20 Jack The Ripper And His Shadow Are Back

Callista's POV:

"Raiden and Nightmare: Both your current emotional states appears highly volatile. I am sure you both do not intend to abort the mission, but I suggest you both void combat for the time being."-Wolf (On comm-links)

Dad is limping and I try to help him walk around with his left arm around my shoulder. I put my left hand on his chest, where his heart is, and he puts his head on top of mine. We head off with Wolfy beside me to where Wolf went off to and try to get as far away as we can from the cop cyborgs. We are successful on staying on the right side and I echo-locate where the enemy could be walking. I see one behind a bus but on the far left side. We go on the right side of the bus and slowly try to pass the cop.

A tank comes out of the World Marshal building and another cop comes out. He doesn't look to his left and doesn't see us. But when I echo-locate again, I sense two up ahead of us. I knew straight away we cannot pass them without one of them to noticing us. So we walk on.

One cop spots us and alerts the other beside him. I take Leopard Claw out with my left hand and dad already has his in his right hand. When the cops comes at us, we double team and swipe our swords at them away from each other. We are able to land a few hits on them, but didn't do much damage to them.

'We are not getting anywhere with this. Screw it.'-Me (In thought)

I try to get dad and I closer to the building, but I see Sam coming out of the building. So I start heading to him.

"Not so black and white now, is it? Is your cause just, or is that "just" what you both tell yourselves?"-Sam

"Fudge you."-Dad

"Sam, call off your goons. NOW!"-Me

All three of us are able to get close to Sam and he calls off the goons. But then I sense someone else is in the area. Dad falls to the ground in a crouch position and I crouch beside him.

"How pleased you both are to chop away, Jack the Ripper and his little Shadow. My name is Monsoon...of the Winds of Destruction."-Monsoon

We both look up to where the voice is coming from.

"Yeah...I guessed as much."-Dad and I

I sense a smile come onto Monsoon's face. I echo-locate where he could be at and see electricity go around him as he brings his arms into an "x" shape. He then leaps off of the building. I then notice his body is going into pieces, with purple electricity in between the pieces, as gravity brings him down to our level.

When he lands, his feet leaves craters and his body comes back together like a magnet. Sam laughs and I think he is saying in his head to his friend, 'show off'. Then the purple electricity then stops emitting off of his body as he squeezes his hands into fists and cracks his neck from the left to right. He then looks over to Sam and he gives him an angry shrug with an angry sigh.

"Feasting on the insides of both of your enemies. How easily you both ignore the loss of life when it suits both of your convenience. So tell me: Who saves the weak from the ones who saves the weak?"-Monsoon (Persuading)

"You're the ones exploiting them."-Me

"You take advantage of their weakness..."-Dad

"Of course they get hurt when you set them up as your human shield."-Dad and I

"Kill or be killed, Jack, Shadow. Phnom Penh taught me that."-Monsoon

"Yes, you both aren't the only ones to grow up on the killing fields. War is a cruel parent, but an effective teacher. Its final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: That this world, and all its people, are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: Memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture--they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair...All memes. All passed along."-Monsoon (Ranting)

"How about "full of crap"?"-Dad

"Is that a meme?"-Me

"You both can't fight nature, Jack. Shadow. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong prey upon the weak. Sam tells me you both see your weapons as a tool. Something that saves lives--a means of justice. Now there's a pretty meme. Exquiste! It spared you both the burden of all the lives you'ves taken... …Absolved you both of guilt when you both enjoyed it. That is, until the illusion was broken. Don't be ashamed. It's only nature, running its course. Well for Shadow it is only animal instincts kicking in. You both have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for. You both can die with a clear conscience."-Monsoon (Taking out weapons after talking)

(A/N: This is when it starts to get a little gory. I warn you now. Also don't flag for it is the metal gear series. It is always going to have gore in it.)

