RE4 : Payback Time
Chapter 12 : The final battle
By Marie B.
Chris and his partners have been lucky on their way to the elevator. They only met one Tyrant. Chris got the delicious chance to beat the crap of it with his lovely rocket launcher. While they have been in the elevator, they checked a last time their weapons, none of them speaking.
Rebecca was kinda nervous. She would have liked to go with Claire and the two other boys, but they needed her to put the triggering system. She tried to calm a bit herself. On the roof or in the basement, it was the same. Some zombies and monsters would be on both places anyway. Rebecca saw Chris smiling at her. She was happy finally to be Chris. It made her feel alot better.
As they touched the bottom, all tensed up. They exchanged a few quick glances and readied themselves. When the doors opened, they all burst outside, swinging their weapons, searching for anything moving. But all they saw, was an empty hallway, looking very much like the labs under the Spencer Mansion. Chris turned around to face his partners and nodded. "Okay, let's go!"
As they turned the corner, they saw a man sitting on the floor, his back leaned on the wall. His white lab coat was covered of blood and his face was deadly pale. He was still breathing, but it wasn't hard to figure out that he won't hold on much time. Rebecca suddenly rushed towards him, already searching for her medic stuff in her pockets. She knelt beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. The man slowly turned his head to look at the young woman.
"Uuuugh…who…who are you?" asked the wounded man.
"Shhh…keep quiet…we're here to save you…" Rebecca felt a bit guilty about what she just said. They weren't here to save the survivors…and anyway, they all worked for Umbrella. They deserved what they had done.
The wound in the man's belly was really deep. Rebecca had no idea how to heal that. The man would surely die soon. The wound was as large as a tennis ball and it seemed that something had transfixed the poor scientist.
Even if she didn't want to, Jill approached herself toward Rebecca and the man. She looked at his wound.
"Oh…this looks bad. What attacked you?"
The man moaned, blood dripping from his lips. "There was…that blonde woman…with a big british accent…a kind of tentacle…came out of her body…it was disgusting…she laughed at me and transfixed me with her tentacle…"
"A blonde woman?" asked Jill. She turned back to look at Chris.
Chris was frowning, cursing between his teeth. "Alexia…" he groaned. "She's still alive! Where is she? I'm gonna kick her ass again!!" He took his rocket launcher, readying it. He then headed for the door at the end of the corridor.
"Chris! Wait!!" shouted Jill, holstering her RC-940. She then started to run after him, Barry and Rebecca behind her, leaving the poor man dying.
As they went through the door, they saw the back of a woman, dressed in an old purple dress. "So, you finally managed to come. I'm impressed…but, I think that you weren't here to kill me…" she said, turning back her head to Chris and his friends.
"Alexia! You're still alive?!" shouted Chris. It was more a statement than a question.
Alexia started to laugh, always that same creepy sadistic laugh. "I am, as you can see. So, now that I am here, are you going to kill me?"
"Well…I think…" started Chris, putting his heavy rocket launcher over his shoulder. "…it's what I'm going to do…"
An evil smile then spread across Alexia's face. "I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen, but I have an other business to take care of. I'll see you later, then…"
Suddenly, a kind of big tentacle/worm emerged under the blonde woman's feet. She then disappeared with it, going up through the ceiling.
The S.T.A.R.S. members stepped back, stunned. After she realized that she could breathe again, Rebecca opened her mouth. "Whoa…"
"What was that?" asked Jill, still shocked.
"Her taxi…" simply replied Chris.
Jill looked at him, oddly. "C'mon…we're not here in vacations! Rebecca…you know what you have to do?" continued Chris.
"Yes, sir!" said the girl, putting her hand over her forehead, like in the army.
Rebecca rushed towards the control panel, examining it. She then started the operation to set up the triggering system.
Meanwhile, Barry was looking at the holes on the floor and on the ceiling. He then scratched his beard, making a little "hmph". He turned his head towards Jill. He had an odd look on her face. She was looking at Chris, who was nervously walking around the control room. Barry sighed and came near the woman, putting an hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, he's often like this…"
"I know…but…he's not worried about himself, but about his sister…"
Oh! Barry suddenly realized that Alexia said she had some other business to take care of. There's alot of chances that she's after Chris's sister. That's why Barry's partner is so nervous.
"Rebecca! Are you finished?" asked Chris, trying to contain the growing angry inside him.
