Chapter 1-3 - We shoulda done that earlier

Leon woke up in front of the chest that had once held the cusom tmp with the zoom and silencer attachments and almost instant reload. He got up slowly, rubbing his head, and looked behind him to see Merchant, he jumped a bit, but straightened up and tapped Merchant on the shoulder, who followed as they headed back to the village. Once they cleared the tunnel, they heard something heavy and alive behind them, Merchant looked behind them and pushed Leon into running up the path, "Move faster, Stranger!" Merchant felt slightly relieved as Leon went from jogging into a full-on sprint. Reaching the door they saw it has a giant lock on it, with four different dials on it, all with numbers around each dial, seeing as how they didn't know how the combination, they turned around in time to see a very large dog-like beast with razor blades all over it's body, orange markings on it's body

They went into a battle stance as three more went to join the giant one who seemed to be their alpha, purple markings on the others. "What are these things?" Leon exclaimed as one dove onto him, trying to get a chunk off of Leon.
He took his combat knife and stabbed it in the head, the tip pokeing out of the top of it's head as it went limp and Leon pushed the dead dog-thing off him.

He immediately saw Merchant grappling with not one but two of the dogs, Leon got up to help him but fell back down as one of the dogs pounced on his back.
It was about to tear out his spine when all of a sudden a blue bolt of energy came and blew a hole in the dog thing, the remaining three dogs completely unphazed by this.
Leon felt like he was supposed to die, and lied there, slightly confused "Get the hell up or you're gonna get torn apart son!" He responded by getting up and taking out his TMP and shooting at the giant dog who turned and ran down the path, Leon went after him, but Merchant called to him "don't follow them, Starnger they'll have the element of surprise"

Leon argued with those words but agreed, knowing he'd see them again and went to help the Merchant stand, being worn out from the spiky dogs, and he looking around to where he heard the voice but saw noone and whispered to noone in particular "Thanks"

After a few moments Merchant stood up patting Leon on the head "thanks for that" Leon shook his head "no problem"

They both looked at the combination lock and went to work, what seemed like four hours, but was only ten minutes, Merchant pushed back Leon and took out a 12 gauge shotgun from his cloak and shot the lock to pieces, pushing the door open for Leon "This way, Stranger"

Merchant and Leon later saw something fester and pulse, covering the door that was welded shut, it was orange and purple and looked like thrown up oatmeal with apple bits thrown in.
Leon took aim and shot it several times, and all it did was make a foul odor that smelt awful, like a sewer inside another sewer, Leon and Merchant covered their noses, and they both raised their weapons.

Leon, with his custom TMP, and Merchant, with a Matilda, both shot as much as possible into the thing, a few minutes later, Leon threw an incendiary grenade at it and it shriveled up, burning into a cinder and fell onto the ground, a black mess of flesh.

After Mechant sighed "I have a feelin we shoulds done that earlier, Stranger" Leon replied "Yeah really..." and they both entered the door, stepping over the black husk on the way.
