Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil...and I've just lost two seconds of my life saying it.

Authoress' Note: (Please READ) Thank you dear readers for reading this fic and your lovely reviews! As I have mentioned in the summary, this was inspired by 1wingangel's fic: Resident Evil 4: Real Life Edition! Truly an amazing fic and you should read it before reading mine. Savin' Me is done by Nickleback and Hero is done by Chad Kroeger. Man, I love these songs! They fit, right? I apologize for leaving out the fanboys of Leon, sorry! Oh, and I've figured that I'll adding Holding Out For A Hero by Bonnie Tyler to the chapter where I get captured by the Novistador but I've just can't figure out how to do it. The reason why I placed all the songs you'v read so far in the fic, is because it's my personality. I usually think of songs and sing them in my head when I get nervous or something. It just helps me calm down.

Final Note: More reviews! Ooh yeah, baby! I would love to thank all my readers for your lovely reviews and suggestions for this fic!

Everyone gets a Leon bottlecap that says: (pokes button) (mafia Leon tips his hat) "Never had a chance."

RESIDENT EVIL AND LEON FOREVER!!!!

1wingangel and Nicole this fic is for you!

Resident Evil 4: A Fangirl's Dream Come True!

Chapter Twelve: Leon's Capture!

Leon stared at it.

I sighed as the agent tilted his head one way to study it then another, trying to figure it out. We're going to be stuck here all night if he keeps this up. I growled softly as I tapped my foot impatiently and glared at the back of the agent's head. Scorpios don't like to be kept waiting (unless there's nothing to do or can't help it) and that's what I am.

A Scorpio.

And I'm waiting.

For Leon to move.

I sighed and rubbed my temples clockwise. I can't get mad at him for being curious and the way he's doing it reminds me of a child's curiosity. And as a government agent... he just has to figure it out. I grinned slightly as Leon circled the object of his interest. Being a Scorpio is both a blessing and a curse. First the curse, Scorpios are secretive and don't share much of anything to anyone...even to a trusted parent or friend. Hence why I can't tell Leon anything of what I know about the grave situtation we're in...or my feelings to him.

I scowled a little. Ah, the other little curse I hate about my sign. Scorpios are very emotional...especially if its love and we like to protect those feelings at all costs. I rubbed my necklace made of Garent and Malachite stones. Come on, Garent stones, work with me! These feelings I have are driving me nuts and I can't think straight if my hormones are running rampant! I pushed the thought aside and I smiled at the blessing of my sign as I touched the Malachite stones. The only thing I love about being a Scorpio is that we are furiously loyal to the ones we care about...and protective.

I tapped my necklace and murmured my little chant. "Scorpio, Scorpio in my blood. Help me protect the ones I love."

"It's stupid." Leon declared dryly as he lifted a brow at the object.

"So?"

"Salazar needs a new hobby."

"Or therapy. Hey, look, there's some Spinels on the statues."

I pointed out the glittering gems and the agent knocked them off with perfect shots. As I collected them, the thought of Leon being strange returned. I rolled the gems in my hand as I walked back to Leon and followed him to the merchant. Something happened to Leon during his little misadventure on the Umbrella cruise ship the Starlight. I don't have all the details about it since I never played the game and I only know the story through walkthroughs. But then half of the RE gamers say that's not part of the actual timeline, yet the other half says that it is.

I narrowed my eyes in thought. The walkthroughs reveal that at the end of the game Leon was infected while on the godforsaken ship. The camera zooms in on Leon as he calls for pickup and shows that he had a tiny cut on his neck. And that tiny cut...was oozing green blood. But the RE gamers were agruing that Leon was never there to begin with and it was just BOW in transformation again. Now, if that was true then the girl Lucia would have noticed, like she had done before when that BOW was under the guise of Leon for the first time.

