Chapter Summary- Ed has ran off into the factory in search of Wesker to get revenge. While this is going on, Ed slowly loses his sanity. He and Jill team up with Rolf and Kevin to search the top floor of the factory which holds a few surprises. Ed finally meets Wesker face to face which starts the long awaited fight. But can Ed take Wesker on with the way he is now?

Ed Hartsock was currently sprinting up the stairs with speed even greater than his time when he played as a wide receiver during football. He heard Jill's voice behind him before he took off but he was in too much rage to focus on anyone or anything for that matter. The man that had killed Eddy and his sister was upstairs, so that's where he was going. He reached the top of the stairs and kicked open the doors. The noise echoed around the empty hall which was completely dark. Ed flipped the switch to his tactical flashlight and continued down the dark corridor.

He kept his senses sharp since he had the feeling he was not alone in the halls. If anything, there were probably more of those cultists or dogs lurking around the corner just waiting to jump him. Ed bumped into a cart and fell to the floor, dropping his M16. He growled in pain as he felt fresh blood trickle down his leg. Picking up his M16 he noticed he had a scalpel stuck in his calve. His hand twitched as he gripped the sharp knife and pulled. He winced as the scalpel slowly made its way out. After one last pull, the scalpel fell to the floor with a clatter. Ed stood up gingerly and held his M16 at the ready.

There was a clash as something fell to his right. Ed immediately turned his rifle towards the direction of the sound and had his finger on the trigger. His eyes widened in horror at the sight before him. A cold sweat formed on his body and he fell short of breath. The beam of his flashlight landed on someone and that someone was Eddy. Ed shook his head disbelievingly and turned around. He rubbed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"No, no, no. I'm going crazy, Eddy's gone." Ed muttered.

He peeked over his shoulder expecting to see Eddy no longer there. But Eddy still remained. A blank look replaced the usual cocky expression on his face. Ed barred his teeth and glared at Eddy. Eddy just looked at him and didn't say anything.

"What the hell are you doing up here, Eddy?" Ed yelled.

Eddy didn't respond.

"What the- What the hell are you…"

Eddy took a step forward towards him.

"No! No!"

Eddy continued to move slowly towards Ed one step at a time. Ed cocked his M16 and pointed it at Eddy. Tears formed in his eyes as his finger rested on the trigger.

"Eddy, if you're real you better tell me right now!" Ed hollered.

Eddy continued to remain silent and moved towards him. Ed, not taking any chances, flicked the switch to semi and began pulling the trigger on his rifle. One by one the bullets hit Eddy and blood spilled to the floor. Ed began to move back but tripped again over the same cart from earlier. He gave a loud cry and pulled out his P99 and began to fire the remaining clip inside of it. He opened his eyes only to see Eddy had vanished. Ed began to shake in shock and jumped when a bright light struck his eyes.

Jill had entered the hallway where she knew Ed entered and turned on her flashlight. She walked slowly down the passage with her M9 ready to fire. She silently prayed he wasn't jumped by any of the creatures that were probably hiding nearby. And that's when she heard Ed's voice coming from down the hall.

"What the hell are you doing up here, Eddy?" Ed yelled.

"What? Didn't Wesker say Eddy was killed?" Jill thought to herself.

"Eddy, if you're real you better tell me right now!"

Jill's anxiety for Ed's safety and mentality skyrocketed when she heard him say that. While she was sure Eddy was dead, she decided not to take any chances. She sprinted down the hall just as she heard Ed's M16 open fire. Jill rounded the corner and heard Ed give an angry cry and she pointed her flashlight down the hall. Her eyes saw flashes from the floor and she looked down to see Ed dry firing at a wall. Jill frowned and began to move towards the shocked teenager. Ed turned and flinched as he looked directly at her flashlight.

"Ed, are you okay?" Jill asked kneeling down by him.

Ed opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. Jill noticed he was still shaking with shock and it felt like a knife to her heart. Jill set her gun on the ground and hugged Ed to her bosom. It was there that she heard him sob as he hugged back. Jill felt tears soak into her shirt and just hugged Ed tighter to her.

"Shh, it's okay, Ed. It's okay, I'm here." Jill whispered.

"I saw Eddy, Jill. I saw him and I shot him again and again!" Ed sobbed.

"Ed, listen to me. You need to calm down and get a grip. You didn't kill Eddy, he was never here."

"He was, Jill! He was right in front of me and he came at me."

"Ed, please, just listen to me. What you saw was all in your head. You were dry firing at a wall. Take a look and see."

Ed sniffed and turned around to face the direction where Eddy was standing. He picked up his flashlight and pointed it down the hall. Jill was right. Eddy's body was nowhere to be seen. There was no blood on the floor. All that he saw was a wall riddled with bullets and empty shells that littered the floor. He lowered his head and as more tears fell from his eyes. Jill hugged him to her again.

"But, it was so real." Ed whispered.

