Claire
She moved with haste knowing there wasn't a lot of time. Shit was hitting the the mall. She could see shooting breaking out and there were infected and the BSAA team members plus the survivors everywhere. She ran past several C virus zombies. She clubbed a male Caucasian zombie in the face that was in her way but she did not slow beyond that. She ran forward as she saw Chris and Jill make their way into a bathroom. She'd seen a red haired male that everybody seemed to be against go in there. She saw the redhaired male emerge from the bathroom clutching a shoulder wound.
She felt her blood freeze as she saw the tyrant on its way. She could hear gunshots inside and she ran forward despite the danger, she couldn't let Chris be killed. She wouldn't. She readied the shotgun.
She got there in time but saw that Erebus was after them. Chris, Jill and Jessica let off round after round and with the enclosed space they barely had anywhere to run. Claire could hear the sound of water and she saw it on the floor as though it had been flooded in there. A sink had been destroyed by a sweep from the tyrant and water was everywhere. Claire saw Chris clutching a nasty gash on his right forearm as Jill and Jessica bought him some time pumping round after round into the relentless thing.
Claire stuck the shotgun around teh corner and fired striking it between its broad shoulders. It turned as she flet it have another one. "Claire...!" Chris cried out and she cried out, "Come on!" Erebus pursued her now, knowing she had it sandwiched between hersel;f and Jill and Jessica. She would have expected the thing might try and go after them due to there beinn two in front and one in the back but Erebus seemed able to reason like a person and know that what was behind you was worse. Plus what the shotgun lacked in an Assault Rifles quantity it more than made up for in volume.
The tyrant swung and with a tremendous demonstration of strength, smashed through the corner and the debris it kicked up alarmed her and she backed away but she fell back in a panic. As it came out, however, Rebecca let it have a few rounds from her Handgumn despite struggling with a carrier similar to that of the island, she fired four rounds and used her combat knife to stab the Remenant in the forehead.
Kiya came down firing a burst from her own Assault Rifle after she had just finished a Hunter off. Erebus came after her hard swiping at her and it got the right side of her left leg and she cried out in agony falling back even as her sloppier rounds still landed in the things sternum. Dayva bought her some time with some rounds to the back of the head. "Five minutes!" Cried out Agent Okwari.
"We really need to haul ass, Chris!" Barry alerted his best friend. Steve emerged again and he took down twenty of the infected including two Lickers in a flash of speed. He spotted Landsale retreating. "Oh god no! We cannot let that bastard escape!" Josh cried and he took a burst odf rounds from the new MP5 he nursed as he hit the older man in the back. Landsale emerged at the top of the stairs. He then retreated again in another flash of speed and with a burst of both that and strength, he crashed into one of the barricaded doors. "You've introduced explosives to deal with all the infected. I taught all of you well! But you still do not have every angle covered!"
He focused and suddenly the divided carriers in one area who were focused more on Theresa who was holding them back with Moira, barreled past them and went after Josh and Sheva. Forty were going forthem at once. Thurston and Kateri did what they could to help them but they had a distance of about fifty yards between their positions.
Elias fired a barrage before reloading and Keith and Quint divided themselves with Quint going to help Josh and Sheva while Kieth went to help Chris. Morgan emerged from the mall and the opening in the entrace and the gunfire drew more of the infected from outside the mall towards them. Theresa had a few gashes from her left arm and er right elbow. Steve growled, "I'm gonna make sure that asshole doesn't escape!"
"Steve!" Cried Claire. He insisted, "I got this!'
Erebus swung at Kiya and its claws raked her right ribcage. She bought Chris enough time to reload. She coughed up blood as she fell. "This thing...it killed more...too many of our...fuckin teammates...Captain..." Quint and Kieth were able to get her to her feet. Dayva unloaded her magazine into the back of its neck and head. With a single swipe, her right side of her face bled from a gash and she fell over losing blood at a quick rate.
"DAYVA!" Barry cried out. She fell forward in a pool of her own dark red blood laying there twitching. "FUCK!" Claire and Moira unloaded on the thing as did he. Montoyo fell bludgeoned and battered beneath a horde of Revenants. Elias and Kateri were trying to fight them off manually since they were between magazines . Claire hadn't even seen the Mexican American agent fall but she knew that often happened in battle. Somebody would be killed by something not only they didn't see but you yourself didn't
"This is such fuckin bullshit!" Cried Quint. "There's more than enoygh of us! We should be able to handle all these assholes!"
"Four minutes!" Jill yelled as she and Chris began to make their way to the exit. "We need to come up with a plan here!" Theresa cried. "I don't think I'm gonna make it but if we don't none of us will!"
"Goddamn it, Okwari why the fuck did you rig it to a timer?!" Barry demanded.
"I didn't have a choice! We don't have the other kind of detonator we make do with what we got! And we aint got much, sister! Except that!"
They hustled through the mall. "Let's get rid of these things! All of em!" Barry screamed. He let off a barrage at the Erebus tyrant and hit it in the face and chest. He fired at the things face keeping his targeting consistent. "YOU UGLY FREAK! YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY TEAM!" Claire managed to find some ammunition for the shotgun, a box of 12 gauge rounds dropped by a survivor. There was only six of them but it was better than nothing.
