Chapter 11 No turning back
(Location: Sewerage system below Raccoon City Arklay county mid western USA)
Jaune amd and were still sighing in relief, standing behind the door. The place they were just in. It hasn't been the first time since arriving at the sewers where they had to get part of their clothes wet, in dirty water. But this area, it was a whole lot different. They encountered new types of creatures. Not zombies, or dogs, or lickers. But things that can only be created by the G-virus. Rejected samples from William after inserting G-embryo into countless people. One of them, being the chief of police Irons. There were so many of them and they managed to get across thanks to their weapons. Claire could still feel the slimy disgusting thing when it grabbed her. If the blond had never shot it, who knows. That was another saved by him. Just when she thought things couldn't get weirder, they do. It was so obvious this place was affected like the rest of the city. They needed to survive here too.
Just how long was this place. Taking a look at the map of the sewers, it was big. It might take them longer than they thought to get to where Sherry is. Neither said a word as they were thinking the same thing. The little girl fell unconscious the last time they saw her. Of course they were worried about her. More than her mother because she was more concern of working, whatever she was working on. Or maybe studying her monster husband who was infected by the G-virus. If Jaune sees her again, he will give her a piece of his mind. No parent should treat their child like she does. Seriously, Sherry's her daughter and she doesn't care of her current condition in a city under a zombie outbreak. The Arc was doing all of this for her, but he will never forget Claire and Leon. There was also the chance if he can return back to his world after escaping this city. The huntsman checked all of his weapons, making sure they're loaded.
The Redfield did the same thing. They might have escaped the worse place in the sewers. But, they weren't out of this mess yet. Turning to the blond she smiled with his last comment. No way in hell they were back tracking. Those things were so ugly. Still, lickers are uglier in her book. Then, there was their conversation while they were traveling that watery path. Why did she asked him about if he had a girlfriend. Why should she care, it wasn't her business. Yeah, Jaune told her he was from another world, which she still didn't believed him. But the way he talked about his friends, he was so sincere. Clearly, he misses them a lot. He was single, that's what it matters. The brunette cursed mentally, that was so selfish of her. The guy was in the middle of this shit and she was only caring that he didn't had someone, to be intimate with. Certainly not the best time or place to be thinking of such.
After composing themselves they resumed their search. Climbing a staircase leading up to a metal railing to a dead end corner. Nothing of interest, so the duo kept going forward. They could still hear the G-creatures even when they were already far away from them. Paying no attention they arrived at a wide area with more railings. Climbed down the stairs there was an elevator, but it was closed. Next to it was a control terminal where a plug in goes. The picture was visible, it was the Queen chess piece. So they needed the Queen plug to gain access to the elevator. Jaune tried not to sigh of course they needed to find the missing plug ins to proceed. It will always be complicated, never an easy way. Not that far there were more control terminals one had a plug in. They took the Queen plug in piece. Metal doors with control terminals, yep it was another puzzle. There was no easy way, just the hard way.
Claire put the Queen plug where it rightfully belongs. The red light turned green and heard the sound of a door opening. They were making progress, so it was all good. Along the way, they spotted a zombie that was crawling. An easy target as the Arc drew Crocea Mors and killed it stabbing it in the head. Climbing some stairs they saw another terminal with the King Plug in placed, taking it they went to find the correct terminal where it belongs. Eventually, the team found the control terminal and place the King Plug as the light turned green, and the door next to it opened. The duo were met by a weapon placed on a wall, hanged by some iron bars. It was colored yellow with black stripes in the middle and it sad Umbrella at the end. Jaune had no idea what it was as he looked at it. He has never seen a weapon like that before. But it didn't looked like a classic as Ruby puts it. The brunette grabbed the Spark Shot from its holding place.
