Chapter 520: A Cry For Help (part 2)
My Werewolf System

Inside the medical bay in the academy, Gary had stayed by Numba’s side who hadn't said much after asking for help. Eventually one of the nurses informed them that Izzy was well enough and back to her normal self. Not long after, she had entered the room.

Numba would still take some time to heal. When they entered the room, though she hadn't entered herself, she had done so with Ian. While Gary stayed by Numba’s side, Ian had done this for Izzy. Immediately after finding out what had happened, Ian burst into the room saying sorry, asking who they were and wanting to take them all down.

But as they were exiting their room, they soon saw that multiple students were being brought in, the ones that had done this to Izzy in the first place. It looked like someone had already got to them, before Ian could.

To calm down, they both decided to go visit Numba, and since he wasn’t allowed to leave they were worried that he was in a worse situation. Thankfully Numba was okay, and now, Gary, Ian and Izzy were all sitting around their friend as he laid in his hospital bed.

“So… are you going to tell us? Why did they attack you?” Ian asked. “Izzy said that they captured her to get to you, but she knew something was up, and then that happened.”

Izzy once again kicked Ian’s shin. She knew that this would hurt Numba, thinking it was his fault, but Ian just seemed to be unware of those things.

“Can you stop kicking me?! That shit hurts! I know it might be hard for him, but we need to either teach those guys a lesson so they don’t do it again or find out why they were doing this.” Ian explained with a small tear in the corner of his eye.

“I…agree with Ian.” Gary added. “Numba, you asked for my help, but since then you haven’t said a word. Just tell us what's going on, so we can find a way to help you.”

Numba took a deep breath, as he was prepared to answer. He was well aware that without an explanation, they would constantly nag him either way. The Goat Altered repeated what his father had told him and his own findings.

Everyday he had been checking the news back in his city and it was getting worse. The constant attacks, people quitting the business, withdrawing from deals, and how his father had warned him to be careful as well. In the end, Numba had even mentioned who he thought was most likely to be behind the whole thing.

The most likely suspect in his mind where the tier-2 gang that he and his father had met. When finding this out, Numba had pretty much lost all hope. Not only was his father's company up against them, but the other cities they had paid as well.

“That's why I didn’t want to tell you guys. There is nothing that we can really do.” Numba clenched his fists. “This is business between cities…I heard all the other towns in the area close by have started sending gangs as well..and I..I.” Numba started to break down in tears again. “Can’t do anything about it.”

It hurt the others to see Numba like this but Izzy and Ian didn’t know what to do. They were heirs to restaurants and other businesses. They could ask their family to send over financial support towards the Cardenez group, however they knew that their family would most likely decline, based on what was happening. If anyone got involved they ran the risk of being targeted as well. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

“Numba…I don’t like seeing you like this. Earlier you asked me for help. I saw the desperate situation you were in and it's worse than I thought. For them to utilise students to attack you as well… for them to get you involved in all of this. I can’t forgive them. so I’m going to help you.” Gary stood up from his seat and started to walk toward the door.

“Gary, what do you mean!” Numab shouted out. “You can’t be thinking of fighting against them yourself. Don’t do anything crazy. This is a Tier-2 gang we are talking about. I could never ask you to get your whole gang involved in this.”

Turning around Gary asked. “Do you not remember what you said to all of you? We are an alliance now, and one of our members needs help. It's only right that I act out, and don’t you remember? I owe you one from that assessment. With this we can call it even.”

“What is he thinking?” Ian stated. “Is he really going to try to fight the gang…I mean even Gary is not THAT crazy, right? Maybe he’s going to ask his gang to help.”

Hearing this was what Number was worried about, more people would be getting involved because of him.

“Numba I wouldn’t worry too much. Look if anything happens to you and your family, we will look after you. As for Gary, I know you're worried about him, but I’ll be honest it's unlikely his gang will get involved.

“Gary is just someone the gang sponsored. Sure he might have some say, but to utilise a whole group to go up against a Tier-2 gang won’t be possible. No gang would start a gang war just because of the request of a member.”

The second Gary had exited from the room, the smile disappeared from his face, and he grabbed his phone, pressing the speed dial number. It only wrangled a couple of times before he got an answer.

“How are you doing, Green Fang?” Kai asked.

“Kai… I need you to prepare the whole gang.” Gary asked. “I’m asking you all for a favour, as the leader of the Howlers.”

