Resident Evil: Burning Ambition
Leon Scott Kennedy collapsed onto his sofa in exhaustion, it had been another grueling day of training. Leon was an agent but he had resigned his position of protecting Ashley Graham. He had been blunt and told his superiors the truth. She was getting romantically attached to him because of the horrors in Spain. Leon was praised for his actions and was not demoted like Leon had hoped. Instead Leon was promoted into a new position. The Black Hawk Agents or BHA. This branch was a highly classified and secret group. Only the most high ranked officials knew of its existence, not even the military knew. Leon was blind sided once he learned how this branch functioned.
~**~Flashback~**~
"Welcome to the Black Hawk Agency Mr. Kennedy," his new boss, Adam greeted.
"Sir, I have never heard of this branch before," Leon replied.
"Of course not, almost no one knows about it, except for Umbrella," Adam stated.
"How does Umbrella know about it?" Leon asked.
"Because that is why this branch exists, to secretly fight Umbrella," Adam replied.
~~**End Flashback~**~
Leon opened up the file he was given, all agents worked solo but Leon was used to that after Spain. His next mission was a small town that was very close to the Arklay Mountains. That was what worried him, the mission was supposed to be easy. Go in, investigate to make sure nothing is amiss and then report back, but Leon thought his mission to Spain was supposed to be a wild goose chase and look how that ended up.
"God, if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any," Leon said to himself.
Since Leon was a Black Hawk agent he had no way of a social life except through work. But even though some of the agents tried to hook him up with some of the women, Leon refused. There was only one woman Leon wanted, but sadly it had been two years since Spain. He remembered still with bitterness how he fought bravely for his life against the psychopath known as Osmund Saddler and managed to kill him. (AN: I am changing the end of RE4 slightly). Leon was badly wounded as he picked up the sample dropped by Saddler barely managing to hold himself up. He had several large slash wounds and would not have been surprised if he had some broken bones judging by the way Saddler had tossed him into things. Then she came and while sticking a gun to his head, took the sample from him and escaped in the chopper.
"Damn it Kennedy, stop thinking about her," Leon scolded himself as he threw down the file in frustration.
Despite what she did Leon was still in love with her, but he knew that the chances of them as a couple were impossible. Plus Leon was still bitter at their last meeting, but who could blame him. He saved her life, almost died fighting that monster and she took advantage of his weakened state by stealing the sample and then left him there to die. Leon was thankful he knew some emergency first aid and managed to treat his wounds temporarily, then with all of the energy and strength he had, he led Ashley off the island before it blew up. Leon looked at his watch, he had to leave for his mission soon. He sighed and decided to leave early so he locked his apartment and headed to his car only to see a black Hummer pull up next to him.
"Agent Kennedy, we are taking you to a chopper where you will then proceed to your objective the agent explained.
Leon only nodded and let them take him to the chopper and soon found himself getting out and watching the chopper take off, leaving him alone. Leon studied his surroundings, he was heavily equipped as he refused to go without it. Leon had several guns and provisions in case his mission went wrong, which for Leon happened all the time. Leon checked his mobile radar and headed in the direction of the small town with a population of only a little more than three thousand.
Albert Wesker smiled cruelly as he received the news of Leon's mission from one of his spies.
"Interesting, this has presented a rare opportunity, Leon has gone to investigate my little town has he?" Wesker asked.
"Yes sir," the spy confirmed.
"Very well, after his display in Spain it is vital that we concentrate on killing him. He is the best agent they have and to lose him would deal a severe blow to the BHA, plus...this has given me an idea, bring me Ada Wong I have a new mission for her," Wesker ordered.
"Yes sir," the spy replied as he left.
"Leon Scott Kennedy, you may have survived Spain but I will see to it that this is your last mission!" Wesker laughed cruelly.
Leon entered the small town and instantly noticed something was wrong. There were no people bustling about, Leon was prepared for the minimal activity but this...the whole place was silent. Leon began to scan his surroundings and his senses were on high alert. Leon didn't know it, but he was walking into the town from which no one returned alive. Leon decided to give the benefit of the doubt and he strode up to the nearest house and knocked on the door. No answer, he tried again but still no answer. He turned the door handle and was shocked to see it was unlocked, now he was really concerned as he drew his pistol and cautiously entered the house. The house was not very big and Leon noticed the thick scent of an all to familiar smell...blood. Leon heard a scratching sound coming from the door that he guessed led to the kitchen.
"Hello?" Leon called out as he trained his Desert Eagle on the door.
The scratching stopped so Leon moved towards the door but as he got close the door was unhinged and slammed into Leon, throwing him across the room. Leon quickly recovered and his eyes fell on a woman, she was holding a knife in her right hand.
"Calm down, I am not here to hurt you," Leon said.
