Hey guys, CaptainPrice here with another update for 'Resident Edville'. I know this is a month late than I originally planned to release but some stuff went down that kept me distracted and lazy to finish the chapter. Anyway, the story itself is a little over halfway or maybe 3/4s of the way done. I may wrap this story up around 20-25 chapters. Anyway, I've babble enough so read and review as always.
Summary: The Rangers arrive in Raccoon city to evacuate the stranded citizens that remain in the city. A small squad evacuates a group of people and we reunite with an old face who has a revelation. Meanwhile in the factory, as one problem is solved another takes its place.

Hundreds of helicopters were soaring above the interstate leading towards Raccoon City. The city was drawing closer and the men in each helicopter began to grow anxious of what they were going to find. From the briefing they received, it seemed farfetched. But after seeing actual footage, they knew it wasn't a joke. One soldier, a tall man in his mid-twenties was looking out the side of the helicopter watching the city drawing nearer. He flipped down his night vision goggles and gave them one final test before turning them off. His fingers tapped the buttstock of his M4 as he waited.
"Overlord this is Dagger-One, we're nearing Raccoon City, ETA three minutes," The pilot said into his radio.
"Copy that, Dagger-One. Drop off the team and await further instruction," replied Overlord.
"Sergeant Stone! We're almost to the LZ, ETA three minutes!" The pilot called to the soldier in the door.
Stone nodded and stood up. He turned and began giving quick inspections for his men.
"All right, ladies. We'll be at our LZ shortly, ETA three minutes. I'll be your stewardess this evening. Our special tonight is a helping of five-five six with all you can eat zombies!" Stone said, patting some of his men on the shoulder.
"Hooah!" they chorused.
"Hernandez, you ready?"
"Oh yeah, baby. Let's do this!" Hernandez replied with vigor.
"Thirty seconds!" The pilot called over the radio.
The men stood up and got ready to leave the chopper. The chopper was slowly lowering to the top of the skyscraper and finally landed. The ramp lowered and Stone moved his men off the chopper and into a security formation.
"Overlord, Hunter One-Two is on the objective." The pilot said.
"Roger that, Dagger-One. Search the tops of nearby skyscrapers for civilians. Make sure the medics check them for bites before letting them on board." Overlord replied.
"Roger that."
The Chinook closed its ramp and lifted into the air before heading east into the city to search for survivors. Stone hurried over to the door that led into the building and had his men stack up. He motioned for Private Cook to kick the door open. Cook gave a nod and kicked the door open, following Stone, Hernandez, Harrison, and Carlson inside.
"Squad, switch to night vision. Harrison, take point." Stone whispered.
Harrison moved up front with his 870 CS ready to fire. The squad crept down the stairs to the first landing and stacked up outside the door. Stone nodded at Harrison to open the door. Harrison slowly pulled the door open and let Cook and Carlson check the hall for safety
"Clear left." Cook whispered.
"Clear right." Carlson confirmed.
Harrison retook point after everyone entered the hall. The squad started moving down the hall, each of them keeping perfectly silent and closely watching for movement. Harrison hugged the right wall and stopped the squad.
"Sarge, we got a cubicle area ahead." Harrison whispered.
"How many rows?" Stone replied.
"Five."
"Okay, everybody, fan out. Take an aisle and move down it. Look inside each cubicle before continuing and check your six. The last thing I need is for one of you guys to have your asses jumped from behind."
Stone moved up to the first aisle followed by Cook, Carlson, Harrison and finally, Hernandez. Stone peered around the first cubicle and found it empty. His finger slowly moved to the trigger of his rifle before he crept to the next one. He looked in the next one and found one zombie feeding on a dead woman. Stone's face scrunched up in disgust before he pulled out his suppressed M9.
Hernandez was halfway down his aisle before he heard a soft clap. He recognized it as Stone's pistol and continued. His heartbeat was increasing a little with each step. He continued his task and finally reached the end of his row. After checking behind him again to search for any trailing zombies or other creatures he put his back to the wall and waited for the others to finish their search.
"Have you guys found anything yet?" Hernandez asked
"If you mean dead guys, then yeah." Carlson replied.
Carlson appeared from his aisle and took a defensive position behind a copier. Harrison and Cook came next and squatted by the wall. Stone finally appeared after tucking his M9 back in his holster. He motioned for his men to regroup on him to continue clearing the floor. The five of them started down the next hall and came to a double door.
