Chapter 1:Bloody Dreams
Albert for as long as he could remember,was prone to having bad dreams .Not always nightmares because the nightmares had him jumping from his sleep in horror and rocking back and forth .
No,they were just really bad dreams,dreams of bloody murder .
And for some unknown reason he was the one doing these unspeakable acts . . . .well not him exactly .In Albert's mind,it was his guilt of having killed Dr . Marcus coming back to haunt them .
But it couldn't be because these bloody dreams,these murderous thoughts,they gave Albert a high he couldn't describe .
Because in these dreams, he came out .
And Albert could feel through him too .He felt power and helplessness, control and out of control at the same time . and through this pain,this violence,he was free . . .even now,he was having one of those terrible dreams and he didn't scream in horror . . .no,he just enjoyed the show . . .he watched as that horrible thing inside of him did terrible acts .At first he was afraid,afraid of what made anyone act this way,and why he had these monstrous thoughts,but he had become use to them now,to the point it was normal to him
/ . . . .'Cogito ergo sum ' . . ./
The voice said again and he felt his fingers twitching again,felt something shift inside him .Albert was panicking to himself .
Wesker was here now .
He clenched his fists and calmed the feeling of bloodlust .
"Command recieved .Operative Wesker-13 prepapring to interrigate and neutralize targets permanantely ",he murmured .
"Proceed as planned . You know your orders",someone said .
He headed to the bathroom and went to one of the stalls .Inside the walls were several clips of ammunition, combat knives, syringes and viles, razor wire, and several other weapons .Wesker armed himself and flushed the toilet before leaving the bathroom .
As each second passed, anticipation grew .Wesker returned to his post now and approached the door .
"Whoa man, nobody goes on there ", he said grabbing Wesker's arm .
"I know ",Wesker answered .In seconds, he was convulsing and hit the floor .A smirk spread across his lips and Wesker placed his shaded on before throwing open the door .
Wesker came in, locked the door .Eyes were on him, and when he chained the door shut,they knew something was wrong .
He pulled out his sub-machine gun and lit up the room, killing them all without hesitation except that one man .For a brief second, pure elation washed over him as he breathed in the blood and death .The sound a chair falling over fucked it up .
"Who are you?! Please! Please don't kill me! ",the man begged .
"My name is John Doe . . .",he said, reaching into his coat .
"W-what do you want? ",the man asked .
"ZEKE *(1)",he said brandishing a knife .The man had a look of complete horror and helplessness and Wesker enjoyed every second of it .He was now trembling with desire to kill the man in front of him, but he knew he had to wait .Orders were orders and then he could enjoy himself .
Wesker heard the sirens outside and slamming on the door as he scratched 'W-13' into the table in a manner like a man possessed .Then, he turned to eye the massacre before him .
Running now,Wesker was running through the woods and guns fired on him .He was nearly safe when he took a shot to the leg and hit the ground .The sound of boots in the grass surrounded him and then he felt someone step on his back .
"Well,if it isn't the infamous Agent W-13 .Did you really think you were going to get away with something so reckless ? Reckless and stupid!",he said and kicked him in the side .Wesker took the hit with only a wince ,but Albert could tell he was in horrible pain .
"Revolver Ocelot or should I say Adamska . . . .the only person who came this close",he said .
"How do you know me?",he demanded .
"I know a lot of things . . ."
Then ,there was a flash of light,the forest and running again,again and the forest never stopped . . . ./
/ . . .Now,now he was running with the STARS,running for their lives .Albert Wesker was always running for his life,like the universe itself was out to kill him .
"Joseph!"
Gunfire everywhere and the dog leaping towards Jill and he took the shot .
There was nothing that could be done about Joseph now and he was afraid to go and find out .
"Let's split up",he said .Albert would never do such a thing but Wesker would ,Wesker and that one between Albert and Wesker which was was where he was now .
Corpses shambling around ,headed their way .He remembered the years of playing with monsters and throwing up in the sink and the stench and the times he out right froze up and paled and the creatures from his nightmares were all too real .
Find Jill,find Chris,Find Rebecca,find Richard,find . . .
Forest Speyer was already dead .
He saw Kevin and Edwards bodies too .
And Billy . . .Billy was a loose end,tie up the loose ends . . .
The cage slammed and Jill was slumped against the wall .Chris is way too heavy .But he's a fast runner,a good shooter,young too .He had the Stamina that Wesker knew he was losing .
