Chapter Three
"Viral Uprising"
The Story So Far Warpath was revealed to be innocent, and the group was forced to proceed with the knowledge that at least one among them was a killer. There was no choice, for Wanda's power needed time to regenerate.
On the next floor, the group split into three. Some went to an area called Experimental Applications, while others went to an area called Live Storage, and the rest stayed behind to protect Wanda from harm. In Experimental Applications, the group found a strange area where Umbrella scientists were testing the ability of creatures versus live targets. The group ended up meeting with Claire Redfield, saving her from a room filled with traps. In Live Storage, the group ended up rescuing Leon Scott Kennedy, but also managed to have an unfortunate run-in with monsters known as Lickers.
The group who stayed behind ended up attacked by a mysterious and powerful creature. It easily killed a number of the group, forcing the rest to escape while Clark and Cullen distracted it.
Everyone ended up meeting in front of the lounge, where Claire and Leon said the entrance to the next floor could be found. Unfortunately for the group, more murder occurred there. Naomi and Little Guy were killed, and with Wanda's powers about to regenerate, the group stopped to investigate and vote on who she should check next. After lots of arguing and vote switching, the group eventually settled on Azura.
Meanwhile, Alice was given a task by Albert Wesker to investigate his office for mysterious reasons. When she got back, she found Naomi and Little Guy returned to life...
Cullen, having fallen into silence as he leaned up against the pool table watching everyone yell back and forth, sighed deeply. Standing up straight, he cleared his throat to grab everyone's attention. "Okay, now that we've had our arguments, our pity parties, and our dramatic vote swings, I'd say it's long past due to call it." He pointed a finger Wanda's way. "Just get this over with before that creature finds us."
Though Wanda had been unsure with all the vote switching who to check, she figured Cullen was right. All she could do was examine who had the most votes at this current time, and that happened to be Azura.
"Let's hope we're right this time," Wanda said to the group. "My powers are only just now coming back to me." As she stepped up next to Azura, her hands glowed with a red aura liked before. The woman's head was bathed in red for just a moment, long enough for Wanda's eyes to widen.
"This one, Azura... she is guilty. She has betrayed us."
As Wanda announced the truth about Azura, Clark flinched. Turning his head down, Clark spoke to Azura.
"Why? You don't seem like someone who just kills people."
"I suppose one truly cannot judge a book by its cover," Riesbyfe simply said, narrowing her eyes at the revealed Traitor. She took a step forward toward Azura, but stopped herself, deciding to see what else Wanda had to say.
Wanda in question shook her head. She held up a hand to silence any reaction to the revelation. "She is not herself. She is being controlled... and I have just enough power to sever that connection."
Wanda's hands glowed red once again, but this time so did her eyes. She took Azura's head in her hands forcefully, and both women cried out. A bright red flash enveloped them, but it was gone in only a few seconds. Wanda stepped away from Azura, breathing heavily. "It's done. She's free."
"Hey, uh..." Leon really wasn't sure what just happened, so he held up a hand. "Nice trick, there."
Claire was still looking pale, and she sounded quiet as she spoke up to ask, "Do you know who was controlling her? Was it Umbrella?"
Wanda shook her head. "Perhaps... I don't really know. The chips were deactivated, and yet... It did not feel like technology, but I can't say for sure. Who else but Umbrella, after all?"
"Whatever the case," Cullen said impatiently, "we have to go."
Claire nodded, gesturing to the exit of the lounge. Both she and Leon led the group ahead, eventually coming across a flight of stairs that led to the floor above. Here, a sign indicated they were on the Research Floor, and that the floor was comprised of two sections: Virus Studies and Drug Manufacturing.
Claire and Leon looked momentarily lost at the entrance to the floor, and when asked where they were supposed to go from here, Leon just shrugged. "I guess we both figured it would be obvious from here," Claire said slowly. "One of these Umbrella workers really should have a map..."
"I for one am not going back down to that other floor," Adam said, almost a bit too loudly. He honestly seemed pretty freaked out. "With that crazy ass monster down there, we're all better off staying up on this floor. I also suggest we don't sit here like fucking chumps like last time."
"Right..." Wanda looked up at the sign. "Then half of us should go to one of these areas, while the other half checks out the other..."

