Pairings: Xander/Jill, Claire/Leon

Summary: AU/ Set just after the end of season three Xander goes on his road trip after Buffy and co break their friendships with him and tell him not to come back, he ends up in Racoon City just before the T-Virus leaks out. He must survive the virus outbreak along with the few other survivors as well as help them survive the vampires and demons that come out to take advantage of the situation.

(Church)

He stood on the roof of the church looking out over the large city now nothing more than a death trap, home to zombies, monsters, vampires and demons on a scale not seen in years. Since the dawn of the new century they'd had to stay hidden only ever coming out in small numbers bar where Sunnydale home of the Hellmouth was concerned.

He remembered when he first arrived there lured by the chance to serve the Master one of the oldest vampires still in existence at the time, he had thought the town and soon the world would be there even when they learned a slayer was in town as well. Hell the Master had killed the slayer and had begun to open the Hellmouth but then she had come back to life and killed him, it had taken him some time to learn the truth of what happened and it still was beyond him how a normal human could have affected what was destined so much.

According to Angelus Alexander Harris one of the slayers friends had used CPR to bring the slayer back to life in time to stop and kill the Master and then gone on to help bring down every vampire and demon to try and kill the slayer or rule the town including Angelus, the teenager had survived for three years in a place where he should have died years ago. He was dangerous and yet here he was in the same city as himself which gave him the chance to kill the boy and avenge all the set backs he'd had back in Sunnydale.

His Name was Karn, he had been born in the 1700's before been turned at the age of 29, from that point on he had served many vampire overlords and lead his own group once before they had been decimated by rival vampires and in all that time never had he met a human he could not kill easily and yet Alexander had always survived and that was something he intended to correct very soon.

The woman was the key he mused as in Sunnydale his friends and lovers were his greatest weakness and if he kidnapped her he would come to his death; he would not harm the woman until Alexander was dead at his feet, maybe he should turn both of them and start his own group once more as it had to long since he ruled and others followed.

(Sewers)

Leon paused as he entered the new lab he found himself in and looked around noting how much money must have been spent by Umbrella on this underground complex before moving into it followed by Sherry then Ada and finally Claire who brought up the rear of their group

"How far is it to the train Leon?" Claire inquired feeling a lot more tired now "Because I don't know how much further I can go without needing a break she said with a heavy sigh

"I don't think that would be such a good idea Claire" Leon said turning to her "I know we're all tired and could sit down and relax for a bit but we don't know where that Tyrant is that is following us and we don't know how long it will be before the government or Umbrella itself decides on a more permanent solution to this whole mess" he reasoned "Something tells me that we do not want to be around for that so best if we keep moving, we can rest all we want when we get out of here" he finished

"I forgot about the blasted Tyrant" Claire cursed unable to believe she had forgotten the walking tank that was tracking them for some reason as she had not seen it since the police station plus there was that thing that had killed the reporter Ben and maybe the thing who's roar had echoed around the sewers before they had gotten on the cable car

Ada almost shivered when she heard Leon mention the Tyrant as she had seen what those creatures were capable off and had no desire to come face to face with one for any reason even her mission, she wondered how they had escaped it before when it had attacked them

"We should keep moving" she spoke up causing the others to look at her "I don't know what a Tyrant is but I get the feeling it is worst that anything we have seen so far and so maybe it's best if we move faster" she lied to maintain her cover only feeling a little guilty at deceiving them

"You're right" Leon nodded and moved forward once more

(Airport)

Chris growled as he finally left the airplane after such a long trying flight grappling with both fear and determination over the situation they were once again in, Rebecca was looking even more troubled whilst Barry had become more sullen and looked more annoyed that anything else. It would seem the closer they came to Racoon City the more tense they became, he shook his head to clear the thoughts in his head as he finally entered the large terminal

"Hey look theirs David" Rebecca said cheering up at seeing a familiar friendly face before running over to him and giving the bigger man a hug

Barry remained silent and kept an eye out for any Umbrella agents that might be watching, he was feeling tenser been back here than he had close to their home office and did not know exactly why. Most likely he was feeling the affects of his nightmares of been closer to Racoon city again where this entire ordeal had begun.

No matter what his comrades had told him he would never forgive himself for giving into Wesker's lies and blackmail, it had cost good people their lies and nearly claimed the lies of Jill and the rest of the survivors of the Racoon S.T.A.R.S and he knew deep inside until this was over one way or the other he would never escape his nightmares or be able to look at his friends and family without regret and shame.

