Chapter 9
"Sttarrsss"
Cody stared at the disfigured beast, it's skin was charred, it's skin had been burnt away from it's face. It's skin was burnt and cracking, it's now reddish burnt skin flexed and contracted like real skin. It's fleshy tentacles hung from it's back and shoulders, they whipped and lashed in Cody's and Jill's direction. Cody pulled out the Beretta and fired with both guns, the monster screamed and whaled as it slapped the Glock from his hand with one of it's tentacles. Cody backed up and Jill sped past him, the Nemesis had been distracted with him and Jill shoved her hands into its cold, wet, slimy chest throwing it off the bridge. The Nemesis howled and splashed down on the jagged rocks below. Cody stared off the edge for a moment, swallowing slowly before he joined Jill and they headed to the Water Treatment Facility.
"It's . . . . . . Almost Over"

Carlos stood in the communications room inside the water treatment facility, trying to find some way to contact the outside world. Carlos punched a few buttons and suddenly heard static, followed by a clear women's voice
"Attention. The Raccoon City Project has been abandoned. Political maneuvering to delay federal plans has failed. All personnel must evacuate immediately to out of the ten-mile blast radius. Missiles will be launched at day break"
"Shit" Carlos mumbled, looking at his watch, "We got forty-five minutes give or take a few minutes, I got to warn Jill!" Carlos yelled out, Carlos paused for a moment then looked out the window. There was a helicopter, Carlos smirked slightly, now all he had to do was pray it had fuel. Carlos prayed to god that Cody and Jill were in the Facility by now. He'd try his best to find them, but at day break he was getting out before Raccoon became ground zero.
* * *
Cody followed Jill down a large hallway,
BAM!
A spark erupted at Cody's side and Jill pulled him behind a crater,
"Well if it isn't the billion dollar bitch and her little friend" Nicholai called out, pointing his hand out from behind a corner and shooting at them. Jill returned fire,
"I thought you were trying to get out of the city!" Jill shouted as she fired,
"Well, you see, there is a lot of money to be collected on the confirmation of both of your deaths" Nicholai yelled, firing at them again, "You see, I have exterminated all of the other watch dogs, Umbrella is only going to have to deal with me and I am going to be an extremely wealthy individual" Nicholai called back,
"Well I'm not contributing to your retirement plans" Jill called back, Nicholai turned to fire and Cody leaped out into the hallway. Nicholai was surprised and Cody fired, Nicholai screamed in pain as the bullet entered his side. Nicholai fired once more, Cody felt Nicholai's bullet hit him, warm blood running down his shoulder as he collapsed down to the cold floor. Nicholai emerged from behind the wall,
"Now you die" He said, Cody closed his eyes ready to accept death as he heard a horrible gurgling noise followed up by a loud high pitched scream. When he looked up, Nicholai was gone, Jill rushed over to Cody,
"Oh my god you've been shot!" Jill knelt down next to him, blood was seeping out of his shoulder. Jill ripped a small part of the bottom of her shirt away and used it to bandage up his shoulder. Cody slowly reached his feet,
"What did I say about trying to be a hero" Jill scolded,
"I know. . . I know" Cody groaned, fighting the nusiea back, Cody and Jill followed down the hallway and turned the corner when they heard a dripping noise. Cody looked down and saw a puddle of blood, when he looked back up he threw his head forward and threw up. Jill glanced up and saw Nicholai's body attached to the roof, his guts were hanging out of his stomach, his jugular vain was hanging out of his throat and his face had been beating unrecognizable. Jill felt sick and she looked away,
"I don't even want to know what did that to him" Jill muttered, Jill turned her head and looked at Cody, he was looking a bit pale. "You all right?" She asked,
"Yeah. . . . To much death for one day" Cody said,
"Yeah, trust me, you've seen way more then you've ever needed to see" Jill said,
Jill walked a little further just past Cody and opened another large door, the odor that came out was like a slap in the face. The most disgusting, foul odor that they'd ever smelt assaulted their noses. Cody looked like he was going to puke, they walked in and the door closed behind them. Suddenly the door swung open and the Nemesis walked in, Cody and Jill both backed up as the door swung shut. A red light started to flash signaling it was going to dump soon. Cody and Jill both backed into a corner when the Nemesis lashed at them. The Nemesis's tentacle sliced a pipe in half and acid shot out., It sprayed the Nemesis and it let out a loud howl. It's tentacle's falling off, Cody jumped to the side and darted past it, Jill followed quickly, but the door was locked. Cody's eyes widened,
"We're trapped!" Cody yelped, searching around, The Nemesis starting toward them. Cody hand to think quick, Cody snatched up a pipe from the ground as the Nemesis lunged for him. Using it's own momentum and all the strength he had in his one arm, he slammed the pipe into it's head. Cody fell back as the Nemesis's head exploded off it's shoulders and smacked into the wall. Cody was in shearing pain, but he managed to get to his feet and smirk at the dead Nemesis.
