I will never, ever own Resident Evil (Just statining the obivious) any who... Zombie Bunnies... You'll find out :)
The four B.H.P.T members were each sitting in the helicopter flying them to Maroon City. Milo was humming the tune of a song, Chris was lost deep into his thoughts, and Paul was staring uncomfortably out the side because Natalia was absent mindedly playing with a strand of his hair. The roar of the helicopter blades made almost all other sounds seem obsolete.
"How much longer until we reach Maroon City?" Chris called over to Nick, the helicopter pilot.
"Uh, fifteen minutes or so. I'll land in the forest, there's an open field there."
"Okay, sounds good," Natalia said.
Natalia watched as the helicopter faded in to the distance. They would radio in when they were finished searching the area.
"Okay everyone," Chris said. "Spread out and look for any signs of viral contamination."
"Which are?" Paul asked.
"You know, boxes with the Umbrella logo on them," Milo said. They all seemed to freeze at the name; Umbrella had hurt then all in some way. "Or a blonde gut wearing sunglasses," He joked.
Chris gave him a don't-mention-that-person look. "Wesker," He almost growled the name. "Has caused us all suffering one way or another. He kidnapped my sister! He has killed so many people, and what he did to Jill-," He stopped and looked down.
"What happened to Jill?" Milo asked Natalia in a whisper.
"I'll tell you a different time," She muttered back.
"Well Wesker's in the deepest pits of Hell where he belongs so he'll never hurt anyone else again," Chris stated confidently.
"Alright," Natalia said. "Let's go find some dirt to put on Regeneration before Chris gets all emotional on us."
They spilt up.
-FOUR HOURS LATER-
Natalia was tired of doing nothing. She was beginning to think this mission was a waste of time, they had been out here for four hours and they hadn't found anything.
"People these days," She muttered to herself. Then she heard one of the boys scream.
"What the Hell?" She muttered and went to investigate. All she found was Paul holding a MP5K in shaky hands.
"What was that?" She asked.
"It ran over there," Paul said pointing to a small bush. Natalia leaned over to it the see what had scared him so bad (Chris and Milo had shown up around this time).
A small furry black face peeked out from its hiding place amongst the branches. Its black eyes blinked and its ear twitched. It leapt out of the bush with a thump on the other said.
"It's just a rabbit," Chris said confused.
"Paul is scared of Rabbits," Milo said.
Natalia and Chris broke into fits of laughter. "It's not funny!" Paul complained.
"Uh, yeah it is," Natalia said laughing. "Just look at how cute it is." They all, even Milo, began to laugh even harder but it got cut short as another black shape ran at the retreating rabbit. It looked up at the four with glowing red eyes. It was also a rabbit but it had fur in patches only. Its ear was thorn and its teeth were large and over grown. Cuts and bruises covered it's small body.
It hissed at them lunged at the white faced Paul.
Wasting no time in action, Milo pulled out his father's old Desert Eagle and shot it quickly before it could bite his brother.
"Well that's a sign of viral contamination," Chris said rather lamely.
"What was that?" Paul asked.
"What did you think it was?" Natalia snapped. But he could not reply for the area surrounding them seemed to be alive with the sound of infected rabbits.
"Shit, things are going to get screwy fast!" Milo said.
Chris pulled out a shot gun as Natalia grabbed her AK47 with a scowl on her face.
"Yea! Finally some action!" Milo exclaimed but the was a serious tone to his voice as well.
Some how Paul managed to keep his weapon steady but anyone could see the fear in his eyes. One by one the B.H.P.T members took out the rabbits and Milo was trying to come up with a nick name for these monsters.
"Does anyone know the scientific term for a rabbit?" He had asked but they hadn't so he was left mumbling and shooting.
A white rabbit covered in blood lunged at Natalia and almost bit her leg, but she gave it a good 'ol shot to the head, shattering it's skull and killing it. Chris knifed one that had latched one to his leg, killing it, then shaking off the carcass. Milo kicked one before it could move then shot it once; he felt like a ninja, though he knew ninjas didn't use guns. And Paul shot a very fluffy, gray rabbit with very sharp teeth seven times before he turned his panicked gaze. Eventually they killed them all.
