9 3 Years and The First Two Enemies Show Themselves

Time Skip 3 Years Later...

Callista's POV:

Dad, Courtney, two android body guards, the prime minister, his adviser, and I are driving around the city.

"Three years. We've come so far in just three short years..." Prime minister says while he is looking out the window, he is sitting by.

"A sign of a strong leader, sir." His adviser says to him, making the prime minister look away from his window and to him.

"No... the will of a strong people" Prime minister counters back.

I look out the window and see the people doing everyday things and a few kids playing soccer on the street.

"And one very able adviser." He says with pride in his voice to him, making me look away from the window and at him.

"Thank you, sir." Adviser says back to him, while adjusting his glasses on his face.

"Your team deserves credit as well... Mr. and Ms. Lightning Bolt." Prime minister says to both of us while he is looking at us.

Dad and I take our sunglasses off, showing off his blue eyes and me showing my lavender eyes to the prime minister.

"Just doing our job, Mr. Prime Minister." Dad says and I nod with him in agreement.

"I must admit, I once thought of groups like yours as opportunists-enablers of war. But both of you have trained our new army well-order has returned sooner than expected. Perhaps I was wrong about these 'private military companies'..." He said, I smirk at him

"We prefer "private security providers" sir." I said, before dad could, in my monotone voice.

He nods with agreement and says, "Most of Maverick's contracts do focus on security." I nod agreeing with him.

"Yes, well, "security" can mean many things..." He says while I look behind me to see two tanks in front of the limo which all of us are in.

Dad and I put our sunglasses back on, while I say in my professional voice, "There's a saying we both like." Dad continues on with the saying, "One sword keeps another in the sheath. Sometimes, the threat of violence alone is a deterrent sometimes, by taking a life, others can be preserved." We then finish the saying off together with no emotion in our voice, "It's the code of the samurai lived by..." I look down at dad's sword case after we say this.

"Mm... Soldiers and Philosophers. You both full of surprises, Mr. and Ms. Lightning Bolt. Also the fact that the both of you can finish each others sentences. (A/N: I wanted to say sandwiches)."Prime minister says to the both of us.

"I could say the same about you, Mr. Prime Minister." Dad says. Then he looks out the window and unconsciously grabs my hand.

The limo slams on its brakes hard and dad had to release my hand and grab my shoulder, so I wouldn't fall out of my seat. I nod my thanks to him.

"What is happening?" The Adviser asks Courtney.

"Someone's blocking the lead vehicle... Hold on." Courtney answers the adviser's question.

?????'s POV

"Clear the road! This is official state business!" A soldier in the tank in front of me yells out.

I just move my hand above my head and continue walking. I stop walking, grab my sword with a red blade and pull it out of its sheath. My sword is cover in red lightning all over it and I was moving it around as if looking at it as if for the first time.

"I said, clear the road!" The soldier says again.

'I am starting to not like him.' I thought to myself and start walking again.

"We're authorized to use force if you do n-." The soldier starts to say, but I cut him off by running at him.

He starts shooting at me, but I kept dodging the bullets and have my sword in the ready position to start swinging. I jump into the air with the soldier following my movement with his bullets and tries to shoot me down. But I swing my sword blocking the bullets and then cutting both the gun and man in half. I then cut the bloody corpse two more times before it could hit the ground in front of the tank.

Two more tanks comes close and stops. The back ends open up letting out more soldiers with their guns in their hands.

Callista's POV:

"Leopard one! U-turn! Turning back!" I hear Courtney say to the driver.

The driver shifts the gears and does what Courtney tells him to do, along with the tank behind us turning to be in front of us.

????"s POV:

I hear the soldiers moving around behind me and stop once they got into the position, I assume they're order to go into. I get back up from my crouch position. I move my sword to my left side flinging off the blood. I turn my head to the soldiers and give them a creepy smile at them.

"Open fire!" Another soldier yells out.

Callista's POV:

"Who was that!" The adviser yells out.

