Chapter 155 - Hard Target
The Alpha roar came again, their attention drift to it.
It growled in pain as the bullet embodied in its forehead slowly slides out.
Shino checks his gun.
"Dammit I'm out of bullet" he cursed with clenched teeth.
"Yuki!" He hissed turning to her.
"You said the Alpha is after Hiro, we have to get him out of here and find the others".
Yuki froze at his words.
"The Alpha..." her eyes shakes.
"...Is after Hiro?" Her looks darken as her cheeks clenched hard.
She rise to her feet, clenching her hand tightly against her sword, not minding the excruciating pain she was in.
"It's not gonna lay a finger on him!" She hissed.
The Alpha roared as the bullet was finally out.
"My bullet didn't go deeper, but you might have a chance, you did that to its horn with your sword" he pointed out to one of the Alpha's broken horn.
"My sword" Yuki said sternly as she went on a fighting stance. 'Then I will give it a try again then' she thought for certain. The Alpha was after Hiro just like Shino said, she didn't know why but she had a strong feeling it wasn't for something good, the voice in her head always told her to protect Hiro for a reason she never came to understand but maybe this was it, maybe it was because the Alpha would one day come looking for him, and she was gonna prevent it. Her bio-genetics eyes beamed dangerously.
The Alpha roared standing up fully, in a zap of speed she came at the Alpha, in a flash she was in the Alpha's front, her twin sword ready to slash.
"Blood Technique!" she hissed as her sword blades beamed crimson from the flow of her blood.
"TORNADO SMASH!!!" she shouts as she spins like a tornado charging towards the Alpha in a wave.
The Alpha summons a large amount of energy in its mouth sending it towards her.
"Yuki look out!" Shino hissed.
Yuki's Gunbelt activates, the rope connected to the ground behind the Alpha, she uses the support to drift to the side as the energy beam zapped right pass her.
She drifts to the ground, sliding around with the help of her Gunbelt, she then zaps to the Alpha's back ready to plunge but the tail slammed against her, pushing her away, she lands on the ground hard.
"Yuki!" Shino hissed.
His fist clenched, he had to think of something, Yuki was fighting the Alpha all by her herself, she needed help, she needed support, but there was nothing he could do but watch, he hated it with every fiber of his bone. He was out of bullet, he was out of option. If only Ten was here, he would surely thought of a strategy, he would have surely think of a way out of it.
"Dammit!" he cursed, he felt helpless, what kind of Commander was he if he can't protect his comrades.
He turned to Hiro's body on the ground still unconscious. 'The alpha is here for Hiro, i have to do something' he thought with clenched teeth looking away.
Yuki forced her body up taking harsh breath.
The alpha growled deeply, its tail swirling behind.
"Its not giving up" Yuki said between breath, she was exhausted right after waking up, but she had to keep going, it the only way to save Hiro.
The Alpha roared as its whole body vibrates, they froze at the sudden changed of action, the Alpha suddenly went invisible like a mirage.
"It disappeared?" Shino said stunned.
"Where is it?" Yuki said looking around even her bio-genetics eyes couldn't find it, this was bad really bad.
Shino's heart slammed loudly in his chest, 'where is it?' He thought with trembling eyes, 'Where is the Alpha' he gulps.
His heart beat increased pace as he waited in anticipation of what of to come.
Unaware to him the Alpha's face was right at the side of him, the Alpha growled deeply as he breathes steams from its mouth.
Shino froze hearing the sound close to his ear. He panics but it was already too late, using the side of its head, slamming Shino on the chest, he spilled out blood from his mouth, the force pushing him away.
"Commander Shino!" Yuki hissed as Shino slammed on the ground hard, sliding hard against it.
The Alpha's fully emerge, where Hiro was.
"Commander Shino" Yuki said rushing to his side.
The Alpha growled gaining their action, it summons the energy beam once again, Yuki tried to move but she only just went back to her knees in pain.
Shino's eyes widen in horror as the Alpha was about to shoot the energy beam while roaring an horrifying sound.

Team C
'It's been 4 hours but nothing, no attack of any kind' Kaneki thought, his eyes on the road. 'We only just can't reach the others, the comms are breaking again, I just hope the others are safe and then all of us meet at the end'
Mirai's arm tightens around his waist.
"Are you okay?" She asked worried noticing how tensed he was.
"I'm fine, its just sought of odd that no Kaijus are attacking us" he said still puzzled by the fact.
"Maybe it's a good thing, with the Alpha dead I guess we are safe for now" she reasons.
"Yeah I guess" Kaneki said with puzzled face.
Mizuki rides to where they were.
"Mirai-chan" Yumi said with a smile against he lips.
Mirai smiled.
"Nothing on site detected, we should keep moving just like General Anzai said" Mizuki said amused.
"The explosion earlier didn't you guys hear it?" Ryu asked coming in view. Aimi behind him.
"I heard" Fuijio said from behind.
"But after that nothing else" Saho said at the other end, Homura behind him.
"Yes I hear it too, but after that no sound came again" Kaneki said puzzled.
He then turns to the two vehicles they escorted.
"Let's just concentrate on escorting the personnel's, we won't stop until we get to the river banks, as ordered".
They nodded in agreement as they increased speed in their movement.
