RE4 : Payback Time

«Chapter 10 : Tyrants »

by Marie B.







-B4 floor, Umbrella facility, Paris.



"Got it…" The woman smiled. She had in her hands what she and her partners were looking for : the S-Virus. With care, she put it in a metal suitcase, that she locked. She then heard footsteps and searched for her gun.

"Forget about your gun, Agent W. You don't need it."

The woman turned back and saw a man with sunglasses entering the lab where she was standing.

"Oh, Captain Wesker. I didn't think it was you."

The man noticed the suitcase. "You found it?" The woman nodded. She had found it, but she had to kill all the scientists that were standing on her way. "So, are we leaving now?" she asked, hoping that her superior will agree.

All her hopes fell when she heard him laughing. "Do you think I'll leave when I can finally kill my enemies? Redfield is there. And this time, he'll pay!"

Ada cocked an eyebrow. "But…didn't you say that you left Steve with them? They must be all dead, now."

Wesker scratched his invisible bear. "Right…but we're not sure about it. Oh, by the way, I saw a monitor room nearby. We could look if those bastards are still alive or not."

The woman nodded and both went to the monitor room. Typing a few codes, Albert opened all the cameras. Shocked, he saw Chris Redfield and some of his partners. "What? They're still alive?!"

"Some are missing…maybe Steve killed them…"

"Possible…and by the way, where he is?"

Wesker typed some more codes, and what he saw on a monitor, made him furious. On the monitor, a young woman was walking down a corridor with the HCF agent. "Redfield!! And what is Steve doing with her?? Ada, do a close- up on him!"

Ada was a bit surprised when she heard him calling her by her own name, but she quickly did the close-up, not wanting Wesker to get mad at her.

Wesker approached himself towards the monitor. Like if he knew that someone was watching, Steve turned his head and looked at the camera. Wesker suddenly stepped back.

"What's wrong?" asked Ada.

"His eyes…they're not red anymore…the virus stopped its effects!! But how?! I'm sure that Redfield has something to do with!! Argh…I'll kill her with her brother!"

"But…Steve's with her…it won't be easy…" said Ada, looking at the blond man.

Wesker crossed his arms. "Hmm…we have to find Steve's weak point…" He looked again at the monitor. He then watched Claire…and smiled.

Walking down the corridor, Steve suddenly stopped and looked at the ceiling.

"What is it?" asked Claire.

"A camera…we're watched…"

"Nahh…don't worry, I'm sure that nobody is looking at us."

Steve sighed and stared some more seconds to it. He then came back to reality when he felt Claire grabbing his hand, and making him come along.

"So, where is your brother, exactly?" he asked, slipping away his hand from Claire's.

"We were at the fourth floor…but…on which floor are we?"

"On the third. We'll take the stairs, it'll be more secured."

Claire nodded. Both saw an exit door, which leaded to the stairs. Climbing up, they stopped as they heard heavy footsteps.

"Thump thump thump thump"

Claire looked anxiously to Steve. They turned their gazes downward. Claire couldn't help herself to not let a cry of horror coming out of her throat.

"Oh no!! Not again!!"

A Tyrant was coming in their direction, the same as the one that Claire had fought in Raccoon City.

"C'mon Steve!! Run!!"

Steve wanted to fight it, but decided to listen to Claire. «What the hell is that? And it seems to follow us…but who sent it to us?» he thought.

"Problem…BIG problem…" said Leon. He and the others were "hidden" on both sides of the double doors. What just happened traumatized them. As they were walking in the room, all the capsules opened by themselves, letting the Tyrants free. Quickly, they got away of the room and hid. Fortunately, the monsters left by the other side of the room.

"What are we doing now, Chris?" whispered Jill.

"Trying to not be in their way…" he replied.

"Wise idea…" said Leon, mostly for himself.

Chris heard him and watched him angrily. Jill gave an elbow punch in his ribs. "Don't start that…same for you, Leon." While Chris rolled his eyes, Leon stared at Jill, with a funny look.

"Man…that girl may be cute, but she is so authoritarian. I wonder how that guy can stand her…oh well, Chris is like her…they're meant to be together," he thought. Once again, Leon has been cut off his thoughts when he heard and saw the wall exploding just beside him. All jumped as they saw two Tyrants coming out of the wall.

In the same time, they stepped back, but two other Tyrants arrived behind them. They were trapped.

In the B6 floor, a woman was watching with delight the Tyrants that she just released, attacking the intruders.

"Those Tyrants are like ants…they serve their queen until death, and they'll never give up. I like that! Hahahahahaaa!!!"

The strange woman then took a dead dragonfly from her dress pocket, and started to pull off its wings. She then began to sing…

«Author's notes: The other day, I figured out that I forgot to talk about Wesker and Ada since a few chapters…So, here we go. And now, I'll do like on TV: Will our heroes survive from the Tyrants? What's on Wesker's mind? Who's that mysterious woman? You'll know all the truth in the next episode of : RESIDENT EVIL 4: Payback Time !!!! (lol)»
