I do not own any of the characters from the Evangelion and Metal Gear Solid universes; they belong to Hideaki Anno, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, GAINAX Studios, Hideo Kojima, Shoji Shinkawa, Kojima Productions and Konami Studios.

Author Notes:

This is the revised version of my first fic, a crossover between Metal Gear and Evangelion. It deals with the idea of what I think would happen if both casts were to meet. The original started in Episode 23 of the series; this one starts in Episode 9.

I decided to redo my original work due to several mistakes it had; to put it simply, putting this fic outside of the Evangelion timeline is a mistake, and the original would do just that. I left it in chapter 3, and it was already taking place during the events of End of Evangelion. All the relations between the Eva characters are pretty much destroyed by that point, and all the plans are nearing completion, so placing this story at that point was just wrong. In any case, this isn't just the same fic with other timeline. The overall plot is the same, yes, but many other things have been changed as well.

In my opinion, what makes Evangelion and Metal Gear awesome is mostly the incredible depth of the characters. They actually seem real sometimes, so motivated they are, so realistic in their own way. They have motivations, fears, strengths and weaknesses. Another great thing is that in the end all the characters are heroes in their own way, since they all fight for their purposes and what they think is right. There is no ultimate evil in both sagas. Even SEELE believed that they were doing the good thing by furthering Instrumentality. That, I think, is one of the things that makes a crossover possible, since all the characters are realistic and we just can't get tired of them. In my experience, I found myself wondering about what could happen if we crossed both universes. This is the result, what I think could happen if both casts lived in the same world.

Haven't you thought about the possibility of Metal Gear Ray facing Unit 01? Snake fighting side by side with the pilots of EVA? Someone powerful enough to rightfully challenge Gendo Ikari? Or the possibility of the two casts strengthening each other? If you are interested, stay. I really tried my best with this fic. All my best thoughts went in here, all my best efforts into writing something entertaining, yet meaningful as well. A story that leaves something by itself. If you liked 'Vengeance', then you probably will like this one too. They both come from my most philosophical side. It might not be perfect, but it's the best I can come up with as of now. If you read it, then leave a review and tell me if you liked it or not. Let me know what you think.

Devil Boss

Just a few details:

This story displays Big Boss as one of the main characters. For those of you that are a bit unfamiliar with the MGS world, Big Boss is the main character of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. He is also known as Naked Snake. Solid Snake is his clone, and the man that beat him in the first two games of the Metal Gear saga. Liquid Snake, Liquid Ocelot and Solidus Snake all wanted the same thing: revive Big Boss' dream. To build a nation for soldiers and free the world from the grasp of tyranny.

For the sake of the argument, Solid Snake is still Solid Snake and not his older counterpart, MGS4's Old Snake. I just couldn't place Old Snake in this story, so in this fic Snake is 43 years old and he looks like he is in his early 50's.

Prologue I

The 21st. Century began with the world split into two. A hidden war took place for years, ready to blow into the deadliest battles mankind had ever seen. And it all started in September 13th of the year 2000.

The Second Impact. Mankind's attempt to control our fate, and reach a state we are not meant to have. The Sin of mankind drove us to ruin. The new century was born in the middle of chaos. And being submerged in chaos, the answer was war. New armies arose, new means of warfare. New powers that challenged the old ones. A new generation of children was born, children born after terrible parents, children without a future to call their own. Children scarred for sins that were not theirs, but their parents'. The upcoming war with the Angels planted the seed of fear in mankind's heart, and the Evangelion Project was born. A project that would demand only very specific people to participate. A project that demanded the sacrifice of the mothers for their children. A project that demanded the very soul of those children.

Only specific candidates would be a part of that project. The same sin committed with the Les Enfant Terrible project was repeated. Only children born after the Second Impact and with some rare genetic characteristics would be considered appropriate. Those children's gene's... their genes would seal their fate. Genes control. Evangelion control. Battlefield control. History control. Evolution control. Mankind reached its lowest point after the Second Impact. The Gene Manipulation therapy was restarted. A new breed of artificial soldiers was about to rise.

As the world's axis shifted to Japan, they made the same mistakes the United States had during the Cold War. They created monsters... and said monsters now run free. Their sin is our sin. We failed, our generation failed. For another project of terrible children had been born.

