Behold! A crack fic idea!

Extra point if each time one of the Desmonds does something that goes against the timeline we get a flashforeward to the present day, and it's a different kind of post-apocalypse each time.

Extra extra points if the post-apocalypses get increasingly absurd and ridiculous as the story goes on.

Okay, so for this one, we have:

Clay!Desmond

Layla!Desmond

Minevra!Desmond

The Reader

which means I can do this:

How the Desmonds met cat!Desmond:

I kinda like the idea that we never learn who sent cat!Desmond into the past. Hell, we never learn he’s actually a Desmond as well. He just keeps following them and likes to use his claws to get a ‘piggyback ride’. XD

A visual representation of how the Desmonds are tackling every major events of their ancestors:

(not part of the visualization: the dude in charge of the Templars in Cyprus because the Desmonds actually forgot about him and thought he was just one of the mooks)

And then we have Elijah who tries to act all serious and kinda like a dick (it's the Aita genes) but can't help but lean into any kindness and gentleness the Desmonds show him.

The poor modern gang:

(It would be funny if they didn't realize that there are multiple Desmond running around at first so they assume they only have one Desmond to worry about)

Rebecca updating her notes every few weeks:

The modern day gang's relationship with the Desmonds (that the Desmonds are unaware of)

Also... this was the first ridiculous 'apocalypse' I thought of XD

What the structure of the idea would probably be:

#assassin's creed #desmond miles #elijah miles

My pitch for a live-action Resident Evil show (because I’m tired of so many bad adaptations):

Main Story

(NOTE: This is meant to be canon with the games)

The year is 2018, one year after the events of RE7. New Zealand is hosting a summit regarding the control of bioweapons and has invited numerous countries to attend. Among the attendees are -

1) Ashley Graham, who is now a famous anti-BOW activist and was invited to the summit as the keynote speaker

2) Sheva Alomar, who is acting as the BOW expert for the representative of Burkina Faso (which is retconned to be where Kijuju is located)

3) Carlos Oliveira, who was hired by Leon S. Kennedy to watch over Ashley. Carlos was personally recommended to Leon by Jill Valentine.

During Ashley’s main speech to the world leaders in attendance, a mysterious group starts a C-virus outbreak. Carlos takes Ashley to safety while Sheva manages to join them, along with a few other survivors. The area is contained by the New Zealand military and the BSAA, who now face the dilemma of how to end the outbreak. Representing this side of the story is new character Capt. Anthony Taumata, a New Zealand SAS operative who has never dealt with bioweapons before.

As this is happening, a young woman wakes up in a hospital. She’s suffering from severe amnesia with the only clue to her identity being a burnt medical report which lists her name as “Alice”. As she exits the hospital, she learns that she’s trapped in the middle of the containment zone.

So, we have three main storylines going into this show; Ashley, Sheva, Carlos, and a few other survivors surrounded by zombies, Capt. Taumata trying to rescue the survivors and figure out who caused the outbreak, and Alice trying to regain her memory while surviving the outbreak. As the season goes on, the three storylines eventually merge and ends with a showdown against the bioterrorists who started the outbreak.

The main plot reveals are -

1) The bioterrorists are the Los Illuminados, returning from RE4. They’ve reformed under Osmund Saddler’s grandson, Hector Saddler, who is the main villain of season 1. His goal was to avenge his grandfather by killing Ashley Graham. He also thought that Leon S. Kennedy would be attending the summit to watch over Ashley, unaware that Carlos had been hired for the job.

2) Alice’s full name is Alice Saddler. She is revealed to be Hector’s sister (thus, Osmund’s other grandchild) and fellow co-conspirator. Despite learning this, the reason why Alice lost her memory isn’t revealed…until the post-credit.

