Disclaimer: This is actually a Role Play between me and two friends on a forum. That's why there are so many paragraphs, each one being from one of the character's point of view. I, nor do my two other friends own Resident Evil or the monsters that appear in this RP. The only thing we own in this are our characters and perhaps a made-up Bio Weapon or two. Here are the things that are ours during this RP:

Me (Uenna) - Yagi
Moneneko - Toria
Velier - Dracfoe

The story will update every time a chapter is made. Please enjoy it as much as us three have of making it.

Chapter II: THE TOWER

As the doors opened, Yagi ran in quickly, with a sigh of relief as he waited for Toria to come in after. He leaned against the wall beside the door, catching his breath, looking around for any signs of an undead creature. He looked to Toria and smiled a bit more.
"Well, at least my cardio is going through the roof."
It was true. His legs were almost numb from cuts, stings, cold, and not to mention all of the running. He wiped his brow and reloaded his Beretta as he listened around for anything unusual.

Toria entered the Radio tower cautiously, hand gun at the ready.
Her eye's flicked about, also checking for any danger.
"Hey at least that's a good thing...right?"
She had a few scrapes to deal with herself, one above her brow she got while toying around with a crow like creature. But only it's claws raked her, so she shouldn't be in any danger of contracting the virus any time soon.
Beside's, back when she was with Umbrella, she was debriefed on how to make up a quick antidote to the virus in case she ever need it while on a mission. Now if only she could remember how it went....
She shook her head, that wasn't important at the moment. Her attention had been caught by a faint clicking noise.

Yagi smiled with a small chuckle to the girl's reply, but it soon faded away as the ticking had also reached his ears.
"..You hear that too, huh?"
He lifted his body from the wall and slowly started to walk deeper into the Radio Tower, his gun ready. He seemed to know where he was going, even though he had never been in the tower before..
Just gotta follow the sound... and hope it won't kill me.
He sighed under his breath, knowing that whatever it was, unless if it was an innocent person or another S.T.A.R.S. member, it probably wasn't going to be good.
Curiosity killed the cat..

The sound halted, filling the tower like a silent void.
Toria glanced about, trying to see where the sound had come from and gasped at what she saw.
The ceiling was coated in webbing, obviously made from many large spiders. They could be seen, sitting in the middle of overly large webs, watching them hungrily.
She gave a groan.
"Spiders, I hate Spiders......Especially the mutant kind....."

Yagi looked up as Toria gasped, groaning under his breath himself.
"Spider-Man, eat your heart out.."
He put his Beretta slowly and quietly back into his holster and unhinged his shotgun from his belt.
He had run into so many of these vile creatures back at the Estate, so he knew to remain calm and to not make sudden movements... but still.. the look of the hairs on their legs.. their eyes...everything about them made him cringe.
"Prepare for a fight.."
He aimed his gun up and gave one blow to one of the spider's heads. It let out a horrifying screech as it fell to the floor.
Yagi pulled his Beretta out again and shot it's head a few more times, as it now lay limp on it's back, it's legs curling up into a ball and it's fluids slowly oozing out of it's dead body.
Yagi looked back up and saw the other spiders, slowly moving towards the two, ready to take revenge.

She pulled out her magnum, holding both weapons at the ready, she really did hate these spiders. They were not fun to mess with at all.
Watching them creep closer she held down her urge to bolt, she knew she could take these things down no problem. It was just a matter of shooting them in the head...No problem.
Smiling slightly she gave a light comment.
"I hear ya....Who ever came up with the phrase.. 'Your friendly neighbour hood Spider-Man' ...I'm going to shoot....."
She turned to the nearest one to her, aiming dead for it's center eye's.
Letting out about four shots straight into it's skull, giving one extra for good measure.

Yagi laughed lightly to Toria's response. He shot his Beretta at a few more of them, making them fall to the floor, hissing.
Unlike running for dear life from Crimson Heads, this seemed to have turned more into a game. Just like popping bees.
As each spider he shot down fell, he aimed his shotgun at one with one hand fired away. A gun in each hand.. a challenge to some, but he quickly learned how to handle the two with ease back in training.
"They aren't even trying!" He laughed again, actually feeling some fun rise in his body that had been waiting to come out ever since this nightmare began.

