Pairings: Xander/Jill, Claire/Leon

Summary: AU/ Set just after the end of season three Xander goes on his road trip after Buffy and co break their friendships with him and tell him not to come back, he ends up in Racoon City just before the T-Virus leaks out. He must survive the virus outbreak along with the few other survivors as well as help them survive the vampires and demons that come out to take advantage of the situation.

(Church)

Karn watched from the shadows as Alexander and his friends took down more of the zombies inside the church, he was enjoying stalking them as they were attacked quite often and watching them fight to survive kept him entertained until he was ready to begin his plan.

He would have to be quick in grabbing the woman as they stayed very close to each other but he believed he could do it as not even Alexander could match a vampire's true speed, he was interested in the huge monster he had watched attack them on the roof and wonder where it had come from. Infact he was very interested to know what the source of this city's demise was and if he could get his hands on it and use it to bring down other city's and maybe Sunnydale itself.

The idea of using whatever caused this to wipe out the slayer and her friends so he could do what the Master, Angelus and many others had failed to do open the hellmouth. The idea was inspired and maybe by using the source of this disaster he could inflict a double victory over the slayer and her gang by turning them into mindless zombies, he almost laughed at the idea thus giving himself away before continueing to follow them deeper into the church.

Xander ducked the swing of the Hunter and lashed out with his boot and watched in satisfaction as the thing was flung into a sharp spike from a destoryed grid which ran around a fireplace, it ripped right through the things chest and killed it. He watched the blood run onto the floor before tensing as he got a feeling they were been watched and he had a very good idea who it was, he signaled with his eyes for Jill to move ahead of him followed by Carlos whilst he looked back the way they had come and up into the rafters

"Whatever it is you are planning vampire I will ensure it fails" he stated before following the others

Karn just smirked and shook his head at Alexander's determination, he knew the young man hated vampire with a passion thanks to Angelus and he was going to use that to win but making the boy so angry he would not be thinking straight. He lept to another beam and continued to stalk them waiting for his chance to strike

(Underground Cable Car)

Leon shook his head as he finally came round and wondered what the hell had just happened before it quickly came back to him and he climbed back to his feel and shakily made his way to Claire and Sherry who were still on the ground and slowly coming round before looking and noting Ada was also on the ground uncouncious and had a large wound on her arm which resembled three claw marks

"Leon" Claire said as she finally regained her wits "What happened?" she asked as she got to her knee's and helped Sherry stand

"I don't know but the car has come to a complete halt and Ada is down and wounded" Leon replied

He grabbed Claire's bag and found the grenade laucher and loaded it with the explosive rounds whilst pocketing some of the acid rounds as well, Claire made her way over to Ada and then asked Sherry to bring her the med kit. Leon stood and looked around before his gaze fell on a leather strap hanging from a rail and grabbed it and used it make a holder for the grenade launcher before grabbing his shotgun and reloading that as well finally grabbing Claire's attention as she finished bandaging Ada's wounds and put the kit away.

"Leon, what are you doing?" she asked suddenly very nervous

"Whatever did that to Ada is clearly out there Claire and it must be stopping the car from contining on down somehow" Leon answered looking her in the eye as he finished his reloading "I'm going out there to kill it" he stated

"Not alone your not" Claire said instantly on her feet and moving to her own weapons and bgean to reload them "No arguments Leon" she snapped as Leon made his way over to her before pausing at her tone and giving her a nod "Sherry stay with Ada and keep her from moving okay we'll be back soon" she said turning to the young girl who whilst looking unsure nodded in agreement

"Be careful" Sherry said as the two made their way to the door causing them to both stop and turn to give her a small smile before they exited the car

They jumped onto the platform and began to look around wondering if the Tyrant had caught up with them again, they moved side by side and began to circle the car when suddenly a large roar echoed around the tunnel and something landed behind them. Slowly they turned and came face to face with another nightmare, a huge creature even bigger and more horrible than the Tyrant.

It was huge and had hulking arms one of which had a huge eye where it's shoulder should have been and on the other arm were three huge claws, it stared at them for a few seconds before letting out another roar and began to advance of them

"Oh sh*t" Leon said in disbelief whilst Claire said a silent prayer

(Arizona)

Chris was pleased to see the base finally come into view as they pulled into a small road covered by trees, he turned and woke Barry and Rebecca who slowly came round and took in their surroundings before smiling in relief they had finally around

"Ok we gear up and take off as soon as possible as we don't have much time left before government or Umbrella decides to do something permanent about the situation" he said to them all "Time is not on our side" he added with a frown

"Did you pack a full medical kit David?" Rebecca asked as the jeep pulled up to the base and came to a stop

"Of course we did Rebecca" David replied giving her a quick smile before all of them got out and headed inside

John met them in the hanger and nodded to each in turn before they all headed to the locker room to get ready for the mission, once they had finished getting ready they headed to the chopper and got in and began to arms themselves before John got into the pilot's seat and began to bring the chopper to life

"Flight time?" Barry inquired

"Two and a half hours maybe" John replied "We are close to Racoon but I don't want to push the chopper too hard just in case we damage it and end up in even more trouble" he explained

"Understood, do the best you can John" Chris said as he and the others strapped themselves in as the chopper began to rise

As they cleared the hanger and began to gain altitude Chris's mind jumped back to the chopper ride to the Spencer mansion and he felt a shiver go up his spine before he suppressed it and focused on the mission at hand and not the past.

(Umbrella Headquarters, Europe)

Trent watched from the back of the room alongside Hendricks and the board head as the technicians and radio crew tried to re-establish contact not only with the supervisors but Hunk as well, he was not too worried about Hunk as he had a reputation of vanishing during mission only to come out the only survivor of the team thus earning himself the nickname Mr Death.

