It cures Leon before killing Gideon. Leon and Grace then escape as the United Nations' Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) from the Wolf Hound Squad arrives, and a soldier passes Leon a message from "Captain Redfield". Raccoon City Syndrome (2026) RE9 - LeoninPorche Leon arriving at the Wrenwood Hotel. Don't do anything stupid." "Me? Never. Leon's response to Sherry.[70] 28 years following the Raccoon City outbreak, the DSO decided to initiate an investigation into a mysterious case of unidentifable deadly illness that affected any survivors that had escaped the 1998 outbreak, with agents Kennedy and Birkin becoming two of its latest victims. In October 2026, the illness have claimed 4 victims of former Raccoon City survivors dying to this illness across the United States, with the 5th being reported to have found in the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel in the city of Wrenwood, a neighbouring city next to the desolate Raccoon City. Eventually, Kennedy came to Elbridge, a place within Wrenwood where the 6th body was found in an alley near the railway. He confirmed to his current FOS support Birkin whose role was force to relegate due to her syndrome. Using the info of his fellow agent Andrew Hughes, Birkin directed Kennedy's suspicion to Victor Gideon, former Umbrella scientist and t-Virus researcher. LeonAndGraceSplit Kennedy and Ashcroft split up in Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. Birkin tipped Kennedy off about a missing officer near the Wrenwood Hotel, prompting him to check the location. While being stuck in traffic, Kennedy spot Gideon carrying an unconscious girl on his back. Rushing out to meet him, Kennedy saw Gideon shooting several people with a dart gun, infecting people with a new mutated strain of the t-Virus, thereby triggering a small outbreak. He ushered several people to safety, and killed any infected civilians. He quickly radioed in Birkin to have Wrenwood in lockdown, before successfully containing the outbreak. However, Kennedy had lost sight of Gideon but using Hughes's intel, Birkin directed him to Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, formerly sponsored by the Spencer Foundation before being bought by Gideon following Umbrella's collapse in 2004. Arriving at the outskirts of Wrenwood, Kennedy arrived at the facility where he was welcomed by a newly recruited nurse, who told him Gideon had been expecting him. He let himself be guided to an examination room in the East Wing where he was told to wait. Unbeknownst to Kennedy, Gideon had been watching him through hidden surveillance, and ordered a Code 6 when the agent arrived. While waiting, Kennedy inspected an old photo of Gideon before alarms blared Code 6. The nurse shortly returned, asking him to be evacuated after claiming mass hysteria had affected all patients and staffs. However, shortly after, the nurse was killed by a chainsaw-wielding doctor, forcing Kennedy to battle the newly infected. While exploring the care center, Kennedy came across Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst who was abducted by Gideon during her investigation of the burnt hotel, crawling for freedom before being dragged away by a giant B.O.W. Kennedy saved her in time, by seemingly kill the creature. Following Ashcroft's introduction, Kennedy was surprised of FBI's presence. Before they could leave, Gideon triggered the facility's lockdown, separating them both. Before the shutters fully closed, Kennedy asked why she was targeted by Gideon, but could not get an answer. Worried for her safety, Kennedy handed Ashcroft his DSO-issued Magnum 'Requiem' to protect herself told her to leave. As Kennedy was left in the dark, he met Gideon who tried to initiate a conversation but he immediately attacked him. However, Gideon was able to choked him, and saw his black bruises as their shared "Umbrella's curse" before he was knocked unconscious. For hours, Kennedy was unconscious and dragged to the attic to be interrogated by Gideon. The man wanted to question him, but Kennedy kept silent, only responding through taunts. Frustrated, Kennedy was cut by Gideon but before he could be tortured, he broke free and tried to attack Gideon who fled. Reestablishing contact with Birkin, Kennedy announced his objective of going to Gideon's private office. Descending to the 3rd floor, and found his hidden office, Kennedy purposefully inputted the wrong password, paving the way for Birkin to access Gideon's files. She retrieved documents about the latent onset t-Virus syndrome, referred to Gideon as Raccoon City Syndrome. Kennedy looked defeated as Birkin confirmed they were all infected with residual t-Virus laid dormant within their bodies, and were slowly dying from degradation. Furthermore, Kennedy uncovered another document with the word Elpis, and a picture of Ashcroft. He wondered how she was related to the keyword. Just then, Kennedy noticed a spiralling helicopter, with Ashcroft within the co-pilot seat before they crashed at the cemetery. Quickly grabbing a nearby rifle, Kennedy assisted Ashcroft from afar as she rescued a young blind girl named Emily, and fled to chapel when the cemetery became ridden with zombies attracted to the crash. After they managed to get in, Kennedy reunited with Ashcroft who was trying to stem Emily's bleeding, and told her to go the water treatment facility. He stayed behind as he dealt zombies to buy them time to escape. However, shortly after, Kennedy was forced to shoot the mutated Emily when she was resuscitated by Ashcroft, despite her cries and protests. Though Kennedy tried to console her, Ashcroft blamed herself and tossed Requiem, leaving him behind. Kennedy tried to go after her but cough up blood, as his syndrome advanced to stage two. Determined to save Ashcroft and learn why she was connected to Elpis, Kennedy head to the old ruins of Raccoon City. En route to Raccoon City, Birkin contacted Kennedy and informed him Elpis was not documented nor mentioned on CIA servers or the Pentagon. When Birkin asked for higher clearance, she was ordered to terminate the investigation. Kennedy was confused at the sudden obstruction but cautioned her