Chapter 5
Seth quickly scoped out the entrance hall, he turned to the others.
"Alright, we need to hurry, if we don't find the labs quickly, they'll be shut down."
Katrina nodded as Dylan spoke. "We can't afford to split up though, if we're not quick, we'll lose valuable evidence."
"True...We don't need to worry about the upper levels however." Seth noted. "So, let's get searching, the entrance is here, somewhere."
Victoria and Carl nodded in agreement and together they began their search. They remained wary while they searched, listening in case any more Majini attacked; but the hotel was as quiet as a tomb, at least, on the floor they were on. As they searched with the others, Katrina and Dylan paused briefly.
"Katrina, I..." He began.
She shook her head. "I know what you're going to say Dylan, it's alright, I understand. I'm worried too."
They were thinking of their son, Jayden and the potential future. Here they were, on their riskiest mission to date; all to secure a future where he could live in peace and not have to fight for his life like they had. It had been dangerous enough for him throughout all his life so far.
Them all being on the run from Umbrella, becoming a target when they made their stand, even being kidnapped along with Seth's kids and Shayla. They swore they would do whatever it took so he didn't have to be afraid anymore. But they feared how he would react, if the cost of that was one, or both, of their lives.
Just then, Carl suddenly called out.
"Hey, over here."
They hurried to join him and saw he was standing next to a door.
"According to the plans we saw, this door should go to the basement, which in itself isn't an issue." He remarked, before pointing. "But a simple door like that doesn't need to have a hi-tech security keypad, does it?"
Sure enough, there was one such keypad.
Seth smiled. "You're right, this is suspicious, let's see now, has to be some way to..."
They were trying to find a way to open the door, they had no time to search for the code and guessing it might cause a problem. Just then, the door was opened for them, from the inside, with great force.
They were blasted back as the door and part of the surrounding wall just blasted outwards. Recovering they looked up and saw another Majini, unlike the ones from before. This one was huge, wearing a blood-soaked black cloth over its head that concealed its face, and a large black apron, tattered and soaked in blood. It was very tall and had the physique of a power-lifter.
It also had dozens of nails protruding from every few square inches of its exposed skin, including three very large hooks impaled into its back. Its most notable feature, however, was its weapon of choice: a very large and heavy axe with what appeared to be an oversized hammer opposite to the blade, attached with chains.
Struggling to his feet, Seth hissed.
"Oh shit, not good, not good."
The monstrous creature advanced, slowly but with purpose. They quickly opened fire, trying to do enough damage to stop it. But this thing's head barely reacted to the shots, nor did any of the body parts hit.
"Urgh, guys, this isn't working!" Victoria cried out.
Dylan yelled and leapt to the side as the giant Majini, raised its axe and slammed it down, right where Dylan had been. With a dark growl the creature instead reached out with a free hand, grabbed Katrina by the throat and threw her through the open doorway.
"Katrina!" Dylan yelled, before firing at the monster in a fit of rage.
Seth shook his head. "Dylan, keep it together; we get past this guy and then we find her."
Dylan growled but nodded, calming down. Just as the beast went to heft its axe again, Seth closed in and, aiming point blank range, fired his shotgun right into its face. The beast staggered before falling backwards and finally lay still; dead.
Catching their breath Seth nodded to Dylan and together with Victoria and Carl, they hurried through the doorway and down the stairs, hearing Katrina suddenly scream. They rounded the corner and froze. Katrina was on the floor, pushing herself back with her feet, gritting her teeth and shooting, she had several tears in her clothing, as well as several slashes, she had been attacked.
Thankfully they knew that this virus could not be passed via this means. But it was her attackers that caught their attention. The first group of B.O.W.s were flying and they had been identified as Kipepeo. As for the others in the group, they had identified them as Reapers, insectoid like creatures with scythe like arms. Wasting no time, they opened fire, attempting to save Katrina.
Their sudden arrival had startled the B.O.W.s giving them an initial edge.
"Katrina, quickly, now!" Dylan cried out.
Wasting no time, Katrina recovered and rushed to join the others, continuing to shoot at the gathered B.O.W.s. Thankfully there were not many of them and, despite their strength, they were able to finally kill them.
At once Victoria, the team's medic, got to work treating Katrina's injuries, while the others recovered and reloaded.
After sharing reports with the others and finding out that they too had faced heavy attacks as well, they realized the truth. Their raid had been anticipated, it was a trap, but they had no choice, they had to press on and end things before it was too late.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