"You're right. About me, I mean. I knew something was... off. After the Patriots, I thought I could walk off the battlefield and into a normal life. But here I am, surrounded by death, arguing philosophy with terrorists."-Dad and I

"I told myself this was about justice. About protecting the weak. But I was wrong."-Dad

"Both of us, Raiden."-Me

"Then you both admit it?"-Monsoon

"I learned young that killing your enemies felt good."-Dad

"Really good."-Me

"In America, my friends... my family... They helped us forget the devil inside. But who are we kidding?"-Dad then I came in at end

"I was born/created to kill."-Dad and I (Raiden-born, Callista-created, smashes fists into floor)

"The bit about our swords--that "means of justice" stuff? I guess we needed something to keep "the Rippers" in check when we are knee-deep in bodies."-Dad then I

"You both..."-Monsoon (Confused)

"But you -- all this -- is a wake-up call to what we really believe. What we really are."-Dad and I (Same time)

"What are you both saying...?"-Monsoon (Confused even more)

"I'm saying Jack is back."-Dad (Venom in voice)

"His Shadow too."-Me (Leopard guttural growl coming through in voice)

We both slowly then get up from the ground.

"Kill them!"-Monsoon

I quickly signal to Wolfy to go on ahead to the front door to get away from the battle. He nods and quickly heads over to the area. I then quickly get behind dad as the enemy comes at us. One enemy runs at us with his sword in his hands. He stabs dad in the stomach. I dodge the sword to the right when it comes through dad's back. I sense another coming at me, but before he could even reach me with his. I flip over him, grab his head while in the air, and snap his neck killing him. But as the body hits the floor, I hear a very familiar laugh come out of dad's mouth.

I hear a gasp come from where Monsoon and Sam are. I look at them and see Sam make a sound of disgust as he sees dad with the sword in his abdomen.

"Doktor. Turn off my pain inhibitors."-Dad (Doktor's screen comes up)

"What? This... This is madness! You--"-Doktor (Confused on request)

"Do it!"-Dad

"All right..."-Doktor

I hear dad yell as he grabs for the hilt of the sword which is still in his abdomen and I also see his eye turn blood red like it did when he was Jack. But when he yells, I suddenly get this strange feeling throughout my body. I haven't had this feeling in a very long time, since I was kidnapped by Liquid Snake. The instinct is like a wild animal wanting to be unleashed.

A very deep dangerous growl comes out of my throat and I feel my eye go into a slit like a wild cat. I see both Monsoon and Sam look at me and they both have a very stunned look on their faces. I laugh, but my laugh doesn't sound like my normal one, it almost sounds like an angry yowl.

Monsoon's POV:

'I thought the project was not a success, after all the others weren't successful. But their reports on the last one, before the project was terminated, was incomplete. Shadow is the incomplete one and she is a success.'-Me (In thought)

Jack's POV:

After Doktor turns off my pain inhibitors, I yell out and grab the hilt of the sword which is in my abdomen. But as I am taking the sword out of my abdomen, I hear this very deep threatening growl come from behind me. I look behind me in my peripheral vision on my right side and see Shadow's only eye go into slit like an angry cat. I hear a yowl sounding like a laugh come from her as she looks at both Monsoon and Sam.

"Pain... This is why I fight."-Me

I grunt as I pull out the sword from my abdomen. I bend behind as the sword comes fully out and blood sprays out from my abdomen. Then red fog surrounds my body. I see in my peripheral vision Shadow messing with her Ipod and then hear a dark song play over our comm-links.

"This is my normal."-Me

"My nature."-Shadow and I

"You've both lost your minds."-Monsoon

He then signals to a lackey to go ahead and attack us. He comes at us and slides himself to try grabbing the sword which is on the ground, but I stab his hand to the ground before he could even touch it. Two more lackeys come at me, I take the sword on the ground with my foot and plunge the one behind me with it. I quickly put my foot back down and put my hand on the sword. I do a counterclockwise swing to the two lackeys coming at me.

Then I see a blur of purple and silver come from my right side and the next I see a completely butcher body of the lackey in front of me. His right hand still has the sword in it, but the rest of the body is completely dismembered and disfigured like it is mutilated by a big cat. I then see her in front of me with a little bit of blood on her hands and feet, but still none of it on the outfit she is wearing.

