Chapter 10 G
(Location: In front of the Raccoon City Orphanage Raccoon City Arklay county mid western USA)
Jaune and Claire couldn't be any more relief than right now. After what it seemed to be a journey of hours, they finally arrived at their destination. And they still took the short cut Kendo advised them to avoid due large numbers of zombies in the area. But they managed to get through because they were together. They reached the park until an earthquake split them apart. Jaune was on his own for a little while until he met the one and only Jill Valentine of S.T.A.R.S and one of the survivors of the mansion incident back in July. The blond huntsman she was truly highly trained as him and her were able to defeat a large worm that it was the cause of the tremors. After that, they parted ways. Jill left with the intention to safe him from whatever was the thing that was chasing after her. He knew she was going to be all right if she's that tough. How happy he was when he finally reunited with the Refield.
Once they were back together, they cut through the zombies and reached the orphanage. Finally, they took a break from the journey from the police station, to Kendo's gun shop, to the park, until they were here. The blond was still blushing remembering that Claire hugged him tightly while giving a sob. She was that worried after they got separated. Even if they were apart for like thirty minutes or less. The way he hugged her back, she wasn't bothered with it. But to him, that embrace felt so, what was the word he was searching for. Intimate, yeah that's it. And he had no idea why his heart would start racing. When he hugged Ruby after reuniting with her team at Argus it was different. It was the kind of things, friends would do. This one, was on a whole different level. Even he didn't understood what it means. Better to get rid of those thoughts and focus on what they needed to do.
After the hug, they took a small break before taking a better look at their surroundings. The building of the orphanage was in front of them. It was still in one piece. Maybe it wasn't affected by the outbreak. And it was very nice looking too. Definitely a good place to have kids. There was a path made of rocks that will lead to the building. Next to it was some grass with a wooden swing bed. Jaune was able to recognized it because there something similar to it back in his village. On the other side was a slide colored silver. It really had that environment that the it was a place for children to be. Depending how the inside looks too. Both got their guns ready as the walk stone path, reaching the small stairs leading to the double door entrance. Claire took a hold of the doorknob giving a nod to her blond companion and Jaune nodded back. There could be zombies here, better be ready just in case.
As the brunette opened the door, the Arc was the first to be inside. There were toys all around, a carpet with different pictures of animals, a toy house for the kids to play, drawings on the wall, a frame with more drawing made by kids just by looking at them. Okay, so there was nothing unusual. This is how an orphanage should look like. Everything was in perfect condition. Doesn't seem like there weren't any zombies here with how everything looks intact. Nothing like the police station which it was a real mess, destroyed windows, floor and walls covered in blood, barricades of chairs and desks everywhere. This place was still standing if it was never affected by the outbreak just like the outside of the building. The lights were on meaning, this place still has electricity or it could be a back up generator in the works. Only problem, there was no one here. It was empty, there doesn't seem to be anyone around. Jaune immediately got worried thinking of Sherry, where could she be.
"Hello!?" called Claire" we have the pendant!"
"I don't like this. I mean, not the place, it's okay and all…." then he got worried why there weren't any kids, orphanages are supposed to have children.
"I know. I have a bad feeling too."
Sherry better be all right for Irons' sake, or there will be trouble. That's what Jaune's mind was telling him. After reading the taxidermy report, the blond was sick to his stomach. If this bastard has laid a hand on that little girl, he will show the police chief the wrath of an Arc. Who knows what other sick habits he has. No, the huntsman refused not to think too much in the matter. They were finally here and they will find Sherry if they have to search the entire place to find her. There was no one no one at the reception desk. It was time to do an extensive search. Both decided to start on this floor before going upstairs. The duo went through an entrance leading to a corridor with fancy paintings on the wall. They resumed walking taking a right on the corridor. Windows, bookshelves, nothing out of the ordinary. Then chief Irons arrived grabbing Claire's shoulders forcefully.
Jaune punched him but he was still up. He gasped staring at the man. The left side of his face was red, burned. Like something harmful touched his skin. Looks like he has patched up the wound on his shoulder when he shot him at the parking garage. The older man seemed like he was very angry.
"You two...Your fault…!"
"What?"
"Took too long!"
"What happened?!"
"Where's Sherry?!" demanded the Arc.
"Damn you, William!"
