'A Hospital turned transformed into some type of hive full of squirming "things". We pushed the repulsive image from our minds.'~Mighty Hamilton.

Raccoon City Hospital, once a haven for the sick and needy, now an unstable area of survival, with the door blocked by hundreds of zombies.

The survivors find themselves on the second floor of Raccoon Hospital.

"This sucks, I thought a hospital was supposed to be safe yo", Ash said.

"It's supposed to be clean, unfortunately it's not living up to that name either", Amy said.

"Seeking refuge here won't be long lasting it seems, we need to find a way out", Mighty said.

"Well you should know a way out, considering you work here", Espio said.

"I do but it's still gonna be tricky", Mighty said.

"Figure something out soon, those doors won't keep the zombies out forever, when that moment comes we're all fucked", Sonic said.

"There should be an extra passage that leads to the sewers", Mighty said.

"Ugh, the sewers? That sucks", Ash said.

"Oh man up Ash, it's either that or death by zombies, and I prefer not to end up as someone else's entree", Sonic said.

"Sonic's right, I'm not gonna get my ass killed, Mighty lead us to the sewers", Amy said.

"Ok", Mighty said.

They all left the room and approached the elevator and Mighty pressed the button, but nothing happened.

"Shit, there's no power to the place", Mighty said.

"Oh man we're totally fucked!" Ash shouted.

"Don't panic, there's a control room nearby I'm sure I can have this fixed in a jiffy", Mighty said.

"Lets just examine the floor first though, maybe we'll find things of use", Rotor said.

"You do that, I'll go fix the power", Mighty said and went into the other room.

Ash and Amy went into a random room.

"Man, this sucks, where are S.T.A.R.S. when you need them?" Ash asked.

"Most of them are dead, the ones still alive aren't even in the city anymore, at least that's what I've heard, looks like they were right after all, if we'd listen then this probably could have been avoided, then again that Elias Irons guy is one stubborn bastard", Amy said.

"I really don't trust that guy, I've heard stories about him in the police station when some cops came by, talking about how he's probably an insane motherfucker", Ash said.

"I've been trying to get dirt on that guy, me and someone else", Amy said.

"Who?" Ash asked.

".....No one, just some guy that's ALWAYS looking for a scoop", Amy then whispered, "Though Jet found one hell of a scoop", Amy said.

Ash opened a locker and found a gun.

"What the hell? Who keeps a fuckin' gun in a hospital room?" Ash asked.

"Well maybe there was another survivor here and he left his gun behind in that locker or something", Amy said.

"Hey finders keepers", Ash said and took the gun and stowed it away.

"Well you're packing heat, most I can find for defense is this lousy crutch", Amy said.

At that moment a vent filter fell from the ceiling.

"What the hell?" Ash asked.

Coming down was a zombie covered in leeches and it glared at a frightened Ash.

"Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!" Ash said and shot it but it did little damage. Amy then whacked it with her crutched and knocked it over, allowing the two ample time to leave the room and lock the door.

"Wow, guess this crutch is more useful that I thought", Amy said.

"So....many........BUGS! That's the most grotesque thing I've even seen man", Ash said.

"Calm down, don't be such a bitch", Amy said and the power came on to the hall, "Mighty fixed the power, lets go", Amy said and pulled Ash with her.

The two arrived before everyone else, Ash's shaking was noticeable.

"What's with him?" Sonic asked?

"We saw some sort of leech monster", Amy said.

"Oh great! More freaks! Perfect", Espio said while rolling his eyes.

"Leeches?" Sonic stated and remembered hearing Mina mention leeches.

"Lets just go quickly", Mighty said.

Everyone packed into the elevator and started to go down, with some cheeky elevator music playing.

"I swear that music is mocking us", Espio said.

"There's too many people", Mighty said and had the elevator stop at the 2nd floor.

"What the hell!?" Sonic asked.

"I don't think the elevator can hold this many people, we need to go down in groups", Mighty said.

"2 groups of 4 should do fine", Espio said.

"Well since it's ladies first, Amy, Tikal and Sally can go down, and since Mighty is familiar with this place, he can go down too", Sonic said.

"Hey! Just cause I'm a lady doesn't mean I need to have special treatment you know, just for that I'm not going", Amy said.

"Can I go?" Ash asked.

"Like I said...ladies first", Sonic said.

"Yo!" Ash said angrily.

"Knock it off Sonic, no need to a dick to him", Amy said.

"Lets not fight", Mighty said.

