Alright and here's part two for you. Hope everyone enjoys. This was done in honor of the RE2 remake. It was definitely enjoyable to me, and I hope to see a remake of RE3 in the future. Just to make it clear again, some events are skewed due to Riley's involvement and some things are changed because of it, I hope this doesn't cause too much of a headaches for anyone. Hope everyone enjoys.

Broken Angel: Rising Demon

Chapter 5: Hunting for monsters

-Raccoon City, USA. September 25th 1998-

"You see anything." Kiba inquired. By his side was Neji who was using his Byakugan to scan the Raccoon City Police Department for any signs of Sherry Birkin. The last twenty-four hours had seen a sharp rise in the pandemic. Zombies filled the streets, and various BOWs were suddenly appearing, as if they had been released for some unknown purpose.

Wesker and William Birkin both believed that these BOWs were not natural, and did not belong to the NEST or it's affiliated research centers. Instead they both suspected that this was the result of Umbrella using this opportunity to unleash more Bioweapons in the city so that they could gauge their effectiveness against combatants such as the police.

"Yes. I see a small child hiding within a back room on the upper floor. She looks around the right age." Neji responded.

"Sweet. Alright then lets check it out." Kiba responded as he and Akamaru moved to sneak into the building.

Elsewhere in the city, Riley directed a handful of civilians towards the Raccoon City Zoo, where the US military had set up an extraction point to fly people out of the city.

The Legion had yet to receive the green light to begin actively assisting people, so Riley was out of the uniform, and had altered her appearance to look nothing like her true self. If the Legion was spotted here, it would cause problems, if Riley was spotted here, it would be a whole lot worse. Just like with Gaia during the Triwizard Tournament, it was required by Riley's host nation to inform the ICW as to where she was, and where she was going. As a Jinchuriki, she was technically a weapon of mass destruction, and the ICW didn't like not knowing exactly where she was. The US government, both magical and muggle, would not take kindly to her being here without their consent so she kept her power in check and kept from being recognized.

It was for this exact reason that she was restraining herself, when dealing with the zombies. If they were allowed here, Riley could have easily unleashed a massive army of clones to fight the zombies and eradicate them. Sadly, politics were involved, and with Daphne, and Itachi both now tied to the British Government, and thus tied to the fallout if Riley were found to be somewhere she shouldn't be, because of that, Riley chose to keep herself in check.

The civilian casualties were of little bother. Much like with many other places, Riley didn't openly enjoy their suffering despite finding the chaos and carnage delightful to her demonic senses. Sadly for the people of this city, Riley didn't know them, and thus cared very little for them. She was helping them now to the best of her abilities while preventing any issues for her own allies, but that had more to do with the simple fact that it had been asked of her by Itachi, then due to any moral imperative.

As far as Riley was concerned, this all fell on Umbrella. Every innocent person that died here, every loss, it was all their fault. But beyond that… Riley simply felt no urgency to protect these people. It was so strange. It had been well over a year now since the Fourth Great Ninja War, and thus it had been a while since Riley had endured a large scale conflict such as this. Engrossing herself in the chaos and carnage once more, she found that it was washed over her without causing much concern. The screams of the dying drew little urgency from her, and in most cases, Riley was either bored or simply curious.

A detached part of herself knew that these feelings had to do with her demonic nature. These people weren't her friends or her allies, and this wasn't her home, so she was almost completely detached from it. Getting herself to care for the brief existence of people she didn't know was becoming more of a trial, the more time that passed.

It was honestly very concerning to her as she thought about it. How little she cared about the situation, when she was detached from it. The War had been personal, and it had led to the whole world being in danger, and thus it needed to be Riley's focus, and she needed to care about it. This was something else though, something so much lesser in her eyes.

A small part of Riley, that had always been there, scolding her for doing wrong, and embracing her demonic instincts, once again reared its head to once more scold her for not treating this with the same urgency. Riley knew she should. She knew she should care, she simply didn't. Or more specifically, she simply didn't care that much. She was asked to do this, so she would. But this whole situation she treated with the same level of detachment she did when she went out to satiate her bloodlust by killing criminals. Just another day.

"It's hard to give a damn about people you don't know and who's lives don't affect yours." Kurama hummed, earning a mental nod of agreement from Riley.

"I hate how little this is getting from me. I wish I were more affected but I just can't seem to force myself to feel for these people. Was I always like this? This feels new." Riley responded with an internal growl.

"Hmm… you know now that you mention it, I'm not actually sure. Outside of those back in Britain, I've never really cared at all about humans. This is nothing more then a delightful little show to me. Sad really, I know father would disapprove, just as I'm sure your mates wouldn't be too happy to know you're so bored." Kurama responded to her.

"They are detached from us. They are nothing but insects. Not our allies. Not our family. They are little people, with no hope left in the world. They cry out for a hero, and the worlds send an apathetic demon. These foes are weak, and yet still these little people fall to them. Are their lives truly worth anything? If they died, what would be lost other then sheep?"The Darkness inquired.

Riley came to a pause in the middle of a street. A curious look on her face. To hide her appearance, she had stuck to utilizing a handgun to fell the undead hordes. On occasion when a larger mutated creature would appear Riley would channel a bit of Wind magic into a bullet and she would watch as the bullet tore through the beast, like it wasn't even there.

Occasionally Riley would feel a rush when she'd pull the trigger and a bullet with just a tad bit of wind magic would rush forward into a crowd of zombies and cut through a dozen of them before stopping, sending blood spraying through the air, and on occasion, limbs would be severed as well. It was that modicum of excitement that Riley knew would lead her to getting caught if anyone saw her do it.

