The disturbance (I)

A large group of over three hundred newly awakened rode in on their jeeps and rovers. Shouting like thugs and even joyfully singing their song, while getting closer and closer to the encampment. When they noticed that they were about to arrive, they pointed and jabbed with a rough attitude, making many watch them with disgust.

People streamed towards the front with armor and weapon ready. Some were hyped at the thought of reinforcement, but when the words went around that it was Jack's group, their whole demeanor changed in moments.

Jack came riding in a jeep first, standing with rifles in his hand. His cocky demeanor was present, scowling at the players as he rode in. With a snarky smile that could make a baby cry, he jumped off and landed on the ground.

The other cars followed after, squealing loudly as they went into a sudden halt. They grumpily looked around, realizing that the air between them was a lot more hostile than they liked.

"Back up, you swine!" One of Jack's crew, who got off after Jack came over with a rifle in hand. He pointed his fingers and yelled for everyone to step back.

When nobody moved, he raised up his rifle and aimed it at them.

"I said, move back!" The man threatened them again.

This time, people listened, opening up a path for Jack.

"That's more like it." A snarky attitude with a full-blown arrogant demeanor followed after. More and more of Jack's team hurriedly came around him, creating a protective layer around him.

The people that didn't listen were pushed away roughly. Sparks and tension were heavy in the air. Jack's group didn't make it any better as they continued to threaten them to move out of the way. People started to pack closer together, creating a blockage. A few times, they had to fight their way through, trying to get past.

More and more Players came over, annoyed, and upset in what was happening.

A few of the people were quarreling amongst each other, shouting until their voices could be overheard. They started to shove and push around anyone they assumed they could bully, which wasn't many.

Many Players moved in a pack mentality, taking a step forward to stop the bullying from happening. Audrey was the forefront of the crowd, shoving back with his big bearish body. His scruffy beard was a lot more tangled up than before, and his bulky muscles were thicker. Many people wouldn't have wanted to fight him as his intimidating aura would have scared many away, but Jack's people didn't shy away.

Audrey's old guild members from the BlackRiver's guild were the first to surround him; their loyalty still ran deep even though their guild were merged. They were getting ready to fight and teach Jack's people in place of their arrogant attitudes. The other members from the Gold Phoenix came over to assist their teammates, weapons ready to go out in a full out brawl,

"You damn piss hole of a dog!" Audrey stormed, shoving another man who was a bit bigger than him in size, which didn't intimidate Audrey at all. "Do you think you can just waltz in here as if this is your own camp? Huh?"

The bulky man shoved back with just as much force, "You think you own this land? We just wanted a place to rest. Who do you think you are?"

"What the hell are you talking about? You guys were pushing my men around like thugs."

"So?"

"So?" Audrey seems to grow in size, electricity sparking around him in anger. "You mess with them, you mess with me."

Audrey kicked him in the legs, knocking out his knee cap as the man caved onto the pain. "Don't mess with my guild, or you're going to get a bite back."

A roar of thunderous anger sounded off from both sides. Jack was leisurely perching on his car, minding his own business. He was simply enjoying the ruckus view that was going on as a full out brawl started.

Punches, kicks, and even magic was flying everywhere, trying to put the other person down.

Snow made her way through the crowd. When they noticed that it was Snow, the people moved out, some whispering in excitement and respect as she made it to the front.

The fight between Jack's men and Audrey was ensuing.

Audrey was a big man, his fist pounded into the guys that tried to overwhelm him with pure numbers. They circled around him, some with stun guns, guns, and swords, all enchanted with magic.

Snow raised up her hand, sending out a powerful dome barrier around Audrey and Jack's goon. She didn't want any attacks landing in the crowd, making it into a dangerous fight.

Upset by their rude entrance, Snow stormed in. Magic crackling around her, causing many to step away from fear of getting harmed.

All at once, these men attacked. Throwing magical energy at Audrey to bring him down.

Audrey didn't even flinch, magic pouring out of his body as he transformed into a giant black bear. His claws flashed around him, slamming the people with his claws like playthings.

People were trampled and even battered around with broken bones.

Jack stepped forward. He frowned at his pathetic sight of his fellow man being pushed around by one man.

"Disgusting," Jack spoke with disappointment. He leisurely walked over, raised up his hand, and blocked Audrey's slash.

With a shocked gasp, everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. Audrey wasn't the type to be pushed around so quickly. Especially someone stopping him in his bear form.

Audrey grunted, he roared in Jack's face. Jack didn't even flinch, staring at him with boredom. With a wave of his hand, he threw Audrey over his shoulder and into the ground. A loud boom echoed, creating a large crater.

Jack stepped over Audrey's body and kicked him in the face.

A sharp snap could be heard.

A gasp followed.

A skeletal hand blocked Jack's kick, while Mike appeared before him with a sword against his neck. A vicious scowl appeared on Mike's lips, partially snarling.

"What gives you the right to come in here, storming?" Mike's words were laced with anger and poison. "Do you think you'll get away scot-free for doing this?"

A thin line of red blood dripped down his neck. He turned his head, staring at Mike with an arrogant smile.

"Yes," Jack replied. Lazily, he took a few steps back. "I came here to conquer everything and take everything. Especially the girls." He licked his lips. There was a craze in his eyes that wasn't there before.

Jack wasn't the only one as all of his army was in a strange trance of craziness that made them enchanted like they were zombies.

A powerful spell of magic echoed outward in waves, creating a mind-numbing pain. Mike was able to resist the lure of Jack's spell, who seemed to warp and bulk up in size. He was now two times larger than before, giving off a deadly bloodlust.

The others followed, muscles bulging out of their clothes. Their hands and feet started to dye into a purple and black, giving it a sickly feel.

A full out war went into effect as the people fought against monsters' tide appearing amongst the crowd.

Snow roundhouse kicked another, throwing the knife-wielding man away from her. She headed towards Jack, who was fighting against Mike. They were surprisingly head-to-head in strength. For Jack to grow so strong in such a short amount of time shouldn't be possible. She didn't understand how until something caught her eyes.

Jack was wearing a gold bracelet where a large magic force was wrapping around his body like a snake.

"Pathetic bugs." Jack coughed, spitting out blood from his mouth. He punched Mike in the guts with his hand. It blew red with fire and ice, giving him a monstrous power.

Jack glanced up, he caught sight of Snow coming towards him. "Well, if it isn't the Queen of whores."

Snow eyed him carefully. She could see the swirl of magic around his wrist erratically pulsing with dirty dark energy. His grin became more expansive, giving him an even more crazy and eerie look than before.

"I'll definitely have fun playing with you." Jack wetted his lips. He then snarled at her like a crazed dog.

In an instant, Jack appeared before her in a blink of an eye. He backhanded her. An unexpected sting raced across her cheek, making her see white dots. Her body was flung in the air and back down onto the ground.

Air escaped from her lungs, her back throbbed in pain, and a dizziness hit her momentarily. Snow was shocked at the amount of speed and strength that he had. He was completely different from the first time she met.

A foot rested on her chest, squeezing down with his weight. "I have been dreaming for this day to have you under my feet." He leaned over, smiling devilishly with joy—a rapturous hunger littered in mind, pushing him towards insanity.

"Well, buddy," Snow snarled from the ground, "We shall see about that."

Her helmet magically appeared, snapping it shut over her head. A powerful burst of energy expelled out of her body, pushing back Jack from her chest.
