Leon and Morgan walked through the run down warehouse, shooting villages as they went. Leon dived through a window when the door was blocked, Morgan following after. They hid next to a metal bin as objects were being thrown at them.
"Grenade?" Morgan smirked holding up the explosive. Leon smirked as he took it and pulled the pin out in unison with her.
"Do you like it when things blow up?" He asked as they tossed their grenades over the bin and waited for the explosion to go off. After shooting any survivors, Leon and Morgan ran towards the door.
"Careful, there are bear traps set up." Morgan announced walking around the evil clawed tools. Leon rolled his eyes.
"Like you really need to be telling me that." He replied.
"Hey! Just because I have an act for being near these things doesn't mean you get to pick on me." She defended. She shot some of the traps and walked over to a an old fireplace. "Lookie what I found." She smiled taking the shotgun shells. She moved to the next one, which had something burning, and took a spinel. She picked up some gold and walked over to a door.
"There's nothing promising in here." She frowned looking around. Leon walked over to a window of wooden boards and tested to see how strong one was.
"Not in plain sight at least." He said smashing the boards down. Morgan raised a brow but then shrugged.
"Oh, someone knows how to treasure hunt." She said crossing her arms as he jumped over. He grabbed a mask that was hanging on the wall and decided they would sell it to the merchant if they met up with him again. He jumped back and they headed to a door in the back of the room. It lead to an underground tunnel. Morgan grabbed a grenade and rolled it down the hall and killed two villagers. Leon gave her a look.
"What? I'm saving bullets." She said holding her arms up in defense. He rolled his eyes and pulled out his shotgun.
" Come one Kiddo." He ordered leading the way. They took a right once at the end of their tunnel and walked into a room with a ladder that led down and one on the wall that led up. The ladder that led below had water at the bottom.
"You check down there and I'll check up here." Morgan smiled going over to the ladder that was on the wall. Leon sighed and jumped down to see if anything useful was down below. Nothing. He began climbing back up to join Morgan.
"And what do we have here?" Morgan smirked walking over to an old well were, like previously, there had been a necklace hanging from it. She shot it down with her handgun and picket it up. It was a brass pocket watch. Then she ran into a house, broke open some boxes and found some ammo. Morgan skipped out and stopped suddenly before she almost fell into a group of bear traps. "Evil traps, well I have news for you! You won't be takin a bite outta me today!" And she shot them all so they went off and skipped over them satisfied with herself. Morgan heard clapping and spun around to see Leon wearing an amused look on his face.
"Win your battle?" He asked gesturing towards the traps. She nodded happily.
"Yes sir! I showed them who's boss." Morgan replied with a 'hmph'. He shook his head with a smirk. "Come on there's a house up ahead." She said running forward. Leon followed after her and walked up the stairs to see Morgan standing in front of a door with a blue crystal ball on it. Her tongue was sticking out slightly as her brows pulled together. She was thinking.
"Let's try this way." She mumbled rolling it forward. The symbol on the ball changed. "Maybe…this way?" She mumbled again rolling it to the left. The sign changed again. This time there was a click and the wall slid to the side to reveal a room. Leon patted her back.
"Nice work." He praised stepping in. There was a key on a desk.
"Morgan look." Leon said as he held some papers.
"What? More information on us?" She asked. He nodded and skimmed over its contents.
"It mentions something about a Lord Saddler and how we were held captive. There's a comment on Luis might be up to something and how the third party may be taking advantage of this." Leon explained setting the files back on the bed. Morgan made a thoughtful expression.
"Do you think this Lord Saddler is behind everything? Like what's happened to the villagers, the kidnappings, and pretty much anything else we have or will face?" She asked. Leon nodded.
"I believe so." He nodded. They searched the room and then approached a door. Leon held a finger to his lips as he heard voices, slipping to the side with Morgan close behind. She tried to close the door as quietly as possible but it made a slight squeak. They took a few steps forward.