Despite taking the appearance of a blonde, middle aged woman, the bloodlust on her face would have tipped off keener minds that something wasn't right.

"He's right you know. You only worry about the world and the people in it, when it's your loved ones who are at risk." Kurama said to her.

"And I know it's wrong. When the whole world was in danger, I moved heaven and earth to keep it safe. With Luna's prophecy and the Day of Wrath, I can't help but be so focused on stopping them. Yet here we are, a hundred thousand people on the chopping block, and I'm fighting to stop myself from yawning. Remind me again why I don't unleash my powers and slaughter all of these undead fucks?" Riley responded.

"Well… the long answer is that if you do that, every magical in the country, sensor or not, will know you're here, and then there will be a hellstorm back in Britain which will lead to a major headache for yourself, Itachi, Daphne, Arturia, Lucius, the Wizengamot, the ministry itself, maybe even the British Muggle government. The short answer is that it would just be a headache, and you're only here because it was asked of you." Kurama answered, earning a snort from Riley.

"I need something. I need to do something that gives this a purpose. Saving people should be it's own reward, but I don't care enough about these poor bastards. Maybe I should just go get my mates. If they were here, I know I'd actually be trying." Riley suggested, once again sighing.

"You're not a hero Riley. Despite what others think of you. You'll do what's right, because it needs to be done, but that doesn't mean you have to like it, or enjoy it. Sadly if you hadn't absorbed Ralael you could have just used that disguise to ends this in a heartbeat." The fox said to her.

"You may not be able to run free… but they can." The Darkness whispered, as it pushed forward an idea into her mind. Riley saw an image of her familiars flash through her mind and for a second she became thoughtful.

"A testing ground?" Riley mused as she gazed up at the sky. For a few seconds she was quiet, then she suddenly smirked and flashed through handsigns.

A poof of smoke filled the air as she summoned for Skorge.

"Hello my wonderful servant." Riley greeted as the demon dropped to a knee and bowed to her.

"There are undead that need slaying and plenty of carnage to be had. Focus on clearing the way for civilians. I want to see what you can really do when you let loose." Riley commanded earning a nod from the beast.

He quickly rose to his feet and summoned forth his chainsaw staff. With a wild howl the demonic familiar rushed forward into a crowd of zombies, the buzzing of twin chainsaws drowning out their moans as Skorge cut through them.

Riley smirked as she watched it happen, finding enjoyment in using this as an opportunity to test her familiar.

"We found the Birkin girl. She was hiding in the police station." Kiba reported through the Gravemind. "We'll be taking her down to the NEST, and we'll be ready to evacuate the VIPs in short order."

Riley let out a sigh at hearing that. She glanced up towards the sky for several long moments before turning back to watching Skorge. The others could finish their work and leave. She'd stay behind and get more people out of the city.

Several hours later, Riley was now with Kabuto and Wesker. After getting the Birkins, along with the rest of the NEST scientists out of the city and to a safe location in the mountains, as well as flooding the NEST with acid, the two men returned to observe the effects of the outbreak and to find out what Riley was doing, both finding her actions to a be a source of immense curiosity.

They eventually tracked her down while she was watching over Skorge gutting a handful of Licker type BOWs.

Riley allowed the two to join her as she continued to conduct her tests, pitting her champion against the various bioweapons, all the while sending civilian survivors to the Raccoon city zoo where supposedly the military was still evacuating them.

Just after 9 pm, the trio came across and interesting sight. A massive man in an overcoat with gray skin.

"What is it?" Riley inquired from where they knelt, overlooking the street. Skorge had already stepped out in front of the creature drawing it's attention and approaching it with vicious intent.

"Tyrant model T-103. A mass produced variant. None were present in the NEST though. This one being here furthers my suspicions that Umbrella is deploying it's weapons to test them in live combat scenarios." Wesker noted, as his eyes narrowed.

Riley stared down at the towering BOW. It stood at nearly nine feet tall, nearly two full feet taller then Skorge. It was heavily muscled, and had this cold dead look, plastered on it's face. It made it's way towards Skorge, identifying the demon as a threat.

"If they're deploying weapons to study their effects, then someone has to be nearby to monitor what's going on." Riley thought to herself as she activated her Byakugan, causing the Tenseigan to also manifest in her eyes.

Riley had yet to discover a way to differentiate the two. She couldn't activate the Tenseigan's powers which caused the glowing floral pattern to appear beneath the ripple pattern in her Rinne Sharingan, without activating the Byakugan, which caused her pupil to turn white and the veins around her eyes to bulge out. Riley suspected there was a way to add the Tenseigan's powers to her own, completely, without needing to keep activating the Byakugan in order to do it, she just didn't know how. Technically speaking, the Byakugan and Tenseigan belonged to the exact same family tree, just like the Sharingan and the Rinnegan. Theoretically, it should be possible to permanently add the Tenseigan's powers to her own, without needing to keep activating the Byakugan aspects in order to make it so. Unfortunately, the only people with any real knowledge of the Tenseigan were Kaguya, Black Zetsu because of Kaguya, Hagoromo, and Hamura. Hamura was dead, Kaguya had never had it, and neither did Black Zetsu. So that only left Hagoromo to ask once Riley finally made her mates into her paths.

It was an issue for later. For now, Riley used her vision to gaze at the surrounding buildings, piercing through their brick exterior. It took less then three seconds for her to find what she was looking for. On their side of the street, a few houses down, hidden in a building were three men. Each one was armed, and they were dressed like paramilitary members. They had a camera on a tripod pointed out the window at the Tyrant below, and set up on a table next to them was a laptop.

"Umbrella watchers are a few doors down." Riley noted as she deactivated the Byakugan and returned her gaze towards the two giants about to do battle.

