Final chapter. I will re-edit the whole entire story eventually just to make sure everything is good.
One last time.
Disclaimer – I don't own Resident Evil but I do own the DVD's lol.
At the end of the day,
When it comes down to it,
All we really want is to be close to somebody.

Alice dropped down with the barest of thuds as she connected with the elevator floor surface finally entering the facility itself. She reached out grabbing the nearest torch light that had been perched on the wall before running the torches flash light over the walls that had been splattered with blood. Alice was instantly hit with the image of Lickers. She diverted her eyes away from the bloodied walls and continued down the facility corridor. Alice entered the large room at the end of the corridor that was filled with technical equipment, her gun raised and pointed as she dragged her attention over every inch of the room.
"Alice."
The soft voice barely a whisper caused Alice to whip around gun raised and pointed at the white ghostly figure of a girl. She lowered her gun realizing why she hadn't heard the approach.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you," the hologram replied dryly in a British accent, "I am the artificial intelligence…"
"I know who you are," Alice said cutting the hologram off, "I knew your sister. She was a homicidal bitch." Alice said maliciously but sounding sarcastic at the same time.
"My sister computer was merely following the most logical path for the preservation of human life," the holograms dry comment caused Alice to roll her eyes.
Alice had heard it all before and had not believed it then. But without commenting Alice turned away from the holographic form of a girl as she placed her pistol back in its holster, "So what happened here?"
"Dr. Isaacs returned in an infected state," the hologram answered, "He had managed to get some of your blood onto his hands and it managed to seep into the pores thus contaminating him."
Alice knelt down as the hologram moved to stand beside her. Bastard got a taste of his own medicine. Literally. Not only that but she had been the one to infect him, his prize possession. She turned to face the hologram giving the hologram a curious look, "But Umbrella would be able to take care of one infected."
"Dr. Isaacs treated himself with a trial and error cure that was derived from an unknown sources blood," the hologram turned to face Alice fully, "The trial and error based cure has caused a massive increase in mutations and has caused an aggravation to the process of the T-Virus DNA embedding."
"Meaning?" Alice asked.
"Dr. Isaacs's mutation has increased past what the T-Virus is capable off."
"Unknown source you say?"
"Yes an unknown source that is only located in Albert Wesker's files that are embedded beyond my parameters." The hologram form off a child answered. "You must deal with Dr. Isaacs Alice."
Alice had already planned on doing so, whether or not the British doctor had the virus in him. "Take me to him."
Alice stepped up to the large metallic door that led to the lower levels of the facility. Alice glanced around the door before eventually pressing the sound button on the screen on the left side of the door. She started stripping of any unnecessary items of clothing while she listened to the White Queen.
"I have Dr. Isaacs contained in the lower levels of the facility but I cannot hold him there for much longer."
Alice nodded un-holstering her pistol with a nod in the direction of the door, "All right, let's go." The door opened an Alice shivered slightly from the sudden burst of cold air in her direction. She stepped inside but froze the moment the White Queens sentence left the holograms lips.
"And Alice…" there was a pause before it continued, "Be careful."
Alice looked back over her shoulder as the door closed. Maybe she had been too harsh on the hologram; it didn't matter now anyway she had to finish what she came here to do. She continued down the hallways until it opened up into yet another technology enhanced room but the striking thing about the room was the powered water bubble that sat at the end of the large room.
Alice made her way over to the bubble cautiously ready for any sudden surprise attacks. As she neared the bubble her stomach dropped while she took in the occupant of the gravity defying water bubble. Once she was close enough to the lit up bubble she couldn't help but reach out to touch the bubble – whether it was to see if it was in fact real water that was being forced to form a circle or the fact that Alice just needed to feel something that was just as much as mystery as she was – was unbeknownst to her.
Alice's attention was drawn away from the bubble and its occupant when a shadowy figure moved quickly in the corner of her eye. Most people would have ignored such a movement and passed it off as their imagination…but she wasn't most people. She knew abandoning such a line of inquisition meant danger around the next corner.
Alice moved cautiously a few feet away from the bubble but refusing to move away from the small glowing light that lit a small area. She knew something was out there but she just couldn't see it. Before she could react she was knocked backwards causing her to stumble and fall into the watery bubble startling its occupant and breaking whatever seal that held the bubble in place as the water flooded the room. Alice's reflexes caused her to pull out one of Kukris and launch it with a ton of physical strength behind the throw. She watched it impale the creature that had to be Isaacs before her attention was drawn away from the creature to the now falling occupant that she barely managed to catch.
Alice stared down at the figure as she heard the creature's footsteps disappearing in the distance. It came as no surprise to her that the figure in her arms was yet another clone. She brushed a small strand of hair out of the clones face as she heard the labored breathing coming from the clone as it tried to gather oxygen into its lungs. Alice closed her eyes as the clones own eyes slipped closed and the inhalation and heaving for oxygen stopped.
Alice lowered her clone's body to the ground before covering it with an Umbrella scientist lab coat that had been left untouched on a hangar. With one more glance down at the dead clone body of herself she made her way towards the door that she was sure Isaacs had left through.
With extra determination she continued down the hallway that opened up into a room that she was all too familiar with. She stepped inside the room that brought back dreadful memories for Alice but it wasn't till she saw the photo on a small end table that she actually felt like vomiting. She turned away from the photo at the reflection in the frame barely dodging the swinging arm of Isaacs.