"It's all over" Jill said in a low tone, "We're stuck and it's going to dump into the acid soon, no way out" Jill muttered, Cody looked at her for a moment then looked down. Fighting back tears, he just wanted to curl up into his own little world and wait to die. Because this time they were stuck, and there was no way out. A loud rumble signaled the floor coming loose. Cody turned and looked at the pile of dead Umbrella scientists. As he did, he saw a key card slip out of one of their pockets. Cody turned and looked at the door, it required a key card. Cody broke into a full run as he felt the floor giving in, he snatched up the key card as the middle split and bodies began to dump into the acid. Cody backed up, the middle was split, he'd have to jump. Cody broke into a full run, going as fast as he could, the room filling with heat. Cody closed his eyes and jumped, after a few seconds he felt his feet touch down, Cody opened his eyes and stumbled against the door. Jill stared at him and Cody swiped the card down the slot. The door clicked and unlocked, Jill pushed it open and Cody looked back to see the Nemesis's body plunge into the acid. Cody stumbled out the door and ran for a second before falling forward. His body was giving in, Jill rushed to his side and helped him up, Cody put his arm around her and she balanced him.
"Come on I know your hurt but we got to keep going" Jill said,
"I know. . ." Cody mumbled, his voice sounded like he'd just woken up, groggy. Jill helped Cody down the hallway, he limped slowly. Jill's gaze kept drifting to him, his clothes were burnt slightly as so were small patches of his skin where he'd had close encounters with fire. He had a large bruise on his shoulder, and on his other should was bleeding from the gun shot. The bullet hadn't entered his skin but it had grazed the top of his shoulder and took off three or four layers of skin. His shirt was completely ripped off, the only piece of his shirt what was left was the bottom of it which was in shreds, tucked into his pants and hanging freely. His muscles in his chest and arms were bulging showing he'd been using them a lot. Blood ran freely from numerous cuts all over his chest, his face was smudged with dirt, sweat and dried blood, and his pants were tattered, and at the bottom of his left pant leg was a huge hole that exposed Cody's knee which was all scraped up. Blood also ran freely from the bottom of his left eye, all in all, he looked like shit. He was as tall as her, maybe a little bit taller, but his eyes were half shut, hiding his dark brown eyes.
"Come on, stay with me" Jill whispered, "Cody. . . ." She said again, there was no response. "Cody answer me" She said again, that's when she noticed he wasn't talking, she was dragging him. She stopped for a moment and felt his pulse, he was still alive, he must have passed out.
* * *
"Cody . . ." A voice called, once again Cody was surrounded by darkness. But the voice Cody heard didn't frighten him, it soothed him.
"Cody. . . ."
"Who is it?" Cody called out into the darkness, his voice echoing on, that's when a women pulled out of the shadows. She had long chestnut brown hair, brown eyes, and a smile that made him forget all his pain.
