Metal Gear Solid X

"Get back Raiden!!" Snake yelled from up top a bridge. Raiden jumped back as a hail of gunfire spit towards him. Snake whipped out a FA-MAS and unloaded a few rounds at the Russian guards who were chasing them both. Raiden spun and pulled out his SOCOM, rolling, and fired at a guard nailing him in the head as blood fell from the wound.

"Not bad rookie." Snake said as the last few fell down to the floor, dead with a few holes in their chests.

"Nailed more then you Snake."

"Whatever you think rookie, but the body count with FA-MAS rounds in 'em doesn't lie." Snake replied coolly as he lit a smoke. Raiden put his SOCOM back in its holster.

"Ya' know Snake, I don't think I like Afghanistan very much." Raiden quipped.

"Yeah, let's get moving." Snake replied.

"Ok." Raiden said and they continued through the military base they were sent to infiltrate. A disturbance had been reported to Philanthropy from Afghanistan. It said that a giant robot was attacking their marine base. Otacon immediately suspected another Metal Gear and sent in Raiden and Solid Snake to investigate. With the current grim situation, Snake looked coldly at Raiden as he looked passed a wall. There was a sentry patrolling the perimeter. Raiden loaded his SOCOM and grinned; he turned around and jumped out to kill the guard as he was yanked back by Snake.

"You forget Raiden, that this isn't a simulation. Unlike Big Shell this is real, you are not supposed to survive here. So we are using stealth, and a gun with a suppressor," Snake motioned to the un-silenced pistol. "Watch and learn rookie."

Snake drew his M9 Tranquilizer gun and slid out expertly and fired a dart at the sentry, hitting him in the neck.

As they walked on they had the feeling they were being watched. (!BZZZZ!)

"Snake!" Raiden exclaimed. "Did you hear that?"

"It's a camera." Snake replied. "It's no big deal."

"If you say so…" Raiden said as he slid past the blind part of the camera.

"I do." Snake quipped as he did the same. (He's too green) Snake thought. (He's too young to be here on a vital mission)

{Snake's to calm. I hate it when he's like that. It scares the hell out of me.} Raiden collected his thoughts as they continued on. On the way they had a few encounters. What could they expect?

"Raiden its 16:00 hours, it's time to report to Colonel." Snake broke the silence.

"Snake this is Colonel ,report your status." The codec voice said.

"This is Solid Snake and Raiden, we have successfully infiltrated the outer base and are about to enter the core."

"How's the rookie Snake?" Colonel asked.

"He's ok but he's green." Snake replied. "I'm out Colonel."

"All right Snake, and good luck." Colonel said. Raiden looked up.

"Snake are you ready to go in?" He asked.

"Let's stay the night here behind that wall over there." Snake said back.

"Ok I'm tired anyway." Raiden said and walked over to where they would camp and set it up.

After setting up Snake fell asleep and Raiden lie awake in wonder. The endless tunnels of this base were eerie to him. It seemed like years since they were dumped at this base. Then with the run in at the guards Oasis he had to be much more careful. The large base that awaited him would somehow know he was there, he could feel it.
