Author note: My wedding 20th July and birthday are finally over 23rd of July. So I will be back to writing, and getting into my normal routine. I have not forgotten about the mass release. My family is still visiting from abroad, but should at least be back to daily chapters. Thank you all for your patience and support.

In the centre of the ring, Vlad had to do a double take as he pinched the side of his cheek, he had pinched relatively hard that it started to turn a shade redder, but it was clear that this wasn’t a dream, the Shadow Fighter was in the ring, and was standing relatively close next to Austin.
The others had stopped their advance for a second at the notice of a surprise guest entering the ring.
“Who the heck is the superhero that’s entered the ring!” One of the gang members shouted.
Although the Shadow Fighter was well known among the high schools and those that attended the schools, the same wasn’t true for the upper gangs of the city. The Shadow Fighter hardly got involved in any of their misdoings.
It was the first time they had seen the Shadow Fighter appear in an event like this. One of the men, who were closest in the ring, was still afraid of the brute strength from the Big Mask, so the man decided to go right after the new fighter.
‘With that small of a frame, and that stupid costume, taking him out, will get me noticed!’ Jumping from his position, he swung his arm out, but the Shadow Fighter easily pushed the arm out of the way.
Bending his body down, he lifted his leg up and the foot landed right in the man’s face, knocking him back down onto the ground. Soon another came to attack, and the Shadow Fighter leaned back avoiding the hit, then grabbed the person’s arm, pulling the person forward by their sleeve, and chucked him until he crashed into the cage behind them.
“Crap, who the heck is this person, they're so nimble and fast!” One of the fighters shouted.
“Why the hell is someone even interfering with this, do people not care about the Scavengers name anymore!” One of the men shouted.
Austin was watching the Shadow Fighter carefully because at any moment, he thought that he might turn on him, after all during their last meeting he had attacked him out of the blue.
Since he hadn’t attacked him just yet, and were attacking the other gang members, he was starting to think the Shadow Fighter had another gender.
“Is this the case that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?” Austin asked.
Austin had picked up the injured Sharkey who had already passed out, and was holding him over his shoulder. He knew he was still alive, but he wasn’t quite sure how much longer he would have if he didn’t get to the hospital soon.
“I was wrong about you.” The Shadow Fighter eventually answered. “I never expected to see anyone at one of these events jump in, in the middle of all of this, to save another person’s life.
“Even for me, it would be something that I would have to turn a blind eye to, I can’t let two people like this, in a city like this, where there are rotten people all around die right in front of me.”
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm The Shadow Fighter tensed his fists as he said these words.
‘It was as I expected.’ Austin thought. ‘Based on all of the stories Vlad told me, the shadow fighter isn't a bad person. He was always going against the other school gangs, and when he fought against me, he just thought that I was like them.’
Regardless of this point, Austin was still curious as to who this Shadow Fighter was, for him to be so skilled, and even have the strength and the mental capacity to face real gangsters with weapons.
“Does it look like I was about to die?” Austin replied back.
The man who had entered from before, had taken off most of his clothing. Ripping off his top revealing his chiselled body under and only leaving on his trousers. It was the man who was with the daughters of the scavengers.
“If you were just going up against all of these scraps, then I would have never stepped in.” The Shadow Fighter said. “But now that he has entered, even with the two of us, I don’t think we’ll be able to take him on.”
Austin looked at the man, sure his body was impressive, but there had to be another reason why the Shadow Fighter was worried.
The man’s whole body started to change. The side of his neck was getting thicker, spreading out, while his arms were changing completely along with scales on his face. His hands now had a head on it, one that looked like that of a snake, while having two large fangs coming out of them, and it was the same for his head as well. In total there were three heads of a snake on one body along with the two arms.
“I see why you're worried now, it’s an Altered.” Austin said.
“Vixen has been the family guard for two generations. He is the leader's right hand man, and looks after the daughters whenever he is needed. Even though he should be protecting the others, the fact that he has stayed here means you have caught his attention and that’s bad news.
“Now that an Altered is involved, it's impossible for us to win this fight. The best thing we can do is run away.” The Shadow Fighter suggested.
Austin wasn’t afraid though, because he too was an Altered as well. Perhaps it would be the first fight that would make it so he had to use a fraction of his power since coming here.
Shifting his feet, he was ready to go up ahead, as the other members had taken a step back believing that Vixen could solve everything.
“Even if we can hold off Vixen for a while, others will come.” The Shadow Fighter said, seeing Austin step forward. “Maybe I was wrong about you as well. I thought you had stepped in because you wanted to save that person’s life on your shoulder. If you fight now, then it will only lower the chances of us saving him.”
In the middle of Austin thinking about what to do, Vixen made the first move, as he jumped up, and swung his arm forward, it started to stretch out with its two large viper fangs coming right at him.
Sticking his large hand out, the viper fangs bit down right on the palm of his hand.
“You're right, so I’ll need to finish this fight in one hit.”