Jill nodded and rubbed his back in comfort. The red headed teen's sobs slowly quieted and his body stopped shaking. Jill looked down and smiled to see that Ed had calmed down. She brushed his matted hair out of his face and gave a comforting smile. Ed's face turned scarlet as Jill smiled at him and he turned away. Their little moment was interrupted when they heard two more pairs of footsteps coming closer. Jill picked up her M9 and aimed it down the hall. Ed quickly reloaded his rifle and noticed he only had two clips of ammo left for it. His P99 on the other hand still had ten clips left. He decided to save his ammo for his M16 and pulled out his P99.

"Rolf, how are you doing on ammo? I only have about three clips for both my guns." Said Kevin.

"Rolf is in the same boat." Rolf replied.

"Shit. Okay, we need to find an armory and fast."

The two of them rounded the corner and saw Ed and Jill standing there pointing their guns at them. They lowered them as Rolf and Kevin hurried over to him. The two of them looked exhausted from the running they did to try and find them.

"Ed, we can't have you taking off like that. You're no good to us dead, okay?" Kevin said.

"Yeah, I got you." Ed replied.

The four of them looked around the hall and found that there were two ways they could go. One hall led right, the other led left. Kevin put a hand to his chin and began to ponder the next move.

"I think we should split up here. Two of us can go left and the other two can go right." Kevin said.

"Okay. I'll take Ed and we'll go left. You and Rolf can go right. We'll keep in touch with the radios if we need backup or other notifications," Jill said looking at the three.

"Sounds good."

"We'll see you guys later. Watch yourselves."

Kevin and Rolf nodded as Jill finished giving the order. The two of them held up their rifles and went do the hall. They turned the corner and vanished from sight. Ed and Jill stood there for a moment and looked at each other.

"We should probably get moving. We're running out of time." Ed said.

Jill nodded and turned on her heel to follow Ed. The two of them continued their trek down the foyer, ready to shoot anything that came at them. Surprisingly, they had not bumped into anything yet, and that alone scared Jill greatly. There was no way they could have killed all of the creatures, the facility itself was too damn big. Jill was broken out of her thoughts when she accidently bumped into Ed. She was about to ask him what was wrong but noticed he was staring at the double doors in front of them.

"Stack up." Ed whispered.

Ed ran up to the door and Jill got directly behind him. He put his hand on the doorknob and held his P99 at the ready. Ed pushed the door open and entered the room, Jill following close behind. The room they had entered was a large conference room with a large window with a magnificent view. It was at this point they both realized they weren't the only ones in the room. Ed noticed a tall man standing at the window. He was wearing a long black trench coat, his blonde hair was slicked back with gel, and he was wearing tinted sunglasses. The man turned around and a smirk spread across his face.

"Wesker!" Jill sneered.

"Ah, Jill, come to take me on with just one other? That's not how I trained you for these situations." Wesker replied.

"Save it, Wesker! Besides, we have two others up here with us for back up and they can come as soon as I call them."

"You mean those two?"

Jill turned to the monitor Wesker was pointing at behind them. Jill's and Ed's faces became horrified as they saw Kevin and Rolf being attacked by a horde of dogs. One dog lunged at Rolf and began to bite him. Kevin shot the dog, only to have to duck after one leapt at him. Rolf was holding his shoulder that was bleeding severely. Kevin fired the remainder of his clip into the last dog and killed it.

"Hmm, interesting. I didn't think they'd pull that one off. I guess I was wrong." Wesker said with some surprise.

"You just managed to give another kid a death sentence! He's going to die now because of what you've done, Wesker!" Jill yelled.

"It's called survival of the fittest, Jill. He was weak, and now that's going to result in a slow and painful death."

Ed's finger was slowly moving towards the trigger of his P99. Wesker turned and looked at Ed. His smirk turned into a vile grin.

"I'm here boy. You ready to kill me?" Wesker taunted.

"That's why I'm here, you son of a bitch!" Ed spat.

Ed had pulled out a flashbang grenade and threw it at Wesker. The grenade exploded and Ed fired two shots. That's when Ed and Jill saw something that shocked them. Wesker literally moved so fast he left an after image. He dodged the two bullets with ease and appeared next to Ed. Ed had no time to block Wesker's right hook and was sent staggering as the punch crashed into his cheek. He was then punched in the gut with such force he hacked up blood. Wesker grabbed him and threw him across the room. Ed rolled across the floor and hit the table.

Jill taking the chance fired two shots. Once again Wesker vanished and appeared a foot away from where he was. Jill fired again and again. And each time Wesker would vanish and grow closer to her. Finally Jill was grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air. As she struggled for breath she noticed Ed leap at Wesker with a punch. Wesker sensed Ed coming and let go of Jill to parry the punch. Ed kicked at him, but that resulted with Wesker grabbing his leg and throwing him across the room again. Wesker turned back to Jill only to do a back flip as Jill fired three more bullets at him. There was a click as Jill's gun had run out of bullets. Wesker took the chance and vanished. He appeared before Jill and thrust his palm into her stomach. Jill's eyes widened in pain and she hacked out blood in surprise.