"I think that's the last of them," Natalia surmised. "Good thing too, I'm almost out of ammo."
"Me too," Added Milo.
"I'm completely out," Paul said frowning at the click of the empty chamber.
"I told you that was just a rock," Milo said.
"Well how was I sup-," He began but he stopped when he heard a low growl. They turned and standing behind them was another infected Rabbit but this one was roughly the size of a grown bear, with cruel, long claws and large teeth protruding from its mouth. Its eyes were a ring of red and yellow, the yellow dominating right now and its fur was a lush white, adding emphasis to the blood streaked in its fur.
Paul's face went completely bone white. "T-that's a big rabbit…" He muttered.
Everything seemed to freeze for a moment then they came up with a simple plan. They ran back wards (They were unable to come up with a more complex idea). They shot at it trying to "put it down". Chris quickly ran out of shotgun shells and Paul threw his empty MP5K, hitting the rabbit square in the forehead.
"Nice one, Paul! Take that you 'Fluffy Bunny of Doom'!" Milo said grinning.
His efforts were in vain though, it barely slowed the charging beast.
"Why. Won't. It. Die!" Milo hissed after he ran out of ammo in both of his Desert Eagles. Natalia sigh in irritation as she traded her empty AK for her 9milimeter.
"Um Nat?" Paul asked.
"What!" She hissed trying to get a clear shot at the Rabbit.
"Dead end."
She looked over her shoulders quickly and saw that he was right, they were trapped.
"Dammit!" She hissed as she heard the click of the empty chamber, a horrible sound amongst this mess. But then they heard an out of place sound, the sound of a car horn. Then, with out warning, a van, hippie-ish, in a way zoomed passed them, hitting the rabbit in the process. As the van drove on, Milo swore he heard the sound of "Hey Jude" playing in the background.
"That was close," Paul said, the color returning to his face.
"Uh, it might not be dead yet," Chris muttered. The rabbit slowly got to its feet and looked at them before slowly slinking into the woods. Minutes passed.
"Okay, I seriously think there is something wrong with Regeneration; if they are responsible of course," Milo said.
"Me too," Natalia added. But then she heard the sound of a groan. She turned and saw a man stumble through the tangle of trees. Holding his neck, blood seeping through his fingers.
"P-please… help… me," He breathed, falling to his knees into the dirt, blood dripping to the ground.
"He's hurt!" Natalia exclaimed and ran toward him. She pried his hand away and saw his injury clearly. By the looks of it he was stabbed repeatedly in the jugular area. He was obviously dying of blood loss.
"Who did this to you?" Natalia asked, pressing a cloth she had against his neck, trying to stop the bleeding.
"M-maroon City Sunsets…" He breathed.
"What?" She asked confused.
He opened his bag and pulled out a binder. "Look for Maroon… City sunsets… it's-," He coughed violently before finishing. "It's important…" He said finally. And then he went limp and fell to impossible angles in the dirt.
"His name was Zach Raths," Chris said reading the man's driver's license.
"Poor sucker. He had nice hair too," Natalia said.
"What did he mean by 'Maroon City Sunsets'?" Milo asked confused.
"He said to look in this binder," Natalia said holding up the full binder.
Natalia flipped it open and on the first page was a blank piece of paper with only one thing written on it: The Degeneration Company. She flipped to the next page which was a collection of newspaper articles, each one related to Regeneration. The next page had a cut of a building, the Regeneration Building, and an article below. Natalia began to read over it but it bored her so she turned to the next. This page had a cut out of a group of people at a public announcement, all in Regeneration Uniforms, and an article below it stating:
Regeneration offers a new life to their home city
All it was about was Regeneration starting a campaign to raise the population of Maroon City to offer the city better profits. The next seemed to be a flyer. It was colorful and very bold. It read: "Maroon City Sunsets Await! Discover Maroon City Today!" Puzzled she searched the flyer for a clue. The only thing she found was a symbol in the corner. It was a blue "R" and shadowed behind it was a gray "G".
