THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Mount Sefuri 

Yuki's bio-genetics eyes beamed dangerously, the only blue light you could see from her dark expression.

"Blood Technique" she said faintly her long light brown hair swirling from an unseen energy.

The blade of her twin Katana beamed a every bright red from the flow of her blood.

The Alpha summoned an amount of red energy from its mouth.

She stood calm, her looks unreadable and hard to predict her next move.

'Out of the bio-genetics' Anzai thought sternly as lips pressed in a thin line.

'You're a mystery'

The Alpha zapped the energy at Yuki it came at her in extreme speed but still she stood her ground as she quickly put on her sword in an x format, the energy jamming on it, making bit of the energy to disperse on neither sides of her, causing cuts and wave.

With one foot to the ground she zapped at the Alpha still blocking the beam directed at her, she got close to the Alpha.

"TORNADO SMASH!" she shouts as she spins, entirely dispersing the energy as she cut through the Alpha's head off, the force causing a shock to the ground beneath their feet and a large crack.

Anzai watch intensely as the steams around cleared, Yuki stood in the midst of the destroyed crater, the head at the corner, the body in front of her drops to the ground giving off electricity sparks.

Yuki stared into the skies, the wind swirling around her in waves, flapping her clothes and making her hair swirl behind.

'To protect Kimura Hiro' she thought as her grip tightens on her twin katana.

She then turned her gaze to General Anzai who had his gaze on her, they lock gazes their eyes lingering on each other for what seemed like a minute.

'Nagami Yuki' Anzai thought as the wind blew around them. 

'You have caught my undeniable attention'.

Hiro 

Hiro was seated on the ground, his back leaned against the black iron wall, he stared into the skies. 'That feeling' he thought, the energy he felt just a few seconds ago.

He held his forehead, the back of his head resting on the wall, tilting upwards.

'Yuki' he ran his fingers in his red hair, funny he could feel her energy, a funny feeling and something he couldn't explain and it kept bugging him.

Kaneki 

"DIED YOU DAMN ALPHA!!" Kaneki shouts as he shoot a bullet from his gun.

The bullet covered in immense energy as it slammed into the Alpha's neck, passing through the Alpha's neck to the other side, slamming on the wall behind.

The Alpha drops dead with hole in its neck.

Kaneki took harsh breath, his body covered in dirt, it was a rough one with the Alpha, he smirks staring at his blood weapon, which consists of a muzzle of a gun close to the handle of his sword, made of curved edge.

"Alright, finally getting a hand of it" he said in amusement placing the blood weapon against his shoulder.

'Great agility but doesn't really make use of his head, but in most cases, he will survive in battle' Anzai thought.

Operation Base

"Okura Kaneki, Sp3: level 2" Kaede said as the results came up.

"Their results are really levitating... this is really what it means if they have willpower and the desire to become stronger" Touka said with a smile against her lips.

"Surely you wouldn't have expected less, they have faced life and death, seeing their comrades die in the heat of the battle, they saw it all through themselves a year ago, a month ago... surely their desire to become stronger will be willful" Hachiro said folding his arms against his chest.

"But not all of them I'm afraid" Kaede said as she zoomed in an image of Homura.

"Some are still scared or more held in by the horrors of the past" she said gaining their attention.

Her gaze drift to Sand on the screen.

"It may be easy for some, but hard for others" she adds.

Sand 

Sand stood with a dark expression, not making a move neither did the Alpha.

Anzai appeared seated on top of the walls, one knee up his elbow resting on it.

"Why haven't you made a move Sand?" Anzai began.

"Are you still haunted by what happened?"

Sand fingers twitched at his words, his turned his head to face Anzai.

Anzai sweat drop behind his head seeing his overdue haircut, it still baffled him even till now.

"You're really in need of a haircut, can you even see in that?" He said, noticing how his hair left only his mouth to see, it was much than before, his hair length now shoulder length.

"We're all still haunted by what happened, ya know" Sand said firmly but Anzai heard him.

"Yes believe me I know, but they have made peace with it" Anzai said sternly.

Sand fist clenched hard.

"Have you?" He asked 

"Do you still blame yourself for Hanka's death?".

His teeth clenched in a tight hold but then it lessen.

"Permission sir..." he began in a shaky breath.

"To withhold from training, ya know"

At his words in a flash Anzai was in front of him, hands folded.

"Each and everyone of your comrades are currently facing the heat of battle, what it means to defeat an Alpha and yet you wanna back off?" Anzai hissed pissed.

Sand quickly stood upright saluting, even at his strong stance and composure Anzai could tell he was shaking.

"I'm asking sir, I'm not fit to be a soldier, ya know" he states.

The wind suddenly blew harshly, Anzai looks darken by his words. A minute of silence brood around them.

"Then go then" Anzai said in a simple tone turning his back to face him.

Sand froze at his reply, he wasn't expecting that.

That moment, one part of the wall created an out entrance.

"General Anzai?"

"You said you're not fit to be a soldier, right? You're not fit to a bio-genetics... Well then, off you go" Anzai said turning to face him.

Sand body trembled at his words.

"If you leave now Sand, I will have nothing... absolutely nothing to do with you any more, you leave right now, you leave all behind".

Operation Base

"General Anzai" Touka said worried, he can't really mean what he said, right, all Sand need was a break or something, he shouldn't have gone as far as telling him to leave everything behind.

"Why is general Anzai being like this, we need the bio-genetics, they have already reduced in number we can't afford to lose one" Hachiro said sternly.

Others were silent, they didn't know what to make of the situation at hand, but they knew one thing, General Anzai was giving up on Sand.

Mount Sefuri 

Sand silently dragged his necklace off his neck, the result made it to cut off, it was his dog tag with his full name and date of birth.

Sand forced a smile but it didn't reach his heart, Anzai could tell.

"I'm never gonna be able to protect anybody, ya know... I should have known that".

Anzai eyes narrowed, it made him wonder, wonder if Hanka was the only one he blamed his fault, did someone else died on his watch?

Sand stretch his hand forth, allowing the dog tag to slip from his hand.

In slow motion it fell to the ground.

"Thank you sir, for looking out for a failure as me for the past one year" he said shaky.

The wind blew harshly around them.

He then turned slowly walking away, Anzai gaze was to the ground where his dog tag was.

It slowly raised to stare at Sand's back as he watch him leave the arena.

"Engr Kazuya" Anzai said knowing she heard him.

Operation Base

"Y-Yes" she said shaky, her eyes sad from watching the scene.

"Everyone else present" he adds.

Their attention was on him through the screen.

"Acker Sand... is no longer a bio-genetics".

Their body stiffen at his words.

"He doesn't get to call the shots on this, the bio-genetics belongs to the government, so without Prime Minister Kiyoshi decree none of that can happen" Kaede hissed pissed, as she slammed her palm against the desk sitting up.

"Kaede-sama, I hope you haven't forgotten General Anzai was tasked in taking care of the bio-genetics by the Prime minister, its inevitable that whatever he says goes" Tori said facing her with an unreadable expression.

She paused at his words but her fist clenched hard.

"Isn't General Anzai's actions too hasty? Why would he let a bio-genetics go, its not right" Kenta said sternly.

"Would you rather send a soldier who is not fit for battle to the battlefield?" Anzai's voice came in.

Their attention drift to the screen, his gaze were at them like he could see them but they knew he was staring at the camera and he had comm fixed enabling him to hear their discussion.

Silence brood the around  base.

"I'm curious as to what you all think of that" he adds sternly.
