Chapter 39: Vendetta
"Hello, brother." Alex welcomed evenly with his deep Finnish accent even though Albert was holding his neck with both hands growling in his face, his eyes noticeably glowing behind his ridiculous dark sunglasses.
As Chris and the others took the back of the next incredibly sizable room with guns pointed at the two figures, Chris could see that Alex was being held in the air by one of Albert's tightest grips however, Alex wasn't struggling against it, instead his arms were at his sides lax and a smile was on his pale face.
"Not even a hei Albert? Aina staight tappeluun! Tiedätkö miten keskustella?" Alex conveyed in Finnish, nobody understanding a word but Albert and maybe Ada.
"Talk!?" Albert vented through clenched teeth, breathing heavily. "You have a stasis chamber waiting for me! I am a GOD! You cannot think to dissect me like an animal and keep me in a jar pickled as a trophy forever!"
"My dear, Brother." Alex spat with his arms suspended in the air, and head to the side mimicking Jesus on the cross, "You are not the only one to play god on this dysfunctional earth."
"Play God?!" Albert spat back with vengeance. "I am Gods favorite, I am the purest being you have ever met! I AM God! Not playing him!" He seethed, feeling like he was monolouging modestly.
"You feign such power dear, Albert." Alex whispered moving his head forwards in his brothers tight grip, "You have no idea what true power is."
Sherry saw from the back of the room that Alex's eyes glowed bright green before Albert himself was being propelled backwards across the room growling, his coat flying up and around him as if meaning to protect his body as he crashed into a concrete column meant for holding up the ceiling.
"You will pay for that!" Albert raged springing back to his feet the moment his body fell through the thick square support beam, and began teleporting through the place on a war path to Alex who stood like a statue unmoving from the place he'd been since the start.
"Chris?" Jill asked with a worried voice looking to him for orders.
"Not yet." He answered gritting his own teeth watching the scene play out as Albert lunged for Alex, but this time Albert was the one grabbed around the neck and without much effort from the Finnish brother. "This isn't good." He muttered hearing the blonde growl in frustration and be once again thrown across the room, this time into one of the grey walls.
He wasn't feeling any remorse that his old Captain was finally getting a taste of his own medicine, oh no, he was grieved that the man had been telling the truth about Alex's powers, and was fearing of their own well-being once Albert was out of the picture.
Once again the blonde fell to the floor and growled noticing his shades were cracked, but responded in tearing them from his face and throwing them to the ground, then looked to Jake who glared back, taking it as his cue to.
Sherry yelled for him to stop but it didn't prevent him, and he shot like a bullet towards Alex.
"Are you tired old man?" Alex asked defiantly as he took a defensive stance awaiting Jake's on coming attack, his long dark hair swaying in his movement. "You need your puppy to fight for you?" He sighed with annoyance after slamming Jake in the stomach with a punch that sent him upwards into the ceiling in the middle of the room, his impact had created a plastic tile to crumple under his weight and crash down on to him when gravity decided to play its part.
The broken tile brought a cluster of wires with it, each dangling dangerously above Jake. Alex in his attempt to fry the young Wesker quickly brought out his firearm to shoot a precise wave of bullets into the few thick wires, splitting them in two, and electricity spewed and crackled from the ends generating large sparks.
"Heikko vittu!" Alex barked when Jake successfully rolled out from beneath the juiced ropes preventing his own death, but somehow managing to miss the sudden burst of flames the sparks created.
"Oh... this isn't good." Ada commented dryly with a grimace on her face, watching as the fire grew. "All three Wesker's going at it, doesn't it make you want to eat popcorn?" She asked Sherry who glared back at her with a look that meant she was a second from losing her shit and slap someone. "Only a joke..." Again she turned her attention back to the fight going on just as Albert again stood to attention, beginning to teleport as he had before verging on her previous bosses right with Jake to his left.
"Two on one?" Alex asked looking to the floor as if there were no posing threat before him throwing his hands into his leather trouser pockets. "That doesn't seem quite fair." His eyes began to glow neon as he looked up, then he vanished before all their eyes and appeared behind the father and son duo. "I can play dirty too."
