THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

Ryu

Ryu smirk broaden, his blood weapon at hand, which was a six feet chain, crimson in color due to his blood flowing through it.

He waved it above his head not breaking glance with the Alpha before him.

The Alpha roared before lashing at him, Ryu somersaults on air dodging the Alpha, he lands perfectly behind the Alpha, now behind the Alpha he rotates the chain, plunging it forward, it wraps around the Alpha's neck, he pulled on it, along with the head coming off, steams blowing from the chain, his blood drying off.

'Increasing the temperature of his blood, to enable a cut... smart' Anzai thought smirking.

'A technique every effective and deadly'

"That should teach you," Ryu said smirking.

Operation Base 

"Sp3: level 2" Kaede announced.

Hachiro adjusts his glasses.

"My poor creations," Kazuya said pouting for the 10th time.

Tori just sighed at her tantrums.

"Are they really destroyed beyond repair?" Kaede asked turning her chair to face them.

Kazuya sighed.

"Well there are meant to be three levels the bio-genetics would have to face. Easy, difficultly, and hard. But with this much damage I don't think they would be able to move to the next" she said sighing once again.

"They currently fought an easy Alpha? That doesn't look like it" Kashi said faintly.

"We should let General Anazi know, as soon as they are all done," Kaede said turning her chair to face the display screens.

Mount Sefuri 

Ren rotates the Ring sword around his hand, they consist of two powered by his blood.

'I gotta make a cut to the neck' he thought sternly.

The Alpha growled deeply.

"This time will cut through!" He retorted, sending the Ring sword towards the Alpha, it spins like red spiral energy coming in speed.

It severed the Alpha's hands, rotating back to him, he caught the ring sword.

"Dammit! I almost got it"

The Alpha roared dropping flat on the ground.

Anzai flashed beside him.

"Well, that took it out".

"But I didn't sever the head," Ren said sighing.

"True... if it were a real Alpha you still got it down but didn't kill it" he said with a shrug.

Ren gulps hard.

"With time your balance will be good, as well as your aim, we both know disabling the Alpha won't do us much good, the aim to kill is the only way we can survive it".

"Yes sir," Ren said with shaky eyes.

Usagi 

The Alpha drops headless in front of her, she took a harsh breath.

"I did it, I did it" she chanted weakly, she was so tired after hours of trying to win against the Alpha and she finally did.

Operation Base

"Ren and Usagi... both Sp3: level 2 along with Saho, Fuijo, and Raiden. Sakura, Emiko, and Himari, Sp3: level 1" she explained her fingers going fast against the transparent keyboard.

"They all showed promising results," Hachiro said.

"So far we have 4 outstanding levels, Hiro, Yuki Haya, and Daiki," Touka said.

"The lowest are, Yumi, Homura, Sakura, Emiko and Himari" Kenta said sternly.

"Still they were still able to overcome their fears, fighting the Alpha is not an easy job, at least now we know if they come across one, they will have a fighting chance," Touka said as her fist tighten against her lap.

"It's almost sundown," Kashi said staring at the screens, his eyes narrowing.

"The bio-genetics has completed the first stage of their training," Kaede said.

Mount Sefuri 

You could hear the birds Chirping in every direction.

Raiden sighs as he shuffled his sniper gun behind his back. Before he was a headless Alpha.

He stared at the skies, it getting dark, he should probably head back to his camp.

"General Anzai," he said turning towards the direction of where he was seated but he was nowhere to be seen.

"General Anzai?"

***

Hiro halts his step, he was about to walk out of the formed arena but finally stopped.

'I don't feel General Anzai's presence anymore' he thought turning his head to the side.

***

Operation Base

Anzai gasps awake, his eyes flashing open.

"General Anzai shouldn't be awake so soon," Kazuya said rushing to the tube he laid in, Touka and Tori followed behind him.

"General Anzai," Touka said worriedly.

"Are you alright sir?" Tori asked worriedly.

Anzai held his head.

