**Ch.4: Fallen Into Traps, Leon's Lone Rescue**

/ Leon's POV /

As Sora, Ashley and I walked through the door we saw two giant statues of Grecian women hanging upside down on the ceiling, I made sure both girls were with me as we kept moving forward. Then after Sora and I emptied out the vases near the merchant we began to go down this hall and all of a sudden Ashley started coughing and I saw blood on her hands.

"You all right?" I asked Ashley, putting my hand on her shoulder only to get pushed away.

"I'm fine! Leave me alone!" Ashley retorted, pushing me away and runs off.

"Ashley wait!" I exclaimed, getting ready to go after her but a row of steel spikes separated us.

Once the first row of spikes came up Ashley started backing away slowly, then a second row came up causing the President's daughter to run further back avoiding three more rows of spikes and had her back against the wall.

"Ashley!" I exclaimed, not liking being separated by the five row of steel spikes.

Then as Ashley was against the wall three steel straps secured her to the wall.

"Oh my god ! What's going on?!" the daughter of the President raised her voice in fearful surprise as the wall she was secured to turned around until she was out of sight.

"Don't worry Ashley we're coming for ya!" I yelled, seeing the rows of spikes go down but as I checked the door out of here it was locked tight.

"Great now we have to find Ms. Get-kidnapped-a lot again won't this be wonderful..." Sora sarcastically said, walking back until she somehow tripped over her own feet. "Woah, woah, woah..."

From what I saw Sora grabbed a small marble version of Saddler which ended up opening a trapdoor under Sora but also opened up the door in the Observation Hall.

'_How can anyone in the place trip over anything?_' I was thinking, as I looked down the dark hole and then heard the radio go off. "Hunnigan, what happened? The transmission got cut off."

I heard an insane laughter on the other line, as far as I knew Hunnigan didn't laugh or had one that insane, so then I deduced that it was Salazar on the other line and my deduction was correct when the video feed came up showing Salazar's face.

"Salazar! How'd you...?

"We've jacked the line. We didn't want you telling everyone any unnecessary information." Salazar informed me.

"Where's Ashley and Sora?!" I demanded.

"Aw... So the girl's fell into our wonderful traps. We'll make sure we find them. Don't you worry about them. Oh, yes, I let out our miserable insects out for some exercise down in the sewers." Salazar said to me.

"Thanks. That should keep me company. Cuz boredom kills me."

"I look forward to our next encounter... In another life."

Right as Salazar ended the transmission I took one last look down the hole Sora fell down then headed to the door in the Observation Hall, opened it, and went inside. As I walked inside I saw two barrels near the door I used my knife to open them but all I found was a box of handgun ammo and a velvet blue, once I was done opening the barrels I walked around the corner until I saw a ladder leading to the sewer. I jumped down the ladder with ease and walked down the dark murky tunnel looking out for any insects that Salazar mentioned. I had my gun in hand and aimed it all over the place, but as I passed a sewer mesh gate I heard what sounded like a gate being pushed down and a pattering sound followed along with it. I quickly turned behind me but I saw nothing so I turned around and started running until I got a bad feeling up ahead.

Just as a precaution I raised my gun, turned on the laser pointer and scanned the tunnel until I saw that the pointer was closer than is was supposed to be. I fired my gun at that particular spot, once I hit whatever was there I then heard a loud screech and a human sized mutated bug appeared, so I fired my gun at it a few more times until it died. I slowly walked up to it to examine it, as I looked at the bug it some-what reminded me of the Raccoon City incident but the bug just reminded me of the mutated spiders so after I noticed the shotgun ammo it carried I took it and moved forward. As I moved forward I looked down over a railing to see a ladder and door leading out of this part of the sewer but as I moved towards the ladder I heard water pattering, them out of the blue a mutated bug grabbed me and as I struggled to get it off of me it had spit up a gastric liquid which burnt like hell. After I got it off me I shot it over five times with my handgun to be sure it was dead, once I made sure it was dead I heard another screech behind me but by the time I realized there was a second bug behind me it hit me to where I fell down in the pit.

