The time is now 4:17

Kastlyn Amara, John Pence, Trevor Mcwilliams, Angel Parker and Corey Finley

"What the hell are they screaming about?" Corey whispered to himself as he drove up towards a group of survivors. "Maybe they need help" John said leaning his head out the window, "Hey are you guys ok?" "GET OUT OF THE FUCKING CAR" one of them screamed. "What?" BANG!.............. "Whats on the roof?" Trevor said slowly. "Why don't you stick your head out and look?" Corey said. Everyone glared at him. The sound of metal bending could be heard. "On the count of three, everyone get out of the car." Kastlyn said. "One........ Two......." CRUNCH. Two talon like feet ripped right in to the cars ceiling. "Jesus Christ get this thing the fuck off of here!" Trevor said reaching for his gun. SLAM, the monsters head ripped strait through the ceiling, while its tentacles broke through the windows. Now face to face with the monster Trevor fired his gun strait in it's face. "God Damnit it's holding the fucking doors shut with it's wings!" John took out his own gun and fired it at the tentacles, while trying to push his door open. "Kastlyn your doors aren't blocked try to open it!" John said looking over at her. "Jesus Christ somebody fucking help meeeeeeee!" Trevor screamed, now out of ammo and hitting the monster with his gun. Gunfire could be heard outside the car. "You guys better grab on to something!" Someone screamed from outside. FWOOSH a grenade hit the monster right in its belly shaking the whole car. The monster instantly tried to pull itself back out of the car, (it's legs were completely detached) throwing itself in to an intolerable scream of immense pain ARAAAHGGGGGGAAAAAGHHHH. With its wings now out of the way, someone from the outside threw open the door. "GET OUT NOW." Everyone ran out as a whole set of grenades collided with the monster and the car.

Kastlyn Amara, John Pence, Trevor Mcwilliams, Angel Parker and Corey Finley

Jon Noto, Sirius Foley, Jesse West, Tony Slaughter, James Richardson, RJ McReady, Logan Temberlend, and Amy Tan

Everyone stood together staring at the wreckage of frying monster and car parts on the ground. "Are you guys ok?" Sirius asked. "A little scared, but none of us are hurt, any of you guys know what the fuck that thing was?" "No, this one is new to us, most of the other creatures we've found today were in Raccoon city and." "Hold on, you guys were in Raccoon city?" John said with a raised eyebrow. Tony continued for Sirius "Yeah, we came here to help the people of New York, to escape, only thing is one of our friends here is hurt" Tony said pointing to Amy, "and we need to get her help, but after that.." This lead to a huge uproar "We've got friends that might need are help," "I need to find my mom" "A friend of mine could be in trouble" Tony looked around at all those with him. "Maybe we should take separate paths... oh well how about this, Jon, Sirius, Jesse, James, Amy and me can go find the entrance to Umbrellas lab, while the rest of you.. "I know where the lab is!" Angel said,

"Grand central, there's a secret passage, that's where those guys were taking me." "What guys" James asked. "It's a long story, but listen to get in you need a key, and the one captor of mine that's still left has it. "Tony and his men smiled, they finally had their big break. Kastlyn smiled "I can go find my friend, while you guys look for the key, and when I'm done, I'll meet you at Grand central." Tony smiled "good, now how about the rest of you guys" "Sorry buddy but we don't plan on meeting up with you" Trevor said, "Me and Corey appreciate the help and all, but once were done, with the original mission we came here for, we plan to leave." Tonys smile faded, "how about you three?" "A town full of the living dead and these mother fuckers?" RJ said pointing to the dead monster "I like a gun fight, but I'm not taking any chances, I'll go with you." "Same here" Logan said. Tony's smile returned, "and you?" Tony said looking at John. "Are you crazy?" John yelled. "I'm getting out of here, there's no way we can waste all this time when the exit is so close to us!" Jesse walked up to him and smiled. "Your on our own then buddy" and with that everyone took off in their separate directions, leaving John alone. "awwww Kastlyn wait up!" John said running towards her. "I appreciate the company and all John, but why me?" You know safety is in numbers." "Yeah" John said, "so is food"

