A long, dark hallway with one swinging light towards the center of the room. The heavy metal door which serves as an entry way was bolted once- but it seems it had been torn open at one time. There are about 10 cell blocks down the thick hallway, each cell block directly next to one another. There's enough walkway so the occupants inside could not touch those walking past- safe enough. In each of the cell blocks there are single zombies. Every single one of them rotted almost completely to bone, dying of starvation and decaying of the brain. It seems this crude room was to hold shamblers for experimentation purposes.

Being very careful about her steps, Alexia lead the group through the torn away door. She took a deep breath, inhaling the fumes of blood and rotting corpses. She almost felt at home.. The occasional sound of a mumbling zombie could be heard, but it seemed noone had been down here in a very long time. They would all be practically starving. They'd have something to do at least, when they all came to smell the human blood.
Just incase, Alexia whipped out the machine gun that rapidly needed some new ammo. She could probably mow down around 15 zombies before having to switch weapons. She'd fine some, somewhere. She always coped even without weapons. The strength.. The what she thought 'immunity'..

Joe walked ahead of Alexia, trying to act that little bit more macho by taking the lead. He was holding his shotgun. He clutched it tightly, remembering the terrible things he'd seen in these labs. He checked the first few cells, but the zombies in those had already starved. He could, however, hear groans from the cells ahead. Joe cautiously apporached the first cell he heard groaning from. Inside was a zombie so starved Joe first thought it was a skeleton. It saw Joe and immediately sprang at him. But the door to the cell was still locked. However, the bars were so rusted and broken that part of the gate fell through when the zombie pushed at it. It took Joe by surprise and he was knocked down by the gate bars. He immediately sprang up, but realized his leg was caught on the gate.
He immediately fired at the zombie but missed, the bullets going stray as Joe had not bothered to aim. He swore under his breath as he fumbled for his sword. Drawn by the commotion, some of the other starved zombies in cells managed to break through their broken gates.

Alexia laughed at Joe as he took the lead. Such a gentleman. She thought to herself, a large smile playing on her lips. Alexia too could hear the groaning. And as they passed the empty cells, Alexia peered in each one, taking in the chaos. "Blergh.." She muttered almost silently, taking in each detail of every individual cell.
When they came to the occupied cell, Alexia took a step back as to let Joe show her what he was made of.. And apparently, it wasn't alot, his shot missed and by the time he got his sword out, he'd probably already be dinner. Alexia looked up at the small procession of zombies getting closer, they were very slow, so Alexia could handle both with great timing.
Seing Joe in trouble, Alexia began into a gentle sprint before shouting, "Heads! Get down!" To Joe, and lifting her left leg, before kicking the head of the zombie with such force, it came detached and flew across the hallway, knocking into one of the zombies before them. "SICK SICK! I HAVE BLOOD ON MY SHOES!" She gasped, looking down at the beautiful black leather boots now covered in a mass of zombie blood. Now to take care of the rest.

Unit .09 walked a few paces behind the group just in case they wouldn't like it being too close. It was about to jump in when the zombies started attacking Joe but Alexia handled them. But the others came coming. Unit 09 easily broke of rusty bar off one of the gates and impaled a zombie straight threw the head and swung it against the wall. The Unit .09 grabbed another zombie and lifted into air. He brought the zombie down onto the knee and with a sickening crack broke the zombies spine and a few bones. Unit 09 then pulled the zombie in two throwing each half down the hall way.

Haru watched the events with a haunted look. She wanted to see Alexia-hime perform, wanted to see the strength that she felt emanating from her. When the Zombie attacked Joe, she almost laughed at his incompetance. Seeing Alexia-hime act seriously dampened her mood. She longed to see some death. She wanted to see Joe struggle and die at the hands of such a pathetic creature. When Alexia-hime started crying out about her shoes, Haru's first reaction was to lick the blood from them. She was a scientist, however, and knew that all that would accomplish was infect her. So she knelt down and began wiping Alexia-hime's boot clean with her sleeve. She clicked her tongue and Muamasa tore off, destroying the decrepit carriers with ease. She looked into Alexia-hime's eyes, her own glittering. "Better, Alexia-hime?"
(OOC: I should mention, in case you haven't read the books, that Alexia has telekinetic powers. She can read minds, see without her eyes, project her voice thousands of miles away, and many other cool things.)