"H—" Morgan's eyes went wide as she turned around and felt a hand grasp her throat. She knew that force. It was the tall man with the beard. Leon turned and gasped as the man raised Morgan even higher. She kicked furiously and struggled to pry his hand from her throat. Leon acted quickly and went to attack but was also grabbed by the neck. As he raised Leon, the man stared between them both before tossing them to the ground. Morgan and Leon began coughing and held their throats as they struggled to their feet.
"You carry the same blood as us, it seems. Never the less, you're both outsiders. Just remember, If you become unpleasant to our eyes, you will face severe consequences." He chuckled slightly before walking out the door they had just entered.
"What," Leon coughed, "Same blood?" He shook his head and looked at Morgan who was still coughing. She had been choked the longest so it was expected she was still recovering.
"What's with that…man…and choking people?" She asked after a few more minutes. She held her throat in pain, expecting bruising to take place. Leon rubbed his slightly and helped her stand upright. Leon's communicator went off and he pulled it out to talk to Hunnigan.
"Leon, Morgan, I've been able to get some new information that might help you." She announced.
"Fill me in." He replied.
"Apparently, there's a religious cult group involved. They're called the Los Illuminados." She said.
"Los Illuminados? Tch, That's a mouthful." Leon blinked. Morgan whispered it to herself a few times, testing to see if she could say it properly. He smiled lightly at that. "We had an unexpected run in with the big cheese of the village." He added.
"You're both ok though, right?" Hunnigan asked.
"Yea…but he could have killed us but let us live…" Morgan announced.
"He mentioned something about carrying the same blood as them…whatever that means." Leon informed.
"What? Carry the same blood? Hmm…interesting…" Hunnigan thought to herself.
"Anyway, there are more important things than solving riddles right now." Leon sighed.
"You're right. Hurry and find that church you two. Out." And they both ended the connection. Morgan decided she didn't want to be the one following anymore, seeing as how that led to her being choked, and started walking towards a door. Leon was more cautious now and wanted to lead so he opened the door they had entered through with a kick, handgun raised. An incredibly strong force sent him flying to the side, handgun skidding across the floor. His head was spinning from the attack.
"Leon move!" He heard Morgan yell. It was too late, a large weight pressed against his chest as the big cheese literally stepped on him. Gunshots were heard and Morgan saw a strip of red in the window before the giant ran towards it.
"Look out!" She yelled, watching as the female was pulled up and the giant went flying down. She sighed and then ran towards Leon.
"You ok?" She asked softly helping him stand. He shook his head to stop the spinning and stumbled to his handgun.
"I thought he said he would leave us alone unless we did anything that was wrong in their eyes?" Leon asked.
"We have killed a decent amount of villagers…" Morgan said looking towards the window. He looked towards it too.
"Did you see who it was?" He asked.
"Sort of. I think it was a women, wearing red. I didn't see anything else though. Sorry." She frowned. Leon placed his hand on her head.
"It's fine. She just looked familiar. Let's keep moving." He smiled slightly. Morgan nodded and they headed back through the door that lead to the hallway. They took a flight of stairs down checked the rooms. Morgan's first room was the one next to the stairs. She screamed at the unexpected villager and blasted his head up. His body still moved and she slammed the door and waited a minute. Leon kicked the door open with his gun raised.
"You ok?" He asked in alarm. Morgan sighed and leaned against the wall. Her heart was racing. Was everything going to freak her out now?
"Yea…I'm ok." She whispered forcing a smile. Leon stared doubtfully at her then opened the door for them both. They found dinning room like area and checked the cabinets for anything useful. Morgan found the house creepy and was expecting to run in with their 7ft tall friend every time she turned around. It was making her paranoid and very jumpy. They exited through the kitchen door and brought out their shotguns.
"I wish they took breaks from trying to kills us." Morgan muttered aiming and blowing a head off. She reloaded and shot another villager's head off.
