We are finally at the homestretch! This is the final scenario of file 1. I am excited, aren't you? I know I am^^
Our survivors are finally reunited once again into a dark secret. What will they find here in the only university in the entire city? You going to have to read it and be prepared!
-Outbreak girl
Destruction, Darkness. We quickly raced forward knowing all too well that each decision we made held newfound hope or endless despair
"Hm, so they finally discovered my location…"
An old man slumps into a chair adjusting his glasses as his face shows no concern. In fact, it is amusement more than anything, along with a sense of smugness. A computer monitor faces him and on the screen popped up an icon. He turns his attention to it and tapped on the keyboard. Popped up on the monitor now is a face that is shrouded in darkness.
"Dr. Greg Mueller," The figure said from the screen. The voice is talking in a smooth, calm voice. "It seems that the U.B.C.S has finally tracked you down, and is on the way for your eternal silence." The outbreak is none other than a perfect opportunity for the operation to go underway.
"I'm aware," He chuckles darkly as he lowers his head. He doesn't seem all that worried that his life is in danger. "That's alright, I think that this is a wonderful opportunity for my creation to spread its legs."
"Ah, how devious," The figure said coolly. "And I assume this is to buy more time to complete the data you're sending over?"
"Yes, it will be a matter of time, just be patient." Greg replied as he slowly stands. He continued as he makes his way towards a panel and press a few buttons. "What those fools will witness will be of my pure genius; A Tyrant of my own design. They saw the potential in the project, but their greed fail to see the beauty of being unique."
"Such bitterness, doctor. As I recall, they wanted to have your creation in the production line like all the others."
"Mass production?" The old man interrupted then gave a dark laugh that fills half the room. "How ridiculous. They fail to see the value of one's power...but they will know soon enough." He turns as he now set his eyes on an incubation chamber that is right beside the panel he is working on. "Besides, one masterpiece is enough."
Inside the chambers lies a monster that his master considers a creature of higher power. It stands about at least eight or nine feet tall, skin that is between black and pale, both of its hands are with sharp claws, an exposed heart on the right side of its chest, and the only piece of clothing it has are black briefs. The creature is currently asleep for now, but not for long as it seems.
"Humph, well then, I shouldn't keep you from your work," The shaded man simply said. "I'll be expecting the data you've promised, in exchange for your escape." Like that, the screen with the man was gone from the monitor, leaving Greg alone. Of course he'll do as he was told, for the moment anyway. With the final touches completed, it was time to wake the best to eliminate the threat that is coming his way.
The liquid from the chamber begin to slowly recede down, and when it did, the creature's heart beats into a steady rhythm.
"Now, it shall begin." Greg spoke as he watches his creation's eyes open with a satisfactory smile.
The Tyrant Thanatos has awakened.
Temporary Shelter
"Shit man…just…shit…" Jim complains as he bends to lean his head against the wall in grimace. He is tired and doesn't have the energy to complain or gives a hoot about anything anymore. He is stuck in a half empty shelter of tired survivors like himself, but there are so few including himself, Yoko, Alyssa, and David. They have manage to stay alive after the mishap with the train and lost the other members of the group and doesn't know if they made it.
Alyssa looks at the wall Jim is leaning on.
The wall is covered with pictures and letters, must have been from survivors who are looking for lost friends and family. It's a pretty sad sight; they are most likely dead, or something else might have happened. She lays her eyes on Jim now, still sulking while Yoko and David join her, coming back after talking with the few other human survivors that are trapped here.
"It's no use…no one around here have seen Kevin and the others…" She said with a sad tone. It's been days since they have been separated.
"Just great…"Alyssa whispers as she rubs her temple. Of all this time, only one of them has a suitable weapon and there is nothing in the shelter worth of value. Staying here is giving her a headache, she wants to leave, but she has no idea where to go. Plus, it's dangerous to wander around. "This is just perfect, I don't know how things…never mind." She doesn't want to finish the sentence as she thought that she might regret it later. Nothing but bad luck is around every corner ever since the outbreak started.
"Alyssa," Yoko slightly approached. "Don't give up; there might be a chance that they are still alive…" The young girl is trying to remain hopeful. Alyssa looks at the young girl.
