Jeck: OH SNAP! A Resident Evil fanfic? We're pretty ballin'!
Rasah: We figured it was time for some kick ass action stories. That and I think Jeck has been itching to write one for a while. Hahahahaaa
Jeck: Jeck likes zombies. I'm secretly preparing for the apocalypse.
Raxsah: Gotta have a Zombie plan. Do you have one? You should.
Jeck: I will now be teaching a class. Zombie Plan 101. It'll help me pay for college. :D
Raxsah: OOOOO! Can I help? I need money too.
Jeck: Jeck and Raxsah Inc. is now running a bunch of zombie classes. Zombie Plan 101. Zombie Safety 101. Surviving the Apocalypse 102.
Raxsah: Hahahahahaaa. Well, if you hadn't guessed, which I hope you have. We have started this lovely little story in hopes of entertaining ourselves, and maybe some others. But mostly for ourselves.
Jeck: We likes the zombies. And we like OC's. Did I mention zombies? :D Raxsah can even tell you, back before she liked Resident Evil, I was all about the zombies. I was like "FUCK VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES! ZOMBIES ARE THE SHIT!" Pew pew pew! :D
Raxsah: Exactly like that too. Which is a little sad. But she is right. Zombies are amazing. Vampires and Werewolves lost their appeal thanks to Twilight. Thank you Twilight… thanks.
Jeck: Fuckin' Twilight. Though, Daybreakers brought vampires back a little bit. Just a tad. But we digress. :D
Raxsah: Yeah, Resident Evil is freaking amazing! I had no idea until I met Jeck just how amazing it was, but it is. And Chris Redfield is just Yummy. :D
Jeck: That's yummy with a capital Y. Leon is pretty hot too. You know, I realize that I sound like a horrible lesbian. First Chris Pine and now Leon Kennedy…
Raxsah: Yeah, but Leon can make women come by just walking into the room. It's not your fault.
Jeck: Worst part? He's not even real! Lol Oh well… that'll change in this story! MAWHAHAHAHAHAHA! This takes place right where the fourth movie left off, with a few minor changes.
Raxsah: Yeah, we're killing off Luther, sorry, we just ain't dealing with him. Freaking annoying M-effer. Cute though… just annoying.
Jeck: Way to spoil it.
Raxsah: Not much of a spoiler. I'd spoil it if I told them that Chris… well… let's not go there. Hahahaahaaaa.
Jeck: Has sex with…? I mean, nothing. Anyway, enjoy the story!
Whispers in the Dark
Chapter 1: This is the New Shit
It had been a long time since Alice had allowed herself to feel at ease. After becoming human again, her sense of security disappeared as well. But as she stood along the side of Arcadia, the salty water lapping at the side of the boat, she felt clam. The wind whipped her greasy matted hair back, forcing Alice to close her eyes. Everything was going to be okay. And then she heard it. It was faint and for a moment, Alice thought that perhaps she was hearing things, but when Claire and Chris' attention turned to the sky, she knew it was not her imagination.
"What is it?" Claire asked, sparing Alice and her brother a look. Chris' gaze never left the sky, but Alice turned to face the redhead.
"Helicopters," she said. Claire was used to these short and sweet answers from the ex-Umbrella officer and nodded without another word.
"How many?" Chris asked in his usual gruff voice. Alice closed her eyes and focused on the sound coming from the distance. Despite being human again, Alice's sense were still as keen as ever.
"At least fifty," she muttered, still focused on the noise. Kmart briefly exchanged glances with Claire before turning back to Alice.
"What are we going to do?" The teenager asked. Chris sighed as he reached for his gun again.
"We just can't catch a break, can we?" He mumbled to which Claire nodded.
"Any ideas?" Before Alice could respond, multiple black dots appeared in the sky. The noise of the choppers was getting louder, catching the attention of many of the white clad people aboard the ship.
"Shit," Alice mumbled. The course of Arcadia was set for the shore, but they would never make it to land in time at this rate. Chris was already in fighting stance, but Kmart and Claire were looking from the survivors on the ship to Alice. She needed a plan and fast.
"Alice?" Claire asked, the panic evident in her voice. Alice's attention was still on the helicopters. Thinking fast, she quickly tossed Kmart her handgun.
"Kmart, get everyone on board below deck. Claire, I need you to man the controls and get us to land. Chris and I will try to fend them off as long as we can," Alice ordered. Kmart and Claire wasted no time in taking off and ushering people to get off the deck.
