nInside the prison located underneath the base for the White Rose was none other than the prison created for Altereds. It was the only area that could guarantee the safety of the public.

nThere weren’t many that could keep dangerous Altereds in a single place, so they had decided to place them under the White Rose base, filled with the strongest agents aimed at the goal of Justice.

nHowever, there was always a worry, for the White Rose base was also stationed in the area where the country's top politicians lived. There was always the worry that something would happen one day, that a breakout would occur, but to this date, not a single person had ever escaped from the prison.

nInside that very prison, there was an event that was occurring that had never happened before. The power struggle had reached a boiling point. The three main groups of the prison had decided to team up.

nStinger had a group of wild Altereds that loved to fight, mostly preying on newcomers. Calvin was the leader of the North Group; he had a powerful healing ability due to his Altered form. Many had joined his side after he had helped them, but not many actually knew his individual strength.

nThen there was the South Group led by Carter, a man who still was able to get information from the outside. Due to his connections, he had brought on many strong individuals to his side, promising them help for those they might have still cared about, or getting them a few bites of messages that they wanted.

nAll three of the groups, although against each other, had yet to have a spark or clash against each other, but the tension was always high. Which was why the individuals themselves never thought what had occurred would ever happen.

nThe three of them teaming up together to fight, but it was a choice that they felt like they didn’t have because the three powerful individuals that had been left alone so far had been seen talking to each other constantly.

nIf these three were teaming up, then they all knew that their groups didn’t stand a chance against them. They could break up the groups that existed, and the lavish life they managed to live would start to fall apart, so it had come to this.

nNearly all of the prisoners had surrounded Gary, Ice, and Blackjack in the center of the room.

n“Are you sure you want to go through this again?” Gary asked, looking at Stinger.

n“I have no choice,” Stinger said as he stepped back, allowing the other Altereds to come forward.

nImmediately, everyone's bodies started to change in the area, and several attacks came out towards the group. Ice formed a large shield in his hand, bigger than the one he had used against Gary.

nSeveral strange substances as well as physical items had hit his shield, and the attack had been stopped. Meanwhile, on the opposite side, both Gary and Blackjack had avoided the attacks and had dived straight in.

nBlackjack went to the one closest to him and threw out several fists to one individual, hitting him in the stomach several times. As if he had eyes at the back of his head, he avoided an attack from behind and then threw a card straight out.

nIt had hit one of the men so deep in the head he had fallen to the floor as if he had taken a bullet.

nGary, going close to one of the men, had transformed his legs and burst forward with his strength hitting them with the side of his body. It had caused a domino effect almost as the men fell and were being pushed back one after the other.

nAnother came close, and Gary was able to kick one to the point he flew in the air, and his back had hit the wall.

nThey were realizing something as they were going up against Gary; he had incredible strength as well as being agile, but it wasn’t just that.

nWith how many Altereds there were around them, he would be hit a few times. But as one Altered went to attack his back, he felt like his attack didn’t even go through his hard rough skin, and Gary had almost not felt it at all.

nInstead, Gary had turned around with a sharp claw and left a large cut across his arm.

nThe fight was continuing on, with all three of them attacking non-stop. Ice was using his giant mallet to bash anyone who got in his way, one after the other, and those that got close felt their feet freezing.

nAs Gary was continuing to fight as well, his screen kept popping up with information. He was gaining exp for nearly every Altered that he was beating, and not just that, about every five men he would defeat he would also gain a pawn point as well.

n‘This is it, this is exactly what I needed, a situation like this to grow strong, and then when I get out of here, I’ll put a stop to the Phoenix Gang!’

n“Hey… can we really win this?” One of the prisoners asked standing next to Calvin.

nThe men were losing morale as they were seeing their own side fall one after the other.

n“Of course, we can. No one can continue to fight on forever. Their Altered forms will tire them out eventually, and we have the edge when it comes to that.”

nThrough the crowd of Altereds that were attacking the others, some had brought over the injured that had been hurt. At that point, Calvin got to work, as he began healing those that were injured, and once they were healed, they would soon be back in the fight.

nThere was one person that could hear the voice of the others, even throughout all of the fighting. Although Gary’s hearing was strong, he found it hard especially when fighting to pinpoint conversations, but that wasn’t the same for Blackjack.

n‘You think that guy will tire out?’ Blackjack looked over at Gary. ‘You have no idea what you’re up against.’
