Chapter 3: The secret of Umbrella – The man of Darkness Albert Wesker!
*Wesker's POV*
"Welcome to the Umbrella Secret Research Lab, unknown to the rest of the world and being in operation since 1998!" A computer voice addressed me; it was ironic that I could hear the voice once again. After all, everyone had originally believed I had died in the Uroboros incident.
This
of course wasn't the case, in actually fact the Uroboros saved me.
The parts of Uroboros absorbed the blast of the rockets, whilst I
managed to escape with the last of the strength I had. Also due to
the virus which changed me in the first place, gave me the heal
powers of the virus which was the downfall of Raccoon City.
T-Virus!
I found myself in the outskirts of Japan, in the city
called Neo Domino. It was the time of the fall of a group known as
the Dark Signers, I had actually been there longer. Supposedly
working under Rex Godwin, the Director of Neo Domino, no one had
heard about me there and I set off to work. Whilst there, I had
discovered the momentum project including the files of the old
momentum project. It was during this time I discovered the truth,
about the last of the remains of Umbrella.
The Old Momentum project was set seventeen years before the events of today, the lead scientist, Professor Fudo, Rex Godwin and Rudger Godwin all had a vision, a vision to process power and cheaper energy to the city. However, during that time the three stumbled across something they sure wished they hadn't.
*Flashback – The Public Security Maintenance Bureau*
Professor Fudo was working late; he was kind of used to doing so but he sure wish he didn't have to. Still it was for the good of his family, so he would work to proved for her wife and new born son Yusei. The momentum project had been his life's work, and it was important to him to make sure it succeeded. The city needed the power and he was going to make it happen. However, something had recently gone wrong with the most recent tests. It was important to him and his two assistances Rudger and Rex Godwin, to find the source of the problem.
All seemed lost; the performance of the momentum was unstable and highly dangerous. If the project continued it would cause the end of the city, and possible the entire country had the power grown further.
"It's no use; we have no choice but to close down the momentum project." Professor Fudo explained to his two fellow assistances.
"You can't be serious, professor! You mean after all of this we have to stop, due to a blip in the system." Rudger replied a small hint of anger rising in his voice.
"It is hardly a blip anymore Rudger, I'm as disappointed as the rest of you, but we have no choice. The project is hereby shut down until further notice." Professor Fudo sighed before walking towards the elevator.
Rudger and Rex followed; it was then that the nightmare began. The elevator had somehow managed to override itself, causing the three of them to go towards a hidden floor. The doors swung open to reveal, the things that even the darkest nightmares couldn't compete with.
The room was a laboratory unlike anything they had seen before. There were many weird creatures among them, mutated creatures beyond the basic mutations. One of the test tubes had what was claimed to be the world's ultimate life form. T-002 Tyrant! Other mutations also had their notes stacked around, Chimeras, Hunters, Eliminators and many more. The one thing these creatures had in common was the fact, that in all there notes was one specific thing. The T-Virus.
"What on earth is this place?" Rex asked his two partners, he was completely taken back by the scene in front of him.
"I don't know Rex; in fact I never knew that such a place existed. However, this could be very helpful." Rudger said a smirk creeping onto his face.
"Rudger be serious, there is no way we can use this. Instead we should burn it, burn it and send it all to hell." Professor Fudo snapped back, he couldn't believe that such monstrosity was underneath the Public Security Maintenance Bureau.
"I see, well for now let's head back and we will worry about it later." Rudger said as he guided the other two towards the elevator.
*The day of the Zero Reverse incident*
Professor Fudo was moments away from dead; he had just released his only son out into the world. So that he would be safe from the disaster that would soon befall the city. He limped slowly on the floor, knowing that he was only moments from death. Alone, cold surrounded by the horrible creatures that Umbrella had created. Death was just as bad as others had told him, it was painful but at the same time cold and uninviting. He wanted to escape death, just like his son but he knew it was futile.
His wife had been his side briefly, before rushing off to find help. No matter what would happen, it wouldn't be long now before the darkness of death would meet him. At that time something fell into his hands, a vile of sorts. He had no idea what was in it, maybe one of the deadly viruses or maybe it was a cure. His mind wasn't clear enough to think things through.
Without thinking he jabbed the needle into his arm, his feeling of a sharp pain flooded his arm. All his normal human feelings seemed to seep out of him, all he could feel was pain. His irises turned crimson red; all that was known to the people that day was that Professor Fudo had died.
