THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Medical Base 

"Sub-levels of the virus?" Anzai said stunned at the news.

Touka nods.

"Well that is something new" he said folding his arms against his chest, at least now he had a shirt on, Touka wasn't as distracted as she was before.

"All the bio-genetics except Daiki and Hiro are in Sp3: level 0... we think it's advisable to boost their levels, all Alpha's they have ever faced are all a higher grade than them" Yukio explains.

"Seems like Hiro's case isn't as confusing, we just misread the results... we believe the increase of levels has to do with willpower" Hachiro said.

"Willpower?"

Hachiro nods adjusting his glasses.

"It's possible for the bio-genetics to increase their levels through training" Kenta said for certain.

Anzai brought out the cigarettes from his lips blowing smoke air, before shoving it back in.

"I see".

Two Weeks Later 

The 26 bio-genetics all fully dressed in their uniform, consisting of a military camouflage uniform with a hoodie. But rather than the mix shades of green, it had the mix shades of red, dim in color, along with black combats boots, black finger less gloves, it was the same for both boys and girls. The bio-genetics badge at the right pocket side and widely drawn at the back, the badge black in color with tiny dot blues on it, at the center was a symbol, it was Japan symbol of a round red circle with two white wings attached to it, spread out gloriously.

"Why would General Anzai ask us to meet him here?" Himari asked looking around the forest now grown out with trees and grasses.

"It's the orders he gave me specifically, for all of us to meet out here" Shino said even puzzled, but he just had to follow General Anzai's orders.

Ten made a hmm sound rubbing his chin.

"It's training no doubt" Ten announced.

"Training? But we only got one month to rest why the sudden training" Kaneki said sighing.

"Idiot, a month is enough for us, we heal faster than humans remember" Fuijio said rolling his eyss.

Kaneki growled at him.

"Okay please don't start out again, it's annoying" Mirai said coming in front of them with a smiley face not ready to deal with their overbearing tantrum again, both of them seems to quarrel a lot this period.

"Guys check this out" Ren called from where he stood.

Ren took a note pin to a tree, before facing them to read it.

"I think its from General Anzai, his signature is here after all"

Shino walks up to him.

"What does it say then?" Shino asked.

"Go up the mountains but separately, no partners allowed  make sure your supplies are enough for the go" Ren said.

Mosu made a hmm sound in a rude matter.

"That sounds ridiculous" he said murmuring under his breath.

"Then it is training then" Ten said adjusting his glasses.

Shino turned to the others.

"Are you guys with enough supplies?" Shino asked.

They shake their heads negatively.

Shino sighs. 'Why did General Anzai have to mention this now, he didn't say anything except get dress and meet him here' Shino thought sighing out smoke.

"Oh there's a ps" Ren said gaining their attention.

"Make sure you get a tent".

"A tent?" Sakura said panicking, the idea of sleeping in the mountain made her shiver.

"How long are we gonna stay in the mountain?" Sumi said irritated by this.

Ren sighs.

"It didn't say" he said waving the note.

"Alright everyone, orders has been given" Shino said his tone laced with seriousness.

"We grab as much supplies as we can and then we head back here and go our separate ways" he said.

They nod in agreement.

'The mountains huh? And also separately? What training is this exactly' Hiro thought puzzled.

Operation Base

A footage showed of the bio-genetics in the forest deciding on what to do.

It played form a wide screen in front, about 10 personnel's doing some controls.

"I wonder what you have in mind for the bio-genetics, General Anzai" Kaede said in amusement facing him.

"We need all the help we can get to make this work, that's why I asked for your help" he said.

"Right... I heard about the virus having Sub-levels, and your plan to increase it"

"It's only necessary we do so" he said firmly.

"But I'm curious... how you intend to increase their levels... not all of them have the same willpower as Kimura Hiro, he is the one with the strongest level" she said in amusement.

At her words Anzai turns to face her.

"He is the son of Kimura Haruto after all" she smirks.

Anzai turns to face the screen, his eyes lingering on Hiro as he walks out of the scene.

***

Shino grabbed some supplies from a store, loading his bag as well as grabbing a tent pack.

"Commander Shino".

He turns at the sound of his name.

"Engr. Kazuya"

"I thought i might find you here" she said in amusement and then her eyes lands on his supplies.

"I see... training has began" she said.

"Yeah I guess... but I'm still curious as to why, we already had enough training back at the base, improving on all forms of techniques but..." he trailed off.

Kazuya caught his change of mood.

"At the sight of an Alpha we freeze" he murmurs but she heard him.

He face her with a smile against his lips but Kazuya knew it was a camouflage.

"But with more training certain weakness can be eliminated, we need to get stronger, I understand General Anzai perfectly well".

"You have a good heart Commander Shino" she began.

"You have sacrificed so much and yet you keep smiling and leading your comrades... General Anzai was right to choose you as the Commander" she states pulling up a slender portable bag Shino didn't know she had until now.

"What's that?" He asked taking it with his one good arm.

"Took a month to make it... I did say I would make some modifications to your robot arm but it turned out destroyed" she shrugged.

"You made a new one?" He said stunned.

She nods.

"Well what are you waiting for take a look at it" she said in amusement.

Shino quickly did as he was told he zips the bag open, he froze when he saw it.
