Author's Note: I wasn't going to post this for a while, but I decided to just see if people like this story before I write any more chapters. I was reading some of the stories here, more specifically on the relationship between Alma and Becket, and I was disappointed that I didn't find too many really good long stories between the two and those that were good pretty much were abandon. This story is my attempt to make a story that is as canon as possible (Characters) but it stems of as an AU after Project Origin because F3AR has not come out yet and I'm positive that they will not use the same route that I'm going. I will turn this into a one-shot if no one likes this story so please if anyone likes this story, please review because that tells me that you like this story. Just reading this story and not reviewing it does not give me any feedback. Also if you think that there are some things off about this story, please tell me so that I can address the situation. Anyway this chapter starts about halfway towards the last level of FEAR 2 Project Origin and it is a little different because I have Becket talking a little bit but it isn't that different. Also certain scenes are shown though a different perspective and others are a little bit more descriptive (I wonder what scene that is). I hope that you guys enjoy this story as much as I had writing it.
Characters (Human): Sergeant Michael Becket, Lieutenant Keira Stokes, Sergeant Manuel Morales
Characters (Ghost): Alma Wade
Interval 01: Broken Union
Sergeant Michael Becket and Lieutenant Keira Stokes walked into the control room on Still Island preparing for what was about to happen. In a matter of minutes, Becket would be strapped into the Telesthetic Amplifier so that the machine could amplify Beckets psychic abilities in the hope that he would use them to defeat Alma Wade, a psychotic ghost who was responsible for the death of half of their team.
Stokes turned to face her comrade and said, "Whatever happens, I just want you to know- Nobody else could've done what you did today, Becket. If we get out of this, it's because of you."
And for the first time since the beginning of the mission, Becket replied, "No Stokes, it is not only because of me. It is because of all of us that we are getting out of here alive."
Stokes couldn't help but smile when she heard his voice. According to his profile, Becket was a very quite person and rarely talked, especially during missions. She had only heard his voice a few times since she joined the team and it was nice to hear his voice again, considering the fact that every time she talked to Becket she felt like she was talking to herself.
"It's nice to hear your voice again, Becket," Stokes commented.
After hearing no reply from Becket, which she was hoping she would hear again, Becket and Stokes walked up to the upper level of the control room, finding an airlock.
Stokes sighed before saying, "Let's get this over with."
Becket simply followed Stokes, not bothering to respond to Stokes as they enter the airlock.
"Go ahead and cycle the airlock," Stokes told Becket once they both entered the airlock
Becket went over to the control panel and pressed the button which began the cycle airlock. The door behind Becket and Stokes closed and the door that was closed when they entered the airlock opened. They both began to walk outside and began to walk on the path to find the amplifier.
"Once we're inside, I'll need to make sure everything's set up the way Snake Fist indicated in his notes," Stokes told Becket, "While I'm doing that, you can power up the amplifier."
After a few seconds Becket and Stokes found another airlock which caused Becket to emit a groan.
As the pair entered the airlock, Stokes said, "Great, another airlock."
"It could be worse," Becket said, "Alma could be in the airlock trying to consume us."
"Oh now the peanut gallery decided to crack a joke," Stokes retorted, "And at the wrong time to!"
"Hey I can be funny when I want to."
"The last time you told a joke it was fucking pitiful!"
"It wasn't that bad…"
Stokes stared at Becket as she put her hips on her hand using the women's old classic jester that caused Becket to remember the time on the APC just before they arrived at Aristide's Penthouse.
"Hey guys," Becket said to the rest of his team in the APC, "You want to hear a funny joke while we pass the time to Fairport."
"By all means go ahead Bucket," Sergeant Redd Jankowski exclaimed.
"Becket, I didn't even know you knew how to tell a joke," First Sergeant Cedric Griffon commented, "Perhaps my assumptions of you were wrong."
"What do you call a pig that knows karate?"
"I stand corrected," Griffon said causing everyone except Becket to laugh.
"You know, fuck you guys. I'm going to nap before we arrive at Fairport. Wake me up when we arrive."
"Ok maybe I'm bad at telling jokes," Becket said.
"Just punch the stupid button."
Becket grumbled as he pressed the cycle airlock button. The same sequence of events happened again before entering the Amplifier chamber.
As Stokes and Becket entered the chamber, Stokes said, "Becket, power up the amplifier."
Becket walks up to the council and activates all three switches. The pair watch in awe as the Telesthetic Amplifier begins to power up.
