"Hey Asuka, I know its been a month since I talked to you but Dulvey's cellular connection is trash as hell. Anyway, the situation of Dulvey...Its hot. I mean being an aid worker is one thing but Dulvey is beyond the heat. I can't wait to come back home and pop a few beers with you and Claire, I got to go now, see you soon."
A pair of hands reaches towards a laptop with gasping accompanied by it. It turns on the screen revealing a man with red hair and wearing a military-style outfit. On the left is his ID reading Taisuke Langley Soryu. His closes his eyes and gulps before looking at the camera.
"Asuka...You were right, I did lie to you and I know you don't expect anything from me...But...I have this one last warning...STAY AWAY."
The video comes to an end as it was sent to an email address labeled asuka_soryu.
Dulvey, Louisiana.
A car drives in the roads of Dulvey. The sun's light reflects off of it from the car's metal. Inside the car is former BSAA soldier Asuka Langley Soryu, she was honorably discharged from the BSAA after serving a full service and now works for Terra Save now as their adviser also operative. Sitting next to her is Shinji Ikari, a coworker from Terra-Save and friend since middle school. They unexpectedly received an email from Taisuke in the middle of work while providing aid for C-virus victims which caused them to leave in the process. They pass by the Dulvey haunted house since the address stated it was near it. Though there is a roadblock surrounding it causing them to take an alternative route.
Asuka's phone goes off causing Shinji to pick it up and turns on the call button as the caller ID reads Claire Redfield. Claire helped Asuka adjust to normal life with the help of Leon S. Kennedy and Helena Harper too. Asuka has been friends with the Redfields since Chris was her best friend and Jill who she aspired to be like and was basically her surrogate mother since hers left for unknown reasons.
"Its Claire." Shinji notified as Asuka sucks his teeth and sighs out of irritation since she didn't notify Claire before they left.
"Put it on loudspeaker." Asuka ordered.
"Asuka? Where the hell are you?! You just left and never told anyone, even Moira was scared too." Claire said over the phone.
"Sorry, I...I got a message. Its from Taisuke." Asuka explained.
"Wait, Taisuke? I thought he was dead, the police called off his search." Claire countered while Shinji looks at Asuka worriedly.
"Well I just received a message from him. He's back and he's alive. He told me to head to Dulvey." Asuka replied while making a turn.
"Asuka, as memory serves, you made a lot of enemies in your time in the BSAA. How do you know its him?" She asks.
"Who else knows my email address? I rarely give it out to anyone." The German countered as Claire become silent for a moment. Asuka gives a small smile in victory at Claire's sudden silence.
"And that notion that someone sent me an email telling me to come over is pure proof that Taisuke indeed sent me a message." She bragged.
"Fine, just remember I warned you." Claire sighed before ending the call. The car arrives in the address which is dubbed the Miller mansion, cousins of the Bakers. Shinji has lived in Dulvey and knows the Bakers who have mysteriously vanished. Asuka and Shinji head out of the car with Asuka pulling out her Albert-01R pistol she got from Barry Burton. She cocks the pistol while Shinji pulls out his G17 pistol since this could be an ambush. Shinji always carries a gun on him all the time since he is an employee of Terra-Save after all and the organization has made enemies in the past. He has doubts about this though...
"Asuka, are you sure about this? Claire could be right..." Shinji worried.
"Ach komm schon! Like I said before, I rarely give my email address to anyone besides BSAA members! Plus it clearly came from Taisuke's address too!" Asuka replied in annoyance before walking forward to the path leading to the Miller mansion. Shinji knows the Millers, a kind hearted people who are like the Bakers. Flies swarm around Asuka causing her to swat them off.
"That's a bad sign..." Shinji muttered. When there is a large horde of flies then there must be something dead around. They head straight into the path to the Millers estate with Asuka walking up to the gate. She pushes it but its locked then turns on the microphone but there is no response.
"Shit." Asuka commented before pulling out her pistol since something is wrong. She turns to Shinji.
"You know any alternate paths around here?" She asks Shinji.
"The guest house, there must be clues. The path on the right leads us there." Shinji replied before Asuka nods and goes to the path to the right. Asuka leads ahead while aiming her gun with Shinji following her. Shinji feels that something is wrong...The house appeared to have some kind of mold on the walls but he follows Asuka regardless. More flies are present, a clear sign of danger. Asuka leans from cover...She spots a hooded man walking slowly away causing her to raise her eyebrow then follow him. Shinji walks upright behind Asuka causing her to get up and pull him back into cover.
"W-What happened?" Shinji asks fearfully.
"I just saw a hooded guy walk by. He didn't look so friendly..." Asuka replied before heading out of cover while aiming her gun. They walk towards a path on the right revealing a makeshift gate...Made of deer parts. Shinji smells the stench of blood and remains alongside Asuka causing them to gag a little but they walk into it. Written in blood is a text reading accept his gift.
"Asuka, its best to call the police." Shinji advised.