Something has suddenly emerged from Iron's stomach. Some sort of small creature that shocked the two. It ran off at quick speed. Both were still shocked at what they just saw. The chief had a big hole on his stomach, he was obviously dead. Even if this man was sicked and a bastard, he didn't deserved to die like this. Jaune actually pitied him. He was still asking himself why he needed Sherry's pendant and who was this Williams he mentioned. Claire knelt down checking his pulse, she only shook his head. The huntsman didn't know what to think, was Irons infected by the T-virus. Even if he didn't became a zombie, or maybe this was the work of another type of virus. So many questions and he was nowhere to get the answers. Blue eyes, suddenly widened in shock and concern.
"Sherry…."
They entered a door where they found more stuffed animals on display. Showing how much the chief loves taxidermy. There was the body of a woman trapped between tables. Looks like she's been dead for a while. Jaune didn't wanted to know what Irons was planning to do to her. Stuff her to join his collection. There was a ladder at the end of the room leading down. The team didn't argued going down, they had a strong hunch Sherry was near. It looked like a basement as they resumed walking, climbing down some stairs. They heard sounds not too far as they continued climbing down.
"Sherry, where are you!?"
"It's us Sherry, you're safe now!" followed the Arc.
"Jaune! Claire!"
The little girl stood behind a fence. They needed to get around it. A smile and a sigh of relief was followed by the blond, happy to see her all right. He was worried and afraid that that the same thing that happened to the chief might have happened to her. She was just a little girl who was lost looking for her mother. While her father, was probably that thing they killed at the underground passage. How to sum up the courage to tell her such information. That could wait, as they went towards her. A loud bump was heard coming from the ladder. Something else was down here with them. Sherry gave a scream thinking it was the same thing that killed Irons. Pair of blue eyes widened seeing the trench coat stalker again. This guy wasn't planning on giving up.
"Go, go, go!" screamed the Redfield.
Jaune ran passed the brunette carrying the little in his arms bridal style. Claire was able to reached him but that thing, was still behind them. They ran reaching a corridor full of pipes until reaching an elevator. The surroundings, it was similar to the underground passage from below the statue of the goddess. The trio entered, pressing the button to go down as trenchy reached them. He pulled the gates opened not letting them go. The Arc drew his magnum python when he settled down the girl, the laser pointer at his head, firing. The recoil sent him back a little, something he will have to get used to. It created a hole on the thing's head before it got stabbed in the chest, by a large sharp claw. Looking behind Jaune and Claire gasped seeing the same creature they thought they defeated at the underground passage.
"Daddy…?" Sherry saw the side of the human face of the creature as her father.
"Great, so I was right all along" the blond shook his head, hating whenever he was right.
Another head has emerged next to the human one. This one, was definitely not human. It's like this thing was transforming into something new. Whatever it was, it has gotten stronger as it ripped the left torso of trenchy. So it was that strong. Jaune remembered he fought this the pale man using his aura offensively increasing his strength. It was enough to beat it and knocked it out. But it still came back up. This thing before them, was a real threat. The Arc was about to fire another round from his magnum before the creature jumped at the elevator making it go all the way at rapid speed, because of its weight. It went down so fast it crashed as it landed to the bottom. The blond did the best he could to protect Claire and Sherry but, everything around the huntsman turned black.
"Jaune…? Jaune, please...You have to wake up…."
The blond had his eyes closed still trying to get up. After what happened, blue eyes opened. His head was pounding, everything was spinning and he felt like crap. Even with his aura he couldn't saved himself from getting unconscious. Who can blame him, that elevator was going so fast. Anyone would have died. Gasping in shock, Claire. Where was she, he hoped she was all right. Slowly the Arc moved his body and saw Sherry, she seemed okay that was good. The little girl was trying to wake up the brunette. Please, don't let it be true, she couldn't be. His head was still hurting, he couldn't speak and let the girl know he was awake. Then a woman arrived in her late thirties with blond hair tied on a pony tail on her right side, with blue eyes. Wearing a white lab coat with a gray blouse, jeans, red shoes and red glasses on tucked on her blouse.
Jaune recognized the woman from the family portrait from the pendant. She was Sherry's mother and an employee for the same group responsible for this outbreak, Umbrella. The woman has taken the girl out of there and she came back minutes later to check on Claire. She was checking her eyes and trying to wake her. The huntsman felt so relief seeing her moving, she was alive. Turning the other way he saw the elevator was completely destroyed. That creature that was once Sherry's father is definitely getting stronger. With the way it killed trenchy. They better not run into him again. The blond woman stopped paying attention to the Redfield as she started studying her surroundings. The Arc was able to get up and walked over to his companion, he noticed she was hurt. He hoped the first aid spray can help. The blond helped her on her feet while Claire hasn't left her gaze from the woman.
