Chapter 7: Forced Retreats
Ashley walked with the group down the tunnel, she had since mvoed to the back of the group and she kept her eyes down. The sting of the hit still pulsed through her face, she knew it was an accident, but she also could feel that Leon subconsciously wanted to do it.
Jill and Rebecca on the other hand kept looking at the two back and forth as Wesker held front and Sherry held the back vanguard... though Rebecca stayed close to Jill, she felt like something was missing right now.
For the first time, Leon looked up at Ashley and he had actually just noticed the attire change... and she looked... for lack of a better word... sexy! Though, he kept the feelings inside... he wanted to apoligze, he really did... but now wasn't the time.
Soon they came to a two way ending, "What now?" asked Ada, turning to Barry.
The man just looked at the two entrances, "We split up... and meet back here in 20 minutes" he said, pulling out his PDA and setting a time limit.
"How are we going to divide up the teams?" asked Sherry
"I-" Barry stopped his instructions when he suddenly felt the ground shake and church bells ring.
Leon ran to the front, "Screw that, I was wondering why no one was around; these people are very religious and probably just finished there weekly mass service, they will be swarming around here in no time..."
"He is right, we have pick now!" said Ada, pulling out her pistol.
"DEMONS!" shreiked what sounded like a women's voice, and they turned to see a black robed women in the left entrance.
"Too late" shouted Wesker as he saw her pull out a grenade and throw it.
"GO!" shouted Ada and everybody quickly chose their tunnel and ran.
(Frame Freeze)
Ashley screamed as the floor beneath her gave way and she fell below into a dark crawl space.
Claire and Sherry dived into the right tunnel and rolled as the force of the shockwave rolled there bodies on the dirty and rocky floor down the tunneled corridor.
Jill, Rebecca and Leon were blown back into the way they came except they went at an angle and smashed through the left side of the wall and into another dug out room.
Ada and Wesker ran to the left tunnel area and both ran and kicked the women as the explosion triggered and Wesker planted his feet firmly on the ground, summoning all of his strength and held onto Ada.
Barry ran after Ada and Wesker, intent in not letting them go on their own and as the grenade triggered, he was blow forward and grabbed onto Ada's high heels as he went by.
Chris continued to stare at the women, then turned to his left to see what looked like a loading screen on a computer and walked over to it, reading the writing.
'Data loading' was written all over the screen... but from what he could tell, they were loading all of 'Alice's' memories... though, before he could do anything further, he heard the loud sounds of church bells and decided that right now would be the best time to go. He checked his pistol and quickly ran out from where all the machines and computers were to see two exits. One was at the end of cavern near the shore, close to where he had come from but he suddenly saw shadows coming in.
He turned to see were the small pond of water was to see a small staircase going up the wall, "We have a winner" he said to himself as he broke into a sprint up up the stairs.
"INTRUDER!" shouted a man, as Chris continued to ascend up the stairs and he pulled out an automatic and started to fire. Chris ran, ducking his head down more and finally reaching the top and running through the dug out hole.
Ashley opened her eyes when the ground stopped shaking and looked around... she could feel her feet... but her upper body was stuck under some rabble and she couldn't move.
Doing her best not to panick, she tried to move her left arm... unsuccessful. She then tried her right arm and felt the rocks jimmy around it so, she took in a breath and yanekd it out.
Then suddenly, an idea hit her and she reached down into shirt with her free-hand and from inside her bra pulled out a blue lighter. 'Bras... a girl's safe place to hide away things' she thought as she flicked the back.
Only sparks came... them more sparks, and there was a flame. Ashley laughed and looked forward, only to come face to face with a Licker. She screamed and it screamed back before pushing it's tongue out and wrapping it around her neck.
She moved as much of her body as possible, struggling but then she noticed that the monster was stuck too, but his tongue was twisting around her throat. Screams continued to echo in the small space, then she felt two warm hands wrap around her legs and tug and she suddenly felt her small body fly out of the wall.
Chris continued to run down the tunnels until he came to what looked like six separate tunnels and crates and barrels were everywhere, though... his hearing picked up what sounded like... muffled screams and he ran in the direction of it.
