Bodies Stacked Twenty Foot High

[Jill Valentine]

"Grace? What the fuck are you doing in my station," Jill said, she already heard from Burton that Amy was in town but this was terrible timing for a meet up. Jill and Alpha team were moving up the stairs when gunfire came raining down from above, they took cover.

"Hey, we got anyone by the shower room," she said over the radio and her answer came a moment later as a shotgun blast hit the guys firing at them and one of them fell over the railing to the ground hitting hard.

"I got you Jill."

"Appreciated Rico, we're heading up, what's it look like," she asked.

"You just missed Bravo team but shits fubar," he called down to her, the four met up and they moved down the hall crossing over near the STARS office where they moved in and began gearing up.

"We're fighting some pseudo PMC group that are wearing Umbrella patches," Jill informed her Alpha team members. There were no familiar faces in the group, these guys were all new blood she trained from the ground up, one of them was related to former Bravo team leader Enrico Marini, his name was Rico, the one who aided her just moments ago.

"Any idea who they actually are," asked the other woman in the room who was lacing up her boots.

"No, they're decked out, did Bravo take all the rifles?"

"They left us a couple, figured they needed them for the fight," Rico said.

"All good, we just need a few point men, we'll scavenge MP5's off the bodies as we move, they're military grade," Jill said putting on her beret, one of the other Alpha members was strapping her vest for her, each of the members were helping one another like a well oiled machine, it was different than when Wesker ran the branch, she treated these guys like family.

"Alright, we good to go," Jill asked tossing a rifle to Rico, she was fine with the MP5 she had. The team nodded.

"Sitrep," Jill said over the radio.

"Cleared from the second floor offices, we're taking the great hall upper passage to the store room," came the reply, "cozy path for you."

"My hero," Jill replied and they moved out.

[¤Amy Grace¤]

"Came for a little visit, ended up getting shot at, this town is worse than Detroit," Amy replied over the radio and got scolded for making jokes which she smiled about. Amy opened the door to the great hall, there were bodies on the ground floor, mostly the PMC group and someone was moving above them firing at their own targets, she guessed she had them to thank.

"Fuckers locked the door to the East offices," Amy said, "you got a path around that?"

There wasn't much time to really get an answer out as the door on the second floor came open and several more PMC members came out and spotted them, Amy crossed quickly into cover and began firing back, "Tony, we need a second way to the East offices."

[«Wraith»]

He pressed his body against one of the marble pillars as to avoid the fire team fighting. "Probably through the font, eat stair well but that's probably heavily guarded right now." He called back to her and leaned out of cover to start opening fire on the fire team. Thank god for his marksman scores and also his mother's training. He took a few down before noticing a grenade in one of their hands. He aimed his rifle and squeezed off a round. There was a huge explosion which took out the group. "Either that or we go through that door we just came from."

[Jill Valentine]

Jill and her team moved through the second floor office up the stairs moving on the same path as Bravo team, they entered the great hall almost minutes after Bravo entered the East side, they were definitely on their heel and then came more gun fire from below.

"Rico, cover and lets cross," Jill said and Rico took point aiming down the irons of his rifle and began popping off controlled shots on the PMC soldiers in the great hall. That would aid Amy and Tony as Alpha team moved. Alpha got to the middle of the great hall and that's when Jill spotted Amy, "Sasha give them cover. Regroup when they are clear!"

Both Rico and Sasha were shooting down from above helping Amy and Tony now and Jill and the rest of Alpha moved on into the storage room. It was empty as they moved forward to the stairs, she could hear gunfire coming from the roof and from down the stairs, "split, give them help on the roof. Jo you're with me, we're going to get to Bravo."

She radio'd in, "hows it going down there?"

"Why does it always feel like I'm trapped inside a horror movie?"

"Least there's less zombies this time around," Jill replied.

"Don't jinx us."

[¤Amy Grace¤]

There was more shots fired from far above them on the group and then after the grenade went off she could hear the boots up there moving for the East side, she assumed those were on their side because they could have killed her and Tony at any moment.

"I'm down for a fight," Amy said looking at the front door, "what are you down for though? I'm gonna be honest, I'd like to get there as fast as possible so if the way back through the door is going to take twice as long then I'd like to avoid that."

[«Wraith»]

He shook his head giving a sigh, this wasn't really on his pay level. S.T.A.R.S. teams were here along with capt. Valentine so that was good at least. "Fuck it," He popped his mag and checked his rounds. "let's go out the front then and hit the east side entrance. I'll cover and you go." He laid out suppressing fire along with the other stars officers giving the pair of them a cleared path to hit the main exit of the building.

[Jill Valentine]

"Hey Jill," Rico came over the radio, "they're clear."

"Got it, head to the roof, me and Jo are heading down the stairs but it sounds like there's a hell of a gunfight going on on the roof."

"10-4."

Something then hit the building and over the radio Bravo team leader yelled out, "103, light it up! Valentine you're going to have to cross elsewhere they just took out the hall."

"Son of a bitch," Jill said, "think that elevator still works in the Chiefs office?"

"Wouldn't doubt it, Burton is always in the fucking parking garage smoking cigars," came a reply.

"Got it," Jill said and headed for the police chiefs office, she pushed it open and she and Jo headed for the back of the room where she pulled an obvious lever and opened the hidden door there and headed outside, she and Jo could see smoke coming from the building once they were outside moving to the elevator and could see several black trucks around the building at ground level.

