As time passed, it becomes clear to the B.S.A.A. the approach of Apocalypse. Satellite scanners go nuts at the site of the trail of death it leaves. Soldiers from around the world, from different branches, congregating to its estimated destination. In the hospital,where Leon and Ada were cared for, she still remains, awaiting full health, along with being bored as hell. Everyone was leaving, except for those who are guarding her. From around the corner, a man appears, his attire that of a high ranking captain. Most of his face was obscured from his gear, almost masked completely. He walks to the soldiers, appearing urgent. "I need you two to head off as well."
The two look at each other in confusion. "With all do respect, sir," on of them replies, "we have orders from our commander to remain here and guard Ada Wong."
"Change of plans, we're having her transport. The site of what's coming will make this a hot zone. I, along with a small group of doctors, will he taking her somewhere else."
"But… are orders are to…"
"Do you two want to be court martialed for disobeying direct orders from a superior officer?."
The two look at each other before answering. "No, sir."
They run out of the building, leaving the man with Ada. He checks around the halls, making sure no one else was around. He then removes his attire, which was concealing his real equipment. He wore a black armored vest, unusual devices on his wrists, and, after removing the mask, pulls out a type of gas mask to cover his face completely. It had a short muzzle and far more high tech than primitive types. "Much better," he lets out.
He enters the room, catching Ada off guard. "Who are you?"
"That depends," he says, "do you want to stay here?"
"Hmm… are you with that psycho?" she sounds sarcastic.
"You mean that Ruven guy? Crazy looking, really."
"Wait, you are with him?"
She suddenly jumps out from the bed. From under the sheets, she reveals her crossbow, awaiting a chance to escape. "Relax, after what he did, we won't let him go near you."
"Wait, 'we'?"
She turns on the dime, noticing another man, having somehow avoided her detection. He raises his wrist to her face, having a strange gas spray out. In an instant, she collapses, the man catches her. He wears a similar attire to the other man, except for strange items around him like decorations. Some spikes, other's teeth, and having a ski mask with white markings over it, showing only his eyes. "Perfect timing. Let's get her out of here."
The second man waits, looking at him questionably. Without needing to hear him, his friend knows what he's thinking. "Why should I carry her?"
He says nothing, yet he could tell just from the eyes. "Fine, but next time it's another rescue, you're carrying the person."
He hands her to him and the two run for the nearest exit.
On the outside, every citizen is being escorted out of the city by armored vehicles and soldiers. "Remain calm," a soldier says from a megaphone, looking over from the top of one of the vehicles. "Your safety is assured. Evacuate the city in a orderly fashion, and no one will be harmed."
Each person shows a different emotion, fear, annoyance, curiosity, concern, everything. No one really knows what was happen, but that would all change in an instant.
The two, along with Ada, still unconscious, make it out of the building. "Alright, we just need to make it to the boat and avoid whatever the hell is out there."
The other man looks at him curiously.
"I don't know what it is. But from Piers's message, it's not good."
Suddenly, the earthquakes come. The sound of vehicles and the people stop instantly. Only a few murmurs and questions.
"What was that?" "Is there an earthquake?" "What's happening?"
They come again, louder, more destructive. As if a giant was on the move, the quakes come like footsteps, growing louder and louder. The water by the shore blackens, the bodies of dead fish and other animals wash up onto shore. It arises from the water with a loud roar. Even though the people are far from the shore, and vision obscured by the buildings, they could still see it, appearing as an otherworldly monster. is changes form again, gaining what appears to be large limbs. Its head becoming shortened and muzzle-like. Its upper torso appearing larger than its lower as it edges closer and closer to land.
As this happens, chaos runs rampant through the streets. Calm and order go out the window, it was everybody for themselves. Most of the soldiers divide, some run to the creature to stop it. Some retreat, awaiting reinforcements. And as for the overseer, he remains, attempting to calm the people, with no success. To Apocalypse, the soldiers and people looked like ants, a simple bother, but of use. It begins to inhale with great force, actually causing a small vacuum as sand and air is drawn in. It was of no great concern to the soldiers, Apocalypse has its head raised to the sky, avoiding drawing them in. Then, with unbelievable quantity, strange gas begins to gather in its mouth as it stops.
From the center of the city, the remaining soldier sees what is happening and instantly attaches his gas mask and enters the vehicle. With no driver, having retreated, the man enters the driver seat and starts the engine. The people see the same thing and begin crowding the vehicle. Everyone enters the surrounding vehicles, people shoving and pushing to either get in or others out. As for those in with the soldier, they scream "START THE CAR!"
