Ashley.
After their nerrow survival against the big cheese. Neena and Leon finally reached the church doors, Leon tries to open the doors but descovers that they're locked. He sighed and calls Hunnigan "Hunnigan, it's Leon. The door's locked. I can't get in".
"Didn't they teach you how to pick locks at the academy?" Hunnigan asked.
Leon rolled his eyes "There's some sort of indentation like something might fit inside".
"Well, there's no use standing around. Leon, you and Neena have to find some way or something to get inside" Hunnigan said.
"Gee, no pressure or anything" Neena muttered "Well any ideas?".
"I saw another path before we got here. Could be our best option" Leon said.
"Lead the way" Neena said as they continued.
They reached a cliff, Leon looks out across a lake and sees something "What's that?".
"Something wrong?" Neena asked Leon hands her his binoculars, she takes them and spies a boat in the middle of the lake.
Inside the boat, two villagers take the body of the second cop and toss him overboard earning the word "Shit" from Leon. Then they take off. The body floats for several moments until something...HUGE comes out of the lake and swallows the cop whole.
"What the hell was that?!" Neena asked in shock.
"As much as I don't want to find out. I have a feeling that whatever we are looking for is on the other side of that lake" Leon said.
"Please tell me we don't actually need to use a boat" Neena said, hating the idea of having to go out on the lake with that monster lurking in the deep ends.
"Going around would take more time than we have. So yeah, looks like we need to go fishing" Leon said.
Neena sighed "I hate this idea, I hate it, I hate it".
Leon chuckled at her complaints as they head down to the lake. They take the boat across the lake. However, the huge monstrosity that just made the dead cop its lunch is right underneath him. It emerges from the lake in a geyser of water, nearly causing Leon and Neena to fall over. The boat's anchor falls into the water and attaches itself to the monster. The two agents is then pulled along for the ride.
"OH CRAP!" Neena shouted as they were being dragged around by the monster.
Leon picks up an harpoon from the deck "Just keep the boat going! I need a good opening!".
Neena grabbed the steering and made sure they were not pulled under the water. The large monster swims around came right towards them. Leon aimed the harpoon at the wide open mouth of the beast before throwing it down it's throat. The monster roars and swims away again, dragging them with it.
"The boat can't handle this much abuse! We need to end this quickly!" Neena shouted.
"Yeah you are going to have to give me a minute on that!" Leon shouted back as he grabbed another harpoon.
"We don't have a minute! Just make it come to us so we can kill it!" Neena shouts as she struggled to keep up with the monster.
Leon throws some harpoons in to the monster's back. It finally decided to come directly for them again. Neena got up as both she and Leon grabbed the remaining harpoons and aimed for the belly of the beast. It was getting closer and closer by the second.
"Steady... steady.." Neena said as the monster was right on top of them "NOW!"
They threw the harpoons right in to it's jaws, the monster roars and retreats down the lake. The agents thinks it's all over, but the anchor's rope has wrapped around Neena's ankle and she ends up being pulled in to the water with a scream.
"NEENA!" Leon shouts as he quickly dives in to the water after his partner. He reached Neena who was not moving and then pulls out his knife and hacks the rope off, just in time before the monster could pull them to deep.
Leon pulls Neena on to the boat, but she was still not moving. He began giving her mouth to mouth. He took several deep breaths, each being blown in to Neena's mouth until she finally coughed up some water and sat up. She coughed and spit out the rest of the water before she could breath again.
"You ok?" Leon asked with a hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah... thank for the save" Neena said, giving Leon a small smile.
Leon smiled back "Sure thing, partner. Good to go?"
"Good to go" Neena confirmed.
They then takes the boat back to the shore. After getting back on solid ground, Leon is in pain.
"Leon!?" Neena said in worry as he is coughing up blood as he stumbles. Neena grabbed him and helps him to a nearby cabin. The pain is so intense that Leon ends up passing out on the floor.
The last thing he heard was Neena shouting his name.
Leon comes to inside the cabin. It is night outside. He begins to have a seizure as a result of the thing inside his body. Black veins start to show up on his arms and move up his body and he starts to freak out, until he finally wakes up from his nightmare. He noticed he was laying on his back with his head on something soft. He blinked and looked around before he saw something that made him look away quickly.
He had just seen Neena pull her underwear on, and it looked like she noticed that he was awake "You ok?".
"What... were you doing?" Leon asked his face a little red.
"I could not find anything soft for your head so my suit was the best option. And my panties were wet so I had to get some of the water out" Neena answered.
"You... basically got naked in the middle of a hostile territory?" Leon asked, still red.
"I was thinking of using your shirt, but there were to many things to unbuckle" Neena answered simply before walking up to him "Why aren't you looking at me when I'm talking to you? Have you never seen boobs before?".
"That's not the point. I respect women and you don't seem to modest" Leon answered.
"Not the first time a man has seen my body" Neena said in a bitter tone. Leon finally looked at her as she sat on a chair.
"Neena...?" Leon asked with a hint of worry.
Neena sighs "Many believe that my pale skin and black mark around my eye are just some goth make up... but the truth is, I was born this way. But I ran with that excuse for a while until... it was discovered I was a mutant. When that happened, all my friends left me and some boys... wanted to know if it really covered my whole body...".
