"So everything is set Krusvelepse?"
"Yes comrade MERC operatives should be arriving in just a few hours."
"Then soon the Soviet Union will soon shine again."

Submarine Nautilus, Barents Sea 23:04, 11/16/10

"Snake your mission is to find out why those Russians are going to launch a nuke. Then you must disable the nuke."
"Alright, so what do these Russians want anyway?"
"Classified information Snake."
"Fine, I'll find out soon, one way or another I always find out."
"Once we get about a mile away you'll have to start swimming."
"Fine."
"We're approaching Snake prepare to start your mission."

Snake is out of the sub and is swimming towards the base. After awhile he finally reaches the base. He gets out of the water at a dock. Snake takes cover and calls the General via Codec.

"This is Snake, I'm in."
"Where are you at Snake?"
"It looks like a dock. Not too many guards."
"Good. Your first objective is to find Vladimir Dreschev. He's a General of this little group; interrogate him for everything he knows. He should be on the ground floor of the building your in."
"So I just got to head up a few floors to the first floor?"
"Yes, there should be an elevator somewhere close to you."

Snake looks out from behind his crate to see a guard with his back turned walking away. He also sees an elevator. Snake walks slowly behind the guard. Snake sees another crate; he ducks behind it. The guard turns around and comes back toward Snake's position. The guard passes Snake's position and Snake grabs him. Snake snaps the man's neck and picks up the body. Snake drags it over to the water and sets it on the water's edge in the dark. Snake walks to the elevator only to hear it coming down! He runs back to the crate and a guard walks out of the elevator. He hears a guard's footsteps and the question.

"Hey, what was that noise?"
"I don't know I just got here."
"Come on, let's check it out."

Snake hears the guards coming for him. He jogs back to the first crate, this time without noise. He sees the guards checking the area so he doubles back. He runs to the elevator and sets it for the first floor. The elevator rumbles then heads up. Snake takes off his O² mask. The elevator comes to a stop and Snake steps out. Two guards patrol a large area and Snake sneaks by without a problem. His Codec rings as he enters the next room.

"Snake Dreschev is in this room."
"You're sure?"
"Yes. Officers where black. Take out the other guards then... oh how many guards are in there?"
Snake looks around. "Three, not including Dreschev."
"Ok, take them out one by one then find him."

Snake walks around; he comes to the first guard. Snake grabs him and snaps his neck. The guard drops an M9. It was loaded with ten darts. He hides the body behind a crate. Snake darted out from behind the crate to see a guard with his back turned Snake shoots him in the head and grabs the body. He hides it by the other body. The guard drops a Socom as he is being dragged, Snake picks it up along with some ammo. Snake has thirty bullets and a Socom.

"Hey where are you guys," the last guard yells?

Snake shoots a dart in his leg. The guard turns to him but Snake is gone. The guard is knocked out a few moments later. Snake makes his way to the door when the Codec goes off.

"Snake he should be behind that door."
"Ok, got it."
"Ask him for his I.D., The Russians might have decoys pretending to be officers with knowledge around here."
"Ok, I'll make sure it's him."

Snake walks through the door. Dreschev is sitting in a chair typing something on the computer. Snake grabs him.

"You're Dreschev right?"
"No, I'm Mikhail Fetor."
"Sure you are. Let's see your I.D." Snake throws him down and kicks him in the ribs. Snake grabs his I.D. lanyard. Snake throws him under the desk and walks to the computer. He tests the I.D. for authenticity. The I.D. was fake, but it said that he was Fetor. "Your I.D. says your Fetor, but the scanner says differently."
"I was told it was real"
Snake aims a gun at his head. "Tell me the truth."
"Fine, I am Dreschev."
"Now, I want some info."
"Fine, just don't kill me."
"What is this group you're a part of?"
"I... I."
"Tell me!"
"Fine, we're the New U.S.S.R."
"Good, now why are you going to launch the nuke?"

A gunshot rings out and blood spurts from Dreschev's heart. Snake rolls away behind the desk.

"So you're Solid Snake."
"Who the hell are you?"
"My name... is Maniac Chimera. I am MERC's gunner."
"MERC?"
"We're the new mercenary group on the block. Speaking of mercenary groups, I hear you were once part of FOXHOUND."
"Ya, so."
"You're the reason I joined MERC. Besides I am the best gunner in Europe."
"You can't even hit me sitting still and you think that you're the best gunner in Europe?"
"I wasn't aiming for you. I want a fight right here and now Snake."
"You're crazy."
"Perhaps a bit. But that doesn't change things. You're trapped and the only way out is through me."

Snake realizes he has no choice and fires his Socom at Chimera. But Snake sees that Chimera is nowhere to be found. Machine gun bullets ring out from somewhere and Snake goes back to his hiding place. He hears Chimera laughing well, maniacally. Snake peeks out again and fires at Chimera's shoulder. He hears a scream and knows it was a successful hit. More machine gun bullets ring out one penetrates the desk. Snake is hit in the back. The desk was about to fall apart, Snake needed a new hiding place. Snake crawled behind the desk where Chimera couldn't see him. He got behind a different desk. Chimera fired at the desk that he thought Snake was in and Snake took aim and fired. A shot hit Chimera in the chest. Another scream rang out. Snake shot him again in the shoulder. Snake was hit again in the shoulder this time. Snake ducked down into a prone position. Snake shot Chimera on the left side of the neck.

"You son of a bitch! I'll get you for that."

Snake charged forward to Chimera's hiding place. He put his arm over the desk and shot five rounds.

"Ouch! This isn't over Snake." Chimera got up and ran for the door as he released a smoke grenade. Snake fired into the smoke but made no contact. When the smoke cleared Chimera was gone.

Snake walked over to Dreschev's corpse. Snake reached into the satchel Dreschev was carrying and pulled out a keycard, now he could go through the door that Chimera exited through.

That was chapter one. More will come later.
