“Block the entrance! Let’s see how they get in now!”

Their base was practically a bunker–without someone leading the way, no one would ever find the
entrance.
Just then, a crisp female voice rang out.
“Too late. They’re already in.”
The words had barely left Theresa’s mouth when Susan screamed. A piercing, inhuman shriek echoed through the chamber as Theresa dislocated her entire arm with a single strike, then drove a brutal kick straight into her lower spine. The force of it launched her several feet back, slamming her into the ground like a ragdoll.
“C’mon, Lottie, showtime,” Theresa said lazily, calling over her shoulder to Charlotte, who finally snapped to attention like she’d just woken from a dream, her eyes blazing as she looked at Theresa.
Oh, Ms. Hall really is something! She planned to take them all down from the start. No wonder she told me to learn from her. If it had been me, I would’ve panicked the moment I sensed something off – blown our cover and made things worse. But she kept calm, got us in, and now it’s checkmate. Even if there’d been no danger, her cautious approach would’ve avoided unnecessary conflict.Ms. Hall is a frigging legend. She’s amazing. I’m her number one fan for life! Googlᴇ search.net
Twin fireballs the size of volleyballs ignited in Charlotte’s hands.
Thanks to the Evoloid she’d been drinking, her fire ability had evolved to Level 2. At that level, the strength and intensity of her flames had increased exponentially–far beyond anything she’d been capable of before.
The moment the men saw the blaze roaring in her hands, they all froze. An ability user?!
“I thought you said they didn’t have powers!” Kurt, the scar–faced brute, paled in shock.
He was a fire–based ability user himself, but nowhere near Charlotte’s level. Watching her summon such overwhelming power left him stunned and speechless.
“ T – They said they didn’t have powers!” stammered Gus, Susan’s nephew, now backing away in a panic. All his earlier smugness drained from his face.
He’d been fantasizing about having his turn after the others, especially with Charlotte. She wasn’t exactly a beauty, but compared to the broken women they’d kept here, she was a whole different league. He thought he’d get lucky. Little did he know she’d be an ability user.
Boom!
Flames surged around him in an instant.
“Aaaahhh!”
Ability–user fire didn’t go out easily. He dropped to the ground, screaming and rolling in agony as the others scattered, but the fire just kept coming–wave after relentless wave, engulfing them all.

Kurt didn’t just have fire powers—he was speed–based, too. The second he realized how bad things were, he bolted for the nearest exit. He nearly made it to the escape ladder when suddenly, a girl appeared beside him out of nowhere,
“Where you running off to?”
Kurt recoiled in response like he’d seen a ghost.
“I thought you were pretty into me carlier.” Theresa smiled sweetly and kicked him square in the chest. The blow landed like a freight train. His chest caved with a sickening crunch, his heart seizing from the sheer force.
This strength… This isn’t just some low – level strength ability. She’s at least a Level 10 strength – type ability user! Who the hell said they didn’t have powers?!
But what shocked Kurt even more was what came next. He crashed to the ground and tried to crawl away, only for Theresa to reappear in a flash, right in front of him.
What the hell is she? How many abilities does this woman have?!
“Eat human flesh, hmm?” Theresa grabbed his collar and yanked him up like a stray dog. “I always figured only zombies eat people. You want to be one of them that bad?”
Kurt tried to speak, to say no, but white–hot pain exploded through his body. Every bone in his frame shattered like glass. He collapsed into a twitching heap, his skeleton destroyed.
Just then, from the opposite end of the tunnel, sounds echoed.
A hatch opened overhead, and several figures descended.
“Theresa!”
Lucas and Theron had arrived. As they came down and took in the scene, they saw Theresa standing in the middle of the tunnel, surrounded by the charred, lifeless bodies of the predators who’d once ruled the underground.
Minutes later, everyone had been brought up to the surface. The seven or eight women they rescued were still in shock, unmoving and trembling, too broken to respond.
“Goddammit!” Theron’s face darkened as he looked around. “My camp’s been starving this whole time, and even we didn’t stoop to eating people. These b*stards–these sick b*stards–they don’t deserve to be called human!”
Theresa glanced at him. “You’re not exactly known for your morals either, big guy.”
Theron turned to her, dead serious. “I kill people. I don’t eat them. There’s a difference. I’ve got standards.”
