When Gary finally stirred awake, everyone’s eyes turned toward him. For many of the Altered Hunters who hadn’t met him before, seeing him in person was surreal. To them, he was something of a legend, a superstar with a reputation that made him both a hero and a high-value target.
Still, the toll of battle was evident. Gary remained drained of energy, and according to his system, he couldn’t transform or activate any of his abilities.
“I’m guessing we managed to escape,” Gary said groggily, rubbing his eyes. “They’re not following us? Where are we headed now?”
“We’re going home,” Kai replied with a nod. “You did good, Gary. We delivered the suit to the Altered Hunters. Blake and Innu are safe, and… somehow, we all made it out alive, even after going up against Lupus.”
Hearing that, Gary allowed himself a faint smile as he looked around at the group that had been through so much.