3) The season 1 post-credit is a flashback that reveals that Blue Umbrella had captured Alice a few days prior. Realizing they could use Alice to infiltrate Los Illuminados, they put Alice through an experimental procedure meant to brainwash her and turn her into a sleeper agent. However, the procedure went awry due to the start of the outbreak. So, instead of getting brainwashed, the unfinished procedure wiped Alice’s memories. While the procedure was happening, Alice hears one of the Blue Umbrella agents say, “Don’t tell this to Chris Redfield, you know he wouldn’t approve”, hinting that there’s something sinister happening behind-the-scenes that Chris isn’t aware of.

Miscellaneous Stuff

1) In case it wasn’t obvious, Alice Saddler is meant to be the game universe’s version of Alice from the Milla Jovovich movies. Same amnesia-centric character, but with a completely different backstory.

2) Capt. Taumata and Alice are set up as the lead protagonists for future seasons. Taumata joins the BSAA while Alice goes on the run to figure out the reason why her memory was wiped. Carlos, Ashley, and Sheva would still be around, but in a recurring/guest capacity.

3) While I don’t have a story for season 2, I’d probably bring in Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin as major characters (maybe they’re sent to capture Alice for her ties to Los Illuminados).

4) Ashley, Sheva, and Carlos should have at least one flashback scene that is from their respective games.

5) I imagined either 8-9 episodes per season. For the show’s overall vibe, maybe “Stranger Things” would be a good reference point. Also the movies “Aliens” and “Predator”. But definitely NOT “The Walking Dead” or “The Last of Us” since this isn’t a post-apocalyptic show.

Pitch for Resident Evil 9 (IX):

The Campaigns

1) Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin

2) Carlos Oliveira and Javier Reyes (new character)

3) Alice (new character) and Ashley Graham

/

The Plot

In 2023, Ashley Graham, who is now serving as the United States’ ambassador to Brazil since the events of RE4, visits the city of Rio de Janeiro to attend a conference with Brazil’s president Jose Ferreira. During the conference, terror strikes as the city falls under a bioweapons outbreak. With Ashley trapped, Ingrid Hunnigan contacts Leon S. Kennedy for another rescue mission, but much to her surprise, Leon has gone “off the grid” for reasons unknown (Leon’s story is reserved for the DLC).

Due to Leon’s absence, Hunnigan contacts two other allies to retrieve Ashley; DSO agent Sherry Birkin (recommended by Leon) and C Op Esp operative Carlos Oliveira (only because he was already in Brazil). Sherry also recruits freelance mercenary Jake Muller to help her out.

However, upon arriving at Rio de Janeiro, Sherry, Jake, and Carlos get separated by a zombie horde. Carlos, while on his own, joins forces with police officer Javier Reyes, who was the sole survivor of his unit.

While all this is happening, a woman named Alice wakes up at the bottom of a waterfall. She has lost all her memory, which she assumes happened when she went down the waterfall and hit her head. While wandering around the area, she stumbles upon a destroyed campsite that seems to have been bombed to pieces. Alice then finds a fatally wounded survivor who tells her only one thing before dying; “find Ashley Graham, Alice”. Despite not knowing what that means, Alice sets out to find this Ashley, hoping by doing so, she’ll unlock her memories.

So, RE9’s story can be broken down to this; Jake and Sherry looking for Ashley, Carlos teaming up with local cop Javier after being separated from the group, and Alice teaming up with Ashley despite not knowing who she is and why she’s important.

/

The Campaign Plot Twists

1) Jake and Sherry learn that there is a terrorist group called the Weskerites that are dedicated to accomplishing the late Albert Wesker’s goals. The leader, Raven Romero (imagine Harley Quinn if she was a Resident Evil character), reveals to them that the Weskerites assisted the masterminds behind the outbreak. Raven manages to escape the city despite Jake and Sherry’s best efforts to kill her (Raven becomes a recurring villain in future games).

2) Carlos and Javier learn that President Jose Ferreira was part of the conspiracy behind the zombie outbreak in Rio de Janeiro. They learn that he was planning on using the event as a false flag operation to ensure his re-election since he had become massively unpopular (something along the lines of blaming foreign terrorists for the outbreak). Jose is killed by Carlos and Javier after he injects himself with a Tyrant-type virus that was given to him by the actual masterminds.