against risking disciplinary or legal repercussions. Birkin refused to disengage, insisting she would continue to assist him regardless of the consequences. Arriving at East of Raccoon City, Kennedy was directed by Birkin to go to Raccoon City centre based on the coordinates she had found from Gideon's computer. While there, he fought against the Titan Spinner and its children, before arriving just outside the gate with a line of wall erected by the army. Kennedy found a camp of BSAA's North American branch, and was briefed by Birkin on their internal dispute, with the NA brach operating independently. Searching for detonators to blow the gate open, Kennedy came across a dead BSAA unit, and retrieved footage from a soldier's recording camera, asking Birkin to find the killer's identity, a man sharing similar apperance and powers to that of Wesker. However, Kennedy learnt the man himself was a "ghost", with no public records. Gathering all three parts of the detonator, Kennedy blew the gate open, and used a nearby motorcycle curtesy of the BSAA to drive to the centre. On the highway, Kennedy was pursued by several Garmr, and Gideon who wield rocket launchers to try and kill him. Despite Gideon's attempts, Kennedy successfully leak fuel out of his motorcycle, and ignite it, causing Gideon to tumble into the chasm below with an explosion soon followed. Thinking he had killed Gideon, Kennedy proceeded to the Raccoon Police Department where the BSAA had used it as their main base, surveilling on ARK as soon as 2023. Finding a terminal computer, Kennedy found Ashcroft and the man Zeno were conversing at the East Wing. Along the way, he paid respect to Lt. Branagh, many fallen officers of STARS and RPD, and Kendo. Getting to their location, Kennedy eavesdropped the conversation the two had, leading to Ashcroft eventually feeling shell-shocked and overwhelmed when she thought she had been responsible for many deaths in the search to unlock Elpis. Kennedy intervened but Zeno summoned the T-501 to deal with him, as he carried Ashcroft's unconscious body to ARK. Pursued through R.P.D and outside, he was beaten several times by T-501, before he loose its coat, turning it to Super Tyrant. Eventually, Kennedy bursts its heart out. Having overheard mentions of the Raccoon City Orphanage act as entrance to ARK, Kennedy head there where he was attacked by several seedlings grown from Plant 43. Descending to the deep grounds, Kennedy finally kills the plant, and enters ARK. Inside, Kennedy spotted crates belonging to H.C.F., TRICELL and Umbrella. All personnel that were in the White House on the day of the hacking were subjected to investigation, which is to be led by four selected federal agents: Patrick, Jason, Shen Mei and Kennedy, who was running late so the initial meeting took place in the Oval Office without him.[57] Leon and the agents protecting Graham. Right as Kennedy arrived at the White House, the power went out and the Secret Service sprang to action, ready to take Graham to the Beast (the Presidential State Car) if necessary. When the backup power failed to turn on, it became clear the suspected mole from the previous night was still in the White House. The agents left the Oval Office to search for the mole; Patrick encountered and was almost bitten by the mysteriously zombified White House Press Secretary Spacer when Kennedy shot him dead. He met with Graham at the Oval Office and warned him of the situation; the escape to the Beast was called off in favor of the bunker. Kennedy, Shen Mei and Jason began scouring for zombies, while Patrick was sent to the bunker with Secret Service detail for Graham's protection. Metro SWAT were called in as backup just in case. They soon find that the virus had spread rapidly, infecting dozens of staff members. However, they were able to eliminate the infected and The White House was cleared of all zombies.[57] After consideration, Graham decided it was best to cover up the incident, and the victims were declared to have gone on leave. Claire Redfield later spot Kennedy, much to his surprise, and was confided about her discovery of a biohazard in Penamstan. Later, the DIA's investigation determined the stolen files were of a bio-research facility in Shanghai. A top-secret operation was drawn up, in which Kennedy, Jason and Shen Mei were to infiltrate the facility. They wer flown to Guam and boarded one of the new Virginia-class submarines at Apra Harbor, modified for SONAR stealth and provided with a modified Advanced SEAL Delivery System (ASDS) midget submarine.[57] Jason and Leon Jason and Leon share their traumas. During the trip, Jason began to open up to Kennedy about his days in the Army and Penamstan Civil War, with Kennedy being all too familiar with dealing of Zombies. They had separated views of things, however; when Jason described the bombing of Raccoon City as a necessary operation to save the United States, Kennedy pushed back, still bitter over the Army's cowardly withdrawal. The submarine was unexpectedly rocked, and they head to the bridge, only to found the crew had been killed. While Kennedy head over to the engineering section, Jason met up with Shen Mei en route to the ASDS. He arrived to find the engineers have also been killed, finding mutant rats had burrowed into their bodies. Due to the dangers of using firearms on board a submarine, Kennedy sealed them behind a hatch. When the self-destruct system was triggered, Kennedy ran to the ASDS, electrocuting another swarm of rats on the way. When reaching the ASDS, Shen Mei put a gun to his head but was ordered to stand down by Jason. The two escape with Kennedy as their prisoner, bound for Shanghai as the submarine explodes.[56] The ASDS reached Shanghai, and they head over to a safe house that was set up for their mission. Kennedy suspected the two were traitors working for the Chinese, and though Jason instead told him he was working to expose a conspiracy within the government, he didn't believe it. The discussion turned violent, with both men reaching for their guns; Kennedy emerged unscathed with Jason sustaining a gunshot wound to the chest, but Shen Mei managed to escape during the fight.