AUTHOR'S NOTE: Okay, the first time when I wrote this on paper, I really screwed the story up. You'll know what I mean if you've played RE4. I know it's not supposed to be perfect or anything, but I messed up pretty bad with where SLy and Leon are right now. So forgive and I'll try my best to fix this problem (even though you probably didn't notice cause this really isn't supposed to be about RE4.).

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anyone or anything in Sly3, RE4, or JAKX.

CHAPTER TEN:

VIOLENT RUN IN

"Hey, look crows!" Sly said. Sly and Leon were both somewhere in the eastern part of the village, still looking for Sammie, Murray, and Jennifer. Sly rushed forward, eager to see an animal besides cows and chickens. The birds took one look at him, flapped their wings, and flew off. Sly stopped in midstride and watched the crows descend farther and farther from view.

"Dangit, Sly!" Leon said angrily. "The crows when shot would've dropped pesetas and ammo, both I need kinda badly." Sly looked over at him. "Sorry, I was just excited to see another animal. How come they don't talk?" Leon glanced at Sly while putting in a new magazine (a magazine is a gun 'clip' that can hold over 15 bullets. Leon's handgun only holds ten). "Because they're just animals. They're not supposed to talk. You're not even supposed to exist. You're just a bio-organic creature that Umbrella created..."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Sly said, stopping Leon in midsentence. "What do you mean "Umbrella created me - a bio-organic creature" ? I'm who I am, I'm not a monster!" Leon looked at Sly for a minute, before lowering and shaking his head. "Sorry bout that. Didn't mean to offend you or anything. It's just that after that six years ago thing in Raccoon City, Umbrella and me really don't get along anymore." Leon then told Sly about what happened, Umbrella doing illegal experimenting, the T-virus breaking loose and infecting the whole city.

Sly listened quietly. When Leon finished he looked thoughtfully at him. "Did that really happen, or are you just pullin my leg?" Leon shook his head. "I'm telling you the truth, but you choose to believe it or not. Anyway, we gotta find the girls and Murray, now come on!"

Leon walked over to where the three crows had been and shot the two beartraps. Leon led Sly up the path and into the house at the end, before entering collected the piece of jewelry dangling above a smelling well.

They went up the stairs, but stopped at a sealed door with what looked like a crystal ball on it. "What is that supposed to be?" Sly asked as he gently touched it. The little figure in the crystal ball moved up. "Whoa!" Sly said, withdrawing. Leon examined it. "It looks like some sort of insignia." Leon then touched the ball again on the left, and they both heard something click. "I think something activated." Leon said, just as the door opened, revealing a small, but comfortable room.

"And we have a winner!" Sly said, walking into the room. The room had a large bed, a closet, a huge bookshelf, a desk with a small lamp, and two paintings of a weird looking man in a purple robe. "Who the crap is that?" Sly asked. "This is the ugliest man I have ever seen in my life." Leon walked over to join Sly. "Not the kind that I would get along with." Leon said. SLy shrugged. "Who cares how you get along wit him, he's still ugly."

Leon walked over to the small desk and opened the first drawer. One handgun ammo package. He collected that and walked over to the bed. A piece of paper lay on the bed. Leon picked up. "A note from the chief." He said outloud, making Sly look in his direction. "What?" Sly asked. Leon glanced up at him and quickly stuffed the note in pocket. "Nothing. Come on lets go." Leon walked over to a door on the other side of the room and opened it slowly and catiously, Sly right behind.

They heard two male voices speaking in spanish from somewhere downstairs. Leon glanced back at Sly and motioned for him to stay in the room. Sly shook his head defiantly and Leon rolled his eyes, giving in. Seeing no other danger as the voices faded, Leon and Sly both stepped into the small hallway - just as a huge hand reached forward and grabbed Leon by the neck. "Leon!" Sly cried, rushing to Leon's defense.

Sly then saw a very tall man with a beard. The man looked at him funny for a second, then turned his attention back to the suffocating Leon. "Leon I'll help you!" Sly yelled, charging at the tall man. The man merely reached out his arm, hand up, and easily stopped Sly's attack. "Take this, and this!" Sly said, but to no avail, as the tall man had easily kept Sly away from him by using his hand pressed against Sly's forehead.

"Stop hurting Leon!" Sly with all his remaining strength, lashed out at the man, this time actually touching him and ripping his trench coat. The man glared evilly at Sly, before moving his hand from Sly's forehead to strike him on the side of his face. Sly went sailing across the small hall, violently banging his head on the other side, and rolling down the stairs.

The man turned his attention to Leon, and noticed something about him... He then threw Leon on the ground. Leon clutched his stomach, struggling to catch all the air that had left him. "You carry the same blood as us, it seems," the man said. "Nevertheless you are an outsider. Just remember, if you become unpleasant to our eyes, you will face severe consequences." With that, the tall man walked back into apparently his bedroom and shut the door. Leon got up slowly and looked at the closed bedroom door. "Same blood?" He asked. Suddenly he remembered Sly. "Sly!" Leon yelled, rushing down the stairs to his fallen comrade.

Sly lay at the bottom of the stairs in a crumpled heap. "Sly?" Leon asked, bending down beside him, and noticing his wounds. The left side of his head was badly bruised, and had a 3 inch long, maybe deeper cut on top of the bruise, and Leon feared that his ankle was broken. "Aw man, Sly," Leon lifted up the unconscious Sly and headed out the door on the bottom level.

NOTE: That chapter was kinda dramatic, oh well. Sorry folks, no humor in this chapter. Probably the next one though. Read and review.
