The Mysteries That Shine


People who have reviewed, I have a message for each of you at the bottom.

Leon and Ada carefully kept their footings on the rollercoaster tracks, thanking god it didn't go up or down. They both expected the worse, though. They could hear laughing in the distance and indistinct shouting. They didn't bother trying to listen only knowing that they wouldn't be able to make it out. Leon stopped to see a paper crumpled up on the edge of the tracks. He silently stumbled over to it and picked it up.

You got: Map of Silent Hill Amusement Park!

Before Leon could open the map, he could hear the sound of wheels and wood above him. He looked up to see a light coming at him. He stood up, drawing his gun and aiming at the wheels of the "light."

"Leon!" shouted Ada. Leon fired at the wheels, seeing sparks coming from them. Nothing was happening except they were getting closer to the two. Leon backed up toward Ada and aimed at the wood ahead of the rollercoaster.

"Get down!" shouted Leon. He fired two shots at the wood, making a huge indent. Leon put his hand on Ada's shoulder and forced her down as he himself ducked. The rollercoaster wasn't more than a few feet before it hit the indent, flying not even half an inch above their heads. The cars flew off the tracks, away from the shocked Leon and Ada. They both just sat there for a minute, shocked at what had happened. Ada was the first to look as the car crashed to the ground below. Leon looked ahead of the tracks, afraid that another might come. "Let's... let's go." Leon began to stumble along the tracks, moving slowly as Ada still collected herself. Leon turned around and looked at Ada. "Who are you?" he asked.

Ada, for some reason, knew exactly what he meant. She stood up and looked him straight in the eye. "You know who I am," she spoke. Leon squinted his eyes at her.

"Then let's go," he said, turning around and walking ahead.

"Leon!" shouted Ada.

"What! What! What is it!?" shouted Leon, holding his head. His face was turning red as his eyes were becoming bloodshot.

"Is something wrong?" she whispered loudly.

Leon closed his eyes and forced the words out: "Nothing is wrong with me..." He let go of his head, as if not hearing something anymore. Ada looked at Leon carefully as he turned around. Just then, he slammed to the tracks. "Shut up! Shut up! Leave me alone!" he shouted furiously. He cringed and shouted into the darkness. Ada quickly ran to him, but was pushed away as he got up and looked at her. Ada looked up at him with fear as she pulled out her knife. Leon held his head and basically pulled on his hair. Ada didn't speak, remembering her training for anything that approached too quickly.

Kill her... a voice said to Leon. Leon looked at Ada, very angrily.

"Leon... Are you okay?"

"Of course I'm not, you bitch! I know all about you. I know what you plan to do!" Leon raised his gun, but Ada already pulled the trigger, launching a bullet into Leon's shoulder. A splash of blood came out as he stepped back, almost falling back. He dropped his gun as it fell through the tracks into the darkness. Leon looked at the wound on his shoulder dizzily.

"L-Leon..." Ada whispered.

Leon looked at Ada, and then fell off the tracks.

"LEON!" Ada looked down and watched as Leon fell into the darkness.


Douglas lye on the sidewalk, exhausted. Heather lye near the edge of the road, baseball bat in hand. "Is there any thank you coming from you?" Douglas sat up, looking at Heather.

"I don't think YOU making me do all the work deserves a thank you!" snapped Heather, giving Douglas a nasty look.

"Saving your life does!" Douglas shot back. "Next time, remind me to let go of the bat!" Douglas lye back down again, finishing his panting session. "Sometimes, you know, you're a real pain."

"I'm sorry," said Heather. "I just... I thought I'd never have to go through this, you know? I thought I was through with it, but... I guess I was under the wrong impression." Heather suddenly stood up. "Just leave me alone!" she shouted into the fog. Douglas watched as Heather collapsed back down to the street, head drooping down.

"It never was a good end," said Douglas. Heather looked back at him, puzzled. "You know, how you ended your last journey here. It was so sudden, and if you ask me, I don't think ending it like that is very..."

"Dramatic?" asked Heather, scoffing at her own word. She turned her whole body around facing Douglas. "You know, I think you're right. My father was here, and he went through torment. Like me. I think I should make up for what he didn't do..." Heather looked up into the sky. "This snow," said Heather, suddenly getting up. "It's not cold until you realize you're in it." Douglas looked at the snow, and suddenly had a change of action as he got up and scraped the snow off of his jacket.

