Warning: Contains Extreme Spoilers to the new additions to Resident Evil Remake. So if you haven't played the game yet. You probably shouldn't read yet. But either way it's your loss. Enjoy. (Rebecca knows more than the others do. Zero would explain this)
I know I may be cutting a few corners for the original game but it would be too long otherwise.

Resident Evil Rebirth
Chapter 10: On A Mask Hunt
(Spensor Mansion, Moonlight Hallway)
Jill Valentine sighed as Wesker walked back out the way he came from disappearing through the door, he could have been of some use but in Wesker's training he would go out alone and scout around while the others would wait for him. Joseph had gone into a nearby bedroom to search it and Jill decided she would check the other door in the hall. She had no idea that she would have such good fortune.
She walked through a common looking door ending up in a pretty cramped room, in fact the only thing that was there was a stone statue of a tiger that seemed to be attached to a support beam in the room. Jill scoffed "Great I'm already trapped in this mansion jungle and I have to run into the king." she noticed a small inscription on the tiger. It seemed to be some sort of a momorial as it read "A mighty tiger shining in blue and yellow light." Jill thought nothing of it and checked the statue.
She noticed that the eyes seemed to have hallows in them the shape of well cut gems "Wait a minute. Shining in blue light." Jill reached into her pocket removing the blue gem Chris had given her. She knew it was farfetched but decided to see if it would fit. She slipped it in and some sort of force held it in place. Jill smiled as she knew she had unlocked something. The tiger slowly turned to the left and revealed another godsend...
Before her was a stainless steel S&W .44 Magnum Revolver that was alot like Barry's Silver Serpent only his was larger. Jill quickly snatched the revolver from the statue. It slowly slid back into place covering the hiding place. With the powerful weapon in hand Jill felt satisfied but still couldn't wonder. She reached into her other pocket and brought out a yellow gem just like the blue one. She inserted it into the other eye socket and once again it turned only it turned in the other direction. Revealing three speed loaders with .44 magnum slugs, that was eighteen rounds. She swiped it and the tiger statue returned to normal. Jill put her hand across her chest and closed her eyes "Thank you." she muttered to the almighty one as she left the room.
Joseph awaited her outside holding a diary of some kind "I found this in that bedroom along with some guy that had a knife in his head. Looks like he didn't wanna become a victim of whoever is behind this." Jill eager to get any kind of information took the small pocket book and started reading where Joseph had left it open.
May 9, 1998 Played poker tonight with Scott and Alias from Security, and Steve from Research. Steve was the big winner, but I think he was cheating. Scumbag.
May 10, 1998 One of the higher-ups assigned me to take care of a new creature. It looks like a skinned gorilla. Feeding instructions were to give it live animals. When I threw in a pig, the creature seemed to play with it...tearing off the pig's legs and pulling out the guts before it actually started eating.
May 11, 1998 At around 5 A.M., Scott woke me up. Scared the shit out me, too. He was wearing a protective suit. He handed me another one and told me to put it on. Said there'd been an accident in the basement lab. I just knew something like this would happen. Those bastards in Research never sleep, even on holiday.
May 12, 1998 I've been wearing the damn space suit since yesterday. My skin's getting grimy and feels itchy all over. The goddamn dogs have been looking at me funny, so I decided not to feed them today. Screw 'em.
May 13, 1998 Went to the Infirmary because my back is all swollen and feels itchy. They put a big bandage on it and told me I didn't need to wear the suit anymore. All I wanna do is sleep.
May 14, 1998 Found another big blister on my foot this morning. I ended up dragging my foot all the way to the dog's pen. They were quiet all day, which is weird. Then I realized some of them had escaped. Maybe this is their way of getting back at me for not feeding them the last three days. If anybody finds out, I'll have my head handed to me.
May 16, 1998 Rumors going around that a researcher who tried to escape the estate last night was shot. My entire body feels hot and itchy and I'm sweating all the time now. I scratched the swelling on my arm and a piece of rotten flesh just dropped off. What the hell's happening to me?
May 19, 1998 Fever gone but itchy. Today hungry and eat doggie food.
May 21, 1998 Itchy itchy Scott came ugly face so killed him. Tasty.
4 / Itchy. Tasty.
Jill slammed the diary in disgust at all she had just read. Joseph looked at her "Well what do you think, Jill?" he asked out of curiosity. After reading what was in the book he had to know what his superior thought about his findings.
Jill looked up at him "Well it is safe to say that something very messed up going around here. So we can safely say that this has nothing to do with any supernatural shit." Joseph nodded and pointed down the hall. "I found the garden, but the door is locked. You take care of that I'll stay out in the hall and guard you." Jill nodded and ran down the hall.
It didn't take Jill more than a minute to get the door open, removing her lockpick she looked down the hall to see Joseph give a thumbs up as he stood by one of the windows ready for action no matter what it was.