Both Shadow and I start laughing from the fun we just had. Shadow then moves her body to be on my left side, she is almost leaning on my chest with Leopard Claw in her right hand. She licks her left hand, tasting the blood of the enemy she just mutilated. She purrs in satisfaction at the taste of the blood.

"Who's next?"-Shadow and I

I raise the sword in my hand and Shadow raises Leopard Claw, parallel to mine, with her other hand which has claws for nails. I point the sword at Monsoon and then over at Sam, Shadow moves her sword with mine. Sam moves his arms down and starts walking to us.

"I'll take this dance."-Sam

"No Sam. Report back to the chief. Their mine."-Monsoon (Moves arm to block path)

Sam puts away what is out of his sword and leaves his left arm on it to move it back behind him.

"You're the boss. Shadow your look is new and I can't wait to dance with it."-Sam

I growl at what Sam had said to my daughter and I put my left arm around her waist. Sam sees this, he backs off and heads on back to the building.

"I misjudged you both. You both are like us after all."-Monsoon

I feel Shadow put her hand on top of mine and I squeeze it.

"Now you're just being nasty."-Shadow and I (Same time)

We both laugh at the same time as I hug Shadow protectively. She rubs her head underneath my chin and purrs with affection. I smirk at her and I have a feeling she is too. *

(A/N: Sort of like this, but Callista's left hand is holding Leopard Claw and Raiden's arm is around her waist. Also Raiden is taller than her by a head.)

"Oh to answer the rhetorical question you have asked not too long ago. I did lose my mind, when Liquid Snake took me away from Jack and Solid Snake. But it is thanks to him I have this nickname, Jack the Ripper's Shadow."-Shadow (While checking her new claws out)

"That nickname you love so much -- wanna know how I got it?"-Me

I let Shadow go and she moves to my left side. I move the bloody sword in front of me and wipe my left hand over it. She then goes back onto her Ipod and changes the song.

"Actually -- why don't I give you a demonstration?"-Me

"I think it's time for Jack/Shadow... to let 'er rip!"-Shadow and I (Same time) *

I then hear a song play over our comm-links called, "Stains of Time." The song plays as Monsoon gets into his battle position. We also get into our battle stances.

3rd POV:

Monsoon is the first one to come at them.

'He is fast, but not up to the speed of Shadow in this new form of hers.'-Jack (In thought)

Shadow quickly switches Leopard Claw to L'Etranger. She is able to hit him with her new speed ability, but on her last hit, he blocks it. Jack gets up behind him and is able to get three swipes at him before he jumps away from them.

"I hope that you both choke."-Monsoon

They notice Monsoon using his wind to stir up the dust in the area to blind them. Shadow echo-locates quickly and Jack does too, to see where he is going to hit them at.

Monsoon quickly strikes at her right and she blocks it with L'Etranger, he then jumps back into the dust fog. Next he strikes at Jack's left, he is able to quickly block it with his sword. He does this about six more times before the fog clears up.

After it clears up, both Jack and Shadow runs at Monsoon. They both try to attack at the same time but he is able to block both moves. He pushes them back and then goes after Jack first. Shadow quickly passes L'Etranger to Jack and he uses it against him. But then he goes after her, Jack passes L'Etranger back to her. She blocks the attacks he is going to give her.

She does a few attacks with the staff, but also took a few swipes at him with her clawed fleshy hand. Those attacks are just as effective as L'Etranger. After a few more hits from both hand and staff, Monsoon then switches back to Jack.

He switches back and forth between the two a few more times before jumping away again. But this time he jumps on top of a lamp post. He then jumps from the light post to the rooftop of the World Marshal building, then onto the rooftop of the building across from the World Marshal building.

"This one's on me!"-Monsoon

He picks up a tank with his magnetic ability and throws it at the duo. They get their swords into position to strike. They both take turns cutting the tank to pieces before it falls to the ground in pieces and blows up.

