Chapter 24

Jill and Chris then set off to search around the Laboratory, they opened more rooms and searched around, currently Jill was on her own in the Morgue as she heard a strange sound, like... a squelching sound.

Jill looked for the source and saw a nearby air vent, where that disgusting sound was coming from... she climbed up to take a look inside, her head just reaching the vent when she saw, a nightmarish face looking back at her from inside!

Jill let out a startled shout as she launched herself away from the vent, barely avoiding the dark shape that lunged out after her, Jill landed on the floor on her back and scrambled back as she saw the creature, it was a short and looking like a horrific combination of Human and insect.

Jill saw that this monstrosity had a face resembling a Human skull, the nose being a hole in the middle of it's face, both eyes were white and the left eye was set lower on the face than the right, the lower jaw was opened uncomfortably wide from the upper jaw, looking like it was only held there by muscle and flesh, the body was a disturbing patchwork of raw, Red flesh, and hairy Black carapace, she also saw what looked to be exposed white ribs where it's chest should be, Jill could see four small insectoid limbs coming from it's back, covered in hairy Black carapace and tipped with small, sharp claws, it's legs had human-like thighs and from the knee-down looked more Insect-like, it's left arm looked Human with a hand that had five twitching fingers while the right arm was formed into a large, Insect appendage with a sharp claw!

"Holy shit!" Jill exclaimed as she quickly pulled her Shotgun as the horrific amalgamation of Human and Fly jumped at her, she quickly pulled the trigger and the creature was struck by the spread of pellets, sending the Human-Fly Hybrid to the ground, the carapace seeming to have held off the attack but was damaged in the process.

Jill quickly pumped the Shotgun and managed to sit up and fire the gun a second time, this time the spray of pellets struck the creature which let out an inhuman sound as it's body was flung on to it's back, the monster's insect limbs flailed around frantically as it screeched until all movement ceased and it's legs arched upward in that same position a dying insect would.

Jill looked at the now-dead creature when it suddenly started to melt, the body collapsing in on itself as it liquified into a puddle of foul-smelling fluids and mush, making Jill gag as the smell hit her nose.

"Ugh... what kind of monsters are they making down here?" Jill wondered to herself in disgust as she backed away from the mess on the floor, she looked up to the vent the creature came from and went to check it again, in case there might be something inside now that the monstrosity was put down.

Jill saw that the Vent seemed to lead to another room, she then climbed in through the vent to another room that seemed to be an operating room, the operating table was covered in what looked like dried blood, or maybe some kind of fluid left by the abomination she killed earlier.

Jill soon climbed her way through another vent and into another room, where she immediately had another of those horrible Fly-Creatures jumped up and slashed at her with it's elongated, clawed arm!

Jill grunted in pain as it slashed at her before she pulled her Shotgun and fired at the creature twice, killing the abominable Insectoid, she then quickly started to search the room and avoid the liquifying monster in the room, until she found another of those computers to transmit the password.

Jill quickly went to the machine and transmitted the Password, she also found herself some Shotgun Shells, before she had to push a shelf back and exited the room.

"Jill, look out!" she heard Chris call out as she saw that another of those Vile Fly Monsters were crawling along the roof toward them, Chris shot at the thing with his Handgun, three bullets striking the creature and knocking it down from it's spot above them, making it struggle to right itself as Jill approached and finished it off with a Shotgun blast to it's body.

"Chris, good to see you" Jill said, sounding very relieved to see Chris again, she told Chris how she had fund another of the Pass Code Transmitters and sent the code, they both also mentioned the creepy Fly monsters that they had encountered, before they kept going.

The two made their way down the steps and through a set of heavy, metal doors into another part of the Laboratory, where they ran into three more of those Fly Chimerae, they were quickly able to kill the monsters and after that had to work together to refuel a generator to open a door to go further into the facility.

Once the two managed to do that they went through the door and had to deal with more of the Chimera's as they dropped down from the vents to ambush them, the two quickly dealt with the Insectoid Monsters and made their way further in until they reached the Power Control Room, Jill then reactivated the generator and they two hurried off and found what looked like a door to a cell.

"Chris! Jill!" Richard called out from inside of the cell as he got up from his seat on the single bed in the cell, Barry was sat against the wall, nursing a black eye and a bloody nose and lip.

"Richard, thank God, your both alright!" Chris said happily as he smiled at the sight of Richard alive, Jill joined him at the door but her smile faded when she saw Barry stand up and hesitantly approach the door too.

"Jill, I..." Barry began hesitantly, guilt evident in his voice before Jill suddenly put her gun up to the bars and aimed it right at Barry!

"Start talking, now" Jill demanded angrily, as Chris stepped back, Jill had already told him about Barry leaving her and (Y/N) behind, and him pulling his gun on her when she encountered him in Jessica's Tomb.