"My little boy is all grown" The girl said,
"Mom?" Cody asked,
"Yes" She replied, Cody was unable to move, he was stunned, was this really his mother he was seeing? "Cody you have to wake up" She said,
"Wake up?" Cody said a bit confused, "But I am awake" He added,
"No. . . Your dreaming" She said,
"But it's so real" Cody said,
"I know son, but you have to wake up and you have to keep fighting, you can't just die" She replied,
"I don't want to wake up. . . It hurts. . . I just want to die. . ." He trailed off,
"You can't die, not here, you weren't supposed to, you've got someone who needs you a lot and you need her, together you guys will help put an end to Umbrella's evil intentions, but your not the only one suffering because of this, there are others who have felt the cold hand of Umbrella, together, and only then can Umbrella be stopped, but that means you have to get up, you can't die here" She said,
"But. . . . If you are really talking to me. . . . Then was that really Wesley who was talking to me before?" Cody asked,
"No, it was your mind blaming your self for Wesley's death, but Cody had you gone with Wesley you'd of been killed also, Wesley is glad to see your alive, now don't let his and all the others deaths go in vain by quitting now" She said, Cody looked at her for a moment,
"How do I wake up. . . .?" Cody asked,
"I thought you'd never asked" She smiled, "You got to really want it, you have to convince yourself this is a dream and force your way out" She said,
"But if I do. . . . I know that I'll just be in Raccoon, fighting to survive" Cody said,
"You'll be fighting a battle you can win" She replied, "Now go" She added,
"All right. . . . Goodbye" Cody said,
"Good bye son, I'll always be with you and I love you" She said, but before Cody could reply, Cody woke up. Cody's eyes fluttered open and he saw the control room, Jill was picking up some sort of device and a female voice was blaring something about a missile attack. Cody stood up from where he'd been propped against the wall,
"Good your awake!" Jill beamed, as Cody started toward her,
"What's going on?" Cody asked, looking around,
"In about fifteen minutes this place is going to become ground zero, but Carlos had found a helicopter and is waiting for us at the heli-pad. We are finally getting out of here" Jill said,
"Finally" Cody breathed, as Jill kicked open a hatch and began to climb down, Cody followed quickly. Cody followed Jill down a ladder that lead into another long room, there were a few decayed and naked zombies stumbling about inside but Jill dropped them with ease. Cody followed Jill out another door and back outside. All around were wrecked cars stacked on each other, creating walls around them, the sky was purple now, Cody knew that soon the sun would rise and the missile would decimate the city. The ground rocked as Cody and Jill started toward a large complex. There was another violent rock and Cody was knocked off his feet. Jill helped him up as she tried to push the door open. She did and pulled Cody and herself into the room. Suddenly, there was a massive explosion and the door behind them cracked and busted.