"Harrison, you're up." Stone whispered.
Harrison nodded and slowly opened the door. He glanced around the conference room and saw movement. Turning back to his squad he pointed at his eyes then at the room. Everyone nodded and raised their weapons, ready to engage the threat. Harrison crept into the room with Hernandez following close behind.
"Is anyone in here?" Stone said aloud.
"Who's there?" A woman asked.
"I'm Sergeant Stone with the U.S. Army Rangers, my squad and I are here to help any survivors."
The woman stood up with five other people. They started to move towards them but stopped when Carlson had his M249 visible to show that he was ready to stop them if need be. The civilians looked frightened at the sudden action.
"Before we take you anywhere, we need to be sure if any of you have been bitten." Carlson said.
"We're all clean. We've been following the instructions from the EAS that was sent out two days ago. We're the only ones that are still alive in the building." A man replied.
Stone turned on his flashlight to observe the group better to search for bite marks. After finding none on any of them, he nodded and turned off his flashlight. He put his finger to his radio to contact command.
"Overlord, this is Hunter One-Two. We have the last remaining civilians in our building with us. We're ready for extraction." Stone said.
"Roger that, One-Two. Extraction is on the way, ETA five minutes." Overlord replied.
"All right, squad, take defensive positions around the civilians. Double-time, the sooner we get them out the faster we can help others."
Harrison took point and set the pace for the group to get towards the stairwell. His eyes caught a sign of movement and two massive dogs came charging at him. Ready to go, Harrison raised his 870 and fired. The first slug took the first dog's head clean off. He pumped quickly and fired taking out the second dog.
"We've got company, Sarge," Hernandez said, raising his M249.
"Alright guys, the only way to stop them is to remove the brain." Stone said.
"Remove the brain?" The woman asked, slightly confused.
Stone turned to the woman and gave a small smirk.
"Shoot them in the head," he replied, cocking his M4.
"Up for a kill count game?" Cook asked.
"Count me in," Carlson said with a grin.
"Well, I'm winning so far." Harrison replied.
Hernandez raised his rifle and started firing at some heads he could make out over the cubicles. Harrison continued to lead the squad around the cubicles to avoid the zombies. Stone fired two shots and took down a zombie that was a couple feet away from him. However, he didn't notice the zombie hiding behind him in the cubicle. Stone was tackled to the floor and he dropped his M9. The zombie opened its mouth and went in to bite his throat. Fortunately for Stone, he had mobility with his arms so he was able to fight back. He pushed the zombie up off of him and held its throat. He pulled out his knife and drove it directly into its stomach. The zombie just became more angered and began to overpower him.
"Fuck!" Stone swore.
"Hang on, Sarge!" Harrison called, quickly reloading his 870.
There was a crack and Stone felt blood splash on his face. He spat out the blood that landed on his mouth and pushed the dead zombie off him. He looked over to his left and saw the woman holding his M9. He gave her a nod and stood up.
"Thanks for that, miss…" Stone said, waiting for her to say her name.
"Kennedy. Claire Kennedy." The woman replied.
"Well, thanks for that. That was a nice shot."
"No problem, I'll help out if you let me."
Stone nodded and handed Claire the ammo for his M9. Harrison and Cook continued firing at the endless amount of zombies that were coming through the stairway. Realizing there was no time to waste, Stone began looking for Hernandez. He found him reloading his M4 in a nearby cubicle.
"Hernandez, we gotta' move! Use the M203 on the door!" Stone barked.
"But that'll damage the stairs, Sarge!" Hernandez replied.
"Just do it! It's better than dying to these things!"
Hernandez nodded and held his M4 ready to fire the M203 from the underbarrel. He took aim and fired. The grenade whooshed through the air and made contact with a zombie entering through the door. There was a loud boom as the door exploded, leaving a giant gaping hole in the wall. Flames triggered the sprinklers and water poured over the group. The flames in the stairway were still burning strong and blocked off the stairs leading downward.
"Move, move!" Cook yelled as he hurried over to the wall.
Just as he was about to climb up the stairs, he almost fell down the hole in the stairs. Carlson just grabbed a hold of his collar and pulled him back, preventing his nasty fall.
"I owe you one." Cook said.
"Damn straight, that's the third time I've saved your ass in the past three years." Carlson replied.
