Chapter 1: The Impossible Choice

Jack walked slowly into the armoury knowing that every second was precious at this point he picked up his Beretta and checked it three times before he was satisfied then loaded it, he assembled his rifle and checked the scope was aligned he dismantled it again and put it into it's bag and pulled a magnum out of his locker checked it and put everything into a blue sack followed by his equipment belt he grabbed various forms of ammunition and put them into it, then just as he ambled out of the room he grabbed a shotgun off a rack at the rooms entrance he ambled down the corridor as slowly as he dared he reached the secure lab and was about to insert his security card when something stopped him he paused and thought about what he was about to do he still had time to drop everything and run for the hills but he knew he was the most suitable candidate for this job if he left the chances of success were greatly reduced. But still. The future of humanity could well depend on what he was about to do. But Still. He pulled a coin out of his pocket and mumbled to himself "Heads I see it Through Tails I run for the Hills" he flicked the coin high into the air and caught it when he saw the result his mind was made up.

Inside the main labs central chamber Jill Valentine was working feverishly over a computer screen running check after check on the system after all a single mistake could cost them everything it was just 1 Hour until 12 years of research would be put to the test what started as a drawing board project had gradually evolved into humankinds last chance to change it's fortune there was no room for error she checked the targeting relay for the Twelfth time when the labs blast doors opened and a stony faced Jack walked through with a large sack over his shoulder.

"You ready for this?"

"Not in the slightest but let's go for it anyway"

"Don't worry I've checked everything more times than I care to count nothing can go wrong"

"It's not everything going wrong that worries me it's the fact this is a one way trip that troubles me"

"You know as well as I do that recent events mean this is the only way out"

"I know that's why I'm here"

"Well you better get prepped there's less than an hour to go, the rest of the personnel will arrive in 22 minutes you need to be ready before they get here"

Jack walked into the preparation chamber and took all his equipment out and stripped then he entered his access code to the locker it slid open and there before him was his suit, the suit was designed to hug his body and allow a complete interface with the targeting relays the suit was circuit board green he'd put it on a thousand times during practice but he'd never gotten over just how uncomfortable the suit was because it had to map his DNA there were thousands of tiny pin pricks into his skin only now because it wasn't the practice run he was sweating profusely which really wasn't helping his situation he finished putting on the suit and stood in the sealing chamber the sealant went up his back it felt like someone was dragging an ice cube up his spine then came the bit he hated the mask came down on three small spikes and dragged itself around his face then sealed around the back of his head he felt like his skin was crammed into a small box it was an unpleasant feeling especially the pin pricks around the soft tissue round his eyelids he was just thankful the mask didn't cover his eyes or nostrils he couldn't talk particularly well but that really didn't matter at this point he still had to seal up his equipment and clothes into the special bag he inserted it all into the chamber which looked remarkably like a large oven.

Whilst Jack was watching his stuff gently wrapped and layered into the green stuff it suddenly occurred to him this procedure was definitely not for the claustrophobic once all the equipment had been sufficiently layered the arms began piling it with machine neatness then it wrapped it all into one big bundle with straps the bundle had taken the shape of a rather unusual looking giant turnip. He checked the conveniently placed clock on the wall and noted he had just 2 minutes until the rest of the personnel arrived and the real fun would begin. He took a deep long breath then let it out it soothed his shattered nerves a little he stood up picked up his equipment and marched back into the lab.

Jill had just completed her final set of checks when the thirty minute count down began all the machines automatically powered up and the door on the east wing of the lab opened and in stepped the research personnel along with a few military spectators the spectators went up to the observation room while the rest of the researchers went about the business of preparing the equipment she noticed Jack and his gear were waiting patiently by the isolation chamber she'd been so fixated with her system checks that she hadn't even heard him leave the equipment room two scientists entered there hand and retinal scan onto either side of the chamber door the doors opened and Jack walked in both scientists followed one carried his pack they then began attaching leads to him in various points on the suit one of them put the pack onto his back then they plugged some leads into that.

Jill turned back to her console and began her phase of the procedure a few minutes later the scientists had finished attaching the leads and exited the isolation chamber she then pressed a few buttons on her keyboard and the cables hanging off Jack tightened up forcing him to stand in the classic star pose then the chamber rose up until it was level with the observation booth she tapped a few more keys and two small mechanical arms descended from the isolation room's roof they held a pair of black goggles which were lowered and secured to Jacks face she tapped a few more keys to activate the speakers.

"Ok Jack we're entering the final phase, activating complete isolation mode good luck"

The speaker grill, the cameras and the door were all covered by sliding panels he was now totally isolated that meant the experiment was going to happen no matter what it was irreversible at this point he closed his eyes and waited it wouldn't be long now.