"I didn't want to do it, I swear! I had no choice!" Barry exclaimed in panic as he raised his hands up in surrender, his eyes going wide as he stepped back.

"Hold on, what's going on?!" Richard said in surprise as he looked between Jill, Chris and Barry in surprise, wondering what the heck was going on?

"Barry tried to have me and (Y/N) killed earlier, he's involved with what happened to Bravo team, as well as Joseph's death" Jill said angrily as she kept her gun pointed at the man in question, Richard looked at Barry in shock and disbelief, did he really do that?

"Please, I didn't want to do it, they have my family!" Barry exclaimed in a panic, Jill then looked at Chris and hesitated to shoot him.

"What?" Chris asked Barry in surprise, as he placed a hand on Jill's gun and had her lower it so they could hear Barry's explanation.

"It was Wesker! Wesker said that Umbrella would hurt Kathy, Moira and Polly if I didn't do what they told me to do" Barry told the other three members of S.T.A.R.S., a look of despair on his face as he thought more about the fact he'd sold out people who were like a second family to him.

"Wesker?! C-Captain Wesker is behind all of this?!" Richard said in shock, his eyes wide in surprise at this news, Chris and Jill also looked shocked at this revelation, their Captain was the one that did this!

"No... but, wait, what about (Y/N)? She's been acting strange for a while now and she was so protective over that woman, Lisa" Chris said as he also approached the cell door, Richard was confused about this, why were they concerned about (Y/N) and who was Lisa?

"I don't know why, but Wesker's very interested in (Y/N), he... asked me to put her to sleep and stash her somewhere safe, so he could take her with him" Barry said to Chris and Jill, sounding even more guilty after that failed attempt in the Guardhouse caused her to fall into a hole.

"Wesker wants (Y/N)? Why? What does he want with her?" Jill asked Barry seriously, concerned about the fact that Wesker, and by association, Umbrella, wanted one of the two younger members of S.T.A.R.S.

"Her parents work for Umbrella, Wesker must be planning to take her out of here and return to Umbrella with her, likely so they can do something with that woman, Lisa" Chris said to the others, this made sense to him, they all knew that (Y/N)'s parents worked for Umbrella, they didn't know too much on what their position in the company was, and how involved in this incident and the Virus they were.

"No way! Chris, Jill, (Y/N) saved my life, she helped me and saved me from those Sharks!" Richard said seriously to Chris and Jill, if she truly was trying to get them all killed by these monsters then why would she save any of them, or fight against the monsters like Rebecca said she did.

Chris and Jill thought about it more and wondered if perhaps this was a plan set up by Umbrella, and if this could be some sort of plot that involved (Y/N)'s family, but (Y/N) was unaware of it all?

"We need to get moving, we'll be back to get you out" Jill said to Barry and Richard, she and Chris then set off to go and confront Wesker, also hearing the sound of a fist meeting a face behind them as they left.

WITH (Y/N) AND LISA, AT LISA'S CABIN

(Y/N) sat Lisa down on her bed in her Cabin, the younger woman fussing over the heavily mutated woman and helping her to get comfortable, the (H/C) haired girl then sat on the bed next to Lisa, her face falling to a sad frown as she saw the girl clutching onto Jessica Trevor's skull as if it were a lifeline, tracing a finger over the feature's of the Skull gently as she let out wheezing breaths.

"Okay, Lisa, just... wait here for me okay, I'm going to help the others and once we're done, I'll get you to somewhere safe, somewhere nice" (Y/N) said with a gentle smile as she gently squeezed Lisa's shoulder to comfort the girl, she then stood up to leave, only for Lisa to grab her wrist and hold it in a vice-like grip.

(Y/N) winced slightly from Lisa's tight grip, she looked back and saw that Lisa's exposed eye was focused on her, a look of fear and desperation in that single, Yellow orb, Lisa whimpered as she kept her gaze onto (Y/N), the (H/C) haired girl walked back and knelt down in front of the traumatised young woman, holding her hand and looking into her eye.

"It's okay... I promise, I'll be back, and I won't let Umbrella hurt you again, I'll do whatever I have to to help you" (Y/N) said to her with conviction, Lisa kept her gaze locked with (Y/N)'s and slowly let go of her hand, (Y/N) gave the poor girl a gentle smile and stood back up, checking her ammo one more time before she set off to find her way down to the Laboratory.

BACK IN THE LABS, WITH CHRIS AND JILL

Chris and Jill made their way to the elevator to the lower level of this Laboratory, this was it, they were going to take this lift down and confront whatever may be down there, and if they found Wesker while they were there...

