(Sewers)
Ada watched as Leon struggled with the zombie he was fighting as another attacked Claire and a third headed for Sherry, she knew she should leave them to their fate and continue her mission but something inside her would not allow it and she did owe Leon her life from when he had taken a bullet for her. So she quickly got in front of Sherry and began firing at the attacking zombie quickly hitting it in the head twice and watched in satisfaction as he dropped dead letting out a last piteous moan.
She then turned and fired at the zombie who had now managed to push Leon against a wall and was trying to bite him, he was managing to hold it back with his shotgun. She watched as her bullets hit the zombie in the back and forced it to drop Leon who quickly rolled away so she aimed higher and put another slug into the thing's brain and was surprised as its whole head exploded from the impact coating the wall in blood. She spun to help Claire only to find the younger girl had managed to get the upper hand in her fight and was just finishing off the zombie that had attacked her.
"Is everyone ok?" Leon inquired as he stood
"Yeah I think so" Claire said looking more tired and weary than before whilst Sherry just smiled and hugged Ada in thanks for helping her
Ada was about to speak whilst ignoring the child hugging her legs when the wall at the end of the corridor was smashed apart and a hulking figure entered; they looked on as the Tyrant ripped apart two zombies which were in its way before advancing on them
"Oh sh*t, it's the Tyrant" Claire shouted as she quickly pulled her grenade launcher and began firing again pleased she had remembered to reload it before they had entered the sewers
Ada stared in dread at the Tyrant feeling fear and an urge to run but she remained where she was, she felt Leon come up beside her and risked a glance at him and noted he too looked afraid and she could feel Sherry hugging her harder obviously terrified as the huge monster got closer.
"Claire back off and change ammo" Leon finally shouted "We'll try and keep it back" he added before turning to Ada "Aim for the pipes" he whispered
Claire didn't hesitate and ran behind them before dropping her backpack and grabbing the explosive ammo she had stored in there, she was joined by Sherry who tried to help by holding the launcher, Ada and Leon began firing at the pipes as the thing continued to advance on them. Finally Ada managed to hit on of the pipes right in front of the Tyrant and watched in satisfaction as heated steam engulfed the Tyrant, which was short lived as the Tyrant stepped right through without any effect
"What the hell is this thing made off?" she asked knowing inside that the steam had been a slim hope of damaging it
Claire quickly rejoined them and began firing again and this time the grenades began to slow the thing down, a forth hit knocked the monster to its knees and her next shot hit it right in the head knocking it onto its back and they all were relieved to see it did not get back up.
"Move and move quickly before this thing gets back up again" Leon shouted turning and running down the corridor
He was joined quickly by the others and they just hoped they would manage to keep out of this things reach, they turned another corner to find themselves no longer in the sewers but what looked like a large shed. Looking around they noted outside the shed was a large cable car which seemed to go down
"Alex" Leon said into his radio hoping they were still in range
"Go ahead Leon what's up?" Xander's voice came back weaker than before but he could still hear him
"We've come to what looks like a cable car which goes down, I was wondering if that map you found points this to be the right direction to go to reach the train out of here?" he responded
"Hold on Jill is checking the map" Xander replied "How you guys doing?" he asked
"Had another run in with the Tyrant which is chasing us and just managed to escape and before that we almost got eaten by a large bloody crocodile" he informed them
"Damn that sounds bad man" Xander said "We ran into a vampire who actually knows me from my home town and let me say this is not a good thing" he added "And Jill says the cable car is the way to the train, she says once you take it down you'll find another bunch of labs and somewhere in there is the escape train" he informed them
"Good because all of us want out of here" Leon shot back "Most likely once we go down there we will loose communications so I'll wish you good luck and see you soon" he continued before signing off
"Yeah same here man, watch your backs" Xander replied before the radio went quite
"So we take that thing down and then find the escape train" Claire said "Sounds simple" she said sarcastically before heading to the car
(Umbrella Headquarters, Europe)
Trent watched as the board convened to discuss what had happened so far, he was wondering how Jill Valentine was doing inside the city and if she had found his supply packages. He hoped so as he wanted her to survive very much, he knew her S.T.A.R.S. comrades were back in the states already and heading for their base before flying to Racoon to pull her out.
