Ada

Rounds tore through the windows and they fired out of them trying to defend themselves. She fired her SMG out of the window but bailed for cover as the rounds tore through. Leon grabbed her and they took cover on the ground behind a corridor as explosions started sounding. Ada's head was pounding as her ears rang after the blasts sounded, the deafening blast hurting her ears. Leon fired the H&K out of the window once back on his feet. She didn't hear him but read his lips, "Are you okay?" He helped her up and they took off. There was drones attacking the building. Victor, the ALF guy showed up firing his AK screaming, "What the fuck, man?! More army assholes?!" Agent Grant had taken a few rounds as he fired dropping a couple of drones out of the sky but he cried out, "They're trying to level the whole building!"

Ada got her crossbow having made more explosive bolts in the time since Chris Redfield left the building for Rikers. Two ALF members let off rounds with M-16 variants but they were quickly mopped up one from rounds, the other from a blast that followed up. They were thrown to the ground again from the force of the blast. The drones were getting through the windows and were firing on anybody they could get to that they saw. Ada and Leon retreated to the men's room Ada firing over her shoulder getting one of them spot on and she grabbed Leon pulling him in, the explosion following as they skidded across the floor. Though it was dry it was still disgusting being on a bathroom floor but it beat the hell out of getting blown to pieces.

"CLAIRE! Are you all right?!" Cried out Leon. Ada heard a feminine cry in one of the other rooms. She remembered Claire had went into the ladies room. Ada warned him, "Keep it down! There's more of them out there."

A drone came through the destroyed bathroom door searching. Ada held her finger up and he did as she said as it went through the bathroom. She kicked the door open and fired her SMG hitting it dead on. They came out carefully watching out for any more drones that might have been after them. Leon ran to a room and Ada followed but was not sure what he was doing. He grabed an M-16 Rifle which had belonged to John having taken it. He took down another drone but there were more drones coming and they were levelling the floor with explosives Leon was again thrown to the ground and Ada too. She got up helping him up and they hurried for the stairwell.

Victor and someof his surviving guerillas including the girl and that guy Angel and a few others who had managed to survive were not far behind them, Angel firing at a drone and they got tlo the stairs too but the warriors went the other way upstairs while Ada and Leon went downstairs. Leon went back up to try and warn them that wasn't a good idea but he couldnt get there in time. Another explosion went off rocking the building this time in the stair well. Leon took a spill down the stairs. Ada helped him up, the DSO agent, dazed. "I'm supposed to be the one with the concussion."

Leon had taken a few pieces of shrapnel in his left leg and right arm. She helped him down the stairs a few more floors but she made him sit down. "It's a long way down...and we're both a mess. We gotta get these pieces of metalout of you. The rest will have to be taken out by a surgeon but I can help a little bit with this. You won't bleed to death."

She used a first aid spray can on his wounds retrieving it from her pack and used tweezers to get a few pieces out and she wrapped him up with gauze, grateful that some of the supplies had survived the bombardment. "Ahhh!" He winced crying out as she helped him. She wrapped it up."I just can't wait for this to be over..." He breathed.

She smiled. "We both need a vacation. That much is for sure."

Ada let him rest there a second and then she checked her ammo for the M4. "I'm out..." She said with a sigh. Leon groaned handing her the other Rifle he had taken, surprising her that it too had survived the bombing and that Leon had managed to get it."This belonged to David..." He said softly with sorrow in his voice. Ada, understanding what that meant to him took it.

They headed down a few floors Leon wincing in pain but trying to soldier on. They stopped at the 45th floor but they could hear gunfire inside followed by silence. "We should be careful...whoeveris in there clould have been killed," Ada , ever the hero said, "It's worth checking to see if they're alive. You do it for me and I would for you..."

They carefully and slowly opened the door and toAda';s surprise she saw Agent Grant who had been wounded in the firefight. upstairs. He had made it down here too. Jessica was at his side."You two made it..." Jessica said stealing the words from Ada's mouth. Leon tried to be tough and ignore his own ;pain but said,"Force of habit."

Just then, Grant told them,"Hang on..." Somebody was talking to him on his headset. "Redfield, what's going on? you on your way back?"

