The Awakening: Bio-Genetics - Chapter 248

“Why keep fighting?” He demands.

Hiro stood fully, his bio-genetics eyes on him.

“You will never understand, Kenta, you have given up on humanity haven’t you?”, his fist clenched hard.

“You love nothing, you care for nothing, you betrayed the one person who called you friend, you betrayed the people who look up to you”

He chuckled deeply.

“So what now Hiro?” he asked in amusement.

“Are you gonna kill me?”

Hiro’s body flinched at his words.

Ten rushed to him.

“We can’t Hiro,” he said turning to him.

“As much as I would love to say yes right now, we have to detain him and let the higher-ups decide, he will answer for his crimes the right way”

Kenta laughed out loud.

“Will you stop laughing!” Ten yelled with white eyes, he was getting sick at that evil sound, it gave him the chills.

“Look at him Ten,” Hiro said with sad eyes.

“He’s basically not the Kenta we know anymore”

“Yes! The weak Kenta you knew is gone!” he yelled.

“No…” Hiro said shocking his head negatively.

“The human Kenta we knew is gone”

He froze at his words as his eyes trembled, which struck him more than he expected it to. ‘Yes…’ he thought. ‘I’m not worthy to be called human anymore’ he reminisced all the things he’s done and several times he thought he was losing it. ‘Does it matter?’ his eyes fell weak. ‘It doesn’t’ his fist clenched hard.

‘Kenta’ his whole body gave a pulse sound when he heard his name, her distorted feminine voice. ‘Queen Kaiju’ his eyes trembled vigorously, suddenly it was just him in an abyss.

A bright light came, he raised his head, he had only heard her voice this entire time but right now he was gazing upon her true form, how glorious it was.

“Are you saying we should kill him?” Ten asked Hiro.

“I mean we have killed, but they were mindless monsters who weren’t talking and completely gone bonkers but right here there’s still Kenta, it’s like killing a human being” Ten reasons as his eyes land on Kenta who had his head hung down.

“Even though he’s a monster” he adds.

Kenta chuckled deeply.

“Fools”

They froze at the sudden dark voice, it was Kenta’s but for some odd reason, it sounded different and had power in it.

“The Queen Kaiju” Hiro yelled.

“It’s taking over again!”

Before they could act his Kaiju hand expand but they quickly missed the hit, drawing backward.

“You feel it don’t you… her power”, this time it was Kenta speaking.

They sweated at the sick way he talked.

“I hear her voice, her words, amazing” he laughed.

“Hiro,” Ten said with trembling eyes.

“There is no saving him is there?”

Hiro gulps, his teeth then clenched, he wanted to save Kenta too, but Hiro knew he was far too gone, he had sold his soul to the Queen, allowing her to use him as she pleases.

“And she says…” His eyes fell to a door, that said room c.

Hiro gasped, how stupid of him, how could he had forgotten the fact that Yuki was behind that door, he was so clouded with Kenta that he forgot.

“SHE WANTS HER!” he shouts as his expanded Kaiju hard broke through the door.

“STOP!” Hiro shouts.

But it was too late, he grabs Yuki by the throat out of the rubbles. His large claws around her neck, about crushing her windpipe.

“Hi..ro” she struggled but it was futile.

Ten faces were in shock.

“YUKI!” Hiro shouts running but would he be able to get there in time?

Kenta laughs, about closing his claws to crush her neck.

*Smash Sound*

Hiro instantly froze, as his eyes trembled. Ten’s eyes widen as everything went slow.

Yuki’s hand fell to her side, blood dripping on the floor.

Kenta choked, as the blood continuously spilled from his mouth, his shaky eyes fell to his chest, a rod was budging out, more blood spilled as he turned his head behind him.

Behind him was Anzai, with a fierce look.

“G-General A-A-Anzai” he choked on his words.

“That’s enough Kenta,” he said weakly.

The grip on Yuki loosen as she fell.

“Yuki!” Hiro yelled as he quickly caught her in his arms, the force dropping them to the ground.

He took a harsh breath, but then a breath of relief when he senses her aura was still alive, she just fainted.

Kenta’s body slowly went to normal, the forms and everything dispersing, his looks normal, he went on his knees, choking blood.

Anzai fell on his knees in pain, he just woke up and his wounds still hurt, it took everything in his power to free himself from his trap room, thank God he made it in time.

“General Anzai” Ten and Hiro yelled in unison.

Ten rushed to him holding him steady.

“He’s…” Hiro’s eyes trembled.

“Dead?”

Kenta was just on his knees, his head bent downwards, eyes opened weakly as they were about to close, taking slow breaths.

Hiro’s eyes fell sad, he felt it, he felt his aura dying, he wasn’t too far from death.

“W-W-Why” they heard his faint choking voice, his head slowly turned to his side where Hiro was, his weak eyes on him.

“W-W-Why F-Fight?” he asked so faintly that they almost didn’t hear him.

Hiro’s eyes trembled at his words, he had the same question earlier but Hiro didn’t him an answer.

“Because…” Hiro began.

“No matter what humanity has been through, no matter the challenges, we have to keep fighting because there are things still worth it… friends, loved ones, family,” Hiro said reminiscing his parents and then his comrades.

“Yes it hurts…” he began tearily.

“It hurts to be alone and abandoned, it hurt that things die and have to be taken away from you, it hurts so much that you wanna drive to the darkness…”

A tear fell from one of Kenta’s eyes.

“…but when you realize you don’t have to be alone…”

Kenta thought about Kashi who always smiled at him and said they were friends, the image burned away.

“….You can’t completely be alone and there someone, there’s always someone who wanna be there for you, that’s the light, Kenta”
