"Well, that was....hard.." those were the first words Raiden uttered as he lay down on the ground. His body and injury had heeled but the amount of energy he had used that day was a bit too much. In fact. Raiden knew that he wouldn't be moving for about a solid week
"Raiden !!!!!!!" Screamed Kori as she jumped on him to hug him "Don't squeeze too tight I'm injured!" As Raiden spoke. Kori didn't say anything and started to cry on his chest whilst saying"I thought I had lost you..I... I couldn't... I "
"It's okay Kori. I'm sorry" Quickly joining the two Raven hugged Raiden as well. She kept hugging him in silence. Deep down she was devastated. Believing that he only got hurt and almost died because of her. Because she brought him here
"Raven... you are free now, you Will never have to live scared from now on. So don't be harsh on yourself. I love you. And I would go through all of this again and again for you"
Raven remained silent. But her heart was at ease when she looked at him and said "I love you too Raiden. And thank you for everything"
"Such a beautiful display of youthful love"
Hearing the words Raiden couldn't help but look in the direction of Scáthach, he still had no idea why and how she was here
"How are you able to manifest without my powers? did my power change without me knowing?" Asked Raiden as he looked in her direction. Scáthach simply shrugged as she said "Didn't I tell you? If you impress me I'll take you as my disciple. As such I'm here to do that just that"
Hearing Scáthach's words. Raiden was still confused as he said "That doesn't explain how you can manifest yourself without my powers"
"You seem to be under a misunderstanding. The servants you summon onto your body are heroic spirits of the past who have died. However, unlike them, I have never died. I was sealed in the land of shadow and lived there. But since you opened the gate long enough I decided to come out"
Hearing that Raiden understood the situation saying "Does that mean you'll be staying here? With us ?"
"It's not that simple. I have Forced myself to leave the land of shadows. It's still eating at me and trying to force me back, I don't know if I'll be able to stay here for more than a day or two" Hearing that Raiden was disappointed, he was looking forward to having a great teacher like Scáthach
{System Has detected the presence of a living servant!
The servant known as "Scáthach" is bound to the land of shadows
Host can enter a Master/Servant contract with the servant
Doing so, the servant known as "Scáthach" will be bound to the host instead}
Looking at the sudden notification from his system Raiden couldn't help but think 'It's Gaia's work isn't it, you're always looking after me. Thank you
"Scáthach I think I might have a way to keep you here permanently, I think I can make a master/Servant contract with you"
Hearing Raiden's words, Scáthach questioned "Is that even possible without the Holy Grail?"
"It's a perk of my Special powers. Are you interested"
Scáthach nodded saying "Yes I do accept"
As she said that her body lit up with red energy before it dwindled, Raiden looked at his right arm and he noticed a weird red tattoo was created, it looked like a great sword pointing downwards
{Host has Gained three command spells
Command spells can be used to make a servant stronger or use a Noble phantasm
Command spells can be used to force a servant to listen to the master's orders
Upon use a command spell won't regenerate until after ten days have passed}
'sheesh these things are very Strong, but I guess I only get three a month, I suppose these are my rewards for defeating a Demi-Beast' thought Raiden, before he turned to Scáthach and said "So like, Now that you are my servant, can you do some missions for me ?"
"Let me get this straight to you, while we are in a master/Servant contract, that doesn't mean I'm here to be your actual servant, I'm here to train you as my Disciple since you have enormous potential, so from now on, you will call me Shishou" spoke Scáthach shutting down Raiden's suggestion
"Okay fair enough, But I think you'll accept this one mission that I'm going to task you with, it involves punishing the people who released Trigon, They sacrificed a Thousand souls and almost led to the doom of planet Earth, so how about it ?"
"If that's the case, then I'm in"
…
4 Days Later
…
Department of Extranormal Operations is one of the most secret departments the United States government has ever created, its purpose is to deal with super individuals that are too difficult to deal with and represent a real threat to the planet, or to be more precise, the ones that represent a real threat to the united state's government
It has many ways to deal with metahumans, the entire building is built with Meta-gene Suppressors , not only that, but the building is also fortified with many weapons and traps that can even suppress the justice league, Martians can't phase through the walls, and many fire traps ready to kill them, kryptonite in the vault close to the head of the department's office, fear toxins in case a green lantern decided to try something, it was perhaps one of the most secure buildings in the planet against the justice league or super villains
However, none of that mattered to the Queen of The Land of Shadows, no trap or weapons was even close to taking her down, hell none of them were even able to detect her
The head of the department, Mister Bones, was a meta-human himself, and even he detected nothing until suddenly he felt something on his neck, he immediately realized it was a blade, the tip of a spear to be more precise
"How did you get in here ?" said Mister Bones, he was shocked, but he was a professional with many years of experience, so he managed to hide his surprise, in response to his question, the spear cut his neck a bit, the cut quickly healed as the person who has managed to sneak to his office, Scáthach Spoke "Speak only the truth, if I detect any lies, your head will fly, I can see that you have some form of regeneration, and I assure you that won't be of any help to you, I can cut you a thousand times before you press the button under your desk"
Removing his hand from under his desk, Mister Bones Raised his hand and said "What do you want to know"
"Are you one that gave Amanda Waller the mission of Killing Raiden Kagawa ?" asked Scáthach, to which Mister Bones said "Is this about that Kid ?" as soon as he spoke those words, Scáthach cut one of his hands so quickly that Mister Bones didn't realize it was cut until few seconds later, he screamed and grabbed his wound, and realized that it wasn't healing as fast as it should 'what the hell did she do, was that a damn curse ?'
