THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS-Chapter 118: Alpha?

*Loud Sound Of Heartbeat*

The sound echoed in his eardrums and his mere breathing in spite of the noises around could be heard too, his body giving a strong alert feeling that both got him on guard but also scared the shit out of him. This overwhelming feeling... this aura he sensed.

’This feeling...’ He thought sweating profusely as he raised his head to stare into the distance. ’This aura...’ He shakes at the familiar feeling.

’Could it be...’

The Building Ruins

A building away, on a rooftop, a creature growled deeply. It wasn’t like the rest of the Kaiju but different. It has long legs on all fours, sharp large claws, hunched back-like position, and meat-like skin which was reddish-brown just like the other Kaiju’s but was bigger and taller than the rest. No eyes, just a hump of flesh, ears like a coil with no skin, vibrating like a humming sound, ready to detect anything a mile away. It also had shark-like teeth but two canine teeth, very sharp like a saber tooth. Two big deadly horns at its head.

The creature snarled deadly, then roared so loudly, shocking the earth.

Everyone heard it loud and clear but couldn’t tell from where.

"That sound," Shino said with trembling eyes.

"Have you heard it before?" Sumi asked, wondering what got Shino trembling.

"Yes... the exact same creature that now brought a whole building" Shino said with clenched teeth.

He remembered one year ago when he, Ten, and Hiro went off on their own to complete the mission of installing visuals with the outside world, the strange creature they saw... different from the rest of the Kaiju.

Playing back the memories in his head gives him the chills and the exact pressure and fear of that day, fighting for your life but you know it would slip away.

Ten gulps hard recognizing the sound, the same sound that haunted his dreams for a year, the very event he couldn’t picture away from his head, and the same heart-wrenching fear that overcame his bones on sparks.

"It’s that creature," he said without a doubt, trembling. There was no doubt about that... a creature they were yet to identify and showed terrifying powers that the mere Kaijus weren’t capable of.

"What’s that sound?" Touka said, shaking from the mere sound of it.

"I don’t know," Hachiro said sternly.

"But whatever it is... it can’t be good," he adds.

They drove to the building ruins, now riding on the concrete floor.

"We should be off the Kaijus for now," Tori said, but still his eyes scanned for any potential threats.

’Let’s hope we are off the worst here’ Kazuya thought, shaking slightly, still recovering from what happened, the screams and shouts of the bio-genetics still rang in her head, if it wasn’t for them fighting and ensuring they still rode, they would have been a goner.

"Everything will be alright, Kazuya," Tori said, his head still facing front.

Kazuya stiffens at his words.

"I will protect you" he adds, his tone laced with seriousness.

A smile found her lips, she tightened her arms around Tori’s waist more in response.

Anzai rode almost getting to where they were. ’No Kaijus in pursuit anymore’ he thought, his eyes assessing the buildings but still his body felt unease. ’That roar...’ his eyes shook. ’Where did it come from?’

Suddenly the shocking roar sound came again, everyone on alert at the sound again.

"What is that damn sound?" Mosu said getting irritated.

Enyo behind him was practically shaking in fear.

_ _ _

’That sound’ Ten thought deeply. ’It’s almost as if...’ his eyes were shaking. ’... as if... as if it’s calling something’ he froze and then his eyes widened in realization. ’Don’t tell me...’

_ _ _

From a building, a Kaiju burst out, the window glass shattering from the impact.

Touka turned as her eyes widened in horror, it was coming right at them.

"HACHIRO!" she shouts.

He got the signal as he drifted the Hellhound, the tires making a loud squealing sound. The Kaiju stumbled on the ground, but due to the drift force, Touka was sent flying off the Hellhound.

In a panic, Hachiro turned but it was too late.

"TOUKA-SAN!!!" He shouts in horror.

In slow motion she was in the air, her eyes widening unable to process what was unfolding, behind her a Kaiju jumped, opening its mouth wide to devour. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

’I’m...’ her eyes shook. ’I’m going to die...’ she thought. ’My Gunbelt it’s not working... is this... is this it?’

"TOUKA!!!"

At the sound of Anzai’s voice, she was snapped out of the illusion of her dying.

Instantly Anzai came in between, and Touka landed in front of him, he held her firm, before turning to shoot at the Kaiju, it was sent backward at the force of the bullet, blood splashing as it did.

"General Anzai," Touka said with shaky eyes.

He faced her.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

She nods, her eyes shake on the verge of tears, she really thought she was going to die.

"Thank you," Touka said as her eyes circled in tears.

Anzai smiled faintly, relieved she was okay.

_ _ _

Hachiro took a deep breath of relief his heart almost gave out when he thought the Kaiju’s mouth would have swallowed her whole.

All driving actions were seized, all still recovering from the shock.

"You ride with me," Anzai said.

Touka nods, going behind and straddling the Hellhound.

"Everyone let’s ke-"

"GENERAL ANZAI!!" Ten shouts gain all their attention.

"Ten," Shino said with shaky eyes.

"It’s the sound!" Ten yelled.

They were puzzled by his words.

"What’s the kid trying to say?" Kenta said, getting irritated by the delay, they should get moving already.

Kashi just gulped hard behind him, he was shaking tremendously in pure fear.

"That sound is coming from the Alpha!" Ten hissed once again.

"The Alpha?" Anzai and Touka said in unison.

In response to that, another shocking roar came again.

Kaijus burst out of the building, a cluster of them, like in slow motion, they all raised their heads as their eyes widened in horror.

The Kaijus launched downwards roaring.