"Yeah, lets just try to get though in one piece", Sally said.

"You just go on Sal, I got things covered here", Sonic said and winked.

"Ok", Sally said with a small smile and went down with Tikal, Mighty and Ash.

"You're such a flirt", Rotor said.

"Can I help it if the girls are attracted to me?" Sonic asked, ruffing his hair back, causing Amy to roll her eyes and Espio to facepalm.

"Let's just search the area for anything useful", Rotor said.

"On it", Sonic said and went into a room alone.

"Don't go off without us!" Rotor said.

Amy and Espio walked off and headed downstairs through an open staircase.

Sonic looked around the room and saw a cabinet.

"Wonder what's in here?" Sonic asked, he approached the cabinet but at that moment, two leeches popped through the glass and the glass cut Sonic

"Aw shit!" Sonic said and pulled some glass out his chest, it wasn't deep but he was bleeding profusely, luckily a hemostat machine was nearby.

Rotor came in and saw Sonic in that predicament and went to assist him, stomping on the leeches in the progress and helping Sonic reach the machine in time for Sonic to cure himself.

"Wow, that was pretty close", Sonic said.

"This is why I didn't want you exploring alone", Rotor said.

Amy and Espio were exploring downstairs, there was a small fire nearby some dead bodies.

"Times like these I feel lucky to be alive", Amy said.

"Don't rely on luck, it will only get you so far, it's hunt or be hunted, and I'm a hunter", Espio said.

"Well I'll do fine as long as I have this crutch", Amy said.

"Well, make use of an item I guess, if I had a knife I can turn that crutch into a spear for you", Espio said, then looked in a room that had some security system.

"This is interesting", Amy said then pressed a button and opened a few gates in the hospital.

"Good move", Espio said.

They went through a door free from the gate and they were in the hospital lobby.

"You think the zombies are gone?" Amy asked and advanced toward the door, only to have Espio stop her.

"Are you crazy? Don't go there, as long as those monsters smell blood, they're gonna be hot on our trail", Espio said.

"Shit, we can never catch an easy break", Amy said.

"Life's not easy, I learned that the hard way, now lets go", Espio said as he and Amy went to another room.

Downstairs, Mighty arrived in the first basement of the hospital.

"Ok, there should a switch room nearby to help give access to the Roof and Second Basement", Mighty said.

"Unless there's a helicopter on the roof, that place is useless", Ash said.

Mighty went to the nearby room and then noticed some leeches on the panel board.

"Damn leeches", Mighty said and then grabbed a broom and swept them off, and them stomped on them, "Disgusting little creatures", he put in a code but it was wrong, What? Dammit what was that code again?" Mighty did a few tries.

Outside, a zombie approached Tikal, Sally and Ash, but he gunned it down.

"They're in here either way", Tikal said.

"Lets just go check up on Mighty", Ash said.

He walked through the door and saw Mighty still working on the password.

"You got the code man?" Ash asked.

"No, having some difficulty at the moment", Mighty said.

At that moment, the leech monster made it's way into the room.

"Oh shit! Not again!" Ash said and backed away.

The leech monster whacked Ash and Sally into a wall with a stretch punch.

Tikal crawled away from the monster in a huff and Mighty was desperately trying to remember the code.

"Think, think, think!" Mighty said but saw the monster get closer, so he tacked it back but he got covered in leeches, he desperately acted to take them off.

Sally got up after the hard strike and saw a pipe nearby, so she grabbed the pipe and whacked the leech monster, knocking it over.

After Mighty took off all the leeches, he went back to the board, "What was it? What was it? A-ha!" Mighty said and typed in the correct code, now the elevator had access to the second basement, "Out the room, now! Head to the elevator!" Mighty said and opened the door, allowing the 3 to escape and him following close behind, then entering the elevator and going down.

After Sonic healed up, he went to the hall with Rotor and accessed the elevator, Sonic noticed B2F, "That wasn't there before", Sonic replied and accessed the floor.

Mighty was in the basement with the others and went through a door where a zombie was crawling on the floor, so Sally grabbed her pipe and smashed its head.

Mighty looked around the room and saw a notepad about leeches, "Interesting", he started reading it to get info.

Sonic and Rotor arrived at B2F and walked down the hall and saw a door.

"What's in here?" Sonic asked and tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge, "Shit", it's locked.

Meanwhile, Amy and Espio arrived in a room that had an elevator.

"We can use that elevator to keep going down", Amy said.

