So now, I would like to thank MexicanGamer, Dynamis, Meowth's Toon Dragon, 101101101, Galiega, cole smith, Martin Eder Yanez, LuckyJack, cabdriver andravenlover001, for their wonderful reviews. Your reviews kept me going on!

P.S. These 2 chapters aren't exempted from reviewing too, you know...

Epilogue 1: Sinister Development

The cigarette had already burned all the way to his fingers. The man tapped it impatiently on the against the ash bowl before finally leaving it there to smother. He then looked at the small, yet throbbing scald on his finger.

How could a person of such importance be so careless?

At that moment, his oh-so nervous and jumpy secretary came in. Joshua, was his secretary's name, and the man found both his name and personality to be rather annoying. Joshua wore a pair of glasses, and had short, straight hair, both of which came together to make him look like a nerd. And because he WAS a nerd, his clothes were of the typical kind – a shift with a funny stripped pattern, constantly tucked into a pair of business jeans.

The man lowered his hand slowly down to his pocket, not taking his eyes off of Joshua. This, in turn, made Joshua ten times more nervous.

"Yes, Joshua, what is it now…?" The man's words came out slow, yet it is seething with some sort of sinister under-layer.

Joshua repeatedly shifted his weight from one leg to the other. Every time he had to deliver a message to him, this had always happened. He ignored the crop of cold sweat sliding down his face and gave his report.

"S-Sir, the data you wanted h-has already been re-retrieved…" He stammered.

The man could practically die laughing after witnessing such a scene, but he maintained his composure. "Good, it's about time someone got something done around here!"

He got up from his chair and walked towards the door, brushing past Joshua and causing him to yelp softly. It seems that everyone around him now sees him as a frightening figure, constantly walking around in that black suit, making him look like Death itself.

He could have very well been. If he were to despise or hate someone, all he had to do was snap his fingers, and his opponent would be snapped into two almost instantly. That, was his power.

The man exited his office and walked down the corridor, receiving several nervous glances along the way. Joshua followed after him, his head hung low and his footsteps heavy, as if he was being lead to the execution site by the executioner himself. They passed by several rooms – other offices, laboratories, training facilities – that, until now, still disturbed Joshua greatly, especially the training facilities.

Why? Because the training facilities were not meant for them to use. They were used by the experimental creatures.

Joshua resisted the urge to look inside after hearing several roars and crashes, and raced after his so-called 'master', who had already walked on ahead. They finally reached their designation.

Laboratory D-4, AUTHORISED PERSONEL ONLY!

They stepped inside and were instantly greeted by a woman.

"Voxx! You're finally here!"

She wore the standard lab coat, with the exception of a blue-coloured collar, and had a nametag attached to her breast pocket. Joshua didn't need to look at it to remember her name.

Flair Matilda. Just like Voxx, she was also feared by everyone in the facility. As the top scientist and researcher in Umbrella, she was someone not to be messed with. If you so much as accidentally bump into her without apologizing, Flair could pump you full of chemicals you have never heard of in secret, watching you squirm and suffer, and still get away with it. Unlike everyone, she was impervious to Voxx's intimidation.

That's because she was Voxx's sister.

Together, they formed a frightening duo, leaving trails of suffering and destruction everywhere they walked. Anyone who got into their way, were usually declared missing after a few days, and found with their heads missing.

"So, Flair, what progress have you made?" Voxx asked, obviously excited.

"Much progress, come this way." Flair replied in a creepy, obsessed tone.

They walked over to a computer backed against a glass wall. As the two of them started going through the data on-screen, Joshua couldn't help but peek through the glass wall.

He regretted ever doing so.

Inside the massive compartment, pacing back and forth, was a hideous creature. Its body was supremely thin, and had spikes jutting out of its back, yet its four legs were strong enough to support its fragile body. At the end of each leg, were three sickening-looking claws that made an echoing sound against the metal floor as it walked. Its head resembled that of a bee, but the difference was that its eyes glowed a devilish red.

"Impressive, very impressive I must say…" Voxx repeated to himself, standing up straight and gazing into the compartment.

"Not only that, but Shadow," Flair pointed to the creature. "was able to gather some information on all our targets."

Voxx arched an eyebrow. "Really? So how's our little renegade team doing?"

"According to the data we retrieved from its core, Celine managed to make it out of Raccoon City alive. Furthermore, she's picked up a few more passengers along the way, one of them being a… well, you may be surprised to hear this, but one of them was a former Tyrant."

"Former Tyrant! How could that be possible?" Voxx asked, his voice rising.

"We're not entirely sure as we're still looking into the possibilities of that occurring."

"Well, at least that means more combat training for our friend here, am I right?" Voxx looked at his sister, the same madness flashing in their eyes.

"One hundred percent correct, brother…"

Voxx remembered dealing with Celine and her team for the past year, how he set Alyssa up and lured her into Raccoon City. It was shocking to know that she escaped alive, but Voxx knew she wasn't going to remain alive for long. After they sent in their new creation, Celine's life and that of her team, will become no more.

Celine's team had been giving them trouble for quite some time now. Launching childish sabotage missions and attempts to gather evidence of Umbrella's experiments, they simply couldn't go easy on them any longer. Funny how they always slipped right through Umbrella's grasp, but that, too, was Voxx's plan. To make them think that they're in control, that they're gaining the upper hand, so that they will lower their guard in overconfidence.

And that will be the moment the scorpion strikes. It was all part of war, nothing more.

They walked over to the 2nd glass compartment, where in it, stood a massive, hulking creature that Voxx easily recognized.

Nemesis.

Even without its black trenchcoat, Nemesis still looked as lethal and dangerous as ever. The tentacles branching out from its back swayed in the air, while Nemesis itself simply stood there, transfixed onto the wall.

"So I see that Nemesis escaped the explosion too…" Voxx asked.

Flair put her hand up to her chin, rubbing it as she gave her reply. "Actually, he didn't. But we recovered a sample of his body among the debris, and used that to make a clone. Still as destructive, still as obedient."

Voxx nodded his head in approval. "That reminds me, what of the rebel S.T.A.R.S.?"

At this question, Flair hesitated, obviously troubled. "It was because of those S.T.A.R.S. that Nemesis got caught in the explosion. They, apparently, were able to defeat him."

Voxx merely stared at his sister for a few seconds, before banging his hand against the glass in anger. The sudden sound caused the tentacles on Nemesis' back to snap into life, zooming straight towards the source of the sound. It hit the reinforced glass with tremendous force, sending a slight pain through Voxx's hand. He glared at Flair, then at Nemesis.

"Those fucking S.T.A.R.S…." Voxx murmured to himself.

Then, an idea hit him. If the S.T.A.R.S. were too hard and elusive to be killed by such a creation, what with all their training and skills, how about sending Nemesis to deal with Celine and her team? They were not as skilled as S.T.A.R.S. members were, so Nemesis would make short work of them.

"Flair, change of plans…" Voxx said to her sister, and began laying out his brilliant idea to her.

After Voxx had finished, Flair's eyes lit up. "Why, yes! Brother, what a marvelous idea!"

Behind, all Joshua could do was remain silent, and watch as Shadow continued pacing back and forth, occasionally glancing towards him, sending cold shivers down his spine every time it did so.

It wasn't surprising that he started feeling pity for those who rebelled against Umbrella.