Finally the head of the board arrived looking annoyed about something which if Trent was honest with himself was no surprise as since Spencer had pulled away from running his company he had been annoyed nearly every day.
"The government know something has happened in Racoon City and have begun to close the city off" the white haired man spat finally voicing what was bothering him "I've managed to make it out there has been a reactor leak in one of our power plants and I've told them about our rescue efforts however that will not last long as I think they know something else is going on" he continued "If this turns out to be true I will recommend launching a missile at Racoon and wiping out all trace of the virus and what happened and it will have the added bonus and killing any survivors especially Jill Valentine" he explained
"We've had small contacts with the supervisors sir and some of the data they have managed to report has been positive however as of three hours ago all contact was lost" Hendricks reported leaning forwards "One was cut off in mid contact and whilst I can't say for sure he was found by a zombie of one of the other monsters it is a fare bet to say that is what killed him" he added
"It is also possible" Trent interrupted deciding to spread some descent to delay what the board head had proposed "That the supervisors are killing each other to ensure they have the most data to sell to us" he stated "You must remember not all of the members of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service team are soldiers we have recruited but mercenaries and former crinimals so money is in their blood and they could see this as a big chance to make a lot of money and get out from our command" he reminded them steepling his fingers "I suggest we do what we can to reastablish contact with any members still alive and if any are alive we send in an evac chopper to pull them out and find out what they know" he continued
"Do you honestly think any of the grunts survived Trent?" another board member asked with a dismissive snort
"Yes I do" Trent replied in dark tone "You seem to forget just what people are capable off when pushed to the very edge of survival or have the lessons of the Racoon S.T.A.R.S survival been lost on you?" he asked with a smirk "None of us expected any of them to survive and yet five of them did so and maybe Wesker as well" he continued making his point enjoying how annoyed most of the board now looked
"You make some good points Trent" the white haired man finally spoke "We'll play it your way for now but I cannot let this go on much longer before we have to act to cover up what truly happned in Racoon City" he stressed this fact "Has there been any contact with Hunk?" he asked
"Not as yet sir" Hendricks responded "However considering this is Hunk we are talking about it is not a surprise so I have hope he will turn up in time sir" he added trying to sound confident
"He better and he better have that sample of the G Virus as well or all this is a waste of time" the white haired man spat before storming out of the meeting room
(Highway)
Chris watched the passing cars with little interest whilst he envied Barry and Rebecca who had fallen alseep again, he guessed the stress of the situation combined with jet leg was catching up to them and they needed the break. He however was too high strung to fall asleep, his mind was fixed on what was truly going on and he knew he would not be able to get any real sleep until Jill was safe and Racoon City was left as far behind them as they could get.
"How long to the base?" he asked David without turning to face the man
"Another hour" was the response "Maybe you should try and sleep as well Chris or you are not going to be much help to Jill if you can't keep you eyes open during the mission" David suggested lightly
"I know you are right David but something won't let me sleep not until she is safe" Chris replied
"I know just how you feel man believe me" David said giving the other man a quick look "I'd feel the same way about any of my team mates and friends and we will get her out of there safe I promise" he added before pushing the car a little harder
Chris was thankful to David for trying to lift his spirits and not pushing him to sleep but still it did nothing to ease the tension and mixed feelings he felt at the moment
(Church)
Xander groaned as he picked himself up from where he had been thrown by the Nemesis Tyrant which had managed to find them yet again, Carlos was off to the side trying to connect wires to a flood light hopeing to blind the creature so they could push it over the edge of the church whilst Jill continued to dodge and fire at it.