"A cyborg..." Dad says.

"A samurai cyborg, Raiden." I said out loud to him but he ignores what I had just said and so does everyone else in the limo.

"One of our competitors?" Says the body guard sitting beside me.

"Courtney! What is happening" I hear Boris say from her tablet.

"We got hit, sir. A cyborg." Courtney answers him.

I look in front of me and see the samurai cyborg start cutting up more soldiers. I then hear Courtney start pressing buttons on her tablet.

"XIFF comes up "unaffiliated."' Courtney says with confusion.

"I'll notify all checkpoints. Get N'mani out of there!" Boris says to Courtney and the rest of us.

"Yes, sir." Courtney replies for all of us.

In the top corner of my eye, I see a cyborg, on top of a roof, with a bazooka and is aiming at the area between the tank and us. "Brace for impact you guys." I call out to everyone in the limo.

The cyborg shoots the rocket and it explodes in the area, I predict it would land. The driver stops the limo and the tank swerves to the side a little but stops also. Then the back of the tank opens it hatch, letting more soldiers from inside of it.

But the cyborg on the roof jumps and lands on the top of the tank, killing the shooter on top of it. Another one comes out of nowhere and lands on the ground, killing the soldiers on the ground already out of the tank.

Then a truck, with a blockade attach to the back of it, blockades the front area, we are in. The driver shifts gears for the limo to go in reverse.

"We are going to die..." The adviser says. I just roll my eyes but keep my thoughts to myself.

"Stay calm." The prime minister says and I nod in agreement.

Another truck gets behind us and blockades our way, causing the driver to stop the limo from hitting the blockade. Then shifts the gears again into drive, moving the limo to the left side. The limo swerves to the side, when close to a smaller plastic blockade and then moves forward again. But he is force to stop the limo again because there are three cyborgs in front of us.

"He's got friend's! On our twelve!" Courtney says.

"Raiden, Lavender-eyed!" Boris says to us.

I look to dad, he looks to me and we both nod in agreement. Courtney looks behind her at us.

"We're on it. Guard the prime minister.' Raiden says while we take off our sunglasses. I grab my guitar case which holds my baby. (A/N: If any of you get this reference you are more awesome than Prussia).

Dad opens the door, grabs his case, gets out along with me. We both grab our suits and toss them into the air. Dad shows off his cyborg body, I show off my outfit for missions but with the right pant leg and left sleeve cut off, to show off my new limbs.

We both look at the enemies. Dad holds up his case, hitting a button on the top to open the bottom of his case to release his sword from it. While I unzip my case to un-sheath my baby and I put my case back on my back because it is a gift grandpa Snake had gaven me, it can actually hold the weight and longer than my baby.

Dad grabs his sword and throws the case behind him. While the limo drives away from this area. He then un-sheaths the sword and blue lightning coming off of it, cuts the wall beside us to make the crates fall behind us. He did this to block the enemies from being able to getting to the prime minister.

"Let's get this over with, right Lavender-eyed." Dad says to me while spinning his sword around his wrist clockwise. I nod my head in agreement.

He then gets into a fighting position and his solution radar comes over his left eye. I get into my firing position, which is just getting down on one knee, and my solution radar comes over my left eye too. I quickly take off my silencer and pocketing it in my one of many pockets. I look through my scope with my right eye for it is my sharper one.

I make the first move by shooting at the enemy, on the right of us, in the brain. Dad runs at the enemy to the left of us. The middle one tries to get to dad, while his back is to him but I shoot him in the heart before he could cause damage to dad.

"Raiden, Lavender-eyed, the limo is in trouble! Get back there ASAP! I'll add the limo to your solution radars!" Boris says to us.

I hit my hidden buttons on my heels to make my roller blades come out and skate to area, the radar says the limo is at. Dad is running right beside me. We see another set of enemies come at us but dad cuts two of them down with his sword. I shoot the last one and the second one, dad tries to cut but didn't explode like the others.