"Interesting." Kabuto stated as he corrected his glasses. Both men were now in plain clothing as the US government still hadn't given them permission to be there.

"Do you believe your creature will be able to defeat the Tyrant?" Wesker inquired.

Riley smirked evilly at that. Despite being a bit smaller, Skorge had the power equivalent to a fourth of the One-Tails. That might now seem like much until one notes that if given a few months, the One-Tails is strong enough to bury every continent on the earth under sand, thus exterminating all life on the planet.

This Tyrant wasn't magical. If was just a mutant, and because of that, it wouldn't be able to fully kill Skorge, even if it destroyed the demon's body.

At worse, if Skorge were defeated, his spirit would simply return to Riley where she could reform him a new body or allow him to do so on his own, over a longer period of time.

"Skorge… kill it, and then deal with it's watchers." Riley directed over her link to her faithful champion.

Skorge let out a monstrous shriek and charged at the Tyrant, whom charged back in response.

The two titans slammed into each other with the Tyrant throwing punches while Skorge deflected with his staff.

Despite his size, Skorge was incredibly agile and a master of utilizing his doubled bladed chainsaw staff.

Deflecting a few blows from the Tyrant, Skorge lashed out with his staff, slicing into the tyrant, sending blood and bits of cloth flying into the air.

The trio watched curiously as Skorge began to outpace the tyrant, dodging and weaving past it's heavy strikes and slashing out with it's saw staff. Within moments, much of the tyrant's trench-coat was torn away, leaving it's torso exposed.

"Those coats act as power limiters for the T-103s. They prevent them from mutating. Now that it's gone, we'll see the beast at full power." Wesker noted.

Just as he said, the tyrant began to mutate from it's injuries. It began to bulk up, it's torso expanding, and it's neck vanishing as it's head fused directly with it's chest. It's arms experienced the most evolution as it's hands widened and expanded and it's fingers vanished, being replaced by four massive talon like claws on either hand.

"So… that's their true power." Kabuto hummed, earning a slow nod from Wesker, whom glanced sideways at Riley, wondering if she was at all worried about her demonic pet. Instead of seeing concern or even cool detachment, Wesker saw something that drew his entire focus away from the fight.

Despite the change to her appearance to hide herself, Riley couldn't hide the bloodlust in her eyes when she was excited. The blood red Rinne Sharingan, shined through as a monstrous grin spread across her face.

She truly looked inhuman in that moment. Monstrous and utterly evil.

Wesker felt a chill run up his spine. An involuntary response from his human half. An instinctual thing, that would occur in any man, who comes face to face with a true monster.

Kabuto noted the chill as well and glanced over at her. Taking note of her excitement at this evolution.

"Now this is getting good!" Riley grinned internally.

Skorge seemed to agree and let out a vicious screech of frenzy. The two beasts charged at one another, once again trading blows.

Despite their distance away from the fight, safely on the roof of the buildings lining the street, both Wesker and Kabuto felt their teeth rattle, every time the Tyrant swung it's massive claws and was deflected by Skorge's staff.

Ear splitting clangs were heard as the Tyrant lashed out at incredible speed. Riley watched with carnal fascination. This Tyrant was quite strong. If placed in battle against a Jonin, it had a chance of winning. It wasn't more powerful then a Jonin, not by a long shot. But it was enough of a threat that Riley would tell one to be careful. This creature was most likely on the same physical level as an average Jonin, at least in terms of pure strength, but it was only about as fast as a Genin. It's true strength lay in it's regenerative powers, and it's mutagenic abilities. Put all those things together, and at the very least, Riley would advise that a Jonin approach the situation with a bit of caution. Like they were going to face a Chuunin or the like.

The two beasts continued to trade lightning fast blows, Skorge kept light on his feet, dodging and blocking most strikes from his foe. His staff continued to cut into the Tyrant's flesh, drawing torrents of blood from the mutant, as large chunks of flesh were torn away, only to begin rapidly regenerating.

Skorge tilted his head and eyed the regenerating bits. After a moment he let out a screech and dropped his staff on the ground. He then charged at the Tyrant which lashed out to try and claw the demon in half.

Skorge leaped over the slash, jumping high above the Tyrant, twisting in the air as he did. He landed on the Tyrant's back, getting it into a choke hold with one arm and using the other to draw a long twisted dagger that was strapped to the rampant demon's side.

With a screech, Skorge drove the blade right into the Tyrant's skull, causing it to go still for a moment and then start to twitch.

Skorge jumped off it's back as the tyrant tried in vein to pull the knife out. The blade was placed directly into it's brain and it was obvious to anyone observing that it was experiencing a great deal of trouble in controlling it's body.

With it's body so heavily mutated, it wasn't able to withdraw the blade. All it could do was violently twitch and thrash about.

Skorge watched it with an almost curious look before he stepped over to his staff and picked it up.

The revving of the staff alerted the Tyrant that Skorge was about to resume his assault.

The tyrant turned towards the demon, just as Skorge rushed forward. It lashed out with a downward slash, which Skorge sidestepped and brought his chainsaw staff down on the outstretched arm.

The sound of metal cutting through flesh, and then through bone filled the air.

Riley, Kabuto, and Wesker watched with fascination as the sickening sound of sawing bone flooded the street.

It took less then fifteen seconds for Skorge to cut all the way through the Tyrant's arm, severing it at about the halfway point.

The Tyrant lashed out with it's remaining arm, Skorge ducking the strike to avoid being hit. He then delivered an upward strike with his staff, driving it directly into the stomach of the tyrant. The blade cut into the creatures body, sawing deeper and deeper, until it pierced muscle and bone and entered into the beast's organs. Skorge used this opportunity to pin one half of his staff into the ground, and lodged the other, still activated end, further into the tyrant's body.

