Chapter 6 – Into the Deadly Church we go

So many things happening in the church and Saddler getting the girls back doesn't sound good at all… For Leon, Ashley, Sarah, and Bruno move forward inside the church knowing the danger that lies ahead to be careful of, after buying and selling things from the Merchant as Bruno kills a very deadly snake to protect the others they continue. Entering in the other room outside of what looks like an old church that was like in the ruins and for Sarah to tell the others to stay still for lots of other Ganados infected of the Plagas were around chanting by the sound of it meaning these ones are different allowing Leon to taking out his riffle.

"Let me guess, Sarah, there's a lot?"

"I remember… They wore red and black type of hoods meaning they worship this thing and work for Saddler very well. Let's be on our guard, Leon."

Ashley stays close to Bruno and he stands his ground for her in front.

"Leon, we'll hide next to this box to make a clear shot."

"Good idea."

Leon got ready to aim at the black and red hooded men for Sarah to point out to him carefully at a time and shooting them down to the head one by one, a clear shot. Moving on they see more up top with a wooden handmade bow that shoots out fire for one wearing a goat-like skull as a mask orders them to fire. Those fireballs looked very deadly to get through from walking pass it.

"We'll go on the shots they fire again at a time."

Leon leads the others the way for getting to the corner, passing by to the other side of the place, all the way downstairs, and near the good spot to make one bomb blow up at them up top. For Leon to do the rest for one bomb to make it across almost hurting them but got to Sarah a little to put the fire off her.

"Ow!"

"Sarah!"

Sarah puts the fire out quickly for only her leg got burned for Leon to carry her up and shoots the rest to burn up in time. As well as shooting one wearing a skull mask, Leon makes sure if Sarah was alright like Bruno was licking her wounds away for he knew that she gotten hurt.

"Will she be alright, Leon?"

"Sarah? Does it hurt?"

"I can still walk…"

Leon heals Sarah wound up from the plants into a cream quickly that also cures burn marks too.

"Glad you are. Don't get hurt on me anymore, I'm running out of bandages here."

Leon made a joke for Sarah to laugh at for she'll be fine and Ashley knows those two make a very cute couple.

"What is it, Ashley?"

"He likes you…"

Sarah acts embarrasses about it.

"What…? You think so too?"

"Think what you like, I know. Bruno knows already."

Bruno looks at Sarah smiling and barks for her to pat him.

"Well, I did say I find him cute."

"And he says you're beautiful to him."

"You're right."

Leon takes out one man and use the shed to bomb up the others on the other side and Sarah took out the next from the back with a perfect shot from a distance. Leaving to the other side see more shooting at them, Sarah sees a lever for an old cannon should be working still so she pulls it until it comes up.

"Leon! This thing still works! Let's use it against them!"

"Alright then."

Leon takes aim and fires at them and one more at the gate for them to getting through.

"Quick thinking thee, Sarah."

"Thanks."

"Follow me, you guys."

Everything was good now to get inside the other room of the church for the four for Leon to get another call from Ingrid herself to answer and report.

"I hope its good news."

"Me too."

Both Sarah and Leon hope so.

"Leon, what's your current location?"

"We decided to lay low in a castle, but it looks like it was a bad move."

"Meaning?"

"Well it appears that this castles also connected with the Los Illuminados. They must not get many visitors because they're giving me one hell of a welcome."

"Sounds bad. I have an idea, Leon. I need you to—!"

It looked and sounded like Leon was losing Ingrid.

"What? Repeat, Hunnigan."

Everything goes silence for Leon to lose Ingrid, Saddler and the others must be on to them.

"Great. Just my luck."

Sarah starts to worry again for Leon to cheer her up.

"Look, there's no way a cut off will stop us. She'll call us back, Sarah; we'll just keep low in here."

"Yes. We will get out of here alive like you said, get cured, and find my brother."

Leon pats Sarah on her head gently.

"That a girl."

The deeper the four went inside the church, the crazier it gets even more. They see a sword on the wall, looked very rare for Bruno to smell something very weird about it for Sarah to get it off and carry it with her.

