Editing Time Crisis (video game) (section)

==Plot==
In 1995, the V.S.S.E., an global intelligence agency, helps Sercian opposition leader William MacPherson engineer a coup that overthrows a century-old authoritarian regime. MacPherson is elected as the Sercian republic's first president. Sherudo Garo, the last survivor of the regime, plots to restore the old order, launching a series of attacks and assassinations that destabilize the nation. As the finishing touch, Sherudo has President MacPherson's daughter Rachel abducted and imprisoned in his family's castle on a remote island, demanding vital military secrets in exchange for her life. A desperate MacPherson contacts the V.S.S.E., who in turn dispatches veteran agent Richard Miller, the "One Man Army", to infiltrate the castle and rescue Rachel.

Richard reaches the island and rams his explosives-rigged boat into the castle's exterior to create an entrance. Sherudo hears the resulting boom, but his head of security, Wild Dog, assures him that Richard will not last long against his highly trained mercenaries. Meanwhile, Richard confronts Wild Dog's troops in the submarine hangar and makes his way to the main courtyard against heavy resistance, eventually reaching Rachel's location. She warns him of a setup before being whisked away. Richard is confronted by Sherudo's chief assassin Moz and his unit. He defeats them and interrogates Moz, who reveals that Rachel has been transferred to the clock tower. There, Richard is attacked by Sherudo, a trained knife thrower, and guns him down, only to find Rachel held at gunpoint by Wild Dog. Angered by Sherudo's death, Wild Dog reveals his intentions to blow up the castle with Richard inside and escape with Rachel. Pursuing them to the castle's helipad, Richard arrives just as Rachel manages to break free, leading Wild Dog to shoot her. A furious Richard engages Wild Dog in a fast-and-loose gun battle across the rooftop, during which Dog accidentally sets off his detonator, apparently killing himself in a fiery explosion. Richard collects the wounded Rachel and escapes in Wild Dog's chopper just as the rest of the castle goes up in flames.

The PlayStation version features a special mission known as the "Kantaris Deal", which takes place several weeks after the main story's events. Richard is alerted by V.S.S.E. to the presence of an illegal arms factory posing as a Sercian hotel, with ties to Wild Dog's organization. He is assigned to infiltrate the factory and eliminate its owner, Kantaris. Upon clearing the lobby, Richard has three different paths to his target. The first takes him through the ballroom/casino, where he eliminates Kantaris' boomerang-flinging assassin, Web Spinner. He then pursues her to the swimming pool just as she attempts to escape by air. After shooting down an escort gunship, Richard damages the engines of Kantaris' ship just as it takes off, causing it to crash and explode. Should Richard fail to stop Web Spinner in time, he will instead be taken to the arms factory; and should Richard fail to pursue Kantaris in time, he will instead be taken to Kantaris' office in the lounge. The second path, which can only be accessed if there are less than 22 seconds left on the clock, instead goes through the shopping mall and down into a garbage disposal. There, Richard uses a claw arm to punch a hole in the wall, allowing him to access the underground arms factory. From there, he makes his way to Kantaris' office in the lounge and defeats her personal security droid, which then malfunctions and rolls out the window, taking her with it. Should Richard fail his pursuit in the arms factory, he will instead be redirected to the parking lot. The third path can be made available if Richard does not activate the claw in time. Instead of entering the factory, he goes directly through the parking lot. After defeating a spider-legged battle tank, Richard disables Kantaris' car, forcing it to crash. If in any of these scenarios Richard fails to take action soon enough, Kantaris escapes and the mission is aborted (canonically, the spin-off game ''[[Time Crisis: Project Titan]]'' takes place after the mission's failure).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bandainamcogames.co.jp/cs/list/timecrisis-pt/chars/02.html |title=PlayStation|publisher=Bandainamcogames.co.jp|access-date=November 26, 2014}}</ref>
