As the students exited the portal, they saw a very disturbing environment. It was nighttime, and air was thick and full of fog. Trees scattered the fielded area, and a dirt road was in front of them. The students noticed their clothing. It was the kind police officers wear, only a bit more militaristic. The students heard their teacher's voice from the area, but could not see him.
"All right, students, on this assignment you will go under the guise of vigilantes. You have no connection to any larger organization. Your primary weapons are the handguns you have been equipped with. All other equipment you will have to find on your own. Your first objective is to find Leon Kennedy. He's been sent on a mission by this world's government to find the President's daughter. But your assignment is only to destroy the core of this new plague in the village. Remember, you have no connection to the government."
"Where are you, Taro-Sensei?" Hiro asked.
"I'm still in the room. I'm communicating to you through telepathy. Thought you knew."
"Taro-Sensei, again?" Reyna asked. "You did this last time. When will you come with us on assignment again?"
"This is your mission." he replied. "You need to finish it on your own. Good luck, students." His voice disappeared. The students sighed.
"Taro-Sensei..." Sakura said.
"Well, you heard him. We better find that Leon guy." Kai said.
"We have no idea where he is." Reyna said. "We better split up."
"In case you haven't noticed, this isn't a place where you'd wanna get lost." Arkum said.
"Fine. We'll all just follow the path. That's gotta give us something." Reyna replied. The students nodded and began to walk down the path. The night made it hard to see, but they quickly arrived at an old house with lit candles. Kai looked inside and saw nothing but some old crates. Cracking them open with his gun, he found some ammunition for their guns. He tossed it around, and everyone stashed it away for later.
"Don't go crazy with the shooting, everyone." he said. "We don't know how much ammo we'll be able to find." They all nodded and continued down the path. Sounds could be heard from the trees. Eerie sounds. A loud flap burst from the tree. Reyna, who was second from the front, jumped and quickly shot to the tree. The gunfire burst to the trees causing a couple of birds to fly away. Kai, who was in front, turned around and gave her a glare. She smiled innocently, trying to distract him from her actions.
"Sorry." she said, still smiling. "I'm...a little on edge."
"I can tell." Kai replied, sarcastically. Hiro, Sakura, and Arkum sighed and continued to walk with Kai and Reyna. After about five minutes, they came to a locked, metal door. Kai attempted to break it down, but it stood. "Locked." he said.
"Can you climb over it?" Hiro asked.
"Maybe, but I'd need a boost."
"Can do." Arkum said. Arkum lifted Kai over the metal door. Kai landed on the ground and saw a small village on the other side. The buildings looked worn, but he didn't notice any people. He quickly unlocked the door and let the others in. The village was desolate in the night. The buildings were old and were falling apart. Different paths snaked around the buildings, all of them eventually leading to the middle of the village.
"Well, this is an inviting little scene we have here." Hiro said, sarcastically.
"I wonder where the villagers are." Sakura said. A chilling wind began to blow. A quiet rustling could be heard along one of the paths. Kai hid behind a nearby tree, with the others following his lead. Kai clenched his weapon and peered around toward the dark village to see a pitchfork-wielding villager. They appeared to be working as they normally would. Kai walked over to the villager, with the others following him.
"Excuse me." he said. The villager quietly turned around. Its eyes were red and had a disturbing glow in them. There was no hesitation in the villager's actions; it swung the pitchfork around. Kai narrowly avoided the attack and jumped back. "I think we found our plague." he said. The villager moaned in a haunting tone and grabbed Kai by the throat. Kai clenched the villager's arms, struggling to escape. He breathing quickly became irregular. Hiro dashed around and shot at the villager's legs. It stumbled and let go of Kai. "Thanks, Hiro."
"I don't think these guys are gonna listen to reason." Arkum said. The group could see more villagers coming as the first one began to regain its stance.
"What's the plan?" Sakura said.
"Shoot first, ask questions later." Kai said, taking aim. A barrage of bullets shot from his pistol. Villagers dropped with each shot. As Kai reloaded, he thought up a plan. "Everyone, split up!" he said.
"But, we'll get slaughtered!" Sakura said.
"Split up and gather as much ammunition as you can find! Circle back to the center of the village! We'll take them out there!" he yelled, running down the center of the village. Reyna and Sakura took off down one side, Hiro and Arkum down the other. Kai frantically outran the crazed stampede of infested villagers, reloading his pistol as much he could. He hid inside an old building from the middle of the village. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see a different group of villagers chasing Reyna and Sakura. "Dammit..." he said, quietly. The first group of villagers rushed into the building, banging on the windows and doors. Kai pushed a chest in front of the door. As he did, he heard an ominous humming sound coming from the other side. The sound became louder and louder as he backed away from the door. The door was then smashed down by a fierce group of villagers, all led by a masked chainsaw-wielding leader. Kai rushed up the stairs, sweating pouring down his face. The chainsaw-wielder closed in behind him. Closer, until the loud hum was right in Kai's ear. There was nowhere left to run.
Review please.
