But Dad!

Evan stumbles through the halls, his mind going a million different directions. He barely hears the deep rush of air as Volvagia prepares for another blast, then he dives/stumbles into the nearest room. His mind crumbles away as the wall melts away, revealing the green scales of Volvagia's nose. Its nostrils flare and Evan holds his head, the strands of the virus giving him a migraine. Evan watches through a blind haze as Volvagia snorts, searing the floor, then it backs up, turning back around the corner. Evan laughs weakly and then gasps, hot pain coursing through his body. He watches as his chest expands, then contracts, crushing his lungs. He coughs up blood and then listens, hearing a repeating whooshing sound. He turns to the hall and begins to silently scream and scramble back as something black comes into view, floating in the air.

His vision clears momentarily and he closes his eyes at the form, Draconis! No!

Draconis floats toward him and opens her long mouth, her tongue rolling out, slight steam rising off of it. It shrieks, the sound instantly bursting Evan's eardrums. He holds his head and screams, blood running from his ears. He watches as Draconis flaps her wings, kicking up dust from the floor. Evan begins to squint his eyes as a bright light burns through her chest, casting the entire room in an orange light. Evan begins to back up, then he screams as an orange fire covers the room.

-Draconis-

Draconis closes her mouth and the flame dissipates. She looks at the pile of burning muck on the floor and shrieks, listening as the other five call back. She turns to the hall and flies through the halls, doing barrel-rolls to turn the corners. She stops as she meets her mate, and the other four females behind him. She shrieks and flies up to her mate, who blows her back.

She shrieks again and flies over him, then begins to attack one of the other females. As Draconis attempts to slash the other's face off, her mate jumps up, blocking her attack, thus taking her claws to his face. Her mate looks at her and growls, the sound knocking all five of the females back. Draconis shrieks and lands on the ground, her feet locking around a body. She brings it up and bites the head off, then swallows it whole.

Trudie swallows the last piece of pork-chop and drops her knife to her plate, "Thank you, Mrs. Ely."

Mrs. Ely looks at her and shakes her head, "Call me Aya."

Trudie nods and grabs everyone's plates, "Let me clean up. Sean, take these."

Sean grumbles as the plates are shoved in his face, then he gasps as Trudie sits back down, and begins to talk to Aya. Trudie smiles at a joke Aya made and jerks her head to the door, as a key is shoved into the lock.

She pushes the chair back and says, "Someone's here."

Aya steps past her and waits by the door, as it opens to reveal a man covered in snow.

He shakes his head around and smirks, "I'm home," then looks at the new faces, "I think."

Aya smiles and says, "Welcome home, did you destroy the lab?"

The man smiles and nods frantically, "Oh yeah, uh, Sean? Is he here? Oh, Sean, I need you to restock my pack."

Sean groans and walks back into the kitchen, obviously not too happy to see him home so soon.

The man looks at Trudie and Aaron, and asks, "Who are these two?"

Trudie steps forward and says, "Trudie Clark. This is Aaron Meteora."

The man steps forward and shakes her hand, "Pleasure to meet you, name's Terry. Terry Ely."

-

Sean smiles as he walks out to the shed and laughs, "Dusty and Aya, my parents. Mom uses her real name, why doesn't dad?"

He walks into the shed, with his dad's pack on his shoulder. He drops it onto the ground and pushes a hidden button on the left shoulder-strap. The top pops open and a shelf rises up, a single grenade left in the pockets. Sean turns to a case and pops the lid off, revealing an arsenal of 40mm grenades covered in sawdust. He grasps a handful and slides them into the pockets, then slides the strap down, locking them in place. He finishes up and throws the bag over his shoulder, his eyes catching a square pack resting behind the crate.

He pulls it out and smiles, "Well, maybe I'll sneak a M-79 out."

He slides the M-79 into the slot on the side of the pack, then loads it with grenades. He slings it over his shoulder as the door opens, his father standing in the doorway.

Dusty smiles at the M-79 Sean is sneaking off with, and says, "Like father, like son. Didn't Aya send you a M93R and an AK-Modified?"

Sean gasps and smiles, "Uh yeah, she did, but I like the traditional weapon. As you said, 'Like father like son.' Can I uh... Borrow this?"

