Claire

They'd arrived in Nepal. Jill had told them what the plan was and they had agreed upon it. They would be reunited with their children soon. It would take some adjustment getting used to the knowledge they now had about Sarah Valentine. It wasn't easy knowing what they did. Claire knew she would soon need to break the news to Sheva. She watched Chris and Sheva hugged with Sheva relieved to see him and he also hugged his daughter. She watched as Sheva asked, "Where's Josh?" Jill looked down wit shame. "He didn't make it...he...gave his live to try and destroy Wesker...,he did kill Excella. But he didn't get Wesker..."

Jill had tears in her eyes and Chris looked down. Sheva gasped as tears filled hers as well. "What...no...his family will be devastated..."

Sheva looked at Chris and then at Jill since she'd been the last to see him alive. "It can't be...his family..."

"That...Sheva...that's part of why he...Excella..."

Sheva stared into the brunettes eyes realizing what she was saying. Jill breathed. "They got to them in Africa. I don't know how. And they killed them...they were carriers...just like back in Kijuju...but she got rid of them...they had no control over themselves..."

"I DON'T CARE!" Sheva screamed in a sudden rage as tears rolled down her cheeks. "He was family to me! I'm going to kill all of those bastards!"

"No...they didn't have control. Just like I didn't before...Josh...he only stayed alive long enough to make her pay..I tried to kill Wesker but...he got away...I think...I was just trying to get Sarah out of there. Just like you would have wanted Zuri out of harm's way."

Sheva yelled, "So you let him live?!" She charged at her but Chris grabbed her from behind holding the African woman back and he pulled her to the ground into a sitting position. He hugged her as she cried. She spun around weeping into the bigger man's chest, her tears soaking his shirt.

Rebecca

They made their way up the mountains. They could see the Chinese and Russians and Americans and Indian were destroying each other. The US military had captured the city of Eeshvar Shahar and had taken over the air strip there and were now using it as a base for the Navy and Airforce planes. She and Billy had new weapons this time around. She had a Beretta M92F Handgun, a .357 Desert Eagle, and a QBZ-95 Assault Rifle.

Billy had a QCW-05 Sub Machine Gun, a QBU-88 Sniper Rifle, and a Type 54 pistol. They made their way towards the base. "We should be helping them..."

Rebecca assured him, "It's not your war anymore, Billy. It's a distraction. All of it. It's not worth it. The first war...it was pointless. Really of it was. But it was over an assassination. And which colonial army got to rule over Asia and Africa. The second war was uglier but more nessecary. Stopping one of the worst dictators...and I don't like what was done in Nagasaki or Hiroshima but the fact is they did kill so many people in China and the pacific. Even if none of the American lives mattered, they still killed so many on their own continent. They had to be stopped."

"And now the third time around, America's the goddamn axis," Billy said. He never thought those words would cross his lips but they just did. Rebecca looked at him with somewhat of a grim expression. "There is no right or wrong side this time. It's all wrong. Everybody's fighting a war but only a few people are fighting the right war."

He looked at her with some angst in his expression. "Yeah but this time around, it's down to the Family. You know I never started hearing about that even existing until 2009. But it does. Nobody just realized anything until it was way too late. The public knew what the government was up to to a degree but they didn't fight against them. Hell, they probably had a hand in the first two wars. I didn't think they'd even need to have help with an outcome from it or intervening but now we can't know for sure. They've been around since at least the Revolutionary War. Maybe before."

"What are you saying?" Asked the shorter haired woman. "Before they were controlling a lot of the worldly events but now, the war has caused them to show their hand. And after Lanshiang China hasn't been afraid to place the blame where it's due. We all know what happened there in 13' we've heard it from Chris and from Leon. But after the BSAA left and the mission was over things started to heat up over there. What I'm saying is...two years ago it was pointless but now China and Russia are on our side. They're attacking the base that belongs to Wesker. Even if they don't know what they'tre doing, they're going to be saving more people than they realize."

"Okay. Just as long as they're careful in the attacks. If it's a nuclear facility we don't want to set it off to the point of setting off a nuke. If Wesker has any in there..."

Billy seemed surprised she didn't know how it worked. "It woudn't destroy an entire area per say. It might leave the area radioactive and I agree that is really bad but it's not as bad as the alternative. Either nuclear annihilation or viral annihilation. I'll take my chances with the radiation. Even if I have to die myself."

"I don't want that to happen. So let's make sure that doesn't happen..."

"I don't want it to happen to either of us. But one man dead is better than the entire world. I once was willing to go halfway across the world away from home to kill enemies that weren't my business and to die for my country. At least that's what I thought. But now I'm willing to die for everybody. America's allies and enemies. Because if we're all extinct none of that will matter anymore."

"Well...I don't want either of us to die but if we have to...let's make sure we get Wesker first..."

"Agreed."

