…History…

Summer, 1998...

Late July, bizarre murder cases began happening in a mid-western mountain community, Raccoon City. About a dozen victims became part of the incident, discovered nearly half-eaten in the Arclay Mountains.

The Raccoon Police Department sent out the Special Tactics and Rescue Squad (S.T.A.R.S.) Bravo Team to investigate. A few hours within the investigation, Bravo Team's chopper experienced engine failure and was forced to land in the midst of the forest.

From their location, Bravo Team, Captain Enrico Marini commanded a thorough search of their location. The youngest member of the team, Medic Rebecca Chambers uncovered an overturned military vehicle littered with bodies. Beyond that Chambers uncovered the Ecliptic Express, a train that underwent a complete invasion of unknown creatures, hours before the team's arrival.

Chambers met up with ex-Lieutenant Billy Cohen and together they escaped the train and its T- Virus infected passengers. But their troubles weren't over.

They both had stumbled upon an Umbrella Training Facility. The facility itself was also infested with carriers of the T-Virus.

Later revealed, Chambers and Cohen uncover that it was the fault of Lord Spencer and Dr. James Marcus, both deceased. Apparently, both of the two were somehow reawakened by Marcus' work of leeches.

Chambers and Cohen defeated Marcus and Spencer and escaped the destruction of the Training Facility. But, Chambers' troubles were far from over. Upon escaping she stumbles up a mansion.

Hours pass and soon the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team are sent out to search for Bravo Team, under Captain Albert Wesker. Alpha Team discovers Bravo Team's helicopter, mangled in ruins and in complete bloodbath.

Wesker orders a full out spread of the scene to the other S.T.A.R.S. members; Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Barry Burton, and Joseph Frost.

About fifty yards from the start, Frost uncovers a weapon with the grasp of a disconnected hand clinging to it. Frost wasn't so lucky. Seconds after discovering the hand he was attacked by a group of animals.

The rest fired onto the group to save Frost but prevailed. The attackers revealed to be dogs that were carriers of the T- Virus also. Without warning, the remaining S.T.A.R.S. head for the chopper only to see Brad Vickers, also known as "Chicken heart," depart, leaving them stranded.

The group discovers the mansion Chambers went into and quickly barricade themselves inside only to find matters worse. A lot worse.

Chambers is discovered by Redfield and Captain Wesker vanishes all of a sudden. Redfield, Chambers, Valentine, and Burton discover a lab deep underground controlled by the pharmaceutical company, Umbrella.

It turned out; it was the fault of Umbrella, for it was they who conducted the T- Virus research, and they who lost control of it thus, sprouting the cannibal murders.

The S.T.A.R.S. learns that their captain, Albert Wesker was playing them the whole time. He was working for Umbrella as well and was ordered to terminate the S.T.A.R.S. Wesker wasn't so lucky and was killed by the created Bio- Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) Tyrant.

The remaining S.T.A.R.S. members destroyed the creature as well and escaped after Chicken heart's rescuing. The mansion was destroyed by the self-destruct sequence burning away all research of the T- Virus.

Upon returning to the R.P.D., the S.T.A.R.S. story was believed to be a fraud and was suspended.

September-October, 1998...

The T- Virus initially spread through Raccoon City after the confiscation of the newly developed G- Virus. A group of Umbrella forces were sent to the underground labs deep beneath the city to obtain William Birkins research.

Birkin refused and injected the virus into him on the verge of death. The team escaped with the samples but was soon stopped and slaughtered by Birkin, who was now evolved beyond what was human. Birkin destroyed the samples, spreading the virus. It was spread even faster by the species of rats dwelling underground.

Special Agent Hunk of the team survived and escaped with the only sample of the G- Virus and escaped the outbreak.

The outbreak couldn't be contained and Raccoon City was placed under martial law. The incident grew worse. Soon, the citizens of the City were victims of the mutant virus and were turned into blood-thirsty zombies.

Still in city, Jill Valentine remained and was in the progress of escaping. Upon her journey through the dead city she ran into Chicken heart and soon witnessed his gruesome murder by Umbrella's new class of tyrant, Nemesis. Nemesis was sent into the city to kill all remaining S.T.A.R.S. members.

Valentine soon became its prey and began stalking her through the city. She met up with a group of three of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasures Squad; Carlos Oliveira, Nicholai Ginovaef, Mikhail Victor who were hired hand mercenaries to help evacuate civilians and cleanse the city.

