December 24th 2012
In the Eastern European republic of Edonia during the civil war within the nation Jake Muller was hired by the Edonian Liberation Army to help take care of the intruding BSAA.
Only moments ago a woman in a blue dress visited the soldiers and provided them all with a supply of syringes and injectors that contain a form of energy booster to increase and improve their performances, or so they were told.
The syringes provided by this blue dressed woman contained the newly developed C-Virus which would mutate them into J'avo or easier recognised as zombies but a completely different form to the stereotypical infected.
Without knowing this they all willingly received the syringes and injectors and began injecting themselves with them but this only seconds later caused them to mutate into what the BSAA referred them to be "J'avo" - J'avo came from the word D'avo which translated to Devil.
Jake Muller separated himself from the rest of the soldiers so he could inject himself and so he went into the next stone cold room which was damaged with gaping holes in the ceiling revealing the clear sky above.
He came in holding an apple in his right hand and the syringe in his left as he whistled a small tune to himself while approaching a damaged pillar which used to hold up the ceiling and he knelled down against it.
As he sits down he looks over at his arm where near the shoulder on his open trench coat he looks at the Edonian Liberation logo just to watch his legs stretch out in front of him while observing his brown laced boots as he placed them down comfortably in front of him.
He placed the red apple down beside him as he brought the syringe up and took a little look at it to observe it for a moment before he chuckled slightly to himself, flipped it around in between his fingers and then brought it around to the back of his neck and without any hesitation he injected the needle into his neck and pressed his thumb down on the plunger to inject himself with the C-Virus.
He flinched slightly as he was injected and then pulled it out immediately after the C-Virus was in his system, then he sat there as he waited to feel an affect while looking at the syringe in his hand.
Meanwhile in the other room the soldiers injecting themselves become in agony as they fall down onto the ground and can feel themselves becoming mutated and all is being witnessed by a small blonde haired woman who was watching from the door at the end of the room.
Without being seen the woman runs across from one side of the door to the other and continues down the corridor while the soldiers struggle to maintain themselves from the virus.
Jake remains where he was previously sitting and one of his comrades runs across in the other corridor just across from him and stops once sighting Jake.
Jake looks over and as he sees his comrade walking over towards him he asks him whether he was feeling any affect from the syringe since he claimed to not feel any difference still.
"Supposed to be some kind of energy booster but..." He throws the empty syringe across the room, "... I don't feel any different".
The comrade continues to approach Jake and he senses something is wrong with him but he continues to remain calm as he continues to have a conversation with him and not receive any reply.
"You know, between me and you..." Jake stops his sentence for a moment as he grasps his apple and slowly stands up from where he had been sitting and continuing to show he was calm he threw his apple up in front of him and caught it again. "I think we should've asked for more money".
The comrade revealed to be a J'avo as it screamed and drawn a knife, swinging it towards Jake and chopping his apple in half right in his grasp as he attempted to attack Jake.
The sun light from the gap in the ceiling revealed the true identity of the J'avo as it's face was consumed with sickening boils and more eyes than the regular human should have as it stood stuck with it's knife becoming trapped within the pillar that Jake was just leaning against.
It struggled in attempt to get it's knife out of the wall and Jake just stood there as he clenched his half chopped apple and said "A lot more", which implied that he already knew that his comrade was a J'avo.
He threw his apple down onto the ground as the J'avo separated his knife from the wall and went for another swing at Jake but Jake anticipated his next move as he grabbed the wielding arm with both hands since the J'avo had incredible strength and he neared himself to the J'avo's face.
"I'm pretty sure this wasn't part of the contract..." He said while looking into the J'avo where it's regular two eyes still were and he then pulled the wielding arm down below waist height and disarmed the knife from his grasp.
Quickly after taking the knife he forced his knee into the J'avo's stomach with his right and then kicked with full force from his left into the J'avo again which sent it hurdling towards the same pillar, only to bounce back into Jake's grasp as he holds it by the mouth and continues to casually speak to the infected.
"...But I'm willing to negotiate".
The J'avo swung at Jake with his right arm but Jake dodged and hit him with right, only to gain space as he began laying into the J'avo with multiple punches from both arms before he kicked it's right leg causing it to fall down onto it's left knee.
