The Subway Tunnel Massacre

The dripping water from the hole in the ceiling had landed in Alexis' auburn hair and face, landing gently on her cheeks. There was a drop that landed on her eyelid and that woke her up, pushing her body up somewhat to a sitting up position. It wasn't until then did Alexis realize that her body was screaming in pain, holding her arm slightly and picking up the M4 assault rifle which had landed beside her. Alexis guided the rifle left and right, her hand shaky but she saw Marcus laying on the steel tracks, Francis leaning against the wall slightly as if he were sleeping against it, and Nicholai was laying on the rocks and steel grating that had come down from the hole Lucius made. Alexis let out a groan as she struggled to pull herself up to her feet, doing so and limping over to Marcus and rolling him onto his back slowly. She moved his flame red hair out of his face and slid her hand down to his neck and felt a pulse. He had one; it was still strong, meaning he didn't die from that injection Wesker gave him. Alexis had stood up, moving to Francis and checking his pulse as well, it was strong. Alexis moved to Nicholai and felt his, same thing. They had strong wills, which was for sure. Marcus had stirred slightly as he sat up on the tracks, holding his rib cage and looking around somewhat, it was a faint screeching noise that woke him up that seemed to get louder and louder. Nicholai and Francis woke up as well, hearing it and wondering what was going on, as they looked left and right but to their left was pure rock and rubble and that's where it sounded like it was coming from. Francis spoke groggily and Nicholai followed up then Marcus.

Francis: Who's screaming?

Nicholai: Someone's got a horror movie turned up too loud.

Marcus: But it sounds like it's along the tracks…

Marcus had pushed himself up as his eyes widened and he looked to his right, it was ear piercing now as he saw Alexis standing on the tracks. Marcus cursed and let out a shout.

Marcus: GET OUT OF THE WAY!

And Marcus hauled ass, grabbing hold of Alexis and jumping to the left, and after two moments, a train crashed through the rubble and kept on going even if it was on fire. The whole engine was in flames, and it had caught Marcus' jeans on fire. Marcus slammed into the ground and felt this piercing pain as he saved Alexis, looking down at his jeans and putting it out with his hands and letting out a heavy exhale. He would lie back as Francis had been panicking and leaning back against the wall, Nicholai had rolled off the pile and onto the ground behind the rubble for protection. Alexis, who was in shock this entire time, had been recovering from the pain she had in her body as she took a stand and looked through the rubble and looked to the guys.

Alexis: Let's head this way, I think there was an exit back this way.

Marcus got up and opened the bag of weapons and took an assault rifle that had a flashlight attached to it, turning it on and telling Alexis to wait. Marcus moved forward and heard a lot of bloodthirsty groans, shining the flashlight down the tunnel he saw about…two…to four hundred zombies. Marcus lowered his assault rifle.

Marcus: Oh…shitfuck.

Marcus turned and hauled ass back the way through the opening in the rubble and down the way shouting.

Marcus: RUN!

Francis, Nicholai, and Alexis blinked moving to the rubble and shining their flashlights at the zombies who were slowly making their way to the group. There was silence between the three before they turned and started running behind Marcus, ignoring the stabbing pain that was piercing their skeletal system. They moved faster and faster down the way and ran past some zombies that were on the next train station platform. They ignored that exit and kept going down the way, slamming the butt of their assault rifles into the zombies that got in their way. Eventually they slowed down in the middle of darkness as they were breathing heavily, sitting down and leaning against the right wall of the subway tunnel. Marcus wiped some sweat that was trying to make its way into his mouth, cursing slightly as he looked around and saw pitch black in both directions, but a faint light from the direction they just came from. Probably from the train station platform. Francis had been sitting down and shook his head letting out heavy breaths before feeling the faint thoughts of giving up.

Francis: We're not gonna make it out of here…are we?

Marcus looked back to Francis before down the train to the right, it was a wonder where that train went. There wasn't a—

CRASH! BOOM!

The train must've finally slammed into a wall and let out a loud explosion, Nicholai cursed under his breath though it was impossible to tell what it was.

