Chapter 5 The Lost Girl
(Location: Underground Passageway below Raccoon City Police Station Raccoon City Arklay County midwestern USA)
After saying their goodbyes to Marvin. Jaune and Claire entered the secret passage, once it closed down. They climbed a short stair case leading to a big office. The Arc was surprised by the sight. The place looks very clean as if someone, has been coming here recently. Maybe it wasn't the first time someone has used this passage. There was a big desk with many books on it, a plenty of bookshelves, a silver carriage with more books, a fire hydrant with a sing above showing how to put a valve on it, he didn't understood. Are they supposed to find another one. A small round table with a round sphere. Jaune took a good look at it, he was able to see the United States in it. Blue eyes widened, this must be a map of this world. There were so many places, definitely bigger than Remnant, he could stared at it forever and study it. A wooden table with two medium-sized statues. One was a unicorn and the other a lion.
Another table on the other side with a small model of a familiar building. It looked like the police station. There were some flame rounds next to it, so Claire took them. It was a nice and cozy place, for being underground. The Arc didn't minded staying her for a little longer. His eyes were on the blue globe again, the map of this world. Who knows he was going to be here so, might as well use his time to learn the different places. Sure, this wasn't the right time, but another look wasn't going to hurt. The brunette was also taking her time looking around. There was an entrance in the office going further. The blond huntsman gazed at it and there was an elevator. He wondered if it will take them up or down. If they were underground chances were high it will be down. Maybe he should ask Claire if he can take the world globe. He wasn't good in his studies, and his grades were average but when he was interested in something. He will learn it no matter what.
"Now that I think about it. Who would ever believe such thing as another world. If I tell this to the others, they will never believe me."
"I think this place will do."
"Hm…." he turned to her who was smiling.
"To teach you how to use a gun."
"What? Claire, I don't think we have time for a lesson. I said I'm fine the way I am."
"You need to learn Jaune. You can't always rely on your sword and shield. Learning about fire arms will help you get through this. I'm not gonna wait until something bad happens that forces you to use a gun."
"Okay, I get it. I don't like it, but you're right. And so is Marvin. I'm willing to give this a chance, for him…."
"Great, let's get started" she took the handgun from his pocket" first are, the basics. This small leaver you see in the handle is the safety mechanism. Right now, it's on so you can't fire it. Just lower it like this and now the gun is armed and ready, or hot. That's what my brother said."
"He's the one who taught you to use a gun?"
"Yeah. He wanted me to learn everything. From using weapons to self defense. He can be a bit paranoid sometimes. Not, that I'm complaining. I'm glad he did."
"You did said he was a cop or a members of that S.T.A.R.S group. And I think he taught you because he worries about you."
"More like he's over protective. That's the better term. Okay" she handed him the gun" "now show me what you've learn so far."
"The safety mechanism, on and off."
"Good job, usually you should always have the weapon's safety on at all times. But since we're in a zombie outbreak. It will be better to have it off every time. Now we can proceed to the next step. Aiming and shooting. First, show me how would you hold it if we were surrounded by zombies."
That was going to be tricky. He has seen Ruby handled Crescent Rose. Shooting the rifle feature to pushed her body using a charge, Blake shooting from Gambol Shroud, Weiss firing from Myrtenaster, Yang's Ember Celica, Nora Magnhild in grenade launcher mode, Ren's Storm Flower even Emerald's weapon in twin pistols mode. But those weren't ordinary weapons. He was just holding a regular old fashioned gun. Now that he thought about it, the ammunition, it definitely wasn't dust. New world, no dust and probably no lien either. But he has seen Claire using her gun so imitate her hold of it. In return the brunette smiled. That was a good sing that he did right. Yep, another step passed with flying colors. At least, that's what he thought.
"Nice try. But you got it wrong."
"What are you talking about? That's how YOU hold your gun."
"Yes, but I'm experienced, you're not. You're supposed to hold it with both hands. I can hold the flashlight and shoot at the same time because I already know how to handle a weapon. A rookie like you needs to properly hold it. You don't want it to fall on your hands, causing it to fire and hit someone accidentally? Like yourself."
"I think if we were surrounded by zombies, I would be their meal by now if I was using a gun" the blond gave a sigh.
"That's why I'm teaching you. Let me show you how."
Jaune nodded as Claire went behind him. Her arms touched his, holding his hands and the handgun. He felt his cheeks reddening at the touch. For someone tough like the Redfield, her hands are very soft.
