Upon hearing about the disappearance of the Bravo Team, the Raccoon City sent S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team to investigate.
The S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Helicopter arrived in the Forest of Arklay Mountains, piloted by Antoine Vickers. Also in the helicopter was S.T.A.R.S. captain Shadow Wesker, accompanied by Silver Redfield, Blaze Valentine, Rob O' Burton and Ray Speyer.
Antoine landed near the helicopter and everyone started examining the area.
Silver and Shadow examined one side, Blaze and Ray examined the other, Rob O' checked a different area.
As Ray was searching some growling was heard and then he turned around at the sound of a twig breaking.
He aimed his shotgun as he panted, but started to relax when he realized nothing was there.
At that point a zombie dog leapt at him and bit his arm, and then more dogs arrived and started biting at him.
Blaze was shooting at the dogs, trying to save him but he was soon overwhelmed by the dogs and Blaze's gun an out of ammo, and Ray soon died from the attack.
Blaze stood in shock as the dogs fed on Ray's corpse, and one of the dogs turned its sight on Blaze.
She attempted to run but she tripped and the dog leapt at her but Silver shot it dead and helped Blaze up.
"Come on", Silver said and ran off with Blaze with the zombie dogs close in their tail.
As they ran, Silver noticed the helicopter leaving.
"Hey! Antoine! Where the hell's he going!?" Silver asked.
Antoine flew off and one of the dogs leapt at Silver, he held his arm up and braced himself for the worse but the dog was shot by Shadow.
"Silver this way", Shadow said.
Silver and Blaze ran towards Shadow's direction, and Rob O' shot at all the other dogs that went their way.
Shadow and Silver assisted Rob O' in shooting all the dogs.
"Head for that mansion!" Silver shouted.
Everyone headed toward the mansion, Shadow, Silver and Blaze were ahead but Rob O' was getting left behind.
Eventually all three of them managed to go through the front door to the mansion.
They all arrived at the lobby of the mansion.
"Is everyone alright?" Blaze asked after panting.
"Rob O'? Where's Rob O'?" Silver asked.
"He's…" Shadow said, not wanting to finish the sentence.
"No", Blaze said worried.
Then the trio heard a gunshot fire.
"What was that?" Blaze asked.
"I'll go and check it out", Silver said.
"It's dangerous going alone, I'll come with you", Blaze said.
"Alright, I will stay and secure the area", Shadow said.
Both of them went through a set of double doors and advanced down the dining room hall cautiously.
They went through a door at the end of the hall then walked toward the end of the room.
At the end they saw two people, one on the floor and the other one kneeling by his side. When they got a good look at the person on the floor, they saw it was Bravo Team's Big J. Sullivan, whose throat has been ripped out, and the person kneeling by him was a zombie.
"Oh my God!" Blaze said.
"What the hell is that?" Silver asked.
The zombie approached the two, and they backed out the room, when they got out they saw Rob O' was in the hall safe and sound.
"Rob O'!" Blaze said in surprise.
"Blaze, Silver, you're ok", Rob O' said.
The zombie came through the door.
"Look out it's a monster!" Blaze shouted, pointing to the zombie.
"Let me take care of it", Rob O' said and grabbed his enhanced Samurai Edge and shot the zombie twice in the chest, and delivered one more bullet to the head, causing the head to explode.
"What the hell is this thing?" Rob O' asked.
"We found Big, killed by this thing, let's report this to Shadow", Blaze said.
"Glad to see you're alive", Silver said.
"Me too", Blaze said.
"I'm lucky, those mutts were hot on my trail", Rob O' said.
They went through the door back to the lobby, but noticed that Shadow wasn't there.
"Shadow!?" Rob O' shouted.
"Where did he go?" Silver asked.
"Help me look for him, let's not leave this room yet", Rob' O said.
Both nodded and explored the area.
Blazed peeked outside but closed the door at the sight of the dogs.
Rob O' examined near the stairs but didn't find anything.
Silver checked an area behind the stairs and saw some gates, when he got close to the gates, he what sounded like feminine howling.
"Wonder what's beyond this gate? Well better not worry about that now", Silver said.
He regrouped with Rob O' and Blaze.
"No luck?" Rob O' asked.
Both shook their heads no.
"What's going on around here? I can't figure it out", Blaze said.
"Same here", Rob O' said.
"What do we do?" Silver asked.