The J'avo was still not giving up and went for another swing but was quickly hit back from Jake and in attempt to bite Jake his head was grabbed and he was twisted around Jake as he was thrown across the room against the exact same pillar and before he had chance to fall down Jake forced another kick into it while it remained mid-air on it's side, finishing it off.
"Did you take your dose?" A soft soothing voice asked from across the room, opposite to where the J'avo came through.
The asker soon after came slightly running into the room where she was revealed to be the same woman that witnessed the turning of the soldiers, a blonde haired woman wearing a white thick coat with a furry hood, along with a blue scarf, some long legged pants and boots that went up just under her knees.
"Yeah, but if you want your own hit you gotta sign up with the lady downstairs".
Jake noticed that the woman was checking her watch mid way through his sentence and once he finished answering he looked beside him and noticed that the recently deceased J'avo was disappearing into ashes on the ground.
"Wouldn't recommend it though".
"No question" The woman replied, still focusing on her watch before she decided to look over at Jake "You've got the antibodies". The woman then ran over to a garbage chute on her side of the room and opened it up.
"Thank you very much" He said assuming that what she said was a compliment before realising what she said and then questioning her on it.
"You could be the key to saving this world, Jake Muller".
Jake chuckled at the sound of what he assumed to be a joke before hearing more of the J'avo, recently his comrades, run at the end of the corridor before they noticed the two of them and began making their way over to them.
"Better save myself first" He replied as he ran and jumped through the garbage chute, sending him down a long tunnel.
While he slid down the woman remaining up top began shooting at the incoming J'avo only taking out one as it fell directly in front of the door which caused the rest that were following to tumble over it and then each other, giving her time to escape down the chute herself.
Jake landed in the sewers below on his feet and moved out of the way of the chute and soon after so did the woman only to land on her bottom though as she then slowly stood back up.
"You lose something?"
"Just my balance" She replied as she wiped herself down. "I'm fine".
While Jake turned around to observe the area the woman decided to reach for her badge from her back pocket and announced who she was.
"Sherry Birkin, the United States-"
"Yeah yeah good for you, but now's not the real time" He interrupted as he pointed up to the garbage chute, making a point that the J'avo could follow them down any second so he began walking away from Sherry.
Sherry remained where she was for a moment looking up at the chute while Jake walked away until she was called by him asking whether she was going with him. "After you" She replied.
"Those things up there were J'avo, they're the B.O.W.s the insurgents are using" Sherry began to explain to Jake as they began making their way through the sewers.
"That explains why there's a shit load of BSAA troops here" Jake replied.
"We need to get out of the country without drawing either party's attention".
They shortly found a ladder that lead to higher ground though Sherry offered for her to go first Jake ignored her and climbed up instead, ignoring Sherry's attempt at protecting him since she was the only one with a weapon.
They head through after both got up onto higher ground and at the end of a corridor another set of ladders lead up to the surface and gun shots could be heard firing from above but nevertheless Jake continued to go on ahead.
Once they were both up they arrived inside a building where there were barred windows on the wall at the end of the corridor in front of them where they could see BSAA soldiers began overwhelmed by the J'avo's who were wielding not only knives but guns also and one was being hacked to death right before them.
As they continued down the next corridor a soldier who had fallen through a small gap in the barred window was dragged back out into the battlefield whilst remaining alive until the J'avo got hold of him and he was dragged up onto the roof, dangling as they made eye contact with him before he disappeared above.
"We should get moving" Sherry suggested.
"Good idea".
At the end of the corridor was a door that lead out of the building and into the streets where before them was a fellow comrade of Jake before them facing the opposite way before he was shot down from a BSAA helicopter coming up from behind the buildings surrounding and they tore him apart with a controlled mounted machine gun.
The BSAA then began shooting over at Jake and Sherry and so Jake grabbed Sherry by her waist and pulled her back inside the building, getting her out of harms way as the helicopter continued to spray the building.
"Goddamn BSAA!" He shouted, "What the hell are they shooting at?"
"Everyone in your platoon is one of those J'avo now!"Sherry replied, "And you're dressed just like them". The helicopter flew away after assuming that the two of them got away and continued to shoot at other J'avo swarming the town. "Come on, we have to get out of here!"
The two of them left the building and head further down the street which was surrounded by black destroyed buildings with black smoke filling the air and as they progressed further down the street there seemed to be only one way to go after the way in front of them had been blocked off by a building's remains but the way they were going was filled with gun fire coming from the helicopter once again after they had just killed some J'avo around the corner and then it flew away.