"If you can't cut through the barricade, try the fence, huh?" Boris suggests to us through our communicator and that is what he did, I just followed after him.

I grab my iPod really quick put in one ear bud and connect it to my communicator, so others can hear it too. Scroll through my songs and chose the perfect song but didn't hit the play button yet for it is not the right moment yet.

Body guard #1's POV:

I dodge a swing coming at me and then I swing my blade at the enemy, slicing the enemy in half. My partner does the same thing. Then the both of us hear something moving in the water. When we look over, we see there is a huge hill forming from in the water. Then a huge prototype metal gear comes out of the water.

It lands right in front of us and opens its mouth. It releases out a loud roar at us, while charging up its plasma cannon from where the cockpit is supposed to be at.

One it releases its laser; we both dodge the attack but the building behind us got hit. The limo is toss onto it's back by the air pressure from the blast the metal gear shot out. When we look at the building all we see is the middle of the building is missing.

Then it roars again. The prime minister gets his senses back again from the limo tossing onto its roof. My partner tries to get to the prime minister to help him out, but he notices someone is coming at him. He tries to brace for an attack but both of his arms are cut off and then got cut two more times before he hit the ground. Once he hit the ground, he went offline.

I ran at the guy and try to hit him from behind, but he blocks it with his own blade. Then he turns around to face me and tries to swing at me but I bent backward to dodge the swing. I try to hit him again but he blocks it and spins to his right cutting off my right arm which held my blade. He then attaches his left to his right arm and spins around on his left, attacking in the front and attaching both blades to either side of my neck. I use one of my hands to try and pry the blades open for me to get out of the hold, so I too don't offline like my partner.

I try to move back but I am stuck in this position, grunting out in pain. But the blades are getting tighter making me yell out in pain and causing the man in front of me to start laughing sadistically.

The last thing he does to me is pull me forward a little and then close his blades completely. The last thing I see is red everywhere then the words protection: program execution onto my screen, then the screen becomes clear again. But I fall over and go offline.

3rd POV:

The prime minister tries to crawl out of the toss over limo but felt a hand on his ankle and a rough tug. The kidnapper is standing on the limo holding him upside down. Then he passes out and the kidnapper lifts him further up, so he is over his right metal gear shoulder.

Raiden's POV:

Up ahead I see a man on top of the toss over limo with the prime minister on his right shoulder.

"Stop!" Both Callista and I yell out to him.

Once we got close enough but still have some distance from the kidnapper, we stop. Well Callista slid to a stop right beside me. We both are panting a bit. The kidnapper turns around and looks at me first then at Callista but a little longer than with me.

"Ha... So you're Jack and the Lavender-eyed Nightmare." The kidnapper says to us.

"What do you want with the prime minister?" Callista questions him with no emotion both in her voice and face.

"I want him... dead," He says and looks at the prime minister, "Nothing personal, 'course. Africa's just gettin' a bit too peaceful." He continues to say while looking around.

"What?" Both of us say.

"Business ain't been the same since they shut down SOP. "A clean break from the war economy." Huh. Well some of us liked that economy. How's an honest warmonger suppose to make a living?" He says while pacing on the limo.

"This is your answer?" I said. Causing the kidnapper in front of us to start laughing for a few seconds.

The kidnapper grabs his sword and about half way I yell, "Don't do it!"

"Don't worry now, I won't," He looks at the prime minister then back to us saying, "not while he's still useful."

I frown at him and both of us growls at him. "So long..." The kidnapper says while using the limo as a springboard to get to a close by building's roof.

Our radar comes back over our left eyes and we start running to the building the kidnapper jumps to. But we fail to notice, him makes a signal to the prototype metal gear to come in front of us. We are force to stop, letting the kidnapper get away with the unconscious prime minister.

Callista's POV:

I grab my iPod again, hit the play button and the song "Rules of Nature" comes on. Dad and everyone hears the song come on and dad just shakes his head. The metal gear in front of us starts to roar almost like signaling the start of the battle.

To be continued...
