Chapter 1: When hell breaks loose

A tourist bus carrying a load of tourists of many types is heading towards a large town which is marked on the map as Raccoon City. It's dark outside as it's nine pm. in the evening. All passengers are minding their own business, asleep or reading the paper. A boy around fifteen in the age leans his head over his shoulder as he looks outside into the dark night. He brushes some of his brown hair from the way of his eyes. The boy is considered roughly built and is wearing a black leather jacket with the zipper open, revealing a dark green t-shirt that seems a bit tight. Added with a pair of dark blue jeans that seem brand new that were held up with a brown belt. He kicks the floor of the bus with his brown sneaker covered feet and brushes some dust off his pitch black fingerless gloves. He gazes out with his dark green eyes and sighs as a sign of boredom.

"Three more cities to go..." he sighs and seems to doze off.

The bus enters the city with the streets seeming empty. The passengers who were awake were a bit spooked by the city. It seemed like a ghost town rather than a busy metropolis. The driver is calmly turning around the corner... but as he turns a man is stumbling right in the middle of the road. The driver made a sharp turn, scaring many passengers and waking all of the sleeping ones. But then even more people were on the road with the driver making sharper and sharper turns to avoid them, but the bus finally falls over, knocking almost all passengers out, including the boy. After the crash, some who were still conscious heard shuffling sounds of feet and sickening moans.

"Keep running Helene!"

Two teens, a girl and an older looking boy were running through the alleys of Raccoon, behind them a huge pack of people. But these people didn't seem okay. Their eyes were plain white with no pupils, their skin seemed to have been turned brown from rot and their dirty torn up clothes were covered in dry blood. What were they? Well, we all think that is simple. These weren't just plain human beings, but had been. They were zombies, the undead. Human flesh craving dead people. They moved pretty slowly with their decaying legs, but the cramped alleys made escaping harder. The two teens only got more of those zombies on their tail with every wrong turn.

The two finally came to a fence. It was rather sturdy and made of wood, so ramming it wouldn't help at all.

"Now what do we do Osamo?" The girl panicked. The girl along with her obvious brother seemed to be from a Japanese breed. The girl had black, long hair that swayed in the wind and was wearing a red long sleeved shirt, black jeans held up with a blue belt, red and black fingerless gloves, gray sneakers and a dark green backpack.

"I'll help you get over the fence. I'll follow." The boy Osamo said.

"But... what if those things catch you!" The girl exclaimed scared.

"Just do it!" Osamo knelt down, letting her sister stand on his shoulders andcarefully lift her up. Helene jumped to the other side and waited for her brother.

As Osamo was starting to climb up the fence, the zombies were closing in with their eyes showing signs of mad hunger for the boy's flesh. Osamo thought he'd make it, but then a doberman that was also decaying, ran through the pack of zombies and loged it jaws into the boys back, making him scream in agony and loose his grip and fall right in front of the pack of zombies that piled up on the boy and started tearing away at his flesh. Helene heard his brother's screams and was even more terrified.

"Osamo! Osamo! No!" Helene shed many tears of sorrow and fear. She looked back to see a lone zombie shuffling at her.

"Goodbye Osamo..." Helene then ran swiftly past the zombie. She came out into the open street and noticed a few zombies shuffling around, also looking for living flesh to feed on. Helene also noticed the street was blocked from both sides by wreckage and the fence behind her was shaking from the zombies that were trying to get through. Helene ran towards the row of buildings and started banging on one's door.

"Anyone! Let me in! Help!" Helene yelled frantically as she noticed about six zombies moving towards her.

Suddenly the door was opened. Behind that stood a wounded looking man holding a pistol.

"Get in! Quick!" The man swung his arm to tell Helene to come in.

"What the hell is wrong with this town?" Helene asked still terrified.

"I don't know. Everything was going fine until one, two, the streets are overrun by these... these... zombies!" The man said shakily.

Helene looked around to notice the shop was a weapon shop. The man who was obviously the owner walked to the back of the room and opened another door that seemed to lead to a kitchen.

