Jill is now wandering alone through the empty and destructive streets of Raccoon City. Her main objective was to make it to the RPD to meet up with the Kennedys and nothing was going to stop her; but there was that terrifying massive creature lurking the streets hunting the STARS members. Jill didn't want to think about that freak right now even though she should. Jill quickly went off the streets in a very narrow alleyway with two paths. One would possibly lead back into the streets while the other looked like it was the back door of the local restaurant. She took the back door into the place and locked the door behind her. She was in the back area where the kitchen was and near a floor door leading to an underground freezer. She took a step forward and stopped due to hearing footsteps coming toward her. She backed up and cocked her gun ready for use. As soon as the footsteps got too close, she dashed out and aimed her gun at the perpetrator and to Jill's surprise, it was no undead shell but a man wearing a green collared shirt, camo pants and heavy black armor and armed with an Assault Rifle.

Jill arched an eyebrow. "And you are?" The brown haired man lowered his assault rifle. "Carlos Oliveira, Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, I was sent in to this hellhole to rescue civilians, but I got split up from my team pretty quickly." "I'm sorry, but are you fucking kidding me? Umbrella are the ones who caused this mess!" Carlos raised his hands submissively. "Easy chica, I'm just a hired gun." Jill narrowed her eyes, and holstered her gun. Jill walked past him wordlessly. "Wait, where are you going?" "The Raccoon City Police Station, the last safe haven within this city, no doubt. My friends are there, as well. And if you are smart, you'll head there as well.

Meanwhile, the Wolfpack was mobilizing with a new objective. "Delta Team, there are people who, if are allowed to continue to survive, no doubt will be able to put Umbrella in a compromised state. Two S.T.A.R.S. members, Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine, should you succeed in their eradication, your chance of extraction is high, High Command out." The leader of the team, LUPO, nodded. "Alrighty then." The demolitions expert, Beltway, nodded, with a chuckle. "A game of cat and mouse is it?" VECTOR, the recon man said in his usual almost whisper silent tone. Suddenly a voice rang out among the wreckage of twisted cars and ruined streets. "This is a quarantine zone, identify yourself!" The Wolfpack looked at him almost with an air of amusement, until they realized from his attire that he was US Military. "Typical…" This would be the first of many clashes with Echo Six and the infamous Wolfpack. As the gunfight waged on, eventually one of Umbrella's BOW's came as a gate crasher of sorts. "We got a T-103 Tyrant approaching!" Four Eyes said, alerting everyone to the imminent danger of the BOW that didn't discriminate as to who was friend or foe, kill all, smash all, that was how it worked. Meanwhile, Jill had managed to make it outside the police station, as she was tailing after Brad, but it was all for naught. The beast that had been tailing her had conveniently appeared at the right moment, letting out a loud growl. "Jill, help!" The monster had gripped Brad by the face, and with ruthless efficiency, broke Brad's next, and dropped him in a heap. "S.T.A.R.S…" The beast uttered, and began its advance. While Jill wasn't able to kill it, she was able to fend it off, and headed into the police station, shoulders slumped, as he made it up to the second floor.

Which brings us to the current time...Leon had stood up. "I have to go check up on Jill, I'll catch up with you guys in a few." "You be careful." Claire looked at him sternly, articulating the sentiments shared by her and Joey. Leon went over to the door, but it seemed to be electronically locked. "Hey Leon! You think this card key might open the doors?" Joey tossed it to him, he headed back to the front desk, logging into the security terminal, and used the card key to open the doors. He waved to Joey and Claire, "I will be right back." He tentatively approached the double doors, coming into medium sized room with a big chest and a partition to the room where the RPD officers kept their belongings. As he approached the door that lead into the L-shaped hallway, he caught a glimpse of something crawling across the window with incredible speed. "What the hell was that?" He drew his gone, and steadily advanced into the next room, which would have been completely dark save for the moonlight pouring in from the windows leaning the side opposite of him.

"Holy shit…" The hallway was slick with blood that had been splashed over all the floor and ceiling. As he slowly advanced forward, he saw a corpse belonging to a police officer with their head missing. This nearly prompted Leon to vomit, but the corpse had a box of nine millimeter ammo in the pants pocket. What drew his attention was a puddle of drool quickly forming in front of him from up above, he almost didn't want to look up, but it was a skinless monster that had razor sharp claws, no eyes, and an exposed brain. Leon didn't waste time in firing a multitude of bullets into the beast, eventually putting it down without any further injury. Leon slowly walked past the beast and was careful not to slip on the large pool of blood on the floor. He walked through a wooden door and entered a long, narrow hallway with many windows. Leon knew he was near the Briefing room and immediately went there through the room's double doors. The room was filled with desks, tables, a vending machine and paperwork everywhere.

He looked up at the front desk and noticed someone hiding behind it. "Who's there? Identify yourself!" Leon shouted. "Leon?!" The figure behind the desk revealed herself and it was Jill! "Jill! Thank god!" The two ran toward each other and embraced tightly, needless to say, they were worried about each other. Leon let out a pained groan which caused to Jill remember the attack from the Hunter. Jill talked after laughing a little. "Leon, i'm so sorry. Are you ok?" "Yeah, I'm fine. Glad to see you made it safely here." Jill then explained "It wasn't easy I'll tell you. Leon, that monster is tearing down the city looking for us. I'm so happy to see you made it here ok and that he didn't get you. But….he...got to Brad…." Leon remembered back to outside where he put Brad out of his misery. "I know about Brad. I'm sorry Jill"

Jill cleared up her eyes and regained focus "Leon, where's Joey? Is he ok?" Leon looked up and assured her. "Yeah, he's ok. He's in the main hall with a survivor we met on the way. I would never leave Joey alone, unless I was absolutely sure that he was in safe place, and the main lobby is pretty safe. The only way in happens to be locked so…" Leon sat there for a moment, before rather abruptly locking lips with Jill, eventually breaking apart. "What was that about?" She asked. "Something I wanted to do just in case we don't make it out of this hellhole alive." Leon explained simply. "Now lets get back to the others shall we?" Leon nodded, before noticing something odd out of his periphery, what appeared to be a little girl. He turned to Jill. "You saw that right?" Jill nodded. Leon raced after her. "Hey wait! It isn't safe here!" Leon drew his gun, and dashed after the girl, elbowing zombies out of the way. As he entered the room close to the S.T.A.R.S. office, Lickers began smashing through the window. "I don't have time for this shit…"Leon growled, leaping over them expertly, as he reached the end of the hall, he witnessed the girl again. "Dammit, why does she keep running?" Leon gritted his teeth. "She's just scared, can you blame her?" Jill pointed out.