As I got up off my back I looked up to find nothing there so I turned on my pointer again and looked all over the place for it, by the time I found it the bug had lunged to strike me but I managed to shoot it until it died. Once dead I noticed it had a blue triangular jewel so I picked it up along with a velvet blue I had found and then climbed up the ladder and walked through a door into a room with four cells and a hole in the ceiling. When I walked out in the open I saw another one of the insects drop to the ground, as quickly as I could I pulled out my shotgun and fired twice at it, once it was dead a cell door was kicked out and the green-eyed bug came after me. Luckily I knew where it was and shot at it, after I shot it I reloaded my gun and ran forward to see the sewer pit filled with water.

'_There has to be some sort of device to drain this water._' I was thinking as I turned around and started walking around a small hallway and once I turned the corner yet another mutant bug was waiting there.

Seeing the bug I pulled out an incendiary grenade, took out the pin and gently tossed it in the bug's direction, then right when the grenade hit the ground it went off causing the bug to burn to death. As soon as I was sure that the insect was no more I moved ahead and when I found a door I opened it and found a wheel connected to a water pipe and when I looked to my right I saw two wooden boxes and a treasure chest. I slashed open the two boxes to see a box of shotgun ammo and a green herb, then I opened the treasure chest to find what looked like a Butterfly Lamp with three triangular holes in it. When I finished collecting the items I walked to the wheel and began turning it, as I turned it I looked out the window to see the water going down, once all the water was drained I ran out of the room only to get ambushed by two of those mutant insects. As I was getting ambushed I had one of the bugs on me spitting up liquid while the other one was scratching the hell out of me.

By the time I got them off of me I was seriously injured, so before they got back up to attack I used two first aid sprays and right as I used the sprays the bugs got up and lunged at me. Luckily I managed to wield my shotgun in time to kill both of the insects, when I killed then I took what they had on them and as I was about to go to the sewer pit there was a crash alerting me that there was yet another insect coming my way. All it took was four shotgun shells in all to kill the bug then once dead I walked forward only to get ambushed by a white bug, same as the last one I shot it four times killing it, then once that insect was killed I jumped down in the pit, kicked the door down and ran up the stairs hearing the sound of metal scraping stone. When I walked through the door and around the corner I saw four bladed pendulums swinging across the path, so I slowly walked forward and when I got to the first pendulum I walked passed it with ease along with the second one which required perfect timing and jumping across. When I got across I noticed that there were two pendulums side by side swinging in opposite directions, I waited for about three to four swings and ran across without any problems.

As I was across I ran through the door, climbed up the ladder and walked through another door to hear the monks chanting "Morrir es vivir" over and over again while bowing to an altar with the Los Illuminados insignia on it.

'_I got to get rid of them before they see me._' I thought, quietly pulling out a regular grenade, '_This grenade should take them out...I hope._'

When I got to a good angle, I pulled out the pin and threw it in the middle of their circle, by the time the monk in red said something the grenade blew up killing all the black robed monks and only injuring the red one. Once the grenade exploded I jumped down to the floor just in time to see the red monk trying to run so I got out my handgun and shot off the monk's leg. I grimaced when the monk's leg came off because it made me think back to when I was in Raccoon City and had shot a zombie's leg off in order to escape. Seeing the monk still trying to get away I walked to the monk and killed him in no time at all, right as he dissolved I took a pendent he had and gathered all the spinels the black robed monks had on them. Then after I collected all the items the monks had I climbed back up the ladder, swung across the chandelier and saw that there were bars blocking me from the door out of here and a merchant. So I saw another chandelier, jumped on it and swung on it, then jumped to the other side, as I landed I saw a lever to my right and activated it. Once activated all the bars raised up and opened te entrance to the other door and the merchant, then as the bars were raised I jumped down, ran up the stairs and walked through the door.

/ Sora's POV /

When I finally regained consciousness I seen that I was in a cell of some kind, the time I regained consciousness was also when I felt a searing pain in my back from falling down that trap door.

"Oww... my back!" I groaned, slowly sitting up and placed my hand on my lower back. "Thank goodness I had nothing on my back..." I paused, felling the rest of my back only to find nothing. "Where the hell are my guns!" I screamed in pure rage, not liking that I had none of my guns on my person.

