Disclaimer: I do NOT own Ed, Edd and Eddy or Resident Evil, I do however own the OCs, the story and the Idea of the story!
The cul-de-sac kids looked at their two comrades whom they thought were dead in shock. They ran over and began to ask questions like rapid fire.
"Are you guys okay?" Nazz asked, inspecting for any injuries on them.
"We thought you two were dead!" Jonny said with his goofy grin.
"Good to see you both are in one piece," Kevin added with a small smile.
"Are you going to introduce us to these guys?" Sarah asked, nodding at the four behind them.
Eddy and Edd requested the kids to remain quiet while they explained everything. Eddy told them about his misadventure after he fell out of the helicopter and getting his finger blown off. Edd told them about the journal that Eddy found and showed them the entry that was in it. The kids were enraged that the one who caused the disaster was a supposed cop.
"Now for the four new members that will be joining us for the remainder of our journey," Edd began, pointing to the four behind him, "This is Garrett, Parker, Colin and Carly,"
The four of them nodded at the cul-de-sac kids as a greeting. Now that everything was up to date with both groups, they needed a plan. Their first priority was to find the remaining S.T.A.R.S members. But since the building is a massive labyrinth of corridors and many high security areas, they would have to split up into groups in order to cover the entire factory. Finally after some long deliberation, Edd had finally come up with solid groups.
"Okay guys, listen up for a second," Edd requested. The others gathered around him to listen to the plan.
"Since this place is so big, we're going to split up into groups for the coverage. We'll each take a communicator so we can report anything important or if we need assistance. I want each group to be careful, I'm pretty sure there are a lot more dangerous things in here that we've encountered so far, okay?"
"We understand Double D," Jonny replied.
"Okay, now for groups. Group one is me and Kevin, group two is Eddy and Parker, group three is Nazz, Sarah and Ed, group four is Garrett and Rolf, group five is Colin, Carly and Jonny."
Everyone stood up and got into their groups before standing at the five corridors. They all took last minute glances at each other wishing one another luck.
"Good luck, we'll see you guys on the other side," Edd said before walking down the hall with Kevin. The others looked at Edd's and Kevin's retreating forms until they were out of sight. With that being done, the other groups started down their designated halls.
Edd and Kevin walked in silence watching for any movement. Edd's mind kept drifting to his uncle and his parents, hoping they were okay. He shook his head, telling himself not to think like that. Kevin was praying that he would get out of this mess alive and spend his life in peace.
"Hey Double D," Kevin said turning to him.
"Yeah?" Edd asked looking at Kevin.
"Do you remember when we were once, you know, friends?"
Edd was a little thrown off by the question and almost tripped in surprise. He had completely forgotten that he and Kevin were best friends at one point in their childhood. They always used to do everything together, play, fish, talk and discuss life and its many wonders.
"Yeah…I do," Edd replied with a small smile.
"Those were some pretty fun times, eh?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah, they were, weren't they?"
Edd and Kevin had been friends for years until the day they met Nazz. Edd remembered walking over to her house with Kevin to welcome her to the neighborhood. When they met Nazz, Kevin immediately felt drawn to her as did Edd. Then one day during school, Edd and Nazz were partners for a class project. Kevin felt betrayed and angry when he saw Edd with Nazz. Then later that day, Kevin came up to him after school and told him they were no longer friends.
"Do you remember what ended our friendship all those years ago, Kevin?" Edd asked.
"Yeah, I do. I ended it because I was jealous that Nazz seemed to like you more than me and I hated you for that. I just didn't understand what she saw in you." Kevin replied.
"I think that's a bit selfish, don't you think so?"
"If you were to ask me that question that day or days ago, I'd of said no. But now that I think about it, I believe it was one of the most stupid and terrible things I have ever done. I destroyed our friendship and lost one of the best friends I ever had in my life,"
Edd was about to respond, but there came some lip smacks from ahead. Edd and Kevin immediately held their weapons up to fire at the creature that was concealed in the darkness in front of them. There was a cry as the creature lunged at them from the dark. It tackled Edd to the ground and dove for his face.
