"What are you doing here!?" Claire growled
"I'm here to collect something" Ada grinned back as she walked gracefully past Claire, and started watching the camera feed "unfortunately, it seems Leon has the last accessible vial" Ada then turned her gaze back towards Claire " Déjà vu indeed...perhaps I should ask him nicely? He always was so easy to seduce..."
Claire felt the blood rush to her face, and trained her gun on Ada
"Oh Claire, have some dignity. Your jealousy is showing. Now lower your aim, before someone gets hurt"
Claire clenched her teeth, Ada may have been right about the jealousy, but there was also another reason for her reaction
"I don't trust you!"
"And you'd be right not too" Ada replied "but I'm only here for the serum"
"There is no serum. We destroyed it, so guess you're outta luck!"
"You really should pay more attention to your new plaything, Claire. I've been watching him for a long time. I know he has a vial on him"
Claire dropped her aim
"You know, Ada. For a long time I thought you were only using Leon for your own ends, and it pissed me off that he could never see it. Still, it was obvious he cared for you, and I wanted him to be happy. I just hoped you cared for him at least a little, but I guess that was too much to ask for!"
"What do you mean?" Ada sighed impatiently, as she crossed her arms
"You've just said it yourself!" Claire seethed "you've been watching him a while! And still, you chose to leave him in the clutches of that madman whilst he nearly beat him to death!! "
Ada lost her grin, and looked away
"You're not the only one who has history with Wesker...I couldn't risk it..." She answered quietly
"Yet Leon would have for you!" Claire spat
"I know..." Ada responded, still unable to bring her eyes back to Claire's angry glare. Claire finally thought that she detected a hint of sadness, or regret coming from the woman, but then, Ada's demeanour suddenly changed, and she straightened. Her face becoming a blank slate, void of any emotion
"...but then again, I wouldn't have put myself into such a stupid position in the first place! And how did he do that? Oh yeah, by chasing your skirt"
Claire shook her head in disbelief at the coldness of the woman in front of her, and Ada turned back towards the monitors
"And there he goes again, running off into another fatal situation. No thanks to your brother. You blame me for a beating? You two are about to get him killed "
"What are you talking about? Wesker's about to be outnumbered, and he's out of his super juice" Claire replied, suddenly feeling less confident.
Ada gave her a demeaning look "Clearly, Leon isn't attracted to you for your intelligence..."
Claire clenched her fist, ready to knock Ada's perfect teeth down her throat, she'd had just about enough of this bitch and her smart mouth. If Ada sensed the threat, then she chose to ignore it as she continued on
"Wesker injected himself with another top up after the incident with the lickers, and he has a couple tucked safely away on his person, but, what you don't know is that he has a different serum that he has been holding onto, for the conclusion of his game"
Claire's anger fell away at the news "What?" she asked, feeling panic well in her stomach
"Wesker manufactured this serum exclusively for you or Chris. It is very similar to the las plagas, but minus the parasite. However, it will still grant him instant, and complete control over whomever he injects it into first. His planned finale, is to order said person to kill the other. Sound familiar? The apple clearly doesn't fall far from the tree "
Jill...
Claire's thoughts quickly turned back to her earlier encounter with Wesker, and the syringe he had waved in front of her.
Ada pointed to the feed that showed Chris and Wesker now locked in combat
"...And, unfortunately for you, your much stronger brother will be the one on the receiving end"
Claire watched in horror as Wesker easily overpowered Chris, and jammed the syringe into his neck.
Chris fell back against the wall, quickly bringing a hand up to his neck
"What the hell..." He growled, panicking at whatever Wesker had injected him with
Suddenly, a loud shot echoed around the room, and Wesker fell forwards, grasping at the black blood spilling from the back of his skull. Chris' sight fell on Leon, who's magnum was trained on the downed Wesker, but he still managed to turn his head towards Chris, and issued a quiet command under his breath, before Leon landed another shot that silenced him
kill your allies!...
"Guess he's still jacked up?" Leon stated, when he approached the body "well, let's just keep popping a round in his brain, till he runs outta juice" Leon grinned over his shoulder at Chris.
After hearing no response, Leon turned momentarily to check if his friend was okay, only to see Chris aiming his rifle at his back, and readying to pull the trigger.
LEON, GET OUT OF THERE! HE'S UNDER WESKERS CONTROL!
Leon moved fast, hoping he was quick enough to avoid the barrage of bullets that would be heading his way, there was no cover, but then, his eyes fell on Wesker. Leon grabbed the body and quickly pulled it up against himself
Leon felt the violent barrage of bullets hitting Wesker, hoping the toughened body would absorb the brunt of the attack, unfortunately several bullets zipped through and grazed Leon's leg
"CHRIS, STOP!" he cried through clenched teeth.
For a moment he thought he'd got through to his friend when the firing stopped, but his hope quickly died when he heard Chris clicking the trigger.
The gun had only run out of ammo.
Leon threw Wesker down, and launched himself towards Chris, knowing he had to quickly disarm and restrain his friend.
