Resident Evil: Forever Doomed
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
"Hello, Jill." Wesker stared down at the young woman. "Who's the kid?"
"You can do anything you want to me, but don't hurt him?" She slowly helped the young man to his feet and they both stood up. Wesker gave a subtle smile.
"I'm so very sorry, Jill." Wesker raised a 9mm handgun and pointed it at the boy. "It doesn't work like--"
Just then the door slammed open from behind.
Wesker smiled slyly. "Chris Redfield, I presume."
"Put the gun down, Wesker!" said Chris from behind.
He turned to look at Chris, and as sly as possible replied, "What are you going to do about it?"
Chris raised a gun to Wesker and squeezed the trigger, and, aware to the situation, Wesker ducked at lightning fast speed, and, just as fast, gave Chris a hard kick to the stomach, propelling him back. He hit into one of the helicopters with an incredible impact.
Damn it! It didn't kill him.
Beep!
Wesker placed his hand on his earpiece. "Report." He paused to listen. "Fine, I'll be right there."
It's not over yet!
Angered at the moment, Wesker turned back to see Jill and the kid still looking at him, only now they both had the same look in their eyes-- fear. He smirked coolly, yet, with a hint of evil in his red catlike eyes, raised a gun and fired two-- three-- four shots into the youth's body which drove him backwards. Wesker looked back at a shocked Jill before he turned around and headed back for his 'copter, kicking Chris on the way.
----------------------
Jill helped Chris to sit up as best as he could, blood everywhere.
"Don't worry, Chris. Everything's going to be okay."
"W-- Wesker." he mumbled as best he could.
"He's gone, and for a moment I thought you were gone too."
Chris snickered, "Me? Gone? It'll be a cold day in Hell before I disappear."
Jill smiled and gave him a hug before helping him to his feet.
"Help!"
Lance?
The two jogged over to the elevator shaft. Jill, getting there first, looked down to see Lance hanging on to the railing with one bloody hand. "Oh my God!" Jill knelt down and stretched her hand as far as she could. "Come on, you're going to have to climb a bit."
He began his climb, slowly.
Boom!
Down below the elevator exploded, a burst of flames illuminating the shaft.
A large, hulking creature stood on the remnants of the elevator. It's arm was replaced by a massive claw, the other just the same. A strange, distorted face set into it's mutated neck; Jill recognized who it was completely-- Kenneth Starkly.
The monster drilled one of its claws into the side of the tunnel, and continued with the other arm; it had begun its ascension
"Lance, I'm going to need you to climb faster!" screamed Jill, still stretching her arm as far as it would let her. The creature began to climb at a faster pace, it was moments before it reached Lance, and yet minutes before he would reach her.
"Come on!" she rushed. "I'm not going to lose you!"
----------------------
As Jill's words replayed in his head, Lance began to climb faster; he was almost there. He steadied himself the best he could and stretched his arm, his hand finding it's mark.
"I got you." screamed Jill.
The two worked together and in a matter of moments Lance was free, but terribly wounded. Jill quickly helped him to his feet, and the two, Jill and Chris, carried him over to one of the helicopters.
"You're okay, now." said Chris calmly.
"We have to go." said Jill.
"We'll never make it." Chris and Jill both looked at Lance. "You figure the creature was right there near the top, we take off, it'll jump up, hold on, and it's weight alone could take down the helicopter."
"He's right." said Chris. "Let me take care of it." he reached in and pulled out a .45 Colt Magnum with some ammo and began to walk towards the elevator, pulling the hammer on his way.
