Chapter 2: Under Siege
Near Double Door Barn, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Kevin, Jill and Eriko got through the double door barn, getting in from the front and back while passing by a cow that simply didn't care about the chaos happening in the Pueblo right now. Despite being in a battle, it seemed the weather was clear. The supposed STARS candidate and now DSO operative didn't expect the inhabitants of an entire village go at him simple because he, Leon and company were asking around.
"I will probably never watch a horror movie ever in my life..." Kevin said, covering Jill and Eriko with his Glock 21 Mariner in order to prevent the villagers from ambushing them. "Not after Raccoon City."
"I share your sentiment there, Kevin." Jill held her Beretta Px4 Type F in a Weaver-type grip.
"We're being cut off!" Eriko shouted, aiming her Sig Sauer P228 at one of the villagers armed with a kitchen knife after a few of them ran after them, passing by the cow. The three of them had their backs facing each other as a few of them were closing in on them.
"Dammit!" Kevin fired the Glock 21 at a villager's left kneecap. It forced him to kneel while grabbing his leg. He moved in to execute a sharp front kick on the villager, being knocked over as he tumbled onto another villager behind him.
Eriko fired her P228 at a knife-armed villager, stunning her by grabbing her nose. Jill rushed in, holstering her sidearm and did a cartwheel. The villager's head was grabbed before Jill used her legs to send the villager down on the ground. This followed with a foot stomp to the head.
The Japanese detective fired her pistol at one more villager, who was about to throw an axe at her when the villager's head exploded.
What the? Eriko was startled when it happened.
"That was... interesting." Jill said, seeing the head explode.
"Let's move." Kevin told the other two, moving away from the barn. Jill and Eriko nodded, following Kevin.
Two-Story House, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"What do we do?" Diana asked Leon as the barricade downstairs was breaking apart, coupled with the chainsaw being handled outside.
Leon tried to ponder their situation in less than a minute. On one hand, they could stay here inside for a few more minute. On the other hand, it won't be long before that chainsaw-wielding villager would bust in and cut them up. Something Leon and the others don't want to experience.
"Can you barricade that window?" Leon asked Java and pointed the broken window near the bed.
"Java can do it." Java grabbed the bureau with the case that had its glass busted after Leon broke it. The Center agent and caveman brought the bureau to the broken window and brought it down from his muscular arms in front of it to prevent access to the second floor.
"¿Qué carajos estás haciendo aquí? ¡Lárgate, cabrón!" The ex-SPF officer and the Center agents heard the villagers shouting at them, as if they were being taunted.
Suddenly, the only window not barricaded in the second floor was smashed open.
"Behind us!" Martin said, getting his I-Cutter ready.
Leon shouldered the Remington 870, which was already loaded. He aimed the Police Model's 24/7 Express Shotgun Sights at the villagers trying to climb through the window before the shotgun's trigger was pulled. Diana, Martin, Fujino and Java covered their ears as they were close to him.
"We need to move!" Leon advised the Center agents. "Staying here is too risky!" He moved in at the window, blasting the villagers with buckshot rounds to clear the way. Once it was okay to get out, he gestured to Martin that it was safe to do so.
As Martin assisted Diana and Fujino to get out, Leon and Java heard the door downstairs was busted thanks to the chainsaw.
"Dammit." Leon hissed as Martin and Java got out of the room, the Center agents jumping down to the ground since it was safe to do so without the risk of breaking their legs. Leon followed, taking some shotgun shell boxes with him as it was his main weapon right now.
Near Fire, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Jean had aimed his Franchi SPAS-12 at the villager who had a potato sack worn over his head with eyeholes on it, armed with a chainsaw. The French Spriggan operative fired the assault shotgun at him in close range, only knocking him down but killing off a few villagers near him.
Yu was in support of Jean with his Armored Muscle Suit activated while firing his Heckler & Koch G3A4 battl rifle. A villager had tried to stab him with the sickle on his stomach. Unfortunately for her, the sickle blade didn't pierce his Orihalcon-made suit and instead, Yu whacked her with the German-made rifle's collapsible buttstock to send her on the ground. Thanks to his lycanthrope origins, Jean used his superhuman strength and speed to execute the coup de grâce on any downed villagers hit by the buckshots when they were downed.
"Take this!" shouted the Japanese Spriggan operative, doing a foot stomp on his own. The villager's head exploded as the stomp occurred.
"What's with this place?" Yu murmured, shouldering the G3A4.
"What are you doing Ominae?" Jean shouted, firing his SPAS-12 at the chainsaw-wielding man known as Doctor Salvador to the locals before dashing back to a great distance to avoid being killed by the chainsaw. It instead killed off a villager standing nearby by slicing him horizontally at the neck.
"Nothing." Yu replied, aiming the assault rifle's iron sights.
On Center Bell-Boeing CV-22B, en route to El Pueblo, somewhere in Spanish airspace
"1 more minute, guys!"
Dan and Mark nodded at the flight engineer as they were closing in on their destination. The Village where Leon and the company were now battling the villagers intent on killing them for good.
"Ready?" Dan asked Mark after installing an Aimpoint red dot sight on the picatinny receiver of his SIG Sport 552.
"You bet I am." Mark grinned. He had his beret worn over his balaclava-clad head before the two exchanged fistbumps with each other. "But I got a question? Do we HALO or HAHO to the area?"
"I..." The Malaysian Chinese SHADOW agent thought about his comrade. "I kinda forgot."
Mark sighed.
Isn't this great?
House, next to Double Door Barn, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Cammy and Chun-Li have been inside the house by the main entrance, barricading the main entrance after dealing with a couple of pitchfork-armed villagers by using their kicks while aimed to quiet them down permanently after hitting their temples.
