Summary: AU/ Set just after the end of season three Xander goes on his road trip after Buffy and co break their friendships with him and tell him not to come back, he ends up in Racoon City just before the T-Virus leaks out. He must survive the virus outbreak along with the few other survivors as well as help them survive the vampires and demons that come out to take advantage of the situation.

(Racoon City Outskirts a few hours later)

Hunk looked around as he and his team breeched the city perimeter without any problems and they quickly headed to the sewer entrance that would lead them to the underground lab Birkin and his family were in, they were all armed with sub machine guns and wearing swat gear with breathing masks so they could not be identified.

They quickly located the sewer cover and opened it and headed down with Hunk been the last and he made sure to replace the cover so it would not arouse any attention from the R.P.D, he ordered Carls on point and then took up the rear as they progressed into the sewer heading for the hidden lab. They did not expect too much resistance but they were not going to take any risks with their lives especially if they wanted to get paid for the job and they did not want to bring Umbrella's wrath down on them for failing to succeed in their mission.

The sewer quickly opened up and the team widened their formation, they came to a stop in front of a huge large metal door which Hunk quickly opened after punching in the key code. They were somewhat surprised by the lack of technicians in the lab complex but pressed on to the heart of the structure.

Inside the main room William Birkin looked almost sadly at the monitor which showed the team sent by Umbrella getting closer to their position, he closed his eyes and wished this wasn't happening before he quickly began packing away all the samples of the T and G viruses he had in a metal case. He closed it just as he heard a hum as the door to the room opened and he turned to see the mercenaries rush in with their weapons aimed right at him, he noticed one sample of the G-Virus still on the desk and he grabbed it and hid it in his pocket whilst clutching the case in his other hand

"We've come for the G-Virus doctor" Hunk stated calmly as he eyed the man "Hand it over" he ordered

"You'll never get the G-Virus its mine" William cried grabbing the first thing he could find which turned out to be a microscope and tried to charge them only to be riddled with four bullets in his chest and he fell to the floor coughing up blood unable to do anything but watch as one of the mercenaries grabbed the case and the team departed

"William" Annette cried as she entered the room having been drawn by the sounds of gunfire and was horrified to see her husband on the ground covered in blood clearly showing he had been shot

"They took it" William mumbled as she crouched down next to him and checked his vital signs "But they are not going to get away with it the G-Virus is mine" he said through blood stained teeth before pulling out one of the last samples of the G-Virus he still had and ignoring his wife's stare injected himself with the sample "Send Sherry to the police station" was the last thing William said before he began to mutate

Annette backed away from her husband knowing there was nothing she could do for him now, first he had been shot with lethal accuracy and then had injected himself with the G-Virus which would mutate him into something which was not human. She spun around and ran to her daughter's room intent on getting Sherry away from the lab, she knew in her daughter's necklace there was a sample of the G-Virus hidden in it and it had to be kept safe.

Hunk and his men paused as a furious cry echoed through the sewer system and he noted some of his men began to look around nervously for the source, he himself back off into a shadowed corner of the system and watched as a hulking monster appeared in front of his team. In all of his travels and missions he had never seen anything like this and he was angered to feel a stab of fear before he ruthlessly crushed it and tightened his grip on his weapon and his men began firing some of them were firing almost blindly in their sudden panic to get away from the monster.

The thing that had once been William Birkin attacked the team swiftly quickly cutting down the man who held the metal case and Hunk cursed as it opened and was sent flying , the razor sharp claws of Birkin cut through the swat vests of the team with ease and blood spurted out of them as they were cut down. One of the team tried to run past the beast but was decapitated by a swift blow from the creature, another went down screaming as Birkin punched through his stomach and then crushed two of the team's skulls together and Hunk could actually hear the bones breaking.

He pushed back into the shadows ensuring he was not seen as the last of his team was gutted his blood covering the ground as his body feel jerking widely, he watched as the monster looked around before he crushed the vials of the viruses before he walked away howling his triumph and only when his shadow disappeared did Hunk move out of the shadows. He looked around the blood covered ground and at the bodies of his guttered team before checking the case and almost crying out as he found one intact sample of the G-Virus, he quickly grabbed it and turned and ran not willing to hang around and risk running into the monster again as it was clear regular weapons had no effect on it. In his rush to leave he failed to notice the rats licking up the spilt viruses before they trailed away to look for more food.