Meanwhile, Joey and Claire were idling away the time with conversation. "So Claire. You ever been to Raccoon before?" "Nope. First time here and was there ever a welcome party." Claire and Joey cracked a laugh. "What about you Joey? Are you new here too?" "I am actually. I showed up the night before to celebrate Leon getting into STARS." Claire popped a devious smirk on her face. "I'm sure the celebration went well for you two?" "You can say that. It was definitely quite the night." "Oh, I'm sure." The two crack another laugh. "So uhh, what were you before you came into this madness? College student? Work or being a badass?" Claire uncontrollably laughed. "No, I'm a college student but on the side I am quite the motorcyclist." "Oh so you're a college student and a badass! Knew it!" Another laugh between the two. "I don't mean to bring down the mood here but, you said that you came here for your brother right?" Joey noticed Claire's smile turn down a bit and already he felt bad. "Yeah, I really haven't heard from him in a while. I wanna think he's just buried in work and he's not in any trouble." Joey felt from those words alone Claire has a great relationship with her brother. He felt bad for her that she just wanted to see her brother but ended up into this nightmare and just to hear that he is not in the city.

Suddenly the double doors flew open followed by what appeared to be a little girl dashing across the lobby. Joey squinted. "What's a little girl doing here?" Claire stood up. "It's obviously not safe here, we should go after her." Claire said, loading a fresh clip into her Browning High Power. Claire darted forward, vaulting over the receptionist desk. "Well shit, she's got moves." Joey said, surprised. He drew his magnum, careful to keep the safety on while he was running, and shoulder the door that Claire just ran through, not expecting a zombie to be right on the other side, which he grappled with, managing to shove it off, grabbing a nearby blunt object and caving it's skull in. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack, having managed to shake of Echo Six, made their way to the station, not only to regroup, but possibly to encounter the ones they were hunting after. "Someone was just here…"VECTOR pointed out. Lupo turned towards him, "What? Care to elaborate?" VECTOR leads the pack toward the main desk and points out to them. "Notice the typewriter and books here. Why are the books so close to the edge where they can easily fall? The typewriter now, why is it not facing front and straight instead of how it's turned to the corner." Lupo was visibly annoyed and interrupted VECTOR. "Would you just get on with it already?" Vector sighed and spat it out. "These were moved very recently. Someone was here in this area. One, maybe two people. Possibly our targets." "Alright, we'll split up and cover both sides of the station. VECTOR, you are with me. We'll take the door near the main entrance. Beltway and Foureyes, you two take the double doors. We don't stop until we find them and kill them. Now go!" The pack split up and were on the search. VECTOR and Lupo however, were gonna get a bit more than the STARS members they seek.

Claire and Joey had managed to catch up to Sherry. "Hey, hey, calm down! Do we look like monsters to you?" Claire said in an attempt to sooth the young girl. "Mind telling us your name?" She smiled. The girl looked up at her with a blank expression. "Sherry Birkin." She said. Jill and Leon meanwhile were making their way back to the lobby when they ran into two rather menacing individuals clad in black, one of them, a woman, and judging by bulk of the other, a man, armed to the teeth. "Those are the targets." The man pointed out. "I see." The woman leveled her SMG at them. "Oh shit." Leon said, moving quickly to dodge the initial gunfire, drawing his S.T.A.R.S. knife in the process, zeroing in on the bigger of the two, placing his knife level with the man's throat. "Umbrella, huh?" Leon smirked. "If I had to guess, Umbrella sent you in to tie up the loose ends so the truth about what happened here can never get out, because that would be the end, the death nail in the coffin for Umbrella. That said, we won't be beaten so easy." Beltway cracked his neck, and kneed Leon in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

"Should have…seen that coming." Leon fell to his knees. Jill ran over to him. "You have to get up. We can beat them, if we just can get some time to regroup." Leon growled, and tackled Beltway, and leveled his gun at his head. "Got you now, you bitch. At this range, I couldn't possibly miss." Beltway scoffed. "Yeah, maybe so, but you don't have the spine for it, now do you?" Leon knew the brute was playing mind games. He had the spine but did not want to stoop to his level. Leon reached for his cuffs and handcuffed Beltway to make him less of a problem and maybe get information out of him. "I'm letting you off easy here. If you try anything funny, I'll show you who has a spine here. Got it?!" Leon's sudden change of tone and gun aimed high made Beltway suddenly uncomfortable. He nodded in agreement to cooperate. Four Eyes rolled her eyes, "I can't believe this." "Yeah, shut up, alright? We'll be back, and don't expect it to go so easy next time. Though you might want to hurry, after all, VECTOR and Lupo should be coming across some other rats soon enough." Leon dropped him, and stood up, he winced, he must have re-opened his wound.
Drops of blood started forming puddles at his feet. Jill pulled him close, "We gotta redress that wound, come with me." She helped Leon to his feet, and they went to the photo developing room, which was bathed in a red, dim light. She sat him on the table, clearing some miscellaneous objects out of the way. "You know the drill." She said. He slipped out of his vest, and shirt, revealing toned muscles, the bandage was almost completely red. "Sheesh, we need to find a way to keep you out of harms way." Leon smirked. "I don't think that's possible." He chuckled. "Ow…" Leon sighed. "You ok, Leon?" He shook his head. "Not really, no. The more I see, the less I have a feeling we're gonna get out alive." "You can't go thinking like that, even when everything falls apart, that one ray of light, can make all the difference. So long as we keep our heads, we can do this. And maybe, just maybe, you and I can relax somewhere nice." She said, placing a hand on his face.

Leon started blushing. "I'll hold you to that." He said, lapsing into silence as Jill tended to his wound, the big chest next to the file cabinets had three first aid sprays, Leon fished through the file cabinet, finding a box of nine millimeter bullets. "Nice! Hey Jill, how you doing on ammo?" He asked, turning around. "Jill?" She had seemingly disappeared. Leon went to the back room. Jill was leaning on a desk. Leon approached tentatively. "Jill...are you, crying?" He muttered softly, placing his arms on around her. "I was thinking about it, and maybe you're right, this is a situation that keeps getting worse and worse." Leon held her close. "I won't let you die, I will lay everything on the line if it means even the slightest shot at keeping you alive, and that counts for Joey and Claire as well, I gotta keep you all safe."

"Just so long as you don't do anything foolish. It's ok, to lean on others from time to time." Jill explained. Joey, Sherry, and Claire meanwhile had made the decision to head back to lobby, where it was relatively safe, and waited for Jill and Leon to show up again. Claire was beginning to worry for Leon. "He's fine, trust me, if I know him, and I'd rather think I do, he and Jill are just briefly fooling, if you know what I mean." Just then, the air was punctuated by a really loud howl that was not even remotely human. "What the hell was that?" Joey said. "It's that monster again! It's big, far bigger than any of those zombies out there, and it's coming after me." Sherry said frantically, darting off again. "Ah shit, we have to catch up to her!" Claire shouted in made it into lobby and was going to head for the double doors again. As Sherry was about to reach for the handle, the door had already been opened by Leon and Jill. Sherry fell back on to the floor from being startled. Jill recognized the little girl and was able to stop her. "Hey there now. It's ok. Nothing is gonna hurt you." Jill was able to comfort Sherry but she was still nervous about the monster that was after her. "I'm sorry I ran from you earlier. But there's something here that's after me." Jill had a questioning look on her face. "What do you mean something is after you?" Before Sherry could answer, Joey and Claire made it into the lobby and caught up. "There you two are!" Joey shouted. "Oh, you got her. Wow she's a track star." All kidding aside, Joey noticed Leon's new bandages and more blood on his shirt and armor. "New bandages? Something happened, you guys ok?" Leon smirked with being surprised Joey knew right off the bat something happened to him. "We're ok, for now. But i'll explain later." Jill stood up with Sherry by her side. Joey acted quick. "Oh..um..Jill, this is Claire Redfield. Claire, this is Jill Valentine. Also a STARS member." Claire and Jill shook hands. "Pleasure to meet you Claire. I'm sorry we couldn't meet under more normal circumstances" Claire let out that cute small laugh again. "It's quite alright, nice to meet you Jill." Leon had a evil smile on his face as he tilted toward Jill and whispered "Just so you know, Joey is quite smitten with Claire." Jill let out a small laugh while both Joey and Claire blushed hard. Joey was more nervous and mad at Leon while Claire looked away smiling. "Shut up Leon." Joey whispered after lightly punching Leon's arm. The mood was nice as everyone had a laugh. But now it got more serious as everyone now focused on Sherry. "Now Sherry, what are doing here all by yourself?" Claire asked.

