Enduring the Evil 2 Chapter 14: Time to Leave, a resident evil fanfic

Enduring the Evil 2

Disclaimer: This is my second Resident Evil story and the sequel to the previous 'Enduring the Evil' which was requested by a few friends after they said how much they liked it. Of course, I was obviously most likely going to do another one anyway. The story is the Resident Evil plot but due to some changes I have put into it, it is non-canon. All OCs in this story belong to me and my friends, Resident Evil and all of its characters etc belong to Capcom. Story has been updated, all spelling mistakes and errors that I could find have been fixed.

Chapter 14 - Time to Leave

Security Room, 6:30 AM, 'Alex, Bryan, Danny, Scott, Louise, Sherry'

Everyone sat quietly, still recovering, with the door locked, they waited silently until Claire had returned with the vaccine. The only thing on their minds was escaping, but they also looked back at everything they had been through. How did they get caught up in this zombie mess in the first place? The answer immediately revealed itself, they remembered when they first decided to leave for a camping trip, in the Arklay Mountains, biggest mistake ever.

"Everyone ok?" Alex said looking at everyone else.

Bryan and Danny were sitting on the floor against the wall, Scott remained in his chairs, his broken leg laying on another chair, his other hand against where he had been shot, no doubt he was in pain. Louise was sitting on the bed next to Sherry keeping her company, Sherry herself was still sleeping or was still unconscious, it had been so long already he forgot.

"I'll take your silence as a no." Alex said sitting back down.

Scott spoke up. "We're tired Alex, when was the last time any of us got some fucking sleep?"

Alex shrugged. "A while ago, that I know."

"Right, so just do us all a favour, don't talk so loud, we need to rest." Scott replied and closed his eyes.

He sat down on another chair and stayed quiet. Scott was right, he couldn't remember the last time they got any sleep, if Claire wasn't here and they were too exhausted to do anything, it would be better if they rested for now, atleast until they got back enough energy to continue on.

Alex lowered his head and closed his eyes, the first thing that entered his head was the others, the last time he saw them.

"What the fuck?! Kyle what are you doing?! KYLE!" Alex shouted as he struggled to restrain Kyle.

Bryan and Jamie just stared, wondering what was going on.

"Well don't just stand there! GET HIM OFF OF ME!"

Bryan and Jamie grabbed Kyle but he immediately went for them, they both shoved him back and helped Alex up.

Bryan looked at him. "What's wrong with his eyes?"

Jamie shook his head. "Kyle what's wrong?"

Alex clenched his fist. "How is that possible? That dog ripped him apart and he's still alive? That ain't possible, but..."

Kyle was slowly limping towards them.

The trio backed away from him. "Kyle?"

"Kyle don't you recognize us?"

"It's us!"

Alex shook his head. "No...something's wrong, I don't think any human being could survive something like that, he got ripped apart. I don't know what's wrong but we have to take care of him."

Bryan looked at him. "What do you mean?"

Alex looked at Bryan and tilted his head sideways towards Kyle. "Bryan, you know what I mean."

Bryan's eyes widened. "What? No way man! I ain't shooting him!"

Alex grabbed him. "He just tried to bite me, he's crazed all of a sudden, I don't know why and I personally don't want to know, do him a favour Bryan."

Bryan stepped in front of them and looked at his hunting rifle and back at Kyle. "Kyle..."

Kyle continued to limp towards them.

Bryan lifted his rifle up and aimed it at Kyle's head, a tear dropped down his face. "I'm sorry man." Bryan pulled the trigger and a bullet shot out of the rifle and went through Kyle's head. The noise of the bang slowly got quieter until everything went silent. Kyle fell to the ground with a loud thud and was no longer moving.

"Kyle..." Alex quietly muttered. He slowly lifted his head to look at Bryan who was still sleeping, he sighed and lowered his head again and closed his eyes.

"Andrew! Andrew!" Alex kneeled down beside Andrew who was breathing heavily, there was blood everywhere and the bite marks were so deep into his neck that the blood didn't stop pouring out.

Danny kneeled down beside him. "Andrew it's gonna be alright! You're gonna be okay!"

