The Biohazard is coming to a close

Applejack was in quite some pain, she was laying down and looked uncomfortable, upon opening her eyes she saw that she was in an Emergency Room, several bandages wrapped around her.

"Aw damn, what in tarnation happened? Last thing ah remember, we were in a big battle against that Wesker jerk"

"We were", Applejack turned to see that Bruce was laying in a bed next to hers, himself being all bandaged up, "Big time battle, nearly killed us, what he did to you...ah thought you weren't gonna make it", he looked to Applejack, "Thank God you're alright though, if something happened to you, I'd probably lose mah mind"

Applejack looked so happy and spoke, "Same here, glad yer ok too...what about the others?"

"Not sure...ah lost consciousness too shortly afterwards, ah do remember Helena coming in and telling me that the others were in critical condition themselves and were being treated, hope they all pull through"

Applejack looked up at the room lights, "Ah hope they do, feels like mah life flashed before mah eyes though, ah thought he was gonna kill me, that gunshot bullet hurt"

Bruce nodded, "You are you lucky to be alive right now, a lesser person, or pony would be dead", he laid back, ""Yer gonna have one hell of a story to tell yer family when you get back home"

Applejack sighed, "If ah do get back home, ah just don't see a way from this world"

"Gotta have faith Baby Girl, we'll get their soon", Bruce reassured. Applejack nodded and laid back on the bed, still worried for her world, how would she get back home?

Bruce laid back, he too wondering how he can help Applejack, he pitied her so much. But there's nothing he could do, for now they both just needed to rest.

A week passed by, most of the group have healed up a bit from their fight with Wesker. They all felt very fortunate to be alive, each member of the BSAA miraculously surviving their assault from Wesker.

They had gone back to their temporary shelter, the actual HQ still being patched up from Wesker's assault there, though with Wesker defeated, there wasn't too much to worry about for now. Applejack laid in a bed in her room, wondering how her friends were doing, her family, everypony in Equesria, what Sombra was up to, it really weighed on her mind.

Just then she heard the door knock, "Come on in". Rebecca entered the room with a cheerful smile, "Hi Applejack, how are you feeling?"

"Better, ribs still hurt though, no gonna be doing any field stuff for a while, though with Wesker gone, that probably won't be needed right now".

Rebecca nodded, "It was a great victory for all of us, but what about you? You need to get home too".

Applejack sighed, "Ah know, but there ain't no way fer me to". Rebecca could tell that Applejack looked a bit depressed, so she approached her and hugged her, hoping to make Applejack feel a bit better.

"Thanks Rebecca, yer a good friend, you always are".

Rebecca looked to Applejack and smiled as she stared into her eyes, "No trouble...". Rebecca continued to stare and leaned in for a kiss, one which Applejack returned, such strange feelings but none of them fought it, until they heard a throat clear.

"Ahem".

They looked to the door and saw Bruce, Leon & Claire. Bruce approached Rebecca, "What the hell are you doing? You ain't suppose to be doing that".

Rebecca looked a bit awkward, she just got caught kissing Applejack, what's worse is that she could see the shame in Leon & Claire's eyes, they too told her that was improper, now they know she's been doing it again.

"Bruce, I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself", Rebecca pleased. Bruce wasn't having it, "Rebecca, that ain't no excuse, you should know better, what you did was...very foolish to say the least".

Rebecca's demeanor lowered, "Bruce, I have needs too, and I just felt-".

"Rebecca", Bruce interrupted, "You can't do that stuff, now ah ain't got an issue with gay relationships and ah don't even care that Applejack's a pony and you're a human, personally I forget sometimes myself, but the fact is that you're the medic of the group, you can't have an emotional attachment to a patient, that's illegal".

"I'm just a medic though, not a doctor, I think the line draws there", Rebecca argued. Leon stepped forward, "Bruce is right Rebecca, as the medic you can't be romantically involved with a patient, what you're doing right now it really foolish, until this team disbands and your medical services are no longer required, you can't be involved with Applejack".

Rebecca sighed sadly, "Fine...I'll just go"

Rebecca walked off with a look of defeat. Bruce rubbed his head, "What in God's name was she thinking?"