The push from Wesker was so strong it sent her airborne and into a cabinet. The cabinet collapsed from the sheer impact as Jill hit it. Jill groaned in pain as she struggled to get up. As Wesker moved toward Jill, he was intercepted by Ed who swung at him with his knife. Wesker leaned back to avoid the slash, but it wasn't fast enough. A slash appeared across his cheek as blood began to run down it. Wesker's eyes briefly glowed a reddish orange behind his sunglasses. Ed noticed this and hesitated in fear. This proved fatal as Wesker grabbed Ed by the neck and began to crush his windpipe. He hoisted Ed in the air and slammed him down on the conference table. Ed's impact made a body outline on the table and began to make a trail as Wesker dragged him across the table.

When Wesker reached the end of the table he sent Ed soaring across the room. Ed hit the stone floor and felt a crack in his ribs. He struggled to sit up as Wesker walked over to him. Wesker pressed his knee down on Ed's chest and began to throw punch after punch across Ed's face. Blood began to splatter on the floor as Ed was slowly being pummeled to death. Across the room, Jill had reloaded her gun and aimed at the back of Wesker's head. Jill took the shot and fired. Wesker turned at the last second and the bullet struck him directly in the head where Eddy had shot him earlier. Wesker clutched his head in pain, and didn't notice Ed stand up.

Just as Wesker lowered his hands, Ed had tackled him and stabbed his knife directly into Wesker's stomach. Wesker gave a cry of pain as he stumbled to the window and crashed into it. The window shattered and Wesker kneeled at the base of it. He pulled the knife out and glared at Ed and Jill as they pointed their guns at him. He smirked and pulled out a detonator. Just as Wesker jumped out the window, he pointed at the ceiling. They looked up and saw multiple packs of C4 and a timer for set for five seconds.

"Run!" Ed yelled.

Jill bolted for the door and exited the room. She turned to see where Ed went and saw him just three feet away from the door. There was a loud boom that shook echoed around the whole factory. Jill was blasted back from the door as the C4 detonated. She watched with horror as the explosion consumed Ed whole. Smoke and flames filled the area which set off the sprinklers.

"Ed!" Jill screamed.

Jill stood up and limped into the inferno looking for Ed. She found him lying face down on the floor unmoving. She grabbed him and with great difficulty dragged him out of the room. Just as she pulled Ed out of the room, Kevin and Rolf appeared with two duffel bags of ammunition. The three of them realized Ed wasn't breathing and the entire right side of his face was bloodied and covered in soot. Jill immediately began to attempt CPR to revive Ed. Finally after almost a minute, Ed gave a heave as he sucked in air. He began to cough and sputter from all the smoke that filled his lungs. Jill hugged Ed again and tears fell down his cheeks from hers. Ed raised his hand and gently touched the side of Jill's face.

"Jill, are you okay?" Ed asked.

"Idiot, you were the one that got hurt and you're asking me if I'm okay?" Jill asked.

"I just wanted to know if you were."

Jill smiled, tears still falling down her face. She pressed her lips to his earning a blush from Ed.

"I'm fine, Ed. I'm okay." Jill replied.

Kevin and Rolf, who was growing pale by the minute, were grinning down at their friend.

"You feeling alright dude? That explosion should've killed you," Kevin stated, squatting down by him.

"I'm fine, but we should get back to the others." Ed replied.

"You're right, and it's a good thing we found an armory while we were up here."

Ed's eyes widened when he finally realized that he dropped his P99 and M16 in the room when he was fighting Wesker with Jill. He ran a hand through his hair and looked down at the ground.

"What's wrong, Ed?" Jill asked.

"I dropped my guns when we were fighting Wesker. So now I don't have any weapons." Ed replied.

"Well you're in luck, Ed-boy! Rolf grabbed some weapons while in the armory!"

Ed opened the duffel bag that was at Kevin's feet. Inside he found an FN SCAR and an M9. Ed picked up the clips for both guns along with the tactical flashlight and ACOG sight. After putting everything together, Ed was ready to move.

"Okay, let's go back downstairs. I don't think they should be too far." Jill said.

Ed led the group down the hall, his new rifle ready to go. As they rounded the corner, Ed saw three zombies moving towards them.

"Hold on. I want to try this gun out." Ed said.

He raised the SCAR and fired one shot at each zombie. Each zombie hit the floor with parts of their skull missing. Ed blinked then grinned at his rifle.

"I love this thing!" Ed said with a grin.

"No kidding, that thing has some serious power." Kevin agreed.

"Kevin, Ed-boy, can we get moving? I'm growing weak." Rolf said.

The three of them looked at Rolf and began to grow uneasy. Rolf's eyes were becoming bloodshot, he was very pale, and he was sweating badly. Jill turned to Kevin and Ed with a frown. Both of them knew Rolf was either going to have to be killed as soon as they rejoined the others or they would have to isolate him. Either way, it was another friend lost to this nightmare that showed no signs of ending.

"Yeah, let's go. Just hang in there, Rolf. We'll get you back up and going in no time!" Kevin assured with a grin.

"I hope so, Kevin. I hope so." Rolf replied.