"Get in here! You'll be a lot safer." The man said.

"But what about you?" Helene asked with concern towards the man.

"Don't worry about me. Just get in." The man said raising his voice slightly.

"Alright, sorry." Helene walked into the room and the man closed the door.

"And be sure to lock the door..." The man said as he collapsed on his knees.

Back to the wreckage of the bus. The boy from before was regaining consciousness. He was rather pissed off from being in a bus accident the first time. He mumbled obscenities as he grabbed his blue and black backpack and crawled out of the bus's window.

"Fucking idiot bus driver! He's really gonna get a peace of my mind when I..." The boy suddenly noticed after standing up that people were shuffling at him. He thought these guys really had problems as they were all rotting and wore bloody clothes. He looked around to notice a crowbar on the ground. He grabbed it and held it like a sword. "Get back or don't move closer at all freaks!"

The creatures continued advancing towards him. He prepared the crowbar for a swing.

"I said don't come any closer fags! One more step and you'll have a damn painful headache!" The boy threatened to hide his fear. The creatures still advanced towards him. "Alright take this!" The boy hit one of them on the head with the crowbar, instantly knocking off its head and the rest of its body fell dead on the ground. "Well shit..." The boy rammed through the other creatures and started running with cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

"What the hell are those things?" He exclaimed as a few more were up ahead. He knocked off one's head and knocked the other one down by kicking it.

"Fuck this! I have to get inside!" He looked around to notice some shops on the side of the street. There were more of those creatures that now sensed him and were shuffling towards him.

"Sorry, dinner's canceled!" The boy ran through the creatures and knocked a few down with powerful thrust kicks and his crowbar, not daring to touch them. He ran to a green door with a window on it. He broke the window into smithereens with the crowbar and climbed inside.

The boy got up to notice his luck was being generous as it was a weapon shop he just jumped into. But his relief was cut short as another creature inside the shop was advancing towards him. He was more than able to handle it as he just performed another horizontal swing on its head, taking it off instantly. He then noticed some of the creatures outside advancing towards the door. The boy noticed a bunch of weapon lockers and pushed them in front of the door, hoping they'll hold a while.

"Sir... what's going on?" The boy heard from the back of the room. He advanced towards the door in the back of the shop and knocked on it.

"Hello?" He said. "Open up."

The door slowly opened up until the boy quickly opened it and noticed a Japanese breed girl in there.

"W-who are you? What happened to the..." The girl noticed the shopkeeper's corpse on the floor with its head knocked off. "What did you do that for? Are you crazy!" The girl grabbed the boy by his t-shirt's neck.

"Hey! So it would have been better that he would have bitten me or something! I had to do it!" The boy blurted out.

"Oh... sorry." The girl bowed.

"Who are you anyway?" The boy asked.

"Helene. Helene Nayami."

"Japanese?" The boy asked.

"Yea. I'm originally from Kyoto, but I moved here with my family when I was only two. But what's your name."

"Josh. Josh Ellington," The boy now known as Josh answered. "What's going on in this city?" He asked.

"A few weeks ago some sort of disease struck town. It killed many people, including my grandmother and two of my best friends. Not long after that, people were becoming crazy flesh eating monsters or zombies in other words. Some say the disease caused this. Killing people, then bringing them back as monsters..." Helene explained scared.

"Well, where's the rest of your family?" Josh asked.

"My brother Osamo was just eaten by those monsters and my parents are gone. I last saw them when they left for work, but they didn't return."

"Where did they work?" Josh asked.

"They worked for Umbrella." Helene replied.

"The pharmaceutical company Umbrella Inc.? Yea, I hear this town is run by it. But enough about that. I'm getting out of this town." Josh said.

"I'm coming with you Josh. There's no hope for this city anymore so we both should leave." Helene said.

