Hive

Red dragon slapped Evelyn in the face, again, before pulling the battered girl back. Knowing he can't get any result, he drew a pistol out of his holster on Evelyn and aimed at her head. Evelyn looked at him, but she was too weak to fight.

"You will tell me the coordinates." He threatened, voice as cold as ever. "Or you will die here and now."

Evelyn sat on the chair. She would resist, if she can. But she's out of options. She can't use the Force. Her ring is taken away from her, along with her light saber and her entire droid army. She has no friend to rescue her. And she can't use her martial art to fight her way out because she's tied up. And even if she can somehow break free, she is way too weak to overcome three(four, if the potentially hostile Alice is also put into calculation) trained, armed killer with dozens of wounds on her body. This is it. This is the end.

"In that case." The Red dragon took a step back before firing the pistol. The pistol was a Gauss pistol. With electromagnetic power and a suppressed sound, the bullet traveled faster than human eye can see. It flew into Evelyn's chest, penetrated her ribs, before going into her heart and flying out from her back. Evelyn laid back on the chair, no longer breathing. Blood oozed out of the two wounds, forming a puddle on the ground.

"Pity." Black dragon said, walking up to make sure the girl is dead. There was an instance in which a dimensional looter somehow got the power of speed recovery(the ability of wolverine), and killed most of the hunters, who thought he's dead. "We could have gotten more information out of her."

"We don't have the time, the Umbrella Corporation Strike Team is approaching. Plus, we don't need it." Red dragon said in a coldblooded way. "Sooner or later more looters will pop out, thinking they are somehow special. And when they do, we will take them down."

Black dragon turned to Alice, holding a strange looking device in his hand, pointing at the woman. Alice's expression changed drastically, but before she could move away, he pulled the trigger, and Alice fell down on the ground. "We will have to take her to the train where she is supposed to be now. The Umbrella Corporation will get her, and this world will be back to its course as if no looter ever came."

"Don't forget to clear her memory and replace them with the memory from our computers. The right memory." Gold dragon reminded as Black dragon was about to start carrying Alice. The other white cloak heard the warning and immediately dropped the girl.

"Yep, I was well aware of that step." Black dragon took out a needle and struck it into Alice's neck."The nano robots should be working with the brain cells now. Anything else, comrade? "Golden dragon smirked and walked away. Black dragon followed him after sending a threatening glare at red dragon.

"Wait!" Red dragon walked up to Evelyn's body and took the collar down from the girl's body. "Can't leave this here. These little things are extremely hard to make. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find the correct material?" He had something different in mind. "And you go. I'll clear the memory of the Red Queen and destroy this looter's body. And if the T-virus is meant to spread, then I might have to let loose a few lickers. We can meet back here."

"Sure thing boss." The golden dragon nodded before turning and leaving along with the black dragon. Red dragon turned to work on the Red Queen, who they managed to silence by threatening to evaporate the computer's main drive. Behind the red dragon, Evelyn suddenly opened her eyes.

When the bullet pierced Evelyn heart, the girl thought of a lot of things.

She realized no matter how strong she is, as long as she is alone, she is weak. If she had a friend as lookout, then she will be warned about the attack, and she will have the chance to fight back and potentially win.

She realized how stupid and naive she was before. She was stupid enough to do everything by herself, showing all of her cards and tricks at once. She was too overconfident, so overconfident that she didn't even bother to leave a droid squad as sentry.

She was too emotional. When the white cloak surprised her, she could've done a lot of things in a wiser way. She could've deployed droids as shields. But instead she was so shocked she used the worst way, and that is to deflect the attack.

She was too rash. When she put those EMPs in place, she should have hid them well rather than just dropping them in open places. When she had Alice in her grip, she should have killed her rather than try to control her.

If she had another chance, she will do things so much wiser. But she doesn't, or does she?

Normally, when a person die, they stay dead. But neither Evelyn nor the white cloaks realized where they are. Resident Evil. And a main theme of Resident Evil is about dead man coming back to life. This is especially the case now that Evelyn's body is in one of the most T-virus dense areas.

When red dragon decided to not burn Evelyn's body the first chance he has, it gave time for the T-virus started to make contact with the dead girl. It started to infiltrate the body. Normally, T-virus will speed up the metabolism of its victim. This is why most zombies had their skins messed up. Their metabolism got so fast that the dead skins started to pile up. Eventually, when the skin cells can't handle the pace of metabolism, it will soften and decay.

If the victim is already dead, then the t-virus will just continue its job. But if the victim is still alive, the virus will gradually destroy major parts of the brain, including parts that control emotion and logic, eventually turning them into brainless monsters. What's worse is that the quick metabolism will need large amount of food ingestion to back up. This need of food will urge the zombies to hunt for food.

When Evelyn was shot, her soul literally became one with the Force, meaning it's stored inside the Force, but the collar trapped the Force, along with Evelyn's soul, inside her body.

When the T-virus invaded, the Force, which contained Evelyn conscious, started to conflict with the virus. When the white cloaks talked, the two supernatural conquerors started to fight for control over the body. The Force was especially strong with Evelyn, who had the ability to increase her strength by practice. And T-virus, well, it is highly invasive.

In the end, when red dragon took off the collar, the battle was finished. The Force protected Evelyn's brain and restored her conscious back into her body. The t-virus, however, was not cleansed. It still lurked inside Evelyn, but the two powers formed a balance. If Evelyn wants, she can speed up the metabolism of her body, which will grant her super recovery, extra strength, and an increased Force power, but it will also cause a sharp increase in the food she need to consume.

When Evelyn regained complete control of her body, two of the white cloaks have left to bring Alice to the train. Only red dragon is beside her. Evelyn opened her eyes and silently used the force to untie the rope. It's time for retribution.

In explanation to the powers Evelyn received:

Super recovery and super strength are all due to faster metabolism. A quick metabolism allows cells to reproduce quicker, which means wounds can be healed quicker.

When people punch or kick, their strength is limited by their own instinct. They don't act with their full strength because doing so will damage the muscle and nerve components. When people somehow exceed their limits, like when they are angry, they can punch and kick harder than usual. When Evelyn goes into quick metabolism, she is no longer limited by her muscles because even if they are damaged, they can recover almost instantly.

The Force is enhanced because the t-virus always had the ability to enhance brain powers, take Alice for example. She could stop a fire just by her mind in Resident Evil 3, and even killed a guard by a simple stare in the end of Resident Evil 2. So it is safe to assume that T-virus enhances the mind.

And the suggestion that conscious can be stored in the Force is not exactly a random idea. In Star Wars, there were multiple situations where dead Jedis became force ghosts, and were capable of talking to the living Jedis, guiding them, so it is reasonable to suggest that Jedis actually "become one with the force". And speaking of that phrase, it's not like the Jedis just so this line so many times in important situations if it's not something that actually happens, right?

Most of the theories might not make sense, but I am writing a story, not a scientific paper. So ignore them if they really bug you.
