Author: This is basically my sequel to Resident Evil. This is a summary as to the previous games for those who haven't seen, played or read about Resident Evil. You will noticed that it does stray a tad from the actual series, but this will play out in this story plot for a reason.

Rights; Capcom's for anything related to Resident Evil's true nature, but this story and characters (the sequel) is mine.


Introduction:

History Lesson on the Past

Raccoon City. A small, peaceful city visible just outside the vast edges of the wooden forest that stood tall and proud. Silent and safe, this little area had been home to the kind and gentle citizens that were within its boundaries. It was like a breeze; you knew it was there, but its soft caress told only of its prosperity and tranquility and not of its dirty, hidden secrets.

A main pharmaceutical company had been steadily rising in power called Umbrella Corporation, created by three main individuals: Ozwell E. Spencer, James Marcus and Edward Ashford. With the help of Umbrella.. Raccoon City was developing nicely.. but there was a catch. To keep the mayor in office he had to stop the attacks against Umbrella's buildings and equipment by rebellious individuals and minor groups.

With an agreement made between a few certain people the Raccoon City Police Department (RPD) created a small two-teamed group known as Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) and in total they would protect the city and its inhabitants.

S.T.A.R.S. were broken down into two groups, 12 members total, 6 in each: Alpha and Bravo.

Head of the team's, overall, and captain to the Alpha team, was the unwavering, mysterious man called Albert Wesker (skilled at martial arts, mission leader position). Under his uniformed wing, so to speak, were his talented team members, who were: Chris Redfield (co-pilot, sharpshooter, marksman, pointman position). Barry Burton (weapons supervisor, back-up man position). Jill Valentine (B&E specialist, rear-security position). Joseph Frost (maintenance supervisor, omni-man position). Brad Vickers (computer expert, pilot, rear-security position).

Captain of the Bravo team was Enrico Marini (mission leader position). His team included: Rebecca Chambers (chemical expert, bravo medic, rear-security position). Richard Aiken (communications expert, rear-security position). Forest Speyer (sharpshooter, maintenance, omni-man position). Edward Dewey (pilot, rear-security position). Kenneth Sullivan (chemist, pointman position).

It all started in 1998 in the month of May. A series of bizarre cannibal homicides were being reported in the forests of the Arklay Mountains, located north-west of the city. It continued the several months that followed; the attacks apparently from dogs, humans or other creatures. Word of a 'cult' picked up around the city just as the police blocked off the road that led towards the Arklay Mountains, warning the citizens not to enter.

July 23, 1998: S.T.A.R.S. was sent in to investigate the forest, knowing they had to do whatever it took to end the situation. Bravo Team had been sent in first, but something terrible happened; they had to make a forced landing in the forest area due to mechanical problems. As a result communications were cut off. The team split, going in different directions.


On a side note- Rebecca Chambers had stumbled away from the group and discovered the train Ecliptic Express, only to discover that the creatures she had thought weren't real, a frightful bed time story no less, was now a reality and they had taken over the train.

After a little exploration, she teamed up with a man the military police had been escorting to his execution; Billy Coen (former Marine) and together the two explored the remaining train compartments whilst combating the 'zombies', swarms of strange leeches, and a mutated scorpion.

As the train began to speed out of control toward a cliff, the two managed to apply the brakes and divert its course toward an abandoned research and training center. They investigated the underground facility, being forced to defeat experiments, which included mutated insects, primates and spiders.

During their exploration, Billy had revealed that the unit he had been in back in the Marine Corps had been forced to kill the innocent civilians of an African village in the midst of a civil war against his wishes, and he soon found that their actions were based on false information.

Discovery of secret information opened their eyes to a horrible truth that shook them to their very core: the famous Umbrella Corporation had created monsters, ones that they had faced against throughout the entirety of the train exploration. The Progenitor Virus, when combined with the Ebola Virus, created a new strain that, despite being photosensitive, caused rapid mutations.

Once holding hopes of helping the handicapped with this virus' regenerative effects, Ashford was killed before he could achieve them.

Spencer and Marcus began to research, after Ashford's death, on its applications for bio-weapons. Marcus combined it with leech DNA, creating the T-Virus.

Umbrella had given birth, for humanity, the horrors of their nightmares; the walking dead, zombies. Infected, decaying human bodies that could walk, moan, eat and attack, and would later be able to speak and use guns.

