CHAPTER 5
She screamed out in surprise and disgust jumping back a foot. In her left hand she raised the Beretta and fired three times into the forehead of her cannibal attacker, dropping it dead on the ground. But the noise had caused the others to break away from their meal and start off toward her. Sherry had no choice, she raised the shot gun, pointed high and fired, the scatter shot taking off the heads of all the zombies. Their bodies still coming a few inches before collapsing to the ground dead. Sherry ran over them, not looking at them because she knew if she did she'd probably throw up or something. She quickly opened the door in front of her, and found herself on the second floor balcony that over looked the main hallway.
"Now were to?" She asked herself, looking over the giant main room, she decided to take the closest door which lead her to a large room, it was rectangle shaped and had railing all around, a thin walking space. The center was gone, and she could see down to the bottom floor. There was one lone zombie stumbling around, but rather then waste ammo on it she ran the opposite way it was and entered another room. This room was square shaped and was one big walk way that lead to a set of descending stairs. She'd been lucky to not get caught by any zombies yet, but her luck was quickly running out. As she reached the foot of the stairs she could hear several moans, and the sound of shuffling feet. Sherry raised the Beretta, and caught a glimpse of the army of the undead that was stumbling toward her. Sherry hesitated, turned back the other way and saw a group of zombies heading down the stairs.
"They've found me!" She thought, she raised the Beretta and fired, one shot into the neck of a zombie heading toward her from the lower floor. She jumped the railing and shot twice more, dropping down two more zombies. She needed to reload, no time, they were closing in fast. She looked to her side and found a door, her savior, Sherry grabbed the door knob and twisted, pushing in as quick as she could and kicking the door shut-
She could feel the cold barrel of a gun being pressed up against the back of her head.
"Don't shoot!" She cried out, in shock, her voice quickly shifting to one of fear.
"I thought you were one of them" A male voice said softly, the gun being pulled away and Sherry let out a sigh of relief. She turned and saw a adult man sitting against a crate, he was dressed in torn jeans, and a blood stained lab coat, his blonde hair all messed up and smudges of dirt all over his face.
"Who are you?" Sherry asked, "And what happened to this place?"
"There was a spill... In one of the lower labs, they closed the doors off to this place and left all the scientists here until they could clean it up. Earlier today, the main frame began to mess up releasing the virus on the upper levels and unlocking all the doors. I had managed to survive so far... I was about to escape using the elevator in the training level when...." He trailed off,
"When what?" She asked,
"They will most likely blow the base up to try and hide the evidence, most of the virus is all ready neutralized but... But there is still a batch of it that needs to be neutralized, you have to get to the main frame computer to do that. I helped create that damn virus, I know I am going to hell but if I can do one good deed... At least I'll die knowing that virus wasn't released into the water" He said,
"So you came back trying to neutralize it?" She asked,
"Yeah, but there was this creature... A tyrant type creature that must've been injected with the X-Virus the same type the Nemesis Tyrant was. I didn't try to kill it because if I had, then it would've revived itself and hunted me down. You see, the X-Virus is ment to be used as a Super virus, one that allows you to program the monster to hunt down someone. They let the creature die, then as it is dying they show it who they want dead, it remembers that and only hunts the person it is programmed to hunt" He explained,
-Sherry fumbled in a new shell, cocked it, took aim again and fired. This time she'd loaded a buck shot, giving her the effect of a super shot gun that blew the Monster's brains against the wall. Sherry watched as it died, it seemed to be staring at her, staring at her right before it died in a puddle of thick purple blood-
"I.. I killed it when it was after my friend" She said softly, "And it was staring at me when it died"
"Shit... It's going to be after you, and who is this friend your talking about?"
"Cody Redfield, me and him got stuck here and have been trying to look for an exit" She said,
"Ah... I heard about him, the Redfields have been giving Umbrella hell lately... Good someone needs to, all you can do about that Tyrant... Is run" He said,
"... I need a medical kit for my friend, do you know where I could find one?" Sherry asked, the man nodded and pulled a medical kit down from the crate he was leaning against.
