Four: The Rescue
Jason looked out the window of the S.R.T.'s transport helicopter as they flew over the airport terminal and toward their destination: the roof. He looked over at Leon as he pulled out his handgun and began to check it as he slid in a fresh clip.
"Those who are infected with this virus will go on to attack any people, without exception" He looked from them back to his gun. "In any cases, those who have been bitten become infected and go on to attack others. The only way to stop the spread of the infection is to destroy the person's brain".
Angela looked at him strangely. "Destroy their...brain?".
Leon looked at the three of them seriously. "Shoot them in the head".
A look of uneasy was passed between Angela and Greg, Jason however was excited as the spotlight came on, shining down on their destination. In a few minutes he would be going straight into hell. Jason had always enjoyed the thought of going into a city infested with zombies ever since he had been a child, growing up on watching 'Night of the Living Dead', and reading trashy novel's about how certain people had made it through the disaster barely. It was different with him though.
He was a trained professional and if it was one thing he knew how to do, it was survive.
Two by two, they slid down the dual rappelling lines anchored to the body of the helicopter. Jason stepped closer to the opening, squinting against the whipping wind to see where they'd be landing. Their 'copter cast a long shadow in the late-day sun, and he could see the others on the ground, lining up by the door that lead into the building.
Then it was his turn, he stepped out a second after Greg, the thrill of the practical free fall sending his stomach to his chest. A blurr of passing sky, and he touched down, unhooking from the line, and hurrying to where the others stood. A few minutes ater, they were all down. Almost in unison, the transport 'copter swung west, and buzzed away, it's noise fading as dust settled around the assembled troops.
Jason aimed his M4 in front of him as the five of them slowly walked towards the back door of the station. When they neared the door Jason watched as Leon placed his hand in the air signaling for them to stop. He pushed the door open with the barrel of his handgun and then walked in. Anglea, Greg and then himself following in behind him.
The four of them tactically manuvered around the stair case as they slowly descended to their destination, it didn't take long for them to reach the door they were looking for and took their stances at the door. On the count of three, Leon pushed the door open, Jason and Angela going in first, Leon right behind them and lastly came in Greg. The lights on the bottom of their guns illuminated the hallway they had just came too, Jason looked to his right as Leon placed his hand up to signal something which was immediately shot down by Greg as he walked past him, emitting a grunt as he gave Leon a look of complete irritance.
As they continued down the empty and eerily quiet hallway, they came to the spot where the stairs led down to the lower floors. Angela motioned over to Greg to do something that Jason didn't quite umderstand, followed by Greg shaking his head in cowardice and then a low pitiful moan emitted from somewhere up ahead.
"The song of the infected" Leon muttered as he shook his head. Angela looked at him and then her and Jason took off down the hallway to where the sound had originated. Jason looked behind him at Leon and Greg as they rounded the corner. "Wait!" Leon shouted as Greg grabbed his shoulder but Leon put a swift elbow to his chest and then ran after them.
When Jason and Angela arrived at the room, they entered the room much more silently than they had come, there was a lot of shadows in the room which built up to his ever lasting thought of something coming out at them and devouring one of them.
Cut it out...you're not fifteen.
He looked over at Angela as she knelt next to a man who seemed to be hurt.
"Jason, over here!" Angela called to him as she helped the man up. "Are you okay? Take it easy, help is on the way".
Jason was about to tell her to drop the man cause he was one of them, then when the man lunged towards her, Angela was yanked back by Leon as the dead guy missed his target and fell to the floor.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Angela asked in shock.
"Look" Leon whispered as he checked their surroundings.
That's when he noticed it, they were in a room full of those fucktards, the exact ones like that woman that had nearly killed him. About a dozen or so dead people began to stand up around the room, each with their mind set on seeing the blood spew from their forms, to turn them into the same type of killing machine they were.
Leon looked around in shock. "This...can't be good".
"Son'va…" Jason stood up, transfixed.
More began popping up all over the cart. Angela whipped up her Beretta, aiming all around.
"What the hell's going on?" she asked.
