__________________________________________

Dominic wakes up inside of a bed and sits up, rubbing his tired eyes. He mumbles to himself and walks over to the bathroom door and begins his morning routine. Upon opening his eyes, he stops brushing his teeth and he looks in shock at himself. He was older. About twenty six years old from the looks of it. He darts out of the bathroom and sees that he wasn't inside of his dorm, he was in a house. And someone else was in his bed. A woman but her face was covered by the sunlight. He reaches over to her and touches her, she felt real but..wait this real? The woman turned over sighing and looked at him but he still couldn't see her face

Woman: Dom? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.

Dominic: Uh..I...Who are..?

Woman: Dominic are you alright?

The woman puts a hand on his forehead to check him for a high temperature but she finds nothing

Woman: No you're not having a fever. You alright?

Dominic blinked twice. He felt like he recognized the woman but his mind was fuzzy on the details of her and his relationship. He raised a finger to ask her a question when he stopped and looked at his hand and sees a ring on his finger. It clicked inside his head finally that he and this woman were married and he looked at her in shock

Woman: Is something wrong?

Dominic began to experience a wave of anxiety and he backed away from his wife until he hit a wall. His wife walked up to him scared for him and began to try to calm him down. Saying his name while she walked closer to him

Woman: Dom..Dominic..! Dominic you have to calm down! It's my Dom! It's XHRYGKFNW! I'm your wife!

Her name was muffled as if his mind couldn't grasp on what he was being told. Holding his head in pain, the world began to become blurry and the only thing he could focus on was his wife as she moved closer to him calling out to him.

Woman: Dominic! Stay with me! Dom!

???: Dominic!
_________________________________________

Dominic shot awake and gasped, looking around and sees that he was out of that...whatever that was. He put a hand to his face looking horrified. Why was he shown this vision? Was it just a dream? If so, then what did it mean? He looks down and sees he was shirtless but was covered by a grey cloth while laying beside a fire. Taking in his surroundings, Dominic sees he was inside of a cave somewhere on the island but it was close enough to the base that he could see the lights coming from it.

Dominic: ....

???: You're up..

Shooting to his side, Dominic sees the black clad ninja sitting across from him by the fire but something was different about him. His face was covered by a light brown cloak while his helmet sat in front of him with the light of the flames dancing in its reflection.

???: Hehehe~

The ninja laughed a very low and raspy laugh. His voice no longer disguised by a vocoder from his helmet

???: You were mumbling in your sleep kid. Was it a good dream?

Dominic: More like an unexplainable nightmare.

???: Isn't that every dream?

Dominic: This one was different. I was...it doesn't matter. Why did you save me?

???: To request something from you.

Dominic: I don't do requests.

???: This one may make you change your mind.

Dominic: Oh?

???: Kill me. Grant me a death deserving of a demon like myself.

Dominic scoffs and waves off the ninja and his insane asking

Dominic: Why don't you just kill yourself?

???: Because only a warriors death can cleanse me of the misdeeds of my past.

Dominic: And what might they be?

The ninja stands up and walks over to the entrance of the cave and look's outside. His covering flowing as the winds blow through him. Looking up, the ninja extends his arm out towards the cracked moon and motions out to grab it

???: I committed an egregious sin while trying to gain access to something that I longed for.

Dominic: That is—?

???: Power. And in my quest I....killed the last person who I had considered as family. It broke me. I dove into the deepest depths of hell and rotted away in there for years until I finally crawled out and decided I would find someone to give me the death I desired. I choose you Dominic. You will give me that death.

Dominic: How noble.

???: Noble? No. I'm just a husk of a man begging for death. I'm nothing.

Dominic: If you say so. Hey, why did you attack me? Call me murderer?

???: I think you know why.

Dominic: I don't.

???: Yes, you do. You know what I was saying before. It was all over your face.

Dominic: How could you possibly know?

???: Because I was there kid. I saw you run away like a coward. How you let her die. You murdered her when you ran away like a coward.

Dominic: I was a child!

???: And yet you had power and you didn't use it!

The ninja had turned around to Dominic, gritting his teeth

???: You ran away and only mustered up the courage to go back when she was dying. You, a son of Sparda, are forever branded as a pathetic coward.

Enraged, Dominic got up and ran at the ninja ready to punch a hole through him, but, the ninja weaves around him and pulls him back by his hair and slams his face into the snow

???: Don't even try it. As you are now, you're not match for me.

Dominic:*grunt* Then..just finish me!

???: No. You don't get to get off that easy. You'll live with your mistakes.

Dominic: The one making the mistake here is you!

???: Oh? And why's that?

Dominic: Because I'm the eldest son of Sparda! I will not be treated like this by some insane freak in a mask!

???: You're right. You are the son of Sparda. But this treatment is better than what you deserve. You deserve to be dragged through the dirt by her family. You agree with me don't you?

Dominic:*growl* Shut up!!

The ninja releases Dominic and walks back over to the fire and sits down. Dominic picks himself up from the ground and walks over to the ninja and goes to strike him but he stops himself and growls, sitting down across from him and watching him as the flames dance around the room

Dominic: Why do you know so much about me?

???: Because we've had similar experiences in life. I've also made the mistake you are going to do soon.

Dominic: And that is..?

???: Temen Ni Gru..the dark tower.

Shocked, and rightfully so, Dominic stood up and began questioning the ninja how he could possibly know about his plan, let alone talk about it so nonchalantly

Dominic: But...not even I could decipher the books that held the information on it! It took me—!

???: An entire semester of school to do so. Yes, I know.

Dominic: Just who the hell are you?

???: I am a dead man...

Dominic: And what do I call you "dead man"?

???: I have no title. Call me whatever.

Dominic: Liquid called you a snake. I guess I'll just call you that until you tell me who you really are.

The ninja, now dubbed "Snake", hums and reaches behind him and pulls out a book

Dominic: That's mine. Give it.

Snake: This is yours? Why does it have a V on the cover then?

Dominic: Because my idiot brother and I fought over everything. I wanted something that felt like mine. So when I received that as a gift from an old friend, I inscribed a letter of my name.

Snake: V? Your name doesn't start with V kid.

Dominic: It stands for Vergil. My middle name.

Dominic extends his hand out and Snake hands Dominic his book

Snake: That's all I could grab when I took you. The guards were relentless but I managed to get you out of there and in here.

Dominic: And the others?

Snake: Your friends are on a warpath trying to find you. I've never seen Dante so angry before. It's scary, seeing the frown of the smiling man.

