My Little Metal Gear Rising

Prologue

Jack, once a child soldier turned Goverment agent, has been on many dangerous missions. Search and Retrieve, Assassinations, Intel Retrieval. After meeting his girlfriend, Rosemary, Jack began to live a newer, happier, life.

However, his past as a child soldier, continued to haunt him. At the age of ten, he had already killed over a dozen people. Some of them innocent. Because of this, and the fact that he actually began to enjoy it, he took on the nickname “Jack the Ripper.”
At some point, he was sent on a mission to rescue the United States President from a group of terrorists. The location was a large oil facility known as Big Chell. For this mission Jack was given the codename, Raiden.

It was there that he met the Legendary Solid Snake. With Snake’s help Raiden was able to uncover the existence of the Patriots, a group of AI Programs that control the country, it’s military, and it’s economy.

After the Big Chell incident, Raiden was captured by the Patriots. They mutilated him, and gave him cybernetic enhancements. Raiden escaped the Patriot’s facility, and went on a journey of self discovery. He received training in both the Samurai and Ninja arts along the way.

Almost a decade later, he aided Solid Snake in taking down the Patriots, and freeing the country from their control. Raiden, having been reunited with his girlfriend, married Rosemary and started a family of his own.

To provide for his family, Raiden joined Maverick, a PMC (Private Military Company) that deals with protecting politicians, and bringing down terrorist groups. However, after a job went south, Raiden lost his left eye, his left arm, and the client he was suppose to be protecting.

Raiden was then outfitted with a new, more powerful cybernetic body, and went on a hunt for those responsible for his failure……

However, within that story, Raiden found himself in a very interesting situation. A new mission, to save another political leader. But this is one mission, that Raiden will never forget.

Raiden opened his eyes, and found himself in a different location then where he was. He was lying down on a bed, that was a little too big for him. As he looked around, he noticed the walls were made out of wood. Next to him was a round window. It was still dark out, but he could see the hint of the morning sun coming over the horizon.
Raiden sat up and noticed the bed he was sitting on had stars and moons decorated on the quilt. On the floor was a small basket, the type a dog or cat would usually sleep in.
As Raiden looked around, he realized he was in a loft. A small bedroom above the bottom floors. He could see the room below. It was somewhat round, with bookshelves against the walls, and a round rug on the floor. There was also a entrance way for an outside balcony.

“What the hell? Where am I?” Raiden quietly said to himself. The last thing he remembered was being in battle. One of the Cyborg Soldiers he was fighting threw a flash grenade at him, and next thing he knew he was waking up in this bizarre place.
His train of thought was interrupted by the sound of someone humming. Raiden quickly nodded his head, and two triangular metal plates emerged from the sides of his head, and closed on his face to form a mask. This was Raiden’s Augment Mode, which allows him to see enemies hidden from normal view. Raiden looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone. He turned off his Augment Mode, and jumped down from the loft.

He reach behind his back and drew his high frequency vibrating sword, and noticed that the humming was coming from a nearby flight of stairs. Raiden pressed his back against the wall next to the stairs, and waited.
The humming grew louder, as Raiden gripped his sword firmly in his hand. He wasn’t going to kill this opponent. Not until he had some answers. Finally the mysterious someone emerged.

The sight of this creature caused Raiden to stop in his tracks. He was frozen with shock, surprise, and wonder.

It appeared to be a small horse. It had the wings of a Pegasus, and the horn of a Unicorn. It’s coat was purple, with a maroon six pointed star on each flank. It’s mane and tail were dark purple, with a single strip of pink.

(WHAT THE HELL!!???) Raiden thought to himself.

The horse looked up at the loft, and realized no one was up there. It turned around and saw Raiden, who was still frozen with wonder.

“ACK!” It exclaimed. It seemed startled. “Oh good, your awake.”

(OH MY GOD IT TALKED) Raiden thought.

“Allow me to introduce myself,” The Pony said. “my name is Twilight Sparkle.”

Part 1 Tool for Justice

After about five whole minutes of staring at this thing, Raiden lowered his sword. He was a little dumbfounded, but was still able to talk.

