Chapter 14 The Countdown
(NEST east side Umbrella Laboratory underground of Raccoon City Arklay county mid western USA)
After defeating William's third G form Jaune and Claire took the small elevator back up. That thing was stronger that its past forms. If it weren't for their firepower and teamwork, they would have been in big trouble. They were hoping that this time, its finally dead. The Arc while checking his weapons. His handgun was still good on ammo, the same with his shot gun and he didn't used his magnum. It was powerful so he thought to use it as a last resort. His female companion was the same, though she emptied all of the ammunition of the spark shot. She still had plenty of ammo from her other weapons so, no biggie. Now that they took care of that monster, they can finally return to Sherry. Both were hoping, that by now, Annette has managed to inject the antiviral agent on the little girl. Everything they went through to get it surely, it will be worth it. If they get to save her life.
It was a fact that so many people died during this outbreak. People they didn't know, never met but they were all innocent people. And their lives were all expandable by Umbrella. But those, they have met temporary like Elliot, Marvin it was something that weight on their shoulders. Hell, even Jaune felt some pity for chief Irons when he was nothing but a sick bastard and another pawn of the pharmaceutical company. Claire admired that trait of caring for those that don't deserve any compassion no matter how evil they are. It was nice and refreshing to have someone with such a kind heart. There was no doubt the blond was special, unique. Probably someone worth having as a friend, or more. The brunette tried not to blushed, this was certainly not the time to be thinking about her feelings. Though she was dying to tell him, to just get it over with once and for all.
The Redfield was no longer concern for her feelings, or Sherry's well being for the matter. It was Jaune. Ever since she first met him, there was something different about him. Something that sets him apart from the others. Asides, his clothing. She has seen enough that the blond was no normal human being. After seeing him taking explosions, getting shot and taking on that stalker bio trench coat freak. He possess inhuman strength. The brunette was in deep thought trying to make a connection. He wasn't from around here, that was for sure and his explanation to how he got to Raccoon City, no convincing enough. And let's be honest she will never believe his BS that he was from another world. It was just not possible. Maybe that all part of an act. Could it be amnesia. There were so many possibilities she could think of. Jaune was a good person, his heart in the right place and he has already done enough for her. Including saving her life on various occasions.
After doing some hard thinking, Claire was having an argument with her conscious. Mainly, it worried her how he will react if she tells him. He was so convinced he was truly from another world. Taking a big risk if she goes with this, he might hate her. That was the last thing she wanted. Surviving this outbreak together, has been an experience she will never forget. Though the circumstances were dire, the Redfield ended up meeting an amazing person. It feared her now, she might screw this up with the wrong words. Or they could be the right ones. As they left the east side arriving into the central station. They were almost there. Annette must be in the security room in the reception area where they left Sherry. They weren't running anymore, as they were passing the path with no railing arriving at the main shaft. Safety their ass, this was a good place for one to get themselves killed. That's when she stopped and the blond was no longer hearing her footsteps through the metal path.
"What's wrong?"
"I think...We should talk…."
"We can do that later-"
"No, we really need to talk."
"Claire, we're in a hurry. Remember, Sherry?"
"I know. I just need to finally say this to you. Can you tell me again how did you got here?"
"What?" Jaune raised an eyebrow, why was she bringing this now" I thought I told you."
"You weren't that specific. You said you found yourself near the gas station."
"That's about it. One minute I was traveling with my friends on a ship bound to Atlas and then just like that I was near the gas station. I'm not lying to you."
"I got that part and let's say that I believed you for a moment. That's you're from another world and all of that fairy tale shit you said."
"Claire, what's all of this about?"
"Maybe you're being delusional. That you're not from another world its all part of a traumatic experience and in truth...You have amnesia."
The Arc sweat dropped" so you think I don't remember anything? I know my name, I remembered my training and everything about my world, my family, my friends. And you say I went through something so horrific that it caused me to assumed I'm from another world. It's all amnesia?"
"That's part of the point" okay, so far he was taking it rather well than she thought.
