"You know what the scariest monster is doctor? The kind you invite into your own house." Sarah Winchester, from Winchester. (I know that movie doesn't get the best reviews, I thought it was alright, but the quote works here)

A couple weeks earlier.

Albert Wesker had gotten in his car to head back to base. One of his men was sitting in the driver's seat.

"So I hear you've been looking for me." The man said.

"What?" Albert looked at the man with confusion. Suddenly the man started to change form into a man with a black suit, red tie, and black cowboy hat.

Wesker jumped back startled.

"Calm down Albert, I'm not here to fight." Pariah said.

"Pariah?" Wesker said.

"I'm here to make a deal." Pariah said. "A deal that'll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams."

"I'm listening." Said Wesker.

"I know you've been working with the very same virus that makes up myself. That gives me my powers." Pariah said. "That's why you're looking for me. You don't want to end my carnage, or save lives. You just want my virus, so you can study it, so you can either weaponize it, or to sell unsuspecting people treatments for the virus, that won't REALLY cure it, or maybe you plan to do a little bit of both. Claim to be creating a cure, but really you'll be making more deadly strands of the virus, so people will keep needing treatment, and filling your wallet. All while you use the virus to create super soldiers that you can sell to whoever pays the most. Does that sound about right?"

"Actually yeah." Albert Wesker said. "That's exactly right."

"Well, here I am." Pariah said. "And you know what. I'll give you everything I need, willingly. You just have to do one thing for me."

"What's that?"

"Now I'm gonna be out of town for a while." Pariah said. "and while I'm gone. I want you to capture the Loud family for me."

"The Loud family?"

"Alex Mercer has gotten close to them. I need you to capture them, and get me some DNA from each of the siblings. You do that. And once I start spreading the virus, I'll send you an endless supply of infected specimens for you to play with."

"You got a deal" Wesker said, shaking Pariah's hand.

"Pleasure doing business with you, ya blond idiot."

"Excuse me, did you just call me an idiot?"

"You see the thing about the evolved." Pariah said. "We can see the memories of those we consume. Now if you're hunting an evolved, if you can predict who they'll consume, and tell the right people the right things, you can really manipulate them."

"I'm not sure I fallow."

"Never mind." Pariah said as he got out of the car. "See you later Blondie."

...

Present day.

Rita Loud was working her job as a dental assistant. A patient walked in, a teenager somewhere between 17 and 20. He was here for a routine checkup. She told him to lie down on the chair, and open his mouth so she could look at his teeth.

"Alright I'm just gonna check for cavities." Rita said. She then started poking around in the boy's mouth with her dental tools. Suddenly the boy's teeth turned into sharp fangs and clamped down on Rita's hand like a bear trap, and Rita screamed in pain.

...

Lynn Loud Sr. was working at his restaurant when a dark hooded figure came in.

"Oh hey I know you." Said Lynn Sr. with a smile, once he spotted the hooded figure. "You're Lincoln's doctor. Alex Maxwell right."

"Actually I uh..." Alex Mercer started. "I have a confession to make. My name isn't really Maxwell. My real name is Alex Mercer."

"So what are you on the witness protection program or something?"

"Uh yes that's it."

"Well whatever your name is. I can't tell you how grateful we are for helping our son" Lynn Sr. said. "Every time the misses and I see Lincoln's smiling face we can't help but feel grateful that we met you. That we have our little boy back. Thank you Alex."

"That's actually what I need to talk to you about." Alex Mercer said. "Your kids are in trouble Lynn."

"Trouble?"

"They've been taken by some really bad people." Alex said. "I can probably rescue them myself, but if there is any way you can help I'd appreciate it. Trust me Lynn, I will do all I can to get your boy, and your girls back to you."

"Oh my gosh, we gotta call the police!"

"The police might be in on it. I have no idea how far this goes."

"I gotta call my wife!" Lynn Sr. turned around and picked up a phone to call Rita. He turned back to see Alex had disappeared. "Alex? Hello?"

"Hello?" Came Rita's voice on the other end.

"Rita honey are the kids ok?!?!" Lynn Sr. asked.

"Oh there fine dear." Rita said. "I'm at home with them right now. You wanna say hi? Say hi kids"

Then Lynn Sr. heard the voices of all his children saying hi, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on?" Rita asked. "Why do you sound so panicked?"

"I just. That doctor. The one that helped Lincoln." Lynn Sr. said.

"Doctor Mercer?" Rita said.

"Yeah Alex Mercer." Lynn Sr. said. "He was here and told me the kids were in trouble."

"Oh I'm sure it's nothing." Said Rita. "He's probably just delusional or something."

"Delusional?"

"Yeah, being a dental assistant I hear a lot of gossip about others in the medical profession." Rita explained. "And you know I hear that Alex Mercer has a HUGE drug problem. He was probably just having an episode."

"Ok that's a relief, so the kids are ok then?"

"The kids are fine." Rita assured him. "You can relax and get back to your work."

Lynn hung up the phone and headed back to the kitchen. He stopped when a thought occurred to him.

"Wait a minute." He said. "Up until now I thought his name was Alex Maxwell. How the heck did she know his real name was Alex Mercer?"

He then rushed home.

...

"I can't believe he... that thing lied to us!" Lola shouted.

All the loud sisters were imprisoned in some sort of high tech prison, they had no idea where.

"I knew that wasn't a bear that attacked me." Said Lynn Jr. as she bounced a baseball against the cell walls. "It was that... that."

"I believe Alex Mercer called it a brawler." Lisa pointed out.

"And there's another thing. Who is this Alex Mercer guy anyway?" Lynn said. "How do we know we can even trust him?"

"I can't believe that... that monster wiped our memories!" Lola yelled.

"He's not a monster!" Leni said. "He's our brother! He's Lincoln!"

"Leni." Lucy said. "You know after Lincoln died. And he did die Leni. We... we were all so desperate to have our brother back that we, we accepted that thing into our lives without really knowing what it was. If Albert Wesker hadn't come along, who knows what that thing could have done to us?"

"Oh what you're gonna side with Albert Wesker now?" Leni said. She poked her finger into Lucy's chest. "news flash Lucy. Albert Wesker's the guy who put us in a god damn prison cell!" Leni turned to Lori, who was just staring out of the bars holding them in, lost in thought. "What do you think Lori."

"What I... I don't know." Lori mumbled.

"Oh man." Luna said. "I was supposed to be going to a concert with Sam tonight. It was supposed to be the show of the century."

"We literally have bigger things to worry about Luna." Lori said.

"Hey I know my little brother guys." Luna said. "And I'm pretty sure that was Lincoln back there. I could see it in his eyes dudes. Even with those claws, and that gnarly sword arm, it was still Lincoln in there."

"So what if he wiped our minds." Leni said. "I'm sure he had a good reason. Those powers aren't exactly normal. He probably didn't want anyone to know about them, so exactly this doesn't happen. Sure he made a mistake, but he's made mistakes before, and we've forgiven him for them. And hey, we've made mistakes too, and he's forgiven us before."

"If I can interrupt." Lisa said. "Whether or not that was the real Lincoln back there is irrelevant as we have much bigger problems to deal with. See these soldiers uniforms, as well as the tanks helicopters and trucks we saw earlier. All have the Umbrella symbol on them."

Everyone looked at her confused.

"You guys don't know who umbrella is do you?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Ugh. Umbrella is a pharmaceutical company, they make medicine, and study viruses and diseases. However Umbrella is not your typical trying to save the world kind of company. They've been accused of many unethical practices, including experimenting on live human beings without consent, and even kidnapping. Not to mention their alleged ties with Blackwatch... You guys don't know who black watch is either do you?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Blackwatch used to be a branch of the government, until they were excommunicated, and branded as terrorists when they unleashed a deadly virus that killed millions of innocent people on US soil. And they tried to blow up New York city with an atom bomb.... Ugh please tell me you know what an atom bomb is."

"That's like a nuclear bomb right?" Luna said.

"Yes it's a nuclear bomb." Lisa said. "Point is, those guys who took us. They don't work for the government. They're a private militia! WE'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED PEOPLE!!!!!"

The others all gasped.

"Hey guys." Leni said. "Has anyone seen Lily?"

...

Nothing that's all he felt at first, as if he was floating in a dark endless void. He felt peaceful in the endless darkness.

Suddenly his eyes were struck with blinding light.

Lincoln looked around him, he was in some sort of large, white empty room.

"Hello?" He called out. Suddenly he noticed the metal collar around his neck. "What's going on?"

A voice came from a speaker in the room somewhere.

"Lincoln Loud." Said the voice. "Or the creature formally known as Lincoln Loud."

"Wait I know that voice." Lincoln said. "Albert? Albert Wesker? They guy who kidnapped me, and threw me in this damn place."

Sure enough Albert Wesker, along with a team of scientists, were watching Lincoln through security monitors in a secure room. Wesker was communicating with Lincoln through a radio.

"I know you're mad but hear me out." Wesker said. "I did what I had to do. You see a big change is coming to the world Lincoln. Well you know we really shouldn't call you Lincoln now should we, because you're not really Lincoln Loud, at least... not anymore."

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm Lincoln Loud!"

"Oh come on, you're not fooling anyone." Wesker said. "Lincoln Loud died from a brain tumor about a month or so ago. I have his death certificate right here. No what you are is a changeling. You may look like a human child, but it's all a disguise, ingrained so deep even you yourself believe it. You're not even human."

Lincoln looked around the room with an angry look.

"I understand you've become quite the vigilante. Gotten the attention of some powerful people. One of those people would be a detective Rick Sanchez. Who has reported getting a call from someone calling himself Ace. Was that you?"

"Yeah that was me." Lincoln said.

"Can we call you by that name?"

"Knock yourself out."

"So Ace, how did you come up with that name?"

"It was from a comic book." Lincoln said. "Ace Savey, he's a super hero. And that's what I wanted to be with these powers, a hero. I never wanted to hurt anyone, at least not anyone innocent. I started just going after bad guys. You know, murderers and rapists. Until I was able to use my powers to save a family from a burning building. That's when I realized that being a hero isn't about just killing bad guys, it's about saving people."

"And I see you've been doing a good job of that." Wesker said. "in the past week we've been getting reports of people being pulled out of burning buildings, pushed out of the way of speeding cars just in the nick of time, and even pulled from car crashes. All these people being saved have one thing in common. Do you know what that is Ace?"

"What?"

"None of them can remember who saved them." Wesker said. "Now I understand one of your um... abilities is to erase a person's memory. It's very noble of you to help these people Ace. But erasing their memories? That's a little shady don't you think."

Lincoln said nothing.