"Bruno and I can tell it looks very important to use."

"Might come in handy I hope."

Ashley had a point there for the Platinum Sword to be useful like the false eye did from earlier. Heading up stairs next after gunning down men Ganados in hoods coming down for Leon and Sarah to deal with along with Bruno fighting too for Ashley's safety with his claws and fangs, leaving Leon to do a back flip on the two guys to the ground hard. More were coming for Leon was out of bullets.

"Damn it. Perfect timing to run out."

"Leon! Catch!"

Sarah shoots one just enough to throwing Leon a reload.

"Thanks!"

After the two took the rest down from guns and stabbing with a knife, Leon, Sarah, Ashley, and Bruno kept on going upstairs in one small room to see another sword that was made of gold for Sarah and Bruno know they needed it too with the other they got.

"How many keys and doors are there?"

For Sarah to ask that was good as anyone else to know better. More hooded Ganado come running upstairs with lots of deadly weapons 'like maces' for Leon to burn them away with a flare grenade in time killing some and the rest Leon and Sarah to shoot down together as a team, for putting one sword in to o the other back downstairs to match after fighting their way through and some infected by the Plagas to take over no doubt about it. The swords were used to open a hidden door behind the walls for them to go outside. Sarah tells Bruno to keep on going for them to follow.

"Lead us the way, Bruno."

He barks for him to go first and Ashley to stay behind both Leon and Sarah heavily armed. But Bruno stops for a moment to make sure the person coming up to the others was friendly, for it was and got back to staying calmed again. It was Luis, must of came to tell Leon something important about finding a cure for him, Ashley, and Sarah.

"Leon!"

"It's Luis!"

They turn around to see Luis.

"Luis."

"I've got something for you guys."

Luis tries finding it in his pocket, but it seemed the item he had for the three of them is gone.

"Uh... What?! Oh, shit! I must have dropped it when I was running away from them."

"Dropped what?"

Sarah took a big guess on what it was.

"It's an anti-serum for us, isn't it? And you lost it."

Luis was surprise for Sarah to guess that so well.

"How did she…?"

Leon dropped the subject for now to get back to the real point.

"It's a long story that has to wait. Anyway, is it true what Sarah said?"

"Yes, she's right. It's a drug that'll stop your convulsions. Look, I know you are carriers. You've been coughing up blood, right?"

"Yeah."

Leon answers for Luis to ask Sarah and Ashley about it next.

"And you two?"

"Yes."

"I have too, I feels like stab to the chest."

Sarah covers her body with her arms like she was shielding herself being scared and all for Leon to feel bad for her.

"Sarah…"

"Damn it! The eggs have hatched. We don't have much time."

Leon was confused.

"What are you talking about?"

"I have to go back and get it."

Luis turns away to leave to get that thing back in time for Ashley wanted to help him out.

"Let me come with you."

Luis stops her in time before she could follow him.

"No, you stay here with Leon. He is better with the ladies. I'm sure. Sarah, wasn't it? You have a gift different from the rest of us, so use it well. It can save their lives and 'hers'."

When Luis said that to Sarah, she knew she felt the blood belonging to Ada around the area they were, meaning she was alive.

"So, she is alive… Luis meant with her, Ada Wong."

Sarah keeping to herself now wanting to see to believe if Luis was telling her the truth about it, Leon demanded to know why Luis was doing this for them without any questions asked.

"Why are you-?"

Luis cuts him off from talking to say something instead.

"It makes me feel better. Let's just leave it at that."

Luis leaves to give his out in the air, the four continue their search too like he was.

"What was that all about?"

Sarah answers to Ashley.

"He's going all this trouble to save us, I'm sure of it."

Bruno barks for he agrees on Sarah's point of view.

"I hope he'll be alright."

"We'll find another way around and meet back. Let's get going, you two."

The girls say it together.

"Right."