"I already told you. It's okay if you don't believe me, I don't have a problem with it. You want to keep thinking I'm crazy, fine by me. But we shouldn't be having this conversation now."
"And with if I'm right? What if you really don't remember who you are and you...You're probably a strayed" she hesitated looking into his eyes" what if you're a test subject and you found a way to escaped? It could explained why you ended up at the gas station."
Jaune stood speechless at the brunette's claims" are you saying...I'm one of Umbrella's play things?"
"I'm not saying it's true. But it could be a possibility. I have every right to assume. I've seen you do things no normal human can do. You're super human, what do you want me to think?"
"Anything!" he suddenly snapped" you can start by calling me a person, a friend, a companion. Not a freak that was created on a test tube by an insane company. I said my part and I've been honest with you. I have no excuse to lie to you. And you said it yourself you don't believe me. So, why would you even come up with...Bullshit like that?!"
"Because I care dammit!" she snapped back" I care for you Jaune. And under these past couple of hours, I realized that you're...Important to me. Not just some companion or partner to watch my back throughout this hell hole we've been fighting. We survive together-"
"Stop" he cut her off" I've heard enough. You think I'm just a bio creature with amnesia that left his master's cage with no memories of my past. Fine, I can buy that. That means I'm not human. I don't have a heart, or feelings, I don't cry or get sad or get happy, or I don't know love, nor friendship. I'm just a mindless beast that wants to kill people or bite them. Oh yeah, I got bit so I might mutate into some sort of G-ultimate zombie. Thanks a lot Claire, that makes so much sense!"
Instead of slapping him the Redfield punched his face. And it hurt like hell. That must be his aura protecting him from attacks. She cursed while holding her right hand in pain. As for the huntsman, he was shocked. Still, the punch hurt him much. It was more the fact that she hit him that surprised him.
"No Goddammit! I'm only assuming because I want to help because like I said, I fucking care for you! And even if it turns out to be true, I don't care. You will still be my friend. Whether you were created by Umbrella or you're right about being from another world. But I understand if you want to be pissed at me. I should've never bring this up. I fucked up."
"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that. It did got my upset you would think that way but the only reason you did is because you care. You're very caring and I admire that. I know it must have angered you when we couldn't saved Elliot or Marvin."
"Except Irons. I don't give a fuck about him, he got what he deserved. I'm not entirely like you."
"I thought the same thing too" he smiled" Claire, thanks for being my friend and for being there for me. I don't know if I would be able to cope in this world if it weren't for you."
"You're not pissed at me?" God she was hoping he wasn't.
Jaune kept his smile as he hugged her. She has hugged him too many times, it was time he gave her one of his own. The Redfield wanted to tear up but she kept her tears and felt so relief and happy, he didn't hated her. It was such a big mistake to come up with excuses to justify the Arc's appearance and his origins. A quick reminder not to do that ever again. Well, that was one problem she could have avoided. Now if she can gather the courage to tell him the other thing. After the hug, they resumed walking the path heading to the reception. Once they were in, they ran opening the door to the security room. Sherry stood on the bed and Annette was right by her side. She seemed like she was resting. Who knows what was the last time she has had a decent nap. This can be considered as a good sign that she already injected the antiviral agent and it has been a success.
"Hey!" Claire saw Sherry awake running to her side.
"I knew you would make it" she turned to Jaune.
"Of course we'd made it. We did said we were coming back."
The girl smiled as she looked at her mother" my mom needs help."
"Annette?" the brunette touched her shoulder as she was up.
"Sh...Sherry...How are you?"
"I'm okay. But you don't look so good."
"Oh no…." the Arc saw the wound the blond woman had, it must have been when William attacked her that she got pretty hurt.
She got up but the wound hurt her body.
"Annette, take it easy" said the huntsman.
"Mommy!?"
"Hey, look at the screen."
The researcher gazed at it and her expression was of pure relief" oh, thank God."
"Did the antiviral agent worked?" asked the blond.
"Sherry's going to be all right?" followed the Redfield.
