Disclaimer: Why do we have to do these gay things? Anyway Resident Evil belongs to Capcom and Resident Evil: Remake is exclusive to the Nintendo Gamecube. I am not getting any cash or benefits for writing this I'm just an RE Fan. So now that thats out of the way, let the nightmare begin.

Author's Note: Okay I know officially in Resident Evil Zero the mystery dude in the robs died. But because I may be doing Zero next I'm going to have him do a cameo in this story.

Resident Evil Rebirth

Chapter 21: Battle At The Altar

(Spencer Mansion- Main Hall)

Chris Redfield slowly walked down the stairs softly and quietly his boots beating up some of the dust on the floor. The MP5 rested under his arm, held by the shoulder strap he still had a decent amount of ammunition for the weapon. His Beretta was held in his thigh holster and he had a supply of 30 Parabellum remaining and 90 S&W40 rounds. While the magnum rested in the belt holster he had picked up, a little too convenient. More evidence that they were being set up. Chris hated to believe it but Barry Burton was the only one at this point who looked to have betrayed them. He obviously knew that Jill wasn't dead when he sent Chris down to the underground caves, he had obviously also left her for dead however.

He soon reached the bottom and walked around to the back of the stairs ignoring the disgusting smell of rotting flesh that seemed to come. He walked around to the back of the stairs where he and Joseph had first heard Lisa's crys, he kicked the rotting corpse of the first zombie dog away and looked at the gate. The slots from earlier were eight sided and matched the stone and metal object perfectly, however one side had been forcefully pulled open. He reached into his pockets placing both of the objects into the slots, the locks on the gates came loose, he readied his magnum and walked forward.

Chris found a stairway that went two floors into the underground, Chris followed them slowly as they suddenly turned into spooky caves then into a hallway of wooden boards. Chris didn't like where this was going, this was beginning to truly look like something out of a camp fire zombie story. He found a door and keeping his Beretta ready, slowly pushed it open. He had already switched over to S&W rounds as it was obvious their stopping power was of more use in these closed quarters. The door creeked against the rusty hinges as it opened revealing something that really seemed out of place.

Another cave that was lit up with several dozen small white candles, he moved forward hold up his Beretta by now it was trembling in his fingers. There was a ladder at the end of this small shrine, he walked to it and getting up his guts started down each rung clinging under the weight of his feet. BANG BANG!! Two loud gunshots went off from behind him, Chris turned just as he reached ground to see Wesker standing there aiming at something. "You a bit of a mess up..." he started looking to see Chris.

Wesker slapped in another clip to his Beretta as he and Edward took aim on the monster that was Lisa Trevor "Chris. Come on, take a piece of the action." he ordered. The monster roared before slamming her cuffs into the ground making a large marking in the marble floor. This room was something out of a very fucked up movie. They stood on a platform that was surrounded by a very dark pit, the bottom couldn't be seen. In the center was a large coffin of some sort chains seemed to hold it shut. Chris didn't have time for this as he took aim as well.

Chris lowered his weapon switching to 9mm rounds, he really didn't want to waste the more powerful ammunition on Lisa, he had seen how she took ammunition. His only choice was to try and force her over the edge. Edward moved forward with his enhanced Glock 18 firing directly at the monster, she shrugged off every shot as she stomped forward. Chris joined Wesker in firing at the monster keeping her at bay, Chris allowed the empty clip to fall to the floor and fired off yet another fifteen rounds of Parabellum into the poor creature. Wesker growled as he holstered his spent Beretta and went for his Raptor.

Edward fired constantly seeming to force Lisa back but suddenly she stood up and roared loudly with rage. Wesker looked "What the hell...?" he gawked at the creature. Bulbs seemed to appear on her flesh pushing outward before they burst open, she now had a dozen or so four or five foot, thin purple tendrils coming from her body in random places. She was mutating yet again. She suddenly moved and jumped a clean twenty feet in the air landing right next to Edward. He screamed as she raised her cuffs and slammed them into his side. He stepped back stunned, his flank vest absorbed most of the blow.

The monster moved forward shoulder ramming him back even more Edward grunted as he fell back just at the edge of the cliff. Edward tried to maintain balance but it was too late, Lisa moved forward and swung, but he fell back first vanishing in the darkness however they never heard an impact, was it really all that deep? Lisa roared in savage victory raising her cuffed hands over her head. Chris snarled as he holstered his Beretta and brought up the powerful .357 Magnum. He growled as he fired sending Lisa back a few feet, he fired again she was now at the edge but braced herself against the stone.

