Chapter 10 – A Mother's Reasoning's
It looked dark out on the island of Saddler's secret hideout right now. With him and Jack 'along with the Ganados, Plagas, Verdugos, Novistadors, Gigantes, and infected Wolves' left to be stopped by Leon and Sarah make their way across the rocky path in finding Ashley from inside the place they were going to. For Leon, must protect her and Sarah 'his woman' too from danger as well as finding a cure in time thanks to Ada's help as well as telling Sarah about her missing Mother's whereabouts for she was in danger. She wanted to find her to ask her some question, but will she be like her Father was to her? With Bruno still missing and Merchant still following the two, it'll be a bit for them to get where they needed to be, for Sarah to sense Ashley out in time.
Tayla: Hell, I'm still wanted to know who Merchant is… And where can Sarah's long lost brother be at?
With Ada still doing her job to getting Leon to Jack for later and her getting the sample that Luis left behind that Saddler has, she tries her best and hoping both Leon and Sarah will be alright. That Saddler guy really wants Sarah that badly, not after that freak did to her; he's a bigger monster than any Plagas out there. Looks like Sarah senses Ashley nearby from a view to seeing a factory with fire lid up, to getting their they must go through the caves.
"Leon, she's there."
Sarah points out for Leon to see and for her to be shaken up again.
"Sarah?"
"I don't want Saddler to take me away."
"He won't. He has to go through me first."
"Damn it. I promise to be brave but not from a madman like him… I have to try harder."
Leon comes up to Sarah hugging her and talks softly for his woman that she's not alone in this.
"It's okay; you don't have to face him if you don't want to. I will."
"Leon?"
The two kiss repeatedly.
"Sarah, no matter what I'm always going to be with you…"
Leon leaves a kissing mark on Sarah's neck.
"You kiss my neck."
"That kiss mark will prove that our love is strong for me to have only you and no one else. I love you, Sarah, you and I will become partners and training you a lot more to learn."
Sarah loves the idea no matter what from the mark and the butterfly knife Leon gave to her.
"Yes, thank you Leon."
"You're welcome. Come on, let's find Ashley."
With that settle, Leon and Sarah headed inside the caves. From walking in the parts of it being all wet with some water on the ground and leaving back outside of it and across a small bridge the two suddenly hear Ashley's voice calling out to them.
"Help me, Leon!"
They hear her meaning she was still Ashley Graham.
"Ashley!"
They see an area being like a guarded place with lots of search lights on and seeing Ashley being carried inside the place being Jack himself wearing an army's outfit.
"Leon, she's being taken away inside."
Leon shoots out one of the lights to being taken care of, for some reason to him seeing that uniform reminded him of someone else having that like he did a while back, but where…?
"Are you alright, Leon? We should follow where they're taking Ashley."
"Yeah, stay close to me."
"You got it."
The two jumped across to walk to the place to getting in and then a black African American comes jumping out, saying weird things, and shooting with a heavy looking machine gun all over the place, infected Plaga guy. Leon and Sarah must take him out first. Looking bold, with a scar on his face, red hat, looked muscular, a purple tank top, green jeans, an eye patch black boots, and straps all over the bullets shooting like crazy; Leon takes some shots with his rifle to the head until he dropped dead and then Sarah took out the other Ganados too. By doing so allow them to go walk on the stairs to use a laser-like pointer to shine on a mirror from afar, meaning it had to be a key to unlocking the door.
"Leon, we have to keep doing that to getting in!"
Leon and Sarah race up top of a shelter to rotate the mirror on another one to hit. From the second to the third to hitting the orange circle on the wall, allow the door to open in fighting with more Ganados on their way to that door, they were all set in going inside the place. By the way, some of the people looked like men in a war of the army from the U.S. and the other countries all in infected with the Plagas working for Saddler, other people gone missing. I mean the even having electric poles to use on them! Along with knives, guns, flame arrows, and maces… At least they stopped them for once inside the place had lots of fires lid up all over from walking outside and inside the place, a group of fighting Ganados push a boulder on them lucky for Sarah to push Leon away in time.
"Leon!"
Lucky dodging there.
"I guess that was for me saving you from earlier?"
Sarah helps Leon up.
"Yes, we're even this time. We better be careful around here."
Stopping more and more Ganados from inside the caves and up top, they got some that escape from a dangerous prison with gas masks on. This was no longer part of Spain anymore; it was hell Leon and Sarah were in. Seeing more Plagas coming out and many hidden things inside to keep on moving without letting either of their guard down; soon a lot more throwing bombs, dynamites, or rocket launchers for Leon to deal with the big ones and Sarah with the left overs from up top was getting weirder every minute at a time. But Leon shoots a wagon with oil barrel lid on fire to kill the rest to blowing up.