"How was it? It can be too sweet for some, but it's nice, isn't it?"
The dhampir was one of those people that others thought to be hard to get a read on, but Hakuei was quite certain of what his impressions were.
She bit into her own piece of chocolate, eyeing him thoughtfully from the corner of her eye with a small smile. This food seemed to be packed full of sugar, which likely was how it boosted energy or helped perk up people. Now the princess had seen her own brother and a step sibling go on a rush from sugar before, and suddenly she was wondering...
What was Alucard like on a sugar rush?
She giggled to herself at the absurdity of the mental image that summoned up.
"Ah, Cagliostro." Hakuei noticed the alchemist speaking to them, and smiled at her in amusement. "I suppose it's because we know we can trust each other, and we chose to."
"Alucard saved me earlier, and I couldn't be more grateful to him. Road as well."

"Hah!" Cagliostro laughs sadistically, "to be seduced by her beauty while in my presence? The presence of the cutest and most beautiful? You all truly were gullible foo- huh?"
That was when Wanda revealed that Azura was being controlled by an external force.
"Well, uh... that was unexpected, but it does explain some things," Cagliostro says as she walks up to Azura, "say, do you remember what you did? I'm kind of curious as to how the whole scenario played."
After getting a supposed answer, Cagliostro turns towards Alucard, Hakuei and Road, and her bubbly persona returned.
"Alright~ so, where are you all headed~ I'm fine with either one, but personally, I've had looots of experience with drug-making myself~ It's part of the basics of being an alchemist, after all~ teehee~"
@Takumi @Sen @Hana @Azuremoon @Crow @Josh M @The Myrmidon @Crimson Spartan @LuckycoolHawk9 @Minerva
"I, as well, do not hold anything against Lady Azura."
Hakuei felt nothing but sympathy for the Nohr princess, the initial shock and horror quickly abating when Wanda explained. For how could someone like Azura murder other people so ruthlessly...?
"The idea that something can control us to do these killings without our knowledge... It's horrifying," she sighed, brows furrowed. To not be aware of the atrocities your own body was doing without your consent*... She shuddered. "And just when we thought that SHIELD had been able to break Umbrella's hold on us earlier..."
Anyone who keeps up with the Magi manga chapters is aware of the foreshadowing in this statement. Irony at its finest. c;
"Are you feeling a bit better now, Road?"
They had soon finished their 'meal' which consisted of the bars of chocolate. It wasn't quite a hearty supper that was healthy for them, but she could feel the effects of the sugar livening her already.
She could only hope that the small amount of water, food, and rest that the Noah got would be enough to keep her sprightly once more.
"Shall we go to Virus Studies or Drug Manufacturing, Alucard, Road?"
@Azuremoon @Sen @Crow @Takumi @The Myrmidon @Hachiro Terra @Gands
"I've been myself and they haven't tried to kill me, and that's a plus."
Road actually moved so that she leaned over and onto Hakuei. The small girl's body just moved against her's for a moment and the look on her face betrayed whether she was being genuinely affectionate or just teasing. However, she moved off as soon as 18 voted for her and was about to get mouthy with cyborg before the decision had been made... and a verdict had been found.
"Oh, look, Alley, it wasn't us. Isn't that surprising?"
The Noah couldn't help but send unfriendly glares in the direction of 18 and Lucio, but only wasted a moment on it before returning her attention so matters much more precedent. Her chocolate bar. Unlike the Vampire and Princess, Road had been eating the sweet treat in whole bites, disregarding the pieces in favor of filling her maw instead of savoring it. The bar was more than half gone when it was apparently go-time again. Road was not looking forward to standing up again - in fact, she loathed the prospect, but knew the rest of them would and that was reason enough for her to follow suit.
With no lack of effort of acknowledgment of personal space, she used Alucard and Hakuei and got herself onto her feet, only to discover a new effect of the alcohol. Her legs had 'gone to sleep' and she hadn't noticed until that very moment. She fell back, luckily against the wall, before recomposing herself and standing on her own. A bit achey in the head, but she didn't feel sick any more and her mind felt more clear. Better. Healing factors accounted little for large in takes of alcohol, but it still got the job done enough, it seemed.
"I'll be fine, Hakuei." There was a strange... confidence in her voice that hadn't been present before.
"I say Virus Studies."
Her statement was made more in order to prove she was no longer handicapped but it did little to prove so.
"Alley?" she glanced at the fourth party and grinned, "Caglio? Thoughts?"

