Chapter 1: Getting in


2004

Inside Guardia Civil 2003 Nissan Terrano II, somewhere in Spain


Leon Kennedy and Kevin Ryman, two of the four surviving ex-Raccoon City Police Department officers from its Select Police Force (SPF) division were inside the SUV of a Guardia Civil Nissan Terrano II as they were being driven to the rural parts of Spain. Yesterday, the two special agents were told by the CIA that Ashley was sighted in a village somewhere in Spain and that the two men needed to go there and check out the rumors if she's there or not.

"Least the CIA was nice to get us a direct flight to Madrid and all." Kevin sighed, stretching his legs on the passenger seat of the Terrano II. He wore a black military jacket and cargo pants and a pair of 9 inch HAIX Airpower Jungle Boots on. Underneath was a gray shirt.

"You think so?" Leon told Kevin, looking outside. "Especially considering that we're part of the Secret Service for our official cover." Unlike Kevin, Leon has a brown bomber jacket on with the same cargo pants as Kevin. He had a black shirt on and 8 inch Bates Enforcer boots.

"Yep. Be nice if we're in DSO full time."

"Who are you two really? Come on and tell us." One of the Guardia Civil officers spoke to Leon and Kevin. "You two are a long way from home. Both of you have our sympathies."

"That's an interesting way of introduction." Kevin raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed." Leon agreed with Kevin.

"Well we're not gonna spoil anything 'cept we're here to confirm rumors that the American President's missing daughter was suppose to be somewhere around here."

"Nope." Leon insisted. "Unless you two tagged along to sing a song by the bonfire." He then sighed. "Then again, maybe you guys did."

The Guardia Civil officer raised an eyebrow. "You have to be kidding. Ah you crazy Americans. It's a direct order from the chief himself."

"By the way," Kevin went to ask the Guardia Civil officers. "there's another SUV behind us with the same Guardia Civil markings..."

"Oh yes." The officer nodded. "One of the occupants back there is a detective from Japan. A woman in fact."

Leon raised an eyebrow. Looks like this investigation's turning out to be a lot interesting.

"I can't recall who the other two are actually." The officer scratched the back of his head. "I know one of them's with Interpol. But the other one, she's kind of quiet."

"You know who she is."

"Her accent was English, that I can tell."

"Well what do you know?" Kevin grinned at Leon. "I think I'm liking this mission already, pal."

"Get focused will ya?" Leon raised an eyebrow at Kevin. "Just because we got women investigators with us doesn't matter we ought to take it easy."

"Right, right."

"They probably got different reasons why they decided to tag with us."

The Guardia Civil convoy stopped temporarily so that one of the officers could take a break and piss. He was finished in a few minutes, getting back to the SUV before the journey continued.


Outskirts of nearby house, near village, somewhere in Spain


The two Guardia Civil Nissan Terrano IIs arrived at the outskirts of an unknown house. The vehicles were parked on a trail leading to some local village after navigating through a wooden bridge that was fortunately able to handle their weight.

"Well we're here."

Kevin got out of the Terrano II, followed by Leon. Both men had their fingerless gloves on.

"What do you think?" Leon asked Kevin, pointing to the old house up ahead.

Kevin took out a pair of military-grade binoculars and zoomed in to take a look. "Looks like creepsville, but it's the only place where we can start."

"I know. Reminds me... of that place."

The two agents took note of three women exiting the second Guardia Civil SUV. A couple of them were Asian and one of them was Caucasian.

"What the? I noticed the two of them." Kevin whispered to Leon when they turned around. "It's Chun-Li from Interpol and Agent Cammy from Delta Red."

"You're right." Leon nodded and then eyed the other Asian woman. "But who's the other woman?"

"That's what I like to know."

"I take it that you're the two American agents assigned to this case?"

Leon and Kevin noted that Cammy was the first to speak to them. "Cammy White, Delta Red of MI6."

"Leon Kennedy." The two shook hands. "This is my partner, Kevin Ryman. Officially we are with the Secret Service to investigate Ashley Graham's kidnapping. Then again, we're not..."

"I understand the situation." Cammy smirked when she later shook hands with Kevin. "So there's no need to explain it to me."

She's quite the looker. Kevin grinned while he shook hands with Cammy.

"But where's your team?" Leon asked.

"MI6 decided that it was risky to send them, so I came alone."

"Agent Chun-Li from Hong Kong. I'm here to investigate on an INTERPOL capacity." The Chinese woman shook hands with Leon and Kevin.

"Pleased to meet you. You were quite impressive back then in the tournaments I've seen on TV." Leon told Chun-Li.

Chun-Li smirked. "Never knew I got a fan from Mr. Kennedy here."

"I am." Kevin grinned when he shook hands with her.

"At least I'm appreciated."

The other Asian woman approached Leon and Kevin. She had long black hair that nearly touched her shoulders. She had a black windbreaker, gray hiking pants and military-type boots.

"Detective Eriko Aizawa of the National Police Agency." Eriko bowed to Leon and Kevin before she shook their hands.

"So the NPA's interested in this case too?" Kevin asked Eriko after she made her introduction.

"Only because of a case in Shinjuku." Eriko explained. "It's my jurisdiction after all."

"Seems that each of you ladies are here 'cause of whoever is hiding in this place."

Cammy nodded. "Delta Red's been trying to investigate a cult named Los Illuminados and its ties to the Real IRA after MI6 headquarters was attacked back in 2000. My assignment here is to see whether Delta Red can use this lead since it's all I got."

"A cult with ties to a terrorist group?" Leon said, hearing what Cammy mentioned. "Now this is getting interesting."