"Well, I'm not leaving empty handed..." Josh went behind the cash desk and started opening the drawers. He then found what he was looking for. "Sweet! A USP." He was holding a large, black pistol with a laser pointer. He then continued searching every drawer or locker that were left unlocked. He walked back to Helene. "Take this." He gave Helene another pistol that was slightly different shape and also had a laser pointer.

"A gun?" Helene looked at the weapon.

"Don't tell me you've never seen a SOCOM before?" Josh asked.

"Well, I've seen guns, but I'm not good with names." Helene said.

"Well, the SOCOM is an automatic pistol which can be equipped with the laser aiming module, making aiming pretty easy. It's large and a bit heavy to reduce the recoil after firing and can fire pretty far because of that. It has about... twelve or fifteen bullets in one clip." Josh explained. "But do you know how to shoot?"

"Well... no..." Helene ducked her head.

Josh sighed.

"Just point the gun at something you want to shoot at, like this, holding it with two hands." Josh showed and Helene followed. "After you aim what you want to fire at, pull the trigger and..." Josh pulled the trigger and a loud bang came out and a new hole appeared on the wall, Helene followed, but was taken aback a bit.

"Simple. You reload like this." Josh emptied out his own clip, but he put it back in. "You just have to take a full clip and not put the same one in. Which reminds me..." Josh double checked the drawers and found six packages of bullets. "We'll share these. But don't go all trigger happy with it since I doubt we'll have enough to shoot all the zombies."

"How do you know so much about these things?" Helene asked.

"My dad's a Marine commander. He's been teaching me this stuff. Stay behind me, cause I'm the only one with a close range weapon." Josh said as he motioned his hand to his crowbar that was now hung up on his belt.

Suddenly the empty weapon lockers were knocked down and two of the zombies was trying to climb in...

"Run!" Josh yelled as Helene ran back to the kitchen. Josh then did what kids shouldn't do as he quickly opened the cashier and grabbed a couple of hundred dollars from it, pocketed them, ran after Helene and shut the door. The first zombie finally got in and more were coming...

"Now what?" Helene asked.

"We go out that door." Josh pointed at another door in the back of the kitchen.

Josh carefully opened the door and pointed his gun in several ways until he finally came out and Helene followed. They were back into an alley, but it was wider and there were no zombies.

"Helene." Josh turned to the girl. "I'm not from Raccoon, so do you know any place here that could be a bit secure and we'd have a good chance of finding an escape route?"

"Well, there's always the police station." Helene said.

"Then it's settled, we're heading for the police station." Josh said.

The two ran through the alley and came to a metal barred door. The two teens could easily see one zombie standing there as it hadn't sensed them yet. Josh pointed his USP through the bars to motion the gun to point at the zombie's head. After a few seconds, he fired and the zombie fell dead on the concrete. The kids then opened the door and continued carefully to not get ambushed.

"Hard to believe this is really hapening. And I was just going to drive through here." Josh said.

"I'd probably be dead by now if you didn't come along." Helene said.

"Oh... well. Yea, maybe." Josh answered.

As the two carried on, they came to a narrowing in the alley and to their dismay, there were four zombies waltzing around with their sickening moans.

"Time to see how your shooting goes." Josh said as he pointed his USP at the zombies and Helene followed.

The zombies began approaching, but Josh opened fire and was pretty quick with that gun of his, but Helene was slightly shaky and didn't get so great head shots like Josh.

After a few seconds, the zombies were lying dead on the ground in their pools of blood. The two teens continued, but and unexpected thing happened. One of the zombies grabbed Josh's leg and tried to bite. Josh grunted as he tried shaking it off. Helene was about to shoot the undead creature, but Josh tore off the zombie's arms and continued on as the arms fell off of him limp on the ground. There was a door that was like the last one, only a bit rustier. Josh scanned through the bars to see nothing out of the ordinary. He opened the door and he along with Helene continued. The kids then noticed a net fence with a large hole on it and behind the fence were two small dog houses.

"Let me guess. Zombie dogs?" Josh asked himself.