She fired striking the creature first from the back with the blast tearing into the right shoulder. The next hit it in the back of the skull but it was already turning at lightning speed. It raked the side of her right arm and her hip. She cried out falling back but she managed to get the weapon with her even as she backed away staining the floor with her fresh blood. She whimpered in fear but Barry kept his assault on the thing. Chris and Sheva managed to get closer at about fifty yards after having mowed down more of the Remnant creatures.
Elias managed to let off multiple rounds. Thurston emerged with a rocket launcher. "From the supply drop! HQ came through for us!"
He fell crying out in pain as a hatchet hit him in the back from behind. He ripped the hatchet out and grunted just as the carrier was trying to grab him by the throat. He cleaved his face in two and split his nose apart and the dark wine red blood sprayed everywhere. "Fuck...! I got an ax in the fuckin back! This must be what my ancestors fwlt like in Normandy..."
"Your family was at D Day? Mine too. Funny thing I had my grandpa at Omaha Beach and his cousin was at Juno. The Germans weren't using axes."
'Not that fight, mate! I'm talking about the Norman Invasion!"
Elias got a first aid pack from his backpack. He used it on the wounds. "You shouldn't have pulled the blade out! Just sit still and don't talk."
"Right...easiest fuckin thing in the world..." Thurston closed his eyes and Kateri got to him and checked his pulse. "I'm still alive, love...I just need a vacation..."
Josh snatched up the rocket launcher. "GET CLEAR!" He warned. Barry and Claire were both engaging the beheamoth tyrant and they saw Josh in their peripheral vision.
He fired at the creature as they got clear. The rocket exploded on contact and inside the Southcenter Mall for a brief moment it was though a nuchlear bomb had erupted. The creature's top half came apart. It's right arm was barely hanging on with muscle and dendon exposes the very sinews exposed to the air were scorched by the warmth of the brand new flames licking its wounds.
The bottom half of the front of the skull was also missing as the jaw had been blown apart. The left arm was just a stump bloodied and burning with part of the wound semi cauterized by the flames while the rest was fresh and raw naked against the air and smoke rising up. Ten C virus zombies and a few of the Revevant creatures had also been caught in the blast radius. The thing dropped to one knee but it didn't fill Claire with much confidence. She had seen weaker tyrants than that blown apart by rocket launchers.
Even Mr X who had been a constant threat in Raccoon City was finally destroyed by the same kind of weaponn. Its right knee was hamburger and pieces of the femur and tibia were exposed through the open wounds. In its chest and stomach was a hole about the size of a fully grown cat.
Josh reloaded the rocket. "I'm not taking a chance with this thing!" He was about to fire when he was ambushed from behind and sent forward by twenty feet. Morgan Lansdale was back with a smirk. Chris, Sheva, Barry, Jill, Rebecca, Jessica, Quint and Keith fired after the the man forcing him to speed and dodge their rounds but the ambush of the BSAA team was too many to avoid all the rounds.
Morgan grabbed Josh who was breathing hard and writhing in pain trying to catch his breath. He wanted to get to the rocket launcher but was in too great of agony. Claire ran for it however and grabbed it and went to aim at Landsale but to her dismay he was not there. He threw a hard left punch to her abdomen appearing out of nowere.
She dropped to her knees and the rpg landed in his arns. He handed it to a sentient C Virus J'avo. The BOW took aim at the eight person attack team and fired towards them. They saw it coming but the blast sent them flying even as they tried to get away. Claire peered over the balcony to look below. They were all alive but all had been stunned by the blast.
Morgan grabbed Claire by the thrioat and she fired one shot from the Magnum into his face but he moved at the last second and it only grazed the right of his cheek. As he bled, unfazed by it, he lifted her up in the air and she dropped her magnum trying to grasp at his fingers but they were like iron. "Ggg..." She rasped against his grip.
"After all those years in the highest security prison. No natural sunlight. Because of YOU Agent Redfield! I read yor sisters file once! She was incarcerated at Rockfort Island. Tell me, Claire did they keep you at a place with no natural sunlight? Because that is where your brother put me."
"Your fights with me, Landdale! Let her go!"
"That's what you'd want! Even the agonizing death I have in store for yo would be like heaven so long as I spared your sweet little sister. All those years I imagined what I would do to you if I ever got free. I lost some of the ideas I had. Time is different in a place like Florence Colorado Supermax, you see...you put me in a place filled with terrorists and prison gang leaders. And I was broken. But I've had so many ideas of how to get revenge. And while it wasn't my plan...I suppose gutting your sister in front of you while you can do nothing but watch is a start!"
He went to claw her throat ot but a hand grabbed his and Claire fell gasping and wheezinf for air. Steve tackled the older man and the two egan exchanging blows at a rate too fast for either to see bt they sped around the mall ion a tornado of fists and in their chaos several more zombies were caught up in their sweep.
Chris and the others got up and Chris hobbled to his feet to try and get to his sister. "Get outta here!" Steve warned. "PLACE IS GONNA BLOW!" He warned.
