Chapter I: THE VILLAGE

It's a dark night on the mountains of the region where Raccoon once stood.
A small village lies nestled in the boundaries of the rocky peaks, only one road leads into this town..and it has been blocked off by a mysterious land slide.
It seems that the T-virus that had infected Raccoon City had spread to this village by unknown reasons.

Only a few survivors remain, and they must survive the horror until help arrives....

Toria sat within the safety of her house, sparing a glance out the window, she gave a deep sigh. The cannibals were roaming the streets as if they owned the place. Well, technically they did now.....
The screams had stopped several hours ago, giving her the estimate that everyone was already dead. Perhaps there were other survivors. Maybe if she rounded them up they could cooperate and get out of this damn town.
Cocking her hand gun Toria gave a deep sigh. There was no time like the present to go out and get eaten.

Yagi ran down the street, panting lightly as his footsteps made harsh bangs against the gravel below. He would turn every now and then to fire his Beretta at the carriers that were tracking him down.
This is just great... I finally escape Raccoon just to end up in this crazy-ass town..
He continued his jog until he finally turned for the last time and noticed that the streets were clear...at least for now.
He stopped to catch his breath, sitting on the side of the road, his Beretta still ready incase of any sudden attackers.
I can't believe it spread this fast... And are all of the villagers infected? Surely there must be a survivor or two... this town is way smaller than Raccoon, and even it had it's few lucky people..
He sighed as the sudden feeling of being alone finally set in. Or so he thought he was...

A soft growl...

He looked to the left to see a Cerberus rearing the corner of a 4-way path. It mush have smelt him. He stood up quickly, just in enough time to turn and run as the mutated canine charged after him. Again he turned between heavy breaths, firing at the hell-hound.
Please...someone help me!

Toria placed a hand on the knob of her door, taking a pause to take a deep breath before finally twisting the knob and pushing the door open.
The creatures were slow, that would make them easy to dodge.
Which was plenty good, because the more bullets she saved, the better her chances of surviving, which of course was important.
Skirting past the first slow enemies was easy, these were nothing compared to the Cerberus she had to deal with earlier, damn dog..she knew she shouldn't have boughten it......
Rounding a corner she saw Yagi, running and firing at, as luck would have it.. a Cerberus.
"Get down!"
She shouted loudly, quickly taking a careful aim and shooting the dog twice in the head.
It yelped and fell dead, a smile flickering across her lips.
Damn Umbrella....Why the hell did they have to release their virus in the first place?
"You okay?" She called to the man.

After he turned the corner and heard the female voice call to him, his expression of fear turned to surprise.
So there are survivors..
He quickly dodged the bullet as it pierced the Cerberus, the jump almost making him land to the ground, but he recovered himself with a small stumble.
He straightened himself up and looked to the girl, a small smile of relief upon his face to see that someone in this town wasn't out to eat him.
Red hair...kind of like Jill... hopefully she'll be as nice as Jill...
He brushed some dirt off of his uniform and walked over, still recovering his breath.
"I'm fine, thanks. Just a little tired from all the running I've been doing. That was some pretty good aiming there."
I'd best be friendly if I want friendly back..

She returned the smile, pleased with the fact that she wasn't the only living person here in this whole damned town.
"I've had plenty of practice..It's good to see another person who hasn't been infected with this virus that has been going around."
She looked him up and down, recognizing the uniform from old jobs and television.
"You a member of S.T.A.R.S. I take it? I guess your claims about zombie-like creatures at that mansion were true...."

Yagi nodded and grinned almost sarcastically, with a light chuckle."
Yeah... a little too late to believe us now."
He sighed and looked up at the sun-lacked sky, then back to his new friend.
"I'm Yagiza Matsui... though everyone on the force calls me Yagi." He grins again, holding his hand out for a shake.
"And you are..?"

Toria snickered slightly.
"Yeah, you're right there my friend....."
She took his hand and shook it warmly, pleased that this man obviously had some background in fighting.
"My name's Toria Himarishi, it's a pleasure to meet you and not some flesh eating freak..."

He grinned and shook back gently, his other hand places promptly on his waist.
"Heh, you and me both. I've seen enough cannibalism to fill the rest of my life. I never thought that the viral infection would spread so fast.."
I wonder if she knows anything about Umbrella? Hn..probably not..she's just a pedestrian... one that knows how to handle a gun, thank the Lord..
He looked around a bit, to see the streets still clear, though the moans of the zombies slowly drew closer.
"..We should get moving. We can't waist much ammo, or we'll be sitting ducks for those damned undead."

