"Carla stop we need to talk!" Leon called out to her, chasing her as fast as he could.
"Sorry, not in a talking mood. Especially with someone rude enough to not call me by my real name!" Carla snarled as she ran well ahead of him.
"That is your real...never mind." He sighed.
"Just stop this!" Helena called out to her from way behind.
"Ooh, you certainly are a take-charge kind of girl." Carla teased back.
"Don't lose her!" Chris growled from above.
"I won't!" Piers responded as he ran as quick as he could as well.
"I've wasted too much time here," Carla was now heard before she grappled her way onto yet another walkway. "Ciao."
She ran down the walkway only to now be cornered by Chris and Piers. The younger of the two now shooting at her feet as she tried to run his way. She stopped and backed up as the pair now closed in on her, cornering her in like a wild animal. They really should have known better than to block her in like this.
"Nowhere to run, Ada!" Chris glared as he looked at her with his gun raised and ready.
Carla gave him a smug look in return as she stood with her arms now crossed over her chest.
"You got me!" she teased.
This made Chris pull the trigger, forcing her to flinch if only slightly as the bullets skimmed right by her head. Leon was soon on him, trying his hardest to tackle him. The two got into a scuffle, which soon ended in a tie and both men now pointing their pistols at each other.
"Chris!" Leon glared at him.
"Leon?" Chris answered back a little surprised he was here as well.
"I can't allow you to kill her, Chris!" Leon scowled at him. "She's a key witness, we need her."
"I don't care!" Chris snarled. "She tried to kill us just like the other one and she'll die like the other one too!"
"Other one?" Leon asked, wondering how much Chris knew.
"Yeah, that bitch twin of hers died on the ship."
"You killed her?" Leon asked confused as he'd seen both Ada's a little while ago.
"It wasn't me, though I wished I had!" he snarled. "It was..."
"Simmons," Carla helped him out.
"Shut up!" Chris snapped at her as he looked around Leon.
"Chris, please, take it easy." Jill tried to calm him.
"No, Jill, she has to..."
"Captain!" Piers now yelled as Carla somersaulted right over him to then kick him back into the approaching pair.
"Sorry, boys, gotta run." Carla smirked as she now grappled her way to the floor to then quickly head out.
It would seem she hadn't been able to lose them after all, but no matter they'd now get to witness Simmons' true form.
"Damn it!" Piers scowled at letting himself get caught off guard like that.
"Get outta my way, Leon!" Chris yelled in his face.
"Chris, stop this!" Jill scolded him, it was quiet rare for the woman to ever lose her temper.
"I'll find that woman and I'll..." he vowed.
"I lost seventy thousand people and the President all thanks to Simmons!" Leon now snapped back at him. "Yeah, I know you both had it pretty hard. But I have too!"
"The President's dead?" Jill turned to look at him.
"I shot him," Leon told them as he lowered his head and turned away.
"He was infected," Helena quickly got in. "Simmons made..."
"Helena," Leon stopped her with a shake of his head.
"Chris," Jill now looked to him calmly once again.
"Alright," he now sighed heavily. "We'll go after Ada..."
"Carla," Leon corrected him.
"I don't care what her fucking name is," Chris scowled, seriously wanting to make her pay for her stupid games. "We'll go after Carla..."
Leon nodded.
"...and bring that bitch in for questioning."
"I knew I could count on you," Leon pat him on the shoulder, but Chris shrugged him off disgusted like.
"It would have been better to put her down too," Chris glared at him.
"I know, but Simmons is our real enemy here." Leon reminded him.
Chris just gave him a hard look before turning to look at Piers.
"Why are you still standing there, soldier?" he frowned. "We've got a woman to find!"
"Yes, Captain!" Piers nodded.
Jill was now getting ready to follow them on before turning towards Leon.
"I'll not let anything happen," she reassured him. "I won't see Chris lose himself to something like this."
"Thank you," Leon nodded. "If anyone can do it, it'll be you."
She gave a nod then followed the pair on.
xXx
Getting side tracked was not something that happened very often with Ada, it had to be rather serious for her to part ways from her current mission, and right now this just so happened to be something intriguing. Getting down on one knee, she aimed her newly acquired sniper rifle down over the docks until skimming over a young blonde as she jumped onto a large raft. She turned the dial on the scope so that it zoomed in on the young woman's face before moving onto the young man with her and also:
"Claire," she now frowned.
She didn't hate the woman in the least, she just hated how she'd managed to make her talk openly with her over the few months they'd been together. She couldn't say she'd enjoyed spending time with her, but she definitely couldn't say she hadn't not liked it. It was good to have some company for a change.
At the familiar sound of a chainsaw, Ada lowered her aim to now see the chainsaw B.O.W. she thought she'd seen the very last off. She sighed as she wrapped her finger around the trigger once the things head came into contact with the cross hairs.
"Poor little Sherry, how the monsters love to chase you."
Now pulling the trigger, half of the things head exploded in a spray of blood and possibly bits of brain if it still had any.
"Did you do that?" Jake asked as he looked to Sherry.
