Chapter 2 Welcome to the City of the Dead
(Location: Outside of Raccoon City Police Station Raccoon City Arklay County midwestern USA)
Here was the run down on what Jaune has been through in the last hour. So he was with his friends on the Atlas ship after saving his older sister's home Argus. Then, he was in a very unfamiliar place. It's like he disappeared from where he was and now, he was here. First thing he sees is a gas station, a sign that says "Welcome to Raccoon City" which he has never heard of. He didn't even remembered if there was such a name in the four kingdoms. Okay, so that was the start of his dilemma, not even the icing on the cake. Hears noises coming from the store, sees a wounded man, then a police officer struggling against someone. Here's when it gets worse for the Arc. The person attacked the cop and killed him by biting his neck and ripping some of his flesh. It wasn't human, it wasn't alive anymore. It was a freaking zombie. No matter how many times the blond thinks of it, it was so hard to believe.
It seemed like one horrible nightmare he couldn't wake up. He actually froze up when the zombie was heading his way. That was it, he could have died too if it wasn't for his newest friend to saved him. Together with Claire they killed the zombies that were in the store. As they left they met up with Leon, another cop and they managed to escape the gas station that was filled with zombies. So yeah, it has been one crazy ride for the Arc so far. Too bad it didn't end there. Apparently both thought he was wearing a costume for Halloween. No idea what that meant but things got worse when they arrived to the city. Raccoon City has fell and it was currently under a zombie outbreak. Now, this was the kind of stuff you would see in the movies or read in comics. But it was all a true and, Jaune was in it. He was still asking himself what did he do to deserved this. It's not like he was a bad person that needed to be punished.
His luck wasn't getting any better when the trio arrived at a dead end. Walking was the best course of action to get to the police station. That's what Leon suggested before realizing they were surrounded by more zombies. Just when the rookie cop was about to use reverse and leave, a truck headed their way. There was a crash, an explosion and he was able to protect Claire from serious harm. Both have been separated from the cop and they went their separate ways hoping they will reunite at the station. The Arc and his female companion ran through the desolated streets while taking out some of the undead. Jaune was still in denial that this was all happening and he wasn't in a horror movie. Thankfully, they made it to the police station. But, not before encountering zombie dogs near the entrance. Him and Claire were still in one piece as they entered and locked the gate behind them.
So, here he's was, outside of the station catching his breath. Gazing at the young brunette next to him, she was the same. She didn't even looked afraid in the least. It made the Arc wondered if she has done this before. Did she survived another outbreak. She knew how to use a gun and she hasn't lost her calm for a second. Except during the car accident, anyone would crap their pants. Claire definitely had the appearance of a huntress. Though it confused him she didn't know what huntsman or huntress is. The brunette misinterpreted with a regular hunter that kills animals for a living or hobby. Another thing that freaked out Jaune. Never heard of Raccoon City and people not knowing what's a Huntsman. Just where the hell was he. This was no dream because it was too damn real to be one. Asides from worrying about Leon, he was thinking about his friends and teammates.
The blond knight was suddenly snapped back to reality by the brunette. He only smiled in return while she shook her head. After telling him what Halloween is, Jaune realized why they would confused his attire for a costume of a holiday where people dressed up and go from door to door asking for candy. So how come he never heard of it. All of this was steering a very bad feeling in his gut. Like the crazy theory that he might no longer be in Remnant. Pretty crazy all right. To think he wasn't in his world but, in another one. A whole new world. It made him laughed in his head, that couldn't be. The blond calmed down and followed Claire as they climbed the small stair case leading to the entrance of the station. The brunette readied her gun and he did the same unsheathing his weapons. They had no idea what could be waiting for them inside. Both nodded as they opened the double doors.