The bioweapon twitched and convulsed as the saw cut deeper into it's diaphragm and lungs.

Skorge moved quickly then, leaving the staff where it was, he turned grabbed the severed arm of the Tyrant and leaped high into the air, raising the arm over his head as he did.

With a vicious screech he drove the tyrant's own severed arm into it's skull, sending his own blade flying away.

The tyrant's movements ceased for a moment. Most of it's head was completely destroyed.

Slowly it began to raise it's remaining arm. It only lifted it about a foot off the ground, when the still whirling chainsaw staff finally cut into the underside of the tyrant's heart and began to saw into it. Drawing large gushes of blood from the wound.

Skorge stepped around the mutant and stared into it's eyes for several long moments. He then grabbed his staff and tore it free from the Tyrant's body. With a hard kick to the chest, the bioweapon fell to it's back where it lay motionless and it's life functions began to cease.

"No letting it get back up. Skorge… devour it and absorb it." Riley hissed over their link.

Skorge let out a vicious shriek at that and dove on top of the downed body.

With feral ferocity the demon began tearing chunks out of the Tyrant's body, devouring mouthfuls of flesh. This process continued for nearly a full five minutes, Kabuto and Wesker both watched with fascination, occasionally glancing at Riley, wondering why her pet was now feeding on the tyrant, instead of just cutting it to shreds.

By the end of that five minutes, they had their answer.

Demonic adaptation was a strange thing for many to understand. A demon could take any shape it wanted. By that logic, it could also control every factor about itself. Was it's blood acidic? How hard was it's bones? How dense was it's muscles? Did it have organs? What did they do? All of these things were within a demons control in most cases. Stronger demons tended to be insane which is why their forms were usually more chaotic, with devils and fiends tending to be more in control and thus having more refined bodies.

Logic would dictate that a demon could just think it, and adapt it's body to make it stronger. The issue with that, was that demons needed to know how to do such a thing. Much like humans, demons had ways of controlling and manipulating magic, but in most cases, they couldn't just will it to do things. That's what spells and jutsu were for. They were methods specifically designed to do certain things, to get magic to react a certain way. Demons had their own ways of doing this, the issue came in knowing how. If a demon didn't know how to construct denser yet lighter bones, it could run the risk of making itself slower and much heavier. If a demon didn't know how to increase the density of muscle without also increasing bone strength, it could end up repeatedly hurting itself.

That was why demons devoured other demons. They learned from each other. They developed new abilities and evolved, and when they died, their killers usually stole their adaptations, and grew stronger from it. This process continued all throughout the hierarchy from the lowest little minor demons, to the strongest Archdevils.

It was for that very reason that while Riley had access to the ability to use all forms of magic, known to the Earth, due to having the Ten-Tails sealed within her, that didn't mean she could use all forms of magic, without training. She had to know what she was doing, she had to know how to get magic to do the things she wanted it to do. Theoretically she could use a technique like the Sand Village's Scorch Release, but if she didn't know how they did it, she wouldn't be able to replicate it in the same way. She had the ability just not the knowledge.

The Tyrant may not have been a magical being, but it had several adaptations that Skorge knew were valuable, and it showed as Skorge evolved while eating the tyrant. The already tall Skorge began to bulk up in size, growing a bit wider as he did. His torso widened and grew more refined, and his already muscular arms and legs, swelled in size a bit, becoming even more muscle bound. Skorge's claws grew longer, and harder, his bones denser, his weight greater. By the time he was finished evolving, Skorge resembled the Tyrant a bit more then before.

"It mutated. Amazing adaptability." Kabuto noted with a smirk.

"Yes. It's a demonic servant. Demons are highly adaptive, able to analyze the structure of their kills and absorb superior traits in order to enhance themselves." Riley remarked with a smirk of her own. She had no fear of sharing the truth about Skorge with Wesker and Kabuto. The former knew the whole truth while the latter at least knew about her time as Ralael and thus that Skorge was her familiar. Knowing that Skorge was a demon did nothing to imply that she too was a demon. There were dark sorcerers whom had taken demonic familiars in the past, and that was most likely what he'd suspect.

"Skorge… more foes for you to slaughter." Riley whispered over their link, directing him towards the watchers in the nearby house.

Within the building, three umbrella operatives were busy packing up their equipment.

"I can't believe that just happened." One of them muttered.

"I don't think this is what HQ anticipated when they asked for information on their weapon's combat abilities." Another member stated as he closed his laptop.

A screech was heard causing all three to turn towards the window right as Skorge exploded through the wall, sending glass and wood splinters showering through the room. He landed with a heavy thud and swung wide with his staff, taking off the head of one of the men, in a single stroke. The other two drew their sidearms and started firing at him, their bullets impacted harmlessly against his chest as he stalked towards them with a vicious growl.

Skorge dropped his staff to the floor and quickly jumped forward seizing one of the men by the head. He was lifted off the ground as Skorge crushed his head between his hands. His screams tore out through the air as his eyes began to burst. The last thing that was heard from the man before he ceased moving was the sickening crunch of his skull splitting open.

Skorge tossed the body aside as the remaining man turned to run. In a burst of speed that shook the ground, Skorge appeared in front of the man and drove a clawed hand into his gut. He seized hold of the man's intestines and pulled out a fistful, to the accompanying scream of the man as he fell backwards.

At the hole made into the room, Riley and company stood watching as Skorge proceeded to use the man's own intestines to strangle the life out of him.

"Truly as violent as they say. Demons are absolutely monstrous." Kabuto noted with a smirk, as he eyed the corpses. "Where in the world did you ever find such a beast?"

