Hey. Me again. Sorry about the long wait, but you'd be amazed at how many bullet, knife, and bite wounds I have. Ah, the stitches hurt even now. Anyhow, people, time for an explanation of what happened next.
I can remember having some sort of weird dream. This weird guy in a cloak put this odd needle into my neck and injected something in while mumbling something about 'giving me their power' or some other load of crap. God knows. Thankfully, I woke up. I was tied to some guy. On closer inspection, it appeared to be the strange dude I unlocked from the cupboard. Without even a thanks. Ungrateful little shit. Anyway, I elbowed him until he woke up. He grunted and looked round.
'Ai yai yai,' He said. 'Out of one hole and into another.' I lost my patience. Not that I had any at this point, but I lost some in potentia, if you get my drift. No? I read it somewhere. Go figure. I decided to get whatever I could out of him.
'Would you mind telling me what the hell's going on here?' I asked. I don't tend for being polite. He didn't seem to care, and ignored the question entirely.
'Americano, si? Now what brings a bloke like you to a dump like this?' He asked. I gave up. Might as well humour him.
'My name's Leon. I came here looking for this girl. Have you seen her?' I managed awkwardly to show him Ashley's photo. He took a long look.
'What, are you supposed to be a cop or something? Nah, you don't look the type.' I laughed. This guy wasn't so bad.
'Maybe.'
'Okay,' he replied, 'let me guess. She's the President's daughter?' I stopped in mid-thought. This guy knew something.
'That's too good for a guess.' I told him. 'Want to start explaining?'
'Psychic powers.' What? Surely…Then he started laughing. Prick. 'Nah, just kidding with you amigo. I overheard one of the villagers talking about her. Apparently, she's in the church.' I noted this down in my head. He did know something.
'And who might you be?' I asked. I had to know sometime.
'Me llamo Luis Sera. I used to be a cop in Madrid. Now I'm a good for nothing guy who happens to be quite the lady's man.' A cop. That brought back memories. I decided to level with Luis.
'I was a cop once, but only for a day.' He seemed astonished.
'And I thought I was bad.' He said. At least you didn't see what I saw. Lucky beggar.
'I managed to get involved with the incident at Racoon City on my first day on the force.' I wondered if he knew about it. He seemed to know quite a lot.
'The one with the viral outbreak?' Well, isn't he well informed. 'I think I may have seen a sample of the virus in the lab at my department.' Holy shit, did he just say what I think he said? A sample of the virus! Shit, he did. I had to get Ashley, and quick! Suddenly, there was a sound at the door before it burst open. A man shuffled in, dragging an axe. Luis stared in fear. 'Do something cop!' He screamed in my ear.
'You first!' I screamed back. I had a split second to think. Then I thought of something. It was clichéd and risky, but it just might work. I moved at the last second so that the axe hit the chain binding me and Luis together. I then preformed a very complicated manoeuvre, pressing my foot into the villager's chest and flipping him over into the wall. He hit it and broke his neck. Meanwhile, Luis looked at me, all frightened, then ran. Jerk. I found my shotgun and reloaded. Time to split! Or has that all ready been done?
As I made my way out of the house, someone appeared at the window. I began to pull the trigger when he did something very odd. He waved me over. I'm not joking. He really did. With the red eyes and everything. Naturally, I was curious. I walked outside and went round the back. There he was. A weirdly garbed man, just standing there. He spoke to me, then lifted his cloak. Underneath was more ammunition than I'd ever seen on any one man. Then he tried to sell stuff to me. Seriously. I'm not even kidding. I took advantage of this, and bought a rifle. Big old thing. Looked rusty. But it worked. The freak even upgraded my handgun. What an engineer. I have to say, it felt more meaty. I finished off the meeting by asking for a larger case. I thanked him, went back round the front and went through the gate. Upon entering, I decided that the shotgun might be better for now.