Jaune was impressed by the sight. It was big, showing it had two floors. This has to be the main hall as his eyes traveled before him. There stood a desk with plenty of folders and paper work left to fill out, with a long wooden design and two pillars. Looks like whoever was suppose to fill in those folders has been missing for a while. It was really nice. It gave the blond that it looked more like a museum than a police station. Behind the pillars was a big statue ivory colored very elegant, a woman holding a flag high in her left hand. Behind it, an ivory wall with two stair cases leading up. Again, showing the elegance of the place. Some curtains with metals in them, he knew that must be the medical bay where they're suppose to be taking care of the wounded and those that needed food and other supplies. Next to him was a medical bed, empty. It seems there was no one around.
"Anybody here?!" cried Claire.
Jaune didn't replied, he was having a very bad feeling. The same feeling when he entered the store at the gas station and when they were in the police car when they hit the dead end. In one thing he learned in a zombie outbreak, things never go the way you want to. Expect the unexpected and expect worse to happen. Who would think all those comics and movies would ever come in handy. The Arc went to explore the main hall with his female companion. The brunette showed a spray bottle with a green cross that said" first aid". Definitely something that will be held in the med bay. She put it her pouch. Walking over to the desk there was a small box with a drawing of dust rounds, but they looked very different. Claire picked them up it was ammo, she needed it for her gun. An old looking machine with keys. The Arc never seen it before, a large box and next to it something that really caught the attention of the blond huntsman.
"A lap top. Looks very outdated compare to the newer models I've seen" Jaune gazed at the screen it had the initials RPD.
"This might help" Claire went to check the computer tipping the keys.
It showed a desktop and quickly brought four split screens of different places in the station. They were obviously live feed from the surveillance cameras.
"Come on, Chris, where are you?" she was obviously worried.
One of the live feeds showed a police officer shooting a zombie. Jaune reacted looks like there were still survivors after all. The cop kept shooting at the undead while running.
"Shit...They're inside too…."
"We have to help him" the blond kept staring at the live feed.
*David! Marvin! You there?! I found a way out! It's in here! The officer was staring at the camera while showing a note book
He put the notebook away as he tackled the zombie that got close to him, he kept on shooting at it he really needed help.
*Send reinforcements! East Hallway! He ran off.
"Where is he exactly?" asked the Arc.
Claire pressed a key showing a map of the police station. A part of it was in red meaning, it was the east hallway where the officer was.
"Let's get going. I don't think anyone else will come to help him" said the blond.
The brunette nodded as her eyes fell on the desk. There was a map of the station, just what they needed. If they needed to find that cop, her brother and Leon. Jaune nodded to her, she was really smart. They were after all, in an unfamiliar place. Without any sense of direction, the map was the only thing they could rely on. The east hallway was located to the right so the duo went in that direction. There was a metal fence with the RPD initials and above it a white half square with a white star. There was a carton sing stick to it that said" Keep out". Jaune mentally sighed somebody put that sing for a good reason. Instead of keeping out and obeying, they were going straight in. It's the same way in the Living Dead, the characters entered dangerous places they're not suppose to set foot on. Claire reached for the switch of the fence and pulled the lever down. The red light changed green but the fence moved a little, looks like it was stuck.
"Perfect" muttered the brunette.
"No choice but to crawl over it. I'll go first" he folded his shield and sheathed Crocea Mors back.
"Okay. I'll watch your back. Take the flashlight" she nodded while looking around the place, making sure no zombies pooped out.
"Thanks" he smiled taking it.
The blond huntsman crouched as he tried to get a better view. It wasn't good. In the ground, there was blood. It was dry, looks like this happened a while back. The flashlight wasn't helping much. These were the times he wished he was a faunus. They had night vision so it wouldn't be a problem for the species seeing in the dark. After a better look, the walls were also covered in blood. Someone must have had a lot of fun massacring how many people. Of course Jaune was being sarcastic it wasn't fun killing innocent people. He had an idea that this outbreak has been going on for quite a while because of the conditions outside of the station and now the dried blood. Looking a bit more there was a long hallway. No zombies in the vicinity, for now.
"How does it look?" asked the brunette.
"There's blood everywhere."