"I was told here to hide by my mom, my parents lab is in the basement. There is something out here to get me, but I have no idea what is is, and I am sure I don't want to know, but my mom told me to lay low, and I can't say this counts towards that." Suddenly, a loud shattering sound came, followed by the appearance of a brown haired man, toting an assault rifle, "Shit...that was close." Jill stopped for a second. "You!" He put a finger up. "Ah! Hired gun, remember? Not my fault." Leon looked towards Jill. "I see you're confused." He noted walking towards Leon, offering his hand to shake. "Carlos Oliveira, former member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service." Leon took it. "What do you mean former?" Leon crossed his arms. "Well, considering that our employer viewed as nothing more than expendable assets, and that well, I've pretty much been expended, I'm kinda in a tight spot here. That and we have to clear out of here before dawn. The US government is going to wipe Raccoon City off the map with some well placed tactical nuclear missiles."

"They can't do that! That shit will be all over the news!" Joey shouted. "No, it won't, at least not Umbrella's involvement in the destruction, the government is too far in with Umbrella, anything that hurts Umbrella will no doubt shatter the government as well. The United States played the devils game, and they paid for it." Carlos concluded. "Nice hairstyle by the way." He nodded to Joey. Joey gave him a thumbs up, "Let's talk while we walk. So what's this going on right now?" Joey asked Carlos. "Currently, a good deal of the city is a battleground between Umbrella forces and the US Military, and thats not even counting the sheer multitude of Umbrella's weapons that have ran rampant through the city, I narrowly avoided a confrontation with this big, brown skinned one, and this motherfucker looked like he meant business. Then the man I thought was my comrade shot some weird capsule into it, and the damn thing went berserk, and then it skewered an entire contingent of USS troops. That thing is not going to go down easily, that's for sure."

"S.T.A.R.S…" A growl issued, from outside, as Nemesis smashed down the double doors. "Holy shit, when did he get a rocket launcher?!" Jill shouted. "Beats me, but I suggest we don't stick around long." Jill shook her head in the negative. "That's not enough, we have to put it down, sure enough it will be a risky endeavor, but it's that son of a bitch, or us. So we have to chase it off for now."Everyone was surprised with Jill's bravery especially against a huge B.O.W like Nemesis. Joey was the first to speak out of the group. "She's right. We gotta take it down. It's now or never. I have a plan. I'll take out the rocket launcher he has. As soon as it's gone, we all fill him with lead. Got it?" Everyone agreed to the plan and were also shocked at Joey's bravery and agreement to Jill's idea. Leon wasn't fully sure if this was a good idea as he didn't want anything to happen to Joey but since he was by his side, he was up for it. Leon patted his younger brother on the back and said. "I'm with you like always brother." Joey smiled then turned serious real quick. Joey popped up and unloaded many rounds from his Desert Eagle into the monster's rocket launcher until it was gone. At his last round fired, the launcher blew up in Nemesis face, actually injuring the monster. Joey shouted as he went to reload "ATTACK!"

Leon leveled his gun at the monstrosity. "Sherry, cover your ears!" Leon gritted his teeth, stared down the sights, and fired at this nameless beast, until his clip was empty, eventually the beast fell, incumbent, for now, at least. "I can't believe that worked." Leon said, shoulders slumped. "That was ballsy Joey, but way to take the initiative." Leon placed a hand on his shoulder and nodded, turning to Sherry. "You said your parents lab was in the basement of the police station? Well, maybe we should chat it up with the police chief, after all, he's still alive from those files laying around that I managed to find. Furthermore, he has to answer for his crimes."

"What do you mean Leon? What crimes?" Joey questioned Leon faced the group and thought it's a good time to explain the true Chief Brian Irons. "After Claire's brother Chris left 2 months ago, I did a little snooping around. I really felt something was off about the chief since I came here. So when he was away, I snuck into his office to see if there was anything of interest." Joey spoke up "So did you find anything to prove your theory?" Leon then had a disturbed look on his face. "Yeah, and I really regret it." Leon pulled something out of his pocket which was a book. "This is the Chief's diary." Joey laughed "Damn bro, I didn't think you were into that stuff." "Oh shut up!" Laughter ensued within the group for a second. Leon went from smiling to disturbed again. "In all seriousness, you guys should hear all this. Sherry, I don't think you should hear this." Jill took Sherry away so she would not have to hear what the group had to and they wished they didn't.

Leon reads "September 23rd: It's all over. Those imbeciles from Umbrella have finally done it… Despite all their promises, they've ruined my town. Soon the city will be infested with zombies. I'm beginning to think I may be even be infected myself. I'll kill everyone in town if this turns out to be true." Leon could tell they already the group was already not comfortable with this. Claire was the first to speak "This guy has some serious issues." Everyone agreed. Joey spoke next "I have never met this guy and I already don't like him. Is there more dude?" Leon nodded and continued reading. "September 24th: I was successful in spreading confusion among the police as planned. I've made sure that no one from the outside will come to help. With the delays in police actions, no one will have the chance to escape my city alive. I've seen to it personally that all escape routes from inside the precinct have been cut off as well. There are several survivors still attempting to escape through the lower levels, but i'll make sure no one gets out."

More uncomfort was among the group. Carlos spoke up before Joey did. "What is wrong with this guy?" "My dislike just turned to hate. Is there more bro?" Leon froze for a couple seconds and nodded. Everyone knew the next part would not be good at all. Leon continued "September 26th: I've had a change of heart about the remaining survivors inside the precinct. I've decided to hunt them down myself. I shot Ed in the back through the heart less than an hour ago. I watched him write in pain upon the floor in a pool of his own blood. The expression on his face was absolutely exquisite…" "SHUT UP! NO MORE!" Joey screamed. He took the book from his brother's hands, threw it on the floor and fired magnum rounds in to it. Joey was livid with what he had heard and agreed that they heard enough. "This son of a bitch….deserves to die."