Dominic: You know Dante?

Snake: Let's just say I have history with him...

Dominic: Well did you at least bring me a shirt?

Snake: Something like that..

Snake goes over to a duffel bag and pulls out a grey suit and tosses it over to Dominic

Dominic: There is no way in hell that I'm wearing this.

Snake: It's either that or go in shirtless.

Dominic: The cold never bothered me anyway..

Snake: Now that's a lie. Just put it on kid.

Dominic sighs and puts on the suit. It was tight but snug in the areas that needed it

Dominic: So you got me this but you couldn't grab my coat or my vest? What about the Yamato?

Snake: Your sword is guarded by Liquid. He won't let it out of sight as well as your amulet. He's crazy but he is cunning. He'll be expecting you.

Dominic: Good. If the others are tearing through the base, then he'll be distracted by them. Maybe I can sneak back inside and find my clothes.

Snake: What about your team?

Dominic: What about them?

Snake: I thought they were your friends. Your brother is looking for you. Don't you want him to know that you're okay?

Dominic: He's thought I was dead for almost a decade. He can live without me for a while.

Snake gets angry at Dominic's behavior towards Dante being worried for him and he grabs Dominic by the neck and lifts him into the air

Snake: Your brother is raising hell back there just to find you , and you're just gonna say nothing?! How ungrateful can one man be?!

Dominic: Gck! Why do you care?!

Snake: Because I was just like you! Headstrong, naive. I ignored my family until I lost them all and realized that I loved them with all my heart! He's the only family you've got left! So cherish every moment with him like it's your last! With how you've been acting, I'm positive your days are coming to an end.

Dominic: You...don't...know...me!

Snake: I know you more than you know yourself boy!!

Snake closed his hand around Dominic's neck tighter and tighter until he was about to squeeze all of the life out of him and he dropped him before he could kill him

Dominic:*coughs and gasps*

Snake:*panting* Just give up on your quest kid. It'll lead you to your death..

Dominic:*gasp* My quest is all that keeps me going....!

Snake: So foolish. You deny your true feelings to grow inside of your heart and bury them beneath your sorrow.

Dominic: Feelings are for weaklings!

Snake: No. They're what make you and I....human.

Dominic: I'm not a human.

Snake: I know. Your mother was. And your father...he was something else. But he lived as one with you and your mother and brother. I ask you this, why do you feel sorrow whenever you look at her?

Dominic: At who?

Snake: Ruby Rose. Is it guilt? Do you feel guilty at what you stole from her?

Dominic looks down at the floor before he stands back up and turns away from Snake

Dominic: .....

Snake: Silence. I thought so. I'm going back there. And you should to.

Snake walks over to his helmet and puts it on, sighing in relief and rolling his shoulders as he throws off his cloak

Snake: You feel regret for what you've done. I know you do. Because I feel the same pain as you do.

Dominic: Who are you?

He gets no response and turns around to see Snake has already left the cave. Sighing, Dominic picks up his book and puts it inside his suit and looks at the cloth that was covered over him. He tears off a long strip of it and ties it around his head. He smiles to himself and dashes out of the cave and sprints towards the base where his teammates were to find them and stop Rex.

Dominic climbs over a fence and sneaks his way back inside of the base and he reaches a ladder that goes back up into the main base. He cracks his fingers and starts climbing up

What a thrill....

Dominic:*stops and sighs* We meet again mysterious feminine voice. How have you been?

.......

Dominic: Huh. Maybe I am crazy.

He continues climbing the ladder

With darkness and silence through the night...

Dante and Sapphire cut through White Fang forces in a rage filled search to find their teammate/brother and rescue him from Liquid. Obito watched from behind as he saw Sapphire cleave a surrendering Atlas soldier in two while Dante gunned down any White Fang that was running away. He thought to himself what Psycho Mantis had said to them; how only minds numbed by war and bloodshed could have resisted his illusions. He was right. Dante and Sapphire both had smiles on their faces as the blood from their kills soaked their weapons and boots. They were enjoying this.

Liquid smashed his fist down on the table he was watching the bloodbath on a computer screen.

Liquid: Those demons! They're killing everyone! And with that damned ninja out there as well as Dominic, this plan has gone up to shits creek!

Ocelot: Boss. I have an idea.

Liquid: What is it?

Ocelot: If they're still wandering around, then they don't know he's escaped.

Liquid: Your point being—?

Ocelot: We can lead them into a trap and capture them all. They'd be out of our hair, and we'd have less problems with them in our custody.

Liquid: Hm..yes. Tell Octopus to be ready.

Ocelot: He's already in position.

Liquid: Good~

Otacon, who had stayed out of the fighting, was sitting inside of the kennels where the soldiers kept their hounds and was sharing his rations with them. He smiles and pets one of them when the door opened and he dropped the bar of food and used his optical camouflage to disappear from sight

Sniper Wolf walked into the room and knelt down to the dogs and smiled as they all went over to her and licked her hands and face

Wolf: Hello my pretty's~ Are you hungry?

Wolf notices the food bar on the floor and picks it up, inspecting it

Wolf: Someone has already fed you...

She pulls out her sniper and turns to the left where Otacon was standing there invisible but she could hear him breathing

Wolf: I know you are there. I can hear you breathing. Come out!

Otacon came out of his camouflage with his hands raised up and shakes as Sniper Wolf had him at gunpoint

Otacon: D-don't shoot!

Wolf: You're the captured scientist, Emmerich. What are you doing here?

Otacon: I....your dogs. They looked hungry. I thought I'd give them some of my spare rations.

Wolf: How generous. Then you should know that it pains me to have to kill you human.

Otacon: N-no! Please!

Wolf: Look at you. Cowering in fear. You humans have done the same to us for generations. What makes what I'm doing different from what your ancestors have done to mine?

Otacon: I—I don't want violence! I'm not a fighter!

Wolf: So then why did you design Rex for then? To fight your battles for you?

Otacon: No! It was supposed to be used to defend the kingdoms! All of them! I wanted everyone in the world to not be afraid of the Grimm. So we don't have to send people to die anymore.

Wolf: Hmph! And what happens when the Grimm are all dead? Then what?

Otacon: Then Rex would have fulfilled its purpose. We wouldn't have to use it anymore.

Wolf: Your armies would find a use for it. Just like we are.

Otacon: I...never thought of that possibility. Gods...if I could take it all back I would! Stopping all this hate between us when we're in this fight together! I never hated the White Fang. You guys were just led along the wrong path.