[56] Shenmei's confrontation Leon confronts Shenmei. Kennedy tailed her to her family's mansion outside of Shanghai, where he took Hao Ran hostage and demanded the truth. During Penamsatan Civil War, she was handling radio communications between Wilson and the soldiers. However, she was forbid to respond to Mad Dogs' request for evacuation, even when they reported having picked up a survivor from Alpha Two, Jun Shī, who was her brother. When they unexpectedly arrived at base, Shen Mei confronted them, only to find Jun Shī afflicted with Cannibal Disease. Since then, she had been working with Jason, trying to find evidence and publicly expose Wilson for conspiring to deploy bio-weapons in Penamstan. Though dismissive of Jason, Leon found her more persuasive when she showed him her brother's remains. The Mad Dogs filed false reports about the incident, though only Jason and Shenmei were prepared to investigate Wilson while others were discharged. She used her family connections to have Jun Shī quietly smuggled out over the Chinese border to escape euthanasia. After six years of investigating, they had come no closer to exposing the conspiracy until a recent breakthrough: a computer chip planted on Jun Shī when he was infected, which had been recording biometric data on behalf of a B.O.W. manufacturer involved in the Penamstan incident, who they may be able to identify. Suddenly, the mansion was destroyed in a bomb blast; the ceiling caved in, crushing her brother, Hao Ran and her grandfather, Kennedy managed to drag her out before its destruction.[58] They stand alone in the ruins, though still have the chip with them. She begged Kennedy to hand it over so the conspiracy could be exposed. He declined on the fact that even if she leaked the information, she would be killed by US agents. Kennedy deduced Jason was to blame for the explosion and was planning to conduct acts of terror in revenge for his experiences in Penamstan, rather than seeking justice.[58] Leon tries to save Claire Leon saving Claire from the acid They return to the U.S. intent on apprehending Jason, with Kennedy notifing Patrick of their discovery. They entered a research facility located beneath Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland where Graham was holding a press conference. They found Jason had failed to take his inhibitor medication and was mutating into a large humanoid mutant. Wilson was infected after being bitten in the neck by him. The facility's supercomputer determined a biohazard was taking place, and began to dump tanks one by one, containing unconscious super-soldiers into a vat of highly corrosive acids. She pleaded, but Jason could no longer control his violent impulses and killed her, planning instead to emerge on the surface and massacre the attendants on live TV. Claire, who was kidnapped by Wilson's agent after her ongoing investigation about the Mad Dogs squad, was put at risk by the acid, which has reached her floor. When he spot her, Kennedy chose to save her rather than continue pursuing Jason.[59] Kennedy armed himself with a bazooka from a nearby armory, ready to blow up Jason if necessary, but his attempt failed as Jason countered, with Kennedy almost being knocked into the acid. Kennedy caught up and destroyed Jason's right arm with an anti-materiel rifle, only for Jason to grab him by the neck. Rather than killing him, Jason chose to spared him in favour of his plans. To save the President, Kennedy pulled a lever and send their section falling to the acid, and escaped by grabbing hold of a cable. As the acid began to recede, Kennedy found Jason still alive, though dissolving while embedded onto a piece of metal. He warned him the spread of true fear, before falling below and dissolving completely. Back on the surface, Kennedy saw Graham off on Air Force One.[59] Leon seeing Claire 2006 Leon sees Claire again. Late in the afternoon, Kennedy found Claire outside the White House. She asked for the chip so she could deliver it to the press. However, he refuses because of what Jason said about his willingness to spread terror in people. She was disappointed in his decision, commenting the "outfit" didn't suit him and left. He promised to himself he would stop it, and proceeded for the press.[59] Wesker's Death and Meeting Chris (2010) In the following three years, Wesker built up a criminal empire for himself with Tricell's resources, leading to massive fragmentation upon his death at the hands of the BSAA in 2009. In 2010, at one of the TerraSave reunions, Kennedy and Chris Redfield met for the first time, thanks to Claire's presentation, and created a friendship that would help break the barrier between the BSAA and the United States government.[60] Eastern Slav Civil War (2011) Well then, I guess my only option is to lose my American citizenship for a while. Leon to Ingrid Hunnigan regarding the United States pulling their troops out of the Eastern Slav Republic.[61] Counter-terrorism policy changed in the presidency of President Adam Benford, a friend of Kennedy's who had recruited him into USSTRATCOM. The Anti-Umbrella Pursuit and Investigation Unit was disbanded, and its agents transferred to the newly founded Division of Security Operations at the start of 2011. Leon arrives at Eastern Slav Republic Kennedy during his mission to the Eastern Slav Republic. In February 2011, the U.S. began investigating allegations rebel forces in the Eastern Slav Republic's ongoing civil war were using bio-weapons. Kennedy was ordered out of his vacation to meet up with a CIA agent, "Scarecrow", and use any information to aid in his investigation. The situation reversed soon after Kennedy's arrival, when the government ordered its agents pull out of the country. Kennedy ignored these orders and made his way through the war-torn Holigrad. He succeeded in meeting with Scarecrow, but he soon died of wounds stemming from an attack by Lickers, and could only utter the word "beekeeper". Soon after, Kennedy was captured by Ivan Judanovich, the rebel leader, who was using a Dominant species Plaga to control the parasitised Lickers. Kennedy woke up in a basement tied up, and guarded by Alexander Kozachenko and "JD", who were