*Note from Author* Hello everyone, this is my first posting on this site, I been in want to post my other writings that I have done on deviantart but, I wanted to clean them up before posting them here; other than that, with this story - it was a motivation from playing Mercs Reunion as Excella Gionne. I have to say that she is one badass chick (aside from Barry's "I have this!!") so this story is based off of her - other characters will be included in this .5 series of RE 5. I hope you enjoy the read..
[START OF CHAPTER 1] Resident Evil 5.5 – Rebirth
Throughout the hardships during their journey in Africa, Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar grew stronger in their partnership for one another which enabled them to successfully defeat the virus augmented Albert Wesker. Delivering the final blow with RPG-7's within the chasm of a volcano ensured them the thought the worst was over but, little did they know, back on the tanker where they defeated Uroboros Aheri; lays a seed that has yet to hatch. As the outer shell of the Uroboros Aheri was hardened due to the satellite weapon, it began to crack down below, as it did, a semi-black mucus busted out of it pouring onto the ship deck; along with it was a pale human like figure within its confines. Being female in nature, she tried to push her way out reaching to breach the surface; once she did, gasps of air returned to her lungs as if the female was drowning.
"Huuuuaaaaah… Huuuaaaah… Huuaaaah!"
After the few gulps, her breathing was returning to its own rhythm. The female started wiping off the thick mucus off of her eyes and the rest of her face, and then she opened her eyes slowly. Struggling with blurred vision, the female rubbed her eyes a few times until the image became clear to her. Looking around confused in her surrounding, this female was no other than Excella Gionne of Tricell, who earlier died from the Uroboros rejecting her as a suitable host in Weskers betrayal; but now she is finding it perplexing to even being alive, remembering detail from detail of before.
*patting herself* "Am I really… alive…" Excella said "Th… this is impossible…" observing her glaze coated body as it reflected the light shining upon it
"How did I come back…? I thought Uroboros rejected me but…" still observing herself "I am standing right here… did it mutate?" Excella questioned
Taking the moment to think, she remembers how painful it was to have the Uroboros – Virus (U – Virus) tearing her body apart; a pain that cannot be compared to any other for it was the one that took her life, but within her subconscious thought, Excella believed that she fought Chris and Sheva as the mutation; within her deep meditation, the one name slipped out of her lips.
"Albert… why… why did you betray me, I did everything for you… everything you asked…" Excella harped
She fell on her knees in deep emotion which urged her to pound the deck, and as she was releasing her frustrations, Excella felt a dent being created by her own hand. Noticing this right away, Excella couldn't help but to take another glance at herself, seeing that she looked as normal as she was before but, she feels different within the inside; as if something is fueling her with an ability that is unknown to her at the moment.
*looking at her hands* "What is this feeling…?" Excella said "Is this the power of Uroboros…?" she questioned
Excella firmly gripped her hands as she felt a surge, a rush of new life running through her body; it filled her with a joy like no other that made her smirk in realization.
"It looks like I am worthy after all…" she said in a witty tone "but now… it's going to be all over for you… Albert…" she whispered
Excella got up slowly from the ground, she felt the wind in her nakedness, only reminding her that she was still on the ship; noting to her that Wesker was probably long gone spreading the U – Virus and thinking that Chris and Sheva might have died by his hand. Not leaving anything to her wonderings, Excella started to trek to the bridge of the ship to find the location of the stealth bomber that was harbored on the Tricell tanker.
As Excella was walking the path, she seen the destruction caused by her Aheri form, getting glimpses of actually trying to reach and kill Chris, Sheva, and more importantly Albert Wesker. Approaching the locker area of the tanker, she decided that it would be wise to wash herself of the gooey black afterbirth she emerged from. Once inside the locker, Excella stepped into the shower, as she turned the nob; the cold water started to run through her hair down to her body. The semi-black goo began to melt off easily as it began to reveal her pale Mediterranean skin. Excella gave a relaxing sigh in satisfaction of the cold shower, getting a bit of a high by feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
"Mmmm, I never thought a cold shower felt this good…" she said guiding her hands through her hair a few more times
Once Excella finished her shower, she stepped out of the shower to find a towel to dry herself of the remaining beads of water. As she was making her pass towards the mirrors, Excella took a good look at her body, she started flaunting it in a model like delicacy as well as giving her chest a jiggle; but she noticed something different. Walking closer to the mirror, the one thing became more apparent, her eyes glowed an ominous orange and yellow like glow. Observing, Excella seen that her eyes wasn't her usual grayish green color but, an orange color that gradients into yellow the closer it got to her cat-like pupil. In a bit of a shock over the make-over, she couldn't help but to be allured by it.
"Looks like I have to wear shades like Albert do…" Excella giving a sultry chuckle "Enough…, I have to get going if I want to catch up to Albert…"
Not wasting any more time, Excella grab a towel to wrap around her neck to capture the water draining from her long hair. Continuing her trek through the ship, she walked among many dead manji, as she made her pass through the corridor, Excella got to the bridge. The sun was beaming its morning horizon light through the windows giving her a nice glow. First thing Excella did was to check the control panel to locate the stealth bomber. With her keen insight and intellect, it took little to no effort to pin point its location.
"Well that's odd…" she whispered; Excella double checks to see if the readings are correct "The bomber seems to be where a volcano is…"
Thinking of the one and only possibility of what could have happened, which was that Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar put a stop to the spread of the Uroboros – Virus. Knowing that Wesker was a man of his aspirations, Excella couldn't help but to laugh.
"Oh my god Albert… you let a couple of vigilantes ruin OUR ultimate goal…?" still laughing "It looks like Uroboros chosen its TRUE successor… and I will make MY goal a reality…"
Seeing that there was nothing else to look into, Excella checked the engine schematics of the ship to see if it could return to the main land. The stats showed her that it would take an approximate of 2 hours to get back to Africa in its initial speed thanks to the damage done to the ship. Excella gave a light sigh knowing that she has to wait but, while she was at it, she walked towards a locker that harbored her nanopolymer suit which was to be worn by her soon as the spread of Uroboros was to commence. It was like Jill's suit but the color was in reverse being tinted by a purple on the black sheen and a few custom edits done by Excella herself. She slipped in nicely into her "queen" outfit as it hugged her body in such a way, zipping the front of her suit up, Excella then reached for her dark purple trench coat also made by nanopolymer fibers.
"A perfect fit for a perfect queen…" Excella expressed while fitting the coat "Now, to just wait and…"
Interrupted by the sound of helicopters coming towards the tanker, Excella walked towards the windows to see where they are coming from. Once she pinpointed them, Excella gave a gratifying look that her luck, as good as it is now is turning for the better.
"Well… well… well, it looks like I don't have to wait anymore…" she said
[END OF CHAPTER 1] Resident Evil 5.5 – Rebirth
"As the flower blooms and dies, a new life emerges in its place…"
