Ch.15- The Start of the Final Battle
Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil…and neither do you.
A/N: Okay, I know you all are thinking "Oh my God! She finally updated!" Sorry it's been so long, but school, work, and the lack of ideas were occupying my time, so here's the next chapter.

Lilie blinked for a while to check to make sure that she wasn't just dreaming that the entire place went dark after the unexplained crash. After her eighth blink, she was convinced that she was definitely not dreaming. "Ah, dammit. What now?" she asked softly before shouting, "Does anybody have a flashlight or something?"
"Why didn't you grab one when you went to the Varn's house?" Billy asked from behind her.
"Well, I had to choose between a gun and a flashlight, so I chose the thing that wouldn't leave me completely defenseless. I mean, I'm not stupid." Lilie answered.
"Could have fooled me." Tom grunted softly, hoping that Lilie didn't hear him. She did.
"What was that?" Lilie asked Tom in a threatening voice.
"You heard me." Tom told her bravely so she wouldn't think that he was afraid of a little fifteen-year-old.
From in front of Tom, Lilie grunted, "If it wasn't so damn dark, I'd go behind and kick your ass. I may be only fifteen, but that doesn't mean that I can't kick your ass."
Suddenly, a little flame came from in between Tom and Lilie and produced a little bit of light in the darkened hallway.
Lilie turned to the light-maker and let out a frustrated sigh, "You had a lighter and didn't say anything?"
"I forgot I still had it. I mean, with all the shit that's been happening, I could have easily lost it." Chris answered as a sheepish grin formed on his face.
Almost immediately after the little bit of light came, the other lights were lit again. Now, the little from the lighter was completely useless.
"Wow. I guess this place has a back-up generator or something." Lilie said.
The hallway began to rumble and make loud crashing noises that seemed to get louder each second the group spent in the hallway. The noises concluded almost a minute later with the door ahead breaking open and one of the huge tyrants stood in the broken doorway with its large hands held high, ready to strike at anything that came even remotely close to it.
At first it stood there, waiting to see if anyone would come to it so it could strike, but after a few minutes of nobody walking forward, the creature rushed towards the small group, grabbed Barry by the throat, and began to raise the body in the air.
Barry kicked his legs in the air as he attempted to aim his gun at the creature's head and fire a bullet or two to get rid of the creature. The creature, on the other hand, had a different idea. It began to shake Barry through the air while still keeping its grip against the man's neck.
Quickly, Michael turned around and shot the larger creature in the back of the head three times. The bullets landed into the skull of the creature, making a wet sound as it tore apart the flesh of the skull.
Reluctantly, the creature dropped the man to the ground. It stood straight up in the air before falling dead to the ground in a slowly growing pool of blood.
"It's dead? But how? Those things always die when we shot them in the neck, not the head." Lilie asked in a confused voice.
Rebecca kneeled down by the dead creature and slightly turned its body over and examined the fatal gunshot wounds. "One of them is at an angle. It's by the bottom of the head, but the bullet is aimed at the neck, so in a way, this creature really was shot in the neck." She explained as simply as possible in case somebody wouldn't understand the technical words she was planning on using.
"Come on, let's go. I don't know who's behind everything, but I have a feeling that whoever he, she, or they are, it's gotta be in the next room." Lilie shouted before running into the next room.

"Sir, we have a problem." The scientist told Milat.
"A problem? Well, what is it?" Milat asked quickly.
"The big experiment is back…and she's destroying all the other experiments." The scientist explained timidly.
"She's here? Well, try to control her before she destroys everything." Milat shouted.
"We tried, sir, but we can't control her. She's already destroyed all the extra experiments except for ones that were released fifteen minutes ago. She even killed Hank, Dale, and Bill. So, what should we do?" the scientist asked.
Milat took a few seconds to think before making his order. "Get in that room and seal all exits. She's not getting out of here alive."
The lone scientist hesitated but obeyed his order. He walked into the room that held the problem and sealed all the exits in the room. After the exit was closed, the only sounds that could be heard was a bunch of thrashing around and the sound of the lone scientist screaming as the creature inside fed upon him.
After the creature finished its small snack, it began ramming into the door towards Milat. It was unable to break the door down and for that, Milat was grateful.