They ran into another building but this was only small as the exit was right before them on the other side but was filled with J'avo shooting at and receiving fire from the BSAA helicopter.
"Man, this looks like the circus. Got any popcorn?" Jake said as they watched the J'avo's minuscule affect on the BSAA as they were being torn apart.
"Stop gawking, we don't have time!" Sherry replied, not taking any consideration into the little joke he made.
"Well I can't exactly do anything!" He argued back, pointing out that he didn't have anything to defend himself, and he was annoyed that she was so serious about his joke.
"Here" She offered him a handgun from her right holster since the weapon she was holding was meant for the left.
"Thanks" He said with another small chuckle as he went outside and saw a J'avo attempting to shoot down the helicopter and he shot it in the back of the head, then killing another that was behind the wall that he didn't see before.
They progressed further through the battlefield which was just the remains of what used to be a small town with houses surrounding and wreckage blocking most of the ways but made a reasonably clear path for them to follow to get out of there.
They jumped further down from where they were into a small trench where J'avo were, not seeing them behind them and just continued to shoot at the helicopter with RPG's and other hand held weapons.
"It's fucking chaos out here!" Jake said as they were able to walk around the J'avo.
"We'll grab some cover. I'm supposed to get you out of here in one piece".
As they entered a nearby building the helicopter quickly turned to them and shot a rocket into the half standing building, hitting the wall behind them and caused Jake to fly forward and fall through the already unstable ground which was poorly made out of planks of wood which separated the two for a moment.
"Jake!" She shouted as she lost sight of him.
"I'm down here!" He called to her from below and she saw him, continue the way we were going I'll meet up with you".
Sherry continued through the remaining wreckage of the building and after Jake made his way up from a stairway below they were reunited again.
They continued together until they saw another building at the end which was only remaining on the side of a cliff like the rest of the town but it was directly on the edge. Having no other choice they jumped down to the same level as the building and approached the door that couldn't easily be opened, so they combined their strength and kicked the door together which sent it flying through inside and they shortly followed it, guns raised.
"Alright, first thing's first" Jake said after shortly securing the perimeter. "I want 200,000 up front and another 200 when this is over. Oh, and B.O.W.s? Those are extra, an additional grand. Each".
"I'm not here to hire you" Sherry replied, approaching him as he looked out the window, "And I don't appreciate your attitude either".
"What?" He asked as she gained his attention after he got the wrong intention. "Why are you here?"
"...Your blood" She awkwardly replied.
He chuckled, "What are you, the Red Cross or something?"
"No, listen those... Things that attacked us, they were all exposed to a new virus called the C-Virus" She explained.
"Uh huh" He replied, giving off the impression that he didn't care as much to Sherry as he looked away around the room.
"The same strain that you just took a dose of..." Sherry said, gaining Jake's attention. "It didn't affect you because you've got the antibodies".
Jake felt his neck where he injected himself earlier and wondered to himself why he wasn't infected and he couldn't process everything that he was being told.
"Right now we're racing against a global bioterrorist attack and we needed a vaccine yesterday... We need you, Jake... We need your blood".
Jake found himself speechless for a moment as he retreated back to the window he was previously looking out of and he considered everything that was going on.
"50 million dollars".
"What?"
"Cash. Non-negotiable. That'll get you one pint".
Sherry stood in silence as she couldn't official agree to any sort of payment without her superiors permission but Jake assumed it to be a yes and he pulled a slight grin as he found two empty magazines on the counter behind him and he placed them in his pockets and exited the door.
The path they had to walk upon was directly against the cliff which lead off with no barriers to keep them safe and it wasn't perfectly stable. Sherry was following Jake until she slipped causing her to nearly fall off the edge until Jake reached out and saved her, pulling her back up immediately by the hand.
"Thanks".
"It's an old army grip, besides, I wouldn't be getting my money if you fell" He replied, claiming that the only thing he cared about was his money, though maybe it was all he cared about.
Further along the path was another small two level building which was swarming with J'avo patrolling around with their hand held machine guns and pistols.
"Looks like they're expecting us. We're gonna have to shoot our way out".
"Agreed, we don't have a choice now" Sherry replied, "Let me go first" She asked as she passed him and began the gun fight with the J'avo.
