The Code Is Nemesis – A Resident Evil 3 Nemesis and Resident Evil – Code Veronica X Cross Over.
It all began as an ordinary day in September. An ordinary day in Raccoon City a city controlled by Umbrella Corporation. No one dared to oppose Umbrella and that lack of strength would ultimately lead to the city's destruction.
If only they had the courage to fight!
It's true that once the wheels of justice begin to turn, nothing can stop them. Nothing! But it may already be too late.
Now it's Raccoon City's last chance and my last chance…
My Last Escape…
I hoped that it would have been all over. But then it happened again. When suddenly a series of inexplicable murders occurred and a strange disease began invading neighbourhoods. The T-Virus was flowing into Raccoon City… this invisible plague snuck up silently on unsuspecting citizens and turned them into flesh eating monsters. The nightmare had already begun and Raccoon City is on the brink of collapse… Siobhan Ryan S.T.A.R.S unit, Rookie. Or that's what my badge says at least. I was working along side my mentors – Chris Redfield and Leon S Kennedy. Even though Leon wasn't S.T.A.R.S he agreed to mentor me with his life long friend Chris.
I remember sitting in S.T.A.R.S room one day with Chris and Leon. This is when the horror began… Jill Valentine – another S.T.A.R.S team member came into the room and went into her draw at her desk got out a berretta and a lock pick and said to us "I'm leaving town I suggest you do the same" "Jill what is going on?" Chris asked, curious "It's happening again, Chris. For god's sake please just take Shiv and Leon and get the hell outta this place whilst you still can!" Jill pleaded. For a brief moment she sat on her desk chair and looked down and let out a long sigh of disbelief. She wasn't a very tall woman about 5'4 and looked in her 20's. From what I have heard, she is the best that S.T.A.R.S has to offer. An extremely talented woman.
"Right, Leon, we have to get Shiv outta here and our sorry butts too. Jill you coming with us or are you going it alone?" Chris asked her.
"I'll tag along with you guys. If we stick together there is more chance we will get outta here. Shiv have you ever fired a magnum before?" "No I'm used to the Glock 17. Chris told me it would suit my type of firing better and I also handle it better than I can with others." "Well do me a favour… try the magnum but take your Glock with you just in case alright?" "Alright! Let's go…"
Meanwhile… On an isolated island… Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside…
I have received information that Raccoon City is in jeopardy. And my brother is in there somewhere… I must travel to Raccoon City with the help of Steve Burnside to rescue my brother and his friends and that rookie S.T.A.R.S member he is so fond of…
I told Steve to stock up on ammunition and other supplies such as medical sprays, herbs etc. Oh here he is now "Right, Steve, we just need to think of a way of actually getting to Raccoon City." "Claire, that's easy we will just have to 'borrow' Alfred's jet to get there and that has an item box on it to put all the extra stuff that the guys have found." "Good work Steve!" "Claire there is only one problem" "What's the problem, Steve?" "We need to raise the bridge or we will never get out of here." "Right I'll do that then whilst you get to the plane and start it up. You have the proofs right, Steve?" he looked at me blankly "Steve?" I said sternly. "I have 2 of the proofs I don't have a clue where the Navy proof is" I sigh deeply "Right Steve you go and look in the palace for the other proof and I will go and try to raise the bridge. Meet up by the plane in about 1 hour, okay?" "Okay. Oh and Claire good luck" "You too Steve" Then we separated and went to complete our objectives.
Back in Raccoon City – 2 Hours Later – Shiv, Leon, Jill and Chris – An Abandoned Warehouse.
