"Hunnigan?" Leons face popped up on her computer screen.
"Leon, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to know why the layout of this place is completely different from the maps we have?"
"It shouldn't be," Hunnigan pulled up the map on her computer. "What's different?"
"Well, for one Chris and Jill wondered outside into a maze when they were supposedly going through the kitchens." he looked at someone off the screen. "Claire and I walked into a room where the floor opened up and zombies attacked us."
"A maze? The floor opening up?" Hunnigan looked at the map. "How can that be possible? There's no way they could have ended up out--" the screen blackened and turned to static. "Leon? Leon, can you hear me?"
Chris, Jill, Claire and Leon searched the entire room carefully, taking cover after Leons touch phone was shot out of his hands.
"Where the hell did it come from?" Jill looked around.
Chris looked at Leons broken phone then at the hole on the ground. "It's a full metal jacket," Chris looked up. "We got a sniper. Keep down!"
"How can you tell?" Claire ducked, not wanting to wind up like Leons phone.
"A shot by a full metal jacket to the head is like a pencil size but once the bullet comes out its the size of a grape fruit," Leon answered her questions.
"Like in NCIS, where Ari killed Kate," Jill looked around. "Love that show." she gave a small smile.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Not the time,"
Ada cursed Leon for moving after she fired her Bravo 51. Now I can't hit them because they're taking cover. She growled under her breath as she grabbed a flash grenade and threw it down at them. She reached her silencer and as the grenade hit the ground, she tied her rope to the side of the building and quickly shimmied down as it exploded. Now, you'll all die.
"Grenade!" Claire called out but it was too late.
The grenade exploded too close to them and there was a bright light engulfing them. The ringing in their ears grew louder and louder as every second passed. Claire pushed her back against the wall she was leaning against. Just as she did she saw someone fall to the ground, pull something out look around the room. Claire picked up her gun but she couldn't tell who she should shoot at. Claire shook her head and decided that she didn't care who she shot at because her brothers, her friends and her life were all on the line here.
Claire aimed her gun at the first person and then quickly saw that she was aiming at a wall. The person she should be aiming at was the person who was in the middle. She took aim and fired, grazing the persons shoulder. As she got to her feet the person fired at her, hitting her shoulder. She heard gun fire as she grabbed her right arm. She felt the blood running down the back of the wound.
Shit! I should've taken her out first. Ada grabbed her Beretta 93R and opened fire on Chris and Jill. From the corner or her eye she saw Leon rush over to Claires aid. Ada saw Jill fall to the ground and saw Chris rush over to her, still firing. That's one. Ada turned her gun on Leon but in that same moment she hadn't seen that Leon was at her side.
"Why doesn't it shock me?" Leon elbowed her in the face, took her Beretta, threw it across the room and threw Ada over his shoulder onto the ground.
"Why must we keep meeting up?" Ada kicked his back, underneath his rib cage and kicked him over her body. She got to her feet and grabbed her knife.
"You guys go! I'll take care of this bitch." a smile came across Leons face as he too pulled out his Sniper knife.
"I'm a bitch now, am I?" Ada ran towards him, faked him left and stabbed her knife into his shoulder. If he hadn't moved I would've stabbed him in the heart!
"Go!" Leon grabbed Adas hand, head-butted her, kneed her and twisted her arm back as he slammed her to the ground, pinning her with his foot.
"Be careful," Chris helped Jill to her feet and they walked over to Claire who was on her feet already.
As they left through another door Ada managed to kick Leon off his feet and she summersaulted him as he stumbled backwards. Ada grabbed her knife and as she brought it down to slice his throat open, Leon blocked, punched her in the face and then dropped kicked her to the floor. Leon backed away, not wanting to take a chance with Ada being so flexible that she would find a way to knock him off his feet again.
Ada got to her feet and glared at Leon. "You'll pay for that," she whipped the little blood she had on the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.
"Bring it," Leon scuffed.
Both he and Ada ran towards each other, punching, kicking, trying to stab one another. Leon kicked, Ada blocked and managed to kick him in the ribs. Leon grabbed her leg, twisted it one way and before he got to throw her, she had jumped and kicked him with her free leg. Leon grabbed punched Ada and body slammed her on the grass.
"Sir, we just got word that Kennedy called Hunnigan on a different number." Smith got to his feet as Levee walked in.
"How long ago?" Levee glared.
"Two minutes ago, sir."
"Why weren't we aware of this other line?"
"I don't know, sir." Smith panicked.
"Find out!" Levee yelled. "You, Gordon, bring up the cameras from the resting area in TriCells base."
"Accessing cameras in central resting area now," Gordon brought up the cameras to the screen in the room.