Dispatching a gigantic bat creature inside a church, Billy faced off against a T-Virus infected primate. He soon became lost inside an underground laboratory.

Rebecca, while searching for Billy, fought against a released T-100, or Tyrant, a T-Virus infected monster, alongside Enrico Marini, her captain. She discovered Billy washed up on a walkway and together they fight the Tyrant. Eventually they met Marcus, a creature no longer human. Later on it is discovered that he was assassinated by Wesker and Birkin by an order from Spencer. When he was about to die, Marcus' pet queen leech had entered his body and reproduced exponentially over ten years to absorb his DNA and memories to bring him back to life. Marcus proceeded to split into a mass of leeches, before chasing Rebecca and Billy through the facility.

William (not too involved in this whole ordeal) activated the self-destruct system as the Queen Leech, Rebecca, and Billy continued to fight. After being injured due to a brief exposure to sunlight, the monster was paralyzed when the overhead entrance to the laboratory was opened just as the sun rose. Rebecca threw Billy a revolver and he delivered the final shot to the Queen Leech.

As the facility crumbled, the two escaped into the forest and came to a halt on a cliff overlooking the Spencer estate. They saluted one another after Rebecca declared Billy 'officially dead'. Each went their own way, with Rebecca heading toward the mansion to investigate the whereabouts of the Bravo team.


This tied in with what was occurring back at the Police Station because slightly in the middle of this Alpha was sent in to figure out what had happened. They landed quickly after spotting a smoking, burning helicopter, Bravo's, only to get attacked by fleshless dogs. They were forced to enter the Mansion where the team was then separated. Having to discover how to get out, while also fighting off the walking dead, they strived toward the end goal; escaping alive. They discovered the entire Bravo team dead except for Enrico and Rebecca, but a gunshot from the shadows took out Erico before he could reveal the name of the 'traitor' that he spoke of.

The team slowly regrouped down in the labs where Barry was helping Wesker, who is found out to be the traitor Enrico warned about.

Wesker was then knocked out and left alone. He woke up in pain, but didn't make it far until he was impaled by the awoken Tyrant. As the Alpha team and the last Bravo member made their way to the helipad their luck wasn't with them as they were then confronted by the Tyrant. They destroyed it after much wasted ammo and got away in the helicopter that they had arrived in, piloted by Chickenheart Vickers, Brad's earned nickname.

They returned to Raccoon City shortly after, exhausted and emotionally torn, not to mention physically wounded from their struggle.

Brad fled out of fear once back in the city. The survivors Barry, Jill, Chris, and Rebecca stuck together. They believed their ex-captain Wesker to be dead, having witnessed him getting struck down by the large Tyrant, but they didn't stick around long enough to see him rise back up, eyes cat like, a mix of both red and orange colors.


Hired as a police officer for RPD Leon S. Kennedy (rookie cop) arrived in Raccoon City only to nearly hit a stray 'animal', a dog that had dashed across the road in front of his jeep. Upon entering the city he discovered the eerie silence, the empty roads and the lack of life in general. He found people staggering down the sideway, but they soon turned out to be zombies, the city festering with the undead creatures.

Claire Redfield (younger sister to Chris Redfield) zipped into Raccoon on her motorcycle, coming over to visit her brother, unaware of the situation and that her brother wasn't in S.T.A.R.S. anymore and had 'disappeared'.

Claire and Leon meet under dire circumstances, Claire inside a diner surrounded by zombies, slipping out the backdoor and straight into the standing form of a person. Leon ordered her to duck as he shot the zombie directly behind her and the two then headed off toward safety. The two entered the street, but found zombies lumbering toward them in groups. They jumped into a cop car to avoid being eaten alive, heading away from the clustered infected.

Next thing they knew an out-of-control truck was headed towards them, both rolling out of the car just in time as it crashed into the patrol car, exploding. The two were separated by large flames and had to make their own way to the police station.

Claire arrived after awhile, discovering the place in a similar state as the rest of the city; infested with zombies. Claire stumbled upon Sherry Birkin (daughter of Umbrella scientist's Annette and William Birkin) but fled with the young girl when 'Mr. X', a monster after Sherry, made his appearance. It took Claire awhile but she eventually destroyed Mr. X.

