Okay the last chapter of this story...yay. I could just combine this with the sequel but I'm not. I'd like to thank laughing-maniac for reviewing. I never knew you were actually nice (death stars fly by head). Well at least she has horrible aim (a grenade rolls to feet) aw flip. Also, thanks to Burningbridges for the awesome review! I appreciate your offer and I think working with you would be great fun.
Chapter 10: An Unchangeable Past; An Unescapable Future
Fiona ran through the door to see her brother standing in front of her. She couldn't stop in time. She ran right into him. They both fell down and ended up in an awkward position.
"Get your butt out of my face!" Fiona screamed.
"Gladly, just as soon as you get your knee out of my crotch." Robby said with a small whimper.
They stood back up and were moving toward the tram when tentacles broke through the wall and blocked the door of the tram.
"What? What's going on?" Fiona asked, not sure what to do.
"I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with your ex" Robby replied while pushing Fiona back.
"What makes you say that?" Fiona questioned.
"Well it could be because he's standing over there with giant tentacles coming out of his body." Robby replied pointing to Seth.
Seth's body had appeared through the doorway. He started to change and mutate. His body became larger and he entered a cocoon state. A few minutes later, he became a giant plant. It had multiple, large tentacles that were attached to the body, a giant bulb.
"Great now my allergies are going to be acting up" Fiona said sarcastically.
"Are you glad you dated him now?" Robby asked while dodging a tentacle.
A tentacle had swung at Fiona but she did a back flip and pulled out her handgun. She had fired at the tentacles, destroying one. She was about to celebrate when it reformed.
"Okay now I regret dating him" Fiona said, ducking from a tentacle.
"Hey Fiona over there!" Robby pointed to an object laying on a wooden box. "I'll keep him busy."
Fiona looked and nodded her agreement. She started to run toward the object but a tentacle had crashed in front of her. The jarring had caused her to fall. One of the tentacles shot acid at her but she rolled back and dodged it. She was now looking at the hole where she had just been laying. The acid had ate through the cement within seconds.
"Robby, be careful! It can spit acid!" Fiona yelled, getting up and again running. A tentacle had made a sweep at her but she had jumped and used it to push forward, giving her less distance to run.
"Leave her alone!" Robby shouted at the plant, shooting it with a shotgun.
This only angered the plant as it wrapped its' tentacles around Robby. The bulb opened up revealing multiple, large teeth. It pulled Robby closer. It was clear what it had hoped to do. It wanted Robby as its' lunch. Robby resisted but another vine just wrapped around him causing his resistance to become useless. He was now only a few feet away from the teeth. The vines had picked him up off the ground.
"They were going to throw me onto the teeth, impaling me!" Robby thought to himself. He didn't want to die, especially not like this. Who knew that the person he hated the most would be his killer or what was left of him.
"Consider this payback!" Fiona yelled. She had retrieved the object. It was a flame thrower. She shot the monster in the mouth with hot flames from the flamethrower. The vines released Robby and he had rolled out of the way. Within seconds the flamethrower was empty but it had served its' purpose. The thing was dead. It couldn't mutate from ashes.
"See what you get when you play with your food" Robby said to the large amount of ash on the floor.
"You do know if it hadn't toyed with you, you'd be dead?" Fiona asked trying to measure his sanity.
"Oh right. Well I guess I'm thankful for that" he said letting out a small chuckle.
"Yea that's my brother all right. He was never sane so I don't really have to worry about that." Fiona thought. She smiled and started laughing.
"What's so funny?" Robby asked. He was confused, well he usually remained that way, but today he was really confused.
"Oh it's nothing" Fiona said, still laughing but it was interrupted by the sound of an alarm and a recording.
"You have a certain amount of time once you enter the tram to get out of here before everything self-destructs." The recording said.
"That can't be good" Robby said, pointing out the obvious.
"Well it said once we enter the tram. We can just sit out here and rest for a little while." Fiona replied.
"GET IN THE TRAM NOW!" The recording had shouted.
"Yea maybe that's a good idea" Fiona said, slowly backing up.
"I agree" Robby said also backing up toward the trams' door.
"Thank you for your cooperation and have a nice day and try not to die after making it this far!" The voice said warmly.
"That was odd" Fiona, now being the one pointing out the obvious, said.
"Yea but let's not question it. Let's just get out of here." Robby replied.
The two entered the tram and heard the voice once again only this time warning them of how much time they had left, which was five minutes. Fiona ran up to the controls of the tram. She began flipping switches and hitting buttons.
"Do you know what you're doing" Robby asked Fiona suspiciously.
"Of course I don't. I've never operated one of these things but would you rather die without trying?" Fiona replied.
"No I'm good. Keep up the good work." Robby replied. He sat down in one of the seats.
Fiona continued hitting buttons and flipping switches until she finally pulled a lever. This caused the train to move. It took about a minute to get it to work and then another minute for them to arrive at their destination.
"Less than three minutes, Fi." Robby said rushing down the corridor that the tram had put them in.
"I know that Robert" Fiona replied sourly. He knew she hated it when people called her Fi so she decided to call him Robert. "We're almost there. Just through this door."
They ran through the door. The room was mostly empty but what was there was a treasure trove. There were two motorcycles with the keys in them. They checked the gas in each and decided that this was the best luck they had received all day. The siblings got as far away as they could before the lab and tram could explode. Even though they were far away, debris had fell down on them nearly causing Robby to wreck.
A Few Hours Later in a Cheap Motel Room
"Raccoon City has been literally wiped off the map after the nuclear powerplant had a meltdown. Rumors of Umbrella being the cause of this have been dismissed. May we remember the citizens of Raccoon City."
"I can't believe they eradicated the city. I hope Jill and Carlos got out." Robby said while turning the tv off.
