Plague of Darkness

By Dear Aden

Leon

Above them shined a giant metal object, almost looking like a beehive. Leon fell to the ground, regaining his breath. Blood was all over his shirt. Ashley had been cut by one of the parasite monster that exploded from a monk's head, and her leg was bleed because she had fallen on a broken vase. But, they were still alive.

After a few moments, Leon stood up again and tried to wipe off the blood from his shirt. No luck, it only made it worse. He helped Ashley up, and then they began to walk off in the direction of a hallway. Leon had scanned the room previously, and there didn't seem to be any other way out. They both made their ways to the hallway, when suddenly Ashley began to cough violently.

"Ashley, you okay?" asked Leon, reaching out for her. She pushed him away and began to run.

"I'm fine, just leave me alone!" She ran ahead. Leon ran after but stopped when suddenly a barricade rose in between them like lightning.

"Ashley, run!" pushed Leon. She began to sprint to the end of the hallway, and more barricades rose, missing her by inches. She reached the back wall and leaned on it, trying to stay as far back as possible. Suddenly, three restrains came out of the wall and locked her to the wall.

"LEON!" she screamed. The wall began to rumble, kicking up dust. Then the wall turned, and Ashley was gone.

"Don't worry Ashley, I'm coming for ya!"

Ada

She watched Leon from above. He swore angrily and kicked the bars. Poor Leon, she thought. He pulled out his shotgun and made his way into the Sewers. After the door had closed, she jumped down onto the ground and then began to make her way to the barricades. She took out her gun and shot a vase on the side. A moved the broken pieces out of the way, revealing a switch. She pressed it and the barricade went down. She walked over slowly and reached down and picked up Ashley's necklace that she had dropped.

Ada put it in her pocket and then walked over to a painting beside the wall where Ashley had been. She took out her knife and cut through it. There was a small passage behind it. She climbed through, sure that it would lead her to where Ashley was being held.

She arrived on the other side of the passage and then she jumped out. Sure enough, Ashley was on trapped against the wall, but surrounded by Monks. Ada pulled out her weapon and shot two of them in the back of their heads. The rest of them turned, one shooting a fiery bolt at her. She ducked as the bolt smacked the vase behind her. She holstered her gun and withdrew her knife. She punched the red-robed monk and stuck her knife through his mouth. Blood poured out everywhere. She snatched the knife back and then slashed the knees of another monk, and then back kicked the one behind her.

She withdrew her gun and then fired three shots into the head of the red-robed monk. He fell to the ground dead. No parasite monster. The final one had been killed. Ada turned to look Ashley in the eyes, and Ashley's eyes were trained on Ada, not daring to blink.

"My name is Ada Wong… I'm not here to hurt you Ashley. I'm here to warn you." Ashley didn't say anything, but Ada could tell she was listening discreetly. "There is a man named Jack Krauser who may kill Leon. Krauser is working for Lord Saddler, the leader of this place. Find me after Leon comes and sets you free. I'll be near here… Now I have to go find Leon." With that, Ada pulled out her grapple gun, and shot up to the second landing.

Leon

Leon's boots were soaked, and sopping wet with muddy sewage water. He trudged through, trying to find some hopes of draining the water that blocked his exit. He almost tried to call Hunnigan to get her to send him the blue prints, but then he realize Saddler was blocking his communications. Suddenly he stopped. He could hear brother somewhere behind him. He turned, and saw a hole in the ceiling that was letting moonlight through. Suddenly, he saw some sort of insect crawl from the whole and land. It seemed to look at him, as Leon could not see any eyes on the monster. Then, it ran towards him. As it left the moonlight, it became invisible.

Leon jumped to the side and fired two rounds from his shotgun. He heard an inhuman scream as the shots found their target. For a moment, it reappeared. It clawed at its face, and then turned towards him. Leon pulled out his TMP, with his shotgun in the other hand, and began to fire the TMP. The small projectiles stung the beast, temporarily stunning it. Leon holstered the TMP once more and took out his knife. He ran towards the insect as it began to run towards Leon. He dived for it, and drew his knife. As they crossed, Leon stabbed the knife into the creature's neck. He fell into a roll and withdrew his handgun.

The creature writhed and screamed, and then fell into the pool of sewage that blocked Leon's path. Reddish green blood began to ooze from the creature's corpse, filled with innards. Leon fought the urge to gag. He surveyed the area and found a path. He quickly entered the small hallway. There were bars all over the place. He realized that this must have been the dungeon of the castle. There were cells. He could see torture equipment inside of them, with beds for the prisoners to sleep on, and much more.

He wondered how long this castle had been here. Once he moved to the end of the hall, he went into this small alcove. Inside it was a pumping station. He pulled the lever, and then the water that blocked the exit began to drain. Suddenly, behind him, he heard the same sound the creature had made. Leon ejected the clip in his pistol, and loaded in a fresh one. He ran out, and gave them hell.

Wesker

The hum of the Mercedes calmed him to an extent. He eyed the silenced nine millimeter that lay in the passenger seat hungrily. Albert Wesker was about to finish the man who had condemned him into hiding. If Wesker had killed Chris Redfield, then the situation with the Umbrella Corporation would be an entirely different story. Wesker would own a nice mansion on Miami Beach in Florida, and he would be living in the life of luxury.

Wesker slowed down to let two women pass. They were running. Wesker watched them as the crossed the road. He lightly pressed the gas and began to drive once more. Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. He unclipped it from his belt and shot a look at it. It was an unknown number.

"Hello."

"Wesker, this is Krauser. Ada is out of control. The American agent, Leon, is still alive. She is protecting him. Let me take care of him Albert, we need to- "

"Krauser, I have told Ada to watch the rookie cop, in hopes that he will make things easier for all of us. I would highly suggest you back of for now, and go in for the kill when I tell you," he lied smoothly.

"I've sent you field data for the Plaga. Have you not received it yet?" Wesker swore under his breath. He slowed the car down to a stop.

"No, I've left the lab."

"Well get back, you need to analyze the results, and believe me, what I found out, you will not regret." Wesker swore and closed the phone. He threw it into the seat beside him, and spun the car around. He geared into first and then shot off into the night. Redfield would have to wait.
