Nanakiyoda: I'm back baby, cha!

Tealraptor: You are just making yourself look like-

Nanakiyoda: Teal! We're not suppose to say those things.

Tealraptor: Says the chick who herself has seemly discovered every known curse.

Nanakiyoda: Long time ago kid. Anyways, I owe it to you guys, so here it is, an update!

Tealraptor: Right...

Nanakiyoda: Excuse me. (Grabs computer monitor and throws it at Teal.) Great...I broke it...oh well. Here you guys go.

The next day.

KAORU

We all stood there, dressed in the same clothes as the day before. Truth was, no one had gone to sleep that night. Lynn arrived in a different set though. Straight legged denims that look to be a bit big on her, a thick belt holding them up. A tight black Invader Zim tee shirt under a white button up shirt. over this, was her usual black pleather trench coat that cut off mid thigh. She had no weapons on her at all.

"So, where are your weapons Miss Lynn?" I asked. Lynn glanced at me and smirked.

"I did some interesting research last night on the latest information. I figured I should try something out. Anyways, I've got a weapon. I just don't like carrying it around on me while in a town full of innocents." She said. So she's got one of her weapon caches near her spot. Makes sense.

"Alright Misao. Go ahead, talk the mayor into some sense. I myself will be right outside, should any trouble occur. The rest of you, I must ask, please go to your spots. I was able to weld three of the eight connection spots shut last night. The cops were called though, so I couldn't do the rest. More infected will come to your way, but we've restricted it from spreading to areas we cannot cover. Here, radios." She explained, and gave us each a radio. Misao was glaring at her, not wanting for Lynn to go with her. Didn't Misao say something about them being friends at one time? Lynn glanced around at us one last time, as if unsure, then lead the way for her and Misao to go to the mayors office.

"Something's not right with that kid. I don't know about you guys, but this isn't all laid out like she's saying." Jill said as soon as they were out of hearing range.

"What is with those scars anyways? They look clean cut and fresh." Claire added.

"Actually, they look like they've had a while to heal, but never actually have." Rebecca stated.

"Just, keep an eye out. The radio has more than one channel, say channel 5 for us?" I asked. They all nodded.

MISAO

She kept walking. This isn't Lynn. This cannot be her. Those scars, she had them the last time I saw her, when she was in college. They looked new then, and they still do.

"Misao...it's been a while hasn't it?" She asked suddenly, stopping. She turned around, with her scarless cheek away from me.

"Yeah..." I answered. Lynn looked at the ground and smiled.

"I'm glad you made it out of Raccoon. That place was beginning to become a hellhole." She said.

"Yeah." I agreed. Lynn sighed and looked at me full face. Her scars were open a bit, blood was trickling a little.

"I'm not going to hide it from you. I've got a virus. Something Umbrella cooked up recently. I was an idiot, and an Umbrella lackey.Two weeks into college, they accepted me into their company and that's how I was able to come across all this information. A month later, they asked for me to participate in a study for the antivirus. I didn't accept. The next night, I was working in my office they had given me, and a creature was set loose in the room. I only had a knife on me, and killed the creature. I was overexhasted though, and passed out. Next thing I know, I awoke with my scars and someone explaining to me that I was part of the new viral strain they had developed. They said it was very different from the rest, in it that it prevented regrowth of cells. They then gave me samples of the T-virus, which brings dead cells back to life. I'm the opposite of all these creatures." She explained. I just stood there, trying to understand all of it.

"So, you cannot grow, and why the virus?" I asked.

"The virus keeps my body from deteriorating. Think about it. Your old cells are replaced by new ones right?" She asked.

"Biology 101, I think." I said, she smiled.

"Well, I don't get new ones. What happens if all your old cells die?" She asked. My eyes widened.

"You die." I answered.

"Right. Well, to prevent this, I have to use the regenative viruses Umbrella created to keep bringing back my old cells. You probably want to know, why I'm doing this...saving this town? Well, one, easy access to the viruses I need and two...I'm still working for umbrella, but not white Umbrella. White Umbrella created the viruses and basically all this mess, while Red umbrella...cleans them up. Believe it or not, there are some good people in Umbrella." She explained. I stood there still again, then shook my head.