/ Third Person's POV /

Right when Sora screamed, Salazar was walking down the corridor to the cell with his two bodyguards and about four monks and all of a sudden the four monks fell to the ground dead with blood pouring out from their backs.

"What?!" Salazar exclaimed in shock, then started looking all around him. "Verdugo, go search the area!" Salazar commanded, seeing his guard in red leave to search the area.

After Verdugo left Salazar continued to make his way to the cell Sora's imprisoned in but was eying every corner to be sure that no one was around to attack. Then Salazar noticed Verdugo return to him saying no one is around so with that the three got to the cell.

/ Sora's POV /

As I was laying down boredly in my cell I heard loud thuds and what sounded like the kid or midget Leon, Ashley and I encountered in the first room when we entered the castle. Then I heard footsteps stop at my cell I looked at the door to see Salazar and his two bodyguards.

"My, my, isn't this a pleasant surprise, captured once again Ashley." Salazar said, confusing me for Ashley since there was barely any light in the cell or the outside of the cell.

"Umm... I thing you got the wrong girl, kid." I spoke, sitting up looking straight into Salazar's eyes and I noticed his triumphant looked turned horrified.

"AH! Not you, anyone but you!" Salazar screamed, somewhat shaking with fear.

"Ohh, you saw what I typed?" I asked, then saw Salazar's face turn angry.

"That was you?"

"Yep, I didn't know if you're a kid or a midget."

"I am 20 years old!" Salazar yelled at me, while I was smiling.

"I can't help it that I mistook you for a kid when you're really a midget." I argued, trying so hard not to bust up laughing.

"I'm resisting the undying urge to kill you right now." Salazar angrily said balling his hands into fists. "I actually tolerated you when I first met you." he said.

"What are you talking about... I just met you, I don't even know you!" I exclaimed, getting up off the floor, walked to the door of the cell and kneeled down to where I was eye to eye with the midget.

"It seems you've forgotten about us." the midget plainly said, "Lord Saddler will be disappointed that you of all people have forgotten him." he quietly mumbled to himself to where I couldn't hear him.

"What was that?" I asked, not sure what Salazar had said.

"Nothing," Salazar told me, then he looked to see two monks coming, "You two guard the cell!" the midget commanded, and placed the key where I couldn't see it.

'_Perfect, just perfect. I'm trapped in a cell with nothing but a knife, a radio, and an mp3 player... the radio! I can contact Leon!_' I thought, quickly getting out my radio and turned it on to the frequency Leon's radio was on but there was static. "Leon come in, this is Sora, please answer!" I spoke into the radio, hoping he would answer but instead of Leon I heard an insane laughter and Salazar's face appeared in the video feed.

"Sorry Sora but we've jacked the line." Salazar spoke, chuckling a bit.

"Salazar!" I screamed in anger. "You are just damn lucky that I don't have my shotgun or else I would have shot your annoying head off!"

"How lucky for us...you're completely unarmed which means that you won't put up a fight."

"Ohh I can put up a fight without my guns but how about making this easier for the both of us by giving me the key and you drop dead." I yelled at Salazar, not knowing that my cell was being unlocked and the monks dropped dead.

By the time I realized that my cell was unlocked Salazar cut off the transmission obviously unaware of his men's deaths, I opened the door and ran out hoping that I don't run into any monks. After running for so long I stopped to catch my breath, while I was catching my breath I noticed a small vase on a small table, to see what was inside I broke the vase with my knife only to find ammo for a shotgun I no longer have.

"Waah!" I cried, falling on my knees but held onto the table for support as I laid my head down on it, still crying and didn't notice that there was someone behind me.

"Aw, what's the matter chica have no gun for that ammo you got there?" a familiar voice said.

"Way to state the obvious Luis!" I yelled at him, wiping away my tears and turned to the Spanish man.

"Just to ask, where are your guns? Last time I saw you, you had about three guns in your possession."

"Well I think Leon still has my rifle and my other two guns got caught on something when I fell down a trapdoor along with my bag with the rest of my ammo." I told Luis.