Jill walked threw the door and saw just about one of the weirdest things she had ever seen in her life. It was some manner of large mutant plant that possessed such an amount of control that the roots were hanging in the air. There were two bodies in the pool under it and she realized it was hostile. She could see the mask across from the plant but wouldn't dare try to go threw it. Jill punched the wall "Now what?" she asked herself.
Suddenly she felt a strange wetness on her lower leg, she looked down to see a loose pipe straying water out it's sides. It was used for watering plants and stuff Jill couldn't believe her luck as the sprinklers were just under the plants. After her amazing luck Jill decided she would have to get more in touch with her religious beliefs when she got out of here. She knew exactly what to do, she grabbed the herbicide and dropped the whole bag into the water tank turning it a shade of red. She then turned the valve and watched the fun.
The sprinklers sprayed the deadly plant killer all over the monster weed killing it instantly. As she saw it fall limp Jill rushed forth and grabbed the mask off the wall. This one was alot like the one Edward had only it was missing it's mouth. Jill turned to leave but suddenly a sparkle caught her eye. She checked it out to find there was a glass wall and threw it was a small room that housed another mask. Jill smiled and left the room.
She dashed out into the hall to find Joseph firing into the forest he had a look of pure fear on his face. Jill quickly rushed over grabbing his shoulders as he fell against the wall "Joseph! Are you alright?" she asked half yelling. Joseph swallowed as he nodded he couldn't believe what he just saw, some sort of human shaped creature that seemed to be hunched over with shackles. It had the same roar as he heard in the main hall. Joseph demanded that they don't split up again not saying what he saw he didn't want to scare Jill who was probably nervous enough.
Jill Valentine being the intelligent detective she was traced the glass room back to where they first found Kenneth who shouldn't transform because his spinal cord had been damaged. They then traced it to a room that was already opened, there seemed to be the sound of choppy piano music coming from inside. Jill and Joseph walked in wondering what was going on.
They were instantly greeted by the barrel of a gun as the music was interrupted by the sound of the door. Jill held up her hands at this then lowered them seeing it was once again Rebecca Chambers who for some reason was playing the piano. Joseph walked in carrying his Beretta and his shotgun was placed in the custom holster slung across his back. Jill wasn't exactly pleased that Rebecca was wasting time playing the piano and she was even more annoyed that her goal was no where to be seen.
Jill turned to Chambers "Just what exactly are you doing Rebecca. I mean it's kind of strange to be playing the piano in this kind of situation." Rebecca disagreed as she pointed to an inscription on the piano, it read: "Only Upon The Sounds Of Moonlight Will The Path Open!" Jill then noticed the name of the score she was playing from "The Moonlight Sonata."
Rebecca got off the bench looking to Jill "I found this score and figured I could open this path the piano talks about. But as you probably noticed my skill can't even be considered an amateur's." she said this with humor as she knew it was the truth. Jill suddenly escorted Rebecca from the bench "Let me show you how it works darling." Jill sat down and began to play very professionally. Jill knew something was up as she noticed how stiff the keys were there had to be some sort of secret to this.
"Bravo..." Rebecca whispered dryly at Jill's obvious amount of skill. Jill stood up "Well, when you're forced to take up an after school program... it was easier than putting up with those hormone driven bastards in the drama class." they all chuckled. Suddenly the wall seemed to open behind them.
Jill turned to see this and was amazed this must be what the inscription ment about the path. She could see the mask gleaming against the light, not wanting any unexpected surprises Jill rushed forward and quickly ripped the mask off the wall and quickly turned. She ran back into the piano room. The wall suddenly slammed down and Jill had a mask that was missing it's nose.
Rebecca headed for the door "You guys better get to that crypt I think Chris and Barry should have that last mask by now. I'll see if I can get Edward to join you guys while I watch Richard and Forest." Jill told her to go on and Rebecca vanished threw the door.
Joseph turned toward her and spoke "Here take this. I don't think our friend Kenneth will be needing it anymore but you look like your getting a little cluttered with all that weaponry." Jill took the shotgun strap Joseph offered her. "Thanks. Now lets get out back. I'm sure we've fallen behind Chris and Barry." she said confident that they were alive.
(Spensor Mansion. Second Floor Hallway)During the time that Jill and Joseph managed to obtain two of the death mask and speak with Wesker, Chris would find himself in a battle of gigantic proportions. Chris Redfield ran down the hall that he first found Rebecca while glancing at the map that was in his hands. He soon found a door that would lead to the next floor and the attic, this was after he had killed off five zombies with his shotgun, but only had to use four shells. He check the door finding a crest of an armor. He quickly went for the ring of keys and unlocked the door running through.
he found himself standing in a heavily dusted area and through the next door was the attic, but it was locked too. Cursing outloud Chris checked the symbol on the door finding it was a shield which he did not have. He wanted to find Barry and the mask and get out of there before this snake got either of them, he had always hatted snakes after a large rattler bit his sister in the shin and nearly killed her.