"We've got Muller and Agent Birkin. Bad news, Kevin...we lost Barry..."

"Shit...his family is going to be torn apart by that...all right. How far out are you? We're under attack by the Family we need toevacuate ASAP. Those ALF guys have more survivors they brought out from Brooklyn and the rest of Manhattan. We're not the US military sodo we have a contiengacny plan as far as that? ALF I mean."

"They might be considered terrorists by the united states but right now there are larger things at stake here. We work for the U. world not just the US. Some of them helped us down in Oceana Aldea. If not for them me and Sheva wouldn't have made it back here. It's our job to get civilians to safety and maybe we can evacuate some of them if they keep their mouths shut and pretend to just be civilians with guns. They helped us up here too."

"You think Uncle Sam's going tolet that happen? Even if we get them outta NYC, they still got a target on their back," Chris sighed. "We can try and get some oif them to Canada once we get Terra Save might not be clear to get called in yet cause the danger isn't over yet but once it is they're going to hav their hands full with the city. Claire was first on the scene but she'll have to be debriefed too. Even if she's with them. We'll have to have some of her colleagues meet us at HQ to tend to any survivors that need help. Make sure they don't need C virus vaccines."

Chris added,"And we're almost there I can see the building...shit...Kevin...you got grunts and jar heads on the ground rolling in heavy. We've gotta try and get you out of there."

Just then automatic fire sounded off in the head set. "Shit! We're taking fire!"

Josh screamed, "Helicopters inbound!"

Sheva cried out, "They're with The Family!" Chris screamed to Kevin, "You need to try and get out of there! What floor are you on? They've got the first floor locked down!" Leon told Kevin, "I need to talk to him it's imporant,"

The BSAA agent hesitated but then gave it up. "Chris, it's 're on the 45th floor they attacked the 50th floor. We got seperated from Claire. She's still on the 50th I think she was with Steve..."

Chris hesitated then responded, "We'll try and come to you but we have toclear out some of the hostiles. They've gpot more drones too. We've got a helicopter we commandeered it at the prison. If we have to we'll pick you guys up out front but it'd be best to avoid it."

Ada held up her grapple gun looking at Leon, "That shouldn't be a problem. Do you two have a way down?" Jessica nodded, "We can rappel down too don't worry. Just go we'll follow you."

They got to the window and she told Leon to hold on. They began to godown the side of the building. "I really hate heights..." Leon whispered as the wind blew like crazy and they lowered down. They could hear gunfire down below on the streets and Ada could see a mix of BSAA agents and what looked like some more recent ALF members shooting it out with the Family and the National ALF and the BSAA were making a hell of a stand but they were outnumbered. As they got low they finally touched the ground and Ada prepared herself for the possibility of a gunfight but she and Leon tried to stay out of sight. The BSAA agents arrived on the ground and were shooting it out with the Marines and the Army too so Ada and Leon stayed low ducking behind vehicles. They spotted a humvee and a tank rolling up the street and the fired at the platoon of soldiers.

At least a dozen were killed by the first blast plus three ALF members and two more survivors who happened toe fighting on the side of the ALF or possibly the BSAA, by accident. They fired again and they were thrown to the ground. "Stay down..." Gasped Leon but Ada peered up and said, "That's Chris. They're back."

A lot of the soldiers were displacing retreating to alleys and nearby corners as well as near the entrance of the Empire State Building and some withdrew inside but still fired. A BSAA agent of Serbian descent from the European branch screamed, "GODDAMN IT WE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU STOP SHOOTING AT US!" Ada spotted a Family helicopter in the sky. Chris and the others emptied out of the tank as well as the Humvee. Ada beckoned to them from behind a parked SUV. "Over here!" They got out and began to advance and the Family helicopter fired on the tank rockets descending on it kicking up an inferno making 5th avenue look more like hell than Manhattan.

Ada spotted Jake Wesker and Sherry Birkin along with Chris, , Sheva, Josh and a couple of others from what remained of Barry's team. "Where is Claire?" Chris asked as the Family helicopter circled around for another air assault and the European SOU agents tried to shoot it down with a Alcotán-100 rocket launcher while also holding back the overwhelming number of Marines, Grunts and Reservists. Still they would not be able to hold out long.

