Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Soldiers and Survivors. Enjoy the 1000-word chapter. I don't own Resident Evil; Capcom and a few others do.
(September 30th, Racoon city)
"Irons, you're a sick sack of crap…." Marcus muttered, he and Claire had moved around the table where Iron's office was and Marcus saw the body of Katherine Warren.
It took everything for Marcus to not chase down Irons and rip his throat out and leave him as Zombie chow…
Marcus sighed as he looked over paper after paper while he turned to make sure Sherry and Claire were safe.
"I wonder how Leon is doing…" Claire muttered while Marcus frowned and looked over another paper before turning to her.
"I think he's fine, he made it this far… We survive the night? We're leaving Raccoon City… I'm just wondering what kind of monster would be behind this…" Marcus said as he turned to her and brushed off his arms.
"I saw an elevator downstairs, he said it went somewhere." Sherry said, pointing to a corner. Marcus turned to her and then to Claire.
"You want to stay here and I'll check it out?" Marcus asked and drew his rifle; Claire moved towards the door and drew her revolver before walking down the stairs.
"I guess that's a no." Marcus said as he and Sherry walked down the stairs, Marcus heard a noise slowly building.
Marcus ushered Sherry down the stairs before he turned to see Warrior throw him down the stairs.
He flew down them and slammed into a gate, crushing it as Warrior stomped down the stairs. Marcus turned to Claire and Sherry.
"GO! I'll handle him!" Marcus yelled while he rolled and grabbed his rifle, Claire went to respond before another loud thumping sound was heard and Claire realized there was another monster following them.
"Claire, take Sherry and get to that elevator!" Marcus ordered while he fired at Warrior who turned to go after him.
Claire ran with Sherry who had already ran down the stairs, Claire turned to see Warrior slam Marcus into the wall before he growled and shot him in the head before a claw wrapped around Warrior's shoulder and threw him to the side.
"Sherry, come back here!" Claire yelled while the sound of metal creaking and gunfire. Sherry opened the doors of an elevator before Claire turned at footsteps.
Marcus was tossed down the stairs, his rifle smoking and blood coming from his arm while he looked at Warrior.
"Ow…" Marcus hissed in annoyance and pain before Warrior was punched down the stairs and slammed into the ground in front of warrior.
A misshapen human with a massive eye like tumor on his right arm, blood on his pants and a torn-up lab coat.
"Daddy?!" Sherry yelled before Warrior charged Marcus who stepped to the side and then slammed both of his hands into the BOW's face, distorting it as he looked at the human monster.
"Did Sherry just call him dad?" Marcus said as he turned to Sherry and Claire.
"I told you to go! I can handle him!... I'm not sure about the new one, though…" Marcus said as Claire opened the doors on the elevator. Marcus turned to both monsters before Warrior punched at him and he ducked only for a swipe from the other monster to knock him into the wall.
"MARCUS!" Claire yelled, Marcus raised his rifle and turned to her. Claire could see blood dripping from his chest, the swipe had hurt him, but Marcus was already on his feet.
"Go, I'm not letting them get to you both, I'll hold them off!" Marcus roared and balanced on his rifle, he panted and looked at them before closing the gate on the elevator and slamming the button.
"Marcus!" Claire yelled while the clawed monster batted Warrior to the ground, Marcus noticed that the monster had half of a body in its human hand. Marcus watched the monster grow a skull like head, his skin turned black, it had a second pair of claws ripped out of its stomach.
Irons, Marcus realized, was torn in half. The monster roared and lowered its shoulder, Marcus grabbed the pipe that the monster dropped. He turned to see the elevator descending and grabbed a flashbang from his belt.
The monster slammed him into the gate while Marcus braced himself, he hissed in pain but pulled the pin off the flashbang and dropped it.
He watched it go off and blind the monster while he rolled through the shattered gate and onto the elevator. He groaned in pain and looked up to see the monster growl at him before Warrior, its face distorted and torn with part of its vest and arm tattered.
He watched Warrior slam into the other monster, Marcus banged on the top of the elevator.
"Claire?" Marcus asked, he held his hand to his chest and was glad the chest wound was slowly drying.
He didn't know if any injuries were internal though, both Warrior and that other BOW could have torn his guts out with one hand.
"Marcus?" Claire asked as Marcus kicked on the metal roof and sighed before he realized he couldn't break through it.
"We're going to have to split up… I can't get through the roof and one of those freaks are going to damage the elevator controls sooner or later…" Marcus said before he heard a thud above him and then the elevator creaked.
"Oh… Crap…" Marcus said before the elevator began to fall, Marcus heard Claire and Sherry scream before his eyes closed and he backed out.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know it's short. Next chapter is going to be much longer, I wanted to show off G and then have Warrior wounded while splitting up Marcus and Claire which your see next chapter. Marcus is going to take a different path then Claire, but they will end up at the same place. Until Friday, Lighting Wolf out!
