Chapter 1 -
Unleashing the terror
Axle Irons sat in the chopper and was on the way to Umbrellas African Lab to cleanup a recent outbreak of the T-virus. Axle had been made captain of the V.C.C.C (Viral Contamination Control Crew) five years ago after he had been the only survivor of a team of elite Samurai sent to clear up an outbreak in the small village of Hollowed ground. He carried a sword on his back and at his side was a magnum given to him by his best friend before he was killed by a Tyrant. Sitting next to him was Ste Mar, a Ninja who was second in command of the team. He joined the team when it was first formed along with most of the others. He had a sword and a Berretta as well as a couple of daggers. He was an expert in stealth and often was the man who scouted the area for enemies. Next to him was Lilly Kane who was rescued during their first mission three months after the team wads formed. She had been experimented on by a rival of Umbrella and found she had the ability to control hunters and she never went anywhere without her best friend, a hunter she had named Biped. She also had an assault shotgun in case she got separated from Biped. Sitting on the opposite side of them were three ex Marines. Lee Gown, Rob McCoy an Lt Jason Rodgers. Each was armed with Ak47's and Jason also had a survival Knife at his side. In the pilots seat sat Bob Stanton the team's pilot and master of any type of vehicle. He normally waited in the chopper armed with his berretta while the others went into do missions. Next to him sat one of Umbrellas top scientists Sarah Parry. She was an expert in the viruses and the creatures it spawned. The final two members of the team stood at the back of the chopper. One of them was Simon 6452 or Six for short. He was the other member of the team that had been rescued. He had been found by the team only a year ago. He was tall and bulky and kind of looked like a dreadnaught from war hammer 40k. The final member of the team was Ben Barnes who was assistant to William Birkin. After his boss had infected himself with the G-virus and become a terrifying monster Ben had decided to become like him but wanted to keep his humanity. It was then that he read about Albert Wesker. Ben had experimented and finally found what he thought was the T2-Virus that Wesker had but miscalculated the amount of the virus that needed to be added and horribly mutated. But unlike William Birkin he kept his humanity.
"Ok listen up", Axle called out, "It's a standard elimination mission so we take out everything dead".. "What were they researching", Ben asked. "They were trying to create a new form of the nemesis", Sarah called out from the front," Its called the Reaper project because of that the Tyrant looks like" "And what does it look like", six asked. Six had an artificial life chip installed so he could learn and think just like a normal human. "It looks like nemesis but it wears a black robe and hood", Sarah ansered," It also carries a scythe" "so basically were dealing with the grim reaper", Lilly sighed "That's why we called it the Reaper project", Sarah laughed.
An hour later the team had arrived at the labs helipad, which was situated about half a mile from the lab itself. As they disembarked Bob switched on the lights so they could see what they were doing. "Team A goes through the front door and team B go through the back", Axle called out," But first lets get a mission briefing" "The building is a two storey warehouse with about five rooms per floor. There is an elevator which leads to the Lab itself but you need a keycard but we don't know where that is", Sarah told them", So team A will search the ground floor and Team B will search upstairs".
Team A gathered around the front door. Axle had a key in his hand that would unlock it. "Lilly go first with Biped in first", he ordered," Me, Six and Jason will go in afterwards" "Will do sir", Lilly replied before kneeling down beside Biped," Lets go boy".
Biped growled and ran through the door closely followed by Lilly who cradled her shotgun in her hands. "Its all clear", She cried as the others crept slowly through. They were in a small two story room that was bare except for a few crates and an elevator in the corner. "Hey Jason secure this area while the rest of us search this floor", Axle ordered
Ste lead his team through the small wooden door and found themselves in a long thin corridor with a door at 1 end and a set of stairs at the other. They slowly climbed the steps and arrived in a large room with three doors leading of it. "Ben, Lee go through the large door over there and Rob take Sarah and go through the wooden door on the west wall", Ste instructed," I will go and check out that small metal door near the stairs".
Ste carefully opened the door and stepped inside. The room was in complete darkness except for the light coming from the open door. Ste heard a soft moan coming from inside. He backed up very slowly and lured the thing towards the light. It slowly shuffled towards him and raised its arms forward. As it got close it lurched forward and tried to bite Ste. In retaliation Ste grabbed one of his daggers and stuck it in the things eye. Ste backed up and drew his Berretta. He fired five shots and the zombie fell down. Realising the thing could get up any minute Ste fired 1 shot into its head killing it. "Ste", Lee's voice crackled over the radio," you ok I heard shots" "I'm fine", Ste answered back," And I found our Keycard radio Axle and tell him to meet us in the elevator hall".
Axle swiped the keycard on the elevators card reader and all the controls lit up. Axle pressed the button marked "lab" and the elevator descended. The members of the team who had volunteered to go got off with their weapons drawn. Axle, Six, Ben, Lee and Rob walked slowly down the corridor dispatching zombies as they went. "Hey Sarah", Axle spoke through radio," How many people were working here". "About ten", was the reply.
"That mean there's two left plus a Tyrant and whatever else they were working on", Ben sighed.
At the end of the corridor was a small door locked with a pass code. "Ok Six you know what to do", Axle said Six stepped forward and a cord shot out of its chest plate and attached to the security box. Random numbers appeared on the screen and eventually the door opened to reveal a large cage surrounded by monitors. Two zombies shuffled towards them and were quickly killed by a hail of bullets. The team crowded around the Tyrant. It was exactly as Sarah described "Care to do the honours", Axle asked Six. "YES SIR", Came the reply. Six's left hand flipped down and fired an acid grenade directly at the beasts head. The Tyrant stared at the team and roared loudly before placing both hands on the bars and ripped them off. It then stumbled towards the team. "Shoot it", Axle cried drawing his magnum and pointing it at the Reaper. It raised his scythe and advanced on Lee. It managed to get right up next to him before Ben intervened. Ben punched it in the chest and sent it flying towards one of the monitors. The lights went off and the sounds of slashing and screaming filled the room. Six activated the lights on his head and made his way over to the monitor and turned the lights back on.
Axle looked around in horror at the scene around him. Lee and Rob lay on the floor in puddles of blood. The door lay ripped open and Reaper was missing. "Ste come in", Axle cried through the radio," Hurry and hide now the tyrants coming". "We know", Ste said, " it just ran past us" "Lee and Rob are dead", Axle told them quietly," I think we should leave now".
Sarah stepped out of the chopper and walked straight to the office Of General Shadow to tell him what happened.
"So you let the Reaper escape", Shadow shouted," You know what its going to do don't you" "No Sir", Sarah replied quietly. "That think is going to track down everyone of its targets", Shadow told her," And that includes me, you and the rest of your team as well as the S.T.A.R.S members". "Why us", Sarah asked horrified. "The truth is this thing was created by one of our rival companies and we needed to eliminate it".