“S…Sorry about that.” He said. “Your appearance took me by surprise. I’ve never had a dream this vivid before. Only nightmares.”

Twilight looked at him curiously. She had met humans before, but none that look anything like the man before her. His dark metallic body, very sharp sword, white spiky hair, an artificial lower jaw, and a bandage around his left eye.

Twilight shook herself from her daze and said. “Sorry, but I could say the same about you. And I can assure you that this is not a dream.”

Raiden’s eye went wide. “Then what is it then? Some kind of VR Program? Did World Martial capture me? Who do you work for?” He said in a threatening voice.

“Please, calm down Mister…?”

“Raiden!”

“Raiden. I’m not sure what all that stuff is, but this place, it’s actually a separate dimension.” Twilight explained.

“A…Separate dimension?”

“Yes. I pulled you from your world into mine. This actually isn't the first time I've done that spell…”

Raiden interrupted her. “I don’t know how you did it, but send me back right now! You interrupted me during a very important Anti-Terrorist mission.”

Twilight’s heart sank a bit. “Yes, of coarse. But can you please hear me out first?”

“I don’t have time for this!” Raiden shouted. “Hang on a second.” He pressed his hand to his ear, and began calling out the names of his comrades. “Boris. Can you hear me? Boris! Courtney? Anyone?!”

All Raiden could get was static.

“They can’t hear you here, and yes you do have time. When I send you back, I will send you to the exact time and location that you were in. It will be as if you never left.”

Raiden thought about it. He was there and all. He might as well see what she had to say. Raiden took a deep breath and sheathed his sword, to Twilight’s relief.

“Fine.” He said.

“Oh good. Can I get you some tea?”

“Sure. Do you have a straw?” Raiden said, as he sat down on the floor.

“Sure.” Twilight said as she trotted downstairs. Raiden sat down on the floor, and thought about his situation.

Twilight came back up from the kitchen downstairs. The tray and tea set she was carrying was floating in mid air, with a pink aura around Twilight’s Horn, as well as the tea set.

Raiden eye went wide when he saw that.

“Electro-Magnetism?” He asked.

Twilight laid down across from Raiden, with her legs folded under her. She placed the tray between them, and said. “If your talking about my levitation spell, its Magic.”

“Magic?” Raiden said, “You mean not simple parlor tricks.”

“You could say that.” Twilight said. “All Unicorns can do it.”

“I see.” Raiden said before he picked up a cup of tea, placed a straw in it, and took a sip.

“So…what is it that you want from me?” He said.

Twilight thought about how she put this, and said. “Well for starters, I’ll tell you about this place. This is the Land of Equestria. The Land of Ponies. Normal Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi, all live here happily and in harmony.

“I am an Alicorn. A combination of all three, and reserved for royalty.”

“Royalty?” Raiden asked.

“Yes, Princesses. I only just became a Princess a while ago. So I’m still new to it. Anyway, my teacher is the Monarch of Equestria, Princess Celestia. She is wise, powerful, and beloved by all of her subjects. But, only a few nights ago…she was kidnapped.”

Raiden’s eyes widened a bit.

“We have to get her back.” Twilight continued. “The whole situation has been kept secret. Only a few Ponies in all of Equestria know about it. If the general public found out, they would panic. We already have a plan, but we needed somepony strong enough, and skilled enough. But there is no pony like that in Equestria. Nothing like this as ever happened before. So…I tried an outside source.”

“That would be me I take it.” Raiden said.

“Yes. I used a spell to summon a great warrior. And it turned out to be you.”

Raiden had a question. “Wait a minute. How did you even know about humans in the first place? If this is a separate dimension, how would you know about them?

“Well, they’re mentioned in some of my books. Besides, you’re not the first human I’ve met. It’s a long story, and it involves a magic mirror.

“I see.” Raiden said.

“So will you help?”

Raiden closed his eyes for a moment. He stood up, and walked over to the nearby balcony.

“Wait,” Twilight called out. “Where are you going?”

“I need some air.” Raiden said as he opened the door and stepped out on the balcony.

Twilight immediately ran over to him. “If anypony sees you, they’ll know something’s up. Please don’t go.”

