**Location: London – Old Archive, Leon's Apartment**
After the battle with Darius, Leon stood there, trembling. His body ached, yet deep inside, something was awakening. Elliot, still in shock, could barely process what he had just witnessed.
---
## **1. Leon and Elliot's Argument**
- Elliot steps back, his eyes locked on Leon's hands as the glow fades away.
- **Elliot:** "You… You're not human, are you?"
- **Leon** (staring at his hands): "I don't know what I've become."
- **Elliot:** "But this power… Have you used it before?"
- **Leon:** "No. This is the first time… But it doesn't feel like it belongs to me."
*Elliot, though afraid, was too intrigued to walk away. He needed to know the truth.*

## **2. Umbra Watches Leon**
- **Location: Umbra's Hidden Lair**
- Umbra senses Darius's defeat.
- A smirk forms in the shadows.
- *"Leon… You have awakened."*
- Umbra calls forth shadowy entities and gives them a command:
- *"Test him. He still denies his nature. Force him to accept it…"*
- Darkness begins spreading over London, creeping through the city like a living entity.

## **3. Leon's Inner Darkness**
- Leon returns home, staring at the place that no longer feels like his.
- That night, he dreams…
- He sees his reflection—yet it is not truly him.
- The reflection **smirks** and speaks:
- *"This is just the beginning."*
- Leon wakes up in a cold sweat. His hands flicker between light and shadow.
- A voice echoes in his mind:
- *"I am part of you, Leon…"*
*For the first time, Leon realizes—he may be the Light, but Darkness is also within him.*

## **4. The Shadows Attack**
- The next day, Leon and Elliot return to the archive.
- But on their way, they notice strange movements among people.
- These weren't just people anymore—the shadows had consumed them.
- **Elliot:** "Leon… These people… They're not human anymore!"
- Leon's heart pounds. The shadows are using them as puppets.
- For the first time, Leon must fight not to **defeat**, but to **protect**.
---
## **5. Leon's Decision**
- Leon battles the shadow puppets, but he refuses to kill.
- He manifests the **Blade of Light**, trying to dispel the corruption.
- But then—Umbra's laughter echoes in the air:
- *"You feel it, don't you? The power inside you? Unleash it, or you will always be weak!"*
- Leon is forced to push his power further.
- The entire area **erupts in light**, vanquishing the shadows—but at a cost.
- Leon collapses, overwhelmed by his own power.

## **6. Leon's First Encounter with Umbra**
- When Leon regains consciousness, **someone stands before him**.
- A figure clad in black, eyes glowing red—**Umbra.**
- **Umbra** (calmly): "I've been watching you, Leon. Tell me… Who do you think you are?"
- **Leon** (breathing heavily): "You… Who are you?"
- **Umbra** steps closer, shadows curling around him:
- *"I am the ruler of darkness. But you… You are my reflection. We are one."*
- **Leon:** "No… I'm not you!"
- **Umbra:** *"You don't understand now. But soon, you'll have no choice but to accept it."*
*Umbra vanishes into the shadows, leaving Leon shaken. This wasn't just a fight. It was destiny.*