The young woman turned her head. "Not yet…but I'm almost done, Chris!"
Chris nodded. "Good, but hurry!"
Rebecca quickly moved her head, meaning to Chris that she understood. Chris silently swore, whishing that Claire won't meet Alexia.
* * *
"Phew…that was close…" breathed Claire.
"Well…thanks to Steve's weapon…" added Leon.
Steve was still staring at the thing in his hands, eyes wide. "For deadly…it's deadly for sure…"
The three of them looked at the dead Tyrant on the floor…well, the remains of it. Its head was missing, leaving a big puddle of blood and stinky juices. A real bloody mess.
"Hum…if you both don't mind…why don't we move out?" asked Claire.
"Good idea. Let's go on the fifth floor," replied Leon.
They all headed for the stairs. Claire quickly climbed them up, as Steve and Leon were talking about guns. The girl reached the door and turned back to the guys.
"C'mon, boys! Let's hurry!" she said, smiling.
She then opened the door. Suddenly, she felt an arm around her neck and a hand covering her mouth. She was then jerked through the door. Leon and Steve, who were a few steps downward, saw Claire disappearing. They rushed toward the door and found themselves looking at a man on their right. The man was holding Claire tightly.
"Mmmm…!!" shouted Claire, a horrific gaze in her eyes.
"Wesker! You bastard! Leave Claire alone!" shouted Steve.
"Oh-oh…do you seriously think that I'll bring her back to you, Steve? And by the way, I wonder how you regained your humanity."
"Bring us Claire back! She means nothing for you!" replied Steve, ignoring Wesker's last sentence.
"Indeed…she means nothing for me…but, not for YOU!" said Wesker, an evil smile on his face.
The blond man held even more tightly Claire with his arm. The girl tried desperately to breathe.
"Claire!!" yelled Steve and Leon. Without warning, Steve rushed towards Wesker, but immediately stopped as he saw Wesker taking off a combat knife from his boot.
"If you want your dear Claire to stay alive, you should stay where you are…" said Steve's ex-leader, slowly moving the knife on Claire's side. Steve groaned and remained still.
"You see, Steve…like every man, you have a weak point…and your weak point, Steve…it's Claire! So, as long as she's in my possession, you won't even dare to touch me, right?
As Wesker continued to speak to Steve, Leon was slowly searching for his magnum. He then levelled it up, but he suddenly froze. Someone was pressing the head of a gun on his back. He then heard a strong feminine voice.
"If I was you…I wouldn't do that…"
Leon slightly turned his head. "A-Ada?"
"I never believed I would meet you again, Leon…" said the woman.
"Weren't you dead? And…why are you doing this? Are…are you with this man?"
"Things changed…I'm sorry, Leon…"
Leon then stared back at Wesker, Claire and Steve, who were still talking. Suddenly, they all felt a kind of earthquake, and then a big "CRASH!!" A few seconds later, they heard the voice of a British woman, that wasn't in their sight.
"Albert Wesker! You pathetic fool! Where are you?!"
Wesker quickly turned his head, eyes wide. "Alexia?!" He then pushed away Claire, who landed in Steve's arms. Albert was heading where Alexia had shouted.
Then, Claire and Steve looked back at Leon and found themselves staring at a woman beside the cop. Steve recognized Ada, while Claire had a questioning look on her face. The woman was holding a gun, but she lowered it, now that Wesker was gone. She then stepped forward, wanting to follow her superior.
"Ada…I don't understand…" said Leon.
The woman stopped, sighing. "You don't have to understand, Leon…" She then continued her way, passing Claire and Steve. Then, they followed her. As they ran along the corridor, they reached a bigger area. Wesker was there, in front of a blonde woman. Claire and Steve shivered as they saw that crazy bitch, who's supposed to be dead. All the four of them stood there, watching the scene.
"So…we meet again, fool…" said Alexia, her chin high.
"All the better for me…it's time for me to take my revenge!"
The woman laughed. "Do you really think you can match me? I'm too powerful for you!!"
Suddenly, Alexia took in fire, her clothes burning. This time, Wesker wasn't impressed. But, he noticed that she had changed since the last time he saw her. She had tentacles moving all around her body. The rest was the same. Some kind of plants were making an armour on her body, her skin was grey/green and her eyes were golden yellow. Not far from her, Claire, Ada, Leon and Steve were aiming their weapons at her, ready to fire. She then smiled. Lifting her arm, she threw a trail of blood in front of them. In a second, the blood took in fire, creating a wall. She then looked at them.