Joe could feel that he seemed useless. He unhooked his jeans from the broken gate. Alexia's near-trance on him had been broken. He felt his fighting edge return. Drawing his sword, he joined Muramasa and Unit 09 in the fray, killing as many as they did as he swung his sword at every zombie he saw, heads rolled and not once did he mess up in that flurry of blood.
Once the zombies in his immediate area were dispatched, Joe sheathed his sword. Another zombie came behind Joe, but with his fighting edge back Joe knew it was there and spun round, punching it in the head so hard it's head flew off its body and was crumpled inwards. He grunted to himself, temporarily amused. But that had been too easy, he knew they would find more dangerous infected further in. As it is, he felt he had proved his worth in combat after all.

Alexias eyes examined this new creature up and down. Unit 09. It seemed somewhat, effective. It certainly knew what it was doing. Programmed like that? She guessed so. When Haru began to wipe the blood off her boots, Alexias expression changed into something alot more serious. Why was this girl treating her like a Queen? Had she been hearing the rumours everyone else had?
"Yes, thankyou, Haru." She said soothingly, flashing that brilliant smile once again before turning to the action. "These guys pretty much have it. Shame.. We should get some more action." Alexia winked towards Haru and opened her mouth wide, before letting out a somewhat beautiful, very high pitched squeal. It would give any human nearby a headache, and attract anything worth fighting..
((OOC. I'm not allowed to have the full abilities of Alexia, as it's unfair, so I try to keep her somewhat.. Easy.))

Joe vaguely heard the squeal, then heard a slight rumbling as a new tyrant rounded a corner into the cell block. At first Joe thought it was Muramasa, but the lack of sword gave the new tyrant away. Joe took a few thoughtful breaths, wondering how he could tackel this foe. He looked around the environment swiftly like he had when he fought Muramasa. He spotted a corpse, fresher than the rotting zombies. It was the corpse of one of the security team. Joe knew they would have good weapons, but the machine gun the corpse was holding had no ammo.
Instead, Joe found a frag grenade in the pocket of the corpse. Acting quickly, Joe shouted. "EVERYONE GET DOWN!" Before running at the tyrant full pelt holding the frag grenade. The Tyrant raised a fist, ready to smash Joe back if he tried to hurt anything. Joe did not stop running, his finger itchy around the pin of the grenade. Finally the tyrant grew tired of Joe, it roared, about to punch Joe, but that was what he expected. So instead Joe tried the most daring thing he had done in a while. He pulled the pin out of the grenade, and threw it into the roaring mouth of the tyrant. The tyrant stopped for a second, confused. What had the human thrown? Joe, meanwhile, had 3 precious seconds to run and dive backwards, he grabbed a broken gate to shield him. Finally the grenade exploded.
The explosion was loud, rocking the room, destroying the still-standing cell doors. The tyrant was blown clean in half, its head and shoulders flying across the room, hitting the wall with a thud. Its body and legs stayed standing for a minute before dropping. Joe lay on the floor before standing up. "Well...... F*ck"
((Don't worry, there will be more tyrants and lickers and whatnot for others to fight, lol.))

