THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

"These creatures known as the Kaijus are what inhabits the surface as we speak" Touka explained.

"We are still unable to identify the creatures... their origins a mystery, but we do know they possess animalistic traits and seek to consume any living being they see" she adds.

Tori gulps hard. 'What the bio-genetics faced on their first mission' he thought with shaky eyes. 'Terrifying! This isn't compared to what we face in wars, we face soldiers, not monsters such as this!'

"Thanks to the bio-genetics we gained visual on some parts of Tokyo... it would take some time to gain visual for the rest of the Tokyo" Hachiro spoke up, pressing something on the transparent iPad he held, the images changing... showing the view of abandoned Tokyo.

"To defeat your enemy... it's best you know your enemy" Anzai quotes sternly.

Kiyoshi caught on instantly.

"Then the next mission is decided then, the biogenetics shall head to the surface and retrieve samples of the Kaijus!" He announced.

***

The meeting over, they all stepped out of Kiyoshi's office.

"Another mission to the surface" Touka said with sad eyes.

Anzai shoving a cigar in between his lips turned to her.

"We all knew it was always gonna come down to that" Anzai said.

She turns to him watching as he lights up the tip of his cigar.

"Which is why i trained them for one year, to get them ready" he adds. 

"But..." Touka began with shaky eyes.

"Can they really face those creatures once again? After what happened to them?" she asked worried.

"Have faith Dr. Touka" Anzai said with a smile against his lips facing her.

"You looked after them for 2 years... have some faith they will live through this... they are bio-genetics after all" he adds in amusement.

She blushed slightly, looking away.

"Shall we head back, Touka-san, we have a lot of work to do" Hachiro said behind with blank white glasses.

"Yes right" Touka said nervously as she turns to leave but then she halts, facing Anzai, she gulps hard.

"Are you gonna go too? To the surface?" she asked curiously.

He stared into space, before smirking.

"I'm babysitting 51 kids, can't help it can I?" he said facing her.

Her look sadden.

"I see" she said faintly, she then turned walking away, Hachiro beside her.

Anzai's eyes fixed on her, he could tell she wanted to say something but she didn't, which strikes him as odd.

He sighs before turning to leave also, at the opposite direction, Tori beside him.

"Did you really mean what you said to Dr. Touka?" Tori asked.

"Why would i joke about it?"

"But you're the General... i should be the one who goes out there with them" Tori states.

Anzai halts his steps instantly.

"How am i suppose to seat still when they are out there on their own" Anzai said with shaky eyes.

"General Anzai" Tori said with shaky eyes, he always knew Anzai has a soft spot, he smiled.

"Then I'm going with you then" Tori said sternly.

Anzai sighs.

"Idiot Tori, if you go which other military forces will be left" he said in a bored tone.

Tori sweat drop behind his head.

"There are other military forces and you're their leader" Tori said with twitching eyebrow.

"Ah fuck it!" he said smacking Tori at the back.

"What do you say Tori... want a drink?!".

Level 12: Civilians Level

Section One: Marketing Hall

Millions of citizens of Tokyo roamed around in the extra-large hall, doing various activities. Bunkers for trade lined at the corners, the center long passage filled with space, people walking to and fro, bright light sensors, bright as day, enlightened the wide hall like daylight. Whispers, talks, and chats could be heard in every corner.

"Ah Kado there you are" Anzai said as he and Tori approached the flower shop.

Kado turned seeing Anzai, he had dark hair and eyes. His eyes widen when he saw Anzai, his lips spread in a wide grin.

"Anzai!" he exclaimed but then realized his mistake.

"Oh i mean, General Anzai!" he said saluting like a soldier.

Tori held a laughter at his weak stance.

Anzai just chuckled.

"Relax Kado... I'm off duty" he said in amusement.

"I heard the news... thought you were a goner after being caught for not having a fraction... but it turns out you're a very important man" Kado said with folded arms.

"No wonder you never told me your last name" he adds making a face.

"My bad... but i had my reasons, but turns out i couldn't run away from it either" Anzai said.

"It's been a year cut me some slack will ya" he adds.

Kado just rolled his eyes, it then lands on Tori.

"Oh... this is Misato Tori, my right hand man" Anzai introduced.

"Hello Kado here" he said with a smile against his lips.

Tori smiled too, liking the middle age man.

"Now, we came for drinks, its free time after all" Anzai said wrapping his arm around Kado's neck, much to his disagreement.

***

Few Hours Later

Bar

"Let's drink our sorrows away" Anzai said lifting his glass of beer.

Kado did too with flushed cheeks.

Tori at the other end watch with white eyes, they turned to him with scary looks, making him jump a bit.

"Go on Tori-san have a drink" Kado said urged.

"I will pass" Tori said as politely as he could.

"Just take the damn drink will ya!" Anzai said with beaming red eyes.

"Yes sir!" He said haste quickly gulping down his drink.

While Kado and Anzai cheered him on.

***

Few Minute's Later

Tori's face fell flat on the table.

"I see he's not much of a drinker then" Kado said in amusement.

Tori murmured under his breath drunk.

"He definitely isn't" Anzai said placing his bottle on the table.

"So General Anzai... how is it going with the bio-genetics?!" he asked interested on what he as been doing over the past year.

Anzai smiled at the question, even though tons of it were classified, he would still share some with his old friend Kado, he was the reason Anzai was alive after all.

"A bunch of gifted kids...." Anzai began with a smile against his lips.
