Chapter 6
(Please take it easy on my English. It is my second language.)
Note: The grammar editing is still underway for the following chapterS.
Sherry pulled the triggers for a split second. Both Ganados were shot with over 6 bullets.
Sherry was shocked as she watched the two enemies were only slowed down for a bit and continued to rush toward her.
"They are not normal!" She thought as the two Ganados had already reached her.
Each of them extended out one hand and put on Sherry's shoulders. They tried to restrain her instead of killing her.
Sherry dropped the machine pistol in her right hand. One wave of her right arm, her right fist had hit the Ganado at her right which made him fell onto the ground about 20 feet away. Then Sherry opened up her right fist, and put her hand onto the Ganado's wrist which was holding her left shoulder. Sherry smiled as she threw the Ganado to right like if he weighted only less than 1 pound. In a second, the Ganado flew all the way onto the wall at right of the room which was at least 45 feet away, and he crashed his head on it.
"Oops!" Sherry sighed as she picked up another machine pistol.
The remaining Ganado were stunned for a moment by what Sherry just did. None of them ever thought this teenage girl could be this strong. Then the two shotgun Ganado both opened fire at Sherry. Sherry easily dodged away from where they were aiming at before she fired the two machine pistols again. Only this time she held down the triggers much longer. Both shotgun Ganados were shot for over 15 rounds and they dropped onto the ground dead.
Suddenly Sherry felt some liquid was splitting onto her foot. She looked down. There was a hole on her purse, and the "Las Plagas sample" tube was broken…shot by one of the Ganados' shotgun.
"Oh, crap!" Sherry thought
Then she suddenly realized there was something MUCH worse!
Tom's head was also shot by one of the Ganados by accident. There was blood everywhere around him.
"TOM!" Sherry shouted and she crouched down beside him to check his pulse. There was nothing. Tom was dead!
"You bastards!" Sherry screamed and opened fire again at the remaining 7 Ganados who were rushing at her with axes and knives. She emptied all rounds in both guns and 6 Ganado had dropped dead. The last one's head was blown off, but something was coming out.
An adult Las Plagas's body part was coming out of the headless Ganado's neck!
Sherry widened her eyes as she saw the monster inside Ganado. As the last Ganado walked toward Sherry with the Las Plagas body part waving around above his neck, Sherry dropped the empty guns and picked up the third bodyguard's machine pistol.
She fired again at the Las Plagas parasite above the man's neck. It took over 10 rounds to take down the monstrous guy.
Now only Sherry was standing in the room, with 11 dead Ganados and over 200 unconscious noble guests.
"Wake up!" Sherry slightly kicked the bodyguards on the ground. There was no response.
Sherry kneed down and found more ammo from her unconscious bodyguards. She reloaded her guns and put extra ammo into her clothes. Then she took off two bodyguards' gun pockets and put them on both sides of her thighs.
"I will be back for you guys!" Sherry said to her unconscious bodyguards after she put the two machine pistols into her gun pockets.
"Now what do I do…I blew it!" Sherry said to herself as she stepped over her broken purse which had the broken tube of "Las Plagas sample" in it.
Sherry sudden noticed inside an open briefcase on a cart. There were many more tubes with liquid looked exactly the same color as her own "sample".
As she walked closer, she clearly saw the little eggs inside the tubes. Looked just like the one she had.
"That'll do!" Sherry said to herself and closed the briefcase which was containing over 30 tubes of Las Plagas samples, and she carried it out of the room in her left hand.
"Anyone there?" Sherry tried to reach the bodyguards in the parking lot on her communicator. There was no answer.
As she was walking out of the party room, she heard the sound of helicopters, followed by several sound of something heavy hitting the ground from the sky, and the sound of wall being penetrated. Soon there were automatic weapons' firing, and even a few explosions.
"What is going on here?" Sherry was very confused!
Inside the master's room, the door was suddenly opened. A couple of Ganados rushed in,
"Lord Saddler! We are under attack!"
"What!?! By whom?" Saddler asked with surprise. Now he could hear the weapons' firing and explosions too.
"We don't know. They look like military soldiers, wearing all black, with body armors and gas masks. They are very heavily armed!" One red robes Ganado replied "They have already penetrated our outer defenses!"
"Go repeal them now!" Saddler said angrily "Why are you still standing here?"
