Chapter 14

May 11th, 2005

Anna-Margaret Redfield.

Western Slav Republic. A Private Island.

I felt like someone was punching me in the stomach. Piercing through my body with each and every punch. I felt like the satanists were holding me hostage. I looked up. I was tied to a table, naked and covered in blood. A priest covered in a single robe around his waist stood to a large crowd. The table slowly began to wheel backward and three large men circled around me naked too. I cringed in fear as they began to chant in a different language. The three men had symbols of an X and circle on their foreheads. Blood and feces was smeared on their chests. The priest held a mirror to show the crowd what was happening. The three men held the penis' outward. One male was close to my face. The other two men were below my waist. I cried out in fear. I began to shout for Piers, my sister, my brother, no one came to my rescue. The three men's heads exploded and a large squid like creature appeared on their heads. I looked in the mirror at my own naked reflection to see my own body cover in blood from their heads. In the reflection I witnessed my head explode into the same squid like creature stood above my head. I screamed out loud.

Thankfully, that scream had awoken me from my nightmare. I was on the floor in the Western Slav Republic. Almost safe. I coughed a moment and looked over to see of Piers was awake. He had passed out. I shook Piers and noticed a small hack of blood near his face. I took out a tissue from my bag and shook Piers again.

"Piers. Wake up." He coughed twice and awoke.

He looked at me blankly. "Did we-?" I nodded and checked the time.

"We passed out. C'mon we gotta get out of here. We have a sample, the distributor can't be far." I stated. We stood up and I packed up the small case then stashed the case into my knapsack. Piers and I turned to see Joshua in front of us, leaning against the wall. We stood in our place.

"So you two are infected, huh?" He said. He held a handgun supplying a new magazine into it, heh was half smirking.

"Seriously! That's all you have to say after you attacked us!?" Piers yelled. I held him back from attacking Joshua, I wanted him to explain himself and unfortunately, I could not read Joshua's mind at the moment.

"It takes twenty-four hours for the eggs to hatch and take effect." Joshua said.

"You're lying! That's impossible!" Piers yelled.

"I was only following orders." Joshua frowned.

"When we were knocked out you infected us." I growled.

"I could help you get rid of it. If we'd strike a deal." He muttered.

"Why should we trust you? What do you mean?" I asked, I felt like I was asking twenty questions, I hated the fact I could not read his mind.

"I'm playing both sides here. My father is a private investigator. He is really sick, so I came here and pretended to be him. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on here for his job."

"We are American, we are from the Bioterrorism Secret Assessment Alliance Northern Branch. Special Agents Redfield" -I pointed to myself and then Piers- "And Nivans. We can assure you we are the good guys." I offered.

"The BSAA, huh? The new anti-terrorist group. You two took down the FBC and Morgan Lansdale, right?"

"No. That was two other agents." Piers said, I heard a small note of threat in the way Piers spoke.

"The whole world has nothing but rumors to sprout about your services."

"We are here to find the distributor. We are not here to discuss politics and the crusades." I stated, I felt almost trustworthy of this boy even though he bashed a gun into the top of my head. Which unbelievably still ached. I believed him, especially with the note he left behind. I tried reading his mind again to search for the truth in his words. I could not read it, I grew frustrated.

"Are you truely in danger?" I asked.

"From the distributor and Mr. Simmons? Yes." Joshua stated.

"What will happen if we can't stop the infection?" I asked.

"The virus will simply take over. The egg will hatch and the T-Abyss will react with the hatching of the egg, causing uncontrollable obedience. The only thing you can listen to is Jared." Joshua said.

"Dammit. It's just like Agent Kennedy's Report in 2002." I muttered.

"Is there a cure?" Piers asked.

"Yes. But, I myself have not even came close to the vaccine. I'm having the distributor bring me a vaccine case." Joshua said. "But Jared is trying to stop me from getting that case so that I can become his puppet... Can you help me?"

Piers pulled me close by my arm and whispered in my ear. "I don't like this guy. I don't trust him. He'll just screw us over again, only next time we'll be dead."

"What choice do we have? Would you rather wander the island and be attacked by more monsters and people?" I asked.

He breathed outward and made a fist with his freehand, "Fine. But if he tries anything, I promise you, Captain, I'm bringing you back alive to your brother." He muttered.

I smiled inside at his words, I was glad he would bring me back, but I can do it myself, I was honestly more concerned for Piers returning back safely.

"How about we strike ourselves a deal?" Joshua proposed.

"We are listening." I said, leaning on Piers a little.

"If you take down Mr. Simmons, I will get the distributor here to this island and cure you."

"First, tell us who the distributor is so that we know we can trust you." I spat.

"Maybe if we strike a deal I could tell you." He smirked.

"If you were really concerned for your life, I would tell anyone who would offer to help. You're messing with the wrong person, asshole." I growled.