Cullen, having fallen into silence as he leaned up against the pool table watching everyone yell back and forth, sighed deeply. Standing up straight, he cleared his throat to grab everyone's attention. "Okay, now that we've had our arguments, our pity parties, and our dramatic vote swings, I'd say it's long past due to call it." He pointed a finger Wanda's way. "Just get this over with before that creature finds us."
Though Wanda had been unsure with all the vote switching who to check, she figured Cullen was right. All she could do was examine who had the most votes at this current time, and that happened to be Azura.
"Let's hope we're right this time," Wanda said to the group. "My powers are only just now coming back to me." As she stepped up next to Azura, her hands glowed with a red aura liked before. The woman's head was bathed in red for just a moment, long enough for Wanda's eyes to widen.
"This one, Azura... she is guilty. She has betrayed us."
As Wanda announced the truth about Azura, Clark flinched. Turning his head down, Clark spoke to Azura.
"Why? You don't seem like someone who just kills people."
"I suppose one truly cannot judge a book by its cover," Riesbyfe simply said, narrowing her eyes at the revealed Traitor. She took a step forward toward Azura, but stopped herself, deciding to see what else Wanda had to say.
Wanda in question shook her head. She held up a hand to silence any reaction to the revelation. "She is not herself. She is being controlled... and I have just enough power to sever that connection."
Wanda's hands glowed red once again, but this time so did her eyes. She took Azura's head in her hands forcefully, and both women cried out. A bright red flash enveloped them, but it was gone in only a few seconds. Wanda stepped away from Azura, breathing heavily. "It's done. She's free."
"Hey, uh..." Leon really wasn't sure what just happened, so he held up a hand. "Nice trick, there."
Claire was still looking pale, and she sounded quiet as she spoke up to ask, "Do you know who was controlling her? Was it Umbrella?"
Wanda shook her head. "Perhaps... I don't really know. The chips were deactivated, and yet... It did not feel like technology, but I can't say for sure. Who else but Umbrella, after all?"
"Whatever the case," Cullen said impatiently, "we have to go."
Claire nodded, gesturing to the exit of the lounge. Both she and Leon led the group ahead, eventually coming across a flight of stairs that led to the floor above. Here, a sign indicated they were on the Research Floor, and that the floor was comprised of two sections: Virus Studies and Drug Manufacturing.
Claire and Leon looked momentarily lost at the entrance to the floor, and when asked where they were supposed to go from here, Leon just shrugged. "I guess we both figured it would be obvious from here," Claire said slowly. "One of these Umbrella workers really should have a map..."
"I for one am not going back down to that other floor," Adam said, almost a bit too loudly. He honestly seemed pretty freaked out. "With that crazy ass monster down there, we're all better off staying up on this floor. I also suggest we don't sit here like fucking chumps like last time."
"Right..." Wanda looked up at the sign. "Then half of us should go to one of these areas, while the other half checks out the other..."

