The two slowly get back up to continue the fight, but Carlos drops back down and loses consciousness.
But Nikolai comes back with a blow to Carlos, followed by a blow back and so on for several more pages until they finally knock each other to the ground. He beats Nikolai further, with the Monitor failing to use his handgun (it being shot out of his hand). He then delivers a powerful punch to the side of Nikolai's head before knocking him to the ground. This is shown to be a flashback Carlos is in the present, grabbing hold of Nikolai's arm. Nikolai is shown ruthlessly killing members of a squad of six other mercenaries one by one.
It is in Raccoon City that Carlos understands the power of bio-weaponry, with the death of his comrades, all so that Umbrella can have data on the effectiveness of their weapons. Under the naivity, he recognised Umbrella as an outstanding global organization. The volume starts with a brief summary of Carlos' life before Raccoon City.