He rolled his eyes. I was beginning to think that he was faking the whole thing, until he shrugged forward and nodded. Damn, these kids with attitudes. "Her name is Jessica Sherawat. I have no idea how she got her hands on the T-Abyss virus and the Plaga, you have it in your bag there." He pointed at my bag. "But, I know she has made many more samples." Joshua said.

An alarm went off. A group of scientists with guns entered the room as the alarms filled our ears.

"C'mon. We gotta get of of here." Joshua shouted, pulling out a handgun.

Joshua began to shoot down some of the zombies while I flipped a table to take cover with Piers. Piers fired his MP-AF at a zombie. I looked up and began to shoot down a few zombies. Soon enough, the room was clear but the alarms still were ringing.

"I can show you a short cut to the next rendezvous point with Jared." He said.

He lead us down a hallway where more zombies tried to attack us. I threw my throwing knife at a zombie that tried to attack Piers. I heard him mumble a thanks and I turned to find a zombie grab me by surprise. I looked down and bit the monsters arm causing him to free me. Joshua shot him down to the floor. "This way." He said.

We followed Joshua to a dead end he opened the chute and began to shoot at the large group headed straight for us. I went in first then Piers then finally I heard Joshua. I fell into a large dump.

"Ugh. It stinks." I muttered.

"I think New York City smells so much better." Piers said after he landed next to me and stood up.

I noticed a large lever and pulled it. The floor below us caved in. We both yelled as we fell down, suddenly Joshua landed next to us. We were in a sewer where the cold water froze our feet and shoes.

"C'mon. They'll follow us." Joshua said, rubbing his the back of his head and scratching his orange hair. As we followed Joshua, I searched for his thoughts but again, I had nothing. I listened for Piers' thoughts as we walked, he seemed focused on the mission at the most and untrustworthy of Joshua. Captain, I think this could be a trap. I turned towards him and nodded so that he knew I heard him. Joshua lead us out of the sewers and into a river. He helped me out of the small running water and then I turned to help Piers out. He lead us to a small warehouse across the sewers entrance where we hid behind a large material box made out of metal. Joshua and Piers looked on both sides of the box to see a large group of infected people with guns and construction materials working.

"How do we get in without being seen?" Piers whispered.

I took a peek and looked ahead to see a large container open. It looked like I could be closed from both sides.

"Hey guys. I have an idea." I smiled.

Chris Redfield.

Western Slav Republic. Private Island Bay.

Water was ripping through my face.

"Barry?" Jill said into her communicator.

"I'm listening." Barry said.

"We found the private island." Jill said.

"Good. We'll be out of contact on that island." Barry stated. "Find whatever is jamming the signal and assist Anni and Piers in finding the distributor. It's all up to you two-" The jamming device had kicked in. We could see the island now and a large building. It appears something was coming out of the building.

"Look there! What's that?" I pointed.

"Oh no! That's a missile!" Jill shouted.

I slowed down the jet-ski and watched it go over our heads. Then, the missile disappear into the horizon. We heard a large blast and turned to see a burst of wind and a mushroom cloud filling the air and land behind us.

"This reminds me so much of Raccoon when I was escaping with Carlos." Jill muttered. "We have to put a stop to all this!"

I nodded in shock and drove into a harbor at the island. A small village stood proudly near the harbor. I stopped the jet-ski near a dock and tied it to a large pole. It was night time the only source of light we had was the fire pit in the center of the village. As Jill and I entered the small village, we grew cautious. No one was in the small town. The sidewalks and houses appeared empty, the only thing that appeared lively was the small church.

"Ew. What's that smell?" Jill questioned.

"Smells like rotting flesh. Let's check it out. It's coming from that church." I muttered.

I walked over to the church doors as Jill followed quietly. I tried opening the door, for a strange reason it was locked. Jill and I looked at each other confused, churches are never locked.

"Leave it to me." Jill smiled, as she took out her lockpick and began to pick at the lock. Then I heard a click. The lock unlocked.

"I should start timing you." I said. Jill giggled lightly. "Ready?"

I nodded and we both opened the door. We stood in shock. There was some sort of torture session was occurring. The crowd was dressed in all black. The women in black veils covering there faces and children beholding this torture. I felt my eye twitch. At the 'altar' was a group of naked priests, men and women drinking blood and cover in human feces. On a large table was a disfigured burnt human, who had many needles injected into it's body. It's teeth were too big for it's mouth. Jill and I pulled out our guns at the people. Suddenly, their eyes turned magenta and their bodies began to deform with fish like features. Jill and I began to shoot down the monsters that came toward us. They threw knifes and rocks as they made their way closer and closer. Jill and I managed to dodge some of the rocks and knifes. I reached into the back of my utility belt and I threw a grenade in attempt to clear the room of zombies. They all blew up in the explosion and disappeared into the ground. Jill and I stared around the room.