Superior genes. Superior education. Superior technology. The best training GEHRIN could give to an EVA Pilot. One child that only sought freedom from the ghosts that haunted her. One child that looked for the freedom to be outside anyone's shadow. Asuka Langley Soryu was raised much like the legendary Liquid Snake.

Rushed training. Trauma. Inferior genes. Inferior education. A forgiven product of the late Doctor Ikari, one child no one wanted, one child used to create another. One child tossed away for the sake of someone else's goals. One child called to war after ten years. One inferior child that arose and could not be stopped. Shinji Ikari was raised much like Solid Snake.

A zero. The control subject of the experiment. The ultimate tool. The ultimate pawn. Rei Ayanami... Rei Ayanami was the ultimate slave, the ultimate cripple... much like Solidus Snake.

But some of the old legends are still alive. One of the products and the original recipient of the Les Enfants Terrible project still live. The old program of super soldiers isn't dead yet. And now is time for the two generations of children of sin to face each other. Now it's the time... for one last war of heroes to take place.

Prologue II

June 2015 - One month before the Angel attacks

Misato Katsuragi was in the middle of a shootout. Having arrived at her new apartment seconds ago, she was getting out of her car in the parking lot of the building when she suddenly found herself being shot at by four armed men. Misato had ducked right behind her car and had gotten out her USP 45. Pistol in the blink of an eye, trying to get some idea as to where were the men attacking her and what could she do to beat them.

Some bullets went above Misato's head and hit the glass on her car's door, smashing it and sending crystals everywhere. Misato didn't even flinch. She was a fully trained military officer, and she had seen combat before. Four armed men weren't enough to scare her. So she took a quick look before shooting at the nearest one, which was unprotected.

The man got two shots on the stomach before having any time to react. His partners dove behind some near cars in order to get some cover. None of them had expected the Captain to put up a fight after their surprise attack.

One down, three to go. Misato reloaded with coldness and started shooting again. But her attackers were covered and none of her shots hit the mark. Misato had to get her head down to avoid getting hit by the onslaught of bullets headed her way. Devising a plan in a matter of seconds, Misato let out a moan and threw one of her empty clips to the ground, causing a small clack as it hit the ground. Believing Misato to be injured, one of the assassins stepped out and approached the car Misato was hiding behind of. The NERV Captain didn't hesitate: the man was dead one second later, shot in the head.

Two down, two to go.

Misato took a quick glance before getting to cover once more. The two remaining hitmen were behind a black van, taking turns to shoot her and reloading. There was no way for her to take them out head on, so she had to think of something else.

Of course, Misato wasn't NERV Director of Operations just because of her looks. She was one of the best strategists alive, having the second best score in tactics recorded in Germany's military academy in history, the first place belonging to the mythical Big Boss. She spotted a three nearby, not only giving cover but shadow as well. If she could get there, the two remaining hitmen wouldn't see her, and they would inevitably expose themselves when looking for her. But Misato had to be careful: if they saw through her ruse she was as good as dead.

Acting on her plan, Misato simply did nothing. She didn't shoot anymore; letting the two men do that for a while. She had to be extremely careful now: fighting head on was one of the worst tactics one could take when outnumbered. Misato let her attackers' fire for a minute, keeping her cool as best as she could. Several bullets went really close to her, but she remained uninjured.

Believing the Captain to have run out of ammunition, the assassins approached the car she was hiding behind of. Misato took her chance and fired wildly, not even stopping to take aim, as she knew that being exposed for long before the two armed men would mean death for her. The two men yelled in surprise and rushed to cover, leaving Misato unwatched for some seconds.

Misato made use of that and moved swiftly under the three, invisible now in the shadows. She remained very still now, waiting for the right time to strike.

Now. One of the hitmen approached her car very carefully; his attention completely focused on avoiding any more tricks Misato could try. Using this chance, Misato put all her faith in her military training and stealthily moved to the side of the parking lot, using the shadows to cover herself. This went well, as neither of the assassins noticed her, focused on her car as they were. Misato decided to take out the hitman covering behind the van first. She silently approached him from behind his back, intending to ambush him and break his neck.

But apparently her skills were not as sharp as they once were, as the hitman heard her just before she could grab him. Turning around in a blur, the man tried to punch her with his right hand, which was holding his pistol, while shouting to alert his partner.