"Still." Wesker said. "Most with this power stray down a much darker path. Elizabeth Green, Alex Mercer, James Heller, Pariah. Each one of them had gotten a taste of the power you have, and each one of them were corrupted by it. Alex Mercer, and James Heller alone have taken more lives than every serial killer in American history combined."

"Who's James Heller?"

"He's from another reality." Wesker said. "You've never met him, but trust me, he really puts the "Hell" in "Heller". And yet, while Alex Mercer, and James Heller went on unstoppable killing sprees, almost immediately after they got their powers. You, Ace, You seem to still be holding onto a shred of humanity. I didn't even know these powers could be used to save people rather than mutilate them."

"What do you want?"

"I want to help you Ace."

"If you want to help me, let my family go!" Lincoln yelled.

"Well first of all Ace." Wesker said. "There not your family anymore. Those girls are Lincoln Loud's family. And like I said, Lincoln Loud is dead. Second I can't do that. My benefactor, a new partner I have..."

"Partner?" Lincoln said. "Hey man, love is love. You know I have a sister who's bisexual." Lincoln smirked.

Albert Wesker facepalmed. "Not that kind of partner, smartass."

"Getting a little angry are we?" Lincoln said. "Maybe some repressed emotions. Let me guess, Daddy didn't except you sexuality?" suddenly the collar around Lincolns neck gave off an intense electric charge, shocking Lincoln.

"Ace I can't help you if you're not going to cooperate." Wesker said. Holding a remote to Lincoln's collar. "Now are you going to be a good little boy or not?"

"How is this helping me?"

"My partner wants you terminated." Wesker said. "Or at least he wants Lincoln Loud terminated. I on the other hand, I think you could be valuable to my organization. The data we can get from your genes alone. But the only way I can keep you alive, is to prove to my partner that you're not Lincoln Loud. And you're not Lincoln, are you Ace?"

"I AM Lincoln." Lincoln protested.

"You may have his memories, but you are not Lincoln Loud." Wesker said. "You're a monster, a physical manifestation of a very powerful, and deadly virus."

"Sir." Said one of the scientists in the room with Albert Wesker. "Can I ask you something off record."

Wesker turned off the radio so Lincoln couldn't hear what was going on. "What is it?"

"What you're saying." The man asked. "Is it true? Is he really not Lincoln Loud? Or are you just trying to get in his head?"

"No every word I have said to the boy is true." Wesker said. "The creature in that room is not Lincoln Loud, it is the offspring of Alex Mercer."

"Alex Mercer?" the man said. "Holey shit dude! You don't think Mercer's gonna, you know, come looking for him? Do you?"

"Well hopefully Mercer's been dealt with by now." Said Wesker.

"And you really want to help this kid?"

"Pretty much yeah." Said Wesker.

"If I may." The man asked. "Do you actually, you know, CARE about the boy."

"In some ways yes." Wesker said. "But I don't care about him in the same way that a parent cares for a child no. What I care about is what he can do for the company. Lincoln Loud, or at least the thing wearing Lincoln's face, is one of the most powerful evolved I have ever seen, maybe even rivaling Alex Mercer himself. Imagine if we could turn it into a weapon. The possibilities are endless. Yet for some reason my partner wants it destroyed."

"Is it true? What they say." The man asked. "Is your partner really... you know who? And this virus. Is it true? That you yourself have a bit of the virus within your own cells."

Albert Wesker glared at the man. The man could see Albert's eyes glowing red under his dark sunglasses.

"I urge you not to ask questions above your pay grade." Albert Wesker said.

"Well can you at least?" The man asked. "Tell me, why do you wear sunglasses even when you're inside?"

"I like the way they look on me." Wesker replied. "Don't judge me."

Wesker looked back at the monitors. "Yes Ace you may be powerful." Wesker said. "You may even rival Mercer. But you don't even come close to... him... to the outcast."

Wesker turned the radio back on. "Ok Ace I'm gonna run a few tests."

He pressed a button and a bunch of test dummies appeared in the room. "Now Ace, I want you to destroy each of these targets."

"Uh ok." Lincoln said. He then turned his arm into a sword, and spun around slashing each dummy apart with the sword arm.

"Good. Now I'm going to give you a more challenging test." Wesker said. A door opened up, and a 7 foot tall robot with mini guns rolled in.

The robot started shooting at Lincoln. He turned his arm into a shield to block the stream of bullets. He turned his free hand into a huge spike covered club and slammed it into the ground. A wave of spikes irrupted from the ground around Lincoln's fist, and rushed toward the robot. Thee spikes damaged the robot and sparks and smoke shot out of it. Lincoln turned both his hand into clubs and smashed the robot to a pulp.

"Good boy Ace." Wesker said. "Now you get a treat. You're powers go beyond just shapeshifting. You can also absorb people to gain their knowledge and abilities. I am going to send in an evolved with the ability to create a staff that can detach from his body, and be thrown like a spear. I think you know what to do."

Lincoln turned his arms back to normal.

A door opened up, a man stepped in, he too had a metal collar around his neck. A long bony staff formed in the man's hand.

"So you want me to kill some kid?" Said the evolved. "I thought this was going to be a challenge."

He swung the staff at Lincoln, who was able to dodge each swipe. Lincoln turned his arm into a blade, and cut the evolved's staff in half. The evolved chucked each part of the staff at Lincoln, then created 2 more.

He started swinging the staffs at Lincoln, Lincoln blocked them and managed to cut off one of the evolved's hands. The evolved grew a staff out of his arm, where his hand use to be. He smacked Lincoln in the head with one of his staffs. Suddenly the evolved's collar sent shocks through his body.

"GAH!" The evolved screamed. "What the hell Wesker, how do you expect me to kill this brat if you keep shocking me. That is why you sent me here isn't it? To kill this kid?"

"There seems to bit a bit of a mix up." Albert Wesker said. "You're not here to kill the boy, you're here to feed him."
"What?"

"Oh did I not mention that?" Albert said.

Lincoln then slashed the evolved across the chest with his claws. The evolved spewed blood from his wounds. He turned to look at one of the cameras in the room, his clothes soaked with his own blood.

"ABLERT WASKER YOU SON OF A..."

Then Lincoln's blade burst though the evolved's body, covering the floor in blood and guts. The evolved spat up blood and made some gurgling noises before Lincoln consumed him.

Lincoln looked up at the camera, his glowing red eyes filled with rage, his white hair, wildly messed up, and stained with red blood. His mouth stretched in a vicious snarl, his teeth sharpened to a point. One of his arms a blade, and the other, claws, he was even foaming at the mouth as he growled like an animal.

"There it is Ace." Wesker said. "The real you, the animal, the monster."

...

"Well Rita how's our patient doing?" Doctor Feinstein, Rita Loud's boss, asked as he walked into the room. Suddenly he shrieked at what he saw.

The room was empty, the floor and walls were covered in thick red blood. A message was written on the wall in blood. It read:

"I'M BACK!"

"What the hell happened here?" Doctor Feinstein asked.

"Hello doctor." Came a deep voice from behind him. Suddenly the doctor felt as if he was in some sort of trance. "Now how about you pick up that scalpel over there and... jam it into your neck, as hard as you can."

He didn't want to do it, but somehow the doctor had lost control of his body, and he picked up the razor sharp scalpel from a table near by, and thrust the blade into his own neck. As he fell to the ground, spewing blood, he looked up to see a dark figure standing above him. The figure had glowing red eyes, and a cowboy hat.

"Damn I missed that." The figure said. "Boy, I tell ya, it is good to be home."

Then the doctor died.

...

Bobby was at the office when the 911 call came in.

Lynn Loud Sr. had called informing him that his kids could be in trouble. Bobby informed him that the cops couldn't do anything until they were missing, for 48 hours. After the call he quickly rushed to find someone to help him search for the Loud siblings. Even though he was supposed to wait to start searching, this was no ordinary missing person's case, one of those children was his beloved girlfriend Lori Loud.

He found his way to the police locker room, where he found the one person he knew would want to help him.

"Hey Charlie." Said one of the officers in the locker room. "Heard you had a close encounter with Pariah a while back."

"He was at the hospital yeah." Said officer Charlie Boon. "Didn't know it was him at first."

"Yeah bet he was REAL scared of you hahaha!" The other officer taunted.

"I bet Pariah was on the floor laughing when Charlie tried to arrest him!" Another officer added.

"No." Charlie said, his face getting red. "Actually Rick fought him."

"Whatever happened to that prune anyway?"

"Don't know." Said Charlie. "He skipped this dimension to go meet with seal team Ricks."

"Dimension? Seal team Ricks?" One the officers chuckled. "Dude you have been watching way to much syf fi movies."

Charlie slammed his locker door shut. "You know I don't have to take this from you."

"Oooh big bad Charlie Boon's gonna... wait, hold that thought." Then the officer ran to the nearest trash can and puked in it.

Charlie looked in confusion. "Damn. That's the third guy this week to get struck with the flu."

Just then Bobby came into the room. He looked at the officer puking in the trash. "Party too hard?" Bobby asked.

"No, I think I got the... BLAAAAAAHHHH!!!!" the officer said as he continued spewing the contents of his stomach.

"That stuffs really been going around." Charlie said.

"Charlie, I need your help." Bobby said.

"With what?"

"Come on, let's talk somewhere more private."

"Alright, We can talk in my squad car." On their way out, Charlie put his hand on the sick officer's shoulder. "Hey, no hard feelings about before. Just go home and get some rest alright."

The two walked out to Charlie's squad car. "So what do you need my help with?"

"Mr. Loud called the office, he thinks Lori and the others might have gone missing." Bobby said.

"Well that's not good. How long have they been gone?"

"Not sure."

"Well has it been at least 48 hours?"

"I don't think so, but that's why I need your help." Bobby said. "We all know after 48 hours, it's not likely they'll ever be seen again. I was pretty sure the other cops wouldn't break protocol to help me. But I can't let Lori go missing forever, you understand?"

"Yeah, yeah I get what you're saying. But why do you want my help of all people?"

"Because you have heart Charlie. I figured if any of these guys would help me, it would be you. Besides we do have one thing in common, no one takes me seriously around here either."

"Well I mean you do work part time at some sort of grocery store." Charlie pointed out. "Doesn't exactly scream John Mcclane."

"Hey I have really turned that place around." Bobby said.

"So you want my help because we're both a couple of losers?" Charlie asked.

"I guess yeah."

"Well, let's find out who took Lori, and show those bastards what these two losers can really do."

...

Lynn Loud Sr. rushed home as fast as he could. After talking with Alex Mercer, Lynn Sr. had called his wife to check on the kids. But something in him, told him that the woman on the other end, wasn't his wife.

