Raccoon City 1998

Chapter 5: Leaving the Station

Leon hurried back onto the Library and, steps into the dark hallway, leading him back to the library and ran back to the dark hallway leading back to the statue of the lady, still no way through.

So he walks towards the C4 that was tapped to the wall, he pulls out the detonator and puts in the battery and the detonator was aimed and ready, so he places it on the C4 and quickly steps away from the wall and behind the shelve at the end and braced himself as the C4 went off. Leon covers his ears from the blast and looks out, seeing a way was open.

He quickly ran through the gaping hole and towards the Lady statue and to the steps in front of the tile dials. He looks back in the notebook and flips back to the drawing of the Lady statue, seeing the unlocking combo he needed.

He looks back down at the tiles and he flips the first one to the head of the lady, the second tile flipped to the crossbow and the last tile was of a snake. Unlocking the hiding place of the Medallion, he steps towards the front of it and saw the medallion was missing. "What? How?" he mutters to himself, looking around the room.

A clanking draws his attention and saw the concealed woman was holding the medallion of the lady in her hand. His eyes remained on the metal as he relaxes. "I'm not gonna even ask how you did that." he jokes, she looks down at the Medallion in her hand, feeling that new warm feeling flickering in her chest again, but she conceals her... facial expression. "It was easy," she answers, pitching the metal in her hand then flicks her eyes back to him. "Catch," she answers tossing the Medallion to him.

Leon catches it with ease then looks back and saw the woman was gone again, he sighs. Unsatisfied that he didn't get the chance to have a proper conversation with her, he places the medallion in his pouch and hurries back down the hall, but a Licker appeared out of nowhere and lunges at him, Leon quickly dodges the Licker, reloading his shotgun and turns back to the Licker as it snarls and lunges for him again, he fired onto the Licker, hitting it in the brain, it flung back and writhes, whimpering in pain.

Leon cocks the gun and marches towards the Licker, aiming it right at his head and fired again, flicking back onto the ground. He takes it out and exhales to himself, he steps away from the Licker and immediately ran towards the door, leading into the dept. where he was supposed to begin his work as an officer.

Then steps into the Main Hall and ran towards the statue, he places the three Medallions in the slot and the statue changed it's position and revealed the hidden passageway. Leon exhales as he steps back, but he inhales, stepping forward and pushes the door open.

Once it was wide enough, he shines his light inside. "So it goes underground... huh," he mutters to himself then it clicks in his head, making him nod. "That's it, that's our way out." he states and turns away "Lieutenant Branagh! Marvin!" he calls out to him, but the Lieutenant was laying on the couch, gripping his bandaged wound, not know how much strength he has left. "It's time to go," Leon tells him, stepping up next to Marvin as he was looking paler than before.

But Marvin was asleep no he carefully reaches down to him, "Hey, Marvin." he said again, gently shaking him. Marvin jumps awake, growling to himself. Leon leans next to him as Marvin sat up. He can feel it... the virus inside him, eating away at what was left. Just like how she said.

I can sense the virus in you. Changing, molding, and killing you. And turning you into them.

He exhales shakenly to himself, knowing his time was almost up. "We need to get you to a hospital, right now," Leon tells him, snapping him from his thoughts and he looks away from him. "No, no, I... save yourself." he tells him, but Leon shook his head at him "Come on, I got you." he assures him, gripping his arm, but Marvin immediately jerks away from him, "No! GO!" he shouts at him, but looks away, feeling the last of his humanity in the palm of his hand. "Look, we can still make it out of here together, if you just gimme—" Leon tries to reason with him.
