1 Chapter 10
Wesker adjusted his sunglasses.
"Alas there is someone in this world who is almost as strong as me, and your name is?"
Alex looked at the creature on front of her. It was the same guy who was down in the cells.
"You were the one who attacked this place. Why?"
Wesker smiled.
"I wanted something that was here. And I believe we both want the same thing"
Alex looked at him confused. Then it hit her. He wanted Missy.
"You're not going to get her. I'll die before I let you hurt her"
Wesker's smile grew wider
"There is one truth in that. You will die"
Alex glared at him
"I don't think so".
Alex kicked Wesker throwing him to the other side of the Lab. Within a few seconds he was up and coming at Alex. She dodged him. He smiled.
"I like that in a girl." He said. Alex stepped closer.
"There's more where that came from." She replied. Wesker smirked; he knew this was going to be too easy. Alex lunged forward trying to punch Wesker. He dodged her move and span like a whirlwind right around her. He was so fast that scientific beakers flew off the wall crashing to the ground. Alex tried to focus on him but he was a blur. Bam! She was punched to the ground. Wesker stopped in front of her. She staggered to her feet. Bam! Wesker punched her down again; this time as hard as she tried she could not get up. While still struggling Wesker forced his boot into her chest. Alex convulsed. Once more he booted her.
"A woman's place is on the floor."
He walked away, and now his attention focused on Chris, who stood in disbelief at what Wesker had just done to Alex. Wesker smirked and walked toward the door.
Chris looked through the glass, he watched as Wesker punched Alex. Alex fell on the floor and did not get up. Wesker kicked Alex in the chest, said something then began to make his towards him and Nicola. Chris could not let him hurt Nicola, he ventured out into the lab, Wesker stopped walking and stood smiling. Chris stood once again in front of the person who was responsible for the deaths of most of his comrades, the man who tried to kill him and his sister only a few months before.
Wesker looked at Chris, the man who had ruined every plan he had made. Chris had destroyed the tyrant in the Spencer Mansion, killed Alexia Ashford and now he stood before him again. Wesker knew Chris would not be able to kill him, Wesker enjoyed watching Chris suffer and he was about to suffer a great deal indeed.
"I told you last time Chris that the next time we meet you won't be as lucky. I think it is about time I kept my word"
Chris knew he was powerless against Wesker…but he was not going to let him kill Nicola, he had to try and keep Wesker away from her for as long as he could.
"I'll fight to the end Wesker, I will use every ounce of strength I have in me to stop you killing anyone else".
Wesker laughed
"You see Chris I am not planning on killing you just yet, I have a much better way of making you suffer. You see Chris, there is something that I know about you. Something that you have no idea about"
Chris did not understand what Wesker was talking about. He looked at his enemy and said
"What are you talking about?"
Wesker laughed again
"You really have no idea do you…why do you think your ex girlfriend would go to so much trouble to find you. It obviously wasn't because she missed you and wanted you back. It has been six years and now she decides to find you. Why do you think? If not to tell you some important news."
Chris looked very confused, he had no idea, he turned and looked at Nicola who had managed to stand and was now standing at the open door with a guilty look on her face.
"Nicola what is he talking about. Why did you come and find me?"
Nicola walked forward she stood beside Chris, Wesker smiled he was going to enjoy this very much indeed. Nicola looked Chris in the eye, she had prepared for this moment for so long and now the time had come she could not say it.
"Chris when we split up I knew it was for the best…but there was something that I found out after we split up that I should have told you but couldn't. You were so happy when you got into the Air Force I-I could never have taken that away from you, I-I loved you too much to do that to you"
Chris was now on another planet, he had no idea what Nicola was saying
"What are you trying to tell me Nicola? What is it? You can tell me, please what's wrong?"
Nicola took a deep breath, the little voice in her head saying the words that she had rehearsed for so long over and over again.
"Chris after we split up…I found out I was-that I was pregnant. Chris Missy is your daughter"
Chris' eyes widened, for a moment he thought he had heard her wrong but the words came out crystal clear. Chris Redfield had a daughter, and she was here in an Umbrella facility. Chris looked at Nicola who was on the verge of tears
"Why didn't you tell me before? How could you keep this from me?"
Nicola could feel the lump rising in her throat, the news she had kept for six years was out in the open
"Because I didn't want to ruin your career, I didn't want the fact that you had a daughter stop you from doing what you loved…And what you are best at. Chris I wanted to tell you so many times but…I couldn't bring myself to do it".
Chris felt angry
"Then why now."
Nicola opened her mouth to answer
"Well well well Chris isn't this an interesting turn of events. You have a daughter, and what a lovely little girl she is. I shall really enjoy killing her but not as much as I will enjoy you watching me kill her. Oh I have waited for something like this, first I'll kill Missy and then I'll kill your sister and you can watch. I'll make sure you don't miss any of it".
