Resident Evil: Shattered Mirror
Chapter 2: What Happened To Me?
BSAA Headquarters
The gang of Resident Evil, Chris Redfield, his sister Claire, Leon Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers and Jill Valentine bare witness to Melody laying on a table with her HW top removed, only with her black sports bra covering her breasts. Sheva knelt next to her, ashamed of what she saw, Melody mutated...
"Sheva," Jill began. "I'm sorry..."
"No... had I not known this would come to pass..."
Claire came in and took some of Melody's blood from her left arm. "This is no doubt the T-Virus."
"How do you figure?" Jill asked.
"We've dealt with this kind before."
"What exactly is the T-Virus?" Sheva asked.
"Tyrant virus," Jill replied. "It was created by Umbrella. It was derived from the Progenitor virus, designed to take advantage of its mutagenic properties for the B.O.W. development. I'm afraid, Sheva, that you face Melody as a B.O.W.. However, we know Melody was plagued, and according to your report, some terrorist organization invaded the HW base in order to corru[t her with the virus."
"Can it be removed?"
"I remember this cure called Daylight," said Leon. "Dr. Peter Jenkins of Raccoon University created it as a countermeasure for the T-Virus during the outbreak in Raccoon City."
"Do we still have it?" Chris asked.
"I believe so, but since Sheva found Melody this way, I think it's her right to implement the cure."
"I'll do what it takes to save my friend," Sheva said readily.
A few moments later, Claire presented Sheva the Daylight vaccine. "This cure was composed of three different things: V-Poison from mutated wasps, T-Blood from those infected by the virus, and P-Base, a chemical compound that required careful mixing and storage."
Sheva shivered... "What if it kills her?"
After some convincing, Sheva entered the incubation room.
"So Daylight was the cure for the T-Virus. I was not sure how this could work, and I felt more fearful that I could end Melody's life with it. But since it is a cure, I can only pray that Melody comes to. I already knew why this vaccine was called 'Daylight." It would mean that there is no need for an umbrella in the daylight. Hopefully, Melody can open her eyes to see the daylight once more."
Sheva installed the cure into the incubator. The vaccine was generated automatically. Sheva knelt on her right knee and prayed silently in ancient African tongue. After 10 minutes, Sheva looked at Melody.
"Amina, your body is back to normal, but will you ever reach daylight again?'
Melody slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, as well as the rest of her body, reverted back to normal. She suddenly turned her head left and right. Sheva immediately opened the incubator. Melody screamed...
"MEL! MELODY!" Jill rushed to them. "Sheva, what's going on?"
Sheva restrained her.
"Mel... you're safe now."
"Sh...Sheva...?"
"Yes, Amina. it is me."
Melody teared up.
"Melody, are you ok?" Jill asked.
"What happened to me? Where am I?"
"You're inside the BSAA headquarters."
"Jill?"
"You're safe now. How do you feel?"
Melody calmed down. "Well, it felt like I was hit by a bus."
"Amina..."
"How long has it been, Sheva? Look how you've grown."
"As have you."
"Melody, are you familiar with the T-Virus?"
"No."
"You were infected by it."
Melody got off the incubator. "Say what now?"
Jill took Melody to the computer lab where Chris and Leon were examining the T-Virus that Melody was infected with. Melody sees this...
"Wha... is that what I think it is?"
"Yes," Chris answered. "This is the T-Virus, also known as the Tyrant Virus. We're still trying to figure out who injected you with it."
"I know..."
This caught everyone's attention, including Sheva.
"I saw his face..."
"Tell me it's not Wesker," said Jill.
"It can't be," said Jill. "Sheva, you and Chris defeated him before."
"After we rescued you from his control."
"No. Someone who killed my soldiers... my clone."
"Your clone?"
"I saw hundreds of clones of you, Amina."
"Defectives, Sheva. My clone is somewhere. You may find her to be exactly like me when you found me, but her voice is more demonic. And she is not called Melody. She is called "Melonia."
