Chapter 10

TREATMENT PLANT, THIRD PERSON'S POV

Billy, Rebecca and (Y/N) were currently in the Water Pool Room, and (Y/N) suddenly noticed something that was across the ledge from them.

"Hey, look... there's something over there, maybe we can use it?" (Y/N) said to Billy and Rebecca as she pointed to the Handle.

"Damn it, how do we get it?" Billy said as he looked around, (Y/N) walked to the ledge and looked down into the empty and dry Pool, and saw several boxes that seemed to be left around, (Y/N) then looked up and nodded to herself.

"I have an idea, Billy follow me" (Y/N) said as she found a ladder and climbed down into the empty pool, Billy looked at Rebecca who shrugged at him, before he climbed down after the (H/C) haired S.T.A.R.S. Member, and saw her looking at a heavy Metal crate.

"Here, give me a hand with this" (Y/N) said as she walked to the box and Billy joined her, they then pushed the box against the wall close to where the handle was sitting, then (Y/N) climbed up onto the box and went to reach for the handle, only for it to be just out of reach!

"Ugh... damn, I'm so close! Billy, can you boost me up?" (Y/N) asked him as she made room for him to climb up as well, Billy got up and knelt down with his hands locked together, (Y/N) set her foot into them and Billy boosts her up, she reached out and managed to grab the Handle.

"Got it!" (Y/N) said as Billy set her down on the box again and they quickly climbed back up the ladder, rejoining Rebecca, (Y/N) then put the handle away in her backpack and they started to search around, going back the way Rebecca came from and soon reaching an L-shaped Corridor, but then, Rebecca stopped them.

"Hold on, there was a Leech-man here when I rushed through to find you both, I think it might still be there" Rebecca warned her two companions, (Y/N) nodded and took out her Shotgun and Billy took out his Hunting Shotgun, then they went through the door and saw the mass of Leeches in Humanoid form quickly rushing towards them.

(Y/N) and Billy readied their weapons and fired at the collection of Leeches, blowing them apart with repeated shots from their Shotguns before they took too much damage and burst apart, the surviving Leeches quickly slithered away into the darkness.

"I think we're getting better at this" (Y/N) said as she smiled at Billy and Rebecca, Rebecca smiling back and giving a thumbs up, while Billy nodded back to her, they then saw a door that had a slot in it and tried the Handle they found, Billy used his strength to screw the handle back into the rusted Metal door, the Metal squeaking in protest as Billy turned it, and unlocked the door for the three of them to go inside.

"Holy shit!" Billy exclaimed as he, (Y/N) and Rebecca were quickly met by more Zombies, these were naked, their bodies heavily necrotised, long stitched wounds on their bodies and their faces were rotted to the point the lips and nose were gone, and the eyes were sunken in!

Two of them were hunched over a dead body, eating the flesh from the corpse when they turned their attention to the intruders, they let out groans of hunger as they stood up and walked towards the three, then (Y/N) saw three more shambling towards them from the other side too.

"We've got five of them, let's do this!" (Y/N) said as she drew her Handgun and fired at one of the Zombies, hitting it in the head and making it flinch back, Rebecca and Billy quickly pulled their own guns and started shooting, soon enough the Zombies were all dead, their bodies twitching slightly as they laid on the ground, until (Y/N) noticed a box of Handgun ammo laying close to the corpse that was being eaten earlier, (Y/N) walked towards it before she looked at the dead body.

"Better safe than sorry" (Y/N) said as she pulled out her Shotgun and blasted the Corpse's head point blank, destroying the skull and killing the inactive Zombie, before she picked up the Handgun Ammo and rejoined Rebecca and Billy before they checked around the room more, finding another door, and a ladder going up.

"I'll go up and check it out, be back in a jiffy" Rebecca said as she climbed up the Ladder, leaving (Y/N) and Billy to wait for them, Rebecca climbed up and reached the upper floor.

REBECCA'S POV

I reached the top of the ladder and pulled myself up, before I looked around the floor to see if there were any more enemies lurking around, I only saw a single Zombie, I quickly took aim and shot it three times in the head, killing it.

"How many of these things are there?" I asked myself as I started to search around for anything useful, I managed to find two more Green Herbs, I was getting plenty of them now, so I would be ready in case anyone was hurt again.

I then saw another dead body close by, holding some papers, I walked over slowly, keeping my gun aimed at the head, just in case... but it didn't move, so I nudged it with my boot, still no response... then I knelt down and took the papers, it looked like another Report of some kind.

We should have finished with this dump long ago. When all this started, did anyone expect that there would be guns blazing away like this?

We weren't told a thing about these creatures attacking us at the briefing...

