Chapter Twenty Eight

The pain assaulted his neck far worse than any he had felt before. His eyes squeezed shut as he struggled against the unseeable force that gripped into his throat. Wesker would have screamed in agony as the woman ripped into his jugular with her bare hands, but his windpipe was being crushed. Wild eyes were wide and furious as he slammed painfully into the wall ten feet behind him. Blood seeped down his shoulder and arm, causing the man to stiffly turn his head to look at the already healing gash mark. A small smirk curved at his lips, even as Angelica's balled up fist smashed into his face, shattering his sunglasses into his flesh. The pieces slowly pushed up as she wailed upon him, her hands moving with renewed vigor and speed. Positioning his leg behind him, Wesker kicked off the wall, the force sending them spiraling into the midst of the room. The both of them struggled within the speed warp, the smoky outlines of their body disappearing and reappearing in different areas. Curling her body backwards as he slammed his hand into her side, Angelica grunted audibly as the snap of ribs was heard.

Skidding away from him, the woman held her side, throwing her long hair back. Heaving in pain, she stumbled upwards, wiping the bloody smudge from her lips. Wesker stalked a few feet away, tightening his gloves. Sliding his gaze to the ruined leather of his coat, the irritated man shrugged off the article of clothing. "You have ruined my favorite jacket, dear heart.. Leave while you still can.." Angelica straightened her back as her wounds closed, her lips quivering. "You bastard… give me back my daughter.." Wesker hissed against his teeth, baring them visibly. "You mean OUR daughter, Angelica.. the one you have kept from me and attempted to make… human…" Angelica's eyes flew wide at this statement, her hands balling in fury. "It's the only way she can live…" Pausing, Wesker adjusted his collar. The stained skin upon his neck flashed red against the pale, making the woman before him quiver. She wanted to spill more… she wanted to kill him..

"We could make a way… we could keep her alive.. she would not have to be… that.." Slowly Angelica realized what the father of her child was saying. He would rather put his daughter through every test…every possible idea before succumbing her into being just a regular human. He despised humans… that greatly.. that he would turn his daughter into a living test tube before… before..

Lunging for his throat once again, Angelica's small frame was met by something that felt like God ripping a hole through her core. Wesker had placed his left hand rigidly forwards, his fingertips becoming like a spear… And she had just rammed herself upon it. Frothy liquid began to spew from her mouth, his eyes becoming wide as he realized what his reflexes had done. Choking as she spoke to him, Angelica's body jerked and twitched. "Y…you have to come t..t.. understand… her humanity will make her more powerful.. than..t..ttt..the both of us." As the woman's eyes lolled back, Wesker could feel her body pumping furiously to keep itself alive. Withdrawing his matter covered hand in shock, her stood over as her body fell to the floor. Even as she crawled towards him, he felt a horror rise in his throat. She wasn't going to stop..she would never stop until he killed her..

"MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!"

The cry filled the hangar bay like the shrill shattering of glass. Both parents looked up to the gang plank of the plane, and both were horrified at what they saw. Upon the on-ramp stood their daughter, her eyes wide and streaming full of tears. Within her face was a terror that neither one had seen in a child… or a rage.. Pieces of the room began to crack as another scream rose in the child's throat, the bodies of the guards beginning to float off of the floor. Wesker rushed forwards in fear, bolting as fast as his body would push. The sprint was stopped quickly by the invisible barrier the child had thrown up, the field sending him flying painfully backwards into the nearby wall. It bent from the force. Crawling up, Wesker touched his forehead, the stick crimson smudging his fingers. His blood..his daughter had hurt him..and….

On purpose…

….

"DUCK AND GET TO COVER!" Leon dodged a piece of shrapnel that whizzed by. Ada ran past, slamming herself against an empty hummer side. Her eyes were wide and scared, her hands gripping her handgun like a life line. "What the hell is going on! It's like the whole place is falling apart.." Leon peaked out long enough to dive back next to her, his blue eyes narrowed and his face pale. "Looks like Angelica and Wesker are having a family reunion.. things are getting ugly, sweetheart. We've gotta get Jill out of here and to safety or they are gonna take us down with them.." Ada slowly nodded, her lips trembling. Leon watched her, his heart feeling strange and hollow. She had once been the woman of his dreams… But time had proven her dreams and his were not the same.. Yet when he looked into the brown orbs.. he felt the past seeping back into them.. A stiff hand slapped his shoulder as Ada motioned him on, her lips still turned in a deep frown. "Come on , Kennedy. Let's get the hell out of here so we can finish that fight of ours later.." Leon smiled as he reloaded his weapon, vaulting after her. Some things never changed…

…..

"Oh god, Jill.." Tears sprang into Redfield's eyes as he moved around the tank that held his wife. She was in a skin suit, most of her body fitted with tubes and wires that were keeping her alive within the liquid. Sheva was guarding the doorway, but managed to look back at the man she viewed as a partner… Chris.. he looked so tired and aged when he pressed his forehead to the glass, the wrinkles about his eyes more defined in the light. He traced his fingers against the condescension covered glass, wishing he could be touching the hand of his love instead. Shaking his head, Chris growled. " How the hell do we disable this thing?" Sheva shook her head as she looked back once more, her eyes wide. "We can't…remember what Angelica said? If we do that, Jill could lose the baby and die.. We have to get out of here WITH the tank."

Redfield sighed, leaping over to the main area of the plane. Sheva followed, keeping her sights trained to cover the back. As they made their way deeper into the plane, Chris whistled. "Jesus… Umbrella is really stepping up the quality of these things.." Slowly they entered the empty pilot's cabin. Sheva holstered her weapon , her sienna hues narrowed as she trailed her fingers across the plethora of switches and knobs. Looking down at her as Alomar slid into the seat, Chris raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to fly one of these things?" Sheva grinned devilishly, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint. "I told you back when we first met, Josh Stone taught me everything I know..including how to pilot an aircraft...Speaking of which." Sliding on the headset, Sheva began to fiddle with the various buttons upon the top console. Smiling deeply at herself, the woman finally spoke loud and clear. "Copy HQ… the Fox is in the Hole.. we need air clearance for Raccoon City for no fire..repeat we need air clearance for Raccoon for a no fire..copy.." Static crackled briefly before the familiar voice of McNeil blasted over the radio. "ALPHA TEAM! WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Redfield chuckled as he took the co-pilot's ear piece. "Nice to see you too.. listen, we are having some problems here and need air clearance.." Slowly the voice on the other side growled. "Affirmative..get your asses out of there, Redfield. That's an order…and Red,field…" Chris stood patiently waiting, breathing heavily in excitement that he was going to get to safety soon.. "Yes, Sir?" McNeil's voice sounded ragged and worried, but there was a hint of amusement.

"Don't get yourself killed, son…"