Leon hand fainted left as Ada had tried to kick him. Leon punched her in the stomach, brought his knife over to her throat but before he could cut her Ada had stabbed him in the thigh with her spare knife.
"Bring up audio," Levee smiled as he saw Ada putting up an amazing show.
"Bringing -- " Gordon began.
"I know what you're bringing up," Levee cut him off. "You don't have to repeat what I say!"
"Sorry, sir." Gordon hit a couple keys and the audio came up.
"Why are you doing this?" Leon twisted Adas arm behind her and held her close to him and held his knife by her throat.
Ada smiled, threw her head back which made contact with Leons face. She grabbed his arm, threw him over her shoulder and twisted it backwards. There was a loud crack and Leon let out a cry of pain. "Because it's fun,"
"Anita, where are his friends?" Levee kept his eyes on the screen as Leon kicked Ada in the face, twisted his body with hers and slammed her to the floor.
"They are headed towards the training room," Anita popped up next to him.
"Activate advance training scenario," Levee glanced at her. "Level ten, all available weapons are to be canceled."
"Any specific test subject?" Anita looked at the screen.
"Just die!" Ada pulled out a gun and fired.
"They kept a Nemesis, right?" Levee looked at the screen and smiled. "Bring him out. I'm sure one of them remembers him."
"Anything else?"
"Nemesis, Tyrant, a couple Lickers and bring out the Werewolf."
"Yes, sir."
Leon fell to the ground and Ada walked back towards the the rope she hang shimmed down, she placed her hand on her ear. "One down,"
"I know," Levee grinned. "I've sent out a couple surprises for the others. Come home."
"See you in a while," Ada smiled towards a camera.
"Where the hell are we?" asked Claire.
"I don't know," Chris shook his head. "I don't even want to look at the stupid GPS."
"Let's rest," Jill looked at Chris.
Chris nodded, placed her slowly on the ground and sat down with her. "Are you okay?"
"It's just a scratch," Jill smiled as she looked at her leg.
"It's a nasty wound," Claire looked at it.
Chris tightened the bandana around her wound. As he did blood dripped out of it. "It's not a through and through. This better not kill you."
Jill placed a hand on Chris' and smiled. "I'm fine, promise."
Chris smiled back and looked at his sister. "Let me see yours,"
"I'm fine," she smiled. "Leon gave me an anticoagulant."
Chris nodded. "Burned like hell, huh?"
"It made me wish I was in hell," she smiled lightly as Chris rolled his eyes.
Jill looked at the door they came from. "I hope he's okay,"
"It's Leon, of course he is." smiled Claire, secretly wishing the same thing.
Chris placed his hand against his ear. "Leon, come in." he waited. "Leon?" there was no response. He made eye contact with Jill and Claire. "He's probably busy fighting with her."
Jill and Claire nodded slowly, not saying a word.
"Training systems activated," a computers voice came on. "Level ten scenario. No weapons of choice."
"What did you press, Chris?" Jill looked around.
"Why do the two of you always think that I'm the one that did something wrong?" Chris stood up as he pulled out his gun.
"Because usually you do something wrong," Claire stood next to Jill.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Whatever," he cocked his head towards the left, swearing he heard talons on the metal. Lickers! His mind racing with creatures, with nightmares that would never die.
Leon gasped as he came too. He slowly lifted himself from the ground, finding his face buried in the grass. He stood up, feeling where the bullets had hit him. Thanks God I wore this vest, he took it off to examine the damage the blow from the bullets had done. He had a black and blue bruise on his stomach, where his liver was. Kill shot. Leon made a face and examined the other two. The second was at his and the third would have punctured his left lung and probably would've gone to his heart too. I'm so fucking lucky I wore this thing. He placed it back on, gasped a little as he bend down to pick up his knife and gun from the ground. He headed towards the door Chris and the others had vanished to.
As he ran towards the door he realized he had a sharp pain on his side and shoulder. He quickly stopped to figure out why. His left shoulder was bleeding, a bullet wound to the back of the shoulder. She shot me after I went down. Leon thought as he tried to eye his wound. He quickly looked at his second wound. Another bullet wound, on the side of his stomach. It wasn't a deadly hit but it could do loads of damage if he didn't put pressure on it.
"If I run into you again, Ada, I swear I'm not going to go easy on you. I won't let my guard down again." Leon cursed at her as he placed his hand on the wound, ignoring the screaming pain from his shoulder. He opened the door, pointed his gun around and ran. Hoping against hope that his friends were fine.
"Move!" Chris pushed Jill out of the way of the Tyrant running towards them.
"If only I had popcorn," Levee leaned back in his chair.