"Hunter One-Two we're almost at the LZ, ETA one minute. We're running on fumes, so we can't afford to stay long!" The pilot said through the radio.
"Copy that Dagger-One, we're heading up the stairs now." Stone replied.
"Pick up the pace, let's go!" Harrison said hurrying up the stairs.
The group hurried up the stairs and reached the top of the building. They turned and faced the door with their weapons ready to fire. Stone could hear the zombies and barking dogs coming up the stairs and grit his teeth. He could hear the helicopter nearing the rooftop and prayed they could take off immediately. Zombies appeared in the door and Stone quickly shot one in the head. The horde came through the door to be met with a rain of bullets from the Rangers.
The helicopter slowly lowered to the roof and lowered the ramp. Cook ushered the civilians on board the helicopter and took his position again. Carlson hurried to the ramp and entered the helicopter. Once he was sitting on the seat at the ramps entrance, he took aim and got ready to suppress the zombies.
"Sarge, I'm in position, hurry up and get on!" Carlson yelled.
"Roger that, Cook, Harrison, get on! Hernandez you follow after they're onboard!"
Cook and Harrison fired off a couple more shots as they got up from their position to board the chopper. Hernandez stood up and patted Stone on the shoulder to let him know he was the last man. Stone had pulled the pin on one of his grenades and threw it into the horde. He fired a couple more times and boarded the chopper.
"All right, we're all aboard. Go!" Stone yelled to the pilot.
"Copy that. Overlord, this is Dagger-One, we got the civilians and Stone's squad. We're returning to base to refit and refuel." The pilot said into his radio.
"Copy that, Dagger-One. Overlord out." The man replied.
The helicopter lifted off the roof just as Stone's grenade exploded, obliterating the rest of the zombies. Stone gave a sigh and sat down next to Claire. She handed him his M9 and he took it back.
"Thanks for getting us out," Claire said leaning back.
"No problem, it's our job." Stone replied.
Stone excused himself for a moment as he got up to check his men. After doing an equipment and bite check, he sat back down. He cracked his neck and rested his head against the wall.
"I hope my son and my husband are okay." Claire muttered.
"Excuse me?" Stone asked.
"My son and my husband. I haven't seen them for two days and I was wondering if they were okay."
"Have you tried calling them or anything?"
"Yeah, but the cell phones are out of service."
"What are their names?"
Claire pulled out a worn photo of herself, a man and a high school student. The three of them were smiling and waving at the camera. It was Eddward's birthday that day and they ended up going to Buffalo Wild Wings. She handed Stone the picture and he took it. He looked at the photo and smiled a little bit at seeing it. The photo reminded him of his wife and his young son. Just as he was about to hand the photo back, he managed to get a better look at the man. His eyes widened for a sec and he turned to Claire.
"Your husband wouldn't happen to be Leon Kennedy? The cop who helped the CIA with the terrorist threat here all those years ago?" Stone asked.
"The very same. Why?" Claire replied.
"I met him once. It was back when he was returning home with President Graham's daughter. He's a good man."
"Yes he is."
"And the kid in the photo is your son, huh?"
"Yeah, that's our son. God, he grew up fast. And now I am beginning to wonder if I'll ever see him again."
"I'm sure you will."
"I wish I could turn back time and do things over again. If there was one thing I could do, it would be to be there for him."
"Judging from the way you're saying that, I'm going to guess that you both weren't home that much to spend time with him?"
"You're right. Leon and I were so busy and we never really got to spend much time with him since he was five. And now he'll be going off to college next year."
"Don't worry, when you get out of this mess you'll have all the time in the world to spend with him before he leaves. If I were you, I'd try to make the best of it. Even if you weren't there for him, I'm positive you did what you could."
Claire nodded dully and lowered her head. She ran a hand through her hair and felt tears building in her eyes. She buried her face in her hands and let sobs escape her lips as she thought of her son. Stone frowned and rested a hand on her shoulder giving it a pat.
"It's going to be alright, Claire." Stone soothed.
The chopper slowed down and began to lower to the ground. Stone looked out the window and noticed that they were back at the temporary base. Standing up, walked to the ramp of the chopper.
"Alright, get the civilians to the holding area. We're leaving in ten minutes so if you have to take a piss or make a dukie, hurry up. Resupply on what you need and top off your water canteens." Stone ordered.
He exited the chopper with his men and the civilians following him. Stone decided to escort the civilians to the tents they were to stay at for the next couple of hours until the convoy arrived. Stone looked at the civilian as they sat at some cots and pulled out a pen and paper.