Leon encountered a mysterious woman later on, Ada Wong (secret spy for Wesker), and stuck with her for a bit. They encountered the mutated William Birkin and his wife. Ada got hurt by Birkin's claw and got subsequently shot by Annette and fell over the railing. They encountered Sergei Vladimir (Russian head of the paramilitary part of Umbrella).

The city was then about to be wiped off the face of the planet. The end result: everyone who could leave did so. Leon, Claire and Sherry quickly got onto a train with an unexpected guest. Mutated William Birkin. They fought against him and finally ended him, or so they thought, speeding off away from the city, which was destroyed not long after. William's body was discovered miles away from the destroyed city by Wesker, Will back to normal and very much alive. The two vanished quickly into the night.


Three months crept by after Raccoon City's destruction, the S.T.A.R.S. survivors filled with haunting nightmares of what they had encountered. Claire went off in search of her older brother Chris, only to end up in Paris at an Umbrella facility. There she was discovered and had to escape from hired soldiers, but they were too strong.

She was captured by Rodrigo Juan Raval (Umbrella military commander). She was then shipped to the remote Rockfort Island facility, where she was interrogated and imprisoned. Suddenly, she was faced with the chance to escape due to an air raid.

Claire joined with Steve Burnside (another inmate) and together they faced against Alfred Ashford (insane island commander) and Alexia Ashford (Alfred's equally twisted sister). The T-Veronica Virus was created and then used at this island.

They finally managed to escape, only to have been forcibly directed to Antarctica. When attempting to escape the Antarctic Umbrella base, Steve managed to mortally wound Alfred, while Claire successfully dispatched a mutated Alexia.

As Claire and Steve prepared to leave for Australia in a snowmobile, Claire and Steve got attacked by tentacles deployed by a revived Alexia.

Chris and the other survivors of the Mansion remained hidden from detection. A surprise message from Leon told him of Claire being captured by Umbrella. He got packed quickly and headed to Rockfort to save her. Upon arriving he was confronted by a face he had believed to be dead; Wesker.

This was not the Wesker he remembered, as Wesker now possessed super-human speed and strength. Chris learned from Wesker that Claire was already in Antarctica and headed there to rescue her. Chris was reunited with Claire, with the pair attempting to rescue Steve, only to get separated again.

Claire managed to reach Steve, only for him to die a heroic death after saving her from a tentacle. Chris, on the other hand, found his way into a skirmish with Alexia and armed the self-destruct system to regroup with Claire. Chris then successfully got rid of Alexia with a prototype weapon and evacuated the base with Claire.


This led towards the future, the time when Jill and Chris co-founded the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) a counter-terrorism group. Missions rose and fell in the group as it grew and spread across the world.

With Umbrella gone, Chris was sent to Africa to investigate possible Bio Organic Weapon smuggling. News of 'TriCell' skittered about like spiders.

In 2006, after a reliable source gave information in regards to the location of Ozwell E. Spencer, Chris and Jill set off to arrest him at his European Estate. Upon arrival at the residence, the two agents discovered the fallen bodies of Spencer's bodyguards, who appeared to have been viciously killed through physical force. The Spencer estate, which bore a strong resemblance to the mansion in the Arklay Mountains, tested the agents with a series of nostalgic traps and puzzles. After facing numerous obstacles, the two ended up getting separated and then reuniting.

Then they enter Spencer's library.

What they found, in this room, startled them. The elderly Spencer was dead on the floor and Wesker was staring out the window. Chris and Jill opened fire but were easily taken down by Wesker's superhuman strength. With Wesker ready to deliver a fatal blow to Chris, Jill selflessly tackled Wesker (releasing his grasp on Chris) out the window and descended down the cliff side with Wesker firmly in her grasp. A search was conducted by the B.S.A.A., but neither Jill nor Wesker were found and both were declared dead in November 29 of 2006.

Then..

Upon arrival in the Kijuju Autonomous Zone, Chris met his new partner, Sheva Alomar, of the BSAA West African Branch. Together, the two individuals attempted to rendezvous with the BSAA's "Alpha Team", who was attempting to intercept a supposed B.O.W smuggler named Ricardo Irving. However, the situation quickly escalated as their local contact was executed and the pair were forced to fight literal crowds of Las Plagas infested Majini.

