TFC Novelization - Full Control

She was still holding her breath as she stepped up behind Wesker. She raised the sonic disrupter, pointed the parabolic reflector at the back of his head, and fired.

She wore specially designed earplugs, but even so, the sound that blasted forth from the weapon pierced her brain like a pair of red-hot metal spikes jammed into her ears. But the pain was a small price to pay for the magnificent sight of Wesker’s head being torn apart by sonic waves and reduced to globs of red jelly that splattered onto the computer monitors and control console. She deactivated the sonic disruptor and lowered the weapon to her side. Physically, Dania’s stomach turned at the sight of the bloody gobbets smeared across the electronic equipment, but emotionally she was elated. She’d done it! She’d defeated the vaunted Albert Wesker, the Umbrella Corporation’s Biggest Bad. Now she would take his place and—

Her instincts screamed a warning then. Something was wrong, she could feel it, but she couldn’t tell what… And then it came to her. Wesker’s headless body still sat in his chair, his hands resting on the console. The body should’ve gone limp, slumped forward, or perhaps slid sideways out of the chair and fallen to the floor. And the neck should be a ragged stump that gushed blood, but flesh had sealed over the wound, leaving it smooth and undamaged.

“Oh no,” Dania whispered.

Wesker’s headless body then stood and turned toward her. In a blur, its right hand snatched the sonic disruptor from her with blinding speed, and crushed it as easily as if it had been made of balsa wood. The hand opened, allowing the pieces of the shattered weapon to fall to the floor. And then, impossibly, Wesker began to speak.

“I have complete control over my body, Dania. Did you really think I’d be foolish enough to keep my brain somewhere it was so easy to get at? It is spread throughout my entire body, and I’ve created multiple chemical backups of my memory that are stored in different organs. I am almost impossible to kill.”

His voice was muffled somewhat, and it seemed to be coming from the center of his body. A second later, Dania learned why when Wesker’s hand unzipped the front of his black uniform to reveal a vertical seam running from his throat to his navel. It was, Dania realized with sick horror, a large mouth, and it was lined with sharp white teeth.