"Barricaded the place." Cammy said, pointing to the bureaus placed in front of the main door with her right thumb. "They won't be bothering up for a while."
"Just to be safe." Chun-Li advised the Delta Red operative. "Let's go and check the next room."
"Of course." Cammy nodded, allowing Chun-Li to lead the way. As the two stacked up near the door, they heard glass breaking from the next room.
What's that? Chun-Li frowned as she slowly opened the door. It was a bedroom.
With some unwanted visitors to boot.
"Look out!" Chun-Li shouted, seeing a villager lunging at Cammy with a kitchen knife. Chun-Li grabbed the knife-wielding hand and twisted it to let the villager drop it. She then decided to use her spike bracelet to strike at the villager's left temple.
Nicely done...
Cammy watched Chun-Li used her spike bracelet pierce the villager's left temple. She went for the second villager already inside the room. Due to a lack of space, the blonde woman went for a Axle Spin Knuckle. The second villager was hit in the face and was downed.
"Damn this lack of space." Cammy muttered. She and Chun-Li were on their guard when the second villager got up. Cammy went for a foot sweep to knock him down once again before Chun-Li finished him off with an axe kick.
Near Two-Story House, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Martin and Fujino engaged the villagers by using their I-Cutters to disarm them of weapons before going for an attack on their heads after seeing Leon kill them by firing his 870, blowing some of their heads away. Java was on hand to provide the muscle by finishing off any downed villager who was not killed by his feet.
"ERAH!" Java shouted as he stepped on their heads, seeing them shout in pain before they die and melt off.
Diana, on the other hand, used Martin's X-Rod and made it to a quarterstaff. She went to disarming the villagers first before using the staff to attack them before Leon fired the shotgun at them.
"Don't these guys..." Diana felt fatigue getting to her body. "know when to quit it?"
"Afraid they don't give up!" Leon said, shouldering the shotgun after he had reloaded it to full capacity with 8 rounds inside the magazine tube. He fired it to kill off a few villagers.
Jean and Yu were positioned close to them, getting away from Dr. Salvador after he was fired upon by 7.62 NATO bullets and buckshots.
"He doesn't give up!" Jean shouted, reloading his SPAS-12. Yu did the same thing to his G3A4 while Dr. Salvador was closing him.
Leon fired the shotgun at Dr. Salvador's legs, getting him to kneel.
A few minutes later, Cammy and Chun-Li were near the two Spriggans after they got out of the house next to the double door barn.
"It's only him now!" Chun-Li told Cammy, seeing that most of the villagers were killed off except the potato sack-wearing man. She rushed in towards the kneeling Dr. Salvador, feeling some temporary pain over being shot in the legs from Leon's shotgun blast.
"Here goes!" The INTERPOL officer was now near the kneeling mad doctor. "Tenshokyaku!" She began to execute several diagonal kicks at Dr. Salvador into the air even though he still held onto his chainsaw. When he was downed, Chun-Li followed her Tenshokyaku with the Yoso Kyaku to strike the downed doctor at his forehead. She did this with emphasis on striking Dr. Salvador's forehead very hard.
Kevin, Jill and Eriko were heading to the fire pit after they dispatched the villagers themselves in time to see Cammy go for her CQC aka Cammy's Quick Combination, a series of CQC attacks she developed after her indoctrination into Delta Red.
"Here's a present for you." Cammy taunted Dr. Salvador after he raised the chainsaw at her since she was in front of him. Instead, she went for the offensive by getting on his shoulders and snapping his neck. "Easy." She said in a cold tone.
The doctor felt darkness clouding his vision before Cammy took him down and snapped his right arm. Afterwards, she grabbed his neck and twisted it again before she uttered, "It's all over."
On Center Bell-Boeing CV-22B, en route to El Pueblo, somewhere in Spanish airspace
"We've arrived!" The flight engineer told the SHADOW agents, now over the village as the CV-22B's ramp was lowered. One of the engineers quickly moved in towards the mounted M240 GPMG on the loading ramp as Leon saw another horde of villagers moving in with weapons at the ready. A piece of lit dynamite was chucked near him, detonating without harming and the others.
"GO! GO! GO!" The engineer shouted, firing the M240 at the advancing villagers as Dan and Mark rappelled down the CV-22B. The latter was the first to touch down on the ground, gesturing to the engineer that he and Dan made it safely. After the two exchanged salutes, the rappel ropes was removed from the tiltrotor as it retreated.
As the tiltrotor retreated, the surviving villagers stopped from whatever they were doing and left Leon and the others alone, moving towards the local church with the metal door before the last man closed the door behind and locked it up.
Somewhere on church, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
An Asian woman wearing a red dress and high heel shoes grinned when the bells were ringing for the past minute or so. The 30-year old woman got a hold of her smartphone after she noted that someone was calling her.
"I would take it that ringing the bell worked, Ada?" A blonde man with his face concealed in shades asked Ada on her status when she answered the call.
"It did work. That ought to keep them busy for a little longer, Wesker." Ada Wong told Albert Wesker on the other line. "But there is something I should add."
"Oh?" Wesker was a bit interested in what Ada had to say.
"In addition to the Secret Service, it seems that Delta Red, INTERPOL and the Japanese National Police Agency are involved in the mix." Better keep Leon's presence out for now.
"I see. That may complicate things later on." Wesker replied. "But right now, I got word that the ARCAM Corporation and the Center are also involved with Los Illuminados and the hunt for their parasite."
