Chapter Ten: Escape Part II
Corin was able to brake down the blast doors down which blocked his way to the virus storage room. A metal door slid open and he entered seeing another door slide open as the previous slid closed. He entered the room and the place was dark as hell. He felt for the night-vision goggles and slipped them over his eyes taking off his sunglasses. He switched them on and about three giant cases filled around the room.
He walked toward the T-virus case and punched through the glass and looked into it. About a hundred vials lay in there, with most of them broken and took three vials, putting them in his vest pocket.
He walked to the T-virus storage looking in seeing nothing. The T- Veronica, nothing. He went to the X-Tyrant virus seeing that only ten vials remained and he took them all. Virus retrieval, complete. Making sure that HFC gets the virus, no. He hurried out of the room and through the hole some creature crashed through and pressed the elevator button. The doors opened and he ran in, punching at the controls. The doors closed and he looked at the panel above him telling him that he had two minutes left.
"Warning, missile launch is in progress. All personal please evacuate at once. Operation termination Scrapeson is in progress. Warning-" went the intercom system. The elevator suddenly stopped as the alarm system went off.
"Returning all elevators to nearest floor." said another message.
"Shit!" he shouted in anger and looked the floor. He slammed his foot into the floor forming a gaping hole. He looked down seeing a small light and put his shades on. He leaped out falling at great speed seeing the light get bigger very fast. He felt his stomach dropping so hard that he had to scream. He saw the ground and landed on the electric devices damaging them as sparks flew out the bottom of his boots.
Clinch! He looked at the wall and the spoon shot up. He looked up hearing the elevator begin to drop. He went to the doors and put his fingers through a small gap and tried prying the doors open. The noise was getting louder and louder and he looked up again finally seeing the bottom of the elevator. "Oh Fuck!" He screamed and put his hands through once again and pulled away. The doors slid open a foot apart and it was enough for him to pass. He leaped into the giant hallway hearing the elevator smash into the bottom.
Tange stood at two control panels in the shed as he told Caitlyn to stay in the train. Nine switches with a number on it stood below a screen showing:
Railway Clamps
--/ 65
Must use nine numbers.
He pressed the nine button six times, okay that's fifty-four, three left plus, shit, plus four. He hit the number four switch turning the number into fifty-eight. Seven! Wait need two numbers, um, five plus two. He hit five and then two and hit the enter switch.
"Docking clamps offline, railway clamps released."
He let out a sigh and went to the next panel which showed blank, blank, slash, eighty-one. Ten numbers were below him marked one to ten. He hit eight, nine times, making seventy two. He then hit nine and enter.
"Train power is online"
"That was easy." he said turning towards the door.
Caitlyn sat at the control panel of the dead train listening to the message repeat over and over again. She had only the two handguns left and was whistling away staring at the controls.
"Warning, missile launch is in progress. All personal please evacuate at once. Operation termination Scrapeson is in progress. Three minutes until impact. Warning-"
"Shit! Oh Shit!" she shouted wondering what was taking Tange so long.
Clinch! She jumped up wondering what the hell was that and ran to the back cars with the handguns. The next car was filled with seats as she went down the aisle opening the next door and into the next car. More seats filled the area and the train suddenly came to life.
She hurried back to the front car seeing that the control panel was lit up. A small panel with nine numbers lit up and she looked at it. She read a small note saying that this was a code panel to have control of the train. The small screen above the numbers said blank, blank, slash, forty- five. She hit the nine button five times and pressed enter. Nothing happened.
"Warning, missile launch is in progress. All personal please evacuate at once. Operation termination Scrapeson is in progress. Two minutes until impact. Warning-"
She started to panic wondering what next to put in and then pressed all the numbers once and hit enter. The screen went blank and a loud hum came to life.
Tange suddenly burst through the entrance and looked at her. "Let's get the hell out of here!"
She pulled a huge lever up and the train started moving picking up speed as it entered the dark tunnel.
Corin saw the train start to move as he entered the platform and ran toward it. The last car was making its way in as he grabbed a hold of the rail to the car and hopped on. He knew Tange and Caitlyn was on here and had already made up his mind to dispose of them.
He opened the door and entered the storage car. Large crates filled the room and a door was at the end of the car. He ran to it and opened it entering a small railed walkway separating the two cars. Small lights zoomed past the speeding train and the tunnel disappeared revealing snowstorm as the train zoomed through the mountains.
A small light in the sky flew the opposite direction of the train followed by a trail of smoke. He turned and ran to the previous car and came out on the walkway seeing the light go into the mountains.
