It was only after I'd left that I did not become aware of the coming changes the would lead me towards my ultimate deception, as the final kill slumped to the ground I lowered the sight on my TMP and called for evac. As I turned tp face the church in the village I began remembering those dark moments in the underground research lab where Dr. Birkin had secretly developed the project towards the G-Virus.

September 1998

It was only a few hours that my team had been dispatched amidst the chaos above the surface, we were briefed on Birkins work on the G-Virus and we were tasked to secure the samples back to HQ and to eliminate Birkins if he reatilated and whether or not he hands it to us. As we walked the corridors HK54's in our hands alert for any signs of movment through the darkened hallways we finally came across the door towards the research lab. As we sidestepped and listened in through the steel doors we heard a small voice coming from the door

"It's Sheer Perfection My precious G-Virus, No one will ever take you away from me."

Then as we rushed into the room with our Guns pointed at Birkin he quickly grabbed the briefcsase that stored the various samples under his arm as he also raised a gun to protect 'his' treasure. "There He is!" my Squadmate said, Birkin responds, "So you finally come"

"Doctor we're here to collect the G-Virus Sample." My ally responded. As Birkin backed away he calmly answers "I'm so sorry but i wont hand over my lifes work" but as he backed too far into his desk a cup fell from his desk, the noise startled the doctor as my team member squeezed a few rounds peppering the doctor with bullets. I quickly place my hand on the nozzle of his gun "Stop it or you may hit the sample." As i walked toward the briefcase that birkin dropped he watched in horror as he sat aginst his desk immobile. I Then turn to confirm with my teammate "This is it alright", I grab the case, "Ok lets move out!" As we ran back out the door we were unaware that within the doctors hands he held a syringe of the prototype sample and as he sadly breathed he told himself that no one will take from him his G-Virus that he poured so much work into as he presses the syringe into his body.

As we continued running we called towards HQ for evac "Aplha team have you retrived the sample" "Affirmative we'll be at the rendevouz point in 1 minute" "Roger!" Then out of earshot we started to hear screaming as gunshots were heard from across the sewers. "What was that?" my companion asked, "Somethings wrong lets go check it out" i respond "Over there!" I pinted in the direction. As we ran in the direction of the sounds we heard other agonizing screams as we stopped running and scanned the surronding area "Hurry!" I said as we picked up speed, As we turned into the right corner of the passage we saw the briefcase on the ground as some of the samples shattered across the floor releasing chemicals throughtout the sewers. But throught the visors of our gas masks we stood and saw a horribly disfigured monster lurking over the remains of the other members who had possessed the virus "What is this thing." It turned around as we saw a once human being engorged with the virus as the right arm grew a grotesque bloodshot eyeball against its shoulder as in the same arm it had sharp like hands dripping with the blood of those he had just killed. "Fire" we pulled back the triggers as the monster turned to scream at us as it quickly ran into our direction as the bullets made no effect. As it swung its arm at us my teammate was struck as his ribcage tore open upon impact as he fell onto his side, "You son of a bitch" I yelled as i hoplessly shot at the monster with my back against the wall. But as it was rearing up on another attack I quickly dodged his attack and ran behind as he struck against the wall where I once stood. As i ran to the brifcase and picked up watever I could reach I saw a exit ladder nearby and as I threw my gun to the ground I quickly climbed the ladders as fast as my arms could carry me. I heard it scream below me as i reached the floor and with a sudden flash of adrenaline I ran in the direction for an exit as I hopefully wished I can get out alive. Then as i saw another ladder up ahead which lead into a manhole above I lost any sense of concentration and giving into the fear I quicly climbed the ladder. As I finally surfaced above I then noticed I was in the RCPD station.

While inside the room I quickly call HQ and attempted to call but only recieved static as i could pick up only small bursts of transmissions on the horror outside "This is RCPD... Theres too many.... need more ...ughghg.........." I shut off the sound as I heard scratches from a door leading into this room. I picked up a nearby 9mm and while raising its sight in my right hand I slowly opened the door with my left as I would then expiernce a world of hurt that to this day I still shutter with thought.

Present Day

As I stepped onto the awaiting Kamov Chopper the piolt turns towards me and murmurs over the sounds of the rotating blades "Once again, only you survive Mr. Death" the pilot speaks with cold bitterness, "Always only you survive Mr. Death" the pilot continues. I didn't respond. I Diidn't care. "Death cannot die" the pilot said with a warm smile. As we descended from the charred grounds I look over my shoulder below as the once peaceful settlement was riddled with the destruction I created during the firefight against the Ganados. 57. 57 was my new number today and not one could get near me as I flawlessly shot into the mass while I also aquired the stored sample they had hidden while at the same time my TMP continued firing. My mission was to gather sufficent intellagance from those walking savages as it was the benefactor that would help realize 'his' ultimate plan as I was perfect for the job. I was one of the few survivors who manged to escape Racoon City and since that day I died with that city as only my body and once human value tredged on whith my loyalty only belonging to Wesker.

I shifted weight onto my seat as we further flew into the forming clouds of thunder. Still I felt alone. I knew nothing of life as I gave up on living and nor did I became interested in the lives of others, I was assigned to so many units and with many conflicts i had endured I was always the only one to ever come back alive, I was then awarded the rank of Hunk for the many skills in combat and methods I used to survive, however my life rotted within the black armor I wore as my vision from under my mask saw only the blood I spill. Everyday i keep on killing as my cold heart  grew with pain as I was condemned to walk the earth and slaughter the countless souls that Umbrella needed to 'Dispose' and erase its evidence as they worked underground in developing the viral weaponry towards world domination.