*Back to the present day – Wesker POV*
The rumours claimed that Professor Fudo died in the Zero Reverse incident; this however, wasn't the case. The truth is he was sealed inside the lab of Umbrella, the place where I just happen to be. At the moment, he was harmless but if he was to be released it could spell trouble for everyone. The thing in the needle had been the G-Virus, the same virus created by William Birkin an old 'friend' of mine. It was more powerful then the T-Virus which unknown to anyone was already seeping into the city. Soon the Las Plagas would be wiped out for the rise of the bio transformation of people, living dead zombies.
The alarm in the lab had suddenly gone off; I looked down at the monitor in front of me. It appeared I had two small rodents in my presence, looks like I will simply have to exterminate them.
*With Yusei and Aki*
The two Duelists had finally made it to the Public Security Maintenance Bureau. It hadn't been easy, but they had finally made it.
"Yusei, where do you suppose this cure is? Plus are you sure we are safe in here." Aki asked him as she sealed the door behind them.
Yusei walked over to a computer on the desk at the back of the room, "I'm sure we will be able to find it, not to mention as soon as we do we can escape." Yusei replied as he started the computer, "Aki can you open that wardrobe over there?"
Aki looked over, and noticed a wardrobe in the corner of the room. "Sure, ok!" She walked past the numerous side doors, her footsteps echoed on the stone floor. As he opened the wardrobe, she looked surprised. "There's a gun in here, as well as some handgun bullets." She shouted over to him.
"You best take it; you need some sort of protection. I have noticed you looked a bit pale after using your powers, perhaps the Plagas has some kind of effect on you when you use your powers." Yusei said not looking up from the computer.
"Well ok, but I have never used one before are you sure about this?" Aki asked him, as she picked up the gun and inspected. It was the real thing, seemed like she would have to get used to it.
Yusei finally finished typing. "Of course just aim for the head, and if that doesn't work try and delay them so you can run." Aki gave a weak smile; it was true that if in doubt they would have to run. Yusei turned and faced her. "Alright Aki, I think I found the cure, it is on the top floor. There is a lab there which will have it there; if we work fast enough we can make it.
"Alright I got you, oh by the way I found this for you." Aki smiled as she handed a gun to Yusei. "This shotgun will surely come in handy for you, besides I'm sure you could make better use of it then me."
"Thank you, alright should we get going?" Yusei said now equipped with the shotgun, as Aki grabbed the remaining handgun bullets and followed Yusei to the nearest west door.
The two continued to walk down the corridor, windows were boarded up. The walls had moist tripping down from them; glass covered the hard stone floor and the lights kept flicking on and off. The creepy atmosphere didn't make it any better for them; however, there was an elevator around the corner. As the two went around the corner, a pool of blood could be seen on the floor. What made it worse though was blood was dripping from the ceiling.
They looked up, it was a lot worse then they imagined. An unusual monster was on the ceiling, it had clawed hands and feet which was helping it stay up there. It had a full exposed brain on the outside of its head, millions of jagged teeth, and one long tongue probably twice the size of its body. It looked down at Aki and Yusei, drooling all the while. It was clear what it wanted.
"Yusei, I guess I will have to shoot it. Otherwise that thing will kill us." Aki said aiming the gun, at the head.
"Aki, your gun is a bit weak and I think by the time you kill it, we will be dead. I will use this." Yusei replied as he aimed the shotgun at the creature and fired. It feel from the ceiling, and hit the floor hard.
"Wow nice going Yusei." Aki said shocked at how easy it had been. All so they thought, the creature whipped its tongue around and grabbed Aki's leg. Screaming, she shot at the tongue causing it to lose its grip. Yusei fired again at the creature, this time it lay motionless clearly dead.
"Are you okay Aki?" Yusei asked her, she nodded surprised by what had happened but she shook it off. "This is getting even creepier, alright let's take the elevator and find that cure."
Aki nodded and followed him into the elevator. Still on their guard, they were worried about what could be next. To their surprise, nothing happened as they left the elevator. However, they still kept their guns raised as they walked down the hallway to the lab. It didn't take long for them to reach it.
"Alright Aki, look for some supplies. I will look for this cure." Yusei turned to her before entering the lab. The lab had many monitors, with numerous testing equipment and some really odd black machine. Which looked like it would shoot a laser on the table, but at the same time it looked like they could be strapped onto it. Yusei looked at the machinery at the side of it; it was in fact the machine that would kill the parasite out of their bodies.