[¤Amy Grace¤]

Amy moved for the door, crossed the scanner and went out the front. The front gates had been slammed with a truck and no one was there yet, she headed left and ran straight into people holding the stairs. Amy however was already reacting before they could raise their weapons and slammed out five shots rapidly dropping the PMCs holding the angle.

"C'mon," she said moving to the stairs when one of those pods flew through the air and slammed the side of the RPD, she heard the man on the radio yell 103 and she could hear several helicopters coming fast across the area. She moved down the stairs and the next area was set up like a killing zone, they were about to have to fight through a whole set up.

"Hope your gun skills are good," Amy said.

[«Wraith»]

Tony didn't have as fast of a reflex as her seeing as how she already picked off the gunmen near the stairs. He heard the call about the 103 over his radio too. This just kept getting better and better. "This doesn't make any sense. 103's shouldn't exist. What the hell?" He blurted out as he followed, he had his weapon throwing rounds down range towards their attackers location to keep them pinned behind whatever barricades might have been set up there.

[Jill Valentine]

"More of Umbrellas left overs," said the man over the radio, Valentine could hear the gunfire as the elevator went down.

"Hey, don't fucking die on me," Jill yelled over the radio.

"Kill me once, shame on them, kill me twice, shame on me."

"It's not funny, stay safe."

"You got it boss," he replied.

The elevator door opened, there were several offices safely in cover as she stepped out they began asking questions but Jill ignored them and moved into the garage, it was clear she headed toward the gun range knowing there was a way around all this from below. She was worried about Bravo team, a 103 wasn't easy work-

"103 down, we're moving down the fire escape now."

"Thank god," Jill said to herself.

[¤Amy Grace¤]

Amy moved between cover as Tony gave her suppressing fire, she popped up in one spot and took a shot leveling two in one shot then began laying down her own barrage of shots emptying the magazine as she did then ejected it and loaded a fresh one in.

"Persistent fucks," Amy yelled.

"103 down-" the radio was cutting in and out for her.

"Bravo teams a beast by the sound of it," Amy said to Tony, "who the fuck is this guy?"

There suddenly came gun fire from behind the people ahead of them from the fire escape as Bravo team moved down it, it definitely helped cutting down a good half of the people ahead of Amy and Tony as the team moved back into the building.

[«Wraith»]

"No idea, some new transfer from out of town." To be fair, with the exception of turning down the offer his first year after joining the force he didn't really have much interaction with S.T.A.R.S. He moved forwards while Amy gave suppressing fire, finding some cover and dropping his mag for a new one. "Are we clear or no?" He asked in the distance you could hear helicopters above them it sounded distinctly like two different ones. "What the hell?" He looked up just in time for the roar of a 130 mm minigun to rush through the air as it's bullets ripped through the other copter causing it to crash into the streets below causing a large explosion. "That's not one of ours!" He called out pointing out that there wasn't an insignia of the copter at all.

[Jill Valentine]

"Rooftop clear," came Rico over the radio, "we're going to start clearing out debris from that explosion and head your way."

"Got it," Jill replied, she was back in the hallways and moving for basement passage that was added beyond the interrogation room. It was added to save time getting around there, plus at some point a tyrant ripped through a wall down there and it just made sense to make it a doorway later on.

"We're heading up now, hows the situation," Jill asked.

"Hallway clear, they've got the doors barricaded from one side we're moving around the bathroom side now," came the mans reply.

"Got it, we're heading to the press office now."

[¤Amy Grace¤]

"Clear-"

Then came the roar of bullets and the helicopter crash, "holy shit. Who the fuck are these guys?"

Amy started moving around the barricades, she didn't want to take the chance to get torn apart by a helicopter as she came to the East entrance gate. The thing had been torched off its hinges by the PMC group. She followed behind the path of Bravo team, they were a good minute ahead but she was gaining on them as much as Jill was at this point.

She opened the door into the East entrance and looked around, the place was torn to shit by gunfire and there were multiple officers down, one of them was sitting up and had been quickly bandaged up.

"Hey, you good," Amy asked.

He gave her a small nod, "Redfield went that way."

"Red- what?"

"The door is barricaded, he took Bravo team around the side to the other door," the officer said and Amy narrowed her eyes.

"The fuck, did I just hear," she asked.

[«Wraith»]

"Yeah I heard it too, we'll figure that out later though." Redgrave said as he came up and looked out for her six as he was scanning the hallway they were in. "The hostages?" He asked the officer as he looked around. Just then there was the sound of a crash further down the hall out of eye shot before very loud caliber bullets could be heard being fired. "Looks like we've got more to add to this party."

---

"Objective is simple; find the captains of this PMC group and capture them. Alive if able, everyone else is a seek and destroy." His helmet synthesized his voice as he spoke, the bay doors of the helicopter opened up and a full unit dressed in full gear began repelling down, The copter then took off dropping the other half of the unit off to enter to the front before it went about destroying another helicopter before it could drop troops.

He dropped from the helicopter throwing out some sort of psychokinetic blast which caved in the roof and gave him an opening. He was decked out in a mix between BDU's and cybernetic armor Heavy gun fire was already on him but it all hit a shield. He went to work drawing out his anti tyrant guns akimbo style with Anti-b.o.w. rounds and started plunging them down range dropping a charging 103 as he made his way to the hostages taking out several PMC's along the way.

The unit that rushed in through the front door looking around and immediately engaging with any enemies they could get to, their shots were precise and they operated quickly moving through the area before noting they were friendly to the S.T.A.R.S. officers.
