A/N Thanks for the reviews. I was worried that people wouldn't have liked that chapter. To Darklight, sorry but Faith isn't going to get a Watcher. It's only because I have other plans for her. Also someone will let it slip that Faith will become the Slayer after Kendra. Just sit back and watch how that turns out.

Also this chapter is sort of a combination of Resident Evil 2 the video game and Resident Evil the first movie. I hope you guys enjoy part one of this chapter.

Chapter 20

Resident Evil Pt 1

Raccoon City, Day's later

Twilight had settled across the mountain's, painting the jagged horizon in shades of purple dusk. The shadowed hills towered into the cloudless sky, strecthing toward the first faint glimmerings of starlight.

Tara's convertible cruises down a street lined with abandoned cars and trucks. No drivers, no passengers, no pedestrians are in sight.

"Who the Fuck calls their town Raccoon city?" Faith asked as they drove through the outskirts of the city.

"I'm with you on that one." Xander said as he looked over at her. "Who the hell names a place after an animal?"

"It's pronounced Rack-on city, not Raccoon." Tara corrects them with a small laugh that quickly dies as she see's a woman laying face first on the road. Screeching the car to a halt about twenty feet from the body, Tara and Amy get out to investigate.

"She's cold." Amy announced as she reached down to see if the woman had a pulse. "Who the hell could have done something like this?"

Something smelled bad. In fact something smelled like shit.As Tara thought this, all of them hear a soft moan. Looking up they see some people shuffling out of neighboring alleys. Tara was relieved to see more people. Ever since arriving in the city they hadn't seen any form of human life.

It was four people staggering towards them, as if they were drunk. But something was wrong. One of them had blood all over his shirt and hands. And dripping out of his mouth was a thick foam of blood, that came out of his pasty rotting face. On further expection, Tara could see that the people weren't alive at all. They were zombies.

Before she could issue a warning to the others Amy let out a blood curdling scream. Looking back Tara saw that the woman that they thought was dead grabbed Amy's leg and tried to take a bite out of it. Stomping down with all of her might, Tara crushed the zombies head. The sickening crunch of the bone sounded off throughout the night.

Seeing that Amy was okay, Tara looked over and saw that her friends were already fighting off against the zombies. Xander must have managed to get to the trunk because he was wielding a battle axe.

Seeing that a zombie was coming up behind Faith, as she was busy punching another zombie in the face, Tara took out a small dagger and threw it. The dagger embedded itself in the zombies forehead and with a final wail it feel to the ground and died. Xander had barely managed to decapitate his zombie, and Kendra visciously snapped the neck of the one she was fighting.

"What the fuck is going on in this place?" Faith asked as she and the others ran up to Tara.

"I don't know but let's get the hell out of here." she said as she turned back to the car.

Then they hear it. It's a sharp clicking sound. Nails on a cement floor. In the shadows, a dark shape moves. Then a low demonic growl permeates the air.

A Doberman suddenly advances into a shaft of light, from a overhead street lamp. But this is like no dog they've ever seen before. Its eyes are glazed. Its flesh decaying. Before they can go back to the car, the Doberman jumps on top of it.

As his wail of the damned sounds off again, five set's of glowing red eyes appear from the shadows. The extended Scooby gang then notice that they are slowly being surrounded by more dogs.

"Tara." Amy says.

"Run!" Tara shouts as the gang take off. The zombie dogs are in hot pursuit.

"There." Tara says as she points at the nearest building. It's a gunshop. As they make it to the building they all sigh with relief as they find it unlocked. As they all shuffle inside they close the doors.Moments later they heard pounding and almost instantly the door began to rattle on its hinges. They knew that they didn't have much time.

"Kendra, Xander help me move this bookshelf." Tara said as she moved closer to the tall, oak piece of furniture. As they move it in front of the door, Tara let's out a sigh of relief as their makeshift barrier holds.

"The door is locked solid, dare's no way dey can get in." Kendra informs them.

Faith smiles at this news and turns away, smack into another of the undead. It's the owner of the gun shop. Or what's left of him.

The undead owner lunges for her, but Faith is lightning fast, as though someone else had taken possession of her body. She weaves through his arm, lifts the sidearm from his holster and drills a bullet through his forehead.

The owner just looks up at her and then falls bonelessly to the floor.

(Angel did you see that?) Tara asked.

(Yeah, yeah I did.) he replied back.

(She moved so fast I could barely keep up with her movements. Do you think she's a Slayer?)

(No. Kendra didn't die so she doesn't have any powers. It was just her adrenaline pumping, that's all.)

