Chapter 8

The Beast Awakens

"Hello?"

"Agent Pellegrino?"

"Of course, who else would be answering his cell phone? Who is this?"

"This is Wade Load, Kim Possible's computer assistant"

Vin suddenly felt very vulnerable in the conversation, he started glancing nervously about the small room.

"Agent Pellegrino? Are you still there?"

"Yeah, I am. It's just a little unnerving right now, with you calling me and being trapped inside Umbrella's lab and all"

"So that's what's down there"

"Ok, now then, why are you calling me?"

"First off I wanted to thank you for getting us out of Middleton, although I'd like to know why you'd want us to get out Agent Pel-"

"Alright, first stop calling me Agent Pellegrino. Only Umbrella assholes call me Agent Pellegrino, you call me Vin."

"Um, ok then. Second is that Kim and Ron are still in the city, and they need to get out of there"

"They are still IN Middleton? I sent the agents to your locations how the Fuck could they not get them!"

Another voice came in over Wades,

"Actually sir, you only sent us three locations, which was the Possible's, Stoppable's, and Load residence"

Vin slammed his fist into the table in frustration.

"Mother Fucker!" He screamed as he threw the computer's keyboard against the far wall, it shattered on impact.

"Easy there Vin! Just calm down!"

"Don't tell me to just calm down you-, wait……..how did you know I was…"

"I've hacked into Umbrella security monitors; I as well as all the families are watching you on the feed"

Vin slowly looked up towards the video camera that seemed to be positioned directly on him, its red light shinning in the dim room.

"Right, you were saying again Wade?"

"Well first thing you need to do is put on that headpiece that's next to the computer monitor, that way we aren't communicating through your cell phone."

Vin's gaze fell on the device that was lying next to the computer; it was a simple earpiece with an extended arm with a mic attached to it.

Vin picked up the device and placed it into his left ear, shifting it around for a comfortable fit.

"Can you hear me?"

"Loud and clear"

Vin closed his cell phone and pocketed it, turning his attention to the door out of the lab.

"So I guess you want me to get out of here and get to Kim and Ron right?"

"Right, also know that Global Justice is sending in a squad to rescue them. So it's better if you just get to where Kim and Ron are and wait for rescue"

"Wade, did you ever break Umbrella's secret files?" Vin scoffed.

"Yeah I did, I read the report on Raccoon City and when I was going to inform Kim and Ron your rescue team showed up"

"So you read the Raccoon City file then?"

"Yes"

"Then you know as well as I do that any rescue attempt is a complete joke. Tell GJ to cancel that rescue mission, unless they want to get slaughtered"

"I can assure you Agent Pellegrino that we are more than prepared for whatever lies behind those walls"

The voice that spoke was unfamiliar to Vin, but the cockiness associated with it led Vin to believe it was a GJ agent that intercepted the transmission between Wade and him.

"Who is this? Identify yourself!"

"This is Global Justice agent Will Du, I am heading the operation into Middleton"

"Well WILL, you don't know what the hell you are going against, call off the mission!"

"Listen agent, I am one of the top agents in Global Justice"

"I don't give a shit if you were a Navy Seal; you are walking into a fucking deathtrap. Call off the mission!"

"I have no time for this, I have a mission to run, see you inside agent Pellegrino"

"You big headed Fuck! CANCEL THE MISSION! YOU'VE NEVER DEALT WITH THIS SHIT BEFORE!"

The line was cut off as Wades voice came back into the headpiece.

"Sorry about that Vin"

"Wade, get that ignorant Fuck to cancel the mission, he and all of his men are going to get butchered."

"I can't get a response from him now, and Dr. Director just contacted me with information that they are heading in now!"

"Jesus Christ, that stupid son of a bitch!"

"They're not going to make it are they?"

"Not a chance in hell Wade, I struggled to survive in Raccoon with my squad of six men, who by the way were trained for situations like this"

"So what now?"

"First, I get the hell to the security level and get to the armory. Then I go to the motor pool and take any surviving vehicle, and I head to get Kim and Ron and get the hell out of here"

"Sounds good, I'll keep in constant communication with you. I can't seem to get in touch with either Kim or Ron though so they have no idea what is going on"

"Alright Wade, if I run into trouble I'll let you know"

"Good luck"

The line went quiet, leaving Vin in the small lab with a new set of issues to deal with.

He headed to the loan door in the room, leading towards the other labs and more importantly his escape route.

Vin tried the doorknob, it was locked.

"So that's how I wasn't mauled to death, the jackass locked me in"

The locked door wasn't really a problem; Vin gave the door a swift powerful kick, making the door shudder with sounds of splintering wood.

Vin gave the door another powerful kick, breaking the lock and forcing the door open.

"That was easy"

Vin leaned out the newly opened doorway, checking if anything was in the hallway. It was empty.

Vin started slowly down the hallway, back towards his post and towards his escape.

