Well, now that we have a siren going off that signal's the decent into complete and total anarchy. I think
Someone brought up the question on how the virus spread so quickly through the town, that will be addressed in this and following chapters so don't worry; it was not a giant hole in my story. I actually planned for that.

Kim Possible: Resident Evil Apotheosis
Chapter 7
The Dead shall Inherit Middleton
3:07
The siren continued its demonic howl as the students in the gym stood in shock at the sound. All their life they have been in Middleton and today is the only time they ever heard the siren used, which indicated something catastrophic.
"OK people listen up!" Steve Barkin shouted to the group of students which gathered around him.
"Stoppable, Possible, you two change and get in touch with your computer kid. Find out what's going on. Renton, head to my office and grab the small portable TV off the desk, be back here ASAP!"
"Got it Mr. Barkin!" The three teens shouted.
"Good now get going! The rest of you will stay here till we figure out what's going on"
Felix was already through the doors heading to Barkin's office; Kim and Ron were quickly changed into their mission clothes.
They met up with each other before they went to Barkin.
"What ya' think Kim?"
"I don't know Ron, but Wade probably has some idea" Kim grabbed the kimmunicator out of her backpack and called Wade. Instead of Wades face appearing, all she got was static, which was quickly followed by a 'SIGNAL LOST' message.
"There is no way that is a good sign"
"No way" Rufus squeaked while trembling in Ron's pants pocket.
"I do not like this, like something ferociously bad is happening"
The two retuned into the Gym where the squad with Mr. Barkin, Felix, Monique and Josh huddled around the small portable TV, each had a look of complete disbelief.
"We tried to get Wade but the signal is down" Kim said, but it fell on def ears. The group continued to stare at the small screen.
Ron and Kim traded worried glances as they approached the group, the crackle from the TV becoming clearer with each step.
"These creatures are killing everything in their path; the police cannot stop their advance as they take over Middleton! If you are able to, please get out while you still can!"
It sounded like a movie, but as Kim and Ron walked behind the group to see the screen they saw that it was the local news station.
Behind the female reporter the city of Middleton looked like a war zone. Gunfire ringing out in the background, the screams of the injured or dying, and those…..those creatures, They looked like human beings, but they shambled about slowly as they closed around a fallen police officer and proceeded to rip him apart.
Kim covered her face as the tears came to her eyes, Ron stared blankly at the screen, and Rufus shared his expression as he perched on his shoulder.
"Again, this started roughly an hour ago; these bizarre and deadly creatures seem to have emerged from the Umbrella facility and are destroying and killing everything in their path. The police have roadblocks and barricades set up all over town to try and stop the riot of creatures! So far they haven't been able to stop them and as a result the Mayor is issuing a City wide evacuation order to all residents in the area; get out while you still can! This is Summer Gale, reporting live from- AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
The reporter's bloodcurdling scream was cut off as the camera fell to the ground, still recording as Summer Gale was pounced on by a skinless creature that wrapped its long tongue around her neck and proceeded to rip her head off.
It was at that point that Barkin shut the TV off; he as well as the others couldn't take it anymore.
At that point three members of the cheer squad, Liz, Hope and Marcela started sprinting towards the doors.
"Where are you going?" Kim managed to choke out.
"We have to get to our families!" Liz shouted, not stopping.
"You can't go out there! Stay here! It's safer if we are together, going out is suicide!" Kim argued, the three cheerleaders stopped just as they reached the door.
"Possible's right, we have a chance if we stick together. I urge you three to stay" Barkin wasn't his usual assertive, angry self. Instead he sounded broken and defeated as he backed up Kim.
"I…I can't…….I have to……I'm sorry" Marcela said, barely audible as she disappeared through the doors, Hope and Liz right behind her.
The remaining students stood there, staring towards the door that they left through, wondering if they would ever see them again.
They huddled up on the bleachers as Kim buried her head into Ron's chest.
"They'll be ok Kim, I know it." Ron reassured her, but he didn't believe it himself, not after what they all witnessed.
Kim pulled herself back to look into Ron's eyes, she wasn't crying, at least not on the outside but Ron knew this was tearing into her. Her eyes told it all, it was the look of helplessness, a look that was NEVER in Kim's eyes.
"Let's keep trying Wade, we have to get in touch with someone eventually. And if GJ shows up we have to be able to try to get to them." Ron said, trying to build her spirits up.
Kim slowly nodded as they walked over to the bleachers with the others, and begin the process of trying to get in touch with anyone.
James Timothy Possible paced nervously around the large house he and his family were brought too. Upon arrival they realized that the Stoppable's were also brought here under the same circumstances, and that his daughter's computer friend Wade and his family were going to be here shortly.
But that was all he was able to get out of the four agents that were with them, no word on Kim or Ron, or as to why they were here. All they got was that everything would be revealed after Wade's arrival, which couldn't come fast enough.
"James, please sit down." Mrs. Possible asked.
James glanced at his watch, '3:30'
Three hours we've been here, where are they? Where is my Kimmie-cub?