"I understand the ARCAM Corporation if they want to destroy anything dangerous from old civilizations like the Noah's Ark in Turkey, but the Center?" Ada was confused. "I thought they were an anti-alien and paranormal secret agency."
"It seems that the Center's gotten on the anti-B.O.W. hunt after Raccoon City." Wesker answered Ada. "Given that they now have an anti-terrorist capability from the 1990s. Regardless, you need to treat everyone involved in the investigation as dangerous."
"Dangerous?" Ada was confused as to what Wesker meant when he said the d word.
"We've got Raccoon City survivors, Street Fighters, teenage paranormal detective brats, a detective from the NPA, Spriggan operatives fighting to get to the parasite and dispose of them as ancient B.O.W.s and a couple of this so-called SHADOW agents deployed to conduct a black operation in Spain." Wesker explained to Ada the people involved. "I'll send you data on the personnel to give you a better understanding on the situation."
"Much obliged, Wesker."
"Don't forget that you will need to meet Kenneth later. I hope you didn't forget that he's your contact between him and Los Illuminados."
Ada grinned. "Of course not."
Near Fire Pit, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Dan and Mark exchanged greetings with Martin and the others. Java gave the two a big hug that they told him to put them down. Leon and Kevin noted that the villagers went away.
"They went bingo?" Leon sighed, raising his arms in frustration.
"You tell me." Kevin replied.
"Java very sorry." The caveman placed the two SHADOW agents down, not seeing Leon and Kevin's frustrations.
"Quite alright." Mark told Java.
"So who are you two?" Cammy asked Dan and Mark, seeing that they were wearing camo uniforms and all.
"We're from the Center." Dan told Cammy. "Specifically, the SHADOW division."
Cammy and Chun-Li were a bit alarmed since SHADOW reminded them of Shadowlaw.
"Specialist Hazard Agent Designated Operations Wing." Mark explained. "We do things that either the Center doesn't want to do that the underworld will catch on..." He then pointed to Martin and the other Center agents with his left index finger. "or we assist them by being their muscle."
Next time I'll get a sign and point to people about it...
"That's quite a mouthful." Kevin commented. "But quite interesting nevertheless."
"Since the villagers aren't coming back," Martin told Leon. "how's about some of us search the place and see what we can get?"
"Good idea." Leon told Martin. "Let's go everyone!"
Later, most of the group have begun to split up in order to look around the village leaving Dan and Mark behind.
"So what now?" Dan asked as he watched Mark tossed the rappel ropes into the fire pit thanks to the artificial muscles on his Armored Machine Suit.
"We'll see."
A few minutes later, a woman in her 20s wearing a beret, a black waterproof jacket with hood and hiking boots arrived in the village. She was followed by another person dressed in camos with a tac vest on and a beret over his balaclava-clad head.
"It seems reinforcements had arrived in time."
Inside Village Chief's House, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"I see that you're eager to see me if you're waiting for me here, Kenny." Ada greeted the Chinese-Japanese national with a smile.
"Whatever." Kenneth "Kenny" Feng rolled his eyes when he saw Ada. He was dressed up in a black windbreaker, BDU pants, Altama boots and gloves for this mission with Krauser and a few others. "I was told by Wesker regarding the people involved in the matter."
"Indeed." Ada replied. "It seems the Japanese National Police Agency, INTERPOL, Delta Red, the Center and the ARCAM Corporation are here in Spain, but for different reasons. But enough on that, how are things with Krauser?"
"Not sure." Kenny answered. "Saddler's keeping his distance from Krauser and company, aside from being ready 24/7 for any intruders if they'll come for Ashley Graham."
Ada pondered on what Kenny told her. "Alright. For now, just get back to Krauser. I'll take care of things down here?"
"Right. And I'll cover your presence here. Apparently, the villagers treat me like an ally around these parts."
Near Fire Pit, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"Who is she?" Diana saw Tea speaking to Mark. "And him?" She pointed to the masked, armed person next to her.
"They're with us." Yu told Diana. "ARCAM got us deployed as a four-man team. We got a bit separated."
"Separated my ass!" The beret-clad person shouted at Yu.
"Right..." Yu said, pretending not to hear what he said.
"I'm Tea Flatte by the way." The British Spriggan introduced herself. "A pleasure."
"What did you guys find?" Dan asked as the others regrouped back at the fire pit.
"Found this too." Martin showed Tea a ruby with some Spinels. "Got it from that guy wearing a potato sack on his head..."
Tea swiftly took it from Martin. "I'll hold onto this."
"No worries, Martin." Yu tried to assure him. "I trust her with my life, so it should be okay."
"And don't worry on him." Mark told the others regarding the beret-clad person with Tea. "He's my brother." He moved and clasped him on his right shoulder. "Good to see you, Michael." Mark whispered to avoid giving his real name away.
"Same here too." Michael said, patting him on the left shoulder.
This revelation raised some eyebrows from Jill, Cammy, Chun-Li and Eriko.
"Take a look at this." Fujino showed the group a folder. "I found this during my search of one of the houses..."
Inside Village Chief's House, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Ada checked up on her smartphone and saw an update from Wesker on the various people reported to be deployed in Spain.
How interesting. The Chinese-American spy went over the data provided by Wesker. She began to walk around the room as she checked with the personnel bios.
"Leon Kennedy and Kevin Ryman." She murmured, reading the data. "Ex-RPD SPF officers before they were posted with DSO." Ada smirked. "Nice to see a familiar face." She then moved on to read up on Cammy and Chun-Li's data. "The former's got ties with Shadowlaw before she got amnesia with her recruitment to Delta Red? Quite the story. And Ms. Chun-Li's here as an INTERPOL officer."