Outside the chamber the scientists had begun allocating the power to the specific components the targeting relays had activated four spikes slowly edged out the top of the isolation chamber until they formed a cone shape the ten-minute count down had begun the chamber was slowly charging to maximum capacity whilst the targeting arms were building up the charge required the calculations had started feeding themselves into the console.

Five Minutes

The chamber had reached maximum capacity and was glowing a very pale blue the last of the calculations had been fed into the targeting arms it was now awaiting coordinates the chamber began feeding the required amount of power into the suit for jack he started to glow a fantastic bright blue he felt like he was being stung by a thousand bee's there's no denying he was in pain but he knew he had to keep it together try and see past the pain

Two Minutes

Jill began entering the coordinates into the console there was an almighty metallic bang against the blast doors like a herd of charging rhino it left a sizeable dent a second or two later there was another bang and the dent got larger, Jill quickly punched up the security feed from outside the lab.

"Oh god it's him!"

The few guards that were in the lab took up arms and formed two ranks as close to the door as they dared and primed there weapons all the military personnel from the observation booth all ran down the stairs and pulled out there handguns and took the classic shooters position just behind the soldiers. By this time the dent was exceptionally large and the doors integrity was reduced to almost nothing one of the Generals turned to Jill.

"Jill keep working do not delay the countdown"

The door was hit once again and it came flying off it's hinges straight at the gathered soldiers most of them managed to leap to the side but the three in the centre and one of the officers caught it head on it went flying into the wall and made jam sandwiches out of all those unfortunate enough to be in it's path there was a large quantity of smoke the soldiers fired wildly into it whilst Jill kept working.

"PLEASE ENTER FINAL COORDINATES TO BEGIN PROCEDURE"

"Right Arcklay Mountains Racoon Forest Bravo Team crash site July Twenty Fourth 1998 9:30pm"

"COORDINATES SET PLEASE ENTER FINAL ACCESS CODE"

A knife came flying through the smoke and struck Jill in the middle of the chest she fell like a sack of porridge. Jack was patiently and worriedly awaiting the end of the countdown after he'd been put into isolation he'd had to count in his head it was a welcome relief it distracted him from the stabbing pains all over his body he estimated he had about 30 seconds to wait before it was all over one way or the other.

The soldiers we're suddenly set upon by a figure moving so fast it was merely a blur they were dropping like flies until there was just one particularly old General crouched in the corner with his magnum cocked and pointed in the vague direction of the last soldiers death the blur phased into existence by his side and quickly bent his arm in a rather odd way he screamed and dropped the gun into the figures open hand.

"Ah Barry it's been far too long how's the family?"

"Fuck you Wesker AH!"

The newly named Wesker had just twisted Barry's arm even further.

"Now, Now manners maketh the man"

The mortally wounded Jill dragged herself to the console and using one finger slowly tapped in the security code needed.

"CODE ACCEPTED BEGINNING PROCEDURE"

Wesker turned round further twisting Barry's arm to breaking point and fired with Barry's magnum the shot hit Jill right in the middle of the forehead destroying most of the front portion of her skull.

"Hehehehe your too late Wesker"

Wesker gave Barry a steely gaze that could be felt even through his sunglasses.

"I regret I can't torture you to death as I did with Chris but I'm rather pressed for time, ah I have it"

Quick as a flash Wesker drew a wickedly sharp combat knife from his boot and slit Barry's throat very deeply there he fell back gurgling for breath Wesker ran straight for the console Jill was just at and viciously jabbed at the keys.

"PROCESS IRREVERSIBLE"

Frustrated Wesker cleaved the console in half with his bare hand and fired Barry's magnum at the isolation chamber the bullets did no damage to it Wesker threw the magnum in disgust and charged at the chamber fist held high he didn't even dent it he bent down and grabbed the bottom of the chamber and lifted with all his might for a few seconds nothing happened then it started coming away from the floor.

Jack had finished his countdown sometime ago and was beginning to get more than a little nervous at least a minute had passed since it should have ended suddenly the chamber started moving he wasn't sure if this was part of the procedure or not but he hazarded a guess that something had gone wrong he began struggling against the cables trying to break free but they wouldn't give.

Wesker was putting everything he had into lifting the chamber knowing that if they succeeded that could be the end of him; the computer sounded an alert siren.

"TARGETING COMPLETE EXECUTING TIME JUMP NOW"

Jack suddenly felt as though he was being compressed to the size of a small pea then suddenly he saw the entire colour spectrum flash before his eyes then it all went black. Wesker watched in horror as a great stream of white light shot through the targeting cone and disappeared into the darkness of the night sky.

Next Chapter: Jack realises he's not where he should be but is he already too late?
