NOVPUB"And will you look at that," Peter announced as he turned towards the dead beasts and back at Alex. "Kate got a higher kill than you."
"And you too." Alex replied with a scoff.
"I killed four beasts, she did the same. How does she have a higher kill streak than me?" Peter asked with a frown.
"How the hell do you have four kills?" Alex asked.
"Remember? I killed a werewolf back in the forest. And you said we can kill anything killable on this planet." Peter shrugged.
"Tsk!" Alex scoffed when the sound of running broke their conversations.
"And will you look at that," Paul said as he stepped forward, his sword now drawn from its hilt as what was running finally came into view.
"We got more company." Paul completed his words as they could see about three hundred werewolves with beasts in the mix closing in on them.
"I was feeling useless while watching you all." Emily said, her katana shone with an ethereal orange glow.
"You are not useless babe." Alex said as he sharply turned to look at Emily.
"I know love." Emily smiled as she walked forward until everybody were now standing side by side. "I mean, I'm tired of standing on the sidelines."
With a roar, Emily charged forward leaving the others behind, her sword glowing brighter as the werewolves and beasts all numbering around three hundred dashed forward.
"If this is all of you, then I'm sorry, you are all a goner." Emily shouted as she swung her sword forward, a huge wave of Qi shot forward and in the blink of an eye, a dozen beasts were gone.
"Woo! That's my baby." Alex cheered from the side.
"Tsk! Funny how your girlfriend is being more useful than you." Peter said, Qi coursing through his body as he dashed forward, the ground he stood on earlier shattered beneath the impact.
His body speeding forward at tremendous speed. Letting his hands down, his axes slid down his sleeves just in time as he swung them in an X shape blocking the claw strike of a werewolf and then…
*Swoosh!*
Peter shot out two spears made from Qi towards the werewolf impaling its head in a second. Before the werewolf's body even hit the ground, he dashed towards another.
Swinging his leg out, it met with a werewolf's head sending it flying with a thunderous boom.
"You kids haven't learnt anything in so many years?" Paul asked as he lifted his hand to the air, a dozen beasts dashing towards him.
The beasts were of the same type as they pushed off running faster, with the air feeling like it was aiding them as they ran faster.
"You kill them with skill not strength." Paul said as he swung his hands down and from the air, a loud whooshing sound was heard as twenty Qi swords crashed down on their heads killing the beasts at once.
"And for the record, these twelve beasts are added to my kill tab. And for the record again, I'm ahead of you all on the leaderboard!" Paul cupped his hands around his mouth.
"Not for long!" Alex roared as he dashed forward, his giant sword unsheathed from his back as he leaned back avoiding the claw strike from a werewolf.
Then a Qi sword shot forward slamming into its head. Quickly pivoting on one foot, Alex's sword met with another claw strike causing a loud ringing sound to be heard, the ground cracked before his legs whipped out whacking the werewolf away.
"I didn't think you were the competitive type." Kate who was beside Paul, her bow and arrows in hand which she was sending out with deadly precision said.
"I'm not. But that is one way to get them to work harder." Paul smirked and then snapped his fingers again sending four Qi spears impaling four werewolves. "Another four kill guys! Try to keep up!"
"Smart." Kate said as she kept on calmly sending arrows flying one after the other.
"I guess I'm not doing my job properly since you are still here and not dashing forward." Paul grinned as he swung his sword forward sending a wave of Qi crashing into two beasts tearing them apart.
"Unless you can beat me at archery, I don't need to compete." Kate replied as she swiftly leapt in time to avoid a werewolf from stabbing her before she sent three arrows loose.
"Oh really?!" Paul smirked as he clicked his fingers again and the next instant, Qi arrows began raining down from the sky. "How about now? I technically sent Qi arrows impaling werewolves with deadly precision without a bow."
"Keh!" Kate laughed as she hung her bow on her back and strode towards Paul and then glanced back at the battlefield.
"I didn't want to use this, nor did I want to compete. But sorry to say general, you are annoying." Kate said as she raised her hands to the sky and slowly, a huge bow formed: it's strings and handle glowing with a yellow energy.
"Top this!" Kate said and three huge arrows shot out from the bow crashing down in the midst of the battle, dust, ground and debris kicked up as the whole place quaked.
The battlefield was thrown in disarray, screams of pain and agony from the beasts and werewolves rang out.
"Hey watch it you Hawkeye girl!" Peter roared as he quickly rolled over on the ground just in time to avoid a werewolf from falling down on him.
"I'm sorry." Kate apologized with a cheeky smile as the sudden shot of giant arrows sent the battle in disarray.
Peter and Emily had fallen down due to the quake but now, they were back to fighting with all the strength and speed they could muster.
Slowly, the battle was coming to an end. With just a squad of five, the army of three hundred werewolves and beasts were now almost dead.
"And here goes the last one on my side." Peter said as he leaned backwards, blood trickling down his cheek before he swung his axe from below sending a wave of Qi crashing into the werewolf killing it.
"Same here." Alex replied as he leapt back, his sword sheathed and then with a loud clap of his hands, a reverberating boom rang out disorienting the werewolf before he swiftly shot forward.
A Qi sword appeared in his hand which he swung forward decapitating the werewolf in one fell swoop.
And with that, the battle was now over as the fighters all smiled widely while Kate along with Emily fell on their backside in exhaustion.
"Is it just me or is my core now reduced to half of what it once was?" Kate asked as she grabbed her chest.
"At least we got rid of the threats. Now we just wait for Jade to gather whatever information he wants to gather and then we blow this whole place up." Peter smiled.
"And for the record, I'm the winner of this little competition." Paul said, a grin on his face.
"Well, it isn't really over right? I mean the competition." Emily said through ragged breath.
"I mean, there are no more werewolves heading our way so it's over." Paul shrugged.
"Well, I came out as the second best." Peter shrugged.
"Who gave you that? I did best." Alex shouted with a frown.
"You want to argue? I'm better than you? Stronger than you and a little under Jake." Peter smirked.
"Says the weakling that ran away when he was faced with the threat of a Beta werewolf." Alex scoffed.
"You fool! I faced it head on." Peter reported back.
"Whatever! I'm still better than you. And this shows that after Jake, I'm the strongest." Alex shrugged.
"Says who?" Peter asked.
"Says our competition!" Alex replied.
"I do…" Peter's words trailed off as…
"Guys!" A loud voice echoed in all their ears.
"Huh?! Why the hell can I hear Jade's voice in my ear?" Alex shouted as he frantically hit his ears.
"Listen to me, we are all going to die."
"Die? Has Jade hit his head on something?" Kate asked as she grabbed her ear and felt the touch of something robotic.
"What do you mean?" Paul asked as he folded his arms calmly when…
*ROARRRRRR!*
A loud, ear piercing and disturbing roar that was heard on all the streets of the huge city was heard heading their way.
"All of you, run!" Jade's voice screamed in their ears.
"Run?" Peter asked when the roar rang out again and he looked up, his mouth fell agape, eyes widened. "What the?!"
"Move!" Paul quickly shouted as a huge ball of fire crashed down from the sky towards the squad while they quickly leapt back in time.
*BOOM!*
The whole streets shuddered, houses crumbled as balls of small fire was thrown all around burning with bright intent malice.