"INTERPOL got word that the group has been helping the Shadaloo Intimidation Network or SIN with the black market." Chun-Li explained her position. "I'm here to get to the bottom of things and see if they're helping SIN after the death of its leader Seth."

"Looks like they're trying to get its game back together even after Shadowlaw was taken down." Kevin sighed. "Can't seem to learn."

Leon asked Eriko. "Um, mind if I ask what kind of case are you involved in, Detective?"

"Certainly." Eriko nodded. "A case came to my attention when an arrest came for radical Aleph members accused of stockpiling assault rifles to free Shoko Asahara from prison prior to his execution. Among their foreign contacts include Los Illuminados, which is the reason why I came here. I'm one of the few officers in the force who can speak Spanish."

"I think I'll make a vow to let my friends and family not to join nutjob religious organizations like that." Kevin sighed. He remembered it too well when he saw the events of the Tokyo subway attack on the tube once during a break at the local diner back in Raccoon City when it was still T-Virus-free.

"Since we're all here to check on whether the group has ties to our investigations," Leon told the ladies. "we're about to start asking some questions to the nearest house."

"That looks creepy." Chun-Li muttered.

"I don't think we have a choice in the matter." Cammy told the INTERPOL officer. "Not unless we want to be stuck here all day."

Leon got out his radio, which looked like a mobile phone except that he unfolded a panel to show two video screens. Both went live and it showed him and a woman in her middle 20s. She had Caucasian features, eyeglasses and a headset worn over her head.

Looks the phone cam's working.

"Leon, Kevin. I hope you two can hear me."

"Loud and clear, beautiful." Kevin replied.

The woman sighed. "I'm Ingrid Hunnigan and I'll be your support for this mission."

"Loud and clear." Leon replied. He and Kevin gave each other the thumbs up.

"So Ashley Graham was reported to be in this village?" Kevin asked Ingrid after confirming the transmissions.

"That's right. She's the president's daughter. So try and behave you two, okay?"

"Whoever this group is, they sure picked the wrong girl to kidnap." Leon told Ingrid after hearing he and Kevin needed to behave.

"I'll try to find more information on my end." Ingrid replied. "One more thing guys. We'll be working with Delta Red, INTERPOL and the National Police Agency on this matter. They've also agreed to keep the investigation under wraps due to the potential links to the kidnapping as well."

"Understood. Leon and Kevin out." Kevin said, putting his radio away by putting it in a pouch on his harness hidden underneath his jacket.

"You guys coming?" Leon asked the Guardia Civil officers.

"We can't." One of them replied. "Got to stay here and make sure we don't get parking tickets."

"Che. Sure." Kevin rolled his eyes.

"Meanwhile, we need to ask about that truck blocking the way." Cammy pointed out the truck nearby that blocked the way of the trail they're on.


A ninja wearing purple Shinobi Shozoku watched Leon, Kevin and the three women make their approach towards the old, wooden house. He stared at Leon and Kevin, the two agents leading Cammy, Chun-Li and Eriko towards the house before Leon opened the door for them to get inside. He had a Tekko-kagi worn over his right hand. His ninjato was placed on a saya strapped on his back.

But unknown to that ninja, another one was watching him and the people on the ground from another tree. The other ninja has a star on his Shinobi Shozoku and he had a ninjato and a katana with their sayas at the back of his waist.


Inside House, near village, somewhere in Spain


"Excúseme sir. ¿Pero usted importa de si le pedimos algo?" Eriko took the lead in asking the man question in her fluent Spanish. The man ignored her as he was busy tending to his fireplace.

Eriko showed him the photo of Ashley and asked. "¿Usted sabe si usted tiene esta mujer en la foto?"

The man got angry and shouted at her, looking at his fireplace. "¿Qué carajo estás haciendo aquí? ¡Lárgate, cabrón!"

The Japanese detective looked at Leon and whispered. "He's not interested in helping us."

Leon nodded before Eriko said, "Nuestras apologías, sir."

Kevin saw that the man was about to grab the axe. He then attempted to slash at Eriko and the others.

"AAH!" She moved out of the way, nearly falling down. Chun-Li and Cammy were there to give her a hand.

"No se mueva!" Kevin shouted at the axe-armed man, who drew out a Glock 21 Mariner pistol and took aim at the crazed man. Leon did the same when he drew out his Silver Ghost pistol.

"No se mueva!" Kevin repeated the warning. When the two agents see that the man refused to lower his axe, the ex-SPF officers fired their pistols until the man went down on the ground.

"What the hell is he?" Leon said, lowering his Silver Ghost. "Doesn't act like a zombie."

"Not possible." Kevin told Leon. "He seemed to be sentient. I mean, he replied to Eriko and all before he decided to go ballistic."

The group turned their attention outside, looking outside to see the truck now moving before it rammed the Guardia Civil SUVs, running them over before the vehicles fell over the ravine with the officers still inside.

"Oh god." Cammy whispered, seeing the SUVs go over.

"What now?" Chun-Li asked, watching various locals surround the house with farming tools as weapons like pitchforks and sickles. She counted 8 of them.

Leon and Kevin received incoming radio transmissions, making the two men pick up their radios.

"Is everything okay?" Ingrid asked.

"There was a local hostile. We had no choice but to neutralize him." Leon reported, explaining the situation.

Cammy gestured to Leon and Kevin to see outside.

"Just to let you know, we're being surrounded by locals outside. And they're not here to greet us and all." Kevin told Ingrid of their situation.

"Get out of there and head to the village." Ingrid told the agents. "Take whatever measures necessary to save the subject."

"Roger that."

"Great." Eriko huffed, drawing out her Sig Sauer P228 from her shoulder holster. "Now we're in trouble."


