Chapter 9: Life or Death
"What the hell is he thinking he can barely walk let alone fight a creature with the speed of twenty men." Mary said trying to open the door but Troy barred it with something. "It's stuck on something,"
"Damn, he can be stubborn sometimes," Jacob said trying to pry the door open, then shook his head at the other's "not going to open he locked it somehow."
The group sat there for a moment than tried to think of a way to get the door opened before Troy was ripped to shreds.
oOo
The hunter rushed at Troy and slashed, Troy nearly escaped it's attack, his movements were sluggish since the Tyrant attack on the group his ribs were bruised and it took a lot for him to catch his breath, even move.
Crap if I can't dodge this thing to long this is harder than I thought it would be Troy's thought was cut short by another attack charge from the little devil, it swung and Troy dove out of the way only this time the monster lodged it's claw's into the wall and it was stuck,
yes finally a break he thought as he unloaded shots into the creature's head but nothing it made it even more angry, angry enough to rip part of the wall out with it's claws and rush at Troy again well I guess when I told myself I would protect these people with my life, I wasn't lying.
oOo
The group was getting worried they heard a lot of noise coming from inside the room but it has been quite for what seemed like an eternity then the voice came back on over the speaker
"Attention all Umbrella staff the self destruct sequence has started you now have ten minutes to evacuate the facility I repeat you now have ten minutes to evacuate the facility"
as soon as the transmission ended the door to the adjacent room opened and Troy came stumbling through with a wound on his right arm, "Hey didn't you here the speaker we have got to go now no time to waste, let's move to that exit you found us." Troy was grasping his arm and trying to walk as best he could without showing much pain.
"What about your arm did the..." Mary was interrupted by Troy.
"No there was a piece of shrapnel that flew out and pierced my arm, luckily it was my right arm not my left." Troy then kept walking down the hall bracing himself on the wall.
"We can make it but somebody has to help you there tough guy." said Ean while reaching out and helping brace Troy with the help of James, and then the group started to walk to the exit.
oOo
The group reached the exit it was a lift big enough for them all to relax a little and for Troy to lay down and heal his wounds a bit. The lift started, so that was a plus, and it started to raise which made them start to believe there luck had changed a little.
The lift was nearing the top when the lift shook heavily and slowed down, everyone started to look at one another wondering if there luck had went back to being as crappy as it started out being.
"C'mon were almost there why can't we catch a break why does this always have to happen to us" Jacob cried out in a whiny tone.
The group looked around trying to find out why the lift was slowing down they were on borrowed time as is, they didn't have time for anything bad to happen but of course something had to happen, the group was looking over the sides when they heard a scream the all looked back to see that Mary was grabbed by something, it looked like a man, but it also looked like a tyrant, it was so big though so they didn't think it could be a tyrant or a man it was something different a test subject or something.
It held the kicking and screaming in one hand and then with ease he crushed her neck, she stopped kicking and screaming as soon as that happened, it then threw her off the side of the lift, and it then started to eye Troy as he was clearly the easiest target being he was un-conscious, as the monster reached down to grab Troy there was a loud boom and Ean was standing with his shotgun pointed at the beast.
"I found a file pertaining this creature it's name is Mr. X and it's a new type of tyrant a quicker, stronger and meaner type of tyrant..." Ean paused letting out a sigh of despair "I don't think we are going to make it past this one.."
And the lift kept raising to the top while the group was getting ready for what could be the toughest battle they will have faced during this whole nightmare, and for some they wish they could just wake up and this will all be over but the likely hood of that happening was starting to look very slim.
