Individuals. Part 1

Yas open his eyes and looked at the photos of his parents, he clean the tears from his eyes and turn off the incense, he got up to went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water but the entire room was in the darkness, Yasu saw his watch and this was glowing in red, he pressed and saw an incoming message, he took out his phone and read it in the crystal and the moment he read it, he went out and saw the entire building in black, he knocked at the door of Ren and at the moment it opened he entered as fast as he could.

—Are you ok? —said Yasu

—What are you still here!? —Ren said.

—I just wake up.

—Are you serious?... I'm okay Yasu, go.

—Don't leave this room.

—Yeah, yeah, go. I'll be fine.

Yasu hesitated a bit and went downstairs, the message for him was simple:

“To all unities, we have come across an emergency lockdown, all members of IFED should report immediately to their headquarters as fast as you can, we are about to experience the invasion of creatures from the outside, repeat the protocols and stick to it until you secure the entire fort, good luck to all of you” Message received 6 hours ago.

He went downstairs until he reached the main lobby of the building, there was a ton of soldiers mounting guard and as he was approaching one of them stopped him.

—You can be here, young man, return to your apartment.

He stood still and took out a pin with the collector's emblem.

—Sorry, glad to have another comrade with us.

The guard apologized to Yasu and held him by the arm.

—What's the situation? —Yasu asked.

Some of the guards gave him a pistol and a combat rifle and some protection for arms, chest, legs and a helmet.

—The Gimigas, Grancos, and Colanas pierce into the dome and some of them enter with the fighters —the guard said.

—Do you have a vehicle? I need to reach the collector's building, my equipment is there —Yasu said.

—We have some motorcycles and cars, but it is dangerous outside.

—I'll manage, give the ones for the motorcycle, if I make it to the collector’s building we can eradicate these creatures easily.

—I hope you are right, here.

The guard give Yasu the keys for a motorcycle and he stood in front of the doors.

—Where's the motorcycle? —Yasu asked.

—Press the button and you will know, although it would attract some of the creatures.

—That's fine, I will reach it.

—Once outside, we cannot let you go back, you understand?

—Yes, best of luck for you all, guards

—Same for you, collector.

The guards and Yasu held their first in the air and once it went down, they opened the door, he ran and pressed the button, the motorcycle wasn't that far away. A lot of creatures were in the streets, there were three main types of those, the Gimigas, if I had to put in the words of the pre-nuclear times, these were giant ants, once were dedicated to attack and others to protect, depending on the form of its head, the others were the Grancos, fly looking insects with big sloppy mouths, the liquid they secrete is not only toxic but corrosive, and finally the Colanas, these were spider looking creatures, big legs, tons of eyes, and a big belly, they are to fear, while some of them are not as dangerous alone they tend it not to be and they attack on groups, they often fight for territory, but in some situations like these they form an alliance to eat as much people as they can.

He ran to the motorcycle while some of the Grimigas noticed him, he kept on running and shot at it, but a Grimiga with a plane head come and block the bullet, Yasu jumped at the motorcycle while they were running towards him and start it. At the moment he accelerated one of the Grimigas clang their fangs and Yasu took out his gun while holding the handle, keeping it as fast as he could manage. The creatures were trying to pierce into the buildings and some of them were trying to catch Yasu, all the sounds that they made were annoying, the buzz, the multiple hits in the ground, they all were gross.

A Granaco put itself in front of Yasu’s sight and he shot at it, the Granaco dodge it and did that with the multiple shots, he turned the motorcycle to change of lane and then he saw at the rearview how a lot of Grimigas were coming after him, he took out the combat rifle and hold himself tight, as he took his hands out of the handles and aimed at the front, he shot two times and hit the Granaco that was following him, the Granaco's body fall in the ground and he accelerated once more, making the motorcycle go up for a bit and then fall.

There was still time to reach the collector's building, but it was easy to navigate across the city thanks to the lack of vehicles, everything was going fine until a thin web and a Colana at the side were waiting for him, with the speed and force of the motorcycle he pass across but the web was around of the motorcycle and Yasu’s body, making not only his body sticky but making the motorcycle lose speed until it was completely stopped, he ran as he was removing the web from his body and took out the combat rifle.

—I should have asked for more bullets...

He ran towards the buildings and went between them, at that moment he saw some smaller versions of the creatures, Yasu hide himself and look at the watch with the location of the collector’s building, there were about two hours walking still to reach the collector's building, the attackers would be at the entrance with the defenders but inside the collector's would manage, to do it but there wasn’t any to be seen.

Yasu hold his gun and run hoping he didn’t see any of the creatures but that wasn’t the case at all, the moment he got out the creatures were gathering around Yasu, he shot at them, but they would fly dodging the bullet, or cover themselves with the ants, the three types of creatures were coming around him and he was just shooting until the bullets of all his weapons went out.

He held the rifle by the barrel and went against the first creature that was in his range, a Gimiga, he hit it and part of its skin went flying across the floor, this one only clanks their fangs and started to approach at Yasu, he held the rifle ones again but it got crushed by the Gimiga’s fang.

He prepared his fist shaking a bit and preparing for the worst, but just when he was about to fight against it, a sound made everyone look at the direction of the source, it was a van where it hit the creatures that were in front of Yasu, killing a ton of them in a matter of seconds, leaving only the head of the Gimiga that was in front of Yasu.

Yasu stepped on the Gimiga’s heat, making all their insides explode across his suit. From the van Sakura, Ryu opened the door from behind, they pointed out the van and Yasu ran to the inside as Midori was driving.

—Thanks —Yasu said.

Midori nodded and Ryu and Sakura went to the back while Amano was on the co-pilot seat.

—Kaminari told everyone to search for all of our teams, the watches had a GPS integrated but your signal wasn’t in any site to be found until recently, where were you? —Sakura said.

—That doesn’t matter, where are the others? —Yasu said.

—We are trying to reach the others, they are in some part of the city, and the majority of collectors are in the deeps —Ryu said.

Sakura gave Yasu two cases, one of them contained a more well-made armor than the guards, the same that they were wearing, it was different from the ones that we use on the deeps, since this were thicker and with not apertures, and in the other case was Yasu’s staff, Yasu opened the part where the elemental stone goes but it was empty.

—Are we okay with just the weapons?

—These creatures shouldn’t require even our second maneuvers of weapons, that’s why we didn’t ask for some of them.

—Kaminari insisted but I’m getting tired of that guy… —Midori said.

Yasu wore the armor and held his staff on his back. He made sure everything was completely locked and then looked at the watch.

—The next one should be Marin, we should reach her in a matter of two minutes, Midori, make sure to make the van sound again.

—I know, I know

They accelerated more, the next mission was getting all the 432nd squad together.
