AURORA

Aurora raged in the void as she patiently waited for her damaged wings to regenerate…

Her wings were not the only thing that was damaged but it was the most important as far as she was concerned…

Her arms would grow back, and the scars on her body would probably heal as well, but the wound on her pride would remain until the end of time…

The moment Catherine Crawford arrived, Aurora was feeling grateful because killing Zeel's sister would send a clear message, and probably even get the elusive Homo-Superior to come to her…

But…

Let's just say that nothing went as planned…

Within a couple of seconds of Catherine's arrival, Aurora found herself running away with all the might she could muster…

Briefly… very fucking briefly… Aurora even considered returning to Heaven and living as all Angels do – fucking Nuns with sticks up their asses…

Yes, she was that desperate to get away from the monster known as Catherine Crawford…

Aurora was embarrassed to acknowledge that someone as powerful as herself was reduced to such a pitiful state by a Crawford – Catherine Crawford nonetheless, a former love rival…

"The Crawfords were made to fuck with me…" Aurora cursed, remembering how Catherine basically kicked her in the ass as they fought, and ironically, Zeel also fucked her in the ass a couple of times during their experimenting phase.

It was one thing to be defeated and lose your pride, it was another thing to be defeated by your ex-boyfriend's sister who was also his ex-girlfriend and lapdog…

Especially, if his soulmate was your sister, who was arguably more beautiful than yourself…

"FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!"

Aurora felt like the countless years she spent in training was completely wasted if she couldn't even best Zeel's favorite lapdog…

And the absolute worst thing…

The thing that would guarantee that she never sleeps another peaceful night…

The thing that disgusted her to her core…

It was the fact that even after everything that just happened…

Even after she battled her sister…

Even after Zeel tried to kill her…

Even after she had her ass handed to her by Catherine…

Even after Zeel told her she was pathetic…

Aurora could not deny the fact that she was heartbroken… her heart was shattered into a million pieces that just kept shattering…

And to have your heart broken meant you had to be in love in the first place… so some part of her, no matter how small, craved Zeel's acknowledgment even after all he had done…

"You're pathetic…" Aurora whispered to herself, eyeing the silver paste of nanites in her hands…

It was the only thing she could take from Zeel, and given the nanites Self-Replicating Nature, it would not even cause a dent in his combat ability…

Just as Aurora was about to toss the silver clump of nanites away, the nanites twirled in her palm, receiving a signal that was originally meant for Zeel…

"Hmmm…" Aurora quirked a brow, doubtful that listening to the transmission would prove anything useful but never in her wildest dreams she could imagine what a goldmine it was…

---BZZZZTTT---

---BZZZZTTT---

---BZZZZTTT---

---BZZZZTTT---

The transmission fluctuated constantly, barely discernible as a transmission at all, but Aurora learned a thing or two from dating Zeel so Nanite technology was not difficult for her to control.

Using the stem of her wings as an antenna to strengthen the signal, Aurora watched the projection that was originally meant for Zeel…

The Silver Clump of Nanites broke into a fine powder, and then changed into the image of a Sentient….

"Transmission #: 0001 – 5672 – 9999

Verification Code: Sentient STARS of Resident Evil Universe

Urgent Message: There has been an anomaly that I was made aware of as soon as you departed The Resident Evil Universe… My orders were to terminate my program after all resources were successfully allocated, but there was one resource that I was made unaware of… Jill Valentine, an insignificant human, which you used to satiate your carnal pleasures was captured by The Umbrella Corporation…

There, she underwent many experiments to enhance the limits of the human mind and physique, which resulted in her body meeting the minimum standards to adapt to the genetic material you left inside her body… As a result of this, Jill Valentine was impregnated with Subject 0001 called 'Crystal Crawford'…

Within the bounds of my programming, I have chosen to appoint myself as a caretaker for the child until further instruction is received… I am forced to place the child in Cryogenic Containment due to her conflicting Homo-Superior, Homo-Sapien Gene pool… I await further instructions knowing fully well that this message may take thousands of years to reach you…

--- Transmission Concluded: STARS --- Multiversal Coordinate: 45-87-23-1111…"

THE RESIDENT EVIL UNIVERSE

"POP… POP… POP… POP… POP…"

Pink lightning flashed across the field of zombies, bursting the zombies head into blood mist every time the child on the wall pointed at a new one…

This was, of course, Crystal Crawford – daughter of Zeel Crawford…

Crystal made popping noises with her mouth every time she pointed at a new zombie, popping its head from dozens of miles away…

Her pink lightning had only grown stronger over the past two years, and though she had the intelligence of a College Professor, Crystal was still a child at heart…