She did not need to finish for Leon to understand what happened. He now felt a strong urge to find those boys a stick a shotgun up their assess and pull the trigger.
"After that I ran away. Until the mutant registration act was made. They found me and offered me a choice to join a special task force. With no other options I accepted" Neena said "My powers of luck came in handy".
"Wait. Luck is your mutant power?" Leon asked.
"In a way. My mutant powers essentially give me good luck. I can subconsciously and psionically affect the probabilities and make things work in my favor and against others. Mostly, I have used my powers subconsciously, but I do have the ability to force my powers into working. I used my power during that fight against the monster, but it put a strain on me" Neena explained "When I joined X-Force, they trained me to become an expert in using firearms and explosives, a to be highly skilled mutant in the field of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat".
Leon was silent for a moment "Well... at least your life took a turn for the better right?".
"Anything is better than what I had before! I was practically raped! And lived on the streets where I almost died many times! So of course being in X-Force is better!" Neena snapped, but then took several breaths to calm down "Sorry... my past is not something I like to talk about".
Leon got up and walked up to Neena before putting a hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry for what happened to you Neena. But I can promise you this. That will never happen again. Not while I'm around".
Neena looked in to his eyes "Leon...".
Their eyes locked for a while and they even leaned in before both snapped out of their trance when they heard Hunnigan call.
"You should get dressed" Leon said as he got ready to answer.
"Agreed" Neena said as she hurried to get her suit.
When Leon answered, Hunnigan's voice was heard "Leon. it's been 6 hours since your last transmission. I was starting to get worried".
"Don't you mean lonely? Anyway, I started to feel dizzy. And then I guess I must have lost consciousness" Leon said.
"Lost consciousness? Maybe it has some connection to what the village chief was talking about...?" Hunnigan assumed.
"Can't say. But I'm all right now, thanks to Neena. I'm gonna continue my mission" Leon said before hanging up. He looked at Neena who was finished getting dressed "Ready?".
Neena nods "Let's go".
They continued on. Though Leon felt the need to keep an closer eye on Neena from now on. Remembering all that could have effected her.
After some traveling, which involved avoiding some rocks rolled at them by the people, they reach a cave where Leon find something that looks like an Insignia, he contacts Hunnigan "I've obtained an object that resembles the cult group's insignia.
"Wonderful, Leon. Head back to the church. Ashley's safety is our immediate priority" Hunnigan said.
"Copy that. We're heading back to the church now" Neena said as they hung up.
They return to the quarry area, where the two exits are closed by two of the crazy people. The huge set of double doors are opened and several some men that are dragging something...huge, or at least trying to drag it out of the door. The men lose their grip and fall over. Then massive monstrosity, comes crashing through the doors and proceeds to kill everyone of the people there. It crushed several before grabbing the last one and threw him in to one of the bystanders. The monster tries to do the same to Leon and Neena, but both doges the attempt.
The monster roars as it towers over them. But then a howl was heard. Neena and Leon looked to see the dog from before was back. It jumped down and began barking at the monster, who looks at it and roars at it.
"Good boy!" Neena said before taking out her hand guns and began firing at the beast.
The monster roars at her and ran to crush her, but she rolls out of the way and Leon shot it from the other side with his rifle. The monster roars as it shields itself with it's arms from the hail of bullets. It then goes to a nearby tree and ripped it up.
"Ah shit!" Neena cursed before ducking as the monster used the tree as a baseball bat.
It was about to bring the tree down on her, but the dog bit it in the leg, distracting it long enough for Leon to get a clear shot in it's eye. The monster roars in pain as it falls to a knee. Then some kind of parasite comes out of it's back.
"NEENA! GET THE PARASITE!" Leon shouts.
Neena hurried to climbed on to the monster's back and grabbed a hold of it's parasite, before using her gun to shoot the root several times before the parasite came of. Neena fell of as the monster roars to the sky, before falling on it's face, dead.
Neena sat on the ground, looking at the dead monster before she felt a tongue on her cheek. She looked and saw the dog looking at her. Neena smiled as she began petting the dog, who licked her face.
"Good boy. That's a good boy!" Neena baby talked as she snuggled the dog "You need a name... How about Snowflake?" The dog licked her nose "Snowflake it is then".
Leon smiled at the scene before speaking up "Neena. We need to hurry and find the kid".
Neena nods at him before looking back at Snowflake "I hope we meet again soon".
The dog barked before running in to the forest. With that, Neena and Leon finds a way back to the church and used the insignia to open the doors. When they get inside and solved some puzzles, they enter a room, as a terrified girl backs away "Don't come!".
She throws a piece of wood at Leon, who catches it "Hey, take it easy!".
"No! Get away!" She yelled in panic.
"Calm down!" Neena said as she grabbed the girl's arms "We are not here to hurt you!".
"NO! LET GO! PLEASE! LET GO!" The girl screams.
Neena pulls her in to a hug, making the girl freeze up "It's ok. Your father sent us to save you".
"My... father?" The girl asked.
"You are Ashley right?" Neena asked, when all she got was a nod she continued "Then yes, he sent us to save you".
Ashley hugged her back "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!".
"It's ok kid. Come on, we're getting you out of this hell hole" Neena said as she held Ashley's hand.
"Ok" Ashley nodded.
Neena and Leon shares a nod before they got ready to leave...
Unknown to them. It would not be nearly as easy as they might have hoped.
