Just as planned, the soldiers were killed. Just as the chopper lifted off, Amanda dropped off an orbed and leaned against the seat to relax. “Zone 832…It’s in Florida. That’s our destination. A couple hours from here there is an ARC checkpoint. Thankfully, due to the leak of Vespertine there aren’t any soldiers. We’ll switch there because I don’t believe that a helicopter will last enough.” Amanda reached for a pack of smokes in her pocket and realized that she had left the pack at the tower. “God…”
When they arrived at the checkpoint, Amanda was proved right and they quickly got onto a plane. Zomboss, being unable to fit through the cockpit doors decided to ruin a few seats in the passenger areas and sit down, which left the flying to Amanda. Expecting this, Amanda got into the seat before he had even tried ruining the doors and with a little effort she managed to get the plane up in the air.
The trip took hours, but when they reached the zone she circled above looking for anything she could land on. Eventually, she spotted an old free way and made a landing. It was a bumpy one, but the landing was a lot better than the crash landing she made in Raccoon. This had to be one of her better landings. Taking her case, she got off of the plane and looked around. They were a little off from the meeting point, but that was alright. They could walk.
Amanda lowered the case to the ground and used some extra pieces of cloth to help her carry the case like a bag. That way her free hand could hold her handgun. “Zomboss…” Still it was a ridiculous name, but she didn’t know what to call him. Remembering where she had landed and a view of the land from the sky, she walked toward the direction of the meeting point.
Realizing that this zone also included the hive, she hoped that they wouldn’t send out anyone. It was an hour or so before they reached the spot they were to meet the informant, but when they arrived Amanda was quick to aim her gun. “Douglas?” She called out as she approached the small makeshift camp. “Douglas?” Amanda heard a grunt and out of a tent a man with a brown caterpillar of a moustache appeared. “Little Amanda…” He grinned at her. “You’re quite the talk of ARC. Don’t look at me like that. Who’s your friend?”

Zomboss relaxed in the plane until they had quite the landing, unfortunately he didn't have any seat belt on and he left a slight dent in the side of the plane with his body, he wasn't hurt but the plane certainly didn't agree. Once out they found themselves walking. "I could take you for a ride, baby." He said and pointed back at the rocket pack, Amanda didn't seem to agree so they continued on until they hit the area Amanda wanted to be. She called out for someone and Mr. Moustachio presented himself from inside a tent. Zomboss snickered at the "Little Amanda" comment then she was asked who he was, Zomboss took it upon himself to speak first. "I'm her knight in shining black armor, aint that right, baby?"

“A mercenary.” She said to Douglas, unfazed by Zomboss’ words. “And you told me you had information. I want it now.” Douglas grinned at her and laughed. “Ok, ok. You know you became everything he wanted you to be and there are people who support you and more who fear you…Hey, Don’t look at me like that. I’ll cut to the chase. Bad news or good news?” There was a pause and no response from Amanda. “Bad news… Vespertine isn’t the only thing that leaked. I heard some CEDA branch got a hold of some of the data. Not all of it to copy but enough to get interested. Who knows who else? If they got it then I’m guessing others. Hell, I contacted you with an encrypted line just in case. Say what’s a woman from the new exec.branch doing on her lonesome?” Amanda just stared at him. “Ok, continuing on. Good news. The idiot you are looking for is holed up in exec. Camp. He doesn’t think you have the guts to send people to kill him and he’s got heavy security.”
At that, Amanda chuckled. “Vespertine infected guards?” Douglas nodded even though he didn’t get the joke. “What has been leak isn’t the final product. Heavily flawed. The project was put on hold along with others…I was collecting data.” The man looked at the case and sighed. “It shouldn’t be too hard to rid of that base of his guards. What else should I know?”
“Hold on, data?” Douglas pointed to the case and Amanda nodded. “You can’t be screwing with the laws of nature again.” He paused and shook his head. “I know you wouldn’t put it that way, but seriously kid, what the hell are you doing?”
“What else should I know?” She asked while looking at the makeshift camp.
“Jesus Christ, kid… Damn… Last I heard, she was with an ARC convoy. Headed where I don’t know…Hey, what are you doing, Little Amanda?” Douglas held his hands up in defense as Amanda played with her gun. Even if the woman’s arm was broken, she was still quite threatening. “Ok, ok, I’ll tell you something else then. This leak is huge in ARC. The bastards got it spread in the camps. It ain’t as contained as they’ve been saying.” Douglas looked at Zomboss and stepped back, afraid.
Amanda shot Douglas in the leg and watched in silence. He bit his own tongue hard enough to make it bleed. “You didn’t expose much when you contacted me, but how dare you contact anyone else without my order. Especially with the way you did.” Holding his leg the man backed way again. He opened his mouth to apologize but she shot him again. This time it was in the other leg and he fell back. “You’ve just made it harder for me, Douglas.” She aimed her gun for the man’s head.
“I thought you wanted information.” He shielded his face. “I did get you it. I used an encrypted line. And who the hell are you to talk shit? You’re only asking for information and you’re just fucking kid!” Amanda smiled at him. “Don’t underestimate me.” She began, “I’ve achieved more than you will ever achieve, Douglas, and I’m only getting started.” Douglas tried using his arms to drag himself away. “You’re worst than him! He would never do this!” She placed her boot on his back. “Don’t be optimistic.”
A small poof was heard and the sound of boots followed. Amanda pulled the side of the tent up and broke an opening so she wouldn’t have to crawl. Inside, she discovered supplies and the man’s little comm. base. She took a few more clips of ammo and took another silenced weapon, seeing that the man had snuck onto this land. After she was done collecting a few supplies, she placed them into a makeshift sack and rigged the technology.
Exiting the tent, she turned her attention toward Zomboss. “Are you going to keep on following me?” She asked, remembering that he told her he would leave whenever. “I’m heading to the new Headquarters. If you feel like slaughtering ‘super soldiers’…” ARC’s current definition of super soldiers was pathetic to her. They weren’t her soldiers and it was all because someone had tampered with the project. She was going to hurt them and then reclaim control. “…then you can come with me. They’re not that hard to kill, but you might enjoy cutting them.”