"This fight is only a fight between him and me. I won't allow any intervention from all of you."
She then stared back at Wesker. "Try to hurt me, this time."
Albert groaned, clenching his fists. This time, he'll win the battle. Putting all his power in his fist, he threw himself on Alexia, punching her hard in the face. Alexia didn't move, only her head turning with the punch. She then moved it back to face the man who dared to touch her. In amazement, Wesker noticed that it had done nothing to her. He then felt a tentacle around his ankle. An instant later, he was thrown away on the other side of the area, where there were some windows. He almost crashed in one of them. Moaning, he tried to stand up. Laughing, Alexia started to walk towards him.
Ada felt miserable. She wanted to help her superior, but because of the fire wall, she couldn't even move. She then saw 4 people arriving. They were the remaining S.T.A.R.S. members. Claire was explaining to the guy with spiky hair what was going on and that she was okay. Ada then heard the youngest girl saying that the building will explode in 10 minutes and a helicopter will be there in 5 minutes to rescue them.
"So, who has the lead?" asked Chris.
"Alexia…" replied Steve.
Inside him, Chris was wondering which of them he would like to see dying. He then watched the fight. Wesker was still on the floor, trying desperately to get up. Alexia was at a few feet from him. The tentacle on her arm suddenly tensed up, creating a kind of sword (like Nemesis in RE3). She then stopped in front of Wesker, evilly laughing.
"It's time to die, Mr Wesker!!"
She lifted up her arm, ready to transfix the man, but she he heard a yell and then, she wasn't transfixing the man who dared to oppose her, but a young asian woman.
"Ada!!" screamed Wesker, as he saw his partner falling on the floor, pain in her face.
"Stupid bitch!!" hissed Alexia.
While Alexia was busy with the woman that saved him, Wesker stood up and threw himself on the British woman. He punched her hard on the stomach and in the face. Alexia fell back, her arms covering her stomach. Her power dropped down, the fire wall she had created was slowly fading away. "I can't lose…not me! Not against that fool! I'm the one who's gonna win!" she said to herself. With her last power, she slapped Wesker with one of her tentacles. The man flew away and went through a window. She could hear him scream. After standing up like a noble woman, she started to laugh, but suddenly froze as she saw that her fire wall had disappeared. The Redfield siblings and their friends were now all aiming at her with their weapons.
"Hum…wait…we can…arrange this…hum…little misunderstanding…huh?" she babbled.
"Misunderstanding? My ass!! C'mon everybody, FIRE!!!" yelled Chris.
The thundering sounds of automatic weapons were accompanied by the explosions of some rockets. A few seconds later, they all stopped shooting. Big dark clouds were moving in the air. After they disappeared, the only thing remaining from Alexia was her own blood and some gruesome parts of her body. All stood there, watching the miserable scene. All, beside Leon, who was running towards Ada.
"Ada!" he screamed.
She was laying on the floor, moaning in pain. Leon quickly knelt beside her, taking her fragile body in his arms. "No…not again…" he told to himself. He put a hand on her wound and brushed sweetly the hair that was masking her face.
«Five minutes until detonation.»
"Leon…you have to go…" she whispered.
"No, Ada…I'm not going without you…"
"Don't care about me…at least, I saved Captain Wesker…that's all that matter for me…save your life…"
"Oh Ada…you're gonna make it…I won't leave you this time…"
"Leon…I…" whispered Ada, before losing conscious.
"Leon! Hurry up!" yelled Claire.
Leon carefully stood up, Ada in his arms. In a jog, he joined the others who were already heading for the roof.
* * *
Rebecca felt cold air passing through her body. The copter was already there, its blades swinging in the air. The girl shouted to her partners to hurry. The building will explode in two minutes.
Barry was leading the way, Claire and Steve behind him. They were followed by Leon, holding Ada and Chris was closing the way. They all jumped in the helicopter, who took off in no time. As they flied away, they saw the building exploding, fire everywhere. Soon after, policemen and firemen were already at the place.
Sitting beside Steve, Claire put her head on his shoulder, sighing in relief. Steve looked at her and put his hand in hers, squeezing it. He then looked at Chris, who was smiling at him. "I hope you'll take good care of her…" said Chris. Steve smiled back at him, pulling Claire even closer to him.