"It's alright, you're gonna be alright bro." Connor said trying to calm him down.

Andrew continued to breath heavily. "A-Alex...I don't want to be...one of those things..."

Alex shook his head and held Andrew's hand as he continued. "I don't...want to become one of those monsters. W-Walking around...without a soul..."

Alex nodded. "You won't."

"I'm sorry...I wasn't much help to you guys was I?" Andrew said as he coughed out blood.

Connor shook his head. "Hell no man! If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have gotten this far!"

Andrew smiled. "Thanks Connor..."

Everyone started to hold back tears, some were letting them out, some were struggling to hold them in. Tears were falling down Alex's face but he continued to stare at Andrew, Jamie shed tears but kept his head down to hide his face, Connor, Bryan and Danny weren't holding back and let their tears out, Scott shed no tears but stared in disbelief.

Andrew clenched his fist and slowly aimed it at them, Alex and the others could see his ring with his name on it. Alex put his fist against Andrew's, followed by Danny and Bryan, then Connor and Jamie, and after a few seconds, Scott managed a slight smile and put his fist against the rest of them.

Andrew smiled. "You guys are my best friends, you're my family, I love you all."

Alex nodded. "Yeah..."

Andrew coughed up more blood. "Please, Scott, shoot me, if I'm going to die, I want to atleast die without turning, and knowing you were the one that put me to rest." He removed his ring and gave it to Alex. "Take my ring, and remember me."

Alex nodded and stood up. "Andrew, you will always be with us, you know that."

Andrew slightly nodded, his breathing became faster and heavier.

Bryan shook his head. "Not this way man, not when we were so close..."

Andrew smiled. "It's alright Bryan, please, don't grieve over me, be strong, as long as we are all friends 'til the end, that's all that matters. I'm going to be with Kyle, we'll be watching over you all, so please, for all of our sakes, live."

Bryan nodded and stood up without hesitation, Scott, followed by Alex, Jamie, Connor, Danny and Bryan all aimed their weapons at Andrew as he slowly started to close his eyes.

"I'm sorry Andrew." Bryan quietly muttered.

After a few seconds past, Andrew stopped moving, and following Scott's lead, the six of them fired all of their weapons into Andrew. Even if he were to turn, no zombie would be able to handle the amount of firepower they had just used.

Alex clenched his fist hard, when he thought of that time with Andrew, he remembered what Jamie said.

"Good luck with that. Oh, and perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret." Jamie said and smirked at them. "I...killed...Andrew."

Alex knew very well what Jamie meant when he said he killed Andrew.

Jamie moved to the very back of the group, he turned around and saw a zombie limping towards them from behind. Only he was aware of this and turned to see Andrew was also behind everyone else. Jamie decided to take advantage of this by putting his own scheme into motion. Everyone else was still unaware of the zombie behind them, and as it got closer, Jamie slowly shoved his way through the group until he got to the front, no one complained, but instead gave him a confused look. "Just wanted to see for myself." He said in response to the looks they gave him.

After that had happened, Andrew was attacked by the zombie that was right behind them. Alex hit himself over the head, he felt so stupid, he should have realised that, why else would Jamie all of a sudden move to the front of the group back then? He did it to get away from the zombie so it would attack Andrew instead, he started his little plan of revenge at that time, and Alex just couldn't believe he didn't see it sooner. If he did, then maybe Andrew would have lived, but he didn't.

"Why Jamie?" Alex quietly muttered. It was a question in which he wanted a real answer. Of course, Jamie did tell him why he did what he did, Alex thought about it and started to wonder if he really could blame Jamie for what he had done.

"You know fine well what I'm talking about Alex! Back at the mansion, all of you saw me as nothing but the little wimp, the guy who was too scared to do shit! You even talked down to me, in every possible way, I was nothing but a useless, expendable fucking servant to you!"

That definitely answered him, Alex began to feel quilty about it. Jamie was right, back at the mansion they did indeed talk down to him, saw him as just someone who was too scared. He honestly couldn't blame Jamie for doing what he did, but even so, could he forgive him? Jamie himself had done terrible things already, did he really deserve Alex's sympathy?

