Resident Evil: Escape

Chapter 2-2 "Lab 0026"

"So, do you have any food? I'm really getting hungry." Lee asked the Merchant.

"Hmm… Let me go check." He answered, he left fro a while, looking through his stuff. He returned, with 'Subway' style sandwiches.

"Yes. Thanks." Julian and Lee chomped away. They stayed for about thirty minutes, just talking about what was going on. Lee decided it was time to go.

"Hey, what sort of handguns do you have available?" Lee asked. He looked over them, "I sort of like that M1911 A1, how much is it?"

"Five hundred." He responded.

"Oh, well, how much would it be if you could upgrade my Mark 23?" Lee gave it to the merchant, he examined it.

"Well, what do you want on it? Speed? Power? Accuracy? Capacity?"

"How about, the capacity upgrade, and the power."

"Well, since you are my friend, I will only charge you six hundred dollars."

"Cool, thanks."

The merchant got out a large brief case, all sorts of gun part in it, he began shuffling around the gun and in the end, it had a laser on it, a new black part on the chamber, with a new ultra comfortable grip, and a black part on the bottom of the handle.

"It holds 15 rounds now, use these new clips, I will trade them off for you." Lee had 7 clips, which turned into five, the last clip had 10 bullets in it, but the merchant filled it up for free.

"Nice doing business with ya, see ya later."

"Come back anytime." Lee and Julian walked off, deeper into the sewers…

Together they walked around turns, in a single sewer tunnel. They came up to a large metal door. It opened from the middle; half went up, half went down. They passed it, a little bit later they came to a long curved staircase, they slowly descended it.

"Man, I'm tired. I need some coffee." Lee said.

"Don't you sleep all day?" Julian asked.

"Sometimes…"

"See? This is way safer than walking on the streets."

"Yeah, good call huh? I still need to get to my brother…"

"Dude, there's no way he survived."

"Shut up, I won't quit searching until I find him. He was at work… On his way to your house…" It dawned on him. "Oh shit! God damn it!"

"What, What?"

"The zombies, Wang was on his way to your house! About a mile away he said. Fuck!"

"I aint going back!"

"We have to!"

"No, if you want to go, then go ahead, but I will not die up there." They found themselves talking on the stairs. About half way down.

Something echoed the background. A little dirt fell from the roof of the sewer tunnel. They were loud bangs.

(Through a red tinted camera in the game)

Heading down the tunnel, everything was red, the camera changing positions from the floor to the walls, onto the roof, making loud noises; it comes up the metal door. Ends…

BANG!

Lee and Julian look towards where they had come. They looked at each other. Something emerged from the darkness.

"RUN!" Lee shouted.

Julia and Lee ran down the stairs, something following behind, Julian occasionally took pot shots at it, with his Jerico 41 pistol. It hissed as it followed them; like a licker, but bigger with green skin, two large claws, and a mutated head. Its mouth was like that of a canine; large teeth were covered in blood.

At the bottom of the stairs was a gate, Lee ran to a lever, Julian came out right after him, he pulled it, the monster smashed into the metal bars, nearly breaking it down. They were in what looked like and underground cavern.

There were two sides in it, ledges actually, with a rusted metal bridge, suspended in the air by chains, which connected the sides. There was on other tunnel across the bridge.

The monster was blocked off, it hesitated for a few seconds, the vanished into the darkness. Large lamps light up the area, a few light bulbs were connected to a large hanging wire, providing light.

In the hole, was darkness. There was only a SMALL DIAMOND, and a HANDGUN MAGAZINE in the room. They crossed the bridge, and entered the tunnel.

Walking around a small right turn, they came to a sharp left one. On the ground lay a HANDGUN MAGAZINE.

As Lee grabbed it, there was a noise. "Watch out!" Julian screamed, grabbing Lee's shirt, pulling him back, as a large, 'spear' came down from the roof of the sewer, crushing the area where Lee would have been.

They walked ahead. It was another circuit of tunnels; a crank is noticeable on the wall. Julian, the strong one, pulled it, and the spear that nearly killed Lee went up, back to the roof.

Looking around the corners, they came up to a Gold colored door. Following a long passage way, a GOLDEN CHERRY lay on an altar.