"That's one of the creatures that killed my brother. I heard a bark and snarl before Osamo fell into that patch of zombies." Helene said growing nervous.

"Dog or not, it's not gonna stand up against my gun." Josh said as he tightened his grip on his USP.

The kids were suddenly startled by a blood curling yell from inside the alley. They went farther to see two zombified canines tearing the meat off a man's body. Helene and Josh felt pretty scared to see something like that. Then as the zombie dogs sensed the living flesh on the kids, they turned their attention to them from their meal. One of them growled as it slowly advanced towards. Josh was the quickest to react as he already had his USP firing at the zombie dogs with the approaching one getting a direct hit in its cranium, making the zombie dog fall more dead on the ground while the other one was rushing towards the kids with eyes showing hunger for blood. The dog leapt at Josh who just managed to dodge, but the dog was coming back for another one.

"Look out!" Helene yelled.

Josh was drawing out his crowbar, but the zombie dog knocked him down and was about to bite Josh's neck, but Josh used the crowbar to keep the dogs jaws away from him, but the dog was really strong and Josh was losing his grip on the crowbar.

"Shoot it!" Josh yelled! Helene was trying to aim, but was scared that she'd hit Josh. "What are you waiting for? Shoot it!"

Helene finally got the courage to fire, but she hit the zombie dog's back, making the canine turn its attention to her. The zombie dog leapt off Josh and was rushing at Helene, but something snapped inside Helene and she fired about five shots into the attacking dog, making it finally drop dead.

"That was some impressive shooting. You should join the military when you reach a certain age." Josh said dusting himself off.

"I'll think about it. I admit I'll never reach the same level of skill as you." Helene said.

"That'll happen if I let my guard down." Josh grinned.

The kids noticed the dead man slowly zombifying...

"Let's go." Josh said.

Helene nodded and the two continued their way through the alley. They continued suprsingly well without confrontations from zombies. They then stumbled to a barricade.

"Shit!" Josh kicked the barricade.

"That won't solve anything Josh. We should find a way somehow." Helene said. "Give me a boost, I'll see if it's safe back there."

"Okay." Josh knelt down, letting Helene climb on his shoulders. Jose stood up, letting Helene see behind the barricade.

"We're in luck." Helene said.

"What? Why?" Josh asked.

"It's the police station. We made it." Helene said.

End of chapter 1.

Chapter 2: Hellish behemoths

"So that's Raccoon's police station. Weird architecture in my opinion." Josh said as he and Helene scanned the surroundings. They had climbed over the fencing in the side and proceeded through a garden pathway to the front entrance. The two green painted oak doors were adorned with bronze handles and large white letters: R.P.D were placed above the door and on the left side of the letter was an American flag and on the right side was a blue flag with the Raccoon City police department's symbol on it.

"Hey, what's that?" Helene noticed something lying on the ground near the main gate.

The teens moved closer to something that looked like a dead man wearing a yellow vest with the letters: S.T.A.R.S sowed onto it and also had fatigue pants. His head seemed to have been pierced by something.

"He's dead..." Josh shook his head slightly.

"No reason to stay out here. Let's go in." Helene walked ahead into the police station and Josh quickly followed.

The kids entered the wide lobby of the Raccoon police department. Josh was speechless in a way about the building. The floors were made of marble with the R.P.D insignia and a majestic fountain was placed there with a statue of some sort of goddess statue placed into it. The place had two upper floors, both visible from the first level with wooden railings placed around them.

"This has got to be the weirdest PD I've seen." Josh said. "Aw hell. Least we're safe in here."

The kids walked up to the desk behind the goddess statue where a large wooden desk was placed, with pens and papers littering its surface and in the side was a computer with its screen still turned on. Helene spotted something shiny under the desks. She walked closer to the desk, pulled the rather large object from under the desk and examined it.

"A gun..." She picked up the slightly heavy two-handed weapon and showed it to Josh. "Care to explain what this is?' She asked.

Josh grabbed the gun and felt it while looking overly amazed and intrigued.