Wolf: So you feel sorry for us? How kind.

She lowers her sniper and looks at Otacon intently

She sees a young man who wanted to make a difference and help everyone in the world with his inventions. But now his creation will be used for war and destruction. She almost felt bad for him.

Liquid: Wolf! Respond.

Wolf turned her head when she heard Liquids voice on her radio which gave Otacon the opportunity to turn invisible and slip away from her

Wolf: Foolish man! I can still hear your footsteps!

She fires off a shot but it misses and Otacon runs out of the room as fast as he could. Wolf curses under her breath and sighs, responding to Liquid

Wolf: Bloody stealth technology. I'm here Liquid. What is it?

Liquid: Forget those mongrels of yours and rendezvous to my position. I have a task for you.

Wolf: Liquid, I need to tell you something. That prisoner, the scientist called Emmerich...

Liquid: Yes? What of it?

Wolf: ......Nothing. Never mind. I'll join you in two minutes.

Wolf leaves the kennels and sprints down the hallway.

Outside, a hand reaches up and the owner pulls themselves up from under the edge of the cliff on the base

Dominic:*panting* Why...why do bad guys...make ladders so damn high? Oh god...

Dominic rolls over onto the surface and sighs, resting on the snow for a while. A few moments pass, and Dominic stands up and continues running through the outside of the base while trying not to be seen. He stops in the middle of a clearing and looks around his shoulders

Dominic: You must take me all for fools if you think hiding can help you get the drop on me.

A group of White Fang pop out of the snow and point their weapons at Dominic

White Fang: It's the kid Liquid is looking for!

White Fang 2: So he's the one we should thank for this new power?

Dominic: Power?

The White Fang members around him take off their masks and they reveal that Liquid had indeed given some of his forces Dominic's blood and were now using it as a performance enhancement. One or both of their eyes are now blue and small patches of their hair now had streaks of white in it

Dominic: Power? That's MY power you're using you beasts.

White Fang: Beasts? Ha! We're more than beasts now! We are the scourges of humanity!

Dominic: No. You're just something in my way.

The enhanced White Fang members attack Dominic all at once. Dominic stops one of them from hitting him with his claws by grabbing their wrists and he grabs another by the neck with his leg. He snaps the neck of the White Fang member with his leg and he tosses the one he had held back and they crashed into their fellow White Fang

White Fang: I'll gut you like tuna you snake!

Another faunus sprints at Dominic with his knife in hand and he swings wildly at him but Dominic was just as fast and blocked every single knife swing. Both of them were locked in a stalemate of both speed and strength but only one of them would survive this fight

White Fang: Not bad—!

Dominic was kicked in the chest and sent flying backwards through the snow. He looked up and saw the enhanced faunus was above him with his knife out ready to stab him.

Dominic: Okay, you're strong...

Dominic teleported away from the faunus, catching him by surprise. The white haired young man then stood up and tightened the bandanna on his head and got into a combat position

Dominic: ...But are you fast enough with my blood coursing through your body?

Dominic speed blitzes the White Fang member and hits him with a volley of punches to the sternum and then uppercuts him so hard that he was sent flying a few feet in the air only for Dominic to grab his leg and slam him back to the ground

Dominic: Hm. It was almost too easy. Now—

He kneels down and takes the knife out of the faunus' hand and spun it in his hand as he begun questioning them

Dominic: Where's Liquid?

White Fang: I'm not saying...anything to a human!

The faunus shouted in pain as Dominic drove their knife into their shoulder and begun to twist it

Dominic: Let me get this through your head you dumb animals. I'm not human. Humans are weak, pathetic creatures. I'm strong. Stronger than you or anyone on this planet. Got it?

He twists the knife further and the faunus nods

Dominic: Good. Where is Liquid?

White Fang: I—I don't know!

Dominic: Don't lie to me now. You aren't in a position to tell me lies.

White Fang: I—don't know!!

Another White Fang member woke up from being knocked unconscious and saw Dominic was torturing his comrade and he lunges at him and gets on his back and starts punching and scratching him

Dominic: Argh! Get—off!!

The White Fang member that Dominic had on the floor pulled the knife out of his shoulder and sprung up to his feet, slashing Dominic in the eye as he did so

Dominic: AAAAHH!!

More and more White Fang piled onto Dominic as they tried to bring him down but he was still standing even while four grown men were piled on his back. Dominic roars and throws off all of the White Fang from his back and he went into a wild rage as he started killing all of the White Fang present there with single punches to the face, chest, and back.

When he was finished, all of the White Fang laid there in the snow lifeless with horrid expressions on their faces. He puts a hand over his bleeding eye and looks for a way into the base.

Dominic: When this is over, I'll kill Liquid with my own hands...

Inside of the base, the rest of Team ODDS were sitting in a supply room resting for a while before they resume their search in finding Dominic. Obito was sitting away from his friends while Dante and Sapphire

Dante: .......

Sapphire: .......

Obito: .......

The door to the room opened up and everyone went into full combat mode but no one was there at the doorway. Dante and Sapphire looked at each other in confusion until a set of footsteps were heard coming closer to them. A small click sounded out and a figure came out of their optical camouflage and surprised everyone who it was

Otacon: Hey! D—don't shoot!

Dante:*sigh* It's just the nerd...

Otacon: It's Otacon.

Dante: Whatever.

Dante goes over to a box and sits on it quietly as Otacon and Sapphire begin to catch up after they had parted ways for some time

Sapphire: That stealth tech is pretty handy you know?

Otacon: Y—yeah. Hey, where's your friend?

Sapphire: You didn't hear earlier? They're keeping him captive and torturing him.

Otacon: Torture! B—but he's just a kid! That's awful!

Sapphire: Do you know where they're keeping him?

Otacon: N-no. But they're probably keeping him somewhere on the sixth floor. I could go check!

Sapphire: No, you've done enough already by being here. Moral is...a little low to put it mildly.

Otacon: Yeah. Oh! Here.

Otacon hands Sapphire a few rations and he smiles as Sapphire takes them

Otacon: You kids looked a little hungry. I could go get more if you'd like.

Sapphire: No no it's...it's enough for now. Thanks.

Otacon: Thanks. Heh, that sounds good.

Sapphire: No one's ever said "thank you" to you before?

Otacon: N—no. I'm always just the guy who gets in the way of everyone else. It's alway: "Hal do this" or "Hal get out of the way!" I want to help you guys. I want to right my wrongs here today.