"Should use it more often."
Watching out for more search lights, it wasn't easy avoiding that or other crazy Ganados. Hitting the button on the metal slide door to open for Leon and Sarah to go deep under of the place, more like a hidden underground drug dealing base. Merchant sells and the other two buy things from him to give with another message to say.
"Making it this far I see, good… You'll both find what you're looking for at a time. But keep in mind, that man will have control on your woman."
Leon got mad when Merchant said that to Sarah to scaring her.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Easy now. I'm saying he can control people with those things and you must have the will power to fighting back, he will have her. But only the body to move and not the mind. Only you can save this girl by freeing her heart from the monster inside of her and yours and that other girl. By doing so, she won't become one or the queen of anything and by then you'll get to the cure in getting those nasty things out of you once and for all."
Leon and Sarah had to believe in Merchant's saying for he's been right so far in a strangest way lately since the very beginning.
"Leon, though it might not happen I know we can fight back."
If Sarah's right, then Leon believes in her.
"I guess so. Thanks for helping us this far, sir."
Merchant laughs.
"It's no problem. I wish to sell and help out; I got some work to do on something else so see you two again soon."
Once Leon and Sarah leave the place, they see Merchant just ran off and left without a trace. Freaky… What did he mean by even if Saddler gets Sarah to control and Leon's the only one to saving her heart and mind and not the body, what does it all mean? Finally getting inside like being in an old training station being so run down, from water leaking, flies all over the placed, a mess, and food all rotten to the core grosses Sarah and Leon out.
"So, sick…"
"Those guys are no longer human but really indecent."
Not only that but a locker next to them blows up out of the blue with one Ganado coming out on fire and running around like crazy, allow Sarah to get a bucket full of used water to putting it out and the man to be dead once he hit ground due to being burned up.
"That was weird and annoying."
Hearing Ashley's voice getting closer and shooting out more Ganados, Leon and Sarah race their way to her and fast.
"Help!"
Sarah calls out to Ashley for she feels her out for Leon to follow.
"Don't worry, Ashley! We're coming for you!"
Checking from left, right, down, and up the voice was getting louder for them to follow in the next room for sure seeing a security camera on where she was for Leon and Sarah to see her calling for help in her cell and being corner by two Ganados.
"Help me, Leon! Sarah!"
"Ashley."
Sarah looks at the rest of the monitors knowing where Ashley was at. With two males push her to the floor and they know that Leon and Sarah were coming for her through the camera, one shuts the system down but Sarah has got it before it was turned off.
"She's not that far, let's go, Leon!"
With Sarah, leading Leon the way to Ashley he knows he and his girlfriend can save her again and not afraid to backing down.
"Heh. Amateurs. Just hang in there, Ashley. We're coming for ya."
Leaving out of the security room and finding their way around where they must find Ashley and hoping she was alright. They walk all over the locker room to seeing a garage like door opening and closing 'meaning it was broken' for Ganados threw dynamites for Leon to shoot back for them to blow up on them with Sarah's help as well. Good thing they're hiding behind the wall with a shatter window. With that being cleared up to going through they keep on going – they were in deeper in the basement with lots of weird things inside.
Tayla: Is it just me or have the lights begun to get dimmer from one hallway after another?
Entering inside a cold room of a lab, it looked like Luis use to work there from a cop to a scientist for Sarah and Leon to see many things inside from a computer to lots of machines. Through the window to the next it looked like a dried-up body on the table for them to see for Sarah to unlocking the systems with a code to open the door up, by making a 'l' shape by connecting the arrows from red, green, blue, and yellow to line up and it opens. For they see another memo made by Luis before he was killed and left out for Leon and Sarah to read.
"It was from Luis…"
The two began reading the note… Both El Gigante and the Novistador were strong by-products made inhumane experiments that they were once human, meaning Sarah was right on what she said about them being males of the Plagas. Another name for these was known as 'Regenerator': it looks like these ones can recover to keep on fighting and not dying; powerful weapon beings really for they're its and neither males or females to be they can't be killed unless taking out the Plagas within them. Hard to see so these ones in the Regenerators 'or I call them Rag or Rags for more to be short' have leeches of Plagas within them. Not to be seen from the human eye but more with a special type thermal imaging. Those special Plaga-like Leeches can only be stopped by that to see and shoot off, they live to only kill.
