Chapter 1: The Beauties Meet Their Beasts
CH01_001_VAMP
[Narrating] The Beauty and Beast Corps. A special unit being organized to become an unstoppable fighting force that was created from the remains of four women's shattered minds. Their emotional instability would be channeled to make them into killing machines. The first to come into our possession was from a small village in a remote area of Siberia. From what could be gathered, B01 as we called her then, was a young mother. Insurgents came to recruit the men of her village, but things went terribly wrong when they refused. All the women were raped and then murdered. This one, was the last. She was made to watch in horror as her home was destroyed and family was slaughtered, even her young child. Her tears were endless that night as they tortured her. It's said that wolves came to feed on the corpses, but instead curled themselves around her, keeping her alive. It wasn't until a few days later she was found by the local military. About a year afterward, Liquid took notice of her and the premise of the B&B Unit was solidified in his mind.[End Narration]
CH01_002_CRYING
W-what...? Don't touch me! What...what happened to my family? No...why did I live? No, leave me alone! Please, where is...No! My baby...is dead... ? Blood...there was so much blood...I-I can't...no...I must join them...please I want to die! Those men...they...they took them from me...I want to be like them. Cold, and dead...Should have left me out there, I wanted to just die! Don't touch me!
CH01_003_VAMP
[Narrating] He sought out to find others like her. The second was from a small fishing town in Scandinavia known simply as the Devil's Village that mainly caught octopus. Unfortunately for them, there was a cult that felt the village was corrupted from "the devil's fish". Soon, this cult launched an attack on the village, only a few were left alive. They dubbed our B02 the Devil's child and made her torture and kill the remaining survivors. They even forced her to laugh as she preformed these horrors. After a time, she even began to enjoy it, and saw the blood of her family and friends as black just like octopus ink. [End Narration]
CH01_004_LAUGHING
[laughing] I told you already, I killed them. My family, my friends all dead by MY hand. I laughed as I did it. Why not? To watch their faces twist in pain and torment as I choked and cut the life from them, it was purely hysterical! Those men didn't make me do anything, though they did force me at first. They forced me to laugh, but...I wanted to kill them. If you take me, can I kill more? I want to watch people suffer!
CH01_005_VAMP
[Narrating] The third was originally from a territory in Indonesia known as Aceh. As a small child, she was captured by war weary soldiers. They trapped her in a cage with other children and everyday they would be beaten. Eventually, the soldiers grew tired of this ritual and abandoned them. Ravens feasted upon the flesh of the other children, yet when they came at last for her, they managed to break her bonds. Rage filled her mind, body, and soul as she tore apart the poor creatures. However, it did not end there. She caught up with her tormentors, killed them and even their new victims, cawing all the while. By the time she was found, B03, she was just a rabid animal begging to be gunned down in her viciousness. Though, easily tamed when put up against something she could not win against. [End Narration]
CH01_006_RAGING
I hate you! I hate you and you and you! I hate everyone! Everything! Die! Die! Let me go! Leave me alone! I hate! I hate! When I get my hands on you, I'll pluck out your eyes and rip out all your insides! You will all die! Die, die, die! [caw]
CH01_007_VAMP
[Narrating] The final one was being brought in today. She was from a small village in South America that had been burned to the ground. In order to escape the death squads hunting her, she hid in a dark basement. Later, she would discover this was a dumping ground for the corpses of the torture chamber next door. Due to the heavy military presence, she could not leave her little room and was forced to listen to the screams of the tortured. She was there for what must have been several weeks, keeping herself hydrated using a puddle of dirty water that pooled in the corner of the room. She didn't starve, but only because she fed from the corpses of the men down there. [End Narration]
CH01_008_SCREAMING
[growls] The mantis says don't touch my food. I worked hard for my food. Didn't I, mantis? Didn't I?
