Chapter 32 - Clone Heaven

After entering the lower floors, Alice and Zeel began to look around the place. They were greeted by the sight of a naked version of Alice.

Zeel observed the clone for a while but ultimately decided that Alice's breasts were still slightly larger.

*Pop*

Zeel felt a smack behind his head, and Alice directed a displeased gaze in his direction.

'This guy only thinks about nonsense,' Alice lamented inside her mind.

The clone seemed to be in a sort of incubation chamber. Many thoughts raced through Alice's and Zeel's minds at the same time.

"So should I accept her too or not? Since she is just you," Zeel said feeling a bit excited at the prospect of boning two Alices.

"She is just a clone," Alice said and smilingly gave a response "You can bone all the Alices you want, just not this one,"

Alice pointed to herself to show that it was either the clone or herself.

Zeel laughed it off but after seeing Alice not smiling even a bit, he quickly said "I was joking,"

Zeel took note of the irony of the situation since Alice, too was a clone, but because of him, she was also a special variant amongst the clones.

Alice and Zeel continued to bicker unaware that something was lurking in the dark behind them.

The duo continued to examine the clone until something hit the chamber in which it was being held.

Alice retaliated with a knife throw, almost piercing the heart position of the shadow that attacked them. Zeel accelerated next to the creature and sent it flying with a punch.

Zeel then slowed his perception of time as he sent three more knives towards the creature.

However, the creature dodged two of the knives and faded into the darkness once more.

Alice, not paying attention to the battle, turned around catching the clone that was falling out of the incubation chamber.

The clone had difficulty breathing, so was forced to pour incubated nanites into her throat. Still, he couldn't;t be sure that the nanites would provide the necessary support for the clone to breathe.

Alice felt her mind rage as she watched the clone fight to stay alive. Issacs was not only copying Alice, he was trampling upon her uniqueness.

"So was that what Isaacs became?" Alice asked with the rage inside her burning more violently.

"Yeah, pretty scary thing you know? Guess your blood hides all the ugly deep within," Zeel said using the opportunity to rile up Alice some more.

"You want me to do the heavy lifting, huh?" asked Alice as she had always known Zeel never liked touching beings that were infected with the T-virus.

The answer to which Zeel just smirked before they both made their way down the corridor into Isaacs' home away from home.

Entering the door, they were greeted by an old school office, not what one would expect from someone as deranged as Isaac.

"This house looks sane for someone so crazy," Zeel said wondering if he was also qualified as a crazy person.

Zeel preferred the same type of experiments and home designs as Isaacs.

"Well, at least he has some style," Alice said trying to cheer him up "But to be fair, you are crazy. Your kind of crazy is cute though,"

"According to your poor standards? I don't think you are the best judge of who is crazy miss 'I can beat a bear with my fist'," Zeel mocked in return.

As Zeel and Alice were bickering, Isaacs slowly crawled up from behind them, thinking the duo were unaware of their surroundings.

Zeel and Alice simultaneously kicked to the side, inflicting heavy damage to a mutated, deformed Isaacs.

Isaacs was thrown halfway across the room with clear feet indents apparent on his body, or should it be carapace?

There was no way to tell his species from his grotesque appearance.

"For so long, I thought you were the future. I was wrong. I'm the future." Isaac said to Alice.

Zeel, on the other hand, just grew more intrigued with the possible mutations caused by the T-Virus.

At this point, Zeel was sure that the T-Virus did not originate from this Universe.

"No, you're not the future. You're just ... another asshole," Alice said, sending a full blast of her telekinetic power towards Isaacs.

Isaacs was blasted through the nearby walls. The entire time Zeel was contemplating the possible origin Universe of something as deadly as the T-Virus.

Not long later, Isaacs came back through the wall and sent a blast of his telekinetic power. In comparison to Alice's blast, Isaac's blast was as powerful as it was unstable.

Zeel grabbed Alice and jumped backward, drifting along with the telekinetic wave.

Mid-air, Zeel rotated his body, sending a strong punch into the upcoming wall. That allowed for both himself and Alice to pass through the wall safely.

However, Zeel's real goal was the corridor behind the wall.

The duo ended up in a corridor similar to the one at The Hive. The crystal clear glass corridor was hard to forget.

It was the corridor that killed James using lasers.

Being intimately familiar with the corridor, Alice waited for Zeel to hack into the electrical grid so he could start the lasers.

With Zeel in control, there was no way they couldn't predict the pattern. This gave Zeel and Alice an advantage over Isaacs who also entered the corridor.

Alice said "We're all gonna die down here,"

"Hey don't lump me in with you," Zeel complained, trying to figure out why the lasers activated without his permission.

Blue lasers filled with varying patterns appeared in the corridor and started to move forward slowly.

What followed was a fierce competition to see who would be dissected first. All of this, while also attempting to kill each other with whatever means possible.

Finally, Zeel had total control of the patterns and quickly pulled Alice to his side as they both jumped back.

Zeel then inputted a new pattern into the computer with the use of his nanites. His nose bled a little since a bit of his technological prowess as a Homo-Superior was also included.

Zeel programmed a pattern that would overload the lasers, which would lead to one obvious outcome.

The laser beam concentrated at a particular point in the air and slowly began to expand.

Isaacs was unconcerned at first, but very soon grew worried as the beam didn't stop accumulating. Issacs had many opportunities to escape, but the T-Virus also fueled his ego to stupidity levels.

By the time, Isaacs raised his head to look at Zeel and Alice, they had already fled into the vents above their heads.

Zeel dragged Alice as they scurried through the vents with desperation painted on their faces. Still, they weren't fast enough.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Alice and Zeel felt a shiver run through their spines. Alice quickly wrapped them both in a telekinetic barrier.

They were both blasted out of the vents, through several walls before coming to a stop. Of course, Zeel took the majority of the impact given his physical prowess.

He had managed to wrap Alice in his arms last minute.

Zeel and Alice hacked into the camera and viewed Isaacs' last moments as a confirmation of his death.

Zeel always made it a hobby to make sure an enemy was truly eliminated. The duo watched the video of the laser beam exploding and instantly vaporizing Issacs.

Issacs' panicked face looked even more hideous with the mutation caused by the T-virus.

In a secret underground Umbrella facility, a meeting to decide the future of the corrupted Umbrella Corporation was taking place.

"All attempts to contact the North American facility continue to fail," Director One said.

"How long have they been off the air?" Wesker asked.

"Seventeen hours," Director Two replied.

"We must consider them lost. But our plans remain unchanged. All data will be transferred to this facility and the research will continue under my personal supervision. I expect results within one month," Wesker said as he was about to sign off the hologram.

All of a sudden, The North American hologram lights up, revealing Alice and a tired-looking Zeel.

"You won't have to wait that long, boys. Because I'm coming for you. And I'm gonna be bringing a few of my friends," Alice said with her eyes burning with hatred.

Zeel was memorizing the face and profile of everyone in the projected room.

All he required was a stable connection, and it was granted the moment they allowed Alice into the network.

Wesker, seemingly catching up with the fact that they were being hacked, quickly shut down Alice's communication.

However, he was a bit too late as Zeel had enough intel to access everything he required.

After hanging up, Alice looked at her clone which had survived the nanites infusion. This specific clone was also somewhat attached to Zeel.

The trio walked to an open room behind the incubation chamber that previously contained the clone.

Once there, they gazed towards the piles and piles of clones, all indistinguishable from Alice.

"I don't know about you but this is heaven for me," Zeel said to which Alice raised a brow.

She directed an angry gaze his way, but a contemplative face soon replaced it.