After killing some of the J'avo they approached further along the jagged path until one came right in front of them and Jake quick drew the enemy, shooting him and startling him leaving him easily exposed for an attack.
Though before they could do anything it began another form of mutation where it's front and back of torso turned into a bone like structure that worked as a form of body armour to gun fire, but dismissing that Sherry decided to launch her foot into his face which pushed him backward and sent him falling off the cliff.
"Impressive" Jake commented.
Sherry looked back at him and smiled slightly at his compliment but quickly hid her face from him as her attitude changed suddenly and she told him that they had to hurry up, so he followed quickly.
After clearing out the two floored building they both noticed a that there was a long jump across to the other side where the path had recently crumbled and while Sherry couldn't see a way for them to get across Jake pointed out that there was a pole sticking out from the side of the building in between the gap.
"I can't jump that!" She said, refusing to even give it a try.
"Okay then we'll have to look for another way to get you across..."
Jake made Sherry follow him as they went down to the lower level of the building and they noticed that there was a broken pair of ladders that lead where the other side of the platform lead so he offered for her to stand on his hand and once she did he launched her up and she climbed up.
Jake then swung across the pole and got onto the same as her and then they had to proceed across onto the next platform which was quite the jump itself.
Jake jumped first but when he landed on the platform it sunk down a little as the barriers that were holding it up were beginning to break so he stopped Sherry before she jumped over.
"Don't jump on here, it's very unstable. You might break it if you jump".
"What are you trying to say?" Sherry asked, placing her hands on her hips as she questioned Jake's sentence, seeming as it could have been hinting towards something else.
"Nothing! I don't mean like... Look there's another set of ladders over there I'll knock them down to you".
Jake turned around and climbed up the ladders to let the other ones down for Sherry and once he did before she was able to get to his level all he had to say was "The trouble with women".
"What was that?" Sherry asked, standing right behind him.
"Nothing, c'mon. Where next?"
Next they had to run along a long and unstable bridge and after Sherry told him they had to cross over she said for him to go first, since he enjoyed going first all the time and so he did, though once he got to the middle of the bridge a plank of wood slipped from it's placement which caused Jake to slip and almost fall though he was able to grab on to the remaining planks.
Sherry quickly grabbed his arm with both hands and helped him up and after saving him and walking ahead of him all she had to say was "The trouble with men", knowing that Jake saw it as she turned back at his smug face and popped a small smile before turning back.
Beyond the bridge was another platform built off the edge of the cliff but this one was more stable and had a small barrier to ensure some safety unlike the last and once they arrived on the platform in the distance they could see a bridge.
The bridge was consumed with black smoke trailing off of it along with gun shots being fired all over it and miniature explosions were going off.
"Looks like the BSAA have got their work cut out for them" Sherry said, knowing that it was just conflict between the BSAA and the J'avo.
"You don't know the half of it. Last I checked my employers had a tank parked on the other side of the river" Said Jake, "The only way the BSAA are leaving that bridge again are in bodybags".
The two began walking away from the sight of the bridge further along the platform which lead into a tunnel inside of the mountain, "No. You're wrong. They're more resilient than you can imagine".
Further inside were more resistance so they continued to fight their way through all the barricades and J'avo that were in stall for them which was all originally set up to fight against the BSAA if they ever made it that far into the mountain.
Once they managed to pass the little resistance they reached another building built half inside and half outside of the mountain and before them were two different ways that they could go, though one of them the platform had broken.
Jake presented his hand for Sherry again as he launched her up onto higher ground though he had no way of getting up there himself but further along the way Sherry found a pole just like before but it standing up on its side. She pushed it over and it fell quite well in between the mountain and the building, she pressed down on it with her foot to test the weight and it was fine.
Sherry travelled further into the building while Jake had to swing along the pole again and ended on the platform that led around the building so he could meet back up with her.
Along the side of the mountain the BSAA helicopter returned and it began firing at Jake so his only option was to run as fast as he could along the platform while the bullets were hitting the wall and floor behind him and ricochets were pinging off the mountain.
"Ah what the hell. I'm not one of those 'roided freaks, you morons!" He shouted at the helicopter as he continued to run.
Along his way the helicopter decided to launch a missile at the platform that Jake was seconds away from landing on and so when he did the platform broke and began slanted on one side, causing him to nearly fall before he was able to grab onto the surface and maintain himself.