Misato reacted faster than she would have thought possible on her, deviating the assassin's punch and letting him stumble right past her. Once again putting her training to use, Misato put the man in a chokehold and used him as a human shield, trying to get her right hand as free as possible to shoot the other guy when he came.

She wasn't let down. The other hitman came shooting rapidly before realizing that his partner had been the one shot. A brief flash of surprise shone through his eyes, and that hesitation meant death for him, as Misato took aim in that instant and shot him between the eyes.

The man she had used as a human shield was dying in her arms. Misato put him on the floor, knowing that he didn't have much time left.

"Who sent you?" Misato asked, looking at him straight in the eyes "Who sent you to kill me?"

Misato knew that a man's last words tended to be honest. Maybe it was because no one really wanted their last words to be a lie, or maybe because no one cared about schemes and fights when they were about to die. She had asked her questions based on that assumption, looking intently at the man and waiting for him to talk before death claimed him.

"The...Patriots," the man said before letting out a sigh and lying still on the ground.

Misato closed his eyes and holstered her gun. She didn't know who the Patriots were, but if they were powerful enough to attempt an attack on one of NERV's most important members... Misato thought that it was a good thing that Asuka was still in Germany and Rei lived in another part of the city. At least this way she didn't have to worry about the pilots' safety.

.

Sitting on the roof of a near building, Special Agent and spy Revolver Ocelot was looking at the scene through a pair of binoculars. He had a grin on his face.

Reaching out with his left hand, Ocelot got out a small cell phone and quickly dialled a number. He didn't have to wait much before getting an answer. Still displaying that disturbing grin of his, Ocelot started to talk.

"Yes, is me"

"It is a secure line"

"Captain Misato Katsuragi was outstanding"

"I would very much like that, but duelling her now would be a hindrance to our plans"

"Yes, I have also sent several strike teams to attempt assassinations on all the other prominent members of NERV. They are all scheduled to fail, much like this one"

"I leaked the necessary information for the Patriots to attempt these attacks. But they were far to unresourceful to be effective. Still, NERV and SEELE will be worried by this"

"And they'll start looking for protection against the Patriots"

"If they want to challenge them, they'll have to look for the only man capable of doing so"

"Big Boss, the Naked Snake"

"I'll see you soon, Eva"


The sentry entered the elevator with his gun raised. He checked the corners before venturing inside. He had heard a noise come from inside, but there was no one here. Shrugging, the guard turned around. He didn't have any time to react when he felt a very intense pain on the back of his neck. Then everything became black.

Solid Snake got up from behind him and hid the unconscious guard body in one of the corners of the elevator. He had climbed to the ceiling, supporting his weight by placing his hands and feet against the walls as hard as he could. Good thing that his FOXHOUND training included Parkour as well.

Everything was dark outside the elevator. Some dimly lit corridors were in front of him, guarded by a few sentries. It was 1:00 AM after all, and the skyscraper was quiet as a tomb.

"Otacon, I've reached the top floor of the building," Snake said through his codec to his partner in Philanthropy "There are a few sentries patrolling; I don't think it's going to be much trouble"

"Be careful, Snake," Otacon advised "There's something about this mission that doesn't sit up well with me. Call it foreboding if you want, but I don't like this"

"And you tell me I'm too paranoid?" Snake mocked while hiding in a dark spot in one dimly lit corridor "But I get what you mean: you don't like this because it's been too easy"

"Exactly," Otacon confirmed, relieved that Snake understood "Snake, you are in one of the most important UN office complexes in the US, and yet you got to the top of their building without so much as a few encounters. Security should be tighter than this!"

"Don't forget this is just their building in the US, not their main office in Tokyo 2," Snake said "But I agree with you; I don't like this either"

Snake moved silently through the dark corridors. He was close to his goal now. A guard was patrolling nearby. As the man turned around, Snake swiftly grabbed him from behind and put him in a chokehold, making him pass out soon thereafter. Snake hid the body and approached a door nearby. Getting out a Security Card he had stolen earlier, Snake opened the door and got inside.

It was a large office with a huge window at the north end. There was a desk in front of the window with one computer in it. Snake took a look around. No one inside. There was plenty of room unused, which could make things troublesome if someone decided to enter, as Snake would have very few places to hide.