Claire hit the switch to unlock the doors, and raced towards the corridor
"Wait!" Ada called, and stopped her by the arm, Claire was incensed, but calmed when Ada passed her a vial. "this is the antidote for your brother, get it into him by any means necessary, but don't lose it. There's only one, and remember" Ada released her arm, and headed in the opposite direction "you owe me..."
Leon knocked the pistol away, that Chris had suddenly pulled from his holster. The explosion from the gun had almost deafened the ex agent, when Chris had pulled the trigger, and if Leon had been any slower knocking the pistol away, than the bullet would have certainly ripped through his skull.
He couldn't afford for the disorientation from the blast to throw him off his game, as the slightest misstep would give Chris the opportunity to correct his failed attempt. Leon needed to disarm his friend and quickly, he Jumped back and launched a kick, the perfectly placed curvature of which caused the gun to fly from Chris' grasp, and over the railings.
Chris turned his angry glare back on the ex agent, cracking his knuckles with opposite palms
"Okay, Chris" Leon stated as he brought his fists up in defence "let's do this!"
Claire ran through the corridors, hoping against hope that she wouldn't run into anything else. She'd already lost precious moments taking down a pack of dogs. She worried that she hadn't memorized the layout of the place correctly, but when she crashed through the doors ahead, she was relieved to see the room with the pit, but simultaneously horrified at seeing Leon and Chris locked in vicious combat on the far side of the room. Claire gripped the antidote and ran towards the pair.
Leon used his momentum to swing himself behind Chris, and got him secured into a headlock. Chris had the stronger arms of the pair, but Leon had speed, and all you needed to pull of this hold was a good grip, and a bit of patience. Leon silently questioned his confidence however, when Chris let out a feral growl, and then suddenly threw himself violently backwards, smashing the ex agent against the wall, and breaking his hold at the jarring impact, which sent waves of fresh pain searing through his bullet wound.
Chris turned quickly, and landed a heavy blow right across Leon's jaw, knocking the ex agent onto a knee. Chris went in for another, but Leon dodged quicker than Chris anticipated, and simultaneously lashed something cold across the big man's wrist, and then again against a railing. Chris found that his ability to advance towards his target, had suddenly become restricted, and looked towards his wrist. Leon backed away, panting
"Wesker spared no expense with the outfit" Leon stated, spitting blood from his mouth and jangling the handcuff keys at Chris, who roared in rage.
Claire quickly ran to Leon's side, but both turned their heads to the sound of applause, and cold laughter that came from across the vast room
"You're certainly right there" Wesker smirked, as he approached "you have no idea how hard it was to find an official RPD outfit, along with a Raccoon city school uniform, cost a small fortune. Disgusting how humans profit from disaster, wouldn't you agree?"
"You turn a little girl into a monster for a sick game" Claire seethed "yet human greed is the thing that disgusts you?
"If you're going to host a memorable event, then you have to get every little detail right" Wesker smirked "my superior version of the Birkin child just happened to turn a little faster than I had anticipated"
Claire lunged forward, but Leon grabbed her arm, pulling her back with him. He took slow steps away from the advancing menace, and away from Chris. Claire realised that she hadn't told him about the antidote.
"I need to get close to Chris - I have a cure" she whispered urgently, watching Wesker as he approached her brother.
"I'll draw Wesker away" Leon whispered back, and he slid a hand slowly into one of his side pockets "be careful, Claire..."
Leon dropped his closed hand slowly to his side, his thumb resting gently on the top of whatever it was he held. The pair watched Wesker grip the cuffs, and with a sudden jolt, snapped the metal easily. Chris started to approach menacingly, but Wesker commanded him to stop
"Before I command my loyal pet here to kill you both, allow me to let you in on a little fascinating detail. The wonderful thing about this serum, is the fact that Chris is completely aware of what he's doing. He just lacks the control to do anything about it, isn't that right Chris?"
"Yes..." was all Chris responded, but Claire swore she could see the pain of his internal struggle etched on his features, as Wesker continued his taunt
"And I'm sure it's an experience he'll never forget, especially once he has your pretty blood splattered all over his hands, dear heart. For I'm planning to keep him around long after we've had our fun"
Leon raised his magnum "You're assuming you've already won, the way I see it the odds are pretty even"
"That's what you think!" Wesker growled as he plunged a syringe into his own neck "CHRIS! Make your sister BLEED!"
Chris launched himself towards Claire.
Leon trained his magnum onto Chris.
"NO!" Wesker spat, surprised that the ex agent would turn his weapon onto his ally so suddenly
"I'm sorry, my friend" Leon stated, and fired
AN :- So, I've never played Resident Evil 5. But I wanted to make sure I was getting Wesker's character sorta right, so I watched a play through, and was surprised by some of the similarities with my own story (mind controlled ally, super serums. and a crazy lady worshipping Wesker lol) anyways, glad I did, and I took the opportunity to add a little snippet in about Jill being controlled by Wesker in the past, to kinda tie my story in a bit. Once again thanks to my readers, and hope you are still enjoying
