Valenfield

Valenfield is the het ship between Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine from the Resident Evil fandom.

Chris’ Campaign
On the night of July 24th 1998, the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) have been assigned into the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of cannibalistic homicides. Bravo Team had been sent out the previous night and has since ceased radio contact, forcing Alpha Team to investigate their disappearance on top of completing the mission. Alpha Team locates Bravo Team’s downed helicopter and investigates the area. Soon into the search, Alpha Team’s Joseph Frost is attacked by a pack of Cerberuses (mutant dogs) with his body being torn apart. Jill stands horrified at the scene, unable to react. One of dogs takes notice of her and barrels her way. Chris shoots it, saving Jill. Chris wraps an arm around Jill’s neck, yelling for her to “come on” as they and their surviving comrades run into a large mansion seen from afar.

Once inside the mansion, Chris, Jill and Wesker all hear a gunshot. Chris elects himself to investigate alone, while Jill and Wesker stay back to secure the area. As he’s leaving, Jill tells him to “take care”. By the time Chris retraces his steps back to the foyer, Jill and Wesker are gone. He voices where they could have gone when he finds a handgun laying the floor, presuming left behind by Jill or Wesker.

Chris ends up finding Wesker first later that night when Chris hears gunshots and runs for the sound. He finds Wesker, who is surprised Chris is still alive, leading to Chris saying “my words exactly”, before questioning where Jill is. Wesker informs him that he and Jill had gotten separated. Chris accepts that as something plausible, before telling him they need to find a way out of there before they turn into “zombie food”. Soon both men go their separate ways for the time being to continue with their own investigations.

Later that night, Chris finds Jill deep in the underground facilities beneath the mansion, locked in a cell room. Jill runs to the door upon seeing Chris. She tells Chris that Wesker is the mole, and Chris already knowing that from files he saw earlier. Chris struggles to open the door, though to no avail. He tells Jill he’ll be right back. By the time Chris gets back to Jill, he’s confronted Wesker, faced against the Tyrant, the T-002 model and unlocked the cell door. Upon entry, Chris apologizes for making her wait, with Jill claiming she knew he’d come. With fellow team member Rebecca Chambers having set off the mansion’s self-destruct, Chris and Jill run for the outside. Rebecca makes it back to them when all three hear loud sounds erupting from down the hallway. Jill tells Chris she’ll stay back and take care of “them”. Chris protects this, with Jill telling him to find a way to get into contact with another team member, Brad Vickers.

Chris makes it outside, with Jill and Rebecca following not too long after. The Tyrant from before launches itself through the concrete ground, with a battle ensuing; Jill getting attacked first, hitting the side of the industrial elevator. Brad drops a rocket launcher, insisting that Chris use it to kill the Tyrant. Using the rocket launcher, Chris fires at the Tyrant, killing it where it stands. Brad lowers the helicopter, rescuing all three people. The mansion explodes as they’re flying away. Inside the helicopter, Jill falls asleep on Chris’ shoulder.

Resident Evil 5: Lost in Nightmares
In 2006, during the prequel to Resident Evil 5, the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A) receive intel to which Chris and Jill are ordered to apprehend Umbrella’s founder, Oswell E. Spencer. They accept the mission in the hopes of discovering any information on the whereabouts of their former captain, Albert Wesker. Jill unlocks the mansion’s front door and Chris goes in first with Jill following right behind him. They proceed through out the mansion, finding dead bodies littering the floor. Making their way through out the mansion, they come to a piano where Jill plays the accepted song. A wall lowers and Chris shoots and picks up a centaur emblem. They retrace their steps back to the mansion’s foyer and come to a large door, inserting the emblem and unlocking the door. Reading through a document on Spencer’s computer, a wall opens and both head for it. Just before they’re both through, Jill pushes Chris out of the way realizing it’s a trap. With no means of escape on her own, Chris finds the crank to stop the ceiling with spikes from coming down on her, saving her. Back to the foyer, they’re now able to unlock the gate for the basement.

In the basement they descend even further, reeking of a horrid stench. They come across what look like jail cells and mutilated bodies. As the continue forward where they come face-to-face with a Blob, a monster originating from the human prisoners trapped below the Spencer Estate. Throughout the basement, they work together to kill more Blobs. After killing another one, they’re running across a worn out wooden bridge, which breaks under them and they fall. Once they come to, they find out they’re separated with most of their gear gone. Chris and Jill work to meet up back together. Once they do, they come across more Blobs. After killing those, they open the gate to leave the basement.

Chris and Jill make way for Spencer’s main chamber, to discover Wesker standing over Spencer’s deceased body. Chris and Jill open fire on Wesker. An intense fight breaks out with Chris and Jill on the losing end. Wesker holds Jill by her throat and Chris comes to her aid, punching Wesker, any means to get Wesker off of her. Soon Chris and Wesker are engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Jill, seeing Chris in trouble, shoots Wesker, but misses due to his inhuman speed. Wesker then grabs Chris, throwing him across the room. He stands over him before picking him up by his throat, about to deliver a fatal blow when Jill screams, “No!” Without hesitation, she rushes Wesker, throwing them both out a window, down the massive cliffside. Chris leans over the ledge and screams Jill’s name as he watches her and Wesker fall.

The B.S.A.A conducted a three month search for Jill and Wesker’s bodies, though they were never found. Jill was officially declared dead on November 23, 2006. Her name was added to the list of the B.S.A.A members who died in the line of duty. Chris changed from this night onward, becoming cold and cynical. Chris refused to believe that Jill was dead and held on to hope and possibility that she was still alive.

Resident Evil 5
In 2009, three years after Jill’s disappearance, Chris is sent to investigate possible Bio Organic Weapon (B.O.W) smuggling in Africa. It’s there he meets his new partner, Sheva Almoar. When Sheva mentions she will be Chris’ new partner, Chris has a flashback to Jill’s gravestone. Later, Chris and Sheva are saved by Delta Team where Delta Team’s leader, Josh Stone, gives him and Sheva new information on a datachip. Chris inserts the chip into his handheld computer where he sees Jill’s face on the screen. He flashes back again to the night Jill sacrificed herself to save him.

Later, Chris and Sheva come to an area where they find the deceased bodies of their allies. Sheva appears distressed; Chris gently assures her that she doesn’t have to do this, that she can still back out. Sheva tries to get her and Chris “the hell out of here,” but Chris informs her that he can’t–that he’s got a “personal stake in this.” That “personal stake” being Jill. Chris turns away from Sheva, saying, ''“I don’t have much time. I have to find her.”'' Chirs is soon surprised, but appreciative of Sheva coming with him to find Jill.

Soon, Chris and Sheva are boating through the marshlands, where Sheva asks Chris what happened to Jill. Chris tell her of the night, three years back, when he and Jill attempted to locate Wesker. Chris follows up by saying, “I… I have to know if she’s still alive.” Sheva turns to look back at Chris, saying, “You two were close.” Chris simply answers, “We were partners.”
