TADAA! here's ch4! I'm planning on ending this next chapter though. Anyways read, enjoy, review!
"It's about time you got here!" Doom snapped. Hulk appeared behind him and out of nowhere, he charged at Nemesis.
"RAHH!" Nemesis roared charged back in defense at Hulk, resulting in a hand lock as one tried to overpower the other. Nemesis began to get overpowered by Hulk.
"HULK SMASH UGLY MONSTER!" Hulk shouted.
"Nemesis, quit playing around." Chun Li commented, "We're here on important business." Wesker turned and raised an a questioning eye brow, impressed by her seriousness. Chun Li simply smiled at him.
Nemesis nodded to Chun Li in acknowledgment and pushed Hulk away with ease and roared into the air with his arms to the sides in that power demonstration of his. Hulk recovered and charged at Nemesis, only to be sent flying back with one powerful swing of Nemesis' arm.
"Enough you brainless brute!" Doom shouted at Hulk as he tried to charge at Nemesis again.
"What is he doing here, and why is he not back to normal?" Wesker asked.
"Ugh...Ironman had all villains paired up with at least one hero," Doom explained, "and I got stuck with this behemoth. As for why he's not back to normal...I have no idea."
"Hulk not done with ugly monster!" Hulk commented. Nemesis roared in response as a taunt. Hulk was about to charge again when someone jumped in between them.
"Nihao!" Hsien Ko greeted suddenly and waving her hand above her head to emphasize the size difference. Hulk stared at her, confused.
"Anyway," Wesker commented ignoring the scene, "what was the device that was stolen from here?"
"Oh, just a random project I was working on out of boredom." Doom replied, "A Nuclear Smoke Bomb."
"Nuclear!?" Chun Li asked with surprise causing Doom to laugh.
"That is the exact reaction I wanted out of those do gooders." Doom commented, "Yes, this was basically a dud to give them a scare. No real nuclear contents, it's just a giant smoke bomb designed to take the shape of a mushroom cloud when detonated."
"So basically...we wasted time in coming here?" Chun Li asked.
"I would assume so." Wesker replied.
"But why did one of those clones have it?" Hsien Ko asked.
"Hmm...it appears that they took the dud and another high power explosive." Doom commented.
"How...powerful?" Chun Li asked.
"Enough to blow the Helicarrier into little bit and pieces...in theory" Doom replied causing Chun Li to go white.
"I assume you are thinking the same thing?" Wesker asked.
"Chun Li to Helicarrier, any one copy!?" Chun Li shouted into her headset.
"Chun Li? What's going on?" Chris' voice came through.
"Chris, where are you?" Wesker asked though his headset.

Chis was on a dock in New York City buying some fish from the local merchants. Nearby the Helicarrier was hovering over the bay.
"Right outside the Helicarrier, why?" Chris replied.
"GET THE EVERYONE OUT OF THERE!" Chun Li shouted.
"Chun Li, wha- ?" Chris didn't finish his question as the Helicarrier suddenly blew in a devastating explosion that turned it into a giant ball of fire, ramming into the water. The force of the blast sent anyone nearby flying away from the ship, cars flipping, and shattered windows. Several pieces of the ship flew into the air, many landing near or whizzing past Chris. Chris was the first in the area to recover and he ran to the edge of the dock, or what was left of it.
"JIIIIILLLLLL!" Chris shouted as he fell to his knees, helpless as he saw the ship crumble under the force of the impact and its own weight. Chris smashed a hole in the ground, "No. No! NO!"
111111111111111
"Chris? Chris! Chris, come in!" Chun Li shouted, "Damn it!"
"We should've known since we discovered the dud." Wesker commented.
"Who was on the ship?" Doom asked.
"Almost everyone." Chun Li replied.
"What are you waiting for?" Hsien Ko asked, "Let's help them out. Someone must've survived."
"She's right, lets go!" Chun Li replied.
1111111111111
"Jill! Jill! Jill where are you!" Chris shouted as he searched through the wreckage he could stand on. "I'll never find her like this."
"Hey! A little help!?" a voice called out. Chris turned to see Frank stuck between two beams.
"Frank, did you see Jill!?" Chris asked as he helped Frank escape the vice-grip.
"She was in the lower levels." Frank replied, "Hurry, if she survived then she's underwater right now!" Chris didn't hesitate and quickly dove into the water. Frank heard metal crashing and turned to see Dante appear out of a hole.
"Well that was fun." He commented stretching his neck, "Trish, you ok?"
"Well, you were my airbag so I think I'm good." Trish replied with a smirk.
"Dante, help me find the others." Frank called out as he searched.
"Hey!" a voice called out. Frank looked around and followed the voice.
"I need you to speak up so I can find you!" he called out.
"I think you're above me!" the voice shouted. Frank looked down and stomped his foot to hear that the metal slab he was on was hollow.
"Alright, give me a sec, I'll get you out." Frank called out and searched for anything he could use.
"FRANK!" Dante called out. Frank tuned in time to see that Dante had tossed his sword at him. Frank caught it and jammed it into the metal.
"Careful!" the voice shouted.
"Sorry!" Frank replied as he cut a hole in the metal floor. Once he was done the cut out fell in and revealed X-23 half submerged in bloody water. Frank stabbed the sword into the metal ground nearby and left it for Dante while he jumped down. "You ok?"
"Aside from the metal pipe that's jammed into my leg?" X-23 asked.
"I was kinda hoping it was someone else's blood but alright." Frank replied, "We're going to have to wait for someone with first aid...unless you want to risk bleeding out."
"Don't worry about that." X-23 commented, "Just help me get out. The damn pipe is hooked on the end."
"How am I supposed to help you out?" Frank asked.
"Just pull." X-23 replied as she readied herself. Frank hesitated before grabbing her leg.
