Umbrella - Series 2
Chapter 1
Nightmares and Reality
Previously on Umbrella
Alexandra Beecham used to work for S.T.A.R.S. Then she worked for Umbrella along with her trusted friends Georgia, Nate and Ash. But Chairman Albert Wesker has a plan for the Human race. Alex unexpectedly comes across a file on the Umbrella mainframe called Project Jupiter. Wesker, after being informed that the file had been accessed, orders his guards to kill Alex's parents.
Driven by rage, Alex and her friends along with Elijah and Kaycie create a Human/Virus Hybrid called T, or more commonly known as The T-Virus.
Along with T, Alex and the team recreate Umbrella as a force for good, and vow to take down the old regime.
Fighting their way through hordes of Undead and monstrous Tyrants and creatures unknown. Alex and her team shortly become separated. Georgia gets captured by arachnids, Nate and Ash cornered by Lickers, and T, Kaycie and Alex now in the presence of Wesker. Elijah, safe and sound.
Finally finding out the truth behind Project Jupiter, T is introduced to Gupta - The G-Virus. Gupta commands the whole Zombie army and other beings across the city. Being ordered by Wesker, Gupta now changes those who had been infected by the Zombie army in many parts of the world and causes the entire planet to become once again a Zombie planet.
With T being too valuable to destroy, Wesker injects Kaycie with a vial of Gupta's blood and it is only a matter of time before she becomes something monstrous. As for Alex, she soon sees, coming from Wesker's mouth - who has another form of Virus in him - black spiked tentacles. As he closes in on Alex her fate is sealed while Wesker prepares to devour her alive.
And now the conclusion…
UMBRELLA - SERIES 2
Faint voices were heard, so faint that they were whispers.
Her eyes opened. A faint white light shone in her eyes. Her eyes adjusted to the light. Men and women in white lab coats looked down at her with white masks covering their noses and mouths, leaving their eyes visible.
"Umbrella!" Alex said quickly. She pushed away the nearest scientist close to her. And struggled wildly to get away from them.
"Pin her down!" said one of the scientists.
Three scientists held her down as she fought against their weight.
"Get off me, get off me, GET OFF ME, SOMEONE HELP!" shouted Alex. She began to kick wildly.
"Someone get her legs!" called another one of the scientists.
Two scientists grabbed her legs and strapped her down.
"Sedate her, quickly!" said another scientist.
Alex saw someone with an injection walking up to her. "No. NO! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME, NO!"
"This will help you relax!" said the scientist in a soothing voice.
The scientists who held her down rolled up her left sleeve. She felt the needle go into her arm as it pierced the skin.
She suddenly felt tired, and soon she found herself drifting back into sleep.
"Keep an eye on her, alert me as soon as possible when she wakes up!"
"Yes, Doctor." their voices echoing as she fell under Umbrella's spell once more.
UMBRELLA - SERIES 2
Alex had no clue whatsoever what happened to her after that. Only that she thought she was dreaming. When she came to, she found herself in a white clean and tidy room. She was in some kind of bed, comfy and clean. She noticed that placed over her was some kind of white sheet. She threw it off of her. Alex got up and her feet touched the cold floor. She noticed that she was wearing a long white dress.
When Alex got up and had a proper look around, she realized that she was in a ward of some sort with a few other beds with people on them. She saw someone walk into the room. It looked like a scientist, but she deduced that it had to be a Doctor.
Wherever she was, she had no clue. In fact, she was confused. How on earth did she get to this place?
"Good afternoon, Alex." said the Doctor who approached her. When Alex got a good look of the Doctor's face, it was impossible for her to not recognize this person. His black hair had grown a tiny bit longer than the last time she saw him and it was gelled, and his eyes were dark brown, not red. He wasn't exactly body built, but who knew what he was capable of?
Alex got up and ran into the corner of the ward.
"Alex!" said the man who frowned at her.
"Keep away from me, Gupta!" warned Alex.
"Alex I am not going to hurt. I am here to help you." said Gupta.
Alex wasn't buying it. She knew what he was. "You work for Umbrella! You're a Virus!" she spat.
"Alex! Trust me, I'm a Doctor. I'm not a Virus, and I certainly don't work for this Umbrella. I am just a Doctor." he said trustily and innocently.
Alex shook her head at his lies. "Where is T, and Kaycie? Where are Nate, Georgia and Ash? Where is everyone-"
"Alex, listen to me, you are in hospital because you had an accident!" Gupta said keeping his distance.
"Bullshit!" Alex spat again. "Now tell me where am I?"
"Is everything okay Doctor?" said a familiar voice that was almost impossible to not recognize, and Alex knew this. There walking up to Gupta was the one man who caused terror in the world: Albert Wesker. He strode into the ward. There was something strange about his appearance. He still had the same-gelled back hair as before, except he wasn't wearing his black shades. Alex could see his light blue eyes. She never thought of him having bright blue eyes, she always imagined them as brown or green or perhaps gray. And another thing that was peculiar about him, no trace of black was being worn by him. He wore a white lab coat or in this case a doctor's coat.
