Chapter VI
The Predator
Three shotgun blasts fired from Trina's Remington, releasing shrapnel into the decaying creatures that lurched forward. She took a step back and fired again; aiming upward at the zombified human's face, Trina fired a fifth and final shot into the monster, causing it to explode in a glorious array of gore. There were still four of them though, and two of them were wielding blood stained battle-axes, a horrific example of how deadly Umbrella could get. About to take another step back, Trina was suddenly shocked as the creatures in front of her, they began to-
-began to swing the axes ferociously towards her, crashing into the dirt tunnel and sending sparks flying.sparks.dirt doesn't make sparks.she thought instantly to herself, what the hell is this.there has to be metal underneath all of this muck.
As the creatures smashed the wall again, a glistening metallic glow was released into the tunnel, signaling that this cavern was only a cover up.what was hidden beneath these dirt walls was something much, much more sinister.
*
"Just ten feet away now, right around the corner, right about to crush you in your path." Délia hissed, watching the bulking Predators come slowly down the hall, their gigantic axes clenched tightly in their fists, "Just a moment now.a moment before Ada Wong is a past worry."
Turning to face Hillary, Délia let off a shrill laugh and then walked casually over to the chained girl, "Well, if this plan of mine goes accordingly, I won't need you anymore. As soon as Ms Wong dies, you are going to go along with her. Just pray that she lives a little longer, eh?"
"You bitch!" Hillary cried, struggling to be freed. She shot a quick glance over to the lifeless body of Bryant Long, frozen stiff in the liquidation chamber on the south wall. He was stationed so she could watch his development, watch his mutation, watch him grow.it would only be a short time before he was totally developed and ready for deployment. If Ada did make it as far as to her secret lab, then Bryant would definitely serve a wonderful purpose as to destroy her once and for all.
That is to say, that she will not live through the Predator attack, and there are still around eleven carriers stumbling around these hallways. Délia quickly reminded herself, she is not smart enough to outmaneuver all of your creations.
Turning without addressing Hillary's lude comment, Délia walked over to her comfortable leather chair and sat down, fixing her dress as she did. She was not getting tired one bit of watching her pets play with her enemies, and in fact in was more amusing than she had ever imagined. Ada had caused her so much pain, killed all of her siblings, destroyed two of her most precious labs., and lived without a scratch to show for it. It was time to pay the piper.and the piper was getting anxious.
*
Trina let one of the axe-wielding creatures come forth towards her, letting it lunge at her and fall to the ground. Raising one boot up in the air, she quickly smashed it onto the carrier's skull and decapitated it.
Now's my chance, I can take the axe and use it without having to waste any ammo!
Dropping to her knees, Trina hastily took the axe into her hands and swung at the nearest bloodthirsty demon, removing its head in a simple, clean swipe. Its mangled head rolled onto the floor and, as she expected, the other two dropped like flies and began to feast on it, yanking out the cerebrum and feeding off it.
Two more clean swipes and both monsters were dead, which meant that all five of the creatures were now at rest. She had shot one of them to death, decapitated one, and severed each of the others. She did not feel any sort of recognition for the feat, either. These people had once been working citizens; working people.they once had been normal.
They worked for Umbrella; they ruined your life.
Remembering about the life, she had before Umbrella was thrown into the picture made Trina shiver, and she instantly knew that it was time to toss the thought. She just gripped the axe firmer, starred harder at the mangled corpses of the undead creatures, and then readied her stance. She had seen that there was a wall beneath all this dirt.and she was going to find out what was behind it.
*
Délia smiled, knowing that it would only be a matter of minutes before Ada's end would be fulfilled.the Predators are right there, right there, and ready to smash her to bits! Just a few more seconds.yes, she has seen them.oh this is a wonderful, wonderful day.
*
Ada gasped, stepped back and clutched for her pistol almost immediately as she saw the creatures lurch into view. There were four of them.four bloodthirsty demons, each wielding massive battle axes almost one and a half times her size. The blades were huge, the size of her entire torso. Shane couldn't move, and she saw it in his eyes that he knew this would be his last battle with the undead.she felt it too, there were four of them.four of them!
They stood on tree trunk legs, like the Prowlers, but she could tell that these were much, much more dangerous. Standing almost ten feet tall, each of them had bulging, flexing muscles that twitched as the veins popped out and blood rushed through. Strapped around every limb was a massive knife, used obviously, as a backup incase the battle-axe was not good enough. Their faces were huge, housing beady black eyes and slits for a nose. They had no mouths, just skin, but right smack in the center of each of their fore heads was a horn, and then right down their backs were more horns, like spikes. Ada was reminded of rhino's as she starred wide eyed at the blood thirsty animals that lurched forward, dressed in black leather, chains around their hands and feet. She took another step back, but realized that the monsters had halved the distance between them.
Shit, shit, shit!
She let off three rounds into the nearest creature, but it was not even phased. Ada ducked as it swung its axe, smashing into the massive wall, sending dirt chunks flying everywhere. Shane unleashed his AK47, staying in one spot as the creatures continued to advance on him. Ada took off in the opposite direction, hoping to gain some ground, but she could feel the wind rush up behind her as-
-as a brute force like that of a truck slammed into her and she was sent sprawling, rolling through the mud and slamming hard against a rocky wall. She turned and saw the creature standing before her, holding the axe above his head as if to come down on her in one brutal swipe.
