Chapter 7
Chris walked out of Alpha lab & headed towards the main hall, gun in hand. He was surprised to see Leon & Steve near the stairs.
"Freeze." Chris said firmly.
Steve turned round, seeming startled. Leon simply stood by the banister at the bottom of the stairs.
"Well, Mr Redfield wants to play does he? Bring it on." Steve said.
Chris slowly edged his way towards Leon, Steve however, seemed intent to fight Chris. Steve ran towards Chris & knocked his gun away before he even realized what was going on. All too suddenly, Chris was back to a familiar situation, him being completely outclassed by a biologically enhanced being. Just as with Wesker, Chris was helpless against Steve.
Why doesn't Leon do something...
"Chris!" Claire cried.
"Stay back Claire. It's too dangerous." Leon said calmly.
"Leon!? What's going on?" Jill asked, unable to hide her surprise.
"Isn't it obvious? Chris picked a fight with the wrong person & I intend to stay out of it." Leon replied, his emotions completely unreadable.
"What's wrong with you?" Claire asked.
"Nothing. I know there isn't anything I can do about this, so..." Leon trailed off, seeming not to be worried about the situation.
"Chris could die Leon! Don't you care?" Claire retorted.
"Chris will be a little bruised at most. There isn't anything to worry about." Leon replied.
"Why do you say that?" Jill asked cautiously.
"Have you forgotten Alpha already?" Leon replied blankly.
"About Wesker?" Barry asked.
"That's right. He isn't allowed to do anything serious to any of you because Wesker wants all of you." Leon replied.
"Claire...get out, okay?" Chris barely managed. Claire hadn't realized it was Steve yet & he didn't want her to. Suddenly there was a roar, a tyrant.
"You idiots...you went into Epsilon didn't you? You let the Tyrant out? The T-010 is programmed to kill you all." Steve said in an annoyed manner.
"Steve! No, it can't be...Why are you hurting Chris?" Claire said in disbelief.
"Claire...Look, you have to get out before the Tyrant finds you, it can be locked in here." Steve replied.
"So you're helping us now." Jill said sarcastically.
"I can't have you people dying, that would stop Wesker getting his revenge on you." Steve replied spitefully.
At that moment, Extirpate broke through the wall right next to where Claire was standing. She was knocked back but not hurt. The Extirpate turned its attention to Claire & started to walk towards her.
"Shit...Kennedy, catch. You know what to do with it right?" Steve said.
"Yeah." Leon replied quickly.
Steve then made his way towards the Tyrant in an attempt to save Claire.
"Stay back!" Claire screamed.
"Claire, head towards the stairs, follow Kennedy out of here." Steve said calmly before attacking the T-010. Steve saw Claire run towards Leon.
"This is suicide!" Leon shouted.
"Just get her out of here Kennedy!" Steve called back.
Leon started up the stairs, Claire & the S.T.A.R.S following. Steve turned his attention to Extirpate, determined to give them as much time to escape as he could. Steve fought valiantly, avoiding the huge blade that was formerly a woman's hand. Steve pounded the creature's head as hard as he could but the creature managed to knock him off balance. Steve lost his life when the blade pierced his chest, destroying what had once been his heart. He died instantly, his very last thoughts of Claire...I love you Claire, be safe...