"Can't cause there's no reception out here for some reason." Asuka replied. They stop at an empty looking house. Shinji recognizes the house as the guest house since he's been there before with their daughter, Anna Miller. Asuka walks up to the door and opens it which causes her to become more paranoid than ever since this could be a trap. Shinji follows her in response...The door behind them slams shut causing Shinji to go to it and tries to open the door but its locked. Asuka growls briefly before heading off.
In front of them is some kind of dining room. There's dust covering the place but its still fresh in some way. Shinji walks up the pot on the table and opens the cover revealing some steak soup. Its still fresh for some odd reason which is strange since no one appears to be in the house. Asuka hears something in the halls causing her to signal Shinji to be quiet then walking ahead again. The noise appears to be static coming from another room in the hallway. Asuka walks towards the door on the right to open it revealing a fireplace that is lit. She lowers her gun and looks around to see a TV on a table to the right. Asuka looks around for a moment and checks the fireplace...She can see a lever above the flame.
"Hey Shinji, get over here! I need your water bottle." She ordered before Shinji comes in and closes the door behind him.
"Why do you need my water bottle?" Shinji asks before opening his bag. He gives it to Asuka who takes it.
"There's a lever in the fireplace." Asuka splashes the water into the fireplace causing it to burn out and make the room dark. The two turn on their flashlights giving them light in the process. Asuka pulls the lever as a sound of something opening is heard. They look down to see the bottom of the wall in the end has opened causing Shinji to crouch and enter it. Asuka follows him also. There's an opening on the ground with a latter leading down. Shinji heads down...Only for the handles to break causing him to fall down on the ground which Asuka falls in response but lands on her feet.
Asuka helps Shinji up as he groans in pain. The two hear breathing coming from the entrance and to the hallway to the right so they walk ahead. In front of them is a body of water so Asuka raises her gun up so the water won't go in it with Shinji doing the same. They swim while looking around for any signs of possible threats. Asuka moves up quickly but a dead body rises up from the water catching her by surprise. It looks like the body is fresh also which is strange. Up ahead is a door with Shinji going up the stairs leading to it. He opens it with Asuka following him.
In front of them is a cell with a man in military grade pants and gray undershirt. Shinji looks at the table to the left to show that it has a CQB gas mask, a compact shotgun, a strange looking axe, boots with spikes on them, some kind of shield that is made to be attached to a shoulder and also a handgun. Something isn't right with this situation...
Asuka shoots the chain in front of the door as she opens the cell door.
"Taisuke!" Asuka whispered getting his attention. He moves slightly though its a little so Asuka comes to his aid. The redhead opens his eyes.
"Asuka...?" Taisuke replied.
"Yes its me! I'm here..." She answered. Taisuke slowly gets up while shaking his head.
"Who told you to find me?" He asks.
"You did idiot! We got your message to find you here!" Asuka spat back. Taisuke shakes his head in fear.
"That wasn't me...We better go before Lucas comes back." Taisuke warned and walks towards the table. He puts on his gear and loads his weapon before holstering his gas mask on his hip. Taisuke looks more like an armored soldier ready to fight in a war. He walks over to the path the right while aiming the compact shotgun.
"I think that's the way out..." He observed.
"Taisuke, what happened? You've been gone for three months!" The older Soryu irritably asks before Taisuke turns to her.
"If I told you then you won't believe me...Mari is in the other side." Taisuke replied.
"Mari!? As in that four-eyed pervert?" Asuka growled. She remembered that Mari and him were childhood friends, she knows him enough to realize that she is a pervert and a creep. Her joining the BSAA along with him didn't make it better either. She never trusted her at all.
"Yes! Now follow me!" He spat back at her before heading off. Asuka shakes her head since Taisuke was twice as stubborn as she is is.
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Shinji muttered.
"Me too." Asuka replied before walking with Taisuke. They make it to some kind of meat room causing Asuka to cover her nose with her hand since she can smell the stench. Handcuffed to a chair is Mari Illustrious Makinami, she is wearing a a sleeveless shirt and army pants alongside boots. Taisuke grabs the glasses on the table before he shakes her.
"Mari!" He called causing her to open his eyes.
"Well...If it isn't it the prince...What took you so long?" Mari weakly asks him.
"Asuka and Shinji came here to break us out. Can you walk?" Taisuke asks while using the strange axe to destroy the chains of the handcuffs. Mari gets up seemingly now active before stretching. He smirks and blushes before handing her his compact shotgun.
"Yep! And ready to fight..." Mari replied before she takes the shotgun. The four walk in the halls...
"Taisuke, are you sure you know where you're going?" Asuka asks him.
"Yes I do, Lucas keeps bringing in food here." Taisuke replied before they head upstairs.
"There's probably an entrance here-" They stop at the living room as Mari walks up while checking the wall up front...No door nor entrance. Fear builds up within Mari.
"Its gone! Its gone!" Mari panicked. Shinji walks up to her to calm her down but somehow she calms down.
"You'll all be a family again when we get out..." Mari sits on the couch nearby as Taisuke looks in fear at her alongside Shinji and Asuka.
