Sonic Evil 3

Chapter 14 – Day in the Park

Back in the familiar confines of the chapel, Silver looked to the front where Amy lay on top of the alter, he prayed that he was in time to save her, if the antidote failed there would nothing else he could do to save her, she would be lost to him. Running to the front he knelt down beside her and placed his gun on the floor, taking the vial that contained the T-Virus vaccine, he gently placed his hand on the back of her head and turned her to face him. With careful precision he administered the vaccine, pouring the purple liquid into her mouth, for those few minutes he waited in anticipation, all the while his heart pounded fiercely in his chest. Before long his prayers were answered when he heard Amy begin to stir, mumbling a few incoherent words before those all too familiar jade green eyes greeted him, making him smile with contentment.

"Silver!" whispered Amy

"Hey there, are you ok Amy?" inquired Silver

"Yeah, I am now thanks to you… how about you? Are you ok" responded Amy

"Yeah I'm fine, I just barely made it back alive though" answered Silver

"Why what's going on?" asked Amy

"I just about got away from that monster… it just doesn't give up" replied Silver

"WHAT! I thought we'd killed that thing" gasped Amy

"No, he seems to be waiting for you" said Silver

"Then he's playing with us… Silver do you think it's unstoppable?" questioned Amy

Having had the unfortunate misfortune to come face to face with Nemesis for the second time and live, Silver was unsure how to answer Amy's question but he had to believe there was a way to Kill Nemesis for good.

"No, I don't think so, it must have some sort of weakness, oh by the way I have some bad news that you're not going to like" mentioned Silver

"I can't wait to her this" said Amy

"Abraham's still alive" replied Silver

"What! But I thought he was dead, I was there when those Zombies attacked" responded Amy

"I don't think that guy knows the meaning of the word 'Dead'" stated Silver

"What is it he's after?" asked Amy

"I don't know but what I do know is that he's our enemy… be careful and don't trust him" answered Silver

Now that he was certain that Amy would survive he left the chapel in order to finish his own objectives, she knew that he was capable of taking care of himself after all he went to all lengths in order to get the vaccine that saved her life. However there was little time for rest as there was still a long way to go before they could escape the nightmare of Raccoon City, before leaving the quaint chapel she checked her inventory, making sure not to forget anything as she wouldn't be coming back anytime. She knew who was waiting for her just outside the door, surely the fight from earlier must have weakened him in some way, but she was doubtful as Nemesis seemed relentless and came back fighting fit again and again.

Just as she was about to open the door to the dining area, the door splintered into pieces followed by a rather irritated Nemesis, how many more times could she run away and live to fight another day with this monster, it was now or never. Taking up her Grenade Launcher she fired a couple of rounds and got a hit every time, after dodging his swipes and punches she'd got him to fall on one knee and with one more round he eventually fell to the ground. Although he was down she knew that he'd just get back up and continue to peruse her, following the same path as Silver, Amy made her way outside and stood in front of the dilapidated rubble of the Hospital. The rain continued to fall but the heavy downpour had eased off, using her lock picking skills she entered the small office and found the key to the park gates, taking the key she headed back into the rain and towards the park.

With the gate lock open the heavy metal gates swung open with a groan, luckily for her there didn't seem to be any of the infected hanging around, following the path she descended a set of stairs that led to a wooden walkway over a large pool that displayed statues. There was something about this place that seemed slightly off to her but none the less she walked along the boardwalk, it was then that she heard the water splash behind her, turning she came face to face with the Hunter Y. Her quick reflexes kicked in and escaped being its next meal and quickly took it down which was followed by another encounter, a forested path led the way but the path was patrolled by wandering Cerberus's. The all too familiar enemies were dispatched in no time, at the end of the path lay the body of an Umbrella soldier, in his hand he held a key, but where could she use it, in front of her was a chained gate however the key didn't fit and that meant she'd have to find one that would fit. There was another path back at the centre of the park that she could take and after fiddling around with the fountain control panel, a hatch opened that led to the lower depths of the park.

Trudging through the underground waterway she climbed the ladder into a small graveyard, all seemed quick but it was too good to be true as all of a sudden the very ground began to churn. Several zombies clawed and crawled their way out of the graveyard ground but before they could fully escape the ground, Amy ran over to the small cabin to the side and used the found key to open the door and escape the rising dead. The cabin was filled with several maintenance tools, a large fireplace lay off to the side and filled with wooden logs, the place was dimly lit and a steady stream of light could be seen coming from with the fireplace.

"I wonder what's behind there?" wondered Amy

Trying to lift the fire logs was a slight challenge as they were heavy, it was then she remembered her Lighter, before long the wood had burned enough that she could push it out of the way. Taking an iron pipe she placed it into the open space, the bricked wall began to crumble before it collapsed, throwing the pip to the side she crawled into the small space behind the fire place. A hidden operations room had been hidden, several documents and maps lay scattered on the table and posted on the walls, there was very little in there that could help however she did find a key that was labelled 'Rear Gate Key'. This is the key she was looking for and now she could open the chained gate that blocked her path, before crawling back through the fireplace the large communications device came to life.

"All Supervisors, mission terminated… return immediately!… repeat, all supervisors return immediately!… over"

Ignoring the transmission from the communication device as it had nothing to do with her, Amy carful crawled back into the cabin space and that when she was caught off guard by someone she really didn't want to run into.