Sapphire: You've done enough Otacon. Let us do what we were sent here to do.

Otacon: Could you at least rest? You've been at this all day? Kids need sleep.

Dante: Sleep..?

Sapphire and Otacon turn around to Dante who had gotten up from the box he was on and was walking over to them

Dante: How can I sleep when my brother is being tortured for information that he doesn't know! How can I even think about resting when he could be killed by those bastards over there! Huh?!

Dante got in Otacon's face and pushes him back causing Sapphire to get in between of them and stop Dante from hurting Otacon

Sapphire: That's enough! You need to sit back down and cool off!

Dante: You're not my leader and you aren't my brother.

Sapphire: Yeah? Well if your brother was here, what the hell would he tell you? Hm?

Dante channeled his anger into his fist and he punched the wall so hard it made a sizable dent in it. He goes back to the box he was on and sat on it again

Sapphire: Sorry about that.

Otacon: It's okay.

Sapphire walks over to Obito and hands him the ration and sits beside him

Sapphire: How are you holding up?

Obito: ......I'm the worst leader ever....

Sapphire: What?

Obito: I'm a fool for thinking I could be a good leader. Our first mission and one of us got captured. And I just ran away...I'm nothing but scum.

Sapphire: Why are you beating yourself up over this? We'll get him back.

Obito: And what if we don't?! What if we're too late? What if they figure out he won't say anything? They'll just kill him!

Sapphire: Well uh...I can't say I can relate to how you or Dante are feeling right now but I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not worried for Dominic. But we will find him. He's tough. And you're a good leader. Everyone has to trip before they can walk, and eventually, run.

Obito:*sniffle* I guess...

Otacon: Hey..i-if it'll help, I could look for him. I mean I'm not really doing anything of use at the moment. So I guess, this is sort of like MY first mission. Hehe~

Sapphire: Are you sure you're up for this?

Otacon: Yeah. You guys saved me from that crazy ninja. It's only fair that I pay you back.

Sapphire: Alright. Contact us if you find anything.

Otacon salutes Sapphire with a smile and leaves the room after he becomes invisible with his camouflage

Obito: At least one of us is happy...

Sapphire: Yeah. He's right though we should just rest. We've been at this mission all day. You two can rest, I'll take first watch in case someone comes in here.

Obito curls up into a ball and shuts his eyes and drifts off to sleep. Sapphire takes off his jacket and covers his young leader and goes over to the door and hugs the wall, waiting for anyone to enter the room

Dante stood awake for a while, not being able to sleep while Dominic was still being held captive. Unbeknownst to him and his team, Dominic was outside and was making his way up the tower to get a radio message to his teammates. What Dominic didn't know, was that Liquid could see his every movement from a camera hidden on the roof of the tower and he smiled while sitting in a chair as Dominic's amulet jingled around his neck

Sniper Wolf ran through the halls of the base communicating with Liquid as she went to find and finally kill Dominic

Wolf: I'm en route to intercept the child. I'll be there in three min-

Liquid: Delay that. Hold position at the underground base entrance and await my orders. I'll deal with that snake myself. Liquid out.

Wolf scoffs and opens a bottle of pills and puts one in her hand. Otacon sees her from behind the corner of a wall and he creeps over to her nervously but he sums up the courage to talk with her

Otacon: Wolf...

Wolf:*gasp* Emmerich. I...haven't seen you in some time. I thought you were taking care of the dogs.

Otacon: I am. I mean, I was. But I....I was...worried about you.

Wolf pops the pill into her mouth and swallows it, sighing as she takes her sniper off her back and aims with it while she converses with Otacon

Wolf: No need. I work alone, remember?

Otacon: You shouldn't take so much Diazepam. It's...not good for you.

Wolf: Comes with the territory. Integral staple of a snipers diet.

Otacon: So...are you going to kill someone?

Wolf: Eventually. That boy Liquid has been looking for had escaped and—why am I even talking to you?

Otacon: S—so you know where he is? Where?

Wolf: Why should I tell you? You're a cute man Emmerich, but I don't have to explain every detail of my life to you. Nor do I have to tell you anything. I'm sorry. You're just a scientist and I'm...just a killer.

Otacon: But...why kill him? He has friends, a family!

Wolf: So did I...

Otacon looks at the floor saddened by Wolf's resolve and she looks away from him as she reaches into a pouch on her side and pulls out a handkerchief that she hands over to him

Wolf: This belonged to my mother. She died when I was very young. By human hands. But..I think in your hands, it'll be kept safe. Just in case I don't make it back.

Otacon: Don't. I don't want to hear it. Just be careful. That's all I ask. And please...be better than what the others perceive you as. You're not some animal. You're a person just like me. All faunus are. I designed Metal Gear so everyone could be protected from the Grimm. Everyone. Even the White Fang...

Wolf walks past Otacon who was still looking at the floor. It was a shame, if he wasn't he could have seen her smiling at him. Not one of smugness but of happiness. She was happy that someone, a human, cared about her after so long.

Dominic snuck his way up a long flight of stairs and made it to the top of the communications tower where he hid in the shadows as he looked up at a large radar dish

Dominic:~If I could get that working, maybe I could send a message to Winter. Tell her to tell everyone else I'm okay.~

Dominic sighs and kneels down to catch his breath. The sedatives Liquid gave him were taking a while to wear off.

Dominic: Heh, I'm actually exhausted walking up these stairs. How pathetic..

Snake: I couldn't agree more..

Dominic turns around behind him and sees Snake, the ninja who has been cutting his way through the base, standing behind him

Dominic: Why do you have to sneak up on me like that?

Snake: What happened to your eye?

Dominic touches his wounded eye softly and looks at Snake with his only good one

Dominic: Those animals scratched it. It'll heal but these damn sedatives are taking a tole on my healing.

Snake: You should get that patched up before it gets infected and you actually lose the eye.

Dominic: What are you? My mother?

Snake: No. I'm just looking out for you.

Dominic: Earlier you were shouting at me and suffocating me. And before that you tackled me to the ground. Are you insane or something?

Snake: Are you saying you're not?

Dominic: Hm...

Snake looks up at the radar dish and shakes his head

Snake: That plan won't work. They'll stop any message you send before you could even get a word out.

Dominic: Then what do you suppose I do?

Snake: Continue with your mission. Find Metal Gear.

Dominic: Okay, and where do I go from here?