"Helene. What you've got here, is an actual Remington 870 shotgun. This is possibly one of the most kickass guns I've ever seen. But I'd still prefer a SPAS over this in any day." Josh was handing the new weapon back to Helene, but Helene put her hand in front of it and pushed in back to Josh.

"You keep it. I'll find myself dead with that." Helene said.

"And why's that?' Josh curiously asked.

"It's so heavy I won't be able to even aim. You can have it." Helene insisted.

"Sweet!" Josh strapped the shotgun around his chest. "I can't wait to see it in action!" He said excitedly.

"Ahem..." Helene shot an angry glare at Josh.

"Oh... right. Don't hope for zombies as target practice." Josh nodded nervously since he sometimes had trouble with angry girls. "But still, you won't last long without more heavy weaponry. C'mon, let's check this place out."

The kids headed through a set of double doors and entered a room with a big row of desks, a table laying on its side and lots of blood spilled around.

"This looks unpromising. Right Josh... Josh?" Helene noticed Josh rumacing through the set of lockers on the side and threw books and other junk out. "What are you doing Josh?"

"Looking for a little thing called shells. I found some..."Josh rumaced even more...

"GRUUAAH!" A thundering roar sounded right across the room.

Helene was shaking and Josh looked back, pocketing an extra package of bullets.

"Uh... Josh..." Helene was trembling. "What was that?"

"Dunno. And I'm certainly not..."

The door across the room burst open and in came a huge zombie-like being with a horrible grin on its face and was wielding a rocket launcher. It was dressed in black clothing and had a tentacle slithering on its shoulder.

"STARS!" The creature roared as it scanned its surroundings

Josh and Helene immediately took cover behind the knocked down table. Josh carefully peeked from behind to see what the gruesome thing was up to.

"Grraaar!" The creature roared and turned back, miraculously even closing the door behind it.

"What was that?" Helene asked shakily.

"Dunno and the fuck don't want to find out! Lets get outta here!" Josh grabbed Helene by the wrist and ran through the door they came in and were back in the lobby.

"Dammit! This place is equal as Hell to the whole city!" Josh punched the wall angrily. "We're so dead if we run into that thing." Josh's head fell lower.

"Don't worry, let's just go through that other door, and have a little peek." Helene suggested.

"Fine. But if that thing shows up again, I'm not going to be a hero." Josh blurted.

The two teens went through another set of doors and stumbled into a room with two zombies who were obviously cops when alive. The room itself must have been an office with a desk ahead with a type of wooden back placed onto it, making it impossible to see behind it. On the right were receptionist windows that were empty.

"Alright. Time to see this ol' Remington in action." Josh grabbed the Remington from his back and walked slightly closer to the closest zombie.

The zombie hungrily shuffled towards the Marine fan teen, only to have its head blasted off with a bloody burst as Josh fired a powerful shot out of the shotgun. He then reloaded it for another shot with the shotgun's pump.

"That was sickening, but this gun rocks." Josh said partly grinning. "Now for him..." Josh grabbed his USP from his belt and strapped the shotgun. "Wanna help?"

"Sure." Helene said and took out her SOCOM.

The teens aimed their guns at the advancing zombie. The laser sightings' beams were both aimed at its forehead and was instantly killed from two shots. Josh walked forward, only to be ambushed by another zombie that was hiding behind the desk's wooden cover. The zombie grabbed Josh by his shoulders and tried to bite, but Josh held it back with his arms.

"Josh!" Helene screamed.

Josh brought up his leg onto the zombie's abdomen and kicked it back and fired two shots out of his USP and the zombie was lying in a pool of blood.

"Be careful Josh. You almost got bitten." Helene said full of concern.

"That was nothing. By the way, do you have any self-defense skills other than just relying on me?" Josh asked curiously.

"Well, I know judo. But I just don't want to touch those things." Helene admitted.

