Part Two : Chris

Rodrigo Juan Raval's Diary

I wish she'd stop trying to nurse me back to health. I keep telling her its not doing any good since I'm going to die when I'm supposed to no matter what. I can't wait, personally. I would rather die than hear that story about her so-called 'boyfriend' becoming the Nemesis again. I don't have any choice but to just wait it out. I suppose could try telling her to go away again. Not that she listens. If this keeps up, I might just use Claire's lighter to set myself on fire. What am I saying? Nothing really burns here unless it's supposed to. Damn it. I wish Claire's brother would hurry up and get here so I could be put out of my misery already.

Chris Redfield's Diary

I came to this island to find Claire, instead I find two other survivors that were left behind. Thanks to Rodrigo, I learned that my sister was in the Antarctic. He died shortly after I found him and gave me the lighter I gave to Claire. The other survivor, Alice, was really broken up over Rodrigo's death. I tried telling her that's just how these things work. It didn't seem to help though.

The good news is I found a room with a jet that I can use to fly out of here. I could've just solved the puzzle to get the eagle plate and turn it into the halberd, then open the door. Alice, who followed me, kicked it down before I could even think about it. I guess that means I'll get off Rockfort faster than I thought I would. That's okay, I really just want to get to Antarctica and make sure Claire's safe.

...Why is she still following me?

(continued, in Antarctica)

Is Alice crazy? I'd swear she was trying to get herself killed or something. She started beating up those tentacles sticking out of the wall with her bare hands and kept telling me to just run away. Why does she think I would do that? I have to save my sister. It won't get done if I let her do all the work.

Something also must've gone really wrong here. The entire place is frozen. I'm sure I'll still be able to get around, but I feel like there's something missing. Something important. Like something I don't have because someone didn't let me get the eagle plate and melt it down into the halberd. Why wasn't I surprised to learn that Alice has a solution? It doesn't really matter what it is since none of this makes sense anyway. I can tell by now she isn't going to go away, so I wonder if she'll start angsting when we find Alfred's body in Alexia's chamber. Its not like he's a good guy. Still, you just never know with her.

Albert Wesker's Diary

Damn that woman. If not for her, I would have been able to eliminate Redfield's sister back at Rockfort as a message to Chris. She managed to destroy the scanners I placed as a trap. It seems killing him won't be as easily accomplished as I had thought. Only as long as she is around.

I suppose its time to stop playing by the rules.

Once I take care of her, Redfield will be no problem.

Chris Redfield's Diary

I think I'm really starting to lose it. I don't care if things are progressing faster than they normally would. Alice just won't listen when I keep telling her that we're missing out on a lot of important stuff.

We've already discovered Alfred's body. On the bright side, there was no wailing sadness about his death. She was too busy trying to get his ring before I did. I had found the Crane key before her, so I thought I'd get Alexander's Jewel off Nosferatu first. Until she broke through the ice and fished his body out from underneath. Once again, I had no choice but to follow her to the Mansion Hall area. While she was putting the jewels in the painting, I finally found Claire. I was relieved, except something messed her up really bad. I don't know how she ended up here, but it doesn't matter. Wonder Woman didn't have the serum to cure her poisoning, so I had to go and get it myself. Not that she didn't try to follow me, but I convinced her to stay and look after Claire.

Alexia Ashford's Diary

Our foolish father is as useless now as when he was alive; he could not even eliminate the little girl as she tried to escape. He is still a viable carrier of the T-Veronica virus, so I must not let his body fall into the hands of...

(There is a brief pause here. Some words are scribbled out.)

I do not know what is happening to me. I did not foresee any possible side effects from the cryogenic stasis, but my memory is constantly failing. There is someone after a sample of my virus, but I cannot recall whom.

I do know one thing. Those genetically inferior siblings are responsible for the death of my brother as he did his duty to his queen.

Soon, my dear Alfred. I will avenge your death and rekindle the glory of the Ashford name.

Claire Redfield's Diary

Uhh... I'm not feeling very good. Having Alice so nearby isn't helping either. She gets that 'here I come to save the day' look on her face, and then she realizes she can't do anything to help me. It keeps happening over and over every few seconds.

Chris finally came back with the serum. What took him so long? I guess I can cut him a break. Its not as if he's superhuman like Alice.

Ugh... that sounded almost like I was complimenting her. I could blame it on being poisoned and almost dying, but the truth is, she's been around for too long. That's it. Even if it kills me, I'm going to find a way to get rid of her for good.

Albert Wesker's Diary

This has not gone as I expected. I confronted that woman in the Mansion Hall. Redfield and his sister were also there, but I planned to deal with them after I dispatched the woman. I knew she would be a formidable opponent. It took a turn for the worse when Alexia appeared. I could not hope to capture her so easily and she took no notice of my presence. As Redfield's little sister pursued Alexia, I engaged this woman, "Alice", in combat.

I was not the victor.

It seems her powers are much greater than I anticipated. I have managed to escape without serious injury. I suspect that is only because I will need to return later on.

Chris Redfield's Diary

I didn't even plan to stay here after I found Claire. Now that Wesker's shown up, I have a feeling we're all going to be stuck here for a while. Claire said she had to go rescue Steve from Alexia. I wanted to go with her, except the stairs collapsed. I hope Claire will be okay, but I can't believe I'm stuck here; forced to watch as Alice beats Wesker to a bloody pulp. She better not kill him. I'd like to bring him to justice for the sake of my dead former teammates while I'm here.

