Chapter 9

Everything was black but Leon could still hear two voices.

Lucario: Who are these people?

Snake: Don’t know. I looked at the man’s ID, he’s works for the government but by the looks of the date is should be expired. His name is Leon S. Kennedy.

Lucario: The woman?

Snake: Claire Redfield. She works for a group called B.S.A.A. I don’t know what they do but how it sounds it seems they’re some counter bio-terror unit.

Lucario: Do you think they were here to arrest you?

Snake: No, my guess is they were trying to rescue the survivors but I guess arresting me was still on their to-do list. The problem is though, Leon works for the government.

Lucario: Do you think he was working for that one group you told us about?

Snake: The Patriots? We’ll find out. (To Leon) HEY! WAKE UP!!

Leon regained consciousness and sees Snake and Lucario standing in front of him. Leon tried to move but he finds out that his wrists were handcuffed behind a pipe. He also sees Claire, still unconscious, with her wrists handcuffed to another pipe by the wall.

Snake: Okay buddy let’s hear it? Who are you working for?

Leon: You read my ID, the government.

Snake: Did “they” sent you?

Leon: “They”?

Snake: Don’t play that game with me. I know the Patriots was framing me from the start with that whole act of that man giving me that briefcase full of that T-Virus and then, they sent you to clean me up.

Leon: The Patriots? What are you talking about?

Snake then kicks Leon in the stomach as if he was being interrogated.

Snake: I’m sure a guy yourself who works with the government knows about the Patriots already.

Leon: I don’t know, who’s the Patriots.

Snake: You want to play that game, fine with me.

Snake pulls out his Mark 23 and fires at the wall next to Leon. He then presses his gun next to his head.

Snake: The next shot will kill you unless you tell me what you’re doing here.

Leon: I was here to save the survivors of your mess.

Snake: My mess?! I didn’t even start it.

Leon: Oh yeah explain the man you infected. Why would you use the T-Virus?

Snake: First, I didn’t infect that man, he already was infected before I was even there. Second, how would I know how to use the T-Virus if I even didn’t know what it was in the first place?

Leon: Well, you came back to the scene of crime for some reason.

Snake: Same thing, you’re doing right now. Finding and rescuing the survivors.

Leon: That’s what you’re here for? You’re not here for anything else?

Snake: Just to fix a mistake.

Leon: What mistake?

Snake: Letting the virus spread. When he fell dead to the floor, I knew something was wrong with him but instead of telling anybody I just ran out of there. I came here to atone for that.

Leon: Then what did you do with the virus you had in that briefcase?

Snake: Disposed of it. I made sure it won’t fall into the wrong hands. Listen I like to stay here and chat but we’re on short time here. By sunrise, which is exactly about in five more hours the military will blow this place to hell unless we give them proof that survivors are here.

Leon: I know. The survivors are located in the food court of the mall we have to get down one more floor to reach that level.

Snake: The whole entire mall is under lockdown, the elevator didn’t work. So that means we may have to use the stairs to get there depending the lockdown didn’t lock the door, that is.

Leon: What’s Plan B?

Snake: Plan B, is going down through the elevator shaft.

Leon: What are we waiting for?

Snake: I’m not letting you go just, yet. You said you didn’t know who the Patriots were and you work for the government. I need to know if I can trust you.  I need to know the last minute I turn my back to you, you won’t sneak up on me and try to do something stupid. I need to know you won’t try to kill or arrest me.

Leon: You have my word.

Snake: Let’s hope so for your sake.

They then heard a groan come from Claire, she was waking up. When she regained consciousness, she tried to move but found out she was handcuffed. She then saw Snake and Lucario. She then tried to escape but no use.

Snake: Calm down. I won’t hurt you.

Claire: Didn’t stop you from knocking me out.

Snake: (sighs) Great.

Leon: Claire, situation’s changed. He’s helping us now.

Claire: Him? Did you just forget what he just did?

Leon: Apparently, he’s told me his side of what happened.

Claire: What about the case?

Snake: Destroyed, along with what was in it.

Claire: Why?

Snake: Because I’m not the bad guy here. Listen, we can talk here all we want but we’re wasting time.

Leon: He’s right. We have five hours left before sunrise. We need to get a move on.

Claire: Fine. We may as well have to work with him.

Snake un-cuffed the two and gives them their equipment back.

Snake: Did you find the stairs, Lucario?

Lucario: I did. I’ll lead the way.

Snake: Good, let’s move out.

The four of them moved out of the storage room and moved through the hallway. Their lights shined through the darkness as they moved into the office section. Suddenly, they heard a sound behind their direction. They shined their lights behind and saw nothing.

Leon: Must’ve been nothing.

They kept going on until they heard the same sound and this time it was in the ventilation system. Something was in the vents, it banged hard against the structure until Snake, Claire, and Leon fired a lot of rounds into the vents hoping it killed whatever what was in it. Then, the being jumped from vents onto the floor. It was red all around it turned and faced them, on its hands were razor sharp claws and it’s head had no eyes but then moved its tongue revealing it to be very long.

Leon: Shit.

Snake: What is that?

Leon: Licker. These things are deadly, they can scale the walls and the ceiling, can really cut you to pieces with those claws. Another deadly thing on them is that tongue, it’s strong enough to even pierce your body. They can’t see us, they can only hear us.

Snake: I guess they already did.

Lucario: Any suggestions?

Leon: This hallway we’re in is too narrow, we need to fight them in a very open space.

Claire: The office area looks big enough if you ask me.

Snake: Let’s keep walking back.

Then suddenly, more of the Lickers came out the vents.

Snake: You know what? Running sounds like a good idea.

Claire: Ditto.

The duo then suddenly makes a break for it. The Lickers followed them as more of them started to show up. Snake, on the other hand wanted to even the odds a bit, so he throws a frag grenade behind him, the grenade exploded, killing a few but not entirely all the Lickers. They manage to make it into the office section where there was plenty of space. Snake and Leon barricaded the door to the office section to buy some time.

Snake: Do you think that’ll hold them?

Leon: Maybe, but not for long.

Lucario: We have to be ready when they do.

Claire: Uh…guys hate to break this to you but I think they found another way to get in.

Claire pointed to a glass window which showed the Lickers on the side still. One of them jumps through the window breaking it. Snake equips the Saiga semi-automatic shotgun from his gear and shoots at the Licker. More of them came into the room. Snake, Claire, and Leon shot at them while Lucario jumped for a close encounter fight with them. Using all of his abilities, he stood a pretty good chance against a big group of Lickers. Snake reloaded his shotgun and continued to fire at the Lickers until suddenly one their tongues wrapped around his right leg. It dragged him towards a Licker but before it could get a chance to bite or scratch him. Snake used his left foot to hold the head from moving forward. Snake then gets his Mark 23 out of his holster and shot it in the head a couple of times, killing it, instantly. Other Lickers were about to get over him until Lucario jumped to his position and defended him. Snake got up and helped the Aura Pokemon. Leon and Claire were doing okay against them. They seen him before and knew how to kill them. The room was full of dead Lickers in the area. One Licker that was wounded was trying to get up until Snake finished it off with the shotgun.

Snake: Was that all of them?

Leon: Possibly. Unless some of them ran away.

Then they heard a big screech and then saw a big looking Licker different from the others. It looked bigger and had black skin around it.

Snake: I think we missed one.

YAY. They're fighting together. Oh, thank god. Leon and Snake? Win combo. And I keep wondering about Snake and Claire. Maybe I'm being another fan fic freak, but... for some reason, seeing them together would be cute. THAT'S JUST ME.

Great work. Keep going!
