THE AWAKENING: BIO-GENETICS-Chapter 129: Critical Condition
Hiro stirs awake, gaining their attention.
"Hiro," Touka said, worried.
Hiro slowly sat up, his body shocked in pain, he held his side with clenched teeth. That fall earlier... he was sure something was broken from it, he didn’t heal like the normal bio-genetics after all. The pain exploded his insides and he had to bear it and not scream in agonizing pain because of how much it hurt. Just moving caused him to breathe heavily.
His head flashed the attack, the Alpha disappearing all of a sudden, and then the weird thing it did with its mouth and then Shino...
He froze ’Shino’ he thought in panic turning beside him.
"Dr. Touka, Homura?"He said, sensing their aura.
They stared at him with sad eyes and then his head bent, sensing Shino’s aura and the condition he was in, it was like a cold bucket of water was dropped on him, his body trembling his eyes underneath the Ring were widened in extreme bewilderment.
"Shino!" He hissed, going in his knees beside him and checking him, his body shocked more when he saw his amputated arm.
"This was the only way, he wasn’t healing," Touka said with sad eyes.
Tears instantly stained the Ring, sliding down his cheeks.
His fist tightened against Shino’s clothes, he was in this state because Shino saved him, he protected him without fearing the consequences and now he was in this state because of him.
Hiro’s teeth clenched hard as his head bent, the tears streaming down uncontrollably.

"Your blood weapon hasn’t been activated yet?" Shino asked, puzzled.
"The damn stick won’t budge" Hiro states, clicking the tip of the gun behind his waist as the bullet refills.
"I’m sure it’s just a glitch, I believe you will overcome it, Hiro," Shino said with a smile against his lips.
Hiro froze at his words, he looked away.
"I didn’t ask for your opinion," he grumbled.
Shino just grinned, he faced forward.
"Friends give an opinion, Hiro... get used to it"
*
Hiro could still remember their small-time discussion and how he felt when he called him a friend, the only friend he has ever had was Shinzo, before black storm day he had never thought of having any even after black storm day he never considered anyone his friend.
Hiro cried silently, the tears coming down endlessly as his teeth clenched more.
Suddenly a loud roar came in from the Alpha, it shook everywhere along with the building areas they were in, they turned to a destroyed space that showed the Alpha on a rooftop circling on it.
"What is that?" Homura said, shaking in fear just at the mere sight of it.
"It’s from the Alpha," Touka said, bringing out small portable oxygen from her bag, placing the mouth breather on his nose and mouth. Shino breathed steadily and slowly.
"The Alpha?"
"Dr. Touka" Haya’s voice came in, they turned to the sound of it except Hiro.
Haya took a harsh breath, a weak Ten had his arm around her shoulder, an unconscious Yuki at the other side of her.
"Haya, Ten, Yuki" Touka said in shock at their state.
Homura quickly rushed to help Haya.
They helped them to the ground, and Touka rushed to them.
"Yuki," Ten said weakly.
"Yuki... she’s badly hurt" he adds.
"Haya, Homura, apply pressure to his wounds, it will heal but very slowly" she states, seeing that most of his wounds were already steaming close but it would take a lot of time.
Touka rushed to Yuki, unbuttoning her jacket.
A petrified Hiro turns to them, his body and mental state in pain, unable to think or act as the critical condition of his friend shut his body down.
Touka rips Yuki’s shirt, only around her stomach area, she gasps when she sees her stomach embodied in black blood within, signifying internal injury.
Hiro’s heart slams a loud heartbeat when he senses it, his brain fuzzing and snapping, his body stiff and pale, his inner body succumbing to pain and anger.
"I don’t have enough equipment here," Touka said with widened eyes of horror, these kids’ conditions were too much to handle all by herself, she needed help.
"The Alpha" Ten said weakly as he forced his body up, Haya and Homura helped him sit up.
"Yuki’s blade couldn’t even scratch it, it was almost like," he said with widened eyes of horror.
"Almost like our blood weapons don’t work on it".
They froze at his theory as extreme fear shocked their body.
"That thing is on a whole different level, Haya-chan’s energy would have been able to cut but it deflected it using its horn, nothing else can work, nothing," he said with a trembling body.
"Ten" Haya said with sad eyes reading his lips.
"We can’t defeat the Alpha, at this rate" The tears fell from his eyes.
"We aren’t gonna make it alive" he adds crying. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"The others risking their lives to keep the rest of the Kaijus distracted aren’t gonna make it at this rate" he held his head shaking.
"I can’t think of anything" he shakes more.
"I can’t think of any solution" he sobs as his eyes drift to Shino and his state, which he saw earlier, that broke his heart to a million pieces.
"We are in no position to fight anymore... it’s over".
Hiro’s lips pressed in a thin line, his bag beside him, he grabs it bringing out the small black stick.
He slowly rose to his feet, his body shocked in tremendous pain but he ignored it.
*Sounds Of Footsteps*
All eyes land on him.
"Hiro?" Touka said with trembling eyes puzzled by his actions.
In silence Hiro walks to the destroyed edge standing in front, they all watch him with widened eyes, was he seriously thinking of fighting?
The wind blew around caressing his spiky red hair, flapping his clothes, the stick stretched to its normal height.
"Hey Hiro," Ten said, rising to his feet, his eyes trembling.
"What are you thinking of doing?".