"What in the hell?" Jill said, Cody was looking around, there was a huge lazer in the center of the room. All around were the dead corpses of other Tyrant-Like monsters all over the place. Jill walked past Cody and toward another door, she grabbed the handle but it had been electronically locked and didn't move when she pulled on it. Jill turned around and walked to a small computer set up at the base of hundreds of cords that all snaked to the giant lazer. Jill pushed a button but it didn't respond,
"Hey Cody, help me push in these batteries" Jill said, pointing to one of the three huge batteries. Cody nodded and walked to the one closest to him and pushed up against it with all his might, it clicked and a male voice said,
"One of three"
A red light blinked and Cody heard a rumbling sound, that's when a large mass fell from the rafters above. It laded on the ground, Cody heard the awful sound of skin stretching and bones crunching as a it's bulbous began to swell. Claws and tentacles shooting out from it's body, massive tumors swelled up all along it's shapeless body, like bubbles on stew. Black liquid streaming out of it's many blisters Cody shuttered involuntarily as it pulled itself toward him, it's body pulsing with acid from it's acid bath. Cody ore back around the corner as Jill opened fire on the beast. Cody slammed into the next battery and shoved it in,
"Two Of three"
suddenly, the monster leaped into the air and onto the giant cannon, Cody jumped away as acid sprayed out onto the ground and the monster howled. Cody searched around for anything to use against the Nemesis, nothing. His guns were gone, and Jill had the only weapon,
"Jill! You push in the last battery, throw me the grenade launcher and I'll lure it in front of the cannon then you fire!" Cody called out, Jill tossed him the grenade launcher and ran toward the next battery. "HEY UGLY!" Cody shouted, the Nemesis turning in his direction as he pointed the grenade launcher forward and fired, the grenade slammed into it's side and exploded causing it to roar loud. Cody tore around the corner and the Nemesis turned watching him from it's pirch on the rail gun, the monster leaped off and down toward him. Cody cracked the grenade launcher open and loaded it with the only grenade cartridge Jill had given him. Cody fired and it blew up directly in the Nemesis's face, a few tumors on it's side exploding. Cody pulled back and the Nemesis crawled for him. Cody was backed against a wall, Cody looked up and saw his only way out, Cody climbed up the machinery as the rail gun began to hum. Cody saw it begin to glow, Cody's eyes widened and he leaped aside, A brilliant light exploded, white but shaded with orange burst from the end of the rail gun. Arcs of light shot all around the Nemesis as it trashed around in the air and the beam plowed deep into it. The Nemesis fell and the beam began to charge up again, Cody ducked and ran toward cover. The second shot fired and it lit the Nemesis back up, a high pitched scream filling the area.
"Entering cool down mode" A male voice said, all of the batteries popped out of place and the rail gun shut down. A red light above the door flickered on, Cody looked over at the body of the Nemesis, it was smoldering. Cody smiled, it was finally dead, Cody and Jill walked toward the door when they heard a sloshing noise. Jill spun around and saw the Nemesis coming toward them, Jill jumped to the side as it spat acid at her. She rolled by the dead body of a S.W.A.T. Team member and grabbed his revolver. Jill stood up and began to shoot it, each time she did it wailed and trashed around. She walked toward it each time she fired,
"You want S.T.A.R.S, I'll give you S.T.A.R.S" She said, and finally fired the last shot straight into it's head. The Nemesis's brains stem exploded and the monster began to melt into nothing. After a few seconds all that was left of that monster that had Killed Brad, and tracked her and Cody mercilessly through the city, the monster that had blown the helicopter up and left them trapped in the city and infected her with the virus. All that was left was a large puddle of slimly puss.
* * *
The Helicopter lifted up and away, then sun was rising over the doomed City of Raccoon.
"It's here" Jill whispered, as she saw the missile fly past the 'Chopter. The zombies looked up confused as the missile plunged into the middle of the city. Rays of light shoot out from behind all the buildings as a wave of fire spread across the city decimating the clock tower, the RPD, the warehouse and all the surrounding buildings. Cody felt the helicopter jolt as the explosion erupted. Cody looked out the window and stared at the fiery red crater that used to be his home, Raccoon City.
"That's it, this time Umbrella has gone to far" Cody heard Jill say as his entire world was swallowed in blackness.
* * *
When Cody came to he could see the sun streaming in through windows of what appeared to be an apartment. Cody looked around and noticed he was in a bed, he sat up and saw that he was fully dressed, and clean. Jill walked in with a glass of water in her hand,
"Oh good your awake" Jill said,
"How. . . How long have I been sleeping?"
"Three days straight, you passed out in the helicopter and I brought you here to an Apartment in New York that I rented when I was planning on leaving Raccoon, I bought you some new clothes and washed you up" Jill said,
". . . Thanks" Cody replied, Cody got out of the bed and walked to the window, looking at he could see passing cars. "It's over. . . It's finally over" Cody whispered, he closed his eyes for a moment and let a tear run down his cheek.