Nicholai: It's time to move, if we don't they'll come and eat us alive.

Alexis nodded, looking down the hall and was walking right behind Marcus, following her was Francis who was followed by Nicholai. And Marcus halted as he saw a maintenance tunnel entrance and jogged to it. The other followed but he made them wait at the bottom of the small set of stairs that led up to it, he took the assault rifle and aimed at the door before opening it. Dead silence and darkness as he took a step in, then there was a loud screech of a beast and Marcus suddenly flew out of the door and onto the tracks. There was a large pink beast thing on top of him, and the trio had aimed at it. It looked all flesh, it had no eyeballs and large claws, and one VERY long tongue. The three opened fire and blasted about five to ten rounds in its head and twenty in its torso as it collapsed and off of Marcus before it could scratch him. Marcus sat up and pulled himself away from it as he let out heavy breaths and looked back at them.

Marcus: Overkill much?

Marcus pulled himself up and dusted his clothes off, cursing and continuing down the path and there was a sound of a male screaming down the way.

Voice: SOMEBODY! HELP!

Marcus and everyone looked at each other before hauling ass down the way, and they came to a large beast thing that they realized who it was. Lucius in a horribly misfigured form, he was bulky, tubes running through his body and had a large eyeball on his arm which looked like a giant disfigured blade. Marcus screamed to the fallen male as he started firing at Lucius.

Marcus: GET BACK! GET AWAY FROM IT!

Lucius' large eyeball arm looked at Marcus who cursed, he ran forward and the fallen male had scrambled to get away while Marcus seemed to start running faster than normal and unloaded his clip into it. He ejected it and slammed a fresh clip as the full automatic fire took its effect but that problem was answered. Marcus looked back as Lucius fell from all the fire, out of breath he started speaking to the group.

Marcus: Alright, we've at least got an exit, get on the platform and let's get…

Francis: MARCUS BEHIND YOU!

Marcus didn't have time to notice that the blade arm that Lucius had was rising, and as Marcus turned his head he felt the blade pierce his back and go through his stomach. He had a beast's arm through his body and he felt blood pour out of his lips and he looked to them and managed to say out.

Marcus: …Go…

Alexis had been screaming and nearly crying, Francis and Nicholai got her and the other guy out of there as Marcus had started shooting Lucius with what he had left, unable to see properly and felt his body fly through the air and slam into the station wall on the opposite side of the exit. Marcus cursed as he saw Lucius moving to go after the others and distracted him with the last of his clip before switching to his Beretta. The others escaped the firing without hearing anything else and making their way down the road and getting out as quickly as possible. Eventually coming to the tram station and hiding in it, Alexis in shock as Francis was silent, Nicholai as well before the new guy broke it.

Male: …I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me…

Francis shook his head, helping console Alexis as he looked to the guy.

Francis: He died…trying to save us, let's not make it in vain… Nicholai, start the tram and get us out of here…

Nicholai had nodded, moving to the front of the car and pushing a couple of buttons before slamming his fists down against the console. He opened and took a look at the engine, punching it and it started, the tram making its way for their next destination, the Clock Tower. The male introduced himself as Steve Archer, sixteen years old; he'd been through this kind of situation before, but not with the Tyrant. In fact he was with the Spencer Mansion incident at the outskirts of Raccoon City, when asked why he was around here it was because he wanted to get away from the horrible memories. But it didn't seem to work so well. There was a loud roar and a crash from the car behind as Nicholai went to the back to check it out, a sudden shout as before anyone could do anything, a grenade went off and took the entire back car out. It was probably because of the large amount of fuel that made it explode. When Francis ran to the controls and saw they were picking up speed, he hit the brakes.

Francis: No good! The brakes are out!

Francis hit the emergency breaks and eventually felt his body jerk forward, the tram falling off the tracks at just the wrong time. The tram jerked off the tracks and slammed on its side, rolling down the hill they were on. Alexis had been knocked out cold by her head slamming hard against a pole that supported the structure of the tram, while Steve hit the ground and eventually the tram slid to a halt in the middle of the street. Once again, the survivors were out cold.