"That means we're in the right path" there was some sarcasm in her tone.
"But it's safe. We should be able to pass through."
As Claire kept staring at the crouched Jaune. Her eyes have suddenly fell all over his body until reaching his butt.
"Not bad…." she like it, she wasn't into men with a small behind and the blonds' was really nice in her opinion.
"Claire come on" the Arc was already inside.
She crouched and crawl over the metal fence forgetting the pervy thought regarding the blonds' bottom. Jaune decided to keep the flashlight while unsheathing his weapons again. The camera feed showed a zombie chasing that cop which means there could be more of the undead somewhere around here. As they traveled the dark bloody hallway the duo spotted a fuse box and it was missing a fuse. There were a couple of doors but no need to explore them for the moment. Passing a double door their path was blocked by a steel locker. The Arc volunteered to remove it. It wasn't that heavy but he was able to put into the right place with the others so, they can proceed. The floor was suddenly flooded with water. There must be a leak somewhere. Staring above there was the sing of the restrooms. That must be where the leak was, a broken pipe or a toilet malfunctioning.
The deeper they traveled in the hallway, the stronger Jaune's bad feeling was becoming. He has seen this in the Living Dead series. Broken dark places are a bad sign. Only trouble will be awaiting them at the end. He could actually see it as he was predicting future events. By the time they find that police officer, the whole place will be surrounded by zombies. That's when the good part will start. Obviously being sarcastic again. They saw another door but this one had a chain wrapped around the handle. They won't be able to get in until they find something to cut it. And he wasn't planning of using his sword as a cutting tool. It's a weapon, for fighting and killing. There were smashed furniture and desks and more blood. The sight worried the Arc, zombies couldn't have done this massacre no matter the numbers. According to his favorite outbreak series.
"OPEN UP! HURRY! OPEN UP!" the loud shouting was coming not that far.
"That must be him" said the blond huntsman.
"OPEN THIS GODDAMN DOOR!"
"We're coming!"
They entered a room where the screams were coming from. There was a closed metal fence. It was the fire safety door and they could hear struggling on the other side.
"I'm here!" said the brunette.
"Hang in there!" followed the Arc.
"OPEN THE DOOR! HURRY UP! HURRY UP, OPEN IT!" the cop sounded so terrified and desperate.
Both used all their strength to lift the metal door. They succeeded in opening it a little as the arm of the cop emerged holding the notebook that has the exit out of the station.
"Here, give me your hand!"
"We got you!"
"Here, here, help me!"
Claire got one hand and Jaune the other but something was preventing them from getting the officer out completely. Something was pulling him back, with bigger strength. The cop started screaming in agony. Blood was being spilled when they were able to pulled him in, the most gruesome sight laid before their eyes. The duo was only able to pulled the upper half of the man, followed by a trail of blood as the metal door closed. The Arc was beyond shock, this was the first time he has seen so much blood in his entire life, the smell hit his nose hard . He could even seen his insides. As a Huntsman he doesn't live in a world of blood and gore. When killing a Grimm, it was dead, the creatures don't bleed. They turned to black smoke when they're killed. Not to mention he has never been put in the position where he has to kill a person. The blond has felt the hatred remembering when he fought Cinder at Haven Academy, he didn't stood a chance against her. Not against the monster who killed his partner.
"Claire, you okay?"
She nodded quickly, obviously she was shocked too. Feeling bad they weren't able to saved him. The metal door was being hit constantly on the other side. Jaune ignored the noises as he took the officer's notebook. His last words were" tell Marvin". They needed this if they wanted to find a way out. But first, they needed to find Chris and Leon.
"Oh God. I'm so sorry…." she whispered.
"We did the best we could."
"If only we would have come a lot sooner…."