Leon had his fists clenched. The sound of bullets being fired had no doubt drawn Jill and Sherry's attention. He went over to Sherry, got down to one knee, and placed his hands on her shoulder. "Sherry, things are about to get more dangerous, I need you to listen to us, if we tell you to hide, you do it, and so on. You understand? We need to stay together." She nodded in the affirmative, turning to Jill. "You ready for a game of cat and mouse, a certain chief of the police needs to die." Jill arched an eyebrow. "What are you saying?" Leon narrowed his eyes. "He's been the one doing counterintelligence to keep Chris out of Umbrella's business, he also hunted down and killed most of the members of the precinct."

"That's a pretty wild accusation Leon, where is your proof?" Leon nodded back towards the direction of the reception desk. "The journal I had found that Joey shot to pieces with his Magnum, it's pretty much unreadable now, but he mentioned hunting down Ed and shooting him in the spine, watching him slowly die, and I have never been one for tall tales as it is." At that point a groan customary of a zombie reached their ears. Leon turned around. "Marvin! Not you too!" Leon drew his knife, well aware of the fact of his empty clip, and hacked at his former friend until he collapsed. Leon sighed. "I am getting really tired of this crap…" He fell back to the wall that shared the emergency ladder, lapsing into silence.

Jill sat next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "You did what needed to be done. It's terrible, and should have never come to pass, but pass it did, and you did what was right for everyone, and made a tough choice, but saved the rest of us for it. I'm not trying to trivialize it, don't get me wrong." Joey started to approach his older brother, until he was stopped by Claire, who shook her head. "Let them be for a bit, he needs a moment to grieve, and Jill needs to comfort him." Joey nodded. "I...suppose you're right." He faced Claire. "So now what?" He asked. "Wait a minute, where did Carlos go?" Just a few minutes later, there was the sound of splintering wood, as Carlos flew back out in the lobby with a red skinned zombie quickly on his heels. "Uh, guys? Maybe you should, like, HELP?!" Claire lined up her Browning High Power, and fired a single bullet at the zombie which slowed it, for a split second, quick enough for Carlos to wheel around and finish it with his assault rifle.

Joey approached it, "What the hell is that?" He poked it's remains. Jill ran a hand through Leon's hair, and went over to the downed B.O.W. "Crimson Heads, it's a type of zombie, if you kill a zombie without lighting it on fire, or destroying it's head, it undergoes an extreme cellular reconstructive process known as V-ACT, which causes a ton of blood to seep out onto the surface of the skin which gives it's red color. It also turns even more hostile, becomes incredibly fast, and gets claws." Leon approached, "There is going to be a lot of these things." He said quietly. Sherry went over to him, and gripped his hand in a comforting gesture. Leon smiled, and stroked her hair gently. "Let's get going,yeah?" He smiled, with Sherry nodding.

Now we return to the Spec Ops team, otherwise known as Echo Six. The teams current objective is to find their way into the underground lab below Raccoon City. There is belief that the source of the monstrosities that invade the city streets are from this lab below the city, and said lab was, needless to say, Umbrella property. Spec Ops HQ contacts Echo Six to route them to their destination. "Echo Six, this is HQ. We've calculated the closest and safest route to the underground lab. The route we discovered is accessible through the Raccoon City Police Department. However, getting through the front door is not an option as we've detected multiple V-ACT B. swarming the front of the station. The only way though would be a ventilation shaft under the front entrance. The shaft should take you directly to the parking lot which you can access the the sewer system through a manhole in the dog kennel. Trend carefully. Lord knows what awaits in there. HQ out." Dee-Ay, one of Echo Six was the first to speak. "Alright guys, you heard the boss? Let's head to that station!" It took time to get there but the team made it to the station. They immediately noticed all of the Crimson Heads trying to get in the RPD through the front doors. "HQ was not kidding about the B. . We should keep a low profile" The group agreed with Dee-Ay's advice and stayed low and reached for the stairs leading down into the hall where they discovered the body of Brad Vickers. Tweed examined the body "Poor guy. No one deserves this." The team found and opened the shaft HQ told them about and made it through on the way to the parking lot.

"Well, it's relatively clearer here." Party Girl noted. "Yeah, but not for long, we shouldn't stick around too long." The teams medic, Erez Morris, AKA Harley, noted. Shona went over in an attempt to try the door that lead to a small building. "Damn, locked." They hadn't explored the adjacent building, so silent, and yet with purpose, the African man made his way into the building, and found a single simply designed key dangling from a big key ring. "A bit extraneous...but alright." He arched an eyebrow, and went back to the locked building, inserted the key into the lock, and with a small twist, the door opened. "Got it." He muttered with an air of satisfaction. "Here comes the cavalry!" Tweed shouted, noting a group of Hunters. Shona wheeled around, and fired a few assault rounds into one, with it letting out a final death screech as it flopped over. "These things sound terrible…Through that doorway, now!" Dee-Ay commanded, with his team wasting no time. They all funneled into the relatively dark room to catch their breath before commencing their mission. "Man, it's like an alphabet soup, a T-Virus to start it off, and a G-Virus to kick it into high gear…" Harley remarked.

Party Girl pinched the bridge of her nose in irritation. "That's the best analogy you could come up with?" She scoffed. Dee-Ay approached the opposite door, tentatively opening it, and peering out. "Thats...a lot of zombies." He said in dismay. "But we have little choice beyond pushing through. Make sure you get them in the brain or else they'll eventually become just like those zombies we saw trying to claw their way into the station, and they aren't like your generic zombie, as I am sure you remember." They stepped out casually, as the zombies attention was drawn to the noise, slowly turning around with their arms outstretched.

Our heroic group led by the Kennedy brothers, make their way to the Chief's office. They already had dealt with the long tongued creatures that Leon had met before. Leon then led everyone to a lone door leading down a narrow long corridor. "Down here is where the Chief's office is. Let's see if he's still in here." Leon then focused his eyes on his angry brother. He knew as soon as the signal was given, he'd rush down the hall and fill the Chief with lead. "Joey, I need you to stay focused and to try keep your cool." Joey spoke without looking at his brother. "Can't promise that Leon." Leon expected that answer and he could not blame him. "Alright then. If something goes wrong, you have my permission to let him have it. That brought an evil smirk to Joey's face. "Alright everyone, let's go." Joey was the first of the group to run down and kick the door down. Those armed searched the room for anything or anyone including Irons. "Hmmm Leon, he's not here." "Yeah, weird. He usually never leaves his office." Sherry then approaches Joey and pulls on his shirt. "Joey keeps his cool in front of the young girl. "Hey Sherry, what's up?' "Um Joey? I noticed that there is a light coming from underneath the shelf behind that desk." Sherry points to the shelf she spoke of and she is right. There is a light coming from behind the case. "Well i'll be. There is something behind the shelf. Way to go Sherry." Joey's praise brought a smile to Sherry's face. Joey and Carlos then try to move the case but have no luck. It was like it was nailed to the floor. "Damn, this thing won't move for nothing!" "Just adds that there is something up here." Joey notes. "Maybe there's some kind of switch mechanism that moves it." "Like this?" Joey and Carlos look over to Claire in front of a painting and she presses what looks to be a button. The case made a rumbling noise and slid horizontally revealing a secret passage.

