Chapter 53 - Kimura Hiro
Tokyo Underground Base
A Day Earlier
Level 11: Special Facility
Kashi sighs, his eyes fixed on Hiro's covered body on the bed.
"Poor Hiro," he said with sad eyes, he felt for the poor kid, not only did the black storm take his parents but his eyes too and now death, it was a cruel fate for him.
"Rest in peace Hiro," Kashi said faintly with sad eyes, as he prepared to move Hiro's body, he turned to the stretcher bed, he would place his body on, he shift it close before turning to face the body.
*Pick Up Beeping Sound*
He froze on hearing that, beams of sweat hanging on features, his shaky eyes land on the beeping machine, he gasps.
Hiro's heart rate and bp were picking up fast.
"Don't tell me... " he said stunned, how was this possible, this can't be real.
Instantly Hiro sat up abruptly.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" he shouts in horror stumbling backward, his butt hitting the floor hard.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" he shouts on top of his lungs staring at what was before him.
Hiro was now seated on the bed, the white sheets still covered him, before slipping downwards.
Hachiro rushed in with a start when he heard Kashi shout.
"What is it Kashi, keep your voice down!" he hissed, but then froze, on seeing the scene, his eyes widen in total shock at what was before him.
***
Level 20: Prime Minister level
"What are you saying?!" Prime minister Kiyoshi said with a start going up his feet, his chair stumbling backward.
"Hiro," Touka said in a high pitch voice.
"Hiro is alive!!!"
***
Level 11: Special Facility
"How is he?" Kiyoshi demands as he watches Touka check his vitals.
"He's okay," Touka said amazed.
"Unbelievable" Kiyoshi said with widening eyes, it was a hunch and it turns out he was right, after all, a small smile found his lips.
"Amazing" Hachiro said as his glasses shinned blank white.
"Hiro... Tell me how are you feeling?" Kiyoshi asked with anticipation.
Hiro's body tensed a bit, he was silent.
"The rest," he said faintly.
"What is it Hiro talk to me" Kiyoshi demands.
Hiro's fist clenched tightly on the sheets.
"The others," he said raising his head.
"The others are in danger!" he hissed.
They froze at his sudden outburst.
"Hiro, what are you talking about?" Touka asked worriedly.
"The rest are on a mission to the outside world, they were task with re-installing communication with the surface," Hachiro said adjusting his glasses.
Hiro froze as his heart slammed a loud beat. 'Then this feeling...' He thought. 'I was right then' his teeth clenched. 'The others are in danger!'
He got off bed instantly, Touka gasps at his action.
He walks step by step until he was in front of Kiyoshi like he knew where he was.
"Hiro," Kiyoshi said with shaky eyes.
'I have to find them' he thought raising his head, in his vision through his faded eyes, Prime minister Kiyoshi who stood before him was in a form of blue aura like a burning flame in the shape of a human form, the others showed the same aura too, while the entire room was in a line structure format, everything was evident to him despite his blind eyes, even the things a normal human couldn't detect.
"Kiyoshi sama" he began boldly.
"Permission to leave the base!"
***
Level 1: Bunker
"Kiyoshi-sama is this wise?" Touka asked sternly.
They both watch Hiro stood at the other bunker leading to the top, the iron doors sliding shut, blowing steams.
"He's a liability, what if we're sending him to his death?"
"When he talked to me... Didn't you see?" Kiyoshi said with a smile against his lips, he saw a younger version of Haruto, with a burning look of determination in his eyes, he always had that can never be quenched.
"That look shows he is driven by a desire..." he said placing his hands behind, standing upright.
"To save the people he barely knows... A true heart of a soldier"
Touka's eyes shake at his words.
"I'm sending him out there so he will survive and overcome his weakness, not die".
***
Hiro heard the hatch open, his protective gears were already on, he raised his head, his version of the now seen skies were a bright red, with little detectable blue substance.
'Dad' he thought with a tightening fist as his memory came in.
