Chapter 16: Ultimate Lifeform
The trio headed down the stairs and out into one of the main floors.
"Okay, we've verified this building is empty and Gillian is down." Lydia clarified. "I think, given the circumstances, we have to chance taking the elevator."
The other two nodded; they knew the risks, but they were pressed for time, it would take too long even to run down all those stairs. They entered the elevator and remained tense and ready as it descended. The door opened and they exited into the lobby, weapons at the ready. There was nothing around so they hurried for the doors and exited the building. Outside however was a small pack of Cerberi; which quickly caught sight of the trio. The dogs charged at them, but were swiftly taken down with a torrent of gunfire. They then hurried on.
"We don't have time to waste; let's try and avoid as many B.O.W.s as we can." Cashmere called out. "It's our only chance."
"Agreed." Lydia replied.
So they continued to run, through main streets, alleyways, taken a slightly roundabout route, but still maintaining good time. It was not long before they made it to the central square. They stopped there however as a sudden rumbling got their attention and they knew they were for a major fight.
Meanwhile, using the rooftops, the shadowy stranger hurried towards the central square. They clutched the weapon in their hands. It had been an experimental model, until they had the chance to test it on several B.O.W.s on their way here. Considering what it did to those lesser B.O.W.s they knew it would have a good effect on the stronger ones.
'I only hope I'm not too late.' They thought desperately as they continued to run.
Back at the square; the trio took a few cautious steps forwards before suddenly something crashed into the ground in front of them. It then reared up and they saw what it was. It was Gillian, she had transformed again, into a third form. The only human feature left of Gillian was her head, tainted by blue skin, red eyes and brittle white scale like hair. The rest of her body resembled and blue and red scaly massive dragonfly with a large stinger in its tail. Gillian glared at them.
"You fools; you thought you had killed me, wrong." She snarled. "Now, I will crush you like the insects you are."
Cashmere scowled, remembering how Gillian had attacked her mind earlier. "Insects, you're the one who looks like an insect to me."
"Silence!" Gillian screeched. "You dare insult a God; you will die for your foolishness!"
She then lunged forwards to attack.
They immediately dove out of the way; managing to narrowly avoid the stinger as it struck the ground where they had been standing. They opened fire with their strongest weapons, however Gillian did not react. Instead she turned and breathed fire again, aiming at Lydia and Shayla who were grouped together. They were forced to dodge, although Shayla screamed as one of the flames licked her left arm and leg, leaving her with burns. She hit the ground in a heap, but quickly recovered and, gritting her teeth against the pain, joined in the continued shooting. Still nothing seemed to work; their strongest weapons seemed to have no effect as Gillian continued to attack. Flying above them and constantly on the move; this meant most of their shots missed, but those that did hit, did nothing to her. Gillian laughed unpleasantly as they finally emptied their strongest weapons, leaving them with nothing but handguns to use now.
"Ha, your puny weapons are nothing to me." She declared. "Try all you want, you will fail here."
"This…This is it, we're finished." Lydia gasped as she regrouped with the other two.
The trio stood grim and defiant, maybe Lydia was right; but they weren't going to back down in a hurry.
Just then however they heard a voice calling out to them.
"Quickly, catch this, use it, it's your only chance!"
They looked up in time to see and object be thrown to them from the rooftops. Lydia quickly caught it and realized what it was. It was the experimental new Umbrella weapon; the Linear Launcher.
"But this is…"
"It works, trust me!" The voice called out again. "Just use it; it's your only hope against her."
With that they heard the footsteps as the figure left the area.
Cashmere gasped. "Lydia, that voice…"
"No time!" Lydia cried as Gillian began to move again.
"As if some new weapon will help you!"
Lydia took aim and decided to take her chances. She opened fire, letting out blast after blast from it. Each time a blast struck Gillian she howled in pain until finally the gun was empty. As the last blast struck her Gillian shrieked.
"How, impossible, I am a God, I cannot…!"
Suddenly her body seemed to destroy itself as she slowly disintegrated. Finally she vanished into a pile of ash, Lydia dropped the now empty and useless Linear Launcher, it was over; Gillian was finally dead.
They caught their breath and Lydia went to see to Shayla's burns. Shayla shook her head however.
"We don't have time mom, we can check it once we're on the chopper."
Lydia nodded; although she was still worried. Cashmere then walked up.
"Lydia, that person who helped us, that voice…I recognized it."
Lydia sighed. "I know, so did I…It was him Cashmere, I'm sure of it."
"Jason." Cashmere breathed. "So he was here, maybe without Umbrella knowing it…Do you think he?"
Lydia nodded. "It's Jason; Cashmere, he's probably already out of this by now."
Cashmere nodded; they were running out of time however so they hurried on, they had to get to the town square before it was too late.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