I glanced at Leon, who was now in some kind of agrument with the merchant. I closed my eyes and brought up my memories about what happened in this adventure so far. First, Leon became a government agent under the direct order of the President in six years. Six fucking years! That's nearly impossible. The amount of training and the climb through the ranks to get to that spot takes a hell of a lot longer. And Leon accomplished that in half the time! Now that's just weird but a few have done that before. So that's not enough to comfirm my theory. Okay, so what about his fighting style? Hmm...roundhouse kicks and suplexes. A lot of people can do those moves... so how many can kill people with them? Plenty. But...but how many can use a roundhouse kick and have the enemy's head explode in a gory mess?! NONE! This move can normally kill a person from a broken neck or cracked a skull. Not cause an enemy's head to explode!

I kept my eyes on the agent. Still don't get it? Let me explain. Resident Evil: Gaiden is part of the timeline. Okay, so they don't explain it in RE4, so? Leon's swift movement, odd strength, deadly accuracy and his abnormal endurance to "killer" blows are made by the virus he was infected with! He's infected and that's all there is to it! He's the same as Wesker..a human BOW! Leon just doesn't know about it because the virus didn't mutate him, merely enhance his capablities. Besides, how else can you explain his plaga growing much more quickly than mine...err... Ashley's plaga? Ashley was injected first with the parasite and showed no signs until she hit the castle. Leon was inject with it last and got the first sign as soon as he crossed the damn lake! The pictures in the RE: Gaiden were bad drawings. Besides, who's to say that the cut was oozing out green blood? What if the green blood from that BOW splashed on Leon and some of it landed on his neck? And the blood was oozing into the cut? I bet you didn't think about that, did you?

I grinned to myself. Leon as a human BOW, unknowingly wielding the power to take down Umbrella! Sweet! He's sort of like Alice in the movie. The virus didn't change him...he changing it! And his body adapting it to itself! Double sweet! Super human Leon! Hell yeah!

(A/N: Questions or corrections...flames about this will be dealt with later.)

"What are you grinning about now?" Leon asked, startling me from my thoughts. I jumped a little and blinked up at him. Ack! I forgot I was here!

"Uh..." I fumbled for an answer. I can't tell him that he's infected with something else besides the plaga! He'll freak out, have a heart attack and die! I glanced at the Shooting Gallery door and blinked. I smiled inwardly. Found my excuse! I jerked my thumb at the door. "I was grinning because someone owes me a shooting lesson!"

Leon blinked in surprise. "A shooting lesson?"

I nodded. "Yeah! You said that you were going to teach me how to shoot when we got a break from the villagers! There's no villagers, or crazy monks and there a perfect place for you to teach me!" I grinned, "Besides, I remember you saying that you would give me the Punisher once I knew how to shoot! And you still have that gun!"

"I thought you had forgotten about that..." the agent muttered under his breath.

"Leon! I need another weapon besides these grenades! I'm running out and you know it!"

"Guns aren't..."

"...meant for girls? Is that it? "Guns aren't meant for girls?" Then what are these?!" I held up a grenade angrily, "DOLLS?! Is that what I've been chucking all this time?! Exploding dolls!?"

"No. Those are grenades..."

"Which aren't meant for girls either but here I am holding them!!" I snapped, "What's the difference between them?! They're both made to cause damage, pain and death! They're both weapons! So what's the fucking difference?!"

Leon was silent as he narrowed his eyes, trying to keep his cool. I've already lost mine. The merchant sighed and rolled his eyes.

I grinned viciously. "Ah, that's right! I almost forgot! Grenades don't have barrels!" I hissed, "Is that what your afraid of? That I'm going to hold the gun backwards and blast myself in the face?! Damnit, Leon, I'm twenty not a two year old! I want to help you but I can't do that if I run out grenades! And-"

"I don't want you to change!"Agent Kennedy snarled, which made me jump a little.

I blinked in confusion. "What...?"

The agent looked away and balled a hand into a fist that he kept at his side. He glared at something on the other side of the room, growled a little and let his breath out in an angry hiss. I blinked again. His eyes...they glowed again! The agent took a deep breath and calmed a little.

He kept his eyes on whatever he was lookig at. "Rally, you have no idea what shooting a gun can do to a person. It changes them. To shoot a gun at someone...at least out in the field, you have to close off your heart and feel no remorse for what you are doing. True, you're twenty but still innocent and that innocence dies the moment you pull the trigger and end someone's life. I've seen how you looked at the villagers and monks, you look at them with sorrow and pity."

