Using the rooftops to her advantage, Ada caught sight of where she needed to be next.

"The Quad Tower," she thought. "I'm guessing that's where she's headed."

At the sound of an approaching train, she grappled her way on top of it, startling those inside. However, that wasn't the only thing to surprise them as Ada and the passengers all now looked up to see a low flying plane. Low flying was an understatement, it was more along the lines of falling.

oOo

"This is not going to end well," Leon warned as he found he'd lost all control of the plane.

Helena braced herself for what was to come, seeing the ground closing in fast.

oOo

Ada could only look on as the plane flew right over the top of her before the sound of metal scrapped along the floor followed. A good indication that it had now crash landed. The winds tore through the nearby buildings, one even getting torn off completely. It carried on skidding until finally coming to a halt in a shipping yard.

"All this trouble for the sake of one man," Ada sighed heavily as she raised her grapple gun. "Better to find Carla as fast as I can to end this madness."

She landed on the nearest building to head off in search of her crazy twin once more.

oOo

Claire, Sherry, Jake and Jill had been walking for a good long while now, with Jill taking point just in case of any surprise attacks from the J'avo. She was after all the most skilled of the group, though the other three were no pushovers either.

Jake held back while Claire and Sherry had their catch up conversation, it wasn't exactly anything to do with him as he'd only just met Sherry not too long ago.

"I'm really sorry for leaving you like I did," Claire apologised.

"It's fine," Sherry smiled sweetly in return. "Besides I still would have been taken by the government anyway."

"I know but I really shouldn't have left you both like that."

"You had to find Chris," she shrugged. "Beside's Simmons looked after me well enough, most of the time that is."

"What happened?" Claire now turned serious on her.

Sherry shook her head, wondering if Claire should hear everything or not.

"Did he hurt you, cause I..."

"It wasn't exactly Simmons, much rather those working under him."

Claire looked to her in sympathy.

"They did tests on me, and I mean countless prodding and poking. Most of the time I just passed out."

"I'm so sorry," Claire sighed as the pair now stopped so that the older of the two could wrap her arms around the younger one. "I never wanted to put you in any harm."

Sherry hugged her back tightly, resting her head on Claire's shoulder until the pair finally broke apart again to catch up with Jill, who wasn't really that far ahead of them.

"When all this is over you can come stay with me, got it?"

Sherry nodded with a smile. "I'd really like that."

"We got company," Jake now pointed out as Jill was already aiming her gun at the approaching J'avo.

Jill and Claire gunned most of them down, while Sherry shocked a few for Jake to quickly finish off with his fists. Some of the lucky ones cocooned to then later emerge in a cloud of thick smoke. Even before the smoke or gas had cleared something was propelled their way.

"Look out!" Jake warned as the things projectiles narrowly missed them.

Soon enough they could plainly see just what had been firing at them, humanoid lizard creatures.

"Watch yourself!" Jill shouted as one released the same gas again.

Sherry readied her shock baton as another ran over to her, quickly ducking to swipe at its leg it dropped to the floor to then have Jake crush its skull under his boot. The last went down as Claire got a really lucky headshot on it just as it was about to breathe the gas on them.

"Come on, let's get outta here before..." Jake was cut short at seeing a plane heading right for ground level.

"It's American!" Sherry pointed out as she watched it pass overhead.

"Come on, we should check for survivors." Claire turned back as the plane now crashed not far from them.

oOo

"You alright?" Leon asked with a slight groan.

"Yeah," Helena nodded as she steadily pulled herself to her feet. "I don't know how we keep surviving things like this."

"Beats me, but I'm sure as hell glad of it." He thought as he headed for the door, having to put all he had into opening it as the impact had crushed it a little.

"Helena," he held out a hand for her to take to then drop down onto one of the crates below.

She took it gladly as she followed his directions until they were both back on solid ground.

oOo

Sherry and Jake were now ahead of the pair, and the first to spot a couple stumbling away from the crash.

