I Do Not Own Resident Evil
The sound of the chopper roaring was heard throughout the distance. Leon was gazing out into the ocean as they continue to get closer to their mark. Claire had continued to direct her death glare at the Asian woman sitting across from her throughout the flight while the rest of the team sat there silent knowing not to question her about what she was doing. Ada on the other hand was silently smirking at how she was able to make the mighty Claire Redfield lose control of her emotions.
"We should be there in about thirty minutes" said Ark who was piloting the helicopter and began to pick up more speed.
"Our weapons and gear are all in the trunk towards the side we should all stock up on whatever we need before we arrive, but remember not to bring too much because mobility is key, sometimes ones speed is the key to survival" said Leon as he was instructing Andrew, Tim and Marlene. He felt no need to say anything to Claire or Ada as he was certain they both knew the circumstances.
Leon popped open the trunk and immediately pulled out his trusty silver Kendo handgun, stuffed about three magazines into his pocket he then took out his riot shotgun specifically modified make it a more stable shot and strapped it onto his back. He finished off with his personal favorite the Handcannon he had gotten from the merchant back in Spain, with spare ammo that was so graciously provided by Hunnigan after she worked out a few strings to convince Carlos of letting Leon borrow some of his ammo stash at the military base. While Chris and Jill had managed to get them to postpone the destruction of the base for another six hours seeing how Jill had personally described how enormous the facility was to the president's face.
Claire took out her specially made Samurai edge which was designed with a special white and silver motif and had the name Redfield engraved on the handle. She also took her grenade launcher and loaded it with 10 flame rounds, taking an extra 10 frost rounds and stuffed it into her pack. She finished by taking her TMP and taking about five magazines for that and her samurai edge.
The rest of the team had gotten the standard issue SMG's, each with about three magazines to spare, except for Andrew who had insisted on bringing a oversized rocket launcher despite Leon's warning.
Ada on the other hand kept it simple and took just had just her Blacktail handgun with no extra clips of ammunition.
"What are you up to" questioned Claire.
"Leon said not to bring too much equipment but your hardly bringing anything with you at all, are you that confident in your skills that you don't even need any spare ammo"
"Don't worry honey I'm sure Leon will give me a helping hand if I need it" she said with a wink at the government agent.
Leon had to restrain Claire from jumping onto Ada and ripping her eyes out. He could see how red she was and slowly soothed her by rubbing her back until she was calm. Never in his life had he seen Claire so angry and noted to himself to never be on the receiving end of one of her tantrums.
"We will be landing shortly, do you all have everything that you need" asked Ark as the facility came into view.
Everyone nodded as he began to lower the helicopter. They landed on the beach a few minutes later all the while blowing sand in every direction as the helicopter propelled. Each member grabbed their cooling sample cases and exited with Leon heading out last. Before he could go however Ark reached out and grabbed him by the arm.
"What's wrong Ark you seem a bit worried"
"I know I'm usually not this paranoid but I'm gonna have to agree with Claire this time, there's something about Ada that I just don't trust she seems to be hiding something."
"Tell me something I don't know that woman is full of mysteries"
"I'm serious Leon watch your back out there today and take this just in case" said Ark as handed him a small satellite radio. If you get into any type of trouble today remember that I'm just a quick call away, I'll assemble the team and be here faster than you can say Mila Jovovich is hideous." Leon laughed at his remark.
"Thanks Ark I really appreciate it, when I come back I'll buy you and the guys a beer."
With that Leon hurried off after the team. They continued to scour the beach, keeping their eyes peeled in case any BOW's showed up. Both Leon and Claire stayed close to Ada in order to keep a close eye on her, both knowing full well that if she decided to act out it would be more of a threat than any zombie. After about twenty minutes the group managed to find a small iron door leading underground. It looked pretty flimsy so they decided to open it with a small charge near the handle of the door. Strong enough to blow through the lock and not loud enough to alert anyone or in their case anything that might be lurking in there to their position.
"Were in, now we just need to get to the lab to recover any virus samples that they have remaining, remember stay close we don't want anyone straying away from the group if not necessary." They slowly moved forward into the darkness of the unknown facility with flashlights attached to their guns. Little did they know something was watching them, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Ada on the other hand was also waiting for her opportunity. She needed to get away from the group in order to meet up with Chang.