"Shiv, don't worry okay? I will protect you no matter what" Leon promised me looking at Chris and grinning. "Hey, no I'm he one to protect her cuz I'm the eldest!" Chris argued back at Leon. Jill took me aside and we started to talk. "Boys hey? Arguing over a rookie… pathetic" "Hey why are you so horrid to me Jill!? I've never said anything nasty to you is it just because I'm a rookie? Is that it?" "Yes cuz rookies don't know anything and they think they know it all when they don't okay!?" Ouch… that hurt a bit. This was no time for petty arguments. "We have to get out of this warehouse boys. Are you coming?" "Of course. Right come on Jill." "I'm not coming with you." "Why?" Leon asked. "As if you don't already know Leon. Cuz of her. She is gonna get us all killed" "No I wont!" "Yer no she won't!" Chris said loyally standing by me. "Are you jealous or something Jill?" "Ha! Me jealous! Of a ROOKIE!? I don't think so Leon so dream on! No I just don't wanna be killed thank you very much" "Well were with you Shiv" "Awwhhh thanks lads!" I say hugging them both at the same time. HEAVEN!! Haha. Jill walked off saying "Fine then! I guess I know where your loyalties lie don't I boys? WITH A ROOKIE!!" she stormed out of the warehouse and out into the dead city… "Should we follow her Leon?" "Nah if she wants to be a spoiled brat then let her be one innit Chris?" "Yer…" "Well thanks for staying with me boys" I say. This was just another excuse to hug them again ahaa. When we had searched the warehouse for anything we could find such as supplies and other things we decided to leave the warehouse in to the death trap of a city which was crawling with zombies, mutants and other things. And on our way through the city we found a creature so terrifying that we still have nightmare about it even now… It threw its head back and howled the only word that it knew… "STARS!" It came straight for us. There was no escape. We were going to die…
Meanwhile Rockfort Island Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside Aeroplane Dock.
"Steve!" "Claire! You made it!" "Yeah. Right let's put in the other proof that's if you found it like ahaa" "Yer and it's already in the dock." We both stepped on to the dock and pressed the button the docking station moved towards the aeroplane. Once aboard, Steve went to the front of the plane and started it up. "Hey! Its in great order, Claire!" "That's good! Now let's get to Raccoon City and save my brother and his friends!" Steve steered the plane up and off the isolated island and headed for Raccoon City…
Raccoon City Raccoon Police Department Shiv, Leon and Chris Downtown Racoon City.
"STARS!!" the monster cried its demonic cry for bloodlust so strong that all three of them shuddered convulsively it was screaming for them it was the nightmare all over again they were all marked for death "Leon…" I muttered. "Move…" Leon breathed to me and Chris. "What?" Chris said "Take Shiv somewhere safe, Chris I done want her getting hurt." "Leon… No please you can't face it on your own I want to help you" "Shiv please go with Chris I will catch up with you both in a bit" the monster charged at us "Shiv just go please!" Leon said as he ducked and rolled out of the way. Chris grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him. We heard heavy gunfire echoing from behind us and the roar of the creature that had Leon hostage and literally fighting for his life. Inside the STARS room 3 minutes later we searched for something to help Leon with. I looked in a big locker next to a transmitter radio which wasn't working anymore. I opened the locker "Chris!!!" I shouted in excitement. He came over. "Way to go Shivo!" it was a Grenade Launcher. And it was loaded with 12 rounds – just enough to maybe take down that thing that was after us… suddenly the radio transmitter cracked into life and there were words that were spitting out of it in a haze of static "… is Claire … Raccoon… were in transport… if you can hear… respond" we tried to respond "this is Christopher Redfield and Siobhan of STARS Special Tactics and Rescue Squad! Can you hear us? You're not coming in very clear what is your location? Do you read us over?" but the relay switch wasn't on and they tried their best to make it work again but nothing seemed to be happening and who ever that was who tried to get in contact with us didn't respond to our call. "Hey Shiv?" "Yeah Chris?" "At least were not the only ones up shit creek without a paddle huh?" he joked to try and lighted the mood but neither one of us could stop thinking about poor Leon fighting that monster out there – alone. Chris picked up the Grenade Launcher and said "come on let's go and help Leon…"
We were making our way back down to the main staircase when a body moved into view. It was crawling. I went to shoot at it. "No wait, Shiv! It's Leon!!" I lowered my magnum and slowly looked down at the crawling body at my feet. "Leon!" I squealed "Shiv, help…" he gasped then passed out "Chris…" I said slowly. He was looking at something moving towards us at a slow pace but heavily. The thing howled and we knew what it was as it stepped into the light… "Nemesis…" Chris breathed "STARS!!!" "Go… Shiv run! Get Leon and run!" Chris yelled raising the Grenade Launcher at Nemesis "I've got this under control! I will meet up with you two at the -" duck "gates of RPD!" he ducked again then shot one of the grenade launchers shells at the fleshy body of Nemesis. This thing didn't even flinch. "Shiv please go!" I didn't need to be told again. I grabbed Leon and helped him down the dark corridor and down the stairs and out of the RPD building. We heard what sounded like a roar of defeat but we couldn't be sure. We waited. As we waited I tended to Leon's wounds. "Did it bite you or anything?" "No I don't think it bites I think its just out to kill you and Chris" "But why just us two?" "Did you hear what it was calling?" "What STARS?" "Yer and you and Chris are STARS and I'm not am I which is why I think that it is after you two… ouch it got me good in the arm." Afterwards when I had fixed Leon up he said "Listen… do you hear gunshots?" "Yeah…" then without warning the front doors to RPD opened and out came Chris Redfield smiling in success "Dine and done. It's dead. Nemesis is dead. And I came out of it unscathed!" "Lucky you it hurt me badly" "But I think Leon will be okay Chris" more gun shots "somehow I don't think we are alone in this guys." He paused "come on let's get to Raccoon City Hall" Chris opened the gates to the RPD and we exited the site. But unbeknownst to us Nemesis was still alive and kicking…
Meanwhile Raccoon City Airspace Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside Aeroplane.
