==Intro Cutscene.==
Shadows of Shepards.
Gotham City.
23:20
[ " Criminal Intent " by Simon Viklund starts playing. ]
[ door creaks, loud footsteps are heard.]
Cassandra Cain: Adrian, baby, calm down. [ approaches her boyfriend, hugs and tries to kiss him. Adrian gently pushes her away. ] Adrian, you can`t do it. If you kill him. you`ll become just like him, if not worse!
Adrian Shepard: So fuckin` what? Cass, I was a spec ops operator. I was a merc. I am the goddamn vigilante. [ sighs, cocks his Kimber ]. I just don`t care anymore. Don`t you dare to stop me. Call Bruce or any other person from the Batfamily - it`s your fault if they return home wounded, crippled or in the body bags.
[ Adrian starts to leave with his sports bag and stops to turn and look at Cass. ]
Adrian Shepard: Love you, sweetie. Don`t forget that.
[ Cass nods, then, after her beloved leaves, she starts crying.]
==Objective: Gain Entry In David Cain`s Base.==
[ Barking is heard in the distance. Adrian tosses out his cigarette and looks through the binoculars.]
Adrian Shepard [ putting his binoculars back in the bag, speaking softly. ]: Can`t see shit. Fucking Jordi, sold me this crap. [ jumps down from the small hill`s top.] Right, two options. 
The player can choose how to approach the security outpost. First option called " Guns Blazing ". Second one is " Sam`s Style ".
If the player chooses option 1, Reaper will pull out an MG36 out of his car`s trunk along with HE and incindiary grenades, then will put on his heavy combat armor.
If the player chooses option 2, Reaper will take out an X95 Silenced out of the bag along with Throwing Knives and attach the Silencer to his M17, then will put on his Light Kevlar Vest.
Adrian Shepard ( if option " Guns Blazing " is chosen ): [ loads MG36, cracks his neck. " Rules of Nature " starts playing. ]. Let`s - a go, assholes!
Adrian Shepard ( if option " Sam`s Style " is chosen ): Quiet it is. [ " And Now We Wait " starts playing. ]
Regardless of the option, Adrian gains an entry, but...
Bruce Wayne: [ speaks via radio ]. Adrian, think. Don`t do something you might regret later. 
The player has a choice to answer either calmly or aggressive.
If aggressive answer is chosen...
Adrian Shepard: [ almost yelling, punching a wall so hard that the hole is there ] Shut the fuck up! You don`t know shit! Don`t contact me again!
If calm, collected answer is chosen...
Adrian Shepard: [ chuckles and smiles sadly ] No can do, sorry.
[ Shepard then proceeds to pulliing out of his ear and smashing to bits his earpiece. He hacks the gate system and goes further, with the darkness surrounding him.]
==Objective: Find And Kill Cane.==
[ Adrian puts on his NVG, check wrist - mounted OPSAT and exhales. Running and cussing are heard in the distance, as well as some guns cocking. ]
[ " Slun Lord " by Mega Drive plays ]
Adrian Shepard: [ softly. ] Shit.
If the player went loud, enemies will appear with NVGs and high - caliber weaponry, such as AK - 74 or M249, or semi - auto shotguns.
However, if player stayed silent and chose to sneak, enemies will be on alert, but they won`t have NVGs and powerful weapons. Instead of NVGs, they will have flashlights and flares to light up the hallway, making player`s walkthrough much more easier.
Dick Grayson:  [ using PA system]  Adrian, don`t do it, man. Stop, turn around, let cops handle him.
Adrian Shepard: ..
Ghost uses the elevator and goes up. He looks out in the elevator`s window and sees Batwing approaching the penthouse. Sighing loudly, he pulls out a cig and lights it up.
Adrian stops smoking when the elevator shakes. 
David Cain: [ using PA system ] Think I would go down so easily, huh, fucker? Did ya?
Adrian bails out of the elevator just in time ( or dies trying, if the player fails the QTE ), and looses his main weapon ( MG36 or X95 Silenced, depending on the option ) in the process. He check his sidearm, reloads it and takes the silencer off.
He kicks the door leading to the helipad, kills two of the guards and shoots Cain in the lung.
David Cain: [ coughing up blood ]. Ya got me, kiddo. Ya got me real good. [ smiles wickedly ]. You`re one helluva assassin, I`ll give ya that. 
