CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Rebecca turned the doorknob and it opened. It actually opened! She let out a shout. "Got one!" She yelled. Jacob wasn't moving. He had his eyes shut tightly, and Blazer and Kristy were using all their strength to keep the doors shut. Even Blazer's super strength was not match for the hoard of zombies on the other side of the double doors.

Suddenly there was an explosion. The two doors imploded, knocking Blazer, Kristy, and Jacob to the ground. Rebecca let out a scream, as eight commandos ran through the now re-dead crowd of zombies. Darman and Sev helped the three to their feet. Blazer smacked Scorch on the arm. "'Bout time you boys showed up." He said.

Scorch just smirked. "Glad to be of service. Where's everyone else?" He asked. Jacob scratched his head. "Dunno. We were all separated when that gas began to pour out and we became unconscious."

Boss nodded to Niner. "Yea, well this place is a death zone. We have to go now."

Kristy shook her head. "What? Why? What about Matt and Lara? And Kate and Etain, and Fordo?"

"We'll find em. But we have to get out before an hour is up. Otherwise, we ain't getting out. Blast doors will seal us in."

I was walking along side Lara, when the shockwave hit. There had been an explosion. I looked at Lara, and she looked at me. Then, at that moment, we both took off running, in the direction of the explosion. We reached a double doors, and shoved them open, to find All eight commandos, Blazer, Kristy, Jacob, and Rebecca, standing in front of an open door, with the two doors at the end of the corridor off their hinges, laying on the ground.

Everyone one looked at us. I pumped the shotgun up once and raised it up toward Kristy. I sent her a look, and she took the hint and dropped to the ground. I fired the shotgun once, and the undead lab worker went flying backwards from the blast, and hit the wall. I pumped the empty shell casing out of the shotgun and holstered it on my back.

"It's time to go ladies," I smiled and took Kristy's hand to help her to her feet, "and Gentlemen."

Suddenly the doors Lara and I had busted through, flew open again, and a swarm of undead bean to run in. Literally. I looked at Kristy. "What? I didn't do it!" I said, giving her a gentle shove. We all took off through the door Rebecca had found. I looked up above it, and read the sign. Class 6 BIOWEAPON Testing.

I frowned, and then looked at the zombies. We had no choice. Do or die. I rushed in after my friends, into the mouth of horror.

I shut the door and Kristy sealed it up tight with a flame from her hands. "Where's Kate and Etain? Fordo?" I asked. Everyone shrugged. I smacked myself in the face. "This just keeps getting better and better doesn't it?" I felt a slap on my back and turned to a smirking Fetch. "What's so bloody funny?"

He shrugged. "We're going to die, might as well die happy." I rolled my eyes and moved down the very short hall into a small cube sized room. Xor found the light switch and they flashed on overhead, reviling in the center of the room, a computer system, which faced a very thick, heavy duty blast door.

I looked over at Jacob. He looked at me. We both knew what this was. The hall that led to the AI computer server room. The Red Queen's Chamber. Or at least, that's how it went in the movie of Resident Evil.

Lara dropped the small pack that was full of guns. "Shall we prepare ourselves for the worst?"

Fordo moved down the hall, listening carefully. He could hear the moaning of the undead beings as they moved through the halls and labs. He had managed to evade most of them, only having to run past a few of them. But as he stepped through the doorway, he couldn't help but gasp at what he saw.

The monster stood at least 12 feet tall, with practically a few hundred thin arms, and no neck what so ever, with it's head built into it's chest, and it's muscles bulging out of it's sexless body. At that moment, Fordo almost dropped the pistol, as the monster turned to him, raising half of it's arms into the air, and growling.

"Holy Force!" He yelped. He didn't even think about it. He took off, ducking past the monster, and running as fast as he could, he reached a corner, where he saw a wide doorway, where two doors had once been. He was out of breath, and just barely holding it together. He couldn't find Etain, or any of his friends, and none of the Commandos.

And now he was faced with a large wide corridor, with doors on every side, and not to mention it was full of undead, most of which had already spotted him. He saw one door, which seemed to have been sealed shut with some sort of heat source.

What do I have to lose? He shrugged at the question he asked himself and ran over to the door and began to pound on it. "Hey! Hey! Kristy! Matt! Someone!" He glanced around him as the zombies turned to him and began to shuffle in his direction.

"Did someone hear something?" Niner looked at me and Boss. Darman and Fixer had sat down at the computer system, and had begun to hack it. As we were waiting, we had heard a shout. We all looked down the hall that led to the door Kristy had sealed up. "Curious." Boss and Niner walked down the hall. Suddenly, after a moment, there was a shout from one of them, it was hard to tell which, as they had the same voice, being clones and all. I rushed down the hall after them, and heard what they had.

Fordo was on the other side! "Fordo! Fordo, get away from the door, I'm gonna blow it!"

Both Squad leaders looked at me. I frowned. "God I hope he's standing back." I held up both my hands and focused heavily. Suddenly the door began to snap of it's hinges, And suddenly flew out, and smashed into a group of undead people. Suddenly Fordo rushed in, past us. "Close the door!" He shouted. We looked at him, confused. "What are you talking about? They're just zombies. Their slow." Then he pointed past us and outside the doorway. We turned and looked. "What in death's name, is that?!" Boss screamed, as he saw the large, 12 foot monster.

He didn't wait for an answer, and both of them open fired with the pistols they had gotten from Lara. "Hold fire!" I yelled. They stopped firing. I threw a force field up over the doorway. "You guys hurry up and get through that hall way. Listen To Jacob. He'll know what to do incase…" I trailed off the sentence, thinking about what would happen if it was just like the movie. The thought sent a shiver down my spine and my mouth went dry.

I couldn't start worrying now. I had to focus on keeping the force field up. It would take all my mind's power. Boss looked at me. I glared at him. "Get your ass moving, soldier!" I hissed. He frowned, but did as I told him. A moment later, I heard one of the clones announce: "Door opened. Let's move."

Then I did what I had never done much before the first nuclear bomb exploded near my house. I said a prayer.