In the space of a few hours the rats had spread the virus to people they had either come into contact with or bit driven by a new raw need for flesh, these people quickly became sick and died only for their corpses to rise to hunt down the living driven by the need to feast on living flesh same as the rats that had infected them. As more and more people became infected the body count rose, animals too quickly became infected and mutated attacking anyone who was within reach only those who were locked in their houses were safe for now.

As a new day officially began for Racoon city nearly all of its inhabitants were dead or infected with very few survivors, people had blocked the roads in their attempts to escape and were butchered by the zombies as well as other things that came out of the night. The local demons and vampires of Racoon City had seen what was going on and noted the lack of order and decided to take advantage of it and began to kill people as they came. The police response was valiant but it was quickly overwhelmed and they were slaughtered almost to a man, by five am Racoon City had been culled and turned almost into a ghost town.

Jill and Alex awoke to a City in its death throws, the burning wreckages of cars and buildings alerting them that something had gone horribly wrong and they were in danger. For Jill she believed instantly it was something to do with Umbrella and she was determined not to die here in this City, she dressed in a black mini skirt, a blue tube top and tied a white cardigan around her waist before opening one of her draws and pulling out her spare gun as well as grabbing the shotgun and assault rifle she owned as she knew she would need them before she headed out the door determined to survive and escape Racoon City.

For Alex he was sure this was something demonic and he cursed before dressing and heading out to his car knowing it was useless to him now and opening his trunk he grabbed a shotgun, his SMG with harness and clips and a sidearm before pausing a deciding to take a few stakes as well as his med kit in a backpack just in case before turning and heading into the city hoping he could find Jill before getting out of this City alive.

(Umbrella Headquarters, Europe)

The board entered the room wondering what was so important that they had been recalled so fast, they noted their current head pacing up and down looking nervous and angry

"A few minutes ago an alarm was sounded indicating Racoon City has just been exposed to the T-Virus, the few spies we had there were able to report vast exposure to the population on a scale we had never imagined before we lost all communication with them" the grey haired man began "I have already ordered a quarantine around the city however I have also sensed a opportunity here for us to gain real combat data on the different creatures this virus creates so I am sending the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service team, most of the men will be told they are to rescue survivors however a few will be there to gather data on the creatures and whatever notes and research they can find" he explained "These supervisors will make this disaster worth something I am also sending the nemesis tyrant to locate and kill any S.T.A.R.S members it can find I somehow doubt Jill Valentine is dead, I have also dispatched the

The T-103 tyrant codenamed Mr X to Racoon to hunt down a sample of the G-Virus as we have lost all contact with Hunk and his team" he went on as the board listened in shock

"What of the goverments response to this?" Trent asked keeping his face a mask of calm whilst his stomach rolled at the idea of how many people must have died already or been infected, he also realised this may actually have one good point and it was that the Virus and Umbrella's connection to it would be exposed to the world severly hurting them. He knew Jill Valentine could take care of herself and should be able to escape but just in case he decided to alert the other S.T.A.R.S members of what had just happened

"So far they do not know but that will not last, I am already working on mininising the damage to Umbrella" the grey haired man responded "Hendricks send the U.B.C.S out now after giving the supervisors the real mission" he ordered

"Yes sir" Hendricks replied and left to carry out his ordered wondering if any of the members of the U.B.C.S would actually return alive from such a nightmare

The rest of the board sat still trying to obsorb the news they had just been told, they knew Umbrella was about to go through a very hard period if the truth about the T-Virus came out and all of them began to think of ways to avoid it whilst Trent exsused himself as he had his own plans to put in place.

(Racoon City)

Leon sighed as he finally noted the sign welcoming him to Racoon City, after a long talk with Claire he'd had a nice hot shower and then gone to sleep for a few hours before getting up and heading out. He noted it was quite almost too quite for a city this large as even at this time there should be some sound or movement from people, as he turned into main street he was shocked to see a body in the middle of the road and he quickly pulled over and grabbed his sidearm from his glove box before getting out to investigate.

Claire had also reached Racoon City and was just pulling into a gas station with a diner attached, she was surprised to see it empty or at least it looked empty before she began to fill her tank up before heading in to pay. She did not notice a body come flying out the window on the other side as a man stumbled out and headed towards a truck grumbling under his breath and trying to stem a rather large bite wound on his arm.

Leon moved closer to the body on the floor his senses on full alert, the area seemed to be deserted but he was not going to be caught unaware if he could help it. Looking up and down the street before bending down to check the body he frowned as he found it had no pulse, he turned her head and noted the corpse was that of a middle aged woman and seemed to have been mauled by something with very sharp teeth causing him to frown even more.