Leon pushed Angela and Jason back as he took aim at the man Angela had been trying to help and fired a round cleanly into his forehead. Jason was face to face with the man he had shot before. Aiming his semi-auto at his chest, he emptied the rest of the clip into his chest.
And the fight began.
Angela turned left and pumped a man full of holes. It collapsed. Jason reloaded and opened up on the crowd, not aiming at anyone in particular, just firing, and hoping they would go down.
"I'M WARNING YOU, STAY BACK!" Jason screamed, as a man stalked toward him. When the warning fell on deaf ears, he fired once-twice-three times, and the guy fell.
The bodies of those already shot had a bad habit of getting back up and coming back at them. It was bedlam.
"WHY THE HELL AREN'T THEY DYING?" shouted Angela, reloading again.
"Aim for the heads!" Leon said as he began to make them drop like flies.
Jason was preoccupied with the guys that were blocking their route back to the way they'd came. His M4 was pissing out lead, empty shells hitting the floor, but they shrugged them off and approached the commando.
"DIE, YOU FUCKERS!" he screamed, aiming at the heads. He let off another burst and three went down. This time, there was no movement."They don't seem to like getting hit in the head!".
"Angela!" Greg called from the door they had come in.
Jason looked over to see Greg standing at the door, motioning for them to hurry their asses over before it was to late. It didn't need to be told twice to him, Jason nodded in his direction and then with the others, rushed out of the door. Greg seemed to not like the idea though that he didn't get any of the action, so, he began to fire aimlessly into the crowd.
"Yeah. You like that don't you!?" Greg screamed as he fired away.
"Stop it!" Leon argued but Greg pushed him off.
"Get off!" He turned back to the monsters as he stepped into the room and fired again. "Yeah! YEEEEHAAAW" He noticed that none of them were getting up, so he walked out of the room. "Freaks!" He looked at Leon. "Yeah! WOO!!!"
Both Jason and Angela shook their heads as Greg walked off, pulling out another clip as he began to reload when suddenly, the glass window next to him shattered and the woman Angela had shot in the leg earlier came crashing down on Greg, trying to bite him. Jason tried to take aim, but the two of them were so close that he was afriad he might hit Greg instead of the woman. As Jason tried to get a shot, Leon sighed as he aimed and fired directly into the womans forehead.
Greg pushed her off and sat against the wall, wipping the blood from his face. "What the hell man!? I shot her point blank, there's no way I could've missed".
Leon picked him up and glared at him. "I told you, shoot for the head, it's there only vulernable shot. Otherwise, you waste time and ammunition. And THAT can prove to be fatal".
Jason watched as Leon shoved Greg into the wall, Angela walked over to him and motioned towards the zombies that were trying to come in through the window. It was time to go, no questions asked. The four of them moved down the hallway, but, not before Greg walked back to the dead woman's body and gave her a kick in the stomach.

"Those were gunshots!" Jessica said happliy.
Claire turned to look at her. "There's help coming, we're going to get out of here".
Matt looked over at Senator Davis who had a smug look on his face. He didn't like the guy at all, he was arrogant as hell, liked to talk smack but when it came down to it, he was a grade A coward.
"You should thank me. If you hadn't of mentioned me, they would've ignored your call" Davis said smugly.
Claire turned to face him. "You might wanna' stick your ego up your ass. Considering your own secretary left you here to die".
Suddenly, a sound erupted from somewhere near by, like someone had just been found hiding in a broom closet having sex or something to that matter.
"What was that?" Christian asked from his sitting position.
"A survivor, we have to help" Claire said.
"No way, it's too late" Davis argued.
"He's right" Jessica complained. "If you leave, so do I".
"No Claire, don't go" Rani pleaded. 'When my father left, he said the same thing. He said he was going to help my mother, but he didn't come back and neither did she, and if you leave, you wont come back either".
"It's okay, im gonna' come back" Claire said as she held Rani tightly.
"Im going with you also" Matt said as he stood up. "No point in you going alone".