No complaints. If it was here, it must be for a very good reason. After picking the new weapon the released the lock of a door. Entering they were met by another zombie. Both shoot it down with their handguns, after four head shots. Looks like it's been turned for a while if it took that many bullets to kill it. They backtracked taking the Queen plug back and the King plug. This puzzle was starting to annoy them. They knew, the point was to open the path to the elevator. They just needed to put the right pieces in their control terminals. It felt like they were running in circles. Jaune wasn't happy, he was starting to get frustrated about this and he wasn't the only one. Claire was muttering curse words putting the plug ins back and forth but it wasn't working. They were locked in with no way out. Now, the Arc was gaining a hatred for puzzles. Could they ever catch a break.
"For some reason…."
"I'm starting to hate chess" both finished the sentence before nodding.
"It's not that I never play it. It actually exists in my world. It's just, that I'm not really good at it."
"Same here. Fuck chess" the Redfield didn't had a problem expressing herself.
"Stupid plugs…."
Claire actually laughed at the Arc's comment. Maybe, things weren't that bad after all. He made her laughed lifting the move and changing the atmosphere into a happy one. If this place was anything but happy. Jaune actually felt a little better, gathering some patience to solve this annoying puzzle. Minutes later they realized they were wasting their time going around in circles and they finally knew what to do. They were in the wrong place. They needed to return to the room where all those control terminals are. Both took the two chess pieces and sadly, back track. The blond sighed and the brunette muttered a curse word, knowing they will have to go back to those G-monsters. On the good side, Claire will finally be able to test the Spark Shot. Returning to the dirty waters, both made a run for it. They encountered a few but they managed to avoid them.
Luck must be on their side as the duo went all the way back. Almost where the crashed elevator stood. Running a lot can take quite of you. Jaune knew that since he never usually ran so much back at Remnant. Arriving at the control terminals, they decided to take another look around, just in case they missed something. They had two plug ins so it should be able to help them solve this puzzle before going to the other one. That is if they can access that elevator. Their eyes went back to the bulletin board where there was a note. An important one, that they couldn't believed they didn't noticed before. The huntsman took it from the board. Definitely information that can help them with this annoyance of a puzzle.
"Pretty sure the rook and knight are on the same wall and the bishop and queen aren't next to each other. The queen and rook were opposite each other, too."
"It's only a hint. But, it's better than nothing" said the Redfield.
They decided to put the king and queen plug in on opposite side. Heading back to where the G-creatures are. Seriously, this was becoming a real pain in the ass. This was more complicated than any puzzle they did at the police station. As they run through the sewerage waters they noticed there was a closed door. Another detail they missed due that they were focusing on fighting the monsters. It had a similar handle so they used the red lever tool to open it. There was some sub machine gun ammo on a corner, along some shot gun ammo. Finders keepers putting them on their hip pouches. There was a moving platform as they pressed the switch that took them to the second floor. It was some sort of workplace where they fond handgun ammo and another hip pouch. Jaune let Claire have it. If they find another one, he will take it. Followed by another roll film. They will have to keep it until they can get to a dark room. The blond stabbed the head of a zombie on the ground before going to a locked door.
Releasing the lock the duo were in another corridor with a steel railing. Blood on the floor, near them. And a zombie heading their way. The team fired their hand guns killing it with four head shots, two for each. They killed two more undead until the area was cleared. Going to the end they saw a door with a sing that read" Treatment Facility". They already had the key so they opened the door. Nothing catch their attention for the moment so they went back. Finally, the duo went over to another control terminal where there was a plug inserted. It was the rook plug. They took it and went to head back now that they have all of the chess piece plug ins. Maybe, they can finally solve the stupid puzzle once and for all. There was another door that needed the treatment facility key, they opened it entering the worker's break room. Nothing out of the ordinary, they went to take a closer look.
