Chapter 27: A New Threat?
Cassandra:.....What happened to you while you were gone?
Blue:....A lot
Bela: If you're not comfortable, then you don't need to say it
Alcina: Yes, but I'm intrigued to know why you're like this when you were sent on a "recon" mission
Donna: Whatever it is, I'll be there for you
Blue: [Smiles] I know you will, oh right....Eveline?
Eveline: Yes?
Blue:.....Y....You going to explain?
Eveline: Oh right, everyone I umm....I wanted to say that I.....love Blue and I'm sharing....him with Donna
Everyone:......
Donna&Angie: She did it!
Eveline: Umm...everyone?
Blue: You okay? Have I also unlocked the power to stop time?
Jill: Umm....congratulations-?
Leon:.......BLUE, YOU LUCKY SON OF A BITCH-!
_______________
Blue's POV
_______________
Okay.....after that, myself and Eveline cleared things up and weren't judged since Donna already talked to Eveline about this. Eventually, I decided that I should explain what I'm hiding, and so I told everyone what happened in my mission.
I explained how I unlocked new powers inside of me, how I ended the life of my hunter essentially, meaning that I've ended my past on a.....semi-good note.
I took the week off, just to rest and recover from the coma. Even though I had an intense battle with Ezekiel, I wasn't at my full state. I was still feeling the effects of the coma, and the end of that fight, I was basically close to zero again.
So in that week, I spent time with my family, my new lovers, and my friends. More notably, with Leon and Heisenberg as we cause a bit of mischief.
One thing we did was mess about in the local gym in town, where we put on boxing gloves and started to throw haymakers at each other. Leon was confident that he could hurt me with the gloves on, so I stood there as he threw many punches at my chest.
They did nothing.....
Another thing we did was drive around.......
With Heisenberg as the driver.
And that wasn't good, as you can understand. Me and Leon were in the back as we actually wore our seatbelts and gripped the inside of the doors.
Blue: Oh God!
Leon: A-Are we going to die?!
Heisenberg: Nah, we're fiiiiiiiine-!
Leon: KARL! BUS!
Heisenberg: OH SHIT-!
Leon: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-!
Blue: Heaven Gates, here we come.....
__________________________
That was a few days ago, we were....sort of lucky to still be standing, but the mental scars were still there.
We move though, and right now, I was moving into dangerous territory. It wasn't as dangerous as experiencing Heisenberg driving, but it was close.
Today.....I was going to speak to Mother Miranda.
I was advised to not do this, but I can make my own choices now. I wasn't afraid of Miranda, just because she "killed" me, doesn't mean she can do it again, because now there is more to me.
Plus, she is contained, so she can't do anything anyways. The worst she can do is tell me to kill myself now, which were a strong set of words and could motivate me to doing that.....maybe.
I arrive at the base with Leon and walk towards the prison room immediately. I didn't greet anyone as I had a face of focus, this was going to be the first time myself and Miranda come face to face in a long time.
Because before the events of the Village Incident ended, we were both unconscious, with my time being out resulting in a coma. I wonder how this will go?
I enter the room with Chris unlocking the steel door for me. It was cold and small inside, with no light coming in from the outside. There was a small light from the ceiling, and underneath it, was Mother Miranda...chained to a chair.
She looks up when the door is closed again, and her face went from an annoyed look to a....smirk.
Blue: Mother Miranda
Miranda: Blue Light, I see that you are awake. Did you enjoy your little nap?
Blue: Ehh, it was alright. Couldn't really move my legs, but as you can see, I'm good. What about you? How has life been in this small space?
Miranda: It's unpleasant, but I can manage, no form of torture has been practiced on me yet, which I find rather strange
Blue: Well, we could always change things up if you want, that is if you cooperate with me.
Miranda: You want to torture me?
Blue: Wait.....o-oh no! Not that! I meant your surroundings!
Miranda: You want to lock me up somewhere else?
Blue: That's better than this room
Miranda: Interesting, tell me something......why are you being so nice to me? Are you trying to prove something? Maybe you want to manipulate me, just like I did to you when I was Mia and that old lady
Blue: I call it...being friendly and that.
Miranda: Friendly? After all that has happened, you are definitely a peculiar child, Blue Winters
Blue: Miranda.....there's no more hiding, you don't have to put up this act of resistance. You're going to answer my questions, and you're going to do it now....kay? :)
Miranda: Oh, Blue, such demand, yet in a more cute than ferocious tone.
Blue: Hay!
Miranda: Very well, ask your questions. I'm in no position to refuse, am I?
