Chapter Thirty-3: Slicing Down the Force

Tange was beneath the road lying in debris after something came into contact with the back have of the monorail compartment. Getting up to his feet he looked above him and saw a thirty feet dug hole leading up to the street. "That's impossible," He said.

The hole was cleanly rounded, as if it was dug through by a digger. Looking back down to where he was he saw a metal stasis chamber crumpled in the corner of the room, toppled with pieces of asphalt and dirt. The automated doors were torn open like a knife to paper.

He holstered the .44 and began directing it through random parts around the room. Whatever was in there is now out and about, probably in the same room he was in. With Umbrella tampering with his body, his eye sight became more accurate in the dark.

He walked to the chamber and peered inside looking at nothing but emptiness. But, there was one word labeling the chamber; Ghost.

Tange looked away from it and turned around and spotted a rusty door in front of him and opened it and came into a darkened hallway.

There was a mine cart lying on its side. The ground revealed a path of mining tracks that stretched hundreds of feet ahead before winding left. Tange followed the tracks before it turn to two paths. The tracks leading left, and straight ahead was another rusted door. Tange went to the door before stopping and looked at the ground seeing a splintered wooden sign. There were words across it which read: Raccoon City Mines.

"What-" He questioned. The place he was standing in was probably never discovered and survived the nuclear blast about twelve years ago. He smiled a little before going through the door.

A rusted ladder with a skeleton clinging to it stood in front of. Tange climbed it and came to a blockage above him. He pushed on it with one hand while the other clung to the ladder and felt it shift upward. He pushed again and heard an unlocking noise and the lid above him lifted open. Bright light came through as he got out of the mines and onto the cold metal ground.

Just then, the sound of fifty guns clicking and adjusting entered his ears. Tange looked at the source finding about ten cops pointing their weapons at him. "Not Umbrella." He then said as they put their weapons down.

One of them came up to him, "My name's Chief Jean Mac of the Arclay Police Department," He then held out his hand.

Tange grabbed his hand and shook it smiling a little, "Tange Roland."

"What did you mean 'not Umbrella'?" He said.

"They're responsible for what's going on right now. Trust me."

Chief Mac smiled slightly putting his gun in his holster, "We pretty much figured that out. After what everyone heard about the viral outbreak in Raccoon City being Umbrella's fault, they were done. That's until 2004 when they suddenly emerged once again. And then Scrapeson. And now this."

"Shit, happens." He commented, remembering the extreme horror from Scrapeson, "Where ya'll headed?"

"There's a station not far from here, it leads to directly to the Surveillance Building."

Tange looked at him in curiosity, "What for?"

"We got a call." One of the cops answered.

Mac took over, "The caller said that to escape the city we would have to destroy it along with the power plant, and Umbrella HQ. He said a group of people were doing the same thing and would need our help."

Raaaaaaah! Behind the cops something roared. From were Tange stood it had to be Ghost. The last cop trailing behind the ground was the first to open fire. Rounds began bouncing off whatever Ghost wore, not stunning it or damaging it by the looks of it. Ghost's face was concealed in a metallic mask. He knew that standing and firing away was not a good idea and they should all just run.

"We have to get out of here." Tange told Mac, "Tell your men to fall back!"

"Ahh!"

Tange looked at the trailing cop as Ghost punched him, sending out the crushing of his ribs. Just then Ghost flinched one of its hands-

Sling! Five thin long talons flung out the ends of Ghost fingers. Everyone watched as Ghost tripped the injured soldier. Mid air and about to land on his back, Ghost performed a tossing movement with the armed hands and cut him in half from his back and out his stomach.

His body spun slightly as intestines and matter gushed out in an infinite stream before landing out the ground in two pieces.

This all took a matter of two seconds, everyone in the corridor opened fired on the metallic beast as it advanced toward them slowly.

"Tell your men to fall back!" He shouted.

It looked like Mac was in a trance of shock when Tange shouted at him, "fall back! Retreat!"

Tange drew the .44 and concentrated his aim on Ghost was advancing towards a control device and fired. Ghost didn't stir as it slashed the control panel-

-a huge door then came down and closed between Tange and Mac, cutting both of them off from the rest of the cops. Before Mac could say anything Tange shook his shoulder, "Come on! Where's the station?!"

"This way! Follow me!"

Ghost smashed the controls and watched a huge door drop down, trapping her prey. Gunfire bounced off her strong armor as she advanced towards them...her prey.

They all stood in their place firing at her. Haven't they learned that it doesn't work. She approached the first man as he hit her with the butt of his gun. No effect. She grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him into the ceiling.

His feet was in the way now, Ghost swung her claws and chopped them off, instantly causing the prey to scream out in pain. He dropped from the ceiling and before he hit the ground, she disemboweled him. Blood sprayed across her mask and suit.

They were backing away now. Underneath her mask she smiled. Ghost darted forward and drove her claws through the face of another and lifted him in the air, watching him struggle, hearing him choke on his own blood.

She threw him forward, tackling down the rest and leapt forward quickly and roared.

As the thrown man hit the rest, Ghost shot forward and swung her claws again swiftly and sliced them in half and watched their upper bodies slide off. They were flawless. Obsolete compared to her.

Now there were two left. She ran forward and drove her claws into the chest of one and slammed him against the wall repeatedly, watching the blood squirt out of his sides and paint the walls. He was dead now.

She dropped him and ran for the last one and upper cutted him in half. None of them were Tange Roland. Nor Corin Pearson. They were probably behind the door.