Snake presses a button on a device he had on his wrist and a hologram schematic of the entire base lit up the stairwell

Snake: You could go back down and get into the base through the elevator at the bottom. But it's heavily guarded.

Dominic: Do I get a second option?

Snake: Hm. You could climb down from the roof.

Dominic: Then that's what I'll do. I'll see you later.

Snake: Wait.

Snake hands Dominic an earpiece

Snake: So I don't have to waste my time coming back and forth just to speak with you. My frequency is already plugged in. You'll have the do your friends yourself.

Dominic: You still haven't given me a straight answer: Who are you?

Snake: I'm like you..

Snake climbs up on the railing of the stairs and looks down towards the bottom

Snake: I'm someone who's running from his past...

Snake let's himself fall down the stairwell and becomes invisible as he free falls. Dominic shakes his head and starts trying to find his teammates radio frequencies as he walks out onto the roof

Dominic: Hello? Is anyone there? Dante? Obito? Sapphire please say something if I'm actually talking to you. Come on man! Don't be like that! Look, I have tea with Weiss on Tuesday's. If you answer, I can bring you with me and have you and her get to know each other a little more. What do you say?

Sapphire:*looks up and around* Hm. Weird. It feels like I'm missing a great opportunity.

Dominic: Hello? Well fine then! I guess no tea and snack cakes with Weiss for you! We were gonna bake muffins together and guess what? You can't have any! So there! Nyeh! Hey what's that sound?

Dominic looks up in the sky and sees two balls of light coming towards him. Said balls of light were missiles fired at him that he dodges out of the way and they destroyed the entrance to the stairwell leaving him trapped on the roof

Dominic: Uugh..

A gunship flies up from underneath and shines a spotlight on Dominic and the hearty laugh of Liquid sounds out from a speaker

Liquid: I just knew you'd make your way up here "brother"!

Dominic: Liquid! I'll send you straight to hell!

Liquid: Don't worry brother, I'll make sure you're there to plan the party before I get there in about sixty years!!

Liquid pulls on the trigger of the control stick and sprays the roof full of bullets in an attempt to mow Dominic down

Dominic jumps and dodges around the bullets fired at him, trying to find a way to break Liquids line of sight. He spots a fallen radar dish and he picks it up and throws it at the gunship and it impacts the window, cracking it and blinding Liquid

Liquid: Argh! Damn you! I'll make sure I send you back home in pieces!!

Liquid kept unloading on the roof while Dominic hid behind a piece of fallen debris

Dominic: This is getting me nowhere. I have to get off this roof!

Liquid: This has been mildly entertaining kid, but I have urgent matters that need my full attention. Let's end this farce right now shall we?

Liquid presses a red button on the console in front of him and two more missiles were fired and rocketed towards the roof

Dominic: You know Liquid, my father taught me something. How to manipulate my energy into a concussive blast!

Dominic runs over to the edge of the roof and jumps off as the missiles impact it

Dominic: From me to you brother! Choke on it!!

As he fell, Dominic pointed two fingers at Liquid's gunship and fired a red blast of energy that hit one of the wings, bringing down the aircraft

Liquid: Can't maintain altitude...Damn!

Liquid grabbed a parachute and jumped out of the gunship, pulling the cord as he fell. He sighed as he watched his prized gunship crash down onto the base below.

Liquid: And I just got her cleaned...

Liquid began receiving a call from Wolf and he put his finger to his ear to answer her

Wolf: Strange. I thought his blood made you all powerful? Why did you jump?

Liquid: Gloat all you like. Just know that I will achieve my objectives regardless of whether that snake lives or dies. I will gain his power and finally the world will know our strength. The strength of the son of Big Boss!

Liquid landed right on Sniper Wolfs position and he picked himself up off the ground as she looked through a pair of binoculars

Wolf: Does your plan include a way to wave off Atlas from bombing this place?

Liquid: Leave those pompous fools to me! Where is Dominic?

Wolf: He's climbing down the tower towards our position. He's got balls if he jumped down without a rope. Even if he's invulnerable.

Liquid: With power like his, it's no wonder he takes risks that any normal human would never do. That's why he's important to this mission. And to me. Father always talked about how great he was and how I pale in comparison to him.

Wolf: So he's the first son then? The elder?

Liquid: No. He's just the bastard step child. I'm Big Boss's biological son...I'm heading underground to finish the final preparations on Metal Gear. Can I count on you to finish this?

Wolf says nothing to Liquid as he scoffs at himself and walks away back into the base

Liquid: Pff! Of course I can. How foolish of me! Once you've killed him, join us below.

Wolf loaded a magazine into her sniper and looked up at the tower while Dominic climbed down it

Wolf: This hunt ends today...

Back inside, Team ODDS shot up as the shockwaves from the exploding gunship rocked the base and woke them up from their sleep

Dante: What the hell was that?!

Obito: Is it Atlas? Did Winter send in the cavalry?

Sapphire: Let's check. Winter!

Winter: I'm here Sapphire. What's the situation?

Sapphire: Something exploded nearby. Was that you? Did you call in air support?

Winter: What? No I've been here monitoring everything. What's good on?

Sapphire: Well that's what we're trying to find out. Wait, Winter can you get a lock onto Dominic's scroll from there?

Winter: I can try but why do you need me to do that? Is he separated from you?

Sapphire: You could say that. Just hurry. I don't know how much longer he has...

Winter: Okay. I'm sending you his scrolls location.

Sapphire: Thanks Winter. This means a lot to us, especially Dante.

Winter: What happened?

Sapphire:*sigh* Dom got captured a few hours ago...they're torturing him for information about how to launch the missiles they have on Metal Gear. Dante's not taking it well.

Winter: .....

Sapphire: We're going to save him now thanks to you Winter. Thanks.

Winter: .......

Sapphire: Winter?

Winter punches a wall in anger. She curses to herself about how she has gotten someone who she was supposed to look after captured, maybe even killed. The thoughts of someone dying under her watch haunted her until Sapphire brought her out of her misery

Sapphire: Winter! Respond! Specialist Winter!

Winter: I'm here! I'm...gods I'm so sorry boys! I should be there and not here on my ass while you four risk your lives for us all! I'm so sorry!

Dante: Hey...

Everyone jumped a little when they heard Dante's voice m. His tone was serious but also calm which no one had ever heard from him ever since they met him.

Dante: You don't have to beat yourself up over this. If you had it your way, you'd have been here from the start with us. We're gonna get him back from these bastards. I am not gonna let him go a second time Winter. Got that?

