Here's the start of another story. I'm not forgetting about The War Ends Now don't get me wrong but i wanted to do something different with this story not only with the pairings from what I did before but also who lives and who dies and who will be the villain. Now that I know Alex Wesker is actually dead (Hint hint) that leaves us with a villain void if you catch my drift so I'm gonna pick a villain who we didn't get to see much of in RE Revelations. Maybe some other stuff too. In any case here goes.

2014

Hilal Jabal, Iraq

Jake

The little boy asked him if he would keep his promise. Jake said, "Fair is fair kid," Taking a bite of the apple before opening fire on the advancing B.O.W's. He let off several rounds and told the little boy to hide. This poor kid had gone through a lot of hell because of what was going on in the country right now.

Jake had finished the B.O.W's off pretty quickly and it had only taken up three magazines. "That was amazing!" The little boy exclaimed. "Who are you? I mean who are you really?" Jake smugly grinned. "I'm still trying to figure that out myself. Listen, do you have any other family around here?"

The boy had lost his father in a gunfight with the terrorist group Anubis which stood for Arab Nationalist Underground Brotherhood of Islamic Soldiers. His father had put up a valiant effort and had shouted in Arabic about a revolution against religious intolerance. As a matter of fact his father had been trying to organize his ethnicity and religion against the Islamic fundamentalists that ran the government as well as Anubis. He knew they were coming.

He had even managed to kill five of them before they got him. He had been riddled with about seventy three rounds after the fact. The boy and his mother had escaped to the next village but now this village where they had been living about a year was being attacked by B.O.W's.

The boy said, "I have an uncle. He can get us to India. Somewhere safer. I have to go back for my mum. She's not doing so well. She's sick."

Jake sighed as he reloaded his pistol. How did I get myself into this? He asked himself. "What's wrong with her? Kind of a bad time to get sick when there's freaks of nature prowling the streets."

He looked at him with his sad brown eyes. "She's…she doesn't eat much. She was worried about me getting enough to eat…"

Jake suddenly felt bad about eating the apple. "Shit….all right we're gonna take the rest of this to her. I know I took a bite out of it but you can tell her you did. We'll get her and head to your Uncle's. How exactly can he get you out of here? I'll do what I can to help you out but after that you guys are on your own. I have a job to do here."

The little boy followed him. "What job?" Jake sighed. "I'm trying to stop this. What's going on here. It's becoming a global problem. It was starting off in the US. In Tall Oaks. That city was wiped off the map. There was also Edonia and China. Edonia is done for but Lanshiang is still around. They just took a lot of damage from the virus."

The boy seemed puzzled. "I don't understand…" Jake looked back at him to make sure he was following as he advanced up the street. "It's probably better if you don't.. We'll just get you somewhere safe. I would say the United States is a better option but seeing as this kind of thing has already happened there twice, well, maybe let's try your luck in India."

As they walked he wondered about her. What the beautiful blonde with neck length hair would think of him now. Sherry….god he dreamed about her a few times since they had parted ways. The dreams were always nice. Jake headed down the dirty dusty path to where the boy said he was living. "How...do you know how to kill these things?" The boy questioned. Jake answered, "I've seen them before in my own country. My country was destroyed by war the same as yours. Not only that but I faced them in China. These things are starting to be all over the world."

He didn't want to explain it in detail because he wasn't sure the boy would understand. "Look, let's just get to your mom and then I'll fill you both in on what's going on here. Agreed?" The boy in the turban nodded. "There is something you can tell me though. What's with these guys from Anubis? Why are they causing so much trouble?" The boy seemed saddened by the question. "They have been in the country because of the United States invasion. I understand the war against terrorism but Iraq had nothing to do with the attack on your country."

Jake corrected him. "I'm not American, kid. Their country is far from being ruined. They've only lost two towns. My country is ruined and I doubt it can ever be fixed. I'm Edonian. So let me see if I got it right. Americans invade Iraq and these assholes formed to fight against them? Well these guys are out of control."