Lilie and the other members of her group rushed through the dim, empty room they currently entered. They were close. Lilie could feel it even though she was physically unable to see how big the room still was and how long it would take to find the source of the problem.
Finally, the strong stench of blood and rotting flesh founds its way into the group's noses. We're gonna make it…we're gonna make it…we're gonna… Lilie silently chanted to the beat of her footsteps as they echoed through the room.
The group finally made it to the end of the room and into another room, their hopes at running into the person responsible for the outbreak for at that moment, they yet again ran into another familiar tyrant.
This one, however, was unaware of the group appearing behind he or she until bullets and bows pierced its neck. As the creature fell, the group continued onto the next room.
"Well, Lilie Varn…oh, I'm sorry, Lilie Coen. You got out of jail. That's so fortunate…or possibly even not so fortunate." Milat said loudly while leaning against the opposite wall.
Lilie's eyebrows began to twitch. "What do you mean?" she asked the man.
"You didn't notice the little gift I gave to the city? How rude." Milat asked.
Lilie's eyes widened. "You gave the city this outbreak. You were the one that made the little babies into monsters and turned little Amy Morrow into the large leech-type monster?" she shouted.
Milat smiled and nodded, "Exactly. Genius, isn't it?"
"More like sick." Lilie said, "Why the hell would you want to do something like this?"
"Oh, don't worry. I didn't do all of this myself. My friend, who goes by the name of Wesker, helped me, too. Greatness can't be done alone."
"Wesker…" Chris growled. Without saying anything to the group, he rushed into another room as if on instinct. Jill, Barry, Leon, and Claire followed him. Now only Billy, Lilie, Rebecca, Tom, and Michael were the only ones left in the room with Milat.
Lilie held up her handgun and aimed it at Milat. "You call what you've just done genius? You think that turning innocent babies into monsters and kill off all the innocent people of Marysville genius? That's sick and crazy…like you." she shouted.
Milat aimed his own handgun at the youngest girl. "You don't know anything about geniousness. You don't know how it feels to finally make or do something that could change the world."
"You mean for the worse? What you've done was so horrible that even the most evil man in the world wouldn't have even thought of doing something like this, but then again, I shouldn't' have expected anything else from a man as crazy as you." Lilie shouted.
"Shut up, you ungrateful, stupid, little bitch! I swear to God, I will kill you just like I killed those twenty-three people in the explosion at the dance months ago."
Lilie was now angrier than she was before. "That was you? You killed my friends and injured the others and didn't say anything when I was arrested? I'm not going to let you kill me before I kill you first!"
The two of them didn't say anything with words. Instead, two bullets from the two guns hit the opposite body, but only one of the bodies bled.
The bullet that came to Lilie managed to hit her in the chest and knock her onto her back.
"Lilie!" Billy shouted as he watched his sister fall to the ground. Instantly, he rushed to her side. He was joined by Rebecca, Michael, and Tom, all of whom were concerned for Lilie.
"Lilie! Say something!" Billy shouted.
Lilie slowly opened her eyes and let out a moan, "Ah, man. That really hurt."
Rebecca looked at the small hole in Lilie's shirt by her chest, but was unable to see any blood. Carefully, she stuck her fingers into the hole and was able to grip the bullet, but it was stuck to some sort of metallic item. "Hey, Lilie?" she asked.
"Yeah?" Lilei asked.
"Are you wearing some sort of metal?"
"Ummm…" Lilie said. She reached down her shirt and pulled out the medal she grabbed from the house. Pierced right in the middle of the medal was a bullet. It acted like a shield from the bullet. "Wow, I never thought that something I won would save me." Lilie said. She reached into her medal, pulled out the bullet, and tossed it off to the side.
A weak laugh cut off by coughing came from Milat's body. A small wound in his stomach from a bullet wound that came from Lilie's gun was gushing out blood. "Heh heh…You will not escape this city." he weakly laughed at Lilie.
"What do you mean I won't escape this city?" Lilie asked him.
"This city will be suffering the same fate as the old Raccoon City. At the stroke of midnight, this pathetic little town full of ungrateful, idiotic bastards will be completely destroyed. You will die a quick and painful death…just like everyone else has, Lilie Coen." Milat used the last bit of his strength to say his final sentence before dying.
"What time is it now?" Rebecca asked the group of people.
Tom looked at his watch and almost immediately paled. "It's ten minutes to midnight."
Everybody knew what that meant. They had ten minutes to hop into "The Spirit of Freedom" and get as far away from Marysville as possible or they were definitely going to die.
"We have to warn the others about this. They can take their revenge some other time, but we have to leave this town NOW!" Billy shouted.
Rebecca, Lilie, Tom, and Michael agreed with him. Why wouldn't they? They all heard what Milat told them and knew that if they valued their lives, which they did, they had to leave. Before they could move towards the room that held Wesker, the door that sealed the experiment began to rattle and quickly broke off its hinges. The creature came out of the room and it, or she, was hungry.

"Wesker! Get out here! We know you're here!" Chris shouted into the next room.
"Chris, well I see you've managed to find my latest hideout. And you brought guests…wonderful. Excellent." Wesker said coolly.
"How could you do something so horrible like using babies as experiments?" Jill asked Wesker in a disgusted voice.
"Calm down. It's not like they would have been smart enough to enter the city by themselves if something went wrong." Wesker told her.
"But they did get out." Claire argued.
"Ah, but that part wasn't my fault. It was Milat that set them free. I was just around to use his abilities, but now with him out of the way, I can escape the city with all the information and use it on the next smart sucker I come across."
Chris, Jill, and Barry pointed their guns at Wesker. The man sighed and asked, "This is how you solve your problems? Violence? Well, fine. I guess sometimes you can get you want. Besides, I still got ten minutes to kill before this little town and everything in it is destroyed. So, bring it on." Two bullets from each of the three guns were fired.

"Oh my God! It's Amy!" Lilie shouted as the creature ran into the room.
Amy looked around the room to see which one of the victims she wanted to chow down upon first. She overlooked Milat's dead body for a reason unknown to the other living people, and began rushing towards Billy.
"Billy, it's the leech queen again. It's weak against the sunlight. We have to open the window!" Rebecca shouted.
Billy, Tom, and Lilie fired bullet after bullet at Amy, hoping to kill her quickly so they'd have enough time to escape Marysville.
"I got it!" Michael shouted. He ran to the nearest wall, climbed up a sturdy shelf, and unlocked one of the locked windows by turning a heavy valve handle. By using most of his strength, he opened the small window. As soon as the window opened, Michael noticed a small problem. "Uhhh…we have a little problem, people." he announced.
"What's the problem?" Rebecca asked him.
"There's no light." Michael simply answered.
Rebecca looked up at the window. Michael was right. It was now nine minutes to midnight and it was completely dark outside.
