Author's Note: This is the first of three chapters in the first season of Raccoon City 2005. After this the new season starts in 2006. Though it may be a few days after Christmas. I'm still posting a Christmas chapter. Think of it as a After Christmas Sale. Something like that. I'm trying to quote my friend BKelly95 here. By the way, you may not care to hear this, but I got Resident Evil 4 for Christmas. So I'll be wasting a lot of my time for a while. I'm writing the first part of the two part New Year's Eve special. Hopefully that will be up a few minutes or so after midnight. If not then tomorrow.

Chapter 5: How the Tyrant slayed Christmas...sort of

Wesker walks through the hallways of the underground Umbrella lab, known as the Hive. This underground lab built like a bees hive and each section named as a Hive, instead of sections. If it is any wonder why the different areas of the Hive were given the name Hive. It's because Wesker called everyone to a meeting when the Hive first opened. There he had everybody throw a different name into a hat. For some reason, Wesker didn't like the name Section.

Anyway, Wesker walks through the hallways of Hive 1. Heading towards the main control room where S.T.A.R.S. Bravo teams communications expert, Richard Aiken, worked. Richard's job was always the eyes and ears of the Hive.

Wesker walks in to see Richard working in a not so happy mood. It's Christmas Eve and he should be wrapping Christmas presents. Instead he along with everyone else is working.

"Merry Christmas!" Richard exclaims to a grumbling Wesker.

"Bah Humf---!" Wesker exclaimed.

"It's Bah Humbug." Richard corrected. Richard had the news. Which is giving a pretty shocking news report. So to speak.

"Today, Tiny Tim was mauled by Santa Claus." the anchorman said. "Reports have been coming in that a seven foot tall fat man dressed as Santa Claus, with claws sticking out of his right hand has been attacking children and their families. Reports also claim that this the work of the Umbrella Corporation and that someone in Umbrella is being a bit to lazy."

"Whoa Captain." Richard says. "Talk about a weird way to bring in the holiday season. It sounds like this Santa Claus is a Tyrant. What do you think?"

"I think people are paranoid." Wesker replies. "It seems that someone is killing the children and the families. Not one of our Tyrants."

"Well look at the time. It's time for my hour long break." Richard gets up and leaves. He walks down to a secret area in Hive 6. Hive 6 is full of jerks and Wesker doesn't like them. So he never comes to this Hive. Which would make it the ideal location for a secret meeting among the Hive employees.

"What's the password?" asked Enrico, who chose to keep watch at the door.

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Wesker smells." Richard replied.

Enrico unlocked the door for Richard and he entered. He sits down and Enrico steps away from the door since Richard was the last one to enter.

"May I have your attention please?" William Birkin said.

"No." Chris Redfield joked.

"We've gathered here because of Wesker's lack of Christmas Spirit." Birkin said. "We need to come up with a way of getting some of that Christmas Spirit into him."

"I watched this shortly lived program a few years ago." Joseph Frost said. "Where the animals stole the Christmas Cheer from the host of the show. Then snorted it like it was cocaine after they made the stuff into a powder."

"Oh yeah, TV Funhouse." Carlos Olivera said. "I used to love that show."

"Well that could work." Birkin thought about it for a second. "Let's do it! We now nedd someone with a s---load of Christmas Cheer to drain from their system."

Just then Brad Vickors burst throught door wearing a Santa hat. "Merry Christmas!"

Everybody smiled and stared at him.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Brad got a little scared when they all walked towards him. "Mommy..."

Later Richard returned to his station and saw Wesker still there. Watching the monitors, looking none at all happy.

"I saw you at that meeting Richard." Wesker said. "You can't hide from all the security cameras placed all throughout the Hive."

Richard was speechless. "Well I... Look at that smudge on the upper right corner of that monitor."

"I don't see any..." Richard then knocks Wesker out with a metal coffee pot by the monitors. "Nighty Night..."

Wesker woke up a hour later and found he was strapped to a chair in Brikin's Hive 8 lab. "When I get out of these steel straps! I'm gonna...!"

"You're in no position to do anything of the sort." Birkin said as Carlos, Chris, Jill and Enrico stand behind the mad scientist. "Now time for your medicine."

Birkin injected a pink substance into Wesker and nothing happened. Well nothing happened for a minute till Wesker got stoned off of liquid Christmas cheer extracted from a drugged Brad.

Wesker bends the steel and frees himself. "Merry Christmas!"

"Well that worked better than I expected it to." Birkin said.

Over the next few hours Wesker had been doing things he normally wouldn't do around this time of the year. One thing he did was go caroling, but got sprayed in the face with pepper spray by a number of women. Who thought he was trying to attack them. Luckily he had his sunglasses on. Then he decorated the Christmas Tree. Things went south when he tried to put the angel on top of the really tall tree. He tried to put it on but the ladder fell backwards. Wesker jumped off the ladder and grabbed hold of the tree. Then the tree fell backwards, taking Wesker with it.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Wesker landed on the floor of the main control room and the tree landed on top of him.

The day went without any problems. Except when Richard went speechles as he saw the psycho Santa Claus breaking down the front door to the Hive. "Oh crap..."

Wesker and the others were getting drunk off of eggnog with alcohol. Including those who were to young to drink. Like Ashley Graham, Sherry Birkin, Lott and Lily.

"Let's throw up the booze we just drank!" Ashley exclaimed and the children began to vomit all of the spiked eggnog. Right over the mess hall floor. Pretty soon everybody was getting into the act. Then came Richard's voice.

"I hate to break up the contest to see who can vomit the best. But we have a intruder heading this way. Do you guys mind if you go and check it out?"

"Come on guys, it's probably nothing." Wesker said. They all followed him to the main hallway to find the intruder. They stopped once they saw him or it. It was a Tyrant wearing a Santa hat.

"Oh so that's why the media mistaken one of our Tyrants for Santa Claus." Chris said. "It's because of the hat."

"SANTA CLAUS!" Brad squealed as he jumped into the air.

"NO BRAD DON'T...!" Wesker tried to warn Brad, but it was too late. The Tyrant impaled Brad and tossed his dead body against the wall. The Tyrant let out a roar as it streched it's hands. Unfortunately it's clawed hand impaled the power box and it go electricuted. Killing the Tyrant. Wesker looked at the smoking corpse of the Tyrant.

"Now I never saw that one coming a mile away." he said.

---

Here we find out it was all a story being read by Wesker, in the main control room. He's sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket and a book.

"And that's the story of how the Grinch Stole Christmas." Wesker said with a smile. Chris looks a bit ticked off.

"God, you're an idiot!" Chris said.

Author's Comment: Well this Christmas chapter may be late. Now all that's left will be the New Year's Eve special. Which will be two parts. The two chapters ill basically describe the history of the Hive and show a whole new side to the mansion and Raccoon City incidents.
