Resident Evil (xMILENKOx & Anjeru)

[xMILENKOx]

Its finally over, or so I thought;
After Kijuju, I thought Umbrella's legacy had finally died with Wesker in that volcano.
I was wrong.
It was only a few months until I got the call.
I thought I would finally get a break from saving the world from Bio-Terrorists.
But those bastards just don’t give up.​

It was another hot day on the island of El Blanco of the North Eastern coast of Cuba. The beautiful island was scattered with small villages, forests, swampland, mountains and of course at its heart was Granando; a great Capital City which stood on the ruins of a great Aztec city of the same name. El Blanco had only gained its independence from Castro's Cuban regime 6 years ago. The Island was seen as a perfect staging area for any attacks on the United States. As always the streets of Granando were filled with people rushing about in desperation to earn a living. El Blanco had no real economy and as result of this was filled with poverty. Its leader; El Presidente Jose Gonzalez was one of the few people with any wealth. He ruled the island with a iron fist comprised of ruthless propaganda and military force. Though he opposed Fidel Castro he was no better than him. One a revolutionary now a dictator.

"La Plagas ha comenzado!..." Spoke a men who stood in the darkness of a Hotel room. The blinds drawn as to only let in a little light. The air thick and humid though the man stood dressed in a full suit as he held a cell phone to his ear. The Plague has begun, with only this sentence spoke the man hung up the call. This was Pablo Grenco, an associate of the late Ricardo Irving. Pablo had been in El Blanco since the Kijuju incident. If Wesker's plans to unleash Uroborus upon the world should fail Pablo was instructed to unleash Las Plagas upon El Blanco in the hope for Las Plagas to reach The United States of America. Though Pablo wasn’t just in El Blanco to for fill his mission, he was also here to obtain a G-Virus sample. Standing by a window Pablo was barely visible in the darkness. He was a tall man standing around 6'4" with a strong build. His head was bald and he sported a well groomed black hispanic style mustash. His dark brown eyes hidden behind a pair of black shades. Pablo was dressed in a cream suit with a red shirt which was open at the collar to reveal a hair chest which showed needle scar from Las Plagas and Uroborus vaccinations. Las Plagas had already began to spread through Granando and slowly the population was becoming infected.

The Military presence in Granando was strong. Soldiers patrolled the streets, road blocks were everywhere and armoured vehicles lined the sidewalks. One such vehicle a BMP-1 Armoured Personnel Carrier was just entering Granando. The APC and its crew had been to a village to deal with a riot of farmers. Inside the APC 6 Soldiers, cramped and extremely warm due to the heat of the day. Carlos Mendez was one of these soldiers, he took of his helmet and wiped the sweat from his brow. "What was with those farmers?... they had slaughtered there life stock!..." One of Carlos's comrades questioned. "I dont know, but the way they came at us!.. It was like they were fucking possessed!" Replied another soldier. Carlos meanwhile remained silent. He couldn’t get over what he and his friends had just done. Men, Women, Children and even dogs! Had just tried to kill them. Luckily they had AK-47's and a RPK Machinegun mounted on their APC. Pitch forks and shovels were no match for their fire power. As the APC approached Granando the heavily fortified gate seemed to be deserted. No guards in the towers, no guards on the ground. The T-55 Tank which sat in front of the gate seemed to be lifeless with its hatch open. The APC came to a halt as the driver noticed the strangeness of the situation. "What the hell is going on here?..." The Driver muttered to himself. Soon the men in the back took notice of the lack of movement. "Hey, why aint we moving?!.." Asked one soldier. "The Gates closed and blocked by a Tank!... and it looks like no one is here!.." Explained the driver. With this the back door was opened and everyone but Carlos and the Driver exited the APC. Staying close to the APC the 5 soldiers slowly walked towards the front of the APC. "Rahg..ah!.." A strange noise echoed from one of the guard towers, to which the 5 soldiers aimed there AK-47s at. Another strange noise came from the other guard tower. The 5 man looked from tower to tower in confusion as they stayed close to the APC for cover. Carlos remained sat unaware of what was happening outside. "HELLO?!.." Cried one of the soldiers. His voice echoed throughout the area and was soon greeted with a response. From one of the guard towers a soldier stood with a RPG in hand. His movements sluggish as he lifted the rocket launcher up onto his shoulder and pointed down at the APC. "RPG!.." Cried one of the soldiers as he took aim and fired at the soldier in the tower. But it was to late, within seconds a rocket propelled grenade fired down upon them hitting the front of the APC. The 5 men were blown to pieces and the front of the APC badly damaged killing the driver. Carlos was thrown out of his seat and against the opposite wall knocking him out.

Meanwhile back in Granando in a BSAA safe house Chris Redfield was busy looking over CCTV monitors. The BSAA had covertly set up camera's around the City to help track down Pablo Grenco. Since the Kijuju incident the BSAA had obtained details of all of Ricardo Irving's associates and had systematically hunted them down. Leavening only Pablo Grenco. Sat in the darkness of the surveillance room Chris Redfield watched the screens with tired red eyes, a cup of cold coffee sat on the desk from the night before. "Where are you hiding you son of a bitch?!..." Chris mumbled to himself as his eyes darted from screen to screen and occasionally to a notice board litter with photographs of Pablo Grenco. The BSAA safe house was located in one of the poorest parts of Granando inside a old Hotel which the BSAA had taken over. The government didn’t know about the BSAA presence in El Blanco and hopefully neither did Grenco.

 

[Anjeru]

After the incident in Kijuju, Jill had flown back to the states to recover from the ordeal she'd faced being under Wesker's control. She had been disappointed in herself; no matter the extremities taken to control her, Jill had never thought she'd attack her own partner, Chris Redfield. As much as she hated the fact that she had, if she hadn't, it could still be possible for her to be infected and under outside influence. Chris and Shiva had saved her by ripping off the device implanted on her chest. Once it had been removed, Jill was herself again. After Wesker had died in the volcano, she'd wanted time to come to terms with herself, so she'd returned home and took a leave of absence from the BSAA.

She'd been residing in Seattle for a little while now, in a one bedroom apartment overlooking the bay. Today she was leaving. The BSAA had contacted her and informed her that the Las Plagas virus had appeared in Cuba. They'd already sent Chris and were now asking her to go as well. Only a few months had passed and she wasn't really ready to deal with Las Plagas and Uroborus again, if she ever could be ready for something of the like. However, Chris had saved her and she would never turn her back on her partner is he needed her.

She boarded flight 141 to Cuba via the SeaTac airport and before long, she was stepping on the land that belonged to Cuba. Jill met with a BSAA representative who then provided her with a means of transportation, files on the Las Plagas involvement, and gear. She suited up, pulling a bulletproof vest on over her black tank top. She strapped two pistol holsters over her jean clad thighs, and then slid two Glocks with 9mm magazines into them. She grabbed a 1100 Remington shotgun from the trunk of the jeep and stapped it to her back. Lastly, she strapped her machete to her left boot before she climbed into the vehicle.

Jill pulled the brim of her hat down to help shield her from the sunlight, then started up the jeep and began to head for Granando, where she would meet up with Chris at the hidden BSAA outlook.

