"Commander Shino"

"Commander Shino"

"Commander Shino!"

"Dammit Shino! Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

Shino groaned in pain slowly opening his eyes, everything blurred at first before his vision cleared and he met with Hiro.

"Hiro?" He said.

Relief flushed Hiro’s face. He was okay, just knocked unconscious. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"You’re okay," he said, helping him sit up.

He growled in pain, turning to his robot arm, it was turned the other way giving off electric sparks. ’Dammit!’ He cursed internally.

"The beam came outta nowhere," Hiro said.

Shino finally looked around, his hellhound was in pieces, he gulped hard at the sight, the rest of the Hellhound were in disarray but not completely destroyed.

"Sumi!" Shino panicked.

"Relax, she’s okay, Dr. Touka is tending to her," Hiro assured him.

He turned to see Dr. Touka helping her bandage her leg, the bruise wasn’t much.

Their eyes met but she looked away with a stern expression, Shino’s eyes sadden.

"That crash," Sumi said with shaky eyes.

Touka paused her action.

"It should have killed us," she added.

Touka blinked and puzzled.

Sumi in her head, at that dire moment, it was like time stopped, she was puzzled by it but she knew Shino did something in a blink of an eye, but what? Because surely they should have ended up as that crushed Hellhound but they got out with just scratches.

Whatever Shino did saved their lives but she couldn’t explain it. ’What could it be?’ She thought, trying her hardest not to look back at Shino. She could feel his gaze burning the side of her head.

"After the beam came at you guys, you crashed into us, we had to stop to check if there were other casualties," Hiro explained. "Thankfully no one has any life-threatening injuries.

Shino held his head, everything spun for a moment, he must have had quite a fall. It was hard to miss the splitting coming through too.

Yuki helped Izumi up, her body still shocked in pain from the crash.

"Thank you Yuki" she said with a smile against her lips.

"Izumi are you okay?" Akira asked worriedly.

She nods.

"Our Hellhounds are jammed, it could take a while before we get it started," Hiro said. This was the only thing they had to worry about.

"Commander Shino, Hiro," Raiden said, walking up to them.

They turned, he held his blood weapon at hand, halting.

"I just finished surveying the entire area, not a single sight of Kaiju or any Alpha in sight, where the beam came from is still unknown" he said finding it hard to believe himself. It would be a better explanation if an Alpha was spotted.

"That can’t be right, that beam must have come from somewhere" Hiro said for certain but still he couldn’t pinpoint any weird energy signal around, then what was it?

"Bio-genetics, how long are we gonna hang around in the middle of nowhere" a personnel said, pissed , walking up to them. "We need to get a move on before another incident occur and delay our mission"

We need to check if there’s any potential threats around first, it might be risky to move right now and besides our Hellhound jammed a little, it could take some time before the engine starts up" Raiden said.

"Don’t give me that bullshit!" He snaps.

"I say let get moving right now, the sooner we move the sooner we get to Fukuoka, we have no time to waste"

Hiro’s teeth clenched as he rose to his feet abruptly, even though the man was taller than Hiro, he wasn’t gonna let that stop him.

"As you can see, some of us are hurt, we can’t just move without coordination!" Hiro hissed. Can’t he see there was no formation? And he just expects them to get a move on?

"I don’t give a damn about coordination, you’re just a bunch of kids turned soldiers aren’t you... so follow the orders like a good boy and do your job and get us out of here!"

Hiro growled about coming at him, but Shino quickly placed a hand on his shoulder to stop him from acting wildly.

"Hiro!" He hissed.

"Tsk", Hiro made a sound annoyed, he was so ready to punch that bastards face, he didn’t give any regard to his comrades that were injured from the crash or the current unknown state they were in, they only just give a damn about getting to Fukuoka unscathed. They were all selfish. Can’t they see they were all risking their lives here?

The small device Yukio held made a beaming sound, he blinked at it puzzled.

"What is that?" Touka asked, rising to her feet.

"Just a small signature device, but it’s acting weird" he said puzzled, staring at the red wave coming close to them.

"Just do your damn job and get us out of here!".

At the sound of the voice they turned to the screen, a personnel was arguing with Hiro.

Hiro was beyond pissed at this moment, if it wasn’t for Shino gripping his shoulder he would have launched at him and given him a piece of his mind. Making redesigning the bastard’s face will get him to stop talking!

Hiro was about to launch at him with words but then he paused as a feeling overwhelmed him.

Hiro paused as he moved his head behind the personnel, he sensed it, it was glossy almost like it was transparent, the shape, the movement, it was that of a Kaiju, he panicked because it was coming right at them fast and unseen almost like it was....
