Jake

Hunk grabbed his arm as he lunged at him and used Jake's own bodyweight against him. He easily flung the red haired male to the ground and disarmed him. "You don't want to do this, kid. I'm one of Wesker's oldest colleagues. If he'd turn on me like this what do you think he'd do to you when you're no longer useful?"

Jake told him, "That won't happen," He got up tackling Hunk around the waist and he knocked the knife away. Hunk fended him off with a jub to the gut. Jake staggered back and Hunk kicked him in the side and he hit him with a karate chop to the face. Jake fell over and Hunk pounced on him. Jake kicked him off and followed up with a left elbow to the face. Jake went for his pistol but Hunk tackled him. "Bringing a knife to a gunfight an a gun to a fist fight. Jake, I got years more experience than you do."

"Yeah and I'm half your age," Jake growled. The two exchanged punches and kicks and by some miracle Hunk's mask stayed on. Jake's lip was busted and Hunk kicked him in the chest. Jake grabbed Hunk's leg and pulled him to the ground. He punched Hunk in the jaw. "I'm gonna rip that mask off your face, asshole!" Jake yelled. Hunk growled back, "Over my dead body."

Jake hit him with an upward palm thrust sending him flying back. Hunk hit the ground and Jake brought a downward piercing kick onto the man's abdomen. Hunk came up trying to catch his breath and gain the upper hand. He hit Jake with five jabs to the abdomen and face and kicked him to send him back. He grabbed his MP5 and was going to shoot but Jake ran towards him. He fired at Jake but Jake rolled to evade predicting when and where he would shoot. One round did graze Jake in the left arm but Jake tackled him and forced him against the wall of the roof top.

He knocked the weapon away and punched Hunk. Hunk stepped away going for his own combat knife. "What are you going to do if he asks you to kill Sherry? Did you think about that? She's on the other side. You think he's going to let the two of you ride off into the sunset? You had a rough childhood...I get it. I've gotten to know you these last three years. But you're not really cut out for this. You're still a human bing. You're not a machine like me and you're not a tyrant like your father."

"What's the matter, Hunk? You getting cold feet?"

"When I've served a man for years and he sends his own son to come and kill me, I have to wonder if maybe I've been on the wrong side. Or if I'm just in the wrong line of work. I think I finally see what the STARS members were driving at. I'll be sure and send Wesker your corpse. Before I shove my Machine Gun up his ass."

Jake got his knife too and he lunged at JHunt. Hunk disarmed him again and he started to bring his knife down toward Jake's stomach. "Give it up. This is your last chance!" Jake grabbed his wrist and reversed it taking the blade from him. He stabbed the knife into Hunk's right hand. The man howled in pain under the mask. Jake grabbed his own knife again and he punched Hunk in the face before forcing him to take the mask off. Jake snatched up his pistol and fired a round into each of Hunk's knee cap and teh man howled in pain more writing in agony as a crimson pool formed under his legs.

He revealed a Caucasian male who had been a burn victim. Jake handed him his mask back allowing him one more moment of dignity. Hunk put it back on. Jake grabbed his own knife again and plunged it into Hunk's throat. Blood sprayed like a geyser covering Jake's face. He let his corpse hit the ground with a flood. He took the man's weapons and ammunition but he decided to set it aside for the moment and he picked up the body.

He tossed the body over the edge letting it hit the streets below with a splat. The zombies down below took notice of this and began to gravitate toward it. Jake got out of sight however as he saw that his next two targets were still down there.

Meanwhile, Keith and Quint took notice of the mangled mess that had once been one of Umbrella's assasins. "Is that Hunk?! What the hell, Grinder? I thought he was unkillable!" Keith eyed the mess and the zombies who were movingg on their next meal. "Whoever killed this guy had to be one bad dude. Stay frosty, Q."