No sooner had that happened, Edd felt an unusual strength building up inside of him. He clutched the creature's head and ripped it off completely. Blood shot out like a geyser into the air coating the hall red. Kevin stood rooted to the spot in shock and awe at his former friend.
"Double D, how did you?" Kevin asked bewildered.
"I-I don't know," Edd stuttered in fear.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but I felt some kind of strength in me that wasn't my own. I think there's something inside me, Kevin,"
"Well, maybe there's a laboratory somewhere nearby with information on these things, maybe you might be infected with something?" Kevin suggested.
Edd could only nod in fear of what may have happened. Although he wasn't sure, he had a hunch that something else happened to him before he regained consciousness. Kevin held out his hand and pulled Edd up patting him on the back.
"Don't worry dude, I'm sure it's nothing," Kevin assured with a smile.
"Yeah, you're probably right," Edd replied, "let's get moving."
Kevin and Edd continued down the halls slowly, keeping their eyes peeled for anything. There was an irritating scratch coming down the wall towards them. Kevin held his gun up, waiting for thing to appear. Edd pulled down his night vision goggles and squinted down the hall. He saw five creatures coming down the hall.
"Kevin, start shooting now," Edd whispered.
"Where?" Kevin asked.
"Dead ahead, and don't let up,"
"Alright, I'm ready when you are,"
"Fire,"
The hall was ringing with gunshots as Edd and Kevin unloaded their entire clips into the darkness of the hall. Edd scanned the hall to see one of them was still alive and he saw it coming right for Kevin. Edd pulled out his M1911 .45 and waited for the creature to appear. The creature lunged into the light and it tackled Kevin to the ground. It was a green creature with razor sharp claws. Edd aimed and fired at the creature's head. The creature fell to Kevin's side and blood began to pool around its corpse.
"Nice shot, but you could've given me a warning," Kevin complemented.
"Sorry, didn't want to distract it at the last second and I could see where he was coming from with the night vision goggles," Edd replied.
"Good point,"
Kevin reloaded his M4 before nodding at Edd who nodded back. They continued their trek down the corridor towards the heart of the sector. As they were walking Kevin noticed an office with its lights on. He tapped Edd on the shoulder and pointed at the office. Edd nodded and motioned for Kevin to follow him to the office door. They stacked up outside the door and Edd peered inside. There was no movement inside, but he opened the door with his rifle at the ready.
Kevin and Edd looked around the office to see televisions; many of them were focused on the inside of a laboratory. Upon looking at the televisions, they saw that the cameras were focused on water filled chambers. Inside the chambers were some abominations of the sort, but more sinister and stronger looking.
"What the hell are those things?" Kevin asked in wonder.
"I don't know, but I don't want to find out," Edd replied.
Edd was about to search the office for any information, but one of the chambers that was being monitored caught his eye. He noticed the chamber was empty with no signs of forced escape. Edd looked at the panel by the chamber and noticed the identification read J-13533. He remembered seeing the number somewhere but couldn't recall what it was. His eyes widened and he pulled out the journal Eddy had taken from the prison.
"Oh shit," Edd cursed glancing between the chamber and the journal.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked looking at him.
"Kevin, we got to alert the others immediately!"
"Why, what's wrong?"
Edd pointed out the page in the journal where the number was, then to the monitor. Kevin read the page and looked at the security monitor before his eyes widened. Kevin quickly pushed the talk button on his communicator to contact the others.
"Guys, it's Kevin, do you copy?" Kevin asked quickly.
"What's wrong Kevin?" Eddy replied back.
"Be advised guys, there is a very strong creature lurking in the factory somewhere, stay sharp," Edd said loading his M4.
"What does it look like?"
"I don't know, but I'll update you guys if we find out anything new,"
No sooner had Edd said that, the glass of the office exploded as a body flew through it. Kevin jumped in the air in shock and Edd turned towards the hall where the body came from. He swallowed and pulled Kevin down out of sight. The thing that Edd saw was something that would look like something from one of Ed's sci-fi movies. It was a tall man with long hair that was currently shifting its arm back from a tentacle to a human arm.
"Kevin, on the count of three run down the hall and do not stop," Edd whispered.