"If only we were there to watch them die," Ada wrapped her arms around him.
"Michael," Anitas popped up next to him. "My heat sensors indicate another person headed towards the the training room."
"What?" both Levee and Ada looked at her.
Anita brought up the heat signature on the screen. The person was a man and from the looks of it he was hurt. Anita quickly turned towards Ada. "You didn't kill him. You let him live."
"I thought I killed him," Ada glared at the hologram. "I shot him in the liver, the heart, the side, shoulder and the last wound should've punctured his lungs and gone straight for his heart."
"You should've shot him in the head," Anita glared back. "I told you she wouldn't kill him." she looked at Levee. "I told you!"
Levee typed something which turned the screen into a view from one of the cameras. Levee eyed the screen as the figure slowly walked into the frame. And as he did he leaned against a wall to check his wound. Levee zoomed in the camera and paused it on the mans face. "Kennedy!" he slammed his fist down on the table. "What the fuck is he doing alive?" he rounded on Ada.
Ada quickly took up her defense. "You were here, you saw me shot and kill him! How the hell am I suppose to know what he's doing up and about?"
Levee turned towards Anita. "Send whatever you want to kill him! I want him out of our lives!"
Anita nodded, looked at Ada and shook her head. "Let the professional take care of it," she disappeared.
One day I'm going to fry your hard drive you little bitch! Ada thought as she looked at Levee. "Now what?" she made her way across the room to sit.
"Now what?" he repeated. "Now you stay here and see how she'll take Kennedy out." he paused. "Why didn't you shot him in the head? Haven't you seen movies? The main character never dies from a shot to the chest!"
"I didn't think the bastard was going to get back up," she glared at Levee.
"You didn't think... Of course! You didn't think! Figures!" he glared at her and walked over to his desk. "He's really becoming a pain in my ass."
Ada looked away from Levee, pulled out her knife from her pocket and began playing with it. "He's a pain to both of us, not just you."
Levee looked over at Ada. He knew she was mad at him for taking his anger out on her but he couldn't help it. he got to his feet, walked over to her and began rubbing her shoulders. "I'm sorry I took it out on you."
Ada pulled away from him.
"Ada, please." he begged her. "I hate seeing you like this." he bend down and kissed her neck. "Please don't be angry at me."
Ada felt his soft, warm kisses on her neck and his hot breath following them. She was getting sexually aroused and she hated to see Levee beg just as much as he hated to see her mad. She fought the urge to turn to face him and kiss him but she knew that wouldn't last long. She knew that at any moment she would turn around, pull him towards her and they would kiss.
"Michael," Anita voices came from behind him.
Levee made a face, not wanting to turn to face Anita knowing that he was already aroused from teasing Ada. "What, Anita? Did you kill him?"
"No, not yet."
"Then what the fuck are you doing here?" he turned his head in her direction.
"I think you'll want him alive after I'm done telling you what he has for you," Anita smiled evilly.
Ada turned around to look at Anita. "What does he have that will peak our interest?"
"From the blood he lost I managed to collect blood samples when I took it I noticed something odd," she turned towards Ada.
Just get it over with Anita, Levee thought. We were about to do something very important. "And what is it?"
"Leon is a carrier," Anita smiled as a screen popped up next to her with a view of cells floating around under a microscope. "This is Leons blood. I didn't add anything to it. Leon has been exposed to the same strain of the T-virus that the Tyrants carry in them."
Ada and Levee looked at each other and walked towards the screen not believing what was right in front of them.
"So to find this out I looked at his service record," Anita turned towards Ada. "You and him had a history together in Raccoon City. Do you recall him ever facing a Tyrant?"
Ada shook her head. "There wasn't a single Tyrant when we were there. He was shot by Annette Birkin but that was the only wound he sustained."
"After the Raccoon City incident he was sent to Starlight, which was a cruise ship that was experiencing the same outbreak that took over Raccoon City. Umbrella Corporation let the virus lose as well as a Tyrant on that cruise liner. On board of the ship was a woman named Lucia. She it turns out was the main target. The Tyrant they let lose was a decoy. Lucia was a carrier of the same parasite that the Tyrant carried. It is said in the report that Barry Burton former S.T.A.R.S. was assigned to finding Leon. He found Leon as well as Lucia but before finding him the Tyrant kidnapped the woman and Leon and he split up to look for her. In Leons report he saw Barry Burton making a deal with an Umbrella employee to grant him safety off the ship if he handed over Lucia." Anita eyed them both. "Leon went to confront Barry Burton only to have Lucia being taken from him and him being shot at. As Leon tried going after them Umbrella guards opened fired and they quickly left." Anita rolled her eyes. "Getting to the Tyrant part, Leon faced him off and won. From Barry Burtons report he forced the surgeons to remove the parasite from Lucias body. They did this and he went back with Lucia to save Leon. End of the report."
