The dark room was lit by the TV monitors and the blue life sustaining tube. Jericho typed in some information into a computer as he adjusted his glasses. He glanced at his watch and looked back at the tube holding his sleeping angel. He grinned as he turned back to the computer. He continued to type until he was finished with his data. He stood and swiftly moved over to the tube.
"My beautiful Angel…" Jericho said with an evil laugh. "Time to awake and show your wings true to me…" He said as his hand slowly left the glass encasing around his creation. He walked over to a control panel and pressed a green button and turned to watch the holding tank rise into the ceiling. "Fly…"
The tube slowly rose to ground level in the thick brush. A loud hissing of vents blasting open could be heard as the fluid that held the Angel suspended rushed out to the ground around the tank. Angel's cold blue eyes opened to the world…Dark and rainy…
The front side of the encasing popped off, allowing Angel to take her first steps onto the rain drenched mud. Her ears suddenly picked up sounds…far away, but easy enough to get to. Her feet lifted from the ground and she disappeared before the blink of an eye….

Chad rushed out to meet Marcus away from the group, but put himself in the view of Vanessa. The bullets whizzed past Chad as he dodged him and then barely dodged Marcus's machete that nicked his cheek. Chad rolled his head under another attack and then swayed back, barely dodging the sharp machete. The heavy downpour wasn't making his vision any better, leaving his instincts to keep him alive. Everything was a blur, but he knew that the bullets came dangerously close and the machete was even closer to sending him to the rest of his old team.
Marcus kept a sick grin on his face as his blade kept nearly killing Chad. The rush, the adrenaline of battle with a man that Umbrella wanted dead so badly, they made the unit he was in just for the mission. He had never faced a man with such skill and a sixth sense for danger…It was amazing. His knowledge of close quarters combat with heightened reaction time made it all the more fulfilling to Marcus. Thinking that he would never find a worthy opponent for his skills that he was gifted with, but to face a man that was able to wound him multiple times, simply incredible. He swung again as Chad dodged another bullet from Vanessa. His blade slid through the flesh of Chad's shoulder, leaving a gash. "Got you…"
Chad seethed in pain as he dodged another accurate bullet. The strain on his body was intense as his reaction time was being tested to the max. Chad ducked under the machete blade as Marcus appeared before his eyes. He pushed off him as another bullet slowed down right before his eyes to see the engravings on it. He pulled his knife up to his face to once more block a powerful swing by Marcus. Chad glanced into his eyes as his vision slowed down once more to make it seem like he was staring. The look in his eyes was that of a man that wanted to see death, but he could imagine that from a person who would work for a company that was all about death. Chad pushed off once more to dodge another precise bullet from the sniper.
Marcus wanted it more and more as the battle lasted. He swung with more effort and murderous intent with each swing, wanting the kill, needing the kill. He grunted louder after every stroke of his blade came closer and closer to Chad. One fatal wound was all he needed, but it was a challenge to nail him one good time.
Chad felt his body starting to slow up some as it reached it's peak of performance. He couldn't take much more and couldn't much longer at this rate. He had to do something that would relieve the strain on his body. Chad backed up, but stopped in time as a bullet gazed his back, tearing through the material. Chad ducked under another attack and deeply gashed Marcus's side and moved himself to Marcus's back. "Good…"
"Ahh…You…" Marcus seethed as he looked at his healing wound and back at Chad. He was expecting another bullet, but didn't see Chad move.
"Marcus, move your slow ass! You're in my line of sight! I can't see him!"
"Huh?" Marcus said, thrown off momentarily.
Chad saw the perfect opportunity to use his firearm as he pulled out his handgun and took aim. He fired a true shot that Marcus saw and dodged by leaning to the side, but Chad fired another lead shot. Marcus leaned to the other side at the right time that Chad had planned as Marcus felt something smack him in the back of his head. His vision blurred as his head drooped and hung before his body fell out.
Chad took the opportunity to run and slide back next to Chris in cover. "Perfect…"

Vanessa was shocked at what she had just done. She had the perfect shot on Chad, but Marcus dodged right into the bullet and took one to the back of the head. "That son of a…." She felt a cold presence near as she looked back. She saw a blue figure with light blue silky hair waving through the rain. "The hell?" She said as she turned and took aim at its head.
Angel looked at Vanessa as she fired off a round. Her silky blue hair shot in front of her as the bullet came near and penetrated her hair. The bullet slowly came out the other side and fell to Angel's feet as her hair retook its previous position. Angel looked at her with more of a anger in her eyes.