Aki searched the lab and succeeded in finding some supplies. "Yusei I found some first aid kits, not to mention some shells for your shotgun and some more ammo."
"Good Aki, keep some handgun and how many first aid kits did you find?" He asked her.
"Four, I will give you two and I will take the others, and here this is half the handgun ammo. So that will be enough right?" Aki replied as she handed his share of his supplies.
"Thanks, well this seems to be the machine. One of us will operate it; you should go first unless you want me to test it to see if it is safe." Yusei said.
"No it is ok, I'm sure you will be a better operator then me. Well fingers cross this works." She smiled as she lay down on the table, and strapped herself in.
"Ok Aki, here we go. Let's hope this works." Yusei said as he activated the machine. Some kind of bolts of what looked like electricity, continued to rain down on Aki. She screamed out in pain, but restrained herself. At times Yusei felt that she was going to die, but he kept going until the word terminated came up on the screen.
Deactivating the machine, Yusei ran over to Aki's side. She was panting madly but otherwise she was ok, she looked up at him her eyes only slightly open. Smiling weakly at him, she slowly got up and released herself. When she did she hugged Yusei tightly, she was glad that her nightmare was over.
Someone clapping could be heard, coming from the hallway. "Bravo you found your cure, but I'm afraid I can't let both of you be cured." The man with the sunglasses said, his voice was cold and almost emotionless.
"Who the hell are you?" Yusei asked, he could already tell that this man was bad news. He raised his gun, just in case.
"Me? I'm a ghost of the past, but you may call me Wesker. I heard a lot about you two, you must be Aki Izayoi." He said looking at Aki.
Aki snarled. "What if I am? What is it to you?"
"My, my we sure have great tempers don't we? You are just like the rumours behold bad temper, powerful attitude, and apparent beauty for someone known as a witch." Wesker smirked, as Aki looked shocked at the mention of her formal title.
Yusei frowned, the very impression of this man made him angry. It wasn't that he hadn't just met him, but the way he acted. "You can't just have a go at her; she has had a more difficult life than anyone. So you can't blame her for being curious."
"How noble of you, you must be Yusei Fudo. Tell me, Mr Fudo do you know the truth about your father's 'death'?" Wesker asked him.
"What are you talking about? My Father died in the Zero Reverse Accident." Yusei replied, but part of him was now on full alert. How did this man, know about his father and who was he?
"You poor fool, Yusei I have more knowledge about your father and his assistants then you know. Do you really believe that it ended with the Zero Reverse accident? If so what a pity, your father was involved in the same organisation which is responsible for all of this." Wesker smirked at the look of horror on Yusei's face.
"Shut
up, no one talks about my family like that." Yusei shouted before
firing his gun at Wesker. Wesker dodged the bullet with incredible
speed, before reappearing right next to Yusei. Yusei's eyes widened
as he felt Wesker's foot hit the side of his skull.
Blood fell
from his mouth, as he flew backwards hitting the opposite wall with
terrific force.
"Yusei!" Aki screamed out to him, before attempting to run over to him.
"Not so fast little witch, be patient death will come to you too." Wesker appeared in front of her, she could see through his sunglasses the demonic red eyes. That stared into her very soul. She screamed in pain, as Wesker grabbed her throat. He was strangling the very life out of her; it was like this grip wasn't even human. She was blacking out, her vision dimmer every passing second. She felt herself fly through the air, before hitting a desk in the corner of the room and finally falling unconscious.
Yusei struggled to get to his feet, noticing that Aki had been hurt. He got to his feet and attempted to shoot again, Wesker dodged once again and again when Yusei attempted to shoot again.
"You really are reckless; it is a pity you won't live much longer." Wesker said in his monotone voice, before punching Yusei hard in the gut. Causing Yusei to fly back into the wall and fall unconscious.
"That was a waste of my time. Mind you, I still have things to deal with." Wesker mumbled as he headed over to the machine. He pulled a small device out of his pocket, and placed it on the machine. "Soon this lab will explode and take you both to hell with it, goodbye children." Without another word, Wesker left the room. It was only a matter of time now.
*Later*
"Aki, Aki are you alright? Please Aki wake up." Yusei begged, shaking his female friend gently. He didn't want to lose her, not here. He had worked so hard and he knew that he had to escape with her.