"Damn I have a splitting headache" he growled.

"One of the side effects of dividing your mind into 26 different places. Obviously, your body was growing tired as well as your mind so that's why you're awake" Kazuya explained.

"I see," he said groaning, rubbing his head.

He tried to move but his legs wouldn't budge.

"Another one of your side effects?".

Kazuya chuckled nervously.

"Your legs might not function very well as of now".

"Great... I need a smoke".

Mount Sefuri 

The skies were now pitch black, illuminated by stars. Hiro was seated in front of an automatic burning flame having some dinner. He slurp on the ramen from the cup, even though it tasted slightly awful, he should probably get used to it.

He heard a branch snap.

"Who's there?" He retorted.

His senses traveled and got a familiar presence.

Without turning he said.

"Sand is that you?" 

"How did you know it was me ya know?" Sand said coming out of the dark in view.

"I can tell by your aura, I know how to differentiate them now," Hiro said with a smile against his lips.

He finally raised his gaze but then he froze when he sensed what was before him, in Hiro's vision he saw Sand as a male-shaped red and blue aura, and more was that his bags packed? He could tell by the structure.

"Hey... are you planning on leaving?"

Sand stiffen by his words, he didn't know Hiro could tell he had his bag packed, he figured he shouldn't underestimate him.

"Um, yea".

Hiro frowned.

"Did something happen?"

Sand was about to say something but then his stomach growled, he was planning when he got off the mountain he would eat but it suddenly went dark and he couldn't venture anyone, thanks to his delay by Mary he would have to wait still its daybreak.

"Here," Hiro said handing him a cup of ramen.

Sand smiled curly.

"Thanks, bruh" he took it, seating on a branch in front of Hiro, the automatic flame at the side.

Sand quickly rushed his food like a caveman.

Hearing his eating actions Hiro could tell he hadn't eaten anything.

"You didn't carry food supplies did you?" Hiro asked certain he didn't.

"Well I wasn't prepared like you guys," he said between eating.

"I see... Well then eat as much as you can, I packed plenty don't know how long we will be staying up here, we only just completed the first stage of training".

Sand paused his eating action at his words.

"Hope the Alpha wasn't that difficult to take down? According to General Anzai that was the easy level but it sure as hell wasn't" Hiro rants reminiscing his fight with the Alpha, it was almost like the real deal.

"I didn't fight mine, ya know" 

At his words, Hiro paused his talk, he was puzzled.

"What are you saying?".

"I'm saying I no longer wanna fight ya know"

"But the Kaiju's are a threat to the world, after what they did to our comrades, we know the surface can't be inhabited with them roaming around" Hiro reasoned.

"I know bruh, but it ain't my fight," he said.

Hiro frown at his words.

"What's good of me being in the fight when I can't even protect anyone, ya know"

Hiro stiffen at his words, he heard what happened, he knew about Hanka, he was still blaming himself for her death.

Hiro placed the cup ramen on the ground.

"You know when I first heard your name, it sounded familiar" he began.

Sand raised his head at his words.

"So I have been thinking, I kinda bumped into you years ago, you probably don't remember me but I do, you were three classes ahead of me, I heard what happened to your little brother from my friend Shinzo, about him dying of negligence"

It was like a spark to a flame.

In a blink of an eye, Sand had his hands on Hiro's collar, his body trembling, his teeth clenched.

"Daisuke..." he said in a shaky voice. Whenever someone said his brother's cause of death was negligence, it always made his skin crawl, it was murder, and yet they blamed him for it.

"Daisuke was killed in a hit and run! Don't cover the murder with that, ya know!" He retorted pissed.

"They never investigated the incident did they," Hiro said as his features saddened.

Sand froze at his words, the grip on Hiro's collar loosening a bit.

"They blamed you to the point they couldn't see the truth non investigate the matter, they saw you as the cause when it was a murder" 

Sand let go of Hiro's collar, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"You lived with that blame all your whole life".
