Chapter 1: The Queen Zenobia
My name is Vincent Alexander Birkin officially...but to the government, I had died during the Raccoon City Outbreak, along with my mother Annette, and my father William the main reason for the outbreak. The bastards at Umbrella had tried to take the research my father worked on...the G-Virus. It has the ability to mutate genetic structures into...horrific monsters. My sister, Sherry was by my father and impregnated with the embryos..though the virus only worked through blood relations or if you wanted to use the true term, incest. Though I see the reason why my father created the virus this way, so that the wrong people cannot spread more of this virus into the world.
I although...have been infected with the sister virus, T-Virus..though instead of turning into some monster...I had grown stronger. I had bonded with the virus, and it had become one of my greatest strengths. Super strength, rapid regeneration, increased senses, and...I had the ability to ingest some of the infected flesh, which was not a favorite of mine by the way, and was able to gain certain abilities of the creature though...I had mainly obtained the ability to protect those close to me. And in turn I had survived, as did they. Then...I had become Vincent Tobias Black after the escape from Raccoon City with Claire Redfield, Leon Scott Kennedy, and Sherry, my sister.
Afterwards I was thrown in prison with Claire Redfield during her Europe Umbrella Attack, at the Rockfort Island facility. There I had met Steve Burnside, and the twins Alfred and Alexia Ashford...both of which may as well have been labeled batshit insane. Though...we had lost Steve before our escape. We had met up with Chris, and his nemesis Albert Wesker, one of the few others to have bonded with the T-Virus. It was there upon he took a creepy interest in me.
Then...years later, the BSAA, the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance, had been founded by a number of people, three of which were named. Jill Valentine who had survived the Arklay Incident, and the Raccoon City Outbreak, Christopher Redfield who had survived the Arklay Incident, the Rockfort Attack, and Clive R. O'Brian. I had joined soon upon their founding and was sent on my mission soon after, along with Jill, and Parker Luciani to the Mediterranean Sea to investigate occurrences aboard the cruise ship, the Queen Zenobia.
"This is the Queen Zenobia eh?" Parker asked as I whistled.
"She's a beaut." I said as I holstered my Sig Saüer P226 handgun. I then had sheathed my large machete-like knife. The back was serrated and it was a truly large blade. I also had my favorite magnum, a Smith and Wesson model M629C (Magnum from RE3) and had six rounds chambered and ready to use...just in case my strengths were not enough. Jill had come from around the corner in a standard blue mesh suit, the top slightly unzipped, more than likely so she could breathe.
"Everyone ready?" Jill asked as I nodded, as did Parker. Parker had turned off the tugboat and then we walked outside in the rain and I sighed my brown hair getting wet. I had changed it to that color because, no one would have second guessed seeing me with brown hair...if I had blonde hair, then a couple questions may be raised. We had then gotten onto the ship via ropes and a automatic pulley.
"Wow.." Parker said looking a little green. I had the same color on my face.
"What's the matter boys? Can't handle a little speed?" Jill teased.
"In normal cases, I can...but shitty sea conditions and speed? I would have rather climbed." I said...right before I had ran to the edge and let loose the contents of my stomach. Both had cringed and looked away. Goddamn seasickness...at least I had some anti-nausea pills. A minute later after some dry heaving and cleaning out my mouth, I had opened my waterproof side pouch and had pulled out one of the small pills, from a tightly sealed container...if water were to get in the pouch, at least then I wouldn't be screwed. Jill pat my shoulder as she walked by and Parker pat my back.
"You'll get used to it." He said walking by and I had groaned.
"I hope..." I said following them. Then as Jill had gone up one of the flights of stairs a large wave had hit the ship and we rocked. I was nearly blown off my feet and I had felt the nausea coming back with a vengeance. Ugh...
"You okay Jill? Vincent?" Parker asked seeing us both. Jill had nodded and I had groaned giving a thumbs-up.
"Vincent still looks a little green." Jill said and I looked up my face with a face that meant I was clearly not amused. Both had chuckled as did I after a minute. We had come to the front door and noticed a red padlock on it, and as Jill had just about shot the lock I placed my hand on her shoulder. Both looked at me quizzically and I had stepped I front, and using my tyrant strength had kicked the door off the hinges and onto the ground.
"Holy shit!" Parker had exclaimed. I chuckled and stretched my foot.
