Chapter Thirteen: Our Enemy is Stronger
The next dayCorin Pearson sat in his chair sipping a cup of brandy in the abandoned ware house in Hilton city. It's been four months and he had been finding followers after figuring out a plan to rob the Red Umbrella for its tyrants. It was supposed to be the biggest tyrant storage facility in the world and he was going to rob it.
Most of the people he gathered were more like Satan worshippers and gothic. Playing with Tange's mind was pretty entertaining to him, after seeing the power of the T-Veronica. He couldn't believe Tange had beaten him, he let him, like playing a videogame.
Vlad Bolomor, one of his top men came in, "The train is ready, and we have just found out that this is an abandoned Umbrella warehouse, it leads to the storage lab."
"Well that is excellent news." he said, "now get everyone into the chamber; I have a little speech I want to give."
Vlad exited the room and Corin took another sip and stood up, sweeping dust off his coat. He walked down the rickety hall as he exited watching all his followers go to the main chamber. Many of them dressed in black, half of them murderers and cons, this was a powerful group. Vlad was an expert sniper kicked out of the military. He entered the chamber which was an empty storage area and climbed a ladder onto a rusty walkway. All fifty of his people were standing before him crowding the room. He had named the group Dark Heresy, ever since the group was assembled. Well, they weren't assembled, he possessed them.
"Dark Heresy! Hear me!" he shouted hearing the crowd quiet down, "For four months, we have gathered here this very day to help revolutionize the world. We will create plague, for those who have turned this planet into a pretty shitty place. A place with parks and tax paying, and government. I don't like how Earth is operating today. Is that what you want?!"
"No!" the group screamed.
"We will turn this planet in the way we like it, with no rules, government, and money. You can live where you want, do what you want when you want. That's what I want! Is that what you want?!"
The crowd screamed in excitement and began pounding their feet on the ground.
"Today, we will go to the Red Umbrella, and we will rob the place of its tyrants, no matter what, creating the most powerful army in the world! And with the little help from our friend: the T-virus, we can conquer more land making us the most powerful people in the world!" he shouted holding out a vial of the T-virus. "And if anyone tries to stop us, we will GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE THEY DO!"
The group burst into a excitement and Corin stepped down allowing Vlad to come up.
Vlad took a step forward and shouted. "To the train!"
The group began boarding an old ten car freight train, outside the building as Corin buttoned his cloth trench coat and boarded the Blue Umbrella engine.
The engine from the Blue Umbrella was an excellent train, and a pretty fast one reaching speeds up to two-hundred. After careful planning, this warehouse was ten miles away in the industrial section. The track should lead into a cave and they should enter a small station platform.
He sat at the controls and Vlad came in, "Everyone is on, how many tyrants are in the storage facility, sir?
Corin pushed the control lever up after typing in a code and the train moved out. " Mr. Bolomor there are exactly three-thousand seventy stasis pods in that facility, but only three-hundred twenty are occupied."
"Sir, are you sure this train can hold that many? This train is crammed as it is."
"Keep your problems to yourself Mr. Bolomor, let me handle this. Now lets say we both listen to the radio." he said reaching down and pressing a button. "When was the last time you've listened to music?"
"I-"
"The biggest ship in the world, so called Renegade has just departed from Alaska, as it makes its seven- day voyage to New York. It has been recorded to be the largest Umbrella military ship in the world, protectively transporting supplies around the world. The giant vessel is able to go to the speeds of one-hundred twenty miles an hour, making it the fastest ship ever recorded in history.-"
"Did you hear that Mr. Bolomor? I have another plan."
"Corin that's a military ship, who knows what the thing is packing." Vlad said his voice breaking.
"Mr. Bolomor, we are about to rob a tyrant storage facility. We can surprise the ship when its out of range with radio transmission, and deploy the invincible army onto it. Then we will release the T-virus onto the ship, turning it into a man-made plague. It's brillinat!"
The train was now zooming down the track at the blazing two hundred as Corin and Vlad sat in the control chairs while a small dark opening in the mountains finally became visible. "Does everybody have weapons, Mr. Bolomor?"
Vlad looked away from the window, "yes they do."
Corin got up and pulled the lever down to fifty and the train as the entrance was a few hundred meters away. The train entered the tunnel and darkness swept over the windows blanketing the train in darkness. He pulled the lever all the way down making the train come to a complete halt in the Red Umbrella station.
Corin got up hearing the back cars doors open hearing footsteps land on the cement ground. He got out seeing three more trains on different tracks fill the room. "You see, Mr. Bolomor, look at those trains, it won't be so crammed when we leave."
He led the whole group through a set of doors entering into a chamber which was the size of a airplane hanger. A huge metal door that was about the height of a hundred feet stood at the end of the room. Loading materials filled the place along with some extra stasis pods.
Corin looked back and spoke quietly, "You ten come with me, Vlad; stay with the rest of the group."