"Well, what if they are not?" She asked the student. "Sorry for not being optimistic, but who knows if they're still around or roaming about as zombies." The reporter sounded pretty irritated and tired, she didn't mean if she sounded harsh to her, but it's been more than 24 hours since she have seen them and things are looking quite grim. Yoko darted her eyes on the ground, she wants to believe that they are still alive, but what if Alyssa is right? What if her hopes are thwarted to the realization that they didn't make it?
"B-but…" Yoko stuttered; her sad eyes are still plastered to the floor. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she turns to see that it's David. She gave a smile as she kind of felt better at the plumber's quiet reassurance; it's kind of what she needs.
Jim mumbles incoherently as he still sulks on the wall. The black man slightly lifts his head and saw a sheet of paper fell before him and ended up on the front of his shoes. He lazily picks it up and curiously look at it contents. As soon as he reads to himself, his jaw drops immediately at the address that it was made for. "Guys…" Jim slowly said, grabbing his partner's attention. "You should check this shit out."
The other three looks at him quizzically and walks over to see a surprised look on his face while holding the letter.
"Well? What is it?" Alyssa asked, trying to look at the paper.
'To George Hamilton.'
That is a name that they definitely know. They checked the contents of the writing as it follows:
'I have vital information regarding the current city crisis, which only you will understand. I will be waiting at Raccoon University, come find me as soon as possible. With regards, Peter Jenkins.'
They looked at each other as the letter ends there. A man who claims that he can help made out this letter to their George. If this man is telling the truth, then they have just found their next destination.
"Hey man, can you believe this?" Jim said, while trying to contain his intrigue. Alyssa rubs her chin.
"Yeah…seems that that the doc has some pretty interesting friends," she comments. "I think we should pay him a visit, I don't want to say in this dreary place forever." Everyone agreed that it was the best course of action. They'll have to take this chance to find some answers and possible escape from the city by visiting the man known as Peter Jenkins.
An hour later...
Raccoon University
George looks up at the front courtyard of the university before him. He has never been here as a matter of fact, well not on the inside anyway. He admires the architecture and the decorative style. However, he has no time to admire it any further, they are here to look for Peter. Kevin, Mark, and Cindy came beside him, briefly viewing what's before them before continuing to the front door.
When the four enters the foyer, it was clearly deserted. The inside looks grand with a giant staircase in front of them that leads to two separate ways. There are also a couple of door on the ground level as well, three to be exact. The building is pretty large and they have no idea one where to start looking first. Peter could be anywhere, and at the very least hopes that he is still alive.
George contemplates on where to first look, he doesn't know his way around at all. His attention to Kevin as he is concerned about his condition, sure he is able to halt the virus, but it won't be long before the virus continue to run it's course. The cop rubs his chin as he steps forward while looking at the staircase, then decides to make a suggestion. "How about we check upstairs first? Unless we're goanna have to check each door separately?"
Immediately Cindy shook her head in protest. "No…we have to stick together. We can't afford to split up." She doesn't like the idea that they are not together, she thinks that sticking together their only shoot at survival and if the separate, could mean complete disaster. "I mean…we could go to the second floor together…I'm just saying…"
Kevin looks at the waitress then shrugs; he doesn't mind whether to split up or staying close as long as they get this over with. "Fine…We'll go on the left side then." With that said, everyone aggress to it and starts to ascend. Half way, there is a empty desk, a handgun on top of the surface. George slowly picks it up, it has been awhile since he used one, but doesn't want to remain bare any longer. They walk up the second pair of steps, going to the only door.
2F Passage
A zombie in rags is standing still at the positions between the red and silver door. There is no particular reason that it's just standing there; maybe it's there because it's the spot where it was reborn. Maybe because of a little memory when it was alive, at any rate, it's kind of a bothersome nuisance. It's head jerks back after receiving a bullet to the head, it fell flat on it's stomach and lays forever still. Kevin walks up to his latest zombie victim and pokes at it's head with his black boot to double check. He can still shoot, even in his condition; he wants to feel useful to his friends somehow. The other three takes in the grisly sight, but it's one less thing to worry about. There are two options right in front of them: left or right. Cindy suggested to the group that they should check out the right door.
Meanwhile...
Raccoon University
"Ah shit, we made it here in one piece."
Jim bends over to give himself a small break as he is ahead of the pact after jogging himself to the entrance. No zombies in sight, thank God. He turn his head to see his partners are catching up, seeing the same thing.