concerned about why an American would be sent into the area. The intended interrogation failed to take place when the house became target to a search by the Eastern Slav army. Kennedy himself took note of Judanovich, who sat in the room coughing, and immediately suspected he was deteriorating due to bio-weaponry. The three rebels abandoned their basement hideout and proceeded through tunnels to escape the Army, with Kennedy following them. In the tunnels, Kennedy was attacked by a Ganado, a former rebel leader named Chenkov who's mind had been taken over by the parasite. Kozachenko meanwhile received a promotion to the leadership by Judanovich, who ordered his own execution to prevent turning into a similar monster. Kennedy is surrendered and interrogated Kennedy is surrounded and interrogated by Alexander and JD. Kennedy and JD escaped the tunnels on their own, headed to a church the rebels were using as a base. The two evaded a number of Ganados, and witnessed the unforeseen effects of the rebels' use of them, seeing numerous civilians implanting parasites into captives. When they arrived at the church, JD accused Kennedy of being behind what had happened to the people of the town. Kennedy informed him of the Plaga, telling him that it was a parasite infecting the bodies of those people. He also told JD of the harsh truth that those infected will never be human again the most one could achieve is to remove the spinal cord and hoping for paralysis. At that moment, Buddy entered the church with two other members of the resistance, a third watching Kennedy from above. Buddy informed JD that Kennedy was telling the truth, then told Kennedy that he had more questions for him. Responding that he perhaps this time they can get to the truth, Buddy promptly punched Kennedy and had the other rebels take him hostage again. After Buddy departed, JD ordered the other soldiers to allow him to speak with Kennedy alone. He was taken outside where JD cut his bindings. Kennedy immediately reacted, slamming JD against the wall and criticizing the methods of the rebel group, using B.O.W.s. Although JD tried to rationalize it and vie for sympathy, Kennedy dismissed it, telling JD that it was something the two of them would never see eye-to-eye on. As Kennedy prepared to leave, JD told Kennedy of Buddy's past. He explained how the government soldiers attacked the school Buddy used to work at with his fiancée, Irina, thinking the school was to support the rebels. Kennedy found out that when Irina and the school children were killed in the attack, Buddy decided to join the resistance. JD pleaded with Kennedy to save Buddy, to get to the Plaga before him so that he didn't have to see his friend turn into a monster. Returning his machine gun to him, JD told Kennedy that Buddy was heading to the central marketplace where the Council of Elders had left the Plaga for the rebels. Kennedy silently took his gun back and headed off to the marketplace. Global Bioterrorist Attacks (2013) I can't believe this is happening again. It's just like Raccoon. Leon to Helena Harper regarding the outbreak at Tall Oaks[63] Resident Evil 6 Trailer 02 Kennedy during the Tall Oaks Incident Kennedy met with President Benford at Ivy University in Tall Oaks on Saturday 29 June 2013, where he was informed of the President's new policy for the War on Terror. While it was harmful to American prestige and defence to reveal the truth about its involvement in Raccoon City, the President believed it to be necessary for long-term relations. In the evening President Benford was infected with newly engineered virus, the Chrysalid Virus, in an apparent terrorist attack just before his speech was due, and reluctantly killed by Kennedy when he tried to kill a Secret Service agent, Helena Harper.[64] Kennedy escaped the city to the Tall Oaks Cathedral on Harper's advisement, where she led him to a limestone cavern where a bio-weapons research facility was based. There she revealed to him her sister had been abducted on the orders of National Security Adviser Derek C. Simmons to force her participation in a plot to assassinate President Benford. Simmons's organisation, The Family, had taken it upon itself to research bio-weapons on behalf of the United States in order to guarantee the U.S. beat rival countries such as China in a hypothetical Bio Weapons gap. As footage and accounts of the U.S. Army's action in Raccoon City was useful combat data for B.O.W. manufacturers, Benford's proposal was seen as reckless and a threat to national security. With Simmons controlling the countermeasures for the outbreak, the city of 77,000 was bombed on Sunday morning, wiping away any evidence implicating the Family, and denying the release of footage useful as combat data. An organisation calling itself Neo Umbrella claimed responsibility for the attack, and began another in the Chinese city of Lanshiang. RE6 Captivate 0003 bmp jpgcopy Kennedy reunites with Sherry and meets Jake Muller in Lanshiang. Soon after the bombing, Kennedy and Harper got in touch with Hunnigan and had her misreport them as deceased following Simmons' declaration of them as suspects in the attack, having learned he was bound for China. The two were booked onto a flight to take their investigation to him. On their way to China, complications arose when a Lepotica chrysalid hatched in the plane, infecting all the passengers with the C-Virus. Kennedy and Harper were forced to fight their way through the zombie infested plane, and it crashes close by where Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin happen to be. When the four met, Kennedy asked Sherry what she is doing there, she replied that she was on protective detail. Sherry returned the same question to Kennedy, in which he responded that he and Harper were trying to track down Simmons, the man behind all of the chaos. When Sherry told him that she reported to Simmons. During Leon's argument with Sherry, Ustanak appeared on the destroyed plane, and the four of them team up to defeat the creature. After a heated battle, Kennedy and Harper were separated from Jake and Sherry when an electrical tower fell on Ustanak. Sherry yelled to Kennedy that she