CHAPTER 7
"The Self-destruct Sequence has been activated, all personal please evacuate. You have three minutes and thirty seconds to reach minimum safe distance" The recording warned,
"BINGO!" Cody shouted out, as he hit enter and the TG-Virus was mixed with the antidote, disabling the virus's effects and neutralizing it. Cody's victory, however was short lived as the wall in front of him exploded and as a wave of water made it's way in. Cody was hit so hard he flew off the platform in a rush of water and was plunged limply back first into the water below. His arms and legs being pushed up by the rush of water.
* * *
Wesker watched as the kid sank to the bottom of the room, lifelessly. And smiled big, suddenly the camera went dead. It didn't matter, he was dead, Wesker smirked and listened as the recording kept repeating itself. He didn't have time to go after the Birken girl, but it didn't matter she'd die along with the Redfield boy when the lab exploded. He had a plane to catch, and a bounty to collect. Wesker smiled big and began to jog out of the facility, he'd have plenty of time to reach his jet and be on his way home before the lab exploded.
* * *
Sherry waited for the elevator to stop moving, and when it did the doors slid open and a rush of morning air flooded her senses. The helicopter port was massive, it was all closed in and surrounded by high walls, a flat wide asphalt landing area with a giant yellow H painted in the center of it. It was just day break, night was turning to dawn, the run rising into the sky. Sherry turned, praying to god that the elevator would go back down, and when it came back up Cody would be there smiling ready to escape with her.
"When the sequence reaches one-minute you get the hell out of here, forget about me and consider me dead." Cody's words ran painfully through Sherry's mind, time was running out, two minutes and thirty seconds.
* * *
There was a good size hole in the side of the lab, leading to the ocean outside. Water coming in much quicker now, Cody had climbed back on the platform but it was only a minute or so from flooding. And there it was, Cody's eyes widened as he saw the now serpent-like mutant Alexander swimming gracefully through the water. And right out the hole! Most likely after Sherry.
"ALEXANDER!" Cody shouted angrily, and dove into the cold water after the creature which didn't seem to pay any attention to him.
* * *
Sherry's hair was blown back as a large helicopter set down just on top of the giant yellow H in the middle of the helicopter pad. She could see Barry's smiling face through the cockpit window, and Jill next to the door, armed with a rocket launcher.
* * *
Jill could see Sherry waiting just past the elevator, a worried look on her face. Jill quickly searched the area, no sign of Cody. Once the `copter was set down Jill scrambled out and over to Sherry.
"Are you okay? Where's Cody" She asked, so quickly it sounded as if she had only said one word.
"Yeah I'm okay...." She said, then began to drift off, "He went in and hasn't come back out yet" Sherry said, her tone soft. Jill was about to speak, and it happened, it had all happened so quick she didn't know what to think. One of the walls exploded as if it had been hit with a missile, hunks of cement flying at them at vicious speeds. One hit the side of Jill's arm, putting a gash in it. Jill swung around and saw that it hadn't been a missile that had slammed into the wall, but a giant serpent like creature. Blood began to fly everywhere as it transformed. It's back flippers mutating, becoming stronger, thicker, and bigger almost like the legs of a T-Rex. Teeth, rows of massive razor sharp teeth lining the inside of the creature's mouth. It's chest becoming more bloated, it's head jerking back and becoming much more slimmer. Two, large sets of claws exploding out of it's side, bone snapping into place. And finally they were presented with their new foe, he was no longer
Alexander, or the mutated Alexander, he became death itself. The bloated creature shrieked and Jill leaped into action. No time to go for the Rocket Launcher, she pulled out her Colt Python and began to fire. Three rounds hitting it's chest, but instead of bleeding, or showing any pain it seemed to grin at her through a lipless mouth. A tentacle flew from the creature's deformed chest and hit Jill in the chest, sending her flying. Jill hit the ground, ready to accept her on coming fate.
"In coming!" A voice called,
* * *
After yelling out, Cody got a firm grip on both the H&K and the Ruger and leaped off the crumbled side of the building. Doing a half flip in the air as he began to fire, right in the face of Alexander. Each bullet hitting it's mark and drawing Alexander's attention away from Jill and Sherry. Cody hit the ground shoulder first, ignoring the pain for a moment as he rushed to his feet, still firing into the eyes of Alexander. Cody went dry and tossed the guns aside, going for the Rocket Launcher that was sitting on the edge of the helicopter door. But as he got close, something smooth and slick wrapped around his leg, like a slimy rope that pulled him off his feet. Causing Cody to smack his head on the cement ground, Cody turned over and Alexander had one of his tentacle's wrapped around his leg and pulling him toward him. Cody pulled out his combat knife and stabbed it into the monster's fleshy tentacle, it roared out and let go. Cody scrambled on all fours, trying to stand up
he stumbled and fell catching the rocket launcher on the way down. He flipped over, taking aim, closing one eye.
-Welcome to Alexander's maze of death-
-You fell right into my trap-
-DIE!-
-You'll never escape-
Alexander opened his mouth all the way and roared,
"Goto hell!" Cody spat, and pulled the trigger, he was jerked up a bit as a cloud of smoke filled behind him. The rocket was a blur of smoke and fire that flew right into Alexander's open mouth.
KA-BOOM!
The entire upper half of Alexander exploded in a flash of heated light, blood and fragments of bone flying everywhere as he was decimated. The rest of his body collapsed into the ground, melting into a giant puddle of puss, melted flesh and blood. it hadn't been two seconds after Alexander had met his fate that Cody dove into the Cabin, Jill and Sherry only moments behind.
"Get us out of here now!" Jill shouted, and the `copter lifted into the air and sped away.
* * *
"You have three seconds, two one. Activation completed"
At that very moment, every explosive that was wired through the testing facility, the upper lab, and the estate were activated. With a defining roar, and a thunder clap of sound, the lab, testing facility, and estate exploded. A ball of fire running through the top of the lab caused it all to begin to collapse. The upper lab burning for a few seconds before it gave in, all of the floors falling down and crushing the flooded lab below, causing it to sink deep into the ocean, buried under thousands of tons of smoldering ruble. The cove that held the estate went up in a large fire ball that swelled up high into the morning sky, creating a loud boom that shook the earth for miles. As the ball of fire died away, the estate wreckage burned into nothing more then ash. And all that remained of the Paris lab was a water filled crater.
* * *
Barry glanced back at the cabin, Jill was staring out the hatch window, watching as black smoke filled the air. Cody and Sherry, who both were smeared with dry blood, dirt, and even ash marks were all ready asleep. Sherry's head leaned against Cody's shoulder, and Cody's arm around her waist. Barry half smiled, it seemed that escaping death brought people close. Soon they'd be back at the safe house, Leon, Chris, Rebecca and Claire would be waiting to greet them. Chris had successful saved Claire, and had even radioed back that the Captain Albert Wesker was alive, Captain Albert fucking Wesker. . . It didn't matter right now, not at this second in time, right now Barry was happy, two Umbrella facilities in one day, that was a step in the right direction.