"There are about fifteen or so zombies out there, I don't have much ammo left..." Sherry started,
"I should be trying to get down to the main frame, so how about we work together. Clear the zombies out of the hallway and then you can go help your friend and I'll get back to making my way to the main frame" He interrupted, Sherry nodded in agreement. The man slowly stood up, pointed his gun to the door and put his hand on the door knob. Sherry walked slowly behind him, her hands sweating and gripped tightly around the gun. He opened the door, and before she could blink started firing, Sherry hurried out the door way as he did and joined in. Sherry's ears were ringing at the loud sounds of gun fire, but she didn't pay any attention to it. It was only a few moments before the hallway was filled with the corpses of zombies, the gun fire stopping.
"You'd better get going, and good luck" The man said,
"You too Sherry replied" She was about to walk away when, the wall seemed to explode it all happened so fast. She could hear the man screaming, then the sound of blood spraying across the walls. By the time she knew what was happening, the mutant Alexander had the man in mid-air, his left arm sliced right off. The man screamed in pain as Alexander put one of it's tentacles over his face, and slowly began to squeeze. It took a few seconds before the man let out his last scream and his skull was crushed. Sherry screamed as Alexander tossed the headless body away as if it were trash then turned it's attention to her.
"RUN!" Her mind screamed, she did so, Sherry broke into a full run up the stairs as the monster roared, dropped down it's tentacles and dashed after her.
"shitoshitoshitoshit!" Her mind screamed, as the stairs were ripped apart and suddenly, the monster was stuck. Sherry looked behind her and the monster had gotten wedged in the hallway coming up, it trashed around, the wood creaking. Sherry was about to run when something caught her eye, a blow torch. Sherry picked it up off the ground, the gage on it telling her that it was completely full. Sherry smiled slightly, then tossed it down at Alexander, the can landing on it's mutated shoulder. Sherry aimed, then fired, there was a brilliant flash of light and a loud rumble and she was thrown through the wooden railing and found herself against the wall. Where the stairs had once been was a massive fire, blood was splattered all over the walls and the room was quickly filling with the stench of burning flesh. Sherry ignored her wounds, scrambled to her feet and rushed out the door.
* * *
"Is anyone there? Cody, Sherry do you two read me?" Jill called out, holding a radio up to her mouth. There was static, and that was it.
"They may not be in any type of control room yet, try again later" Barry said, Jill sighed, she wanted so much to know they were all right.
* * *
When Cody came to, he found himself in a tight, dark place. His body hurt all over, and he couldn't seem to move a lot.
"Where am I?" He asked himself, "Sherry...?" He called softly, there was no answer, and he began to panic. "SHERRY!" He called out louder, still no answer. Cody started to try and move around, he was stuck behind some kind of door. Though it hurt to move, Cody managed to turn himself around, put his feet against the door and kick as hard as he could. He could hear wood splintering under the force of his blow, he kicked again and light shined in his face. Cody yelled out, and kicked one last time, the door flying open and a bed sliding. Cody was in the room he'd been in before, except in the closet now. The wall and door in front of him looked as if they'd been brutally beaten off.
-Cody reloaded and fired again, the scatter shot spraying over it's face. It screamed again and with a whip of it's tentacle sent Cody flying back into the room he'd once been in. Withering in pain, Cody managed to keep firing, puncturing holes in the rubber like skin of the monster.-
Cody remembered, the monster, it had attacked him before he blacked out. Sherry, Cody had to find her, he had to find Sherry. His body hurt, but there was no pain strong enough to keep him from her. He began to move, slowly at first, Cody limped toward the next hallway when he caught a glimpse of Sherry. She saw him and hurried over to him,
"Your okay!" He cried out,
"Cody lay down, look at you" Sherry said, helping him over to the bed. As he laid back Sherry opened the medical kit. She looked up-
And he was looking up at her, for a moment all they did was stare into each others eyes. Cody smiled up at her, and she smiled back down at him. Sherry quickly though, snapped out of it. "Let's get to those wounds of yours"
* * *
Wesker had landed on the beach next to where the coral formation could be seen. He'd all ready been briefed on how to get in, Umbrella couldn't keep secrets good obviously, considering all of their enemies had information on them. Wesker stopped, started kicking at the dirt, and before he knew it he kicked something metal. Wesker pulled open a hatch, smiling.
