The cargo hatch opened and the three canines were blinded by the intense sunlight.

"Man, I guess all that time underground didn't help!" Hunter laughed.

The other two just chuckled and all three stepped out of the plane.

"Greetings Commander Redfield, the captain has been eagerly expecting your arrival. You too Road Rovers, it's a pleasure." the soldier said shaking all their paws.

Keith looked around, they were in the middle of the outback, with the typical arid scenery. The base itself was completely outdoors, green tents strung across the area surrounded by an electrified fence. The soldier had the typical soldier look crew cut, built, camo, you know that kind of stuff.

"Where is the captain?" Keith asked.

"In his tent with Lieutenant Valentine, they're still cleaning up from that mess at the Russian base. Come, I'll take you to them." the soldier replied.

Keith nodded and motioned for the two Rovers to follow him, he could tell they were trying to act military, but were failing miserably since they were so nervous.

"At ease men, like I said, there is nothing formal about my master's....I mean Captain Redfield's team." Keith chuckled.

Hunter and Exile relaxed slightly and smiled, but said nothing. The soldier motioned for the gate to be opened, and they all stepped inside. The camp was itself was neat and tidy despite being outdoors, some of the soldiers were working, while others just hanging out. Keith got greetings of recognition by many of the soldiers, and Keith waved back.

"Comrade, you pretty well known!" Exile said.

"Yeah!" Hunter added.

"Well I've been with the BSAA since the beginning. That's the name of the resistance: Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance. We specifically search and seek out different types of bio weaponry." Keith explained.

"Wow.....so you fight monsters for a living.....not so different from being a super hero." Hunter said.

"Yeah....except there are no perks, we do this because it's the right thing to do, plus a lot of people here have it out for Umbrella. Friends lost, families destroyed....." Keith trailed off.

The three said nothing more until they reached the Captain's tent.

"Permission to enter sir!" Keith said.

"Permission granted." Chris's friendly voice said.

Keith stepped in with the Rovers behind him, and there before him was his master and Jill.

"Chris! Jill!" Keith shouted, he said running towards them.

He embraced them both in a tight hug, he thought he would never see them again.

"Keith! *Cough* It's good to see you too! Let go! Your choking...."

The two humans said laughing.

"Oh sorry!" the shepherd said.

"It's good to see you too Keith, would you mind introducing your twoo friends?" Jill asked.

Keith nodded and said "Chris, Jill, this is Exile and Hunter, they're the Road Rovers I recruited."

"It's a pleasure" Exile replied with a firm handshake to both soldiers.

"Like wise" Hunter replied doing the same.

"Just two? I thought there were......oh...." Jill started.

She knew she didn't dare finish that sentence, these three had been through hell, she didn't want them to relive it. The Rovers were a little saddened by this, but they shook it off.

"Sorry" Jill replied. "I didn't mean too...."

"It's alright ma'am we come to terms with it, now the only thing we want is chance at revenge" Exile said sternly.

Hunter said nothing, he only nodded. Chris and Jill looked at their eyes, it was the same fire that burned in theirs when they first stood up against Umbrella all those years ago.

"You'll get your chance soldiers, I promise." Chris replied. "Now gentlemen if wouldn't mind, I would like to speak with Keith alone, sorry this is some classified information were about to discuss."

The two just nodded, but Keith stopped them.

"With your permission sir....I would like them to stay. They have been through and seen what Umbrella is capable off......they also know about Wesker and Shepherd. They're already in this deep, let them stay. They're extremely trustworthy and have proven themselves time and again. Please Chris?" Keith said.

Chris stopped for a moment and just stared at Keith.

Keith....you have never trusted anyone else before except Jill and I....you've finially found some fellow brothers.....I'm happy for you.

"Permission granted, gentlemen take your seats." Chris said.

Keith smiled and mentally thanked Chris, Chris smiling slightly. "Keith, explain what happened at the Rover's base. I want to know the creatures, the people involved, everything." Chris said.

