Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Soldiers and Survivors. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Resident Evil; Capcom and a few others do.
(1998, September 30th, Racoon city)
"Crap…" Marcus muttered as the alarms went off, Claire grabbed a Grenade launcher and ammo for it as Marcus grabbed a pair of grenades, 3 flashbacks and more ammo.
"What? Nobody is coming to turn them off and you just said we're need the ammo." Claire stated; the sounds of growling cut them off as Marcus sighed.
"Because the Zombies are going to come in here and I think Warrior just found out where we are, Claire… Grab every bullet and weapon you can, we have to move." Marcus muttered, making sure his rifle was full and ready for combat.
Marcus opened the door and was greeted by a horde of Zombies; he tossed a grenade out and closed the door.
A thump was heard and Marcus opened the door to see all most of the dozen Zombies were gone.
"Grab anything you don't think will slow you down and let's go, longer we stay, the longer we're in danger… This entire city has been overrun. Damn it, this is a nightmare." Marcus muttered as he leaned on the door, Claire grabbed the grenade launcher and slung it over her shoulder.
"Ready?" Marcus asked, he'd find something better down the road, his rifle and pistol were all he needed.
Besides, the more weapons he carried, the more he'd be slow down, best to keep it light and not loaded down.
"Yeah." Claire said as Marcus led them out, he turned to Claire.
"You want to find your brother; we look for something here. S.T.A.R was the best of the RPD, they would have something here… But we need to be sneaky, taking down every one of these walking horror movie rejects might seem smart, but it will run our ammo down fast… And I doubt you can rip these things apart with your bare hands." Marcus said with a chuckle and Claire shot down the hall.
"We need to find a way to the lower levels, but I'm going to warn you… There's going to be a lot of Zombies between us and that part of the Police Station… You ready for that?" Marcus asked, Claire nodded and Marcus motioned with his head.
"Ok… Follow me, keep an eye out for Warrior, he's the only thing here I don't think bullets and bombs are going to cut it." Marcus put in, both walked down the stairs and into one of the downstairs rooms.
"So… You dealt with Zombies before?" Claire asked as Marcus looked around the corner, he was sure there was a puzzle they had to deal with to reach the S.T.A.R wing. They always were secretive.
"You have any idea on how to get into the S.T.A.R part of the station?" Claire asked, Marcus turned and shook his head.
"No, not even S.W.A.T like me knows how to get there… All I know is it's the most protected part of the station… Which means there's either a secret door… Or there's something crazy puzzle to get to that wing…" Marcus said before he turned to Claire.
"You think Warrior is going to leave us alone? I don't want to run around the station with a crazy super monster with a minigun chasing us around." Marcus asked, he sighed and looked at the door before he turned and followed Claire.
"I don't think Warrior is going to find us here… But if he does, we can't deal with him, we're going to have to run." Marcus said as Claire turned to look at him.
"You don't think we can handle him like the others?" Claire asked, Marcus shook his head and leaned his rifle on his shoulder and looked at her through his helmet.
"No, I saw this thing rip through a squad of cops without flinching and it's smart enough to…." Marcus started to say before he felt slobber on his head.
He looked up to see a creature that was all pink and had a hulking brain on its head.
"Oh… Crap…" Marcus muttered before the creature leapt down and Marcus fired at it, it lunged and slammed into him.
Marcus crashed to the ground as the creature reared its hand back before Claire jabbed her knife into its back.
Marcus tossed the creature into the window as it scrambled to its feet. He grabbed a piece of glass and then was forced to dodge a whip of the creature's tongue.
"What the hell?" Marcus asked before the creature lunged again. Marcus stabbed the shard through the creature's chin and let it crash to the ground.
"Thanks, Claire. I've seen them before… We called them Lickers… Their fast, you shouldn't underestimate them… And they take a lot of damage to keep down…" Marcus said before tossing Claire her knife.
Both heard the roar of zombies and continued to look for the wing in question.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out there won't be any puzzles in RE2, but after the game there will be. I also want to point out Mr. X isn't going to be in this arc since Warrior is taking his place. Next chapter will be on next Friday or so and will show Marcus and Claire finding the S.T.A.R wing. Until then, Lighting Wolf out