"Probably wasn't thinking at all", Leon said.

Applejack didn't look to happy, "What was that about? So she kissed me, why is it a big deal?"

"It's against proper protocol for someone in the medical field to fall for a patients, kinda sakes but it's life", Leon said.

That answer didn't really do much to alleviate Applejack's attitude, but at this point, she'll take that answer for now.

Leon and Claire felt some pity for Rebecca, but she should know better than to do something like that, besides Applejack needs to be taken home soon, something like this may only complicate such matters. Though truth be told, they didn't want Applejack to go home, they loved her company, everyone did, so the complication is there regardless.

Bruce wasn't gonna tell Chris what he saw figuring that it wouldn't be fair to Rebecca, he was gonna let it go, but next time he probably won't be that lenient.

Rebecca herself felt a bit foolish about this, not to mention she doesn't understand why she's doing it, but regardless she knows that she wants, and she's certain she wants Applejack, but for now, it seems to be a pipedream...but that's only for now.

Elsewhere, a man is seen walking into a lab, walking past cages containing various monsters and B.O.W.s. He approached some files and lookd through them, feeling a bit interested, "So, these are the plans that were left behind, perhaps I can make good use of this", he grabbed his radio, "Agent HUNK, it is Nicholai Ginovaef, I have some assignments for you".

"Roger that Nicholai", HUNK said through the radio as Nicholai had an evil smile on his face.

Later in the week on they're all gathered around, despite Wesker being defeated, there were still a few places that had some signs of infection, and a few labs, but thanks to Wesker being dealt with, they don't have to worry too much on it spreading too fast.

Rebecca wanted to sit near Applejack, but the look that Bruce, Leon & Claire had on their face suggested that it's not the best idea, they still looked a bit displeased over what she did before. Applejack looked unhappy that Rebecca had to keep a distance, she liked her company, though she must admit, she isn't too sure if she really likes Rebecca in the way she thinks she does, of if it's just a passing phase. Regardless she wants to figure it out for herself, she could do without the interference.

While they gathered around, the lights started to flicker, causing some confusion among the group.

"What's with the lights? Someone forget to pay the electric bill?" Chris asked.

Soon they felt a gust of wind, weird since they're indoors.

"Applejack, are you getting another letter?" Carlos asked, gaining a look of 'Real Funny' from Applejack.

As this continued, Applejack felt a strange aura, "This feels so familiar...what's going on?"

A voice was heard afterwards, "Hello Applejack, it's been a while".

Applejack's eyes widened, "No...it can't be you!" This caused some concern from her allies. "Applejack, what's going on?" Chris asked.

"Who is that guy?" Bruce asked.

Applejack felt a shiver, "It's King Sombra!"

Sombra chuckled, "Right you are, looks like you've been pretty busy lately, I hear that you've been facing zombies, that's quite interesting I should say".

Leon stood to speak, "You're the one who banished Applejack to this world!?"

"That's right solider, unfortunately these zombies never got to experience the taste of Apples".

Bruce slammed his fist down, "You God Damn varmit! When ah get my hands on you, I'm gonna make you pay for putting Applejack through this hell!"

Chris grabbed his gun, "Why don't you just show up right now, Your Majesty", Chris stating the last part with blatant sarcasm.

"In due time, though with what I have planned, time is not your friend, soon I shall be rid of all of you, you're all a liability to my cause, and you all will suffer my wrath, it's only a matter of time".

Sombra's voice faded, Applejack looked concerned, "Ah gotta get back home, ah gotta take him down!"

Chris patted her back, "We'll all take him down".

Bruce nodded, "We're in this together Baby Girl".

Everyone around agreed with these statements, all were ready to have Applejack's back.

"We got you AJ, you're not alone on this", Leon said.

Applejack felt so relieved, "Y'all are great friends, happy to have you on mah side".

They all nodded, they were ready for a fight. King Sombra and his magic was something they weren't exactly used to, but they knew one thing, they can handle any odds if they work as a team, they owed Applejack for helping them out, time for them to return the favor.

This group can handle zombies and other monsters, but they haven't really encountered magic, but that won't stop them. Applejack sure has a great group of allies, and she's gonna make sure to give Sombra what he has coming.
