Chapter 10 : Primal Instincts

Another hallway stretched out right in front of the girls. The walls were made of concrete and seemed worn out. The only things that decorated it were several spiderwebs hanging from the ceiling, and a lifesize armor directly at the right from the entrance.

"Looks like the maid missed this place" Tomo joked, looking at the dust collected on the armor and the webs nearly hanging in her face.

The six walked up a set of stone steps, and at the right of them was another armor holding a round shield in front of itself. No ordinairy shield though, it had several spikes sticking out of it. Starting from behind the armor was something that looked like rails, running all the way around the corner. After going around it, they saw another armor in the back, holding up a much larger shield. From the floor right in front of them, a small pedestal stook out, holding something shiny. Tomo reacted to this like a crow and ran up to it.

"Sweet! A key!" she cheered. It was placed in an indentation in which it fitted perfectly. She kneeled over and tried to pry it out. However, when she got it out from there, her eyes fell on some writing engraved on the pedestal.

"May whoever takes this emblem find peace in death"

Yomi glanced at the walls surrounding the pedestal. The hallway was suspiciously wider here, and small rails coming from the back of the walls were barely visible on the floor. She then looked at the rails on the floor. They were interrupted right behind the pedestal, but then continued until they reached the armor in the back.

"Tomo! Don't! It's a trap!"

Just then, the small pedestal lowered itself into the ground, and the walls to the left and right from them closed in on them, now making this part of the hallway just as narrow as the rest of it. The armor in the back moved forward, stopping right before the now lowered pedestal, trapping them. And right after that, they heard a mechanism being triggered around the corner, followed by a sound of something rolling along the rails.

"Oh, no! Damn! Tomo, put it back! Now!" Yomi shouted.

Tomo started panicking, and with shaking hands, frantically tried to push the key back into the indentation. But while trying to push it back in, it shot out of her hands, and fell into the fissure between the pedestal and the floor.

"Fuck!"

From around the corner, the knight armor with the spiked shield was steadily coming towards the trapped girls. The shield was now spinning fast, and four huge crooked blades were sprouted out of the side.

"Oh no! It's coming right for us! We're gonna be turned into minced meat!" Osaka panicked.

Kagura winced at the incoming danger and took a step back. "Tomo, for the love of God, hurry up!"

Sakaki held Chiyo close to her, but she knew if something wasn't done fast, she could no longer protect her.

Tomo squeezed her hand through the fissure, angling for the key she could barely touch. "This can't be happening! Are we gonna die here? Come on you stupid key, just a little more..." she thought to herself, sweat seeping out of her skin and her heart racing out of control.

The girls could now feel the wind being produced by the spinning blades as the deadly fan was now dangerously close, ready to shred the helpless girls into many bloody pieces in a matter of seconds.

"Goddammit Tomo! What are you doing!?" Yomi yelled desperatly.

"Got it!" She pulled out the key from the small space, scraping her hand in the progress, and quickly pushed it back into the indentation. The armor stopped in its tracks and the shield stopped spinning, the spikes nearly poking into Yomi's skin, and moved backwards again as fast as it came. The walls spreaded out, and the armor trapping them moved to the back again. The pedestal raised from the floor, as everything returned to the original state.

Tomo rolled over on her back, panting and sweating, her heart beating heavily. She let out a deep sigh of relief. "Damn...close call..."

"Oh man, I thought we were done for" Kagura sighed deeply, leaning on her knees.

"Th...that was scary!" said Osaka, joining into the same pose as Kagura.

Yomi wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead. "I'll say... Dammit Tomo, I told you to be careful around here! That was such an obvious trap!" she scolded the wildcat.

Tomo was still catching her breath on the floor. "I...I know, I know. But don't worry, I just got an idea!"

Tomo crawled up to the pedestal again, but reached into her sidepack this time. "Hmm, let's see, I know I put it here somewhere. Ah, there you are!" She pulled out the fake key she found in the dog collar.

Kagura looked at her confused. "Heh? What are you doing?"

"See? Same key, but a phoney one! Now I know what I'm supposed to do with it." she answered.

"Ooohh, I see!" Osaka replied as she knocked her fist in her palm. "You're gonna put the fake one in place of the real one to fool the trap!"

"Yep!" Tomo smirked. "You're not that much of a knucklehead after all. Haha!"

"But I thought you were the leader..." murmered Yomi.

"You think it will work?" Chiyo asked.

"We'll see soon enough won't we?" she cried, and she pulled the real key out of the pedestal again. One second later, she placed the fake one in the indentation and...