Two more ALF warriors and the BSAA agent who had screamed at the soldiers were hit by the Family chopper, a sweep of .50 rounds destroying them, one ALF member, a native man of Mexican descent lay there with his intestines hanging out and blood dripping from his mouth. The kid couldn't have been more than twenty. The second was a man of Lenape Indian descent with a shaved head, he wore a brown sweater and gray jeans. He was older, maybe his late thirties and he lay on his stomach, exit wounds in his back. The Serbian was the biggest mess.

His face was a mess looking more like hamburger than a skull and he had several gaping wounds in his chest too. "We have to take that chopper down before it takes all of us!" Sheva cried out, "There;s too many hostiles!" Yoko decided to go for it. "Cover me!" Chris, Sheva, Josh, Jake and Sherry all laid down covering fire for the Raccoon Survivor and SOU agent as she went for the rocket launcher. The shot the deceased agent had fired missed but he still had another. She took cover behind an M939 Military truck as she loaded the rocket up. She took aim as it came back around. She fired and it did get the side of it. The thing began to spin out of control crashing into a window on the 19th floor.

"Let;s get my sister..." Just then they saw a flash of speed and Ada worried it might be Wesker but was relieved to see Steve. He brought Claire to her brother. "You all need to get out of here! There's too many soldiers! They're all over the place!" Claire told him,"We're not leaving you behind!" He told her,"Claire I have to buy you guys some time the military and the family is bringing more reinforcements they're shooting civilians too I have to level the playing field. Look, where are you going?"

Chris told him,"HQ. Albany New York."

"Give me the address! I'll meet you there!" Claire had a look of worry on her face. He touched her cheek pulling her in close and kissing her. "Claire...Ipromise I won't leave you i'm going to meet you there. In fact I might even beat you guys there."

Chris told him, "Gimme your arm," Steve did. He wrote the address down and Steve told him, "I'll be there soon."

With that, Ada and Leon followed them headed to where Chris said Jill was waiting with a helicopter.

Meanwhile...

Jessica stared at Kevin with tears in her eyes. They'd fought their way down nearly to the first floor and had managed to hold their own but now he was telling her to leave him. "You're my partner. I'm not just going to leave so you can get killed."

"Jess...you're a good woman no matter what anybody else says. If Chris never forgives you for what happens on the Queen Zenobia that's his loss. You have Kieth and Quint to take care of you. And you have to take care of them. i'm on my last leg I won't be able to keep up. All I can do is do what I do best. Fight to the end. Rapel down to the street and get out of here. Find a way back to HQ."

"We can get you out of here we can fix your wounds!" He brushed a tear away. "Jessica...I've wanted to die ever since the incident in India. You've always been there for me and you helped me live through it but everybody has their time and my time is now. I can feel it in my bones but it isn't your time yet. I want you to get as far as away from here as you can. The Family is coming and they're bad Jessica..."

More tears poured down her cheeks. She hugged him and he hugged her back. They held each other a moment. Finally she let go and went to the window to rope down just as a few smoke grenades were tossed in and he spotted silhouettes advancing towards him in the darkness. Grant, though he already had five bullet wounds in him so far, possibly more, continued to fight. He injected himself with an adrenaline shot to keep himself going a bit longer to hold out for her. He fired, trying to hit as many of them as he could but felt a few rounds hit him in the chest. He had on armor but one still went through. He dropped his weapon falling to the floor. A figure knelt down towards him. "I must say...your resilience is quite admirable for a human but every mortal has its limits. I don't suppose you'd be willing to make things easier for yourself by telling me where Chris is going. Back to the London headquarters? Or closer by?"

"What's...in it...for me...?" Asked Grant. The menacing figure sneered. "I promise you a merciful death. Nothing more."

Grant spat blood on him. "I lost the woman I love...and my family...in the India outbreak...that was the worst thing...so I'm not afraid of you..."