Victor was wounded in the side by machine gun fire and couldn't progress and was to rest in City Hall's cable car system. Ginovaef apparently was sensed under Valentine that he was a traitor due to what she saw him do to his fellow U.B.C.S. comrade. He wanted to escape alone with samples of the research by Umbrella and was in the unknown activity of Operation: Watchdog. Exterminating Jill was also a priority on his list.

Oliveira, Valentine, and Victor escaped Ginovaef by the cable car system which took them to the St. Michaels Clock Tower. Their journey was soon brought to a delay as Nemesis made its way onto the car. Victor was killed after assassinating himself in attempt to destroy Nemesis and protect Valentine.

Valentine and Oliveira made it to the clock tower and signaled for a chopper using the bell system only to find Nemesis destroy it with self-guided missile. Nemesis infected Valentine with the G- Virus and Oliveira blew it away to kingdom come.

During their dilemma, Leon Scott Kennedy arrived in Raccoon City to start his first day at the R.P.D. Claire Redfield; sister of Chris Redfield also arrived searching for her brother.

Both of them became victims of the incident. They were soon parted by the destruction of a gasoline truck. Both of them met back after making their way to the R.P.D. Redfield had problems of her own after stumbling upon another tyrant seeking unit she called Mr. X. She also had problems in searching for a small girl within the station.

Leon met with a mysterious woman named Ada Wong. Wong was searching for her boyfriend, John. They both came upon reporter Ben Bertolucci who had locked himself up within a cell.

Redfield discovered the girl and found her name was Sherry Birkin who was being stalked by her father William Birkin and Mr. X. It was soon revealed that Sherry held a sample of the G- Virus within her locket that Mr. X was ordered to get.

Bertolucci became a victim of Birkin and was impregnated. Hearing his screams, Kennedy came back to him after investigating further into the station witnessing Bertolucci death by the birth of a creature deep with his body. Kennedy soon battled the G- Infant and terminated it.

Redfield and Birkin as well as Kennedy and Wong, entered the sewers. Redfield and Birkin had it easy and entered the labs. Kennedy was injured by Birkin's mother Annette. Wong tended to Kennedy and took off after Annette.

Both of them soon entered the labs. Redfield and Birkin encountered Mr. X for the last time, Redfield figured out that it was after Sherry's locket it was after and threw it over a catwalk railing. Mr. X took after it falling off and landed in a vat of molten iron.

Kennedy soon learned by Annette that Wong was not John's girlfriend and that she was just after a sample of the G- Virus were Annette was the only one who had it. Annette soon lost consciousness and Kennedy was able to obtain the virus sample, soon to be confronted by the barrel of a gun by Wong.

Wong demanded he hand over the virus only to be responded by being fired upon in the back by Annette. Wong lost her balance and fell off a catwalk and Kennedy made an attempt to rescue her. He failed as she loosened her grip and fell to her death. Kennedy, overwhelmed with anger threw the sample off the catwalk and proceeded down to the station which housed his escape.

Redfield and Birkin reached the train before him and Redfield was unlucky. Mr. X wasn't dead. It appeared to be in a much worse killing condition and wasn't fond with getting the virus but revenge. Redfield defeated it by the tossing of a rocket launcher by a mysterious woman and blew Mr. X to pieces.

Returning to the train, both she and Birkin escaped. Kennedy made a late boarding and met up with them as the laboratory was destroyed by its self destruct sequence, and escaped the ruined city.

This picks back up to where Valentine and Oliveira. Oliveira went to the Raccoon City Hospital to obtain the only sample of the cure held by Ginovaef. Ginovaef was distracted and dropped the sample and Oliveira took it and barely escaped with his life as the hospital was destroyed by explosives.

Valentine went back to normal condition after being applied with the cure and made her way to the park after Oliveira made a short departure to tend to his objectives. Valentine came across the Dead Factory which was also owned and operated by Umbrella where Ginovaef was torn in half by Nemesis.

Oliveira met back with her through radio and told her that the city was to be destroyed at sunrise. Valentine made her way through the factory and battled Nemesis for the last time after crippling its condition which sprouted its mutation. Valentine and Oliveira escaped by chopper before the city were nuked, destroying all evidence of the incident.

3 Month Later, January 1999...

Still in search of her brother Chris, Claire Redfield ventured to the Umbrella Headquarters facility located in Paris, France. She was not happily welcomed and she merely destroyed half the building along with dozens of Umbrella's employees and was quickly apprehended by Rodrigo Juan Raval.

