THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS-Chapter 134: Aftermath [1]

INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Kaijus also known as ’Strange Beasts’ seem to operate under the command of an Alpha. It is discovered that the Alpha uses its roar to control the Kaiju.

The Alpha can control up to 350 Kaijus in its pack.

It has long legs on all fours, having sharp large claws, a hunched back-like position, and meat-like skin that 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 had two canine teeth, very sharp like a saber tooth. Two big deadly horns at its head.

Daiki took a deep harsh unstable breath as he drew backward, with hands behind him against the ground as the Kaiju came at him.

But suddenly the Kaiju stopped abruptly as its head vibrated tremendously, it roared in pain at the effect, and the remaining Kaijus did too.

For a minute there he thought he was a goner but then something mysterious happened.

"What’s happening?" Asano said behind Raiden, he shielded her from the Kaijus which were now going berserk in pain. Their bodies are covered in dirt and wounds along with the rest of the bio-genetics.

"I don’t know," Raiden said with shaky eyes. Whatever it was, it seemed to be excruciating for them. It was bizarre to watch such beings go through pain like this. It seemed like their heads would split open with each vibration and their screeching sound so ear-piercing they had to cover their ears from the intense sound.

"General Anzai," Tori said.

"Yes," Anzai said sternly.

"The Alpha is dead" he adds for certain, they did it, they defeated the Alpha, and now the Kaijus will have no one to answer to. It had to be the reason why they were acting this way. They could all feel it, their power had diminished.

"Bio-genetics!" Anzai hissed, gaining their attention.

"THE ALPHA IS DEAD! ATTACK ON FULL FORCE!" he shouts, setting his gun, and so does Tori.

"YES SIR!" they shouted back as they stormed at the Kaijus, killing them more swiftly than before, until there were none.

Hours Later

The entire area was filled with dead Kaijus, their bodies going up in steam, decaying.

Hachiro took some samples before they fully dried up, he collected some pieces of the Kaiju skins, placing them in a small cylinder tube filled with blue water to keep the skin preserved, before rising to his feet. ’Touka-san’ he thought with sad eyes. ’Please be okay’ his eyes shook in response.

They went with the team that took down the Alpha. Even though they succeeded it wasn’t certain yet if all of them survived, there could be casualties.

"I see them! They are coming!" Ryu shouts from the top of the rooftop he was in, spotting Dr. Touka, Ten, Haya, Hiro, Shino, Homura, and Yuki.

"Homura?" Ryu said, puzzled, he thought he was dead, they hadn’t seen a glimpse of him since.

Anzai steps forward along with the others, a smile on his lips but it slowly fades away when he sees their condition. A sharp pain in his chest as he observed all of them. They may have had victory but this was wrecking to the core to see.

Their bodies covered in dirt and wounds, and Shino’s one good arm around Hiro’s shoulder as they walked close.

Anzai’s eyes land on Shino’s amputated arm.

Everyone stared in awe at the scene.

Mirai gasped as she covered her mouth.

"Commander Shino," Yumi said as her eyes circled in tears.

Sumi froze where she was, her eyes went wide.

They halt their steps.

"General Anzai," Touka said with sad eyes.

Anzai had a dark unreadable expression on his features.

It was almost sundown, and the bio-genetics prepared a building they would camp in, inside was wide with several spaces looking like an auditorium, and every one of them set their spaces to settle in. The rooftop was ripped off, showing the now orange skies.

"Is this all of them?!" Anzai asked, he was seated on a boulder, staring at the bag that held dog tags stained with blood.

"Yes sir," Ren said with sad eyes, he and Mizuki were asked to gather the dog tags of the dead bio-genetics.

"21 in number, sir," Mizuki said with an unreadable expression.

"I see," Anzai said sternly.

"We were also able to gather the Hellhounds... but," Ren said as he gulped hard.

"Most of our supplies are destroyed" he adds.

Anzai’s body twitched at his words.

"You’re dismissed," Anzai said sternly, closing his eyes.

"Sir!" They saluted, walking away, leaving Anzai to his thoughts.

He slowly opens his sad red eyes as it lands on the view before him.

The bio-genetics were scattered around, most of them getting treated by Kashi, Kenta, Hachiro, and Touka.

Some sat on a corner lost in thoughts, while some cried of their lost friends or comrades.

"This is not a sight to see," Kazuya said walking towards Anzai, standing beside him, with arms folded, her eyes sad as she watched the bio-genetics.

"It’s not my place to say this but... can we really continue our journey to Fukuoka when there’s not much of us left?" She asked, facing him with shaky eyes.

Anzai’s fist clenched hard.

"We came to the surface knowing the worst would happen, knowing we would face things beyond us," he said sternly.

Kazuya gulps hard.

"Just a hunch but, what makes us think that’s the only Alpha we’re gonna face? What if there’s another pack out there, we’re at a liability here" she said with trembling eyes.

"Connect to base, I need to speak with the Prime Minister," Anzai said sternly as he rose to his feet walking away.

Kazuya sighs deeply, as her eyes land on the view once again.

"At this rate, we will..." her eyes trembled more.