"I know. But we can't waste time. I don't want to stay here any longer. I really have a bad feeling-"
The Arc was interrupted as the door to the room burst opened and a police zombie emerged. This was exactly what he was fearing. Now the undead was coming for them like they did with that cop. Claire reacted quickly as she shot it's head but it wasn't enough to bring it down. Jaune finished it off slicing it's head off with Crocea Mors. Both left the room as a zombie emerged from the window breaking the glass. They run back to the way they came only to find two more zombies blocking their way. It's like they were waiting for them to come. The brunette fired her gun while the blond slashed through the undead while shoving one with his shield. The duo finally made it to the metal door that leads to the main hall. Behind them, more zombies were coming their way.
"Go! I'll hold them off!" said the Arc.
"I'm not leaving without you!" argued the brunette.
"I'll be fine. Just go!"
"I'm not leaving you!" after what she saw there was no way she was leaving Jaune.
"I'll be right behind you, I promise!"
"You better!"
Claire crawled over to the other side, no problem. The blond followed, but one of the zombies grabbed his foot. This was the last thing he wanted.
"Damn it, let go!"
Let him go you son of a bitch!" she was shooting the arm of the undead.
Jaune was almost out but the zombie was right behind him. Someone came and grabbed the blond out of the way as he closed the metal door shut with his foot bashing the undead's brains in. A dark skinned man looking in his early forties wearing a cop uniform, another officer. He had a wound on the right side of his stomach. It didn't looked good, the Arc was shocked. Did he got bit too, he will eventually turned.
"You all right?"
"Yeah. Thanks" replied the blond huntsman.
"You're safe...For now. Marvin Branagh."
"Jaune Arc."
"A little early for Halloween?" the wounded cop took noticed of his choice of clothes.
"This again" he sweat dropped.
"Obviously someone taught you well."
Jaune thought about Pyrrha as his blue eyes softened at the memory of the red head.
"Come on" he held his hand and the Arc gladly took it.
"Thank you for the help" said the brunette.
"It should be expected you two would come here. A little too late, I'm afraid" he walked over to a sofa with a lap top on it, getting seated.
"What happened to this city?"
"It all happened so quickly. Before anyone knew it, people were eating people."
"It is a zombie outbreak, after all" replied the blond huntsman.
"So nobody knows what caused this?" asked the brunette.
"There's a lot of theories...But all I know for sure is that this place is crawling with zombies."
"Yeah. You're telling me. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Claire Redfield."
"Redfield?" Marvin reacted" as in Chris Redfield?"
"Yeah, he's my brother. Have you seen him?"
"He's on vacation. Europe, I think. Left weeks ago."
"Europe?" Jaune has never heard of it before, was his insane was true that he could be in another world.
"Vacation?" she stood a little taken back" that's...That's great news."
"At least now we know he's safe" smiled at the blond at the brunette" by the way Marvin, we got this from another officer. He didn't made it, I'm sorry."
"I'm sure you did the best you could" he took the notebook opening it" I might have more good news for you. Looks like there might be a way out through this secret passageway" Marvin pointed to the opened note book showing a small hand written map.
"Yeah. That's what that officer said. That he might have found a way out" said the Arc.
"His name was Elliot, he was a good man with a wonderful family."
"Good" Claire took the note book checking the map.
The officer was groaning in pain.
"We should get you to a hospital."
"Oh, no...Forget about me. I can take care of myself."
Jaune stood silent maybe he already knows there's no turning back. He will eventually become a zombie, maybe within the hour.
"No, don't be ridiculous you're gonna need help-"
"Listen Claire. Save yourself and Jaune. So you can see your brother again."
"Let's do as he says" whispered the blond.
"Now...You're gonna need this" Marvin handed her a walkie" and this" followed by a combat knife.
"And be careful. If any of you see one of those things-no matter who they were-you can't hesitate. Take em' out if you can, or you run."
"We already know" nodded the blond huntsman.
Marving turned to the Arc seeing the sheathed sword on his waist" please tell me you're not going to fight those things with that?"
"It's my weapon and it has helped me a lot, so far."
"So far…." replied the officer.
"He's right. I've seen him using that sword and he knows how to use it. He has saved me a lot of ammo."
