Chapter 8: Sacrifice
Jill Valentine turned around to see the same Nemesis unit from earlier. "Don't you ever give up?!" Jill shouted, "You always show up at the worst of times! I JUST had an awesome, romantic moment with a man and you just have to show up and ruin my mood! Don't you have any consideration? Any manners?!" Jill continued to ramble on angrily, merely just annoying and frustrating the monster, causing it to roar loudly and toss a nearby trash can at her. Jill gasped and quickly dodged it, ducking and then she pulled out her magnum, delivering a fierce shot to the Nemesis's chest.
The Nemesis groaned deeply after receiving the bullet but recovered, showing off his near-indestructibility. "What the hell? It just shrugs off bullets, even from a magnum! Umbrella really pulled out all the stops on this one!" Jill said shockingly, "They really want me dead...." "S.T.A.R.S!" the creature growled. It ran at full speed at Jill, throwing a punch, hitting her mid-section hard. Jill grunted, tearing slightly and held the damaged area. "Holy...so much strength...." Nemesis threw another punch but Jill tilted back, letting it fly across the front of her face. She then did a back-flip, gaining some distance before firing at it with the magnum again, planning to unload the entire chamber. Nemesis got hit with powerful shot after shot as they penetrated its trench coat and entered his body. The monster groaned and grunted as purple blood emerged from the bullet wounds. The magnum was doing some real damage. "Yeah you walking sack of shit! You want some more?! I got plenty more where that came from!" Jill shouted, continuing to fire.
The Nemesis let out one last grunt before clutching its shoulder in pain, falling to its knees and then falling to the ground. Jill took a deep breath saying, "It's finally over. That wasn't too hard." Jill turned around and put her empty magnum back into place, beginning to walk away when she suddenly heard "...s.t.a.r.s..." behind her. "No...it can't be...." Jill said in horror. Jill tensed up and turned around slowly, seeing the Nemesis getting up slowly. It stood up completely, throwing its arms back in pure rage yelling, "STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!" Jill became very pale, her heart beating fast. "B---B---But how can it s---s---still be alive?" Her mind started to bend and twist, beginning to lose hope. "Is it really unstoppable...?" Jill was about to completely submit when suddenly Jill saw a flare hit Nemesis in the back, it then exploded, causing Nemesis to roar in pain.
While tearing, Jill looked up in the direction the flare came from to see a woman standing on the roof of a liquor store in a red dress calling out to her, "You're not giving up are you?" The woman then pulled out an unfamiliar device that resembled a gun. She pulled the trigger and it shot out a grappling hook that hinged onto the phone booth next to Jill. The woman in red then pulled a second trigger on the grapple-gun, retracting the line, propelling her towards Jill. At high velocity, she flew through the air and then unhinged the hook, doing a front-flip gracefully, landing on her two feet next to the other survivor. Being embarrassed, Jill sniffed and quickly wiped her tears as the woman in red smiled at her. Jill felt safe but still threatened at the same time. Feelings she had never felt before began to run through her mind. She had no idea whether to attack the woman or trust her. Jill regained herself, breathing through her nose, asking, "Who are you? If you don't mind me asking." The woman looked off to the side answering, "Ada. Ada Wong." "Wong," Jill thought to herself, "She's obviously of Chinese descent. She's very elegant and so calm yet she feels like she's deadly as well." Ada was about to say something when she noticed the sound of Nemesis's feet hitting the ground as it began to approach them. "We don't have time to talk Jill. You seem to have quite a problem on your hands." "Wait, how do you know my name?" "Please. I know everything about you." Suddenly Jill felt very violated but she knew this was not the place, nor the time to argue and fight. "So, do you have a plan?" Jill asked nervously. "This thing seems unstoppable but everything has a weak spot. All we need to do is expose it." Jill nodded, loading her Samurai Edge, focusing herself as Ada loaded her TMP. "Are you ready Jill?" "Ready. Let's do this." "Hmph. You seem confident." "Well yeah, now that I have back-up." Ada smirked and aimed her weapon at the B.O.W, beginning to unload a barrage of bullets as the Nemesis roared. Jill aimed her Samurai Edge and began to do the same, aiming for the creature's head to ensure critical damage.