"Yee-ha! See? I told you! I'm so good!" She made a little victory dance while holding the key up in the air.

"I have to admit, not bad for an idiot like you" Yomi commented.

Tomo didn't feel like reacting to this, she felt way too victorious for that. Instead she looked at the back of the key, and a symbol of an armor was etched into it, just like the one on the fake key.

"Ahah, the armor key! Finally! We're getting somewhere here guys!"

Yomi closed her eyes and crossed her arms. "You know, you're cheering now, but you don't know what's gonna be behind those doors."

Tomo just shrugged. "Who cares! We'll see that once we get there right?"

Sakaki interrupted their little conversation. "Hey ehm, there's something else over there, at the end of the hallway."

Next to the armor with the large shield was an opening, leading to another section of hallway with a door in the back. Not even trying to open it first, Kagura automatically looked below the doorknob.

"A helmet. Looks like we can't open this one yet."

Having no more business there, the girls headed back, walking past the armor that had almost killed them all, and went through the door back into the mirror hallway. They figured it would be a good time to check back to that stairway they skipped previously, so they ignored the dead super zombie and walked through the door they used to get there. Now standing at the top of the stairs, they once again heard the groans coming from the bottom. Tomo and Kagura nodded at eachother and slowly walked down, signalling the others to stay put.

"I sure hope they know what they're doing..." Yomi sighed.

Only a few seconds later, two gunshots were heard, perfectly in synch, followed by two thuds.

"Oh yeah, take that!" Tomo's voice sounded from downstairs.

The rest followed down the stairs, and saw two dead zombies lying almost next to eachother, both with a chunk of the head missing.

"Wow, that was quick!" Yomi said in amazement.

"We're getting the hang of this huh?" Kagura smirked.

Now on the first floor again, another hallway with several windows was in front of them. But at their right, almost underneath the staircase was another door. Sakaki turned the doorknob without hessitating much, and behind was a small room with a bed, a desk, a cupboard filled with several small bottles and a shelf.

"A resting room. Perfect, it feels like my arms are gonna come off." Yomi said, while placing the heavy grenade launcher against the wall.

Tomo and Osaka sat themselves on the bed. It felt very comfy, and most of all, they wished they could use it to sleep on, but there was no time for that. Osaka yawned long and stretched herself, and like everyone had pointed out before, it was an amazingly beautiful yawn.

"Hmmm, this bed feels so nice. Makes me all sleepy..." she said lazily with her eyes closed.

"Haha, Osaka, you still got it!" Tomo laughed.

Kagura took a seat on the chair that was standing near the bed, leaning her left arm on the back side of it and her right hand on her knee.

"Feels good to take a rest every now and then" she said in a relaxed tone.

Chiyo sat on the chair in front of the desk, looking through the several items on it. There were some books, some laying open, and a notepad with a pen next to it. Nothing really important was written on it, as it just seemed to be some sort of administration. Meanwhile, Yomi was looking through the boxes on the shelf, and Sakaki was checking the small bottles in the cupboard. They seemed to be medicines, but most of them were expired. What caught her eye on all these bottles was the same logo she saw in the hotel lobby.

"Umbrella?" she murmered.

"Hmm? What was that?" asked Tomo.

Sakaki turned her head. "All of these medicines are produced by Umbrella!"

Kagura shrugged. "So? Don't you remember what that guy Wesker said? Pretty much all of the medicine around here is made by Umbrella."

"Well, yeah, that's true." She decided not to make a big deal out of it, but continued to look through them. There were some that read Paracetamol that weren't expired yet, so she stored those in her sidepack.

Yomi's search didn't obtain her anything though, so she just sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall. Her thoughts drifted off, her eyes fell shut. Her mind started racing.

"What if we never get out of here? What if we can't find an exit and are forced to die here? No... I can't think like that. We will get out of here, all of us. We just have to keep looking."

Yomi didn't say these words out loud in order not to demotivate her comrades, but these thoughts have been haunting her ever since they got there. In secret, she was the most anxious of the whole group. Despite her keeping a straight face all the time, she just felt like crying. She never admitted this, but she actually needed Tomo to keep her optimistic in times like this, although she was a full blown idiot at times. She looked up at Tomo sitting on the bed, still smiling even under these circumstances, and it made her feel a bit jealous.

"Damn you Tomo-chan. Why can't I be like that..."

