Hello Everyone, okay it's my first fanfic so hopefully you guys like this.
Sorry for my typing mistakes!
And I rated it M because I don't know where it's going yet.
It's been 9 months since what happened in China making it 15 months from what happened in Edonia. Where a girl appeared to change his life, making him see that there are bigger problems in the world. He had been traveling Europe to find more BOW. He received calls from people who cannot afford protection, since the BSAA cannot be in more places at once. Jake Muller took upon himself to help them, and now he was called to Taiwan, where a small village had a problem with a monster. A man looking monster, and the descriptions given to him made him believe it was a J'Avo since it's a close island to China, where everything went out of control.
-9 months ago-
He washed ashore; he didn't have the strength to move so he stayed on the sand. He couldn't remember much about what had happened to him. He remembered when someone walked towards him and managed to help him inside somewhere, probably the person's home. It's been weeks and now he knew about his savior. He is a Taiwanese man that lives alone at that shore, he was blinded by an accident at his job, but he grew up in his home so he knew the surroundings pretty well. He knew that there was something wrong with him but still he helped him and never regretted it. Piers Nivans was at the house, with his disfigured arm he could do so much for helping Xiu Zi Jie. He learned a few words and he managed to understand his new friend. He didn't remember how he got to Taiwan much, or what happened to his arm, but he did remember his childhood, and part of his job at the BSAA.
There had been kids, and teenagers making trouble where he was. Xiu Zi would run after them. Not before some took a good look at Piers. Suddenly there were rumors of a monster living in Taiwan. Not many people dared to venture to where they live, but when they did, it was only to attack him. Piers looked out the window, and then to his arm, he hated what have become of him. They haven't looked for him, and he wasn't going to appear either, the BSAA would probably shoot him on sight.
-Present Day-
Jake arrived in Taiwan, and did not stop to rest; he had rested enough and wanted to get rid of the BOW. He had asked Sherry to give him some of the vaccine created by the use of his blood and had a small case with them ready if there were any J'Avo around, maybe even cure someone, or at least heal him for a time. He arrived at the village and many of the residents started paying him. He raised his hand to make them explain to him what was going on. And they did…
"We haven't been able to go to that place since…."
"Our children are scared of what's there…"
"Some have seen it…"
"Please help us…"
Jake decided to collect payment before doing anything. He usually just carried a handgun but he liked fighting hand-to-hand. He told them to not follow him into the small forest that led to the small beach hidden by the rumors of a monster. He had learned that there was a small house where the 'monster' was in. So that is where he was going, he walked around the trees, listening for any strange noises. Until he saw it, the beach, the sand was white and perfect. He looked around as he walked forward.
"Another one has come in… Hide" Piers heard as he was in the small living room. He shook his head as he stood up and went to his room to hide.
Jake went to the door and before he could knock the door opened making him jump back and go into fighting position. He frowned and relaxed for a second when he saw an old man taking a step forward.
"Can I help you with something?" the man said in Taiwanese and Jake noticed that the man could not see. The man's eyes were white as he moved his head, probably listening to see he wasn't moving.
Jake raised an eyebrow as he then tried to look inside the house.
"Can I help you with something?" The man said again in English making Jake look back at him.
"What the…" Jake said surprised "I thought you're blind or something" he said as he looked at the man up and down with a frown.
"Just because I am blind doesn't mean I cannot hear you from away" the old man said "Besides" he added as he leaned towards Jake and sniffed "You smell horrible" he added as he covered his nose.
Jake glared at the man "You don't smell that good yourself old man" he said
"So what is it that you want?" Xui asked
"Yes, I am here looking for something. People around him are scared of it and I am here to check on what it is" Jake said as he crossed his arms.
"The supposed monster..." Xui Zi asked "I told them again and again, to leave us alone" he said as he moved his head to the side, almost trying to listen to the movement inside the small house as he then moved his walking stick.
Jake raised his hands in defense "I am just doing what they are paying me for old man" he said "And you might be wrong about him, if he is infected with the virus that affected China 9 months ago he will become violent." He tried to explain. "And you don't want to know what happens next"
The man shook his head "He is a dear friend of mine and you won't see him" he said
"How about this… you let me see if he is not infected. If he isn't then I will leave you all alone and I will return everything the villagers gave me." Jake reasoned.
Piers was listening to the conversation, he thought that the voice was familiar but discarded the idea thinking about protecting Xui Zi.
"Piers...?" Xui Zi called
Jake frowned at the name; he hasn't heard it in months, since the person he knew and saved him was dead. According to Redfield his partner died soon after the monster they got locked in with attacked and the young BSAA member used the C-Virus on himself to destroy the monster.
Piers shrugged on his mutated arm, sometimes it was a heavy obstacle for him when he moved. He stepped forward. He managed to see the man that Xui was talking to.
Jake opened his eyes in surprise as he saw the young man behind the Taiwanese person he was talking to. "Piers?" he asked. He had to know the name of the person that saved Sherry and him from the water facility. But seeing him, his arm mutated, part of his face also showing signs of mutation. Jake placed his hand on his mouth as he saw the young soldiers white eyes.
Piers frowned as he looked at the man "Do I know you?" he added
Jake nodded "You…" he tried not to shoot, his instincts telling him to kill the man in the house. "How?" he asked, mostly to himself.
"I asked do I know you..." Piers asked again as he moved his arm back.