Checking out the other areas of the place for Leon, Sarah, and Bruno to fight off the Ganados worshippers out of their way and for Ashley to stay very close to them also blowing up a barrel to kill the rest with one shot. More Plagas kept on popping out of their heads looking much longer, deadlier, and different color all over, like a demon or something mix with an alien. Stopping the other with wooden shields and some shooting fire arrows from above they could beat against Leon's riffle to the head and dead for sure. Bruno comes across something by scratching a treasure box with the main castle key inside for him to hand to Leon to use.

"Good boy, Bruno. We can get in."

Ashley hugs Bruno to love the attention.

"He's such a god boy. Yes, he is."

"I'm glad he's on our side."

Going all the way back to see the main gate for Leon to use the key and open it up, leaving Bruno to jump to the other side where he can get around the other way and looks at them before heading out alone once again.

"Bruno? Don't leave."

Sarah tells Ashley that Bruno's brave by himself.

"He'll be fine, Ashley. Bruno wants to clear a path for us and making sure Luis finds what he's looking for."

"Really?"

"I agree with Sarah, he'll come back to us later. It's for the best so he won't get hurt, we'll take him out of this place too."

Bruno howls telling them all good luck and goes on inside the next area around first for Leon, Ashley, and Sarah to go through the door.

"See you later, Bruno!"

Leon and Sarah lock and loaded for anything that stands before them again.

"Sarah, be on your guard."

"And try not to get hurt? Got it."

With the two ready and Ashley standing close to them, they enter in. It was a huge hallway of a real-life church being so different in this place to have everything else; the three soon hear an odd laugh somewhere in the room that didn't sound friendly at all. From up top they see two Verdugos bodyguards having scary faces and wore darker red to black robes and standing from one side to another for entering in the middle wasn't a kid, an adult who looks old name Ramon Salazar of the Castellan family from way back. He looks like an elf more than a human, sort of… His skin was pink like an old man was, with pointed ears, white hair 'when he was young Ramon had brown hair', wore a blue uniform of a solider like Napoleon all blue from the hat, jacket, wore a gold- like shirt underneath it, a white scarf in the front, black tights, with long white soaks, and black shoes made from the olden times with buckles on it. Sarah can sense more Plagas in them including Salazar to be Saddler's right hand man than Mendez was.

"I was starting to wonder when you might notice us."

Leon could tell from looking at Sarah that Ramon was trouble alright.

"Who are you?"

"Me llamo Ramon Salazar, the eighth Castellan of this magnificent architecture. I have been honored with the prodigious power from the great Lord Saddler. I've been expecting you, my brethrens."

"No thanks, bros."

Ashley was about to say something about Ramon, but Sarah knows what and stops her quietly in time.

"Ashley, don't be fooled by his appears. He's very old and dangerous as he may come to be."

"Sorry…"

Ramon speaks again on what he demands to have for Saddler.

"My, my, we've got a feisty one. If you care for your own well-being, I suggest you surrender yourself and simply...become our hostage. Or, Mr. Scott, you can give us the girl, since you're not worth a penny, I'm afraid. You can die."

Ramon turns around again to say another thing to them with an evil smile on his face.

"Oh, yes… Mr. Scott, Lord Saddler wants his lovely mistress back and wants your filthy hands off her. She does belong to him as our chosen one, very important keep her unharmed and only her. Anyone else to coming near her pretty head…"

Ramon made a sound and uses his finger on his neck, meaning he'll cut or kill anyone else standing in their way. Ouch!

"No!"

Though Sarah yells stops the Verdugos from moving a muscle, Ramon frees them to obey him only, but liked her powers very well.

"Nope, nope, Mistress. We must have you back to Lord Saddler's arms right away please."

Sarah looked scared but Leon pulls her next to him to shield her from Ramon and his goons defending her the most and Ashley too as she stands up too for herself.

"I'm never turning into one of them! Never!"

Leon agrees and looks at Sarah for she was not alone nor never again.

"You got that right. Don't we'll find a cure, and I'll make sure you never find yourself in Saddler's hands again, Sarah. I got you."

Leon then puts his hand on Sarah's shoulder for she trusts him and Ashley on this to getting cured and getting out alive together.

"Oh, Leon."

