Story - Leon B: The Kiss

Gold Locket

On the other side of the ventilation hole, Ada spots a little girl. Frightened, the girl quickly runs away, accidentally dropping her gold locket. Ada picks it up and opens the cover, revealing a photo of the young girl and her parents. Ada finds it cute and decides to hold on to the locket for the girl.

Ada searches the area, but finds nothing except a key. She returns to the ventilation area and calls out to Leon. He asks if she found anything, and she tosses him the key. Unable to reach the hole to get back to the other side, she tells him that she'll find another way and catch up with him later.

Ben's Death [Approx. Time - 02:11]

Ada keeps her promise and finds Leon back in the cellblock, hovering over Ben. She calls out Leon's name as she runs over to Ben's still body. Leon and Ada check the reporter's body, but nothing can be done for him.

Leon remembers the incriminating papers given to him by the late reporter and starts reading them. Ada gets up to run off again, but Leon stops her to ask where she's going. She briefly tells him she has a feeling she'll find John at the chemical plant and exits, leaving Leon once again pleading for her to wait.

Teaming Up [Approx. Time - 02:47]

Finding the regular entrance to the chemical plant locked, Ada takes a more difficult route. She jumps down from a ledge, finally making it to the plant. Leon, who entered the plant just seconds before, runs to Ada and scolds her for her reckless actions. Calmly, Ada reminds Leon that she is aware of the dangers in the city. Leon pauses for a moment and sighs before explaining that it's his duty as an officer to protect her. They need to work together if they want to get out alive. Impressed by his concern, Ada agrees to join Leon for a time.

Leon Takes the Bullet

The two travel the sewers for a little while until they take a moving platform to a lower level. A female scientist spots the two and quickly runs down the hall. Ada immediately recognizes the woman and chases after her. Just as Ada catches up, the scientist starts shooting at her. Leon quickly runs over, pushing Ada out of the way and taking the bullet for her.

Stupid Leon... Why'd he have to do that for me...
Ada was unable to conceal the effect of his bravery on her emotions.

Ada quickly collects herself and tries to explain to Leon who the woman was. She realizes that Leon isn't mortally wounded, but that he is unconscious. Ada tells the fallen rookie that she has to talk to the woman and leaves him there to pursue her.

Truth Revealed

Ada finally catches up with the scientist, but the woman shoots Ada's gun out of her hands before anything can be done. The scientist orders Ada to identify herself, and Ada calmly complies. Her name is familiar to the blonde woman, and she soon realizes Ada is the girlfriend of John, an Umbrella scientist. Stunned, Ada asks who she is and how she knew. The woman reveals that she is Annette Birkin, wife of the creator of the T-Virus.

Ada is shocked to hear this, but before she can soak up this news, Annette coldly adds that John is dead and Ada will be joining him shortly. She won't let anyone take the G-Virus away from her husband.

Ada realizes that the monster running around the precinct must be William Birkin, and Annette confirms her suspicions. As she finishes talking, Annette notices the gold locket around Ada's neck. Ada explains that the little girl dropped it, but Annette refuses to believe this and demands that Ada give it back.

Annette's concern for the locket strikes Ada as strange, so she makes a grab for Annette's gun. The two women struggle until Ada accidentally knocks Annette over the ledge. Ada tries to catch her, but the woman has already fallen too far. Not really caring, she picks up her gun and readjusts herself. She checks the locket again and this time, she finds a secret compartment hiding a sample of the G-Virus.

Showing Affection

Finished with her mission's main objective, Ada heads down to the dumping area where Leon has also found his way. He runs over to her, but the wound in his shoulder causes him to collapse. He tries to brush off his obvious anguish, but Ada gently hushes him and begins patching his wounds.

While Ada attended to Leon's wounds, her surprisingly feminine profile gave his heart some brief but welcome peace.
I must protect her...at all costs...
And thus the two passed the time together, quietly.

After she finishes applying bandages, they share a moment of silence. Ada mentions that she found out John has died, her voice melancholy, but changes the subject quickly. She suggests that they get out of the city as soon as possible.

Birkin's Monster Attacks

Leon and Ada discover a tram in the factory and use it to reach the other side of the area. On the way there, Birkin, now a mutated creature, attacks them. The rookie cop and the spy manage to hold him off, and the monster eventually gives up and disappears.

Her Vulnerable Side [Approx. Time - 04:18]

On the other side of the factory, Ada and Leon board a turntable that will take them to the secret labs. Just as it begins to move, Birkin's arm breaks through the side and strikes Ada, knocking her unconscious instantly. Leon is greatly worried that Ada doesn't respond to him, but he leaves the turntable car to take care of Birkin.

Leon returns to Ada as soon as the monster is defeated. Gently, he lifts her on to the small cot in the turntable car and stays by her side, waiting for her to return to consciousness.

After some time, Ada awakens, and Leon, relieved, welcomes her back. Leon tells her he's going to find something to treat her wounds, so she should take it easy. She tries to persuade him not to, that she'll only slow him down, but he firmly tells her they're going to escape the city together. Seeing how much he cares about her well being, she tells him how much she's enjoyed being with him and that she doesn't want to lose him. Leon, a little embarrassed but ultimately flattered, promises her he will return and they will make it out of the city together.

Ada's injury was an unexpected turn of events that she was not prepared for. When Leon returned, she urged him to escape on his own and leave her behind. Leon stubbornly replied: "Women, always trying to do things their own way...I told you I'd protect you, didn't I?"

Ada found this side of Leon to be incredibly sweet. However, she still had a sworn duty to perform. At that moment, the locomotive began to overheat.

"Be sure to get out of here alive. Wait for me."

Ada watched Leon as he went off to find an electrical source for the locomotive. Soon after, Ada skillfully managed to get the locomotive started and running again, leaving a stunned Leon staring blankly after her as the locomotive left without him...

One Last Kiss

Though gravely injured, Ada leaves the turntable. While traveling the labs, she spots Leon being cornered by Mr. X. Ada shoots at the creature, drawing its attention away from Leon. She yells for Leon to run as Mr. X inches closer to her. The creature grabs hold of Ada, but she continues to shoot at him until he throws her onto the laboratory core. The electric current from the shattered device strikes the creature, and it is thrown into the lava pit below.

Leon runs to Ada's side and catches her in his arms. Ada is losing blood rapidly, but she pleads him to leave the city. Close to tears, Leon refuses to leave her. Ada slowly shakes her head and reveals her true feelings for Leon, the one person who had shown her true kindness.

In a hushed voice and with the last of her strength, she confessed how she had been employed as a spy by one of Umbrella's rival corporations. But Leon didn't care. After all, she had come back for him...

from Resident Evil Archives

With nothing left to be said, Leon pulls her closer and they share one last kiss.

When the kiss is broken, Ada takes her last breath and collapses in Leon's arms, her body lifeless. Shaking uncontrollably, Leon screams her name until he finally gets up and mournfully says goodbye. He promises to never forget her as he exits the unstable room.

Recovery, Only to Have to Say Goodbye

Some time after Leon leaves, Ada regains consciousness. Somehow, she locates some medical supplies and uses them to bandage the wounds she received from her stint with Mr. X. Although in pain, she hurries to escape the city and perhaps see Leon one last time. She spots him sparring with the mutated creature, and tosses him a rocket launcher as a final way of saying goodbye. Seeing only her shadowy figure, Leon calls out her name, hoping she is alive, but she doesn't respond.