They began to make their way to the base. Reggie was waiting for them next to an empty Russian truck. He carried an AK-12 and he said,"You two ready?"

They nodded. They had to wait as the ambush went forward. The Americans were holding out but their numbers were thinning. Billy watched through some cans. He, Rebecca and Reggie got to cover behind a large rock. It was cold as hell. Rounds were being fired off every second but suddenly, several rounds were fired at the trio. Two snipers were picking off Chinese and Russian soldiers who were trying to advance from cover to cover while others fired from a distance laying down suppressive fire. They then moved away from where they were along the cover.

Billy looked up to see more helicopters flying ahead but the Americans shot down each war ship however this was not before they shelled the American and Indian lines. The two war ships going down exploded resulting in multiple Russian and Chinese casualties, at least twelve. "We're sitting ducks out here!" Yelled Reggie. "I don't think we got time to wait for them to thin out we gotta move!" Billy turned to Rebecca. "What do you think?"

"I think we have to do it..."

They waited for an opening. The Chinese and Russians, despite taking heavy casualties, were still advancing. Just then, they saw a cloaked figure standing at a peak carrying two pistols. He opened fire shooting down drones on both sides. "How is he doing that? That's unreal...one gun with each hand nobody has aim like that..."

The Chinese fired at him but he was already retreating. This time, a Family chopper dropped a large crate. It looked like it could have something as large as a tank inside. The Chinese shot down the Family chopper. Billy saw some Family agents advancing armed in what looked like special body armor. They looked like soldiers, like special ops but they were dropped off by a Family chopper similiar to that. They came in hot., Billy stayed in cover as four Marines opened fire plus a four man team of Family agents. Billy fired hitting the first soldier in the throat with a five round burst and he got back to cover. Reggie laid down fire as well hitting a soldier, a red haired female, standing at five six, with a head shot. Rebecca fired her automatic as well hitting one of the Family agents in the chest but they were protected by the armor. The crate was soon opened by two Russian soldiers laying down charges.

The blast got it open but they were met with a rude awakening. A lepotista came out and oozed blue gas. The Russian solders were turned instantly. Soon more soldiers started tlo get infected as the thing got loose. Soon, what seemed like an entire platoon worth of infected began to descend on the base and towards her, Billy and Reggie. The two ex marines started firing as they started to charge in. Soldiers on both sides of the conflict started to panic some descending into chaos trying to fire upon the infected soldiers. Rebecca looked through binnoculars to see the Family soldiers talking to Reagan. His men were panicked but he was trying to keep them in order.

The lepotista was making their way towards them but for now was consuming more victims with its fumes. Rebecca turned to Billy, "Hold the zombies off! I'm going to try and stop that thing!"

Billy told her, "i don't think you should go by yourself! Let me come with you!"

She shook her head. "There's no time! I can handle it. Just keep these things off of us!" She ran forward to engage. She fired her QBZ-95 hitting the thing with twenty five rounds. The Russian and Chinese soldiers initially thought she might be a threat as she was Americans but they turned their attention onto it when she saw she too was trying to kill it rather than panicking or trying to hold the line as the American soldiers were. They too, fired on it but it got closer to them and infected four more within seconds. A Russian soldier was bitten by one of his own team mates on the neck but she spotted the weapon he dropped as the man tore into him. It was a 9K38 Igla Rocket Launcher.

She went to grab it but it let out more gas and she ran to avoid the fumes. Rebecca emptied it into the thing and he got her Desert Eagle out and she started firing at it. She hit it with three shots in the head. It was wounded and she ran up and kicked it. She then ran away from it but fired another three shots. She got to the Missile Launcher snatcing it up. Three Russian soldiers saw what she was trying to do so they laid down fire at the thing. She aimed at it. She fired and the explosion luckily destroyed the thing all though as it was blown apart the three soldiers were infected next. She backed up as they convulsed and fell over only to rise up as carriers.

They came towards her, a large Russian of six feet grabbing her. He was still strong and he almost knocked her over but she kicked it off if only for a second. She reached for her bowie knife which she plunged into the things forehead. iut went down but a second zombie grabbed her shoving her over. He lunged for her but she rolled away snatching up her Desert Eagle and she fired but missed. Her hand was shaking and she backed up firing and hitting it in the neck. It went down but there was still the third one. She fired hitting the thing in the right thigh. The gun clicked empty after that and it went in to bite her and she screamed punching it and kicking but it fell and was instead going for her right leg. Its head exploded in a burst covering her jacket in blood. She looked to see Billy had fired from where he was with the Sniper Rifle. God I love you...She thought.

She ran back to where Billy and Reggie were. They had dropped about twenty five bodies and were still killing more. Billy told her, "Princess, I got good news and bad news. Good news is we killed a lot of these guys coming for us. Bad news is a few of them got to Reagan and his men so now there's more zombies in the way. Zombies in armor so they won't be as easy to kill from a distance!"