"There it is Steve. Raccoon City." I was here 3 months ago when all this first began. I was with a rookie cop called Leon S. Kennedy and he and I escaped the city together. But from what I hear he is fond of this new STARS rookie himself. I would like to meet this girl and see what she is like. I bet she is a bitch… anyway back to the task on hand… "Steve we need somewhere to land this thing… oh my god…" "What? What is it Claire?" "What is that thing!!??" what I was referring to was a big fleshy creature that looked like some type of tyrant. A lethal creature. Steve looked as well "What the fuck is that thing…" he said, aloud "I dunno but we shall have to warn the others when we eventually find them. I know I could try the transmitter radio in the RPD building again" "No if they didn't hear us the first time then they probably wont hear us the second time and they are probably not even in the RPD building for all we know" Steve said "Yeah true…" I said miserably. When we found a place to hide the aeroplane we had a bit of a hike back into the city. We were petrified of what we had just seen. That monster type tyrant thing. We were eager o avoid it and just get on with trying to find my brother and his friends. When we turned the corner we bumped into a woman. She was leaning against the wall with what looked like a handgun of some type and the name of a bar in her hand. We looked at the name of the bar "Grill 13? You don't think that where my brother is do you Steve?" "I dunno but it's worth a shot going there and speaking of shot…" Steve tried to take the hand gun she woke up and said "Claire!?" then I recognised who it was…
Meanwhile Raccoon City Shiv, Leon and Chris City Hall Gates
"Shit we need the two missing gems…" Chris cursed. "Wait I think I have one of them. A blue one. I got it from the evidence room when we were in the RPD" "What were you doing snooping around there anyway though Shiv" "Cuz there was ammunition in one if the drawers yano the one by the draw that had the STARS key in it?" "Oh yer?" "Well I was walking past it and I saw the gem in there and so I took it. Not for myself! Cuz they are made of glass anyway honestly! I found a file with a link to City Hall on it so I took the gem and the file. You see the two gems were stolen. And I have one of them. The other is in a restaurant close by here. It is in the possession of a man called Bill Hansen. He is the owner of Grill 13. Go there and we will get the other gem which I believe is a green one. It really is that simple." "Good work Shiv!" "Thanks Leon. Well am just doing my job really aren't I?" We both paused and looked at each other for a brief moment. "Err Well come on then boys let's get cracking!!" I said as we started out walk to Grill 13 which wasn't that far away form us...