"You think we can outrun them?" Chris asked, staring down at the determined figure of Alice. She turned and gave him a cocky smile.
"What makes you think we can't?"
Luther stumbled out of the storm drain, memorized by the sight before him. Arcadia. He could hear the dull groaning of zombies behind him, but he just couldn't take his eyes off of it. Did they make it? The boat was moving towards the shore, meaning someone was controlling it. At the strained groan of the zombies behind him, Luther spun around and fired two shots. Both made contact with the heads of the zombies and their bodies crashed to the ground. Luther turned around and gazed upon the large ship before him once again. Perhaps there was still a chance.
Suddenly, the storm drain began to shake. Luther leaned against the side of it, watching in horror as helicopter after helicopter raced towards the massive ship. Every person on that ship was in trouble and Luther had to do something. Perhaps modeling a plan after Alice's actions wasn't the best idea, but Luther didn't care. He released the side of the wall and quickly dashed back towards the unmoving bodies of the zombies while shoving his gun into his baggy sweatpants. He waited for the right moment before he took off running down the storm drain using all the strength his exhausted body possessed. Once he reached the edge, he launched himself into the air, wildly grabbing for something to hold on to. A helicopter chose that moment to fly by, allowing Luther to grab onto the landing skid. The increase of weight caused the helicopter to violently shake for a moment before continuing along on it's path. The helicopter behind it, helicopter 44, noticed the presence of the black man radioed over to the helicopter he was hanging onto.
"Chopper 43, an unknown male has grabbed onto your landing skid," the male said over the radio while starring at the man holding on for dear life.
"What would Alice do?" Luther muttered to himself, noticing the man's gaze.
"Fire upon the target," the man from helicopter 43 replied. Helicopter 44's guns turned to lock onto Luther, who began to swing back and forth. The helicopter bopped once again, just as helicopter opened fired. Luther released his hold on helicopter 43 and landed in the salt water below. Helicopter 43 went up in flaming and flew sideways into another helicopter, taking them both out. Luther hit the freezing water below him as debris rained down above him.
"Did you see that?" Chris asked as one of the helicopter's fired upon another, taking out that one and the one next to it. Alice nodded.
"I did… why would they fire upon their own helicopter?" She mused out loud. Chris shrugged.
"At this point, I honestly don't care. One less we have to take care of," Chris mumbled. Alice nodded.
"You know, it's times like these I wish I still had all those clones…" Alice mumbled. Chris turned away from the helicopters and gave the brunette a skeptical look.
"Clones?" He asked, hardly believing the words coming out of her mouth.
"Hundreds of them," Alice stated. Chris raised an eyebrow.
"They could've been helpful. What'd you do with them all?" Alice shrugged.
"Suicide mission." Chris furrowed his eyebrows as he turned back to the helicopters.
"Great."
"What happened to helicopters 43 and 42?" A woman with short black hair snapped. The pilot of helicopter 1 tried the radio, but they couldn't contact the two helicopters.
"I don't know, sir. Helicopter 44, what happened?" The pilot asked. The black haired woman stood behind him, listening intently.
"There was a black man hanging onto helicopter 43. He told me to fire at the man, but his helicopter moved at the last second," the pilot from helicopter 44 said. The black hair woman hissed angrily and slammed her hand down upon the dashboard.
"Ignore the black man! We're here to eliminate Project Alice and her friends!" She snapped.
"Yes, Ms. Valentine!" The pilot from helicopter 44 replied. Jill sighed before turning to her pilot.
"Take us in," she snapped before heading towards the back of the helicopter where at least twenty men sat, ready for battle.
"Contact in sixty seconds!" The pilot warned them. Jill smiled as she looked over the nervous looking umbrella soldiers.
"You know your job. Come here and do what you're supposed to do," she snapped at the men.
"Any other plans that don't involve clones?" Chris asked. They had seconds before helicopters arrived. Alice sighed, but gave Chris a small smile.
"Nope." Before Chris could respond, the first helicopter opened fire. Alice ducked to the left while Chris ducked to the right, taking shelter behind the side of the boat.
"We need a plan!" Chris cried out, turning briefly to fire a few shots from his sub-machine gun. Alice mimicked his actions and turned to see the helicopters trying to get close enough to land. As if a tiny light bulb turned on above her head, an idea rushed to Alice.