"That's okay it'll help make getting through easier...you saved me...thank you," She kissed him and he grinned saying, "You can thank me later. We got a war to win. Are Chris and the others on their way?"

"They should be," She nodded. Billy and Rebecca started to run towards the base. The Indian soldiers were rereating the other way and a few were being captured by the other side. American soldiers were still trying to hold out even though there was less than twenty of them stil alive trying to shoot their infected team mates yet also try and shoot the enemy soldiers. The Chinese and Russians were doing the same.

Reagan had a Rifle too and was fighting for his life. He swiped a keycard gaining access to the building. He and several more soldiers went inside but it shut behind them and a soldier of Korean American descent pounded on the door screaming to be let in. He was bitten from behind. Billy and Reggie dropped several more zombies and Reggie sighed. "We got no choice if we want through. Frag out!" He tossed it towards the bunched up group. The effects were catostrophic. It took out several zombies but also at least five of the soldiers who were fighting for their lives. Billy gritted his teeth and did the same. Rebecca had her M92F ready. Billy fired his Type 54 into the heads of two wounded soldiers and two crawling zombies. Reggie aimed at three other still alive soldiers. "No please!" He fired three head shots taking each of them out. It made her feel nauseus. Despite knowing what needed to be done and that it was for the greater goofd she didn't feel right about it. After all, before all this Billy and Reggie were Marines and so that was what they were. In a way it still was what they were even if tey weren't officialy. She was a medic however and while she would always try and defend herself, she had gotten into it to heal people not kill them.

She wondered how history would remember these poor soldiers, young men and women who had given their lives for a war even more pointless than the last two. She wondered if history would remember them either for that matter. Maybe it did not matter all. After all, maybe humanity was doomed. Though surely if they prevailed this would be the greatest battle ever fought. Whatever Wesker had planned in these mountains was not good.

They saw the door was locked. Billy spotted a wounded Family member. The man had a compound fracture from a gunshot. "Hey asshole! You have a key card to that place?" The man groaned in pain, "No...!" Billy stomped on his bone. He shreiked and Billy demanded, "You sure?!" The man screamed, "WESKER IS GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU! YOU'LL ALL SEE!" Reggie pointed his Handgun at the man's face. "That's a lot of faith for a man your dumb ass probably never even met. Aight, Will. Might as well kill him."

He then hesitated. "No, you know what? Why don't we just feed him to the carriers. That's a better death for a bastard like this."

"No! Don't leave me to to those things!" The ex Marine sneered, "Why not? Asshole like you is helping a bioterrorist destroy countries all over the world. Including America. I know the Family is supposed to be secret but the secret's out now. How are any of you looking out for America's interests? You? Simmons, Carla Radames, Alex Wesker, Albert Wesker? You caused the outbreaks in New York too. Millions are dying cause of you."

Billy suggested, "Yeah well its been around since the 1740's. They were around before America all though they might have had a hand in creating it. So they didn't just want to control the US. They wanted to control the world and they have for centuries. None of us knew until it was too late. We want to get to Reagan so we can get to Wesker."

"Reagan's just a pawn just like all of us! He said Wesker told him he'd secure a place for him and all of us in his new world if we helped him create it!"

"And you fell for it?! Wesker killed his entire team on a police force in 1998. He's had almost every scientist he's ever worked with killed. You're expandable to him."

Billy grabbed the guy to pick him up. "Ah well. Enoug chit chat. Time to go feed him to the carriers. They maybe mindless and misreable but even they gotta eat something."

"WAIT! I don't have a card but I know who does...Richard...the guy over there with the gunshot wound in his head..."

Rebecca went over to him and checked. Sure enough there was. They went to the door and she tried it. It let them in. They propped the door open. Reggie said, "Well yoyu've earned mercy after all. Just not the kind you asked for," He shot the Family agent between the eyes. Rebecca's heart skipped a beat as they went inside. It looked like your typical nuchlear facility and she saw the corpses of several workers on the floor some dead from gunshot wounds but she also saw bite marks.

She spotted a few more zombies. She began to empty her Desert Eagle into them. The other two Marines did the same. just then as they came around the corridor they were fired upon. They retreated to cover but Billy took a couple of rounds in the chest luckily he had body armor on. Reggie fired from cover hitting the soldier who did it, a Caucasian female Marine with short blonde hair and brown eyes in her left femur. "Cease fire!" Yelled a male voice. They listened in silence. "Lt. Coen...so you made it through the years. Welcome to Mt. Kailash!"

"Reagan! You son of a bitch! You're responsible for all these Marines getting killed! Taking orders from the Family and Wesker? It's amazing you tried to have me killed!"

"I did what';s nessecary! Humanity is going to have to go through some changes. Physically and mentally. Biologically."

"You tried to have me executed for a massacre you ordered! You framed me!"