Winter was shocked and moved by Dante's sudden change in attitude, but she fixes herself and clears her throat

Winter: Yes. I understand Dante. Please...please be safe you three. I'll make sure you get more than full compensation for your work.

Dante: Keep your money. I just want my brother back..

This..scared Sapphire and Obito. Declining a big pay from Atlas? Was he mad? In a sense, yes. He was mad with the idea of losing his only family yet again. He was not gonna let his brother die on some base in the middle of nowhere.

Dante: Come on guys, let's rock.

Obito: And roll. Team ODDS, move out!

The trio of boys darted out of the room and ran down anyone who stood in their way while they made their way to the origin of the explosion

Dominic sighed as he was climbing down the tower. Gently placing one foot down below the other while the cold winds blew across his body

Dominic:*shudders* I hate the cold..! I hate it so much! Why didn't he just grab my coat? Why do you hate me so much god?

A bullet impacted the tower wall making Dominic lose his grip and held on with only one hand. He felt his hand slipping as a red laser beam drifted over to his hand

Dominic: Oh you son of a—

Dominic let go and began to fall down as he yelled on the way down to the snowfield below

Dominic: BIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!

He impacted the ground with a loud thud and laid there in the snow unconscious

Team ODDS walked through the base, eliminating any threat that stood in their path. Even though he abhorred killing, Obito still did his part to help find Dominic and injured a few guards with a kunai to the hand or leg. Their comms began to go off and they all took cover and answered a call from Otacon

Sapphire: Otacon, have you found something?

Otacon: Well...I have good news and bad news.

Obito: Can we please hear the good news first?

Otacon: The good news is, your friend escaped a while ago and he's still in the base!

Obito could see Dante covering the pure joy on his face with his hand and he caught a glimpse of a single tear falling to the floor

Sapphire: And the bad news..?

Otacon: Sniper Wolf is hunting him.

Dante: What?! Where?!

Otacon: I—I don't know! Follow the gunshots maybe?

Obito: Otacon you're the best man!

Otacon: I'm happy to help!

The morale of the team was in very high spirits after this revelation. Dominic was still alive and he had escaped the clutches of Ocelot! Everyone was ecstatic but no one could hold a candle to how happy Dante was

Dante: Let's go!!

Dante ran down the hall and took a sharp left turn in the wrong direction

Sapphire:*sigh* God dammit...Dante!

Dante peeks his head out and Sapphire and Obito point in the other direction

Sapphire: The explosion was that way...

Dante: Oh...right!

The team walks into an elevator and the weight limit warning went off as soon as they all got inside

Sapphire: God damn Dante! How much do you weigh?

Dante: Oh come on! That is not my fault!

The doors close and the elevator begins to descend

Sapphire: Because you eat nothing put pizza and ice cream. Not to mention you have that giant sword weighing you down too!

Dante: Hey this thing helps me burn calories every time I swing it!

Obito: That's not how cardio works Dante.

Dante: Oh yeah? Do you have sick abs?

Obito: No but I'm fit because I watch my diet. As a shinobi should.

Dante: Ah you guys are a bunch of squares.

Sapphire: And that's why we'll live longer than you.

They all got a call from Otacon and answered it

Sapphire: Otacon? What's up?

Otacon: I forgot to tell you guys something before.

Obito: What is it?

Otacon: Well, there were five stealth camouflage prototypes in my lab.

Dante: Yeah...? So?

Otacon: If you take out the one I'm wearing, then that leaves four.

Dante: Are you going somewhere with this?

Otacon: I thought I'd get them for you all, so I went back to the lab and...the four suits were missing.

Obito: There's four invisible people walking around here? They could be right next to us and we wouldn't-! Oh no...

Otacon: What is it?

Obito: The weight limit on the elevator went off...right when we got in...

Otacon: L-look out! The guys who stole my stealth prototypes are in there with you!!

Suddenly the trio were held in a headlock by three invisible men while a fourth laughs at them and claps his hands

Invisible Soldier: Hahaha! I can't believe how easy this was. Now all we need to do I just capture your friend and we'll have no other issues today.

Obito picks his legs up and kicks the soldier holding him in the crotch which breaks him out of the choke hold

Invisible Soldier 2: AHH MY NUTS!!

The soldier in front of Obito pointed his gun at him and shouted at him to not move. In the commotion, Sapphire grabbed the face of the soldier holding him and he began to freeze his head while the soldier shouted at Obito

Invisible Soldier 3: AAAH! G—G—G—G—K—K—!

The soldier holding Obito at gunpoint looked at his comrade being turned into an ice pop and he points his weapon at Sapphire which gave Obito the chance to grab onto him and he began beating the soldier in the face which caused him to fire his gun randomly, making bullets ricochet around the elevator

The soldier holding Dante let him go and ran around the room trying to dodge the bullets but he was killed when one shot through his skull and his body fell to the floor dead

Sapphire: Obito!

Sapphire grabbed the dead soldier he had frozen and Obito jumped off the soldier he was on, pushing him forward into Sapphires way and he slammed the frozen head of the soldier into the one that was coming towards him, knocking him out

Sapphire:*sighs in relief*

Obito:*panting*

Dante: Well that went well...

The elevator dinged and the doors opened to a short hallway where Otacon stood in front of a door with a large six on it

Otacon: Are you guys okay?!

Sapphire: Yeah...they're not.

Obito: Why'd you have to kill that one?

Sapphire: Because he was gonna kill me. Were it so easy.

Obito: But you could have just knocked him out!

Dante: Wait, there were four, what happened to the other one?

The last invisible soldier was knelt down holding his crotch groaning in pain

Invisible Soldier 2: Oooh you got both of my balls you midget..!

Dante winced and pressed the button on the side and the elevator doors closed and it ascended back up towards level nine

Dante: I did that to save him and us from embarrassment.

Sapphire:*sigh* Why are you here Otacon?

Otacon: Well, you guys don't have a level six access card. I do.

Otacon swipes the card on the control panel and the door opened to the snowy tundra outside

Otacon: Come on, we can find your friend if we keep going.

The group walked out of the building and looked around the snowfield

Obito: Great. More snow.

Dante: Hey guys.

Dante pointed at the crashed gunship that was folded over the wall of the snowfield

Dante: Looks like someone had a party without us.

???:*groans*

Everyone turns to the where the sounds of groaning came from and they saw someone pick themselves up from the snow and shake their head.