"That's how you hold it. Now, let's aim. Let us find a target."
Guiding him, they were pointing at one of the white statues on the table. The unicorn one to be precise.
"Claire, are you sure we should be shooting something here? This office might belong to someone and it's too clean like it's been recently used."
"You're right. Let's use you for a target."
"What…?"
"I'm kidding you dork" the smile was present in her lips" forget about anything here. Try and shoot that unicorn. Keep both of your eyes open, pull the trigger when you're ready. One important rule, don't hesitate. If you have it in your sight, fire away. Don't think it too much."
Jaune did as told, gazing at the unicorn statue, focusing. The gun was pointing right at it, guided by the brunette's hands. Her words were on his mind, no hesitation, no thinking too much. So, he took the shot. He pulled the trigger in result, the unicorn statue shattered to pieces. Blue eyes widened, he actually did it. Claire's hands left as he pulled the gun down.
"I...I did it…."
"Not that hard, right?" she smiled again.
"I don't think so. If I practice enough, I'll get better."
"Practice makes perfect. Go ahead, see if you can hit the other one."
The Arc nodded moving the gun slowly until he was aiming right at the lion statue. Following the brunette's advice he did everything he remembers. It was on his sight, so he pulled the trigger and hit the corner of the statue causing a small break. The blond sighed putting the weapon down.
"You can't expect to hit it on your first try on your own. But I'd say, you did good. You were able to hit it."
"I guess. I didn't missed it completely and hit something else."
"We'll continue this later. Your aim will get better, I know it."
"Thanks for teaching me Claire. You're a great teacher. Everything you said really helped."
"That's how my brother taught me."
"Still angry with him?"
"I am. But it will never change how I feel about him. He better come back, or I'll go to Paris and drag his ass back."
"Like I said, wouldn't want to be in Chris's shoes."
"Should we get going?"
"Yeah. We spent too much time here already."
They went to the new door, pressing a button on the elevator. It opened as they entered. The doors closed. It was going down.
"Something's has been bothering me for a while about your name Jaune."
"Like what?"
"Are you by any chance a descendant of Jeanne D' Arc?"
"Who?" the blond had no idea, no one from his family is named like that.
"Thought so. Never mind."
"No, seriously. Who is she?"
"Read some history books to find out."
The elevator finally reached the designated floor. Jaune guessed they were probably at the bottom floor of the passage. Claire volunteered to used the flashlight because it was dark. Climbing more stairs going down. They took a path to the right, nothing construction stuff among others things that weren't useful. The brunette picked up something showing it to him. The Arc was able to tell it was a hand grenade but it looked like a very old model. He has seen the ones from Remnant that are more tech-wise. Guess this world was a little behind when it comes to technology. After taking the grenade they went back up, taking the path to the right. Thankfully, it wasn't dark. The sound of steam hissing nearby caught their ears. There were many pipes all around. There was a path with iron pads and railings. Both heard footsteps coming from above, they saw someone running passed them.
"You saw that?"
"Looks like we're not alone down here" nodded the Redfield.
It was hard to tell the person because they weren't able to have a good look. But judging from the light footsteps, it was probably someone small. The duo kept going straight reaching more machines and pipes. There was a door on the left side, before taking the other way. They needed to investigate everywhere. Jaune knew leaving the police station wasn't going to be easy after seeing this. It was like a maze, nothing was easy when you're experiencing a zombie outbreak. And suddenly the blond huntsman had this bad feeling. So bad, he could feel a shiver down his spine. The hair on his arms were probably straight up. Why was he feeling like this. Because everything was going good so far. In the Living Dead when things are going according to plan, something always happens to ruin it. Something very bad. This wasn't any different, so he had a right to worried.
They weren't out of the clearing yet. Not until, they finally leave this city. There was a metal locker blocking their path so Jaune volunteered to move it out of the way. As he grabbed it, that bad feeling was getting worse. Why does this have to happen. He was hoping that licker don't show up. The blond would rather fight zombies than those freaks, showing their bones, brains and other body parts. Not to mention they were fast and strong. If it weren't for his shield and armor, he would be in big trouble. Good thing Claire was there to blast them to hell with her grenade launcher. She was truly awesome. Strong, tough, nice and a looker too to boot. Well, it was true, she is very attractive. But someone cool like her must have a boyfriend. The Arc erased his thoughts why was he thinking that when his bad feeling hasn't gone away. Focusing on the metal locker, it was too heavy, he tried a couple of times, but it wasn't working.