Chris narrowed his eyes as he raised the weapon still holding two shots "This is for Edward and Forest you bitch." he snarled and fired off the last two in rapid sensation. Wesker fired as well and upon the second shot Lisa had been sent screaming over the edge. Chris lowered his magnum as he brought up a speed loaded replacing his lost rounds, he still had twelve remaining. He'd have to use them wisely. He looked over the edge "Edward.....dammit." he said mournfully.

Wesker walked up to him as he armed his Beretta "Lets continue." he said. Chris nodded and they crossed the platform to where an old elevator awaited them. Chris looked back and nodded knowing that Edward was most likely dead.

~Meanwhile~

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Edward screamed as he was swept through a rather disgusting storm drain being punched around in the underground pipe system. Darkness, nothing but darkness covered him as he raced through the pipe system. His ribs were broken and he couldn't move or fight the current with his limp and near lifeless body. The liquid slushed him into the pipe system, there was no telling where he would end up, he'd probably have his body pulled out of some sewage treatment plant's machine. What a crappy way to go, he thought trying not to laugh at the accidental pun.

Suddenly light and fresh air! Edward was flung through the air and landed on more water. He then found himself being pushed lightly by a current. He slowly opened his eyes to find that his flank vest was missing, taken off by some of the jagged metal in the piping. He couldn't see strait but he was on a river bank or something. "Buddy. Hey buddy. Are you okay buddy." a voice said. He couldn't see straight, he could hardly heard the gruff voice speaking to him.

A driver of a transfer truck had found him at this ungodly hour, spying him from the road as he flew out of that pipe. The poor guy was alive but obviously in shock. Little did he know Raccoon Forest was now several miles away, he was heading to the sister city of Vixenville. The driver grunted as he picked up the man and dropped him in the passenger seat "Don't worry buddy we'll get you to the hospital." he said driving off. Had he waited another few seconds he would have noticed the mutated scream of anger before Lisa bolted back through the forest heading back to the Spencer Mansion.

(Yeah! I'm not killing off Edward. He'll hold a place if I ever get to a RE2 Story)

(Spencer Mansion- Fountain)

Chris and Wesker soon found themselves at a large fountain, round and filled with water. Chris only had to see the designs once to know how to open it, at the south end was a wolf statue and at the north end was an eagle statue. There were also two circular seals as if they were keyholes. He removed the two books from his backpack opening them, they were hollow "Big surprise." he said as he found two metals in each. He tossed one of them to Wesker and got at his place at the wolf statue.

Wesker spoke up as he got ready at the eagle statue "On three. One.....two.......three!" he said. They both inserted the metals and something happened, the water was suddenly drained out of the fountain as a pair of doors opened dumping it into the sewer system. Another cover then opened revealing something that really didn't come as a surprise to Chris, another elevator. They both made their way down the soaked stairs to it and activated it. It went down and they soon found themselves in what they had been searching for, the underground labs of the Spencer Mansion.

Albert Wesker spoke as they entered "Alright. Lets split up we can cover more ground that way." Chris started forward but then spoke "No way." Wesker looked at him "As your superior Redfield, I..." Chris cut him off as he fired his Beretta into the wall. "Save it Wesker. We're trying to survive here. It's obvious somebody around here is toying with us and God knows what kind of fire power they have." Chris shrugged "Hell how do we know one of our own team isn't working for Umbrella. What guarantee do we have that one of our own hasn't been setting us up." Chris said, it was pretty obvious Brad would run when he saw this.

Suddenly there was a click of a Beretta as Wesker chuckled "None really Redfield." Chris gasped as it was now perfectly obvious. He turned swiftly but fell to the ground as he was knocked over the head by the grip of the Captain's Beretta. Wesker chuckles as he walked farther down the halls running into something else he expected, one of the survivors from the cleaning crew. An Umbrella hired group sent to clean up spills such as this, they felt to see how some of their own faired against the creatures.

He raised his M41A at Wesker but lowered it "Oh Dr. Wesker we thought you were topside. This place is out of control. The others were massacred. We have to destroy this place now. We already took what we need the Tyrant is of no more use." Wesker raised an eyebrow "How so Private?" he asked. "Orders sir. Headquarters wanted two of each creature we got away with what we needed. They want the Tyrant disposed of, it is a failure." Wesker however didn't speak as he raised his weapon again.

"WHAT THE FU....?!" the special force agent gasped before having a S&W round forced into his brain. He fell back convulsing, Wesker looked at him "My last five years work is not a failure you fool. We'll see just how useless it is when I show its full power." he walked on vanishing into the shadows.

The first rule of survival horror.....everybody has their own dark agenda.