Joey and Carlos took a peek in and the first thing they noticed was an elevator. Joey pops back out "There's an elevator in here. Thanks Claire, nice one!" Claire nodded then let out that cute smile again. That smile always got to Joey deep down. Alright lover boy, let's find that sick freak." Carlos said after snapping Joey out of it. The group entered the elevator and made their descent down. Claire talked to Sherry while still in the elevator. "Now Sherry, this is where things are sure to get ugly. Just stay behind me and let everyone take care of this, okay?" Sherry nodded in agreement. "We're here guys." The elevator reached the lower level which looked like a dungeon. "Well, this is lovely...and disturbing." Everyone agreed with Joey as they made their way down the corridor. Before Joey could take one more step, a loud scream was heard. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The group was startled and on alert. Leon spoke up "What the hell was that?!" "That came from that door. Let's go!" Carlos answered and led the raid into the next room. When everyone entered, they finally found the Chief and also the body of a young lady dressed in white. Chief Irons, armed with a cleaver spoke up in a creepingly tone. "This is the Mayor's daughter. Isn't she beautiful? I was about to stuff her." Everyone was disgusted. Joey looked like he wanted to barf. "You are one sick son of a bitch, ya know that?!" Irons laughed and spoke again. "All of you prowling around at this time. You're after G too. Aren't you?" Leon and Joey had a confused look on their face and both said at the same time in a confused manner. "G?" "Don't play dumb with me!" Everyone had their guns aimed at the Chief, who then noticed Sherry and was surprised. " What's this? Aren't you 's…" Joey interrupted him. "That's enough you sick bastard. Time to die." Just before Joey fired his gun, Irons let out a painful scream, holding his chest and almost dropping to the floor. Chief dropped his cleaver and was dwelling in pain so much, he actually vomited on his hand. Everyone was taken back and Joey came a lot more closer to puking than before. The Chief's torso ripped in half from the inside because an unknown creature crawled out of Iron's body, leaving his remains as flat as deflated balloon. The only thing that remained was the B.O.W now standing tall and had its sights on our heroes.

"Holy shit." Leon muttered. He turned to Joey, "Now this is just a hunch, but if you aim for it's eye, that should do the trick." He nodded to everyone else. He aimed his gun, forgetting that he had no bullets in the clip. "Shit…Looks we're doing this the up close and personal way. I need you guys to distract it, while I do what I do best." Jill protested. "Leon, your wounds!" Leon shook his head. "You trust me yeah?" He said, drawing his knife, and aiming for the beasts eye. "Of course I do...but, I don't want you to die, is that so much to ask?" Leon chuckled. "What do you guys take me for, this two bit monster isn't enough to get me down." He repeatedly plunged his knife into the abominations eye, and after what seemed like an eternity, the monster fell to the ground, coughed up some blood, and lay still. Leon was panting. "Shit…" Jill went over to him, kissing him on the lips. "Don't do something so risky again." She smiled. "Yes ma'am." Leon chuckled. Joey gave him a thumbs up, while Sherry clinged to Claire, who was trying to comfort her from the horror she had just witnessed. Joey then turned his attention to the young girl as well. "It'll be fine, it's dead, and won't hurt anyone else." He muttered gently, holding Sherry close.

Leon meanwhile was looking at the husk of Brain Irons. "Serves you right." He spat on the corpse, and turned around. "Justice...if you could call it that." Leon said quietly. "Now lets get to that lab, every minute we dally means that this city comes one step closer to the end, this is the final stretch guys." Leon smiled. "We're almost out of here." The group discovered a secret passage with a ladder going down to the lower levels of the station. Joey volunteered to go first to see where it lead. Joey climbed down and ended up in the parking lot which in no surprise was also a mess. Joey screamed up the ladderway "It's ok! It's just the parking lot! Come on down!" The group heard Joey give the go ahead and made their way down. Everyone made it down and observed the area. "What a mess." Carlos said. Claire then noticed a door across the lot and pointed it out. "Does anyone know where that door goes?" Jill responded to Claire's question. "Yeah. That door leads to the dog kennel and the holding cells. In the kennel there is a manhole. I'm not too sure where it leads." Leon stepped up "Only one way to find out. Let's go everyone."

Leon took one step forward and shots were fired. The group was alert and cautiously made their way to the gunman. They took a peek toward the parking lot gate and there was a woman in red being attacked by zombies. The woman shot all zombies in their heads dead center. The woman really knew how to use a gun. All the zombies were dead but one snuck up behind her and was ready to bite. Leon and Joey drew their guns and shot the last one. The woman now noticed the group as they approached her. "Are you alright?" Leon asked the woman. "Yes, I'm fine. Thank you. You saved me some bullets." Leon started to introduce everyone. I'm Leon. This is my brother Joey, Claire, Jill, Carlos and Sherry." The woman observes the group as they wave and or say hello. "Nice to meet you all. I'm Ada Wong." Ada turns to Leon. "Hey, you're a cop here right? Do you know a Ben Bertolucci? I'm looking for him." Leon shook his head. "Sorry no. I just got assigned here." Jill had a look on her face like she was remembering. She heard that name before but could not narrow it down. Claire asked Ada "What brings you here Ada?" "Ben has information regarding the crisis. I don't know what kind of information, but that's what I'm here to find out." After Ada spoke, she rudely walked away from the group toward the back. "Leon called out "Hey!" The group had a look of uncertainty about Ada. Especially Joey and Claire. "What is with her?" Claire asks Joey. "I don't know, but I'm starting to not like this." Joey, due to his gut feeling, was now suspicious of Ada. He knew deep down something was up with this lady. He had his eyes on her. Leon stopped Ada. "What is it?" Ada said in a tone with attitude. "Look, I know we don't know each other, but we're the only survivors left. It's better that you stick with us."

Before Ada could answer, large loud footsteps were heard in the distance. Carlos was the first to hear. "Shhh, quiet! I hear something." Everyone stood quiet and slowly made their way down the path to the cells. A man was heard to be screaming. "No! Get away from me!" Ada recognized the voice. "Ben?" The man then made a blood curdling scream. If that was Ben, he was no doubt being attacked. The screaming stopped and the big footsteps resumed. Joey alerted the group. "It's coming this way. Retreat!" The group back up to the door while the Joey,Leon and Claire stayed at the corner to try to see what is coming their way. The source of the footsteps revealed itself in the form of a hideously deformed man-like creature. It looks as if it was entering the dog kennel. "What the hell…?!" Claire said in a terrified tone. The creature may have heard Claire because it turned around to face them. Before it could see her, Joey immediately pulled Claire away into his arms with one holding his gun ready for shooting. The creature thanks to Joey, did not see Claire and proceeded into the dog kennel. Ada looked over and called the group in "He's gone. Hurry. we have to see if that was Ben." "let's go everyone!" Carlos commanded as the group made their way to the cells. Joey and Claire were last behind. Joey was about to catch up but was stopped by Claire as he pulled his arm. "Listen umm…...thank you for that. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing. It would've seen me and we'd all be finished. Thank you for saving me, Joey." Joey smiled at Claire and replied "Don't mention it. I know how you feel too. This night has really took a turn for the worse. But I have the utmost confidence that we're all gonna get out of here alive and well." Claire admired Joey's optimism and agreed with him. "Come on, we better catch up with the others."