"Here I come" He whispered, as he climbed down the hatch.
* * *
"You sure you can walk?" Sherry asked, looking Cody over who was now holding the shot gun and facing the door. He had a few bandages on his arms and legs, he probably had a few broken ribs, but all she could do for him was tape his ribs up with duct tape.
"I'll be fine, and thanks again Sherry" Cody said,
"Hey no problem" She replied, smiling at Cody.
"Is there anything else I need to know besides that you've got a monster chasing you?" Cody asked,
"Yeah..." She said softly, "I ran into this guy who said that when this place blew up, there was a batch of the T-Virus that would leak into the ocean. And the only way to stop it would be for us to mix it together with the anti-virus and.... Uhh" Sherry said, Cody turned around and looked at Sherry.
"And what?" Cody asked, Sherry didn't reply, her eyes looked glossy and her skin was paling.
"Cody... I feel sick" She said slowly, right before falling forward, Cody lunged forward and caught her. Holding her tight as her legs gave out, Cody silently laid her against the bed.
"Sherry... What happened?" He asked, then he saw it-
-"We can't keep doing this," Cody muttered and looked at Sherry. There were a few scratch marks on her arm.-
The scratch marks on Sherry's arms look far beyond infected, the skin around it was swollen purple, puss leaking out.
"Oh god.." Cody whispered to himself, she was infected with the T-Virus, there was no doubt in his mind. "Your not dying on me" Cody whispered, picking her up, she was all ready unconscious. Sherry had said something about there being an anti-virus that would be used to neutralize the T-Virus, so he'd go and find it.... Use it to heal Sherry.
* * *
Wesker stood in the control room, flipping through the cameras, looking for the two kids. He smiled when he came over them, Cody was carrying Sherry down a replica hallway of the Spencer Estate.
"So there you are my little rats" Wesker said, then started laughing to himself. "I'll see you soon" He said, then started laughing as he walked off down the hallway.
* * *
With everything in his body Cody hated this place, he hated Umbrella, he hated all of it. All he wanted was to get out of here, and no matter how hard he tried it seems that the stakes were all ways raised impossibly high. Cody looked down at Sherry as he walked.
"I..." He whispered, but stopped. He'd make it out of here, not for himself, not for anyone but her. And he wasn't leaving with out her, that he knew, not with out her.
* * *
-Running.-
-Can't stop running-
-There is no way out-
-Darkness, surrounded-
Sherry found herself in a room of darkness, surrounded by the darkness. No one was there with her, all alone, and trapped with no way out.
-Can't Breathe-
-Can't see-
-Help me someone-
"Help me!" She called out, there was no answer. "Help me!" She called out louder,
"Sherry!" A voice called out,
"CODY?!" She cried out in joy, and suddenly she was no longer surrounded in darkness but light. She could see a shadowy figure walking toward her, a thick fog blocking her view. The clouds parted and she could see Cody, walking toward her and smiling. She ran for him, to inbrace him, she grabbed for him and went right there him.-
She feel on her hands and knees, and suddenly it was dark again. She turned around, and suddenly standing before her was a zombie, Cody. She went to scream but nothing came out. It lunged for her-
* * *
"AHH!!" Sherry screamed, her eyes opening and she saw Cody's worried face looking down at her. "Cody" She said softly, then relaxed in his arms, fighting back the sick feeling that was running through her entire body.
