Resident Z 2: Search for a cure!

Finally Trunks had moved enough of the helicopter to enter the hole it left. It was another corridor with an expensive looking door at the other end. He walked through the door then gasped as he was met by a stuffed tiger on the other side.

He made his way to the right and followed the rest of the corridor down until he came to another door. Upon opening it he found himself in a room full of stuffed animals and what looked like an office. As he approached a desk with a large chair behind it facing the wall he saw a woman laid out across the table.

"What the?"

He went to touch her head when the chair span round showing a rather large man holding a gun out at Trunks' head.

"Stay back!"

"What's going on around here? And who are you?"

Trunks stepped back and shouted in anger.

"You tell me!" He lowered the gun. "All of a sudden everyone started trying to eat each other! It's all gone mad!"

"I noticed that …you do point the obvious things out don't you. Now answer my second question! Who are you?"

"I am the chief of police. And who might you be boy!"

"My name is Trunks, I'm just browsing the station with my friend Goku."

"Browsing?" The chief examined Trunks then noticed his shoulder and held out his gun once more. "You've been bitten!"

Trunks looked down.

"Yes"

"How long ago?"

"About 15 minutes."

"Hmmm, around the same time as her." He put the gun down and looked at the woman on his desk. "She the mayor's daughter, I was meant to protect her, but she's been bitten. From what I gather it take 30 - 45 minutes for a person to change. It all depends on how much they have been bitten"

"Great..."

Trunks held his shoulder.

"Now please, if you don't mind I would like to only have to deal with one of those creatures when the time comes."

"Very well." Trunks was not in the mood to argue. "Where should I go?"

"In there" He pointed to the door on the left. "Through there is just a store room with my collection of trophies and such. Do as you please in there just don't come back in here!"

Trunks made his way to the door and went through. It was pitch black and he could hear footsteps. He moved his hands around the walls and came to a switch. As soon as he flicked it, a little girl ran past him. Luckily he was able to get her in the crossing.

"LET GO!" She screamed.

"Wait! I'm not going to hurt you!" She stopped pulling and hugged him. "What's your name?"

"Sherry"

"That's a nice name. I'm Trunks"

"Trunks?"

"Yeah"

A loud cry cam from above them then a scream was heard.

"Oh no!" Sherry pulled away from Trunks.

"What was that?"

"I don't know but it's after me!" She ran past Trunks who missed this time to get her.

"Sherry wait!"

He ran after her and found himself going back into the chief's room. He was gone, and so was the woman.

"I don't understand any of this! Chief?"

He walked over to the chair and looked around the desk, Sherry was under it.

"Come on Sherry, the thing that's after you won't get you as easily if you stay with me."

"Will you protect me?"

"Yeah, I promise."

Sherry came out and held Trunks' hand. They went out of the office and through the gap next to the helicopter.

"Let's rest here for a while, then I can take you to where my friend is"

"Ok". They sat down next to the wreck.

Goku, being the impatient type, stood up and went to the door and went back out into the main hall. He was met by the man in the raincoat.

"JESUS!"

He jumped out of his skin almost and then tried to hobble away, but the man pursued, he was twice Goku's size and didn't seem too happy. He grabbed Goku by the neck and threw him at the wall forcing him to almost crash through it. As he struggled to get up he could see him coming towards him once more.

"DADDY!"

Goten leapt off the upper balcony and landed on the man's head. However didn't stay there for long as he was hurled off and at the computer in the centre of the hall, he crashed into it and caused a small explosion which knocked him unconscious.

"Goten!"

Goku stood up finally and clenched his fists, however the wounds he had sustained limited his potential...(wow big words, go me!). Luckily the man was slow and gave Goku time to get prepared, suddenly gunshots came from the opposite side of the hallway. Rotory stood there with a shotgun continuously firing at the giant, which of course attracted his attention.

"!" Rotory cursed and carried on firing, this however did not even stun him as he advanced towards him.

The man grabbed Rotory's head and cracked it with his palms. Rotory gave off a small scream then did not even stir. The man dropped him to the ground with a thud, then turned to Goku once more.

Goku by this time had made it halfway up the ladder that Mika had dropped down earlier, he did not choose the door he came from as that might lead the giant to where Mika was headed.

The man grabbed his leg and tried to yank him down, but Goku clung on with all the strength he had left, and just as he was about to let go, something grabbed his arms and pulled upwards.

Goku felt like he was going to snap in two. He looked down at the giant, and then looked up at what was holding him, the hand had a look of decay on it and as he looked further up he saw a sight that he never thought he would recently be happy to see.

"Vegeta?" He shouted.

And with this one word spoken, Vegeta let go of Goku's arm and leapt down on top of the man. Goku crawled to the side and looked on. The man kicked Vegeta off and then stood up. Vegeta then once again got to his feet and they stood opposite each other, staring as if they were about charge.

Goku looked on and then smiled. But before he knew it, he was overwhelmed and passed out from the melee.