Muramasa hadn't moved. The explosion rolled over it, blasting chunks of flesh from it's body. It ignored it. It walked forward, sniffing the air. It snapped a hand out just in time and caught hold of something, a sickly yellow rope about the size on a man's torso. The rope, however, flailed and tried to grab Muramasa. The "rope" was an arm, apparently made of some sort of elastic. Muramasa snapped it's wrist and flung the creature into the wall, where it crumpled. Whatever it was, it was sickly yellow, puss colored, and had only one arm on the right side. The face of the creature seemed melted almost, so it looked skeletal. The monster was dead, but several more came from a hole in the wall, all silent.
(OOC: Since you apparently haven't played Code Veronica, Snake, these are Bandersnatches. They are a mass-produced, Tyrant-Class monster. They are possibly the most annoying monsters in the series, aside from the Sweepers perhaps. I recommend that, before you post again, you look them up on Wikipedia.)
Haru held her ears to protect them from the screech, but her face shone with admiration. Alexia-hime was definately her. The fabled Alexia Ashford. She had heard rumors from Umbrella staff that she had survived the Antarctica Base Incident, but none of it had been confirmed. She longed to see Alexia's full power, and was also slightly curious as to whether her "kill all" serum would affect her. Arsenic was chemically deadly to any creature on Earth, so long as it was carbon-based (which all are), but she felt as though Alexia-hime was beyond it. She watched the death of the Tyrant, smirking all the while. Joe seemed impressed with himself, but that creature barely qualified as a Tyrant-Class. It was far too stupid. Plus, it didn't seem too resilient. One anti-personel grenade had eliminated it. She knew that there would be stronger beasts in the facility, and she eagerly anticipated watching them rip Joe apart. To her, he was competition for Alexia-hime's attention, and Haru wouldn't lose to a man like him. When the Bandersnatches arrived, Haru looked to her Queen. "Are these to your liking, Alexia-hime?"
(OOC: I should mention that Bandersnatches were Alfred Ashford's personal creation, though he made these while Alexia was in stasis, so she might not know this. If she read almost any files on Alfred, she would though. Also, I forgot to mention that another of Alexia's abilities is that she can choose what form she mutates into, and can mutate back at will.)

What Joe was doing wasn't entirely exciting to Alexia, she'd seen mindless moves like this before. Grenades were no fun. Too easy. She did however, like the dazzling flames of incedinary grenades when she was able to use them..
The shaking of the room made Alexia slightly stumble, but she managed to stay perfectly upright in her dominant position. She always was the dominant one. The blood and guts splashed about, slopping against the walls along with it's limbs. It was a pretty boring creature. It had no real purpose. Just a little play thing for something much, much more extravagant later. Stage one you could call it.
The new flock of monsters were familiar. Too familiar. Why could she remember them so well? Had she made them? Doubtful. All of Alexias creations she knew, memorised, down to every last cell and chromosome. These definately weren't her creations. But who's.. The smell, the sound, it was all too familiar, like they were made in her lab. But she was absolutely positive she hadn't made them.
And that's when it clicked. Alexias head snapped to the side to look at Haru, then back to the monsters, then once again back to Haru. Alfred's. Alexia remembered reading the files on them, purposely left by Alfred. Her Alfred. Bandersnatches. Hard to kill but not impossible. Would Alexia want to kill them? Probably the only monsters left created by her life, her love, her everything. Could she bring herself to do it? Only time would tell. If she was in real danger, Alexia would react.
"Alfred.." She said slowly, her eyes flickering a beautiful deep crimson before returning to their usual facade. "Alfred, these are magnificent.. Even better than you described.." Her gentle voice was seductive. They really were magnificent. Even better than she ever had imagined. Now the game was really on. "They are more than to my liking, dearest Haru."

((Read up on them))
Joe ignored Haru and Alexia, more interested in the wave of bandersnatches that were approaching. Joe holstered his sword, instead drawing his pistol. He had not encountered these creatures before. They seemed weak, only one arm and no visible attack method. Joe was about to shoot the nearest one, but was more interested as to how they attack. He found out when one grabbed onto a light fitting with its arm and swung across the room, landing a few meters from Joe.
Joe fired at it, his bullets doing little damage as they hit its arm and torso. The creature's arm shot out, its hand latching onto Joe's skull, about to crush his skull. Joe realized if he did not act he would be dead. Haru seemed to hate him and Alexia did not show any signs of fighting.
So Joe tried a new tactic, taking careful aim, he fired at the head. He shot three bullets, the first hit an eye, bursting it painfully. The second hit the creature's jaw, hurting it noticably more than the torso and arm shots. The third shot hit the creature's forehead, easily bursting its head and killing it. As the grip on Joe feel limp, he moved away from the corpse, feeling more confident. He got to work, killing many with ease by bursting the skulls, and using his sword to stab through the arm then one grabbed him. He was doing very well and was not injured.

