Hey All!
I have returned to work on a better sequel to "Resident Evil: Death Island." As some of you may recall, I started the distant sequel a month or two ago, but I only typed about seven chapters. I decided to stop the story, because it wasn't coming out as well as I'd hoped. I figured I needed to work out a few more details before I reposted, and hopefully I have done better with version 2. For those who might notice, I have trimmed down the number of characters, seeing as how I had far too many, making it harder to write. I've tweaked out a few storyline details, but those who've read most of version 1 will recognize many of the story elements. For character references, see my companion to this, called "Resident Evil: The New Blood, Files." Anyway, now that's out of the way, so on with the story. This prologue is pretty much the same as the original.

Disclaimer: I do not own Resident Evil, or any of the references to actual Capcom characters or story elements. I do not own any songs referenced in this story either, they are there for character development reasons. I do own the following: Rick and Liz Kennedy; Alyssa, Christine, and Daniel Redfield; Joe and Mike Coen; Britney and Tiffanie Barrett; Annie and David Barrett; Lillian Holt, Perry Hall, and Ken Wood; Hunter Barrett, and Stephanie Dumas; and Jake and Tabitha Marx.
Prologue
Six months after the incidents on *Ashford Island, circa 1999 A.D. the corporate war between Umbrella Inc. and the H.C.F came to an end. Thanks to the efforts of Chris Redfield, his sister Claire, and their friends: Leon Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers, Jill Valentine, Billy Coen, and Barry Burton, as well their young charges: Annie Barrett, David Barrett, and Sherry Birkin, The U.S. Government was able to shut down the two largest pharmaceutical chains in the world. As news of the inhumane, and illegal, activities of Umbrella and the HCF was spread, a chain reaction of astronomical proportions brought about what would come to be known as 'The Shutdown of 1999'. All of the known facilities for the two companies were shut down, and many arrests were made. Top researchers, as well as all corporate types, who were implicated in the illegal research, were arrested in their countries around the world and extradited to the U.S.A for the largest Supreme Court case ever witnessed. As the evidence piled up, the case was easily won, and all those held responsible were indicted on charges ranging from illegal research, to falsifying information, and in some cases, treason and murder, as well as bio-terrorism. The families of all victims of the unlawful experimentations were reimbursed for damages, and for the mental anguish caused by Umbrella and the HCF. This landmark case was an historic, and unprecedented show of global unity.
Unfortunately, the relatively new branch of the C.I.A, known as the Bio-Terrorism Investigation Unit had to be shut down as well. This was due to the loss of the unit's three top agents, Amanda Johnson (a.k.a Ada Wong), Carlos Oliveira, and James "Hunk" Christopher, who sacrificed themselves on Ashford Island. However, history was once again made two years later.
The United Nations approved of a new anti-terrorist establishment, that would specialize in bio-terrorism, but would also be used as a countermeasure force for all other acts of terrorism. The new establishment would be run by future U.N. head representative James Michaels, who would be in charge of an elite group of enforcers, that included (in ranking order): Barry Burton, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Billy Coen, Rebecca Chambers, and Claire Redfield. These men and women would become the first official members of the International Special Tactics And Rescue Service, or S.T.A.R.S International. The government funded a multi-billion dollar, military-base-styled headquarters. The S.T.A.R.S Academy would be the centerpiece of New Raccoon City, and would serve multiple purposes. It would be an anti-terrorism training center, a school for younger recruits (Aged 16 and older), and of course, the main headquarters of S.T.A.R.S International.
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, as well as Billy Coen and Rebecca Chambers, would all be married in a lavish triple wedding. In the following years, Sherry Birkin, who had become the legal ward of Leon and Claire, would reconnect with her friends Annie and David Barrett. Sherry and David would eventually marry after meeting again in college. Barry Burton's daughters would eventually grow up and have children of their own. The Redfields, Kennedy's, and Coens, and the Barretts as well, would all have children. Their offspring would grow up and follow in their parent's footsteps. This is their story.

* = see "Resident Evil: Death Island" which I believe is on either page 14 or 15. Please read that story as well, it's gotten 20 good reviews, and it is the story that details the Ashford Island incident. BTW, this story takes place 26 years after "Death Island". For a quick reference: The oldest of the kids is 24 years old, and the youngest is 16-17. In "Death Island" Sherry is 13, David Barrett is 16, and his sister Annie is 12. The other main characters are the same ages as in the games. Chris, 25; Claire, 19; Jill, 23; Leon, 21; Billy, 26; Rebecca, 19; and Barry, 38.