"We're finally here…" Yoko said as she breathes easily. She kind of led them halfway to the school before Jim took charge. He was most eager to come to this place out of them all, just so that he could leave the streets into safety. Well, nothing is too safe in this now apocalyptic city. Meanwhile, instead of standing where they are, they open the door and enter the foyer.
When they entered, they found nothing or no one around here. It's nothing but a huge room of nothing; it's going to be tough to find the person they are looking for and has no idea where to start.
"So, any suggestions on where to look?" David simply asks, because he hasn't the slightest clue on where to go.
Jim looks around while Alyssa shrugs, and looks at the staircase. "If there is no objections, I think we should go up." The reporter said. No one disagreed with her as they head up to the only door on the second level of the stairs. As they reached half way up
2F Passage
As soon as they reached the corner of the passage, something caught their eye, a zombie lying on the ground with it's brains blown out. This is an indication that this could be the work of a person with a gun. There are two doors that are between the corpse and it's possible that a survivor is in one of the rooms. The group heard a gunshot coming from the left door. Gunshot means that there is a possibility of a survivor in need of help. They enter the left door to investigate.
Art Gallery
The right door contains a lavish art gallery inside. There are collections of paintings, decorative plates, and other fine pieces are either hanging on the wall or in glass cases. The only thing that stands out is a piano and a large statue of a woman that looks to be holding something. A blue jewel is in the statue's hand and its just out of reach, if this experience has taught them anything, then they should know that the gem is important.
Mark heard something crumpling under his feet to only to find a piece of paper. He picks it up and saw what's on it; it's a paper about Heterochromia or mixed eyes colors in animals and humans, but it mostly talks about a moose with red and blue eyes. The others took a look at it and George seems to think that it's some kind of clue. He looks up at the blue gem, he now knows that it is needed for something.
"Hm, I think we need to get that…" Said George say he is referring to the Blue Jewel.
"Sure looks like it," Mark replied, "But it's a long reach, the hell are we suppose to do to get it?"
That is surely a mystery, but there has to be a way.
Cindy turns to look at the lone piano and thought about her past for a bit. She remembers how to play the keys and know how to read notes. The notes for a song is displayed on the stand and wonders if she still had it in her. Kevin walks up beside her.
"Know how to play, Cin?" He asked, the wait shrugged as pressed on one of the keys for a minor D.
"Well, it's been a long while," He responded, sounding so unsure of her skills. The cop decides to give her some encouragement, curious about Cindy's talent in music.
"Well, why don't you give it a try? I never heard you play; in fact, I never knew you could play the piano." The waitress thought about it, she wonders if the owner would get mad.
"Are you sure? Is it really ok?"
"I'm pretty sure no one would mind. I need something to brighten my mood." Kevin grins to the smiling girl as she takes a deep breath and look at the notes. Her fingers did the work as she follows the melody on paper. It is a sad and depressing tune that she if following, but she is doing well. As soon as the song ended, she gave a light sigh and smiles at herself.
"There, I did it," She lightly cheered. "So how was it?" Kevin gave a light applause at the performance.
"That was pretty good," He admitted. "It's kind of a sad song though." Suddenly, the statue's hand begun to move downward, stopping at the appropriate reach for a person to reach. "See? Even our lady in stone seems to like your performance." Kevin wittily commented, made Cindy smiled even more.
The nearest person reaches for the gem and pulls it away from the stone woman's grip. It fills like plastic; of course it would be fake. Now all that's left is to find a moose, thanks to the file they found.
Drawing room
The first that entered the room is David as he readies his handgun only to find nothing in sight. He motions for the others to follow him in, eying the entire room. His attention turns to another door that could leads to somewhere. He quickly moves towards it and grabs the handle only to be stopped by Jim gripping his shoulder, shivering.
"A-are you sure we should go in there?" Jim asked, but there is no other choice in the matter. They all jumped once they heard something behind the door, a man's frantic shouting from the other side. It is a human alright, probably needing help so David quickly opens the door.
President's Office
"You left me with no choice…how could you dare infect me with that dreaded virus? How could you dare?" A man is yelling at a freshly killed zombie in front of him as he is lying in front of a desk. He face is contorted in pain and anger as he held his shoulder as it gushes with blood. He is a man in his late middle age, wearing a ruined brown suit that covers his rotund body. His own blood is running down the left side of his shoulder, staining his white shirt. The man slowly tries to rise on his feet and that's when the door began to open. "Damn it! Stay away from me!"
The man raised his gun and instantly fires at the door two times, almost hitting the plumber as he takes cover around the door's frame.