"This is going to hurt like a bitch you know." he commented. X-23 nodded then closed her eyes as she looked away. Frank took a few deep breaths and pulled with all he had, tearing X-23's leg off the pipe as she screamed in agony.
"Hang on, I'll use my jacket to-" Frank stared in surprise as X-23's leg began to heal. Soon, the only damage from before was on her pant leg. "H-how did-?"
"Long story." she replied out of breath from the pain and her scream.
"You two alright?" a voice asked. Frank looked up to see Chun Li at the opening above them.
"Yeah, has Chris come back yet?" he asked.
"Yes, he just did." Chun Li replied and motioned for someone to come to her. A few seconds later Nemeses appeared beside her and lowered her into the opening to get Frank and X-23.

Chris reached up and, with his remaining strength, pulled himself and Jill on to the floating wreckage. Both began to cough up water as Hsien Ko and Frank approached.
"That's it, just cough it all up and you'll be fine." Hsien Ko commented happily, hitting Chris on the back a little too roughly, while Frank helped Jill cough up water.
"Oof, Hsien Ko! Oof, I think I'll be alright." Chris commented while trying to stop her assault on his back.
"Ok, I'll go find that Iron guy, I'm sure he made it." Hsien Ko replied.
"Is everyone ok?" Chris asked.
"...no...only a few of us made it." Frank replied, "So far anyways."
"Damn it!" Chris shouted while punching the metal. A metal hand caught his. Chris looked up to see Ironman pulling himself out of the water.
"There you are!" Hsien Ko commented as she approached, "You have a nice swim?" Ironman simply groaned.
"How can she be this optimistic?" Jill asked.
"She's just trying to cheer us up." Chun Li explained.
"Or she hasn't thought deeply about the situation to avoid the emotional pain." Wesker commented looking over to see Nemesis putting a hand on Hsien Ko's shoulder, she was hiding her sad face.
111111111111111
"Alright, that's enough searching." Wesker commanded to the others in the room.
"But there might be-" Chun Li began.
"Bits and pieces of the rest to be found?" Wesker interrupted.
"How would you know?" Chris asked, "You never cared for anyone but yourself." Wesker held up an arm...or what anyone could assume was an arm as it was horribly disfigured from the blast.
"Those that we found were lucky to have survived." Wesker commented, "Everyone else was blown away. Now, let's make a recount to add the ones we did find." Chun Li sighed.
"Ok..." Chun Li replied, "Well there's you and me, Hsien Ko, Nemesis, Hulk, Ironman, Doom, Frank, Dante, Trish, Chris, Jill, X-23...and...that's it..."
"What ever happened to that swordsman...Virgil I think he was called?" Wesker asked.
"He...was impaled on some debris...underwater..." Chun Li replied, "...he was...done when we found him."
"Hmm...what a shame." Wesker commented, "He could have made a great test subject.
"Wesker, we don't have time for this!" Chun Li shouted, "Galactus is now free to take Earth because he took out most of us, and all you can think about is your stupid experiments!" Wesker was about to defend himself when Chun Li spun around and left the room.
"Haha, you just got burned by your girl!" Frank commented.
"Don't be ridicules." Wesker replied, 'Although this feeling of guilt is unlike me...'
"Hey, Ironman, didn't you say that this Galactus guy was huge?" Frank asked.
"Yeah, but he shrunk down to hide." Ironman replied, "Most likely to take us out first since we've stopped him before."
"He left us alone when you did that you know." X-23 commented.
"Blame 'the supreme ruler' over here for bringing him in." Ironman replied.
"This was Modok's idea because he couldn't find a power source large enough to keep portals open between our worlds!"
"Hmm...interesting." Wesker commented.
"You know something?" Chris asked.
"We've been fighting with these clones mostly in this world, yet there has been no sign of Galactus." Wesker replied.
"You think he may be in ours?" Chris asked.
"Not think...know." Wesker replied as he left the room.
"Shouldn't we go after him?" Ironman asked.
"Not in the state we're in." Chris replied, "If Wesker really knows where he is, he'll most likely come back wounded...if Galactus is as strong as you say, so we'll have to rest up before we attack."
1111111111
"Hey Wesker!" Wesker turned to see Frank running up to him.
"What do you want?" Wesker asked.
"So you're going after Galactus himself?" Frank asked, "No back up?"
"I don't need back up." Wesker replied.
"What about Chun Li?"
"What about her?"
"Well, you should know that she has a thing for you, by now. Don't go saying that you don't feel the same, because your defensive actions are a dead giveaway."
"I defend no one."
"Exactly, that's why when you defended Chun Li, in the few times you did, It meant something." Wesker sighed.
"Speak of this to anyone else, and I will kill you." Wesker commented.
"No need to get rough, I was just wondering if you were going to tell her." Frank replied.
"...no." Wesker commented, "But I did leave Nemesis with strict orders to look after her...should the possibility, that I don't come back, arise."
"Good luck then." Frank said while extending his hand to Wesker, "In case you don't come back, let me boost your ego. It was an honor to have known a god such as yourself." Wesker smirked at his comment and shook his hand.
"A god cannot die." Wesker commented as he turned and left, leaving Frank alone in the hallway.
"Hehe...not quite the good guy yet, but not much of a bad one anymore either." Frank said to himself while shaking his head, "Can't let you commit suicide now, Wesker."
"Nihao, Frank!" A voice greeted next to him.
"Oh, hey Hsien Ko." Frank greeted.
"What are you doing?" Hsien Ko asked.
"Planning on saving a god's ass." Frank replied laughing to himself. "I need you to get Chun Li and Nemesis, alert the rest to prepare an attack while we launch a preemptive strike, and then meet me at the portal to our world."
