Chapter 548 Take The Casino (Part 5)
The Altered students along with Austin had all arrived in the main gambling hall. They had quickly transformed and were beginning to make quick work of those that were in front of them. However, Izzy hadn't transformed but she was still beyond skilled enough to take on those that were in front of her.
As the fighting went on though, everyone noticed something. The fighting seemed endless, when looking up, there looked to be the same amount of people in the room as there were before. On top of that, these weren't your regular gang members.
Everyone had to stay vigilant because of the others' skills. If they were to relax for a moment or so, or make a small mistake they would pay the price, and having been hit a few times already due to them breaking concentration, they knew this was true.
'We can't keep fighting like this.' Izzy thought, as she attempted to slow down her breathing and control it a little more. 'Although these members are skilled, one can tell that they are just cannon fodder.
'Where are the Altereds, Slith, and the one that hurt us form before? They have to be in this building. I bet they're even watching from the cameras above. Are they just trying to tire us out? If that's the case, then their plan might very well work.'
"They want to tire us out!" Izzy shouted, "conserve your energy, don't use your Altered forms too much."
Gary had a large amount of stamina, but he too was conserving himself, because he knew in the building there was another werewolf that he would have to do battle against. Which was why he was mostly using his skills to fight, but if he was to get injured then more energy would be used to heal the wounds, so he could fight in top condition.
Right now, he was in a bit of a pickle.
Hearing this though, Marie did think of something, a way to win this fight, because the situation that they were in now, had reminded her a lot of one in the past.
"We are going to have to do the same as we did against the Pincers!" Marie shouted to everyone. "We need to make a path, and let our leader do his thing."
Olivia knew about this well, because she had taken on Gary on his own, it was a risky move to make. It would possibly mean Gary would have to face all of the Altered, including the one that had faced Kai, on his own, but what other choice did they have.
"Clear a path? Then I will clear a path!" Austin shouted and stomped his feet. The ground beneath them had cracked and large bull-like horns could be seen growing from his head. A rise in his energy could be felt as he charged forward.
Everyone who got in his way was smashed to the side. One gangster with a knife went to stab Austin but his knife didn't get very far through his shoulder, as the skin of the person seemed to be incredibly thick, making the blade do next to nothing.
When Austin eventually stopped his charge and turned around, there was almost a tunnel of fallen men behind him. Quickly seeing the opportunity and the situation, Gary leapt up, jumping on top of a gang member's shoulder and pushed off, sending him to the ground and Gary up in the air.
He landed in the tunnel of bodies and sprinted right towards Austin who was standing by the door that further advanced Gary into the casino.
"Thank you, Austin." Gary said, as he went past and passed through the doors.
The second he did, Austin turned around and slammed the doors shut.
"No one is going through this door without my permission."
After seeing the single charge and the horns on one's head, the gang members knew without a doubt that this was an Altered, and some of them were starting to turn towards the cameras in the room. Wondering if help would ever arrive for them, because if it didn't soon, nearly all of the workers at the casino would be dealt with.

After exiting from the main gambling hall, Gary noticed how much quieter it was. There were almost no people at all, but from what he could see, there were several gambling rooms that were ahead of him.
The doors were already swung wide open. Whoever was inside of them had already left the place.
'I have to move fast and deal with this all. Everyone outside is fighting, giving me this chance, so I have to.' Gary thought, as he moved forward.
When going past the first room, he could see a poker table and nothing else. The chips had been left, and so had the cards. There was still no way for him to continue on further into the casino.
Carrying on walking forward, when he went past the second door, an arm swung out, and it looked like there was an incredibly sharp blade.
'I wasn't able to smell them. The smell of blood is too strong and is throwing off all my senses.' Gary thought.
It was a fast attack, too fast and sudden, so that Gary wasn't able to completely move away and a large cut was made on his forearm. It didn't go deep, due to his fast reflexes. He had now jumped back to where the first room was.
"I see now that wasn't a blade, that was your body." Gary said.
Walking out from the room was what looked like a double jointed man who had blades separating from another joint. His reach was twice as long as that of a normal human.
"You think it's so easy to come into the Scatterbugs place like this, well it's time to slice you up." The man shouted.
From behind at that moment, Gary could hear something with his ears, it was vibrating and the sound was getting louder and more aggressive.
"Move!" A voice shouted.
Moving to the side and jumping into the room, Gary saw what looked like a motorbike come down the hall and crash into the attacker. A few seconds later a man in a mask came in front of the doorway, wearing a solid black mask that was different from theirs.
"Leave this one to me. I came here to hunt Altereds and it looks like I found what I was looking for." Blake said, pulling out his red duel swords.