It was like his next movements had slowed down to the ones surveying; Alex's long heavily booted leg came up and kicked Jake in the back making him lurch forwards into the huge computer system, but with the speed he obviously had managed to rotate 180 degrees to his right to further kick Albert in the same place with the back of his leg, and the duo face planted into the screens and electrical ware.
"Holy shit." Chris whispered in awe, Albert could move but only ever seemed to evade oncoming attacks and use them to his advantage while this guy was actually fighting back.
Sherry pointed her gun at Alex's face and began pulling the trigger, she wouldn't wait for any say so, he was hurting Jake! The bullets fired only pierced the main 40" computer screen above the control desk top as seen as Alex had escaped their destructive path, but she was soon struggling with someone as arms came from behind her and a calm female voice telling her to stop.
It was Ada.
"You won't hit him." She spoke through Sherry's grunts in attempt to calm her. "You may hit Muller if you continue to fire wildly." Her words struck home and Sherry became stiff in her arms, "Alex is like Albert, he can see the bullets and can avoid them."
As the words came from her mouth she wondered why on earth had Albert given her poison darts if she wouldn't actually be able to hit him, 'There's more to this than meets the eye.' She thought with a curious frown, letting go of the blonde.
Albert said Jake's name with calm once they were both upright and ready to fight once more, Jake gave a single nod and ran to the back of the room with everyone else.
"You are ready to fight fairly, Albert? Now you have caught your breath?"
The laugh emitted by Albert was one that showed he knew what he was doing, and the stab of Alex's words were a futile attempt to make him angry again, but even though he'd let himself be flung around a little in his moment of anger it was now gone and is calmer demeanour showed through.
"But of course." He retaliated with a small bow of his blonde head, "Fair is fair." His movements started anew, a straight beeline for a head on collision with his brother commenced, smiling at himself that if this went as planned Alex would be dead within ten minutes.
Sherry looked on as Jake readied himself to intercept should his father call for him, Albert was running at full force towards Alex, Alex looked amused at his efforts, then puff he was gone again like he had before, appearing right behind Albert.
"Good." Albert purred as Alex disappeared in his speed, predicting his movements as intended and quickly turned around throwing out his right hand just as the flash of a foot came out of thin air.
Albert pushed the leg back and was ready as Alex's fist came in to smack him in the jaw, luckily he evaded that too, his own speed increasing as he willed it and lodged his hand back around Alex's throat catching some of his hair in his grasp.
"Now." His British accented voice demanded.
Jake sprung into action at his father's instruction, tossing his coat to the floor to reach for the rifle he'd been presented with not long ago, holding it to his shoulder bringing the sights in to his right eye he gave a quick blink before shooting.
The bullet that shot at high speed was not a normal bullet like Chris had originally thought it would be, but was more like a weaponized vial. It was shaped like a normal sniper bullet and cased in some metal, but a small portion showed the middle casing to be glass, and a translucent yellow liquid inside. The bullet reminded Chris of a spirit level.
Albert could feel Alex try to jerk away from his grip, and the inevitable bullet that was coursing through the air towards his back.
Jake had done well.
Alex let out a cry that Ada had never heard before in all her years working for him as the bullet collided with flesh and bone, blood splattered behind him and tore through his purple shirt like it was nothing. Her mouth opened to say something but there was no sympathy there or no words to convey, she was just shocked that somehow Wesker and Wesker Junior had managed to pull off quite a stunt together and make him howl like he was.
His struggling became less as the liquid broke loose from its bullet confines and seeped into his body, but Albert did not let up his hold one bit, not until he was 100% certain that he was being destroyed from the inside.
"Wh... What have you done!?" Alex yelled clutching Albert's arm with his own, feeling most of his strength drain away.
"I am simply taking you back to the way you should be." Albert replied with a mocking grin, tilting his head to the side raising his eyebrows. "A worthless human."
Alex's expression was too much for him to take, and another chuckle escaped his lips, another grin coming to his face. This really was the perfect day so far.
"VITTU! How! How?! PERKELE!"
"I do not take note of demands from beings with flawed human DNA," Albert spoke with amusement, "But as we grew up together for a short time, I will elaborate."
