The nightmare at the Training Facility and the Mansion ended, but more potential problems were out there, S.T.A.R.S. knew that, and they felt the need to spread the news.
Silver, Blaze, Rob O' and Mina explained the incident that happened at the Mansion, they told them about Shadow, Maria and Mephiles, Mina even told them that she and Knuckles had to deal with Finitevus and his leeches.
Police Chief Elias Irons didn't pay any mind to this, no one else in the RPD believed them as well, despite the protests.
Silver and the others did what they felt they should do, go after Umbrella themselves
Due to the disbanding of S.T.A.R.S., Elias Irons created the S.P.F. (Select Police Force) to replace them.
Two months passed by, an accident in an Umbrella lab caused a major accident, one scientist mutated and killed various soldiers, while the T-Virus spilled and was carried by rats. How this happened is for another story, for now we move on to a different story, how the whole outbreak started.
'It was a typical night at J's bar. Some uninvited guests crashed the party. Our race for survival was just beginning'~Sally Lennox.
It was a quiet day in a bar located in Raccoon City.
People were in the bar, minding their own business, barely paying attention to a T.V. regarding a disturbance at a baseball game.
An RPD officer named Sonic Ryman who was part of the S.P.F. was sitting by the table, taking a sip of beer while taking a notice to a hot waitress.
A plumber named Espio King was simply sitting there holding his beer and drinking it in a non-caring.
A subway staff guy named Ash Chapman was sitting on a table, doing a crossword puzzle, doing quite well at it.
A doctor named Mighty Hamilton was sitting there, holding his head as if he had a minor headache.
A reporter named Amy Ashcroft was on her laptop typing up a scoop, briefly seeing the T.V. but then turning away believing it was probably a BS report.
A college student named Tikal Suzuki was cutting her hair in the ladies bathroom, checking herself out n the mirror to make sure she looked good.
The bar Waitress Sally Lennox was simply cleaning a platter getting ready to serve beer to the bar attendants, also paying mind to the T.V. a bit interested by what the report was saying.
A security guard known as Rotor Wilkins was simply sitting there, eating a meal.
As Sally passed by the bar area, a rat scurried by her feet which started her and caused her to drop the beer bottles.
Rotor turned around to see what happened, Sally merely chuckled in embarrassment when Rotor saw her, he then shrugged and resumed his meal.
Rotor turned to his partner Sleuth.
"Aren't you eating anything?" Rotor asked, his partner was simply sitting there with his face down and Rotor shook him, "Hey, Sleuth. where's your mind at?"
Sleuth rose up as if he was waking up, "What?"
The door then opened up and a very pale customer came in.
"That guy needs some sun", Sonic said.
"Who is that guy?" Rotor asked, then Sleuth fell on the floor, "Dammit! He's unconscious", Rotor said and checked on him, "Are you alright?"
The customer entered more and attacked one of the waiters.
"Oh my God!" Sally said and fell back when backing up.
Sonic grabbed his gun and aimed at the guy, "Ok freeze!" he demanded.
The guy ignored his threat and approached Sonic.
"I said freeze!" Sonic said, at this time Espio went to the bathroom.
The customer got closer, Sonic backed up a bit and had his gun aimed, "Hey pal, I'm gonna shoot you if you don't back the hell away!" Sonic said.
The guy was about to bite Sonic but he was shot in the head.
Sonic turned around to see Espio with a gun, "Next time just shoot, he doesn't appear to be normal", Espio said.
"Hey you can't just...", Sonic was saying but more guys started coming in.
Rotor grabbed his gun, "Get back!" he said and shot them out the door, then rushed in to close it and lock it, then pushed some barrels in front of the door.
"What the hell is going on!?" Ash asked.
"These people are acting like zombies", Sally said.
Sonic looked shocked at that statement.
"My God, they were right", Sonic said.
"What?" Espio asked.
Sonic shook his head, "Never mind, lets just get the hell out of this place before more show up", Sonic said and ran to a nearby door and opened it, "Let's go!" Sonic said.
Everyone went through the door, Rotor had to assist Sleuth through as well.
They all went upstairs and were at the top floor where the employees go.
"What's going on, why are these people acting like this?" Amy asked.
"It's really creeping me out man!" Ash said.
"Are any of you familiar with the story told by the S.T.A.R.S. regarding the mansion incident from two months ago?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, that was one of the biggest scoops in history", Amy said.