Outside House, near village, somewhere in Spain


A door frame-sized portal materialized on the trail, revealing a bunch of people including a familiar person with brown hair.

"This is most likely Spain." Martin said, being the first person to step out of the portal. "Or so I hoped."

"And intelligence is right." Diana sighed. "We're in the middle of nowhere..."

"Java ready for anything." The caveman told the two.

"I'm sure you are, Java-san." Fujino told Java before she looked around. "Is this the right place?"

The group were greeted by shouts in Spanish, four of the locals moving towards Martin and company while the other four converged in on the house to attack Leon and company.

"Seems so, guys." Jill got her Beretta Px4 Type F pistol from the holster on her right leg. "Dammit, we got hostiles..." She took aim with the iron sights at the nearest hostile villager after the portal disappeared, armed with a rusting spade.

Martin got the U-Watch to activate, giving Diana the X-Rod while he got the I-Cutter.

Java pounded his clenched fist on his palm, indicating his readiness to fight.

Fujino got to her O-Watch and retrieved her own I-Cutter, which had the handle of tactical Tanto knife. She activated the energy blade, which resembled an 8.5 inch blade that had been flipped out of the handle.


"Is that Jill Valentine?" Chun-Li, seeing the portal appear with her and the Center agents.

"No time to think about that!" Leon told her, kicking the door hard to catch one of the villagers off guard while carrying a pitchfork. He fired his Silver Ghost several times before one of the shots struck his face, making him dizzy.

"HAH!" The ex-SPF officer shouted, executing a roundhouse kick to send him back to the ground.

Kevin had his attention on another villager, charging at him with a heavy-duty rake aimed for his throat. He dodged it by stepping to the side while using his pistol as a melee weapon to smack his face before he kicked him on the stomach.

"Your timing sucks!" shouted Kevin. The ex-SPF officer then fired his Glock 21 after taking careful aim at the head, seeing the villager go down after being shot in the forehead.

Cammy and Chun-Li teamed up to fight off the last two crazed villagers, armed with sickles.

"Careful." The Delta Red operative told the INTERPOL officer.

"I know." Chun-Li went on the offensive first, going for one of the sickle-armed villagers before she did her Lightning Kick trademark. "Hyakuretsukyaku!"

The villager was hit literally by several feet going for his head, chest, neck, arms and legs. He went down hard after being kicked on the stomach by what seemed to be the 100th time.

Cammy followed up with her own attack when she ran for the other villager. She executed the Hooligan Combination, moving close to his head before grabbing it with her legs.

"EYAH!" The blonde-haired woman shouted after she slammed the villager's head onto the ground.

Eriko fired her P228 on any of the villagers trying to stand up after being attacked by Cammy and Chun-Li, watching them shout in pain before they were dead for good.


Control Room, somewhere in Spain


Krauser was wearing an 82nd Airborne Division beret with a black shirt, desert choco chip pants and black Altama boots alongside knee pads and a combat harness worn on his chest. He was playing around with his CQD Mark V Advanced Tactical Fighter combat knife.

"Seems that Saddler has gotten some of you into his little plan after we kidnapped the President's kid." He stared at an Asian woman, armed with a Heckler & Koch MSG-90A1 sniper rifle. She wore CADPAT AR camo and black Altama boots.

"I'm not the only one after all, Krauser." The Asian woman told Krauser. "You think that you're the only one that man considers you to be important."

"Relax, Kei Amami." Krauser told Kei. "You'll get your chance. Besides, Wesker has provided us intelligence that a detective from the Japanese National Police Agency's in the country."

"Ah, fellow countryman." Kei smirked. "This should be exciting."

Krauser turned around to see the Tekko-kagi-armed ninja come inside.

"They have arrived as we speak." The ninja told Krauser.

"I'm pretty sure the villagers are going to give our guest a good welcome. I hope you weren't followed."

"I hope so." The ninja brandished his Tekko-kagi. "I'm excited to give them a good show on my skills. And don't worry, I wasn't."

"We should be getting at least one more person in with us, Geki." Krauser told the ninja. "Don't know the name though..."

"I personally don't care." Geki brought out his ninjato from the saya for emphasis. "As long as I'll be able to fight them later on."


Outside House, near village, somewhere in Spain


Jill fired his Px4 Type F pistol at one of the villagers armed with an axe at the knees. Java moved in and used his fists to do a double punch attack.

"AAAHHH!" Java yelled, punching the villagers hard on their temple.

Diana faced off against two villagers with scythes after she extended the X-Rod to a staff, twirling the weapon before she swept them off their feet. A few seconds later, they got up and grabbed their scythes once again.

"Bend." Fujino said, concentrating on incapacitating their villagers by twisting their legs hard. When the villagers saw this, they crawled towards the Reien Girls Academy student in anger.

Jill saw this and fired her pistol at the crawling villagers, killing them after shooting them with a few shots on their bodies.

"They don't act like the zombies in Dawn of the Dead." Martin frowned, using his I-Cutter to slash the pitchfork of the other villager into two, reducing his fighting capacity. "Then again, they're not regular people."

"I don't know Martin-san." Fujino told Martin. "They act like they're under someone's control."

"Doesn't sound strange to me. It's possible that they don't like outsiders." Martin told her. The two got their I-Cutters ready. "Let's do this." They saw one more villager was left facing them. Three down, one to go.

The flail-armed villager got to swing the flail attached on the stick as he was nearing the two Center agents.

"Bend." Fujino whispered, seeing the flail started to get cracked up.

"I gotta do this." Martin slashed the man on the chest and followed it with a roundhouse kick. The villager stumbled and tried to grab Martin.

