THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS

"Ten," Shino said noticing his action as his eyes trembled.

"It's a risk worth taking" Ten hissed slitting his arm, the blue blade cut through his protective suit down to his jacket and then his arm.

"TEN" Shino shouts in horror, watching his blood dripping to the ground.

Ten turned to him with tears in his eyes.

"I have an idea," Ten said.

"What do you mean Ten! Did you have any idea what you just did?"

"Can't you see we are done for!!!" Ten hissed with a dark expression.

Shino froze at his outburst.

"We can't die like this" Ten with tears in his eyes as he opened the top of his gun, his crimson blood dripping on the bullet, staining the blue.

"If my theory is right, the virus shouldn't just have an effect on living organisms but on inanimate objects too," Ten said cocking the gun, the top that was blue beaming red. He turned to Shino.

Kaneki stops firing, but others continued, he used that opportunity to rush to an injured Botan. 'There's not much time, I have hurry'. He thought.

At that moment, where the other creature was buried, the blocks vibrated, like it was coming up.

"Our comrades are in danger, we lost our friends today," Ten said as his eyes shake, remembering the screams he heard, he didn't count but he guessed just how many.

"I have to do something, even though I die trying. It's worth everything" Ten said as the tears fell.

"Ten," Shino said with shaky eyes.

"I WILL PROTECT MY FRIENDS!!!" Ten shouts as he rushed out.

"TEN!!!" Shino shouts.

The creature they shot at snaps.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Ten shouts firing a bullet.

Like in slow motion, with extreme force pushing Ten away as the bullet zapped out of the gun hitting the shoulder of the creature, piercing the skin as blood splashed, the force pushing the creature on the wall in force. Ten flew backward landing on the ground hard, the gun falling away from his hand.

Everyone froze when they saw this.

"It wounded it!" Ryoji said with a start.

Suddenly the monster buried burst out, at the same time the other monster shot came back up, the pierced skin regenerating slowly. The two rushing towards Kaneki who held unto a wounded Botan.

"KANEKI SENPAI!!!" Mirai screamed in horror.

'Is this it?'. Kaneki thought with shaky eyes. 'I'm gonna die like this?' the tears fell as the creatures came close. 'I never got the chance to his eyes trembling vigorously. 'To Tell Mirai how I...'

Others shout his name.

Shino's eyes widened as he saw the two creatures coming for Kaneki and Botan.

A picture of his little sister Michi ranged in his head, her smiling at him along with his dad, as he placed a hand on his head.

'Stay strong Shino' his father's words rang in his head.

'So that you can protect the ones you love'

His brain sparks tremendously, that was the trigger, he turns to Ten's gun on the ground, one bullet remaining.

Shino's bio-genetics eyes beamed, it was like everything around him slowed down, his teeth clenched.

'I will protect everyone, I have to'

He rushed towards the gun in inhuman speed, the ground cracking from his combat boot impact to the ground.

'I will become stronger'

He grabs the gun.

'So that I can protect my friends'

He set his arm cocking the gun.

"I WILL PROTECT THEM!" he shouts pulling the trigger, the last remaining bullet zapped out in force coming at the creature, it hit the head of one, the force pushing it to the other as they both connected to a sharp wood sticking out, their heads colliding with it, blood splashing everywhere.

The force from the gun pushed Shino as he flew across the other side hitting the blocks hard, landing on the ground.

Daiki rose to his feet with widen eyes, staring at the dead creatures.

"They are dead," he said in a shaky voice.

Others were stunned too and impressed at what Shino did.

Shino struggled to get up holding onto something as he took harsh breaths, the gun in his hand. Blood trailing from his head.

Ten growled in pain rising to his feet, in panic Shino rushed to his side.

"Ten are you okay? Your suit" he began hastily.

"I feel okay," Ten said puzzled, he should be dead by now.

"What?"

Ten quickly pressed the button behind his neck as the helmet and protective suits retreat, he took a deep breath of the air.

"I feel okay!" he said this time in joy.

Yuki's Team

Yuki turned to stare at a distance, Asano halts her steps also, noticing her sudden stop.

"Yuki is everything okay?" she asked puzzled.

"Thought I heard gunshots," she said leveling her gaze.

"Gunshots?"Asano said perplexed.

"I heard it too," Sumi said stopping in front of them.

"I wonder what the other team is up to" she adds in a bored tone.

She turned to face them.

"Or maybe they encounter something for them to result to shooting" she adds in amusement.

"Something Like what? There's nothing out here for miles, it's so quiet" Asano said frowning.

Sumi just made a hmm sound shrugging as she continued her walk.

"Could she get any weirder?" Asano said with a bird-like shaped mouth.

Yuki blinks.

"I found a Radio Station" Ren hissed from a distance.

"Finally let's get this over with," Sumi said rushing to where Ren was.

Others rushed too as they passed by, Yuki was about moving but heard a sound from a building, she halted turning, her eyes scanning the area, It lingered everywhere but it was dead silent like it was.

"Yuki?" Asano called.

"Is something wrong?" she asked worried.

Yuki faced her continuing her walk.

"Nothing," she said firmly passing Asano, her expression darkens. 'This feeling' Yuki thought with a dark look.. 'It's like we're surrounded by something' her eyes scanning around once more but still, nothing.