The duo went to the lockers, taking more handgun ammo and shot gun shells. At least they have plenty of ammunition if they run into a strong enemy. There was a large locker with yellow tape crossed over in the shape of an" X". It was odd but they were able to see a hole on the other side. Both pushed the locker revealing a secret passage. An elevator. Entering the elevator went up. It lead to a floor where there was some concrete cement, among other things. Claire found more sub machine gun ammo, taking the stairs leading up and a locked door. Releasing the lock they entered a very familiar place. Even if it was dark, it was indeed familiar for the two. They've been here before. Eyes widened finally realizing the area. They were back at the underground passage below the statue of the goddess located at the main hall, of the police station. Who would ever think the sewers and this passage were connected.
Jaune could read what the Redfield was thinking. Back at the office when taking the entrance of the goddess there was the same type of handle where the red lever tool can be used, even if there was no door. More back tracking, it was a real pain. But the huntsman won't argue if it helps them proceed forward and get to Sherry. The duo went to the elevator leading back up to said office. Same place where the brunette taught him to shoot. That made the blond smiled. As they arrived at the office, Claire used the red lever tool. The effect the entrance of the goddess was opened. So that was the switch to open it all along. Way easier than finding the three medallions. The Arc thought positive. Now, that they were back at the police station they can go to the dark room and see the roll of film they found at the sewers. Also, didn't Jill said she was heading to the station. Maybe, she was still here.
Claire suddenly suggested to return to the sewers. Looks like she was worried about Sherry. The blond understood her. Besides, there was no need to return to the station. Though he was hoping Jill was all right. They returned to the elevator heading deeper into the underground passage. After they took the other elevator they will return them to the employees break room. With the rook piece plug in they have all of them. Now, it was a matter of solving the puzzle to open that door. As they returned to the control terminals room they kept in mind the note they read. The rook and knight go in the same wall, and the queen is supposed to go on the other side facing the rook. So the correct order should be on the left side pawn, queen and king on the right side bishop, rook and knight. Both did their best and suddenly they saw the sound of the lock being released. They have finally opened the door.
"We did it. Finally" smiled the Arc.
"About damn time. I was getting pissed from this puzzle."
"You ain't the only one. Let's go and find Sherry."
The Redfield gave a nod, entering the new room. Climbing down the stairs, they seemed to arrive at the waste disposal center. Sherry should be around here somewhere. They saw a lever as the brunette pulled it down, it didn't worked. Obviously the power must be out. So they needed to find the power unit and switch it on. Entering another room they saw the power unit. A little too easy, but they didn't complained. As the duo went to check the switches they realized it wasn't going to be easy to bring back the power. This was great, just what they needed another damn puzzle. There were two screens with a needle showing the level of power input. Each had a red line, where the needles are supposed to go. So they needed to flip the switches on or off from red to green, and make sure the needles land on those red lines. Easier said than done. Jaune sighed, he already knew this was going to be a pain and Claire was feeling the same way.
The key was to flip the four switches in a certain order. A couple of minutes later, they were able to placed the needles on the red lines. They heard the sound of an engine, the power was back. Another puzzle solved as both smiled. Now, they were hoping to finally get to Sherry. As they were about to head for the door, Jaune saw the ceiling being ripped. He grabbed the brunette out of the way as a large sharp claw emerged. It destroyed the door along with the path. Also the attack caused sparks hitting a near by machine, catching fire. Now, they couldn't leave, they were trapped. What the hell was that. The Arc drew his shield and Crocea Mors. The claw emerged again as he blocked it with the shield. They needed to get out of here and fast. The claw kept emerging from above as the Arc kept blocking it and countering with his sword. They were cornered here, giving whatever was attacking them the advantage. Having the high ground.
Claire was also firing, until it stopped. The duo stood still waiting for another attack. A loud noise made them gasped as a shutter in the room was destroyed by the same claw. Taking a better look, both were shocked. It was William, Sherry's father. The same form the creature has taken when it killed Mr. X. This wasn't good. Jaune was hoping they wouldn't have to fight it so soon. But if they were near Sherry's location it will explained why the G-monster was here too. The Redfield fired her acid round staggering it for a little. Enough time for them to leave the place and get away. If they were taking it on, they needed space. They ran through a path with railings, climbing down there was a large metal crate tied to a crane. Next to was a controls for the crane. They looked at each other knowing what to do. Seeing that the other side looked like a bottomless pit.
