Chapter 11: Sirens In Sydney
As everybody ran out of the mines in bliss and saw Ada's jeep, Barry told everyone to quiet down as he looked to the northeast... where twin columns of smoke were raising up into the sky.
Ashley gasped and immdiatly got as close to Leon as possible, who held her very close to his body.
"Ada... what's northeast of Cassilis?" asked Sherry, the team's warm feeling that was once there beginning to fade very quickly.
Ada walked forward, but stopping and looking back at the group with sad eyes"... Sydney, the largest city in Austraila... and it's capital, Canberra".
Claire gasped and silence fell over them.
Then, suddenly there was the sound of static and Wesker ran over to the jeep, and pulled a radio from off the seat. After he put the radio down, he turned to the crowd; "Reports are now flooding in from the Australia Police... all of them requesting back up from outbreaks of 'undead civilians'".
Everybody looked around, until Barry walked over and grabbed the radio and smashed the back of it on the jeep. The back broke off and wires poured out and Barry began to work.
"What are you doing!" shouted Ada, but Jill stopped her.
"He was doubling as a radio operator when the... mansion incident occured, he knows what he is doing".
"... So what do we do now?" asked Chris finally.
"We get the hell outta here!" spoke Barry, "I'm trying to pick up the airplane's signal... unforunately, it's harder then-"
Mr. Anderson's voice bursted out of the small radio, "IS ANYONE THERE, GOD DAMN IT!".
Barry quickly pressed the talk button and responded, "Hello!? Mr.Anderson!?"
"BARRY!, LISTEN, UMBRELLA HAS PUT THE INFECTION INTO SYDNEY'S SEWERS! THEY DID THE SAME FUCKING THING AS RACCOON CITY! WE LANDED THE PLANE DUE TO LOW FUEL BUT WHEN WE LANDED OUR TROOPS WERE ASSAULTED AT THE AIRPORT! WE NEED HELP NOW!"
"Sir! We are on our way to-" but the there was a sharp static shock and screams could be heard before the radio went dead.
The team leader nearly threw the device to the ground, but he restrainted himself and put it on his belt.
"And just HOW are we ALL going to get to Sydney?" asked Claire.
Ada let out a sigh, "We are going to have to pile into the jeep... come on" she said, pulling out the keys and tossing them to Wesker, who gladly took them hopping into the driver's seat.
Leon got into the passengers seat and Ashley hopped onto his lap to save space, Jill and Rebecca did the same thing in the back and soon it was a very squished ride to Sydney.
Leon smirked to himself and turned his head around to the back, "What Ada?, couldn't afford a mini-van?" he said jokingly.
Ada laughed and Sherry cut in, "If we had ACTUALLY gotten a van instead of this we would have actually complete filled the van" she said, giggling but stopped when she saw everyone glaring at her and laugehd nervously.
Location: Sydney, Austrila
Time (Military): 15:37
GPS Lock: Kingsford Smith International Airport
Status: Active
Jill swung your arm around the corner of the entrance to the airport, they were just entering the building and they all had their guns at point.
Quickly, yet quietly they scrambled through the empty airport with dead bodies everywhere... soon, they would wake up and be the living dead, all the more reason to get out as quickly as possible and once they reached the baggage wheels they stopped.
Barry pointed to the plastic shreds that hide the over end of the baggage trame, "Ada, Ashley, Wesker, Sherry and Rebecca will go through there and try to find a some fuel to get for the plane while Jill and Claire go and find an empty port and climb out of it and head for the plane. Chris, Leon and I are going to go the air traffic tower and report what's going on down here to any nearby airplanes, we'll tell them that it's not safe to land and try to get them to send the message to other traffic towers... we need to warn the world" he finished and everyone nodded.
Chris and Claire hugged while Jill and Rebecca and Ashley and Leon kissed each other goodbye and they parted their seperate ways.
The group of men walked through the marble hallway as their guns lasersights darted from one area to another.
"Barry... why did you split everyone up the way you did" finally asked Leon, a question that had been bugging him for a while.
Chris grunted at Leon's question, wondering too what Leon was wondering.
Barry knew what he was talking about, and thought that Leon and Chris might need to know this for the future, "I split everyone up from their family and loves so that they wouldn't get emotionally unstable during a fight... last we need is you going after Ashley if she got attacked by a zombie and sacrificing yourself. Not that it wouldn't be noble, but I didn't want distractions...".
As much as this made Leon want to drive a knife through the leader's throat, he had a point... but Ashley was HIS responsibilty, not Barry's!
Chris could feel Leon's tensity and put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry...she'll be fine, from what I've seen, you taught her well".
The blonde haired man nodded but then were was the sound of moaning... and the lights began to flicker before they finally went out.
Barry and Chris immediatly went for their belts and pulled out a flashlight and both turned them on, "We need to hurry..." as all Chris said before they began to move faster.
Soon they came to a door marked, 'Stairwell' and opened it.
There were iron stairs going up and down in the normal way, but then a moan was heard and Barry put his flashlight to the higher areas and a group of normal zombies began to come down, a few tripping as they went.
Leon ran up first and used his knife to take down a few of them, but Chris followed with his pistol and took them down.
After Chris reloaded, Barry took the front and they all ran up the stairs, so far no enemies appearing and they finally got to the top... but froze.
Hanging from the roof... at the top of the stairwell... was a giant spider.
Chris took in a shaky breath and Barry fired five rounds at the creature.
It shrieked and turned around, and sticking out from it's face was about five other mouths and abd large pimples were on it's back. It charged at them, Barry and Leon jumping down the stairs. Chris ducked and rolled, going for his belt and pulling out a small container of a yellow substance and he threw it at the spider.
The scream it released then was not of this world, and it's skin began to peel off, Chris smirked, "Metabolic Acid... gotta love it" and with that he jumped onto the monster, going for it's back.
Leon and Barry had since gotten up and pulled out their pistols, "COVER ME!"shouted Chris and the duo fired their pistols at the beast to distract it.
Chris climbed up to it's back, and pulled out his knife and swung his arm back, aiming for the webbing that was holding him up and let his arm swing forward, cutting it's webbing and jumped off the beast before it could go grab him.
There was another skriek and it fell, not being held up by it's webbing and into the dark ground below.
Leon smiled and ran up to Chris, "Thank god it didn't get around to actually building a home" he said jokingly and the two laughed.
Barry then ran up and pointed below, "More red zombies... we gotta go now!" he said, watching them run up the stairs to their feast.
The trio pulled way from the railing and ran for the door, Leon kicking it open and running, diving and shooting three zombies that where near the computers, splattering blood all over the consols.
Chris closed the door once the three were in and ran to the metal table and pushed it againest the door as Barry took to the radio station.
Leon slowly walked over to the window and called Chris over, "What's up" he asked, looking back as he ran up to the large window to make sure the table was in place correctly.
Leon pointed into the distance... and, in sight was Sydney. The sky was red and black and building were on fire and gunfire and explosives could be heard in the distance.
Chris looked and felt a sting of pain hit him... it really was happening all over again, but he shook his head and looked to the tarmac. On it, the military plane was visible and four men with automatic weapons were firing at zombies as they came.
"Where is Ada and them?" asked Chris to Leon, who just shook his head as they watched the choas in Sydney.
Though, one site did catch their eyes... it was the Opera House that was a very famous building thing the city... and it was ingulfed in flames.
A black helicopter hovered above the city, James Marcus in the back as he looked down at the city, though his sights were on the Opera House. "And so Man's greatest momuments will disappear under the tides of death and destruction"...