"Hey Scott?"

Silence was his reply.

"Scott?"

Scott opened his eyes and looked at him. "What?"

Alex continued. "About what Jamie said a while ago, about us talking down to him and everything, I was just wondering-"

Scott cut in. "You were thinking about what he said and were wondering if he really had a right to do it after all the shit we said to him. You were thinking, could we really blame him after all that we said to him, you're starting to feel guilty about it, I'll answer your question, no we can't forgive him. Even if he did have a right to get back at us, he did so in the wrong and most worst way imaginable, so stop thinking about it, he is the one who should be feeling apologetic about what he has done, not us."

"Oh...ok." Alex replied.

Scott turned away and closed his eyes again.

"Damn he's good." Alex muttered.

Everything began to shake, waking everyone up and forcing them to their feet. "What the fuck was that?!" Danny shouted.

"The self-destruct sequence has been activated, repeat, the self-destruct sequence has been activated, this sequence may not be aborted. All employees proceed to the emergency car at the bottom platform."

"What does that mean?" Bryan asked.

Alex looked at him. "It means we have a way out of here."

Laboratory, Birkin's Lab, 6:30 AM, 'Claire'

"Finally it's ready!" Claire took the vaccine out of the machine and held it carefully in her hand. She looked at it, this little tube is what will save Sherry, it was actually funny how something so small could save a life, but then, size isn't everything.

Claire exited the lab and made her way into the hallway and looked around. "The others haven't gotten back, they said they would catch up, I wonder if...no...no they're alive, I know it, I just hope they're all right, I hope they're not hurt. I better make my way back up to the security room."

She made her way around the corner and on the floor up ahead was Annette, laying where she died. Claire kneeled down beside her and sighed, she knew Annette could have been saved, but she was unable to, and now Sherry had no family. William Birkin himself didn't count at all because he was no longer human, he was still around somewhere too, it made her very nervous because for all she knew, he could just pop out of anywhere and attack her, she definitely wished Alex and the others were with her right now.

Then she remembered, Leon was also still around somewhere, however she didn't know if he was still alive or not. Of course she could contact him but she was worried that she may not receive a reply and decided not to contact him.

Claire stood up and looked down at Annette one last time and remembered her last words.

"W-William is still alive...he's getting stronger with each skin he casts off. Sh-Sherry..."

"Tell me what I need to know! How can I save Sherry?!" Claire replied.

Annette handed her some papers. "I have detailed information, everything you need to know to prepare the antidote is right here."

Claire quickly looked through the papers and put them away, turning back to Annette.

"Save my daughter, a-and...tell her I'm sorry I wasn't a better mother, tell her I love her...Sherry." Annette's voice began to get quieter, and eventually, she stopped breathing.

"Annette...I really do wish you could have seen Sherry one last time, but I promise, I will look after her." Claire said.

Everything began to shake, Claire kept her balance and managed to stay on her feet.

"That doesn't sound good, I better hurry!"

Laboratory, Elevator Corridor, 6:30 AM, 'Leon'

Leon had searched everywhere possible, he had tried looking for Ada and the others but the turntable was nowhere to be seen on the lower level, the security room door was locked also, and Claire was still wandering around somewhere too.

He didn't have to worry too much though, Nathan was with the others and Ada was more than capable of looking after herself for now but he did doubt it a little since she was injured. Claire was also most likely still with the other survivors she mentioned earlier so she was probably also still alive, he didn't have much to worry about.

Most of the rooms on the lower level were locked, luckily he found the power room key, so he made his way all the way back to the power room to hopefully get the power on for most of the sections of the lab.

A loud sound filled the air, Leon stopped walking down the corridor and looked behind him to see the source of the sound, only to see someone, or something he was hoping he wouldn't run into again, Tyrant.

The Tyrant slowly made its way towards him, Leon took a few steps back and fired his gun at the monster, but to no surprise, the bullets didn't faze it one bit. Instead, he turned to run on and entered into the steam room, slammed the door shut and immediately sprinted all the way down and up to the other door on the other side of the room.

