Resident Evil: The Ada Wong Chronicles

Summary: Leon looked forward towards the dark and imposing mansion that loomed before him. His breaths were short, his muscles were tense, yet his eyes belied confidence that he could survive anything that was waiting for him. "I'm coming for you Ada."

Choose your own path.

"Enter the Survival Horror."

Chapter 1 - "See You Around."

The door before him opened slowly, revealing a dimly lit, two floor hall that felt larger than what it actually was.

A familiar chill passed over his body, as the feeling of uncertainty settled into his mind and body. Leon took a cautious step forward into the mansion's main hall, all the while equiping his 9mm standard issue Beretta 92. It was the same hand gun that helped him escape the nightmare at Racoon City.

Surveying his surroundings, Leon noted that there were four doors on the first floor of the main lobby, oddly enough the two doors to his left were wooden, old school looking doors with rusted out knobs. To his right, there were two steel plated doors, a stark contrast to their beaten down counterparts on the left side of the hall.

The hall itself was both eerie and beautiful. There was a grand staircase in the middle of the hall, supported by two large pillars and accentuated by a royal blue carpet that lied perfectly centered upon the flight of stairs. The pillars were etched with drawings of, what Leon could only assume, were Gargoyles.

The actual stairs themselves were an egg shell white color, same as the surrounding walls which were littered with tapestries of Gargoyles similar to the ones etched into the pillars.

"Come in Leon, do you hear me?"

The sound of a voice resonating from his radio snapped Leon away from his surroundings.

"Hunnigan! Glad to hear your voice. Do you think you can get this place mapped out for me?"

"I'll get started on that right away. Just so you know, there are no records of this place's existence anywhere, do you have any idea why Ada told you to meet her there?"

"Tch, no, but when it comes to Ada that's the normal I suppose."

"Well, I'll let you know when the mapping is done. Leon be safe, Hunnigan out."

Leon took a deep breath. It would be a while before Hunnigan could map out the entire complex for him, but he knew that he had to start somewhere.

Taking one last glance around the hall, Leon decided to head towards the first wooden door to his left. If there was anything that he learned from all of his experiences, it was that the steel doors were always locked.

Stopping himself just short of the door, Leon took a second to check his inventory. 20 Handgun Ammo, one First-aid Spray, a Hunting knife, and one Hand grenade.

"This'll do," Leon muttered to himself. With the gun in his right hand, he utilized his left hand to turn the rusted door knob slowly, before pushing the door open with one swift motion. Just like he had done so many times before, Leon stormed into the room and immediately checked all of his sights while aiming his pistol. Left side, clear. Right side, clear.

Walking carefully, Leon kept his gun aimed, allowing his red dot scope to survey the room. Empty.

The room was small and designed completely differently from the main hall. The walls were old, the air was thick, and the room held a familiar stench that Leon knew all too well...dead people.

Deciding the coast was clear, Leon walked over to a small desk in the corner of the room with a letter lying on top of it. Before grabbing the letter, Leon opened the desk's drawer and found 10 Handgun Ammo. Next he grabbed the letter which read:

To The Warden,

As we had hoped, the infected have been performing as a semi-functional civilization and they have turned the basement of this complex into a home of sorts. The infected seem to know the exact times that we release live food to them, and in a surprising turn, they are actually hunting together. They still lack in most, if not all levels of intelligence, but progress is progress.

- Dr. Wong

"Dr. Wong?" Leon whispered the name to himself multiple times, yet the surprise remained the same each time. Something is going on here, I need to find Ada.

Glancing around the room once again Leon noted that there was a door leading to the next room, and above the doorway there was a hatch in the ceiling. He knew he couldn't reach the hatch, but Leon decided he wouldn't forget about it's whereabouts.

Moving forward, Leon opened the door, which unlike the last one, let out an audible screeching noise. Without even thinking, Leon raised his weapon as a blur of motion zoomed past him in the hallway of the door he just opened. Shit.

Using his stealth and military level training, Leon entered the hallway quickly and quietly, checking his sights with the handgun. A clang sounded off ahead, and Leon looked forward to see that the hallway before him lead in two different directions. Unafraid, Leon marched forward confidently until he got to the intersection of the hallway, where the two paths stood in front of him.

Another clanging noise could be heard in the distance, but Leon quickly realized this noise was not a false alarm. A half-naked zombie rushed towards Leon from the right hallway, faster than any he had encountered before. Reacting off of instinct, Leon raised his weapon and let off two shots aimed at the zombies' head. The first shot missed and the second shot landed in the undead's left shoulder, causing the vile creature to flinch. This gave Leon the opening he needed. In a few short seconds he ran up to the zombie and equipped his knife before mercilessly sinking his blade into the creature's skull.

Leon let out a scream as another zombie grabbed him from behind. First one was a fucking distraction.

Leon fought vigorously as he and the creature toppled over. The second zombie, which was a female, climbed on top of him looking for any opening to bite. A slab of drool fell from the zombies mutilated lips as Leon, in disgust, mustered enough strength to shove the zombie to the side of him.

Leon rose to his feet quickly and positioned himself by the zombies head before finally slamming his right foot against the creatures skull, resulting in the crackingling sound of bones breaking.

Leon had no time to bask in his victory, as the door at the end of the hallway slammed open, and a group of well over ten zombies flooded the small walkway.

Leon's mind slowed.

The zombies were close.

Death was close.

Leon's heart began to beat slowly as he considered his two options:

You the reader must choose...

Option A - Leon runs down the left hallway and deeper into the mansion.

Option B - Leon turns and runs back to the Main Hall.

A/N: Please Read & Review with your choice, I will follow up this introduction chapter with the endings to option A and option B. This is my first Resident Evil story but I am a long time fan of the gaming series. This story will have many similar mechanics to the games, so please enjoy and give criticism.

Yours Truly, Love War and Tragedy.