As they approached it, a zombie came from under the desk and grabbed Amy, causing her to shriek, so Espio grabbed his pocketknife and stabbed the zombie to death.

"Lets go", Espio said and opened the elevator, he and Amy went to B1F. When the arrived there, the leech man was there and it crept both of them out, so they closed the door quickly, Espio noticed B2F and pressed that and took both down.

Amy and Espio arrived and looked down the hall to see Sonic and Rotor.

"Hey you're down here too", Amy said.

"Amy? Looks like you made it, Espio too, we can't go through here, it's locked", Sonic said.

"Well what now?" Amy asked.

"I guess we gotta-" Sonic was interrupted when a dead body nearby lept up and dashed at Sonic but he shot it in the face.

The shot alerted Ash and he peeked out the door to look down the hallway, and saw the others.

"Oh it's you, come here, Mighty is getting something before we leave", Ash said.

Mighty grabbed some medical supplies and went to the door.

"Ok, down that hall is a door that leads to a boat that will get us-", Mighty was interrupted by Sonic, "It's locked", Mighty hit the wall, "That's right, we need a card key, what do we do?" Mighty asked.

The ceiling vent fell again and the leech monster came down.

"Not again", Sonic said, and everyone went into the room with the chemicals.

"Shit, we need to kill that thing and get it away from us", Ash said.

Mighty looked behind him and saw a door, and remembered what the notepad said.

"Wait, idea, I need someone to come with me", Mighty said.

"I'll do it", Sonic said.

"Great", Mighty went to a freezer drawer and opened it to unveil a blood pack, "Hold this Sonic".

Sonic took the pack and followed Mighty into a temperature room that was in the back of the chemical room.

"What's going on?" Sonic asked.

"A notepad I read stated that leeches hate heat, so since they're attracted by blood, I want you to go in that room and spill the blood, and you'll see the rest", Mighty said.

"Ok, but when is it gonna-" the leech came into the room, "Oh shit".

"Spill the pack!" Mighty said.

Sonic obeyed and spilled the pack then dashed out the way while the leech monster drank up the blood.

"Quick, out the room", Mighty said.

Sonic got out and Mighty activated a switch that heated up the room, the leech zombie started to melt and the body fell.

"Awesome, it's dead", Sonic said.

Mighty noticed something, "Hold on", he activated the cooler and then went into the room and saw that the body dropped a card, "This is the keycard we need to escape", Mighty said.

"Awesome, lets go get the hell out of here then", Sonic said.

Mighty grabbed the card and then went back to everyone else.

"We peeked through the door and saw what you did, nice planning", Tikal said.

"Thank you, Sonic helped as well", Mighty said.

"Just doing my job", Sonic said with a little cocky smirk.

"Lets hurry on out of here", Mighty said.

He and the others went to the door and unlocked it and there was a boat and a way out of there.

"There, it should get us all out, everyone on", Mighty said.

Everyone boarded the boat, it was a bit small but held them nonetheless.

Mighty activated the motor and it sped them all off.

As they sped down the small canal, they saw a sluggish like nest in the distance, and in total shock they all leapt off the boat while it crashed into the nest, causing destruction to the boat.

"Great! Now what!?" Sonic asked.

"Look!" Sally pointed.

A giant leech emerged from flames and progressed toward the group.

"Holy shit!" Ash shouted.

"One thing after another", Amy said.

The thing got closer so Ash, Rotor and Sonic shot it with their weapons.

The creature knocked them both back, but Espio went to it and cut it up with his knife, Amy went and whacked it hard with her crutch, and Sally's pipe did damage as well.

The melee weapons seemed to hurt more than the firearms but they were all still knocked back.

"What do we do?" Tikal asked.

Mighty looked up and saw some valves.

"There's acid in those valves, I wonder, Ash! I need your gun a second!" Mighty said.

"Are you nuts man!?" Ash asked.

"Trust me!" Mighty said.

Ash looked at Mighty, then the leech, then his gun, the reluctantly gave it to Mighty.

While Sonic, Rotor, Sally, Amy and Espio distracted the leech, Mighty shot up at the valve and acid burst and it fell on the leech, killing it.

"Well, at least that's out of the way", Espio said.

"What now?" Amy asked.

"Lets just continue on, we can walk the rest of the way", Mighty said.

As they walked, Mighty had a lot on his mind. 'Terror is a constant companion, it lurks in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment, today it shows me, yet somehow I kept it together in that suffocating hospital, I suppose I should be thankful for that'.
