15 The French Demon From Hell

A/N: Hey to make things more clear about Callista being able to see what her father can for example when he is in one of the modes like I don't know the camera zoom mode. Well basically Doktor and her custom made a set of sun goggles. Those sun goggles are connected to Raiden's eye sight, almost like Bluetooth. So another way of saying it is that whatever Raiden sees when he is in any of his modes, Callista would be able to see it too. But in only one side that way it doesn't confuse her and have her walking into a walk or even worse.

Raiden's POV:

We just come out of the doorway and onto a patio which has a view of our many objective areas: the refinery.

Marie is still behind me with her sun goggles on, when I get down on one knee and press a button on my zoom mode. I zoom on to one of the heating tanks to 4300%.

Marie and I see about two cyborgs on platforms patrolling the area before I zoom to 6353%, moving the camera a little higher, seeing Dolzaev facing us and a strange lady with her back to us.

"Dolzaev." Both Marie and I say at the same time.

We both see he pulls out a pistol, pointing it at the strange lady, and then see what it looks like he is threatening her. But the lady says something to him and his lips say, "fine." Before he starts to storm off, while putting his pistol away.

I then zoom to 6600% and see the lady has turn her own body to the left. She places her arms on the railing, her right arm is up, allowing her chin to rest on the top of her hand.

I get confuse at first thinking, 'Can she really see us at this far of a distance.' Marie does the same thing, even though I cannot see her because she is behind me.

Then all of the sudden she places her right index and middle fingers against her lips and blew us a kiss.

Both Marie and I are surprise at first, but we then lean back, grab our swords with our right hands with the blade pointing away from our bodies. I get back down into a lower to the floor crouching position, while Marie went into a catcher's crouch position. I try to zoom in more but Doktor's screen comes up and in the way.

"Raiden, Kind, what's happening?" Both of your heart rates spiked..." He starts to ask, but I move his screen with my hand away to see the lady.

But when I turn my head back to check if the lady was still there, she wasn't in the spot we last saw her at. I hear Marie give a sigh of relief. I did too.

"Yeah. We just dodged a bullet." I say for the both of us, while exiting out of the camera mode.

"Alright. We're heading for the refinery." I say to Doktor before jumping down over the ledge we are standing on.

I put my right arm up as an anchor to help slow me down on my landing. As I land on the ground, I look up to see if Marie is following me down. But what I see is her still standing on by the ledge, so I put my sword back into its magnetic sheath, give her a signal for her to jump down and also the fact I would catch her. She nods, puts her weapon back into its magnetic sheath too and jumps over the ledge. While she is in the air, she changes her position she knows would be more comfortable for the both of us as I catch her in my arms.

As she lands into my arms, my arms go down from the kinetic force she exerts. Then my arms go back up, she looks at me with appreciation and I nod as a 'you're welcome.' I lower my right arm in order to put her back onto her feet.

Then we bring our swords back out for just in case if any enemies are close by to our area and we start moving again.

We head up some stairs on the other side of us and onto the right. As we get to the roof of the building, we move to the ledge on the other side. I see an enemy and taken care of it before Marie could. Marie just jumps down and lands into a position where her left leg is bent and her right is straight, but to the side.

She gets up from her position, grabs her pistol and shoots at the cyborg with a rocket launcher on its shoulder. While I take care of the other one.

Once we are done, we turn right from the green cube like things, pass a tree, went under a Ferris Wheel, and capture the attention of another metal gear, same one as the one in the battle with the wolf prototype.

HQ! HQ! Encountering resistance. Requesting backup!" The metal gear states.

Causing some more cyborgs and similar metal gears to come back it up to fight us. Marie and I fight the enemies until they are all beaten. We then head straight to the huge gap between a normal cement color wall and a red wall. After we run through a door type opening on the left. Next we turn right to another door which looks like a garage type door.

Boris comes on screen telling us, "We intercepted call for backup during both of your last fight. The caller's position is on both of your soliton radar."

