Level 17: Bio-genetics Level
General Anzai’s Office
The doors slide open as Shino steps in, he walks to the table where Anzai was seated before saluting.
"Sir!" he yelled, standing upright. The nervous sound of his tone was evident, he gulped.
"Commander Shino" Anzai began in a serious tone, his hands against his jaw, his elbows resting on the table.
"I’m sure you understand the gravity of the position I gave you," he said sternly, hoping that it sank in the boy’s head. He may be young but he knew this kid had the potential, he doesn’t look like it but he had it in him to lead.
"Yes sir, I’m well aware," he said, gulping hard. Still nervous about it.
"I trust in the future you will be able to lead not just the Field Team but the bio-genetics in the future"
Shino’s eyes were saddened by his words.
"But sir..." he began as his fist tightened.
"Why me? Why did you choose me to lead them? I feel Ten is a better candidate for this position... he’s good at analyzing and forging tactics in the heat of the battle... I don’t think I’m capable" Shino said, adding the last part faintly.
A smile found Anzai’s lips. ’He reminds me of someone,’ he chuckled inwardly as a picture of Haruto’s face flashed in his head.
"No," Anzai began.
Shino raised his head to face Anzai.
"You’re more than capable of leading the bio-genetics, over the past year I have studied you and seen the qualities you possess. You carry the bio-genetics along like your brothers and sisters. In order words you are playing well with the rest, that’s exactly what you need when you need people to follow you... relate with them like the back of your hands... and more gaining their trust... I expect that from you and more" Anzai said, rising to his feet, hands behind his back.
Shino’s trembling eyes were on him.
"On this journey, we will most likely encounter Kaijus" he faced him.
"In order words, we will end up fighting them while we ride, a very difficult task but thanks to the Gunbelt we might have a chance in those dire situations" he states.
Shino’s looks turn serious, completely understanding his words and becoming more determined to carry out his duties.
"Which is why I leave that to you, Commander Shino!"
"Yes sir!"

Ruins Of Tokyo
At the sudden memory, Shino’s fist tightens on the throttle. ’General Anzai predicted something like this would happen if the Kaijus attacked... it’s up to the Field Team to defend!’ he knew what he had to do, he mustn’t waver, now was not the time for that, this was time for battle!
"Field Team! Fight the Kaiju while maintaining formation... I repeat ``do not break formation!" He yelled, and the message got through to everyone through the comm.
’We can’t afford to break formation, if we do then we have weak points, the Kaiju’s attacks randomly, not in a pattern so we use that to our advantage’ he thought sternly. This should work, for their training hasn’t been just on them but on the Kaijus, exploiting everything they knew about them from the past one year, it was easy to predict how they would attack, they were mindless creatures after all.
"ROGER!" The Field Team yelled back.
Shino froze, he wasn’t exactly expecting a response from them. He smiled, gaining more confidence.
Sumi’s eyes were on Shino, staring at him with an unreadable expression. ’To think he would come up with a plan like this’ she thought, she looked around. ’All that matters is that I survive, I don’t care what happens next... they chose the perfect partner after all’ she smirks devilishly.
"Sumi!" Shino hissed, snapping her out of her trance.
"Get ready!" he hissed.
"Tsk ’’ she just made an annoyed sound. ’Only relying on your commands because it’s our best chance of surviving this chase’ she thought observing the Kaijus hot on their tails.
Shino moved his Hellhound out of the line but still maintained formation.
The rest of the Field Team moved their Hellhounds too as they covered the rest of the team in a circle.
"Commander Shino has given the order," Yuki said to Hiro.
"Concentrate on attacking," Hiro said, gearing up on his Hellhound.
Yuki smiled. ’I don’t need to worry about him riding, he seems to know what he’s doing’ she thought, Hiro almost seemed like an expert in riding, she wondered how he learned it, but that will be a question for later.
She turns to the running Kaiju catching up to them, fast.
Behind her back, she had twin Katana swords placed in an x format, she reached for it, her Gunbelt making an automatic start-up sound.

"I’m so sorry Ten, I won’t be of much help," Haya said on the verge of tears, she felt useless in their situation. There was nothing she could do to help or support him, which made her feel more useless, if only Ten had perhaps chosen another partner, such wouldn’t have happened.
She bit her lip, tightly. ’I’m so sorry’ her eyes trembled but then it darted to Ten’s raised hand.
She froze as her eyes widened. ’Is that morse code?’ She thought, assessing the movement of his hands and fingers.
’There’s no need to be sorry Haya-chan’
’Ten’ she thought as a small smile found her lips.
’Commander Shino has given the order... focus on attacking the Kaijus, and I ride... be careful Haya-chan’
