The Path Gets Dangerous, Fallen Into A Trap.
A body was blown out the window that Marcus had dove into, and Alexis and Francis had rushed to it. Lucius had disappeared, but they weren't focused on that, they ran to the body and crouched down to get a good look. The body twitched and moved, it started to sit up as it gave a blood curdling moan and lunged for Alexis but a nine-millimeter bullet pierced its skull and it slammed into the ground. Alexis didn't have time to react but realized that it wasn't Marcus that they were examining before hearing Marcus' voice.
Marcus: Y'know, I don't want to have to save you every time a zombie sees you.
Alexis looked over and raised her fist towards Marcus flipping him off, in a joking way of course. Standing up and hopping into the window as Francis followed and literally hugged Marcus patting his back like crazy.
Francis: You scared the shit out of me man, you really did.
Marcus shoved Francis back as he gasped for air. Francis had the strong grip, and Francis was slightly confused before realizing that Marcus had needed air. Marcus shook off the lack of air and cleared his throat as he shifted his head and tilted his head to a man who was packing weapons into bags along with ammunition.
Marcus: That's Nicholas, he's the owner of this shop and he saved my ass just a minute ago.
Nicholai hadn't said anything, just continued to work and get the guns into the bag that they'd need. Marcus shifted his head and looked around now, blinking slightly and realizing that they were missing someone.
Marcus: Where's Lucius?
Alexis blinked and looked around, Francis doing the same as they walked back outside and looked around. The two of them searching the area around and coming back to find absolutely nothing, it was like Lucius vanished into thin air.

Carson
Power Plant
---------------------------------------
Lucius had followed a mysterious looking man, dressed in an S.T.A.R.S. outfit with a blond flat-top haircut. The man had led Lucius to the power plant and picked up a briefcase near a power box as he turned to look at Lucius with an evil like smile on his face. He was wearing sunglasses, at night. For a minute Lucius thought there was something wrong with the guy before opening his mouth to speak.
Lucius: We're getting out of town, you should come with us.
The man held the smile, and shook his head before giving a response.
Male: I don't have to worry about them; I only came to take a few things back. But you…look like someone that could help me.
Lucius: Who exactly are you?
The man chuckled and shook his head yet again, responding.
Male: I have many names, but the best name you would probably be able to refer to me as would be…Wesker. Albert Wesker.
Lucius had felt like something clicked in his mind, this was the Umbrella employee that caused the viral outbreak in Raccoon City 12 years ago. But if this was the Albert Wesker, then he must've been in his forties and fifties yet he still looked as if he were twenty! Soon, however, a grin came across his features; Lucius had always been favorable of power.
Lucius: If so, then how could I help you?
Wesker opened the briefcase in his hand and pulled out a syringe filled with a red and blue-like substance. This would be good to see how powerful the Valkyrie virus really was, and in a quick blur of speed Wesker had been in front of Lucius and handed it to the boy.
Wesker: Lead your friends here, and steal away the gun Marcus is carrying along with the girl as a hostage. Inject each of them with this Valkyrie little by little and step away. And I want to see what happens when their blood types combine with the mutating force of this virus.
Lucius closed his hand over the syringe and nodded; turning and jogging off as he hid the syringe in his pocket. Wesker stood there in the middle of the open area and laughed aloud to himself. Soon, his plan would come together, and he would have the world in his grasp.
Wesker: And I will be a God among men!
He shouted aloud as he let out a long echoing laughter before walking away, into the depths of the power plant.

Office
Building
-------------------------------
Marcus and the others had been forced to retreat into an office building, they ended up finding most of the city grouped up in the office district and simply didn't have the firepower to blow through them. But with Marcus' smart idea to bust down the door; it triggered an alarm signaling every zombie to where they were. Everyone had piled in the building and started pushing things to keep the zombies at bay. Marcus and Francis were holding it closed while Nicholas and Alexis were pushing things to keep the doors shut. Soon enough, rolling chairs, desks, copy machines and other things were keeping the zombies at bay. But it wouldn't be enough to hold for too long as the piles were getting bigger and bigger, and pushing was harder and with more force. Suddenly there was a voice from behind that made them all turn around and look.
Lucius: Let's go guys! There's none of them in the Power Plant!
Marcus had caught a glimpse of what looked like a syringe in Lucius' jacket pocket, it made Marcus understand what was going on. Lucius was going to kill them, and so he pulled out a piece of metal from the copy machine and slid it in the barrel before closing it and running to catch up to Lucius. The gun was jammed so that if it was fired, it would out the back of the barrel, where the holder would be. Marcus had called out to Lucius.
Marcus: Hey! Wait up!
Marcus handed Lucius the handgun and patted his shoulder before taking the golf club from his hands and giving a reassuring smile. Lucius blinked and nodded before running off and the rest of them followed after, soon reaching the Power Plant and entering inside to go to the dead center in the clearing where Wesker and Lucius met earlier. Lucius had looked to Alexis and had moved to her taking her into a headlock and putting the gun to her head as Marcus rose his hand for throwing the golf club. But Lucius pulled the firing pin back and in ready position.
Lucius: Weapons down, or I blow her fucking brains out.
There was faint clapping as feet were clicking against the grating in the ground in the distance as there was an echoing laughter.
Wesker: Hook…line…and sinker.
Wesker had appeared behind Lucius, a smile on his face along with the familiar sunglasses. He stood beside Lucius and started to take the weapons away from the people by knocking them aside or breaking them in half. Luckily he didn't get the ones in the gym bags. As Wesker looked to Marcus and tilted his head to the side, pulling out a syringe and sticking it into Marcus' neck. The liquid was injected into Marcus as Marcus was having what felt like a panic attack. When Wesker was finished he pushed away the gun shop owner and Francis who tried to jump him, just doing it with ease. Eventually walking away and letting out a loud enough call for Lucius.
Wesker: Finish the job.
Alexis broke away and ran towards Marcus, her arm slamming into Lucius' chest and sprinting. Everything happened in slow motion for Marcus as he was falling to the ground, watching as Lucius aimed the gun at Alexis and soon the gun exploded at the back end of the barrel. The shrapnel exploded into his face and there was echoing screaming and pain while Marcus collapsed and hit the ground unconscious. Lucius was screaming in agony as the shrapnel pierced his face and took the needle out, injecting himself with the Valkyrie virus. The gun shop owner had pulled out a fragmentation grenade and armed it, throwing it to the center and creating a large hole in the grating before shouting.
Nicholai: Everyone in the subway!
Alexis couldn't lift Marcus so Francis did, before they jumped into the sewer and made their daring escape into the subway. Falling into the shadows below and unknown what awaits them. Lucius was screaming, the agony taking over him as he was transforming into something. The Valkyrie virus was creating a large blade-like arm through his right arm and his body bulking up. His body was huge almost like what Birkin was with the G-Virus and giving his face a horribly disfigured looking one that revealed his skull in his chest more than his head's position it should've been. The screaming turned into roaring, as the Tyrant had begun obliterating everything in its path and cutting off all electricity to the entire city. Escaping the Power Plant and hunting down the prey that dropped beneath the Power Plant.
A/N: The end of Chapter 3, hope you enjoyed so far. Chapter 4 being worked on soon!
