Chapter 9 Mission Accepted
Claire thought that it would be the end of her. She had no ammo left and Leon was still unconscious. She didn't know what to do and her mind was racing. The monster was still approaching slowly and it was only a matter of time before it killed her. Her heart was skipping beats and Claire prepared herself for what she saw was going to happen next. She closed her eyes in anticipation.
But then she heard gunshots being fired. Claire quickly opened her eyes and saw that both Steve and Chris were there firing at the thing. The thing forgot all about her and targeted the two firing at it. Claire saw that Rebecca was also there and was seeing to Leon. Claire saw her opportunity and headed quickly to where Leon and Rebecca were. But then she remembered what she and Leon had found out earlier.
"Chris!" Claire quickly said. Chris glanced slightly at her while still firing at the thing. "It has the power to regenerate." She quickly added. "What? Then where is its vulnerable spot?" Chris quickly replied. "I'm not sure. Target its head. Probably when it's smashed, it won't have the power to regenerate again." Claire replied. Chris glanced over at Steve and both just nodded. No exchange of words was necessary because they understood what needed to be done.
Soon, they had had killed the monster...or at least immobilized it. Leon was coming to. He slowly sat and shook his head. "What happened?" He said not yet fully conscious. "Take it easy, Leon." Rebecca said. Claire just signed in relief. "We better get out of here. I don't think it's killed yet and I don't want to stick around to find out." Claire then commented. "But we killed that thing. That thing won't be more dead than it is." Steve commented. Rebecca then stood and took a blood sample from it. "Claire's right. We better get out of here while we can. Who knows? We're not sure if that thing is really dead. We don't know what Umbrella is up to. Might as well be far from it if we are wrong." Chris replied. Claire and Chris then helped Leon up.
"I'll take this sample to the nearest hospital and I'll check it out." Rebecca then said as she approached them. "You do that. If it's possible, make an anti-virus." Chris said. Rebecca just nodded. She quickly dashed out and headed to the hospital. "You alright?" Claire then asked Leon. Leon just stretched a little and nodded. "We better separate and look for other clues as well as survivors." Chris then said. All just nodded in agreement. Steve and Chris then started to hand out ammo and guns and they separated. "Just radio if anything happens." Chris reminded then before they went their ways.
~ Jill ~
Jill eventually found herself in an office building. No one seemed to be there, which was very unusual since it was a Monday morning. She took out her gun and prepared for the worst. She entered and found herself in the big building reception hall. She found a lot of doors at the side and went over to check if they were open. After trying them all, she found out that they were all locked. She wondered if they were electronically locked. She went to the front desk and had confirmed that indeed it was electronically locked. She didn't know how to open it but she knew she had to find a way because vital information could be there.
The building was owned by Umbrella and therefore there was a big possibility that a lot of information was there. And probably it would explain why there weren't any people there during the first day of the week...or at least that would explain why there weren't corpses there.
Jill started to look around the lobby, not taking her gun from her hand. She scrutinized everything, careful not to put her guard down. She had found herself in that situation more than once. She had vowed to stop Umbrella so that it won't happen again but there she was again...in another situation that Umbrella had once again caused.
She then found the guard dead at the side. He seemed to be decapitated. Jill searched if he had any keys with him. Instead she found a card, which seemed to be his ID. She wondered if she could open the locked with it. She tired and was successful in releasing the locks of the doors. She then took the card with her and slowly made it to the first door.
When she got there, Jill was a little hesitant in opening the door. But after taking a deep breath, she finally did. She made her way inside and found the room to be empty. Only files and files were stored there. Jill then started to look over the files...to see if there was anything useful or would bring them any clue on what Umbrella was up to.
After some time sorting things out and checking the computer, Jill was able to find a detailed memo indicating a lot of things: what the virus name was, who created it, why it was created and the experiments made with it.
Jill then radioed, "Guys, it's Jill. Can you hear me? I found something really important. Over." "Go ahead, Jill. Over." Chris replied and the others also replied. "The virus that was carried by the truck that exploded hours ago is called the X virus. It is much deadlier than the other viruses because it says here that it attacks the x- chromosome of a person. Once it infiltrates the said chromosome, it dramatically changes the DNA double helix therefore could cause immediate mutation. It can only be transmitted if a person somehow ingests the infected person's blood. Once in the system, it cannot be reversed unless there is an anti-virus." "Jill, this is Rebecca. I have a sample here of the virus. I'm on my way to the lab. Does it say how to make an anti-virus or anything else like why it has the ability to regenerate? Over." "No. That's all there is about that. All that is left here is the experiments they've made in various labs across the globe. Over."