Keith went in to extensive detail about the events of the past week, the attack, Wesker's involvement, the progenitor virus emerging. Keith explained how two of the Rover's met a grisly demise, but left out Blitz's suicide, and as much detail of Colleen's murder as possible, he didn't want to upset his brothers again. He also told of Shepherd's tentacled clone, and how all the evidence was blown up along with the base.

"And that's all." Keith finished.

"Keith...." was all Jill could manage.

Chris didn't say anything, he only shut his eyes and sighed.

"I want to apologize to you Keith, Exile, Hunter. I didn't know this would happen, I figured Shepherd completely gave up his research, and went on to be a good guy. I never would of thought Wesker would've gone after him, there was no trace of Joseph Shepherd left to begin with! I was amazed it was the same guy who created the Road Rovers.....you have my sincerest apologies." Chris said.

"What exactly does our master have to with all this?" Hunter questioned.

"Shepherd was the creator and head researcher of the progenitor virus. He discovered a parasite in Africa back in 1986 that gave the infectee amazing transformation abilities, and it allowed to keep it's original form. Unfortunately, it was to unstable to control, so the project was dropped after an accident occurred. Shepherd disappeared soon after, taking most of the research with him. However, there was enough data left to construct the T-Virus, a variance of it, and that was what caused the Raccoon incident." Chris explained.

Hunter fell back in his seat, and said nothing more.

"Who's this Wesker character?" Exile questioned. "He's seems like pretty bad guy......."

"Wesker...he" Chris shook with anger and he pounded the table.

Master....

Jill spoke up "He was our leader when S.T.A.R.S. was still assembled. He was the one who lead us into that old mansion, and used us as....research data. We thought he was dead since his "creation" killed him. He surfaced a few a later at a facility somewhere in Antarctica, where they were conducting research on another variation of the virus. Except this time.....he was different. He possessed superhuman abilities, and completely overwhelmed Chris. Apparently he is working independently now, and has his own agenda with Umbrella as well. We can only guess his is planning world wide contamination according to various reconnaissances we've gathered. Other than that.....he's been underground, till now."

"Superhuman? You mean like us?" Exile said.

"Precisely." Jill said.

Exile fell silent, and sat back in his chair.

It was Keith's turn to speak up "Captain, what's the plan? Wesker seems like the one pulling all the strings now."

"Well as of now there have been no solid leads on his whereabouts and all the evidence blew up in the facility where you came from. Although there have been reports of bioterrorism building up in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan......" Keith remembered something.

"Before that.....what about all those outbreaks in America? Weren't the Rover's and I supposed to aid in the search and rescue?"

"That was the original plan....but....Keith I really need to speak with you in private, that's an order." Chris said sternly.

Keith nodded, he couldn't disobey a direct order.

"Guys, please step outside."

The two Rovers nodded and did as they were told.

"Chris what is this all about?" Keith said worriedly.

Chris and Jill exchanged glances and sighed. "Keith.....we sent you to retrieve..... not recruit them."Chris said with a lowered voice.

"Retrieve?! Why?!" Keith exclaimed.

"They're carriers....of the progenitor virus. Shepherd used the virus to create them, all of them." Jill said.

"So?! I'm a carrier of the T-Virus! What difference does it make?! I'm not dangerous!"

"Well the T-Virus can't be controlled, plus it's old news. We actually knew of this before we sent you, we knew you would have never agreed, plus it would have been easier for you to recruit them, being of the same situation and all. I'm sorry Keith......but if they fell into the wrong hands....."

"So why exactly did you need for me to retrieve them?" Keith said coldly.

"For research, to possibly find a cure.......and then.....extermination."

Keith couldn't believe what he was hearing, his master had used him, Keith never felt so crushed.

Extermination? Retrieval? Why master? Why......?

Keith looked up and said "You lied to me....you lied....why?"