He suddenly noticed a sparkle on the floor directly under his feet, he knelt down and found what he was looking for, the shield key. He unlocked the door quickly and dropped the key in his pocket before heading threw.
Chris Redfield walked into the attic finding it pretty much empty, he was surprised to find that it was completely barren of any kind of storage. He walked forward to check out the area but was suddenly ambushed by another person. Chris found himself looking down the barrel of a .44 magnum revolver, Chris knowing who it was quickly grabbed the owner's wrist pushing him back.
Barry Burton finally noticed it was his old friend Chris Redfield and lowered the heavy but powerful magnum revolver "Chris haven't you ever heard about knocking?" he asked being sarcastic somewhat.
Chris Redfield scoffed as he drew his handgun "Oh Barry. I didn't know that you decided to move to the top floor of a death trap." Chris replied as he walked past Barry. Chris sniffed the air "What is that god awful smell?" he said looking around.
Suddenly it happened. As Barry flipped on a light switch the monster Richard spoke of dropped from the rafters. It was a snake just as Aiken said. But Chris could never have guessed that snakes came eighty feet long and seven feet thick, and it's mouth was large enough to swallow them whole and it's skin looked pretty solid. There were also several lumps on it's back making it look like an infected animal. Chris then saw the object of desire, the mask he was looking for was laying on a large pile of boxes just beyond the snake.
Chris backed up to meet beside Barry as the large monster freed itself from the multiple rafters. Barry looked to Chris "What the hell do we do now?" he asked as he aimed his magnum. Chris looked to Barry "I'm gonna cut around to either side and try to get to his rear. I want you to just keep shooting and stay alive." Chris aimed his handgun.
The snake freed itself from the rafters and fell to the floor quickly rising up to look at the delicious looking STARS members. It suddenly lunged at them as it's large fangs appeared. Chris pushed Barry to the side and jumped himself, the snake took a chomp out of the support beam. Chris looked up and fired a quick burst of five rounds into the monsters trunk-like body. It freed itself looking rather annoyed and slithered after Chris ignoring Barry who was about to take a clean shot.
Chris ran in the other direction as the monster rushed him. Chris managed to get the shotgun off his shoulder and take aim as he jogged backwards. He fired once, the force sending the snake back slightly, but the buckshot wasn't doing much of anything to it. Chris fired again, and again and once again damaging the monster's upper body. He took another shot that went into the monster's gapping jaw spraying blood all over. Chris then found the shotgun empty and he was cornered.
The snake took a sudden lunge at Redfield who quickly jumped to the side, but this time it wasn't enough. The side of the snake's mouth locked around Chris's boot and the senior Redfield found himself pinned. He reached for his fallen shotgun but couldn't reach it. Just as he was about to call it quits a loud bang rang out.
The cold metal of a .44 magnum slug buried itself into the snakes upper neck. Chris looked to see Barry running toward him with an emergency ax, obviously discovered elsewhere. Chris braced as Barry brought it down into the snakes jaw freeing up Chris's foot. Redfield quickly pulled his unharmed foot out and stood up as the snake screeched from the pain.
Chris Redfield feeling pretty bold suddenly jumped on the monster's back getting behind it's head and holding on for dear life as he drew his handgun. He pointed it at the monster's back and fired off what remained of his handgun. The monster feel to the floor throwing off Chris who feel on his back. It glared at his and opened it's gaping maw to chow down.
Barry had been waiting for this. He grabbed the Silver Serpent .44 Revolver Magnum out of it's holster and took aim on the monster's face. He fired at the target he could not miss. The monster's left eye exploded in a rain of blood and gore as it feel limp and away from Chris. The snake was out done and decided to escape, it saw a large crack in the corner of the ceiling and using it's ability crawled right through it and into the forest.
Chris Redfield's mind was at a loss for explanations as he watched the monster slither away, he was telling himself he had not just blown away a Yawn the size of a city bus. Barry helped Chris to his feet "Nice moves there junior. That thing won't be bothering us again." Chris looked to Barry as he slapped in a fresh clip of 9mm Parabellum. "What if that thing makes it to the city?" Chris worried.
Barry chuckled "Well maybe the police station will finally get a chance to use that tank they have in storage." that would have been Irons' idea. Sure the police chief was an asshole and had problems with not being in charge 24/7 but Barry found the Chief almost respectable when he could be seen at his work. Brian Irons took his job very seriously after all.
Chris looked over at the pile of crates and picked up the final death mask that was missing it's ears. Barry looked over at it "Just what the hell is that ugly thing?" he asked. Chris looked back at him deciding to give him a summarized version of the matter "It's a key to this crypt outside. Which is where we are going right now." he pushed past Barry who followed him.
Little did they know. When the book said true evil will awaken it wasn't a figure of speech.
