Transcript
The issue begins in the Amazon Rainforest as Sam Drake and Victor "Sully" Sullivan are flying around.


 * Sam: Do you see any caves?
 * Sully: No, I don't. I still don't fully understand what we are looking for.
 * Sam: In the 1950s, Andrew Ryan and a few engineers have developed an utopia for the greatest creative minds. He called it Rapture.
 * Sully: As in the Biblical event?
 * Sam: I think that's the point.
 * Sully: Where is it supposed to be?
 * Sam: Somewhere underwater. Since we have no clear idea where it is, we located a clue to where it can be located. And it's in a cave.
 * Sully: Underwater?
 * Sam: It's meant to be the one place free of the burdens of capitalism and the government.

Suddenly, Sully notices a cave.


 * Sully: I think that's it.

He flies closer to the cave as soon the plane lands in the cave. Unknown to them, a militia is watching them and enter the cave. It cuts to Nathan Drake cooking dinner. He is humming as soon he finishes cooking and runs to the table as Elena is waiting.


 * Elena: What's cooking?
 * Nathan: Roast beef.
 * Elena: Nice.
 * Nathan: You know I love you right?
 * Elena: Of course I do.

They kiss as suddenly Nathan gets a phone call.


 * Nathan: Hello?
 * Sam: (on phone) Hey long time no see…
 * Nathan: Sam? What is it?
 * Sam: (on phone) Me and Sully are kinda in a situation.
 * Nathan: Sam, if this involves treasure hunting, forget it.

Suddenly a gunshot is heard as Sam screams in pain as someone else enters the phone.


 * Nathan: What the hell?!
 * ???: (on phone) Hola señior Drake.
 * Nathan: What did you do to Sam?!
 * ???: (on phone) Just grazed his shoulder but I can do much worse.
 * Nathan: What the hell do you want from me?
 * ???: (on phone) You already know the answer. You.
 * Nathan: Listen, whoever you are, I'm done with this illegal treasure hunting. So just put the gun down and let my brother and my friend go.
 * ???: (on phone) Just call me Raul, Señior Drake. And I'm sorry, I won't let them go. So you better come to the Amazon Rainforest quick. Or you will have a dead brother and a dead friend.
 * Nathan: Is there some other way we can do this?
 * Raul; (on phone) No there is not. If you don't come in 24 hours, they will die.

He hangs up as Nathan screams in frustration.


 * Elena: Let me guess, someone is holding Sully and Sam hostage and is forcing you to get back into adventuring to save them both.
 * Nathan: Yeah, I am. But I need transportation. Is Charlie nearby?
 * Elena: I think he's on vacation.
 * Nathan: Shit.
 * Elena: But you know who I know bas recently arrived nearby?
 * Nathan: If it is who I am thinking of, no.
 * Elena: Give this person a chance.
 * Nathan: Fine! Only for you.

It cuts to a pub as someone is drinking with their back turned against the wall, wearing a hoodie, covering their backside. Suddenly, an extremely strong thug comes in.


 * Thug: Oi! Get out of the fucking way! This is my spot!
 * ???: I was here first.
 * Thug: Oh, you're a bitch! I will make you move pussy!

He attacks her as she pins him down and then proceeds to knock him out. In this glimpse you see her face: she is Nadine Ross, former head of Shoreline and now a mercenary for hire. Suddenly, Nathan Drake enters the pub.


 * Nathan: Hey Nadine. Long time, no see.
 * Nadine: What do you want?
 * Nathan: Your help.

Nadine gives a small chuckle.


 * Nadine: You're asking the woman who tried to kill you to help? What about Victor Sullivan or your brother?
 * Nathan: Both are captured by a guy called Raul.
 * Nadine: Raul Menendez?
 * Nathan: You know who he is?
 * Nadine: He's a revolutionary. Believes that the government is holding back the rights of humanity.
 * Nathan: So he's a nut job. Got it. What sort of treasure results in Sam and Sully getting captured?
 * Nadine: You know what? I'll help. Only if I get a cut.
 * Nathan: I'm kinda desperate right now so deal.

They shake hands as they travel to the Amazon Rainforest as soon they find a cave surrounded by armored cars.


 * Nathan: Armored cars? Yep this looks like the place. Nadine circle around and park somewhere. I think Mr. Menendez isn't expecting you.
 * Nadine: Yes my glorious leader.
 * Nathan: Ha, that was kinda funny.

He jumps off and lands on a car as he enters the cave and sees Sam and Sully tied up with Raul pointing a gun in Sam's mouth.


 * Raul: Señor Drake, we finally meet.
 * Nathan: Let them go.
 * Raul: Only if you help me.
 * Nathan: With finding this treasure I know nothing about?
 * Raul: Exactly. I know you are one of the best treasure hunters out there.
 * Nathan: (to Nadine on a speaker) Now!
 * Raul: Now?

He turns and sees two of his cars crash into each other and hears an explosion as Nadine walks out of it holding a gun.


 * Sam: You convinced Nadine Ross to help you?!
 * Nathan: Long story.

He cuts Sam and Sully free a they and Nadine run to the helicopter.


 * Nathan: What sort of treasure are you guys hunting after?!
 * Sully: Aren't you retired?
 * Nathan: I already went here to save you two and Nadine wants a cut of the treasure.
 * Nadine: I do.
 * Sam: Remember Libertalia?
 * Nathan: Yeah, of course I do.
 * Sam: We are hunting after Rapture, which to summarize is Libertalia but with creative minds and is completely underwater.
 * Nathan: Do you have any idea where it is?
 * Sam: Nope. But we have a place where a clue might be. Nadine, bring us to Kyrat!
 * Nadine: Did you just say Kyrat?
 * Sam: I did.
 * Nadine: You know that it is ran by a dictator right?
 * Sam: It's a first for everything today. Anyways, Rapture Awaits!

Sam chuckles as they fly as issue ends
