Scott stands by the boat, Helena behind him, unconscious against it. The two creatures stand a few yards away from them. Both sides wait for each other to make the next move. Suddenly, the creatures look up towards the top of the boat and begin backing away. Scott isn't sure what they're worried about, until he looks up to see another creature. It's eyes a dark red, looking down on him. The creature begins moving boards on top of the ship down towards the beach, making a platform to get down. As it gets off, it begins walking towards him, showing no fear or worry. Scott is about to let loose, but as it gets closer, he could see it in more detail. It's an adolescent girl, with long silver hair, wearing only a plain white gown. As she gets closer, he can see her extended belly, like a pregnant woman's. Scott stands there, doing nothing as she kneels down in front of Helena. Helena begins to stir. She opens her eyes to see the girl, face to face. For all she knew, she was probably out cold, dreaming this up, but it was all too real.
Suddenly, Dylon and Jacob jump out from the forest. They stand in between the two groups for a while, thinking a fight was about to break out. The girl calls to Jacob in a calming voice, like nothing is wrong. "Jacob, is that you? I can't see far."
He turns and rushes to her side, taking her hand and slowly leading her to the other side of the boat, away from the others. The two creatures abandon the group to join them, leaving Dylon, Scott, and Helena in confusion. Dylon starts walking over the to the group, seeing the two creatures huddled around Jacob and the girl. He can hear him speak to her clearly. "Sen, I told you to wait on the boat, it's not safe yet."
The girl turns to see Dylon, barely a few feet away from them before turning back to Jacob. "I didn't hear anymore fighting. So I thought it was safe."
"Please, next time just wait for me to get you. I worry you know." He holds her hands clutched in his own. She plants a kiss on his cheek before looking back at Dylon. "Who's that?"
Jacob turns to see his 'brother' standing behind the larger creature. "Excuse me?" he says, releasing her hands and walking towards Dylon. "Is there a house or something, so we can talk."
"Y-yes, my home is a short distance away, follow me."
"Okay, but let me get everyone ready first."
Jacob jumps back onto the boat for a while before walking out with another adolescent girl. Her skin was a dark gray, different areas of her body covered in plants, even her hair looked like leaves. On her back, a strange growth protruded, like a backpack. They jump down with ease. They, along with the two creatures and the girl, follow Dylon. Scott is in the back of the group, helping Helena keep up.
As they get closer to the mansion, Scott and Helena can see the two creatures more clearly. The large creature was a male, his eyes and most of his head are covered by a medieval helmet. He wore an armored vest, leather pants, and gauntlets concealing large blades each. On his back, a strange growth riggles, healed from the damage inflicted onto it. The other was another girl, younger than the other two. Her hair was short, pale-yellow. She appears to have six insect-like eyes, two large ones, two smaller pairs along each side of her head. Her body is a bizarre mix of human-like attributes with insect-like limbs. She has two pairs of arms, one large pair with three clawed fingers, the other pair smaller, located closer to her ribs. Small wings and strange antenne sprout from her back, and her lower jaw had a divide in the middle, appearing to be able to separate and open.
In all honesty, Helena wasn't sure about these people. Then again, her new family aren't too normal either. As long as Dylon trusts them, she does too. After their arrival, Dylon opens the door to be greeted by Deborah, who was worried sick. She hugs him for about a minute or two before realizing the people he brought. She whispers something in his ear. He gives a reassuring nod before letting go and escorting them in. After some explanations, most of it becomes clear. Jacob and Sen, along with Alexia, Gregore, and Lotus, were traveling across most of the world. About a day ago, Jacob had a strange feeling, something guiding him in the direction of the island without even knowing it. Once they landed, they felt the presence of other beings, and with their experience, they decided to fight before any communication could be made. As far as anyone know and care, Jacob and Dylon are brothers. Sen is Jacob's beloved, pregnant with, what they could guess, two babies. Also, from their home, a rural village in the remote forests of Europe, they are seen as rulers. Jacob explains that Sen once had a form of "immature queen-plaga", which was removed, do to adverse side-effects on her. However, she still carries, and produces, a great number of plaga parasites, along with dominant-strain plagas. Do to their mutations, Jacob and Alexia were immune to any plaga, meaning no risk of infestation.
After their encounter with a man named Wesker, they returned to the village. The people no longer feared her, instead, saw her and Jacob as the king and queen of the land. They, along with Alex and a man named Ruven, made the place their new home. On their exploration of the land and the island lab, they discovered early prototypes of the creatures. Men, women, and children, all deformed and most dead, with Gregore and Lotus the only survivors of the experiments. Both were in cryogenic storage, and once released, saw Sen as queen also.
