Sands In An Hourglass
"The deed is done, now we wait… for the inevitable thing called fate…"
Chapter nine
Ally awoke in the morning and wiped the sleep from her eyes. Despite super healing, her body still felt the ache from the previous night. But somehow it was a good ache, probably just the memories from THAT night… she looked over to her side and saw her lover sleeping next to her, his normally perfect hair was in disarray, locks falling into his face. She chuckled, it was a funny sight.
Putting a hand over his cheek, she smiled, only to feel a strong grip on her wrists and eyes darting in her direction. Wesker had awoken and was still in his, 'defense mode' I guess you could say.
"Oh… it's just you love…" he yawned a bit sitting upright and releasing her hand.
She smiled, "Love~?" normally you call me by my name or heart…"
She heard a scoff and nothing else was said from him.
Ally dodged a blow rolling away from Sheva's kicks and gun fire. She wasn't going to loose to her! Ally sped up and punched Sheva in the face, and a loud cracking noise was heard as the female flew backwards into one of the pipes which held up a platform. Ally smirked it would take awhile for her to recover.
Wesker meanwhile, was dealing with Chris. The blonde and brunette weren't going easy on each other. Chris fired several rounds at Wesker only for them to be either deflected by his gun, or dodged completely. Wesker ran up preparing to ram his hand through Chris's heart, but was shot in the arm. He lunged and missed.
Chris took the opportunity to quickly reload, running as he did so and hiding away into the darkness.
"Where are you Chris?" Wesker taunted, his vision being horrible in the dark.
Chris smiled, "Seems even you loose things in your old age huh Wesker? Memory and sights the first to go!" he insulted.
A low death growl was Wesker's reply.
Ally had begun to take on Sheva again, the African woman standing her ground a lot better this time around. Ally fought hard against her but didn't see one thing coming and that was that Sheva had a shotgun on her back. Ally lunged into the air to smash her foot into the woman's face, but received a chest and stomach full of shotgun shells. She groaned as the shells began to dispel themselves from the wound, but that didn't change the fact that it hurt like hell! She'd get that woman if it was the last ting she did!
Ally looked over as her vision blurred a bit to see what was going on. Staggering to her feet, she tried to make the wounds heal faster.
"Sheva! I got him give him the serum!"
Ally flinched, "The serum…!?" she thought, "An overdose will kill him!"
She ran over to where the incident was, but was too late, Sheva had slammed the serum into his chest and injected the whole vial. Ally screamed, running over, and slamming her fist into Sheva's face before kicking Chris out of the way.
Wesker staggered back gripping at his chest, letting a loud growl leave his throat as he screamed in pain.
Ally felt her eyes water up. Was Wesker going to die? She feared that the most… Wesker looked at the two partners and nodded towards Ally, "Come, we'll continue the plan as scheduled!"
"Yes!" she followed close behind and darted into the plane as Wesker collapsed temporarily next to a wall.
His vision blurred as he looked about the room, focusing and un-focusing. Soon however, he felt a small warm hand on his face. One he was familiar with. Looking up, and too weak to shove it away he looked up to see Ally.
"Are you ok Albert?"
"I'm fine," He made a bit of a snarl.
Ally knew he was in pain and didn't mind being yelled at. As they sat inside the plane, Ally held her breath waiting for the seemingly unstoppable duo.
----meanwhile-----
A young woman appearing about the age of nineteen stood at a machine punching in numbers and moving dials around vigorously. Her short just below the shoulder length sandy blonde hair, swung slightly in front of her face as she pushed up her black glasses. Her brown and blue eyes scanned once more over the research she had prepared and smiled, "After so many years of research… I'll show them… I'll show them all!!!!" She chuckled, looking into the tubes before her.
A man with blonde hair floated in the left, a woman with even longer blonde hair floated in the right, she snickered, "Soon, you'll see… you'll see why I should have deserved you. All these years of cell regeneration, all these years of searching for eternal life, I may not have found the latter, but I may as well be a damned immortal!" She gave a quick chuckle as she began to drain the tubes, awakening the figures inside.
The battle seemed to rage on, Ally was having trouble trying to help her partner, as the uroboros tentacles now sprouted from various areas of his body. She hadn't tried to stop him when he had injected himself with the virus, for she knew his dream. Keeping along side, she got as close as she could without becoming harmed.
She saw him raise one big tentacle in the air. Running over she ducked next to wesker, as he drove the tentacle down to the ground and caused a roaring tornado to surround them. The wind was sharp on her ears, but she could handle it. Once the tornado had stopped she ran forth and slung her hand back, pistol in hand and went to ram it forward only to be knocked backwards by a foreign force. Ally winced as she felt a sting in her arm, an odd cold burn.
"Ally! Are you alright!?" Wesker called over, surprising Ally that he would care.
"Yeah, I'm fine! Just a…it's a burn?" Confused she looked over the injury, indeed it was a burn. But it was a cold burn, mush like liquid nitrogen of a sort…. She stood up and looked in the direction of the attack, leaving Wesker to fight off Chris and Sheva on his own for a moment.
"Hello dear Ally…" chuckled a voice of pure venom.
Ally looked in the direction of the voice, but worried about Wesker turned to go assist, only to be smacked in the back with another cold burn.
"Arrgh!" She cried out, rolling back over and steadying herself, "Who the hell are you!?"
A figure moved out from the shadows, she bore short sandy hair, and some sort of see through glasses, with one blue and one brown eye staring at ally, "Why… don't you remember me Ally? I am your sister… well of a sort, my name is Appolla…"
Ally shook with frustration hearing Wesker fight alone, she wanted desperately to help her lover, "I've never even heard of an Appolla!"
"A shame… well… it is to be expected… I was taken away, far away from mother and father, whom soon forgot about their precious daughter!" she snarled, "No matter, I know mom and dad love me more…"
She snapped her fingers and as quick as she had, an impossible sight caught Ally's eyes, her hands shook as she saw what she thought she would never witness again.