"Not infected" she was done checking her eyes turning to the blond" and you…?"
"I'm not infected either. Where's Sherry?"
"Sherry...Sherry's fine…." the blond woman was focusing more on the destroyed elevator" such an impressive display of strength...We have to address the situation."
"Hey, are you listening?" Jaune was starting to get annoyed.
"Who are you?" she was still ignoring writing something on a notepad.
"I'm Claire."
"I'm Jaune."
"I didn't foresee this…."
"Excuse me where is she? Hello?"
"We know you're her daughter" spoke the blond.
This made the woman turned to the two" how do you know?"
"We had a hunch" the Arc had no intention of telling her that they have Sherry's pendant" you wanna tell us what is going on here?"
"I'm Annette" the woman finally introduce herself" tell me, what happened to William?"
"William?" asked the brunette.
"The thing that did this" the huntsman pointed to the destroyed elevator.
"Yes. Did you know where he went?"
"He's her father, isn't he?"
"Yes" Annette didn't deny it" and my husband. Seems to be evolving faster than expected."
"You talking about that thing? What happened to him? And where's Sherry?"
"Sherry's fine. She's not of your concern."
"We'll make it our concern. She's fine you say. Safe from that thing coming to her? He seems to be after her. Why?"
Claire was surprised by this but it made sense. The creature was present twice when Sherry was present.
"Hey! Come back here!" shouted Jaune.
"Look, I don't have time to play twenty questions. Everything's under control."
"Hardly" he muttered watching the go, he sighed.
"We sure did got a lot of answers from her" said the brunette before she groaned.
"Claire. I almost forgot, you're hurt. Must have been the fall of the elevator."
"I'll be fine, we need to find Sherry…." she gritted her teeth from the pain.
"Let me take care of this. Then, we'll go find her."
Jaune kindly asked the brunette to show him where it hurt. She lifted her black tank top showing the blond the wound. She was bleeding a lot on the right side of her torso. Taking the first aid spray he was hoping it does its job. In this world his semblance only works for himself, no one else. It stung a little as the Redfield flinched a little. But it looked like it was doing the job. Once sprayed on the wound, the bleeding stopped. The Arc smiled as his and Claire's eyes met, he backed off while his cheeks turned red. Giving a nervous smile as if nothing was going on. The brunette only rolled her eyes feeling better. Those first aid spray are a miracle. Honestly, she didn't know if she would have been able to go on with her injury. The last thing she would want is to slow down Jaune. Being a liability to the blond, she hated that, she wanted to find Sherry too since her mother wasn't being very cooperative.
Once Claire was feeling better, they decided to have a look around. If Annette wasn't going to help them find Sherry then, they will find her on their own. She couldn't have gone far. Looking around the place, asides the destroyed elevator there were some steel crates. One of them had machine gun ammo. Compatible for the Refield's sub machine gun as she took them. There was only one door in the area. Where the blond woman went. She must be long gone by now, while the Arc was healing his companion. It was hard to believe she was Sherry's daughter, she seemed like her work was more important than her own family. Since she works for Umbrella she must know what has happened to her husband, why he turned into such a creature. It can't be the same virus that turns people into zombies, or dogs. It has to be something different, something stronger. Nothing has changed, finding the little girl was their objective before leaving this city.
The room was an office. A desk, a chair, a computer, a metal shelf with nothing of interest. A bulletin board with a piece of paper on a paper clip. Claire picked it up while Jaune took a good look at it too.
Report: About "G"
The G-Virus trial will be entering its final phase very soon. Before" G"-the new creature that will surpass humans-is born, allow me to predict a few things about its biology and biological functions.
Intelligence
The subject's intelligence will begin to drop immediately, with their linguistic abilities disappearing within a matter of days. Finally, they will lose their capacity to reason and their humanity. G will be a creature of pure instinct, driven only by a need to survive and reproduce.