"My Lord! I am afraid we might not be able to hold up. We were not prepared for this kind of attacks! Which is why…we have to evacuate your majesty now!" The Ganado in red robes said
"I will take care of them myself! If you useless idiots can't stop them!" Saddler said as he was walking toward the door
"No, my Lord! Your injuries have not yet recovered. We must abandon this castle!" The Ganado replied as he stepped in front of Saddler
"Out of my way!" Saddler extended out one tentacle of his mutated body which looked like a huge snake shape piece of flesh from under his robes and it had penetrated the Ganado in the chest who was in front of him, and then threw him aside onto the wall 30 feet away from him.
As the remaining 3 Ganados followed Saddler walking out of the master's room, at that moment another huge explosion took place somewhere inside the castle. The whole floor shook, and there were small pieces of ceilings falling down.
"Maybe the intruders are more heavily armed then I thought. Perhaps I should have listened to the evacuation plan." Saddler quickly changed his mind due to the situation change
Although he looked fine, but he had only recovered 50 percent after being shot by a rocket came from Leon a few days ago. He was not at his full power yet.
He turned around to ask the Granados,
"Is there any secured escape route left?"
"I am not sure, my Lord. The intruders were dropped off helicopters. And they could be anywhere inside the castle now. We could try to get into one of the cars in the underground parking lot, that room should be safe. And then we could make a run for the gate." A Ganado in red robes replied
"Sounds like a plan. Lead the way." Saddler ordered the Granados
2 Granados walked in front of Saddler, with one behind him. Two of them were carrying axes, the third one had a shotgun.
Sherry was walking through a hall with the briefcase in her left hand, while holding a machine pistol in her right hand. As she was passing a three-way in the hall, a Ganado with a shotgun appeared in the other hall and he fired just before Sherry took 1 step back to take cover behind the wall. The bullets hit the wall behind where Sherry was standing, and the Ganado kept on firing even though all he hit was the wall. Sherry stood behind the wall quietly and listened to the shotgun firing and the sound of bullets hitting the wall. When the sound of reloading started, Sherry stepped out from behind the wall and shot the Ganado's head with her machine pistol.
"You suck!" Sherry stepped over the dead Ganado
Suddenly a door beside Sherry was opened, and a Ganado waved a chainsaw at her.
Sherry easily dodged it and a hit with her right arm on the Ganado's face sent him crashed into a wall.
After a left turn, four more Ganados appeared with axes and knives. All 4 of them immediately threw their weapons at Sherry from over 20 meters away. Sherry evaded 2 axes, and blocked one knife with her briefcase while blocked the other knife with her gun.
"Now what?" Sherry pointed her machine pistol at the four now unarmed Ganados.
If they were normal people, they'd be running away. But they were Ganados!
The four unarmed Ganados rushed at Sherry for a suicide attack.
Sherry lowered her gun and said "I guess shooting unarmed men doesn't exactly sound fair, even though it was your own fault for throwing away the weapons."
As the four Ganados reached Sherry, Sherry waved her briefcase at them. It knocked out all 4 of them with one hit. Two of them crashed into the walls, two of the others were knocked over 40 feet away. None of them was still moving.
"Idiots!" Sherry stepped over them
BOOM! Another explosion, and it was a close one. Because the sound and shaking indicated it was nearby. The walls were shaking, followed by the sound of multiple automatic weapons' firing.
"I have to hurry. Someone else is here. And they are heavily armed!" Sherry thought and she started running
Right after another turn, straight ahead there was a hole on the wall. It must be caused by the latest explosion. Six soldiers in black gas masks, black uniforms, black body armors, black helmets rushed into the hall from the hole. Their outfits looked exactly like the dead Umbrella commandos she had seen in her parents' lab back in Raccoon City, just without the Umbrella's logo.
Sherry continued to run at that direction as she watched the six soldiers killed five Ganados from the other direction of the hall with their MP5 submachine guns. As Sherry was approaching the soldiers, they turned around to face this side of the hall. Now they saw Sherry. All of them turned their guns, and Sherry too raised her machine pistol at them.
"Stop! I am not one of them!" Sherry shouted. She did not know who those soldiers were, but she thought they only attack the insane people who belong to this castle.
The soldiers took a quick look at each other, they were a little confused. Their orders were to wipe out every Ganado, but to capture a few living ones if the Las Plagas sample couldn't be found. Now this cute teenage girl in a pretty party dress with a gun in one hand, a briefcase in the other hand, claimed to be not a Ganado. How strange! They were told that every local was infected, but sure this cutie in front of them did act differently from the other Ganados they just encountered.