"Try to use them against each other!" She shouted over the rapid fire from over head. Chris nodded, trying to avoid the barrage of bullets flying inches away from his body. Without warning, Alice ducked out from behind the side of the boat and fired at one of the helicopters. Chris tried to follow her lead, but watched in awe as she dived towards the side of the boat and launched herself towards the fleet of helicopters, grabbing hold of the landing skid of the closest one. But she didn't stop there. Before anyone could shoot her down, she swung on the landing skid launched herself to the helicopter next to it. Chris ducked back down behind the side of the boat just as the previous helicopter that Alice was holding onto burst into flames.
"Fuckin' women…." Chris mumbled before jumping up again, his sub-machine gun out and ready. He gave himself a bit of distance before charging towards the closest helicopter. Alice was currently on her fourth helicopter when helicopter 1 turned it's guns to here.
"Target helicopter 16," Jill ordered. The pilot turned to look at her.
"Why?" Jill wasted no time in pulling out her handgun and blasting the pilot in the head. She had no time for questions. She took over his seat and aimed the guns towards helicopter 16 just as Alice made the jump. Like she expected, Alice landed on helicopter 16 and fired. The helicopter went down, but it was taking the brunette ex-project down with her. Alice felt the impact of the blast hit the machine above her and tried to swing to the next helicopter, but couldn't get the momentum as she plummeted into the salty water below. Alice resurfaced and looked at the Arcadia, frowning when she saw the remaining helicopters preparing to land aboard the deck of Arcadia. She quickly swam to the ship, knowing that Chris couldn't hold off all of them by himself. No matter how good he was.
Chris was going to follow Alice across the helicopters, but decided to let her do the insane stuff. Instead, he took refuge behind one of the many doors leading down below. He aimed carefully and managed to kill five pilots with headshots through the windshield of the helicopter. His victory was short lived however when a helicopter landed to his right on the deck.
"Fuck," he mumbled, fumbling to reload his sub-machine gun. Men poured out of the black helicopter like sand slipping through a person's fingers.
"Chris!" Chris jumped slightly as his sister appeared behind him. Her arms were wrapped around a shaking Kmart.
"What happened?" Chris asked, his voice hushed. They didn't have much time before the soldiers forced their way into the ship.
"All those aboard Arcadia… they're all…" A sickly moaning suddenly cut Claire off.
"We don't have time for this," Chris mumbled. Claire nodded as she pulled Kmart closer to the door.
"Our only chance is getting to our boat," she declared. Chris looked down at Kmart.
"What's wrong with her?" He asked, noting her uneasy breaths and pale complexion. Claire shrugged.
"She's not one of them, so she's coming with us." Chris nodded as he peeked out the crack of the door. Soldiers covered the deck of the ship as another helicopter landed.
"Alright, we've got to get out there. Hundreds of soldiers sound a lot better than hundreds of zombies," he decided.
As quickly as she could, Alice swam to the side of Arcadia. Over head, the form of a black helicopter flew over the deck of the boat.
"They're boarding us," she hissed, cursing their luck. She pulled herself into the boat they used to travel to Arcadia since it seemed like the only way out now.
"Running away?" A voice asked. Alice whirled around, her guns at the ready and a glare on her face. Once she realized who the voice belonged to, she dropped her arms back down at her sides. A bald black man hoisted himself onto the boat and stood next to her.
"Jesus Christ! Luther… I thought you were dead," she said with a relieved sigh.
"I almost was, but I couldn't let you guys have all the fun," he said wrung out the front of his shirt.
"How did you get out here?" Alice asked in disbelief as she looked at his disheveled soaking wet clothing.
"I hitched a ride and swam the rest of the way out. I saw your little stunt back there…" He said, gesturing up at the helicopters. Alice looked up and noticed that none of the remaining helicopters had noticed that she was still alive.
"Jealous?" She asked without turning her attention away from the sky.
"Actually, that's exactly how I got out here," he told her with a smirk. Alice tore her gaze away from the helicopters and rolled her eyes.
"Listen, we don't have time for this. Chris, Claire, and Kmart are still up there with about a thousand uninfected people," she explained. Luther's eyes lit up at her words.
"You mean Arcadia was real?" He asked excitedly. Alice nodded, but didn't share his enthusiasm.
"Kind of. Listen, we have more important things to worry about right now," she snapped.
Chris wasted no time in leading his sister and the suffering teen out on top of Arcadia. With zombies at their heels and soldiers down their throats, he decided that he almost missed his cell back at the prison. He wasted no time in wiping out his gun and showered the Umbrella soldiers with a rain of bullets. A soldier rushed him on his right and he lowered his gun into his left and proceeded to punch the man square in the face, shattering the glass covering his helmet. Claire had a handgun in one hand while the other helped support Kmart and pull the blonde along. Kmart was all, but howling as something seemed to crawl beneath her skin.
