Chapter 18: Who Am I?
Blue: Ah, so we finally meet
Miranda:.....This is our 3rd meeting.
Blue: It is?
Eveline: [Facepalms] Yes!
Miranda: Y-Yes, technically more if you count my disguises, then again you didn't know it was me
Blue: Or did I?
Miranda/Eveline: You didn't -_-
Ethan: I think I should intervene. Miranda! Where is my daughter?! And Mia too!
Miranda: What could you possibly mean, Ethan Winters? Your daughter is mine.....and I'm Mia
Ethan: No you're not! Your lies won't work!
Blue: Yeah! I've been fooled so many times already that I'm immune now!
Eveline: [Rolls Eyes] Oh wow, Congratulations
Blue: Thank you! :D
Eveline: That was sarcasm!
Miranda: I think I should get to the point with you two. Join me, and I promise safety as well as a comfortable and prestigious life under me, especially for you Blue~
Ethan: Oh hell no!
Eveline: Away woman!
Blue: Yeah, I'm going to have to say no. I kind of need my niece and sister in law back.
Miranda: Are you sure? Final offer~
Blue:.......Nah
Miranda: Oh well, goodbye!
Blue: Goodbye! Wait.....what-?
Miranda disappears from our view and before any of us can react, I felt a hand and arm pierce my chest. Everything goes black for me and all I could hear was Ethan and Eveline calling my name....as my consciousness fades away......
???: Is he ready?
??? 2: Not yet, but soon enough, he will be
Where......where am I?
???: I need an estimated date......doctor
Doctor? Date? Seriously, where am I? Is this like Skyrim? Am I going to be in a moving cart?
My vision finally turns on and I could see that my surroundings were a lab, it was dark with some lights present from these strange contraptions and computers. There were two guys, a scientist guy and someone......I recognised.
Blue: T-That's the Core Leader! When was this? What is he taking about with this guy?
I looked in front of the two and saw that they were inspecting a big test tube. It was filled with a bright blue liquid and because it was bright, I couldn't see what was inside of it.
But whatever is inside of it, it clearly wasn't complete. But why am I seeing this? Is the Core Leader preparing this....creation for me?
He hates me so he might just have this as some sort of back up in case he fails to kill me. That makes sense, but it also doesn't because I'm dead....I think....I might still be alive......right?
Hold on....the scene is changing....what am I going to be shown now?
Scientist: This boy was created by us to be something superior to a human being
Core Leader: What? Like one of those Tyrants that Umbrella have been making?
Scientist: Oh no, "He" will be different. There is no comparison
Core Leader: So what is special about him?
Scientist: While Tyrants are made by injecting humans with a virus, this one was artificially made in a lab by our top CORE scientists.
Core Leader: Ah right, I forgot. So he will be the first soldier of our future army of superior creations.
Scientist: Yes, and once our army is built, we will destroy Umbrella and revolutionise the world in our image
Core Leader: Exactly
Blue: Woah, hold on there for a moment. Did he says that they want to destroy Umbrella and revolutionise the world?! What has Umbrellas done to you?! They just shield the rain from us!
Eveline: Not that Umbrella idiot! It's the company that Boulder Man and the others have been against!
Blue: Oh....my bad. Wait, Eveline?!
Eveline: Don't ask how I suddenly appeared, it just happened now
Blue: I was actually going to ask if I'm dead
Eveline: You are, Miranda ripped out the hearts of both you and Ethan
Blue: Wait, so then we are both dead?!
Eveline: Well, not entirely. I just saw Ethan being taken by the Duke, he commented on how he was still alive. But someone took your body before that, I couldn't see who it was, then I appeared here just after the Duke took Ethan
Blue:........I'm going to think about that stuff later, because I'm trying to figure out what I'm being shown here
Eveline: Well, let's listen carefully
Both me and Eveline watched as days have passed in this memory, showing the Core Leader overseeing this artificially made being in a tube filled with a special type of liquid.
We would see this thing being created, now it had a body but in child form, which is why they start to take him out. But I noticed that there was something...familiar about him.
Core Leader: Why is he being taken out, Wallin?
Wallin: Well, Ezekiel, we believe that he should grow into an adult naturally like a human.
Blue: So that's his name....Ezekiel
Eveline: That's good, I don't want to refer to him as the "Core Leader" again
Ezekiel: I don't have time for this though
Wallin: But Ezekiel, we can't have him come out as an adult. He needs to grow and learn.
Ezekiel: [Sighs] You're right, the boy needs to learn, shall we give him a name?
Wallin: Why don't you let your daughter do it?
Ezekiel: Abigail?
Wallin: Yes, the boy needs a friend, someone that will help him grow
Ezekiel: Fine, I'll bring her next week
The scene changes once again and I could see a little girl interact with the boy, her name is Abigail and she becomes both his friend and teacher.
Abigail: What's your name?
Boy: I....I don't have a name
Abigail: You don't? Hmm....what's your favourite colour?
Boy: U-Uhh....Blue
Abigail: Then I'll call you Blue!
Blue: WAIT!
Eveline: WHAT?!
Blue: O-Okay!
Blue: No other me! That's not okay!
Eveline: This.....sort of makes sense
Blue: N-No it can't! How am I an artificially made being?!
Eveline: Science has no limit, and as you can see, that kid looks like you as well. It also explains why CORE knows you
Blue:.....Dammit, you're right. I....I don't want to believe it, but I think I should accept this
Eveline: I'm surprised you are accepting this so soon
Blue: It would be pointless of me not to accept it, it's all right here in front of me
Eveline: Are you okay with watching the rest?
