Annabelle tossed as she flutters her eyes open, finding herself in the tall building, she the saw a man hovering over her ready to inject her with something. She catches his arm and held the needle back, then in one quick move, she was behind him, in a headlock and held the needle at his throat. "Let him go! Let him go now!" a man order as the other survivors pointed their guns at her. "Where am I? How I get in here? Where's my partner?" she questions him. "Put it down or we'll shoot!" a woman shouts at her. "You shoot then he dies!" Annabelle shouts at them. Then the man fired at the ground then points his gun back at Annabelle. "I told you were wrong, Doc. I told you!" the man shouts. "Calm down, Christian." Doc tells him as Annabelle looks around the room.
She then points Alice as she was being held back, "We should've killed them when we had the chance!" Christian shouts, "Let her go!" Annabelle orders them as she pressed the needle closer to Doc's throat. "Put it down, please. Before he shoot the both of us." he asks Annabelle, "I'm not putting any down until my friend is standing right next to me and what the hell were you about to inject me with." she growls at him. "Pure adrenaline. I needed you awake." Doc answers her. She just chuckles. "You don't want me when I'm that high on adrenaline, trust me on that." she warns him and Alice broke free and ran over to Annabelle. "Why did you need me awake?" she questions him. "There's something coming, something big. In the same direction you and your friend came from." he answers her, Annabelle looks over at Alice. "He must be talking about the horde." she whispers to her. Alice nods at her.
Then two people step in with their guns aim at the two, "Put it down!" the woman orders him. "Drop it or you'll get a hole in your head." a man calls out. The two look over at them and it was Claire Redfield and Jacob Tates. "Holy shit." Jacob said in surprise as he lowers his gun. "No fucking way." Annabelle said in surprise, lowering the needle. Alice smiles and pop her eyebrows up at them. "Alice. Annabelle." Claire whispers as she lowers her gun as well.

