Enduring the Evil 2
Disclaimer: This is my second Resident Evil story and the sequel to the previous 'Enduring the Evil' which was requested by a few friends after they said how much they liked it. Of course, I was obviously most likely going to do another one anyway. The story is the Resident Evil plot but due to some changes I have put into it, it is non-canon. All OCs in this story belong to me and my friends, Resident Evil and all of its characters etc belong to Capcom. Story has been updated, all spelling mistakes and errors that I could find have been fixed.
Chapter 10 - Last Stand
Electric Service Tunnel, 4:35 AM, 'Claire, Sherry, Alex, Jamie, Bryan, Danny, Connor, Scott'
The group managed to finally make their way into an unexplored area, after a recent encounter with a giant crocodile. It was thanks to Scott that they managed to escape death again. But Jamie, despite being very thankful that Scott is there to protect everyone, is very annoyed that they always have to run to him for help, it made him feel so helpless, like a weakling, he was jealous, and it annoyed him greatly.
The ceiling above them shook for a second, dust and rocks fell from the ceiling as they passed by.
"What was that?" Connor asked.
Alex shrugged. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's nothing serious, let's keep going."
Claire took point and made their way at the end of the tunnel and into a large area, up ahead was a cable car.
"Fuck yeah! This is just what we were looking for! This should definitely take us somewhere that may lead out of the city!" Connor shouted.
"Quiet! There could be zombies wandering around." Alex said.
"Right, sorry." Connor replied.
"You guys go into the cable car, I'll turn the power on." Claire said.
Jamie shoved past the others and was the first to get in, then everyone else followed. After a quick second, the lights came on and Claire entered the cable car.
They watched as Claire pressed the switch, and the cable car began to move, and it took them to the other side.
"So, where do you think this cable car goes?" Jamie asked.
Claire turned to him. "I wouldn't know, but it must lead to somewhere, hopefully an exit."
Alex looked out the cable car window and saw they were approaching their destination. The cable car stopped and they exited it into another area.
"Claire, you take point." Alex said as they approached another door.
Claire nodded and entered into another tunnel.
"More tunnels? Jeez." Connor said.
Scott just moved his way to the front of the group and immediately went on ahead alone.
"Scott don't go off alone!" Alex shouted and followed him.
Already, there were a few zombies in sight and made their way towards the group, but Scott took them down quickly without any effort.
"Zombies here too? Is there anywhere that the zombies didn't reach?" Jamie complained.
"Let's find out." Scott said moving on through another door and into another tunnel.
Jamie sighed. "I swear if we end up in ONE more tunnel..."
"You'll ask me to shoot you in the head? Ok." Scott replied.
"N-No! I was just kidding! Damn Scott!" Jamie shouted.
Everyone let out a bit of laughter as they made their way to a ladder.
"Ok, everyone, one at a time." Claire climbed up the ladder, followed then by Danny, Bryan, Connor, Jamie, then Alex.
Scott kneeled down next to Sherry, who just stared at him, still frightened by his intimidating presence.
"Climb on my back Sherry." Scott said.
"What?" Sherry replied, a confused expression on her face.
Scott turned around. "Climb onto my back, I'll carry you up."
"O-Ok..." Sherry didn't test his patience and did what he said, climbing onto his back. Scott stood up and climbed up the ladder. Sherry was light, it was like he didn't have her on his back at all, which just made it all the more easy to reach the control room above.
"You took your time." Connor said.
Scott kneeled down so Sherry could get off. "Thank you, Scott." Sherry said with a smile.
"Hmph, no problem." Scott said, not even so much as a smile in return and just walked through the next door.
"Don't worry about him Sherry, he doesn't mean to be like that." Alex said.
Sherry nodded. "I know..."
Everyone followed through the door and into a large, clear open area, it was a turntable yard, and there was a turntable cabin up ahead.
"Nice! Now that definitely has to go somewhere!" Connor said.
Alex nodded. "Yeah, let's go, but stay cautious." The group moved on to the outside part of the yard then climbed up onto a ledge and into the cabin.
