As soon as Ada was now back in China, she grabbed her crossbow to place gently on her back and headed on out once again.
"Now to find out what Carla's been up to," she sighed as she used her grapple hook to get herself to higher ground.
After finally growing bored of the rooftops she dropped down onto a passing train, which was mostly empty save for a few people either sleeping, reading or just looking out the window. Now turning around she was quite surprised to see a plane flying dangerously low, so low in fact it looked to be headed for the ground pretty soon.
"Trouble always has a way of finding you now doesn't it, Leon?" she frowned as it flew right over her to now come crashing down.
The wings tore into everything in its path, buildings, cars even the unfortunates too unlucky to know what was coming. It spun after one of the wings broke off to then eventually come to a halt in a yard filled with shipping containers. Now raising her grapple hook, she took off in search of Carla to find and stop the woman from doing anything stupid.
xXx
As the four kept walking through the streets. Jill had taken point just in case any more of those J'avo were to catch them off guard. Jake was behind, his thoughts on this and that as Sherry and Claire chattered away between themselves.
"I'm really sorry for leaving you like I did," Claire apologised to her.
"It's fine," Sherry shook her head. "Besides I still would have been taken by the government anyway."
"I know but I really shouldn't have left you both like that."
"You had to find Chris," she shrugged. "Beside's Simmons looked after me well enough."
"What happened?" Claire now turned serious.
"It's just they did a lot, and I mean a lot of tests on me."
Claire sighed heavily.
"They told me they were checking to see if I'd end up like my..." she cut herself off for Claire to now wrap an arm around her.
"When all this is over you can come stay with me, got it?"
Sherry nodded with a smile. "I'd really like that."
"We got company," Jake now pointed out as Jill was already aiming her gun at the approaching J'avo.
Jill and Claire gunned most of them down, while Sherry shocked a few for Jake to finish off with his fists. Some of the lucky ones cocooned to then later emerge in a cloud of thick smoke. Even before the smoke or gas had cleared something was propelled their way.
"Look out!" Jake warned as the things projectiles narrowly missed them.
Soon enough they could plainly see just what had been firing at them. These things looked quite lizard like, almost like a Dilophosaurus, but slightly different as expected from the virus mutation. Having three eyes on each side of their head, a frill around the neck which they opened to warn that they were about to breathe out a toxic gas, and there was also thick bony spikes on the end of their tails much like that of a Stegosaurus only these could be thrown and grown back rapidly.
"Come here, you...ahhh!" Jake now coughed as one breathed in his face. "What...the...hell!"
They were fast and agile, but thankfully not immune to bullets and other such weapons.
"Watch yourself!" Jill shouted at him as she quickly took aim to drop one of them.
Sherry readied her shock baton as another ran over to her, quickly ducking to swipe at its leg it dropped to the floor to then have Jake crush its skull under his boot. The last went down as Claire got a really lucky headshot on it just as it was about to breathe the gas on them.
"Come on, let's get outta here before..." Jake was cut short at seeing a plane heading right for ground level.
"It's American!" Sherry pointed out as she watched it pass.
"Come on, we should check for survivors." Claire now turned back as the plane now crashed not far from them.
Sherry and Jake were now ahead of the pair, and the first to spot a couple stumbling away from the crash.
"Is that..." she pondered as she looked to the pair, picking the man off at thinking she recognised him. "Leon?"
At the sound of his name he turned along with Helena.
"Did she just say Leon?" Claire thought as she hurried over to find said man.
"Sherry?" he looked to her with furrowed brows. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on protective detail," she informed him.
"Leon?" Claire now called out, a smile breaking out on her face.
"Claire?" he now turned to her as well. "What's going on?"
"Long story short, I came looking for Chris again."
"Really?" Leon frowned, getting a nod in response before turning to look at Jill. "BSAA."
"Jill Valentine," she introduced.
"You're Chris' partner, also the one lone survivor of Raccoon City."
She nodded. "I have Carlos and Barry to thank for getting me out of that mess."
"Hard to believe you were there as we were," he said as he glanced at Claire who nodded in return. "Same place, different times."
Jake and Helena felt a little out of place as the others all seemed to know one another.