"What are you up to Ada you seem to be awfully weary right now"
"Whatever do you mean Leon I'm just keeping an eye out just like everyone else is" said Ada as she continued to survey the area. Before Leon could respond a bloodthirsty screech was heard throughout the hall.
"What the fuck was that" said a horrified Marlene as she raised her weapon towards the area where the sound was heard.
"Stay back you guys, Claire your with me" said Leon as both he and Claire raised their handguns and slowly approached the area.
"What do you suppose it is Leon?"
"I don't know but I rather go find and exterminate it before it does the same to us, let me go in first I'll give you the sign if it's clear" said Leon. He continued forward until he reached the corner, he immediately spotted something.
It was a researcher well what was left of him anyway, his body was decaying and half eaten, Leon had to cover his nose to try and hold back the smell. He was about to turn back when he suddenly noticed a pair of bright yellow eyes right next to him. In a split second Leon instinctively ducked out of the way before his head was taken off by a giant green claw.
"Shit" shouted Leon as he back flipped out of the way and back towards Claire.
"Hunters, I count three of them" Leon beckoned towards the reptilian monstrosities as they ran near them.
"Here we go" Both raised their guns and started firing.
In perfect unison both Leon and Claire picked off one of the hunters with ease as they scored two perfect shots in its head. Another one jumped up and went for its headhunting technique but Claire was too quick. She quickly reached back for her grenade launcher and let out a burst round onto the creature, instantly killing it and setting its corpse on fire which illuminated part of the room.
With his vision no longer impaired by the darkness Leon shot the last hunter in the chest sending it to the ground before walking up to it with his riot gun in hand. The hunter let out a desperate call for help before Leon pulled the trigger blowing its upper half to pieces.
"Crap I was too late, it called for the rest of its mates to come and help, we need to get back to the group so we can hold them off"
Both Leon and Claire quickly ran back to join their comrades, all the while hearing the pounding footsteps of the fast approaching mob of hunters behind them.
"Andrew, Tim, Marlene, Ada get ready" they shouted down the hall.
The four other members quickly reached for their weapons and started to fire into the mob as soon as Leon and Claire were out of their range. Although Ada's veteran skills managed to take down two of them with head shots the other three were having difficulty and only managed to hit the creature's torsos which only staggered them for a short amount of time before they would continue charging. They counted six more creatures in total, before Leon and Claire raised their guns and started shooting again, this time taking out another three before they were within the hunters striking range. One of them jumped towards Andrew and tried to take his head off. Andrew In a panic released the rest of his machine gun magazine onto the creature before it fell limp to the ground. Another went for Claire next intending to impale her with its claw. Claire slipped of the way and managed to land a kick on it with the heel of her boot temporarily dazing the creature before pulling out her samurai edge and sending three more rounds into its face. Both Tim and Marlene had managed to take down another one at the expense of wasting another clip out of each of their sub machineguns. The last one charged towards Claire from behind with bloodlust as it raised its claw towards her. Before it could do so Leon quickly pulled out his knife and threw it in a circular motion stabbing the hunter in the throat and watched as it screamed in pain before falling limp on the ground.
"Thanks Leon I owe you one" said Claire as she went towards him and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Is everyone ok" asked Leon as he glanced over at the group.
"I think so, might have nightmares for the rest of my life but other than that we came out unfazed" said Andrew.
"What were those things" asked Marlene
"Their hunters one of umbrella's more unique experiments to say the least" answered Claire.
"We should continue on with the mission" said Tim as he ejected his empty machine gun clip and replaced it with another.
"Wait where's Ada" questioned Claire.
Everyone in the hall surveyed the room and noticed the woman was gone.
"Shit I should have known" said Leon as he put his hand to his forehead in frustration.
"She was just here a minute ago do you think that something had gotten her" said Marlene.
"No that's the last thing you should expect when that bitch disappears, she has more lives than a damn cat" muttered Claire in frustration. She looked back at Leon who gave her a look of acknowledgement.
"We go on without her if you see her consider her a hostile and don't hesitate to shoot her or you just might be shot yourself" said Leon.