"Anyway to tell if that is where he became infected?" asked Ada.
"From the images you'll see here," she pointed to her right where a picture of a very young Leon came up. "This was taken that same day. Turns out that the U.S. Government doesn't delete any of the pictures their satellite takes. From this angle you're able to tell that Leon is wearing a bandage around his neck and in the next one." she changed the picture. "You can see the green blood. That is how you know someone has been infected by the Tyrant."
"But if he's infected why hasn't he shown signs of it? How did no one notice?" asked Ada.
"Bring up his report on the Harvardville Airport incident," Levee looked at Leons pictures then at the sample of his blood.
Anita brought up the report for Levee. Levee stepped forward and began skimming though the report.
"Here," Levee pointed to a passage. "Listen to this: '...after Angela Miller jumped over to the same platform that I was on Curtis Miller had jumped in between us. He brought his arm back and threw me fifty feet into the air over to the platform I had just come from. I hit a metal vent and quickly got to my feet. I made a run for the other end of the platform knowing that Curtis would only throw me back. I ran under, over, dodged and climbed over vents, tubes and all other obstacles to get to the other side. As I reached the end the platform dropped, but I managed to jump one hundred yards into the air and grab hope of the ledge in front of me'." he turned towards Ada. "Seems like Special Agent Fair Hair is more then just human." he smiled.
"Bring him in alive," Ada looked at Anita.
"Call off whatever you sent to kill him and call him in," Levee wrapped an arm around Adas shoulder.
"Jack Krauser, sir?" Anita wanted to make sure that was who he was referring to.
"Yes," Levee grinned evilly. "I would love to see the look on his face when he sees his old friend is still alive and in amazing shape."
"Yes, sir." Anita disappeared as did all the images she had brought up.
"This should be interesting," Ada ran a finger up and down Levees chest.
"What I'm going to do to you will be interesting as well," Levee whispered into her ear, biting her neck.
Ada let out a soft moan, pulled Levee towards the couch and pushed him down on it. Ada faced him and sat on his lap as she removed her shirt. Levee pulled her in close, kissing her neck, shoulders and chest as she undid his pants.
"Chris!" Claire yelled as she saw a Tyrant making its way towards her brother and right behind him a pack of Lickers slowly making their way towards him as well.
"Take cover!" Jill yelled at Claire, who ran as she saw Jill throw a grenade.
Chris turned his head and saw a pack of Lickers behind him. He looked back at the Tyrant that began charging towards him. He knew it would be best to jump before the last second, which is exactly what he did. As he jumped out of the way he heard crunching noises and he turned his head. The Tyrant hadn't stopped after it charged. It ran into the pack of Lickers, killing all except for two who had managed to move out of the way just in time. Chris got to his feet and fired at the Lickers, hitting them in their exposed brains. As he trained his gun on the Tyrant he saw that he didn't have a chance to move.
"Shit," Chris braced himself for the Tyrants kill but never felt it. Instead he felt something splatter on his face. He flinched and looked whipped at his face. "What the hell?" he looked at his fingertips then at the Tyrant. The Tyrant fell to the ground in front of his feet.
"You okay?" Jill smiled as she lowered her magnum.
"Warning next time," Chris smiled.
"Sure thing," she winked at him.
Claire killed a couple remaining Lickers. Once they were dead she let out a sigh of relief. She turned towards Chris and Jill and smiled. "What do you think--?"
The sound of boots falling to the ground cut her off and they all turned in its direction. The footsteps were slow but loud. The sound vibrated off the walls and floor giving the illusion that it was right behind you.
"SSSTAAARRRSSS!" a loud booming voice came from the shadows.
"No... way... this can't be happening." Jill shook her head, not believing what she was hearing.
"You know that thing that's making the noise?" Chris looked at her.
"That's Nemesis," she looked at him. "He's the thing that killed Brad."
"The thing you and Carlos killed?" Chris eyed her.
Jill nodded as the creature came out from the shadows. It paused and raised its hand.
"It's got a helicopter gun!" Claire yelled.
The gun whined and bullets began to fly at them. Chris, Jill and Claire all ran out of its way. Claire pulled out a grenade and threw it at Nemesis.
"Sstaarrss," it said as it caught the grenade in its hand and squeezed it. There was a light explosion and it opened its hand again as if it had caught air. Nemesis turned its attention on Claire as it continued to fire at Chris and Jill. He reached to his side and pulled out a machine gun.
"Shit!" Claire began running away from it as it fired at her.