By human standards, Crystal was brilliant for a five-year-old child, but by Homo-Superior standards, she was a bit on the dumber side…

So when Stars, her caretaker, and Sentient, arrived on the wall with several transparent chips in hand, Crystal groaned since she knew it was time to begin her studies…

Crystal had all the innate knowledge of Homo-Superiors, but her emotional view on things always conflicted with knowledge ingrained in her subconscious…

Needless to say, Crystal often suffered from a major identity crisis…

Sometimes, she would be a cute loving child, allowing her mother Jill to hold her, but other times, she would be as calculating as Zeel, at which times, Jill would have to stay far away…

"Time for studies…" Stars called out, knowing that Crystal was ignoring her…

"Psh… I am half Homo-Superior… we don't need to study!" Crystal argued, cheeks puffed as she balanced her slightly chubby body on the edge of the wall that separated civilization from the mutated zombies…

"Don't you wanna be smart for when your father comes to see you?" Stars coaxed and Crystal faltered, codes flickering across her pupils as she downloaded all the information from the transparent chips in Star's hands…

If there was one thing that Crystal responded to… it was anything Stars said using Zeel's name…

Crystal sometimes dreamed of Zeel… a benefit awarded to her through their father-daughter bond; though, she could not see a lot, just a vague impression of battles with Gods and Monsters…

"When is he coming back…" Crystal questioned Stars, and the Sentient could only respond as she always did…

"Sometime within the next hundred years… when you are old enough to jump into the Multiversal Currents as well…"

"Will we see cool worlds like Dad?" Crystal questioned eagerly, her ruby-red eyes blazing with anticipation unmatched…

"Sure…" Stars replied awkwardly, unsure of how to tell Crystal that Zeel was the only one capable of granting anyone a Mbeamer…

Crystal sent a couple more lightning bolts into the hordes of zombies below, but suddenly she paused and grew excited…

"Daddy is coming home…"

"What?" Jill, who had just arrived atop the wall, shook in fear as she darted towards Crystal, attempting to snatch her up and make a break for it…

More than anything, Jill feared that Zeel would one day come back and take Crystal away from her, and apparently, that day was today…

More than once over the past two years, Jill had tried to sneak Crystal away from Civilization, but Crystal always wanted to wait for her dad…

There was no way Jill could force Crystal to do something she didn't want to do…

The last time Jill tried to take Crystal away, the small Homo-Superior Hybrid materialized daggers in her palms and started stabbing her mother…

That incident told Jill one thing – Crystal had no qualms about killing her if push came to shove…

Since then, Jill studied Homo-Superior knowledge extensively, learning everything there was to learn about the culture, hoping to make herself useful to Zeel even a little…

Maybe then, he would allow her to remain at her daughter's side…

The void cracked open, and out came Aurora… her wings unfurled to demonstrate her grandiose…

"Step-Mother?" Crystal shouted, but paused and shook her head "You feel different from Step Mother… are you Step Mother's sister? Yes… So you are Step Mother Number Two…"

Stars was on guard but made no sudden movements because she was aware that there was nothing she could do…

Zeel had a database of enemies to terminate, and Aurora was number 706 on that list, but Stars lacked the power to beat anyone below rating 5,000…

Aurora glanced down at the small, slightly chubby Crystal held in Jill's arms and confirmed that the child was indeed Zeel's…

Aurora noted that Crystal had Zeel's ruby-red slitted eyes…

Her skin was as white as snow, and her silver hair that reached all the way below her knees…

But the child was also incomplete… fighting the Homo-Superior side in favor of the human side of her heritage, but it was obvious which would win out in the end…

"You can call me mother…" Aurora whispered, using her Angelic Voice to enforce the idea that she was Crystal's mother in everyone's mind…

Jill flinched when Aurora claimed her place so bluntly, but a signal from Stars warned Jill that correcting Aurora would be disastrous…

"GIVE ME MY DAUGHTER…" Aurora commanded, and without waiting for Jill to hand her over, Crystal leaped into Aurora's arms…

Aurora smiled happily, pinching Crystal's cheeks with a look of absolute bliss on her face…

"Wanna see something cool?" Aurora asked, and Crystal nodded eagerly…

Aurora gestured to the hordes of zombies outside the wall, releasing a chill from her hand that covered hundreds of miles, freezing every zombie in sight…

"Woah…" Crystal became starry-eyed "Will I be able to do that someday?"

Aurora nodded "You will be able to do much more… maybe even beat your father…"

Hence, Aurora became a mother figure to Crystal Crawford…
