No More Running…

Leon/Claire fic.

It's time to stop running…and start loving.

A black sedan rolled up next to the garage and Jack Krauser got out. Three men dressed in fatigues got out as well, he approached the mission commander. "Report." "We just lost ten men….to the main target." Krauser growled in his throat. "Leon." Krauser ripped off his shirt and flexed his left arm, he groaned as his arm transformed into its sword form. The mission commander's eyes widened at this but the three men in fatigues didn't bat an eye.

The three men stood in a line; the man on the far left, both of his arms grew into swords like Krasuer's. The man in the middle turned invisible like a Novistador. And the last man's skin toughened up. Krauser jerked his head towards the house, the three men nodded and ran towards the house. Meanwhile, Leon dropped the empty box of ammo and started working on a new one when a window in the back exploded inwards. Claire reacting on instinct fired at the open window.

Bullets struck the windowsill but she hit nothing, Leon could hear footsteps but he saw nothing. Leon got up and started looking around when something collided with his back, he spun around and brought up his gun but nothing was there. He started to say something to Claire when an invisible force cracked her in the jaw. Leon swung his gun to strike the person but hit nothing but air, the force swung again and struck Leon in the stomach.

Leon doubled over and groaned when the man hit Leon over the head, Claire drew her knife and tried to stab the invisible man but he grabbed her arm and flipped her onto her back, driving the air from her lungs. Leon tried to tackle him but he must have dodged him and struck him in the back again, Leon dropped next to Claire. Leon managed to get to his feet and grabbed Claire's hand then dragged her upstairs.

The invisible man slowly followed them, he got upstairs just in time to see Leon's bedroom door shut. He slowly opened the door and went over to the armory door, he smirked to himself as he twisted the knob and opened the door. The following three things happened next: 1. the man's grin turned into a look of horror. 2. He saw the scope of Leon's thermal goggles. And 3. The last thing he saw were the two barrels of a double-barreled side-by-side shotgun.

Outside, Krauser saw the bedroom windows clearly, the windows were completely dark then there was a flash of white then darkness. There was a tense silence when suddenly a body came flying off the roof and landed infront of them, it was the soldier that could turn invisible. He had a hole in his chest the size of a basketball. Krauser growled again but this time it was a little louder. Leon came out of the armory followed by Claire, Leon was about to exit the bedroom when an arm grabbed Leon by the front of the shirt and threw him down the stairs.

Claire was about to bring her gun when the same arm punched her in the stomach. She fell back into the bedroom as the tough skinned soldier went down stairs, Leon forced himself to stand only to see the soldier throw him across the room. Leon groaned as he bounced across the floor coming to a rest against a wall, the soldier hauled him up to his feet. Leon shoved his fist into the man's stomach but to no effect. He punched him in the jaw, still nothing, Leon drew his knife and shoved it into the man's chest.

The result was the knife breaking in half. The man looked down at his chest then back up at Leon who shoulders just sagged. "Couldn't hurt to try right?" The man smirked before grabbing Leon by the collar. Leon sailed thru the air before landing ontop of the breakfast nook, he slid across the smooth surface and off the table. Leon dragged himself to his feet and braced himself against the counter.

The tough skinned soldier slowly approached Leon, he was confidant he could kill him but he still was cautious. Leon looked around the kitchen for a weapon, anything he could use. Leon picked up a butcher's knife but discarded it while remembering what he did to the combat knife, Leon grabbed a frying pan off the stove and swung it over his head. The armor skinned soldier smirked and stalked forward, he was definitely sure he could kill Leon.

Leon swung the pan and smashed the soldier in the jaw, the soldier's head jerked back but he shook it off. Leon swung again and again but to no affect. Leon dropped the pan and prepared himself as the soldier threw him across the kitchen, Leon groaned as his hip hit the counter. The soldier grabbed Leon by the back of his neck and was about to strike when Leon spun around and raised something over his head, the soldier looked up in time to see what it was: a microwave.

Leon slammed it down on the soldier's head, the glass shattering and the soldier's head got stuck. Leon grabbed the cord and plugged it in, he punched in a series of numbers and waited. The microwave activated and the soldier screamed as his head was cooked, he spun around and slumped against the counter. He too was dead. Leon couldn't help it but it came out anyway. "Nobody and I mean nobody beats me in the kitchen."

Claire came down after a few minutes, she went over to one of the windows in the front of the house. She turned back to Leon who stood beside her. "I can see two guys out by the garage. One of them is that guy from the supermarket. That friend of yours." Leon groaned and straightened up. "He's not my friend. Not anymore." He looked at the dead bodies on the ground. "Take their weapons and ammo. Put them up in the armory then bring me a machete."

Claire nodded and went about her task, after taking several trips up to the armory she brought a huge machete for Leon. Leon accepted the large blade from her and went into the kitchen. She could hear hacking sounds inside but she didn't want to look, she heard his voice call out. "Claire. Look away." She did as he asked and looked towards the stairs. She could feel him walk behind her and out the front door.

Leon walked towards Krauser, the bloody machete in one hand and the tough skinned soldier's head in his other. The mission commander looked like he was going to throw up. Krauser just straightened up and looked Leon dead in the eye. Leon held up the head at arm's length. "Got anymore Krauser?" "Just one." He motioned for the last soldier to go forward.

The soldier nodded and ran forward, both arms raised. Leon dropped the head and brought the machete up in a defensive move, the blades struck each other. Leon ducked under the arms and into the man's personal space and shoved the blade completely thru his body. The twin blade man groaned, blood trickled down his lips before Leon let him go. The dead body dropped to the ground face first causing the blade to go even further into his body.

Leon straightened up. "Three down, one to go Krauser." Krauser chuckled. "Sorry Leon. You won't be fighting me today." And with that he turned around to face the garage. Leon watched as a man stepped out, he dressed in expensive looking Armani suit and black sunglasses. "Leon Kennedy. We meet at last. As you no doubt have guessed: I'm Albert Wesker."

Next chapter: Leon takes on both Krauser and Wesker! Will he surivive?