"Before you get comfy, I need you to list your names here and remaining family members. That way we'll be able to keep track of everyone." Stone said.
After the list made its way around the group, Stone took the list back and got ready to leave. Just as he was about to exit the tent, he turned to Claire.
"If I find your husband or your kid, I'll let you know." Stone said.
"Thank you," Claire replied trying to smile.
Stone nodded and left the tent. He hustled to the tent next door and bumped into his commanding officer.
"Lieutenant Woods, I have a list of civilians and their family members here from the group my squad retrieved," Stone said, holding out the piece of paper.
Woods nodded and took the paper. He pocketed it and looked back at Stone.
"So where's the rest of your group at the moment, Sergeant?" Woods asked.
"I have them resupplying on ammo and water, then we're going back out, sir." Stone replied.
"Excellent job, Stone. Keep them coming."
"Hooah."
Stone saluted Woods before exiting the tent to go and find his squad. He found them packing some magazines for their guns and grinned. He picked up a couple magazines for his M4 and M9 before picking up a grenade.
"Alright ladies, let's go!" Stone barked.
Stone, Carlson, Harrison, Hernandez and Cook ran back to the chopper and boarded it. Stone walked up and patted the pilot on the back.
"Take us back out," Stone said as he adjusted his helmet.
"Roger that." The pilot replied.
The chopper rose into the air and began its trip back into the city to continue with the evacuations.
Back at Umbrella Laboratories, Ed, Jill, Kevin and Rolf were working their way downstairs. Jill led the group down to the level they were on earlier before Ed took off after Wesker. They treaded down the hallway, ready to open fire on any zombies or other creatures that came at them. Once they reached the center hall, they stopped to contact Leon and Chris to try and rendezvous with them.
"Chris, Leon, come in." Jill whispered.
"Go ahead, Jill." Leon replied.
"We've recovered Ed and we've found some ammo as well. Where are you at?"
"We took the stairs down at the end of the hall to the floor below. We're currently in the main lab right now. I think we found the device that can help us kill the parasite inside Eddward."
"That's good. We're on our way now."
"Jill, is anyone hurt or bitten?"
Jill fell silent and glanced back at Rolf who was growing worse by the minute. She bit her lip and tried to respond.
"I see. Who was bit?" Leon asked.
"Rolf was bitten by one of those dogs and Wesker beat Ed to a bloody pulp." Jill replied.
"How long ago was Rolf bitten?"
"About ten minutes ago."
"Alright, hurry up and get on down here then. And Jill, you know what needs to be done."
Leon hung up and Jill dropped her arm. She put the communicator back on her belt and began to walk down the southern corridor. Jill took another glance at Rolf as he began to sway as he walked.
"Damn-it." Jill muttered.
They reached the stairwell and began their decent to the floor below. Ed and Kevin took point to take out any creatures they came across. Kevin glanced back at Rolf and saw him looking paler than ever and he felt his eyes well with tears.
"He's just a kid, damn-it! None of this should have happened to any of us." Kevin muttered.
They turned the corner and saw a double door at the end of the hall. Jill squinted and noticed it was the main lab the Leon was calling them from. Four cultists were standing outside the door, as if they were waiting for something. Ed motioned for each of them to take one down. He lined up his sights, took a breath and fired a round. The bullet struck the cultist in the head causing it to explode and to be replaced with the creature that killed parker. The cultists began to walk towards the group, only to be met with a barrage of bullets. Ed fired four more shots into the worm like head of the cultists and destroyed it, sending green guts all over the hall.
The doors slowly creaked open as Chris poked his head out. He saw Jill, Kevin, Ed and Rolf walking towards him. When he noticed Rolf's state, he immediately had his hand near his gun. If anything, Rolf had just a short amount of time remaining until he turned. Chris stood aside and let the group in. Nazz, Colin, Carly and Leon were standing around Edd who was currently strapped to a chair. There was a machine directly above Edd's stomach which was more than likely the thing that could kill the parasite in Edd.
"Good to see you all made it," Colin said with a small nod.
"You too." Kevin replied.
"So, is this the thing that can help Double D?" Ed asked.
"I believe it is. It looks similar to the one that helped me all those years back." Leon replied.