and Jake were meeting Simmons at the Kwun Lung building. Before Kennedy could tell her what to do, the tower exploded. As Harper wondered if they would be alright, Kennedy told her that they would be, as long as Jake was as good as he claimed to be. While making their way to Koocheng, Kennedy and Harper had to search through a whole market for three keys to unlock a door, all while they were being chased by a Rasklapanje. They managed to kill it by forcing it into a grinder. Leon vs. Chris Kennedy clashes with Chris Redfield. When Kennedy and Harper found "Wong", they followed her into a building, dodging several traps along the way. Eventually, they got to a room just in time to see Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans cornering her, whom they believed to be the one responsible for the deaths of Chris' men and the outbreaks that have occurred. Chris had his assault rifle aimed and ready to shoot when Kennedy knocked it out of his hands to prevent him from killing her. They had a brief struggle, ending with the two pointing their guns at each other. Kennedy told Chris to put his gun down, saying that she was a "key witness" and they needed her, but Chris refused and abstractly told Kennedy that she is the one who committed the global bio-terrorist attacks. Kennedy disagreed, saying that it was Simmons who was really responsible. Chris yelled that he lost all of his men because of "Wong", and Kennedy responded that he lost over seventy thousand people including the president because of Simmons. After a tense moment "Wong" managed to escape with a flash bomb, and Chris pursued her with no intention of harming her after Kennedy's words. Kennedy and Harper then made their leave to find Simmons.[65] Reaching the Kwun Lung building, Kennedy assured Harper that it was alright for them to pursue Simmons and let Chris follow "Wong." Going inside, they found Simmons and his henchmen from The Family, and Sherry and Jake joined them shortly afterwards. To answer Sherry's questions, Simmons admitted to be involved in the terrorists attacks, but blamed Kennedy for the president's death. The Family then fired on the four, causing them to hide for cover. When Kennedy and Harper told Sherry and Jake to escape while they stayed behind to fight Simmons, Sherry gave them a chip containing information that could stop the C-Virus. As she and Jake made their escape, Kennedy and Harper open fired on The Family. Then they jumped onto a nearby train to pursue Simmons, who was shot with a C-Virus dart by a J'avo. Leon and Helena vs Simmons Mutation 1 Kennedy and Harper fight against mutant Simmons. Simmons stumbled away to a passing train and Harper and Kennedy gave pursuit, jumping onto the train after him. As they found him at the front of the train Simmons tried to divert their attention at first by placing blame on Wong, then tried to rationalize his actions. Kennedy and Harper dismissed his remarks as Simmons became enraged and eventually succumbed to the effects of the enhanced C-Virus, his body rupturing and granting him the ability to mutate into a larger canine-like creature of bone and muscle tissue. Unflinching, Harper prepares to take a final shot at Simmons. The two agents fought with the mutated Simmons throughout the series of train cars, though he showed no signs of stopping and only taunted Harper with her sister's death. He even proved strong enough to knock another series of oncoming train cars off of the railing. Simmons prepared to ram the train they were on head-on, though they managed to trip him up as they opened fire, causing the train to ram him and flip him back on top of the train. His body briefly succumbed to the damage it received and reverted to his human form. He recovered quickly and as he started to mutate, Simmons declared that they have no idea what would happen if he were to die. Kennedy retorted that the world would be better off without him. Enraged, Simmons used his brute strength to dislodge a piece of the train's roof and send it flying towards Kennedy and Harper. Kennedy managed to slide and shoot the debris to knock it off course, giving Harper an opening just as it passed overhead as she fired one bullet directly into the mutated Simmons' head. Becoming distraught with the situation before him as The Family abandoned him, Simmons slipped from the edge of the train and fell on to the tracks, the train running over him in the process. The cars became dislodged from the rails and Harper and Kennedy were forced to leap off and into the water nearby. Alive and exhausted, they pulled themselves ashore just outside of Tatchi. They briefly overlooked the wreckage caused on the bridge railroad before walking up off of the dock, watching as civilians were being escorted to safety by the BSAA. Harper asked Kennedy if the ordeal was finally over to which Kennedy replied, "Yeah... it's over." RE6-Chapter5-Leon Kennedy and Harper amidst in the chaos of the Tatchi outbreak. Before Harper and Kennedy could relax, Hunnigan suddenly contacted them to inform them that Sherry and Jake had been abducted. Harper realized that the files that Sherry gave them had something to do with it and as they looked over the files, she pointed out to Kennedy how the key to stopping the C-Virus actually lies in Jake Muller. As Kennedy tries to get in contact with someone in the BSAA to help rescue them, Harper spots an object in the sky just above. With Chris patched through, Kennedy informed him of their location only to have Chris urgently yell for them to leave the area. The object overhead that Harper spotted was a missile that released the C-Virus in a blue fog over Tatchi, infecting countless people. Kennedy told Chris to find Sherry and Jake and rescue them and Harper overhears as Chris in turn told Kennedy that Wong was dead. Concerned, Harper asked Kennedy if he was alright, but Kennedy only distantly mentioned finding survivors and escaping the city. With the help of some BSAA operators, Kennedy and Harper manage to avoid the blue fog and escape into a truck with one of the soldiers. The soldier drives them through the fog to the edge of the danger zone, directing them to the Quad Tower where