Resident Evil 4: A Fangirl's Dream Come True!
Chapter Two: Leon Kennedy! YAY!
I sat there, leaning against the wall and hugged my knees as I thought of ways to pass the time. An hour later, I heard and felt the loud rings of the church bells as they tolled. I recognized it as the signal to call off the Ganados attacking Leon. My heart leaped at the thought of him. He's here and coming for me! Then went back to the thought of the ringing chruch bells. How or who rang them to call in the Ganados? So far I had only one suspicion; it must've been Ada who rang them. Some time had passed (hours actually) before I got bored of staring at scurring bugs and sleeping. A song popped into my mind and I decided to sing it.
"Prison gates won't open up for me. On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' on, I reach for you..." I sang out softly, "While I'm terrified of these four walls, these iron bars can't hold my soul in and all I need is you. Come please, I'm callin' and oh I scream for you. Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'."
"Show me what its like to be the last one standing and teach me wrong from right. And I'll show you what I can be! Say it for me! Say it to me and I'll leave this life behind me! Say it if its worth savin' me!" I sang, bobbing my head to the song. I was about to sing the next verse when someone else did...
"Heaven's gates won't open up for me. With these broken wings I'm fallin' on, all I see is you!" someone else sang out, "These city walls ain't got no loves for me! I'm on the ledge of the eighteen story and oh I scream for you! Come please, I'm callin' and all I need from you... Hurry, I'm fallin', I'm fallin'..."
My heart screamed in joy and hope as I sang out the next verse, "Show me what its like to be the last one standing and teach me wrong from right! And I'll show you what I can be!"
"Say it for me!"
"Say it to me!"
"And I'll leave this life behind me!"
"Say it if its worth savin' me! Hurry, I'm fallin'!"
The door to my dusty cell opened and a handgun, gripped in the hand of a cute, sweet guy with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped through. It was none other than Leon Scott Kennedy, hero of RE2 and RE4! I leaped to my feet and smiled, refusing to cry in front of him. He holstered his weapon and smiled back at me as he placed one hand on my left shoulder.
"It is worth saving you." he said gently, "My name's Leon. I was sent here by the government of the United States to rescue you. Everything's gonna be fine."
(A/N: Isn't that cute? Made I can make this into sort of identifcation deal, right? If we get seperated, duh we will. We can use the song to let the other know we're not enemies.)
Hell yeah! I quickly suppressed a shriek of joy and the urge to hug-him-and-never-let-go. My god...Leon looks so damn better in real life! I've died and gone to Resident Evil fangirl and gamer heaven! I smiled a little, "Great! It's good to see you, Leon!"
He raised his brows in suprise by my lack of panic about the hostile people and the fact I'm on the otherside of the world. He looks so damn cute when he's shocked. Apparently, he had thought I was going to jump him and be the terrified, hysterical girl who can't so much as walk ten feet without flipping out. But he shrugged it off, probably thanking god that I wasn't, which I did the same. I mean, I played the game. I know what's coming and going to happen. It would be embarrassing for me to be screaming into his ear like this is the first time I've been through this.
"I was notified of your disappearance only several hours after you were taken. I then used government transportation to get here. You weren't easy to track down." Leon said, watching the door closely and I sighed inwardly. I remembered how I was in the game for the first time. Yeah, I'll be watching the door like that after having chainsaw manaics chase after you while only carrying around a cheap handgun and shotgun. I nodded in understanding.
"But why would the government go through all this to rescue a mere twenty year old college girl?" I asked in confusion, "I mean, I'm not special. It's not like I'm the President's daughter or anything."
Leon shrugged, "I don't know but I'm not gonna question it." He gave me a sort of grim smile before I realized what I said. Here I was on hostile place; that's filled to the brim with bad guys that want me to insure their success and I'm fucking questioning my rescuer. What the hell was I thinking?! I berated myself for being a little cold. "Oh, sorry. I appreciate you for coming."
The agent smiled, "That's okay." He paused in thought and dug around his pockets and fished out a piece of paper. He held it out for me to read. "Where you the one who left this letter for me behind the chruch?" I looked at it and blushed.