She nodded in agreement, looking behind Yagi at the incoming zombies, giving a little sigh, she chuckled.
"You're right, here they come now. Luckily they're slow so they're not much of a threat. But we do have to worry about those other one's, not only the dog's but the faster one's..with claws..."
Seeing that he was from S.T.A.R.S. she decided to withhold the information of her previous occupation for now. Lest he decided that she was a threat.
Besides, he seemed like a nice guy. Starting a fight was the last thing she wanted to do at the moment. She didn't want to be left alone here anyway, even if she could handle herself, company was still welcomed.

Yagi looked over his shoulder with a bored sigh.
"Those things are just annoying, is what they are.."
Toria's mention of the Crimson Heads made a shiver go down his spine. He shook out of it and looked to her. She seemed nice. And he'd been alone for hours... he'd been alone since the demolition of Raccoon. Right at the moment, as long as it wasn't decomposing, he was happy to have anyone at his side to help him fight.
It struck him a bit odd that this girl seemed to know of the Crimson Heads.
I thought those things were only at the mansion...? Oh man..please don't tell me that they're here too...
He sighed again when he noticed that the zombies were still advancing.
"Let's move." He reloaded his Beretta and started to pace forwards, looking back to Toria to see if she followed.

She gave a quick nod and followed behind him, her small hand gun at the ready. She looked about for any sign's of real danger but found none.
"So, do you know if any others are coming behind you? Or are you all that's here?"
Sighing wistfully, she smiled slightly.
"Back up would be really good..."

Yagi jogged lightly, fast enough to not wear out his energy, but fast enough to keep distance from the infected.
"I wish. I haven't seen any other RPD officer or S.T.A.R.S. member since Raccoon was destroyed. So far, you're the only other living non-cannibal thing either than myself that I've stumbled across."
He stopped at a corner, leaning against the wall of an abandoned diner. He peered over around to the other side to spot something he feared. He looked to Toria and signaled for her to stop running as he put his Beretta into his holster and took the shotgun from his waist.

Toria stopped and pressed herself against the wall beside him.
"I don't think needing a shotgun is good....."
She switched her hand gun with her magnum and loaded it up.

"Is it ever?"
Yagi loaded it with a new set of shells as he peaked as little of his body as he could over the edge of the brick wall and aimed.
It was a Hunter, feeding on what looked like an innocent body of a 12 year old boy.
Hm...didn't even have the chance to become one of them...
He adjusted his focus on the target, aiming for the head. Even with it being so close, it would still take a couple of shots to take it down, and he wanted it down as soon as possible.
His finger tightened around the trigger of his shotgun, preparing for the last few milliseconds before firing.
Quickly, the shell of the shotgun flew out from the barrel and struck the Hunter in the head. It roared painfully, then turned to where the gunfire had been born. It quickly began to charge towards Yagi and Toria.
"Shit.." Yagi muttered to himself as he cocked his gun as quickly as he could then hastily aimed before firing again.
This time, the creature fell, but it still was not dead...

Seeing that the Hunter was still alive, she decided to take it upon herself to finish off what Yagi had started.
She threw her Magnum out in front of her and shot three times, one hitting it in the shoulder and the other two homing in on the head.
"I hate those things......Too sturdy....Too hard to kill..."
She looked at her gun.
"And I wasted a bullet doing that...."

Yagi sighed with relief as the Hunter squealed in agony as it's last breath faded away, then looked to Toria.
"At least it's dead... who would have thought that a mixture of a toad and a werewolf could be so deadly?" He smiled sheepishly, not sure if he should have made such a comment in a situation such as this, and then looked over to the boy that the Hunter had been devouring.
"The head was bitten right off...no need to worry about reanimated bodies here..."
He turned and looked behind Toria from the direction in which they had come.
"On second thought..."
The zombies from before were still heading towards the pair, but still at their slow pace, Yagi needn't see anything to worry about.
"Let's get going again, before any more of those Hunters appear.." He attached his shotgun back to his waist and pulled out his Beretta again, and began to pace forward down the street, giving a small sigh of remorse to the young body as he passed it.

Toria cast a look down at the small body as she passed by it, the child had probably been looking for his mother in all the mayhem that was spreading.
And it looked like he would never find her.
"Yeah, they kind of remind me of Kermit the frog on drugs....... on a really bad day....."
Looking back, she sighed in annoyance at their pursuers, moving after them slowly and dim witted, but unfortunately fast enough to keep up.
"Those guy's are gonna be following us all day....annoying..."
She flipped open her magnum and pressed in more ammo, can never be too careful out here in this type of situation.
She learned that back at training...