"She'll be weak for a little while but...Yes, she's free of the G-Virus."
"We did it…." Jaune felt like crying, after they did, it really paid off.
"Did you hear that?" the brunette smiled at the girl.
"Annette?!" the Arc saw the woman getting on the ground in pain" we need a first aid spray."
"I'm afraid that won't do. The wound is too deep. And it's a vital spot. I'm not going to make it."
"What happened to her?" asked Sherry worried.
"She was attacked by that monster-"
"Don't worry about me. Take my daughter to safety" she gave the Redfield another purple electronic chip with the roman symbol of the number 4 in it.
"You're coming with us" started the blond.
"No. I've had my share of evil deeds. I've witnessed horrible things they did to people, children. Like the ones from the orphanage as they were used as test subjects for the G-Virus. I'm just a monster like the rest of them and another expendable pawn of Umbrella. It happened to Dr. James Marcus, to George Trevor, then my husband and now...Me. Sherry, I'm sorry for everything…Forgive your foolish mother. Your life is what's important now-"
"We can't just leave her here" said the little girl.
"You're right, we can't."
"Like I said. We're taking her with us."
*Attention: Unauthorized removal of a [Level 4] virus detected. Facility lock down initiated. Self destruct system will begin when lock down is complete.*
"I don't like the sound of that" said Jaune.
"What does that mean?" asked the Redfield.
"It's the...Self-destruct code...In case the G-Virus leaves the building" replied Annette.
"Does that mean someone has taken the G-virus? Who else could be here asides from us?" the huntsman stood in thought.
"Please...Save my daughter...Both of you…."
"No…." Sherry was in tears hugging her mother.
"Claire, get her out of here. I need to talk to her before it's too late."
The brunette nodded knowing what he had in mind as she took the sobbing girl out of the security room. The Arc hated doing this, now when she didn't had much time left. But he needed to know. Otherwise, he might go crazy.
"Annette" he grabbed the woman who's life was fading" I'm sorry…."
"No need for apologies, I brought this upon myself. To be honest, I deserve far worse. You and Claire, were able to saved my daughter. I'll be forever in your debt."
"You have knowledge on the T-Virus?" he saw her giving a weak nod" how long does it takes to take effect?"
"Depends on the person that gets infected. It works on different types of human DNA, some might cause them to evolve into something else asides a zombie. But as for the time...Around 10 to 15 minutes. 30 minutes tops."
"I got bit by a zombie…."
The woman didn't reacted as she coughed some blood" how long has it been?"
"I don't know. An hour, probably more."
"That's impossible" she was taken back" are you sure you got bit?"
"I am. If I haven't turn yet. What does that mean?"
"It's uncertain to tell. It would have been interesting to get a blood sample and analyze it. But, from a logical point of view. If you got bit and it has already passed the time limit...I might suggest that somehow...You could be immune. You won't be the first one. There was a test subject that was injected with the T-Virus and he proved to be resistant to it. That is, until he was injected with G. It is possible for one to possess an immune system to the virus. It is a very rare case…."
"That will be enough for me" he felt a little relief now.
Annette was coughing more blood feeling her life draining away" wait...I have one last request. Sherry's pendant, do you still have it?"
"Claire has it. Why?"
"It's more than just the key to get the antiviral agent. In the portrait, there's a secret opening with a small flash drive behind it. Inside of it, it has the formula of the G-Virus. All the data, all of William's notes, his life's work, is all there. You must destroy it. No matter what happens, it must not fall into the wrong hands. G is too dangerous. Please, I don't want to be responsible for any more deaths. Too many has plagued my conscious."
"Okay. I'll make sure to get rid of it."
"Thank you…." Annette finally closed her eyes as gave her last breath.
