Resident Evil: Blood Opera
a fanfic by Jian DeLeon
Chapter 4 - Ascension
Zheng turned his head to the source of the gunfire, finding three Black Orchid Assassins,
each firing, he assumed that the zombies were dead and resorted to his last weapons. Activating
buttons hidden in the cufflinks on his black suit, two small Berettas launched forward from
spring loaded mechanisms in his arms. Zheng held his empty hands out as the guns were forced
into them, all while he dove backwards and was sliding on the smooth wooden floor, which was
being ripped apart by the each of the assassins' akimbo uzis. Zheng caught the guns as they were
forced into his hands and let loose 5 shots.
"BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!" He only really needed three. Each of the lifeless
assassins slumped to the ground as blood poured from fresh wounds in their foreheads, dead as
everything else in this house. Zheng leafed through their pockets, in search of clues and ammo.
He found a small booklet, labled "Inferno" on it.
"Oh my God..." thought Zheng. The booklet was another plan to kill him and Tsai, the
Black Orchid Society was planning to wipe this island off the face of the planet. He read on,
explaining how from the beginning, they had instealled a nuclear warhead beneath the facility.
This was why the Black Orchids wanted Maximilian dead in the first place, he refused to obey the
orders, claiming that his work was too important to be destroyed. So the Black Orchids did the
next best thing, they cut off his funding, and deserted him on this island. However, now that
Zheng and Tsai had arrived, they wanted to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone. Inferno
was the codename for the operation made by the Black Orchids to find the detonation switch to the
warhead, hidden in Maximilan Barton's office, and detonate it, destroying this whole island.
Zheng picked up two of the fallen assassins' uzis, he took off his jacket, along with
the spring-launchers that housed his akimbo mini-Berettas. He placed his Berettas in his pockets
as well as some clips for the uzis. Rolling up the sleeves on his white shirt, he strolled down
the hallway to Maximilian Barton's main office.
Tsai ran down the hallway lined with 10 assassins, he dove forward, sliding on the floor,
he let out some quick shots with his shotgun dispatching about 5 assassins standing near each
other. Some were armed with two Berettas, others with uzis. Tsai sensed a bullet coming from
his left, so he quickly rolled to the right to dodge it. The surviving scientists lagging behind
him shot their pistols clumsily, winging some of their targets but never really hitting what
they wanted to, but Tsai thought quickly and used the covering fire provided by the scientists
to his advantage, in the second it took the assassins to realize that they were being fired at
by another group, Tsai had already fired a shot from his SPAS-12 in either their torso or their
head. The last assassin had a headshot coming for Tsai, but a shot from Richard's Colt Magnum
went right through his trigger hand, causing him to drop the gun. Tsai froze for a second
after realizing how close to death he had come, which was uncommon for someone like him.
"Tsai! Behind you!" yelled Kate. Without looking back, just pointing his shotgun
behind him, Tsai fired, blowing two of the 6 approaching zombies away. Tsai got up to face the
next onslaught of enemies. The scientists got up from their cover too, realizing now their foes
couldn't shoot back. They were also a bit shocked, they looked around them, seeing the dead
bodies of both humans and numerous zombies. Finally the gunfire ceased, an intermission from
all the bloodshed.
"How-pant-many-pant-more-pant-floors up?" asked Peter.
"Well, right now we're on the second floor, so I'd say one more." replied Tsai.
"Thank God, I'm getting so tired from all this ru-AK!" Peter gasped for air, then fell
to the ground as blood poured from his mouth. Tsai saw a black orchid stuck to his
back by a pin, as did the other scientists.
"Wha-what is that?!" asked Andrea.
"It's a challenge... to a duel. You four, find cover. Now." Tsai stayed out in the
hallway.
"Hana... it's time to come out now." On the other side of the hallway, a curvaceous
figure stepped out. She looked Japanese, long shoulder-length black hair with red highlights,
she wore an all-black leather catsuit. She was still covered by the darkness, yet a little light
shown from a nearby window.
"How'd you know?"
"I could always tell when you were close. It was your poison that killed Peter, he died
the same way all your other victims did."
"You and that memory of yours. You never could forget the past could you?" Tsai was
whisked away to the past, he saw the two of them, in Tsai's apartment, lying on his bed.
"Why are you getting out Tsai? They'll never let you do it! There are no resignations
from the Black Orchid Society!"
"After all I've done for them, don't you think they'd make an exception? They know how
good I am, and how dangero-"
"That's why they'll KILL you! No one, and I mean NO ONE ever has, nor ever will resign.
You know how the assassin's life is. It's kill or be killed."
"But Zheng-"
"Zheng what? Zheng told you that they'll let you retire? That's all a bunch of
bullshit! And you know it as much as I do!" Tsai flashed forward in time a bit, another scene
from his past on a familiar harbor...
"You did WHAT?!"
"Tsai it was... I... that was the only way I could get alone with him to make the kill!"
"You slept with him!"
"It was business, I had to! My contact screwed up and he had bodyguard surrounding him!"
"Hana... you told me you'd never sacrifice your ethics for this business."
"That was in the past Tsai... people change... you do what you need to do to get ahead
now. Do or die, shit or get off the pot."
"You're right Hana... people do change. That's why I... goodbye Hana." Tsai flashed
back into the present, and saw his former lover standing in front of him, an enemy.
"Look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent underneath... That's who you are,
Hana Hebi."
"I didn't want to have to do this. But you know how it is."
"Kill or be killed..."
"Do... or DIE!" Hana pointed her hands forward, her golden Desert Eagle .357s glistened
a little from the light from the open window to her right. She squeezed the triggers, flinging
bullets of love and scorn at Tsai. Tsai rolled forward, dodging bullets as he fired his shotgun.
"BLAM! BLAM! Click!" That click didn't sound too good. Tsai tossed his shotgun on the
ground and reached into the holsters beneath his shoulders and pulled out his trusty akimbo
Beretta 92FSes. Rolling on the ground he aimed them upwards and shot. A bullet went through
Hana's shoulder, and she winced in pain for a short second, she ran towards the wall and ran up
it, bouncing off and twisting in mid-air, she emptied the remaining bullets of her Desert Eagles
in Tsai's general direction. Tsai suffered hits to his left shoulder, so he somersaulted up
and took two bullets in the lower back, landing on his feet, his left shoulder ate another one.
The stunt only took 4 seconds, but that was 4 seconds that Tsai wasn't firing, he aimed his
Berettas at Hana and fired twice, each bullet ripping through the tendons connecting Hana's
arms to her shoulders. She fell to the ground, defeated. Tsai walked over her, for the first
time, he saw her smiling.
"Assassins... are always ready to die." she looked up at Tsai. "I still love you."
"Me too Hana... me too..." Tsai aimed his Beretta at her head and fired a quick shot.
He turned the other way and called out the other scientists. Together the five of them walked
to the top floor. They got there expecting more zombies, what they found was more dead bodies.
Tsai examined the scene, there were three ropes dangling from a broken sunroof, and three dead
bodies of assassins, as well as five more dead zombies. Then Tsai spotted a familiar black
jacket.
"Zheng..." he said.
"What was that?" asked Richard.
"Nothing... how much more ammo do you have?"
"Well, I'm completely dry, so I took Peter's gun, it has three shots left, Andrea and
Kate are empty, and Nicholas picked up your shotgun, so there's about five shells left in that."
"All right. Let's proceed to the office." The five headed to the double doors at the
end of the hall. 'M. Barton' was engraved on the right door. Tsai kicked them open, Berretas
aimed forward, the scientists looked in horror at what they saw...
