Chapter 15 - Pillars

At the end of this killing spree Kyle was covered in the monster's blood and his own, his hands bloodied from destroying the monster's exo-skeleton. Mass amount of corpses surrounded him as he stood still staring into the distance absentminded.

"Kyle!!" Aiza shouted as she realized he was hurt from the frenzy, she checked his hands and his body looking for injuries, but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was just his hands.

The shocked soldiers quickly awoken from their stupor and raised their weapons at Kyle, vigilant on whether he was a human or another one of these monsters.

"Don't shoot!" Kazuo shouted as he stood in-front of the firing line.

"He's one of us, don't shoot" Kazuo repeated at he tried to block the line of sight from the soldiers,

Seeing the red oozing liquid from Kyle's hand the soldiers nerves eased and lowered their weapons.

Meanwhile Kyle was still staring off in a daydream as he had been transferred into this mysterious space, pillars surrounded him in a circle with a monument in the middle. The monument resembled a phoenix like the one on his back but Kyle couldn't see clearly as his vision was hazy.

Suddenly the monument came alive and screeched shaking the entire space pushing Kyle out and back into his own body.

'What was that?..' Kyle thought as he looked around at all the corpses as the smell of gunpowder still lingering in the air brought him back to reality.

"Ah" Kyle exclaimed as Aiza was curiously touching his knuckles and wiping off the blood with a cloth.

"Oh! Sorry I should be more careful, but, what was that?"

"And earlier, how are you able to do this?" Aiza asked.

"Uhm.." Kyle made a difficult face as he struggled to answer her.

"I can't say, sorry." He said after a while of pondering.

'I definitely can't tell them, I don't know myself what happened or what's going on..'

"Come on, we got to keep moving" Kyle said to Aiza and Kazuo.

Being careful not to step on any of the corpses they continued to transverse towards the city whilst the non-stop firing of gunshots wrung throughout the island as the onslaught of monsters continued.

Occasionally they would come across others trying to make it to the city and they would group up as per human nature they felt safer when in a group.

After an hour of walking they finally made it to the city where the full horrors of this invasion laid upon them.