"How did you...?" Jill had asked as I shook my head.
"A story for another time." I said taking point. Both Jill and Parker looked at each other before nodding and following. I turned my suits flashlight on and looked around. Oozing slime everything.
"What the...?" Parker started as Jill had stepped in a pile then cringed and shuddered violently.
"Yuck..." She said moving away from it.
"Whatever did this isn't far." I said as I put on a glove and touched the slime. It was slightly warm.
"How can you tell?" Parker said
"Still warm. Couldn't have been like this for too long." I said as I took off the glove. We had continued as both had their hands on their guns, ready to blow away any threat that may lie in hiding. As we entered the next room me and Jill caught glimpse of a humanoid creature walking past the door to the next room.
"Hey!" I said as I ran around the corner...and found it gone, and a vent dripping slime. Dammit! Too late. Jill and Parker caught up to me.
"What?" Parker asked as I shook my head.
"Something was here." Jill said. I nodded as I opened the door and we walked through. I looked around and had then turned my flashlight on again and began walking through the hallway. Then we heard hanging in the vents. My eyes widened and I jumped. Then I noticed large dents and had began running down the hall hoping to catch up with whatever was doing this. No dice however, because as soon as I had stepped into a large open area the banging stopped. My partners had caught up to me panting.
"Jeez Vincent...making us run and we haven't even started finding clues..." Parker pant as Jill nodded.
"Sorry guys...I know I had something but as soon as I stepped out here it stopped. Then I heard a sound and had then taken out my P226 and had quick-fired a shot into a vent and heard a low growl. Bulls-eye! Then the banging continued. And I soon didn't hear it.
"Did you hit it?" Jill asked and I nodded. We had then continued slowly making our way through the hall and had entered the next room, a cafeteria...with a soda machine still working!
"Anyone thirsty?" I asked with a grin before blowing I had shot the lock on the machine a couple times then opened it. Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, water, Sprite...I had instantly grabbed five bottles of Coke, and another which I opened and took a sip of. Jill shook her head grabbing a Dr. Pepper, and Parker chuckled grabbing a Sprite.
"We also have snacks." I said looking into the machine before kicking the frame in, it shattering. I had then loaded some of the snacks into a ziplock bag, then into another, in my attempt of water-proofing it. Once we had our fills of munchies and drinkage we had continued through the hall, finishing our 10-minute break. Once we had gone through the door to the next room, which in fact was the kitchen, and looked around. Parker had gone to the door and tried opening it...only to find it locked.
"Hey Vincent can you kick this down?" Parker asked as I walked over.
"Give me a hand would you Parker?" Jill asked as he nodded moving to the grate and lifting it. Jill had taken out a box-shaped device and was currently looking around the open grate. This had also piqued my interest and I had wandered over looking at it the door completely forgotten. Then I saw a handgun highlighted in green appear and I blinked. Jill had reached in and Parker began coughing, from the nasty smell of whatever this was. As Jill pulled it out I took notice, that it seemed to be a PC356, which was a...better model it seemed, faster firing rate, and I believe more capacity than some weapons. Though compared to Jill's M92F, and Parker's Government handgun, it was weak in firepower. I'm not sure where my P226 fits in all of this, but I know it's my second best weapon...but considering the fact I don't use my magnum all that much, it's practically my best weapon. Then Parker had put down the grate as Jill inspected the handgun. I sniffed the air and covered y nose.
"Yuck..." I commented the smell of something nasty growing extremely strong. Then I heard a growl and we all turned, to see one of the Ooze creatures had suddenly appeared. I had fell backwards as it had gotten closer to me. Jill and Parker had their handguns out and firing rounds into the creature like it had taken the last cookie from the cookie jar. But it wasn't stopping it. I had began backing up and I had then grabbed my magnum and had unholstered it before blowing a large hole in the creatures head. I was panting from shock, and from fear. Dammit, how had I let it get the drop on me? Jill helped me up as we then had heard a click and turned to the door. It sounded like it had unlocked. I ran a hand through my hair my breathing slowly coming under control.
"You okay?" Jill asked and I nodded.
"You two want to go on ahead?" Parker asked as Jill nodded as did I. I wasn't going to let a little jump scare stop me. Parker had pat my shoulder.
"Good luck kid." He said and I chuckled.
"Stay safe." I said as he chuckled. We had both then gone through the door.