But Leon quickly realized this woman was not human for she snarled much like a Ganado would and when her mouth opened, a sickly yellow liquid fell from her mouth. Leon raised his gun but leapt to the side as the woman hurled the knife at him. Leon made to shoot her but was shocked, the woman moved incredibly fast as she performed a wall run on one of the walls. Leon snapped out of his shock almost as soon as it happened and planted a bullet in the woman's head. She crashed to the floor, seemingly dead. But then her back split open sickeningly and what emerged seemed to be a cross between a tarantula and a praying mantis. The head of a tarantula, two front pincers like a mantis, a large thin mantis body and eight legs.
"What the fuck?" Leon asked.
"Impressive isn't she?" a voice behind the monster asked.
"Who are you?!" Leon demanded.
"I am Doctor Mobius, I created her," Mobius replied.
"What the fuck is going on here?!" Leon asked.
"Interesting, well as you may have guessed, the people of this town are dead, but they still get around quite well hahahahahahahaha!" Mobius laughed psychotically.
"You have experimented on all of them to change into this?!" Leon demanded indicating the monster.
"Unfortunately, no, this is a one time experiment that Wesker approved," Mobius replied.
"So you do work for Umbrella," Leon spat.
"Yes, I think it is only fair to warn you that the undead creatures in this town are very different from the ones you may be used to," Mobius warned.
"How so?" Leon asked.
"They have been injected with the blood of two of the unstable Umbrella experiments, Nemesis and Project Alice," Mobius replied.
"Alice...I have heard of her...but what did the blood do to them?" Leon asked.
"Why don't you find out for yourself? I am not going to let Tarantis kill you this time, but if you happen to come across us again you won't be so lucky," Mobius replied as he turned to leave.
"Why are you doing this?!" Leon demanded.
"Why? Personally I do it for the fun but again Wesker has us constantly experimenting," Mobius replied.
"For fun? You sick bastard!" Leon yelled as Mobius and the creature he called Tarantis disappeared.
Leon moved to pursue them when he heard a commotion outside. Leon rushed outside and a large explosion made him duck down while scanning the surroundings. He easily pinpointed it though as an avalanche had come down effectively cutting off the route he came in by. Leon may have been able to scale over it but it would take a very long time and if he was under attack it would be impossible.
"Of course that would happen," Leon said bitterly.
Leon then noticed dark clouds overhead and felt the first drops of a horrendous rain.
"Jesus, I really can't catch a break can I?" Leon asked aloud as he headed back into the house.
"Sir, why did you order Mobius not to kill the agent?" Derek, Wesker's lapdog asked.
"Because, until Ada gets here, Mobius is the only man we have in there and we cannot risk him dying yet," Wesker replied.
"You think a mere government agent could slay the powerful Tarantis," Derek asked.
"I saw some of the things he did in Spain, trust me Leon may be able to kill it, but who knows right?" Ada asked entering the room.
Ada Wong, probably the most controversial person, awaited his orders. What he remained ignorant of thankfully, was that Ada was quietly working against Wesker, not outright but small things to help hinder Wesker and Umbrella. Such as not killing Leon in Spain. But her next orders were going to change her life completely.
"Yes Ada, we have received word that the agent, is snooping about one of our secret bio facilities
"How did he find out?" Ada asked.
"He has been recruited by the BHA, Ada he is one of the best agents I have seen and after Spain he is a very real threat to us, your mission is to go in there and eliminate him once and for all," Wesker ordered.
"Yes sir, however keep in mind it may take some time. For like you said, Leon is one of the best," Ada warned.
"I am aware, that is why I am sending you in as you are unmatched, do not fail me Ada," Wesker warned.
"Yes sir," Ada replied before she left for her mission.
Ada was deep in thought as the chopper flew her to her destination, she was able to admit that she cared about Leon perhaps even love him. But she felt so horrible at how she treated him, the man she knew now that she loved. She hoped that when she met him, that he didn't try to kill her on the spot, but she couldn't blame him if he did. After all she remembered also that painful decision in Spain. How she stole the sample from the severely wounded agent and left him to die without helping him at all. Hell, he had not only fought to stay alive against Saddler, but he had also fought for her, since she had been captured by the monster, something no one had ever done before. Yet she thanked him by leaving him to die and it broke her heart. She snapped out of her thoughts as the chopper landed. Ada grabbed her equipment and exited the chopper, actually nervous of meeting the ash blonde agent. She noted the dark clouds gathering, it was going to rain making her task all the more depressing.
Leon carefully searched the house thoroughly until he was completely sure it was safe before he barricaded the doors and windows as best he could and sat down to come up with a plan. But his thoughts were interrupted by his comm link going off.
"Leon here," Leon answered.
"Leon it's Adam, give me an update," Adam replied.
"Well, I am sitting in a town of three thousand undead, and I had a run in with an Umbrella scientist by the name of Mobius, it seems there is a bio facility here," Leon explained.
