Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Resident Evil.

Author's Note: I figured it had been some time since I spent time into another Resident Evil Fan Fiction. The last one I did, it had mixed reviews which is good I like diversity. However, I have taken the reviews into account really focusing on those areas. As a friendly reminder this fiction takes place after the game Resident Evil Revelations 2 and after Resident Evil 6. Now I have completed Re6 and as for Revelations 2 I haven't completed Moira's or Natalia's side chapter so I'm not taking those into account in this fiction (maybe a little later on.). If you haven't played it then you should probably avoid this fiction for possible spoilers. Now there's only one more thing I that needs explaining and that is as for Leon and Claire as a couple I support it but I'm not against Leon and Ada either. I just want to make that clear seeing as there will be LEMON in this fiction. Feel free to leave a Review and as always. Blades and Knives are welcome. –Kiba Blackfire ^_^

RE8IDENT EVIL: RISING

Prelude:

Fear

Deep beneath Sushestvovanie Island; an island Claire knew all too well or so she thought. Hidden under its surface was a laboratory conducting research for viral weaponry. Sound familiar think again. Unlike most of Umbrella's labs this particular lab had access to every virus ranging all the way from the deadly T virus to the dreaded C virus. The creatures roamed freely through the halls killing any and all trespassers who dared to face their leader and Queen. Alex Wesker, who on top of her unique gifts had the power to manipulate these creatures using her thoughts to guide their every move, making them smarter and deadlier than anyone could have anticipated.

There were corpses scattered throughout the halls of those who dared to reach their Queen. The laboratory was stained with their blood leaving a trail in its wake. The corpses belonged to those that worked for the Umbrella Corporation. These soldiers' were to capture and detain Alex and have her carry on her brother Albert Wesker's work and raise Umbrella from the ashes.

The trouble was reaching her; it was no easy task considering she resided on the lowest floor of the lab and every floor was more terrifying than the next. Even worse once inside there was, no escape. The rules of the game were simple the first person to reach Alex was to be the one to capture her or even kill her.

After fighting and clawing their way through each and every floor; the team entrusted with retrieving Alex and returning to her headquarters. The purpose of this was for further investigation towards curing the young girl who had been possessed by Alex. It was a collaboration mission between the government and TerraSave. It was the team of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield, their two best operatives for the mission. A much needed reunion, for only they were able to see to this mission's success.

The two of them stood across from each other both of their bodies damaged and torn from fighting so many enemies and escaping death multiple times. They had relied solely on each other and their survival tactics but at long last. They were only two floors away from their goal. The first to have ever made it this far; an occasion Alex decided to make an appearance for. She had watched them every step of the way, testing them. The moment they arrived; she had warned them that both of them would die down here. It seemed like an empty threat until now,

"Leon," Claire's voice was shrouded in fear, her entire body shaking; her eyes filled with tears. She was staring at the man across from her line of fire; her handgun aimed directly at his head. It was Leon and no matter how much she fought she couldn't adjust the aim. Alex was controlling her every move. She was using every bit of strength she had had not to pull the trigger but it was being forced on her.

Leon was faced with the same crisis. As much he tried to fight back; his entire body was under her control. He didn't want to shoot Claire especially not if it meant killing her; regardless of his desire to spare his partner, his friend. His finger was still pressed on the trigger of his handgun. He couldn't move it or redirect it eventually he would fire the bullet hit her directly in between the eyes. Her blood would be on his hands. Claire would be dead.

They had held this position for what seemed like hours trying to fight back. She was too strong; their strength was starting to submit to her will. "I can't," Claire shook her head at her partner as her finger started to move. "You're going to have to dodge it." Claire added stilling trying to fight her though it was a losing battle.

"Claire listen," Leon spoke calmly trying to force his body to move for if that bullet shot off. He would die without question. Though it was no use his body was held in place by Alex's control. It would be impossible to dodge especially being held pointblank. "You have to fight it." Claire shook her head he could sense she was at her limit. Sadly so was he, neither of them could fight her much longer. It was checkmate.

"I told you," Alex smiled at them innocently in enjoyment. She increased her hold them her flaring red as she did. The sound of two gunshots echoed throughout the room. The lights in the room faded to black as the young girl disappeared into the darkness.