Jill said "We were just trying to protect you, we didn't want you so deeply involved.....were sorry. We just thought it would have been simpler if......"

Keith wasn't listening, he was still reeling from the fact that his two parents had lied to him, and what's more they were going to kill his brothers! Keith clutched the necklace and ring around his neck.

Nooooooo......I won't let this happen.

"Chris.....please don't kill them...they're.....we....." Keith begged. I

can't tell him about us....he'll disown me.

"I'll do it....if they fall into the wrong hands....let me do it. I take full responsibility. They're the only friends I have right now, ones that truly understand me."

Chris looked at Jill and said "Okay.....but is it okay if we take some blood samples? We need some data for a possible vaccine...."

"Fine, but let me tell them." Keith replied. "I'll tell them it's just standard procedure, they trust me."

"Okay." Jill and Chris replied.

"Now.....are we going after Wesker? In Afghanistan you said?"

"It's not that reliable, but we need to take some action. Wesker is definitely on the move, we gotta take a chance." Chris replied.

"I'll make an announcement and we'll pull out tomorrow. Keith, how are those two experienced with fighting those creatures?"

"They have enough experience sir, and are excellent fighters. I'll be happy to train them some more before we pull out in the morning. But what about America? We can't just abandon those cities for some lead!" Keith said.

"We've already contacted the Canadian and Mexican Division for help, they have enough resources to take care of problems topside. Don't worry Keith everything's under control. Go take a breather Keith and get some rest, you need it. Dismissed." Chris said.

Keith went to get up when Jill said "Keith.....we're sorry for not trusting you, we won't do it again."

"Thanks" Keith replied and walked out. "He's really become a great soldier, he's really matured since Raccoon." Chris said.

Jill replied "Yeah.....if we don't stop Wesker, he definitely will."

She gave Chris a small kiss on the cheek and they went back to planning for their mission.

"How many people are we going to take?" she asked.

"As few as possible, we don't need anymore needless casualties. I was thinking you, me, Keith, and his friends." Chris said.

"That's only five Chris! We surely need......" she started.

Chris cut her off "I know, but were the only ones who have had major experience with these types of creatures, some of these soldiers haven't even been in the warzone. Besides this is a personal mission...were going after Wesker, Satan himself, the man who destroyed our lives, Keith's and his friends. We'll be fine, we've been through worse." Chris said touching her hand.

"I believe you......" Jill smiled. The two embraced each other and kissed, closing out the world around them.

Keith walked out into the sun, and was pondering about his conversation.

So the guys and I have more in common than we thought......we're all carriers. I won't tell them until the time is right.

"Hey comrade! Everything ok?" Exile asked.

"Yeah, you look pretty rough. Did you get scolded for bringing us here?" Hunter asked with concern.

"Nah.......just some family talk and such....." Keith trailed off.

Liar....

"Oh....." they replied.

"Anyway, the captain wants to get some blood samples from you. You know standard procedure and all that." Keith said.

"Follow me." He escorted them to the infirmary tent, had samples drawn, and stepped back outside.

"Man I hate needles....." Hunter said.

"Me too, they're so tiny, you can't see them." Exile added.

"What now comrade? It's only 4 in the afternoon." "

Well I need to start briefing on the mission tomorrow, and I need to do some additional training with you. We are going after Wesker after all." Keith said in a lowered voice, he didn't want to start a ruckus.

"Let's go somewhere private, back to the ship."

They all proceeded back to the ship, and went back to the mission room.

"Guys were going to Afghanistan, where I don't know yet, but apparently there have been bio weapon sightings in the area, and possibly of Wesker. Chris hasn't given me anymore details yet on the number of soldiers going and other specifics yet, but I figured I'd give you the heads up. Now about your training, were going out to the middle of the Outback and I'm going to show you everything I know. What's more, were going to be fighting each other."

The two rovers blinked in surprise.

