Ghost of Tsushima - Scenery [30/?]

Simon "Ghost" Riley is considered one of the best soldiers of Task Force 141, but what if he befriended a certain German Shepherd? Let's look at their story!

I recommend hearing the song "Found" by Jacob Banks while reading as I use this song as an inspiration!

- One day, Task Force 141 was sent to a town-turned-warzone area. Buildings made of stone crumbled down because of human-made explosions. After the battle had died down, Price and Soap sent Ghost along with Roach to sweep the area for any more hostiles.

- Instead, they heard a faint whimpering that was not... human. Ghost and Roach followed the sound, and it came from behind a large debris. The boys lifted the stone, only to find a little German Shepherd puppy whose body got stuck on the cracks in the ground.

- At first, Ghost wanted to leave the little creature be, but Roach couldn't do that as he saw his pleading eyes, begging for help. Ghost looked at the mutt, and his heart melted, so he finally helped him out of the cracks.

- Ghost and Roach poured water on the puppy to clean him up, then noticed that he had white marks on his nose. "Look, Ghost." "What?" "He looks like you" "...You sayin' I look like a dog?" "No, Mate. See these white marks on his nose? It kind of looks like your mask." "Oh." "Let's name him! Since he's you but dog version, let's name him after you." "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY--" "Riley. His name's Riley."

- When Ghost and Roach went back to Soap, he SCREECHED at seeing the dirty puppy. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! THROW THAT MUTT AWAY BEFORE I MAKE YOU BLOKES RUN AROUND THE BASE 50 TIMES AROUND!" Roach calmed his CO down and said, "Soap, Sir. We don't have to throw him away. He's a german shepherd, a perfect breed for military purposes. I don't see a reason why we can't have another member of the force who'd help us alert or track the enemy."

- Still, Soap denied as they don't have a K9 trainer. They'll have to train the dog themselves and who will take care of him? Who'll feed him, train him not to pee and shit on the floor, train him to KILL? Certainly not Soap.

- "GHOST WILL!" Roach shouted as his finger pointed at his best friend. "His eyes are fixed upon Ghost as he's the first person he sees, so maybe that's why Riley's so attached to Ghost." "YOU ALREADY NAMED HIM??" Before Soap could further argue, Price's voice entered the radio, "Simon, if you can make him useful for the team, then you can keep him. If you can't we'll send the muppet back to England, open for adoption." Ghost stared at Riley's eyes,

"Your call, Son."

- Despite Soap's disagreement, Ghost decided to keep Riley.

- It wasn't easy at first, as Ghost's past with dogs wasn't that good either. His father would take a feral dog home and locked him in a room with it all night. However, they became friends really quickly since the dog only wanted to follow Ghost. He's the one who feed him, let him live in his room, potty train him, and Price even invited one of his friend, a real K9 trainer to help him train Riley.

- Over time, Riley started to grow really big, and he's finally ready for the battlefield.

- Riley quickly proved himself in the battlefield as he's VERY useful. Riley can detect enemies, bombs, alert them, and even kill the enemies. Ghost and Riley were the most effective duo in the battlefield as they are both deadly, effective, yet silent. Price called them both "Blimey Rileys", and it stuck.

- Deadly Riley may be, but he's still A CUTE DOGGO to the TF141 boys. If Riley's not training, he'd play with the boys, follow them around, and full on be the goodest boi!

That's it and have a double Ghostie Rileys! 💀💀
