Edd searched another room while the others held the zombies at bay, "I can't find any evidence that she was even here." he said and stood. Tim looked around, and saw a bracelet on the floor, "Wait! That was her mother's bracelet, Rimmy hardly ever takes it off." he said. Edd picked it up and put it in his pocket, and something caught his attention. A clipboard with Rimmy's picture attached to the file. He picked it up and started reading.
Patient Primrose Elizabeth Watson; Age: 17; Infected with T-Virus and given Anti-Virus.
"Tim, what is the T-Virus?" Edd asked as he read on.
"That's the virus that causes these fuckers." he said and shot a zombie in the head.
Edd gulped, "And the Anti-Virus?"
"That's basically the cure, but sometimes it won't change anything."
"Meaning?"
"In the late stages of infection, or depending on the amount of the T-Virus you've been exposed to, the cure will do nothing to save your ass." Rebecca said and walked to Edd, "Why?"
"Rebecca, cover for Tim, he needs to see this." Edd said.
Rebecca stood at the doorway again and Tim grabbed the clipboard Edd was holding. After a few seconds of reading, Edd thought that Tim was about to pop a vein. "That... son of a BITCH." he roared and started out the doorway, shooting every zombie in sight.
"Rebecca, we need to find Rimmy." Edd said. She nodded and checked the map.
"If she had been in this room, she couldn't have wandered far. I think right now, Tim is about to rip Isaacs' throat out." she looked around, "Alright, Shorty, Big Guy, you guys go left. Hat and I will go right." she said.
Eddy was rather unhappy with what Rebecca called him, but he sucked it up and dragged Ed towards the hallway. Edd was nervous, scared for his friends. But he knew that Ed was an expert when it came to killing zombies, and Eddy was too stubborn to die. With that, Edd followed Rebecca in hopes to find Rimmy.
Rimmy had found a weapons room(which a few zombies were somehow locked up in there), and had equipt herself with two handguns, an AK47, and a machete as a melee weapon. She was ready to kill some flesh eating monsters.
As several zombies came towards her, she took them out with ease. But a loud growl was heard behind her. She turned around and a large creature was there. It had a pink-ish color to it, and you could somewhat see it's brain through thin skin on the head. Just when Rimmy assumed that this would be easy, the creature's tongue shot out and wrapped itself around her right handgun. She cursed under her breath and fired, as the creature dodged it again, it lept for her. She got out of the way and pulled out her machete.
This time, when the creature's tongue shot out, she threw the machete down and it cut it's way through it.
It let out a horrid screech and lunged for Rimmy.
POP!
Rimmy looked around, out of nowhere, the creature had been shot in the head.
"Rimmy!" Rebecca called and grabbed her by the shoulders, "What did they do to you?"
"I-I don't know, but I don't feel sick at all." she said.
Edd reached out for her arm and saw the small red dots on her arm, "So this is how you're injected with it?" he asked.
She nodded, "But more importantly, where is Dad?" she asked.
"He went to find Isaacs, Rimmy, he was absolutely furious that Isaacs infected you." Edd explained. Rimmy waited no longer, she ran to the nearest map in that hallway.
"Alright, Isaacs will most likely be in one of the main labs. I don't really remember much, but I think that he ran out of the room I was in when the alarm was set off-"
"DOUBLE D! YOU'RE OKAY!" she heard a familiar oaf yell and again, Edd was practically lifted up like a baby by Ed. Once he was out of Ed's death hug, Ed hugged Rimmy as well, "And you are okay too!"
It never surprised her that Ed somehow managed to smile in the event of all this chaos. Eddy simply sighed and cracked his knuckles, "So you aren't really gonna be a zombie, right?"
Rimmy shook her head, "But we don't need to worry about that now, we need to find my Dad and the others." she said.
"Rebecca, I want you to find Chris and Jill, tell them to wire a helicopter for us to escape in. It won't be long before all of this commotion draws in more infected. Sarah, Rolf and Jimmy are with them, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good, because i'm going to find Dad." she said.
"I'm not letting you go alone." Edd finally spoke up. He didn't know what made him say that, but all he knew was that he wouldn't leave her side again.
Rimmy looked up at him he frowned slightly.
"If Double D is going, so am I." Ed crossed his arms, obviously serious about his decision.
"I guess I'll have to go with you guys too." Eddy rolled his eyes and cocked his gun. "Dr. Doom has really started to piss me off."
"Just be careful guys." Rebecca said and pulled out a clip of ammo, "This is for the .45, you'll need it more than I will." she said and started for one direction.
