The scraping sounds grew closer as Revy got to her feet and clenched her fists around her cutlass. Finally the cause of the noise showed itself through the hospital's windows. A man, perhaps 8 feet tall wearing a bizarre pyramid shaped piece of headgear and dragging a laughably large blade behind him.
"What the fuck?" Revy whispered as the creature approached the entrance to the Emergency Room.
She kept her guns at the ready as she quietly backed through a door heading further into the hospital. Looking around her, the corridors of the hospital were pitch-black and she once again holstered one of her guns in favor of her lighter. She proceeded down several of the corridors looking for another way out when she came to a map. Looking it over briefly she found another way out and began to follow the route.

In Revy's room at the rip-off church, her body came to life twitching slightly and Rock immediately noticed her fingers wiggling in his hands.
"Revy?! Can you hear me?"
She was still unresponsive, but her fingers continued to move. He quickly stood from her bedside and ran to get the others.
-
Revy continued to run through the halls of the hospital until she found what was to be the exit. She sighed in relief and ran through the doors, but where the exit should have been was a small operating room containing three of the pyramid headed creatures that had been following her. Terrified, she tried to get back through the door but it was now locked tight. With no other options, she drew her cutlass and opened fire.
While one of the creatures went down, the other two continued advancing while she reloaded. After another round of gunfire, just one of the creatures was left. Again she reloaded but this time, she would be too late. The creature raised its enormous blade and forced it through her abdomen, clean through the doors behind her.
Pinned to the doors, a mess of blood poured from her mouth and she quickly began to slip away. The creature merely waited for her to die so that it may collect its weapon.
-
As Rock returned to her room, Revy's body was seizing. His eyes quickly flooded as he backed himself into the corner of the room. He couldn't stand the sight of her suffering.
Yolanda and Ricardo entered the room a few moments later; Ricardo holding a needle which he hastily stuck Revy with slowing her seizure.
-
Just as her body had almost gone completely limp, Revy seemed to wake up as she hung from the creature's massive weapon. Full of life somehow, she racked her cutlass, lifted it beneath the creature's massive headgear and emptied the magazine. The creature fell to the floor just a few seconds later and both the room and the environment instantly changed.
The creature's blade vanished from within her leaving her with a massive gaping hole through her torso and she fell to the ground now outside as she should have been. While her wound was absolutely mortal for both her and the child she was unaware she was even carrying, she smiled slightly before the lights went out.
-
Eda and Dutch joined Rock and Yolanda in Revy's room after hearing the commotion a few seconds earlier.
"Is she alright?" Rock asked as he slowly approached her bed.
Revy's exposed eye began to flutter and Yolanda smiled, "I think she's ready to wake up."
Keeping her eye open for a few seconds at a clip, Revy struggle to observe her surroundings through a haze while she regained her focus, "Where am I?"
"You're at the church. Sister Eda brought you here 3 days ago." Rock replied.
She smiled weakly as she asked, "That you Rock?"
Rock returned the smile and took her hand, "I'm right here."
"I had the weirdest dream; I was pregnant. I was gonna have a baby…" A slight laugh barely escaped her lips, "…imagine that."