The injured man hands shook as he stops firing at the group of survivors. He still hasn't lowered his gun, trained on them as he tries to get on his feet. He succeeded and eyes them with a frighten look. "W-who are you people? Everyone here should have been dead!" Obviously, he seems hectic after being bitten; his left eye begins to twitch and use his bloody hand to scratch the edges of his wound.
David peers from the frame as he watch the man taking his time scratching, he breathes slowly as he was almost shot by this lunatic, but is willing to make peace with this man so that he wouldn't shoot at them again. Yoko shyly also takes a look at this man, but as she looks at the man, she looks surprised as she recognized him. She decides to communicate with him. "D-Dean Winslow?" Everyone looks at her instantly with a puzzled look.
The dean turns his head to the young woman that guessed his him correctly. The gun is lowered and dropped to the ground beside him. "You…are you a surviving student?" She nods her head slowly, which made him a little relieved. "Ah, thank goodness…at least one is alive…" He fell to his knees, as he feels weak.
The girl and the rest of the group rushed at his side, his condition doesn't look too good. "Forgive me…I-I didn't know what I was doing…I was so scared…" He apologies, as he look up to the survivors. " I must tell you, you will find no sanctuary in this place, you all have to leave…"
"We can't, we are actually looking for someone here," Alyssa said, Winslow looked at her quizzically.
"His name is Peter Jenkins," David said, getting right to business. "Have you seen him at all?"
The dean's face lit up at the mention of that name.
"Jenkins? Yes, I know him. I haven't seen that man in days. I assumed that I'm the only living human on campus." He takes a gulp of air as he continues. "I think I know where he might be though, the underground laboratories. He was talking about taking care of some unfinished business…" Everyone looks at him with a question: Why does the school have an underground lab? That sounds fishy, but there is no time for questioning this, he gave them a clue and they have to take it.
"Sir, we have to take care of that wound…"Yoko stated as she is worried about him. Even with her kind gustier, he refused lightly.
"Wait, this is important," Once again he picks himself with ease. "If you are going down there, then you should head into the entrance hall on the ground floor. There is a door leading to the passage elevator room. Be careful, I don't know what horrors lurk there…" He leans on the desk as he is trying to catch a break. He then reaches into his pocket as he pulls out a keycard. "Take this, this will activate the computer that controls the elevator once you get inside." He offers. David extends his hand to take the card.
But not before a bullet went straight through the Dean's head.
The sudden event caused the survivors to jump back from the corpse. David, Alyssa, and Jim backs away while Yoko hits her back into a wall in between two bookshelves. They look at the source where the bullet came from: the window and there was a red laser that turned off when the deed was done.
Outside
"Target 0011 has been neutralized, now all that's left is Dr. Mueller…" A man speaking in a deep Russian accent stood from his spot as he turns of his laser pointer. He had a victorious smirk as he puts down the rifles and hold a communication device.
"I'm ready for the next step, how long until arrival?" He asked, waiting for a response.
"We are almost at the designated point, standby until we get there, over."
"Copy that, I'll be waiting…" He puts away the device and sighs. "Huh, I guess I have no choice then…" he turns to leave his spot and thought for a while. "It'll only be a matter of time before I am able to find my next target." He walks away from his hiding spot, still wearing that smirk on his face.
President's Office
"Holy shit! What the hell was that?" Jim yelled in a panicky voice. A man took a bullet in front of him; the poor dean is now on the floor with is blood soaking up the rug under him. The rest of them shares his shock then look towards the window with the bullet hole in place. None of them saw it coming, this is clearly an assassination, but who is responsible for this?
"I don't know, but we should get the hell out of here!" Alyssa stated as she stayed where she did, not want to get near the window in case the assassin is still there.
Yoko is still near the wall as she looks at the body of her former principal. The poor man didn't deserve this, but before she could do anything, the wall behind her suddenly disappeared and she fell backwards. Her back landed on a hard new surface on the ground. Before she even had a chance to recover, the entrance quickly closed and now she is stuck in a new environment.
The others witnessed the entire the as Yoko disappeared behind the wall; they ran over to her spot, but unfortunately didn't make it as the entrance closed.
"Aw shit! Aw shit! Did you see that?" Jim said as he was being frantic again as he pats down the wall.
"Yoko! Hey Yoko! Can you here us?" Alyssa shouted in hopes that the girl on the other side could hear. They hold their breathe for her to say anything and hope for the best.