"Apparently they weren't bullshitting us, cause we didn't listen this whole town looks like it's gonna be infected, for all we know we're the only ones alive", Sonic said.
"I'm sure there are other survivors, but we need to focus on escaping ourselves, we need to work as a team", Mighty said.
"Fine, lets start by leaving this bar", Espio said.
"Well we can't ho out the front door, those things are there", Rotor said.
"Lets ask her", Espio said and pointed to Sally.
"Me?" Sally asked.
"You work here, do you know of another way out of here?" Espio asked.
"There should be, we can try to escape through the roof", Sally said.
"Lead the way then", Espio said.
"First, lets barricade this hallway", Sally said and grabbed some wood and a nail gun.
She and Espio barricaded the door while Rotor checked on Sleuth.
"Hang in there friend", Rotor said.
Sleuth looked really sick and pale.
After the door barricaded, they proceeded to the liquor room in the cellar.
"Holy crap, there's enough liquor to last a lifetime", Sonic said.
"Focus, lets move on out of here", Espio said.
"Lets take the hallway to the roof", Sally said.
They all ran and turned the corner, but their exit was blocked by a shutter.
"Oh no", Sally said, she shook it but it wouldn't budge, "It's locked from the other side".
"Shit, what do we do now!?" Espio asked.
Ash noticed the crane and the boxes, then the ladder up there and the vent.
"If we can lift up that crane, we should be able to crawl out through that vent and try to open this from the other side", Ash said.
"Good plan, but there's no keys", Mighty said.
"Sally, do you know where the keys are?" Amy asked.
"The bosses room, but it's back down there, what if those monsters come?" Sally asked.
"We'll have to risk it, I'll go, any one else wanna join me?" Sonic asked.
"I'll go", Rotor said.
"Me too", Espio said.
"Ok, anyone here know how to use a gun?" Sonic asked.
"I can", Amy said, so Sonic tossed her a gun.
"Use that for protection, I'll use my trusty .45", Sonic said, twirling his .45, "Lets go boys", Sonic said.
"Watch over Sleuth", Rotor said.
"Will do", Amy said, and took a glance at the sick Sleuth.
They all went back downstairs and they saw the zombies banging on the planks.
"Looks like they busted the door anyway", Sonic said.
"And the windows too probably", Espio said.
The trio barged into the Owner's room and searched around for the key.
"Shit, where is it?" Rotor asked.
Sonic checked some drawers and managed to find the keys and a gun.
Sonic whistled, "Rock and Roll, a Magnum Revolver".
Sonic took the gun, some ammo for it and the keys.
"Pretty old looking gun", Espio said.
"I got the keys, lets go", Sonic said.
They left the room but the zombies already broke the door and they advanced toward the duo, with some heading upstairs.
Sonic aimed his gun at their heads, "Bye-bye", he shot three perfect shots to their head.
"Nice shooting", Espio said.
"Of course, I'm one of the best RPD has to offer just like Silver Redfield and my old bro Manic Speyer, may he rest in piece", Sonic said.
"Arrogant young punk", Rotor said and shoot some other zombies to clear the way for the two.
Back upstairs, Amy is shooting all the incoming zombies.
"What's taking them so long..........what are you doing!?" Amy asked Ash, who was climbing up a ladder.
"Just gonna wait here until the guys come back and I can crawl in faster", Ash said.
"Wait, why you?" Amy asked.
"Cause it was my idea", Ash said.
Amy rolled her eyes and kept shooting the zombies.
One zombie was left and Amy aimed her gun carefully, "See you around sucker", she was about to shoot but the zombie was shot from another bullet, "What the hell?"
Espio came around the corner twirling his gun, "I got it".
Sonic gave the Revolver to Sally, "Someone pretty as you needs a hot gun to protect herself", Sonic said and winked, causing Sally to blush and Amy to look a little jealous/disgusted.
Sonic activated the forklift and the boxes went up.
"I'll unlock the gate", Ash said.
"You better come back or I'll come after you myself and slice you like an apple!" Espio threatened.
"I'm not that crazy dude!" Ash said and went through the vent.
Espio, Amy, Rotor and Sonic shot at the zombies, Sally was a little nervous but aimed and fired, blowing a zombies head open, but Sally nearly vomited at the sight, the others didn't take so kindly to it either.
"That's kinda gross but affective", Sonic said.
Ash got to the other side and ran to the gate and unlocked it.
"He actually came through for us", Espio said.