"Kids, is everything ok?" Lynn Sr. asked as he walked into the front door of the loud house.

No answer.

"Rita?" He called out. "Lori? Leni? Lincoln? Anyone?"

He ran upstairs, he checked all the bedrooms, they were all empty.

He walked back downstairs. Suddenly the house went black, as the outside became pitch black.

He flicked on a light switch, but nothing happened.

"Dangit!" Lynn Sr said. "Looks like I'll need to call an electrician."

"LLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYNNNNNNNNNNN." Came a deep voice from somewhere in the house.

"Who was that?" Lynn Sr. said. Then he heard the sound of children laughing, and he saw glowing red eyes surround him. Then the eyes vanished, and the laughter stopped, just as soon as it started. The lights came back on. Lynn Sr. turned around to see Rita standing behind him.

Lynn Sr. gave a sigh of relief. "Oh thank heavens, you're ok." Lynn Sr. said.

"I'm sorry." Rita said. "But I'm afraid your wife is far from ok." Then Rita's eyes started to glow red.

"You're not my wife are you?" Lynn Sr. said. He started to back away, but tentacles came up from the floor and wrapped around his feet, preventing him from moving.

"No I'm not." The creature disguised as Rita said. "But don't worry, she died for a greater cause."

"What did you do to her?" Lynn Sr. yelled out, his voice filling with rage. "And WHERE ARE MY KIDS?!?"

"They're safe." The creature said. "For now. I've had them put away."

"Where?"

"Somewhere you'll never find them."

"What do you want with my kids?"

"I need their genes."

"For what?"

"Just a little project I have cooking up."

"Why are you telling me this?" Lynn Sr. asked. "Why don't you just kill me?"

"Because I want to make a deal with you." The creature said, still in Rita's voice, and face.

"A deal?"

"How much do you know about revelations Lynn?"

"What like the Bible?" Lynn Sr. asked, confused.

"You know you have a role to play in this."

"In what? Armageddon?"

"You know, every culture, every faith and religion, has its own view on how the world will end. Armageddon, Ragnarok. You know the first song ever written, by the first beings to exist in the universe, was all about the end. Written in the beginning of time, about the end of time. Those beings called the end of everything, the great consumption. When a great force of evil will consume all there is. Of course, the Christians, the Vikings, a bunch of dead aliens, they could only really guess at how it will all end. Truth is, Lynn that the end, doesn't have to be the end. It can be a new beginning. Lynn Loud Sr. if you help me bring on this change, I will make sure your kids are safe to see the new world we've created. And trust me, what happened with your wife, was nothing personal."

"And what if I refuse?"

"Well, then I will have your children slowly skinned alive. One by one, and they will be forced to watch each other die. To hear their screams of agony, knowing they would soon be next."

"Then I guess I have no choice. Now I have your word you'll keep them safe if I join you?"

"You have my word."

"Then yes, I'll join you." Lynn Sr. said, reluctantly.

"Good." Said the creature. "Then from now on, you will be known as... Famine."

"Like the horseman?"

Then the creature's arm turned into claws. Its voice grew deeper as it said. "This will only hurt a bit." Then it stabbed its claws into Lynn Sr. and pumped his body full of the Mercer virus.

...

"Almost got it." Leni said, as she picked the lock of the jail cell her and her sisters were in, with a hair clip.

She looked to see if there were any guards. The coast was clear.

Just moments before, each of the sisters had been taken out one by one, and had blood drawn. Then they were returned to their cell. They didn't know what these people wanted, but they knew they had to escape.

The cell door opened, the Loud sisters quietly cheered under their breaths.

"Come on girls." Leni said. "Let's go find Lincoln."

"Screw that." Lola said. "We don't even know if that thing is even really our brother. He erased our memories. I say we leave him here to rot."

"LOLA!" Leni harshly whispered. "I now you can be manipulative sometimes, but this is a new low, even for you."

Leni and Lola started quietly arguing.

"We're finding Lincoln." Leni said.

"No we're finding an exit and getting the hell out of here." Lola protested.

"Listen." Said Lori. "Before we do anything, we should try to find a security room or something. Some way to get a layout of the building. And before we find Lincoln, or find an exit, we should try to figure out where we are exactly. For all we know the building could literally be on the other side of the world."

"I think a bigger question is..." Luna interrupted. "Where the heck did Lily go?"

...

Lincoln sat in the white room. A puddle off blood and guts at his feet, from the man he had just killed. Lincoln ran his finger through the blood, and picked up a bit of flesh. He then placed the chunk of human meat into his mouth and ate it.

"very impressive Ace." Albert Wesker's voice came over the speaker.

Lincoln began licking the blood off the floor like a dog.

"Tell me Ace, would you like more?" Wesker said.

"Y-yes please." Lincoln said.

A door opened, and some armed soldiers walked in. Lincoln turned around, and gave a psychotic grin, full of razor sharp fangs that lined his mouth like a shark. His eyes glowing bright red.

...

The Loud sisters quietly snuck down the hallway. They ducked behind a corner as a guard started walking in their direction. Lynn pulled a base ball from her pocket and threw it down the hallway. The guard turned toward the noise, and the loud sisters walked past him.

"Well now we're really having a ball with this break out." Luan whispered, and the others rolled their eyes.

They eventually found their way into a laboratory.

"Whoa, look at this place." Lynn said. Looking around at all the beakers and test tubes.

"This place is amazing!" Lisa said, feeling excited.

"Amazingly creepy." Lori stated.

The shiny silver room was lined with tables full of beakers containing all sorts of chemicals. A couple of tables had some cages with white lab rats in them. Huge cylindrical tanks wear attached to the walls. The tanks were filled with some sort of brown fluid, and they had deformed looking fetuses floating in them.

Lana walked up to one of the rat cages.

"Hey little guy." She said to one of the rats inside. Then the rat screeched at her, its eyes glowing red, and its mouth full of sharp fangs.

"GAH!!!!" Lana jumped back.

"Careful Lana." Lori warned. "We have no idea what these people were doing to those rats."

Leni walked up to one of the tanks that held a deformed fetus. One of the creatures eyes were shut, and the other was wide open and glowing red. Its mouth was twisted in a demonic snarl, full of razor sharp teeth. The fingers on one of its hands were stretched into long sharp claws. Its other arm was stretched out and twisted into a long thin tentacle, with sharp metallic blades running down it, and one long blade at the end.

"Oh man." Said Leni. "We really need to find Lily."

"Yeah." Lori said. "Regardless of if we wanna save Lincoln, if that really is Lincoln. We at least need to find her."

Lisa heard footsteps coming down the hall. She found a bottle of chemicals, and filled a syringe with it.

Soon a guard walked in the door.

"What are you doing in here?" The guard demanded, as the Louds froze in fear. "You kids can't be here!"

The guard took out a gun and aimed it at the Louds. Lisa quickly jammed the syringe in the guard's leg.

"What was..." The guard said, then he started to feel light head. "Tuesday's, applesauce day." Then he fell to the ground, knocked out cold.

The Louds gasped.

"Relax." Lisa said. "It's just a tranquilizer. He'll be out for about 8 hours or so, then he'll wake up with a bad headache. But he'll live."

Lynn walked over to the unconscious man, and picked up his gun.

"Dude!" Luna exclaimed. "You're not seriously thinking of using that are you?"

Lynn stared at the peace for a few moments. "N-not unless I have too."

"Well... don't," Lori said. "Don't do anything you might regret ok."

Lynn didn't say anything she just placed the gun in her back pocket.

"Have you even shot a gun before?" Lucy asked.

"A couple times at a firing range." Lynn replied. "But never at anything, you know, alive."

"Well let's make sure you don't have too." Lori said, placing a hand on Lynn's shoulder.

"So what do you think these guys were doing in here anyway?" Luan asked.

"Whatever it is." Said Lisa. "I have a feeling I don't want to know."

They continued down the hall until they reached a security room. Leni picked the lock and they snuck in. but someone was sitting in the room watching the monitors. The Louds hid in the shadows, so the guard couldn't see them.

The guard wasn't really paying any attention to the monitors, he was talking on his phone.

"Ugh, I gotta pull in more over time here." The man said into the phone. "This place fucking sucks."

Lynn slowly took the gun out of her pocket. With a shaking hand, she slowly aimed the gun at the man's head.

"Yeah the boss man captured this little white haired brat. Now he's just toying with the kid." The man said. "If you ask me, it's really kind of sick. But hey, what do I know, I'm just an underpaid security guy. Yeah I'll pick some up when I get home. Love you to honey. And how are my little girls doing? Oh that's great! Did she, aw that's good. Tell the girls daddy loves them, I'll be home as soon as I can. Once Wesker finally decides to release his grip on my dick, am I right? Ha ha. Yeah don't tell the girls that part."

Lynn, sweating bullets started to slowly lower her gun.

"Ugh, why did I have to drink so much soda?" The man said, then he ran out the door, and headed to the bathroom.

As the man left, two of the sisters closed the door, and locked it behind him.

"Lynn, you almost shot that guy." Leni said.

"H-he was." Lynn murmured. "H-he would have caught us."

"But you didn't" Leni said, resting her hand on Lynn's shoulder. "And I'm proud of you for letting him go." Then she gave Lynn a hug.

Lori walked up to the monitors. "Ok, now maybe we can get an idea of where everything is..."

Leni looked at one of the monitors with a look of shock and terror.

"Leni what is it." Lori said, turning her attention to the monitor Leni was looking. "OH MY GOSH! IS THAT!?!?!"

"It's Lincoln." Leni said, as tears rolled down her face. The rest of the siblings all watched the screen in horror.

It was a live video feed to the room Lincoln was in. The one Wesker had sent a small group of lightly armed soldiers. Solders he had essentially fed to Lincoln.

With his powers, Lincoln easily over powered the soldiers. He cut, sliced, and ripped each men to shreds as they begged for mercy.

At a couple points Lincoln hand jumped onto one of the men, dug his now razor sharp teeth into the man's neck, and ripped his throat out.

And the Loud sisters could see everything their brother was doing to those men. As he cut off limbs with his blades and claws, and even ripped out guts with his teeth.

It was a display of carnage and guts, more gruesome than any horror movie they had ever seen.

"You were right guys." Leni said, her eyes bloodshot from tears. "That's not our brother anymore."

...

A Blackwatch scientist walked into the Gentek/Umbrella headquarters (the two companies had made a merger if you recall. Gentek btw is a branch of Blackwatch).

The lobby was huge. A large expensive chandelier hung from the ceiling. A two story high water fountain stood in the center of the gorgeous room.

The scientist walked up to the woman at the front desk.