"Yeah…I can hear you…"Her voice is muffled, but it's still loud for them to hear. They are relieved, find finds themselves in a situation: how to get Yoko from behind the wall.
"Yoko, are you ok? Is there anything in there with you?" The young girl looks around and noticed that she is in a dimly lit passage.
"No, it's just a passage…" She responded looking at it. This is a secret that leads to somewhere, but she is afraid to explore on where it goes. Besides, she is going to wait here while she somehow gets herself out of here. The narrow passage makes her feel dizzy from the sight of it, she needs to stay focus on how to get out of here.
The three survivors on the other side tries to find a way to open the wall to get her out behind the trap door. No matter how hard they try to find the mechanism, they're getting nowhere and this is making them frustrated.
"Damn man! This is some Scooby-Doo bullshit!" Jim cries. "Why would this fool have a secret door, man?" That is good question, but they can't ask the dean himself because is in lying on the floor dead.
"Well, we don't have time for that question," David said, seemly irritated, there must be someway to open the trap door, what did the girl do to make it open in the first place? It could've opened by itself, or was it something else that could have done this. The tree survivors instantly turn around after hearing the door bust open, and to their surprise it's by someone they knew.
Earlier…
2F Passage
George opens the door as he exits the gallery along with his partners. The next objective is to find the moose to put the gem in. there must be some place where they overlooked, somewhere. The first thing his mind tells him is to go back to the foyer and check it out; it seems to be a better choice anyway. His tip of his foot accidentally hit the dead zombie's hand as he had forgotten that it was here, he backs away slightly then to the door in front of him and wonders if it's worth looking into. Well, the room across could have what they are looking for.
They group heard a loud sound coming from that room, they don't know what it was, but it could be a possible survivor. This needs to investigated just in case.
Drawing Room
The four looks around the empty room, although, they do hear voices, one that is particularly loud and strangely obnoxious. It couldn't be…could it? There is only one way to find.
President's office
Kevin swings the door open as he takes out his .45 and aims it at three standing figures by the wall. He lowers his guys as he saw whom they were, the people missing from their team. Everyone looks at each other in surprised expressions.
"Oh my god, you're alive!" Cindy cried as she looks to like she's about to cry.
"Of course we are, long time no see, sugar queen." Alyssa greeted. The four survivors looks at the two dead bodies on the ground and wonders what happened here. Something seems to be missing here as well.
"The hell happened in here? Looks like we missed something important…" Kevin stated as he looks at the two bodies on the ground then looks at the window with a bullet hole.
"Wait a minute…where Yoko? " Cindy asked as she noticed that they are one person short, fearing the worst.
"Uhh, she's here…kind of…"Jim half-wittily explained and he pointed to the wall, which made the four look at him quizzically.
"Hey, what's happening out there?" A muffled voiced called aloud. The four survivors couldn't believe whose voice it was that they just heard.
"Yoko is behind this wall." David simply puts it as he pats the wall.
"Whoa whoa…what?" Kevin asked dumbfounded. "The hell did that happen?" Jim step up as he decided to be the one to explain things.
"Crazy shit, that's what! We came in this room to find a zombie and the principal of the school there," he points to the body of the president as he continues. "We wanted to know about this guy, then he was sniped from the window! Then poor Yoko fell through a trap door like on Scooby-Doo and that's what happened." The story ended there and so many questions needs to be answered, but not now.
"Hey! I hear other voices out there! Who is that?" Yoko shouted from the other side. The cop approached the wall and gives a little knock.
"Don't freak out on us, but it's your old pal Kevin, and the rest."
"K-Kevin? No way…" She sounded like she was happy to see him; it's been a long time since that day when they were at the underground facility.
"Is she ok? Is she alright?" Cindy asked with concern.
"She's ok, don't worry." Alyssa assured the waitress, which gave her a sigh of relief.
George looks at Jim after hearing the story and noted one what he said about a certain point.
"Now what important man were you talking about?" The subway worker looked at the doctor and thought about it, then he frowned.
"Shit, forgot the name." That really didn't help at all.
"Ugh, it's Peter Jenkins. We found a note addressed to you, it said that he has vital information, so we came to check it out. " Alyssa informed George, and he completely understand.
"Well, this is coincidence, we're looking for the same man." George commented, lift the blue gem for everyone to see. "And this may be the key to help us find him." They look at the gem, the subway worker take it that it's connected with the moose head he saw earlier.