And then that monster,Lisa .The only person he killed out of mercy but she wouldn't die so she wanted his blood .Down the well and Chris is here with him .
'Marini knows,he knows . . .'thoughts racing and the trigger is pulled and he hides in the shadows .
'It's too late,they all know' .
Barry's,here,Jill's here,Rebbeca's here,all alive .
But Chris and Rbecca are there and she has the vest .
Wesker pulled the trigger once again and her small body flies back .With luck she hit her head so hard she won't remember .
And Chris is laughing,laughing so he doesn't cry .Albert is sorry ,but Wesker isn't .Albert reached out and Chris shoved him .They fought,they tussled,one last kiss and . .
Plain as day in his eyes and. . .
"No . . .no I don't love you anymore .I could never love a monster like you!"
The pain . . .the pain the pain . . .then the rage and then the real monster ,the one in the tank . . ./
Albert's eyes snapped open to the sound of an alarm going off .His eyes wandered around and he realized that he wasn't in the Spencer Mansion or in that other place that was only a figment of his imagination .
He was in an Umbrella facility . . .but why?
"No . . . .",fear wracked his very being .He never liked the way they looked at him . . .the way they observed him .
Like he was some specimen .
He wanted to check his body to see if it was all but couldn't .He tried to sit up but felt dizzy immediately after and fell back and hit the hospital bed .It was then that he realized that his hands were bound at the wrists,and he was dressed in a scrub with bandages all over his arms .
They turned him into a monster .He could tell,he just knew he just knew .
And for the first time in a long time,he wanted to cry,
"Punishment for my sins",he said quietly to himself as he remembered blood that would never wash off .He refused to live as one of their things,their creations .Death was the only release .He had to find away to end himself or else . . .
The sound of gunfire in the background startled Albert .That ,combined with the fact that he was dizzy,weak and bound,helpless,struck him with even more fear .He could only pray that they would kill him and nothing more .He was prepared to die .
Like he was at the mansion .
More stomping boots and gunfire .Albert rolled himself out of the bed and landed on his feet .As soon as he did,he felt something tug his pants .He looked down and saw a man with brown hair,a headband that obscured his eyes and a formfitting ,camouflage suit on .He motioned for Albert to shush and get down .The man then pulled a combat knife and cut Albert free of his bonds .
"Who are you?",he demanded .
"Not the time .Somebody tripped the alarm and the place is going on lock down .If you wanna live ,follow my lead,do as I say",he said .
"But I don't want to live .They turned me into a monster!",he said,eyes blazing gold and red .
"Maybe you don't but there are people out there who do .I was sent by Geist",he said .
"William . . .",Albert said to himself .He was suddenly overcome with sheer emotion .Relief ,more than anything ,then calm .If there was anyone who could fix him,it was William Birkin .
William . . .his heart beat at even the thought of him .His eyes smile,his . . .
'Now is not the time for this!',Albert urged himself .
"Okay",Albert said deciding to trust this stranger .
"Good .The enemy fighters are doing rounds and headed this way .I need you to distract them so that I can take them out .Can you do that for me?",he asked .
"Yes,I'm not incompetent",Albert said annoyed .
"From what I heard,far from it .Now get into position",he said .Albert nodded and draped the sheets low on the bed so as to hide the intruder .
Albert hardly had time to think as the USS approached his room .Albert let himself fall on the ground and lie completely still,he smeared a bit of blood on his mouth from one of his wounds and waited .
"What the? Somebody check the patient! We need him alive",a voice said .Foot steps,three people drew near .Suddenly,Albert heard a loud 'thud' and then more thumping,shuffling and the faintest sound of a silencer gun .When he opened his eyes,he was being yanked up by his arm and all three of the soldiers were dead .
"Call me Snake .And while you're at it,grab a gun and let's get the hell out of here .Whoever tripped the alarm wasn't one of us,which means a potential enemy .So let's we have to move fast .Can you run?",Snake asked .
"I can try . . .I'm a bit dizzy from . . .I think blood loss",Albert said .Snake sighed .
"Fine,change of plans .How good are your stealth skills?",he asked .
"That's the first thing the USS taught me ",Albert said .
"I'll take that as a good thing .Grab these uniforms and let's move .We have to search for Agent Wong ",he said .