A moan to his left caused him to shoot upwards and point his weapon to find a man walking towards him erratically, he too seemed to have been mauled and yet he noted his eyes were milky white and he had blood over his mouth and face

"Stay where you are and get your hands up" he shouted cocking his berretta but the man either did not hear him or just ignored him and continued onwards his moaning the only sound he made "I said stay where you are" he repeated

He suddenly felt something tug his leg and he looked down to see the corpse on the floor was alive and had grabbed his foot and was intending to bite him he quickly jerked his foot away and put a bullet in the woman's head killing her instantly. As he turned back to the man coming towards him he was shocked to see seven more people were heading for him looking to be in the same shape as the first two.

He frowned wondering what the hell was going on before firing three more shots hitting the first man in the chest and leg and yet he did not go down to his shock and he began to back away before turning to run only to pause to find more people coming towards him from that direction realising he was trapped until he saw an alley way and he quickly ran into it.

Claire walked into the diner hoping to pay for her fuel and get going to check out Chris's apartment to see if he was there and if not then to see if he left any clues as to where he was. She quickly noted there was no one around until a noise caught her attention and she walked over to check it out, she found man bent over someone and her first instinct was someone was hurt

"Is everything okay can I help?" she inquired hoping to alert them to her presence

She was shocked and horrified as the man turned in her direction and she noted his mouth was bloody and in his left hand he held what could only be another person's heart, the man's eyes were white and he moaned before shifting in her direction and moving towards her

"Wait don't get up I didn't mean to disturb you" she rambled backing up with her hands held out

The man kept going and suddenly lurched forward grabbing her but she quickly remembered the self defence moves Chris had taught her and through him off her by twisting one of his arms and flipping him down, she looked around and noted another man just like the first coming towards her and the one on the ground was quickly getting back up so she turned and ran towards the back entrance.

Charging straight into the door she was relieved when it opened and she went to rush out only to find someone standing in front of her with a gun pointed at her

"Wait don't fire I'm human" she shouted bringing her hands up in reflex

"Get down" a voice shouted back and only after she heard two gun shots did she realise she had heard it before and she looked up to find she had been right "Leon?" she asked shocked then noted he was wearing a blue police uniform

"Claire" Leon said shocked to see who he had rescued before shaking his head and focusing on the important thing right now "We have to go, we can't stay out here its not safe" he told her as he helped her up "We have to get to the police station" he added

"Then lets go" Claire said hoping he was right but relieved she was not alone in this madness

They ran past multiple zombies easily outpacing them until they came out onto the main street and Leon pointed out a squad car which seemed abandoned and they quickly headed for it and luckily finding it open they got in and took off for the station.

Jill ran through the deserted streets trying to ignore the multiple mangled bodies that litted them, she could see most of them had been bitten by zombies and would soon rise to stalk any survivors. She had been correct Racoon City had been exposed to the T-Virus somehow and nearly everyone was dead, she had encountered a survivor in a warehouse but he had chosen to lock himself inside a truck container he didn't realise this city was doomed and there was no way they could be rescued.

She wondered if Alex had fallen to the virus or had been killed by the zombies, she furiously shook her head and tried to hope he was still alive. It was possible considering she was alive as were a few others, she decided to head to the police station where she could gather some more ammo for her weapons. She ran straight into a bar intending to run through to the back way to shorten the distance she would have to go before coming to a stop amazed to see Brad Vickers trying to fend off three zombies, she had no idea how he had come to be back in Racoon and yet here he was right in front of her.

One of the zombies launched itself forward and managed to bite into his shoulder causing blood to ooze out of the wound before Brad managed to throw it backwards before bringing his own weapon up and shooting each of the zombies in the head before collapsing to the ground clutching his shoulder

"Brad" she said kneeling down "What are you doing back here?" she inquired as she checked the wound knowing it was already too late he had been bitten and that meant he was infected

"I came back for some of my stuff" Brad responded sounding on the verge of panic "Its coming for us Jill, it's after S.T.A.R.S" he stated in a rush his eyes widening

"What is coming what is after us?" she asked as she backed up as Brad pushed himself back to his feet

"You'll see Jill we can't stop it we have to get out of here" he responded his panic becoming more obvious before he turned and ran out the way she had come in before she could stop him