"That's because their lives have already ended and we're giving them a mercy they want."

Leon shook his head, "You still don't get it. The people here are very much alive, they're not like the zombies from Raccoon City, who were already dead and gone. The villagers' lives aren't gone just trapped until you end it. True, we're setting their souls free but at the same time we're stealing their lives. I don't want you to change because you still have innocence. An innocence that I've lost since Raccoon and the same that I want back but know I can never do. And I don't want you killing it. So don't change and don't ask me to teach you how to lose it."

I blinked in shock. I've never thought of it like that but grenades are the same as guns so that meant my innocence was already gone. "I...never knew that. But...I've already lost my innocence." I said quietly.

"With what?"

"Duh, grenades. I throw and people go boom!, remember? I've already killed a lot of people so my innocence is already dead." I pointed out.

Leon didn't bat an eye. "Did you hesitate?"

"What?"

"Did you pull the pin and automatically throw it into the crowd or did you pause for a second?"

"I..." I blinked in confusion and thought back to my battles. Of all the times I've thrown the grenades... I did pause for a brief second each time. "..paused. But only for a brief second and to adjust my aim!"

"Then it doesn't count. You still have your innocence. You think you're just adjusting your aim when you pause but in actuality your innocence was fighting with what you were going to do. Besides, once you have a gun in your hand you can't hesistate for a second."

I sighed. Great. Leon suddenly goes Gun Sage mode on me and I'm running out of grenades. I looked at the shooting range then back at the agent. The merchant was quiet as he went through his wares, probably not going to risk getting chewed out by the agent. I sighed again and Leon's head turned to me with a questionable look on his face. I just know I'm going to piss him off.

"Teach me how to shoot."

Leon glared at me, his eyes almost glowing from the blue torch's light. "You don't listen very well do you?! Didn't you understand what I said?!"

I narrowed my eyes. "I heard and understood but that's not going to stop me from learning. I'm only asking you to teach me how to shoot."

"And I'm telling you no fucking way."

"Teach me just in case something goes wrong!"

"Then what the hell am I going to tell your parents when we get the hell out of here? Show up on your doorstep with you hugging yourself like crazy and I'll say... 'Hi, I'm Agent Leon Scott Kennedy. The good news is I've rescued your daughter! Bad news is I've taught her how to shoot a gun and is now no longer the innocent girl you once knew. She's completely withdrawn and traumatized for the rest of her life. Is there a problem with that?'!" Leon griped, eyes blazing and "glowing".

I suppressed the urge to laugh at his sarcastic remark. "Then just teach me how to hold a gun!" I growled as the agent threw his hands up in the air in anger.

"FINE! I'll teach you how to hold a goddamn gun if only to shut you up!" he snapped. Leon took out the Punisher, ejected the clip and removed the bullet in the chamber and shoved it into my hands. "Here. Let me see how you hold a gun on your own."

I glared at him for a second then shifted my stance to mimic the stance used by the STARS in the first game. I liked Jill's stance and decided to imitate that instead. Leon watched me for a bit before his brows lifted in surprise. I think he recognized the stance I was using.

"Jill." he murmured in rememberance before he nudged my arms a little higher and my feet a little closer together. Several mintues after checking my stance was right, Leon declared that I officially knew how to hold a gun properly. I scowled a little as he plucked the gun from my hands afterward. Well, I did say that I wanted him to teach how to hold a gun, not shoot it. I glanced at him as he slapped in the clip and bullet and noticed that he was actually a lot calmer now. That's good because I feel like a jerk for the whole agrument earlier.

"Hey, Leon."

"No."

"I'm not going to ask that. I was just wondering if you're still mad at me."

"...A little."

"Then go to the Shooting Gallery."

"Why?" Leon inquired as he holstered the Punisher, a brow raised in suspicion. I sighed and rubbed my neck. How am I going to explain to him it's an area to win cool prizes and the best place to lose track of time? I haven't had time to talk to the merchant about it. Oh, to hell with it! Let him be suspicious if he wants but I want the calm and gentle (before I pissed him off) Leon back.