"Excuse me." The scientist said. "I'm working on the Loud project. I'm a little late. Can you tell me where the testing room is?"

"Sure thing." The secretary said with a sweet smile. "Your buddies are on the top floor. Room G 582."

"Thank you ma'am." The scientist said with a smile.

"Have a nice day." The secretary said.

"You too, beautiful." Said the scientist, with a wink.

The scientist walked further into the room, and was stopped by a couple of guards.

"Hold up." The first guard said. "security check."

"Of course." The scientist said, still smiling. Then he punched the guard in the chin so hard the guard's head flew off of his body, and rocketed toward the ceiling. A fountain of blood spewed out of the guard's now headless body. Then the body flopped to the ground.

The scientist turned to the other guard, his smile now a menacing scowl.

He punched the guard in the chest, sending him to the ground gasping for breath.

The scientist then began to morph into his true form.

"A... Al...." The Guard sputtered. "ALEX MERCER!"

...

Albert Wesker got a call on his radio.

"He's here!" The man on the other line said. "Mercer, he... he's here. And he's ripping us to shreds. We need help!"

"So." Albert Wesker said. Looking at Lincoln's monitor. "Momma bear has come for its cub."

...

A group of soldiers fired machine guns at Mercer. Mercer had turned his arm into a shield.

With his other arm, he dug his claws into the ground, and spikes erupted around him killing the soldiers.

Another soldier shot him in the back with a shotgun. Mercer turned around. He looked up at the ceiling, then back at the soldier. The soldier shot Alex Mercer a few more times with his shotgun, until he ran out of ammo.

Alex Mercer's wounds healed within seconds. He shot a spike at the chandelier, breaking the chain keeping it attached to the ceiling, and bringing the entire thing down on the soldier in front of him.

"Dang it." The soldier said, just before he was crushed buy two tons of sharp, decorative glass.

Then another soldier ran up to Alex, swinging a Machete at him. Alex grabbed the man by the throat. He leapt into the air, and slammed the soldier into the fountain, so that the nozzle at the top of the fountain forced its way into his butt, and ripped its way through his intestines. The name opened his mouth, and a fountain of red bloody water came out. Within moments the entire fountain turned red, as the blood circulated through it.

Alex looked at the woman at the front desk. Alex gave her a sinister smile, and his eyes glowed red. "Thanks for the help." Alex said.

The woman shrieked and hid under her desk.

"Call me sometime." Alex said. "Maybe we can do lunch."

He turned to see an army of heavily armed soldier marching toward him.

A fleshy sack formed in the palm of Alex's hand. The sack, filled like a water balloon with a red glowing fluid. He tossed the sack into the crowd of soldiers. It landed in the middle of them, and they looked at it in confusion.

"What the heck is that?" one of the soldiers said.

"It's gross, whatever it is." Another stated.

Then the sack exploded, shooting out fleshy tentacles that pierced into the soldiers around it. More tentacles then shot out of the soldiers that had been punctured by the tentacles from the sack. Within seconds all the soldier were wrapped in a web of tentacles, and had tentacles shooting out of their own body. All the tentacles then contracted pulling all the soldiers toward one another. Then the entire group exploded in a mass of blood, guts, bloody flesh, and more fleshy red tentacles.

"Now that's what I call a bio bomb." Alex said. With the entire lobby now drenched with blood and guts, Alex Mercer headed to the elevator.

He got in and pressed the button for the top floor.

The elevator stopped a few floor up, as someone else got on.

The man looked at Alex with fear in his eyes.

Alex was covered head to toe in blood, that dripped on the floor.

"How's it going." Alex said calmly.

The man continued to shake in fear.

"I'm Alex." Alex Mercer said. "I have an appointment with Albert Wesker."

The man said nothing.

The two of them sat there in awkward silence for a few moments as elevator music played.

"Crazy day huh?" Alex said.

The man looked at Alex. "You uh... I think you got something on your shoulder."

Alex looked at his shoulder to see a disembodied eyeball stuck to his jacket. "Oh, so I do." He then pealed the eye off of him. He threw it to the ground, and stomped on it. The eyeball made a popping noise as Alex's boot squashed it.

The man gagged.

Suddenly the elevator stopped, and the lights went out.

"Dang it." Alex said. "Looks like I'm taking the stairs." He then effortlessly ripped open the elevator doors and walked out. He could hear the sound of his elevator buddy puking behind him.

...

Lincoln had coded the entire room in the blood of those soldiers.

"Alright Ace." Wesker said. "You've done well. With this information, you're proving yourself to be a valuable part of my organization. Your ferocity truly shows, once and for all, that Lincoln Loud really is dead. And you my dear boy, are something amazing."

Lincoln gave a psychotic smile.

"Now I have one more test for you." Wesker said. "Now I'm not going to lie. This test is going to be the hardest one yet. But you need not worry. From what I have been seeing from you, I'm confident you'll pass with flying colors."

A door opened to another room.

"Your final test is in the next room, Ace." Wesker instructed. "Go into the room and face it, if you will."

Lincoln walked into the next room. His mind raced thinking of what horrid monster Wesker had in there for him to fight. Some giant robot, or hideous mutant, who's form is too terrifying to describe. Whatever it was, however big or powerful, Lincoln was sure he could kill it. This was perhaps the most powerful he's felt his entire life. Truth is. This stuff Wesker was having him do, the people he had to kill. He enjoyed it. And the feeling he felt, as he walked into the room to face the final boss, was not one of fear, but excitement.

He entered the room, and the light came on.

The room was empty aside from, one metal box in the middle of the room.

"Your final test is in that box Ace." Wesker said. Then the box opened, and the creature came out of it, and crawled toward Lincoln.

Lincoln's jaw dropped, and his eyes stopped glowing red, and returned to blue. His arms and teeth, turned back to normal.

He knew, he could not fight this creature.

As the creature crawled closer and closer to Lincoln, his psychotic look, quickly faded, and was replaced with a look of sorrow.

"L-Lily?" Lincoln said, with tears in his eyes.

...

A soldier ran down a dark hallway in fear. Just before he reached the staircase, another soldier flew past him and splattered against the wall ahead of him like a cream pie thrown in someone's face.

Then Alex Mercer's claws burst through the soldiers chest, and blood spewed out of his mouth.

Alex pulled his claws out of the soldier, then grabbed him by the back of the head and slammed his face against the metal stair railing. Then Alex consumed him.

"Well found the stairs." Alex said to himself. He started to walk up the stair, but more soldiers came down the stairs.

Alex jumped up and grabbed the railing the flight of stairs above him, pulling himself up. He grabbed one of the soldiers and broke his neck. Another soldier came up to Alex. Alex stabbed his claws into the soldiers arm. The soldier screamed in pain. Alex took a handgun from the soldiers pocket, and shot him in the face. He then consumed him. More soldiers started coming down from above him. Alex shot the handgun at them, nailing one in the head, and getting the other in the gut. Alex jumped up the flight of stairs. Grabbed the soldier he shot in the gut, and pulled him off, sending him falling down the staircase.

Alex noticed his gun was empty, so he picked up another clip from the body at his feet and reloaded the gun. He continued up the staircase. Another soldier crossed his path. Alex grabbed the gun out of the soldiers hand, threw it on the ground, and grabbed the soldier by the neck. He then shoved the barrel of his own gun down the man's throat, and fired. Alex emptied an entire clip into him, the bullets shooting down his esophagus and out his anus. Alex let go of the gun. Leaving it in the man's throat. The soldier fell down dead.

...

Lincoln fell to his knees as his baby sister Lily crawled toward him.

"Lily." He said.

Lily crawled up to her big brother, and lifted her arms for him to pick her up (seemingly oblivious to the excessive amount of blood covering his body). "Yinky!" Lily said with a smile, then she started to giggle.

"Oh, Lily" Lincoln said, tears in his eyes. Then he picked up his baby sister. Lily then gave Lincoln a tight hug. "Oh Lily it'll be ok. I'm so happy to see you to. So happy." Lincoln held her tighter as tears rolled down his face. Lincoln looked at the camera in the room. "Please" He begged. "Don't make me do this! She... she's just a baby. She's my sister!"

"I've told you Ace." Wesker said. "She's not your sister. She's Lincoln Loud's sister. And the only way I can keep you alive, is to prove that you're not Lincoln Loud. Lincoln would never hurt his baby sister. Now prove to us, that you are not Lincoln Loud."

"No." Lincoln said.

"ACE!" Wesker snapped. "WE HAVE COME SO CLOSE YOU AND I! NOW DO AS YOU'RE TOLD, AND KILL THAT LITTLE BRAT!!!!"

"NO!" Lincoln yelled. "AND STOP CALLING ME ACE! MY NAME IS LINCOLN! LINCOLN LOUD! AND I'm NOT DEAD! I'M RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF YOUR FUCKING FACE!!!!"

Lilly then started to cry. Lincoln started to rub her back, trying to comfort her.

"Sssshhhh, It's ok Lily, I won't let the mean man hurt you." He said softly. Lilly started to calm down.

Wesker took a deep breath. "Are you trying to get yourself killed here, Ace?"

Lincoln set Lilly down, anticipating what was going to happen. Albert Wesker pressed a button on his control panel and the collar around Lincoln's neck sent shocks through his body.

"Gggaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!" Lincoln screamed as he was electrocuted. This shock more intense than the last. Lily again started to cry.

"You do know I have a fatal setting on this thing right?" Wesker asked. "You know I really like you ace, you have potential. I'd really hate to have to kill you. If you wanna live, You'll have to kill that little girl."

Lincoln gasped for breath. "Well then you'll have to kill me." He said. "Because I am not going to harm my own sister!"

"You're such a disappointment Ace." Wesker said. Then he pressed the last button on his control panel, marked with a skull and cross bones.

"YYYAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" Lincoln screamed in pain as shocks shot through his body. Lily started to cry louder. After a few pain filled moments, Lincoln dropped to the ground, in a smoldering, twitching heap.

Lily crawled over to Lincoln. She gently shoved his body, hoping to wake him up, but nothing happened. Lincoln just stared lifelessly at the ceiling. His eyes glowed red, but not like before, now they looked more like embers of a fire. Lily slowly came to the realization that her brother wasn't waking up. She berried her face in his chest and continued to cry.

"Sir what should we do about the baby?" One of Wesker's men asked him.

"Leave her." Wesker said. "She'll starve soon enough. Send a cleanup crew in a couple of day to throw the bodies in the incinerator. In the mean time, I think we have a little pest problem we should take care of."

...

