KABOOM!

I get up and dressed a few seconds later throwing a glare over my shoulder every once in awhile. I feel used and wrong; this wasn't right. Why does my body have to be like this, why can't I be normal?

"Why me?"

'Because you can get through this.'

'How exactly am I supposed to do that?'

'You're strong willed and stubborn you've overcome far worse things. So he scammed us, he may be able to deny it to everyone around but he won't be able to deny it to himself; he wanted that just as much.'

'That still doesn't help, but in all honesty if he thinks I'm going to just stand by and not do anything he's wrong.'

'He saved us.'

'For his own selfish reasons.'

'If he really wanted you dead he wouldn't have found a cure. Another thing is that if he wanted your complete obedience I don't think he would have given you the virus. I'm sure he would have done something to ensure his will.'

'He has me locked inside a room on his boat, and why are you defending him?'

'Because we like him and I have to remind you of that, I can't let you get rid of him.'

My body tenses at what I.S. has said; when I'm able to make sense of everything, I realize that it's been him along. He's the one that's been making me act out; he's controlling everything I do around him even how I react to him emotionally.

'So you are just going to roll over and let him get away with this. I can't believe it'

'Listen Chris, you're lucky in a sense. People who are injected with the G-virus get mutations but you don't instead you got me.'

'Is that supposed to make me feel better? Because that's a real crap ass attempt.'

He sighs before he says anything. 'Chris it's like arguing with a five year old when it comes to you. Look I know this is kind of sudden and it might take some time to get used to but you will. In the mean time I'll help, I know what is needed in the long run. And Albert Wesker is someone we need. So yes right now I'm going to roll over and let him get away. You're too angry and probably hurt which means you're likely to do something rash.'

'Well that's great, freaking superb. I'm glad though that you're here for me. No really, I have no freaking clue what I'd do with out you.'

I close my eyes and sit facing the opposite wall from the door.

'Chris-'

"Don't say anything, I'm done." I ground out between my teeth. He doesn't say anything more; in fact he seems to have closed the connection for the time being. Good. I pull my legs up and rest my head on them. "My life sucks."

I know he thinks I'm bad, and he's probably really pissed about everything, but in the end he'll thank me or at least he'll understand that I did this for him. When I first came into contact with him I was ready to take over, screw this Chris Redfield dude and be done with him. But something inside of him was different then most. He wasn't trying to get higher up in the world, he wanted to save it. I don't know what really changed my mind but a little bit of everything I suppose.

He needs me though, and he knows that. I won't make him beg me to help him out though; the guy has had it pretty rough. But he is strong willed and stubborn and you can bet if there's a way he'll do what ever it takes to stop the world from being corrupt. The problem is that it already is.

Those three days when he was first injected with the virus, he fought so hard to stay alive and against it. His body fought the virus, wouldn't let it bind completely with his body thus allowing him to retain his human traits. I guess that's sort of why I can't let him leave fully; he's a fun guy to be around when he's not in life or death situations.

I can't let him kill Wesker, but I won't stop him from destroying Uroboros. And I think Wesker knows that Chris will never really stop fighting against him. If he wanted complete control over Chris he wouldn't have given him the serum just like that. And I know that he wouldn't want Chris' full corporation, it wouldn't be fun at all if he just went along with everything. That's the game between those two, the attraction of it all.

Sheva has been taken out of the room only to be dragged to another place. The men open the door and quickly shove her inside locking it back up before they leave.

"You can't do this. People will come looking for us."

She shouts after them, they either don't hear or don't care because they don't respond back. She sighs and leans away from the door. "How much longer are we going to stay here?" She's on the brink of a break down and barely holding on. But a familiar voice keeps her from falling over the edge when she hears her name called.

"Sheva?"

"Chris!"

She rushes over to him and is about to hug him but the rope prevents her from doing so.

"Here I'll get that," after a few sharp tugs and uncoiling the rope falls from her hands and she quickly envelopes Chris in a hug.

"I'm so glad you're alright. They wouldn't tell me anything. What happened?"

He just smiles slightly glad that she's alright too- they're both alright for now.

"I'm not really sure, I don't remember much after I blacked out. Did we get on a boat and just happened to get caught on the water or what?"

"No, we didn't get to a boat. The Majini swarmed us after you fell, I tried to fight them off but there was too many. They grabbed me and pulled me away from you, they picked you up. I swear Chris I fought to get loose but they were just too strong. After that they carried you to a boat and then I was brought on board."

Chris hugs her again while she talks. "I know you did" He says when she brings up struggling to get free from them.

"After that we were in the boat for awhile before we were brought to this ship. Once we got on they brought us to Wesker." She nearly spits his name. "And then we were brought to separate rooms." As an after thought she adds, "Chris I found out what happened to you. Before I mean, about why you're in pain."

"Was." At the stunned look on her face he continues.

"He figured out how to stop it from hurting."

"How, an anti-virus has to be taken almost immediately after injection for it to work. There's no way you were infected before you got to Africa, so how'd he do it?"

"I-I do- I'm not really sure actually, hell I don't even know if it's permanent. It was from Wesker after all." He tries to change the subject then.

"So what's happened to you though? I mean after we were separated, they didn't do anything to you did they?"

"Oh, no I'm perfectly fine, well except for the marks on my wrists from where the rope had dug into my skin. Why didn't you tell any one about it?" She brings the subject back up.

"I- I don't really know, look now really isn't the time to get into this. We have to find a way out."

She nods her head, she can sense Chris's unease about the current topic and allows him to change the subject once more.