Leon

He had stolen a car on his way up to where the base would be. He was just south of New Delhi now and was on is way into the city but it looked like a war zone and it was. He wanted to avoid the worst of it. He drove the jeep past a road block that the military had set up. He saw it was an army checkpoint that had been overrun. He'd had to stop several times and he'd used up a lot of ammunition. He was pretty much out of ammo for the last time he had gotten gas. There had been a herd of zombies and to even make it back to the jeep he'd had to use up all his ammo and club a few to death. He got out of the jeep and started searching the corpses. He was grateful to find 5.56 rounds but is Handgun was fucked up.

He took a Sig Sauer P320 off one of the dead soldiers. The soldier was a Caucasian male. His face was bloody and he'd had his throat cut. Presumably from one of the Rahkshasa. He spotted a few bodies of previous carriers too. It seemed the soldiers had been attacked by both the opposing forces as well as the infected. He took as many magazines for the Assault Rifle as he could. Just then, one of the soldiers, an African American woman grabbed his arm. She'd been shot at least five times in the torso. "Wat are you doing...?" She demanded her voice hoarse. "I thought you were all dead...what happened? Was this all just from the war?"

She coughed and he looked for a cantine to give her. He found one clutched in the hands of a dead Asian American soldier a corporal J. Fong. He gave the wounded soldier something to drink. She drank thirstily but coughed and he told her, "Take it easy...just relax...it's not going anywhere..."

"The Bhāratīya Thalsēnā...we were moving in on them...they were fighting us hard but they were on the retreat...but then...the Peoples Liberation Army...they came...and they started ambushing us.. there was too many of them...we had to start retreating...but not all of us could make it... we held out for a while... but then..the Russians...we could have taken them individually...but against them all..? We had no chance..."

"That's the thing about being the strongest military. Second, third, and fourth best will team up against you."

"I thought...India was our ally..." She said coughing up blood. He checked her wounds out. She'd taken four in the right side of the chest, two in the stomach and one had hit her in the side. "Can you walk? i'm going to help you up. We can try and find you some help..."bbbbbbbbbbbbb

The woman, who's name was A. Waters, said, "The hospital...we shelled it...I can't believe it...we killed civilians over here...just because a few tangos fired at us...the people in the hospital should have been evacuated...why didn't their own military evacuate them...?"

"I don't know...the virus, the war, it's destroying everything..."

"All because...people...wanted to let...governments be run by corporations...I was the first...woman in my family to serve...i came from a long line of boys that did...all the way back to the Revolution...I got a brother fighting...but...I don't know if he's alive or dead...I don't know if I'll ever get to find out..."

He helped her to her feet. "We're going to try and find him...is he stationed here?"

"No...the middle east..."

From what Leon had heard as the radios had not stopped going, what stations he could find in English. "We're still over there?"

"Yeah...each superpower...trying to make everybody decide what side they're gonna be on...because if the Iraq war and Afghanistan...more are against us...I want to go home...bu...I've been hearing this is happening eveywhere...there may not be a home to go back to...it's all lost..."

"I know...things are falling apart...but I'm here to stop that...we can rebuild it. We can't give up hope..."

"Yeah but...many more will have to die...so many innocents died...already...all these people...killed by zombies in all these cities...people just trying to go about their day..whoever...or whatever is behind this...it's gonna take more people to fight them all...people who will have to sacrifice themselves...just to stop this..."

She fell out of his arms coughing more blood up. She fell face first coughing more blood onto the pavement. She wheezed and he told her, "Hang in there! There's gotta be some people left alive in the hospital!"

She twitched a few times and stopped moving. He flipped her onto her back. He was about to perform CPR when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He saw a man throwing something his way. He moved aside instinct kicking in. A few strands of his sandy colored hair was taken off as the blade went hit the body of the female soldier. "It's been a long time, Leon. Over twelve years. I'd ask how you've been but I know you've been doing better than I have..."

He looked and saw who it was. "Krauser! How are you even alive?! I killed you back in Spain."