"I wasn't joking when I said I can cut you a thousand times, now, answer my question, before I follow through with my threat, and just to be clear, no one outside can hear you, I've already put a sound barrier around us"
'this damn woman, she can cast magic and that spear of hers isn't a joke either, my healing factor is slower than it should be, she also sneaked in without anyone realizing, whoever ever she is, she's a threat! Perhaps even at the level of the Justice League on her own….damn it, if I was fast enough, I can touch her with my cursed hand, but I can already tell that it would be impossible, I'll just have to comply for now
"The order did come from my office, but it wasn't my decision, the vice president of the United States was the one that asked for it, he deemed Raiden Kagawa a threat, and he didn't want the relationship between Reach and the US to be Jeopardized"
Hearing that Scáthach asked another question "Did you approve the sacrifice of a Thousand souls to the Demon God Trigon?"
Hearing that, Mister Bones opened his eyes wide as he said "What? what do you mean a thousand souls, I approved no such thing, especially not to a goddamn demon!"
Scáthach could hear his heart beats, and realized that at the mention of Demon and a thousand souls, Mister Bones' heart sped up, meaning he wasn't lying, he truly didn't know
"Is it Possible for Amanda Waller to enact such a mission without you knowing the method?" asked Scáthach, to which Bones replied "No, It's not, she must always report the methods used, it was us who approved the Suicide squad project in the first place, and it was with strict conditions such as knowing the methods used when we asked for the report, she stated that she would be using the witch known as 'Enchantress' to kill Raiden Kagawa, the report said that the witch has figured out a weakness that Raiden Kagawa Had, and would be taking him out"
"Are you the only one that she reports to?" asked Scáthach, hearing that, Bones remembered something "Usually yes, but for this mission in particular, the Vice president demanded to receive the reports from Amanda Personally instead of going through me, you're not saying that the…."
Cutting him off, Scáthach said "The weakness that was discovered by Enchantress was the sacrifice of a thousand Souls to the Demon God Trigon, and sending Raiden to Nazareth, and Alternate realm of magic, If not for my master, that demon would be destroying earth right now"
She then through a ball made of darkness on his table as she said "I'll leave the judgment to my master, if he deems you unworthy, I'll be coming back to eliminate you"
…
"hold on, I didn't know of such a thing, I will personally report this to the president herself!" said Bones, seeing that none of his limbs had been cut, he looked behind him
"She left…" Bones sat back on his chair as his heart started to beat hard "Whoever that was, I hope I don't see them again" he then looked at the table and saw the ball, he hesitated to touch it for a bit, but then he mustered up the courage and touched it, upon touching it, it shined and started to show him a recording of some sort "this is….it's a recording of that kid's battle"
Since his infiltration of the Reach's ship, Raiden decided to start recording everything he sees when he's on a mission, just in case he needs evidence for anything, the recording of course didn't contain everything, he needed the US to fear him, so the parts of his defeat and his interaction with others were cut out, but one thing was highlighted, and that was the Power and amount of threat the Demon God represented
"That Damned woman! If not for that Kid we'd all be dead! How dare she do this! I knew she goes to extreme lengths for her missions! But this is insanity! She almost doomed the planet! Desmond! Come here!"
Mister Bones' right-hand man came rushing through the door "Yes sir"
"Assemble The 'A' team to take down the Suicide Squad and Arrest Amanda Waller, and connect me with the President, also suspend all operations that she was involved in"
Hearing Mister Bones' words, Desmond swallowed his saliva and said "Sir, I was coming here to tell you about her, the suicide squad was taken down, and Amanda Waller was kidnapped by an Unknown individual, thirty minutes ago"
Hearing that, Bones Opened his eyes in realization 'It can't be, that woman took down the Suicide Squad, kidnapped Amanda, got information about me, came here all in thirty minutes ?'
"Connect me with the president, we have an important matter to speak to, it's about a National threat"