"You made it out alive didn't you? Changed your name and still served in the Corps for years. That is dedication. That is true patriotism. At least you were untoil you abandoned your country in her hour of need back in New York City."

"That's a lie! You're in cahoots with the Family! The blood of those twenty three civilians are on your hands! And millions of New Yorkers plus the people of India, China..you're the traitor!"

"Those people in Africa love us, boy! We stopped the war lords with their backwards customs from cutting off their limbs! Every African country where a specal operations mission has taken place is better off! They should be sending us to every African nation not the missionaries."

"King Leopold was the one who started that lim chopping shit you old hypocritrical motherfucker!" Yelled Reggie. "Ahhh...if it isn't my other favorite Marine. Tsk tsk. Billy...you really arde a negative influence on your fellow soldiers. You got a good soldier, son of a patriot to go AWOL. Of course, not as fast as you did but I still give credit where its due."

A soldier wads trying to flank them and Rebecca saw him. She fired her .357 hitting him with a head shot. More gunfire broke out. Billy started to engage the enemy soldiers. "Come out and fight me, Samuel! Quit sending young men to do your dirty work and get killed for it!"

"That's General Reagan to you!"

Rebecca and Reggie tried going the other direction but there was two soldiers. Rebecca looked to the lack male and he signalled with his head that they would both come out shooting but that she

October 1, 2017

Chris

It was cold outside but luckily they all had shelter. He wore a winter jacket and gear not so unlike what he had worn in the mountains with Jessica before. Jill wore what she had when they had gone to Russia together. Claire was watching over Robert and Zuri and Sarah. He was putting firewood to the fire. He was stressed out looking down at the flames. Jill had requested that they have some time with him to the others. "Are you okay?" Jill asked. He looked baclk at her and at Sheva then back at the fire. "Chris...talk to me...I've spent so many years away from you. You lost me for three years and I .lost yoiu for three years. I don't want there to be any distance between us anymore. Talk to me..."

"I couldn't...stop their deaths. Quint and Keith. They were our friends too. And Josh...I should have been there. I should have seen it."

Sheva came to his side. "You can't blame yourself. Neither of us were there. Jill was there and even she couldn't stop it. Josh...he made his choice."

"He's gone!" Chris yelled.

Parker

They were making their way through the chaos and death that plagued the battlefield. Chris and the others had made it into the base each group sneaking in through different exits. He and Jessica were with each other as before. He had a Glock 18 and an M4A1. She had the same. Artillery shells were bombing the mountain as were drones and they saw the bodies of Chinese and Russian soldiers. They needed to make it to the base but there was about a hundred yards between them and it. Both the Americans and Indians and the Chinese and Russians were using drones on each other. "There's two drones. We have to get past them," The Italian BSAA agent told her.

"I'm going to try and take them out from here. You make a run for it and I'll be right behind you."

"You want me to be te one who risks her ass going out there?"

"You are faster than me. Besides, I will be right behind you."

The American and Indian military were defending the base but they saw an opening all though bodies on both sides were dropping. It was a sickening sight to see. In a way it was very similiar to Normandy during World War II. Americans had in recent years employed the idea ofbombing and then invading. An idea that would in theory destroy most of the hostiles and leave only stragglers who the rest of the cleaners would go in and take care of.

The problem with this theory was that all though in the Iraq and Afghanistan war it had reduced the number of US casualties as opposed to World War II or Vietnam, it still also meant that more civilians could and would get killed. The idea was more to minimilize so many needless losses like there had been at D Day. But now it seemed that with this being two advanced armies the US was facing, both of whom had drones of their own, the result was D Day all over again only much worse as all that was different here was that they now had even more different ways to kill or be killed.

He aimed as he saw a drone launch missiles at a Chinese and a Russian plattoon. Those that survived were soon ambushed with rounds from the American and Indian position. Parker aimed firing at the first drone through his scope. He missed with about twenty rounds but he finally hit it and it crashed exploding. He soon fired hitting another. Jessica took off running and he followed after her as they ran down the ridge. The US fired missiles and artillery as they ran. They zigged and zagged trying to avoid the worst of it even as shrapnel and explosions were all around.

They were about twenty five yards out when a blast blindsided Parker and he went flying. He tried to see if he could feel his arms and legs if they had been blown up or not. He felt blood down the side of his face, however. "Parker!" He heard Jessica yell all though his hearing was muffled by the loud ringing. He looked to the side and he saw five Russian soldiers blown apart about fifty feet away from him.

He tried to get up but he felt weak. He collapsed. He saw Jessica's face as she got by his side. He saw somebody coming up behind her but he was unable to talk.

He heard a scream and he knew it to be Jessica.

Jake

He saw Parker go down. He'd also taken out the drones. He rushed forward to finish him and he saw the brunette at his side. He recognized her. He tackled the young woman stabbing her in the back. She cried out in pain falling over. He kicked her aside looking down at Parker to see if he was dead. The Italian insurgent was struggling to stay conscious. "It'll all be over soon, old man."

