Plague of Darkness
Ada"Ada, do you copy? This is Krauser. Ada, please respond." Ada quickly turned on her radio and then pressed it against his ear.
"Saddler is planning to move Ashley to the island facility, which means that he's going to be leaving as soon as he gets possession of her. You need to be ready to follow him. I don't know if you can hear me, but your signal is coming from the church. You need to get out of there, Saddler is approaching. Krauser out."
Ada hooked it back onto her belt and ducked behind the barrels as she saw Leon and Ashley leaving from the church cellar. They had to get out of there before Saddler returned from the church rectory, or they would be dead. Ada couldn't let Leon know that she was still alive, that would be complicating things a lot more then they already were. She had to concentrate on the mission.
"I'll take the girl." Ada moved out of her hiding spot and took out her Punisher, and edged towards the edge of the gap on her stomach. The battle was about to behin.
Leon"Who are you!" said Leon, holding his arm in front of Ashley defensively. The man in the purple laughed aloud, a dark evil laugh.
"If you must know, my name is Osmund Saddler, the master of this fine religious…community."
"What do you want?" growled Leon.
"To demonstrate our astounding power to the whole world of course. No longer will the United States think that they can police the world forever. So, we kidnapped the President's daughter to give her our power…and then send her back."
Ashley felt her neck.
"Leon, I think they shot something in my neck," she said worriedly.
"What did you do to her?" Leon whispered.
"We just planted her a little gift. Oh, there's going to be one hell
of a party when she returns home to her loving father. But before
that, I thought I might bargain with the President for some...donations.
Believe it or not, it takes quite a lot of money to keep this church up and
running." He laughed.
"Faith and money will lead you nowhere Saddler."
"Oh, and I think I forgot to mention that we gave you the same gift." Leon looked down, thinking of when they could have done it. He remembered suddenly, after he had met Luis he had been knocked unconscious.
"When I was unconscious…" he whispered to himself.
"Oh, I truly hope you like our small, but special contributions.
When the eggs hatch, you'll become my puppets. Involuntarily, you'll do as I
say. I'll have total control over your mind. Don't you think this is
Revolutionary way to propagate one's faith?"
"Sounds more like an alien invasion if you ask me!" spat Leon angrily, wanted to break this guy's neck even more. Suddenly the door opened behind them, and two robed men entered. Leon looked at them, and then looked at Saddler. He smirked.
"Come on!" Leon grabbed Ashley's hand and pulled her as he dashed for the window. Ashley felt as the bolts almost singed her neck.
"Jump!" he yelled. They held their hands in front of their faces as the jumped out the window. Ashley landed on some sand bags and Leon landed on the cold hard concrete. It was still raining, and it was very cold. Leon wished he still had his jacket.
"You ok?" asked Leon as he got to his knees. Ashley leaned on one elbow as she looked into his eyes.
"Leon, what's going to happen to us?" she asked fearfully.
"Don't worry. We got into this mess, we can get out of it." Ashley managed a smile, and then Leon looked around. They seemed to be in some kind of storage shed without a roof. Leon held his handgun and then pushed through the door.
Ada"Mi señor, el agente americano está en ninguna parte ser visto." reported one of the robed men to Sadder who was soaked from the rain. He had stuck his head out of the window and Leon hadn't been found. Ada knew Spanish, she had to learn it for the mission. It was something about the American Agent not being found. She didn't know the exact translation.
"No se preocupe a defensor. Mendez conseguirá librado de él. Él tendrá que conseguir más allá de él conseguir al Castillo," replied Saddler in rapid Spanish. Ada understood. He said something about Mendez taking care of him.
"Oh shit…" she whispered. Mendez was the village chief. Leon would need some help. She listened in some more.
"Voy a comenzar a dirigir al castillo mismo para ver Salazar. Cerciórese de que el Ganados esté en el listo matar al Americano," said Saddler. Ada didn't understand this one. She only understood "ritual", "castle," and "Salazar". It was probably a name. The black robed Ganada bowed and then disappeared behind the alter. Saddler turned, and looked directly at Ada.
"Get out of here!" he yelled. The claw lashed out at her. She rolled out of the way as it wrecked the barrels.
"Blockhead." Ada turned and dived through the huge stained glass. Saddler roared in anger- it had been a stained glass design of him. Ada smirked as the rain began to pour on her dress, and then she began to sprint down the road. The real battle was about to begin.