For a few minutes he waited and kept his eye on the door on the other side, waiting for Tyrant to enter, but it didn't, instead of wasting more time, Leon entered the door behind him into the power room.

He made his way around the narrow catwalk where he was attacked earlier by lickers and looked around for a way to restore some power to the complex, but his search was stopped when Tyrant appeared again, landing right behind him.

"DAMN! Don't you ever give up!" Leon said taking a step back and then ran to the other side, only there was nowhere else to run and he was at a dead end. He watched as the monster slowly stalked towards him, but before it could reach him, blood shot out its shoulder, caused by a gunshot that filled the air.

Both turned to the source of the gunshot, revealing it to be Ada. "Run!" Ada shouted.

"Ada!" Leon shouted as Ada began unloading her gun into Tyrant as it slowly made its way towards her, unfazed by her bullets. Her gun then clicked, and she quickly put in another clip but was too late to fire as the monster reached her and picked her up by the neck.

"ADA!"

Ada with her gun reloaded in time, managed to unload several shots into Tyrant's face, and the monster, beginning to feel the force of the bullets to its brain clutched its now bleeding head and with devastating force, threw Ada into the central column of the power room. Ada lay where she was thrown, and managed to watch as Tyrant toppled over a loose railing and fell all the way into a vat of molten steel hundreds of feet below.

Leon rushed over to her side and held her in his arms.

"Leon, please...escape." Ada muttered as she looked at him.

Leon shook his head. "No...we're a team, I can't just leave you behind."

"I'm...just a woman...who fell in love with you. Nothing more." She replied quietly.

They both embraced, then they kissed. Their passionate encounter however ended when a soft moan came from her, and then to Leon's shock, she expired.

"Ada...no...ADAAAAAA!" Leon screamed followed by the electrical sounds of the broken column, along with the entire room shaking, then a voice in air.

Leon stood up and looked down at her one last time. "I'll always remember you, goodbye Ada." He saw something next to her body, it was the master key. Excellent he thought, this was exactly what he needed to gain access to the escape route. He wasted no more time and made his way back into the steam room.

Before he could advance any further, his radio beeped.

"Leon! You made it!"

"Claire? Is that you?! Where are you?!" He replied.

"I can see you on the monitor, but never mind that right now, Leon you have to go back and get Sherry for me, I left her in the security office, please you must save her."

"Wait a second, what are you gonna do? Where are you going?"

"I still have a few loose ends to take care of, I'm counting on you."

"Hello? Claire are you there?! CLAIRE!" He sighed and put his radio away. "The security office?" He remembered it was locked the last time he checked, however this time he had the master key, which would no doubt unlock the door. He wasted no time and rushed his way through the steam room and back through the elevator corridor and used the elevator to take him down to the lower level where the security room was.

Up ahead, the turntable was still nowhere to be seen, but he didn't have time to waste and immediately went to the security room and quickly unlocked the door. However the moment he entered, he was greeted with several guns aimed at him.

"Whoa..." Leon muttered quietly.

"LEON!" The voice was familiar, it was Louise, who ran over to him and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're still alive!"

"Louise? Heh, I'm glad to see you too."

The others in the room lowered their weapons, the tall one was the first to speak. "Sorry about that, we thought you were another monster."

"It's alright." Leon replied.

"I'm Alex, nice to finally meet you in person, Leon." Alex said shaking his hand.

Leon returned his smile. "Nice to finally meet you in person too." He turned to the others in the room.

"That's Bryan..." He said pointing to the one leaning against the wall. "That's Danny..." He continued and pointed to the one with long ginger hair who had a bandage covering half of his face. "And that's Scott." He finished pointing to the one on the chair with what seemed to be a broken leg resting on another chair with his head slumped over facing the floor.

"You're the survivors that were with Claire then right?" Leon asked.

Alex nodded. "Yeah, she's somewhere else right now trying to get a vaccine for Sherry."

"Sherry!" Leon had just remembered, luckily Sherry was lying down on the bed at the side of the room.

"Sherry, I've come to get you out of here, Claire is waiting for you."

Everyone just watched for a moment and waited for a reply. Sherry slowly opened her eyes and looked at Leon. "Claire?"