Seeing a dead body with a dead Plaga fully grown was painful for them to see, they find a Freezer Card to getting in some cold room that might be useful for Sarah knows it already.
"Leon, looks like those Rags might be in this place."
"Are you sure?"
Sarah can sense them out.
"Yes, if what Luis said about them is true then we must find something to stop the Leech Plagas to see and shoot. Follow me."
Sarah takes the card for her and Leon to leave the room to that door. Only to bump into a Rag in the cool room coming out to attacking them, Leon and Sarah couldn't shoot it down without seeing the weak points first, but how? Looking all grey all over of a type of zombie, with long legs, arms, with sharp claws, red eyes, sharp teeth like a shark, and are very deadly these Rags are very mean to kill anything in their way. They see it for the Rag can stretch out long from its arm to attack for Leon to keeping Sarah closes to him.
"Sarah! Stay close to me!"
"We got to get to the room with this card key in getting the weapon."
The two leave the room in time and avoiding more Rags, though they're deadly and strong they are also very slow to chase after their prey too well. Getting to another cold room, Leon and Sarah use one key card to open, to getting another, and using a panel to unlocking also unfreezing a door to grab hold of a special scope to put on the sniper gun, now to use to see the Leech-like Plagas to shoot from the Rags. Once that was all set for Leon to put together, he was all locked and loaded.
"Check it out?"
Just then, the door automatically close on the two and trapped in a huge freezer room.
Tayla: Can this get any worse?
One body of the Rags falls to the ground, only to have one come to life to coming at Leon and Sarah as Leon takes aim on it in protecting his woman.
"Tell me where to shoot."
Sarah felt out the Rag coming at them for her to see about three Plagas inside of it for Leon to fire where she told him where they were at.
"Upper right, to the middle chest, and lower on the left! One more on the right arm! Fire!"
Leon kept on firing until all the Plagas were dead and it blows up once it's dead. Once Sarah find a way to get the door back open, the two go back to the room to kill off the rest in getting where they need to be right away.
"Leon! Keep on firing while I tell you where! I'm right behind you too!"
"Yeah, you do that, Sarah."
Around each corner, Sarah told right away to Leon to keep on firing hard at each Rag coming at them from the left and to the right for some Plagas was very hard to find on them. Oh, if not shot quickly these things can keep on recovering no matter what. Once that was all cleared was back to the cold lab room to finish the other one off; all was good for more to use from the new gear to survive with and lucky for Sarah to be holding on to a spare key card, Sarah use her skills from unfreezing the door to her hair to unlocking it for the lovers to make their way to another mysterious room.
"Shall we go in, Leon?"
Leon kisses Sarah on the head for her to smile and laugh in a good way.
"Let's do this."
Entering in further of an army base area/lab from down the hallways Sarah and Leon see a working crane outside where lots of Ganados 'about four of them' were keeping watch, so Sarah runs the controls in getting to them out of the way, which really the crane is use for getting rid of trash.
"I got this one…"
One by one, Sarah tries grabbing lots of Ganados at a time to drop deep into the pit of the many trash, a deep fall there. After that was cleared up in the other room for Leon and Sarah to go in the next room somehow with Sarah enjoying doing that part for fun.
"Reminds me of the crane games I play at arcades."
Seeing more rooms being cleared so far, the two stayed on guard for anything in their way and finding Ashley in time. Hearing her voice calling out to Leon and to Sarah very loud while banging the metal door and saying help and two guards of Ganados wearing spike armor all over and very strong also tall were guarding the door.
"Leon! Sarah! Help!"
The two hear Ashley meaning they were getting closer.
"Ashley!"
The two Ganado Armors see Leon to kill and Sarah to capture for Saddler. They were kind of fast, very strong, and hard to shoot down. Though Leon got up to protect his Sarah the two kept on shooting at them until they went down.
"Leon! She's through that door!"
"Let's deal with these guys first before we do anything else!"
Sarah sees Leon's point for one left a hole on the ground seeing how strong they were.
"Good point."
Leon grabs his powerful shot gun to blow them away for Sarah to shoot one in the head and Leon many times more. Doing the same thing again in the other room for the Ganados along with Plagas too coming out and Sarah backing him up… They go into a computer room with another camera showing a new Rag with spikes all over enters from the door to stopping both Leon and Sarah. This time – it was dark blacker with brown all over, the same like the other one, with more Plaga-Leeches inside, all bloody up for lots of spikes were popping out all over its body, two smaller eyes, and a bigger mouth. Being close to it, will make it pop out bigger spikes like a puffer fish for Sarah to know.