The man wiped the blood from his sunglasses and face with a gloved hand. "As I said, i admire your resilience. I suppose you are right. Nothing I do to you could possibly damage you further than what has already been done. The human capacity for cruelty seems infinite doesn't it? Be that as it may, even if I have no desire to torture you the way I would Chris, I'm afraid my men here want retribution for the soldiers you killed."

He walked away looking at the Family gunmen as well as several National Guard reservists. "Try not to take too terribly long. Time is of the essence."

Albert would go and retrieve Excella. It seemed after all that though her blody had not been worthy of the Uroburos, through the research of the late Alex Wesker she had been revived and all though Alexia had transgressed and was now in the body of one of his reserved human hosts, the mixture of Alexia's DNA with Excella's had still left enough of an impact on her that she was now worthy. He could sense it. She had been worthy to rule at his side all along and he had been blind to see it. But no more.

Wesker walked down all the remaining stairs and out of the building passing what seemed like an endless multitude of dead bodies from guerrillas, deceased zombies, soldiers, BSAA agents and Family members. He looked at the wounds on a good many of them. Steve...He thought with a scowl.

As he headed onto the street, witnessing more carnage in the aftermath of the gunfight, he spotted Excella walking towards him. She met him and said, "My dearest Albert! What will we do about Alexia Ashford?" He said with a grin, "I wouldn't worry about her. I have plans for her and her sins will not go unpunished."

Wesker then looked to the sky to see a helicopter taking off. Somehow he could sense his son was aboard it. And most likely, Chris too. "It seems Chris has escaped again...but we have a secret weapon aboard..."

He then turned back to her and looked to see some Family agents with a little girl nearby. A girl with auburn hair and blue eyes and pale skin. She couldn't have been more than eight at the most if even that. She was probably a bit younger. "Excella my dear...I'd like you to meet our daughter...Julia Valentine."

Chris

He was in the helicopter with Jill, Claire Sheva and Jake. Another helicopter had come to get Leon, Ada, Sherry Yoko, Josh and Natalie. A third one was coming to see if Rebecca had survived. It was possible but he wasn't sure how. They'd all had to retreat because the threat was too big themselves so he wasn't sure. He had an uneasy feeling something went wrong. Jake looked at Chris saying, "You told me in China we'd have a conversation about what happened between you and my father. We just survived hell. I spent way too much time in the worst prison in America. You want to tell me what the hell happened in Africa?"

Chris said, "All right...it was 1998...me and Jill and Barry and your father were part of S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team. We went to the Arklay Mountains to investigate some mysterious murders. About ten people had been attacked that we knew about. We came to this mansion...it was filled with zombies and other nightmares fresh out of a horror movie. I first found out your dad was with Umbrella when I found a picture of him as part of the science team. He shot Rebecca and tried to kill her. It turned out he was behind the outbreak. We blew up the mansion and we thought he was dead but he faked his death. He let a tyrant impale him so he could come back with superhuman abilities."

Jake asked, "Then how did the virus spread to Raccoon City?" Chris explained, "It was during the assassination of Sherry Birkin's father. He was shot and they spilled some of the virus. Some rats licked it up. They went into the cities biting people. I'm sure you know the rest of the story there. For years me and your father were at odds with each other. He ended up killing Oswald Spencer the man who was like his own father. He got his ideas about becoming a God from him. In Africa...he wanted to try and infect the human population. He wanted to spread the Uroburos virus on a global scale."

Chris sighed."I'm sorry I killed him, Jake. It had to be done. None of us knew he had a son. Even he didn't. It seems like only your mother did and then later on Neo Umbrella."

Jake scoffed. "Well it's not like he stayed dead is it? I met him. In Rikers. He wanted me to join him."

Chris looked at the younger man with curiosity. "Oh?" Jake told him, "Don;t worry. If I wanted to kill you to avenge my fathers 'Death' I could have shot you back in Asia. So I keep hearing about him in Africa. What was he like there?"

Sheva showed him a picture that had been saved from an image in the black box of the crash at the volcano. Jake looked at the image of his father with tentacles who still sort of resembled himself but was no longer human. "He wanted so hard to not be human. To not be mortal. Maybe deep down this was his true colors. Maybe he was a monster all along. Even if he was inside a human...maybe he never needed the virus."