"Sir! There is a girl claim not be one of the Ganados. What do we do?" One of the soldiers asked on the radio. No order had mentioned how to deal with this situation.
"ALL people in the castle are Ganados!" Captain of this team replied on the radio "Capture her if you don't want to kill her"
"Yes, Sir!" The soldier answered and said to the other soldiers "Capture her"
"No, you don't!" Sherry heard it and fired a blast from her machine pistol at them before they were able to react to do the same. All rounds from Sherry's gun hit the soldiers in the chests which were blocked by their body armors. They all fell back onto the ground by the impact of the bullets, but they were all trying to get back onto their feet right way. Sherry immediately rushed at them, two light kicks knocked out two soldiers back onto the ground again before they could even sit up. The third soldier threw a knife at her while he was still in a lying position. Sherry slightly moved her head and the knife passed her from the left. She then pumped 10 rounds onto this soldier's body armor which sent him rolling on the ground in pain because the impacts still hurt even though the bullets couldn't penetrate his armor. The fourth soldier who was half standing had fired his MP5, but Sherry dodged his aim. The bullets made a line of holes on the wall behind her.
"You are so bad!" In a flash Sherry already put back her gun into the gun pocket and had her right hand on the soldier's MP5 from the right side. She seized the MP5 easily and knocked it on the top of the soldier's black helmet with only a small portion of her strength. The soldier collapsed and went into unconscious.
The remaining two soldiers both opened fire in a crouch position. Sherry jumped over their heads to behind their back, before they were able to turn around, Sherry hit once on the top of each of their helmets with the back of the MP5. They both were knocked unconscious.
"Bad boys!" Sherry dropped the MP5 and turned around and left the six knocked out soldiers.
The whole fight after the soldier had decided to seize her only lasted less than 10 seconds. Sherry continued to run at as fast as she could through the hall. She tried to find a way get down to the parking lot.
Suddenly there was a sound of rocket launcher firing from the other side of the wall, followed by an explosion which ripped a hole on the wall really close to Sherry. Sherry lifted the big briefcase in front of her face and used it to block the incoming small pieces of walls and the huge impacting of airflows and the smoke.
After the smoke was almost clear, a huge man wore black outfit walked in.
He was at least 8 feet tall and he was holding a rocket launcher on his right shoulder, while carrying a Gatling gun in his left hand.
"This is…a Tyrant!" Sherry was stunned at what she saw "What is really going on here?!!' She still clearly remembered how a Tyrant went after her and Claire repeatedly back in Raccoon City six years ago. Wesker had also shown her lot of information on it.
"L-a-s P-l-a-g-a-s…" The Tyrant spoke out with a deep voice
"So you are after Las Plagas too." Sherry thought
The Tyrant turned the Gatling gun at Sherry and it fired just before Sherry moved out of the way.
Sherry rushed at the Tyrant while firing the machine pistol in her right hand, and she was dodging the Tyrant's aim at the same time. She emptied all remaining rounds into the Tyrant's face and neck. The Tyrant's face was turned into a bloody mess but it was still standing!
Sherry put the empty gun into the gun pocket as she was approaching the Tyrant. The Tyrant's Gatling gun was moving and the laser aiming beam was getting closer at her. She jumped and stepped onto the Gatling gun which was about 1.5 meters high from the ground. At that second, the Tyrant's rocket launcher was used as a stick to knocking at her with full force from the right. Sherry quickly blocked and pressed the rocket launcher on the top with her right hand, the pressing force lifted herself higher into air and she kicked the Tyrant right in the face with full force of hers before she flipped over it. A sound of crashing bone indicated Sherry's kick had broken the Tyrant's cheek bone. The Tyrant dropped onto the ground heavily right on the spot with a huge impact sound like a statue had fell.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Sherry slightly smiled as she looked at the Tyrant lying on the ground.
Suddenly she saw the Tyrant moved its arm.
"Still can move? I am impressed!" Sherry was surprised and she did not have the time for this. She wanted to get to the parking lot as soon as possible.
Not wasting any more time, Sherry turned around and started to run again. Just as her reached the end of this hall where there was another turn, she heard a noise coming from behind. Turned around her head, Sherry saw the already standing Tyrant was aiming at her direction with the rocket launcher, and the laser aiming beam was directed at her.
"Oh god!" Sherry quickly turned at the corner and ran as fast as she could.
A second later a rocket hit the wall at the corner and caused another explosion.