While he is saying this Marie presses the top button in order for the door to open. After we get through the door, we get a call from Boris again.

He states, "Raiden, Lavender-eyed, the cliff is just ahead at the end of the old city. Beyond that is the refinery's backyard."

"So, what, it's a sheer drop? The refinery's not connected to the city at all?" I say to him.

Callista's POV:

"No. It was built two years ago. There should be a narrow path around there that leads to the plant. It is protected by a fence, but probably one of you can cut your ways through, while the other follows behind." Boris answers dad's question and suggests.

"Probably." Dad and I answer back.

"Don't get cocky. Most likely it is Desperado running security down there." Boris says before hanging up.

We then head downhill on the left, until we got to a fence like Boris said. Dad quickly cut it down as we head on in.

Once we are in the new area, all of a sudden a bunch of small, like the size of dad's knee to foot, little metal gear is coming at us. So we did what we do best for if anything goes against us. We fight them and it takes about four to five hits before they blow up. Now cyborgs have joins the party since they heard us fighting the little metal gear.

After we defeat the last one, we then hop up the crates on the upper left corner. I went freestyle on my cutting to cut at the huge fan vent which happens to be in our way.

As I finish doing this, Boris advises us that Dolzaev and his team should be in the factory and we have to find him.

We hop down to the lower level and start to go up the stairs in front of us. There is a camera on the wall at the top of the stairs. I wait until the camera is pointing away from us and I went directly underneath it. Stabbing it from its underbelly. But even after doing this we still catch the attention of the enemy. Dad takes care of the enemy while I grab my glock. I point to the one on the right, I close one my left eye and aim it at the camera with my psychic link of my right eye.

When I shoot, the bullet when through the camera's lens, causing the camera to shut down. Right before I could get the camera on the left, an enemy comes at me. All I did is use the butt of my glock to do the same thing with the left camera.

After the last camera is shut down, we then head to the left corner of the room. I hit the top button with the butt of my glock and when the door opens, I put my glock back into its holder on my right thigh.

Once the door is completely open, we head left to go up and then turned right. Which leads us to a set of stairs, so we went up them and another set of stairs. After the second set of stairs, it leads us to a platform. As we get onto the platform the lady from before is on the other side of the platform with her back to us.

"I was wondering when you'd both came... Jack the Ripper, Lavender-eyed Nightmare." She said to us, still with her back to us.

"No one calls me that anymore. Dolzaev. Where is he?" Dad asks her.

The lady clicks her tongue, like we are kids who did something she didn't like.

"I can show you both a better time than that crusty old bear." She tells us.

"You're in charge here?" I ask her.

The lady then turns around and steps with her right foot in front of her left, like she is a model strutting down the catwalk.

"I am 'Mistral'—the Cold Wind of France. And you...your reputations precedes you both. Liberians, but white as snow... Natural-born killers, even as children..." She says to us.

"That was a long time ago." Dad says to her.

"I was born in Algeria myself, you know. I'm only half French." She says.

"And?" We both say at the same time.

"We had our own civil war in the 90s. So you both see? Cut from the same cloth, you two and I." She says in a matter of fact tone.

"You don't know us." I said back with a little of hint of sassiness in my voice.

"I lost my whole family, everything..." She said as we both look down in sadness.

"But I butchered those f@%#$&s. My family's killers. That's when I realized...I am a killer, too. And a good one at that. I slaughtered dozens in Iraq, in Afghanistan...I found my calling." She says to us with pride in her tone.

My hands tighten into fists, causing my right hand to go white. I notice dad sees this too. We both raise our swords and point the blade at her, dad telling her, "Proud of that, are you?"

"What happened, happened. To be honest, I found it quite dull." She says, while unstrapping her Velcro on her outfit, letting it fall to the ground.

She then steps out of the outfit like it is just dirt on the ground.

"My enemies fell like domino, one after another. Not once did I feel threatened. I was adrift...without challenge...without purpose...At times, I even envied my prey. At least they had a cause to die for. And then...I met him." She tells us.

