"Living Organism," Touka said stunned as she turned her chair to face Shino, Ten, and Haya.

Ten nods.

"Kenta spoke of them like a race of species, he also went as far as saying they were the superior species and the predator and that we were the prey" Ten explained.

"This changes everything, never has a virus been considered as a living organism, but I don't understand, this is a virus and there is nothing more to it right?" She said with shaky eyes.

"We have gone too deep to believe that, I have a feeling we're are dealing with something more than an Sp-virus" Ten said sternly.

"If the Sp-virus is a living Organism it either came from somewhere or someone created it," Haya said.

"Viruses as we know it comes from broken pieces of genetic material inside early cells. These pieces were able to escape their original organism and infect another cell. In this way, they evolved into viruses, it could have evolved or been scientifically enhanced" Touka said sternly.

"There has to be a source, someone has to be responsible for causing and making such a virus," Shino said for certain.

"The virus..." Touka began with shaky eyes.

"Was already a living organism before realize, without infecting yet it has already been alive and taking over the host? How's that possible?" she adds with shaky eyes.

"This Queen Kaiju" Ten began with trembling eyes.

"She's not just an ordinary Kaiju," he add, he felt it and he believed it to be so, deep within him he knew and believed that this was something more than a virus but what could it be?

Level 10: Training Facility

"Achoo!" Kaname sneezed painfully.

"God, my nose is killing me," He said with anime tears.

"Eww... at least wipe that snort off your nose," Ren said grimacing as he saw the fluid.

Kaname grabs a handkerchief that he held.

"Sorry," he said before blowing on it.

"I heard General Anzai has made full recovery," Fuijo said lifting preloaded dumbbells.

"Yeah, Hiro, Shino, and Yuki too," Mizuki said engaging in the same exercise with his usual smiley face.

"It's still a big shook though what happened to Kenta," Homura said with sad eyes.

"Hey focus!" Kaneki barked throwing a punch at the foam paddles he held.

Homura stumbled backward at the force.

"Sorry," he said.

"Tsk" Kaneki just made a sound annoyed.

"Let's forget all this talk about Kenta and focus on the more pressing issue," Kaneki said sounding pissed.

"The war plan?" Ren said raising an eyebrow, he knew that was the only topic, they were supposed to resume it when General Anzai has fully recovered.

"No... that," Kaneki said and just like the cue to his words, the lights around blinked for a second and went back to normal.

"Now that you mention it, it has been doing that weird thing for a week now," Ren said staring at the lights.

"I have never seen the lights blinked before," Fuijo said with shaky eyes, he had a bad feeling about this, he wondered what the cause was.

"The base sustained a lot of damage doing the outbreak," Raiden spoke up, their attention drifting to him.

"It could be what is causing it" he add.

Level 20: Prime Minister Level

"Kiyoshi-sama, the base is..." A man said with trembling eyes, around his 50s, he had dark short hair and grey eyes.

Kiyoshi's eyes narrowed, after hearing everything from him, he knew what he feared the most was about to happen especially in the current predicament they were in.

Level 12: Civilians Level

"I have checked the name list of the remaining civilians we have... I'm sorry General Anzai but Kado isn't one of them, his name is part of the deceased during the outbreak" a lower guard said sadly.

"I see," General Anzai said faintly.

"Is there any other thing I can help you with sir?"

"No, you may go"

He bowed before walking away.

Anzai's eyes saddened as his fist clenched hard. 'Kado' his eyes shakes. 'So you didn't make it huh?' he thought remembering his usual smiley face, the first friend he had within the base, the person who always scolded him to find a fraction.

Anzai smiled at the memory.

Months Ago

"Is the surface even worth claiming? They are most likely sending you and the rest of those kids to their deaths... it's unfair" Kado fist tightens hard against the bottle.

They were in a bar, engaging in a talk, before Anzai and the Bio-genetics would depart for their mission.

"Kado" Anzai began not meeting gaze with him, his expression, dark.

"We can't stay in the underground forever... either we run out of food or water... or power, this base can't go on for years, we all know that," he said.

Kado gulps hard at his words, Anzai's eyes finally met his.

"We must fight to reclaim what belongs to us, and come out from this pandemic, for the sake of the next generations to come, we must keep going," Anzai said his eyes laced with seriousness.

"Don't die Anzai" Kado said in a serious tone, his features in a frown.

"We can't afford to lose people like you... or we will really be doomed".

Anzai smirks.

"I don't intend on dying so soon"

They cheered their drinks.

Present Day

Anzai's eyes went teary, he now stood in front of the abandoned fraction, The market fraction where the outbreak started, where Kado shop once was, the entrance to the hall was sealed.

'Rest in peace Kado... at least you don't have to live in this cruel world anymore, rest now' he thought as he turned walking away.

On his way, a guard approached him.

"General Anzai!" he saluted.

"Prime Minister Kiyoshi requests your presence".

Section Two: Planting Fraction

Kazuya stood watching some growing plants around within a transparent glass against the wall as it was being attended to by workers, her eyes saddened because she had been here before and it wasn't like this, they were at a great loss here, the little plants they had to produce food, was greatly reduced, what would become of them now?

"Kazuya-san" she turned at the sound of her name, seeing an elderly woman holding onto a 4 years old boy, he had yellow hair and bright blue eyes.

Kazuya smiled warmly at him.

"Hello Sota"
