Before I forget, I realized as I was writing the fourth chapter that Chris shouldn't know about Wesker but I was halfway through and I didn't feel like re-writing everything, and another note When in bold speak that would be his other side, inner voice thing I hope you guys got that and it wasn't that confusing.

(A/N: this is the chapter in which Chris arrives in Africa, I really didn't want to go through the whole game, I'd have to go back and play the thing again. So I'm sorry if I skip around some what, I'm really not going to give too much away just some parts with some fighting)

Tentacles
I arrived in Africa a few hours ago, got debriefed with the problem, got my gear and headed out for a village called Kijuju. When I had finally arrived I stepped out of the car and stretched my arms and legs. Pulling out a piece of paper I scanned it over again.
Get to village and wait for your partner.
"Great, how long do I wait?"
Asking no one in particular, but still receiving in answer, I really shouldn't have been surprised.
'Till they arrive'
I roll my eyes and sigh, 'no shit'.
I feel the corners of my mouth lift slightly and catch a glance of myself in the side mirror.
He mouths the words 'you asked'
'Not you.' and this time I smirk, again this is when I get embarrassed because my partner happens to show up at this exact moment.
"Are you Chris?"
A women's voice with a slight accent to it asks me.
I spin on the sight and flash one of those smiles that say I-know-what-I-was-doing-looked-weird-but-please-don't-ask-me-about-it, and reply "Yeah".
I lift my hand out towards her "And you?"
"Sheva" she replies with a smile and a shake. As soon as our hands fall the radio cackles and informs us of where to go and where off.

The place is slightly deserted but every once in awhile I come across a kid and my heart just leaps with sadness and all I want to do is rush over there and comfort them. Which is starting to irritate me, I mean don't get me wrong I feel for them and all but I've got work to do and I can't be bothered with this unknown feeling of wanting to comfort every little kid or injured animal I come across. This drug/virus/serum- what ever has got to have a cure, and I'll find it just as soon as I get rid of Wesker.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
A couple hours later
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
At the current time Sheva and I are holed up in some weird looking base. Something is screwed up here these people are acting like those in the mansion and everything else that Umbrella screwed with. But they're different their mouths open up looking like a starfish thing and they jump really high, even the dogs infected with this stuff are more complex. I'm going to seriously hurt whoever decided to give them those shocking cattle rods or whatever the hell they are.
Walking a little further we come across a dead soldier searching his body there is some notes and other things.
(A/N: I know this is where he finds out about Jill but I'm not going to have Jill in my story. It's not that I don't like her it's just that I've altered the story to much and it would be too hard to write her in and stuff. I hope you don't mind.)
The radio sounds and we listen to the voice on the other side speaking into it.
"Head to the rally point"
The way she says it sounds like it's that easy I give her a slight look and keep walking.
'Oh no, something bad is coming up'
I stop in my tracks Sheva slightly bumps into me.
"Chris?"
"Sorry, I uh thought I heard something."
'Just keep walking'
'Easy for you to say, I'm the one that has to face whatever's around here. That reminds me, why they hell didn't you warn me about those things, shouldn't I have heard them, how come I didn't smell them; I thought you would just turn the sense on when ever I needed it?'
'This is no time for arguments, just do as I say and you'll live.'
'Now you sound like the Terminator'
He laughs-I laugh- quietly which catches her attention anyway.
"What's so funny?"
I glare inwardly at him if that's even possible before replying.
"I was just thinking of a movie line."
"At a time like this?"
"It … helps me stay focused, and it sort of fit well with this whole situation; I'll uh keep quite from now on"
She just nods and I continue walking, we come across a room that has gas tanks attached to the wall all around there is also some type of furnace at the back. Heading back towards the door it immediately shuts close and this freaky black tentacle thing comes up from the ground.
'This is what I was talking about'
'Great how do I kill it?'
'Burn it'
At this he swings my head to the right staring at the furnace; an idea comes to mind as I glance around the room, those canisters against the wall.
I start running around trying to get away from that thing and come up to one of them, reading the label I realize that this could work.
'What are you doing?'
'No time to argue remember?'
'Yeah but you can't get that out in enough time, at least not without me.'
I'm smirking again and then pulling down the tank as if it was nothing.
'This isn't normal, how I didn't do this back there; you didn't show off for '
'Look just shoot it when that thing gets closer'
Sheva had been firing shots at on and off running away every once in awhile to reload.
"Sheva make it chase you over here."
She looks towards me and starts running in my direction the tentacle thing follows her and when it gets close enough I shoot the tank which blows up under the thing, it sinks down into the ground only to come up right behind me.
'Time for plan two'
I take off for the furnace thing waiting every once in awhile for it to catch up to me and so it doesn't go after Sheva.
"Sheva when I get it in there get ready, you're going to have to press the button at the last second so it doesn't escape."
It's almost right on top of me Sheva waits ready for me to go through I run through and stay at the other end until it's halfway in before telling Sheva to push it and making it out just in time to watch that monster burn.
