Chrisker One-Shots

Before You Die

Summary:

As if things couldn't get any crazier with zombies and creatures rooming around what seemed to be an abandoned mansion, there were catacombs beneath the building holding dark secrets and monsters. And if that wasn't enough for Chris, his former Captain was going to make his nightmare more real.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stairs leading down looked damp and deteriorated as if they had been there for a million years. He pushed the gates open after placing in both Umbrella medallions into the appropriate indents on the gate itself and it granting him access. Descending the stairs, Chris looked around at his surroundings. The walls were yellow from age and the lights were flickering from bad connections. Insects crawled in and out of their nests and water dripped from cracks in the ceiling.

Turning the corner, the room's design changed into the walls of an underground cave, as if someone had dug it out. The concrete floor became long blanks of wood held up by support beams that went from one side of the cave to the other. The room was rather narrow and if any of these planks snapped, he'd probably fall to his death. He couldn't see the bottom, but he was sure if he did fall, it'd be there at some point.

"Who dug this thing?" He murmured to himself as he descended in to the cave. Small flickering candles lit his path as a small draft breezed around him. More water was leaking from the cracks, splashing on the walls as they dripped down.

At the end was a rotting wooden door. How someone managed to build this he wasn't sure, but it had to be for something important, or bad. He didn't want to waste time pondering on the logic of the structure and creation of the place; he just hoped it would lead to some kind of exit or to some of his team mates.

The next room was back to solid rock underneath his feet; made the marksman feel somewhat more at easy than running over bottomless-looking pits. He stalked forward and approached the ladder in the room As he got closer, he heard the sounds of gunshots echoing up from below.

'Someone's down there...'

Grabbing the top bars on the ladder and placing his feet on the steal bars below, he started to descend the metal frame quickly until he was at the bottom. He noticed a familiar teammate stepping backwards as he continued to fire.

"You're a bit of a mess-up."

'Wesker...'

The S.T.A.R.S. captain started to reload his gun as he noticed Chris come off the ladder. He quickly fired a fresh clip into his handgun and started to fire again. "Chris!" he shouted to his comrade. "Take a piece of the action!"

Taking out his own handgun, Chris took aim at what Wesker was firing at. It was Lisa; the young girl who had been experimented on which all the papers and files have spoke about throughout the mansion. She had caused him a few troubles along the way, but he knew it wasn't her fault. It was the virus that ravaged her body and mutilated her humanity. It was Umbrella's twisted experiments that had cause this innocent girl to become this hideous creature.

He fire two shots after each other. The first one hit her in the left shoulder, the second puncturing a hole in her left cheek. Within seconds of them being shot, her body work quickly and regenerated the wounds back to flesh, healing her almost instantly. Chris has noticed this from the previous encounter; she was most probably invincible at this state. Nothing that him or the Captain fired on her seemed to slow her in her path.

As she let out a scream almost resembling a child trying to imitate the sound of a tiger, she jumped at them. Wesker ran forwards as Chris dived, just missing one of the tentacles that lashed about her body. As she landed, he scrambled to his feet and turned to face her, as she did him. He fired another shot as Wesker fired two. Still, she hardly flinched as the bullets just implanted into her dying body with no sign of discomfort.