Alice rolled to the ground before getting to her feet and pulling out the last remaining Kukri she had on her. Last remaining weapon she had on her. She swiped it back and forth along the stomach line of Isaacs barely missing tissue with each swing. She spun out the way as Isaacs made yet another attempt at crushing her beneath his tentacle arm. She backed away before herself and Isaacs began a circling pattern looking as if they were both predator and prey.
Alice dodged the arm and took another swing slicing the side of Isaacs's waist before spinning around to the back of Isaacs and slicing him diagonally across his back. She went to take another swing but Isaacs caught her wrist and threw her backwards causing her to sail through the air for a few meters before sliding the rest of the distance losing her Kukris in the process.
Alice coughed looking up towards a healing Isaacs. She was surprised at first but then remembered that he had in fact been infected by her with the T-Virus and who knew what the Unknown sources blood contained.
"You can't kill me," Isaacs's deeper voice resounded around the room.
Alice made a run of determination towards the Kukris a few meters in front of her but was halted beside the weapon by the tentacles grabbing her neck before squeezing. It was immediate strangulation, she grasped at the slimy tentacles wrapped around her throat looking for any means of ridding herself of them.
Alice glanced down at the Kukri imbedded in the floor boards; she stretched her arm out but was mere centimeters from the blade that would give her freedom from the slimy arm of Dr. Isaacs. She was losing consciousness and fast but the image of Claire and the promise she had made the redhead was enough to give her a re-found sense of willpower. She lifted her right leg before slamming it down onto the floorboard. She wouldn't die she promised Claire.
Alice watched the Kukri spiral in the air before reaching up to catch it and bringing it down over the tentacle arm severing its connection with her throat. She gagged slightly for oxygen as she wrenched the dead tentacles around her throat off.
Alice knew what was coming next and with her renewed willpower, she glanced up in time to halt the tentacles mere inches from her face. The look on Dr. Isaacs face was priceless, so with a thought and a nod in the direction of Isaacs she sent a Psion blast throughout the room, throwing Dr. Isaacs backwards and through a large sturdy wall.
Alice shook her head feeling the weakened state of her body as she dropped to the ground clutching her head in agony as the blood started it's trickling once more. She looked up past the broken and shredded floorboards in time to see Isaacs stand up and make his way out of the hole in the wall. What the fuck was it going to take to kill this guy?
"I told you." He spoke maliciously, "I can't die."
Alice was readying herself for another fight but it didn't matter a few seconds after Dr. Isaacs had finished his sentence she found a large resemblance of her Psion blast coming towards her, causing her to be lifted into the air and thrown back through a sturdy wall of her own and into a clone of the laser room from the Hive.
Alice groaned as her slide halted, she had lost her Kukri somewhere in the middle of Dr. Isaacs blast. She dragged herself backwards away from the approaching Isaacs. It wasn't in fear but she needed time to come up with an advantage. "No," she pushed herself up and kicked Dr. Isaacs with enough physical force to kill an elephant. She acted immediately not giving the doctor any time to give her any of his own. Punches to the face, punches to the chest, punches to the stomach but none seemed to affect him for very long.
Alice soon found herself being thrown back and against the end of the room's wall. She groaned once more, it was probably a stupid time to have the thought that she did but right then and there when she looked up to see Dr. Isaacs making his way over to her she realized…it was revenge, it always had been.
"For so long, I thought you were the future." Dr. Isaacs commented.
Alice looked down at the ground, Claire had been right all along and if she hadn't so damn hell bent on revenge she would be off with the redhead on their way to Alaska and not in a bloody laser room with a mutated Dr. Isaacs.
"I was wrong," Dr. Isaacs spoke once again as he looked down at his former experiment. "I am the future."
Alice's attention snapped up to Dr. Isaacs as she shook her head at his supposed revelations while chuckling to herself, "No." She said dryly making sure he got the message, "You're just another asshole." She watched as the laser light lit up in the short distance behind Isaacs, "And were both going to die down here."
Alice watched as Dr. Isaacs received the message loud and clear before turning around to see the crisscrossing laser coming towards him. Alice shielded herself with her arms as she heard the squelching sound and smelled the burning smell of laser wire slicing through flesh. Alice closed her eyes hoping Claire never knew of her death. It wasn't till a few seconds later when she realized she was still breathing and in fact was still aching pretty badly that she looked up to see Dr. Isaacs body pieces littering the floor but no laser.
Alice breathed a sigh of relief as she pushed herself up and made her way out of the laser room and back down the hall to figure out exactly how the laser had stop…better yet come to life in the first place.
Alice looked towards her clone that was still standing naked with only an Umbrella scientist's lab coat to cover her frame. She gave a small nod in the clone's direction before turning to face the laptop in front of her. She hit some key brining up the Tokyo facilities briefing room, "You won't have to wait that long boys." Alice spoke leaning against the table, "Because I'm coming for you." She glanced around the room making note of each and every chairman. "And…" she drew out enjoying this little routine and by the look of her clones face the clone was also, "I'm gonna be bringing a few of my friends." She chuckled into the camera of the computer before hitting a few buttons and shutting the laptops lid, disconnecting her from the Tokyo facility.
Alice turned her attention to her clone as they both stepped over to the bubble filled room behind the eight inch thick glass. She had one more objective left and then, she promised herself she'd find Claire and fix what was wrong between them – she had to – the woman had slowly worked her way to becoming all of Alice's life. Since she was sure that if it weren't for her promise and thoughts of Claire in the replicated part of the Spencer Mansion she would have died at the hands of Dr. Isaacs.
"So what now?" the clone asked.
"I say we finish this."
Alright so I have already finished the first two chapters of the sequel but I will not be posting it until after my holiday so you got to wait a good seven months. Sorry guys/girls.