Reproductive Behavior
G's most remarkable feature will be its intense desire to reproduce. It will instinctively search out humans with DNA that closest matches its own and implant an embryo in them. But the chances of success are very low and if the DNA is not a close enough of a match, an underdeveloped G creature will be produced instead. I suppose the only ones who might be a close enough of a match would be any biological children of the subject, though….
Both stood with wide eyes finally getting some answers.
"Now we know why its after Sherry" Jaune was still shocked" it wants to reproduce using her since she's his daughter."
"This is sick shit. Umbrella are truly insane. What could they be thinking doing all of this. A creature with no reason that acts on pure instinct, something that is suppose to surpass humanity. It's bullshit. I can't even imagine Sherry becoming a thing like her father."
"Does Annette knows he's after her?" asked the Arc.
"She must know. She sounded earlier like she knows all about" G"."
"No. How can this be? Doesn't she care what could become of her own daughter?" the huntsman was getting angry.
Claire knew how he was feeling. She might have known little of Sherry. But she was already fond of the little girl. She didn't deserve such fate. Becoming a horrific monster like her father. The sooner they find her, the better. There was a door that leads out of the office. They tried to open it but they couldn't. There was no lock on the front maybe it was locked from the other side. No choice to back track as they went back to the place where the destroyed elevator stood. As the duo returned there was an opening in a metal fence that leads below. That was their best shot if they wanted to advance. The blond volunteered to go first. If they ran into trouble, he should be the one to face it first. The brunette followed a long corridor but their nose caught the scent of something bad. It was smelled awfully to the point that they had to cover their noses. Such stench, the smell of a sewer.
Reaching a dead end, the smell got worse. They had to jump as Jaune gave a sigh before jumping. Claire was disgusted following him. Great, now they were going to smell like shit, literally. This was the worst place they could be in this mess. Heck, the police station which most places smelled of blood was way better than this. Having second thoughts, yeah probably. But Sherry was first, so they were willing to put up with this smell if it means they will find her. It was worse because there was garbage among other crap, not making the smell any easier. It was hard to concentrate with such a strong smell. As disgusting as it is, this was an obvious place for zombies or any kind of things to popped out. It was just horrible. Their pants were already ruined from the dirty water. This path better lead them to somewhere. Because it if it's lead them to a dead end, both aren't going to be happy.
A few minutes later and they made it out of the sewer waters. It was a relief for the two, happy to be out of that stink hole. Yet, their clothes still had the stench. The duo found a tunnel path leading straight. Jaune was in thought remembering the copy of emails to chief Irons. The person mentioned something about increasing security in the sewers. Why would he want that, unless there was something here that was worth protecting. Either way, they were on the right track. If Annette was down here along with Sherry, the sewers are more than what it seems. They climbed some stairs opening a steel door. Eyes widened as they resumed climbing more stairs but there was something next to them. A cable car, transportation for the sewers. Obviously it must lead to somewhere. They ignored it for now, climbing a ladder, entering a door where there was a zombie waiting for them.
Jaune drew Crocea Mors stabbing the head. No need to waste ammo on only one undead. There were two more zombies in the room that looks like a control room. Claire fired her gun, hitting a couple of head shots. The blond huntsman cut their heads off, taking them out. It should be obvious they will be meeting undead here too. There was no safe place in this city. Once they were in the clear, the brunette picked up some flame rounds. There was nothing else of interest before the team started searching through the place. There was a piece of paper on a desk next to a computer, the title got their attention.
Copy of Emails to Umbreall HQ
Director Owens
There are alarms going off all over NEST. I don't know what's going on, but I can hear gunfire and I can't reach my section chief. We're trapped. Please send help ASAP.
Director Owens
The situation here is dire. NEST has been contaminated with the virus. It's unbelievable. The failsafe system didn't activate at all. Is this the work of the outsiders? I can't imagine who else could it be. But why? Mayer and Kim are dead. I can't stop coughing. Why won't you answer me!?
Director Owens
You...it was you all a
"NEST?" asked Claire.
"Umbrella lab, it's my best guess" replied Jaune" but it looks like the place was attacked. Why?"
"Trying to take G. It will explained from the emails the chief received. Someone was after this virus. And it was Umbrella themselves."
The blond stood shocked" you're saying Umbrella attacked their own lab, just to steal something created by one of their own employees?"
"Everyone at Umbrella is expendable. Those bastards only care for no one but themselves. They probably killed everyone that works in this lab to leave no witnesses."
"Except Annette. Maybe asking her we might get some answers for good."