Ada continued to read up more when she read up on the Spriggans. "Yu Ominae, Jean Jacquemonde and Tea Flatte. Some of ARCAM's finest are here. Better be careful with them around" She then checked the data on the Center agents sent to Spain. "Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard, stepchildren of Doctor Mystery." Ada frowned when she got a read on Java's data. "A caveman? Something must be wrong."
The spy was confused on Java's data when she decided to check up on the bios of two more people.
"These two are twins." Ada read up on the data with Mark and Michael after seeing that Dan had nothing interesting aside from being one of the Center's earliest SHADOW agents from Malaysia. She had noted that the two had worked with the ARCAM Corporation before the former went back to accept his SHADOW position with the Center.
"COSMOS?" Ada also read up on the twin's past while seeing their photos at a young age decked in olive green BDUs and red berets and wielding HK MP5SD5 submachine guns. "I never expected this..." Krauser must have handed this data to Wesker since he used to be the unit's knife combat instructor.
Ada read up on the full meaning of COSMOS. "COSMOS. Children Of Soldiers Machine Organic System."
Near Fire Pit, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Diana showed the group surveillance photos of them when they weren't in operations.
"How the hell..." Martin was surprised to see a photo of him, Diana and Java somewhere in the downtown core of Montreal.
"This ain't right." Leon saw a photo of him walking down the streets of Washington while Kevin saw his photo taken from somewhere in Miami, eating lunch at a Cuban restaurant.
"Were they expecting us or something?" Chun-Li whispered, seeing a photo of her fighting in the SIN-sponsored Street Fighter tournament.
"It is possible." Cammy got a photo of her petting a child in London. "The cult probably had moles in our organizations to get photos of us while we weren't looking."
Jill and Fujno saw photos of themselves talking somewhere inside the anti-paranormal agency's headquarters. "How were they able to get photos of us?" Fujino wondered, surprised to see the photo in the folder Diana got.
"I'm not liking this at all." Jill said, looking at the photo with Fujino.
"I do not believe this." Eriko saw a photo of herself talking to a fellow plainclothes officer somewhere in the Shinjuku station. "Our presence is already compromised."
Jean was pissed when he saw a photo of himself in Paris. "These bastards will pay!"
"I agree with you, Jean." Yu was furious when he saw a photo of himself walking towards his university.
"It seems that we cannot underestimate our opponents." Tea commented, seeing a photo of her in the main lobby of ARCAM's Philippine branch.
"Dammit!" Dan was angry to see photos of him in downtown Kuala Lumpur. "We need to inform MOM on this! The cult must have moles on their payroll!"
Mark took the folder from Diana, covertly taking the photos of him and his twin brother Michael in high school uniform back in the Philippines before keeping it in his vest. Can't compromise our presence.
"Look at this." Mark got a piece of documents. "It's in Spanish."
"Let me have a look." Eriko read the documents. "According to this, it says that Ashley Graham's being held captive in some church located from the outskirts of this village. In addition, it's also warning everyone here that they need to neutralize us since they don't know who was responsible for our deployment aside from the American government."
"Then that's where we'll go to next." Leon said after hearing Eriko read the document.
"Agents, do you read me?"
The O-Watch of Mark beeped to life, revealing MOM's holographic image.
"Loud and clear." Mark reported. "We were attacked by the villagers before a local church bell made them all stop. And get this, we found photos of us taken in surveillance ops."
"Interesting." MOM replied. "Considering that I didn't authorize them, I fear that Los Illuminados may have had moles in our organizations in order to take action when you guys are around the area."
"I say we burn them all!" Dan shouted at MOM. "We're compromised already and we ought to destroy them before the others find out about us..."
"Agreed. I can't let the cult fully realize that SHADOW agents are in the countryside. Please destroy those photos immediately."
"Understood." Dan took the photos from everyone else and threw them in the fire pit. "Better be safe than sorry." Leon tossed the written order into the fire pit as well.
"Pardon me, MOM." Martin spoke to MOM next. "But did either you or Billy try to contact me with my U-Watch a while ago?"
MOM frowned at this. "I don't recall doing that. Must have been a technical problem with communications. But I did hope that you used the silent function to prevent yourself from being detected."
"ON IT!" Martin quickly got his U-Watch in silent mode.
"Excuse me." Fujino told MOM. "We're about to go and rescue Ashley Graham from the cult's custody before we investigate the cult."
"All right. Go ahead. Meanwhile, radio silence from here on end until we contact you. Be careful out there. Understood?"
"Right!" Mark, Dan, Fujino and Martin replied in unison before the holographic image faded from Mark's O-Watch.
"Nice toys you got there." Kevin grinned, patting Dan's right shoulder. "Does she have one of those?" He asked, using his left thumb to refer to Jill.
"Nah. Heard she's assigned with us temporarily."
"Well, we better move." Leon told the others. "There's a trail near the tower leading to a gate up ahead."
"Let's go." Jill said, walking ahead.
"By the way," Chun-Li looked at the masked persons walking with them. "we didn't get your names."
"I'm Hien. Codename by the way." "Hien" replied. "My brother's codename is Hiryu, so I'm sure some of you are familiar with him." He pointed to Dan. "His name's Daniel Lee from Malaysia, but call him Dan."
"Well it's nice to see you again." Cammy greeted Mark.
"And I know the rest of ya, so don't worry on introductions yeah?"
"Yo." Dan gave everyone a two-finger salute.
"Yeah, glad to see you too." "Hiryu" sighed, porting his Heckler & Koch G36C compact assault rifle. He stared at his brother, wearing the ARCAM Corporation Special Private Army beret over his balaclava-clad head like him. However, Hien chose to wear the Swiss TAZ 90 Woodland camo, vest and holster. The masked Spriggan had an Armored Muscle Suit underneath the BDU while porting a Pindad SS1-M5 Commando compact assault rifle with a mounted red dot sight on the picatinny receiver.