"Damn, it won't budge."
The blond heard someone near" Claire hand me the flashlight.
The brunette did as told. Jaune pointed it in the same place where the metal locker was in the way. There was someone here maybe, it was the same person that was running above them.
"Who's there?"
The person emerged from a pile of boxes. It was a girl around seven or eight years of age. With short blond hair and two short bangs on each side, blue eyes, she had a bracelet on her right arm, wearing a blue blouse. The Arc couldn't believe as he looked at her. She resembled his youngest sister, she was probably the same age too. The girl was terrified. Wait, was she here this entire time. A small girl, all alone in the middle of this outbreak. The blond huntsman signaled for Claire to get closer and have a look, she was surprised seeing the girl. The brunette came to the conclusion she was the one running above them. But the big question, why was she running. From who was she running. It didn't seemed there were zombies down here.
"It's okay, we're not going to hurt you" said Jaune.
"What are you doing here? We can help you."
"Take my hand" said the blond" I promise we will get you to a safe place."
"You two...Need help…." she replied in a whisper.
"What?" asked the Redfield.
"You two need help" she said a little louder.
"Why would you say that?" asked the Arc.
The little girl pointed" he's right behind you."
Jaune felt another shiver run down his spine as he felt something was behind him and Claire. Something big and, probably scary. The blond quickly draw his weapons as the brunette followed taking her grenade launcher. Both were in shock. Honestly they were expecting a zombie, a dog heck, even a licker. But definitely what they were staring now. It was another creature one, they have never seen before. It attacked them but they dodged, breaking one of the iron floors. It took a large metal pipe as the two fell off to the floor below. Jaune helped Claire up as the creature jumped down before them. It wasn't human yet, there was half of it that had an actual human part and an arm. A blond man with blue eyes. Did this thing used to be human. It's large mutated arm and a big yellow on it's left shoulder. It's started swinging the big pipe around. Getting hit by that will hurt. The Arc started looking at his surroundings. Looking for the best way to fight this thing.
"Words ain't gonna cut it with this freak…."
"Has words actually work on the others things we've fought so far?"
"Good point."
Claire was about to fire but she realized she needed to reload her grenade launcher. Jaune took the time to try and get behind the creature, slashing it's back. The brunette didn't wasted time using her gun. It was staggered for a moment. It may looked big and hideous but at least they knew, it can be hurt. So maybe, it can be killed too. The brunette reload her gun, while the blond huntsman kept slashing at it from its back. The thing lunged it's pipe as he quickly readied his shield. It send him far away. This shocked the Arc, so it was strong after. Claire kept focusing firing on its head. All zombies and lickers are vulnerable on the head. This one, was probably no exception. The horrid creature was now as it charged straight at the brunette dragging the pipe. Jaune took the opportunity that it was going after his companion, running and stabbing Crocea Mors on the back.
"This thing's gotta go down."
"It must have a weakness! Keep attacking it on the front and I will continue from the back."
Claire nodded resuming firing her gun at the creature's head. Jaune gasped as it was about to charge the brunette with the large pipe. Using his shield to blocked the hit, he gave her the chance to avoid and get around it. The Redfield reload her gun before moving to the big gun. She took her grenade launcher putting new flame rounds. Maybe fire will kill it. She heard the blond shouting at her, warning her. The creature grabbed her head with it's gross mutated arm. The brunette retaliated using a flash grenade, while the Arc performed a barrage of attacks from behind. He had to give it credit, it was tougher than it looked. They were harming it, but not enough to put it down for good. The blond was certain by now, this thing must have a weak point. He saw Claire warning him to get back, pointing the grenade launcher. The huntsman ran off as she fired a flame round.
It was on fire and the Redfield shot another round. The freaking thing wasn't dying, it couldn't be immortal. Suddenly Jaune threw her a hand grenade. He must have found it laying around. Claire threw it while the thing was still on fire. The explosion staggered it, groaning and falling on one knee. Jaune regrouped with her. They needed to think of something. Because if they can't kill this thing. It will only be wasting ammo, and they still weren't out of this city yet. The Arc decided to change his weapon. Fusing the shield with Crocea Mors turning it into it's Great Sword mode. This surprise Claire a lot, not expecting his weapon could do that. Usually they will attack now that it didn't seemed like it was a threat. That's when on it's left shoulder, the giant eye opened. It was that obvious, why couldn't he figure it out before. The weak point was right in their noses the entire time.