"Left hand rule!"-Monsoon

Monsoon then picks up two items this time, a helicopter and a tank. He tosses the helicopter to Jack and then toss the tank to Shadow. They both cut the two vehicles to pieces and Jack then grabs a flash grenade. He throws it close to Monsoon and it blows up in his face. Shadow quickly takes the wide opportunity to dissect the blinded enemy. She cuts off his head, quickly running after it and starts slashing at it.

She is able to eight solid good hits before his body magnetically comes back together. Jack then comes running to her side to help block a few of the attacks which were coming at her.

"Red phosphorous, Jack, Shadow! Infrared is useless!"-Monsoon

He then brings the fog back after he said this. Then comes at them all nine times at different angles. They both are able to block all the attacks coming at them. Then the fog lifts and he is standing a few feet away from them.

They both run at him and Jack swipes at him with his sword and Shadow with L'Etranger. They hack at him many times before he leaps back up to the rooftop of the building in front of World Marshal building.

"Welcome to my utopia of death!"-Monsoon

Monsoon then lifts up two tanks and a single helicopter from behind the wall. He flings the helicopter first at Shadow and a tank at Jack. They're able to destroy the vehicles which are thrown at them, then he sends the last tank at them. They do the same thing again and after the tank blows up, he sends in three tanks and a single helicopter.

"Magnetic force, Shadow, Jack! Nature's force! Magnetic power!"-Monsoon

He then flings two tanks at Shadow and a tank and helicopter at Jack. They destroy the vehicles and pick up the flash grenades, the destroyed vehicles drop to the ground.

"I have won this!"-Monsoon

"No you haven't Monsoon!"-Shadow

Shadow throws the flash grenade at Monsoon and Jack runs at him right when it flashes. He only does a single horizontal cut at him before his head comes off. Then he swings at the head eight more times before the body magnetically comes back together with the head again.

Monsoon then runs around the duo a few times before coming at them. Shadow gives Jack L'Etranger and she takes Leopard Claw out. They both slash their weapons at him before he detaches his body at the areas they are slashing at.

"What...?! No...!"-Monsoon

He then jumps up on top of the World Marshal building. Then uses his magnetic ability to bring out a huge dirt pile, which contains both dirt and vehicles, from the right side.

"Lorentz force! Go!'-Monsoon

He then spins the dirt pile horizontal then vertical and launches it at the duo five times. In between each time he flings the dirt pile, he is throwing explosive barrels at the duo.

After the fifth time, the pile explodes, Monsoon then comes down from the building with the purple electricity around his body.

"You both lost this one!"-Monsoon

He then swipes his sais at the duo four times before detaching the rest of his body. Jack grabs the flash grenade and throws it at Monsoon's top part of his body. It's Shadow's turn to slash at him and she does a single vertical slash to cut his head off. Then they both slash at the head, but they couldn't get many hits on it before the body magnetically comes back to it.

"Have a smoke!"-Monsoon

The fog comes back again and Monsoon hits them eight times at different angles before it dissipates. They try to get a few hits on him but he dodges or blocks all the attacks they swing at him. Again the dust comes back and the duo are on the far right side, they can see a helicopter on the other side of the fence.

"Fear the unseen much, Jack? Shadow?"-Monsoon

"You forgot one thing though Monsoon. Cats can see in the dark!"-Shadow

Shadow this time does something crazy, she jumps right into the fog and uses her new ability to see through the darkness of the fog. She slashes Leopard Claw at Monsoon before he could even land a hit on Jack. They do this dance about six more times, without Jack seeing it but he could hear it, before Monsoon makes the fog dissipate again.

"So this is Jack's and Shadow's terrifying true form, huh?"-Monsoon

Then sending out two tanks and three helicopters from behind the wall. The duo dices the vehicles with ease. Monsoon then sends up six tanks. Again the duo slices and dices the vehicles into little pieces before they could land on the floor.

After the last vehicle blows up, Monsoon jumps back down onto the ground. Shadow throws a flash grenade at him and Jack runs at him. Jack lands six hard hits on his head. Then Shadow sneaks up behind him and finishes him off with L'Etranger.