The time is now 4:30 (Tonys teams story)

Jon Noto, Sirius Foley, Jesse West, Tony Slaughter, James Richardson, RJ McReady, Logan Temberlend, Amy Tan, and Angel Parker

Before they took off Tony called out to Trevor. "If you change your mind buddy, meet us at grand central at 5:30!" Without saying a word, Trevor waved at him and ran off. "Ok, now Angel, do you think that the man would go to grand central, to get to the lab?" James asked. "Yes, he'd have no where else to go alone." "Ok then guys follow me, I'll take us there." Along the way, everyone was surprised at the lack of zombies, and the abundance of dead bodies which was presumably do to the new flying monsters. When they had finally reached grand central, each of them split up and searched separately. "He was on foot, and far away, so he probably hasn't been here yet" "That's good to know" Jesse said, eyeing up a particular monument. "Hey come here" Jesse called out to Jack, "Ya think the secret passage is in one of these monuments here?" "I don't know, some of these have been around for a long time, before Umbrella corporation was founded." "ahhh your probably right" Jesse said.

But the second Tony said that a noise could be heard. The tapping of feet, and the sloshing of water. Slowly Jesse turned around, and 10 feet away from him walking out of the monument with it's feet covered in blood was the same monster from the grocery store. "Ohhhhhh shit" Jesse whispered. "You guys, I think we've got a little problem." FWOOSH! The monster took of in to the air. "Where the fuck did it go?" James said. Looking everywhere. On que with what James said the monster soared back towards the ground and slammed right in to James, ripping straight through his chest. "JAMES!" Tony screamed running towards him. "NO Tony leave him, we need to get out of here!" Jon yelled grabbing on to him. "It's all my fucking fault I have to help him" Tony screamed pushing Jon off of him. "Ahh Sirius Jessie give me a hand here!" Jon yelled running after Tony. While Tony and his team were attacking the monster Jack snuck in to the monument, for cover. When he entered, he stepped in to a pile of warm blood, indicating it was fresh. Slowly Jack walked in to the next room, to see a man ripped in half, holding a key, and just next of him was a tile, with a key hole in it. "Bingo." Outside the fighting continued. Tony ran up to the monster and fired at point blank range, choosing not to accept the fact that it was hopeless to save James. As a last ditch attempt to save him, Sirius and James grabbed on to Tony, and dragged him off. Now, holding a grenade, Jon ran up to the monster tossed it at his feet and ran off, just before the explosion. "Nooooo" Tony screamed, "I could have helped him you basterds" Jesse punched Tony right in the face, "You need to learn when to quit Tony, James was dead from the beginning."

Tony didn't say anything. "Are you guys ok?" R.J. said as he, Angel, and Amy walked up to him. "One of our team members is dead" Sirius said. "Tony tried to help him, but it was to late." "Oh my God" Amy said "I'm so sorry." "It's ok kid" Jack said as he walked towards them. "I've got some good news" "What" Tony said. Jack opened his hand, revealing a large key. "I even know where to use it to" Jack said motioning towards the monument that the monster had come out of. Tony climbed to his feet and looked at his watch. 5:15. "Should we wait here for the others, or should we go in?" Tony asked. "Amy, how do you feel?" Jon said. "Do you think you could wait 15 minutes?" "Yes", Amy responded, "I feel fine, I might not even be infected." "All right" Tony said, "We wait 15 minutes, if no one shows up, we move on."

The time is now 4:30 (Trevor and Corys story)

Trevor McWilliams, Cory Finley

Before they took off Tony called out to Trevor. "If you change your mind buddy, meet us at grand central at 5:30!" Without saying a word, Trevor waved at him and ran off. "Do you plan on changing your mind?" Cory asked. "Nope, chances are after we find the survivors, were gonna get the hell out of here." Trevor said. "I just wish we still had that car." Only about a quarter mile from here anyways" Corry said, looking on the bright side of things. "Corry.. Do you think we'll find anyone there?" "We'll... It's hard to say really, I don't know what we'll find, there's even the possibility that no one will have made it there at all in the first place." "Don't say that" Trevor said. "They might not be alive, but someone had to have made it there." "We'll Trevor what if they did make it there? And what If when they did they proceeded with the mission, would the coastguards just stand around and let them fight? I know it's not a good thing to think about Trevor, but if you want to think of the most likely possibility, it's that everyone is dead." Trevor sighed "Can't you be a little more positive?" "Positive would be lying, do you want me to lie to you Trevor?" "NO, it's just that... well.. I don't know all right!" Corry pointed ahead "My theory proven"

