Chapter 240 - A Peculiar Encounter: The Queen Kaiju
Chapter 240 – A Peculiar Encounter: The Queen Kaiju
"Y-You" he drawled in pain.
The realization struck him.
"Q-Queen Kaiju" he growled as the pain in his chest became unbearable.
She chuckled sinisterly as instantly like a mirage the Alpha's body transforms like a blink of an eye.
Before Hiro now wasn't a beast, but a feminine figure, hair dark like midnight, longer than any he has ever seen, moving behind her in waves like it was enchanted, her body gold in color but engraved in several markings you couldn't define, she was completely naked, but the markings around her body served like coverage to her skin, around her were thick blue forms swirling around like a wave, connected to her back, they looked like thick clothes in long square forms but Hiro should know better that they were part of her, her body parts.
Feeling the divine presence before him, Hiro's eyes shook, something beautiful but deadly, could this before him… be the cause of a virus? He was beginning to doubt that because this before him seemed out of the world, something far beyond the glimpse of a virus, but made from it because he could sense it, but was it possible for a virus to create such a being?
Just by the mere glimpse, Hiro knew this was unlike anything the has ever faced, this was the Queen Kaiju the one who controlled the Alphas like they were puppets, and this wasn't a mindless beast… this seemed like the center of all intelligence, this seemed like a human being but a monster.
"Hiro… Hiro" Even her distorted inhuman voice seems angelic but twisted and cold.
"At long last, we finally meet" she draws her face close to Hiro.
Hiro struggled but he was held in place and her hand buried deep within his chest kept him from moving or more blood would spill, he was already feeling light-headed from the loss of blood.
She cracks her neck but the movement was haunting to watch.
"Your very existence makes my skin crawl," she said in distent.
Hiro didn't understand what she meant, but they were she said it was like she was threatened by it.
"This connection…" she said almost in a whisper.
She growled deeply, as her mixed color eyes beamed more, her eyes traveled around the base.
"Years I have searched for this place longed to bury this place you call solitude"
She couldn't locate this place? Hiro began to wonder, her aim was to find this base, hosting the last of humanity but she couldn't find it.
"Human has always proven to succumb to their desires" she smirks staring deep into Hiro's eyes.
His blind eyes trembled as he saw the powerful aura it gave off, it chilled his bones and brought fear to his body.
"Easy to twist and use… I don't need to send my army when I can just destroy it within"
She was the one behind this outbreak, it all made sense now, she was manipulating someone within but who? General Anzai said there was a traitor within who tampered with the virus resulting in the outbreak. This was all Queen Kaiju doing, this was her plan, this was the main reason they were back to base without any attack, she was planning for this to happen, to make them destroy themselves within.
"Why are you doing this" Hiro said in a struggling tone as his teeth clenched, both from pain and anger.
"Two species can't live together in one earth, the predators… always… take… out… their prey"
He didn't understand what she meant but Hiro knew one thing, her brain was messed up just like the Alpha, General Anzai had a theory that maybe the virus messed up with their head, maybe it did and made them think they were the superior species, the virus has created such division to a point another species of predator was created from it, was the Sp-virus that powerful?
"You" she growled.
"You stand in my way", her hand buried in his chest began moving.
Hiro wailed in excruciating pain as blood kept spilling, he coughed blood also, the torture becoming unbearable.
"Your end will only make me more powerful" she growled as her hand kept turning.
Hiro shouts… as his widened eyes of horror shook vigorously, his brain shut off any thoughts the only thing pain he could feel and think was pain.
"LET HIM GO!" a loud voice came in.
Her head snapped in the direction of the voice.
"Y-Yuki," Hiro said weakly recognizing her voice, his hands fell to his side, darkness finding him.
The Queen Kaiju roared at Yuki but then the sound seized when she felt a presence.
"What are you!" she growled.
Yuki held a dark expression, she slowly raised her head revealing her beaming violet eyes, within them were several golden markings.