"That's it," Stokes exclaimed, "According to Snake Fist, it'll take a few minutes to reach full power."
A bridge starts extend to Amplifier making a clear path towards the Amplifier. Becket begins to walk towards the chair and begins to sit down in the chair.
"Hey Stokes can you strap me in," Becket asked his commanding officer.
Stokes walks over to Becket and begins to strap Becket into the chair. Justas Stokes finishes strapping in Becket, she leans over and kisses him on the cheek before saying, "For good luck. Hell knows you are going to need it."
Just then, the Telesthetic Amplifier begins to power down and Becket and Stokes turn around and see who the culprit was to find no one other than Genevieve Aristide.
"Aristide!" Stokes exclaimed as she begins to walk towards the head of Armacham, "What's wrong with you? We have to stop Alma!"
"That's exactly what I intend to do," Aristide replies as she slowly walks into the light before leaning heavily on the bridge controls.
"But Becket's not strong enough without the amplifier. She'll absorb him."
Aristide gestures vaguely, with a pistol in her right hand before replying, "And then we'll lock them away."
"What the FUCK is wrong with you! Why are you doing this?"
Stokes begins to move away from Aristide as she pointing her gun at her.
"Without Alma, I don't have any leverage. Without leverage, I don't have a future."
Stokes turns to give Becket a quick look of disbelief before turning around to Aristide and walking up to her.
"I can't believe this. The city's a smoldering ruin and you're worried about your fucking resume."
"Listen…"
"No, you listen! We're doing this Halford's way," Stokes tells Aristide before turning away from her, "We're going to kill this bitch."
Stokes begins reaches for her gun but she is a second too late as Aristide notices what she is doing and shoots the lieutenant. Becket watches helplessly as Stokes is flung back against him, causing him to grunt in pain as her blood splatters on his visor. She falls to her hands and knees, briefly presses her left hand to her side before extending that hand toward Aristide, and finally sags to the floor.
Aristide advances towards the strapped in solder and stares down at the person she had just shot before saying "I'm sorry it came to this. I really am.
Aristide staggers, but before she falls regains her balance by placing her right hand on Becket's knee before continuing her little monologue.
"I'm not a bad person. I just don't have a choice."
"You always have a choice Aristide," Becket replies after getting over the shock of Stokes getting shot.
"So you can talk Becket. I was starting to think you were mute. It doesn't matter anyway because you have a date with destiny, Sergeant Becket. Let's not keep Alma waiting because she tends to kill people who make her wait."
Aristide pats Becket's right knee and takes a step back. The power for the Amplifier begins to power up again as Aristide leans and stares off to Becket's left as the power radiating from the Telesthetic Amplifier makes her able to see Alma.
Stokes who was luckily not killed by Aristide and still barely alive shifts so she can stare at Alma, the woman who was responsible for half of her team's death. She was shocked to see how attractive Alma looked and even more shocked to see that she was naked. She had curves in all the right places and her long raven hair covered her breasts which she probably used to seduce her fellow teammates before killing them.
Alma turned to stare at Aristide with her cold black eyes. Lifting her right hand she hurtles Aristide backwards onto the and into the railing. She began to stand in front of Becket as if she was protecting her mate. Black tentacles appeared pointing in the direction of Aristide as if warning her that if she moved towards Becket she would kill her.
Alma began to turn into her more scary bone as her sexy attractive body was replaced with a more repulsive and skeleton looking figure. Aristide and Stokes both looked at this form in horror as the ghost stood in front of Becket.
"Stay away from HIM!" Alma warned, "He's MINE and I will not allow ANYONE to take him away from ME!"
Alma notices that Aristide heard her warning and when she knew that Aristide would not harm her Michael, her tentacles writhed and disappeared. Aristide takes advantage of this moment and pulls herself to her knees. She quickly activates the bridge controls before Alma could liquefy her.
The bridge begins to retract, and the Amplifier sphere closes. Alma is suddenly in front of Becket cocking her head and staring at him. She reverted back to her more appealing form almost as if she was trying to seduce Becket.
"How dare that BITCH have the nerve to kiss MY MAN!" Alma screams.
Becket knew that Alma was referring to Stokes and she must have saw Stokes kissing his cheek. Not that he was surprised considering the fact that she was stalking him for the last twenty four hours attacking him and his team.
