Me: Hello and welcome to chapter 12 of Apocalypse Crossing end of days
Leon: So what arduous activity am I going to partake in next? Am I going to fight another Tyrant or will I have to once again endure the large medium sized spoon story?
Me: No this time we're going to be facing are most dangerous enemy dun dun dun... math... oh and that Alfred Wesker guy
Leon: Math? Really?
Me: Yes Leon math... Really
Leon: Eh (shrugs shoulders) It's your story
Me: Yes it is my story and we are currently on chapter 12... The chapter known as
Chapter 12
Math 101 and the T-101
It had been 8 hours since the whole Big Top fiasco. Leon and I had just woken up and were eating our breakfast of bacon, cornflakes and Pepsi, the others were still asleep (except Samoid who was in some form of sleep mode to conserve energy) and we were discussing the current situation.
"So how long do you think it will take Whisker to get here?" I asked
"Wesker" Leon corrected
"Right Western" I replied
"Wesker" Leon corrected
"Lesker" I replied
"Wesker" Leon corrected
"Tesco" I replied
"Look the name doesn't matter all that does matter is that he's on his way here" Leon sighed "Know if Big Top sent that message the day this all started Wesker would of taken about one day to devise a Machiavellian plan, two days to refine it, three to organise it and it would then take him about two days to get here if he took a helicopter... four days if he took a car"
"Doesn't he rest in this little schedule you've devised?" I asked
"He doesn't need to" Leon replied
"Okay I'm starting to understand why you were so worried "I said "But back on topic, you're saying it would of taken him seven or eight days for him to get here?"
"Precisely" Leon replied "How many days have we been here anyway?"
"Well let's see..." I began "On the day this all happened I saw Kid cat attack Agent S, we barricaded the museum, I tried to make a phone call at my house... um... we met for the first time... and that just about covers The beginning of the end, So my house isn't good enough for you and Leave this to the professionals"
"I still regret that chapter" Leon sighed
"Hey" I angrily yelled
"Kidding" Leon laughed "Anyway after that we blew up that train station and then we went to sleep"
"That was a fun day" I said reminiscently "Moving on... we then rested for two days and then on the third day after Loco Locomotive we had S is for sustenance where Agent S ambushed us and later that night we had What lies beneath where we found the umbrella lab, the 'dead' Big Top and you and Kid Cat revealed your secrets and we left him to die at the hand and blade arm of Agent S"
"Don't forget we also had Alliance where you had all those filler characters killed off and Agent S joined us" Leon added "And that was also all in one day"
"Okay... then we had Go go gyroid ranger where Samoid was formed and we formed an uneasy alliance with Kid Cat, then we had My pet B. where I released those Metroids... or were they Komaytos? Eh... doesn't matter anyway then Nook died, Brewster and Benedict were put on a bus and I was knocked out for 28 days"
"Actually... it was only 28 hours" Leon murmured
"Wait what?" I shouted angrily
"I just wanted to see your reaction" Leon confessed
"I hate you" I snarled "Moving on we then had we then had the recently renamed The end of the beginning where I called Gulliver..."
