Chapter 36: Mutation #2

A moment later, the answer was upon them: the creature wasn't dead. Standing back up, it began to mutate violently. The muscle tissue expanded, ripping through the leather coat and boots, revealing more bone and gore underneath. Claws on it's hand grew short, making more of a fist instead, and it dropped the rocket launcher it had used in the previous stage of the battle. The creature was now as large as the troll-like creation Leon had fought so long ago, but much stronger, faster, and uglier. "Shit! What is it now?," Xan yelled. "I haven't got a clue, but we need to keep it away from Sherry, understand?," Leon replied. Xan nodded, equipping his handgun, as Leon reloaded the shotgun, only half the shells left. In reserve, Sherry had the handgun Leon gave her, and both Leon and Xan had Magnums. Not waiting for them to finish their preparations, the massive beast ran forward, ready to strike both of them, leaving Sherry alone for the moment. Destroying and crushing the remains of the container, it went on a rampage through the large room. Leon in front, and Xan behind, both fired as quickly as possible, with Leon jumping out of it's path right before it struck him with one massive fist. Running as he stood up, Leon joined Xan as far away from Sherry and the creature as possible. Realizing their strategy, it ran towards Sherry instead. "Fuck, this one is a lot smarter!" Sherry was calm now, and she fired one clip at it's skull, hitting both eyes, just as Leon had done with the troll-like creature much earlier. Blinded, the creature was even more furious than it had been before, and it could still smell and sense them nearby. Readying their guns, two handgun bullets and one shotgun blast went off at the same time, aimed mostly at it's chest and neck. Emptying what they had left in the guns, Leon ran out of Shotgun shells, and Xan finished off his handgun bullets, leaving Sherry with the only gun loaded. Firing everything she had at it's skull, she hit the mark all but twice, sending blood flying everywhere, but barely doing any physical damage. For a second time, the large creature fell to the ground, this time, moving almost immediately, as it's muscles stretched and mutated even further. "What's wrong with this thing? Why won't it just die?," Sherry shouted, surprising both Xan and Leon. "I don't have a clue, probably some kinda mutation involving all three viruses!," Xan replied. "That sounds about right to me," Leon added. With only handgun bullets for Sherry, and 30 Magnum rounds between Leon and Xan, they were prepared for whatever would come next in their battle to finish off Umbrella once and for all. Loading their guns, they were ready to aim when it stood up again to fight.

"Will it die before we run out of bullets?"