Jaune left the security room seeing Claire hugging Sherry. The little girl was still sobbing knowing her mother was gone. The brunette saw him and he only shook his head. The brunette has already put the electronic chip on the wristband. Level 4 administrator access. So there was another level that it wasn't mentioned in the piece of paper they read. Meaning it could lead them to a way out of here. Why would Annette gave them the chip. Sherry's broke the hug before turning to him. Seeing her in tears, broke his heart. But it warns his heart to see her cured from the G-Virus. That was one less person to be infected by that threat. The girl ran to him and hugged him, he didn't complained accepting the hug. Only eight years old and she has already lost her parents. She sobbed softly as he pulled the girl closer. No child deserves this. Then again, no child deserves to become a guinea pig for the G-Virus.
"Your mom loved you. Don't ever forget it, Sherry."
"I know…." she pulled away drying her tears.
"And she wants us to get you out of here. She saved your life, so you can leave this place and keep going."
"You two saved me too" she smiled.
"Of course I did, I'm a knight, remember?" he smiled.
"Sherry, can you walk faster?" asked Claire.
"Yeah…."
"I don't wanna rush you, but we have to go."
Jaune grabbed her hand. They will leave this place together, if it's the last thing he does. He was still thinking how he can be immune to the T-Virus. Better to leave that aside though, he should tell Claire so she can feel better. The trio went to the door that will take them to the cable car but it was closed. The electronic screen said" lockdown" in red. The new chip they had on the ID wristband will do the trick. The Redfield try it on but it didn't worked. Looks like they will have to go the other way. They went back to the main shaft.
*Attention: self-destruct sequence initiated. Use the central elevator to evacuate immediately to the bottom-level train platform.*
Well, at least now they know where to go. The central elevator in the main shaft. The control terminal had the roman number four, the same chip they currently have. The Redfield try it and the screen said" access granted". The doors opened as the trio went inside. Jaune could feel the brunette's stare at him, if this keeps up, she might end up putting a hole on his head, literally. Obviously she wanted to know what Annette told him. She's been worried ever since he got bit. And it was scaring her if he ever turns. Annette gave him some good news, might as well share them with his companion. Maybe, she will finally calm down.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah. She said that I have passed the time limit to turn and, I might be immune."
"That's great news" Claire smiled in pure relief" if you're immune, you're not infected, if you're not infected you won't turn."
"I'm happy too" he smiled at least the woman assured him that he won't turn, it was still good news" I wonder, if my aura has something to do with it. I do have a lot of it. Maybe, it blocked the effect of the T-Virus. Aura is more than just something to protect someone from attacks and healing wounds."
"Claire, Jaune?" Sherry started" thank you both for being so nice to me…For helping me. I'm really glad I met you two."
"I'm glad I met you too, Sherry. But save your thanks until we get you out of this place."
"Knights are supposed to protect and defend the innocent. It's my job to look after you" replied the blond huntsman.
The girl smiled that was enough to calm her. She knew she will be safe as long as these two are by her side. The elevator finally reached the bottom level. As the doors opened, they found themselves in a control room, but they kept walking ahead. It lead to a place with staircase as an explosion occurred before them. This facility was really going to be destroy soon, they needed to hurry. Entering a door, they were in another area where there was a small elevator. Without a word they took, the green light turned red, going down. Jaune was thinking how long they have until it was bye bye lab. Hoping they will make it out of here. Also, he thought about Leon, he better have get out of the city by now.
*Ten minutes until detonation.*
"Time is against us" sweat dropped the Arc.
Once the elevator reached the floor, the trio kept running. Claire has taken her grenade launcher as plant zombies were ahead. The blond told Sherry to stay behind him, as he took out his shot gun. Of course it wasn't going to be easy. There should be obstacles that will get in their way. The duo don't hold back taking down the veggie zombies. After the climbed down a ladder. The Arc went first to make sure the it was safe down. He nodded to the two, telling them it was okay as the blond girl went first, followed by the brunette. There was a door straight ahead. Jaune was really hoping they were almost home free. The brunette reached for the knob and it was locked, she got pissed. Of course it has to be locked. The huntsman gasped seeing Sherry, climbing the railing and into a metal pipe that leads inside the room. She said she could open the door from the other side.
