Resident Evil 5

Two: On the Way

Leon pulled up to a clearing, it was brown –of course—and of course again, everything was dead. There was a woman standing in the clearing. She had blue jeans on and a black sweater. She had blonde hair, and she was very pretty.

Leon stopped the car and ran out and up to the woman.

"And you are?" Leon asked holding out a hand.

"Alice," she answered while shaking his hand.

"The one on the phone." Leon said. "So, what do I do now?"

"You wait," Alice said.

"What?"

"A chopper should arrive in exactly 10 seconds." She said, taking a look at her watch.

"What? No one is that accurate. I learned not to trust a chopper from my last mission."

"4, 3, 2, 1," as soon as Alice said one a chopper flew from above them.

"Wow," said Leon.

They both moved out of the way as it came down. The wind almost blew them away. As soon as it landed Alice and Leon ran over to it.

"This is Leon," Alice said to the pilot.

"Okay, Alice. Hello Leon, my name is Martin. I was a member of Umbrella. Come on in." Martin said.

Leon moved into the chopper and Alice followed. They buckled up and were off in an instant.

"Umbrella, huh?" Leon asked while looking up at Martin.

"Yes, Umbrella. Hate them now."

"I would too."

"I was also a member of Umbrella." Alice added, "They mutated my boyfriend. Made me fight him, I almost killed him."

"I'm sorry," Leon said.

"Nemesis." Martin whispered.

Alice quickly turned her head to him. "How do you know?"

"Well I did say I was once a worker for Umbrella."

For the rest of the fly there no one said a word. Alice sat in her seat and looked down at her feet. Martin, well, he did his job by flying the plane and Leon looked out the window. He was so bored and just wanted to get this over with.

They flew for an hour, starting to go over more civilized areas, there was still some brown places around, but not as many, and there were more buildings and more cars going around. In Raccoon City you were lucky if you even got to see two cars a day. You were more likely to see a group of zombies.

The more he thought of zombies, the more he thought of Ashley and her safety, and it got him worked up, and he didn't need to be worked up now. Why would he care about Ashley that way anyway? She was just the president's daughter who he saved a year ago, nothing special. But that weird guy with the accent sure thought it was something special, or at least he acted like it.

The chopper started to slow down. Leon looked out and there was a clearing with people, well at least it looked like people. Martin brought it down and Leon and Alice made their way out.

They looked at the people standing in the clearing, but soon recognized something.

"This aren't quite people," Leon said.

"I know, they're zombies." Alice said.

Martin quickly closed everything, leaving Leon and Alice outside with all them.

"What the hell?" Alice said. "What a wimp! He couldn't even wait for us to get in!"

"What?" Leon asked. He turned around and looked at Martin. "Son of a gun!"

The zombies slowly moved in. Leon grabbed his handgun, it wouldn't kill them all, but at least he had a start.

"Help me kill them!" Alice said, before Leon knew it, she was running after them. One came from behind her and she did a back kick, then one grabbed her arm, but she quickly swung it around and put it in a head lock, then spun is neck.

Leon fired at everyone possible. Killing some by the shot of a head, but some still lived. He was starting to run out of ammo, he would soon have to fight like Alice.

Alice was getting pretty tired, it's not easy killing a bunch of zombies. While kicking one down, another came and bit her. She let out a wail of pain and fell to the ground. It bit her on a nerve, causing her to not be able to use her arm.

"Leon! Leon!" she yelled as one came closer. She kicked it's head and it went flying, but she couldn't do that for them all.

Leon was still shooting, and he couldn't hear her, he was on the other side of the chopper, killing some off.

Alice was being boxed by all of them. They all surrounded her. "LEON!" she screamed while kicking some off. One that she kicked in the head before came crawling back. But she didn't notice it and bit her in the leg.

She screamed and kicked it in the head again with her good leg. All the zombies came down for a bite.

"Hi-yah!" said someone from behind all the zombies. It was a woman's voice, but she couldn't see her. All she knew was that she was kicking some zombie butt.

A hand came through the crowd and grabbed Alice's the girl dragged her away.

Alice could see her this time, she was a very beautiful young lady, she couldn't be in her twenties yet. She had black hair with a blue shine, and she wore tight blue jeans with a tight blue sweater.

"Who are you?" Alice asked.

"My name is Keri." The girl answered.

"How did you know where we were?"

"I got my sources." With that the girl was shooting the zombies that followed them, they all went down and very quickly they were all gone.

In a few minutes Leon came from around the chopper. When he saw Keri he stopped right in his tracks. "Keri?"

"Hey, Leon. She needs help."

"Alice? What happened?" he asked while running over to her.

"Just a couple bites that's all."

"Oh, no. You will-" Leon started.

"I know, I know. I will turn into one of them. Do you two know each other?" Alice asked, looking at both Leon and Keri.

Leon chuckled, "Of course I do. She is my younger sister, Keri."

"What? Wow. How old is she?" Alice asked.

"16," Kari butted in.

"You're 15, Keri." Leon said.

"16 soon."

"Yeah, in like 5 months."

"So."

"Well," Alice said, "That's very young to be a good fighter like you are."

Keri smiled.

"Let's get you back to the chopper and get fixed up." Leon said.

Keri and Leon picked up Alice by the arms and helped her to the chopper; Martin did let them in this time.

"Don't worry, I have these." Alice said while holding up a tube.

"It's the anti-virus. It'll cure me," with that, she put it into her arm. It was a bunch of needles in one thing.

"Ouch," Leon said. "That must hurt."

"No not really, after you do it as many times as I do it don't hurt."

Leon nodded his head. "We need to go. But first, I want to know how those zombies knew we were coming here."

"Lord Henry." Keri answered. "He rules all evil. I would look out for him; he'll kill you in an instant. I almost did die, but I got away by shooting him in the arm."

"Keri, I told you to stay away from evil places." Leon said.

"I wasn't in an evil village again," Keri said with a shake of her head, "he was walking the woods."

Alice and Leon looked at each other with wide eyes. "What? Walking the woods?"

"Yep." Keri replied.

"Well, Leon, I'm going to put you on the right path and you can go."

"Okay."

Alice bent over and reached for a bag. She went fishing through it until she found a folded up piece of paper. She handed it to him and said: "Follow this. I have marked in read where you have to go. Always follow the trail and here is some money for you. There will be travelling merchants, that's just the way things are now, there are no stores. And here his a machine gun, use it only when you don't have ammo left and when you have something bigger to fight. And we will keep in touch with these." With that Alice handed him a walky-talky.

"Alright," Leon said.

"Go over to that trail first." Alice pointed to a trail.

"Okay, see you. And Keri, don't follow."

With those last words, Leon was over to the trail. He took one last look at Alice and Keri and disappeared.