Alex Mercer found himself on a bridge overlooking a deep pit, with a large fan at the bottom. A soldier stood in front of him, and another behind him. The soldier in front of him started to shoot. Alex ducked under the bullets, and shoved the guy to the ground. Then the other soldier shot him in the back with a shotgun. The gun blasted a hole in Alex's back, but the hole quickly healed. Alex quickly turned his arm into a blade, and sliced a hole in the man's stomach. Alex plunged his hand into the man's gut, and pulled out his intestines. The guy's guts made a sickening splattering sound as they hit the floor. Alex continued to pull the soldiers intestines out. He then wrapped the intestines around the other soldier's neck and tightened it like a noose.

Alex tossed the soldier over the edge of the bridge. As he fell, he pulled the other man's intestines with him. The soldier still on the bridge was pulled against the railing as his intestines were pulled tight. As the intestines became tight, they crushed the falling man's neck. He suffocated as he was hung by his friends intestines.

The man on the bridge was barely alive, yet he held onto the railing trying not to get pulled off by the wait at the end of his own intestines. Alex then walked over, cut the man's head off, and threw his body over the side. The two men were then mulched by the fan at the bottom. Alex continued on.

...

Bobby and Charlie arrived at The Loud House to find the place completely empty.

The word "Famine" was written on the wall of the living room in blood.

"Well, that's a bit suspicious." Charlie pointed out.

"Maybe there's something in the house that can tell us where they all went." Bobby said.

"Hold on. Who's that?" Charlie pointed out the window at a man dressed in some sort of black military uniform with black armor. The man was full of cuts and scrapes.

Bobby and Charlie walked out of the house.

"Who are you?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah and what happened to you?" Bobby asked. "Do you need help?"

"Just a few scrapes." The man said. "Happens when you jump out of a moving vehicle. Still better than dealing with that fucking chatter box." The man then raised a gun at the two officers and fired. Bobby and Charlie quickly ducked behind Charlie's squad car for cover.

"Hey hold your fire!" Charlie said.

"We don't want to hurt you, we just need answers." Bobby said.

The man kept firing.

Charlie got up and fired a few rounds at the man. He missed every shot, then ducked back into cover.

"Shit boy." The man said. "You have worse aim then storm trooper." Then the man started to gag, then he puked all over the ground.

As the man was puking his guts out, Charlie got up, and shot him in the head, killing him.

"Holy shit!" Bobby said. "Who was that guy?"

"Dead." Charlie said, his hands shaking, and a look of shock on his face.

"What happened?" Bobby asked.

"Flu's been going around. It's really bad back at the precinct." Charlie said.

"Well we really cut a lucky break huh?" Bobby said, walking over to the body.

"Yeah I'll say."

"Yeah, it's almost like... the flu was somehow helping us." Bobby said. Kneeling down to look at the body.

"What?" Charlie smirked. "Like the flu somehow has a mind of its own. It's a virus Bobby. Viruses can't think."

"Say Charlie." Bobby said. "That word written on the wall back there. You think it means anything?"

"What? Famine?" Charlie said. "Yeah it means a lack of food. You think this whole thing has something to do with food?"

"Well Mr. Loud is a chef." Bobby said.

"Maybe somebody Really Doesn't like his cooking." Charlie suggested.

"Unlikely." Bobby said. "Mr. Loud is probably the best cook in the area."

"So... Maybe it was a competitor." Charlie said. "You know, someone trying to eliminate the competition."

"Could be... but what's this." Bobby said, looking at the Umbrella symbol on the man's uniform. "I've seen this. Yeah it's on this building downtown. Some place called Umbrella."

"What? Do they sell Umbrellas or something?" Charlie said.

"Don't know." Said Bobby. "But I think we should go check that place out."

"Really. I mean I don't know why a bunch of umbrella salesmen would want to kidnap the loud family."

"Well it's the only lead we got."

"What about the food thing?"

"Charlie, there are hundreds of places that sell food. At least this points to one specific area."

"Fine." Charlie sighed. "We'll go downtown to check out this umbrella store. But you owe me one."

...

Lincoln found himself floating in some sort of dark void. He couldn't feel anything in his body, he couldn't feel his body at all. He had no body. He was but a disembodied consciousness floating through a dark endless void.

Am... Am I dead? He thought. Where am I?

Then a bright light appeared before him. He felt something call him toward the light. Something was telling him not to be afraid, and he wasn't. Lincoln felt a feeling of peace wash over him as he moved toward the light.

But just before he reached the light, we woke up gasping for breath on the floor of the testing room, his eyes returning to their normal shade of blue.

Lincoln felt the collar around his neck. That last shock had shorted it out. The collar was fried and weakened. He was able to rip it off with ease.

Lily, full of joy that her brother was ok. Gave Lincoln the biggest hug she could.

Lincoln picked up Lily as he got to his feet. "Come on, let's get you out of here."

He saw a door open to a hallway. He walked out of it.

"Where did everybody go?" Lincoln wondered out loud. He then noticed a red light blinking in the hallway. "What's going on?" He continued to walk down the hallway until he ran into the rest of his siblings.

"Guys!" He said with a smile. "You found me! I am SO glad to see you."

Then Lynn slowly aimed a gun at Lincoln's face. Her hands were shaking and tears started to form in her eyes.

"What's going on?" Lincoln asked.

"Put... Lily... down!" Lynn demanded.

...

Alex Mercer fought his way through a hall full of armed men. One man aimed a shotgun at him, Alex grabbed the man's arm and sliced it off. He picked up the shot gun.

Tendrils slithered out of Alex's hand and wrapped around the gun. The tendrils melted and formed around the gun, becoming part of the gun. Spikes grew out the sides of the gun, and the inside of the barrel started to glow.

"A little upgrade never hurt." Alex said. Then he aimed the gun at one of the Blackwatch/ Umbrella (at this point in the story, Blackwatch and Umbrella are one in the same) soldiers and fired it. Instead of bullets, the gun now fired a blast of tendrils, that tethered the soldier to the walls and ceiling, and ripped them limb from limb.

Alex continued shooting the virally enhanced gun at the small army in the hallway. By the time Alex ran out of ammo, the hallway was filled with mangled limbs and guts, strung up to the ceiling and walls, by fleshy red tendrils.

Alex dropped the gun.

Then Albert Wesker's voice came over the intercom.

"Well, well, well, If it isn't Alex Mercer." Albert Wesker smirked. "Glad you could make it. Wouldn't be a party without you. Hell, I've even hired a couple of clowns."

Then a door at the end of the hall opened up, and two huge men stepped out. They were about 8 feet tall, their biceps where two times the size of Alex's head at least. And they wore some sort of high tech gas masks. Their suits had some sort of tubes running along them, pumping some sort of blue liquid throughout their body. Their entire bodies were covered in thick body armor.

"You remember the super soldiers right Alex?" Albert said. "The soldiers genetically engineered to hunt you specifically."

"Well I suppose they're not here to tell knock, knock jokes." Alex said. Alex swung his blade at one of the super soldiers. The super soldier grabbed Alex's blade arm in mid air. He then punched Alex in the chest sending him flying back. The super soldier held onto Alex's blade arm as he flew backward, ripping it off.

The super soldier held the blade in his hands, and snapped it in half like a toothpick and threw it to the ground.

"Not so tough now are you punk?" The super soldier said.

"You do realize I can just grow that back right?" Alex said as his arm grew back.

"Well then we'll just have to keep ripping you to pieces until there's nothing left!"

"Well good luck with that."

One of the super soldiers charged at Alex. The super soldier swung his massive fist at Alex but Alex ducked under it, he turned his arm back into a blade and swung it at the super soldier. Alex hit the soldier in the side with his blade, but the blade just bounced off the super soldiers armor. "Well." Alex said. "I see you guys have much better armor than last time I've fought you."

The super soldier picked Alex up by the neck, and tossed him down the hallway. The other super soldier then smashed Alex in mid air with his fist, slamming him to the ground.

Alex groaned in pain as he got back to his feet. The two super soldiers then started beating Alex into the ground. An explosion of tentacles erupted from Alex's body, sending the soldiers flying back.

The explosion of tentacles had drained Alex. As powerful as he was, to do a move like that Alex had to use up a great deal of his own bio mass, his own flash.

He staggered a bit, feeling drained. He looked to either end of the hall as the super soldiers slowly got back up. Alex cupped his hands together and a ball of flesh and red hot energy formed between his palms. He opened his hands in the direction of one of the super soldiers, and a beam of flesh and energy blasted from his palms at the super solder. The tentacles and fire ripped apart the super soldiers armor, fried his body to a crisp, and blew him away.

Alex leaned against a wall for a moment to catch his breath. That last move nearly took everything out of him. He turned to the other super soldier.

"You may have been able to kill the other guy." The super soldier said. "But you still have me to deal with. And I see you're almost completely drained. You can't do that dragon ball beam thing again, even if you tried."

"No." Alex said. "But I have one more trick up my sleeve." He raised his hand toward the super soldier. "I hope." For a few seconds nothing happened, and the super soldier marched toward Alex. Suddenly the soldier stopped. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach as if something was coming out.

The soldier started coughing up blood from under his gas mask. He started to scream in pain. Then the super soldier's stomach burst open in an explosion of blood, a large metal blade pushed its way out of the super soldier's belly like a scene from Alien.

The super soldier fell to his knees.

"What the hell did you do to me!" The Super soldier screamed.

"Oh I just tested out a theory of mine." Alex said, still out of breath. Alex then shoved his fist into the super soldier's gut. Tentacles slithered out of Alex's arm, into the super soldier's body and started consuming his flesh. The soldiers armor fell to the ground in a heap.

Having consumed the super soldier's flesh, Alex felt even more energized than he was before.

"HOLY FUCK!" Cried one of the men back in the control room. "WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WAS THAT!?!?!"

"Oh my gosh." Albert Wesker said, as he watched Alex on the monitor. "It was just a theory but... I never thought I would actually see somebody do it." Wesker was truly dumbfounded.

"Do what?"

"He... he shifted... he shifted someone else's shape!" Albert Wesker said in disbelief.

"He did what?"

"Well." Wesker explained. "Evolved like Alex Mercer, they are shapeshifters. There power is basically to control bio mass. In other words they control biological matter, human flesh. But usually only in their own bodies. They absorb another person into their own being and can then shape the person's flesh to their will. But up until now the flesh has to be part of the evolved. But there is a theory that a strong enough evolved could control the bio mass of a living being, without touching them."

"So basically he..."

"He turned that super soldiers guts, into a sword while they were still in his body." Wesker said.