"Then we had to wait about a year for the next chapter" Leon muttered
"Yeah yeah I get the point" I said dismissively "So then we had the long awaited Me, myself and I... and Leon... and Leon where Big Top attacked us, my broken leg was, mostly fixed and Big Top told us about Wesker's arrival... then we slept and now it's now"
"So 1 day for those first 3 chapter... plus those two days we rested... then that day that also formed 3 chapters... then we had a rather uneventful day where only two chapters took place... add in those 28 hours you were unconscious just at the end of that chapter... then yesterday and today... so we've been living like this for-"
"28 weeks" I shouted
"Stop referencing that series" Leon yelled "Anyway it's actually been seven days"
"Wow a whole week... wait a minute that means I missed the walking dead!" I shouted "They were about to go to a farm and I bet the action was just about to reach a high point"
"Really we're in a zombie invasion and you want to watch a show about zombies?" Leon asked
"Well... it's funny when it's not happening to me" I confessed
"Anyway Wesker should be here by now" Leon worryingly mused "So we better keep a low profile"
"Help-stuck-in air port-there-zombies-every-and-some men-black coats-shades-and glowing eyes-if any-can hear-please... dear-run" The radio blurted
"Where did that radio come from?" Leon asked
"Stop pointing out plot holes" I shouted "Anyway we've got to help them"
"Please we're not going to fall for that old radio trick... again... are we?" Leon asked
"Oh come on they need our help" I begged "besides you're a cop... kind of... it's your job to help people"
"Y...you're right" Leon sighed "But this could be particularly dangerous"
"But why?" I asked
"That man they described... they mentioned red eyes, shades and a black coat... I'd bet good money that it's Weaker" Leon explained "after all if he did take a helicopter he would be at an airport"
"So this is going to be serious?" I asked
"Yeah we'll have to make a plan... pull out every trick in the book... and pray that we get lucky" Leon replied
"Well at least there's only one guy" I mused
"Well I'm not so sure" Leon said worryingly "that distress signal mentioned two men... and if he's with Wesker he'll probably be on par or superior to Big Top"
"I'll go get the others... we'll need all the help we can get" I said gravely
After a few minutes of explaining, a few minutes of arguing and a lot of walking we finally arrived at the airport. We decided to split up to cover more ground Leon and myself in one group and Kid Cat, Agent S and Samoid in the other (I told Samoid to go with them just in case their animal animosity rears its head and causes them to tear each other apart). We both talk Gyroids that Samoid has turned into walkie talkies so we could communicate. We were on the second floor and besides a couple of zombies and the occasional licker we hadn't really seen anything.
"So do you think Big Top will be with Wesker?" I asked
"Probably not... I mean if Wesker is initiating the purge he'd kill him anyway" Leon replied
"The purge?" I asked
"It's standard umbrella protocol, enter an infected area, wipe out anything living or undead and recover any umbrella files if there is a lab in the vicinity" Leon explained "They'll probably kill Big Top... and Agent S too and take them back with them for further study"
"He'd kill one of his own team mates?" I asked
"He's tried to in the past" Leon sighed
Meanwhile one the first floor of the airport
"So you like working for Ryan?" Kid Cat asked nervously
"I am programmed to sir" Samoid replied
"Oh... okay" Kid Cat muttered "But beyond that do you like him on an emotional level... I mean can you feel emotions?"
"Yes I can" Samoid replied "Of course as a machine it is difficult to express them... as for your first question Yes I am quite fond of master Ryan... I know him better than anyone else... after all for a while I was him... kind of... I know how he thinks and that despite the eccentricities he is a good person... of course before I gained an A.I I didn't even know that I knew all this... I've fought with him... as him... and would risk my life for his... you know what I mean... you and Agent S are like that aren't you?"
"We... were" Agent S rasped angrily
"hehe...he" Kid Cat laughed nervously
"I'm sensing hostility" Samoid stated
"He... turned me... into... this" Agent S hissed
"Do you think I wanted too?" Kid Cat yelled "Do you think one day doesn't go by that I don't regret what I did?"
"At least... you don't... have... to live... with it" Agent S retorted
"Don't have to live it?" Kid Cat screamed "Every day I have to live with the guilt of ruining my best friend's life, every day I wish some zombie would kill me so I could end the self loathing that has become part of my daily existence, my biggest fan and last real friend after what I did to you, Ryan, verbally berated and left me to die and the worst part was he was right I do deserve to die"
"This... place if... full of... zombies... let one kill you...now" Agent S mockingly suggested
"I want to" Kid Cat replied "But I can't because that day... the day you escaped and all this started... I swore to myself that I would save everyone I could from suffering your fate... even if the very people I'm trying to save hate me as much as you do"
"Bu..." Agent S went to reply but was to stunned to do so
"I believe this is what humans called awkwardness" Samoid plainly stated "I- enemies approaching" Samoid yelled as it loaded its arm cannon
"We... can sort... this later" Agent S rasped
"Yeah... I guess" Kid Cat murmured
"And... Kid Cat... I don't hate you... that much" Agent S confessed
Meanwhile back with Leon and I
"I'm just saying that it was I who saved you from the zombies when we first met" I said
"And I'm just saying I saved you" Leon retorted
"You thought they were cannibals for God's sake" I shouted
"That was part of my cover" Leon yelled "I didn't think this thing would last this long so I saw no point in telling you that fighting these things is my job"
"We're done talking about this" I yelled
"Good!" Leon shouted "God I hope the others are getting along better than we are"
"Oh come on Leon" I laughed "We've had some good times together... remember that time we told those scary stories or that that time we blew up that train staion?"
