Disclaimer: Please Capcom. Don't hurt meeee. It's just a storyyyyy. Hey! I made it rhyme. Pleeeaasee S.D. Perrryyyy. Make n'other Res Evil Novel. Can't wait til biohazard 4. I don't care if I hafta borrow someone's Gamecube. Damn it you're not gonna leave me out of the truth. Even IF I own a Ps2. I'll find out what happens.

A/N;( Breathes hard) (Drinks water) I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccck. Miss me? Man. This sucks. Only two more days and I'm back in classes writing english papers instead of these but I'll steal every second I can to finish this fic so don't worry. Updates'll still be daily. The only difference is that I have an excuse if I put out some horrible piece of shit because I was thinking about that 50 page paper grade. (and he still wants to write fics? Somebody get this man some coffee and aspirin. He's not gonna make it DOC!) That's what some of ya'll are thinking ( that is if you don't hafta do any of those types of papers yet. Oh well. I ain't gon' lie. College nice overall. Ain't a total bitch. So where we at? Umbrella's closing in on the cabin right? Oh well you can't blame Chris for not telling. Even if he said it early I still would've made the umbrella group show up on the same day anyways so...it's no one's fault but they're in sum deep shit. Where do I go from here. Oh well lemme try this and see if it works.

Chris creaked open the door slightly staring into the eyes of Kevin who was directly on the other side of the door. Beads of sweat coming down his face. He was breathing just as hard as Chris was listening to his signals he reached for the Smith and Wesson that he'd dropped on the floor luckily with the safety on. Maybe Trent realized that he was planning on threatening him but not killing him. As if that mattered at the moment. What really mattered was the fact that both of these people would be seriously slaughtered if they didn't do something soon, and drastic. Kevin loaded the pistol with a fresh full clip of slugs fixing on the tactical green light and looked up to face Chris who was diving for his own flash lit Glock. They both nodded to each other knowing what they were going to have to do in the next few seconds. There was no question to it, because if they stayed in one place, and tried to use the element of surprise in such a confined area, their effort would still mean very little, and everyone would be dead simple. Kevin signaled for Barry to get out the magnum. Chris motioned for everyone else in the cabin to lock ,and load, but to keep it silent. Him and Kevin crawled on the creaky wooden floor. Jill looked over at Chris and Kevin moving past her as they kept down below the windows where the soldiers shadows could be seen as they were peeking inside. She wanted to say something about being with Chris to the end but if she had already made a move then it would be okay to go, and he was trying preserve life in his effort. It was better that she didn't instantly run after, and screw everything up. She just hoped nothing else could go wrong.

It was another bad moment to consider the way movies worked, but Rebecca was thinking that everyone had just obtained fake movie luck as she felt the disaster shelter door right under where she had hit the floor. She motioned to Anna, Leon, and Jill. Barry was edging out of the doorway just a little bit, as he saw they were retreating he made a 'shush noise to advise them to keep it down. As the crew made it's way underground, Rebecca flailed her arms yelling for Barry to join them.

" I'll hold them off." He whispered " Just stay down there."

" Barry!" Rebecca whispered back sharply before Jill's hand came over her mouth and she was brought down as well.

Knowing the decision that he had just made sealed his fate he looked out the doorway, and turned back to hear muffled noise that made his heart jump. Oh. It was only Trent. He lived, but he had just scared the crap out of him. Barry slapped Trent, and whispered.

" Keep it down already. You'll ruin it for us!"

Coming out the back kitchen door they were quiet as they treaded through high grass watching the dark woods around them. He was right behind Chris until the brave cadet motioned for him to the take the front. Kevin pointed to himself as if to say " Me?"

He knew the answer to that though. If he went first, then it would make things a bit easier since he was enhanced, and much faster.

Feeling rather nervous as he came around the edge of the cabin he saw them moving in a pack over to one side of the house. Instead of converging on a circle. Someone was either horribly arrogant in organizing this group thinking that such a half-baked approach would suffice flawlessly, or there was more to it than what Kevin was seeing. But he supposed he'd figure it all out later. He then saw the leg dangling from the tree, as the leaves above made a rustle noise causing the soldiers' heads to turn to their left. This had him diving for cover by the wall again. Then he heard the voices in the wood on radios.

" I hear movement to my left."


" Check it out, but be careful."

As Kevin saw the solider was moving closer he chambered a round carefully then backed up wanting the soldier to come all the way around the side of the house so that he wouldn't be heard as well. He had to be ready for the moment. Was he? He wasn't. No he was...he didn't know. He was going to get it horribly, and the inevitable was just waiting for him. He had no time to be unsure, because the footsteps were becoming louder ,and young or not, he was the strongest one of the bunch. He had to just move and hope he didn't bite the bullets too bad.

