Chapter 161 - Mysteries
Team A
"Can you stand?" Yukio asked.
Touka nods weakly, her arm around his neck.
"How come I'm not infected by breathing the air" she said still puzzled by the fact, she no longer needed oxygen.
"A little trick I pulled off, your cells is now strong enough to fight the contaminated air, your body was already doing most of the work I just fortified it".
"You mean I'm immune to the virus just like General Anzai?" She said stunned.
"It appears so, if I'm able to redo what i did to your body then there might be a chance of the rest of us walking freely on the surface without masks" he states.
*Footsteps Approaching*
They turned at the sound, seeing Raiden, he took harsh breath still holding the jacket to his wound.
"Raiden!" Touka hissed rushing towards him despite the pain she was in.
"Hey Dr touka, take it easy!" Yukio hissed but she didn't listen.
"Quick Yukio, check for bandages I need to cover this up, he has lost too much blood" Touka hissed holding a weak Raiden steady as she sat him on the ground.
"Okay, Okay".
"Dr. Touka" Raiden said weakly.
"It's okay Raiden you're gonna be fine, the others, where are they?"
He shook his head.
"I don't know, but Asano... she's... she's dead"
Touka froze at his words, her eyes sadden as her lips pressed in a thin line.
The wind blowing harshly.

Hiro covered Izumi's body with her jacket, he held onto her and Akira's dog chain as he rise to his feet, his hair back to normal but his bio-genetics eyes still beamed.
Izumi's body went up in steams, he froze as he watches her body decaying just like the Kaiju's, his eyes sadden.
He brought out the Ring from his pocket, putting it back on, covering his eyes, the structures and lines easier to see.
He turned walking away to the others.
He stops right in front of them.
"I'm sorry" he began.
"It wasn't your fault the Alpha was after you Hiro, its still a mystery to all of us" Shino explained.
"But-"
"You heard him rich kid" Sumi said folding her arms.
"Besides you saved us" she adds.
Hiro's head hung down.
"Hiro" Yuki said knowing he still wasn't feeling okay, she noticed it right after he slayed the Kaiju.
"You guys are okay".
They turned to the voice as their gaze lands on Touka, Raiden and Yukio.
"Raiden" Shino said elated that he was okay, although he still held onto Yukio for support.
"We couldn't find the others, seems like we are the only ones who made it" Yukio said.
Touka walks to Yuki seeing her holding her wounded shoulder.
"Lemme cover it up" she offered.
Yuki nods as she lead her to seat at a place.
"How come Dr. Touka isn't using her protective gears?" Sumi asked puzzled.
"It's a long story" Yukio said sighing.
His gaze lands on the Alpha, almost decaying completely.
He reaches for his pocket bringing out a small cylinder tube, he fling it at Sumi, she caught it.
"If you don't mind, we need samples" Yukio said.
Sumi just rolled her eyes walking towards the Alpha.
"It's very unfortunate what happened, we lost all personnel's, and some of you guys, the attack was almost like it was planned out" Yukio said puzzled.
"Almost like they were after something" Touka said as she finished bandaging Yuki's hand.
"It was me... it came for me" Hiro said guilty.
"You? Why would a pack of mindless beast come for you?" Yukio asked puzzled.
"Yukio-san" Touka began rising to her feet.
He turns to her.
"You saved my life, there by I trust you" she said sternly.
"There's something you need to know about Hiro".
***
General Anzai and Sergeant Tori along with Hachiro ride their Hellhounds towards the explosion area still miles away.
"You should have stayed back, Hachiro, there's no need coming with us" Anzai said, his gaze still on the road.
"Not while Touka-san might be in danger" he said sternly.
Anzai's gaze drift to him briefly before facing the road back.
"Let's hope none of them are in danger" General Anzai said as his fist tighten on the throttle, increasing speed as well as the others.

Team A
"Sp0?" Yukio said stunned.
Touka nods.
Shino, Sumi and Raiden were shocked by what they just heard.
"An unknown stage unlocked by Hiro, Ten believes it happens based on Hiro's desire to kill the Alpha and also it might be an hidden stage we are yet to identify" she explained.
"Ten knows?" Hiro said stunned, how come he didn't confront him like he always did?
"This is extraordinary and also terrifying" Yukio said not believing his ears.
"Yes it is... I believe that's why the Alpha came for him but I still don't understand it too, why the Alpha would come after him, its confusing... its almost like there's more to these Kaiju's we don't know about" Touka said in deep thought.
"There's also something else" Shino said gaining their attention.
"At first the Alpha didn't attack me, it did something to my forehead with his tail" Shino said puzzled rubbing it, the mark was no longer there as well as Hiro's too.
"I saw a set of eyes but mixed color"
"A bio-genetics eyes and another color of crimson" Hiro cut in.
Shino froze as he faces Hiro.
"Yes I saw it too when I was unconscious" Hiro said sternly.
"A bio-genetics eyes and the other crimson?" Touka said in deep thought.
"What does it means?" Yukio said puzzled.
"Also the Kaiju's movement were confusing" Yuki said gaining their attention, they turned to where she was seated.
"An Alpha and its pack, but then came alone with only 10 Kaiju's, why?" She turns to them.
"Yet another mystery and also like you said Dr. Touka, the Kaiju's as well as the Alpha could phase like a bio-genetics by the name Daiki" Yukio said.
"And also the weird barrier, when Hiro killed the Alpha I saw something like that, maybe it was the Alpha doing" Sumi said for certain.
"Hmm... an Alpha along with ten pack of Kaijus that can phase and create barriers" Yukio said in deep thought.
"It could be the Sp3 stage it has to be, because they possess abilities the same as the Kaiju's" Touka said for certain.
"We can't know for certain until we test the samples we collected, I have a feeling there's more to this" Yukio said sternly.
