Chapter 16
As soon as Leon was out of sight, Chris removed his shotgun from his back holster, he was determined to keep the tyrant busy until Leon returned with the Laser Cannon. Extirpate turned in his direction & began walking towards him, with the same lazy pace as before Chris opened fire, the customised shotgun clearly damaging the creature but not nearly enough to stop it, the tyrant didn't even slowdown when hit by the rounds, which seemed to rebound off the creature, though they caused small cuts or bruises, no rounds penetrated it's armoured exterior. Damn this thing, why couldn't it have just died in Pickerel? Bloody Umbrella just can't make things easy, can it? Well, we won't be defeated & this time, we have the proof we need. Umbrella is going down. As Chris fired his last round, Barry fired at the creature from another direction, turning it's attention away from Chris, giving him a chance to reload his weapon. This tactic continued a while longer, until Extirpate decided to ignore Barry's shots & continue after Chris, who cursed & commando rolled aside, just in time to avoid it's deadly claws. Chris ran away from the creature but Extirpate increased it's speed & easily kept up. Chris headed towards the desk & dived over it, hoping to by himself some time, the Extirpate however, had other plans & threw the plant at him, which in turn made Chris collide with the filing cabinets. Chris collapsed against the cabinets, too dazed even to realise that the Extirpate was standing over him. Chris felt himself being lifted into the air & he cleared his head enough to realise that if he failed to do something quickly, he would share Wesker's fate. He caught sight of Leon, gun in hand & heard a voice telling him to duck. Chris grabbed a piece of metal from the broken cabinets & stabbed it into the hand on the tyrant. Extirpate roared in pain & dropped him & seconds later, a bright light surrounded it, when the light faded, there was nothing left of the tyrant. Chris stood up & brushed himself off.
"Nice timing Kennedy, guess I owe you." Chris said, trying to ease his obvious discomfort. Barry had also fallen pray to Wesker 's ploys through the incentive of loved ones, so Chris realised he couldn't blame Leon if he didn't blame Barry. "Got the proof still Claire?" Claire nodded & smiled her appreciation. "Great, then lets get out of here, the computer can handle the rest. Everyone nodded & they headed out of the base, after paying their final respects to Rick.