"Ok no, just no, hell no." The man said. "Ok so when I heard we were dealing with people who had super powers, I was thinking like eye lasers, or invisibility, or flying or something. Then I heard it was shape shifters. So I'm thinking like the girl from X-men or something, you know the blue chick. But then we got guys like these fuckers, ripping people to shreds, eating people, hanging body parts from the ceiling with some sort of gross tentacles. And now, and now he's making fucking swords explode out of people's stomachs. I... I don't wanna die man. Not like that. This... this isn't a super hero flick, it's a fucking horror movie. I am getting the fuck out of here." Then the man got up from his seat and ran for the door. Before he could reach the door however, Albert Wesker shot him in the back, killing him.

"Looks like I'll have to pay our little friend a visit myself." Wesker said.

...

"Guys, it's me Lincoln." Lincoln begged as Lynn aimed a gun at him.

"Just... just give us, our sister." Lynn said.

Lincoln slowly lowered Lily to the ground, and she crawled over to the sisters. "Now put the gun down Lynn."

"We saw what you did back there." Lynn said, tears rolling down her face, as her hand shook. "In that, that room, with those soldier guys. We saw you tearing them apart like an animal."

Lincoln held his hands up, and he too started to tear up. "I...I... It's still me guys, I'm still your brother!"

"OUR BROTHER IS DEAD!!!!" Lynn shouted. "He... he has been for months. Then you show up, wearing his face, and erasing our memories to make us think you're him. You're a monster!"

"I...I'm sorry." Lincoln pleaded. "I... I shouldn't have messed with your heads like that, it was wrong. When I got back I... all I wanted was for things to go back to normal. I should have just talked to you guys, instead of trying to deceive you. I'm sorry." He sniffed. "You know I remember dying. I remember how hurt you guys were. I remember everything. Everything we've been through together. I remember when you guys hired Smooch to play for me. I remember when I made that embarrassing video of you guys, and making up for it by making an even more embarrassing video of myself. I remember when we all taught Leni to drive. I remember Luna taking me to my first concert..."

BANG!!!!

...

Lynn looked at the gun in her hand, puzzled. The barrel was not smoking, and she had not pulled the trigger. Then they all turned their gazes to Luna, who had a circle of blood forming on her shirt.

"Ah bogus man!" Luna said, then she fell to her knees.

They all looked behind them to see the man from the security room, the one Lynn had let free. He was holding a hand gun, with smoke bellowing out the barrel.

Without thinking, Lynn shot the man, hitting him in the center of his face. He dropped to the floor dead. Lynn dropped the gun with a look of shock and horror on her face. Luna fell to the ground.

"Luna!" The loud siblings gathered around her,

Luna tried to say something, but she just coughed up blood.

"Luna no!" Lincoln cried. Suddenly Lincoln's eyes started to glow white. He held his hands over Luna, Glowing blue tentacles extended from his hands and wrapped around Luna's body.

"Lincoln what are you doing?" Lori asked. Not knowing how to react.

The glowing blue tentacles continued to wrap themselves around Luna. They dug themselves into the bullet hole on Luna's stomach. Amazingly the wound then healed. The tentacles then receded back into Lincoln's hands.

Luna sat up gasping for breath. "I...I... I'm alive!" Luna said.

"Are you ok?" Lori asked.

"I... I feel great!" Luna said.

Lincoln fell to his knees, he felt drained.

...

Alex continued on his war path through the halls, when someone grabbed him from behind, and pulled him into a dark room.

As his eyes adjusted he could see he was in some sort of kitchen.

"Alex." Came a voce from behind him.

Alex turned around to see who it was.

"Lynn Sr." Alex said, as Lynn Loud Sr stood before him. "What are you doing here? And why do you wreak of the Mercer virus? Oh no... you didn't..."

"I uh..." Lynn said. "I was kind of recruited by Pariah."

"Ah fuck." Alex said.

"And I... kind of..." Lynn Sr. nervously rubbed the back of his neck. "I kind of told him I'd join him."

"YOU WHAT!?!?" Alex said as he drew back his claws, ready to strike.

"Calm down, calm down." Lynn Sr. said. "I'm not actually joining him."

"You're not?"

"No of course not." Lynn Sr. chuckled "I mean this guy killed my wife, and threatened my family. I want to see this get ripped to shreds, believe me."

"So why did you tell him you'd join him? And why did he infect you?"

"Well I figured you know, I could be your inside guy." Lynn Sr. said. "You know, learn his secrets, find his weaknesses, and tell you everything I know."

"Oh alright, I guess that could work." Alex said.

"Well for now I can tell you he's planning something big. Like four horsemen of the apocalypse big." Lynn Sr. said.

"The horsemen?"

"Yeah you know, War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death."

"Yeah yeah, I know who the four horsemen are." Alex said.

"Yeah and he appointed me as Famine." Lynn Sr. said, almost proud of the fact.

"You? A horsemen?" Alex said. "Yeah sure."

"No seriously, I'm Famine." Lynn Sr. said.

"And considering his ego." Alex said. "I'm willing to bet Pariah appointed himself as Death. You know, the leader."

Lynn Sr. shrugged. "Probably."

"Now we just need to find War and Pestilence." Alex said. "Any idea how we can find them?"

"Well" Lynn Sr. said. "When he appoints a horsemen, he writes the horsemen's name in blood, on something the person owns. For me he wrote it on my living room wall. We were in my house when he appointed me, so I guess it was convenient."

"So we find the names, War, Pestilence, and Death written on something, and rip apart whoever owns that object."

"Well that's a start." Lynn Sr. said. "But first we need to save my kids. I can distract the rest of the Umbrella guys, so you can find them."

"How are you going to do that?"

"I'm Famine, remember?" Lynn Sr. Said. "No one can resist my cooking. I'll grill up some burgers, and use the vents to send the aroma throughout the building."

"Alright sounds like a plan." Alex said, as he shook Lynn Sr.'s hand.

As he was about to leave the door, Alex Turned back. "Oh Lynn, one more thing."

"Yeah."

Alex's voice and expression got a lot darker. "If you cross me, you will experience pain no man or woman has ever felt. Got it."

Lynn Sr. gulped. "Got it."

...

Suddenly each of the soldiers in Umbrella headquarters got a whiff of something they couldn't resist. It was the most delicious thing they had ever smelled in their entire lives. Like moths to a flame, they all were lured to the cafeteria. Where Lynn Loud Sr. served them all some freshly cooked burgers.

The burgers were almost inhumanly tasty, as if made buy the gods. The soldiers were helpless. They couldn't help themselves but to keep eating and eating.

"Well that should distract them." Lynn Sr. said. Lynn Sr.'s powers allowed him to control who could smell his cooking, so that Alex, and the Loud siblings were unaffected.

...

Albert Wesker was also immune to Lynn Sr. spell (guess you could call it a smell spell)

Albert walked into his private office, and opened the closet door behind his desk. In his closet was an arsenal of high tech weapons. And at the top, written in blood, was the word "War".

...

Charlie and Bobby drove down the highway leading downtown.

"Hey Bobby?" Charlie asked. "Tanks getting kind of empty. Hope you don't mind if we stop to get some gas."

"Sure but make it quick." Bobby said. "Every second that goes by, who knows what could be happening to my poor Lori."

Charlie pulled into a gas station, a place called Flip's Food and Fuel. He turned to Bobby and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry Bobby, we'll find her."

Bobby gave Charlie a quick nod and a smile without saying anything.

Charlie got out to fill the car with gas.

"Hey Bobby." Charlie said. "How about you go into the gas station and get a snack."

"I would but I don't think we have time bro." Bobby said. "We gotta get that gas tank filled and paid for, and get back to looking for Lori."

"Well it'll take a while to fill this thing up, I'm sure you have time to get a few candy bars."

"I guess sure." Bobby went into the gas station, as Charlie filled up the care.

Bobby came back out a few minutes later having bought some doughnuts and a cup of coffee for him and Charlie.

As he got to the car, he saw that Charlie was gone. Bobby figured he probably went in to pay for the gas. He carefully opened the door. He tried to get in but tripped spilling Coffee all over the front seat.

"Dang it!" Bobby said. "Ugh, maybe he has something in his trunk that can clean this up. Bobby pressed the lever to pop the trunk. He walked behind the car and opened the trunk. He gasped at what he saw inside.

...

On the inside of the trunk door he saw the word "Pestilence" written in blood.

"What the heck?" Bobby said. Then he felt the barrel of a gun press against the back of his neck.

"I'm gone for five minutes to pay for gas, and I come back to find you snooping around in my personal stuff."

Bobby turned around to see Charlie aiming a gun at his face, with a dark look on his face.

"I... I'm sorry man, I got coffee, but I spilled it on your seat, and I thought maybe you have some cleaning supplies in your trunk." Bobby pleaded with his hands raised.

"Well I don't." Said Charlie in a stern voice.

"Well... What... What's Pestilence?" Bobby asked, "and why is it written on your car in blood?"

Just then the owner of the gas station, a short chubby man named Flip walked out of the gas station. "Hey what are you two boneheads doing? Do I need to call the cops?"

"We are the cops!" Charlie yelled. "Now go back inside before I get this germ ridden shit pile of a convenience store shut down."

"Hey look, you two can blow each other's brains out for all I care." Flip said. "Just don't do it on my property alright. This kind of thing is bad or business."

"You asked what Pestilence is Bobby." Charlie said, as his eyes started to glow green. "How about I show you by giving old flip here, stage four liver cancer."

"Liver cancer?" Flip said. "Are you saying I have a drinking problem? Well I'll have you know, that my liver's just fine, and I can quit drinking anytime I want."

Then flip started to cough up blood. He fell to the ground doubled over in pain.

"Pestilence, Bobby." Charlie explained. "Is the name of one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Along with Famine, War and Death. The word Pestilence means disease and sickness. Of which I was given power over. That flu outbreak, back at the station, yeah that was all me. I was flexing my powers."

"How, how did you get powers?" Bobby asked.

"I joined with Pariah." Charlie said.

"But... Pariah's gone."

"He went to another dimension." Charlie explained. "You didn't kill him, but your buddy Rick covered it up, saying he was gone, because he was too lazy or too chickenshit to go after him. But now he's back, HE'S BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!"

"But why would you join that maniac? Dude wants to wipe out the entire human race!"

"This isn't an extinction Bobby, It's evolution." Charlie explained. "Pariah wants to turn humanity into something greater than it is. And you gotta admit it Bobby, humanity sucks. With all the war and pollution. Not to mention the fact that everyone is so sensitive now a day. I mean you can't even say hi to someone on the street without offending them."

"But why are you doing this?"

"I'll tell you why Bobby. No one ever takes me seriously. I am sick and tired of being the joke at the office. Well no one's going to be laughing at me when I'm bringing about a new era."

