Akako and Reina were searching for the masked man for an hour. But then they heard the sound of water hitting the shore line and ran to the location. They saw an extremely large gastrea emerge from the water and it had several limbs and eyes. Rentaro and Enju seemed to have already encountered the masked man since they were there. The masked man was standing in front of the beast and Akako and the others seemed surprised. Akako spoke "it's a stage five! How'd that guy summon it". the group stared at it in hopeless wonder.

At a conference the doctor was on a screen and some man in the room spoke "we're doomed… we're all going to die" the doctor responded "not exactly" she sent a diagram on the computer screens of all the people inside. It was labeled 'S06C167-09 – human DNA experiment' and the same man spoke "this is Dr. Hagane's failed hybrid DNA experiment. What is so special about it" the doctor smirked "not failed… do you see the left eye of that man in the news video" the doctor displayed a picture that was taken on the interview with Akako. the man took a closer look and noticed the left eyes strange complexity; he asked "are you implying this man is a successful test subject hidden from us by that scientist" the doctor put on a calm facial expression and responded "this man is indeed, he is Akako Hagane the only son of Doctor Hagane! And the only one who was successfully combined" the man jumped to his feet and yelled "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE". The doctor spoke "he has a genetic disease known as Albinism, and because of this, he is the only test subject who was compatible with the genes of the specimen, he alone can stop the stage five by using the genetic abilities he inherited from the specimen". The doctor then placed another detailed diagram it had all the abilities listed. two of which were effective on all gastrea the doctor began reading them off "eye of fear – the ability to cause a gastrea to halt its assault on the user for a given amount of time, eye of manipulation – the ability to control and command a gastrea by imitating its brain impulses through quick iris flashes, only known effects are fatigue and drowsiness, increased speed and jump height, strength – unaltered… intelligence – unaltered, ninety-nine percent immunity to the virus, only effect known – if infection is too intense, can cause cell destruction and possibly death". When they realized the overwhelming power this Akako held, they knew he was actually the only one capable of defeating the gastrea.

Akako looked up and after a second of believed helplessness. He yelled out "Rentaro, Enju do you think that you two could handle the masked dude". Rentaro nodded and Akako spoke afterwards "good, I'm going to try and take out the stage five". Rentaro wasn't going to argue with him and began to charge the masked man and a child that stood beside him. The masked man spoke "do you really believe that a normal human being can combat something so powerful" Rentaro spoke "that same 'human' jumped from a hundred and ten meters in the air and came out completely fine. The masked man spoke "he must be like you and I then, either way he still doesn't have enough power to defeat a stage five".

Akako spoke "rina run forward and distract it". Reina did so because she knew her brother had a plan. She was attacked and she jumped over the large limb. She climbed up the large limb and tried to be a nuisance. Akako listened to the conversation as he ran forward at an extreme pace, he ran faster than any cursed child could run. The wind produced was at the level of a category three hurricane. The only visible thing was the dust where his feet met the ground with such tremendous power. The beast extended one of its outer limbs and Akako jumped towards it. The creature's hand engulfed Akakos body as he spun around and created a kicking position. His momentum was so intense his kick caused the hand to completely explode. He back flipped off the remains and landed feet first on the ground. The masked man realized he couldn't be like them and became distracted for a few seconds. Akako then shot the broken limb with his lever action weapons but the bullets had no he was pondering of another way to attack the beast he saw that his sibling was launched off of it and when she fell to the ground, the gastrea began its attack by extending one of its other limbs to crush Reina. She looked up and it was like she couldn't control her body. She told herself to run but her body was not responding. She looked to Akako helplessly and he took a step; beginning to run to her she closed her eyes and she felt an overwhelming gust of wind.

Akako stood in front of her and recalled two parts of his father's message "Akako… take care of your sister and make sure she's safe at all time… I was happy and proud to call you my son." The memory triggered a reflex and Akako lifted his right hand and passed it in front of his left eye; as his hand passed in front he opened his eye. The eye emitted a bright blue light as he looked directly into the eyes of the Gastrea. The gastrea's limb was mere millimetres away from Akako's face and he lifted his left hand up to his temple by reflex and yelled "GET BACK" the gastrea strangely obeyed his words as Akako's left eye flashed continuously as an extreme fast flickering light. Then the gastrea broke free and it began to approach Akako angrily. The reason for this was because Akako closed his left eye and grabbed Reina to flee from the dangerous location.

Akako put her down and said "I have to finish this alone". He emptied the black magazines from both of his weapons and put in red ones. Reina spoke "you're using the last gift from father aren't you". Akako nodded and said "yes I'm using the high explosive nano rounds" he turned around and began to run toward the gastrea. The masked man and Rentaro were still fighting and Enju was fighting the young girl who accompanied the masked man. Akako was running toward the Gastrea and he saw one of its remaining limbs approach. He climbed on to the limb and shot at the head several times; emptying the cartridges. Akako threw the weapons aside as he approached the head from afar. He began going into an all sprint. As he sprinted he was tearing the flesh off the limb due to his speed and he reached the head in a matter of a few seconds. He let out a tremendous yell as he literally punched a hole into the head of the gastrea; killing it instantly.

After he killed it and it was falling back into the ocean, Akako was free falling to the ground. He hit the ground and Reina ran to his side. Hoping that he wouldn't be dead… and he would survive it. His head turned to the side and he didn't respond to any signals. Reina called out "AKAKO… AKAKO, DON'T DIE, PLEASE… JUST… DON'T…" she lowered her head in sadness and started crying.

…SEVERAL YEARS LATER…

Thoughts of Reina

Ever since he died to save everybody, I never felt so alone, nobody cared and it was as if they had already forgotten about the wonderful caring person who gave his life protecting the Tokyo Area… my brother. Rentaro and Enju visit when they can and I've been discharged and allowed to live in the 'good' part of the Tokyo Area. And also at times it feels like Akako's still alive somewhere… I already know the difference and it is truly… saddening.