Raccoon City Claire Redfield and Steve Burnside Grill 13
"Well here we are Steve… Grill 13" We slowly opened the door to the grill and stepped inside. We had to fight off a few zombies but we hadn't run into that tyrant like creature yet – thankfully. There was quite a few herbs here and a bit of ammunition as well. "Hey Steve?" "Yeah Claire?" "Aren't you glad we haven't run in to that freak of nature tyrant thing yet?" "Yeah! If I ever saw him I think I would so run in the opposite direction!" he joked. "Ahaa yer me too I think. So now what are we…?" BANG! BANG! BANG! This was coming form the door. The door flew open and in came my brother and Leon and that rookie girl. I saw Steve staring. "Boys… Chris!!" I shouted and hugged my brother. In the far corner sat Jill Valentine – the woman that Steve tried to rob the gun off ahaa. "I'm so glad you're alright Claire. How did you get here?" "By a plane which we have hidden. It's quite a hike from here but I think we will be able to make it if we all stick together" "Jill… you're alive..." the rookie noted. "Yes problem?" "No I'm actually quite glad. Have you encountered Nemesis yet? No didn't think so cuz Chris killed it!!" "What's Nemesis?" I asked the rookie "It's this tyrant like thing but its dead now. Chris killed it in RPD. He was very brave and he did it alone cuz Leon was wounded cuz he tried to…" "Wow great story it's still alive." Silence "Don't be silly Claire I killed it so it cant still be alive" "No me and Steve saw it on our way to land it was coming form the direction of the RPD actually now you mention that place." "No freaking way… Claire tell me you're joking please tell me you're joking!!" "I wish I was but I'm not unfortunately." "Leon and I nearly died trying to kill that thing. It's after STARS members. So me, Jill and Shiv are all at risk. There is no escape form it…" "Well there obviously is if you are all still alive" "We always get Shiv outta the way cuz she is only a rookie and -" "Ha…" came a soft laugh from the corner where Jill was sitting "I told you that if you stayed with that rookie then you would be killed" "but were still alive – all of us" "I realise that Chris but she is a liability to the group and if we…" "Okay!! I get the picture! I know I don't belong in STARS now. So you know what I quit you have got your own way now haven't you Jill!?" and with that I stormed out of Grill 13 in to the dead city. "What did you have to go and say that for Jill!!??" Leon said outraged. "I'm going after her is anyone gonna come with me?" Leon asked "I will!" Steve said volunteering. "Alright come on Steve is it?" "Yeh" "Let's go" "You're seriously not going to go after her are you Leon?" Claire asked him "Duh! If she has gone that STARS killer hot on her heels then I don't think she should be out there by herself do you? Come on Steve" and with that the two lads went after her "Claire…" Steve said putting his head back around the door "Leon said that we will meet you in City Hall if we find her or even if we don't okay? Oh and don't forget to get the missing gem Chris said Leon yeh?" "Yeah see you soon then" then Steve ran after Leon to find the missing rookie STARS member…
Meanwhile Downtown Raccoon City Shiv Ryan Newspaper Office
I had arrived at the newspaper office and was upstairs searching around for anything that could be useful to this operation. When the door slammed form downstairs "Shiv!!?? It's me Leon. I'm with Steve! Are you even here? Please be okay…" I heard him mumble that last bit. "Leon! I'm up here!" I shouted and I heard their footsteps on the concrete stairs and they burst into the room "Shit it's good to see you guy's yano! I thought I was gonna die" "No we wouldn't let that happen would we Steve?" no reply "Steve?" Leon looked at him. His eyes were fixated on the doorway. Then we heard it. The deep rumbling growl of fury – Nemesis. "Holy crap dude…" Steve uttered "STARS…" it said clearly. As it came through the doorway, I grabbed Leon and Steve and we dived out of the window just as Nemesis shot at us with its rocket launcher. We ran to the end of the alleyway to a door and I grappled the door and flung it open. We piled out into the street just outside of the newspaper office. "What the fuck was that thing?!" "Steve meet Nemesis…" I said "STARS!" we heard it growl from inside. That was enough to have us running for City Hall which was just around the corner. Leon said to Steve and me to wait by the City Hall Gate. "But what if Nemesis comes again?" "Then you run. Run to Grill 13." "Why there?" "Cuz that's where im going now. To get the others and to make sure we have both gems. Shiv have you still got the blue gem?" "Yeh." "Put it in the dais. It should go in really easily. I will be back soon I promise…" "Leon… I don't want you getting hurt again and…" "Your safety is more important than mine. I'm not STARS. Chris, Jill and you are. Your safety comes first." "That's right Shiv" Steve said to me. "Steve, look after her. Make sure nothing bad happens to her or yourself okay?" "I promise. Oh and Leon?" "Yer?" "Good luck mate" "Thanks…"
10 minutes later Raccoon City Hall Main Gate Everyone Raccoon City Downtown.
