Rise of the Abyss
Disclaimer: Do not own Resident Evil, only the games, such as the original, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil Code Veronica: X, Resident Evil Revelations, and Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D
AN: I'm deciding not to really touch on the flashback scenes and rather the main story because...well really I'm hoping you all are here for the story. I believe we all knows what happens in the flashback scenes. And I'm sorry for missing the main reason of Jill and Parker boarding the Zenobia. That one was my bad. So I'm sorry for that, but I hope that doesn't stop you from reading this! I would also like to thank Revan193 for adding my story to his/her ongoing list of favorites. It still means a lot to me regardless! I also apologize for any spelling mistakes, such as in chapter 1, as I am writing this on my iPod it won't catch everything all the time. I also guess I should be looking for a Beta Reader for this story, and I honestly have no idea how it will work. But I hope you all enjoy chapter 2 of Rise of the Abyss!
Chapter 2: Beauty and the Dummy
I had taken point as soon as I had come through the door my P226 in hand ready to blast anything away. Jill was behind me ready to assist in said blowing away. We had soon spotted a door and Jill had gone up to it before opening the flap and her eyes widened.
"Chris! Chris!" Jill said as she had tried opening the door...only for it to be locked. My God what's with everything being locked on this damn ship?
"Jill, Vincent, what's wrong?" Parker's voice had spoke over our earpieces.
"I found Chris, but he's trapped in a room...he's not moving either..." Jill said fearing the worst.
"There's gotta be a key around here for the room somewhere..." I said as I turned and made a left and had gone through a door. Too many doors on this damn ship too.
"I'll stay up here. You two try and find it." Parker said as Jill sighed and began running after me. I had gone up a flight of steps and through yet another door. Jill's hand had been placed on my shoulder and I turned to look at the winded woman.
"Give...a girl...a break would you..?" She pant and I chuckled some.
"Sorry Jill...I'm gonna go on ahead, you go and catch up when you have your breath okay?" I said as she sighed and nodded. I had continued walking forward and took a left before I came across a door to my left, and a small set of crates in front of me. It looked like they connected, and they probably did, so I sighed as I then stepped back before taking a running start then jump through the space above the obstacle. I grinned as I rolled forward the crates still in the same place. I didn't knock anything down this time. I had continued forward took another left and went through another door...then I heard a scream. My eyes widened as I recognized it to be female as I then rushed down the steps, cringing at the amount of slime in this area, down another flight of steps and saw a woman in one of the creatures hands. I unholstered my magnum, and had fired another round into the monsters head, the woman being dropped, the glass shattering and landing nowhere near her, as I then took a running start and had leapt through the window before coming up and giving a strengthened kick to the creatures chest making it fly back against a wall. Then it had stopped moving and blood came out in a pool. Not even missing a beat, Jill came in through behind.
"Are you okay?" Jill asked as I nodded.
"Yeah...but I'm going to stay behind, and help her okay?" I said as I spied a key on the table handing it to Jill as she nodded.
"Catch up with us under Chris' room when you're done." Jill said as I nodded. She had gone through the window and I looked down to the woman who was barely breathing.
"Okay T...I need your help." I said as I had then felt the virus responding to my request.
(With Jill)
'I hope Vincent can help her...the room looked like a medics office so he should be able to do some minor things...though I'm not sure he can fully help. Shit...I need to go back! He doesn't have a supply kit!' Jill cursed mental before running down the hall again.
(With Vincent)
"What's your name?" I asked the woman kneeling beside her.
"R...Rachael...a-are you an angel...?" She asked as I chuckled quietly.
"I'm not an angel...but I'm going to help you okay?" I said as she nodded, and suddenly I saw these beautiful cerulean blue eyes staring into my own azure blue. I smiled.
"You have to trust me on what I'm going to do though." I said.
"O-Of c-course..." Rachael replied. She had then closed her eyes. My eyes had widened. No dammit! I have to work fast!
"You may hate me for this later...but it's to save your life." I said as I grabbed her knife before bringing it to my wrist and slicing the peach-colored skin open blood already being let out. I heard rushed footsteps and looked up to see Jill. Shit! I placed my wrist against her mouth and the blood had immediately began flowing. Jill had then come through the door and her eyes widened.
"What's-" She started as I then cut her off with a quick hand motion. I had then dropped besides Rachael and closed my eyes and I felt her drink my blood. The good thing about the T-Virus was it could change blood typings to match the receiver. The bad thing is...she may not possibly survive the blood bonding. I then spied the large slash across her stomach and had waited...until new skin began to seal the wound. Rachael screamed in pain and squirmed violently my wrist still against her mouth. The wound then finished sealing and Rachael slowly settled back down and was back asleep. I then sat down beside her panting my wrist sealing up. God that took a lot of energy...and blood...it's a good thing that the virus can rapidly create blood to replace what was lost.