"Leon, be careful. You get to close to this kind, it will pop out spikes. Very painful ones."
Leon aims at Spiky Rag.
"Got it, just tell me where to shoot."
After four to five shots in shooting all the Plagas inside of Spiky Rag's body 'thanks to Sarah's help', it blows up. They make their way through more lab rooms with many things left out to outside of the factory-like building for Sarah hears a howl of a wolf or more to Bruno, thinking he is alive somewhere, where at? Seeing Merchant to do the same old same old, he tells them something before heading up on to the elevator.
"What you see once the girl's safe, is the key that'll tell all about the chosen one. Also, beware of Saddler getting your woman back, stranger, only your bound of love can set her free of the soul and mind besides the body being controlled by force."
Sarah only knows that her real Mother's nearby once they get to Ashley first.
"Thanks, we'll remember that."
Up on the elevator they go to a communicator room to see if Leon can call for help in time for Sarah to prey for any luck to happen if it does.
"This is Leon. Request backup. Repeat, request backup."
No matter how hard Leon tried using the microphone and talking, nothing was getting through for it was being jammed.
"Damn!"
Sarah hugs Leon to make him feel better.
"Sorry, Leon. Looks like Saddler and the others are on to us."
"I know."
"What do we do now?"
"We got to go free Ashley and find your Mother. I'm here for you on this one, all the way until the end, Sarah. Remember that. You're not alone when I'm around."
The two kissed.
"I know. Thank you, Leon."
Going back down on the elevator and all the way back where Ashley was at 'after fighting many Plagas with the Ganados in many rooms too', finally she is saved once again as Sarah uses the key card to open the door and she and Leon see Ashley alright for her to be reunited with them, also to stay that way this time.
"Ashley!"
Ashley was happy to see the both.
"Sarah! Leon!"
"You okay?"
Ashley nodded a yes to Leon.
"Glad to hear it."
Ashley hugs Sarah.
"I'm just happy that Saddler didn't get you again."
"Not with Leon around."
Leon holds Sarah.
"Come on, let's get out of here."
The girls say it at the same time.
"Okay."
Before the three left the cellar room, an airplane note came flying through the cell hole 'it was from Ada' for she sees them doing fine to flee afterwards for Sarah to know she was alright too. Leon, Sarah, and Ashley read the note once they open it, but Ashley had one thing to ask…
"Ada…"
"Of course, the seal with a kiss is a big give away."
"Ah, you guys, who's Ada?"
Sarah tries to make the story about her short.
"Just a friend Leon and I know, with a lot of mysteries about that woman. But she's good."
"I see. So, what does the letter say?"
The three began to read it saying… The only way to get out of the place is through the dumpster from outside and out of the place and that's it. Really? Soon leaving the room for them to make their escape there 'I guess' and stopping other army-like Ganados in the way, Leon and Sarah do their best in protecting Ashley who stays close this time; Sarah stop two leaving Leon to get rid of the bigger one in the way from each room they took they stopped more along with Plagas to cut, kick, or shoot down until they're long gone. No sign of Sarah's Mother still? Leon presses a button to unlocking a door with more Ganados coming in for Sarah to blow them all away with a hand grenade in time.
"Let's go!"
Getting outside where the garbage gets dumped into the big deep hole it looks like for Ada's advice is the only way out for Leon, Sarah, and Ashley to use being really smelling to do.
"Looks like this is it."
Ashley didn't like the smell of it with her nose being covered up same with Sarah too.
"Ugh, it stinks."
"Sure does."
"In that case… Sarah, I got you."
Leon carries Sarah knowing what was about to come next for Ashley to hold on to her hand when jumping down.
"Oh, God…"
"Hold on tight, ladies."
Ashley didn't want to do it.
"No way, Leon."
But Sarah holds on to Leon for her to hold on to Ashley as they jump to go down.
"Way."
They jumped as the girls screamed all the way down, each landing on a lot of garbage all over for Ashley to hate it and Sarah to be in Leon's arms.
"Sorry, Sarah."
The two smile at each other.
"Its fine, Leon. It stinks but we're good, right?"
The two laugh and smile.
"You can say that again."
Ashley was grossed out.
"Are you out of your mind!? Yuck! Yuck! Yuck!"
"I knew you'd be fine if you landed on your butt."
Leon made a silly joke to Ashley to getting her mad.
"You…!"
Leon helps Ashley up as she felt something on her hand of a Spiky Rag 'or the Iron Maiden on the ground and slimy.
"What is this?"
"Come on, let's go."
