Valley of Death

Sequel to 'No More Running'

Leon and Chris led the girls down the hallways that would lead them back to the elevator. But RepliClaire was ready for them, she remotely sealed the doors and started leading them to a storage room. She had a special surprise waiting for them there. Leon's group approached the door that RepliClaire led them to, Chris opened the door and Leon looked in. "Looks dark, can't see another exit. Might as well go in." They filed thru the door, stumbling around in the darkness. Ark started running his hands up and down the wall by the door, trying to find a light switch. He felt a bump and smiled as he flipped the switch. The room was bathed in sudden brightness and a sudden scream from Sherry.

When the lights came on, she had no idea she was standing infront of something. She screamed in terror as she backed up. Everyone else ran over, when Rebecca saw it she screamed as well. Chris's face screwed up in fury. "Oh, my God." Barry breathed as he looked at what was infront of him. Leon shook his head. "Can't be."

It was a large man sized tube. But it was what was inside that bothered everyone.

It was Wesker.

Albert Wesker was suspended in a tube filled with a light blue liquid, a computer console to monitor his vitals sat beside the tube. Wesker looked the same as always but more buff and he was shirtless. Wesker didn't have his sunglasses on him and he had a hose over his mouth, providing him with air. Leon watched Wesker's chest move, taking air in and out. Chris looked over at Leon. "Think we should kill him again?" Leon shook his head. "No. The nukes will take care of him." "The what?!" The girls exclaimed. The guys quickly explained the situation to the girls and nobody bothered to watch as Wesker's tube started to drain of the fluid. It opened with a quiet hiss.

Wesker's eyes shot open. His pupils were gone, there was only blackness there now. He removed the hose from his mouth and stepped down. Yoko finally noticed and started backing up. Everyone saw this and quickly turned around. Leon and Chris brought up their rifles. Wesker smirked as he charged forward and slammed his fists into both of their chests before they could fire off a single round. Both men went flying back into the wall behind them then slid to the ground. Barry brought up his M60 and started firing at Wesker, Wesker dodged each and every shot like it was nothing.

Wesker grabbed the hot barrel and slammed the stock into Barry's stomach then quickly hit him in the face with the barrel. Barry stumbled backwards as well. Everyone else started backing up, their weapons held infront of them. Chris and Leon both groaned as they stood up and started moving, they grabbed Barry and started dragging him back towards the exit. After everyone was thru Chris and Leon locked the door and quickly ran to the end of the hallway, Wesker simply knocked the door down and saw Chris and Leon standing there. He quickly charged again and easily caught up to them, Chris and Leon in turn ran down another hall and took a sharp left. Wesker slowly followed them, he turned the corner and saw they all had their weapons pointed at him.

In that second he realized what was going to happen, everyone had already pulled the trigger. The roar of gunfire was deafening in the small hallway, Wesker's body shook as bullet after bullet hit him in the upper chest. Soon, everyone emptied his or her clips into Wesker's body, he fell over. Chris scoffed. "No way it was that easy." Leon and Chris approached Wesker's prone body, Chris gave him a swift kick in the ribs. Then another and another and another. Leon tried to restrain Chris. "Chris! I don't think he's going to get up again! Not for awhile anyway, now let's get the fuck outta here before he does!" Chris nodded then drew his S&W, he trained the gun on Wesker's forehead and emptied the cylinder. There was nothing left of Wesker's head except the stump of his neck. "That'll slow him down abit."

Leon and Chris were doing their best to try and find their way back to the surface but RepliClaire was making it difficult. She was leading them again but now they weren't sure where. RepliClaire stood in the control room, flipping switches and staring at the monitors. She was leading them to her position, for one last face to face.

RepliClaire called the last of the soldiers into the control room, there wasn't that many of them, 8 at best. RepliClaire took an assault rifle from one of the soldiers. "Nobody fires until I say so! They should be close." The guards trained their weapons on the only door. There was a tense silence until they heard the scuffle of boots outside of the door, several voices were heard talking then silence again. Suddenly the door exploded inward, almost cleaving a guard in half. Chris and Leon entered first, Chris had his S&W in his hands and Leon had his Cobra in his. Chris fired first as he dropped into a crouch, two rounds struck two soldiers in the chest and drove them into the opposite wall.

Leon cocked the hammer back and fired at 2 soldiers, one soldier was hist 3 times in the chest and went down like a sack of cement. The other soldier quickly moved out of the way but was suddenly hit by a family of .45's in the chest and as he turned he got several more in the back. Claire ejected the empty mag from her gun, smoke billowed from the barrel and the ejection port. RepliClaire brought up her rifle, she sighted Claire in her crosshairs, she had a kill shot but she couldn't take it.

Claire slammed the clip home and drew a bead on RepliClaire, who in turn, shook herself out of her stupor and pointed her gun at Claire. Meanwhile Leon, Chris and Barry killed the rest of the soldiers. Both women stood there, guns pointed at each other. RepliClaire lowered her gun first then Claire lowered hers. Leon spoke first. "We found your little science experiment. Why the fuck did you bring him back?! He was going to kill you or whatever." RepliClaire nodded as she shouldered her weapon. "I didn't know that he injected himself prior to his death. God, if I had know." Claire stepped forward. "Known what? Injected with what?!"

"Wesker injected himself with Regenerator DNA. On a massive scale."

Meanwhile...

Wesker's headless body continue to lay where the Raccoon survivors left him, his body twitched every once and awhile. Suddenly bone started regrowing, tissue and blood vessels, skin as well. The holes in Wesker's chest slowly filled in, what was left of the bullets pushed themselves out. Wesker slowly got to his feet, he wiped the blood from his chest. He made his way towards the control room.