~~

"Sunuvabitch!" the young woman cursed, standing over the bodies of her father and brother who were very clearly now deceased. They'd both been part of the Cuban Military, but today they'd returned home...different. They'd attacked and killed her sister and mother. The remaining family member had been forced to take her father's magnum from its case and shoot them. "What the hell just happened?!"

Covered in blood, the 5 foot 5 woman of 22 years moved to the upstairs bedroom. She stared at her blood covered body in her full length mirror and decided she wasn't about to let the military off the hook for what they'd done this time. Considering where her father and brother had been, there was no other explanation. Something while in the line of duty had changed them and she was damned to hell if she didn't find out what that something was.

Sliding the magnum in the back of her black jean's waistband, she slid on her boots and went to clean off what blood she could. She left the house while tying up her long, black hair into a pony tail. Granando was quiet from what she could see, a little too quiet for her liking. She looked over the empty streets with chocolate eyes, before turning and running towards the town's center. If the military were here, or even watching like the BSAA were, she was bound to find them eventually.

 

[xMILENKOx]

"Good, you have done well Pablo, now for your reward. The G-Virus sample is located in the Hospital's research lab. They do not know what it is or of its potential! Wesker my have died and with him so did Uroborus! But the G-Virus is still a great weapon that we must have! Go now Pablo and retrieve your reward!" A maniacal Russian voice echoed from Pablo's cell phone. These words brought a grin to his face. The G-Virus was now once again the most desired bio-weapon on the global black market. Its value was not only measured it money, but also in the power it would give to those who had it in their possession. The Granando sample was recovered on a cargo ship destined for Kijuju that was hijacked by the Cuban navy. Without any proper laboratories capable of testing or examining the sample it was stored in the Hospital’s research lab. No one in Cuba knew of its affects but they knew it was in some way connected to the horrific incidents in Racoon City. "Ok..." Pablo replied simply before hanging up the call and putting the cell phone into his inside jacket pocket. He turned to a table to the left of him where a a bomb proof refrigerated briefcase with a set of hand cuffs attached to the handle and a Desert Eagle (L. Hawk) magnum sat. He first lifted the magnum and holstered it to a holster attached to his right side hidden by his jacket. Then he took the case and cuffed it to his right wrist. Turning away from the table he made his exit. Walking casually out of the room and onto the balcony walk way that over looked the hotel lobby. He made his way down the stairs and casually out of the door passing other guests who littered the lobby coughing and groaning but not speaking. Soon Pablo was on the street, it looked like a ghost town as he made his way to the hospital. Passed confused people wondering aimlessly around as the infected slowly got worse. The Las Plagas parasites gradually taking over their hosts nervous systems.

~​

"Got him!..." Chris shouted as he watched closely as Pablo showed up on one of the monitors. With a knock at the door a rookie BSAA agent entered the dark room. "Sir, Jill Valentine is on her way here..." The agent informed Chris who for a moment took his eyes of the monitors to turn and face the rookie agent. "Jill?.. she’s supposed to be on vacation why is she coming here?.. this is just a simple arrest." Chris questioned, after all he knew Jill wasn’t doing to good after Kijuju and why the BSAA decided to send another agent here was confusing. After all it was just meant to be a 4 man mission. Infiltrate Granando set up surveillance post and camera then eventually arrest Pablo and destroy the G-Virus sample. Chris shook his head as he turned back to the screens to find Pablo had vanished. "MOTHER FUCKER!.." A angry, tired caffeine fuelled Chris shouted as he slammed his fist onto the desk. The rookie agent quickly returning to his guard duty.

~​

As Pablo made his way to the hospital a local man who appeared drunk staggered towards him. Pablo simply continued to walk and ignored the man who walked straight into him. "Mírelo vato!.." Pablo shouted angrily as the man crashed into him and desperately tried to hold onto Pablo's shoulders. Though Pablo’s words were abruptly ended as he noticed the mans eyes were slowly turning red. Pablo in a panic shoved the man into the road causing him to fall onto his back. Pablo now quickened his pace as he made his way to the Hospital. As he got closer the streets got more populated. As desperate people demanded medicine for what the government was calling a flu epidemic. Though the fearful people were calling it Las Plagas; The Plague.

~​

Carlos slowly came too. As he slowly lifted himself up onto his knees while his vision slowly became less blurred he adjusted his uniform and picked up his AK-47 whilst leaving his helmet on the floor of the APC. He slowly crawled out of the vehicle and stood up straight stretching his arms and legs. Unaware of the blown apart pieces of his comrades behind him. Though a strange noise brough this horrific sight to the 18 year old soldier. Who turned quickly and took aim in the direction of the noise. As his vision returned he began to see the devastation of the RPG attack. His eyes quickly shot up to the Majini who had fired the RPG. The Majini looked down at Carlos before noticing his RPG was not loaded. Carlos froze at the sight of the crazed looking soldier who was quick to throw the empty RPG at Carlos. Carlos though was quick to dodge the RPG. Though from the other tower a AK-47 armed Majini stood up and was quick to let out a terrifying scram before firing an entire magazine at Carlos. Instinctively Carlos dived for cover behind a concrete barricade which took the majority of the gunfire. As the Majini stopped to reload the adrenaline fuelled and terrified Carlos took this opportunity to make a run for the gate. As he got close to the gate the AK-47 armed Majini had reloaded and fired again upon Carlos. Bullets spraying the area around him hitting the gate and the tank which blocked it as Carlos safely made it into Granando, or so he thought.

 

[Anjeru]

The civilians of Granando were quickly becoming inhabited by the virus, turning on each other was only a minimal progression away from happening. Pablo would come across many said infected inhabitants on his way to the hospital; the hospital itself was flooded by the majority of Granando's bodies. What the people thought was a flu epidemic had caused them to panic and seek medical attention at the only plausible recreation center of Granando. Though the city was suffering economically, that did not stop the masses from heading towards the hospital for any medical attention they could receive, but it wouldn't be long before medical attention was no longer of importance to them.

Marika saw the man with the briefcase as she meandered her way around the city, deciding that, with the majority of the city flocking to the hospital, it may be the best place to come into contact with a person of military influence. That really was her only goal at this point, to find out what had caused her father and brother to go beserk. That man though, he seemed out of place, too well dressed to be a normal citizen of Granando. Shaking off her suspicion, she just kept running on by to reach the hospital as quickly as she could; it wasn't too far from the city's front gates and her house couldn't have been more than 6 blocks from the hospital. She was bound to find what she was looking for, considering the Cuban military had been gaurding the gates into the city for awhile now.

She was almost at the hospital when a man tumbled into her, causing her to fall back. The man groaned and as she looked up at him, she saw the familiar unnerving glow of red eyes; her father and brother had those same colored eyes when they'd tried to kill her. As the thought completed, as if on cue, the man lunged at her angrilly. She rolled quickly to the side and launched herself to her feet, sliding around to face him as she pulled the magnum from the back of her jeans. The man was coming at her again and she tightened her index finger on the trigger to fire a single shot inbetween the man's eyes. He fell and ceased to move. Marika sighed and eased up a little; jesus christ, what was happening around here?