Wesker too seemed curious for the answer and glanced sideways at Riley, whom simply smirked.

"This demon was born from the corrupted powers of the Second World War. He is the result of attempts by the Dark Lord Grindelwald to bring demons into our world utilizing captured civilians that he had executed, countless thousands in number, if we're being honest." Riley answered.

While Riley quickly advanced into the room, Wesker sent a glance towards Kabuto, obviously searching for further explanation.

"By my understanding, a dark lord by the name of Gellert Grindelwald, aided the Nazis in coming to power, and then utilized the Second World War as a means to initiate his own war against the allies. From the sounds of it, he leached off of the Nazi's concentration and extermination camps to collect souls for this plan of his." Kabuto offered, earning a nod from the former Umbrella scientist.

A part of Wesker became very curious at that moment to know more about which historical events were actually accurate and which were merely cover-ups to hide the involvement of the magical community.

Riley made her way into the room, drawing in the souls of the three men as Skorge finished off the last one. She picked up their laptop that had fallen on the ground during the attack and walked it back over to Kabuto whom was much more tech-savvy then she was.

"Hmm… this could hold some interesting data." Kabuto mused as he opened the laptop to find the files still up on the screen. He perused what was available for a moment or two before closing the laptop and sealing it away.

"Well… I'd say this proves it. Umbrella is deploying more bioweapons into the city to test their effectiveness." Riley stated.

"Yes. These individuals appear to be part of the UBCS, the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service. That might mean Sergei is around." Wesker responded, finishing with a curious look.

"Sergei?" Kabuto inquired.

"An umbrella executive. The leader of the UBCS. He's the man Umbrella sends to deal with their problems. According to this lot, he's not far off." Riley answered, earning curious looks from the both of them. Neither one knowing that she had absorbed the souls of the men that were just killed, nor of her ability to read the memories of those she absorbs.

She simply offered the two a smirk as Skorge moved and knelt in front of Riley, bowing to her in submission.

"Well done my wonderful familiar. If Umbrella seeks to use this catastrophe as their testing ground, then we'll just have to show them the futility of their efforts. It's time to go hunting." Riley stated with a vicious grin. Skorge snarled in reply, and rose to his feet, retrieving his staff in the process. He then moved past them, hopping from the hole in the window.

"If the UBCS is within the city, then there's a possibility that Sergei Vladimir isn't far behind. I've grown tired of dealing with zombies. It's time to make Umbrella bleed." Riley informed her two observers. Both men nodded and followed after her as she made her way after Skorge.

"Itachi… any luck with MACUSA?" Riley inquired over the Gravemind link.

"From what we've heard from our ambassador, they've received our request. I have the Legion prepared to react if they give us the go ahead, but something doesn't seem right. This is taking far too long, given the level of the incident. I think they're trying to stonewall us, and I don't think it's for the obvious reasons." Itachi responded.

"Well according to William Birkin, he was trying to sell the G-Virus to the US army. Perhaps they don't want anyone to know about their hand in Bio-Warfare." Riley suggested.

"If you're right, this could become a cleanup operation to them. I'd watch yourself Riley. If the contamination continues to grow at this rate, the only answer they'll have for stopping the spread is to sterilize the area. Possibly with bombs. I know you're in no danger, but everyone else is vulnerable." Itachi replied, offering her a warning.

"I'll keep that in mind. Umbrella forces have entered the city and they're deploying BOWs to test in the field using the civilian population, and the police as test subjects for their experiments. An Umbrella executive might be nearby. Sergei Vladimir. If he's in the city, I'm going after him. If I take him out, that'll deal a crippling blow to their leadership. I also plan on hunting down their toys, and making sure they don't get anything from the death of this city. I've done what I can for the civilians, many of them have either fallen or been evacuated, but without revealing myself, or getting aid from the Legion, there isn't much more I can do. If MACUSA knows of the situation, then their watchers are probably nearby. I have to keep things contained and keep an eye on them. If they show up within the city limits, I'll have no choice but to leave in order to keep our presence here a secret." Riley informed him.

"I'm aware. Do what you can, but stay hidden. As much as it may pain us, this isn't our fight. Trust that regardless of what happens in Raccoon City, we'll make Umbrella pay for this." Itachi responded.

"What of the Birkins? And the part they played in this? Do you have any intentions for them?" Riley inquired.

"The Birkins, along with the rest of the scientists and staff rescued from the NEST will repay their debt to society by working for us. We have the end of the world to prepare for. We'll keep them under watch, but they'll continue their research and we'll find a way to use it to our benefit." Itachi answered.

"Alright then. Well for now they, along with the rest of the squad are hiding up in the mountains about twenty miles from here. I'll collect them and bring them all home once I'm done. Shouldn't be more then a few days. I'm getting good at hunting muggles in this chaos." Riley said to him, earning a hum in response. She then separated her connection and focused on her new mission.

Focus filled her, and her boredom vanished. Protecting innocent lives, wasn't something a demon was built for, regardless of how it was raised. Hunting people though… that was what demons lived for. If Umbrella wanted to test their weapons, then Riley would give them a test they'd never forget.

-White House, Washington DC, USA-

"We need to give them an answer." The representative from MACUSA said to the surrounding members of the US president's emergency response committee.

"The deployment of a foreign magical army on our soil is absolutely out of the question. The risk to the statute of secrecy alone, should be reason enough to deter such an option." Came the reply from one of the top generals of the army.

"The Legion is the only organization magical or otherwise, with experience fending off the undead. They successfully defeated the Akatsuki and their army of reanimated shinobi and magicals, whom, if anyone needs a refresher from the report, were immortal, not just undead." Came the offer from the Vice-President himself.

