Resident Evil 4: Ricky's Story

Prologue

Leon S Kennedy jumped off the boat after fighting what looked like a giant newt; he saw a small house just ahead of him a large iron gate to the right of the house. He started for the house to check for any clues to where Ashley exactly is, or anything about what has happened in this village, when a violent pain exploded in his chest, he stumbled forward and ran for the house, as soon as he was inside the dingy, cool, abandoned house, he started coughing. Coughing up blood… then he looked at his arms and notice what looked like black "blood" running through his veins, the last thing he remembered was falling face down on the floor unconscious...

Chapter 1 – The Beginning

Ricky looked at the dark lake ahead of him, the night air cold and bitter on his young face. In the dock was a small boat, enough for two people maybe, he carefully stepped aboard and started up the engine. As he made his way through the lake to the distant orange light he thought about his conversation with Ingrid Hunnigan and President Graham…

"Ricky, we lost all communications with Leon Kennedy four hours ago, we need you to go to the Spanish village where he was last seen and look for him. If you find him dead, please report to me and continue with his mission." Hunnigan said solemnly.

"And what was his mission?" Asked Ricky, dreading the fact that his close friend could possibly be dead, he and Leon met in the Raccoon City incident and quickly became friends.
"The President's daughter, Ashley, has been kidnapped by a religious cult, their motives are as of yet unknown, all we know about the cult is that they take up residence in a small Spanish village. The name of the cult is called the Los Illuminados which translates to English as the Enlightened Ones. The cult's followers are extremely hostile to outsiders, Leon has reported that they have attempted to kill him on multiple occasions, and that is why we fear the worst." Replied Hunnigan trying to maintain a calm voice, although Ricky could hear her voice break at the end of her explanation

"Hunnigan, I will try, with the best of my ability, to rescue both Leon and Ashley, I won't leave that village without them." Ricky vowed.

"You have clearance to use whatever means to save the subject/s."

Hunnigan told him.

"Please, save my daughter, anyway you can, please make sure no harm comes to my Ashley." Pleaded President Graham with a tear falling from his left eye, obviously this must be such a shock for the President to have his 20 year old, college student daughter kidnapped for what seems like no reason.

"Mr. President, I will do whatever it takes to bring her home, whatever sacrifices I must take…" Ricky assured the President.

Ricky arrived at the small dock on the other side of the large lake and got off the small boat. He saw a small house immediately in front of him when his radio called, he knew that it was Hunnigan as there is only a two way transmission between him and Hunnigan, knowing it could be important news as to Ashley's status or Leon's, he answered it.

"Ricky, I have some good news, Leon regained consciousness and has continued with his mission, your new mission is to help him rescue Ashley, he has headed to the church mentioned in your briefing, follow him there and regroup with him at the extraction point." Informed Hunnigan, with a sigh of relief.

"Will do, Ricky out" Ricky put his radio in the pocket of his blue combat pants, the same style to the combat pants he wore when he was a member of S.T.A.R.S Alpha. He headed to the small house immediately in front of him drew out his Beretta M9, S.T.A.R.S custom edition, and raised it, taking no chances with the hostiles, having known about the condition of the villagers, being violent to outsiders, wanting to kill anyone who approaches the village. He entered the house and pointed the gun around the house, when he was satisfied that there was nobody around, he dropped his aim and searched the house, he wasn't surprised to see that there was nothing of any use around the house, he had a quick glance at the bed in the far left corner of the house. It was filthy! How could anyone sleep in this bed?! Let alone live in this house?! After the sight had got to his senses, Ricky walked out of the house and headed to the Iron Gate to the left of the small one story house and rested his hand on the handle. Sighing and raising his gun, Ricky walked through the gate and what he saw wasn't to his taste…