Soon, he came to a very odd sight... he saw two legs kicking in every direction. He looked closer to see that on one of the boots on the legs was a knife, immedialty he knew it was Ashley, the only girl inexperienced enough to where a knife there.
He ran over , put his gun away and grabbed her legs, stopping them from swinging around and planting his feet firmly on the ground before yanking as hard as possible only to feel the girl fly out and a blur of red.
Whatever it was, it had something on Ashley's neck but it let go as it flew though the air and smacked into the wall.
As soon as it hit the wall and fell unconscious Chris got a good look at it knew it was a Licker and ran over and brought his left combat boot down onto his mushy head.
In disgusted, he pulled his left foot up and shook it, "Damn it!, I JUST got these".
Ashley felt dazzed from what had just happened, the shock, the struggling, and yank. Though, as soon as she heard that fimilair voice she shook her head and turned to look at...
"CHRIS!" shouted Ashley, running over to him and hugging him tightly. "Me and Claire and Rebecca and Jill and Barry were all she worried about you!" carried on the girl until Chris hugged her back and the two let go.
"What happened!" demanded the girl
"Look... I've found some very, very valuable information... but need to get out of here now, did you guys find Leon... speaking of which, were is everyone!?" he asked, afraid of the answer.
"There was an explosion... and we all got seperated" said Ashley, regret coming across her face.
Chris looked down and grunted, but then looked at Ashley, "Okay...we go to find them" he said, then pulling his pistol back out.
Wesker, Ada and Barry all managed to survive the blast and after the shockwave went Ada hit the ground along with Barry.
"Damn... and just when you think you got rid of them" said Wesker bluntly.
"You aren't gonna lose me that easily, cowboy" he said, getting up and dusting himself off.
Ada let out a sigh and fixed her heels before picking up her pistol which had fallen out of hand, "Let's just get out of here" she stated as she turned to see a sloping path and walked over. "We go this way, come on" she shouted, putting her feet forward and beginning to slide down, followed by Barry and Wesker.
Once they reached the ground, there was shriek and a hunter appeared. Ada ducked down as it swerved it's claws at her and quickly kicked her feet up into it's chin, knocking it back.
Wesker pulled out his desert eagle and shot two rounds into it's head and caused it to explode and blood splatter everywhere. "Uranim tipped bullets... they explode on impact" and he swung his pistol around and put it back in it's holster.
Then, a yell came and gun fire lit a hallway close by and Barry reconigized it as Claire and took off toward it.
Ada and Wesker exchanged looks and ran after him, after all, better to have three people then two... even if the two always went solo. Right now, Umbrella was back and they were willing to sacrifice their comforts to bring that bitch down.
"I'm running low!" shouted Sherry as three Red Zombies ran at her, her automatic pistols tearing there flesh off.
Claire and Sherry had blown down a steep hill and had goten up to find an army of red zombies coming at them, they had ran and gotten to a storage room, but the zombies came from both sides of the hallway before they could get in.
The brunette kept firing as they ran at them, a few jumping, "We need to get in there!" she shouted over the moans and gun fire.
Barry came to this and two of the zombies turned around to greet him, he pulled out his pistol and fired but soon they were entirely averted to him.
Ada and Wesker soon arrived, the two looked at each other and Ada ran forward and pulled out her grappler and fired it, hooking into one of the electrity cabels hanging above and swung in, kicking a few of the them out of the way and landed on the other side of them and ran for the storage room door.
Wesker stretched and flexed his muscles before running at the horde like a rhino and grabbing Barry before plowing through them and coming out the other side and put Barry down and ran for the three women.
Claire covered the over end, "Barry! boy is it good to see you!" she shouted as she reloaded her pistol.
"We can talk later, concentrate on what we are doing now!" she yelled, "Wesker, the door!".
Wesker smiled and walked over, and with a swift kick the metal door fell and they all ran in.
Barry looked around, then something flat and shiny caught his eyes and he looked up to see a hatch in the ceiling, and luck would have it, a stair of crates was built up. "There!" he said, pointing to it.
"Good eye" compliemted Ada, and grabbed one of Sherry's automatic pistols and fired. The metal seal went up into the air and the five ran to the crates, climbing as the zombies entered.
They all managed to climb up and get out, and once they were up, Ada looked around... they were in the second attachment to Leon's cell.