Rimmy studied the map one more time, "Alright, are you guys ready?" she asked them.
As they nodded, Rimmy sighed and started walking. Having grabbed her handgun back after the Licker(1) was killed, she was ready to fight if needed.
The air felt warmer as they approached a metal door. Isn't it supposed to feel cold in these types of places? Rimmy gulped as she reached for the doorknob, and turned it. As the four walked inside, they heard voices, both male. Rimmy recognized them immediately, as her father's and Isaacs'. She ducked out of few and the Eds followed suit, listening quietly.
"Why did you infect her?"
"As you are aware, the other project has been in shambles. Alice has completely disappeared off the radar. But then I remembered that your daughter had very similar DNA, and I just had to try it."
A sudden crash was heard and Rimmy had to stand to see what just happened. Her father threw a chair that was in the way aside and lunged for Isaacs. But with one swift movement, Isaacs drew his pistol.
POP
Rimmy felt her insides twist, her heart skip, her eyes widen, as her father fell to the floor, motionless.
Isaacs looked at her, "Oh, Primrose, I'm sorry you had to witness that. But your father doesn't understand-"
"Doesn't understand what?" she snapped.
"That you have become magnificent."
"I became a freak."
"I'm sorry you view things like that, but as you can tell, I'm feeling a bit under the weather. So, perhaps you would like to play with my pets." he smiled. And as if it was rehearsed, three undead dogs walked out, growling. Isaacs backed away enough to be out of the dogs' vision entirely.
They all lept for them, and Rimmy pulled out her handguns and shot two dead. The third was headed straight for her when Eddy shot it.
"I suppose I owe you?"
"Oh yeah."
Rimmy looked around, "The sneaky bastard left." she growled. Reloading her handguns, Rimmy started for the door, "Look, I suggest that you guys try to get out of here." she said.
The Eds all looked at eachother and shook their heads. "Rimmy, I'm not leaving you." Edd said, feeling his face flush slightly.
"If you don't leave, you'll never get out. That helicopter-"
"I don't care." he said, interrupting her. "Ed, Eddy, you guys can go. But I'm staying with Rimmy."
"You know we're not leaving you, Double D." Eddy said.
"Then it's settled." Edd said and turned back to her, "We're not leaving."
Rimmy sighed and nodded, then opened the only other door that Isaacs could go through. It led to a large mansion-like room. It was mostly empty, and the plastic coverings on the wooden statues danced in the wind. They walked towards the center of the room, still wondering what in the hell was going on.
"You know, it's much more polite to knock." Rimmy heard a familiar voice say. But when she turned around to shoot, she nearly threw up.
Isaacs no longer looked like a man, in fact, he had tentacles coming from his back. He was atleast twice his previous size and swollen. His out of porportion face made some form of a smile.
"You really do look much like your mother. It was a shame that she had to die."
"What?" she growled.
"Your mother knew far too much for her own good, even when she was pregnant with you. But I spared your poor life, and killed her after you were born."
Ed held her back before she nearly killed him, "Not yet." Edd said when he saw a chandelier above him.
"So I'm infected because I have similar DNA to Alice?" she asked.
"You could say that." Isaacs said, "But I have a busy schedule, so please hurry." With a sudden flash, his tentacles wrapped around her neck, making it difficult for her to breathe. Two tentacles were at her face, with razor sharp ends.
Ed grabbed the machete and sliced through the tentacles, and before Rimmy fell, Edd caught her. "Eddy! The chandelier!" Edd cried and pulled himself and Rimmy out of the way. Eddy grabbed Rimmy's rifle and shot at it, causing it to fall right on Isaacs.
"Follow me!" Rimmy jumped out of Edd's arms and ran to the hallway, she opened a random door that led to a metal, circular room with a computer in it, and another metal door. "Double D, can you hack into the computer system?" she asked. He nodded, "Alright, listen. I want you to lock me in there with him."
"Wha-"
"Don't. Please, I know what I'm doing, Double D. Trust me." she said. She continued to whisper several things into his ear, "And if I can't kill him, go to plan B."
He frowned, and nodded again. But before she could turn around to go into the bright room, Edd took her hand. She turned to face him, and he quickly pressed his lips to hers. She smiled faintly, the first time in what felt like days.
She slowly walked away into the bright hallway and waited.
Just as she had planned, Isaacs was on the other end. Edd had closed the door behind her, and it was locked shut.
This was it.
(1) Licker was the name given to those weird things with the long ass tongues...
