Jill slowly opened her eyes and gasped, quickly sitting up. Her hands trembled as she examined them, realizing — she was okay.
She got out of the bed and looked around. The room looked like a hospital.
She guessed that Y/N must've brought her here. But where was he?
Y/N: "Ah, Jill. You're finally awake. That's good."
Jill: "Y/N? What happened?"
Y/N: "Well, the last thing I remember is that you were trying to cross the border — but you walked right into an imperial amb—"
Jill: "Can't you be serious for once?" she said, rolling her eyes.
Y/N: "Fine, fine. Long story short — Nemesis infected you with a virus, and I carried you here to cure you. It worked."
Jill: "You… found a cure?" she asked, surprised.
Y/N: "Yeah. But you were asleep for a while. You missed out on, well… everything."
Jill: "What do you mean?"
Y/N: "All the monsters are dead, everyone's cured, the city's saved."
Jill: "What?! It's over?"
Y/N: "Yep! The others are waiting outside. The Resident Evil team saved the city!"
She smiled slightly at his humor but felt relief flood through her.
Jill: "Thank God."
Y/N: "Uh… Jill?"
Jill: "What is it?"
When she looked at him again, something felt off.
Y/N: "This might be a bad time to bring this up… but I'm… not feeling… very… good…"
He suddenly dropped to his knees and started vomiting blood. His shades fell off his face.
Jill: "Y/N?!"
She rushed over, but Y/N looked up at her — his eyes glowing red. His breathing grew harsh. He was turning.
Jill: "No… no, please!"
She crawled back, pulling out her pistol. Her hands shook.
Y/N: "You need to shoot me, Jill! If you don't, I'll—"
Jill: "I can't…"
Her voice trembled. She couldn't pull the trigger.
Y/N fully transformed and lunged at her — everything went black.

/Jill's Nightmare Ends/
Jill shot awake, panting and drenched in sweat.
Claire, Sherry, and Bayonetta rushed to her side.
Claire: "Jill! Are you okay?! What's wrong?!"
Jill: "W–Where am I?"
Bayonetta: "You're in Raccoon City's hospital. Y/N brought you here after you were infected."
Jill blinked and looked at her curiously.
Jill: "Who are you?"
Bayonetta: "Name's Bayonetta — one of Y/N's friends."
Jill: "Where is he right now?!"
Bayonetta: "He left with my husband and two others to find your friends."
Jill: "Then we should follow them!"
She tried to get up but stumbled, still dizzy.
Claire: "Hey, slow down. You're still recovering."
Then Jill's attention snapped to the TV — the emergency broadcast announcing the nuclear strike.
Jill: "You've gotta be kidding me!"
Bayonetta: "No time to waste. We have to move — now!"
They hurried out of the room, meeting Tyrell, who had just finished talking to Carlos over the radio.
Tyrell: "Ah, you're finally awake. How was your nap? Sweet dreams?"
Jill: rolling her eyes "Yeah. Real sweet."
Tyrell: "Good news — Carlos and the others found Ada and Leon. They're heading to Umbrella's underground lab.
Bad news — we need to deliver the cure to the army before the city gets nuked. You'll have to find the elevator; it'll take you straight to them."
Jill: "You're not coming with us?"
Tyrell: "I'll follow soon. I'm buying us time with the army."
Jill: nods "Thanks."
Tyrell: "Thank you, Super Cop. Good luck, ladies — and little girl."
The group pushed through the double doors, taking the same path Y/N and the others had taken earlier.
---
/On the Way/
They moved quietly through the dim corridor until Bayonetta broke the silence.
Bayonetta: "Soooo, girls, any guy catch your eye?"
Claire: "Huh?"
Jill: "What do you mean?"
Bayonetta: "You know what I mean. Someone's gotta have your attention~."
Both women blushed slightly while Sherry tilted her head, curious.
Bayonetta: "Oh, I knew it! Who is it?"
Claire: "W–Well… Kai's kinda… hot."
Bayonetta: "Ooooh~ The knife guy? Can't lie, he's got a nice build — and I like his guts."
---
/Meanwhile, with the guys/
Kai: sneezes "Eh?! Who's talking about me!?"
---
/Back to the girls/
Bayonetta: "And you, Jill? Carlos or Y/N?"
Jill: "I–I don't have to answer that!"
Bayonetta: "Oh, come on! Claire told us hers, now it's your turn!"
Claire: "Yeah, come on, Jill!"
Jill: "W–Well… Y/N's… kinda cute…"
Bayonetta: "Awww~ You like the silly, funny type, huh?"
Jill: smiling shyly "It's just… he's so innocent. Funny. Always wants to help people.
Every time I see him smile… my heart just beats faster."
---
/Back to the guys/
Y/N: sneezes "Huh?! Who's talking about me!?"
