Resident Evil Rebel Creation Zero.
I do not own anything to do with Resident Evil (Legal wise)
Chapter 1 The Girl.
The weather was shitty, but that was the least of Officer Chamber's problems, Bravo team's helicopter had crashed only minutes earlier and now she was standing before what looked like an incredibly fancy yet vacant train. Rebecca pushed her radio transmitter receiving nothing but static.
"Just my luck…"
Rebecca decided that the train, egotistically named the Ecliptic Express would be worth exploring, especially if this William Coen was on board. Once on-board Rebecca's strong sense of bravery got knocked down a few pegs, she was attempting to capture an escaped convict who had a vast amount of experience and probably already knew their playbook of by heart. A clap of thunder lit up the carriage for several seconds, which was more than enough for Rebecca to see the few occupants still in their seats, or what was left of them. Fear grasped at her heart as she slowly took several steps towards the closest body and despite the obviousness that it was a corpse she couldn't help saying.
"Hey are you alright?"
Another clap of thunder followed, this time lighting up the corpse's face, it was covered in slime and lined with small bite marks, as if something had been trying to eat the body. Suddenly Rebecca heard a voice, the noise making her jump, she turned around.
"Hello?"
The voice didn't reply directly but continued talking in a low muffled style. Rebecca went over to its source and crouched low, it was a radio it must have picked up some news broadcast that had just started broadcasting.
"Great next I'll be jumping at ghosts"
Rebecca allowed herself a small chuckle before she distinctly felt something brush the back of her head; she pushed herself as far away as she could and turned around to see the corpse she had previously examined walking towards her arms raised grasping at the air towards her.
"What the…"
Rebecca was shaking in terror she'd seen enough late night movie's to know what the thing before her was, she raised her 9mm S.T.A.R.S berretta painfully aware that she was an awful marksmen. Before Rebecca squeezed the trigger a single shot from across the carriage pierced the abominations skull instantly destroying the brain. Rebecca looked over at her saviour expecting another member of S.T.A.R.S Bravo team, instead standing there was the convict ex lieutenant Coen one handcuff still hanging vigilantly by his wrist whilst inches away was the smoking barrel of a Colt M1911A1.
"Hey girly what's someone like you doing here?"
Rebecca stuttered in an attempt to answer until she pointed her 9 mil at the convict.
"Ex Lieutenant William Coen you're under arrest!"
Convict Coen looked un-amused.
"A thanks, would be nice and call me Billy, William never suited me"
Rebecca's mouth fell open unable to grasp the full picture of what had just occurred. Whilst in the process of coming up with a retort, Billy made his way over to her.
"S.T.A.R.S huh, well princess you'll have to excuse me but I don't fancy getting the frying chair just yet, I'm not too fond of being eaten by these things ether"
To emphasise his last comment Billy nudged the head of the recently re killed corpse. Suddenly the lights above them flickered into life, just as the carriage started to move the engine powering up. The two looked around, groans coming from the other side of the carriage. Rebecca shivered in fear, her eye's growing wide, whilst Billy retook his firing stance, took aim and squeezed off two rounds each a perfect bull's eye.
"You're lucky you got me around princess"
Billy stepped towards Rebecca who was still collapsed on the floor, before suddenly he got jumped by one of the undead; it pushed him to the floor trying to bite at his face. Billy's gun was just out of reach and the thing showed no signs that it wanted to stop for a chat. Billy had almost resigned himself that he was finished before he saw the barrel of a 9 mm touch the zombies head and fire. The blast was especially gory, bone and brain matter flying everywhere, Billy pushed the body as far as he could before turning to Rebecca.
"Hey thanks princess"
He saw she was shaking the blood and brain matter had covered most of her hands along with some of her face, she was obviously in shock, blowing up someone's head for the first time tends to have that effect on people, Billy's internal monologue managed to say at least she's not vomiting before the contents of her stomach made their way out onto the carriage floor before he corrected himself with Fuck it.
"Come on girly"
Billy lifted Rebecca to the nearest and cleanest seat before continuing there cut off conversation.
"Well it looks like it would be better if we stick together ok?"
After a long pause Rebecca finally nodded her approval, painfully aware that she had been saved at least three times in the last ten minutes. Rebecca suddenly stood up to her full height which was still a good few inches shorter than Billy.
"The names Rebecca Chamber's, that's Officer Chamber's to you"
Billy allowed Rebecca her sense of professionalism before muttering.
"After you princess"
Rebecca gave Billy a dark sinister glare which almost made him laugh.
"And don't call me princess!"
Suddenly the two heard a scream from the next carriage, Rebecca's sense of justice launching her in the direction it had come from, Billy only inches behind her. Upon entering the next carriage the two were confronted with two rooms they took a quick glance in them receiving a couple of clips for their handguns, before leaving the second room Rebecca saw an old typewriter just sitting at a desk.
"Fat lot of good that would do, well I guess you could throw it at them"
The two followed the carriage till they came to a larger room, a large metallic name tag saying Conductor's Office. Another scream rang through the carriage from inside the room, the two charged inside, suddenly freezing in a combination of shock and confusion. There was a girl crouched in the fetal position surrounded by hundreds of giant leech like creature's that were making a perfect circle with a roughly 3 feet radius around her. Billy muttered under his breath so that Rebecca could only just hear.
"What the fuck…"
Rebecca saw the teeth that the leeches had.
"These must be what caused those bit marks on the other bodies"
Rebecca gasped in surprise as a particularly large leech dropped from ceiling landing only inches from the girl on the floor. The leech screamed in pain as the girl lifted her head slightly, the look in her eyes filled with a savage monstrous energy, the leech screamed in agony as it scrunched itself into a ball in an attempt at self-defence, this failed and with one final scream the leech burst.
Suddenly the two heard singing from outside; the leeches reacted as a hive mind all escaping through the broken window and out of sight. The two took a good look out the window seeing a youngish male in a white robe attracting the leeches towards him. As quickly as the man appeared another flash of lightning and the man disappeared. Rebecca turned to the girl pulling her hands so that she could see her face.
"Hey girly, you ok?"
The girl looked up at Rebecca, her eye's still holding their savagery, and the look was enough to make Billy's hand flinch over his gun. Rebecca didn't show any trace of fear, she ran her hands through the girl's hair and brought her head down to her own.
"Hey everything's gunna be fine ok"
Tears had already started streaking down the girls face as she pushed her head into Rebecca's chest, she cried for a good ten minutes before she finally looked back up, her eye's had changed to a unusually bright blue colour, but the savagery that was previously in them was gone.
"My name's Erika"
Erika was clinging to Rebecca's arm looking like a child clinging to her mother. Rebecca spoke with a clear, gentle voice.
"My name's Rebecca and the scary man over there"
Rebecca pointed at Billy who looked fairly irritated at being called the scary man.
"His name is Billy"
Erika smiled at Billy.
"He's not that scary, there are much scarier things in this world"
Rebecca stood up, Erika still clinging to her as she pushed a button on the side of the room. Almost instantly to the left a ladder shot down from the ceiling as Billy commented.
"Looks like we're going up"
