"Ugh….I feel like shit….." Vanny said.
The blonde just finished throwing up into a toilet in her private bathroom connected off her bedroom. The bedroom was based off William's daughter Elizabeth's old bedroom. Similar looking old toys, belongings and stuffed animals of course were present and the same bright colored walls were accurate as well.
Vanny was now wearing a white t-shirt and white pajamas with pink rabbits on it. She felt feverish, and felt as if she lost all her strength. Her HUD within her eyes told her, her body temperature was 100 degrees.
She got up from the toilet, flushed it, and washed her hands, making her way back into her bedroom. She sat on the bed puzzled at how she got sick so quickly. She couldn't go to a hospital, she would get arrested on the spot, since every cop and government agent knows who she is, besides William would not allow it, himself knowing those circumstances.
"Guess I'm headed down into the lab…Maybe Eclipse can do something for me…" She said to herself.
Vanny knew the labs had high tech and state of the art medical equipment. They could do anything a hospital was capable of doing, surgeries included.
William knocked on the door to her room.
"Come in…." She said laying back on the bed.
"I was coming in to check on you." William said opening the door, his voice soft and calm. Vanny was shocked, it's almost as if his old fatherly instincts were actually kicking in. For once, he was genuinely concerned for her. Surprising since she doesn't consider him a father, more like a colleague or business partner.
Maybe it's because I look and sound like her….. She thought.
"I appreciate it. Just a little bit under the weather. I was about to go head down to the lab to find out what's going on. I thought my enhancements were to make me stronger…not feel like I just hit by a truck." Vanny said.
"Perhaps a visit to the lab is in order. I will inform Eclipse you will be on your way, I shall accompany you." William said.
"Thanks William, but I think I'll be fine." Vanny stumbled as she got off her bed.
"You were saying?" William said.
"Fine." Vanny put one of her arms around him to keep herself up. She was so weak she could barely stand now.
What the hell is happening to me….? She thought.
"Okay, here we go." William walked with her to the basement of the mansion.
Afton Mansion B1
3:45 AM
Cue Theme: Resident Evil 2 OST - The Marshalling Yard – The First Half
The basement looked like a normal home basement until a steel door connected to a labyrinth of clean looking industrial utility tunnels and storage areas, lit by green led lighting strips, the lighting was reminiscent of the Pizzaplex's lighting in some of it's tunnels. Pallet's full of boxes of equipment, computer gear and research items were shrink wrapped like they were just delivered. It made sense, there was a loading dock in back of the mansion that connected to the basement of the home.
They walked until they were in front of an industrial elevator.
William pulled out his ID badge and waved it in front of the card reader next to the elevator. It accepted his card and the elevator doors opened into a large clean elevator.
"Would the enhancements do this?" Vanny asked as William kept her steady.
"No, it shouldn't be possible. We meticulously program our nanomachines to never harm healthy cells in the body." William said.
They walked in together and the doors closed as William pressed a button for the B3 level of the laboratory.
"Wait I thought we were going to B5? That's where Eclipse's lab is?" Vanny asked.
"We just need to make a quick stop on B3, I promise it's quick." William said.
"Stop for what?" Vanny asked.
"Extra hands in case we need to carry you to Eclipse's area. I've already informed staff." William said.
"Well if I get there sooner, maybe I won't be at that point, ha." Vanny laughed trying to make light of the moment. But admittedly she was scared of whatever was happening to her enhanced body.
Underground Laboratory B3 – Security Operations Center – Lobby
Cue Theme: Resident Evil 2 OST – The Underground Laboratory
The doors opened to B3, and Vanny was expecting more medical and research staff to board the elevator, but was shocked to see two Afton Security Force members fully decked out in their tactical equipment with H & K MP5A2 Sub-Machine guns in hand.
"William I thought more medical staff were coming…." Vanny said with worry.
"Don't worry, these guards are just coming with us to B5, since they have an assignment there, nothing to worry about." William said softly.
The elevator continued along with William helping Vanny stay upright. Vanny was able to take a brief break and lean on a railing instead while they all waited for the elevator to reach B5.
Underground Laboratory B5
They reached B5, making their way down the hall, while William continued to help Vanny walk. Her chills were getting worse, she was shivering.
"William, I'm….so cold…." Vanny said.
"We're almost there." William said.
They made their way into Eclipse's lab, going past the clear glass doors into his research wing.
Staff could be seen working in the background at their stations.
Eclipse nodded at them as he saw Vanny coming in, and they nodded leaving the area.
Vanny found it strange. Her HUD was going off telling her, behavior patterns in the body language of the staff was suspicious.
Maybe she should have snuck out to a hospital.
"There we go." William said as he put her in a wheelchair that was nearby.
"Eclipse….What's happening to me? This doesn't feel like any normal stomach virus I could have randomly caught while I've been going out more." Vanny asked.
The Afton Security personnel were behind them locking the doors.
"Hahahahaha." Eclipse laughed.
Cue Theme: Resident Evil Remake – Weskers Master Plan
"You stupid girl." Eclipse said adjusting his tie.
"Why you…." Vanny said, trying to get up but she couldn't.