"Otacon, I've reached the Chairman's office," Snake said "There's no one here"

"Good," Otacon said "Snake, I need you to connect our pent drive USB device to the computer you see on the desk. That way, I'll be able to hack it and get as much info as we can. We have to see if Ocelot is hiding under the UN's wing by using the name Ivan Shalashaska"

Snake nodded and walked to the desk. He switched the computer on and plug in Otacon's device. The Otaku was an expert hacker, and Snake trusted he could hack into this computer as well. That done, Otacon would get as much files as he could and Snake would leave soon after with the data. They would later analyze what they recovered.

The floor was suddenly filled with the sound of the alarms. Snake quickly crouched behind the desk and readied his handgun. Tapping his index finger into his right ear, Snake called Otacon.

"Otacon," Snake said, checking the door carefully. "The sentries have discovered the bodies I left when sneaking in. You have to prepare my extraction before any reinforcements arrive!"

"Okay Snake," Otacon nodded nervously. He couldn't understand how Snake managed to keep his cool even in such tense situations "I'm sending the Nomad there. You'll have to prepare your helium balloon as quickly as possible"

"Understood," Snake said darkly "You finish hacking that computer. I'm on my way out then"

"Snake, it won't be long before reinforcements arrive," Otacon said "We've got what we wanted. Prepare for extraction now. Get out of there!"

Snake didn't need to hear it twice. He quickly recovered Otacon's device and shot the big windows behind the desk, smashing them. He then procured what looked like a handgun from his backpack. Aiming at the night sky, Snake fired. A balloon came out of his handgun, quickly filling with helium and shining in the dark night. It was the CIA's Fulton Surface to Air Recovery System, created in the sixties for the Cold War. It still worked fifty years later.

"Snake, they're coming!" Otacon shouted through the codec.

Snake readied himself. He could hear the guards approaching, they had surely discovered the sentries he had taken out while getting in by now... but he had to wait. It should be here by now.

A sudden pull and then Snake was lifted into the air, the wind hitting him on the face with full force. Snake looked upwards and saw his recovery team: the Nomad, a huge plane, with an arm on the front that had picked the cable connecting him to the balloon he had fired earlier. Made of titanium and carbon fiber, the cable easily supported Snake's weight as he was extracted from the UN's building with the help of the Nomad. Mission accomplished.

The next weeks' work would be finding out if Ocelot was in fact working with the UN. If that was the case, then Otacon would trace him, and then it would be Snake's turn to give chase.


July 2015 - A few days after the Third Angel's attack

Sitting alone in a small dark room, Revolver Ocelot was talking with someone via a secure phone.

"Chairman Lorenz"

"Yes, is me"

"Yes, it's a secure line"

"We found him, sir. Big Boss' body"

"We will retrieve him soon. I have already contacted some old colleagues to do the task"

"The Patriots won't be able to react in time, not with your supporters backing us up"

"With him, yes, you will be able to challenge the Patriots"

"Gendo Ikari is a traitor"

"Yes, Big Boss is more than a match for him. I think you will be very pleased with him"

"Nothing will stop SEELE now"

"I am always at your disposal, Chairman Keel"

Ocelot grinned and ended the call. Everything was going according to plan. It had taken him three years to earn SEELE's trust, and now he was finally able to release Big Boss from the Patriots' prison. But he had to make another call before departing to his mission. He calmly dialled a new number.

"Yes, it's Ocelot"

"It's been a while, Eva"

"Yes, they bought our story"

"With their aide, yes, you should be able to get him"

"The how is not my problem"

"Both you and I know Big Boss can't be brainwashed, even if they are foolish enough to try"

"Yes, he will need our help"

"I find myself going to Japan very often these days, I know of someone who is just right for our purposes"

"I'd say more like an unsatisfied subordinate. His quest is the same as ours"

"Yes, I'll make sure you get all of SEELE's support for this mission. Being a UN General does have its perks."

"I'll keep in touch, Eva"

Ocelot hung up the phone once more. He was very satisfied; things had gone better than intended. Neither he nor Eva could get Big Boss on their own, as the Patriots watch on him was simply extreme. But it was a different story with SEELE's backup. Soon Big Boss, their true leader and Commander, would return and set this split world straight once again. Soon they would be free.


"Jack? Is that you?"

