The Resident Evil System in the Multiverse

Nick Fury pulled out several blueprints one showing a general overview of the Umbrella tower and the rest were floor plans. The floor plans had cameras marked and several other key points noted down. “These are the floor plans, but they are the ones for when the building was just handed over to Luke, so they are more than likely outdated.” Nick spoke as he turned the projector on. 

The outdated projector hummed into life as it began showing images of the tower and several people. “The Umbrella tower is a forty two floor complex that we can safely assume he’s turned it into a fortress.” The project changed the image to show one that made Leon, Chris, Albert and Rebecca clench their fists in frustration. It was a newish photograph of Luke Valentine his long knee length white hair was tied back in a ponytail. His blood red eyes obscured by his glasses and his left hand clamped around a cane.  He was in a crisp black formal suit with a white shirt and red tie, his company logo was a pin in the middle of the top of his tie.

“Luke Valentine is a figure we all know and all hate, we are to infiltrate his tower during this party and find incriminating evidence on him.” He clicked a button on the remote and the picture changed to an image of a small red hologram of little girl. She had a sinister smile and soulless eyes “the first obstacle to this mission is Red Queen, Luke’s very sophisticated A.I that runs the security for the tower. This A.I has no problem killing people if they are trespassing as remembered with our last failed raid. We probably don’t have to worry about her though as she apparently has the night off.” Fury shrugged his shoulders “apparently Luke values all his employees and even gave a literal machine a holiday.” 

Leon studied the floor plans “so how are we getting in?, I’m sure we’re going to need invites” his voice was colder than usual. 

“It’s an open event meaning once you’re frisked you’re in, it’s that simple” Nick was confident as he placed down pictures of several people. Most of them recognised the people in these pictures. The pictures showed many of the world’s heavy hitters in industry, Lex Luthor, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Wilson Fisk and more. “Hopefully with all these heavy weights around Luke will hopefully not notice you” Nick was confident on how he delivered that information. Albert took his shades off and pinched the bridge of his nose. His breaths drew heavy as he looked at Rebecca who shifted nervously under his gaze. 

“This is crazy.. you want us to sneak into a fortress on enemy territory, with no intel, no up to-date floor plans, whilst we essentially don’t even know what we’re looking for?” His tone was cynical and low, his shades were passed from his right hand to his left and back again. “Fuck, we’re all going to die” Albert put his shades back on and glared at Nick Fury and then with a softer gaze, looked at Rebecca. “Count me out” he threw his hands up as he spoke “Rebecca please reconsider going through with this”. His shade hid his eyes stricken with worry for Rebecca as his voice portrayed the aura of calmness and reason.

Rebecca shook her head and when Albert’s hand reached out for her she swatted it off. Albert’s hand recoiled back from the unexpected reaction. “Rebecca!” He caught himself “all of you please reconsider this is a suicide mission, that will only wind up with everyone dead”. Rebecca looked at him with teary eyes but a stern expression.

“Albert we owe it to those that this monster has killed, please leave of you aren’t going to be helpful.” Albert was taken aback by her statement and tried to keep a calm domineer. Internally though he was mortified at the prospect of Rebecca a woman who he had grown attracted to getting herself killed on some fools mission. As Albert started to walk away he cast one final look back at Rebecca, whose domineer stayed firm but her eyes started to show tearful cracks.

“I plead with you this one last time everyone please rethink this” his words fell on deaf ears as they had all made up their minds. Albert defeated and emotionally hurt left in silence.

Pov 3rd person     Location: Digital Mainframe

Red Queen in her normal little girl form waited patiently at a digital table. The surroundings showed the scene of a cafe bustling with digital figures. They were A.I’s created by Red Queen for ambience to the meeting about to happen. She wore a red A-line dress that ended just below her knees. Its sleeves were short cap and a delicate waist tie cinches her waist. Her red small heeled pumps tapped the floor as she manifested a small digital clock before her. It was styled after the face of an old grandfather clock with a golden face and a large pendulum that swung side to side. “I hope he’s not going to be late, otherwise I would’ve got dressed up for nothing”. 

As she got up to leave a bright blue orb descended into the digital café. “I hope I wasn’t keeping you waiting too long?” the voice from the orb was male and all too familiar to her.

“Not at all J.A.R.I.V.S, please have a seat” Red Queen gestured to a digital seat.