"Claire! Aim at the eye!"
The brunette shot her gun right in the big eye on it's left shoulder. The creature screamed in pain. The Arc followed stabbing it, making staggered. But the eye closed. At least they knew know what was its weak spot and how to beat it. And the strategy to it open again was simple. Head shots hurt it and with enough hits, the eyes will eventually opened. The Redfield told the blond to take over as she changed to her grenade launcher. Hitting this thing hard will make the eye open a lot quicker. The huntsman was able dodged a strike from the pipe as Claire, fired the flame round. The creature was engulfed in fire making a scream. Jaune swore he heard it say something like" erry", he wasn't sure. Turning to his companion, she probably heard it too. It was down on one knew, Jaune took his chance to strike with a series of combos. Of course, aiming at its head.
Then the mutated creature recuperated and was able to hit the blond with the pipe. The Arc hit the ground hard, not having enough time to react and block the attack with his shield. Claire saw that, and got pissed, firing more flame rounds at the eye freak. At this point, she didn't care if she ran out of ammo. It was tough, but she wasn't giving up. Jaune was bale to get up, thanks to his aura that attack didn't hurt him in the least. But it proved it was strong. Without his aura, he might have broken a few bones. He saw the Redfield reloading her grenade launcher so he went to get its attention. The blond hit Crocea Mors in great sword mode on the ground a couple of times making a loud noise. That was enough as the eye creature was swinging the pipe around. Giving the brunette for reloading. She gave the thing hell firing two more shots. Looks like it was over as it dropped the pipe.
A sudden roach shocked both of them as the creature lunged at Claire. Grabbing her by the neck. The Arc charged in stabbing it's arm, but it wasn't hurt. The creature hit him with the hideous arm losing Crocea Mors. Blue eyes widened as the it was planning to kill the brunette, choking her to death. His weapon was on the other side. He could go and get it, but by the time he does, it might be too late. Desperate to save her, the blond huntsman took Marvin's handgun. Remembering what the Refield told him, he hold the gun with both arms pointing at the head. No hesitation when the target was on his sight and, pulled the trigger. It was direct head shot as the thing dropped the brunette, she was gasping for air but she will be fine. The big eye has opened again and Jaune's eyes were fixed on it. Another shot, that hit the eye and the creature roared in pain. It walked back hitting a railing falling off.
"That...Did it" he was shocked still holding the handgun.
Claire walked over to the railing, it was dark unable to see what happened to that thing.
"Is it dead?"
"Let's hope so. Wouldn't want to face it again. Not bad Jaune."
"Yeah. I was able to hit a head shot and the eye."
"I'd say your learning quicker than I thought."
"I have a great teacher" he smiled.
"Don't push your luck" Claire turned her head away as her cheeks got a little red from the compliment.
Putting the gun back on his pocket the blond huntsman picked up Crocea Mors. Marvin was right and so is his female companion. He can't always rely on his sword. This outbreak was completely different than his journey as a huntsman. Fighting zombies who were once human and maybe, that thing too. If it wasn't because he was taught how to use a fire arm, just now. Claire would probably been dead by that creature. Guess there was plenty of time to learn something new. The blond can still improve and get better, he knew that. The weapon were old models or as Ruby calls them, the classics. But they were reliable in this world. Sheathing the sword putting it again on his waist, he followed the brunette further as there stood a ladder. But it wasn't activated. They needed it, if they wanted to proceed. There was only one person that can help them right now.
"Hey! Little girl…!?"
"The monster's gone. So you're safe now" replied the blond huntsman.
"We're not going to hurt you. Please, we could really use your help."
"She's obviously scared" followed the Arc.
The girl has suddenly emerged from the top floor next to the ladder. Jaune was able to take a long look at her attire. Blue ribbon, a square jacket with the colors blue, light blue, white and dark blue, a short sleeve white blouse. Blue short below her knees with dark blue socks and white sneakers. It looked like a school uniform. Remembering the uniform from Beacon. He was right, looking at her, she was scared. Who wouldn't after seeing that thing, whatever it was.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I promise. Everything's fine."
"I promise too. You also have my word" smiled the Arc.
"You…." the blond girl took a look at him" are you a knight?"