"Because it's a great stress reliever. You're stressed about the mission, Salazar, Saddler, and me. Might as well work it out of you so you can feel better and think more clearly."

Leon sighed and headed for the blue door as the merchant went in first. "Fine. I am stressed and I've got a headache."

I winced at his words and followed him in.

---------------------------------------------

Two hours later...

With the fight forgotten and winning several bottlecaps, we walked out of the Shooting Gallery in laughs. I grinned in rememberance of Leon's shocked face when he accidently shot the cardboard me, after winning the bottlecap of me, of course. The look on his face was priceless. After getting the bottlecap me, Leon rang the bell for another round. All was going as normal when the cardboard me suddenly popped up and startled the agent. Hence why he shot it. The agent stared at the "Rally" cardboard pieces on the floor and looked at me with huge eyes. I just shrugged as my body shook from the giggles I was keeping in. The Merchant was laughing from behind the desk and had his hand over the keyboard of his laptop. Leon decided that he had enough and that we had to go.

"I can't believe he did that to me!" Leon laughed as checked his clip for the Blacktail. I giggled again as I held up the tiny figurine of Caleb.

"Probably to teach us to not fight each other so much...but it was funny!" I laughed as I poked the button on the side.

There were several barks from the dog, then translated to: "Don't worry! I've got your backs!"

Both Leon and I stared at it in surprise. We looked at each other, blinked then bursted out in laughter again. That was so cute! I wonder how Caleb will react to a bottlecap of himself?

"It looks as though the Merchant is a Dog Whisperer." I snickered as I handed the bottlecap to Leon for him to put away. He cracked a grin as he pulled out a bottlecap with me set on top. It was the perfect replica of me; with my red tie-dye shirt, blue jeans, black high top boots, and my side pack with a tied shirt around my waist. Grenades were hooked all over my waist and a few were peeping out of my side pack. I was in a carefree stance and held a grenade in my hand as if I was tossing it up and down in my hand. I was also wearing a sly grin on my face.

Creepy.

The agent poked the button.

"Ooh yeah, Leon! Su-plex!"

I blinked at it. "I have got to know who made these things."

"You and me both." Leon mumbled as he removed his attache cas so he could pack the bottlecap away. I strayed from him as I walked toward the hall that held the trap I had to run into but stopped short of it. I only scowled at it. Stupid hallway and cheap ass traps. I turned away to walk back toward the agent, who removed his holster straps to readjust them. I sighed as a flash of sadness crossed my eyes for what I'm going to do to the agent. Through the halls of hell you must go to get me back, Leon. I frowned in thought. Following game rules suck.

Suddenly, my lungs flared in pain, my diaphragm went nuts and my throat went dry and tight. It felt as though someone was strangling me! My eyes widen as a cough forced itself out of my mouth. Wh-what?! NOW?! No! No no no no! It's not supposed to happen now! I'm not even at the door yet! Hell, I'm not even in the hall yet!! Another cough escaped from my mouth and I drew in a ragged breath. Oh, god its even worse! I can barely breathe!

Leon looked up at me in surprise and we locked eyes. He took a step forward as I stared at him with fear. This wasn't good. My eyes watered as he walked slowly toward me. "Rally, are you okay-?"

A sorrowful look flashed across my eyes and I knew he saw it. His eyes widen as he finally knew what was happening and ran toward me. I took off like a shot and raced down the hall. I didn't bother with the line Ashley was supposed to say and just ran down the hall. To hell with the lines! I've got to get to the trap to force Leon to go through the detour and meet up with Ada and Luis!

I heard the agent's rapid footsteps as he ran to catch up with me. I'm not the best runner in the world but when you're freaked out enough you can out run the fastest man in the world! I coughed again and it caused me to stumble and lose some speed, giving the agent a few seconds to close in on me. I stumbled through the hall as I pumped my arms for speed and barely felt Leon's hand brush my back, he's right behind me! I sped up to escape the agent's grasp, knowing fully well that if he caught up to me, I won't be able to go through the trap. Tears ran down my cheeks as I heard the agent's soft growl of frustration.

Leon...

"Rally, wait!"

I'm sorry!

