Chapter 37: The Cruise Ship

"What are we looking for again?" said Ash to Ronjad while searching Blusix's room. Since Blusix and May ran off, Ronjad has been trying to see if they took anything with them when they ran off.

"Anything missing," said Ronjad, "You don't know if they took any more important documents or stuff like that, so they could release more information to the media."

"We are lucky she didn't mention our names," said Ash, "That be a hell of a situation we be in then."

"This is blue eagle to stardust to do you copy?" said Riche over the radio to Ronjad.

"This is stardust," said Ronjad through the radio, "I thought I told you to stop it with the stupid nicknames."

"Sorry," said Riche, "Anyways, when I was looking around the stuff we have stored away. I noticed we were missing one alien signal CD and infected DNA sample from the storage."

"Did you see the chart on the clipboard to see who checked it last time?" said Ronjad, "If it's either Blusix or May, we're in trouble."

"That's not it," said Riche, "The weird thing about it is that Domino is the last one to check the stuff out months ago before she disappeared. Why would she have it?"

"I don't know," said Ronjad, "When we moved all of her stuff to storage, we didn't find any samples or CDs that caught our attention."

"Maybe she took it on the trip we did to find the electric creatures?" said Riche.

"But why would she have those things there to begin with?" said Ronjad, "Besides, there is nothing to gain if she steals them."

"I don't know," said Riche, "It's so weird!"

Later that night, Ronjad was in his room checking over all his work to see if May or Blusix took it with them. But it was all there.

Then the phone rang loudly in the dark room. Then Ronjad picked it up and said, "Hello? Yes this is Ronjad, why?"

Ronjad's eyes widen and then he dropped the phone and ran out of the room fast to find Ash.

"You're kidding aren't you?" said Ash as Ronjad and he ran down the path to the hospital, "Bianca woke up and she's ok?"

"No way!" said Ronjad, "She's alive and everything about her is ok! Plus she wants to see us as well!"

Both of them then ran inside and checked out with nurse who led them to Bianca's room. In there was Bianca with her eyes wide open looking at the ceiling. Then nurse then left the room and Bianca slowly fixed her eyes onto Ronjad and Ash who were staring at her.

"What the hell happened?" said Bianca slowly, "What happened to me and at the warehouse?"

"Ah," said Ronjad thinking, "Before I answer that, I have some questions for you. 1. Do you believe in aliens at all?"

"Yes," said Bianca now looking back at the ceiling again, "I do believe we are not alone in the universe."

"How about alien infecting others and turning the people into aliens?" said Ronjad looking at the ceiling to see what she's looking at. He saw the three swirl mark on top of the ceiling above, just like the alien symbol.

"Possibly," said Bianca quietly, "Is that what happen to me? Is it true?"

Ronjad and Ash looked at each other and sighed before Ash spoke, "Yes, that horrible sound released in the warehouse was an alien signal that turns other into aliens. But for some reason, not you."

Bianca was quiet and then said, "What about a cruise ship? What about the lost ship at sea that disappear months ago?"

"What do you mean?" said Ronjad.

"A ship lost at sea disappeared during the storm," said Bianca, "There in my dreams, I saw the crew, captain, and passengers who cried out to me in the crystal forest that surround me. They said they'll be coming with an old friend of your's, Ronjad"

"Ship?" said Ash.

"Crystal forest?" said Ronjad. Both looked back at each other. Old friend? Who and when will this person come with the ship was the question both of them had.

"I don't know," disagreed Riche while he was looking for lost ships on the computer, "I don't see a single missing ship in the database during that storm." Riche, Lovrina, Melody, and Ronjad were in Riche's room.

"Come on!" replied Ronjad to Riche, "There has to be a ship! Bianca had the crystal forest dream where she saw a lost ship at sea!"

"I'm still wondering if we can trust her at all," said Lovrina who was also in the room, "I mean, she took a full blast and isn't infected enough to become an alien. I sense a problem here."

"I getting that too," agreed Melody, "This isn't a good sign at all."

