"Um, guys…I think we might be in trouble here." Greg said, with fear in his voice.

"No doubt, that must be the latest Tyrant model." Jill readied her weapon

"Guess we have to fight it until the chopper gets here." Chris said, readying his weapon.

"This is it everyone. It's either kill or be killed." Eric and Jared ready themselves

"If we don't make it out of here alive, it's been fun knowing all of you." Jay replied, while he, Alan, and Greg prepare themselves for what could be their final moments on Earth


This is it everyone, the moment all of you have patiently waited for: the final, and hopefully epic showdown. Disclaimer: Some minor sexual innuendos in this chapter, and a fair dose of foul language as well. You have been sufficiently warned, lol.

Chapter 7: Fight for Freedom, Part 2: Showdown

"Jill…That doesn't look like any Tyrant we've ever fought before. It might be an experimental hybrid of some kind." Chris said about the creature that stood before them.

The creature that stood before them was unlike any other Tyrant ever seen before. It appeared to be more durable than the Tyrant R (Super Tyrant), had metal armor somewhat similar to that of the T-A.L.O.S. from Siberia yet more mobile, and could possibly possess an intelligence that rivals the Nemesis T-Type that Jill had encountered in Raccoon City.

"Enlighten us. What on earth is a Tyrant? Besides some giant, ugly, steroid infused freak of nature." Jared asked, preparing for the inevitable showdown.

"It's a very powerful bioweapon. In fact, it's considered to be the Umbrella Corporation's ultimate creation." Jill told him. "This one is clearly in another league compared to what we've encountered in the past."

"How bad are we talking exactly?" Eric asked

"Really bad…as in it looks like it may take at least a half dozen rockets to take this one out, not to mention a lot of luck." Chris aims his weapon at the Tyrant.

"Not to quote a famous movie right now, but that thing is one ugly mother fucker." Jays says as the Tyrant roars and begins to charge towards the group.

"Everybody, split up! We can last longer against it if we aren't close together!" Jill yells out to everyone. The Tyrant starts to move towards Eric, who starts taking a few shots at the creature. It ignores the shots and backhands Eric about halfway across the football field. He blacks out shortly after coming to a stop. Jay takes a few pot shots at it to draw its attention away from Eric. The creature rushes towards Jay and tries swipe him with its enlarged claws. Jay draws his katana just in time and manages to parry a few blows before the blade of the katana snaps in half, and Jay is sent several yards down the field.

"Jay, no!" Greg shoots at the Tyrant a few times to draw its attention. Alan and Jared follow suit and they fire a small volley of handgun and shotgun rounds at it as well. The creature begins to advance towards Alan. Throughout the battle, there is one thing that was unlikely to have been taken into consideration: the commotion from the battle was starting to draw the attention of zombies from all over the campus and towards the football field.

"Guys, we've got a serious problem on our hands. Look all around us." Jared takes notice to all of the zombies closing around the area, some of which are trying to scale the fences. A small few that were already there actually manage to scale the fence.

"Guess the battle drew some unwanted attention from our undead associates it seems." Alan replies. "Chris, Jill, any ideas here?"

"Yeah. Jill and I will hold off Frankenstein. You guys take care of anything that gets too close to our area, and make sure Eric and Jay are still alive. Wouldn't want them to end up as a buffet for those things, or worse." Chris says to everyone.

"Consider it done." Greg says.

Jill and Chris try to stall the Tyrant as much as possible while the others can make sure Eric and Jay are safe, and deal with any zombies that manage to get too close for comfort. After a few minutes of fighting, the sound of the evac helicopter could be heard in the distance.

"Guys…the chopper's coming." Jill called out to everyone.

A woman with an African accent can be heard over the radio. 'Looks like we got here just in time, Chris.'

"Sheva? Your timing is excellent." Chris grins a little

'Seems to be that way.'

Another person, a male with a similar accent, speaks next. 'Jill, hope everyone is alright. We brought some much needed reinforcements." A crate can be seen hanging below the chopper, which contains multiple rocket launchers and RPG rounds.

"Josh Stone. Good to have you on the battlefield again." Jill grins slightly.

'Can't keep a good soldier down after all. We're dropping the cargo now. These RPG rounds are considerably stronger than normal RPG rounds. Have everyone go for the crate as soon as there is an opening.'

Unbeknownst to Chris and Jill at first, there was a third person in the chopper who had tagged along to provide additional firepower. With a Hispanic accent, he speaks over the radio as well.

'Guess Carlos Oliveira has to help save the day as well, eh gringos. Captain Stone, did you say Jill, as in Jill Valentine? I haven't seen her since about a year after Raccoon City.'

Jill is somewhat stunned after hearing that it is none other than Carlos Oliveira. "C…Carlos? I haven't heard from you since about a year after Raccoon City was wiped out. I honestly thought you were…"

"Not a chance on that, foxy. The Nemesis and Raccoon City couldn't keep me down. Hey…I'm willing to bet you got a little horny hearing my voice after all this time, didn't you sexy?" Carlos says slyly.

Jill rolls her eyes "Once again…keep dreaming Carlos. I'm already spoken for. Besides, what are you doing here anyways?" Jill dodges an attempted tackle from the Tyrant.

