Chapter 158 - Drowning
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?

Hiro's Consciousness
Hiro's body leviates in a dark endless void inside deep water.
'I can't move my body' he thought as his body went deeper and deeper in the dark water, he was floating inside as he kept drowning in darkness.
'I can't feel, I can't breath, I can't hear anything' he thought scared, the worse feeling ever, to lose control over your own body but still be aware of it, he was terrified by this because he had no idea what to do or what was happening to his body, the last thing he remembered was the explosion and then nothing ever since, just the feeling of him drowning ever since and also the strong feeling eyes were watching him.
In response to that a set of eyes flashed open in the dark.
One of the eyes, the iris bright crystal crimson like a diamond mixed with light and dark shades with a hint of blue lines in it, forming a crack moving around, the pupil darkened and extended.
The other eyes, the iris colour bright crystal blue like a diamond mixed with light and dark shades with a hint of red lines in it, forming a crack moving around, the pupil darkened and extended.
It moved watching as Hiro drown deeper and deeper.
'I feel so cold' he thought fading away more.
'I feel so lost' a tear slide down his cheek, he felt empty, he felt incomplete.
"Hiro!" A faint sound called, it was distance, he couldn't make sense of it.
"Hiro!"
"Commander Shino!"
"Sumi!"
"Yuki!"
"Izumi!"
Those names they sounded familiar as well as the voice, but where, where was it coming from?
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing his dull brown eyes, it lands on a small light far away, just a pitch of it.
"Hiro..."
"Hiro!"
"Hiro!"
"Hiro!"
The lights growing brighter.
His friends they are calling him, they were in danger, he could feel it.
He slowly raised his hand to the light.
"Hiro!"
"Shino... Yuki" he said faintly.
His teeth clenched hard, they were calling him, his friends are in danger, they were gonna die.
"Hiro" this time he recognised the voice, it was Yuki's, it sounded weak, it sounded in pain almost like she was giving up.
"Yuki..." he said with shaky eyes, he panics as his heart slammed a loud beat.
***
Yuki's hand fell at the side giving up from trying to pull the tail out.
Shino panicked when he saw the action.
The Alpha summoned a large amount of energy directed at them, ready to fire.
Shino's shaky eyes on it, seeing that thing was coming for them, but he didnt move out of the way, he still shield Sumi.
"What are you doing? You're not a body shield" she hissed him in rage, knowing he was intending to block the energy with his body.
"My body just won't move" Shino said.
She froze at his words as he turned to her forcing a smile agaisnt his lips.
She gasp as her eyes shakes.
"I just can't help it".
A tear slide down her cheek. 'No one...' her eyss trembled vigorously. As her head flashed to her painful life before black storm day, bullied, abused, her silent tears, her silent pain.
'...as ever protected me' her eyes not leaving Shino's for a second.
The laser beam shoot coming at them in force, a wave of destruction, shooking the ground.
She watches as the light came at Shino but still he didn't budge.
"SHINO!!!" she shouts in horror as the beam came at him.
A loud explosion shook the area.

Yukio froze as he paused his action from tending to Touka he turned to a distance seeing a bright light, he heard numerous sound but this was by far the loudest.
What was going on?
Touka still unconscious on the ground, the pox on the side of her face to her neck drying off slowly but the mark still present.. Her fingers twitched.
