The duel ends when Ada (realizing that she is outmatched) attempts to escape only to discover that the president's office also acts as a lift down to the B.O.W. Lab. Shortly after, Ada is subdued and confined within the underground facility, though she later escapes.
As the events within the palace transpire, Buddy sends his Lickers in a full-out assault against the palace, utterly decimating the guards. By the time Leon arrives, scenes of the brutal slaughter decorate the palace grounds and much of the palace itself.