"No one here is questioning their ability. More so their motives, and our ability to keep this from becoming even worse." A senator stated to the room, earning some nods of agreement.

"What does MACUSA have to add to this? What's their opinion on the offer, and the risks associated with it?" The President asked, silencing the room with his question.

The MACUSA representative glanced around the room for a moment as he composed himself.

"It is the opinion of MACUSA that there is a reasonable risk to the breaking of the Statute of Secrecy and with the no-magis discovering the truth about magic. With that being said. We are ready and able to send aurors to the evacuation camps to begin mass obliviation of the civilian population, after conducting interviews to determine what was seen and what was experienced. The Legion saved the entire world during the Fourth Great Ninja war, and our cooperation with them would be viewed highly by the ICW. In full our answer is that we have no direction. We are split on our opinion. We are prepared to assist if the need arises but we are fully aware that the risks to the Statute of Secrecy are high if we agree to let them help." The Representative explained to the room.

"We need to do something. Anything. One hundred thousand people live in that city. We have successfully evacuated roughly fifteen thousand of them. Current estimates put almost half the city down as either dead or infected. Our blockade around the city is beginning to experience almost hourly attacks by the undead. Without more information or action from us, current estimates put the total contamination of the city, at occurring within the next five days." A Military analyst explained.

"We need to know more about what we're dealing with in there. While we continue to deliberate, I want a deployment of special operations forces to enter the city and get us the information we need. We have to find out what happened in there, why this all began. Only then can we truly come to a decision on how best to deal with the city itself." The President ordered, earning nods from his subordinates.

-Raccoon City, USA. September 28th 1998-

"All of them appear to be dead." Kabuto noted.

Surrounding them were a large collection of UBCS members, all of whom had been killed by Skorge and his new friends.

As a gift to her champion Riley had given him the ability to dominate some of the infected creatures and bind them to his will. As a wild hunter would, her familiar chose to dominate the will of infected canines. He now had a pack of nearly two dozen large dogs of various breeds working for him. They were more demon then mutant now, with red aura's blooming off of them. These turned dogs, were much stronger and faster then their zombie counterparts, and responded in perfect accordance with their master's will.

Riley was quite proud and actually took a liking to the idea. Not only for Skorge, but with all of her other familiars, especially RAAM. Watching as Skorge took on the dog pack and used it to hunt BOWs and Umbrella personnel, inspired Riley to begin building an army for RAAM to command. He was meant as her general after all. All he did right now was assist Itachi in running the Legion. After seeing what Skorge could do with a force under his command, Riley really wanted to see what would happen when her actual command familiar was given the reins on an army.

While Kabuto analyzed the bodies, taking notes on how Skorge and his pack had killed them. Riley was going through their memories, while Wesker went through their computers.

Almost in unison Wesker and Riley found something that drew their entire focus.

"As of two hours ago, Sergei has taken official command of all remaining Umbrella forces within the city." Wesker informed the two.

"Yes… Time to find him and deal with him." Riley agreed, having learned the same thing from the souls of the dead men.

-Later that day-

"What is it?" Riley inquired as she stared down at the unconscious form of some form of Tyrant.

"It's the Nemesis Type. The European branches pet project." Wesker replied. The trio was currently at the base of a clock tower, where the creature lay in a state of unconsciousness.

The explosion of a helicopter had led the trio here to investigate, where they encountered this creature in a near death state. It was still alive and regenerating, but as for now, it was currently inert.

"This being could be valuable to our research. We should take it with us." Kabuto suggested.

"You're correct. It is valuable. But not just as research." Riley responded. She then knelt next to the body, and placed a hand on it's head. Channeling her powers into the creature, she began to infuse it with her magic, and seize upon it's will, corrupting it, and turning it into a demon. The tyrant's body began to convulse as Riley corrupted it, and turned it into a servant. She felt more then one life form within it, multiple parasites churning within it's body. It took almost a full minute, but the creature finally opened it's eyes and slowly pulled itself to it's feet.

The creature stood at over seven feet tall, it carried heavy muscles in the arms and legs, and it's brownish, almost rotting skin, writhed with movement underneath. It had no lips, revealing a wide slab of large flat teeth. One of it's eyes was covered by stitches that seemed to be holding the skin of it's skull together. It remaining eye now glowed red, signifying the demonic power that coursed within it. The creature was currently wearing the remains of a tattered coat, as well as thick black pants and gloves. From it's shoulders and chest, red writhing tentacles emerged and reentered at various locations.

"You can control it?" Wesker asked as both he and Kabuto stepped back, away from the creature as it rose to it's feet and let out a huff.

"I dominated it's will with my power, and forced it to submit." Riley replied with a smirk.

As a showing of her control, the creature dropped to it's knee and bowed to her much as Skorge had done numerous times already.

"Come, my new pet, we have Umbrella scumbags to annihilate." Riley stated, turning and heading off, with the Nemesis Tyrant following behind her.

-Raccoon City, USA. September 30th 1998-

Gunshots tore through the air, as the last surviving member of the USS struggled to stay alive long enough for his escape helicopter to make it there. He was being targeted by three individuals whom had ambushed him at the police station. One was obviously a member of Raccoon City Police Department, while the other two looked like civilians, one dressed rather casually, and the other, in a red dress.

He was currently engaged in a pitched firefight with the three, all the while they were trying to stay away from the Licker type BOWs that had made a home in the station itself.

The USS survivor, agent HUNK, was in possession of a G-Virus sample. It was the only thing he could recover when his team was ambushed by the mutant William Birkin during the start of all of this.