Zomboss watched the scene, smiling behind his mask at Amanda. She was so strong, so cold. If only he could have a piece of that ass he'd tattoo himself to remind him of it. She then asked if he was going to continue following her. "What, and miss out on that ass? Damn. 'Sides, attacking a base sounds fun to me. Super soldiers aint got nothin' on a REAL soldier." Both the battering ram on his left hand and the blade on his right went out to prove his point. "Lets go get freaky!"

Travelling to the base took days. It probably would have taken less time if Amanda had agreed to let him help her, but she didn’t need it. Finally arriving with the help her legs and a few cars and motorcycles, she stopped at a distance safe enough for her. Seeing the possibilities of what the man could do and deciding all of them would aid her in some way or another, she simply told him to go. Without much warning the man charged like a pissed of rhino on steroids.
Surprised at the mess, he was making she thought to herself of how useful he was being, and thanks to his mess, trying to enter the base wouldn’t be hard at all. If anything, the only resistance she faced was a body part here and there attempting to trip her every now and then. Amanda had entered the base through the hole in the wall casually. If there were any people alive who stared at her, some might say that she fit well with the picture, but Amanda wouldn’t. She would tell them that she just enjoyed how easy this was.
Entering the science branch of the headquarters, she found that most of the HQ was now in lockdown. However with her clearance, she was able to get in with no problem. Her footsteps echoed in the hallways as she walked through and it gave an eerie feeling to the place. It was clean, sterile, and white. Having been in the field for so long, she dragged a little color from the outside world with her. Of course as she got farther in, they faded.
Now, now….Where would the bastard be?
She looked up at a sign and pushed open a door into a lab. Aiming her gun around, she found no threat to shoot at. “Next lab…” She moved across the room and tried the knob. Locked. She walked out into the hallway and tried the next. “It’s empty here…” She noted and tried checking the next lab.

When told to go, Zomboss rushed forward, ramming two of the guards, sending one face down, head splattering on the pavement under Zomboss' palm. The second one was thrown into another gentleman, similar to the scene at the helicopter depot. When the ground busted near him, Zomboss looked up and pulled out his pistol and fired, taking out the guard in one of the towers. A line of guards readied their weapons beside the main building. Zomboss leaned forward and engaged his rocket pack, ramming the group, taking two with him straight through the wall, busting a hole into it. From there on he began disassembling soldiers that didn't want to die easily. Throwing pieces around, using one of the men's arm as a bat for one of the other guys then throwing him straight through a window. "This all you got you supah crackas!?" He shouted and rushed another small group. His work wont be done for quite a bit. He busted through another wall and found himself outside. He side stepped left and right as he ran for another of the towers, the sniper couldn't get a good shot, even though the target was large. It was too late now, The large figure went soaring into the air, aiming for the tower, all the guard could remember from this life, is two arms pulling at his head and legs, ripping him in two. "HAHAHA! NONE OF YOU BITCHES GOT ANYTHIN ON THIS! YOU ARE FACTORY MADE, MY SHIT IS CUSTOM!"
Four of the alleged super soldiers released the safeties off their weapons in synch. Cameras told them that an undesirable was approaching the lab they were in. They would ambush her when she entered in. One of them stood half the size of the other three, unlike the other three the barrel didn't wander for a second. Electronic commands blazing through his brain, he had no choice but to comply, and take out the one about to enter.