James felt a hand wrap around his arm, it was his wife's.
"James, please" Her eyes begged him to sit, he reluctantly agreed.
And at the time he sat down, the door opened and in walked Wade Load with his family in tow.
James jumped from his seat "WADE!"
He practically crushed the kid in a huge bear hug that he enveloped him in, obviously overjoyed about his arrival.
After he was pried off the kid did the questions start, and Wade asked the first one.
"Where are Kim and Ron?"
"What? You mean you don't know either?" James answered, anger and panic building in him.
"I figured that they were in school, I was going to contact them with the information I found when these guys knocked on the door and asked me to come with them" Wade motioned to the two guys who conversed with the other agents, all shared worried looks on their faces, which didn't help the families.
James in a fit of rage stomped over to the group of agents, fists clenched.
"Alright, we are all here now, I want to know what is going on and why you pulled us all from our homes! And where are daughter and her Partner!"
The agents exchanged nervous looks with each other before one of them spoke up.
"I can't answer all of them, but if you turn the television on you will have most of them answered"
A nervous silence descended on the room as the families quickly snatched up the remote and turned the set on.
3:45
Mr. Smith saw Albert Wesker and his four man squad leaving in an Umbrella chopper that was sitting on the roof's landing pad through one of the security monitors. He immediately contacted Umbrella HQ and told them the situation, he then ran down towards the motor pool and took one of the Suburbans and left the town where he waited for Umbrella to send some reinforcements.
The surrounding Umbrella offices swarmed the boarders of Middleton like a swarm of killer bees. Within ten minutes of their arrival they completely sealed off the city from the outside world, units were on high alert and did their very best to keep this from becoming a Government Issue.
Umbrella was lucky in the Raccoon incident, they had several Agents in rather high political offices in the FBI, CIA, ATF, Pentagon, and the White house and they were able to keep the entire situation from becoming a full blown investigation which would have destroyed Umbrella.
This time, however they wouldn't be as fortunate. Apparently when one of the last police held blockades was over run, an Officer Hobble sent out a transmission to Global Justice Headquarters with an assessment of the situation. Hobble was mauled after he got the transmission out, and since Middleton was the home town of the world famous teen hero Kim Possible, Global Justice sent its best over in the direction of Middleton.
Mr. Smith watched as a Global Justice Hover jet landed in the middle of the street and 20 men double timed it off the back ramp.
Smith started towards the parked aircraft when a woman appeared on the ramp, an eye patch over one of her eyes.
"You in charge here?" The woman asked.
"Yes, I am Smith of the Umbrella Corporation. You are?"
"Dr. Director, and I'm taking command of this operation"
"Negative Doctor, we have the situation under control here, your help will not be needed"
Dr. Director walked right up to Mr. Smith with a scorn look in her eye.
"Under control? Did you happen to see the news reports on what was going on?"
"Greatly exaggerated I assure you, Umbrella is handling this"
"Not anymore I'm afraid, I am taking control of this operation, and that's straight from the top" Dr. Director said smugly.
Smith gritted his teeth, now there was no protecting this from the Government if it's an order straight from the top.
"Very well then"
"Good, now I want you to assemble your best men for a rescue mission"
Smith laughed, causing Dr. Director to give him a scornful glare.
"Not likely"
"Beg your pardon?"
"I am not sending my men into that death trap, if you want a rescue mission you do it yourself, with no help from anyone you see in an Umbrella uniform"
Dr. Director sighed, the tone in Smith's voice told her that no matter how much backing she had by the government, Umbrella was not going to cooperate with them.
"Fine, then Global Justice will go in ourselves. And when we get back we will report your acting to our superiors."
"Hah, If you get back, good luck on that mission but none of you are coming back, alive anyway" Smith turned and left, leaving Dr. Director with his last words.
She brushed he attempt at scaring her off as she motioned for her best agent, soon Will Du was by her side.
"Will, start gathering up the men and preparing them. We go in, in roughly thirty minutes."
"Yes ma'm"
Will headed back to the men, while Betty headed to the cockpit of the jet and started trying all the channels, trying to get a signal from within the city.
4:10
Vin slowly awoke from his forced slumber, his head and body hurt like hell.
He pulled himself up and leaned onto one of the nearby counters as he tried to remember what exactly happened.
Ow…fuck. Ok, I was at my post, then Wesker showed up. Vin started clenching and unclenching his fists at the memory.
AWwww SHIT! The Virus! The Fucker set off the goddamned virus! Shit! How long ago did he set it off! How the fuck long have I been out!
Vin remembered he had a watch on his left hand, which read 4:10PM.
Great, I've been out over two hours
Vin's thoughts went back to the virus that Wesker said he unleashed when his gaze came across the device that Dr. Rams showed him.
He grabbed the device and shoved it into his arm, wincing at the pinch it gave.
Vin stared at the infection readout, waiting eagerly for the results.
000.00
Vin let out a sigh of relief, he wasn't infected.