"I don't think it will fell so easy for this trick. It will be better if someone fights it head on while the other gets the chance to use the crane and hit it with that crate."
"Let me guess, you want to fight it head on?" Claire didn't like it.
"I can handle myself. Back me up. When you see that it's been weaken, press the button."
"Just don't get it in the way" she readied her grenade launcher.
"Thanks" he smiled taking his shot gun.
He ran away from the crate seeing G-Birkin walking towards him. The Arc raised his hands up and down to get his attention. Looks like it worked. Now, the good thing about this whole thing, they already knew it's weak spot. That big eye on its shoulder. If they shoot it, it will hurt the creature. But the huntsman kept in mind that it was stronger from the last time they fought it at the underground passage. So asides his shot gun, he was using his shield. It was going to be tough using the weapon with one arm because, he usually uses weapons with both his hands. The shot gun was heavier than his handgun and the magnum python. Yet, he wasn't scared in the least. This whole experience has made him stronger in a way. Also Claire has his back. Just like he fought trenchy, using his aura for offense will help too. Both the huntsman and the G-creature stood behind the large steel crate.
William attacked the blond with it's giant claw but he blocked it with his shield. Using his aura to increased his strength, he was able to sent the creature back. Pointing the shot gun right at the eye, he fired two shoots. It growled in pain before it got hit by acid rounds courtesy of the Redfield. The blond performed an aura charge hitting it with his shield sending crushing to a wall. He followed it up with shooting his weapon until it was empty. Jaune yelled Claire to cover him while he reloads. She kept firing acid rounds until she was out. The brunette quickly changed to the Spark Shot, finally wanting to test it. One shot and the G-creature was electrocuted, growling in pain. When the blond was done reloading his shot gun he changed to Crocea Mors fusing it with his shield, using its two handed sword mode. When the electricity faded, he charged aiming at the eye.
Jaune stabbed his weapon right in the eye as William was in pain. But not before grabbing him with his immense claw arm. Claire shouted worried for him. The huntsman focused his aura breaking through it's grip, then he used his combat knife on the monstrous head. Removing the weapon from the eye, he kept attacking it with a series of combos. The huntsman followed it up with firing his shot gun. The Arc took a few steps back, right next to the metal crate. By now, it should have been weakened enough. He knew his companion was waiting for the right moment. Sheathing his sword and shield, he kept firing his shot gun as the creature sounded angry charging at him. It was easy to avoid its attacks, as he took cover the brunette fired the Spark Shot again. It was time to bring the big gun as the blond has taken his magnum python. There were three bullets left, so he will make them count before he can reload.
The laser pointing at the eye as he fired once. Another growl came from the G-creature. It charged again but the huntsman dodged jumping, taking his knife and stabbing the eye. While it was hurt, he removed it and was about to aim at the eye again with his magnum. But William grabbed him yet again, wanting to crush his body like a twig. The Arc was using his aura, increasing his strength to break free once more. But he had a better idea. He changed strategy to the usual aura defense and no matter how hard the monster was trying, it was unable to crush him. It's like his body was harder than steel. There was no way, he will be broken no matter how strong it has become. Now that it was busy on him, it was the perfect chance. The creature has forgotten its other opponent. This was it, Jaune turned to the Redfield time to put a stop to this thing for good.
"Claire NOW!"
The brunette was worried that he was still in the monster's group, but she stilled pressed the button. The steel crate was moved the other way as the crane was going to do a, 180 degrees turn. The blond broke free from William as it pointed the magnum at his eye and fired the last two remaining rounds. That was enough to bring it to its knees. It was in pure pain and it was hard for it to recover from so much damage it has taken. Jaune heard the brunette yelling at him that the crate was coming. He saw it, he didn't had time to get away so he crouched to ground level. The steel crate passed him by inches as it hit the G-creature sending it to the dark pit, it's inhuman yell echoed throughout the area. The huntsman got up smiling to his companion, they have done it again. Taking a the box of magnum ammo to reload his weapon. Looks like he had five more bullets left.