Redfield was relocated to Umbrella's prison, Rockford Island. Upon arrival the island was attacked by air attack by and unknown organization. Redfield escaped along with Steve Burnside and contacted Kennedy, and to find the island overrun with T- Virus carriers.

After meeting up with the head of the island, Alfred Ashford, they were forced to escape through via airplane as Ashford destroyed the island. Thinking they have escaped for good, Ashford took control of their plane and made them crash land in the Antarctic base also owned by Umbrella.

The duo ran into Ashford once again and threw him off a cliff and departed to a nearby base by snow plower.

Ashford awakened his twin sister, Alexia, who has been in cryo-sleep for fifteen years after unleashing the T- Virus on herself. Ashford died in front of her and Alexia quickly caught Redfield and Birkin and imprisoned them.

On the ruins of Rockfort Island, Redfield's brother, Chris arrived in search for Claire. He found out soon enough by Raval that she had escaped.

Before leaving the island for Antarctica he was confronted by Wesker, his captain thought to be dead. Wesker appeared very alive and much more powerful. Chris escaped his wrath momentarily and departed for Antarctica.

Chris arrived at the base and quickly found Claire. Brother and sister were soon together but, were soon parted as Wesker and Alexia arrived.

Claire found Burnside and made an attempt to free him and he viciously attacked her for Alexia had given him the virus. Surviving the assault, Burnside was impaled by a tentacle and died in Claire's lap. With the door suddenly locked from where she came, Claire was trapped again.

With the virus fused with Alexia's DNA, Wesker needed her to get the virus for himself and demanded she come with him. Alexia rebuffed and introduced her power and ran Wesker out of the scene.

Chris activated the self destruct sequence in order to unlock the door Claire was behind. Claire was freed and Chris battled Alexia and destroyed her with a Linear Launcher and went back for Claire who had taken off to the airplane hanger.

Wesker returned and took Claire with him and Chris followed. Wesker let go of Claire for it was Chris he wanted dead. They both fought and Chris escaped him once again. Claire and Chris escaped the base's destruction and assumed Wesker died in the destruction.

The Umbrella Corporation was then suspended after the destruction of Raccoon City. The company's stocks crashed and Umbrella was finished. The nightmare was over, for now.

6 Years after the Destruction of Raccoon City, autumn 2004...

Leon S. Kennedy was now an agent working under the President's order and was sent to Europe after sighting of a girl who looked like the President's kidnapped daughter.

Upon arriving, he was attacked by a group of disgruntled villages in the location called Pueblo. Kennedy met a villager who knew a lot about the village named Luis Sera who told him that the President's daughter, Ashley Graham was being held in the church.

Kennedy found Graham in the church and met the mastermind behind the kidnap, Lord Saddler. Saddler informed them both that they were now both carriers of the Los Plagas and would soon succumb to him.

Kennedy and Graham escaped the village and tried hiding out in a castle. To their dismay, it was also overrun with carriers of the Los Plagas.

They both met the leader of the castle named Ramon Salazar who ordered Kennedy to hand over Graham. Refusing to do so, Graham was re-kidnapped by an unknown creature and taken to Salazar.

Sera came back to Kennedy with the cure of the Los Plagas only to be killed by Lord Saddler. Saddler took back the sample and Kennedy said to Sera that they would pay for his death.

Searching for Salazar, Kennedy met up with Ada Wong. Wong was presumed dead in Raccoon City and didn't come to a surprise to Kennedy after he read files that there was a third party involved. Her motive was unknown

Kennedy found Salazar and learned that Graham was taken to Saddler's island. Kennedy killed Salazar and went for the island.

Midway through the island, Kennedy met up with his old comrade who had died two years ago, Jack Kruaser. Kruaser was working alongside with Wong and took advantage of Kennedy.

Kennedy killed Kruaser for a key to get to Saddler. Kennedy soon discovered Saddler and Graham and took Graham back with help from Wong. With Wong's distraction, both Graham and Kennedy were able to rid of Los Plagas within their body.

Saddler found his way to Kennedy and both of them fought. Wong tossed Kennedy a launcher and Saddler was no more. In the charred remains of Saddler, Kennedy obtained the Los Plagas sample only to find a gun to his head.

Wong wanted the sample and Kennedy gave it to her. Wong soon activated the self-destruction sequence of the island and gave Kennedy a present for escape.

Kennedy went back to Graham and together they escaped the island's destruction via Jet Ski.
