Guess what... Back to the mansion...

Jill kicked open the door leading outside and tookk a deep breath of fresh air.

Chris frowned as he stepped out. "Great...nothing...and we never found out what happened to Barry, either..." It was then that a six foot figure grabbed him. "AH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!!" he cried out in fear, before hearing a familiar laugh.

Sue screamed when Chris yelled and ran back into Jotaru.

Becca glared at the man. "Jerk, the kid's been through a lot already."

The dark-haired man stumbled back, and grabbed onto the wall for balance. He looked ahead and laughed. "Holy Hell....it's BARRY!"

Barry set Chris back down, still laughing. "Whoo...nice lungs you got there Chris...maybe we should call you Screaming Chris..." He punched the younger man in the shoulder, grinning. Chris rubbed it, and glared.

"Where you been Barry?" Jill asked looking to see if the others were out yet.

Becca scooped up Sue and was trying to calm her.

Barry rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, after I went my way, I ended up finding a secret passage to the labs...just my luck that someone knocked me out, and locked me in a storeroom. I blew the lock off, and made it the far by myself. When I heard all that noise, I was going to head back to find everyone...what happened to Wesker?" The bearded man rubbed his chin, and had one eyebrow cocked at them.

Jill scowled. "Hopefully dead. Long story.." She said glancing at the girls. Sue was holding her cat close looking like she was about to pass out. "We should get her back to town..."

The sound of a chopper could be heard faintly.

Jotaru was still slowly making his way forward when he heard something...and FELT something. The others hadn't noticed it yet...but... "Guys...RUN!" he cried out, just as something swung at him, and sent him flying forward.

Sue yelped. Becca stumbled as Jotaru crashed into them.

"What the..." Jill turned. "Shit.."

Rubbing his head, he looked up and saw... "Okay, this is not good.." The Tyrant was standing over them, the heart slowly growing back. There wasn't a trace of blood. "Running is good...Becca...run..now," he managed to say before the Tyrant blurred forwards and rammed into him. The pair rocketed past the others before the monster hit the breaks, Jotaru's momentum carrying over the edge of the roof.

Becca scrambled to her feet. Sue yelped as her cat broke free.

"Fluffy!" She started after it.

Chris and Barry stared as the rookie sailed out of sight, probably to smash into the ground below in a dead heap.

"Shit.." Chris managed as the Tyrant turned to face them, its claw dragging along the ground as it blurred again. "MOVE!" he cried, pushing Barry aside, and crashing into Jill, knocking them out of the way.

Jill rolled drawing her gun. "Fuck... the brat's in the way."

The Tyrant lunged forwards, then caught Sue with its one normal hand, raising her high into the air, its face in a red slashed grin.

Sue whimpered. "Let go..." She begged struggling. It was clear she didn't have much fight left in her. Tears fell from her eyes. "Mr. Redfield! Ms Valentine... help!"

Tyrant shook her around, then threw her over the edge, sending her flying along the same arc as Jotaru.

She screamed as she tried to reach for the ledge.

"Sue!" Jill made a lunge for her.

Suddenly, a powerful hand caught her by the jacket, and a dark figure put her on its shoulders as it climbed back up to the helipad. It stepped onto the asphalt, and glared down the Tyrant.

Sue held on tightly still shivering.

Jill stopped. "Jotaru..."

Chris and Barry both blinked. The sunglasses had been lost, and the dark silver and black eyes locked onto the white ones of the Tyrant. He set Sue down, just as the Tyrant blurred forward again, claws dragging along the ground as they drew up, about to cut him into pieces....when Jotaru suddenly blurred to the side, skidding towards the center of the pad.

Sue stood still. Jill went to the girl and she turned into the older woman crying. Jill picked her up. Becca watched the fight moving slocer to Chris and Barry.

The chopper was above them now.

Then the Tyrant dashed forward again, Jotaru meeting it head on. The two slammed into each other, and slid back about five feet before doing it again, the impacts loud, and the sounds of breaking ribs filled the air.