~~

Jill pulled up to the BSAA temporary base of operations. She knew Chris would be surprised to see her here, as the BSAA representative had told her, he was yet unaware of the Las Plagas infection spreading among the people. As far as he knew, they were still only here to apprehend Pablo."Hello,"Jill said to the BSAA rookie standing at the small buildings main enterance. The rookie saluted her and she shrugged it off."Chris should be aware of my arrival. If you'll be so kind as to take me to him, I'd appreciate it. There's a situation occuring that he needs to be informed about. It's of the upmost importance."She would see him nod."Right away, Ms. Valentine. Follow me."

The rookie then turned and opened the door to let her inside. Before long they were heading down the hall to where Chris had set up his station of surveliance. She stepped past the soldier then to come up behind Chris where he was seated."Chris, it's good to see you again."

 

[xMILENKOx]

The gunshot echoed through the streets. Those not infected or not yet fully changed reacted as expected to the gunshot. Ducking for cover and screaming. Though the Majini all seemed to look defiantly in the direction of the gunshot. They could sense one of their kind had fallen after all the Las Plagas parasites are a social organism. A loud scream came from one of the Infected who proceeded to climb upon a abandoned APC. This one seemed to be a lot more dominant compared to his fellow infected. Other majini started to turn to face him as if awaiting orders from a superior. This was a Master Plaga that had had infected the body of a Soldier. The soldiers was visibly a strong and healthy man, this possibly the reason the master plaga had chose him. The superior Majini's eyes were focused on the direction of the gun shot, as he looked over the crowed he noticed Marika. With another loud scream he pointed at her and slowly the hoard began to turn and face Marika.

~​

As Pablo pushed his way through the crowed he too reacted to the gun shot with panic. Ducking quickly before he upholstered his gun and pointed it in the direction of the gun shot. Those who were not infected or not yet fully changed around him panicked more at the sight of Pablo’s gun. Using this Pablo forced his way towards the hospital, pushing past Majini and humans. Humans moving out of his way. Pablo fired one or two warning shots into the air which cause the crowed to panic more. Though soon he had forced himself into the packed hospital lobby and had disappeared into the panic stricken crowed. The superior Majini quickly turning to face the other gunshots at the Hospital briefly taking his eyes of Marika.

~​

"What are you doing here?.. you should be resting.." Chris replied simply and sharply as if he was her father. She slowly stood up giving up on finding Pablo on the screens. He turned to face Jill as he leaned back on his desk as he waited patiently for a reply. It felt like only yesterday when he last saw her at her house relaxing for a change. In truth Chris was neither ready for another mission. Kijuju had taken a lot out of him and with Shiva refusing to leave Africa to join he was abit heart broken.

~​

Carlos made his way up the long and deserted road that led from the city gates to the city itself. Passing abandoned homes of the citys poor. Stray dogs roamed the street in search for food as did the vulchers and crows that flew over head. There was obvious a lot of death about and this caused the young soldier to shake as he desperately made his way back to the city's centre. Soon he could see the crowed in the distance. Feeling nauseous and fatigued he pushed himself harder as he tried to sprint. Though the gunshots from the crowed caused him to slow down and crouch slightly whilst holding his AK-47 ready. Still shaking he cautiously made his way towards the crowed. Soon he noticed Marika. The young soldier took aim for her though still his body shook. "D.. d.. Dro... Drop!..." He stuttered in panic. "Drop the gun!..." He eventually got his words together before crouching down on one knee as he tried to steady himself in case he had to shoot her. The crowed ahead and the soldier standing on the car in the distance distracted him causing his eyes to dart from the crowed to Marika constantly.

 

[Anjeru]

"Indeed I should, but there isn't time for it." Jill said as he stood to face her. It was good to see him again and to know that he was safe, though she still felt quilty for what had happened back in Kijuju. Chris was well aware of this as well, she knew. He'd visited her a few times over the last few months before he got the call from the BSAA regarding Pablo's whereabouts. "The BSAA requested my help. I'm afraid we have more problems to deal with than just Pablo." Jill then handed him the folder that the BSAA representative had given her. "Inside that folder you'll find all the information that you need, however, you're not going to like it. The Las Plagas pleague has been spread here, in Granando. The city gates' armories are already said to have been infected, and mass panic is beginning to spread along with the virus." She sighed. "It's happening again, Chris. We have to stop it before it gets out of hand. We cannot let what happened in Kijuju happen here. I guarentee if we can't stop it here, it will make its way to the US." Jill didn't want to do this again, not especially so soon after kijuju, but she didn't have a choice. She wasn't about to let Chris, her partner to whom she owed her life to, go at it alone.

~~

Marika caught sight of the soldier pointing at her; damnit! She'd been sighted by these things and, through the wriggling masses, they began to come at her. When she heard Carlos, she pleadingly raised her hands but did not drop her gun. "I can't! P-please! They're going to kill us and this is all I have to defend myself!" As if they knew, a few of the Majini charged her and she dropped back. 5 shots left in her magnum, Marika shoved one Majini away from her, aiming to shoot another in the head. The shot was successful and the skin gave no resitance as half the Majini's head was blown off. He fell and she turned to shoot the other coming at her, once in the shoulder, then again in his neck, watching as the jugular burst and blood spurt. He too fell and then some of the Majini went after the suited man she'd seen before.

Marika dashed at Carlos, then ducked and rolled to come to a crouch beside him, breathing hard."There's something wrong with them! I'm not the enemy, I promise!" She almost had to shout as the crowd's screaming got louder and the panic became more wide spread. People were beginning to trample each other in a desperate attempt to get away from where the gunshots were being fired.

 

[xMILENKOx]

Pablo pushed through the crowed inside the hospital. His eyes looking out for any signs giving direction to the research lab. The sounds of panic all around whilst people fought to get into the Hospital. In the crowed the Majini were savagely attacking non infected people though with all the chaos around no one noticed as slowly but surely the parasites multiplied and hunted down new hosts. Pablo managed to make his way to a elevator, pushing the button with the barrel of his gun as stood almost pinned to the wall by the mass of people desperate for medical attention. As soon as the elevator arrived Pablo forced himself inside, others tried to follow him but were greeted only by his gun. Wildly he fired at those who tried to enter the elevator. Two men tried to hold the doors open, Pablo was quick to execute both men. Single head shots at point blank range caused the men to full back into the crowed spraying brains and blood on those behind them. Pablo grinned sinisterly as he reloaded his magnum as the doors shut firmly. His eyes scanned over the buttons until he found one which said 8th Floor - Research. Pressing the button again with the barrel of his gun before enjoying the space he had around. His cream suit splattered with dirt, blood and sweat. As the elevator went up a repetitive tune played from a small speaker temporarily making it seem all was safe. The elevator eventually came to a halt with a loud thud as the brakes kicked in followed by a loud ding noise as the doors opened.