"I know, this is getting old." Leon agreed as he did the same. They both saw a chainsaw man running towards him and both aimed for him. "Now." Leon whispered and they both shot him down.
"You know, we're getting better at this though. Hitting the weak spots and working together?" Morgan chimed running down the path. A women walked out of a house and Morgan kicked her down before blowing her head off. She grabbed what was in the house and let Leon take care of two villagers with a grenade.
"We have to unbar the door, here." Leon said as they approached a metal door. He lifted the wooden plank that held the door shut up and tossed it to the side.
"Hey! We're back in the village!" Morgan blinked as they stepped through. She looked down the pathway and frowned. "And this is where we fought earlier after running from the hay cart." She added. She was right, and that meant this was near the center of the village.
"Uh oh, looks like bingo is finally over." Leon said as 6 villagers spotted them and raised their weapons.
"Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame." Morgan said sticking her tongue out. She grabbed a grenade and tossed it at the group of villagers. "This is what you get for not inviting me." She announced as it blew up and sent the villagers scattering everywhere.
"You can visit a nursing home and play bingo when we're done on the mission, don't take your anger out on them." Leon chuckled as she pulled up her handgun and began running towards the small church. He followed a step behind her.
"If I don't kill them though they try to kill us, so would you rather have me killing them or not?" Morgan asked stopping at the door. Leon rolled his eyes.
"I get it alright? Carry on then with your ranting." He smirked. She grinned and then looked at the door.
"It's locked. Look, there's a symbol on the door…" Leon mumbled recognizing the insignia sign. "Looks exactly like the key we found." He said pulling out the key. Leon unlocked the door and took a deep breath. Morgan did too.
"Let's do this." She then smiled and they both pushed the door open.
"Wow, it's really not really a church is it? I guess I had it wrong the whole time." She blinked as they stepped inside. The floor and walls were worn from the years and everything was covered in a layer of dust. It looked nothing like a church, but then again Morgan didn't know how a small village's church should have looked. This was the tallest building around so what was she supposed to have thought?
"It's fine, when I was going through some of the files I discovered the church has a tunnel that connects it from here." Leon shrugged walking through another door. There was an oil lamp hanging from the ceiling and Morgan aimed her handgun at it. She shot it and it fell, exploding into a mass of flames. Both agents pressed back against the wall farthest from it and waited for the flames to die down. They walked over and picked up the Spinal that fell with it and then spotted a trap door.
"Shall we?" Morgan asked as she pulled the door open. She glanced down and made a face. "I don't see a ladder." She muttered to herself.
"It's not that bad of a landing is it?" Leon asked looking down also. He blinked and then rolled his eyes before jumping down. "It amazes me how you can take care of the villagers and yet have trouble with a drop like this." He chuckled lightly. She glared.
"Excuse me! It's not like I wanted to fall out of a tree when I was younger, and it's not like I want to remember how horrible the pain felt when I landed and broke my leg. So sorry for carrying that little fear you so kindly laugh at me for." She glared while shoving her handgun in her leg holster. Leon was taken back at her attitude. She hasn't ever been angry at him for anything so far, he didn't want to be on her bad side.
"I'm sorry, really. I didn't know how you truly felt over heights. I'm sorry, please forgive me?" Leon gave Morgan a smile. Her dark blue eyes searched his and she concluded he was deeply sorry for laughing. She sighed and sat, bringing her legs over the opening.
"Alright, I forgive you." She smiled jumping down into his arms. He smiled and hugged her tightly, unexpected by the young brunet. "What was that for?" She asked.
"Just glad you aren't mad at me." He shrugged. She blushed and then giggled.
"Well then, glad we're both happy now." She smiled. She glanced down the dimly lit tunnel and shuddered. "There better be a light at the end of this tunnel." She sighed referring to the expression. Leon shook his head as he tried to hide his smirk.
"You aren't afraid of dark places are you?" He asked running forward.
"Not yet." Morgan replied.
