Chapter 273: Tick Tock!

"Alright, the controls, the system, everything is set right?" Kazuya asked the two pilots who have been trained the past months for riding this chopper, they gave a nod in response.

"Good," she said, tapping on the comm in her ear. "You other two," she said, talking to the other two pilots in the other chopper. "Yes ma’am, we’re set", exactly the response she needed.

Getting the report she turned to Kiyoshi. "All set and waiting to move out, Kiyoshi-sama"

Kiyoshi gave a nod. "You should retreat and get seated, Kiyoshi-sama," she added.

"Make sure everything is in order, everything should go as planned, one mistake and we’re done," he says before moving out.

"Mm," Kazuya made a sound, nodding. "Ten" she spoke to her comm.

"We are on standby for now" His comm sounds, Ten checked his watch. ’Just 5hrs remaining’ he thought. "Roger that Engr. Kazuya we will be ready in time" he answered back to the comm before it went offline. He took a deep breath before turning to the two massive choppers awaiting launch.

He gulped, this was it, humanity was finally gonna reclaim the surface. His eyes were palpitated just by the thought of it.

"Ten"

He turned to Haya, she had a smile against his lips. "It’s gonna be okay, we will fight this through", at her mere words he felt encouraged, she always had a way of making him feel better.

"Mm," he made a sound, nodding, with a smile.

"Ten!" Ryu yelled, rushing to him. "All the levels have been checked thoroughly, the base is completely empty," he said.

"Good, now we know no one is left behind"

"This is amazing, Ten, Engr. Kazuya made such big choppers with you guys and yet you made it to training, you’re amazing" Ryu said.

"Well we just helped out a little, it was all Engr. Kazuya, she’s wicked" Ten said, chuckling. That woman was a maddening genius when it came to techs, wasn’t even sure he could catch up with her.

"I heard the Strike Team is out already, headed for the Queen Kaiju," Mary said, chipping in.

"Yes, I heard too," Ten said with sad eyes, he really hoped he got the chance to see Hiro and the others.

"You guys are all set?" they turned in the direction of the sound. It was Dr. Touka.

"You should get in Dr. Touka, we’re about to leave soon," Ten said, he noticed her dull looks, he thought for a fact she was gonna follow the strike team.

"Right," she said, biting her lip.

"Dr. Touka, I thought you were gonna be with the strike team," Haya asked.

She shakes her head negatively.

Ryu gulps, Touka forced a smile facing them. "Ten, this mission is in your hands, Anzai did a great thing by doing so, we all depend on you, Ten," she said, placing her hand on his shoulder.

His eyes were trembling at her words, he nodded although his body stuttered, they were all depending on him, would he be really able to do this? They needed a fighting force, not a brain.

"We don’t only need a fighting force but we need you. Ten, you’re smart enough to make decisions that will keep us alive," Touka said as if reading his mind.

"I understand," Ten said with determined eyes. ’Be strong Ten... be strong, they depend on you’ he thought.

Ten straddled his Hellhound, Haya climbing behind him, Ten set the blood weapon he wore on his hand which was his black gauntlet.

Mary straddled hers, Yumi behind. Daiki, Ryu, Saho, Homura, Sakura, Usagi, Kaname, Himari, and Fuijo all straddled their Hellhound individually.

Homura’s body shook where he was but he tried to remain calm and collective. Daiki did too, sweating vigorously, his eyes moved to the gun around his waist, he would have to make do with this and be useful for once, everyone was basically grasping straw right now and preparing for the worst, he HAS to too, he gulps.

"We’re ready," Ten said with stern eyes.

The Choppers made an automatic startup sound, the level they rested on began moving, the top space cleared up as the level moved up at a collective speed.

The top finally opened to the bunker, it spread open as the sunlight shimmered in. The ground parted and shook like an earthquake was about to happen as the level fully emerged outside.

The chopper went on making loud noise, before fully launching on the air, the Bio-genetics picked up too as they drove the same speed as the choppers above them.

’Even with all the work, we couldn’t make the acceleration of the choppers fast under 7 seven months’ Ten thought keeping his eyes on the road. ’This is as fast as we can go’, his grip tightened on the throttles. ’We will have to make do’

"INCOMING!"

Ten froze at the sudden outburst, his eyes then caught the wave of Kaijus coming in speed. ’That fast!’ Ten though in panic, it was almost like they were waiting for them, His teeth clenched hard, these things never give up, the Queen Kaiju was hell-bent on destroying them. ’Only Kaijus’ he thought not seeing any Alpha’s or Were-Alpha’s so they were good. One move will take them out.

"ATTACK!" Ten shouts.

The bio-genetics launched forward as they clashed with the Kaijus in a heated battle.

"I’m going off Ten!" Haya announced, Ten gave a nod. Haya stood on the bike still on movement, her white headset beamed the brightest red as she centered all her energy on it, spiderweb energy swirled around her, her eyes changed to her bio-genetics ones, The iris color changed to bright crystal blue like a diamond of mixed shade of light and dark with a hint of red lines in it, forming a crack moving around, the pupil darkens more and extended.

The spiderweb red energy enabled her to float.

"I only have 10 minutes," she said, going up in the air, before the thousands of Kaiju, slamming her palms together before releasing a chaotic energy surge.