"Really? We've heard that he could be in the underground labs, we can get there by elevator," David adds, flashing the key card between his index and middle finger. "We could check it out and see if that's the case."
"Hold on, can we do that later?" Alyssa asked, arms crossed. "We should at least check out where that thing goes-"
"And I think I know where to put it," Jim interrupted, which earned him a glare from the reporter. So everyone agreed to take the blue gem to it's rightful place and see what secrets it will lead them. The problem is, they'll have to leave Yoko behind to get it done, on the plus side, and she is in a safe place for now. Kevin leans on the wall to talk to Yoko about what they're going to do.
"Hey Shorty, we're going to do something. Be a good girl and stay put until we get back kay?" Yoko rolls her eyes, it's not like she couldn't go anywhere anyway.
"Ok if you say so…" She responded, then sits on the ground as she decides to wait here. She wasn't going to leave this spot anyway. "Be back soon…" She quietly said to herself.
Entrance hall
"There it is, man," Jim pointed to the moose head with the ruby eye. George reaches up and places the gem in the right eye socket of the moose's eye. They waited for something to happen, something did as something behind them moved. The wall suddenly became a doorway. Jim approached the secret passage with amazement. "Man, what is with this school and secret doorways?" Kevin pats Jim's should as he takes point.
"That's a nifty secret, let's see where it goes."
Study Hall
The survivors travel down some stairs trying to find out where this path leads them. The trip was short as they made into a study room of some sort. Further ahead is where a desk is lying with paper scattered on the ground and a single chair with something on it. They walked closer to the desk and the chair. George approached the chair first, slowly; he walks up to find a body on the front of the desk. He takes a closer look at the face then backs up as his face is grimacing. "Oh no…" he turns his head away at the sight before him. "Oh Peter…"
The man on the desk dead seems to be the Peter Jenkins that everyone is looking for, confirmed by the doctor.
"Damn it, we're too late!" George hissed as he stares at the body of his long lost friends. It looks as though he died a violent death, a horrible way to go. Now that he is dead, what are they going to do now?
The other caught up with him to view the body, it all seems hopeless now. They are supposed to get this guy to help them, but now they came too late.
The doctor eyes something that is in the dead man's hands; it's a document. Out of curiosity, it took it from his friends grip and checks what it has to offer, from George's reaction, it seems pretty important. "Oh my god, I think I found it." This caught the attention.
"What did you find, doc?" Kevin asked as he tries to peer over the doctor's shoulder to read the document. George turns to him as he answered his question.
"I found what Peter's been working on, it's instructions on making the cure to the virus!" That is some good news they are hearing, the man was gracious enough to write down the cure for them to get.
"That great!" Cindy lit up. "What do we have to get to make it?" George peers down at the paper as he looks at what they need.
"We just need three components to make this work…V-poison, P-base, and T blood." He concluded, searching through the papers in his hands. "It also states where to find them, and we can start by going to the elevator."
A for the virus exist, but now the survivors would have to look for the stuff to make it. There is hope after all.
"Ok man, should we let Yoko know about this?" Jim asked, he didn't forget about the poor girl left behind. " I'll go on and see how she's doing…but can someone come alone with me? Preferably one with a weapon?"
"Meh, I'll go too," David volunteers, which earns a smile from the subway worker. "Here, you'll need this then to activate the computer to turn on the elevator. We'll see you there when we come back." He handed the keycard to George and nodded. David, followed by Jim left the rooml, leaving the rest of the survivors to do what they need to get the plan rolling. Before it is their turn to leave, George turns solemnly at his friend's corpse, Cindy gently touched his shoulder as she gave a sad, but assuring smile with him giving one back. But still, he couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
"Peter...I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner. But thanks to you, you may have saved our lives. Thank you...and goodbye."
President's Office
Jim and David enters the dean's office once again, the scene of death still lingers here. There is no way dean Winslow would revive into a zombie, as they recall, he was shot in the head. Jim tip toes over the bodies and head towards the wall. He calls out to the girl on the other side.
"Hey Yoko! We got some good new we gotta share!" He cheerful yelled as he waits for a response. It has been more than ten seconds and she didn't say a word, which is making him nervous. "Uh…girl? Are you there?" He called out again and waited.
"What's wrong?" David approached, as something is amiss.