Haven't seen him around. Chun-Li thought after hearing the codename. She hasn't seen him ever since Britain.
Java opened the gate gently, peeking out to see if any villagers were around. Leon aimed the Silver Ghost ahead to check first. He gestured to the others to move in carefully as there are some villagers inside.
Farm Area, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Leon and Kevin scout ahead by checking the barns and all to see if there were people ahead.
"Hostile villagers." Kevin warned the group. "They don't seem to know we're here..."
"Good." Yu drew out his Orihalcon-made combat knife. "Then all the more reason we should keep it that way." He faced the group. "Anyone with knives, let's go and keep it quiet."
Jill saw that the balaclava-clad brothers, Dan and Fujino got their own knives. She saw that Hiryu drew out a Fairbarn-Sykes commando knife with an Orihalcon blade from a knife sheath on his vest while Hien got out a Strider MARSOC SMF folding knife with an Orihalcon blade as well from his BDU pants pocket. Dan got out his Eickhorn-Solingen KM2000 combat knife from a sheath placed on his back via web belt. Fujino used her O-Watch to get her I-Cutter out. The knifes were held in a reverse grip.
Leon was about to unsling his 870 from his right shoulder in order to shoulder the shotgun's buttstock when Jean motioned to the ex-SPF officer to stop.
"Just watch them. It's not those two are masters of stealth for nothing." Jean explained to Jill, Chun-Li and Cammy as they watched Yu, Dan and Fujino enter the other houses, including the two-story barn while the brothers were seen approaching the cow stable.
"What the?" Chun-Li saw that a villager with a pitchfork was challenging the duo. Instead, one of them took him by surprise by kicking the back of his knees to make him kneel. The other brother proceeded to deal with the other villager by plunging the blade of his Fairbarn-Sykes knife onto his forehead.
"I don't believe it." Jill whispered, seeing the villager drop dead.
"See?" Jean grinned. "That's why us Spriggans are S-Class in ARCAM."
Minute later, Yu emerged out from the barn and signaled that it was okay.
"Looks like these guys come in handy." Leon smirked.
"Since it's all clear..." Martin told Leon. "Why don't we check the place and see if we can collect anything useful?"
"Works for me." Kevin said, shrugging his shoulders. "Come on Martin. Let's you and me explore a bit..."
"Everyone else, let's head to the two-story barn." Leon told the others, pointing to the barn as Yu and Fujino were standing outside.
Control Room, somewhere in Spain
Octavia had just told Krauser and the others that she had something planned up. In terms of using one of her assets to fight Leon and the others.
"So about this... thing." Krauser asked the CIHL head. "Are you absolutely sure it'll work?"
"Of course I am, my dear Krauser." Octavia said with confidence. "I'm planning to use that monster I created through bio modification."
"Bio modification?" Geki was confused.
"I'm lost there." Kei said, scratching the back of her head.
"You guys aren't the only ones." Krauser mumbled, hearing the term for the first time in his life.
"Allow me to explain." Octavia replied. "It's the process of the creation of new life by taking the characteristics of one creature and another to create one super being."
"Now that makes some sense." Krauser grinned. "So is it here yet?"
"As we speak, it should be brought here. I can't wait to see how it'll work once the Plaga bonds with it."
Farm Area, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"All clear." Fujino greeted Leon as he approached the barn.
"Same here." Dan, Hiryu and Hien ran up to the barn. "Only found some pesetas."
All of their combat knives were stored away, knowing that the villagers in the area were already dead by their hands.
"And I got this." Martin showed everyone the Pearl Pendant he got. "Found it above the well, but Kevin was kind enough to help me get this."
"After I had to make sure the well as covered." Kevin told everyone. "Sheesh, it's like these people don't care about hygiene these days."
"I got this too." Yu showed everyone the Beerstein. "Has some sockets to hold up gemstones or something..."
"I'll hold onto them as keepsakes until we find out what to do with them." Tea told the two.
"When she says she'll do it, she'll do it." Hiryu advised Martin.
Yu handed the Beerstein while Martin reluctantly gave the Pearl Pendant.
"I don't know how long can I hold up this much pesetas to be honest." Diana showed them a small pouch she had in her hands taken from a house in the villager earlier.
"There's another gate up ahead near the barn." Cammy pointed to the gate to the others.
"You guys know the drill." Leon aimed the Silver Ghost and Kevin brought out his Glock 21 Mariner, both pistols aimed at the gate by the barn as the norther one was barricaded.
"Right." Anyone else with firearms kept an eye on the rear to ensure it was fine.
"Your turn, big man." Dan told Java, shouldering the SIG Sport 552.
"Java do it." Java used his caveman strength to push the gates with his hands.
"Amazing." Chun-Li said, seeing Java do his work. "Haven't seen someone do that in my line of work."
"When it's Java out there, he can do anything." Martin boasted on Java.
"Except hold a gun." Hiryu reminded Martin. "You guys go ahead. We'll hold around here case there's trouble."
Outside Control Room, somewhere in Spain
Krauser was outside the control room when he met with Kenneth, who was waiting for the ex-airborne infantryman to get out.
Good thing the island's location is just near the mainland so Kenny boy can just go from here to there and vice versa without any much problems.
"So what can I do for you, little man?" Krauser questioned Kenneth.
"I already spoke to Ada." This comment raised Krauser's curiosity. "And it seems that the American government is not the only ones involved in trying to secure the First Daughter."