The man sneered. "That's where you're wrong, comrade. You ALMOST killed me. It was the bitch that actually did. But thanks to Wesker's generosity, I survived. He brought me back. Took a few years to pull it off. He had me dealing with problems of his around the world but I don't now why he never sent me after Ada. Or you. He expected Ada to take care of you and I knew the bitch couldn't be trusted. So maybe he wanted to catch up with her and bend her neck hmself. But now he's got his hands tied with trying to find Jill Valentine so he's left you and her up to me."

Leon had his Assault Rifle aimed at Krauser. "I still don't get you, Krauser. You and me, we were a team. Back in South America. We did the right thing there but all you cared about was becoming more powerful even if iy was through unnatural means. You betrayed your own country. That makes you the traitor, not Ada."

"Same old Leon. Blindly patriotic. If you haven't noticed, these American soldiers have been killing civilians here. Gunning them down just because they belong to the same country as the army they're fighting. I remember what I was told once. That American soldiers were just a machine with no soul. But I couldn't deal with regular life. Outside of the military I had nowhere to go. But those people were right. Our country has just done what it always has. Never goes in to just take down the enemy. There's always gotta be somebody who goes too far."

"Attrocities have been commited by every army on earth. And what are you, Krauser? Are you a pacifist now? You one of the good guys again just because you're out to get me and Ada? Or because you'll kill anyone in your way of doing that?"

"I'm not a soldier of the US military anymore. I'm a soldier of the world to come. I see what's wrong with what we have now. As much as I love combat, it can't all be for noting. The war is only as good as the cause we're fighting for. I'm not like you, Leon. I don't get to be the white knight who saved Manuela Hidalgo or Ashley Graham. No. i'm the guy Uncle Sam sent in to do the dirty jobs even our boys on the ground won't or can't do. Nobody back home likes to acknowledge guys like me. They'd spit in our faces back in the 70's. But men like me have been the ones winning wars since the beginning of time."

"You're just a pawn for Wesker. You don't care about doing anything that'; right. You don't even believe half of what you say. You're just fighting for the sake of a fight. With no regard for what it is you're fighting for. You are EXACTLY what you just described in other people. You're a slave. You don't believe in anything."

Jack chuckled. "Oh, and you do? You're not a pawn? Chris Redfield is dead and yet you're still fighting his war. All trying to destroy Umbrella. Trying to destroy bioterrorism. Discontinue BOW's. But Bio Organic Weapons are just like firearms. There's always going to be a soldier who has the need to use them and a will to use to them. As long as there are conflicts, there's going to be viral outbreaks. It's not about Umbrella anymore. Umbrella has been outlawed. And that's done the BSAA and Raccoon survivors like you about as much good as prohibition did to stop drinking. Now you just made it grow."

"I'm no slave. I believe in what we're doing. The world is hell enough without having undead cannibals to deal with. I've believed that since 98' and I've been willing to put an end to that since then. Long before I met you. You're not as significant as you think."

Krauser sneered. "We'll see about that," He ran over to his knife in a flash and snatched it from the corpse of the woman. He came up swinging and Leon dodged a swing from it and then another as Krauser lunged at him again. Leon kicked him and sent him back. Krauser got back on his feet and fired his M4A1 hitting him with six rounds but ten rounds missed him as he dodged. He lunged for Leon again and he cut him on his right arm. Leon fired a burst at his face but he dodged moving aside from the next seven rounds. Krauser appeared behind him saying, "Better watch out, comrade. A few inches closer I would have gotten an artery."

He rammed into Leon body slamming him and sent him flying forward knocking the wind out of him. Leon tried to catch his breath and he heard Krauser grunt and out of instinct, rolled out of the way trying to get air to his lungs. Krauser slammed down barely missing him as he brought the blade down. He saw Leon had just barely evaded and Leon knew he was going to try and stab him. He had his Handgun in his hands and didn't even remember pulling it out as he had last had his Rifle out but he fired hoping to God he wasn't dry on ammo and had forgotten to reload. As three rounds came out each hitting his former partner in the face, Leon felt a rush of relief in is chest as he weakly stood up. Leon mustered up as much strength as he could as Krauser staggered back with his hand over his face, blood seeping through his fingers.

