Chapter 80 - Chapter 80 - Bison (2)

---Several Days Earlier---

Having received an invitation to meet with the Head of Umbrella Corporation, M. Bison wasn't about to say no. After all as it stood the man who sent him the invitation was his greatest benefactor at the moment. It was only thanks to the chaos he caused in the world that Bison could amass such power that he could feel his ascension to godhood nearing. Gracing his benefactor with an audience one time couldn't hurt, after all if he was going to sow more chaos Bison wanted in on it.

Arriving at Umbrella HQ in Raccoon City, Bison looked on at the swarms of Undead roaming the mostly abandoned city. Seeing the abominations that had granted him all this power, he couldn't help but smile just thinking about all the chaos they would continue to cause into the future. Walking in from the helipad, Bison was greeted by two maids who said they would escort him to the man in charge. Observing his surroundings as he followed them, he looked into the Control Room to see all the carnage the new creations Umbrella had unleashed were causing around the globe.

Seeing monitors display the downfall of Shelters people were hiding in, he could almost feel their terror standing there. Certainly it wasn't possible for him to draw in their fear from so far away, but it would be there for a long time afterwards for him to collect. Witnessing people be torn apart by the Undead and Demons, he stifled his laughs as people pushed others back to try and save themselves. His enemies had always tried to see the goodness in the hearts of the people, but where was all that good now. The only thing he had seen since the beginning was how far humans were willing to go to save themselves. For him it was like a dinner and show all at once.

'He has made this almost like an art.', Bison thought with devilish smile, 'I think I could actually see us being friendly depending on what this meeting is about.'

Continuing on from there, the maid led him to a large black wall that almost appeared to be one large piece. Knocking on what must of been a door, the maids announced his arrival and were immediately told to let him in. Opening the doors for him, he used his powers to sense out the room to ensure they were alone. It wasn't that he was afraid, but he always liked to know the situation before entering a room. Not sensing anyone else in the room aside from his host, Bison strolled into the room confidentially.

Seeing the Leader of Umbrella stand up from his desk wearing a leather coat, Bison could feel the power emanating from the man before him. It was anything like his Psycho Power, it was more of an otherworldly power that he was feeling. The man before him held an overwhelming pressure that would have made lesser men crumple under his gaze. Noticing the blood red eyes behind the sunglasses he wore, Bison knew he had enhanced himself with the last tech Umbrella had. It wasn't just that though, it was almost like there was very little human left in him.

"Welcome to Umbrella.", Wesker told him offering him a hand shake, "It's a pleasure to meet the infamous Leader of Shadaloo, M. Bison."

"As is it a delight to meet the Leader of Umbrella Corp and the Bringer of the End Times, Albert Wesker.", Bison said shaking his hand and playing along with the flow.

"It's Dr. Albert Wesker.", Wesker remarked with smirk, "That said, there is no point in the title when the world is going to be reborn anew. Humanity is at the brink, and soon will be a thing of the past."

"May I ask what you asked me here for Dr. Wesker?", Bison asked getting straight to the point.

"No need to hurry, your business of causing mayhem has only gone up during these dark times. I have been keeping tabs on all of your...fun.", Wesker faking a chuckle, "Causing the collapse of the British Defenses, obliterating the Brazilian Super Shelter, and even sinking hundreds of ships of fleeing survivors all to increase your Psychokinetic powers."

"Yes, I have you to thank for setting this situation up for me.", Bison stated, "It was thanks to you that my enemies are in too much disarray to stop me, and you setup all of this fear for me to feast upon."

"It's all just a byproduct of my plan, think nothing of it.", Wesker said observing him, "That said, you do still have enemies out there don't you?"

"Of course, but we are in the process of hunting them down.", Bison told him as there was nothing to hide about that, "All of us have our enemies, but none are able to stand up to us."

"You and I share a similar problem like that, both of us have enemies that we need to hunt down.", Wesker remarked motioning for him to take a seat, "For example, I know some of your most dangerous enemies happen to Ken Masters, Ryu, Chun-Li, Cammy, Guile, and other martial artists from around the globe."

"Yes...they are among the most annoying people I call my enemies.", Bison agreed curious about where this was going, "How does this affect you?"

"Well I am sure that your intelligence network has been in disarray what with everything going on.", Wesker stated folding his hands, "What if I told you they all managed to meet up, and are organizing a resistance?"

"...go on...", Bison replied as his intelligence network was indeed compromised at the moment.