At the last word is said, one of those little metal gear type creatures, with three arms, comes out and jumps at us. Dad swings at it to block the attack.

"Who?" We both ask at the same time.

As we get into our fighting positions.

"And I knew what I'd been missing, " She bends down to the creature and pets it, "His ideals gave my life meaning. Ideals Jack, Nightmare. What are yours?" She asks us.

I answer with, "I...protect those who can't do it for themselves and give others a reason to have a future." Dad answers with, "I...protect the weak and my family."

All Mistral does is laugh at our answers, while grabbing the little metal gear into her hands, lifting it up, then putting her left foot on top of its third hand. She then pulls on the creature until the limbs come off of it.

"Still...so naïve." She tells us.

"And if we must kill to protect them...then so be it." Dad says while we raise our arms with our swords in our hand.

Mistral then starts swinging the arm in her right hand. Walking to the creature, stepping on it then crushing it in half.

"It seems we have less in common than I thought." She tells us.

Raiden's POV:

"We'll take that as a compliment." Marie says for the both of us.

"If you kill for both of your ideals, then surely you are both ready to die for them!" She says as she connects the two arms together.

Then all of the sudden a lot of those little metal gears come out and jump at her. Tearing limbs from each other in order to connect those limbs to her body. While they are doing this she keeps on yelping in pain. Then she connects another set of the two together with the other two she already has.

While Mistral is doing this I notice in my peripheral vision Marie grabbing her iPod again and changes the song to, "A Stranger I Remain." Then puts it back into her pouch.

Once all the connections are done, all the little metal gears start falling to the ground. And her eyes went red like mine when I go Ripper mode.

We get into our combat stances and my visor went over my eyes.

Then all of a sudden one of the hands attached to her body, grabs a little knife and starts handing it to all the other hands on her right side to the left side, until it went to the hand in her 4 arm staff, L'Etranger.

"Come. Mon gars!" She taunts us.

As we came at her a few more of those little metal gears come at us, but Marie takes care of them while I handle with Mistral. All the attacks I try to land on her, she blocks with L'Etranger. But I am able to land a few hits on her.

"Try and follow." She tells me, while she did a huge one hit attack.

I am able to dodge it. But more of those metal gears comes out and tries to attack me. So I tell Marie to switch opponents and she agrees immediately.

I am attacking the little metal gears. I notice Marie is a lot faster than Mistral and lands a lot more hits than I am able to. But then all of a sudden Mistral is able to make L'Etranger become more flexible and it becomes a whip.

Marie is able to get out of it's grip in about ten seconds and then get out of the way of an attack which was aimed for her head. Marie is then able to do some of the moves I have taught her and some I didn't remember teaching her.

I run to Marie's aid and block an attack, which would have cut her head off, with my sword. But Marie blocks the next attack. Then L'Etranger went into the whip form again and it grabs my leg. It slows down a little and I grab Marie's hand.

After I did this Mistral spins us around a few times before releasing us. Causing us to go flying to a huge metal pipe.

Marie gets behind me, for there wasn't enough room for the both of us to be side by side at the moment. So she switches out her weapons. This way she doesn't get in the way and get hit by me.

"Is that any way to treat a lady?" She taunts us.

'Does she even notice Marie is a lady too?' I question to myself.

Mistral then starts hitting me with L'Etranger which again changes into a whip. I block the hits and she jumps over me. And gets in between Marie and I, but flips over Marie. I did the same thing in order to keep Marie safe and away from the weapon of Mistral's.

I am able to block a few more attacks, before free styling some hits. But again a few more metal gears come and Marie takes care of them. Mistral tells us to both die and the fact that this battle is pointless. She keeps up the attacks with her weapon, L'Etranger, being a whip and again I try to block all of the attacks, but there are a few I couldn't block in time.