"Let go!" Martin shouted, struggling with the villager when he dropped his I-Cutter. "Damn, he's strong!"

Java grabbed a nearby log and he began to swing it, smacking on the villager as the caveman watched him hit the back of his head on a nearby tree trunk. Very hard.

"Is he dead?" Diana asked, seeing the villager hit the tree trunk hard.

Java moved in and poked him with his foot. "He not moving, Diana."

"Glad to see you guys are okay." Jill holstered her sidearm once the threat has subsided.

She then spotted Leon and Kevin running towards where the rope bridge had formerly been, followed by Cammy, Chun-Li and Eriko.

"Come on." Jill told the Center agents. "Looks like something big's going on."


Near Edge of Ravine, somewhere in Spain


"This can't be good." Leon stared down at the ravine, crouching down so that he won't fall. He saw the truck overturned with the Guardia Civil Nissan Terrano II SUVs in various wrecked states.

"No corpses." Kevin stated, seeing no bodies from the Guardia Civil or from the crazed villagers. "This'll be hard."

"We're cut off." Eriko said, looking down the ravine. "It's like they knew we're coming from the start."

"Hey." Kevin made contact with Ingrid via radio. "Just letting you know that the villagers cut off our escape route and our Guardia Civil escorts are apparently missed. Maybe dead based on our situation, Hunnigan."

Ingrid sighed upon hearing the news. "Understood. I'll inform the relevant parties at once. I don't think the Spanish Interior Minister and the Director-General are going to be pleased by that news."

"Yeah, I know." Kevin spotted Jill and the Center agents approaching the ravine as well, looking down. "Leon and I will head to the village to conduct our investigation. Kevin out."

"Leon, Kevin." Jill greeted the two by shaking their hands. "It's good to see a familiar face around here."

"Of course I can't forget a face like yours." Kevin said, trying to act smooth. Jill raised an eyebrow at him while Leon wanted to slap his face after hearing what Kevin had said.

"Pleasure to meet you at last, Ms. Valentine." Chun-Li greeted Jill.

"Likewise." Cammy added after she and Chun-Li shook hands with Jill.

"It's an honor to meet you guys responsible for bringing down Shadowlaw." Jill told Cammy and Chun-Li.

Eriko shook hands with Jill as well. "Greetings, Ms. Valentine. Detective Eriko Aizawa from the National Police Agency."

"Please, just call me Jill. I insist."

"Who are these guys by the way?" Leon asked Jill, using his thumb to refer to Martin and the others.

"I'm temporarily assigned to the Center by the way." Jill explained. "Martin Mystery, Diana Lombard, Java and Fujino Asagami. I'm helping them with the case related to the cult." Jill introduced Martin and the others to Leon and company.

"Hey!"

"Hi."

"Hello."

"A pleasure to meet you all."

"He's acting like a caveman." Kevin whispered to Leon about Java when he introduced himself.

"Yeah, I know." Leon whispered back. "But he's on our side, so he could come in handy."

"Could be."

"Since we're cut off from civilization." Chun-Li told the gathered group. "I think it's in our best interest to investigate the village and find out any important clues we can use against Los Illuminados."

"Right. I agree with you." Leon nodded. "Let's move."

Leon and Kevin led the way, drawing out their sidearms. Jill and Eriko followed the two agents with their own sidearms drawn out.

The I-Cutters and the X-Rod used by Martin, Fujino and Diana dematerialized as they went with the others. Java kept his pace up with the Center agents as Cammy and Chun-Li guarded their backs. On their way, they searched the house and the places where the corpses were outside for anything useful. So far, they obtained some pesetas and a box of handgun ammo, which puzzled Leon, Kevin, Jill and Eriko.

"One thing Kevin." Leon asked Kevin. "Where'd you learn to speak Spanish?"

"Does spending time with the Cuban community in Miami count?" Kevin told Leon.

Leon kept silent.


Shed, somewhere in Spain


The group stopped by some shed that was on the trail, seeing some rectangular boxes on a table and on the shelves.

"What's with those boxes?" Diana commented, seeing them inside.

"Better take a look." Leon drew out his Mercworx Sniper combat knife from a reversible knife sheath on his combat harness hidden underneath his bomber jacket. He smashed them open with the combat knife, revealing pesetas, a Green herb and a box of handgun ammo.

"I'll take that." Jill took the handgun ammo box.

"What's with those coins anyway?" Martin mused as the pesetas were taken.

"I don't know." Diana told her stepbrother. "Well Spain is using the Euro with the rest of the EU. The area's probably isolated so much that they didn't change their currency."

"Got a green herb too." Leon showed Jill and Kevin something familiar.

"Pretty useful there, partner." Kevin grinned at Leon.

"Well, I'm fine right now so I'll keep this guy just in case."

The group continued on their walk, hoping that it can lead them somewhere. When they found the signpost with the skull attached, they didn't feel good and wondered what kind of person would have done that in the first place.


On Trail, somewhere in Spain


Cammy motioned to the group to stop, helping a dog get out of the foothold trap. It barked twice before moving to the forest.

"Didn't know you were into dogs." Martin said, seeing Cammy free the dog.

"Well I love cats." The British woman told Martin. "Seeing it in that trap reminded me of my free time when I play around with cats. It eases my stress levels."

"Right."

A sign found on the side said EL PUEBLO with the arrow pointing straight ahead.

"The village is up ahead." Eriko told the others.

"Thanks, Eriko." Leon thanked Eriko, keeping an eye out for hostiles ahead of them.

The group continued walking, no hostile villager up ahead. In fact, it seemed to be this way until Leon and Kevin advised them to stop completely.

