Well, welcome to
part, what, 9? Anyway, I'm sorry for the long wait again. I'm just cramped for
time these days (yeah right, I'm just a lazy bum, whose had plenty of time).
Anyway, that damn filter is messing up my borders! Argghhh! Anyway, in the last
chapter/part Hunk reached the labs, Trowa kicked Duo's ass, and still I must
continue to write. _ I don't know how much longer I can continue this
thing.

Hunk slowly trudged
down the stairs; his boots clanging off the metal steps. So far he hadn't
encountered and B.O.W.'s so it wasn't too bad a day. Well except for Mr. X
slaughtering his entire squad, yet again. Yep, this sure was a great day.
Reading his watch it was about 4 o'clock in the morning. What time was he sent
in? About two in the morning.
Walking down the steps he spotted it. A big,
bloody, handprint on the wall. It streaked down at least to the next floor.
"Somebody didn't have a good night," Hunk remarked to himself. Quickly he
raised his M4A1 assault rifle. Scanning the area he looked down between the
steps. That's when he saw it. A zombie was lying in the corner of the
stairwell, twisted in an inhuman position. Hunk was surprised the body hadn't
snapped in three yet.
Slowly he
walked up to it. It let out a baleful moan and reached to grab Hunk's leg. Hunk
stepped back one pace and stared at it. The thing most likely fell down the
stairs. That position sure looked like it hurt a hell of a lot; the thought of
putting it out of its misery crossed Hunk's mind, but he quickly dismissed it;
he'd need the ammo later.
Hunk jumped
over the rotting corpse and continued on his way to the B4 level of the labs.
That's where the G-Virus was stored. Then he'd have to travel to B9 to get the
information off the computers. This job sure had its exciting points. Yeah,
right.
Heero jumped
over another corpse of a licker. That had to be the fourth one they'd seen all
day. He paid it no mind and hefted his SPAS. The three Gundam pilots were
starting to run low on ammunition. Trowa had one clip for his MP-5N, one clip
for his MP9; Duo had only two clips for his Browning HP; and Heero had only
eight shells for his SPAS, and three clips for his Beretta. On the bright side,
if things were to continue like they were, they wouldn't need to use any more.
Trowa walked in
silence, contemplating the night's events. Things sure were getting interesting
in this town. At first he wished he wasn't here, but now that he found out what
was going on, he knew this was where he should be. This was just another duty
of being a Gundam pilot. Then a thought crossed his mind, "Hey guys. What are
we going to do after we get out of here?"
"What do you
mean?" asked Heero.
Trowa paused
and thought for a moment, "I mean, are we just going to leave the town and let
it become over run. This town is infected with a virus that could spread."
"I guess we'll
just have to destroy the town with our Gundams," Duo answered.
"That would be
the wisest decision," added Heero.
Trowa nodded in
compliance and continued walking. He then wondered whom exactly it was they
were following. It didn't matter though, as long as they got out of the city.
Then they'd destroy it. It wouldn't be fun, it wouldn't be great, but it was
needed.
Hunk finally
reached the door to level B4. This was it. Somewhere down here was the G-Virus
and probably a shit load of mutations. Hunk gripped the handle loosely.
Whatever was behind that door that he got the slightest glimpse of was going to
die. Even if it was a scientist. The first thing he saw was going to be filled
with lead.
Hunk quickly
gripped the handle tight and flung open the door. Reacting instantly he fired
at the creature in front of him. Several rounds tore into the MA-121's skull,
tearing it apart. Skull fragments fly everywhere as it gave out an ear-piercing
shriek of pain. In a matter of seconds, the body hit the ground with a dull
thud. It didn't move, it didn't flinch, and it didn't live.
Now with his adrenaline
pumping, Hunk decided to start looking for the G-Virus. If intelligence was
right, then it was stored on this floor. He sure as hell hoped they were right
about that; otherwise it was going to be a long night.
The corridor in
front of Hunk was large and had only two doors, most likely rooms for
experimentation with the G-Virus. Which meant that all kinds of nasty shit
would be lurking in there. But it was Hunk's job to clean this place up, so
that's what he'd have to do.
He walked up
slowly to the first door, which was on his right. It was a large steel door
with one small plate of glass to see through. Hunk peered in and saw two
MA-121s. "Oh fucking joy," he silently cursed. Standing back he took out his
MP-5N and used the stock butt to smash the glass. The Hunter's (MA-121s)
immediately turned and charged at the door. With a loud thud, they both ran
into the door and fell back.
Hunk quickly
ran up and stuck his MP-5N in the slot and filled one of them with lead. The
other got up quick and Hunk backed up. He stared at him through the small hole.