He ran to the humongous door and pressed a button. A loud mechanical clatter sounded off and the door slides to the side very fast. The group entered and Corin was surprised at the view. Stasis pods lined the whole chamber left to right and had to be three football fields in length. The door behind them closed and the running of footsteps were being heard.
"This way." he said running left, signaling the group to follow. They made it to the end of the room and reeled left hearing gunshots. "Take them out!" he shouted, "I'll be fine on my own!"
An elevator stood about twenty feet away as he began sprinting towards it, passing filled pods were the naked, sexless, giants stood in there asleep. He entered the elevator and the doors closed. He put sunglasses on while listening to the electric hum of the elevator as it made its way to its destination. He began hearing talking and he backed into the side of the lift as the doors opened.
"Go check it out, intruders probably hiding to the side."
He heard footsteps approach and he stayed where he was. A masked, armored soldier walked in. Corin pressed the button to close the door and lunged at him wrapping his arms around his neck .
The soldier began gagging and Corin jerked his arm to the side hearing the crack of the man's neck. Throwing him aside, he opened the doors while bringing the body up for a shield. Gunfire erupted, as rounds dug into the corpse and he threw it forward hitting the small group of soldiers.
"Put your hands up were I can see them!" one of them shouted.
"As you wish." he said bringing both his arms forward, emitting a reign of fire on the group. Two of the soldiers erupted in flames as Corin watched them struggle for help. "Pitiful creatures."
He looked seeing a soldier standing against the wall near the men's bathroom. "W-what are you?!"
Corin picked him up by his neck, holding him high in the air, "I am the alpha of your omega, which means, I am the beginning of your end." He placed his hand a few inches away from the mans face, as the soldier begins to squirm like a worm.
A stream of fire engulfed the man's head, and he began waving his hands around, as the continuous stream burned the flesh right off of his face, melting his skin like plastic, and Corin heard the man's eyes pop, under the excruciating heat. The smell of cooked meat entered his nose and he pulled his hand away, allowing the smoke to clear seeing charred bone and smudged bubbling skin. He threw the body on the ground making the head break apart into a fine black mist.
He walked down the hall and entered a room. Ten scientists were in the room hidden behind tables and cabinets. "If you help me, your lives may be spared."
"What do you want?" said a man standing up, "Is it money?!"
"I want all your tyrants to be programmed to follow my commands and be released, fully dressed." he said, "What version tyrants do you have."
"A-all of them are all the new series injected with the X- Tyrant virus."
"You mean like the one deployed in Scrapeson City?"
"Yes! How did you know?" he said.
Corin walked over to him and held out his hand. "You see this?" he said seeing the scientist back away as a snake-like tentacle slithered out of his sleeve, "I was an experiment by your fucking company, tested on the T-Veronica, I came here for the tyrants. You keep asking more questions, and this thing will be making a trip to your brain. Now get to work."
All the scientist began working, typing away in the computers. A flash of light came from a computer and Corin looked over and started toward a lady. "What was that flash?"
"I needed a picture of you to transmit into the specimens so they know who to obey," she said.
"Oh, you're not going to download a picture, on how their going to dress."
"No, before release computers, are programmed to dress the specimens along with weapons-"
"No guns, give them nothing, I've seen one of these things in action. By the way are there any storage pods on the trains?"
"Yes."
"Good."
"We're done." said the man, "we did what you want now can you leave, you said you would spare our lives."
"Excuse me, but as I recall I said I may spare your lives. There's that may. And I'm not going to spare your lives."
Vlad and the group heard the gunshots die off and the big door opened. Hundreds of giants all stood there, with the rest of the group and Corin leading them, holy shit!
"Surprised, Mr. Bolomor?" Corin said smiling.
Vlad looked at the tyrants and looked at Corin, "Fuck. I mean, uh, fuck."
Corin turned around and faced the tyrants. He snapped his fingers and the humongous army began marching toward the station platform, ignoring the rest of the Dark Heresy.
"To the trains." Corin said.
Everyone entered the platform and the tyrants climbed into the Umbrella trains. Vlad went into the train watching the tyrants standing on separate red circles. As all were in place, red tubes came down over them covering there massing bodies. The group sat in the forward cars as he began walking down the aisle of the thirty five car train, making his way to the cockpit.
Corin was sitting on a bench near the controls with his shades on. "You seem surprised, Mr. Bolomor."
Vlad sat down on the bench as the train accelerated out of the station platform, as silent humming machinery filled his ears; he looked at Corin and began to laugh, "How many people did you have to kill?"
"Everyone I didn't know." Corin answered, "I forgot to thank the people who released the tyrants."
The train sped out of the tunnel and industrial buildings stood on either side of the train, "Do you know how we are going to get three- hundred and twenty tyrants on the Renegade, sir"
Corin took his shades off and smiled, "We'll use helicopters. Isn't there a military base here, in Hilton City?"
"Yes, in the outskirts of this city."
Corin pulled a map out and handed it to him, "Find out if there are any routes this track can go to get there."