"JUMP!" A voice rang out. Claire fired off a shot before turning to look at Chris who nodded.
"They'll kill us if we take the ladder," he agreed. Claire nodded.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to keep her afloat," Claire said, gesturing to Kmart writhing on her knee. Chris fired off a few more rounds before turning to his sister.
"Trade you," he said, passing her his sub-machine gun and picking Kmart up into his arms bridal style. Before Claire could object, Chris took off running with the blonde girl wrapped tightly in his arms. Claire turned back to the soldiers and tried to keep them covered.
"CLAIRE!" She heard as Chris pushed himself off of the side of the ship. Zombies pushed their way onto the deck of Arcadia, distracting the soldiers trying to kill them. Claire wasted no time in taking off in the same direction her brother had, not wanting to waste the opportunity she'd been given. She never even looked back as gun fire roared overhead until she reached the edge of the ship. She jumped up and leap over the side, letting gravity do the rest as she fell into the icy depths below. Claire resurfaced and a familiar voice rang through her ears.
"Glad to see she could drop down and join us." Claire looked up to see Luther helping her brother out of the water. Alice had already taken Kmart away from Chris and was in process of helping her.
"She passed out when we hit the water," Chris informed her, noticing her gaze lingered on the blonde.
"She'll be okay?" Claire asked as she swam towards the boat. Alice looked up and nodded.
"I'll make sure of it," she swore. She knew full well what was wrong with the unconscious teenager, but didn't mention it. There was a time and place for everything.
"Let me give you a hand," Luther said, holding out his hand for the redhead. Claire took his head as Chris headed over to the engine of the small boat. Gun fire and the continuous groaning filled their ears, but the fighting was far away at this point.
"Thanks," Claire said as Luther hoisted her into the boat. He smiled at her, which the redhead returned, before a loud shot rang through the air. The smile on Luther's face fell as a black bullet hole appeared on his forehead. His body collapsed and fell off the side of the boat. Alice looked up to see the figure of a familiar person holding onto the ladder on the side of Arcadia, a handgun in her hand. How could Alice ever mistake those short black locks for anyone else?
"Jill…" She whispered in shock. Chris turned around to see a woman with a handgun pointing at his sister.
"CLAIRE MOVE!" Chris shouted. The woman smiled and fired, but the shot missed. Alice lunged from her spot and tackled Claire, the shot barely missing her temple. Alice was on her feet, her guns ready before Claire could even blink.
"We meet again, Alice," Jill said with a sneer, dropping down onto the small hunk of wood floating next to the ship. Alice didn't flinch as the wood creaked under the newly added weight. She noticed a shining red spider machine attached to her former friend's chest. Umbrella had gotten her too.
"I can't believe it," Alice hissed, her guns never wavering from their target. If given the chance, Alice would not miss.
"Come on, Alice," Chris warned her, noticing a few zombie tumbling over the side of Arcadia.
"You might want to listen to your boyfriend, Alice. Shot me," Jill encouraged, raising her own gun. A shot was fired and Alice was gone. Despite her human status, the ex-soldier still knew how to fight. She was on the hunk of wood within the blink of an eye, but Jill had been excepting her. After fighting alongside Alice for years, Jill knew how the brunette worked. She knew her fighting style, her strengths, and her weaknesses. With the power of the metallic spider on her chest, Jill was a fighting machine. So when Alice threw her first punch, she wasn't surprised when Jill deflected and countered it with a swing of her own. Alice ducked and charged, but Jill sidestepped it and kicked, trying to hit Alice in the face. Alice rolled to the side and tried to kicked out Jill's feet, but the Umbrella soldier jumped and kicked herself off the ship.
"Chris, we need to get out of here," Claire said, turning to her brother. Chris nodded.
"But what should we do?" He asked, watching Alice engage the stranger. Claire turned to look at Alice before turning to look at Kmart. Even unconscious, she still had a pained expression on her face.
"Start the boat and bring it around. I hate to say it, but fleeing is our only chance and Alice's too," Claire told her brother. Chris didn't need to be told twice. Alice realized that her fight with her former friend was useless, but she couldn't give up. Not with her friends' lives in danger. Alice ran towards the ladder at full speed and kicked off the side of the boat, charging towards Jill. The black haired villain had not expected the attack and was hit full impact. She hit the water seconds later while Alice full back down upon the hunk of wood.
