Resident Evil: Legacy

Prologue

"'The rising need for a trustworthy company has been met.', says new CEO of Umbrella Corporation Charles Trent. The news hit last month in the media when the business tycoon recently resurfaced after almost ten years of seclusion. Former CEO and founder of the company, Ozwell Spencer died six years ago to the day that the announcement was made, and the BSAA foundation has only retorted with one reply."

The news reporter flicked on a screen next to her, the satellite feed showing a rather slim woman, her pale skin contrasting sharply with her blonde hair. Within her blue eyes broiled rage….an understandable rage… "Hello, Miss Valentine, you are live on CNN. You were previously stating that the renewal of the Umbrella Corporation was an 'outrage.' Is that you true feeling on the situation?" The woman on the opposite side of the feed nodded, pushing back a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Indeed it is. The Umbrella Corporation was dismantled for a reason… The destruction caused as Raccoon City was unforgivable, and we are not going to stand by and watch it happen again.." The new reporter looked down at her notes, then back at the screen. "Agreed, but that was under former CEO, Ozwell Spencer. With factions such as you BSAA, we should have no problems keeping the newly rebuilt company in line. Also as a gesture of good faith, the company has also donated several million dollars to restore Raccoon…have you been made aware of this?" Jill's face ran cold, her jaw tightening. It was more than obvious that the

PR had left that particular information out…

"No, I was not made aware." The reporter shifted, a hint of a smile gracing her thin mouth as she realized the upper hand was hers. "Then the rumors were not true that you and your partner, Chris Redfield, would be petitioning against such an act." Once again Jill remained still, the shock settling in the back of her mind, but not quite registering upon her face. "No, what we are petitioning against will be the license renewal of the Corporation….The BSAA took down Tricell last year for unauthorized bio weapons testing, and we are not about to have the very company who started this…flesh genocide to become a contracting buy out in local homes once more. I have fought the industrial war for quite some time, and am not about to back down now. My comrades and I feel the same…and we can tell you, we won't stay quiet for long." The reporter directly shot a disbelieving look at the camera, her eyes becoming larger as each word left Valentine's lips.

"So you are saying, that even though the new company will only be dealing with medical research should be stopped?" Valentine smiled a wry smile, her eyes looking tired and worn. These younger people….they did not have a clue what happened to the small town of Raccoon…no one did unless they were actually there. "I'm saying that this is the same old song and dance…that was their cover last time, and so it will be again. But everyone is too blind to see that Umbrella will always be Umbrella…no matter whose name is behind it." The reporter shifted uncomfortably, looking at her superior who was behind the camera. The man waved frantically, telling the computer room to end the feed. But beforehand their were formalities of course.. "Ahh..thank you, Miss Valentine, for you statement… We wish you well in your…quest for justice…now onto other news.." The screen went blank brieftly, but flashed back on from the other end. "Wait…I have one thing to say." The newsroom was aghast as Valentine uttered the next few words that would be spread across the world on live news. Facing the camera straightforwardly, the woman addressed her deadliest enemy yet…

"I don't know who you are, and we have only met once, but I know your patterns. I will not stop, I will never stop until every trace of Umbrella is wiped off the world like a dirty smudge. Are you watching this, Trent? I hope so…because I'll be saying the rest of my words to you in person…. I will destroy Umbrella….and all of its Legacy…..
