The war has been going on for so many years. During those years you've witnessed nothing, but terror and bloodshed. The scared and weak boy you once were is dead. All that remains of you is "Jack the Ripper". You're merely 13 years old and yet many people have died by your hands.

Another battle has been won and you're the only child soldier left standing yet again. Snake has joined you and you both take a walk around the ruins of the decimated town, as the rain pours down.

Snake: Jack my boy, you continue to impress me. I honestly didn't think you'd survive this battle.

(Y/N): Howitzers hit us pretty hard old man, but it's not enough to stop me.

Snake: So i've heard. Stories about you have spread quite fast amongst the others. I believe its about time that i gave you this for your efforts.

Snake pulls a sword out of his cloak and hands it over to you. He grabs the rifle out of your hands and inspects it.

(Y/N): What the hell is this?

Snake: It's called a "Katana" Jack

Snake: It's called a "Katana" Jack. Consider it a gift. Go on give it a few swings.

You do as he says and swing the blade around a couple times. Snake continues to inspect your weapon.

Snake: Hmm....You've kept this rifle in great condition Jack. I expect no less from you.

(Y/N): You seriously expect me to lug this thing around? You do know this isn't feudal Japan right? I'm pretty sure someone with a sword doesn't stand a chance against someone with a gun.

Snake: A rifle can only take you so far. Once it's out of ammunition it becomes nothing more than a useless trinket. A blade never runs out of ammo. A gun could jam, but never a blade. Keep it well maintained if you wish to survive another day.

(Y/N): *Sigh* Whatever you say old man...

Snake finishes his inspection and returns the rifle to you. Suddenly a small squad of enemy soldiers pop out of nowhere and catch the both of you off guard! Snake gets in front of you and pulls out a twin pair of katanas and deflects all of the incoming rounds! You take down a couple soldiers with your rifle and watch Snake take down the rest with only his swords. The last soldier falls over and begs for his life. Snake ignores his please and slowly slits the man's throat. Snake has his back turned towards you. Deep down you still hate him for everything he's done. You point your rifle at the back of his head and put your finger on the trigger. You want to kill him here and now, but for some reason you can't do it. Your arms shake and your aim is thrown off.

Snake: Jack....When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it....I'll be waiting.

Timeskip Present

It's the day after the USJ attack. You lay in a hospital bed and have nightmares of the war. You are soon awoken by a thunderstorm outside. You take a look around the room and feel the bandages covering your body. Trying to get up only results in pain and you lay back down on the bed. It seems someone has left you flowers on the side of your bed along with a small radio playing music.

You stare at the ceiling and hold your aching head with the only arm you have left. The door to your room opens and you see Doktor walk in.

Doktor: R-Raiden you're awake! Are you feeling alright?

(Y/N): I feel like shit Dok. Thanks for asking.

Doktor: You might feel like that for a while thanks to the medicine.

(Y/N): Is everyone else alright?

Doktor: Don't worry, everyone else is safe. The villains failed in their mission and are being hunted down as we speak. I have some upgrades planned for you and you'll be back on your feet in no time. We've been asked to assist in hunting down the attackers.

(Y/N): Look's like i have more work to do.

Doktor: Not until you're out of this hospital Raiden. You need to take it easy for now and get plenty of rest.

(Y/N): Whatever you say Dok.

Someone starts knocking on the door and Doktor goes to answer it.

(Y/N): Who is it?

Doktor: Well it looks like you have more visitors. Come on in everyone.

You look and see some of your classmates walk in the room.

Kirishima: Hey bro! Good to see you're
finally up.

Uraraka: Raiden it's so good to see you!

(Y/N): Hey guys. Good to see you aren't dead.

Kirishima: It's all thanks to you bro! If it weren't for you, Bakugou and i would be goners! I totally owe you one man!

Iida: It's great to see you making progress in your recovery Raiden. I and many others are truly grateful for everything you've done.

Time flies as you and your classmates chat with one another. Eventually each one of them has to leave and the last one remaining is Izuku. You finally have enough strength to get out of bed and sit in a chair next to the window. You both watch the rain fall outside.

Izuku: Wow it is really pouring out there huh?

(Y/N): It sure is. Kind of peaceful too. I could sit here and watch it fall all day...

Izuku: You know...Ever since the exam, all you've done is help other people. You always made sure to get in front of people who are in danger or give them good advice when they need it.

(Y/N): I have to help those in need Midoryia. It's something i have to do. Who protects the weak when no one else will?

Izuku: You really are a hero Raiden. I can't wait to see you back at school. Well i guess i better get going. My mom might get worried if i'm gone for too long.

(Y/N): Better not keep her waiting then. I'll see you later.

Midoryia grabs his things and leaves the room. You look out into the city and continue to watch the rain fall.

(Y/N): Mom...Dad....I promise you....I will become a hero....I will protect the weak.....i promise......
