With hell breaking loose inside the café, Leon opted to just duck.  Ain't no way he was going to reveal his identity in this hell hole.  As he saw Alex ushering the civilians out, Leon joined him in his endeavor to ensure the safety of the people.  If their job was going to perish under a heap of charred stone and wood, then, at least they could have a lot of recommendations and networks should one of the people they saved would be the employers in other firms.  Soon, smoke and debris filled the establishment, deterring anyone from entering and meeting their end.  The chaos died down, though, as Leon slumped back on a nearby wall.  "Claire,"  he mumbled.  "Where are you?"  Leon gritted his teeth before realizing that he had chosen the coward's route once more.  This woman, as unexplainably endearing as she was, could have been his ticket out of this spiraling depression and self-loathing.  

"Never again,"  Leon growled before dashing inside the smoke-filled café and directing his senses to look for the blue-eyed maiden.  The smoke prevented any progress, though.  "CLAIR!  CLAIRE!"  Leon called out her name as he turned tables and stones just to find her.  He would have continued to holler out to the woman if wasn't for the strange sounds of scraping and jiggling chains invading his ear.  His spine tingled, his blood ran cold as his eyes widened in rage and fear.  "Thresh."  he mumbled out the name before he heard Raze screaming outside.  At this moment, something mattered more than killing the murderer:  sparing his soul from the damnation of the Isles.  With a burst of green sparks and lights, Leon sprinted outside, shattering the glass as he came to Raze's aid in a hail of glass and stone.

Leon's glowing, yellow eyes and emerald flesh would greet his fellow Isle champion as the ominous shovel faded into his grip.  "It seems we would be allies for now.  Your murder amounts to little against these assholes."  Leon smirked before slamming his shovel into the earth, creating a solid wall of stone that arched around him and Raze.  A ravenous ghoul rose from the bowels of the soil before it hopped over the wall and charged at the warden.

"You better remove that chain, Raze."  Leon hoisted his shovel on his shoulder.  "You wouldn't want to be the next soul inside that lantern after Travis,"  he remembered his young friend but quickly shook his head to avoid the memories.  However, his yellow eyes looked through one of the cracks in the fissures, noticing an enraged blaze charging towards them.  "Holy shit!"  Leon cursed but before he could summon another wall, one of the champions bolted from the café and placed herself between them and Sion.  "You idiot!"  the gravedigger called before piercing his shovel into the earth, creating another layer of stone in front of Clarice.  "His Unstoppable Onslaught against your Onslaught of Shadows, Raze?  What do you think?"