Sue cringed at the noise.

Barry tried to get a bead, but the two were moving almost in perfect sync..one wrong move, and he hit the wrong one.

Then, after the smashed into each other a third time, the superbeast slashed upwards, tearing through clothing and flesh, a gout of black blood staining the roof. Jotaru fell back, then jumped over the Tyrant, grabbing it by the neck, and landing behind it, bending it backwards. It clawed at him, freeng more of the tainted blood as it struggled. Jotaru, going red in the face, looked up at the chopper. "VICKERS! YOU GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE, YOU USELESS FUCKING ASSHOLE!!" he screamed as loud as he could, feeling dizzy from the loss of blood, and the effort it took to keep the Tyrant in the headlock.

Fluffy pounced at them, biting the Tyrant's neck.

Vicker's landed the chopper on the far side of the pad, with the tyrant and Jotaru between them.

The Tyrant grabbed it with its good hand, and tossed it aside, using the distraction to stick its claws through Jotaru's chest, piercing his heart. The man's eyes went wide, and he fell to the ground.

"Asshole..." Jill muttered softly hoping the girl in her arms hadn't fainted.

Barry ran for the chopper, and Chris grabbed Fluffy, running as fast as he could. "Here!" he breathed, before snatching a shotgun from the chopper, and opening fire as he ran. The shell tore a chunk out of the Tyrant, who turned to face him.

Becca went for Jotaru. "Please be alive..."

Jotaru's body twitched, and he slowly rose, blood still dripping from him. "...Ow..." he muttered as he fell back again, the wounds healing, but not fast enough. Chris fired another shell, hitting Tyrant in the healing heart.

Jill made it to the chopper with Sue and strapped her in. "Vickers if she has nightmares I'm going to make your life hell got it."

"Perfectly ma'am.."

Chris continued shooting, the noise booming. Then the Tyrant blurred forwards again, its claws raking the pad and tearing it to shreds. Chris barely avoided it, the back of his vest and shirt shredded to pieces. He fired at its knee, making it fall to the ground. Then there was a rumble from below. Jotaru, using Rebecca, pulled himself up. "Self....destruct..." he whispered. "Get to the chopper....rocket launcher....blow the fucker to pieces..."

"Right." She helped him run across the pad. "Chris hurry!"

Chris blasted its other knee, and took off running. He jumped into the chopper, slamming into the other side with a loud thump noise. "Ow..." he commented before dropping the shotgun. As the last two made it over, the Tyrant rose again. By now, Jotaru had healed enough to move under his own steam, so he picked up Rebecca, and lightly tossed her inside, so she landed on Chris. "Ow..." Chris noted sourly. "Mind not sitting down there? It's a bit uncomfortable..."

"Sorry..." Becca moved off him. She glanced up to where Sue was curled up on the seat with Fluffy beside her.

Jotaru pulled out the sawed-off, and reloaded it. "Stupid ugly..." he muttered, waiting for it to move again, which it did, running as fast as it could. He waited for the last minute, then spun, slamming his boot into its head, then shooting it with the gun. "Where's that launcher?" he called out, firing again, then reloading.

Barry, picking up the heavy weapon, hopped back out, and took aim. Once more, he couldn't get a clear shot. Then Jotaru jumped behind the Tyrant, and trapped it in an armlock. "SHOOT!" Jotaru screamed. Barry tensed, then slowly nodded, and lowered the targeting reticle, locking in on the Tyrant's chest.

Jill watched. "Barry take the shot!"

Barry pressed the firing stud, and the HEAT rocket zoomed forward, flying towards the Tyrant, and Jotaru, who kept it in place. The artilery smacked it dead-center and exploded it into bloody chunks of meat...and also threw Jotaru back into a wall. He slid down, a thick trail of black blood left behind.

Becca looked. "We have to get him." She saw the roof crumbling. "Get us close..."

Jill shook her head. "He's gone.." She said tying to hold Becca so the younger woman wouldn't jump out of the chopper.