He could only assume the three that were hunting him, were doing so to retrieve the virus from him.

He needed to stay alive, his rescue was almost here.

HUNK pushed his way onto the roof, racing across it's surface and diving behind an air conditioner for cover.

He heard the door behind him burst open as his pursuers closed in on him. Taking a second to check his gun to make sure he had full ammo he then shot up, ready to fire at them. He barely made it over the top of his cover when a bullet tore past his head, courtesy of the woman in red.

"It's over. Lay down your weapon, and we wont hurt you!" He heard the cop shout.

"Yeah fucking right." HUNK thought to himself as he turned his gaze out across the roof to the top of a building across the street. His eyes widened when they landed on a towering figure standing on the roof staring back at him.

By this creatures side were dozens of dogs, all with glowing red eyes.

The creature knelt, and then to HUNK's amazement it rocketed off the rooftop in a massively powerful jump. It shot into the sky, alerting his pursuers to it's presence as they all looked up in shock as the creature leaped clear across the street, and landed on the rooftop of the police station with a powerful crash.

HUNK didn't hesitate for a second, he raised his weapon and started firing into the beast's chest as it stalked towards him. He managed to nearly empty the clip in the time it took to clear the distance between the two, but none of his bullets seemed to do anything to it. By the time the last bullet left the chamber, the creature was on him, seizing the Umbrella agent by the arm and lifting him into the air.

HUNK pulled a knife as he let out a cry of pain, and drove said knife into the creature's arm. The blade barely scratched the skin, once again doing nothing to the monster.

With a screech, Skorge grabbed the agent by the head and with a switch of it's wrist, snapped his neck.

Without much care, Skorge threw the body onto the top of the air conditioner and turned his gaze towards the remaining three humans. Each one was armed and gaping at him. He could smell fear and uncertainty on them. A demonic chuckle tore out from his throat. He enjoyed their fear, enjoyed their terror. But none of them were Umbrella or infected. So he couldn't kill them. Instead Skorge turned to the body of the Umbrella agent he had just killed.

He began to paw through his body, looking for documents, a PDA, anything that could hold valuable information. What he found instead was a green vial. The creature held the vial aloft, examining it with curiosity.

"Master… I believe I have located a vial of one of the viruses." Skorge informed Riley.

"Interesting. Where'd you find it?" Riley inquired back.

"On an agent of Umbrella's at the police station. He was fleeing from an officer, and some civilians." Skorge responded as he shot a glance at the three, all of whom still had their weapons trained on him.

"A cop? There's one still alive here? Wow… tough bastard." Riley hummed in reply.

Just then, Skorge heard a sound fill the air. He turned him gaze towards the sky and found a helicopter approaching their position.

"There is a helicopter approaching." Skorge informed his master.

"Excellent. See if one of them knows how to fly, if not be sure to keep the pilot alive. Give the cop the vial and get him on the helicopter. Tell him to hand it over to the military. Before you give it to him though, place a tracking seal on it. I want to know where that vial goes so we can find where the US is developing their own bioweapons." Riley ordered, causing her familiar to nod.

He then reached down and stuck one of his fingers into the body of HUNK, he then turned away from the three to hide what he was doing and, using the fresh blood, he drew a tracking seal on the viral container and then activated it, causing the seal to vanish from sight. Skorge then turned towards the three and took a step towards them.

"Fly?" The creature asked as it gestured towards the helicopter.

The three shared glances with one another before focusing back on the demon.

"That's not our helicopter." The cop stated, not fully understanding what Skorge was asking.

"You Fly?" It pointed at them, then at the helicopter.

"I can." The woman in red stated.

Skorge nodded and then turned towards the approaching helicopter it got close but didn't come in for a landing, especially when it spotted Skorge standing there. Skorge turned and held up the vial of the G-Virus, focusing his gaze on the cop.

The man seemed surprised but didn't move any closer.

Skorge made a motion with his arm, indicating that he was about to toss the vial. The cop understood the movements and holstered his weapon. He was able to safely catch the vial after Skorge tossed it to him. The demon then turned towards the Helicopter and leaped into the air.

There were several umbrella personnel in back of the chopper that were quickly tossed out to their deaths. Skorge then stuck his head through to where the pilot and co-pilot sat, and drew his knife placing it to the pilot's throat.

"Land!" He hissed, earning a tentative nod from the two, whom slowly brought the helicopter to a landing. As soon as it touched down. Skorge slit the pilot's neck and headbutt the other so hard his skull split open. Skorge then removed himself from the helicopter, stalking past the trio and jerking his head at it, to indicate they were now free to take it.

"Take it to your government. G-Virus." Skorge said to the cop, turning and marching away after he was finished.

The three watched him depart before sharing a look with one another.

"I have no idea what the hell that was about, but we should get out of here while we've got the chance." The cop stated as he offered the vial to the woman in red. She stared at it for a moment before offering him a smirk and a nod.

"Yeah. I'll help you two get to a safe zone and see this vial safely into the hands of my superiors." The woman in red said to the two. As far as either of them knew, she was an FBI agent, here to investigate the situation and find those responsible. After learning that the NEST was now flooded she had recruited the two to help her find this Umbrella agent and recover his G-Virus sample. Now that she had it, she simply needed to stay under cover long enough to make it back to her employers. While everything was most certainly not going to plan, this all still worked for her. With a gesture, she led the two towards the helicopter.

Skorge stood on the edge of the police station staring out over the city. He heard the chopper begin to lift off but paid it little attention. He was about to leap from the roof when he heard the doorway to the roof burst open and out from the building emerged a T-103 Tyrant. The creature made it's way towards the helicopter, but Skorge quickly intercepted it with a shriek. He tackled the Tyrant and drove it off the roof top.

