Prologue
Ten years ago, the Umbrella corporation has been working on ungodly experiments for quite some time. Their lives' work is to create life itself and provide some kind of weaponry for the government agencies in the country. The organization resides in Raccoon City; its home place. But unfortunately, a deadly virus escaped the labs and it killed everyone inside the facility. The trouble that followed after that is the people who died in Umbrella, didn't stay dead. Somehow, the viruses reanimated their bodies and turning them into something inhumane. Something horrid and terrifying. The virus turns people into the infected zombies, mutants and B.O.W.s (Biological Organic Weaponry), threatening everything and everybody around them. Once they are killed, bitten or scratched from them becomes sufficient, and that person or animal will ended up becoming one of them. While the incident occurred, Umbrella had to take matters into their own hands. They've plan to fire an atomic nuclear blast on Raccoon City, ultimately destroying any evidence of the outbreak along with the city. That event changed the whole world forever. For years, Umbrella has been associated with bioterrorism all across the globe. Many of the brave men and women did everything they could to try to put a stop to it while others plan to use what's left of Umbrella's resources to fulfill their own evil purposes. From this apocalyptic nightmare, there's some good coming out of it. In 2010, A beautiful B.O.W. name Serenity was the first of her kind to developed with her S virus successfully. Thus, making her gain human intelligence, emotions and compassion. She was taken away from the ruins of Terragrigia by a group of new BSAA cadets and was brought in the HQ for analysis. But instead of killing them, she formed an alliance with the cadets and with her help, they battled other B.O.W.s., even the mighty Azuran. During the fight, Serenity have lost her B.O.W. form and gained a pair of legs later that day. Several weeks later, she joined Chris Redfield's Bravo team along with Belle and Draven Booker who were still alive at the time. Five years later after the events in China, another B.O.W. is born; a super soldier prototype that is more deadlier than the rest. Though he was suppose to help fulfill an evil purpose, he choose to fight against his own kind and the organization he was sworn to serve. He later bonded with a young man named Tony O'Connel whom he saved from the outbreak inside the Umbrella Excel in South Dakota. Tony had given the B.O.W. a name, "Arxenel". Together, they team up with other allies in order to stop Umbrella's plan to overthrow the government and the other world leaders. They all manage to foil the evil plot but Arxenel got killed by the Tyrant Uronos in the process. Since then, the BSAA decided that they should not hold Arxenel responsible for the evil actions of Umbrella. Through Royce's recommendation, Chris Redfield has offered Tony to join his team. Under Chris's wing, Tony had fought against bio-terrorists working for Umbrella for almost years from now. But somewhere deep inside his heart, he knew that he'll find Arxenel again, if Umbrella did happen to revive him back from the dead. And this is exactly what has happened now...
Chapter 1: Recon Mission in Korea
Five years ago, I was just an ordinary guy who is caught in the middle of a terrible ordeal with Umbrella. I honestly have no idea what kind of shit that I have gotten myself into that day. Just as I was about to die in the hands of those monsters, there came Arxenel who saved my life and we became good friends through it all. He completely changed my life when he told me that he loves me like a brother that I never had. We was going to be together forever or we were but then, it turns out that fate wasn't in the cards. Genevieve's dad, the general of the BSAA turned into a Tyrant Uronos and went apeshit on us back in Oxford, England. Arxenel gave his life to protect me so I could live on. I did just that. I lived on, just like I promised him that I would. I am stronger than I ever was and now I'm a BSAA First Lieutenant, fighting alongside with the legendary Chris Redfield and his cousin, Royce Dodgers. Not a minute ago, we have received word that there is a bioterrorist attack in South Korea and we were sent there to eradicate the threat. While we are transported to the eastern country by multiple helicopters, Chris equipped himself into his gear. Royce awaits for him from the deck of the chopper as Chris exits out the door. Then he approached the Bravo team and stood proud like a strong captain.
"Gentlemen! We have our orders from the HQ!" Chris announced proudly. "There is a bio-terrorism activity on the rise in the one part of the city in South Korea. There is a 39% of them that are bio-terrorists and 27% are B.O.W.s assisting them. They are all extremely hostile, endangering innocent civilians who get in their way and they will succeed unless we stop them in their tracks. This is what we're sent here for! Wipe out the threats at all costs and try to stay alive.
Before the BSAA soldiers gear up and take their positions, Chris has one more thing to say.
"But remember this, everyone." he went on with his regards. "You are all heroes in my eyes. We all put our lives on the line for others. But we are not invincible. Not by ourselves to say in the least. But together, we are stronger in brute force. So I have to say that it is my job to make sure that every one of you gets through this mission alive and get the job done!"
"Stay together!" Royce jumps in with the command. "No one gets left behind! Not on our watch!"
"Exactly what Royce says!" Chris said, finishing up his regards. "Now get ready to move out!"
"YES SIR!" the Bravo team complied.
As everybody reloads their weaponry, I on the other hand, is equipping myself up in tactical gear and is now ready to join the others. This just in, Chris came up to me along with Royce by his side.
