Parasitic Cure

Alex Mercer was currently running at full speed to St. Paul's hospital to find Dr. Bradley Ragland, he reached the place and surprisingly no soldiers were found, only civilians in the area. He quickly entered the hospital to find Ragland, after figuring out his location, he opened the door. "Dr. Ragland?" Alex questioned, "I've said it already to you people, my medical knowledge is not for sale." Ragland told frustatingly, while Alex grew nearer and nearer, "I'm not buying, I'm taking." Alex said as he suddenly grabbed Ragland's neck and consumed him.

After processing all of Ragland's knowledge, he went straight into the military base AE-One.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Alex arrived, he entered it immediately and set to collect the samples, no one seemed to bother him this time as Greene had considered him an ally. As such, no infected were attacking him.

After he collected the samples, he returned back to St. Paul's hospital and disguised as Ragland, after that he set out to create the cure.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Chris woke up, James Heller told him to carry Mark carefully as he had suffered severe damage to his body. They set out to find another car they may take once again, due to the fact that the previous car was full of infected for the noise and they were close to their current location. They had found one once again on the fifth car on the road, Chris set down Mark to the backseat along with himself to watch him if something happens while Heller was driving with Maya right next to him.

They managed to arrive at St. Paul's hospital after a couple of minutes and dropped off Mark there with Chris getting his face stitched up, meanwhile Heller and Maya were waiting for them while talking with each other and recovering from the lost of Colette.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a while Chris got fixed up apart from Mark as his body was on the verge of breaking. At the same time, Mercer managed to create the cure for himself as he set out quickly.

"Oh hey, Heller, I finally got stitched u-" His words got stuck in his mouth as he caught sight of Alex, "You! You're the guy who destroyed that military base!" Chris shouted. While Heller immediately grabbed his gun and aimed at him.

Both Alex and Chris were shocked for similar situations 'Who the hell is stupid enough to announce a guy who manages to destroy a whole military base? And wait is that Heller?!' Alex thought while his eyes widened at the last part, 'I'm a fucking idiot, holy shit! Why did I call him out when he's a hell of a lot stronger than me or anyone else?' Thought Chris while punching himself in the face in his mind.

Suddenly Alex grinned 'This is a good chance to anger Heller, make him stronger and finally when he's at his peak like in the game, consume him and take his powers for myself.' He planned as he ran towards Heller while the latter fired at him quickly, unfortunately for Heller it's not powerful enough as he punches Heller out of the way and avoiding killing him. He then looks around for Maya as he spotted, he then grabbed her under his arm and finally jumped on roofs as he went in the direction of his infected lair.

"MAYA!" Shouted Heller, his eyes coloring red and tears falling while he got angrier and angrier, he had a newfound resolve to save Maya and get back at the man who took her, he realized that he must've been also related to the infected which in turn killed Colette, his anger went to the max for him and swore that he will kill that son of a bitch.

"What just happened?!" Asked Chris, he doesn't get why that man took Maya specifically but it couldn't have been good, he watched as Heller knelt down and cried while also muttering 'He will die'.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex Mercer had traveled back into the Infected lair as he dropped off Maya while he commanded the Brawlers to surround and guard her.

"Don't worry, kid. I won't kill you yet, I still need your father after all." Alex reassured as he spoke in a style similar to Prototype 2 Alex Mercer.

After that, he went to the core hive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What is it Alex?" Asked Elizabeth Greene, "I need a hunter with the correct genetic type for me to inject this." He said as he shows the syringe. "I see, then try to find a helicopter with a scanner to see which is the correct one." She said as Alex nodded and went to a military base disguised as a marine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex had arrived near the base but there's a problem, there are infected detectors in the base so he needed to be quick on getting the helicopter, he stepped close and the detectors began blinking. "Huh? Where's the infected then?" Asked a marine soldier, "Don't know either but we'd better keep a lookout." Responded another marine soldier. During this, Alex piloted the helicopter and began to ascend. While the detectors stopped at a certain distance, some got suspicious and finally someone called it out. "The detectors only stopped when that chopper ascended so that might be ZEUS!" As he said that, the anti-air guns began firing while the rocket launcher soldiers shot at the helicopter. Alex ducked and weaved with the helicopter as he barely made it out of there without having the helicopter destroyed, he then controlled the helicopter into the core hive's location.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

After flying the helicopter, he began scanning each hunter, until he found the right one as it's the fourth he checked. He then jumped out as he ran to the hunter and injected the parasite into it. It just stayed still and Alex just had to wait a few minutes until the antibodies multiplied.

The time had come, so he went to the hunter and consumed it. His body began developing armor around it and a large blade-like arm reaching his shoulder replaced his right forearm called a Blade and his left arm became a whip-like power with the front having a spiky tip called a Whipfist.

The blade and whipfist disappeared as his hands were replaced with a gray-like armor called Muscle Mass which enhances his punching strength, throwing strength and kicking strength.

'Finally my powers have been unlocked, I'm strong enough to confront Greene, she will provide me with a lot biomass as the biomass contained by Redlight can further allow me to form an army.' Thought Alex evilly as the time for the major parts of his plan had begun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The women reincarnators also arrived in St. Paul's hospital in a car, the two had encountered Chris who was talking to Heller and helping him. Arla had noticed them and told Bonnie where they were, the three talked about what had happened, like Alex Mercer, Chris' scar, Mark's condition, a copperhead appearing, and Maya's kidnapping while Heller is quiet and more focused on wanting to kill Alex in brutal ways.

"We have good news as well, We had found weapons, a rocket launcher and a few grenade launchers." Said Bonnie, which caught Heller's attention. "You said you had a few? How many?" He asked, "Well, only about 3 grenade launchers and also one rocket launcher." She answered.

"Not enough to kill that piece of shit.." Heller muttered.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile Alex was in the core hive, Greene saw him and she greeted him "Nice seeing you again, Alex."

"Indeed it is nice." Alex Mercer smirked.