He then realized that he was unarmed.
His eyes scanned the room, looking for something to use as a weapon when he came across the handgun lying on the ground.
Vin walked over and picked the gun up and examined it, Glock 34 with a fully loaded clip of 17 rounds. Vin would need every one of those 17 as the clip in the gun is the only clip he had.
Before he decided to set out Vin headed to the computer in the room, pocketing the infection device and sliding the Glock into his holster.
He started to look at the infection rates for the G-Virus, knowing that Wesker had probably set it off in the air and let it settle over the town, the squad that was with him probably released the creatures that were locked up, just to insure ultimate decimation.
Vin scanned down the file on the virus when he found what he was looking for, it was the infection rate/time of the virus when it was released in the air.
"Jesus H Tap-dancing Christ"
When a person is infected with the virus, through normal means (biting, injection ect) the turnover rate was roughly 8 hours. When contracted through the air, that time was cut in half, and then some.
If infected through the air, a person only had 45 minutes till they turned, Vin shuddered on that finding.
"Well, that's good to know. I'm probably surrounded by a city that wants me for dessert, It's fucking Raccoon City all over again."
Vin slammed his fist into the steel table, the sound reverberated in his skull.
Vin started toward the first aid kit on the wall hoping it had some aspirin in it.
Sure enough it had some pain killers. Vin cracked the bottle open and emptied the contents into his hand, he started counting out how many pills he would have to take.
"one, two, oh Fuck It" Vin grabbed 4 pills and downed them, not caring how many he was actually supposed to take, if it stopped his headache that's all he cared about.
Vin wandered back to the computer, before he was going to try to escape this city, he had to check all the security videos so he knew exactly what he'd be up against, and where he should go.
4:25
The families stayed glued to the television screen, watching the horrific images that were going on in Middleton.
There was still no word on Kim and Ron, and the images that they were seeing were telling them to expect the worst.
Wade couldn't take it, he was already almost complete with setting up his new command center in which to run all communications from, however the new set up wasn't configured to the kimmunicator's frequency, so until he fixed that he still couldn't contact Kim.
No sooner did Wade get everything set up then did he receive an incoming call. It was a Global Justice sourced call.
Wade hit the accept button, and his screen showed Dr. Director, clad in body armor. Behind her were roughly twenty GJ agents similarly equipped.
"Wade?"
"Dr. Director"
"Where are you, and where is Kim and Ron?"
"Outside of Middleton, some Umbrella agents escorted the Possible's, Stoppable's, and my family out of Middleton."
"Hm, sounds like they got inside information on what was going on"
"They said that someone gave them orders to get us out of there, so there may be someone who knows something we don't"
"Right, but now I am not getting any cooperation from the Umbrella agents here. The city is sealed off, no one goes in or out"
"Same strategy they used in Raccoon City"
"Raccoon City?"
"I'll explain later, what you need"
"We're going on a rescue mission to get what survivors there are out of there. We need to know if there are any, and where they are"
"Already working on it"
Wade typed at the keyboard, within seconds he had an answer.
"Good news, I have a readings of a group of survivors in the Gym at the High School! Kim and Ron have to be amongst them. I also got one person, but he seems to be underground."
An Umbrella agent hurried over to where Wade was sitting.
"Did you say underground?"
"Yes, why?"
"Son of a Bitch he made it!" The agent said, his voice filled with joy. His outburst also got the attention of the families and the other agents.
"Who made it?" Wade asked, completely confused.
"Special Agent Pellegrino, he was the one that told us to go out and take you guys out of the city, said it was crucial"
Curious, Wade taped into the Umbrella personnel files and did a search for Agent Pellegrino, what came back amazed Wade.
"Dr. Director, we may have someone who could help with your rescue mission" Wade said as he sent her a copy of Pellegrino's file.
Dr. Director looked over the file quickly.
"Impressive records, but it says he's an Umbrella agent. Can we trust him?"
"According to the agent's here with us, he was the one responsible for getting us out of the city"
"Well, it's better than going in alone. Wade, see if you could contact this Agent and tell him what's up, I'll keep in touch"
"You got it"
The transmission ended, now there was a small crowd around Wade.
"Anything on Kimmie?" James asked.
"And Ronald?" Mrs. Stoppable asked.
"Not sure, we have a group of survivors in the school gym, which should be them. We also have the agent that got us out of the city in there as well."
"Can he help us?"
"He did already, so lets see"
Lucky for Wade, Pellegrino's personal file had his cell phone number in it. Wade started dialing.
Vin was checking the security feeds in the facility, determining which way he should go when his cell phone started vibrating.
"What the hell?"
Vin reached into his pocket and pulled his phone out, which was now playing it's melody
Takin' Care of Business
Takin' Care of Business
Vin flipped the phone open and put it to his ear.
"Hello?"
Hah! You've been cliffhangered!
Now, if all goes well on my side, I might update this again this weekend. No promises though as I have another story I have to update.
Read and Review, and get a response from me!
Some say it's better than Cash!
