To be honest, I didn't expect to do a midday upload. Think I'm accustomed to late night uploads. This is inspired by Gravenimage's "Resident Huntsman" and Edrap's "Resident Huntress B".
Going through the cutscenes in RE2 Remake I didn't see Alpha Team get killed by Birkin. I think that's only in the original RE2... maybe Darkside Chronicles too, but I'm not completely sure on that or any other games. I thought about putting that in. I did consider volume 5 but decided to follow the trend of using volume 6.
This was initially going to be a one-shot, but then I thought about having two chapters. One for Alpha Team's mission and the demise of most of their members. The other for the actual run of 4th Survivor. There may or may not be a potential extra chapter.
One of the two inspirations has an idea on what character I will use.

NEST Laboratory

(U.S.S Alpha Team, J. Martinez POV)
I see Dr. Birkin carefully yet hastily storing vials in brief case with night vision from the duct above him.
"Got eyes on the G-Virus." I switch back to standard vision as a waited for the squad leader's decision.
"We're going in." Came the quick order as I see my squad advancing to surround Birkin. I readied my gun, blew off the hatch and dropped through the duct in front of Birkin. We all have our guns aimed at the doctor.
"Doctor Birkin, You'll come along with us quietly." The commanding officer said with raised hand as Birkin slowly got up with the case in his arms. I see that he is trying to avoid unnecessary conflict.
"You think I didn't know you were coming." The doctor's right hand slowly reached inside the left half of his lab coat to his waist. I'm prepared to fire in case he pulled out a possible weapon. "This is my life's! I'm not handing over anything!"
"We have our orders, Doctor Birkin." The doctor started to show facial signs of aggression at the CO's statement. "I'll ask you one more time."
Birkin started to breathe hard and pulled out a pistol. I immediately reacted by firing multiple shots into Birkin's body before he could fire a single bullet.
"Stop! Hold your fire!" MY CO commanded as Birkin's body fell to the floor dropping the case of G-Virus samples and his gun.
One of the members of my squad slowly approached the dead doctor to check his pulse from the neck to see if the doctor was still somehow alive. The verdict was that the doctor is dead. That verdict got me in trouble with my CO. "What the fuck were you thinking!? Our orders were to bring him in alive!" He yell at me.
My leader proceeded to report to headquarters. "We're in, sir, but we had a snafu. Target resisted, we had to take him out." The resistance was close to becoming a reality. The Co waited for some response. "That's correct sir." The one who checked Birkin for any pulse was waiting for orders in relation to the CO's communication. "Roger that. Just the samples then." I see my squad member pick up the case of G samples.
"Lets move!" My entire squad followed the CO.
(POV end)
Barely even a minute after the U.S.S Alpha Team left with the G samples, William Birkin somehow jump-started his heart, but had limited time to live and limited ability to move due to the bullets put into his body. He assume that the fact that his life's work being taken was the reason he was barely alive now.
He used whatever strength he had to sit himself up against the wall device that had stored the G-Virus he was moving.
William counted himself very fortunate that not all G samples were taken because he had one sample on his person. The sample's power will allow him to attain all of the stolen G samples.
He breathed heavily. "You don't get away that easily..." The doctor then injected himself with the G-Virus in the chest which caused him more pain, but it was pain he was willing to endure.
As soon as he threw away the empty container he started to feel the effects of G. He was now in a kneeling position.
Immediately after the injection Annette Birkin walked into the hall and saw the condition of her husband as well as the empty vial that contained a G sample. "Good god, William. What have you done?"
William suddenly stood up on his feet as if he was never injured, but he is feeling the pain and mutations being caused by the G-Virus. "G is my creation!" He shouted, ignoring the fact that his wife was their. His focus was solely on the USS Alpha Team. He gasped because of a pulse from the G-Virus and slowly walked forward to in pursuit of his stolen creation.
See the early stages of the G mutations affecting her husband Annette picked up the pistol on the floor and aimed at her husband. "William!" She called out. Her hands trembled. She was hesitating on pulling the trigger.
All she could do was watch William walk away.
