Chapter 730 Horror of the G-Virus
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Draco was leading the group around the zoo avoiding as much zombies as they could.
"Okay keep going, as long as we avoid them we can save ammo to use against the bigger guys." Draco said.
"Got that right." Kevin said.
"With how many of them it's best to avoid them." Mark said.
Draco could use his powers, but then he would just make a panic for any of the survivors thinking he's one of Umbrella's men.
"This place used to be popular because of the animals, but because of the Outbreak the zombies ate them." Cindy frowns.
"Well it's terrible for them to suffer like that, but not much we can do now." Draco said.
They saw zombie hyenas walking around and Draco takes his F2 Rifle out and aims at them, he then takes a few shots in the heads taking them down.
"It's best to deal with those ones are they are quick." Draco said.
They went to a door and opened, they heard shaking and they saw the elephant come towards them.
"Run!" Draco said and they went inside.
The elephant chases them and they looked back.
"It's gaining on us!" Cindy said.
"Look the elephant stage!" Draco said.
They saw the stage and went inside and arrived at a ladder climbing up.
The elephant swings around attacking the area.
They went to a cobtrol room to look at it.
"How we get him inside?" Jim asked.
Draco looks around and saw a tape. "Of course."
He plays it making circus music play making the elephant come foward.
"It still remembers the sounds, it hates it so much." Draco smirks.
He then types on the controls making the gates close up and then the gate was shut.
Elephant saw that and slams against it.
"Ha, take that you sucker." Kevin said.
"Let's go." David said.
"Find anything we might need and let's go." Draco said.
They went around and found some ammo and even a Shotgun.
Yoko looks at the tapes for the music and takes them with her putting inside the backpack.
The group went out and Mark said: "Will that even hold that thing?"
"Well we can't wait too long so we better go." Draco said.
"Right." They nodded.
The group kept going traversing through the zoo and Draco looks around.
He then saw a woman wearing a cloak and mask standing on a rooftop.
She watches the group as they go. "Let's hope Draco can do it." She takes off her mask revealing herself to be Arche Eeb Rile Furt.
Flashback
Arche was at a forest at night and she was lying down on the ground.
"How... How did I survive?" She said. "But... My sisters, they need me."
She saw someone go up to her and it was Draco staring down at her.
He offers her a hand. "Need help?"
She stares at him and smiles before accepting his hand.
He took her with him and healed her, she then explained to him what happened and he was surprised.
They were at a basement and she asked: "Where are we?"
"You wanted to save your sisters?" He said.
"Yes, but they're in another world and because of my parents, they'll just sell them to pay off the debt they made." She said.
"Theres still hope." He grabs her hand and pricks it making her grunt.
A circle underneath them glowed as her blood went towards it activating.
"Your blood is what we need to call them, those of the exact blood can be summoned as they are your sisters." Draco said.
They watched the circle before two kids appearing being her sisters.
"Ureirika! Kuuderika!" Arche said.
"Sister!" They said and Arche hugs them.
Draco smiles at the scene and Arche looks at him. "Thank you."
"Your welcome." He said.
Ureirika and Kuuderika looked at Draco and asked: "Sister is he your boyfriend?"
Arche blushes. "No! He's not!" She shakes her head.
"Really?" The two sisters narrow they're eyes.
"Yes really!" Arche said.
Draco chuckles at the scene.
Flashback ends
After she joined Draco's house she wanted to repay him by helping him out.
"I'll serve you until the end of my days." She said.
She heard slamming and looks at the stage, the Elephan stares at the gate before charging towards it bashing through the gate and she got shocked.
"It's free." She said.
With Hank
Claire and Hank were still finding where the little girl went they went through many halls while avoiding the zombies, they were trying to find that little girl since they couldn't let her be in danger.
They then arrived a room that looked like an office that had liked animal heads on the walls and they saw a dead girl on top of a desk with a chair facing backwards, they walked foward and then the chair turned around to reveal a fat guy holding a gun at them.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I thought you both were another one of those zombies."he said.
"Are you Chief Irons?" Claire asked.
"Yes, that's me and just who are you both, no don't bother telling me, it makes no difference, you'll end up just like all the others." Irons said.
Hank looks at the girl and said: "Who is she?"
"That's the mayor's daughter, I was told to look after her but I failed miserably, just look at her, she was a true beauty her skin nothing sort of perfection but it will soon putrify and she will turn into a zombie within the hour like all the others."Irons said.