"…What the fuck?" Vanessa said as she cocked the bolt action rifle once more and fired, but the hair blocked the bullet once more. She saw a flash and looked down as her rifle fell into two pieces. She looked back up in fear as she reached for her sidearm. She fired multiple shots into the monster in front of her, but the effect was the same. Hair blocked every shot that came near instantly. Suddenly Vanessa saw a flash and she could feel her stomach slowly open up as her entrails pushed out. She fell to her knees as her large intestine slipped out and hit the mud with a sick wet splat. Vanessa was starting to go into shock as she tried to pull her intestine back to her stomach, but only to find more falling out.
Vanessa looked up and saw Angel more clearly now…She was beautiful…Sadly it would be the last thing Vanessa would ever see…
Angel's hair swiped past Vanessa once more and a moment later her head fell from her shoulders and her body fell into the mud. Angel looked around through the heavy rain and knew where she was…She used to play around this area when she was younger…Her home wasn't far as her heart leapt in joy that she could see her family again. A smile came upon her face as she disappeared once more…

Laura looked at Carmine and jumped out to grab him. Mario looked over and tried to stop her, but it was too late. "Shit!" He was ready to see her brain matter paint the ground, but didn't as she pulled Carmine back over and propped his head up on her lap. His blood quickly stained her pants front his bullet wound.
"That sniper must have left…" Chris said in relief as he looked at Carmine.
Laura checked for a pulse and looked at Mario. "He's dead…" She said as she looked back at Carmine. His face showed an expression of peace. "Damnit…" She said as tears welled up in her eyes. "We failed…" She said as tears slipped down her cheeks.
"No we didn't…" Chris said as he looked at her. "We have to stop Umbrella…for Carmine…" He looked at Mario. "For Jose…" His eyes shifted down to the muddy earth. "For Mike…."
"Chris is right…" Chad said finally. "We need to keep moving to the facility and regroup." Chad stood and looked down at Carmine's lifeless body.
"Right…Let's go." Mario said as everyone started to move and left Carmine's body to rest…

"Not good here either…" Rachel said as she was shutdown while hacking into the failsafe systems. "Damnit…" She said as she leaned back in the chair with a deep sigh.
"Maybe if we could get into a yellow area…we could hack from there." Trina said as she looked around the four cubical office.
"Bad thing is that we don't have a keycard that will allow us to access a yellow area." Kyo said as he looked at some data files on another computer.
"One of the more important scientists probably has one…" Lorenzo said. "It's dangerous, but I say let's go zombie hunting."
"We're low on ammo." Vic said to himself as he leaned on the wall, looking at the floor.
"There is an armory on this floor luckily." Kyo said as he looked at Vic. "You up to kill some zombies?"
"…Fuck you…" Vic seethed. "You sick fucks can just talk about zombie hunting while everyone else is dying?"
"Calm down Vic…" Trina said as she looked at him. "You're starting to crack…"
"I'm not cracking!" He yelled back. "How do you know about cracking when you are just a medic, bitch?!"
"Vic!" Lorenzo yelled sternly.
Vic pulled up his rifle and took aim at Lorenzo to Lorenzo's surprise. "Now you listen to me damnit…" Vic met the barrels of Rachel and Kyo. "I'm getting the fuck out of here…"
"You won't survive…"
"Shut the fuck up!" Vic yelled cutting Lorenzo off. "We are not surviving under your command…I'll survive on my own means." Vic started to move towards the door.
"Don't do this Vic…" Kyo warned as his shotgun followed Vic. "You won't survive on your own out there…"
"Have fun dying down here…" Vic said with a psychotic grin as he disappeared out of the door.
"…Fuck em." Kyo said as he lowered his weapon and turned back to the files.
"We can't just leave him to himself out there…" Lorenzo said as he looked at Kyo. "He'll get killed."
"He's a threat to us and he ain't even infected." Kyo looked at Lorenzo. "He cracked, making him a danger to us and himself." Kyo looked at the rest of the team. "We're low on numbers here so keep it tight and cautious. We are moving out to the armory, I know the way so I'm point man. Rachel and Trina cover the middle and Lorenzo pulls up the rear. Let's move." He said sternly as he walked out the door.
Lorenzo stepped out and looked around to hopefully see Vic, but he was long gone. "Damnit Vic." Lorenzo cursed as he looked at Kyo. "He isn't like this at all. He wouldn't run and leave us like that."
"We're in a situation where we're dealing with things people don't normally run into." Rachel said. "In our training we are taught not to crack in a situation like this."
"If you want to live, you keep a good head on your shoulders and always think of a way to make it out." Kyo said as he walked with the team. "You crack, you die."
"Simple." Rachel followed up.
