A Fight With Monsters

"What should we do?" Nat asked as fear gripped him. They were now already surrounded by the crowd of monsters and there was no possible escape. This gave him chills and he wished he hadn't come with them.

"We fight!" Max replied and without wasting a second, he activated his gloves and using his shadow skill, he rushed at the monsters and began to tear them using the claws of his gloves.

The others saw his action and joined him, knowing it was a reckless decision to begin their attack without a proper plan, they just had to go with his flow. It was better than waiting for the monsters to attack first.

While the boys were busy dealing with the little monsters which seemed hard because of their regenerating skills, the three large monsters opened their eyes. Their eyes fell on the five boys and a smirk curved upon their lips before closing them back and acting like they were still asleep.

"Why are they suddenly dying?" Zheren asked confusingly. For some time now, the little monsters kept dying at every strike they throw at them unlike before when they would come back to life or regenerate when a part of their body is sliced off. This confused not only Zheren but all of them and it made them wonder if something is wrong or just some mere hallucination.

"Stop fighting!" Max ordered them all of a sudden and they all obeyed. They waited for him to say something but he didn't say a word. He quietly had his eyes fixed on the monsters, "just as I thought!" He mumbled and turned around to look at the perplexed boys. "These monsters you see here are just clones, that is why they didn't die initially. Clones don't die immediately," he explained calmly.

"So that explains it... But why are they now dying?" Zheren asked still a bit confused. Just as Max said, they aren't supposed to die so why now?

"The thing is that you have to be ready for a real fight now, those three over there are awake and they are much stronger than I thought....."

"Wh— "

Nat tried to shout but his mouth was abruptly covered by Matt who was closer to him.

"For now we pretend like we don't know that they are awake and keep fighting the ones here, I'll sneak behind one and try to attack it while you four should be prepared to attack the other two, do not use all of your energy or else it'll be hard to deal with the main threats."

They did as Max had said and continued to fight, this time around they did not use much of their energy so that they will be able to fight the big ones. While they were doing this, Max sneaked behind one of those three big monsters, it was kind of odd as to why none of them attacked him while he was sneaking up to them, it gave him some negative feeling about the whole thing and so he decided to rejoin the other boys but by the time he could do that, it was already late.

The three monsters had finally opened their eyes and now standing up, they were all facing the boys.

"Do you think we would let you ants have your way?" The one that looked like Lizzy said coldly as she stared at them. "I told you two to stay away from me and don't stop in my way but I guess you both love to butt in other's business, now I guess we have to deal with all of you. Once we are done, we will add you all to our group and that way, we will be able to conquer this school, not only this school... The world will be ours. Ku Ku Ku Ku."

"You ugly beast! What did you do to my friend?" Asked an angry Nat as he glared at the monster.

"Ku Ku Ku Ku... Your friend? I felt he was no longer useful to you and so I made him useful to me, hah! Can't you see? He's one of my very own. With an additional five of you, my dream will finally be accomplished," the monster, as she spoke kept grinning from ear to ear while her eyes were on the monster that looked like Kelvin. It could be said that she was proud of the achievement she has made.

"How were you able to look like real people?" Ray asked, this was what he wanted to know not why he killed Kelvin.

"Very simple! I fed my babies with the blood I drank from those humans and the blood merged with theirs. Although they don't look very much like those humans, I am still very much pleased with the results," the monster said boldly. "Enough of the talks, it's time I make you kids mine! You two deal with the other four, leave this one to me!"

The other two monsters grinned as they rushed to Zheren, Nat and Harry.

"Don't let your guards down or we are going to lose," Zheren yelled to them as he prepared two large balls of purple light on his two palms. As one of the monsters rushed to him, he threw one of the balls at him but it was missed. "Damn it, they are so quick and agile!" He mumbled as he ran out of the way.

"Take this!" Harry yelled as a ball of green energy burst out of his hand into one of the monsters, the monster was sent flying to a wall. "That's more like it!" He added with a grin on his face.

"Watch out!" Zheren screamed at Harry but it was already late.

Harry didn't see the other monster rushing at him and thus, he received a scratch on his right arm. "Shit!" He cursed while gritting his teeth in pain.

"What is it?" There asked Harry after noticing the sudden change in him.

"I feel so dizzy all of a sudden," Harry replied, holding his head and trying not to fall.

'It must be related to the scratch mark... it's poisonous!' Zheren thought inwardly. "Matt, help him and drag him to a safe corner," he said to Matt who nodded and began to drag Harry who could no longer stand on his feet. "Everyone must be careful to not get scratched by any of them, they have poisons attached to their claws!"

"I don't care if they are poisonous or not!" Nat yelled and rushed at one of the monsters, he stomped his foot on the floor and rocks emerged out of it, he waved his hand towards the monster and the rocks rushed at it. They surrounded the monster and pinned it down on a spot. Then Nat created a rocky spear and held it in his hand, with it, he rushed at the monster and drove the spear directly in the head.