"You've seen these things in action, they acted almost....human. There is no other substitute at this point........"

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Keith's radio rang.

"Attention all soldiers we are under attack by B.O.W.S.! This is not a drill! Be advised these things are....uhhh......AHHHHHHHHHHHH! psfftttttttt" the transmission ended.

"What the hell?! How did the enemy find this base?!" Keith exclaimed.

Unless there was an insider.....no time, we have to help.

"Let's go! Lock and load you guys! We have to find Chris and Jill! Looks like you're going to get some hands on training after all!"

"Right!" they shouted.

The three canines proceeded to the cargo hatch and were greeted by.......the soldiers?! No.....something was wrong....their eyes were glowing red...the same as those creatures from before......there must have been an outbreak in the camp.

No.......

One of the soldiers ran toward them at full speed wielding a knife, and well actually. BAM! The creature's head exploded, and fell to the ground twitching slightly.

"Comrade, they are no longer your friends, we must fight them!" Exile shouted.

Keith nodded and unholstered his handguns, Hunter doing the same. The three began firing rapidly, trying to push through the crowds.

"These guys are fast, and intelligent!" Hunter shouted, struggling with one of the soldiers.

"Yeah, what's more their strong! I'm twice size of these guys and I'm having trouble! WHAT THE?!" Exile shouted.

One of the soldiers began choking Exile, then some sort of parasitic creature protruded out of the mouth snapping after Exile. Exile pushed the creature away as best he could, then straight punched it away.

"What in the hell?! Ahhhh!" Exile shouted, then was quickly overtaken by another two soldiers.

What the? These creatures are nothing like we've ever faced, they're even more advanced than the ones we encountered before!

Keith thought. "Guys! We have to work together! Back each other up whenever possible! When someone shouts help, try your best to get to him! If you get caught, fight as hard as you can! Let's go!" Keith shouted.

The trio fought as hard as they could, kicking, shooting, rolling, ducking, and slashing their way to the camp.

How many of these things are there?!

"Help!" Exile shouted.

Keith looked over, Exile was grabbed from behind and two other soldiers were wielding axes, getting ready to strike. Exile attempted to struggle, and kick them away, but these things were way powerful! They even were holding down pressure points!

"I'm coming!" Keith shouted "Ooooofffff!"

Keith was struck from behind with what seemed to be a metal baton. The pain was intense, making Keith reel a little bit.

"Ha!" Keith looked and saw Hunter twist kick the creature away, then fan kicked some additional ones away. "You okay?" Hunter said, picking up Keith.

Fanboy....you saved me....

"Thanks man, let's get to Exile!" Keith replied.

Damn! I'm finished! Exile thought.

The creatures were about to strike when he felt a rush of force from behind, and suddenly he was free. Hunter had fan kicked the creature off and Exile was free! Then he saw Keith slash the two other's throats, making them fall to the ground.

"You okay partner?!" they both asked.

"Yeah, barely, thanks!" Exile replied.

‘Were almost there! Don't give up now guys!" Keith shouted.

They were about ten yards from the gate, luckily it was wide open and the path was mostly clear. They made a dead run for the gate, shooting the creatures pursuing them.

"Exile! Once we're inside, fire two grenades to thin the crowd, then fire an RPG on the two watchtowers to provide a barricade!" Keith ordered.

"You got it!" Exile replied.

Almost there........

The three sprinted into the gate, and turned to the crowd.

"We'll provide covering fire, hurry Exile!" Keith shouted.

Keith and Hunter fired for all they were worth into the crowd, trying to buy time. Exile loaded his launcher and fired two frags, thining the crowd, then fired RPGS on the towers, making them fall over the entrance.

"Good job Exile! That should buy us some time!" Keith praised.

"Uh....guys...." Hunter gulped and pointed.

Exile and Keith turned, there were even more of these things! What's more, they were trapped within the electrified fence!

