Chapter 7: No Future You Foresaw

Alice and Annabelle stood in the elevator as they were going down into the facility, they both were squatting down with their guns ready and then they reach the low levels and then the door opens for them.

They both stood ready, but they saw no one, the lights kept flashing as they stood up and slowly walk into the hall. Alice picks up a flashlight as Annabelle reaches into her boot and pulls one out, they both turn them on and then shines then ahead. The door behind them closes, but the continued to walk. "Alice," Annabelle mutters, Alice looks at her and then she looks back to the wall, seeing that there was a bloody handprint on the wall.

They then shined their lights down to the floor and saw a blood trail that leads to the lab, they followed it and saw the blood prints on the wall lead to a door panel that was covered in blood, what Annabelle could conclude from the sight, is that someone was trying to close the door as another was trying to escape. But someone or thing grabbed a hold of both of them and dragged them back.

Alice steps through the pried open doors and Annabelle followed right after her, then she jumps at the sudden spark flare, Alice looks at her and Annabelle nods at her assures her that she was fine, then other spark went off and they carefully walk forward. The lab was in ruins, not a soul in sight. Alice lowers her light and gun as Annabelle just lowers her gun but kept her light up. They continued to walk forward, passing the shelves but then they stop and spin around. Pointing their guns at the person behind them.

It was a little girl in white as she was glowing, they both exhale and Annabelle lowers her gun. "I'm sorry, I need mean to startle you," she said to them. Annabelle lowers her light and then turns it off. "I am the Artificial Intelligence..." she states. "White Queen," Annabelle answers as she places her light and gun away. "You're the White Queen, sister to the Red Queen," she states as Alice places her gun away. "Yeah, we know what you are. I knew your sister. She's a homicidal bitch." Alice informs her and Annabelle smirks a little.

The White Queen nods at her, "My sister computer is merely following the most logical path for the preservation of human life." she informs them and Annabelle rolls her eyes. "Yeah, kill a few, save a lot," Alice mutters and then places her gun away. "So what happened here?" Alice asks her as they were looking down at her, "Dr. Issac returned to an infected state." she states and they both kneed down in front of her. "He was bitten by a creature that had been treated with the newly developed serum," she informs them, they look away. "A serum derived from your blood," she states and they both looked back at her. "But without any samples of Project G or Annabelle's blood, the resulting infection has caused massive mutation," she informs them.

The two exchanged looks, "Our blood?" Alice states as Annabelle pulls back her hair. "You blood has bonded with the T-virus as Annabelle's blood has bonded with not one but four viruses and has remained perfectly healthy. Dr. Issac correctly deduced that it could be used to destroy the Biohazard for good," she informs them and they both look at her. "You mean our blood is the cure for all this?" Alice asks her "Correct." white queen answers her and Annabelle sighs, "So why help us?" she asks her and White Queen looks down at her "Your blood is pure, and this facility contains all of the equipment you will require to synthesize a cure." she states and they both stood up. "You mean, this could all end?" Alice states and White Queen nods at her "Correct." she answers her.

But Annabelle arches her eyebrow at her, "I hear a but coming." she states, the queen nods at her, "Correct, there is, however... a small problem..."

~8~8~8~

They walk down to the lower level and then stood in front of a door, then White Queen appears on the screen, Alice places her gun on top of it and then removes her shawl. "I have him contained in the lower levels, but I cannot hold him there for much longer," she states as Annabelle then uses one of her arms and removes her shawl and then aims her gun. Then they looked at White Queen. "Alright, let's go." Alice states and White Queen opens the door for them as they had their guns and lights ready, they shine their lights and saw no sign of Issac and they slowly step inside the room. "Alice, Annabelle?" White queen calls out to them.

The two of them stops and then looks over their shoulders at her, "Good luck." she tells them, they nodded at her and White Queen then seals them in, they both exhaled and slowly walk down the hall, they both stop and look down their left, then looks forward as the water was trickling down from the ceiling, but then something walks across the hall and into the next room. They both turn back and saw nothing was there, so they slowly step into the hall as there was creaking in the distance. They step into the lab and looks around, seeing that no one was in sight. But it was a wreck and covered in blood. Alice drops her light as Annabelle turns hers off and then places it back in her boot. They then grip their guns and then looks in the little room and Annabelle gasp a little as the scientists were either strung up or impaled, either way, they were dead.

