Chapter 11

Lydia and Seth still stood where Tim had left them. They exchanged shocked glances; they had remained in stunned silence after seeing Tim.

"I can't believe it." Lydia said finally. "How could he have changed so much? This isn't the Tim we know."

Seth shook his head sadly; the sight of what Tim had become deeply saddened him. Apart from Sappira he was the companion who was closest to Tim; the two regarded each other like brothers.

Finally he sighed. "You're right; this isn't like Tim at all. He lost so much, but for it to have changed them this badly…He, he didn't even realize, never guessed. He believed it all."

Lydia bit her lip, knowing all too well what Seth meant. "So he really does believe, without a shadow of a doubt that Sappira…That she, miscarried."

"I'm afraid that's what it looks like." Seth replied. "Even if we told him the truth, he'd never believe us, or if he did, it would just make things worse for him."

"But we can't just leave him like this." Lydia cried out.

Seth was about to reply when suddenly they heard a distinct clicking noise and immediately drew their weapons. It wasn't long before they saw the source of the noise, Plague Crawlers.

They soon discovered they were dealing with a whole swarm as they began to enter through ventilation shafts and through windows of adjoining rooms. They swiftly opened fire on the insectoid B.O.W.s. It didn't take long for them to realize a problem however.

"Shit." Seth growled. "These things are just gonna keep coming, we'll be surrounded at this rate."

Lydia agreed. "You're right; we have to get outta here. Quickly, let's blast open a path to that corridor Tim went down, we'll go that way and try and lose them in the corridors."

"Alright."

They changed their tactics and focused their fire on those blocking their path. Only killing any others who got too close for comfort. Finally they were able to open a path and immediately began to run down it, firing at any that got too close. Once in the corridor they continued to run, firing blindly over their shoulders at the Plague Crawlers. They could hear the clicking and the low guttural noises from their pursuers. The sounds became quieter as they continue to run, but they didn't dare look back to see if they were losing the Plague Crawlers, or killing them. One thing that was clear however was they were gradually getting away from danger. However they couldn't be sure if they were following the same route as Tim, they had hoped to run into him and at least convince him to listen to what they had to say.

Suddenly however, they heard the clicking but before they could react one of the Plague Crawlers appeared in front of them. They were forced to stop, another came up behind them, they had been cornered. They had no time to reload either which meant they were in trouble. Just then, gunshots rang out and one of the Plague Crawlers shrieked and writhed before collapsing in a heap. The second soon suffered the same fate as Lydia and Seth saw their rescuer; a familiar face.

"Jason!?" They both gasped; faced at last with proof that he was alive, much to their relief.

Jason smirked as they reloaded and he approached them. "Good to see you both too. So; it's not just Tim that's here then."

"Tim, you saw him?" Seth gasped.

Jason nodded, his eyes narrowing. "Yeah, I know what he's become so you don't have to explain."

Lydia sighed sadly. "There must be something we can do to help him."

Jason shook his head however.

"I'm afraid not; he lost too much too quickly, if all this had been spread out, it might not have affected him as heavily." Jason explained. "Being tortured by Umbrella, losing his arm; then being told that Sappira miscarried…It was just too much for him."

Seth and Lydia looked at each other carefully before Seth admitted. "Sappira didn't actually miscarry, but she had to say that she did…It was the only way to protect their child…Otherwise Umbrella would've come after them, further leverage they could use against him."

Jason nodded slowly as he took this information in.

Finally Jason sighed and spoke up.

"Well, if that's the case, there is a way to save Tim from himself, but Sappira has to be the one to do it." He said seriously. "Understand, she has to admit the truth; it might upset Tim, but it's for the best, it's the only way he'll recover his old self."

"Do you think he'd forgive her for lying to him?" Seth asked worriedly.

Jason nodded. "He'll be angry, but he'll understand why she did it. He'll forgive her, especially if he finally gets to finally meet his child."

That reassured the two of them, however their relaxation was short lived for at that moment a loud shriek broke out and two Anubis broke through the windows of a nearby lab.

"Quick, take them down, don't let them climb on anything!" Jason yelled as they readied their guns.

They immediately followed his advice and opened fire, trying desperately to keep them from moving, forcing them to keep recoiling from the bullets. In this manner they were able to kill one before it attacked. The other however shrieked in rage and lunged forwards, using its legs to pin Seth to the ground and pinned Lydia to the wall with its left front claw. It raised its other front claw, ready to attack. Jason however acted quickly, utilizing his virus powers, and rushed towards the Anubis and grabbed its claw. He then pulled it forcibly back, making it release his comrades before throwing it against the wall and unloading his shotguns into it, making sure it was dead.

Shaking his head he turned back to them.

"You two will have to be more careful, I can't help you any further." He told them; they were about to protest but he quickly explained. "My father's already left this base, I have to go to, I need to get after him."

They knew nothing they said would convince Jason to stay and they admitted his reasoning was sound. If anyone could stop Trevor from committing further atrocities, it was Jason.

"Be careful Jason." Lydia said at last.

Seth nodded also adding. "I really wish you would come back and join us, we need you."

Jason merely smiled and quickly left. Lydia and Seth readied themselves and prepared to continue onwards. Their journey onwards was hampered by a few more enhanced zombies and Crimsons Heads; but they managed to finally take them down. They soon found themselves in a four way split corridor.

"Now which way?" Seth wondered aloud.

Before Lydia could comment a loud crunching noise caught their attention and they turned. They soon found themselves face to face with the source of the noise and found themselves wishing that Jason had stayed. Crouching not too far from them, was G. It stood up, at its full eight foot height. Its muscle mass was now unbelievably huge and grotesque, its clothes had now been reduced to a pair of ruined black trousers, the face of the man who had become this monster was now located on the torso, a new, rudimentary skull replaced it and the decay had advanced so much that its flesh was now grey. The bone like spike on its right shoulder and the huge third eye were still present, newer features included another huge eye on the back of its right shoulder, directly behind the original weak point. Finally its right hand had developed even more, becoming more disproportionate and the five fingers had been replaced with large claws made out of bone.

They stepped back, guns aimed as G turned to face them, growling, clearly looking to fight.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