Mr. Smith watched as the Global Justice squad climbed into two confiscated Umbrella Suburbans, it was the only help Umbrella was giving them.

Dr. Director and 4 GJ agents stayed in the hover jet to provide outside info to the squad heading into the battle zone. Smith headed over to the small tent that housed the Scientists of Umbrella, brought in by the outside branches.

"Can you guys tap into the labs facilities and operations?"

"Yes we can Mr. Smith"

"Do it"

Smith turned back as he watched the two loaded Suburbans roll under the newly erected gateway which kept what was in Middleton, in Middleton.

"We're in"

"Good, access the Apotheosis project"

"Sir?"

"Global Justice is going to witness first hand what Umbrella has been up to, and running into Apotheosis will ensure that their story never gets out"

"Project Apotheosis accessed, now what sir?"

"Type in the following command, 'Eliminate all hostiles, especially any in Global Justice'"

"Command Uploaded"

"Initiate Awaken Sequence" Smith began to allow a sinister smile to creep onto his face.

Deep within the Umbrella labs, the large tube containing Apotheosis slowly drained as his life support hoses snapped off of its body.

Once the fluid was gone its eyes snapped open, its eyes. Those black and red orbs of death frowned on the glass encasing it; it smashed through the tube with one hit.

On the table in front of it were two weapons, specially designed for Apotheosis. And a large black trench coat, complete with gloves that had claws embedded in them.

"Errrrrrrrr, Justice" It grumbled as it started towards the weapons.

Apotheosis was awake.

Vin was slowly making progress down the hallway, careful to train his gun on anything suspicious.

The wall across from where he emerged from erupted in a huge explosion, showering the hallway with dust and rubble.

Vin spun around, gun leveled at the dust cloud waiting for whatever caused the explosion to emerge.

Thump, Thump

The footsteps were heavy; the ground shook with each one.

Vin's eyes grew wide as the cause of the explosion emerged from the newly created hole.

"Hostile, Justice" it garbled.

Vin was staring at Apotheosis, which was surprisingly still here.

Unlike you, who will be crushed by that thing if you don't fucking MOVE!

Lowering his gun Vin continued to stare at Apotheosis when it started to move towards him.

"Holy Shit!" Vin turned and started sprinting down the hall, away from Apotheosis.

You can't outrun him you fucking jackass! Hide for Christ's sake!

Vin skidded to a stop as his eyes darted around for someplace for him to lay low till the creature leaves.

The door on the left! Go, now!

The footsteps were getting closer; Vin lunged at the door, throwing it open as he crashed into it, causing him to fall to the floor inside the room.

Vin quickly turned on his back, facing the open door, waiting for Apotheosis to go by.

The footsteps grew closer and closer, the vibrating of the floor growing with each step till Apotheosis passed the open door, giving Vin a clear look at the creature.

Apotheosis was huge, standing upright it must have been 9-10 feet tall. It was clad in a black trench coat with claw-like gloves (Why Umbrella gave its creatures Black trench coats Vin has never been able to figure out) and it hefted two weapons with it. On its shoulder was a large cylinder, presumably a rocket launcher. But its second weapon was the most impressive.

When Vin initially saw the weapon he though it was a regular chain gun, but after seeing it go by with Apotheosis he realized it was a Vulcan Cannon, which is normally mounted in the noses of A-10 Warthog jets! This was made even more amazing with the fact that Apotheosis was lugging it in one hand.

Apotheosis disappeared down the hallway, followed by a tremendous crash that was caused by Apotheosis smashing into the far wall, apparently it wanted to leave as well and chose Vin's exit route.

Vin lay there, trying to decipher what he just saw when he remembered the squad, and Wade.

"Wade, do you copy?" Vin asked hurriedly.

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Get in touch with Global Justice; have them get their guys out of there. Something big and nasty is heading their way."

"I'll try to, but I don't think they'd listen."

"Just try Wade; men's lives are on the line. Anything on Kim and Ron?"

"Nothing, but I am close"

Vin started back towards the way Apotheosis went, hoping it cleared the path for Vin, but it also gave Vin another priority stop that he had to make, although it could possibly cost Kim and Ron their lives, it had to be done.

"When you get contact with them, tell them help is on the way, it just might take longer than expected"

"Um, why might it take longer than expected?"

"Cause we're going to need a lot of firepower to bust out of this city, I'll contact you when I get out."

Vin now broke into a run as he came closer to the entrance to the labs, every second he wasted being careful counted now, as everyone was now a potential target for Apotheosis.

Will Du rode shotgun in the lead Suburban as they headed through streets of Middleton noting how much the city had changed.

The city was a war zone, cars were destroyed, buildings burned, several people shambled about the streets in packs of 15-20. It was an eerie sight.

"Eagle's nest calling Red Fox One, do you copy Red Fox One?"

Will scoffed as he hit his mic

"This is Red Fox One, what is it Eagle's nest?"

