'So I was wrong… I thought he'd used up the container to poison Jennifer Parker…' Naomi said at the conference. 'But he injected it into himself… 300 ml of concentrated T-virus inside his blood system… How's he even alive?'

'The vaccines contain only 10 ml of weakened T-virus cells, and during the testing intravenous injections proved extremely harmful to the patient' Angie responded. 'We must anticipate SEVERE organ damage, and I do mean that'

'With this amount of virus in his blood, most likely every major organ's affected. There's no way to determine how much, though, but I wouldn't be very optimistic' Gabe noted. 'The guy's a goner for sure'

'No!' CR-S01 yelled. 'I can save him! We need to open him up and try to fix the damage!'

'What? Are you crazy, kid? There's no way a single doctor can fix damage to all major organs before it's too late!'

'That's why he won't be by himself' Derek Stiles stepped in. 'I'm going to operate as well'

'What? Two doctors operating at the same time?'

'Yes. Two high-class doctor like these two are the only chance Mr. Wesker has for survival' Tomoe noted.

'He's ready!' a female nurse entered the room.

'Let's not waste any more time! Go!'

CR-S01, Derek and Angie gathered around the anesthetized Wesker, while everyone else was observing.

'Are you ready?' CR-S01 asked.

'Yes! This is the final battle against the T-Virus! I will save this patient!'

'Let's begin the operation' the young surgeon remarked and did the first cut.

'Oh God… What… What is this?' Angie gasped.

All of his organs were covered by a membrane and had additional red blood vessels around them.

'His organs are changing' CR-S01 gasped. 'The additional blood vessels most likely transport the virus around his entire body. He's… mutating'

'We can't let it happen! Any ideas?' Derek asked.

'We should begin by removing the vessels, and then the membrane'

'Wait! What if we trace the blood vessels! They must all lead somewhere, right? With so much concentrated virus, it's bound to create a body inside the host!' Angie said.

'Great idea! Now, let's see…' Derek started following them. 'Oh God… The heart… They all lead to the heart!'

'The heart is the most damaged organ. It won't be easy to penetrate inside and remove the virus! Not to mention, it can stop at any second!'

'Then let's not waste time and fix the other organs!' Derek said and looked at the stomach. 'Beginning incision'

The surgeon cut one of the red vessels. It started spewing blood and an unknown blue liquid'

'That's the T-Virus! It's leaking out!' CR-S01 quickly drained all of it.

'I… can't believe it. His organism still hasn't assimilated the entire injection. Who knows what would've happened if it did'

'His body wouldn't have survived it'

Derek quickly excised and removed the rest of the blood vessel, cutting it off right as it entered the heart.

'From what I can see… There are several blood vessels leading to every major organ'

'We must remove all of them. Let's move on to the…'

'DOCTOR STILES!' Angie gasped as the vein Dr. Stiles had just removed restored itself completely in a matter of seconds.

'What… WHAT THE? I've never seen anything like this! Even GUILT wasn't that fast!'

'There's gotta be a way! Let's cut it again!'

Dr. Stiles grabbed the scalpel and repeated the procedure.

'Right here!' CR-S01 said and cauterized the end of the vessel that was still connected to the heart.

'Do you think it'll stop it?'

'I doubt it. It'll just regenerate, but that will slow it down! There's one more vein connecting to the stomach. Let's cut it off the same way!'

Dr. Stiles did just that, thus cutting the stomach from the virus' control for a while.

'Now what?'

'Let's concentrate on removing the membrane!'

'This… I've seen it before… It's like GUILT!'

The doctors looked at the tiny spikes in the membranes.

'Look at the membrane! It's solid! Which means we have to burn it off with the laser'

'That's weird… It's like a super version of Triti!'

'Let's not waste any more time! Please remove the spikes!' CR-S01 asked as he stood by with the laser.

Dr. Stiles grabbed the forceps and started pulling the spikes out.

'Gah! It's… not easy. It's like they've penetrated inside the organ!'