Hunk had never actually stared at one in the eyes before, always just shoot. To
say the least it was frightening. The thing gave a loud shriek, showing its
mouth. Hunk quickly ran up again and stuck the MP-5N in the things mouth and
pulled the trigger. The bullets tore through the back of the creature's throat,
making it stumble back. When it did, Hunk took aim and put five rounds through
its skull.
This one also
hit the floor with a thud. Hunk cautiously opened the door and looked around.
In the corner were two tubes, probably where the MA-121s were being stored.
Other than that it had nothing that would give the impression the G-Virus was
in there.
Hunk sighed and
walked out, then for some reason, closed the door behind him. Walking up to the
next door, he peered in again. This one contained a huge water tank. Inside
Hunk saw about three Neptunes, surprisingly they hadn't torn each other apart
yet. "Hmph. Must be special," Hunk mused and walked inside.
To his left sat
a computer consol and to his right was a small desk. So, he walked to his left.
There was a single chair stationed at it. He sat down and turned the computer
on. As Hunk waited for the computer to load, he looked back at the tank. The
Neptunes were all next to each other staring at him. Hunk smirked and held up
both hands as he gave them the finger.
Finally the
computer finished loading and Hunk began tinkering with the thing. Using the
passwords given to him by Umbrella he found the maps locating the G-Virus.
Before he left something caught his eye. Messing with it he found the files he
needed. "Hmm, easier than I thought," he said as he slipped the floppy disk
into the hard drive.
The files
downloaded and the computer gave a slight beep and Hunk was on his way. In
practically no time he'd retrieve the virus and would be able to get out. This
was the new plan and it could be executed in less than thirty minutes. So in
forty minutes, he'd turn on the self-destruct. Then this place would go up like
an old newspaper.
Heero continued
walking when he came upon a door. Reaching around, he grasped a handle and
turned it. The two other pilots squinted from the light. The three finally
walked inside and they were in a large facility. "What the hell is this place?"
asked Duo.
"An underground
manufacturing facility," answered Trowa.
"Hmm, so in a
place like this…" Duo trailed off as he walked toward a small desk. Jumping
behind it he looked around. Finally he got a large smirk on his face. Standing
back up he hoisted over his shoulder an AR15 9mm Carbine. Trowa's eyes widened.
Heero just arched an eyebrow and continued to look around. Duo proudly pocketed
three clips for it and laughed.
"So where do we
go now?" asked Trowa.
There was a
door in front of them and a door to the right. Heero nodded toward the door on
the right. The three pilots once again began walking. At the door Heero quickly
turned the handle to reveal a passageway.
"Huh?" asked
Duo.
Trowa just
raised his MP-5N and started forward. Duo looked at Heero who just followed
Trowa. With a sigh, Duo followed Heero down the passageway. "How come I never
get to pick where we go?" Duo asked.
Trowa just
shrugged.
"Because you'd
get us lost," answered Heero.
Duo was about to
protest when both Trowa and Heero stopped. Duo looked ahead and saw a small
stepladder leading to the ceiling. "What do you think it is?" asked Trowa.
"A ladder,
duh!" answered Duo.
"All right then
genius, where does it go to?" asked Trowa again.
"Obviously up."
Trowa just
rolled his eyes and started forward again. Heero once again followed Trowa and
Duo followed Heero. Upon closer inspection there seemed to be a hatch above the
ladder. Trowa looked at Heero; Heero looked at Trowa; Duo looked at both of
them. Trowa shrugged and opened the hatch. Climbing through one by one they
looked around.
"We're…" began
Duo.
"Out of the
city," said Trowa in disbelief.
"You've got to
be kidding me. After all we've been through tonight, it can't end this lamely,"
stated Duo.
Heero just
seemed to be thinking. "Hey, doesn't this place look familiar?" he asked.
Trowa paused
and thought about it, "We're about two miles from our Gundams," stated Trowa.
"Yes!" yelled
Duo, firing random shots into the air in celebration.
"No way!"
yelled Trowa.
"Huh?" asked
Duo suddenly stopping.
Trowa pointed
behind Duo, "Right there."
Heero looked as
well, "How the hell…"
"Did he
survive?" asked Trowa.
Standing at the
edge of the forest, was their old friend Mr. X. Only now, he was slightly
different. His body was huge and muscular. His face remained intact. Heero
immediately recognized the creature from the picture.
"Tyrant."
So how was part 9?
Any good? I realize it's kinda shorter than the others, but I can only do so
much. It's straining my creative abilities; so don't expect five more chapters.
The next will most likely be the last.
Preview(that's right
it's back): Oh boy! The three have made it out of the city, but now the Tyrant
is pissed, most likely at Heero for that pipe bomb. _ Now will all the Gundam
pilots make it out alive (HINT HINT)? Will Hunk retrieve the
G-Virus in time and get the hell out? Only I know that, but I don't know yet.
_ So until the next chapter, keep reading, keep healthy, and don't keep
waiting.