"I got tired of running from my past with Umbrella. So, I did what I felt would help me cleanse my past, and tried to join the BSAA. The recruiter wasn't too eager to let me join because of my former affiliation with Umbrella. So…some dork named Chris apparently bit the guy a new one, and ultimately decided to give me a second lease on life. So anyways, I signed on the dotted line, and haven't looked back since. I certainly don't regret the decision."

"Dork? Me? You know, come to think of it, Rebecca did mention something about a former UBCS member joining the BSAA not too long ago." Chris said over the radio, while helping Jill occupy the Tyrant.

Carlos grabs a rifle and pistol, and rappels down to give the group some additional assistance. "Go everybody! I'll cover you." Carlos takes out any zombies and other mutants that might try hinder the group's progress.

Jared and Alan help Eric back to his feet and they make their way to the weapon crate, dealing with a few zombies also. Greg goes to help Jay out. Although a bit dizzy from the earlier impact, Jay manages to get back on his feet after a couple moments and fires more rounds at the Tyrant after making his way over to the crate. The Tyrant, starting to show irritation with the current situation, charges at Jay just as his pistol jams. Fortunately, Carlos manages to intervene and pushes Jay out of the way as the Tyrant cleanly misses everybody in its path, including Carlos.

"That was close, pendejo. Get a rocket launcher while you still have a chance to do so!" Carlos says to Jay. Chris and Jill run over towards the crate to try stalling the Tyrant a bit longer, as the rest of the group prepares their launchers.

"This is it everyone. Make your shots count, and all of you might just get out of here alive." Chris and Jill hear Josh and they barely manage to get away from the Tyrant in time as the first volley of rockets finds their mark and obliterates the armor plating on the Tyrant's body. The creature begins to show weakness after losing its armor and sustaining some damage to its body besides. It advances towards everyone, but at a somewhat slower pace than before.

"Looks like our turn now." Jill and Chris load an RPG round each and fire it at the Tyrant. The significantly weakened Tyrant slumps over on the ground for a moment before standing back up. Its trademark weakness, an enlarged heart, was now showing after some of its seemingly impenetrable skin was removed by the last two rockets.

"One shot left. Jay should get the honors on this." Everyone nods in agreement as Greg hands Jay the last rocket.

"Aim for the heart. That's its weak point." Jill tells him

Jay takes aim at the Tyrant's exposed heart as it moves towards the group. "This one is for our loved ones, our friends, and everyone else who lost their lives today because of this plague."

"Ready Jay?" Greg asks.

"Locked and loaded, my friend." Jay replies.

"Suck on this, freak!" Alan yells out

"Time's up, you ugly son of a bitch." Time seemed to slow down for everyone as Jay fires the final rocket. Time resumes as the rocket finds its mark and the creature goes up in a fiery explosion, its existence ended once and for all.

Josh brings the chopper down to the ground for everyone to jump in. "Everyone, get in quickly! HQ just sent confirmation that multiple missiles with thermobaric or possibly even nuclear warheads are being launched and are on their way here. We have less than ten minutes to get our asses out of here."

"Strap yourselves in everyone. We're getting out of here." Chris says to everyone

Alan, feeling cheeky, replies "Did he say strap in, or strap on?" He receives a much deserved backhand from Carlos "Pendejo."

The chopper takes off just as the fences around the football field give out, and hordes of zombies and other mutants begin to swarm the field. Some Lickers and Hunters jump at the chopper, but are taken care of by rifle and shotgun fire before they can get close enough. A few more hunters try to jump at the chopper but cannot reach it successfully. Josh hightails it out of the area. Upon successfully getting clear of the city after about nine minutes, some missiles pass by the chopper on their way to eradicate the now doomed city and all of its undead and mutated inhabitants.

"Oh my Chris…just like Raccoon City all over again." Jill rests her head on Chris's shoulder as she witnessed the exact same sight when she left Raccoon City just before its annihilation, some old wounds beginning to open slightly. Chris puts an arm around her to provide some comfort. Alan, Greg, Jay, Eric, and Jared all share well deserved fist bumps with each other, and watch in sorrow as the city they once called home is forever wiped off the map, along with nearly everyone and everything they ever knew.

"We did it everyone. Even though it was a very high cost in the end, we made it out of there. I would not ask for another…team…of crazy or dysfunctional fuckheads to go with me into another situation like this. Proud of all of you." Greg says to everyone.

Jay, feeling sentimental, replies "My thoughts exactly, you crazy fucks."

"HQ isn't too far away. Once we get there, you will have an opportunity to get cleaned up, eat, and sleep…after a proper debriefing of course." Sheva tells everyone. Jay, still sore from the battle, falls asleep for a few minutes.


Whew…finished the battle conclusion faster than I had anticipated. Hope you liked it. I was originally planning on Jared being skewered by the Tyrant near the end, but ultimately decided against it. Also wanted to make a nod to RE5 with Jay firing the final rocket (almost spoiled the ending for those who hadn't played the game, lol). Don't forget to R&R as usual. Thanks for being patient with me. I will start working on the epilogue chapter and have it posted hopefully in the coming weeks, provided any aspect of my life does not interfere with my writing yet again. I am starting to work on a Rosario + Vampire fanfic also, but would like to come up with a sequel for this. Let me know if you might be interested in a sequel. Thanks.

As far as the Carlos cameo goes, I personally feel like he is one of a few characters who are long overdue for an official return to the franchise (along with Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen). Too many appearances by Chris and Leon already if you ask me.