evacuees were being taken. Chaos reminiscent of Tall Oaks was everywhere as a stray gas tanker knocked them both out briefly. As they came to, infected citizens began to surround them until Wong suddenly appeared in a helicopter, providing them with cover-fire to make their escape. They managed to find their way to a bridge overrun with zombies that would lead directly to the Quad Tower. However, a plane set inside a building dislodged itself, starting a series of explosions that destroyed the bridge. Harper and Kennedy were forced to run, making their way to a BSAA helicopter to escape only to find the pilot was injured. Kennedy took the controls of the failing helicopter, managing to keep it suspended enough to crash through the side of the Quad Tower. Barely escaping the crash, Kennedy and Harper proceeded deeper into the tower. Leon vs Dino-Simmons Kennedy battling Simmons' third mutation Harper brings up Kennedy's feelings for Wong. As they entered the Quad Tower, Harper and Kennedy were shocked to find Simmons waiting for them. Still greatly angered, he mutated into a new, gigantic form as he witnessed Wong circling overhead in her helicopter. With the help of Wong and the BSAA soldier they met back at the danger zone, they managed to bring Simmons' monstrous mutation down once again. Wong retreated to the roof with her helicopter and Harper hoped the elevator was still operational. Noticing Kennedy's hesitation, she asked him what was wrong but he insisted it was nothing. On the elevator ride up, Harper finally spoke up about Wong, pointing out Kennedy's obvious feelings for her. Before Kennedy could respond, the elevator was blown off course by an explosion, forcing the agents to make a wild leap on top of the neighboring elevator. Together, they climbed the support cable only to witness Wong fighting with Simmons on top of a nearby connecting hallway between two of the towers. Resident Evil 6 Derek C Simmons 03 Kennedy protects Ada during his battle against Simmons fourth mutation. With Wong evading to another section of the tower, Harper and Kennedy found the opportunity to fire on Simmons from afar until the platform they stopped on began to fall, forcing them to jump back on to the cable. Simmons' attention shifted to the two agents as they climbed further. Harper tried to call out for Wong's help as Wong returned the favor, trying to slow Simmons down with gunfire. It was not long before Simmons went after Wong again, giving Harper and Kennedy the chance to find even ground once more until Kennedy found a way over to help Wong as she was knocked out by Simmons. From afar, Harper could do nothing but provide cover fire for the two while fending off whatever zombies shambled her way. Though Harper was helpless as Simmons managed to knock Kennedy to the edge of the platform, leaving him dangling until Wong came to his rescue. With Simmons dispatched, Wong bid Kennedy a final farewell before departing, though Harper urged him over their comms to go after her. Kennedy refused, stating that he and Harper were sticking together. Harper urges Kennedy to follow after Wong. Reaching the roof, they discovered Simmons had survived their last encounter, mutated further as he absorbed the bodies of the infected to power himself. Though Simmons briefly blocked their exit, they managed to injure him enough to the point he was defenseless as surrounding undead swarmed and began to feed on him. They took note of the helicopter Wong had left for them and rushed to it, though Simmons – newly mutated into a massive amalgamation of different insects – tried to stop them once more. Noting how Simmons used the bodies of infected to regenerated, they used a loosened lightning rod to impale a zombie as Simmons took it in to regenerate its damaged head. The rod attracted the lightning from the ongoing storm, causing the electrified creature to crash through the floor. They reached the helicopter, but the injured and fully mutated Simmons attempted to stop them. Leon and Helena leave Tatchi Kennedy and Harper leave Tatchi after eliminating Simmons. The agents managed to terminate Simmons with a rocket launcher left behind by Wong, the blast of the launcher knocking Simmons back and deep into the belly of the tower. As Simmons fell, his body mutated back into his human state just as he was impaled on the obelisk Harper and Kennedy passed earlier, bleeding him out from his wound. Watching Simmons' death, Harper spoke of her finally getting revenge for her sister as Kennedy suggested they get to the helicopter. In the helicopter, the two found a compact left behind by Wong with a hidden compartment. Inside the compartment was a small data disk containing all of the evidence needed to prove that Simmons was behind the bioterrorist attacks, the evidence to ensure Kennedy's innocence. When Kennedy said it would prove both of their innocence, Harper could only sadly remark that she did not need it. Before he could retort, Hunnigan called to inform the two of them that a way to stop the C-Virus was found. Before the collapsing Quad Tower could catch up to them completely, they made their escape in Wong's helicopter. HelenaGun2 Kennedy returns Harper's gun to her, along with her freedom. Sometime after surviving the events in China, Harper visited the grave of her sister with Hunnigan, Kennedy, and other agents present. Remarking that it is time for her to take responsibility, she thanked Kennedy and said that she was ready to be taken into custody for her crimes. With a nod of approval from Hunnigan, Kennedy approached and took Harper's arm, though instead of arresting her, he placed her gun in her hand. Harper was confused, proclaiming that she was an accessory to the attack on the president. Hunnigan informed Harper that upon reviewing the evidence, it was decided that it was not fair to hold Harper responsible for Simmons' crimes and further said that the findings wouldn't be made public. When she tried to protest, Kennedy told her that President Benford would have done the same thing. Hunnigan suggested they go join the rest of the team, though before departing Harper gave Wong's compact back to Kennedy, so that he can return it the next time he crosses paths with her.