'They're not, it's just the membrane!'

'Hmm…' the surgeon started pulling. 'That's odd… They're not regenerating'

'This condition is only similar to Triti, but not exactly the same. I don't expect the thorns to regenerate so soon'

After Dr. Stiles removed about half of the spikes, CR-S01 burned the membrane with the laser. It shattered into dozens of tiny pieces, two of which cut incisions into the flesh around.

'Angie! I need your help too!'

'Right away!' the girl responded and quickly sutured the incisions.

'It's working! I can see the stomach below!'

'Keep removing the thorns, Dr. Stiles!' the surgeon asked and destroyed yet another part of the membrane.

After about a minute or so, the entire stomach was clear.

'Did… Did we do it?'

'Not yet. It'll just regenerate unless we destroy the core of the virus in the heart'

'Yeah, and we can't do that unless we clear all the organs… gotcha'

'Let's move on to the liver!' CR-S01 said and cleaned up the stomach with antibiotic gel to slow down the inevitable reappearing of the membrane.

'My God… The liver's even worse!'

'The closer to the heart we'll get the worse the condition will be'

'I see… Let's cut off the vessels!'

With this, the two doctors continued their operation. They quickly managed to remove the blood vessels and destroy the shell… but what was underneath terrified them.

'What! What the hell is this?'

'Necrosis, no doubt about it'

'But… That's completely impossible!' Angie remarked.

'How do we treat it?'

'We… Need to excise the tissue before it affects the healthy one'

'Gah… This will require a lot of skill'

'Skill we luckily possess. Come on'

Very slowly and carefully, the doctors removed the affected tissue, cleaning up with antibiotic gel afterwards.

'All this missing tissue may cause issues later…' Dr. Stiles remarked

'That's not a problem. The liver can regenerate. I'm more worried about the heart. It'll most likely be in a far worse state than the liver. The T-Virus body is the only thing keeping it alive at the moment'

'I see… It's gonna be tough, but we have to do it! What's next?'

'The intestines. They're not as heavily damaged, and the membrane is much thinner. We should be able to finish up easily'

'Alright. Let's do it'

After only a few minutes of tough work, the intestines were also cleared of the disease.

'Argh… Next…' Derek said.

'Dr. Stiles!' Angie gasped. 'Your hand! It's trembling!'

'I'm alright! I just need… I need a little rest…'

CR-S01 looked around.

He could understand how his partner felt, as the prisoner himself felt tired from the exhausting battle, but there wasn't anyone suitable to replace them.

Then, he got an idea.

He grabbed the green vial and quickly filled a syringe.

'Hey! What are you doing? The patient's vitals are st—'

The sharp pain in the shoulder interrupted Derek's speech.

'The green revitalizer contains adrenaline. It'll help you focus'

'Gah… Thanks… I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me. Let's proceed. What's next?'

'The lungs'

'Alright. Let's see…' Dr. Stiles made the incision. 'What the…'

'What is it… Oh'

'What's going on here? This is not normal!'

'No, it is normal. That's the problem' CR-S01 stated.

'Could it mean that… It's already too late?'

'Yeah… The virus has already taken complete control over the organ. It no longer needs the protective membrane'

'Damn it! What now?'

'We need a transplant. That's the only way'

'A transplant? How can we transplant lungs? I've never heard of such a surgery!' Angie said angrily.

'I can do it! It's the only—'

'Kid! Derek! Catch!'

CR-S01 turned around and grabbed the box, then opened it.

It was full of syringes.

'What's this?'

'Derek's colleagues from Caduceus just dropped it with a helicopter' Gabe smiled. 'You better make good use of it! I almost got my ass killed out there to get it!'

'But that's… That's the cure!' Angie laughed. 'The cure, Derek!'

'That makes our whole situation much easier' Dr. Stiles smiled.

'Indeed. Hand me the ultrasound, please'

Angie complied.

CR-S01 used it to find the veins from the inside and injected them with the cure.