"I finally made it here. . . . . . I'm finally in New York like I said I'd be. . . Wesley" Cody whispered,
Jill watched as Cody stood by the window, tears welling up in his eyes, his facial expression was one that was far beyond his age. She knew that the events that had just taken place would forever change him. She watched as tears began to slowly, silently, run down his cheeks in a dignified manner.
"Sttarrsss"
Cody stared at the disfigured beast, it's skin was charred, it's skin had been burnt away from it's face. It's skin was burnt and cracking, it's now reddish burnt skin flexed and contracted like real skin. It's fleshy tentacles hung from it's back and shoulders, they whipped and lashed in Cody's and Jill's direction. Cody pulled out the Beretta and fired with both guns, the monster screamed and whaled as it slapped the Glock from his hand with one of it's tentacles. Cody backed up and Jill sped past him, the Nemesis had been distracted with him and Jill shoved her hands into its cold, wet, slimy chest throwing it off the bridge. The Nemesis howled and splashed down on the jagged rocks below. Cody stared off the edge for a moment, swallowing slowly before he joined Jill and they headed to the Water Treatment Facility.
"It's . . . . . . Almost Over"
* * *
Carlos stood in the communications room inside the water treatment facility, trying to find some way to contact the outside world. Carlos punched a few buttons and suddenly heard static, followed by a clear women's voice
"Attention. The Raccoon City Project has been abandoned. Political maneuvering to delay federal plans has failed. All personnel must evacuate immediately to out of the ten-mile blast radius. Missiles will be launched at day break"
"Shit" Carlos mumbled, looking at his watch, "We got forty-five minutes give or take a few minutes, I got to warn Jill!" Carlos yelled out, Carlos paused for a moment then looked out the window. There was a helicopter, Carlos smirked slightly, now all he had to do was pray it had fuel. Carlos prayed to god that Cody and Jill were in the Facility by now. He'd try his best to find them, but at day break he was getting out before Raccoon became ground zero.
* * *
Cody followed Jill down a large hallway,
BAM!
A spark erupted at Cody's side and Jill pulled him behind a crater,
"Well if it isn't the billion dollar bitch and her little friend" Nicholai called out, pointing his hand out from behind a corner and shooting at them. Jill returned fire,
"I thought you were trying to get out of the city!" Jill shouted as she fired,
"Well, you see, there is a lot of money to be collected on the confirmation of both of your deaths" Nicholai yelled, firing at them again, "You see, I have exterminated all of the other watch dogs, Umbrella is only going to have to deal with me and I am going to be an extremely wealthy individual" Nicholai called back,
"Well I'm not contributing to your retirement plans" Jill called back, Nicholai turned to fire and Cody leaped out into the hallway. Nicholai was surprised and Cody fired, Nicholai screamed in pain as the bullet entered his side. Nicholai fired once more, Cody felt Nicholai's bullet hit him, warm blood running down his shoulder as he collapsed down to the cold floor. Nicholai emerged from behind the wall,
"Now you die" He said, Cody closed his eyes ready to accept death as he heard a horrible gurgling noise followed up by a loud high pitched scream. When he looked up, Nicholai was gone, Jill rushed over to Cody,
"Oh my god you've been shot!" Jill knelt down next to him, blood was seeping out of his shoulder. Jill ripped a small part of the bottom of her shirt away and used it to bandage up his shoulder. Cody slowly reached his feet,
"What did I say about trying to be a hero" Jill scolded,
"I know. . . I know" Cody groaned, fighting the nusiea back, Cody and Jill followed down the hallway and turned the corner when they heard a dripping noise. Cody looked down and saw a puddle of blood, when he looked back up he threw his head forward and threw up. Jill glanced up and saw Nicholai's body attached to the roof, his guts were hanging out of his stomach, his jugular vain was hanging out of his throat and his face had been beating unrecognizable. Jill felt sick and she looked away,
"I don't even want to know what did that to him" Jill muttered, Jill turned her head and looked at Cody, he was looking a bit pale. "You all right?" She asked,
"Yeah. . . . To much death for one day" Cody said,
"Yeah, trust me, you've seen way more then you've ever needed to see" Jill said,
Jill walked a little further just past Cody and opened another large door, the odor that came out was like a slap in the face. The most disgusting, foul odor that they'd ever smelt assaulted their noses. Cody looked like he was going to puke, they walked in and the door closed behind them.