On top of the building Alice and Annabelle walk with Claire and Jacob as they was to the edge that overlooked the city. "Umbrella captured me at the Arcadia. We were headed somewhere called the Hive. Got loose. Killed the pilot. Crashed here." Alice states as the two looked at her. "Doc and the other pulled me from the crash. I owe them my life." Claire states as she looks through her binoculars. "And you?" Alice asks Jacob as the two look at him.
He exhales and leans against the railings next to Annabelle, "When everything went down at Washington, Annabelle got us and the others into a jeep and we drove away as far as we could go. Luke, Carlos, Jill, Ada, Barry, Leon, Becky, and I were all came back here, we thought we could be save and we were, then we stumbled upon doc and his little gang and they took us in." he informs them. Annabelle exhales as she leans against the bars, running her hands through her hair and Jacob just rubs her back. "Doc!" Duke calls out and he looks at him. "There, to the East." he states and Doc looks over to the East side. "Still heading our way." he states and Annabelle raises her head and then stood up as she looks at the East side. "You know what it is?" Claire asks them. Annabelle and Alice exchanged looks. "Anne?" Jacob asks her, she exhales and looks at him. "Hordes of Zombies are being lead here." she answers him. He looks at her in surprise. "Hordes? Who's leading them here?" he asks her again.
Then she looks over at Alice. "Umbrella. Dr. Isaacs." she answers him, Claire looks at her in surprise as Annabelle grips the bars tightly for balance. "I thought you and Annabelle killed him." she states and Alice nods. "I thought so, too." she states and she then looks at the others. "He had an army of undead with him. he'll be here within hours." Alice warns them. Then Leon steps out and looks at the two newcomers. Annabelle turns and looks at him. He looks at her in surprise then marches up to her and wraps his arms around her tightly. "I thought I never see you again." he mutters as she just smiles. "Me either." she mutters the he pulls back as she looks at him. "Leon, listen to me. Hordes of undead are coming. Isaacs is leading them to Raccoon." she warns him.
He was taken back by her warning, "But, didn't you kill him in Nevada?" he asks her, she shook her head. "It was his clone. We killed his clone." she states as she just pants. He ran his hand over his head and looks back at her, "Okay, so what do we do?" he asks her. "Why the hell are you asking her?" Christian questions and Leon just glares at him. "She and her friend are strangers." he states, cocking his gun and aims it at her head. "We should have..." he went to say, but before anyone could intervene, Leon grips his arm tightly, twist it, making him groan in pain. Christian then drops the gun and Leon karate chop his shoulder, making him stumble back and grip his arm tightly. Then Doc went to see to him, but he just jerks back. "Don't you touch me, Doc!" he shouts, "Hey, Hey, hey!" Claire calls out as Jacob pulls out his gun as Duke raises his gun as well. "Put it down, Christian!" Duke orders him. "You put it down!" Christian shouts at him as he picks his gun back up and pulls out his other one, aiming it at the others.
Then Jacob steps forward. "That's enough, Christian!" he shouts at him. "Hey, hey. Look at me." Doc states and Christian looks at him. "Just because you think you should be in charge, doesn't make it so. Just- hey." he states and Christian just looks at the others. "You listen to me, Doc. You're going to regret it, all of you!" he shouts at them "All of you. All of you." he calls out then lowers his guns and steps away. Jacob exhales and places his gun back. Then Annabelle looks down at her watch and saw that had 12 hours left. "Shit, we have to get to the Hive." she states as the other looked at her "And you have to get these people out of here before that Horde hits." Annabelle warns them. Then Doc turns back to them and shook his head. "We have children here, injured, elderly. What chance do they have on the open road?" he asks her. "Better than here." Alice states. "This fortress is secured." Duke informs them. But Annabelle shook her head. "You don't understand, there's more than just the horde coming, there are war tanks, armed with turrets, missile launchers. If the undead can't tear this place down. Then those will." she states as she raises her voice.
Then started to cough, "That's my we have to... we have to evacuate..." her coughing became violent and she went to her knees, covering her mouth as she cough. "Anne!?" Jacob calls out as he steps closer to her and Leon went to her side and picks her up in his arms. "Doc." he states "Bring her this way." he orders, then Alice, Jacob, and Claire followed after Leon who was carrying Annabelle in his arms. Christian just glares at the two as the left the room.
~8~8~8~
Annabelle laid on an operating chair, Leon by her side as he grips her hand, Jacob pacing at the door, making her no one would come in and Alice had her hand placed on Annabelle's shoulder. "So what happened to her?" Claire asks Doc as he wipes up a remenity. "She was hit by one of the traps we had on the perimeter. Not intended for the undead." Doc answers her, Annabelle exhales as her healing factor was kicking in, and resetting her bones back to normal.
She then looks up at Doc as he steps over to her and held out a small glass that had liquefied medicine inside. "Here, drink this. you'll be back on your feet in no time." he informs her, she looks at the glass then back at him. "And why should I trust you?" she questions him, he looks over at Alice, who had the same suspicions as Annabelle, so he pulls the glass back and took a small sip and pulls the cup away. And drinks it.
She looks up at him as he offered it to her again, she exhales then took the cup from him and drinks it all down. Then Duke walks inside. "Doc, you need to get out of here. People are scared and Christian is not helping, plus that agent woman is on her way here, she got wind of our two new arrivals. You need to let people know what's happening." Duke informs her and Doc nods at him. "Okay." he mutters and then he steps out of the room as another steps in. it was Ada Wong as she was wearing a tank-top and pants with Annabelle's blade on her back, followed by Jill, Luther, Carlos, Chris, and Barry. "Where is she?" she questions Doc.
He points to the chair and she marches over to Annabelle and then wraps her arms around her. "You're okay." she mutters and Annabelle smiles at her. "Nice to see you too, sis." she mutters then Doc turns to Claire and exhales "I've got to go." he tells her then took his things, but she grips his side "Hey, your friend's gonna be okay." he informs her then kisses her, Jacob rolls his eyes as she then closes his arms and looks away. Leon places his on his shoulder, he then pulls back, smiles and walks away. Then Claire walks over and sat down next to Annabelle as Ada was behind the chair, resting her hands on the head of the chair as the others step over to them. "So how did you get here?" Carlos asks them.
Alice looks over at him, "By car then by tank, then by bike." she answers him, then Annabelle forces herself up. Leon helps her sit up as well as Ada did. "We don't have much time, we have to get into the Hive before it's too late." she mutters. "What's in the Hive?" Claire asks her, she looks at her and pants. "A cure. An airborne antivirus that can wipe out the zombie population and end the apocalypse. Anything that has been infected with the T-Virus will die on contact." she informs her as she looks at the others. "And told you of this?" Ada asks her as she steps around next to Alice. "The Red and White Queen." Alice answers her and everyone looks at them in shock. "Are you crazy?" Jill questions them "And you believed her?" Claire states as she stood up and Ada took her places. "Of course I don't believe her, but what if it really does end all of this." Annabelle states.
Then Leon kneels down next to her, "Anne, you're infected with the T-Virus. Both you and Alice." he informs her and she looks at him, "I know." she mutters and he looks at her in shock. "If you release this air virus, it will the both of you." Claire informs them and Annabelle sigh. "What ever it takes." Alice states as both of them already accepted their fate. "Alice, I'm not..." Claire states. "Anne, you can't possibly." Leon states and she grips the sides of his neck. "Leon, you know there is no other way." she tells him and he just looks at her. The others exchanges looks as Claire turns away from them. Annabelle looks at her then forces her legs off the chair and Ada helps her stand on her feet. "Claire..." she calls out to her. She exhales and turns to her. "Alright. We stops Isaacs here. We save these people and then we go." she states and looks at the others. "Together." she tells them.
They all looked at each other then back at her, "We were there for the beginning of this crisis and we will see it through to the end." she tells them and Alice looks at her watch. "We don't have long. Let's get to it." Alice tells them and they nodded at each other.