Amanda smiled up at a camera before shooting it to disable it. She checked around and disabled anything else that she thought would ‘hinder’ her. She pushed open the door and took a peek in, seeing four of the super soldiers. That wasn’t good. Amanda rolled in an emp orb and timed it for five seconds. It sent an emp wave in the room as soon as the time was up and it shut down the whole lab. The bodies of three of the guards fell down, but she saw that one was still standing.
“An older model…” Amanda took cover behind a table. She took another good look and noticed the soldier’s size. There was only one that she remembered having that size. “Vincent?” She asked while wondering whether or not to move in. After taking a look at her arm, she decided to stay where she was. Moving was already hard enough with a broken arm in a makeshift sling. “Vincent?” She asked again.
When she started the program, she had named the first Vespertine infected Vincent. The host was only a child when the parasite took hold of the body. “It’s me, Amanda…” She slowly got up from behind the table and looked at the small sized soldier. Not a fan of guns being pointed at her, she cautiously approached.

The emp orb exploded, sending a shock wave that made the other three fall to the floor, instantly dead. The child, though, dropped his gun, screaming loudly and clutching his head. The pain quickly left him as he was able to stay standing. When the woman walked out of her hiding spot, he fell to his knees, panting. The masked looked up when the familiar name was heard. "A-Amanda..." He paused to breath. "Control room, B. Ahh!" He clutched his head, his hand reaching for his assault rifle. "Go.. Hurry! I'll... Lead... AHH!" He grabbed the gun and aimed it at Amanda but immediately the hand began banging the gun on the ground. "GO!" He was losing control again. In a second he'll be looking to kill her again. As the orders came through from the control room, he heard more orders come through. These ones were from the woman that Vincent used to talk to Amanda about. The one wanting him to do terrible things. Amanda had left the room, Vincent stood up with his gun in hand. He knew what he had to do, he readied the gun and turned to where Amanda had ran, he had to kill her.

Amanda jumped over a table and sprinted out of the door. “Fucking arm…” She slid across the hallway floor and into the wall before sprinting down the hall. Behind her, she could hear a child’s footsteps coming after her. It didn’t take long for her to find the control room and Amanda, not bothering to slow down, ran through the door. Giving herself a few set of bruises, she managed to get the door to swing open. “Hello, Willis, I’m Doctor Amanda Masters.”
The cameras on the screens switched and one revealed the hallway Amanda had just been in. Willis had missed her by a second. Having already heard the door closed, he knew that it was only her and him in the room. “S-s-so you gonna kill me?” He heard a chuckle behind him and wiggled in his seat. Uh-oh. Was he getting turned on by this? But then again she did look pretty on the screen. “Th-then what’re you going to do?”
Amanda stared at him. So his types still existed in this word. “I have a silenced weapon with me. So if I shoot you no one will know for a bit and no one will probably care. Not much to care about.” She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. Willis jumped a bit but she didn’t mind it and placed her gun against his head. “Help me disconnect Vincent and you may live.”
“Z-zero zero one?”
“Oh yeah…”
“Y-yes ma’am…” Willis began to input another order, but he felt the woman’s grip on him tighten. He deleted the order and now really worked on disconnecting Vincent. Oh, how firm the doctor was being on him. If only she could clutch his dick in the same way. Oh man, that would be a dream. Willis wiggled again, feeling more wetness in his pants. He was getting too excited. Damn, he needed to focus. He didn’t want to die.