"We'll check the other side to see if there's another entrance." Taisuke notified. The three go to the entrance in front of the couch as Asuka kneels as she spots a doll on the ground much to her curiosity. They soon hear crashing and Mari screaming causing Taisuke to cock his pistol then head out first. There's a large hole in the wall Mari was checking. Taisuke heads upstairs with Shinji and Asuka following him. They find themselves in a hallway of some kind as they look around...Soon they begin to hear a thump coming from the area they came from. Asuka heads towards the strange sound and walks down the stairs...She hears breathing. Crawling towards her is what appears to be Mari. Her flashlight malfunctions and everything is dark...
It reactivates again to reveal Mari with pale skin screaming at her. Mari grabs Asuka by the throat then throws her outside with Taisuke and Shinji noticing. Asuka gets up as Mari pulls out a knife and tries to stab her while resisting the gunshots from them. The Brit uses the compact shotgun she got from Taisuke and blasts him with it as the round hits Taisuke in the chest as he defends Shinji, seemingly killing him. Mari aims the shotgun at Shinji but Asuka grabs a hold of her as she fires her weapon frantically but flings Asuka back. She aims the shotgun at Shinji but her skin turn normal causing her to lean against the wall.
"I...I can feel him clawing back to me! Get out of my head!" Mari yelled. She slams her head against the wall.
"I've been bad...I deserve this..." She makes one final slam thus knocking her out. Asuka goes to check on Taisuke as Shinji does the same for Mari. She soon rises up causing Asuka to turn around while loading her weapon again as Mari throws Shinji against a wall which breaks open.
"LEAVE ME...GO!" Mari pleaded. Shinji gets up while firing his gun at Mari who picks a sharp piece of wood and begins swinging it like a knife at him. Asuka joins in and does the same as she fires at Mari. The two combine their firepower as Mari walks towards them. She suddenly stops as her skin goes back to normal and falls on the ground. Taisuke gets up from the shotgun blast as he walks over to see the fallen Mari as he hangs his head in mourning.
"...I'm sorry." Shinji apologized. He walks over to the door as Asuka hears a phone ringing. She goes to the table in the hallway alongside Shinji and Taisuke and picks it up.
"Oh not again..." A female Southern voice said.
"Who is this? What the fuck is going!?" Asuka asks in anger.
"Just shut up and head upstairs." She replied before hanging up. Asuka sighs in irritation...She hears slumping and a door opening. She heads over with the two revealing a trail of blood and the door leading to it. Asuka opens the door revealing that it leads to the same area her and Shinji entered in. She looks around for a moment then heads to the stairs to the right and heads up. There is a button on the wall as she presses it but to no avail. She remembers there was a fuse box in the fireplace which was probably missing one so she heads downstairs with Taisuke leaning against the wall. He pulls out a fuse from his pocket.
"Looking for this?" Taisuke asks.
"Obviously!" The three enter the fireplace as Asuka puts the fuse into the fuse box before heading out. Asuka walks ahead...Only to be ambushed by Mari who appears out of nowhere much to her surprise. Her clothes are riddled in blood.
"Hey guys! I know you all didn't mean to hurt me..." Mari eerily said before grabbing Asuka by the throat once more and slamming her by the wall.
"BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! IT FUCKING HURTS!" She throws Asuka against the wall and stabs a screwdriver against the palm of her hand pinning her in the process. Shinji fires at Mari as she punches Shinji in the face while Taisuke pulls out the strange axe but she disarms him and slams it on his head thus seemingly killing him once more. Mari heads back and pulls out a chainsaw as Asuka successfully removes the screwdriver from her palm as Mari raises the chainsaw. Asuka defends herself as the chainsaw slices her hand off. Asuka pulls away while pulling out her pistol and firing at Mari but falls on the ground.
"Must...Contact...Wong...It all went...To hell..." Mari muttered before walking away. Asuka gets up as her hand is bleeding from the stump with Shinji getting up as well...Taisuke's body is gone. The two head upstairs while Shinji helps Asuka walk. Shinji presses the button revealing the stairs leading to the attic as Asuka aims her pistol while Shinji continues to help her. Shini trips on something so he looks down to see first aid medicine on the ground so he picks it up and pours some on Asuka's injury. They spot a latter heading up...Only for a chainsaw blade to break open the entrance. Jumping out is Mari again as Shinji loads his handgun alongside Asuka's.
"I'm sorry to do this!" Shinji apologized.
"She...Wong...Knows...About...Kyoko!" Mari said while walking towards Shinji and Asuka who begin to open fire on her. The bullets hit Mari in every spot but she still continues to walk towards them. Asuka is the last to hit her thus bringing Mari down on knees.
"Tell your brother...I love...Him..." She said before falling on the ground. Shinji lowers his gun alongside Asuka as they sigh in sadness before walking towards the-
"Welcome to the new family kids!" A voice said before Shinji turns around to see Lucas who turns out to be the hooded man. Lucas punches Shinji in the face as he lets go of Asuka. He kicks Shinji the face and Asuka too as they call unconscious.
