Resident Evil Rebirth
Chapter 11: Showdown With The V-Act
(Spensor Mansion, Backyard Crypt)
Chris Redfield and Barry Burton quickly headed back to the main hall after slaying the large snake and had the mask in their possession. They had two of the Death Mask Chris suspected they needed and could only hope that Jill and Joseph had managed to grab the other three. They were soon at the entrance to the crypt where Chris had found Edward, as they arrived they found that the crypt had been reopened. Either the monsters did this or the others had the masks they needed.
Barry went ahead of Chris his powerful magnum revolver ready at a moments notice while Chris followed with his Remington ready. They found the tomb was still brightened by the large torches and the didn't seem to be any monsters around the area. Chris heard the faint click of a handgun and turned to the other side of the room seeing a very unexpected face holding a handgun right back at them.
Chris lowered his shotgun "Wesker. What happened back in the main hall? We came back and you were gone." Wesker sighed lowering his magnum "Yeah I know. I heard a scream from upstairs, thought it was Rebecca but you found her before I did. Jill told me. She also told me about the mask, how many do you have?" he asked showing he had one in the shape of a skull.
Barry showed Wesker the two they had, the ears and eyes masks. Wesker scoffed and took them placing them over their corresponding faces which were on the wall. As Wesker placed the first mask in something happened to the large coffin that was suspended above the. One of the five chains broke off and blood sprayed from the coffin causing all of them to jump back in surprise. Wesker looked to Barry "Burton. Keep an eye on that thing." Barry nodded.
Wesker placed in the mask that was missing the eyes one it's matching face and another chain broke causing the coffin to swing back and forth a bit spraying heavy amounts of blood all over. Barry didn't know what to think "Normally I would feel like having a heart attack, but with all I've been threw tonight. I don't think a shock will ever do that to me." he muttered.
There were five faces in a row and he had filled in the mask on the two ends of them which had broken the two bottom chains. The coffin's chains made a star shape so the bottom two were missing now. Chris looked to Wesker "Jill and the others should have gotten here by now." Wesker suggested that he go back and look for them. With that order taken he ran back up the stairs.
Suddenly there was the should of a gunshot. Shocked Wesker rushed up the stairs to check it out but only ended up chuckling to himself as he saw that Joseph had nearly nailed Chris but the bullet missed his head by about five feet. Joseph was breathing heavily "Chris I could have killed you. Sorry man." Chris calmly walked up snatching the Beretta from his hands "Not with that kind of an aim you couldn't. Use the sights for crying out loud. We don't need wasted ammunition." Wesker shrugged and motioned for them to come on.
Once back down in the crypt Wesker placed in the nose and mouth mask causing the two side chains on the coffin to break off and drop blood everywhere. Jill thought she would throw up and brought up her S&W .44 Magnum Revolver which Barry commented on. Wesker looked at the final mask that was missing everything then told everybody to hold on to their heart rates. He pressed the mask in and the final chain broke dropping the coffin to the ground.
The lid on the coffin broke off as it fell onto it's back. Joseph jumped in shock as a message suddenly came over his radio "Frost. It's Chambers. I have good news. Richard and Forest are fine and Edward is on his way to help you." Joseph cut off the radio as Wesker told his to investigate the coffin. He unshouldered his shotgun and walked forward holding the semi-automatic against his chest.
Barry followed his lead but they found nothing more than another dead body in the coffin. Barry looked back toward Wesker "Nothing!" he shouted as footsteps suddenly came down the stairs. Wesker watched as Edward appeared in the doorway holding his Glock and Beretta in his hands "What did I miss?" he asked. Wesker didn't speak but simply motioned to the coffin.
Suddenly as Barry walked away from the coffin a tile in the floor gave way under his foot. Suddenly a large metal cage of bars fell over the only entrance cutting them off completely "What the fuck!" Chris screamed as he pumped his shotgun and faced the coffin. Barry ran over and pulled on the gate to no results. Joseph growled to himself but saw Edward and the others looking behind him.
Joseph didn't know what to expect but quickly turned around seeing another crimson head only it had a beard and larger claws. Joseph tried to raise his shotgun but found himself being backfisted across the room crashing into the wall. The monster breathed loudly and looked to the STARS members. Suddenly there were several moans as the gate opened and zombies started pouring into the room obviously awakened from the graveyard.
Wesker took charge suddenly "Chris, Jill your with me. Barry and Edward make us a walkway!" he shouted out. Barry nodded with Edward and began firing up the steps at the approaching zombies that followed their scent. The monster's heads exploded under the force of Barry's magnum and many of them fell to the ground from the pain of the standard rounds.
Meanwhile the crimson head had stepped out of the coffin and started toward Chris who was a sitting duck. It raised up it's claws but Chris quickly grabbed it's wrist and held it back, he could see the words in white paint "V-ACT #1" stamped on it's head. Chris nodded to Wesker. The captain of the STARS Team raised his Beretta and fired off several rounds which punctured into the monster's side causing it to lose it's grip on Chris.
Redfield quickly pushed the monster back and looked to the others "Lets get out of here!" he shouted. Barry rushed over pulling Joseph up by his arm "Come on man!" he yelled to his injured comrade. Barry fired a sixth bullet from the magnum which slammed into the monster's mid section causing it to only real back in pain. On empty he placed it back in his chest holster and went for his enhanced Beretta M92F called by the STARS Team "The Samurai Edge".
Wesker ran up the stairs following the still shooting Edward Dewey. Barry was behind Wesker heaving Joseph up the stairs while he was followed by Chris who was reloading his shotgun. Suddenly there was a shrill cry from behind him, Chris turned to see that the monster had gotten a hold of Jill and had her to the ground. She wasn't strong enough to hold back the ivory white claws that slowly neared her face.