Jill remained where she was wondering what Brad had been talking about, she gripped her assault rifle tighter before looking around the bar and finding a lighter which she picked up as she knew from the mansion incident sometimes any kind of item could be useful before she turned and ran out of the back door continuing on her way to the station

Xander jumped out of the way of the oncoming zombie turned and fired his shotgun deciding to save his SMG ammunition for bigger groups of hostiles, he was pleased to see the round tear through the things heads spilling its blood and brains on the floor. He knew from personal experience that the only way to kill zombies was to either take its head off or cause enough blunt force trauma to it, he stood and continued on his way continuing to think of places Jill would head before he paused as the answer came to him and smiling he turned and headed towards the large police station at the centre of town blowing away another zombie as he went before pausing as a vampire jumped out in front of him and he was relieved he had chosen to bring a few stakes along

"Well what do we have here a blood bag still alive" the vampire said with a grin his mouth Xander noted had dried blood on it and it was clear he had fed recently "I wonder what you think of this wonderful event blood bag, does the smell of death frighten you?" it taunted him

"Actually I'm used to it fang" Xander replied as he put his shotgun back it its holster before drawing one of his stakes catching the eye of the vamp who's smile widened

"So you know what I am" the vampire said as it readied itself to pounce "Met my kind before have you and did you bleed?" it asked

"Yes and they died" Xander answered

He was unsurprised as the vampire jumped at him and thanks to his increase in stamina and agility he managed to side step the attack and turned and lashed out with the side kicked which caught the vampire in the side but it did not stumble and came at with a combination of lefts and rights but he ducked all of them before he dropped to the ground and lashed out managing to take the vampires legs out from under it and then raising his stake he lurched forward and managed to bring it down through the vampires heart dusting it.

He took a breath before standing and shook his head knowing vampires and most likely demons were also running around worried him, something else was clearly responsible for the zombies because an entire city did not become Zombified over night and so far from what he could tell there was going to be very few survivors and he just hoped Jill was one of them before he turned and ran onwards to the station.

Leon sighed as he drove the car towards the police station noting the hundreds of zombies they passed; it looked like the entire city had been overtaken by whatever had happened here, he leaned down and checked the radio only to find it was not responding

"Damn it the radio is out" he cursed as he realised the situation was even worse than he had first thought

"Leon what are you doing here?" Claire asked gaining his attention

"This is my new posting" he replied with a self depicting grin "First day on the job great huh?" he added chuckling a little which she shared "How about you, you never said where you were going?" he asked back keeping an eye on the road

"I'm here looking for my older brother Chris Redfield" Claire responded with a troubled look which he understood she was worried her brother may have ended up like one of these people "He's a member of S.T.A.R.S but something went wrong and I lost contact" she added

"You mean the murders in the mountains and the accusations of the team mishandling the situation don't you?" Leon inquired

"Yes, but I know my brother Leon he would never mishandle such a situation he is devoted to his job and is loyal to his team mates" Claire answered with a shake of her head "Something else has to have been going on it's the only explanation" she added

"I agree, I've been keeping an eye on the whole thing and to me it seems like a lot is been left unsaid and whatever it is it would most likely explain what is really going on" Leon assured her before he jerked the wheel as he took a sharp corner "Hey would you look in the glove compartment" he said as an idea hit him

Claire looked at him for a few seconds before doing as she was told and was surprised but pleased to be find a berretta handgun along with some ammo, she heard Leon tell her to take it just in case she might need it and considering the situation they found themselves in she could not fault his caution

As she leaned back a body lurched from the back of the squad car and grabbed Leon who tried to shake it off jerking the wheel as he did which caused the car to swerve, Claire tried to force the zombie back with the butt of the gun she now held but it had little affect. Finally Leon managed to dislodge it but in doing so the car swerved hard and they went front first into a lamp post which caused the zombie to fly through the window screen and hit its head so hard it the bar pierced its skull.