Light. An intense light enveloped Jack's body. His arms felt very heavy. His body felt like it was burning intensely. His throat was dry. He didn't dare to open his eye again in fear of being blinded by the intense light. It hurt, everything hurt, his body felt so heavy that he couldn't even move. Jack tried to breath, and soon found himself wishing that he hadn't, his lungs burning cruelty, intensifying the pain. Pain, the pain was terrible, overwhelming. And in that overbearing darkness, the only thing Jack felt was the intense pain. His muscles aching, his legs numb. It became so intense, so powerful, so excruciating that the only thing Jack started to wish for now was the slow oblivion of death.

"Life's end. Isn't it beautiful? When Life ends it gives off a final lingering aroma"

"Boss!"

A whimper, maybe come from another world, or maybe from his own memories. The voice of his mentor, of his saviour, of the only person that had given his life some meaning. The Boss' voice rang in his head, clear as the last day he had heard her; the day he had murdered her. The day she had sacrificed herself for him.

No. He could not go on like this, hidden in the dark. Not after his own mentor's sacrifice. No matter how much pain he felt, no matter how powerful the light around him was, he had to open his eye again, he had to fight, he had to get up once more.

"Ughhh," a groan of pain came from his throat when he tried to speak for the first time. His voice sounded hoarse and rough. The effort made his throat burn with tremendous intensity for a few moments. Yet his own soul was starting to burn with the same passion that defined his existence.

"Doctor, I think he is waking up!" someone was saying excitedly, his words piercing a hole in Jack's head. He was slowly regaining consciousness, but the more aroused he was the more intense the pain became. And yet pain was his life as well.

"Excellent, about time he woke up. Keel will be satisfied," another voice said.

A new voice arose among the others and began to give orders quickly. Jack felt the pain begin to diminish.

"I loved you. I've given you weapons, taught you techniques, endowed you with knowledge"

"Can you hear me?" someone asked. In the intense light, it was impossible to see his face. The only thing that Jack could distinguish was a faint outline. Behind it, there were several figures clouded in shadows. A few more groans escaped his lips. This time, though, he didn't feel his throat burn. Jack felt his strength slowly returning to his body, and with that strength his vision started to get clear again.

"He is awake," said a voice behind him.

"Try to rest," said the figure above him. A doctor. "You've been trough an extreme surgical procedure. Rest and regain your strength"

There was nothing else Jack could do at the time, so he complied. Soon, the figures surrounding him faded in light again. Their voices mixed, and Jack could no longer distinguish one from the other. But there was one thing he knew for sure.

"Boss... I'm back"


August 2015

"Well, that was one hell of a ride"

The grand room echoed Rouji Kaji's words, making them last for some seconds in the dimly light place. Standing in front of him was one Gendo Ikari, the Commander of NERV. His face was as stoic as ever, yet one very tiny grin could be seen if looked closely enough. Gendo was standing behind his desk in his grand office, his focus being one small container with the biohazard logo on it.

To Gendo Ikari everything was going according to plan. The Second Child had arrived today, and agent Kaji had brought him one of the most important objects - if not beings - in the face of the Earth.

"This was what caused it, right?" Kaji asked. Gendo didn't reply. Both men knew the answer. Gaghiel, the whale-like Angel, had attacked the pacific fleet due to ADAM's presence in there. That was the reason Gendo had assigned an EVA unit to go with the embryonic Angel, as well as two pilots. And his plans had gone flawlessly. Gendo opened the small container in front of him.

"It has already restored this much," Kaji was saying with a playful smile, his carefree demeanour showing even in the face of one of the most sinister men on Earth "It is contained in solid bakelite, but I assure you it's well alive," the container had a small box inside, a box that guarded a very tiny creature that could almost resemble a human fetus. But this was no fetus, this was something far more ancient, and more powerful "This is the key to the Human Instrumentaly Project, isn't it?"

"Yes," Gendo said "This is the first human being. ADAM"

Gendo smiled.


Big Boss awoke with the sound of screaming. Startled, he tried to sit up, but his body didn't respond. It didn't take him long to realize that he was the one screaming. He stopped then, trying to figure out where he was.

He was lying down in a bed, his body attached to several machines that monitored his condition. The bed was inside a white, clean room, empty besides him and the machines. All things - the white bed, the machines and the room itself - had that sterile smell that he always associated with hospitals. Yes, he was quite positive that this was indeed a hospital. Though he didn't particularly like them, this was better than being in a cell or something worse. But he should be dead, burned alive by his son, Solid Snake. How come was he in a hospital, and, more important, what was the state of his body?