"Let's not forget, we're here for Sherry" reminded the Refield.
After reading the piece of paper they resumed their search. There was a platform where they could jumped. Both jumped and jumped again landing in another floor. A wide room with a long crystal on the outside. Jaune gasped seeing Sherry on the other side. Was she in some sort of garbage disposal. That was the least safe place to be in right now.
*Sherry...I told you, I cannot leave here until my work is done.*
"That's what you always say" replied the little girl.
*Why didn't you stay in the house? It was safe there.*
"I was scared. Those things were everywhere and-"
*You should've called the police! That's what we taught you.*
Jaune got angry at Annette's comment. Seriously, the police. They've been to the station, there's no one left alive with the exception of Leon. How can this woman be so naive. Didn't she knew that Raccoon City was going under a zombie outbreak. That there were little survivors left. She should be grateful her own daughter was still alive. Instead, she was upset at her because apparently her work is more important than her. The Arc didn't like this woman. What kind of parent would leave their child behind while she goes to work in the middle of a freaking outbreak. It's no wonder why Sherry left, there was no place left to run. Why she immediately trusted him and Claire. This girl deserves better than having self centered parents. One already turned into a monster and is currently after her while the other doesn't care and wants to finish whatever is she's working on.
"I did, but nobody came. You didn't answered your phone, so-
"Yeah they were all dead, while many of them turned into zombies" the blond thought with sarcasm.
*Sherry, I don't have time for this!*
The camera where Annette was watching her turned off. The blond girl didn't felt so good as she slowly fell to the ground. She was unconscious.
"Sherry!" gasped Claire.
"She doesn't look good" followed Jaune glaring thinking of her mother" and Annette isn't going to do a damn thing about this?"
"Too busy with shit to help her own daughter."
"Fine, it's better that way. If she's not going to do something about her, then we will. Let's find Sherry and get her to safety."
"Right. Mom of the year wants her to stay in that garbage disposal."
The Arc agreed with the brunette. Both were unhappy with how Annette is treating her daughter. What could be more important to do, than the well being of her own child. Better to get off their anger and maintain focus in saving the girl. In the same room where they were, there was a document that got their attention next to a VCR. Jaune picked it up. It surprised the blond that at the bottom right corner there was a symbol of two of the chess pieces of the Knight. The same piece Ruby picked during the Beacon initiation at the Emerald Forest. It was called KNIGHTS Construction Co.

Well that made sense why the paper sounded like they were playing a chess game. The founders of the construction company were all chess fanatics. Still, this information wasn't that useful for their current situation. Not a single clue on how to get to Sherry. But they took the time to picked up the sewers map, very useful They have already wasted enough time here as they kept on going forward. The duo saw a steel door closed saying" Warning Keep Out". Next to it were three control panels. The first panel had a hole and a red light, like something goes in. The second had something, Claire remove it. An electronic part with the end the shape of the Knight piece. The third panel had a picture that said" Knight Plug" obviously they needed to put the Knight Plug in this one. Putting it the red light turned green, which it was good. There was a desk with a bulletin board and a piece of paper, the team hope will tell them more about the panels.
Unlocking the U-Area Door
I lost the thing that tells you how to unlock the door to the U-Area during the last mad dash of a transfer. I know you have to stick one plug into each terminal, but if anyone remembers which plug goes where, please be a pal and share by posting the info on this board.
On the other side there were three control terminal panels. Jaune knew it wasn't that hard. They just needed to put the plug in the right terminal where the picture is. So, this puzzle wasn't going to be annoying. Like the one with the medallions. The blond swore if it wasn't for having Elliot's notebook they would have never figure out the right combinations to retrieve the three medallions from the statues. The brunette took the plug from the fourth panel, the Bishop Plug. However, not all terminals had the picture to where put the right plug. Okay, looks like they will have to think things through to solve this one. The Arc took the guess of putting the Bishop plug in one of the unknown terminals and he got it right. The red light turned green. Claire looked at him and he smiled, beginners luck. But some plug ins were missing so they won't be opening the door for now.