"Are you okay Claire" Leon asked as he rubbed his shoulder

"I'm in one piece thankfully" Claire responded

She then watched as Leon seemed to lean forward to stare at something before turning and looking out the back window causing her to do the same and she was horrified to see a truck bearing down on them

"That maniac is going to ram us, quick get out" Leon stated as he turned and hurriedly opened his door

Claire quickly mirrored his actions and jumped out of the car before running away from it, she jumped clear just as the truck ploughed right into the squad car blowing them both up in a huge fireball. She stood and turned trying to see Leon through the flames

"Claire, are you alright?" Leon asked

She sighed in relief as she heard Leon's voice feeling a slight wince at the idea of him been killed before she responded

"I'm okay but I can't get to you because of the fire" she shouted

"Head to the station I'll meet you there I promise" Leon replied "And watch your back" he added

"Okay you too Leon" she replied before she turned and ran off making sure her gun was ready to fire and she just hoped Leon made it before she concentrated on her own survival

(Helicopter over Racoon City)

Carlos Oliveira looked out over the burning city and hoped this mission was not going to be long, it looked like the chances of there been survivors was slim to none but still they had to try that was why they were here in the first place. He looked over at Lt. Mikhail Victor his squad leader for this mission who seemed calm and relaxed but that was no surprise he had seen plenty of action before this and next to him was a man who showed no emotion at all and that was Sergeant Nicholai Ginovaef, Carlos was weary of the man but for this mission he was going to have to put up with him.

"Ropes out" someone shouted and Carlos like some of the others through out the ropes they would be using to enter the city

They were not the only team been deployed as he knew five chopers had taken off from base and were headed to different drop points, he and his team were been droped near the centre of town. He prepared to leave the chopper after giving his weapons one more check

"Go" the order came and he and the others all began sliding down the ropes into the city with barely a clue of the nightmare that awaited them

(Racoon City)

Claire continued to run throught he city avoiding zombies where she could and killing them if she had too, she knew she had to coserve her ammo until she had reached the police station so she was careful to try and get a head shot which seemed to put the zombies down for good. Finally she came across the back entrance to the station and ran up the fire stairs onto the roof and headed into the building relieved to find the door unlocked.

A few minutes later a helicopter flew over the station with a pod hooked onto the bottom of it, after lining up with the station the pilot released the hook that held the pod and it went crashing through the roof of the station startling Claire as she made her way through the hall. The helicopter headed out to drop its second pod before leaving as he had been ordered too, the pod suddenly hissed opened and out steppped a huge tyrant its eyes were vacant of any expression and it stood still for a few seconds before it turned and began to walk down the hall.

Jill ducked the swing of the thing she was fighting unsure of what it was, she had unloaded two rounds from her shotgun into it and whilst it had gone down it had just got back up. She had also managed to score a hit in the head but again it stood back up and she was beginning to fear this was some new type of weapon Umbrella had created, it had fangs which kind of reminded her of a vampire but she doubted the T-Virus could create such creatures as she had seen nothing like it at the mansion.

Suddenly the creature lurched forward and managed to knock her to the ground and her weapon was knocked out of her hand, it seemed to smirk at her as it reached down for her before it was suddenly blown away from her by a shotgun blast and she rolled over to see Alex coming towards her with his weapon raised and a grim expresion on his face

"Guns don't kill us mortal" the vampire growled growing tired of been shot as it hurt

"Don't I know it fangface" Xander shot back relieved to find Jill as well as been on time to save her from something she had no idea how to kill

He dropped his shotgun and drew his stake and charged forward managing to catch this vampire by surprise as he not used to humans attacking it, it stumbled back before growling and hitting back. They began to exchange blows before it landed a solid back kick which knocked Xander backwards, taking advantage it jumped only for Xander to catch it and slam it downwards before he brought his stake down and dusted it

"Are you alright Jill?" he asked as he walked over and regained his shotgun before walking over to where she was picking up her berretta

"I am now thanks to you" Jill replied with a smile pleased to see Alex was alive before she leaned up and kissed him in thanks for saving her "What was that thing, it was unlike any zombie I've seen before?" she asked shocking Xander when she mentioned seeing zombies before

"That was a vampire Jill they exsist so do demons" Xander answered praying she did not think he was mad "I learnt the truth a couple of years ago when my best friend was killed by one, she turned him and I was forced to kill him since then I've tried to kill as many as I can whilst saving as many lives as I could" he explained

Jill took all this on board and whilst she wished she could dismiss it as something to do with Umbrella she could not dismiss the pain in Alex's tone as he spoke and she knew he was speaking the truth, this disturbed her just as much as when she learned the truth of what Umbrella was really up too. It also put this whole situation in a brand new light and it also showed surviving it was going to be a lot harder than she had thought