    In the future this would be remembered as a very important day for the gang known as the Howlers.
    Thanks to Kai's gang tiered system, it was relatively easy to pass on the message. All Olivia, Innu, Austin, and Marie had to do was inform the people directly below them who would do the same until the entire gang knew what had happened and what Gary intended to do about it.
    "Taking on an entire Tier-2 City... and not just any but Notsburg and their Scatterbugs... I have heard that our leader was apparently reckless but to this degree? I heard those guys are strong enough that some Tier-1 gangs come to THEM to ask for help."
    "I feel you, man. I've seen for myself that our masked bosses are strong, but can we really do this? We're just a Tier-3 gang. If our boss wants to expand, shouldn't we try and go against lower tier places first... this is a big jump?"
    "Didn't you get the same message as the rest of us? We don't have to come, only those that are interested in taking part. It seems like this is a personal grudge. According to my superior, they took out 'Fox' yesterday, so the boss wants revenge."
    "I'm glad that I won't get into trouble for not coming then. Still, if they're powerful enough to take him out, doesn't that mean that the Scatterbugs have the power to take out our core members in our own territory? If that's the case though and only the core members go out, won't they 100% lose this fight? In that case, what happens to the Howlers?" "My guess is that someone else will take over. Anyway, I'm out. No matter how much they're willing to pay for me to come, there's no point in joining a losing fight. I still need to be alive to be able to spend it."

    Conversations like these were happening all over Slough. Naturally, news didn't just spread to those in the Howlers, though, it also spread to important figures behind the scenes in Slough. Among them were the leaders of gangs who had been suppressed, and of course a particular mayor who sat in his office.
    'Hahaha, finally things are looking up! If I had known that those bastards would find themselves such a powerful enemy I would have waited by the side and enjoyed the show!' Ben heartily laughed in his office. 'This is perfect, the Howlers will fail, and the Scatterbugs will see that there isn't much for them to gain in Slough. They will leave, and the town will be back in my hands again.'
    Outside the Wolf's Pool Club, at 8:55 AM, Gary was sitting on the few steps that used to lead up to the door. The club was still destroyed behind him. After all, given how late it was when the fight broke out, nobody had reported that the place needed repairs.
    Sitting down on that staircase, Gary was busy putting together some pieces like a puzzle. As the first one to arrive, he had spent his time looking around for salvageable things in the pool club. There wasn't much to find as the intruder had done a horrific job making sure that their establishment would be out for business for a while. However, one thing that he had found was the smashed fox mask, and with nothing better to do, he had made sure to find as many pieces as possible.
    'There that should be most of them. Just looking at your mask, I can practically picture you wearing it, Kai, berating me for doing something stupid and reckless. again. Well, I can't argue that it will be reckless, but as I recall I'm not the only in our gang to do reckless things.'

    Gary grinned as he as he thought back to how Kai had let himself get captured, on the off chance that he would get put into the same cell as him. What's more when he found out that Gary was unable to do much about his situation, Kai had forced Gary to turn him by nearly sacrificing his own hand.
    'You got us out of that situation back then, so by the time you wake up, I'll do what I can to have our situation with them resolved. Once that is done, I'll return your mask, and if you want, you can still berate me afterwards.
    Eventually Gary saw a car drive towards the pool club's venue. It was the usual limo that the Howlers used driving to certain places. The door opened and Tyler stepped out, and opened the door for Olivia, Innu, Austin, and Marie, each one of them wearing their masks. Gary noticed that Austin's mask was different to what Gary had remembered before. Now it had what looked like a bull with a ring hanging from its nose covering his mouth slightly, and also Olivia's was slightly different, looking more like that of a wolf, although it didn't look the same as Gary's, as there was indented eyelashes.
    "It was a gift from Kai, I thought it was only appropriate." Austin explained.
    Gary smiled and put the fragments of Kai's mask into his pocket, before he put on his own mask.
    "Gary." Marie spoke. "I'll be honest, we're most likely going to be the only ones. Everyone knows that we're going against the Scatterbugs and since you told us to write that this was a personal vendetta, even our lieutenants are unwilling to come. #"
    Gary had been afraid that this might be the case, but as a gang leader responsible for the lives of his gang members, he had felt that it was only right to let them decide for themselves. Just when he was about to stand up and get into the car, the Howlers turned around towards the footsteps making their way over.