[66] A-Virus incidents and New York outbreak (2014) When I was a kid, I used to think about the kind of man I'd grow up to be... I never thought my life would turn out this way. Leon contemplates his life of fighting B.O.W.s and joining the DSO[67] Leonvendetta Kennedy sad for the death of his squad Sometime in 2014, Kennedy lead a team of DSO agents to Bethesda, Maryland. Their mission was to apprehend and extract information from Senator Stephen Eyre, who had been divulging information to The Family. Unbeknownst to them, Eyre's Porsche and DSO vehicles had been rigged with explosives, which detonated as the team approached. Kennedy was the only survivor and later visited the morgue, viewing the corpses of his team. One began to stir inside the body bag, having been infected and turned into a zombie, forcing Kennedy to put them down. Unfortunately, his action "woke up" the rest, so Kennedy had to put them down as well. Following this failed mission, Kennedy took a vacation to Colorado, secluding himself in a quiet lodge. There, he began to heavily drink to cope with the trauma from the mission as well as his growing desolation with his work. His demeanor concerned Redfield, who noted his behavior reminded him of himself in Edonia.[68] During his vacation, Kennedy was approached by Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers, aiming to consult him about the recent B.O.W. "attacks" in the U.S. and Mexico by Glenn Arias – the viral strain which he was using, allowed him to control them with the aid of a Plaga sample provided by Los Iluminados. Kennedy was reluctant to help them, asking when all the fighting would even end. It was only after Chamber's kidnap that Kennedy agreed to team up with Redfield and find the target of Arias' next attack. Leon in the motorcycle after killing Cerberus Kennedy during New York Outbreak Kennedy and Redfield, together with the Silver Dagger team, went to New York where Arias was planning a mass attack through the use of tankers carrying the airborne 'trigger' for the virus. There, they were provided with transportation to help with their mission: a Hummer that Redfield took, and a Ducati motorcycle for Kennedy. After destroying the first fuel truck, Redfield, Kennedy and Damian were attacked by infected dogs that swiftly decapitated the latter before turning their attention to Redfield. He loudly revved his bike to attract the dogs before speeding off with them in pursuit, allowing Redfield to continue destroying the virus-filled tanker trucks. Leading the dogs onto the expressway, Kennedy dispatched the two infected dogs and rushed to Arias's headquarter to help Redfield. Arriving in time to help him kill of the remaining zombies of the first wave, the duo were confronted with even more. Leon vs. mutant Glenn Arias Kennedy is immobilized by the mutant Glenn Arias. Kennedy and Redfield managed to hold them back until the latter decided time was running out for Chambers. He told Redfield to save Rebecca while he stayed behind. After Arias mutated into a powerful monster, Kennedy arrived just in time at the roof top to save Redfield from Arias, slamming his bike into his legs. He skillfully dodged Arias's attacks and stunned him. When Arias was grabbing onto the osprey piloted by a Silver Dagger member, Kennedy rode his bike at high speed and slam the vehicle into Arias. He then shot the bike, causing it to explode and severely injuring Arias before he was killed by Redfield. Chris, Leon Rebecca New York outbreak end Chambers with Redfield and Kennedy after the end of the New York outbreak After Arias's death, Kennedy looked back upon his life and wondered how long they have to continue fighting B.O.W.s, only for Redfield to jokingly reply with a prior comment of Kennedy's about never making plans that far ahead. San Francisco Serial Murders and Alcatraz Outbreak (2015) Raccoon City Syndrome (2026) RE9 - LeoninPorche Leon arriving at the Wrenwood Hotel. Don't do anything stupid." "Me? Never. Leon's response to Sherry.[70] 28 years following the Raccoon City outbreak, the DSO decided to initiate an investigation into a mysterious case of unidentifable deadly illness that affected any survivors that had escaped the 1998 outbreak, with agents Kennedy and Birkin becoming two of its latest victims. In October 2026, the illness have claimed 4 victims of former Raccoon City survivors dying to this illness across the United States, with the 5th being reported to have found in the abandoned Wrenwood Hotel in the city of Wrenwood, a neighbouring city next to the desolate Raccoon City. Eventually, Kennedy came to Elbridge, a place within Wrenwood where the 6th body was found in an alley near the railway. He confirmed to his current FOS support Birkin whose role was force to relegate due to her syndrome. Using the info of his fellow agent Andrew Hughes, Birkin directed Kennedy's suspicion to Victor Gideon, former Umbrella scientist and t-Virus researcher. LeonAndGraceSplit Kennedy and Ashcroft split up in Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. Birkin tipped Kennedy off about a missing officer near the Wrenwood Hotel, prompting him to check the location. While being stuck in traffic, Kennedy spot Gideon carrying an unconscious girl on his back. Rushing out to meet him, Kennedy saw Gideon shooting several people with a dart gun, infecting people with a new mutated strain of the t-Virus, thereby triggering a small outbreak. He ushered several people to safety, and killed any infected civilians. He quickly radioed in Birkin to have Wrenwood in lockdown, before successfully containing the outbreak. However, Kennedy had lost sight of Gideon but using Hughes's intel, Birkin directed him to Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, formerly sponsored by the Spencer Foundation before being bought by Gideon following Umbrella's collapse in 2004. Arriving at the outskirts of Wrenwood, Kennedy arrived at the facility where he was welcomed by a newly recruited nurse, who told him Gideon had been expecting him. He let himself be guided to an examination room in the East Wing where he was told to wait. Unbeknownst to