"We got a minute and thirty to get the fuck out!" Bellowed Elias over the intercom. "Whether these BOW fuckers all blow up in here or not the mall is going up! Haul ass!" Theey all began tol sprint and they carried their wounded out as fast as they can. Claire had never run so hard in her life. "Steve...!" Claire cried looking back as she saw Steve and Lansdale still a blur in the distance as they put a good amount of distance between themseles and the mall.
There was twenty two seconds left as she was looking back at the blurs of speed inside and she couldn't see all of what was going on but she could see that Steve was trying to keep Morgan inside the mall.
"STEVE!" She cried as they got outside.
The blast still knocked everybody down and glass from windows flew everywhere for miles. Scores more of the infected in the parking lots were obliterated by the blast as well as any inside.
Chris called out, "He's ight there!"
Steve was covered in debris and dust and barely recognizable even copmpared to when she had first seen him after so many years. He was bloodied from lying glass as well as the wounds sustained from Morgan. Dizy, she ran to his side. "Steve..."
"I'm ll right...but he...got away...I coldn't beat him...Claire...can yopu pull that glass out of my chest...please..."
"ut you..."
"I won't die. I'm not human anymore...It'll hurt like hell but I'll heal..." Her blue eyes were full of uncertainty.
He looked to her. "Just trust me..."
She sighed and did as he asked and he bled and cried out in pain but sure enough his wounds slowly healed.
"We did it..." Kateri said. "We at least took out the mall;...the airports gone and the mall is too...that's at least two major sources of infected down..."
"That's no good if Landsale escaped..." Elias said with a sigh.
"We'll get thatson of a bitch..." Sheva promised. Jessica was still distraught over the death of Parker. Elias and Kateri were distraught over Dayva.
"I have to find Alex..." Barry stated.
Claire turned to him. "We haven't had much time to catch up. What exactly happened?"
"Somehow...Alex Wesker is in Natalia's body. She...it was what I was afraid of. When the four of us got off that island I thought we were lucky. I knew that sick bitch wanted to control her body but I thought we stopped her. Now...she's going to force me to kill her...or to let her go. One option kills millions. The other would kill Natalia. Which would kill me..."
Moira leaned in to her father. "We'll find a way to cure her. We have to. We've come this far. But if worst comes to worst...you thought you lost me. You almost lost Polly because of me. First we didn't talk for years and then you thought I died and I thought I'd never see you again. We both faced that loss and we still survived. I don't want to kill Natalia but she knew what Alex was. If it came down to what she would want...I think she'd want us to stop Alex."
He looked down as the helicopters started to swarm in and more BSAA agents were dropping to deal with the rest of the stragglers. They were all going to be evacuated but for the BSAA the mission was far from over. But it was for all the survivors of the worst the mall had to offer. The remaining survivors were being checked on by BSAA medics before being prepped for evacuation.
Steve pulled Claire to him. He brushed a strand of hair aside and kissed her. Her blue eyes widened as she felt his lips on her but she did not resist and she kissed him back. She chuckled. "Not exactl the most romantic place for that."
He admitted, "I've been waiting since December of '98 to do that. When you were on the plane I uh...almost did that while you were asleep..." He was like a teenager again and he suddenly became very sheepish and she could tell he was embarassed to have admitted that. "If you had when I was asleep I would have slapped you. But if you had when I was awake..well...maybe there was a better way than fire we could have kept each other warm..." She teased.
She could see him blush and then it was like he was a kid again even more. He didn't look older than seventeen by way of his skin. He would have looked that age still if it wasn't for the scars that he had on his face, plus the change in haircut, the way his eyes looked much older than seventeen since he was but really he was older than that because he hadn't just woken up this year. He hadn't been alive in 2002.
His voice was deeper too unlike the whiny voice she had remembered. "That was what I thought when you landed on me jumping out of the plane. You could have landed on me in a way that wasn't that intimate but you didnt."
"You wish..." She teased like she was nineteen again meeting him for the first time. "But you also could have caught me in a way that wasn't romantic. Plus you put my arms arond my back. Nice touch."
"You stayed on top of me a few seconds longer than a platonic friend would."
She giggled a bit embarassed herself. "It was cold."
Leon
The DSO agent removed his combat knife from the back of the head of an infected Anubis member. "I see the way you look at me..." Saladin stated. As he looked at the Nineveh Swat team members. "And the way they look at me. But the difference between me and Al Mahseh is that all the brothers that fight under me are still human beings."
"You are not a human being..." Sneered a younger Swat member. "You are demons. Of the lowest kind. When we are done with Al Mahseh we will deal with you next."
"A date with death in Sumeria?" Smirked Saladin. "I look forward to it."
With that, his soldiers began to fire upon the survivors. Leon took an Anubis soldier out with two shots to the neck but no sooner did he drop when another took his place. Ada kept her distance having found a good vantage point at thehtop of yet another mosque that gave her a clear line of sight. Leon, Ark, Helena, Sherry and Jake all laid down heavy fire on the insurgents. Ark dropped two that were infected Anubis members. Jack and Al Hijaaj and Jamal fired their Handguns into Al Mahseh. Even Saladin unloaded into him with his Kalishnikov. The man coughed blood falling backwards.
