Resident Evil: Operation CLEAN-UP

[Rayleonarde]

Ray took the rifle, with a nod of thanks. He turned and looked towards the horde, and was surprised when they roared, and started towards the two agents, faster than they were before.

Akim had at this point climbed back onto the slanted roof of a mostly intact house near a market. He layed down on the roof to sleep for a bit, completely visible from the street.

[Rayleonarde]

The infected, spotting Akim sleeping on a roof, seemed to split into two groups. One group of about twenty, crowded beneath the sleeping figure, waiting for him to fall.
The other group moved towards the agents, their speed increasing.


Ray taped Cyprus's shoulder. "Lead the way sir, a-and fast!"

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

"Alright." Cyprus swallowed, getting ready to run. "Keep close."
Taking off into a sprint, he managed to get past the slowly growing crowd of infected, and slowed down as he cleared them. Grabbing an explosive grenade from his vest, he pulled the pin and threw it into the closest half of the group. When the explosive went off, it floored the majority of the infected and stopped them from flooding into the only open passageway in the street. Looking back to Ray, he gestured for him to follow with haste, before moving off at a decent pace towards a nearby alley.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray rushed through the hole the grenade made in the horde, and barged through any stragglers that got in his way. He felt himself flagging, due to injuries sustained from the helicopter explosion earlier, but adrenaline kept him at pace with Cyprus.

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

Turning yet another corner into one last street, the sound of the horde dampened by the several blocks behind them, they were nearing the fountain. Only a couple more streets and they would be back with the rest of the squad.
One or two stray infected still meandered about the market street, but wouldn't be too much of a problem. Cyprus applied a right hook directly to an infected's temple as it wandered in his way, dropping the infected to the road.
"We're close." Cyprus commented, looking at a memorable building from the town square over the terraced shops. "I'll radio ahead, let 'em know we're close."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray nodded, and for the first time since he deployed looked relieved.

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

Walking at a more manageable pace, Cyprus clutched his radio and pulled it a little closer to his mouth.
"Team, we're little more than a mike out. Keep on your toes." he stated. "We'll be back before long."
After an affirmative reply, Cyprus turned back to Ray, nodding his head in the direction they were heading, before picking up the pace a little.
Before long, the pair emerged from an alley into the large town square, and the odd dozen soldiers around the fountain all turned to face them as they approached.
"How long until evac is here?"
"Ten minutes." a soldier replied, stepping forward. "We've managed to secure air evac, and it's heading here now."
"Good." Cyprus nodded. Making a particular hand gesture, he spoke to all of his agents. "Everyone spread out and keep the area secure. Don't leave the town center, but keep the nearby streets clear."

[Rayleonarde]

Suddenly, a bellow tore the air asunder. The creature from before came charging into the city, looking for revenge.

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

"Shit!" Cyprus hissed, ducking away and moving behind cover as most of his agents did the same. Panting, he grabbed his radio once again.
"HQ, we need fire support. Large BOW has returned and is going to cause havoc for exfil." Cyprus stated, as he prayed that the BOW hadn't taken notice of them yet. "How copy?"

[Rayleonarde]

"HQ copies all. We're deploying callsign BROADSWORD to location, ETA two minutes. Hold on until then." After that, all radio communication was jammed, obviously someone didn't want anyone knowing what was going on.

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

"God-" he spat, bringing his hand to his temple in frustration. After a few moments, he looked up to the rest of his cowering squad.
"Okay, we've got to stay put for two minutes until the support arrives." Taking a quick glimpse at the wandering BOW, he sighed a little in momentary relief as it meandered aimlessly, looking at the streets around it's feet. "Suggest hiding out until then."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray slipped beneath a moving-truck, and waited for reinforcement.


The BOW looked about, and bellowed again.


Suddenly, Cyprus's radio squawked. "Lieutenant? This is BROADSWORD, we're a minute out." A quiet thundering could be heard in the distance, and it was approaching quickly.

[Cyprus Alpenglow]

Cyprus was ducking behind a waist-high wall, keeping his head away from view.
"Copy that, BROADSWORD." Cyprus responded, keeping his voice down. "I just hope you've got enough firepower to take down what's effectively a walking house."

[Rayleonarde]

"Don't worry, Lieutenant, we're prepared." The rumbling got closer, but eventually stopped.


The beast looked around, bewildered. Suddenly, one side of the monster erupted into flame and gore, as a depleted uranium shell tore into it's body, the roar of tank fire tearing the sky asunder. BROADSWORD rolled onto the main street, the four tanks dumping shell after shell into the creature, until it was nothing more than a smoldering pile of flesh, which the tank platoon then drove over. The platoon commander poked out of the tank, waving. "Heyo!"