"What is it?" Jill asked.

Kevin pointed to the culprit: It was electrical cable, serving as the trip wire, tied to two bunches of dynamite on two trees.

"Looks like they got the red carpet." Leon said, observing the rigged trees.

"¡Allí son!"

"Looks like we're spotted."

Three villagers charged in towards the group. One of them was moving in on the group, being very near the rigged trees.

"I'll do this!" Cammy charged in towards the villager, using a Spiral Arrow. "Take that!"

The rigged trees were blown up when the villager was knocked off towards the tripwire, blowing the dynamite up and knocking off the other two down.

Leon and Kevin fired their pistols at the downed villagers until they keeled over.

"That ought to do it." Leon said.

"I agree." Kevin shared the same sentiment.

"What's with the bodies melting?" Leon saw the bodies of the villagers melt away. "Not all of the villagers we killed died like that."

"That is a good question." Jill told him. "I guess if we find Ashley and bring down whoever kidnapped her, we'll probably know why they die like that."

"We better move." Cammy said after she searched the dead villagers only for pesetas. The group moved on as they walked the trail, stopping on another shed for Leon to collect pesetas and ammo for Kevin's Glock 21 Mariner as it handles .45 ACP.

"Strange..." Kevin muttered as he took the handgun ammo box. "Why's this village having these things? I know in parts of Europe that 9mm Para for instance is not allowed due to its status as a security force round." Leon took another green herb.

"We don't have time to contemplate on that." Jill reminded Kevin. "Better concentrate on this case instead."

"You're right, Jill. Sorry"


In another part of the forest, two armed figures were running towards the direction of the village on higher ground. So far, they were not detected by the villagers. If any of them tried to look at the trees, they simply passed it off as the wind being responsible for the noise in the forest and not due to human activity.


On Trail, somewhere in Spain


"Looks like this part of the mission's a cakewalk."

Martin grinned when he was walking with the rest of the group.

"There's another bridge." Fujino pointed to the others.

"With the welcome wagon." Cammy said, watching three villagers come at them with axes.

Chun-Li took the initiative, executing a strong Kikoken to knock one of them off ground and onto the ravine.

Jill fired a few shots from her pistol on the second villager, stunning him. This gave her enough time to do a cartwheel kick to knock him out.

Java joined in the fight, using his fists only to smack the third villager. When he got up again, Fujino uttered "Bend" to distort him by twisting his body that he was not recognizable.

"Ugh..." Martin felt a bit sick. "Maybe you ought to cut that out, Fujino."

"She can actually do that?" Leon was amazed to see Fujino with a psychic skill.

"It's a long story." Diana told the ex-SPF officer. "And I'm not kidding when I say that it's a long story."

"Let's go." Kevin told the others, leading the group across the bridge. He walked slowly as he didn't want to fall off should the wooden bridge move around a lot. I hate these bridges.

"Java no like bridge." The caveman had a hard time walking on the bridge. Considering that it swayed a bit from left to right was not a good sign. The others did so at least, moving carefully on the wooden bridge.

"I agree, Java-san." Fujino did not like the fact that the bridge was made from wood and rope, two things that can be easily destroyed if one would use the right weapons, powers or equipment.

They moved on once again onto another shed. Martin drew out his I-Cutter and smashed the crates to get another box of .45 ACP ammo and pesetas. The blonde teen got it while Kevin collected the ammo.

"Thanks, kiddo." Kevin thanked Martin.

"No problem." Martin replied to the brown-haired man.

After getting back on the trail once more, a huge gate that had a staff insignia on it.

"Look." Chun-Li pointed out to Leon and Kevin. "That insignia. I saw it in an INTERPOL report before I went here."

"Our next destination, I take it?" Cammy said.

"Seems like it."

Java and Kevin moved in towards the double gate doors. They both grabbed a metal ring used to open one of the gate doors and slowly pulled it.

"The village." Leon said, aiming his Silver Ghost up ahead.

"Seems to be normal." Diana said, seeing nothing unusual. "At least it seems to be."

"We better check." Chun-Li checked, honing her detective instinct. "I'm not liking this at all."

Leon nodded in agreement, leading the group first as he went through the opened gate.


El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


Java and Kevin closed the gate carefully behind them without drawing any kind of attention towards them now that they were inside the outskirts of the El Pueblo or Village in English.

The group walked towards the village when Leon motioned to them to stick by the trees. While doing so, he took out a pair of binoculars. Seeing something by the fire in the center of the village, Leon zoomed in and was shocked to see what it is.

"Something up?" Kevin whispered before he took out his own binoculars.

"Yeah. And it's not that pretty to see."

"Anything?" Cammy asked, being next to Leon and Kevin.

"Have a look." Leon handed Cammy the binoculars. "Scope out the big fire in the middle and you'll see."

Cammy did so as told by Leon, taking the binoculars from him. "My god."

"What's happening?" Jill was looking at the fire as well.

"Two of our missing Guardia Civil officers are in that fire." Cammy told Jill. "That includes being in the stake like the witch-hunts of old."

The others felt sorry for the deceased officers after hearing the news.

"Why would they do such a thing?" Diana said to herself, looking at the fire.

"Had a feeling that they're under someone's influence." Martin told his stepsister. "Probably gave them the order to do so."

Kevin scanned the church-like building and stared at the entrance.

"The entrance has the same insignia." Kevin told the others.

"Is that where they congregate?" Chun-Li asked the agent.

"Guess so." Kevin replied. "Thing is, where do we start from here? We obviously can't go in there blazing since we could be surrounded in a matter of seconds."

