THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Weeks Ago

Warehouse (Kazuya Workspace)

"Ehn... an arm like a blood weapon?" Kazuya said facing Ten and Hiro.

"Ten is right Engr. Kazuya, modifying the arm as a blood weapon will make it twice as stronger than the last robot arm, we should consider that" Hiro said.

"A prosthetic arm is just like our weapons but it's efficient because of our blood, so making the arm compatible to the use of blood flow will make it the perfect arm for Commander Shino" Ten explained.

Kazuya rubbed her chin.

"How come i never thought of that" she said in deep thought, it was her plan to make a arm for Shino but she never thought of making it a blood weapon.

"We ask this of you Engr. Kazuya" Ten said bowing his head in request.

"Hey is this really necessary?" Hiro said with twitching eyebrow.

"Dummy! We're asking a lot of her, it could take weeks to create something like that... so just bow your head!" Ten hissed quietly at Hiro forcing his head down much to his disagreement.

Kazuya smiled at their antics.

"Fine then" she states rising to her feet, folding her arms underneath her large bosom.

"I will put in your suggestions, but I'm not doing it alone... after hours meet me here and we will work on it together" she states.

*

Shino was stunned after hearing everything from Kazuya, no wonder for the past month Ten and Shino always came back late to the Lodge, they were both working on this arm for him.

"Ah great... I went ahead and spill the beans, they told me not too, my bad" Kazuya said pouting but she was smiling on the inside that she told him even when they pleaded to her not to, because they didn't want Shino to be indebted to them.

*

"Promise Engr. Kazuya, promise you won't tell Commander Shino" Ten pleaded.

"I own him alot for saving my life" Hiro said as his head flashed to the day they fought the first Alpha.

"Doing this isn't enough to repay but it should count in for something... we don't want him to know so that he won't feel he own us anything when it's the other way around" Hiro said scratching the back of his head.

Ten nods in agreement.

"Yes yes I promise I won't tell" Kazuya said smirking.

*

'Ugh too bad I can't keep the promise especially when they did something as angelic as that for Shino' she thought with shinning eyes placing a palm on he cheeks.

"Sorry Commander Shino, I went ahead and spill the beans, it was just so heart wrenching that I couldn't keep it in" she said dramatically before turning to him.

She froze when she saw Shino in tears, streaming down his cheeks hotly.

"Thank you for telling me Engr Kazuya..." he said looking up to in tears but a smile was evident on his lips showing how happy he was right now, his chest warm with joy.

"... for letting me know I have such amazing friends in my life".

Kazuya smiled warmly at his words.

She nods. 'You do Shino... you do'

"Hmm I don't see him, maybe he's still gathering supplies" Ten said.

"It could be" Hiro said, his head turns towards the direction of others, sensing as they disperse into different direction in the forest heading up to the mountains.

Yuki halts her step turning to them.

"Are you guys not coming?" She asked.

"We should go, besides he's not the only one delaying, he will catch up" Ten suggested.

Hiro nods in agreement as they walked into the forest.

Hiro paused beside Yuki, Ten was already up ahead.

"Its a first... going our separate ways" He said.

"I don't like the idea" she states facing him.

"Wherever you go, I go" she adds in a serious tone.

Hiro smiled at her words.

"You can't really follow me now, can you" he said in amusement walking ahead.

He raised his hand above his head waving.

"See ya".

"Hiro" she said his name with shaky eyes, she frowned as her looks darken, the bangs of her hair covering her eyes. 'Idiot' she turned before walking away, turning to another direction.

Shino halts in front of the forest, he sighs seeing no one around.

"Seems like they went up ahead" he said with a smile against his lips.

"Guess i will have to thank them after the mission" he said elated rushing into the forest.

Raiden sighs stopping in front of the forest, his eyes caught Shino rushing in.

"I hope I'm with enough supplies... who knows how long we are gonna stay up there" he murmurs.

