Chapter 10: The Final Battle
The group stood, guns ready, to see if Mr. X would try to grab Troy they waited but it didn't move it only stared at Troy with a cold gaze, "Hey you ugly piece of crap," Ean said while jumping around waiving his arms frantically in the air "you don't want him you want a challenge, and he is clearly no challenge in his current state."
The monster was now slowly looking up to see exactly what he was up against, then a shot rang out and blood spurt from his left cheek, all that did was piss the monster off even more and instead of going after Ean it turned it's gaze to Jacob who was still firing upon the monster hitting him about one third of the time.
"Jacob stop he's going to kill you if you keep that up anymore" James started to lift his gun as he finished his sentence, once he fully lifted it he aimed for the monsters head and let out a couple of pot shots just enough to avert the attention of the monster, but nothing it knew who was the weaker challenge and it wanted that one gone first so he could have some fun later.
The monster picked up it's pace as it came closer to Jacob, then when it was about four feet away it lunged and retracted massive claws from it's right hand, "Jacob duck!" Ean shouted from the opposite side of the lift.
Jacob dove to the left barely missing the claws that were swiping across were his mid-section had been, Jacob let out a grunt as he landed wrong on is shoulder and rolled to James' feet, James then helped Jacob up but they didn't realize that the monster had already spun around and was rushing toward them claws ready,
I only have a couple shot's left so I better make them count Ean thought to himself just before he pulled the trigger blasting the monster in it's side, just before it lunged to attack the other two, the shot knocked the monster off balance causing it to stumble and fall onto a knee, while the monster was downed the group unloaded into the beast.
The bullets were going in but they didn't seem to have any effect to the monster it only seemed to make it more and more angry, then it snapped letting out a loud roar as it rose to it's feet, then it went for the two thinking it could take two down in one swipe, it rushed and lunged the same attack pattern it used before so it was easy for the two too avoid the attack, they rolled in different directions and stood readying themselves for it's next attack.
Crap my shoulder I can't roll to my left anymore, man this is bad Jacob thought to himself as the beast stood there pondering who he should attack first, BOOM was the only sound he heard as he watched the monster stumble forward and blood spray out of his back, he looked around to see Ean unloading his last two shot's into the monster and toss the shotgun aside.
"Great now I don't have a weapon, can this get any worse" Ean said frustrated that he couldn't do anything more now that he didn't have a weapon. He then looked at the monster as it rose back to it's feet letting out another loud roar and turned around so quick it looked like it was a blur it then rushed toward Ean who was in shock of how quick this monster was so quick it was now only a couple of feet away and it now was lunging.
All Ean could do was stand there he was in to much shock to do anything else and then right before the monster could lodge it's claws into his chest, he was tackled, but he could see that James and Jacob where on the other side of the lift
"Get up quick before it turns and starts at us again." a voice on top of Ean said, then they got up and he saw it was Troy who looked a little more rested than before, "move, move!" Troy said pushing Ean aside and diving in the opposite direction as the monster went between the two of them.
Just as Ean and Troy were standing up the speakers came back on "Attention all Umbrella employees you now have one minute to evacuate the building I repeat you now have two minutes to evacuate."
"O great this keeps getting better and better, this damned monster is weighing this thing down to much we need to find a way to get him off." James said panicly and a little annoyed
"Okay here's the plan you guy's keep it busy I will come up with a plan to get this monster off of here," Troy said tossing his .45 to Ean "You're going to need that if you hope on distracting that thing, careful it has quite a kick to it"
The group knew what they had to do and they started to do it, shots rang out left and right while Troy frantically searched the lift and the surrounding area for anything that could be of any use to them, as he was searching he saw they were nearing the top but with the monster on the lift they still wouldn't make it in time.
The bullet wounds in the creature were starting to take it's toll on the monster it was moving more sluggishly now and it started a different attack pattern one were it didn't lunge at the men but just kept running claws in front of him, it looked like bull fighting now the monster would charge and the men would just dive to the side.
As the others fought the creature Troy started to climb the shaft they were in because he noticed something that might be useful to them now but he had to climb fast because the group was running dangerously low on ammo and there stamina couldn't hold out forever.
