(Kyosei’s View)

Electricity is one hard and ambitious plan if you ask me and from the nature of the upcoming battle against the behemoth, it would take lots of things to preparation and if we are seriously trying to do that, it would be clear that we won’t be able to do it in a short span of time. However, unlike what Haru said, hope is not lost, instead, we fight despair. Hope is an insidious thing and it is a thing that allowed most humans think that surviving for many days will give them hope in which I doubt will happen soon.

”No, I don’t believe in hope but there is always light that will give us chance to exploit this as our weapon. An all out war is something that cannot be avoided and from what I have seen earlier. Electricity is not the only thing we can use. From what I can remember, explosions can also hurt this guy out but with its fast regeneration, its something that cannot be done easily. If we want to do this, we had to do a lot of explosives like grenades, C4, panzerfaust(1) and rocket launchers. Even large amount of gunpowders would work and bringing the titan Behemoth down would be possible.”

”But our explosives are not enough to cause a massive explosion and the panzerfaust you are saying, they only exist in museums and would barely be usable. But we have a few Panzerfaust 3(2) to use, but their ammunition are also limited. For C4, I don’t think we have enough to cause a massive explosion and for gunpowders, I think we have a few barrels of them but they are also too limited,” Haru said to me.

Then, the door burst out and a lean guy appeared followed by a face I still remember that gave me the first equipment for the apocalypse. It was precisely Kato. But I am not surprised. I just gave out an indifferent reaction to them.

”So you are saying that with explosives we can kill that massive lump of infection over there? Just how sure are you?” The guy looked at me with one of his eyebrows raised.

This guy is buffed with muscles that his kevlar vest seems to be barely covering his muscles. His hair is long and tied in a short ponytail and they are full of grey strands of hair. His face is full of scar and one of his eyes had a deep scar that he looked menacing to me.

”Commander Matsubara! You are back!” Haru stood up and gave a salute to the person.

Wait, Matsubara? Isn’t that the guy who holds the letter of my parents? So he was still alive?

Matsubara looked at me with curiosity and rubbed his beard.

”Have we met somewhere before?” Matsubara looked at me with intrigue.

”No, we don’t but I am sure that you know my parents,” I said to him in informal tone. I had no care about formalities here because I am not a soldier and I hate lapping into someone else just to gain a slight power. Its practically useless.

When he heard me, he looked at me with confusion and he stares at me with incredulous look, trying to know what I am talking about. I sighed and scratched my head. Some people really have limited memory that they can easily forget something else. I grab something in my pocket and quietly flicks it out to show it to him.

”Perhaps this would help jog your memory a bit,” and flicked the photo towards him in which he catches easily.

He looked at the photo and his hands shook when he saw what is in the photo. He looked at me and back to the photo. I did not react or anything, just stayed looking bored to him and stayed my stare style to him.

”You... you are the son of Kazuya! You are my nephew!” Matsubara knelt into the ground.

”So now you remember, uncle. But I don’t really have time for any kind of tearful reunion or whatever it was. I want to finish the business about this and destroy that f*cker out there. I don’t want the lives of my companions get endangered just because of an over weight monster devouring the whole city.” I said to him.

He nodded and looked at me.

”Of course, I know. And I know you can defeat the enemy. You are the remaining hope of humanity left because the true virus of the Galea is currently in your body. You and the other one named Eve will be the only people that will be able to bring the apocalypse to an end.”

Hearning this, I frowned and looked at him with incredulous look. Even Haru and Kato were confused on what is going on.

”If humanity has to survive, your survival and Eve’s survival are the only key that we will be able to return back to our normal lives. The people who can control the virus without being manipulated by the intense hunger will be the people that would bring chaos to an end. And that is what your father is trying to do.”

A/N:

Although this is the arc where the Behemoth is being talked about, the battle is not yet going to occur here yet. Another arc is done. And another arc is going to arrive. The war will soon begin. Next chapter is the beginning of the next arc.