Joey and Claire caught up with the group in the holding cell area and the mood in the air was grim. They had discovered a torn up body who was identified as the Ben Bertolucci Ada was searching for. "I'm sorry Ada." Leon said looking at Ada. "It's fine….wait...there's something on the wall there." The group looked and noticed a message on the wall. Leon read it to everyone. "With no hope of survival, I write this to those who see this so I can feel better that I actually helped someone. The station and the lower level lab at Umbrella is connected by a sewer." That line caught everyone's attention as they now have a possible escape plan. Jill finally spoke up "If we can access that sewer, we're home free." Leon turned away from the written on wall. "That's right…...wait..where's Ada?" Everyone looked around for her. Ada was long gone. "Damn! She must've snuck out while we weren't looking." Joey assumed. Jill agreed with Joey's theory and spoke again. "Well, nothing we can do for her. Let's just find that sewer way." The group left the lockup and made their way to the manhole located in the dog kennel. Everyone went ahead while Joey held up Leon to talk to him. "Leon...something doesn't check out with this Ada chick." "What do you mean Joey?" "This girl has suspicious written all over her Me and surely the rest don't trust her and neither should you." Leon knew his brother was serious about it and usually when he's suspicious about someone, he's right. Leon let out a sigh and grabbed his brother's shoulder as he spoke. "Ok man. You have a point.I'll take your word for it." Joey was relieved to hear his brother agree with him on this. They proceeded to catch up with the group and make it through the sewer.

That is, until a certain creature came to call. "That's the thing we saw earlier!" Claire shouted. "And I am still out of ammo...shit." Leon growled. Jill looked towards him. "We'll handle this one." Leon wasn't able to be completely stand back, as he had to dodge the vicious monsters furious blows. "Leon, use this!" Jill tossed him a shotgun, and leveled it with the monstrosities single glaring red eye, which released a rather large gout of blood, the monster began to teeter, following the wrenching sound customary of weakened metal, Leon fired a number of shots into the eye until he wandered to the edge and flipped over it, at that moment, the catwalk collapsed out from under Leon. The group dashed forward. "Leon!" "No!" Joey and Claire shouted. And so Leon, fell, and fell, and eventually landed in waist deep, surprisingly clean water, he raised his arms above the water, and stopped and listened for a second. He wasn't alone. He placed his gun in it's holster, and placed his hands on the ready with his knife.

"Hello?" He whispered. He felt a gun pressed into the small of his back. "Well, hello baby brother, it's been a while." A cocky voice that he hadn't heard in six years. "I don't believe it. You're still still alive in all this?" Leon said eyeing the woman's ID badge pinned to her lab coat, Lyssa Kennedy. Head researcher of the T-Virus team in the Underground Facility and an Umbrella executive. "S.T.A.R.S…" Leon's shoulders slumped. "Ah shit," Leon muttered. Lyssa grabbed his hand and dragged him along to hide in the shadows, silently crossing their fingers Nemesis would pass them by. Eventually he walked on. "Why are you helping me, your bosses want me dead after all." Lyssa shook her head. "I didn't want all this to happen, I just wanted to continue my work, the T-Virus research I was delving into was towards pharmaceutical use, and I got so caught up in my research, I didn't see the demon in disguise. Ozwell E. Spencer…" Leon looked at her, wordlessly, and then looked down into the dim tunnels, "I fell down here from the purification facility, I am trying to reunite with my friends, so we can get out of this city, or what's left of it…" Lyssa looked at him. "I saw Delta Team skulking down around here, laying in wait for you and your friends, as it is, they're after me too, so we're in the same boat. Turns out they learned of my betrayal pretty quick, but there is something I need to find before we get out of the city, if you follow me, we will grab what I need, and most likely run into your friends as well, ideally, that is."
Lyssa and Leon walked through the tunnels until screaming was heard in the distance. "There's people down here?" Leon asked Lyssa "I'm pretty sure I'm alone here….wait...there is someone else…" Before Lyssa could continue, gunshots were fired. "Come on!" Leon and Lyssa followed the shots fired to locate the shooter. The Kennedy siblings walked through a door and noticed a figure taking cover against a wall. it was Ada. Leon recognized her and called out "Ada!" Ada noticed Leon and looked she was preparing to dash to him. "Ada, No!" Ada made one step out and the shooter fired again. Leon dove in front of Ada taking her to the ground with him. The shooter inadvertently hit Leon near his shoulder. "Leon!" Lyssa screamed. She then fired back at the shooter in order to move to her injured brother. "Ughh! Damn it!" Leon was seething in pain. "Leon…why?" Ada wondered. Lyssa looked up to Ada. "That's my brother for you. Just has to be the hero huh?" "And you are?" "Lyssa Kennedy. Leon here is my baby brother." "Pleasure. I have bandages here. I'll patch you up Leon." Lyssa had a smile on her face. She was grateful that is woman seems to care for Leon. "There ya go Leon. Just rest. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to find that woman." "Do you know her?" Lyssa asked. Ada had that look of concern on her face. "I..,I think I do." "Go ahead. I'm staying here with Leon. Be careful." Ada went off after the shooter. Lyssa stood by Leon's side to comfort her injured brother.

"Leon, you can be quite the dolt you know that? What made you save that woman anyway?" She arched an eyebrow. "We're all just trying to get out this hellhole alive, that and it was a spur of the moment kind of thing." He chuckled. "Shot in the arm, clawed in the side by a Hunter, I've been really clumsy this evening." She shook her head. "Jesus kid, how are you even still alive? That's beside the point, how's Joey doing?" Leon smiled."Pretty good, I don't think he expected to step into a nightmare like this, then again, I don't think any of us did." Leon lapsed into silence. "This kind of thing takes everything from you…" Lyssa pulled one of her legs in, and stared at her brother in silence. Eventually the duo stood up, "I suppose we should make our way to this underground facility to find whatever you are looking for, no?" Lyssa smiled. "I'm glad we ran into each other again." She smiled, the dim light catching her green eyes. "Follow me." She turned around. "Purple streaks? When did you get those?" He asked. "1996." She chuckled, pausing at the sound of gunfire."S.T.A.R.S…" Leon peered around the corner as he neared it. "Yup, that's my friends." He grabbed Lyssa. "You got a gun?" She produced a SIG P226, Leon let out a low whistle. "Nice. Now lets go bring this son of a bitch down once and for all. You got any handgun clips by the way?" Leon asked. Lyssa handed him two clips, one of which he slammed home into his Samurai Edge, the upper part of the barrel retracted with a satisfying click. Leon remembered one of the grenades he stripped from the belt of an RPD Select Force member, and sent it winging at the Nemesis T-Type. "Good start, now lets go shall we?" Leon nodded. "Yeah." The siblings fired bullets repeatedly at the Tyrant's cranial region, and with the concussive hail of gunfire, the B.O.W. finally collapsed in a pool of it's own blood. Leon was bumrushed by Jill, Joey, and Claire all at once, with Carlos standing back smirking. "How did you survive that fall?" Joey asked. "Not sure, lucky I guess?" "Long time no see, Joey." "Lyssa?" Joey stood up, embracing her. Jill and Claire looked incredulous. "You know her? She's an Umbrella exec!" Jill pointed out. "She's also our older sister." Leon pointed out. "Now that I think about it, I can see the resemblance." Carlos pointed out.