He gave him a roundhouse kick to the side of the head and knocked him on his back. He fired two more rounds hitting him in the chest. Leon grabbed the Assault Rifle and he fired into his chest emptying the magazine. He backed away reloading his Rifle. "You really think you're going to live to see the end of tis, comrade?"

"I don't know...but I'm going to make sure you don't."

He fired a three round burst aiming for Jack's left eye but he missed and Jack came speeding around to him again. Leon it him with the butt of the rifle before Jack could try and use his knife on him. Krauser angrily followed up giving Leon a kick in the chest that sent him flying. Leon dropped his pistol and Rifle in the street. Leon weakly got to his feet noticing a Humvee speed by and he thought he saw an American soldier firing a .50 at somebody. Krauser grabbed him by the collar. "See what I mean? You're fighting for all of these people and none of them give a damn about you. Where are our boys in uniform now? Where's a soldier when you need one?!"

Leon was punched in the face blinded by it. He staggered trying to regain his vision and Krauser sped alongside him hitting him again. He grabbed Leon by the hair and Leon reached for his combat knife. He gritted his teeth as Krauser punched him. "Uniform aside..." He gasped. "You're looking at him!" He plunged the knife into Krauser's gut. The man staggered letting Leon go and Leon tackled him and the man fell to the ground and Kennedy ripped the blade from his stomach and stabbed him again. And again. Four, five, six stabs. Jack kicked him off but Leon rolled away this time and got into a crouched position. Jack grabbed his own knife again and grinned sadistically. "That's more like it. Blade for blade. Just like in Europe. That was FUN wasn't it?!"

"Easy for you to say," Leon stated. "You got super human speed and strength. And a knife. All I have is a knife."

Jack sneered at his old partner. "Now I expected more from you than that. You've faced tougher odds than this haven't you? I know I have. Mixcoatl was a pain in the ass. Then again, you had me helping you and i didn't have my abilities yet. So I wasn't at my full potential and you needed me. So maybe now is different...but still..you killed Mendez, Salazar and Saddler, didn't ya? Got the girl back safe and sound to her daddy. Tell me, comrade...did you sample the soils of war?"

Leon didn'yt answer. He just circled Krauser who walked in a circle to parry this. "Not answering is an answer. That's why you got fired isn't it? Lucky you. I heard you'd said no. But then, that's just the official record isn't it? Well who knows. Maybe you'll get lucky today too. Like now. All you have to do is maybe jam that blade into one or both of my eyes and you might have a chance. If you can get that close," Leon swung his blade this time and Jack's clinked against his. Leon swung again and they swung at each other, their blades clashing as though they were swordsman from the victorian era.

They backed off a moment glring at each other. It's not his eyes I have to watch out for... Leon thought, remembering before. "So what happened? You get your arm fixed by now?"

Jack smirked. "You wish. I've still got a trick or two up my sleeve. And then some. But you'l find out soon enough. But that wouldn't be much fun if i gave it all away just yet would it?" he lunged at Leon again and he nicked Leon's right cheek and Leon backed up nearly falling but he did a roll. He got back on his feet using the blade to parry Krauser's attacks as he came at im again, taking everyu manuever in his training just to stay alive while it seemed Krauser was only toying with him.