Chris then looked at Rebecca. She was busy, trying to put some clothes around the wound of Leon's friend. Leon was looking nervous, but relieved in the same time. His friend will survive. Chris was happy that they didn't really lose someone they cared about. Even better, Leon and Claire had found someone they thought they had lost forever. Chris's gaze turned to Jill. She was looking out the little window, looking sad. Chris had forgot that Carlos was dead. The S.T.A.R.S. member sat beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Jill gasped, but smiled when she saw that it was only Chris.
"Thinking about Carlos…?" he whispered.
"Yea…" she said, looking down.
Chris felt sorry for his partner. He wanted to help her somehow. He then brushed her cheek with the back of his hand. Jill turned back to face him. "Chris…" She never really thought that Chris was interested by her…but now…Jill had deep feelings for Chris for a long time, but she never dared to tell him…and then, again, they almost get killed by Umbrella's insanities. Jill then decided to do what she always wanted to do. She sweetly kissed Chris, who replied her by doing the same.
Barry, who was sitting near them, was watching the cute scene, smiling. Suddenly, thoughts of his wife and his daughters came back in his mind. Now that the main HQ of Umbrella were destroyed and that Wesker was dead, nothing would oppose him to see his family again. He would be again happy. And by the way he was looking at the persons around him, he was sure that they would all be happy after all they have been through. Claire would finally stop to look after her brother, now that he was there and that she was back with Steve. Chris and Jill were making a good couple and they looked happy together. Leon was with that strange woman, that he seemed to be in love with. And then, there was…Rebecca. Barry thought she would continue her service in S.T.A.R.S. and he was sure that she'll surely meet someone good for her.
The helicopter will land in a little forest at the outskirts of Paris. Then, they'll head for the hospital, all of them were hurt. After, they would return to the rented house and pass a few days there. And then, they would all go on their side, building a new life, without zombies and guns…
* * *
-Paris, near the previously HQ of Umbrella
"Aww putain…as-tu vu ça?! » (aww shit…did you see that?!) said a guy to his friend, who were walking down a dark back alley. They saw explosions and fire in the sky.
"Ouaip…on dirait que Umbrella a passé au cash! » (yeah…it looks like that Umbrella went down!) said the other.
They continued their way, until they heard something behind some garbage. A dark figure appeared, it was heavily breathing. It then stepped toward the guys.
"Hey…ce mec est complètement bidon!! » (hey…this guy is completely insane!!) screamed one of them, as he saw the man running toward him. The man grabbed him and with his long teeth, he bit him in the neck. Swallowing the fresh blood, he looked back at the other guy, who was terrorized. In a split of second, he was in front of the French guy. Before knowing that he was dead, he saw the face of the attacker. It was a blond man, with some kind of snake eyes…
~The End~
«Author's notes: The end…the end…the end!!! (screams) I finally made it!!! Muwhahahahahaha!!! I finished this goddamn story!! YAY!! So, I hoooooooope you enjoyed it! Cuz, it was really cool to write. I enjoyed it myself. 12 chapters…hmmm…it's not that bad…well, it was the first time that I was writing a so long story, and it had to end someday. So, that's it. But, but, but, I have to say that it's not completely the end…because, I'm planning to do a sequel!!! (lots of works again…sigh) But the sequel will be a lot different from this story…just to give you a hint…it will be related to what happened at the end of this chapter…hehe…Oh well, so, for now, I'm taking a break!! I won't stop to write fanfics though…but they'll be short fanfics…and most of them will be humoristic. So, I'd like to thank all those who reviewed my stories, including those who supported me all along. It really helped me. (excluding those little idiots who wrote me some flames) So, I hope you'll continue to read my fanfics and to review them ^_^ So, stay tuned for other stories!!»

She was laying on the floor, moaning in pain. Leon quickly knelt beside her, taking her fragile body in his arms. "No…not again…" he told to himself. He put a hand on her wound and brushed sweetly the hair that was masking her face.
«Five minutes until detonation.»
"Leon…you have to go…" she whispered.
"No, Ada…I'm not going without you…"
"Don't care about me…at least, I saved Captain Wesker…that's all that matter for me…save your life…"
"Oh Ada…you're gonna make it…I won't leave you this time…"
"Leon…I…" whispered Ada, before losing conscious.
"Leon! Hurry up!" yelled Claire.
Leon carefully stood up, Ada in his arms. In a jog, he joined the others who were already heading for the roof.

