Yukio groaned against the ground, his body in excruciating pain, he forces his body to sit up, his vision blurry, he thank God his suit was still intact or else it would have been a different case for him.

"Dr. Touka" he said worried looking around, she was last near him after the explosion. His vision clear and then in a few distance away from him, he saw Touka.

"Dr. Touka!" he hissed as he rushes towards her groaning in pain but he froze when he saw her state.

"No" he said with shaky eyes.

She was on the ground unconscious, the glass protecting her face was broken, her side cheeks covered in round pox signifying the virus slowly creeping into her body.

Yukio knelt beside her.

"This is bad... at this rate she will be..." his eyes shakes vigorously, the truth of her current predicament was horrifying.

He looks around but there was no one in sight, everywhere covered in flames and smoke.

He then assess her face. 'The infection its spreading but at a slow process' he thought quickly taking down his bag, there was an extra oxygen inside. 'If i could still delay the spread... then maybe, maybe we can avoid the worse' his eyes shakes

"You have so much to achieve... you can't die yet Dr. Touka".

***

"The Alpha" he began.

"It didn't attack you"

Shino froze at his words, he instantly recovered what happened a few minutes ago. Raiden was right, the Alpha didn't attack him, why?

*Footsteps Approaching*

Shino turned to the sound, smoke was still around so it was difficult to see, he could only wait in anticipation as the footsteps got closer and closer until it was revealed to be Yuki with a dark expression, her twin Katana at hand.

"Yuki," Shino said elated, glad she was alive.

But Yuki didn't return the same gesture, she just halts her steps.

"Yuki?" He said her name once again but was puzzled, her expression was unreadable, it was almost as if he was staring at a different person.

"Hiro" she began.

"Where is he?" She adds as her light violet eyes land on Shino.

She froze as her eyes went wide in shock when she saw the imprint of the Alpha's horn on Shino's forehead having bits of blood.

"I haven't seen him, we should look for the others too. Yuki?" 

"No" she panicked.

"Yuki, are you okay?" Shino said getting worried, Yuki was off and right now she seemed worse... like she was scared of something.

"They are here..." she said as her eyes shakes vigorously.

"Yuki what are you talking about?"

"They are here for him..."

"Who?" Shino demands.

"Hiro" she said as she rushes to the area the roar was coming from.

"Hey, Yuki!" Shino hissed but she didn't listen.

"Go" Raiden said in a struggle breath.

"No i can't leave you!" Shino hissed.

"I will be fine... please go, she might need help" Raiden said forcing his body to sit up despite the pain he was in.

"But what can i do?" Shino said faintly with shaky eyes.

Raiden placed his short gun on his chest, Shino took it with shaky eyes.

"As long as you can pull a trigger" Raiden said sternly.

Shino's grip tightens on the gun at his words.

"The rest of us has to make it out of here alive... we have to try" he said.

Shino nods as he rise to his feet.

"I will come back" Shino said certain.

Raiden nods, as a small smile found his lips.

"You better" he said smirking.

"Hang on Raiden" Shino said rushing out.

Raiden's eyes sadden, he slowly lifted the jacket, now drenched in his blood.

"I don't think I can, Commander Shino" he said with shaky eyes.

***

Yuki halted her steps, looking around, her features in panic along with a flush of worry.

"Hiro" she said with shaky eyes. 'I can't let them find him' she thought as her hands grips tightly against the sword handle.

The growl came again but this time near, she looks around in alert. She heard dragging sounds, she froze when her eyes lands on the Alpha as the smoke cleared.

"The Alpha" she said with wide eyes.

The Alpha growled halting his step, turning, a tail held an unconscious Hiro on the ground, its tail wrapped around him.

"It was the Alpha" she said sternly.

"You're here for him".

The Alpha growled deeply.

"Well i won't let you take him" she said a her fist tightens on her twin katana swords.

The Alpha roared dangerously, sensing her aura.

Yuki went in fighting stance, her violet eyes beaming the brightest color ever, the inside embodied with gold around in circles even to the smallest, her skin creeps with blue veins, from her neck up to her face.

"Give. Him. Back" Yuki said deadly as her brown hair swirl behind her from an unseen energy.

The Alpha growled deeply.

The tail letting loose of Hiro, but placed him behind.

It then roared lashing at Yuki. With one plunge to the ground it cracks from force as she zapped at the Alpha.

"Yuki!" Shino hissed coming in view, he instantly halts his step, seeing the scene.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Yuki gave a battle cry as she rotates on air slashing her sword on the Alpha's horn, breaking one of it, the force pushed teh Alpha backwards, but it stood its ground as the paws dug on the ground, cracking it. It shakes its head in pain.

"She broke the horn" Shino said stunned.

In rage the Alpha summoned a blue energy form its mouth sending it at Yuki.

She quickly placed her twin sword in an x format like a shield as a red symbol came up in a circle format, rotating. The energy slammed into it causing the earth to shook vigorously.

Yukis slides back but she still stood her ground.

"Yuki!" Shino hissed worried for her safety but he was also in awe at her abilities, he has never seen something like that, her blood manipulation was on a whole different level right right now.

"Shino-San!" She hissed.

Shino-san???? Yuki has never called him that before, what was going on?

"Quick get Hiro, the Alpha its after Hiro!" she hissed trying to block the energy as much as she could.

"What?" Shino said stunned at the revelation, why was the Alpha after Hiro?

"NOW!" She shouts.

"Alright!" He hissed running towards the direction of Hiro.

The Alpha caught this, in rage it enforced the energy directed at Yuki, the sudden force pushing her away.

She body slams the ground hard, her head connecting with ground, as blood slashed.

The Alpha head snaps to where Shino was.

"Come on Hiro, wake up we have to get out of here" Shino said shocking his body, but he was knocked out cold.

And also the imprint was on his forehead also. 'Did the Alpha did the same thing to him too?' He thought with shaky eyes.

The Alpha roared behind him gaining his attention.

Shino turned, he froze when he saw Yuki unconscious on the ground bleeding.

"Yuki!" He hissed.

The Alpha growled.

Shino stood in front of the Alpha pointing his gun, he was shaking because he knew there was nothing he could do at this moment, he can't make use of his blood weapon because of his amputated arm, what was he gonna do? He shut his eyes close as his teeth clenched hard.

"As long as you can pull a trigger"

*

He remembered Raiden's words. 'As long as I can pull a trigger' he repeated the words in his head as he flashes his bio-genetics eyes open.

The iris colour bright crystal blue like a diamond mixed with light and dark shades with a hint of red lines in it, forming a crack moving around, the pupil darkened and extended.

His fist clenched hard on the gun, his blood creeping to it through his veins, fortifying the density of tne bullet.

"I will keep fighting!" he hissed.

The Alpha's roared launching at him on the air.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" He gave a loud battle cry as he pulled the trigger.

In slow motion the bullet came at the Alpha, but Shino saw it wasn't gonna be a head shoot, he was screwed.

'This is bad' he thought with shaky eyes seeing the Alpha still coming in slow motion.

But then he gasp as his eyes went wide, because everything was suddenly paused around him.

'Everything stopped?' He thought, he was still in the same position, he didn't pull his hand down, his gun still pointing at the Alpha, he looks around.

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' his eyss shakes a he turned to the Alpha still hanging on the air, its mouth wide open ready to devour, the bullet he fired still directed at the Alpha, all in a pause.

'Am I doing this?'