"Is that..." she pondered as she looked to the pair, picking the man off at thinking she recognised him. "Leon?"

At the sound of his name he turned along with Helena.

"Did she just say Leon?" Claire thought as she hurried over to find said man.

"Sherry?" he turned to her. "You're alright!"

She gave a nod in return.

"I got word that you'd been kidnapped and that Simmons is after you and Jake Muller."

"Simmons is after me?" she asked, furrowing her brows as Jake grabbed her arm to pull her away just as Claire finally caught up.

"Leon!" Claire now greeted him.

"Claire!" he turned to her, glad to see Sherry had the backup she needed as Jill was with them too.

"What is this?" Jake now asked her in private as Sherry pulled her arm from his tight grip.

"That's Leon," she told him straight. "He saved me back in Raccoon City along with Claire."

"Then what's he talking about?"

"I don't know," Sherry half snapped at him, now heading back over to get answers.

"Leon, what do mean Simmons is after me and Jake?"

"Ada told me Simmons..." he was cut off by Helena who spotted something standing on the plane.

"Look out!" she now warned as one of the engines were sent their way.

Leon was torn between jumping out of the way himself or saving Sherry. Jill was quick to push Claire aside, while Jake took care of Sherry. That then left Helena and Leon to quickly throw themselves aside as the engine slammed into the ground where they'd once been.

"Please tell me this isn't another tyrant," Jill now groaned, getting a look from Claire who knew all too well herself.

"Looks like it's Raccoon City all over again."

Leon was just now pulling himself to his feet, Helena doing the same beside him.

"Not him again!" Jake yelled as the bulking behemoth dropped down to join them.

"Friend of yours?" Leon asked.

"He's like an ex-girlfriend that won't leave you alone," Jake sighed.

"Welcome to the club," Leon smiled. "You get used to it."

The six of them now worked together to take on the bulking behemoth.

"You've fought this thing before and you're still breathing?" Helena now asked.

"Are you kidding me? I get a kick out of this," he told her, getting a look from everyone.

"You're not entirely sane are you?" she questioned what was on everyone's mind.

He just gave an amused snort in return until Sherry's shrill cry rang out. Claire was on the things arm in an instant, forcing it to release the younger woman. Jake ran full speed at it, all the while avoiding the gun fire. He skidded across the floor, taking a foot from under the thing. It went down on one leg as they all then ganged up on it.

"Thanks!" Sherry coughed, as soon as she was released.

"Are you alright?" Claire was now fussing over her.

"I'm fine," Sherry smiled at her.

"Claire! Sherry! Watch out!" Leon yelled as the behemoth stood to throw out his claw.

Jake quickly threw himself in the way to then be captured and caged.

"Nooo!" Sherry screamed. "He's taking Jake!"

"Not if I can help it," Leon scowled, taking aim at the things open stomach.

The Ustanak dropped to one knee, his hand on the floor for support.

"Get me outta here, would ya?" Jake demanded as he tried to force the cage open.

Jill, Helena, Sherry and Leon were all by the things back now, pulling the cage door open. Claire was making damned sure he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon until they freed Jake.

"Appreciate the help," he said as he jumped from the things back.

Once they were at a safe distance, they opened fire once again. Soon they came to realise one of the power towers was looking a little unstable and was about to fall. Thankfully due to them keeping the Ustanak down, the tower now fell on top of the bulking creature. Only now the group had been once again split up with Jill now having no other choice but to go with Leon and Helena.

"Is it dead?" Helena asked.

"The bastards indestructible," Jake scowled at the smouldering mess.

"Sherry! Claire! Are you alright?" Leon called out to them.

"Yeah, we're fine." Claire responded.

"Leon, were heading for the Kwun Lung Building in Koochenge!" Sherry then informed him. "That's where I'm meeting with Simmons!"

"Alright," Leon sighed in return. "Listen though, Sherry, until we..."

He was then cut off by a small eruption, forcing the three to go their way while the others took another way.