"Ok, there has to be keys or something that can start this thing up." Danny said.
Scott approached them and handed them something. "Here."
Claire took the keys and turned to Alex. "I'll start it up, you stay here."
"Ok."
Claire exited the cabin and jumped down the ledge to start the turntable up, inserting the key into the control panel and then activated the switch. A horn followed and filled the air, which was obviously a sign to her that it was about to move so she ran back inside the cabin, after which the turntable started moving.
Everyone inside just remained silent for a minute, listening to the sound of machinery, and then they felt the turntable descending. Finally, they had a chance to rest.
Warehouse, 4:40 AM, 'Leon, Ada, Stuart, Marc, Louise, Nathan'
Everyone decided to take a short break and sat down around the table inside the room, they had already gotten quite far, but the big question was, just how much further did they have to go?
While Leon and Louise were off looking for some supplies, Ada was sitting down, reading through some papers she had just found, at the corner of her eye though, she could tell Stuart, Marc and Nathan were watching her.
"What's wrong? You think I'm going to shoot you when your back is turned?" Ada asked not taking her eyes off of the papers.
Stuart shook his head. "No, not at all, we're just curious..."
"Well you're being curious about the wrong person, maybe it's Leon who you should be keeping an eye on." Ada said.
"Why's that?" Marc asked.
Ada put the papers away and faced them. "Think about it, how do you know he isn't infected? He is a cop after all, and like all the other cops in this city, he could eventually turn into another zombie."
"She might be right about that." Marc said turning to Stuart.
Stuart shook his head. "A small chance of that happening I'd say, as far as I know, he is perfectly fine, I doubt he's infected by this damn T-Virus or whatever the hell it is."
"Believe what you want." Ada replied standing up. "Say...you wouldn't happen to have any other friends around here would you?"
Stuart raised a brow. "What's it to you?"
"Just curious." She replied again, this time with a friendly smirk.
Marc nodded. "Yeah, we got six other friends right now who are wandering around, they're probably ahead of us I'd say."
"And what are their names?"
"Umm, Alex, Bryan, Danny, Connor, Scott and Jamie."
Ada turned her back to them. "So it is them." She quietly whispered to herself.
"Why do you want to know? Do you know them?" Nathan asked.
Ada faced them again. "No, I just wanted to know, that's all."
Leon and Louise came back into the room. "Sorry, we looked everywhere but we didn't really find much."
"It's ok, we need to be moving on anyway." Ada said.
"Right, let's go guys." Leon said to the others. They nodded and followed them over to a small red elevator, to which they went down. After a short minute, they arrived at the area below, but to their surprise, there was a woman up ahead, who just gave a surprised look at them before she ran off.
Ada's eyes widened and ran after the woman.
"Ada!" Leon shouted.
As Ada reached the corner, the woman fired a gun at her.
"Heads up!" Leon shouted pushing Ada out of the way, taking a bullet in the process.
"Leon!" Stuart shouted.
The woman fired off a few more shots before running through the door.
"Leon, that woman was...I have to talk to her." Ada said standing up.
"Hey you're just going to leave him there?" Louise asked.
Ada shook her head. "No, you're going to look after him." She ran off.
"Hey!" Stuart ran after her.
"Stuart!" Marc shouted.
Nathan stopped him. "Let him go."
"But Nathan!" Marc tried to protest but Nathan just shook his head.
"We can't leave Leon alone here, we'll wait until he wakes up." Nathan said.
"Ok..." Marc said and sighed as he looked at Leon's wound. "Anyone got a fucking medical kit?"
Stuart ran through the sewer area, ignoring the water that slowed him down, he was intent on following Ada and finding out why she was really here. He climbed up a ladder and saw Ada just jump down on the other side, he quickly sprinted after her and as fast as he could, climbed down the ladder and managed to catch up with her just in time.
But as he was about to start talking, a gunshot silenced him.
"Don't move..." It was the woman from earlier, the one who shot Leon. "You're the ones who is with that cop, if I'm not mistaken. Identify yourselves."