Becket tries to speak, but is unable to speak for two reason. One is that he is scared of Alma, after all she did kill half of his team and she would likely do the same to him in a couple of seconds. The other reason was that he was strangely attracted to her, which horrifies him even more considering what she did to him and his members of his team.
Becket looks down to notice that his penis begins to erect causing him to silently curse at himself for having an erection at such an inappropriate time.
Alma looks at the bulge in his pants and begins to let out a deviant smile which scares Becket. Seeing as there is nothing Becket could do to stop her, Alma pulls down his pants and boxers down to around his knees releasing his erection from its prison.
Looking at the erection with curiosity, she uses her right hand and gently strokes it. Becket's breathing hitched as Alma does this which doesn't go unnoticed by the young and attractive ghost.
Realizing that she would have time to experiment later, Alma straddles Becket's waist so that her vagina was only centimeters away from his erection, in order to tease him. She leans in close to Becket before her lips lightly touches Becket's
Becket gasps at the sensation from Alma's kiss. The feelings Alma was eliciting from him, was unlike any woman he has ever been with and she was probably the most inexperienced person at kissing due to being locked in the Vault in a medically induced coma since she was eight. In fact this was probably her first kiss and if Becket didn't know anything about Alma, he would have thought that she had kissed a lot of boys before her death.
Alma loved this new sensation she was feeling and began to deepen the kiss. She had no experience in what she was doing and the only way she even knew what she was doing was from overhearing those conversations the scientists who was experimenting on her had about sex. She had to listen to those bastards explain in excruciating detail what they wanted a woman to do to them in bed and just the thought made her sick. But since she was trying to seduce Becket, that knowledge she overheard could now be put into good use.
Feeling bolder, she pushed her tongue into Becket's mouth and her tongue began to play around with his tongue. Alma emitted a moan of pleasure as Becket began to suck on her tongue causing her to feel an erotic sensation spreading though out her whole body. She soon realized that it was now time to put her plan into action before it was too late.
At this point Becket's penis was standing at attention, lubricated with his own pre-cum and all ready for her. Alma's vagina was also moist and ready to accept Becket's erection. In one shift moment Alma slammed her vagina down on Becket's erection as hard as she could. Normally since Alma was a virgin, this would have been extremely painful but since her hymen had been broken in order to give birth to her two sons, she only felt a wave of pleasure.
Becket also felt an extreme wave of pleasure but it was only short lived because just after he entered Alma, Becket began to blackout.
Aristide stood their staring at the Telesthetic Amplifier, which now contained both Alma and Becket. Hopefully at this point Alma would be distracted with Becket's presence then trying to get out of the Amplifier. She knew at this point Becket was already dead and consumed by Alma just like she did to First Sergeant Cedric Griffon, Corporal James Fox, and Sergeant First Class Harold Keegan. By the time Alma realized what was going on, it would already be too late and Alma would be trapped in the Amplifier with little chance of escaping. Then she could use Alma as a bargaining chip to prevent the ATC Board of Directors from arresting her and killing her.
Aristide broke out of her train of thought when she heard a moan coming from the supposed to be dead lieutenant. She would have shot the lieutenant right then and there if her gun was in her hand and not on the bridge floor was it resided now.
"How are you still alive?" Aristide asked Stokes.
"That was probably your first time you shot a gun wasn't it," Stokes retorted, "Your shot was horrible and it missed all my vital organs."
"Well why don't we fix that shall we," Aristide commented as she grabbed her gun and tried to kill Stokes.
Then a gunshot rang out and the next thing Stokes knew was that Aristide dropped dead with a bullet logged into her spine. As Aristide dropped down dead, Stokes turned to see who the culprit was and smiled when she found that it was none other than Sergeant Manuel Morales.
"Manny, I thought I told you to guard the front entrance," Stokes commented.
"Apparently there was more than one entrance to the Telesthetic Amplifier," Morales replied, "When I saw Aristide going entering the chamber another way, I quickly followed her."
"Well good thinking because you just saved my life."
"Hold still. I have a medkit with me and it will hopefully patch you up so that we can take you to a hospital."
Morales began to quickly work on Stokes as he began to patch up the lieutenant. After about a few minutes, Morales did all that he could for Stokes at this time and helped Stokes to her feet. She put her arm around Morales allowing her to be easily transported of the bridge.
It was then they heard a demonic scream coming from the Amplifier as they heard a familiar voice screaming, "Why doesn't she want ME!"