The research office was dark, the power must have been cut off. With his gun held out in front of him Pablo exited the Elevator. Slowly he moved through the office, his head constantly turning as he searched for the Lab entrance. Eventually though he found a large secure metal door with a card reader electronic lock. "Card reader?... fuck!..." Pablo muttered realising not only the power was out but also he had no key card. Hopefully with his free hand he began to play around with the doors handle when suddenly the labs own backup generator kicked in. Through the door Pablo could just hear the sounds of everything coming to life. Outside though the hospital remained in darkness. The card reader soon buzzed to life and a red light shined from it as a obvious indication of the door being locked. Though soon other sounds came from behind the security door. Sounds of movement. With this Pablo began to bang onto the door. "OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!..." He ordered as he continued to attack the door. Then soon the sounds on the other side grew louder and the person on the other side began to bang on the door. Muffled groans could also be heard from inside the lab. "OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR NOW!" Pablo ordered again, suddenly the card reader's light changed green with a beep and the door slowly opened. Pablo stepped back and took aim as the person on the other side came into view. "DECONTAMINATION COMPLETE!" A female computer voice echoed from inside the lab. Pablo froze for a second as the person on the other side of the door came into view, along with one or two others staggering in the distance. "The T-Virus?.." Pablo said with a grin, to him these Virus's were just products he could sell. In front of him stood a T-Virus Zombie, obviously the T-Virus was being researched her too. The T-Virus wasn’t very popular but it had some worth on the Black Market. Casually Pablo shot the Zombie in the head causing its head to explode. His sadistic grin stretched wider as he watched the head pop like a balloon.

~​

Carlos didn’t know what to do, he continued to shake and his breath got heavy. As Marika came to his side a promised him she was a friend not foe Carlos turned his attention to the hoard moving there way. Realising trying to fight them would be suicidal Carlos grabbed Marika by her arm before quickly standing and turning around. "Lets get out of here!..." He said quickly before he began to run almost dragging Marika. "What’s going on?!!!" Carlos asked in panic as they ran away from the Majini hoard which was quick to give chase. The superior Majini screaming and louder causing the other Majini to frenzy and become even more blood thirsty as they charged after Carlos and Marika. Non infected people were trampled by the hoard.

~​

Chris took the file and began to read through it. After a few minutes he looked up to Jill. "Why didn’t they show me this before?!.. Las Plagas?!.. They send me here on a routine arrest and recovery only to leave me in the dark about the fact that Granando is all set for a outbreak!" Chris was already stressed and this new made him angry, as he flicked through the rest of the file his mood got worse. Once finished reading he threw the file down onto his desk before rubbing his aching head. "If this situation is as bad as you say why haven’t they sent more people?... Its just you me and the five rookies!" Chris continued to question as he rubbed his head. "Ok, what’s the plan?.." He asked after taking a deep breath and trying to calm down.

 

[Anjeru]

Jill could understand the anger and frustration that was so obviously flowing through Chris. She stepped up and placed her hand, covered in her fingerless leather gloves, on his shoulder. "I know, Chris. I understand the frustration. However, they weren't aware of what was going to happen at first. It was only recently that information about Pablo's plans were leaked." She shook her head and sighed. "For now it will be just us. Our new orders are to apprehend Pablo and to contain as much as the infection as possible. If we require back up, we can call it in. The BSAA office will send us what they can."

~~

Marika sprinted off with Carlos, reloading her Magnum as she pumped her legs furiously. "I don't have any fucking idea what's going on! But we need to get away from this fucking horde and bolt up for now!" She said as they ran. The Majini followed them for awhile, but as the other city inhabitants screamed, their attention became diverted.

They were coming back up to her house and she pulled Carlos in through the front door. Her foot kicked the door shut and she ran to the kitchen, grabbed a shelf board, and proceeded to block the front door. She then promptly fell back onto her ass and huffed to regain her breath. "I was hoping the military would have answers to what's occuring..."She admitted to the soldier once she was able to breath without searing pain in her lungs and throat."But..you seem as clueless as I."

~~

The research attendant sighed and set the keycard down onto the counter with a sigh. She hadn't been at work long, but already things were going haywire. Someone had gotten their hands on the Las Plagas virus and had spread it...somehow. She had to go to the hospital and get the samples before someone got to them.

Making her way to her basement, she slid on her labcoat and walked to the phone sitting on her desk. She dialed the hospital's number and waited for someone to pick up the line on the other end. No one answered, as she feared. So that meant the virus was progressing and progressing fast.

Samantha hung up the phone and plopped down into the office chair to start rapidly running her fingers over the computer'sd keyboard. Her glasses reflected the bright glow of the computer screen as she accessed the files on both the G-virus and T-virus's storage specifications at the hospital. Her expression grew grim...someone had opened the vault to the virus' and the contraption before her indicated the samples were gone.

She had to get to the hospital, now, hopefully before the culprit escaped. Her slim fingers grabbed up the sniper rifle sitting in the corner as she made her way out of the room.

 

[xMILENKOx]

Pablo slowly entered the lab casually shooting the few Zombies that staggered around it aimlessly. As the last zombie fell to the ground Pablo holstered his magnum and approached a containment unit. Placing his case on a trolley next to the containment unit he uncuffed himself from the case and then unlocked it with a combination of 666. The refrigerated case gave gasping hiss as it opened. Pablo then turned to the containment unit, it wasn’t as fancy as those he had broke into in the past and within a few seconds it was open. Inside sat a single vial marked G. Carefully Pablo reached in and lifted out the Vial, then he reached into his case and pulled out an injection gun in which he loaded the vial. "Just in case..." He muttered to himself, willing to inject himself to keep the sample. He then set the loaded injection gun into the case and closed it then locked it before cuffing it to his wrist again. He looked around to see no sign of the T-Virus, but with the zombies he fought to get in here it was obvious it was no longer retrievable unless taken from the zombies cadavers. Pablo shook his head, he was no surgeon or scientist. He then carefully made his way out of the lab and back into the dark research office.

~​

As he was dragged into the house Carlos dropped his gun and fell to his knees. The fear alone caused him to vomit. On his hands and knees he vomited, his breath heavy and his body shaking. He was only 18 and had only served in the Army for 2 months and already in one day he had seen so much death and destruction. Slowly though he realised they were safe, for now. Wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt he turned to face Marika. He took the shirt off and laid it over the vomit. Now he was dressed simply in a white vest, drab green combat trousers that were tucked into his combat boots. "I... I... I... I shot a pregnant women today...." Carlos muttered as he sat down beside a wall leaning on it for support. "She.. She came at me with a sickle!.. she tried to kill me!..." Carlos continued to tell off what happened this morning at the village him and his unit got sent to. "A whole village turned against us!... Dogs as well!.. we had no choice!..." Carlos continued to speak as though in confession. A single tear rolled down his cheek as he sat traumatized by the whole ordeal. He reached for his belt and upholstered his pistol sidearm. Taking it in his right hand he shoved the barrel into his mouth. Tears now streaming from his eyes.

~​

"Ok, any idea where we can find Pablo?... I haven’t had a solid lead on him since I got here!.. Hell how do we know if he’s still here?.. If he’s released Las Plagas why would he hang around?..." Chris questioned still very frustrated by the sudden change in the situation.

 

[Anjeru]

Marika stared at the sobbing young man and then, when he put the gun into his mouth, she bolted up and smacked it free from his hands. It clattered to the floor loudly and she then slapped her hand across the man's cheek. The sound reverberated in the silence. She glowered at him. "Don't be a fucking idiot!" She once again grabbed him by his arm and dragged him to his feet. She pulled him after her as she stalked into the livingroom where 4 bodies lay - 2 females and 2 males. She released his arm and turned to him, yelling now. "When they give you no choice, what the fuck else can you do?! You see these bodies? Do you?! This is my fucking family!" Tears began to stream from her chocolate eyes and she sobbed out the story about how her military father and military brother had come home altered, like the Majini they'd come across in the city center. She told him about how her father and brother had attacked her mother and sister, how they'd torn the girls apart as she watched, shocked and frightened frozen. And lastly, about how she had to shoot them after they'd come after her. "They...t-they...they don't give us a choice...what else can we do if we want to live?..."