"Hey, Tony. How are you feeling?" Chris asked me. "You ready for this?"
"Yes sir. I'm ready." I complied as strongly as I can.
"That's the spirit." said Chris as he then pats my shoulder. "You know you don't have to address me as sir. You're my first lieutenant. You can just call me Chris. Cool?"
"Yeah, ok." I responded. "I'm actually anxious about this recon mission. I mean after all, I am working with the BSAA's well known captain and his cousin. It's been an honor to do this."
"I know it is. It's been an honor to have you with us too." says Chris, smirking. "You're really starting to grow on me after all these years."
I smiled back at him. This just in, Royce has received a word from the pilots that we are close to the building on the west front. He inform us of the intel.
"We are near the break point as we speak." says Royce. "We are now awaiting your orders, Chris."
"Alright then, ready the men." Chris commanded.
Royce obliged to his cousin's commands and he goes over to prepare the men on the team. Chris urges me to walk over there with him.
"No matter what happens tonight, you stick with me at all times. Do you understand?" Chris asked me as a captain.
"Yes, Chris." I nodded with strength.
"Good! I'm counting on you." said Chris as he buckles himself on the tight rope.
I too buckled up in the tight rope as well. As soon as the helicopters reach the breakpoint on top of a tall building, we all get to jump off on Chris's command. He gave out his signal to now rope our way down on the roof and we did. With our guns ready in hand, we raided the building from the roof to the seventy fifth floor. Royce led his squad down to three floors below us. I just followed close to Chris as he led his squad further down the eerie abandoned hallways on the floor above. It is way too quiet in which sets in the creepy mood inside of me, enticing me that something is going to happen at anytime. We kept our composure as strong soldiers as we barricade each empty rooms on the floor. When Chris and I enter the last room, suddenly a K'havo appeared out of nowhere and ambush me from the shadows. Chris notices this and he punched the K'havo off of me. He gave me his hand and pulls me up from the ground.
"You okay, lieutenant?" asked Chris.
"Yeah, I'll live." I said to him. "I shouldn't let him caught me off guard like he did."
"Don't be too harsh on yourself, Tony." said Chris, patting my shoulder. "It happens. But yes, do keep your guard up at all times."
"Yes, Chris. Well do." I complied.
We were both about to leave the room but we are not aware of what happens next. One of the men on Chris's team radioed him, informing him that something attack them out of nowhere. Before he can finish his transmission, the radio was cut off followed by a loud ungodly roar. We have to get back to the team and help aid them in the fight. So we both rushed out of the room. In the hallways, there were a large number of K'havos swarming all over the area. They surround us and prepare to attack. We both aimed our guns at the incoming threat.
"Ready, Tony?" Chris asked strongly
"Yes I am!" I complied as I aimed at the ones charging at us.
"Then fire at will!" Chris commanded as he fires at the K'havos.
We fought back against the swarming mutated zombies. Their numbers are overwhelming but we were trained to handle these kind of threats, no matter what the cost. During the fight, Chris is quite impressed of my melee attacks on the K'havos whenever one of them gets too close. Then he does the same. After that, we manage to pull through the terror. Now that the K'havos here are taken care of, we immediately rush over to help the rest of our team. We found them fighting off a tyrant K'havo that is twice the size of the other ones. It nearly had bitten one of the men if Chris hadn't made a quick bold move and punch it's face. I rush to my teammate's side and helped him up on his feet. Then we later received word from Royce that his team is battling the centipede-legged K'havos on the seventy first floor below us. Due to how tough these things are, Royce requested backup. Chris acknowledges the call and he led us to the floors below to aid the squad against the multi-legged K'havos. Upon reaching the seventy first floor, our recon mission has just been compromised by these creepy deformed mutants that were wreaking havoc on the scene. Not only that, there are innocent civilians involved in the crossfire. Chris's team aids Royce's squad in the fight and pushed the K'havos back with our unlimited anarchy. One of Royce's men threw frag grenades at the blade armed K'havos on the far left, instantly killing them. I fired a few rounds on the ones coming at us on the right. When one of them got too close, I took my combat knife out and cut the shit out of them. Chris went over to the far left to help his men. Royce and his men stayed back to square off with the remaining threats. Just as we thought it was almost over, then all of a sudden, I heard a female scream at the end of the hall. I turn to notice that the tyrant K'havo has a Korean woman hostage, using her as a shield in an attempt to escape. We all stood our ground and glare at the gorey beast.
"Damn it! He's got a hostage!" Royce radioed Chris's squad. "I repeat! The hostile has got a hostage!"
There is no time to think on this. If we don't make a move any sooner than later, the woman will be killed on the spot. So without a slightest hesitation, I immediately went after the fleeing K'havo.
"I'm going after him!" I shouted as I dart after him.
"Tony, wait!" shouted Royce as he then radio Chris back. "The hostile is making a break for it! Tony just went after him!"
"Then go cover him!" Chris commanded. "We'll be with you shortly."