Guess they were a surprise to the head honchos too. The things in the woods - just starting to attack people. That had to be planned. Someone deliberately scattered that virus, no doubt about it.

But the guards, our fellow soldiers, they still must be around...

Well, whatever.

Don't have to worry about that anymore.

What I've got to worry about is whether to use my last bullet on myself, or on a friend...

That's the only decision I have to make.

"Oh... this poor man, I guess, he decided to use that last bullet on himself" I said as I looked at the dead body closely, a singly gunshot to the head, quick and painless at least... I sighed and stood back up, I filled up a container with Red Chemical before going back down to (Y/N) and Billy.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Rebecca climbed back down the ladder and explained what she saw, before the three of them went to the other door in the room and went through, only to run into a pair if Hunters, which they quickly took care of before hurrying on ahead to Lodgings in the Treatment Plant.

When the three of them entered the room, they found a dead body on one of the bottom bunk beds, which made the room stink of rotting flesh and decay, Billy, (Y/N) and Rebecca then split up to check around for anything useful in the room.

They managed to find a Red and Green Herb, a First-Aid Spray, six Napalm Grenades and a box of Handgun Ammo, they also found another note that was sat on another of the beds.

Battery Fluid

The fluid used in batteries is a diluted solution of mixed water and sulfuric acid.

Both must be of a high purity.

When fully charged, battery fluid should have a specific gravity of 1.280+-0.010 at 20 degrees C.

Battery Acid Purity

Take care that the dilute sulfuric acid solution is of a sufficient purity.

The three then left the Lodgings behind and moved on through the Purification Room, but they moved quickly die to the presence of a group of Leeches that they stepped on and squished as they ran through, they soon arrived in the Cargo Control Room, where they encounters three more Zombies, which they quickly killed, after that they searched around, and (Y/N) managed to find a note left by Treatment Plant Manager.

5/10

Damn it! Why is normal industrial waste being delivered here? This is an Umbrella Corporation facility. We can't deal with this volume of material. Plus, they're sending us contaminated materials that we can't process. What are we supposed to do with it?

7/24

Well, looks like they're closing it down. Not surprising, using it like they did. Had to be done, but... It was pretty sudden. It's not like they cared until now. Anyway, as long as I get out of here, I don't care what they do.

(Y/N) pocketed the note in her backpack and followed Rebecca and Billy to a small lift, which they all got onto and went down into the Water Treatment Room, the three of them walked on ahead to search around the room for any more ammo or useful items when...

clank

The trio stopped when they heard that sound behind them.

(Why does it feel like something really dangerous just appeared...?) (Y/N) thought to herself as she took a deep breath and turned back around, only for her to gasp and go wide eyed at what she saw, Rebecca and Billy turned around and looked as well.

Only to see a very familiar Monster pull itself up out of the water, it was the giant infected Monster that Rebecca and (Y/N) had fought before! It had somehow come back and was after them again!

"What the hell...? What is that thing?" Billy said in surprise as the Monstrous Creature's feel planted on the metal walkway, water pooling under it's feet as it ran down it's muscular, necrotised legs.

"No! It can't be, how it it still alive?!" Rebecca exclaimed in shock and fear, as the Monstrosity let out a deep growl, as it's body convulsed and twitched.

"Looks like it's tougher than we thought, we've got no choice but to kill it for good this time!" (Y/N) said as she reached into her backpack and pulled out the Magnum, taking aim at the Monster's exposed heart and firing.

The Monster flinched and let out a lour roar as it covered it's exposed heart with it's more normal hand, Billy and Rebecca quickly pulled their guns and started to help out with the fight, Billy using his Hunting Shotgun and Rebecca her Handgun with the Custom Parts attached, the three of them then all started shooting at it together and causing a great deal of damage, but (Y/N) was soon down to her last Magnum Round.

However suddenly the Proto-Tyrant jumped at them! Billy saw it and ran to the side, but Rebecca froze as the long, sharp bone spike swung towards her, (Y/N) saw this and panicked, that thing might cut the Rookie S.T.A.R.S. Member in half!

"Rebecca, MOVE!" (Y/N) called out to her fellow S.T.A.R.S. Member as she ran towards her partner, running on adrenaline as she reached her partner and pushed her down, Rebecca seemed to snap out of her state and her eyes widened in shock as they both fell to the metal walkway, the bone spike just barely whistling over (Y/N)'s back!

Rebecca grunted from her back hitting the metal walkway with (Y/N) on top of her, (Y/N) quickly turned and aimed her Magnum up toward the Proto-Tyrant's heart and pulled the trigger, shooting the Monstrous Creature and making it roar and collapsed to the floor, the Creature then tried to stand back up but then collapsed again, seeming to be dead a second time.