    "A smaller, stronger team might be better, anyway." lan greeted them with confidence
    "Before you even try to say that we are not allowed to come with you, let me remind you about what you said before, we are in an alliance and that's what these alliances are for in the first place!" Numba stated. "Besides Gary, you're a friend, and a good one. You would do the same for me, in fact you already have done, so I have to do the same for you."
    Gary couldn't argue with those words, and having three more Altered by their side boosted their strength considerably.
    "We also made a deal once." Another voice said to his left, turning his head, this one was truly an unexpected person.
    "Blake...but why would you... I mean,
    you're a... are you sure you won't get into lots of trouble if you tag along?" Gary asked.
    "What do you mean? From what I've seen yesterday, that was the work of an 'Altered' who came into my town before he fled to Notsburg. In other words, I'm just coming along to do what's supposed to be my job, right?"
    Gary knew Blake's skill from when the two of them fought against a Werewolf before and he had no doubt that he had continued to hone his skills.
    "I... thanks, I'll really owe you one for this." Gary smiled.
    Just as it looked like everyone had arrived who was going to arrive, a few more people started to creep in and fill the
    streets wearing the black and gold uniform. It was a good thing that the core members were wearing their masks at this time.
    "We want to help as well!" Park shouted. "Slough... it's changed so much since the Howlers took over, and I don't want it to go back to the way it was before!"

    "I used to be a member of the Underdogs and they treated us like dogs... you saved me... so it's only right we follow you!"
    It was a surprise, there were at least ten people from the Howlers group that were there, but when Gary looked at them, he made his choice.
    "Thank you, you truly have shown your loyalty to the gang and for that you have my gratitude. I won't forget the faces of those that came here today... but I can't take you with me, I can't have you risk your lives.
    "I realise now, this is something that we have to solve, because what the
    Scatterbugs have done to us... is
    personal." Gary said as he walked to the car with the others and they all got in one by one, driving off to Notsburg.
    'You thought you could end this fight by taking out one person, well now you have a war on your hands, Scatterbugs' Gary thought to himself as he looked out the window.

    After his proclamation, Gary closed the door behind him, leaving behind the Howlers and the AFA trio. Numba's mouth was left wide open, still struggling to comprehend what he had just seen and heard.
    Before the Goat Altered had come here, his father had informed him that during the initial meeting between the Cardenez group and the Howlers in Slough, Kai had been by the leader's side, a green haired fellow in a wolf mask.
    Given the fact that the first contact both sides had made had been through the blonde teenager, Harry had shared his assumptions that the guy in the fox mask had to be something like the second in command. An assumption that had only grown stronger, once Kai had brought out all those strong fighters to defend the factories.
    If what lan said earlier was true, and Austin, Innu and Mary were indeed the three masked helpers, it had to mean that they were part of the top echelon of the gang as well, yet they had just witnessed that all three of them had referred to Gary as Boss.
    Numba turned around to check his friends' reaction, and he could see that both of them had their mouths left wide open, same as him, unable to close it.
    "Hey...you heard what I heard right, Izzy? You're the smart one, so explain to me like I'm five what just happened." lan requested. "Not only did they not tell him off, but they agreed, with a 'Yes, boss!"
    "Unless we're all going crazy... I heard it as well." Izzy stated, taking deep breaths to regain her cool. "It should be exactly what you think. The Howlers might be different, but I doubt any gang would use the title of Boss lightly. It's the title reserved for one person, the actual boss of the gang."

    Numba wanted answers, and he needed answers now. How was it possible for someone like Gary to be the boss of an entire gang? He was an AFA student, sure a very skilful one, but what kind of gang leader would have the time to attend a fighting academy?!
    "Is it true?" Numba asked the Howlers. "Is Gary... is he the leader of the Howlers?"
    Olivia just looked at them, not saying much. Blake felt awkward, since he had seemingly missed the opportunity to get out. He did not really wish to get involved into the whole gang business, but seeing as at least one Werewolf was involved, it seemed wise to find out more about their plan.
    Marie wasn't in the right mind to answer, and Austin was too busy making sure she wouldn't start crying again. As such, it fell to Innu to answer. "We thought you knew. Was that something that he and Kai had decided to hide?"
    It was true, all of it was true. All of these people in the room know the entire gang followed Gary Dem, the same person that they went to the AFA with. The
    confidence he carried, the way he was able to lead people, it was starting to make sense now, but it was still hard for Numba to process, so he fell silent once
    more.
    "How's that possible? Gary is the same age as us? How can he be the head of the gang, how is it possible for him to even rise up that high?" lan asked the obvious.
    In situations like these Izzy was glad for her childhood friend's open way. She wanted to ask the same things, because In her head it made no sense. In the first place, to become an Altered you had to have a big corporation sponsor you. Assuming there would actually be one willing to sponsor Gary, what would they have to gain by overtaking a city, or letting him be in charge of a gang? Even if
    there might be something she was unaware of, how did making him an AFA student fit into all of this?