"You bet I am" he flashed another smile.
"Like the ones from fairy tales? Slaying a dragon and saving the princess…."
"I'm a knight. But not that cliché. Still you can count on me to protect you from any dangers. My sidekick here, will protect you too."
"Sidekick?" Claire raised an eyebrow.
"Just go with it" he whispered before smiling again to the little girl" think you can lower that ladder for us?"
"Will you help me find my mom?"
"Of course we will. Is she around here?" Jaune didn't hesitated he was definitely helping this girl.
"I think so. I hope so."
"Of course, we'll help you" replied the brunette.
The little girl gave a small smile as she went over and pressed a button on a panel. The ladder was lowered. Jaune let Claire climbed first, he followed shortly. As they arrived at the top floor, they had a better look at the little girl. Yep, she definitely resembles his youngest sister. It was the same face and hair length. It made Jaune care more for her. Someone so young was in this whole mess. Now that the Arc thought about just, how many kids like this one were involved. Or how many are gone, or have turned to zombies. The blond erased those horrible thoughts. Little kids dying, that was something he could never tolerate. That's why helping this girl was the most important thing to do. More important than leaving this city. The brunette next to him, noticed something was bothering him. He was the kind of person to think and worry too much. The girl stood a little shy, she didn't know these people. But they were willing to help her find her mom.
"Hi, I'm Jaune and this is Claire. What's your name?"
"Sherry…."
"It's a nice name. Don't worry we'll find your mom."
"Thank you Jaune."
"It's a knight's job to help the innocent" he smiled.
"Sherry, do you know this place?" asked the Refield.
"I've been here for a little while. I know the way out. This way."
"Let's stay close" said the blond.
Sherry went ahead with the two following her. They arrived to a control room where there stood a lever. The blond girl said to pulled so Jaune did. It was moving a large platform to their direction. They knew where to go while she seemed to be comfortable around them. That was a good thing.
"So...What's your mom like?" asked Claire.
"She works at Umbrella. She's working on an important new medicine."
"Umbrella?" the Arc stood worried, they were the ones responsible for the mansion incident and maybe, the outbreak in Raccoon City" and what's this of new important new medicine?"
Whatever it was the blond huntsman didn't like it. If a company like Umbrella makes viruses to changed people into zombies and other types of creatures. This new medicine must not be a medicine at all. Sherry obviously doesn't know anything. Her mother will never tell her the truth. This girl was just a victim without knowing about it.
"Umbrella? That big pharmaceutical company?" the brunette pretended like she didn't know, after reading her brother's diary, now she knows.
"My mom's always at work. I don't get to see her much."
Jaune mentally sighed, so she was a workaholic. She probably doesn't spend any time with her daughter. Poor Sherry must feel lonely not having her mother around. She was a sweet and nice kid. Just like his youngest sister. He would never do that. His sisters might be a pain in the butt, but he still cares for them and will spend time with them. The huntsman was already attached to the girl.
"Well, hopefully you'll get to see her soon" said the brunette" so...Where's your dad?"
"He, um...Worked with my mom but...He's gone."
"Did something happened to him?" asked the Arc.
"He just left during his and mom's research. I haven't seen him in a while. And my mom hasn't said a word either."
Jaune had a feeling something bad has really happened to her father. While he was in thought, Claire opened a locker finding another hip pouch. This time, she gave it to him and he caught it on time. He put it around his waist with Pyrrha's red sash.
"Wow...Both of my parents are gone-It's just me and my bother."
The Arc was shocked. This was a new piece of information from the brunette. He had a feeling it was that. No wonder she's so caring about her brother. She will worried so easily for his safety, because he's the only family she has left. Now, he was able to understand her anger when she found out he left alone to an Umbrella facility. The blond turned to his female companion, as she was gazing at him. A smile spread her lips as, she didn't minded telling him.
"Oh, I'm sorry...What about you, Jaune?"
"I...I have my parents and my seven sisters…."
"You have seven sisters?" Sherry blinked in surprise.
"I know, I know. That's a lot of siblings. But, they're very far away. I don't know when I will see them again, or my friends."
"I hope you can see them again."
"Yeah, me too…." he whispered but Claire heard him.
"In a way, it means we've got something in common and...That's a good thing, right?"