After taking a break and reloading their weapons, the six headed out in the hallway again. There was no sound. The rain outside was now nothing but a drizzle, so no sounds from outside either. It was quiet, way too quiet. Cautiously walking past the windows, because they remember what happened last time, two more doors were in front of them. One at the end, and one to their right. Opening the one on the right revealed an old study room. Another desk, another cupboard, and more boxes and other garbage stacked up filled the room. A shotgun sat against the cupboard, but was useless as it seemed to be completely crooked, like someone had smashed it against the wall. The drawers on the desk couldn't be opened, and nothing interesting rested upon it. Wanting to move on as fast as possible, they ignored this room and tried the other one. The indentation of the armor was below the doorknob, but since they had this key now, there was no problem. Tomo wasted no time and unlocked the door with the key she claimed fair and square. Behind it was another dark hallway, splitting up in two before them. After checking her map, Tomo noticed that going to the right would lead them back into the dark hallway, and following the one in front of them would bring them to a desolate room. Also, there were two more doors in the hallway on the right, also leading to single rooms. Taking one thing at a time, they followed the hallway in front of them, walking past some windows with faint moonlight shining in. A zombie suddenly smacked against one of the windows loudly, making all the girls jump in unison. Trying to squirm its way in, making it look like it was rubbing itself against the glass, the lungs squeezed out carbondioxide, condensing the window near its gaping mouth, while its hand tapped the glass continuously.

"Wow, that was quite a scare!" Kagura puffed.

"I sure hope that window can hold it" Yomi said while holding her heart that was now beating in overdrive from the adrenaline.

Chiyo was obviously startled out of her wits, as she was once again latching on to Sakaki shivering. Sakaki simply placed her hand on her head to comfort her.

"It's okay Chiyo-chan, it's not getting in."

Leaving the undead creature alone, they went around the corner with the door directly behind it. The room behind the open door had a big fountain right in the middle, surrounded by plants that didn't seem to be in a great state as they had a dull green, yellowish colour. All the way in the back was a dirty semi-transparent wall and a big shield held up against it. On the shield was a grey object, but they couldn't see what it was from there. Looking at all the plants, this seemed like a botany room.

Tomo placed one hand on her hip. "Well, nice change of scenery for once"

"What's that thing in the back?" Kagura wondered, pointing to the strange grey object.

Osaka kneeled down by the dying plants, holding the leaves in her hand. "They haven't been watering these. Poor things are all shriveled up and such... Huh? What's this?" Her eyes caught a long and thick vine on the ground in between the plants. She poked it a few times and it started moving. As dull-witted as she is, she poked a few more times until it suddenly retracted quickly. Her face shocked and she shot up. "Oh my Gawd! It's alive!" she shouted, making everyone else turn their heads at her.

"Wh...what is?" Tomo asked anxiously.

Suddenly, several tentacle-like arms shot up all around the fountain, wiggling around ready to grab a passing prey.

"Oh my! A living plant?!" Kagura said in disbelief, "I thought I already saw everything!"

"Eew, that thing is disgusting!" said Yomi, "but at least it can't reach us from here."

"But what now?" Sakaki spoke up, "I don't think it's gonna let us pass like that."

"We should kill it!" Tomo exclaimed. "Kill it with fire!"

"And how do you want to do that?" Yomi frowned. "Here, take this lighter and go burn it!"

Tomo paused for a moment, then sweatdropped. "Ehm,...no...no thanks."

"How about this?" Chiyo's voice sounded behind them. The little girl had found a big paper bag standing in the corner. She lifted it up with both arms and showed it to the rest.

"Oh, I see, it's pesticide! Good find Chiyo-chan!" Yomi applauded, to which Chiyo smiled.

"But how are we gonna get it to that thing?" Kagura questioned.

Her question was quickly answered when Tomo flipped a switch on a device placed against the wall. There was a vat filled with water attached to it, and water began spraying out of the fountain in the middle of the squirming tentacles.

"Through here!" Tomo answered triumphantly with a wide smile.

They quickly poured in a good dose of the chemical in the water vat. This gave the water a light red colour. Only a few seconds later, the water coming out of the fountain also turned red, and the green tentacles started flailing around wildly. If the thing could talk, it should have been screaming in pain by then. Not long after, they plummeted to the ground, twitched a bit, and then stopped moving altogether.

"Hehe, too easy!" Tomo jubilated. She moved to the back of the room and placed her hands around the object on the shield. It was a grey mask with both eyes missing and a small red bulge on the side of the forehead. "Heh? A mask? What's this..." she interrupted her own thoughts when she suddenly remembered a certain book they found.

