Chapter 14
The two trucks drove at a steady pace through the snow. It was bitter cold, but their ticket out of there would be there soon.
"Let me drive," said Erika leaning back in her seat.
"No," said Tyler. "You have a concussion. Just relax, we'll be out of here soon."
Erika nodded and looked to the back of the truck. Half of the survivors were packed back there, shivering from the cold. They all seemed relieved that this was all over.
But nothing's over, she thought as she looked through the windshield. We have to stop Umbrella permanently. Knowing that more and more are mounting against them, we will surely succeed.
Hiro followed the truck in front of them carefully. A friend of Tyler's would be coming to get them.
Elza was seated next to him. Alex was asleep in her lap, and the other half of the survivors were in the back.
Too bad we don't have any proof, he thought. All those discs are gone, and-
Suddenly, a disc was presented right in front of his face. Elza laughed, and held it in front of her.
"This is the one you left me," she explained. "I kept it really close. This should have enough to launch a full investigation of Umbrella."
Hiro smiled at her in relief. "Good job, Elza. We have proof now."
"Hey, you can always count on me. I'm more than ready to join the war."
"War?"
"War. They started it, so we'll be the ones to finish it. No one else will have to suffer."
"A war...yeah I'm ready to join, too. But what are we gonna do about him?" He motioned to Alex.
"I dunno...he's suffered so terribly. I need to fight this war, but he needs help. He came out of the shock, but he'll need therapy for at least three years. He's my responsibility and all, but..."
Suddenly, the truck in front of them came to a stop. Hiro stepped on the brakes and stopped too. Elza squinted through the windshield to see a large warehouse and an airplane strip.
"This is it?" she breathed softly.
Hiro shrugged. "I guess so."
Within minutes they were all in the warehouse, waiting for Tyler's friend. It was well heated, but still cold.
"Isn't he coming?" asked Erika.
"I trust him," said Tyler. "I know he'll come."
Alex had woken up and was looking around. He shivered slightly. "I'm cold."
Elza took a coat off a rack and put it around his shoulders. "We'll be out of here soon, so don't worry."
"...Okay."
They waited. And waited. And waited some more. Then, after a half hour, they heard the sounds of a plane. Everyone got out of the way as a massive cargo plane landed on the huge strip. Luckily, it had stopped snowing, so the engines probably wouldn't freeze.
The door opened and a young man emerged. He looked at all the tired faces in visible relief.
Tyler approached him. "I'm glad you're here."
"No prob," said the young man. "I'm glad there's so many survivors."
Tyler faced everyone. "This is Leon Kennedy. He's a Raccoon City survivor."
Leon motioned to the plane. "Let's go. That conference in New York City is soon. I bet you all will want to trash it."
Everyone herded towards the plane. As Elza approached the plane with Alex, Leon shot her a look.
"You look familiar," he said. "Do I know you? Maybe we met in Raccoon..."
Elza laughed and shook her head. "Nah, I left that city behind months before." She presented her hand to him. "Elza Walker. I'm a professional motorcycle daredevil."
Leon shook her hand. "I think I saw you on ESPN...anyway, climb aboard."
Elza complied. Hiro shot him a look. "'Do I know you?' 'Maybe we met in Raccoon?'"
"I think I met her," said Leon. "I just don't know where."
Sherry looked at the people in the plane. All of them looked tired and completely relieved. She couldn't blame them.
She shivered from the cold air and tugged at the coat around her. She was glad Leon had her dressed for this kind of weather. She knew all about how sinister Umbrella was. As a Raccoon City survivor, she knew all too well...
"Hello," said a soft voice. Sherry glanced up to see a pretty woman there.
It's strange, thought Sherry. I think I met her somewhere...
She did remind Sherry a lot of Claire; even though this woman didn't look a thing like her.
"Hi," Sherry murmured. It was then she noticed a boy at her side. He was smaller than Sherry, and looked younger. "I'm Sherry."
"I'm Elza," said the woman. "This is Alex."
"Hi," said Alex.
Sherry saw the look on the boy's face. He looked like he was traumatized. "Alex, I have a deck of cards. You want to play 'Go-Fish'?"
"How do you play that?"
"I'll show you. C'mon." Sherry stood up and took his hand. Alex looked at Elza for a moment. When he saw her smile, he followed Sherry to the back where the cards were.
"She related to you?" asked Elza.
"Who, Sherry?" asked Leon. "No. Her parents are dead, and Umbrella's been hounding her aunt and her. So she was left in my care."
Elza nodded. She didn't need to ask what happened to Sherry's parents. She looked at all the grim faces around her. Erika seemed to look a lot better. Someone was bandaging up Tyler's arm. And Hiro took a seat next to her, following her gaze, which was now on the kids.
"Quite a war," said Hiro.
"No kidding," said Leon. "Umbrella has too much power and too much money. We don't want any more civilians involved."
Elza stared out the foggy window. "How long 'till we get to New York?"
"About two hours," said Leon. "But that's a problem."
"Why?"
"That speech the Head of Umbrella is gonna give is in an hour and a half."
"Shit."
"We'll make it in time," said Erika.
"We're gonna bust into the UN building?" asked Tyler.
"Yes," said Elza. "But we need a plan...Leon. Do you know anyone in New York that has a motorcycle I can borrow?"
Leon grinned a wide grin. "As a matter of fact, I do."
"This is crazy!!" said Claire into her cell phone. "You can't just waltz in there! That'd be, like, a federal offense!"