Ada spoke up. "Ada, Ada Wong."
The woman raised a brow. "Ada Wong...I've heard that name before, now I remember...one of the men from Chicago who came to assist with the T-Virus research used his girlfriends name as his password, Ada and John I believe?"
Ada's eyes widened. "How did you know? Who are you?"
"Annette Birkin, my husband is the man responsible for the creation of the T-Virus, William Birkin."
"What?"
Annette continued. "John's dead, he became one of those zombies, my condolences, and although I regret this, you will be joining him shortly. I won't let anyone take the G-Virus away from me."
"G-Virus?" Ada replied with confusion on her face.
Stuart just watched the two of them, he didn't want to risk getting shot and so remained completely silent.
"It's capable of creating the ultimate Bio Weapon, its potential is even greater than that of the T-Virus."
"Then that must mean the creature in the police department is..."
Annette nodded. "Precisely, my husband William. And it's all Umbrella's fault. None of this would have happened if they didn't try to steal his research away from him..."
Her eyes widened as she looked at the pendant around Ada's neck. "Where did you get that pendant? It looks exactly like the one I gave Sherry."
Ada shrugged. "She dropped it, I've been holding onto it for her."
"Liar! Give it back to me!" Annette shouted.
Ada sprinted at her and grabbed her gun. The two struggled to get each other over the edge, Ada however eventually slapped Annette in the face and sent her falling over. A splash was heard right after they heard Annette scream.
"Too bad." Ada said smirking.
"What have you done?!" Stuart shouted at her.
Ada turned her back to him. "I defended myself, what do you think I did?"
"She could have helped us! She might have known a way out of here!" Stuart continued.
"She worked for Umbrella, the same company that was responsible for this outbreak and the deaths of your...of many people, would you have done any different?" Ada asked.
Stuart turned his back to her and hit the wall. "Damn! I-I don't know...I just..." He sighed.
Ada opened the pendant, there was a picture inside, but then she opened the picture, inside was a small tube, and in the tube was a sample of the G-Virus. "This is it, I've finally got it, now to take care of the other part of my assignment." She quietly whispered to herself.
She turned to Stuart and put a hand on his shoulder. "Come on Stuart, let's go and find your friends."
Stuart nodded. "Alright..."
Leon awoke, Nathan, Marc and Louise were by his side, but the first thing that was on his mind was where Ada had gone. "Ada?" He said, breathing heavily.
"She followed that woman, don't worry, Stuart is with her." Marc said.
Leon stood up and held his hand against the bullet wound near his shoulder.
Louise put her arm around him to support him. "I'm so sorry Leon, we managed to stop most of the bleeding but we didn't have anything to patch you up with."
Leon smiled at her. "It's alright, you do what you can, I can't expect anymore than that." The four of them walked on to find Ada and Stuart.
Turntable Cabin, 4:45 AM, 'Claire, Sherry, Alex, Jamie, Bryan, Danny, Connor, Scott'
Silence was the only thing that filled the air, besides the sound of the turntable still descending, everyone was busy thinking about everything they went through ever since the beginning of the outbreak.
The memories of their dead friends was what ran through their minds the most as they were in the same situation that took the lives of two of their friends, while Claire thought about Sherry, but Sherry didn't seem to be thinking about anything right now.
Everyone was then alerted when Sherry began to breath heavily. "Claire...Scott, my stomach, my stomach hurts!" Sherry fell over on her side and lay down on the wide chair.
This made them nervous, the moment she said that, they knew exactly what was wrong with her. Obviously they were too late, considering she was in pain, it was clear Birkin had found Sherry before they did.
Claire ran over and kneeled down beside her. "Hang in there Sherry!" Claire gasped and turned to Alex and Scott. "Her forehead is burning up, I've got to hurry before the embryos pupate!"
Alex nodded. "I know, when we reach the bottom, we'll get right to it-" He was silenced by a loud bang on top of the cabin followed by a growl.
"That doesn't sound good." Connor said.
Scott checked his shotgun before going over to the door. "You guys stay in here, I'll take care of it."