"Wait, the four masks, the mask that cannot see evil... I get it now! But first..."

She peered over her shoulder and got an evil smile on her face.

Meanwhile, all the others were huddled up around the dead mutated plant. Sakaki attempted to touch it, but Yomi stopped her.

"Don't touch it Sakaki. We don't know what it is."

"It looks a bit like an octopus" Osaka commented. "It's all slithery and stuff."

"I don't think it's an octopus" Yomi sighed. "It died from the pesticide, so it has to be some kind of plant."

Chiyo was staring at the remains of the strange creature when she noticed someone standing behind her. She turned her head and was now staring directly at a scary, grey, dead face with two holes where the eyes should be right behind her shoulder.

"BLAARGH!"

"YAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" Chiyo turned pale and small tears formed in her eyes, right before she stormed up to Sakaki and grabbed hold of her, now shivering.

Tomo took the mask from her face and started laughing out loud.

"Hahahahahaha! You should have seen your face Chiyo-chan! Hahahahahaha!"

"Th....tha...that's mean Tomo-chan!" she weeped stuttering.

Kagura got a decent chuckle out of this, but Yomi wasn't that amused. "Hey, stop messing around Tomo! What is that?"

"Why, a mask of course!" she smiled. "We have to put this in the crypt below the graveyard."

"We have to do what now?"

Kagura looked up. "Oh that's right, the mask that sees no evil. We have to place this on one of the stone faces in that crypt!"

"You mean from that book?" Yomi asked.

"Yeah, there should be three more of these. I guess we have to find them to..." Kagura paused for a moment.

"Awaken evil..." Osaka finished her sentence.

This gave everyone the creeps, but they had to do what had to be done. They figured it was probably just a metaphor anyway. Since there was nothing else of interest in the botany room, they made their way back into the hallway.

The zombie behind the window was no longer in sight, but the glass was now cracked. In fact, they felt that it could shatter into pieces the next time something would hit it. They fastened their pace, not feeling comfortable at all, and safely made it past the windows. Quickly turning around the corner, they came across a T-shaped crosspoint. To their left, a short section of hallway with a door, and in front of them the door leading to the dark hallway and another one on the right hand side.

"So, which one first?" Kagura asked no one in particular.

"Hmm, let's say... to the left, since its closer by" Yomi responded. Behind the door in the small segment was a very tight room. Nothing there except a gold head of a tiger against the wall, with no eyes to speak of. In front of it was a little sign and it read : "A tiger glowing with blue and yellow light."

They didn't really know what it meant, but it seemed suspicious enough. Unfortunately they didn't have anything on them that was even blue or yellow, so they couldn't do anything in this room.

"Okay then, time for the other door I guess." Tomo stated.

While making their way to the door on the right hand side, a loud shattering noise was heard from back in the hallway. The girls stopped in their tracks and swiftly turned around startled. The cracked window was finally broken, so something made its way inside.

"A zombie?..." Tomo whispered.

"No, listen!" Yomi whispered back.

A soft tapping noise and some heavy breathing could be heard. But the tapping was in a way too fast rythm for a zombie. A bit later, the thing started grunting.

Osaka pulled a straight face, eyebrows frowned. "A dog then?"

"Probably. It's coming, get ready!" Yomi still whispered.

Tomo thought this would be a good moment to take out her camera again, since she hadn't used it in a while and Yomi told her to film as much as possible. When she turned it on, the sounds gradually got louder. Kagura and Sakaki readied their guns to shoot whatever it is that was coming around the corner.

From behind the corner, a monkey appeared, resembling a baboon but without the long snout and the red buttocks. The fur was snow white, but the skin was torn in several places, muscles bulging out. It was like the muscles had grown so much that the skin could no longer handle it. The feet and hands sported sharp and vicious looking claws, same for the teeth, long pointy fangs sticking out like those of a vampire. Tomo zoomed in on the primate's face with her camera, and the eyes were black except for the irisses, they were blood red.

"A monkey?" said Osaka.

Yomi gazed at the new horrid creature, feeling like screaming. "Th...this is bad! Someone shoot that thing!"

Kagura didn't hessitate and fired a round out of her handgun, but the monkey quickly dodged it by jumping sideways.

"What?! It dodged!" Kagura yelled.

Just then, the monsterous ape let out a bloodcurdling shriek and dashed towards the girls. Kagura and Tomo kept firing, but the primate was too fast and nimble, dodging every bullet, forming several bulletholes in the carpet and the walls.

"Crap! It's too fast! Get outta here!" Kagura screamed.

