Chrisker One-Shots

Desidaratum

He could hear Claire screaming as the stairs collapsed underneath him. How could he have let his guard down when he had finally been reunited with his sister? He had hoped it was all over, that he and Claire would escape from this hell-hole and show the world what Umbrella really was: a power-hungry organization that performed grotesque experiments on innocent people, but he had made a mistake and now they were separated again.

Chris Redfield felt one of his legs twist underneath his body as he hit the ground and screamed in pain. He could hear his sister screaming and looked up to find her leaning over the edge of the broken stairs. "Go find Steve. I'll be alright!" he yelled at her, lifting his leg out from underneath him and laying it out straight. It didn't seem to be broken, just bruised up and twisted. He saw that his sister was about to protest and yelled at her again to go and find Steve, that he would catch up with her later. That had been ten minutes ago, and he was still sitting there, wondering if she was all right.

He used the wall to get up, but had to continue using it to support himself, when he heard someone singing above him. He turned to look and found a petite, blonde haired woman dressed in a violet evening gown. He stared at her as she started walking down the stairs and strained his ears to hear what she was singing.

There once was a loyal and naive king, who wed a very nasty queen. The king was loved, but the queen was feared.

The song was short, but the woman continued to sing it over and over again, until she was on the middle platform connecting the three sets of stairs. She stopped there and turned to regard Chris. "You look pathetic." she tittered, throwing her hand up to her mouth in mock concern, "But that is how it should be. You and your sister will pay, just like that boy did." Chris stared at her, feeling growing concern for his sister. Had she meant Steve when she mentioned the boy? And pay for what? Chris wasn't sure what he'd done to piss this lady off, but it didn't seem to matter whether he knew or not.

The woman started to come down the last set of stairs leading to his floor, when she stopped and looked away and past Chris. Chris turned, puzzled, and felt his entire body go cold. A man with blonde hair wearing dark sunglasses and dressed entirely in black stood in front of the central door, staring at the woman. "So, you've awakened... Alexia." Chris' former captain, Albert Wesker, said, walking over to the base of the stairs, ignoring Chris completely. Chris looked back at Alexia, who didn't' seem surprised by Wesker's arrival.

"Albert Wesker." she purred, a small titter escaping from her mouth, "What an... 'honor'." "I'm taking you back with me Alexia. You have something I need and I intend to get it." Wesker said, taking off his sunglasses to expose his golden eyes rimmed with red. Chris took a step backwards, drawing Wesker's attention for a brief moment. Wesker stared at him for a few seconds, then turned to regard Alexia again. "Come quietly Alexia. I wouldn't want you to get... damaged." Alexia laughed and continued down the stairs, her eyes mocking Wesker. "Take me if you can." she hissed, her skin turning a dark shade of gray mixed with blue. Wesker's eyes widened and he took a step back, which surprised Chris. He had never seen Wesker back away from anyone before, especially after he became a B.O.W.

Alexia completed her transformation, in which her dress was gone and she was almost completely nude, unless you counted the vine-like things that covered her left leg and right side of her chest and arm. Her hair had even undergone the transformation, with the back part on the right covered with the same vine-like things. Her entire body was a grayish hue mixed with blue. Wesker stared at her in something resembling horror and jumped into the air, intending to strike her down. Alexia watched, a ball of flame forming in her right hand.

Chris watched in growing fascination mixed with horror as Wesker and Alexia fought. Wesker was losing, that was apparent. Chris jumped back, wincing, as Alexia's latest flame attack missed Wesker and almost got Chris. Lines of fire were scattered everywhere and Chris felt the need to get going while the going was good. But just when he had made the decision to split, Wesker looked over at him and grinned. "You used to be one of my best men, Christopher. I leave this to you." With that said, he fled out of the door he came in. Alexia threw a fireball at him, but the door had already been closed, so it caught on fire instead, leaving Chris with no way out.