    Everyone had to have your respect, everyone had to think that you were right for that position, but what was harder since Gary was young she could only imagine he rose to that position or took it over, but she coudn't process how someone would even start to do that.
    "We...are all friends of Gary." Marie answered, letting out another sniff. "Look at us, do we look that much older than he is? Honestly, the way you guys are acting, is probably the natural reaction. Seeing it makes me realise how lucky we are to have someone like him leading us, but it's not just him, it's Kai as well.
    "It's a long story, but thanks to the two of them, we are in the position we are in today. So if he says, he'll help you, he doesn't men just him, all the Howlers will go and follow him."
    Hearing those words, something clicked in Numba's head. It was when he was in the hospital, when he had asked for Gary to help, when he asked him of a favour. It all lined up, at the same time, the Howlers had agreed to help.
    'Gary, you really got involved to help me?' Numba was welling up, a large lump could be felt in his chest and eventually he couldn't hold the tears back, as he fell on his knees and started to punch the ground.
    "You idiot, Gary...why...why would you help me so much, when you have your own things to deal with?"
    Each of the Howlers members smiled at each other. "You should know the answer to that one, that's just how Gary is." Innu answered with a smile. "So that's why, when he gives an order, we're going to comply."
    With that, everyone but the AFA students left the hospital. The three of them sat down in the reception hall to take the time to process everything.

    "Man, I really can't believe it." lan said. "He told us he was part of a gang, but to be the leader... well I doubt we would
    have believed him even if he did. It feels
    unreal, all those guys seem to be strong as well."
    "They must really trust each other." Izzy agreed. "If you think about it, they let Gary go to the AFA. I can only guess that Kai was the one running things in his absence. It's the only way it could work. However, can you imagine any one else do something that crazy?
    "To put your trust into a single person, to not try to backstab or betray him. It seems like they're not your typical gang. and the bond between those two must be pretty close. No wonder Gary was upset."
    Numba was thinking back, going over all the interactions he had with Gary, from the very first assessment, to the troubles with Sty and more, even the laughs that the two of them enjoyed with each other. Did the revelation that Gary was the leader of the Howlers change any of that? No, all of his reactions were genuine, and in fact if anything, the fact that he was a leader of a large group and was still doing those things actually made it more impactful.
    "I guess when we made that alliance, none of us but him knew what exactly we were agreeing to, did we." Numba stated, a smile on his face, but he wasn't the only one smiling, the other two were as well.
    "I was going to ask you about your plans for tomorrow, but I guess I already know your answer." Izzy said.
    Numba stood up out of his seat and looked outside.
    "Let's get some rest, while we still can. Tomorrow is going to be a big day."

        If before the trio had been unsure about the identity of the group of teenagers who had appeared at night in the hospital, it became obvious enough that they had to be members of the Howlers when Marie asked for the room of Kai. A few moments later, their small group headed in the direction the receptionist had pointed them to.
        "Come on, let's go with them and see Gary." Numba suggested to the other two.
        "Are you sure that's a good idea? Shouldn't we like leave gang business to the gang members? We might be close with Gary, but we don't really know any of the other members. Heck, around an hour ago, we didn't even know that Kai guy." lan wasn't too keen to interrupt their group, especially given the
        circumstances of their visit.
        "We've risked our lives not only by coming here, but we also fought that guy. We did the best we could to help out Kai. That should be worth something." Numba argued. "Besides, whatever they're going to talk about we need to hear it as well. After that, I also have a lot of questions I would like answered, and depending on what those answers might be... we might need to find a way to pull Gary out of this gang."
        The three started to follow the Howlers down the hallway, but it didn't take long for one of them to notice. Innu stopped and turned around, hearing the footsteps of the Altered trio behind them. It took him a moment to recognise them without their clowns' makeup.
        "Oh, it's you guys." Innu said. "We heard the gist of what happened. It's great that you three were there, otherwise, Kai might have been in even more trouble. We've been told that he isn't in any condition to speak right now, but if you guys want to come in and see him as well, feel free to join us.I don't think he would mind you guys seeing him, not that he can say anything anyway."