"Now that's a good question." Jill told Kevin, looking around if there is something they can do.

"Should we do a distraction, Jill-san?" Fujino asked the woman.

"There are a lot of hiding places we can use around this village." Cammy advised.


The two armed figures silently infiltrated the village, using the houses for cover as they made their way to the tower. Once they confirmed that they were able to get in the tower without being compromised in any way, the two began to climb upward the tower via wooden ladder fast as they don't want to be caught if they lingered around.


"Hold on a second here." Leon had barely caught a glimpse of the two men who had infiltrated the village and into the tower. He got the binoculars again and checked the tower entrance. Did I just see someone?

"Something wrong?" Cammy asked Leon if something was wrong.

"Strange. Thought I saw two people infiltrating the place like some kinda commando."

"We could do that." Jill suggested to Leon. "As long as we're not spotted."

"I'll have to agree." Kevin agreed with Jill's suggestion. "I don't think we can hold out for a big firefight."

After a few minutes of thinking it over, Leon told the group. "All right. But we'll need to head someplace else to get out of the village area."

"Thing is, we need to sort this place out." Cammy told Leon. "I'm not sure if we'll even find a proper exit out of here."

Leon agreed with Cammy. "So where do we start?"

"Alguien está ahí!"


Control Room, somewhere in Spain


"So you guys know what to do..." Krauser told Geki and Kei. "You two will keep our incoming heroes busy when the time comes and I'll secure the Plaga sample from Saddler when he doesn't even know it."

"And how will Wesker be able to exfiltrate us out of this place?" Geki told Krauser. "You know that the plan can backfire any minute now."

"Relax. I've got a plan or two that can help us get outta here should times go FUBAR."

"Hopefully you are right." Kei told Krauser.


El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


"Alguien está ahí!"

The group saw that the villagers were looking at the tower up ahead next to the church.

"What's happening?" Martin asked as he saw the villager congregate towards the structure with much hostility.

"There." Jill whispered, pointing to the tower where two figures were seen.

"What the heck are they doing?" Leon whispered, watching the two figures brandish an assault rifle and a shotgun. "Holy shit..."

The two armed figures opened fire at the congregating villagers from the safety of the tower after one of them had attempted to hurl dynamite before it was shot up, blowing him and some of the other villagers to pieces literally.

"Looks like we can use them to sneak past." Kevin gave a suggestion.

"All right everyone. Stick close and be careful." Leon told the others, moving first as they attempted to sneak past the crowd and the gunfight via the back portion of the houses to avoid being caught.

"Let's go." Eriko called on the rest, moving behind as they infiltrated the village via the back route on the left of the main road they were in a while ago.

"I hope they were able to give much distraction." Chun-Li whispered. A minute later, they heard grenades blowing up nearby.

"Looks like that's a yes." Kevin grinned at Chun-Li.

The group was successful in using the back as the villagers were being picked off by gunfire.

"Whoever they are, they're pretty good." Fujino commented as they had passed the barn without any incident. Looks like the back route's already working.

A few minutes later, the sounds of gunfire began to increase as the group began to pass through the first house they saw without any incident again.

"Second house up ahead." Cammy told the group, being the first to take the lead from Leon this time.

It seems that things were going to do well.

Until the sound of something beeping was coming from the group.


Control Room, somewhere in Spain


"Ah, greetings to you all." A blonde ponytailed woman in her late 40s arrived inside the control room. "I hope I didn't keep you all waiting." She had a red, black and yellow suit jacket with red pants and black and yellow boots.

"Who are you?" Geki was wondering who the ponytailed woman.

"Allow me to introduce myself." The ponytailed woman replied. "My name is Octavia Paine and I'm the founder and head of the CIHL."

"The Creature Intelligence Hybrid Laboratory?" Krauser raised an eyebrow at Octavia. "Heard your story and all was that your an ex-Center agent went rogue after you didn't look at your agent evaluation that well."

"I thought the CIHL stood for the Creative Institute of Higher Learning?" Kei asked Octavia, confused at the abbreviation she mentioned.

"Ah." Octavia said. "That's just for cover, mind you." She faced Krauser. "Now I believed I was summoned here for a reason?"

"Just letting you know that Wesker wants the Plaga sample secured. He's also letting you know that he's looking forward to whatever resources you got to help us pull off the job."

"That can taken care of." Octavia reassured Krauser. "I've gotten some... assets ready for that eventuality."

"Then I'll assume that the anti-paranormal agency got some people already in Spain?"

"Indeed. I've got a mole in the Center who informed me on that."

"Wesker's got some people involved as well, but we'll need a bigger picture on who's in besides the Secret Service based on good info from a mole of ours. I won't be surprised if Wesker got someone too from the Center."

"The only thing to do is to wait and see for the hero to expose himself to save President Graham's daughter." Kei told the others inside the control room.


El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


The beeping sound everyone heard in the village came from the direction of Martin's U-Watch.

"Doesn't that thing have a silent function or something?" Diana angrily asked her stepbrother.

"I don't know if MOM debriefed me on that." Martin sighed when he told his stepsister. "Never had been in this kind of situation before."

"Great." Kevin wanted to give Martin a lesson by shouting at him for failing the rule of stealth: Making noise.

"¡Ahí está!"

Some of the villagers began to approach them from the front. Leon motioned to them to move back until they can find a way out.

"Here." Fujino whispered, pointing to the others a path out from the back.

Martin covertly pressed a button twice on his U-Watch.

"Looks like we got no choice but to move out fast and quick before we're mincemeat." Kevin told Leon, glancing at the back to see a few more villagers advancing at their rear with sickles and more dynamite.

Unlit ones that is.