Dusty frowns, then nods, "Yeah, as long as you do me a favor..."

Sean doesn't like the look in his dad's eyes and groans, "But dad!"

-

Trudie smiles as Aya tells of her experience with HCF back when their Isle Eras was still operational.

She frowns and replies, "This Thomas person sounds horrible. You say he was infected with Isis? What is Isis?"

Aya smiles and says, "A new virus we were working with, it was still very unstable. Actually, I think Umbrella's Fusion Virus is the perfected form of it."

Trudie frowns at the mention of Fusion and gasps as pictures of Krueger pass through her mind, before and after his mutation. Her mind flashes the blank look in his eyes one last time when Aya speaks up.

"Remembering something?"

Trudie shakes her head to clear the memories and replies, "Just a face from my past. How old is Oliver?"

Aya has a distant look, then replies, "Excuse me? I was somewhere else. Oh, Oliver is ten. I had him a year after our final encounter with..."

Aya's head jerks to the side and Trudie follows her gaze, resting on the man, Terry.

"Hey, what you two talking about? Can I join you?"

Aya smiles and grabs his hand, "Yeah, we were just discussing our problems with Umbrella and HCF."

He nods and asks, "So, Trudie, what have you done to Umbrella?"

Trudie shrugs, takes a sip of her tea and replies, "Not much, but we plan to destroy the White Umbrella HQ in Arizona. Actually, that's why we're here.. We need some ammunition."

Terry nods and says, "I guess I can trust you. Uh, my name's not really Terry, it's Dusty."

Trudie arches an eyebrow and replies, "Wait. You have an alias? Is your name really Aya?"

Aya nods, "Yeah, but our last name is Stracener. And Sean..."

Sean's voice cuts in, "What about me? I finished alphabetizing the ammo. And I got rid of the teargas."

Dusty nods and tosses him a pack, "You earned it. Now, how much ammo you needing?"

Aaron steps up finally, producing an envelope from his person, "Here's the whole list. We have the guns, all we need is the ammo."

Dusty and Aya look over the list and Dusty coughs, "Two-hundred RPGs? Are you kidding me? I don't have that kind of ammo! I can probably get it within a week, but DAMN!"

Trudie frowns and says, "I knew that might pose a problem.. Uh, just give us an even hundred. Wait, just give me half of everything. We'll make due."

Dusty nods and turns to Sean and Oliver, "Sean, start taking the crates around front, Oliver, you can help them pack it all away."

Sean and Oliver nod and walk off, leaving Trudie, Aya, Dusty, and Aaron to discuss the basics.

Dusty looks at Aya and smiles, a wicked glint crossing his eyes, "How many troops you guys got ready?"

Trudie frowns and replies, "About three hundred."

Aya coughs and retorts, "Is that it? You're going to need help on this one."

Trudie shakes her head and replies, "Not really, the rest are just for backup and guards for the entrance. Sean, my friend Dylan, a few others, and I are the ones going in to destroy them."

Dusty nods and replies, "I'm sending you my two guys from the HCF Bio-Weapons Countermeasure Force to help. These guys are the best. Who knows, I might even make an appearance."

Trudie frowns and replies, "Ok, just make sure they are here," she hands him a card, "within the next three days. And they have to supply their own guns, since we only have enough for our guys."

Dusty nods and replies, "You'll be amazed at the guns they'll have. Well, you guys can stay here tonight, it's kind of late. I'll help you finish loading the ammo."

The four of them walk out to see Sean and Oliver loading the car with the cases of ammo. Sean grunts and position the last case into the trunk, then closes the trunk, his back popping as he reaches up.

Dusty walks up to him and pats him on the back, "Good job. Let's hit the sack. Here."

Sean looks in amazement as Dusty places two red magnum rounds in his palm, the smell of ether faint on them.

Sean clutches them, "Are these?"

Dusty nods and replies, "You are going to need them. I can tell."

Sean smiles and slides them into his breast pocket, listening as they clank against a pocketknife. He pulls it out and flicks the blade open, then twists his wrist, catching the moonlight in the blade. He tosses the blade into the air and brings his foot down on it, pushing it into the dirt.

He looks at Dusty and says, "I know I will."