Both of the diamond shaped gems fitted in perfectly. The two sets of gates slid open revealing a shadowy path with overgrown hedges surrounding it. A sense of relief washed over them as there was no feeling of immediate danger and the only thing that moved was the trees in the mild breeze which had a promise of rain. In the distance we could all hear the soft wailing of a virus zombie drifting through the air. We all stepped further inside. "Oh I told the guys that we encountered Nemesis again." Leon told me. "Oh right well at least we won't be seeing it again." And as if on cue we heard it, a malevolent coincidence that seemed unreal, like some deadly joke. "STARS…" "Speak of the devil. Oh shit where is it?" we were almost at the centre of the small park and the sound came from somewhere ahead – or was it behind? The acoustics were strange, the tiny courtyard in front of us all making the low, hissing cry that seemed to come from everywhere. Leon spun around, searching but the path behind him and the two that stretched away from the open courtyard disappeared into shadows. Then there was a solid heave footstep that seemed to echo. The direction of the sound was again unknown. Nemesis was coming. We all moved… There was no time no more thinking as we split up into groups – Leon, Chris and I went into the gas station/repair shop, whilst Claire, Steve and Jill went alone to the other door which led to… actually I don't know where that one led to… but trust all the lads to wanna come with me ahaa.
2 Minutes Later Raccoon City Shiv, Leon, Chris Gas Station/Repair Shop
As we went through the car strewn car lot the wails of the zombies got louder. "They're getting restless…" Chris said to me "I know which mean we haven't got much time. But what I wanna know is… how does the Nemesis find us? Does it like smell us or something?" "That doesn't seem likely Shiv, considering all the sneaking around that were doing yano in and out of shadows." "Yer I know what you mean Chris" we got to the front of the gas station. A sturdy looking shutter was down and locked. We just have to hope that Nemesis hadn't tracked them this far… "Great!! Now what!?" "Patience Leon… I think I saw a side door! Chris said to a very agitated and irritated, Leon "Good let's go through there then" we went through the side door and were introduced to a well-lit garage. There was oil all over the floor and there were a few tools around the place – set of socket wrenches and a couple of crowbars – "Now what!" Leon shouted "god Leon calm down. I guess now we wait and see if the others come to tell us what was down the other pathway." I said sitting down on one of the small plastic chairs, it was like a typical office room – drinks machine, a small table with chairs and a cluttered desk. Chris checked the phones and just received dead air as he expected. We waited for a whole 5 minutes when suddenly – THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! "Nemesis?!" I said, my voice had a frightened tone to it. "No the banging's are loud but not powerful like Nemesis' so it's either human or -" "Uuhh." The gently hungry cry filtered through the door and into the room which was then joined by another and then another. "It's a group of them…" Leon managed to say through fear and anxiety of his own. He came over to me. "Don't worry Shiv. I'm here to protect you…" he reassured me. I'd never realised how gorgeous he actually was. I mean ive always fancied him but I'd never been this close to him before in my life. "There are at least a dozen zombies out there guys… how exactly are we supposed to sneak out f here now hey??" Chris said, turning to us. "Well I guess we could just open the door and shoot them down?" I suggested "That is a good idea but we might need to save the ammo for Nemesis…" "Yer true…" then there was a high pitched chatter of an assault rifle. Then the zombies ceased to exist once more. Chris put his ear to the door…
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Chris' head jerked back with his body as someone hammered on the door "Hey guys are you in there? The zombies are dead its safe now!" it was Steve "Steve! Are we glad to hear your voice! What's up? Are the girls okay?" Chris asked him "Yer they are fine and there is a way out of this nightmare!" "How!?" Leon asked Steve "There is a trolley. That what was through the other door" "Oh that's fabby!!" I exclaimed "but there is only one problem. It's missing a few things: a fuse, mixed oil and a power cable." "Well look around Steve were in a gas station which also doubles as a repair shop too" Leon runs over to the place where the oil is and gets it. "Right let's…" Then there was a crackling sound. Then there were sparks coming from the other room where there was a car that was under repair and that there was oil all over the floor. Then the oil caught alight and the place began to ignite… we sprinted for the metal shutter and managed to get it up a little. We all belly crawled out of it and ran for our lives across the car park. We got just near the door and the whole place went up. My hearing went and I blacked out for a while…