Sarah, Leon, and Ashley try to find their way out of the dumpster. Once the gate was opened, the Spiky Rag comes to life for Leon and Sarah to stop it before it comes to them.
"What is that thing?!"
Sarah gets in front of Ashley.
"Stay close to us, Ashley! Leon, get ready!"
After four shots 'and with Sarah's help' Leon destroys the Spiky Rag to blow up.
"Thanks again, Sarah, time for us to leave."
"Got it."
The three make their way through the underground area as they push an empty trash barrel to make a path to cross the water. Doing this many more times to stopping more Spike Rags too even crazy Ganados with Plagas popping out, for Leon and Sarah to stopping them as a team but hard to finding their way out without fighting a lot. Well for Ashley to spot a hidden gate nearby to get through.
"Look, there's a gate there."
Sarah feels it for her Mother was nearby inside somewhere.
"Sarah?"
"I feel it, you guys. She's in there. I think… No. Like Betty was. We have to get in!"
Before that Leon blows more Ganados away and Sarah too aiding him as well even falling into the pool of lava. No doubt Sarah's Mother is there due to hot temperatures. Allowing Ashley to find a control room to use a huge wrecking ball to move around and hit the wall for them to go into, while the lovers took care of the enemies in the way. It worked for the three headed inside and stopped more Rags too seeing another room with many things lying around and soon lots of tree-like roots moving around all over the place, like a plant grew too much. It was alive and freaking Ashley out for Leon was about to shoot all the roots coming at them, until Sarah stepped in.
"Stop!"
Somehow from Sarah's screaming and Leon holding his gun down, it made the roots stopped too for it moved slowly for them to follow.
"Its Mother, she's close."
Sarah follows the roots for Leon and Ashley to do the same thing. Where will it lead them though? From down the hallways, to a large storage room, a small meeting room, with no luck opening the shutter door all the way up, and Ashley to do that part to open the rest on the other side.
"Leave it to me, you guys."
And so, she did allowing the three to continue following the roots. Seeing it takes the three to a bigger door to go through that ends there, for Leon and Ashley to use the switch to timing it and opening the door to go right in for the roots to go back in many of them breathing a lot and covering the room for Leon, Sarah, and Ashley to be seeing. It was in a garage room where a truck was at covering the whole place even the exits for Sarah steps up closer to see if it was really her.
"I knew it… Mom."
Both Leon and Ashley were very surprise to learn that and seeing it for Sarah as well.
"No way…"
"That's your Mother?"
Out of the roots appears a woman who looked like she was fused as part of a plant-like statue herself, meaning she has thought the birthing of the Plagas from within, but with the cause of their blood with hers turning into a creature suffering for a long time now. Lucky ones to escape only to be absorbed with nature to live long enough knowing that she'll see her daughter again and for one last time, also had something to do what went down now during the Raccoon City madness. The only thing Sarah's Mother did from the lively plants with blood coming out when she cries was a smile on her weak face.
"Leon, she's on our side. Let me talk to her."
Leon goes with her with tem holding hands.
"I understand."
Ashley stands close to them too.
"Be careful."
Sarah looks at her Mother 'for seeing her real one for the first time' as she did too. For Sarah reached her hand out on the cheek for the Mother's roots to hold too.
"Oh… Sarah Lamar… It is you. After sixteen years, I finally get to see you again. How lovely you grown."
Sarah cries for she hugs her Mother and she does with her roots being her many arms to move only.
"Mom. Mommy, I knew you were alive."
"Yes, for if for me to see you once more."
Sarah touches her face knowing that she unable to be saved.
"I know. I feel it. Saddler did this to you like the other girls and Betty."
"I'm sorry you had to see me like this. I believe you know what and why they're doing it to those that come here and go missing."
"I do. But…"
"What is it, Sarah?"
Sarah had to ask why her Mother would leave her when her own Father and his partner 'being the fake Mother' would sick experiment things to giving her so much powers, she wanted to know here and now.
"Mom… I want to know the whole truth. Why you left me with Dad? Why did he do many sick tests on me? What am I? Who am I? Why do I have this thing that ruined my life? And what is it for!?"
For that, she knew that day would come that she blames only herself after what Sarah went through only to get out of the city in time to be involved into this mess. So, she says it all for her daughter, Leon, and Ashley to learn about – 'little did they know that Ada was listening in as well as Merchant from hiding'.
"Very well, I will tell you all. Sarah Lamar… Saddler ruined your Father and my life from the day you were born."
Tayla: Say what!?
"What!?"
Leon demanded to know more for Sarah's sake in defending her.
"What does that suppose to mean!?"