The trio finally reached a dead end but, there was a ladder. Jaune volunteered to check it out. As he climbed it, it was so dark. Maybe, something was blocking the exit. And he was right. At the end of the ladder he touched something solid. A lid, a manhole lid. The huntsman didn't had a problem removing the heavy object. The Arc gazed at where the passage way has lead them. He was able to recognized the area from Elliot's notebook. It was the parking lot of the police station. This was the way out. He felt so happy and relief that they did it. The blond left, letting Claire and Sherry. There were a few cars parked, a van with the initials SWAT. A police car outside of a metal fence. Next to it, the controls. If they can open that fence they will be home free. But, it shouldn't be that easy. Not on a zombie outbreak. Something bad must always happen. There was no such thing as an easy way out.
"Over there!" Sherry ran to the controls of the large gate" it's closed…."
"Sherry, let's be careful" Jaune felt like there weren't alone.
"Dammit. We need a key card."
"I knew it wasn't going to be that easy" the Arc gave a sigh.
"Come on" Claire thought, maybe they can lift it up.
"Here, come help."
"Whatever to get the job done" the blond agreed.
The three tried to lift the gate, but it wasn't budging. It must be connected to the device that needs the key card. Maybe, using hid aura might help. There's been a few times he used to increase his strength. He was sure, he'll be able to lift the gate. But doing that might freak the brunette and the little girl. Exposing his special abilities. New world, new rules and he was that certain people aren't this strong here. He was an exception.
"And you're sure this is the way?" asked the Redfield.
"This is how my mom took me last time."
"Sherry!?"
Jaune quickly drew Crocea Mors hearing an unfamiliar voice. He knew they weren't alone in the parking lot.
"I've been looking everywhere for you, Sherry…."
The person emerged from the shadows. It was an older man looking in his mid fifties with gray hair and mustache, wearing a gray and white suit. On his right shoulder he had a card that said" parking permit". That has to be the key card that will open the gate. This guy has it. Something about him, Jaune didn't like.
"Brave little girl to leave your house in the middle of this mess…."
"Who are you?" asked the blond huntsman.
"On the ground, hands behind your head" he draw a gun.
"You can't be serious…."
The older man gave a warning shoot, shooting near by the trio.
"On the ground, now."
"What do you want with Sherry?" the Arc obeyed lifting his hands.
"That's none of your business kid. You're too early for Halloween."
"Here we go again" he mentally sighed.
"Sherry, tie their hands" he threw her some rope.
"Why're you doing this-"
"Shut up. Tie them."
"Something tells me you're not planning to take her to her mother" Jaune glared at the man.
"You will be surprise. I know them very well, those two."
"Her parents?" asked Claire.
"Enough. Sherry, do it, or else…."
Before the little girl could react the Arc drew his handgun but the man has hot him in the middle of his chest sending him to the ground.
"Jaune!" shouted the brunette before glaring at the older man" you son of a bitch!"
"No…." Sherry muttered shocked.
"See what happened sweetie, when you don't listen. Now, obey or she will join him."
The blond girl immediately nodded as she tied up the brunette. Claire's eyes were on the blond male. He was breathing, so he was alive.
"What's this about?"
"Child endangerment, for starters" the man took the card and used it on the control panel, opening the gate" Sherry, come here."
"What are you gonna do to her?"
"None of your fucking business."
"If you hurt her, I swear to god, my brother is S.T.A.R.S, and I will fucki-"
He kicked the brunette as Jaune got up glaring at him. He pointed his gun but the older man reacted on time and was now pointing his weapon at his companion.
"If you make one move, she dies. At this distance, I won't miss. Think carefully."
"….…..."
"I'm impressed you're still standing after getting shot. Even with that silly costume. it's not every day anyone will get back to their feet as if nothing happened. At least, a human anyway."
"Jaune, don't let that bastard get away with Sherry!" shouted the Redfield.
"I doubt she'll be able to survive a bullet to the head."
The blond huntsman kept glaring at him. Sure, he can survive getting shot. Though he admitted the bullets from this world hurt a lot than the dust rounds from Remnant. Even with his aura and armor, the force from the bullet hurt him. But obviously, it was all healed now. Claire however, she wasn't going to live through it. If he moves, he will shoot at her and after, he might shoot Sherry. He gritted his teeth as he lowered his gun.
"You did the right thing. Now Sherry, get over here."
The girl hesitated but he wasn't kidding around" what's your name?"
"Fuck you!"
"I said what's your fucking name?" he pointed the gun on the brunette's forehead.