Trevor gasped, the entire building was busted up, with dead bodies everywhere, shattered windows, and abandoned cars and bikes sitting in the entrance. "Jesus Christ, just about everyone made it, how the hell could they all die like that? They were armed to the tooth!" "We have to go inside, someone might still be alive!" Trevor said running up the steps. Corry hesitated, then followed. As soon as they entered, they were greeted with a familiar face. "Harkens your alive!" Sitting before them, was their abandoned comrade, covered in bite wounds, and lying in the corner, gun in hand, and he didn't look to happy. "You. you left me. why did you fucking leave me?" Harkens began to stand up. "I thought we were partners.. I thought our slogan was no man left behind" Trevor spoke up "Harkens, that's a fucking school program, sta. stay down man, your covered in blood" "WHAT, are you afraid I'm gonna turn in to a zombie, ohhh but you'd like that wouldn't you? Get rid of old Harkens, so this way you won't have to carry me around." Blood dripped from his mouth and he fell on the floor again, Corry rushed forward to help him, but Trevor held him back. "So what happened to Pennet did you leave him behind too?" "One of the." "Hey Trevor, you wanna know who that is?" Harkens said interrupting him, pointing to a dead body on the floor. "It's that guy that FUCKED your sister!" "Aren't you glad that he's dead?" "I killed him for ya to! He and the other two guys that were still alive when I got here!" He laughed "Yeah, he was the only coastguard though, and they didn't wanna let me in, said I was "Infected," but I broke in through the back window, and I fucking killed them!" he laughed "Harkens you don't know what your talking about, that man moved to a different unit a few weeks after he raped my sister and got away with it."

Harkens face went pale, "Ahhhhhhhhhh" Trevor turned around and saw Corry collapse to the floor, headless, and a hungry looking hunter standing above him. "Jesus!" Trevor dodged out of it's way as it came lunging towards him, and instead of switching directions it went after Harkens. Trevor saw no way of saving him, as he ran towards the window and jumped out with Harkens screams trailing behind him. Trevor landed on the deck and took out his handgun, "I should have kept my fucking rifle!" Silently Trevor snuck down the steps, and picked up an abandoned motorcycle. Trevor looked around him, he had no one left, and his mission was failed, he had nothing left to do but escape, and he wouldn't be doing it alone. "Grand central here I come!"

The time is now 4:30 (Kastlyn and Johns story)

Kastlyn Amara and John Pence

"So just who exactly is it that were looking for again?" John asked. "My friend Damon, I got a call from him a few hours ago, he had something to tell me, and if he's still alive, I'd rather not leave him behind." "Yeah, I guess that's the last thing you'd want to have on your mind if you left this place, a friend who was still here and needed your help" John said. "5 minutes ago you were ready to leave here when a little girl needed help, and now all of a sudden you've changed your mind?" John ignored her, "that building up there right?" Kastlyn dropped the subject. "Yeah, he should be on the first floor." The apartment building was a wreck, everything was turned over or broken. Kastlyn slowly opened up Damons door, expecting the worst, and it was well justified. Lying on his bed with the tv on was Damon, he had killed himself. "I'm.." John started but Kastlyn interrupted him. "Don't worry, I didn't know him that well anyway" Kastlyn said walked in to the kitchen, "Maybe he left a note for me somewhere." John sighed and stared at the tv, it was the same thing on every channel, them. "Old news to me" John said as he stared at the small sub text covering other "smaller" news events. Nothing really caught his interest, power outages, car accidents, stock reports, and something about a recently built facility in the rain forest that was taking away the animals water supply. John walked out the door, and saw a hunter, charging straight at him. "SHIT, run Kastlyn hurry, get out of here!" John said running out on to the fire escape. Kastlyn peeked out and saw Damons door bust open. "Oh my God!" Kastlyn quickly crawled in to the pantry, and shut the door, hoping that it wouldn't find her. John stood still, he was hoping that he could get the ladder to open up, but he couldn't make any noise, the only thing separating him from the monster was a thin drape, nothing the monster couldn't get through.