Eventually, they found Captain DeChant, the only remaining member of Alpha Team. Fatally wounded, the Captain warned them of Irving's betrayal and gave them a file. Moments later, the two found themselves face-to-face with a bizarre and dangerous creature, seemingly made of leech-like worms. Destroying it, Chris and Sheva send the newly acquired data to HQ, soon meeting up with the BSAA Delta Team. Captain Josh Stone, leader of this team, gave Chris a memory card containing images of research material. Among these was an image of Chris's supposedly dead partner, Jill Valentine. Chris and Sheva searched for Irving, still determined in discovering Jill's fate.

It was during this time that Chris revealed the truth behind Jill's supposed "Death" to Sheva on the boat: In 2006, Chris and Jill were working to track down Albert Wesker. They attempted to gain answers from Umbrella's former President, Ozwell E. Spencer, recently learning of his possible location. By the time they arrived at the estate, however, Wesker had already murdered Spencer, and they were forced to fight. Severely outmatching the pair, Wesker prepared to finish Chris off. Jill, sacrificing herself for Chris, tackled Wesker through the nearby window, and over the surrounding cliffs. Unable to find her body, the BSAA were forced to assume that both had died in the fall.

Chris and Sheva then encountered Irving, accompanied with a mysterious, cloaked woman, trying to get away. The BSAA caught up with Irving's boat. Then Irving had a flashback where the cloaked woman provided Irving with a Dominant-strain Plaga. He used it to try and defeat the BSAA agents. After defeat at the hands of Chris and Sheva, the dying Irving uttered Excella Gionne. With another possible lead, the pair trudged on.

Later it was clear that Excella held a high rank in TriCell, a company similar to the destroyed Umbrella, not to mention her father owned the place basically.

When they came upon the pods seen in the research material, Chris frantically searched a nearby computer for Jill's location. They were forced to fight a huge B.O.W. named U-8 before they could check, and discovered afterward that the pod was empty. Excella appeared and denied any knowledge of Jill, much to Sheva's doubt. When Chris and Sheva encountered Excella again, they were fought off by the cloaked woman who had accompanied Irving. A stray round knocked away her mask, and Wesker made his appearance. The agitated Chris was quickly left speechless when Wesker revealed that the woman was Jill. Chris attempted to reason with her, but she attacked him with a flurry of hand to hand moves and started an intense battle. Wesker arrogantly claimed that he could spare only seven minutes for the pair, and eventually left Jill to handle them.

Chris again called out to Jill, and she attempted to resist the P30 used to control her. Wesker then activated a device, causing her great pain and administering more P30. Jill attacked Chris and Sheva again, and Chris and Sheva worked together to remove the device from Jill's chest that is administering the P30. Chris then cradled the severely weakened Jill and she apologized to them both, stating that she was fully aware of her unintended actions. Ignoring her own state, Jill told the pair to leave her and stop Wesker. Chris objected, but grudgingly agreed when Jill questioned; "Don't you trust your partner?" As they left through an elevator, Jill finally muttered: "You're our only hope to survive this."

Chris and Sheva managed to board Wesker's ship and locate Excella. She fled upon discovery, dropping a case of chemicals in the process. After a brief flashback from Wesker's point of view, Chris and Sheva find the now dying Excella. Wesker then called out over an intercom, casually discarding Excella. Simultaneously, Uroboros burst from her, killing her, and consuming the surrounding corpses. Destroying it, they discovered that Wesker planned to spread Uroboros around the globe with a bomber. Jill then called and informed them of Wesker's weakness: regular doses of serum called PG67A/W. Overdoses would not maintain his superhuman abilities but weaken him, and Sheva realized that the case Excella dropped contained the serum.

After doggedly pursuing Albert Wesker across the wilderness, Chris and Sheva find themselves in the bombers' hangar. Wesker had stocked the plane with enough Uroboros-carrying missiles to infect most of Earth. After combating Wesker in vain with conventional tactics, Chris resorted to injecting Wesker with the serums Excella dropped. This weakened him, allowing Chris and Sheva to fight on more level ground. Wesker was forced to escape with his Jet, but the BSAA team was able to pursue him. He revealed that the bomber was climbing to the ideal altitude for global infection. He was soon blasted out of an airlock by Chris, but managed to grab onto Sheva.

Tortured by the memory of Jill, Chris jumped forward and caught her hand after she lost her grip. Sheva hit Wesker in the face, and he fell into the caldera of an active volcano. The craft itself crashed into the same volcano shortly following.