Almost immediately, they disappeared.

'They're… They're gone!'

'Dr. Stiles, do the same to the other lung! I'll fix up the holes from the needles!'

'Right away!'

Derek complied, and soon the lungs were free of the disease.

'Alright… So we've only got the heart left, right?'

'Yes… But it's not going to be easy. We need to stop it'

'WHAT? Stop the heart?'

'We can't open it up if it's not stopped. Don't worry, I've done it before'

Derek and Angie thought about it, then nodded.

'I trust your skills, Doctor'

'And I trust yours' CR-S01 said, and even though Derek couldn't see well through his partner's surgical mask, he could've sworn he just smiled. 'Hand me the neutralizer!'

Angie filled a syringe with the black vial and gave it to the doctor.

'Alright… Here goes… If we fail here, it's all over. Ready?'

'I'm ready'

With this, CR-S01 carefully inserted the needle into Wesker's heart, then slowly injected its contents.

The heart moved a few more times, then completely stopped.

'Quickly! Scalpel!'

Angie complied.

CR-S01 did a quick and clean incision, then opened up the heart.

'Oh God… Is that it?'

The black ball in the middle of Wesker's heart was pulsating with anger, obviously agitated by its veins being cut off.

'We… We have no pulse' Angie said as she looked at the flatlining monitors.

'What do we do now? It's covered with a protective shell!' Derek yelled.

'Patient… Patient is dead, Doctor!'

'No! We can still do it! We only have a couple of seconds! We need to make a miracle!' CR-S01 said.

'I'll give you a miracle!' Dr. Stiles concentrated.

Suddenly, time slowed down.

As quickly as he could, he started to remove the thorns and burn the membrane with the laser.

But even his Healing Touch wasn't helping.

"Come on… Come on… Just a little longer…" he thought as he kept cutting the heavy membrane around the black ball.

But it was too late.

Until that point, Derek had only used Healing Touch for about 15 seconds.

And they were already up.

"No… NO! Concentrate, Derek!" the doctor thought, trembling from the pressure.

His head started to hurt, the tools were slipping away from his fingers, his body was on the edge of a breakdown.

"Come on… I can do it… I can save this patient…"

He kept going. Despite the pain, the young doctor kept pushing and cutting, until there was no membrane left, thus directly exposing the black sphere to the outside world.

Dr. Stiles spent more than a minute in Healing Touch after finally completing the surgery.

'Inject it… Inject… it…' was the last thing he said before he collapsed.

'DR. STILES!' Angie screamed.

As fast as he could, CR-S01 took a syringe with the cure and slammed it into the black sphere, then injected its contents. But it wasn't enough.

'I'm not done yet, you monster!' he said and injected yet another one.

The black ball was shaking so rapidly the skilled doctor couldn't even see it to give it the third injection.

'There!' he finally said and slammed it right in the middle of the heart, nailing the sphere.

The T-Virus body suddenly stopped moving and slowly disintegrated, disappearing into nothingness.

'Let this disease pass from this world' CR-S01 proclaimed and quickly stitched up the heart.

Then, he started to massage it.

'Angie! The defibrillator!'

The girl got up and immediately brought the device. They pressed it against Wesker's heart and triggered it.

'That's not enough! Higher voltage!'

Deep down inside, Angie knew the truth.

Albert Wesker was dead. In fact, he'd been dead for a little less than a minute already.

But something forced her to increase the voltage and let her partner try again.

He did. Fruitlessly.

'Come on! We defeated the T-Virus! Don't pass away now! We did it! We saved you, damn it!'

Finally, the young doctor tried for a third time, slamming the pads into the heart.

The electricity struck both the patient and the doctor.

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

'Was… Was that a pulse?' Angie looked. 'Doctor! That's a pulse! He's alive! He's alive!'

'They did it!' Hank yelled to everyone. 'Hey, they did it!'

'We did it…' CR-S01 smiled to himself. 'We did it'