Barry ran back to the chopper, throwing the boxy weapon in first, then scrambling in as the explosions began reaching their level. Jotaru stood again, walking in a somewhat familar gait. Wounded, he was walking like the Tyrant, his own abilities more than an even match for the hulking monster. Slowly, he began to run, faster and faster, before he jumped with all his migh, soaring into the helicopter and slamming into the side so hard he dented the hell out if it before sliding off, and grabbing one of the skids.

Becca yelped.

Sue moaned slightly in her sleep. Tears fell from her closed eyes.

He pulled himself up, and fell inside, almost slipping back out before Chris caught his hand. "Help...would be good..." the sharpshooter wheezed as the drag began pulling them both out.

Jill reached over to help

Barry grabbed Chris by the legs, and braced him as they slowly pulled him back in. As Jotaru lay there, the chopper tilting from the wind, he said one word that summed up how he felt. "OW."

Jill closed the door. "How... How did you.... Nevermind... I don't think I want to know.." She said sitting on the seat next to the sleeping girl.

"Need...shades..." he closed his eyes. "And...to get this crap off of me..." he added, still laying there. "OW....I hurt all over....why?"

"Cause you were hit with a rocket." Becca pipped up.

"...And what else?" he moaned, rubbing his sore head.

Jill shook her head and glanced to Vickers in a way to tell the teen to shut up.

He slowly opened one eye. "...I did that...man, that hurt.." he commented as he saw the dent in the side of the chopper. "Ow...I need painkillers...lots of painkillers..." He pulled himself into a sitting postion, and took off his shirt, using it to clean the drying black blood from his face and chest. There were small puncture holes standing out on the hard-packed chest, holes that were slowly closing. He threw the useless rag aside. "Man, I hurt..."

Sue whimpered shivering. "Momma... Daddy...." She curled up tighter crying.

"What the hell happened? After I dropped you off I was called back... The other pilot went nuts and destroyed the other chopper..."

Chris was silently rubbing his shoulder, and the back of his head from where he had hit the chopper wall. Barry too was quiet, checking his equipment. Jotaru summmed it up easily. "Umbrella...Wesker...stupid fucking idiots.."

Shit... she said her parents both worked there... Means she doesn't have anyone now.. Jill thought as she covered the still sleeping girl with a blanket. "So what now?" She asked looking at the others. Becca was trying to patch everyone up.

Jotaru looked down, opening one eye halfway to make sure he was in one piece. "Well...right now, I can think of only one thing I want to do now in the world..."

"What's that?" Becca asked.

"Okay, TWO things...getting laid..."

Jill rolled her eyes. "Pervert."

"And ripping that bastard Irons' fucking head off and feeding it to the goddamned fish."

Chris and Barry, while smiling a bit at the first one, went grim when they heard that, and shared a glance.

Vickers looked back. Since they weren't supposed to get out of there... Keeping out of it. I don't want them to kill me too.

Becca looked to Sue. "Keep it down a little, This is probably the first chance she's had to really sleep in a while.."

Jotaru closed his eyes. "Need sleep...and water...and food..and a bath...and sex...not in any order, but sometime soon..." There was a slight grin on his face, and he looked over at Jill. "How DID you get that stupid nickname anyway?"

Jill went red. "None of your business. And you tell Chris I'll ask Alanyia to rip it off." She nodded to his crotch.

"Alanyia's wanted now. She attacked Irons and destroyed the other chopper. She might be an Umbrella spy."

Jotaru laughed. "It'd probably grow back, in my case..." He then went into a convuslive fit, his eyes rolling up into the back of his head.

Becca checked his pulse. "Shit.. We need to get to the hospital stat."

He twitched, his body still not fully recovered or adjusted to the changes forced on it, and grabbed Rebecca's wrist. "No...hospital..." he said through clenched teeth.

She yelped in pain. "Right.. ow..."

He kept the grip for another moment, then let her go. "Just...get us the hell out of here, Vickers...or I swear, in the next five minutes, I'm going to kick you in the goddamned BALLS!"

