Chapter 4
Recovering from the first attack, Lydia ensured her group was alright.
"Are we all okay?" She asked, observing her teammates.
Shayla nodded. "Yeah, we're good."
Jake also nodded in agreement.
"No sign of any further B.O.W.s here; I think we've secured this area at least. "Jacob added.
Ayame was looking around the castle carefully however. "I still think we're being watched...this, I have an uneasy feeling."
Also looking around, Lydia sighed. "I think you might be right, we better move carefully. This castle is fairly large, we'll need to get through to the inner courtyard."
"The guardhouse over there might be our best bet." Shayla pointed out.
So, preparing themselves they approached the guardhouse; only to find the door wouldn't open.
"Guess we find another way." She muttered.
They quickly scouted their surroundings again and found a way to reach the top of the outer wall.
Lydia shook her head. "There might be a way up there, it's a long shot, but..."
They all understood, it was their only chance. So they took it, preparing their weapons they hurried onwards to the large stairs that led to the top of the upper wall. The top of the stairs led directly to a door that led to the interior of a ruined watchtower.
Taking positions on either side of the door, Lydia gave the signal and Jake kicked the door open.
They swiftly entered the room, weapons at the ready, just in time to see another figure, holding a revolver, aimed at Ayame, unfazed by the other guns being pointed at her. Ayame froze as she saw the figure. It was a woman of twenty-six, Asian and slender with black eyes and shoulder length black hair.
She was dressed in a somewhat provocative secretary style black mini skirt, a white blouse, red and black striped tie and black hi-heels. She was smirking darkly.
"Kiko!" She spat, angered at coming face to face with her sister again.
Kiko Fujisaki, Ayame's older sister and Trevor's right hand at Umbrella, laughed darkly.
"Well, well, look who it is." She remarked, venom lacing her voice. "Has the dear BSAA become so desperate they resort to this...an illegal raid on our home?"
Ayame growled. "It's over Kiko, this is..."
Kiko shook her head. "Blah, blah, blah, give it a rest. I grow tired of the pathetic hero speeches from all of you, especially one as naive and stupid as you, little sister. You should have joined me, after all, Umbrella has already won."
Lydia stepped forwards, cocking her weapon. "Enough, you're the one who is pathetic, you've got one chance to surrender..."
"Why should I...You've already lost, nothing you do will matter now." Kiko spat, before lowering her revolver.
With another dark smirk, she then hit a switch, set into the wall, before running from the watchtower.
Before they could follow her, they heard shouts and realized they had wandered into a trap. They were surrounded by Majini now. They prepared to fight, only then did they realize there were more than the Majini they fought before. They quickly recalled their briefing on these B.O.W.s.
There were a trio of Cephalo present, Majini who had been advanced in their infection so much that their Plagas had formed into a large tentacle with razor sharp claws and mandibles, coming out of their heads. They also had to content with a horde of Adjule, canine Majini.
"Oh, this is not good." Jake remarked sarcastically. "We find our primary target, only for this to happen?"
Shayla shook her head. "Enough jokes, c'mon!"
She immediately opened fire, aiming for the Cephalo, deducing them as the largest threats. Doing his best to cover her, Jake aimed for the encroaching Adjule. Meanwhile the other three team members shot the advancing Majini. It soon became clear they were in a tight spot.
"There's no room, we can't..." Jacob yelled out; cut short.
The nearest Cephalo lashed out with its tentacle and knocked him back, against the wall.
Reacting at once, Ayame struck out with her knife, severing the tentacle from the main body which fell dead. Lydia shot the surviving tentacle and turned her attention to the remaining attackers. Jacob quickly recovered and was back on his feet, just in time to shoot the last Adjule out of the air as it leapt for him.
Despite the tight confines of the area and practically emptying their primary weapons, Jake's shotgun and the others handguns, they managed to kill the remaining B.O.W.s, the last Cephalo falling last. This left Jacob with just his knife and grenades, the others had their secondary weapons however. But he didn't mind, he was ready, and would manage somehow.
"Alright, that was...way too crazy." Lydia snarled.
Ayame nodded. "Tell me about it, Kiko, so she is here...We have to stop her, this will be our only chance to stop her."
The others agreed and so, readying themselves once more, catching their breath, they prepared to advance again, leaving the watchtower in the direction Kiko had run, the chase was on.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