        It was an unexpected response, because the students just never thought that gang members, especially the ones that they had seen breaking bones so easily, would be so nice. Then again, they hadn't exactly expected the Howlers' members to be this young, either.
        "Thank you." Izzy answered for the group, since Numba was at a loss for words. The Goat Altered's anger had been building up, yet this kind of response had caught him off guard.
        As they joined up with the Howlers' group, they heard the sound of sniffles, coming from the black haired girl with pigtails. She kept wiping at her face as she got closer and closer to the door where Kai was resting.
        "You have to be strong, Marie." Austin told her. "We all have to show strength in this type of situation. Remember what the receptionist said, he will leave... even if he will likely end up with scars."
        What was coming out of the students was how close-knit this gang seemed to be. Expressing these strong feelings, it didn't feel like a gang at all. It was clear to them how much they thought of this individual Kai as well.
        When entering the room, Marie somehow managed to stop her tears and Tyler held the door open for the other three students. The room was relatively large, but will all of them inside there wasn't much room for them to move around.
        Gary was already inside, sitting by Kai's side on one of the few chairs. Olivia, and Blake were with him in the room but they were standing by the wall away from where Kai was.
        The teenager himself was covered under
        the bedsheet, so the most prominent
        thing they could see was the large bandages around his face, as well as tubes attached to him. There was a type of stitching around his jaw, no doubt from the surgery to reattach his jaw.

        While it was apparently successful, it was also obvious that there were clear imperfections. Altered or not, it was practically guaranteed that even if he healed from this, it would leave behind obvious scars, perhaps even disfiguring the previously pretty boy.0
        Those that had just entered the room went to get a close look at Kai, they could hear the monitor, the sound of his heart beating still there, but they were unable to see Gary's face that was looking down on the floor in a hunched over position.
        The students decided that this wasn't the best time to talk with him, so they stayed at the back with the others, giving the Howlers a chance to deal with the situation.
        In the end, looking at Kai's miserable state, Marie couldn't hold back her tears any longer and her sobs turned into a loud cry. There was nothing, anybody could say to make her stop, making this the only sound that filled the room. After a few minutes, Marie quieted down, and the others silently helped walk her toward the back of the room with the others so she wouldn't have to look at Kai.
        The silence felt deafening and the pressure was tense. A few times Numba opened his mouth to say something, only to close it again, since the timing felt horribly wrong.
        "The Scatterbugs." Eventually Gary was the one who broke the silence, his head still down. "They're the ones responsible for him lying there. They ordered a hit and went for Kai's life. I'm going to take them out... I'm going to take out every single f#cking one of them and rip them to shreds, just like they did to Kai!"
        Numba could tell from the pain in Gary's voice, that his friend was serious and intended to put his words into action. He himself he couldn't help but feel guilty, after all, this entire situation came about because the Howlers had decided to help his father's company.
        "I get how you're feeling, but attacking them outright was not part of Kai's plan." Olivia chimed in. "His plan was to defend against an attack from the Scatterbugs, before we take the fight to them before they have any chance to regroup. This attack on him wasn't that, they will surely come for us soon, and it is always easier to be the ones defending a location, rather than be the invading force. They're a Tier-2 gang, in a city none of us ever visited."

        Gary then stood up from his seat, and turned his body towards them, but was still looking down at the ground with his fists tightly clenched.
        "I don't care!" The Alpha Werewolf practically growled. "The guy who did this... he is hiding behind the Scatterbugs, and knowing this, how can I just stand by and do nothing?!"
        "Gary!" Numba finally spoke. "I know how you feel... I know you're strong, but you can't just attack the Scatterbugs on your own. Going into a city without anyone there to back you up is suicidal."
        There was a pause, lan and Izzy agreed with Numba. They were just too shy to say it in this situation.
        "He's your friend, but do you really think all Howlers will go on a vendetta just for one guy? Your gang won't start a gang war over one person... Please, Gary, just come back to the academy. It will be safe there."
        Gary finally lifted his head up, and when he did, his whole face was scrunched up, his teeth were elongated, and his red eyes were glowing, looking at all of them.
        "I'll be going to attack the Scatterbugs tomorrow. Inform everyone in the Howlers, anyone who wishes to come with me, should be in front of the Wolf's Pool Club at 9:00. This is a direct order." Gary stated.
        Hearing those last words, those in the room knew how to act, Gary rarely used those words, and it meant he had made his decision, so there was only one response they would all give.
        "Yes, boss!" They all replied in unison,
        bowing down their heads.
        "Boss?" Numba repeated.
