Author's Note: Hope you liked the last chapter. Now I' m introducing another creature from RE 4, the Garrador, aka the Blind Man. More creatures are coming also!

Chapter 5

Skipping over a giant plothole Leon crawled out of the sewers. He was in a large boiler room. Wherever he was the place used up a lot of power. Coming out of the room he found himself in an even larger atrium. The style was Gothic, and the Illuminados insignia was everywhere. As he navigated around pillars and statues he looked up to a balcony where several Illuminados Zealots were assembled.

"Welcome!" said the lead Zealot, "Me llamo Antonio Irmoso; chief deputy to my master, Lord Sanchez." Most of the Zealots were sporting crossbows, but a few were also holding TMPs. "Your friends had a rough landing," continued Irmoso, "but thankfully we still have enough El Gigantes to continue the project."

"What project!" asked Leon, his hand straying to his gun. When dealing with heavily armed perpetrators always keep them talking.

"We've had a small shortage of new members ever since someone stole practically all of our Plagas samples. To remedy that we've been breeding a few more. The world will crumble at our might!" Leon made his move, firing the magnum without warning. The shot went through Irmoso's left arm with a bone shattering crunch and it went limp. "You'll pay for that one American! Have fun while my toys play with you."

As he left doors opened and Zealots poured in. The ones stationed on the balcony cocked their weapons. The lead Zealot on the balcony raised his hand for the attack; but stopped. All the Zealots suddenly grew very quiet.

With the sound of a knife going through butter three blades emerged from the Zealot's chest. Braying madly the Garrador took the corpse and tore it in half. Leon took this distraction to prepare two small earplugs. The Garrador was now under fire from the Zealots. TMP rounds bounced off the monster's armor. Using the blades as a shield it ran straight towards the closest Zealot, when it was in range the blade lashed out, severing the Zealot's arm and leaving a gash in his body. The gun was flung in the air by the dying Zealot and was fielded by Leon, who opened fire on the Zealots on the ground level.

Hearing the shots, having finished with the Zealots on the balcony, the Garrador leapt down and charged straight at Leon. Leon ran in front of a Zealot, putting him in between him and the Garrador, shot it in the legs, dropped the gun and ran away. Unable to move, the Zealot was run through by the Garrador's blades, which slammed into the floor, right where Leon had dropped the gun.

The Garrador sheathed its claws in order to get unstuck from the floor. That's when Leon acted. He dropped a sonic grenade, which emitted a high pitch wail. Everyone in the room instinctively covered their ears, except for Leon, thanks to the earplugs. Using the riot gun he blew away the rest of the Zealots. Advancing on the Garrador, he took his knife and rammed it into its right arm. The blades instinctively unsheathed themselves; right into the Garrador's head. The blades met no resistance as they skewered the skull, killing itself instantly.

Moving on, Leon wandered the halls looking for clues. The whole castle held no evidence except for the Illuminados symbols. Leon suspected that there were more facilities underground. He called Ada on the walkie talkie. "Report," said Ada.

"I've found the right hand man. His name is Antonio Irmoso and he works for a guy named Sanchez. They're breeding the plagas."

"I've located the remainder of Hunk's troop," said Ada. We've taken one of the castles and are holding ground. I've also located an area schematics. You're currently located in one of the smaller barracks. You won't find a lot of Zealots in there unless they are off duty. A Garrador has been stationed on each floor, but many of them went feral and many have been terminated. There should be a cable car that will take you to an adjacent lab facility. Hunk left and said he'd meet you there. Good luck."