"Was that Keegan?" Morales wildly asked Stokes, "And man does he sound pissed."
"It sounded like him," Stokes replied, "What the fuck did Alma do to him?"
"Why does she only care about YOU!" Keegan's voice rang from the Amplifier.
"What the fuck is that device doing to Becket?" Morales asked.
"It's not the device doing that to him, It's Alma," Stokes explained, "It's safe to assume that Keegan is talking to Becket so he is probably still alive. We need to get Becket out of there before Becket is consumed by Alma."
Stokes and Morales quickly staggered towards the control panel for the Amplifier. Stokes moved her arm so it wasn't around Morales and placed her hand on the railing allowing Morales to have ability to shut down the Amplifier and open it.
"She's MINE!" Keegan voice rang startling both Stokes and Morales, "You will NEVER have her!
It was then that they noticed that Keegan's voice was not the only sound coming from the Amplifier but they could also hear moans of pleasure coming from the Amplifier.
"Manny hurry it up," Stokes yelled.
"I'm going as fast as I can but I need a damn password to override the controls," Morales replied.
"Well then hack it, I don't care, just get the Amplifier opened."
"It's not like they had a hacking class back in basic. But lucky for you I do know a bit about hacking, but it will take me some time to bypass the security on the control panel."
"Becket!" Keegan screamed.
"GET THE FUCKING AMPLIFIER OPENED MANNY!" Stokes screamed.
"Help… Me!" Keegan's voice whispered before a shot rang out from the Amplifier followed by the screams of a woman reaching her peak. But Stokes and Morales were only focusing on Keegan's voice and getting Becket out of there so they paid no attention to the womanly moans and screams.
The Amplifier went silent worrying Stokes that they may have already been too late.
"This doesn't make any sense," Morales whispered to himself.
"What happened?" Stokes instinctively asked.
"All the security on the control panel just disappeared. Somehow, it was just bypassed. I don't know how to explain it…"
"It doesn't matter now, just open the Amplifier!"
Once Becket had killed Keegan, he returned to the real world. Still strapped to the chair, he began to shake for a few reasons. One was because of the adrenaline he felt from his fight from Keegan was still pumping though his veins. Another reason was that his body could still remember partly what happened when Alma raped him and could still fear the aftereffects of his orgasm. But mostly he was shaking in fear. After all he was just raped by a ghost.
Just then the Amplifier opened and to his horror he could see the naked Alma with both hands on her belly staring at a world that was in flames. Alma turned around and smiled at Becket before appearing before Becket.
Becket looked down to notice two things. One was that his pants were back up and the other was that Alma was heavily pregnant. Looking at Alma in horror, he realized that Alma had used him to get herself pregnant.
Alma could see Becket's looks of confusion and horror, and she reached out to take his left hand and placed it on her belly. Becket was reveling at how soft Alma's skin was when he heard a soft female voice saying, "Mommy."
Alma began to smile at Becket and in a sudden flash; Becket was back in the closed Amplifier with his hand still on Alma's belly. Becket stared at Alma's belly and it was no longer swelling and was back to normal.
"Our child will be powerful," Alma told Becket, "She will make this world a better place and get rid of all the people that did me wrong, that will try and separate us! And I will finally be able to hold her like I desperately wanted to do with my two sons, but was denied."
It was then that the Amplifier began to open and in a terrifying screech, Alma disappeared. He watched as Morales ran up to him screaming his name, but he couldn't hear him as sleep finally took over him.
Well that is it for this chapter, I hope you guys like it. This is also the end of the first Interval as this is the end of Project Origin. The second Interval will not have a lot of action and my guess is that it will be about two chapters. Again please review this story to tell me what you think about the story. If you didn't like the story, don't flame the story, just tell me what you didn't like about the story. Honestly as long as a negative review has constructive criticism in ways how to improve this story or my writing, I honestly will see it as a plus because that is what helps me improve my writing. Also I have been thinking about adding the Point Man and Paxton Fettel to the story so tell me what you think about that as well. If I do decide to add them, they will not appear until around the third or fourth Interval.
As I have done with many of my stories, I like to give people a little heads up on what to expect in the next chapter just to keep their interest in the story in case for any reason I can not write for a certain reason (School). I don't have much planed out for the next Interval yet but what I do have so far is three things: Manny has brought Stokes and Becket to the hospital to recover from there mission, ATC has created two new enemies for Dark Signal (Only one is OC), and Alma is trying to get Becket back.