~~

Samantha had her driver take her to the rear enterance of the hospital and she snuck in through the parking lot's elevator. She hoisted the gun to shoulder level and aimed through the scope when the doors opened to allow her enterance to the research lab. Strange...she dropped the gun and holstered in back onto her back. Instead, she pulled a Glock from her labcoat pocket and slowly, she moved into the room.

The staff was all dead already. They'd been shot from what she could see. A rustling of movement in the containment chamber caused Samantha to drop down behind a nearby filing cabinet for cover. After a moment, a bald, suited man came from the chamber. This must have been the thief - he was carrying a case, a refridgerated case at that, likely to carry chemicals or...a virus.

She decided to follow, rather than confront.

~~

"I've come to believe he's after the virus for himself," Jill was saying. She dropped her hand from Chris' shoulder and moved around him to grasp his cup of coffee. Jill raised it up and sipped it, then stuck out her tongue as she set it back down; typical. Not enough cream and sugar. "My guess is Irving sent him a sample of the virus to let loose, but that left Pablo without the sample. He probably made a deal with someone that, if he contanimated the people, they would reward him. After all, there is a scientist here in Granando who's been studying the T-virus and G-virus." Jill shook her head and turned to study the monitors he'd set up. "Whoever planned this whole incident likely found out where the scientist kept her research samples."

 

[xMILENKOx]

Pablo casually made his way to the elevator unaware he was being followed. Once inside though he turned to face out of the elevator though still was unaware of Samantha. Reaching out to the control panel he pushed the button for the top floor. After all by now the ground floor would have been swarming with Majini. High ground seemed like the best idea. The doors slowly closed and the elevator shook again as he it went up. As he waited for the elevator to reach the top floor he pulled out his cell phone and called his contact. "I have the G-Virus..." He informed the Russian man simply. Good, you have done well Pablo now how do you plan on getting it to me?... I would assist you but but I do not see why I should pay to pick up my merchandise when you can deliver it to me... The Russian man replied. "Don’t worry my friend, I will find away..." Pablo replied before hanging up the call. With a shudder and a ding the elevator came to a halt and the doors opened. Pablo stepped out and hastily looked around for roof access. He casually walked through the maintenance room until he came across a set of stairs leading to the roof. Without hesitation he rushed up the stairs and forced his way through the door. With harsh hiss he closed his eyes as the bright sun hit him in the face, his shads had slid down his nose a little and exposed his eyes. With a hand in front of his eyes he slowly walked out onto the roof. Look all around him at the streets below, chaos everywhere. He grinned happily knowing this was his doing.

~​

Carlos for a moment was lifeless, as Marika dragged him he was like a rag doll. Though soon they both stopped. "What if we don’t want to live?" Carlos replied still filled with guilt. The guilt mixed with the fear and ultimately caused him to show signs of depression and post traumatic stress. Being a soldier was all about your physical strength, you are never trained to deal with the horrors of war only how to play your part in their beginning. Carlos leaned again a wall. Still his body shaked. "There is so many of them... we got no chance anyway. We might as well save ourselves the pain your Sister went through... a bullet to the brain, we wouldn’t feel a thing..." Carlos's words growing every more darker. His mind was filled negativity and death.

~​

Chris listened carefully before rushing into action. Quickly he grabbed his 9mm Berretta from his desk and holstered it into his hip holster. "The Hospital! Its the only place in Granando with the facilities to contain and research a Virus..." Chris explained know there was no labs in the city and that the Hospital had recently received a lot of new equipment to help fight diseases. Chris moved past Jill and left the room. "Tom get yourself geared up we are heading out!.." Chris called out to his Rookie. The other four agents would be left to guard the hideout. Tom was quick to rush down stairs ready for action packing a MP5 Sub Machine Gun. Tom was a rookie and desperate to see some action, though a little too keen. Chris had already saved him from being shot by the Granando Military. Tom made his way outside and around the back of the building wear a Humvee with a mounted 50 Calibre machine gun was hidden beneath a camo net. "Jill lets go..." Chris ordered as he made his way out of the building just in time as Tom pulled up outside in the humvee. Chris climbed into the passenger seat and awaited Jill to join them.

 

[Anjeru]

As Pablo stepped into the elevator, Samantha lowered her gun and bolted off to the stairs. She was quick to climb them, her heels clicking against the steel of the steps. As she came to the access door that led to the roof, Samantha stopped and caught her breath. Her head leaned forward so she could peer out the window that gave her a look at the roof; that man was out there. She wasn't entirely sure if she could handle him, but she couldn't let him get away with the virus.

Samantha pulled an ear com from her pocket and attached it to her ear. She tapped the talk button. "Terrance? You there? Yeah, I made it to the research lab in one piece, but a man has stolen my research sample of the G-virus. I need to get it back. Uh-huh. Yeah. Keep an eye out for reinforcements and inform them of the situation. Radio me if that does occur. Yep. Gotcha. Samantha, out."

~~

Marika sighed and wrapped her arms around the young man, trying her best to comfort him even as the tears continued to course down her cheeks. "Even if we don't want to live...there may be other survivors out there...we can't just let them die, can we?" She asked him softly, leaning back to peer into Carlos' eyes. "Even if what's happened already eats away at my soul and haunts every day of life I live, I can't die knowing I did nothing to help...We can help them, Carlos."

She did her best to comfort and console the young man, even though deep inside, she was frightened beyond belief. There was nothing that could make her feel better about people tearing people apart.

~~

Jill nodded as Chris made his outburst about where the virus was held. "Exactly! That's where I was sure it would be, as well." As Chris left the building and climbed into the Humvee with the rookie, Tom if she remembered correctly, Jill too moved to hop in. The humvee started and she sat back, pulling her shotgun off her back. "Now! The infection has already spread, so we're going to have to fight our way into the hospital." She said it as she poised the shotgun at eye level."You ready, Chris?"

She wasn't sure if she was ready to go through this again, but she had Chris' back and would never leave her partner to fight on his own.

 

[xMILENKOx]

Once Jill was in the Humvee, Tom was quick to drive. Racing through the streets of Granando passing the Las Plagas chaos. Chris refusing to watch the carnage and simply looked ahead whilst Tom's eyes couldn’t help but stray as he watched Majini attack survivors. Toms eyes shifting to Chris in the hope he would tell him to stop so they could help but Chris did not give the order he only watched the road. Right now Pablo was Chris's main priority. Soon the Hospital was in sight. The front of it was still swarming with Majini. "Go round the back..." Chris ordered as he pulled out his pistol and checked it over before holstering it back in his hip holster. Tom did as he was told and brought the Humvee around the back of the Hospital and entered the underground parking lot. As the Humvee entered the parking lot Chris's eyes set upon Samantha's car. He could see the driver. "Stop.." Chris ordered, with this Tom brought the Humvee to a halt. Chris climbed out and upholstered his gun. He looked back to Tom and Jill. "Cover Me!" He ordered before moving towards the car, taking aim the red dot of the guns laser sight appeared on the drivers head as Chris slowly approached. "Get out the Car!" Chris shouted once close enough to see the driver whom he had a clear head shot.