"Then why not use kicks? A kick can be an effective weapon and if you're skilled enough, you could just snap of their heads and not waste ammo. All I can do is use my crowbar and surroundings. Dad taught me all of this." Josh explained proudly.

"Uh huh. I can certainly see you're no gentleman." Helene teased.

"Uh... I just like to act tough. I don't want to be scared so I try to act tough to make it out of this Hell hole alive." Josh said, feeling strangely hot. "Now let's get going..." They walked through another door behind wooden cover next to a window, but it was impossible to see what was outside since it was too dark outside...

They were now in a narrow hallway with shattered windows on the wall separating them from the outside.

"Better be careful. Who knows how many got in..." Josh informed Helene and they cautiously walked deeper into the hall.

Both were startled by a lying police corps on the floor with its head missing.

"Damn..." Josh thought as he examined the body.

"What could have done that? I bet those zombies could never rip something apart like this." Helene said. "Josh. Why are we walking in this hallway anyhow? I think the lobby was safer..." Helene said.

"I want to check one little thing in here. And it's not guns..." Josh said and continued on, but was shook up by glass breaking. He looked left to see a zombie climbing in through one of the broken windows. Helene caught up to Josh and was already pointing her SOCOM at the rotting sack of meat.

"Forget about it. Let's just mosey out of here." Josh and Helene ran out another door at the end of the hall to come out in another hall with all the windows barricaded.

"Seems peaceful enough." Helene said, but even this hall wasn't safe...

A sound of a dog's feet hitting the floor echoed through the hall and in a matter of seconds, standing some distance away from the teens, was a zombie dog, grolwing as it layed eyes on its 'meal'.

"Well shit..." Josh quickly grabbed his Remington and started taking aim. "Stay behind me Helene..."

The dog snarled with its infectious drool flowing down its mouth and dashed at the teen boy, but it got hammered by one shot of the Remington shotgun. Josh reloaded the shotgun with its pump again and strapped it on his back.

"Screw this shit!" Josh said agitated and took off running.

"Josh! Wait!" Helene ran after the boy. The two ran past a door that they had no idea what it would lead into and out another door at the end of the hall. "What's wrong with you?" Helene asked.

Josh grumbled slightly.

"Sorry. I thought I should check something out before heading out of here. This place is just getting on my damn nerves!" Josh said angrily. He continued off to a staircase and went up with Helene following, wondering what was so important in a haunted police department. As they arrived up, they ran into three zombies coming their way moaning for flesh. "Sorry, but not this after life!" Josh killed one of the zombies with his Remington and continued with his USP and Helene assisting with her SOCOM.

The two teens continued forward quietly without even saying a word. Helene was surprised by Josh's sudden change of personality. The teens came to yet another door and went through it. They were once again in a hallway, but this was gray and windowless and no zombies were walking around. They noticed another wooden door on the side with a sign that read: 'S.T.A.R.S office' on the side.

"Hmm. This should be interesting..." Josh went through the door and Helene followed. They came to a small room with desks and boxes. Josh's first reaction was to check the opened cardboard boxes with a small packet of bullets in it. He then tossed them over to Helene. "You could really use some..." Josh then went to a gray locker and found something else. "Hey Helene. Come over here. There's something that you could possibly use."

"What is it?" Helene walked over to Josh.

"This." Josh handed Helene a bow gun and a small pack of bolts. "It's a bow gun. Lightweight and easy to use."

"You're giving it to me? It almost seemed you only wanted weapons." Helene said.

"Nah, I'm not a big fan of bows, but it could suit ya. Only thing useful for me is this box of shells." Josh said as he put a few shotgun shells in his emptier pockets and put the rest of them in his back pack, but he suddenly noticed his cell phone in the bag. "Yes! I can call for help!" Josh, now full of joy searched his dad's number and called. He only heard six beeps until his smile went upside down. "Shit! He's probably at work late again..." Josh then noticed the radio on the side of the locker and he tried it. All he got was static... "Oh for the love of fucking shit!"

"So there's no way to call for help?" Helene asked dispirited.