"Why?" Kevin asked
"I think I just saw the thing and I think it's searching for us,"
"Okay, I'm ready when you are dude,"
Edd inched his head to peer out the window to locate the creature. It currently had its back turned away from them. Edd counted down with his fingers and quietly crept down the hall, Kevin following close behind. They came to a door and entered the stairway before descending to the floor below.
Meanwhile, two floors down from Edd and Kevin the group of remaining S.T.A.R.S members were moving down the hall. Leon, Chris, Rebecca and Jill were currently looking around a laboratory filled with creatures in sealed chambers. Rebecca sat down and began looking at an opened file on a nearby computer.
"Come look at this," Rebecca called.
"What'd you find?" Chris asked looking over her shoulder.
"It's a whole bunch of files, dates and viral formulas,"
Leon looked down at the screen and noticed a picture with a test tube filled with purple liquid. His eyes widened in realization as he remembered what it was. The vial was filled with the viral particles that the Los Illuminados were infected with.
"Rebecca, what does it say for the section under the picture of the purple liquid?" Leon asked.
"It says that it is combined between viral formulas T1N3 and G1N1, otherwise known as the Diablo's Gift," Rebecca replied.
"What does it do?" Jill asked.
"The virus is injected through the neck and into the host's bloodstream where it travels to the stomach to hatch from its egg like state and attack the nerves system to weaken the host's immunity. It then slowly infects the host and begins to take various forms that can take over the body. The side effects give the host an incredible boost of strength and power; they can call on the virus to use its power for what they want. The downside is that once they call on the power, depending on the form the virus takes after hatching, it can either kill the host, take over it completely until it dies, or it can be controlled by the host's will,"
"What sick bastards would make such a thing?" Jill asked disgusted.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling our answer is at the end of the page," Chris replied.
Rebecca scrolled down and gasped shaking her head. It couldn't be true, it just couldn't. It didn't make sense. Leon and Chris looked at the page and their faces turned from shock to pure rage. Chris's knuckles turned white from clenching his fists so hard, while Leon barred his teeth and growled in rage.
"That dirty son of a bitch!" Chris spat slamming his fist against the wall.
"Goddamn-it…Goddamn-it," Leon muttered leaning forward.
"Wesker, you're a damned monster," Jill hissed.
"Oh, I'm hurt!" a voice said with sarcasm.
The group turned around and immediately pointed their weapons at the man. Wesker stood in front of them with a smirk on his face. The two henchmen by his side stood there silent, looking at the group with hunger. Chris immediately pulled the trigger and a shot rang out. The bullet went into Wesker's chest cavity and blood splattered on the wall behind him. Wesker didn't even flinch, he smirked and wagged his finger in a 'no, no' way.
"Now Chris, is that the way to treat a comrade?" Wesker asked.
"You fucking traitor," Chris hissed.
"I'm not a traitor, I was always the shifty guy of the S.T.A.R.S group, or have you forgotten?"
"Why did you do this?" Rebecca asked getting out of the chair.
"Very simple Rebecca, I did it for power!" Wesker replied grinning wickedly.
"Buy why?" Jill urged through gritted teeth.
"I have grown tired of how the leaders of the world have been running it; it's time for one supreme ruler who can keep order!"
"Even so, it's impossible you did this alone. Granted you had the Los Illuminados with you, but surely someone else had to have financed you!" Leon stated.
"You're right Kennedy; someone else did have to finance my research. It is amazing what mercenaries do if you give them what they want,"
"Who the fuck would work for you? Obviously you told them what you wanted to do, they probably required a certain price," Chris spat.
"Oh yes, but not money wise Chris, oh no," Wesker replied his grin growing more sinister.
"Who exactly did you hire?" Jill asked.
"It's amazing how many members are still around in the Soviet Union," Wesker said with a chuckle.
"You hired the Soviets to finance your research, are you insane?!" Rebecca yelled.
"I promised them something in return, they deserve it for what they helped me achieve,"
"What did you promise them?" Leon asked, fearing the answer.
"Raccoon city is just a diversion, the Soviets are standing by to invade the United States on my command. While the country is focused on Raccoon City, the Soviets will begin their attack,"
"You are a monster, Wesker!" Rebecca shouted.
"You won't get away with it! We know about the virus you created and what it does!" Jill said filled with rage.