"She isn't talking to me…Yoko, are you ok in there?" Now both of them are worried since she still hasn't said anything to their calls. "Oh shit…I hope nothing happened…w-what if…"He didn't finish his sentence as he didn't want to think about what might have happen to her while they were away. David didn't want to here it, but now that he thought about it, she did say that she was in a passage. The only logical thing he could think of that she is exploring the passage.
"Damn it, why didn't she stay put?" He growled, this is a troublesome situation.
Earlier...
Testing Passage B
"Be back soon." She quietly said to herself as she sits near the door and looks down the hallway. She sighs as she waits, having nothing to do while she is here but to stare at the end of the passage. It's a ladder that up to the platform above her that probably leads to somewhere that she doesn't know what. She never knew that the dean was so secretive, he used this to go somewhere when he needed to, a secret he doesn't want anyone to know. Now this perks up the girl's own curiosity at this secret, so she stands up as she prepared to see what it is. But she promised to say here until the others get back. This is conflicting problem, but she though if that she just quickly go and come back, everything will be fine, she takes this change started to walk to the ladder down the passage. "It'll just be a quick search, that all…nothing to worry about."
She climbs the ladder and now stands on the platform and looks around a bit, catching her eye on a door. She jiggles the handle to find that it's unlocked, and with her all her courage, she turns and pushed the door to enter. "N-nothing to worry about…I can do this," she quietly chanted.
Second Hall
Yoko has entered a large room, similar to one of her classroom, but instead of desks, there are computer equipment and a large desk with moniters. She moves forward to observe the room further, there is a giant projection that is reflecting at the ending of the room with black curtains and what attracted her attention is a big incubation tube that looks to have been recently used, but nothing is it in. This is a secret lab, used for experiments as it seems, and this made her have weird flashes of memories like before. Her brain begins to pulse, making her have a slight uncomfortable feeling about what was in there.
"Well well, if it isn't Yoko Suzuki," A voice speaks behind her, causing her to gasp in surprise and turns to see who calls her name. She has come face to face with a man seemingly in his early 40s smirking at her way. She thought that she would be alone here. Wait, how did this man know he name? "It has been two long years my dear…oh, but you probably don't know that."
This man is claiming that he knew her, but she doesn't know him. She takes a step back as he approached. "Wha…who are you?" She demanded timidly, as the man still has that smirk.
"Ah yes, how rude of me…allow me to refresh your memory," he adjusted his glasses as he prepares for the greeting. "I am Greg Mueller, former scientist of Umbrella's research division." The mentioning of Umbrella gave the girl shivers. "I must apologize if everything seem hectic…" Hectic isn't the word she would describe. The man moves behind his desk and works on his computer while she watches. "Come girl, there is something I need to show you." He motions for her to come to look at the computer monitor. She was hesitant at first, but she slowly walks to the computer screen to see the images of several different places of the university. "I have been monitoring you and you friends' progress from here…it seem that they've came across a little secret of mine…Daylight…"
"Daylight?" Yoko repeated. Greg looks at her as he continued.
"The only resource against the T-virus, it is a serum that I and Dr. Jenkins have been working on. As I stated before, I used to be part of Umbrella's cog in its machine. Even though I was handed the T-Virus project, that I put all of my heart and soul into it to create a work of art, I was treated as noting more than a pawn in their spiral of greed. " He moves to a chalkboard that displays the picture layout of the Thanatos. "Look at this! This is the fruit of my labors, two years of hard work has resulted into this."He gives a proud display, touching the picture gently. "Brute force should not be the only criteria of a weapon…it should also be beautiful, unique, and godlike…"
Yoko is frighten at the display, that this creature was created by this madman. The picture is here, but where is the monster? There is a giant tube that is empty, which made her blood run cold. "...Did you release this creature?" She asked, but her question is ignored.
"It is almost time for my creation to reveal its power." The scientist said as he walks back to the screen then grins at the girl. "We shall view it together, the dogs of Umbrella will be the first to fall from its might." He sounded excited as he tells her the situation, and she regrets for lurking on to this secret…what if the others where to face this monster?
Ugh finally! I'm done with the this chapter! This took forever to write done but I still made it. Ok I have decided that Yoko is going to stick with Muller while the others are looking for the Stuff for daylight and in the next chapter I'll be doing the V-poison because it's easier to get and I'll display the teams.
I hope to see you all next time, my dears! Tata! XOXOXOXO
