Chapter Thirty-8: Corin's Ultimate Demise

The train came to a jerky stop, this time above the ground. Tange opened the doors as Erica and Surge put Joey on their shoulders and hauled him out off the train and into the sandy ground.

Tange looked out of the train seeing the power plant a couple hundred meters away, "Pass me Joey's sniper," he ordered, hearing Orchid grab the gun and hand it to him.

He peered through the scope, scanning for any Umbrella troops. He spotted the parking lot which was lined with vehicles; civilian, military, and Umbrella.

"What do you see?" Orchid asked.

"Cars," he answered, "lots of them."

He heard Orchid sigh as she got up and began walking out of the train, "I'll be waiting outside, to see if Joey needs anything else."

Tange looked away from the scope and holstered Joey's gun around his shoulders. Getting up, he began thinking how close they all were to getting out of this hell hole. It wouldn't be over just yet because of the war that just began, but it was a start.

After Scrapeson, he thought it was over. He was wrong, Thanks to Corin. After being impaled, he figured death would be finale for escape. But then he woke up from a coma four months later to realize that it still wasn't over.

Corin was not really the subject at that moment. Taking out Umbrella was the first priority but how was the question. A deal was made and broken just hours later.

That deal cost Caitlyn her life, along with hundreds of other people. All thanks to Umbrella. Now, he was thrown back in action fighting for his life once again. This time it was personnel. The Osiris had to pay, Corin needed to die. And all this revolved back to Umbrella.

Tange was filled with anger now and he growled, punching the wall, denting it in. He took a few deep breaths, clearing his mind to stay focused. There was no time to mourn, they had to get out. Now.

He walked out of the train and was then stopped coming to see dozens of weapons pointed at him. Not only at him, but at everyone else.

They were ambushed. Four Umbrella soldiers had their weapons directed to Tange's head. As for the rest of his group, who were on their knees, had two soldiers guarding each of them. "I guess I'm the bigger threat?" He said, looking around, seeing six transport choppers parked around everyone.

"Try anything funny," someone familiar said, "and they all die."

He didn't have to look at the person who was talking, "Osiris." He stated coldly.

"Drop your weapons." Osiris ordered, "And then we shall see where this all goes."

Tange dropped the .44 and two of the soldiers surrounding him emptied his vest and took Joey's sniper from him. They emptied all the clips and chambers before throwing them to the ground.

Osiris stepped closer to Tange, revealing himself in the moonlight and exhaled sharply, "It's a beautiful day," he stated, "for war."

He smirked, "Hated by all now, and still want to stay in business? How many more lives do you have to take away?"

Tange watched Osiris laugh loudly, "You really think this is all about business now? I want the world. It doesn't matter how many more people I have to kill to get what I want."

Orchid laughed, "So did the last few assholes who wanted the world. You know were they are now? Six feet under."

"You were such a good employer when you were working for me," Osiris said turning away from Tange. "I had trusted you."

"Keep your dick in your pants," Orchid shot back, "You gave me shit the whole time."

He approached her, "So feisty!" He then drew his hand back-

Smack! That was the sound of Osiris' palm connected with Orchid's cheek. He then laughed to himself and turned back towards Tange, "So, what am I going to do with you, let's see."

"Let me go so I can beat the shit out of you for all you've done to me!" Tange offered.

Ignoring his statement he looked at Erica and Joey, "Father and daughter, how sweet."

"Kiss my ass!" Joey said spitting at Osiris' feet.

"I sense rebellion from the people." Osiris joked as he kicked Joey in the stomach, sending him to the ground, "And one that is infected, I might add."

"If you do that again," Tange started, "I'll-"

"You'll do what?" Osiris said with a gleaming smile, "Kill me? I find it hard to believe. You're just a poor man with nothing. And yet you still want to change everything."

"If you die, this will be a short war. Everything and every employer will fall if you do."

Osiris laughed at the statement, "Take them away, leave Roland."

Everyone was boarded into one chopper, except Joey who was loaded into a separate chopper. With the blades beginning to rotate, kicking up sand, Osiris spoke to Tange.

"You really think that! I've already prepared for that if I fall! No one will stop me! Not you! No one! The United States of America will fall to their knees for me. And, soon the world!" Osiris than laughed loudly over the beating of the blades as the choppers departed away.

Tange couldn't believe this asshole, "If I don't kill you, Corin will." He stated coldly.

"He will be dead, along with you!" Osiris growled, "My tyrant, Ghost will take care of him. And so will you!"

He started searching for the right words to say, to see if he could stop Osiris from this madness, make him stop without violence, to see if it will work. Tange started, "The people once looked up to you as a corporation!"

"And they still do. And they will! They'll have to!"

Tange looked at the sky and smiled seeing two airplanes coming in their direction, "Not after what you've done. What about Raccoon City! You were shut down after that. And the people gave you a second chance."

"The United States did, because they needed my help. Don't you see how everything runs today? Money! Power! It's all you need to gain one's trust!"

"And for your actions, look what you've done now! Look at Scrapeson! Look at this place! "

Osiris looked him dead in the eye, "I don't care. Once Umbrella wins the war, the corporation will be the only business left. People will have to rely on it to survive. Soon the whole world will. We will be a monopoly making everything." He then snapped his fingers.