Aki stirred, her eyes at first refused to open, but the sound of that familiar voice made her able to open them. "Yusei..." was all she could get out.
"Aki...Thank God you are ok, are you going to be ok?" Yusei asked.
"I...I'll be fine, but Yusei you still haven't been cured. We better hurry before, he..." She didn't finish the sentence as Yusei pushed her to one side; he rolled to the other as the machine exploded. The lab was soon engulfed in flames, the chemicals on the side exploded. Causing most of the lab to be destroyed in an instant.
"Yusei!" Aki cried out not knowing what had happened to him.
"Aki, I found another way out. Get out and find a way of getting us out of here, I will come and find you after I find a cure." Yusei shouted back.
"Ok but don't you dare die on me." Aki screamed in his direction, before escaping out of the nearest door. She picked up her gun and continued on down the hallway. Her head swimming with thoughts of Yusei, would he be ok, will he find his cure and could they really escape together? No matter what she had to believe in him, he had been through so much for her and now was the time to be strong for him.
She had got to the entrance of the building, it was then something smashed through the window. It was a couple of the people in the city, but something was different. They looked like death had swept over them, their skin grey, their eyes lifeless. Even the way they walked was zombie like.
"No, no way." Aki said weakly, as she raised her gun. The zombies advanced on her, she shot a few of them but they were just coming back for more. "Damn it." She shouted, but it was then she remembered something. "Aim for their head, and if that doesn't work shoot them enough to run!" Yusei's words ran through her head. She fired at one of the zombies heads, causing it to fall to the floor. This time it was dead for good, she reloaded and continued to aim for the head. She was getting the hang of it as many of the zombies continued to fall. She made a run for it, the exit wasn't far and it was possible to escape.
She had almost made it, when a male zombie grabbed her foot. Aki struggled at first; she was worried it would bite her. After a short while struggling and fortunately missing, she kicked the zombie in the head. Causing its head to roll off.
"Gross" She said before leaving the building.
*With Wesker*
Wesker had seen the events that had occurred in the lab, inside the secret lab of Umbrella. "Impressive Miss Izayoi seems you are quite skilled. You remind me so much of Claire, I wonder how the turn of events will play out. As for Mr Fudo, I will deal with him myself." He said removing his glasses, his eyes shone with hatred. "You are all so foolish; soon you will all die in the world I will create."
*Back with Aki*
Aki had only just left the building, when a noise of a gate startled her.
"Izayoi!" Jack's gruff voice came; he was bleeding heavily and was limping badly.
"Jack, what are you doing here?" Aki asked him.
"We are all here, the Signers and Rua. We were brought here by a man in glasses." Jack replied his voice showed great signs of pain.
"Wesker"
"Anyway, you need to escape there is..." Jack started before he screamed out in terror. A new mutant creature appeared. He was much taller than the others, his head looked like it was sown together, his eyes deformed. His mouth was filled with a set of very huge teeth; it wore something like a huge robotic trench coat, and had a set of pink tubes around its body.
Aki gasped in horror at the look of the creature. It was huge not to mention menacing looking, it advanced on Jack. Jack ran before he couldn't do anything anymore. "Izayoi help me!" He shouted, but it was in vain. The creature grabbed Jack and lifted him up, one of the pink tubes that now looked like a vain lunched into Jack's skull. Jack couldn't even scream in time, as this vain practically went in through his head and out his mouth.
Aki turned away, this was horrible and there was nothing she could do about it. "No Jack." She screamed before gasping again, at the sight of Jack being thrown away. He laid there motionless, blood oozing from his head and his entire body.
The creature turned to Aki. It had a look of hatred and anger on its face, like if Jack's death had annoyed it. It finally spoke as it looked back at her.
"Signers"
A/N: Well folks there it is chapter 3; sorry for a huge delay but I have been decided things for my future recently. Anyway thanks for your support, to everyone and I want to clear a few things. YES I know Wesker died in RE5 so please don't point this out, I have given a reason to how he may survive but I know he didn't. Secondly for all the people who will probably ask, I changed it to the T-Virus from Plagas because that storyline is better and I prefer RE2's story, although this has parts of RE3 in as well. Ok anyway I hope you all enjoyed as always nice advice and reviews are always welcome thank you.
Next time: The search for Signers – Ruka's inner turmoil!