Yagi quickly advanced forward, keeping his eye out for any movement up ahead. At the slightest noise he would turn his head...even at the sounds that not even a human could hear, unless if they were specifically focused on that particular spot.
"We'll probably lose them soon after a few turns..." He spoke reassuringly, still glancing in all directions.
Hunters are one thing...so are Crimson Heads... but...what if one of them are here...?
He cringed slightly then kept his jog as the faint call of "SSSSTARSSSS.." flooded through his mind.

Toria gave a careless shrug.
"It doesn't bother me...as long as we stay alive and don't get eaten or infected I'm good.."
She watched Yagi closely from behind, something about him just didn't seem..well...right.
He was hiding something important and she knew it, and she wasn't too keen on the thought of working with someone who had something to hide.
His tendencies to react to the smallest things unnerved her, he seemed to be hearing things that normal people could not.
It wasn't like he was a threat though, after all those drugs Umbrella pumped into her over the course of the past few years, she should be able to watch herself pretty easily.
"I think our best bet would be to hit the radio tower, maybe we can send out a transmission and hope that someone hears it and sends help. Maybe you can get the rest of your team down here...It would be really useful....."

Yagi looked back to Toria and smiled.
"Good plan." He looked around and saw the radio tower, though it seemed too far away to tell that it was even there, he seemed to know what it was.
"It's over there.." He looked down a few roads and took a sharp turn to the right, heading down a road which gradually turned into a dirt path, surrounded by shrubs and trees.
His awareness was still at his peak as he walked down the path cautiously, each one of his steps as silent as the air around them, not to mention light...his boots didn't even seem to leave an indent in the soft dirt beneath them. His walk soon turned to a steady pace, though the path seemed clear.
It was getting darker, the sun had set, though through the clouds, you couldn't tell. The shine of the moon poked it's way through small breaks in the clouds, but the dreary little path still was covered in darkness. The moonlight provided enough light to at least see the dingy road.
Yagi, however, didn't even look like he thought of where he was stepping, as he easily skipped over uplifted roots that any normal person at his pace would tumble over. He did the same for any boulder or stone sticking up from the ground..as if he knew they were there...but how? It was too dark to see normally... but even the shadiest obstacle seemed to be a breeze to pass for the agile 18 year old.

Toria watched his movements carefully, she knew he wasn't normal one bit, training couldn't do that for you, at least she didn't think so.
"So....Yagi......You seem to be able to see pretty darn well...."
It was only natural for her to be suspicious, it was the only thing that kept her alive for all these years.
Yeah, her heightened performance made her stronger and more agile than your average human, but this was ridiculous....what was up with him?

Yagi kept jogging, dodging the roots and rocks that lay ahead. He looked back at Toria.. it seemed she was smarter than she appeared.
"Uh...yeah, I've just been wandering around enough.. I know where a lot of the roots and rocks are on this path.."
A stupid cover, but it would have to work for now. If she found out what he was... she might try to kill him.

Toria cocked an eyebrow, she could tell he was lying, it was in her nature to know these things.
"Alright then, if you say so.....Perhaps you'll feel more up to answering questions a bit later...when things aren't that bad...."
She kept her guard up even higher then before, not entirely trusting him.
True she was with holding secrets of her own, but she didn't think that they were quite as odd as his seemed to be.
She pushed the thought from her mind and returned to the task at hand, jumping around and over the various obstacles.
He may have been lying about knowing these grounds well, but she actually did."
The tower should be pretty safe, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Anything can happen in a situation like this..."
She gave a sigh, accompanied by a soft grin.
"Let's just hope no more of those hunter creature's are around, although it's very doubtful there was only one.....And be careful about how you handle the weaker one's...if you have to kill a few, make sure there's no chance of them coming back...or they come back to bite you in the ass later on, and much nastier..."

Yagi nodded as he ran. He could tell that she didn't buy it, at least..not as much as he suspected, but he pretended that she did and focused back to the path and the Tower.
She's talking about one of those..
He decreased his pace as the memories of the Spencer Estate spread through his mind, remembering the first time he encountered a Crimson Head. It's eyes were so blank, and it's screech..just horrifying. The long claws attached to each digit of it's hand baring from under the rotting skin. He kept running, though the reoccurring memories almost made him stop.
He looked down at his hands to see that they were slightly shaking.
Do I really fear them this much..?
He had met a Crimson Head way before he ever came across a zombie... so of course his first encounter with such a monster would stick the most.
After a second of thought, he snapped out of it and kept running, changing the subject from the current topic.
"The tower is just up ahead... and you're right. Those monsters are probably in it..."
Probably those mutant spiders...