She laughed in response, seeing how light hearted he was being made her feel better. So what if she hated spiders, at least they were easy to kill. And it was kinda fun once you thought about it.
"It's like shooting fish in a barrel! They're just waiting to be shot!"
She brought down several more spiders, feeling more and more confident with each one that died.

Yagi kept shooting at the spiders, and once a break popped up, he stopped to reload his weaponry and then continued fire.
The floor was a mess now, enwrapped with spider-insides, but he didn't really care.
He chuckled and looked up to find more spiders when his cheerful smile faded.
"Whoa.."
Shooting at the webbing had slowly deteriorated it...and had unveiled what it was covering up. Nests... tons of them.. full of eggs of more spiders. They looked like they were ready to hatch at anytime as well. If he shot at one of them, it could just cause the birth to happen early, and one of the last things he wanted was an army of baby-mutant-virus-spiders crawling all over him.

She followed his gaze and swore, knowing fully well they couldn't take out that many spiders.
"Maybe we should move on to another part of the tower..say a spot that's not filled with egg sacks?"
Her uncomfort rose up in her again as a chill ran down her spine. This was not good.

Yagi nodded, still staring in awe at the hundreds of nests that rested above them. He gulped as he could sense life inside.
"Fun's over, I guess."
His words were hush and quick, almost in one breath as he jumped over the spider corpses and started to head down the hall, hoping that the eggs wouldn't hatch along the duration of their visit.
"Come on, we have to get out of this part of the tower, and quick!"

"You don't hafta tell me twice buddy..."
She ran behind him, taking the only possible path, through the tower.
Running up a flight of stairs she spied a door not far off, relief washed over her.
"There!"

Yagi jogged through the halls and up the stairs, stopping with a skid as Toria exclaimed her discovery. He walked back over and glanced past the door to see what she found, a confused expression upon his face.
"What'd you find?"
She smiled as she pointed out the sign attached to the door.
The sign held two simple beautiful words. Transmission Room
"Looks like fortune is smiling down on us today, eh?"

Yagi read over the sign on the door, his face beaming up.
"So the sun does shine even in the darkest areas.."
He gently pushed the door open, whipping out his Beretta and firing at a single zombie that had been lurking around inside. He walked over to it and stepped his foot into it's head as it's insides oozed out.
"Poor thing must've forgotten where the door was."
His fun spirit was back, and how glad he was at that. He looked to the controls surrounding the room and noticed a computer in the far corner.
A computer...? Hm.. maybe I can get some more information.
He headed towards it, sitting down in the bloody seat that was at the desk. He pulled himself in front of the computer and then looked to Toria.
"You see if the transmission equipment still works..I still have some work to do."
He took out a disc from his carrying case and inserted into the computer, as Umbrella files popped up and he began to type and work away.

She glanced over his shoulder as she moved towards the equipment and stopped, surveying the screen intently.
"Those are Umbrella file's your looking at....Are you a Hacker or something?"
She was interested to see what he knew about Umbrella, and was curious to know if he knew anything she didn't.
I just pray that he doesn't find anything on me...Because I don't think he would trust me very much if he found me out...

Yagi looked to her with a slight nod.
"S.T.A.R.S.'s most experienced inspector and hacker at your service."
He continued to scan through the files, rereading them over and over. Then a thought occurred to him. He glanced over to Toria.
"..How did you know that these were Umbrella files?"
There weren't any of Umbrella's logos on the screen.. a few pictures of bio-weapons and creatures that he had come across, but nothing that pointed out that it was Umbrella that he was looking up. There were also files on the Nemesis unleashed in Raccoon City.
I never saw her before... not until I met her here... how does she know anything on Umbrella?
He figured that she could have possibly heard of Umbrella, being that it was the main industry of the used-to-be town just past the mountains, but most people who he had come across from other neighbouring cities had never heard of the company, let alone it's dark secrets. He spun his chair around to face Toria, his arms crossed as he waited for an explanation.

Toria coughed slightly, looking away.
Great...now what the hell am I going to say to him? Think you stupid idiot, think!
"Er........well....you see......"

