsors like the Underdogs are for Kirk?!’

 The next second, Jayden had run across the area, and threw a fist, but it wasn’t aimed towards the red colour gang members, instead it was coming straight for Gary.

 “I have a good sense for these things. You look like the strongest, so it's best to deal with you first!” Jayden shouted.