"It doesn't matter how good you are with a sword. What if you encounter an enemy in the distance and Claire isn't there to back you up? You're going to need some fire power. You have to be prepare for anything, if you want to survive this."
Jaune stood in thought. He was right this was more complicated than a Huntsman mission or eliminating Grimm. This was a zombie outbreak and being prepared was top priority over everything else. He has to think of the possibility that he might get separated from Claire like they did with Leon.
"Here" Marvin offered the Arc his handgun.
"But I...I don't know if I should take it" honestly the blond wasn't a fun of guns, especially when he didn't know how to use one.
"Just take it. I don't need it anymore."
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked the brunette.
"Come on, Claire. Let's go" he took the handgun from the officer.
They decided to leave Marvin alone as Jaune joined the brunette seeing the map on Elliot's notebook. First there was the ivory statue of the woman with the flag and there was some writing saying" three medallions", then a passage below the statue that leads underground all the way to the parking lot of the station. So they needed three medallions to open the passage. But where should they start. Claire went to the next page and there were three more statues. One was a lion, the other a unicorn and the third one a woman. Below each statues there were drawings neither of the two could understand. So they decided to investigate the statue first before heading out. Getting closer below it stood three empty circular slots. That's where the medallions go. So it was confirmed that they needed to find them in order to active the secret passage that will take them out of the police station.
Claire noticed a statue up in the second floor, she told Jaune to follow her. Climbing the long stair case they were surprised that the statue was of a lion holding a shield with something in it but it was closed. The blond checked the book, it has to be it. But what about the pictures drawn below it.
"We found it. Too easy if you ask me."
"I'm not complaining. These drawings must be the answer."
"Look here" the Arc saw a mechanism below the statue that had pictures he touched one, hey, you can move them."
"We know what to do now. We matched the drawings in the notebook."
"Let's give it a shot."
Claire moved the first picture following Elliot's book. A lion, the second was a plant or a herb and the third was an eagle. A loud sound caught their attention as the lid on the shield opened revealing the lion medallion.
"We did it" Jaune was shocked that it was so easy.
"One down, two to go" smiled the brunette.
"I doubt the other two will be that easy to find."
As they climbed down, the duo decided to put medallion in one of the slots. A loud sound was heard as the statue went higher revealing a couple of iron bars. Behind it, a cell door. That has to be the way out.
"So Elliot was right" Marvin saw what happened when they put the medallion, the secret passage is in the statue of the Goddess.
"Yeah, but we need the other two."
"Let's do some medallion hunting" replied the Arc.
"Hang in there Marvin. We won't be long."
Jaune gazed at the wounded officer and shook his head. Claire was really determined to help him. But he couldn't let her lift her hopes when he knew what was going to happen to him. They went to the left side of the main hall. There was a metal fence gate closed. The device to open it was closed and it had yellow tape. The Redfield immediately took the combat knife given by Marvin cutting the tape. Opening it, she pulled the lever down. The fence opened all the way giving them access to the area. There were two reception desks behind a glass window. Next to them two couch similar to the one where Marvin is seated in the main hall, two wooden tables behind a wooden wall. In the corner of the room there was a door. Jaune took his weapons again along Claire taking her gun. Another dark room with blood stains on the walls and floor. He turned on the flashlight while holding his shield.
"Claire?"
"Yeah" she kept her eyes forward.
"You do know there's nothing we can do for Marvin."
"What are you talking about?" she got a little upset now, looking at him" we know what we have to do. We find the two medallions we need and then we take him with us to the passage."
"Claire, it's too late for him" the blond huntsman took a deep breath" I know how you feel. You want to help him and save his life, I'm just like you. I would be so angry if people in front of me die and there's nothing I can do about it. Trust me, I know that feeling well" he remembered when he found out Pyrrha died and he was useless to save her.
"But there's something we can do for him-" she argued.