"What was...?" Jill started to ask as I sighed, Rachael snuggling against me as if I was a large teddy bear. I had then run a hand through my obsidian black hair.
"You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone, without my approval." I said my voice taking on a tone that meant business.
"I promise." Jill said and I sighed. As I thought of how to say it. Better to be blunt then.
"I'm infected with the T-Virus." I said as Jill had then gasped a hand flying to her mouth.
"How long...?" She asked and I chuckled.
"Ever since Raccoon City." I said as I sighed internally, and decided to go against my better judgement/judgment (The reason I put this one here is because I don't know which one would be correct and I want to say I've seen both spellings of it) and tell her everything.
"What do you mean "Since Raccoon City"?" She said her jaw dropping. I chuckled.
"My true name is Vincent Alexander Birkin...but after the Raccoon City Outbreak, I became Vincent Tobias Black, dyed my hair black and well...you see the results now. my sister Sherry has the G-Antigen DEVIL, and my father had infected himself with the G-Virus...and had become a horrific monster...I'm surprised at..." I took a moments pause to wipe away the tears that were coming to my eyes. It still hurt, a lot.
"It's okay Vincent." Jill said placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Sorry it just..." I started as Jill just shook her head as if to tell me it's okay.
"We should be getting back to Parker." Jill said as I nodded before standing then kneeling and picking up Rachael. We had begun the walk back and I smiled, knowing someone else accepted me besides my sister. Now...how will Rachael react...? Although, what I didn't know, was that she had been listening the entire time. Speaking of Rachael, it was at this time she began coughing violently and I put her down my eyes widening.
"What's going-" Jill started as I quickly cut her off.
"I don't know! I don't know what's going on...her body shouldn't be rejecting it this bad!" I said panic clearly evident in my voice. She then turned over and begun retching out some...white ooze. This process had continued until a large puddle had been created. So one of the creatures had infected her.
"My...chest hurts..." She mumbled and I chuckled softly.
"Feel better though?" I asked and she nodded. I helped her up as I then handed her a small bottle of mouthwash. The reason why I had this? One of my T-Virus abilities. It mainly consisted of ingesting flesh...and some of them smell horrible, it's no surprise I would have a bottle of mouthwash...or two...or more. She had finished rinsing her mouth and I placed the bottle in a nearby trash can. We had then continued walking back to Parker me taking point, Jill taking the rear Rachael somewhere in the middle.
"So...how long have you known the angel?" Rachael asked. Jill raised an eyebrow as I chuckled.
"You mean Vincent? Well it hasn't been too long, definitely a couple months. This is the first time we've been partnered with." Jill said as Rachael nodded.
"So why do you call him angel?" Jill had then asked as Rachael had gotten a light blush.
"It's like he came down from heaven and saved me." She said unconsciously placing a hand against her stomach, where the slash was.
"We're here." I said as I reached the door and had opened it. We had reached the hallway with Chris' room. Jill had contacted Parker and within a minute Parker was here. Jill had unlocked the door and had kicked it open as me and Rachael took the rear, Parker with her at point.
"Chris...?" Jill said placing a hand on Chris' shoulder. Poor Jill...it was obvious she had feelings for him...just...would he be thickheaded about it? Or does he already know, feel the same, its just no one has the courage to ask? My thoughts had then been cut short as the head of "Chris", had been knocked from his shoulders, almost as if...
"Son of a bitch!" I had said as a gas began pouring into the room. The first to drop was Rachael, still weakened. Then Parker.
"It's time you learn the truth Ms. Valentine, Mr. Black." A man wearing a black Veltro uniform had said as Jill had dropped. And I in a semi-delirious state had rushed the guy...who had knocked me on my ass.
"You bastard..." I said the fight in me slowly leaving.
"You will learn the truth harder than others...even if you do not want to." He said as I spat at him.
"Go to Hell!" I said one last time, before I too had fallen unconscious to the laughter of a madman.
CHAPTER 2 END!
That's all for this chapter folks! I hope you all liked it! And I have a question for you all, besides increased senses, what other abilities should Vincent have? I was thinking of an ability where, when he ingests infected flesh, he could gain a certain ability, such as a Licker tongue. So if you all could review/PM me with any ideas, I'd definitely appreciate it! Thank you all!