"Let's search for him separately, I'll investigate the dining room again", Rob O' said.
"Ok then, we'll try the door on the other side", Blaze said.
Rob O' sighed, "This mansion is gigantic, we can easily get lost, let's start from the first floor".
"Ok", Blaze said and walked off with Silver.
"Oh I almost forgot Blaze", Rob O' reached into his pocket and grabbed something, "It's a lock pick, you'd make better use of it", Rob O' said and gave Blaze the lock-pick.
"Thanks, I may need it", Blaze said.
"Listen, if something happens, let's meet up in this hall, got it?" Rob O' asked.
"Ok", Blaze said.
"Roger that", Silver said.
Rob O' moved on to the door leading to the dining room, Silver and Blaze tried the door opposite to him.
They saw an art room with a statue, and something in the statue's hand.
"What's that up there?" Silver asked.
"Give me a boost", Blaze said, and Silver assisted her up the statue and she managed to grab the paper out its hand.
"It's a map to this entire mansion", Blaze said.
"This may come in handy", Silver said.
They moved on to the nearest door and entered the main hall.
"This place reeks of death", Silver said.
As they walked down the hall, some dogs came crashing through the window.
"Oh shit!" Blaze shouted.
Both shot at the two dogs.
"That was close", Silver said.
Both continued down the hall and entered a bigger room.
Blaze checked a door but it was locked, so they used the lock-pick to open it, but it just led outside with a fence blocking.
"Not a good area", Blaze said.
They both backed up and Silver saw another door.
"I'll examine this door, you examine the rest of the room", Silver said.
Blaze nodded and checked the door on the other side.
Silver looked in the bathroom and saw a tub of water, out of curiosity; he pulled the plug and waited for the water to drain.
Blaze checked the other door and walked past a empty room to another door and in that room had a shotgun on the wall.
"My lucky day", Blaze said and grabbed the shotgun off.
Back to Silver, as the water drained, a hand popped out the water and startled Silver.
The hand belonged to a zombie that came out the water and tripped as it fell out the tub.
Silver grabbed his knife and stabbed the zombie repeatedly in the head, causing the area to be a little bloody.
Silver felt a little sick and went to the nearby toilet to vomit.
Meanwhile Blaze left the room, shotgun in hand when she felt some rumbling.
She looked up and saw that the ceiling was coming down.
She went to the door out but it was locked, she tried the door in the other room but it was locked as well.
"Oh God, what do I do now?" Blaze said and ran to the exiting door," Silver! Shadow! Rob O'! Help!"
Rob' O actually happened to be next to the door.
"Blaze, you in there?" Rob O' asked.
"Rob O'? Get me out of here, the door's jammed", Blaze said.
"Stand back!" Rob O' said and grabbed his gun and shot the handle, and then managed to open the door in time to see the ceiling coming down over Blaze, "Grab my hand", Rob O' pulled Blaze to safety as the ceiling came down.
Both of them panted and looked at the door which could have been Blaze's tomb.
"That was a close one, a second late; you would have been a Blaze Sandwich", Rob O' said.
"Thanks, but didn't you say you were going back to the dining room to find other clues? I'm glad and all but why are you here" Blaze asked.
"I just had something I wanted to check, anyway we should get back to searching for Shadow", Rob O' suggested and started walking back.
"Thanks Rob' O, I owe you one", Blaze said.
"Don't mention it", Rob O' said and walked off.
As Silver came out the bathroom he saw Rob O' walk by.
"Rob O'? I thought you were investigating the dining room?" Silver asked.
"Yeah, I just had to check something, no big deal, anyway go check on Blaze, she had a near death experience", Rob O' said and left.
Silver was alarmed at the news and ran to Blaze.
"Are you ok?" Silver asked.
"I'm fine, I was almost a sandwich cause of that ceiling but Rob O' saved me, wonder why he was here in the first place though?" Blaze asked.
"Yeah it's odd, but if he wasn't here, you would have been dead", Silver said.
"Where were you anyway though?" Blaze asked.
"Sorry I got ambushed in the bathroom by one of those creatures, and after stabbing it's brains, I kinda puked", Silver said.
"Yeah this stuff is getting out of hand and pretty unbearable", Blaze said.
"I'm still curious as to what Rob O' is doing, let' head back and investigate", Silver said.
"Ok", Blaze said.
Both left the area and were en route back to the dining room area.