He kicked the other man in the left knee and he grunted but lunged at Leon and Leon did a back flip landing in a crounching position again. He body slammed Leon and knocked him to the ground coming at him. Leon backed against a wall holding his knife up feebly as he came towards him. He knew he had to take a chance. He threw the blade into Krauser's chest and to his surprise it did stock the man in his tracks. Krauser tried to remove his knife from his chest but Leon took advantage of his surprise giving what strength he had while he was winded to kick Krauser's hjands. Krauser dropped the knife and Leon caught it. He tackled im and grabbed both knives plunging both into him stabbing him at least a dozen times between the two of them in his chest and stomach. Krauser caught one of Leon's arm and then then the other and was about to make the blades stab into him. The left one started to push into his chest and puncture but Leon drove his knee into his groin and Krauser uppercutted him sending him hitting the ground hard.

Leon coughed struggling to get up while Krauser tossed the two knives aside. "All right. That was a nice enough warm up for now. Time to turn the heat up. I hope you can handle it cause I really wanted the pleasure of gutting you in front of Ada. Or her in front of you. That's ideally anyway. But before you die, tell me something. Where are you headed? You know this city is a war zone. And if it's Wesker you're looking for you came the wrong way."

Leon scoffed. "I doubt that. And even if that is true, it's still where he's going to be. And you know exactly why I'm going where I am. I got a question of my own though. How did you know where I'd be? Were you looking for me or Ada?"

"That sounds like more than one question."

"Fine."

"For starters, I got wind of it from friends in high places. Plus I met a friend of yours. Tell me...in all your womanizing you ever been with a sexy tan brunette? Secretery looking type? Glasses?"

In fact, Leon had. But there was no way he could know that. "What...Hunnigan...?"

"Yeah...that's the one. She said you'd be here. You and Ada."

"What did you do?"

He reached in his pocket with a chuckle and tossed Leon something. "Catch!" Leon did. It was a smashed up pair of glasses with bloodstains on them. "Hunnigan! No...you son of a bitch! She did nothing to you!" He yelled. Krauser scowled. "You know as well as I do that in war you don't just take out the soldiers trying to kill you. You take our their radio men too. Or in your case, radio woman. She wasn't meant to survive. If she hadn't picked up the skills you and i have by now, in this world? Survival of the fittest my friend."

Leon gritted his teeth with rage. All though he hated Krauser even more for killing his friend, he knew in a way he was right. There wasn't much need for her to be armed in the Spanish situation but with the events of Tall Oaks and being so close to Simmons things could have gone south fast there and she should have learned to defend herself. Still he was saddened at her death. To have met her end at the hands of a brute like him. Ingrid...I'll make sure he pays for this.

He fired hitting him in the stomach but Krauser did a flip and six rounds mixxed him but Leon followed him with the fire. He hit him with times in the left arm. Krauser grinned. "You remember this? Well I got an upgrade."

He began to mutate as he had before but this time both arms turned to the appendage it had before. "Wow, Krauser. So this is what you sold your soul for? An extra arm?"

"Souls..." Krauser said with a sneer. "There's no such thing. Everything that you are, everything we are is our minds. When the brain dies, we die. There is no God. No afterlife. Don't get me wrong. I don't believe Wesker's a God so muchas a visionary. A genuis. If he can find a way to cure death, that makes him better than a God. No God in any religion could ever do that."

"Yeah but the trade off is that you aren't yourself."

"Oh I'm myself, Leon. And Wesker was who he was before he became the next stage of evolution. Our will doesn't change. Besides, if that's true, then that little coward, Steve Burnside must not be on your side anymore. If the virus is so bad."

"Look around you, Krauser. The world is falling apart because of your hero. This 'new world isn't any different. It's more of the same. Only worse."

Krauser came at him again and he tried to back away but Krauser knocked ino him sending him flying back. Leon hit the ground hard but his Rifle hadn't landed too far away.. He tried to breathe as he did and Krauser had jumped up in the air and brought an arm down. He had moved out of the way. The blade came crashing down but he was out of the way but Leon felt his arm rake at his side on the left side leaving a gash near his rib cage. He fired his Assault Rifle after having reloaded. Jack knocked the weapon away however in a sweep with his other arm.