His eyes landed on Alex for a few seconds and then back at Gupta. It was as if there was something about him that told her that he didn't know her. How could that be?
Suddenly something clicked inside of her. She saw herself shot forward, and began to whack and smack Wesker in the face. She scrammed at his face as he tried to push her off. Gupta grabbed her and pulled her back handing her to two junior staff nurses who ran into the ward and held Alex back from Wesker.
Something strange happened from then on forth, or rather didn't happen. Wesker didn't even fight back, nor was he angry, it was as if he was no longer evil or had any trace of evil in him to begin with.
Gupta called for another nurse who had just ran into the room, he told the nurse to help assist to Wesker's wounds.
"Alex, you have to remain calm. No one is going to hurt you!" Gupta reasoned with her.
"I don't believe any of this. Where am I? Why isn't anyone dead? Where are all the zombies and mutants?" Alex said throwing question after question.
"Alex, I haven't a clue what you are on about, there are no zombies, there are no mutants, and no one is dead. You are in the LCI, The Luca City Infirmary."
"No," Alex said, "the city has been overrun by zombies, I know, I saw it happen!"
There was only one way to calm Alex down for sure. Gupta walked over to the window where the blinds were drawn. "Look, Alex, there are no zombies running around the city of Luca. Trust me. But if you want to know, that Luca city is free of zombies. Allow me to show you." he opened the blinds and allowed the sun to come pouring in.
The nurses holding Alex let her go carefully. Alex slowly walked towards the window and looked out upon the city of Luca. Cars, Lorries, busses were being driven. A plane flew overheard, there was no smoke or explosions coming from the city. It looked real…it was real. She touched the window to make sure it wasn't some kind of projection of some sort. The glass was proof enough.
Alex shook her head. This was wrong, it was all wrong. She couldn't think straight. Her mind began to hurt. Something was wrong, seriously wrong.
"Satisfied?" Gupta asked.
Alex breathed heavily. "I need to sit down!" she said. Gupta helped her over to her bed, she didn't push him away, instead she allowed him to help her.
Once she was in her bed, Gupta told the nurses to leave her be whilst she sat staring into open space.
UMBRELLA - SERIES 2
Alex rattled her brain over what she knew. She was a hundred percent sure that she was in the Umbrella building confronting Wesker. She remembered Kaycie getting injected with a shot of Gupta's blood. She also saw Wesker coming towards her with four black tentacles sprouting from his mouth about to devour her. But now here she was, she couldn't remember anything after that.
She remembered creating the T-Virus to becoming Human. She remembered the chase through Luca City as she along with Nate, Elijah, Ash, Georgia and Kaycie attempted to take out a few Umbrella guards who tried to kill them.
She remembered stumbling onto Project Jupiter. And she remembered seeing her parent's dead bodies. The Zombies. Recreating Umbrella as a force for good. Meeting Hank the weapons dealer. She remembered everyone of her team get captured. She witnessed it all with her own eyes. It all happened…
It did happen…didn't it? Alex began questioning herself on what she knew. How did she end up in one place and then end up in hospital. And why weren't her friends with her. Was she dreaming? Or had she woken up from a dream? She couldn't tell.
An extra two days passed and Alex hadn't eaten or drank since she woke up from whatever it was she woke up from.
Gupta walked back and forth and begged her to eat something, even to drink something as well, but she refused. She kept saying to herself that this was a set up, that nothing was real, that Gupta and Wesker were playing with her mind.
"Alex, please!" Gupta told her. "You must eat something. This can't go on."
Alex said nothing and just stared into blank space.
Gupta sighed and began to make his way out of the ward.
"What world is this?" Alex said suddenly. Gupta's ears caught her words. He turned to face her. "What world is this?" Alex asked him again.
"I don't understand." Gupta said to her.
"What world is this?" she said again. "I am the only person here. There is no T, no Kaycie, no Nate or Ash or Georgia. My Parents. Elijah. There is just me." Alex looked up at Gupta who looked back at her. "Where are my friends?" she asked.
Gupta looked at her. His dark brown eyes had a glint of sadness in them. "Do you really want to know what happened to them?" he asked her. "Really?"
Alex nodded.
"Then I suppose we should go for a walk. I think you will need the fresh air for what I am about to say."
UMBRELLA - SERIES 2
Gupta wheeled Alex who sat in a wheelchair out into the Hospital garden.
Once outside, Alex felt the reality of the cool breeze hit her skin, the smell of the fresh air. It was strange. With what she remembered, witnessed and saw, she would have sworn that the smell of blood that would have been spilt across the whole of Luca would have at least been smelt for miles. But the air was fresh. The echoes of the many vehicles that passed around the city made it even more real. And the sounds of birds. Even the residents that were in their beds and walking around with nurses to get their exercises and get to other wards was enough to make this false world that Alex thought she was in, real.
"Here we are." Gupta said wheeling Alex to a stop in front of the hospital bench. He sat down facing Alex. He smiled at her, but she didn't return the smile. "What do you want to know?" he asked her.