"You must have figure it out by now. Anyone that gets bitten by a zombie gets infected, and become one. Marvin's wound is from a bite, he will be one of them too."
"Shit…." she glared" how long?"
"I don't know. The people that got bitten at the gas station turned after a couple of minutes. His time is running out, I'm sorry I have to be the one to tell you."
"No, don't apologize. I kinda already knew. But I didn't wanted to admit it. I was trying to be positive."
"The only thing we can do now is find those medallions and Leon. Your brother isn't here, so he's safe. Now, you need to get to safety, away from here."
"Me? You're coming too. The three of us will leave this city, together" she glared at him.
"I know" he smiled and she felt so much better now.
*This is 73 bird-for rescue-heading east-river. Touchdown at RPD-minutes.*
The two stopped in a corner of the hallway as they saw the body of another police officer. His communication device was on the left side of his shoulder. They walked slowly not knowing if he will get up as a zombie. Jaune carefully touched the head and moved up. Blue eyes widened in shock, there was so much blood as half of his face has been ripped out.
"Oh, god! Poor guy…."
"The sooner we find those medallions, the better" the Arc really wanted to leave this place already.
"Did you hear that?"
"Claire?" the blond was more shocked.
Before them was the body of another officer but he was hanging from the ceiling. Like he hanged himself. He'd probably committed suicide because he didn't wanted to become a zombie. The body suddenly fell, it wasn't moving. The Arc kept on walking with the Redfield behind him. There was a door next to them but it had the engraving of a clover, it was locked so they needed a key. They continued heading straight into a hallway that had water again with broken wooden planks, an open window. Jaune thought they should find a way to seal it before a zombie through it. Heading to another corner there was a zombie banging on a window. If this keeps up it will break it. Looks like he spoke too soon as the soon broke the window and fell to the ground. The blond acted immediately stabbing it's head with his sword, killing it. The duo saw a dead end then, a pair of double doors.
Jaune slowly opened the door as the two entered the room. There were some desks and table scattered around along with some soda machines. A podium with a chalkboard. This must have been the meeting room, but it was a real mess. Something caught Claire's eye as she took it. Showing it to her blond companion it was a complete map of the first floor of the police station. A good find as he smiled and gave a nod to her. There was another door with a chained wrapped around the knob. The Arc saw something on a desk, a piece of paper titled" RPD Record of Events", he showed it to the Redfield as the two started reading it.
September 25th
We're turning the station into a temporary shelter due to the sudden massive outbreak. All police personnel have been instructed to make the safety of the citizens their top priority as we try to accommodate as many of them as possible.
(addendum)
One of the refugees attacked us in the middle of the night, resulting in the death of one officer and injuring three others. The person in question was quickly restrained. We believe this was simply a case of someone snapping under intense stress.
Jaune and Claire didn't believed it one bit. Obviously the person was infected.
September 26th
A mob attacked the station today, resulting in a number of casualties. A few survivors were able to make it safely behind the emergency shutters, but surrounded as we are, it'll be hard for any of us to escape this place. We're not sure we can fix any of our comm equipment, so we remain cut off from the outside world.
September 27th
There was another clash on the west side of the station around 1 pm. Twelve people died, and there is only a handful of survivors left. Everything is falling into disarray here.
David Ford
"This is how the police station eventually fell to the outbreak" Jaune gave a sigh.
"We can't worry about it now. C'mon, let's keep going."
The two saw in the corner piled up wooden planks with a broken rectangular window. They immediately knew what to do. The Arc went first to climbed over the planks and jumped through the hole, followed by the brunette. They made it to the other side of the hallway when they saw a fat zombie banging on a coffee machine. Probably the silliest thing either have seen from the undead do. Anyone could make the joke that it wanted to drink coffee. The blond huntsman told Claire to stay put as he tried to take it out before it notice them. He got close enough when it turned to him, it immediately received his sword on it's head killing it. Jaune removed it, cleaning it with a piece of cloth. It has taken too much blood from these things. And Marvin gave him his gun. He was sure he wasn't going to need it but he still accept it out of kindness. So he put the weapon on his right pocket.
