bookcoda: Thanks glad you are enjoying it, the only way more description and elaboration could be added would be for me to give a blow by blow, step by step, shot bye shot story, and I don't think you want that.

Now onto the story.

Chapter 17: Claiming the Samples

11:39 AM, 11th May 1995

They stepped through the doors into the main lab, a high ceiling room, again stark white, with several tables containing test tubes, computers and various pieces of science equipment. One table, larger than the others caught their attention as on it was a large silver case, still open. In the case were several vials split into two compartments, on one side the vials contained the same blue liquid that had been injected into Jason, on the other side were vials containing a green liquid.

Jason nodded when he saw them and muttered to the others, "Blue for the virus, green for the anti-virus."

It was then they spotted Michael, he had his back to them, he had picked up the last vials and had just placed them in the case before closing it. They immediately drew their weapons and aimed at him. Michael froze when he heard the click and turned to face them, glaring.

"You just don't know when to quit." He snarled, Jason returned his glare, "I never quit, especially when it comes to stopping a company like Umbrella, a company that thinks it's so above the law it can do whatever it wants."

Michael shook his head, "Your Father is going…."

"I don't give a damn about my Father, he allows this sort of thing, as far as I'm concerned that makes him my enemy," Jason snapped, "Now, if you hand over that case, I might consider letting you live."

Michael laughed bitterly, "Nice try boy, I know what you're trying, it's pointless, the anti-virus won't work on you."

Jason remained frozen as he heard this; he had been so certain of using the anti-virus to cure his infection that to hear this was like a punch to the gut.

"What are you talking about," He fought to keep the desperation out of his voice, "You, you're lying."

Michael shook his head, "I'm not, the virus, as I said, has bonded with your DNA, as such a mere anti-virus like this, will have no effect."

Jason growled and raised his gun to fire but then a loud crash distracted him. The Ultimate Licker burst into the room and Michael, surprisingly forgetting the case, ran out of the main lab. The Ultimate Licker turned to face them and roared as it prepared to attack. They immediately pulled out their strongest weapons and opened fire before it could even lunge at them. However this only seemed to aggravate it and it lashed out with its tongue, catching Tim by the ankle and pulling him towards it.

"Shit," He growled before attacking the tongue with his sword. He was unable to completely sever the tongue but was able to force the monster to let him go.

As Tim scrambled to his feet the Ultimate Licker roared and lunged towards Seth and Anita, they both dodged just in time, narrowly avoiding its claws. It landed on the wall and gripped it before turning its head around. Its tongue flicked the air as it watched the group. Victoria quickly fired a burst at it from her assault rifle, the bullets struck but it simply dropped to the ground, raced towards her and attempted to strike with its claws. Seth and Jason took advantage of the distraction and opened fire with their shotguns. The force of the blasts stunned the monster and it flinched, allowing Victoria to get away.

The Ultimate Licker then turned to face Seth and Jason and suddenly spat a large glob of poison at them. They quickly dodged, just in time as it struck the wall which began to dissolve.

"Okay guys, we've gotta finish this quick, let's go." Jason called out.

They all used their best weapons and unloaded them onto the Ultimate Licker until finally it roared and leapt out of the window before they heard its heavy footsteps pounding away. The footsteps faded before everything went silent. They quickly reloaded and holstered their weapons.

"What the fuck, this is really messed up!" Anita exclaimed, "Now what?"

Jason glared, "It might not work on me, but, we take the case with us, it'll help us prove what Umbrella was up to…Right now we've gotta return power to the train, and killed that asshole Michael."

Anita wanted to complain but saw the hatred in his eyes and knew it was pointless.

"I'll take the case, and the file too." She said finally, Tim pulled the file out of his pocket and handed it to her. She opened the case and placed the file inside before closing the case again, locking it and then picking it up before regrouping with the others.

Finally regrouped they left the main lab and began to seek out Michael.

The moment they stepped out the lab a pack of five Cerberi attacked them.

"I am not the mood for this," Jason snapped before pulling out both handguns and blasted each dog in the face.

The others watched, worried by this show of temper, however he seemed to calm down.

"We're getting there, the T-Virus infectees in this lab, there almost all gone," He informed them, "I can only sense, five more, one's obviously that Ultimate Licker."

Hearing this brought relief to the others as they realized they were nearly safe from attack. The group continued on through the stark white corridors. Tim then spotted something.

"Hey guys look, over there," He pointed out a door that indicated a generator room, "Think we could return power to the train from that."

Jason nodded, "Let's go," They hurried over when a Hunter leapt in front of them, from behind a Web Spinner dropped down from the ceiling.

Seth immediately drew out his shotgun while Victoria pulled out her assault rifle; she opened fire on the Web Spinner, unleashing a torrent of bullets into its face. As it shrieked the Hunter leapt forward, Seth fired his shotgun, point blank, into its chest. Both B.O.W.s fell to the ground dead and they hurried into the generator room. Sure enough the saw the train controls and immediately Jason got to work powering them up. Just then however another Hunter appeared. It was focused on Jason however so Tim was able to sneak up impale its head with his sword, piercing its brain. It shrieked in pain and lashed out; Anita pulled out her magnum and fired a single shot between the eyes. It too fell dead.

After some time Jason finally straightened up.

"Okay, the train's ready to go, now's we've just gotta kill Michael, then we can get outta here." He said, sounding relieved.

Tim tried to retrieve his sword but it was jammed into the Hunter's skull, he sighed.

"Guess I'm stuck with my gun," He said, Anita rolled her eyes, "Lucky you, I'm all out for ammo for all my weapons."

Jason thought for a moment and then nodded, "Anita, you still remember the way back," She nodded, "Okay good, head back, get the others and get on the train, we'll be along as soon as we kill Michael."

Anita looked shocked at this, "But the B.O.W.s…"

"There's only two left, and neither of them are anywhere near the train or the route you'll be taking. The Ultimate Licker is somewhere north of us, the last one ones in a lab not to far from here. That's likely where Michael is, we'll deal with them both together."

Finally Anita nodded and, taking the case with her she hurried back to the others to escort them to the train. Readying what weapons they had left the rest of the group left the generator room and hurried to the last lab, they knew Michael was inside, they had him trapped.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