Sherry was able to run over 30 meters away from it, and she was not hurt. She quickly ran pass a few other halls and made several turns. The Tyrant was not following her, and she did not want to stay and fight.
As Sherry passed another three-way in the hall with superhuman speed, another group of soldiers saw her passing. To them, it was only a flash something passed the hall ahead really fast.
"Chopper 2? Chopper 2? We just saw something passed us really fast into the far end of northern hall. It can't be human!" The captain of team 2 said on radio "Fire the rocket at the far end of the northern hall now!"
A sound of rocket fire from the sky, a huge explosion ripped off several walls in front of the hall way that Sherry was in. Sherry was uninjured, but the hall ahead of her was now completely exposed to outdoors.
Sherry ran through the hall at top speed. As she was passing the exposed part of the hall, a helicopter in low air only 50 meters away from the building opened fire with its two Catling guns from Sherry's left. The huge bullets of Gatling guns rip through the walls on Sherry's right, and the aiming was following Sherry as she ran. If Sherry was not running with superhuman speed, she would have been caught up by the pilot's aim and being torn into pieces by the deadly Catling guns' bullets. She stayed ahead of the aiming.
As Sherry finally passed the exposed part of the hall way, another rocket from the helicopter hit the wall behind her. The smoke behind her actually helped her. As the group of soldiers turned around the corner at the 3-way, they could try to shoot at her back but the smoke blocked their view completely.
Not wasting another movement, Sherry made another turn, now she could see the forests at the back of the castle. She decided make a run for it, it was a better idea to use the trees as cover.
Saddler quickly walked through the hall inside the castle with 3 of his Ganados.
After they walked downstairs, he met up with another group of 6 Ganados. Two of them had shotguns, two had axes, one had a sword, and the last one had a chainsaw.
The new group of Ganados joined up with Saddler and moved in front of him.
When they reached a cross-road of a hall, from another direction in the other hall seven soldiers opened fire at them from just 10 meters away. The new group of six Ganados immediately rushed at the soldiers but they were quickly overwhelmed by the automatic weapons' firing. Five of them dropped dead quickly, the last one fired a shotgun shot before he was killed too. His bullets hit nothing but one soldier's body armor and did no damage.
Saddler quickly extended out his tentacle from under his robe, and it penetrated one soldier in the leg and the soldier fells onto the ground. Another wave of his tentacle, it knocked another soldier onto the ground, while he was shot by the screaming bullets of MP5s. Before he could do more, two of the soldiers were taking out grenades …
Saddler did not want to take on some explosions in the face while his old injuries were not healed yet. He immediately turned into another hallway and made a run for it with the remaining 3 Ganados. Seconds later, two grenades exploded behind them.
Another cross-road hallway was right in front of them, the axe Ganado turned around the corner first. Right in front of him a huge 8-foot tall Tyrant was coming his way. The Ganado waved his axe and it cut right into the Tyrant's chest. Without showing any sign of being injured, the Tyrant waved its rocket launcher as a stick and it smashed the Ganado from the above.
As the second Ganado turned around the corner with a shotgun, he opened fired at the Tyrant. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, he emptied his shotgun and the Tyrant was still standing, there was some blood on its body, but it did not look like really hurt at all. The Ganado started to reload his shotgun, and the Tyrant moved his Gatling gun. A laser aiming beam was directed right on the Ganado's chest from the Gatling gun at the point blank range. A second later, the Ganado was ripped into pieces by the hundreds huge screaming bullets of the Gatling gun.
"L-a-s P-l-a-g-a-s…" The Tyrant walked slowly toward the cross-road of the hall.
Suddenly, a huge snake shape piece of tentacle came from behind the corner and penetrated the Tyrant's stomach, and came out of the Tyrant's back, just like the same thing happened to Luis but from an opposite side of the body. As the Tyrant's blood rushed out, Saddler turned around the corner and with a smile on his face.
"You want Las Plagas? You are not worthy its power!"
Saddler's victory was cut short.
The Tyrant was not dead, nor even fell down. Its Catling gun fired again and huge bullets ripped through Saddler's body. These bullets were 10 times larger than the TMP bullets Ada shot Saddler with a few days ago, and the Catling guns were firing them at a 10000 round per minute rate!