"You're quite the marksman Jill. I never thought the master of unlocking would be such a good shot like your partner Chris Redfield was." "How do you know all this?!" "What? Chris received a medal for pistol marksmanship about three months ago?" "That information wasn't released to the public!" Ada giggled slyly and said, "The information doesn't need to be publicized. I have my ways of learning about people." Jill was about to respond when suddenly a zombie grabbed her foot. As she struggled frantically to get free Ada quickly aimed her TMP at the zombie's head, firing, turning the zombie's head into a pile of mush as the blood splashed onto Jill's leg.
Jill sighed in relief, her heart beat slowing, saying, "Thanks." "No problem. You can never tell if these things are really dead without a headshot." "Yeah I've had those kinds of experiences," Jill responded, recalling her experiences in the Arklay Mansion Incident. "Yeah you're quite the veteran zombie kille---." But Ada was then cut off as a hand gripped her neck tightly and lifted her off the ground. Jill watched in pure horror as the Nemesis strangled her as she pleaded for help. Ada was then tossed in the air and made contact with the electricity pole's power generator, electrocuting her profusely as Jill cried, watching the damage being done. Ada's body was similar to that of a lightning rod, absorbing all the fierce electricity as the smell of burnt flesh filled the air. Jill covered her mouth in sadness and shock, not being able to assist her until Ada's scorched and fatigued body fell to the ground, smoking slightly. "ADA!" Jill screamed. Crying at her hardest, Jill rushed to her body but something suddenly grasped her ankle.
As tears furiously ran down Jill's cheeks, she looked down to see a tentacle around her ankle. Jill screamed at the top of her lungs in terror as she was pulled to the ground and the Nemesis dragged her closer and closer to it. Her hands clawed at the ground but nothing was in reach even to merely slow down the forced pulling. Nemesis had finally got her close, lifting her up, upside-down as Jill thrashed and kicked, trying to free herself as her top was littered with tears of sadness, grief, and frustration.
Nemesis then lifted his other arm, causing another tentacle to emerge from the palm of his hand, aiming at Jill's head. Jill's eyes widened, realizing that she was to accept the same fate as her former comrade Brad Vickers. She whimpered, closing her eyes. "S.T.A.R.S," Nemesis growled, moving his arm back to deliver the final blow. After readying, Nemesis thrust his arm forward at an intense speed when suddenly Jill was knocked out of his grip.
Jill fell to the floor in front of her roughly, hearing a piercing sound. A sound like a sword piercing human flesh. After that she could heart spurting and digging. The sounds were purely atrocious. Jill turned around and saw Ada standing before her, smiling at her with the tentacle penetrating her mid-section. Blood was dripping from her mouth profusely. Jill was completely speechless, seeing Ada's red dress soaked in blood. She swallowed hard and started to pour tears out of her eyes as Nemesis lifted up Ada, turning her around to finish her off. Ada's body trembled from the intense shock she was going through as she retrieved a frag grenade from one of her holsters. Her hand then met a knife in another holster, retrieving it as well as she pulled the grenade pin, shoving it into the Nemesis's mouth as she stabbed its tentacle, causing it to release her, her body dropping to the ground. The Nemesis frantically tried to remove the grenade but to no avail. It exploded, throwing him back and annihilating half of its face. Ada was lying on the ground in a small puddle of her own blood.
Jill screamed, "Ada! Ada!" as she crawled quickly on all fours towards her. When she reached her body she lifted her head up. "Ada! Please! Answer me!" Ada slowly opened her eyes, spitting blood out of her mouth as Jill observed the gaping hole in her body. "J---J---Jill?" "Ada! You saved me!" Ada chuckled, still in an immense amount of pain. "I guess I did. I never thought I'd do something like that." "Don't talk," Jill said, "Save your breath." Jill moved her hands onto Ada's wound but Ada pushed them away saying, "I---don't thing I'm going to get through this one Jill." Ada coughed one more time. "It...was really nice....meeting you." Ada when closed her eyes, her head becoming limp in Jill's arms. Jill looked up and screamed into the night sky, "ADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