~​

Pablo looked around him casually trying to find a way off the roof. Though with the hospital being the only large building in the area and with no helipad the roof had no outside access. Pablo growled angrily before turning around to face the door from which he had came. His eyes widened as he caught a glimpse of Samantha. Quickly he drew his gun and took aim for the door. "Show yourself!" Pablo shouted as he stood ready to shoot. His right hand holding the briefcase tightly while the cuffs kept it attached to his arm. He had no plan on loosing the sample.

~​

Carlos was silent and sat still as Marika held him. He felt useless, he couldn’t even protect himself let alone other people. He wasn’t even a fully train soldier, his kills earlier in the day were purely down to luck.

 

[Anjeru]

As they sped through the masses of civilians and attacking Majini, Jill shot shells into the heads of what Majini she could, taking out a total of eight or so before they reached the hospital. When they pulled around the back, she reloaded her shotgun and jumped off the back of the Humvee. Her eyes locked onto the other truck as Chris shouted orders to the driver.

Slowly the door opened and a 6 foot 1 man in a lab coat stepped out from the driver's side, his hands held up in a sign of peace. Jill wasn't so quick to judge and carefully leveled her aim on his chest; the man's brown eyes were watching them from behind short brown lockes of hair and a pair of cliche 'scientist' glasses. She spoke a moment later, asking, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"My name is Terrance. I'm a scientist studying the G and T-Virus with Ms. Samantha Vallerez." He replied, still keeping his hands up in the air, afraid if he didn't, that they would shoot him. "When Samantha went to the check the sample status, she was alerted to the fact that they were stolen, or released. Just moments ago, she contacted me from the roof via her com. She told me she had followed the man who she assumed had stolen the sample and was planning on engaging him to get it back."

Jill glanced over at Chris with sudden recognition. "It has to be Pablo! We have to get to the roof, Chris!"

~~

Marika sighed as she released the trembling young man. She didn't really have a plan, but there was no way she could stand back and listen to this countless slaughter anymore. "We have to do something, Carlos. We can't just let whoever did this get away with killing our comrades, families, and friends." She stood and turned away from him, clenching her fists tightly at her sides. Marika then glanced at him over her shoulder, a determined look in her pained eyes. "I can't stand by and let this continue. I'll understand if you don't wish to come along with me. It is your life, Carlos, and I will not force you to fight with me."

~~

The man on the roof spotted her just as she'd planned. The young, tanned, brunette used the cover of the door to hide her pistol under her lab coat, in the back of her jean's waistband. She then opened the roof door and stepped out, hands held up in surrender. Her long hair hid the tiny com in her ear and she left it switched on as she came into the eye line of the suited man. "What are you doing up here when there is such disarray in the streets below, sir?" She asked, showing genuine curiousity in her features. She stopped just a few feet away from him. "I mean you no harm."

 

[xMILENKOx]

Chris lowered his gun slightly as the man explained himself. Though he glared at the man angrily. No matter how many times he had stopped the T and G-Virus people were still using them. The scientists may have been only researching it but the fact they had samples made them a target for Bio-Terrorists and made Granando the site of a possible outbreak. Hearing Jill's words Chris nodded. "Tom stay with Terrance don’t let him out of your sight!..." Chris ordered before he made his way towards the elevator. Tom was quick to jump out of the Humvee with his MP5 sub machinegun on show as he approached Terrence.

As the elevator arrived Chris entered and hit the button for the top roof. As the doors closed on Chris and Jill and the elevator moved up the shaft Chris turned to Jill. "When will people learn that T & G are not to be toyed with?... Iam sick of mopping up Birkin’s legacy!" Chris's words were full of anger, so long had he fought against Umbrella only to see their legacy live on after their demise.

~​

"WHO ARE YOU?!" A angry, stressed and slowly beginning to worry about the situation Pablo shouted. Holding his gun out in a more aggressive way whilst his other hand held the case's handle tighter. Pablo's eyes were fixed on Samantha.

~​

Soon the Elevator had reached the top floor. Chris unholstered his pistol before dashing out of the elevator and towards the roof access stairwell. Half way up the stairs he heard Pablo's voice. Stopping in his tracks he looked back to Jill and signalled her to be quiet.

~​

Carlos slowly lifted himself up to his feet, picking up his AK-47 as he did stood. "Your right, I can’t let you go out there alone..." He said with a forced smile still obviously terrified of what they would face.

 

[Anjeru]

Samantha eyed this bald man with a hidden feeling of disgust. She knew he was responsible for the atrocity occuring in Granando at this time and for the countless number of bodies piling up on the city's streets. However, she put on a friendly smile and kept her hands up away from where she had hidden her gun. "My name is Samantha Vallerez. I'm the head scientist researching the G-virus here in Granando." She spoke as soon as the com in her ear activated; as she spoke to Pablo, she was listening to Terrance as he explained that the reinforcements were on their way to the roof at that very moment. She did this to ensure Pablo would not hear when Terrance chose to communicate with her. Now she simply needed to buy time until the man and woman Terrance had told her about reached the roof. "As I told you before, I mean you no harm. I just am curious as to why you're taking my sample of the G-virus. I intended to study it for a purpose."

~~

Jill listened to the conversation taking place on the roof between the scientist and Pablo. She was getting the feeling that Samantha was trying to buy time because of the way she was speaking to the man. She signaled to Chris, pointing to the door with a nod. If they took too long, Samantha could very well be killed, though Jill too was tired of cleaning up the messes brought on by humanity's insane curiousities.

~~

"Thank you..." Marika murmered to Carlos. Despite the tough front she was putting up, she didn't want to face the slaughtering outside alone. She knew she stood no chance alone. She moved towards the window in her livingroom and barely cracked the blinds to peer out to the street outside her house.

She faced Carlos again. "It appears that the streets may not be an option anymore without the use of a vehicle. Perhaps we should use the roofs?" She knew that since Granando was so economically challenged, the housing units were somewhat squashed together. Traveling via the roofways posed as the safest route. But...to where? They hadn't yet decided where to go in the city. They had to find out what was going on and try to put a stop to it.

 

[xMILENKOx]

Chris nodded and was quick to move in. Charging up the stairs he burst through the door in the hope to catch Pablo of guard. "DROP THE GUN PABLO!.." Chris ordered as he moved to the left side of Samantha, he kept his eyes fixed on Pablo. He had waited days to finally see Pablo in the flesh. He was even tempted to shoot him right here right now though with the death of Irving the BSAA needed Pablo if they were going to find others like him.

~​

Pablo was just about to respond to Samantha when the BSAA agents shown up, though luckily never fired his gun in panic. He slowly stepped back his aim switching constantly from each of the 3 people who now stood opposite him. "THI IS MY REWARD!... YOU CANT HAVE IT!... I WILL DIE BEFORE I GIVE UP THE G-VIRUS!..." Slowly but surely Pablo was nearing the edge of the roof where a street littered with Majini would await him. Then he got an idea, he wasn’t going to get away with the G-Virus alive. Suddenly he dropped his gun and reached with his free hand to his briefcase. "You want the G-virus?..." He said as he unlocked the case which gave a hiss as it opened. He then reached in and pulled out the injection gun before uncuffing the briefcase from him. "Come and get it!..." He said quickly before injecting himself in the neck. The empty injection gun fell to the floor and Pablo staggered back falling off the roof. As he fell to the street the virus began to infect his body. A loud thud echoed through the street as he landed on his back. He appeared dead but slowly the G-Virus began to fix his broken bones, the sudden impact and mass injury escalated the mutation rate. Pablo then screamed in agony, the scream eventually changed into a roar.