After the explosion, him lying unconscious on the ground as his nose, eyes and ears bleed. His mom beside him dead and deforming, his dad a distance away, part of his body destroyed by a boulder, his hand reaching out and then saying something inaudible.
His fist clenched tightly.
"Live Hiro and find the truth... I believe you will and I will always love you, stay strong Hiro"
Those were his words and somehow when he was presumed dead for hours it was like he traveled back to that scenes and saw everything from a different point of view and heard his dad's last words before the boulder crushed him.
'I will Dad' he thought as his teeth clenched tightly, his one last request, his one wish to stay alive... And find the truth.
The below-ground stops as he now stood amid the outside world, the harsh wind blowing around him flapping his clothes.
The last request he shall honor until his last breath, a promise.

Hours Later, The Same Day
*Sounds Of Approaching Shoes*
Unknown to Homura as he kept crying loudly like a child, the boots stops right in front of him.
"Hey!" the voice said.
Homura sobs finally taking notice of the person in front of him, his shaky eyes on boots, fear gripping his body.
"You are a Bio-genetics aren't you?" the voice asked.
On hearing that name, he slowly raised his head, his heart slamming loudly in his chest and then he saw who was in front of him, his eyes and mouth widened in total shock.
"Im...impossible!" Homura said in shock seeing Kimura Hiro standing before him.
'This must be a bio-genetics Hiro thought certain, the aura was different it wasn't blue but a mixture of red and blue like a wild aura.
"Hiro?"
Hiro's body tensed at the sound of his name, he squats in front of him.
"Name?!" Hiro demands.
"M-M-Miura Homura" he said shaky.
"I see".
"How is this possible... You were dead Hiro" Homura said in haste, finding it hard to believe.
"I survived I guess," Hiro said, still finding It hard to believe he was dead when to him he was just asleep.
"This doesn't make any sense," Homura said holding his hair like he was losing it.
"The others where are they?" Hiro demands.
"Probably dead... we were 10 who decided to head back to base, they are all gone, killed before my eyes by those horrifying creatures and I stood there doing nothing" he sobbed and cried.
"But I don't care... I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I WANTED TO LIVE" he shouts on top of his lungs as he cried like a child, snorts dripping from his nose.
"Is it wrong to live?" he cried.
"I want this nightmare to end, I can't... I can't take it anymore".
Hiro rose to his feet in silence, walking right past him, he stops behind him as the wind blew harshly around them.
Hiro pressed the button behind his neck as the protective gears went off.
Homura turns to him still on his knees.
"Wanting to live..." Hiro began.
"And being a coward are two different things".
Homura's eyes slowly widen at his words.
"Which one are you?" Hiro said turning just his side face.
The tears fell from Homura's eyes uncontrollably.
Hiro faced forward as he began walking.
"Hey..." Homura said faintly.
But Hiro didn't stop.
"What do you think you can do, you're gonna die, those things will tear you apart" Homura hissed on top of his lungs but Hiro didn't stop.
"HIROOOOO" he shouts.

Present Day
Kimura Hiro halts ahead of them at the front, the approaching Kaiju's coming, the wind blew harshly around, it carried his spiky dull red hair weightlessly, flapping his clothes.
"This is not the end!" Hiro said placing his thumb beneath the light leather white material covering his eyes.
The bio-genetics stared stunned, unable to comprehend what was going on and who was standing before them.
Yuki's eyes trembled vigorously.
"We will survive!" he hissed as, through the leather white material, his eyes beamed a bright blue.
"WE'RE NOT GONNA DIE JUST YET!" Hiro shouts.
"HIRO! DON'T!" Homura shouts stepping forward but it was too late.
Hiro took off the leather material, his eyes giving out a wide amount of aura around, along with sparks like an electric surge.
The Kaiju's were near as they jump correspondingly.
"HIRO!" Ten shouts in horror.
Yuki ran towards Hiro.
"YUKI!" Asano shouts.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH" Hiro shouts as his eyes went off like a ticking bomb, consuming everything in front of him.