"When did you see zombies before?" Xander asked breaking through her thoughts

"The incident that got me and my team mates fired was caused by Umbrella Alex, they created a virus called the T-Virus which mutated people and animals. It brought the dead back to life as zombies, the mansion where they were experimenting was overun and S.T.A.R.S was sent in to investigate or at least that was what we thought at the time" Jill answered "Bravo team went first but we lost contact so Alpha team was sent to find them only to discover the horrible truth, nearly all of my team mates were killed bar four others, we also learned our captain Albert Wesker was a traitor. He had known what we would find in the mansion and said nothing he also shot Enrico commander of the Bravo team " she continued "Had it not been for a mysterious guy named Trent we may not have made it out of there, first he gave me a load of information concerning the traps and puzzles within the mansion and then he helped Brad locate us with the chopper in time to pull us out as the mansion self destructed" she told him lost in the memories

"You're telling me all this is the result of a virus?" Xander asked shocked and horrified and more than a little angry and when Jill nodded he felt a fire ignight with him "And I thought vampires and demons were bad" he mumbled "To think people caused all this and for what?" he inquired already certain he knew the reason

"Money and power what else" Jill spat in distaste "The virus is part of Umbrella's biological weapons program, it most likely generates huge cash sums for them so they don't care of the costs of things like this" she added "They destroyed S.T.A.R.S or corrupted them, we had a whole network in the U.S but most of them sold out to Umbrella and tried to kill us, the few who did not are part of the underground to destroy Umbrella and it is growing Alex" she told him looking him in the eye

"Those friends you were going to meet were the S.T.A.R.S suvivors right, you were going hook up and help them try and take down Umbrella?" Xander asked with new insight and a huge measure of respect

" Yes I was, the survivors of the mansion are in europe bar Brad who strangely I saw in Racoon a few minutes before" Jill answered "It might be a differcult task Alex but it needs doing before this happens in other cities where Umbrella lurks in the shadows" she told him with commitment

"Then you just got some help because I won't turn my back on this I can't" Xander said "I've been looking for something to commit too since I was betrayed by my friends and this is something that certainly needs doing so count me in if we survive this Jill" he explained

Jill stared at him for a few minutes before she smiled kissed him again pleased by his response before she turned and headed onwards to the station with Xander close behind covering the rear, she was certain Chris might be a bit weary of Alex when or should she say if they met but she was sure Alex was a good guy. He seemed genuinly horrified by what Umbrella had done which is why she had told him so much, and he had told her some truths as well truths that still disturbed her but she would not allow it to distract her right now

Across the other side of the city the U.B.S members were been overun by the zombies, they were just too many of them and they came out of everywhere either catching them off guard or hitting them from behind as they fired on another target. Carlos, Mikhail, Nicholai and the last three survivors of their squad were falling back towards a cable car and its near by station when five zombiefied dogs came round the corner and charged them.

They all fired their assault rifles catching three of the dogs in their sights killing them but the other two leaped forward and brought down two of the men and ripped into their throats before the others could do anything about it their blood ran over the ground as they both gave a gurgle before they died. Mikhail quickl resighted his weapon and shot one of the dogs whilst Carlos pulled his sidearm and took care of the other, they moved forward again only for three zombies to jump them from a nearby walkway.

The middles zombie tore into Jason brighting clear into his neck while gauging his hands into the mans stomach causing him to drop his weapon and he screamed as he was brought down, Mikhail was also bitten but he managed to push it backwards and shoot the zombie in the head as Nicholai shoved his combat knife into the other zombies head as it got back up from killing Jason. Carlos looped his arm around Mikhail who was now leaning against the wall

"Sergant we have to get off the street and tend to Mikhail's wounds" he shouted with some urgentceny

"Head for the cable car" was all Nicholai would say

He was a surpervisor and he knew the real reason they were here but he still needed men to fight off the zombies whilst he completed his real mission so he would help Carlos tend to Mikhail for now but later on they would not be needed and then he could take care of them. He already have a plan to make himself a very rich man that he would no longer need to do this kind of work and he wanted to get started on it

Leon ran hard through the back streets of the city heading for the station as quickly as he could, he was worried about Claire and how the hell they were going to escape this nightmare they had wondered into. He paused as came a small basket ball court and shot two zombies in the head as they came towards him, he tried not to retch at the smell that enimated from the bodies.

He jumped over the skip in front of him before running down another alley again pausing to shoot the zombies in front of him before realising he had to be careful to conserve his ammo so he ran past the last one feeling real fear as the zombie tried to grab him but he made it past and out of the alley towards a ruined bus which was blocking the street so he pushed open the door and ran in and through jumping over the zombie on the floor and out of the other side and towards the stations west gate.