Parker groaned, "You are...a coward...doing what Wesker says without thinking on your own..."

Jake spotted several Chinese and Russian soldiers approaching from behind. He knew they'd drawn a bead on him. He had no intention of dying at their hands, however. He had a needle grenade much like Carla Radames had used in China. He tossed it back and it went off hitting all of them. They began to turn into the mutations he had witnesses back there. They went after the other soldiers. Jake aimed his pistol at Parker. "I AM Wesker!" He pulled the trigger but he felt a round tear into his left ear. It blew off a chunk of it. He fell over bleeding. He saw he had blown his ear lobe off. He staggered back and fell. Jessica had fired. Jake fell but he fired his Handgun hitting her in the leg.

He fired a second shot at her leg. He tackled her. He began to punch her. She kicked him off of her. She got to her feet and she grabbed her own combat knife swinging the blade at him. He moved out of the way but the blade caught his left cheek with a cut. He head butted her and kicked her in the chest and disarmed her. He took her knife and he brought the blade down onto her right hand. She shrieked. Parker rose to his feet tackling him despite his injuries. He punched him in his bad ear and Jake fell over and Parker's heavy body slammed into him. He body slammed him and he hit him again busting his lip up. Jessica helped him beat Jake. "Let's kill him! Right here!" Yelled Parker. "No! He has to be brought to Chris. He deserves revenge!"

Parker began to choke him snarling, "This is for Keith and Quint!" Jake could feel his blood boiling even as he could not breath. He closed his eyes and focused. He tucked his chin down and pushed his shoulder up for support of the neck. He got free of the grip and he bit Parker's ring and middle finger. He chomped right through both of them biting them both off. Blood sprayed everywhere and the Italian screamed in pain. Jake poked his right eye out and punched him off. As he got Parker off, Jessica kicked him in the chest. He struggled to breathe and she kicked him in the face but he grabbed her leg and pulled her down. He pounced on her and began to brutally pound her head with his fist and after three strikes he slammed her head down twice and she began to bleed. He hit her again three more times and she was bleeding.

She groaned in pain as he took a moment to kick her gun away. "What's...what's your end game?" She asked coughing blood up as she rolled to her side. "You just want to kill Chris...? You don't even believe in this God stuff do you? Forcing the world to change...why are you doing this?"

"You're going to lecture me, Jessica? You were in love with Chris practically and you still betrayed him. What does that say about you? And you shot Parker. At least I never liked Chris. From the moment I met him. I never meant to hurt Sherry."

"You doing this for Sherry? You doing this for you! And yeah...I might have betrayed him. I regret that. But I made up for it. I made sure the BSAA found out about Excella... I tipped the BSAA HQ off. That tip led them to Irving which led them to Excella and then Wesker.I had to do some bad to do a lot of good."

Jake's eyes were filled with rage. "You sent them on the mission that killed Wesker...and my mother!" He began to punch her again, hitting her with four more blows and the blood from the cut on her head bled more. He then noticed two zombies making way towards her. "You know...Keith and Quint fought be as a team too. Two on one isn't really fair. Let's see ow you do..."

He grabbed the two zombies one each by the neck and thrust them towards her. She cried out struglgling to keep them off her.

Parker got to his feet blind in one eye blood pouring from the injury but determined as ever. Jake kicked him in the stomach and punched him in the face but Parker kept coming. He tackled him and he rolled down hill. Jake would not have taken as much damage from this but the large man rolled onto him they rolled on top of each other and Jake's groin was crushed. Parker climbed onto him with his knife. Jake cursed himself for not checking for that. "Why are you trying to kill me and her?"

"She already knows the reason why. You're just another soldier for Chris. If Chris isn't dead I gotta finish him off. And you're in the way of that."

Parker shook his head in disgust. "Your hatred and desire for revenge is clouding your judgement. You'd help a mad man kill the entire world just because Chris accidentally killed your mother? And only by a coincidence!"

Jake told him, "You're about to lose your partner by coincidence then. And it won't be my fault."

"You are just trying to get me to drop my guard," He pinned both of Jake's arms down with his knees. He went to stab him. "Fine. I'm lying. Kill me and afterwards it'll be coincidence and not me. Just remember that, Parker."

He took only a glance and saw that she was indeed struggling with two zombies but she had grabbed her knife. "She can handle them," He said as Jake tried to move he struck him in his bad ear and Jake screamed, "AHHHH! BITCH!"

Parker went to stab him again and Jake started laughing as he looked to the side. Parker noticed what he was looking at. Four carriers that had been soldiers who had been infected by Jake were making way towards Jessica in addition to the zombies. They were J'avo and unlike the strain of the C Virus they had seen in India which had involved Rakshasa, this was just like Edonia and China. They had mutated into Glava-Begunats. "I guess we're both alone! She is fucked!"