"Everything." she said.
"Bare in mind this might affect you. If I see any signs of pain of you trying to cope, I will have to take you back inside. I shouldn't be telling you this, you are not strong enough yet-"
"I can live with it!" Alex said cutting across him.
Gupta nodded his head. "Okay." he sighed as he said this. "It all happened a year ago." he began. "As I recall, you were celebrating your thirty third birthday. Your parents, along with Nate Hanson, Ashley Lawson, Georgia Lewis, Kaycie Kidner, Elijah White and Tyrone Morgan-"
"Who?" Alex asked cutting across him.
"Tyrone Morgan. I think you called him T?" Gupta said hazarding a guess. The faces of her friends flashed quickly through her mind. "Your friends were going to surprise you for your birthday. You went to a restaurant, went bowling. Normal night out from the looks of it. On your way back was when the accident happen."
Alex listened attentively as Gupta told her what she wanted to hear.
"Whilst your father drove you and your friend's home, your minibus, which your father owned was slammed into by a lorry that was being driven by a drunk driver."
Visions of a lorry and what Alex thought was a car ran through her mind as a truck or lorry of some sort which she couldn't quite make out rammed her with other people she remembered being with her at the time.
"The minibus…tumbled quite a few times before the lorry struck it again spinning the lorry down the road even more. The drunk driver that hit you caused his lorry to overturn and exploded. The drunk driver didn't survive." Gupta said.
An explosion ran through her mind of lorry exploding, and what she remembered was that the explosion was fading away, as if she was running away from the explosion itself.
"During the second hit, your parents were thrown out of the minibus. They died instantly."
The image of her parents sprawled out on the floor also seemed to take place in Alex's mind.
"By the time the ambulances arrived. We found that Kaycie had been…" Gupta felt uneasy for what he was about to say next, "a piece of wreckage was found lodged in her neck, we think she died instantly from being impaled."
Alex remembered a needle that Wesker injected into Kaycie's neck. Could she have imagined that happening.
"Nate and Georgia died within the wreckage. Just before they died, I was told that Nate proposed to Georgia, her answer was yes."
Alex remembered Nate and Georgia were an item and that she got shot by Umbrella guards. But she survived. But on another side to the whole point, Alex was glad that Nate died happy, the same as Georgia accepting his proposal.
"Elijah died just before we got him into the ambulance, his heart just gave out."
Elijah was a doctor, and as far as Alex knew, Elijah had been an item with one of her friends.
"Ashley died on her way to the hospital, she clung onto life, she lost a lot of blood."
Ashley was considered to be the only girl who craved for sex. She was a sex maniac.
"Tyrone or T…he on the other hand managed to survive for about a day, during the crash. Most of his ribs were broke, one punctured his lung. And his heart was about to give out. I am surprised that he survived that long. He was a fighter."
T, he was a Virus/Human hybrid. Alex had created him. Or…at least she thought she did.
"You on the other hand, Alex, you were lucky. By the time you got to the hospital was when we were beginning to worry. Me and Wesker worked on trying to save you. When you rushed to us, you were fading in and out of consciousness. We barely got you to the surgery, but we saved you in the end. Then you slipped into a coma. That was a year ago. 2033. Now its 2034. You are the only survivor." Gupta said to her.
Alex stared at him in pure shock, although she didn't show it on her face, she kept her emotions hidden. But she wasn't going to be swayed by this possible lie.
UMBRELLA - SERIES 2
Gupta wheeled Alex back to her bed. On her way back she told Gupta about her supposed dream, at least she thought it was a dream. (Events happening back in series 1)
Gupta helped Alex into her bed. "It is my belief that when the brain goes through such a trauma it will try everything to put keep the memories of ones troubles locked up. Such as with you and the accident, the brain shut itself off and created a dream like state, where you are the hero in saving the day and defeating the bad guys."
"How does that explain you being in my coma-dream state?" Alex asked.
"The brain will take in the last things it sees. With you drifting in and out of consciousness, you brain held an image of me and Wesker and put us to use. Its something that our brain does to stop us from going bored, its like dreaming only longer." Gupta said to her.
"It looked so real."
"That's what the brain tends to do. It traps us in our own illusion. Its like waking up from a dream where you ask yourself did that really happen or not, its only after when you begin to question yourself on what is real and what's false. Sometimes one can't tell the difference between Dreams, Nightmares or Reality. What you experienced in your coma created a Nightmare sate, one where your brain tried to compensate in the event of the accident. After you slipped into that coma, all we could was wait." Gupta said.
Alex thought for a moment. "What do I do now?"
"One step at the time, we would like to keep you here for a few days until we think you are ready to leave. Then we will worry about what happens next later on."
A/N: Here we are, Chapter 1 of my brand new Resident Evil Spin off of Umbrella Series 2. Oh, and unlike series 1, Series 2 will be a bit longer.
Right then people, reviews, I want to see your reactions to this chapter.