"You mean other organizations are here too?"
Kenneth nodded. "Wesker gave me data on those people. We've got people from Delta Red, INTERPOL, the Japanese National Police Agency, ARCAM Corporation and the Center." He showed the muscular man the profiles of Yu and the twins to Krauser.
"Well what do you know?" Krauser grinned after seeing their pictures. "Some familiar faces aside from him. That's nice."
Does he know Leon back from Raccoon City?
"What are you talking about there, Krauser?"
"Three of those people involved against the cult are from the time I've spent in COSMOS. I was their knife and CQC instructor back when I was plucked from the 82nd Division to COSMOS due to lack of experienced personnel at the time."
COSMOS? Kenneth, like Ada, feared COSMOS due to the fact that it had used brainwashed children from around the world to conduct black operations during the Cold War before an underground conglomerate of weapon manufacturers called the Trident Corporation took control of the group. "Last I heard, the American government and Trident waged war to get COSMOS back under US Army control after what happened in the South Pole."
"All of that's in the past now..." Krauser told Kenneth. "As for now, go see if you can dig up anything useful where Saddler keeps the Plaga sample. At least he ordered the villagers and all not to attack us since we're his allies."
Kenneth sighs. "Yeah, yeah I know. I'll go see if I can help Ada..."
On Trail, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"All clear..."
Leon told the others when he and Kevin checked everywhere to make sure no one was waiting for them. The others went through the gate before Java closed it behind them.
"It's too quiet." Martin said, checking the area before he noted the cliff beside them. "Something's going to happen."
"Martin." Diana glared at him. "It's all right. I'm pretty sure we're safe around this place." The group began to walk down away from the gate as they followed the trail down.
"I just hope you're right." Jean said, porting the SPAS-12.
So far, so good. Jill said to herself, looking around the Spanish countryside. If it weren't for the mission to eliminate Los Illuminados for being a threat to global stability, the ex-STARS operative would surely enjoy walking around the countryside.
Until they something big and heavy land behind them.
"Is that..." Hien turned around to see a huge boulder coming at them. "HOLY SHIT! A BOULDER!"
"EVERYONE RUN AND DON'T STOP!" Leon shouted, being the first to run.
"I TOLD YOU SO, DI!" Martin shouted as well to Diana after he began to run as fast as he can alongside Leon.
The entire group began to run, putting everything they got to their legs.
"Dammit! I hate it when this happens!" Hiryu shouted, running even more faster than Leon thanks to his Armored Machine Suit.
"Hey wait up!" Yu and Hien shouted, speeding up a bit to catch up thanks to their Armored Muscle Suits.
"Whatever those kids ate!" Kevin yelled with Leon next to him. "I want some of that as well too!"
"EVERYONE! ON THE COUNT OF THREE, THERE'S A DITCH WE CAN USE TO JUMP!" Cammy yelled. "ONE, TWO..."
"THREE!" Chun-Li shouted, being the first to jump in the ditch. Everyone else followed before the boulder crashed somewhere and was destroyed.
"Is everyone alright?" Eriko asked after she checked herself for any kinds of wounds.
"Fine." Fujino replied.
"All clear." Yu added.
"I hate the ones who did that trap." Jean commented.
"A tunnel." Hiryu aimed the G36C at the entrance. He gestured to Hien to do the same, who nodded in response as he aimed his SS1-M5 at the tunnel.
Tea and Yu helped the others get up from the ditch while the twins stacked up against the tunnel entrance before aiming inside to check for hostiles.
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
"Least we can walk safely." Leon commented as he walked inside the tunnel with the others.
"Something's shining." Jill said, pointing to the ceiling.
"Allow me." Tea concentrated and in minutes, Spinels fell down to the ground.
"Here you go, sis." Hiryu and Hien picked up the Spinels and tossed them to Tea.
"Are you a real psychic?" Martin was amazed by Tea's powers. "Because that is so AMAZING!"
"That's not the only trick that I can do." Tea grinned at Martin.
The group continued down the tunnel without any hostile encounter.
Inside Village Chief's House, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Ada had been reading a book regarding the history of Los Illuminados when her smartphone was receiving a call from Wesker.
"Ah, there you are." The mysterious man spoke to Ada. "There has been an irregularity."
"What about it?" Ada answered.
"The researcher we've planted was discovered by the Illuminados." Wesker said calmly like it didn't bother him at all.
"You must be talking about that vagrant Spaniard." Ada raised an eyebrow. "So where is he now?"
Wesker nodded. "He's held captive in an abandoned house located northeast of the village. Until he recovers the sample, we can't let him die." The shades-wearing man shook his head left and right for emphasis.
Didn't know that Wesker actually cared. "You don't need to remind me."
"I'm bringing Kenneth back to your location to help you around. As we speak, he should be heading back to the mainland."
"I got that part." Ada glared at her smartphone after she ended the call.
"Luis Sera." The Chinese-American sighed, rolling her eyes after putting the phone away. "And I thought I was high maintenance."
I better look for Kenneth soon. She replaced the book on Los Illuminados back on the bookstore. Least I got some Spanish to understand the cult's history.
Near Abandoned Houses, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"Another one." Java pointed to the sign with the skulls on one.
"I guess this village really is xenophobic." Jill said, holding her Px4 at the ready.
"Probably since they're already out to kill us." Leon agreed with Jill, porting the 870. He saw a couple of houses ahead with one of the side. "Again, it seems clear."
"This part seems to be too easy." Yu sighed. "Not that I want any opposition." He had previously unslinged his G3A4 in wary of more armed villagers.
"Where do we start?" Fujino asked the group if they had some ideas.