"No... Let's hope my dad sees the call on his cell when he's done briefing soldiers. I'm gonna go look around some more. Ya comin'"

"There's no way I'm staying here Josh. Lets go together." Helene said.

The two teens left the room and continued down the hall and came yet to another door, only it was locked. A distinguishing fact was that it had a keyhole shaped like a spade.

"Well guess its back to the S.T.A.R.S room to wait." Josh said and turned back.

"Wait! I can probably fit through that went up there. I'll see if I can unlock the door from inside." Helene volunteered and climbed up into the went with no need for help from Josh. Helene jumped down and was in a small room with a vending machine, a couch and a small hallway to the left. As she turned to unlock the door, she was distracted by a hissing noise. She carefully looked around until she noticed spit falling on the floor. She then looked up to see one of the most horrible things imaginable. A human sized creature hanging on the roof upside down with a pinkish, nearly skinless body, huge, razor-sharp looking claws, its brain showing and had a long tongue hanging from its mouth which had rows of razor-sharp looking teeth. The thing hissed as it seemed to sense her. Helene screamed and frantically tried to unlock the door, but no use, it needed the key. Helene pressed herself next to the wall as she looked at the creature advancing towards her. The thing screeched and jumped down on the floor.

Josh heard Helene scream another time and he was now a hundred percent worried.

"Helene? Helene? What's going on? Helene?" Josh pounded on the door, but no answer. "Oh no... It's all my fault... God Dammit she's dead!" Josh banged on the door with his fist, but like it would do anything. "I... I'm outta here! I'm sorry Helene! I couldn't protect you!" Josh was now really afraid of all the demise going around so he quickly unstrapped his shotgun and ran out of the hall and into the hall with the staircase, but right when he was going for the stairs, he met a horror more gruesome than the zombies or the dogs. Josh took a few steps back from this gruesome being. It seemed to be a brown haired scientist with his right arm grown extra large with a large, red eyeball staring right at him. The monster had really huge, bone claws with blood dripping from the, getting the idea it had massacred several people tonight. The monster roared with an inhuman voice and advanced towards Josh, who was shivering. As the creature slashed at him, Josh ducked just in time and ran to the left towards the statue, trying to make a plan to fight the monster.

"Ok. Don't panic Josh... It's a slow, huge armed freak with fucking claws that can splice my head open in an instant. Well, guess it's time to meet my fate. Do I die or live? I'm counting on ya Remington." Josh peeked to see the monster advancing towards him, roaring again as if outraged. Josh opened fire with his Remington and fired another burst of shots at the monster that was affected as it roared from obvious pain and swung its arm with the claws, knocking the statue between itslef and Josh, but Josh was still far enough from the creature and fired again, this time hitting its heart area. The creature growled again as it thrust its claws that got stuck in the wall. Josh got a quick glance of a tag on the torn lab coat on the monster that read: 'William Birkin' and 'Umbrella Inc.' "Sorry mister Birkin, but this is for your own good..." Josh fired another shot into the creatures heart, making it topple on the ground still roaring. Josh took another shot to make sure the thing was dead. "See ya, don't wanna be ya!" Josh ran down stairs, but got curious about a door he didn't notice before, that was next to the staircase. He went in to find only a small box of bullets from an open drawer and a notepad on the table. He ignored it and got out, not wanting anymore surprises.

Josh then headed for a white door he also didn't notice that was on the end of a hall. He prayed it would be unlocked and that there were no more freaks waiting for him inside. His first prayer was heard as the door opened, and his second prayer was also partly answered as there were only zombie corps laying on the floor. He checked through the green shelves to find most of them unlocked, but found a few shots and a combat knife, but he already had a crowbar, so he decided to put the knife into his backpack just in case. He then looked to see one of the zombie's eyes pointed straight at him, so he fired one shot from his USP and the zombie moaned as it fell dead for good. Josh then went through another door in the room, but noticed it was the room he and Helene entered before seeing that huge zombie with the rocket launcher. He shuddered at the thought of seeing it and took off running right through the office and into the main hall. He then went outside through its rough oak doors, back into the zombie infested streets. Next unfortunate setback was the dead man lying on the ground had risen up as a zombie, but Josh thought it wouldn't do any good to waste his ammo, so he took off running out through the main gates.

