Author's Note: Yeah, I'm attempting to make the "author's note" part of each chapter relatively smaller, so that you the fans get to have more nice material to read and then review about, to either flame or praise the chapter. Hopefully it'll be the second one...

" " denote speech, while ' ' denote thoughts.

Finally, thank you for all the reviews so far! I appreciate every new reader and every new review! I anxiously await more reviews, as they are my inspiration for writing...*nudge nudge* Again, thanks for all the reviews! Thank you all so very much! I can't wait for the next batch of reviews!

Also, I'm thinking of changing the summary every time a new chapter is introduced, so that you'll know it's new...

Anyways, on with the chapter...

-Wesker's Hiding Place in Paris, which is an abandoned church 1:41 PM-



"So what are you going to do with the virus Wesker?" asked Ada Wong, wondering what his intentions were.

"Tell me Ada, have you read those reports about what the Miracle Virus is capable of doing?" Wesker suddenly asked, as he eyed the T-Veronica virus sample, "You know, those reports they made when they were testing your blood for the virus?"

"Yeah, they said something about it allowing certain substances to stabilize when mixed together..." she answered back, recalling what she had read in those reports, "What does that have to do with the T-Veronica virus?"

He tilted his dark sunglasses at Ada as he broke his gaze off the virus sample and focused on her, with a smile evident on his face.

"You know how I used to work at Umbrella as a researcher, right?" he asked her suddenly, as he walked closer to Ada, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable. She nodded her head, slowly getting annoyed with Wesker for not answering her questions.

"Well, I've theorized that if the Miracle virus that runs in my blood can bring me back to life, then perhaps it'll be able to speed up the process of the T-Veronica virus and stabilize it..." he said, as held the virus sample in his hand and looked at it.

"Are you saying that you're going to use the virus on yourself?" Ada said in disbelief.

"I've always lusted for power, Ms. Wong...when William Birkin gave me a sample of the Miracle virus, I was almost looking forward to dying because once I woke up, I would have incredible strength and speed...I thought it was true power at the time." remarked Wesker, as he took off his black sunglasses, revealing his yellow pupils.

"But then I once again lusted for power when I saw what Alexia Ashford was truly capable of...she was literally power...she was actually able to harm me with a mere slap of her hand..." he said, cringing at the painful memory.

"However, thanks to Mr. Burnside, I now have the chance to have power just like Alexia Ashford's...I have an O blood type unlike her blood type...and I have the Miracle virus to stabilize the T-Veronica virus and speed up the 15 year process to mere seconds..." said Wesker, as he took off the cap on the vial and gave her an odd look.

"Tell me Ada...would you like to see how a god is born...?" he said to her, as he looked into her similarly yellow-colored eyes.



-Hospital Emergency Room, 1:42 PM-



"Claire..." whispered Chris, as he entered the room where her body had been operated on.

Chris wasn't a big fan of hospitals, seeing as how his mother had died in one due to a fatal disease a few years ago. Every time he and Claire would visit they would get bad news about their mom's condition failing from the doctors, who were struggling to find some type of cure for her. He could still remember her last request from her...

"Promise me you'll protect your sister..." she had asked him, her voice soft and in obvious pain.

"I promise..." he had said back, holding her hand gently while stroking her hair.

"Oh mom....first dad...and now you...?" Claire had said with tears in her eyes, as she held on to her mom tightly.

And then she had died...at least, Chris thought, that her mom died the way she would've liked to, with her two kids that she loved so much, plus, she was now able to reunite with the man that she loved...

Chris snapped back into the present as his eyes darted over to Claire.

"Claire..." he whispered once again, as he came closer to her. Her expression looked peaceful, yet he knew deep down that she was afraid in her final seconds. She had once been so active and full of life...and now she was on an operating table, with the life ripped right out of her so violently by Wesker...

"I'm sorry Claire..." he said solemnly, as he stroked her hair gently, "I...I wasn't able to keep my promise this time..."

He stopped talking for a few minutes, still gently stroking her hair, wishing that this were just another horrible nightmare...

But it wasn't...the mansion...Rockfort Island...Antarctica...Umbrella...they weren't just simple nightmares to wake up from...it was all too real...

And sadly, this was just like all those things...another nightmare that was reality...

"Claire...please tell mom and dad that I'm sorry..." he said, feeling horrible inside but trying his best to keep it there, "I know I wasn't able to keep my promise to mom...but I promise you Claire...I promise that I'll avenge your death...I'm going to make Wesker pay for taking you away from me..."

And with that, he gave his sister a small kiss on her forehead, like how he used to when she was small and was afraid of going to sleep alone, and left the room, seeking revenge...



-Hospital Waiting Room, 1:43 PM-



Leon Kennedy sat down, silently cursing himself for blowing up like that. He hadn't meant all those things he had said to Steve, he was merely acting out of distraught over Claire's death...

'Claire....' he thought to himself, 'Why did you have to die...? Why did you die...?'

Leon had only known Wesker personally for a few minutes during the rescue attempt to save Steve, but during those tense seconds when they were face to face, he hated Wesker more then anything in his whole life for harming the woman he loved. Wesker had reminded him of that Mr. X that he had fought, minus the claws and blank expression. Both had killed women he loved, both had incredible power and strength, and both were pure evil...

