Chapter 118 - Alpha?
"We are almost there" Yuki said before turning to look behind.
"What Haya pulled off should be able to buy us some time" Hiro said.
"There aren't many of us remaining" Yuki said turning forward.
Hiro fist clenched against the throttle as his lips pressed in a thin line, the aura he felt around wasn't much just like Yuki said.
'41 bio-genetics' he thought with a frown.
He checks the map showing on the screen computer on the Hellhound.
'We aren't halfway near Fukuoka... under this 3 hours the Kaijus were able to get the best of us... a bunch of mindless creatures were able to pull something like this off' he thought his body trembling.
*Loud Sound Of Heartbeat*
Suddenly Hiro froze as his body ran cold as a feeling overwhelmed him. 'This feeling...' He thought sweating profusely as he raised his head staring into distance. 'This aura...' He shakes at the familiar feeling.
'Could it be...'

The Building Ruins
A building away, on a rooftop, a creature growled deeply. It wasn't like the rest of the Kaijua but different. It has long legs on all fours, having sharp large claws, hunched back-like position, meat-like skin which was reddish-brown just like the other Kaiju's but was bigger and taller than the rest. No eyes just hump of flesh, ears like a coil with no skin, vibrating like a humming sound, ready to detect anything a mile away. It also had shark-like teeth but having two canine teeth, very sharp like a saber tooth. Two big deadly horns at its head.
The creature snarled deadly, then roared so loudly, shocking the earth.
Everyone heard it loud and clear but couldn't tell from where.
"That sound" Shino said with trembling eyes.
"Have you heard it before?" Sumi asked wondering what got Shino trembling.
"Yes... the exact same creature that brought now a whole building" Shino said with clenched teeth.
He remembered one year ago when he, Ten and Hiro went off on their own to complete the mission on installing visual with the outside world, the strange creature they saw... different from the rest of the Kaiju.

Ten gulps hard recognizing the sound, the same sound that hunted his dreams for a year.
"It's that creature" he said without a doubt trembling.
***
"What's that sound?" Touka said shaking from the mere sound of it.
"I don't know" Hachiro said sternly.
"But whatever it is... it can't be good" he adds certain.
They drove to the building ruins, now riding on the concrete floor.
"We should be off the Kaijus for now" Tori said, but still his eyes scanned for any potential threats.
'Let's hope we are off the worst here' Kazuya thought shaking slightly, still recovering from what happened, the screams and shouts of the bio-genetics still rang in her head, if it wasn't for them fighting and ensuring they still rode, they would have been a goner.
"Everything will be alright, Kazuya" Tori said, his head still faced front.
Kazuya stiffen at his words.
"I will protect you" he adds, his tone laced with seriousness.
A smile found her lips, she tightens her arms around Tori's waist more in response.

Anzai rode almost getting to where they were. 'No Kaijus in pursuit anymore' he thought, his eyes assessing the buildings but still his body felt unease. 'That roar' his eyes shakes. 'Where did it come from?'
Suddenly the shocking roar sound came again, everyone in alert at the sound again.
"What is that damn sound?" Mosu said getting irritated.
Enyo behind him was practically shaking in fear.
***
'That sound' Ten thought deeply. 'It's almost as if...' his eyes shaking. '... as if... as if its calling something' he froze as then his eyes widen in realization. 'Don't tell me...'
***
From a building, a Kaiju burst out, the window glass shattering from the impact.
Touka turned as her eyes widen in horror, it was coming right at them.
"HACHIRO!" she shouts.
He got the signal as he drifts the Hellhound, the tires making a loud squealing sound. The Kaiju stumbled on the ground, but due to the drift force Touka was sent flying off the Hellhound.
In panic Hachiro turned but it was too late.
"TOUKA-SAN!!!" He shouts in horror.
In slow motion she was on the air, her eyes widen unable to process what was unfolding, behind her a Kaiju jumps opening its mouth wide to devour.
'I'm...' her eyes shakes. 'I'm going to die' she thought. 'My Gunbelt its not working... is this... is this it?'
"TOUKA!!!"
At the sound of Anzai's voice she was snapped out of the illusion of her dying.
Instantly Anzai came inbetween, Touka lands in front of him, he held her firm, before turning to shoot at the Kaiju, it was sent backwards at the force of the bullet, blood splashing as it did.
"General Anzai" Touka said with shaky eyes.
He faced her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
She nods, her eyes shakes on the verge of tears, she really thought she was going to die.
"Thank you" Touka said as her eyes circled in tears.
Anzai smiled faintly, relived she was okay.
***
Hachiro took a deep breath of relief his heart almost gave out when he thought the Kaiju's mouth would have swallowed her whole.
All driving actions were seized, all still recovering from the shock.
"You ride with me" Anzai said.
Touka nods going behind and straddling the Hellhound.
"Everyone let's ke-"
"GENERAL ANZAI!!" Ten shouts gaining all their attention.
"Ten" Shino said with shaky eyes.
"It's the sound!" Ten hissed.
They were puzzled by his words.
"What's the kid trying to say?" Kenta said getting irritated by the delay, they should get moving already.
Kashi just gulps hard behind him, he was shaking tremdously in pure fear.
"That sound is coming from the Alpha!" Ten hissed once again.
"The Alpha?" Anzai and Touka said in unison.
In response to that another shocking roar came again.
Kaijus burst out of the building, a cluster of them, like in slow motion, they all raised their heads as their eyes widen in horror.
The Kaijus launched downwards roaring.
