Story to go with the image:
Upon entering the secret confinements of a seemingly abandoned military base, Claire and Chris heard something. It was a sound all too familiar to the siblings.
Claire looked up, whilst Chris unholstered his gun. He the proceeded to mutter something, under his breath...."It seems I didn't properly finish off the job in Racoon City."
Claire looked at Chris with signs of discomfort.
Both walked forwards, only to see what they thought was Leon, being eaten by zombies.
Shocked, Claire withdrew her hunting knife, and prepared herself. Chris took aim.
“Look, they're tearing him apart!!! He's done for! I can't believe it!” Said Chris
Claire looks up to see a zombie feasting on Leon's brains, whilst the other was making a meal of his arm!
Those sons of b******!
Chris and Claire were shocked. This was a mournful moment for them both.
Then, all of a sudden, a shuffle was heard near Chris.
Chris turned around, only to see one of the undead heading straight towards him.
"You're hungry huh? Well, eat this!" said Chris, whilst taking aim at the zombies head.
Claire looked over towards the threat, and noticed something in the distance.
"It can't be...." said Claire in disbelief.
She looked harder, and found herself looking at what she thought was a ghost. It was Leon!
Claire then peered to the right, and noticed Krauser, having what seemed like a heated debate with Leon.
Leon looked furious! He pointed at Krauser, shouting out all kinds of accusations.
Both Leon and Krauser were fuming by this point, but all of a sudden, just when a fight was about to kick off between them, Krauser put his hand to his ear.
"Could there be a higher authority behind all of this?" Leon wondered. Krauser just glared at Leon, and claimed he had other matters to attend to, before abruptly leaving the scene.
After this event, Claire and Chris had dealt with the threat that was in front of them, and called Leon over......still confused with the fact they're seeing two Leon's.
“Man, are you two a sight for sore eyes!” said Leon merrily.
The real Leon explained to them that it's Umbrella again. Except this time, they're cloning people.
After the Javier mission where Krauser and Leon teamed up together, Umbrella took Leon in for "questioning" against his will. This soon turned into a controlled activity, leading to extreme experimentations being performed on him.
"I wanted to escape. I wanted to leave, but Umbrella made it impossible for me to do so. In the end, I had to force my way out!" claimed Leon.
“Krauser was sent out to bring me in, but something must have spooked him. He just this minute fled the scene.”
Leon explained the rest, and told them that the mess lying on the floor (Leon?) was nothing but a mere clone of himself.
With that, the three set off, delving deeper into the unknown territory of Umbrella's secret base. In order to resolve this, they needed to find out what the true intentions of Umbrella actually were, and more importantly; how they could put an end to it all!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes - I wanted to give the image a darker and more sinister look, to fit in with the Resident Evil universe.
I had a lot of images from all different angles (over 20), so narrowing it down was a pretty hard thing to do. However, I chose this image as I feel the lack of lighting helped with the eerieness (flash was off for this one), and there wasn't much obstructing the background.
I quite like the composition, and achieved what I'd set out to do.
This was to put everything in such a way that the image itself would tell a story.
The angle I chose was inspired by Resident Evil 4 and 5, and I figured it'd be nice to make it seem like you're "playing" as Claire. You haven't actually been able to play as her in the Resi 4 and 5 styled games, as you well know, so I think I'm happy with it.
Lastly, I was a bit put off witht he fact there were two Leon's, so this is why I chose to count one as a clone, and make a sub story for it (even if it doesn't quite fit into the cannon storyline).
Location - A snow covered glass table, in my back garden.

LOCATION: CAPCOM HQ - OSAKA, JAPAN
Unfortunately, when I arrived here during my holiday in Japan, I was jumped by a zombie, with no refuge in the closed HQ. Luckily, the RE crew managed to arrive in time to save the day. Here is a snapshot taken by an onlooker at the scene.
NOTE: The image does in fact contain all 6 cubes, as you can see the gun from Redfield in just behind Military Leon. If you want all 6, I can change the image accordingly! Although this was the most entertaining one of the lot I took.