CH01_009_VAMP
[Narrating]At last, we could begin. As I entered into the training room today, I saw my three beauties each within their element. B02 irritating B03 into her fits of rage while B01 sniffled in the corner. I had my hands placed on the new child's shoulder, who even at this very moment was gnawing on an arm. When the guards tried to take it from her, she killed them. She'd tried it once with me, but she learned better than to try again. I don't die. [End Narration]
Greetings, my beauties. I've brought someone new to play.
CH01_010_RAGING
Could you shut up for just one second?! Can't you see they've brought us a 'visitor'?
CH01_011_LAUGHING
[giggles]
CH01_012_RAGING
Oh! I swear, I'm going to kill you!
CH01_013_VAMP
Patience, B03. There'll always be time for killing later. Now, the last piece of the puzzle, your leader. This is Screaming Mantis.
CH01_014_RAGING
She gets a name! I want a name! B01! Why don't we have names?
CH01_015_LAUGHING
What! That's a cool name! I want a cool name too! B02 sounds more like a machine!
CH01_016_CRYING
It's not a true name, but then again why would we even deserve real names?
CH01_017_VAMP
Numbers will not strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.
[Narrating] I placed my hand on B03's head. [End Narration]
Raging Raven.
[Narrating] Then, B02 [End Narration]
Laughing Octopus.
[Narrating] And lastly, I turned to B01 [End Narration]
Crying Wolf.
[Narrating] Suddenly, Screaming Mantis dropped the arm she'd been chewing on and rushed over to hug her. It seemed that the little one preferred this woman more than 'food'. How strange, yet somehow touching. [End Narration]
CH01_018_SCREAMING
Sisters. We're all sisters. Ruled by what we are.
CH01_019_VAMP
Hm... and what rules you, my beauties?
CH01_020_RAGING
RAGE!
CH01_021_LAUGHING
Laughter! [giggles]
CH01_022_CRYING
Sad, so very sad.
CH01_023_SCREAMING
Screams. The mantis says their screams.
CH01_024_VAMP
Very good.
[Narrating] On the balcony overlooking the room entered our leader, Liquid Ocelot. He looked over the girls with what I knew was satisfaction. [End Narration]
CH01_025_LIQUID
Ladies, Welcome. You all have been assembled into this unit, to become my personal femme fatale fighting force. I have outfitted each of you a mechanical suit which will solidify your membership. Vamp, will go over how each suit functions and inform you of your current position in Outer Haven. I have left Vamp in charge of your growth, and in charge of your care. You will see him for any need you might have. Now ladies, if you will excuse me, I must leave. Someone will be coming to visit you shortly to examine your health.
CH01_026_VAMP
Come, I have something to show you.
[Narrating] I led them over to a dim portion of the room. It lit up revealing four suits and accessories to complete their transformation. I came to the first container. [End Narration]
This is the Snake Arm Combat Helmet and it will give you what you've longed for Laughing Octopus, your four missing limbs.
CH01_027_LAUGHING
[giggles]
CH01_028_VAMP
With this suit, you'll head the Private Military Corporation, Pieuvre Armament. Here you will be trained in how to use all eight of your limbs not only efficiently, but effectively as well. You'll be able to climb walls, use advanced stealth technology, stab with your tentacles, and even electrocute those that would stand in your way. Enjoy it, Laughing. You've earned it.
[Narrating] I put my arm around Raging Raven, leading her to the next piece of equipment. [End Narration]
This is a military grade Slider flight suit. You'll gain your wings with this, and learn how to fly or when necessary spy using cameras on these wings. Your rage will become your weapon, your blood, your life. With that life you will command the Private Military Corporation Raven Sword into battle. I do not feel you're enough on your own. For now, your wings are out of your grasp. Work harder.
CH01_029_RAGING
What? That's not fair! Laughing can, why can't I?!