Big Boss tried to lift his head to take a look at his body. Since he was covered by white sheets he couldn't see much, but everything seemed to be in place. That in itself was wrong. His body should be almost destroyed after the savage fight with Snake. If he was healthy - hole could be a better term - then that meant that he had been saved and healed by someone. Upon this thought, Big Boss recalled some of the words he heard when he first woke up, something about an extreme surgical procedure. If that was the case, the next obvious question was who would want to take Big Boss to a hospital - a very good one, if they could repair the damage his body had sustained - and heal him, and for what purpose.

He didn't have much time to ponder these thoughts, though. The door opened and a young Asian doctor strode in, holding a clipboard. Big Boss stared at him with calm, cold precision. To his credit, the doctor didn't flinch, but his body language gave off his unease.

"Big Boss," the doctor stated, standing on top of Big Boss's bed "How are you feeling?"

"Fairly well, considering the circumstances," Big Boss answered eyeing the man coldly "What happened to me?"

The doctor flinched under that question, his uneasiness growing. He looked nervously at Big Boss, like trying to gather some courage, and then started to speak "You have been retrieved of one of the Patriots facilities. You were in a coma at the time, and your body had terrible injuries. Fortunately, most of your internal organs were intact. We were able to restore your body and your limbs using cutting edge medical technology, and frankly we weren't sure if you would survive the procedure. Despite our doubts, the operation was a complete success, and I can assure you that you will be out that bed very soon. You will go through physical therapy for a few months, but considering your life as a soldier and your peak mental state, we are quite certain that you won't have any problems with it."

"If you got me out of the Patriots control, then who are you?" Big Boss asked gravely "Where am I?"

"I'm sorry; sir, but I can't answer you questions. I'm merely your physician, Doctor Yamada" said the man "I'll call for my superiors now, if you excuse me. I'm sure they'll be able to tell you everything you wish to know"

Big Boss nodded, and doctor Yamada left immediately. There was silence in the room for some time, while Big Boss tried to move his body even a little bit. He was in the process of clenching his fist when two men entered the room, both of them wearing military uniforms. Big Boss looked at them - they seemed strong, like the type of person who tends to give orders rather than take them - and the two men stood in front of his bed.

"Big Boss," said one of them, an old man of broad shoulders "I am Colonel Dreher of the German army and this is my partner Lieutenant Bohn. We are here to brief you about the current situation and to tell you about your future arrangements with us"

The man had spoken confidently and Big Boss eyed him for a few moments. He had talked about 'future arrangements' with no doubts about it, like taking Big Boss's cooperation for granted.

"I see," Big Boss said "Then I'll ask you the same question Doctor Yamada couldn't answer "Who are you, and where I am?"

"We are part of SEELE, the most powerful organization on the planet," Colonel Dreher answered "Right now, you are in one of SEELE's secret facilities, to heal your wounds and then assist SEELE in its crusade"

"What year is this?" Big Boss asked suddenly. Both Colonel Dreher and Lieutenant Bohn looked surprised.

"I was defeated by Solid Snake in 1999," explained Big Boss "At the time, the Patriots were by far the most powerful organization in the world. According to what I've been told, they still exist, but now there is also SEELE. This couldn't have happened in a short amount of time, so I ask you again, what year is this?"

"2015," curtly replied Colonel Dreher "And, as you have deduced, the Patriots are no longer the only power of this world"

"Big Boss," Lieutenant Bohn cut in "You must know that many things happened between your fall and the present time. The world you knew has disappeared"

"We will give full access to our databanks for you to inform yourself about the events that had transpired in these sixteen years you have been lost," added Colonel Dreher "Be sure to learn everything quickly, for you will be called by SEELE's committee very soon. They will give you your orders"

Author Notes 2:

Well, there goes the prologue. I know I made it a little too unclear, but that's because it's just that, a prologue. The actual story begins in Chapter 1, starting in Episode 9 of the anime. That's why we don't get to see much of the main characters of Evangelion. Next chapter will be about that, as it is mostly about Shinji and Asuka bonding with one another during and after the battle with Israfel. Chapter 2 is almost ready, so I think I'll post it next week.

In any case, if you like Metal Gear Solid, stick around. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Let's see where this leads us. I ask you to leave reviews, as they tell me what you think of this story. Leave a review, even if you want to flame me. I thank those as well, since at least I get to know what to improve in the future.
