Nate's return.

The two bodies that were sent flying back in a different direction were course lyon and Sin. Sin's body was sent flying as he rewind his body in the air before spinning around. He was meant to clash into a building behind him but he ended up marching the wall of the building before hopping down two dent holes that went quite deep into the wall was left behind.

Meanwhile, Lyon wasn't as lucky as Sin. His body kept on skidding on the floor till he eventually bashed his back on a building breaking the wall and disappearing inside the building.

'That really hurts,' Sin thought as he couldn't move the hand that was wearing the gauntlet. Despite the gauntlet protecting his fist, Sin could still tell that some of his bones might have shifted from their position due to the force Lyon was coming with. 'It hurts but I'm sure it's the same on the other side. He shouldn't be able to recover from that,' Sin thought but Lyon still proved him wrong.

Staggering out of the building he was sent flying to was lyon and he was still in his wolf form. He was looking around in confusion till his gaze landed on Sin one more time and charged in.

For a few seconds, Sin glanced at the gauntlet and wondered whether it was still the one he collected from nate or not because the outcome of the punch he delivered was not what he was expecting.

Not only were they no visible wounds on Lyons body, but the other was also still standing and as a matter of fact could still run as fast as before as if Sin haven't pulled out a strong attack on him. 'Did I not use it well?' Sin wondered but he wasn't given the time to think since he has to act fast to counterattack lyon again.

He took a stance and formed his ring barrier again and sent it towards Lyon who at the same time, lyon crack up his throat and spite out a fountain spring of silver that rushed ahead of him and hit the barrier and destroyed it on impact.

Whereas, Sin used this opportunity to get himself ready and called for the red swords to block Lyon's path and he continued his attack by using the vapour breath.

Lyon having fallen victim to this strike before braced himself and unleashed the rabbit ear and covered his body.

Boom!!!

None of the red swords in front of Lyon was left since they were destroyed meanwhile Lyon along with his gigantic ear was slowly been pushed back but Lyon refused to give in to the force pushing him and stamped his foot into the ground.

When the vapour breath stopped, lyon leapt up into the sky with all the force on his leg along with his rabbit skill. He spun his body around and started to descend towards Sin.

"Not that move again!" Sin shouted slightly panicked but shook it off before making the gauntlet glow red and thrusting it at lyon.

[Punch blast]

'Previously, what made nates move to work more effectively was because of this gauntlet but I believe that now it's in my hand, such a move will not do much harm,' Sin thought as he braced himself and gets ready to clash together with Lyon.

However, before the two hands could clash again, the two felt shivers running down their spine as all movements were cancelled and they fall unconscious.

"Really, you two can go to this length all just for nothing," Nate said to the two as he arrived at where the two bodies were lying.

Soon, the others caught up with him and they could see the mess both Lyon and Sin had caused around the surrounding. One was a building with a missing roof and the chunks of the roof of the building were laying on one side of the road.

Another was the road itself with many crater holes and some buildings that has their walls knocked down.

"Was this person tough enough to give Lyon some tough times ?" Bull wandered out. Meanwhile, Lynn went beside lyon and touched him.

"I just healed and restored all his lost energy but his not showing a sign of waking up," she said worriedly.

Nate seeing this was waiting for Lyon's body to revert to his human form before waking him up and soon, it happened. His fur went back into his body as they all shrinks in size.

When this was over, Nate cancelled the atomic mark effect on both Lyon and Sin and soon they started to regain consciousnesses.

The first thing Lyon saw when opening his eyes was nate face then before looking around to others but soon brought his gaze back to Nate. "Am I hallucinating or something ?" lyon asked. He soon received a slap from Lynn which snapped him out completely as he sit up.

"Nate you are actually back, when, how long have I been out," Lyon said getting up suspecting that he must have gone into a short coma but when seeing the place they were at and the condition it was on, He now know that that was not the case here.

"It was Nate all along, the strange group that appeared in the base and all because you didn't ask who they are first this all happened," Levi scolded.

Lyon decided to ignore her and focus on Nate. "Where have you been and who was that man that took you away?" Lyon asked but Nate didn't answer.

"It seems like I have a ton of explanation to make, let's get back to the base for now before I start my explanation," Nate said as he was ready to walk off back to the base.

His path was soon crossed by Sin as he glance at him. "I know, we still have the deal, and by the way, you nearly break that gauntlet back then, you know what will happen if it had been damaged ?" Nate spoke but what he was saying was not the actual reason Sin was blocking his path.

"This has counted it twice you mysteriously knock me out, I don't know how you can do that but don't do it again," Sin said and walked off.

What Sin said was heard by the others and lyon clenched his fist. 'How dare you speak to him like that,' lyon wished he could be guaranty to deal with Sin at this moment.

This emotional change from Lyon was noticed by Lynn and she pulled her brother to other.

Soon, it didn't take long, there all were to base skyscrapers. This was the same building Sin used to live in before the matrix attacked him.

It was still midday and so everyone was given the time to rest, however, Sin used this opportunity to question the former subordinates that recognized him. They have told him how they were freed from the hands of the matrix after being forced into a fight.

After the fight with the matrix, nate disappeared, lyon and the rest of the hordes have been busy expanding nates territory starting from the prison side down to Sins base before also extending it to the hospital base side.

After learning all that has happened, Sin didn't know how to feel towards Nate and his horde. Should he just take the kind act from nate as part of the deal they had or should he genuinely be thankful to them for rescuing his men without deciding to kill them?

Regardless, they are he will just let things go as flow and take it as part of the deal.

---

Soon, Nate called a meeting among all his horde members, this meeting was currently going on inside the mothership vehicle.

The air in the vehicle was tense not just because Nate was present but because new faces were sitting with them and that was Max, Zuni, Cab and Sin who was the prime reason everyone was tensed up.

Nevertheless, this whole tense atmosphere wasn't a concern as he started to speak.

"I didn't call this meeting for you guys to stare dagger into your eyes," Nate said snapping lyon in particular out of it.

"No this meeting has two agendas, one is that I have some announcements to make, second is that I will be teaching you guys all that I have learned in my short trip," Nate explained. Nate has called it a short trip because, to him, it was as if he was out for just about a week, while to the others, he has spent about half a month if not a complete one.

"I will start with the announcement and that being that this base share be officially run by Sin from now on," Nate declared.

For some seconds, the others thought that Nate must have gone crazy or must have been manipulated by Sin, and Lyon in particular was unwilling to accept this and stood up.