"Chris! Jill!" the two heard someone call out, they turned around and saw Rebecca dash around the corner and stop, placing her hands on her knees and doubling over to try and catch her breath after her marathon sprint to catch up to the two older members of S.T.A.R.S.

"Rebecca!" Chris said, relieved that she was okay and also surprised that she had come here, and that she hadn't run into any monsters along the way to them.

"I saw you both in the Inner Garden, I'm glad I caught up to you both" Rebecca said as she did her best to catch her breath, her chest having as she tried to breath evenly.

"It's good to see you're alright, where were you?" Jill asked Rebecca, smiling to herself that the younger member of Bravo Team was still okay.

"I-I was in the Mansion, then I ran into (Y/N)... she-she found someone, a woman called Lisa, while I was talking with her I saw you two and thought I'd follow you" Rebecca answered Jill as she stood up straight, her hand over her heart as it was beating rapidly in her chest, her breathing was slowly evening out, she didn't notice the look Chris and Jill gave each other at the mention of (Y/N) and Lisa.

"She said she was going to get Lisa somewhere safe for now and catch up to us in a little bit" Rebecca said as she seemed to have finally calmed herself down after her sprint, looking to Chris and Jill as she wiped sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.

"Okay, Rebecca, you should stay with us from now on, no going off on your own" Chris said as he came closer to the younger woman and patted both of her shoulders with a smile.

"He's right, you'll be safer with us" Jill agreed as she smiled at Rebecca, though she felt uneasy, the three then got into the elevator and took it down deeper into the Facility, the ride down was silent as the car reached the bottom floor.

The lift made a slight bump as it came to a stop and the doors slid open, revealing a short L-shaped hallway, the three slowly walked through it and then through another door into the room beyond, the room had many computers and machines working but in the middle of the room was a group of largwe specimen tanks with what looked to be lumps of flesh floating within, attached to tubes and wires, they then saw the man behind this night of terror...

"Wesker" Chris said in a confrontational tone, as the Blonde haired man wearing sunglasses indoors was typing into a keyboard.

"So you've come, Chris, you make me proud, but of course, you are one of my men" Wesker said as he kept his gaze on the computer screen, his voice showing an arrogant pride in their progress.

"Thanks" Chris snorted derisively, not appreciating his Captain's mockery.

"And I see your here too, Jill, you're quite the tenacious woman" Wesker continued with a barely noticeable smirk on his face.

"You son of a bitch..." Jill hissed angrily as she clenched her fists, Rebecca looked at the two in confusion but stayed silent, wondering what was happening, only to be shocked as Wesker pulled his gun on Chris!

"Since when, Wesker?" Chris asked Wesker, betrayal in his voice as he glared at his Captain in anger.

"I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about" Wesker replied as he had ceased typing into the computer and was looking at the three S.T.A.R.S. members who had made it here, keeping his gun aimed at Chris.

"We know everything, you're a slave of Umbrella's, your the one who set up Bravo and Alpha Team to die to those things!" Jill said to Wesker, Rebecca's mouth dropped open in shock at what Jill said.

"No... no way..." Rebecca gasped in shock as she covered her mouth, stepping back in horror as she realised what they were saying, it was Wesker who did all this, he was the one that got so many of their teams killed and put them through all of this hell?!

Wesker smirked at the two and suddenly he pointed his gun between Chris and Jill and fired, Rebecca's eyes going wide as the bullet struck her in the chest and threw her to the ground!

"Rebecca, no!" Chris exclaimed as he and Jill turned wide-eyed and saw Rebecca fall to the floor on her back with a thump.

"Don't move, either of you!" Wesker suddenly said as he pointed his gun at Chris and Jill, stopping the two from going to check on the poor girl, who now laid crumpled on the ground and not moving.

"You..." Chris said as he clenched both of his fists in anger, Jill's eyes stayed on poor Rebecca as she laid on the cold, metal floor, before she looked back at Wesker hatefully.

"I don't think you two want to die just yet, after all, you'll both get to see something very interesting soon" Wesker said as he kept his gaze, and his gun on the other two.

"And what about what you and Umbrella did to Barry? Threatening his family to go along with this atrocity, you bastard!" Jill snapped angrily, upset at this betrayal and the fact he was si uncaring for what he did that he'd just shoot Rebecca like that.

"Yes, if only Barry didn't screw up and actually did what I asked, this would have gone much smoother, but now... it makes no difference, the Tyrant Virus was leaked and polluted this whole place and unfortunately I had to give up my lovely members of S.T.A.R.S., well... all but one at least" Wesker said as his lips pulled into a cold, calculating smirk as he thought to the young (H/C) haired girl who was already showing the signs.

"You mean (Y/N), don't you? Let me guess... her parents paid you extra to make sure she got out of here alive?" Chris said to his traitorous Captain with narrowed eyes, in his mind Umbrella were behind this and of course (Y/N)'s parents would use this tragedy to likely get (Y/N) to work at Umbrella.

