After about ten minuets we made it to the final trail which looked bad from the start, there was a rack of weapons with ammo everywhere. Then I saw another M1911 near some ammo so I picked it up along with a combat knife with sheath. "Ah, welcome Hollis and friends" a voice said from nowhere "welcome to your last trail, the arena". "Another fight" Johnny said reaching for his sword. "Oh no, Johnny, you won't be fighting in this arena, nor will Brooke or Emily" the voice clarified "only Courtney and Hollis". "Are you ready" I asked Courtney. "As ready as I'll ever be I guess" she said hesitantly. "K, were ready" I told the voice. "Splendid, step through the door" the voice said as we walked through a big door into what looked like an ancient coliseum. "Well fuck" I said. "There are three rounds, each progressively harder than the last" the voice "first it's simple, you must kill three average raiders from Fallout". "I got this" I said as I hit them all in there heads, killing them instantly. "We'll that was easy" Courtney said in relief. "Don't get to comfy" the voice said "you still have round 2, a Tank from Left 4 Dead". "What's that" Courtney asked as the Tank rammed her into a wall. "COURTNEY" I yelled as I unloaded round after round into the tank, but with little effect. Then he turned his attention to me. "Oh shit" I said running for my shot gun that I set on the table. I was able to grab it, but the Tank rammed me into the wall. "Oh fuck" I said in pain while coughing up blood. "Hollis" Courtney said while gaining conciseness. Then the Tank picked me up and slammed me into the wall. "Ahh" I yelled in pain. He must of thought I was dead because he stopped attacking me and turned his attention to Courtney. I was able to use what little power I had left to stand up and yell "hey asshole". Then the Tank turned around to stair down the barrel of my M6. "Suck on this" I said like a badass as I blew his head off.
After my adrenalin depleted from my body I realized I was in serious pain. "FUCK" I said as I fell to the ground with my whole body feeling like a pancake.
"Courtney" I said crawling to her. "Well done" the voice said "there is a health station over there". I was able to crawl over to it and instantly felt like 100%. Then I ran over and picked up Courtney and got her to all of her energy to use the health station. "Wow, I feel so much better" she said as I hugged her for about a minute. "I hate to break up this lovely moment, but you still have one round to go" the voice reminded. "Oh ya, thats right" I said as I checked my gun for ammo and saw I was out for all but one shot gun shell. "Courtney, go grab a knife" I ordered while unsheathing my knife and held it Call of Duty style. "Ok" she said as she ran and grabbed a slanted combat knife and held it traditionally. "Now, commence with the final round" the voice said as a shipping container was dropped at the other end of the arena.
Once the crate opened I saw a scarred hand grab the side of the crate entrance, then a mini-gun from the other side. "Ladies and gentlemen, round three, from Resident Evil, Nemesis". Then Nemesis stepped out of the crate and looked around the arena then zoned in on Courtney and said the only word he has ever said "S.T.A.R.S". "Oh shit, Courtney, get down" I said as I grabbed her and pulled her behind a wall while he fired a couple hundred rounds from his mini-gun. "What is going on" she asked. "Nemesis has only one goal" I explained "kill all S.T.A.R.S members, and anyone that gets in his way"."Which means you to right?" she asked. "Yes, but I have an idea" I said "you distract him while I check his cage". "Why?" she asked. "He has a rocket launcher as well as a mini-gun" I explained "I am going to try to get the rocket launcher before he goes for it". "How do you know he will go for me" she asked. "If he has the chance he will go for a S.T.A.R.S member over anyone" I explained. "Ok, let's do this" she said with fake enthusiasm. I started to run towards the crate when Nemesis spotted me and almost shot at me when Courtney got his attention and hid.
I made it to the crate and found the case for the rocket launcher. I tried to pick up the rocket launcher, but I could only barely lift it I carried it out side of the crate and motioned Courtney to come and help me. "We only have one shot" I said as I aimed it at Nemesis. "3, 2, 1, FIRE" I yelled as I fired and hit Nemesis with the rocket. "Yes, we did it" I yelled as I gave Courtney a great big hug causing me to pick her up.
While we were celebrating our victory when Nemesis got up, because we made him transform into a deadlier version. "Uh, Hollis, he isn't dead yet" she said as she witnessed the transformation from Nemesis to Nemesis T-type. "Uh oh, wait but he is almost dead" I said as I threw my knife, piercing into his good eye. "Wait, how is he almost dead?" she asked as she ran for behind a wall. "He is more venerable with out his bulletproof jacket on, but his tentacles are longer and he gets faster and he will only fight hand to knife" I explained behind a wall the crate. "Ok" Courtney said as she ran up and stuck her knife in to his chest.
I knew he would only fight her and only her hand to knife. After a while he got both really hurt and really angry, so he back handed Courtney across the arena and went for his mini-gun. "Uh oh" I said while motioning to Courtney that she needed to run. "Courtney, we need to do a one, two punch" I said while running from the mini-gun bullets. "What's that" she asked while running as well. "I'll run up and knock him off balance, then I'll get on my hands and knees while you jump on my back and give him a round house kick" I said as I ran up to him and charged him, making him loose balance, then Courtney did a flying round house kick into Nemesis's face knocking him down. I got up and grbbed my shot gun and did exactly what I did to Jason and blew his head into a hundred tiny little pieces.
"Congratulations, you have won the arena" the voice said like he was upset "you will be brought back to the front where the door to the power plant will be open". Then all of a sudden we appeared in front of the open door. "Dude we saw everything" Johnny said patting my back. "Cool, now shall we get to the power plant now" I asked as I walked through the door and saw the plant was close, which means the end to all of this was also near.