Going through a new door. It didn't looked they'll be able to get to the other side. Until they saw a lever with a red light. Pulling it down, the light changed to green. A loud sound was heard as a large steel platform rose from above until reaching the designated area. Now they had a way to cross over. Jaune thought, ever since arriving at the sewers, it's been easy. A couple of zombies here and there, but that hardly to what they've been through since they arrived to Raccoon City. As long as they don't run into Sherry's father again, they will be fine. It worried the Arc at how strong the creature must have become. He killed trenchy without trying. Yes, he fought and beat the bio weapon, but he was able to get up like all of those attacks didn't hurt it. Just how strong it was now. That's why they had so many strong weapons. Hoping it will be enough to stop him for good this time.
There was nothing on the right side except for a dead body. No need to check if it will get up, so they went to the left side seeing a door that had the sing of" Exit" in red lights. But they kept on checking straight ahead seeing a tool, resembling a lever. They kept going climbing down the stairs until reaching a dead end. There was nothing of interest so the duo back tried using the cable car but failed. Since it had an electronic lock saying a message that an" ID wristband" is needed to operate it. So they back tracked going to the exit door, it was the obvious course of action. Taking the door it was dark, so Claire used the flashlight taking some stairs going down. There was a zombie at the bottom. Jaune took the chance because it had its back turned not noticing them yet. The blond stealth killed the undead with his sword. Going through the right corner, there was a lever with a red light above.
The light turned green giving them access to another sewerage. Both groaned at the same time knowing they have to walked over the grotesque water. For some reason, Jaune pulled his Remington shot gun having a bad feeling all of the sudden. It didn't happened the first time they crossed the dirty waters. But something told him, to be prepared. Claire has already taken her grenade launcher, the weapon still had a few freeze rounds left. She also had more flame rounds as well as acid rounds. Crossing over more piles of garbage and other crap. They left the waters heading into a path where there was a blue door next to a sing of a lever going into a panel, with some arrows showing the direction where to turned. Both looked at each other, the red tool they recently picked up, the red lever. Putting the lever and turning it in the right direction, made the door opened.
The team crossed a straight corridor where there was a small desk and a key. It had a red tag with white letters that said" sewerage no entry zone". They will be needing this key if they wanted to traveled further into the sewers. And probably, get to Sherry. There was a ladder leading down into more garbage while ahead a long stair case leading up. They took that way facing another door that could be opened with the red lever. But the panel to use it was destroyed, so they couldn't open it. Leaving the two with the choice to take the ladder. Great, once again they were going to get their clothes wet with shitty water. Not to mention the smell was getting worse, when they climbed down. It was dark, so the Redfield kept using the flashlight. This place was creepy compared to the others. The brunette really wanted to leave this place and find Sherry. The smell was sickening her to the point she might throw up.
"Enjoying your stay?" she thought making conversation will help her deal with this horrid place.
"No. It stinks, I hate it."
"Join the club. Nobody wants to smell like shit."
"I can't believe Annette will let Sherry stay here. I know this city is not safe but here...It feels worse than the police station."
"She didn't looked good when we saw her. I hope she's okay."
"We'll find her and get her out of here" the blond gave a soft sigh trying to keep it together.
"You, okay?" Claire sounded worry.
"Asides from being in this dump, I am. I'm still trying to get over the fact I'm no longer in my world. And into a whole new one with zombies and other creepy things created by an evil company. Yeah, trying to make the best of it" he chuckled at the last part.
The brunette sympathized with him. She was still having a hard time believing his crazy story. But it didn't meant she was going stay silent and not say anything. Jaune was her friend, companion and has already saved her a couple of times. That was something she will never forget.
"I'm sure your friends are doing fine."
"Yeah. I know they can take care of themselves but I have a right to worry."
"Sure. I'm they're all thinking all worry about you too. Specially, your girlfriend."
Jaune did a double take turning to the Redfield" girlfriend?"
Crap, she didn't meant to say that. Or did she. Claire cursed mentally, she wasn't thinking straight. Remember she was in a city infested by zombies and they were trying to survive, help Sherry and find a way out. There was no time to be thinking if her blond companion was single or not. It wasn't like her in the slightest. When she recently started college, boys was never in her head, or even girls for the matter. This whole situation was so different than starting a new education level.
"Sorry. I'm sure you must have one" she saw his expression like he was dumbfounded" or is it a guy?"
"No, I don't swing that way! And I don't have a girlfriend. Well...I kinda did" his blue eyes softened thinking of Pyrrha.
"I shouldn't be bringing such a stupid ass topic. I'm sorry, Jaune."
