Olivia was locked up with Tony Lock and the two goons by his side. While it didn't look like they would give her any trouble. it would still take her a few moments before she could help out the others. With their way out blocked by the rest of the Howlers, the ambushed gang members decided to act. The Rising Dragon that had worked under the mayor the longest took the charge. D leapt up onto the table and began to run across it making his way to the masked intruders. However, before he or his men could reach them, they were met with an incoming bolt. The gang leader managed to avoid the first one, but one of his men wasn’t that lucky. The projectile pierced an inch deep into his body, not enough to kill him but more than enough to make him scream in pain, unable to move his muscles. 'It looks like all that training wasn’t for nought.' Marie thought to herself. A proud, satisfied grin formed on her face as she held the crossbow in her hand. “You b*tch!” The injured gang member yelled out. However, he was unaware that his pain was just the prelude to the actual effect. Were he able to look down, he would see the bolt had started to light up, sparks forming as a high voltage current was released inside his body. The effect was far more potent than any ordinary stun gun, as it was a weapon designed to be used against Altered. The man fell right on the table, as Marie continued to place bolts inside her new weapon. D had only stopped briefly to gauge the lethality of the weapon. Although it sounded painful, he was at least relieved that it appeared to be designed to restraint rather than kill the target. Nevertheless, he had no intention of allowing himself to be hit. He leapt through the air, aiming straight for Marie with his fist wound up. ‘We need to get rid of her first!’ The gang leader thought, as he looked at the teenage girl’s thin frame. ‘One punch should be enough to take her out and use her as a hostage!’ “Do I look like decoration to you?!” A mocking voice resounded as Kai used a seemingly casual gait to move into the perfect position to intercept D. He moved his head to the side, thus avoiding the incoming, punch and countered with a right hook of his own. The punch was hard enough to make the gang leader’s body flip completely, shattering a few of his front teeth as he fell to the floor. “Next time, think about how you’ll dodge when in the air, dumbass.” The Werewolf was slightly surprised that a single hit was all it took to knock out D. All the present leaders had a certain reputation of being relentless when fighting, yet the Howlers were dealing with them with ease. They had all changed since beating the Underdogs, and they were growing stronger by the day. “Just keep firing away at these idiots, I’ll make sure no one gets close to you.” Kai ordered Marie, as he turned towards the remaining Rising Dragon members. He crossed his arms, taunting them to come and try to get past him. At the same time, Innu locked eyes with the Blood Triangles, trying to differentiate the bald triples. Each of them was using the same type of weapon: a long staff with a metal end on the bottom. They had slowly surrounded Innu, locking him into a triangle like formation, but the teenager wasn’t unarmed. Innu charged forward, swinging his right axe towards the one in front of him. Unfortunately, he was unable to hit his target as the brother to his left hit the top of his axe, causing the weapon and his whole body to shift to the side. Presented with the opportunity, the other two brothers hit the teenager right on the thigh. It was a hard whack, and was more like a slap which made Innu grunt with pain. He wanted to scream but he wouldn't let himself. Innu then went to kick another one of the wannabe-monks, but the pole was lifted in place blocking the attack, and once again two staffs came his way hitting him on the back leg as well as the side. ‘Arghh! This sh*t hurts. Their stupid poles give them the range advantage, so my fists are useless in this situation. There’s no way I can go against three experts like this after training with these axes for this short period of time!’ While in the middle of his thoughts and his leg back on the ground, all three of them struck from above this time aiming for Innu’s head. He could see their movement and their feet this time, so he lifted both axes above to block the incomning attack. They had pushed him down slightly, as they all hit the top of the axes, but with his strong thigh and leg muscles, Innu pushed up, making them all back away as they marveled at their opponent’s surprising strength. Innu charged forward and jumped in the air this time, swinging both of his axes down towards one of them. The youngest of the Blood Triangle brothers was startled by this, yet he managed to lift his pole in time. The axes slammed into the weapon, bending it, and for a second the man could see a crack forming in the wood. ‘The bladed part didn't even hit the pole, how much power does this guy have?’ A large pole had whacked Innu in the rides again, sending him off to the side slightly, he gritted his teeth and bared the pain again. ‘Come on, you useless things! Kai said you were supposed to have some sort of power, but right now it just feels like you’re dragging me down!’ Innu screamed in his head. ‘If you're not going to do anything, then I might as well throw you away.’ Getting up again, the furious Innu didn’t even realise that the surge in power didn’t stem solely from his anger. With a fire lit in his belly, the fighter went after of the bald headed men again, thrwoing out a kick as hard as he could. Just like before, the man held his staff on its side to block the attack, but as Innu’s shin hit the staff, a loud bang was heard from the pole breaking in half. It was the strongest kick that Innu had ever produced. As soon as his legs landed, Innu leapt from the floor pushing off his two strong legs and the poles from the other two had missed him. ‘HOLY SH*T!!! I’ve never felt like this before! Is it really because of the weapons? How is that possible?!’ As Innu reached the bald headed man, he kicked the shin with the side of his foot, and a fracture was felt at that moment, his leg bone hadn't completely broken but it was in severe pain. When he knelt over, Innu shoved the axe up from underneath and hit his chin with the top of his axe shattering the bottom of his jaw and causing him to fall to the floor. “That's one brother down, two more to go,” Innu announced with a challenging gaze. ‘Perhaps, I didn't get the short end of the stick after losing that fight.’ Turning his head slightly, though, he abandoned that thought as he watched both Austin and the mayor had transformed. ***** Please remember to check out the MWS webtoon on BilliBilli Comics.