"There must be some way to stop it."Claire said.
"In a manner of speaking there is."Iron then point his gun at the girls head." Either by putting a bullet through her brain or by decapitating her completly." He then looks at his trophies."and to think that taxidermy used to be my hobby but no longer, please I would like to be alone now."
"Let's go." Hank said and Claire nodded.
They went through the other door and Hank gave the chief one last glance since something was up.
They went through a different hallways then the others they went, they went inside a different room with glass displays and they heard someones footsteps.
"Shhh."Hank said to Claire and she nodded.
They walked slowly to the other side and Hank saw someone walk into another part of the room, they walked towards that part and they found it was dark, they went in and Claire found a light switch on the wall, she presses the lights on and saw the little girl sitting on the corner of the room.
She then screams and tries to run again but they grabbed her arms on both sides.
"Wait." Claire said.
"Let me go!" She said trying to free herself.
"Calm down, were not zombies." Hank said.
"That's right, your safe now." Claire said and that made her stop to look at them.
She then gives them a hug together surprising them but they smiled, Claire looks at Hank and he looks at her with a smile, they heard her cry and they went back to look at each other and they rubbed her head.
Claire went to call Leon while Sherry held Hank."Leon come in, we found the girl she's safe."
"Got it."Leon responded and she turned it off.
The girl let's go of them and they went down to one knee to look at her.
"My name is Claire."Claire said.
"And I'm Hank."Hank said pointing at himself."What's yours?"
"Sherry."she said her name.
"Do you know where your parents are?"Claire asked.
"They both work at the Umbrella chemical plant, near the city limits."Sherry said and Hank got curious in that name.
"The Chemical Plant?"Claire said confused."then what are you doing here?"
"My mom called, and told me to go to the police station because it was too dangerous to stay at home."Sherry said.
"Well she got a point in that but now it's also dangerous here too."Hank said.
"Yeah, you better come with us."Claire said.
"But theres something out there, I don't know what it is but I saw it, much larger then those zombies and it's coming after me."Sherry said.
Then they heard a growl.
"What was that?"Claire said surprised.
"That's what I was telling you about, it's here."Sherry then tries to run but Hank stops her.
"Look, whatever it is, I can take care of it, it's not safe if you run away, if you do that you would only make yourself be in more danger, so stay with us?"Hank said making her understand the danger.
Sherry thinks about and looks down."Okay."
Claire smiles and said:" You have a way with children."
"Well I have experience." Hank said.
"What you have a sister or did you babysit before?"Claire asked.
"No, I adopted a few children." He said surprising them.
"You have adopted kids." Claire said.
"Yes, I didn't want them to be alone so I took care of them." Hank said.
"That's quite nice of you, they must be waiting for you at home then."Claire said.
"Yeah."Hank said and he then looks at Sherry. "So ready to go?"
"Yes."Sherry said.
They then walked back together with Sherry being next to them, they arrived back at the office and saw the the chief was gone, Hank looks around his desk and found a diary, he then starts to read it after he finished he got angry and throws it away surprising the girls.
"Why that fat-"Hank stop himself from saying a bad word in front of Sherry.
"That sicko was the one that made the station have zombies."Hank said shocking her. "He even killed the mayor's daughter to have a prize, but theres a secret passage in this room since the idiot wrote it on his diary, unless he has bad memory or he's most retarded man in the entire world." That made Sherry chuckle a bit and he was glad to make her smile.
He then goes to check the dest and found a button and pressed it, it made the wall next to the paiting behind him open, they went in and found a elevator.
"Okay how about one of us stay here to look after Sherry while the other goes down to check it out?"Claire suggested.
"Okay but how do you want to decide it?"Hank asked.
She then holds her fist up and He said: "Really, rock paper scissors, alright." He raises his and then after the three count he did paper and she did scissors making him smile. "Okay you win, you get go, but if anything happens run to us."
"I know." She said.
"Just to be sure." He traded guns with her as he got the shotgun and she the grenade launcher.
She then goes down the elevator while Hank looks after Sherry, he looks at her and she was still scared.
"Hey."Hank got her attention."I know it's scary and some times I can get scared but if you let fear take over you then you'll be even more danger, sometimes we just have to move foward and not what makes us scared take a hold on us."
"Really?"Sherry asked.
"Yeah."Hank said.
Sherry thinks about and then asked about something:"Hank what's your kids like?"
"Oh them, they are nice kids, they all had a bad life or something terrible happened to them, but together they're happy." He said.