Chris moved quickly to join David and Rebecca joined a second later by Barry and then followed the man to his jeep, they listened as David gave them an update on the situation as far as they knew and knowing the government was getting involved made them all more tense

"How long will it take us to reach Racoon?" Chris asked as he sat next to David and watched the area carefully as they pulled out onto the road after Barry and Rebecca joined them in the jeep

"A couple of hours I'm afraid" David responded "We'll push the chopper as hard as we can and I've made sure we'll have spare fuel in case we need it stored onboard" he added "But we are still a long way out" he stated with a shake of his head

"Jill can hold on as long as she has too" Barry finally broke his silence "She is strong and resilient and most likely she has found others to help her" he said with force

"I'm with Barry" Rebecca said with a small smile "Jill won't allow herself to go down" she pressed making Chris and the others nod in agreement

(Church)

Xander continued to search the church alongside Jill and Carlos but inside his mind was racing at what he was going to do about the vampire from Sunnydale, he was trying to work out just how much the vampire knew about him and his adventures with Buffy and the gang. He found it hard to focus on anything else because he knew anything related to Sunnydale was far more dangerous that most things

"Alex focus please" Jill shouted as she pulled him backwards just in time to avoid having his head removed from his body by a hunter which Carlos quickly dispatched with his assault rifle from the side of him

Xander shook his head at how close to death he had been because he had allowed himself to become so distracted "Sorry Jill" he replied giving her a sheepish grin which got him an annoyed glare in response

"What is it about that vampire that has you so jumpy man?" Carlos inquired whilst making sure to keep an eye out for danger

"It's from Sunnydale home of the Hellmouth" Xander replied in a dead voice the memories of the people he had seen die as well as the friends he'd lost because of his own actions filling his mind "It's a portal to hell basically and if it ever opened it would mean the end of the world and especially the human race, vampires and demons flock to the town because the Hellmouth gives them a boost when they are close to it and it has an adverse effect on most people making them ignore what is really going on" he explained

"This vampire survived three years there in a fight against me and my former allies when nearly every other lackey of the main threats died easily and that makes him more dangerous to us as he knows me or at least seems too" he said locking eyes with both trying to make them understand what he was saying "The older a vampire is the more deadly it is to fight and we are going to have to fight this vamp to get out of this city alive I am sure of it and as it use to serve Angelus I think I know where it will strike" turning to face Jill who quickly picked up on what he was thinking by the look in his eyes

"Me?" she stated simply

"Yes you" Xander agreed "Most vamps are stupid but others are smart and try and find a weakness in the people they are fighting and one of mine is my friends and allies and I am sure he knows this so he will try and grab you to lure me to where ever he wants to fight me" he informed her

"As if we didn't have enough problems with that damn Tyrant after us" Carlos cursed with a shake of his head

"I'll be carefully Alex I promise but you need to keep your mind on what is going on right now" Jill responded and moved closer to him feeling the impulse to kiss him again to try and make him understand how worried her was becoming with his sudden lack of control "We need to stick together and stay alert or none of us will make it out of here" she stressed her point

"Your right Jill, I'm sorry" Xander admitted with a nod of his head "I will try and stay more focused from now on" he promised before moving forward again followed by Carlos and finally Jill

A mile away from the church Nicholai quickly finished murdering the supervisor he had stumbled onto with quickly knide thrusts into the man's throat ignoring his pleas for mercy, mercy as far as he was concerned was for the weak and he was not weak. He knelt and search the man's back pack and found the few notes and information the man had before adding them to his own pack and then began to head for the church wondering if any of the others had survived the attack by the nemesis tyrant

When the tyrant had come crashing through the back of the cable car he had had a second to decide what to do and had chosen to dive through the window and out of the car only gaining some small cuts and bruises from his hard landing but he had survived, he had heard an explosion a few seconds later before moving onwards.

He had come across the trail of the supervisor he had just killed pretty quickly as he was not quite and easily found and he had been surprised he had even survived this long, he had jumped the man from behind and then pulled his knife and cut deep into his throat as the man tried weakly to break his hold. He decided if Carlos or any of the others had survived he would have to take care of them so they would not escape the city alive especially the S.T.A.R.S. survivor Jill Valentine. He was sure if he managed to kill her he would get a bonus from Umbrella for removing one of the major problems the company faced
