Leon shot down a zombie, the bullet ripped through the skull splattering the brain onto the stalk white walls, coloring it red. Ada kept close to him while Annette Birkin followed. "Here!! We need to take the corridor down here and take the right. If we head straight we should find the alternate hallway. Sherry should be hiding in my office," Annette said as they turned a right and continued to run.
He missed Remus he really did. Especially when they fought. Remus would win by calling him 'Ms. Kennedy'. Leon smiled at the thought. Remus was childish in some ways, when he snapped back a retort at Leon. He took a deep breath and let it loose slowly. Annette was broken up about it still; the tears were fresh on her cheeks. And Ada…
Ada was quieter then usual, only talking when she needed to.They skidded to a halt when a hulking figure emerged from the shadows. It had two sets of arms, the larger pair stood from it's shoulders like talon tipped wings, the smaller looked vestigial in appearance. The creature's head had a permanent grin painted onto it's lipless face, an eye swiveled around from it's right shoulder and left leg, staring at them unblinkingly.
Leon lifted his gun and fired, the larger arms blocked the bullets from hitting the main torso. It took a step forward, while Leon, Ada, and Annette took a step back. Ada fired, hitting it in the leg. The creature stopped and looked down; it grunted and looked back at them, the already lipless grin widened fractionally.
The large wing-like arms lunged forward knocking Leon and Ada back against the wall, knocking the breath out of them. The creature continued to walk forward and grabbed Annette by the shoulders with its smaller arms while the larger ones raised high above its head. Annette had only a moment to scream before the large claws dug into the tender flesh of her body. Annette managed to yell something our before ripped into her. "Tell Sherry I'm sorry for not being a better mother!!" Annette screamed as the monster tore her into her. Leaving nothing behind but a badly mangled corpse.
Leon raised his gun and began to fire, some of the bullets hitting the monster. Ada took this action to heart and began to fire as well. The monster's flesh was soon littered with bullet wounds as it howled in pain. It turned and ran before it could sustain any more damage. Leon stood up, offering a hand to Ada getting her to her feet. "Thank you," She said looking around.
"You're welcome. We need to find the others," Leon said looking over his shoulder. He grimaced as he saw the remains of Annette Birkin. Yet another soul lost to Umbrella…He thought as he held Ada's hand and began to pull her in the direction of where the others were.
Leon was going to repay Umbrella back ten-fold for all the innocent people they killed. Remus Birkin, Annette Birkin, David Ford, Elliot Edward, Robert Kendo, and so many more…Leon though remorsefully. He shook his head to clear his thoughts as he pulled Ada though the corridor and arrived in a matter of minutes to their destination. Leon looked at the keypad and typed in the code 2-5-3-7, the large door hissed open and the lights inside clicked on.
"Claire? Vic? Sherry? Are you here?" Leon called out his voice barely over a whisper. "Leon?" Claire said as she poked her head out from under the desk. "Where's Sherry?"
"Under the desk with me," Claire said as Sherry poked her head over the desk also. "Leon!!" Sherry said as she ran over to hug Leon, "Did you find mom?! Where's Remus? Leon…? What happened…?"
"I…I'm sorry…Remus was infected with the G-Virus and Mrs. Birkin tried the vaccine on him but…I don't know, it wasn't working so she tried a different virus to help neutralize the G-Virus but…He went into shock and…He didn't make it…" Vic had climbed out of the closet and looked at Leon and laughed.
"That's funny, Leon!! But seriously, where's Remy? I have to hit him over the head for leaving us," Vic said smiling. Leon shook his head again, "I'm sorry…"
"Leon…Th-that's not funny!! Remy?! Remy where are you?!" Vic called out the door before Ada dragged her back in and held her firmly. "I'm sorry, I was there when it happened but Remus is dead, he's not coming back," She said, her tone chillingly final.
Vic looked at her and Leon in shock before the tears began to flow. Leon walked over to her and gently held her shoulders, "He wanted me to tell you something important before he…Died." Leon choked out the last word. Vic looked up at him, her blue eyes watery. "W-What d-did he say?"