"Oh…I'm sorry, you probably want to get out of that chair and rip the circuits out of my chest. Well, I can assure you, that won't be happening. Not with what is flowing through your veins as we speak. Looks like the symptoms have finally started. It's incubated quite well." Eclipse said.
"William what is he talking about?" Vanny asked.
William looked away, he knew if he looked all he would see his daughter Elizabeth and his granddaughter Vanessa. He had to be firm this time. He was trying to convince himself, this was the best for his plans. Eclipse and Jason assured him.
Just remember….she's just a clone right? Just stick to the plan. After the deed is done, we take off, don't think about it, you'll see your real daughter and granddaughter soon. Everything has already been loaded onto the planes. We already have what we needed from the Nightmare animatronics….no need to keep them in statis anymore….. William thought.
"William! Please say something!" Vanny pleaded as she started coughing. She just coughed blood into her hand.
"I'm sorry Vanny, I will miss our time together, but I need to do this for my family." William said walking out. His guards let him leave, locking the door behind him.
I need to go get Evan, Michael and Clara now…. Wiliam said.
"I need to go see that gator before I leave. The others will catch up. We all know where we are going next. This lab served it's purpose, no need for it or the staff anymore." William said to himself.
"William!" Vanny cried out.
"Looks like it's just us now. I guess he…truly never cared about you at all. But don't worry, I still value you as a test subject. I'll make sure the data gathered on you, does not go to waste." Eclipse said.
"Go fuck yourself…." Vanny spat.
"I'll have you know I'm ace. So I won't even be doing that. I am flattered though." Eclipse said coldly.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!" Vanny yelled loudly.
"Well I did give you the enhancements you were promised…..but I snuck in something a little extra. You see Jason and I gave you a little virus of ours we wanted to test. We engineered it ourselves. Bio-weapons are the new hotness today, robots are kind of last year. But wow, changing a living organism's DNA, now that is worth investing into. So many bidders on the black market would eat that up. I mean…Jason is more into the money, I just enjoy my research." Eclipse said.
"You fucker…and what do you mean Jason? I killed him when I was taking over Silver Parasol." Vanny said.
"I am very much alive." Jason said walking smoothly around the corner, in his Faux Glamrock Foxy body.
"Faux…Foxy?" Vanny said.
"I don't go by that name, that's just a character. C'mon Vanny, you know who I am. After all, I'm sure you don't forget the voice of people you sleep with." Jason said.
"No way. No way. The report….Luis said it was a brain from a 52 year old man off the street….he never said you were the donor put into that body….." Vanny was now afraid.
"I'm so glad you remembered my voice. So. I helped you come back to life, I gave you anything you ever wanted, I helped you bring your master back one more time along with his pathetic family. And you repay me by putting a bullet into my head." Jason said.
"You….you were going to die Jason….your body didn't have much longer after the team saved you from the rubble of the lab. Sure they kept you alive with some remnant injections but even those were starting to fail. I had to end your suffering. Please know….I did it so you wouldn't suffer." Vanny pleaded.
"Never bullshit a bullshitter Vanny. That bullet sure as hell didn't seem like ending my suffering." Jason said.
"Jason please…" Vanny said.
"It doesn't matter. We have the data we need, just need to perfect the viron more so it can survive long enough to be aerosolized. Who knew we could produce the effects of radiation sickness without radiation. DNA damage does funny things to the body." Jason said.
"You son of a…." Vanny said before Jason nodded at the guards. Vanny knew what was coming.
Both guards were now in front of her with Eclipse and Jason behind them. They aimed their weapons at her.
"Well Vanny I just wanted to watch you die. Just as you watched me die. Any last words?" Jason said.
"Go fuck your…." Vanny couldn't finish before a hail of gunfire tore through her chest.
"Now were even." Jason said.
"So you have the data?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, I have all of it. Let's go pick up Funtime Freddy and torch this lab." Eclipse said.
"Well…let's have a little fun on the way out." Jason said.
"What do you mean?" Eclipse said.
"Release the nightmare animatronics from their storage containers. Let's collect the combat data remotely." Jason said.
"I like the way you think…You remind me of myself." Eclipse said.
"Oh there is a lot more we can accomplish together. Let's go." Jason said as they walked by Vanny.
"Dump her. I don't care how, but dump her before staff find her." Eclipse said to the guards as he left his lab for good.
The two men, Jack and John went to walk up to her before John received a phone call from his wife. Jack proceeded without him, walking up to Vanny, who was limp in the wheelchair.
Her eyes opened.
"What the hell!?" Jack jumped back lifting his weapon again.
Vanny got out of the chair, still with holes in her chest.
Before the man could scream she shot a tentacle out of her right hand right through his face, completely obliterating the inside of his cranium.
John dropped his phone and raised his weapon firing at Vanny but her bullet wounds were starting to heal. She emitted a loud thundering roar like a vicious predatory monster, her left hand and forearm becoming covered in spikes made of bone as they protruded through her skin as growths. She bludgeoned his head with one overhead swing of her new organic weapon, the force of it crushing his head, splitting it into pieces.
The roars could be heard by other staff.