Four zombies rose from the dead, but there was no problem. With 4 shots, each zombie was dead; the custom Mark 23 nearly decapitated them with one bullet. The pistol also gave off a shock, pushing Lee back.

They walked back to the circuit. Looking around the two square shaped connected hallways, they found a HANDGUN MAGAZINE, and the DYNAMITE.

"Why would there be dynamite down here? It doesn't make sense." Lee asked, picking it up.

"This city doesn't make sense." Julian replied.

"Hmm…" Lee walked back towards the exit.

The red camera view, the metal gate was run down, the mutated licker ran through the tunnels, and headed towards the duo.

Out of the darkness ahead, the licker popped out, heading towards them fast. "CRAP!" Lee yelled.

"Look!"

"Pull it!"

BAM!

Julian had jumped to a lever on the wall, and pulled it, a metal gate dropped in front of where the spear came down, the Licker was stunned, it had ran into the gate.

Julian studied it, noticing its facial features.

"Julian." Lee said, looking at him.

Julian looked at him, then back at the licker.

"Julian." Lee said, slower this time. Julian looked at him, then at the crank, he turned it, the spear came right down through the licker, splattering out blood.

"Cool!" Julian said, enthusiastically.

They walked back, to the cavern…

…The licker's body started to twitch…

They ran over the bridge, Lee stopped and said, "Wait here." He then ran up to a large wall, it looked destructible. Lee glanced back at Julian, and smiled. He set the dynamite, and ran back to the bridge.

The explosion blew rocks everywhere, the rock wall crumbled to the floor, some rocks fell off the edge into darkness.

They ran trough the new pathway, there was some poison serum on the ground, along with an incendiary grenade. They continued through the tunnel, which was getting smaller and smaller by the step. They came to a ledge. Both of them examined it.

"Looks like we won't be able to get back up." Lee said.

"Yeah, but I ain't gonna wait here to die."

"Good point." They jumped down, into a large tunnel; the walls looked like they were made out of bricks.

The tunnel was moist, as was the air, a few wall-light candles provided a bit of light. The walked to the right, the tunnel started to curve left.

A girl in a skirt, and a blue tub top ran down the path, followed by a large noise, the wall ahead of them collapsed.

"Down!" Lee shouted. Through the wreckage, stood a large dark figure. Its body was large, shoulders broad; something was on its back.

Lee and Julian lay still, as the creature scanned the area. It looked to the path the girl took, and said "STARSSSS" It then walked down that path.

Julian and Lee got to their feet, and walked down the other direction. "What was that?" Julian asked.

"You think I know?" Lee responded.

"I don't like that… It looks powerful."

"No shit."

They continued through a curving tunnel (to the right) until they came to an intersection. To the right was the rubble where the beast had came through, to the left, tunnel curving to the left.

They looked at each other and shrugged. They walked down the tunnel.

About 3 minutes later they came to a door, and a crumbled tunnel. The door was their only choice.

It opened, sliding into the roof. They walked into a small room, silver colored, with writing on the wall. "Lab 0026"

There was a black panel next to a metal door, it was broken, every three seconds a spark flew out. They walked through the door.

Ahead they walked through a small hall and into a small room with a merchant, a couch, and a type writer.

Again, he typed up a memo of everything that had happened since the last "save" It ended with 007/Lab Entrance.

The duo entered the only door here. They were now in an abandoned hallway. Every door on this floor was unlocked; only 4 zombies wondered them, which Lee took out with a total of 12 rounds of his pistol.

There was also a staircase, leading downward. Lee and Julian searched every room, only coming upon 6 SHOTGUN SHELLS, 6 E. SHOTGUN SHELLS (exploding), and a LETTER, which read:

There will be a change of plans. Those umbrella fuck-ups screwed up, and now we are being evacuated. We have no time to shut down the experiment running on B1, so we will just have to put that room under temporary lockdown. That should keep it for a few hours…

The boss says we will be taking one of the two spare helicopters out of here, going to some military installment not to far away from here, which will escort us safely out of the city, to the main lab. I wonder if Umbrella blocked off the city all the was to that area?

