Chapter Ten

"So this is the facility Excella was talking about," Sheva stated while the three were walking across the bridge to the other side of the circular room.

"She's got us under surveillance," Chris said. "I can almost guarantee she sent that B.O.W. to eliminate us."

Sheva replied, "You can ask her about that, and about Jill, once we find her."

"Alright, let's find her then!" Chris exclaimed, determined to find Jill.

Evelyn, meanwhile, was thinking, 'How much does Excella Gionne know about me? She wasn't known ten years ago, so she can't know too much about me… But what does she know? And how much of it will she blackmail me with?'

"Evelyn?" Sheva called. "Are you okay?"

Evelyn shook out of her reverie and replied, "Hmm?"

"I asked if you were okay…" Sheva answered, worried.

"Oh, yes…" Evelyn answered with a smile, albeit distractedly. "I'm quite fine, thank you."

The three went through a hall to a room with pipes and a staircase. Chris suddenly stopped the two women and pointed down below to a group of Majini. These Majini were armed with assault rifles. Chris removed his rifle from its holster and took down one of the Majini while Sheva and Evelyn got the other two.

The group continued to fight more Majini as they came in through the door in the room next to the room they were in. Soon, the Majini stopped coming in and the group could move forward. They went through a metal door and into a dark room. This room had several Majini with stun-rods and machine-guns. The three went through another room, fighting even more Majini, and then found an elevator.

Sheva pushed the up button and the elevator soon opened to let them in. As they stood in the elevator, Chris started to pick up some radio transmission.

"…boros has… loaded… Don't worry. The reserve supply is almost ready," a woman said through the static.

"I know that voice!" Sheva stated.

"It's Excella," Chris replied.

"That's… Albert…looking forward…" she said.

"Albert?" Chris growled.

"What?" Sheva asked.

"And how are you holding up, Albert?" Excella asked before the transmission faded away.

"Shit!" Chris exclaimed. "Wesker…I thought he was dead…"

'Hmm…' Evelyn thought. 'Just as I thought…'

Once the elevator stopped and the doors opened, the group saw blood and slash marks on the walls, which meant only one thing: Lickers. They snuck past all the Lickers in the long hallways and finally made it to a door, which led to a large area with conveyor belts below. Suddenly, Majini with stun-rods and machine-guns came bursting out of every corner, hoping to defeat the three humans. They easily took care of all the Majini and found out that they had to go across a conveyor belt to move on.

"Looks like we have to go this way," Sheva stated. After a tiring battle with the conveyor belt going against them, the finally made it to other end. They climbed up onto the platform and then went up some stairs to see a Majini guarding the door. They killed the Majini and both Chris and Sheva had to kick the door in. The room that they were in had another conveyor belt, but this one had explosives lined on it. Chris led the way to the conveyor belt and killed any Majini in the way. The group finally made it to the other side of the conveyor belt and climbed up onto the higher platform. Evelyn saw yet another conveyor belt, and at the end in front of the platform, a container was in the way. She went ahead and pulled the lever, but nothing happened. The three looked around for an explanation as for why the lever was not working and saw that there was no power. So they found a catwalk to their right and searched over there. Eventually they came upon something strange.

"Missiles?" Chris exclaimed.

"Why would they need these do you think?" Sheva asked.

"Maybe they're planning to start a war," Chris suggested.

"No," Evelyn answered, "that's much too laborious and tedious for Albert." Her eyes widened when she realized she said it out loud.

"How well do you know Albert Wesker?" Chris asked her as he and Sheva pulled down two levers.

She shifted uncomfortably and stated, "Newspapers, internet. Not much other than what I've seen and heard."

He made a small noise in his throat and the three turned to go back to the conveyor belt lever. On their way, they heard something shriek, but continued on. They stumbled upon a giant insect B.O.W. called a Reaper.

"What manner of beast is that?" Sheva exclaimed. The three had some difficulty with killing this B.O.W. as its exoskeleton was almost impenetrable. The group, however, did defeat the Reaper.

Chris pulled down the lever for the conveyor belt and it started moving. They looked at it and saw dead bodies littering the conveyor belt.