Leon backed up firing his Handgun. The man dodged again but three rounds hit him and he brought his right arm around and stabbed into Leon's chest He bent over gasping as blood rushed from the wound on the right side of his chest. He collapsed falling over, unable to breathe. He tried to grab his pistol but Krauser stepped on his hand.

"This is the end of the line for you, comrade."

Krauser was about to bring the blade down on Leon whn he stopped abruptly. He pulled something out of his back and Leon saw it was a bloody bolt. Leon weakly realized he had found her. Three more hit him in the back and he turned around. He spotted the Asian American aiming at him. Krauser scowled at her. "Well well well. If it isn't Wesker's favorite traitor. You've got impecible timing, bitch."

"Time is one thing I don't have for you, Krauser. You're small time," Jack smirked at this. "That right? Then why are you here? To save lover boy's life?"

Ada coldly put in some explosive bolts into her weapon. Jack chuckled. "Is that what I think it is? You're not going to shoot me with one of those while Leon is incapacitated. We both know that."

"Then you don't know me as well as you think. I'm only back because a birdy told me you were looking for me and I don't need any distractions between me and Wesker. So if you're going to get in my way I'd rather it be now than later."

Jack snorted. "You're bluffing. You wouldn't let Leon die."

"If it meant getting rid of you and Wesker I would."

Leon was trying to breathe but he could feel the air in his lungs being crushed. He had a collapsed right lung. He tried to get his medical kit out but he spilled it. He didn't know if Ada was serious about not caring or bluffing but in case the former was true he realized he might have to rely on himself if he wanted to live. Either way, it was good if he was preoccupied with her.

"No. Because if that were the case you would have killed him in Spain. You disobeyed orders. That makes you an insubordinate. You know what happens to soldiers who disobey orders? They die."

Ada sneered. "Maybe in Angola. But this isn't the US military, Krauser. You're not a soldier anymore. You're just a pathetic old man trying to regain some of his old glory by trying to fight in what you think is the ultimate war. And as for Leon, I knew he had a sample of the plagas back then and I needed it."

"Wesker got that sample. You may have tried to screw him over but he still got it. You're not as clever as you think. This little game of cat and mouse? This aint Tom and Jerry, sweetheart. This is reality and in reality the cat catches the mouse. So I call bullshit on that. It wasn't about the sample."

"You forget. I stole it for the organization. I did complete my mission. I got the sample. It may not have ended up in Wesker's hands but I got it. Now that hat's happened and it served my own needs I don't need him anymore."

Krauser told her, "I don't believe you."

She smiled wickedly. "Then stand still, Jack. If you're so sure I wouldn't put his life in danger just to kill you, then you shopiuldn't try and dodge,," She fired a bolt and the red light and beeping that followed as iot punctured his skin was soon seen and heard by all three of them and Krauser growled, "You bitch! What kind of soldier doesn't care about the man at your side?!" He sped off away from Leon and this surprised Leon. The explosion went off and it damaged part of Krauser's left arm and it took a huge chunk of his flesh out. She fired another into him but he quickly ripped this one out of himself and flung it back at her but by this time she had the grapple gun out and had fired it across the street being carried over jkust as the eplosion went off behind her.

She soon got to the ground level again and he charged at her then stopped advancing slowly with his shield arms out. "You forgot one thing, Jack. I'm the cat. Not the mouse. Wesker just believes he's the cat."

She fired another bolt and hit him in the right leg. Krauser hgrunted with anger and it exploded and it blew his knee caps out. He roared in pain as this happened and his chest was exposed. She was out of explosive bolts so she fired regular ones into his chest, four of them. She followed up scooping up one of the Rifles, this one a T91 and she fired into Jack's chest and up to his head. Four rounds hit him in the forehead. Krauser fell over writhing. Ada rushed to Leon and she grabbed the needle putting it into his chest cavity and the air was released. She helped him to his own jeep and put him in the passenger side. "Leave that in...I'll be right back..." She assured him.

