CHAPTER 5: Killing a Pack Leader

Electricity began to crackle around his fists. He a charged punch to the first hunter, creating a fist sized hole in its chest as the electricity burned it to a crisp. He quickly did the same for the second hunter.

He looked at the second hunter with mockery and pity and jumped up.

"Now its your turn!"

He punched downward at the pack leaders head as electricity focused at the front of his fist.

**BOOOMMM!!!** The crater became even wider and deeper as an announcement played in his head.

**Pack Leader Killed, 150,000ep**

"Hey, put your hands above your head and turn around slowly or we will open fire" , a voice echoed around him.

Alex turned around to see tanks and helicopters ready to open fire at him.

'Man, this is bad' Alex thought as he slowly raised his hands above his head. Telepathically, though, he already accessed his system.

The helicopters all shined their lights at him as the tanks moved forward in tandem with the soilders, ready to fire.

Alex reverted back to his normal form while he waited for them to get closer to him. Seeing that he abandoned all acts of resistance, seemingly due to fear, they closed in on him even faster.

In the blink of an eye, Alex activated thermal vision and static blast. He shot two concentrated blasts of electricity at the tanks. The tanks exploded immediately.

"Order to fire!" the Blackwatch commander howled.

The helicopter and the troops on ground fired in tandem. The helicopter unleashed two rounds of missiles immediately.

Tendrils appeared on his back and filled his left arm, which created a ballistic shield.

*SWIISSHHH*BOOOMM!!!*

The shield broke apart after the first missile collided with it, the second missile still coming in hot.

Using the force from the impact of the first missile, he did a backflip, missing the second missile by a hair's breadth.

"This guys means business like crazy", he said, panting.

"I have to get the hell out of here"

Without wasting a second, he ran along the walls of a building, constantly dodging the barrage of bullets and missiles. Suddenly, he pushed the wall of the building and bounced backwards, grabbing the side of the helicopter with his tendrils. He pulled the door of the helicopter, ripping it apart and consuming the pilot. He jumped out through the other door and glided away.

He was still thinking of taking on the second helicopter when he saw three helicopters coming towards him adorned with the strike team logo.

"Oh f**k!"

(A/N : Strike teams are the strongest air based unit)