Passing another corner there were two doors. One said" West Office" and the other" Storage Deposit Room". Claire chose the second choice as they carefully entered the room. There were dozens of lockers and a control panel on the front. Jaune was looking around and saw one of them had some ammo, another had a pouch with the RPD initials. Everything in these lockers would become useful to Claire so he went back to the Redfield who was checking the panel. Then she went to a nearby desk with a piece of paper.
Storage Locker Terminal Memo
It appears that the keypads to the lockers terminal are missing a few keys, I suggest that the person responsible for this mess find some spare keys and fix this RIGHT NOW.
(You know who you are, bastard. Who else'd fuck it up this badly!?)
"Looks like he never got the chance to fix it" the Arc gazed at the panel with the missing keys being 2 and 3" wouldn't want to be in his shoes."
"No you wouldn't. He's probably not around anymore."
The blond huntsman gave a nod, he was probably dead or a zombie, or maybe escaped safely. Gazing ahead there was another room but smaller. There was a bigger locker with a weapon inside. Jaune was no expert in weapons like Ruby but that seemed to be an older version of a grenade launcher. Not in the slightest in the same level as Nora's weapon though. Next to it was a locker with some ammo. Probably for the weapon and next to it an electronic device that was a card reader. They won't be getting that grenade launcher any time soon. The Arc was caught off guard hearing banging coming from the door. A zombie broke in as Claire acted shooting at it on it's head, followed by the leg. Another shot on the leg and it was down. One more shot to the head and it was dead.
"I'm sorry Claire, I didn't realize-"
"It's okay. You can't always be the one to get all the credit" she smiled as she reloaded her gun with more ammo.
"So two and three are out of the question?"
"Until we find those missing keys, yeah. Let's make our time here worthwhile."
Claire opened locker 106 and 109 for now. There was roll of film and ammo. The Arc had no idea what was the film for. Leaving the storage deposit room the duo continued their journey through west hallway of the station. There was a staircase leading to the second floor while there was a zombie on a window. Jaune saw some items below the stairs. One, being some hard boards. The blond got an idea as he was able to barricade with window with them. Now the undead couldn't break through. That was one less zombie to worry about. There was an opened door near the items. It was some sort of office and there stood a sing that said" Darkroom. The Redfield told her blond companion that they'll be able to see the roll film if they take it there. It was a good thing brunette took a course of photography when she was in high school. It didn't took long since it was only one picture.
It was a photo titled" A commemorative photo". A statue of an old man wearing a crown, a king. He was holding in his right hand a book colored red and on his left a scepter with a red jewel. Neither of the two had a clue what it was about, or what could it mean. But they decided to keep the photo just in case. Who knows, it might come in handy later. After investigating the room, the due went upstairs, to the second floor. Two bodies near a metal shutter. Jaune stabbed both in the head to make sure they don't get up. They went to the other stair going to the third floor. So the police station had more than two floors. They climbed until reaching the fourth floor. There were two lockers and next to it a huge hole like a car ram through the concrete wall. Entering the hole, something caught their eyes that stood on a desk. A key and the end had the shape of a spade. So with this, they'll be able to unlock any doors that has the spade lock. They left the room through a door into a long hallway with a window.
As the duo continued walking, something passed the window at quick speed. It was too fast for them to tell what it was.
"What was that!?"
"Don't know" the blond Huntsman tightened his hold on Crocea Mors" but whatever it was. It didn't looked like a zombie to me."
"…...….."
To be continued
-I'm leaving it here quite a nice cliffhanger.
-Lickers are dicks in this game. Seriously why they made them fast and can one shot you in hardcore mode.
A reminder this might be the RE2 remake but it still takes place in the same year as the original 1998. So Claire is 19 even if her voice actress and the model who also did the motion capture looks like she's in her mid twenties.
