This is the separate ways scenario from the PS2 and Wii version of Resident Evil 4 that will act as somewhat of a side story for the main part. As always, RE and everything pertaining to it belongs to CAPCOM. But, A certain someone belongs to yours truly.
Separate Ways Chapter 1: Ring the Church Bell.
" The only reason we've taken this mission, is to get closer to our objective. No matter what happens, neither of us can let anyone figure that out. Of course, hiding in the shadows is just not my style. Despite what my partner may think, I'll have to reveal myself to him and offer advice. . . . . . Once in a while.
In the middle of the village, a man in a white shirt and brown overalls shoveling hay with his pitchfork. Another villager in brown trousers, and a brown coat wiped sweat from his brow, placing the blunt end of his hatchet on his shoulder. A female villager in a light blue dress and a bonnet herded a small group of chickens. She turned and stared at the roof of a nearby house for a moment, before returning to her task. On the same roof, a woman in a red dress and another in a tank top, bulletproof vest, and leather jeans continued across, eventually landing near a small building out of sight. The woman in the dress pulled a viewing scope from her belt, observing the center of activity in the village. The woman released a mostly inaudible gasp as she saw a police man in a bonfire, hanging from a large hook jutting through his chest. Unknown to the two, a pair of villagers armed with a kitchen knife and pitchfork were behind them. They yelled and attacked, the pair easily dodging their attack. The woman in the dress aimed the gun in her hand, and pulled the trigger. Instead of a muzzle discharge, the fiber cord attached to the inside of the barrel began to reel in at high speed. Pulling it from the ground, hidden by the leaves, knocking both of the villagers into the wall, dispatching them both immediately, with the man's pitchfork stabbing into the ground. The woman in the dress heard her communicator beep, and opened it, revealing the image of her superior, Albert Wesker, Former captain of the Raccoon city S.T.A.R.S. Alpha team, and former Umbrella agent and researcher.
" So I see you and your partner managed to arrive at the village on time, Ada." Wesker said, clad in an Italian leather suit.
" Yes, but nobody remembered to roll out our red carpet." Ada said, keeping an eye out for more villagers.
" The villagers are being controlled. They automatically attack any intruders. Ring the Church Bell, that should quiet them down for a while." Wesker said.
" Hmm . . . . sounds like they're obedient little boys and girls." Ada said.
" Unfortunately, time is not a luxury we have. . . . Gather as much information about the parasites as you can, and finish off this little tour." Wesker said. Ada turned off the communicator, just in time to hear gunshots ring out. She turned, and saw a man with blonde hair and a younger white haired man, both firing at the crowd of villagers.
" Leon . . . ." Ada said to herself.
" Come on, we need to move." Her partner, Reisha Black said, holding her loaded SIG Pro handgun at the ready. Since the incident in Raccoon city, Ada and Reisha had stayed in touch, when Wesker had assigned them both for this new mission. Ada nodded, drawing her Springfield Armory XD/HS2000 Black tail handgun. The two avoided the sight of Leon and Dante, picking off any villagers too close. Reisha delivered an uppercut to a villager with a sickle, taking the pink gem he dropped, placing it in her side pack. Ada gave Reisha a box of 10000 pesetas, as she shot and killed another villager with her handgun. Ada used her grapple gun to bring herself up to the roof of one building, seeing a key with the cult group insignia on it. Ada grabbed it, and her and Reisha entered a door bearing the same insignia. Inside, they saw a man in a cloak and large backpack.
" Got something that might interest ya, stranger." the man said, opening his cloak, showing a surprising collection of firearms. Ada purchased a Mossberg 590 cruiser shotgun with pistol grip and fore grip, while Reisha chose to purchase a .223 caliber H&K SL8 Prototype semi auto sniper with an increased optic scope. The man nodded, trading the weapons, carrying slings, and a box of ammo for the weapons in exchange for the pair's money. They went into the next room, opening the trap door leading to an underground passage which connected to the church grounds. When they were at the middle of the path, they heard several villagers coming towards them from both sides. They went back to back, picking off the villagers as they ran towards them. A few minutes later, the group of Ganados were all dead, bubbling away to nothing. After grabbing three pink jewels, 3 boxes of 4000 pesetas, and an elegant head dress. The two agents proceeded up the ladder at the end of the passage, leading them to the graveyard in front of the church. After dispatching the Ganados in the cemetery, and discovering the doors of the church locked, Ada and Reisha went to the back to search for something of use. They noticed a pedestal with 7 symbols. Inside it behind bars, was the key needed to open the door to the Church. The inscription on the pedestal read
" 3 Family Insignias of the Dead Ringers." They noticed that the dial only turned in increments of three or four. After several tries, the bars finally slid aside, and they pulled it from the pedestal. When they removed the Insignia, the opening to where the pedestal was closed, iron bars blocking the exit. They placed the Insignia back, and went down the path opposite the church. Reisha heard a chainsaw, and saw a woman with her head bandaged up, wielding a chainsaw. From her rifle scope, Reisha saw that the woman had a green cats eye around her neck. Ada grabbed her shotgun, and watched Reisha fire three shots effortlessly into the head of the female villager with the chainsaw. The shots merely made the woman stagger backwards, and she continued her charge towards the duo. When the chainsaw villager was only feet away, Ada blasted her in the face with a spray of lead. Reisha drew her handgun, firing several shots at the woman, as Ada delivered more shotgun rounds to the woman's form. The chainsaw villager finally died, and Reisha pulled the cats eye from the woman's neck. They placed it in the pedestal, and the gate opened. They placed the insignia into the door, and opened it. Inside, they heard more villagers and quickly searched for supplies. They found a box of handgun shells, and a hand grenade. The two climbed up the ladder, a Ganado on the first floor threw a hatchet at them, hitting Ada's shoulder. Reisha grabbed her, threw her up, and on the ladder fired several shots at the villager responsible. Ada shot the Ganado up top, and they proceeded to the control panel, where they had to arrange the lights into a certain pattern to activated the bell. After 10 minutes, the pattern locked in, and the bell started to ring. At the village, the Ganados began to drop their weapons, proceeding to the church via the door connected to the underground passage. Leon scoffed, saying
" Where's everyone going, bingo?"
Back at the church, Reisha and Ada disappeared, heading towards the house of Bitores Mendez, the chief of the village. After sneaking inside, Ada pulled out her communicator, and started on her data log.
" Here's what we know so far. . . . . Osmund Saddler's cult is known as the Los Illuminados. They resurrected some sort of parasitic organism known as Las Plagas. That's all our organization knows for sure. Though Saddler's cultic activities seem worthy of an investigation, the Salazar family, Castellans for generations, possessed the ability to control Las Plagas. The organization's hypothesis is that a unique kind of sonic waves, sensed only by the parasites, is used to control them. The same principle used in dog whistles. . . .
This was inferred through the analysis of a tissue sample we retrieved. The tissue contained an organ presumably used for sensing sound waves. I've seen cult members carrying ceremonial rods, and I wonder if they emit these sounds. Of course, this is purely theoretical.
The organization needs samples of the parasites to confirm or disprove these theories. That is the main objective of our mission, and the only way to prove my loyalty to the organization. The opening moves in this chess game have been played. There's no turning back now. . . . .
Well, that's it for the first Separate Ways chapter. What shall happen next? Find out on the next chapter. And remember to Read and Review.