Alex shook his head. "Forget it, we're helping."
"Suit yourself." Scott said.
Claire walked over to the door and checked the switch. "I'll have to make sure I lock the door behind us, so whatever it is doesn't get to Sherry."
Jamie sat down next to Sherry. "I'll...I'll stay in here and look after Sherry."
Alex nodded. "Good idea Jamie, we'll be back." He exited the cabin, followed by everyone else, and the door locked behind them.
"Ok, so what now?" Bryan asked.
"We find whatever made that sound..." Alex said.
"And kill it." Scott finished for him.
The group jumped down from the cabin and made their way to the open side part of the turntable, only to be stopped by a lead pipe that was thrown in front of them.
"What the fuck?" Connor said as they all turned their eyes to the source of what threw the pipe at them.
A giant monster that looked more like a mutated human, it growled in pain as blood started to spray out of its body, its head sinking down to the chest, as a new head formed, its giant arm got bigger and huge claws emerged from it.
"Ohhhh shit." Connor said as the monster jumped down to them.
"It's BIRKIN!" Alex shouted.
"Take him out!" Everyone began unloading as many bullets as possible at Birkin but he was not even fazed at all by them.
Bryan fired his mp5 but Birkin still wasn't taking any fatal damage from the bullets. He turned to Bryan and attempted to cut him down with his claws but Bryan ducked and rolled past Birkin and continued to fire, this time with Danny and Connor's help, while Claire, Alex and Scott shot at Birkin from a distance.
Birkin charged through Bryan, Danny and Connor, sending them to the floor, he then attempted to impale Connor but Danny and Bryan grabbed Connor and pulled him out of the way just in time.
Alex ran over at Birkin and pushed his gun against the new mutated head of the monster and fired off another shot, but even a shot to the head didn't do any damage as Birkin knocked Alex back with his smaller arm.
"Alex!"
Birkin grabbed Alex by the throat with his normal arm and was about to impale him with his mutated arm until Bryan, Danny and Connor jumped on top of Birkin's back, restraining him and tried to tighten their grip enough to force him to let Alex go, which he did.
"You leave our friend alone you prick!" Connor shouted.
Bryan held one arm around Birkin's new head and used his other hand to grab his knife, which he then started using, stabbing away at Birkin. "Take it! Take it all! It's all I can fucking offer!" Bryan shouted as he stabbed Birkin in the head and the back several times, not caring about all of the blood that splattered all over him.
Danny just used his knees to hit Birkin while he restrained him, Birkin turned around several times, swinging his arms and roaring like a mad beast, trying to grab them, trying to get them off of him. He managed to use his small arm to hit Connor out of the way, then he grabbed Danny and threw him at Connor, Bryan continued to stab him over and over until Birkin managed to grab him off of his back and throw him over the edge.
"BRYAN!"
Bryan was holding on, barely though. "I'M FINE!"
Danny ran over to him and helped him up, Birkin made his way towards them but was stopped by Alex, Connor, Claire and Scott. He decided to go after them instead and charged them, but they moved out of they way, only for Birkin to knock Connor into Alex. Claire fired off more bullets at him and this time Birkin showed a hint of damage, but he used his small arm to grab Claire and threw her at Alex and Connor, who caught her just in time.
Scott fired his shotgun at him, the shells started to go into effect as Birkin started to take a step back.
"You like that? How about more!" Scott shouted and fired his shotgun again, Birkin took the shells and made his way towards Scott and swung his mutated arm at him. Scott saw this coming however and ducked just in time, he fired one more shotgun shell at Birkin before dropping it and taking Birkin on with his fists.
"Scott you're crazy!" Claire shouted.
Scott jumped up into the air until he was at Birkin's height and delivered a powerful punch to the mutated head, which sent Birkin back a few steps. Scott didn't waste time and attacked again, delivering powerful punch after powerful punch at Birkin's chest where his old head was, and he was actually doing some damage to Birkin as he showed signs of pain.
Danny helped Bryan back onto the platform and they both turned to Scott and Birkin who were fighting it out.