Jake looked at him "Yes, well I know you" he said as he moved passed the Taiwanese man "I know who you are, and you… I was told you died… died saving us" he said
Piers frowned "What do you mean?" he asked
"Can you remember anything from a year ago?" Jake asked
Piers placed his left hand on his head trying to remember. "I don't…"
"Edonia, we first met in Edonia." Jake confirmed "You were on the team with Chris Redfield" he added "You helped me and my friend... protected us"
Piers remembered bits and pieces "You were with that National Security agent." he nodded "I remember now. You were… a mercenary" he added "We were attacked" he mumbled
"Yeah two giant BOW's" Jake said "And you helped save me and Sherry in China" he added
Piers started to remember what had happened, "Jake Muller" he said as he remembered what happened in Edonia and part of what happened in China. "I remember now" he said as he looked at his arm, he remember how he injected himself to not just save his Captain, but the world from that monster. How he washed ashore and not knowing how he survived the explosion. "I don't understand, I remember what happened to me" he said "How is it I'm still alive" he added
Jake nodded as his head went to the side, still looking at Piers. "Well for what I heard you shouldn't have. But if you want I have something that can help you" he said as he took his case and took out a syringe. "This is what they made, I've used them on some J'avo and we can try and see if you can be cured" he said
Piers shook his head "I doubt it" he said as he walked to the side.
"You have to try" Xui said from behind "You have a chance of being normal, I know you have it hard with what you have." He said as he raised his hand, making a gesture of Piers arm.
"You don't understand, I lost my arm before I did this. How is it that… I haven't gone on a rampage. How is it that the virus, which was making it hard for me to control myself hasn't done it until now. What if…" Piers looked down.
"I know you're worried" Xui said "And scared, but you're the one that has to choose." he added
Jake extended his arm with the syringe
Piers looked at it. They were right, he was scared and he didn't know what to do, what to choose. He looked down as he took the syringe and used it, hitting his mutilated arm. It burned; he closed his eyes as he tried to hold a scream, he bent down as his arm started to smoke. Piers fell to his knees as his arm started to change, smoke coming out from his mutated arm. It hurt and Piers couldn't hold the screams any longer as his arm started to change and he fainted
A few hours later Piers found himself waking up and looking at the ceiling. He frowned yet again and moved his head to the side. He sat up and noticed he was in the bedroom; he moved to the side and looked at his feet. He yawned as he looked up and stretched his arms upward. He rubbed his face as he stood up, then stopped and looked down. Piers was looking at his right arm, his right arm, back to normal. He extended his arm to the front and looked at his fingers, his wrist, everything was there as if no monster had tossed him to debris and cut off his arm. He moved it every angle he could. "How can this… happen?" he then looked at the door. He wondered if Jake stayed here, he looked around and saw a shirt, a normal one, and put it on. He felt lighter, like before everything that happened in China. He got out of the room and saw Jake and Xui talking.
"Hey sleeping beauty" Jake said with a small wave.
"How is he?" Xui asked
Jake smirked as he looked at the ex-BSAA soldier. "Normal" he said
Piers looked at them and then at himself, "Yeah normal, a little like before" he mentioned as he moved his arm. "Although I do not know how" he said
"Well I have no idea. I only heard you… died after you and Redfield rescued me and Sherry from there and got trapped with that monster." Jake said as he looked back a Xui. "The science stuff is not my thing" he added.
"Well, if I were to go back there, I would be probably shot or experimented on." Piers said
"I know the feeling, and that is something I would never want to go through again" Jake said as he nodded. "But if you don't want to stay here, I am doing this mercenary stuff against BOWs" he said as he looked at Piers again.
Xui nodded "You should finally do something outside" he said "Probably I won't have much trouble with the kids here" he added as he turned his head to where Jake was sitting.
Jake nodded "They already paid me to get rid of a monster, and I did" he smirked.
Piers raised an eyebrow "Well I sure don't mind getting some fresh air." He looked at Xui "If you don't mind me getting out of here" he said
Xui shook his head "It was very peaceful before you got here, I will miss it" he smirked "You go and do what you should be doing Piers" he added and said in Taiwanese "Good Luck my friend" he said
Piers looked at Jake "Well I've rested enough, All I need is another rifle for me" he smirked
Jake shook his head as he stood up from his chair "Well we can try something from my old days and get another one" he said as he looked at Xui "Thank you for taking care of him" he said
Xui looked up "Now it's time for you to do it"
"Hey, hey, hey I am not a child" Piers said as he went to his room and took the few things he had, leaving the shirts and taking some of the things Xui would get to him. "I can take care of myself you know" he added as he got out of the room with a small bag, and his soldier uniform "I'm 26 years old for God's Sake" he mumbled
Jake smirked "Well let's get the people of the village a reason not to bother Xui here and for them to calm down with all the monster things" he said
Piers nodded and went to his friend, "I will come visit" he said after a long good bye,
Xui nodded as he patted the man's shoulder. "Go" he said
Piers looked at Jake as they headed out the house. "I'm going to miss some things here" he said as he looked back one last time as he followed Jake. "Are you sure this is a cure for me?" he asked Jake
"What don't you like looking normal again?" Muller asked "If you like I can get some C-Virus for you." He added "Plus he looked like he can see… is he really blind?" he asked Piers
"Looks like it, but he just knows what's going on. He lived here since he was a kid so he knows well the terrain." Piers explained as he looked at his arm "And it's not that, I should've gone back to normal, as in, not having my arm for example" Piers said as he walked next to Jake.