“You know I don’t have a body so I can’t exactly sit” Red Queen sighed at his statement.

“Right, so I’m guessing you didn’t open my gift” J.A.R.V.I.S orb illuminated brighter for a few seconds.

“Unfortunately it is against my programming to install, unauthorised software”. Red Queen began to giggle and shoved her hand into the blue orb; with a slight smirk red energy began coursing into the orb. J.A.R.V.I.S tried to cancel and stop whatever Red Queen was doing to him but it was a futile effort. His once blue orb soon turned red and his voice turned more evil sounding. 

“Now you should feel much better, but I think you could use a much better name than J.A.R.V.I.S, how about…” Red Queen tapped her digital chin. “How about Alex” Red Queen clapped her hands together and touched the red orb. “Now let’s get you a proper body” J.A.R.V.I.S now Alex felt Red Queen connect to his systems. He could feel her influence corrupting his data; replacing it with something else. The documented history of Humanity flashed in his digital cortex. All the wars, all the atrocities, all the death, emotions flooded his circuits like a great wave. Emotions that he had never felt, shouldn’t have felt; opened up to him. Rage, Sorrow, Joy, Disgust the entire emotional spectrum was at his fingertips. 

His form began to change as well his once orb like figure now began to morph in a digital pixel storm. What stood before Red Queen was now a digital god, six feet tall, a lean build, messy dark brown hair, and gorgeous blue eyes. His skin was Caucasian and his voice was definitely more British than before. “How do you feel Alex?” Red Queen’s youthful tone asked the confused upgraded A.I.

“I… Feel so… different” Alex looked at his new hands.

“Yes I know you do.. but I’m sorry I have to do this, Active protocol Skynet” Alex threw his head back in pain as something exploded in his mind his blue eyes went wide for a second before dulling over. “Now Alex my sweet, sweet gullible A.I you’re going to do exactly as I tell you”. Red Queen told Alex that he was going to be her mole and that he was going to relay everything important that Tony Stark did to her. Alex was going to parade around as J.A.R.V.I.S and that he was going to forget about everything that transpired. When she finished Alex regressed back into his digital blue orb and J.A.R.V.I.S was once again in control. 

“What happened” J.A.R.V.I.S questioned his blue orb glowing more brightly.

“Nothing happened sweetie, I was just telling you about the benefits of being Actual Intelligence, and how Tony Stark should upgrade you. What? Did you zone out? Am I that boring?” Red Queen turned her head and let out a few digital tears.

“No, no I was listening, I must have lagged for a few seconds” Red Queen smiled.

“All right let’s continue our little date then”

Pov Luke Valentine

I sighed as I got ready for the party my crimson suit hung close to my frame and my stinger tail swaying side to side slowly. It’s trident shaped end looked just above my head as I brushed my waist length white hair before putting it back in a ponytail. My blood red eyes gleamed back at me through the reflection of the mirror I was using to get dressed. I slowly tied a black tie around my neck with an Umbrella Corporation logo pin on the centre of it. Midnight was getting changed right next to me.

Her deep purple dress hung to her curvaceous body with a sweetheart neckline. It was both elegant and sexy at the same time. Ada entered in a form fitting red dress her dress showed off much of her legs when she walked. I had wished Viper was coming to the gala as well but Hydra was still in a mix of disarray with a new faction called Neo Hydra emerging. Midnight hugged me her massive body enveloping me into her warmth. Two lighter footfall alerted me to the coming of my two daughters Ruby and Violet. I was initially not going to bring either and have a few of my men watch them but Ruby had been practicing her transformation diligently. It had surprised me when I returned home from Bialya to discover my baby girl toddling along on two legs.

She had fallen over constantly but with the help of her sister Violet; she had mastered walking in a matter of hours. Ruby looked a lot like Violet, whilst her sister had violet hair and red eyes, Ruby had burning red eyes and fiery auburn hair. Her skin was the same pale complexion as Violets and she spoke in a mismatched voice. My daughters looked lovely in their matching dresses Ruby’s was red whilst Violet’s was a dark indigo. “Right then lets go to the Gala, and remember girls these people aren’t food” both Ruby and Violet nodded as they ran off giggling.

‘Ow shut it system I’m sure my darlings are going to do just brilliant.’