Sarah hugs Leon and Ashley joins in to hugging her new friend and looking scared the most than her. Looks like the three must beware of Ramon this time for the room block the door to go into from a wall statue they must solve of a puzzle in a shape that'll match for Sarah senses them out to help Leon and Ashley to join in.

"There are some in this room. Let's find them and not leave."

"Okay, Ashley let's fine them."

"Lead the way then."

The three search all over, other than finding a hidden key hiding in a portrait of Ramon to use for later they continue searching the rest of the rooms for the puzzles.

"Don't worry, you two. I'll find a way out of here."

"Good to know that we're in this as a team."

Both Leon and Sarah smile at each other for they can do anything they set their minds to. They come across with a note on the table saying something about finding Luis and capturing him to keeping the cure to themselves for they know he's somewhere in the castle where Bruno is making sure he's alright from any danger; trying not to give Leon, Ashley, and Sarah the cures not like he'll give up too easily from the likes of them, so he must hurry and they hope to see him again with it in time before they hatch inside. I hope he's doing well alone like they were…

Nothing in the other hidden photo on the wall's safe, but something worth it downstairs basement for Leon to use a gem to unlocking it to go down and see being a torment room from long ago. There in one of the cells they see a man in armor, all chained up, with his eyes sewed shut, and in pain, I think he isn't too friendly to be around with Ashley freaking out.

"Ah!"

Ashley hides behind Sarah to protect her friend.

"Leon, he's angry and he's in pain."

Leon tries to go in the cell only to be a trap, for the man had sharp long claws on his hands to be his weapons to kill for Ashley hide somewhere for Leon and Sarah to stopping the man.

"I guess he's not in pain anymore!"

"And not friendly at all!"

Is eyes turning red to breaking down of the wall, runs fast, and strike to getting his claw stuck in the box for Sarah to shoot the Plaga attach on his back for Leon to shoot it down some more. For he was blind but his hearing was powerful for Sarah to shot at a bell to turn around for Leon to finish it off, killing it in time for good it had some Plagas' blood spilling out and grossing out Sarah.

"Ew!"

Sarah tries to get the blood-like off her with Leon's help.

"It's nothing, that's good."

"Yeah, but t was still gross."

Leon and Sarah see a lever inside the cell to go over and pull it down, what happens next? The four horses blocking the path in getting into another door was turn off for it had firing coming out, but not anymore for the three to keep on moving 'after Ashley comes out from hiding'. Sarah could sense her friend was worried about something and was hiding it. Not good… They stop the other Ganados by shooting down a lamp for them to be on fire and another to shoot at the dynamite in his hands with the others behind the man. The rest Sarah shoots and Leon uses his raffle in clean shots to the head or blowing up again, for Sarah tries to talk t Ashley to see if she was alright.

"Ah, Ashley? Is everything okay?"

Sarah touches Ashley arm to see sadness and pain for her to guess what Sarah was about to say to her anyways.

"Oh… I see. Well, I just want to say you're not alone here. I'm here for you and so is Leon."

"Thanks, I guess… Not that I'm mad at anyone or anything…"

"No, I get it really."

Soon entering in a room with nice fountains and more Ganados in hoods around for Leon to shoot their heads off one by one as well as Sarah blowing the rest away coming up with weapons or with shields with a hand grenade in seconds.

"Don't these losers ever learn!?"

Leon shoots one more dead after surviving the blast.

"Afraid they don't."

Leon got some more to set on fire and Sarah kicks one to the face to shoot him down. The last few to blow up and cut down even lots of Plagas and after that that leaves the three to move on ahead, going into the next room they see two platforms made of yellow for weight must be done to opening it, as Ashley stand on one side and Leon did the same for something to appear back outside to use and fighting off more Ganados to getting there.

Sarah wanted to turn the lever as fast as she could do making an extra set of stairs to walk on and fighting off more Ganados to getting up and carrying scythes this time!

"Okay now they're being insane!"

"Worse than horror movies?"

"If only this wasn't real right now then yes."

Ashley agreed with Sarah on that too.

"I rather be watching a horror movie back at home thank you very much!"