As Sarah's Mother told them all before her time ran out since she lived only from water for so long until today, she had to for Sarah to know all about herself besides Saddler other plans there was more.
"It happened long ago… Your Father was a brilliant scientist who works for Mr. Sera who was Luis' father in this place being so lovely and fun. They made things that were good and bad for I was on vacation who also loved science in finding rare fossils to fall for him, until the time came of robbers trying to steal the chemicals for drug uses allowing you Father and I to get married early to escape with it and saved Mr. Sera career to carry out our own lives. We lived in Raccoon City then being a normal town once and having you while working on many things while keeping some of the deadliest ones he worked on safe in the house; working for STARS was hard at first to get us where we needed to be and before the zombie break out for one of our partners to lose his mind and soon Mr. Sera was killed by Saddler and Ramon in resurrecting the Plagas with their skills and turning once his home town into a nightmare, we were betrayed. Saddler and his men came by one day with Sarah started out high school for us to talk some sense into Saddler not to use the other chemicals for Plagas uses for birth making to using humans a test subjects, it was awful. We had to give it all to him and take us back to Spain as a price for messing with something so rare to turn so deadly, we try fighting back well I did in the cause of being capture and losing my love and you, my daughter. I was about to become Saddler's biggest tool in making more Plagas by getting pregnant first, though I couldn't become one allowing me to hide from them for many years to surviving in the village. If t wasn't for Mr. Sera's son Luis who saved me, and made many things to stop the Plagas, also shipping it to my husband for he needed a cure the answer was me; however, I worked hard the blood of the Plagas poison me with powerful cancer destroying all over my body for me to work hard until the job was done. By doing so, your Father knew my blood wouldn't do any good to have yours to be the key since you had the same blood I do. In getting more work from STARS to do so many tests on you. It was wrong for me to stop him, but he knew it was working. He made a half Plaga Spawn that you can control like Saddler can only to be pure, and it did work for one woman a close friend of mine to make sure of that. Your Father had to once I knew what he was doing and using a false wife to protect my safety and yours. Because of me dying and aiding Luis all that I know of to hide and work on a cure, I was unable to continue to hide from Saddler and the controlled dead Ganados, those poor people… My entire body soon fused much differently in becoming a half Plaga of a plant combined use to my blood being fused inside to creating a tree. A tree that would save lives – like your, the President's Daughter, and my son who we also had but left him in a care of my friends from America before… Saddler killed them. Honey, I saved you."
Looking back… It explains how Sarah was saved after being thrown out from a plane crash, same with Ashley before she was kidnapped and caring for Sarah's older brother for so long and more until he grew up and alive still on the island. For that and why her Father and his partner did all of it to her body to save lives and Leon and Ashley's too. For Luis and she did the rest in shipping many things to the U.S. was soon stopped today from Saddler killing off Luis.
"It… It can't be… Mom."
"What I did was unforgiveable to you, Sarah, and I'm so sorry. I would of return to you but I was alone and slowly dying but all for you to save us."
Sarah understood now and remembering her Father caring for her as she thought he only cared for his line of work and not her, blinded by the truth in suffering she remember clearly now.
"So, that's why he did it. He loved me to save us. He couldn't tell me because if Umbrella found out, they would kill the both of us and that woman being your friend kept in touch you for my safety if Saddler found out you two had me."
"Yes. Your Father loved you and gave his life when the zombies broke in to turning him and my friend into one, slowly to change without a cure and protecting you to tell they have done it and they'll love me always. But I was able to tell Ada Wong the whole thing to getting out of the city for her to make her job clear in return of our report secretly, I had to make a deal from telling me was the last I heard of her knowing that you were safe; it must have been hard going through life six years later without learning the truth until today for me to understand your pain so much, Sarah, we are the same but only you can end the Plagas. You are a fighter and very smart with brains like myself and skills in planning things out like your Father was… With your skills in fighting, brains, and controlling the Plagas, only you can stop Saddler's plans and save those two from turning."
It all made sense now after Sarah listen and think it through until the end.
"I understand now. Father did love me; it was all hidden just for me to save what I could… All from what I got within me."
Leon had one question in mind.
"So why does Saddler want to marry her?'
Sarah's Mother looked at Leon as she could tell how close they were.
"I was hoping he didn't find out… Because unlike me, Sarah has a gift for the people saying anyone who controls what has been made is the chosen one of the Plagas. Saddler wants her powers to rule a better world to making it into a nightmare, and using the President's Daughter over the White House will have more control. Of a region that's full of lies and death! But thanks to Luis's last will in giving you three many pills to slow down the Plagas being born, there's still time."