Then, it comes. Apocalypse exhales. The dark cloud rushes like a dust storm, covering everything in its path. The people shut the doors of the vehicles, leaving those outside to their fate. The cloud catches the soldiers in an instant. Right before it comes to the vehicles, the ones outside try to smash in the windows, to no success. The cloud comes in a flash, the gusting noise is so strong, it overlaps the screams of terror, and hides everything from site. Before the clouds come, the two men with Ada manage to hide out in one of the abandoned buildings. "Well, this is bad."
Everything is dark. The cloud blocks out any outside lights. The people use their phones and try to look out into the cloud, hoping to see survivors. No one could see more than a few feet, those outside having vanished. Suddenly, one of the men shouts. "Right there! What's that?!" The others look to see what the man is pointing to. Movement is seen in the cloud, only silhouettes, then comes the crashes. They could here windows from other vehicles shatter, followed by the screams of the people, mixed in with inhuman cries and hisses.
It all stops in an instant. No screams, no hisses, no roars, nothing. Suddenly, a bloody hand hits the window, desperate to get in. The man appears into view. "PLEASE, LET ME IN!?"
Everyone is too scared to do so, trying to back away from that side of the car. The man turns and is suddenly taken down by something. The screams and hisses return, followed by the man's screaming. Like before, it stops.
After some time, the cloud finally dissipates, revealing a bloody scene. Bodies torn to pieces, organs littered the ground, blood painted over everything. Some scream, others watch in silence. Finally, one of them has the guts to leave the vehicle, a woman. As she steps onto the ground, she trips. After the fall, she looks to see a hand under her foot. She kicks it away screaming, but then stops. She starts to hear deep hisses, like a gator. Drool falls to her shoulder. She slowly looks up at the top of the vehicle to see one of the creatures, waiting for an opportunity. Its skin was grey, brown, and rotting, what was left of the head was just a mouth with jagged teeth, no eyes, no nose, just teeth. Different parts of the creature were mutated. A hand replaced by hooked tendrils, feet turned to grasshopper-like limbs, the torso elongated and rigid, nothing human remained. It gives a demonic scream luering the others, then… chaos again.
People are running out of the vehicles, either by choice or the site of "them" breaking in. Far in the distance, reinforcements finally arrive, horrified by the site. The woman sees them and runs to them as if her life depended on it, which it does. They come to her, but right when she makes it, a large claw bursts out of the ground, grabbing her by the chest and pulling her down. They grab her by the legs, trying to save her. They manage to pull her out, well… some of her, only the lower torso.
From the top of the roof of a building, the two men are shocked at the site of the carnage. Ada begins to stir, awakening. She looks to her side and sees her weapons laid out. Before she could reach for them, the man stops her. "Not a good idea. Look."
She comes over and sees the destruction. It begins to spread all over the city, soldiers fighting off the creatures, civilians in need of help, and Apocalypse in the distance, morphing again, slower this time. Its skin appears to be hardening, giving it support as it tries to walk on land. It lays on the shore, half submerged and half stranded, taking its time, waiting. "Yeah," the man says. "So unless you're good enough to make it passed all of that, I suggest we sit together."
She looks to him, seeing no other option. "Before I agree, what's your names?"
"I can't say, but you can call me Agent, and this is Ryan, the silent type."
He give a quick raise of the hand to signal "hi" before dropping it.
"Alright," Ada says, "what's the plan?"
"As far as I know, we hold out until backup comes…," he pauses and looks at the door, barricaded as the creatures try to break it down. "...so we're stuck."
"Hm, you are, but I'm not."
In a flash, Ada shoots her grapple hook out to another roof and heads off. "Damn, she's good," Agent says, "but not good enough."
As Ada lands, she looks to her crossbow, but finds she's out of ammo. She looks back to see Ryan, holding her ammunition and cubic cell. "Hm, clever," she says to herself.
She returns to them, having been given back her ammo. However, as she reaches for her cell, Ryan crushes it. "Sorry," Agent says, "but we should stick together. If we die, you die as well."
"I feel like I'm still in custody."
"Only this time by people who can hold you in custody."
Suddenly, one of the creatures manages to break through a window on the floor below and climb up to the top. It jumps out at Ada and Agent. She jumps out of the way, but Agent remains still. As the creature comes closer, he grabs it by the head and uses its momentum to toss it over the side. It falls back to the ground, dying from the crash. The three make their stand as more make it up through the windows. What's worse, the others break down the door and attack.
"Kind of wish Leon was here."