Saddler's tentacle was immediately ripped apart by the Gatling gun firing. The Tyrant continued to fire at Saddler as the Saddler's broken tentacle was still inside the big hole on its stomach. Saddler struggled as he moved backwards with both arms trying to protecting his own face. Suddenly another tentacle extended out from under his robes and it grabbed the Catling gun of the Tyrant. Saddler tried to seize the gun, but the Tyrant was not letting it go and it was still holding onto it. Saddler couldn't seize the gun but he was able to slightly move the catling gun to aim at somewhere else other than himself. Huge amount of bullets hit the wall and the wall was ripped open.
The Tyrant stopped firing the Catling gun, and it was lowering its rocket launcher…
"Shit! I hate that crap!" Saddler quickly let go of the Catling gun and turned around the corner and started to run away from the cross-road. His last Ganado followed him.
Very soon a rocket hit the ground at the cross-road. When the smoke was clear, the Tyrant walked toward the cross-road again. There was a big hole on the ground, obviously done by the rocket explosion.
"Thank you!" Saddler suddenly came out from one side of the wall and jumped into the basement through the hole on the ground. His last Ganado followed him.
The Tyrant fired his Catling gun again, but it took a second for the Catling gun to start. Its bullets just missed both targets as they were fired a little too late.
Sherry now had reached near the back of the castle. She jumped out of a window form the second floor. Just as she blasted through the back door of the castle, the team 2's helicopter was right on the top of her and it fired its two Catling guns. The deadly Catling guns' bullets chased Sherry all the way as they hit the ground a few meters behind her. A few seconds later, Sherry was inside the woods on the cliff behind the castle. The trees after trees completely blocked the view of the helicopter pilot.
"Sir! Someone just ran into the woods behind the castle! We can't see anything with all the trees in the way!"
"Blast entire woods! There is nowhere to run, the small piece of woods behind the castle are completely surrounded by cliff and castle wall." Hunk replied on the radio "chopper 1 and chopper 3, go help chopper 2 to burn down the woods behind the castle, now!"
Soon three helicopters were firing rockets after rockets into the trees behind the castle.
Explosions caused huge fire was consuming the entire piece of forest. Sherry was moving through the trees as fast as she could. She did not expect the carpet bombing style. She was just able to reach the cliff and jumped off toward the lake down below, right before the explosions and fire consumed everything behind her.
In the underground parking lot, Saddler and a Ganado were moving through. They saw a Lincoln Limousine with its door open. A few men in black were lying around it. One of them had a key in his hand.
"You drive!" Saddler ordered
The Ganado quickly picked up the key from the unconscious bodyguard of Sherry's, and he quickly started the car. Saddler got onto a back seat of the Lincoln Limousine.
Along the road outside the front gate of the castle, Hunk and his team 1 were in defensive positions. Their goal was clear, to stop anyone from escaping. Suddenly the front gate was opened, a Lincoln Limousine rushed out at top speed.
"Fire!" Hunk shouted
All soldiers opened fire with their MP5s. The 9mm bullets hit the bullet-proof Limousine with absolutely no effect.
"Shit! Bullet-proof, eh?" Hunk thought as the car passed through their position with the speed of over 120 mile per hour.
"Damn it! If we had just one Tyrant in this position, its rocket launcher and Catling gun could have totally owned this car!" Hunk couldn't believe his bad luck. The Tyrants rocket launchers and Catling guns were too heavy for a single human to carry, let alone to operate them well.
"Sir! We still can call in the helicopters to blast that car!" A soldier beside him suggested
"Of course I know! There is only 1 way out of here, and it is 70 miles away from the next road, we have plenty of time. One thing at a time! We'll go after that car later." Hunk replied "With that speed on this little road, maybe they will crash before we get to them!"
"You are right, sir." the soldier agreed
"Report!" Hunk said to the radio
"Sir! We have found no sample of Las Plagas as the briefing described." Team 2 captain reported
"Team 3?" Hunk asked
"We did come across a room where there were over 200 unconscious people. There was a cart with some samples on it." Team 3 captain reported
"And?" Hunk asked
"Someone or something must have trigged a booby trap. The entire ceiling came down on us! We were lucky just to get out of the door in time! Everything in the room was crashed into pies!" The team 3 captain reported
"Pity!" Hunk said "Now listen up all units! Keep searching all rooms! We might have to capture some adults Las Plagas if we can't find any egg sample! Capture a few Ganados alive! And set explosives all over the castle."
About 35 minutes later, 70 miles down the road near the 3-way.
Carlos's mercenaries saw a Lincoln Limousine coming their way from 2 miles ahead with high speed.
"Get ready! That's the car!" Carlos ordered
