Some in the crowd had already exited from the fighting arena in fear for their lives, as they noticed something was wrong. Most guessed that Haze had turned into a crazed Altered. It had happened a few times in an AFC match before, when one was pushed too far, this one just seemed more out of the blue.
Still, the majority stayed watching the fight, because they knew that they had nothing to fear, because if it ever became serious then the two top ranked a.s.sistants would have gotten involved. If the crowd saw them two get a beat down, then maybe they would have panicked a little.
Those that did get to stay, were happy they did, very happy.
“Did you--Di-Di Did you see that rookie!” The commentator stuttered. “Without transforming, Gary Dem managed to take out Haze Brunt and in style as well!”
“You mean, take him out for a second time!” The other commentator added.
Everyone knew it was an impressive feat, because of the destructive powers utilised by Haze that everyone had witnessed. They all knew they had witnessed something special as they continued to chant Gary Dem’s name.
“Ga-ry! Ga-ry!”
Pinky, one of the Ref’s, turned to Gullen chewing his pink bubble gum.
“See, what did I tell you, there was no need for us to get involved and it looks like this rookie is something else.”
“You’re right about that. This person, I can see him breaking into the top fifty in no time, we don’t even know what his Altered form can do. It appears that this person wasn’t so much of a hype job after all.” Gullen replied.
Through the sounds of chanting, some of the crowd started to hear noises from outside, noises that everyone where familiar with.
“It’s the police, someone from outside must have called them.”
“Or the organisers of the event, when there’s a Crazed Altered it's standard protocol to call them.”
Just as expected, several police men and a police woman stormed into the place. Immediately they were trying to control the crowd as they asked them to leave, but the police weren't the only ones that were there. Entering after them were five people, dressed in white and gold.
Each figure stood out, as the individuals looked different from each other, all different shapes and sizes, and all of them with their intimidating aura. Although they were coming in as a group they didn’t look like a solid working unit like the police.
These were the special White Rose Unit, dispatched to deal with cases revolving around the Altered and the Altered Hunters. A group that were Altered themselves.
At the front of the group, one of the taller lanky men bent his knees, and jumped up in the air. He had cleared the large wall of the ring for the fighters with ease before landing on the canvas itself.
Gary stared at the man’s long orange hair that went past his shoulders at the back, but his hair at the front was short like a Wolf’s cut. He noticed the emblem on his clothes, and instinctively turned his head away.
‘Wait a second, I have no reason to be worried about White Rose. They don’t care about Altereds, only the ones that they think are causing trouble, and I’m not a suspect like I was in the past.’
Although Gary thought these things, he did realise the fact that he was a gang leader, and had done some pretty unethical things, that if White Rose ever did find out about him, they would be paying him a visit.
The orange haired man was Kanu Rightfelt. He wasn’t just any member of White Rose, but was actually one of the division's captains. The current fight was taking place in a tier-2 city. One that was close to the AFA, and not too far from the bruiser's academy.
Kanu and his squad were dealing with another case in the city when they had gotten the call to come out here. Usually high profile White Rose members were sent out to deal with these cases, due to those involved.
A Crazed Altered from the AFC, someone who was a trained fighter and did nothing but attempt to become the strongest, it was a very dangerous thing, and many people witnessed that today.
Kanu looked at the body, it had reverted back to a human form. Haze’s heart was still beating, but there was a large red mark on his stomach where he had been hit, and the large hole in the canvas.
“You did this, kid?” Kanu asked, tilting his head to the side, while he was still in a crouched position.
Gary looked around at first, but it was clear that their was no one else next to him.
“Yeah, I was just trying to protect myself, it was self defence.” Gary answered quickly.
“Calm down.” Kanu said, as he knelt forward and lifted Haze out of the hole, placing him on his shoulder. The way it was done was so effortlessly, like it was a small weightless doll.
“I’m not here to interrogate you, you did good. If you ever get bored of this, children’s fighting game, then you should come join us.” Kanu stated.
With Haze on his back, he bent his knees again, and jumped over the cage, leaving it just as easy as he got in.
“Wait, what are you doing!” The coach from the Bruisers team shouted. “That’s my student, where are you taking him?”
“We got reports that an AFC fighter was showing signs of turning into a Crazed Altered, nothing more, nothing less. We will run an investigation into this, and ask for statements from all those involved, including you sir.
“If your student turns out not to be a Crazed Altered, then I’m sure you will be seeing him soon, but if he is, we need to deal with the facts. Who knows, maybe there could be something else at play here, perhaps a dark pill?”
The coach’s heart sank hearing those words. It was clear that the White Rose knew something about those pills and an investigation could quickly lead right back to him. Sweat was running down both sides of his face.
“Or it could be nothing.” Kanu added. “Whatever the case, we will make sure to not leave a single stone unturned.”
The White Rose agents were on their way out, meanwhile the police were continuing to escort the crowd out of the place. Surprisingly, they allowed the rest of the event to still continue. This meant, all of the reporters and journalists were able to go to the after-fight press conference.
Usually this is where Haze and Gary would talk about the fight, and what their current plans for the future were. Everyone was preparing, but before going up onto the stage, Clem who was going to be one of those asking questions to Gary approached him.
“Are you sure about this Gary, are you going to go through with what we talked about before?” Clem asked.
“I... I can’t be more positive than ever, after what happened today.” Gary replied, as he walked away, heading to the press conference table.
