Chapter 5: The Unforeseen

Wesker picked the planks of nailed wood from the entrance to the mine, his strength bending, breaking and discarding them.

"You know, we aren't just here for Leon" stated Ada as her and Sherry watched Wasker peel the wook away like dry lead paint.

"I know... but then again, I'm not part of your mission now am I?" countered Sherry.

"Very good, if you lose to the enemy I will not come back for you"

"I honestly don't care, I've seen what they can do, I've seen the blood and mutation... all I need to do is find Claire" said the girl, certainty in her voice.

"Hey!, are you two going to sit there and talk, or are you going to come in!" yelled Wesker as he discared the last of the wood and pulled out his desert eagle.

Ada and Sherry walked for the entrance, but Sherry stopped Ada, "Youth before age" she said in a smirk and she continued.

Ada gave the back of Sherry a scowl and continued, but then stopping when she met Wesker at the front. "First pit we find, she goes first".

Wesker just gave a short chuckled and followed the two rays of sunshine.

"It feels unstable!" shouted Jill from the otherside of the large underground river, they had found a bridge to cross and so far there was little enmy contact but the the smell that dwelling inside the mines, they could tell death was in the air.

Unfortunately, the bridge wasn't very stable and only Jill had crossed so far.

"I'll go next" said Barry, stepping carefully onto the the wooden plake bridge.

Rebecca, on the other hand, was investigating the river, it was coming in the direction of the ocean... and the water was salty. That, was very uncommon and unusual.

Soon Barry, Claire, Rebecca and Ashley had gone and it was Chris's turn.

He stepped on slowly, his heart pounding as he walked across the shaky bridge. There then was a deafing crack... and Chris and team froze. After a few moments which seemed like hours, Chris began to walk again. He was three steps from the end of the bridge now... now two... now one. He smiled, but just before his foot hit the ground, there was another crack and the bridge collapsed.

He fell into the water, a piece of wood smacking him across the side of his face, knocking him unconscious as he was pushed down by the racing water.

"CHRIS!" screamed Claire, running to the water's edge and getting ready to dive in.

"Claire!, NO!" screamed Jill, grabbing the women around her waist and pulled in back where Barry grabbed her flapping arms.

"Chris!, let me go!, Not again!, NOT AGAIN!" she cried, but soon stopped struggling and fell to tears.

Rebecca walked over and held her as she cried, comforting her. "Shh... Claire... he knew... and... I'm sure he'll be okay" she said,. though from the look on her face, she felt like she was spilling out lies.

Soon the young brunette managed to gather herself together and get up, "Okay... let's go..." she said, solemnly.

Ashley could tell by her eyes that for her... it was like losing half of her world, the two were so close, heck, if she hadn't read in their profiles that they were brother and sister she would have mistaken them for lovers.

The S.T.A.R.S. party continued on, they soon found a long tunnel and began to walk down, solemnly.

Leon kept running, so far he hadn't found anymore robed figures which was a good thing. He kept running, even though by now he began to wonder.

'What happened to her, did she get kidnapped!' the thoughts poured in, scenes in his head playing like a movie reel, each thought worse then the other.

'What if she got raped?, DAMN IT, THAT WAS HIS TERRITORY!... what if she was killed!, OH, SO HELP HIM GOD IF THEY KILLED HER, I'LL FUCKED KILL THEM ALL!'. Each thought enraged him now, just thinking of those disgusting folk having their way with HIS Ashley was enough to set him off.

He kept running, though his pace was inceasing dramatically and he wasn't watching where he was going and suddenly he felt a hand pick him up by the left shoulder and stop him before throwing him againest the side of the tunnel, 'Damn it, I'm being stupid again!' he mentally scolded himself, this wasn't like him.

He immedialty let the sting of pain spring his body up and look around, he was now in the part of the tunnel that split off into three different sections, and there, standing in one of the entrances was Ada... Albert... and Sherry.

"Well, well... if it isn't Leon" said Ada huskily and walking over.

"Ada... what are you doing here?" he said, rather confused.

"Leon!" shouted Sherry, as she ran over and hugged him. Her rough external look fading faster then a popsicle on the sun.

"S-Sherry!?" he said, recongizing her by her attitude and voice. "Wow... you've really changed" he said, surprised that the once little girl had changed so much.

"Hello... Leon" said Wesker, stepping closer up.

"Albert Wesker..." stated Leon, "They have a picture of you set up at headquaters... appearnetly your a traitor". He had read Wesker's report and had searched the database before and read all about him.

"LEON!" shouted a strange, fimiliar voice.