The lack of contact with the supervisors was also not a concern but the reason for it was, if he was somehow correct and they had begun killing each other so they could be in a better bargaining position then it raised a dangerous situation especially if they decided to sell the information to other companies which in the end would mean more virus's and more disaster and death but on a much wider scale as the companies created more deadly bio-hazards.

This was something he could not allow to happen and he would do anything to stop that situation becoming reality maybe even the sacrifice of the S.T.A.R.S was worth it although they were not yet at that choice but time was running out.

"Sir I am getting some small radio chatter but I am having trouble locking onto it" one of the radio men reported "There is a lot of interference" he added as he continued to work

"Then clear it up and get me contact" the board head snarled loosing his control for a few seconds before quickly regaining it "Hendricks I want you to monitor what the government is up too and report to me immediately if they attempt to send a team in of their own" he ordered without turning to the man

"Yes sir I understand" Hendricks replied before leaving the communications room but not before giving a glare at Trent which went ignored

"We are running out of time" the board head said turning to Trent

"Yes sir we are but I think things are about to change especially if we can regain contact with our people" Trent replied smoothly "We just have to wait it out" he added whilst inside he hoped this all ended before anything worse could happen and he hoped by the time it did end Jill and any other survivors made it out

(Church)

Xander struggled with the vampire that had come out of know where and whilst it was not the vampire from Sunnydale it was still just as dangerous as were all vampires in his opinion, Jill and Carlos were behind him fighting off a group of zombies which were closing in on them.

He finally got tired of the struggle and lashed out with a head butt causing the vampire to let go and him and stumble back, he had caught it by surprise and quickly rushed it unwilling to give it a chance to regain its footing. They both tumbled to the floor and began to exchange blows as hard as they could until he was knocked off and quickly rolled back to his feet only to be knocked down again as the vampire charged him this time and sent them into a wall, he tried to ignore the pain in his shoulder where he had hit the wall and struggled to flip the vampire off him.

Jill risked a quick look back to see how Alex was doing and saw them crash into the wall with the vampire on top, she growled and changed targets firing a blast into the vampires unprotected back and watched in satisfaction as the vampire was flung off Alex allowing him to get back to his feet before she turned back to the zombies.

She noted Carlos had downed another two whilst she was distracted and quickly took aim and blew the head off another trying to ignore the blood and gore as it fell, she had seen way too much of that in her life she thought since the mansion incident. She turned to the next target and fired again removing another's head before her gun ran empty causing her to reload whilst Carlos continued to fire his assault rifle.

"Almost out" Carlos shouted "And then I'm out of ammo for this" he added

"Just keep firing Carlos there are other weapons in the backpack you can use" Jill shot back taking down another zombie almost freezing as she heard Alex cry out in pain but forced herself to continue to fire

Xander fell back holding his side and cursing a vampire's increased speed, the wound was not bad but it would slow him down and weaken him

"What's the matter blood bag feeling a little under the weather?" the vampire said with a smirk as it stalked him

"I've fought master vampires d*ck head you are not going to bring me down" Xander shot back and he pulled a stake out of his belt and prepared for the last charge

"Brave words blood bag" the vampire responded not believing the human for a moment "But" he started before he began coughing up blood and a fist erupted through his chest before he dusted revealing the vampire from Sunnydale

"No one kills you but me Alexander" Karn said with a smile "It would be a shame for you to die before we get a chance to fight" he added with a shake of his head "And that time will come soon enough and to show I am a sporting person my name is Karn Alexander remember it well" he continued before vanishing as Jill and Carlos turned to fire on him as they saw what was happening after they finished off the zombies

Xander groaned and fell to his knees as Jill and Carlos rushed to his side and began to patch up his side, he was really beginning to dislike this Karn if that was his name. He gave Jill a small smile as she gave him a worried look

"Why did it kill one of its own kind?" Carlos inquired with a confused look

"It wants to kill me itself that or turn me which is my worst nightmare" Xander responded as he slowly got back to his feet aided by Jill "It has a plan and considering it is keeping track of us I am certain it plans to capture Jill to lure me to where ether it wants our fight to happen" he explained

Jill shivered at this and wondered what the vampire would of it succeeded in its plans before shaking off such thoughts and pulling Alex into a deep kiss which calmed her nerves, Carlos shook his head in amusement and began looking for a new weapon in the backpack

(Underground Cable Car)

Leon pulled himself to his feet feeling groggy and unsure on his feet, the fight against what ever that thing was had not gone well and he had quickly been flung into the metal railings of the tunnel knocking him out cold leaving Claire to face off against it on her own.

He could feel blood running down the side of his head and felt even more unsteady before he focused on the task at hand he look around and spotted the grenade launcher where he had dropped it when the strap had broke from one of the monsters swipes, he ran over and grabbed it and looked around and soon noted Claire dive into his line of vision with the monster hot on her heals. He took aim as she ran straight to him once she noted he was up and dived behind him and quickly opened up as did Claire from behind him once she was back on her feet.

The monster easily shrugged off most of their fire until one of explosive rounds hit the large eye ball causing it to step backwards and roar in what they guessed was pain, Leon had to quickly reload with the acid rounds and then focused all his shots on the eye watching as it forced the monster backwards before it jumped clear of the platform and vanished from site back up the way they had come

"Thank god" Claire said as she felt the platform begin to work again and continued to head down "First the Tyrant and now that what did we do to deserve this?" she asked sarcastically

Leon just shook his head and pulled her into a kiss which silenced any more completes from her just glad to still be alive, when he let go of her she just gave him a small smile before she helped him back to the car intending to close the head wound and let him recover and see how Sherry and Ada were
