Ello! Okay, so I just saw a comercial for Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D and got this idea for a Misc. Is it wrong if I've never seen any of the Resident Evil movies? I mean, I know there's a lot, but I never really knew what the frick it was about. This is kind of a combo Resident Evil meets Maximum Ride meets I Am Legend. You'll see. ENJOY!
Prologue to the Extinction of Mankind
10 years ago-2000
Case file: #00001
Case Name: Avian-Humanity
Experiment Name: Alexandra Cooper
Company: Formax Inc.
Date: January 21, 2000
Experimentation: Success
I lay on the cold, metal table, clothed in a mere hospital gown. Doctors surrounded me. I suddenly got a shaky stomach. What if this failed? I would die, that's what would happen. I have no idea why I signed up for this. I was an experiment, experiment number 00001, to be exact, the first. There was a huge chance I would die. But, really, I had nothing and no one to live for, except for maybe Harry, my dog, but that's a different story. Dr. Jacobs looked down at me, where I had a tube in my nose, giving me oxegen.
"Alex, are you sure you want to do this? You can back out now," he said, apparent worry in his warm voice. I took a deep breath through my mouth.
"Bring it on," I breathed. He nodded and put the mask that gave off the anathetic gas over my mouth and nose. I was out like a light. I'm not sure when I woke up. Maybe a day, maybe a week, hell, maybe a month. When I opened my eyes, I saw, bright, bluish lights. Was I dead? No, this wasn't that kind of light. They were florecent lights. There was a handle at one side of them and a small, metal sign that said "TO OPEN: TWIST HANDLE AND PUSH UP". I did as it said and what seemed to be a half circle opened. As I sat up, I looked around. The lights were on. The things in the room, the tables with medical equiptment, the cold iron medical table, were dusty. I swung my legs over the edge to climb out of the chamber looking thingy. I felt great. As I put my hands down on the bed I had been laying on under the lights, I touched something. A piece of paper. I picked it up. It said Alex in cursive on the front. I opened it up.
Dear Alex,
When you wake up, we'll all be dead. I just wanted to get that out. A virus has struck the entire world. Only the experiments can survive it. You were a success, the first of your kind. But the oporation put you in a coma. When the virus broke out, we put you into the chamber to keep you safe.
The experimentation was difficult. We were able to graft wings onto you. Also, we gave you the speed of a cheetah and the strength of a thousand men. Your eyes, though, are different. You are part machine now. Your eyes are difficult to explain, so I'll just put it this way: they work as binoculars. You can zoom in and out. They should look like video camera lenses when you do this, some parts rotating to ajust. You still do have blue eyes, but... ugh, I'll just let you find out for yourself. Best of luck in the future.
Love,
Dr. Jacobs.
I covered my mouth with my hand and gasped. He was dead? Everyone was... dead? I was the last living person alive? No, no, no! I punched the wall next to my chamber. A huge hole shown there. My eyes widened and I looked down at my fist. It was perfectly smooth, pale skin, the way it'd been before. No scratches. I turned the note around. There was more.
P.S. Go to this address:
Go to Death Valley, CA Lat. 43, Long. 23
There's a building there, a safe haven for experiments like yourself. Go there and you will be safe and live a life. Good luck. A map is on a table near you.
I sighed. So, to Death Valley, huh? Really, I did not want to go there. It was basically a desert. Nota. But, if Dr. Jacobs says I should go there, I'ma go there. I spent the next few days driving to the spot where Dr. Jacobs implied the whatever would be. The desert was disorienting. Then, on the 3rd day, I finally found it. It was hard to miss. It was a huge circular stone wall that looked like it belonged in a fairy tale to guard a castle or something. I found its entrence, a huge iron double door that made me look like a pipsqueak. Then again, most stuff did. I was super short. I sighed as a wind blew my strawberry blond hair in my eyes. I moved it and looked for a handle. Nothing. There was a panel that had a glass with a blue scanner behind in. I got on my tip toes to look at it better. The light shined right in my eye and made a beeping sound.
"Identification," a roboty monotone came from it.
"Alexandra Cooper," I said unsurly.
"Incorrect," it said.
"Alex Cooper," I tried. It beeped again.
"Correct. Welcome to the Ultimax Experimentation Facility, Alex Cooper," it welcomed and the doors opened. I walked in and gasped at what I saw. There were people there, people like me. They had bird wings, like mine, but all different colors. A man in a S. W. A. T. looking uniform walked up to me.
"Name?" he asked as I heard the doors close behind me. My white wings, dirty from the desert, shook behind me.
"Alex Cooper," I said. "I just went through this with Miss Robo out there." To my surprise, he straightened up.
"Alexandra Cooper?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's me," I said awkwardly, rubbing the back of my neck.
"So you've finally arrived," he said. He bowed his head respectfully and said something into his microphone pinned to his shirt. I could make it out.
"Um, can you please tell me what's up? I'm lost," I confessed.
"You, being the first of our kind, are the leader. The Queen or President, if you will," he explained.
"President, eh? President of the Avian Robot People. I like it," I mused. "First female president." The guy chuckled, his brown wings moving a bit behind him.
"That's right," he said with a smile. "Officer Roland Ginger." I nodded.
"Nice to meet you. He escorted me to a special quarters, made just for me, the ruler. I looked around in amazement. It was huge. Like, mansion huge. There was a beautiful crystal chandler in the living room and a flat screen TV and soft furiture and my bedroom was impossible. I felt like I'd died and gone to heaven. I imagined there'd be fancy designer clothes in my closet, but there were more just your casual, everyday clothes. I grinned when I saw them and pulled out a pink mini skirt, light blue bell bottom jeans and a white spaghetti strap. I took a nice, long shower, washing my wings till they were pearly white. I stepped out, squeaky clean and pulled on my clothes. I headed downstairs to where I had told Roland to wait. Then I remembered that I didn't know what day it was.
"Hey, what is today?" I asked. I had gone into surgery on January 21st 2000.
"Today is June 12th 2000." I cursed under my breath.
"I was in a coma... for almost 5 months?" I asked exasperately. He chuckled.
"Yes, well, you were the first and you had... complications. But you are by far the most advance. They had to take out some prospects of us to prevent such a long state of comatose," he explaimed.
"What prospects?" I asked curiously.
"Like, you're stronger. You're faster. You have X-ray vision and can move metal with your mind. Your IQ is genetically inhanced," he listed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Bigg words, small age. How big is my IQ?" I pressed.
"Mmm, around 167, maybe higher," he said nonchalantly.
"Wowsers, that's a high IQ," I breathed. "I don't feel smarter."
"It's not so much your knowlege than your ability to solve and explain. Like, you could solve a 4x4 Rubik's Cube in less than a minute."
"I could do that already," I said. I laughed.
"Don't get a big head. There are larger sizes than that," he informed. I laughed. From that day forth, I was leader of my own little world, or county, or whatever. Roland became my best friend, and, get this, they saved Harry! My life couldn't be any more awesome, right? Until, like 10 years later when all hell broke loose in my perfect little avian world. Sigh, why couldn't we live in peace?
How'd you like it? Very Max Ride/ Resident Evil. I've been taking breaks every once and a while and watching the movie on YouTube, but I'm still confused. I'm only on the first one. Not much to do with this, but I think it does have something to do with the desease and mankind going extinct, right. IDK, but I'm having fun. There will be the zomie dudes in this, so yay. See ya!
Love,
Ashley aka Alex Cooper, Avian Hero