While he struggled to get up an RPG was fired at the BSAA helicopter from one of the J'avo before it was killed by Sherry and then she quickly ran over to Jake and tried to pull him up, dragging himself up as well since he was too heavy for her full strength.
"Come on!"
They crossed the last platform together before reaching a door that had to be breached by the both of them once again and so they did, getting onto the other side which lead away from the mountain but further into an Edonian trench.
Up ahead of them was a mounted machine gun with a J'avo that had just began shooting at them and without hesitation they both knew that the best option was to run, so they ran ahead and dived into the corner on their left side which only led further into the Edonian bunker.
After escaping the turret they came to a big red steel door that was too heavy for one to open themselves so Sherry requested Jake's help as they both pulled on the handle to get it open, under pressure while more J'avo were closing in on them behind them.
They get inside and close the door quickly as they run along the corridor inside until they reach two optional ways and Jake turns to Sherry.
"Alright, where to?"
But before Sherry could answer a scream of agony echoed through the building which startled the two of them and caused them to look around in case of danger, though danger still came to them from one of the optional corridors with J'avo laying down fire into their direction and they were forced to shoot back.
"Let's go! This is a waste of time!" Sherry shouted.
"Yeah no shit!"
The two of them ran down the only available corridor that they could which thankfully for them lead back outside into the blinding light of the sun, though this sight and relief wasn't felt for much longer as they began to hear the J'avo behind them scream in agony as they were slaughtered by something behind them.
Around the corner came a giant monstrous creature that had a mechanical arm with a claw that could be used for cranes but smaller and sharper. It looked over at Jake and saw his uniform and just stood staring at him, approaching them slowly.
"Run!" Sherry shouted as she had already began to run herself and so Jake followed.
Along the trench they ran down was a small barricade where they stopped behind while Sherry tried to look for a quicker way out of there but all Jake was doing was focusing on the creature before them and once he sighted an explosive canister leaned up against the wall beside the creature he shot.
"Eat this".
The bullet hit and the canister bursted into flames as they got their heads down just as the flames passed over their heads. The creature was no longer visible.
"Thanks for the warning" Sherry sarcastically thanked Jake, though she didn't receive an answer as he pointed back over at where the explosion was created and rising from the flames was the creature once again.
The creature was big and ugly looking though it already was before the explosion, it had small strands of hair sparsely placed around on his forehead and a restraining mask around his nose and mouth which made him look manic.
"Okay... We go with your plan" Jake said as he agreed to running away and so they did, though they weren't the only ones running.
The creature that was recognisably known as Ustanak by the creators of this monstrosity which was a bio-organic weapon sent out with the primary objective to capture Jake Muller, and that was what it was intending on doing.
They ran down the trench together as, jumping over obstacles that opposed problem to them and while they looked behind all they could see was Ustanak smashing it's way through them.
"Son of a bitch, he's strong!" Jake commented as they continued to run.
"Run!" Sherry replied, not knowing what else to say in the situation that they were in, she couldn't care less for what anybody had to say as long as that thing was chasing them.
They turned a corner where Ustanak ended up smashing into the end wall and all that they could see at the end of this trench was the edge that left off a cliff back into the city.
"Here goes nothing!" Jake shouted as they approached it and they both leapt off, causing them to land on a poorly wooden made scaffolding which was stable enough for them to land upon until Ustanak decided to follow them down as well, causing it to smash into pieces and they continued to fall.
The two were separated for a moment and once Jake stood back up, finding himself on the same platform as Ustanak alone, he turned around to see Sherry hanging off a rope behind him with nowhere to go as she called his name for help.
Jake noticed that there was a window directly behind where Sherry was hanging though it was boarded up but they had no other option. He ran down the platform with Ustanak behind him and made his way to Sherry.
"It's always something with women!" He shouted as he leapt from the platform, grabbed Sherry in between his arms and they hurdled through the window, luckily avoiding the wooden boards that were only along the window half way up.
As they remained on the ground beside each other still in Jake's arms for a moment he let go of her after realisation and stood up, only to be startled when Ustanak jumped against the window they entered through but was too big to get through, so all he did was watch through until shortly after climbing up onto the building.
Jake helped Sherry up off the ground and asked whether she was okay and then they looked around them at the ruined building they found themselves in, shaking themselves down before continuing through.