Ada spotted a syringe in his hand and figured he was going to try and inject himself. She fired destroying his right hand and the syringe. She spotted Anubis agents coming in Humvees with .50 mounted on them. They were already firing and two Anubis soldiers that were under Saladin were killed instantly.
"How the hell could they all know you're on our side at once? Or where to go?! There's been shootings all over this city!"
Coughing up blood from the numerous wounds in his chest, Al Mahseh grinned with bloody teeth. A minute ago hecould not talk at all as both lungs had rounds in them but the rounds disintegrated after he pushed them out of his lungs. His wounds began to slowly heal. "Your...woman up theere...on top of the mosque...she was right to shoot my hand..she knew I was about to inject myself with the virus. What she did not know...is that I already did..."
He stood up with a growl and let out an ear piercing scream that reminded Leon of the BOW's back in Tall Oaks who had made a similar Anubis agents were coming. "They know to be loyal to me and not Saladin because he is a traitor unfit to have such a noble name..." He chuckled. "But the ones who carry this virus? They are like beasts. They must be guided. I am the only one fit to guide them."
"Call it what you want, asshole!" Jake growled as he fired a shot from the Einfield into his stomach and aimed next at his head. "It's mind control!"
He began to spit the rounds back at them that they had fired and two more of Saladin's men fell from fatal wounds and Jamal was also hit in the right thigh with three rounds one of which was Jake's Einfield shot. "That's where you are wrong, kaffir. I do not serve myself nor do i seek to be a God among men. I serve Allah. This virus allows us to win our holy war. I am in complete comtrol."
He then sped up to Jake hitting him hard in the chest with a strike. The red haired male sailed backwards hitting his back hard and was winded. Sherry took an AK from one of the fallen Anubis soldiers and began to unload. He dodged most of teh rounds and wwas behind her in an instant and kicked her in the right ribcage. She fell but Leon let off multiple rounds hitting Al Mahseh in the back.
They began to retreat as the firing started but Warner was shredded in an instant with rounds in the back as he tried to run. Three members of the Niniveh
Helena cried out, "Guys! We gotta run! The .50's are here!" Swat Team went down with him. Ada aimed for the man on the gun. With a pull of the trigger his face vanished in pink mist but a parasite began to show itself as the carrier fell off the side of the vehicle and began to mutate.
She fired another shot as it began to crystalize in its form. Leon spotted a dropped M4 Spectre on the ground. A deceased UN agent had been using it. He began to fire on Al Mahseh. Hassan fired from across the street striking the man in the back. Ark had somehow managed to retrieve a shotgun in all the madness but Leon figured with all the dead soldiers on both sides, there was bound to be ample dropped weapons.
He fired the Spas 12 hitting the handless Anubis agent in the same arm with two blasts as the man was ripping out one of Saladin's men's guts. "APOSTATE!' He growled in a demonic voice one would expect out of a horror movie. His arm began to regenerate however slowly. Helena laid into him with rounds from an AK-101 she had recovered. Jake was grabbed by a Djinn and flung to the ground and he hit the ground hard. He got up however and kicked the left leg out from under him and jammed the barrel against thee man's face and proceeded to bludgeon him again and again.
More infected Anubis members as well as infected jackals came running towards them. Ada was frantically trying to pick them off best as she could and was firing with the same speed and accuracy as Jackson, the Sniper from Saving Private Ryan and she felt the same as his character must have in that moment a sense of calm but also impending doom. She reloaded and kept firing taking out a woman of Kurdish descent with a shot to the right side of the neck standing at 5'3 weighing 110 lbs.
Al Mahseh picked up a Toyota one handed as Leon filled him with more slugs. "I'm sick of this mission!" Growled the Irish American.
"It's almost over..." Hissed Mahseh. "But your relief won't be the missions end. I'm going to kill all your friends in front of you Agent Kennedy. Your only relief will be death."
"Better assholes than you have tried!" Leon growled.
Ark lettwo shotgun blasts ring out hitting the Anubis leader in the back. "I can vouch for that! Should have met his old partner Krauser! You couldn't ask for a bigger fuckin prick! You should have let me put a bullet in his head the first day I met him! Before he could get infected."
The Anubis leader had dropped the Toyota due to the interception by Leon and Ark and its alarm was blaring from not only being picked up but also dropped. Saladin loyalists fired.
"We got bigger fish to fry!" Leon cried out.
Ada got to a vantage point following the fight as it moved. In Leon's ear she assured him, "Don't worry. I got you covered."
She fired striking Al Mahseh in the back. He picked the Toyota up again and a round found its way through the engine block but it didn't matter to him. "I will unleash the will of Allah on all of you! I am the kalifa! God's agent on Earth! I have been chosen."
"Messenger of God? You should have shot higher up the food chain, pal!" Jake cried out as he fired a round into Al Mahseh's gut. "My dad was Albert Wesker! Why be an angel of God when you can be a God?"