"Yeah, it would have been nice if we could have found one another." She sighed as Claire rested her hand on her arm. "But at least we all made it out alive and that's what counts."
"I'm really pleased that we all met up like this, but why are you here?" Sherry now asked.
It was back to business once again.
"I'm tracking the man behind all this," Leon turned to Helena who nodded in turn. "Chief Security Advisor Simmons."
Sherry looked to Claire now.
"I told you, Sherry." She sighed. "That's what I was trying to warn you about."
Leon looked to her before looking back at Sherry.
"I report to Simmons," she told them.
Helena was quite taken aback by it.
"He's your supervisor?" Leon asked.
"He's also the one that's taken care of her all this time," Claire added bitterly.
"We were just on our way to meet with him," Sherry informed them.
"Where is he!" Leon now demanded.
Sherry seemed rather reluctant to share that detail.
"I need to know.."
"Back off!" Jake pushed him back.
"Jake!" Sherry calmed him.
Claire quickly stepped in now standing in front of Leon. "Sherry, please, this is important."
It looked to be an all out war between them now as Helena reached for her gun.
"Let me handle this," Sherry sighed, not wanting to start anymore trouble.
Jake then grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the group. She quickly held up a hand to say she could handle it as Claire was just about ready to step in again.
"What are you doing?" he asked. "You know your orders. It should be just the two of us!"
"I know that!" she scowled, pulling her arm free of him. "These are people I know and trust."
"Yeah, I seems like it when you've got them ganging up on you."
"They're just worried about me that's all," she told him as she turned away.
"That right?" he asked.
"Just drop it!" she glared at him. "Come on, we need to..."
"Watch out!" Helena now yelled at seeing one of the plane engines flying their way.
Leon was torn between jumping to the side or grabbing Sherry, thankfully Jake had grabbed hold of her to throw them both out of the way.
"Please tell me this isn't another tyrant," Jill now groaned, getting a look from Claire who knew all too well herself.
"Yeah, it's Raccoon City all over again."
Leon was just now pulling himself to his feet, Helena doing the same beside him.
"Not him again!" Jake yelled as the bulking behemoth dropped down to join them.
"You've fought this thing before and you're still breathing?" Helena now asked.
"Are you kidding me? I get a kick out of this," he told her, getting a look from everyone.
"You're not entirely sane are you?" she questioned what was on everyone's mind.
He just gave an amused snort in return until Sherry's shrill cry rang out. Claire was on the things arm in an instant, forcing it to release the younger woman. Jake ran full speed at it, all the while avoiding the gun fire. He skidded across the floor, taking a foot from under the thing. It went down on one leg as they all then ganged up on it.
"Thanks!" Sherry coughed, as soon as she was released.
"Are you alright?" Claire was now fussing over her.
"I'm fine," Sherry smiled at her.
"Claire! Sherry! Watch out!" Leon yelled as the behemoth stood to throw out his claw.
Jake quickly threw himself in the way to then be captured and caged.
"Nooo!" Sherry screamed. "He's taking Jake!"
"Not if I can help it," Leon scowled, taking aim at the things open stomach.
The Ustanak dropped to one knee, his hand on the floor for support.
"Get me outta here would ya?" Jake demanded as he tried to force the cage open.
Jill, Helena, Sherry and Leon were all by the things back now, pulling the cage door open. Claire was making damned sure he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon until they freed Jake.
"Appreciate the help," he said as he jumped from the things back.
Once they were at a safe distance, they opened fire once again. Soon they came to realise one of the power towers was looking a little unstable and was about to fall. Thankfully due to them keeping it down, the tower now fell on top of the bulking creature. Only the group were now split up.
"Is it dead?" Helena asked.
"The bastards indestructible," Jake scowled at the smouldering mess.
"Sherry! Claire! Are you alright?" Leon called out to them.
"Yeah, we're fine." Claire responded.
"Leon, were heading for the Kwun Lung Building in Koochenge!" Sherry then informed him. "That's where I'm meeting with Simmons!"
"Alright," Leon sighed in return. "Listen though, Sherry, until we..."
He was then cut off by a small eruption, forcing the three to go their way while the others took another way.