Xander followed Jill into the stations main gate pleased to see what looked like a stable holding place whilst they planned their next moves, they turned as someone ran towards them from the west side and turned to see a young cop with his gun quickly pointed at them

"Who are you?" Jill asked surprised to see anyone still alive from the police force

"Names Leon Kennedy one of the new recruits for the S.P.F" the cop replied slowly lowering his weapon relieved to see other people

"I'm Jill Valentine former S.T.A.R.S and this is Xander" Jill introduced herself and Alex

She was impressed the rookie was still alive as the members of the select police force had not been tested much since Irons had created them to replace the defunct S.T.A.R.S unit; obviously Leon knew how to handle himself and how to survive

"Nice to meet you but we better get inside before more zombies come plus Claire should of arrived by now and if she hasn't I'll have to go look for her" Leon said walking closer

"Who is Claire?" Jill inquired with a sinking feeling in her gut

"Claire Redfield sister of Chris also of S.T.A.R.S she came to find him when he vanished and considering what's going on here it seems likely as to why he did" Leon answered

"Damn it" Jill swore, she had warned Chris not to keep Claire in the dark but he had not listened and now his little sister was in Racoon city during an outbreak of the T-virus "Chris is alive but he isn't in Racoon right now, she's come for nothing" she added "We have to make sure she's okay so lets"

Jill's sentence was cut off as the gates to the station were pushed open and they all turned to see a bloody figure stagger in, he seemed tired but scared out of his wits

"Jill" the man cried as he noticed them "Its here" he shouted as he ran towards them

"Brad, what happened?" Jill replied noting Brad seemed more alarmed that he had when she had bumped into him before

Just as he came near them something dropped down between them and Jill backed up in shock as did Leon and Xander both raised their weapons at the hulking creature as it roared before approaching Brad who quickly tried to back peddle

"S.T.A.R.S" the creature roared before rushing forward and grabbing Brad by his head and easily lifting him off the floor as he cried and tried to dislodge the things grip with little success

They all watched as suddenly the back of Brads head seemed to explode as a tentacle tore through him sending blood and brain matter over the floor Jill looked away in dismay as another of her team mates was killed by the virus made creatures even one she still harboured anger towards for abandoning them at the mansion he had not deserved this end.

"Run, we can't fight this thing with the weapons we have" Xander ordered as he grabbed Jill and made her turn her attention back to the present as the creature send Brad's body flying and began to head for them

They ran towards the stations main entrance praying it was unlocked, Leon reached it first and swung it open in time for Xander and Jill to jump inside and he quickly entered and slammed the door shut with Xander's help and slamming the lock in place. They backed away as the creature banged on the door for a few minutes before it seemed to go away and they all breathed a sigh of relief

"What the hell was that thing?" Xander asked off balance from what he had just witnessed

He had seen a lot of awful things but seeing that guys head been ripped apart had been one of the worst, he doubted if he survived this he would easily forget that. Jill seemed very shaken at seeing her team mate die so he pulled her into a hug which she gladly fell into as she fought to regain her composure whilst Leon was looking around the station noting the layout

Claire ran from the huge monster she had encountered in one of the rooms, she didn't know where it had come from but it seemed far more dangerous than any of the others she had encountered, jumping into open room she was relieved to find a grenade launcher on the floor next to the mutilated body of a police officer who seemed to have had his face ripped in half.

She managed to fight off the urge to be sick by remembering the incoming danger and she grabbed the launcher making sure not to look at the body if she could, she checked it and was happy to find it loaded then turned and aimed it at the door and waited. A few seconds later the huge monster stalked into the open doorway and she opened fire catching it in the chest and was shocked when it did not go down, it seemed to groan and then approached her again so she opened fired three more times hitting it in the head once and watched as it began to rock to the side so she shot it again in the head and watched as it fell to the ground and stayed motionless.

She jumped over it and ran hoping she had managed to kill the thing as did not want to have to come up against that again if she could help it but for now she could forget it and concentrate on finding Leon who should be here by now. She turned a corner and ran into a hallway that led to a long flight of stairs and she ran down them pausing only to nail two zombies at the bottom, as she took the last step something grabbed her from behind and she reacted instantly lashing out with her elbow she managed to shake it loose and turned to find another zombie coming back at her but instead of wasting her ammo she turned and ran into the next room.