Chris's expression went from shocked to just plain pissed off as he turned and ran back down into the crypt. The monster looked up as he screamed and it was only to see Chris slam his foot into the monster's face sending him back a few feet. Jill looked up in shock as Chris literally picked Jill up and began running back up the tunnel. The monster however got up and gave chase on Chris.
Jill was placed down and was shocked by Chris's suddenly action back there, she didn't know that he cared so much. Jill looked around to see Joseph taking shots at zombies from his spot in a corner while Wesker and Edward fought them off with handguns. But what happened to that Crimson Head? Suddenly she was answered as the monster rushed from the crypt and pounced on Chris trying to get his teeth into his neck.
Chris managed once again to grab the monster's wrist and hold him back but he wouldn't be able to do it for long. Suddenly somebody grabbed the monster from behind and threw it off of him. He looked up to see Wesker who offered his hand "Get up." Chris got to his feet to see the monster had recovered and was on it's feet. "What do you propose we do captain?" he asked.
Wesker shifted his sunglasses that he was still wearing "Kill it, what else!" he screamed as he opened fire with his handgun. Suddenly there was a barking sound from behind and Chris noticed a pair of large dogs coming up behind them. Chris turned seeing one already making a leap and everything seemed to go slow motioned. As the monster opened it's jaws from fifteen feet away as it jumped.
Suddenly Chris heard a faint sound and a smoking object came from the doorway. It exploded against the animal sending it into a million juicy pieces. Chris looked to see Rebecca who was holding Forest's grenade launcher. He gave a thumbs up as the Crimson Head roared again and charged Chris. Redfield had had enough and already had a plan.
He jumped into the air and kicked the monster across the face then picked up his shotgun blasting one of it's claws. The monster roared as it's right hand was destroyed, it swung at Chris with it's left. But Chris quickly went up to his shoulder and swung his survival knife decapitating the left claw. Now it was truly defenseless. Chris kicked it back against the wall, it's fragile bones cracking under the blow and he went for his belt.
The monster then threw itself on Chris trying at his neck but Chris had another idea. Grabbing the monster's head he forced it back and brought one of his flash grenades to his face. Chris removed the pin with his teeth and slammed it into the monster's jaw then swiftly kicked it back against the wall. He backed up a few feet before getting Wesker's attention "Captain. Head shot! Now!" Wesker didn't know what Chris thought would happen but turned and fired a single round at the monster's head.
The bullet made impact on the flash grenade that would normally be used to stun criminals and felons but at such close range it would give them a hell of a headache. It exploded, literally shattering the monster's head, killing it instantly. Everybody cheered to the now blood sprayed Chris Redfield who had such an ingenious idea. "Don't clap. I only have three of these things left now." he muttered.
Edward tapped him on the shoulder and handed him two more "Don't be so sure. You would do better with them because I'm not so crazy as to do something like that at such close range." Chris took the gift thanking his friend. Rebecca walked down from the steps followed by Richard and Forest who both seemed to be staggering at little. Forest decided to not let Becca carry his Grenade Launcher again as she didn't even have time to aim but somehow pulled it off. Where she had obtained such talent he was not sure.
Wesker spoke "Great job people. I don't think this thing will be getting up anytime soon." he said kicking it's dead corpse. While Wesker congratulated them Chris walked to the unconscious form of Jill Valentine nealing to her side. Chris checked her pulse she was fine just a little bit in shock. She suddenly opened her eyes seeing her rescuer before her.
Without much warning she sprung forth and embraced him as if he had saved her from a fate worse than death. She had tears in her eyes as she hugged him "Chris. Thank you." she repeated this softly to herself until he took her hands "Jill your all right. It's dead. Calm down." he said to her trying to comfort her.
Suddenly Edward came up from the crypt holding something "Hey captain check this out." he handed him a strange stone and metal object with a family seal on it. Wesker looked at it "Where did you get this?" Edward explained it was in the coffin.
Richard staggered forward and took it from Wesker "Hey, I know where this goes. Me and Becca saw it while we were looking around. I think if we place this in this octagon hollow it will open this back door. Wesker took it back from Richard and looked at it smiling "Well lets get there then." Richard nodded.
(Spensor Mansion, Courtyard Threshold)
Everybody found themselves out on a walk way just down the stairs from where Chris and Edward had found Rebecca and Richard. Wesker placed the Stone and Metal Object in the hollow and sure enough there was an unlocking noise from the door. He then turned to look at Rebecca who was checking out Richard's wound "Everybody stay here. Me and Barry will go on ahead and see if we can find anything of interest." Barry nodded sluggishly for some reason and he and Wesker vanished threw the door.
Once they were through the door Wesker turned to Barry "All right Barry. Go through that door and you will find a residence. Wait there for me I'm going to inspect something I saw from the house about an hour ago." Barry nodded and slowly walked through the door. Wesker smiled as he vanished "You gotta love Barry. Takes orders so well." he went through the opposite door.
After about an hour of waiting Chris grew restless "All right, thats it. Something has happened. Edward come with me." he stood up nodding. Rebecca stood up too but Chris told her she couldn't go "Listen guys. There is a house not to far from here. I'm gonna go ahead. I want you to follow me in twenty minutes." Jill nodded.
He turned to the others "Jill and Forest. I want you guys to go together and come after me if I don't come back in twenty minutes. Rebecca. When Joseph comes, go with Richard to that guest house not to far from here." Jill suddenly placed her hand on Chris's shoulder "Chris. Please take care." he smiled and winked at her and he and Edward vanished threw the door. Jill just prayed for him knowing he wasn't as sure as he said.
Little did Chris know is that he was about to see something that would haunt his dreams for the rest of his life...the mystery of the Trevors disappearance would be revealed soon enough.