Kai: "You too?"
Carlos: "Come on! I didn't sneeze once tonight — no one's talking about me?!"
---
/Back to the girls/
Bayonetta: "Damn, girl, you're down bad! You think he knows?"
Jill: "Y–You think so?"
Bayonetta: "Y/N? Please. I've been married to Dante for four years, and he didn't notice until year three!
He thought I was his sister!"
They all burst out laughing until Sherry pointed ahead.
Sherry: "Look! There — the elevator!"
Claire: "Good job, Sherry!"
But then — heavy, thunderous footsteps echoed behind them.
They turned — and froze.
Jill: "What the hell is that?!"
Claire: "Mr. X!"
Bayonetta: "You know this guy?! And what's with the stupid name?!"
Claire: "That thing chased us through the police station! Y/N named him!"
Jill: "To the elevator! NOW!"
They sprinted, diving inside as Sherry frantically mashed the buttons.
Sherry: "Come on, come on, come on!!"
As the doors were almost shut, Mr. X grabbed the sides — forcing them open.
Sherry screamed and clung to Claire while Bayonetta and Jill unloaded bullets into him — to no effect.
Bayonetta: "What is this thing made of!?"
Jill: "COME ON!!"
Suddenly, something pierced through Mr. X from behind — a grotesque, mutated arm.
It was the same creature Y/N and Kai had fought earlier.
When Sherry saw its face, her eyes widened.
Sherry: "Dad!!!"
Bayonetta: "Dad?!"
The elevator shuddered violently under the weight — then dropped, crashing down hard.
---
/With Y/N and the Others/
Y/N, Ada, Leon, Carlos, Dante, and Kai moved through the underground complex.
Aside from a few zombies and infected dogs, it was eerily quiet.
Y/N: "This place is huge!"
Ada: "Not huge — complicated. We have to move quickly."
Kai: "I just hope the others are okay."
Dante: "Ha! Don't worry. My queen Bayonetta's with them. Everything'll be fine."
Carlos: "You really trust your wife that much?"
Dante: "Of course! The only thing that can kill her is herself!"
Ada: "That's… kinda cute."
Dante: "No shame in love, sweetheart."
They kept walking down a narrow stairway.
Y/N led the group — until the door to his left suddenly opened.
A man in a black tactical suit and gas mask stepped out.
---
/The Encounter/
Without thinking, Y/N swung his fist — but the masked man dodged and grabbed his arm.
In a flash, the man drew a knife and aimed for Y/N's neck.
Y/N caught his wrist just in time.
Y/N: smirking "Nice try."
They both kicked at the same time, sending each other back.
The masked man picked up his weapon and aimed it at Y/N — but before anyone could fire, Y/N raised his hand.
Y/N: "Go ahead, guys. I'll handle this."
Dante: "You sure?"
Y/N: "Trust me."
The others exchanged uneasy looks, then nodded and moved on.
Y/N smirked, his gloves glowing faintly purple.
Y/N: "Name's Y/N."
The masked man stared for a second, then dropped his weapon and took a kung-fu stance.
???: "HUNK."
Y/N's grin widened.
They charged, fists colliding — a shockwave of electricity bursting out.
Y/N: "Woah!"
Venom (in his head): "That power… feels similar to mine."
They clashed again — but this time, HUNK moved faster.
His punch hit Y/N square in the chest, sending him flying into the wall with a burst of orange energy.
Y/N: "Ouch! Okay, that hurt!"
Venom: "He's fighting smart. You're just swinging blindly!"
Y/N: "Sorry, I didn't take Kung Fu 101!"
Y/N got back up, wiping blood from his mouth, and charged again.
Now matching HUNK's speed, their fists and kicks blurred in rapid motion.
Y/N landed a solid kick to HUNK's chest, sending him into the wall.
Y/N: "Haven't had this much fun in a long time!"
HUNK: "Can't lie. You're the first person to ever match my strength."
Then — Venom's head emerged from Y/N's back.
Venom: "Carnage. I know it's you."
Y/N: "Huh?!"
A second monstrous head — orange and snarling — appeared from HUNK's back.
Carnage: "And if it isn't my dear brother, Venom."
Y/N: "Brother?!"
HUNK: "…"
Venom: "So this is your host. Impressive."
Carnage: "Yours isn't bad either. Though he seems a bit… unstable."
HUNK: "No time for chit-chat. I have work to do."
Y/N looked at him for a moment, then extended his hand.
Y/N: "Let's meet again. Our battle isn't over."
HUNK looked at the hand — then shook it firmly.
The two symbiotes growled softly as their energy rippled through the handshake.
HUNK: "Don't die. I'd hate to have to kill you as a zombie."
Y/N: "You bet!"
HUNK turned and disappeared down a corridor.
Y/N grinned, stretching his neck, before running after his friends.