Kennedy, Gideon had been watching him through hidden surveillance, and ordered a Code 6 when the agent arrived. While waiting, Kennedy inspected an old photo of Gideon before alarms blared Code 6. The nurse shortly returned, asking him to be evacuated after claiming mass hysteria had affected all patients and staffs. However, shortly after, the nurse was killed by a chainsaw-wielding doctor, forcing Kennedy to battle the newly infected. While exploring the care center, Kennedy came across Grace Ashcroft, an FBI technical analyst who was abducted by Gideon during her investigation of the burnt hotel, crawling for freedom before being dragged away by a giant B.O.W. Kennedy saved her in time, by seemingly kill the creature. Following Ashcroft's introduction, Kennedy was surprised of FBI's presence. Before they could leave, Gideon triggered the facility's lockdown, separating them both. Before the shutters fully closed, Kennedy asked why she was targeted by Gideon, but could not get an answer. Worried for her safety, Kennedy handed Ashcroft his DSO-issued Magnum 'Requiem' to protect herself told her to leave. As Kennedy was left in the dark, he met Gideon who tried to initiate a conversation but he immediately attacked him. However, Gideon was able to choked him, and saw his black bruises as their shared "Umbrella's curse" before he was knocked unconscious. For hours, Kennedy was unconscious and dragged to the attic to be interrogated by Gideon. The man wanted to question him, but Kennedy kept silent, only responding through taunts. Frustrated, Kennedy was cut by Gideon but before he could be tortured, he broke free and tried to attack Gideon who fled. Reestablishing contact with Birkin, Kennedy announced his objective of going to Gideon's private office. Descending to the 3rd floor, and found his hidden office, Kennedy purposefully inputted the wrong password, paving the way for Birkin to access Gideon's files. She retrieved documents about the latent onset t-Virus syndrome, referred to Gideon as Raccoon City Syndrome. Kennedy looked defeated as Birkin confirmed they were all infected with residual t-Virus laid dormant within their bodies, and were slowly dying from degradation. Furthermore, Kennedy uncovered another document with the word Elpis, and a picture of Ashcroft. He wondered how she was related to the keyword. Just then, Kennedy noticed a spiralling helicopter, with Ashcroft within the co-pilot seat before they crashed at the cemetery. Quickly grabbing a nearby rifle, Kennedy assisted Ashcroft from afar as she rescued a young blind girl named Emily, and fled to chapel when the cemetery became ridden with zombies attracted to the crash. After they managed to get in, Kennedy reunited with Ashcroft who was trying to stem Emily's bleeding, and told her to go the water treatment facility. He stayed behind as he dealt zombies to buy them time to escape. However, shortly after, Kennedy was forced to shoot the mutated Emily when she was resuscitated by Ashcroft, despite her cries and protests. Though Kennedy tried to console her, Ashcroft blamed herself and tossed Requiem, leaving him behind. Kennedy tried to go after her but cough up blood, as his syndrome advanced to stage two. Determined to save Ashcroft and learn why she was connected to Elpis, Kennedy head to the old ruins of Raccoon City. En route to Raccoon City, Birkin contacted Kennedy and informed him Elpis was not documented nor mentioned on CIA servers or the Pentagon. When Birkin asked for higher clearance, she was ordered to terminate the investigation. Kennedy was confused at the sudden obstruction but cautioned her against risking disciplinary or legal repercussions. Birkin refused to disengage, insisting she would continue to assist him regardless of the consequences. Arriving at East of Raccoon City, Kennedy was directed by Birkin to go to Raccoon City centre based on the coordinates she had found from Gideon's computer. While there, he fought against the Titan Spinner and its children, before arriving just outside the gate with a line of wall erected by the army. Kennedy found a camp of BSAA's North American branch, and was briefed by Birkin on their internal dispute, with the NA brach operating independently. Searching for detonators to blow the gate open, Kennedy came across a dead BSAA unit, and retrieved footage from a soldier's recording camera, asking Birkin to find the killer's identity, a man sharing similar apperance and powers to that of Wesker. However, Kennedy learnt the man himself was a "ghost", with no public records. Gathering all three parts of the detonator, Kennedy blew the gate open, and used a nearby motorcycle curtesy of the BSAA to drive to the centre. On the highway, Kennedy was pursued by several Garmr, and Gideon who wield rocket launchers to try and kill him. Despite Gideon's attempts, Kennedy successfully leak fuel out of his motorcycle, and ignite it, causing Gideon to tumble into the chasm below with an explosion soon followed. Thinking he had killed Gideon, Kennedy proceeded to the Raccoon Police Department where the BSAA had used it as their main base, surveilling on ARK as soon as 2023. Finding a terminal computer, Kennedy found Ashcroft and the man Zeno were conversing at the East Wing. Along the way, he paid respect to Lt. Branagh, many fallen officers of STARS and RPD, and Kendo. Getting to their location, Kennedy eavesdropped the conversation the two had, leading to Ashcroft eventually feeling shell-shocked and overwhelmed when she thought she had been responsible for many deaths in the search to unlock Elpis. Kennedy intervened but Zeno summoned the T-501 to deal with him, as he carried Ashcroft's unconscious body to ARK. Pursued through R.P.D and outside, he was beaten several times by T-501, before he loose its coat, turning it to Super Tyrant. Eventually, Kennedy bursts its heart out. Having overheard mentions of the Raccoon City Orphanage act as entrance to ARK, Kennedy head there where he was attacked by several seedlings grown from Plant 43. Descending to the deep grounds, Kennedy finally kills the plant, and enters ARK. Inside, Kennedy spotted crates belonging to H.C.F., TRICELL and Umbrella.
