THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Sumi walked slowly as she held her wounded arm, everywhere covered in smoke, she couldn't find a single soul in this, she just woke up a few minutes ago after the explosion.

'Am I the only survivor?' She thought paused, there no one in sight, everywhere in flames.

"Dammit!" She cursed with clenched teeth.

A loud roar came in from a distance, she froze at the sound.

"The Alpha" she said for certain as her looks darkened.

"It's still here,"

"Is any one there, please help!" A voice came in, it was familiar.

"Izumi" Sumi said as she forced her body to rush to the area the voice came from.

She Instantly halts when she found them.

"Izumi!"

Izumi turned in tears.

"Sumi" she cried.

Sumi walks closer but froze when she saw the scene fully.

Akira was on the ground coughing blood. One of the burnt vehicle on him, his lower body hiding beneath.

"Help me Sumi" Izumi said trying to lift the vehicle, it budge due to her immense strength but not enough to take it off.

"Sumi help me... with our strength combine we can lift the vehicle, hurry!" She hissed.

Sumi's looks darken, the bangs of her hair covering her eyes, her head bent down as she watches Akira's blood flowing to where she was, staining her combat boots.

"Sumi! Help me will you, help me!" Izumi hissed once again as she kept lifting.

"Hey... Izumi" Sumi said sternly.

"Stop it" she adds faintly.

Izumis eyes shaking vigorously.

"He's not gonna make it"

"LIAR!!!" she shouts in tears as she went on her knees crying.

"Don't tell lies Sumi" her body trembling.

"It's the truth"

"STOP IT!!!"

Akira coughed more blood from his mouth, his weak eyes turned to Sumi.

"I-It h-hurts m-make it s-stop please" Akira said weakly, the tears flowing down his cheeks.

"Shut up, Akira!" Izumi hissed.

"I'm getting you out" she insisted as she continued lifting.

"Izumi..." Akira said crying.

"I'm not gonna make it... I... I..." he coughs more blood.

"I can't feel the rest of my body, the pain... it's too much" he cried.

"Akira" Izumi said in tears as she sobs.

Sumi's lips pressed in a thin line.

"Please make it... please... please" the tears gushing out more.

Sumi slowly brings out her gun from her gun pouch around her waist, walking close.

Izumi covered her mouth as she broke in tears.

Sumi squats next to him.

Izumi eyes lands on her gun.

"Sumi what are you doing, are you crazy you ca-" she felt Akira's hand on hers.

She froze as she turned to him, a smile was present on his lips.

"I want the pain to stop... please".

The tears flowed more down her cheeks.

He looks up.

"Mom, it's hurts, it hurts so much" he cried like in a trance as he imagined his mom's face.

"Mom" he said in pain.

"Don't worry" Sumi said sternly with an unreadable expression.

"I will make the pain stop" she said faintly as she points the gun to his head.

"Mom... Mom. Mommy" he said with weak eyes as everything around him was lost to him.

Izumi's hand cleaned tightly on his, the tears dripping to the ground like water.

Sumi pulled the trigger.

***

*Loud Gunshot*

Yukio froze hearing the sound.

"That sound" he said with shaky eyes.

"The bio-genetics must be alive" he adds as he turned back to Touka, her nose and mouth covered in oxygen, her side face still covered in pox, now at her neck.

'I'm able to slow down the virus spread to her body by preventing her from inhaling more air... but it won't hold out for long' his eyes shakes. What was he gonna do? He can't let her died in vain.

"Think Yukio, think!" He scolded himself. 'Think' his teeth clenched. 'The virus it's spreading but very slow but according to Dr.Touka theory the virus is fast spreading' he froze at the thought as he turns to her once more.

'It's spreading slowly in her body? Does this means, her immune system is trying to fight off the virus? Yes... yes it could be, that's the only explanation why her body haven't deformed or turn like the rest of the Kaiju's, because her body is trying to fight the virus' his eyes shakes.

'I have to think of a way to make her cells stronger so that she can resist the contaminated air more and be able to eliminate it... its just a hunch, but I believe it might work, her body is still trying to fight the virus after all' he thought for certain.

He quickly rushed to her bag scattered on the ground, he found the SPS syringe pack.

"This could work, a slow processing serum is inside, I slow the virus movement then her body will be able to fight it more" he said rushing back to her.

He opened it, ready to inject her. 'This is the last way to help her, if it doesn't work then I'm afraid nothing else can' his eyes shakes as he raised her sleeves up. 'There's no use covering her up, the virus is already in her skin, if this works then she can be immune to the contaminated air just like General Anzai...' He took a deep breath, injecting the needle in her skin, the blue liquid flowed into her.

***

Izumi sobs as she stared at Akira's dog tag, his full name embodied on the silver plate.

"How... how did you bring yourself to pull the trigger" she asked with shaky.

Sumi was seated next to her but Akira's body separated them, his face covered with his jacket.

At her words Sumi stared at her hand, the one she used to pull the trigger, now she got two blood on her hands. An unwilling one and a willing one.

"Desperate situations calls for desperate measures" she quotes, as her shaky hands tightens in a fist.

A loud roar came again.

"The Alpha" Izumi said with shaky eyes.

Sumi's looks darkens.