Slowly John lifted his gun, "that's it, stand still you little basterd" "CLICK" out of ammo. The monster leaped through the drapes and on top of John. "Arghh, ahh get of me!" Kastlyn ran out of the pantry and and fired six rounds in to the monsters abdomen, no willing to bare this, the monster charged after her, leaving John on the ground lifeless. Kastlyn charged out of the room and ran up stairs, grabbing every door in hopes of finding cover. "Shit, didn't anyone forget to lock up?" Kastlyn gave up and ran for the elevator, the monster quickly closing in on her. "Come on, open, open!" Kastlyn threw herself inside and hit the 4th floor button with her shoe, the monster just 4 feet from the door. Kastlyn breathed a sigh of relief. "Hang in there John" she said. The door opened and Kastlyn silently stepped out.

Two zombies instantly ran towards her. "Shit! She Shot off two shots in to one of them, as the other one knocked her down. "Ahhhh get off of me!" Kastlyns gun had been knocked out of her hand. Using one hand she held it's face away from hers, and reached for her gun with the other. The other zombie was beginning to get up. "Jesus help me" Kastlyn looked up, standing at the other end of the hallway was the hunter from downstairs. Kastlyn pushed the zombie off of her, and grabbed her gun. BAM BAM BAM! The hunter fell over dead. Kastlyn sprang to her feet and ran downstairs. "God John please be all right" She stepped in to Damons bedroom. John was still lying on the floor, he was dead. "No" Kastlyn sank to her feet, she could only blame herself. "I'm sorry John" Kastlyn was about to leave when she noticed Damons hand, he was holding something. Kastlyn picked it up and read it, and what she saw made her eyes open with fear. "I have to get to Grand Central!"

The time is now 3:20 (Vincents story)

Vincent Hunter

After waiting a few minutes, Vincent pushed his attacker away from the door, and stepped outside. Lying dead were several humans, and several monsters, with one half dead licker left, feasting on his reward. "Let me make your fighting useless for you" Vincent said as he shot the monster right in it's face. Vincent walked over to one of his companions and picked up an assault rifle, in case if he encountered any more creatures on the way to his office. "He looked back to the safe room, where everyone was now hiding, "good luck getting out, or help for that matter." As Vincent rounded the corner he noticed that queens tentacles were lying dead on the floor, indicating that soon she would begin giving birth. "I'd best take all my files with me, Umbrella would pay a lot for those." Click, click, click, footsteps could be heard coming down the hall way. With his rifle in his good hand, Vincent slowly rounded the corner, FWAP a tentacle slapped him right in the face. "How the hell did you get out!" 6 of the X progects were being held at the facility, and they were presumed the only creatures that were not released. Without thinking Vincent got up and ran around the monster, towards the holding cell for the x.

"I've go to get that door closed before more of them get out!" As Vincent expected the door leading to the Progect X cages was left open, quickly Vincent closed it, without knowing what he was doing. "Ok let me think, they escaped from their cages, and one got out from this door, that leaves the sealed door in my room, and I know they can't get through that, so whats left?" The answer came to Vincents head "The packaging room and the safe room." Vincent looked down the long hallway, "For your sake people, I hope you stay in that one room." Vincent continued back to his office, carefully sneaking past the X that had already gotten out. Vincent opened the door to his office and turned on his security cameras. He had a view of the entire lab, the X hallway, the saferoom, and his tunnel hallway. As Vincent had expected the Proto tyrants were still in their glass cages, but he had to double check. Vincent walked over to his desk and pushed it over, revealing a steel compartment. Vincent opened it up and then took a grenade off his desk and climbed down his ladder. Once he reached the end of the hallway he turned around and tossed the grenade, and closed his steal door. The blast had released the proto tyrants from their cages, "Just to make sure that nothing follows me, I'll just have my little protos guard me." Vincent climbed up another ladder, this one forty feet high. At the top, Vincent opened a door, and began working on the serum, and thinking of a way out.