The last thing the trio saw of the demon and the mutant was them falling over the edge of the building to fight down below.

-Raccoon City, USA. October 1st 1998-

In the early morning, The Nemesis-type tyrant had just finished off a large UBCS team and was currently checking their bodies for life signs. Nearby, Wesker and Kabuto stood over the body of Greg Mueller a former Umbrella scientist. The two men were specifically here to collect the T-Virus anti-virus that Mueller was supposedly developing which had been codenamed Daylight.

With Mueller dead, as well as his personal attack Tyrant, Codenamed Thanatos, the two were free to continue on their way with the Daylight sample in tow.

The group was still on the lookout for Colonel Sergei but they had yet to find him. So for now, their orders were to finish up and rendezvous with Riley and Skorge at the Disposal plant.

Elsewhere in the city, at around the same time, Riley was searching the sewers for the G-infected body of William Birkin. Kabuto had suspected that it wasn't killed, and Riley didn't intend to leave until she was certain it was destroyed.

What she found in the sewers, confirmed his belief. G-virus parasites were everywhere and growing in large numbers. It didn't take long to find the G virus infected body of Birkin, guarding the nest of the parasites.

The creature had mutated greatly from it's defeat at the Legion's hands. It was much taller now, with several massive glowing eyes emerging from it's body. It had two massive clawed arms growing out of it's shoulder blades, alongside it's two regular arms. Much like the tyrants it sported massive claws on it's hands and it now walked on the balls of it's feet.

Birkin's face had vanished fully into it's chest, leaving a much more monstrous head, with flowing yellow eyes. Thick bones jutted out of it's flesh in certain places as a sort of armor, and from it's chest, and a collection of toothy spines, forming a mouth-like hole in it's chest.

"Wicked!" Riley thought to herself as she advanced on the creature.

"Intent on taking another pet, Riley?" Kurama hummed with amusement.

"Perhaps. Let's see what it can do first." Riley responded as she rushed into battle with it.

Two hours later, Riley arrived at the Disposal plant where her colleagues were waiting for her.

"Any luck?" Riley inquired.

"Not on finding Sergei, but we did deal with a few UBCS teams and collect some interesting trophies." Wesker responded with a smirk.

"Hmm… me too." Riley responded with a deviant grin. "What's that thing?" She inquired nodding towards a machine that Kabuto was inspecting.

"Military hardware. US. From the looks of things, the bodies around here are former black ops. They succeeded in killing some of the Tyrants, but from the looks of it, they were all wiped out." Wesker answered as Riley stepped past him to examine the object herself.

"From the manuals laying about, this appears to be some sort of magnetic accelerator weapon. It uses electricity to accelerate rounds at whatever the target is." Kabuto offered, earning a curious look from the both of them.

"A rail gun. Alright, taking that with us." Riley responded, focusing on the weapon and drawing it into Kamui.

"What now?" Kabuto inquired.

"We'll continue our search for Colonel Sergei and any remaining Umbrella assets. Then we'll go home." Riley responded as Skorge and his pack arrived. From there the group left the building, heading up to one of the nearby roof tops. They didn't make it far when they spotted someone entering into the facility they had just left. Wesker recognized one of the people immediately.

"Jill Valentine." Wesker hummed with amusement.

"Friend of yours?" Kabuto inquired.

"Subordinate/Subordinate." Both Him and Riley responded at the same time, Riley sending a smirk at the man when he glanced over at her.

"What do you want to do?" Riley asked.

"Nothing. She isn't worth our time at the moment." Wesker responded, turning and heading off, Riley and Kabuto following along with him.

Another hour went by as they continued to search the city for remaining Umbrella personnel. Dawn was just approaching when Skorge spotted a helicopter fleeing the city, carrying with it, a large object beneath it.

"Found him." Riley stated with a smirk, the veins around her eyes, bulging out as she extended her gaze into the helicopter.

"Umbrella must be finished with this place if they're choosing to leave." Kabuto noted.

Riley nodded in agreement and began marching forward when she suddenly stopped. Her eyes spotted something racing through the air, towards the city.

"A missile!" Riley snapped, desummoning Skorge, and using her tails to quickly grab Wesker, Kabuto, the Nemesis Tyrant and some of Skorge's dogs and pulling them into Kamui. She was just finished with the pack, when the missile reached the center of the city and exploded.

Instead of running, Riley held her ground, watching as the blast wave shot out towards her.

"So this is one of humanity's weapons?" Riley hummed as her surroundings were vaporized by the blast and she was consumed by fire.

Up in the mountains, at a camp set up by the Legion, the Umbrella scientists they had rescued from the NEST along with the Legionaries all turned towards the city in the distance. The sky lit up, and a massive cloud of smoke rose up over the mountains and hills.

"The city… they destroyed the city." Annette noted, holding her daughter to her.

A sound filled the air, as space contorted and from the disturbance, Riley emerged, drawing out Kabuto and Wesker as well. Riley again looked like herself and was covered by the Dementor King.

She gazed around at everyone and shook her head.

"Alright, lets get the fuck out of here." Riley stated as her tails reached out and she began using the Hiraishin to take people to the hidden village.

Riley's curiosity and bloodlust had been satiated, it was now time to go home to her family and mates, it had been nearly two weeks since she'd seen them, and boy oh boy did she had a story to tell them.

A whole new world of exploration was opening up, and Riley now had a new enemy to face. The Umbrella corporation. A minor foe, but one with access to resources that Riley wanted. Resources that may prove valuable when disaster came calling in the future.

Regardless of their reasoning, these people had earned the demon's attention, and they would soon learn the error of their ways.

-To Be Continued-