"I outnumber you all ten to one, and if you're going to kill me you better be ready to fight to the death," Wesker replied his grin vanishing.
"We still can contact the President of the United States; I worked for him!" Leon retorted.
"Oh dear I did forget that that didn't I?" Wesker asked rolling his eyes.
"You jammed the communications in the factory didn't you?" Chris asked.
"There you go Chris," Wesker said smirking.
"We got to get out of here!" Jill said.
"You're not leaving this factory alive, besides, your first priority should be to search for the kids that were in Victor's helicopter,"
"Wait, Eddward's alive?" Leon asked with hope.
"Yes he is, but he won't be your son in upcoming hours,"
"What do you mean?" Chris asked getting angry.
"Apparently my henchman found him leading his friends in the woods, they ended up critically injuring him with a shot to the chest but they saved him. Your son is now infected with the Diablo's Gift," Wesker replied turning on his heel and walking away.
"I'll kill you, Wesker!" Leon roared running behind him.
Leon plunged his knife into one of the guards, killing it with a stab to the head. He pulled out his USP. 45 and shoved the barrel into the other guard's stomach. Bang! Bang! The guard fell to the floor in a heap. Just as Leon was about to plunge his knife into wesker, he turned around pointing his gun at Leon. He swerved out of the way just in time to avoid the fatal shot. However, the shot continued its path and hit Rebecca between her breasts. She fell to the ground holding her wound to stop the bleeding which was continuous.
Leon turned around in anger and punched Wesker across the face and fired three shots into him. One in the stomach, one in the chest, the last in his head. Wesker staggered back and hit the wall holding his head. All of the shots were fatal had Wesker been human, but he was something else now.
"What the hell are you?!" Leon roared firing the rest of his clip into Wesker.
"I infected myself with the virus Leon, I won't die that easily," Wesker replied looking up at him, his eyes glowing yellow and red.
"We'll see about that!" Leon retorted.
"Come and find me then Leon," Wesker said firing a shot from his Desert Eagle.
The bullet hit Leon in the shoulder causing him to fall to his knees in pain. Wesker walked out of the room and disappeared into the darkness of the hall. Leon turned around and hurried over to Rebecca to help her. Chris was keeping pressure on the wound while Jill was digging through Rebecca's medical bag. Leon gripped Rebecca's hands and looked at Chris who was trying to calm her.
"You'll be okay Rebecca, hang in there it's going to be fine," Chris soothed.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" Rebecca gasped and began to sob.
"Hang in there Rebecca, pull yourself together kid, you can make it!" Leon said feeling
"Where's the Aid Spray?" Chris barked.
"I can't find it," Jill said pulling out some tweezers and morphene.
"It hurts, it hurts!" Rebecca wailed, tears falling freely.
Jill jabbed the morphene into Rebecca's shoulder to kill the pain. Rebecca stopped flailing around a couple seconds later, the pain left her body quickly. Jill took the tweezers and looked down at Rebecca.
"Rebecca, I can help you but I need to cause you more pain to do it," Jill said sadly.
"Morphene?" Rebecca requested.
"I can't, the amount I put in you will last for a while but if I put anymore in you it'll lower your heart rate,"
"Chris, hold the wound open. Leon, you take her hands and keep her calm,"
"One, two, three!" Jill said putting her fingers into Rebecca's chest.
Her scream was agonizing as she felt Jill's fingers inside her chest. Jill found the bulled and gripped it between her fingers while she used the other hand to use the tweezer. Jill clamped the bullet and pulled. The bullet came free, but to their horror a geyser of blood shot out as well. Chris quickly used some of the bandages to suppress the wound as Rebecca began to squirm.
"What the fuck was that?!" Rebecca yelled with wide eyes.
"The bullet severed your artery; it must have been holding it together since it was lodged in there," Leon said feeling his hands breaking from the stress Rebecca was squeezing them with.
"I got to clamp the wound, give me room!" Jill said urgently.
Chris moved his hand from the wound to have more blood shoot out. He felt sadness build up in his stomach. Even if Jill clamped the wound, Rebecca would have lost too much blood. Chris looked down at the new rookie and tried to keep her calm.
