The restaurant had a lot of money put behind it, a lot of thought went into the architectural design. Even the glass was expensive that had been used, ant to even withstand regular Anti-Altered weapons.
This was ant to be Izzy’s first success and everything was going well. Her hard work was paying off and now she was seeing it go up in flas, and soon afterwards being drowned. The wood, the furniture, none of it could be reused now.
But she understood Austin had only done what needed to be done. As the water drenched everything in the room, it started to sink down into drains even lower compared to before.
It was a safety chanism that had been designed but the water was still going down at a slow rate and was reaching just below most of their knees.
“I want every single one of their heads!” Izzy shouted. Her hair was transforming, stretching out like a frenzy going up against one of the attackers.
It was the man with the flaming tale. He swung his tail creating a wall of fire, stopping the attack in its tracks and jumped back now next to Stunker.
“Sir, it seems there are more Altered than we expected, and they're not exactly weak.” The man stated.
Stunker could see that, even the small movents from the strange haired Altered, it was almost as if she was trained. Not just that but the others, they weren't just regular gang mbers either.
What was annoying Stunker more was the purpose of the attack, it was ant to be a hit and run. They were to attack the guests and as soon as the Howlers turned up, they were to get out of there.
They would just barge and fight their way though, but why were there so many Altereds in one place?
“Are you hurt!” Austin shouted out as he went by Vere’s side.
“I’m alright, rember I could still take care of you most of the ti even when I wasn’t an Altered.” Vere answered. “So thing’s are a lot easier this ti.”
The public were dragging their feet through the water continuing to run out, and with the recent attack it seed like both groups were waiting for one or the other to act.
There was a reason for this, as Vere and Izzy were both thinking along the sa line.
‘Right now, we're in Burnham food street. The panic of the people will reach outside and they will know sothing is up, if that’s the case then she will be coming here.’
They were outnumbered and although Izzy was confident in her skills, from the small interactions she had, a few of these guys were good, good enough to even be in the AFC.
“What are you waiting for people, attack, or do you want to get pricked by !” Stunker shouted and a heat ca off from his back. Even the water around him was starting to evaporate partially from the ground.
Imdiately they got to work, the fire tailed Altered jumped up, doing a sort of flip and as he did he swung his tail. Doing so, flas were bursting around him and Izzy was finding it hard to find an opening.
She tried to grab him from the side with her hair, but the tail whacked her hand down into the water.
‘The tail… it’s not just got fire, it's incredibly strong.’
Imdiately a foot was raised up right to her face. She used her hair to block the attack but was hit and fell to the ground in the water. She quickly pushed herself up using her hair, to get distance between the two of them again.
As for the rest, they were all charging right toward the other three.
“Vlad, attack anyone that tries to hurt you, protect yourself at all costs!” Vere shouted.
Most of the Altered in the group seed to be the sa type, able to produce strange claws from their hands that could emit flas. They ca running at them with their hands looking as if they were on fire.
A couple of them struck, and Vlad was mostly dodging, as he moved back one of his tentacles even hit the water, Cushing it over one of them. Vere saw this as the perfect opportunity and pounced on one of them.
Her cow-like fist had clobbered right into the man’s face, nearly causing a dent in it as he fell to the ground. His body fell into the water and it didn’t look like he was going to get back up.
Right now, they weren't going to care for the other side though, because it was clear this was a fight to the death.
With Austin, he had done the sa, he had avoided one of the claw hits and with perfect timing through an almighty punch. As he did a man was sent flying back. The water on the floor had split as if it was trying to divide it into two waves.
He continued until his back had hit the bar, right where Stunker was now standing on top of.
“Do I really have to get involved with a tier-2 gang, what is this!” Stunker thought.
Out from his back, he had pulled out a tal pack, and in the pack there were several darts inside made of tal. Pulling it out, he held one of them firmly in his hands.
“Now which one of this lot is going to cause the most trouble?”
Stunker could see Izzy and his right hand man going against each other, it seed like he had the upper hand so it didn’t matter too much over there. It was the others that were struggling.
“Alright, let’s see how you deal with this.” Stunker smiled.
Austin waited for the right mont, and when he was ready, he swung his fist again. All he had to do was get rid of these guys one at a ti and then he would get rid of their leader.
In the middle of swinging his fist through, coming right at him like a bullet on fire, he saw sothing pass his eye, and it hit him right in the chest. A flaming dart pierced his skin, and it was bruising, igniting with power.
It was a strong hit as well causing him to flush and miss his punch entirely, the mber then with his flaming hand had punched Austin right on the chin. It made a cut and a searing sensation below.
Ignoring it, Ausitn lifted both hands and swung them down on top of the man. His legs were crushed as he fell back into the water, but right after that move, several more flaming darts ca out, hitting Austin in the chest one after the other.
The heat was rising on his skin, and the blood was dripping from his body.
“AUSTIN!!!!” Vere scread.