This must be the Regeneration Logo… She thought.
She turned to the next page; this page had pictures of missing people. There had to be at least fifteen if not more. Some occurred about two years ago while the most recent one occurred two weeks ago. She studied the black and white picture. It was a boy who could be around twenty. Below it, it said: Drake TerBorcht/ Age: 19/ Last seen: October 5th, 2010.
There was something strange about all this; something didn't seem right. There was only one page left.
So Natalia turned to that one. On this page the Regeneration symbol sat proudly and Natalia gasped, under it laid the Umbrella symbol; red and white and a haunting reminder of everything. Below both something was written in crude hand writing:
They are both the same c
The rest was cut off. Then it clicked. They were the same company! Umbrella, Tricell and now Regeneration.
"Guys! Regeneration is the same as Umbrella!" Natalia exclaimed. "They've been kidnapping people, see?" She held up the page with the missing people. "That rabbit that attacked us probably was their doing too."
"Hmm, James Cyndal… name rings a bell," Paul mused.
"He's the son of our father's friend's uncle," Milo said sarcastically.
"Hmm," Chris pondered. "There are two Regeneration buildings located in this area… and we should investigate both so the smartest option would to split up. Paul and I will hit the building closer to the city and you and Milo will investigate the other one."
"How are we going to find them?" Milo asked.
"Our friend, Zach left a map," he replied holding up two maps, each with a destination circled with red ink. "You guys be careful."
"What about ammo?" Natalia asked. "We can't go in there unarmed."
"Um about that," Paul said awkwardly.
"What are you talking about?" Natalia said suspiciously.
"Well," He fumbled with the bag he was carrying. He opened it and revealed that it was filled with different kinds of ammunition.
"Why didn't you tell us this before?" Chris growled.
"We could have used it against the rabbit-monster-thing!" Natalia hissed just as Milo said: "Paul, you idiot."
"What did you want me to do? There was a giant rabbit about to eat me!"
"Uh, face your fears, be a man," Natalia said.
"What ever," he said still angry. "Do you want it or not?"
Milo and Natalia trekked through the forest after splitting up with the others. They took half of the ammunition Paul had hoarded "In case of emergencies". I guess being attacked by a rabbit from Hell doesn't go under "emergencies", Milo thought sourly. He wasn't as mad as the other though because if it had been a clown… he shook away the thought.
"Natalia?" He asked.
"What?"
"Are we there yet?"
"What? No!" She sighed. "how old are you Milo?"
"Sixteen," He answered.
"That's a little young, how'd they let you in?"
"Well…" He seemed hesitant. "My- I mean our, as in me and Paul, parents died. So we were alone. I helped out in the S.T.A.R.S but there's only so much an eight year old can do. I did a few things for the B.S.A.A, graduated early and here I am."
"How did your parents die?" She asked but she already knew the answer.
"Umbrella," They both said, no more was needed.
"What about you?" He asked after a moment of silence. "You have to have some type of story."
"My parents died in a fire when I was five. I don't remember my father at all and I barely remember my Mother. I was adopted and I joined the S.T.A.R.S when I was nineteen. I never have been to the Spencer Estate but when the ones who did went into hiding I did too. I joined the B.S.A.A briefly then I went to collage and here we are."
"Alpha team or Bravo?" Milo asked.
"Beta," She said, "Never saw any action until I left the S.T.A.R.S. How about you?"
"None of 'em. Like I said I was only eight. They only took me with them when the thought it was safe because I wanted to be a 'police man'." He laughed without humor. "Yeah that was really safe."
She stared at him questioningly.
"Oh, zombies, mansions, never a good combo."
"Did any one help take care of you and Paul? You guys were just kids."
"Barry Burton was a close friend of the family. In fact, he is the one who told Chris about me."
"Well, we're partners now; so I'll watch your back," Natalia said.
"I'll consider watching yours…" he muttered. They both laughed.
"What are we suppose to do, knock?"
"Nah let's just go inside."
Eliza sighed as she watched the two on the monitor. They had a Hell of a party waiting for them. I hope you live Natalia… She thought, I'm just dying to see you again.