Parker got to his feet to go after her and Jake tackled him from behind. "This is why you're going to lose! You didn't just kill me!" He took Parker's knife and stuck in in the left side of his mouth. He fish hooked him ripping from his lips inward into his cheek. "AHHHHH! DANNAZIONE!" He howled. Jake gritted his teeth kicking the large man in the back. As the man hit the ground with a thud, he kicked him in the side and then in the cheek.

Jake sat on his chest. "Addio, Parker. Il vostro dolore รจ quasi finita."

(Goodbye, Parker. Your pain is almost over.)

He stabbed him in his Adams apple and withdrew the blade. He then stood up to see the four mutations about to finish Jessica off. Just then, several rounds were fired and Jake looked to see Chris Redfield, , Jill Valentine, and Sheva Alomar firing at the mutations. They managed to kill them and Chris spotted Jake. Jake retrieve his pistol firing at Chris. Chris dodged the rounds with ease and hit him in the face. He disarmed him and slammed him to the ground. "YOU SON OF A BITCH! WE TRUSTED YOU!" He punched him in the face. Jake spat out a couple of molars just from one punch. Chris punched him two more times. "You broke Sherry's heart! Do you know how many people died because you chose the wrong side?!"

Jake spat blood in his face. "I'd do it all again...you killed my mom, Chris. You don't fucking deserve to be alive either. You deserve to lose the people you care about so that all you have is being a soldier...inviting death..."

"YOU HAVE SHERRY! You also...you have Sherry..."

Jill pulled Chris off saying, "Chris, Sherry woulkdn't want this. When we kill Wesker we can hold Jake accountable for what he did. He's still the father..."

"No! Jill do not tell him about that! He doesn't deserve him or them!" Jake growled, "Yeah, I'm glad I met Sherry.,..but the only reason I became a killer is because of you! Trying to find a cure for my mom."

"You became a killer to try and help her. I would have done the same for Claire. But turning on me? Killing Parker and Keith and Quint they didn't deserve this!"

"Oh who cares about them they weren't somebody important like Jill or Claire or even Sheva. They're expandable. Just like me...just like Piers...you know if it wasn't for your shitty leadersip skills my dad wouldn't have a host to be alive again in, right? That's pretty much your fault too. Stars Team, two BSAA teaams...you're bad luck!"

Chris punched him so hard in the ribs he broke them. Jake coughed up blood. "You don't talk about him like that!And what are you, Jake?! You're a coward! If you wanted to kill me then you should have just done it and left it at that! There's no excuse to join Wesker just for the sake of that do what you know is insane!" Chris then looked at him sideways. "Unless you're afraid of him. You're afraid he would kill you just like he would anybody else. You're afraid of him! That you wouldn't be able to stand on your own against him and us! You're not a real Wesker! A real Wesker wouldn't give a damn about the consequences! But you're not a real Muller either. Your mother would be ashamed of you!"

Jake roared, "FUCK YOU CHRIS!" He swung at the older man but Chris slammed him down and began to choke him. He tried the same trick he'd used on Piers but Chris was too strong with his superhuman strength. Jake closed his eyes anticipating the end. Just then a blinding flash went off as two flashbangs went off. Jake saw the flash trough his eyelids and as he opened his eyes they were somewhat blurry in vision but e saw Chris stagger blindly off of him as did Chris, Jill and Sheva.

Jake looked to see Krauser who helped him to his feet. "Come on, kid. We gotta get the hell outta here."

Chris stumbled on the ground blindly. Jake grabbed his pistol and aimed for his head. "There's no time for that. We gotta go. These idiots will be sure to follow us where we're going anyway. And if they don't, well, i'm sure there'll be time to find them before the launch."

The launch? Jake thought. He took the chance to look at Chris who was struggling to see. He looked at Jessica who had been wounded in her encounter more by the BOW's. "Now you get to lose another person you cared about and then you can talk to me about consequences, Redfield."

Krauser grabbed him and they sped off. Chris and Jill and Sheva finally were able to see again but by that time they were both gone.

When Jake was able to gather his surroundings again, he saw they were in a lab but not the one that the four world powers were fighting over. In fact this seemed to be another part of the mountain entirely. "Where are we?"

"Same place but a different part of it. You know, being a soldier, I got to travel all around the world. Same as you, I imagine. Learned all kinds of interesting facts about people and cultures everywhere. Four religions hold this place as being a holy place. Nobody has ever scaled to the peak of the mountain. But religious pilgrims circumvented this place. They walk around it but they won't go all the way up. Plus the Chinese banned this place to the public. At least as far as going up it. It's funny that two of the four world powers in this fight are countries bordering this place. The Chinese and Indians sure didn';t have a problem fighting here now. Even if it was just to get control of the Family base. Turns out the Chinese don't like that a Family base and a nuclear plant has been existing all this time without them knowing about it. You know they say this mountain has always been radioactive. That's why a lot of tourists who tried climbing it have died. Radiation poisoning they say...but guys like me and your dad, even you have much stronger immune systems."