Blue: I mean, you could, but you might find it amusing from me because...I'm me.
Miranda: You're not wrong, I never did answer questions from Ethan or Redfield, but maybe you can get something out of me~
Blue: Oh I will, why did you target our family? Why us?
Miranda: I thought you would know this by now, perhaps that coma erased parts of your memory. Ethan was....unique. His resilience, his ability to recover from what should have been fatal injuries. He was the perfect vessel for my experiments, the key to resurrecting my beloved Eva.
Blue: But instead you got the better Winters
Miranda: [Laughs] And I don't regret it, seeing you in action was much better and amusing. I knew that you would help me out in the end, and that your services would not be required anymore
Blue: Kind of did what I want, but okay. Also, you couldn't get rid of me, I'm like a mosquito.....which I hate ._.
Miranda: I wonder why? Maybe it was fate that wanted us to intertwine with each other
Blue: Or because I'm not human, and instead....I'm an experiment gone wrong.
Miranda: Experiment? Ah right, you came back from the dead
Blue: And I have enhanced strength, speed and reflexes. I'm not going to tell her about the....other things just yet.
Miranda: I would say it's a success, because you have done what no man could do. Defeat the Lords and come back from death, please....tell me more of your secrets~
Blue: There is a lot, for example....if we were to fight.....
Miranda: You would lose?
Blue: Nah, I'd Win
Miranda: So....you can't just come back from the dead....there is more~
Blue: Oh yeah, definitely. And it was more of me regenerating than coming back from the Heaven Gates.
Miranda: I see, you certainly are a specimen, a God amongst Men!
Blue: Woah, woah....hold on there, I'm not God, I'm just a simple boi trying to live a simple life.....well that simple life has taken a turn, but that's fine, we can ball still.
Miranda: But you're also an experiment, you and your Brother can never be normal again
Blue: Really? Ah damn, guess I got to face discrimination, too bad I'll just drop a UAV and then find them with an AC 130.
Miranda: Do you always have a snappy response of humour?
Blue: Of course I do, it's funny
Miranda: That I'll give you, it is certainly amusing
Blue: Yes, but that's enough about me, I need to know something about Rose, What did you want with my niece?
Miranda: Rose.....is special, more so than Ethan, her potential far exceeds his. With her abilities, I could have brought Eva back to life. She was to be the vessel, the culmination of my years of research.
Blue: Well, now Eva is back, but as someone different. You destroyed countless lives for your delusions....do you feel any remorse?
Miranda:: Remorse? No, everything I did was for the greater good, for Eva. The world is filled with suffering, Blue, I merely sought to end my own.
Blue: I understand what you mean, but you justified your atrocities as acts of love, but they were nothing but selfish desires. You took my family from me....just as I took family away from another man
Miranda: Do you....want to explain?
Blue: Maybe another time, when we can talk to each other without the tension, when I can make you change
Miranda: Perhaps, but in the end, I failed. Eva remains lost to me, she doesn't want anything to do with me, and you have your revenge. It's a hollow victory for both of us, isn't it?
Blue: This isn't about revenge, it's about justice. For Ethan, for Mia, for all the lives you've destroyed.
Miranda: Justice, then. Do what you must. My time is over. The era of Mother Miranda ends here, with you.
Blue: You're right, it does. But the scars you left behind won't heal easily, people will remember what you've done, and they'll make sure nothing like this happens again.
Miranda: We shall see, Blue Winters. We shall see......so are you going to end me now? Wipe me off the face of the Earth?
Blue: Miranda, I know that I can be deluded for this, but I believe you have a second chance at life
Miranda: A second chance? Do you really believe that someone like me would get it?
Blue: Yes, of course
Miranda: You really are deluded, but it makes you more adorable by the day
Blue: You always have a backup plan, so why don’t you tell me everything now, or I’ll make sure you never get that chance.
Miranda: Ah, so you’ve done your homework. I suppose you wouldn't be a Winters if you didn’t have a knack for persistence. Yes, there are contingencies. I’ve never been one to put all my eggs in one basket.
Blue: Good, now start talking, what are you planning?
Miranda: Just for you, I'll tell you, dear Blue. The mold, it’s not just a weapon or a tool, It’s a living organism with a will of its own. It can spread its wings wherever
Blue: Really? Then where else has it influenced? How can I find these places? If there are any
Miranda Oh Blue, of course it has. But you’re asking the wrong questions, it’s not about where, but how. The mold needs a host, a catalyst, to trigger its abilities, but you need not worry about the mold, for it has been altered to.....something else
Blue: Something else? What are we talking about here?