(A/N: I played this with my dad and when we got to this part he was inside that thing when I had pushed the button- he ran into it before I could stop him- so then we had to start over lol)
"What the hell was that?"
She asks panting in between breaths.
"Something new, someone has taken up Umbrellas' old job"
As soon as the door opens again we both head out-not forgetting to grab the key which open's the elevator up, we step in and continue our search of the place.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
A little while later when we were walking around, I decided now would be a good time to get some answers.
'What happened back there, with that tar monster thing?'
'You killed it?'
He quirks my eyebrow.
'With the canister I meant. I would have been able to get it down after a few tugs but I almost ripped it out of the wall.'
'This has something to do with that secret I was telling you about'
'So I am basically a monster then huh? I'm just like him right? How come you never did that in front of the doctor?'
'Just because I didn't let you kill him doesn't mean I liked him any more then you did. And no you're not a monster you didn't do this to yourself.'
Great, I'm getting a pep talk from well myself.
'Fine, so what you just kept that from him so he wouldn't know, why would it matter?'
'Look I did it to protect us, had he known what you're capable of he would have you tailed and if you stepped out of line he could punish you with out leaving permanent or severe damage. You don't want to be treated like a dog do you? Go here. Fetch this. Kill that, good Chris, good dog.'
I stop suddenly and anger flares within me, the grip on my gun tightens and that's all I can do to keep myself from screaming out in rage and punching the nearest thing to me.
Sheva see's this and places a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"Chris, are you alright? Is something up, you've been stopping and staring off quite frequently. If this is normal for you I'm not quite sure how you've survived."
She says the last bit jokingly, I shrug at her.
"It's an off day."
I simply reply. After a little bit more walking and shooting some more of those things we come across a gap in the road it's not that far and can be easily jumped. I tense though hoping I don't over do it and end up all the way at the other side.
I don't put much effort into it and am thankfully able to land pretty much next to Sheva, but as soon as we take three steps forward a bus being driven by those insane morphed people comes careening towards us.
Thinking fast I aim my handgun at the wheels and shoot out the tires causing the bus tip violently on its side and stop before it runs us over.
The relief is short lived though because in a matter of seconds Majini (I can't remember how to spell it) come running towards us. Shots are fired along with crossbows and fire darts, the insane garble and screams bounce off the surrounding area. Head shots take them out fast but also unleash this monster tentacle on some of them.
The ones that get to close are quickly dealt with a quick stab and then a crushing blow to the head.
Eventually they stop coming and we run off in search of more ammo and some healing spray.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
Okay this is where I'm going to skip ahead in the game, the part where Excella is and they get trapped with Uroboros again.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX
We've entered an underground place, after island hopping and dodging crocs' from the water below in search of these plates to open the gate.
Of course after we do that the villagers get quite ticked off and start trying to kabob us with their spears. Not to mention the chickens that attacked me for no good reason. I was just taking some eggs that were laying around and it flew at me.
(A/N: this happened to my dad when we got here; I had to pause the game count less times because I couldn't stop laughing. He would just stand there and all of a sudden the chicken started to attack him.)
And then having a face off with a giant creature, eventually making it to Tricells' head quarters.
We burst in through a door and a lady is standing in the middle of the room, Sheva apparently knows who she is though.
(A/N: most of this text is from the game under this)
"Excella Giovanni! Stop right there."
She has her gun aimed at this Excella chick and I follow suit. She doesn't seem that upset or worried that she's been caught, in fact when she turns around clapping her hands she wears a smile.
"Bravo"
That voice I know it form somewhere, but where?
"DR. ZHANE!"
Both of them are startled when I shout out the name but Excella quickly recovers, Sheva is still giving me a funny look.
"Random aren't you?"
Excella asks as she slowly saunters off.
"Stop playing around we want some answers."
At this a voice that seems to echo- is heard- a familiar voice.
"You haven't changed."
I quickly search and find him.
"Wesker."
A man with gelled back hair dark sunglasses and completely dressed in black stands a few feet away with a slight smirk on his face.
Again that feeling of unbridled rage surges up and I almost charge, it's difficult to hold back. I want this so bad, this is my chance.
'That voice, you recognized it, she's double crossing him.'
'Who Wesker? I don't care, he deserves it.'
'Right so what you're just going to kill him then. Guess what Zhane becomes the new threat then.'
'So, I can deal with him as soon as I'm done here.'
I keep my gun aimed at him as he slowly walks down the steps he had been on.
'No. You won't be able to, if this doesn't kill you, time eventually will. You don't have enough of it to survive long enough to kill them both.'
At this I falter a little, Sheva notices and hastily whispers' my name.
I regain my focus and aim back at him again.
"What's the matter Christopher, getting cold feet?"
He has that freaking smirk, the same one I.S-Inner sarcasm- wears when he smirks.
"No, today you die I'm not playing anymore."
At this he laughs slightly I almost lose control but out of the corner of my eye I catch movement, Excella has gone up the steps. That's one I get slammed in to wall by what feels like a truck.