Just when they thought all they needed to do is wait, a plant zombie emerged. The duo took it out immediately. It's timing was terrible. The AI in the facility said nine minutes until detonation. Time was not on their side. Another plant zombie arrived at the Redfield fired her flame round burning the vegified creature. Another plant zombie as Jaune fired away his shot gun, three times blowing its head off. The duo was hoping that was the last of them. There was a soft click from behind them, as the blond girl managed to release the clock of the door. She was truly brave for a girl her age. The next room they entered was filled with fire. Smoke and heat hit their bodies. The huntsman took Sherry's hand again as they resumed their running. Explosions followed. They entered another door with a straight corridor filled with fire and a zombie in flames. They didn't had time for this, using their hand guns killing it.
After escaping the rooms filled with fire, they crossed another straight corridor that didn't had any fire. Taking another door, they saw what it looked like a train cart. Claire suggested it could get them out of here. It was worth to try since they didn't had much time. The trio climbed the stair case entering the cart, going for the controls. The Arc found something in the ground near, a join plug. They might be able to start the machine now. But the brunette knew the joint plug will have to be placed outside of the train cart. She nodded to the blond, what they needed to do and he understood. Though he didn't like the idea of leaving the girl alone.
"What are you doing?"
"We gotta get this train moving. I need you to stay right here, OK?"
"OK. I promise I won't move."
"Good."
"This won't take long. You will barely notice we were gone in the first place" said Jaune.
"Be careful."
"Always."
"I got her back Sherry. Don't worry" smiled the huntsman.
"You too!" followed the little girl.
The Arc smiled leaving with Claire through the door they first entered. They went straight to the control room that was right in front of them. As they entered, something caught their eyes. Holly molly, they sure weren't expecting to see a weapon here. It was a Minigun. Jaune knew about it since he has seen Coco the leader of CFVY used the similar weapon. But this was obviously a classic model. It didn't mattered to him, it was strong in firepower. I might come in handy if they ran into any more bio-annoyance. The brunette told him to get as he grabbed it. It was heavy but nothing he could handle. After picking the weapon, they saw a shaped hole that will fit the joint plug. Once they put the part, Claire pulled down the lever as the red light changed to green.
"Ok, that did it" said the blond as the lights turned on and the train cart was activated.
*Claire!*
Both were shocked hearing the familiar voice, they haven't heard in a while. They turned a screen that was showing static but it was showing the face of the rookie cop.
"Leon? You're down here too!?"
"Good to see you're doing all right" followed the Arc.
*Yeah. But the whole place is coming down. Look, you two need to get out. Fast!*
"I know. We found a way out. I think...We can all make it. Where are you now?"
*Claire? Jaune? Are you still there?*
"Leon?! I'm sorry you're breaking up."
*Don't worry about me. Just get outta here!*
"Great, we lost him" the huntsman wasn't happy seeing the screen going back to pure static.
"Leon? Leon?! Damn!"
"Let's hope we'll run into him on the way out."
As the duo left the control room. The platform where the train cart stood started moving, heading down. A ferocious growl made them gasped, coming from near by. Something jumped on top of the train cart. A creature with many eyes and its entire body was filled with sharp claws. Neither of the two couldn't believe it. It was William again, it has transformed again into a fourth form. This thing doesn't know went to quit or die. Claire reloaded her grenade launcher while the Arc gave a grin. Looks like he will be testing his new weapon a lot sooner than he thought. He fired the Minigun and god, the recoil was strong, stronger than his shot gun but he kept on aiming at the G creature. The firepower was being very effective as it was in pain. The Redfield followed firing her flame rounds. It was on fire as it fell on the ground, before jumping from the train cart to the two.
"Why can't you just die!?" shouted the brunette.
"How many lives does this thing has?!" followed her blond companion.