"I better save them for an emergency. In case I don't find any more ammo."
"Hope it's finally dead, this time" Claire gazed at the dark pit.
"Yeah. Let's hope that was the end of William. Or, whatever was left of him" the Arc never realized how wrong he was.
"Let's get going. I hate that this is taking forever with Sherry."
"Right. Let's just find her already" he couldn't agreed more.
After leaving the battle ground they duo climbed some stairs leading up. There was a door and they released the lock, unlocking it. They were back at the waste disposal area. Claire saw the lever with a red light above, showing it has power. She pulled it down, changing the light to green.
*Sherry? Mommy's here….*
The sounded like Annette. They were waiting for the large door to opened.
*Sherry! Sherry, can you hear me!?*
As the door opened they were shocked seeing the little girl was still unconscious. They ran to her, checking her pulse. She was alive, but something was wrong with her. Jaune glared, if only they didn't took so damn long to get here.
*You two….* Came Annette's voice from the surveillance room.
"Hey!" shouted the Arc upset" are you going to stay and watch or do something about it!?"
The huntsman lifted her body. Her right eye had such a strange red scar. She didn't had that before. But someone, the blond had a bad feeling about it.
*What are you doing?*
"We're here to help!" replied the brunette.
"Unlike you, we care about Sherry's well being. Or do you want to prove us wrong?!"
There was a short silence before Annette spoke up *Sherry's been implanted...She can't be saved….*
"Implanted?" Jaune was shocked feeling his face turning pale" you don't mean…."
*It's too late for her. William has infected her with a G-embryo. She will eventually become like him….*
"No…." the blond was so shocked.
"Are you fucking kidding me!? You're her mother. Get in here!" now Claire was pissed.
*You don't understand. William is still out there, and if I don't stop him-*
"This conversation is over!"
"That doesn't matter. What matters right now, is that your daughter needs help. She's your priority, not your husband or your stupid research to begin with. What kind of mother let's her own child suffer like this?!"
Jaune grabbed her, carrying her bridal style. What to do now. Where to take her. If she was infected then there was nothing they could do. No, he couldn't give up. He was ready to tear up.
*Wait! Wait...I can treat her...In my lab. It's not far away.*
"Better late than never" muttered the Arc.
"Mommy…?" spoke Sherry, she was awake.
*There's not enough time...Millions of lives are at stake. Sherry...Mommy loves you, sweetie….*
"Then, prove it" said Jaune gazing at the camera" save her. Do whatever it takes. But, don't let her become like your husband."
There was another silence before the blond spoke again.
"Where's your lab?"
*Take the cable car. The wristband Sherry has is an electronic ID. With it, you'll gain access to it. The cable car will take you to NEST, the lab. Goodbye….*
The camera turned off.
"Don't worry Sherry, everything will be fine."
"We're here for you" followed Claire.
"Wh-Why are you doing this?" asked the little girl.
"Because we care" replied the Arc
"Thank you...Jaune, you really are a knight."
"I can't consider myself a knight yet, if I can't help save you."
The blond girl only smiled in return as she closed her eyes again.
It didn't took them that long to reached the cable car. Jaune was too focused in getting the girl to the lab. It was the same with Claire. Neither, saw the dead body near the cable car. As soon as the huntsman got closed to the doors they opened, reacting to Sherry's wristband. Then, the body was awake as a zombie. The Redfield saw it as she warned her blond companion. But it was too late. The blond yelled in pain looking down that there was a zombie biting on his lower left leg. The blood was visible. Glaring at the undead he squashed its brains, killing it. Blue eyes widened seeing the wound, he got bitten. Turning to the brunette, she was in shock. Her blue eyes were ready to tear up at the fact that he was now infected. Jaune ignored it for now as he entered the cable car. Followed shortly, by the Redfield. The Arc put the girl on the seat that was meant for two people, letting her rest.