"So, that's why you don't take weapons with you? You don't need them, because you need the viruses. This is some crazy shit, you know that right?" I asked.

"Soujiro has the same viral strain as myself, except his is more developed, and cross breed with another virus they recently made. He won't continue to mutate after a while, due to the the NG-virus that I have, but he will get his old cells replaced with his other virus." She added, and then started walking.

"Okay...so, when do you have to get some of the T-virus?" I asked, following after her.

"When my scar reopens." She answered, and stopped. She placed her hand into her pocket and pulled out a covered syringe. Inside, was a greenish substance.

"How is that a way to tell?" I asked as she uncovered the syringe and looked around, slipping into the nearby alley.

"My body doesn't grow remember? Basically, I have the same body as I did when the virus was introduced into my system. They introduced it after the fight with the creature. That creature sliced my cheek open. Those cheek cells died. So, when my scars reopen, I inject myself with the T and they close up, the cells brought back from the dead." I heard her say before stepping back out. Sure enough, her scars had reclosed and the syringe had disappeared. She smiled and started walking again. We were silent for a while then we reached city hall.

"So...thats why Soujiro's scanner said you were seventeen." I said. Lynn laughed a little.

"I'm eighteen now...but yeah...technically, I'm forever seventeen." She answered.

"Soujiro also said that you smoked. Doesn't it suck to get carded?" I asked.

"All the time. I'm quitting though. I don't need to be killing off more cells." She said. We looked at city hall. The building loomed ahead like the gate to hell.

"I'll be right out here. Go on. Channel 3 just between us." She said and gave me a gentle shove towards the building. I started towards it, then looked back.

"What's my address again?" I asked.

"314 Kraiser Lane. Now go." She said. I nodded and headed inside.

KAORU

A manhole. That was my place to guard. I sighed as I leaned up against a nearby building. There was no way I was going to stand near the manhole looking like some crazed moron. Still...it's weird to be in a living city again. How long has it been? I can't remember anymore...actually, the last night I was in a living city, was the night Kenshin stayed with me. I was scared of the gunshots...that was...a lifetime ago. Now I'm carrying my own gun and ready to plaster a bullet into the first infected person I see...strange how things work out.

"Uhnn..." I heard the moan and instantly my hand had shot for my gun. It had been issued from the manhole. Whoa! That was quick.

"Hey girls...I'm having some company come from the underground over here!" I heard Jill's voice crackle over the radio.

"Someone's hungry over here!" Claire's voice came over.

"There's a hand coming out here!" Rebecca's voice echoed.

"Girls...I have them moaning. I think the invasion has just started." I called into the radio, earning the weird looks from the people nearby.

"This isn't good. We don't have the gates up yet. Just, try and clear out the arear from all the people guys. Sewer leak should do the trick." Lynn's voice instructed.

"That's not an entire lie." I whispered, looking at the manhole starting to lift. I saw a parked car and ran over, busting out the window, and hot wired it. Putting it into drive, I parked a tire on top of the manhole. I jumped out of the car, knowing it would hole them up for long.

"What the hell are you doing lady!" A man yelled at me as he ran towards me.

"Sorry sir, but I'm with the department of public transportation. Your vehical is going to be towed for parking in an illegal spot." I quickly answered.

"What! Where in the hell does it say that!" He said, glanceing at the spot his car had previously been. I jumped on top of the car and cleared my throat.

"Ladies and Gentleman, may I have your attention please. The city is have a major sewer leak. We ask that you all go to your homes and stay there until advised otherwise. Also, we ask that you report all affected people to your nearby police officer, and have them escort the affected person to the nearby hospital. The affected people may have bites or scratched that are infected with the leak of chemicals, which are dnagerous to you health and theirs. Do not allow the person to bite or scratch you, as this will transfer the chemical poisons to you. Thank you." I commanded out. a couple of people promptly headed away, heeding my advice. One or two stayed though, shouting angry things. Please, listen to me...I just want you all to make it out alive.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Okay, that was to build up all the panic.

Tealraptor: Raccoon 2?

Nanakiyoda: Maybe...I really cannot say.

Tealraptor: Well, hopefully your next update will be sooner than this one.

Nanakiyoda: It should be.