Copy that, Chris!" says Royce as he follows me from behind. "Come with me, gentlemen! We got to cover lieutenant O'Connel!"
Royce and his squad went to cover for me while I pursue the K'havo down the stairs. The chase ended on the eleventh floor where I shoot at the K'havo repeatedly. Due to his multiple legs, he was too fast. The woman is screaming on top of her lungs, horrified for her life. The K'havo threatens to slit the woman's neck if I get too close but I didn't. Instead, I remember my training with Chris and Royce two years ago. I picture the image inside of my head, remembering what Chris have taught me when he uses his cousin as a pretend hostage. He told me never to hesitate or else the person's life would be over. Thanks to their training, I have to be wise about this moment. So I aimed my gun at the K'havo's head and shot him dead. His body immediately lets go of the woman. She thanked me for saving her life, even though I still don't understand what she is saying in Korean language and she runs off. Royce and his team had caught up to me, noticing that the K'havo is dead. Royce became impressed of how I've handled the situation.
"You did good, Tony." said Royce, patting my shoulders.
"Thanks, Royce." I replied back.
"Is the hostage okay?" asked one of the men.
"She's safe." I answered him.
"Good job, Tony!" said Royce. "Now let's rendezvous with Chris's group!"
We acknowledge Royce's commands and follow him back to his cousin's team. Along the way, we've encountered thirty-five K'havos that tried to kill us. Not if we can help it. So we fought back real hard. The Korean woman I have rescued, so happens to have a connection with the Korean Military Special Unit. They aided us with ending the bioterrorist threat. They are buying us time to regroup with Chris and his men while they handle the K'havos on each floor in the building. With their help, we regroup with Chris, got what we came here for and annihilated the threat. Just as we all thought it is over, how wrong we were. The bioterrorists knew that their plot will be foiled by the BSAA and the KMSU, so they came up with plan B. There were over fifty-five bombs on each floor, set to detonate at their command. The evidence must be destroyed along with everyone in the building. This is not good at all. Before we can catch a break, one of the dying K'havos has set off the countdown on the fifty-five bombs. I notice the K'havo laughing at us, knowing that we are going to die in here if we don't move fast. After eyeballing the timer on one of the bombs, I immediately alerted Chris and the others. He acknowledges my warning and turned to his men.
"We gotta move!" shouted Chris. "The hostiles has set off the detonating bombs! The whole building is going to blow! NOW LET'S MOVE!"
We all have to get out of there before we ended up getting blown up along with the evidence that we came here for; a blueprint. The KMSU escorted the people out of the building as quickly as they could. Everyone else has gotten out of there safely. Now all there's left is three BSAA soldiers which is Chris, Royce and I whom were separated from our team after the first bomb went off three floors below us. We have to find our way around since we got separated from the other team. So we rush through the building without fail. During the danger, the bombs caused the platforms beneath our feet to collapsed and I nearly fell down. Thank to my quick reflexes, I'd held onto the railings. But for how long? The railings detached from the platforms in a matter of seconds. It won't be long before my luck runs out and I would've fallen into the burning abyss below. I cannot die like this! Not now! Chris and Royce quickly both took my hands before I fall and they pulled me up. We continued running down the hallways in search for the opening exit. Finally, we have found it. Through the hole on the wall, there was a BSAA helicopter waiting for us. Time is almost running out! The bombs reach down to one last minute. Without hesitation to think about our move, the three of us had to make a jump for it and grab hold of the ladder they've thrown out for us. Then the bombs exploded from every floor, destroying the building. Luckily we all made it in one piece. So the recon mission has been complete. We got what we came for; the blueprints from what remains of the Umbrella resources, stop the bioterrorists and get the innocent civilians to safety. Royce came over to my side and patted my shoulders.
"You did great, Tony." Royce said to me. "You kicked ass back there."
"Thank you, Royce." I respond back, thanking him.
Chris walks over to the pilots who is flying the chopper.
"Now take us out of here." commanded Chris. "We are done with this recon mission."
"Yes, sir!" said the pilot, acknowledging his orders as they flied the chopper away from the scene.
Despite of the disaster that followed after our successful mission, I can almost say we manage to pull it off incredibly well. Now the Korean officials had to clean up the mess after aiding us against the bioterrorists threatening their country. While that is going on, little do we all not know that the situation is being observed by an unknown figure from the far off building on the east side of the city. The figure is tall like a inhuman B.O.W.. He has red and black features all over his muscular body, empty soulless eyes, a mouth that can expand twice the size as his head, he has a electrical core strapped on the middle of his bare chest and from the waist down, wore dark gothic military commando trousers made out of carbon meta fibers that are stretchy and flexible so he can move freely. He also wears big black military combat boots to match the dark look. He was observing the incident from afar, knowing that I was involved in the fight.
"Tony..." said the mysterious tall figure. "I just knew it has to be you. I'm coming."
After watching the helicopters fly away, the figure left the scene in order to pursue them. On our end, we were just enjoying the ride as we, along with the rest of the BSAA teams, flew out of the country of South Korea and now heading back to the country of the United States of America.