Yes! The door wasn't far from me now! If I can just get past that door... My lungs flared angrily for lack of air and the fucking plaga that can't seem to wait another ten seconds! Another powerful cough racked through me, causing me to double over in pain and a splash of blood hit my hands. Eww... I tossed the blood aside and kept running...

"Shit!" Leon hissed softly and I mentally kicked myself. Oh, brillant! Just toss the blood aside and let Leon see it! Now's he running faster to make sure I don't get away! Argh!

Another, but more powerful cough forced its way out of my throat, causing me to veer to the rightside of the hall. From my sudden motion, I stumbled and because of my stumbling, I got my legs "tangled" and I tripped over, falling flat on my face just in front of the sewer door. Damnit!

Leon caught up, raced past me and whirled around, blocking my way to the trap wall. I sighed inwardly and gulped as the agent glared at me with ice in his eyes. Ah, shit...stupid coughes. And I'm going to get yelled at by Leon for trying to leave him behind. And I was right.

"Rally, what the hell were you thinking?!" the agent yelled in fury. I winced and sighed, looking away from him. The game hates me...I know it. He reached down to hoist me up and that got me thinking. As soon as Leon lifts me up, I'll hit him the stomach and make a run for the wall. He'll hate for that but it's the only way to get that damn serpent piece. God, the shit I have to do to get all the crap we need to get out of here! But before the agent had a chance to hoist me up and yell at me some more, the door to the sewers flew open and a large greenish gray bug thing barged through.

Novistador!

The ugly creature looked around wildly and let out a odd shriek as it spotted us. Well, sort of. I was still on the floor and it didn't see me...but it saw Leon! It shrieked again, leaped forward, slammed into the agent and began to shove him toward the wall. Leon yelped out in shock and grabbed the Punisher...the only weapon he had on him...everything else he left behind while chasing me! Argh! NO!

"What the hell is this thing!?" Leon growled to himself.

The Novistador lifted the agent a little and flew him to the back wall as Leon struggled with it to get it to let his gun arm go. He managed to get his right arm free and fired the weapon into the bug's chest at point blank range. The bug shrieked in pain but didn't drop the agent and what was worse is that they just passed over the first set of spikes!

Sh-ink!

Blam!

Blam!

Sh-ink!

Blam!

Blam!

"Let me go already!"

Sh-ink!

Blam!

Blam!

The Novistador continued to push the agent toward the back wall despite of its wounds. The bug was already dying but Leon was still shooting it to get it to let him go. With the last of its strength, the monster bug kicked Leon back against the wall jst before the last set of spikes shot up and speared the bug. The Novistador twitched madly as the agent slammed against the wall...right between the six little holes. I shrieked in panic. Argh! NO!

"LEON, GET AWAY FROM THE WALL!!" I screamed out as the agent shook off the pain.

Too late.

The three metal rings shot up, curled around the agent's body and forced him back, locking him into place. "What the hell?!" Leon cried out in shock as he struggled against the rings, the Punisher dropping away from his hand. There was a soft rumble echoing through the hall. Oh god, the wall is about to shift! I screamed out in fear as I jumped up and raced toward the fenced off area. I threw myself at the fence and tried to squeeze myself between the bars. I shoved my arm between the bars and clawed the air in front of me in a desperate but useless attempt of dragging Leon out of there.

The wall began to shift and our eyes locked onto each other. Leon was completely freaked out about what was going on and he feared for my life. I cried at his expression. Even though he's the one in trouble, he still feared for me..me!! Goddamn the heroics! Leon, don't look at me like that! You're the one in trouble, not me!! I was completely freaking out that it wasn't supposed to be like this and feared for his life.

The wall turned and Leon disappeared on the other side of the wall. That's it. He was gone...caught in a trap meant for me... This was not fucking good! We're screwed!! I leaped back as the spikes shot back down and I raced toward the wall and threw myself at it, pounding on the wall with my fists. NO! NONONO! Argh! That wasn't supposed to happen! I was the one to get trapped not Leon! Let him go you fucking wall! Let him go and take me! That's what you're supposed to do! Take me!!!!