As he took a breath to explain, he threw his failure of a sibling to the floor with force.
"It is a little concoction called Vertumnus, named after the Roman God Vertumnus who was called so because of her ability to change the seasons. The antigen is a type of vaccine that has kick started your immune system into attacking certain strands of your mutated DNA, attacking them and reforming them to normal or ripping them apart, with the help of a few extra things."
Alex cried out in pain again, his body convulsing a little as he felt his body twitch and revert backwards down the evolutionary chain.
"It was based off an attack by Neo-Umbrella who had managed to weaponize a virus into a bullets of sorts."
"The safehouse..." Sherry whispered sadly to the floor not looking to Jake for she was frightened that if she did she would burst out crying because, he'd used the same methods as those C-virus brutes in that attack, even if he was technically doing the right thing, he'd still done it.
"PERKELE! ... How... is this working!?" Alex practically screamed.
"I tested it on a few sample's of varying virus' to make sure this worked on some level." Albert informed with a creased brow, making sure not to tell him that it was his own virus he'd tested it out on for months, the reminder that he'd had to take vials of his own blood month after month, sometimes days at a time made him growl in anger, he should have never subjected himself to doing that, but he'd had no other choice.
"You haven't won yet, Albert." Alex spoke more clearly as he stood to his trembling feet.
"You have failed to recognize that you have not terminated all I carry."
Albert smiled knowingly and nodded.
"We will have to see... Ada, if you please."
Ada frowned wondering what the hell he was talking about, then it dawned on her, it was sitting right in front of her, in her very hands; the crossbow with poison arrows.
Her legs parted slightly as she brought the crossbow into her line of sight, wedging it into her shoulder comfortably, her eyes dead set on Alex even when he turned to her.
"You would not dare, huora!"
"Whore?" She asked with a smirk, "Is that the only insult you have?" This time she smiled as he shouted out more expletives in Finnish towards her, "You forget I worked with you for all these years, your words no longer bother me." She sighed sarcastically shaking her head before re-aiming her crossbow at her ex-bosses chest.
"You used me for all this time, and took my work for granted, you deserve your death." On the word 'death' she pulled the trigger once, then quickly reloaded another arrow, in succession 5 arrows tainted with the green poison sliced right into Alex's chest and again he cried out in pain.
"Too bad." Albert commented with a blank face as he looked down onto his weaker relative. "If you were my real brother I would be ashamed at how poorly you have treated these years in hiding. Stealing B.O.W parts left over from combat, then stealing my own research while I was detained for my rebirth." His face contorted into a look of utter disgust as the dark haired man fell to his knees, seizing an arrow in each hand, awed that he'd been wounded and humanized within minutes. "Pitiful being."
"Perkele... Perkele! This... is not over, yet... Albert." Alex murmured through the pain, managing to push himself from the ground one more time to walk over to the wall near his obliterated computer, finding the walkie talkie sat untouched on the desk.
The click of a guns safety coming off reached his throbbing ears, knowing that this was the end of his life, but he would do what he intended first.
"Any last words?" Albert asked, watching Alex pick up some kind of handheld transceiver, put it to his mouth and push a button at the side.
His final word was his last breath, and it came out as clear as day.
"Blitzkrieg."
- The fighting scenes aren't wonderful in my writing, because I just cant seem to make it work in words for some reason - I'm better with romance scenes than action XD
- The new antigen I made up was an idea that came to me whilst drawing one night, it also spanned from the movie Resident Evil when Alice her powers were taken back by Wesker, but in this sense because the potency was a bit haberdash (because Wesker didn't have Alex's DNA to use to produce it), the serum was more harmful - literally attacking the infected T-DNA and causing most of it to deteriorate into half cells per say - killing him from within, and that coupled with Ada's new poisoned arrows was just the finishing blow. Half dead cells mixed with poison!? OH HE WAS DEAD!
- So, I hope everyone enjoyed this 2 chapters in a day! I had to break it down because the last chapter was incredibly long and it just didn't feel right considering all my chapters have been less that 4,000 words XD
All my love,
XXxxXX