"What is dad planning? And if he cares about me why didn't he come and get me himself? He kept sending me to kill those people and he'd help me when I'd get wounded but I wouldn't have gotten wounded if I didn't have to do it."

"It's a little late for complaining now don't you think? You're a soldier same as me. We both have our orders but you've got one hell of a dad. The man's a genuis. He transcended death. In war I stopped believing in any God. War makes you question it but after seeing what he's capable of, miracles of science, the ability to bring people back, I'd say he's earned the right to call himself a God. You might too."

"What about being human?"

"What about it? It's flawed. They're so fragile. Even Chris wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the virus. We're the next stages of evolution. Why be a human when you can be a God? To build a new world the old one has to die. It might be ugly but the reward will be worth it. And as for your father, he may not have come this time but who do you think sent me? He'll let you deal with Chris when the time comes just like he promised to let me have Leon and Ada. If nothing else, he's a man of his word."

"And he wants Jill and Sheva..."

"He'll kill the younger one. Probably Claire too. That was his plan. Jill he might try and convince to come back to him. They do have a daughter together. Your half sister if i'm not mistaken."

"Yeah..I guess..."

"You can probably still get Sherry back too. I wouldn't worry too much about her."

"Krauser...if he was able to come back from the dead and Alexia and Excella and Alfred, you, Chris, do you think...do you think he could bring my mom back?"

"I don't know. It's a long shot but it's probably worth it to ask him. If anybody could do it, it'd be him."

"All right. What now?"

"Now we go meet your father. As far as I know there's no other way in the base. The real base, I mean. That base they're all attacking out there isn't the real Family facility. It always was a nuclear facility though and it is connected to the Family base. But there would be no way for Chris and the others to get inside the base without four keys. There's a secret entrance to the lab at the peak of the mountain. Luckily it's difficult if not impossible for a regular human to get there."

"Chris could..." Jake warned.

"Yeah, he could but like I said, he would need four keys. I have one. This other woman, that has been largely out of the picture in this thing but who nonetheless is part of it has one. But she's halfway around the world. Reagan has one too. And you have one. But you don't need it. Wesker can let us in from inside. Thats the only other way without the keys. The base isn't just a Family facility. It's got a bunker in there that will protect us from the worst of what's to come. You got supirior DNA fit for the new world but for a while the world will be uninhabitable even for somebody like you. We'll have to wait a few years for evolution to sort everything out but let's just say China and India will catch the worst of it. It's needed being the two largest populated countries even after all the outbreaks. The US and the rest of the world won't escape it either. The last key...is yours."

Jack handed him a stone tablet. It had an image of a lotus on it.

"All right...but if the only way in is to be let in or have the keys then how'd he get inside? Even if he could scale the mountain top with his abilities?"

"He's got staff there to let him in. Now we're wasting time. Let's go."

Chris

He knelt in front of Jessica who had been bitten by one of the zombies. "Jessica...I'm sorry...I wish I would have gotten here sooner..."

"It's okay... I'm sorry..I betrayed you and the BSAA those years ago..."

"It's water under the bridge, Jessica...you've more than made up for it..."

"He told me I caused the death of his mother too..by leading you all to Wesker.."

"He's just making excuses for all he's done."

Claire arrived behind them. Their children were still hiding in a safer part of the Himalayas. Claire had insisted upon Steve staying behind this time to watch out for the children. He had killed Alexia Ashford and she didn't want to lose him again. There was more than enough of them to go after Wesker. Leon and Ada would also be here soon as well as they were going to enter the Family base as well. They were all in. Sherry was back there too.

"Well...it still..hit home. I'm sorry..I once was concerned about whether you trusted me or not and...I was selfish. I admit..I liked you..when I couldn't and I realized you and Jill...well..me and Parker..." A tear formed in her eyes as she looked at her dead partner's body. "Chris, you have to finish me off. Jake got me bitten."

"I can't do that, Jessica. I don't need to. There's a cure now. There has been for years..."

"Do you have one on you?" She asked with a sad chuckle. He couldn't answer her. "Please, Chris. We all have to pay for what we've done. If there is a God, I'd like to think I can be forgiven now but...that also means I gotta pay the price. If giving my life can serve any purpose...it's that we stopped Wesker. A second time. Hopefully for the last time..."

Chris had tears in his eyes. "I can't...I forgive you, Jessica and I trust you."

"I know...but I don't want to come back as one of those things."

Jill aimed her pistol at Jessica. "It's okay..I'll do it."

Chris took the pistol closing his eyes. He aimed at Jessica. "I'm sorry..."

She smiled. "Me too..."

Meanwhile

Albert saw Jake and Krauser coming in. "Ahhh..you made it. I assume the other two have been dealt with?"