"Please Claire," said Leon. "This is the only way. One of the survivors is skilled at this."
"What, breaking in?"
"No, motorcycles!! She...well, she was on ESPN."
Claire thought about it long and hard. Then it came to her. "Elza Walker."
"Exactly. She's right here. She's got a solid plan, and we don't have any other choice. Please..."
"...Fine. But if my bike gets trashed..."
"Don't worry." This was a new voice. "My main passion is motorcycles. It's in good hands."
"Elza Walker, I guess."
"That's right. Just loosen up. My plan will work."
"So you see," said the Head of Umbrella, waving to the overhead which portrayed his plans. "I only want to help the world in its on-going struggle against the developing odds--"
"STOP!!!!!!!!!" someone screamed. Those present in the meeting room, the world leaders, turned their heads towards the exit doors. They heard...an engine.
"This keep surfacing as a result of incompetent decisions in our world today," he said hastily, not liking the engine sounds. "So I propose--"
The door slammed open. A blond woman was there on a motorcycle. She directed it down the stairs, wearing a smug grin. She parked it in the center of the room, next to the Head.
"Security!!!" yelled someone. There was no one there. "Security!! Dammit, where are they?!?!"
"Let us in!!!!" screamed the survivors. All forty of them were trying to push themselves inside, but all the security was keeping them away. Not too far away, Leon was surveilancing this with the two kids by his side.
I seem to always miss the fun, he thought. But I guess someone needs to watch these kids...
"Oh my God, she did it!!!!" declared Claire. She was listening to the car radio. "And she actually parked the bike in the middle of the room!! This is going well!!!"
"I'm sorry to disturb all of you," said Elza. "But you all must know the truth. This man here doesn't mean what he says. He wants more space for his bo-hazardous experiments."
"That's not true!!!" cried the Head. "I want--"
Elza pulled out a gun and pointed it to his head. "Shut the fuck up or I'll blow your teeth out." She turned back to the world leaders, still holding her gun to the head's face.
"I know all too well. I just barely escaped from a facility of this bastard's, and it wasn't a pleasure cruise."
"Liar!!!! You lying bitch!!!"
Elza punched him with her free fist. She pulled the disc which had the Head's presentation on it and tossed it into the air. With one shot, it shattered to pieces. The Head screamed in rage, but Elza was already putting in her disc. Umbrella's actual plans were portrayed.
"They want to take over the world," seethed Elza. "Don't listen to anymore of this man's lies."
They looked at the data in horror. The head looked like a cornered rat, and he started to back away.
"You won't escape!!!!" screamed Elza. She got ready to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, the room filled with smoke. Elza coughed, hearing movement all around her. When the smoke cleared, the head was gone.
"Dammit!!!!!" she screamed. Then she noticed everyone was silently looking at her. Even the TV cameras were pointed at her.
She flashed a peace sign at the closest camera. "HI!!!!!!! I'm Elza Walker!!!!!! I dedicate this prevention of disaster to all my fans!!!!!!!"
"And that's the story, sir," said Hiro.
The president sighed. "I can't even trust my own cabinet!!!"
"Well, with the plan exposed, I'm sure no other incidents will rise up."
"We can only hope. We've suffered long enough because of them. I commend you for your bravery."
"I've been through a lot, but I'm more than willing to join this war."
"What about my raise?" asked Erika.
"Huh?" asked her superior.
"I exposed Umbrella's plan to the entire world. You promised me a raise. Or did you think I was gonna die?"
"No, no. You'll get your raise. And a promotion."
"Thank you."
"There's so many survivors!!" said Claire. "How did you do it?!"
"We kept them together," said Elza. "y'know, just a routine thing."
"I swear, I've met you somewhere," said Leon.
"Me too," said Sherry.
Elza laughed. "Well, my reputation is notorious..."
"Thanks for rescuing us," said Tyler.
"No prob," said Leon. "What are friends for?"
"Well, at least Umbrella won't get away with this."
"The only problem is...where's Umbrella's head?"
much later...
Jill Valentine burst into the room. "Everyone!! I found his location!!"
The people present looked up. The room was filled with people; soldiers in the fight against Umbrella.
Barry Burton stood. "Good!! Where?"
"After the incident at the UN, be went back to his HQ. He climbed into a spaceship and went to Mars."
"What?" said Elza. "Mars?!"
"Umbrella built a space colony up there years ago. They're developing a new virus from the bacteria off the surface."
"You've gotta be kidding me," groaned Leon.
"The spaceship is well-advanced. It usually takes a year to get to Mars, but he got there in a matter of hours."
There was a shocked silence following her words. Elza stood. "Well, no use sitting around here."
"We may be too late," said Hiro.
"They obviously got another space ship like the one he took. All we gotta do is find it and steal it."
"Good idea!!" said Chris Redfield. "We can take him down on Mars!!"
Everyone started talking at once. Elza held a bright smile, knowing she could manage.
We can do it, she thought. I want to take care of Alex, and his needs are important. But Umbrella needs to go down. Some of us may not come out of this alive. But as long as we stand as a team, we can take them down. Besides...I've never been into space. Looks like I get to try something new!! And I have a bullet with Umbrella's head's name on it!!!!!
I'm done!!!!!!! OMG, I'm so sorry I took so long to put this up!!! I have no excuse for it either. But it's done, and I know everyone wants more. I might write a sequal, but I want everyone's opinion. Don't hold it against me for putting it off. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this fanfic with all you hearts. Thanks for reading!!!!!!! ^_^