He arrived out in the streets, to find them a mess with shattered glass on the floor, a fire hydrant knocked off from the ground and the water spewing out, broken crashed cars on the sides of the street with a few zombies trying to break out of them. Josh ignored them and headed left to luckily spot a red, metallic door that was hung open. He entered with his USP pointed in front to make sure he was ready to fight anything that came at him. As he turned around the corner, he saw a dead man with a green uniform with a red and white umbrella marking on his left sleeve. He had a bullet hole on his head, so he got the idea he shot himself.

"So many people, dying for no reason. I'll be glad this is over." Josh said. He continued on, but noticed a flock of crows sitting on the side of a building's roof. He got a strange feeling those animals were as crazy as the dogs, so he made a run for it. The crows took off flying straight at him. The teen boy ran quicker and went through a barred door and closed it behind him, seeing some of the crows still trying to come after him. He came to a junked up street with a few zombies slouching towards him, but he learned not to fear those rotting freaks and grabbed his USP, shooting at anything rotting. He wasn't worried about bullets since he still had plenty of clips, a crowbar for close combat and his new Remington. He of coarse was afraid deep down inside, now since Helene was obviously dead. He could never forgive this as he kept thinking it was his fault the girl died.

"Hmm. Where to go..." Josh looked carefully right and left to decide which way to go. Both roads came to a stop, but he could go inside a restaurant in the left, while it could be full of more freaks, while he could climb over the wreckage on the right. "Screw it. Right seems better anyway." Josh cautiously walked right, but noticed another soldier being mauled by a zombie dog. Josh opened fire with his USP, killing the dog, but his clip went emptied. As he was reaching for another clip, two more dogs ran through the wreckage with the taste for Josh's flesh. Josh managed to just put in the clip as one of the dogs nearly bit him on his leg, but he dodged and brought a nasty kick into the dogs jaw and shot four bullets into the other dog that was also really close, but it fell from the USP's shots, the other dog he had kicked was still growling at him as it snarled to grab Josh's foot, but Josh shot the thing in the eye, but it was more than able to pierce the brain as the dog fell dead on the floor. "Down boy..." Josh said angrily.

Josh was then climbing up the wreckage to hear a door being bust open. He tried to ignore as he made it on top of the wreckage, but then heard someone yelling.

"Get back! Stay away from me you rotting freaks!" A young soldier ran the same direction as Josh with a huge pack of zombies following him. The man opened fire with something that seemed like an M4A1 assault rifle. The man was so scared his aiming was off as a few zombies fell, but most of them kept coming moaning for meat.

"Up here! Get up here!" Josh yelled over to the soldier.

The man ran away, but right then he was ambushed by the soldier that was recently dog food. The soldier zombie bit him on the leg, causing him to yell in pain as he shot the zombie on the head, but it had already made an unbearable wound on the soldier's leg. The man was slowly crawling towards the wreckage Josh was on, but the zombie pack caught him and started tearing away at his flesh. The man screamed as the whole pack was on top of him and Josh could only watch in horror with the man being slowly devoured.

The zombies that had now eaten most of the soldier then sensed Josh and wanted his meat next. The pack started to try and climb up the low wreckage and one of them was close to reaching Josh's foot, but Josh stepped back.

"There's no satisfying you ass holes, is there?" Josh seemed to be asking from the zombies and then ran away on the wreckage and jumped down into another street. He looked around to notice several zombies around, so he holstered his USP and grabbed his Remington. "I must survive this nightmare. I've got people waiting for me and I'm going to get to them..."

Is Helene really dead? Will Josh make it out of Raccoon city alive? Find out later when the story continues...