"Well I'll be damned, okay hang in there, we cannot risk anymore agents to send to you I am afraid you are on your own," Adam replied.
"Fine, Leon out," Leon said.
Leon wasn't surprised, plus he didn't have to worry about another's safety this way so Leon had no complaints. Leon was startled as something heavy slammed against the door. Leon had his gun out immediately as the sound was heard again except this time the door was bending. A couple more blows like that and the door would give. Whatever it was, it was strong, so Leon holstered his pistol and cocked his shotgun as the door bent a little more.
"This is not going to end well," Leon said as the door finally busted.
Undead streamed in but they surprised Leon with their speed, they were definitely a step up from the normal undead. Leon blasted the first one away sending him crashing into the others. Leon fired rapidly as the undead advanced aggressively. Leon knew he couldn't stay in the house so he backed away through the kitchen out the back door all the while firing at the hoard. Leon turned and vaulted over the small fence towards the main street but the undead followed quickly.
"Damn, persistent little fuckers," Leon cursed.
Unknown to Leon he was being watched from a distance by Ada. She admired his calm attitude even in the face of such impossible odds. Even before she left Wesker's office, she knew she was not going to kill Leon, but even if she were, there was no guarantee she would be able to. She still remembered their little skirmish in Salazar's castle and he had won. But now she needed to hit back at Umbrella. This was the best way, to covertly aid Leon and eradicate the bio facility. She ran the risk of being killed by her soon to be former employer but she didn't care at this point as she watched Leon deliver a powerful kick to an undead's head. Leon blasted the head off yet another undead but they seemed to be endless.
"Shit, deja vu," Leon cursed.
Leon was shocked as he heard a cry that sounded like a young boy. Leon turned to the source and cursed again, it was a young boy running from a group of undead.
"A survivor, damn it all why me?" Leon asked as he sprinted to rescue the boy.
As Leon neared, he realized the boy wasn't all that young, eighteen or so. Leon blasted the nearest one to hell and it was then the boy noticed him.
"Come on I know a place we can hide!" the boy yelled.
At this point, Leon was not going to argue so he followed the boy as the undead pursued them. They came to a large building, probably a hotel. Leon stopped the boy before they went inside.
"This is the place? It isn't a very good idea," Leon warned.
"There is a bomb shelter below the surface, it is well fortified, I can explain later just come on!" the boy urged.
Leon reluctantly followed the boy inside and slammed the doors shut and started to barricade them. He turned to see the boy hit a button under the check in desk and the wall sunk in and rose up revealing a stairway.
"Wow, impressive," Leon said as both headed down the stairs with the wall closing behind them.
Once they got settled, Leon noticed all of the things in the large room it seemed the boy lived down here.
"Okay, so what is going on?" Leon asked as the two sat down.
"My name is Mike, I have been living down here for some time now," Mike replied.
"How long has this been going on?" Leon asked.
"I don't know, I only go up when I need food and supplies, that was what I was doing. But damn it I was discovered before I could make it to the small gun shop," Mike cursed.
"Gun shop? You know how to handle a gun?" Leon asked.
"Yeah, my father taught me before he was killed, my mother knew guns to but she also died," Mike replied sadly.
Leon took a moment to study the boy. He was a little shorter than Leon with his head coming to Leon's chin, he had brown hair that was short and cut almost military style. He had very dark brown eyes and was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a black muscle shirt.
"So who are you anyway?" Mike asked.
"Oh sorry my name is Leon," Leon replied.
"Are you with the government?" Mike asked.
"Yeah, investigating this place," Leon explained.
"Well there is a scientist hiding out somewhere in the town..." Mike started.
"Doctor Mobius," Leon cut in.
"You already saw him?" Mike asked.
"Briefly, but then the undead came, so is that the only way out?" Leon asked indicating the door they came through.
"No, I usually go out through this small sewage hatch," Mike replied pointing to a smaller opening in the wall.
Leon examined the hatch and listened as Mike explained how he made a makeshift gate in front of it and how to open it.
"Impressive, you must have been living like this for a long time," Leon said.
"Yeah, I have been trying to secure weapons so I can hit back at them, I mean as long as my food and supplies hold out I could find a way to escape," Mike replied.
"Okay, here," Leon said handing Mike his nine millimeter.
"Jeez, how many guns do you have?" Mike asked.
"Oh just a shotgun, two desert eagles, a TMP, two nine millimeters, one of which you are holding, and some various herbs and a couple grenades," Leon replied.
"Wow," Mike gasped.
"Now, we need to get to that gun shop and secure some more guns and ammo," Leon replied.
"Right I was planning on strapping as much to my body as I could and putting the rest in this bag to carry," Mike said.
"No, leave the bag it will slow us down," Leon ordered.
"Um, okay," Mike replied.
"Alright then, ready?" Leon asked.
Mike nodded and the two started to crawl out of the small sewage passage for their first task.