"He said, 'Tell Vic that I love her'" Leon said, Vic burst into tears again and clutched Leon. He rubbed her back as she cried, trying to calm her. After a few minutes she calmed, she stood back and sniffled, wiping her eyes. "Mom didn't make it either did she…?" Sherry said, sniffling. Leon shook his head, "No…She didn't but she wanted you to know she was sorry and that she loved you." Sherry nodded, sniffling as she wiped her eyes.
"We need to leave," Ada said as she placed her hand on Leon's shoulder. He nodded, "Ada's right, we need to go now."
RESIDENTEVIL
An hour later of running through the halls of the lab, they had encountered zombies, Lickers, and Poison Ivies, even a Cerberus. "If we past through the hallway here, and take the door down there we should be able to get to the next room," Leon said as he slid open the large door.
"Hurry, we need to get to the tram car and get the hell out of here."
The door slid shut and the locked clicked. The group whirled to look at the door. Something hit the floor heavily and they turned to look at Birkin once more. He had changed drastically from the form he had the last time.
Birkin had mutated into a doglike creature, but instead of a head, it had a gaping maw with spikes protruding from the sides. It walked on all fours and had an extra pair of human-like arms coming from the chest. It roared and launched itself into the air aiming to leap at Ada. She rolled out of the way and fired a shot into it's thick hide.
It turned towards her and leapt over her head, landing on the thick pipes that lined the walls and the ceiling. It turned towards them again and made a mad leap towards Claire and Sherry. Leon pulled out his shotgun and fired, the spread shot hitting the monster in the side making it miss it's intended target.
It rolled over back onto it's legs and gave a ear splitting roar. It barreled after Leon with immense speed; Leon raised the shotgun again, ready to fire. Leon saw a blur come from his left and something red coming down. The monster howled and struggled to get free of the ax that was now imbedded in its back. Leon looked up and saw a pair of glowing ice blue eyes rimmed with indigo.
"Remus!?" Leon said shocked. Remus looked up and growled, before he wretched the ax from the creature's back, and slammed it down again. It spat up blood and when Remus lifted the ax to give the killing blow, it leapt away coughing up blood as it went. It ran towards the exit door and slammed through it, shattering it as it ran away. "Remus!! We thought you were dead!! Are you alright," Leon asked walking towards Remus.
Remus' chilling eyes glared him down, "Yes, I am dead…I came back though, alone in that dark, stumbling through the halls, lost in a haze. It was only chance that I found you all."
"But, Remus!! You were dead!! We couldn't do anything!!" Leon said backing against the wall as Remus towered over him, his eyes shining through the dark. "Remy!! Stop, you're scaring Leon!!" Vic yelled as she ran up to Remus and clutched his arm. He looked down at her and his face softened, "I'm sorry, the origanal virus I had increased violent tendencies…I still have the effects."
"You mean the vaccine didn't work?" Ada asked taking a step forward. "Oh no, it worked. I'm cured, the only reason I survived was because of the second virus that was injected. It repaired the damage done by both the G-Virus and the DEVIL vaccine. Isn't such a nice concoction?" Remus asked as his lips peeled back so he could sneer at her.
"If the vaccine didn't work then I would be a G-Mutant, wouldn't I…?" He hissed at her, she flinched as she saw that his canines had elongated and made him look more like a monster. He stood straight up and chuckled darkly.
"We need to get to the tram car now, before the U.S. blows up Raccoon City."
"Wait…'Blow up'?!" Claire said, shocked. Remus nodded, "I managed to get into the computer and saw that there was a count down and it said we only have three hours left. That means one to get the hell out to the surface, another hour to leave, and the third to run for our lives. I think it's pretty reasonable, don't you all think?"
"Yes, it is…If you know where the tram car is, and a way to get out of here," Ada said, walking to the ruined door. "I looked that up also. The tram car is down the hall, take a left and head straight. You just need to get the tram car going and it'll take you out of Raccoon City, it'll stop just ten miles outside the city," Remus said as he walked past Ada. "Let's get going then!!" Claire said, holding Sherry's hand as the group walked out to go to the tram car.
Well, good news is: They might survive the night.
A/N: I'm sorry for not updating everyday. The weather's been bad and I don't want to pay four hundred dollars for a modem because the lightning short circuited my current one… Huh, well anyway. One more chapter and this story is over. I already started on the first two chapters of the sequel. I haven't thought up a title for the story though…So any ideas would be great. Danke, read and review please!!