Ashley hides near a wall for Sarah and Leon 'with a powerful shot gun' to blowing them all away at a time. Making their way up to see more fancy fountains with water shooting out of them and torches lid up on each side looked nice to look at… On the other floor of the room, Ashley sees another crane to be used and points it out to Leon and Sarah to see it.

"Look! There's a crane over there!"

They see it for Ashley will use it while Sarah and Leon guard her from afar, looks like she wanted to help a bit on what she can do. Sarah gives her a boost up.

"Ashley, run up for me to lift you up top with my hands to boost you. Come on!"

"Got it!"

Ashley runs up for Sarah to grab on to her foot and the other to push all the way up for her to do the rest.

"You guys watch out for me!"

"We both got your back, Ashley, you do your part and we'll do ours."

Tayla: She's much better than Navi's nagging from Zelda 64, huh? Good game still and a classic. :D

With Ashley running to make her way to the crane to use, more Ganados were coming by for Leon to shoot them down and Sarah too on her end making a path so Ashley won't get killed. Sarah was doing fine on her end leaving Leon to blowing the guys away with his shotgun from a raffle instead that were closes to him.

"Leon, I got this! Take care of the rest coming at us!"

Leon was doing well for one Ganados comes up to take Ashley away.

"No!"

Sarah shoot him down in time for her friend to use another crane on the far right and fast for Leon liked Sarah's own shooting skills.

"Sarah! Nice saved!"

"Thank you, Leon!"

Sarah kept on doing the same thing, Leon shoots away on his end, and Ashley kept on turning the lever without stopping. After that the paths to the other side to jump across was made for Leon catches Ashley to come back down and all clear to walk over there.

"Sarah, you're so cool. Saving me and blowing them away. I wish I was like you."

"Sometimes I wish I knew more about how I do things so well."

"I know. But again, thank you and you too, Leon."

"Come on. Let's make it across."

They jump on one floor and the next to getting to the other door and in a very strange room of the church filled with candles, statues hanging up top, chandeliers, and many rooms to go in. Both Leon and Sarah bought and sell other things to the Merchant as tells them another thing to beware of from within the church and Ramon too.

"Let me guess, another warning to say?"

Merchant laughs liking the people he gets his money from besides Ada.

"Good eye, stranger. As a matter of fact, I do… Keep the lovely ladies safe from danger. There are others like them filling in pain of forceful torments in one hidden room, a friend staying close before leaving this world of a messenger to your woman here."

Merchants points out to Sarah for he knows what Sarah has for some reason to sense out some of the missing women still alive somewhere any maybe Betty as well.

"You don't mean…? Betty? It can't be…"

Leon stays by Sarah's side.

"Sarah?"

"Leon… Ashley… Betty, I feel she is gone but barely. I'm so confused."

Leon points his gun out a Merchant demanding some answer from him.

"Start talking! Where are the other girls!?"

Merchant tells Leon to calm down.

"Take it easy, stranger, there are nearby… But you better hurry before more danger will soon be born by them in the sickening way you'll never forget. The rest you must do on your own, I bid you farewell until next time and next business. Come back anytime."

Leon takes Sarah away from Merchant for now, on their side but it gets to Leon on who he really was in knowing so much.

"He's a strange person.

"Do you believe what he said to you?"

Sarah holds Leon's hand.

"I'll know what I'll see for myself."

"You're becoming braver than before."

Sarah smiles.

"Thank you, Leon."

The three kept on going for Merchant looks at them until they were further away and hoping they'll be fine on their own. Soon Ashley started coughing badly in the hallways meaning the Plagas in her was kicking in for Sarah to sense out, with blood on her hands.

"Ashley…"

She was scared and Leon tries to see if she was alright knowing all of this was her fault 'or so she thinks it is' but it isn't.

"Are you alright?"

Ashley pushes Leon away and Sarah couldn't go near her either since she didn't want to be to her friends or they'll die like her.

"I'm fine! Leave me alone!"

Ashley runs off from the two to go after her.

"Ashley! Wait!"