"Wait a minute!" exclaimed Riche looking at the computer, "Here's something! The Umbrella Corporation Private Cruise Ship had vanished during the storm. The ship was full of employees of the company taking a vacation, ship members, and the ship's captain is a man called Ross."

"I heard about Umbrella!" said Ronjad, "I heard they caused a disease outbreak in the Nebraska city called Raccoon City. It ended with the U.S. Army dropping a nuclear bomb onto city, wiping out over 100,000 people from the face of the Earth."

"I heard about it too," said Melody, "Umbrella is claiming it wasn't there fault that the disease got out."

"My cousin, Don A. Jr. lived out there during the bombing," said Ronjad, "I wonder if he's ok anyways?"

"RONJAD!" screamed Lovrina into his face the next morning.

"AHHH!" screamed Ronjad back, "WHAT! Nuclear bomb? Alien? What?"

"None of that is happening."

"Then what? Why did you wake me?"

"The ship has arrived in the port! The Umbrella Corporation ship had landed in the port!" Ronjad jumped to his feet at Lovrina's words and next he pushed her out of his room so he could get dress to check out the ship that arrived.

"No way!" said Ronjad staring at the ship from the dock.

"Double no way," agreed Lovrina with Ronjad.

"Triple no way!" mumbled Ash, Riche, and Melody together. The ship was at the port and reporters from all over the Orange Islands were there asking questions of the crew and passengers.

"Where were all of you?" shouted one of the reporters to Captain Ross.

"What happened aboard the ship?" asked another one.

"Does this have to do with anything with the Raccoon accident that happened?" shouted another.

"All of us do not know what happened out there," said Ross, "But we are lucky to consider we are alive and everything. No further more questions." Then he walked aboard the ship with still more people shouting questions.

"This is fishy," said Ronjad to everyone, "He's lying, and we have to find out what's going on aboard that ship."

"How the heck are we supposed to do that?" said Ash crossing his arms, "Umbrella's a tight company and has lots of security, and sure that ship has plenty of security has well!"

"Leave that to me!" said Ronjad with a smile. Everyone stared at him and thought, "This can't be good."

"I knew this wouldn't be good!" shouted everyone at Ronjad. Ronjad had revealed his plan that night, they were going to sneak aboard the ship and see if they can find anything that could tell them if the people are infected.

"Where your sense of adventure people?" said Ronjad to everyone, "This is important! We'll split into teams, Lovrina and me, Melody and Ash, and Riche by himself. Sound good?"

"Sounds horrible to me!" shouted Riche.

"What's the word I'm thinking off," said Ronjad while thinking and then Lovrina whispered something into his ear and he responded back to Riche, "Oh yes, live with it!"

"Uptight, stuck-up bastard," mumbled Riche under his breath about Ronjad.

Ronjad and Lovrina walked around the ballroom of the ship. The carpet was red, the emerald chandelier hanged high above them, the lights were out, the tables were pressed against the walls as the chairs stood on-top of them, and the floor tiles that led out of the ballroom were marble.

"You know," asked Ronjad to Lovrina, "This is a pretty fancy ship, why would Umbrella need this?"

"Beats me," said Lovrina admiring the room's interesting qualities, "But this room is magnificent! I want to work for place like this just to ride this ship!"

"Like I would let you join Umbrella and leave our group," mention Ronjad, "You would have too many secrets that would be dangerous that would hurt this group horribly."

"I'm joking!" promised Lovrina hugging Ronjad, "Like I leave you! I'd never leave you at all!"

"This is hell!" said Riche flashing his flashlight through the empty hallways of the ship, "I'm just lucky that all the passengers have left or I would have been caught instantly."

Riche then flashed his light of onto a door. It read research lab on it. Riche opened the door and looked inside. He couldn't see a single thing in the room's darkness and then his flashlight went out.

"Crap," said Riche reaching for a light switch which hit and then said after he saw the room, "Holy crap." The room was a mess, papers were scattered everywhere, desks were broken, beakers appeared to have been smashed against the wall.