Leon's eyes fell on Rolf and he frowned. He could tell Rolf was not going to last much longer and sighed. He sent a brief glare at Jill for not taking care of Rolf earlier. Leon motioned for Chris to come over to him.
"What' wrong?" Chris asked.
"Jill didn't take care of Rolf like I told her. Now his friends are going to watch him die by our hand. I want you to keep an eye on Rolf while I'm helping Eddward." Leon replied.
"Wait," Kevin said as he walked over to them, "I'll do it. I'll keep an eye on Rolf."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yeah, he's one of my best friends. If anyone is to put him out of his misery, it should be me."
Leon and Chris exchanged looks before turning to Kevin. They gave him a nod in confirmation and walked back to Eddward while Kevin walked over to Rolf. Leon stood by his son's side and gripped his hand.
"You ready, sport? This is going to hurt for a minute, but you'll feel like a million bucks after it's done," Leon said as he looked at Eddward.
"Do it. Get this crap out of me, dad." Edd replied.
Leon nodded and walked over to the machine. He set it up and placed his hands on the grips to guide the machine. He found the parasites moving around in Edd's stomach and his thumbs grazed over the triggers. The machine gave a crackle an electric beam shot into Eddwards stomach. Eddward grit his teeth and began to squirm in obvious discomfort as the electricity shocked him. His knuckles cracked as he clenched his fists. Nazz took his hand in hers and squeezed it for comfort.
"Come on you little bastards, hold still." Leon muttered.
Leon pressed the triggers again and felt his lips tug upward in a grin as the parasites disintegrated. Just to be sure that all the parasites were gone he looked at the monitor as it scanned over Edd's stomach. Finding none, he deactivated the machine and walked over to his son. He released the bindings that held Edd in place and grinned as his son hugged him.
"Thanks, dad." Edd whispered.
"No problem, Eddward." Leon replied.
Edd slowly climbed out of the chair and cracked his neck. He looked around at his friends and smiled as they all looked at him with relief. Kevin walked over and clapped him on the shoulder.
"Good to have you back, Double D." Kevin said.
"Good to be back." Edd replied.
Nazz looked around when she noticed Rolf was nowhere to be found. Jill and Chris noticed Nazz's wandering gaze and went stiff. Rolf was gone and they couldn't see him in the room. He must've walked off after Kevin went to check on Edd.
"Rolf, where are you?" Nazz called.
Everyone began to look around the room to find Rolf, but there was no trace. That's when Kevin noticed a small side room with its door ajar. He cautiously walked to the door and pushed it open. The group surrounded the door when Kevin opened it. Ed turned on his flashlight and shined it into the room. They saw Rolf on all fours face the wall. He vomited up some green fluid and gave a groan. Nazz put a hand to her mouth and felt her eyes well with tears.
"Rolf, no. Not you too." Nazz whispered.
"Rolf, are you okay man? Talk to me." Kevin said.
Rolf groaned again and gingerly stood up. He turned around and the group gave a collective gasp. Rolf's eyes were glazed over and bloodshot. His skin was deathly pale and he gave groans as he moved towards them. The group moved to the other side of the room to keep away from Rolf. But Kevin had pulled out his sidearm and slowly took a step back at a time.
"Kevin, he's gone. You know what needs to be done!" Leon barked.
Kevin flinched at Leon's voice and looked back at his former friend. He raised his gun and struggled to keep it from shaking in his hands. He took a couple more steps back and felt tears fall down his face. Kevin finally managed to steady his gun and peered down the sights.
"Rolf…" Kevin began as he pulled the hammer down on his pistol.
Rolf groaned and drew nearer to Kevin.
"I'm sorry."
Bang! Everything went in slow motion for Kevin as he pulled the trigger. The flash of his gun, the crack of the shot, the whistle of the bullet, the crunch of Rolf's head exploding, and finally, the loud thump as Rolf's corpse hit the floor. The cul-de-sac kids all turned away and lowered their heads. Kevin fell to his knees and dropped his gun with a clatter on the floor. Rolf Paulsen was dead.
Alright guys that's the chapter, hope the wait was worth it. Anyway, like I said, this story is going to be wrapped up pretty soon so I think that after it's finished I'll make one more Ed Edd n Eddy story that'll be a crossover with supernatural. I already have the plot outline for the story, but I haven't finalized it. Anyway, I'll try to update the story as soon as I can guys, in the meantime, I hope you're all enjoying your summer. See you later!-CaptainPrice