Faith still stood there pointing her gun down at the dead gunshop owner.

"Was that a vampire?" Faith asked as Tara came closer and took the gun out of her trembling hand.

"No, that was a zombie." Tara replied as she looked over at Johnathon.

"Johnathon, you and Xander do a search of this place and see if you can come up with some more weapons." When she said this they moved into action.

After ten minutes of searching the pair turn up with three nine millimeters, with two clips for each, and a twelve gauge shotgun with twenty shells for it. Along with the battle axe, Xander had also managed to get two fighting daggers from the car as well.

"Okay me and Kendra are the most experienced fighters." Tara called out. "So we'll take the melee weapons." she said as she handed Kendra the battle axe, while she took the two fighting daggers.

"Xander since you have better upper body strength you take the shotgun. Everybody else grab a glock. Johnathon..." she said looking over at him. "Do you still remember anything from your night as soldier boy?"

"I...I remember everything." he said nervously.

"Alright if anybody doesn't know how to use a gun then get with soldier boy." she said as Faith pulled her to the side.

"Tara what the hell is going on here?" Faith asked. "Do you think the whole city is fucked up like this?"

"I don't know." Tara replied honestly. "Shouldn't you be practicing with Johnathon." as if to prove that she could handle a gun, Faith pulled the slide back on her weapon and the room echoed with it's audible click.

Before Tara could do more then smile they heard a loud bang at the big display window. They look up to see three zombies pressed against the glass of the display window. Their disintegrating and bloody faces smear the glass.

They clawed mindlessly at the window, their ashy, ravaged faces, spoke of the horrors of their deaths. And from across the street, dark shapes could be seen shambling out into the open.

"We've got to get out of here." Tara said as she backed away from the window.

"And go where?" Amy asked. "The moment we step out of here those things will eat us alive."

"The police station." Johnathon spoke up, making everyone look at him. "It's standard protocol for police stations to act as shelters in case of an outbreak ."

"Yeah but how are we going to get there?" Xander asked. "We don't know anything about this city."

"We know how to get there because I found a map of the city when we were searching for weapons."

"Alright." Tara said as she twirled her daggers around her fingers. "We head out the back and get out of here. Everyone stay close to each other."

With that said the pounding on the glass became louder and stronger. Almost as if the zombies could sense that their meals were going to escape.

"Okay everybody let's go." Tara said as she led the way to the back door.

It took the group more then twenty minutes to reach the police station. The city was like a virtual maze. They had to make a few detours however, because of the damaged parts of the city. They had to go through an infested basketball court, another alley, and a parked bus that had reeked from the sprawled corpses inside.

And the constant stopping to catch their breath didn't help either. With another boom from Xander's shotgun, Tara finally get's the entrance door to the police station open.

Only to see the barrel of a gun leveled at her face. Tara then looks up at the person holding the gun. Smart blue uniform, short brown hair, fresh faced. Not what she was expecting.

"I'm sorry." the officer says as he lowers his gun. "I thought you were some more of those freaks. Now come on and get inside." he said as he moved away from the door. The Scooby gang then walk in and close the heavy entrance door.

"You're a little young for a policeman aren't you?" Xander asked as he took a good look at him.

"I get that alot." the officer says as he holsters his gun.

They then look at the vast police station lobby they are in. There are three floors of classically styled architecture in oak and marble. There was a stone statue of a woman carrying a water pitcher in the lower part of the large room, a ramp on either side leading up to the receptionist's station.

The RPD seal set into the floor in front of the statue gleamed softly in the dim light from the wall lamps, as if it had just been polished. This room is a vast contrast to the devastation the rest of the city had suffered.

"So do you know what's going on, officer..." Tara said trying to read the man's badge.

"My name's Leon. Officer Leon S. Kennedy." the man said as he looked at them all in turn. "And believe it or not this is my first day on the job."

"Well I'm Tara. This is Amy, Kendra, Johnathon, Xander, and Faith." she said pointing to her friends as she called out their names. "Now what the hell happened to the city?"

"I don't know much." Leon said to her. "All I know is that this company called Umbrella is responsible for what happened. And from the letters I found,..." he said as he digged into the the backpack he was carrying. "the police chief Brian Irons was a co-conspirator."

"Forget about all that." Faith said to the rookie cop. "How the fuck are we going to get out of here?"

"Well I think I've found away out. According to the map I found there's a sewer exit that leads to the outskirts of the city. But there's a truck blocking my way through a certain door. If I could move the truck it should be smooth sailing from there.