She sighed, running up to keep pace beside him.
"So.....how much you willing to bet that what's in there is gonna be worse then what's out here?"
She decided to take a more light hearted tune to the situation, it wasn't going to hurt anyone.

Yagi looked at Toria as she caught up beside him and smiled a bit at her.
"Well, let's just say that I hope that your aren't arachniphobic."
He knew that the mutated spiders just loved to dwell in areas such as old towers.. abandoned or not. It was a perfect place, dark, dingy... and full of nooks and crannies to fill their webs with.
He kept his grin upon his face and kept jogging as the letters of the gate signs to the Tower were practically visible to him. They'd probably make it there within the next few minutes if they kept up the pace.
It's odd though....why aren't there any monsters along this path? I'm assuming that they're all having a secret meeting on how to devour us in the tower..
He sighed slightly at his irregular mind and told himself to knock it off. Though making light of the situation was a easy way to handle things, some of the thoughts that went through his head in the process were just too messed to even help.

She hated the giant spiders, this wasn't going to be much fun.... She didn't like them ever since she was poisoned by one during training.
"Would you believe that I hate spiders?"
She kept up her joking tone, feeling better now that the situation was a bit better off.
A walking corpse staggered onto the path ahead, turning it's small head towards them.
It appeared to be a child that had only reached the age of eight.
Opening it's mouth it let out a slow soulless moan as it reached out towards them, towards they're warmth.

Yagi chuckled slightly. What luck... then again, he feared the spiders too.
Hell..I fear just about every God-damned abnormal creature I've come across in the past 7 weeks..
His chuckle stopped as he saw the infant-zombie come towards them and sighed slightly.
"Perhaps we should just run around it..? It's not like it can catch us.."

Toria nodded in agreement.
"I don't think I would be able to bring myself to shoot a kid anyway, even if it's a virus carrier..."
She moved to go around it, when they were cut off by about seven others, blocking off the path and slowly staggering towards them, moaning hungrily.
"Well if this isn't just perfect...eh Yagi?"

Yagi sighed slightly, a small glimpse of disbelief in his eyes.
Why me..?
He reloaded his Beretta with a fresh pack of ammunition and aimed.
"It's time to bring down some zombies!"
He started to fire at them, knowing that there was no way to run around them without a fight. He fired at the closest one coming, and as it fell to the ground, he remembered the younger carrier that was behind them.
"We have to move forward as we fire or that other one will get us!"
He advanced forward firing at the attackers, wishing that this endless nightmare would just stop...that he would wake up in his comfortable bed back in Raccoon City with the sun beaming through the blinds of his window. But that wasn't going to happen. This was too real to be a dream.

She ran, moving swiftly and quickly while firing round after round at the on coming attackers as if her life depended on it. Because well, it did.
"Dammit, I hate these things....It's hard to believe that just yesterday they were all living, breathing people......."
Aiming for the nearest ones head she fired bring it down, making a point to stomp on it's head as she passed. They didn't need any crimson head's following them. That would only succeed in making things worse.
The virus carriers fell before the onslaught of the experienced fighters. Giving out faint low moans as they fell to the ground, twitching. Parts of they're bodies littering the ground, giving out a rank smell that made one retch.

As he ran through the decaying barricade, Yagi groaned in disgust while he leapt over the bodies. His sensitive nose was full of the rancid smell, it was enough to almost make him faint.. but he kept going. After jumping over the low wall of zombies, he turned and shot a few bullets to their heads. He panted a few breaths, then turn back towards the tower and kept running, like there was no tomorrow. They had to get to that tower.. it seemed to be their only hope.

Toria followed behind, keeping pace with Yagi quite well. Determination shown in her eyes as she stared straight ahead at they're destination. The Radio Tower... If they could on get there, and radio in a helicopter or something, they could get out of here.
"Almost there....."

Yagi looked to Toria as she spoke and nodded with a faint smile.
Almost there... we're almost there...
He kept running, as he could feel his legs slowly starting to lose their strength. He'd been running for practically weeks now, from monsters and creatures that Umbrella had unleashed.
I haven't even had time for a break... well, maybe once this is over... if it ever is over...
The thought of being able to rest motivated him to keep running, his breathing becoming harsher after each passing minute.

Toria noticed Yagi's labored breathing and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to rest once we've escaped from this hell hole......until then though, I'd have to say hold your breath.."
She stopped at the large doors of the Radio tower, looking them up and down carefully before placing a hand on the handle.
"Let's just hope we're not locked out......"
Giving a swift push, the door opened inwardly with a groan. Air, untainted with the stench of death washed over them.