Leon nodded and picked Sherry up and carried her out of the room, he also noticed she was wearing Claire's red vest but said nothing about it, it wasn't really any of his business.

"Wait Leon!" Alex shouted and stopped him. "Do you know where we can find a way out of here?"

Leon turned to him and nodded. "Yeah, we can use the elevator over there to reach the emergency car."

Alex raised a brow. "Oh I see, so that's what that elevator is for. Great, Louise, you go with Leon."

Louise turned to him. "What about you?"

"We'll catch up, we need to carry Scott out of here." Alex replied.

She nodded in response and entered the elevator with Leon. "Hurry Alex!" She shouted before the elevator doors closed.

Alex took a deep breath and entered the security room. "You guys able to walk?"

Bryan stood up and nodded. "Yeah, I'm good enough to go on."

"Same here, I can still fight too." Danny followed and stood up.

Alex walked over to them both and nodded. "Ok guys, time to leave." He said and walked over to Scott, who was completely silent. His hand was against where he was shot, and his head was slumped down, still facing the floor, but his eyes were closed.

"Scott?" Alex said and waited for a reply.

Silence.

He waited for a short minute again and still no reply.

Bryan and Danny both noticed this and slowly walked over to Alex's side next to Scott.

"Scott?"

Tears were starting to form in their eyes when there was still no reply.

Bryan and Danny lowered their heads, while Alex just continued to stare in shock, however, he didn't give up, and decided to try one more time. "SCOTT!"

Silence followed again, but to their surprise, finally a reply came. "...What?" Scott said, not looking at them and just stayed in the same position he was in.

Alex and the others sighed with relief. "You ok?"

"I'm always ok." He quietly replied.

Bryan smirked. "You look like hell."

"...Whatever." Scott replied quietly again, his voice was weak but it still had the same cold tone that was enough to make people shudder.

Alex put a hand on his shoulder. "Come on man, we're leaving."

Scott opened his eyes and slowly looked at them. "You should just go without me, don't worry, I'll catch up."

Danny shook his head and put a hand on his other shoulder. "Yeah, fuck you, now come on!"

"You guys are just too soft." Scott replied, obviously frustrated at their stubbornness.

Alex shook his head and slowly put an arm around him. "Maybe we're just keeping to an oath we all swore when we all first met."

Scott looked at them all and saw the confidence and determination in their eyes. "Alex, Danny, Bryan, I...heh...you guys are idiots."

"Hahahaha!" They all laughed together.

Alex with Bryan and Danny's assistance managed to help Scott up to his feet, or foot due to his broken leg. "So what do you say buddy, think you can endure again?"

Scott cocked his gun and smirked at him. "You're damn right I can."

The group exited the room and made their way towards the elevator and waited for it to arrive.

"Bryan, Danny, you two take care of Scott." Alex said.

Danny turned to him. "What? Where are you going?"

Alex put a handgun in his pocket and took Scott's shotgun. "I'm going to find Claire." He was about to leave until Danny stopped him.

"Wait!"

Bryan used both of his arms to support Scott while Danny stopped Alex. "What is it Danny?" Alex said looking back at them.

Danny continued. "You need to go with Bryan and Scott, I should go and find Claire because I...I...well I...forget it, just be careful Alex."

Alex raised a brow, confused as to what Danny was going to say but just nodded in response. "Don't worry, I'll make sure we both come back, Bryan, Danny, look after Louise and Scott while I'm gone."

The two younger members of the group nodded and watched as Alex walked off to find Claire.

Scott chuckled after hearing the conversation. "He's almost as crazy as you Bryan."

Bryan smirked. "Yeah, almost."

Transport, 6:40 AM, 'Leon, Sherry, Louise'

Louise had explained everything to Leon as they waited for the elevator to reach its destination, Sherry was able to hear the conversation aswell. Leon was even surprised when Louise mentioned Ada and was even more surprised that Stuart, Marc and Nathan would abandon their friends, but it didn't really matter now, what's done is done, and there was nothing that they could do now, all they could do was go on and try to escape. He would still never forget Ada, he never saw her as a bad person and he never would.