"No," she told him.
"You?" he asked turning to Claire.
"Not me," she replied with a shake of her head before looking round.
Whoever it was they were either long gone or just hiding.
"Alright, let's get this thing started up." Claire now walked over to take the wheel as Jake got the motor running.
Claire started spinning the wheel to steer them away from the dock just as the chainsaw B.O.W. now stood once again.
"You just won't stay dead will you?" Ada sighed as she followed the trio down the river.
"Look out!" Sherry pointed as the thing jumped onto their raft.
"Why won't this thing just die?" Jake scowled as he ducked the things chainsaw.
Sherry unloaded her pistol into the thing, while Claire had the difficult job of steering them around things she couldn't see as the pair fought off the B.O.W.
"End of the line," she warned as the way ahead was blocked.
They'd have to use the walkway with the large neon sign to hopefully get a head start on the chainsaw B.O.W. as thankfully there was another raft waiting on the other side. However, it wouldn't be easy as more of those J'avo now sprang out at them. Jake was a little surprised to look up and see flying Pterodactyl creatures now.
"Above us!" he pointed to the others as the things in the sky screeched before dive bombing them.
These creatures had razor sharp beaks, and if that wasn't enough they were lined inside with a row of razor sharp teeth. They also came with three eyes on each side of their head along with bony spikes protruding from the claws on the wings and feet.
"Never been bird hunting before, never wanted to." Claire frowned as she raised her gun to shoot the creatures out of the sky.
All they needed now was a giant alligator or crocodile to jump out of the water, just like the one found in the sewers when Claire was looking for Sherry. Chris had also told her there were large crocodiles he had to dodge while on a small raft, as well as also watching out for them as he and Sheva crossed a flooded swamp. So yeah, the pair had both had their share of facing off against large reptiles.
oOo
Ada was now jumping on a stack of metal beams held in the air by a crane. She made it to the edge to now look down on the three, who were making short work of the Pterodactyl's. The J'avo on the walkway were quite a challenge as they also had to watch out for the chainsaw B.O.W.
"Let's even the odds a little, shall we?" she smiled as she got down on one knee to aim the sniper rifle over the J'avo on the walkway.
oOo
A gun shot rang out behind Sherry, followed shortly after by another and then another. Sherry was now dodging mutated J'avo and bullets from afar now.
"Someone's shooting at us!" she warned them.
"Not shooting at us!" Jake shouted back over all the noise. "Helping us!"
Claire just barely managed to duck under the chainsaw as it was now brought down on one of the J'avo. Once again she couldn't boast to Chris about it as he'd been against infected Majini wielding chainsaws before her, and it wasn't like Chris could boast either as Leon had dealt with chainsaw wielding maniacs before the pair.
"Possibly her brother and his pals!" Jake scowled.
"If it was Chris, he'd be here personally." Claire told him as she kicked a badly mutated J'avo away from her before shooting him in the head.
"Then we've got ourselves a guardian angel, how nice." He thought sarcastically.
oOo
"Guardian angel, bodyguard, someone's personal desire." Ada thought smugly as she now lined up her next shot. "What next will I be?"
Upon pulling the trigger and having another part of its head blown off, the chainsaw B.O.W. was now sent sprawling back into the neon sign once again, taking itself and the sign into the water.
"Hopefully that's the last of you," she thought as she now planned on heading on.
oOo
"Wasn't that helpful of whoever that was," Jake now looked around with his hands on his hips. "Whoever you are we owe you!"
"Come on, Jake!" Sherry grabbed his arm to the then pull him over to the sign to climb down to get to the next raft.
He quickly started up the motor as Sherry took the wheel just as Claire now dropped on with them.
"I sure hope that things dead," Claire sighed.
"It's been fucking chaos out here!" Jake scowled.
Sherry quickly turned the wheel to avoid a collison, but felt something hit the back of the raft.
"What was that?" Claire asked as she stepped over to see.
"There's something in the water," Sherry now pointed.
"Where?" Jake asked, turning to see where she was pointing.
"There," she told him.
"You seeing things?" he asked.
"No, there's a light. Look there!"
Claire walked over to have a look as well.
"You see anything?" he asked.
Claire shook her head.
"Look I know what I saw alright," Sherry huffed. "Doesn't matter anyway, we can get off here."
She pulled the raft over to the docks. Claire jumped off first followed by Jake, who now turned back to give her a hand.
"Worst boat ride than the Titanic," he frowned.
"Didn't know you were old enough for that," Claire jabbed at him.
"Ha ha, real funny." He scowled at her just as something jumped from the water to break the pair apart.
"Sherry!" Claire yelled as the chainsaw thing was back once again.
"Hang on, Sherry!" Jake shouted, now worried as she was backing up to the end of the raft which was now heading right for a downed helicopter, which still had the blades rotating.
"Sherry, watch out!" Claire screamed as she was now dangerously close to getting sliced up.
No matter how much she could heal there was just no way of coming back from that. Even as the pair unloaded their guns into the thing, it still pushed Sherry further and further back until...