"It was probably transmitted by insects and rats and the rain might have something to do with it. Over." Chris said. "Could be. There's nothing more here. Over." "Got it." "Jill, this is Carlos. I'm going to another side of town. Rebecca may need some back up. Over." "I'm on my way. Over and out." Jill said as she started to leave but then a heavy blow came from behind, knocking her unconscious.
~ Barry ~
Barry made his way to the port and saw that it was deserted. He then wondered if there were any boats that were all right to use. He started to check one by one. He found various things but the seem to be useless. He some were missing their engines while others had no fuel or that there seem to be loose wires.
Barry searched and searched until he found one perfect boat that would be able to take all of them out of there. But then he thought about the possibility of having survivors. If there were more people, then they wouldn't be able to fit there. So he immediately went to search for another one.
But then as he searched, there was this water monster that emerged. Barry was taken aback and instinctively got his gun and started shooting the thing. But bullets didn't seem to affect the thing. Soon it had gotten hold of him. Its grip was strong and it was getting tighter by the minute. Barry knew that he had to do something before he really fell into its clutches. He couldn't afford to lose to that thing. The image of his family fueled his mind. He didn't want to die that way and it was out of the question that a thing like that would finish him off.
He was able to free a hand and he started shooting at the thing again. Soon he was able to free himself. He stumbled at the dock but before anything else happened, he ran for it. He headed back to the city. At a safe distance from the port he radioed in, "The virus had reached the docks. I repeat, the virus had reached the docks. Over." All of his companions were really shocked at Barry's report.
"Does that mean we don't have a way out by sea? Over." Steve asked. "Yes we do. I'll just finish off the water creature first and then we'll be free. Have any of you seen any explosives in this city? Over." Barry said. "Nothing." They all replied. "Then let's improvise. Leave it to me. Over and out." Barry replied. It had been a while but he still knew how to make explosives from scratch.
Barry then headed to town. He made his way to the hardware stores as well as drug stores. He gathered all the things that he would need to make enough explosives for the water creature.
~ Steve ~
Steve, after they separated, made his way to the police station. When he arrived there, there were still a lot of officers who were on duty. He quickly went to the front desk. He quickly told the officer in charge, "Help! There has been an explosion!" "Yes we know." The officer replied impatiently. "No you don't understand. The truck that exploded was carrying this chemical. The chemical is deadly and if we don't do something soon, this whole town is doomed." Steve explained.
The cop then leaned forward to him and said, "And what exactly does this chemical do?" "It will mutate all the things it gets ingested into." Steve just said. The officer couldn't help but laugh. He then said, "You mean to tell me that this city would be infested with the living dead?" "Yeah." Steve just answered. The officer burst into laughter.
"Look pal, we know all about the explosion and trust me actions had been made. Why don't you run along and sell your story to the tabloids. We don't have time for something like this." The officer quickly said dismissing Steve. "You don't understand!" Steve said as he was led away by another officer. But as they were about to approach the front door, it burst open.
Zombies started to enter in numbers coming after them. They were all dumbfounded for a second. Steve then took out a gun and started shooting the zombies in the head. He started to back up. He could hear scampering at his back. "Don't just stand there, we have to kill them before they kill us. Aim for the head!" Steve quickly shouted. Snapped into reality, the police that were currently there took out their guns and began to fire too.
Soon, when there were no long zombies there, Steve quickly told them to gather all the people in the building there and also gather all the guns, ammo and other things that they could use to defend themselves. Without another word, all of them did as they were told and quickly got everybody and everything that they would need.
The police that Steve earlier talked to came with him as Steve quickly sat in front of a computer. He then started to open some documents and had seen the latest update on the city. He even saw how big the city was and how far it was to the next civilized settlement. The police then said, "What are those things?" "Do you even have to ask? Those are the living dead." Steve just answered as he quickly searched the computer. "And what are you doing?" The police asked. "I'm finding us a safe way out. That is what my team is doing now...gathering survivors and finding all of us a way out. Now if you don't want to die, I suggest equip yourself while you still have a chance." Steve just said. The police just nodded.
Soon they all met at the main entrance. Steve then addressed them all, "Look we are dealing with something all of you never experienced before. We have to gather as many survivors as there are. If you want to stay alive, stick together. Come on. There are others like me out there looking for survivors. You are police officers and let's do your duty now. But remember, we have to stick together. There is no time now to be afraid." They all then left the building and started out all around the city. There were at least thirty of them including Steve.