Joey whispered before introducing everyone to Lyssa. "It's probably the hair." That remark let out a laugh within the group with Joey no doubt referencing Carlos' compliment. "So Lyssa, allow me to introduce you to everyone. This is Claire Redfield." "It's a pleasure Lyssa." "Pleasures all mine Claire." Joey resumed "This here is also a member of STARS and a "very close friend" of Leon, Jill Valentine." "Putting me on blast again bro?" "No harm in it." More laughter ensues. "Nice to meet you Lyssa." "Likewise Jill. I hope my brother has been no trouble at all." "Oh no, not at all." Jill winks at Leon. Joey once again resumed. "Moving on! This is former U.B.C.S member Carlos Olivera. No worries sis, he is cool but guilty of having awesome hair." Carlos and Joey fistbumped, indicating they're getting along quite well. "It's an honor, Ms. Kennedy." "And of course, this here is…" Joey looks around frantically. "Oh shit! Where's Sherry?!" Everyone started looking around frantically, calling for Sherry. "Oh my god. She must've ran off when that big freak showed up." Claire assumed. "We gotta find her. Let's go everyone and keep a look out and keep calling for her." Joey demanded. Lyssa assisted Leon to his feet and got a move on in the search. "I've never seen Joey act like this before. When did this happen?" Leon smirked as he explained "Since he met Claire. He's kinda enamored with Claire." "I'm right here. God, even now you guys mess with me." Leon and Lyssa laughed. "I really can't blame him. She is a beautiful young lady. Good for him."

The group made it to the end of the sewer, entering double doors leading into a room with a bridge mechanism. Everyone was on alert looking for Sherry. "Freeze!" The group turned their attention to a woman in a white coat holding a gun at them. Leon being the cop he is spoke up "Drop your gun lady! You're outnumbered and this is not the time for humans to pull guns on each other." Lyssa stepped in front of the group with a shocked look on her face. "Annette?" This caused the woman to lower her gun. "Lyssa? What are you doing here?" "Um I'm with these guys and these two are my brothers I told you about, Leon and Joey." Annette had a look of relief on her face. "Lyssa, I'm so sorry. I thought that they were spies after G. I've been a mess since what happened to William." Joey interrupted the conversation. "Please pardon me for interrupting but.. Annette..Annette Birkin?" Annette nodded with confusion. "So...you're Sherry's mother." This got everyone's attention and it also startled Annette. "How….how do you know Sherry? I told her to stay in the police station!" Claire stood up and spoke. "The station was overrun. It was too dangerous for her so we brought her with us." "But then she may have ran off scared when this huge one-eyed STARS obsessed freaking behemoth attacked us." "That was a highly advanced Tyrant type we nicknamed Nemesis." Lyssa whispered. "How fitting." Joey cracked. "He was one of Umbrella's greater creations with high intelligence, strength of a raging bull and much more durability than any other Tyrant to date." Leon spoke up. "I remember reading about that. So if you say that Nemesis is much more strong, you mean he's gonna keep coming back?" Lyssa didn't want to give the bad news but had to. "Yes, he was practically made to be invincible." The group moaned and groaned at the news. Annette spoke again "Please focus! You have to find my daughter before William does!" "Woah what do you mean before William finds her?" Joey asked. Annette came clean about the monster aside from Nemesis that stalks the RPD. "That creature...with the large arm with the red eyeball….that was William. His sole mission is to find a host to his embryos to replicate a monster like him. In order for it to work, he needs to infect one of the same blood. Family. The G-Virus he had created was seized by Umbrella, but it was flawed, even though it was supposed to be a boon for these modern times by putting evolution into our hands...Even if you somehow survive the seroconversion with G, you become little more than a puppet to it's will."" The group agreed they needed to hurry then Claire offered Annette to join them. "Come with us Annette. We'll all find her." "I'm afraid I can't. There's something I must do." Joey and Claire showed their disgust. "Are you kidding? This is your daughter we're talking about here! What the hell is more important than family?! Come on everyone. We have a little girl to save."

Joey led everyone past Annette and through another door leading deeper into the madness that awaits our surviving heroes. The group came into a wide open pathway. "Sherry? Sherry?" Joey shouted. Just then something shook ground, shaking dust from the low ceiling above them. Leon was quick to point out they weren't alone. Jill was the first to notice the source however. "Holy shit." She grabbed Leon and pushed him back to avoid the massive snapping jaws of the biggest alligator they had ever seen. "Goddamn, how the hell do we get past that?" Carlos shouted. "Shoot the chains of those high pressure canisters!" Claire pointed out, and with a quick burst of gunfire, he did so, with the mutant snapping it up. Leon squinted, and aimed down the sights, and fired, it hit the compromised canister dead center, blowing off the entire upper portion of the beasts skull with a deafening explosion. "I can't believe that actually worked." Carlos remarked. The group walked past the bloody remains of the alligator and made it to the end of the tunnel and reached what looked to be a trash compactor area. "Well, this sucks." Carlos said while holding his nose. "Oh my god! Sherry!" Claire pointed out. Sherry was on top of a garbage pile unconscious. The group jumped in and hauled ass over to Sherry and attended to her.. Claire tried to wake up Sherry. "Come on Sherry. Wake up! Please wake up!" Sherry slowly but finally awakes. Everyone was relieved but only until Sherry speaks. "Claire? My stomach...it hurts." The mood in the room turned grim as they knew what that meant. "Oh god." Joey said. "We're too late." Joey's words brought worry to Sherry. "Claire, what does he mean?" Claire softly puts her hand on Sherry's face. "There's nothing to worry about Sherry. Come on. We better get out of here and quick." Leon turned to him. "There might be a way to help Sherry, G is a virus, it should have a vaccine…" Claire nodded. "Annette mentioned something about the P-4 Level Lab, so there's a lead, I guess. I think that once we get there if we split up, that will make it much easier. We can save Sherry, we just need to hurry." Eventually the group found themselves under the wide open sky on a platform that appeared to be a train car. Using a key they had found earlier, Leon started the platforms descent, which dragged on and on into eternity it seemed, until, with a jarring metallic thud, it stopped. Claire took Sherry into the room immediately in front of them while Leon and the others busied themselves taking out the undead researchers. Claire gently placed Sherry on a bed that was in the room' "Sherry, I need you to stay here and rest ok? I'm gonna go back out and help the others. I promise we'll be right back." Sherry nodded in agreement and Claire went out to help the others but did not expect something worse than zombies. "Oh my god!" Claire said as she stood before a huge grey-skinned bald man like creature in a long dark coat. Mr.X has arrived.