But Monsoon gets back up onto the World Marshall building and flings another huge dirt pile at them. He spins it vertical and flings it at the duo five times with stray barrels going everywhere every time he flings the dirt pile at them.

Once the dirt pile comes back up after the fifth time, the dirt pile blows up. But then the duo doesn't see a monument on the right of them is getting magnetically lifted by Monsoon.

"I'll put you both under, weaklings."- Monsoon

"Are you sure you are the weakling and not us because weaklings like you would only do this if they are close to being beat."-Shadow

"Shut up! Now what will you both do, Jack the Ripper and his Shadow?"-Monsoon

Shadow's POV:

Both dad and I jump over the monument to dodge it and it lands where we were just at, we run up it. As we get close to the edge of it, dad jumps and I throw L'Etranger at Monsoon as he makes contact with his feet on his body. Dad slams him back into the World Marshal building and slams a foot into his body making him go further and further into the building.

Dad then jumps down, I take Leopard Claw out and finish Monsoon off.

"¡Espero que usted se convierte en un juguete de masticar bien para perro del diablo! (I hope you become a nice chew toy for the devil's dog!)"-Me (While giving the final slash)

I jump off the building before Monsoon's body explodes, but his head comes down with me as I land beside dad. We then get a call from Monsoon. I put my sun goggles over my eye as dad accepts his call.

"Kill... or be killed..."-Monsoon

"Don't be ashamed."-Me (Growls low)

"It's only nature, running its course."-Dad (Anger in voice)

"Your memes... end here."-Dad and I (Same time)

"No. I passed one... to you both... Sure as the sun... will rise... The slaughter... will continue... Now I return... to the earth... Wind blows, rain falls... the strong... pray... on the weak... All... is as it should... be..."-Monsoon

Monsoon takes his final breath and his screen logs off. Dad then looks over at me with an angry face.

"Let's talk about what happened with Liquid Snake! It is obviously that you didn't tell me everything that happened."-Dad

TO BE CONTINUED....

A/N: Hey there my little wolf pups, PrincessWolfhunter here.

Wolfhunter: I hope you pups like this chapter and the next one is going to be another filler chapter. What did happen with Callista when she was kidnapped by Liquid Snake? What is she not telling Raiden?

Raiden: Finally some answers.

Wolfhunter: *Yelps like a dog and jumps in air* Raiden... Aren't you suppose to be interrogating your daughter right now?

Callista: *Walks into room* He is but before he does he wants to say something to the readers he knows you are going to have a hard time saying. *Walks over to Wolfhunter and hugs her*

Raiden: *Nods head to what his daughter has just said*

Wolfhunter: Okay and thanks Raiden. *Hugs Callista back with tears coming down face*

Raiden: *Nods head again* Anyways, Wolfhunter here has just went to a funeral on 1/7/17 for a family member on her dad's side of the family, who had passed away on 1/3/17. The exact same day Wolfhunter's brother came home from London, England. It is hard on her family, especially her grandma the most because she is the only sibling left on her side of the family. Wolfhunter's grandma was the baby of three siblings. The middle sibling is Wolfhunter's great aunt, who recently passed in about three years in February. The eldest is her great uncle, but the better part is the fact she was able to spend as much time with him whenever they had a family reunion on that side of the family when she was at a younger age. He passed at the age 82 years old. *Hands a tissue to Wolfhunter*

Wolfhunter: Thanks again Raiden for doing this for me. I really appreciate it very much. *Grabs tissue from Raiden and wipes eyes and nose* I guess this is it for this chapter. No worries, the next chapter is coming up soon. Again I hope you like this chapter, if you pups do then hit the vote button and leave a comment on what you pups liked the most about this chapter or anything too.

Raiden/Callista: *Waves goodbye* Bye comrades hope to see you in the next chapter.

Wolfhunter: That is my line you guys. *Gently slaps their arms*

Raiden/Callista: Is that all you got.

Wolfhunter: I don't want to injure my main duo of my story. Anyways I will howl to you little wolf pups later. *Howls*