Claire stood up and together with Alex, fired off several shots at Birkin to support Scott. They had the advantage for now, but Birkin managed to dodge one of Scott's punches and kicked him away, and then made his way over to Claire and Alex and knocked them back down to the floor.
He turned to face Danny and Bryan, who immediately started firing at him with their guns, the bullets started affecting him a little but not enough to stop him from reaching them.
Both of them got to their feet and at the same time they delivered a kick to Birkin which pushed him back a bit. But he made his way back to them and grabbed Danny, using him to hit Bryan to the floor, then he threw Danny at Alex, dropping the both of them to the floor.
Scott revealed his two berettas and started firing away at Birkin, the bullets were powerful enough to make Birkin growl in pain, but Birkin didn't stop there as he charged towards Scott.
Birkin attempted to impale him with his giant claws but Scott easily dodged them and backed away while firing his guns at Birkin. Connor joined in as the monster was approaching Scott who continued to back away while firing his guns.
Connor's gun clicked. "SHIT! I'm out of ammo!"
Bryan and Danny were barely able to stand, Alex and Claire got back up one more time and attempted to take Birkin down with their guns. But it didn't last long when Birkin knocked Alex's gun out of his hand and hit Alex into Claire, bringing them both to the floor once again. As he attempted to finished them off though, Scott intervened and drew Birkin's attention towards him.
Birkin fell to one knee and growled in pain.
"CLAIRE! MY SHOTGUN!"
Claire looked beside her and saw Scott's shotgun, she picked it up, ran over to Birkin and pushed it right into the back of Birkin's mutated head, firing it and creating a huge hole in his chest.
Birkin got up and limped towards the edge of the platform.
Scott threw his guns down and sprinted towards Birkin. "You ain't going anywhere!" He shouted as he charged towards Birkin.
With all of his strength and weight, Scott successfully rammed Birkin over the edge, but the side broke and Scott fell over with him.
As Scott attempted to regain his balance to stop himself from falling off, Birkin grabbed onto the open wall and used his small arm to hit Scott right off the platform.
Alex's eyes widened immediately after he saw Scott get hit off the platform. "SCOOOOOOTT!" All he heard was Scott's roar as he fell.
Birkin crawled back up the wall and disappeared into the darkness above.
Bryan and Danny immediately got back up and fired like crazy. "YOU SON OF A BITCH! GET BACK HERE YOU MOTHERFUCKER! GET BACK HERE!"
They both fired their weapons until they clicked, running out of ammo.
Alex ran over to the side and looked down, he could see the bottom, but he still couldn't see Scott. "SCOOOOOOOTT!"
5:00 AM
"Sherry..." Claire quietly muttered as she kneeled down next her. Sherry just groaned, struggling to resist the pain.
Claire just shook her head and picked her up, carrying Sherry in her arms as the platform reached the bottom.
Jamie followed Claire out of the cabin. To his, slight relief, he was glad to see everyone was okay except, Scott.
"Where's Scott?" Jamie asked.
Everyone all had their heads down, looking at the floor, except Alex who was looking around.
Jamie's eyes widened and shook his head. "No way, don't tell me Scott's..."
Bryan glared at him. "NO! HE IS NOT DEAD! HE CAN'T BE!"
Danny just put a hand on his shoulder. "Bryan, I believe he is still alive, let's just look around, Claire, you take Sherry into that room over there."
Claire nodded and carried Sherry away into the room up ahead.
Alex looked over the edge to see if Scott was underneath the turntable platform, if he landed anywhere, it would be in a tight space.
"GUYS!"
Everyone ran over to where they heard Connor's voice. "I FOUND HIM!"
To everyones relief, they saw Connor helping Scott out from tight space he was in. Danny and Bryan, Alex and Jamie approached and helped him out also.
"Oh my god, Scott, I'm so glad you're all right!" Alex said.
Scott just looked at them, he had quite a good bit of cuts and bruises.
"You all right man?" Connor asked.
Scott slowly pushed them away from him, and immediately, his leg twisted and he fell face down to the floor followed by a growl.
