yay! chapter 2 finally! here, Oceanna and Nate arrive and are introduced to their friend's new partner. they agree with ayla that something is off, but no one knows what? will they discover whats wrong? read on and find out. as with last time, i have no one to proofread/edit so please no grammar Nazis in the reviews thank you. now, ON WITH THE STORY! also, this chapter has been tweaked.
After the trio entered base camp and were debriefed, Ayla returned to her tent to place a call.
"hey Oshi? it's Ayla. I was wondering, sense i just finished my mission, if you and Nate wanted to hang out or something?" she paused." oh it was nothing, just a retrieval mission." another pause. "ok that's great! i'll call Nate and then we can meet here." a pause. "yeah. i realize it would be faster to go online to our group chat, i just felt like calling and slightly forgot about it. well, i'm going to call Nate so talk to you in a bit. bye" she hung up. she sighed. she felt someone behind her and turned to see Piers standing in front of her tent.
"was that your friends?" he asked.
"yep." Ayla replied. "Oshi's on board with visiting, but i have to call Nate." with that, she flopped onto her bed and dialed on her phone. she waited a few minutes as it rang when the line was picked up.
"hello?" the other person said. it sounded like they were whispering.
"nate?" Ayla asked.
"oh Ayla!" nate seemed relieved. "i have a problem."Ayla sighed.
"umbrella or the government?"
"it was umbrella." came the reply.
"which one?" ayla asked.
"the one closest to my place." nate said.
"i told you it was a bad idea to live there."
"yeah yeah you can taunt me later. now will you come help me?"
"ok." ayla said. "I'll be there in a few." she paused. "oh! and when i get you, do you want to hang out with oshi and i?" there was a pause on the other side.
"sure. sounds great. well," sounds of running could be heard, "they've found me so i have to go. see you in a few?"
"yeah. see you when i get there. bye" Ayla hung up and turned to Piers. "I'm going to pick up my friends and no you can't come" Piers looked like he was going to protest but Ayla beat him to it.
"i want you to be safe. I've dealt with this stuff before, you haven't. and i'm not telling you where im going so you can't tell HQ about it. i don't care if you're captain, i'm going to help my friends." with that, she walked out, and started twords the umbrella base. when she got to a place where no one was watching her, she shifted to her tiger form. (A/N: its a result of the experiment. oceanna and nate can do it to with there respected animals) she started running twords where nate lived. he lived about two citys over so it would take her a day or two to get there.
~~~~~~Timeskip brought to you by Ayla slashing at the screen~~~~~~
when she got to Nate's place, as expected, no one was there. Ayla grabbed an apple and continued on her way to the umbrella she got there, she stole someone's extra lab coat and key card. 'amazing what people leave lying about.' She mused. Changing her hair color from silver to black,(A/N:she manipulated the width of her stripes and uses it to change hair/fur color)she walked calmly, as if she belonged. Her tactic worked, as no one bothered her. She was able to reach a computer and locate Nate. Thankfully, the key card she 'borrowed' had access to the level where he was kept. She made her way down and stood in front of nate's holding cell. A scientist walked up behind her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"I'm Erika Jones." She replied. "I just got transfers here. By now, Nate noticed Ayla was there but knew not to say anything. If he blew her cover, neither would get out.
"Finally!" The scientist exclaimed. "I've been waiting for someone to come. name's Gregg." he motioned to Nate. "This one is part of the animal metamorphosis project (A/N: aka AMP. i changed it. it used to just be animal project, but oshi came up with the name.) that escaped a few years back."
"Wow!" Ayla exclaimed. "So this is the famous project. Never got to see one." she turned towards Gregg. "I was hired a few months after the escape." she turned towards Nate. "So what happened to the others?"
"of the 10 we had, only 3 survived and escaped." Gregg said.
"wow." Ayla gasped. "what happned to the others?"
"died during testing." came the reply.
"if you don't mind," Ayla began, "i'd like to observe the subject alone."
"oh no problem." Gregg said. he pointed to an alarm. "hit that alarm if he gets out or tries to attack you."
"ok. thank you." and with that, Gregg left. Ayla turned twords Nate.
"break the glass or try to lower it?" she asked him.
"break it." he replied. "wheres the fun in trying to lower it?"
"true." she chuckled. "ok, fist pound on three. that should break it," Nate nodded. "ok. one-two- THREE!" as expected, the force of the two virus carriers in the same place shattered the thick glass. both jumped back to avoid the glass then Nate walked out of the chamber.
"lets go before Greg comes back." Nate said. Ayla nodded and both were racing through the facility, laughing at the faces of the scientists they passed. Ayla had changed her hair back to its silver color. 'don't need them knowing i can change its color' she thought. they got to the ground floor when the alarm went off.
"Finally!" Ayla called to Nate. "I think thats a new record for the farthest we got before an alarm was tripped." as the shutters for the door came down, the duo slid under them to the outside world. shifting to the forms of a white tiger and a black panther, they ran back to Nates house.A few people who saw them screamed, some were confused, but a lot of them screamed. when they got back to Nate's house, Ayla was on the ground, laughing. Nate looked at her worried.
"what's so funny?" he asked. Ayla stopped laughing and stood up, still giggling.
"Nothing." she said "just laughing at how many people were screaming at us." Nate chuckled.
"yeah." he agreed. "that is pretty funny." Ayla looked at him.
"so," she began. "how did you get caught?"
"was being stupid, running in my animal form when i ran to close to the lab and someone recognized me."
"wow." ayla exclaimed. "i didnt realize there were still people who recognized us." she walked over to Nate and smacked the back of his head.
"ow!" he exclaimed, jumping away from the girl who still had her hand up. "what was that for?"
"you being stupid." she calmly said, lowering her hand.
"ok." nate replied "seems fair."Ayla started walking twords the door.
"come on." she said. Nate looked confused.
"where are we going?" he asked.
"back to base." she said. "i promised oshi we'd meet there." Nate nodded and the duo left, changing into there animal forms and running back to base.
~~~~~~Timeskip brought to you by Nate and Ayla running across the screen~~~~~~
when they got close enough to base to walk, but far enough for someone not to spot them change, the duo stopped and changed back to there normal forms (A/N: i wasn't sure what else to call them because i think 'people forms' makes it sound like they're not human.)Ayla turned twords Nate.
"now," she began "don't expect a warm welcome right off the bat. a:you're a new person they don't know walking into base camp, b:tecinacly, you,oshi, and i are BOWs, the very thing these people are fighting against." Nate nodded. "don't worry, i had to deal with it, just hold your head high, ignore the haters, and don't give people a reason to shoot you. got it?" he nodded again. "good. lets go."
ok, end of Ch:2. i know i said Oshi would show up here, but i was typing and thought it a good idea to leave it here. OH something i forgot to say in the first chapter I (sadly) DO NOT OWN RESIDENT EVIL. tecincaly, i dont own Nate and Oshi either, they are real people but capcom owns resident evil and for the purpose of this story, i own Ayla(me), Nate, and Oceanna. i promise oshi will show up in the next one. thank you for reading and if you have an idea for the Umbrella project nate, oshi, and ayla are a part of, please leave it in the reviews. and a reminder, please don't blow up reviews by being a grammar nazi. i currently dont have anyone to help edit this and my computer doesn't automatically capitalize the first letter of a sentence so i forget that a lot. anyway, thanks for reading and i dont know when ill post the next chapter. this is a bordom story and sometimes, i get writers block. bye. 3