"Currently they are in Alaska, Unmak Island to be exact.", Wesker informed him as he slid a small folder towards him, "Most of them were saved from being devoured by a thorn in my side, my son Victor. I abandoned my son leaving him for dead in Japan. After the training he had as a child I suspected he would likely make a small group with his little friends, but things turned out far worse than I expected."

Opening the file to see the camera photos from Victor's rescue of Ryu and company, Bison's face grew serious. Reviewing their movements through Asia and eventually to Alaska, Bison understood how they slipped through the cracks as Asia was a genuine nightmare at the moment. Getting any information out cost dozens of lives as the hordes there were so large. Learning that Victor has also saved additional allies of Ryu's, Bison understood the reason for this meeting.

"I asked you here to form an alliance with you. At this time you and I both have enemies that have joined forces. Based on the information I have, my deceased wife experimented on our son and made him what I would consider a Higher Being.", Wesker stated.

"I will be the judge of that.", Bison laughed.

Playing footage they had of Victor's many escapades, Bison's laughed quieted when he watched him lift a building off it's foundations. Not only that, he was interested in how he wasn't even fazed by missiles, gunfire, or the abominations terrorizing the world.

'Interesting...perhaps I have found the perfect body!', Bison thought, 'A sturdy body like that...I could easily capture my enemies. The boy hasn't likely trained all that much because his form is sloppy. Using his own body to slaughter his group would bring me overwhelming power!!'

"As you can see, conventional methods are ineffective against him. He has already told me he wants me dead, and honestly I admit I deserve it.", Wesker laughed, "It is hard to choose an emotion because as his enemy it is irritating, but as his father I feel proud that my son managed to do all of this himself. Sure you could argue he had help, but he is the one that organized and planned it all out. His brilliance exceeded my wildest dreams, had I known he would do all this I would have brought him under my wing as my future replacement but it is not to be now. Had I done so I would have secured our position as the Leader of the New World Order."

"So what do you recommend then?", Bison questioned.

"Well getting my assets anywhere close to him is impossible. Somehow he has managed to increase the fighting potential of his group, and had been pushing the only forces I control in the area back. As it stands the last remaining sizable force I have is in Anchorage keeping a rouge military base in line.", Wesker advised watching Bison's facial expressions, "That's where you come in."

"You want me to take the alone?", Bison inquired knowing it wasn't beneficial for him to do this for nothing.

"Of course not, I know that you would have issues with all the assets he has as well. That's why I am wanting you to give him a message. He can have Alaska, but I won't tolerate losing anything else.", Wesker stated watching for an subtle reactions, "To make that point, I feel a demonstration is in order."

Snapping his fingers, the doors to the waiting room opened. Walking into the room like robots, several hulky beasts dragged familiar faces into the room. Turning to get a better view of them, Bison let a cruel smile creep onto his face. Seeing several allies and friends of Ryu's group tied up, Bison felt this alone was worth taking the time to meet Wesker.

"Knowing my son's track record of chasing women, I am sure that Miss Chun-Li and Miss Cammy are almost certainly in his harem.", Wesker smirked, "I think using their dear friends as an example would be a sufficient warning, wouldn't you agree? These are just some of the people my men have captured, we currently have sixteen people in cells here."

"Agreed, watching their friends be slaughtered would do the trick.", Bison said looking them over, "You said you had sixteen of them? This could be quite fun actually."

"You fucking Suka!", Zangief shouted at Bison.

"It's nice to see you too, Worm!", Bison said slamming a kick into Zangief's gut.

"You won't get away with this!!", Sean refuted, "Ken and Ryu are going to clean your clock just like they always do!!"

Planting a harder kick into his chest, everyone in the room heard his bones crack. Looking over at her brother, his sister told him to stop talking. She understood Sean was to weak to act cocky with Bison and Wesker, he had too much confidence in his strength and it was blinding him to the truth. Bison was someone that Ken and Ryu both struggled to push back yet her borhter was acting like it was a sure bet they'd win. Laura knew that it required a team effort to stop him, it was just her brother's blind trust in Ken that was driving his snap decision.

"I...I won't...Sis...", Sean wheezed, "Master Ken will...he will save us..."

"Ha!", Wesker mocked him with a cruel smile, "You have been holding out hope for weeks that he was coming, but he is all the way in Alaska. How exactly is he going to get all the way to save you?"

Unable to come up with a response for that, Sean was still very hopeful that Ken was working on a plan to save them. Seeing that the young boy was still optimistic, Wesker decided to destroy that spark of hope in short order.

"Alright kid, let's make the assumption that Ken is going to rescue you...wouldn't he go to Brazil or back to his Dojo first?", Wesker pointed out with a grin, "After all, how would he know that you are in my hands? Last he would have heard you were in Brazil, right?"