"By the way" Claire looked over at Jessica. "Do you have anything that can be used as a weapon".
When everything was said and done, Matt and Claire stood outside the door to the room, each wearing a look of fright on their faces. It was no mystery as to why they were scared, there was a good chance that they wouldn't be coming back, just like Rani had said. They turned back to look at Jessica and Rani as she closed the door, they were on their own.
Matt looked over at Claire, who regarded the umbrella she was holding with humor.
"What is it?".
"Never saw this coming" Claire mused.
"Huh?".
Claire shook her head. "I'll tell you later, let's go".
The two of them walked down the hallway slowly, it was very dark in the hallway and at one point, Matt was scared the shadows would swallow them up and never spit them out. When they got to the corner, Claire called out to see if anyone was around, nothing but complete silence. Matt took the lead as they walked down the still empty hallway. He placed his back against the wall at the corner and was about to walk around it when suddenly a bright light from a flashlight blinded the two of them.
"Wait! Dont shoot!".
The man didnt move, the deadly looking weapon still aimed at the two of them. "Get down!".
Matt and Claire didn't hesitate as they both dropped to the floor, his knees buckling as much from the command as from the cold fingertips suddenly groping at his shoulder.
Boom! Boom!
The guy fired and Matt snapped his head around, and saw the zombies falling backwards from directly behind him, at least one massive hole now in each of their forehead. Sluggish spurts of blood jetted from the wound, the white eyes, filing over with red. The fallen corpse twitched, once, twice and stopped moving.
He turned back to the man as three others dressed in tactical clothing and a guy dressed in a suit came running from the end of the hallway, he had a look of thanks on his face. The man before him was young, maybe the same age as Claire and a little taller than Matt, and almost as terrified as he felt, his upper lip beaded with sweat, his blue eyes wide and unblinking.
The guy in front of them at least was strong and sure as he reached down to help Claire up.
"Leon?!" She said in shock and confusion. "What are you doing here?"
The man known as Leon smirked. "I could ask you the same thing"
Matt and Claire looked at the people that had come down the hallway and saw that Senator Davis' secretary had been the obvious one who had screamed like a scared little girl.
"You're the one?" Claire asked in disappointment.
"Thank god help came".
"Any other survivors?" The female S.R.T. operative asked.
"Yeah" Matt nodded. "There are four others with us".
"The Senator?" The younger male S.R.T. operative asked.
"In the room with Rani, Christian and Jessica" Claire said as she started down the hall. "This way".
-----------
"This is it?" Senator Davis asked in shock.
"Yep" Leon said calmly.
"Reinforcements?" He asked.
"No" Leon said even calmer. "We're getting out alone".
"I'd hope you at least have some sort of backup plan" Senator Davis mocked as he began to get angry.
"We're gonna' run across the lobby floor".
"What!?" He asked confused. "The lobby is crawling with those things!?".
"It's also the widest area" Matt cut in. "Easier to manuver in".
"He's right" Claire added. "They aren't fast, we can get by them".
"Oh, really?" Davis said sarcastically to Claire. "And since when did the NGO member become such an authority on the subject!?'.
"She's one of the rare survivors of Raccoon City" Leon informed them. "She has more experience with this kind of hellish nightmare, than anyone in this entire room".
"Raccoon City?" Greg asked. "Hey, isn't that....".
Angela nodded.
Jason looked over at Claire in confusion. It had been seven years ago that the hellish nightmare in Raccoon City had happened, his friend, David King, had been involved in it. He was also one of the few survivors, having escaped with nine other survivors, via helicopter from the university.
Author's Note: Well, that's the fourth chapter of Degeneration. Everyone is ready to go, Jason, Greg, Leon and Angela got to where the survivors are located. I can't stand Davis, although he is a good person as far as his intentions, he's still an ass. Yes, that was David frm Outbreak, if anyones wondering why I said 'nine others', it's because I included Gill and Danny, the two pilots. I might have them in the next fanfic I plan on doing after this one, I'll think about it. I'd like to end this by thanking my reviewers: Divine Arion. Plz R&R. Later.
