Ada backed her way back to the house whilst delivering viscous bullets to the axemans dead and oozing skin. Leon ducked under a swing from the axeman sprinted more towards the inn. A sudden, a collective of raging moans sounded in the air. "Leon! Ada! Get back here! Here they come!" Lucas called out. In the distance, figures were advancing a great pace to the scene where the duo were combating the axeman. Ada managed to get back to the alleyway as Leon struggled to loosen the axeman's assault. Lucas carried out sniping the axeman through the window and checking out on the undead. Then, a scream of pain and agony shrieked from behind him. Lucas relieved his post and grabbed his handgun from his drawer. "Guys? Rachel? Dean?" his heart sank with the sound of bitter silence. He approached the staircase that led downstairs to see a pile of blood that had been scraped along the carpet. "RACHEL! DEAN!" he shouted as he stormed down the stairs as fast as his legs could go and he inspected the area. "Dad!" came Dean's voice. Lucas' face struck with further torment as he tried to locate where the noise was coming from. "Dean?!" "Dad!" Lucas went into the dining room to find his daughter's body laying in a heap of her own blood. Her neck had been slit, her legs covered in bruises and cuts scared her face. Ada and Leon entered through the back door and ran into the dining room tobe greeted with a stomach churning reception. "W-what happened?" Leon dreaded the answer. Lucas knelt beside the corpse and weeped into his hands. Rapidly, he shot up, tears rolling down his face as he searched for Lucas. The axeman's axe scraped across the concrete in the alleyway as hell was coming. "Lucas! We've gotta get out of here!" Leon reminded him of the horde that was coming. Lucas ignored him and continued searching. Ada sighed. "Sorry, I've got a deadline to meet," she said as a crashing noise made it's presence known throughout the inn. The axeman. Leon marched to the front door that had previously been boarded up and started to rip the planks of wood off. Ada kept watch for the axeman to come round the corner. "Lucas! Your going to get yourself killed!" Ada shouted as she grabbed the owners arm and pulled him forcefully towards the door. There it stood in anguish. It's axe dripping with deep red blood, the sack on it's head that once belonged to a scarecrow was injected with sharp nails meant for drilling into walls, it wore a blood stained apron to symbolise it's murderous achievements. "Uh...Leon...we have company!" Ada called backwards as she started to shoot continuously with her machine gun. Leon teared the planks off easily and the door was accessible.
However, the undead loomed outside with their jaws widened to feast on sweet human flesh. Leon shoved his elbow through the glass on the top of the door and started to shoot. Lucas just stood still, not wanting to accept life. Leon fluently wiped out the stranded infected outside as Ada fired at the hurtful axeman who made his way to her position. "Ada! Come on!" Leon grabbed Lucas by the shirt and pushed him through the door as the others exited.
"Who are you?" Dean asked as he looked at the person wearing a black robe with the hood up. His saviour put their finger to their lips as they grabbed the little boy on their back and scampered down the forgotten high street. "I-I'm Claire, Claire Redfield,"
Dashing down the road to find a new car. The axeman hunted them as if they were defenceless mice. Ada, Leon and Lucas found themselves, once again, fighting for their lives. In hot pursuit, the axeman lunged his axe out for a dying slice as the trio ducked. "Go! I'll distract him!" Lucas said as he circled off from their straight forward route. "Lucas!" Leon yelled as the axeman turned his attention to the kind man that had helped them. Ada grabbed Leon and the two carried on to find a blue and white mini stranded on the side walk. Leon watched as Lucas ran circles around the great biohazard in the pitch black. Ada played with wires as if they were a new birthday treat, sparks flew and the engine kicked into action. The headlights blasted on and the situation became more visible. The axeman had grabbed Lucas by the throat and held him up. Lucas felt every breathe become tighter and more painful to commit as the axeman readied his axe in the other hand. Ada pelted at the pedal and the car accelerated straight into the axeman. It took a bump on the bonnet and the axeman lost it's balance and crumbled to the ground while dropping Lucas onto the hard concrete below. Leon opened the door as Ada maneuvered the mini using the steering wheel. The door smacked against the axeman's head as they made a clear 360 turn creating a whirlwind of dust in the night sky in the process. Lucas rose to his feet and picked up an odd piece of wood that had formed into a sharp point at the end. His face filled with anger and remorse as he jolted towards the axeman. Unfortunately, his life ended there, and then.
"Claire, do i know you?" Dean asked the woman in the robe as she took severe deep breathes in the freezing summer night. "No, but I know the people who were with your dad," she answered. "Are they good people?" "They sure are, "What was that thing that attacked me and my sister?"
"I-it's what everyone calles a licker,"
The dark pink and brutal biohazard clawed at Lucas as it dived off the roof of the inn. Blood splatter smudged the rear view mirror of the car as Ada reversed as quick as the mini would go and made a swift turn to move. "Was that...?" "It was, that was a Licker," Ada nodded as she pressed her foot down hard on the pedal. She peered through the top of the window and noticed the clock tower. "That's it, that's the meeting point,"
Wesker stood with his hands behind his back, wind blowing his trench coat about and his glasses filled with the site of the dead china atmosphere. His guards stood behind him, still wearing their infamous masks. "You know what to do, eliminate Miss Wong and Mr Kennedy,"