'First Ada...now you, Claire...' he thought to himself sadly as he looked at his R.P.D. uniform that he was wearing in disgust, 'Serve and protect...sigh...I'm a cop and I wasn't able to save the woman that I love...'

"Hey there..." said a quiet voice that had come from someone who had decided to sit right now to him. Turning around to see who it was, he was surprised to see Rebecca Chambers, the young medic who had also decided to share a room with Leon.

"Hi there..." he said, trying to be polite, especially after that outburst he had a few minutes ago.

"I hope you're not blaming yourself for this Leon..." she said quietly, as she looked into his eyes.

"Why not...? I could've...stopped Wesker if I had just aimed better..." he said as he hung his head slightly low.

"You did the best you could...we'll get revenge on Wesker..." she said, her expression unusually serious.

"It won't bring Claire back though...." he replied, as he averted his eyes from Rebecca to hide the slight moistness that was developing in his eyes, "Nothing we do will ever bring Claire back..."

Rebecca sighed quietly as she put her hand on his shoulder, which startled him slightly. She shifted her head to look into his eyes and noticed the tears forming.

"It's okay to cry..." Rebecca whispered to him, as she tried her best to comfort her friend.

Carlos Oliviera decided that all the depression in the room was too much for him to handle, so he decided to get some fresh air when he noticed that Jill hadn't done anything after Chris had left to say goodbye to his sister. Thinking that she might need some fresh air, he walked over to her.

"Hey there..." he said quietly, "You look like you need some fresh air...why don't we got outside?"

Feeling heartbroken after seeing her partner Chris in so much pain, she decided it would be a good idea to join Carlos.

She simply nodded and led the way outside of the hospital, with Carlos a respectable distance away.



-Umbrella Pharmaceutical Headquarters, 1:46 PM-



"Do you have an appointment ma'am?" asked the secretary, who was chewing gum loudly.

"I am Alexia Ashford, proud descendant of the Ashford family." Alexia said proudly.

"Okay then, Ms. Ashford, do you have an appointment to see the president?' the secretary asked again in a bored voice.

"I am Alexia Ashford! Is that not enough for you?" Alexia said irritably, getting annoyed with the secretary.

The secretary looked at her with a bored look and picked up the telephone.

"Hey Mr. Prez...there's some Alexia Ashford person who's come to see you..." the secretary mumbled into the receiver.

Immediately Alexia noticed loud yelling on the other side of the line, which meant that the president must've been absolutely exasperated.

"Yes sir...yes sir she's standing right here...what was that sir?...yes...no...yes...yes...okay sir..." the secretary said nervously into the phone, and then put it down.

"I'm terribly sorry Ms. Ashford! He's in his office and will see you right now!" said the secretary, whose eyes were wide open in shock and surprise.

"That's better." Alexia said haughtily, as she entered the office of the President of Umbrella...



-Abandoned Church, 1:47 PM-



Ada's jaw dropped as she slowly backed away, the sight before her incredible...

Wesker had just ingested the T-Veronica virus a few seconds ago, and what was happening was remarkable. At first blood had started to pour out of his neck, and he had started convulsing violently, which Ada thought meant his theory was horribly wrong. Then however, his whole body was enveloped in flames, which made her back away, starting to get freaked out. The flames had burned off his uniform right off, which made her cover her eyes.

She may have been a seductive spy, but she was sort of modest.

After she had opened her eyes, Wesker was standing before her, his skin a dull gray color and covered in some places, as if he was wearing a suit of bio-armor.

"Whoa." was all she could say, as she moved closer to him, wondering if he could still talk or had been turned into a monster.

"I feel pure energy flowing throughout my veins...I now have true power..." he said, sounding high and mighty, as if he were a king, "How do you feel now that you've seen the birth of a god...?"

"I gotta say, I'm impressed Wesker..." said Ada as she regained her cool composure, "So what can you do?"

Without a word, Wesker waved his hand and blood flew out, which quickly caught on fire.

"Whoa." Ada said, as her jaw dropped again.

"That's only one of my many abilities..." Wesker said proudly, as he looked at his hand, which was human a few minutes ago.

"I've lost nearly all traces of my humanity..." he said, as if he missed it a bit, "But now...I've evolved into a God..."

Ada nervously nodded in agreement, even though she thought he was starting to sound little crazy.

"What is our next move Wesker?" she asked, wondering what he'd do with his new set of abilities.

"First we're going to take revenge…" he said, as his hand was on fire, "On those pathetic S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella…"

"Umbrella…? Are you crazy Wesker?!" she said while being a bit confused, "Don't you remember that Umbrella is a company and not a single person? They have hundreds of guards, not to mention B.O.W.!"

He merely smiled at her as if he didn't hear her, which greatly pissed her off, as she did not want to attempt a suicide mission, especially one that H.C.F. could bust her for.

"Time to finish my revenge on Chris Redfield...and Alexia Ashford..." he whispered sadistically to himself, as his body was totally enveloped with fire, which made Ada back away to avoid being burned...



-End of Chapter Sixteen-



Sorry for having this chapter so short, but I have tons of homework due tomorrow since my vacation is ending. I hope you liked the chapter though!

I really hope the idea of Wesker becoming like Alexia Ashford power-wise isn't too far fetched for you guys, cause that would really suck for me, heh heh....*sweatdrop*