~ Chris ~
He was able to make his way to the ski resort. But when he got there, he saw that it was already too late. Dead bodies were scattered everywhere. But still Chris proceeded just to make sure that there were no other survivors and that it was all clear. He slowly made his way because he wasn't sure if they would turn into zombies or if there were other monsters lurking about there. He was right. There were lickers and devil dogs running about there.
When they saw him, they immediately came after him. Chris knew that he had to out smart them if he was to survive it instead of just standing there and shooting at them. Besides, if there were other survivors, he had to get to them.
He ran into the cabin and when he got in, he aimed outside and took out his shotgun and started shooting. He was able to kill at least three monsters in one shot. When he thought that it was over, he noticed that there were zombies approaching him from behind. He, without thinking twice this time, started shooting at them until they were all gone. He then explored the cabin.
After some time of searching, he was able to clear the area so he started to head back to town. He was a little disappointed that there were no other survivors there. He then wondered how the others were doing.
~ Leon and Carlos ~
Leon made his way to the City Hall to see if there were survivors there and if Sherry was there too. On the way, he saw Carlos. "Hey! Anything?" Leon said as he joined with Carlos. "Nothing. I assume that goes with you." Carlos replied. "You've got that right." Leon replied. They then found themselves in front of City Hall. As they ascended the stairs to the main entrance, Carlos said, "To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind if this has fallen to the virus." Leon grinned. "Yeah but corrupt as our government may seem you shouldn't say things like that. We shouldn't spoil everything when only one is rotten." He replied. "You are indeed a police officer." "I serve the people of this country and nothing more." They then entered the building.
It seemed quiet at first. After entering slowly and keeping their guns close to them, Carlos commented in a low voice, "The quiet makes me deaf." "Yeah...it's quiet all right...too quiet." Leon answered back. That was when the undead came to them. It almost seemed endless but they were able to explore every room and were able to determine that there were no other survivors there.
They headed back outside. "I'm going to look for Sherry and the others." Leon said. Carlos just gave a nod. He then replied, "Right. I'm heading near the hospital. Rebecca's there and may need a little assistance." Leon just nodded and they separated.
~ Rebecca ~
After leaving the others, she quickly dashed to the nearest hospital in the area. As she went along, we grew suspicious why all of a sudden the streets were deserted and nobody seemed to be around. She didn't slow down to find out because learning about the virus and finding an anti-virus was more important at that moment.
When she got to the hospital, she was shocked to find out that everywhere she looked, dead bodies filled the floor. She stopped at the sight. It was a jaw dropping sight. She slowly made her way inside and soon the zombies started to rise. She quickly shot them and dashed to the nearest elevator. At the elevator, she quickly shut the door and didn't press any button. She quickly got the radio from her pocket and said, "Hello? Anybody? This is Rebecca. Come in, anybody!"
The others, hearing the radio signal said, "Come in, Rebecca!" "Guys, the hospital's down! I repeat, the hospital's down! It's infested with zombies. I'm not sure what else is in here but the virus had already claimed the hospital. Over." Rebecca reported. "Rebecca, this is Carlos. What is your position? Over." "I'm on my way to the third floor laboratory. I'm at the elevator at the moment." "How's your ammo? Over." "I still have plenty. Listen I can take it. I'll be looking for survivors. Over." "Just radio in if you need re-inforcement...over." "Copy that. Over and out." Rebecca said. She then pressed the button and headed to the third floor.
As the elevator doors opened, Rebecca took aim and slowly made her way out. She was met with a couple of zombie, which she quickly exterminated. She made her way to the laboratory and locked the doors. She then quickly took out the sample and started the examination.
After some time, she was able to determine why the person infected by the x-virus kept on regenerating itself. He found the answer in the DNA itself. Soon she was able to create and anti-virus. She then made a lot of serums. But it was time consuming.
~ Claire ~
Claire found her way to an apartment complex. She entered slowly. She then wondered where everyone was and why there wasn't any undead things lurking around there. She then started checking every room. She was able to find some survivors at each room. She then told them to come with her because it wasn't safe. Then in one room, she was able to find Jill unconscious. She quickly went to her side and was able to wake her up.
Jill sat and then wondered where she was. She then realized that Claire was also there. "You all right?" Claire asked. "Yeah. How did I get here? I don't remember ever coming here." "I don't know but this isn't the time to talk. It's not safe here." "You're right." Jill said as she got up. Claire then handed Jill her spare gun. They then continued to go and look around.
They then came to a room and saw Sherry there. She seemed unconscious. Claire was about to go there but then someone said, "Stay where you are! You are not to make another move!" When they looked, they were shocked when they realized who it was. It was Mrs. Birton, Sherry's real mother. "Surprised huh? You will not take my daughter." She said. Claire and Jill didn't say anything.