The boy sadly said, "I know...they're destroying this country. They've already destroyed so much. Them and these monsters. I'm scared..."

Jake told him, "Look i'm not going to let anything happen to you. But you know this place better than I do. So you tell me where we're going exactly and I'll cover. By the way, what's your name?" The boy answered, "Malik. Malik Al Jilwah Sowillo."

Jake asked him, "Why would Anubis attack you? You're not American. Is it some political or religious thing?" Malik looked down. "It's because we are Yezidi. We are not the same religion as they are. We are pagan and we worship Melek Taus. So they want to kill us until we either convert or are all wiped out."

Jake looked at him, feeling bad for the boy. "I'm not going to let them get you and if I can help it I'll keep the rest of your family out of harm's way."

They spotted several J'avo up ahead of them. Jake signaled for Malik to quietly follow him, Jake's M9 ready in case any took notice. They stayed hidden behind a shanty town building, and he made Malik stay by his side but he checked sneaking a peak around the side. Three men who were not infected but were carrying Assault Rifles were approaching from the south east. He had the boy move to an alley between two homes. He heard the three men chattering in Arabic. The J'avo were also speaking. Jake held up a finger to his lips his pistol pointed upward but ready in case either kind of hostile discovered them. The boy had a wierd look on his face. "What?" Jake whispered. The boy sneezed. Jake cursed, "Shit!" He heard the Arabs to the south east stop talking and then one said something in a lower voice and he heard approaching footsteps.

They were between a rock and a hard place. Jake saw an open window about six feet above him. "Quick, step on my hand!" The boy did as he was told and he lifted him up. The boy got into the window and Jake soon followed. An insurgent came following him. The man fired several rounds into the window and Jake kept Malik down on the floor. Just then, Jake heard more firing and shouting in Arabic. The man turned to fire at an unknown target. He heard screams of pain and he could hear sickening slicing sounds outside.

Jake told the boy to keep down. He spotted an insurgent holding an AK-47 who had been wounded, the man having been attacked by a gardening tool. He had a gash on his neck, on his right arm, and across the chest. He looked at Jake and he could have fired at him even with his wounds but he didn't. He was stabbed in the stomach by one of the carriers carrying a pitchfork. Jake got down waiting just in case any of them tried to get in. They left not long after and Jake sighed beckoning for the child to follow. "Come on, kid. I'll get you to your family. It won't be easy but I think we can make it if we play our cards right."

Kamar Wadi, Iraq

Leon

Another day another mission. Another goddamn B.O.W. outbreak. Thought Agent Kennedy. A couple of small areas of Iraq had been said to have been infected. Anti government rebels that had formed during the US occupation of the county had taken power and while the military had withdrawn and had been for two years, focusing more on Afghanistan, it was still the DSO's business if they were using bioterrorism. After all the terrorist group Anubis had managed to get into Syria as well and had even started underground sleeper cells in first world countries.

A nearby rural town known as Hibal Jabal had been infected. They were unable to determine just exactly who called it in but they suspected that it had been an American. There was rumors of some US soldier who had stayed behind. Others of certain mercenaries for private armies still staying behind even while the occupation had ended in 2011.

Kamar Wadi was a bit more of an urban city and had a sizable population of about 97,000 people. It hugged the Iraq and Syrian border but also other neighbor town where the outbreak was said to have started was smaller with a population of roughly 36,000. There was a bridge between the two cities but the army and Iraqi Security Forces were deployed keeping it quarantined. Nobody in or out. The Iraqi military was supposed to deploy troops into the city if the police force was not able to maintain control which he doubted they would.

Leon was glad that this time the DSO had given him a partner. A familiar partner. He had been grateful for Helena of course when she had been there but if she hadn't been there he imagined he wouldn't have had an easy time. Sure, he mostly survived the mission in Spain on his own since Ashley was pretty much a non combatant and Ada had only run into a few times but the situation in Tall Oaks and then in China was a lot more difficult than any outbreak he had dealt with before. He would have probably been killed.

