Chapter 3
Rushing through the entrance of the skyscraper, Jason and his group readied their weapons, spreading out to cover as much as possible, but not get too far away to become isolated. They expected Umbrella employees to be in the reception, taken aback by the sudden intrusion; what they did not expect was the people within the reception to still be at ease, barely reacting.
'What the hell?' Tim wondered in shock, before recovering. "BSAA, nobody move, we…"
Before he could finish, Jason felt it. Thanks to his infection, Jason could sense the other infected, including the strength and spread of infection, even in different strains or viruses than the one infecting him.
Right now the lobby was teeming with viral signals. "Open fire!"
He immediately shot the person nearest, just as they roared and tried to charge at Tim. The rest of people in the lobby reacted, revealing their true selves and began attempting to attack them. Reacting quickly, all five opened fire against their attackers.
They knew the weaknesses of the human B.O.W.s., they were aiming for head shorts, but it wasn't easy. After scoring a few head shots, they found these ones were more difficult than any they had faced before. They were forced to dodge several times and sometimes either missed, or hit other body parts.
In the end, it took them each several shots, emptying their current clips and half-emptying the ones they used to reload with, but finally the enemy lay dead.
Wary but quickly, Lydia led her team into the old castle. They held their weapons at the ready, examining their surroundings; they had just entered the outer courtyard of the castle; it was strangely deserted.
"I don't like this..." Shayla commented.
Lydia nodded. "Yeah, this is clearly an ambush of some sort, but where…?"
Jacob replied at once. "Wait a minute; what sort of infected are we dealing with, I mean, if they can hide themselves, they might be like those, those B.O.W.s from two years ago."
"True...Our reports said they were called Majini and..." Ayame began to explain.
Suddenly they were cut off as suddenly, out of nowhere, the Majini appeared, many of them had been tending the gardens it seemed, based on their attire and weapons. All of them carried crude weapons.
"Of all the..." Lydia snarled.
They opened fire, only to be startled by the speed of these creatures.
"Fuck, we can't..." Jake called out, before ducking. "Bastard!"
He drew his knife and stabbed it into the creature's throat before yanking it back out and firing again. They quickly avoided further attacks and continued to fire at their enemies.
Ayame cried out. "Can't get the head shot, how are we supposed to kill these things?"
Shayla replied at once. "Only one way, everyone get back!"
They did so and watched as Shayla launched a grenade at the gathered Majini; they had been gathering to attack the team. That turned out to be a mistake, indeed, a large number of the remaining Majini were blown apart by the grenade. Shayla quickly opened fire on the survivors, managing to score head shots of all but one of them and kill them. The other charged, forcing Shayla to shoot it's knee to stun it. Lydia took the chance then to kill it; ending the current threat, but already things were looking bleak.
Team 3 did not have as much of a smooth entrance to their area as their colleagues. Almost immediately Victoria spotted the Majini waiting for them, weapons at the ready.
"There, infected!" She cried out.
With a short cry, Seth opened fire and yelled. "Don't give them a chance, take 'em down before they can get close!"
They had noted the Majini had only melee weapons, so their guns could give them an advantage. It did at first; but the speed and strength of their enemies took them by surprise and forced them to give ground, attempt to regroup and fight back as hard as she could. Seth nearly panicked, seeing his friends Dylan and Katrina, surrounded by some of the Majini.
"No!"
But they stood undaunted, back to back, firing at their attackers, buying the others enough time to shoot down enough of them to allow Katrina and Dylan to escape the press. Fighting some more, they soon secured the entrance to the hotel, with Carl finishing the last one off with his knife.
"Great, just what we need, new B.O.W.s even worse than any we've faced before." Carl growled. "What now?"
Seth shook his head. "We need to figure out what's happened to the others."
With that he used the radio to contact Jason and Lydia. Only to find that they too had faced these Majini and that things were looking grim. But they couldn't give up, they had to press on and end this, once and for all.
With their decision made, Jason shut the radio off.
"Alright, we need to get moving, we won't have time to search every floor...Some might be blocked off. Our best bet is search the most heavily guarded floors."
The other agreed with him and they made their way into the stairwell, hurrying up it.
It did not take them long to reach their first floor to search, floor ten, the remaining floors were locked, blocked off, or had no infected in them at all. Jason knew his father well enough, it was a confusing loop, the chain of thoughts that led to his decision, but the end result was, his father would ensure the important floors were heavily guarded.
"Let's go." He said softly.
Together they entered; almost immediately hearing yelling from inside. They were surrounded by Majini, one of them clearly in charge, agitating the situation.
"Fuck, not good." David snapped.
Cashmere shook her head. "Just shoot, don't worry about how it happened.
So began an intense firefight, which Jason knew would rapidly deteriorate for them, if something wasn't don't soon. Shooting down another pair of Majini, he quickly scanned the crowd, attempting to detect the strongest viral signal, he found it, the Agitator Majini. Reacting at once, he drew his knife and threw it with great force at the Agitator, hitting him squarely between the eyes.
The momentary confusion at the loss of their commander amongst the Majini gave Sappira a chance to grab what she had seen, the only object in the room that was clearly being guarded, being out of place. The room looked like a large skyscraper office which took up the whole floor, but this collection of documents were the only ones here. Once Sappira had the documents she regrouped with Tim and signalled Jason.
"Alright, David, Cashmere, now!" He called out.
They launched a trio of grenades and leapt back, the resulting explosion leaving only three Majini survivors. Tim drew his sword and rushed in, swiftly cutting the trio down. Relieved that the fight was finally over, although the room was trashed, they swiftly examined the documents Sappira found and all smiled.
Scanning the documents and sending them to HQ, who would put the information to use, they then destroyed the documents. They left the room, relieved that they had at least brought themselves one step closer to stopping Umbrella. They had found evidence of corrupt judges and officials that Umbrella had used to stay out of trouble all these years, now those men and women would be exposed and Umbrella would no longer be able to hide.
They still had a long way to go, but they were now a step closer to victory.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
