I do not own Digimon or Resident Evil
(Normal P.O.V)
Since the serum was nearby, it wouldn't take long to get there. A zombie approached Sora and tried to grab her, but she shot it in the leg making him fall down and then gave him roundhouse kick in the head, decapitating it.
Getting the serum, she rushed back to Taichi and injected the serum in the already unconscious man.
(15 minutes later)
"Aaah. What happened?" Taichi groaned as he woke up.
"You were bitten by a poisonous snake and fell unconscious." Sora explained as she helped Taichi get up.
"By the way I found this when we were fighting the Yawn." Piyomon said as she showed them the 4th and last Death Mask, the one without a nose.
"Great, now that we found all the masks we should head back to the graveyard." Taichi said.
They took the normal route until they arrived at the graveyard and entered the dungeon.
"Okay, just like last time, stay on guard for anything while I put the masks." Taichi said as he placed, the chains holding the coffin broke and it fell to the floor.
"I'll go check." Taichi said as he looked at the coffin. But before the could give a single step, the door to leave the dungeon closed and a Crimson Head stepped out of the coffin. Taichi and Sora lifted their handguns and shot it multiple times, but it kept moving and rarely did the bullets hit him and even more rarely faze him. He then lunged at Sora who ducked and gave him a kick in the chest which made it stumble backwards. However before Sora could shoot it again, it was already running and tried to claw Taichi, who grabbed it by the wrists threw it backwards and punched it to the floor. Taking longer to get up, Taichi and Sora both shot it in the head.
"Man that was a tough one." Taichi said panting. He then went to the coffin and noticed a switch and a medal. Turning on the switch, the door to leave the dungeon opened again. He then took the medal which appeared to be made of metal and stone.
"So where next?" Sora asked now that they had found all the Death Masks.
"Let's head back to the mansion to see if we can find anything." Taichi said.
As they arrived at the main room, they found a new passage right beside the stairs.
"That wasn't there before." Sora said.
"Maybe it's there now because we found all the masks." Agumon said.
"Let's see what's in there." Taichi said.
As they carefully entered the room the swaw it was a long hall like the ones in which they found Goro and Goburimon and Yawn. As they passed the halls, they found a slot with a medallion shape.
"It has the same shape as the Metal-Stone Medal we just found." Taichi said. He then took out the Metal-Stone Medal and placed it in the slot and a secret passage opened in the wall right beside them.
As they walked through the passage, they found themselves outside the mansion.
"We're finally outside." Sora said sighing.
"Yeah but we still can't get to Odaiba. Those zombies and zombie dogs are all over the forest. If we face all of them we will waste all of out ammunition." Taichi said.
As they walked down the path, they found a signpost with corresponding destinations of each path.
"North: Valley of Destruction"
"South: Cave of Hatred"
"East: Summit of Madness"
"West: Path of Revenge"
"So which one will we take first?" Sora asked .
"We…" Taichi was cut off by a beeping coming from the radio Takeshi gave him.
"Respond…chains…trees…non-exist…awa…in the woods outside the matt." The voice, which belonged to Hiro, said.
"What do you think he was trying to say?" Piyomon asked Agumon who just shrugged.
"Going back to the point, there are some stairs over there that aren't in any of these directions. I think we should investigate that first." Taichi said.
As they descended the stairs, they crossed an open gate into yet another graveyard. Deeper into the graveyard were two larger than normal tombstones.
"Here it says "When the wind sweeps across the earth, stars will shine in heavens". And there is a slot here." Sora said as she knelt in front of the first tombstone.
""When the wind sweeps across the earth…". I think it is talking about the medallion with the wind symbol we found." Taichi said.
"Let's check it out." Sora said as she place the Wind Crest in the slot. The slot then turned around revealing a slot with three other medallions with symbols representing the sun, moon, and stars.
"What do you think we should do with these?" Agumon asked taking one of the medallions.
"The masks were all together, the medallions are probably for somewhere near by." Piyomon said looking at the 2nd tombstone.