Jake said with a touch of empathy, "Maybe he just had the wrong kind of father. Just like me."

Sheva flashed the young man a reassuring smile. "You're nothing like him. Maybe you turned out to be the man who saved the world while your father tried to destroy it because you were away from him. Wesker turned out to be so evil because of the man who raised him. You should be proud you broke the chain."

Jake looked uncomfortable at hearing this from the woman who had assisted in killing his father. "I am..." He said but Chris wasn't convinced he was and he wasn't even convinced Jake himself believed it. He saw trouble almost sorrow in his eyes but he knew it wasn't from his father. "I miss my mother...she was the one who raised me..."

Sheva put a hand on his arm saying, "I'm sure she was a good woman and that she would be proud of you."

As they continued to ride back Jake looked down. "Jill to HQ. This is Agent Valentine. Do you read me?"

They were not that far away. "Chris, there's noresponse. Something must be wrong with our communication theirs..."

Chris tried to talk to them too but got no response. "There must be a malfunction or something. We'll be there soon and we can check it out."

Rebecca

They emerged from the building to see more of the dead on the first floor than before but they saw helicopters leaving. Billy looked at all the dead marines. "Fuck..."

Rebecca said, "They might not know we're still alive. We need to get out of the city. To Albany. That's where I think they headed."

Billy nodded, "Fine by me. The further away I get from the other jar heads the better.,"

They headed through the streets of Manhattan trying to avoid any military convoys. They peered in through a window of a store where there was a TV on. Rebecca's mouth dropped. "We have just received word that all though the president has given orders to continue to try and retake New York City from the hostiles with the help of the BSAA, the viral outbreak in Oceana Aldea and the other neighboring cities in Puerto Rico as well as San Juan has become overrun. The president has issued a missile strike topurge the island of the undead and is scheduled to launch at 6:18PM today."

"Carlos...Jill's friend...he's still there..." Rebecca said. Billy told her,"i'm sorry...it was a mess down there...but there's nothing we can do now for them. Honor the dead fight like hell for the living. If your friends, Chris and the others went to Albany then we need to find a chopper or a car or a plane or a boat whatever will get us out there. They should have a plan to stop this Wesker guy.I'm not BSAA but I'm on board all the way but we need to get out of here."

Rebecca nodded. "Let's do it."

Later...

He looked to see HQ was gone the base was destroyed. There was the same level of carnage that there had been in the streets of NYC. The building was ablaze and there were bodies all over the outside of it. BSAA vehicles were on fire too. They searched through the wreckage of the building. There must have been at least thirty dead SOU agents of the North American Branch at this particular base. "Who could have done this?" Cried Jill. Jake said, "It was me..."

Chris turned to look at him. "What...? Why?!" Jake's eyes were dark wit rage and sorrow. "My father told me to. He left me a lab top at the prison. The Family has access to satellite missiles. He told me this might be where you would try and relocate to. He told me if he found that the Albany base was up in smoke that would be his cue to do the same to the London branch..and the other branches around the world."

"Jake why the hell would you do this?! You're one of us! You're on our side! What would Sherry think?!" Jake screamed, "You leave her out of this! This has nothing to do with her or even Wesker! This is between you and me!" Chris asked him out of genuine confusion, "What are we talking about here?" Jake looked at him with hate. "You didn't just kill my dad, Chris. You killed my mom too."

Chris scoffed, "That's insane. Your mother died in Europe I never met her."

Jake told him, "That';s what I thought for the longest time. But I found out that my mom did contact him just before she died. She told him she needed him to find me. Said she was heart broken her son was a mercenary just trying to help get her better. He asked if he would help. He said he would be there as soon as he finished with his business in Africa."

"Jake that's insane! I had nothing to do with your mothers death he's just trying to get into your head! This is what he does. He's using you the way he used us."

Jake's voice cracked as tears filled his eyes. "Yeah...your little partner here...Alex's cousin...I bet for her it really was just orders but for you it really was personal. You were so bent on getting revenge you didn't care who's lives you destroyed in order to get it!"