"I, as well, do not hold anything against Lady Azura."
Hakuei felt nothing but sympathy for the Nohr princess, the initial shock and horror quickly abating when Wanda explained. For how could someone like Azura murder other people so ruthlessly...?
"The idea that something can control us to do these killings without our knowledge... It's horrifying," she sighed, brows furrowed. To not be aware of the atrocities your own body was doing without your consent*... She shuddered. "And just when we thought that SHIELD had been able to break Umbrella's hold on us earlier..."
Anyone who keeps up with the Magi manga chapters is aware of the foreshadowing in this statement. Irony at its finest. c;
"Are you feeling a bit better now, Road?"
They had soon finished their 'meal' which consisted of the bars of chocolate. It wasn't quite a hearty supper that was healthy for them, but she could feel the effects of the sugar livening her already.
She could only hope that the small amount of water, food, and rest that the Noah got would be enough to keep her sprightly once more.
"Shall we go to Virus Studies?"
@Azuremoon @Sen @Crow @Takumi @The Myrmidon @Hachiro Terra @Gands @Klutzy Ninja Kitty
"I've been myself and they haven't tried to kill me, and that's a plus."
Road actually moved so that she leaned over and onto Hakuei. The small girl's body just moved against her's for a moment and the look on her face betrayed whether she was being genuinely affectionate or just teasing. However, she moved off as soon as 18 voted for her and was about to get mouthy with cyborg before the decision had been made... and a verdict had been found.
"Oh, look, Alley, it wasn't us. Isn't that surprising?"
The Noah couldn't help but send unfriendly glares in the direction of 18 and Lucio, but only wasted a moment on it before returning her attention so matters much more precedent. Her chocolate bar. Unlike the Vampire and Princess, Road had been eating the sweet treat in whole bites, disregarding the pieces in favor of filling her maw instead of savoring it. The bar was more than half gone when it was apparently go-time again. Road was not looking forward to standing up again - in fact, she loathed the prospect, but knew the rest of them would and that was reason enough for her to follow suit.
With no lack of effort of acknowledgment of personal space, she used Alucard and Hakuei and got herself onto her feet, only to discover a new effect of the alcohol. Her legs had 'gone to sleep' and she hadn't noticed until that very moment. She fell back, luckily against the wall, before recomposing herself and standing on her own. A bit achey in the head, but she didn't feel sick any more and her mind felt more clear. Better. Healing factors accounted little for large in takes of alcohol, but it still got the job done enough, it seemed.
"I'll be fine, Hakuei." There was a strange... confidence in her voice that hadn't been present before.
"I say Virus Studies."
Her statement was made more in order to prove she was no longer handicapped but it did little to prove so.
"Alley?" she glanced at the fourth party and grinned, "Caglio? Thoughts?"
@Sen @Hana @Crow
"So, Virus Studies it is then? I don't know, a maiden like me, near-"
Cagliostro thinks about her sentence for a bit.
"Hmmm... I can handle Virus Studies~ let's do this everyone~."
"I guess you can tell us on the way, teehee~ I'm going your way, after all~" Cagliostro gleed towards Azura. "I'm sure your head will be aaall clear once you take some time off~."
Uttering under her breath, Cagliostro grouched.
"I must get to the bottom of this..."

Chapter Three
"Viral Uprising"
The Story So Far Warpath was revealed to be innocent, and the group was forced to proceed with the knowledge that at least one among them was a killer. There was no choice, for Wanda's power needed time to regenerate.
On the next floor, the group split into three. Some went to an area called Experimental Applications, while others went to an area called Live Storage, and the rest stayed behind to protect Wanda from harm. In Experimental Applications, the group found a strange area where Umbrella scientists were testing the ability of creatures versus live targets. The group ended up meeting with Claire Redfield, saving her from a room filled with traps. In Live Storage, the group ended up rescuing Leon Scott Kennedy, but also managed to have an unfortunate run-in with monsters known as Lickers.
The group who stayed behind ended up attacked by a mysterious and powerful creature. It easily killed a number of the group, forcing the rest to escape while Clark and Cullen distracted it.
Everyone ended up meeting in front of the lounge, where Claire and Leon said the entrance to the next floor could be found. Unfortunately for the group, more murder occurred there. Naomi and Little Guy were killed, and with Wanda's powers about to regenerate, the group stopped to investigate and vote on who she should check next. After lots of arguing and vote switching, the group eventually settled on Azura.
Meanwhile, Alice was given a task by Albert Wesker to investigate his office for mysterious reasons. When she got back, she found Naomi and Little Guy returned to life...

