Chapter 13: Hidden Connections

Four days ago (before Ebony fell off the helicopter)...

"What's going on?" the young man said in response to his new surroundings. He woke up on a small building in a large city. "Where am I?" he questioned, his eyebrow raised as confusion swept over his face. He slowly stood up and looked over the edge of the roof to where, to his surprise, he was looking into New York city. "Oh, my God..."

Because he was on the roof, he ran down a set of stairs to the bottom of the building. He quickly found his way out and looked to the front of the building. "No, no, no, no, no..." The name of the new and advanced, high tech weapon facility building was, Parody (review Chapter 3: The Ultimate Gaming Experience)...

"My nightmare visions came true! I'm in Resident Evil 4!"

He began to weep. He never thought his visions would actually come true. He's been seeing them for years...in his dreams. The only reason he knew that his visions were visions was because his dreams and visions felt different from each other. His visions would turn his dreams into nightmares. They were full of greed, betrayal, destruction, but most of all, corruption. He knew that his heart would be in danger, and also, his soul and sanity. Fear overwhelmed him, for there's nothing like knowing what your own future has in store for you, especially if its a destiny you've feared your whole life.

"I can feel the power of the game flowing through me. This unnatural force..." He began to smile. "The power," he began, "...need more... No!" His body began to shake as if he had chills. "Need to stay me, the real me!" His eyes glazed over grey. "No, starting to lose myself!"

As the dark power flowed through him, objects began to lift off the ground. The dusty air swirled around him, growing larger, expanding as his power grew to extremely dangerous levels. Parody's perfectly flawless structure began to crack and weaken in response to the power the young man emitted. It's flawless dimensions were destroyed.

An old woman approached him as he finally gained control of the villianous potential of corruption. He was finally free to be himself once more. As the dust cleared, he saw her walking through it as if it where fog in the night. She wore an old black cloak with the hood of it shrouding her entire head and face. Her hands were very old and wrinkley with many veins surfaced around the back of them. And she held a brown wooden cane of which she used to support her balance. She sounded like she was chanting something as she aproached, but the young man couldn't make it out.

She finally came to a stop in front of him and observed the new stranger. The young man wore a sexy black suit accompanied by a chain around his neck with two crosses and a dragon. It was obvious that these items meant a great deal to him, for they wouldn't be there if they weren't. He was of african american descent with a slender build, brown skin and curly hair. Instead of him wearing black dress shoes with his suit, he wore pitch black boots that looked like they've been through alot. He also wore black leather gloves on his hands that emitted small currents of black electricity. She looked to his face and noticed his glazed grey eyes clear to reveal mysteriously seductive red rimmed halos around his black pupils.

"What shall we call you good sir?" the old woman asked.

"Who are you?" the young man interrupted.

"My name is Jasmine Ola (review Chapter 11: The Seed of Evil), but you shall call me, Vague." She watched as his cautious mind stored the slight bit of information. She noticed the tension in his eyes, as if he had already known her. "Where are you from?" she asked.

"I'm not from around here," he answered untrustingly.

"I see. You royalty where you're from?" she said eyeballing and pointing at his suit.

"No," he replied as he glanced down at his clothes. He then looked back at her and said with worried frown, "Just special..."

The ancient woman smiled under her cloak. She lifted her wrinkled hand and took his from its particular point in space and said, "Come Boy, there's a reason why I came for you."

They left the area from which the mysterious, important young man came and headed towards a village of which can only be assumed to be hers. The village stunk of rotting meat and of the people who lived with it. The stench of village was almost unbearable. The young man saw dead bodies on iron spikes and huts made from the skin of a certain animal. He couldn't recognize from which kind of animal the skin originated. In the middle of the village, there laid a huge fire. This fire was summed to be the source of the foul smell and eventually, in secrecy, he found out why. She lead him to a specific hut and said, "Step in here, Will. We've been awaiting your arrival for a very long time..."

The young man's eyes opened widely. "How you know my name?" His eyes had shown much concern. "Don't I know you from somewhere?"

"All will be explained shortly, Will," she said as she rose her aged hand to point Will in the direction of the hut's entrance. "All will be explained shortly..."

As Will entered, his finger nails began to grow rapidly fast and ripped through his gloves. He hid them from plain view, but as he did, the old woman smiled underneath her dark cloak.

"The Viruses have finally arrived. It is up to me to nourish them...help them grow."

Because the inside of the hut had no fire to light it up, it was very dark. This was very eerie, because outside was very clear and sunny.

"Now, I know who you are!" Will said aloud as he turned around to look back at her, "I've seen you in my visions!"

"Yes...yes, you have," she responded with a whispering tone, "As I've seen you in mine."

"No...no... In my vision, you're the one who hinted me to a very destructive destiny! You turned me EVIL!" Will's veins began to flood with blood, making them rise as his anger did. The ground began to shake and the weather outside began to change. "You tricked me!"

She said one word that he instantly regretted, "Abyss."

The floor underneath him had quickly vanished and he fell into a deep and infinite abyss. In the abyss, there was nothing but evil, unpure energy and when Will fell in, all the evil chaotic energy had been absorbed into him. Eventually, with the abyss being pure evil, he would soon absorb that as well and would be free again. When he comes out, he won't be Will anymore...he will be a plague to all that exists in the game, he'll be...Virus.

Jasmine Ola walked out of the hut and watched the beautiful blue sky turn into a destructive red and black storm; black lightning flashed and the blood filled rain began to flood the village. Jasmine smiled and thought to herself, "One Virus nourished. Two more to go..." She laughed an ungodly laugh because of her selfish success.

She retreated from her village into the black omened forest. It was from there where she had seen her next target in a helicopter that had been struck by black lightning. Jasmine's eyes began to glow a cold white as she grinned at the falling helicopter. She then said the name of her next target, "...Kayla..."