Chris told him, "Jake..what you said is exactly what your father did! It's what he's doing! He's responsible for thousands of deaths. Maybe millions now because New York City! It's not too late you can come back from this... even if he did talk to her before she died he was manipulating her just like he's manipulating you. He manipulated us all! Now he's in charge of the Family and they control the US military and the CIA. They control the world so he has the power to manipulate them too. We have to stop him! You can't switch sides like this! Jake...he was gonna dropthe Uroburos virus on the world! How was he supposed to help your mom if he destroyed the world?"

Jake snarled, "If he's lying then where did he get this, huh? I had the only copy of this fucking letter and yet Wesker had one too! How did he get it?! You pussy foot around with me but when I asked him questions he was straight with me when I first met him. He didn't tell me next time he didn't put it aside say that my questions weren't important right now. My father could have saved her with the money he had. And he said he was going to start with Africa but he would have made sure she was safe that i was safe. IT'S YOUR FAULT! I WASTED ALL THESE YEARS OF MY LIFE FOR NOTHING!"

Jake pointed his handgun at him. Sheva, Jill and Claire aimed their weapons at Jake. Claire commanded, "Let him go, right now!" Jill warned, "I don't want to but I'll kill you if I have to. We gotta take you in."

"You can shoot me but i'll still get him," Jake warned. Chris told them to put theirs down."Let;s talk this out...put the gun down Jake..." They reluctantly did what he said. Jake told him, "You and me are going to settle this now. You killed my father and you killed my mother. Now you're going to face their son."

Chris looked at the dead bodies of all the BSAA agents. "I understand you want to kill me. When my team died in Europe I wanted to die too. But these people did nothing to you. What is Sherry going to think that you turned on us like this? What would your mother think?" Jake lowered his pistol. "I WANT HER HERE TO TELL ME HERSELF!"

He roared swinging on Chris hitting him with a haymaker. He charged into the older man following up with two jabs. Chris grabbed a fist and reversed it striking Jake in the chin. Jake drove his knee into his stomach and Chris hooked Jake in the right cheek and kicked him in the stomach. He tried to pin him down but Jake grappled with him. Claire aimed her Handgun at Jake but they were exchanging blows and moving so fast that she couldn't fire for fear of hitting him.

The helicopter with Sherry and the oithers had only been behind them by a bit and it was lowering as Jake and Chris fought. Jake had a gash on his left cheek from Chris booth but Jake had busted his lip. Chris hit Jake with a blow to the jaw and a kick to the right rib cage and he body slammed the younger man down."It's over! Stop!" Sheva ran to the other chopper to quickly let them know what was going on as they were getting off. Jake got up and started to run so Chris chased him through the burning building the two men choking on smoke as Chris pursued Muller.

He got to a second floor office that went the opposite direction of where they came from. It was Jake's way out. The others were splitting up looking for the two of them in the various parts of the HQ building. Just then, Sherry emerged from the hall way by herself with her handgun drawn. "Jake! Stop! You have to stop! I know what happened! I'm sorry about your mother...I didn't realize all of this was eating away at you. You held it together at the prison!"

Jake had a jailhouse Shank to Chris's throat, the older man caught in a full nelson."Sherry...this is between me and him...please go away...walk away...I don't want you to see this..."

Sherry told him,"Jake...I heard you say you loved me...i love you too...please don't do this...!" Jake looked at her and said, "I do..." He let Chris go and Chris coughed and Sherry lowered the gun. "But I loved my mother..." With that jake stabbed Chris in the stomach. He pushed the blade in deep. The vest stopped some of the impact but he stabbed him near the armpit severing an artery. Chris gasped collapsing as he bled out intensely. Claire spotted this coming through the door, "Chris!" She was weakened by the smoke coughing and she got down at her brothers side. "Don't...don't kill him...he doesn't know better..." Chris weakly said.

His vision was blurry...he was losing strength. Jake jumped down to the second floor a little hurt from the fall but not by much. Sherry followed him down. "Jake! I can't let you leave!" He looked at her saying, "Then you'd better shoot me. Cause that's the only way i'm stopping. I love you...but I hate him...and i can't let them catch me. I wasn't like my father but chris made me into him!"

