Wesker spoke into the microphone. ""You should consider yourselves fortunate to have the honor of facing Umbrella's prize creations. The one that resembles a Hunter is what is known as a Stalker. The other B.O.W. is known as a Reaper. Now have fun, I have a train to catch."
He looked at his watch. He had less than twenty minutes to get to the train. He decided to watch a little of the action. He grinned as Barry was cut and Chris got knocked down. He also marveled at how quickly the Reaper took out Jeff and Janet.
"Beautiful. Those pathetic S.T.A.R.S. didn't even touch them yet. An army of these creatures will be unstoppable. And they will all follow me."
He then saw the Stalker nail Claire. "Oh, that has to hurt. I wonder what's going through Chris' mind right now?"
Wesker savored every moment. This was turning out to be interesting. The speed at which the B.O.W.s were dropping the S.T.A.R.S. was incredible. These creatures turned out to be more efficient and deadly than he had ever dreamed. With these monsters to back him up, no one could oppose him. Not even that fool Spencer would be able to stand in his way. He saw Ada fall at the hands of the Reaper, and then Jill and Barry's poor attempt to kill the Stalker. His grin grew bigger when he saw Jill get injured.
"Redfield must be in agony by now." Wesker said to himself. "His team is being dissected and he can't do anything about it but watch."
The events of the Spencer Estate still played in his mind. He had turned his attention to the Tyrant for just a minute. His momentary drop of guard had allowed Chris to get in the first blow. After that it was an all-out brawl. Wesker had thought that Chris was only good with guns. He found out the hard way that Chris was also good in hand-to-hand combat. It shouldn't have been a surprise, seeing how Chris had grown up in an orphanage and lived a few years of his life as a wanderer. Chris could have picked up his fighting skills anywhere. Wesker had finally managed to grab his gun and pistol-whip Chris. He had, however, failed to notice that the Tyrant was right behind him. Everything had been a blur after he got impaled. On moment the Tyrants claw was sticking through his midsection, the next he's laying in a helicopter with someone injecting some fluid into his arm. At least Antarctica had been different. He was the one who knocked Chris around. He would have killed Chris is Alexia hadn't of shown up. It had been for a second time that he had had his ass kicked. Now Chris was suffering, watching his friends fall before him.
"How painful." Wesker laughed when he saw Rebecca get stabbed. He quit laughing when he saw Ark shot the Stalker first in the eye, and then in the chest. "At least it put up a good fight. At least the Reaper is still going strong." He watched the Reaper slash Rick in the leg. He then saw the Stalker get back up. "This is too much."
"TEN MINUTES UNTIL DETONATION. PLEASE EVACUATE THE FACILITY."
"Too bad I can't stay to watch." Wesker was almost out the door when he looked back to see the soldiers make their entrance. "Lucky day for you Redfield." Wesker took off down the hall with unnatural speed.
"Where the hell is he?" Nicholai stood anxiously at the controls of the train. He was ready to go the minute Wesker got on board. "What the hell are you waiting for?" The ten-minute warning had been given. It would take at least a few minutes to get clear of the factory. With his luck, Wesker was still watching the S.T.A.R.S. getting slaughtered. "That fool will get us both killed." He walked into the second car. The Nemesis II stood silently in the middle of the car. The blood has stopped flowing a while ago. The creature looked imposing with its one eye shot out. Nicholai stepped past it nervously. He stood in the door and stared out. "Hurry."
Wesker burst through the door to the train station, nearly ripping the door from its hinges. "Looks like I'm just in time." He said.
"Get in Wesker. We don't have the time to fool around." Nicholai ran back to the controls and waited for Wesker to get onboard. When Wesker got on, Nicholai pushed the throttle up.
The train slowly began to move. It gradually picked up speed as it left the station. Soon it was cruising down the track at 50 mi/hr. The train began to climb upwards as the track broke for open ground. It immerged from the tunnel and entered a forest. The trees were bare of leaves and the air had a chill to it.
Nicholai walked back into the passenger car. "So what happened?"
"You should have seen it." Wesker said. "The B.O.W.s fought magnificently. They cut down the S.T.A.R.S. with little effort. With any luck, some of those fools should be dead by the time they get back to their base."
"What do you mean?" Nicholai asked. "Did they escape?"
Wesker looked out the door. "Yes, the military saved them again. The B.O.W.s are probably dead. It doesn't really matter. All we have to tell Spencer is that the Stalker and Reaper B.O.W.s are highly efficient. The Spiker and Regurgitor units are also good, but should be used as backup. Also, we'll tell him that most of the S.T.A.R.S. are seriously injured. Redfield will most certainly wait until his team is a full strength before he moves again."