Claire stayed solemn as they walked down the tunnel, Barry covering the back. Ashley had been silent too and everyone seemed down... for some reason; it felt like they hadn't ACTUALLY expected anyone to die, before Ashley had talked to Rebecca and Rebecca said that after Umbrella had fallen... that they thought there wouldn't be anymore death of friends and family members.

They walked like that for almost a half an hour before Ashley heard what sounded like something hitting a wall. Before anyone could stop her, she ran infront of the group and dashed forward.

"God dammit!" shouted Jill as she raced after Ashley.

"LEON!" cried Ashley, she didn't know what had jump started her gears, but just... the sound... she didn't know why but she knew it was Leon. It HAD to be Leon... it just had to be.

In the amount of five seconds, Ashley had ran, found and jumped onto Leon in attempt of a hug.

Sherry and Ada had backed off, assuming that she was some sort of crazed zombie.

Though, Ashley climbed off of him so he could see her fully.

Leon, who had thought he was under attack and was sure of it when he felt his gun slip out of his hand as he fell to ground again. But... he looked up and when he saw her face, he pulled her down and hugged her.

"Leon... I thought I lost you" whimpered Ashley as they hugged.

"Me too Ash, me too..." he said, letting his wanting hand pet through her hair, oh, how he missed that feeling of her soft blonde hair in between her fingers and his anger and worry that was once there... just melted away.

Soon, the entire S.T.A.R.S. team caught up and when Claire saw Leon she ran over to his side after he let go of Ashley.

The two hugged each other and Claire gave him a quick update on what was going on and why they were there.

Though... before Leon to say anything to thank Ashley, there was an unusual scream of pain that came from... Wesker!?

"YOU FUCKING, CHEATING MAN-WHORE!" shouted Rebecca as she hammered the butt of her pistol into Albert's arm, which was up in defense.

Jill grabbed Rebecca and pulled her away, "Okay, STOP!, what the hell is this all about?" she asked, obviously knowing that Wesker must have done something pretty bad to Rebecca in order to get her to do THAT!

Rebecca put a hand down into her bulletproof vest and pulled out a piece of paper, then unfolded it. It was a picture of her... in a very suggestive basketball uniform. "FIRST, YOU STALK ME, THEN YOU DATE ME FOR TWO DAYS UNTIL YOU MAKE A MOVE AND I REJECT YOU AND YOU NAG ME UNTIL I FINALLY SAY YES!, THEN YOU NEVER CALL AGAIN!" she shouted.

Jill grabbed the picture from Rebecca's hand and eyed it, "Becky... oh my..." was all she could say. She was both turned on and angry, turned on becuase of the picture and angry becuase now she KNEW what Wesker had done to her.

There was the sound of a bullet go into the air and Barry walked into the middle of the three meeting tunnels. "Okay... everyone!, calm down, we are on a mission here!" he shouted, before bring out his PDA and sending Mr. Anderson a message telling him that they gained access to the mine and found Leon.

Leon, however, interjected. "We can't leave yet... we need to find out what they are doing here... so far I think the Los Illuminados are back at it" he said.

"But, we killed Saddler" interrupted Ashley.

"I don't know... I think this goes deeper..." said Leon.

Wesker stepped in, "Okay, first part of the mission complete... now we need to know what they are doing here" he stated, pulling out his pistol once again.

Leon looked at the S.T.A.R.S... then at Ada, Sherry and Wesker. "... Ashley... I'm going with them" he said, looking at her with a stone face.

"But... Leon... I came here for you... we have to go!"

"Ashley..."

"Leon... come on, your going now!"

"Ashley!" growled Leon, getting annoyed

"Come on, now!" finished the girl, grabbing Leon's arm.

" ASHLEY!" shouted Leon, irriated and with that, he pulled his hand away but accidently smacked Ashley across the face. He froze... and saw that Ashley was looking at him... tears forming in her eyes. "I'm going..." he finished and turned around.

"Then I'm coming with you" Ashley persisted.

Barry gave a sigh, "If you go that means WE have to go!" he said, not wanting to stay in this hell any longer then they should have too.

"Well then"-she turned and shot him a look-"Get ready" and with that, she looked down solemnly and began to walk forward, ahead of the rest of the group.

"Guess we're a TEAM now" muttered Jill.

"They're only going to get in the way" grunted Wesker as they walked.

Soon, everyone was heading down to where Ashley was headed.

Claire and Leon stood there, before Claire walked over and slapped Leon across the face very ,very hard. "Chris didn't die just so that you could hit her" she stated, giving Leon a solid stare... eye to eye. Then walking off...

Leon already felt regret flow through him... not only did he just hit the love of his life and the girl who saved him. His resuce costed Claire her brother and he had just returned to his past that had always seemed to catch up to him...
