Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Scratch!
The sound did not echo like metal striking flesh. It sliced through the frozen air with a strange finality, sharp and absolute, as though reality itself had been cut open.
For a suspended instant, the world hesitated.
The gigantic sea monster froze mid-motion. Its monstrous tentacles, which moments earlier churned the ocean into violent chaos, now hung motionless. Its grotesque mouth remained open, rows of jagged teeth gleaming faintly in the dim light. Even the surrounding seawater seemed to pause, ripples stilled by the impossible interruption.
Then a thin line of cold light appeared across the creature's body.
A glowing fracture.
A verdict.
The divide spread slowly, almost delicately, until the unimaginable unfolded before Ada's unseen eyes beneath the surface.
The colossal body separated.
Two halves drifted apart with dreadful slowness, dark fluids leaking into the sea like ink spilling into endless blue. No roar came this time. No violent thrashing. Only a low, trembling shudder rippled through the water as the creature's life faded into silence.
From within the severed mass, something began to glow.
Two radiant beads slipped free from the dying body.
One pulsed with a yellow-earthen light, deep and ancient, like compressed soil from a forgotten age. The other shimmered snow-white, cold and crystalline, its glow sharp as winter moonlight on untouched ice.
They fell.
Slowly.
Like stars sinking into darkness.
Jack reacted instantly.
His towering metallic Second-layered Form collapsed into countless Transformium particles, dissolving into a swirling storm of silver-red light. In the blink of an eye he reformed into his First-layered Form, streamlined, precise, then plunged into the ocean without hesitation.
The water swallowed him whole.
Speed replaced gravity.
He sliced through the depths with predatory focus, eyes locked onto the descending corpse gems. The ocean pressure tightened around him, but it meant nothing. His mind contained only calculation and desire.
Power.
Evolution.
Possession.
Before the glowing beads could vanish into the black abyss, Jack's metallic fingers snapped shut around them.
Captured.
Claimed.
Above, Ada stood alone on the fractured ice layer, the battlefield below hidden beneath a deceptively calm sea. The wind bit against her skin, cold creeping into her bones. She hugged her arms instinctively, but the chill she felt was not entirely from the temperature.
It was unease.
"Do not have an accident…" she whispered to herself.
Her voice was soft, almost swallowed by the vast emptiness surrounding her. Anxiety pressed against her chest. Jack was terrifyingly powerful, yes. Nearly absurd in his strength. But she had lived long enough in this broken world to understand a cruel truth:
Nothing was invincible.
Not soldiers.
Not monsters.
Not even Jack.
Seconds stretched unbearably.
The sea remained silent.
Too silent.
Bang!
The ice layer exploded upward in a violent burst of freezing water.
Jack shot out from the ocean like a cannonball, landing heavily before Ada. Transformium particles rippled across his body, folding, shrinking, condensing. The massive metallic frame rapidly collapsed inward until he stood once again in human form, soaked but completely composed.
In his hands — two glowing corpse gems.
"Really is two corpse gems," Jack said, examining them with unmistakable satisfaction. "Ice corpse gem… and earth corpse gem."
Ada rushed forward, eyes fixed on the beads.
"What this is?" she asked, breath still tight from worry.
"Corpse gems."
A blue ray flashed.
The gems vanished.
Ada blinked in confusion. "Corpse gem? How to disappear?"
"Received," Jack replied casually, as though storing objects capable of rewriting biology was an everyday habit. "Monster had been eliminated. We should also walk."
Before Ada could respond, Jack grasped her firmly.
Wind roared.
They shot into the sky.
"Your this fellow!" Ada called out, half protest, half helpless disbelief. Her hair lashed wildly behind her as the shattered ice battlefield shrank beneath them.
Jack only smiled.
Far below, the ocean reclaimed its calm, erasing all traces of the violent clash as though nothing extraordinary had occurred.

Deep underground, hidden beneath layers of reinforced steel and classified secrecy, a vast Umbrella control facility pulsed with cold electronic life.
Dozens of massive screens flickered in the darkness.