-At some point in the story Jaune will use guns asides his sword and shield. The experience of the outbreak will test him to rely on other types of weapons.
-I'm annoyed Claire gets a sub machine gun from the S.T.A.R.S armory while Leon get the lightning hawk magnum. That's sexist lol, give her a freaking magnum too.
-Silly me I just started the story and I still haven't given my opinion on the game. To me RE2 remake is a masterpiece truly the best RE game ever. Finally returning to its roots of true survival horror nothing like RE5 or RE6. Not that I hate those games, I like them but they're not survival horror, they're more action oriented. And to those that say the game sucks, you're a hater and haters will always hate. I'd say the game has sell quite well in it's first week of release. I also deserves the vote to become game of the year with Kingdom Hearts 3 and Last of us 2. The only thing that disappointed me of the game is that they didn't put spiders or the birds. But everything else is awesome.
Replying to reviews:
*CT7567Rules so far I'm planning to give him two more weapons asides Marvin 9mm handgun. Combat knife doesn't count but I'm planning of giving him one in further chapters. The first weapon will either be an assault rifle, machine gun, or shot gun. I don't think Jaune is the kind of character to handle a sniper rifle. The second I already know which one. You will have to be patient.
*MrSlendy69 thank you I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
*The Real Hell Fire already planning in giving him weapons to survive the outbreak.
*Edrap really? Well Code Veronica Steve died and he was in love with her, Revelations? You mean Revelations 2? I don't think she had a love interest in that game the guy that betrayed them and became a Tyran I doubt she had a thing for him. The only CGI movie she was in was Degenaration and I don't she had a love interest. Some say she's married.
*warrior of six blades- I know how tough Jaune is. Thanks to his large amount of aura. He can take on zombies and dogs. Though a licker will take him by surprise since they made them so fast in this game. But he won't have a problem dealing with them. He won't get biten...For now. I will make sure not to nerf him. Never underestimate Jaune . Also I just wrote the G Biking first form fight and Jaune handle himself well along with Claire, it wasn't that tough of a fight.
*Guest- Jaune is tough enough to handle himself in the zombie outbreak. But he has to learn not to rely on Croces Mors too much. This isn't Remnant.
*X3runner- I guess Leon and Claire is an obvious ship. But I have always seen Leon liking Ada since it was proven he has a thing for her especially in RE6. Maybe if he finally moves on from her I can see him and Claire becoming a possible thing. And lol I don't think Jaune has to worry about Chris with his huge amount of aura, he can take on his fist and not get hurt.
*Ultimate Kuuga- true it is Ruby's birthday but I will take the guess they don't celebrate Halloween in Remnant or Christmas for the matter. This is all my opinion.
*SaintMichael95- of course there are grammar errors. But I have already explained why I'm not interested in getting a Beta. I've had bad experience with them so no thank you.
*Gree123 -thank you I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
*Justaquestion12- true Jaune in this new world can be consider superhuman. He can even give Wesker a run for his money. But we know he's tough in his own way because of his large amount of aura. Not to mention he has knowledge about zombies and outbreaks so he's prepare for it. And your idea is pretty interesting. True Umbrella might be interested in him or the US government.
*Idon't-like-pen-names- thank you I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
*Guest-true it's a whole different world so those people don't have aura. Meaning, Jaune's semblance is useless to help them. Specially those are infected with the T-virus.
*Wolfpackersson- sorry but no this is the RE world Jaune is the only one with aura and a semblance. Claire is fine the way she is. She's a survivor.
*Karlos 1234ify-thank I hope you continue to enjoy the story.
*The Emerald Mage-what a surprise to see a review from you in this story. Thank you as always I have a feeling you're going to like this story. Even if it will be a short one. Your support is always appreciate it. And I already answered Jaune will still use Crocea Mors along with other weapons. It's a zombie outbreak. He already has Marvin's handgun.
-Thank you very much for all the feedback, the favs and follows. I'd say it's impressive with only the first chapter.
Next time: Just a bad dream, a very bad dream
