Chapter 24: Unexpected Foes

As the team continued to free the prisoners, they suddenly found themselves face-to-face with three test subjects who had been transformed by the Meta gene experiments.

A teenage boy with superhuman strength charged at Warrek, his eyes wild and uncontrolled. "Get away!" Warrek shouted, dodging the boy's powerful blows.

A 12-year-old boy with wind manipulation abilities launched a gust of air at Lawren, sending her stumbling back. "Wynter, can you—"

Before Lawren could finish, a teenage girl with vampiric abilities and time manipulation powers appeared, her eyes flashing with supernatural energy. She reached out a hand, and time seemed to slow around her.

"Time's not on our side," Joffrey muttered, as the team struggled to contain the three test subjects.

The battle was intense, with the team's powers pushed to the limit. But they refused to give up, knowing they had to protect the innocent and stop the sinister experiments.