We are leaving now. I-----

"Hmm…" Julian murmured, as he read it.

"Let's head downstairs."

The exited to the hall and continued downstairs. Here, there was only one hallway. A large metal door was on the right, to the left was a regular door, they entered…

Here was a dark room, light from the outside filtered in (apparently on the side of a cliff, windows on it) Lab tabled covered the room, research papers everywhere, and a counter ran along the wall. A man was standing in the lab, in a lab coat.

He had red hair, was pretty tall and skinny. Lee walked up to him, the scientist became alert.

"Who are you? Stay away from me." He said as he ran to the back of the room, fumbling around with the utensils.

"Hey, we don't want to hurt you, we just want to find out what is going on around here!" said Lee, making hand gestures.

Julian and Lee approached him. His nametag read, Daniel.

"Daniel, don't move." Julian said.

He quickly looked up. "Get away!" he screamed, throwing a vial on Julian.

Julian started screaming, and fell to the ground, the purple substance was all over his arm. Daniel took off, Lee quickly shot his leg, he fumbled out of the room.

"Fuckin' help me!" Julian screamed. His arm was being burnt up, like by an acid.

Lee panicked, looking through the different utensils.

"LEE! HURRY!" Julian's arm was beginning to move, from the inside, like it was morphing, his skin turned grey, it moved up his arm.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Lee grabbed a large knife.

Julian shook his head, and held his arm out. The screaming was intense, the blade cut right through his arm, coating the wall with a paint of blood.

Julian fell to the ground, passing out; he would need medical attention, and fast. Lee ran out of the room, and followed the blood trail to the nearby room, Daniel was on the ground, in a small puddle of blood under his leg.

Lee pointed his pistol at his face, "Tell me what you did to him you bastard."

"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!"

"What the fuck?"

"Okay… okay, okay…"

The wall to Lee's right exploded, crumbling, as if by a grenade. A man ran in, shooting at zombies behind him, he came out of a tunnel. Lee assisted him, until the 13 zombies were dead, Lee, used a total of 21 rounds.

"Who, the fuck, are you?" Lee asked.

The man stood in a dark suite, with what looked like a bullet proof vest on, multiple weapons strapped to his body.

"Call me Jordan."

"What are you, a mercenary or something?"

"Don't worry about it, what's the story with you?"

"This dipshit, fucked up my friend, bad, he needs medical attention! NOW!" Lee pointed to Daniel.

"Hey man, don't…" Daniel was cut off.

"NO! Where is medical supplies?" Jordan asked.

"Do you mean where are medical supplies?" Daniel asked, in a sarcastic voice.

"Don't get smart with me!" Jordan pointed a gun to his head.

"Okay, okay… I am just a researcher, just hear studying things. There is a medical pack downstairs, in room B32, I swear. Take this card." Daniel handed it to Lee.

"Okay, what else do you know?" Jordan asked.

"I'll be back!" Lee left the room, and headed downstairs.

This area was light up by ceiling lights, leading through a hallway with multiple doors. He ran down the hallway, checking every door, until he came upon room B32. He swiped the card and entered the door.

He walked into a very cold room, steam raising off the floor, which was covered in ice. There were a few monitors which were inactive, and one door, which he walked through, into a small hallway with a window, looking into a room with what looked like bodies hanging up from the ceiling, packaged in plastic bags.

He went in the room. The card was useless now, he tossed it. He entered a very small store room, where on the shelf, was an EMERGENCY MEDIKIT.

As he exited, the bodies on the roof awoke, tearing at the plastic to get out and kill Lee, who took off, as he got to the door to the hallway, the power went off, just as it was opening.

"Ah crap, what now?" He asked himself. He had to crawl under the half-opened door into the dark hallway.

Lee stood up, alert, as he heard a hissing sound. His heart began to beat loud, he dashed through the hall, hearing thumps above him. He got out of that floor safely.

He ran back to the room where Julian was, lying in a large pool of blood unconscious. He used almost everything in the med kit to save him. Now patched up, he put him in a nearby chair, and left to go back to Jordan.

He entered the room, hearing them argue:

"Why can't you just answer me?" Jordan yelled

"I am just here on business! I meant no harm!"