The gate opened and the survivors went through and went up the stairs to the attic and took the door to the roof with Rotor holding on to Sleuth, where they heard what sounded like a female screaming.
"Jesus!" Mighty said.
"Sounded like it came from afar", Espio said.
The group searched the roof to see any way down.
Meanwhile Rotor is checking on Sleuth who has gotten weaker.
"I can't move anymore, I know me and......I'm not gonna be someone else's.....burden", Sleuth said and grabbed his gun and started holding to his own head.
"Sleuth stop!" Rotor said, putting the gun down.
"No, you don't understand Rotor, I'm....no different than them, I feel the hunger...........so please, let me die while my conscious remains", Sleuth said as he yanked the gun away and shot himself in the head.
This caught everyone's attention and Rotor was shocked in disbelief.
"Oh Sleuth.........SLEUTH!" Rotor shouted.
The other survivors were pretty sad from what happened to Sleuth.
"Rotor............I'm sorry about your loss", Espio said.
Rotor simply stood up.
"I've experienced the cold taste of war.........I'm used to seeing allies die.........but it never makes the pain any easier to deal with", Rotor said and walked off.
Ash picked up the gun Sleuth had.
"Sorry man, but I'll be needing this more than you now, rest in peace brother", Ash said and walked with the rest of the group.
"What the hell are we gonna do now?" Sonic asked.
Espio turned to Tikal.
"You've been really quiet since this whole thing started, do you have anything you wanna say?" Espio asked.
Tikal shook her head no, not saying a word right away.
"We can probably get out by jumping to the other building and exiting from there, can't guarantee there won't be any zombie motherfuckers", Ash said.
"We'll have to take the chance", Espio said.
They broke down the fence and ran along the walkway.
"Ok, who jumps first?" Espio said.
"Ladies first", Sonic said.
"No way, I'm not jumping unless there's someone on the other side to make sure I don't fall", Amy said.
"Sonic maybe you should go first and keep the path straight", Sally said.
"Fine, stand back", Sonic said and made the leap, "Ok, I'm here whenever you're all ready", Sonic said.
First Sally jumped and Sonic assisted her on the ledge, then Amy made the jump with help, then Tikal, followed by Jim, then Espio, then Mighty and finally Rotor.
"That's everyone, lets go", Sonic said.
They all went though the door and called some elevators.
"Two on each", Sonic said.
One door opened and Espio went in with Mighty, Tikal and Amy, and they went down the elevator.
"Come on, what's taking so long? Piece of crap", Sonic said.
The Elevator finally arrived and the group was gonna get in but a zombie popped out.
"Oh shit!" Sonic said and elbowed the creature back and Rotor shot it in the face.
They went inside the elevator and went down to the first floor and met up with the first 4 down.
"Lets keep moving", Sonic said and they all went outside where they witnessed cops being slaughtered by zombies, much to Sonic's horror.
"This is awful", Sally said.
They saw a police man shooting some zombies with a shotgun.
"Augustus!" Sonic said.
Augustus turned around, "You startled me, I'm surprised you're still alive, the whole city's a warzone, we need all the help we can get, now move the police car over there to build a barricade, now!" Augustus said.
Sonic and Rotor ran to the car and started pushing it toward the other cars to block some of the zombies.
"Almost there", Sonic said.
Some zombies already passed the point but they were shot by Augustus and Espio.
The two made the barricade and it slowed down the zombies, but it didn't stop them.
Augustus told everyone to move to the other side of a gate and he closed and locked it.
"Oh God, they're getting closer, we gotta go, now!" he said.
He ran to the other side of the area to open the door but it was locked, so he shot the door and opened it with the others reaching the accessed area, but it was a dead end, a canal with a gas truck and some water on the side.
"We're trapped!" Sally said.
The zombies started coming in.
"Shit!" Augustus said and shot some of the zombies, "Hey listen, you should go now!" he said and then noticed a valve on the truck, but this distraction cost him and a zombie leapt on him and he tried pushing it away as the zombie was trying to bite him, "That's a fuel tank, leak the gas, use it to burn these bastards, do it! Do it now!" Augustus said then was bitten by the zombie and more piled on him and feasted on him.
"NO! DAMN IT!" Sonic said.
"Sonic, I'm sorry about your loss but you need to fulfil his request", Mighty said.
Sonic pulled himself together, "Right, Espio grab the lighter, Rotor shoot them, I'll open the valve", Sonic said.