As if on cue, something very familiar stepped out. It was the female tyrant, now armed with weapons.

Tange looked up again and saw the planes fly past the power plant and release the bombs. "Hey, Osiris!" He saw Osiris look at him and then at the plant, "See you in hell!"

The bombs hit and-

Da-da-KaBoom! The plant exploded into a huge ball of fire. The exhaust towers crumbled and collapsed onto each other. The buildings slowly crumbled to the ground. To Tange, not only was it one step closer to freedom, he felt like hugging Cypher.

Everyone looked at the explosion and Tange smiled. He grabbed the barrels of the guns from the soldiers from the right and left of him and snatched the weapons out of their hands.

Before reacting to the steal, Tange drove the barrels into their necks and tapped the trigger. Both soldiers fell to the ground instantly dead. The other two guards tried to do something both failing.

Tange grabbed the neck of one guard, took his knife from his vest and stabbed him in the stomach. He could then hear him scream behind the mask before he quickly let go of his neck and rolled between his legs, and stood up behind him and was missed by the other guard who decided to draw his knife and swing.

It was a little too late to hit Tange in the back, for the other guard accidentally stabbed his knife into the guard's chest. Now dead, the guard fell back and Tange quickly caught him in his arms, pulled the second knife out of his chest and took a step to the side as the second guard lunged at him.

Tange put the knife in the way of the guard's neck and felt the weight of the guard as he accidentally placed his neck onto the knife. Tange let go of the knife and armed himself with dual MP5Ks and aimed them at Osiris who was running towards his chopper.

Die, motherfucker! This is for Caitlyn you Umbrella prick! He pulled the trigger only to find Ghost get in between him and Osiris. The bullets ricocheted off her suit as the chopper lifted into the air and flew off.

The duals went dry and he dropped them and looked at Ghost who was armed with a rocket launcher and a gattling gun, similar to what he was packing at the building.

She fired a rocket and Tange took a step out of the way and bolted towards the female tyrant, "I hate tyrants!" He shouted as he tackled into her.

For reaction, she only took a step back to stop herself from falling. Tange delivered two punches to her face not caring how much the metal hurt his hands. Right now, he was pissed!

Ghost had dropped her one chambered rocket launcher and swung at him. Tange ducked, feeling the wind whiz past him before getting to his feet. He jumped up and slammed his foot into her chest followed by his other to her masked face.

She fell a few more steps back and growled and dropped the gattling gun and leapt at him. Tange ducked for her to fly over him but was mistaken as she delivered her knee to his chest.

"Oh!" He grunted falling on his back. Staring down at him was Ghost who put her hand out and flexed. Tange felt his stomach drop as he saw a set of claws come out the tips of her fingers, "Shit, bitch! What else do you have? Surprise me!"

She put out her other hand and did the same thing. Ghost then growled and lifted her foot and attempted to smash Tange's face open.

He rolled out of the way, hearing her boot meet with the ground creating a thudding noise. He looked up as she brought one of her clawed hands down to his chest. Tange rolled out of the way again and heard her come closer as she took her hand out of the ground, flinging dirt all over the place.

Lying on his back, he side kicked her in the shoulder and got to his feet. Ghost then darted forward, hand in front and swung at his neck.

He arched back and was tripped to the ground as she sneakily swung her feet under his.

Tange fell on his back and she slammed her foot onto his chest, rendering him to unable to get up. He began pounding at her feet trying desperately to free himself.

Ghost looked down at him and brought both her clawed hands back and sent them forward as she arched her body forward. I'm dead. That was the only thought going through Tange's mind as the claws came closer to his neck.

Nearly inches from death-

Boom! An object flew into Ghost, disrupting her progress. Not only that but it freed Tange. Whatever hit her, he was grateful for it as he jumped to his feet to find his savior to be much worse.

Tange wouldn't call it a savior, not even close. Out of all things to come and save him, he wasn't expecting him; Corin.

"You!" Tange shouted at him.

Corin snarled at the statement, "Surprised!" he replied sarcastically.

Ghost then got to her feet, joining the both of them. They all made eye contact with each other, all shocked at the situation. Except Ghost, who had no feelings whatsoever.

"You!" Corin secondly stated at Ghost, "Again!"

Tange sighed sharply, "So, it's after both of us?"

Corin looked at him coldly, "You and her want me."

"As well as you and her want me," Tange stated back, "which is now very confusing. Damn."

Corin quickly decided who to attack. It was all too easy. He ran to Tange and launched a fist at his face. Tange quickly caught it and firmly held Corin's hand.

He pulled his fist away, feeling the deadening jerking stop as Tange still clutched it. "Think fast!" Tange commented and pulled him forward towards him. That was when Corin knew what was going down.

Corin quickly kneed Tange and kicked off his chest, which got him to release his hand. A set of claws then came down through the void between them as Corin got to his feet. He smiled at the trick Tange attempted to pull on him-

but ducked as Ghost swung at his face. He quickly got up and grabbed her by the neck and threw her aside.