As years went, they grew fond of the people, Jacob even mentioned Ruvens attempt of training any remaining Militia. Dylon wanted to ask where this Ruven was, but rather waited for him to finish. Jacob says they spend much of their time traveling the world, anything to make his queen happy. Their travels brought them to Dylon's home and, you know the rest.
After the story, Jacob asks if Dylon has any spare rooms, which was obvious now. He escorts Sen to the largest room he could find. She rests in the bed, Gregore and Lotus standing by her side. Dylon knows she would be safe and left the room. He goes to his medical herd room, Helena sits on the table with Scott and Piers and her side, tending to her injuries.
"How is she?" Dylon asks.
"She's fine," Piers replies, "a few bruises and scrapes, nothing serious. All she needs is some rest."
Without warning, Jacob walks in behind Dylon and is amazed by the types of herbs he had. "Wow, interesting medicine, and natural too."
Dylon replies "Well, it's not that natural. I create serums from modern medicine and feed that to the plants."
"Still nice though."
Jacob looks pass Dylon and notices Piers and Scott, along with their mutations. He looks back to Dylon. "I see you have others here, that's nice of you, playing grounds keeper or something?" he says, nudging Dylon in the arm with his elbow. Dylon blinks in surprise. "You're very… peculiar, but I'm glad he finally meet you 'brother'."
"Same here, 'hermano'." Jacob replies.
They both laugh a little before walking out, leaving the two soldiers to watch over Helena. "He seems nice." Scott says. "You think they're really brothers?."
Piers replied, "Well with that face, it's hard to say no."
They both chuckle and stay silent for a few seconds before Scott adds "Captain Piers, why was Lisa on top of you?"
Piers gives no response, Leaving Scott to answer that. "That was stupid to ask now, wasn't it?"
As Dylon is escorting Jacob to his room, Jacob feels something on his back. He looks back to see Maya clinging on to him, where did she come from? He reaches around to grab her and holds her in front of him. "You not daddy," she says.
"Okay," Jacob says confused, "What are you?"
She frees herself from his grip and pulls on her father's leg. "Daddy, who he?"
Dylon gives a playful smile before picking her up and holding her in his right arm. "Sweety, this is my brother, he's family." He steps closer to Jacob, close enough for Maya to reach him with her hands. "Brother?... Aunty!" she says, trying to hug Jacob, who is annoyed a little. Dylon puts her down so she could hug her "Aunty".
"Actually...uh…" Jacob says, not knowing her name.
"Maya," she says, pointing at herself.
Jacob continues, "Maya, that's what you call your parent's sister. A brother is an 'uncle', okay?"
She thinks for a moment before saying "Uncle!" while hugging him again. Jacob begins to feel happy, as if an interesting grin on his face.
"Jacob," Dylon asks, "what's with the smile?"
"Oh," he replies, "I'm just thinking. Soon I will have an ankle hugger like this."
Dylon realizes that Jacob is referring to Sen, who appears to be close to childbirth. Dylon ponders at the thought of his children. With Deborah and himself, it was somewhat clear what their children would be like. However, Sen isn't a viral Bio-Sentient, she's parasitic. None of that would matter though, no matter the result, he knows Jacob would be joyed by the sight of his children.
A thought pops in Dylon's head. "Jacob, I was meaning to ask. Who is Ruven?"
Jacob looks to his brother and remembers he never explained who Ruven was, or Alex exactly. They head towards the library where Jacob explains to Dylon.
"Ruven was, literally, the first person I met. He was an experiment, locked away, after years of tests, just left to die. I don't know why I did what I did at the time, but I saved him with a serum my body produces, which reacted with the virus in him. The resulting mutations were enhanced strength, speed, size, intelligence, and regenerative abilities."
Dylon couldn't believe how his brother, at the first hours of life, would want to help Ruven. However, he thought to himself, if he saw someone like him just rotting away, he would help too.
Jacob continues. "After we escaped, we traveled to world, either doing what I wanted or what he wanted. In his case, hunting down and killing those involved with the people or corporation that did this to him. Years later, we met Sen and Alex, who were also in the same predicament. Once they were free like us, we lived a life like a family, helping each other, caring for each other, protecting each other, one big, happy, bizarre, and slightly psychotic family. Although, I think dealing with three kids took its toll on Ruven. I hope that answers your question."
"One last thing," Dylon replies, "what happened to Ruven, where is he?"
"Well," Jacob answers, "he's somewhere out there. We would separate from time to time, less than a day. I don't know what's keeping him, but trust me, he will be here soon."