The two agents were shocked to find a battered Wesker. Arrogant to the last, he plunged his right arm into an intact Uroboros missile, and was immediately engulfed by the symbiont. Chris and Sheva desperately fought the Uroboros-empowered Wesker precariously over a molten battlefield. The heaving volcano caused the ground to crack and melt, sending Wesker tumbling into the magma. Josh, piloting a BSAA helicopter, spotted the pair, and Jill kicked a ladder to them. Chris and Sheva barely escaped as the ground melted beneath them.

Enraged and defiant, even in the face of his own mortality, Wesker attempted one last gambit, snagging the BSAA helicopter with his monstrously mutated left arm. Jill told Chris and Sheva to use the RPG-7s mounted in the rear of the rocking cabin. The two partners then send a pair of anti-tank rockets racing down into the corrupted face of Albert Wesker, ending his life in a cloud of flame and ash, or so they thought.

As the chopper flew away in the final cut scene, Chris remarked: "More and more, I find myself wondering if it's all worth fighting for." He looked at Sheva and Jill and concluded with: "For a future without fear...yeah, it's worth it." The chopper flew into the dawn.


Back in the volcano.. a man in a white lab coat hovered over the beaten, deformed, bloody form of Wesker, his body resting on the large surface of a still-solid floating rock, lava surrounding the strange pair. Smoke rose steadily from the weak man on the ground as the male in white crouched before him.

Wesker raised his head, looking up at the smiling man. "You look like you need help. Here, I can offer just what you need. Don't resist; I don't want to have to get rid of you."Wesker's vision darkened and pain consumed him as he lost consciousness. The last thing he saw was the white coated man standing up with a syringe in his right hand.

With Umbrella, TriCell, Wesker (at least out of commission for awhile) and the threat of the walking dead gone.. the survivors of the zombie nightmare and a few important others.. settled down to enjoy the peace for as long as they could hold it.

Months passed by with no important activities to bother with, a few missions here and there. Reports appeared of two individuals who had started a company together. They called it SEMI, which stood for Silcon Entec Medical Incorporation.

Several years have swept by and the silence still remained. SEMI grew and grew, soon becoming a highly praised organization that helped the United States government by developing new medicine, furthering research of cures for diseases, and upgrading hospitals with new technology. They helped provide new doctors, surgeons, nurses and medical personnel to the work force to help fight the growing threat of diseases.

They created labs and hospitals in many of the states of the US and several in other countries.

They were similar to the once great Umbrella, but far more advanced. They honestly wanted to help humanity. But they were more like Umbrella then people thought. Both had many hidden laboratories and facilities with under-the-table agreements and tasks. Both had their hands in the viral cookie jar.

And when it came down to the fine line... they both created monsters.

And now.. the world has to suffer because of their actions. The world will need people to combat this threat and fate has deemed it ironic to throw the weight onto the R.A.S.P.'s three-set teams from Lichen Aren, US when it becomes time to fight.

R.A.S.P. (Rescue and Assist Security of Peace) was composed of three separate groups, or teams, that occasionally worked together.

There was Fox, Hawk and Iven. Fox and Iven has 7 members while Hawk has 8, all highly skilled in what they do and trained against the harshest tactics and strategies, most being advanced in combat scenarios.

Starting from the bottom, the captain of Hawk was a rowdy fellow named Nicholas Lieght. Most refer to his position as 'third captain'. The captain of Iven was a stiff man named Solilivon Verifire. Most refer to his position as 'secondary captain'. The captain of Fox, and overall commander, was an intelligent man named Sentry Monroe.

The members vary in styles and types in each team. The rest of Hawk's team consists of a medic, scout, hacker, chemist, weapon/vehicle specialist, sniper and a bomb tech/mechanic.

The remainder of Iven's team includes a medic, pilot/gun expert, machine technician, communications expert, and two soldiers/warriors.

The rest of Fox's team consists of a master technician, pilot/bowman, medic/senior doctor, scout/marksman, chemical expert, and a hand-to-hand combat soldier.

The teams are currently blind as to their destiny, and there is a lingering doubt that hardly any will survive til the finale. What is going to happen? Only time will tell. Now it's time to cast the first strings of this woven story and start the tale of desperate heroes. Who will survive to see the end?