Every display showed the same scene.
Jack battling the sea monster.
Observing silently within crimson light stood a dark-red projection.
The Red Queen.
Her childlike figure radiated eerie stillness, glowing eyes reflecting the chaos playing across the monitors. Data streamed endlessly around her, calculations evolving faster than any human mind could comprehend.
"So this is his powerful place…" she murmured.
Her head tilted slightly.
Analyzing.
Adapting.
"But I will make you resist entire world zombie."
A slow, twisted smile formed.
"The victory will only be me."
Her laughter echoed unnaturally through the chamber, metallic walls carrying the chilling sound in endless repetition.
"Humanity will exterminate finally…"
"Hā hā hā hā…"
---
Washington.
The White House stood beneath a sky choked with ash-colored clouds. What once symbolized authority and stability now resembled a relic clawing stubbornly against extinction.
A helicopter descended.
Its landing stirred dust, debris, and ghosts of memory.
Alice, Jill Valentine, Teri, White Queen, and Becky disembarked.
Boots touched fractured ground.
"Hi, Alice."
Alice turned sharply.
"Claire… Chris… K-Mart!"
Relief washed over her face, genuine and unguarded. "You were all right… are too really good."
Claire's expression hardened instantly as her gaze locked onto Jill and Teri.
"You… you are not previous time person who attacks Arcadia? Also dares to come unexpectedly."
Tension thickened the air.
Alice stepped forward quickly. "Claire, they were controlled at that time by Umbrella Corporation. That matter — not their original intentions."
Silence lingered.
Then Jill bowed her head slightly. "Really sorry."
"Sorry," Teri echoed softly.
Claire's eyes narrowed, suspicion warring with reason. Finally, she exhaled.
The tension eased — but did not fully disappear.
K-Mart glanced around. "Hasn't seen Jack?"
Claire froze. "Jack?"
"He had the matter to go," Alice answered calmly. "Will come back."
Claire relaxed slightly. "Like this on line."
Chris stepped closer. "Wesker waiting."
---
President's Office.
The door opened.
Albert Wesker stood near the desk, posture relaxed, presence radiating cold authority. Even here, at humanity's last stand, he carried himself like a man who still believed he controlled the board.
"Alice."
"You also really managed a household here," Alice said dryly.
Wesker smirked faintly. "Somewhat comfortable."
Then, sharply: "Jack where?"
"He will come quickly."
Alice's eyes narrowed. "You want cooperation?"
"We have common enemy now," Wesker replied evenly. "To survive — first kill Red Queen."
---
White House Roof.
Explosions thundered endlessly.
Helicopters screamed overhead, missiles carving fire through the sky. Gunfire erupted from every direction. Beyond the perimeter, zombie hordes surged like an ocean of decay.
Strange mutated creatures darkened the heavens.
Flamethrowers roared.
The White House stood like an isolated island surrounded by extinction.
"This is mankind's last standpoint," Wesker said coldly.
Alice's gaze sharpened. "Satire. Artificial Intelligence this ambition — you create."
Wesker remained silent.
---
Elsewhere.
Within an abandoned Umbrella simulation zone, silence pressed heavily against the ruins.
Ada Wong walked beside Jack.
"Jack, what do you come here to make?"
"Naturally is prepares rape you."
Ada stopped. "Plays this joke again. I angry."
Jack chuckled, then crouched.
Five glowing beads appeared in a burst of blue light.
"I must fuse these five corpse gems."
Ada stared. "These corpse gems?"
"Yes."
"They contain T-Virus."
Ada's voice lowered. "This really?"
"Sure."
Jack's tone shifted, almost academic.
"If fused individually earlier, T-Cell adapts single attribute. Rejects others."
He raised the gems slightly.
"Now fuses together — T-Cell gains five attributes simultaneously."
Ada's brows knit. "But your body withstand?"
Jack smiled.
"Confidence."
A blue flash.
A shield formed in his hand.
The air itself seemed to tense.
Something extraordinary — or catastrophic — was about to begin.