Riche looked down and saw a paper on the floor that caught his attention. He picked it up and looked over it. It read, "Dr. Richard, I regret to inform you that an outbreak has been caused do to your failure to contain the virus at the Chicago research base caused the virus to spread and infect all the workers there. Because of this, your problem, you are fired. Please meet Ozwell E. Spencer before you clear out your desk, he has something to say.

From,

E. Smith."

"What the hell happened there?" said Riche looking the note again and again and then radioed to Ronjad, "Hey! I found something freaky!"

"Creepy," studied Melody the engine room with Ash. Ronjad thought that there could be a clue in the engine room where nobody goes. Machines and gizmos alike were everywhere in this dark room. The only light came from their flashlights.

"Tell me about it," agreed Ash, "I bet well find like a spaceship in here!"

"No!" said Melody excitedly, "Even better! Nothing at all! So our lives are not in danger at all!"

"Wimp," muttered Ash under his breath. All of a sudden a noise clattered against the steel floors. They flashed their lights on the spot, but only a bucket was lying on the floor.

"Just a bucket," sighed Melody.

"But what's a bucket doing down here?" said Ash looking, "Shouldn't that stuff be above this room? Melody?" He looked around, she was gone.

"What the hell?" said Ash flashing his light all over the place. All of a sudden, a person jumped in front of him a punched him in the face. Then he blacked out.

"How did I get separate from Lovrina?" wondered Ronjad as he walked down the halls of the ship, "She was right behind me!"

A creaks started to emerge from the floors and Ronjad looked around. He grabbed his stun gun, attached his flashlight to it, and looked around.

Then a person jumped out of nowhere and kicked Ronjad through the air and onto the ground. Before he hit the ground he shot 3 stun shells into the attacker, killing him.

"Whoa!" said Ronjad in a daze getting off the ground, "What the hell happened?" He looked at the attacker and saw it was one of the ship crew members.

"He was infected," said Ronjad observing the body, "No normal human could kick a person like me, that far! Got to be careful, and stop wasting bullets. I just need one to stun a guy, the shock must freaked enough fire off too many rounds."

"You bastard," said a voice picking up Ronjad and tossing him against the wall, "Kill a friend of mine, you deserve to die." Ronjad looked from his position on the ground at the person. It was Sakura, she was covered in faded burn marks and her clothes were almost burned away.

"DIE!" said Sakura pulling out an axe from behind her back and charging at Ronjad. Ronjad spin out of the way as the axe hit nearly missed him.

Ronjad then fired a bullet into her breast area. Sakura screamed in pain and dropped to the ground stunned.

"What the hell of a trip this is!" said Ronjad getting of the ground, "Days like this make this the best job ever!"

"Damn," said Riche walking the halls with the new flashlight he found in the lab, "This is a big ship!" He then came to a room that said, "Steering Room."

"About time!" said Riche, "Maybe I can find something important in here." He opened the door and looked around and saw Ash, Melody, and Lovrina tried together.

"This always seems to happen to you people," said Riche with a glare and walked towards them. Then someone grabbed him by the shoulder and tossed him into the radar computer. He looked from his spot and saw it was Ross.

"Thought you could capture us?" said Ross, "Think you can stop our invasion? Think again, as I speak, Sakura is killing your friend Ronjad. You have no means of escape."

"Think again!" said Riche pulling his gun and shooting Ross. He dropped to the ground and Riche went over to see. Then Ross got back up, grabbed Riche's gun, and punched him through the glass window of the room and out onto the deck.

"No one can save you now!" shouted Ross to Riche from the broken window. Then shots went off and Ross fell through the window and onto the deck himself. Ross was dead.

"Let's another for the jail," said Riche tossing Sakura into her old cell, "Welcome back."

"Hell with you," grumbled Sakura, "HELL WITH ALL OF YOU!" Riche smirked and walked out of the room.

"You'll pay for this," said Sakura.