"Well since you're in a pinch here's an extra gun I found." Luis said, handing me a handgun call the Punisher along with three boxed of handgun ammo.

When Luis placed the Punisher in my hands with the ammo I felt like I was going to cry tears of joy but as I was about to hug Luis to thank him for the gun and ammo he quickly backed away.

"I don't know what I said to offend you but I would appreciate it if you didn't knee me again."

"You idiot I was going to hug you to thank you for the gun." I said to Luis, then quickly gave him a hug and checked to see if the gun was loaded which it was.

"Now that your gun dilemma is solved it's best we get going. It wouldn't be wise to stay here for much longer." Luis told me, then started walking away in the direction I was originally going in.

As we walked down the corridor I lightly coughed causing Luis to look at me, I looked at my hand that I covered my mouth with to see if there was any blood but alas there was none. I told Luis that the cough was caused by a dry throat so he left me alone, then as Luis continued to walked infront of me I secretly took off my metal wristband, clamped it onto my pants and left it the way it was. Then after walking for who knows how long Luis told me to get my gun ready, at first I was hesitating but when I heard monks chanting stuff in Spanish I wasted no time pulling out my gun. What I didn't realize was that there were monks behind us, so as Luis and I were shooting the monks infront of us both me and Luis got hit from behind. Being hit from behind get me pissed off soo much that I got out my knife and slashed at some of their throats.

By the time I turned to Luis to see how he was holding up he grabbed my right wrist and had apparently saw the insignia on my wrist and I thought I heard him say something along the lines "So you're the girl with the mark." Before I knew what I was doing I yanked my wrist away from Luis, clamped my wristband back on it and let out an angry sign not knowing the monks that were behind Luis had fell to the ground dead with a loud pop from their backs.

"Sora, how did you do that?!" Luis questioned me, getting me more irritated.

"I didn't do anything Luis!" I raised my voice at him, then heard a monk chanting behind me. "Back off!" I yelled at the monk who was now running away.

With that Luis left be alone obviously waiting for me to simmer down before saying anything to me.

/ Leon's POV /

As I walked through the door I faintly heard monks chanting "Cójelo", "Morrir es vivir", and "Te voy a matar", and as far as I knew "Cójelo" meant "grab him", and "Te voy a matar" meant "I'm going to kill you!". While going farther in the room I picked up a red herb, a note about the 8th Castallan obviously talking about Salazar, and a box of handgun ammo with ten bullets. Before going through the last door I fastened Sora's rifle on my back, wielded my shotgun and kicked open the door to hear a monk yell "ahí está!" and several arrows were shot at me. As fast as I could I ducked behind a stone shelf to avoid the arrows but a monk that was on the same floor saw me so he immediately found me and tried to attack me but I neutralized him before he got the chance to hit me. When the monk was dead I switched out my shotgun with Sora's semi-auto rifle and tried to aim for the archers without being hit but after killing the archers on the left the one on the right managed to hit me with his arrow.

After I pulled out the arrow I quickly aimed and shot the last archer, as I saw the last archer die I tried to aim for the red monk but right when I got my perfect chance to shoot him, he ran in a room where I couldn't get him.

'_Coward._' I mentally called him, running to get to the door, entered a room only to shoot a monk in a distorted skull mask.

When I killed the monk I walked through another door to find myself on the second floor and as I looked around to see if I could shoot the red monk I couldn't get a shot so I ran around after I picked up a box of rifle ammo with five rounds in it. But as I jumped down to the floor where the red monk was a door slid open from where I jumped down and I seen the monk run. Seeing the monk stop across the room looking at me seeing it I would go after him, of course not falling for that old trick I took out Sora's rifle again, aimed it and shot the red robed monk. Not convinced that he was dead after the first shot I waited for a few seconds to see the monk getting up, luckily for me I managed to nail him two more times. After a few minutes I decided to go after him, on my way there I picked up a box of shotgun shells along with 4,000 ptas, once I picked up those items I ran up the stairs and ran to the monk's dead body.

I turned his body to check him for any items, what I had found was a key on the front of his robes, I took the key, ran back to the door and unlocked it.