Suddenly his walkie talkie blared with static. Taking it from his belt clip he began to talk into it.

"Claire is that you?" he asked. Then it blared with static again, until a woman's voice spoke into it.

"Yeah Leon it's me." Claire answered. "Listen I've found a survivor. It's a little girl."

"That's great." Leon said back to her. "I found some survivors too. Well they found me." he corrected himself. "Now where's your location?"

"I'm down in Sub- basement C and ...Oh my God!" Claire suddenly blared out.

"Claire what is it!" Leon yelled back.

"Sherry get behind me."

"Rrraaaahhhh!" something inhuman growled in the background, making the hair on the back of everyone's neck stand on end.

"Claire! Claire!" Leon yelled into the walkie talkie. But all he got back was static. "Damnit." Leon said as he threw the walkie talkie in frustration. Smashing it into a million pieces.

"Leon!" Tara yelled to get his attention. "Where is Sub-basement C?"

He quickly took the map out of backpack and looked at it. After a few seconds he located the spot on it.

"I hate to suggest this." Johnathon spoke up. "But I think our best course of action should be..."

"Don't say it man." Xander voiced.

"To split up." Johnathon finished his statement.

"Damnit man!" Xander growled.

"You totally just jinxed us." Faith said with a shake of her head. "Don't you watch horror movies? Whenever someone says "let's split up" somebody dies."

"I hate to admit it, but I think Johnathon is right." Tara said as she looked at them all in turn.

"Me, Officer Kennedy, and Amy will go and find Claire, everybody else go and secure a safe exit out of this place."

After giving them a map and some extra ammo he had gotten from the downstairs weapons storage, Leon dissappeared through a door on the right side of the building.

"Hey Tara, how are we going to contact each other?" Xander asked as he indicated the broken walkie talkie on the floor.

"Just trust me." Tara said with a little smirk. "You'll eventually know how to contact me." Xander just gave her a look and moved onto the other side of the room with his group. Just as Faith was about to walk out the door with the others, Tara called out to her.

"Faith." Tara calls. The raven haired beauty turns to look at her new friend. "Take care of yourself."

With that said they both went on opposite sides of the buildings. They were possibly seeing each other for the last time.

"So you guy's are from out of town?" Leon asked as they slowly jogged through the corridors. They had made it to Sub Level B and they only had another floor left. Even though they wanted to find Clarie they still wanted, to be cautious.

"No we're from Sunnydale California." Tara answered not looking up at him. Her vampiric senses were on high alert and she smelled blood somewhere close.

"You're a long way from home aren't you?" he asked.

"I came here to see a friend of mine. His name is Chris Redfield and he's with the S.T.A.R.S. unit. Have you heard of him?" Tara asked.

"Did you say Redfield?" Leon asked. Tara nodded. "He wouldn't happen to be related to a Claire Redfield would he?"

"Yeah that's his baby sister." Tara answered as she turned to look at him. She used to call Chris at least once a week and he would alway's tell her about his little sister Claire. From the way he spoke about her he loved her very much. "She's the one we're looking for?" she asked, only for him to nod.

As they turn a corner they stop abruptly when they encounter...

...Weapons, ammo belts, bits of shredded uniforms, and human body parts, strewn all through the hall. This was theremnants of what was obviously a feeding-frenzy and a few cops last battle..

"Holy... Goh... gaah..." Amy said as she starts to vomit. Leon moves beside her and starts to pat her on the back.

"This is the first time you've seen dead bodies like this isn't it?" he asks as she stops barfing.

"Yeah." Amy replied as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "I've seen ton's of dead demon bodies, so you would think I wouldn't puke when I see a human's."

"Demons?" Leon asked with wide eyes.

"Long story." Amy said pulling a funny face as she looked over at Tara."Hey Tar' what are you doing?"

"We're going to need these weapons and ammo." she said as she picked up some clips for her gun out of a dead man's hand. "I can sense that the zombies aren't the only thing that's roaming around in here."

"You mean a thing like that." Amy asked as she pointed up. Following her line of vision Tara and Leon saw a strange four legged creature with no eyes and a grotesque long tongue clinging to the ceiling. Perhaps this was human once, but that was a long time ago.

As it started to move, the three foot long tongue swayed. Up close, the pink fleshy tongue is covered in a thousand tiny barbs. This monster is the stuff of nightmares. Really fucked up nightmares. The kind serial killers have.

"Oh crap." Tara said as the creature lunged at them.

TBC...

Please review...

A/N I'm sure you guy's knew that I was going to do a Resident Evil crossover. I mean I named a few of their main characters some chapters back.