Vlad glanced at the map seeing that the track was supposed to split, and that the left track went out of the state, while the right went for the base. "Yes, there are some routes, when the track splits we take the right which will lead us into the base."
Corin got up and pressed a few buttons and the train sped up to an amazing three-hundred. "Okay, you call the railway inspector."
He walked out of the cockpit and Vlad picked up the radio and began speaking into it. "This is Umbrella supply train, we request railway switch to Hilton Military Base, over."
"Track has been switched, this is railway inspectors building, and request has been approved, over and out." Replied the railway control.
The train sped on and the industrial buildings disappeared as the sun began to set. He looked out the window seeing the towering skyscrapers of Hilton City a few miles away from the train. He turned, looking at the cockpit seeing the split in the track. The train slowly turned right and a small military base was out on the horizon and coming in quick.
Corin came back in and sat on the bench were Vlad sat.
"There's the base." he said. He slowed the train down as it entered the station of the base.
A soldier came up to the train, and tapped on the window. He and Corin both got out as the soldier approached them with a rifle in his hands.
"I am Director Pearson, of the Umbrella suppliers and we have new, upgraded equipment for your helicopters." Corin said.
The soldier looked at him and spit out a piece of gum, "What kind of equipment?"
"Mr. Bolomor, if you may."
Vlad raised his weapon and fired at the soldier's forehead. The soldier fell down on the cement as a gaping hole, the size of a quarter, appeared on his forehead. Vlad picked the man's rifle up, "The equipment is an ass- whooper."
"Get to the hangar." Corin said.
Vlad opened the doors and ran off toward the hangar. No signs of life were around, as he edged his way between the weapons hangar and the platform building. The main opening was beyond that and he poked his head around the building.
Army soldiers were all on guard, patrolling the area, at least a hundred. He spotted a watch tower a few meters away from were he stood. A warning shot might alert the soldiers, but his sniper rifle was fitted with a silencer, maybe a warning kill would do. He smirked at the suggestion, and crept through the grassy lot behind the buildings.
He made it to the tower, and began climbing the metal supports, with his gun strapped around his back. A cool breeze blew across his face as he reached the top, and he spotted a guard posted in the tower with a gun mounted into the rail. Vlad stood hung below him, as the guard then turned his back.
"Hey, you!" someone shouted, "What the hell are you doing."
Vlad moved his head left seeing a soldier shouting at him, with his gun drawn. He began sweating, as he tried holding on.
"What the!?"
He looked back seeing ten coated figures run were he just came killing the soldier, they were the tyrants.
Gunfire erupted, as he began climbing seeing the guard begin firing the gun at the group of tyrants, showering them with continuous rounds. Vlad climbed to the top and jumped onto the platform, surprising the guard. He punched his face and grabbed the back of his neck, and slamming it on the metal rail, breaking the man's skull.
Vlad pushed the body to the side and raised the rifle, putting his eye to the scope. Tyrants were all slaughtering the soldiers, ripping them apart and smashing through their bodies, like they were twigs. He concentrated on the other watch towers, seeing the soldier's fire attack from the top.
He zoomed in, locking in with the crosshairs, on a guy with no helmet firing the mounted gun. He pulled the trigger, and the man's head exploded, causing a fountain of blood to gush out of his neck. He moved the rifle left, firing at another soldier blowing his lower leg off, watching the man fall to the ground, screaming in pain.
He began laughing as he crouched behind the rail, placing a cigarette in his mouth, and lighting it. Something caught his attention, and he looked seeing a grenade launcher laying a few feet away from him. "Hmm, M79, you will come in handy." He got up and put his eye to the scope, training the crosshairs, he spotted a soldier aim the gun in his direction. He moved the gun and ducked hearing bullets hit the rail, bouncing off and denting it. The gun fire stopped and he got up and aimed at the man and pulled the trigger back. Half of the soldiers face flew off, making his brain slide smoothly out of the gory opening, as the man twitched and fell off the railing.
He lowered the rifle seeing that they were no more soldiers on the watchtowers and walkways as the tyrants continued their assault. The Dark Heresy had begun taking weapons from the bodies, as he turned around seeing about fifty more soldiers coming their way.
He picked the grenade launcher up and held it forward aiming at the middle of the small group and fired. His arm jerked back as the grenade exploded in the middle of the group, sending body parts flying outward. He loaded the weapon and fired again, blowing the rest of the panicking group up, turning them into a bloody pile, smeared into the ground, like clay.
He turned seeing Corin suddenly come out of nowhere, "We are victorious!"
Vlad put the weapon down and climbed down, as it began to rain. Lightning shot through the sky as he hit the ground, feeling the rain pour like a waterfall.
Corin walked up to him, "Well done, I found a helicopter hanger. Destroy the base." he then said coldly.
Note: It wasn't what I wanted it to turn out, I think it kinda sucked, to me it was to short. Anyway, if you liked it you don't have to agree with me. Just read and review and I'll be glad. Chapter 14 comin sooooooooooooooooooooon, like this weekend maybe. I don't know. L8er