"ALICE!" Claire called as she pulled next to the brunette fighter. Alice jumped into the boat without a second glance at Jill.
"Let's go!" She cried out. Chris steered the boat back towards the shore and they were off. Jill resurfaced and watched the boat pull away.
"Damnit…"
"What the hell happened up there?" Alice asked as she cradled Kmart's head. Chris spared his sister a look before turning back to steering.
"They were injected with the virus while they were held captive. I don't know why Kmart didn't become one of them," Claire mused, noticing the look Alice kept giving Kmart.
"I know," she statement. Chris raised his eyebrow.
"You do?" He asked. Alice brushed a piece of blonde hair out of Kmart's eyes and motioned to Chris.
"Give me your jacket," she order. Chris nodded and quickly slipped out of his S.T.A.R.S. jacket before passing to Alice. She took the jacket and covered up the teen.
"Alice?" Claire asked, watching take care of the teenager. Alice sighed.
"She's bonded with the t-virus," she told them. Chris and Claire exchanged looks of confusion.
"What does that mean?" Chris asked, unsure of how the ex-project knew such a thing.
"It could mean a number of things. She could become our worst enemy, or our greatest ally," Alice explained. Chris nodded and turned back to steering the boat. But Claire wasn't completely impressed with the brunette's answer.
"And how do you know that?" She asked, pushing Alice for more answers.
"Because I once bonded with the virus myself. I was Umbrella's greatest weapon, but ultimately their strongest enemy," she told them, while watching Kmart sleep. Chris stroked his chin at her words.
"You said once? You were? Does this mean…?" He trailed off, but Alice nodded.
"I'm human again."
"This will work," Claire said, walking up to an SUV. Chris nodded and walked up as well, checking inside the car to make sure nothing was in there. When both were satisfied, Chris began to hotwire the car.
"Alice, here," Claire said, opening up the door and letting her carry the unconscious Kmart into the car.
"Alice…" Kmart breathed. Alice sighed and placed the jacket firmly around her.
"She'll be alright, right?" Claire asked. Alice looked at her before looking back to the teen.
"I hope so… we just need to wait and see." Claire nodded and sat in the front when her brother got the car working.
"Alright, where are we headed?" he asked, looking back at Alice.
"North, somewhere the Virus can't go, and far away from Umbrella…" she said. Chris nodded and looked to Claire, who took a deep breath.
"You alright?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, let's go…" he nodded and quickly sped off, keeping an eye out for any zombies that might have been hiding.
"How long do you think before Umbrella finds us?" Chris mused aloud. Alice glanced up from Kmart and frowned.
"Who knows. Let's just hope that we find somewhere safe before we can answer that question."
Jeck:
Raxsah: Oh snap… we'll have to fix that. Isn't this exciting? New story, setting up an awesome plot, and we haven't even introduced the characters.
Jeck: Well, our characters. We have introduced some of the characters. Man, I'm so excited! :D
Raxsah: OMG Me too! I'm really liking the writing of this story. It's fantastic. :D
Jeck: SO MUCH FUN! Zombies and sex and alcohol and… it's like our previous story, but with zombies! :D
Raxsah: I know, all the action and sex and alcohol. Man, almost makes me wish my life was that exciting.
Jeck: My life is that exciting. I lead a double life. My alter ego, *can't reveal the name or else I must kill you*, has a pretty sexy time all the time!
Raxsah: She should invite me to these sexy times. I'm severely lacking in sexy times.
Jeck: Sure thing, babe. I'll let her know. You might have to change your name and lead a double life though. Think you can handle it? :3
Raxsah: Oh, babe. I'm a woman. I can handle anything. Just like I can make anything fit.
Jeck: Well then, I'll see you later. ;D We should probably give our readers a chance to review. Unlike our last story, we have barely started this one. So we don't know everything that happens and we open to suggestions/ideas.
Raxsah: Yes, feel free to tell us what you think should happen. Well… maybe not this time, maybe later. Might want to see who the OC's are before anything else.
Jeck: They'll be along shortly. Charlie is off having sex, so we can't introduce her this time. :D
Raxsah: Hahahahahhaaaa, I love Charlie. Don't worry you guys will meet her. She's awesome.
Jeck: Yes indeedy do! Until this… ZOMBIE SEX FACE! :D
Raxsah: Till next chapters, my lovelies.