Her body gave a pulse sound vibe as her body glowed in a golden aura.
Suddenly like a mirage behind Yuki, a figure formed like an illusion, of a girl with long brown hair swirling behind her, her eyes covered by a device, it was a shaky image but her body glowed the brightest, her palm slammed together as a burst of energy zapped towards the Queen Kaiju.
She roared as the wave of energy zapped through her pushing her off Hiro like a bullet as she zapped and her back slammed against the wall.
"WHY YOU???" she roared as the image of her fades and her presence vanished revealing the Alpha on its knees.
The image behind Yuki dispersed resulting in Yuki spilling blood from her mouth as she drops to the ground unconscious.
The Alpa regained consciousness, as it then roared chaotically and wildly, the base trembling from the mere sound.
Shino quickly rushed into the hall seeing the scene, Yuki and Hiro on the ground unconscious.
His gaze then lands on the Alpha roaring, he quickly brought out three arrows, slanting the position of his arrow to be horizontal, it glowed in red aura from the flow of his blood within the arrow.
'Give it all you got!' he thought as his bio-genetics eyes beamed dangerously, he could feel it, for some odd reason the Alpha was weakened, he can get a clean shot and end this, and stop this outbreak once and for all!!! He couldn't watch his comrades suffer anymore or watch the civilians be in danger.
The bracket he wore showed his level jumped from Sp3: Level 2 to level 3.
He then shot the arrow as it zapped towards the Alpha in speed.
The Alpha saw this coming summoning the red energy from his mouth, it jammed with the arrow making everywhere shock by the immense impact, but the three arrows still zapped right past the energy, they collided together intensifying the movement of the arrow.
The Alpha's eyes widened knowing it was over, the arrow came in speed and zapped right past its neck and slammed on the wall behind, covered in the Alphas blood.
The Alpha's eyes shook vigorously but then it stops.
"I did it," Shino said stunned that he did, he killed the Alpha.
"T-Thank Y-You"
He froze when he heard the familiar voice, he gasped as his eyes landed on the Alpha, that moment the head of the Alpha disconnected from the body dropping to the ground.
Shino's eyes shook vigorously, that voice he recognized it, his body weakened as he drops to his knees, a tear slid down his cheek as his lips quivered, his fist tighten on his bow.
"Rest in peace…" he shut his eyes close as the tears fell more.
"Dr. Kashi".

Throughout the whole location of the base, the Kaijus running about and getting defeated by the rest of the bio-genetics suddenly drops dead on the floor, going up in steams.
Mosu looks around at the now dead Kaijus they were fighting a minute ago.
"The Alpha's dead," he said in realization.
"They did it they killed the Alpha," Mizuki said.
"The base is safe now"
Ren sighed in relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead, for a minute there they thought they weren't gonna make it.
***
"It's over," Usagi said in a breath of relief as her butt found the floor.
Sakura's back leaned against the wall taking harsh breaths.
Mary turned to Daiki who still had his gun pointing at a dead Kaiju, his whole body trembling.
"Relax Daiki, it's over," she said.
"Thank goodness," Himari said with a sigh.
"This means General Anzai got the Alpha right?" Saho said.
They nod.
***
"We're safe," Kaname said with a breath of relief.
Kaneki nods in agreement.
They heard footsteps approaching, they turned as Mirai, Yumi, Raiden, Emiko, and Fuijo came in view.
"Mirai!" Kaneki said elated as he rushed to her, his body then shock in pain.
"Easy," she said in a panic holding him, she saw his wounded shoulder.
"You're hurt!" she gasped.
"I'm fine it's just a scratch I'm just glad you're okay," he said with a smile against his lips.
She smiled back at him.

Level 25
Sumi ran as fast as she could into level 25 but then she saw the destruction that was laid waste, her eyes trembled at the sight of it, her eyes then land on Shino on his knees, and then on Hiro and Yuki against the ground.
"Shino!"