Sherry began to tear up. She couldn't shoot him."If you leave...I don't ever want to see you again..."

He looked at her, heart broken. "You won't...take care of yourself Sherry. I'll never forget you."

Claire

She tried to keep pressure on the bleeding. she sobbed, "Get Rebecca in here!" Sheva and Jill emerged both women in tears upon seeing what happened. "Hang on Chris! Stay with us!" Sheva cried. Jill told him, "Please Chris don'tr leave me...after everything we've been through..."

Jill looked at him her tears dripping to him. "I love you all..I'm sorry...I...Claire...make sure...Steve doesn't go back to Wesker...Jill..Sheva...I love both of you...don't...stop...fighting...Wesker...stop hi..." With that he stopped talking the light in his eyes going out. Jill started attempting CPR. "Chris...please! Wake up!" She turned to Rebecca. "Do something!" Claire cried uncontrollably and Jill was too. Claire had always been in touch with her emotions but she had never seen Jill like this. Rebecca got out a crash cart. "Clear!" It wasn't working. Jill screamed, " CHRIS!" She turned to Chambers. "Isn't there anything else you can do?!" Rebecca, herself crying, said,"I can't...the artery Jake cut...even if Chris had been at a hospital with a surgery team to work on him he'd have bled to death...I'm sorry..."

Claire couldn't look at him like this. She went down to where Sherry was. Josh carried Chris's body out of the burning building. Sherry dropped her pistol looking at Claire with watery eyes. "I couldn't shoot him Claire...I couldn't..." Just like that Sherry was like her twelve year old self again and not her adult self. They hugged crying."It's okay..."

Josh hugged Sheva. "It's going to be all right baby sister...Wesker won't get away with this..."

Sheva sobbed, "It's not all right...I'm pregnant...it's his..."

Later

Jill looked at his body being given a moment alone with him. They hadn't yet done the autopsy Each of them had. This wasn't normally procedure for anybody but family but they had let it slide. Jill couldn't believe she was the one living while he was dead. She held out her combat knife. "Just hang on Chris...we'll be together soon..." With that she cut her wrist..

So I ended this on a cliff hanger. I know this was dark and it seems like allis lost but there is more to it and things are not all that they seem. The next chapter will take place 3-4 years later and in India. So Jake and the whole deal with Wesker and his mother and Chris with his father I wanted sort of a Darth Vader and Luke thing going on only now it seems Luke turned to the dark side. I told you there was a reason why Jake was finding out that his mother actually had contacted Wesker. Is this the end for Chris Redfield and do you think that baby Wesker has was his or Wesker's? It is Jill's for sure. The answer should be obvious at least as far as what I've shown so far as far as Chris and Jill and Wesker and Jill. However that baby of Sheva's she just found out about really is hers.

Kevin Grant was kinda based on Boone from Fallout NV soi wanted his death to somewhat reflect his back story and one of the possible endings for him. Jake's bombing of the BSAA base and Chris being on the chopper unaware of it thinking it was just a malfunction is based on the alternate ending to Fallout Broken Steel if you choose to bomb the citadel instead of the Enclave. And do you think Carlos survived?

I know this is a roller coaster of good and bad and when it's bad it's really bad but wit surprise pregnancy's and twists in the plots and untimely deaths i wanted to do to readers what walking dead does to viewers. And hey Claire has a bun in the oven too and she will be reunited with Rani too so it's not all lost Anyway that is all for now. Hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for the next chapter. Is it all up to Jill now and with the virus in her is she the last hope of defeating Wesker? I'm not going to confirm or deny any death as far as Chris. Like Glen on TWD you will have to see what happens but as far as the artery I forget the name of it is true if you sever that one you're fucked. And whether Chris lives or dies you'll find out the next chapter but let's say I decide he's dead, I mean I did warn you it would be character deaths do you want a realistic ending or a happy ending?

Whether Chris lives or dies or other characters who are cannon die or live and which one does or not, the theme of this story in a sense and a lot of my other Resident Evil stories will be Pyrrhic victory.

Enjoy and please leave a detailed review.
