THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS-Chapter 154: Time Pause

The moving flame was in a pause, the moving smoke from the wind halted, everything, even the faintest details was put to a halt.

’Impossible’ Shino’s eyes shook as he turned to the Alpha still hanging in the air, its mouth wide open and ready to devour. The bullet he fired was still directed at the Alpha, all in a pause.

’Am I doing this?’ He was stunned. Did he just pause for time? Is he really doing this? Was this possible? He couldn’t wrap his head around it. ’This is not the time to think about such’ he thought as his stern looks turned serious. This was a chance given to him, so he would take it without a moment to lose!

’This is my chance, with this I can stop the Alpha’ he thought once again ready to pull another trigger. The time pause around was slowly moving back, the wind coming back, the Alpha slowly moving, the area coming alive bits by bits.

’I can do this’ he pulled another trigger, that moment the paused time came back to life, by that time the bullet came at the other, readjusting it to the Alpha’s head and it pierced it, the force waved the Alpha off as it landed on the ground hard.

"I got it!" Shino hissed trumpily but he froze when the Alpha moved. Oh no!

"It’s not dead" he panics as the Alpha struggles to get up.

Yuki on the ground groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Everything was blurry but then it cleared. ’What happened?’ She thought, holding her head as she sat up. She didn’t remember a thing, like her mind was under a lock but suddenly her eyes were shaking as she recalled something.

*

After seeing Asano’s remains, after finding out she was dead. A tear slides down Yuki’s cheek at the memory. She used her thumb to brush the tear off her cheek, staring at the water, her eyes trembling.

Suddenly her head sparked like an electric wave, her heart slamming loudly into her chest. The pain, the anguish called for something she couldn’t explain, especially when seeing the tears she shed.

An image flashed in her head, a girl crying, the tears sliding down her cheeks nonstop, her hair bangs covering her eyes so she couldn’t fully recognise the person but there was this familiar feeling and then everything went blank, it was intimate cause goosebumps to found her skin, her hairs pickled with an ease she could explain.

A voice from the voice, so far away but yet so close like it was calling for her, desperate and pleading. But then her consciousness faded away pulling her into an abyss against her will with a voice in the darkness that fueled the rest of her body into action.

Yuki, save him!

*

Yuki gasped at the memory. The rest was blank. She couldn’t recall a single thing or how she got here or how she got a blood wound. She broke out of her thoughts when the Alpha roared dangerously.

Her head shot up at the sound, seeing the scene before her.

"Hiro!" She hissed, seeing his unconscious body on the ground behind Shino.

"Yuki!" Shino hissed, relieved she was okay.

"Commander Shino" she states.

Shino froze. She called him Commander Shino not Shino-san? What the hell was going on and right now looking at her, her violet eyes were darker shades, not light like the one he saw earlier? It was almost as if she had switched personalities.

The Alpha roar came again. Their attention drifted to it. The threat was still on the ground and they were yet to overcome it.

It growled in pain as the bullet embodied in its forehead slowly slid out.

Shino checked his gun and horror filled his eyes in panic. "Dammit I’m out of bullets" he cursed with clenched teeth. Her hands trembled thinking of what he could possibly do in this situation without a weapon.

"Yuki!" He hissed, turning to her.

"You said the Alpha is after Hiro. We have to get him out of here and find the others".

Yuki froze at his words. What? The Alpha is after Hiro? But why?

"The Alpha..." Her eyes shake. "...Is it after Hiro?" Her looks darkened as her cheeks clenched hard. A familiar rage burned deeply in her chest.

She rose to her feet, clenching her hand tightly against her sword, not minding the excruciating pain she was in.

"Commander Shino" she began in a low deadly tone before raising her gaze to reveal rage in them. It made her bio-genetic eyes shine brighter and dangerously. "It won’t lay a finger on him!"

The Alpha roared as the bullet was finally out.

"My bullet didn’t go deeper, but you might have a chance. You did that to its horn with your sword" he pointed out to one of the Alpha’s broken horns.

"My sword" Yuki said sternly as she went into a fighting stance. ’Then I will give it a try again then’ she thought for certain. The Alpha was after Hiro just like Shino said. She didn’t know why but she had a strong feeling it wasn’t for something good.

The voice in her head always told her to protect Hiro for a reason she never came to understand but maybe this was it, maybe it was because the Alpha would one day come looking for him, and she was gonna prevent it.

The Alpha will not take Hiro away. Over her dead body! Her bio-genetics eyes beam dangerously. She doesn’t care if her body is broken or if she loses her limbs. She will crawl if she had to, bite the Alpha to death if she had to, until her heart stops. She will stop it!

The Alpha roared standing up fully, in a zap of speed she came at the Alpha, in a flash she was at the Alpha’s front, her twin sword ready to slash.

"Blood Technique!" she hissed as her sword blades beamed crimson from the flow of her blood.

"TORNADO SMASH!" she shouts as she spins like a tornado charging towards Alpha in a wave.