Ghost came to the door and began pounding her fists into it.

They had reached the station, a one car train was parked there as if waiting for them to come. It wasn't much of a train, it was more of a platform on wheels loaded with gasoline tanks. Mac climbed aboard the train as Tange went to the station controls and hit a few buttons. A moment later the platform lit up and the humming of the train's engines began growing louder.

"Damn it!" Mac shouted setting his MP5K against the train.

"What?" Tange said, "That thing is not going to come for a while, it'll be too busy taking down the doors."

Mac nodded his head, "It's not that. There are three gates up ahead and won't open without a card."

"So what do we do?"

Boom! They didn't have much time.

"I've been down here before, there's a manual unlocking system at each gate. We'll have to go slow."

"Why don't we just drive the train through it."

Mac looked at him funny, "Because the gates are thirty feet thick of steel."

Boom! Boom! Screech!

Without saying anything, they both hopped onto the moving platform. Mac got it moving and Tange stood on the back with the .44 drawn. Waiting for it to come. About thirty seconds of traveling Tange saw Ghost. It turned to look at him and immediately jumped down on the tracks and began running towards them.

"How far to the gate?!" Tange shouted, "It's gaining on us."

"Controls say a thousand meters."

Enough time. Tange rolled one of the barrels of gasoline off onto the tracks and took Mac's MP5K and aimed at the barrel. He saw the gas begin pouring out of the barrel and Ghost's feet splashed into it-

-Tange fired at the barrel and Ghost disappeared in a wall of fire.

The train then began coming to a slow as Tange rolled another barrel off. He turned around and felt the train come to a complete halt and looked at the huge gate with the Umbrella logo carved into it. Mac jumped out onto the ground and approached a set of levers and pulled them down. A beeping noise erupted and he ran to the other side of the tunnel and did the same thing. Another beeping noise was sounded and the buckling of gears was heard the gate smoothly slid open.

Mac got back on board and started the train again and passed through the gate and began speeding up.

Raaah! Tange turned around finding Ghost running at them again and he fired at the barrel again and yet again Ghost disappeared. But not for long.

Ghost appeared again going through the flames as Tange rolled another barrel off, and then another. They rolled towards Ghost and he fired again with the MP5K and the whole tunnel lit up in blazing fury.

The train came to a stop and Tange counted the barrels, four left, still enough. Mac was now going on with the controls. Two beeping noises were heard and the gates slid open. But still no Ghost.

Umbrella's B.O.W. has failed? He didn't think so.

"Is it gone?!" Mac screamed, "I don't hear any shooting."

"I don't know!" Tange screamed back, "I hope it is. But this is Umbrella's work so you never know."

The train came to a stop again and Mac jumped off the train and looked at Tange, "Hand me my gun, this last gate will open up and there will be an elevator that leads up."

Tange threw him his gun as Mac messed with the gate controls. He began throwing some more barrels down and kicked them to a starting roll. All four of them and watch them come to a stop about fifty meters from them. And what good timing.

Ghost was now sprinting towards them and Tange fired the .44 at one of the barrels and the tunnel once again ignited concealing Ghost in a blanket of fire. And thrust her forward.

"Aw! Shit!" He screamed as Ghost landed a mere ten feet away as the gates began opening. Ghost began getting up and Tange kicked it in the face, grounding it for now and turned around and ran for Mac who was past the gate and standing at an elevator.

"I've called for the elevator. It's going to take a while."

It always takes a while, what the hell?!

"Tange watch out!"

He turned around and jumped out of the way as Ghost leaped for him, nearly missing him.

Mac was now closer to Ghost then to Tange but, Ghost advanced for Tange. He brought up the magnum and fired at Ghost's head. No effect. He tried the kneecaps and elbows. Hell no. Ghost was just wrapped in armor.

Tange put the .44 in his holster and swung at Ghost. It blocked his arm with it's arm and swung at him. Tange rebuffed it and jumped forward kicking it in the chest.

Ghost stumbled back a few steps, "Mac, how much more time?!" He shouted before blocking an attack from Ghost as it swung it's talons at his torso.

"It's halfway there!"

Tange swung his foot at Ghost's face-

-Ghost caught it and threw him up into the air. He flipped in the air a couple of times and landed with a crouch and looked up and somersaulted backwards as Ghost dived it's talons into the ground digging them deep before taking them out.

This bastard was tough. There has to be a weakness. Tange performed a punch and Ghost caught it and he used twisted it out of Ghost grasp and slammed his fist into Ghost's mask.

Ping Was the sound when his fist came into connecting with Ghost's helmet. Tange hand suddenly hurt like a bitch. Ghost high-kicked him but Tange was faster this time and pushed the back of Ghost's heel to its head flipping it backwards in midair and kicked Ghost in the chest.

Before Ghost could land on the ground Tange dived on top of Ghost and drove his fists into his back. Ghost slammed into the ground with a crunch and Tange jumped off.

"Tange!"

He turned to Mac and caught a black stick in his hands. It was a baton with a taser mounted on the end. Tange pressed the switch on it and a blue electric spark emitted from it. Ghost got up and Tange drove it into Ghost.

Ghost fried by the electricity coursing through its metal armor and skin. Smoke began emitting from it and Ghost collapsed to the ground twitching.

Ding! The elevator had arrived and Mac hopped in. Tange came next a few seconds later and the doors closed and the elevator made a destination for the Surveillance Building.
