Chapter 13: Confrontation

13:20 PM, 10th May 1995

Alexei glared at the group that confronted him. Tim could see the rest of the group, down in the main hall, looking out from their hiding place. He signalled for them to remain hidden, they did so. Jason returned Alexei's glare with equal intensity.

"So, the U.B.C.S. commander, good, maybe you could answer my questions." He growled.

Alexei shook his head, "Of all the people to betray Umbrella, I never thought it'd be you."

Jason shook his head, "I don't know what you're talking about. You know something about me, so tell me."

Alexei laughed as the others watched the confrontation in amazement. Jason stepped forwards but before he could do anything Alexei spoke up.

"The chairman is going to have a field day with this. That you of all people betrayed the corporation."

Jason stopped and looked at him surprised, "What do you mean, why would the chairman be concerned about me. I work for the company, big deal; I'm not even that high up."

Alexei shook his head, "Please, you are higher ranked than me; our chairman is the only person higher up than you in the company."

Jason stepped back, surprised at this, "What, that's impossible, why would I be..."

"You are the vice-chairman of Umbrella, set to succeed our chairman...Trevor Maxwell."

Everything froze, Jason stared, his eyes wide with disbelief at Alexei's announcement. A flood of memories returned to him as the others reacted in shock to the news.

Finally Victoria protested.

"No way, you're lying, there's no way Jason's related to the chairman of Umbrella, it's just..."

Jason shook his head, "No, he's right...The chairman of Umbrella, is my father."

Seth turned to him, "More memories?" Jason nodded, Anita glared, "I don't believe this, we've been walking around with the vice-chairman of Umbrella, the people behind this incident."

Tim stopped her, "Hey, he didn't know, remember, besides, he was going to turn against them too."

Anita slowly nodded, realizing this was right. Jason stepped forwards again.

"I've made my choice, I never wanted any of this, I set myself against the company. This virus is not going to be my legacy; I am going to be its destruction."

Alexei shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"So be it, let's finish this. One on one."

Jason glared and reached for his gun but Alexei shook his head.

"I seem to recall you had great skills with a knife, let us duel with blades, no range advantage, only raw strength."

Jason agreed and drew his combat knife, as did Alexei, the others stepped back and both men readied their knifes for battle.

Despite the confined space of the balcony both men lunged forwards to attack. Their blade clashed and slide along each other with a burst of sparks, they slipped past each other and spun around to face each other again. Alexei lunged and attempted to drive his knife into Jason's stomach. Reacting instinctively Jason dodged to the side and slashed with his knife, driving a deep cut into Alexei's shoulder. Alexei growled and lashed upwards with his knife, Jason dodged again, getting a shallow wound up his stomach. Ignoring the blood dripping onto the ground from both of them they readied their knives and lunged again. As they watched the fight the others were amazed at the brutal yet elegant combat, both fighters struck, evaded and shrugged off injuries as they found on. Blood was dripping onto the ground, cast off blood covered the wall and their knives were soaked in blood. Anita watched wide-eyed at the aggressive fight while Tim and Victoria were wavering, unsure if they should intervene or not.

"We can't just stand here, they're tearing each other up," Tim said finally, Victoria nodded and added, "Without Jason we don't have a chance of finding the anti-virus or escaping."

Seth however shook his head, "We can't interfere, this is Jason's fight, he knows what he's doing, we just need to have faith."

Tim and Victoria groaned as they found themselves stuck, watching the fight, feeling helpless.

Back down in the main hall the sounds of the fight could be heard. Finally Dylan couldn't take it any longer.

"What is happening out there?" He asked, Myles offered to look and the others agreed.

He looked up and stared shocked as he saw the knife fight.

"No way?" He breathed, Sappira and Katrina stared at him in surprise, Dylan groaned, "What?"

"That guy J, he's fighting the sniper, knife fight."

The others also moved to look up, they stared in shock, seeing the fight and the blood.

"Oh my God," Katrina gasped as both fighters managed to cut each other again before moving back slightly.

Unable to take the sight of the sprays of blood Katrina latched onto Dylan and hid her face in his shoulder; Dylan put his arm around her and comforted her.

"It's okay, it's okay." He soothed as she shuddered, finally she looked up at him and smiled.

"Thanks Dylan...Why didn't I do this sooner?" Dylan looked at her, confused, "What?"

She responded by kissing him, finally accepting his feelings.

Meanwhile the knife fight grew more intense. Finally Alexei attempted to drive his knife into Jason's skull. Jason held the knife back desperately as Alexei attempted to deliver the kill strike. Finally Jason used his knife and drove it into Alexei's unprotected armpit, Alexei roared in pain as Jason then wrenched Alexei's knife out of his hand. With finality Jason used Alexei's knife to slit the U.B.C.S. commanders throat, he dropped Alexei's knife and savagely drew his own out of Alexei's body and stepped back. Alexei grasped at his throat, choked on his own blood before falling to the ground, dead. Jason quickly cleaned and sheathed his knife, Victoria immediately darted over to him and, using the first aid kit she had found and carried with her, she began treating his wounds.

"Really, I'm fine," He complained but Victoria continued to treat his injuries.

Tim walked to the edge of the balcony and called down to the others.

"Guys, it's all clear, the sniper's dead."

The group in the main hall came out of cover, relieved. Anita also stepped over to the edge of the balcony.

"Harry, there's an anti-virus; we'll be able to get that bite treated." She called out; Harry gave a sigh of relief.

Seth meanwhile approached Jason, Victoria had just finished treating his wounds.

"So what now?" He asked, Jason straightened up and was instantly serious, "We find the entrance to that lab. Thanks to him telling me about my Father I've now recovered nearly all my memories...The only thing I still can't remember is the weak points of the B.O.W.s, but I'll remember it, no matter what it takes."

The group nodded and, assured that the rest of the group were safe once more they all hurried across the balcony and opened the nearby door, heading into the next corridor.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
