THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

'It's now or never' Shino thought with determined eyes, rising to his feet, standing in front of them.

"Hold on to me" Shino said.

They placed a hand on his shoulders.

Sumi grabs his jacket at the side.

"Hey... this better work or we are all goners" she said.

"It has to" Shino said with tighten fist. Her eyes lands on it.

"It's the only chance we got" he adds with stern eyes.

Sumi shaky eyes on him, her grips tightens on his jacket.

"I believe... you can do it" she said faintly so that only him can hear.

He froze at her words, did Miyuki Sumi just said those words?

"Here it comes" Yuki hissed.

Shino turns to it in alert, his teeth clenched.

The Alpha's laser beam came at full force, the effect broke the ground beneath, as it came at them fiercely.

"We're gonna die!" Izumi hissed in panic seeing what was coming for them.

The energy came fast, Shino's heart slammed a loud beat. 'I can do this!' He stretched forth his left hand, his eyes widen as the enegry slammed at them.

***

Shino's eyes was shut close along with the others, in a shaky breath he slowly opened them, he gasp seeing what was right in front of him, the blue energy, right at his hand paused, he also saw blood from his hand, signifying the energy almost braced him, he gulps hard.

"Commander Shino you did it!" Izumi said elated.

"It was a close call" Sumi said gulping seeing that the energy also destroyed them.

"Everything is in a pause" Yuki said looking around.

Shino pulled his hand down, going on one knee taking harsh breaths.

'That really took a toll on my body almost like my blood is being sucked out of my body' he thought between breaths.

"Quick! We must hurry, few seconds to go" Shino said haste.

"Izumi, you grab Hiro, Yuki and I will take down the Alpha!" Sumi hissed.

Izumi nods rushing to where Hiro was.

Yuki and Sumi looks at each other nodding as they dashed after the Alpha.

They ran simultaneously as their Gunbelt shut on the Alpha skin enabling them to go up in the air and then coming down.

Yuki slash the Alpha against the arm, she lands on the ground drawing back. Her bio-genetics eyes lands on the mark. 'It should come off when time moves again' she thought for certain.

Sumi uses wires to wrap around the Alpha's neck pulling.

"Yuki now!" Sumi hissed.

Yuki nods as she jumps at the Alpha waving her sword on the neck but it only just bounced back, the force pushed her backwards as she slides on the ground.

"It didn't cut!" Yuki hissed.

"That can't be right, but the sword did that to the horn and arm didn't it?" Sumi said puzzled.

'It did' she thought but then her eyes widen in realization.

"The neck is harder than the rest of the body!"

Shino froze at her words.

"The neck is harder than the rest of the skin?" Shino said in shock.

The energy in front of him vibrates. He froze as he quickly moved away from it.

"It's moving!" He hissed.

They froze.

The Alpha instantly breaks free from the time loop as well as everything around.

The energy dispersed, the Alpha roared in pain as its arm was off, blood splashing.

In rage its head snaps to Sumi who still had her wires around its neck, with a shook Sumi was sent flying in the air.

"SUMI!" Shino shouts in horror.

The Alpha sent a laser beam at her, Yuki dashes after the Alpha rotating as she kicks the Alpha, resulting the laser to move towards another direction.

Shino rushed after Sumi before she hit the ground using its body to catch her, they both land on the ground hard, Sumi spilled blood from her mouth at the impact.

The Alpha's snaps its head to Yuki, coming at her. She quickly slide down the other way missing it deadly claws.

She rotates her sword ready for battle but the Alpha tail came at her in speed, the tip went sharp burying deep in her shoulder.

She shouts in pain as the force slammed her deep on the ground, the tip of the tail still buried deeply in her shoulder, her katana's going off her hands.

"YUKI!!!" Izumi shouts.

Still pining Yuki down, the Alpha head snaps to Izumi, she froze as she held on to an unconscious Hiro tightly.

It roared in rage as the laser beamed surged out of its mouth pushing her off Hiro and zapping right pass her chest.

Blood splashes everywhere as Izumi lands on the ground in the pool of her own blood.

"IZUMI!".

Yuki's eyes widen in horror, she was dead. She shouts when the tail raised her off her feet, the tail still buried deep in her shoulder, her blood dripping to the ground.

The Alpha growled deeply, Yuki tried to pull the tail out but it kept going deeply, also like her bone was cracking.

"Let her go!" Shino hissed taking harsh breaths, he stood right in front of Sumi, shielding her.

"Shino" Sumi said weakly against the ground.

The Alpha growled turning its attention to Shino.

Shino teeth clenched, his body shook in unbearable pain, and he didn't have it in him to do a time pause again, the last two he did was too much on his body and drained him of blood.

'Izumi is dead' he thought with shaky eyes as he sweat profusely.

"Shino" Sumi said behind him as she forced her body to sit up but she felt so weak and pain shocked through her body.

"Sumi..." Shino began with a dark expression, his bangs covering his eyes.

"Run!"

She froze at his words as her eyes went wide.

"Idiot..." she said shaky.

"You can't expect me run and leave you guys here!" Sumi hissed.

"We're out of options" Shino said as his eyes lands on Hiro, red veins were embodied on his body and his skin was extremely paled, he knew something was off, because he haven't budge or move a single muscle, which means the Alpha must have done something and and kept him unconscious.

His gaze moved to The Alpha, it's wounded arm that gave out blood. Despite being hurt the Alpha was still geared up and now it was holding Yuki hostage.

His teeth clenched... they were seriously out of options, he can't bear to see anymore of them die, but what was he gonna do, his time pause, his wounds didn't heal fast because of too much loss of blood, what was he gonna do, everything they had against the Alpha didn't do a damn thing.

Is this the end?