Ashley wishes to know how and where they can remove the Plagas out of them.
"And how do we do that?"
It was hard to know the rest from Sarah's Mother, for all she could do was to say what she knew about and tell them what to do next.
"I'm afraid I haven't got a clue to knowing how. So, sorry… I can say this. Luis has a machine for a cure in removing the Plagas inside of your bodies that will be painful but useful. Only your blood, Sarah, to sniff up along with Ashley and Leon's can destroy them before using the machine. It was my idea for Luis to do; I owe him so much if he was alive…"
The three understood what needed to be doing net for Leon the most to know.
"I got it. Get cured, protect the girls, have Sarah's skills save us, stop the Plagas, Saddler too, and get the hell off this island for good. That is if Ingrid can get in contact with us."
Sarah's Mother then uses her roots 'about to fade into dust for she was dying' to giving the three something to use on their way from weapons, bullets, bombs, a detector radar, a spray for your nose, a needle, healing spray, and a map where they needed to go to next.
"Here. It's nothing much but thank of this as something to help you all out on the rest in stopping Saddler and saving yourselves. Do what you must… And Sarah, don't let Saddler get to you or your friend. Fight back."
Ashley tries to be strong.
"We'll do our best."
Leon shakes with Sarah's Mother's root-like hand to say his thanks.
"Thank you."
"Please tell me your name, the one who loves my daughter so much."
"The name's Leon S. Kennedy. And you're right, I love Sarah with all my heart, I will protect her. I'm glad you told her the truth making me happy about it as she is too."
"Please, Leon, take good care of her."
Sarah's Mother started to scream out in pain to being breaking apart little by little.
"Mom!"
"I'm sorry! I think my time's almost up. Sarah, please finish me."
Sarah couldn't kill her only mother. It was killing her so much to doing so and making her cry very hard.
"Why me?"
"I have been suffering for so long… I only wanted to tell and see you one last time and for you to end it, knowing you can save the others from this. Please, Sarah…"
Leon tries talking to Sarah in doing this…
"No, Sarah, I'll do it if you want me to."
"No!"
…But Sarah wasn't hiding from anymore danger this time.
"I got this, Leon, thank you. It my problem to deal with here."
Ashley tries to turn around and not see what was about to come next for Leon to watch and Sarah walking up to her Mother's front to use a flame grenade to put her out of her misery quickly, after kissing her on the head and having one last hug.
"Mom, thank you. Now I know. I will stop Saddler for you."
"You're welcome, Sarah. I'll say hi to your Father."
"Please do."
Sarah moves away as she sets off the grenade to throw at her Mother to go off as she gets back to Leon's side.
"I love you, Mom!"
Sarah's Mother smiles with one last bloody tear drop to be shown her dried up face.
"I know… I have known for a long time…"
And so, the bomb goes off setting her on fire not crying out in pain only to lift her head up with joy as she was consuming from the fire to fade away. For that all the roots and plants were no more making the room much clearly this time to getting out. Ashley felt bad for Sarah's lost and Leon to hear about the truth as she did too, though she was crying she try to be brave the best way she could to avenge her family and those that died by Saddler's hands.
"Sarah?"
Sarah hugs Leon for him to help her blow her nose.
"I'm good, Ashley. I know we can do this, I won't be alone anymore."
Leon kisses Sarah for her to like the feeling on her lips.
"You got me and Ashley. Your Mother died with a smile, it had to be done. Sarah, I'm being serious here that when we get out, do become an agent."
Sarah smiles.
"I will, Leon. We'll be partners."
"Then we're ready to go?"
"Yes, the map shows we have to keep going forward. Come on."
Ashley was happy to see her best friend happy again.
"You rock, Sarah."
"Thanks."
With one who suffered so much for only a daughter's love to a mother to set her spirits free with lots to learn has made Sarah Lamar more open minded on things she had to do with Leon, Ashley, Ada, Merchant, and Bruno's help. Hopefully to find her Brother somewhere with Bruno too, can allow them to get the cure with her help in stopping Saddler next. But where will they go to next? And how?
Tayla: I bet they'll be driving out… :D
Ashley got on the truck to start it up with the keys to crushing their way out with a claw to use while driving.
"Ashley, you can drive?"
"Of course, I'm twenty, remember? So, leave it to me!"
Ashley destroys the door as Leon and Sarah got on from the back to shoot away.
"This should be fun."
"Let's shoot the Ganados for us to get to the right area."
"Okay, Leon! GO, Ashley, go!"
