Epilogue:

Three Days later

Ada, Leon, Chris and Jill had got home in one piece, after checking they weren't infected several government officials had given them permission to return to AUCOS's headquarters. The man they had saved, Lucian Adamson, was in hospital making a good recovery, he had offered to join AUCOS after what he had suffered through and they had agreed.

"Hang on" said Leon, currently they were all sat in the meeting room, flipping his phone open he brought it to one ear.

"Hello?" He said "Oh Miss Sanderson" It was the new government official working with them, she was friendly but efficient in getting information across and helping them. "Really?" he said after five minutes. "I'll tell everyone, bye bye"

Several pairs of eyes stared at him expectantly as he shut the phone and looked up at them.

"Marstonville was completely destroyed" Leon said "It was their only option, they let off a few minor bombs in the city but eventually they had to use missiles,"

"That's horrible" Said Jill "Any survivors?" Leon shook his head sadly blonde hair falling into his eyes.

"No" He answered quietly "But Miss Sanderson says there's a lead that points to a large laboratory in England, near where Lilia used to live, she's sending us there, they know that Genevieve's business is connected but they need the proof, so their sending you to get it"

"Ok" said Ada "Great" They really weren't ready for another mission so soon, but if that's what it would take to get their revenge then they'd do it.

All of them were missing Lilia; she had been full of life and attitude and had always been selfless and trusting. And now she had died to save them. AUCOS had plenty of new members and they were growing in strength every day. They would take down the company in time and any others like it. They would do it for the people of Marstonville and they would do it for the people of Raccoon city and any other outbreaks, and most of all they would do it for their lost friends.

The apartment was strangely empty; Lilia had brought life to it thought Ada as she switched on the tap for a glass of water. Ada had always had problems making friends but Lilia had understood her and truly cared for her. The two had got on surprisingly well over the last few years. Sighing Ada turned round as she heard someone enter.

"Hello" She said quietly taking a sip from her glass of water.

"What aren't you going to attack me?" Laughed Wesker, Ada shook her head.

"There's no point, you're not my worry yet, you'll get you comeuppance soon Wesker, but for now Genevieve is our problem"

"Oh" said Wesker "Turns out I'm friends with her again after delivering my samples"

"You're disgusting" said Ada "But it doesn't matter" She added "As is said there are more important things happening now"

"Where's Lilia?" asked Wesker "She normally loves seeing me" He added sarcastically "Has she forgiven me yet?"

"No" said Ada "She never had the chance to forgive you, no doubt she would of though, for some reason she liked you"

"She liked me?" Said Wesker indignantly "But I was never nice to her"

"She thought you might change after everything, I think she still had hope for you after you abandoned us" Said Ada.

"Really?" Said Wesker quietly "And why are we talking in past tense, has she left?"

"She hasn't left so to speak" Ada murmured her face darkening "She's dead, thanks partially to you"

"Dead?" Asked Wesker "How did she die? I didn't know about this…"

"No well you wouldn't" said Ada "Why are you here anyway?"

"I came to see Lilia" He said mysteriously "I had something to give to her…"

"Right" Said Ada "Anyway, she died saving our lives"

"Ah as heroic as ever" said Wesker chuckling slightly, Ada rushed him then and hit him hard around the face with the glass that she still had in her hand.

"It's not funny!" Shouted Ada tears beginning to form in her eyes "She's dead Wesker, get that? Dead, we won't see her again EVER!"

"I…" He started and then fell silent "I'm sorry Ada"

"No you're not" She shouted "If you'd taken us in that damn helicopter we wouldn't have had to go through the tunnel, maybe if you'd been there to help her with that monster…"

"Maybe" answered Wesker "Ada I had no idea, I thought she'd get you out fine"

"She did" Snapped Ada "She got us out just fine, shame she didn't get out, just leave" Ada sat down heavily in the sofa, Wesker stood their awkwardly, he had been looking forward to an interesting confrontation with Lilia, he fumbled with something in his pocket and sighed. Turning on his heel he left to report to Genevieve who had been grateful for the sample, of course he'd have his revenge on her, for his sake and for Lilia's.

The sun was rising over the ruins of Marstonville, not one building was left standing, and everything was destroyed. Just beyond Marstonville was the small hill where the tunnel entrance had been. Underneath that was the tunnel; inside was a scene of chaos, dirt piled as high as the top of the tunnel would have crushed anything. Some men were patrolling the entrance to the tunnel in case any of the things that had escaped had miraculously survived.

"Hey Richie" said Thomas Kingston as he puffed away at a cigarette, "This is a pretty shit deal yeah?"

"Yeah" Agreed Richie who was also smoking, the other hand rested lightly on the top of his gun. "It sucks"

"We have the worst shift ever, working for a fucking bitch" He gestured towards the ruins "If I didn't need the money id run a mile" He added "This place gives me the creeps; there was a whole town here a week ago...I think..."

"Don't think too much" Cut in Richie "Don't wanna blow a fuse" Tom laughed as he threw his cigarette to the ground and stamped it out with his heavy duty boots. His uniform was branded with a simple "S" whilst Richie's had a G written on it; they had been thrown together during the company's merger and sent out here by Genevieve to watch over the city and the tunnel exit.

"What the hell?" Shouted Richie suddenly, a strange noise was coming from the ground a meter or so away, the grass and earth seemed to swell slightly before a hand burst through the dirt. He screamed and fell backwards as another hand clawed through the grass, it scrambled at the dirt, there was some sort of way up from the tunnel out of the ground it seemed as finally a head burst through. The thing pulled itself up from the dirt and finally collapsed on the ground. Richie walked over the gun in his hand; he gently kicked the thing on the floor.

"Is it a zombie?" shouted Tom walking over

"No" Said Richie, "Looks like a person" Before he could react the woman grabbed his gun from him; leaping to her feet like a cat she smashed him round the head with the gun. Tom shouted something and pulled out his gun, before he could pull the trigger he too was knocked out by the butt of the gun. The woman regarded their still bodies without emotion. They worked for Genevieve; she knew that immediately, their uniforms spoke volumes. They were no doubt guarding the tunnel, she knew herself there was nothing left down there, only earth and worms and insects. She had been trapped down there for what seemed forever, unable to breathe she had slipped into unconsciousness, when she had woken she had began to claw her way out. It had taken a lifetime but finally she had emerged from the earth. Finally. Her clothes were torn and she was almost naked, her black hair was matted with earth and dirt and she wasn't sure about much of anything anymore. Her pupils were slit like Wesker's and her eyes had become a darker blue. Her perceptions felt heightened as she heard the screech of a bird a mile away, the grass on her feel felt cool and pleasant. She had escaped from the grave Genevieve had put her in, it seemed she had died down there but the virus had saved her, she was still human she knew that much but the virus had taken over more of her. Walking towards the woods and towards her home Lilia smiled. She would bring down the company, and she would bring down Wesker for leaving her to die. Behind her the sun finally set, tendrils of darkness stretching out into the sky as night fell.