The AI said" seven minutes till detonation". This was starting to turn into a very desperate situation. Jaune thought they had plenty of time to escape, and they were almost home free, he was wrong. The blond huntsman halted his firing as well as the brunette. Both ran as the creature was attacking relentlessly with its many claws. Getting caught in that will be bad news. They went with the same strategy when they fought its third form. Keep a far distance and resume firing. The Arc thought it was stronger than before, so fighting in on close quarters wouldn't be a recommendation. It didn't matter how much aura he has. It was reckless to fight it head on. Claire changed from flame round to acid rounds, telling the blond cover her. He obeyed firing the Minigun. G4 Birkin gave a roar before jumping to the iron bars of the surrounding the platform elevator.
"What the heck is it doing?" the Arc kept pointing the Minigun at the creature.
It jumped from so high hitting the train cart on the top. Blue eyes widened in shock, Jaune didn't wanted to think about it. Now that Sherry has been cured of the G-Virus, can this thing tell she wasn't infected anymore. What if it was after her again. If it injects another embryo in her, they couldn't go and take another antiviral agent. His eyes narrowed in anger, that won't happen again as long as he was here. The blond fired the Minigun without consequence on how much ammo it was using. Claire was finally ready as she fired acid rounds on the bio monster. Both ran off as it jumped from the train with a mid air attack. This thing was only attacking on pure instinct showing the research notes on G to be true. It has lost all human consciousness and intelligence. It was fighting to kill, to survive. So it wasn't going to leave them alone leaving the duo with the only choice to take it out.
As it attacked, it showed the many eyes it has in its middle portion. It was more grotesque looking than ever. The Arc took the chance to fired the Minigun, followed by the Redfield with her acid rounds. The damage was really affecting the G monster, it really knew how to take a hit. All of its eyes have suddenly turned red. It could be a sign that it was weakening, or maybe it was finally dying. Claire ran out of acid rounds, leaving her with only the flame rounds. Telling her companion to cover her again, he obeyed emptying all the ammo from the Minigun. The brunette changed to her sub machine gun, she hasn't used it in a while. It had plenty of ammo so it will do well against this enemy. The AI of the facility said" six minutes left until detonation". It was time to finish it off. The way it was moving sluggish, it was at the point that it was about to get beaten.
It went back climbing to the iron bars, ready for a mid air attack. The duo waited until it jumped, it was obviously heading straight at them. Once it jumped they ran as its attack missed. It went back to attacking in all directions while the team kept their distance. They were making sure to aim at all of the eyes. A couple of shots later and the creature gave a painful cry. It's head exploded and the body hit the ground. It wasn't moving, the sight was disgusting. That was it, Jaune realized the Minigun was out of ammo and couldn't be used anymore. He put it down, it really came in handy for this fight. Claire reloaded her sub machine gun not wanting to take any risks. This thing has proven to be tough to kill. But after a few minutes, they realized they have done it once again in defeating the G monster who was once William Birkin.
"I'm not going to bother asking the question."
"Yeah. It's one stubborn son of a bitch that doesn't know when to die."
"Let's head back to Sherry."
As they went back to the train cart, the little girl ran to hug Claire. Then she followed to hug Jaune. Both smiled, it was over. Maybe they were finally leaving this place. Then something heavy hit the ceiling of the cart. It better not be William back on its feet. The Arc and the Redfield nodded, telling Sherry again to stay here while they go outside and investigate the source of the sound. Turning to the ceiling of the train cart, both gasped. It wasn't William because the thing was still dead on the ground, but it was something else. A tall humanoid with pale face, sharp claws. Definitely another bio creature of Umbrella. Its face, he resemblance the same thing with a black trench coat that was constantly following them around, before G Birkin killed it. It was ready to go for the kill while the duo took their weapons. Claire with her sub machine gun and Jaune with his shoot gun.
"We can't just catch a fucking break!?" said the Redfield.