"WESKER WAS A BLASPHEMOUS GODLESS INFIDEL! AGENT REDFIELD'S HAND IN KILLING HIM WAS ORCHESTRATED BY ALLAH!" Roared Mahseh as he tok the Toyota and started to run in a circle of high speed taking up a lot of room in the road and he ran over members of Anuis both free minded and carriers and his own men as well as Saladin's and sent them flying. Al Hijaaj hit the ground hard too as he was sent flying twenty five feet. The Arab CIA agent writhed in great agony on the ground, his left arm shattered and his left leg was dislocated and broken but somehow no compound fracture.
"HIS MIRACLE OF SCIENCE WAS USED FOR HIS OWN SELFISH GAIN! I DO NOT WISH TO TURN THE ENTIRE WORLD. THOSE WHO WORSHIP ALLAH OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL MAY DO SO WITOUT THE C VIRUS. BUT ALLAH HAS TAKEN CONTROL OF THE VIRUS. THAT IS WHERE HE IS DIFFERENT. WESKER SIMPLY WANTED TO RULE THE CHAOS. WITH ME, I CAN CONTROL THESE BEASTS EVERY ONE OF THEM! WESKER EITHER COULDN'T OR DIDN'T AND THAT IS ANOTHER REASON HE FAILED!"
"Pretty sure the majinis were under his control!" Jake retorted just before he was hit by the bumper.
"I DON'T DESIRE TO BE GOD! I AM BORN SAME AS OTHERS! ALLAH BEGETS NOT NOR IS HE BEGAT!"
"And what the hell makes you think you can control these things! You know who i am! You know who my dad was! You know they can't be controlled!"
"You know the quran has a lot of the bible in it..." Finally with a huff, Al Mahseh was talking normal but he had his face covering over his face but he was shirtless. "In Genesis 1:26 it says God gave man dominion over the creatures of the Earth. Those things...the Lickers, the Hunters, even the dogs? They are animals. They have to be talked to in their own language. This allows me to do that."
He resumed with th running but this time he threw it. Ada's instincts had kicked in as he was winding himself up again and she proceeded to use her hookshot to get off the roof but the shockforce of the truck hitting the side of the building and eploding knocked her off balance as she was midair with the shot rapelling to another building. Flaming debris kissed at her neck behind her and before she knew it she had landed insidse somebody's apartment om th balcont
Ada lay bloodid covered in broken glass. Leon saw her go down. "Shit...Ada's in trouble. I have to help her!"
"Leon, WE need you!" Cried Sherry.
"She was our sniper! I gotta help!"
Carlos's team opened fire on Al Mahseh and he dropped the picked up Range Rover. He fired into the back and stomach of the man.
Carlos fired a shot to the temple on the left side hitting the Anubis leader and his skull and brain matter exploded from the exit wound. He began to regenerate however.
Peter fired his Assault Rifle into the back of the Anubis leader and Carlos yelled, "FRAG OUT!" He pulled the pin and he tossed the grenade hit the creature. "We can't let this guy loose among civilians! We gotta bring him down or die trying!" Cried Yoko as she fired a blast from the mounted grenade launcher.
The Arabic translator turned to Carlos. "Captain! Did you hear HQ? They just said they deployed five more teams to help!"
Al Mahseh hissed, "YOU THINK I HAVE LOST CONTROL?! I HAVE FULL CONTROL! I SEE YOUR COWARDLY CRUSADER ARMY RAINING FROM THE SKY! DON'T YOU GET TIRED OF OCCUPYING TERRITORY YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY HOLD?!"
"Hey asshole! You got a point! America has invaded a lot of countries!But you have extremist interpretations of your religion and believe it's your job to spread the Caliphate across the world. So how are you any different than Americans?" Jack Warner demanded as he fired an MP5 into Mahseh's back.
"YOU HAVE SIXTY MORE INFIDELS! I HAVE ONE THOUSAND HOLY WARRIORS ON THE WAY."
"Fuck! There's hundreds of them! I'm calling in an air strike. We have no choice!"
Leon made his way to Ada. He waded through hordes of zombies. He got to where she had fallen. Her shoulders revealed more scars. He had known her scars before but these were to be new ones. He grabbed her checking t make sure she wasn't injured in any vital areas but she had lost consciousness. He grabbed her grapple gun and held her as tightly as he could over his shoulder. He rappelled them out f the tower just as twenty Anubis who were infected burst in.
Mahseh surfaced near him. Leon narrowly dodged as it sent one of its limbs towards him but he felt a jab near his right ribcage as he fell over. Leon's landing to the ground came with agony but beyond what Mahseh had done, he was unharmed other than this.
Kruger and Lars let a burst of rounds to thin out some of the herd but Lars cried out, "Shit! There's Hunters approaching our nine o'clock!" She took notice but then also noticed something. "Lickers at three!" Carlos fired. He struck the first Hunter he saw. "We don't have time for this, guys! We need to finish off Mahseh!"
"Agreed!" Peter shouted. "I don't give a shit if it's the DSO, CIA or us who finishes him off!"
Leon carried Ada and he rapelled them onto a roof to evade them. A Tomahawk began to unload on the infected and managed to destroy four of the Lickers. Next to them were corpses, about three dozen laid low by the .50 aboard the bird. Another twenty were incapacitated and growled with a rage. Ark and Helen and Jake and Sherry unloaded a barrage into Al Mahseh. Mahseh had transformed into a beast resembling that of when he and Helena had fought Simmons on the subway.