Claire Redfield's Diary

I know I'm supposed to be saving Steve, but I'm so glad I finally got away from her. Wait a minute, I thought I was going to try and get rid of her? Argh! It's getting harder and harder to remember that it isn't supposed to be all about Alice.

I better hurry and rescue Steve, then check on Chris. I wonder how that man from earlier made it from Rockfort to here. If it really matters. I have this feeling that it does, but I can't think of why. At least Alice was there to...

Argh!

Alexia Ashford's Diary

This is only the beginning of my revenge. I will inject my virus into this lowly boy and watch as he kills that little brat responsible for my dear twin's death. Then I will personally hunt down her brother and kill him myself.

I wonder what I should do with that strange woman?

Steve Burnside's Diary

This isn't fair. If I have to get injected with the virus and die, couldn't Alice try to rescue me one more time? I bet she wouldn't fail like Claire will. Maybe I should cut off her head when I turn into a huge lizard. Then I could escape with Alice and she could be my girlfriend. So what if she already had one relationship that ended in them both being turned into unkillable mutations?

I can't wait to turn into a giant monster.

Chris Redfield's Diary

Alexia came back. I'm really worried about Claire now. I hope she made it to Steve in time.

There wasn't much time to think about it. As Alexia descended the stairs, I knew it was up to me to get rid of her. At least that's the way it should be, but Alice stepped in to fight as usual. It looked for a minute like Alexia might've won. As much as I'd like to finally see Alice lose a fight, I couldn't let that happen. I fired at Alexia from a safe distance while she attempted to kill her with her bare hands. It was tempting to see if I could dispatch Alice 'accidentally'... very tempting.

As soon as Alexia fell, Alice collected the final jewel. I had to follow her. Again.

Alexia Ashford's Diary

Though that strange woman may have been able to best me temporarily, I have not yet failed. I revived as soon as they left, thinking me dead. Her presence gives me one more reason to wait until they've set off the self-destruct before I...

Claire Redfield's Diary

That was close!

I can't believe Steve. What a jerk. Then he has the nerve to ask me to tell Alice that he was in love with her after he gets gored by that tentacle and turned back into a human. I was lucky; it saved my life. I better hurry up and get back to Chris. He shouldn't have to endure Alice alone anymore.

What? Who locked this door?

Damn it.

Chris Redfield's Diary

Finally I got the chance to do something the way it was supposed to be done. Alice may have just kicked the door down even though I found the key, but I still got to switch off the power, take the jewels from the Tiger statue and use them in the music boxes to get to the Gold Dragonfly. I found my way back to Claire too. She was locked behind a steel door, so I guess I'll have to set off the self-destruct to get her out.

Alice looked at me like I was crazy when she figured out what I was going to do, when she's the one who attacks things with her bare hands. I'm doing my best not to give her any credit for it. Just because she walks away without a scratch every single time...

Speaking of Alice, I was almost able to forget about her in between getting the Gold Dragonfly and going to the security room. That's when she jumped in to save me from the zombies in there. Even killed the one you're not supposed to be able to reach while I set off the self-destruct.

Claire was waiting for me outside as Alice and I left. I'm glad she's safe. Maybe her and I can get to the jet, since Alice will undoubtedly try to kill Alexia by herself. What am I saying? Claire and I wouldn't do that... and what if Alice failed? Its not like she really killed the Nemesis anyway. She just waited for a helicopter to crash into him. Plus, if she survives... that means a sequel.

It's just a little while longer. We can make it.

Alice's Diary

I wish I could have flashbacks again. I really miss it! There was a great opportunity when I was telling Rodrigo about Matt becoming the Nemesis and how I had to fight him so Jill, Carlos, Angie and I could escape Raccoon City before it was blown up. Just as I got to the part about our helicopter crashing in the Arklay Mountains, Chris showed up and Rodrigo died. He was telling me I had the story wrong the whole time I was talking. I was there, not him. And so what if the story was a little bit wrong anyway? It's mostly right since it included Jill, Carlos and the Nemesis. That's all that matters, right?

That's a really big gun Claire just took from Chris. Why is she pointing it at me? Alexia's over...

Claire Redfield's Diary

It's a good thing the Linear Launcher has infinite ammo. I was supposed to run away after Alexia turned into her second form, but I was worried what would happen if Alice wasn't gotten rid of before Chris could defeat Alexia. No way was I going to give her the chance to survive and try to rescue me, kill Wesker, or worst of all, fly out of here with us. Besides, the jet only had two seats.

We did it... finally.

D.I.J.'s Diary - Epilogue

It seems I'm the only one who's completely free from the strange woman's spell. I sensed that the girl in the red outfit knew she didn't belong. Like everyone else, even she was unable to completely resist. The teenage boy was the most easily influenced. Not even the "man" of Rockfort could avoid the disturbance caused by the strange woman's presence. I've lived here longer than anyone, so I suppose that makes it easier for me to see her for what she really is. Completely unnatural and disturbing, I feel that their effort to rid themselves of her in the end was useless. I feel very strongly that she will return. Soon.

The final battle was awe-inspiring. I wish I could've done something to help save them from her. No matter the fact that I can "see" what she is, I am still completely powerless. Maybe no one is safe. If this is true, there is no hope. Fortunately, nothing can last forever. Perhaps one day, they will be free.

For their sake, I can only hope.

D.I.J.

The End