Hey, Leon.
Listen, after you get the Round Insigna on your way back to the chruch, be very careful.
There are guard dogs (wolves actually) called Colmillos, which is Fangs in spanish.
These furballs love nothing more than to rip out the throat of their prey (which is you), so before leaving the bridge and heading up the slope, scope out the area with your rifle. You'll see them, ugly doggies with huge maws. Use either the shotgun or an Incendiary Grenade to take them out. If you're looking to save ammo then use the grenade. For some strange reason they're weak to that grenade.
Oh, about this dais.
You need to solve it in order to take what's here. There are strange symbols on a few of the gravemarkers. They are the key to opening the dais. Here's how to solve it: Turn the dial by three increments three times in a row. Next, turn the dial by four increments three times in a row. Finally, turn the dial by three increments one more time. And tada! you've solved the puzzle and got your treasure! I know you'll do fine and I await you in the chruch.

"Yeah, that's my handwriting." I grinned sheepishly. Leon smirked as he tucked the note away and brought his handgun again. I looked at it. We really need to get to the castle and upgrade those weapons fast. "Well, thanks a lot. It helped. Really. If you hadn't left this behind then I wouldn't be here now. I'll probably be outside being a wolf's chew toy." He smiled, "What do you say that we get out of here and go home?"
I grinned, "I say, please lead the way!" I waved my hand about the room, gesturing to the barrels and shelves. "But I think it would be best to grab whatever's here first. I think I saw some the villagers stash some ammo here." Leon's brow raised mischievously. "Is that right? Well, how kind of them to leave behind gifts for us to use."
We raided the little room and I helped him cram everything into the case he carried around. I still have no idea how it could just appear out of nowhere whenever he needs it but I didn't question it. I noticed that he didn't have room for the box of handgun ammo that I had taken from the shelf. He sighed as he stared at the interior of the case that was full of weapons (oh, lovely shotgun! Hey, he got the TMP too!), ammo and heal items. And sweet sweet grenades!
"Looks like I'm gonna have to start selling off the grenades or leave them behind..." the agent murmured as he started to remove the little explosives. I thought for a second and smiled. Remember when I said I was going to help Leon like Ashley didn't do? Well, what if I carried some of the stuff for him? Say, like the grenades? He's gonna need them soon enough. He blinked in suprise as I scooped up the grenades, placed a few on my belt and the others in my side pack.
"What are you doing with those?" he asked as I dusted off my blue jeans. I looked up at him and grinned. I probably looked a little silly to him. I mean, I'm wearing a red tie dye T-shirt, blue jeans, black high top boots, a long sleeve shirt tied around my waist that hid my side pack. And now I'm wearing grenades like it was some accessory.
"I'm helping you." I replied, switching a few of the Incendiary grenades for the Flash ones. It was dark and the Ganados will unleash Las Plagas to kill him. He crossed his arms over his chest and stared at me. "By what? Being my pack mule?"
"No, by helping you carry some items so that you won't be overloaded with stuff. Besides, I need a weapon and I'm giving you some back up."
"Do you even know how to use those?"
"Yeah, it's like tossing a rock. Only things go boom! once this "rock" hits the ground." I said with grin, holding up a Hand Grenade. Leon nodded after thinking about it for a bit. I guess he realized that I can be more helpful to him by taking out some enemies that are trying to come in from behind rather than just warning him about them. He sighed.
"Okay, you win. I just hope you don't accidently make me go boom! when you toss them." he teased as his case magically disappeared on him. That...will always creep me out. He left the room and I eagerly followed, knowing that Saddler is waiting for us by the creepy little altar of his. Leon looked around the room in case that some of the villagers decided to ambush them here. Seeing no one, the agent headed over to the ledge and jumped down gracefully.