"He...he'd...", Sean tried to argue but that sole fact had escaped his notice.

He had been so caught up in Ken saving them that he forgot Ken didn't know they were here. If Ken were to look anywhere it would be at shelters near the Dojo or his home in Brazil. Thinking about it more though...would Ken even think they were alive given the chaos going outside. As his dream for rescue started to crumble, Wesker and Bison started laughing at him and the others who were holding onto some hope for rescue.

"Face it, the only place your sister and you are going is under my boot.", Bison told him with a twisted smile, "Every single one of you worms has been a pain in my side, but now it is I who have the upper hand on you!"

Watching Bison's actions from behind his sunglasses, Wesker was happy his plan was working.

"You...You keep your hands off her!!", Sean shouted at the mention of his sister.

"Boy...calm down.", Zangeif said, "They are playing mind games with you. You need to remain calm, and think things through!"

"Are we though?", Wesker asked eyeing his sister, "You know, I have been very busy with my work. I haven't really had a chance to have some food at all."

Due to the injections and modifications he had, his body required him to eat humans like Undead did. He could could eat normal food to suppress his hunger, but the beast within him craved fresh human bodies. Still though, no one else in the room would have known that about him. The reason he phrased it that way was for one reason only.

'Take the bait you idiot boy.', he thought.

"Don't you touch her!!", Sean screamed pulling against his chains in anger, "I'll kill you!!"

"Sean stop it!!", Laura shouted, "You are going to get yourself killed!!"

"Boy steady yourself!", Zangeif ordered, "These men aren't your equal!!"

"I won't let you hurt my sister!! I got strong so I could protect my family!!", Sean shout as the hulking undead holding his chain suddenly let it go.

Realizing that what Wesker was intending to do, both Zangeif and Laura's hearts dropped. Shouting at Sean not to attack Wesker, the two of them saw Wesker was already ready to attack him. In his blind rage though, Sean didn't see Wesker's hands moving at his side.

"Boy don't it!!", Zangeif barked.

"Sean, don't!!", Laura pleaded.

"Don't you fucking touch my-", Sean started to say as he launched himself forward.

The moment he was over the desk, his voice stopped coming out for some reason. Seeing the world around him start to spin, he looked in horror as he saw his own headless body falling on Wesker's desk.

"SEAN!!", Laura cried out as his head hit the floor, "YOU ANIMALS!!!"

"Funny coming from the one wearing the chains!", Bison laughed smashing her face into the floor with his boot, "This is the New World Order now, the Weak will be crushed beneath the Strong! Today's meeting has been most enjoyable and I have enjoy this little game we played with these pests. I shall fulfill your request, and sent that message for you."

Thanking him for accepting, Wesker ordered the maids to bring up the other prisoners for Bison to take. Having a cup of tea before leaving, Wesker told Bison he would leave the wording to him for the message. Dragging the remaining captured people into the office, all of the saw Sean's lifeless body on the desk. Turning their heads away, all of them could hear Laura's sobs into the carpet. While some of them may not have been friends of hers...losing someone you love was something everyone could understand. Leaving with them shortly afterwards, Wesker took a seat in his chair and glanced at Sean's body. Licking the blood off his cheek, The Beast living in Wesker savored the taste.

'It would be a shame to let a fresh kill go to waste...', he thought letting The Beast feed.

Closing the doors to his office, Wesker let the monster in him eat it's fill before disposing of the bits it didn't want. Fixing his collar once it was all over, Wesker bagged the tea cup Bison used for research. Having gotten what his main objective was, all that was left was to watch the battle unfold. He was certain that it would be quite the show as both men had an unknown upper limit that he wanted to see. Knowing his son, once Bison showed up he would fight him. Whether or not he could beat Bison though was a different story, one that had a happy ending for him either way.

'Either way I am rid of one obstacle in completely restarting humanity.', he thought.

Knocking on his door, the Head Maid announced that Bison had left with all the prisoners per his orders. Thanking her for the update, Wesker stopped her before she left. Handing her the bagged tea cup, he told her to take it down to the lab for DNA removal.

"Tell the scientists I want them to find the genes that stimulate Bison's psychokinetic powers. If possible, I would like to include them in the new project they are working on.", Wesker told her in a monotone voice.

"Yes sir.", the maid bowed.

"Also, do you think my acting was good?", he questioned.

"If I didn't know you prior, I would have thought you were an ordinary man with incredible power.", the maid replied.

"Good, lastly have our team send in drones so I can watch this fight.", Wesker stated, "Everything is to be recorded for future use and development of Project Revelation."