He went to check on the controls to get the car working. They didn't had much time. While Claire was still shocked at what just happened. She wasn't helping him. The huntsman pulled down a lever. The door closed as the car started moving.
*This Tram is bound for NEST. Do not exit until the final destination is reached.
As the cable car was still moving heading for Annette's lab. The two decided to get comfortable while the rides last. Jaune got seated on the ground. Checking the bite wound, it was already healed thanks to his aura. But it didn't changed the fact that he's been infected with the T-virus. He ran a hand through his hair, a million thoughts were racing through his head. Many of them were of fear. Dying so young, never seeing his friends and family again. Of course the blond knew the risk of becoming a huntsman, putting his life at risk all the time. He always thought he was going to go down in an epic battle with an army of Grimm. Boy, he was so wrong. This is how it was going to end. Turning into a damn zombie. Turning to Claire, she was staring at Sherry, but he noticed when she was stealing glances at him. She was kind enough to removed her red leather jacket and put it on the girl. That made him smiled as he decided to bring a topic from out of the blue.
"Her name was Pyrrha…."
"Huh?" the brunette turned to him" what?"
"You asked me if I have a girlfriend…."
"Jaune, I don't think this is hardly the time for any of that. Sherry, and now you…."
"Just let me tell you, okay. I want to. I trust you enough. I did say, in a way she was my girlfriend, sort of…."
The Redfield didn't argued as she got seated next to Sherry, caressing her forehead.
"I met her before the Beacon initiation. Back then, I was so weak compare to the ones participating. I didn't even had my aura unlocked, and I didn't even know what it was to begin with. I know, sounds pathetic. And she, became my partner and unlocked it. She was so nice knowing my limitations. And she was also so strong and popular. I secretly wanted to be just like her. I made so many stupid mistakes, like getting my hands on those forged transcripts, pushing Pyrrha away when she was willing to offer her help, being Cardin's dog because he was blackmailing me, he found out about the transcripts and I almost made the biggest one. But good thing I knew the right thing to do, standing up to him and showing him that I'm a leader who cares for his team. I apologized thinking she wasn't going to accept it, but she did. She helped me with my training. I was so proud to be taking lessons from her."
Claire stood listening. It was so hard not to believe him when he sound so honest. Dammit, now she was starting to believe that he was telling the truth. That he was really from another world.
"My other mistake was having a crush on the wrong girl. So stupid to try and get her to like me when she wasn't interested in me, in the slightest. I was about to ask her to the Beacon dance before getting rejected. I mean, she didn't rejected me I saw her about to ask someone else. Someone, she was interested in. So, I went alone to the dance. I thought someone like me didn't stand a chance to have a date, but I was wrong. Turns out, Pyrrha wanted to ask me. That's right, the strong and popular girl wanted to go with me to the dance, she told me herself. I did danced with eventually and had a great time. I still couldn't believe it. I was thinking "what does she sees in me?". Why not go for someone stronger, better…."
"…...…."
"I'm oblivious, one of my weaknesses. During the Vytal Festival I knew something was bothering her. I never realized the great burden the headmaster gave her. She was met by a difficult decision that could change her life forever. Then, the attack happened. So many Grimm were all over Vale and Beacon. I-Okay, maybe I should skip to the part that matters. Don't want to bother you or make you think I'm crazier than you already think. During a crucial part in the battle, she kissed me…."
The Redfield turned to him shocked. He looked like he was ready to tear up.
"Right on the lips. I couldn't think, because it looked like it was all a dream. Then she got me out of danger as she went ahead to face a very strong enemy. And she knew, she didn't stood a chance, she knew she wasn't going to make it. As for me, I begged for my friends to go and help her, instead of being me the one to save her. Her partner and leader. She died on that night. At the same night, I found out she liked me. I never realize she felt that way for me or how long she had those feelings. I was so stupid to know, when it was too late. So in a way, I guess Pyrrha could have been my girlfriend if she was still alive. I know I would have developed strong feelings for her after everything she did for me" he dried his tears.