~​

"NO!.." Chris shouted as he ran to try and stop Pablo injecting himself, but it was too late. From the roof top Chris watched as Pablo mutated. His left arm growning monsterously big, his left hand grown small tallons, a large eye grown out of his left bicep. the left side of his torso gradually grown in mass causeing his clothing to tear apart. The infection soon spreading to his legs causing them grown more muscular monstrous. His neck to altered as it shrunk in length but grew in girth causing his gold chain to snap off. His right arm grew only slightly with most of the mutation taking place on the left side of his body. Right now he looked like the second stages of William Birkins mutation with the damage inflicted upon the hosts body from the fall causing the mutation rate to increase initially. "Shit!... Hes mutated!" Chris muttered as he continued to watch Pablo.

~​

Pablo slowly stood up, and with arms stretched out he let out a fearsome roar. The Majini that surrounded him looked on in confusion. Though they could sense the infection. Pablo then was quick to look up to the roof to see Chris. With another loud roar he jumped and latched onto the side of the hospital and with his talons he climbed up to the roof. The building shook and loud crashing noises could be heard as his talons penertrated the buildings walls for support.

~​

Chris was quick to run back towards Samantha and Jill. "Get off the roof!..." He yelled as he pushed them both towards the door. They had to get away quick before Pablo reached the roof. They were ill equiped to fight him. Meanwhile the Majini followed Pablo and gradually began to surround the Hospital insearch of a way in. Tom stood watching Terrance without realsieing Majini had began to gather in the parking lot.

~​

"Ok.." With a deep breathe Carlos was ready to follow. "We should head for my Barracks its not far from hear and hopefully there will be some of my comrades there who can help... also it is well fortified so we will be safe there..." Carlos informed Marika before heading upstairs.

 

[Anjeru]

Jill wanted to curse as Pablo fell off the side of the roof after injecting himself; how many times was she going to have to go through this? She kept her gun aimed at eye level as Chris darted forth to peer over the edge. Suddenly he turned and shouted. Jill could feel why - the whole building was shaking as Pablo's mutated form began scaling the building. She didn't hesitate. They were in no way prepared to handle a G-Virus mutation.

Turning, she grabbed the scientist's arm and darted towards the door. The building shaking like it was made it hard to keep her balance, but both the woman seemed to be able to manage as they came to the roof's door, Chris on the back of their heels. They darted down the stairs as quickly as they could manage.

"We should take the stairs down, Chris!" Jill said over the loud clamoring of Pablo's scaling. "We'll be dead, fodder for the Majini, if Pablo catches us in the elevator!"

~~

Marika nodded as she darted up the stairs in front of him. She made her way down to the end of the hall, to her parent's room, and walked inside leaving the door open for Carlos. She opened the window and crawled out. "The roofs of the housing should be low enough for us to scale and travel on. We don't want to be caught on the ground with those...things running around. Let's door our best to stay high." She said as she peered back at the soldier, now standing on the side roof of her home.

 

[xMILENKOx]

With a loud crash Pablo had scaled the wall and threw himself over the ledge landing onto the roof. The eye on his left bicep looked around hastially as what was left of Pablo searched for Chris, Jill and Samantha. Pablo memories and control over his body were both deminishing as the seconds past. He remembered passing through the door when he came up onto the roof so with this he charged through the door with his extra body mass crashing through the frame of the door. The sounds of voices and footsteps alerting Pablo to Chris, Jill and Samantha's location. With a mighty roar Pablo charged through the walls untill he was out on the stair well.

"Run!..." Chris shouted as the wall behind him collapsed as Pablo burst through. As he made his way down the stairs he almost pushed Jill and Samantha down the stairs. Luckilly the stairwell was far too narrow for Pablo to follow them but the beast was quick to use his initiative and pull away the elevator door before droping down the elevator shaft as he continued his persuit.

As they scaled the stairs Pablo forced his left arm through the wall in the hope to strike any of the three with his talons. Chris stopped suddenly as Pablo's arm crashed through the wall between him and Jill. "You two go I will try and distract him!..." Chris ordered before fireing a few shots into Pablo's arm. Chris then made his way back up a few steps and fired a few more shots. Pablo sensed the agression towards him and began to climb back up the shaft. Meanwhile down in the parking lot Tom was still unaware of the majini that were gathering behind him. The sound of shuffleing though soon got his attention as he turned to face the hoarde. Terror soon filled the young man before he began to fire wildly at the manjini who with this charged him. Tom fired around him until he was eventually surrounded and beaten to the ground. A few majini dropping down to their knees as they continued to to maul the rookie B.S.A.A agent.

~​

Carlos was quick to follow Marika as they made their way across the roof tops, all around him he saw Majini flooding the streets in search for them. Holding his AK-47 tightly as he tried his best to be discreet to avoid the Majini noticeing them.

 

[Anjeru]

Jill did her best to duck and roll under Pablo's attacks through the walls that led to the elevator shaft. She fired shots of the 9mm bullets at the arm, each time it appeared to swat at them.

"Alright! Be careful Chris! Jill shouted, a tad worried. Many times the two found themselves almost losing each other in these damned situations caused by Umbrella's legacy. She shook her head and bolted down the stairs, pulling the scientist along with her.

It wasn't long before they came down to the enterance and found Tom being attacked by Majini. "Tom!" Jill shouted his name as she reloaded a new clip and began firing. Each bullet was precise, finding the attacking Las Plagas infectee's quite literally between the eyes.

By the time she came close to him, she knew they had been too late. Tom was dead, a mutilated corpse laying in a pool of blood and organs. Jill finished off the Majini and turned, watching as Samantha ran forward to check on her assitant that had taken refuge in the truck.

Jill listened for any loud banging that would give her any sign of Chris or Pablo as Samantha spoke to her companion.

~~

Marika motioned for silence as the crossed onto another roof, catching sight of gathering Majini below them. She kept her gun close and ready, knowing the slightest noise would alert the monsters to their whereabouts. Growing up in a military family, she knew basic silent communication so she signaled for Carlos to move onto the next building as she kept an eye on their rear.

 

[xMILENKOx]

As Chris fought with Pablo as the man and the monster made there way back up the stairwell/elevator shaft. Every time the ugly mutated talon was on show Chris wasted no time in take a few shots. Soon his clip was empty, Chris was quick to reload but as he replaced the clip Pablo had struck again. His talons just missing Chris's stomach but caught his combat harness. It wasnt long till Pablo pulled back his talon and Chris followed. Crashing through the hole in the wall Chris was soon face to face with Pablo. Lucky enough Pablo's talons were tangled in Chris's uniform. Chris pushed the barral of his pistol against Pablos face and without a care pulled the trigger. With a loud roar Pablo lost his grip on the wall and both him and Chris fell down the shaft. Dropping his gun Chris was quick to unsheath his knife and cut himself loose and climb up onto Pablo's back.