(Y/N) relaxed as the Tyrant dropped, she then looked down and realised her position, (Y/N) quickly got herself up and off of her partner, feeling bad for pushing her down and landing right on top of her and in such an awkward position.

"Sorry about that Rebecca, are you alright?" (Y/N) asked her as she offered Rebecca a hand up off the floor, Rebecca nodded back and took (Y/N)'s hand, (Y/N) then pulled the eighteen year old girl back up to her feet and smiled at her, before they saw Billy kick the Creature's body.

"You said you two faced this thing before?" Billy asked as he prodded it with his Hunting Shotgun, but looked ready to fire or jump back it it tried to attack.

"Yeah... when we were coming after you, it was just before we reached you when you were in the water" Rebecca said as she didn't take her eyes off of the Monster that laid dormant in the metal floor.

"Well, hopefully it's dead for good this time" Billy said as he looked up to the two girls, giving them both a reassuring look, but (Y/N) didn't look convinced by it.

"Just in case... I think we ought to get far away from this thing" (Y/N) replied, before she hurriedly walked ahead, Rebecca nodded and followed her along with Billy, they soon reached a dead end, but Rebecca saw a button on the wall, which she pressed causing a ladder to slowly fold down and secure into place.

"I'll go up and check it out, you two wait down here" (Y/N) said as she climbed up the ladder, Billy and Rebecca nodded and then looked back in the direction of the dead Proto-Tyrant, keeping their eyes on it just in case it got back up and attacked them again.

(Y/N) quickly reached the top of the ladder and looked around the walkway, until she found something on the ground close to some machinery, she picked it up and looked at it curiously, it seems she found a Motherboard, maybe it will be useful in some way?

(Y/N) quickly climbed back down and they then went through the only door that was in the room, when they went through they were quickly met with the sound of roaring water, and they walked ahead and saw water rushing over the top of the Dam.

"That water looks strong, I don't think we'd be able to cross" Billy said, not looking too eager to get back into the water after he was almost drowned earlier, Rebecca and (Y/N) both agreed that they had to find a way to open the floodgates and clear the water.

"Oh by the way, I managed to find this in the upper floor" (Y/N) said before she showed her companions the Motherboard she had found, Billy had an idea what it could be for and they hurried back to the lift, which they took up to the Cargo Control Room, Billy took the Motherboard and installed it into a console, restoring power to a gondola, the machine worked and arrived, it was a small metal crate attached to a small crane by wires.

"Looks like someone will have to go across with this, and only one person can fit" (Y/N) said as she looked at her two companions, her eyes going to Rebecca, since she was smaller and lighter it made the most sense to send her across.

"Alright, I'll go" Rebecca said as she picked up the hint from her partner, as she was going to go however, (Y/N) stopped her and offered Rebecca the Shotgun.

"Here, let's swap, I'll take the Grenade Launcher while you take this, okay?" (Y/N) said to her, Rebecca was a little confused but obliged, she and (Y/N) swapped the Weapons and Ammo, before Rebecca climbed into the metal box and closed the door, Billy then sent the gondola across.

REBECCA'S POV

I stayed as still as I could in the small, dark confines of this metal box, my hands pressed to the sides so I didn't fall, the Shotgun the (Y/N) gave to me laying on the floor, I felt a bit nervous as the crate was swaying slightly, after what felt like a long time I felt the box stop moving, I carefully opened the door and saw that, thankfully, I was on the other side.

"Thank God... that wasn't a pleasant experience" I said to myself as I picked up the Shotgun and climbed out of the box, feeling relieved to be on solid ground, I then took out my Radio and contacted (Y/N) and Billy, so they knew I was safe on the other end.

After that I started to check around the room, and found three Acid Grenades for the Grenade Launcher, which I picked up before I saw the lever that would control the Floodgate, I looked through the window and saw that because the Floodgate was closed water was rushing over the walkway to go further into the Treatment Plant, so I gripped the lever and slowly twisted it, opening the Floodgate.

After that I went to the only door in the room and opened it, as soon as I did I saw one of those large, Mutated Insects that we saw back at the Training Facility, I quickly started shooting it with the Shotgun, killing it with three blasts, before I checked around the room now that it was clear, and I managed to find four more Acid Grenades, and also a container full of Water.

After that I went down the steps, only to find some tanks that were full of some kind of fluid, and floating inside of these tanks were more of those large Bugs, I slowly walked to the door and tried it but, it was locked.

"Damn it..." I cursed when I looked back towards the steps and saw something sat on a very high shelf, unfortunately I couldn't reach it and had nothing to reach it with, I'll need Billy and (Y/N) here so we can get whatever it was on the shelf.