"Lets continue on we should be getting close to the first checkpoint that was labeled on the plans Jill provided us with" said Claire
"Yes maam"
From an unseen elevated platform Ada watched as they continued on without her. She pulled out her PDA and a handsome Asian man who was in his mid thirties appeared on the screen.
"I've slipped away from the group have you managed to decipher the blueprint of the building plans I stole the other day."
"Yes I'm sending you a digital copy of it right now meet me at the designated location now I have your gear, and don't be reckless we don't exactly know what Wesker had stored in this facility" said Chang.
"Don't worry; I'll take good care of myself. We'll track down Issacs when rendezvous with each other"
/
"So it seems that we have some more company the American government sure seems to catch onto things quickly, and that nuisance Trent thinks he can ruin my plans by sending Ms Wong and agent Chang to kill me, oh I have much more in store for them" said Issacs
"But for now why don't I show Ms Birkin a blast from her past"

After about an hour of walking Steve and Sherry had finally reached the end of the narrow corridors that had hindered them so much during their battle with the tyrant. They were now in view of a Gondola that would lead them to the upper levels of the facility.
"Looks like this is our ticket out of here, good thing the power was never lost in the lower levels or else we would have had to find another way to power this thing" said Sherry.
She continued to support Steve who was still a bit weak from having lost so much blood in their last battle. When they had gotten inside of the Gondola they were greeted by four zombies of whom Sherry quickly disposed of with relative ease after she had set Steve down. Fortunately for her the key for their transport was found in the pockets of one of the corpses.
"Poor bastards must have been trying to escape, something must have gotten to them before they managed to use this" said Sherry as she dangled the key with her hand.
"We should get going" with that she started up the gondola and it started moving up at a slow steady pace.
"Raaaaaheeheeheee" sounded Steve as he coughed rather loudly. A bit of blood covering his hand. Sherry rushed over to him in an instant.
"Are you alright" Sherry said with just a bit of panic.
"I'm fine just let me get some sleep for a few minutes and I should be fine"
"Alright if you insist I'll keep an eye out in case anything happens" Sherry said as she ejected an empty magazine from her Matilda and popped in a new one.
"Thanks" with that Steve shut his eyes and fell asleep almost instantly. After about twenty minutes of looking out the window of the gondola Sherry sat on the floor across from where he was sleeping. She took this time to fully examine Steve's figure noticing that even though he was wearing a large coat she could still make out a well figured body underneath. She also admired his hair which was practically identical to that of Leon's. It would give this sensation that she was safe as long as she was near him since it reminded her so much of the former RPD rookie.
"He sure is peaceful and cute when he's asleep" Sherry thought to herself. She slowly leaned forward and placed light peck on his cheek before settling back down on her side.
"I wouldn't mind getting to know him better once we are out of this mess" she thought
To her surprise Steve suddenly bolted awake.
"Did you just do something to me? I felt something on my face"
"No", Sherry quickly denied her face getting a little red
"Then why is your face getting red, what are you running a fever?" Steve questioned as he ran a hand on her face.
"No it's not like that I was just" She did not get to finish her sentence before Steve shushed her, his hand still resting on her cheek. They were both perfectly still for a few seconds. Steve took this time to admire her beauty, her long straight golden hair hanging loosly on the side of her shoulder, her flawless skin which encompassed her sleek feminine figure. Green met Blue as their eyes locked both filled with sudden lust and desire.
Without another word said Steve leaned forward and captured her lips with his, feeling the softness that she had to offer as his tongue wrapped around her bottom lip asking for permission into her mouth, in which she granted and wrapped her arms around his neck as both of their tongues wrestled for dominance.
Having been locked up for most of their lives by deranged psychopaths, neither had ever felt this much intimacy before, unfortunately for them their moment was stopped by a large crash on top of the tram. A loud frightful roar was heard before a giant claw is seen piercing the roof of the gondola.
Both had moved out of the way of the claw that had missed them by mere inches.
"What the hell is that" Sherry shouted.
Her question was answered and her fear heightened to a new level when both she and Steve noticed an enormous eye ball peeking through the newly made hole, an eye that was all too familiar to her.