"What the fuck? WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION?"

"All it was, was a simple mistake! I was only…"

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

"You have to listen I just… Oh cra-"

BAM

"What the hell?" Lee shouted, behind Jordan. "Are you crazy?"

"He wasn't talking."

"Why did you do that?"

"The prick was pissing me off…"

"Crap… look at him… was that a 9mm bullet?"

"Hmmmmm."

"But… half of his head is gone!"

Jordan held up a customized pistol, with was what looked like it was bigger than an average one, with gold on the sides, and a scope on the top. "Custom."

"Damn…" Lee said, admiring the gun.

"We need to get outta here, are you with me?"

"Sure… Okay, first of all, we need to get the power back online. I'll take care of that, can you watch over my wounded friend in the room nearby?"

"I have the weapons… Never mind, sure."

"See ya." Lee left. He went into the next room, with a non-automatic door. This was a maintenance room, judging by all of the materials in here. Lee searched the shelves for the FUSE.

He then left. His only choice was to check that "normal" door downstairs… He ran through the hissing, and came into a very long narrow hallway, which led him to a room with all sorts of electronic appliances. He put the FUSE in, and power was restore (probably a puzzle here).

When the lights came on, he noticed a back room, in it he found the MAP TO MILITARY BASE.

He put it away, and exited to the "hissing" hallway, wielding his Riot Gun.

The red licker moved fast, flashing past him among the walls; it took three shotgun shells to take it down. Opening the next electric door, Lee killed three blood soaked zombies with 6 pistol round, and grabbed a KEY form a lab table, he then left back into the hallway.

With only 1 more door in this level, Lee readied himself for the worst. All that was in the small storage room was an Incendiary grenade, Lee's belt now had two knifes, and 4 grenades on it. He smiled, and headed upstairs.

Making a dash for the door, he avoided a group of 6 zombies.

"Holy crap man!" Jordan yelled, holding a shotgun. "I nearly shot you."

"Glad you didn't"

"This place is being overrun with zombies."

"We should get outta here, how is he?"

"That guy, isn't that Julian?"

"Yeah, how'd you know."

"I've known him for a long time, anyway…"

BAM! BAM! The room shook.

"Oh crap, what was that?" Jordan asked.

"Listen, get upstairs, I want to check out what happened. I saw an emergency exit earlier… I'll be right back." Jordan shook his head.

As Lee exited, he shot two zombies in the head, and dodged the rest. Now downstairs, on B2, there was a large hole in the wall, debris covering the room, the wall had a hole in it, revealing a small cave.

Lee examined it and said, "Holy crap."

The room shook again, this time more violently. Red lights came on; on the walls.

"Warning, security breached. Area B11 endangered. Entering lockdown mode. All personnel evacuate immediately." A woman's voice said over the loudspeaker (computer)

"Crap…" Lee thought. He ran back upstairs.

The big metal door that was in the hallway on B1 was overlapped by an emergency metal door. Loud thumps shook the building, a loud thump, as if a metal door was broke down, was heard beyond the metal door. Lee walked up to it cautiously (the zombies now gone).

Something slammed into the door, as it bent outward, Lee fell over. It happened again, the door weakening. Lee scrambled, up, and headed for the stairs, out of the door came a big, 7-9 foot tall blue colored creature, its body mutated green and red in places. He stood tall, humanlike, naked, his left arm, redish orange, into a large claw, with long claws… (RE fans…)

Lee stood up, and shot the 7 bullets in his clip at it, he then took off upstairs, looking down at the large beast, as it followed him.

At the top of the stairs, to the left was the emergency exit door, Jordan stood there, a shotgun in hand, Julian conscious in the other (holding him up).

"What is that?" Jordan asked.

"C'mon, lets go." Said Lee, who used the KEY on the door, opening it up, Jordan shot at the TYRANT, the ran through it, into a small concrete colored room. Ahead on the door said, "To Heliport"

On the ground lay 6 E. SHOTGUN SHELLS.

The door exploded as the TYRANT burst through, the trio headed through the doom into another tunnel similar to the ones before the base. The came up to a small alcove, with a door that said, "Heliport"

Lee started to open it…