"Yeah I guess" Leon admitted "Remember that time we took down that Tyrant?"
"Yeah that was a good fight I" replied
"Remember that time you guys left me to die?" A voice shouted
I looked up and saw Kid Cat stood in front of us, a maniacal look upon his face and a pistol in his hand
"What the... Kid Cat... what are you doing here?" I asked
"I've come to kill you both" Kid Cat replied
"But why?" I asked
"Because you left me to die" Kid Cat screamed "And you" he yelled as he pointed the gun at Leon "Exposed me as a fraud"
"Because you were a fraud" Leon retorted "Didn't we move on from this anyway?"
"Maybe you did but I didn't" Kid Cat replied as he cocked the gun
"Why does Kid Cat need a gun?" I muttered to myself "I mean he can shoot energy beams out of his hands... unless... psst Leon"
"What?" Leon whispered
"Play along" I commanded
"What?" Leon asked again
"PLAY ALONG" I whispered angrily
"What are you two whispering about?" Kid Cat asked angrily as he pointed his gun at me, then Leon, then me until he finally pointed it at Leon again
"Oh we were just saying how ironic it is that you're going to kill us considering the fact that you once saved our lives when Agent S ambushed us in the museum" I replied "Weren't we Leon?"
"What are you tal- oh... yeah it's just a shame you couldn't save Benedict" Leon sighed
"There you go again blaming me for Benedict's death IT WASN'T MY FAULT" Kid Cat screamed angrily
"Hehehe hey 'Kid Cat" I yelled
"What?" Kid Cat asked angrily as he pointed his gun at me
"Benedict isn't dead" I laughed
"Wait... what?" Kid cat said confusedly
"Leon shoot him" I commanded as I dived towards 'Kid Cat' and stabbed him in the chest with the Master sword
"Right" Leon replied as he shot Kid Cat in the head multiple times causing him to topple and fall over, with all the damage taken he could no longer sustain the facade and reverted back to his true form
"Nice try... Big Top" I mocked as I thrust the master sword further through his chest, pinning him to the ground "Your costume was good but your acting leaves a lot to be desired... but don't be discouraged you can always audition for the role of Kid Cat next year"
"So what brings you here Big Top?" Leon asked as he reloaded his gun
"What do you think?" Big Top spat as he struggled in vain to remove the sword from his chest "Wesker is here, I came here to find him and then we'll team up and kill you all"
"Oh please do you really think Wesker is here to save you" I laughed
"Yes he is, he'll save me and then together we'll kill each and every one of you, we'll dismember you and then we'll use your bodies in our experiments and then I'll ensure every one of you care for suffers the same fate" Big Top laughed "Ryan I'll kill your brother"
"Meh" I replied fairly unfazed by his threat
"And Leon I will personally deliver Ada Wong to Wesker" Big Top giggled maniacally "Oh the things he'll do to her" upon saying this Big Top finally managed to break himself free from the cold, steel grip of the master sword
He began to limp away but before he barely five feet away Leon tackled him to the ground, he emptied the contents of his gun into Big Top, reloaded, shot Big Top again and reloaded. He did this several times. After running out of ammo he walked over to me, took the Master sword and began to hack away at Big Top. After several minutes of this I decided to intervene
"Leon not that this isn't entertaining, believe me it is, I think you've done enough" I said nervously, choosing my words carefully as to not incur Leon's wrath myself
"Y...you...you're right" Leon sighed as he composed himself "I'm sorry you had to see that"
"It's okay" I assured him "it was actually kind of funny"
"Yes Leon it was hilarious" a black clothed man with shades laughed, clapping his hands as he did so "I sure hope I don't get on your bad side... that is if you have a good side to begin with"
"Oh my god it's... it's..." Leon stuttered
"It's the terminator" I shouted excitedly
"Wh-what I'm not the Terminator I am the Albert Wesker and I am here to-" Wesker tried to explain
"Oh I know you're here to terminate me" I laughed again
"Ryan we've got to get out of here now" Leon shouted as he grabbed me by the sleeve, grabbed the Master sword and began to run
"I've got to go now... but don't worry I'll be back" I laughed... again "Asta la vista baby"
"Agent 38 stop now you can have Leon... for now... but the boy is mine" Wesker commanded
Upon Wesker's uttering of these words, another black clothed man tackled Leon to the ground. I ran to help but Wesker blocked my path
"So what model are you?" I asked mockingly "T-101 or T-800?"