Jake nodded. "I killed Parker...Jessica was bitten. They'll have to put her down."

"Quite clever," Wesker said with a smirk. Krauser held up the piece of Jake's ear he lost. "We better put this on ice,"

"Of course. But before I tend to your wounds, I thought I should show you your reward for such good work."

He took him over to a monitor and showed him an image of Sherry who was inside a cell located inside the base. "We'll tend to your wounds first. You'll want to be more prepared the next time we face Chris. But it seems as though your reunion with Sherry will be possible after all. She was on her way to attack the base the same as the rest of them but my men intercepted her. She was not happy to see the old friend of her father William. But perhaps she will be to see you."

Billy

He and Rebecca and Reggie had managed to take out all of the remaining soldiers except Reagan. They came around the corner and a smoke grenade was waiting for the,m. They began to choke and tried to get away from it. That was when Reagan made his move. He fired his Sig striking Rebecca in the side of the face. Billy cried out, "Rebecca! God no! HANG ON PRINCESS!" He cried out. Her eyes rolled as she was dizzy and he couldn't tell how bad the wound was but she was bleeding and blood caked the side of her head and her hair on her right temple. His heart beat as he feared the worst. "Come on Becky...stay with me...please...I need you...I can't live without you..."

Reagan sneered, "Then you're not much of a soldier."

Reggie tackled the older man striking him in the face and went to bring his Rifle up to shoot him but Reagan was faster on the draw with his pistol. He fired a headshot striking Reggie in the center of it. The black Marine went down his head surrounded bu a pool of blood. "Well now the woman you love and who helped you escape is gone and your best friend is too. What are you gonna do about it, soldier?"

He tossed the pistol aside, inviting the challenge. Billy roared with rage charging into the older man.

That's all for this chapter. I know it was a darker one and there's still a few more character deaths coming. So now it looks like Jessica is surely doomed as Chris is about to put her down. Parker is dead for sure but before Chris does there will be one more flashback with Jessica.

As for Sherry didn't see that coming did you?

So Mount Kailash like i said is holy to four major religions, Bon, Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism. Many religious pilgrims have walked the thirty two miles around it but few if any have ever gone to the top there is no evidence any ever has. None of the four religions think it should be done however there is a belief among the locals of the Himalayas that believe that only a person without sin can go to the top but that they wouldn't need to scale the ice sheets they could just become a bird and fly there. And that's a theme the next chapter will touch up on.

I doubt anybody cared Reggie died and some of you did not play Resident Evil Revelations 1 such as Harbinger whic makes me wonder if you'veplayed Rev 2 and if so why have you played that and not 1 im not saying that is the case but if it is the case that is my question if you haven't, disregard. Anyway, what Jake was saying about how it wouldn't matter that Parker and Jessica die that's kind of a reference to how whether you played the Revelations games or not nobody would care as much if they died or Quint or Keith died as they would Jill or Claire but Chris does care about his team mates. He just sucks at saving them.

You know, Billy and Rebecca if they were in a newer Resident Evil game I don';t know who they could have as a villain unless they just made a new character up which RE does do but I thought shouldn't the guy who condemned Billy to death in RE zero be a villain in one of the games if he ever comes back?

Also next chapter Carlos will be there I know he was in South America and that is where he has been the last several years with the ALF fighting the governments there but also the Family but let's just say without spoilers, he has one of the four keys. He basically had to torture some Family agents and maybe some CIA agents too to get the information about it and what they were planning at the mountain plus a bigger obstacle and for the most part aside from him bringing this key to Chris and co. how he got the key and who he got it from pretty much brings the story of Carlos to a close as far as his part is mostly over. I'm not saying hell die I'm not saying he won't but you know, I mean Leon and Ada need to get one key from Krauser, Billy needs to get one from Reagan, obviously somebody presumably Chris but maybe not, will need to get Jake's.

So Carlos has the last one. Basically the bigger final battles will involve Chris, Jill, Sheva, Ada and Leon. Fighting Wesker and Krauser respectively but I still wanted the characters who won't necessarily have a major canon villains contribution to still be vital to this mission so that everyone has contributed.

But deaths are still coming speaking of which do you think Rebecca is dead? Anyway, that's it for now. And just because there is a final battle coming up and more good guys will die doesn't mean there isn't time for one more lemon. Though probably either once the war is over or in a flashback cause honestly I did have an idea too that was suggested to me by one reviewer so my idea is how to implement that.

Anyway this was a short chapter but longer than some of the last few. Also that symbol Jake was given on his key was a symbol specific to the Bon religion.

Anyway that's it for this chapter we are almost done. It is Thanks Taking and i am on a fast because I do not celebrate that bullshit I would be a sellout if I did but I have a headache and wanted to get this chapter up.

Hope you're enjoying thank you to my followers. Once this story is done I can focus more on other RE stories that have been delayed.

Later
