"C'mon Steve!! Run!!"
Claire and Steve quickly reached the emergency door of the fourth floor, taking the stairs two by two. They opened it and ran to hide in a corner. Claire could hear the heavy footsteps of the Tyrant, but they started to fade away from them. It wasn't coming after them anymore.
"Phew…what was that thing?" asked Steve.
"A Tyrant…bad news. But it seems to go somewhere else…"
"Bam! Bam! Taratatataaa!!!"
Steve looked anxiously at Claire, a little smile spreading on his lips. "Looks like there's a party not far from us."
"It's maybe my brother. Let's go!"
The two young people headed carefully where they heard the gunshots. As she arrived at an other corner, Claire suddenly stopped and quickly leaned her back against the wall, a shocking look in her blue eyes.
"What is it?" asked Steve, worried.
"Five Tyrants…dead ahead! I saw some people between them. I think it's my brother and the others…" she whispered.
"We have to find a way to save them!" replied Steve.
Claire looked around her, and her eyes went wide as she saw an extinguisher on the wall in front of her. Steve followed her gaze and understood what was on her mind. He ran to it and punched the glass. He took the extinguisher and threw it to Claire.
"Here's the plan. I blind those big bastards, and you help and bring the others away from them," said Claire.
Steve nodded. "Okay. Be careful!"

"Aim for the head!!" yelled Jill, over the sounds of the fire weapons.
Leon killed one of the Tyrants by blowing off its head with his shotgun. He has been proud of himself for a second, but another Tyrant appeared. Leon shot at its face, but it wasn't effective this time.
"We can't do anything against them!! We have to find a way to escape from them!!" shouted Chris.
Rebecca looked around her, desperately trying to find a way out, but she had found none. The Tyrants were surrounding them. "This is the end," she thought. "We're all going to die." Suddenly, the young girl saw a big white cloud creating around her. She then felt an arm wrapping her waist and pulling her out of the cloud. She turned her head to see who was saving her, and saw that it was Claire's friend.
"Run at the end of the corridor!" yelled Steve.
Rebecca saw Jill beside her, and both started to run. The guys and Claire were right behind them. As they reached the corner, they entered a lab and locked the door. Barry and Leon looked over the place, expecting to see some monsters. Fortunately, the lab was empty.
Chris saw his sister and came near her.
"Claire! Where were you? I was so worried!"
"I'm sorry Chris, but I fell in a trap or something like that. Don't worry, I'm fine. And Steve was all the way with me, anyway."
Chris looked at the young man beside Claire.
"Hum…Steve…I think I have to apologize you. You're not a bad guy at all, and you just saved all of us. I thought you left, but it's not a bad thing to have you with us."
Steve nodded, seeming relieved. "Thanks. I swear I won't let anyone die. And you can be sure that I'll protect your sister anytime."
Chris smiled and looked at his sister, who was lightly blushing.
"By the way, I have to warn you Chris, that Wesker will try to kill you and your partners," continued Steve.
"I know, we saw him. This time, I'll get him!"
"But Chris…you said he's now inhuman. We're no match for him! We'll have to find a way to kill him," said Jill.
"Jilly's right. If we can find a rocket launcher or something…" added Barry.
Chris sat on a chair, sighing heavily. Leon then decided to take a look around the small lab, while Barry was checking at the back of it. Leon then noticed some files on a desk.
"Hey, come look at this."
All the gang went in front of the desk. "What is it?" asked Claire. Leon picked up a map and put it on the table. "It's a map of the entire facility," he said, "And if we look closer, we can see that the main controls are situated on the B5, and there's a heliport on the building's roof.
"Hmm…this starts to look like a plan…" said Barry, scratching his beard.
"This map is useful. Thanks to you, Leon," added Chris.
Leon felt a bit relieved at Chris's comment. He then turned his gaze toward Steve, who was chatting with Claire. "But still…I can't trust this guy…there's something wrong…or even evil within him," he thought. Leon suddenly saw Steve's eyes turning into a deep red colour for a split of second. The cop shook his eyes, thinking that he imagined all of this. Then, Claire came closer to him, and snapped her fingers in front of his face.
"Something's wrong?" she asked.
"Huh? No…everything's fine."
Claire sighed and put a hand on his shoulder. She then turned back to join Chris and his partners' discussion.
"So…I say we split up again. One team is going down to put the self- destruct system and the other goes at the heliport. If there's no choppers, we'll take the stairs on the building side. It'll be alot safer. Is it okay?" said Chris.
All nodded. Chris then continued. "Okay…Jill, Barry and Becky, you're coming down with me. Claire, you go with Steve and Claire on the roof. By the way, Steve, Claire told me that you have some experience about planes. So, you'll be the one who'll warm up the chopper…if there's one, of course." Steve nodded. "Okay…let's move out!" added Chris.
Jill quickly put her hand on his arm. "Wait Chris…those Tyrants must be around…we have to be more equipped."
"Hehe…I think I found something!" said Barry, enthusiasm in his voice.
The old S.T.A.R.S. member had some heavy bags in his arms. He put them on a table, the bags making some metallic noises. The others were looking at the bags, hope in their eyes. Barry then unzipped them, showing an amount of heavy guns, clips and other ammos. Chris grinned at his friend. "Where did you get those?"
"Oh…they were in some lockers at the back of the lab," said Barry, grinning innocently to Chris.
For Claire, it was like a candies store. She was even more happy when she saw her favourite weapon of all times: the grenade launcher. And there were around 20 rounds of each kind: fire, gas, acid and freeze. There were also some vests like commandos wear, with multiple pockets. She put one on herself, since she was the only one who didn't have one. She carefully put the rounds in the pockets and put the heavy weapon in her back, with easy reach. She then pick up some other clips for her handgun.
Steve had his machine guns and his integral blades, but he decided to take with him a strange gun. He remembered that he once read about it in a magazine, when he was at the HCF base. It's called a cerebral bore. Very deadly. You have to aim first the head of your enemy, and when you press the trigger, a kind of machine as big as a tennis ball, comes out of the weapon and goes directly toward the enemy's head. If he moves, the ball will follow him until it reaches him and put a big dart inside the head, swallowing the brain, and then, KABOUM!! The ball exploded with the head of your enemy. "Very deadly, indeed," whispered Steve, smiling.
Leon found in a bag an advanced double-shot magnum. Since he got the use of this kind of gun, he decided to take it with him. It wasn't as good looking as a big automatic gun or a rocket launcher, but it was really effective and this could blow off some heads.
Jill took an RC-940, a kind of assault rifle, but more powerful and faster. This was going kick some ass! Chris decided to take a rocket launcher, with 4 rockers already loaded. Barry had his magnum, but took a few grenades. And Rebecca wasn't the kind of taking heavy weapons, so she kept her Berretta and took a shotgun. In the same time, she found some medical herbs and first aid sprays.
After taking some breaths, they opened the door, and both team headed were they were assigned to go.
