The bodyguards didn't hesitate as they were finally allowed to go all out and not stuck reserving their power in order to protect the boss.
The first person dashed forward with great speed with his body bubbling and growing at a quick rate as he activated his transformation ability and turned into a massive 7-foot-tall white ape beast.
The remaining two guards also ignited their own abilities ready to execute their boss's command.
The ape beast made a run for Leon. Leon activated his speed ability and was about to dash away to safety, but suddenly his leg muscles completely locked him, restricting him from taking another step.
Everything happened so quickly that nobody could react in time and the ape beast successfully grabbed Leon from his legs.
Leon instantly activated his gardening ability which he applied to his entire body to protect himself from the beating he was about to receive.
The ape smashed Leon on the ground multiple times like a kid throwing a doll around before finally swinging him in the air and throwing him across the room and straight into a pile of boxes near the entrance.
"NOOO!" An echoey voice resounded from within the mist that continued to shrink as Angela witnessed how Leon was defeated while she was unable to do anything.
The ape quickly rushed toward Mako next who had barely recovered at all and was on his last legs with the the two other guards each rushing in from the right and left of the ape.
Victor began to laugh maniacally as he knew he had won this battle and now he had even greater news to give his employer.
However, Victor wasn't expecting what was going to happen next.
The ape beast lunged high up in the air, hoping to crush Mako underneath his weight. However, the girl to the ape's left who was building up a strong attack suddenly got cut off by a big wall of ice that blocked her path.
Similarly, the man who was rushing in with his short sword power weapon from the ape's right suddenly got blasted back with many explosions erupting from under his feet.
Victor's laughter got cut shot as he observed two new abilities enter into the battle. Looking back he noticed that the third boy that had originally showed up had fully recovered and had caused the explosions blasting away his guard.
'But then who created that ice w...' Victor thought as he turned around to see where the trail of ice had come from and what he saw left him in complete shock.
From the entrance that Victor and his guards had come out of, now stood two figures that he had enjoyed torturing a whole lot.
It was Erin and Bill!
Both Erin and Bill's were glowing which meant that they had activated their mutant genes, but Iris was nowhere to be seen.
The two didn't say a word as they quickly began to move upon their entry. Erin dashed forward to tackle the girl guard while Nathan also moved forward with mini-explosions erupting all over his arms, ready to tackle the male guard all the while the ape beast was still in mid-air lunging forward to crush Mako.
Things had taken a very quick turn as now everyone had one opponent that they were battling against, all except Bill who remained by the entrance and stared at Victor with extreme anger and an Impressive aura.
Something wasn't the same about Bill as not only were his eyes glowing green similar to Victor which represented the Wind mutant gene activation, but his upper body had a thin layer of green aura radiating outwards with all the visible parts of his upper body covered in a wide array of glowing marks that resembled some sort of ancient tattoos only these were glowing green as well.
Mako had no time to focus on what new development Bill had managed to achieve nor what his condition was or how he got here as the ape was so close to colliding with him and he had to focus on his own fight.
He was just glad to see that her friends were alright and that he would ask about what had happened to them later.
Using all of the energy Mako had left he activated his defensive stance and raised a thick dome of earth over him to protect himself from the incoming falling ape beast.
*SMASH!*
The ape smashed right through the dome and a giant dust cloud kicked up with the end result being unclear whether Mako was defeated or not.
**************
Meanwhile, Bill continued to stare at Victor with the most intimidating stare that Victor had ever felt.
"How did you..." Victor began to speak, still in disbelief at how they were able to escape from those power-dampening cuffs and even defeat two of his close guards that he had placed outside their door to make sure they didn't escape when the gang member rushed to inform him of what was happening.
However, he was cut off before he could finish his sentence as Bill responded to what he wanted to ask.
"Those two small fish weren't going to hold me back from the world of pain that I am going to unleash on you," Bill said.
Victor had to admit that Bill's fearless and threatening pose combined with his aura was greatly intimidating, but still, Victor felt like he had an upper hand as after all, this was the same person that he had been electrocuting to near death an hour ago, how strong could he really be.
The same could not have been said for Angela who was visibly shocked after observing Bill's new appearance.
'There is no he managed to achieve that! He should need at least 5 years of training before he could even think of awakening that! Even I haven't been able to achieve this...' Angela said to herself in pure shock as she kept observing all the green glowing tattoos that encased Bill's entire upper body.
lightsΝοvel However, there was no mistaking it, Bill Johnson had successfully awakened the second stage of his Wind mutant gene.
Bill felt a surge of power greater than anything he had ever felt before as he faced Victor without the slightest hint of fear.
"You did something that is unforgivable! You can keep laughing all you want BUT..." Bill said as he suddenly took an even more serious posture, " THE JOKE'S OVER, YOU'RE DEAD!"
After stating the fact that he was going to kill Victor right here and now, Bill was done waiting around as he dashed forward at such insane speeds that nobody even saw him move, just that he teleported from one spot to another in an instant leaving behind raging winds along his trail.
Bill appeared instantly in the air in front of Victor Voss who hadn't even had the time to remove the smile that he had on his face before Bill's fist launched him from mid-air straight down into the ground with such force that the entire floor cracked up with Victor once again getting embedded deep into the ground.
Vikctor's skin stopped glowing and Angela was finally free to join the fight; however, she was greatly weakened as not only was the light preventing her from moving but was also absorbing her power weakening her by the second.
If the standoff had continued for about three more minutes, Angela would have completely run out of energy.
She transformed back into her physical self and also decided to go all out as her eyes began to bright orange like the flame of her fire that was because she had activated her own Fire mutant gene.
Both Bill and Angela dashed forward to deal more damage to Victor before he could recover with his guards watching in disbelief as to how easily Bill knocked their boss out of the air.
"YOU! EYES ON ME! I AM YOUR OPPONENT!" Erin shouted at the female guard, preventing her from retreating back to her boss to try and help him.
The same was true for the male guard who was having difficulty stabbing Nathan with his short sword power weapon as his Advanced perception was just keen enough to sense the incoming slashes and attacks, locking him in a battle as well, preventing him from helping his boss.
The ape beast turned around and realized that his boss was in a dire situation and needed urgent assistance to even out the playing field a little.
He began moving toward his boss as well hoping to intercept either Bill or Angela in order to ease the load on his boss, however, he hadn't even taken two steps forward when suddenly the ground underneath him began to tremble.
[Rage Mode had been activated]
A loud roar was heard from underneath the ground which got muffled a bit by the rocks and debris on top, but it was still able to send shiver's down the ape beast's spine.
In the next moment, all the pieces of earth from the broken dome that were on top of Mako were blown away in all directions as Mako emerged from within the crater where he had buried himself, milliseconds before the ape crashed on his dome.
Mako was covered in the same red aura that Nathan was quite familiar with now and so was the rest of his team with the exception of Angela of course.
His injuries were completely healed and now he stood in front of the ape beast with anger and rage bubbling from within and fueling his strength as single prompt appeared in front of his eyes before all hell would break loose.
[A single target has been selected]