She went back, firing the rest of the Chinese Assault Rifle nailing him with five more rounds in the head and the rest in his chest. She got into the drivers seat as she reloaded and collected Leon's weapons too. Krauser's knees slowly but surely started to heal. He spat a few bullets out as well. He was still limping and he could not do much more than this. She started up the vehicle and started to drive off. "You were...just going to...kill me?" Heasked?" As his breathing was normal again. "No," She said. "It was a bluff."

"Yeah but how did you know he would move out of the way? How did you know he wouldn't just stand by me or toss it back at you? It was a risky move. I wuld never be that reckless with your life. I took care of you when you had your concussion."

"Leon, he wants to kill you himself. He wouldn't have let me rob him of that. But you're in no condition to fight him now. I did come back to take care of him. I still have some friends left in the organization that owe me a favor or two and they found him on camera. He was after me and you. You weren't that far behind me so it was the rigght thing to do."

And she then smiled saying, "Besides, I've seen how well you drive. Listen...I know you took care of me in New York. And before in Raccoon. After I took care of your gunshot. So maynbe it's my time to help you again. ou're not going to die on me, Leo. Just hold on..."

Just then they both were startled as Krauser landed on the hood of the jeep trying to get in. He busted through the windshield smashing it down with his left arm. "Not that easy..." He growled.

Ada swerved and nearl crashed bu Leon grabbed his pistol which she had reloaded for him. "Sorry Krauser. Thisride's full," He fired seven shots four of them hitting him in the chest one in the cheek one in the temple and oe in the left eye. He fell off the hood of the car his arm hooked into the smashed up glass and as he fell off he took it with him but he fell onto the street as they were starting to speed up, the jeep going up to 55. He hit his already bleeding head on the street and his body bounced several times.

Leon knew he wasn't likely dead but he would be incapacitated for a while and they had at least bough themselves some time. Leon was stil in pain but he felt reliief at this. They had about a quarter tank of gas left. "We're going to have to stop soon. We won't make it out of the city..." He warned.

"I know and you're not in any condition to help me. If you want to come with me to the base, you'll have to get fixed up. You might even need surgery. This won't be the last time we see Krauser so when we do fight him again, I need you to be ready. Because Wesker is going to be a lot harder to kill. Chris Redfield couldn't do it. Sheva couldn't and Jill couldn't."

Thy pulled to a stop at what had been some fancy hotel. "What is this place?" He asked. "Somewhere you can get rested up for a few days. We'll have to keep releasing that air pressure in your chest. It would be better if we knew where Rebecca was. She learned how to do surgery over the years she isn't just a medic she's a surgeon. Or at least she has some knowldge on how to do it."

"That's not very reassuring..." Leon said. "It's the best we have. First we'll have to see how bad it is."

He heard a familiar female voice. "Leon!" He got out of the jeep weakly and saw Claire. She hugged him and he hugged her back but to his surprise he also saw Chris. "You're...out of your coma? What..."

Claire told him, "It's a long story. What happened to you?"

Ada answered her. "Ewually long story. We need to get him some medical attention as soon as we can."

She also saw Steve was there. Steve shook Leon's hand and then Claire filled them in on what had happened. "We're laying low up there for now but we need to move up north soon. Sheva and Sherry went to Nepal to drop our children off. Where' Jill and Josh? I thought they were with you?"

"We got separated...Ada wanted to come up towards the base alone. The one we've been looking for. Hunnigan found it...Krauser...he's alive. He killed Hunnigan..."

Ada told them, "Jill and Josh should be headed this way soon enough. We need to give Leon a few days for his injuries to heal. Rebecca and Billy went up this way too and they're the ones who could probably help him but they're gone. They're going the same way I assume. It's all coming down to this base. I expect Wesker will be there. Whatever he has cooking up there, he'll want to protect from us. Even I don't know what to expect there."