"Dammit!" Keith shouted. "How are we on ammo!?"

Keith checked himself, he had about fifteen clips loaded, along with 50 spare rounds for the pistols. Three clips for the AR. Exile had the same amount for his pistols, but was nearly out of grenades. Hunter was okay on his pistol ammunition also, but was completely out of shells. There must have been at least a hundred of the things, there would be no way they would survive.

Dammit! We've came so far! We are not gonna die here!

"Come on guys! We've come so far! Don't give up! LET'S GO!" Keith shouted running forward.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!" the two shouted and followed suit.

The three ran in shooting for all they were worth, leaping, kicking, punching, using every ounce of will power to beat the crap out of these creatures. It seemed like they were going to win, when Exile shouted "I'm out! AUGGHHH!"

He was quickly overtaken by a group of soldiers.

"Exile!" Keith shouted.*click click* "DAMMIT! Not now! OOOOFFF!" Keith screamed, being knocked to the ground.

"Hunter!" Keith shouted. It was no use, Hunter was overwhelmed as well, being knocked to the ground and stomped on.

No! Were not gonna die here!

Keith was being held down by a single soldier and being stomped on by others. The parasite protruded out of the soldier's mouth, getting closer!

Shit! Sorry everyone.....I failed....Chris forgive me!

SPLAT! The creatures head exploded and it fell lifeless on top of Keith. The other soldier's took notice off from Keith and looked at what just killed their friend.

"It's not like you to be so sloppy soldier!" a familiar voice rang out.

"Chris! You're alive! Jill!" Keith shouted with happiness.

"Get up soldier! You have to save your friends too!" Jill said, firing at various targets. "We'll give you covering fire!"

Keith wasted no time; he took out his knife and began making his way toward his fallen comrades.

"Ha! Ya! Take that!" Keith shouted, taking out some creatures. He finally made his way over to Exile, and mêléed the creatures of him, stomping all of them on the head. Exile was injured somewhat badly and had some difficulty breathing. Keith took out a resuscitation needle and stuck it into him.

"Are you okay?" Keith asked.

"Fine, thanks to you. Let's go after Hunter!" Exile shouted.

The duo double teamed their way to Hunter, ping ponging targets back and forth between each other, quickly thinning the crowds. Exile kicked one of them, and Keith performed his secret skull crusher move. He jumped on the soldier's shoulders from the front and flipped, causing the soldier's head to shatter on the ground.

"Nice work!" Exile shouted.

They made their way over to Hunter, and pulled the soldiers off of him.

"Ha!" Keith shouted as he impaled one of them with his knife.

"Come on!" Exile shouted, breaking all their necks.

Hunter was breathing heavily and badly bruised, he was bleeding in various places.

"Hold on comrade!" Exile said, taking out a resuscitation needle and sticking him.

Hunter recovered and stood up.

"Thanks" he said.

"Keith! Get out of there! Were getting out of here! Quick follow us, were heading back to your plane! We'll give you supporting fire!" Jill shouted.

Keith nodded and shouted "Come on guys, were outta here!"

All three fought their way out of the crowd with all they had, supporting fire from Chris and Jill.

"All right! Let's go!" Chris shouted.

"What about them? We can't let them roam free!" Keith pointed out.

"Don't worry, this base is set to self destruct, taking all them with it. We gotta hurry!" Chris said.

Exile blew out a piece of the fence with his grenade launcher, and they all ran through. They all ran as fast as they could to the ship, got in the cargo bay and shut the hatch. Hunter ran to the pillot's station and turned on the ship, it lifted into the air. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone shouted and fell to the ground.

"Hold on!" Hunter exclaimed, trying to control the ship. Keith looked out the window and saw nothing but smoke and fire, the entire base was gone.

All those soldiers........fighting for one cause.......were consumed by it in an instant.......what tragic irony.......

The entire crew was silent as they flew away from the base, praying silently for the comrade's lost.