Yagi kept his arms crossed, still awaiting for a reply. He had an eyebrow raised as his curiosity continued to rise at this mysterious girl.
"..Well?"

"I used to take part in some illegal activities with a partner or two..we had this 'get rich quick' scheme in which we would hack into various big name companies and transfer money from they're accounts to ours...you know..a couple thousand here..a couple thousand there...who would notice?"
She forced on a slight smile, happy to came up with an excuse. And it wasn't entirely untrue. She did hack into umbrella's database to steal some money, that's how they found her in the first place.
"I was assigned several different companies to steal from. And it was my job to hack into Umbrella and take about eight thousand from them. They had enough after all. So I kinda know my way around they're files a bit if you know what I mean.."
Toria could only hope he bought it, if he didn't and knew she was lying. His trust for her would undoubtedly drop down to zero. Which would not be helpful in the giving situation.

Yagi stared at her, examining her for another moment. He could sense her nervousness and could tell she wasn't being entirely valid, but being that she seemed to be a good person, and the only other person he had come across that could possibly help, he let it go.
"Alright... if you say so."
He sighed under his breath and turned back to the computer, scanning the screen again.
I'll have to trust her for now.. she's all I have to rely on..

Sighing, she looked from Yagi over to the transmission equipment.
"I'll get that thing up and running.....With any luck we should be out of here in a couple of hours..."
Moving away from the strange S.T.A.R.S officer and his work, she approached the equipment, looking it over and fiddling with the various buttons and knobs, trying to get it operational.
Toria listened to static as she adjusted several things and flicked a few switches. Her effort's were rewarded with nothing as the radio went out with a soft plib.
"Dammit...it's not working...it looks like there's a wire or something missing...."
She examined the only inlet void of occupation with a slight glare of annoyance, her good mood fading.

Yagi continued to type, nodding as Toria went towards the equipment, as to look like he was paying attention.
When she notified the slight problem, he looked over, getting up from the chair and walking over, examining the wires and pieces.
"Hn... you're right. Well, it has to be in this tower somewhere, right?"
He looked to Toria, hoping she'd agree.
This is just like in Raccoon City...and the Clock Tower... someone doesn't want us to leave here...
"Yeah probably...Shouldn't there be an equipment room in here somewhere, though? I mean, don't places like this usually have back up systems?"

She found it odd that there was no replacement to the missing wire, but she found it even more odd that the wire was missing in the first place.
Please don't tell me they're testing this place to...I don't want my town to be a second Racoon City, dammit!

Yagi sighed, getting up from his knelt position and walked back over to the computer, taking the disc out and putting it back into his carrying case. He looked to Toria, a serious look on his usually childish face.
"It's mandatory that we find that wire.. it's our only hope."
He walked to the door, and paused. He looked back to the girl, his expression turning from serious to almost worry.
"Are you going to come along?"
He remembered the situation with the clock tower... how after all of the work they went through to find that missing gear... how that Nemesis destroyed their rescue helicopter...
We have to get that wire and get out of here...before Umbrella unleashes another one..

From else where in the tower slow paced foot steps could be heard, the sound vibrating off the walls, magnifying it for all to hear.
Toria looked at Yagi, giving him a firm nod as she stepped forwards to follow him.
"Damn straight I'm coming...I'm not gonna let myself die here...Let's go find that wire..."
Loading her magnum she flashed a grim smile.

Yagi tried his best to smile, then nodded as he watched Toria come beside him. Then he glanced up as his delicate ears picked up the sound of upcoming footsteps.
"...Do you hear that?"
He poked his head out from the doorway and looked around for any sign of life. He could swear he heard footsteps though... were they not alone?
"Yeah....."

Moving past Yagi, she advanced towards the railing, looking down upon the first floor of the tower to see if she could find the source of the sound.
Yagi nodded and followed slowly behind her, his gun ready. Whatever it was...it didn't sound human. It didn't even sound like a zombie or hunter.
What if it's a...? No!! It can't be!!
Yagi froze in his place, a look of apprehension clouding over him. How many of these things did Umbrella have? He tried to shake this fact off, but the thought kept reoccurring... what if it WAS one of them? Even if it wasn't, the thought kept his feet from advancing forward, giving him a small quiver in his breath.