"And the Nemesis II also preformed well." Nicholai added. "I just pray that Spencer doesn't have our heads for this blunder."
"Soon Spencer will be out of the picture." Wesker said.
"Are you saying you want to kill him?" Nicholai asked bluntly. "This talk is treason. I should kill you right here."
Wesker smiled wickedly. "And if you did, my Nemesis would snap your neck before you even laid a hand on me."
Nicholai knew this was true. "Then answer my question."
"I will." Wesker began to pace back and forth in front of Nicholai. "You were right to have suspicions about me. Do you actually think I was loyal to Spencer? No, I'm using him, like I used the S.T.A.R.S. and even Bio-Tech. You see, in wars like this bullets and bio-weapons are not the deadliest weapons. Trust, deceit, manipulation, lies; these are the weapons that win wars. The Nazis used manipulation to win the people of Germany. The invasion of Normandy was successful due to Allied deception. The mobsters of the 1930's used intimidation and bribes to stay in power. Umbrella itself has conducted bio-weapon research based on elaborate lies not only to governments, but its own employees. As Spencer himself said, I am a master a psychological warfare. I win by out-thinking my opponents."
"What does this have to do with Spencer?"
"Everything. I feed him enough information about Bio-Tech to gain his trust. I further got his trust through conversations, playing along with his psychotic rambling. You know what he wants to do. He believes that he can control governments from behind the scenes by making back-ally deals. I sell you weapons in exchange for some control of your government. That won't work. Umbrella isn't the only bio-weapons manufacture. Bio-Tech has the technology to create bio-weapons. If counties won't buy from Umbrella, they'll get them elsewhere."
Nicholai eyed Wesker coolly. "And you have a different approach."
"Yes. I say we control the world with fear. Supreme, unbridled terror. If we don't get what we want, then we release the T-virus and G-virus upon the cities of the world. If any army opposes us, our armies of bio-weapons will crush those pathetic soldiers. Plus, only we hold the anti-virus to the T and G-viruses. We can always completely infect a city and hold the anti-virus as a ransom. Comply to our demands or the people die."
"How can we possible guarantee that we will infect any city completely. It would take days for the virus to spread and people could escape. What you're talking about is impossible."
"Not quite." Wesker said. "You see, Mr. Umbrella had several sites set up around the world. These sites contain ballistic missiles loaded with an air-borne strain of the T and G-viruses. They can be sent anywhere in the world. Mr. Umbrella decided long ago to close down these sites, but Spencer recently had them re-opened. That paranoid lunatic plans on using the missiles as a last resort. I see them as a golden opportunity to gain power. The fear that at any time a city can be infected will give us anything we want. The world will be mine, and no one will stand in my way."
"Except Spencer." Nicholai said. "If he learns of this plan, we will be executed."
"I would like to see him try to kill me. I could kill him in an instant. But I'm not going to kill him."
"You're not." Nicholai said. "Then how will you get rid of him?"
Wesker removed his shades. "I'll let the S.T.A.R.S. do it for me."
"WHAT?"
"You heard me." Wesker said. "Like I said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. All I have to do is goal Spencer into doing something that will piss Redfield and the rest of those idiots off. The S.T.A.R.S. will then get rid of Spencer for me. But before that, I'll get Spencer to give me the codes to the missile sites. While the S.T.A.R.S. are busy eliminating Spencer and his soldiers, I, or shall I say we, will arm a missile or two and aim them at D.C."
"You realize by doing that, everyone will be after us. This is a deadly gamble."
"No one will come after us. With D.C.'s destruction we will prove that we can strike any city at any time we choose. No one will dare oppose us due to fear."
"You are heartless." Nicholai said. "What you say is equivalent to genocide."
"But it will work. And there will be nothing that Redfield or the rest of the S.T.A.R.S. can do about it."
The train sped on into the country.
Author's Comments: Wesker's true agenda has been revealed. A plot too horrible to conceive has been hatched. Is Wesker right? Is there nothing the S.T.A.R.S. can do to stop him? Will this spell certain doom for the whole planet? We'll have to see if Wesker lives that long to carry out his intentions. No doubt Chris will be looking for retribution for what happened at the factory. Also, Spencer isn't that gullible. Of coarse I may be wrong.
The aftermath of the factory battle with the Stalker and Reaper will be shown. Is the S.T.A.R.S. team down and out? Did anyone die and what are the extents of injuries suffered? You'll have to read and find out. Plus, Chris and Peterson are forced to take a long, hard look at the situation. Check it out in RE Armageddon: Part V, Chapter 4- Rules Have Changed.