"No, it's okay. But I don't have a girlfriend, though I was close once. Never been good at that sort of thing. Being popular with the ladies was never my forte."
"I never thought of having a relationship. I was more into my studies and my bike, foremost. I love traveling with it. Crossing the road, feeling the wind on your face, its a great feeling. While listening to some rock."
"You like rock music?" the surprised the Arc smiling" what kind of rock do you like?"
"I listen to all kinds of it. Classic, like Bon Jovi, newer stuff like Pearl Jam, Guns N' Roses my favorite. Sometimes, I like to listen to heavier stuff like Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth, Iced Earth too, can't forget those guys. Anyway riding on my bike it makes me relax and all my troubles go away. Best gift Chris could ever give me for my birthday. And it reminds me I left it back at the gas station, fuck" she glared reminding her of the mistake, she hope her Harley was okay, it better be left untouched like she left it.
"Sorry about your bike. I'm sure it must be doing all right" though he has never heard of those bands before, he'd only listen to Cassie Williams back in his world.
"That is, if no zombie has decided to take it for a joy ride."
He laughed at her comment.
Claire smiled. It did took her by surprise that he didn't had a girlfriend, though. Jaune is cute, strong, dorky, kind and he's good with kids seeing his interaction with Sherry. Heck, he was a nice candidate. There we go again, the brunette erased the thought as he cheeks got a little red. Good thing it was dark, and the blond couldn't see her face.
"Claire…?"
The brunette saw at what the blond was looking at. There were some dead bodies among the piles of trash. Something has emerged from the stomach of one of them. A small creature. It looked similar to the one that emerged from chief Irons' stomach back at the orphanage. This really gave Jaune an even bigger and badder feeling than before. He tightened the hold of his shot gun, knowing the safety was off. He heard something moving from the waters. Turning to his companion, the Redfield nodded, she heard it too. There was something in the sewer waters, and they didn't like it. The huntsman's feeling got worse as something, did emerged from the dirty waters. It was a creature with an eye, similar to the one Sherry's father has become. Claire fired freezing it briefly, the Arc followed firing twice as it was shattered to millions of pieces. Just what was that thing.
Another eye creature emerged, this time behind them. Jaune called to his companion to run. It was hard to do so, when they were in the water. Another creature emerged and was able to grabbed Claire. The Arc immediate fired his shot gun making it let the brunette go. She hit it with the freeze round as it was shattered by the blonds' weapon. The huntsman reloaded while the Redfield has ran out of freeze rounds. She changed to acid rounds. They continued running the sewerage waters while more of those monsters were appearing. If they resemble Sherry's dad, could they be related to G. Remembering what they read from the G-virus report if the person that was inserted by a G embryo and it wasn't the right DNA to adapt, it could underdeveloped. Maybe these things were failures from merging with G. Which means William must have infected many people in an attempt to survive according to its instincts. Or maybe it could also be Umbrella's doing. It explains why he was after the little girl.
Relief was in their features as they saw a door at the end. But two of those G monsters emerged. The Arc threw a flash grenade while Claire threw a hand grenade. The flash and the explosion hurt them. Giving the duo time to escape. They left the waters and entered through the door. Both stood behind it, the brunette was panting. While the blond was beyond relief, taking the chance to reload his shot gun again. How he wished they were still at the police station. Those things can be worse than lickers. If it weren't for their weaponry, it would have been harder to get passed by them. Jaune thought of actually fighting them with his sword and shield. Maybe they weren't as strong as William and they didn't seem to be changing like Sherry's father. The sewers were starting to look like a maze more complicated than the station. One thing was for sure, they have had enough of this shitty place.
"That is one place we're not back tracking...Ever" said the huntsman though he had a feeling they will be back tracking.
"Couldn't agree more" followed the Refield.
To be continued
-I admit this version of Annete I didn't like it. The same as always loves her work more and chasing at her monster husband than the well being of her own daughter. But in the end I felt sorry for her because she realized her mistake. Though I feel more sorry for Marvin and Kendo than her.
-Oh Capcom why didn't you made freezing rounds in this game too? They could be even better than the flame rounds.
-So I went with canon and Irons dying getting a G embryo implanted courtesy of William. I would have prefer a very slow, painful death for all the horrible things he's been involved in. He was nothing but a dog of Umbrella obedient to them. Who knew very well how many people died because of their experiments. He gets no pity from me.