"(Y/N), Billy, this is Rebecca, come in, over?" I said as I used the Radio to contact (Y/N) and Billy, since the water was gone maybe they could cross over and unlock this door?

(Y/N)'S POV

I was stood with Billy waiting in the Cargo Control Room, checking over my ammo and other supplies, I certainly had enough Herbs and a First Aid Kit too, I had fifty-three Handgun Bullets, and I had plenty Grenades of different kinds, though... I sighed as I saw the empty Magnum.

"Well... it was fun while it lasted, this was such a good gun" I muttered to myself in annoyance, I placed the Magnum back into my Backpack, along with my supplies and the Notes and Documents I found, keeping out my Handgun.

"You seem like you enjoy using that gun" Billy said to me, I looked up at him and he was smirking down at me with a raised brow, it's such a shame that he was going to have to be on the run for now because of this assholes from his unit, he was a good guy.

"Yeah, I've always wanted to use one, Barry let me check out his one but I couldn't shoot it because he was worried the recoil would hurt me, apparently it's pretty powerful" I replied to him remembering those times with Barry, he always acted a bit like an overprotective dad, probably because of his two daughters that he had back home.

"He sounds like a good guy, your lucky to have such a good team with you" Billy said as he seemed to go into thought about something, with a frown on his face, I guessed it must be about his Unit and his circumstances again, I stood up and frowned at how depressed Billy seemed.

"Billy..." I said, as I tried to think on the right thing to say to hopefully help him feel better, when my Radio beeped, Rebecca must have found something useful on her end, I took out the Radio and held down the button to hear what she has to say.

"(Y/N), Billy, this is Rebecca, come in, over?" she said over the Radio, I heard her say before I pressed the talk button to reply to her.

"Rebecca, it's me, what have you found?" I asked her curiously, and also hoping it could speed up the way out of this place.

"I've managed to open the floodgates for the Dam, the water should have gone down now so you and Billy can come across to the other side, I also found something over here, but I can't reach it" Rebecca said over the Radio, I smiled at the news feeling glad that we could continue onward.

"Alright, Billy and I will be there in a little bit, just wait for us, alright?" I replied to her over the Radio, after that I clipped the Radio back onto my belt and turned to Billy.

"Rebecca managed to clear the way, let's go and meet up with her" I said to Billy, he nodded back and we made out way back to the lift and took it back down to the Water Treatment Room, we made out way to the door when I noticed it, that a certain something was... missing.

"Um... where did that thing's body go?" Billy asked as he walked ahead, there was blood on the floor from where it fell and I saw footprints moving away.

"Damn... it must have revived again, we had best hurry, in case Rebecca runs into it alone!" I said with worry very clear in my voice, this was bad, if that large thing was up and about again, it could attack us again at any time!

Billy and I went through the door to the top of the Dam and ran along the path and climbed down a ladder before we hurried across the top of the Dam, when I heard a Splash behind us, I glanced back and saw another of those damn Frogs!

"Oh hell no, eat this!" I said as I fired a Grenade from the Grenade Launcher right at the Creature, it exploded and blasted the giant Amphibian's face apart and it's body slumped down dead on the dam, it's blood leaking onto the concrete and into the water.

"Nice shot" Billy said as he climbed up the short ladder, I nodded back and followed him up, the two of us went through another door, the room we entered had a working Engine in it, most likely working some of the equipment in this place.

Billy and I saw a door close by and hurried over to it, as we did however, I heard the groans of Zombies, I looked over and saw two of them staggering around, I heard Billy unlock the door and decided to deal with the Zombies later, after we reunite with Rebecca and get whatever it was on that high shelf.

"Rebecca, we've got an-woah!" I said as I walked through the door, only to stop as I saw two large tanks that had two of those Mutated Insects floating inside of them, but after I saw that they seemed to be inactive I chose to ignore than and talk to Rebecca.

"Rebecca, we have a problem, that thing that attacked us in the Water Treatment Room... it's body was gone when Billy and I came back here!" I told her with slight worry in my voice and eyes, I saw her eyes widen in surprised and worry too.

"Oh no! We have to hurry and get out of here, before it attacks us again" Rebecca said worriedly, I then noticed the thing that was on that high up shelf, it seems like it was some kind of Battery.

"Billy, could you please give me a boost to grab that Battery up there?" Rebecca asked him, I saw Billy nod and go over to do as she asked him, he interlocked his fingers and allowed her to step into his hands as he lifted her up, Rebecca's other foot stepping on Billy's shoulder as she reached out and took the Battery, before she jumped back down.

"Alright, now let's-" I started to say, before I heard the rather terrible sound of glass smashing, I spun around just in time to see one of those Mutated Insects jump right at me!