Vincent continued in pursuit, suddenly in the middle of the hall, his mind blanked. The gun dropped to the floor and he stood there like a husk, staring out into space. Then his own thoughts ran through his mind. He screamed. It was like taking out someone's nervous system then forcing it back in. Why was he given pain and emotion? He panted then picked up the assault rifle from the floor, he ran for the room and opened it. He pushed past Amanda who was about to exit. He took a nearby phone and shoved into the back of the nerd's head, knocking him out cold. What's to stop him from killing him? Vincent raised his assault rifle to deal a quick and easy shot but the mussel went to the ceiling. Vincent gasped and looked at Amanda. "Why? I need it!" He shouted at her but she said he'd end up being useful. "But-" She was firm with him and he nodded. He lowered the gun and took off that damn helmet. Short brown hair, messy from the helmet. He looked up at her. There was silk scar on his cheek and spatters of blood, his eyes were red, a side effect to being the first. He ran a hand across his cheek and the silk went with it, producing normal skin under it. Amanda should have guessed blood vessels may have busted out when the emp orb was thrown. "You're after Terrence... Aren't you?" He said as he left the room with Amanda. He was still breathing hard, it was a real pain on him being through the emp then being disconnected from the system. "I know where he is... He only stays in one place. Come on..." He said and beckoned her forth, running casually down the hall. More crashes from outside, what was being broken this time? "Did you bring an army with you? To take down exec. You're crazy." He said with a chuckle. He stopped running and began rubbing at his eyes. This was a usual occurrence. "Damn." He continued down the hall to the door of a room Amanda would recognize. The largest laboratory, the place she was once in charge of. "He's in here..."

Amanda saw Vincent enter and quickly she turned back. Just as he shot, she pulled him back, making him miss the shot. He yelled at her but she shook her head. “He will be useful.” The boy tried again, but she simply repeated what she thought about it. As they left the room, he followed her and she noticed the scars. At first she didn’t say anything, but when his pain started to show threw she said it. “I’m sorry, Vincent. I hurt you…” Unlike the others, her voice was less cold, but she wasn’t sure if it mattered to the boy. He quickly asked if she was after Terrence. “I am…”
Without wasting time, the boy led her down a hall and she followed close behind him. While she followed he asked a question about an army and Amanda took the time to chuckle a bit. “An army? Where would I get an army in this age and time?” Her power had been stripped by that scientist and she was angry. He was the hand that took away everything of hers. “I brought a very useful mercenary…” She told the Vespertine infected truthfully.
Eventually, they arrived at the laboratory door and memories of the place came back. She frowned and swung the door open. Aiming her weapon, she saw that no one but a single white coated scientist was in the room. She remembered that he was the type of person who didn’t like distractions near him. “Why, hello…” The coated scientist said. “Doctor…I didn’t think you’d make it.” He stood up and backed away from the microscope he had been looking at. “What brings you here, dear…?”
Amanda kept her gun aimed. “You know why I’m here, Terrence…” She heard the man chuckle before he pulled out his own handgun. Amanda quickly slid and ducked behind yet another lab table for cover. She peeked over the corner, but quickly hid again as Terrence fired his weapon. Glass shattered above her and what followed after was the sound of Terrence running away. “Shit…” She got up from her hiding spot and chased after him.
The chase went through the halls and up the stairs. Eventually she had him cornered at the edge of the roof. “You won’t shoot me…” He said. Terrence grinned, still holding his own weapon. “Aren’t I useful to you? I worked with your mentor, remember? He was a great man…” Slowly, the man got away from the edge. “I could teach you what he couldn’t.” Amanda wasn’t convinced. “Give me the data or I really will shoot.” She wasn’t going to lower herself to work under a man who had used to work for her. “Give me the code.”

Vincent took cover when Amanda did and the gunshots rang out, he looked at her but she wasn't going to kill him. She wanted something. Vincent followed them up to the roof where two guns were now aimed at Terrance. A large thump and Vincent turned to see the hunk of a man. Seeing that the boy wasn't aiming the gun at Amanda and Amanda wasn't worried about him, Zomboss walked passed the boy. "The sexy bitch in front of you just gave you a fucking order." Zomboss growled, his blade out and his whole armor bloody as hell. "Nobody said you'd die when we hurt you. Save yourself the anal probing." Vincent looked up at the hunk, a strike of fear from him. Damn emotions, luckily he seemed to be on their side. Vincent aimed his gun back on Terrence. "Do it doctor!" Vincent growled. Three very dangerous individuals were now trained on the man. This could make a T-Rex shit himself.