-Replying to reviews:
*schoolruler- we'll see I haven't said" I'm not doing anything" I said I will think about it if I want to take it further after the events of this story.
*Zilla- thank you for liking the chapter I knew Jill's cameo appearance would make it good.
*Ray Q Cina- I had to put Jill in this story like I said RE2 and RE3 are connected because they take place in the same city. Also I wanted Jaune to meet her at least a member of S.T.A.R.S. Still thinking if he will meet Chris in the future.
*BlazefireDrago- I know Nemesis is my favorite bio weapon that's why I can't wait to see it in the RE engine when they release RE3 remake.
*CT7567Rules- yeah Operation Raccoon City is my least favorite game. It wasn't the characters honestly, I like the Wolfpack it's just that it felt like playing one of those shooters like SOCOM and it really didn't felt like a RE game to me. Even RE6 makes more sense to me even if it wasn't a survival horror but more action oriented.
*The Emerald Mage- always love your continuing support and I have to add Thriller and Night of the Living Dead. I'm sure Claire knows about zombies. Also Claire and Jill are my fav RE ladies. I would love for Jaune to take them both at once. Triple sandwich lol (pervy grin). Claire doing the Thriller dance lol.
*Guest- the only cursed word used in RWBY was Tyrian calling Ruby a bitch and it shocked me a lot. I mean the series is action packed with some violence but they don't curse hmm...That doesn't make sense to me. So from now on Jaune will be cursing too since being with Claire is influencing him a lot in that department.
*Edrap- if you want to accept my" Resident Huntress" challenge just PM me to let me know. I'll look forward to it.
*Guest- yes I believe both RE2 and 3 are taking place at the same time. Same day too September 27.
*Guest- what? Reproducing by aura merging? I don't think so though Miles and Kerry haven't said anything about it. I don't think that's the thing. If they make babies it has to be the old fashion way, I mean the only way.
*Valerious Lake- I don't think Jaune will return to Remnant. Don't know about the harem either. It's Jaune/Claire but who knows what the future has in store.
*warrior of six blades- thank you for liking the chapter and I think Jill is already pissed enough at Irons that he's not doing shit about Umbrella because she knows he works for them. And I like the idea of Chris and Jill beating the crap out of that old fat bastard.
*X3runner- you're right Jaune is the perfect soldier Umbrella is looking for. But he's human, all natural instead of a horrible bio monster lol. We all know Claire has an emotional side but the one from this version didn't show it much. Yes, she shows she cares for Sherry but no so lovingly like in the original. With Jaune present, her emotional side will be shown more often.
*Guest- that's another great idea for a story. Have to write it down for a challenge story.
*wagner- thank you for liking the story.
*merged zamasu- anyone knows characters from DBZ or Super are OP as hell. Black is enough to kill both Ozpin and Salem with one ki blast. But Ozpin will reincarnate only to get killed again, rinse and repeat lol.
*Jack Lycan- maybe, maybe not. We'll see at the end of the story.
*MidKnightMoonglow99- Hunk might show up but he might not encounter Jaune and Claire in the story. I have some space to put him anyway.
*Greer123- thank you for liking the chapter I had to include Jill and some Nemesis.
*Masked Guest- I appreciate your suggestion and criticism but the story is more focusing on Jaune and Claire in her story. Whether its really a crossover or not I can be interpreted as you see fit. Maybe not, since there aren't any elements of RWBY asides from Jaune. But like I said thanks for the criticism.
*Guest- yep I actually forgot the name of the worm lol.
*Storm Marine- thank you for the review and continuing support. And I don't think Jaune will be returning to Remnant don't want what a kingdom like Atlas would if they ever get their hands on the T-Virus or G-Virus.
*Jedi Mastrt- it's cool no biggie but it would be cool if there were lightsabers in the RE universe.
*commandosquirrel- I don't think they will see Jill again, the cameo was a one thing only sorry.
*Guest- don't know but I already have a challenge story with Ruby in the RE2 remake universe helping Leon A or B scenario. Also I would like to add Oscar too. Don't know about adding other characters from RWBY.
*Super heavy weapons guy- thank you for liking the chapter and no I couldn't bring Nemesis full in the story just a little tease.
*Spartan Warlord- a kukri knife? I don't think they have those in Raccoon City. Not even Kendo would have one.
-As always thank you very much for the favs, follows and reviews I really appreciate it.
Next time: No turning back