"These must be the discarded test subjects from the research faculty," Sheva stated, looking at the dead bodies. As Chris went to pass one of the bodies, it reached out for him and caught him by his shoulders. Evelyn helped get it off of him. So the three ran as quickly as they could to the other side of the conveyor belt. Once they got onto the platform, they found a door and pressed two buttons simultaneously to let them in.

Chris led Sheva and Evelyn through a hallway and helped Evelyn down a twenty foot drop. They found some ammo and went through a door, which led them to an observation room. They raised their pistols as the door shuts behind them.

The three made it to the middle of a four-way catwalk when Chris called, "Sheva! Evelyn!" and pointed to a person sitting in a chair in front of them. He was either asleep or unconscious. They made their way towards the person and kept getting closer.

Someone laughed through speakers and stated, "Well, glad you could make it." Evelyn recognized the voice as Excella's. They all looked around for her. "Up here, you three." All three found her straight ahead in a higher room, standing next to the lady in a bird outfit.

"Excella… Where's Jill?" Chris asked.

"Jill, Jill, Jill. You're like a broken record, you know that? Just as single-minded as he said," Excella retorted. Evelyn would have laughed if it had been anyone but Chris in different circumstances. "You've spent so long trying to track down Uroboros, well, here. Enjoy."

The man in the chair got up and his skin started to ripple. Suddenly, black tentacles shot out of his body.

"So Uroboros is a new B.O.W. And you're planning on selling it to terrorists," Sheva guessed.

"Good guess, but no. While it does resemble the B.O.W.s based on the Progenitor virus, I have no intention of selling it to terrorists," she replied.

"Then what are you using it for?" Chris asked. The Uroboros man started to writhe in pain and the tentacles retracted back into him.

"They plan to take over the world," Evelyn breathed.

"Yes, Miss Evelyn. Evolution. It's a philosopher's stone, one that will choose through DNA who shall proceed to the next stage," Excella answered. "My vision and his combined, now made a reality."

The Uroboros man then started to approach the group while Sheva yelled, "Evolution? What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough. Everyone will," she replied, watching the man begin to writhe in pain again. "Hmm… Too bad. Looks like he wasn't worthy. Only the chosen ones are fit for the coming new world." Excella and the other woman left Chris, Evelyn, and Sheva to fight the man.

"Excella! Wait!" Chris yelled. Suddenly, the tentacles shot out of the man again, turning him into a Mkono, which Chris and Sheva had fought before.

An emergency warning spoke over the speakers. "Warning! A biohazard threat has been detected. Clean-up personnel must incarcerate all contaminated materials."

"That's the same type of bioweapon that wiped out Alpha Team!" Chris stated.

"Yes, but this one seems much more ferocious," Sheva replied. Chris and Evelyn noticed explosive tanks around the room and Chris went to push one of them over. Sheva and Evelyn led the Mkono to the tank and it picked it up. Once they were far enough away from it, Chris shot the tank and it made the B.O.W. collapse. They shot at it until it got back up, then they led it to another tank.

They continued the pattern for quite a while. The voice came on over the speakers again and said, "Flamethrower tank is now full. You may resume use when ready."

Chris got the flamethrower and blasted it at the B.O.W. until an orange appendage sprouted from its body.

"That's its weak spot!" Sheva shouted. They all shot at it with their guns until it retracted the appendage. Chris grabbed the flamethrower again and Sheva yelled, "It's up to you! Burn that son of a bitch!" He fired at it, making it writhe in pain. It tried to shoot its arm towards Sheva, but the attack was dodged and no one was hurt.

Eventually, all of the fuel for the flamethrower was used up and the voice said, "No fuel remaining. Please refill tank." So Chris put it up and the three threw grenades at it to hurt it.

Soon, the flamethrower was full and the emergency voice let them know. This time, Sheva grabbed it, yelling, "Burn in hell, you son of a bitch!" After a while, the appendage showed up again, and they shot at it. "That's it! That's its weak spot!" She used up all of the fuel and stated, "I'll refuel it! Hold tight!" She refueled it and shot the Mkono with it until the last appendage came out and they blasted that one off as well, finally killing it.

The Mkono let out a bloodcurdling shriek and fell to the floor, disintegrating into an acrid black smoke. Chris, Sheva, and Evelyn looked at each other and sighed in relief, thankful to have finally killed the Mkono.
