Chapter Thirty-seven: Coming to the End

"We cannot wait any longer" Chris says. "We have to move in!"

Jill looks at Norah and back at Chris. "Right. Lets move" she continues.

They all equip their guns and emerge from the forest making their way to the Tricell entrance. "This is it" Barry says to his teammates.

Norah looks quite nervous about the situation. Maybe due to the news just revealed or maybe from the fright of what they could encounter inside. The BSAA members are more trained and "qualified" in these situations.

They creep up to the entrance. Chris and Jill stand beside the entrance door. His hand pushes the door open as Barry and Sheva enter. Chris and Jill next, then Norah last. A cool draft fills the air making the area quite chilly. They keep moving further inside the facility.

A security camera scans every movement by the team. Nicholai and Kelly watch on. "Its time" Nicholai says to her. She motions walking to one of the computers. She types for a few moments and then a map appears on the screen. A certain area on the map is high lightened. Then a notification appears. It reads "Research Lab: Cage Locks Released." Kelly reads the notification and smiles.

A helicopter flies above the Arklay Mountains. Ada stands in the doorway looking down at the numerous trees as she turns and sees the Tricell Facility. Not wearing her signature red dress instead wearing a long sleeved top covered by a tactical vest including black pants as well as gloves and boots. Atop her tactical vest is a long coat that is tied, cinched at her hips. She jumps out of the plane extending her arms as the coat opens like a bat-like figure, gliding her down to ground. She disposes of the coat and makes her way to the Tricell entrance as the helicopter flies away.

As she approaches the door she can hear something moving. Not walking but moving behind her. She feels vines at her feet. They slowly wrap around her ankle as she pretends not to have noticed. Suddenly Ada brings herself to the floor as the moving life-like plant spits acid out at her. The acid hitting the door. Melting both the door and some of the wall. She equips her knife and cuts the vines from her legs as the vines grow tighter crushing her ankle. She quickly gets up equipping her gun as the plant spits acid following her movement. It keeps missing as Ada disappears into the forest.

The BSAA continue down the long hallway. They turn and a door all the way down the hall has a blue flashlight light above it. "Look Chris" Jill says. Suddenly the light turns red and stops flashing. Then a sound of a lock being reversed sounds.

"What's that" Sheva says as they move closer towards the door. Sheva and Barry stay back with Norah behind them. Chris and Jill move towards the door. Jill puts her ear against the door.

"What" she says lowly. "We better be careful" she says looking up at Chris. Suddenly a loud noise comes from inside the room. It sounds completely chaotic in the room. Jill hears a bang against the door causing her to jump back

"Get back" Chris shouts as he helps Jill catch her balance. Suddenly the door comes crashing down as numerous animals appear coming towards them.

Hunnigan amongst the numerous guards continue shooting at the mutated Steve. Weirdly enough they notice he isn't very strong. Suddenly he stops in his tracks as the guards stop shooting. He backs away and puts his hands to his head. Letting off a loud screaming noise. They put their hands to their ears as the noise is more then unbearable. They collapse to the floor from the pain his screams cause to them.

Suddenly the screams and cries stop. They get up and look as they see Steve… laying on the floor back to his normal form. Surprisingly enough he is still breathing. They all rise staring at his unconscious body. One guard goes over to Steve and reloads his gun. He points it at Steve's head. Surely the bullet would kill Steve now that he is back in his normal state.

The VOS enter through the door with the Umbrella insignia. They now have their flashlights equipped as the door has closed behind them. They can hear the lamps swinging above them despite the bulbs not working. It feels very soggy and humid in the pathway. The air is so thick making it hard for them to continue moving quickly. Suddenly a loud monotonic moan breaks through the air causing them to cringe. They all have their weapons equipped as they walk closer to the end of the hall.

Back at 'The Agency' Rebecca continues to sleep to speed up her recovery. Claire sits beside her, still. She stares at Sherry who now lays across a bench in the room. Tears run down Sherry's face as numerous needle holes can be seen up and down Sherry's arm. The anti-virus injections continue to show no effect on the T-Veronica viruses inside her.

Nicholai and Kelly watch through the security camera as the BSAA fight the numerous animals/monsters from the research lab. They both have smirks across their face as they feel they have won the battle. Norah, however, makes them take notice as her strength is visibly more superior as to the BSAA comrades.

Suddenly glass shattering distracts Kelly and Nicholai. Water can be seen leaking out from under the door. Nicholai and Kelly rush over to the room swinging open the door. Perdy stands looking up as she lowly says "daddy…" as Wesker stands before them all.