"Be careful! He can deflect rounds in this form!" Warned Helena.
The quadruped charged at them. Ark and Helena and Sherry and Jake pumped round after round at him. The creature crashed through and ripped apart three of Saladin's men with ease and began spitting the live rounds back at the Anubis members on his side as well as the Nineveh Swat members. Two of them were shredded by the rounds exploding back at them in a storm. A Kurdish man with a scraggily brown beard and hazel eyes standing at five eight with a scrawny frame wearing body armor was hit with ten rounds and fell.
Fatima was hit with multiple rounds herself. They hit her vest which protected her but she had internal bleeding. Al Mahseh knocked into her sending her flying. The translator hit the side of an autobus. She fell to the ground coughing blood up. "Fatima! Hang on!" Carlos cried out. She got to her feet weakly. She screamed as one of the C virus zombies sunk its teeth into the side of her neck. "Shit! Hold on!" Carlos cried.
"They air dropped more supplies! There should be some of the vaccine! It won't stop an infection from a C Virus Djinn but it'll protect her from the bite of a zombie. We're fresh out but she has time! You two go after it!" Oliveira ordered. "Take Peter with you!" Yoko and Peter ran engaging hostiles to cut through the crowd. "Agent Suzuki! Do you see the supply drop?"
"Affirmative, Captain! We're just a hundred yards away!"
Carlos turned to Lars and Fatima. "I've gotta help those two...there's more of those things than we thought. You two hold the line here. Fatima, can you still shoot?" She nodded as Carlos and Peter used a first aid spray on her wounds. "Just hang in there!"
He turned to Lars. "You got at least four mags and two frags keep her safe until we get back."
Carlos ran to engage the quadruped as the thing ran between buildings. The DSO, BSAA the Swat Team and Saladin's loyalists were all trying to engage Al Mahseh while also trying to hold off the undead.
"DO YOU LIKE MY PETS?! AMERICANS USUALLY LOVE DOGS. THE QURAN SAYS THAT AN ANGEL WILL NOT ENTER A HOUSE FILLED WITH FLEAS. BUT FOR INFIDEL SWINE LIKE YOU, THEY ARE PERFECT. THE ONLY ANIMAL LESSER THAN A DOG IS A PIG."
"Not all dogs have fleas, you fuckin idiot!" Ark barked as he reloaded. He had taken a round in the left leg. "You're looking like a flea about now! You sure as hell aint human!"
Carlos and Peter and Yoko made their way to the crates. He fired a burst from the M4. He found more ammunition for the G36. Yoko went through the medical supplies and found a first aid kit that had a vaccine in it. "What about the rest of this shit, Captain?" Demanded Peter Otistoko.
"We gotta leave it for now we can double back for it!"
"I don't want this winding up in the hands of these terrorist's cocksuckers."
"You want to make sure they don't it's your call. I gotta get this back to Fatima!"
Lars, meanwhile was keeping the creatures back. He had an FN Scar and he let a burst of twenty rounds. He dropped four Anubis Djinn and from their legs up to their hips each were hit but the bleeding was enough to neutralize them as he hit their arteries.
"Carlos...please come back..." Fatima cried out. Lars checked her skin. She was feverish. "Captain what's your status?" Called Lars.
"We're on our way! Coming in hot! Otsistoko is behind watching out for our supply drop. How is Fatima?"
"She's burning up, Captain..."
"I'm fine..." She whispered.
"She's not conscious..." Lars rasped. "I'm going to try CPR!"
Fatima looked at the Norwegian Agent in confusion. "What...I'm not..." He put a hand over her mouth. She widened her eyes in surprise and then began to stand on the wounded woman's chest and neck. "Lars, be careful! If she's not conscious she might turn soon! I'm gonna try and get this to her we're twenty five yards out. Is she breathing?"
Lars stomped on the wounded translator earning a cry of agony from her but he stepped on her chest to silence it. "She's one of them, Captain!" I...!" He cried out. He then began to bludgeon her face with the rifle. "Lars! Come in, Lars!" Carlos called out. "Anybody have a visual on Lars and Fatima?!"
"Negative, Captain. Wait I think I see Lars!"
He cracked her head open with a second blow. She cried out in pain but could not stop him. He then staggered back just as Carlos and Suzuki emerged. He fired a three round burst into her face. They made their way over to him. Lars showed them the fresh wound, a bite wound on his right wrist that he had sustained frm one of the zombies.
He took his service pistol out. He saw Yoko in his peripheral. "God...what have I done...?!" He put the handgun to his forehead. "LARS!" Called Yoko from the distance. He looked at her with tears in his eyes. "Lars, what are you doing?! What happened?!"
"She turned, Captain...she bit me...I have no choice! They're...they're everywhere! I won't turn into one of those things!"
"Jesus!" Carlos cried looking at the wounds Fatima had sustained from her team mate. Yoko stopped him. "Lars! We got the vaccine! Don't pull the trigger!"
She wasted no time injecting Lars.