"What kind of religion is this?" I asked.

"Satanism. I think." Jill muttered. "I never thought it actually existed."

"Come on, maybe we could find Anni and Piers." I said. I looked around the room for any sort of lock or note. Since nothing was downstairs I went upstairs. I felt a bit hopeless walking around searching for some sort of clue, but then I felt a draft coming from behind a large painting. I looked up to see a man with medium length brown hair and a white and purple robe wrapped around himself. His face was painted red.

"Chris! I found a crank!" Jill said, through her communicator.

I laughed. "Remind you of somewhere?"

"The mansion back in Raccoon City?" Jill pondered, for a moment. "Yeah."

She began to turn the crank and the painting began to move backward at a sixty degree angle. After she finally stopped turning the crank, the painting stopped moving. "There's another on the other side." I said.

I walked over and quickly began to turn the crank until the painting stood up against the ceiling. Jill ran quickly behind me. I let go of the crank and turned to open a door. We found ourselves in a hallway of holding cells at the end of the hallway was an elevator. Jill and I walked passed each cell. They all contained tortured people and people with glowing magenta eyes. They began to grab the cell doors and shake them violently. Jill and I began to run to the elevator on the other side. The elevator shut before any monster could scratch us.

"Phew that was close." Jill said.

"If those things got Anni.." I muttered.

"Chris, we are going to find your sister. You taught her everything she knows. She'll be alright."

Anna-Margaret Redfield.

Warehouse. Western Slav Republic.

We had snuck into this place by hiding inside a container. Thankfully the containers could be opened and closed from the inside. When they moved the container indoors, Joshua, Piers and I snuck out of it and made our way up a couple of stairs. It seemed more of the monster security became more and more tighter. As we stood on the wooden floor I took a couple of steps ahead. Suddenly, I fell through the floor and to the floor below. The sound alerted each of the zombies.

"Shit. Anni! Are you alright!?" Piers cried out.

I groaned in pain. "I'm fine." I tried to pull my legs out from the rubble, I was stuck. I looked up to see a large BOW standing behind the horde. The creature looked like a bird with feet. It's eyes glowed magenta and a voice suddenly filled our ears. "Ah. Joshua. I knew you were always a traitor. You will never find me and you will never get your cure." Jared's voice coldly stated. "As for you BSAA, I cannot wait to have two personal obedient guards." The monster screeched like a hawk.

"You've gotta be kidding!" I yelled. "Piers! Joshua! I'm stuck. We need to take out that BOW!"

"Piers! Distract that BOW. I'll free Anni." Joshua shouted.

I heard the sound of someone jumping and running. Then, I heard the sound of Piers' MP-AF shots. I looked up to see Joshua lifting the large rumble off of me. I quickly crawl out to freedom. As the BOW made its way closer I began to shoot at the monster.

"Ugh! My handgun isn't going to cut this. I need something with a little more firepower." I said out loud to myself.

The BOW jumped into the air knocking over explosive barrels. Piers shot at the explosive material and exposed a weapons container. I notice a shotgun inside.

"Piers! Go for the shotguns!" I shouted. "I'll take care of the monster!"

I began to shoot at the creature and run towards it. It flew in the air growling loudly hurting our ears. I listened as Joshua fired his handgun as well. For a moment I realized I was charging the BOW. I jumped back as the creature breathed fire from it's mouth.

"Be careful!" Joshua said, firing at the BOWs chest. I listened for Piers' thoughts wondering if he had retrieved the shotguns. Before I knew it he had them.

"I got them! I'm heading back to you now!" Piers said into the communicator.

The BOW began to breath fire from its mouth. Joshua and I dodged the BOW's fire successfully.

"Anni!" Piers called out, throwing me a shotgun, I caught it and smiled. After switching the safety off I began to fire at the BOW along with Piers. The shotgun jerked my lungs harshly, regardless of it's fire power I kept shooting. The BOW landed like a pancake on the floor. The BOW stood up on it's legs and growled. The BOW extended it's arm outward as pulled Joshua in. I threw a throwing knife at the BOW's arm and freed Joshua.

He stood up as fired a magnum at the BOW. The creature fell back exposing it's inner organs which glistened in magenta. Piers and I emptied our weapons into the creature. The creature stood up then growled in what appeared to be pain. It backed away slowly groaning and screeching. Then, finally the monster slowly disintegrated into the ground.

"I never thought I'd see anything like this." I breathed softly.

"C'mon." Joshua said. "We have to get moving."

Joshua took point and lead us back upstairs. We found an elevator that went far down underground.

Chris Redfield.

Underground facility. Western Slav Republic.

We stared through the glass elevator at the laboratories. We both noticed another elevator heading down as well. There was a woman in it. Then suddenly, Jill and I jolted forward. "It's Jessica!" I exclaimed.
