Prologue
Jack, once a child soldier turned Government agent, has been on many dangerous missions. Search and Retrieve, Assassinations, Intel Retrieval. After meeting his girlfriend, Rosemary, Jack began to live a newer, happier, life.
However, his past as a child soldier, continued to haunt him. At the age of ten, he had already killed over a dozen people. Some of them innocent. Because of this, and the fact that he actually began to enjoy it, he took on the nickname “Jack the Ripper.”
At some point, he was sent on a mission to rescue the United States President from a group of terrorists. The location was a large oil facility known as Big Chell. For this mission Jack was given the codename, Raiden.
It was there that he met the Legendary Solid Snake. With Snake’s help Raiden was able to uncover the existence of the Patriots, a group of AI Programs that control the country, it’s military, and it’s economy.
After the Big Chell incident, Raiden was captured by the Patriots. They mutilated him, and gave him cybernetic enhancements. Raiden escaped the Patriot’s facility, and went on a journey of self discovery. He received training in both the Samurai and Ninja arts along the way.
Almost a decade later, he aided Solid Snake in taking down the Patriots, and freeing the country from their control. Raiden, having been reunited with his girlfriend, married Rosemary and started a family of his own.
To provide for his family, Raiden joined Maverick, a PMC (Private Military Company) that deals with protecting politicians, and bringing down terrorist groups. However, after a job went south, Raiden lost his left eye, his left arm, and the client he was suppose to be protecting.
Raiden was then outfitted with a new, more powerful cybernetic body, and went on a hunt for those responsible for his failure……
However, within that story, Raiden found himself in a very interesting situation. A new mission, to save another political leader. But this is one mission, that Raiden will never forget.
Raiden opened his eyes, and found himself in a different location then where he was. He was lying down on a bed, that was a little too big for him. As he looked around, he noticed the walls were made out of wood. Next to him was a round window. It was still dark out, but he could see the hint of the morning sun coming over the horizon.
Raiden sat up and noticed the bed he was sitting on had stars and moons decorated on the quilt. On the floor was a small basket, the type a dog or cat would usually sleep in.
As Raiden looked around, he realized he was in a loft. A small bedroom above the bottom floors. He could see the room below. It was somewhat round, with bookshelves against the walls, and a round rug on the floor. There was also a entrance way for an outside balcony.
“What the hell? Where am I?” Raiden quietly said to himself. The last thing he remembered was being in battle. One of the Cyborg Soldiers he was fighting threw a flash grenade at him, and next thing he knew he was waking up in this bizarre place.
His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of someone humming. Raiden quickly nodded his head, and two triangular metal plates emerged from the sides of his head, and closed on his face to form a mask. This was Raiden’s Augment Mode, which allows him to see enemies hidden from normal view. Raiden looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone. He turned off his Augment Mode, and jumped down from the loft.
He reach behind his back and drew his high frequency vibrating sword, and noticed that the humming was coming from a nearby flight of stairs. Raiden pressed his back against the wall next to the stairs, and waited.
The humming grew louder, as Raiden gripped his sword firmly in his hand. He wasn’t going to kill this opponent. Not until he had some answers. Finally the mysterious someone emerged.
The sight of this creature caused Raiden to stop in his tracks. He was frozen with shock, surprise, and wonder.
It appeared to be a small horse. It had the wings of a Pegasus, and the horn of a Unicorn. It’s coat was purple, with a maroon six pointed star on each flank. It’s mane and tail were dark purple, with a single strip of pink.
(WHAT THE HELL!!???) Raiden thought to himself.
The horse looked up at the loft, and realized no one was up there. It turned around and saw Raiden, who was still frozen with wonder.
“ACK!” It exclaimed. It seemed startled.
“Oh good, your awake.” It said.
(OH MY GOD IT TALKED) Raiden thought.
“Allow me to introduce myself,” The Pony said. “my name is Twilight Sparkle.”