The gate was lowered and then Annabelle, Alice, Leon, Jacob, Ada, Doc, Duke, Claire, and Christian steps out and walks forward. "What else do you have for defenses?" Alice asks Claire. "Not too many firearms, and a big supply of gasoline." Claire informs her, then pull out a three barrel shotgun as Ada unstraps the sword from her back. "Here. you need a weapon." Claire tells her and handed her the shotgun. "Anne, for you." Ada states and offers her, her sword. "She missed your touch." she states, Annabelle smiles and took back her sword. Then pulls it out for a moment and heard her sing.
She smiles and places it back and straps it back on her back. "It feels good to have her again." she states, Leon smiles at her and took her hand, she looks at Leon and smiles at her. "We're giving them weapons now?" Christian questions and Leon shot him a glare, "Let it go, honey." Annabelle tells him as she didn't want to fight. "Take it easy, Christian." Duke informs him as Jacob rolls his eyes at him."You can't let your guard down if you want, man. I don't intend to." he informs him as Alice, Claire, Jacob, Ada, Leon and Annabelle stop. Jacob have Annabelle a gun, she takes it and places it on her under-belt as Claire have Alice an ammunition belt and she places it on her shoulder. "When Annabelle and I rode in here, someone was watching us. They could of called out or fired a shot to warn us about the trap but they didn't." Alice informs them as she reloads the gun.
Leon, Jacob and Claire look at her, "What are you saying?" Claire asks her as Alice clicks the barrels back on "Watch your back." she answers her and walks back to the gate. "A traitor in our mist. How predicable of Umbrella." Ada states as she crosses her arms. "Let's just keep that between us. We don't want to give them the heads up." Annabelle answers of them as Jacob have her a knife and she places it in her boot. "A logical decision." Ada states and Annabelle just shook her head.

The two tanks were rolling down the road with the horde of zombies chasing after them. Isaacs sat in the chair as he looked drained. Then a call came in. "So Dr. Isaacs. It seems you let both Alice and Annabelle slip though your fingers or what reminds of them." Wesker jokes with a smile on his face. "Don't forget who you're talking to. Where are they?" Isaacs questions him.
Wesker then loses the smile. "A settlement in Raccoon City. Our informant informs that she's preparing for a fight. Along with Leon Kennedy, Jacob Tates, Barry Burton, Luther West, Carlos Oliveira, Jill Valentine and Ada Wong, all alive and accounted for." Wesker informs him. Isaacs just sighs at him and shook his head and exhales. "Good. I'll be there in the hour." he informs him then ends the call. He then pulls himself up walks over to a mirror cabinet, opens it and pulls out one of his holy knives, grips it tightly on his hand and then places it in the sheath.

Back at the settlement everyone was getting ready as they were rolling the barrels. "That's it keep moving!" Kim shout as she directs the machine "We need all the gasoline cans over there." Claire calls out. Alice then walks out to Kim. "Claire said you build this thing." she informs her.
Kim looks at her as nods "That's right. This use to be a window washer. I made a couple of changes." she informs her. "Where did you learn to do that?" Alice asks her. "My dad used to run a chop shop. I hated it." Kim answers and Alice chuckles a little. "Who knew? I guess I was paying attention after all." Kim states and Alice smiles. "Good, cause I'm going to need you to make a few more changes to this thing." Alice informs her and Kim just smiles at her.

Anna was able to get all the spray cans gathered and she places them in a bag, then she three that bag over her shoulder, she then issued orders out to the others and they hurried. She then walks around the settlement getting to the front gate, but then was stop by Christian. She exhales and looks over to the side. "What do you want?" she questions as he crosses his arms "You think you have everyone fooled, but you don't. I know you're up to something." he states and pushes himself off the wall. "Really, whatever gave that away?" she said sarcastically.
He glares at her, "You think that you have everyone believe that you're here to save us, you know what I think?" he circles as she tilts her head to the other side. "No, Christian. I don't know what you think." she states as she was already bored. "You're here to send us to are graves, But will get you before you get us." he warns her, but she just tilts her head back and looks at him. "Listen, I don't have time for your suspicions or your threats, I have to go make the markers." she states, then marches at him, making him back up. "And I am running out of time and do not need it to be wasted on you." she reports and he slams his back against the wall. "I am going to stop Umbrella no way or another, so don't get in my way." she warns him then marches off. Christian just exhales and looks over as she saw Leon leaning against the wall, with his arms crossed and a proud smile on his face then he shrugs at him. "My wife hates it when people get in her way." he informs him.
Christian pulls his eyes and places his hands on his hips as Leon then walks after Annabelle then took a hold of her hand.
