EPILOGUE: HEART-TO-HEART

Two Weeks Later...

Maverick Security Consulting Inc. Headquarters

Denver, Colorado: USA

Local Time (USA): 05:24 Hours

Raiden entered his Brother's Recovery Room, seeing that the Nanomachine Consoles were beeping in a Steady Pace, stabilizing them. His Brother was looking out the window, watching the Afternoon Skies. "Hey, Sora."

Sora heard his Brother's voice, turning in the direction. "Leo... Long time, no see, huh?"

"'Fraid so." He pulled up a seat. "Welcome to Denver, Colorado."

"America, huh? At first, I thought I was back Home."

"If you were, then everyone back Home would be shocked, you going to an Interview of why you "faked" your death, the list goes on." Raiden translated.

Sora looked at his Brother, seeing him with his Makeshift "Eyepatch" and Forehead Barcode. "What happened to you?"

"Same as you: Arm chopped off and Totaled Eye." Raiden responded. "Now a Partial Cyborg."

Sora looked at himself through a reflection. He was the same as his Brother, but mirrored in location. "So I'm a Partial Cyborg too..." He ripped off the Bandages on his Left Arm, seeing it was Metallic. "No... NO!" He smashed his Cyborg Arm into the Reflection.

"Sora..." Leo placed his palm onto his Brother's shoulder. "I suffered the same thing too. There's no need to do anything like this. I suffer, you suffer... It's our mistakes that costed us this."

Sora stopped his disbelief, looking at Raiden. "...you suffered... because of me?"

"Yes. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. That Night in Arkhangelsk sparked my Vengeance on you, increasing on every Causality I had: Blokhin, American Agent Sky Briggs, and African Prime Minister N'Mani. You, Zoe, and Alyssa sparked it too, but it never had a true effect on my Quest for Vengeance."

Sora looked at his Partial Cyborg Brother. "Link... about that Night."

"What about it?" Raiden pried.

"When you noticed that I- better yet, my Clone- responded to you strangely, I was abducted during our Radio Silence and replaced. Koshkin rigged it from that point on: my "Death" was all just to decommission you and send you to Vengeance so that you could be killed. When he found out that didn't fully do the Job, he sent Xenia to kill Blokhin, then killing the American Agent in Dubai; lastly the Staged Death of Zoe and Alyssa. Koshkin didn't plan to kill N'Mani, it was the CEO of Omegacorp."

Sora continued. "Project: Omega was right in front of us since the Arkhangelsk Incident. When the CEO found out that you had your Double-0 Status suspended, he changed Project: Omega's Goal so that he can turn you against our Family and Friends. I wanted to escape, but I was-"

"Injected with LENMs. I know." Sora nodded. "It's all my fault. If this hadn't happened, then I would be fine. This Quest for Vengeance was all for nothing."

"Don't blame yourself. Blame SMERSH and Omegacorp. They should be the ones that ought to be the Quest for Vengeance."

Link looked down. "Look... a lot has happened since your "Death" back Home. Dad was feeling down lately just like when Mom died, trying his best to keep me high in spirits. It didn't work on me, Sora. Everyone in School- and I mean the Girls- were crazy for us since our Song was performed, followed by an Explosion at School that left me a little crippled, then a Street Race the following night-"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold the Phone, stop the Clock! You said that you despise Street Racing!" Sora butted in.

"Can you PLEASE let me finish?! Anyway, the reason why is that Ghirahim kidnapped Zelda and planned to give her away to some asshole. I won, thanks to the Local Law Enforcement listening to me, and saved her. Then I earned an Exo/Supporting Skeleton Armor from Alan, helping me out until I was fully functional. Afterwards, I stayed in the Central African Republic for the whole Winter Break training their Army- and protecting the Prime Minister- with Maverick until the Incident happened. My duty was suspended five days after the incident, so I ran away from home two weeks after that. I turned to Maverick and signed up to be an Employee."

"And everything else led up to this." Sora concluded.

Raiden nodded. "I changed my appearance since I would be "wanted" and on the run from Home. Even my name to "Raiden"."

"So you were acting like Dad."

Raiden looked up. "Right. Now I'm following Dad's Legacy."

Before either of the Twins could speak, Link's Phone vibrated. "Hello?"

"Hey, Leon. You may want to check the News."

"Thanks, Zoe. ...Love you." He ended the Call, repeating what his Girlfriend reported.

"-And the World's all up in Arms as an unexpected Event charged through the Order. An Oil Rig in the South Terminian Sea has mysteriously exploded under unknown Circumstances. The Oil Rig, belonging to the Private Military Company, Omegacorp Enterprises, has plummeted some of their Stock Prices. The Company has sued Maverick Consulting for 50 Million Dollars as they claim that one of their own: the son of Hylian Banker and Royal Navy Commander James Bond; Link Leonardo Bond, had infiltrated the Complex and brought it down."

"Obviously a lie." The Brothers synchronized, then sinking in another Key Term. "WHAT?!"

"Maverick has defended that they had nothing to do with it, nor admitting that they have the 15 Year Old in their Company. They have set Evidence that Omegacorp had a hand in the Assassination of G-20, Central African Republic Prime Minister Tshepo N'Mani and claiming that they had hands on an Illegal Weapon: an Unmanned Metal Gear RAY. Omegacorp had objected that they never had any relation to the Incident or obtaining a War Machine, causing the PMCs to protest and spark a War. This War that the two have created is being called "World War III" by the General Public, not only of this Accusion, but of the restart of both the Anti-Intellgence and War Economies."

"Oh, great."

"Welcome to Hell: Part 2." Sora let his Head sink into the Pillow.

"President Michael Kennedy has called for a Declaration of Peace between the two Companies, but Omegacorp had refused to sign it. The Company had declared War on all Countries and States, creating Mass Panic on all Citizens. The President is still working on bringing the War down. More details will be on the 10:00 News."

"Farore above." Leon slammed the Back of his Head on the Wall.

Things took a turn for the Worse. It's going to be Hell on Earth again. After bin Laden, Peace is shattered once more and on a Global Scale.

WWI, WWII, the Cold War, War on Terror, all of those Wars on the World in the 20th and 21st Centuries, they're all going to look like Firecrackers than Atomic Nukes.

And out of all of them, he and Sora are going to be in ONE of them. If they- HE- announced that he was in that War, he'd be in History. But Raiden didn't want the Fame.

He wanted the World to be at Peace again. And he knows what to do in order to accomplish the Task he's been given. With Maverick being sued, he'll need their Technology and commence a Black Ops Mission under an Organization.

"Omegacorp wants Project: Omega to be done, we'll give them Hell itself."

Link234521: Well, looks like it's time for Operation: Revengeance to come to an end.

Link and Sora: WHAAAT?!

Link234521: Look, Operation: Revengeance was focused about Link's "Vengeance", so this event brought it to an end. Plus, Operation: Revengeance is a part of a Two-Part Prequel, so sit back. The Prequel's far from over.