"She was fine...a minute or two ago. She was talking...and helping me,..but she started to get weak. I told her to...to lay there and I'd take care of us...we thought you were coming back..."
"We did cme back. We just went there for nothing! We go to get her a vaccine and you killed her?!"
"I tried telling you, Captain...I did tell you!"
"That should have been the first thing you said a minute or two ago when she lost consciousness./ You don't just say 'she passed out' asshole!"
"I know!" He sobbed. "That was why I was going to take care of me after her..." Yoko injected him with the vaccine. "There's no point in you both turning. We have t take care of each other!"
Lars stared at Fatima's corpse. Inside, he was smiling.
Carlos made his way to flank Al Mahseh letting a burst of rounds into him. They were all startled by a rpg round striking the side f the BOW. He started to mutate but another hit him. The explosion devoured his flesh already stinking of rotten meat, and hair and fabric and blood. Added to this the smell of his flesh burning and it was almost too much for Leon or Carlos to bear. Leon looked up to see Helena and Ark both carrying RPG'S. The explosion spread and the blast radius expanded and the creature fell writhing and screaming. The two loaded up a warhead each.
"Get clear!" Helena warned all of the survivors. They scrambled to avoid them. The next two rounds exploded and soon Al Mahseh's rotting mutated flesh began to go black from the flames and explosions.
Before long, the rest of the BSAA were on the way. Leon looked through the casualties to see that Jamal, Hijaaj and Warner were all flattened like toothpaste among the ground as a result of the bioweapon attacks. Leon saw Ada finally come to and he had set her down inside an abandoned mosque. "Leon..."
"Hey sleeping beauty. It's over..."
Carlos saw to his team mates being assisted by medics as new BSAA agents arrived to assist. Saladin and most of his men had fled after the battle but the United Nations were sending men in hot after him and the same was true for the BSAA and DSO but for the time being he knew that the man would be like a ghost.
Leon and Ada and Shery and Jake and Helena and Ark were all standing nearby each other. Leon turned to Ada. "I guess this is adios, huh?" He said turning to her.
She was goingg toi be evacuated. "It's see you around..." She said with a smile, her voice soft and weak.
Leon shook his head. "You're not getting rid of me that easily."
He got into the chopper with her and said, "Besides...we still don't know who it is you work for and since you getting banged up didn't have a contingency plan, I'd say you're best sticking with us until you get healed up."
"It's cute when you're concerned, handsome."
Leon suddenly cried out in pain at the feeling of his wound. It was throbbing. "What is it?" She asked.
Leon staggered as his vision went blurry. He growled. Helena and Ark made their way to him. Among the dead bodies that had been a result of the gunfight between the BSAA and DSO against the infected, at least four dozen Anubis agents got to to their feet freshly awakened either as zombies or as Djinn. Helena and Ark switched to their handguns and began to fire as the insurgents came towards them.
Ada was weakened from her own injury. "Leon./...!" She cried out making her way to him. He fell.
Three BSAA agents from among the backup fell as three rounds were fired from the buildings to their east. He saw seven United Nations soldiers hit as well. It seemed like the enemy snipers had at least four sharpshooters.
Jake returned fire with the Einfield at one of the positions he saw a muzzle flash from. A round struck Leon in the place where his wound from the shooting in the Raccoon City sewers had been. He felt his own blood caking the side of his face. He let out a gasp falling to the earth but did not feel the ground.
"I thought we neutralized the fucking threat?!" Cried Helena.
"We're lost in the garden of Eden with no backup!" Cried Ark. "I thought with more BSAA this shit would be over!"
. "Leon!" Sherry cried as she saw the fellow Raccoon City survivor fall.
From the shadows of the sniper's nest, the sniper smiled. In reality, there was two snipers. One was there for Leon. One was there for Carlos. The one there for Leon had already shot him and the Irish American government agent lost consciousness. Ark yelled, "LEON!" Jake and Sherry also cried out only for each of them to be hit in the head.
The older more seasoned sniper tuned to the faster more deadly one. The second sniper was ex special forces. The first, a foreigner to both the United States and Iraq. The first sniper focused on the backup BSAA agents. The second sniper who had hit Leon chuckled. "Too bad you don't have the upgrades I got. I can be in two places at once..." He chuckled firing a shot and struck some of the DSO agents that were there to try and get to Leon, Sherry, Jake and Helena.
The Anubis agents were soon upon Jake and Sherry who were knocked unconscious. Helena and Ark were retreating to the Anubis Djinn grabbed Leon and a bag was thrown over Ada's head before a Kurdish Anubis goon hit Ada in the back of the head with the barrel of his Kalashnikov. The fist sniper frowned. "Carlos has escaped."
"He won't..." Replied sniper number one. "But he's not the only one of the original eleven you wanted, remember? Take Carlos alive instead of dead and you'll get all your ducks in a row."
The first snipe chuckled as the second sped up to different positions from firing. First he fired from a position some twenty five yards from the first then fifty yards from that. This was the benefit to #2 having super human strength and speed. "Be a lot easier for you to do all of the above if you were upghaded."
"I am an old dog who cannot be taught new tricks. I rely on the cunning of the mind rather than strength or speed alone. I played chess all of my life for this very reason. But I would rather be a regular human being even in the business we are in than to not have control."