Blue: Of course, I have to know everything about myself
Ezekiel brought his daughter to play with me every day, she was 6 and apparently that is the age that my body should be at. I witnessed the two of us becoming good friends, we were really close and Abigail even made a promise to take me outside of this secret base.
She wanted to show me the real world, the world that she taught me about and there was hope in the eyes of past me. He really wanted to go with Abigail.
Eveline: Something doesn't add up, this Abigail wasn't mentioned before by Ezekiel.....wait....don't tell me.....
More days pass, and the two kids grew closer while Ezekiel and the head scientist watched over us. But a bad feeling loomed over, and I didn't know why.....but soon enough I did.
During a normal observing day, something was happening to me, I didn't know what it was but I heard Ezekiel and Wallin talk about it.
Ezekiel: Wallin! What's happening?!
Wallim: H-His powers! They develop as he grows, but it's accelerating! It's becoming too unstable for him!
Abigail: B-Blue, why are you glowing?
Blue: I-I don't know, what do I do?
Abigail: C-Calm down maybe?
Ezekiel: Abigail! Get away!
Blue: H-How do I do that?
Abigail: I.....I don't know, daddy help him!
Ezekiel: Brat! Turn that off now! Or I'll shoot you!
Abigail: No! Don't kill him!
Panic was present on everyone's faces, even on my present self. The smaller me didn't know what to do, and his power overheated.....then it caused an explosion. Everyone was caught in it, and both myself and Eveline were frozen in shock.
We waited to see what was the outcome to all of this, the smoke clears and I saw that the explosion had killed every Core scientist and other members of staff.
But it also killed.....Abigail.
Blue: N-No.....no!
Eveline: That's why she wasn't mentioned.....
Blue: I....I killed her.....
It turns out that the explosion failed to kill Ezekiel, despite him being heavily effected by the blast.
Ezekiel: A-Abigail....no......my daughter. I.....I will kill you for what you did!
Blue: So that's what he meant by me taking everything from him
Eveline: He wanted to kill you, but you clearly lived afterwards, so what happens next?
Blue: I think we're about to find out
I watch as Ezekiel slowly limps over to me with a dagger in hand, the same one I took from him. He raises it in the air and was ready to end me with it, but as we expected, he stops himself.
Ezekiel: No....this isn't what Abigail would want. I can't kill him, then again, the child is who she cared about....so I will send you away and wait for you to grow up, then....I will kill you
We watch as Ezekiel sends the smaller Blue to America, he made sure that I forgot everything using one of CORE's memory wipers. They were Last Resorts which were in need whenever their army turned rogue.
In other words, those that were going to be like me. But before he did that, he took a serum.
Ezekiel: He will be strong when he grows up, so I will match him with this prototype serum. Wallin told me that this is an upgrade on the boy's physical capabilities, he was going to use them on future clones of the boy.
Blue: Ah, so that's how he can do all of that
Ezekiel: Watch yourself boy, because when we meet again, or any other times that we have encounters, you will suffer for everything.
The memory ends and I felt my body collapse, I was back in an empty void and my body was in immense pain. I clutched my chest and struggled to get up, I don't know what happened.
Either it's because I know my past now, or I'm remembering that I'm dead.
Blue: A-Agh, god dammit. Eveline, are you there?
No response....where is she?
Blue: Great.....w-what do I do....ngh....now?
I didn't know how to escape this prison of mine, maybe I'm just destined to stay here. I'm dead and this is my purgatory, I probably deserve it for what I did to Abigail.
She was an innocent girl, and my first ever friend......and I got her killed.
Blue: Well.....I did what I can, everyone's got a limit and this is mine.
???: Are you going to give up? Already?
Blue: I am, why?
???: Do you not want to save Rose? Your niece?
Blue: I do, but what am I meant to do? I'm dead!
???: And that's going to stop you? You just saw us being created as something powerful, and you haven't even begin to use your new abilities
Blue:.....Okay, who are you?
???: I'm your inner thoughts, we are the same naturally, but I think a bit harder than you
Blue: Yeah I can see that, you want me to use my hidden abilities to give Death the big Middle Finger
???: Basically, you've got to look inside of you. Discover the past and something that can bring you back
Blue: Oh okay, just do some Ex Machina tings.....wait, you want me to regenerate, don't you?
???: I do
Blue: So how do I do that? Look inside of my inner thought-! Oh.....oh.
???: Mmm hmm
Blue: Alright.....give me a moment because I've never done this before. Then again, I'm not sure anyone has done this, but maybe that's why I was created, to be someone superior.
I took a few minutes to think about what I needed to, eventually I decided to go for it. I focused on my inner thoughts and that was going to lead me to my memories.
At first, it wasn't working, but then I felt something inside of me. It was in my chest and I assumed that I did the right thing. My eyes close and then reopen to new surroundings.....
Actually.....this place is familiar.
Blue: Where.....am I?
Eveline: B-Blue? Blue! You're alive!
Blue: Eveline? You're back?
Eveline: I was cut from you, and then I got worried. I-I thought you were really dead, and that I would still be alive
Blue: Wouldn't you like that?
Eveline: It's....not the same without you
Blue: Aww, you do care
Eveline: [Blushes] S-Shut up!
Blue: So where am I?
Eveline: Well, you're in the Beneviento House
Blue: Wait, how am I here? I was near the Factory!
Eveline: Well-
Heisenberg: It was because of me
Blue: Wait, you're alive?!

The next chapter will be the last one for RE 8.
And then I might do one more as the finale for the Arc.
Then we will take a break and focus on other projects, when we come back to this story, we will make the next Arc/Season.
Don't have an idea for it, so I'm gonna have to brainstorm everything.