???:*spits* I'm gonna..get that sniper bitch!

Sapphire: Wait I know that voice. Is that—?

Obito: Dom!!

The person turned their head and looked at the group of boys and Otacon and they opened their arms and shrugged at them

Dominic: You guys like to keep a guy waiting huh?

Dante: You're alive!!

Sapphire: What the heck are you wearing?

Otacon: Hey that's one of my prototype sneaking suits!

Dominic: This is yours? That damn ninja took it before he rescued me.

Dante: You don't know how..man words can't describe what I'm feeling man! I'm just gonna give you a big bro hug!!

Dominic: No I don't need a bro hug.

Dante: C'mon give me a bro hug.

Dominic: No.

Dante: Hug.

Dominic: No.

Dante: Hug hug.

Dominic: Dante if you take another step forward I'm gonna pop you.

Sapphire: Well at least everything's back to normal.

Obito: Yeah..I kinda missed them arguing.

Sapphire: I didn't.

A gunshot ran out and Dominic leaned back as a bullet passed by him and hit the wall behind him. The twins looked at each other and ran for cover as Sapphire rolled behind a tree and Otacon tackled Obito to the ground and covered him with his body

Sapphire begun a call with everyone as he pulled out his sniper and laid down on the snow and watched the tree line in between them and the entrance to the underground maintenance base

Sapphire: Are you guys alright?

Dante: We're fine! Otacon! Are there any other super secret stealth things you lost track of?

Otacon: N-no! There were only five.

Sapphire: Then this isn't camo. It's her...

Otacon gasps and peeks his head out a little only for Obito to grab him and bring him back down with him

Dominic: What are you guys saying?

Dante: It's that sniper chick again.

Dominic: Wolf? Damn. Then she's after me.

Otacon: It's her! It's really her!

Sapphire: Why do you sound so happy?! She's trying to kill us!

Otacon: No it's.....Please don't kill her! She's a good person. You'd know that if you talked to her...

Dominic was receiving a call from someone and he turned to answer it. A feminine voice chuckles from the other end of the call and she tells him something in her low, sultry voice

Wolf: I can see you perfectly from here. Ho ho ho~ I told you...I'd never quit the hunt. Now you're mine.

Dominic: You're pretty good Wolf. But can you kill me while you are also being hunted?

Wolf: What?!

A bullet hits the tree beside Wolf and it explodes, knocking the tree over which causes her to roll out of the way

Sapphire: Let's see who's the better sniper. The hunter...or the wolf.

Wolf: Grr..! Fine. But know this children. If I'm close, you will know death is close.

Sapphire: Don't talk to the reaper about death..

Otacon: Please!! Don't do this! No..!

Wolf: Quiet! Don't get in our way.

Sapphire: This is for Meryl..

Dominic: Dante give me everyone's frequency.

Dante: Yeah, here. 141.12

Dominic: Finally. Can you all hear me?

Sapphire: Yep.

Obito: Yeah! It's good to hear from you again man!

Dominic: Wolf's after me so I'll be the bait.

Dante: What?! No way! I just got you back!

Dominic: She won't stop until I'm dead.

Sapphire: Dante he's right. Don't worry, I've got his back.

Dante:*sigh* Here.

Dante hands Ebony over to his brother and he pulls out Ivory and leans up against the wall they were behind

Dominic: Guns. Such uncivilized weapons.

Dante: Oh would you prefer a bow and arrow mister history buff?

Dominic: Tch. Let's hope you're better at taking care of your guns than you are your own living space.

Dante: You know I ace every single weapons test!

Sapphire: It's true. He's got the highest grade in the entire class.

Dominic:*sigh* Let's do this..

Dominic leaps out of cover and fires off four rounds into the direction of where Wolf could be hiding. She smirks and fires off three shots and Sapphire shoots one gravity shot that knocks her off balance and she runs to find a new position

Otacon: No! Stop!!

Otacon runs out into the open and starts waving his hands to get Wolfs attention

Dante: Otacon get down! You're gonna get yourself killed!!

Wolf: That man..! What is he doing? He should be here. He...he...he's exactly what I need~ Yes. The perfect lure. Just like that woman.

Sniper Wolf had Otacon in her crosshairs and aimed for his leg. She squeezes the trigger but something was stopping her from pulling it and wounding him. She grits her teeth and tries again but she couldn't bring herself to shoot him.

Wolf: Fool! Amateur! Stop hesitating and fire!

She tries again but seeing Otacon risking his life not only for the boys, but for her. He doesn't want to see any of them get hurt and his kindness began to melt away her frozen heart

Wolf: Hal...

A bullet hit Wolf in the shoulder and she shouts as she falls to the floor

Dante: Dom get Otacon out of here!!

Dominic runs towards Otacon and dives under another bullet from Sniper Wolf who was kneeling down with her arm bleeding.

Wolf: Damn boys! I won't miss again!

Sapphire shot two rounds and ran over to try and rescue Otacon. Sapphire and Dominic cross each other, firing at Sniper Wolf while trying to save Otacon who was still waving his hands at her in an attempt at stopping her from shooting but she kept trying to kill Dominic while dodging shots from Sapphire

The two teammates hit behind a pile of snow while Wolf waited for them to peak out. She shivered as her torso was bleeding from another bullet that hit her and she was on the verge of bleeding out.

Dominic:*panting*

Sapphire:*panting*

Sniper Wolf looked around for the two and Sapphire waited for the right moment as he jumps out of cover and aims at Wolf who shoots the rifle out of his hands and it lands behind him. She smirks as the red laser from her rifle pointed right at his head.

Otacon: No!!

Closing his eyes, Sapphire gave a single shaky sigh before he backflips over to his sniper and lands on it, making the gun flip up into his hand and he spins in a 360 rotation and kneels down and he and Wolf let out one final bullet.

The world seemed to go still as it waits for one of them too fall. Howling of wolfs were heard in the distance as Wolf fell to the ground with a hole in her chest

Otacon: No!!

Dante grabs Otacon and holds him back from attacking Sapphire

Otacon: Damn you! You son of a bitch! You shot her!

Dante: Otacon stop!

Otacon: Don't you understand? I loved her!

Sapphire: I...I had no choice..I'm sorry.

The group walks over to Wolf who laid on the ground bleeding out from her wounds.

Obito: M—maybe we can..

Wolf: No...there is no saving me. I am lung shot. You...are pretty good.

Sapphire: You're not so bad yourself. I'm sorry..

