Chapter 9 The Chainsaw Manjini
It wasn't really a man. It was an infected who suffered from massive mutation. It has a sack all over its head with wires all over it. It's only using its right eye for it to see. Though the creature actually didn't have a face, it still looked scary. Yes, the creature looked scary for a scary person like Kmart. How cannot a person not be frightened with this thing when it is covered in blood even the chainsaw its holding? Kmart aimed her pistol at the head of the chainsaw man and fired but it did nothing. It stopped for awhile but walked again. Kmart is now crying and her whole body is shaking. She ran away from the creature but she tripped. She fell on the ground and her pistol flew under the Hummer. The creature neared the chainsaw to its target; Kmart who suddenly closed her eyes and began to cry. She couldn't stand up anymore. She broke her ankle when she tripped.
"Alice…" Kmart muttered under her breath. She already accepted her death when she felt the chainsaw got nearer. After one second, she heard gunshots coming from her back. She turned her head and saw Alice, running cant-like, firing her P228 at the creature before Kmart. But when Kmart looked at the creature, it looked like Alice's attempts didn't do any damage to it. It just stopped and backed away a little but it continued to walk towards Kmart when Alice stopped from firing.
Once Alice got nearer, she hovered in the air and kicked the head of the creature. It fell on the ground and was thrown a little farther. Alice went to Kmart and helped her to stand up. Kmart was still shaking and she couldn't help herself to stand up properly. Thank God Alice came right on time or else, she will be dead by now by that chainsaw man.
"Alice…"
"Don't say anything now. Get out of here." Alice said and handed Kmart the key of the Hummer. "Get out of here as far as you can."
"No I can't leave you. Alice…" Kmart wasn't able to finish her sentence when Alice glared at her. She knows she has to do what the older woman told her.
"I'll be back." Kmart said and slid inside the Hummer. She started the engine and hardly drove the Hummer. Her ankle is still aching so she can't hit the pedal properly. She moaned when she hit it forcefully. She glanced back at Alice before she lost sight of her. Alice is now facing the creature that seemed to be extraordinary powerful than she ever thought. What Alice did to the creature seemed nothing when it started to get up and walked towards Alice. Kmart prayed silently that Alice will make it alive. No. She is certain that Alice will make it. After all, Alice appeared to be super human, who can kick the ass of the creature that the Umbrella brought in this world.
Alice readied her gun as the creature started to get up and got its chainsaw its holding. Maybe long time ago, this creature's job was a construction worker. Stop mocking yourself Alice. It's time to be serious and kick the ass of this thing that hurt Kmart, she thought. Alice fired gunshots one at a time but the creature just stopped from walking but didn't moan or groan from pain. It's like it can't feel anything. Maybe she's targeting the wrong spot. Maybe its weakness is in its head or maybe in its heart. Alice grinned thinking that its weakness is in its head. Mostly they killed zombies head shot or by breaking their neck. So maybe it will work on this one. Alice aimed her gun again at its head but realized she already lost her pistol's ammo. Shit. Her blades are in the Hummer that is far away from where she is now. She couldn't use her psychic power because Umbrella is trying to track her down so if she uses it, they will probably locate her and then what? What comes next? They will find her and she will just endanger Kmart's life and the survivor they found in the mall. Hell, but what she has to do now? Out of the blue, the creature started to run fast towards Alice. The latter was surprised; she never thought that this thing could run like that. She's feeling nervous now. How she wished she has her weapons right now to turn this thing down. In an instant, the creature was now in front of Alice and it swung the chainsaw its holding to her that made her flew away and hit the concrete building hard. Good thing, the chainsaw's head was the one that hit her or else she will be probably wounded right now, or worse maybe her arm was cut into two.
Alice felt dizzy and couldn't stand up properly. She saw the creature got nearer and nearer, Alice hardly stood up and brushed her hair at the back and found some blood on her hand. She hit the wall building so hard that it made her moan from pain. She adjusted her eye sight to get a better look at the coming creature. She threw her pistol at the creature and it hit its head. The thing Alice did make the creature moan. So she's right, its weakness is in its head. Alice scanned the area to find a weapon that she can use to fight with this thing. What Alice found was just steel from broken railings of the building behind her. With all her might, she twisted it and pulled it for her to use as a melee weapon. Oh damn, she's really strong that she can even turn down a whole building. Stop praising yourself now Alice. Focus on this thing and turn him down, she thought again. Alice swung the metal but she missed the creature. Why all of a sudden, this thing knows how to fight and when to duct? Oh but Umbrella is really getting good at this. All the fucking thing they brought up in this world seem to have to mutate and have a little mind back. The creature growled, got a tight hold of its chainsaw and swung it. Alice a little alert, duct at the time the creature swung the chainsaw. She slid and kicked the right foot of the creature. Luckily, the creature fell down and dropped to its knees. It even dropped the chainsaw its holding. Alice stood up and grabbed a hold of the metal she got. She was about to put the metal on its head when the creature grabbed her wrist tightly. Alice looked at it, eyes wide with shock.
Kmart is now far away from Alice. She's sweating and felt like going to collapse from what she's been through earlier. She forcefully hit the break of the Hummer to put it in a stop. She groaned when she felt her ankle hurt even more. She breathed heavily and buried her face to the steering wheel.
"Alice…" she muttered. Is it right that she left Alice alone with that thing? No, it's not right. It's rude to leave a friend in a battle where life her own life is at risk. But that's what Alice wanted her to do. To leave her alone to finish that damn creature. And after all, she could do nothing to help Alice fight that monster. She's not skillful like Alice. She's not a super human like her. Good thing, Claire taught her how to drive a vehicle way back then. She peered up her head and turned around. She couldn't see any sign off Alice now. All the thing she could see right now was the ruined buildings around her. And what does she expect? Nothing. Nothing at all. She just wanted Alice to be back as soon as possible.
Kmart locked her eyes at the man at the back seat of the Hummer when she heard him moaned. She climbed to the back seat to check on the man. But when she looked at him, she found him still sleeping. Maybe the guy is having a bad dream. She was about to sit properly at the front seat when her eyes caught something familiar. It's Alice's blades. Oh damn it, Alice needs it right now. And now, no more hesitation. She got the blades and sat at the front seat of the Hummer. She put the blades beside her and started the engine. She's going back and help Alice. Yes, she will bring these blades to her no matter how mad she gets at her for disobeying her order. Kmart swerved right and fired off the Hummer.
Alice tried to resist from the creature's grip. But the more she kicked the creature, the more it tightened its grip at her wrist. Alice screamed as its nails dug deeper in her bare skin. Then after that, the creature stood up and tightened its grip at Alice even more. Why in the hell this thing can do such thing to her like that? And why in the hell she couldn't fight back at this thing? In just one flick of a second, the creature threw Alice away. Alice hit the glass door of the entrance of the mall making her head throbbed more and her body wounded. She screamed harder and felt her vision getting blurry. Then everything went black but before she got unconscious, she heard someone yelled and an engine of a vehicle.
"Alice!" Kmart yelled from the front seat of the Hummer. She got out of the Hummer and found the creature darted its eyes to its new prey. It is her. None other than. Once again, Kmart felt her body shake and chest pounded hard inside her chest. The creature focused on her and started to run towards Kmart leaving the teen wide eyed. She never thought that this thing could do something like that. Now, Kmart doesn't know what to do. Her life is in trouble again with Alice unconscious from the impact of her hitting the glass door.
AN: Work is getting my way now so I don't know when I will update this story. Maybe 4 more chapters to go before I put everything in end. Review?