"Do I strike you as somebody not in control?"
"Viruses always mutate. You are in control now but for how long?"
"It's been over ten years. I still got control."
"In any case we will need most of these people alive to draw out the west. There is currently a BSAA mission wrapping up in the North West in the United States. The BSAA will be sending their exhausted agents here next."
"Your revenge looks like one thing mine looks like another and our bosses look like another."
The second sniper smirked. The first frowned. "It seems like the BSAA are retreating. They cannot hope to deal with the Djinn, the zombies and what remains of the horde Al Mahseh sent after them and our fire. It would seem Carlos has learned from the past and like in the past he is surviving where his team mates are not."
The second sniper was silent this time as the first moved changing positions before picking another shot. "He's going to give me more of a challenge..." The first sniper added grimly.
The second knew what they needed. They needed Leon and Ada alive for now and Chris and Barry and Claire and Jill were also needed for it to be a full house. Their employers felt there had been enough of this war with the BSAA and the survivors of Raccoon City. It was best to get them all together so they could all be done.
Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin would also be instrumental and they would both be better as assets than as enemies.
The first sniper smiled finally. "All of these survivors will make great specimen to better test new strains. They all survived Raccoon City because they have the best survival skills. Everything about their genetics make them ideal to test the new prototypes for a more in control soldier. With abilities like Albert Wesker."
"I knew the guy, Nick. Even with a bunch of children in Project Wesker trust me when I tell ya Albert's one of a kind. And he's not somebody you want to xerox."
"No..." Smirked the older Neo Umbrella assassin. "But that is where Jake Muller will come in handy."
"They escaped..." Replied the second assasin... "They got Leon and Ada. Agent Harper and Thompson are MIA."
"We'll send out a search party. This is nearing the end of the war on terror. The results have been expedited and these survivors you see on the ground are isolated. Patience old friend. You'll get to kill the man and woman you want and I will as well. Jacob Wesker and Sherry Birkin are just a bonus one way or another."
It's a critical solution, and the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you
You got a glass-jawed toothache of a mental disease
And they be running 'round back, see them line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss-ass sycophants, throwing penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch them come in off the streets
While they're banging out front
Inside they're slamming to the crunch
Go on an throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screaming bunch
'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs, they're everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever supposed to learn
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
I read it on a wall, it went straight to my head
It said, "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
We got racial violence, and who'll cast the first stone?
And sex is used any way it can be
Sometimes, when I look out, it's hard to see the day
It's a feeling, you can have it, it's not mine to take away
Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one who's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Suck on that
Looking through this point of view
There's no way I'm gonna fit in
No, you tell me what my eyes see
Don't you tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious, but I know when something's wrong
I've been dragging my heels with a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along
Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
And there's no one who's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden, come on
Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous and out of control
The Garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said, if they had someone to buy it
Said, I'm sure they'd sell my soul
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, we're lost in the Garden of Eden
Said, there's no one who's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the Garden of Eden
This fire is burning, and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock n' roll
Shorter chapter but wanted to get something updated. As far as Leon's injury and his shooting in the same area where he was wounded in RE 2 let's just say that much like Leon getting infected in RE 4 the way Jill was in RE 3 but her infection still played a role in RE 5 you'll see an example of this. Will Leon be back as one of the undead another BOW to be controlled in some way or will he be more like Piers or will he be more akin to somebody like Jake or Sherry or Jill do you think?
INB4 the pussy who is always leaving anonymous reviews we get it you're an incel pretending to be trolled by an anonymous reviewer that you so happened to link to and you spam you shitty stories in flame reviews. Notice how you say my stories and other stories are shit but can't elaborate how? Get a life loser if you had any idea what a good story was you wouldn't have to resort to those tactics. At my most bored I would not do something that retarded. If i don't like a story i just don't read it. You're not interested in discourse or critical construction so how about you go fuck yourself cause nobody else will
The plans that Neo Umbrella has to lure the Raccoon survivors to the middle east will be the focus of upcoming chapters. Trying to figure out how I will tie this into Resident Evil Village which I still didn't play yet. Is it even worth playing for those of you that did play it?'
As far as the name of this chapter it's a reference to the song by Guns N Roses but also the fact that if the bible is true which I don't believe in it but if it was it would mean based on the rivers named i the first book, the garden of Eden would have to be somewhere in Iraq some were talking about how it might e Ethiopia since it mentions Kush but it also mentions rivers that could have only been in Iraq so you can't actually believe in the Out Of Africa theory or Evolution originating from anywhere else for that matter if you also believe in the Garden of Eden story because OOA says Ethiopia. Bible says Iraq. Regardless of what happened people in that part of the world are from Abrahamic faiths like Christian Muslim or Jewish and they all believe in the Garden of Eden even though it says after the fall man can't live there anymore it still gives clues as to where.
If you want to know the exact verse I'm talking about you can just ask and I'll respond to it. I know this chapter wasn't long and a few OC's didn't make it and Leon is down for now you're probably wondering how o if he can survive. All i can say is stay tuned and expect an update later this month on in December
And you'll see an update soon tuned.