The umbrella solider came quietly around the corner and spotted nothing there as he looked. He was so sure he heard a noise on the other side of the wall, and continued forward to investigate when he felt something pierce through his helmet.

It was the last feeling he ever had.

The bullet made a direct impact on the side of the soldier's head. The gunshot aroused the rest of the team. Kevin popped out from his hiding place behind the well and saw that the solider lay bleeding dead before him. He looked over at where Chris was hiding only seconds before, and noticed that the man had disappeared. He looked above and saw that where the leg was dangling from the tree there was also something like a long stick, and an object on top of it. The object's shadow was also coming out under the light of the moon. He recognized it soon after.

The sniper!

From his perch he had a very good aim through the window. Could've probably shot anyone in the house, and his flashlight was still scoping for targets on the ground. Kevin ducked as the light swept over near his position. As he hid, he thought

" I'll give him something to look at."

It only took a second. Still amazed as to how he did it. Chris had almost lost control of himself in the moment watching his partner move like flash and point his gun up at the tree quickly. Seconds later after the loud 'bam' there came a grunt, and a shadowed figure dropped a huge rifle while falling to the ground. He heard the umbrella team.

" Alert! Were under attack!"

Well there was no better time.

He took cover by the tree and began to fire then dove back into his hiding spot. Not even realizing how efficient he had gotten in taking down another umbrella agent almost unconsciously. He heard the sounds of trampling grass come closer to him. Dangerously close, as he turned to point, he breathed out realizing that it was only Kevin.

" Last stand." Kevin whispered as Chris reloaded and on the count of three they fired.

Fire was exchanged for awhile as the two men strafed to the side in the woods. Peeling down one target after another while avoiding shots that were merely centimeters apart from contact. They hit the trees again. Not even knowing how many were out there, but that they were lucky to peel down the few that they did, and that they were probably going to have to waste some ammunition to get through the night.

Barry waited by the window as he could put up with it no longer. He hated being left out of the grind while people he knew were out risking their lives. He might as well go out and do the same thing because it was killing him to just sit there all night, but part of him still had to admit. That an action seeker couldn't be too happy with getting an opportunity like this. An opportunity where there was a big chance he could die. Exactly the thing that he did not want to do so he had to just wait it out.

But as he felt the shadow looming over him. He felt inclined to just do it.

Pull the trigger.

The loud shot ruptured the glass into bits as a head flew back letting out mush, brain, and gore. As the light hit the glass goggles of the helmet they broke, and bullet penetrated through the eye.

Just then all of the forces that had been hidden in the woods had finally emerged. There were so many of them still there, and they were al closing in on the window of the room where Barry was. Kevin wanted to jump in and help, but Chris pulled him back. Obviously noticing the amount of men that had showed up. Still Barry was going to.

Chris shook his head.

The Umbrella soldiers raised their guns to the walls all around the window area. Back behind the wood line where more umbrella agents were walking. Kevin was reloading again.

The sound of the helicopter so far away disturbed not a single one of the men until they heard the sound from above coming closer. They had already begun to open fire on the wall of the cabin. Barry screamed. Hoping that his voice would cut off the focus of the pain that he was about to endure hearing the loud gun bursts tear up the wood. He made just one effort, and this was what he was going to get.

The helicopter sound came closer. He felt his body weaken so much that he didn't pick up the copter noise.

The machine gun was aimed at several figures surrounding a cabin in the woods below. As the choppers rotors created heavy noise the gunner took quick aim at what he saw below him. Not stopping to question what sort of people he would be hitting, and opened fire.

Men were tore up as the bullets rocked through tree, green land, and body. Sweeping them all off the ground as the on pour continued. Kevin watched the soldiers who had been shooting so eagerly at the cabin once before were either running for cover or getting eaten by the fury of the chopper's guns. He signaled to Chris, who also noticed the umbrella soldiers coming their way. They loaded up, and aimed for the pack of oncoming agents then took fire planting shots through armor as fast as they possibly could. Both sides traded fire until Chris was grazed by a quick one that sent him to the floor leaving Kevin to handle the masses by himself. He aimed for one head and popped it down, turning to face another one approaching.

He had not a single clue what was going on back at the cabin, but he knew that the solider had gotten somebody in there. It had him burning mad, but he was just relieved to know that there was finally another angel on his side.

Geez I'm tired, I'll still continue later. but dizzamn I'm tired. Gotta turn in for now. Thanks for reading. Keep it up. R&R.