He was then tackled to the ground as Tange ran into him. Corin saw Tange quickly get up and watched as he raised his foot and drop it towards his face. Corin grabbed his boot by one hand and pushed Tange's foot back up.

Tange fell to the ground as Corin jumped up and watched as he cart wheeled backwards onto his feet.

Suddenly, Tange took off running towards the blazing inferno of the decimated power plant.

Rah! He turned around to see Ghost armed with a gattling gun. Corin did the same and ran away from the direction of the weapon as Ghost sent a wave of burning metal.

Tange made it too the parking lot after escaping the fight, very eager to get a functional car so he could make it to the Umbrella Headquarters.

"Come on!" he shouted passing damaged cars that were either, burning, flipped over, or wrecked. In that case some were everything all around. He rounded to the next row of cars finding some in good shape cars, trucks, and vans.

He began scoping all the cars out, checking the interiors to find a key in the ignition. I wish I could hot-wire, damn it! He ran to the end of the row and into the next column of cars and found a white van with the engine running. And best of all, the doors were open.

Approaching the van, no one was seated inside. Tange climbed aboard and spotted a note in the passenger's seat. He closed the door and locked it and picked the note up and began reading.

So you found the van I prepared for you! Look in the back; I'm sure you'll be surprised. Good luck getting everyone else from the headquarters. We'll be waiting for your arrival.

-Cypher

"Thank you." Tange said as he looked in the back, turning the light on. Set on the seat behind him were an arsenal of weapons. There were two Desert Eagles with clips of ammo, a double-barreled shotgun, and a bomb strapped to the seat with a detonator next to it.

He smiled and set the van in gear and drove off into the desert.

Corin began closing the distance between him and Ghost as he circled around her, one step ahead of the flying bullets. As he ran he began feeling weird. Tired, it was the first time in a long time. It felt almost new to him.

Ghosts firing then stopped and Corin changed directions and charged towards Ghost. He stopped in front of her and punched her. But she was a little smarter now. She kicked his hand out of the way and quickly ran forward clotheslined him to the ground.

She let him get up as he swung his feet under her only to find her step back away from his attack.

"What?" He said as for everything he gave her, punches and kicks, he would always miss and she would counter it and get him instead.

He quickly flung his hand forward and a stream of fire shot out. Ghost quickly knocked his hand out of her way. Flames then came between them, blinding Corin from her. As the flames disappeared, a set of hands came through a wall of smoke and slammed into his chest.

Corin flew back in the air and before he hit the ground, Ghost ran up and uppercut him in the chin which sent him up even higher. He land on his back, now filled with rage.

Jumping to his feet again, he gave it all he got. She sent a punched and he caught it and smiled only to find her pull back while his hand still grasped hers. Being pulled forward, Corin kneed her in the chest and released her arm and sent a punch to her.

Ghost repeated what he did as she grabbed it but then pushed forward with her hand which caused his fist to come back into his face. He fell back but she still held his arm and pulled him back up. She was improvising on what he did.

She then kicked him in the chest twice, used her other hand and completely wailed on him. It took a while for Corin to come back to his senses and he growled loudly and swung his free hand into the side of her face as hard as he could.

Ghost then let go of him as electrical sparks shot out mask she was wearing. She began stumbling backwards which gave Corin the opportune moment. He ran towards her attempting to clothesline her as she did to him when-

her talons shot out from her fingers and she dove forward and ran into Corin and quickly stepped aside. Corin felt a pain now in his chest, along with a bone breaking noise.

He looked at her and saw her hand drenched in blood as she held something. It was his heart which was pulsing slowly in her hand. Corin looked down to see a hole in his chest as he began feeling pain again; which he wished he didn't right now.

It put mere shock on his face, she couldn't be stronger then him. She was just a tyrant. "No!" he shouted, "This can't be right!"

He began feeling lightheaded as he took a step towards her when she pulled her damaged mask off to reveal a beautiful woman. One he knew. "It can't be! You're supposed to be dead!" he shouted again, this time with blood flying from his mouth. "I saw you die in his hands!"

Suddenly on Ghost pale face, a smile formed as she dropped his heart onto the sandy ground and advanced towards him. Talons shot out of her other hand as Corin attempted to punch her.

He then felt more pain as she swung her clawed hand and cleanly chopped his hand in five pieces. She then grabbed him by the neck and-

Ghost dropped the pulsing object which was identified as a heart and let a second set of talons come out her other hand as she ran towards Pearson.

He tried hitting her. She sliced off his hand in many pieces. She then grabbed him by the neck and ripped her claws into it and grasped his spinal cord and pulled up.

Pearson's head was ripped off his shoulders as his whole spine came with his, sliding out smoothly.

She held the spine as she watched the body fall like a noodle onto the ground. Ghost then looked at the head of her eliminated target and threw it on the ground with such force that it shattered.

Her first objective was complete. Next was Roland.

Note: Well, that's that. Corin's now dead. I was going to have Tange fight Corin, but that was too predictable on who would win. Just two more chapter I think till I get to start the sequel. Aight, well I'm going to get ready for work. It's payday. Ya! Hope you liked the chapter. I'm out.