I was Merely a puppet in the elaborate work in not only destroying Saddlers own vision on world order but in also securing that goal into wesker. As the pilot flew into the sea of darkening clouds he turns towards me and shouts "Hold on we're entering severe T-Storms so hang on" but as he tuned backed facing the console a big bright spark of flash tore across the roof of the helicopter as we began falling. My heartrate beated fast as I could see the helicopter helplessly turning in directions but as we fell I became nervous as I saw strings of picture forming of black strange creature filled with holes shining blood crazed fangs in my face and in a split second saw a picture of a kingdom in flames, then I heard sounds of branches breaking until my head snapped forward and i blacked out....................

I quickly jerk wide open as I start remembering that we had just crashed, I saw that I was dangling from my seat with the world upside down. As I pressed the safety release  button I hit the roof of the overturned helicopter, my head pounded as I could feel a migraine coming on but never arrived as out of reflex I crawled out the Kamov. Once outside I stood up and saw the environment around me. I saw that I was in a black forest surronded by endless miles of trees in the far distance, turning back to the situation I saw that the Kamov was badly busted as both rotors broke off and looing above I thanked the tree branches that broke the fall or I wouldn't be standing. I search around throught the debris and came upon my equpment scattered throughtout the floor. Shit! I thought to myself as i had only procured so few equipment - A TMP with 3 Clips (100x), a Riot Gun with additonal 22 Shells and lastly Matilda with little than 6 clips (18x) including a handful of flash and frag grenades. As i sorted out my weapons I looked into the pilots seat and saw that that pilots face was torn apart noticing the control panel had exploded,

After strapping on the last of my guns onto my back i finally bent down on one knee and called HQ. "Hello HQ, Hunk reporting! Extraction Chopper has been knocked down and i request additional evac." I heard nothing but static. "Hello? HQ?.... Damn!" i switch off communication as I thought to myself. Just great not only has communication has been cut off but i was also stuck in the unknown. As i got up I turn toward and head north of where i had crashed and with My Riot Gun in hand I was alert for anything that comes at me, but 10 minutes into walking i started to hear voices coming from near the edge of the darkness, i stopped to listen in as I crawled under the grown grass and into the direction of the sounds.

"Scootaloo why are we here in the Everfree Forest?"

"To Check out that meteor that fell from the sky Sweetie"

"Y'all are crazy for making me come, it's past our bed time and the others said they will see it through once the Princess arrive"

I look up from within the bush and i was shocked with what i saw, minature ponies? Walking around the forest talking with one another. What The hell? Am I dead or am was I unconcious because this sent shivers back up my neck.

"But don't you want to get our After Dark Investigators Cutie Mark Guys?"

"Well alright Scootaloo this better be worth my sleep I need to get up and help apple bucking season tommorow."

"Shhh guys can you hear that?"

I suddenly stopped crawling and hid into the underbrush hoping they have not seen me whatever ponies was down there, as I slowly breath shallow breathes I started to hear movement amongst the trees as the voices suddenly turned into fear.

"who's goes there?" asked Scootaloo with nervousness

"Um, Scoot i think we should be heading home right now"

"Yeah Scoot i think i can hear Rari.......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Sweetie Belle turned towards a Timberwolf who stood behind the crusaders snarling mouth with hunger in its eyes, then as if on cue more of its pack arrived with the same look on thier faces. "AAAAAAAAA" in unision as the Crusaders screamed   holding each other as hoping someone heard thier help. One of the Timberwolf made its first advance at tearing them apart but never got its chance as the Crusaders only saw a very deep hole from the once hungry Timberwolfs head slumped down with syrup flowing from it face having been blown apart. Then all of a sudden they see a very dark figure clad in dark armor step out from the forest with glowing red eyes as it fired strange orbs of light into the other wolfs with the rest of the pack becoming alarmed on what is attacking thier brethern.

After that last shot from my riot gun was gone I needed time to reload again but was not spared as more of these wooden wolfs? attacked from all direction. I quickly switch to my TMP and as some of the Wolfs ceased moving from being torn apart into wood chips from the firepower i rained on them, I turned in all directions. As I tried to aim for headshots I turn  to see a wolf come from my left  but was met with a swinng my left leg at him. He was immobile for the moment then I finally unsheath my Combat knife and swung at another towards my right leaving a deep gash in its cranium. The wolfs would not stop, so i pulled the pin as i chucked a flash bang into the midst of the hord blinding every dog it the vicinity, I took the moment to reload my Riot gun and fired away the last of the attackers.Once the air was cleared all what  remained of the dogs were blown away as nothing was left moving. I quickly then turn to the ponies but noticed I accidently blinded them as well causing them to faint. As I paused to reload all my weapons ready for another attack, I slowly walked towards the sleeping ponies. With a knife between my hand I cautiously touch them with the tips of my finger to test if they were real. Then as i was convinced enough I picked them up within my left arm carried them into a cave I saw a while back. I needed to rest and sort out through all this madness as both forest and strangely these ponies have made me nervous and whatever lurks across the rest of this forest. Once I arrived at the cave with some thought I placed the ponies ontop of my sleeping back onto its sides as I saw they restlessly sleeped. I then took off my mask and rubbed my palms against the deep sleep deprived eyes seeing if I was dreaming but once reality hit me I was in no dream. As the moon began to rise from the entrance of the cave sudden worry came as i hoped someone would send help as they knew obviously if then want the sample badly enough. I then turn back towards the bundle of ponies and stare endlessly

why did i let them live?.....