I followed and looked a little nervous. He held out his arms out to me, indicating that he'll catch me but I was still a little unsure. I'm five foot, eight inches tall and I weight a little over one hundred fifty pounds. I'm not the type that worries over my weight but I do worry that I may end up hurting Leon when he tries to catch me while injuried. Oh, well. I leaped over the ledge and blushed as Leon caught me, grunting a little. I slipped out of his arms and allowed him to go first as he held up his handgun cautiously. We walked toward the entrance of the little hall...

"I'll take the girl." someone called out suddenly, causing Leon to skid to a stop before the door. He whirled around and glared at the priest. Saddler stood at the altar, pale blue eyes almost glowing in the firelight. That's just plain creepy. I merely turned to him as the agent stood protectively in front of me. I blushed slightly. Leon would do anything to ensure my survival, so I have to return the favor by not being a burden. The agent narrowed his blue eyes at Saddler, obviously not happy to see someone trying to stop him. I sighed. Get use to it Leon. You're going to hate and glare at this asshole for a pretty long time.
"Who are you?" Leon questioned dangerously.
The priest chuckled and smiled evilly at us. "If you must know, my name is Osmond Saddler, the master of this fine... religious community." he purred darkly, his Plaga Staff plusing as its eye swiveled to look at us. That was just gross.
Leon growled a little. "Religious...right. Care to explain what the hell is wrong with the people living here?" he hissed, gripping his handgun tightly.
"Nothing is wrong. They merely have the gift that I had bestowed upon them. I just need the girl to promote our lovely religion back at her home." Saddler chuckled lightly, smiling at both of us. I felt like puking when he settled his gaze on me. "Please understand, no harm will befall the girl as long as you stay out of my way."
"The locals seem to be a better choice for your little experiment rather than an innocent girl! Why not leave her alone and allow her to go home?" Leon scoffed, "I can be pretty damn annoying if you don't consider freeing her."
"You are already annoying as you are, American agent." Saddler hissed, "Hand over the girl."
The agent snorted, "Fat chance of that happening, chuckles."
The priest narrowed his eyes and frowned, "Then we will take the girl from you by force." He smiled cruely, "But then you could just hand her over when given enough time, my friend."
Leon bristled at the statement, "What did you say?!"
I stepped forward a bit, enough to stand by Leon's side and glared at Saddler. "You gave him the plaga too, didn't you?" My rescuer's eyes widen in suprise then looked between Saddler and me in confusion. The priest chuckled as he snapped his fingers in rememberance.
"Ah, I knew I was forgetting something. You see, I bestowed the same gift to you as I did with the villagers." he answered happily. Leon looked at me still pretty damned confused.
"What?"
"He injected a plaga in you," I gently placed a hand on my neck, "like he did to me."
"While I was unconscious."
"Right."
Saddler laughed, "Oh, I truly hope you like our small, but special contributions. When the eggs hatch, you'll become my puppets. Involuntarily, you'll do as I say. I'll have total control over your mind. Don't you think this is revolutionary way to propagate one's faith?" The agent hissed angrily at the priest like an alleycat. Wow, he's pissed.
"Sounds more like an alien invasion if you ask me!" Leon spat, "Its sick and wrong!"
"I see that you've choosen to be hunted like animals. Very well, then." He turned to Leon and gave him a cruel smile. "You can grieve for your foolishness to the girl's body when you realize that you should have not tried to defy me." The agent raised his weapon and Saddler frowned. The priest snapped his fingers and several cultists burst through the chruch doors, armed with crossbows. The priest smiled, "You can kill the villagers all you like but there are far too many of them and you do not have enough ammunition to take us all out."
He walked away as more cultists arrived with their weapons and Leon growled at them. I blinked in suprise at the sheer number that were trying to get through the doors. This didn't happen in the game! Their glowing eyes fixated on us both and they grinned evilly. The agent pushed me gently behind him as we backed away as slowly as we could, making no sudden movements. I could tell why. A few of these guys are trigger happy and are more than willing to riddle us both full of flaming arrows.
"Shit." Leon hissed, keeping his eyes on the cultists. I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah...double shit..." I muttered, hiding somewhat behind him.
This was so wrong on so many levels as the cultists began to close the distance between us and leveled their weapons.