"It's going to be all right . . . I think I've found the lab" Cody said, Sherry struggled to lift her head and look around, the walls were all shining with a metallic gleam. Sherry felt Cody setting her down as she closed her eyes. She could hear him shuffling through crates, the sound of paper hitting the floor, and metal smacking together. Sherry's eye lids felt heavy, she just wanted to lay down and go to sleep, but something kept her awake, something in her kept her laying there and waiting for Cody to rescue her.
"I think I've found it" She heard him say, his voice getting soft. She felt dizzy, and hot, as if her blood was littearly boiling. She barely felt her arm being raised, and a slight stinging feeling right before her world was enveloped in darkness.
* * *
It had been an few hours since Cody had injected Sherry with the anti-virus and she still hadn't woken up. Cody was dreaming about meeting his father when he started to wake up. Sherry's head was against his right shoulder, her breathing was slow. Cody didn't know if she was now sleeping or still unconscious, but he was very aware of his surroundings and knew now wasn't the time to sleep. He gently nudged her, and to his surprise she yawned slightly and opened her eyes.
"Your awake" Cody said softly,
"I feel... Much better am I healed?" She said almost in a whisper,
"You should be" He said, smiling he stood up as Sherry moved her head away and joined him.
"We finally ready to get out of here?" She asked,
"One last thing, we need to shut down the main frame" Cody replied,
"All right Cody.." Sherry said softly, Cody smirked and the two ran off.
* * *
Cody typed as fast as he could, trying to find some way to maybe hack into the main frame, his attempts were frivolous. Suddenly, Cody heard someone walking behind him, he glanced to the left, Sherry wasn't moving. Cody looked over his shoulder, and there walking in his direction was a man dressed in black, black sunglasses and spiked blonde hair.
"Who are you?" Cody asked, quickly turning around and pointing the gun at the man's head.
"Albert Wesker" He said,
"Captain Albert Wesker?! Impossible! He was killed at the Spencer Estate, it was all over the news paper!" Cody shouted, in complete and utter disbelief. Wesker smirked,
"Guess they were wrong, and you must be Cody Redfield, I've come along way to collect on the price on your head" Wesker said, his smirk becoming a more serious look.
"Your a fool, I'll send you back to hell where you belong!" Cody spat, and fired one shot at Wesker's head. The bullet hit the wall, not Wesker, who was a blur of motion, moving so fast Cody's eyes couldn't react, and the next second Cody's gun was being slapped against the room and Cody was being slammed against the wall.
"Like father like son" Wesker whispered, putting his hand around Cody's neck and lifting him in the air.
"STOP THAT!" Sherry shouted, grabbing onto Wesker, but with inhuman strength, and a simple wave of his free arm Sherry was sent flying across the room.
"There is a lot of money to be collected on the confirmation of your death, Umbrella isn't the only company that wants to see to your death" Wesker said, "And the Birken girl will be coming with me" He added, Cody made his right hand into a fist and punched Wesker across the face, knocking his glasses off his head. Wesker turned, and looked up at Cody, Cody was shocked to see Wesker's gold, cat-like eyes.
"W-what are you?!" Cody choked out,
"I am a god" He said,
"Whatever you are..." Cody choked out, "Your still a man!" Cody kicked forward as hard as he could, kicking Wesker right in the groin. His eyes going widen as he dropped Cody, Cody landed on his knees gasping for air. Cody rubbed his neck and quickly searched the area for his gun. Before he could blink, he felt a tight pain in his jaw and the room was a blur of motion around him, and his body came down as it slammed into the steel wall on the other side of the room.
"You fucking brat" Wesker spat, getting to his feet slowly. Cody pushed himself off the ground as-
Sherry tossed him her gun, Cody aimed and fired, before he could blink Wesker had a closed hand right in front of his head, when he opened his hand the bullet fell to the ground-
"HOW! HE CAUGHT IT?!" Cody shouted out in fear,
"Your a stupid child, I am begging to wonder how you made it out of Raccoon" Wesker hissed, then took a step forward and drew out a combat knife. "You won't make it out of here though" He said, with a grin. Cody, mustered together all his strength and made it to his feet.