"We have to get out of this snow."

"And you need to treat that wound of yours," stated Heather, pointing at the blood dripping off of his jacket. He looked down as the snow underneath him was slowly turning red. "Fast..." she said. Heather suddenly froze. Douglas looked at her; her face was now stricken pale. "D-Douglas..." She pointed over Douglas's shoulder. Douglas looked up, releasing a breath of worry, and turning around slowly.

"Oh... my... god..."

There, just a few feet in front of him... was a lion. Douglas took a step back. He couldn't hear any growls though. Douglas kept backing up until he could feel emptiness at his heels; the edge.

"We're trapped!" whispered Heather, eyes straight at the lion. The lion did not move at all except for its tail and its eyes.

Suddenly, the snow began to melt where the lion was standing. There was a circle of melting snow around the lion. The circle began expanding until it reached Douglas and Heather. The snow then melted completely, and not a speck of snow was visible, not even on the roofs. Douglas and Heather were silent, looking at the Lion. It turned around, and began walking away. But it stopped and looked back. Just as if it were human, it gestured to follow with its head.

"It wants us to follow..." whispered Douglas. The lion nodded, and turned around. Douglas followed the lion slowly.

"Two things I thought I'd never see in this place: snow and a lion. What's next?"


Leon lye unconscious on the grating, facing upward toward the darkness above in a silence ever so deathly. The grating he was laying on was dented from impact. Soon, there was a noise. Slow but steady footsteps coming toward him. There... was the Valtiel. It crawled over to Leon, its head bobbling back and forth. It took his right arm and dragged him away from where he was laying. The Valtiel knew that Leon was not dead...
"So what are you doing here?" asked Olivia. They were now on the street.

"I'm under special orders," said Luis, revolving his firearm. "I am to... rescue... any civilians caught up in this dimension." Olivia suddenly stopped on the streets. Luis and Jared took five steps before noticing she had paused.

"Did you say... dimension?" asked Olivia, shuddering at the thought.

"You both may not believe this, but you are not in the world you know. You are in the very much darker reject of your world."

"But Luis," said Jared, looking up to the tall man. "Why is our world turning dark?"

Luis paused, closing his eyes. "Let's see if I can remember... Oh, yes! I see, now." Luis turned to Jared. "This dimension is at its end. It is dying out, and soon will be nothing but a black hole. But the strongest point in the dimension—Silent Hill—is trying to save itself. It is doing so by devouring 'your' world, and basically 'hoping' into it, bound to be there for a lifetime."

Jared and Olivia looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

"Why are WE here?" asked Olivia.

"Well," said Luis. "You were called here by the town. It wants you for a reason, and that reason must be pretty strong if it called you here." Jared and Olivia thought for a moment. What could have gotten them there? "But I'm not here for answering questions. I'm here to get all the survivors together."

"Why couldn't we have just gone back?" asked Olivia. "The door was right there."

Luis quickly thought for a minute. "I... want to get the civilians together... you know, so I don't leave anyone out and get confused." Jared did not see anything out of the ordinary here, but Olivia did. This man was acting suspicious. He knew a little too much about Silent Hill. "Our best chance of survival is to stay quiet and keep moving. It won't get dark until..." Luis looked at his watch. "6:34. It's 6:12 now. So we should hurry. This town isn't what it used to be.

"This town," Luis continued, "is going on "Last Resort" mode. It no longer holds stable during the darkness. That's why anyone caught in the dimension that shouldn't be here WHILE the darkness comes will most likely be non-existent afterward. But there are other doors that lead to your world, though. But you can only go through your own. The downside to that."

Luis led the two down the streets until they finally came to Jack's Inn. Luis kicked one of the doors to the room open and looked inside. Nothing dangerous. "You two stay here for now. If I don't come back in 20 minutes, head back to your door."

"But that's about when the darkness comes."

"Ok, 10 minutes then." Luis walked to the door. "If any creatures come, barricade the door. There should be an escape tunnel in the bathroom. Use it when necessary." Luis ran out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He neglected to tell them the dangers of the underground.


