Chapter 40: Finale & Epilogue

Xan had mutated into a large troll-like creature, much worse than the one Leon had fought before. Rushing to the helicoptor, the creature crushed it with one massive blow, causing a small explosion in the process. Turning towards Wesker, Leon and Sherry could still see the Xan they knew in it's eyes. It was trying to protect them, for now. Wesker ran forward, stopping a few feet away from the monster, and pulled out another gun, firing immediately. When the blast hit, it destroyed a few houses behind it, and the creature was still standing, barely hurt by the gun. "Damn! That should've destroyed it, and it barely even made it bleed!," Wesker shouted, backing off a bit. The creature that once was Xan stepped forward, taking the gun from Wesker, and crushing it easily. Then, the monster picked him up and tried to crush him between it's hands, but Wesker was too strong. Next to the burning remains of the helicoptor, the creature ripped off one of the blades, causing one end to be very sharp. Using all it's strength, it jammed it into Wesker's body, this time strong enough to drive it through completely, impaling him. "You can't kill me, you ugly bastard!," Wesker shouted, feeling only a little pain from the wound. Throwing the body to the ground, the creature jumped on it, and they could all hear a disgusting crunch of bone as Wesker was crushed completely. Turning to Sherry and Leon, the eyes that reminded them of Xan were gone. Replaced by a strange, crazed look like the villagers before, Leon knew what he had to do: kill the creature to protect himself and Sherry. Aiming carefully at each eye, he fired all three rounds from the Magnum, hitting both and missing once. "I'm sorry Xan...," he said, hating himself for what he had to do. Pulling out the rocket launcher, he had only one rocket left. Aiming towards the blinded creature, he fired the only rocket. Waving it's arms in an attempt to bat it away with it's massive fist, the rocket hit directly in it's face, causing the skull to explode in a huge mess. The creature stumbled for a second, then fell backwards, landing on the destroyed helicoptor and bursting into flames. Resting next to Sherry, he dropped the weapons. The only weapon he had left was the hangun he had carried for so long. Checking the chamber, he found there was one remaining bullet. I don't remember that being there before... His thoughts were interupted by a second helicoptor and fighter jets flying nearby. When the helicoptor was near, he could make out a "S.T.A.R.S." logo on the side. Landing carefully, both Leon and Sherry ran up to it, and climbed inside. The pilot turned around to greet them. "Hey, I'm Barry Burton. Sorry it took so long. It looks like you two ran into some serious trouble. We'll talk about that later. Right now we need to get you out of here," the man said. Nodding, they climbed into extra seats and strapped theirselves in, ready for take-off. Lifting up into the air, the helicoptor reached a height where they could see the remains of the village by looking through the window. Hearing a loud explosion behind them, they looked back, seeing flames and smoke going towards the sky where the village had been. Flying off towards the afternoon sun, a call came over the radio from the pilots of the fighter jets. "The village has been destroyed. Going back to base now. We'll meet you there." Both jets flew past, leaving them behind. "Finally, it's over, right, Barry?," Leon asked.

EPILOGUE: A Couple Hours Later

A couple hours later, the helicoptor landed on top of a building. When the blades stopped, both Leon and Sherry woke up, and took off their seatbelts, ready to climb out. When the door opened, some familiar people waited there for them. Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine walked up and hugged them both, happy to see them. Not waiting to go inside, Leon told them everything that happened: about the Ashford Virus, crazed villagers, insane monsters, Xan Meadows, Umbrella and HCF, the executives and Wesker. All of the details leading up to the point where Barry came to pick them up in the second helicoptor. Claire spoke first, "Finally, it's OVER!". Leon smiled, hugging her and Sherry. "Umbrella is finished, permanently this time," Chris said, hugging Jill. "It sounds to me like this HCF was really only Wesker and ex-Umbrella executives. Now that they're dead, the world is finally safe," Barry said, leaning against the helicoptor. Sherry added, "A happy ending to the story... except for what happened to Xan. He was willing to give up the last anti-virus to save Leon." "He was a great guy, and he will be missed," Leon said sadly. "I hate to break up this happy reunion, but we should do some blood tests on you two. If the anti-virus didn't work, and you two are still infected with the Ashford Virus, we'll find a way to make another antidote, but right now, we can't take any chances," Jill said, concerned about everything that had happened. "Something doesn't seem right," she thought to herself. "We're fine, but as long as I'm with Leon and Claire, I'm not scared anymore. They'll protect me," Sherry said, smiling. Turning to go inside, everyone was walking to the door, including Barry. Chris made it there first, and held it open for Jill. She walked through, and Barry went through as well. Claire and Leon were a bit behind, with Sherry last. Almost to the door, they realized Sherry wasn't next to them. "Hey, Sherry, come on!," Claire said. Both her and Leon turned around, realizing she had her back to them, hunched over. Walking back to her, Chris, Jill, and Barry followed, concerned. "What's going on?," Barry asked. All of them standing together a few feet away, Sherry was alone. Slowly, she turned around, standing up straight, and there was a crazed look in her eyes, just like all the villagers who had been infected. Leon yelled, "NO! She's infected by the Ashford Virus!!!"

The screen faded to black and words began to appear in bold lettering:

"File Incomplete. Copy and Save to the HCF Database anyway: Yes/No? Yes."

"Would you to know about HCF: Yes/No? Yes."

"The computer screen goes blank and a flashing message appears: ACCESS DENIED"

"Is this how it really ends? Only HCF knows. The End ... for now."