"Not with out a fight" Cody whispered, then charged at Wesker, Cody threw punches as fast as he could, yet none of them were fast enough. Wesker seemed to be blocking each punch with complete ease. Cody smirked, he jammed the gun forward, point blank range, then fired. Wesker had no time to dodge, not before he was thrown off his feet and six more shots hit his chest. Cody pointed to gun at Wesker's head-
-click-
"Shit" Cody whispered,
"Need another clip?" Sherry asked,
"No time, lets just get the hell out of here" Cody replied, turning and making a dash for the door.
She screamed out in surprise and disgust jumping back a foot. In her left hand she raised the Beretta and fired three times into the forehead of her cannibal attacker, dropping it dead on the ground. But the noise had caused the others to break away from their meal and start off toward her. Sherry had no choice, she raised the shot gun, pointed high and fired, the scatter shot taking off the heads of all the zombies. Their bodies still coming a few inches before collapsing to the ground dead. Sherry ran over them, not looking at them because she knew if she did she'd probably throw up or something. She quickly opened the door in front of her, and found herself on the second floor balcony that over looked the main hallway.
"Now were to?" She asked herself, looking over the giant main room, she decided to take the closest door which lead her to a large room, it was rectangle shaped and had railing all around, a thin walking space.

She looked to her side and found a door, her savior, Sherry grabbed the door knob and twisted, pushing in as quick as she could and kicking the door shut-
She could feel the cold barrel of a gun being pressed up against the back of her head.
"Don't shoot!" She cried out, in shock, her voice quickly shifting to one of fear.
"I thought you were one of them" A male voice said softly, the gun being pulled away and Sherry let out a sigh of relief.

"Is there anything else I need to know besides that you've got a monster chasing you?" Cody asked,
"Yeah..." She said softly, "I ran into this guy who said that when this place blew up, there was a batch of the T-Virus that would leak into the ocean.

"And what?" Cody asked, Sherry didn't reply, her eyes looked glossy and her skin was paling.

-Running.-
-Can't stop running-
-There is no way out-
-Darkness, surrounded-
Sherry found herself in a room of darkness, surrounded by the darkness. No one was there with her, all alone, and trapped with no way out.
-Can't Breathe-
-Can't see-
-Help me someone-
"Help me!" She called out, there was no answer. "Help me!" She called out louder,
"Sherry!" A voice called out,
"CODY?!" She cried out in joy, and suddenly she was no longer surrounded in darkness but light. She could see a shadowy figure walking toward her, a thick fog blocking her view. The clouds parted and she could see Cody, walking toward her and smiling. She ran for him, to inbrace him, she grabbed for him and went right there him.-
She feel on her hands and knees, and suddenly it was dark again. She turned around, and suddenly standing before her was a zombie, Cody. She went to scream but nothing came out. It lunged for her-
* * *
"AHH!!" Sherry screamed, her eyes opening and she saw Cody's worried face looking down at her. "Cody" She said softly, then relaxed in his arms, fighting back the sick feeling that was running through her entire body.
"It's going to be all right . . . I think I've found the lab" Cody said, Sherry struggled to lift her head and look around, the walls were all shining with a metallic gleam. Sherry felt Cody setting her down as she closed her eyes. She could hear him shuffling through crates, the sound of paper hitting the floor, and metal smacking together. Sherry's eye lids felt heavy, she just wanted to lay down and go to sleep, but something kept her awake, something in her kept her laying there and waiting for Cody to rescue her.
"I think I've found it" She heard him say, his voice getting soft. She felt dizzy, and hot, as if her blood was littearly boiling. She barely felt her arm being raised, and a slight stinging feeling right before her world was enveloped in darkness.