"Oh, how old are they?" She asked.
"Well some are younger and others older than you." He said.
She smiles hearing that.
He then heard the elevator and goes to the room and sees Claire coming up and Sherry goes to hug her.
"Did something happen?"Hank asked.
"Yes, I found the chief and he told me who made the virus but he then got killed by something that came out of him, I was able to take it down."Claire said.
"Wait really, well your one cool girl then."Hank said making her smile.
"Why thank you."Claire said.
"Let's go."Hank said.
"Right."Claire said and they went inside the elevator.
They then arrived at a basement that the Chief did his work and they found his corpse which made Claire cover Sherry's eyes, they then went to set of stairs and arrived a some kind of sewer and they continued, they arrive at another part that had a upper floor, they went to the water.
They then heard something walk on the top floor and sees a monster which looks human looking but his arms were mutated and Hank noticed he has blonde hair., Sherry then hugs Claire scared about it and said:"Claire."
Hank then made a gesture to stay quite then they went to the door in front of them, they closed it behind them and then the floor beneath Sherry opened and she was about to fall but luckly Hank grabbed one of her arms before she fell down.
"That was too close."Hank said and he pulled her up making her on his arms.
"Thank you."Sherry said.
"Good job, it might have been bad if Sherry fell down there."Claire said and Hank nodded.
They then went foward and went to deeper parts of the sewer, they had to face giant spiders that made them happy that Claire found some grenade rounds and sometimes Hank wondered, they then went to another set of doors and arrived at another place and they walked foward and came a blonde woman wearing a lab coat pointing a gun at them while Sherry was behind Hank so she couldn't see who she is.
"Who are you, another spy sent by Umbrella, you're just after my husbands G-Virus."She said.
"Husband, then you must be Annette."Claire said and Sherry comes out to see her mother and she got shocked to see her.
"What, Sherry, why is she with you?"Annette asked.
"Mommy."Sherry said and she hugs her.
"We saved her, she was wondering around in the sewers by herself."Hank said.
"But that's impossible I told her to go to the police station, William is after her."Annette surprising them.
"What?"Hank said.
"That's right. The creature that's been causing all this destruction is none other than my own husband."Anette said and then she explained to them to what happened since he got gunned down by many Umbrella soldiers that came for the virus and he injected one of the sampes into himself to survive.
"He just injected himself with the virus."Claire said.
"The G-virus has the ability to revitalise cellular functions."Annette said and Sherry got shocked to learn about who the monster is.
"As a result of his virus-induced transmutation, William should have lost any prior memories he had as a human by now. I tried to save him but I'm afraid it's already too late."Annette said.
"But tell us this why is he after Sherry?"Hank asked.
"Every G-virus bio-weapon, including William, has the ability to implant embryos into other life forms. That's why he is after Sherry."Annette said shocking them and Sherry got scared.
"What are you trying to say?"Claire said.
"The bodies of individuals with non-related genetic coding are likely to reject the embyro, but since Sherry is his daughter, that possibility is non-existent... it's an inherent survival instinct."Annette said.
"Right now we need get Sherry out of here, before that thing comes after her."Hank said."we'll take care of her are you going to join us as well?"
"I need to do something first but take care of her."Annette then leaves them.
Hank looks at Sherry who was scared and said:"Hey don't worry nothing is going to happen to you."she then holds on to him and they ran to find a way out here.
"Hey guys!" They saw Victor come out.
"Victor?" Claire said.
"It seems your having troubles."He said.
"Yes, we need to get Sherry out of here." Hank said.
"I saw that thing while getting here, i'll go talk and try find some clues, maybe a train." Victor said.
"Right!" They nodded.
Victor goes foward and moves through the halls, he then saw Ada come out and she said: "Fancy meeting you here."
"I should say the same." He smiles. "Also I know your not here to look for your boyfriend."
"Okay, you got me, he died a long time ago." She said and looks at her gun. "But why were you helping me?"
"Because I didn't want you to get hurt, by that crazy guy's ideas." He said.
"So you know?" She asked.
"Theres only one guy that would send a woman like you here, he survived that mansion didn't he?" He said.
"Yes he did." She goes up to Victor and smiles. "But if you want to help me, I can reconsider." She touches his face.
Note: Draco's group managed to avoid the elephant but it broke free, Arche came back to life and thanks to Draco was able to get her sisters to his world, Hank and Claire managed to get Sherry and now have to protect her from William.