I pounded on the wall a few more times before sliding down in front of the wall and cried. This was wrong on so many levels! Leon needed to be here for him to meet up with Ada and find out what the hell she's up to...sort of. Then meet up with Luis for the final time... unless we can divert his death.

I punched the wall several times. "Damnit! Damnit! God fucking damnit! Son of a fucking bitch!" I shrieked at the wall.

"You have a very colorful mouth, you know." came Leon's muffled voice.

I looked up in surprise and stared at the wall. Leon can hear me?! "Leon?! Are-are you okay?"

"Ye-yeah... The only thing that's hurt is my back and my pride. I can't believe that I got caught in a cheap trap."

"Thank god, you're okay!"

"We're screwed aren't we?" the agent asked softly, which made me wince.

"I...I don't think so."

"Rally... don't lie. We're screwed. I'm the only one that can get us out of here but here I am stuck in a trap. We're trapped in this castle until I get myself free...but I don't see that happening anytime soon. I left all weapons on your side, I don't have anything to break out and get back to you."

"Leon..." I murmured as I sat there with my back against the wall.

"I'm sorry...that I can't help you..."

(A/N: Angel of Darkness by Alex C. and Yasmin K)

"Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness...The world is in your hand but I will fight until the end! Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness... Don't follow your command but I will fight and I will stand! When darkness falls, pain is all the Angel of Darkness will leave behind and I will fight!" I sang, "The love is lost. Beauty and light have vanished from garden of delight. The dreams are gone. Midnight has come, the darkness is our new kingdom! Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness...The world is in your hand but I will fight until the end! Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness...Don't follow your command but I will fight and I will stand!"

I could tell Leon was listening sadly.

"Hunt goes on deep in the night. Time to pray! Down on your knees. You can't hide from the eternal light until my last breath I will fight...I will fight...I will fight...I will fight...I will fight...! Now realize the stars they die, darkness has fallen in paradise! But we'll be strong and we will fight against the creatures of the night!" I sang, "Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness...The world is in your hand but I will fight until the end! Angel of darkness...Angel of darkness... Don't follow your command but I will fight and I will stand! Yeah, yeah!"

I sighed sadly... I knew what had to be done. And this will kill Leon from the inside.

Leon seemed to know what I was thinking. "Rally...don't."

I pushed away from the wall.

"Rally...I said 'don't'."

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't do it, Rally."

"I have to..."

"Damnit, Rally, I said 'No'!"

"I'm the only one that's free..."

"I don't care. Don't do this!"

"You saved me so many times...now it's my turn to save you."

"Rally, don't! If you kill your innocence...!"

"It's the only way to save you...I'm sorry..."

I took off running as Leon shrieked angrily from his trap behind me. I raced back into the open room and grabbed his equipment, then I barged into the Shooting Gallery, startling the Merchant. I dropped the items and marched up to him. I looked at him dead in the eye.

"Teach me how to shoot."

It was time...

I had to change...

For Leon's sake...

Leon...may you forgive me for what I'm going to do...

"Don't worry, Leon. I'm coming for ya."

------------------------------------------------------------

Leon's capture complete!! WHOO! I hope you enjoyed it!!!

I think what happened in RE: Gaiden does kind of explain why Leon's plaga advances so quickly. Besides, a normal kick to the face doesn't bust a head open in a spray of blood and gore. It's the type of power Wesker has. Wesker kicks and your head pops like a balloon. Rookie Cop Leon (before Gaiden) kicks and you're bound to have a broken nose at the worst. Agent Leon (after Gaiden) kicks and your head has a high chance of popping too. Coincidence? I don't think so. I believe that Gaiden is part of the RE timeline. Then again I can be wrong. I thought this out pretty well from all the info I've gathered and this is what I got. Leon probably doesn't notice because there's no obvious sign that's he changing and he hasn't gotten those cool, creepy cat eyes or something. So he goes on his merry way, thanking god that he's alive after the ordeal. Don't like it? Tough. I'm sticking to my theory. Flame me or correct me all you want...I'm not changing my mind but I willl love to hear what you say. But if it just you whining that I'm wrong then I'm not bothering to answer you.

Chat with ya later!!