CH01_030_VAMP
[Narrating] I ignored her, and stepped up to the suit that was for Crying Wolf, beckoning her over to me. I could see her eyes widen at the sight of her becoming the creature that was a symbol of her survival. [End Narration]
Crying Wolf, you will have to learn how to walk on all fours with this suit. This quadruped suit will provide speed and strength to you as you move in formation with your Private Military Corporation, Werewolf. Inside the suit all your senses will be amplified. Especially your sense of smell, even in the harshest of conditions you will be able to smell the enemy. Harness your sorrow and tears. Turn them into an outward show of pain. Make others feel what you feel. Because of your progress, you may begin to work with your suit.
[Narrating] And then I moved to the last suit, and placed my hands on Screaming Mantis' shoulders. She glared at me and went back to hugging Crying Wolf as though she were her mother.[End Narration]
No matter. In time, you will be ready.
CH01_031_NAOMI
Vamp, I'm here to get ...um...
CH01_032_VAMP
Raging Raven, correct?
CH01_033_NAOMI
Yes, that's the one...She's to receive a physical and nanomachines. Now, come along with me Raging...Raven.
CH01_034_VAMP
[Narrating] Dr. Naomi Hunter, the Leader in current Nanotechnology and Gene therapy, is here to help these girls regulate their emotions. She is always dressed in her white lab coat with her hair pulled back. Her stride a calculated, graceful gate that only a scientist could have. Two men flanked her, most likely to contain these girls should they resist coming with her. Of course, they would be completely worthless against them, but if it made the good doctor feel better who was I to argue. Guards are disposable anyway. In the past, Crying Wolf and Laughing Octopus never needed to be handled with force. They were too easily controlled with just words. However, I was sure these two, Raging Raven and Screaming Mantis, might fight against working with the good doctor. Raging Raven proved me right with a glare.[End Narration]
CH01_035_RAGING
And why should I come with you?
CH01_036_NAOMI
I am here to make sure you do not cause harm to yourself or others around you. I'm also going to make sure you are very healthy, as I know you've been through a terrible ordeal. Are you ready to go?
CH01_037_RAGING
No. Why would I go with a bitch like you?
CH01_038_NAOMI
I see. Orderlies, may I have you sedate Ms...Raven?
CH01_039_RAGING
Stay away from me! I'll kill you! I'll kill all of you!
CH01_040_VAMP
[Narrating] I watched silently as Raging Raven launched herself at the men that were making their way towards her. She landed on one and began to claw at him. When the other came to try to save his comrade, she startled him with an ear piercing caw. She then leapt on him embedding her sharp nails into his eyes and killing him. Dr. Hunter pulled the alarm. More guards would be coming. For now, I'd let her play. In the end, it took six of them just to hold her down. This had gotten the attention of Screaming Mantis, who already showed much attachment for her new found "sisters".[End Narration]
CH01_041_SCREAMING
No! You can't do this! You can't do this to her!
CH01_042_CRYING
Calm, child. Everything will be alright, you'll see.
CH01_043_SCREAMING
They're hurting her for being her. How is that all right?
CH01_044_CRYING
She's going to feel much better once she returns, I know. I've gone through it and so has Laughing Octopus.
CH01_045_LAUGHING
It's just a few tiny shots! [giggle] It'll only pinch a little then it's ALL over.
CH01_046_VAMP
[Narrating] The child glared at the good doctor. [End Narration]
CH01_047_SCREAMING
Promise? Do you promise?
CH01_048_NAOMI
I...Yes. I promise you. Ms. Raven will return unharmed.
CH01_049_SCREAMING
Good. You better.
CH01_050_VAMP
[Narrating] The guards carried out the now sedated Raging Raven and soon I was left alone with the trio. [End Narration]
Crying Wolf, Laughing Octopus, get into your suits. I think it's time for a test run.
A/N: This is a re imagining of the original B&B's from MGS4. The beauties are changed since we either A. didn't agree with how they were written or B. didn't like how they were executed within the story. This story will encompass their reasons for being the way they are.
Crying Wolf: is now Russian and more empathetic as we both found that she wasn't well written originally.
Screaming Mantis: is now much younger and around the age of 12-13
Laughing Octopus: is overall the same as we had no problem with how she was written.
Raging Raven: is again overall the same but younger than within the game.
