Ada lays there in shock, the memories returning, the fear building. She would never had thought anything could survive the destruction of Raccoon City. Yet he did, after being stabbed in the head, he survived in that state. Ruven stands there for a moment, enjoying her fear as it builds. Her expression soon turns to frustration. At the corner of her eye, Ada sees her weapons, leaning against one of the metal pillars. She stands and sprints towards them in a second. But, as she aims her crossbow, Ruven disappears.
She tries to stay calm, but her anxiety weakens her senses. She looks all around, up on the walk ways, towards the only door in the room, the single light bulb aiming down on her. Suddenly, his voice breaks the silence. "What's wrong? What happened to that cocky attitude?" Ada's vision blurs with each passing second. "Strange, it's like you feel something that you never felt before. But I know it well."
She feels trapped, like if she moves, she's dead. "How," she manages to say, "how could you have survived?!"
Silence returns, and is gone in an instance. She blinks for a second, and he appears before her and grabs her by the neck. He lifts her up to his eye level. "Well… let's just say I got lucky." Ada struggles for breath as he continues. "But what really helped me… was my rage. I feel a need to kill all who anger me. Right now, I want to SEE YOU DEAD!"
He drops her to the ground. Immediately after, he kicks her to the other side of the factory, the sound of bones breaking are clear in the emptiness. Ada holds her side in pain, but still, she tries to fight. She stands slowly, Ruven walks slowly towards her, aching to kill her. She feels as though this is the end. Suddenly, he stops for a second. He turns towards the door, only to see a man aim a grenade launcher at him and shoot. He empties the whole clip on Ruven, the smoke clouds of the grenades too thick to see what's left. Even after each explosion, he doesn't stop, he just continues until the trigger only shot blanks.
Ada focuses, she sees it is Leon. He runs over to her in distress as she drops to her knees. "ADA?!" he yells as he helps her up. "Are you alright?!"
She slowly looks to him with relief, but soon changes to shock as her focus goes to the smoke cloud. "Run," she says, then screams. "RUN!"
Leon turns and sees Ruven, still standing, more pissed than ever. Leon leans Ada on his shoulder as they hurry out. As they hobble out, Ruven retrieves his mask and ties it back on. Leon and Ada run as fast as they can, trying to escape this immortal monster. Suddenly, Ada coughs up blood. Leon stops and tries to set her down. But Ada yells, "NO?! We have to go, don't stop!"
Leon sees the fear in her eyes, he couldn't believe it. He has never seen her this terrified, or ever. The calm, collective agent he knew now only shows distress.
Ruven isn't far behind, but struggles to follow them in the maze of corridors.
"ADAAA!" he roars, "WHERE ARE YOU!" he stops for a minute, listening for any kind of noise. Leon and Ada find a room with office supplies and cabinets inside, a window making up most of the wall on the other side of the room. Light shines through faintly, showing it's morning. They run inside, Leon locks the door and blocks it with the cabinets and such.
Ada rests against the wall, hiding her face with her arms. Leon kneels down and tries to comfort her. "Ada," he says, "look at me. We'll be alright, just hold out."
"Leon… you have to leave." she replies. She begins to calm down.
"...No… I'm not leaving you hear."
"He's after me… just go," she begins to sound more serious.
"Calm down, ones we get outside, Chris can…"
Ada stops him, looking up into his face with frustration. "JUST GO?!... You've seen what he's capable of. He survived Raccoon City, what makes you think you can and Chris can stop him?"
Leon is speechless for a moment, he recalls what Ada said. "Wait… he was there?"
"I thought I killed him, but he just wouldn't die. Now he wants me dead."
Leon couldn't believe what she was saying. He never thought Ada, of all people, would give up. It begs the question to what Ruven can do. Suddenly, the door is bashed open, the cabinet flung to the other side of the room, broken apart. He stands in the doorway for a moment, turning his head down to them.
Leon jumps up and lands a kick to his chest, but he doesn't flinch. He grabs Leon by the foot and tosses him towards the other side of the room. Ada can only look on, her wounds too great, as she watches him fight Leon. Ruven only walks towards him, his hands itching to rip him apart. Leon regains his balance and pulls out his handgun, aiming for the eyes. Two shots, a bullet in each eye, but Ruven just digs them out and waits for his eye to regenerate. "Is that all you got?" he says, seeming calm, only to be hiding the urge for total bloodshed.
He charges for Leon, ramming him against the wall. The impact causes the withered paint to chip and fall off. He grabs Leon by the legs and upper torso this time, and throws him to the ground. As Leon groans in pain, he feels Ruven's foot on his head, the pressure increasing. The groans turn to screams of pain, Ruven smiles under his mask. Ada watches in horror, she couldn't stand it and tries to help. But the wounds take their toll, she can't even stand now.
Ruven turns to Ada. "You know what," he says, "this is more fun. You watching as I'm about to kill him. Let's make it last."
He pushes harder, Leon continues to scream, Ada closes her eyes. Suddenly, the window shatters into millions of pieces, the increase in light blinds Ruven for a moment. He steps back and off of Leon. An unknown figure runs toward him. Ada holds her hands over her face as she tries to see who it is. It's revealed to be Chris, holding a large syringe of unknown liquid. He runs behind Ruven and stabs him in the neck, injecting the liquid. Ruven regains focus and grabs him by his head, raising him off the ground. He looks at him with annoyance. "What don't you get it, I can't… can't..."
Ruven suddenly loses his grip, his vision becoming blurry. Chris lands on his feet and moves Leon out of the way. Ruven struggles to keep his balance, his words becoming slurred and unrecognizable. Then, he falls to the ground, the impact breaking parts of the floor. The three finally breath at ease.
Ada looks in confusion. "What did you do?"
Chris picks up Leon and sets him next to her before answering. "Tranquilizer, enough to take down a raging Rhino, maybe two."
Ada looked stunned, surprised about not thinking that in the first place. "Hm… clever. He can't die, but even he can't stay up with that much in him."
"Reinforcements will be here in a minute, and this time, you're not going anywhere."
After what has happened, Ada rather be taken for questioning then near Ruven.
Chris manages to carry both Leon and Ada out as the reinforcements arrive. Each soldier looks as if they were planning on fighting an army the size of China, which seems perfect for Ruven. As they charge in to capture him, medics appear to help Leon and Ada. Chris leans against one of the armored trucks, trying to relax. But, knowing that his whole team was dead, made it difficult.
Suddenly, Chris hears one of the soldiers yell for him. "CAPTAIN! WE HAVE A PROBLEM!"
With that, he rushes back inside, back to the room Ruven was in, only to find him gone. He stands there for a few seconds, one of the soldiers attempting to ask of what to do now, but stopped by an angered Chris. "I WANT A SEARCH TEAM, OUTSIDE, NOW!"
Without daily, the soldiers fan out and search the area. Chris walks over to one of the walls, punching a hole in it with a curse. "DAMN IT!"
