Resident Evil: Project Alpha
Chapter 1: Off To A Good Start
Ryan Aguilar stepped off of the humming Night Hawk Helicopter only to be met by young woman dressed in combat fatigues. The base on the military island looked like a tropical resort, it was covered with palm trees and dotted with sand patches since it was so close to the surrounding ocean. Soldiers dressed in combat fatigues jogged around the small base as others continued their physical training seemingly unfazed by the helicopter that had landed. Ryan wasted no time in grabbing his duffel bag from the back of the helicopter.
"Hello, Mr. Aguilar. I trust you had a good trip," the young woman said as she approached Ryan.
"Yeah, those Umbrella pilots sure know how to fly," Ryan joked as he gestured towards the black helicopter with the Umbrella insignia on it.
Now that he was closer to the young woman he could tell that she was quite attractive even though her fatigues were worn from training. She was about 23 years old with short blonde hair that came right below her chin, light blue eyes, and a killer body. She was about 5'6 maybe 125-lbs. overall she was a dead knockout. She carried dual Berettas that were holstered on either of sides of her hips, an automatic shotgun slung across her back, and a combat knife attached to her boot.
"I'm Corporal Tanya Williams, and I have been assigned to show you around the base," the young woman said after reading his face.
"I'm Private Ryan Aguilar," Ryan said as he clumsily shifted his duffel bag into his left hand in order to shake her hand.
"Yes, I know who you are," Tanya said as she turned around without returning the handshake.
The base didn't look like Ryan had imagined it looking when he had been asked by the government to come. He had imagined a series of tall buildings done in pure white tile with a lot of men in business suits rambling among them. This on the other hand was exactly the opposite. The barracks, if you could call them that, were grass hut houses that housed a team of six. The hut barracks circled the obstacle course, or what would pass for one. This was going to be too easy; he had spent most of his life in places twice as bad as this.
"This will be your barracks, Mr. Aguilar," Tanya informed him as she motioned towards one of the hut houses.
"Are you in my squad?" Ryan asked as he continued to look over his temporary home.
"Yes, along with four other of the finest. They put you with the best team they have, so I hope you are more talented with a gun than you look," Tanya said coldly as she stepped out of the small hut and into the training yard.
Tanya stepped out into the warm sun as she looked over the training course. The rest of her team was out there; she wished she could be out there with them instead of being stuck here showing this kid around. This kid couldn't be as good as they said he would be. He was only 5'11 180lbs. at the most with shaved brown hair and brown hair.
"Is that our team?" Ryan asked not sounding as cocky as he had moments before.
"Yeah, I'll tell you about them on our way to sign you in and get you some team fatigues," Tanya said as she started to walk away from her team.
Ryan's fatigues were incredibly simple being the standard hunter green combat fatigues except with two embroideries on them. A white and red Umbrella symbol was attached onto the left shoulder of the uniform as well as an old knight's helmet that was painted crimson. His team's name was the Scarlet Knights so that explained the knight's helmet, but what was an Umbrella insignia doing on his uniform he wondered.
"Okay, now that I'm set up why don't you give you me a brief description of our teammates?" Ryan asked as he took a seat on his bunk.
The inside of the huts were plain only furnishing six bunks and an assortment of lamps alongside the bunks. A bright overhead lamp flickered above the bunks casting shadows across the beds.
"Why let me explain it when you can find out for yourself," Tanya said as she gestured towards four men entering the barracks.
The first man to enter the barracks was a man that was 21 years old and about 5'11 160 lbs. with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He didn't look very big, but judging by the swagger in his step he must have been on many missions. Holstered on either side of his hip was a desert eagle and slung across his back was a 30-30 lever action rifle.
"Hi, I'm Jason O'Herron," the man said friendly as he saw Ryan standing in the room.
Before Ryan could even acknowledge the man, a much more menacing man stepped through the doorway. He was about 47 years old and easily 5'10 180 lbs. with light gray eyes and dark gray hair. The man's size wasn't what was menacing; it was the way the man carried himself that was threatening. He had a SVU sniper rifle slung across his back and a Makarov PM 9mm pistol holstered on his left hip along with a Spetsnaz combat knife attached to his boot.
"That's Vasiliy Chernyshev," Tanya said realizing that Vasiliy didn't care enough for the boy to introduce himself.
Ryan quickly gave a short salute to both Jason and Vasiliy as they began to unholster their weapons and lay them down beside their bunks. Ryan quickly did the same and unholstered his colt .45 and unslung his m16 carbine semi- automatic rifle.
Shortly after Ryan stowed his weapons another of his new teammates walked in. A man about 28 years old 5'10 172 lbs. with jet-black hair and cool gray eyes. He carried a colt .45 and M-249. The man wore a serious look, but his eyes gave him away with a carefree personality.
"Hello, sir," Ryan said mistaking him for the squad leader.
"At ease soldier, I'm not the squad leader. My name is Sam Reynolds," the man said with a slight smile remembering that he had been like him before.
Ryan's face immediately turned red from embarrassment. He should have known that a nice guy like him couldn't have been the squad leader. His leader was going to be a hard ass that was cold and ruthless, Ryan thought as he waited for the squad leader to enter.
As if on cue, a man about 24 years old 6'3 210 lbs. with closely cropped blonde hair and green eyes stepped into the hut. He wore a grin from ear to ear as he stepped up to Ryan. He carried dual magnums, an M16 across his shoulder, and a stainless steal combat knife attached to his boot. Ryan quickly snapped off a salute as he noticed him approaching him.
"At ease, I may be your captain but I'm not your boss. My name's Maurice Dupree," the tall man said as he stretched his hand out to shake Ryan's hand.
"Ryan Aguilar, sir," Ryan managed to say from shear surprise.
"Yeah, I know who you are. Hurry and get your stuff put away so you can eat," Maurice said as he hurriedly threw his guns onto his bunk and gave Tanya a quick kiss.
Good job Ryan flirt with your squad leader's girlfriend, you're off to a good start, Ryan mumbled under his breath as he finished unpacking his stuff.
The cafeteria was tastefully decorated Ryan noticed as he stepped into the huge room. The floor was covered in white tile and the white walls were dotted with various pictures. All of the soldiers were sat at a specific table according to what team they were in. There weren't as many soldiers as Ryan would have thought, there might have been 40 at most. Ryan quickly made his way through the line getting what might have been a hamburger and a carton of milk and took his seat beside Jason O'Herron at his team's table.
"Hey, Ryan. I hope Tanya didn't bust your balls to bad today," Jason said with a slight chuckle as Ryan sat down.
"Not to bad. What is her deal with Maurice?" Ryan asked as he bit into his hamburger.
"He's her boyfriend, has been since she got here. He seems to be the only one that can handle her temper and competitvness. Don't worry your not the only one who has tried to flirt with her," Jason said as he ran his spoon through what passed for mashed potatoes.
"Oh, so is the physical training around here hard?" Ryan asked seeing that Jason didn't seem to be to comfortable with the subject of women.
"Not even close to being hard, you pretty much do what you want when you want to. I don't know why we are even here if we aren't going to train," Jason said as he gulped the rest of his milk down.
"All I heard when my 'superiors' sent me here was that it was for training, but why would a pharmaceutical company like Umbrella be funding it," Ryan asked to no one in particular.
"You got me," Jason said as he threw his Styrofoam plate in the trash.
Author's Note: I know it's not much, but I thought this would at least get you used to the characters a little. And the whole story won't be in Ryan's perspective; I just thought that this would be a good way for you to meet the characters and what not. Well anyways, please review it and look for action in the next chapter.