"It was probably their only option to keep the virus from spreading. A nice coverup though. Most people won't doubt Umbrella now. Not without proof." Fiona responded. "Would you like some coffee?"
"Sure why not." Robby replied. He was tired but he knew if he fell asleep he would just have nightmares about those creatures.
Fiona went over to the sink and put some water into a kettle and put it on the stove.
"So Fiona, how did you become a researcher for Umbrella and then a soldier? I've been wondering that since the hospital." Robby asked sitting up.
"Well it's a long story but I guess I'll tell you. After Mom and Dad died in the accident when I was 12, I buried my grief in school work. Before I knew it, I found myself excelling and skipping grades. At the age of 14, I graduated from high school and started college soon after. Little did I know the college I went to was used as a place to recruit new researchers and scientists by Umbrella. At the age of 17, I graduated at the top of my class. I soon started doing experiments and that's when I met Vanessa. Together we worked our way to the top of Umbrella. I would have told you but you disappeared shortly after our parents death and only left enough money for a few months bills." Fiona said, stopping to take a breath.
"Yes and I'm sorry but I had to get away. Well anyway that explains how you became a researcher but what about the soldier part?" Robby asked.
"Well that was mainly accident. I used to get bored in my free time, although it wasn't too often I got any spare time, so I decided I'd learn some basic combat and before I knew it I was one of the best." Fiona said with a small laugh.
"Fascinating" Robby replied.
"What about you. How did my screw up of a brother become a secret agent for the government?" Fiona asked, although she still had trouble adjusting to the idea that Robby was a government agent.
"Well after I left Raccoon City, I traveled for awhile until I ran out of money. I needed a job so I applied for a job as a police officer. Shortly after being on the force, I received a call from the government telling me that they had been watching me. They said I had raw talent and asked if I'd be interested in working for them. After a few jobs and some paychecks, I came back to Raccoon City. Then, when the accusations that the S.T.A.R.S. members had made about Umbrella got out, the government assigned me to keep an eye on the city and Umbrella. I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I was sworn to secrecy and I say Umbrella wouldn't have liked it much that your older brother was working for the government and watching them." Robby said, leaning back on the dirty sofa.
"If you were such a good agent, how come you shot Jill Valentine in the leg?" Fiona asked.
"Well I was trying not to blow my cover so I just randomly shot at things" Robby replied, blushing. "It wasn't one of my best ideas"
"As hard as it is to believe, it wasn't your worst" Fiona replied laughing.
"Very funny" Robby replied, throwing a pillow at her.
"Coffee's ready." Fiona called out from the kitchen.
Fiona had poured the hot water into two cups and fixed the coffee. She slipped two pills into one of the cups and handed it to Robby. She then took a sip of her coffee. Robby was still sitting on the sofa. He drank large gulps at a time.
"So brother, are you going to arrest me?" Fiona asked bluntly.
"If you weren't my sister then yes I would, but no that is if you help me prove that Umbrella was behind this and stop them." Robby said, finishing his coffee.
Fiona sat silently, taking another sip out of her cup.
"Uugh!" Robby muttered, grabbing his head in pain.
"Don't worry. That's just the sedatives taking affect. You'll be fine." Fiona said calmly, standing up and putting her cup on the dusty counter.
"How could you!" Robby yelled, still holding his hands to his head.
"I'm sorry Robby but I can't let you destroy Umbrella. I've worked too hard to see it all end now. I'll do whatever it takes to protect Umbrella." Fiona said. She bent down and kissed her brother on the forehead. "I really am sorry. Please forgive me."
Robby had swung his fist at her but she easily dodged it. The sedatives were taking affect fast. The last thing he saw was Fiona leaving before tilting over and going into a deep sleep.
"He was angry and tried to hit me but it's not like I can blame him. I did just drug him after all but he'll be fine. I know the time will come when I have to make my decision. Abandon Umbrella and help stop them or help them, forcing my to kill my brother." She thought to herself, battling the conflict that raged inside her, as she got on the motorcycle and rode off.
End Chapter 10
Fiona: How did my knee end up in his crotch if his butt was in my face?
Author: Like I said it was an awkward position.
Fiona: Right...well the last chapter. I guess we'll just go off and disappear somewhere.
Author: Wrong (while holding up a contract). You signed a contract. You have to do a sequel.
Fiona thinks for a minute. Fiona: Hey that's not fair! That's when I got drunk with Seth and we...(trails off)
Robby: You got drunk and what else?
Fiona: Hey Seth's dead so it's all good.
Robby: Tell me!
Fiona: Sorry we've taken up too much space already. Maybe some other time.
Robby begins chasing Fiona.
Fiona: Hey look! It's Jill!
Robby: What? Where? (Fiona then runs off while he's distracted.)
I figured I would do that again just for the fun of it. Anyway this is the last chapter so I hope you enjoyed it. Leave me a review and tell me what you thought of the whole story...this is the most important review! My life depends on it! Naw but seriously leave me a review and tell me what you thought. Maybe I can make the sequel better that way. Speaking of which, the sequel will be up within a week...it could be up today...or tomorrow...or the day after that...or (Fiona knocks me out with a shovel then starts digging a hole)
"Stupid contract" Fiona muttered.
"Enjoy the story and happy Halloween" Robby said enthusiastically.
"Wrong holiday" Fiona said.
"Um Christmas?"
"Nope"
"Easter?"
"Nada"
This goes on for 30 minutes.
"I don't get it. I've said every holiday...three times.
"Here's a hint. Some people celebrate it and some don't plus it has to do with fireworks."
"Oh. Duh! It's Hanukkah!"
"I refuse to do a sequel with him! I'm calling my lawyer!"
