Chapter 6: Return

Chris

Chris sighed with relief. After much guessing, brain-racking and dial turning, it finally opened.

" Woo-hoo!" said Jill, and Chris stared at her funny.

" What?" asked Jill, " It took so long, I think that deserved a 'Woo-hoo' upon opening."

" Right!" said Chris, a smile forming.

The area changed drastically. It went from a damp, dark underground tunnel to a brightly lit lab. This place is as sczhio as the people who run it, thought Chris, Changes so drastically.

The lab had a ton of flashing computers, most of which were wrecked. Huh. All the labs I've been in are the same. Computers, creepy things in tanks, flashy button and yet nothing personalized or different…thought Chris, Wow that was a random thought. But true.

But something was different. Because in the middle of the room was a platform with a button on it labeled ' safety deactivation switch.'

" Woo-hoo!" hooted Chris, pressing the button, " This day went to suck to awesome in 5 seconds!"

Jill chuckled at Chris's enthusiasm and how he acted so childish, " You know that when things have to do with Umbrella, nothing's ever easy. But we are due for a break. Woo-hoo to that!"

An announcement came on the loudspeaker said, " Self destruction security lock has been de-activated."

" I guess we just leave now and wait for the others," said Jill.

" Your not going anywhere," said a sinister and familiar voice.

Meanwhile….

Andre was in a state of shock. The vampire was killed by 2 of them, specifically the man. He gritted his teeth. Not only that, the other 2 out ran the leeches…

Fools, thought Andre, I knew of the woman's plan all along. That's one of the reasons I built it like this. I had found out info on the inferior scum about their prior experiences and designed my lab accordingly. To think you need to de-activate all the safety switches. It's a game.

Andre set it up perfectly. He wanted to see if the legend was true, about the ex-S.T.A.R.S members, the convict, and the government agents. To see if they were capable of surviving his creations. A game.

That's all it was. If they truly intended to stop him, they had to kill him. He doubted they'd last that long.

Andre needed more dosages of H-virus to poison the water supply as well as the air.

He didn't look as it as polluting. He looked at it as cleansing. Time was all he needed. And he had plenty.

Chris

" Wesker!" cried Chris, anger replacing the momentary happiness in his voice only minutes ago.

Wesker it was. The traitor looked the same as he did at the Rockfort island, bleach blonde hair and trade mark black shades.

" Chris, Jill, a pleasant surprise indeed." said Wesker.

" What the hell are you doing here?" asked Chris, reaching for his magnum.

" Same as you," said Wesker, " I was sent here to blow up this place, courtesy of Umbrella. A pity that Andre's work has to go down the drain, but he won't listen to reason and cooperate. He doesn't care if he infects his own employers. But now that you and Valentine are here, it makes my life easier and more satisfying."

Jill quietly angled herself behind him, shotgun pointed at his back. But in a blur, Wesker had her in his grip, knife at her throat. The shotgun clashed to the ground.

Chris aimed his magnum at Wesker's head, and the man chuckled in a monotone voice.

" Seriously, Redfiled, what good will that do?" asked Wesker, tightening his grip on Jill, " I'll slit her throat long before you pull that trigger. And when you do, I'll break your neck so fast it'll make your head spin. Get it? Now. Drop all your weapons unless you want another pint of blood on your hands for the life you could have saved. Your choice, hero."

Chris hated to admit it, but he was right. He was more than aware of Wesker's abilities, and how he could snap him like a twig in an instant. Chris wasn't about to gamble with his life, let alone Jill's, so he set down the magnum and the handgun.

" Good…" said Wesker, and threw Jill against the wall.

He snapped her shotgun in 2, like it was nothing. Then Wesker raced up to Chris, who never had a chance. His fist connected with Chris's face; it exploded into a torrent of endless pain. That was his last feeling before his world got dark.

Leon

Leon and Ada had grabbed the other crest, a lighting bolt carved into it. The 5th and last door led to a room swarming with H-virus carriers.

Leon took out the 1st two with his Striker, Ada did mostly head shots with her handgun; only to have Plaga emerge. Which the Striker killed. They disposed of each with ease, for once; until 1 sniped out Ada.

Ada ducked in time, only to have the bullet graze her shoulder; drawing blood. She winced and Leon screamed, " Ada!"

" Leon…" mumbled Ada, trying to compress the bleeding.

A zombie sniper, thought Leon, The hell's this world coming to?

" Show yourself!" hollered Leon, as if it could understand him.

The room was basically empty, except for the platform and the boxes littering the corner. And a staircase. None of which provided cover for a sniper.

Another shot rang out. This time, Ada was too preoccupied to move out of the way. Leon had pushed her down, but the bullet hit her in the ankle. She screamed in agony, and clutched to the closest thing next to her, Leon.

" Stay here…" said Leon, gently easing her off him.

Man, when I find what's doing this her…thought Leon, furious.

A 3rd shot. This time it was aimed for Leon, who agley dodged it. Leon saw where the shot was fired from. It came from behind the boxes, but there was nothing there. There wasn't enough cover for 1, and 2; if there was a sniper there, Leon would see him…obviously. Unless he's invisible, thought Leon.

Leon shot at the boxes, and blood spewed on the wall. A figure flicked in and out of view. A zombie in a military uniform with a sniper rifle.

"..You and…your girlfriend…will never stop…Andre," rasped the zombie, "..she's dying…and you'll be joining her…soon."

" She's not my girlfriend," responded Leon, before shooting its head off.

Then he returned to Ada, who was slumped up against the wall.

" Ada, hang on," said Leon, trying to remain calm, " First I have to bandage you up…"

Leon had a First Aid spray, and it worked wonders on Ada's wounds. He tore some fabric from his shirt and used it as makeshift bandages for her. Leon was no doctor, but he knew they had to get out as soon as possible to get those things properly treated. Well, at least it didn't hit any major arties, he thought, or she'd be dead by now. Ada had winced a little, but other than that she kept quiet.

" How are you doing?" asked Leon.

" I'll manage," she wheezed , struggling to stand, " I'm sorry. I'm just going to slow you down. Just leave me here and get me on the way back."

" No." he said, firmly, " When I come back you'll probably be gone or dead. Your coming with me."

" Look, I can't even stand straight!" she protested, " I'll be more of a burden than Ashley. Leon, go! If the place, the world is infected because you cared too much, I'll never forgive you."

" Don't flatter yourself," lied Leon, " I really don't care about you. I just care whether or not you staged to get shot so you can scamper off to your employers."

"But-"

"You always had your own vendetta, Ada."

"-Leon, your not making sense-"

" Whatever, don't care."

Leon saw a twinge of sadness in her eyes, before they harden up again, cool and collected.

" I'll be waiting," she said, as he exited, beginning to regret the things he said.

Luna: Done! This chapter reminded me a lot of my ADAAA! Chapter in RE4 infected w/ dumbness cause they kept screaming each others names. I leave you with this questions : Will Leon ever trust Ada again and admit his true feelings? Is Chris and Jill still alive? If they are, can they defeat the seemingly immortal Wesker? And what will happen when they find out that there is no Self-destruct switch? Find out some of the answers in Chapter: Old enemies.