"We'll have to take it out too-"
The Arc didn't finished his sentence as the tall bio creature charged at him. He didn't had time to react, or take his shield. The blond got hit by an uppercut of the Tyrant X. The huntsman was sent flying, looking shocked. Claire fired her sub machine gun, but the creature ignored, charging again at the blond. In mid air, he recovered and fired his shot gun four times. The brunette was still firing her weapon but nothing has changed. It was still focusing on Jaune. He had to dropped the weapon to take out his shield and sword. This thing was strong, maybe stronger than trenchy. Blocking all of it's fast attacks with the shield. The Redfield had to change her weapon to her grenade launcher because this fucking thing wasn't paying attention to her. The firepower of the latter weapon isn't enough. Flame round hit the Tyrant setting it on fire. Yet, it kept his focus on her male companion.
"What the fuck is wrong with this thing!?" she glared at the tall bio weapon" hey, I'm right here you son of a bitch!"
Even with Claire's cursing and firing at it, was not enough to get its attention. Jaune knew something was wrong with this thing. Usually, all of the creatures they have fought will try to attack both of them. But this one, only had its sights on him. He was the only thing attacking. It was like the brunette was not even there for the tall humanoid. This got the Arc thinking. Could it be that this one was only after him. It wouldn't be something new, remembering what Jill told him. There was something after her because its only after members of S.T.A.R.S. So this one could have one target, instead. Himself, but why. The why will have to wait. The elevator has finally made a stop as the train cart was connected to another cart, forming a train. This was probably use for emergencies escape in case the self destruct system is activated. It looked like it was ready to go.
"Jaune, we have to go!"
The blond followed her back into the cart where Sherry was waiting. She was happy to see them all right but she knew there was another monster outside. Claire went straight to the controls, it was time to leave this place behind.
"Go. I'll handle that thing."
"What are you talking about?!" she was shocked" this train is our way out."
"That thing is only after me. Not you, or Sherry. I have a better chance of stopping it on my own. You guys have to leave now."
"The hell you think I'm going to let you-"
The Redfield was caught as the Tyrant X has tore the door off the train cart.
"See. I have to get off, get to safety! Get this train moving!"
"But Jaune…." started Sherry worried.
"I'm not leaving you!" Claire argued.
No time left the Arc grabbed the brunette and kissed her passionately. She was shocked at first, but she gladly accepted. The little girl actually smiled at the sight. The kiss only lasted for a few seconds as the huntsman jumped off the train facing the bio weapon.
"I'll get back to you. I promise!"
"You better!" Claire looked pissed" after fucking kissing me, you better come back!"
"Jaune, be careful!" followed the little girl.
The Redfield hesitated. Giving one last glance at the blond, she pulled the lever starting the train. The vehicle moved heading into the tunnel, leaving him alone with the tall humanoid. Blue eyes narrowed as he readied Crocea Mors and his shield.
"If it's me you want, then here I am!"
To be continued
-Claire thinking Jaune could be a test subject of Umbrella is to be expected. But she said it clearly she didn't care if he's an experiment or not, she cares for him. A little tension between them but they got over it apologizing. Showing how much their relationship has grown since they met.
-Jaune finally kissed Claire I wanted him to man up and just get it over with. For once he made the first move lol.
As expected Jauen is immune to the Tvirus. Honestly I can't see it affecting him and making him stronger than he already is. Too OP for my taste.
-So how was that fight with G Birkin fourth form. I decided for Jaune to used the mini gun only for this fight. It wanted it to run out of ammo.
-Mr. X #2 or should I say Tyrant X has finally come for Jaune. Time is running out for the Arc. Will he be able to defeat it and catch up to Claire and Sherry.
-Yep, next chapter will be the conclusion of this story it's Jaune vs Tyrant X not to mention there's still Birkin's final form. It's going to get good. How will he be able to reach the train and leave the facility. So many questions that will be answered eventually. As previously said there will be an extra chapter after the finale.
-Replying to reviews:
*TheEmeraldMage- thank you for your support and I already said I'm planning to continue this story. Don't know when though.
*mega 1987- no he's nude I will not give him silly swimwear.
*Cinderfall201- more like his aura is a huge shield that prevents any virus going in.
*Perseus12- same but with Umbrella's fall many probably left to save their own skin, others were probably arrested and rotting in a cell. And others decided to sell the viruses to terrorists and continue bio terrorism.