Story: Welcome to the Noir-era.
Our heroes are making a run for it. Chris,Claire, Leon, Krauser are all running away from the big zombie army and sadly had to leave other Leon as food. Even the Merchant couldn't help them with his awsome gear. I hope for all of us they will survive.....Resident Evil Noir!

The Team: Zombie (Tamed), Jack, Leon, Chris, Noel (Leon spelled backwards) and Claire.
We took a trip to Liverpool and visited many weird and wonderful places. This is a selection of the best and favourite pictures of the day and how the day panned out for our fearless crew.
The Cubees began their adventure looking out over the river Mersey at the Liverpool skyline. A plan of action was formulated and the adventure began heading over from Seacombe.
Location: Seacombe Ferry Terminal, Wallasey, CH44, UK (53°24'35.21"N, 3° 0'58.68"W)

The teams’ first stop was to gather some vital intelligence on the area at The University of Liverpool where they took part in a lesson.
Location: University of Liverpool, Chadwick Lecture Theaters , Liverpool, UK (53°24'16.73"N, 2°57'50.97"W)

Direct Link: http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad176/Little_Red_Devil1985/DSC04025.jpg
The team then headed over to the Engineering Faculty to see what equipment was on offer at our teams’ disposal. “Hmmmmm” these both look very interesting, a rocket booster and a jet engine could come in handy.
Location: Department of Engineering, Victoria Building, Liverpool, UK (53°24'21.87"N, 2°58'2.79"W)

The team headed past the Metropolitan Cathedral and discovered the tombs had been disturbed. Someone or something had been released.
Location: Roman Catholic Cathedral, Mount Pleasant, Liverpool, L3 5TQ (53°24'18.84"N, 2°58'6.37"W)

Heading back to over to the University they activate their Zombie Attraction Beacon which has been cleverly disguised as the Engineering department building. The colour changing beacon would attract and hypnotize any zombies who gaze at it.
Location1: University of Liverpool Engineering Building, Liverpool, UK (53°24'21.47"N, 2°58'7.50"W)
Location2: Brodie Tower, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK (53°24'24.52"N, 2°58'6.51"W)http://i933.photobucket.com/albums/ad176/Little_Red_Devil1985/DSC04057.jpg

They head to their underground HQ, The Cavern Club, where they find evidence from a past team, The Beatles. Who used their music to defend themselves against the swarms of zombified followers.
Location: Cavern Club, 10 Mathew Street, Liverpool, L2 6RE (53°24'22.64"N, 2°59'16.50"W)

The plan was working and all the zombies were hypnotized to converge on the roof of Liverpool ONE. Our team had one last trick up their sleeve, a super weapon against the zombie hordes. The SHREDDER!!!
Location: Liverpool ONE, 14 Paradise Street, Merseyside, L1 8JF (53°24'11.69"N, 2°59'18.80"W)

With this weaponized wheel the zombies will be torn limb from limb and the threat to Liverpool eliminated.

. . . and so ended out Tour of Liverpool. All zombie threats eliminated and the last picture symbolizes the funfilled day me and my girlfriend had with the Cubee team.
A video slideshow of more of the pictures can be found by visiting this youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPpADC4afcc
Sorry for the long post..... Really had fun doing this tour.
Going on the assumption that we were only allowed to submit one pic per person, I therefore have 2 entries, 1 is mine, the other is my dad who has an even more sadistic mind than mine...
Originally I was going to recreate left 4 dead and take a picture of it at the beach beside the lighthouse however it was way to windy to even attempt it (Typical Scottish Weather!!!). So this led me to keep it nice and comical...

Who wants some toasted zombie with a side of claire redfield?!
My dad's entry is something sinister, he likes using his stove you see... so what better way to get rid of "the evidence" than by burning them to a crisp, there were no witnesses ok!!!!