Vickers was already halfway back to the station. Shit, I was only to bring Wesker back... Instead I have everyone but him...

Jotaru was fighting to stay awake, the adrenaline gone, along with the painkilling endorphins. He twitched, and spasmed with pain... So much pain He thought, as he slid back to the floor.

Becca scrambled to see if there were any painkillers to give him

Chris remained silent, watching Brad closely. Something wasn't right about his story...something was really fishy about it...

Jill was watching him as well. She looked to Chris trying to figure out what he was thinking.

Jotaru twitched a few more times, then blacked out.

Vickers landed the chopper on the roof.

Sue stirred starting to wake.

Slowly, a black and silver eye opened. "Where are we now?" Jotaru's strangled voice asked, as he pulled himself up into a sitting position.

"The station." Jill said opening the door. She gently woke Sue. "Come on, time to get up okay?"

Sue yawned. "I'm up..." She said sleepily.

Jotaru made a strangled sound. "Great...my legs aren't working.." he sighed. "Anyone going to volunteer to help me?"

Becca opened the door and helped him up. "That better?"

Jotaru was still sagging slightly. "When I said they didn't work, I meant as in paralysis...I'm barely getting my left leg to work, and the right is useless...and I need shades, or something.." He gripped the ede of the chopper door, and pulled himself out, before falling against the warm roof. "Ow.."

Becca helped him up. "Chris Barry wanna help?"

Jill helped Sue get up and the girl got out of the chopper. She held her cat close.

"I'm hungry..."

Barry handed Chris the heavy weapons bag. "I'll help, you go get this stuff back in the office.." The burly man told Chris, who glared at him, and started draggging the heavy stuff out.

Jotaru smirked slightly. "Same here...hey, Jill, scootch over...I need some flesh.." He laughed, and opened his eyes, blinking away the glare.

"You can have Becca." Jill joked handing him glasses.

Sue stepped back away from Jotaru thinking he was serious.

Slipping them on, he cocked an eyebrow and did a Wesker. "I don't usually go after the underaged girls..is she even legal?" Then he managed to reach over, and snatch Jill's beret, messing her hair up.

"I can take her down to the cafe and get her something if the rest of you want to get cleaned up." Vickers said putting his hand on Sue's shoulder.

Chris continued to the office, cursing his luck all the while. Barry just shook his head, grinning like a moron. Yep..what a bunch of children...

"Hey! No way..." Becca glared at them.

Jotaru looked down at the Bravo, and did his glare of intimidation. "Are you giving me lip, soldier? Need I remind you that I am your superior...that, and we share the same desk..don't make tell everyone what you keep in there..." He snickered as he limped along the roof, dragging her with him.

Becca yelped. "Hey! I don't go looking through your magazines!"

Vickers ushered Sue off the roof as well.

Jill sighed following the others.

He grinned, and pulled her headband down over her eyes. "Suck it up, soldier! You have a duty..to carry my limp ass down to the office before I noogie you senseless."

"Okay okay!" She grumbled.

"Keep that up, and I'll make you clean me off too..." he grinned at her.

"I'll tell Irons your back." He turned to Sue. "Should we see if Elisa has some icecream in the kitchen?"

Barry chased after Chris, and took one of the bags. "Here, let me help you, you sissy boy.." the larger man grinned.

Jotaru looked down at Rebecca. "Aw...don't be such a grouse...I like it when you smile more..." He smiled, and fixed her headband.

She shoved him into a chair at their desk. "Fine. I'll smile after I finish patching you up."

"No need...all healed up...thirsty as Hell though..." He lifted the remains of the shirt, and revealing the perfectly normal-looking chest, the only thing noteable being the muscles and six-pack. "See? No more ouchies.."

"Okay okay.. Then go get in the showers. You stink." She said giggling.

He frowned at her. "You're no rose either, Chambers..." He pointed at her blood-stained uniform, and grinned. "Looks like someone got in a real mess.."

She nodded.