"Now that our cover's blown."

When Leon took another glance at the back while moving away from some of the advancing villagers, he noted that most of them had a clear path away.

"MOVE!"

Leon raised his Silver Ghost and he aimed the laser sight mounted underneath the pistol at one of the villagers by the forehead...


On Center Bell Boeing CV-22B, en route to El Pueblo, somewhere in Spanish airspace


"Apologies for the trouble, agents." MOM's face was seen in a holographic projection from an O-Watch, which is only issued to Center agents assigned to SHADOW, its black ops division known in the underworld and in law enforcement for doing missions against criminal/terrorist elements known to be using alien/paranormal items or collaborating with such entities.

"But Billy found out that our portal system was not working after you two were sent to our Spanish base. So far now, we'll have to drop you into the village from our tiltrotor aircraft where we last noted Martin's location."

"A bug?" Dan raised an eyebrow after hearing what MOM said. "So how are we going to know Martin's position? Does his U-Watch have a tracking device or something that we can utilize?"

He wore the BDU of the Indonesian Army Raider's RAIDERS Digital Camouflage, complete with tac vest and a holster strapped on his right leg in the same camo type. A compact assault rifle was seen slinged on his left shoulder.

MOM sighed. "After that incident with the CIHL and all, I held an emergency meeting with other Center officers and that was among the recommendations passed to make work in the field a bit better. However, the tracking bug is activated only when the agent using the U-Watch presses it in time of need. All SHADOW agents have no need for it since a tracking bug is activated always 24/7 to immediately respond back and forth from the Center should the need arise."

The black-haired woman stared at her console before she replied. "It seems that Martin was able to use the bug in time, so we're deploying you two to a specific location in the Spanish countryside."

"Is this in the test phase?"

"It is for the time being."

Sounds kinda creepy to me if I can say so myself.

"Is there anything else, MOM?"

The voice came from another SHADOW agent who was seated inside the tiltrotor as it made its way to the village, head down facing the ground even though his head was clad in a balaclava. In addition, he wore a JGSDF Type II Flecktarn camouflage BDU with a tac vest as well and a holster on his left leg in the same camo type. A compact assault rifle was also seen on his lap. The said agent had a Green Singaporean Army Infantry beret on over his balaclava-clad head.

"After we drop you into the area, both of you are ordered to remain in radio silence for the meantime until we contact you or Martin? Is that clear?"

Dan nodded. "Understood, MOM. Agent Dan out."

"So we're deployed at last." The balaclava-clad SHADOW agent sighed. "Least I'll get my revenge on Krauser for the time I was in COSMOS."

"Is that why you agreed to this mission, Mark?" Dan asked his colleague seriously.

Mark sighed. "Partial would be the answer."

"As expected, going around the quest..."

"But I'm also going to get rid of their so-called plaga if it does exists according to rumors. During my time in ARCAM, they found evidence of its existence but did no investigation due to lack of evidence need to take action."

Idealistic, but at the same time also willing to play a role in global stability.

"Well we got a few more minutes 'till we make the drop." Dan told Mark. "Hopefully Martin and company are still alive before we even get there."

One of the flight engineers told the two SHADOW agents that they are nearing their destination.

"Looks like we'll get some action." Mark told Dan.

"Hopefully." Dan had already loaded a 30-round magazine onto his slinged SIG Sport 552 semi-auto compact assault rifle when he pulled the bolt back to load a single 5.56 NATO bullet into the chamber. "Isn't that why we're being deployed?"

"You're on to talk, mate." Mark got ready a Heckler & Koch G36C compact assault rifle, which was outfitted with a carry handle/Bundeswehr dual sights accessory mounted on the upper receiver instead of its picatinny upper receiver.


El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


"MOVE! Scatter!"

That was the signal Leon gave to the group to move out to become less of a target from the villagers as they had access to dynamite. With a few good aims, the villagers could take the intruders before they had a good chance to fight back.

Martin led Diana and the other Center agents, including Fujino, as they moved towards the two-story house nearby via broken window nearby thanks to the dynamite. Thanks to the gunfire the armed men were using back in the tower, most of the attacking villagers were cut down. But it won't be long before help would arrive.

As for Leon, he told Kevin, Jill and Eriko to head through a small barn with another doorway at the back to confuse the villagers before joining Martin in the two-story house. Meanwhile, Cammy and Chun-Li decided to stick together and fight off the villagers by using the house next to the barn in order to confuse them.

"Over there!" Cammy shouted as she led Chun-Li towards the house.

It was only a matter of them before Leon and company would be overwhelmed by the villagers if they didn't do anything to fight in order to survive this day.


On Center Bell-Boeing CV-22B, en route to El Pueblo, somewhere in Spanish airspace


"We're arriving at our destination in 3 minutes!" The flight engineer yelled at Dan and Mark. The latter gave his thumbs up while he slinged his G36C.

"Ready?" Mark asked Dan.

"That's an interesting question to ask a fellow SHADOW agent after all, Mark." Dan chuckled. "Of course I am."

"As I am too."

The two agents began to stand up from their seats after being told of their progress.

"Can't wait to exercise out there in the field again."

"Now you're on to talk there, Dan."

"2 minutes!" The flight engineer gave the the two SHADOW agents a time update.


Tower, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


"Looks like the other people on the ground are having problems battling them."

"You're on to talk Ominae."

"Come on werewolf boy, you think we're the ones responsible for that mess when the villagers tried to attack us and stuff?"

"..."

"Thought so, Jean."

Yu Ominae and Jean Jacquemonde, two ARCAM Spriggan operatives from Japan and France, had been battling against the villagers for some time now before Leon got involved. They fired a Heckler and Koch G3A4 and a Franchi SPAS-12 at the villagers from the safety of the tower.