Wolf: There is...no one to blame...Hal.

Otacon grabbed her hand and knelt beside her crying

Otacon: I'm here! I'm sorry! This is all my fault..

Wolf: No...don't be. You showed me the face of compassion. I...could not bring myself to shoot you...I think...I even missed intentionally because of your kind heart Hal...My heart had become as cold as the winter winds...my only focus was to kill for the cause...I lost sight..of the only target that matters...the only light left in my life....Hal...you set me free...and for that...I...love...you....

Wolfs hand became limp as she took her final breath. Otacon took the handkerchief she gave to him and places it over her face and sat there as tears fell down his cheeks. Obito walked up with her gun and placed it in her hands and wiped a tear from his eyes and he sees a pack of wolves walking over to them and lay down beside Wolf. They howl into the night sky.

Sapphire: You know...I was told once that love could bloom on the battlefield. And she loved you Otacon. So much that she couldn't bring herself to kill.

Otacon: But I couldn't save her...all I can do now is cry...

Sapphire: And that's what makes you more human than us.

Otacon: Why?

Dante: Because the world doesn't cry unless it has lost something. We cry because we lose something dear to us. Just like you are now. We don't because...because we have no one else.

Obito: We have each other. We're more than teammates. We're family. Brothers.

Obito puts his hand out over Wolfs body. Sapphire joins in as well does Otacon and Dante. They all look towards Dominic who was standing there

Sapphire: Well?

Dominic: No. I can't love again. I can only fight.

He turns around and starts walking back towards the main base

Otacon: Why? What are you fighting for? What am I fighting for? What are any of us fighting for?

Dominic stops and turns back around to his team...his friends.

Dominic: If we make it though this, I'll tell you. Obito...tell them...everything. If I don't make it back I want them to know why I'm like this.

Obito: What about team RWBY? JNPR? What do I tell them?

Dominic: Tell them who I am...tell them all who I really am. If this is our last meeting, then I'm glad that you're my friend...I'm m gonna get my clothes. I prefer to die comfortably.

Dominic walks into the night as his team and Otacon watching him as he disappears

Otacon: What did he mean by that? By telling them everything?

Obito: Dominic and I...have talks. Alone. He's been telling me what happened to him after..you know what. Dante.

Dante: What happened?

Obito: It's...it's horrible. What she did to him...that..witch! That demon! It's...god I can't say it..

Sapphire: Come. You can tell me.

Sapphire takes Obito to the side and kneels down as Obito whispers to him everything he and Dominic ever talked about. About Blake. About hell. About his true feelings towards everyone. Everything he hid to himself for so long. They come back and Sapphire wipes his nose and sighs

Sapphire: Let's go. We're out of time. If they know we're this close to stopping Metal Gear, then they'll try everything to launch those nukes. Otacon. Just get out of here. We'll take it from here.

Otacon: No. Don't lose your comms. I'll be right behind all of you. I'm not losing someone else today.

Sapphire: Just know that we won't hate you if you decide to leave. You can go and get a head start on your new life. Away from all this.

Team ODDS leaves Otacon as they begin to walk towards the underground maintenance base. Otacon presses the button on his side and enters into his camouflage mode and walks away towards the base.

Dante: What did he tell you?

Sapphire: You don't want to know...

They walk down a flight of stairs and make their way towards an elevator. Sapphire taps on a few buttons and the large elevator begins to descend into the base. A group of Atlas androids jump down and point their guns at them

Dante: Seems this is where they keep the good stuff.

Sapphire: They're just androids.

Obito: Psst!

Sapphire looks at Obito who wiggled a few kunai behind him which made his teammate smirk and nod.

Sapphire raises his hands into the air and forms two icicles in his palms. He then throws the icicles at two androids which gave Obito the chance to jump up and throw multiple kunai at the rest of the androids. They fall to the floor sparking and seizing until they explode leaving nothing but spare parts and ash

Dante: So was that a combo move?

Sapphire: No but we're working on that.

The elevator reaches the bottom and the trio walk into a room filled with storage containers with many ravens inhabiting it. Sapphire looks up and sees a group of them flying around something and he turns his head slightly as he looks at them

Sapphire: What is that?

The ravens disperse and they swarm the trio before flying up and perching themselves above them

Obito: Look!

Obito points at what the ravens were hiding. A large man with a container on his back and a mini gun attached to it. Vulcan Raven.

Raven stands up and turns around to look down at the boys and he crosses his arms at them while smirking

Raven: Welcome Cossack! This is the end of the road for you. Right my friends?

The ravens around them all caw in agreement to Ravens words.

Raven: They're becoming excited. Ravens aren't scavengers like most people think. They're simply returning to the natural world that which is no longer needed. Sometimes, they even attack wounded Grimm.

Sapphire: You were the one in that tank?

Dante: Heh, must've been a tight fit for a big boy like you.

The boys laugh but it was cut off when Raven began laughing too

Raven: Hahahaha! Yes. But that was no true battle.

Raven jumps down from the containers he was standing on and lands on the floor with a loud thud while pointing his mini gun at them

Raven: The ravens and I were testing you. The judgment is decided! The ravens say you are all true warriors.

The raven tattoo on his head comes to life and it flies out towards the trio and lands on Sapphires shoulder

Obito: I...I can't move!

Raven: The raven has put the mark of death upon you.

Sapphire: Are you sure it's me that the ravens are calling for death?

The raven on his shoulder caws and flaps its wings at Raven who was shocked as his body became frozen and he watches as Sapphire walks up to him

Sapphire: There a reason I was once called "The Reaper of Atlas". It's because death is assured once you face my blade.

Sapphire holds up his hand as the raven jumps from his shoulder to his finger and he looks into its blood red eyes

Sapphire: I was born from death...and I will dispense it on all deemed worthy by the ravens. You could say death is my mother. And I am her child abandoned on Remnant. It is said you are attuned with the supernatural. Let's see how you face against those who kill the supernatural!

The illusion breaks and Raven pants as he looks at Sapphire who was standing back with his teammates with a smirk on his face. Raven growls and picks up a container beside him and throws it at the trio. Four kunai imbed themselves in the container and they glow brightly before exploding and destroy the container completely.

Raven spins up his mini gun as the trio take out their weapons

Raven: This is your final challenge!! Die!!

To be continued...

Sapphire: Aw! What?!

Dante: Come on man!

Obito: Seriously?

Dominic: I didn't even get my clothes back! This is bullshit!

I said to be continued!!