It had been an few hours since Cody had injected Sherry with the anti-virus and she still hadn't woken up. Cody was dreaming about meeting his father when he started to wake up. Sherry's head was against his right shoulder, her breathing was slow. Cody didn't know if she was now sleeping or still unconscious, but he was very aware of his surroundings and knew now wasn't the time to sleep. He gently nudged her, and to his surprise she yawned slightly and opened her eyes.
"Your awake" Cody said softly,
"I feel... Much better am I healed?" She said almost in a whisper,
"You should be" He said, smiling he stood up as Sherry moved her head away and joined him.
"We finally ready to get out of here?" She asked,
"One last thing, we need to shut down the main frame" Cody replied,
"All right Cody.." Sherry said softly, Cody smirked and the two ran off.

Cody typed as fast as he could, trying to find some way to maybe hack into the main frame, his attempts were frivolous. Suddenly, Cody heard someone walking behind him, he glanced to the left, Sherry wasn't moving. Cody looked over his shoulder, and there walking in his direction was a man dressed in black, black sunglasses and spiked blonde hair.
"Who are you?" Cody asked, quickly turning around and pointing the gun at the man's head.
"Albert Wesker" He said,
"Captain Albert Wesker?! Impossible! He was killed at the Spencer Estate, it was all over the news paper!" Cody shouted, in complete and utter disbelief. Wesker smirked,
"Guess they were wrong, and you must be Cody Redfield, I've come along way to collect on the price on your head" Wesker said, his smirk becoming a more serious look.
"Your a fool, I'll send you back to hell where you belong!" Cody spat, and fired one shot at Wesker's head. The bullet hit the wall, not Wesker, who was a blur of motion, moving so fast Cody's eyes couldn't react, and the next second Cody's gun was being slapped against the room and Cody was being slammed against the wall.
"Like father like son" Wesker whispered, putting his hand around Cody's neck and lifting him in the air.
"STOP THAT!" Sherry shouted, grabbing onto Wesker, but with inhuman strength, and a simple wave of his free arm Sherry was sent flying across the room.
"There is a lot of money to be collected on the confirmation of your death, Umbrella isn't the only company that wants to see to your death" Wesker said, "And the Birken girl will be coming with me" He added, Cody made his right hand into a fist and punched Wesker across the face, knocking his glasses off his head. Wesker turned, and looked up at Cody, Cody was shocked to see Wesker's gold, cat-like eyes.
"W-what are you?!" Cody choked out,
"I am a god" He said,
"Whatever you are..." Cody choked out, "Your still a man!" Cody kicked forward as hard as he could, kicking Wesker right in the groin. His eyes going widen as he dropped Cody, Cody landed on his knees gasping for air. Cody rubbed his neck and quickly searched the area for his gun. Before he could blink, he felt a tight pain in his jaw and the room was a blur of motion around him, and his body came down as it slammed into the steel wall on the other side of the room.
"You fucking brat" Wesker spat, getting to his feet slowly. Cody pushed himself off the ground as-
Sherry tossed him her gun, Cody aimed and fired, before he could blink Wesker had a closed hand right in front of his head, when he opened his hand the bullet fell to the ground-
"HOW! HE CAUGHT IT?!" Cody shouted out in fear,
"Your a stupid child, I am begging to wonder how you made it out of Raccoon" Wesker hissed, then took a step forward and drew out a combat knife. "You won't make it out of here though" He said, with a grin. Cody, mustered together all his strength and made it to his feet.
"Not with out a fight" Cody whispered, then charged at Wesker, Cody threw punches as fast as he could, yet none of them were fast enough. Wesker seemed to be blocking each punch with complete ease. Cody smirked, he jammed the gun forward, point blank range, then fired. Wesker had no time to dodge, not before he was thrown off his feet and six more shots hit his chest. Cody pointed to gun at Wesker's head-

"Shit" Cody whispered,
"Need another clip?" Sherry asked,
"No time, lets just get the hell out of here" Cody replied, turning and making a dash for the door.