*Justaquestion12- and your suspicion is correct.
*JustLuck- sorry I'm not familiar with the RE2 remake soundtrack. Maybe I will edit the chapter adding the music. Thanks for letting me know. And you're right he is immune because of his huge amount of aura.
*Nerf585- I don't think he will be returning to Remnant.
*DestinyTX- maybe I will and warrior of six blades is planning to make a "RWBY watches Resident Huntsman" story. Don't know when he will upload the first chapter.
*Guest- maybe I will in the future.
*Shirosaki Kizuro- I haven't nerfed Jaune read the story completely to know. Second have we seen Jaune fighting Grimm after the fight with the Geist? Not to mention he didn't do much of the fighting only coming up with the plan to stop it. So he doesn't really fight Grimm on a daily basis. He's not the kind of person to force himself on puzzles (that will be more like Nora or Yang) and also I'm following the canon story of the game.
*warrior of six blades- yeah I figured out about Oliver a few days ago. Damn I can't believe I never noticed. Thank you for your support on the story.
*MidKnightMoonglow99- nah Jaune won't die as he now knows how to tap into his aura.
*pensuka- you are right. His aura is a big shield that blocks the effect of the T-Virus.
*supboyyyyy93- thank you for liking the story and no Ruby won't be in this story just like Jaune won't be on Edrap's story.
*Guest- I don't understand what you mean. Aura means jack shit in reality. Maybe but it means a lot in my story.
*X3runner- thank you for the review. Yeah I really wanted Jaune to slap some sense into Annette and realize how bad of a mom she's being. Claire didn't do a good job so the Arc takes it upon himself to be the one to make see the error of her ways.
*Guest- not in this story but maybe I will come up with more challenges for the version of this story. Edrap already started writing a Ruby version titled" Resident Huntress B" covering Leon's B scenario. I also added "Resident Farmhand" to my challenge list on my profile page Oscar entering the RE2 remake universe.
*A man with no name- l already wrote the chapter with the fight of Birkin's final form. You'll see.
*Guest- here you go the next chapter.
*Greer123- thank you and I don't think Jaune will return to Remnant.
*Guest- so far Capcom confirmed remaking RE3 and then they will make RE8. They haven't said anything about remaking Code Veronica. Honestly I don't think it needs a remake it's already great the way it is. It should be obvious they will remake the first three games.
*Rev- I'm sorry but I don't think I can. It's hard to bring them up in the events of RE2 remake.
*CT7567Rules- Umbrella has always been the most evil in the series compare to terrorist groups. Everyone is expandable to them, they have proven it time and time again. You work for them, you will die when you're no longer useful to them. And yeah, I'll be doing the events of Code Veronica X eventually.
*Zilla- yep almost to the end.
*C rex- he is the underdog for a reason. But he has so much potential to become very strong. I am praying RT makes him that strong huntsman. That is if they stop focusing on the ships and more on the story.
*Mitch- that is a hard question to answer. I know the G-Virus is bad and should never be use by anyone. I guess I will get rid of it and come up with cures for the world's greatest diseases like cancer, AIDS among others. Then again if I do that, Umbrella would have kill me a while back.
*Vic- I think RE3 remake will be release next year January 25 same release date as RE2 remake. Capcom said that the game" will be release sooner than you think". So yeah, next year.
*Storm Marine- it should win most annoying puzzle of the game award honestly. And yeah, Jaune is that kind of person who would choose to do the right thing over the fame and glory.
*Guest- that is hard to answer since I love both the original CV and the one from Darkside Chronicles. I might have a mix of both but not so sure how I will do it.
*Guest- let me correct you on your statement. Birkin must have known his life creation is flawed. But his pride and ego was too big to realize the truth. There were people used as test subject for the G-Virus. Countless of them and he was aware what will they become, nothing human. He thought it will be the ultimate life form that will surpass humanity but it's nothing but an abomination.
-As always thank you very much for all the favs, follows and reviews.