Excella-while in her room- grabs her cell phone and turns it back on. She quickly checks to make sure there isn't anybody around. She then dials a well known number and doesn't have to wait long before the call is answered.

"This better be important," the voice on the other end demands.

"This is important; listen I think we under estimated some things."

"What do you mean?"

"Chris isn't fighting him, in fact I think some thing else has happened between them."

"Care to enlighten me?" He's starting to get annoyed with her evasiveness.

"When I was looking for Wesker earlier I had stopped y his office only he wasn't there. But before I left a file was open on his desk. And guess what was inside? You're notes, all about Redfield and your experiment. But that's not even all of it, he created a cure! He fixed it so that he isn't going to die, I don't know if he gave it to him yet."

There's a lengthy pause from the other line.

"Zhane?"

"Yeah, sorry. What are we going to do?"

"What do you mean we? He knows who you are."

"This was your idea, and don't think for a second I won't rat you out either. I have evidence that we've been in contact. So I ask again. What are we going to do about this?"

"I don't know. Why isn't Chris attacking him? I thought you said the virus would send him over the edge with rage. That he'd kill Wesker when he saw him."

"Right but I also told you that he didn't show any signs of super strength or speed. Isn't there something you can give Wesker that'll… I don't know kill him?"

"When would I get the chance to screw with anything he takes? And it's not like I could just sneak up on him and be done with it."

"Fine what ever. Find out why Redfield hasn't done any damage to him if you can. I'll try to figure something out here." With that he ends the call and all she hears is a disconnected signal. She shuts her phone and sighs.

"I need a shower."

She walks over to the adjoining room and closes her door. She doesn't even hear the soft click of her room door closing as a man dressed in black shuts it and leaves.

Albert Wesker has never been double crossed; no it's usually him who screws people over. He had his suspicions though. No one with that many connections would be loyal to just one person. She would pay though, and so will that doctor. The only problem is that he isn't sure if he's doing this because he was double crossed or because they had used Chris.

"Well, well Excella it seems you have finally used up your usefulness." He heads straight to the labs and procures a sample of the Uroboros virus. He'll give it to her and he knows she won't be compatible with it. He had promised her when they were done in Africa he'd let her be his second in command, he had lied to her of course. He just needed a way into Tricell, and she had just been so willing to help.

On his way up he stops for a second in front of Chris' cell. He unlocks the door but doesn't enter. Some one has to keep her occupied while he makes his escape. Once he get's on the deck it isn't long before Excella arrives, "I've been thinking" he says as he walks closer to her.

"About?"

"Us, you did say you wanted to help me rule the new world right?"

Her face light's up "Yes of course."

"Here" He hands her the shot and she quickly injects herself.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

I know I heard the door code. Why isn't he coming in? I get up and walk to the door, Sheva looks up at me and a confused look has appeared. I try the handle and to my surprise it opens. I quickly shoot a glance behind me and her face is even more confused. She quickly get's up and walks towards me.

"How'd you do that?"

"It was unlocked."

We stare at each other, then the door and back to us again before I open it further and peer out.

"No one's in the hallway."

"Well I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, let's just get out of here."

She slides past me and walks a few feet before she turns around and calls me to follow. I step out of the room. I can feel it, something isn't right this has to be a trap. I catch up to her and voice my gut feeling.

"There's something off about this, he wouldn't just leave that door unlocked. Beside we have no weapons."

As she starts to reply a scream interrupts her. We both stare at each other before dashing up the steps. Once we get outside we see Excella on the ground doubled in pain.

"Pity it seems you've been rejected. "We catch the end of Wesker's remark.

"You promised" She screams again before she whips herself to her knees. Black ooze starts to pour from her nose and eyes, tentacles start sprouting from her mouth. It completely encases her body.

"RUN."

I shout pulling Sheva's arm and I race for the stairs jumping out of the way as a huge tentacle comes slamming down behind us. I get to my feet and we keep running, dodging a few more attacks before jumping over a crate. A huge tentacle comes sweeping at us, we duck in time. Running up more stairs I quickly dive into a room Sheva right behind me.

"How do we get out of this?"

"I… have… no idea" I answer between gasps of breath. Excella's mutated form isn't hindered by our choice to hide inside. The tentacles come crashing through the roof and tearing into the walls, everywhere. We manage to dodge most of them but as I leap back from one, another behind me knocks me off my feet.

"Chris!"

"Go I'm fine" I get back on my feet and keep running, where to I have no clue.

'Let me help.'

I almost run into another tentacle but quickly duck.

'Why, you're going to let him get away.'

'I can help you survive this, remember he's injected a better version of the virus. I know what to do.'

'I don't have time for this, I need a gun.'

We get out another deck and faced with a huge monster. I quickly spot a machine gun and a shotgun.

"Over here, there are weapons." She quickly runs over and we load our weapons. I point up the ladders and she nods. Once we get up there we have to dodge more attacks.

"Shoot those orange things, it seems to weaken it" I shout over the roar of the crashing waves.

Taking aim we fire at the bulbs and duck, every once it awhile it spits out tentacles that are easily dealt with. After ten more minutes of shooting and ducking the monster finally dies. Sheva and I nearly collapse from exhaustion but I push forward.

"Wesker… we have … to stop him" I manage between ragged breaths, she nods and we head back down the ladder. We rush back to where we started from but it's too late, he's left.

"He's gone, come on we have to get out of here."

As we turn to leave something catches my eye, a clock counting down really fast.

"Shit we have to leave now."

I pull her out of the room and rush down the stairs. As soon as we make it to the deck I rush over to the railing. We jump over right before the ship blows up.