Mrs. Birton then went to a side and they saw that there was a monster there. "What are you doing?" Claire was almost afraid to ask. Then it dawned on Jill so she then whispered to Claire, "She's the one who created the virus." Claire just looked at her in surprise. "How could you be still be alive? Leon said that you were shot and that you died." Claire then addressed Mrs. Birton. "I have my ways. I'm not a scientist for nothing." She replied. She then released the monster. "Now you are finished." She then added. But then it attacked her instead and it killed her instantly.
Claire quickly got the sleeping Sherry and handed her to Jill. "Go Jill! Take her and go! I'll watch your back." Claire said. Jill almost hesitated but Claire gave her a look that there was no time to argue. She just gave a nod and led all of them outside while Claire battled with the thing.
Once outside, Jill handed Sherry to one of the women whom they saved. She then radioed, "Code red! Is anyone there? Over." Jill quickly said as she shot some zombies that were nearby, coming after them. "Jill, were are you? Over." They asked. "I'm at the streets with other survivors and also with Sherry. I need backup and I need it now." She said. "We're on our way." They all said.
Soon after, they all met. "Chris, Leon go to the apartment complex down this street. Claire is in trouble." Jill quickly said. Without another word, they went. Carlos, who was still on his way there, spotted Chris and Leon. They gestured him to follow them. Steve and Jill took care of the survivors.
When they arrived, they saw that Claire was already wounded. They then helped her. A shower of bullets came but the monster kept on regenerating. "You ok?" Leon asked as he helped Claire up. "Yeah. How are they? Did they make it out?" Claire replied. "Yeah." They replied.
They ran outside and made their way to the others since they were already out of ammo. They could hear the women scream and could also see the fright of the others when they saw the monster that was running after them. They were frozen in place. But as the monster was about to catch up with them, it slowed down and cried out in pain. Soon it was dead.
When it fell down, they saw Rebecca standing there with her aim still on it. She then smiled at them when she lowered her hand. "Take about nice timing." Jill commented. "Sorry it took some time. I've found the antidote to counter the virus. Come on! I think Barry is waiting for us by the pier." Rebecca just said. They all just nodded and headed to the port.
Soon they were sailing of and they detonated the city. As they watched the city burn, Rebecca then told them all about the things that they found. When they knew everything, they all knew that it was only the beginning and now that they had something to counter it, the war had already just begun.
THE END
Well, I know this isn't much but please send in your reviews because I would really like to know what you think about it. It's not of high standards I know but please...I need to know. Thanks for the support and reading it. Thanks. ^_^

Claire thought that it would be the end of her. She had no ammo left and Leon was still unconscious. She didn't know what to do and her mind was racing.

Chris reminded then before they went their ways.

Jill said as she started to leave but then a heavy blow came from behind, knocking her unconscious.
~ Barry ~
Barry made his way to the port and saw that it was deserted. He then wondered if there were any boats that were all right to use. He started to check one by one.

~ Leon and Carlos ~
Leon made his way to the City Hall to see if there were survivors there and if Sherry was there too. On the way, he saw Carlos. "Hey! Anything?" Leon said as he joined with Carlos. "Nothing. I assume that goes with you." Carlos replied. "You've got that right." Leon replied. They then found themselves in front of City Hall. As they ascended the stairs to the main entrance, Carlos said, "To tell you the truth, I wouldn't mind if this has fallen to the virus." Leon grinned. "Yeah but corrupt as our government may seem you shouldn't say things like that. We shouldn't spoil everything when only one is rotten." He replied. "You are indeed a police officer." "I serve the people of this country and nothing more." They then entered the building.
It seemed quiet at first. After entering slowly and keeping their guns close to them, Carlos commented in a low voice, "The quiet makes me deaf." "Yeah...it's quiet all right...too quiet." Leon answered back. That was when the undead came to them. It almost seemed endless but they were able to explore every room and were able to determine that there were no other survivors there.
They headed back outside. "I'm going to look for Sherry and the others." Leon said. Carlos just gave a nod. He then replied, "Right. I'm heading near the hospital. Rebecca's there and may need a little assistance." Leon just nodded and they separated.
~ Rebecca ~
After leaving the others, she quickly dashed to the nearest hospital in the area. As she went along, we grew suspicious why all of a sudden the streets were deserted and nobody seemed to be around. She didn't slow down to find out because learning about the virus and finding an anti-virus was more important at that moment.