Albert and Snake quickly changed into the USS uniforms,helmets and all and escaped the room .As they ran down white halls,they stepped over several bloodless bodies on the ground .Just before they reached the end of the hall,Snake pushed open the door of one of the rooms and saw that everyone inside was unconscious and the person he was looking for was gone .
"Damnit . . .wait right here ,keep a look out for guards .I need to check something out",Snake said .
He entered the room and looked around it cautiously .There appeared to be no one in there except for several guards and from the blood and marks everywhere,they appeared to be dead .Frustrated,he slipped on his thermal goggles and surveyed the room one more time .Just when he was ready to give up,something moved .Just as he lifted up his goggles a young girl with long black hair came leaping out at him,metallic claws coated in blood .Before she could get him,Snake caught her wrists ,pinned her down and cuffed her .
"Laura,no!",a voice called .The voice belonged to a white haired boy around thirteen or so,a bit younger than the girl came from his hiding place .Snake noted that one of his arms was in a sling and frowned .
"Are you-"
"I'm Nero .A-are you going to hurt us?",he said,his voice shaky .
"I'm here to help you . . .both of you .Your mother sent me to come and get you",he said .Snake checked Nero for injuries,then came to his arm and . . .
"No!It hurts",he said .
"Sorry little guy .Hurts too bad,I'll leave it be .Just keep that arm safe,okay?",he said softly .Nero nodded ,and Snake tightened the sling before turning on his Codec .
Snake:Hey,Otacon .I found LittleDevil and Albert .What about Wong?
Wong: I'm outside with the rest of the staff .I can't come in now,the place is on lock down
Snake:Great . . .Otacon,do you have the override codes?
Otacon:Yeah,but you have to get to the security room first
Snake:Which one?
Otacon: The central one on the second floor
Snake:Great .I'm on the fifth floor and the situation is pretty bad
Geist: Do you need back up? I've taken care of all the guards in the garage area,so I'm nearby
Snake:No,stay where you are in case they send for back up
Geist:Gotcha
Albert took one last glance and was ready to enter the room when he felt something zip by him .He turned around and saw nothing .Confused,he wnet for the door .But as soon as he opened it,he was snatched away .
"What happened here?",Snake asked .
"The guards were looking for someone,they said something about a little devil or something and then there was this guy in red that ran through they halls and wrecked everything .It moved so fast ,we could hardly see him .I-I left my room to find Nero when the power system rebooted itself .The Guards chased me and I defended myself",she said .Snake noted the bloody claws that were now bound .
"Alright .I need you to stick with me so that we can go .Is that okay?",he said .
"Yes,we can do that",she said .
"Wesker!",Snake called,and walked out into the halls,only to see that Albert was gone .
"Son of a bitch . .",he said .
Albert's body slammed hard against the wall and he hit the floor .
"Where is he?",a voice demanded .
Albert's mask was snatched off as well as his goggles .
"I don't know what you mean",he said confused .
The voice belonged to a tall,strong looking man who for some unknown reason had white hair that did not match his age .He was far too young for it .He wore a red long coat,matching pants and a black undershirt .He had a guitar case on his back which seemed odd,considering the fact that he was currently aiming a gun at Albert's face .
He guessed that whatever was in there was NOT a guitar .And right now,he wished it was .
"This boy,right here .Where is he?",he demanded .
In the picture was a young boy who looked pretty similar to the man who currently had him hostage .
"Your son?",Albert asked .
"Maybe .But that's not the right answer",he said .He pulled the trigger .
The shot hit the wall behind Albert,but he was hardly phased .Instead,a smirk crossed his lips .
"You don't scare me ",Albert . . .no Wesker said .
"Really? Then you don't know who I am",he said .
"And who are you exactly?",Wesker asked .
"Project Sparda .You know exactly who I am",he said .This time he aimed for his legs,but before he could do anything,,Wesker had the man by his arm and took his gun .
"Oh,so we're playing that game?",the red cloaked man said .He rushed Wesker and slammed him into the wall,only for Wesker to break free and kick him in the stomach,sending him flying several feet into a wall and slamming into it so hard that it left cracks .He cracked a grin before heading over to the unconscious man,his gun in hand .He shot him clean through the head and walked off .
The man waited for Wesker to leave before his eyes opened .A smirk traced his lips and he rose from the floor as if nothing happened .He dusted off his jacket and pulled the bullet from his head .And in a flash of red,he was gone .