"This is a priority one order, I need you and your teams to pull out now, you are in grave danger"

The agents in the Suburban, along with Will moaned at the command. They were geared up for this mission and did not want to pull out now before they even got started.

"Repeat that Eagle's nest, your previous transmission was garbled"

"Don't play games with me Agent Du, this is crucial, you don't know what you're dealing with!"

"What? I can't hear you, you're breaking up"

"Goddammit Will! You w-"

Will disconnected the radio; he was GJ's top agent. Being told to abandon a mission was unacceptable to him, besides he was thinking of all the awards he'd get after he completed this mission.

Vin started loading up the duffle bag he found with weapons in the armory, he already pulled another Glock of the dead squad member he left when he first encountered Wesker, and managed to get 3 clips from him as well.

Vin shoved in the bag as many shotgun shell boxes he could, which wasn't a lot; same was for the 5.56 rounds for the AR-15s. He definitely had to make a detour to a gun store to load up on ammo. He shoved two AR-15s into the bag, one for Kim and Ron; he would be damned if he was the only one that was armed in this, he also shoved in two Remington Shotguns.

Vin took a Shotgun for himself and grabbed the combat AR-15 with the attached grenade launcher for his own use.

Satisfied with what he was able to grab he slung the AR-15 over his shoulder and brought the shotgun into his hands, for the remainder of the trip to the motor pool it was perfect for the tight quarters he was going to be in.

Vin headed to the elevator and hit the button for the ground level, silently amazed that the thing still worked, especially since Apotheosis apparently knew how to use it.

Vin arrived on the ground floor, greeted with the sight of the receptionist who was back to life…..well sort of.

"Uugh"

Vin pumped the shotgun, loading the first round into the weapon with the trademarked

Click-click

The receptionist lumbered slowly towards Vin, stretching a bullet riddled arm towards him, her other arm hanged loosely by her side.

"Have a pleasant work day, you bitch!"

Vin aimed the shotgun at the receptionist's head and pulled the trigger.

The shotgun went off in a deafening roar as the buckshot disintegrated the receptionists head and upper torso, spraying blood and brain matter everywhere.

She fell backwards to the floor with a satisfying thud.

Vin stepped over her torso and headed towards the motor pool, glad that he didn't run into any other opposition in route.

The motor pool was as expected, empty. The only sound was the ticking of the lone clock mounted on the wall, which read a time of 4:55.

Click, click

Vin froze, he listened again.

Son of a bitch, that wasn't the clock, those were the fucking dogs!

Vin gritted his teeth as he started scanning the large garage, trying to find the dogs before they found him.

"Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Vin spun to his right, one of the dogs was standing next to the box that contained all the keys to the motor pool fleet.

He ejected the spent round and fired at the dog, which jumped at him the same time he fired. It fell back into the wall and lay there, never to rise again.

Vin heard the clicking of claws on concrete fast approaching from his left. He spun, ejecting the shell and firing at the new threat, sending it sliding across the concrete.

The room grew silent again. Only Vin's heavy breathing were heard.

He ran over towards the box of keys and grabbed one set. Vin pointed the transponder around at the parked Suburbans, when one of their lights flashed.

Vin ran over to the vehicle, which ironically enough was Umbrella Unit 13.

"Lucky Thirteen I hope"

Vin opened the back hatch and tossed in the duffle bag of weapons for Kim and Ron, he then got into the drivers seat, laying the shotgun across the top of the dashboard and wedging the AR-15 between the center console and the driver's seat.

"Wade its Vin, I've acquired a vehicle and am heading to the nearest gun store, and I should be no more than 10 minutes there. Then I head to get Kim and Ron"

"Good to hear, I just re-established contact with Kim and will tell them right away"

"Update me if anything comes up"

Vin slid the truck into drive and sped off into the impending darkness.

Kim, Ron were sitting around the gym, still worried on their position. Behind them Felix, Bonnie, Josh, and Monique were trying figure out what was going on. Mr. Barkin remained quiet.

Beep beep be Beep

That was the sound everyone was dying to hear. Kim immediately activated the Kimmunicator shortly after the last beep.

"Wade! Where have you been and what's going on?" Kim pleaded.

"Long story Kim, here's the condensed version. Umbrella had a containment accident causing the current situation. Good news is that your rescue should be arriving within about 10 or so minutes. Then I'll tell you exactly what is going on"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, within 10 minutes their ordeal will be over.

Just then the door to the gym opened, and four figures shuffled in.

Ron squinted towards the figures,

"Hey Kim, isn't that Hope, Liz, Marcela and Brick?"

Kim looked towards the figures that were slowly approaching them.

"I think so Ron, but why are they acting that way?"

"Like I'm supposed to know!"

Kim rolled her eyes as she started heading towards her friends.

"Then I'll ask them Ron"

I've rewarded you all with…………………ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER!

Damn, laughed out loud again!