Here they come… With Ashley driving, both Leon and Sarah took out many Ganados from behind to shoot many at them. Yeah, like they'll stop them from in oncoming car. From weapons to deadly tag team to getting on the back side was something for them to shoot away, even a truck on fire for them to shoot down until it stopped driving fast into them. Along the way to a bridge being lower down until they get there, more fighting going on in the back-pickup truck.
"They're coming at us!"
"Not if we have anything to say about it they won't!"
The truck stop to the bridge for Leon does the rest to bring it up for Sarah to shooting the other Ganados in the way.
"Go, Leon, I'm leaving this to you."
Leon gets off to getting up to the control pads and Sarah shooting away for him. Leon pulls the lever in time to return on board and continue driving, for a bumpy ride into stopping Ganados with Plagas it was no trouble for Leon and Sarah to handle with Ashley driving so well. Going up to another one… Another truck comes out for the two to shoot away and for Ashley to make a path to getting out of the road and away from any more danger. A crashing opening for the three, but were all good to go to the other room and leaving the damage up one.
"Land ho I guess."
Ashley giggles.
"Sorry, good at driving cars not pickup trucks."
"Where to, Sarah?"
Sarah leads the way for Leon to follow by her side and Ashley to stay close.
"Through here."
Through one room to buying and selling from Merchant to getting to another leading them to a trap where Saddler waits for the three as he laughs. Man, that guy's way too freaky! Merchant warns them to late from the other room.
"Don't go in there! It's a trap-!"
But it was too late. Saddler shuts the door tightly from Merchant to being locked in to Leon, Sarah, and Ashley in danger. For Sarah tried to be strong for her Mother and Father this time.
"You!"
"I can feel them. Growing ever so strongly inside you. And soon you will become my puppets, the both of you. Leaving Sarah to be mine forever."
"Never! I'll never forgive what you did to my family!"
"Ah, so you found dear Mommy? I should thank her and her husband for not discovering Luis's plans in finding you the Chosen One."
Leon defense both Sarah and Ashley.
"Damn you, Saddler!"
Leon runs up to Saddler to attack only for him to control his body from the Plagas doing to stop in pain.
"Leon!"
"No! Fight back!"
Saddler laughs just enjoying every moment.
"Perhaps you can resist, but you cannot disobey."
Just then Saddler turns his hand from Leon to both Ashley and Sarah.
"Ashley, runaway!"
But it was too late.
"Now, come to me, Ashley. And dear Sarah."
"No-!"
With Ashley standing still her eyes turn red as she walks up to Saddler being mind controlled and soon Sarah did too for only her body was not the brain though. For Leon sees the horror to save the girls, but the pain was too much on him.
"Ashley! Sarah!"
Lucky for Leon to throw a small device on Ashley's clothes to track her down. He tries running to Saddler to stop him.
"Leave them alone!"
Saddler stops him in pain and throws him to the ground to see the girls leaving and Sarah in Saddler's arms once again, not good.
"Leon!"
A few Ganados walk Ashley out without a problem and Saddler knocks Sarah cold to carry her out of the building before Leon's eyes to take control of his own body again.
"At last… I have my bride. We shall be married in due time. No longer will you'll be seeing her again, Mr. Kennedy."
Saddler laughs carrying Sarah away as well as Ashley too for Leon to lose them both and fearing the worse for Sarah in grave danger.
"Sarah! Wake up! Please! Sarah!"
Leon got up, punch the ground many times anger, and found Sarah's missing Butterfly Knife she dropped which means he tell had the chance to saving her like her Mother said and such along with Ashley too.
"This has only begun… Ashley, I'll save you. And Sarah, wait for me. I'll get you away from Saddler. He won't marry you. Not when I'm around."
Go, Leon, go! From bad to worse, things might be good for our hero to save the girls in time. What does Saddler's plan this time besides marrying Sarah…? All in the note left out for Leon to read – doesn't care about his fellow used up men to using Ashley to bring back infected by the Plaga from the U.S., also from Ramon using him too not to do that to anyone else or to him ever again. For Ada to Watch on things like Merchant was as well 'on his end', with Bruno still around and Jack still watching on things and about make his move by Saddler's orders… What will happen next? Leon makes his way through to saving the girls in time before Sarah is married to Saddler, only her heart and mind can save her from being controlled by the Plaga within her, in time though? I sure hope so too. Will they get cured in time, leave the awful place, stop Saddler, the Plagas, Jack, Ashley to be saved too, finding Bruno along with Sarah's long lost brother, and what's up with Merchant dude…? Just who is he anyways? So much with more to come real soon.