(OOC: It should be mentioned that Alfred Ashford had complete control over the Bandersnatches, at least in the book, because of his Ashford blood. So Alexia, in theory, should be able to control them as well.)
Muramasa began ripping the monsters to pieces. Tyrant 005 wasn't in any particular danger: the attack methodoligy of these monsters was harmless to Muramasa, so they weren't a threat in the slightest. However, they were attacking Joe. Muramasa wanted to kill Joe, personally, in an honorable duel. It couldn't allow anything to harm the human until they dueled. So, it began ripping them to shreds, not wasting any time dispatching them. It could smell the next wave, the newest threat, and it would be very interesting. Even... fun.
Haru smiled, laughing at Joe's struggles. She drew her Beretta and began taking pot-shots, carefully aimed to take out any monsters that got too close. She heard Alexia's comments on the Bandersnatches, and was insanely curious, but she couldn't chance any harm befalling her Queen. She felt butterflies, being called "dearest," but it didn't affect her aim. After a few shots, a memory hit her. She turned to Alexia, a look of pure rage on her face. "T-Veronica," she whispered, so only her Queen could hear her. "It was your creation, yes? Umbrella stole it. They were experimenting with it here. Your baby..." Her hand shook as a cry came through the hall, a strangled, drawn-out moan of a cry. A smell wafted down the hall, the smell of rotting flesh, but slightly different. Alexia would recognize it immediately. It was the smell and cry of Nosferatu.

The anger and pity in her eyes grew as she assessed the situation perfectly. The distance between the monsters, the tactics Haru and Joe were using to kill them, and the beautiful smell of their dead skin. Things were becoming more of a blur, nothing seemed to make sense. There was absolutely no way Alexia could terminate these creatures, even if they weren't Alfreds creations. But they were, and Alexia felt something to protect them. But what would the others think?
Slowly walking down the hall, Alexia sweeped past the monsters, stroking each one delicately with her pale hand, they'd instantly recognise the blood coarsing through her veins, muddled in with the strong virus. That gave Alexia the confidence to know the Tyrants wouldn't hurt her.
Alexias ears listened in, hearing sounds for miles around, though she tried to focus on the nearby setting, something else was coming. Something bigger. Something more related to her. T-veronica, the sound of someone else saying it was enough to send her into giant fits of rage, but she held it together. Only her hands balled up into tight fists, the skin barely stretching over them. I will not mutate here. Not now.. She thought. It would give her away. Haru knew perfectly what Alexia was capable of, Joe however, wouldn't cope with the information..
"My creation.." She mumbled, her finger nails twitching with anger and pain. "MY CREATION!" She yelled, storming down the hall with great heavy strides. The walls shook as she bounded down, shaking her head from side to side. "HOW DARE THEY MESS WITH MY CREATION!" Her voice was stronger, more male-like. It had a deep voice hidden in their somewhere. Alexia stopped dead in her tracks in a full daze, almost collapsing on the floor. "Nosferatu.." She whispered, glancing back at Haru with a large, gleaming smile. She'd be reunited again, with the one creation that sent her heart pounding everytime she saw it.

Joe slowly stopped fighting as the number of enemies attacking lessened. He stopped in time to see Alexia shouting. It slowly dawned on Joe that she was the real Alexia Ashford. He had thought she was a pretender, an admirer of the real thing. But her knowledge and passion proved her to be the real Alexia. Joe raised his pistol, aiming it half-shakily at Alexia. She had created some of the creatures, she was responsible for so much death. If Joe shot her, he would be doing the world a favor. But he was shaky as he had read about her back when he was trapped in a lab, files had been everywhere and Joe had read all of them. He knew about her, her mutations and her 'babies'. He was about to shoot her, even if it would not kill her.