"Good bye son, I'll always be with you and I love you" She said, but before Cody could reply, Cody woke up. Cody's eyes fluttered open and he saw the control room, Jill was picking up some sort of device and a female voice was blaring something about a missile attack.

"What in the hell?" Jill said, Cody was looking around, there was a huge lazer in the center of the room. All around were the dead corpses of other Tyrant-Like monsters all over the place. Jill walked past Cody and toward another door, she grabbed the handle but it had been electronically locked and didn't move when she pulled on it. Jill turned around and walked to a small computer set up at the base of hundreds of cords that all snaked to the giant lazer. Jill pushed a button but it didn't respond,
"Hey Cody, help me push in these batteries" Jill said, pointing to one of the three huge batteries. Cody nodded and walked to the one closest to him and pushed up against it with all his might, it clicked and a male voice said,

A red light above the door flickered on, Cody looked over at the body of the Nemesis, it was smoldering. Cody smiled, it was finally dead, Cody and Jill walked toward the door when they heard a sloshing noise. Jill spun around and saw the Nemesis coming toward them, Jill jumped to the side as it spat acid at her. She rolled by the dead body of a S.W.A.T. Team member and grabbed his revolver. Jill stood up and began to shoot it, each time she did it wailed and trashed around. She walked toward it each time she fired,
"You want S.T.A.R.S, I'll give you S.T.A.R.S" She said, and finally fired the last shot straight into it's head. The Nemesis's brains stem exploded and the monster began to melt into nothing. After a few seconds all that was left of that monster that had Killed Brad, and tracked her and Cody mercilessly through the city, the monster that had blown the helicopter up and left them trapped in the city and infected her with the virus. All that was left was a large puddle of slimly puss.

The Helicopter lifted up and away, then sun was rising over the doomed City of Raccoon.
"It's here" Jill whispered, as she saw the missile fly past the 'Chopter. The zombies looked up confused as the missile plunged into the middle of the city. Rays of light shoot out from behind all the buildings as a wave of fire spread across the city decimating the clock tower, the RPD, the warehouse and all the surrounding buildings. Cody felt the helicopter jolt as the explosion erupted. Cody looked out the window and stared at the fiery red crater that used to be his home, Raccoon City.
"That's it, this time Umbrella has gone to far" Cody heard Jill say as his entire world was swallowed in blackness.

When Cody came to he could see the sun streaming in through windows of what appeared to be an apartment. Cody looked around and noticed he was in a bed, he sat up and saw that he was fully dressed, and clean. Jill walked in with a glass of water in her hand,
"Oh good your awake" Jill said,
"How. . . How long have I been sleeping?"
"Three days straight, you passed out in the helicopter and I brought you here to an Apartment in New York that I rented when I was planning on leaving Raccoon, I bought you some new clothes and washed you up" Jill said,
". . . Thanks" Cody replied, Cody got out of the bed and walked to the window, looking at he could see passing cars. "It's over. . . It's finally over" Cody whispered, he closed his eyes for a moment and let a tear run down his cheek.
"I finally made it here. . . . . . I'm finally in New York like I said I'd be. . . Wesley" Cody whispered,
Jill watched as Cody stood by the window, tears welling up in his eyes, his facial expression was one that was far beyond his age. She knew that the events that had just taken place would forever change him. She watched as tears began to slowly, silently, run down his cheeks in a dignified manner.