Adrian Shepard: [ exlahes loudly, raises his M17 and points it at Cain`s forehead.] Bested you at your own game, old fuck. But I`m no assassin. 
Suddenly, Batman and co. appear, ready to fight. Adrian scoffs, pulls bleeding and slowly dying Cain, and uses him as a human shield, pointing his pistol at the temple of his target. Batman, Spolier, Red Hood and Orphan approach him, while cops and other Batfamily members are on standby.
Adrian Shepard: Y`all expect me to surrender, huh? 
Jason Todd: C`mon, man. Let `im go. for fuck`s sake. [ makes one step forvard, holstering his Desert Eagle ]. See? I`m unarmed. Now let `im go, or I`ll put a hole in you, shit - for - brains.
Stephanie Brown: [ follows Jason, with her hands up ]. You are better than this bastard. Just hand him over to the cops, 'kay?
Cassandra Cain: [ peeks from behind of Steph`s shoulder, speaking very soft ]. C`mon, handsome. Do it for me.
Adrian grits his teeth, then looks at Bruce, who shakes his head, silently pleading him.
Adrian Shepard: What do I get in exchange?
Bruce Wayne: I`ll try to protect you in court, but you`ll still be judged. [ he outstretches his arm towards Ghost and his adversary ] Make the right choice here.
The player has the final choice - surrender and turn Cain to the police, or kill David and try to escape.
Adrian Shepard: [ exhales, pushes Cain towards the cops. ] Okay. I... I trust you.
Bruce Wayne: [ nods and smiles a little ]. Good choice. You did the right thing.
David Cain: [ on the ground, getting handcuffed ]. That`s it, kid? You`ll give up, just like that? You`re no assass-- [ Adrian kicks him to the jaw, knocking him out, and several cops let out a laugh ]
Adrian then turns himself in.
Or...
Adrian Shepard: Fuck that. And fuck y`all.
He shoots Cain, throws a smoke grenade and makes his escape. Cops strat shooting, but Shepard reaches the edge, checks his parachute and jumps. Batfamily and three cops rush after him, and Batman jumps after Adrian, thinking that he is falling down from the rooftop, not noticing the parachute.
'Jason Todd': [ in awe, noticing the chute ] Holy shit, is he good.
Cassandra Cain: [ whispering, on the verge of tears ] Goddamn it, Adrian.
Ghost succesfully lands, steals a car and escapes.
==Endings.==
===Ending 1: A Clean Slate. ===
Camera slowly pans towards the Wayne`s Manor, showing a lot of people. It is wedding, and camera shows Cass, crying tears of happines, dressed in white wedding dress, and Adrian in pristine white suit, who smiles at his bride.
Adrian Shepard ( inner monologue ): Well, I guess that`s that. I`m happily married man, with a lot of friend by my side, a beatiful wife and a steady job. That was a long road, but, in the end, it was all worth it. What became of Cass`s father, you may ask? Well, the old asshole - sorry. jerk - offed himself in his cell. At least, that`s what police reports say. But, uh, nobody cares, right? So long as there evil, we will be there to stop it.
Camera shows a group photo of Adrian in his Ghost attire with Batfamily in their combat attire, then credits roll.
The stinger shows the man in the black mask picking up Cain`s M&P Silenced.
Unknown Man: [ chuckles ] Son, you got a way to fall.
===Ending 2: To Punish.===
Camera pans over Gotham City, then shows two terrified goons in the alley, who hold their hands up.
Goon 1: C - c`mon, man, let us go.
Goon 2: We did nothin` bad, man! We were just chillin` an`--
The gunshots interrupt their pleas, and goons drop dead. Ghost approaches two women, cowering near the wall, and helps them up. They thank him and run away.
Adrian Shepard ( inner monologue ): I don`t know what Cain wanted in the end, Death, maybe? Maybe he thought " Shit! This kid tough ". I don`t care, to be honest. But I care for this city, these people. And I don`t look back anymore. I don`t regret shit. `Cause in this fuckin` city must be someone, who protects people with no just cause, no hidden agendas. Everything is connected. And I`ll use that to expose, to protect. And, if necessary... to punish.
Final shot shows Adrian with sniper rifle in his hands, and Cassandra behind him.
The stinger shows the same scene from the ending 1.