A sound came beside him he turns seeing Daiki but then his eyes twitched when he saw his bag pack, it was super big, the restraints budging from the amount of stuff inside.

"How the hell are you gonna carry that way up!" he hissed.

"Off we go" he said marching forward, his bag pulling backwards but he still stood his ground engaging, totally ignoring Raiden.

'Did he not hear me??' Raiden thought with white eyes.

Operation Base

"All bio-genetics are headed for the mountain" Yukio announced.

"Let's get this started then" Anzai said.

That moment Kazuya walks in.

"Everything is ready" she states.

Anzai nods walking towards something at the middle it was a small space like a bed, curved on an oval shape.

Anzai climbs in as he laid.

Kazuya walks up to him.

"Once the start up begins your consciousness will travel to the mountain, all you just have to do is think of what you wanna tell each of them" she explains.

Anzai nods in understanding.

"But the aftermath of this is that your body will go numb for a few days".

"I'm aware and I'm still willing to do it" he states.

Kazuya sighs, knowing his mind was already made up.

"If you say so then" she shrugs pressing a button at the control panel beside it, a glass covered the space in which he laid in, something like steams blowing in, Anzai's eyes fell weak, going unconscious.

Kazuya starts up the device.

That moment Sergeant Tori, Touka and Hachiro came in.

"It's started already" Tori said seeing Anzai inside the machine already.

"This isn't too harmful for him is it?" Touka asked worried for his sake.

Hachiro adjusted his glasses.

"The system allows his body to fall asleep leaving just his brain at work... for a man like General Anzai it will just be like a walk in the park" he states.

"This system will allow his consciousness to split into 26 different places.. its bound to cause a strain but given the kind of man he is, like Dr. Hachiro said he will be able to handle it" Kazuya said facing Touka with a smile, giving her reassurance.

"We just have to monitor his heart rate then we're good" she adds for certain.

Touka nods but still she she felt worried.

"Going online" Kazuya announced setting the controls.

Mount Sefuri

Like an interface glitch, Anzai appeared, forming from head to toe.

He cracks his head and knuckles looking around.

"It's almost like a dream and real at the same time" he said rubbing the back of his head.

He felt his hands but they only passed through him, but he was all real and present, you couldn't even tell it was his consciousness.

"If only I could smoke" he said with a sigh.

"Well then... let's get this started".

***

Operation Base

"He's actually there" Tori said stunned as he saw Anzai present with the help of the footage.

"He looks so real" he states turning again to face the machine he laid in.

"You know your technology well, Engr. Kazuya, I'm impressed" Kaede said smirking.

Kazuya just shrug.

"Just one or two placement, it's not that much" she said proud.

"General Anzai intends to train the bio-genetics personally, he even went through the means of splitting his consciousness" Touka said.

"General Anzai, even though spending one year with the bio-genetics, he knows them like the back of his hand, if anyone were to build up the bio-genetics willpower it would be him" Tori said with a smile against his lips.

Touka nods in agreement smiling.

"Yes you're right, he's the perfect General for the bio-genetics" she states as her eyes lingered to his unconscious body.

Mount Sefuri

The sun at the highest peak as Kimura Hiro walks through

"Almost there" Hiro said now going up to the highway that lead to the moment, hiking.

The sun was unbearable, the load he carried weighed him down but this wasn't compared to the training he passed through back at base, so he saw this as nothing.

*Birds Chirping*

Hiro froze at the sound.

"Birds" he said stunned, the sound has never found his ears ever since he has been on the surface.

He paused smiling, the decontamination area was bringing back nature, it was a warm feeling, soon birds will able to roam the skies once again, he couldn't wait.

He turns to the view of the city of Fukuoka, seeing it in form of structures and auras, but still it was a sight worth seeing because he knew humanity has seized Fukuoka from the Kaijus, it was a first step.

His fist clenched hard, that's why he must get stronger so that many more can be seized, and along the way he must definitely find the truth about the virus, his dad's dying wish.. He MUST.