"It'll be okay Rebecca, you'll be okay!" Jill assured as she clamped the wound, not noticing Rebecca stopped moving.
"I got it, I clamped the wound!" Jill said with a grin.
Jill turned to see Rebecca was looking up the ceiling, stiff as a board. She waved a hand over her eyes. They didn't flinch as she did so and she quickly began to do CPR. Chris and Leon fell back and watched as Jill tried to revive Rebecca. Each time she pushed down on Rebecca's chest to get a rhythm going, blood would squirt out.
"Jill," Leon said to get her attention.
"I can do it, just give me a second!" Jill snapped.
"Jill!" Leon said a little louder.
"She's not dead don't fucking say it!"
"Jill!" Chris shouted pulling her off Rebecca and holding her.
Jill sobbed into Chris's shoulder in sorrow. Leon placed a hand on Jill's shoulder for comfort while looking at his fallen comrade. He couldn't help but feel guilt rise within him. That shot should have hit him; he should have taken the hit, not Rebecca. He had a bulletproof vest for god sake, what should he have been afraid of? It stopped the shot in his shoulder, what difference would it have made if it hit his chest? The three of them held each other and mourned their fallen friend, saying a prayer for her.
Back upstairs, things weren't going great either. Jonny, Colin and Carly met up with Ed, Naz and Sarah to give back up support. They had encountered another Gigante that appeared from breaking through a wall. The Gigante turned around in anger as it felt shots hit it in the back. It turned around to catch a glimpse of Sarah as she turned to hide behind some cover. It bent down and charged at her hiding spot with full force. There was an echoing crash as the Gigante destroyed Sarah's hiding spot. Ed watched in horror as he saw the Gigante crush his sister in its hand.
"No!" Ed screamed running towards the Gigante.
He jumped onto the Gigante's back and plunged his dagger into its skull. Ed pulled out his Wolfram P2K and fired five shots into its skull before dropping his gun. Jonny saw the Gigante try to shake Ed off and crouched down to fire shots at the Gigante to distract it.
"Jonny, no!" Colin shouted.
Jonny shot the Gigante and managed to turn its attention to him. The Gigante charged at Jonny who had nowhere to run and stood petrified. Ed slammed his knife into the Gigante's head two more times but lost his grip and fell to the floor. Jonny screamed in pain as the Gigante began to crush him in its hands. There was a sickening crunch as Jonny's body was broken from the brutal attack. Colin clicked his M4 to switch it to the M203 and fired. The grenade hit the Gigante in the face, causing its head to explode sending it to the ground.
"Sarah!" Ed yelled running over to his sister's corpse.
He picked up her fragile body as she winced in pain. Ed felt tears build in his eyes as he saw his sister look up at him with a crooked smile. She opened her mouth to speak but felt excruciating pain fill her body.
"Sarah you'll be okay, just hang in there!" Ed choked.
"I'm not going to make it Ed, my body's broken," Sarah rasped.
"Don't say that baby sister, you'll be okay, you'll-,"
"Ed, I'm s-sorry I was so mean to you all my life, c-can you forgive me?" Sarah asked coughing.
"I forgave you all those times Sarah, I don't think anything less of you,"
"Thanks big brother, tell mom and dad I said goodbye,"
"I will Sarah, I will,"
"Thanks big brother, I l-love-,"
Sarah's voice faded away and she went limp in Ed's arm. Ed sobbed and buried his face in his sister's hair. Nazz walked over to Ed and placed a hand on his shoulder in comfort and shed some tears for Sarah. Carly frowned as she saw Colin shake his head from his kneeling position while checking Jonny's vitals.
"No, he's a goner, he's a goner," Colin said standing up.
The group rested Sarah's and Jonny's bodies side by side and covered them with nearby tarp. Ed distributed the ammo to the others to share before reloading his M16. They moved out of the room and down the corridor. Ed stopped and took one last look at his sister's covered body before walking away.
And that's the chapter! I hope you enjoyed it despite the negativity in it. (Thinks) Hope I don't get sued for using the Soviet Union in this story...Anyway, I'll try to update the story as soon as I can. Read and Review when done. Till next time guys-CaptainPrice.