Alice was shaking in fear and panting softly Annabelle was inhaling and exhaling softly as she was trying to breathe, but then they heard footsteps, making them turn and slowly step to the side. Then Alice turns at the sound of footsteps, she then presses her back against Annabelle's and they kept turning at the sound of footsteps. But Annabelle was in awe of what she was seeing, Alice turns and looks at her as Annabelle was lowering her gun. She then looks over as well and lowers her gun as well. It was an orb of water that was hanging from the magnetic. They step closer to the orb of water and looks at the Alice clone that was asleep inside of it. "How is this possible?" Annabelle whispers as she raised her hand and it hovers inches near the orb, Alice raises her hand and tightly touches it, making it ripple at her touch. Annabelle gasp in surprise and smiles a little and they look back at the clone, Alice lightly drags her hand down the orb, making ripples.

But then something walks past them and gets their attention, they step away from the orb and held their guns ready, the growling made the two stand back to back, eyes shooting all around the room, the growling was faint but in the room, they kept scanning and with their eyes, but sound nothing. Then Annabelle looks over to her side, Mutated Issac jumps down at her, making her smack against the ground with a grunt, Alice then went flying back against the orb of water, startling the clone Alice awake. Then they both turn to him, Annabelle rolls onto her back as pulls herself up and aims her gun as Alice pulls herself up to a knee and then pulls out her Kuni and flung it at him.

He wails out in pain as Annabelle fires at him twice in the shoulder, making him wail louder, she then looks over at the orb as Alice did as well. It starts to ripple out of control and disburses. Alice then catches the clone in her arms and Annabelle ran toward her and kneels down next to them. Issac ran out of the room and down the hall. He then stops and looks at the Kuni that was stabbed in his shoulder, he reaches out it and then rips out-ou and it clutters against the floor. He looks at his wound and it heals itself as the two bullets Annabelle fired at him, was forced out of his arm and clutters onto the ground.

Alice and Annabelle look down at the clone in horror as she was gasping for air, Alice brushed back her hair as Annabelle removes her jacket, then folds it up and lays it down. Then Alice gently lays her head down on top of it and they look down at her, the clone then finally exhales and closes her eyes shut. Alice gasp in sorrow then they looked around the room and saw that Issac was gone, Alice growls as she pulls off her coat and then lays it on top of her clone, she stops, looking down at her one more time and covers her.

The two women march out of the room, a gun in Annabelle's hand as they march down the hall, but then stop as they saw Alice's Kuni was on the ground. They then follow the blood with their eyes and then march down the corridor.

~8~8~8~

They then entered one of the testing room and looked around, but they saw no one in the room, Alice gasp as she recognizes the places. She then looks over at the table, stumbles to it, knocks over a few chest pieces and held the photo in her hands. It was of her and the man she married, the man that caused the outbreak in the Hive, Annabelle just looks at her, but then she knew that something was behind her, she turns and aims her gun, but then dodges Issac's mutated arm, Alice then turns and flips backward, missing the arm. Annabelle then looks up and pointed her gun right at his stomach, he looks down at her gun and then at her, she smirks at him and then empty the entire clip into his belly.

He growls in pain as she was out, then she shot up, socking him in the face with her gun clutched tightly in her hand, making him stumbles back. She then flips back a few times and lands next to Alice then pulls out her combat knife and they both stood ready for him. Issac then reels his head back at them, he then charges at them, but then both side step on each side and slice at his chest and then right at his back, they then stumble back away from him and he turns to face them. Alice shot forward and went to strike him but he held her wrist making her grunt loudly in pain, then Annabelle came at him and stabs him right in the shoulder, he wails in pain then smacks Alice away and threw Annabelle next to her. They both rolled and were in a squat position, pant and looks up at him, Issac removes Annabelle's knife and tossed it next to Alice's knife and they looked up at him as his wounds were healing.

All ten bullets Annabelle fired at him, fell out of his stomach and clatter onto the ground and he then looks at them "You can't kill me." he states and then smirks sinisterly at them, they glared at him and ran for their knives. But Issac shot his hand out and the finger tentacles wrap around their necks and they gasp and gag as their air supply was being cut off. They then reach for their knives but they were out of reach and Annabelle saw that Alice was going to have her eyes gored out. She growls and then pulls out her katana and cuts themselves free. Issac growls as he retracts his fingers and the two removed the tentacles from their throats and were coughing, then Annabelle places her katana away and kicks up both of their knives and they caught them.