"You U.S.B.C.S. guys are really somethin…" Trina said as she looked in a window to a bloody office. "I tell you now that I couldn't do this for a living."
"We're just soldiers that handle these situations like we are trained to." Kyo replied as he turned a corner and raised his shotgun. He saw zombies, two of them dressed in scientist uniforms and two were guards. "Contact." He said as everyone took aim.
Rachel sent four perfect shots into the heads of the zombies, dropping them with ease. "I'll check em." She said as she moved up with Trina to the dead scientists. She patted them down and found a yellow card. "Easy enough." She looked up at the surprised faces of the group. Even Kyo showed one and that told her that whatever she isn't seeing right now, isn't good. Rachel turned her head around to see five green skinned Lickers. "Shit…"
Kyo pulled up his shotgun and fired a clean slug into the shoulder of one of the lickers, spraying thick crimson blood onto its fellow brethren. The licker screeched in pain as the rest charged. "Rachel, get the hell out of there!" Kyo yelled as Rachel scrambled toward the group that opened up on the Lickers.
The lickers separated and jumped from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, dodging the bullets with incredible ease. Kyo caught another as it landed on the ceiling, blowing its arm clean off. It fell to the floor and tried to scramble to its feet, but was pelted with bullets from the rest of the team. Kyo's feet started to move back as he pumped and fired. He knew of lickers, but also read in his research files of green enhanced lickers that were as deadly as hunters. He never thought he'd ever see one, but he would have rather seen one dead in training than fight a pack of them. "Fall back!" He barked as the team started to back up quickly.
Kyo glanced back as the teams fire died and saw Rachel leading them. He looked back only to feel the lickers spear like tongue tear into his shoulder. He yelled in pain as he felt himself yanked toward the licker, but Kyo grabbed the tongue and held his ground. The one he shot was still trying to shake off the wound, but two fresh lickers were closing in as one held him in place. He was in a deadly situation now as he quickly pulled out his combat knife from a shoulder holster and cut the tongue of the licker, freeing himself.
He turned to run, but felt another tongue pierce through his thigh. Kyo let out another yelp of pain as the tongue wrapped around his leg. A chemical burn filled his whole leg as he turned to see the licker that trapped him jump at him, but Kyo fell back with the momentum of the licker and shoved his shotgun into its chest. He pulled the trigger as he started to roll onto his neck and shoulders with the licker over him. The licker's thick blood painted his face as it was thrown down the hall and Kyo slid seven feet with it as pain shot through his leg once more. He cut the tongue and scrambled to one knee, placing the blood drenched knife in his mouth and gripped it with his teeth.
CLICK CLACK
Time seemed to slow down as Kyo saw the green shell eject from the shotgun. He looked up at another licker in mid flight toward him. He took aim and fired, seeing its head rip from its torso and sent even more blood onto him. Kyo pumped the shotgun again and pulled the trigger, but only heard a click. He was out of ammo and two lickers were still rushing toward him, one closer than the other. His hand shot downward to his sidearm as he pulled the knife from his mouth, but he was still tackled by the licker. Kyo pulled his wrist back with the gun in hand to place the barrel into the licker's stomach and squeezed.
Six shots ripped into the monster as it screeched in pain and pulled back off of Kyo, giving him enough room to shove his knife deep into its throat, leaving its screech to turn into a gurgling sound as blood spilt from the wound and its mouth. Kyo pushed the licker off of himself and stood, aiming at the last one, but found a tongue wrapped around his firing arm. The licker yanked him forward and Kyo stumbled right into a powerful swipe that ripped through his side. Kyo could feel the flesh; muscle and bone tear away as he fell to his knees, but he wasn't dead yet as the Licker swung downward at Kyo. Kyo looked up and put his arm up to block, only to feel more pain rip through his body as the claws sunk deep into his arm and almost through the bone.
The licker unwrapped its tongue from his arm and took aim. It launched its tongue at Kyo's face, but he put his hand up and cocked his head to the side. The tongue impaled his hand and Kyo screamed in pain as he wrapped his arm around it. He was losing the fight and knew he was going to die at this point as he looked at the licker, seeing every disgusting detail.
BAM!
The Licker's head snapped back as its body fell back with it. Kyo painfully pull his hand off its tongue and fell to the ground on his side. He heard the cries of his name as his eyes weakly shifted up to see Rachel.
"Oh shit, Kyo." She said as she looked at his wounds.
Trina ran up with Lorenzo and looked at him. Trina carefully moved him onto his back and propped his head up on her lap. She saw the gash in his side and it clearly exposed his inner organs and bone. "Oh my god…" She looked at Rachel.
