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. Immediately, he pulled out a device from his inner pocket and threw it on the floor. They were circular, around the size of one’s fist, and attached to the floor. Four of them lined up side by side. Right when the first Altered stepped over the device, each one of them connected and a powerful electric shock had proceeded hitting all of the Altereds. Elijah, quickly using this, had jumped up and landed on top of one of the crates, and was fiddling in his inner jacket looking for more devices. ’These Anti-Altered equipment, for Altereds like these, it’s only good enough to delay them,’ Elijah thought. ’They are going to keep coming at me, and eventually I’m going to run out. Kanu, why did you bring someone like me on this trip!’ It wasn’t that Elijah was weak, it’s just he was nowhere near the same level as the others. Among the crowd of many, Kanu had met with the Zodiac Roy, who was swift with his legs, kicking them at an incredibly fast speed and they were extremely powerful as well. Each hit was blocked by Kanu’s large crab-like claws, but he didn’t have the chance to pinch them shut as he would do nothing but grab the open air. What was even more annoying was the people standing by the side. Some had long-distance attacks and would use that to hit Kanu in the face, making him miss his target when attacking. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖 Thankfully, his whole body was encased in a hard shell. Even when being attacked from behind, most attacks would do nothing and just hurt him from behind. "A F*cking chicken!" Kanu said as he knocked the strong attack by Roy that was aimed at his head. "One of the Zodiac’s, one of the most talented AFC fighters, is a damned chicken!" Roy quickly jumped in the air and spun his body several times. He came down and struck with the bottom of his foot, his large pointed heel. Kanu lifted both hands above his head and blocked the attack. It was heavy, breaking the concrete ground below his feet. Even more so with both of his hands being used, he was completely open. Several Altereds charged in to attack Kanu at that time. They used their forms and hit him as much as they could as fast as they could. "You talk about my Altered form, when you’re an orange damn crab! Why don’t you stay in the water!" Roy shouted. The Altereds continued to punch when they all started to experience something. They were all experiencing the same thing, pain through their bodies. No matter where they hit on Kanu’s body, it was like hitting a solid wall of metal. When the Altereds took a break, they could see even Kanu’s face was now wrapped in a strange orange shell. Stretching out his hands, Kanu had knocked over two Altereds hitting them away. Part of their chest bones were crushed as this happened, but Kanu didn’t stop there. With his clawed hands, he grabbed two of the men and clamped down, he was making sure that they couldn’t run or get away. "Right now I wish I had some fire abilities, because I could really do with some fried chicken!" Kanu shouted as he swung both of the Altered bodies crushing them into Roy. He tumbled and quickly kicked a couple of the bodies off him. In the middle of getting up, he saw Kanu was right in front of him though, and it was followed with a crunching sound. Searing pain was shocking through Roy’s body, and when he looked down he could see that Kanu had trapped his leg and clamped down with his claw. His bones broken. As a member of the Zodiac’s, Roy should be stronger than even the White Rose squad leaders. They were the best fighters, so he wondered how he had gotten into this situation. Unaware that Kanu was a bit different. Skilled enough to rise through the ranks through strength alone, yet Kanu had chosen to never do this. Before Roy could say anything else, Kanu with his other clawed pincer grabbed Roy’s head from either side. The other members were constantly hitting Kanu from behind but he didn’t care. "You should have just stayed home, and laid some F*cking eggs!" Kanu clenched his pincer, and it was over quickly. A swift crunch was the end of Roy as the rest of his body flopped to the ground. Having swiftly dealt with one of the Zodiac’s, Kanu got up and looked around the place, still seeing many of the Altereds ready to take him on. "Where’s that young one," Kanu said as he could see Elijah standing on top of one of the metallic crates. "I… need to look after him." Closer to the very back of the warehouse, a confrontation had occurred. Apollo had transformed into his Altered form, increasing his size. White fur covered his body, and his arms and legs had grown at least three times thicker in size, as he used his grand king polar bear form. At the same time, Austin wasted no time, his face looked more like that of a bull and he too had grown in size. Steam huffed out of his nose as he charged forward and the two of them had locked hands, intertwining fingers and pushing against each other. "You couldn’t beat me last time, so what makes you think you can beat me this time!" Apollo said. "This time… it’s different!" Austin pushed off his back leg, pushing further and causing Apollo to skid slightly on the ground. "Last time, I was just stopping you, but this time, I have to win!" ** For updates on MWS and future works, please remember to follow me on my social media below.