Miku simply watched this "Lady Azura" warily as they moved onto the next area, opting not to speak of her reveal as a traitor. If anything, Riesbyfe was right- it wasn't wise to judge a book by it's cover. Even the most unlikely looking had the ability to be more than meets the eye.
Trying to shake herself free from dwelling on it too much, Miku eyed the signs for a moment, beginning to tune in as people debated who would be going where.
She turned her attention to Blake and Senna after a few moments, looking to them for their thoughts on where they should go. "Maybe we should go to "Drug Manufacturing"...? It might be the safest for us," A brief glance shot over in the direction of the other little groups. "Plus I think a lot of people are already considering going to virus studies..."
@Gummi Bunnies @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Whoever
"I must admit that I am glad Lady Azura is not a deceiver at heart," Alucard stating, feeling the earlier hostile emotions slip away from him. Not one to be attached to those he was not going to stick around with for too long, he did not feel much about the fact that a traitor among them had been exposed, except now he knew what to expect. If Umbrella's influence had not left them entirely, yet allowed these people to retain... what seemed to be their normal personality, the dhampir was becoming increasingly concerned. There were possibly more among them, and he had no idea what they or who they were. "However, controlling someone to do things beyond their will... how pathetic of them."
"It reminds me too much of Castlevania, and I do not like it. '
Twould be best if we assist Lady Wanda in exposing the others if they exist."
He blinked at Road with a blank expression. "No, no surprises there. I know who I am, and I have no reason to betray people in the same situation as me." These people remained so they too could discover what was truly happening behind the scenes. There must be more secrets to dig up, and a way to go home. Revenge, vengeance, so many reasons. He had his own reasons too - and he would escort Hakuei along the way. And Road... well, she had no desire to return home, but he could see her off to her future location.
"I shall follow you all. Virus Studies it is."
"It is unlikely I will catch something, but regardless of that I hope nothing latches on to me."
@Hana @Azuremoon @Crow @Gands @Takumi @The Myrmidon @LuckycoolHawk9 @Klutzy Ninja Kitty
Those headed for Virus Studies would find themselves in a semi-lit laboratory containing various tubes, wires, machines, and an operating table. Sounds of moaning and groaning could be heard somewhere in the back of the room, but it couldn't be pinpointed exactly where they were coming from. It seemed rather clean inside this place, except four some blood stains on the other side of the operating table. The only man in the room, a pale, skinny individual wearing round glasses, seemed more fixated on a clipboard in his hands rather than any so called mess in the room. He spoke to himself while jotting down some notes. At first, he wouldn't look at anyone when they would walk inside.
"Cadavers #4 and #5 showed no reaction to verbal stimulus. Virus type #1 and the T-Virus seem to invoke similar behavior patterns in each subject, so far as I can tell--" The man cut himself off, looking to see that others had come into the area. He flinched at the sight of them, reaching up to adjust his glasses afterwards.
"I'm sorry, you startled me. Can I... help you?" he questioned, seeming confused by their presence.

Miku's face showed visible surprise when Senna moved to hug her, though she quickly relaxed into it and returned the hug. Her smile remained, the young android feeling a genuine sense of happiness from these two. It was kind of refreshing to say the least.
"Friendship bracelets..." She mused, eyeing the one Blake had on his wrist. "Yeah, I guess that's what they are huh?" She nodded, the optimism apparent in her voice. "Then it's settled. We all know what we're doing after this is over. Oh, I think you guys should meet some of my friends back home, too. I'm sure they'd love you guys."
When Blake started flirting with her once more, Miku let out a sheepish giggle, brushing some strands of hair behind her ears. "Senna has a point... Thanks, Blake. I'm glad you think so."

Wanda's hands glowed red once again, but this time so did her eyes. She took Azura's head in her hands forcefully, and both women cried out. A bright red flash enveloped them, but it was gone in only a few seconds. Wanda stepped away from Azura, breathing heavily. "It's done. She's free."
"Hey, uh..." Leon really wasn't sure what just happened, so he held up a hand. "Nice trick, there."
Claire was still looking pale, and she sounded quiet as she spoke up to ask, "Do you know who was controlling her? Was it Umbrella?"
Wanda shook her head. "Perhaps... I don't really know. The chips were deactivated, and yet... It did not feel like technology, but I can't say for sure. Who else but Umbrella, after all?"
"Whatever the case," Cullen said impatiently, "we have to go."
Claire nodded, gesturing to the exit of the lounge. Both she and Leon led the group ahead, eventually coming across a flight of stairs that led to the floor above. Here, a sign indicated they were on the Research Floor, and that the floor was comprised of two sections: Virus Studies and Drug Manufacturing.
Claire and Leon looked momentarily lost at the entrance to the floor, and when asked where they were supposed to go from here, Leon just shrugged. "I guess we both figured it would be obvious from here," Claire said slowly. "One of these Umbrella workers really should have a map..."
"I for one am not going back down to that other floor," Adam said, almost a bit too loudly. He honestly seemed pretty freaked out. "With that crazy ass monster down there, we're all better off staying up on this floor. I also suggest we don't sit here like fucking chumps like last time."
"Right..." Wanda looked up at the sign. "Then half of us should go to one of these areas, while the other half checks out the other..."