"Claire!"
"Sherry, you come with me now or say goodbye to Claire!"
"OK, OK! I'll go! You better be taking me to my mom."
"Absolutely."
"Don't listen to him! He's full of shit!"
He hit the brunette again and that was the last straw.
"Not on my watch" the huntsman set his eyes on the older man.
He raised his gun and shot him on his left shoulder. Suddenly a pack of dogs arrived at the parking growling, they were all hungry for blood. The man who was the chief of the Raccoon Police took Sherry and left as the gate started closing. Jaune saw them leaving, it was too late to follow them. They were long gone. He fired his gun but it was empty, he was out of ammo. The blond put the handgun away drawing Crocea Mors, before helping the Redfield on her feet. The blond fired a couple of shots hitting a few of the dogs while the others stood their ground growling at the two.
"I'm sorry I let him take Sherry."
"You okay?" she quickly asked checking on him while keeping her eyes on the undead hounds" you got shot….'
"I'm fine. See, my armor protected me, it didn't even scrape it" he removed the small piece of lead" there you have it. It's more than a Halloween costume."
The brunette was really taken back he would survive. Even with armor that looked like it could be stronger than a bulletproof vest. He should at least being hurt. But Jaune, he didn't looked hurt in the least. There was no time for that, seeing that they weren't alone.
"Claire I...I'm sorry I couldn't react faster. I should have stop him from taking Sherry.
"It's not your fault, that fat son of a bitch is going to pay. I need to get rid of my anger" she took her gun shooting a dog on the head staggering it.
"We have the perfect targets."
Claire didn't wasted time shooting the dogs as they almost touch her. Those that went after the Arc were cut down by his sword or hit with his shield. Until they were all dead. The brunette put her weapon away, still she wasn't feeling better. Something caught her eyes on the ground. A golden pendant.
"What is that?" asked the blond.
"A pendant. It must have fell off from Sherry when that bastard took her."
"Don't worry Claire, we'll find her."
"Damn right, we will."
"Still. He said he knows her parents. Is he really planning to take her to her mother?"
"I don't trust him one bit. He's up to something."
"We're not going to wait. Let's find a way out of here."
"Right, we need to find a key card like the one he had."
"Time for key card hunting, then" the Arc gave a smile first medallions and now a key card.
"If it makes you feel better, I was originally aiming at his head."
Claire only shook her head with a smile. That was nice but at least that bastard got hurt, though he deserves more than a bullet to the shoulder.
To be continued
-I like this version better of how Jaune shot that bastard Irons but I prefer a slow painful death. Honestly this version of Irons is creepy and mess up. Though Capcom kept the originality of him being a taxidermist before being chief of the police. Also we get a glimpse of the body of the mayor's daughter at the orphanage. Poor mayor's daughter again she has to play the dead girl in this game too. Not a word from her and we will never know her name either.
-I decided to make the dogs a bit smarter than they are in this version. That's why they didn't attacked Jaune and Claire quickly. They see them armed and that's not good for them unless they have numbers on their side. There were around six and Jaune took two out with his gun before taking out the rest with his sword.
-I like making Jaune bonding more with Sherry than Claire. I bet she does look like one of his younger sisters.
-I lol when Claire asked Jaune is he was a descendant of Jeanne D' Arc. With his last name, anyone would think so.
-Important announcement I just added another challenge story at my profile page. It will be titled" Resident Huntress". That's right it will be the version of this story but instead of Jaune that ends up in the RE2 remake verse it's our sweet bad ass red cloak reaper Ruby. In this story she will be joining Leon throughout his story. It can either be A or B scenario whatever the challengers wishes. Remember if you're interested in taking this story or any of my other challenge stories in my profile page just PM me to let me know.
-Replying to reviews:
*CT7567Rules- yep I'm going with the Remington. It's obviously in the S.T.A.R.S armory along with Claire's MP 90 sub machine gun. But they need the dongle key to open the door.
*NecrorexSparda Juubi-No-Kishin- maybe someone will come up with a story that has the version of Jaune taking the G-virus. I'm hoping this story inspires other authors in writing more RWBY/RE crossover stories since there aren't enough in the section.
*The Rev- I know but in this story the weapons won't have infinite ammo. Have to make it as real as I can.