Rebecca felt cold air passing through her body. The copter was already there, its blades swinging in the air. The girl shouted to her partners to hurry. The building will explode in two minutes.
Barry was leading the way, Claire and Steve behind him. They were followed by Leon, holding Ada and Chris was closing the way. They all jumped in the helicopter, who took off in no time. As they flied away, they saw the building exploding, fire everywhere. Soon after, policemen and firemen were already at the place.
Sitting beside Steve, Claire put her head on his shoulder, sighing in relief. Steve looked at her and put his hand in hers, squeezing it. He then looked at Chris, who was smiling at him. "I hope you'll take good care of her…" said Chris. Steve smiled back at him, pulling Claire even closer to him.
Chris then looked at Rebecca. She was busy, trying to put some clothes around the wound of Leon's friend. Leon was looking nervous, but relieved in the same time. His friend will survive. Chris was happy that they didn't really lose someone they cared about. Even better, Leon and Claire had found someone they thought they had lost forever. Chris's gaze turned to Jill. She was looking out the little window, looking sad. Chris had forgot that Carlos was dead. The S.T.A.R.S. member sat beside her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Jill gasped, but smiled when she saw that it was only Chris.
"Thinking about Carlos…?" he whispered.
"Yea…" she said, looking down.
Chris felt sorry for his partner. He wanted to help her somehow. He then brushed her cheek with the back of his hand. Jill turned back to face him. "Chris…" She never really thought that Chris was interested by her…but now…Jill had deep feelings for Chris for a long time, but she never dared to tell him…and then, again, they almost get killed by Umbrella's insanities. Jill then decided to do what she always wanted to do. She sweetly kissed Chris, who replied her by doing the same.
Barry, who was sitting near them, was watching the cute scene, smiling. Suddenly, thoughts of his wife and his daughters came back in his mind. Now that the main HQ of Umbrella were destroyed and that Wesker was dead, nothing would oppose him to see his family again. He would be again happy. And by the way he was looking at the persons around him, he was sure that they would all be happy after all they have been through. Claire would finally stop to look after her brother, now that he was there and that she was back with Steve. Chris and Jill were making a good couple and they looked happy together. Leon was with that strange woman, that he seemed to be in love with. And then, there was…Rebecca. Barry thought she would continue her service in S.T.A.R.S. and he was sure that she'll surely meet someone good for her.
The helicopter will land in a little forest at the outskirts of Paris. Then, they'll head for the hospital, all of them were hurt. After, they would return to the rented house and pass a few days there. And then, they would all go on their side, building a new life, without zombies and guns…

-Paris, near the previously HQ of Umbrella
"Aww putain…as-tu vu ça?! » (aww shit…did you see that?!) said a guy to his friend, who were walking down a dark back alley. They saw explosions and fire in the sky.
"Ouaip…on dirait que Umbrella a passé au cash! » (yeah…it looks like that Umbrella went down!) said the other.
They continued their way, until they heard something behind some garbage. A dark figure appeared, it was heavily breathing. It then stepped toward the guys.
"Hey…ce mec est complètement bidon!! » (hey…this guy is completely insane!!) screamed one of them, as he saw the man running toward him. The man grabbed him and with his long teeth, he bit him in the neck. Swallowing the fresh blood, he looked back at the other guy, who was terrorized. In a split of second, he was in front of the French guy. Before knowing that he was dead, he saw the face of the attacker. It was a blond man, with some kind of snake eyes…
~The End~
«Author's notes: The end…the end…the end!!! (screams) I finally made it!!! Muwhahahahahaha!!! I finished this goddamn story!! YAY!! So, I hoooooooope you enjoyed it! Cuz, it was really cool to write. I enjoyed it myself. 12 chapters…hmmm…it's not that bad…well, it was the first time that I was writing a so long story, and it had to end someday. So, that's it. But, but, but, I have to say that it's not completely the end…because, I'm planning to do a sequel!!! (lots of works again…sigh) But the sequel will be a lot different from this story…just to give you a hint…it will be related to what happened at the end of this chapter…hehe…Oh well, so, for now, I'm taking a break!! I won't stop to write fanfics though…but they'll be short fanfics…and most of them will be humoristic. So, I'd like to thank all those who reviewed my stories, including those who supported me all along. It really helped me. (excluding those little idiots who wrote me some flames) So, I hope you'll continue to read my fanfics and to review them ^_^ So, stay tuned for other stories!!»