"I hope you guys had your weapons reloaded." Hiryu told the group, aiming his assault rifle at one of the houses.
"It seems we already have some visitors." Tea said as if she was reading the future.
That's what terrifies me about her. Hien sighed. Sis is like some seer from the future who knows what's going to happen, as if we're in a videogame or something.
As the group advanced towards one of the houses, a dynamite was hurled towards them.
"WAIT!" Leon told the group to stop as the dynamite exploded nearby without hurting any of them.
"TAKE COVER!" Hiryu shouted, getting prone before he aimed the G36C's reflex red dot sight at one of the dynamite-wielding villagers after the rifle's fire selector was switched to fire on two rounds mode under the 2-round burst trigger group. Yu joined him to fire his G3A4 on full auto mode. They struck down one the villagers who had the unfortunate luck to have his forehead exposed. A second later, an explosion was heard from inside the house followed by someone groaning.
"I got grenades!" Leon passed frag and incendiary grenades to Jill and Kevin while Eriko joined in the fight by firing her P228. Hien assisted her by firing his SS1-M5 at 3-round burst mode to conduct suppressive fire.
Jill chucked a primed frag grenade, which was a Spanish-made Instalaza Alhambra at another dynamite stick-wielding villager while Eriko and Hien distracted him with their weapons. As the grenade landed next to the villager, it exploded and killed him. The dynamite in his hand blew up, destroying his body in the process. Kevin had chucked in a British-made Haley and Weller E-108 incendiary grenade at the same time when Jill threw her frag grenade. Not that it mattered anyway as the villager wasn't burned to death.
Another dynamite-wielding villager came out of the first house, wielding a stick of lit dynamite. Kevin threw a primed Royal Ordnance GP60 stun grenade at him.
"COVER YOUR EYES!" Kevin warned the others before the device exploded. When the villager was blinded, the dynamite exploded in his hands.
Farm Area, El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Ada ran as hard as possible from the village chief's house, already armed with a 4 inch Springfield Armory XD pistol Service Model with a black finish. It wasn't helpful that her high heels were slowly getting in the way of her mobility.
Please be alive Leon!
Despite this problem, the spy did not allow it to get in her way of her running. She found the gate Leon and company had used to get to the abandoned houses and began to push it.
Ada did not have Java's caveman strength to open it with ease, but she was determined to also get her job done.
Near Abandoned Houses, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"Clear!"
Jill shouted after she noted that there was no further hostile activity. Leon and Kevin were away checking the first house to see if it was cleared as well of hostile.
"All clear." Leon said after he exited the house. "Aside from getting some money."
"Let's go check the other house." Yu pointed to the second house nearby. The others nodded in agreement before they scoured the front to see if any traps or hostile villagers were near. While checking the grass for a dead body or two, the group only found pesetas. The task fell to Diana to collect them and place it in a pouch.
"A bird's nest?" Martin was surprised to see it on a tree, considering what was going on with the villagers.
"Something?" Dan asked Martin, looking at the nest.
Martin nodded. "Usually people hide stuff there as a way to get attention of them. Or at least what I've read in spy books."
"I'll get it." Hiryu said as he activated his O-Watch to use the Turbo Bungee to make the grappling hook secured on a tree branch before he began to climb on it. After doing so, the masked SHADOW agent was able to secure a Red Catsye from it.
Gotcha. Hiryu pocketed the Red Catsye before he got down on the ground.
"Sis!" He passed in onto Tea, who looked at it with great curiosity.
"Interesting." Tea commented. "This should fit nicely on the Beerstein you guys found a while ago."
"Over here!" Eriko shouted, pointed to the metal lock on the door she found. "It's locked. There's probably someone or something of great value inside this place."
"I could try to pick the lock." Jill was about to examine the lock when Fujino raised a hand at her, motioning at her to stop.
"I will handle this, Jill-san." The Reien Girls high school student told Jill aka the Master of Unlocking. The purple-haired girl stared at the lock with her full attention. Seconds later, the lock was twisted around until it was broken without any hands involved.
"Sweet." Kevin whistled, seeing Fujino's handiwork. "We could use someone like her in DSO."
"Least we can get in." Leon gently opened the door, peeking inside before telling the others that it was clear.
Inside Abandoned House, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
"Clear!"
"Clear!"
Leon and Kevin aimed their sidearms around the place. It looked clear. Again, this bothered a few people. Diana checked the cabinet and saw a few more pesetas she can take.
"I wish we can take this time to friggin' reload our weapons again." Kevin muttered, lowering his sidearm.
Hien motioned to Yu and Jean in the hallway.
"Hold it guys. We got an IED." Jean warned everyone.
"IED?" Eriko asked, not knowing the term of before.
"Improvised Explosive Device." Cammy told the detective.
"Let's go and disarm them." Yu and Jean went to the hallway, the former taking out his combat knife to cut the tripwire.
"It seems they're pulling out all the stops here to prevent us from finding out what's inside." Chun-Li sighed. Martin, Diana and Java checked on the hallway to see that Yu was working on the second tripwire.
"Disarmed!" Jean shouted, checking the bombs on the hallway walls after he used his werewolf strength to snap off the wire without yanking the explosives on the wall.
"Disarmed here!" Yu shouted, putting away his combat knife after he carefully sliced the wire into two.
"This isn't right..." Jill checked the bombs. "Looks like C4 and they're made to detonate if someone walks over them."
"This means one thing." Hiryu frowned after he heard what Jill had said. "Someone with military experience's working with the other side."
Leon and Kevin once again checked the room at the other end, seeing that it was clear once more.