-

Pete looks at the screens as they spew static and he spits, "Damn it, are they all loose?"

The man next to him frowns and replies, "Yes sir. And they are all in the same location. Shall I dispatch the Zeta-Rhyno Program?"

Pete frowns and replies, "How many are left?"

The man types away as the bunker rocks, "Three. All just now finishing up with their last Fusion injections. Do I set them loose?"

Pete nods and replies, "Yes, and make sure they reach Draco-Program."

The man smiles and presses a few keys, then slides his thumb over the Enter key.

Three booms sound directly in front of them and heavy footsteps storm off to the courtyard, where the six Dragons lie waiting for their next meal.

-Volvagia-

Volvagia's ears perk as he picks up the footsteps, something heavy, and coming right for them. He snorts and his five mates float behind him, then rest their heads on his tail. Volvagia blinks his eyes as the three forms come into view, their heads sparking electricity.

The one farthest from him growls deeply and runs at him, brandishing its claws. It jumps into the air and drives his claws in between his eyes, but the claws snap on the scales. Volvagia growls and snorts, sending its breath over the creature.

It shrieks as its skin falls off, and its head rolls off its shoulders, slamming into Volvagia's head. The bones that were once one of the creatures clatter to the floor as the other two run at him, their feet slamming into the floor.

Volvagia turns from them and snorts, his first mate shrieking as she flies forward. She flaps her wings to carry herself above them. Her chest expands and she opens her mouth, her scaly tongue rolling out. She breathes in with a raspy breath and exhales, bright orange fire flowing smoothly from her mouth.

The creatures scream as they instantly burst into flames, then explode in a burst of electricity. The waves of electricity catch her wings and she writhes in pain as she flips and spins to the ground. She slams right in front of Volvagia and begins to twitch. Her eyes meet her mate's, and Volvagia snorts. She shrieks lightly and twitches some more. Volvagia watches her twitch, then breathes in deeply, finally baring his teeth. He slams his jaw into the ground and snorts onto his mate, killing her instantly.

The other four float around him and squawks in protest to the sudden heat. Volvagia turns to the wall and breathes on it, melting it down to the diamond plating, three human faces looking back at him.

-

Pete screams and shouts, "Oh my god! They're going to break through!"

Pete runs around, holding his heart, oblivious to the red cloud filtering through a crack in the diamond-plate. Pete turns to the woman and gasps, his breath catching in his throat. He stumbles back and slams into the desk, lying down on it. The pain runs up through his right arm, and the heart attack wins out, his life passing from this plane, to the after-life.

The red mist flows through the room and into his body with his last breath, Fusion attaching to his cells, a few strands flowing through to his stomach, where the remnants of his steak resides.

-Fusion-(1)

The steak begins to swirl, then attach itself to Pete's stomach, then passes through, beginning to fuse with his cells.

His blood cells turn from red to brown, then to black. After another hour of cell-lysis, Fusion has completed the formation of TDNA.

-

The man and woman gasp as Pete's cooling body jumps up, then crashes to the floor. His body begins to flop as his skin bursts, revealing the beginnings of a mutation. From Pete's lips comes the sound of a strangled horse.

The woman coughs and says, "Oh no, we're contaminated..."

(1) As of right now, I have to explain what Fusion does. I feel I owe it to you.

Fusion is basically a catalyst for, well, fusion of DNA. For example, you put a strand of Lion DNA, a strand of Rhino DNA, and a single drop of fusion into a vial, it creates the basic TDNA (Tri-DioxyRiboNucleicAcid) for the Zeta-Rhyno Program. You combine a strand of Gecko, Iguana, and Frog/Toad DNA, with Fusion, you get the Draco-Program.

Now for blood-transfusion. When a person is infected with Fusion. (Keep in mind, Fusion doesn't dissipate in open air like the T and G viruses) Human DNA is combined with another DNA strand, causing massive mutations, hence the Hulk-Creature. If a Human is infected via a creature of Fusion, like Krueger, the TDNA of the creature combines with the Human DNA, creating a Neo-Fusion creature. After a few-creature-human infections, the TDNA becomes unstable, thus causing complete cell-lysis.

I hope this cleared a bit up, now, review if you want. CoRpAsItE
