Author's Note: Well, here is the prologue to the story I'm co-writing with Ben Soulstone. He did the honour and wrote the entire prologue and I just added little bits and pieces. We'll be working on the rest of the story stimultaneously so you'll see both of our writing in the chapters. The prologue is simply a summarization of the events that occured involving Umbrella Corp. and Raccoon City from Wesker's POV. Enjoy!


My name is Albert Wesker, former S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team captain and one of the leading researchers for Umbrella Corp. I had been instructed by Umbrella to lure S.T.A.R.S. members to Spencer Mansion in Arklay Forest, so they would obtain field data on the efficiency of their creations. For my advantage I used Barry Burton, being the family man that he was, to help in the gain for Umbrella. During the occurences in Spencer Mansion, I injected myself with a genetically altered version of the T-Virus given to me by my former partner, William Birkin. This version of the T-Virus placed me in a state of death only to revive me with newly obtained superhuman abilities. After being 'killed' by Tyrant, I expected it to destroy the remainding S.T.A.R.S. members. Unfortunetly, it was killed by Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine who escaped with their lives in the end and destroyed Spencer Mansion. After the incident at the mansion and my rebirth, I went underground to proceed with the plans of Umbrella's competitor, H.C.F.

During that time I teamed with a spy known as Ada Wong. Together we tried to retrieve the G-Virus sample from William Birkin. I had made the assumption that Birkin would already be dead by the time my operative Ada would locate him. My thesis was only half-correct. Birkin had been gunned down by one of Umbrella's operatives named Hunk, but before Birkin died he injected himself with his own G-Virus and became his own creation. While the mass infection in Raccoon City took place, Claire Redfield and Leon S. Kennedy arrived.

Interfearences and complications soon began to arise, such as Ada becoming emotionally attached to Leon and allowing those emotions take over her orders. Because of that we lost the G-Virus samples and it was the cause of Ada's fall. Luckidly for her she was still of some use to me and I spared her life. I was fortunate, however, since Birkin's body still contained samples of the elusive virus. I ordered for those samples to be retrieved, along with anything else that might be of use to us.

I had not been aware that Jill Valentine, another survivor from the S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, was still alive and trying to find an escape out of the infested city with the assistance of U.B.C.S. member Carlos Oliveria. Umbrella had released Nemesis; a gargantuan monster set only to destroy the remainding S.T.A.R.S. members. It failed in its mission and was killed by Jill who escaped Raccoon City with the help of Barry Burton just before it was decimated.

A few months went by and through reliable resources, I discovered that Umbrella had a base on Rock Fort Island and that they had Claire Redfield in their custody. Claire had somehow managed to break into Umbrella's facility in search for her lost brother, Chris. To cause confusing, I was ordered to attack the island. It was the appropriate distraction needed to take the attention from Alfred Ashford, one of Alexander Ashford's offspring. Once there I began investigating information about Alexia Ashford's T-Veronica virus. During that time, I encountered Claire and after a minor clash I was informed by one of my agents that Alexia had been spotted somewhere on the Island. I left Claire, for she was not my main objective at that point in time.

I later discovered that Claire had teamed up with another adolescent by the name of Steve Burnside. To my knowledge the two became emotionally attached, just as Ada had become with Leon. Sad to say, but that would only play to my advantage. Unfortunetly, the Alexia that had been spotted was none other than Alfred – in drag. Because of the attack I had placed on the island and the meddling from Claire and Steve, he set off the self-destruct. Claire and Steve found a plane to escape the island in time, but Alfred was not finished with them. He had set the plane to take them to the Antartic base where the real Alexia Ashford was situated. I took the liberty to follow, for anything that was of any interest to me on the island was destroyed.

Earlier on the island, Claire had sent a distress e-mail to Leon Kennedy that informed Chris of her location. Chris, being the protective older brother, came to Claire's assistance. He also, somehow, managed to escape the island before it was destroyed and followed Claire to the Antartic Base. At this point, I needed to act quickly and work on my objective, which was to recover the sample from Alexia. I eventually found Alexia and requested her to come with me to H.C.F. HQ, but her refusal was quite obvious when she mutated right before me and began to attack. We exchanged blows and had a small scuffle, but her ability to release flammable blood from her wrists became too much of a nuisance. But luck was on my side, when she was distracted by Chris' presense. I took that to my advantage and fled while I still had a chance. Somehow I knew Chris would survive the ordeal, since it has been my pledged duty to cast my revenge on him sooner or later…

I also discovered that Alexia had captured Steve and experimented on him by injecting him with the T-Veronica virus, the same as she had done with her own father and herself. Claire, in an attempt to rescue him, watched in sheer horror as Steve mutated into a tremendous monster, wielding an axe. He became aggressive and hostile and began his attack on Claire, but through some miracle or perhaps the strong affection he had for her, he reversed the affects of the virus and return to his normal human state. Because of his resistance, he sacrafised himself to save Claire from the clutches of death. I later came across his body and ordered my men to take it to H.C.F. HQ for further analysis.

Once again, the facility's self-destruct system was activated – giving me less time to find Alexia and retrieve some sort of sample. Somehow, again, Chris and Claire defeated Alexia in one final brawl and escaped, but not before encountering me once last time. Since Alexia had been utterly destroyed and her fragments held no use to us, I took this time to seek my own personal ambition and kill Chris once and for all. His meddling and constact interruptions had gone past my level of patience. The battle was one-sided, since I was gifted with powerful abilities, but through sheer 'Redfield Luck' he evaded his death. I, on the otherhand, was injured and burned due to having an array of steel pipes dropped on my head. He departed from the Antartic base in a jet with his sibling as I fled in a submarine supplied by H.C.F.

They have not eluded my vengeance, for it is only the begging. With Steve Burnside's body in my custody, I will be able to aquired some of the T-Veronica virus. With the assitance of a new associate, Dennise Fern, we will be able to create a virus much more powerful than what Alexia had created. Fern and I met while I was still a researcher in the Spencer Mansion with Birkin, many years ago. She treated the burns that my regenerative abilities couldn't handle. I have found her to be a brilliant woman and a great asset to my gain of power. She has had extensive military training and also was one of the most intelligent scientists, beside Birkin and myself, working at the Arklay facility. She is one of the very few individuals that I trust…