She leaned back against the door and sighed wishing this was not happening before pressing on, she noted she was in weapons rooms and quickly rooted around for some ammo to her berretta which she found in a near by locked. She also found a shoulder bag for her grenade launcher so she could keep it before she pressed on deciding to check the rest of the station for Leon before coming back for more weapons

Leon began to check the station followed by Jill and Xander, Jill had easily pushed what had happened to Brad away to focus on more pressing maters first of which was to find Claire. Jill knew how important his sister was to Chris how close they were since their parents had died and she would be damned if she would allow her to be killed here so she focused on finding her instead of what had happened to Brad. As they neared the far end door it opened and they all pointed their weapons only to relax as Claire stepped in she paused and began to bring her gun up only to relax when she noted who was in front of her

"Leon" she said her relief and happiness at seeing him alive was easy to see by the others as she rushed forward and hugged him and Leon returned it surprised by how worried he had been about his new friend

"Glad you're okay Claire" Leon said with a sigh tightening the hug for a minute before releasing it "I find some survivors including a colleague of your brothers" he said finally releasing her and nodding to Jill

"Hey Claire its good to see you again I just wish it was not in such dire circumstances" Jill said hugging the girl having met her quite a few times whilst she was visiting Chris

"Jill where is Chris is he okay?" Claire asked happy to see a familiar face and someone who may know where her brother was

"Chris is fine Claire, he went to Europe to try and stop the people who are responsible for what's happened to Racoon City" Jill answered "I told him to tell you but you know how stubborn he is" she added with a shake of her head

"Damn it you'd think he'd know better by now" Claire said annoyed buy her brothers actions "So who is responsible for this?" she asked turning to other matters as she now knew her brother was at least safe

"Umbrella" Jill answered "They created a virus which causes everything you have seen so far and more that you haven't, these things wiped out nearly the entire S.T.A.R.S division except for me, Chris, Rebecca, Brad and Barry and Brad just got killed by something that looked like a tyrant but much more powerful" she explained

"Now some things make sense about the whole business with the mansion why so much seemed left unsaid or unchecked they were covering up everything by blaming you weren't they?" Leon said catching on quickly

"Yes, they've either corrupted some of the other S.T.A.R.S teams in the states or destroyed them" Jill answered "Some of them have joined with us to bring Umbrella down the rest have just retired or gone into hiding, Chris was trying to protect you Claire by not contacting you or bringing you to Umbrella's attention as someone they could use against him" she told them the last bit just to Claire to make sure she was not too angry with her brother's choice

"I know but he could have find another way of telling me what was going on or that he was at least alright so I wouldn't worry" Claire argued and noted Jill seemed to agree with her

"Not to put a damper on the reunion we need to plan how to get out of here" Xander finally interrupted them "We can't stay here that thing will most likely find a way in, it's clear not many people have survived this virus and those that have will be picked off not just by the creatures but the vampires and demons in the area so we have to move but first maybe we should locate some more weapons and ammo from the stocks here" he told them

"Demons, vampires you're kidding right?" Leon asked with wide eyes

"I'm afraid not Leon both are very real and this entire situation has given them free reign to attack and kill any survivors they find, I just saved Jill from a vampire she most likely would have been killed by unless she got a lucky hit that took its head off" Xander explained noting Leon and Claire both looked to Jill who nodded that what he had said was the truth "If you come cross a vampire the only way to kill it is to stake it in the heart with a sharp piece of wood or take its head off as for demons heavy arms fire will work other wise just run" he informed them

"How do we tell them apart from the other things in this city?" Claire deciding to take him at his word considering how serious he looked asked feeling a chill run down her spine at what they were discussing

"Deformed faces, yellow eyes and fangs is a dead giveaway so stay alert as for demons doesn't matter I think fighting most of these things would be a bad idea so we should not engage them unless we have to" Xander answered

"You're right Alex we have to keep moving" Jill agreed as she turned to him "The question is which root do we take out of here?" she asked

"Perhaps we should split up into teams of two and search this place for a way out" Leon suggested as he began to check his weapon "As well as procure weapons and other items we can use to aid us" he added

"I'm not too sure that is wise Leon if we get separated how do we find each other again?" Jill argued "Maybe we should stick together" she put in

"I think Leon has the better idea Jill as we can cover more ground that way however we need a way to stay in contact so until we find some radios or some mobiles I think we should stick together we can split up later" Xander shot back as he loaded his shotgun

"Okay then lets get going" Claire said and headed for one of the doors followed by Jill with Xander and Leon bringing up the rear
