NOVPUB"Up!" A voice boomed.
"Yeah!" multiple people shouted out at once.
In a big and wide courtyard, a few hundred people were seen training with a single man in front, hands behind his back as he examined the people in front of him.
"Train like you mean it, push past your freaking limit. Imagine the werewolves in front of you and destroy them." The man shouted out a command again.
"HA!" The whole multiple men shouted at once as they thrust their weapons forward.
"Impressive." Another voice boomed as a man walked through the courtyard, his upper chest bare, only a black pant was on his body with a brown shoe.
A large scar ran across his face as he kept walking forward. His crimson hair fluttered a bit.
"Sir Rex!" Everybody including the man bowed down slightly as Rex revealed himself fully, hands crossed against his chest and a small smile on his face.
"I can see the dedication and sheer power you all are putting in your training and I'm very much impressed." Rex said as he faced the crowd, hands behind his back.
"Seeing you all like this wants to make me train and spar with you all."
"Ah! No sire." The instructor quickly said with a nervous chuckle. "We all know that there's no one in the entire faction that can match up to your strength. You could easily decimate thousands of men alive."
"Oh come on! I'm already weakened after that grand battle. And I promise to pull back my strength." Rex said and then he took a stance in front of a thick wall that was used as a punching bag for those practicing Qi usage.
"Let me show you," Rex said as he clenched his hands into a knuckle and just lightly swung it forward into the wall.
His knuckles connected with a small, mini bang and that was all. The wall was intact as Rex turned back to the instructor with a smile on his face.
"See… I do know how to reduce my str…"
*Crack!*
*Bang!*
Everybody's attention suddenly turned back towards the thick wall which Rex had punched and the next second, they saw it crumble down which made them all gulp loudly.
'He wasn't even using a fraction of his strength, no Qi, no full strength, nothing and he managed to destroy a wall which even a double A ranked adventurer would struggle to break unless they went full out.' the instructor thought with chills running down his spine as he glanced at Rex.
"Ok, I see your point now." Rex pouted as he turned to leave when the doors to the courtyard burst open.
Raze was seen dashing forward, his watch blinking furiously with a red light.
"Raze? What's wrong?" Rex asked as Raze suddenly slid in front of him, his heart thumping loudly.
"We got trouble." Raze quickly said.
"Trouble? What trouble?" Rex asked as he turned around leaving the courtyard along with Raze.
"The werewolves, they have gotten to Earth and their current destination is the Fang hunters' main base." Raze said, his face drenched with cold sweat.
*SILENCE!*
A thick silence hung through the air as Rex was seen halting his steps, his heart thumping loudly with each passing second.
"Tell me that the Alpha isn't on the glide heading there." Rex pleaded as he slowly turned towards Raze who with his expression, Rex got his answer.
A short sigh escaped Rex's mouth as he turned towards Raze with a small frown on his face.
"Gather eighty percent of our men. Both weak and strong, leave the rest back here and let's head out to the Fang hunters' city! Let's have our final standoff against those beasts there." Rex ordered with his hands tightly clenched.

Meanwhile, Bane could be seen in a room with multiple screens, tubes, small mechanical hands walking alongside him and his son; Jay Josh as they were busy working on some prototypes.
"Dad, the strike team you had sent out to delay the werewolves, how are they fairing now?" Jay asked as he passed Bane a little screw.
"They are doing their best for two days now. But I doubt they can last any much longer which is why, I'm trying to upgrade my tech after the last battle with that Beta werewolf." Bane replied, a small monocle on his eye as he patched some things.
"Can we win this war?" Jay asked, a small sigh escaping from his mouth.
"Currently, no. But with Jake, maybe." Bane replied bluntly without thinking twice.
"Dad…" Jay croaked out, his eyes moist. "For years now, I have been trying to act brave so I can be able to fit into your shoes bu…but at this point, I can't. This war, what… what if we lose?
Wh… what… what if something happens to you or that stubborn sister of mine?!"
Hearing Jay's words, Bane's hands froze as he turned towards his son who quickly wiped his tears clean with his lab coat.
"If I said I'm not scared, I would be lying to you and myself. Every single day after the first war, I have been scared of not only my life, but of yours and your sister's.
But what can I do? Kek! I'm a world leader after all, I have to put on a brave face and soldier on. So quit crying like a toddler and hand me th…" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
A red light was seen blinking on one of the screens in front of the duo and Bane quickly rushed towards it with a frown on his face.
"What is it? Any issue?" Jay asked as he slowly strode over towards Bane who froze, his hands hovered over the keyboard, eyes dilated as if he saw a ghost.
"This is bad, really bad." Bane said as he swiftly turned towards Jay.
"What's bad?" Jay asked as he gulped hard fearing for the worst.
"Gather all strong fighters, pick a lot of Aeroglides and let's head over to the Fang hunters' base right now! The war is about to reach its climax and at this point, the fate of humanity hangs by a thin thread." Bane ordered, his heart racing.

Meanwhile the ones that have sent the humans into panic, were currently seen heading towards Aurora using their gigantic Aeroglide.
"Alpha, we will be touching down at the Fang hunters' base in just twenty minutes." Ulric said.
"Good." The Alpha smirked as he stood up from his crimson throne, eyes glowing red. "Today, we destroy the humans totally and I will take revenge for them killing my brother and sons."