Later that Night
September 22, 1998
Raccoon City Sewers
23:52
Alpha Team accessed the Raccoon City Sewers via NEST Tram for extraction with the samples of G and T. All of a sudden they hear monstrous footsteps nearby.
"Stay alert!" The Alpha Team CO commanded. His men aimed their weapons down the hallway they traversed from the NEST Tram. After a few seconds the footsteps stopped.
"AAHHHH!" The members heard the scream of their teammate and saw him get flunged into the wall from around the corner. He then slid to the floor leaving a huge streak of blood on the wall indicating his death.
Alpha Team consisted of 8 members, including the CO. Two were left behind in case their secondary objective, Annette Birkin, appeared. The primary objectives being apprehending William Birkin and collecting the G and T samples. If one was dead then the other was most likely dead too.
The footsteps continued and a monstrous figure appeared around the corner. It's appearance was unnatural, but it seemed familiar.
"Holy shit. Is that… Doctor Birkin?" Martinez asked slowly in surprise on how Birkin survived.
Yes, it was surprise. However, no one can afford to remained surprised.
"The doctor must have hid a sample from us and used it on himself. Open fire!" The CO commanded.
The others obeyed the command and shot at the thing with their sub machine guns. The one carrying the case of samples was the only one using a pistol.
As soon as they opened fire at Birkin, or rather G, grabbed Martinez with it's huge right arm and crushed him in his grip. Not letting go G used the same arm to slam the case carrier into the wall. The force killed the carrier as well as opened the case of samples. The top layer of samples, the T samples, fell out and broke on the floor.
G temporarily ignored the gunfire and approached the case for the G samples. Picking up the intact G samples, G ate them.
The rats near G's feet started to ingest the remains of the T virus.
"Damn it!" The CO let out in frustration. The samples were gone, his team had to deal with a mutated Birkin, and now rats were going to spread the T-Virus via the sewer system which is linked with the Raccoon City water supply. "Our ammunition seems to hurt it, but it's ineffective. Retreat!"
At the same time the order was issued G threw the dead body of Martinez one of the subordinates which knocked down the target and rushed to another Alpha Team member and slashed at him with the early, underdeveloped stage of a claw-like hand which resulted in immediate death. G then killed the knocked down member in a similar manner.
The CO and his remaining subordinate ran away from G and fire at it when the opportunity was presented to slow it down as it pursued them. They knew that they couldn't exactly eliminate this creature.
G couldn't couldn't close the distance between it and the remaining members of the U.S.S Alpha Team so it ripped off a pipe from the sewer ceiling and threw at the gunman that was not the CO, impaling him to the wall. However, he didn't die immediately.
"Com..plete… the mission… Reaper." Said the dying Alpha member.
A rather pointless thing to say. The Grim Reaper always completes his mission and comes back alive. What just happened was a major set back but he believe he could salvage the situation.
For now, he must escape Birkin.

Raccoon City Sewer System/Underground Facility, Worker's Break Room
23:57
The Grim Reaper successful evaded Birkin, but the evasion wasn't without considerable set backs. He need to report what happened. He would be slightly surprised if he gets called back to headquarters.
"This is Hunk from Alpha Team."
"We read you Alpha. We see that you are not at the extraction point. Why is that?"
"There were unexpected set backs. Birkin somehow survived being gunned down and injected himself with a hidden G sample he had on his person and injected himself with it. He pursued and eradicated my squad. He also ate all the samples of the G-Virus we procured as well as spread the T-Virus in the Sewers via rats and the sewer system." Hunk explained the situation.
"Truly unfortunate, but we can't have you coming back empty handed. If Doctor Birkin can hide a sample from you then there is a small chance that another sample exist. You will remain in Raccoon City until you either procure another G sample or obtain research data containing the formula for the G-Virus. Once you do contact Nighthawk for extraction."
Hunk expected that decision. His employers knew of his performance in the field and have high expectations for him. No matter the set back, Hunk will complete his mission. He just has to deal with a lot more obstacles. He is also more accustomed to doing things solo.
"Understood."