"I'm not a Terminator you twit" Wesker snarled "I am Albert Wesker... but don't let your little brain get confused I am here to kill you"
"Oh so you're the Wesker that Leon was so worried about... I must say thus far I'm unimpressed... I mean seriously you wear a trench coat, who are you trying to cosplay as Dante, Nero or Sephiroth? Do you even have any powers?" I asked
"Oh I have many powers... but I won't be using them, I want to enjoy and prolong your torment so you'll have to settle with me punching you to death" Wesker replied menacingly
"Oh please you wouldn't stand a cha-" I tried to retort but a swift punch to the face stopped me, followed by a punch to the gut, then the face and once again the gut followed swiftly by being thrown across the room near the mangled body of Big Top
"So this is the psycho that has been giving Big Top so much trouble... I must admit thus far I'm unimpressed... I mean seriously you wear a green tunic, who are you trying to cosplay as Link? Do you even have powers you snot nosed punk?" Wesker mocked as he walked slowly towards me, being sure to drag out the fear his echoing footsteps caused
This was it, he was the real deal, he was going to kill me and there was no way I could beat him, I was truly doomed, I've beaten zombies, lickers, tyrants even Big Top but it didn't mean a thing beca- wait a minute Big Top! I looked over and saw that his healing factor had already begun to take affect and that's when I had an idea.
"So after were gone I guess you're gonna take Big Top back with you, huh?" I asked
"Please after we've killed you and your associates I'm going to kill Big Top too, with the information we'll get from his corpse our research we'll be pushed years ahead, he'll serve us better dead than alive" Wesker laughed
"Traitor!" Big Top screamed as he wrapped himself around Wesker
"What the he-"Wesker yelled but before he could finish his sentence his mouth was covered by Big Top's hand
"Thanks Big Top... I owe you one" I shouted as I ran towards Leon's opponent, roundhouse kicked him, grabbed Leon by the sleeve and ran
"Well that was fun" Leon laughed sarcastically as he rubbed the black eye that Agent 38 gave him "How did Wesker treat you
Silence
"Ryan" Leon shouted trying to get my attention "Are you okay?"
"He scares me Leon" I replied "He scares me"
After running for a while we decided to hide in one of the nearby rooms. We walked in, Leon returned my sword and we collapsed.
"Are you guys okay?" a voice asked
I looked up in shock and saw several other people in the room, I went to reply but before I could I finally gave into the tiredness caused by my earlier fight and fell unconscious.
Meanwhile on the first floor
"Well... it took... a while... but we finally beat him" Kid Cat panted
"Yeah... he got what... he deserved" Agent S rasped
"I'm sure Ryan and Leon will be pleased that we took care of Big Top" Samoid stated
Me: And so chapter 12 comes to an end... and with a cliffhanger
Leon: Well if I'm right that was the longest chapter so far
Me: Yes it was. It was also one of the darkest, had the most character development and was the one that hurt me most, I mean seriously that Wesker can punch
Leon: I specifically liked that part
Me: I hate you. Anyway see ya next chapter. Ciao, sayonara and goodbye.
