After he refused his captain's offer and pushed the superior inside the pod, the BSAA solider Piers Nivans could only sit beside the exit bay and wait until the entire facility collapses on him, essentially killing him before his virus could destroy his mind.
"Sorry captain, but I'd rather not take you with me if I die."
Lingering thoughts was Piers' only comfort for his humanity. He could feel the skin of his body harden, movement between his fingers dulling more and more, and his vision fading. Convincing himself of his sacrifice for the better cause, he invites the mercy of the raging waters.
Sadly, the jetstream that passed by him hurriedly gave him no chance to rest in peace.
"I'm not letting you get away!"
Both body and mind screamed as the soldier used every drop of willpower he had to swim through the waters and follow the gigantous abomination as it shoots out of the same chamber his captain took. The distance between the two failed to shorten, as the monster gained even more speed, only mere moments away from reaching his partner's pod. With no other options given to him, Piers pointed his mutated arm at the creature's direction, and released the strongest jolt of electricity he could muster.
The voltage wrecked Haos, finally stopping its clutches from ever reaching the surfaces, but not without wrecking his body as well. Charred skin sizzled as it tries to cope against its owner's demise- further accelerating the hardening process, but Piers now hardly cared, he was going to die after all, but his thoughts lingered once more before his head hardened to become a part of the cocoon.
"Times like this make you wonder if reincarnation is really true.."
The soldier's body, now turned into a cocoon, floated in isolation inside the deep blue ocean, with no one being able to see the cracks slowly appearing on it.
"Argh.."
The subtle breeze swept over the soldier, waking Piers from his slumber- a feat he wouldn't have thought possible.
With eyes that felt like they hadn't seen in centuries, letting Piers only see everything covered in haze for a few minutes, he was able to barely make out his surroundings- a hospital room, and a fairly modest one, by the looks of it. He tried to move his body but found that it was simply too sore and heavy to do so. Still, he wanted to try once more, now catching the attention of a nurse that has currently opened to door to the room.
"Doctor! The patient's awake!"
The gleeful proclamation of the nurse was muffled by the hospital hallways as she instantaneously runs out of Pier's room. No one, however, was more happy than Piers himself to knows that he was still alive- and still a person. Relieved, he once again darted into unconsciousness. He would have to make it a great priority to thank who rescued him.
The second time he had awaken, a doctor was there to greet him.
"Ah, I see that you're now awake. Are you feeling okay?"
The doctor, even with all the knowledge he had on Piers' condition, still asked in confirmation, to which Piers also politely replied.
"Yes, I am, thank you, but my body still feels a little too sore to move."
The words he spoke felt like it came from another mouth, its pitch was different, but Piers dismissed it, doing a good job at hiding his surprise from the doctor, whom took his answer in a positive light and peeked at the board he had in hand, flipping through a few pages of statistics and other forms of information.
"That's great to hear! I'm happy to say that it's only going to take a few more days until you're fully recovered."
It only took the man a couple of seconds skimming through the pages before he looked at Piers once more.
"Excuse me, but can you tell us your name?"
Piers wondered for a moment on why they were unable to find out his identity, but he decided to comply nonetheless, and spoke again in the voice strangely new and familiar to him.
"Nivans, Piers Nivans."
As he state his name, he felt that it was a mistake somehow, like it wasn't his real name. But what else could it be?
"My, that's an odd name for a lady."
"A Lady?"
Piers quipped instantly in his mind. The man could simply be playing with him, but something tells him that it was much more than that.
"Could you help me get to the toilet?"
To disprove his delusions, Piers wanted nothing more than to see himself at the mirror, and at the moment they reached the comfort room, that's what he had done, ultimately shocking him with a revelation:
The face that greeted him in return was no other than Ada Wong's.
Author's Notes: I have no idea what came to me when I wrote this, like more of a "What if?" scenario came upon my mind after I finished all the campaigns in RE6 (It took ALOT longer than I thought it would be). Maybe this is more of a one shot, but I feel like I could go back here and rewrite a few stuff and add another chappie, so I'm leaving it open. So I hope you'll R N' R! (And I'm sorry that Piers is OOC)