"Where's the valued person or item the cult's hiding?" Martin said when he got in the room. "Again, this is too easy... I can feel the suspense in my veins."
"Use your head Martin." Diana scolded her stepbrother once more. "I don't think they'll just leave it in the open. They probably hid the person or thing by putting something else in front of it."
"Check everything." Chun-Li advised. "That also includes the floor. There could be a trapdoor or a secret passage hidden in plain sight."
As the group began to look around, Tea stared at the bookcase next to the hallway. She stared at the floor and noticed some scratches. "This bookcase is hiding a passage. Scratch marks are on the floor."
"All right." Hiryu pushed it out of the way, revealing another room.
Hien aimed his SS1-M5 and went inside first. "Clear. There's an armoire inside." The others followed the Filipino Spriggan inside.
Jill and Eriko aimed their sidearms at the armoire before the latter opened the door after they heard loud banging. Out came a Caucacian man with black hair. He was... tied up for the moment.
"Déjame sacar." Eriko told the man after she took off the masking tape used to seal his mouth. Hiryu got his Fairbarn-Sykes knife out and used it to cut the ropes used to tie his hands and feet.
"Tú no eres como ellos?" The Spanish man asked Eriko, noticing that she was able to speak Spanish.
"No lo somos." Eriko shook her head left and right.
"Perfect." The man said in fluent English. "One important question. Any of you guys got smokes?"
Leon looked around the group and noted that no one offered a cigarette to the man. "I don't think we got any."
"Never..." The man saw two villagers block their way before a tall man with a beard, bald head and wearing black clothes including trench coat and shoes went inside.
"Okay..." Hiryu sighed when he saw the bald man. "We're cut off."
Kevin went to move in on the bald man. "You suck for getting in our way!" The ex-SPF officer went for a forward kick, only for the bald man to grab his right foot.
"You miss..." The bald man said with a Spanish accent. Kevin's eyes were wide open when the man smirked, hurling him towards Leon.
"UNGH!" Both men were knocked out. Yu and Jean went for another offensive, but the man punched them hard that not even the Armored Muscle Suit could save him from the hard impact of being knocked out onto someone else.
"Blast you!"
Cammy dashed in for a Spiral Arrow after the two Spriggans were out cold. The bald man sidestepped and waited for Cammy to kneel before he elbowed and punched her hard that she was sent flying to the wall.
"AAAAHHH!" Java tried to punch the man on his stomach. So far, his efforts were for nothing. The bald man executed a double straight attack on his chest that sent him flying to the armoire, destroying it and knocking the Spanish man out due to his sheer weight.
Tea teleported and knocked out the two villagers by confusing them, but the bald man kicked her from the side when the British Spriggan was behind him.
"AAGH!" yelled Tea before she was out cold.
Jill went for a roundhouse, but the bald man threw her across the room towards Chun-Li. The INTERPOL officer didn't have time to react as she was thrown towards her like a baseball. Fujino got her I-Cutter and tried to stab the bald man. Instead, she was kicked in the stomach hard that she was kneeling on the floor to clutch her stomach before she fainted. Eriko aimed her sidearm at the tall man, but he punched her on the right temple that she was knocked out as well.
Dan went for the offensive. Instead, he received a strong backfist that sent him flying towards Martin and Diana.
"Just you and me bro." Hiryu and Hien said, seeing that they're the only ones left standing.
"I know."
The twins charged towards the bald man, intending on taking him down.
"Just try it." The bald man uttered before he used a punch and kick to take down the twins even though they had Orihalcon-made suits on to protect themselves from being killed outright.
Near outskirts of Abandoned House, outskirts of El Pueblo, somewhere in Spain
Ada was walking by the fences near the abandoned house, seeing Kenneth was peeking through the fence hole.
"Glad to see someone familiar." Ada greeted Kenneth. The latter was about to fire his 9mm HK USP Compact at the intruder before he noted that it was Ada.
"Apologies." Kenneth greeted Ada after holstering his sidearm. "Didn't see you there."
"What's happening?"
"See for yourself."
The Chinese-American peeked through the hole in the fence to see that Leon and the group were taken away by several villagers one man at a time. A few villagers were on hand to carry Java as he was too heavy.
"That's Bitores Mendez, the village chief." Ada murmured. "He's one the big shots in the cult next to Saddler."
"They got him." Kenneth whispered to Ada, seeing the Spanish man being carried out of the house.
"Seems we're too late to secure him."
"Now what?" The Chinese teen sighed as the people were all carried out.
"We'll need to contact Wesker on this matter." Ada told Kenneth.
Kenneth watched Bitores tell the villagers to secure the prisoners.
Dammit. If I have been here a bit earlier, I could have helped Leon.
Unknown Facility, somewhere in Spain
A man with a cloak and hood examined the prisoners tied up and unconscious. One of the doctors tried to remove Hiryu's balaclava as he was unconscious. The hood-wearing man stopped the doctor, indicating that there was no need to do so. The place looked like any kind of medical facility, aside from the fact that was blood smeared all over the place.
"Feeble humans." The man smirked. "Let us give you... our power." A doctor came to Leon's unconscious body and began to position the syringe on a blood vessel located somewhere in his neck.
"Soon you will be unable to resist... this intoxicating power."
The syringe was then positioned, injecting something into Leon's body first before Kevin was the next person to be injected with the same unknown substance followed by the others with Java being last.
Unknown Room, somewhere in Spain
NOOOOOOO!
Leon shot up after he was out of conscious for a certain amount of time. There were two things he noted.
One, he was in some one-room house where he was tied up. And two, he was tied up with the same Spanish man the group had previously met.
Now we're all tied up. How do we get out of this mess?