Everyone turned around and ran towards the door at the end of the hallway as fast as they could, ignoring the door they originally wanted to check. Sakaki made it first and quickly turned the key in the keyhole, unlocking it. But before she could open it, the monkey leaped in the air and landed on Kagura's back. She screamed, waving her arms around in panic, trying to push the creature off. Its claws tore through Kagura's clothes and she could feel them digging into her skin like sharp daggers.

"Argh! Help! Get this thing off me!" she cried out. She frantically stumbled around, her arms trying to reach behind her back. The monster hissed as it sunk its claws deeper into her back, small drops of blood trinkling down.

"Kagura-san! Hang on!" Tomo pulled out her dagger and ran up to her. She tried to grab the creature by the neck, but it tried to bite her in the process, making her pull away her hand. She then pulled her dagger back and thrusted it forward, digging the blade into the spine of the ape. It shrieked again and let go of the girl, falling to the floor with a thud and tried to get back up by pushing itself upwards with its arms. Giving it no chance, Tomo fired a round into the monkey's head, splattering chunks of its brain on the carpet.

They lead the still bewildered Kagura out of the hallway and in to the other. Yomi examined her wounds with her flashlight. There were 8 gashes right below her neck, the blood seeping out of them coloured her once white shirt red.

"Awww, damn! Damn that monkey!" Kagura cussed. "Is it bad?"

"Not as bad as it seems, but I'm not taking any risks. I have to clean those wounds immediately." Yomi answered with a serious face as she took out the first aid kit from her pack. "Sit down please."

Tomo huffed angrily. "Man, what was that thing! It was so fast we couldn't even hit it!"

Chiyo had a concerned look. "I just hope Kagura-san is okay. I hope she doesn't get infected!"

"Don't worry Chiyo-chan, she's in Yomi's hands now. She'll be fine" Sakaki assured her.

"Okay Kagura, I know this is an awkward request, but I need you to take off your shirt."

Kagura looked at Yomi with an embarrassed face. "A...are you sure? You can't do it like this?"

Yomi shook her head. "'Fraid not. It's in the way, I can't patch you up like this."

"Well, okay then. If I have to..." she agreed. She slowly took off her shirt and let Yomi clean her wounds with a piece of cotton drenched with desinfecting alcohol. It stung like hell, but she stayed strong, biting her teeth. After the wounds were desinfected, she cut off some patches and neatly covered the sores with them. She then wiped off the remaining blood at the bottom of her back with a piece of cloth, and with that, Kagura was all ready to move on.

"There, that should do it! Now nothing else will be getting in those wounds." Yomi said with a smile.

Kagura stood up and wiggled back into her shirt, now with several holes in the back. "Thanks Yomi-san. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're a professional nurse!" she chuckled.

Yomi started laughing. "Haha, no. It's not that hard you know. I just did what everyone would do."

"Yo, Kagura-san!" Tomo called out. "You okay?"

"Yeah. It stings, but it won't slow me down. It will take more than a stupid monkey to do that!" she grinned, while bending her arm and placing her hand on her biceps.

"Kagura-san sure is amazing!" Osaka said dryly. "I don't think I would be so cheerful after something like that!"

"Yeah, she's strong!" Chiyo sparkled. "I wanna be as strong as that when I grow up."

"Good to see you're okay." Sakaki smiled to Kagura.

"Yeah yeah, no worries!" she smirked. "Anyway, let's go check on that door down there."

Standing in front of the stairs and looking down them, the walls were crude and the wall paper seemed to be ripped off. At the bottom was a creepy looking door next to a lit lamp. The door had a fenced window in it, but it could not be looked through since it was so dirty. Slightly scared, Yomi glanced at Tomo.

"After you."

Tomo grumbled and descended the stairs, Yomi following with the heavy cannon in her hands. Kagura and Osaka next, and Sakaki and Chiyo were in the back. Turning the knob was useless, but another symbol was beneath it.

"A sword huh?" Tomo said. "Sakaki-san, pass me the key please!"

Sakaki reached for the key and passed it forward. Tomo unlocked the door and slowly opened it. She peered inside and only saw a few shelves, and a strange smell met her.

"Huh? It's a kitchen!" she called when she had opened the door completely.

The kitchen had a large table in the center, with pieces of rotting food scattered all over it, as well as some dirty pots and pans. Flies swarmed around the spoiled food, and even some maggots crawled over it. The wall was tiled with small white square tiles, but they were so filthy that they didn't even appeared to be white. Some refridgerators stood against the walls, and the stove was just plain dirty. It smell of it all was terrible, but the amount of walking rotten corpses and several more dead bodies made the girls get used to the stench.