With a loud crash Pablo hit the bottom off the elevator shaft. A cloud of dust billowed out inot the parking lot as the stunned beast lay almost lifeless with Chris safely clinging to its back. Picking up his gun Chris ran out of the elevator and towards Jill. "Quickly we have to get out of here before he wakes up!.." Chris ordered as he removed his shredded shirt to reveal a sweat soaked white vest that clung to his physique.

~​

Carlos led the way moveing in a tactical style as he scaled the roof tops from one to another as silently as he possibly could. The crowd below makeing plenty of noise to cover any slight noises they made. Soon the Barracks were in sight and gunfire echoed from them. Carlos could see the gate guards fireing from the guard towers of the fortified barracks. "I knew the Barracks would still be standing!.." The barracks was where Carlos was trained, he grew to hate those who trained him so fiercly but he knew they were men who could help and protect him better than anyone else he knew in the city.

 

[Anjeru]

There was a gaigantic thud and Jill turned in a complete 180 degree arc purely on reflex. Her eyes narrowed carefully as the dust settled. Then they widened with relief as Chris came charging out. "Chris! I'm glad you're okay!" She said with relief, her visible tension easing up a little, but then it tensed right back up.

"Tom is dead, Chris. I did my best but the Las Plagas infected got to him before I could shoot all the bastards." Jill told him as he discarded of his torn shirt. Now wasn't the time to admire his physique, but she knew Chris has always been well built.

She moved around to alert Samantha and Terrance that they were going to be moving out. Both the scientists came out of the humvee and back to Jill and Chris. Remembering that Samantha already has a 9mm pistol, Jill pulled her spare 9mm and tossed it to Terrance. "You're expected to carry your own weight if you want to survive this," She said, then turned to Chris and gave a firm nod. "Alright, let's go!"

~~

Marika's eyes lit up at Carlos' words and at the sight of the active gunfire from the tower gates. That likely meant that the fort barracks had survived and they had a good chance of finding other survivors that weren't infected. "You got a way to let them know it's you and not the infected approaching? I don't really feel like being shot because I was mitaken for one of those fucking monsters." She said as they drew closer.

 

[xMILENKOx]

As Pablo lay motionless his body continued to mutate. The gunshot wound and the damage to his body from the fall all began to heal. The damage causing more rapid mutation. His right arm growning larger with talons replaceing fingers. What was left of his suit continuied to tear apart as his over all size increased. Chris turned back to face Pablo as he reached the Humvee. With a sigh and a shake of his head he knew the worst was yet to come. His gaze soon fell upon Tom though it soon returned to the Humvee as he climbed into the drivers seat and started up the vehicle. "Get in..." He ordered with a angry tone. He hated knowing all he could do know was flee. With Pablo current state of mutation any more wounds inflicted upon him would simply increase the rate of mutation and heal in minuites.

~​

As they came to the final roof top Carlos stopped and crouched. His eyes scanned over the crowed who were frantically trying to force their way through the gates of the Barracks. The Crowd was not all Majini some were survivors seeking safety. Un aware of this the soldiers inside the the Baracks fences fired excessive ammounts of ammunition from guard towers and through the gaps in the chain link fences. "I dont know, it looks like they are just shooting on sight! It would be suicidal to even approach that gate..." Carlos replied as he rubed his head as he tryed to think of a solution to this new found problem.

 

[Anjeru]

Jill snapped her head, motioning for the scientists to get into the Humvee. They did as she ordered, Samantha climbing into the passenger seat and Terrance in the back. Jill moved to Tom's mutilated body and gathered up his discarded weapons, strapping them to her empty holsters and such.

Turning, she jumped onto the back of the Humvee and took seat behind the mounted gun. "I'll take control of the mount," she said to Chris. There was no telling what they would come across in their treck through the city, but she wasn't going to go down without one hell of a fight.

~~

"Shit...what should we do?..." Marika's small white teeth nibbled at her lower lip worriedly. She didn't want to die at the hands of the Majini, but damn, being blasted away by the fort soldiers wasn't a way she wanted to go either.

She closed her eyes and sighed, fingers working at the crease of her brows. Then she thought of something, and opened her eyes, looking over Carlos quietly for a moment. She couldn't see one, but he might have hidden it on his person. "Do you have a radio, Carlos?"

 

[xMILENKOx]

Once everyone had got inside the humvee Chris was quick to drive out of the Hospital parking lot and out into the streets of Granando. As the humvee raced through the streets all around chaos spread. The Las Plagas multiplying rapid and consuming the population of the city. Chris's eyes were focused on the roads ahead as he recklessly drove through the city with no idea where he was heading. Power sliding round corners almost causing the humvee to tip over a angry and stressed Chris Redfield searched for a safe place. Soon the road was not clear, a old military road block stood in their way. The soldiers who guarded this barricade who now were infected along with other Majini all stood fearlessly as the humvee charged towards them. "Shit..." Chris growled as he suddenly turned the humvee throwing it round 360 degrees in a u turn. The back of the humvee knocking a few majini flying as the vehicle hit them. The majini roared fiercely as they all took arms against the humvee throwing stones, bottles and even the weapons they had used to beat people to death with. Chris was quick to get the humvee moving again as they drove back the way they had came.

Though suddenly from the side of the street a majini soldier stumbled out of a cafe armed with a AK-47 assault rifle. Chris locked eyes with the monster as it was quick to take aim and fire upon the humvee. In a matter of seconds a spray of bullets darted towards the humvee. Chris kept drive but was struck in the shoulder momentarily causing him to lose focus. The Hum then spinning out of control and crashing into burned out tank. Chris was thrown through the windscreen and crashed against the solid hull of the destroyed tank. Laying dazed slumped against the tank Chris drifted in and out of consciousness unaware of the majini hoard that swiftly approached him.

~​

Meanwhile back at the hospital the large eye on Pablo's left bicep opened suddenly and looked around hastily. The large beast slowly lifting itself to its feet to find its prey had escaped. Standing tall and slightly larger than before the monster that was once Pablo let out a blood curdling roar. Its strong talon tipped arm spread out as its deformed body continued to grow. His jaw dislocating as a new head grew from inside his throat forcing its way out of Pablo's skull. Extra talons grew out of his back like the spikes of a porcupine. His legs grew longer and changed shape almost like the hind legs of a dog. What remained of Pablo had slowly diminished and all that was left was a towering monster with a thirst for blood.

Carlos was quick to search himself though it was of no use. Somewhere in the chaos of today he had lost his radio. His mind raced as he desperately searched his mind for another idea. He was quick to turn to Marika. "I have an idea.." With this he removed his vest and stood up on the roof top. Waving the white vest like a flag in the air he desperately tried to get the soldiers attention. "HEY!... OVER HERE!..." This daring plan caused the majini below to notice Carlos and Marika on the roof. Carlos's eyes looked down to see the majini begin to gather around the building below. His gaze soon returned to the barracks where one of the guard tower soldiers stared at them through the lenses of a sniper scope. Carlos took a deep breath hoping the sniper realised he wasn’t infected, though his worries were soon over as a single shot beheaded one of the majini below. Carlos smiled briefly as the sniper began to kill off the majini that tried to climb up to Carlos and Marika. Carlos then arming himself with his AK-47 and began firing down at the crowed desperately trying to clear a path between them and the barracks.
