The Scatterbugs’ Altered had been able to tell Gary was strong. From the moment they had seen him fight, they understood where the masked intruder’s confidence stemmed from to attack their base.
Nevertheless, when he had entered the room, none of them had been too worried about him. They too were strong Altered. Strong enough that perhaps one of them on their own could take over, or at least defeat a gang of a Tier-3 town.
This was how confident they were, but something strange happened, Gary suddenly became faster, and his strikes seemed to contain even more power in the span of a few seconds.
Seconds before the iron skinned Altered got hit by those strikes, he knew he was in trouble. He had no time to prepare, no time to stop the hit, he could only trust in his own defense. Alas, the strong claws dug deep inside him, tearing his body and the long fingernail clipped part of his heart, killing him on the spot.