"Yup, you're right. There are three slots here." Taichi said placing the Star Crest in one of the slots, followed by Agumon and Piyomon placing the Sun and Moon Crests. The slots then also turned over revealing a Magnum Revolver.
"Take it." Sora told Taichi.
"But what about you Sora-chan?" Taichi asked.
"I still have more shotgun ammo than you do, so take the Magnum just to be safe." Listening to her words, Taichi the Magnum.
"We should take a deeper look into the woods. There seems to be a house there." Agumon said looking a bit far away. They crossed the woods arrived at the small house made of wood.
"Wonder who lives here." Sora said.
"Or who lived." Taichi stated as the group entered the house. There were some candles illuminating the place.
"Hey there is a crank here." Sora said.
"Take it. We never know when we will need these kinds of stuff." Taichi said and Sora complied.
As Taichi, Sora, Piyomon and Agumon entered the next room they received a blow to the head which knocked them out.
A few minutes later they woke up.
"Uuugh, what happened?" Sora asked gripping her head in pain as she lifted up.
"That happened." Piyomon said looking to the side and seeing what had knocked. The zombie wasn't the most grotesque thing they had ever seen anymore. This was. The woman had pale skin with several cuts around her and her clothes were drenched in blood and was crook-backed and had several ripped of faces in the place of her face, as if functioning as a mask and tentacles sticking out of her head and through the mouths eye sockets and noses of the masks. Taichi and Sora grabbed their shotguns and shot the creature several times, some of the shots fazing it. It then tried to grab Sora, who used the shotgun to occupy the creatures hands, and then hit the creature with the shotgun.
"Run!" Sora said as the 2 S.T.A.R.S members and their partners ran away from the abomination, with her and Taichi turning back once in a while to shoot her until they got outside the house.
"Go back to the mansion." Taichi said as they made a run for it back to mansion, with Sora and Taichi shooting the zombies that just appeared in the way while Piyomon and Agumon took care of the Digimon zombies, which were a few. Arriving back at the mansion, they closed the doors as they passed through it.
"Okay, things just keep getting worse and worse." Sora said panting.
"Nothing we can do but keep following the clues." Taichi responded. The beeping from the radio Takeshi gave him then started beeping again.
"This is Jin. S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team respond. I repeat. This is Jin. S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team, Bravo Team, I don't care. If there is anybody out there respond."
"Jin, Jin this is Taichi." Taichi said over the radio but Jin couldn't hear him. The radio was broken.
"Hey, we still didn't check that side." Sora said noticing the new path in the far left.
"We probably didn't notice because of the dark." Taichi said as they went to search the area.
The area seemed like a bridge, and there was a pool full of water on the side.
"Hey guys, there is a pillar with a hole here." Agumon said arriving at the end of the bridge.
"A hole, wait a minute." Taichi said looking at the water and the hole and realization struck him.
"Sora-chan, can you put this crank in here?" Taichi asked.
"I think so. Let me try." Sora said as she placed the crank in the hole.
"Good. Now let me steer it." Taichi said as he took the crank and steered it until it hit a stop. Then an opening appeared in the walls and the water began to be sucked, until the pooled showed a cross-shaped floor with water around it.
"So that's what it was for." Piyomon said.
"Let's cross over to the other side." Sora said. As the team descended the staircase onto the cross floor, they ran to the other side, and grabbed the staircase and climbed onto the other side. Searching deeper into the area, they found an elevator.
"Let's see where it takes us to." Sora said as she and the rest entered the elevator.
Arriving at the destined location, the place the elevator took them was pretty much like the one they were in before, only that this one had a roof, with some holes in it to let the moonlight shine and a waterfall.
"What is this place?" Sora asked.
"Beats me." Taichi said shrugging. As they explored the room, they found a gate which lead to an underground cavern. Entering it, the cavern was narrow so the only place to go was forward. Arriving at the end of the cavern, they found a door. Going inside, the place seemed more like a house than a cavern.
"Be careful." Taichi said reminiscing what happened last time, while carefully walking across the house.
"There doesn't seem to be anything useful here. Let's check the next door." Sora said.
They carefully opened the door, in case another abomination appeared. Seeing nothing, they opened the door.