“Trust me.” Raiden said. “They won’t see me.”

Raiden jumped off the balcony, and vanished into the night.

“I hope I didn’t upset him.” Twilight said, as she watched the sunrise.

Only about an hour passed when Raiden left Twilight’s library. He stood in a tree on the outskirts of town. This place was the most beautiful he had ever seen. Lush trees, cottages, houses, and small buildings. Happy towns folk just enjoying their day.

“This world,” Raiden said to himself. “it’s as if it’s been completely untouched by the fires of war.”

He waved his hand about a foot in front of his face, and a holographic square appeared.
This was Raiden’s scope. It’s was a holographic program that allowed him to see far distances.

Raiden panned it to the right, and zoomed in on the farm in the distance. He saw an orange Pony pulling a cart of apples, with a small yellow Filly with a red bow, next to her.
He then looked at the town square. Raiden could see dozens of Ponies, just out enjoying the day, helping each other, like they didn’t have a worry in the world.

Such a beautiful world, no doubt the work of a strong leadership. A leader that’s not corrupted by power, or money. One that sees the big picture, and cares deeply for the well being of its citizens. Wishes for them to be happy. A people that benefits from their government, and vies versa. Two sided, instead of one.

Raiden’s train of though was interrupted when he caught a glimpse of Twilight running through the town. Obviously she was looking for him.

Raiden pulled out his sword, and used it’s blade to reflect the sunlight.

Twilight ran desperately through the streets of Ponyville.

“Where did he go?” She said quietly to herself.

Suddenly, she saw a light coming from one of the trees in the nearby forest. She squinted her eyes, and realized it was Raiden sitting in a tree.

Twilight closed her eyes as her horn began to glow. She then vanished in burst of light.

Raiden put his sword away, as Twilight appeared next to him.

“What were you think…?!” She began to say, before accidentally slipping off the branch.
Raiden reached out, and gently grabbed her by the back of the neck. He then lifted her back on the branch.

“I take it those wings of yours are just for show.” Raiden said with a smile.

“I guess I’m not use to them yet.” Twilight said. “I only just got them a few weeks ago. Anyway, what were you thinking? Didn’t I tell you your presence here is suppose to be top secret? Not even my closest friends know about you.”

Raiden smiled and said. “Sorry, I just wanted to take a look around and collect my thoughts. Don’t worry, no one saw me.”

Twilight sat down on the branch, next to Raiden, and said. “Yeah, sorry I yanked you into this. I didn’t mean to put so much on you so suddenly.”

“It’s alright.” Raiden said. “So this ‘Princess Celestia’ you mentioned. What’s she like.”

Twilight lowered her head a bit, and said. “For over a thousand years, Princess Celestia has ruled over Equestria. She’s kind, wise, powerful, and one of the most charismatic Ponies I’ve ever met. I’ve known her since I was a filly, and she taught me everything I know about magic. It’s thanks to her that Equestria has prospered for so many centuries.”

Raiden interrupted her. “All of the traits you mentioned, I can see in the faces of the Ponies of this town. To ensure the safety, prosperity, and happiness of her subjects. That is the mark of a true leader. I doubt many of the accomplishments of this nation would not have been possible without her.”

“Yes exactly!” Twilight exclaimed.

“I knew someone like that once. But he was killed by terrorists, and on my watch no less.”

“Raiden?”

“I’ll help you, Twilight. Not just for your sake, but for my own redemption as well.”

Raiden pulled out his sword, and held it in front of him. Twilight admired the brilliant electricity jumping off the blade. As if the lightning itself was dancing.

“This sword, is my Tool of Justice. I fight for those who need my help. And your Princess is a leader worth helping.”

“Great!” Twilight said with a big smile. “Thank you so much.”

Raiden put his sword away, and said. “So where do we start?”

“I need to take you to Canterlot Castle. You need to speak with Celestia’s sister, Princess Luna.”

“Alright, how do we get there?”

“Well, I’ve never done a jump this far before. But since becoming a Princess, my powers should have been amplified. Let’s give it a try.”

“Wait, what do you me…?”

And in a flash of light, both of them were gone.
