Chapter 12: Déjà vu
Raiden runs out of the room and comes to a corner. He looks over and sees nobody. He kneels down and puts his finger to his ear. He tries to remember what Meryl's frequency was. He starts from 140.00 all the way up. When he tries 140.15, he notices that he had found it. Meryl's voice comes over the Codec.
Meryl: Who is this?
Raiden: Don't worry. I'm gonna rescue you.
Meryl: Who are you first?
Raiden: Raiden, I'm with Snake along this mission.
Meryl: Raiden.oh, you're the one from the Big Shell seven months ago.
Raiden: Yeah, but I don' like to remember it that much. It was a horrific experience.
Meryl: As like the Shadow Moses incident is to me.
Raiden: Where are you? Are any of the enemies nearby?
Meryl: No, I'm locked in a cell. There's a surveillance camera in here. Where's Snake?
Raiden: He's all caught up right now. He to take care of some business with some genomes.
Meryl: Oh, I see he's still a killer.
Raiden: He only kills when he has to. He doesn't kill when he wants to. He told me somrhting like that seven months ago.
Meryl: Oh.I understand.
Raiden: Your father is also aboard Arsenal. Don't worry, he's fine though.
Meryl: My father? He died when he was a soldier a long time ago.
Raiden: You're saying that the Colonel isn't your father?
Meryl: Roy Campbell? No, he's my uncle.
Raiden: Well, never mind. I'm gonna rescue you. I'm having Mei Ling find out where you are right now.
Meryl: OK, please hurry, I know Ocelot's planning something.
End transmission. Raiden walks down the hallway and opens the door at the end. There is no one around. He contacts Mei Ling.
Raiden: Did you find out where she is?
Mei Ling: Almost . . . got it. From where you are, go down that hallway and turn to the left. Walk down there and you'll come to an elevator. Take the elevator to the hull. Once down there, walk down that hallway and you'll come to a torture room. Don't go in it though, take a left and you'll see a door. Open it and you'll enter the room where she is.
Raiden: Torture room . . . doesn't sound good. I was choked on a torture bed seven months ago by Solidus.
Mei Ling: Hey, you think you had it bad, Snake had an electric current run through his body one too many times on Shadow Moses Island.
Raiden: Ouch! Well, I gotta get moving.
End transmission. Raiden walks down the hallway, M9 in hand. When he opens the door, he hears a footstep behind him. He points his M9 instantly behind him to find nothing. He walks through without closing the door. He hears another footstep and fires 3 shots from his M9 into air, He hears the elevator entering the floor. As the door opens, he hears a voice from inside.
Liquid: Trying to interfere with our plans, I see.
Raiden turns around to see Liquid, armed with a FAMAS.
Raiden: Liquid!
Liquid: Little boy, you know how large this ship is? The odds of you getting out alive with all the genomes and tengu are slim to none.
Raiden: Well the odds of you getting away with the plan of yours is just plain none.
Liquid: I don't care about our odds. You, Snake, Solidus, and the Patriots' henchmen will all die here.
Raiden: But Snake said you three mad an alliance.
Liquid: Hahaha, what gullible brothers. They'll fall for anything I tell you. By the way they all don't know about my plan yet.
Raiden: And what plan would that be? Liquid: Hahaha. I'll tell you only if you defeat me!
Liquid points his FAMAS at Raiden, Before he can shoot, A ninja dashes down the hallway and knocks his FAMAS away by using his blade. Raiden thinks to himself, "Agggghhh, this better not be another recreation of Shadow Moses." Liquid stares at the ninja in shock.
Liquid: You! I killed you 4 years ago. Why are you here?
Ninja: . . .
Liquid: Can't tell me then. OK. I'll just have to kill you again.
Liquid tries to do a roundhouse kick, but the ninja blocks it with his arm and knocks out Liquid with the blunt edge of his blade. He picks up Liquid and throws him over his shoulder. Before he dashes away, he points his blade at Raiden. Raiden stares in shock as the ninja leaves. End of chapter.