"So what do we do?" Jean asked Yu as he fired the SPAS-12 down from the tower to distract the villagers while Yu took aim at their heads before he fired the 7.62 NATO-based assault rifle.

"We'll need to fight them from here." Yu told Jean. "But I don't think we can stay here forever. The others down there will need our help."

"Ideas?"

Yu knelt down to reload his assault rifle. "Well don't ya have superhuman strength and all that jazz? I bet that can come in handy right now seeing that the villagers aren't giving up until we're dead."

Jean smirked. "Leave that to me."

The Japanese university student/Spriggan operative watched Jean leap from the floor they're on from the tower. He also noted that Jean was wearing his bomber jacket that had the rank of First Sergeant with a white shirt, olive green BDU pants and black Altama boots. The only thing Yu wore was his Armored Muscle Suit, combat boots, tac vest and a red boxing headgear-type helmet, which was customized to have comms gear including a microphone on the right side of the helmet.

"Great. He's going for that again." Yu sighed as he aimed the newly reloaded assault rifle towards a villager who was about to light up the dynamite in his left hand.

"Not today..." Yu whispered, firing the weapon when they dynamite was lit up. It took out a number of villagers with him. The Japanese operative stopped firing when he watched Jean begin his beatings towards the villagers, starting with using the SPAS-12's folding buttstock as a melee weapon to knock out a villager with a sickle before the Frenchman used either his weapon or his evasion skills to duck and dodge the farming tools meant for his body.

"I just hope nothing's gonna happen this time..." Yu began to sling the G3A4 on his back as he began to use the ladder to get back down on the ground. "In the meantime, better use the distraction for more further distraction."


Two-Story House, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain


"Quickly! Help me barricade the main entrance!"

Leon said as he was being helped by Martin to push a bureau towards the main entrance to block the villagers from getting inside. The windows on the ground floor were barred with wooden planks nailed to block anyone from getting in. Once that was done, he told Java to put another bureau to block the main door while he gathered as much 9mm ammo as possible with some grenades to arm himself. Fujino and Diana were upstairs to scout ahead if it was safe.

First bullets. And then grenades. What the heck's going on here?

The ex-SPF officer got upstairs to the second floor by the time he had rearmed himself with enough 9mm bullets, he grabbed the Remington 870 shotgun mounted on the corkboard for display. It has a wooden buttstock and pump action grip.

"I'll be taking this." After checking the shotgun was still working by pumping the weapon three times in rapid fast succession, Leon decided to arm himself with this. Brings back memories. "Least this shotgun still works."

"Here." Diana handed a box of shotgun shells. "Thought you might need this since you got that shotgun."

"Thanks, Diana." Leon took the box from here and began to load up the 870 as fast as he can. The barricaded door and windows were doing a good job in keeping the villagers back. But it won't be long before they're able to get inside and kill all of them.

"They're coming!" Fujino told Leon after she scouted the outskirts from the windows overlooking the center of the village and the roof nearby. She saw a few of them preparing to get a ladder ready while a few more villagers on the roof were pounding on the window in order to get it to break.

"I'm loaded!" Leon said after he loaded the last 12 gauge shell into the 870's magazine tube, he pumped the shotgun to load a shell to get it ready.

Diana noted that the villagers were about to raise up the ladder. "They're getting ready to breach the house!"

Leon shouldered the 870 after Diana had given him a warning. They're really serious about killing us without any second thought.

After the ladder was brought up, the window near the bed was smashed completely.

"They're breaching the place!" Leon shouted. Fujino dashed in and pushed the ladder out from the window to prevent the villagers from getting inside. She heard the yells as they went down. They're down, but not dead.

"Bend." Fujino said softly, destroying the ladder in order to delay them. It seems that my rehabilitation time in the Center is doing well. I don't need a walking cane anymore after what happened with Shiki-san.

A few minutes, Leon and everyone else hostile to the villagers heard the sound of a chainsaw being revved up.

"Is that a chainsaw?" Martin came up the steps after he heard the chainsaw from downstairs. "'Cause if that is a chainsaw, we're now in big trouble in so many ways."

"Java not liking this at all." Java said, being fearful of the sound.

"Now what?" Leon groaned after he heard the chainsaw being revved up again one more time.

Great. If we don't do something about this mess we're in, we're all going to die before we can begin the search for Ashley and bring her home.

Chapter 1 END


PS - Finally I was able to get this through. No thanks to forum RPs, real life and university. I was influenced partially by Resident Evil: Devil's Crossroads in doing this fic primarily. Thought it was cool to do another one aside from another fic which had Leon team up with a Predator to take on Los Illuminados. So to you readers out there, are there any RE4/5 fics that has the main protagonist/s team up with other characters to fight against the big bad? If so let me know the title so's I can read them up.

Let me know the first chapter went yeah? Thanks. For details prior to this story, read Agents and The Woman first before reading this, okay? Thanks. If anyone bothers me on details regarding the story and stuff, I'll probably ignore any messages about it. Also feel free to check out Being Careful, a What If story if HUNK was able to secure the G-Virus successfully from Birkin. Another story I got out there is Crisis, a story where Sergei decides to deploy Umbrella's security forces to Raccoon City from the events leading to Resident Evil 2 and 3. Has a mix of characters from the games to the novels and the first three RE movies that I don't like, but only decided to get the characters for fic writing purposes.

The flail portrayed here is used for agricultural purposes though.

Also I found out that DSO is the Division of Security Operations and it's canon for RE6, which is the organization Leon works for after RE2.