Miku simply watched this "Lady Azura" warily as they moved onto the next area, opting not to speak of her reveal as a traitor. If anything, Riesbyfe was right- it wasn't wise to judge a book by it's cover. Even the most unlikely looking had the ability to be more than meets the eye.
Trying to shake herself free from dwelling on it too much, Miku eyed the signs for a moment, beginning to tune in as people debated who would be going where.
She turned her attention to Blake and Senna after a few moments, looking to them for their thoughts on where they should go. "Maybe we should go to "Drug Manufacturing"...? It might be the safest for us," A brief glance shot over in the direction of the other little groups. "Plus I think a lot of people are already considering going to virus studies..."
@Gummi Bunnies @Klutzy Ninja Kitty @Whoever
Unsure really what to say about Azura, Senna kept quiet about it. She knew the girl was unable to help what she had done, but she still wasn't exactly happy about it. After quietly thinking for a few moments, she tuned to Blake and Miku, hearing Miku suggest they go to Drug Manufacturing. "That sounds fine with me. I don't really care where we go, just as long as it helps us get out of here faster, you know?" she said with a smile. "Drug Manufacturing it is!"

Although Lucio didn't get involved with the voting, that didn't mean he wasn't listening...or, that he was still down in the dumps. The words of Riesbyfe and others gave him some hope, even in the face of this grim situation. He's really the only one outwardly acting all sad about this, and that isn't something Lucio would do. Naaaah, that isn't Lucio. This is Lucio, right here-- moving up with the rest of the group. He winced as a bright flash emitted from Azure and Wanda, but soon, Azure was freed. He let out a resounding sigh of relief, returning some color to his face and planting his signature smile.
Lucio was back. Just like 18 said; sitting out isn't gonna cut it, this team needs him.
"Yeah-hah, we got one!" the DJ whooped, moving forward with reinvigorated spirit. "You're awesome, Wanda. Ain't nobody else gonna get hurt today, hopefully. Don't got too much to celebrate, though, let's move it up, people!". Despite his call, Lucio halted and turned to Riesbyfe and Clark in particular, keeping a smile on his face and nodding to his heroes.
"Hey, Ries, Clark uh...thank you for gettin' me back into shape, and everything so far . I know it might've been too easy to pull me outta that funk, but..,honestly, thanks. We don't need stuff like that on this team, yeah? If we can hold it together jus' for a lil' while longer..."
"Then we can make it through this!"
Lucio was as bright as ever, resting his hands on his comrades shoulders and giving them a hopeful, optimistic nod. If there was nothing left to be said, then they would move up to the next crossroads, together.

When the group arrived on the Research Floor, Lucio glanced down each of the pathways and pondered where he would go. The Viral Studies group had a whole lotta people heading down, and if anything, they might not need Lucio. Deciding the best plan was to support the lesser group, Lucio drew his weapon and began to skate down towards Drug Manufacturing.
"Yo, I'm headin' down to Drug Manufacturing. Ya'll can follow me if you want!" he called back to Ries, Clark and Nashentia, offering them to follow them. They were some tough bruisers, and together the three of them plus Lucio made an unstoppable team. But, gotta spread the love around, after all.
These Umbrella guys sure as hell deserve it.
Lucio caught up with 18, smirking to the android. "Pssshh, as if you need any help, 18. You're a TANK! But, you asked so nicely, so you know I gotta help out.

Those headed for Virus Studies would find themselves in a semi-lit laboratory containing various tubes, wires, machines, and an operating table. Sounds of moaning and groaning could be heard somewhere in the back of the room, but it couldn't be pinpointed exactly where they were coming from. It seemed rather clean inside this place, except four some blood stains on the other side of the operating table. The only man in the room, a pale, skinny individual wearing round glasses, seemed more fixated on a clipboard in his hands rather than any so called mess in the room. He spoke to himself while jotting down some notes. At first, he wouldn't look at anyone when they would walk inside.
"Cadavers #4 and #5 showed no reaction to verbal stimulus. Virus type #1 and the T-Virus seem to invoke similar behavior patterns in each subject, so far as I can tell--" The man cut himself off, looking to see that others had come into the area. He flinched at the sight of them, reaching up to adjust his glasses afterwards.
"I'm sorry, you startled me. Can I... help you?" he questioned, seeming confused by their presence.