"I'm sorry for fucking up…." she said lowly" I should have never brought it up. I'm stupid too."
"No, don't call yourself that. You're not. You're tough and a survivor. I'm sure your brother must be very proud of the kind of person you've become."
She smiled feeling her cheeks heating up a little. She was trying to avoid getting embarrassed.
"You're an amazing person and very attractive. I'm shocked no guy or girl has attempted to ask you out."
"Like I said, that's not my thing. I'm not that kind of girl. I'm not desperate to hook up and settle down with a family. Many of my friends at college think that way, but not me. It's definitely not me."
"You're still young I'm sure you will find that perfect someone. Someday."
Claire turned to him in thought. Now she was trying to evade from tearing up.
"Not bad. Well done, Jaune. Bringing this topic to make me forget you got bit."
"Can't blame me for trying" he chuckled.
"I…." she mentally cursed tightened her fists.
"Nothing has changed. We need to save Sherry."
"But you-"
"She's what matters. I...I don't care what happens to me if it means we get to save her. I don't know, how much time I have left. Whatever it is, I want to use it to save her. Because if someone deserves a second chance, its her. She's just another victim of Umbrella."
"You deserve a second chance too" tears fell from the Redfield.
"Maybe. But I'm just like you, someone who can't stand watching people die in front of them and not being able to do a damn thing. Elliot, Marvin, Irons. There was nothing we could do for them. But Sherry, there's still time to make a difference. If we get to save her life then, everything we've been through was worth it. I won't have any regrets."
This made the brunette angry" what about your friends, in your world?"
"I thought you didn't believed me."
"Supposed I believe you. Are you going to leave them and your family behind, without a care in the fucking world?"
"I don't want to die Claire-"
"Then why the fuck are you talking like it's all over? You're not giving up on Sherry, so why are you giving up on yourself?"
"I only want to save her, as much as you. That's why I'm going to put my trust on Annette."
"And not put trust in yourself?" she was glaring at him" just give up and wait to turn into an undead fuck. When you give up, it's all over…."
"I'm a huntsman. My mission is to protect and save others. To put my life first above all others. I already knew that when I chose to become one. At first, I wanted to make my family proud by becoming a hero and following their footsteps. Since the Arc family comes from a long lineage of heroes. If it's too late for me, at least I can die as one by saving the life of an innocent little girl."
"….."
"Claire?" he saw her walking away heading to the controls of the cable car.
The brunette turned to him looking pissed" Jaune...Go fuck yourself."
"...…."
Little they didn't know that Sherry was awake, and she has heard everything.
To be continued
-Uh oh Jaune has gotten bit by a zombie. What could this mean for the huntsman? Will he turn, or will he turn into something worse?
-So how was that fight with G Birkin second form? I think I did good. Jaune didn't had a problem taking him on and I like him and Claire's teamwork to take it down.
-A little angst from Claire's part getting pissed at Jaune for his selfless attitude. Don't worry I won't turn this ship into angst field trip. Jaune has become someone very close to her, she won't stay mad at him. But its important in their development as a ship.
-I admit the chess plug in puzzle was a little confusing. But I wanted Jaune and Claire to get frustrated that they had to backtrack after finding the remaining plugs and trying to solve the puzzle. Yeah, fuck chess. I don't hate it, I play it but I suck at it big time. Also I hope I got the puzzle right because if I didn't. Another blooper to add lol.
It pissed me off that Annette just stood behind the cameras while watching Sherry infected. I wanted to slap her so hard and knock some sense into her. She was the one to be present there not Jaune or Claire. If she knows she was infected from the start then she should have taken her to NEST herself and treat her. Then again, after knowing the pain in the ass that is to get the cure for the G-Virus. It's meant for them to be the ones to find it.
