The Awakening: Bio-Genetics

Operation Base

"General Anzai is trying to state a point... he knows each and every one of them holds either hate or fear of the Kaijus, the reality of the Kaijus being civilians but turned monsters that devour human flesh," Tori said sternly.

"He knows by the desire driven to become stronger and overcome their weakness they might be too driven," he adds.

"He's trying to prevent any loopholes and more protect their sanity," Touka said with a smile against her lips. 'General Anzai do you really care about the bio-genetics this much?' She turns her gaze to Anzai's unconscious body in the machine.

She smiles more as her heart felt warm. 'You really do' she thought once again almost teary.

"What do we do then?" Hiro asks shakily.

"I... I want to become stronger so that I can protect my friends, and find the truth, I can't stop now can I?" He states.

A small smile found Anzai's lips. 'All he wants is to protect his friends' he thought. 'You're so like your father Hiro, even if you don't know it', a picture of Haruto's smiling face flashed in his head.

"Being human is what makes us stronger... use that as your weapon" Anzai said, his eyes laced with seriousness.

Hiro's body stiffen at his words, his eyebrow raised signifying his eyes were widened by his words.

The wind blowing around in a wave, Their clothes flapping from the effect.

"Your desire to protect your friends and move forward is all the drive you need to stay human, always remember that".

The moment Anzai said those words, the earth shook.

Hiro panics wondering what was happening, the sudden shock to the ground caused him to be alerted.

Kazuya walks into the base, licking her lips.

"And now for my creations to shine," she said smirking, gaining their attention.

"Behold I present to you," she said spreading her arms at both sides.

"An Alpha of my own making!"

Hiro was stunned as the ground opened a few distances away from them, something levitating upwards, at the mere sense of it, Hiro froze.

"An Alpha!" He panics.

But then he paused. 'No it can't be' he thought now sensing the difference.

It looked exactly like an Alpha the same height, on all fours, horns, but the body made of metal, teeth made of sharp iron, it was almost as terrifying as the real deal.

The body is black in colour, embodied with crimson lines.

From the sense of it, Hiro could tell it was blood, but whose?

"That mechanic Alpha was designed by Kazuya, with the use of your blood," Anzai said.

Hiro froze at his words.

"My blood?" He said in awe.

'That means...' He gulps hard. 'I'm most likely facing a real Alpha at a higher level!' He panics.

"Amazing you designed this? it looks so real" Kashi said in awe, staring at the screens that each had the footage of the 26 bio-genetics, the Alpha in their midst.

Kazuya chuckled proudly.

"It's more efficient like the real deal, and also animalistic as it can be, at command," she said devilishly.

Kashi gulps at her words.

"But are all the Alpha's made from Hiro's blood?" Kaede asked.

Kazuya sighs.

"Sadly yes... I suggested the Alpha should be made from each of their blood, but he wants no partiality, but I made a level panel to control the Alpha's attack form, so right now they are all set to Easy" she explains.

"Lemme guess, easy, medium and difficultly," Hachiro said in an obvious tone.

"Exactly," Kazuya said elated as her hands claimed together.

"My love for video games is finally speaking" she adds.

Hachiro just rolled his eyes.

"Currently the mode of the Alpha is set to easy" Anzai began, facing Hiro.

"This is your training Hiro, defeat each level of the Alpha" he announced.

Hiro gulps hard.

"That means I defeat the easy level and then move on to the next level?"

"Exactly" Anzai said as in a flash he was up on a tree seated in a meditative position.

'Now let the main purpose of this begin' Anzai thought sternly.

That moment the wide space Hiro was in, an iron wall came up around about 15 feet tall, forming around like an arena.

The Alpha came online, roaring chaotic, in form of a robot sound.

The iron nails came out, sharply, both its iron fangs also.

Hiro gulps hard.

"Relax Hiro, this is easy level right now, how hard could it be?" He said to himself in reason, holding his sword with both hands.

'It should be easy to pass the first level' he thought for certain.

In a zap, the Alpha was nowhere to be seen.

Hiro froze at this. 'W-where did it go?' He thought in panic.

In a flash, the Alpha was behind him.

'Behind!!' He turned but it was too late, with one swing of his hand Hiro was sent flying to the walls slamming it hard, he was upside down his body gulped to it.

He groaned as he slide down to the ground, his body shocking in pain, he used his sword to support his weight, on one knee.

"Why do I get the feeling, that the easy level isn't exactly easy," Touka said.

Kazuya chuckled licking her lips.

"General Anzai orders" she announced.

"This training shall be unlike the one they have ever pass through, tough and steadfast no impartiality" she explained.

"A tough training, then they should need some medical care right?" Touka said worriedly.

"Relax Touka-san, only wounds from the Kaiju's cause for slow healing, this isn't a real Alpha so we're at a safer side," Hachiro said adjusting his glasses.

"Dammit" Hiro cursed rising to his feet, the cut in his cheeks closing up instantly, he wipes his mouth as his looks turned serious, it was both pissed and determined.

Anzai from where he was smirks.

"It's about time this got interesting".