"Do you guys hear something?" Taichi asked.
"Yeah. Where is it coming from?" Piyomon wandered. Then they all looked up to see a giant spider about 3 times their size right above them.
"Look out!" Taichi said tackling Sora as the spider spic venom that upon hitting the ground started dissolving it.
Sora then took out her shotgun and started shooting at it while Taichi did the same with the Magnum Revolver. The giant spider was soon dead from those attacks.
"Isn't there any end to these things?" Sora asked.
Taichi got up wanting to find something useful to get them out of this nightmare once and for all. He then noticed a red book at a nightstand beside a bed.
"Hey guys check out this book. There nothing in it." Taichi said as he scanned the empty pages of the book.
"That's strange. I'm sure we will figure out what it is for." Sora said and Taichi nodded putting the book away.
Continuing their investigation, the S.T.A.R.S members found a stairs which led too the upper level of that house. Using it, they arrived at the upper level and found a door.
"Let's continue." Sora said as she opened the door to find the house falling to pieces.
"What happened to this place?" Sora asked herself as they walked through the torn apart hall with holes in the floor.
As they walked down the hall, there was another hall on there left with hole and a floor.
"Hey let's see this one first." Taichi said walking down the left hall, careful not to trip or fall down in any holes. However, a tongue all of a sudden came out of one hole and grabbed Taichi by the neck, strangling him.
"Uuuugh!" Taichi grunted as he tried to break free from the tongues grasp.
"Taichi!" Sora exclaimed while trying to help her friend escape from the tongue. Taichi then grabbed his knife and slashed the tongue.
"*Cough* *Cough*, what was that?" Taichi said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't know. You okay?" Agumon asked.
"Yeah, fine."
They then continued to walk down the hall and opened the door.
"An office room?" Taichi said scanning around.
"Seems like it. There are papers everywhere." Agumon said.
"I found some reports." Piyomon said giving them to Sora.
"Plant 42 Report'"
"Four days have passed since the accident. The plant Point 42 is growing at an amazing rate. Although there are many unknown aspects about this plant, we know that in comparison with the other group of plants, the T-Virus has had a substantially stronger affect on this one. The T-Virus has drastically morphed its host's anatomy as well as its size. Looking at its current state, it's difficult to imagine its original appearance. Nowhere on Earth will you find anything like this. We've also found that Plant 42 has two main sources of acquiring its necessary nutrients. One source is through its roots. Somehow it has rooted itself down into the basement. Immediately after the accident, a scientist went mad and destroyed the Aqua Ring. Ever since, the basement has been like a pool. There is a high possibility that it's one of the chemicals in the water that is promoting the Plant 42s rapid growth. However we have yet to determine the specific chemical. A bulb-like body of the Plant 42 has been sighted hanging from the ceiling of the first floor. We are sure that it used the air duets to reach the first floor. Numerous long tentacle-like vines are protruding from the bulb. We believe the vines are the second means of acquiring nutrients. When the Plant 42 senses prey, it uses the tentacle-like vines to capture its prey. After doing so, suckers on the vine drain the pray from its blood. We've also noticed that it has some intelligence. When it captures it's pray or it's inactive, the vines twine around the door to stop possible intruders. Unfortunately, several of our scientists have already fallen victim to this Plant 42. When we heard the stories from the survivors, they all observed one thing in common: When the uniform-like flaps open and reveal its vital internals, it has a tendency to become more aggressive. On witness reported that it was as if it was trying to protect itself. Why it behaves the way it does is still unknown." Signed Saito Jengu, May 21st 2009.
"T-Virus? That must be what turned those people into zombies. But what is a T-Virus?" Agumon asked more to himself than the others.
"From what I understood, I must be some new kind of virus that was recently discovered and the scientists were researching about it." Taichi said.
"Eww, gross!" Piyomon said. The others looked to see what she was talking about to see there was some old books and magazines covered in blood, as if someone had thrown up blood on top of it.
"Anything left here?" Taichi asked to which everyone else shook their heads.
"Then let's go back and check the rest of the hall." Taichi said as they left the office.