"Are you going to shoot me?"

"No Bobby, I'm not going to shoot you. But I am going to put ol' Flip here out of his misery." Charlie aid, before shooting Flip in the head.

Suddenly Bobby's skin started to itch. He scratched ferociously at himself.

"Never got the chicken pox as a kid huh Bobby?" Charlie said, his eyes glowing a brighter, and brighter green.

Red bumps formed all over Bobby's body.

Bobby tried to say something, but his throat suddenly felt like someone was taking an industrial sander to it.

"What's the matter Bobby?" Charlie taunted. "Throat a little scratchy? Looks like you got a bit of strep throat."

Bobby fell to his knees coughing.

"And I think I'll finish you off with a little stomach flu."

Then Bobby's stomach felt like it was on fire, and he started to puke.

"Now then." Charlie said. His arms turning into blades. "The question is... Should I eat you... or just let the diseases kill you off for me."

Charlie pushed Bobby onto his back, then slashed his guts open with his blade. Charlie then turned his arms back to normal, and shrugged. "You know what. I think I'll just let you suffer." He then got in his squad car, and left Bobby coughing and sputtering on the ground.

...

Bobby managed to get to his hands and knees. Through the pain, nausea, and itching he crawled in the direction of Umbrella headquarters. He could have just laid down and died, let it all end there, all the pain and suffering, but he had to find Lori. If she was in trouble, Bobby had to save her, no matter how much pain he was in.

...

"Alex Mercer!" Albert Wesker said. "We meet at last." Wesker had body armor from his shoulders to his toes, (his head seemingly unprotected). And he was carrying two huge machine guns. "I've heard stories about you Mercer. And I do say, you do not disappoint."

"Albert Wesker." Alex Mercer said, "I'm going to really enjoy eating your face."

"You're here for them boy am I correct?" Wesker said. "Lincoln Loud? Or should I say, Lincoln Mercer. As he's not really Lincoln Loud is he? Lincoln Loud has tragically died months ago. Some form of fast acting brain cancer, if my research is correct. This thing we've captured. He's yours isn't he?"

Alex didn't say anything.

"You are the virus Mercer." Wesker said. "That is why we call it the Mercer virus, no? And a virus must spread. You've put a part of yourself in the boy's dead body and it consumed him, then it became him. My new business partner, the one who goes by Pariah. He wanted the boy tortured and killed. I on the other hand, thought the boy could be of use to my organization. I was wrong, the boy was not compliant. It's not easy to kill an evolved, but apparently a big enough shock does the job quite well. The boy has been taken care of I assure you."

Alex snarled, and his teeth became as daggers. His left arm became claws, and his right one a blade.

"Did I touch a nerve?" Wesker said.

Then Alex's body grew a black rocky armor around it.

"Wow Mercer, you look like something from one of those Power Rangers movies."

Alex moved toward Wesker, his feet making loud thumps as they hit the ground. Albert opened fire on Alex, hitting him with a steady stream of bullets. The bullets bounced off of Alex's armor like pebbles.

Once Alex got to Albert, he brought his blade down on Albert's head. However Alex's blade was blocked by an invisible force field that covered Wesker's body. The force field flashed blue when Alex hit it.

Albert dropped the guns and punched Alex in the chest with the force of a freight train. Alex flew back ten feet. The plate of armor on Alex's chest had cracked, and blood trickled down Alex's body.

Albert took off his sunglasses revealing his glowing red eyes.

"You're not the only one with gifts, Doctor Mercer." Albert said.

"Let me guess." Alex said. "You're War."

Albert smirked. "So, who told you about the horsemen?"

"Like I'd tell you."

"Well, then I guess I'll just have to eat your brain, and see your memories." Albert said.

"We'll see who is eating who." Alex said.

Then a scientist walked by and said. "Um... actually it's whom."

Then Albert grabbed the scientist and snapped his neck.

Alex again charged at Albert. Albert grabbed Alex's head and smashed it against the wall next to him. The impact caused part of the shell protecting Alex's face to come off. Alex's sky blue eye turned to look at Albert. Albert could see Alex's bones and muscle tissue through the whole in Alex's armor.

"Well that's nasty." Albert said. "Figured it'd just be like a face mask or something. But no that, that armor is like, your skin isn't it?"

Alex turned his gaze to some pipes on the ceiling. He ripped one of them off, and aimed it at Albert, spraying hot steam in his face. Alex's fists turned into clubs and he started beating Albert ferociously.

After a few seconds of Alex slamming his massive fists into Albert as hard as he could, Albert's force field ran out of energy and shut down. Then Alex started beating on Albert's chest denting his armor. Alex screamed with rage as he continued beating Albert. Then Alex turned one of his hands into claws, and jammed his claws into Albert's eyes.

Just before Alex could consume Albert though, an explosion of tentacles shot out of Albert's body, knocking Alex to the ground.

Alex got back to his feet. As Wesker's wounds healed

Albert Wesker dropped a couple of smoke bombs at his feet, filling the room with smoke. When the smoke cleared, Albert Wesker had vanished.

Alex's face grew back, his armor turned back into his skin and clothes, and his arms returned to normal.

"WEEEESSSSSKKEEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!" Alex screamed in rage.

Alex continued walking down the hallway, hoping either he could find Lincoln still alive, or if Lincoln was dead, he could at least find Albert Wesker and make him pay.

Alex saw a guard at the end of the hallway shooting at something down the hall to the right of him. Someone returned fire, nailing the guard in the face. Alex walked over to the guard, and looked down the hallway at where the shot came from.

"Lincoln?"

...

"So you can heal people now?" Lori said.

"It's basically reverse consuming." Alex Mercer interrupted, as he joined the group.

The Louds looked at Alex in shock, as he was covered head to toe in blood.

"When the evolved, people with powers like Lincoln and I consume someone. We break apart their bodies and absorb their bio mass." Alex Mercer explained. "Bio mass is a word for organic material, basically any sort of living, and organic flesh, the stuff that makes up the bodies of every living thing. Mostly animals, usually humans but any animal would work. What Lincoln did for Luna here, is the reverse of that. He transferred some of his own bio mass into Luna's body, to heal her wounds."

"So does Luna have powers now?" Lana asked.

"No." Alex said. "What Lincoln did only healed her wounds, nothing more. And Lincoln. I'm glad to see you're ok." Alex gave Lincoln a smile.

"So, y-you gave up a part of yourself to save me?" Luna said.

"I'd do anything for you guys." Lincoln said. "I told you, I'm still you brother." Lincoln held his stomach.

"Are you ok?" Lori asked.

"I... feel tired, and kind of hungry." Lincoln said.

"Come on guys." Alex said. "Let's get you out of here."

...

As night began to fall a squad car found its resting place in the parking lot of the Umbrella head quarters down town. Charlie stepped out, having ditched his previous partner Bobby, leaving him to die in a pool of his own blood and vomit.

He walked into the main lobby and looked around.

The entire room was covered in blood, the fountain the middle of the room now pumped blood instead of water, with the body of some poor sap stuck to the top. Mutilated body parts hung in the air, strung up by fleshy red tentacles growing from the ceiling and walls like some sort of terrifying bloody spider web.

A young girl, the secretary from the front desk slowly came out of the closet she was hiding in.

"What the heck happened here?" Charlie asked.

"S-some sort of m-m-m-." The woman started stuttering.

"Hey hey, it's ok." Charlie said as he placed is hands on her shoulder. "Just tell me what you saw. I can help you, but I need to know what happened."

The women gulped. "It... it looked like a man but it... it changed it..."

"like a shape shifter." Charlie said.

"Its arm, they, they turned into."

"Claws, blades."

"It killed everyone." The woman started to cry.

"CHARLIE!" came a voice from the front door.

Charlie looked to see Bobby standing by the front door. Bobby's skin was pale, and he was covered in red bumps, vomit and blood dripped from his mouth, and his shirt was stained red with blood. He held a gun in one of his hands, and had a belt full of grenades wrapped around his body.

Charlie grabbed the woman by the neck and held a gun to her head.

"You're like a damn cockroach aren't you Bobby?" Charlie said, as the woman shrieked in fear.

"You left me to die you bastard!" Bobby said.

"So how are you not dead then?" Charlie asked.

"I told you," Bobby said. "I am going to find Lori, no matter what."

"You are really fucking determined." Charlie said. "You really care about your little girlfriend don't you? But tell me, do you care about anyone other than Lori?"

Bobby looked at him confused.

"Your girlfriend is in this building." Charlie said. "But if you take one more step, the secretary here gets a bullet in her brain. Turn around, leave this place, forget about your girlfriend, she goes free."

Then Bobby shot Charlie directly in the face. As the bullet hit Charlie's face, green, snot like slime burst out of Charlie's skull, and he fell to the ground, letting the woman go.

Charlie got back to his feet, green slime oozing down his face. He glared at bobby with rage in his eyes as the whole in his head closed up.

Charlie's arms morphed into thin blades. Booby let a couple more rounds go off into Charlie's chest. As the bullets hit Charlie's body, green slim splattered out of him like a balloon fight at the Kid's Choice Awards.

Bobby grabbed one of the grenades from his belt. It wasn't a normal grenade. He had stole it from one of the armored trucks outside. It was a metal sphere with a button on the top. Unsure exactly how the thing worked, Bobby pressed the button on the top of the sphere and threw it at Charlie. The metal ball exploded in a blinding flash of light. When the light stopped, Charlie was still standing; however his left arm had been incinerated.

The skin and flesh of the left side of Charlie's body had been stripped away revealing his rib cage. A green heart beat behind the ribs, and purple lungs inflated and deflated. Green slime oozed down the ribs, and strands of green flesh hung from the bones.

Charlie screamed at the top of his lungs.

Bobby shot another round at Charlie. The bullet hit Charlie's heart. Green ooze spirted out of the heart as the bullet went in. The heart stopped for a few seconds, then continued to beat. Slowly green flesh started to grow around Charlie's bones.

Charlie ran over to the secretary at blinding speeds. He stabbed his blade arm into her. Green tendrils extended from Charlie's body, and wrapped around the woman. The woman screamed as she was absorbed onto Charlie's body.

Charlie looked in amazement as his own arm grew back in seconds, after consuming that woman. All his flesh, skin, and even clothes grew back in seconds. Bobby just stared in shock and confusion at what was just happening.

"See you later partner." Charlie said as he walked out the door.

Then he was gone.

Soon Alex Mercer and the Loud siblings found Bobby in the lobby. Bobby was crawling on his hands and knees. As the group gathered around Bobby, his vision started to get blurry. He looked up at them, he could barely make out Lori.

"Babe is that you?" Bobby said.

