The Awakening: Bio-Genetics

The Lobby

Anzai stopped, leaning on the wall in pain as he held his side.

"General Anzai" Tori said worried as he held him steady.

Anzai stared at his trembling hand.

"Those kids are crazy ass strong" Anzai said as he sweats profusely.

"They are a whole new level of nonhuman" he adds, he was lucky he was able to deflect that much attack all at once.

"You shouldn't have done that, you could have gotten yourself killed" Tori said with shaky eyes.

Anzai held his side as he growled in pain.

"That Yuki girl kick didn't even reach me, but yet..." Anazi said with a stern expression.

"Just the force, it's like I was hit by a bullet, a feeling I never thought I will experience again" Anzai adds with shaky eyes. He remembered when Dr. Touka told him about Yuki's quick adjustment and not to talk more of that Sand kid, he was fast like a lightning bolt, if it wasn't for his fast move reading and counterattack, he wouldn't have been able to dodge that deadly attack.

"What next General Anzai, do you intend to fight them again? What exactly are you trying to prove!" Tori hissed, he didn't like the idea of Anzai doing this. it was too much, who knows what will happen if he intends on facing them again.

Anzai smirked.

"Tomorrow will tell" he said in amusement.

Hours later

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level

Room hall

No one was asleep or ate that day, they were all awake in deep thoughts. Their mind reliving what happened and the words General Anazi said to them.

Yuki got off her bed, Asano didn't notice as she was lost in her thoughts also.

Yuki strolled all the way to Hiro's room, she tap on the wall as the door slide open.

Ten turned abruptly.

"Oh it's you" he said in a bored tone seating up.

Yuki's gaze drifts to Hiro's empty bed, her body stiffen not seeing him there.

"Where is he?!" She demands.

"Hey easy, I didn't even know when he left" Ten said raising his hand in defense.

"What's with you when it comes to Hiro?!" He adds sweat dropping behind his head.

"None of your business" she said with a dark expression that seem scary as she walks away, the door slide shut.

"She can't be serious" Ten said with twitching eyebrow, he then sighs as his gaze drifts to Hiro's empty bed, he must be going through a tough time after what General Anzai said, they all were, he sighs once more lying back on his bed.

Level 10: Training Facility 

As Yuki walks in she could hear grunts and sounds of punches, her eyes lands on the far east side of the training hall where there were some equipment, for physic training.

Hiro was punching one of the black punching bags but it didn't seem to move even though he gave hard punches, he sweats profusely, showing he had been at it for hours, he was still on his training clothes.

Yuki approached him.

"Thought I might find you here" she states halting her steps.

Hiro took harsh breath as he stops, his palms against his knees as he bent down a bit, his sweats dripping on the metal making light noises.

Her gaze lands on his bruised knuckles that barely healed.

"Your hand!" she panicked as she rushed grabbing them.

Hiro growled as he yanked his hand off, away from her touch.

"Hiro..." she began.

"CAN'T YOU SEE!" he shouts, making Yuki's body tensed.

"I not only can't summon my abilities like the rest... I also" his voice cracked.

"I can't even hear fast enough" he broke in tears.

"The surgery may have been successful and still have my senses back, but look at me... I'm so vulnerable and there's nothing I can do about it" he teeth clenched in a tight hold, he raised his shaking bruised hands.

"I expected much... don't think for once that because you're blind there's nothing you can do... That's bullshit! Because only a coward would think because of his disability, he can't do a damn thing!"

General Anzai's words were like a sharp bullets piercing his head, his fist clenched in a tight hold.

"But I... I can't stop here, i can't give up", the tears fell uncontrollably.

"The don't" Yuki said in a strong voice, Hiro's body tensed at her words.

"Don't stop her! Don't give up... or you will be a weakling for the rest of the your life" she said sternly.

Hiro's body trembled at her words but then it stops, he took a deep sniff standing up right, he used the back of his hands to wipe his wet cheeks. He fist his hands up in a tight fist.

Yuki walked to the back of the punching bag holding it steady.

Hiro punched and kicked the bag, it only just moved slightly, he kept kicking and kicking and then he punched, he punched as hard as he could not minding his bruised fist.

At the entrance of the training hall, Anzai stood unnoticed, a cigar between his lips blowing steams, he had a dark expression on.

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level

Room Hall

With dark expressions, the bio-genetics all stepped out gathering in the corridor like in a meeting, the wide corridor contained all of them.

"I can't take this anymore" Kaneki said pissed.

"It's shocking that even with abilities we can't land a single punch on him" Shino said sternly, their fists tighten.

"It shows we really are weak despite our abilities" Mirai said sternly.

"We have to think of something" Shino said sternly, they nodded in agreement.

"We have to work together as a team, that's the only way, you all saw what Sand and Yuki were able to pull off... because they worked together" he adds in reason.

"As much as i like to disagree with everything you say... i have to agree" Sumi said in a dark tone.

"Let's work together to take him down" she adds.