I groan, and turn my gaze towards Sheva who is shocked by what has happened.
"What- how?"
"Sheva! "
But my warning is to late because the next second she has been flung into the wall just like me.
I quickly get up fire shots at him rapidly, of course he just dodged them and in the next second I find myself sprawled out in the middle of the floor.
"Seven minutes Chris, seven minutes is all I can spare."
With that said I roll over barley missing a boot to the skull and fire two quick shots before standing up and trying to put some distance between him and me.
'HELP ME.'
'Not just yet we need him.'
My retort is cut short with my body slamming into a weak part of the wall and falling through.
I quickly get up and head for stairs.
"You can't hide from me"
"I'm just bidding my time"
I say more to myself as I quickly scour for some extra ammo, I can hear shot being fired from Sheva and then silence for a half second I'm scared that he got her. I don't have much time to worry because I soon hear foot steps approaching from behind, I quickly swing around gun cocked and ready to fire but there's nothing, no one there.
Of course then I realize my mistake but before I can turn back around there is suddenly immense pain from the back of my skull as I fly forward and slam to the floor.
"I told you, you couldn't hide."
I spit out blood and then stand up firing to shots and dodging a kick as I leap to the side.
He spins around faster and I'm unable to dodge the kick to the chest as I'm shoved into the wall behind me.
The breath leaves me in a whoosh and there is a faint buzzing in my head but I ignore it spitting out more blood I get back on my feet again while aiming the gun.
"Your not going to give up are you?"
He walks over to me I shoot until I hear the tell tale 'click click' sound.
"Christopher, what are you going to do know?"
I glare and lunge at him, intending to tackle him and beat the crap out of him, but his movements are smoother and quicker then mine and in the end he's the one that's got me on the floor gasping for breath with his hand wrapped around my throat.
He isn't relenting, and my grip around his hand isn't doing any damage, I try to throw him off by wrapping my legs around his waist and turning but that doesn't quite work. It startles him enough that he loosens his grip and I greedily gulp up air, before I throw everything I have into a punch and hope it at least knocks him off.
Luck is on my side for a few seconds at least. I get on my knees and suck more air and try to get the haze out of my eyes.
"I'm impressed with your ability to keep fighting."
Smug bastard doesn't even sound winded.
'Tell him. Tell him about Excella'
"Why?"
"Because it's pathetic."
I hadn't realized I had spoken out loud until he had spoken up.
'Do you want to live?'
'He won't believe me. I just have to get out of here, away from him and I'll stand a better chance'
'No that's not what I meant; the virus is what I'm talking about. Tell him about Excella'
I refuse to, but really that doesn't matter because within seconds I feel his grip and he's taking control of my body.
"Excella is lying about everything, don't trust her."
"What, making up lies to prolong your life, how pathetic. I taught you better then that."
"I'm not … lying"
I struggle to stand up, once I manage to I have to lean against the wall for support, I think he broke some ribs. The pounding headache and blurry vision isn't helping things.
"Chris I thought you said you didn't want to play games."
He has started to walk towards me again and something inside me snaps before he gets any closer I spin and round house kick him into the wall.
While he lands into the wall I fall to my knees in intense pain, that burning sensation has come back.
"Well, well, well it looks like you've been getting into things you shouldn't have."
He readjusts his glasses and pushes himself off the wall he advances towards me once again and yanks me up by the back of my hair.
I hiss in pain and try desperately to land a hit any where.
"How did you do that Christopher? I want answers"
He growls into my ear and all of a sudden that feeling of hate has been completely transformed, the need to pummel him to death has disappeared, and now I've frozen in place. He seems to have felt it as well.
It's like electricity, a tingly feeling and I don't want to resist, don't want to lose that feeling.
CHRIS, get a hold of yourself.
His grip is slowly slipping and with all my strength I have, I throw a right hook right to his head. It knocks his glasses off and his hold on my hair. I get up as a fast as I can with one last glance I catch the sight of his some what shocked face and for the first time see his deranged orange eyes. I turn around once more and get the hell out of there.
I have to Find Sheva and see what's happened to her.
Once I've exited the place I glance back again I don't see any sign of Wesker or Excella, the sound of a whoosh alerts me that they have just left.
"Sheva!"
I see her laying face down on the cold stone floor and rush to her side. There's a pulse thank God.
I quickly scan the place and see some vases not far off, I gentley place her down and rush over, and thankfully there is an herbal spray.
In a matter of seconds she up again a little woozy on her feet but she's steady.
"Wh- what happened, did you get him?"
I shake my head offer her an arm as we make our way up the stairs.
"He just left?"
"His seven minutes were up."

Alright, I'm going to be honest and tell you that I really didn't like how this chapter turned out.
Hopefully though that its better then I think, and you guys like it.
I know that I skipped around a lot it's just I didn't want to have to go through the whole game. Oh and I hope it doesn't seemed rushed and all messed up. The next chapter will hopefully be better. Focusing more on Wesker and what he's going to do about what happened in the is chapter.