"A kitchen in the basement? I thought it was gonna be some torture room or something" Tomo laughed.

"Uck, it smells like those zombies in here." Yomi waved her hand before her nose.

Like it was an impulse, Tomo walked straight to the fridge and opened it. The outside may have been dirty, but the inside was quite clean. There was no rotting material in there, but there were a whole lot of cans ranging from beer to soda.

"Hey, Tomo, what are you doing?" Kagura asked from behind her.

"Heehee. Is anyone else thirsty?"

Tomo took out a cool can of beer and showed it to the group. "See? There's more where that came from. And it's not expired!"

Yomi pulled a questioning face. "Are you going to drink that? You're too young to be drinking alcohol."

Tomo laughed it off. "Meh, who cares about that. Last time Yukari-sensei stopped me, but she's not here now. Or are you going to stop me now Yomi?"

Yomi shrugged. "No, you do whatever you want but..."

"Great! Here!" Tomo tossed Yomi a can as well. "You should have at least tried it once don't you think? We're not kids anymore. Except for Chiyo-chan, but there's soda in here too."

Yomi looked at the can of beer, not sure what she had to do with it. Tomo took out 3 more and tossed them to Kagura, Sakaki and Osaka, then gave a can of orange soda to Chiyo.

"Heh? Me too? But I never drank this stuff before" said Osaka.

"All the more reason to do it!" Tomo cheered.

Kagura and Sakaki were just staring at their cans. None of them had ever drank beer before, so they didn't know if they were going to like the content. But they all were thirsty, since it's been a while since the last drink.

Yomi walked up to Tomo as if she was about to hit her again, but held up the can in front of her. She then put her finger underneath the lid and pulled it up, making a fizzing sound as the foam oozed out of the opening. Her straight face turned into a smirk. "You're right. Why the hell not! We might as well try it now before we die."

"I hope that was a joke" Tomo chuckled, and proceeded to open up her can too.

Soon, Kagura, Sakaki and Osaka all followed in this. But Chiyo suddenly pulled on Tomo's shirt.

"Ehm...Tomo-chan, can I...ehm...I want one too" she stated hessitantly.

"Eh? Really?"

Yomi disciplined her. "No Chiyosuke, you're too young to drink that. You're only 13!"

"Now now Yomi" Tomo waved her hand. "It's not like it's gonna kill her! Besides, in some countries, kids her age are already drinking alcohol!" Tomo reached inside the fridge and pulled out an icecold can for her.

Yomi pushed up her glasses. "Fine then, but don't drink too fast okay? We don't want you getting sick."

Chiyo smiled and nodded. "Sure!"

Yomi stook out her arm towards Tomo, and Tomo clinked her can against hers, smiling widely. The others did the same, and they were now huddled in a circle, arms stretched and clinking the cans.

"What are we toasting to?" Kagura asked.

"To us! And that we may get the hell out of this dump" Yomi exclaimed.

"I'll drink to that!" cheered Tomo.

"Sounds good enough for me!" said Osaka.

"Yes! Let's do this! All of us together!" Chiyo smiled.

Sakaki smiled and repeated what Chiyo just said. "All of us...together...as a team!"

The girls looked at eachother silently for a few seconds, feeling even stronger as a team, and of course, as friends.

"Cheers!" Tomo shouted.

"CHEERS!" they shouted in unison, as they poured the cold, bitter liquid down their throats with big gulps.


Wata : Another tough chapter, but a lot happened didn't it? Yes, I decided to throw in a new enemy, but one that doesn't appear in Resident Evil 1. The monkey is called 'Eliminator' and only appeared in RE Zero. It's a nasty little critter, always annoying the hell out of me. Also, fanservice scene! XD Now then, let's listen what the girls thought of their first taste of the divine, gold-coloured beverage known as beer.

Tomo : Bitter, but I liked it!

Yomi : Ditto!

Kagura : Never tasted something like this, but I could get used to it.

Osaka : It made me shiver, it was too bitter! But a nice aftertaste.

Chiyo : My head was spinning a bit afterwards. Maybe I AM too young for this.

Sakaki : It was...interesting... What percentage was it?

Wata: And I love it! ^^ Leave a review, or if you have a suggestion, feel free to PM it to me! That's all for now. Look forward to the next one! Cheers!

PS : I do not condone alcohol consumption by minors, and no lolis got drunk while writing this chapter.