*Wolfpackerson09- maybe I still don't know if I can write such story. Maybe someone else will do it. Like I said, I'm hoping with this story many writers are inspire to write more RWBY crossovers with the RE series especially RE2 remake. Well if you can find someone that can write the Jaune/harem story then be my guest. I will give it a read, good luck.
*The Real Hell Fire- yep though it will be a short story I'm doing my best to develop the ship giving hints here and there. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
*K1NG and J0K3R- well it will be Claire since I'm focusing on her story obviously. But it won't be easy to convince her until she sees what he can do. And even so it will still be hard to believe him.
*Greer123- this new Claire seems to be more like worry/protective type. I mean when they finally reunited in Code Veronica she didn't even got angry at him for leaving and then she had to go through the outbreak in Raccoon City. Not a single hint of anger or a smack to the head. That's why I love this new Claire more, the voice actress and person who made the motion capture I think her last name is Panisello or something.
*The Emerald Mage- I understand your anger better than anyone. I hate what Vic has been going through for the past weeks. I just recently found out that it's all but a conspiracy from a face book group and from twitter that wants to kick him out of the anime business. And also twitter is suspending accounts on anyone who tries to defend him. There you have it, NO evidence, NO facts. Just stupid speculations to ruin this poor man's career. I even heard that there could be voice actors involve in this sham. Among them and I hope I'm wrong it's Monical Rial. I just watched a video on youtube about her tweets regarding Vic's situation and I didn't like it at all. Many people are pissed at her because she's probably trying to take out Vic so she can have more spot light. She even played the" victim" card my respect for this woman has gone downhill. I know that not all VA's will like each other VA's specially when they're more famous than others. But this is NOT how you approach the situation. God what has become of this world?!
*commandosquirrel- you know I've been thinking the same thing. Maybe with the upcoming DLC's for RE2 remake we might have a mercenaries or raid mode where you can play as Marvin, that will be awesome.
*X3runner- thank you for like this story and hope for your continuing support. And yeah I already know about the facebook group trying to take down Vic, they're using photoshop or manipulating pictures to make him look like he's really abusing them sexually. It makes me so sick to know that there are people like this in the world. What has Vic done that he deserves so much hatred?! Is it because he's a kind and caring person? That he loves his job and his fans even more. There's a video of him visiting a girl to the hospital because she was going to get an operation and she couldn't come to the con where he was going to be, she was really upset about that. And instead Vic visits her. Seriously has there ever been a VA who would go that far for just ONE fan?!
*Animeak116- don't know. Usually in other stories I put the music but not the lyrics except for a few exceptions. And true about what you said about Vic's situation. I got tired of ranting.
*warrior of six blades- lol of course the diary wasn't in the remake. It was in the original but it sounded different from this one. Because it was told from my POV. But I also wish there was a diary in this version and yeah I didn't like that Chris's note of his vacation. Claire said it herself" that does now sound like Chris". Of course it has to be a cover up for his true intentions for leaving. And yeah I have made a few bloopers or errors in the matrix with this story, I admit and I'm sorry. But we've seen characters like taking a blast from Torchwick's cane and get back on her feet like nothing happened. Obviously Jaune's aura protected him from the flame rounds. Claire will eventually realize it and come to terms with it as the story progresses that he's not normal.
*Noblevampire1071- I understand your concern but I can assure you that I'm not nerfing Jaune. He will show what's head off through this story. Of course he can take on zombies with only his sword. But he will eventually have to rely on weapons to take out enemies in distance.
*oro03910- already know and thanks for reminding me.
*Zilla- lol but I'm still upset thanks for cheering me up. And yeah I reached over a 100 reviews in the first 4 chapters holy shit.
*Ray Q Cina- thank you for liking the story. And yeah I also wish there were more RWBY/RE stories too.
*Guest- yes I think Chris's trademark is the punching boulder from RE5. He must have been lifting boulders to get that strong.
*Guest- indeed it must be because they're the main characters and they have plot shields. Not in this story that's why I'm making sure Claire doesn't get bit. Not with Jaune having her back.
*merged zamasu- I like your idea for the story give it a shot. I'll read it if you do.
*Valerious Lake- thank you I hope you continue to like the story and I will continue to improve it as much as I can.
*Guest- the update schedule of this story is a new chapter every 3 or 4 days. Which it's not that bad in my opinion. Also since I'm currently writing ch9 as I speak. Updates will be quicker.
-As always thank you very much for the favs, follows and reviews I really appreciate it.