"Where the hell did he come from?!" Joey screamed. "Who cares?! Just shoot the damn thing!" Carlos suggested. The gang shot almost every round they could at the monster. Mr.X finally collapsed but only to his knees. Joey walked up to the creature with his Magnum drawn, reloaded and aimed to it's head. "See ya later, you bald headed bitch!" Joey fired directly into the forehead of the creature, sending it down for the count. "I am getting really sick of that son of a bitch." Leon growled, his vision starting to blur, his knees buckling. Jill went over to him. "You all go ahead, I'll catch up with you in a minute." Lyssa nodded with a smile, placing a hand on Jill's shoulder, and then went with the rest of the group to lead them to the P-4 Lab. "It's a good thing I got the bullet out of your shoulder, you really are kind of a dolt, but you're my dolt." She smiled as she removed Leon's blue armored vest, and the shirt underneath. On the plus side, the bleeding had slowed incredibly, "You heal really quick." Jill pointed out. "Neither of them are big wounds." Leon said. "You say that, but honestly you aren't looking too good." Jill said worriedly.

Leon tried to stand up, only for Jill to push him back down gently but firmly, nodding in the negative. "You've been fighting all night to keep us all alive, it's your turn to lean on us for a while. You stay with Sherry, keep an eye on her, we'll handle this, alright? It shouldn't take too long, then once we do that, we can all get out of here." Leon finally relented, and made his way to the small room Sherry was in, and flopped himself down next to Sherry, looking up at the ceiling. There was no doubt he would be having nightmares about this for quite a while after the fact. "Leon, are you going to be ok?" Sherry asked. Leon smiled at the young girl, nodding. "You got it, and don't worry, nothing will get you, not on my watch. Claire and the others are battling to get the vaccine as we speak, and we'll all make it out of here fine, and reach the dawn." This brought a smile to Sherry's face but it soon went away when another burst of pain troubled Sherry's stomach. Leon laid Sherry on her side to rest and comforted her. "Please guys, make it fast."

The group was on the way to the monitor room to get to the lab where vaccines are made. The group halted as they noticed a bloody slumped figure on the wall outside the L-4 lab. Lyssa recognized the figure and shouted "Annette?!" The gang hauled ass toward Annette, who had large stab wounds in her stomach. "Annette? What happened?!" Lyssa asked. "It...was William. He's still alive...and he's getting stronger with each skin he casts off." Claire had to know how to save Sherry and she had to ask now. "Tell us what we need to know Annette? How can we save Sherry? William implanted her with his embryos and I think Sherry doesn't have too long…..." "Sherry!.."Annette whispered. "Here's a file on how to prepare the antidote. You can make it in the lab near by. Please...save my daughter...tell her...I was never a good mother….but I always loved her…" The lights in Annette's eye were gone. She was dead. Everyone mourned for Annette as Joey closed Annette eyes. Joey's face of sadness turned into rage and seriousness as he looked up like he was ready for war. "Let's go guys." Joey said as he cocked his gun. "We got a little girl to save."

Meanwhile the Wolfpack had managed to stumble through hell and back to get the underground research facility, they had come to realization that Umbrella had treated them the exact same way as the UBCS, and were no more than expendable. Their intention was to capture the Birkin girl, as Lupo referred to her, as well as the others as leverage, but no doubt as soon as the operation went ass up, Umbrella was willing to let them die in the wreckage of Raccoon City, it was as good as employee termination, to put it lightly. They had pressed a button to call the train back up, which stirred Leon out his drowsy revelry. "What? Someone calling the train platform back up? That can't be good." Leon awaited with baited breath as he stepped outside of the small office, and waited to see what was next. Eventually the deadly Wolfpack came into view. "Oh shit!" Leon began to turn tail to grab Sherry, until he was grabbed by Lupo, who had removed her strange blue mask. "Easy kid, easy. We aren't here to kill you, it didn't take long for Umbrella to stab us in the back. The way I see it, you and I, we're in the same boat."

Leon crossed his arms. "You'll understand if I am not necessarily willing to believe you since just hours ago you were more than willing to kill all of my friends and send Sherry back to the horrible "people" that you once referred to as your employers." Lupo sighed. "I understand that, mon ami. You aren't looking too good though. I could have my teams medic patch you up, if you wish." A silent blonde woman looked at him, no doubt studying him with the cold fascination characteristic of the most clinical of scientists. Leon returned the gaze. He'd be damned if he showed fear in the face of these individuals. "Learn to relax, kitz, Bertha can patch you up." Leon had the feeling she was smirking behind that mask. "So you're German?" Leon ventured. "You got it." "Bertha" nodded in the affirmative. After an awkward silence, Leon stood up, feeling much better. Leon regarded all of them.

"So what are you all going to do?" Lupo squinted. "First order of business, get out of this city along with you. Then? Gut Umbrella from the inside out, like they deserve." Leon nodded. "Looks as though we both have a similar mission. But as it happens, we have to get out of here alive…" "Agreed. Where are your friends now?" Lupo asked. "They're trying to make a vaccine for Sherry." Leon answered "She got infected by that creature with the eyeball arm. Worst thing is that the creature is her infected father." The Wolfpack knew that the creature was but it was still a disturbing thought that Sherry was attacked by her own father. "Ok, when everyone gets back. we'll come up with a plan of escape." Lupo stated/ "As long as they don't try to shoot us, of course." VECTOR reminded as the group is not aware of their commitment to help. The ground beneath them shook as soon as VECTOR spoke. The group turned their attention to the train and noticed a big glob on top of it with green eyes everywhere and tentacles whipping back and forth. It was Nemesis. "It's the Nemesis! He's reached his alternate form!" Lupo informed. "Holy shit! That's what he turns into?!" Leon questioned in shock. "Don't be so shaken up cop! We need your help to kill this thing once and for all!" Leon and The Wolfpack opened fire with hope to kill Nemesis for good. "This isn't doing anything!" Leon shouted. "We need something stronger, otherwise this will never end!" Seemingly from nowhere, Ada showed up, placing a rocket launcher firmly in Leon's hands. He stared down the sight. "Everyone...get down." He squinted, waited for the perfect shot, and squeezed the trigger, the impact of the rocket sending a gout of purple blood high into the air. "Did that do it?" The B.O.W. was barely moving at this point.

"Almost…" VECTOR concluded, producing a magnum handgun and firing repeatedly until Nemesis finally stopped moving. Leon sighed. At that moment, the rest of the group had returned with the vaccine. "What was with the commotion?" Claire asked. Leon nodded towards the remains of the monster known as Nemesis. "Something tells me he won't be bothering us much anymore. You have the vaccine right?" Joey produced it gently. "Yes, we do. Now let's get this to Sherry, and we can get out of here." Claire nodded. "I'll administer it." Claire went in while Jill finally realizes the Wolfpack and recognizes Foureyes. "Hey! You're the guys that attacked us in the station!" Leon stopped Jill and told her what had happened. "Jill, its ok. Umbrella stabbed them in the backs and left them for dead. They helped patch me up and helped kill that freakshow over there." Jill was shocked at what Leon told her and still looked at the Pack with uncertainty. "Leon, are you sure about this?" Leon nodded and gave his assurance. "Yes, they're cool." Jill backed off and trusted Leon but still didn't trust the Pack. After a minute of awkward silence, Claire returned with a fully recovered Sherry, bringing the group to celebrate their success. Just then, emergency sirens started blaring. "The self destruct sequence has been activated, this sequence may not be aborted, all employees must evacuate to the bottom platform immediately."