The elevator stopped moving and they both found themselves in an open area, and right in their view, a large train, this was their escape. Leon carried Sherry into the front carriage and lay her down on a bench. "Just rest here for now, Claire should be back soon."

Sherry gave a slight nod in response.

"Louise, stay here with Sherry, I'm going to take care of the power so we can start the train up." Leon said.

"Ok, be careful Leon." Louise replied and sat down next to Sherry.

Leon went to the rear of the train and got the platform key that was just lying on the floor, he would definitely need it to unlock the gate outside next to the train that leads to where the power is. After sorting out his weapons and ammo he returned to the front carriage of the train.

Upon leaving the carriage, Leon was immediately reunited with the others who exited the elevator.

"That was quick." Leon said with a smirk.

Bryan shrugged. "Well maybe we're just in a hurry to get out of here. Can you blame us?"

Leon raised a brow. "Wait a minute, where's Alex?"

Danny spoke up. "He's gone off to find Claire."

"Oh, well he better not take too long, our time is limited. Bryan, come and give me a hand with the power, we need to start this train up." Leon replied.

"So we're escaping in this?" Scott managed to say as he looked at the train.

Leon nodded. "Looks like it, but we need to get it started up first, Danny, you take Scott inside, Bryan you're with me, I'll need a hand with the power."

Danny helped Scott into the front carriage, while Bryan followed Leon.

Leon used the platform key to open the gate next to the train, before entering, he and Bryan readied their weapons and walked through to the next area.

Immediately after entering, everything shook, making them almost fall over, followed by a voice in the air.

"Five minutes until detonation."

"Shit, that ain't enough time!" Bryan said.

Leon looked around for a moment and then turned to him. "No, that's all the time we'll need."

Laboratory, Central Corridor, 6:40 AM, 'Claire'

Claire fired her way through a small group of zombies that she easily managed to dispatch thanks to the grenade launcher she found, it was also thanks to the weapon that she was able to fend off an attacking licker. However her ammo was limited and she returned to her handgun to take down the remaining zombies.

After clearing the area out, she moved to the control panel next to the large door and inserted the verification disk, followed by a small beep. She watched as the door began to move up until it was fully gone, which then revealed a small narrow hallway.

Before she was about to go through, gunshots filled the air, besides the computer voice in the air repeating the same warning over and over along with the alarm, she was still able to hear the gunshots very well.

She turned to the other side of the corridor and saw a zombie emerge, only to hear another gunshot and see blood shoot out of its head. She readied her gun but was relieved to see the friendly face of Alex.

"Alex! You're alive!" Claire said.

Alex ran over to her. "Same could be said about you Claire, are you all right? Did you get the vaccine?"

Claire nodded. "I'm fine, and yeah I've got the vaccine."

"Good, let's go then." Alex was about to run off the same way he just entered but stopped after noticing Claire wasn't following. "Claire aren't you coming?"

Claire turned to the small narrow corridor next to her. "We should head through this way, going all the way back up will take too much time."

Alex nodded. "True, well let's go then, Leon and the others are probably already at the emergency car."

"So Leon did go and get Sherry then?" Claire asked.

Alex nodded again. "Yeah, don't worry, she's still all right, but we have to hurry."

"Got it." Claire replied and ran down the corridor. Alex followed her.

They reached the end of the hallway and reached a large door. Together they opened it and entered, Alex first, Claire second into a cargo room, to their relief there was an elevator up ahead.

Before they could advance, everything around them began to shake, making them almost fall down.

"What was that?" Claire said looking around.

"Five minutes until detonation."

Alex tightened his grip around his gun and faced her. "Our final warning."

Authors Notes: Chapter has been updated. This chapter was a pain to write, but atleast I got it done. I'm nearing the end of the story now, I believe the next chapter will be the last as I was aiming for around 15 chapters anyway. If you do not understand why the warnings went off several times then look at what time each part of the chapter takes place, all 6:30 parts take place at the exact same time, the same thing with the 6:40 parts, so I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope I can finish the next and hopefully last one also in a good amount of time. Feel free to Review.