Out of nowhere, steel spikes pop out of the ground stopping both Leon and Sarah only to trap Ashley on the other side.

"It's a trap!"

Lots of more spikes pop out trapping Ashley in the corner of the wall and more metal cuff strap her on the wall trapping her.

"Ashley!"

"What's going on!?"

The walls turn from one side to another of the room with Ashley going with it for a plain wall to be left behind now the two must go save her once again.

"Ashley! If you can hear me, we're coming to get you! I promise you that!"

Looks like Leon and Sarah had to find some way to get to the other side to get Ashley out of danger, for Sarah to worry knowing they won't hurt her 'much', Leon tells her to be brave, for she won't lose another friend again.

"Sarah, you're right. We will save her, stay close to me."

"Anything to save Ashley."

Once Leon and Sarah loaded up their guns to get moving, Leon gets an incoming call but for Sarah she didn't warn him fast enough not to answer it in time for it wasn't Ingrid this time.

"Leon! Don't answer that!"

But it was too late, Leon does answer it.

"Hunnigan, what happened? The transmission got cut off."

This time calling Leon was different appears on his radio phone was Ramon. What the hell does he want this time!?

"It's him…"

Tayla: His laugh was annoying.

"Salazar! How'd you...?"

"We've jacked the line. We didn't want you telling everyone any unnecessary information. Sorry about that… Not!"

"Where's Ashley?!"

"Aw... So, she fell into one of our wonderful traps. I thought I can use it on the Mistress instead, but she'll do first. We'll make sure we find her. Don't you worry about her. Oh, yes. I let out miserable insects out for some exercise down in the sewer."

That made Leon made and so did Sarah too.

"Thanks. That should keep me company. Cuz boredom kills me."

"I look forward to our next encounter... In another life. And, Mistress, we'll be there for you real soon."

Once Ramon hangs up, Leon and Sarah go searching for Ashley knowing she'll be fine. Walking around the pathways of the room leading them to a hidden sewer to go into down below that really smelled so bad but for Sarah to withstand it for finding her friend comes first.

"It smells like poop!"

Leon laughs seeing that Sarah hated the smell but stayed strong.

"Not a good spot to be in when someone takes a dump while finding Ashley."

"That would be very bad."

"And gross."

The two laughed while walking around the mess up sewers. Around the corner was something moving for Sarah to sense out being invisible and all, but a few shots from her gun takes it down, it was a bug-like human monster that are really the Verdugo or Verdugos alright, the ones in clothing, their true forms are shown! I so hate bugs… A small gray head with red eyes, a he black mouth of an insect to have with teeth inside, as well as his entire scaly body that look like bones, from ribs showing, long claws on the arms, more longer to the feet as well, and at the tail on the back sticking out with a sword-like stinger to use to cut and stab anyone to death. Looks like things were getting serious around here and Ramon is no laughing matter to mess with.

"Sarah, you have the power to sense things?"

"Yes. I hate it."

"But it helps us so much."

"You really think so?"

Leon smiles back at Sarah.

"I know so."

"I'm glad it helps us out."

Going around the sewers to getting more things and shooting off more of the Verdugos not being Ganados but freaky looking. Going to another room where they see another creature being a big bug for Leon to shoot down known as the Novistador or Novistadors. Again, sick! All gray-like yellow color, can fly with many four wings, many green eyes, tall, scaly, fast, noisy, with long arms, and longer legs like a grasshopper has for they also can turn invisible as well, but thanks to Sarah pointing out leaving Leon to shooting them down. Or cutting them either way…

"I really hate bugs more than the smell."

Leon understands on how Sarah feels a lot.

"I think I rather deal with normal bugs than these things."

Trying to find their way out, Sarah stops sensing that Luis s nearby for Leon to follow her.

"Sarah! Stay close to me!"

He sees her in an empty cell room finding a note left by Luis instead for Sarah to show to Leon.

"Leon, this was left from Luis. I just know it."

"Let me see…"

They both look at it saying 'Luis' Memo'… About the Plagas are being parasites do can control other hosts from within them. Looks like this guy's smart. Being the Los Ganados types as they are and says, soon having shown a list on what types they are little by little.