After a few more hits from me, Mistral then breaks the huge pipe we all are standing on in half. Marie jumps onto my back and I start acrobatic jump off the pipe we are standing on. As each piece of the pipe falls I would ninja jump to the next one, until we land on another platform.

Once we get onto the platform, Marie jumps off my back and again switches her weapons, now that we have enough room to work side-by-side. Mistral is in front of us with her L'Etranger stuck on the ground and her leaning on it.

"This ends now!" Mistral yells to us.

Callista's POV:

'I couldn't agree more.' I say in my head.

So we run at each other and I start swiping at her. She dodges a few, but I hit her about six times before dad comes in. He starts getting her attention more on him than on me, so I went behind her and start hitting her in the back.

We kept this up, but there are a few times where she is able to get a few hits on me. So I decide to attack a few of the small metal gears to gain some repair back to my limbs. And I go back to helping dad on trying to defeat Mistral.

"Too slow. I will rip you both apart!" She says to us.

'Oh really. Let's see about that." I think to myself.

She tries to spin dash attack us but we are able to dodge the attack with ease. We hit her a few more times until dad gets in front of me again. He blocks a move she tried to hit me. Dad moves in a little and hits her with his own fist.

She does a backflip and tells us, "Don't fuck with me, boy and girl!"

Dad runs away from her and she follows him. I quickly grab my glock and wait until dad has gotten out of the way. Once he does get out of the way, I shoot my last bullet in my magazine and this lone bullet, along with her L'Etranger went into a liquid nitrogen tank behind her. Causing her to instantly freeze with the cold weather around us. While in mid-air dad does a few cuts, but I did the final blow from behind. There is an explosion after we did all of this.

Then all of a sudden we get a call similar to when we beat the dog prototype. But this time it is between Mistral and Dolzaev.

"Mistral. Report! Your vitals are dropping!" Dolzaev's voice comes in first.

"I lost...So this is how they felt..." Mistral answers back.

"What?" Dolzaev questions.

"...dying...for a cause..." She answers back.

"Wait. No...hold on!" He starts to freak out.

"I am sorry. They were too...much..." She tells him.

"I do not need apology, I need you alive!" He answers back

"But I know...you will never fall..." She says.

"What...What is this talk about?" He says in a confused voice.

"Je t'aime...de tout mon coeur." She says with her last breath.

"'Je t'aime'? Mistral...You never..." He says and it sounds like he is close to crying.

Dad then grabs the walkie talkie. "She's not talking to you, idiot." He and I tell Dolzaev.

"You! You both killed her! Yob tvoyu mat! Murders!" Dolzaev answers back.

"That's rich, coming from you. It's over Dolzaev. Surrender." I tell him.

Dolzaev then just laughs at us. "Ah ty tupoi sukin syn." He tells us.

"Translation?" Dad asks him.

"Why would I surrender? We are exactly where I want." He tells us.

"Crap..." Dad says out loud.

We both start running to the railing.

"Built with Russia money, to make Russia money. It is no plant for Abkhaz—It is their prison!" He tells us over the walkie talkie.

Dad and I look a little closer and see Dolzaev is on the clear top of the middle big sphere like tank. He pushes off his jacket with a button in his left hand.

"But now...They will be free!" He says as he presses the button with his thumb.

Causing the whole sphere tank to blow up. The whole sound wave from the blast cause us to be push back. Dad grabs me and puts me in front of him. So he can take the brunt of the hit as we hit the wall behind us. As we hit the wall, we cause it to crack and fall a little on us.

"Dam...Crazy SOB." Dad says and I want to say the same thing but I have gotten the wind knocked out of my lungs.

"Raiden, Lavender-eyed?! Raiden, Lavender-eyed, what happened?!" Boris's screen comes up and is asking us frantically.

"B#$%^&d blew himself up..." I say, once I get the proper amount of air back into my lungs.

"I see...Time to get both of you out of there. We're sending a helicopter. Secure an LZ." He tells us.

"Understood..." We both say to him as we look at the damage that the explosion causes.