Chris could not contain his anger any longer, although Nicola was standing beside him Chris ran at Wesker. Driven by hate but even that was not quick enough, Wesker kicked Chris sending him crashing to the floor. Nicola knelt down beside Chris
"Chris no Chris please get up"
Wesker calmly walked over. Pushing Nicola out of the way he grabbed the back of Chris' neck and lifted him up. Chris struggled but he was powerless against Wesker's superhuman strength.
"I think I'll disable you and that means you will be able to watch me kill the ones you love without being able to move. Ah but your eyes, you could close them. We'll just have to find a way of keeping them open then won't we?"
Chris looked pathetic to Wesker he almost felt sorry for him but was reminded of what he had done.
"A-A-Alex"
Wekser laughed
"She can't help you, you will be joining her shortly, but first we must get your family in here".
Wesker felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned round expecting Nicola. But before him stood Alex, Wesker's expression went to from annoyance at being disturbed to shock. Alex had heard everything, but she was not about to start asking questions, she said
"Yeah he can join me in kicking your ass"
Alex kicked Wesker; Chris fell out of Wesker's grasp. Alex quickly helped him up and turned towards Wesker. Wesker stood up quickly not taking his eyes off Alex as he did so. Alex stood defensively a sudden sense of self- preservation coming over her. She felt strong, she felt like she could take on anyone or anything.
Chris stood up and looked at Nicola, the woman he had once loved had kept the most important secret from him. Chris had a daughter, not only that but she was here in an Umbrella facility; they had brought her here to get back at him. But there was another danger…Wesker he wanted Missy also, he would stop at nothing to hurt Chris. He would even resort to killing a child. Chris had to do something fast, he had to find Claire and get Missy and Nicola out of the facility. He turned, Alex was facing Wesker, both of them looking straight into the others eyes. Nicola grabbed Chris' arm
"Chris please we have to find Missy…she's in danger we have to find her"
Chris looked at Nicola
"I know she is in danger we all are. I have to get Alex, he could kill her".
Nicola looked at Alex and Wesker, she could not understand why Chris would not come with her and find their daughter.
Alex looked at Wesker, he still had his sunglasses on, she could see his eyes under them they were strange, almost reptilian.
"Now is your time to choose what side you are on Alex…no-one else in the world has the strength you posses. We could be a great team…unstoppable".
Alex sighed at his pathetic attempt persuade her to join him.
"I'll never join you, I would rather be turned into a creation from hell than join you"
Wesker smiled, he liked her courage
"I cannot promise that you will become a hell beast…but I can kill you, how's that sound".
Alex smiled
"You can try".
They both stood inches apart. The tension between them was insurmountable. Although the compound was teaming with people and monsters, all that Alex could see was Wesker, she had a deep rage within which wanted him dead. Wesker stood, ready to attack her.
"I shall do more than that…it is a shame, you should have been so much more than this."
He leaned forward and punched Alex. She flinched backwards.
Wesker threw more punches, but Alex still didn't fall. Instinctively Alex threw herself out of his line of sight and in a flash ran behind him. He turned around, but it was too late. Alex raised her left foot to propel herself in the air, and with an almighty kick of her right foot sent her boot into Wesker's face, shooting him straight in the up while she back flipped back into attack mode. A great force accompanied Wesker's fall to the ground. The ground was almost shaking as he landed.
Inside Alex her rage increased, the pain caused by Wesker only fuelled this. But now something more. A physical factor now came into place. Her strength, speed and stamina had gotten much better than before, and Alex could certainly have held her own. No. This was different. Wesker stood up; a treacle of blood ran from his lip. He looked at Alex and smiled.
He noticed something different about her. Her eyes had changed. Instead of her normal more human eyes, these were cat like. Yellow. Full of intent. Wesker was pleased by this sudden transformation he smiled, Alex could not understand what was happening, all she felt was hate. She hated Wekser, she hated that her brother was dead, she hated what Umbrella were doing. With all her strength she ran at Wesker. Wesker was surprised by her sudden speed, he was knocked to the floor, Alex standing over him.
"I knew you would let that rage out sooner or later. It was just a question of what would release it"
Alex looked at him, her eyes piercing his, in a way they were the same. They had speed strength and stamina like no other creature on the planet. Alex shook the thoughts out of her head, no, she was on the right side. She belonged with Chris and the S.T.A.R.S. she was not an Umbrella creation. She was normal. Normal that word had very different meaning now, she was not normal. She was something that had been created, and now something that had been created to kill. That was it…She was a killing machine. No. Alex was better, she was a killing machine with a conscience. She had ideals of right and wrong. Wesker was wrong. She looked down on him, his smile slowly disappearing, he had not got to her. Alex was going to deal with him once and for all.
Wesker adjusted his sunglasses.
"Alas there is someone in this world who is almost as strong as me, and your name is?"
Alex looked at the creature on front of her. It was the same guy who was down in the cells.