"Oh shit..."
Bryan checked his injuries and stared at Alex in shock. "Alex, his fucking leg is broken."
Alex kneeled down next to Scott. "Scott can you hear me?"
Scott glared at him. "I'm fine...!"
"No you're not, don't try to hide it Scott, you have a fucking broken leg, you are not even close to being fine."
Scott looked down and sighed.
Bryan and Danny, with Connor's help picked Scott up and carried him over to the room up ahead.
Upon entering, Claire's eyes widened when she saw them carrying Scott. "Scott! Please tell me he isn't..."
Alex shook his head. "No...he's..." He turned back to the others who set up a couple of chairs and lay the injured Scott down on them.
"His leg is broken, some of the bones in his right hand is broken and he has a lot of cuts and bruises."
Claire gasped and turned to Scott. "Scott..."
Scott tried to sit up. "S-Save...your damn sympathy, I don't need it."
Alex shook his head. "That's enough Scott, you aren't going anywhere."
Scott lay down again and sighed. "I never thought I would be the one that would end up like this, and slowing everyone down."
Alex shook his head. "You haven't slowed us down, you took Birkin out, if you didn't then we would all be dead."
Scott just remained silent.
"How did you survive the fall Scott?" Bryan asked.
Scott closed his eyes and spoke. "I managed to grab onto something to slow my fall, but obviously...it wasn't enough to prevent this."
Everyone all just looked down at the floor, unable to believe everything that had just transpired, Scott being unable to help them any further being one of the things.
Claire decided to go on without everyone and was about to exit until Sherry spoke up. "Claire?"
She turned and walked back over to Sherry. "Oh, you're finally awake."
Sherry looked at the red jacket she was wearing. "Isn't this..."
Claire nodded. "That's ok, you keep it, I'm sure it'll keep you safe."
Sherry managed to smile. "Thank you Claire..."
Alex just stared at her, there was clear sympathy in his eyes aswell as the eyes of everyone else, even Jamie, and a hint of it in Scott's eyes as he looked at her.
"Even though, I'm an only child, neither of my parents ever spent much time with me, because of their work. I grew up alone, but, now that you're with me, after meeting Alex, Danny, Scott and the others, I finally have some people to rely upon..." Sherry turned away from them and began to cry.
Alex and the others just continued to stare, there was no denying they were all feeling sorry for Sherry, because of the life she was living.
Claire shook her head. "Sherry, rest here for a bit, I'll be right back, as soon as I've found the antidote for you."
Danny kneeled down next to Sherry. "Don't worry Sherry, we will find the antidote, I promise."
Sherry smiled. "Thank you, Danny."
Claire walked over to Scott and handed him his shotgun. "Here Scott, could you look after Sherry while we're searching for the antidote?"
Scott used his left hand to take the shotgun and nodded as he sat up. "Yeah...sure..."
"Please take good care of her, and please, take good care of yourself." Claire said.
Scott sighed. "I'll do what I can..."
Alex spoke up. "Scott, even though you're in this condition, we are still relying on you, look after Sherry until we get back, don't do anything stupid, please."
Scott closed his eyes for a moment and then faced him again. "Ok...I promise, I'll look after Sherry until you get back, but do me a favour and find something to help these wounds."
Bryan nodded. "We will."
"Thanks Scott." Claire said.
Scott just turned away.
"Alright, let's go." Alex said, and the group exited the room, in search of medical supplies and the antidote for Sherry, only this time, they were to do it, without Scott.
Authors Notes: Chapter has been updated. For anyone who was probably disliking Scott because he seemed almost invincible, here's the chapter that shows the trick I put into this story, I was building him up so much, that eventually it all went downhill after the fight with Birkin. I hope this chapter satisfied any expectations anyone had, Scott may be down, but he sure as hell ain't out, he doesn't go down that easily, again, he himself has his own secrets that explain his strength, but from hereon out though, he won't be fighting alongside the others anymore, sorry if anyone doesn't like the sound of that but that's just the way things have to happen.