Plaga A - This is the first form of Plaga Leon will encounter. Their bodies are pulsating masses of flesh and waving tentacles, with the longest tentacle armed with a scythe-like blade that can slash at the player at a decent range. They are the weakest of the Plaga species and can be killed with minimal effort. Type A Plagas are commonly found in Villagers and Militia, and control the weaker Armadura suits.

Plaga B - These Plagas are the second form of Plaga Leon will encounter infesting human hosts. They are often found inside the lower-ranking zealots, and are the second type which control Armaduras. This version of the Plaga can extend its entire body (being the Plaga itself) towards Leon and it will devour his head—being an instant kill. Other than this move, the B-parasite is capable of no other attacks. It is upon high risk that you should ever get close to this Plaga due to its one-hit kill effect; however, it can be killed by knifing although it is highly not advised. Interestingly, this type of Plaga does not destroy the hosts head or body when revealing itself. As like the type A Plagas it can be killed by using a flash grenade.

Plaga C - These Plagas (which somewhat resemble 'Face huggers' from the Alien franchise which I love those movies by the way all four) mostly inhabit the higher-ranking zealots and militia. They are the most durable, can spit acid over some distance and detach themselves from their host following death. They are roughly equal to the A-parasites in terms of threat while attached, and are relatively weak when detached. While detached, they have a leaping grapple which lacks an animation for attacking from the side or rear, much like the Colmillos, meaning they can only use it when directly in front of Leon. Curiously, several are encountered in the game without hosts at all as in the case of the battle with Salazar. When without a host, a C-parasite will eventually die even if it has taken no damage from the player whatsoever. As they can't climb ladders, simply moving outside their immediate area is an effective way to kill them.

Tayla: One more thing…

Alternate Plaga Manifestations:

Leech-like Plaga - When multiple Plagas are inserted into human hosts, they cause the host to undergo drastic physical mutations and become more leech-like in appearance. They can regenerate the host's body (Regenerators).

Looks like Luis's notes came in handy for them after all for Leon and Sarah to learn about meaning it'll be a while for them to turn but there's still time left, enough of it to be cured. They keep on going for Sarah sense out another bug creature in time to shoot to the head saving Leon's life.

"Thanks again, Sarah. You know with your skill, you make a great cop."

"Thanks… Maybe I would like to do that and get stronger."

That made Sarah happy for Leon and her to enter in a room to pull the lever to turn making the water fills up inside the place. Getting somewhere now while shooting down more bugs and monster-like ones out of their way, Leon kicks one of them down hard; it looks like finding Ashley wherever she was won't be so easy for Leon and Sarah don't give up in losing someone and part of Leon's job to protecting her and returning her back home. To one gate Leon kicks down the door form them to go into, Leon found himself an awesome rocket launcher to use for later. Getting out of the sewer room and to the church they carefully watch the timings to getting across the other side through the of huge axes swing around the room back and forth so they did fine without getting cut in half.

They finally got inside the door to the next room Sarah senses more Ganados hooded ones were chanting meaning she and Leon will find Ashley somewhere in there and fighting back against Ramon and Saddler to getting cured in time.

"Ready, Sarah?"

"Let's go fine Ashley and a cure."

The two enter in the room together. In the gallery, the Ganados gather and chanted with pinky flames sticking out and a statue covered in real blood on a stable. Seeing from up top Leon fires a heavy rocket launcher at them and killing them all with one shot, the two kept on going all over the room and using a lever to open the gates allowing them to go they headed to another room looking like a nice living room at homes for Leon and Sarah to come across more notes to read.

"Another note, huh? Worth looking at."

"I just hope whatever it says; it'll get us to somewhere."

"Anything's possible."

What was on it? Can Leon and Sarah find Ashley in time before Ramon and his goons do? What are Ada, Luis, and Bruno doing on their own? And what is Merchant, who is he really? More to tell in the next one for this church is mess up inside and the out, who knows the dangers and beings coming and going all over to beware of. Its crazy I tell you, but I love it. ^_^