They had reached the upper levels of the church easily enough taking out more zombies and a couple of large mutated spiders which he was sure would give him nightmares for months after this if he managed to survive this nightmare, Then after getting outside to the tower the Tyrant had shown up bursting through the floor of the roof and come straight for them flinging him out of the way of Jill who was it's main target and straight into a wall which was why his head was ringing and he was quite dizzy.
Carlos had been about to engage the monster when he had noted the floor lights around the roof area and decided to use them to their advantage he guessed and started to work on one of them which was not on at the moment due to a broken wire, Jill was keeping the Tyrant busy until he could turn it on. He shook his head and slowly pushed himself back to his feet wishing he could curl up and go to sleep before unloading his shotgun into the Tyrant's back, he got nothing but a roar of anger from the thing as it continued to focus on Jill for some reason
"Almost there" Carlos shouted
"Come on Carlos" Jill shot back as she just barely dodged the things massive hand "I can't keep this up much longer" she added
Xander shook his head before getting ready to charge the monster anyway when suddenly the flood light suddenly lit up catching the Tyrant right in the eyes, they watched as it began to swaying back and forth and roaring in pain. As one they charged the monster and somehow managed to knock it right over the edge of the roof, they watched it dissapear into the darkness below
"Why won't this f*cker die?" Carlos asked glaring into the darkness where the Tyrant had vanished
"More to the point why is it so focused on Jill?" Xander responded
"Brad said it was after S.T.A.R.S" Jill answered as she remembred what he former collegue had said before his horrible death at the hands of the monster "I'm guessing Umbrella somehow programmed this particular Tyrant to terminate the surviving members of S.T.A.R.S from the mansion which in the current situation is just me" she speculated
"Which means until we manage to get out of here this thing will keep coming after us unless we find a way of killing it for good and for that you said we'd need a rocket launcher or something along those lines" Xander conitnued her train of thought "Anything in that map that might help us locate something like that?" he asked
"Not that I noticed Alex" Jill answered "Plus we still have your friend to deal with as well" she added refering to the vampire from Sunnydale
"I'll deal with him when he comes out of hiding" Xander promised "For now I suggest we continue searching this place for a way out" he added heading for the door back into the church followed by the others
(Underground Cable Car)
Leon looked at the car feeling a sense of dread fill him for reasons he did not understand just yet, he noted the key to the thing was missing and so Claire and Ada were looking for it whilst Sherry stayed with him. He was beginning to get more jumpy the longer they stayed here that the Tyrant following them will quickly relocate them and soon they would run out of ammo for the grenade launcher and then they would find it harder to put the thing down
"Are we going to make it Leon?" Sherry asked speaking for the first time in hours
He knelt in front of the young girl and tried to give her a reasurring smile "We will make it Sherry" he told her "I promise you we will get out of this city" he added more confidently
"What will happen to me then?" she asked him looking lonely and afraid
"I can't say for sure Sherry but me and Claire won't let anything happen to you ok?" he replied "I am sure once we are out of here we can all sit down and discuss it and make plans" he continued wondering if he was saying the right thing before noting Claire had returned and was smiling at him and then nodded her head head in agreement
"We won't leave you behind Sherry" she finally spoke gaining the young girls attention "Me, you and Leon will stick together no matter what" she added moving closer to them giving Leon a small kiss which he quickly returned whilst Sherry smiled feeling better and hugged both their legs
Ada returned a few minutes later looking relieved and they noted she had the missing key to the cable car in her hand, they quickly placed it in the control planel and got onto the car and began to passage downwards, Ada was on one side of the car sitting down on a bench whilst Leon was up front and Claire and Sherry were in the back.
The whole car suddenly lurched before coming to a dead stop knocking Leon and Claire to the ground, a second later a hurge claw burst through the steal wall of the car wounding Ada and sending her to the floor as well before dissapearing