3) Alice and Ashley learn that the Connections (the group that Mia Winters was part of) supplied the virus to the masterminds. The Connections’ representative, a South Korean drug trafficker named Oh Jin-seok, reveals that the reason why the outbreak happened was that the Brazilian military bombarded their camp (the destroyed campsite that Alice woke up to). When Ashley and Alice asks Jin-seok who bought the virus from Connections, that’s when we get the MAIN plot twist.

/

The MAIN Plot Twist

Oh Jin-seok reveals that the masterminds are a man named Solomon…and his sister Alice. That’s when Alice remembers who she is; her full name is Alice Saddler and she is the granddaughter of the late Osmund Saddler. She and her older brother Solomon are the new leaders of Los Illuminados, which we learn has been slowly rebuilding themselves after the events of RE4.

Alice and Solomon formed the plan with the Weskerites, the Connections, and President Ferreira to start an outbreak in Rio de Janeiro. The reason; to avenge their grandfather. The only reason why they chose Rio was because they timed it with Ashley Graham’s visit to the city. They also assumed that by putting Ashley in danger, they could lure Leon S. Kennedy out as well. All this death and destruction was solely to kill Leon and Ashley for revenge.

However, at some point, Alice had a change of heart. Deciding that the deaths of thousands just to avenge Osmund Saddler wasn’t worth it, Alice tried to stop the operation. Unbeknownst to Alice, the Brazilian government had already found out about the Saddlers’ plans. This led to the destruction of the Connections camp and Alice being thrown down a waterfall and losing her memory.

(NOTE: The reason why the Brazilian government found out about Los Illuminados’ plans is also explained in a DLC)

The finale is a confrontation with Solomon Saddler, the game’s true main villain. Alice, Ashley, Jake, Sherry, Carlos, and Javier all have to work together to stop Solomon in a multi-stage final showdown. Solomon is, of course, defeated and the outbreak is eventually put under control by the combined efforts of the Brazilian military, Blue Umbrella and the BSAA. The game ends with the six survivors being flown out of the city, with Ashley promising to Alice that they can put her in the witness protection program.

/

DLCs

1) For my Family: Set 3 years before RE7, Mia Winters and Oh Jin-seok are sent by Connections to deal with a minor outbreak caused by one of their clients. Mia and Jin-seok later learn that the outbreak was deliberately caused by Alice and Solomon Saddler to test the viruses. At the end of the DLC, we cut to a few hours after RE7, with Mia in an interrogation room with DSO agents. She agrees to become an informant in exchange for the safety of herself, Ethan, and Rose. With Mia Winters’ intel, the US government informs the Brazilian government about the Saddlers’ operation, leading to the bombardment and Alice losing her memory.

2) Off the Grid: Taking place simultaneously with RE9, Leon S. Kennedy goes off the grid in order to help Ada Wong with a mission in Papua New Guinea. Ada had tracked down one of Albert Wesker’s abandoned lab sites and needed Leon’s help to infiltrate it. At the end of the DLC, Leon and Ada learn that this facility was holding the corpse of Steve Burnside (from Code Veronica), which has been well-preserved. Ada then ponders if they can revive Steve.

/

Special Notes

1) Alice, in case it wasn’t obvious, is loosely based on the Alice from the live-action movies.

2) I imagined the game to be a third-person shooter along the lines of the remakes (and The Last of Us).

3) The 3 campaigns are distinctly different from one another in terms of gameplay; Jake and Sherry have special powers / Carlos and Javier are normal people / Alice can fight while Ashley only has defense since she’s a noncombatant.

4) Technically speaking, despite the return of several previous characters from different installments, this game is a direct sequel to RE4.

5) Raven Romero and Oh Jin-seok survive the game. They become the new “Big Bads” of Resident Evil, similar to how Albert Wesker was the Big Bad up until RE5.

6) Raven Romero’s name is a reference to George A. Romero.
