Becoming a Monster

"Fuck I'm stuck!"

"Me too! Shit, someone bring a knife or something and get us out."

The duo lost all decorum as they shouted for their companions to free them. But the rest of the guards didn't know what to do. They didn't have weapons like the students did who were able to get their equipment from the chest. Were they supposed to go over to help and get stuck too?

"Hey, give me your sword." One of the guards looked towards Ishii who appeared to have the best weapon in terms of appearances so it was more eye-catching than the others . But he didn't get the response he was expecting.

"A swordsmen never gives up their sword, use somebody else's." Ishii lost the innocent and nice guy look when he was addressed. Being a swordsman has been ingrained into his soul if he likes it or not.

However this is a lawless world and people's arrogance and pride was more sensitive than before. The guard who commanded Ishii's sword aimed his rifle towards Ishii's face and when that happened. The guards' compatriots began to do the same.

The students didn't get this far by backing down. There weren't many that would risk themselves for Ishii's sake, but it wasn't just about him. This would be the deciding factor of how their travels with the group will play out. If they did nothing in support of Ishii and he had to give up his weapon, they would soon try to be more controlling, this was a power move by them.

The scene didn't go the way they were expecting.

"Ahhhh!"

The guard screamed in agony while an object holding onto a gun was seen flying in the air. The sight of blood squirting out his arm made everyone realize that his arm was cut off. But it was hard for the average person to see it if their agility and fighting experience wasn't high enough.

"You bastards! Fi-" One of the guards was quick to start a war with the students but when he was speaking, a small knife appeared at his throat pressing into his jugular. Blood was trickling down the edge of the blade. And there wasn't just one, Alicia's limit was 5, but it was enough to spook the rest of the crew.

The rest of the students braced for battle as well, they just weren't out for blood like Alicia and Ishii appeared to be, but their relationship was complicated.

The guards didn't have someone to be a voice of reason, not against kids younger than them, especially when they had guns. It was up to one of the students to deescalate the situation, but before anyone could, something beat them to it.

"Ggrrrr!"

Everyone's attention was taken away from each other towards the growling originating from behind the webs.

At first it was only the growling that could be heard, but then the webs itself began to show a dark looking shadow behind them. The two guards at first stared silently in shock towards the webs, they could hear the growling the loudest.

And even though Arachne did a good job covering the door, there were still spaces within the webs to see. First the area behind the webs were still in darkness, but the two guards had yet to realize that the darkness just happened to be Fenrir's body.

They didn't realize till they could feel the hot breathing bearing down on them before a large predatorial eye was bearing into theirs. Something red could be seen through the gaps as Fenrir licked its lips.

Intense gunfire*

Even though the guards were stuck, that didn't stop them from spraying at the beast in fear. They felt more fear than when they encountered that horrible zombie later from before, at least that monster killed them quickly. The image of their deaths to the beast behind the door terrified them to their bones. They didn't care about alerting anything to them as they continued to shoot.

Everyone started in shocked at what was occurring. The rest of the guards were hesitant to approach after their recent fire, but then the gunfire encouraged them to move. They moved closer to try to get position to aid, but they couldn't provide support with friendly fire.

"Argh DIE DIE DIE!" The two guards seemed to become as they both shouted the same thing before only the sounds of their empty clips could be heard as they still continued to try to shoot the beast.

After the guns ran empty, there was only silence besides the clicking of the stuck guards guns and two yelling in a frenzy.

"!"

Yet to their horror, a mouth full with sharp teeth and large enough to swallow half of their bodies whole broke pushed through the webs. With the extra 25 points in strength, Fenrir couldn't easily rip through Arachne webs by any means. Even tearing through it would still prove to be difficult for a beast of Fenrir's caliber. But that didn't mean it couldn't stretch the webs with brute force.

The scene was slow, but as time ticked by, everyone could hear the frames of the door creaking and in front of their eyes, the frames broke down, carrying the webs attached with it. The collapse of the wall caused the webs to come down on the two guards as they were now trapped on the floor and attached to Fenrir's snout that was still stuck to the webbing.

Fenrir was still a foolish creature and didn't plan anything through. His snout being stuck on the webs weren't part of the plan. How could he eat his treats if opening his mouth was a challenge.

Like a bull in a rodeo, Fenrir began to grow crazed and shook its head every which way, unintentionally throwing the guards around with him.

Bang bang!*

The guards hit the ground, then the building's wall, then the wall again. The constant screams rang in everyone's ears until the screams died down, yet the sounds of their bodies colliding into hard surfaces didn't waver.

When the guards came to the realization of their co-workers and even friends' deaths, they began to fire at will at the giant beast. The bullets didn't bounce off like the arrows in the past, but were embedded into his skin. The bullets did no real damage but it still managed to annoy Fenrir greatly.

"Awwhooo!" It howled after it was finally able to force the webs off of its nose and making it stick onto another surface. It's eyes pandered over everyone who held the weapon that shot out the tiny pellets.

Boom!

He didn't bother on being cautious with the door and rammed through it before reaching one of the guards and biting down hard coming from the mans sides, lifting him up into the air as he did so.

By the time the body was in the air, the halves of his body came crashing to the ground after being bit in half.

The students had already made quite some distance away from the battle. They had a bit of knowledge already of what the werewolf of Noah's could do and weren't gonna challenge it in the slightest. They just hoped his owner would come before it was too late and their lives became at risk.

"Get over here and help! you rats!"

One of the guards screamed in their direction, but it didn't amount to anything as none of them moved. If anything they seemed to grow even further.

By the time the person finished yelling, another guard was slapped meters away from the scene, howling in pain and shock before dying upon impact. The scene was beginning to be a repeat of what they had experienced before. But unlike the monster before, they could actually witness their deaths before it happened which made the situation more horrifying than the other.

If there were seventeen guards before, now they were down to eight, Fenrir was no longer in his hunting mode and was killing the people while enjoying himself. While he was in the middle of holding a woman in his mouth. His teeth digging through her legs as she fainted from the pain, but was awakened again from the same pain, he suddenly stopped. The guards had run out of bullets by the time Fenrir decided to start playing with his meals and they were all trying to run away in fear.

They tried to run towards the students, but they realized quickly that the beast wasn't pursuing after constantly looking over their backs hoping that they weren't the unlucky one to be preyed upon.

When they looked over, they saw Fenrir staring towards one of the windows on the second floor. They didn't understand the reason, but the students did.

While Noah was going through his transformation, Arachne heard the chaotic noise going on below and the growls that accompanied it. She knew Fenrir had found more prey and she was jealous. She went over towards the window to see what was happening and saw the scene unfolding.

She watched anxiously as each person died. The zombies she fed on were tasty, but the humans that resembled Noah were so much better. For each guard that fell was a meal she counted for herself. But just like Fenrir, she was interrupted and turned towards Noah who stirred awake.

His change was instantly noticed from their bonds. And they could feel something very subtle affecting them alerted them of his presence even more. Noah felt drowsy, but he was more concerned about the noise that he woke up to that he ignored the ringing in his ears.

Crack!*

"Argh that felt nice!" He couldn't help but say out loud when his bones cracked in the middle of his stretch.

The comfort he felt didn't affect the speed at which he walked to the window and saw a scene that seemed to repeat itself.

"Why is it always them…"