Ada carefully made her way down the rollercoaster tracks, saddened over her loss. He's sure to be dead,Ada thought sadly. Soon, she came to the end of the tracks. Part of it was missing, and the other part was about 10 feet away. She pulled out her grapple gun and aimed it at the other side. Suddenly, a knife was pressed to her wrist. Ada jumped as she saw the familiar knife. She saw a demon-black, muscular figure with a faint light coming out of lines on his stomach. "Who are you," asked Ada with a firm, calm voice. The figure didn't speak. Ada looked at him... saw the familiar red hat, the scar on the face, and battle-stance.

"Krauser," said Ada.

"Bingo," said the heavy voice. "So we meet again. How's Leon doing? Treating you nice? I saw that bullet you shot into him. Looked like he went a little crazy right there."

"Shut up!" shouted Ada, moving her wrist away and aiming the grapple gun to Krauser's head.

"Go ahead... do it!" commanded Krauser. Without another word, Ada squeezed the trigger, sending her grapple arrow into Krauser's head, making some flesh and bone cave in. Krauser's head shot back, but then he began to laugh. Ada backed away, but Krauser immediately grabbed her arm. With his other free hand, he pulled the arrow out of his head. "Do I have anything on my face?" he said jokingly as the cave in immediately repaired.

"Nothing but that scar of yours," said Ada with a grin.

"You're coming with me..." Krauser tightened his grip on Ada's arm before shooting into the darkness, taking Ada with him.


Leon woke up and found himself lying on the ground of a large room.

"Hello," a recorded voice on the intercom said. "It's so nice of you to join us. Please take a look around. When you feel you're ready, step through the door." Leon sat up, looking around the empty room. "We've had an accident with some of our mechanisms and had some rebuilding done. There have been some new additions to this house... and we've fixed everything, so there will be no faulty mistakes with our mechanisms... so there will be more of the fun!" Leon stood up and saw the door he was dragged through, now boarded up. He turned around and saw the door he was going to head through.

"So..." said Leon. "A haunted house..."


Ok, so before I leave this chapter for the next, I'd like to thank a few people for their support in order:

Demonwithasoul: I'm not so sure about the Leon and Ada pairing, I'm having strong feelings ever since I thought it over. Thanks for the review, and I won't get discouraged.

Angstluver: Thanks for the review, and the dream sequence and the way you thought about it was what I was aiming for.

Flame Rising: ...Glad you like it...?

Princess Garnet Til Alexandros: Thanks for the review, and don't bother with FR. Put Ghiki back in his cage. But thanks for the story complement, you know, it got my self-esteem back to the level where I could write another chapter and lead to the continuation of the story. Thanks.

Eddy: I do plan on continuing, and I try.

Kylar: My charger actually broke, but I'm sorry for the wait. Well, I hope this one didn't take too long.

Eventyraren: I'm glad you like my story, but I have a word of advice for you... PLAY THE GAMES. You won't regret it!

Cashopeia: Thanks for the blast of reviews! It got me up to 17, a number I didn't think I'd get to until like, what, the 40th chapter (yes, the 40th...). I'm glad you like my story, and please, continue to express your feelings about it, good or bad.

Alaska Kennedy: Yeah, I was aiming for the in-character thing. Seriously, I was. I seriously thought there would be other RE/SH crossovers out there, but I guess there aren't. And I wouldn't be the devil and leave you with the Luis entrance. Luis... I can't say James Bond has heard of him.

R3S1DENT3VIL: Thanks for getting me up to 23, again, another number I didn't think I'd ever get to. I'm not sure this is the best story you've read, but I'm glad you put that in, boosted my self-esteem. Thanks for the reviews!

And finally, ANGELICEER.

I must separate you from the others, because you reminded me to tell the others something.

ANGELICEER: Thanks for that review. I forgot to say this, though. The first few chapters I have written were about a year ago. In fact, this story was posted a long time ago, the beginning of it. I decided to take it off and modify it later, but I guess I forgot. I posted the story again, not realizing I didn't modify it until you made that review. Maybe when I finish this story I'll modify it and make it better. Thanks for the criticism, and thanks for reminding me to say that.

Oh, and an incoming review from Arick Payth

Arick Payth: Sorry, I'll try to get his personality up to date. Thanks for letting me know!

I hope you all liked this chapter and thanks for the reviews. Enjoy the rest of the story, and don't forget to tell me what you think. Thanks!