Then Issac shot his fingers out at them again, but Alice stops them from touching them, Issac looks at her and shock as Annabelle was growling her eyes then dial and she screams, the cam then destroys the floorboards and he went flying backward into through the wall. Alice grunts in pain as she grips her head and fell to her knees, Annabelle then looks down at her and was quickly at her side. But then they heard thudding and look up and saw that Issac was walking back into the room. Then Annabelle helps Alice back onto her feet and held her knife in front of her. "I've told you." he states with a smirk and Annabelle looks at him in fear "I can't die." he reminds them and they both just pant and glares at him.

Issac then lets out a roar, tearing up the place even more and the two of them were going flying back and smash through the wall in the laser hall, they both smackdown against the ground and slides down it, cuts and wounds on their faces and Alice stops sliding as Annabelle gasp in pain as she hits the back of the door with her back.

~8~8~8~

Back in the lab, the clone gasp and jerks away. She pants and then pulls the coat off of her head and then flutters her eyes open as she inhales air.

~8~8~8~

Annabelle coughs as she pulls herself onto her feet and coughs up some blood, Issac walks into the hall as Alice glares at him and then started to crawl away from him as Annabelle was groaning, gripping her stomach. She then forces herself to stand up as her bones and tissues heal themselves. "No..." Alice states then she stood up and throws a kick at him then a punch at him and another up, but he blocks the third one and Annabelle charges right at him, thrusting them right into his chest, making him stumbles back and lets Alice's hand go, Alice then jumps right at him and threw a punch at him, he stumbles back again, then they both came at him, but he threw them right back and the fell onto the ground with gasps. Annabelle moans in pain as she pushes herself as Alice pulls onto her side and pushes herself up and then they both were crawling backward.

They both were panting as he was stepping closer to them, Annabelle hand her back pressed against the door as Alice just sat in her side. They both were panting, blood trails down the side of Annabelle's mouth as there were cuts on Alice's arms. Then he roars down at them as Alice kept her eyes down as Annabelle glares at him. "For so long, I thought you both were the future," he states they both glare at them then Alice looks down at the ground. "I was wrong," he states and then held his head high. "I am the future," he states and then the both of them started to laugh and he just looks at them in confusion, they shook their heads at him. "No... you're just..." Alice states and she looks at him, "Another asshole." they both said at him as the laser then came on, Annabelle spits her blood right at him, "And we're all going to die down here." she tells him and Annabelle smirks. "Enjoy hell," she states, then his eyes widen, the two then looks behind him at the laser.

He then turns around and the laser then formed multi-lasers and cut right through him like paper as he just stood there in shock. Alice and Annabelle brace themselves, but the laser then stop right in front of Alice, Annabelle opens her eyes and saw that they had stopped in front of Alice. They both gasp in shock as they then turn off.

~8~8~8~

Clone Alice in the lab turns off the lasers as she held real Alice's jacket tightly on her and she then pulls up the camera fee of Issac's pulse. The else went down within seconds and then was gone as he falls to pieces.

She then smirks to herself with a light chuckle, "Yeah, you're the future alright." she states and then looks at the lab.

~8~8~8~

In the city of Tokyo the Zombies were minimal, but deep underground under the sewers. The underground facility, the rest of the committee of the were converting about the sudden disconnection of the North America facility "All attempts to contact North America continues to fail." one of the men states. "How long have they been off the air?" another asks, "Seventeen hours." other answers him.

Then Wesker exhales. "Then we must consider them lost. But our plans remain unchanged. All data will be transferred to this facility and the research will continue under my personal supervision. I expect results within one month." he informs them.

Then the facility from North America started the glitch online, "Aw, you're moving on from me, I'm hurt." Annabelle states and they all look at her. "And don't hold your breath on those results, because we're coming for you." she states and Alice stood next to her with a smirk on her face and she waves at them, "For the past few years, I have been running from you in fear, but now I'm done running and I'm going to make you suffer for all the deaths you caused, oh, and a little FYI, we're not coming alone," she informs them and then pushed back away from the desk.

~8~8~8~

Alice smirks and ended the call, then the two were walking away from the table and over to the glass window. The Clone Alice stood in front of the glass next to them as he was gripping the coat tightly in her hands.

Annabelle looks at her and gently placed her hand on her shoulder, she gasps and then looks at her, Annabelle smiles and nods at her. Clone Alice nods at her and looks back at the glass. Then Annabelle looks back at the real Alice and she looks at her, they both nodded at each other and look out at the glass.

There was not one, not two, not ten, not even twenty, but thousands of clone Alices that stretch out for miles, some of them were still asleep as the others were fluttering awake in the orbs of water and tries to break free, Annabelle pulls out a smoke and lights then exhales. "We have a lot of work to do."