Miranda: Nature
Blue: Nature?
Miranda: Yes, even Mother Nature can be effected by the Mold. But the two will change how things work and then create something new
Blue: Wait, Mother Nature.....is this your Sister or something?
Miranda:.....A-Are you serious?
Blue: I'm joking, don't worry
Miranda: [Sighs] Your comedy really does bamboozle everyone
Blue: It's how it works, anyways, back to that, how do I stop this thing?
Miranda: Destroy the new mold, every last trace of it. But I doubt you’ll succeed.
Blue: And why is that?
Miranda: Becasue it’s hard to spot, you won't even know it's a threat until it does its job. You may delay the inevitable, but you won’t stop it, you will face many....adversaries.
Blue: Watch me, I'm a new person now, I'm stronger than before
Miranda: Bold words, Blue Winters, but tell me.....do you enjoy this new side of you?
Blue: W-What do you mean?
Miranda: You're an experiment as you said, which means you have otherworldly effects . Do you accept this? Or are you conflicted?
Blue:....[Sighs] I shouldn't be surprised that you know, yeah I'm wary of these things now that I know it was apart of something else. I'm not sure if I even want to use them....okay, I'm still going to because it isn't that mind blowing.
Miranda: That is impressive determination, dear, but be careful. In your quest to destroy this new variant, you might find yourself becoming just like me.
Blue: You? What in the HFIL are you talking about?
Miranda: Obsessed, consumed by a singular purpose.....and power
Blue: I'd rather be obsessed with protecting my family than driven by selfish delusions.
Miranda: Then do what you must. But remember, the mold is life itself, can you truly eradicate life, Blue? Only time will tell.
Blue: Yeah, and it says "Ballin O Clock"
I leave the room as Chris locks the door, I sigh and was stuck in my head before Chris shakes me slightly.
Chris: You okay? She didn't say anything to tick you off, did she?
Blue: N-No, but she did confess some things
Chris: Does she had a plan?
Blue: She does, but the way she talked about it.....it's like she isn't at the head of it
Chris: You don't think that....maybe, she has another ally?
Blue: Maybe, but all I can say is that the Mold has a variant, one to do with Nature
Chris: Nature?
Blue: I'm not sure what she is talking about, but we need to search places that have nature, and where the mold had some sort of influence.
Chris: So like the Baker House?
Blue: Yeah, it was surrounded by trees and that, so send a team there, for good measure
Chris: Already thought about it
_________________________________
As Chris organises a team to send to the Baker House, he got Helena to pinpoint locations that fits the description I was given by Miranda.
Two days pass and I was finally given the green light to look into that flower I collected from that scouting mission. With me was Leon, Eveline and Heisenberg, who were up for the research.
The reason we were doing this was because this flower was not in any database, so it was something new.
Blue: This flower better be worth a lot
Heisenberg: If it is, you better split the money
Blue: Say less, I'll slide some cash over, you too Leon
Leon: I honestly expected you to not think about me
Blue: I was debating in my head, but decided "why not?".
Leon: Is this a new leaf being turned over?
Blue: Nope
Eveline: I'm not surprised
Heisenberg: Yeah, making fun of Leon is some funny shit
Blue: Truth be told, I make fun of everyone. Now let's get to working out what this does
We used the tech given to us by Chris and the BSAA, and spent a few days looking into this flower. It was definitely hard, which is why Cassandra decided to watch us.
She said that this was ridiculous, and wanted to know what was so special about it.
Cassandra: It's a flower!
Heisenberg: Yes, but a flower that no one has seen before! We need to write down everything about it
Leon: For the money!
Blue: Yes! Zee monee!
Cassandra: [Sighs] Men
Eveline: You can help if you want to, Cassandra
Cassandra: No, it's fine. I'll just watch.
Eventually, after another hour, I managed to have a breakthrough with this flower and discovered something mad. Heisenberg and Leon could see this as well, which is surprising as they had to understand what I was seeing.
Guess they're smarter than I give then credit for.
Blue: This flower....it.....what the hell?
Heisenberg: This is some crazy shit
Cassandra: What? What's wrong?
Leon: Holy shiiiiiiit
Cassandra: Hey! Don't leave me in suspense!
Eveline: Blue, what is it?
Blue: This flower, it has....a lot of positive things about it, that's all I can say....I think I can help you all
Cassandra: Help us? How?
Blue: Time to find out
________________________
Oooooo, what does the flower do?
Time to find out in the next Chapter!
Which will.....come out sometime later this week?
Like I said, I want to space out these uploads and not burn through everything in one go.
Hope you don't mind it.
