Chapter 60: The True Purpose of Uroboros

Y/N POV

I made my way through the interior of the large tanker. My aim was simple, find Albert and put a stop to his plan, whether he actually intended to eradicate all those who he deemed unworthy using Uroboros or not, I couldn't take any chances.

It was at this point that I began encountering far more Majini and kind of like the Ganados I found shortly before the battle with Saddler, these ones sported firearms, not that it made any difference. 

This time, even though they didn't attack me on sight, possibly because they still saw me as one of their masters, I couldn't afford for them get in my way or even waste my time at all, so upon sight, I rushed forward and landed a solid palm-thrust to one of them, killing it instantly.

I turned my attention to the others, at this point I didn't even need to bother using my own handgun and magnum, instead I just used the enhancements gifted to me by Prototype Virus, rushing forward and kneeing the second Majini before elbowing the third in the face, both of which met the same fate as the one before it.

With them out of the way, I was free to continue on with my objective, making my way through even more corridors and hallways until eventually arriving at yet another door, this one leading back outside.

The door lead me onto a metal balcony with a staircase heading downwards. However instead of taking that, I turned my attention to another series of crates. From the looks of things, the stairs would just lead me to where the crates were, so I decided to take the shortcut and instead readied my Hookshot.

I latched onto one of the crates and retracted the wire, causing me to zip towards the crate and land on top of it. I then proceeded to scale across the metal containers multiple times until I eventually came across a very strange sight.

What I found was a clearing and inside which was a large pile of Majini corpses, this alone was weird enough because as I've mentioned before, Majini and other Plaga infected organisms, dissolved upon death, yet these ones had been preserved and arranged into this very specific pile on the ground.

Soon enough, both Chris and Sheva ran into the clearing, I remained out of sight, not wanting to draw attention to myself. Instead I just watched the scene unfold and I will admit, I was surprised when Excella stepped into the clearing!

What caught my attention instantly was that she appeared to be in a lot of pain, clutching her stomach and groaning out. Chris and Sheva both pointed their handguns at her and snapped "Excella. What's going on?!"

Excella just cried out in agony "Why? When I've done so much, all for YOU." That's when we heard the voice of Albert on a speaker saying "Chris, how nice of you to join us. Don't worry, your mission is at its end. Uroboros is on the eve of its appearance. Six billion cries of agony, will birth a new balance."

Chris announced "Sorry Wesker, not on my watch!" Excella yelled "Albert! You said we'd change this world together, WHY?!" She dropped to her knees, still crying out in pain. Sheva turned to Chris and said "I thought they were partners." Chris then said something which caught my attention "Wesker doesn't give a damn about anyone but himself. He'd probably even kill Y/N if it suited his needs."

I snapped from my thoughts by Albert's voice on the speaker saying "Soon even you will understand Chris. Once glimpse of my new world, and it will all make perfect sense." Chris yelled "Show yourself!" However Albert just continued his speech "Unfortunately, it's too late for you, you will not live to see the dawn."

He seemed to turn his attention to the writhing Excella saying "Sorry Excella, but it appears Uroboros had rejected you. Though you have been an excellent asset. I have one last task for you." Excella exclaimed one final time "ALBERT!"

She then threw her head back as a series of familiar black tentacles burst from her mouth in a disgusting fashion! The tentacles completely consumed her body and began spreading outwards towards the Majini corpses, snatching them up and assimilating them into itself, gaining more mass!

It was at this point that everything finally clicked. The truth that Albert had kept from me. Jill was right, those were unworthy of Uroboros' 'gift' would be killed. I thought back to the test subject I saw in that demonstration and the same principle was happening here with Excella.

Again, I was snapped from my thoughts when I noticed that the Uroboros monster that was birthed from Excella had grown exponentially in size, it towered over everyone else, likely as a result of the Majini it had absorbed.

There was no way even I would be able to deal with such a gigantic creature so instead I aimed my Hookshot towards another high-up platform and zipped myself up to another high ledge overlooking the giant Uroboros monster.

Nevertheless, it was so large that even from this height, the giant mass of tentacles arose and towered over me. I pulled out my Killer7 magnum and instantly aimed for what I believed to be the weak spots, giant glowing golden orbs at the ends of the tentacles.

Sure enough, the orbs appeared to be damaged from my attacks. Even when Chris and Sheva arrived at the platform behind me, I sternly said "It's either we work together! Or we all are killed by this thing!" Next thing I knew all three of us were working together.

We bombarded the orbs relentlessly with gunfire from an array of weapons. Though we were unable to land a finishing hit, that's when I happened to notice something on the wall. It appeared to be some kind of satellite orbital laser.

Chris and Sheva continued to fire on it while I simply stared at the laser, this appeared to actually be our best bet against the large monster so I raced towards it and grabbed it off the wall before taking a leaf from Ada's book.

I yelled "Chris! Catch!" Before throwing the laser towards him, before abruptly opening fire once again with my magnum. Chris looked at it for a second before nodding towards me and picking it up without argument.

As me and Sheva remained firing on the creature, suddenly one large orb appeared in the centre of the creature, presumably its heart of sorts and this was our chance. Chris opened fire with the laser and the blue beam rained down from the sky, hitting the creature head-on!

The central core disappeared and we were all left firing on the lesser ones once again though it was clear that we had found the way to kill it. So we just kept shooting until it eventually exposed the large core again.

That's when Chris used the laser one more time and the beam collided with the central core, this time though, the creature let out a roar, the core burst, spilling the orange goo everywhere before it completely turned to stone.

We all fell into silence before Chris asked me "Y/N, why did you help us?" I didn't even look at them before replying "As I told you before, actions speak louder than words. This experience provided all the proof I needed for my suspicion, now if you'll excuse me."

Before either of the BSAA operatives could react, I used my Hookshot and actually swung on one of the now-stone encased tentacles of what had been the Uroboros monster, before landing back on another pile of crates. There was only one thing left to do now.

Find Albert and end this madness...