"Oh Chris... do you think it's that simple?" Wesker said with a raised brow and a knowing smirk on his face.

"Tonight was an excellent night for collecting data on Umbrella's biological weaponry and how they perform against trained flesh-and-blood combatants, but I must say... (Y/N) was also quite a useful asset as well" Wesker continued on as he kept his gun aimed at the two members of Alpha Team.

"(Y/N)? What do you mean? What did you do to her, Wesker?" Jill asked him angrily, even with the accusations and (Y/N)'s connection to that woman, Lisa, she was still concerned about what this asshole was planning for the young woman.

"Why not see for yourself?" Wesker said as he typed into the keyboard of the computer and then stepped aside, showing recorded video from around the Mansion, the first video showing (Y/N) as she was making her way through a hallway before she was seemingly ambushed by a pair of Hunters in the East Wing Stairway, then, they saw the Hunters seem to calm down and start following her?

The next video then showed (Y/N) in the Mansion's Library, and the two watched in stunned silence as she seemed to somehow tame a Giant, Mutated Snake that Chris recognised from that one time he found them in the Attic!

"Oh my God... s-she can-" Jill said in shock as she and Chris then watched as she spoke with the Viper in the video, there was no audio in this video so they couldn't tell what she was saying to the giant Snake, before they saw it smash open the fence surrounding the Mansion and slither into the forest surrounding the massive building.

"Yes, she's capable of commanding Umbrella's Biological weapons, see for yourself how obedient they are to her? Umbrella would find her most useful indeed... if they got hold of her" Wesker said with an arrogant smirk as he glanced back to the screen, watching as the young woman seemed to lead the Hunters around the Mansion, as well as that poor, insane monstrosity, Lisa Trevor.

"You should be thankful to her, out of all of my lovely members of S.T.A.R.S., only (Y/N) and Miss Chambers were compatible with this experiment, but now that she's proven herself the more useful candidate, Miss Chambers is no longer needed" Wesker said as he regarded Rebecca's body on the ground as if she were a piece of trash, something useless to him.

"What are you planning, Wesker?!" Jill shouted angrily at what he had just done to the young woman, and how coldly he regarded the girl.

"I think it's time for show and tell... take a look at this" Wesker said with a smirk as he reached back and typed into the keyboard, then the tank behind him lit up revealing what was within...

Inside of the tank was a giant creature that looked like a Human Man, but the creature was very tall, almost nine feet tall, the creature's skin was a pale-White colour with many veins and blood vessels showing all over it's body, there were however patches of darkened skin on it's right leh that went from the hip to the knee with a small patch of bumpy growths in the middle, the entire left arm and left side of it's chest was darkened and the thumb and index, middle and ring fingers had elongated and grown into claws while the pinky finger has also turned into a claw and regressed further up the arm like a spur.

On the right side of the man's chest was a large Red organ which looked to be an enlarged heart, with the arteries bulging in their neck and over their right cheek as the heart slowly beat while the creature was in a dormant state, the creature's face lacked any lips, showing it's Human-looking teeth.

The sound of liquid draining filled the room as the tank containing the Monster was empties out, leaving the creature stood on it's own now, with the remaining fluid cascading down it's body in rivulets and drops.

"The ultimate life-form, Tyrant!" Wesker said in a grandiose way, lowering his gun and turning his attention toward the giant creature.

"Hahaha! Wesker, you've become senile" Chris said with a humorless laugh, Jill looked at the Tyrant with disgust, all this death and tragedy... over this thing?

"Chris, you and Jill will never understand, it's magnificent... and once (Y/N) arrives, she will assume command of this creature and utilise it's power for my plans" Wesker said as he walked in front of the now-empty tank and looked up at the Tyrant with reverence, as if he were looking upon something holy and powerful.

"Your plans?" Jill asked him, however, before Wesker could answer her, the Tyrant seemed to become aware and in a sudden movement, thrust it's clawed hand through the glass, shattering it and impaling Wesker through the abdomen!

"Wesker!" Chris exclaimed in shock as he and Jill heard the man in question let out a pained groan as his limp body was effortlessly lifted off the ground by the Tyrant, blood gushing out of the fatal wounds in his body, before the Tyrant tossed him aside, his body hitting the concrete floor and his head striking a metal console before going still.

The Tyrant's heartbeat echoed through the room as it regarded Wesker, before turning it's White eyes toward the two remaining members of S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, then the giant Monster approached the two with heavy, menacing steps.

"Come on you viral cultured freak!" Jill said as she and Chris prepared to face this "ultimate life-form" and hopefully get the hell out of this place, but, not before they confront (Y/N) about her part in all of this as well.