Rachel knew that look as she looked back down at Kyo. "Don't worry Kyo, everything will be alright."
"Shut up…" Kyo said in a stern, but weak voice. "I'm going to die, but hell…that…isn't the point." He coughed up blood. "Find the failsafe…Finish the mission…That's an order…" He said as he coughed more.
"Kyo…" Lorenzo said as he looked into his dying eyes.
"It's been…an honor…t-to…serve with you…with you all." He said as he closed his eyes and slowly stopped breathing.
"Kyo! Kyo, don't die on me! Not here! Not now!! Kyo!" Rachel yelled, but she knew he was gone. She looked away as she stood. Trina laid Kyo back down on the ground gently and stood, looking at Rachel with Lorenzo. "We continue this mission. We stock up in the armory and move to the nearest yellow area." Rachel ordered as she looked at them. "Let's move…"

Vic had managed to kill two green looking demons and a handful of zombies. He even found a green keycard, but also found himself out of ammo as he opened a door to a green area. "I'll find a way out…There has to be one." He said as he walked cautiously into the dimly lit lab. Tables were cluttered with papers and scientific equipment mixed in with large amounts of blood.
"Victor Johnson…" A voice called out from the darkness.
Vic turned and pulled out his empty handgun, bluffing as if he was a threat. "W-who's there?! How do you know me?!" He looked all around, but didn't see a person to put the voice to.
"You ran from your team…Tsk tsk…" The voice said once more. "And what ever happened to leave no man behind?" The voice chuckled.
"Fuck you…I'm getting out of this hell whole, but I'll kill you first just to feel better." Vic threatened as he turned to be eye to eye with…
Wesker…
Vic instinctively threw a haymaker, but it was blocked with ease and countered with a solid punch to his sternum by Wesker that sent him back ten feet into a table, knocking over papers and equipment. Glass shattered everywhere as Vic stood to face off with Wesker… "You got lucky on that one, motherfucker!" Vic rushed at him once more and threw more punches that Wesker bobbed and weaved around and under with ease.
Wesker grinned as he pushed Vic's head to the side while kicking out his feet, leaving him to smack the side of his head off a table. Vic moaned in pain as he tried to gather himself, but Wesker picked him up to his feet and sent shots into his body. Lefts and rights connected flush and the combo was ended with a vicious uppercut that sent Vic up into the air and then down flat on his back.
"Ahhh…" Vic moaned as he pushed himself to his feet. Blood trickled from his nose and some was seeping from his mouth. He looked up at Wesker and quickly pulled his combat knife from his boot. He swung, but it was useless as Wesker caught his wrist and turned it inward, which made him flip onto a table and through the glass equipment. Wesker sent out a side kick into Vic's chest that sent him soaring off the table and into some chairs.
Wesker chuckled as he watched Vic stumble to his feet. "SEALs ain't built like they used to be…" He said as he shook his head.
"You…" Vic rushed at him. "Son of a…!" Wesker grabbed the wildly swung punch and flipped Vic onto a table with his upper torso hanging off. Wesker then elbowed Vic in the face, which forced him to flip off the table and land stomach first hanging on a chair. Wesker followed up with a knee to Vic's face to put him down to the ground.
Vic started to stand once more. His face was a crimson mask with cuts and blood dripping from his mouth and nose. "I give you credit…You can take an ass kicking." Wesker walked up to Vic and sent a heavy blow to his face that sent him reeling back. He fell once more, but scrambled to his feet, trying to defend himself from Wesker's attacks. Vic caught a punch to the stomach and then a spinning roundhouse to the face that sent him to the ground once more.
Wesker grinned as he looked at Vic as he laid on the ground bleeding. He looked up and around to hear moaning coming near and smiled. "You hear that?" He said as he looked back at Vic. "They want to make a new friend, Vic." Wesker looked over on a table to see a surgical knife and grabbed it. "I think they want you, Vic…" Wesker grabbed Vic's ankles and slowly cut his tendons. Vic screamed in pain as he felt the sharp blade cut through him. Wesker stood and looked at Vic. "Have fun…Vic." He chucked as he disappeared into the darkness.
"Ahh…No…Come back! Don't leave me here!" Vic yelled as he tried to stand, but fell to the ground. The moans were now in the room as he heard the shuffling of the zombies. "No…Oh god no…" He cried as tears streamed down his face. He felt them grab him and then felt the teeth rip into him. The pain was unimaginable as he hoped that it would all be over soon…
A/N: Sorry it took so long for this chapter! I had a writers block and then other shit to do and…well a bunch of yada yada yada, ya know whadda I mean? I'll catch you later and thanks everyone for the support!
