Chapter 557 A Hotheaded Mistake

The longer the situation was lasting, the harder it was for Gary to make a decision as to what was the best choice for him, because now he was on a time scale. Midwak was getting stronger in this fight and he needed to get even stronger than him, but he couldn't even defeat the Altered that were in front of him that Midwak had managed to defeat so easily.

'I hate to say it, but right now I could really do it with some help. I'm an idiot, just because it worked out last time, I thought that it would work out this time.' Gary thought, as he looked at the Altered that had started to form a formation making it so Gary was unable to escape.

There was an Altered that could fly and shoot out stingers from its forearms, Gary hadn't been hit yet by them but could only assume that they were somewhat poisonous. Then there was the Altered that had multiple sharp limbs coming out from the side of its body.

It was one of the more difficult ones for Gary to deal with since his tough hide wasn't thick enough to block the hits. Other than them, there were three more. One seemed to change his body into something that was as thick as a tree's trunk.

It had hit him once, already sending him into the wall. When looking at the Altered, he looked like a regular human which meant he had good control of changing his body at a fast rate.

On top of that, there was one Altered whose skin was glowing yellow. There was a thick substance that looked a bit like goo, that was covering his body and hands. So far Gary had avoided conflict with that Altered, as he was worried about what the goo could exactly do.

Then there was the last of the lot, whose hands were gigantic, although the word hands was the wrong term to use, as they now looked more like giant pincers of a crab. They were red in colour and looked like they would be able to crush anything.

'Scatterbugs', I guess it makes sense that most of these guys would be similar to bug type Altereds. If I remember from my lesson's correctly, most of the beasts out there are similar to the bugs we have today. I guess I just have to be thankful for one thing, and that's the fact that I don't have to go against Slith, whatever he was.' Gary thought.

The first one to act out of the entire group looked to be the Altered that was mostly human in form. When he raised his hand, it soon started to grow large like that of a tree trunk and extended out, then with its full force, it swung it down toward Gary.

Usually, Gary would use his speed to avoid a hit, but that was when one of the Altereds fired his stingers towards Gary's right. They weren't aimed at him, but just slightly off so he wouldn't move and on the other side, the strange yellow goo Altered was throwing something out of his body towards that side as well.

When it hit the door behind him, Gary could see it solidifying, he was glad that he didn't try and test what it did. The thing was, now Gary knew exactly what they were doing, they had trapped him and he had no choice, but to take the hit.

'I guess I have no choice, I was thinking of doing this anyway.' Gary thought. 'If I transform into my full form, I will be at full strength. It will use a lot of energy, but after beating these guys and eating them up, I'll be able to take on Midwak. It's the only way to beat them and win this fight!'

As the large attack from the Altered was coming down, Gary was bracing himself and was ready to use his skill, when a strange scent had entered his nose.

"Let me deal with this!" A voice said, and soon a man that was larger than Gary had appeared by his side casting a shadow over him. He grabbed onto the large tree trunk, bending his knees slightly and holding on to it. As the man breathed, steam came out from his large rounded nostrils.

"Austin?" Gary asked.

"Get your hands off our boss!" Austin shouted, as he lifted the person by the end of his trunk and slammed him right into the wall. The person's arm started to shrink, and as it did Austin had lost grip of the Altered.

Soon after him though, the rest had entered into the room, Olivia, Innu, and lastly Marie as well, all of them wearing the masks on their faces and wearing the black and gold uniform.

"The rest of the gang has shown up?" the red handed Altered said. "This isn't going to be an easy fight."

Soon, though, steps could be heard from behind, a topless man was walking, blood dripping from his mouth covering his chest. He no longer had shoes on either due to his transformation and only part of his trousers were left on.

Midwak had finished eating the other Altereds and now, he was ready to join the fight as well. In this case it felt like when one door opened, another one had just closed right in front of his face.

"There's only one way to win this fight." Gary gritted his teeth, because he didn't want to say it, but from what he had seen, it was the only way they could win. The only thing was, it had a high chance of one of his friends dying, but it was either one, or they all died.

"Everyone!" Gary shouted. "Focus on the topless man, the Werewolf. I don't expect you to win, but just hold him back for as long as you can, and I have one more order for you. Don't die!"

This was the only way Gary could see them winning, Gary needed to defeat the Altered to level up more, consume their bodies and evolve if he had any chance, and unfortunately his friends would have to be his shield, but just how long would they be able to hold that monster back?

[Full transformation has begun]

"AWOOOO!"

[Alpha's howl has been used, a ten percent boost has been given to those in your pack!]