Suddenly, the gray sky flashed bright white exposing every shadow to light-
BOOM! A loud explosion sounded off and a fiery orange mushroom rose above the mountains in a continuous explosion rising miles and miles into the air. Minutes later it turned into a black cloud of smoke as Scrapeson City was literally destroyed.
Coring stood still for about a minute before he said something, "...wow..."
He turned away and went forward to the front car.
Tange and Caitlyn heard the explosion but were to busy to look.
"We made it!" he shouted in happiness as they both just survived the impossible. He didn't care about the money anymore, they were going to try and take Umbrella down.
"And that bastard Corin doesn't have a ride!" Caitlyn shouted, "He was blown to shit!"
"I'm going to the back to find something to eat, if there is some." he said laying the bag down and taking the two Browning's with him.
He stepped out looking at the morning sky as snow poured and entered the next car. And walked down the aisle entering the third car. More chairs were there and he continued to the fourth car. A small kitchen was to the right as he entered and put his hand on the cold doorknob.
"Tange Roland, I presume. What brings you to this part of the train?"
Tange looked up seeing Corin standing about ten feet away from him. "You're supposed to be-"
"Dead?" Corin interrupted. "I'm not dead I'm plenty alive unlike you're going to be. I will kill you and that bitch in the front car!"
"She's dead; she was attacked by the Hunters." Tange said lying trying to protect Caitlyn.
"Don't lie to me, Tange, I know what is going on, I saw her board the train.
Tange felt his stomach drop, wondering how Corin knew that, "what the hell are you?"
"Good question. I am a supernatural being; able to control the T- Veronica inside me after fifteen years sleeping in a goddamn chamber, after Umbrella brutally used me as a lab rat."
"Holy shit. That's impossible."
Corin took off his shades and let out a laughed wickedly, "Impossible, Mr. Roland? If it was so impossible, I probably wouldn't be standing here, I would have been dead for over fifteen years if it was impossible."
Corin walked closer towards him and he stepped back. Tange raised the handguns at his face.
"Go ahead, waist your ammo, I don't care, I'll just come back and kill you."
Tange pulled both the hammers back on both guns shooting at Corin's face. Corin stumbled back and Tange quickly bolted out of the car. He was going to try to unhook the car. The door banged inward as Corin slammed into it.
Tange ran for the next car onto the railway and looked a joint sticking out of two holes. He pulled at it as hard as he can and the joint slid out. The cars behind him began to lengthen away from him. The cars were twenty feet apart when the doors crashed open. Corin came through looked at him.
His freshly wounds were already healed. Tange waved at him knowing that Corin couldn't make a jump that far.
Corin laughed and leaped off the car landing in front of Tange and punched him in the chest. Tange flew through the metal door sliding down the aisle. Corin stepped up to him and picked him up by his neck with one hand.
Tange punched at his arms trying to free himself. He punched Corin's face and he threw him into the wall. Tange tried getting up on all fours when something made its way through his back. He looked down seeing a tentacle sticking through the right side of his stomach. He felt it pull away from him as he fell to the floor. His vision became blurry as he heard Corin's sudden talking go low and slow.
Caitlyn waited at the front car and wondered were Tange was. She got up and walked into the next car. He wasn't in there and she heard the door shut behind her. She turned around and saw Corin aiming a handgun at her.
"Why hello." he said, "thought I was dead."
She was speechless and looked around the room and saw Tange's body laying face down as he was bleeding rapidly. "W-what did you do?!" she stuttered.
He looked at her with a wicked look in his eyes, "Sweet dreams." he said.
He pulled the trigger and she felt a round dig into her collar bone. She fell to the ground and felt two more rounds slam into her leg. The pain was literally unbearable. She coughed up some blood and saw Corin walk over her.
Corin looked down at Caitlyn watching her eyes close. He walked into the front car and detached the car. He smiled at what he did and sped the train up, and wondering were the train would run out of track.
Mountains flew by him as snow hit the window. He had everything he needed. The virus and himself. He wasn't going to HFC to go and give the viruses to them. He was planning to do something with it. He didn't know what he would do, but he would do something.
The mountains cleared away and nothing but flatland stood before him. He took his equipment vest off and sat down.
The sun began to rise and he checked his watch. It was five twenty. He sat back and took off his shades and set them on the control panel. He smiled and began to laugh for no apparent reason.
End of Part I
Note: Well, I hated writing this chapter and making the bad guy win. Oh well, I'll have part two up in a few days. Anyway, please review! ;-)