Replying to reviews:
*Guest- I like DMC but not enough inspiration to make an AU with Jaune being Nero. Sorry. But you never know what the future might have in store.
*CT7567Rules- an MP4? And Jaune's shot gun is as powerful as it is. And if that's not enough there's always his magnum python. And yes his Remington holds 8 rounds sorry for not saying it.
*The Emerald Mage- you like the triple sandwich idea eh? We'll see what the future holds for this story. I do see Jaune being a perfect father figure for Sherry honestly. Not to mention she's blond and has blue eyes, anyone will think she's his real daughter and Claire being the mother lol. Thanks for the constant support and I don't know when I will resume Proving his Worth. Maybe after finishing this story.
*warrior of six blades- you and me both. I had to make Jaune punched him because I wanted to. I don't like Annette but I HATE Irons. I laughed when I read that magazine saying that he was a hero. I called major BS when he was a real sick bastard. He knew the truth of Umbrella all along. He might have also known about the mansion and the trap to set the members of S.T.A.R.S too. And all of those children that were taken as test subjects. It makes me sick thinking about it. Though I'm happy when Sherry threw that acid on his face making him looked like Two Face lol. As for Jaune being angry with Annette is pretty obvious he will feel that way. Sherry is such a sweet girl, yet she's infected and he mother wasn't planning on doing jack shit if it weren't for Claire to open her eyes. She deserves a good slap in the face. Not to mention she doesn't do shit to help her get to Nest or how to get the cure. At least in this story she told her and Jaune about the cable car bound for NEST. Finally, Jaune and Claire's relationship is getting stronger and with this chapter it has come to the conclusion that the Redfield really likes our blond knight.
*merged zamasu- like I said they would never stand a chance against them. And yeah black can just blow the fuck up of Remnant to prevent Ozpin's reincarnation cycle lol.
*Zilla- they will eventually meet up with Leon like in canon but not Ada since she's "supposed" to be dead.
*C rex- Tyrant or Mr. X vs Birkin. I say Birkin would win because he has the advantage in strength. Not to mention it keeps transforming until becoming the ultimate weapon. Now against Nemesis, they could be even. I see Birkin's third and fourth form more dangerous than his final form. I agree they should make a smash brothers type game with the BOW's of RE.
*Greer123- I think I can somehow bring Lisa into the story since she was a little girl and turn into a horrific monster but her mind remained human. Sherry would have ended up the same. And its true about the G-Virus' origin coming from her. I do my homework in the RE universe.
*KingofThunder989- thank you I hope you like this chapter too.
*X3runner- I don't think so she will. especially when he has gotten bitten. I just know Umbrella would love to get a blood sample. As for the last part, I really can't say.
*Justaquestion12- yeah maybe Re3 was before the events of RE2. I noticed those holes too. But I decided to change that in this story. Obviously Jill escape Raccoon City after Leon and Claire because she saw the nuke going off and they didn't.
*Guest- well here you go, the new chapter. And to let you know I'm currently writing the final chapter. Hope that gets you hype enough.
*Spartan Warlord- I don't think they have Cerberus Gun in the RE universe. We'll see what I can come up with. Since I'm planning to continue the story I might give him different types of knives. I will have to do some research since I'm not a weapon nerd like Ruby.
*commandosquirrel- maybe I will. This story has gotten so many positive feedback I might continue it after the RE2 story line.
*Drake G Reaper- I already made it clear that no one has aura in this world. Jaune and Claire will help Sherry through canon story, sorry.
*xXxRistKKKutter6969xXx- it does sound kinky to me. Depending of one's perverted level lol.
*Guest- Adding Oscar to the RE2 remake series yes. I just haven't added the story to my challenge list. I think it can be interesting with someone who is still training to become a huntsman while having Ozpin in his conscience.
*MidKnightMoonglow99- sadly since I'm following canon they're all dead except for Hunk obviously.
-As always thank you very much for the favs, follows and reviews I really appreciate it.
Next time: NEST