When she got to the hospital, she was shocked to find out that everywhere she looked, dead bodies filled the floor. She stopped at the sight. It was a jaw dropping sight. She slowly made her way inside and soon the zombies started to rise. She quickly shot them and dashed to the nearest elevator. At the elevator, she quickly shut the door and didn't press any button. She quickly got the radio from her pocket and said, "Hello? Anybody? This is Rebecca. Come in, anybody!"
The others, hearing the radio signal said, "Come in, Rebecca!" "Guys, the hospital's down! I repeat, the hospital's down! It's infested with zombies. I'm not sure what else is in here but the virus had already claimed the hospital. Over." Rebecca reported. "Rebecca, this is Carlos. What is your position? Over." "I'm on my way to the third floor laboratory. I'm at the elevator at the moment." "How's your ammo? Over." "I still have plenty. Listen I can take it. I'll be looking for survivors. Over." "Just radio in if you need re-inforcement...over." "Copy that. Over and out." Rebecca said. She then pressed the button and headed to the third floor.
As the elevator doors opened, Rebecca took aim and slowly made her way out. She was met with a couple of zombie, which she quickly exterminated. She made her way to the laboratory and locked the doors. She then quickly took out the sample and started the examination.
After some time, she was able to determine why the person infected by the x-virus kept on regenerating itself. He found the answer in the DNA itself. Soon she was able to create and anti-virus. She then made a lot of serums. But it was time consuming.
~ Claire ~
Claire found her way to an apartment complex. She entered slowly. She then wondered where everyone was and why there wasn't any undead things lurking around there. She then started checking every room. She was able to find some survivors at each room. She then told them to come with her because it wasn't safe. Then in one room, she was able to find Jill unconscious. She quickly went to her side and was able to wake her up.
Jill sat and then wondered where she was. She then realized that Claire was also there. "You all right?" Claire asked. "Yeah. How did I get here? I don't remember ever coming here." "I don't know but this isn't the time to talk. It's not safe here." "You're right." Jill said as she got up. Claire then handed Jill her spare gun. They then continued to go and look around.
They then came to a room and saw Sherry there. She seemed unconscious. Claire was about to go there but then someone said, "Stay where you are! You are not to make another move!" When they looked, they were shocked when they realized who it was. It was Mrs. Birton, Sherry's real mother. "Surprised huh? You will not take my daughter." She said. Claire and Jill didn't say anything.
Mrs. Birton then went to a side and they saw that there was a monster there. "What are you doing?" Claire was almost afraid to ask. Then it dawned on Jill so she then whispered to Claire, "She's the one who created the virus." Claire just looked at her in surprise. "How could you be still be alive? Leon said that you were shot and that you died." Claire then addressed Mrs. Birton. "I have my ways. I'm not a scientist for nothing." She replied. She then released the monster. "Now you are finished." She then added. But then it attacked her instead and it killed her instantly.
Claire quickly got the sleeping Sherry and handed her to Jill. "Go Jill! Take her and go! I'll watch your back." Claire said. Jill almost hesitated but Claire gave her a look that there was no time to argue. She just gave a nod and led all of them outside while Claire battled with the thing.
Once outside, Jill handed Sherry to one of the women whom they saved. She then radioed, "Code red! Is anyone there? Over." Jill quickly said as she shot some zombies that were nearby, coming after them. "Jill, were are you? Over." They asked. "I'm at the streets with other survivors and also with Sherry. I need backup and I need it now." She said. "We're on our way." They all said.
Soon after, they all met. "Chris, Leon go to the apartment complex down this street. Claire is in trouble." Jill quickly said. Without another word, they went. Carlos, who was still on his way there, spotted Chris and Leon. They gestured him to follow them. Steve and Jill took care of the survivors.
When they arrived, they saw that Claire was already wounded. They then helped her. A shower of bullets came but the monster kept on regenerating. "You ok?" Leon asked as he helped Claire up. "Yeah. How are they? Did they make it out?" Claire replied. "Yeah." They replied.
They ran outside and made their way to the others since they were already out of ammo. They could hear the women scream and could also see the fright of the others when they saw the monster that was running after them. They were frozen in place. But as the monster was about to catch up with them, it slowed down and cried out in pain. Soon it was dead.
When it fell down, they saw Rebecca standing there with her aim still on it. She then smiled at them when she lowered her hand. "Take about nice timing." Jill commented. "Sorry it took some time. I've found the antidote to counter the virus. Come on! I think Barry is waiting for us by the pier." Rebecca just said. They all just nodded and headed to the port.
Soon they were sailing of and they detonated the city. As they watched the city burn, Rebecca then told them all about the things that they found. When they knew everything, they all knew that it was only the beginning and now that they had something to counter it, the war had already just begun.