Leon turned to Chris. "How much do you remember now? Claire said it's been coming back to you."

"I remember you obviously...I remember reading about your report on Spain...and I'm starting to get memories of a ship..."

Claire smiled. "It's all coming back. ItWe'll need some time before Chris is ready to face Wesker too."

Chris admitted, "I don't want to face Wesker without Jill..."

Claire told him, "You won't have to. Jill and Josh should be here soon. You'll remember Josh soon. And Sheva..."

"I hope so," Chris said with some uncertainity in his voice, the middle aged man looking very tired.

All right that's it for chapter 44. Next chapter will be longer and yes that was the end of Hunk. Jake is really a bastard isn't he? What do you think it would take to turn him god again? To all of you who are saying how he went dark side I mean i did intend to give him a Vader/Luke relationship where if Luke turned dark but the thing is Jake was never "Good" to start with i mean he was more morally ambiguous. He was a merc most of his life kind of like Hunk only with a face.

I had heard Hunk had taken his mask off before ik. I never played Operation Raccoon City i heard it sucked so idk much about Hunk aside from RE 2 and his mercenary playability. Yet a lot of people like him. If you think about it, Hunk is like teh Bobba Fett of Resident Evil.

As for Leon he has a punctured lung so he's incipacitaed but it won't kill him. There will be another time jump in a few chaptewrs not sure when to where Chris and the others will hae to hide out a few years before actually being able to get to that base. And Wesker will be delayed for his own reasons mostly the war making it hard for travel in India but also he's now lookingf for Jill who now has their daughter back. Jill will also be reeunited with Chris next chapter as she doesn't realize he's awake yet.

Neither does Wesker for that matter. What do you guys think? Would Wesker ask Jake to kill Sherry or do you think he'd just try and have him take her sothey could expiriment on her? Do you think Hunk is right?

And all though Leon survived this encounter with Hunk, this is not the last we have seen of him. I won't give too much of a spoiler but if you're wondering if Leon or Ada will kill Krauser it's gonna be Leon. I mean the way i See it Leon gets credit for it in RE 4 but Ada really did it. Where as Leon just fucked him up pretty badly. So maybe this time arond I'll have Ada fuck him up pretty badly, and have Leon kill him. I said what would happen so slight spoiler I'm sorry but you probably knew Krauser would die by one of theirhands but I never said HOW it would happen.

I do intend to have another lemon m in the next chapter soon. I'm thinking one maybe two involving Claire spaced out in different chapters, one would be a flashback though, and then Leon will have one in a past tense maybe. Or maybe I'll save that fo my story A World Without Fear instead as far as this lemon that will happen. It won't be a romantic thing in either case it'd be more of a casual fling thing kinda like how I showd Leon and Helena but that was more of a friends with benefits deal. Leon is a man whore. Capcom at least implied he is. So I ran wild with it. Also I think Chris and Jill and Sheva need one more love scene before the final battle. And as far as those of you who prefer strictly Jill and Chris without a third person (You're so boring! lol jk) check out A World Without Fear. That'll be just Chris and Jill. That is the only pairing in that I will announce instead of just showing you but I aint saying when it won't be right away.

Realistically, this is going to be the first of my stories on fanfiction I will have completed and there's only 6 chapters left. I want to thank you all who have given feedback you haven't all been doing so on every chapter some just review here and there regardless thank you but especially thank you to Zilla 2000 and SFriend who have gone through each chapter even if you two are way behind lol. And those of you who give the long or medium range reviews you're the best!

I can see that many are pissed at Jake a cpuple of you want him beaten up others want him dead. I can't say which will happen but hopefully what does happen will be good enough. You're probably all still pissed from the chsaracter death last chapter too i imagine. Well it's only gonna get worse. A few more good guys will die. Anyway i wanted to update this before teh walking dead premiers tommorow so hope you enjoyed.