It was a mine. I think. It was suspended high above an incredibly high drop. I knew because I shot someone off the side, and it was quite some time before I heard the sickening crunch of body to rock. Ouch. I came across more TNT wielding sons of bitches, some ammo, and a weird door. There appeared to be an engraving. I tried pushing open the door. Nada. I decided to go looking for whatever opened this thing. I went searching around the ledge, high up in the rock face. There I found something that looked like the engraving. I went back to the door and tried fitting it in. It fitted perfectly. Unfortunately, it appeared to be only half of the engraving. Bugger. I looked around with my binoculars, spying some sort of chest on one of the buildings. Maybe that had the other piece…long story short, it did.
My next encounter was some sort of house. Or something of the sort, anyway. Several villagers jumped out at me, but a carefully placed grenade took care of them. I found a door leading outside. I took it. As I stepped outside, a knife flew into the doorframe inches from my head. I quickly leapt into some cover. I took a quick look over my barricade: There were four villagers, two with knives and other sharp things, and there were two of those nice TNT chaps. After a few explosions and near-bull's-eye throws by the bastards, I'd had enough. I took out my rifle, aimed, and pulled the trigger. The bullet spun towards a lit TNT. I quickly ducked. The explosion sent chunks of meat flying in my direction. Oops! My bad! After a bit of exploring, I found a boarded-up window which I shot through. Inside was a gold mask. This could come in handy. I went on, coming across more angry villagers. I trudged on, coming to a bridge over an underground pond. Or sewer. There appeared to be fish down there…anyway, I hopped down, grabbed some stuff and went fishing. Yum. Sewer bass tastes good, you know?
I climbed up the ladder, found a lovely brass pocket watch and continued on my way until I came to what actually was quite a nice house. Inside I found a door with a weird green orb in it. It looked strangely like the one on the door in the village. After a bit of mental stress, it ended up correct and the door opened. I think I twisted it up, then left…or right. Never mind. Inside was quite a nice room, if I do say so. It was a bedroom. Nothing like the ones back there. I looked around, and found some ammunition. Strangely, there was a bookcase filled with manuals in English. I don't know why, but there you go. I heard some voices behind the other door. I went through it. There were some Spanish voice coming from downstairs. I took out my gun and crept along. Suddenly, I heard something behind me. Nothing, thank goodness. I turned around again, and came face to face with big ugly. The 'big cheese'. Or Lord Saddler? No, didn't look the type, now I came to think about it. Enough about that. He grabbed me by the neck, hoisting me off the ground. Not a position I love, you know? He was choking me, the son of a bitch! He was strangling me! I started to see lights flashing in front of my eyes, when suddenly he stopped and let go.
'You have the same blood as us, it seems.' He said. 'Never the less, you're an outsider. Just remember, if you become a nuisance, you face severe consequences.' Eh? Come again? The big guy walked off. Same blood? What the hell was he talking about? Okay, now I'm freaked out…if I wasn't already…what? I'm needed at the White House? Terrorist threat? Again? Okay, listen, I'll get back to you later. The President needs me.
Tip: Throughout the game, there are several weapons that you can obtain for free. I will list them here:
Handgun: You get this at the beginning of the game, of course.
Shotgun: You find this on the wall upstairs in one of the houses in the village.
Punisher: Destroy 15 blue medallions then speak to the merchant.
Broken Butterfly: You find this in a treasure chest in the middle of the castle. You need Ashley to help you get it.
Rocket Launcher: Yes, you do find one just lying about. It's in the room with the extendable bridge. You go round the back and bingo! There it is.
Special Rocket Launcher: The final boss fight. Enough said.
Stranger, Stranger, now that's a weapon: Yes, it's me again. A new feature for one and all! This is where I discuss the weapons throughout the game. Today's topic: Handguns.
There are several handguns in the game. The original handgun is a brilliant weapon, but lacks in power. The Red9 is a good gun, but requires a stock and isn't actually that good. The Punisher seems like a good idea, with the power to blast through up to five enemies at once, but it doesn't actually do much damage. Therefore we present exhibit D, the Blacktail. The Blacktail is unfathomably good, with a starting power of 1.2 and a large amount of ammunition. It is also very accurate.
Prices: Usually around 120000-200000.
Upgrade costs: 1000-150000
Ammunition: Handgun ammo.
Rarity: Common.
Price per shot: 50pst.