The time is now 3:20 (Amara Tans story)

Amara Tan
"Everyone please remain calm", one of the higher ups said, "we are in the process of contacting umbrella, and I'm sure that once we do, they'll send in a team, and we'll be out of here in a few hours." "A few hours?" That's about as long as it'll take for every monster in this facility to break the fucking door down!" Someone called out. "Nothing can get through these doors unless we let them!" The man reassured everyone "Oh and we certainly don't have to worry about that you coward" Amara called out, "You already had this door closing before everyone was in here, leaving everyone else out there to die!" "I didn't have a choice lady, if I had waited everyone in here would have been dead!" "OHHH you'd like us to think that that was the reason now wouldn't you?" "you weren't thinking about us for one second! All you could think about was yourself." "Shut up you dumb fucking BITCH", if you say ONE more word about this I swear to God I'll throw you out there with the rest of them." Amaras lip trembled "You sick basterd, I hope you die" The man advanced towards her. BOOM. Everyone looked at the safe room door. "somethings trying to get in." BOOM "It's gonna break through, we have to get out of here!" BOOM "We need to get out of here" "Whats wrong with you people, it can't get through here nothing can!" BOOM! A tentacle ripped through the door and everyone moved towards the back. "The side door, everyone quick through the side door NOW" Somebody screamed. Quickly the 12 people ran in to the packaging room and sealed the door shut. BOOM, BOOM... "I think it's leaving" "no we have to stay in here in case if it comes back!" "Quiet everyone!" Amara called out "Can anyone else hear that?" click, click, click.

"Turn on the lights" Amara whispered to the man next to her. The lights flickered on revealing 6 huge monstrous creatures. "How did the fucking X get out?" Someone screamed. Everyone ran, but there was no where to go, the monsters were attacking and grabbing everyone from left and right. Quietly, Amara snuck underneath one of the conveyor belt tables, and began crawling towards the package chute, while the monsters were busy dealing with those trying to escape, Amara opened the cage door and locked it shut. It was a tight fit, but Amara lifted open one of the chutes and slid down head first, and landed on a padded like surface in a room, filled with beakers, containing various viruses, that Amara did not want to think about. Amara dusted herself off and walked in to the transporting room, used for taking the various products to the part of the facility they were necessary in. Amara flipped on a light switch, and woke up one very unhappy licker.

The time is now 4:15 (Haralds team)

Harald Limerick, John Pheonix, Denver Jay

"HELLO, is anyone there? This is Harald Limerick of the U.B.S.T.A, I repeat is anyone there?" Harald yelled in to the dismantled radio. "We need immediate chopper pick up, more than half the team is dead!" "It's useless Harald lets just go!" Denver said tossing a new shirt to John" "Come on Harald, we can make it to the lab, we can take some extra equipment from the chopper just to be safe" "Easy for you to say you flying freak!" Harald yelled. "How the hell could Umbrella not tell us they were sending a project in with us?" "Harald leave him alone, for all we know, this can help us." "Then FUCK YOU TOO!" Harald yelled. "All right that's it" John said, "If you want to fuck around with the radio all day go ahead, I'm getting to the lab" Denver looked up at Harald, "He's right, lets just go, we can take the grenade launchers, that'll protect us from those things." Harald took one last look at the chopper radio and sighed. "Piece of shit" Harald grabbed three grenade launchers and tossed two of them to his team mates. "Keep your other weapons, we'll need something in case if some of the OTHER creatures come after us." He looked at Denver "You do the honors" he said and tossed Denver a pack of grenades. "Your making me your ammo bitch?" "What can I say?" Harald said. "Johns just a better shot than you." "Ok, are you guys ready?" John and Denver nodded. "Good then lets go, we have to get to get to Grand central."