Tattatatattatattattat!
Sparks flew from the axe, bullets rained all over the creatures face, and she instantly knew what had happened.
"Shane!" She screamed, seeing him still aiming at the monster with his assault rifle. The bullets had ricocheted off the axe and penetrated the creature in its most vulnerable spot. A loud gurgling sound was heard, and Ada presumed the creature was trying to scream, but with no mouth it was rather difficult. It swung blindly, then fell onto its knees and dropped the axe. Grabbing its eyes in pain, the creature rolled over and began to twitch.it was dead.
*
Shane turned an unleashed an array of bullets in the same fashion as he had the last, blinding the monster and sending it sprawling to the ground. They had downed two of the monsters now, forcing them into a blind oblivion. He was feeling over rushed with self-esteem as the second creature died, that he hadn't taken time to notice-
-to notice the third creature raising the axe, coming down hard right against the dirt in which he stood. Ada smashed into him, throwing him to the side and missing the blade by a hair. He did not even have time to scream before she was shooting at the monsters face, the bullets skittering across its scalp and cheeks.
"Shoot the rifle damnit!" She hollered over her semi-automatic gunfire, hoping for him to hear her. He did, and he raised the gun and fired, launching fresh rounds into the monsters. The third one cried in pain as its eyes were blown away, crimson blood raining down from empty sockets. It keeled over and died, leaving the fourth monster vulnerable.
Shane raised the rifle again, but watched instead as the creature blindly swung its axe, smashing into the walls and forcing sparks to come flying out from every which direction. It was furious, furious that its brothers and sisters were dead, blinded, lying before him in pools of their own blood. The same gurgling sound as before was heard, and the creature took one final swing and smashed through the cave wall, shining bright light into the once dimly lit corridor.
*
Light!
"Shane! Make a run for it, shoot while you go!" she screamed, and they both took off in the same direction, towards the creature. Shane fired off his AK47 and paused the monster for a moment, and then both of them darted forth towards the gaping hole in the wall that the creature had created. The fell onto what felt like metal, but Ada didn't take time to notice, she just rolled to her feet and ran forward, hoping to find someone that could help her.
"Ada!"
She turned and saw a bright look on Shane's young face as the monster dropped. Watching him rush over to the lifeless monster's body, Ada took a step forward from her onward march and saw him pull off two of the four knives from the dead creature. He handed her one, and smiled.
"We had better take these, incase we run out of ammo." He said, giving her a quick wink, "Thought you would have figured that one out before I did." He walked in front of her, heading down the brightly lit hallway. Before following him, Ada walked towards where the hole in the wall was and examined the edges.
The dirt was about three inches thick, and the metal wall about four. There was no space in between the dirt and the wall, but she could see a thick, sticky substance between them, obviously used for holding them together. All of the pieces of the puzzle were coming together right before her eyes.
"Shane," she called, and watched the young boy turn, "Come check this out. It seems that Umbrella was building a lab in this cave, underneath the surface." She smiled at him, and then put her gun in her holster, "There may be more here than we thought after all."
Stepping to her feet, Ada quickly brushed herself off and examined her surroundings. They were in a brightly lit corridor, the Umbrella logo printed neatly on the center of each door. There were two doors, exactly opposite from each other on different ends of the corridor. In addition, direction planted on the wall in front of her, was a-
-security camera, she was starring blankly into a security camera. She instantly dropped, but was intently surprised as the camera followed her, watching her every move. It did not let off, watching her as she picked herself up and reexamined it.
"What's the matter?" Shane asked, but was unpleasantly surprised as Ada pulled out her pistol.
"Someone is playing with us," And with that, she flipped up her middle finger at the camera and shot out the lens, letting her observers know that she was not one to be messed with.
*
The camera went snowy, and Délia's heart sank. Ada had flicked her off and then shot out the camera, showing utter disrespect, "That little bitch will rot in hell, damnit!" She screamed, switching the camera back to the cavern filled with her four, precious Predators.lying dead, blinded and motionless, "She will pay for this! No one will escape!"
She nearly flipped her chair over as she headed over to her desk drawer, opening it up to reveal a pair of Sub Machine Guns and four fresh clips. She pocketed the clips and cocked the guns back. Before leaving the room on her quest, she looked at Bryant's lifeless body in the tank. Letting out a cold, desperate laugh she mocked him as his mutation had already started to progress.
"Ada Wong may have lived this far," she gasped, "But there is nothing that will stop me from ruining her plans of foiling my company name," heading for the staircase in the center of the room, Délia continued her angry holler, "This will not be the end! Délia Spencer will not be destroyed! No one will escape my wrath!"
*
Bryant could not feel anything anymore, could not feel anything but pain. All his senses were gone, his skin numb, his body weak, his eyes blind, his ears mute, his lips sealed.everything was done. All he had to do now was relax, relax and wait for his day of judgment to come. For now, he would rest.