“Is this one of your newer projects?” Terrence said, staring at the new addition to the roof. The thing was big and intimidating and covered with his soldiers’ blood. If this was one of her experiments then she had just outdid herself. The doctor sighed and looked at the three. “I suppose I lose then…” He dropped his gun and raised his hands to the air. “I give up… I’ll give the code.” He raised his hands to the air and led them down the stairs. Even though he was playing it cool, he was afraid of the three. He could have handled Amanda on his own, but seeing that hulk settled it.
Amanda followed Terrence in silence with her gun still aimed to him. Eventually he lead them to the center of the science building. She watched as Terrence inputted his code and scanned his hand to open the door into a large room. The room kept items of importance safely and away from unwanted hands. Amanda stepped inside and saw the man input a code into safe in the wall. He opened it and pulled out small disk. “Here…” He called and held it out to her.

As Terrence held out the code his body suddenly flinched. Blood spray lathered in Amanda's face, she may have felt something hit her arm, it was in fact a chunk of spinal cord. Through the man's chest was a black fist, it was like something you'd see in Alien. Before they could react the body was thrown off to the side. The disk sat at Amanda's feet who obviously quickly picked it up.
There he stood, black trench coat down to his knees. Black glasses, slicked back blond hair. Both Amanda and Zomboss couldn't help but take a step back. Vincent was just confused. "Hello again, Amanda Masters." His voice was calm and creepily polite. "I'm afraid I'm going to need that disk. If you would be so kind." He held out his gloved hand, Zomboss pushed Amanda behind him. "You're going to have to go through me, bitch." Wesker chuckled and adjusted his sunglasses. "Fine." He rushed at Zomboss in a blur, Zomboss reacted with a punch which obviously missed. Wesker grabbed the large arm and twisted it then kicked Zomboss, the hunk of metal flew into the wall, crashing against other materials some people would find important. Vincent began firing at Wesker, the man blurred around, dancing in a blink of an eye, dodging every shot. He then rushed at Vincent, grabbed the gun, broke it in two and used the barrel to impale the boy. Then he threw him by Zomboss, gasping and trying to pull the gun out of his belly. Wesker smiled and turned to Amanda, walking ominously towards her. Zomboss engaged his rockets and rushed at Wesker with a punch that amazingly landed. Wesker shook his head. "Tch..." With a single punch, he left a good dent in Zomboss' armor and sent him flying yet again. A bullet lodged itself in Wesker's shoulder. He flinched and looked at Vincent who had successfully pulled the gun out of himself and had drawn his pistol. "Aha! This must be a subject of yours." Vincent continued to fire, Wesker dodged the bullets until the clip was empty, then Wesker grabbed the boy by the throat and lifted him easily. He looked at Amanda and readied his fist which lunged itself into the boy, breaking the silk threading and reopened the hole. "Why don't you die?" He said enthused. Zomboss tried another charge but Wesker threw the boy at him. Zomboss leaped over the boy and tried to attack Wesker again. This was boring Wesker, he grabbed the man's large leg and began twirling before launching him. Zomboss went through two walls and was at the moment, out of the fight. With Vincent in a mangled shape and Zomboss dented to hell and suffering a mild concussion, it was just down to Wesker and Amanda. Wesker walked towards her, his hand out again, Amanda didn't seem confident enough to put up a fight and handed him the disk. "Smart choice. You'll be useful later. I would reconsider who you work with. Now if you'll excuse me." That said, he was gone in a blur. Vincent groaned as the threading went over his chest again. "Who... Was that....?"

Amanda would never see that data again and it infuriated her, but her expression kept calm. Wesker had left her with chilling words and when he had said it she actually shook from the cold. Knowing that she probably would never get it back, she sighed and looked to Zomboss and Vincent. Wesker was a step above humanity, a monster, and she found it interesting that he came all by himself. “If you want to do it right, then do it yourself…” She muttered to herself, wiping the blood from her face. She looked at her clothes and sighed again at the blood.
She helped Vincent up, hoping that Wesker wouldn’t return. “Albert Wesker. He was once connected to Umbrella… Are you alright?” There wasn’t much else she could say about him. Her father and mother never knew much about the man’s character and her mentor didn’t bother either, but what she did know was that the man was dangerous. Troubled by what she already knew she pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed once again. “Ok…Lets go check on Zomboss…”
Hoping that the tank wasn’t too damaged, she stepped over debris and finally found the man sprawled on the ground. “Are you awake?” She asked while lightly kicking the side of his armor. “If you’re dead then that’s a shame.” Amanda turned and looked back at the room, wondering about the other important things. Leaving him for just a moment, she opened the damage safes and looked for anything of interest. “Ah…”