""Yes it's me Bobby Boo Boo Bear." Lori said as she knelt down to look her boyfriend in the eye.

Bobby looked up at Alex Mercer.

"And some scary looking biker guy?"

"Name's Alex." Alex Mercer said. "I'm a friend."

"Lincoln." Lori said. "Think you could do that... whatever it was you did with Luna, can you do that for Bobby?"

"I'll try." Lincoln said.

"I'm not sure that's a good idea." Alex Mercer said. "It already drained Lincoln enough to... wait, Bobby Boo Boo Bear? Seriously?"

"This is not the time for judgment Alex!" Lori said.

Lincoln then placed his palm on Bobby's forehead. Lincoln's eyes started to glow white, and a glowing blue bio mass extended from Lincoln's hand and covered Bobby's entire body, creating a glowing blue cocoon around Bobby. After a few moments the cocoon broke apart and receded back into Lincoln's hand.

The bumps on Bobby's skin were now gone. His skin had returned from its pale sickly color back to its natural dark chocolaty brown, and the wound on his stomach was completely healed.

Bobby looked down at himself. "Wow, thanks little Loud."

Then Lincoln collapsed.

"LINCOLN!!!" Lori shrieked. She picked him up. "Are you ok? What happened?"

Lincoln gave a weak mumbling sound. He felt frail and weak, like he had been drained of all energy.

"Consuming bio mass can heal an evolved." Alex Mercer said. "But giving up bio mass to heal another will drain an evolved."

"So in order to heal Lincoln." Lori said. "Somebody needs to die, so he can consume there bio mass or whatever."

"Well..." Alex started.

"I'll do it." Lori said. "I'll give my life for Lincoln's. I'll let him consume me to live."

"Babe no!" Bobby said.

"Well technically the bio mass doesn't need to be human." Alex said. "or even alive."

...

Charlie was walking away from the Umbrella building when his eyes were stuck by blinding headlights of a gigantic vehicle.

"Pestilence!" He heard a voice call out. "It is time my brother!"

Charlie walked around to the side of the vehicle to see that it was a massive black semi, with a huge bulky black trailer dragging behind it.

He saw Albert Wesker in the driver's seat.

"So you're War right?" Charlie said.

"Get in the back." Wesker said.

Charlie did as he was told. Once he was inside the trailer of the semi, he gasped in amazement at what was inside.

The walls, ceiling and floor were shiny and chrome, it was as clean as the fanciest labs in the Umbrella headquarters. On the walls were racks covered in guns.

"Welcome to the mobile command center." Albert said as he came up behind Charlie. "Here we can store weapons, gadgets, even vehicles. We will be riding in style." He walked Charlie to a room in the front of the cabin. The room was smaller, and was lined with desks, each desk with a computer on top. "Each of these computers controls a turret mounted to the sided of this trailer. The turrets shoot rockets. The computers can also access the internet, this whole truck is a Wifi hotspot of a matter of fact." Wesker explained. "And the armor around the truck can withstand nearly any collision, explosion or projectile. Why do you think he chose me to be War? Because I have access to the best weapons and supplies money can buy. Yeah sure having powers is cool and all, but I do love my toys. Tell me Charlie, why were you picked to be Pestilence?"

"I have no idea." Charlie said. "Guess the others were taken. I haven't even seen Pariah's true face since Rick and I saw him at that hospital. I thought he was gone until he chose me, but he came to me in disguise."

"Well you're about to see him." Albert Wesker said. "Our orders are to pick up Pariah after his big show."

...

Alex Mercer and the Loud siblings sat at a table at the Burpin' Burger in Royal Woods. They stared at the mountain of burgers at the table. Burgers that they did not pay for. Alex Mercer's claws, can be very persuasive.

"It may be processed as Hell." Alex Mercer said. "But it's still animal matter, so in theory it should help."

Feeling famished, Lincoln began shoveling the burgers into his mouth. He swallowed entire burgers at once, and they were not small burgers.

"Why would anybody wanna eat here anyway?" Alex asked. "I mean it has the lyrics, "When it comes pack up it's twice as nice" in the fucking jingle."

Lincoln was halfway through the mountain of burgers. The rest of his sisters had one or two burgers and became too full to eat any more, as that's all a human stomach could take. But Lincoln was not a human, he was an evolved, a creature that craved endless meat.

As Lincoln ate, Alex Mercer told the siblings about Pariah's plans and about the four Horsemen.

Alex was met with shocked looks when he told the kids that their own father was one of the Horsemen. The siblings calmed down however When Alex informed them that their father was actually working as a double agent to help Alex bring down Pariah.

Lincoln finished the burgers, and felt re-energized.

"You see the bathrooms in this place?" Alex said after a period of silence. "I mean I have seen some disgusting places, but that was just nasty. Half the toilets in there are backed up, and the floor is full of shit."

"Yeah, a plumber should be arriving sometime tonight." One of the employees informed him.

Then the front door flew opene and a man walked in.

"You have got to be kidding me." Alex said as he saw the man.

The man was wearing blue overalls, a red shirt, and a red baseball cap. He had brown hair and a brown mustache.

"It's a me, Mario!" The man said in a jolly voice. Then he whipped out a plunger and headed into the bathroom.

Mario took one look at one of the toilets in the men's room.

"Oh Mama Mia!" He said. "I'm a going to need to get in deep on this one." Then Mario jumped into the toilet, and sunk down into the drain as a bleep bleep bleep sound was heard.

"I know how to kill him you know." Alex said.

"Mario?" Leni said.

"No Leni, we're not going to kill Mario." Lori assured her.

"Good." Leni said. "Because those games are like, totes my childhood."

"Yes I think Mario was a big part of all our childhoods." Alex Mercer said. "But as I was saying... I know how to kill Pariah!"

...

At a stadium down town, thousands of people gathered expecting a great show. It was advertised to be the show of the century with all the greatest bands of the day.

A young girl with blond hair, a blue streak dyed in her bangs, sat within the crowd. She wore a denim jacket, over a white t-shirt, purple pants and rocker boots. Her name was Sam. She sat alone, her friend Luna was supposed to meet her there, but she didn't show.

"Luna Loud." Sam said to herself. "You're gonna have to make this up to me big time, for ditching me. Ah well, I might as well enjoy it, if this show is at all what it's cracked up to be."

Inside the stadium the lights dimmed, and the crowd grew silent with anticipation. Then a voice came on the loud speaker.

"Greetings down town Royal Woods, are you ready to ROCK!?!?" the voice said.

The crowd erupted with cheers.

"To start off the night, we have a new comer to the scene. Please put your hands together for Pariah!"

The crowd again fell silent.

"Did he say Pariah?" Sam Said. "As in the serial killer?"

"So we're gonna be hearing music from a real live serial killer?" another audience member said. "That... is so... MATAL!!!!!!!" The crowd again began to cheer.

Sam looked around confused. "Should you really be cheering about that?"

The stage filled with white smoke and a dark figure in a cowboy hat emerged from below the stage.

Pariah faced the crowd, his eyes closed. He was holding the alien guitar he got from the music man which now had the word "Death" written on it in blood.

Pariah opened his eyes/ His entire eyeballs were glowing bright red, they looked almost like empty holes, with some sort of red energy behind them giving off the haunting red light.

He opened his mouth to reveal rows of jagged sharp teeth. That same hellish glow from his eyes, also shined out of his mouth. Then a red mist bellowed out of his gapping maw.

Pariah started to play the guitar. A haunting classic rock tune. The entire crowd was mesmerized, they did not know what to think.

Then Pariah started to sing.

"It's close to midnight, and something evil is lurking from the dark." More of the red mist came from the stage and spilled out into the crowed.

"Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart." The people in the first row started to cough violently as they breathed in the red gas.

"You start to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it." Pariah continued to sing the Michael Jackson song. As the people who breathed in the red gas started to cough up blood.

"Cause this is THRILLER, THRILLER NIGHT! And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike!" Suddenly the sick people turned rabid and started to eat each other as they all became zombified, infected with the Mercer Virus. Some of the audience members started to grow teeth and claws, and ripped their neighbors to pieces. The crowd ran for the doors. Some of them slipped on the blood that now covered the floor. Then those unfortunate souls were eaten alive by their zombified friends as they let out shrills screams of pain and terror.

"They will posses you, unless you change that number on you dial!"

Armed guards blocked the exits.

"You have to let us go!" Sam, begged the guard at the door. "Please, he's going to kill us!"

The guards arms then turned into blades. "These doors will not be opened until the show is over."

"What are you?" Sam shrieked.

"We are the butchers." The guard said, "And you are the cattle." Then more red mist pumped out of the vents. Sam looked up in horror. She then pulled the collar of her shirt over her nose and mouth so she didn't breath any of the red viral gas.

"You fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight!" Pariah continued to sing.

Sam looked up to see the stadium had no roof.

Maybe I can climb out of here Sam thought. She made sure the guard wasn't looking at her, and she started to climb the nearest wall, wrapping her fingers around every crack and bump she could get her hand on. She looked to her sides to see she wasn't the only one who had this idea. Several other teenagers had started climbing the walls in a desperate attempt to escape.

"You feel the cold hand, and wonder if you'll ever see the sun." Pariah continued.

A group of guards looked up with red glowing eyes at the teens scaling the wall. The guards raised their hands, and spikes shot out of their palms.

The guy next to Sam got a nailed in the head with one of the spikes. He fell to the ground and splattered into a pile of blood. Sam felt a spike stab into her leg she lost her grip and fell to the ground.

"This is the end of your life!" Pariah continued to sing.

Sam slowly got back up, her back feeling as though it was on fire. She saw that some of the zombies had joined Pariah on stage, and they had started to do the Thriller dance.

Sam got back to her feet, and Pariah then started to sing in a deep almost demonic inhuman voice.

"As darkness falls across the land, the midnight hour is close at hand.

Creatures crawl in search of blood, to terrorize your neighborhood.

And who so ever shall be found, without the soul for getting down.

Must face the hounds of Hell, and ROT inside a corpses shell.

And though you fight to stay alive, your body starts to shiver.

For no mere mortal can resist, the evil of THE THRILLER!"

Then an explosion of red gas erupted from Pariah's body. Sam ran toward the exit. She couldn't feel the pain in her leg do to the adrenalin pumping though her body. She ducked under the guard's legs and rammed her way through the door. Narrowly avoiding the viral shockwave as it slammed its way out the door.

Sam looked up to see the red gas shooting out of the top of the stadium like an erupting volcano.

Behind all the screams, Sam could hear Pariah's psychotic laughter.

"Ahahahahahaha! ahahahahaahahahaha!"