"It never ends does it? Stopped one only for another to start up six months later."

Sherry Birkin turned to him and said, "You're right. But without it we wouldn't have a job," Leon raised his eyebrows. "You actually want this to have to be a necessary job?" She narrowed her blue eyes. "I never said that, Leon. I would rather have a normal job but maybe by doing our job now we'll put an end to this once and for all. Then maybe we can have normal lives."

Leon chuckled. "Wish I had your optimism and your ambition. I think I'm getting too old for that though. All I can really do is keep moving forward. Now let's go. We have a job to do. Sooner we get to it sooner we can get home, right?" He readied his Glock 17. The thing had an eighteen shot magazine. He carried six magazines as spare plus a hunting knife. Leon wore a blue shirt and a pair of black jeans. His facial hair had been shaved off and his hair cut to how it normally looked. Sherry wore a pair of gray pants a white shirt and a blue scarf similar to what she had worn in China. She carried an M9A1. "Our guide shouldn't be too far. He's supposed to be meeting with us at the citadel."

So far everything looked pretty normal here and if there was an infection this was the beginning stages of it so hopefully they could nip it in the bud. Their guide would be their local translator fluent in Arabic and Farsai. Civilian life seemed to be functioning as normal people were still doing business but there were some Iraqi soldiers and Security Forces patrolling the area. Of course this was because the infection had not yet ended up in this city just yet. Still, Leon did not want to hold his breath.

They needed to get across the checkpoint and would have to show their clearance after they met their guide. Leon didn't know exactly what deity may or may not be out there but uttered a silent prayer to himself things would go a bit more smoothly than the last three outbreaks. Sure, surviving was always good but he recalled the bus load of survivor in Tall Oaks and wished he could have prevented their deaths especially when a lot of them had held their own up to that point.

Maybe we can actually accomplish some good this time...

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Okay so this is the first chapter of a new Resident Evil story I'm starting the first chapter off slowly. Even if some of you haven't even played RE Revelations yet there will be references to it I have not played it but I know many of the highlights. This will be somewhat different in terms of pairings than my last fanfic The War Ends Now not entirely just a little different but hey even a little can still be radically different in how it plays out.

We won't get to pairings until later. So just for a small authors note as far as this goes, the events I described kind of going on with Jake and the little boy from RE 6 who I decided to name, is based on the current events in Iraq and Syria with the terrorist group ISIS who Anubis is based on. I'm not this early on going to announce who will be the antagonists yet but let's just say they will be from previous games and no I won't be bringing back the same villains as I did in my other story. I'm considering Alex as an antagonist but haven't decided yet I mean it makes sense even with the end of RE Revelations 2. Seriously if you haven't read that spoiler already, like I did like an idiot, do yourself a favor.

Don't do it. I also forgot what the fictional two towns I made up in Iraq translate to Arabic i remembered when i came up with them but I forgot and right now am too lazy to look it up. Also I'm just giving a forewarning. Because so many low life losers who flame stories clearly have no lives whatsoever and think they can talk about my writing skills when I've seen their story writing and it's laughable, guest reviews will not be read they will automatically be removed.

I had a similar problem with a flamer on a Grand Theft Auto fanfiction story when the person had gotten unreasonably hostile when I wouldn't make her idea for an OC part of my story when I clearly even told her that while I was following a story that was a Submit Your OC type of fic, I was not writing one of them. So good or bad, if you're not an author your reviews will be removed. Used to be fanfiction just let you disable the guest reviews all together but now they made it so if some whiny mediocre author gets mad at you they can just log out and flame showing exactly how lame they are. I've had words with authors on here so have many other authors and then we moved on. We don't have some fucking mental illness to display our butt hurt to people who are just gonna laugh at their stupidity and lack of a social life spending so much time on I write on my down time that's it.

So anyway this is just the start. Later for now