Espio ran in with Rotor's cover and grabbed the lighter and also Augustus' shotgun and tossed it to Mighty, "Here you go doc", Rotor said.
"Thanks, I guess", Mighty said and shot the zombies as well.
Sonic opened the valve, and Espio ran to them but slipped on the gas and dropped the lighter near Amy's feet.
"Oops, sorry", Sonic said, much to Espio's annoying chagrin.
"Espio, move out the hell out the way, quickly", Amy said, picking up the lighter.
Espio dodged out of the way as Amy tossed the lighter and burned all the zombies.
"Burn you fuckers!" Amy shouted.
The fire started heading toward the gas truck.
"Oh shit! That gas truck's gonna explode from the fire!" Ash said.
Everyone saw that and jumped into the water before the explosion.
Afterward, they went into a sewer and arrived at the other side.
"Are we alive or dead?" Ash asked.
"This ain't heaven, could it be hell?" Rotor asked.
"We're alive and well, I'm sure of it", Sally said.
"Lets keep moving", Sonic said.
They climbed up a ladder and out the sewer and saw a police man with a van and some pedestrians, the police man told everyone the van will take them to safety.
They all went to the van with the other pedestrians and the police man started driving them to safety.
"We're gonna make it", Sally said.
"Thank God", Tikal said.
"Whoa, she finally speaks, nice voice too", Ash said, raising his eyebrows.
"Shut up man", Sonic said, rolling his eyes.
"What a dick", Ash said under his breathe.
The van eventually stopped due to a police barricade and evacuated everyone out of van.
"Are you fucking serious man!?" Ash shouted.
"They stopped cause of a fucking barricade this thing can just run over?" Espio asked.
"There's probably a good reason, but yes this does suck", Sally said.
"Lets just keep moving", Sonic said and led the group up a valley way and across a small bridge.
As they were crossing, Espio looked to the side.
"Ugh, what a mess", Espio said.
Everyone looked to the side and saw a bunch of zombies blocked by a police barricade as some cops tried to arm a bomb, however the zombies broke through the barricade and killed the cops.
"No....no, it can't be......So many", Sally said.
"Ok, we're fucked, I'm going back to the van where it's safer", Ash said and ran off.
"I'll go with him", Tikal said and left as well.
"Should we go as well?" Sally asked.
"No, we need to take out all the zombies", Sonic said.
"How?" Rotor asked.
"We should set off those bombs and blow these guys to hell, should be a snap", Sonic said.
"Yeah, totally easy", Espio said, rolling his eyes.
"Will that even work well?" Mighty asked.
"What do you wanna do? Call Michael Jackson and have him dance with the zombies out the city? Though that would be cool" Sonic stated.
Everyone rolled their eyes at the comment but decided the original plan at least could happen.
The group ran down to the street and saw all the zombies, it was a whole parade of zombies.
"Holy shit!" Amy said.
"Espio, you put the bomb together, everyone else will cover you", Sonic said.
They all shot at the zombies while Espio grabbed the bomb pieces and put them together.
"Hurry, we're running low on ammo!" Amy said while still shooting.
David assembled the pieces and the bomb was ready.
"Got it!" Espio said, but was then grabbed by some zombies and dropped the detonator.
"Oh shit, get off me!" Espio said.
The zombies were shot off from a handgun.
"Thanks Amy", Espio said.
"It wasn't me", Amy said.
"Rotor?" Espio asked.
"Not me Espio", Rotor said.
"It was me man", Ash said, standing near the edge with Tikal.
"So you came back", Sonic said.
"I didn't wanna, believe me, I just did and I don't know why", Ash said.
"Cause you know you love us", Sonic joked.
"Oh shut the fuck up man", Ash said.
"Can we talk about this later and deal with THE ZOMBIES!" Mighty said.
"I got it!" Sally said, then she grabbed the detonator and activated it, then the street blew up, with the zombies joining them.
"We did it!" Sally said.
Ash fell to the ground and shot his arms and legs into the air, "Whoo!"
"I'm getting to old for this", Rotor said.
Everyone managed to get back to the van where the policeman found another path to take to attempt the escape the city.
Sally was shocked by this ordeal, and even had a lot to think about,'Who could ever have imagined such a day like this could come, with all of the tragedies surrounding us I felt insignificant, it's different now, I believe I will survive, I'm scared but I have to keep going'.
The van drove off into the unknown.
Meanwhile the government sent the army to deal with the situation, starting by putting a blockade around the city to keep anything or anyone from getting in......or out.
