Metal Gear Solid Dragon: Adventure through Time.
Disclaimer: I do not own Metal Gear. All I own is my OC character.
Chapter1: Death, Sorrow and Snake Eater.
People like me should be always ready to die. Death is a part of our job. Either enemies or ours. Being part of GRU Special-Ops unit teaches you that since the beginning. But still, you always hope that you will survive the ordeal. Waking up in a black space means that I didn't.
"Sad, so sad"- murmurs a figure nearby. It was a tall man with white hair, wearing broken glasses. From one of his eyes there was blood flowing. Wait, isn't that… No, it can't be, it's not a video game! What the hell is happening?!
"Excuse me, but isn't your name Sorrow by any chance?"- I couldn't help but ask. I hoped for an answer "NO".
"Indeed it is. Now, what are you doing here? Ahh, yes, you died saving your comrades by jumping on the grenade and covering the blast… Interesting…"
"Ehh, sorry?"
"You are not supposed to die yet, and yet-you are dead."-Now that picked up my interest.
"What does it mean? Will I able to return?"
"Not in your world, not yet. Hmm, it seems you know about my world. Oh, a video game, really? This is so interesting, so many possibilities. Ha-ha-ha-ha-aha-ahaa…!"
"Oi, I'm right here, you know?"- Man, this person drew me nuts."What is this all about?"
"Tell me soldier, if you had a second chance, would you take it?"
"Yes."
"But if you had to sacrifice yourself for others again, will you do it?'
"Without question"
"Is that so?"
"You saw it yourself. If I had to jump on a grenade again for others, I would do it without hesitation."-I meant every word.
"You passed my little test, showing that you're willing to live again, but ready to sacrifice yourself for others. And you meant every word. That's why you are given a second chance at life. But there is a catch…" Oh god, there's always a catch.
"Let, me guess, you are going to send me in your universe."
"Yes, but… with some perks, so to say."
"And that would be…"
"Solid Snake's skills, some of his equipment, your knowledge of the universe and…"
"Aaaand…"
"That's a secret!"- He finished in a cheerful voice.
The only thing I could do was face palming. Really, an immortal and powerful ghost acting like some anime character. What a sick joke. Well, at least I had a chance to meet Big Boss and Solid Snake, which is actually cool. But I need to find out where I would start.
"What time are you going to send me to?"
"Operation Snake Eater."
"My objectives?"
"Survive and help Big Boss if you find any chance."
"Any chance to save Boss?"
"I …. I would appreciate that."-finally some normal emotion from him. Not just insane laughter.
"Well, let's get this thing started, shall we?" Then I grin. This promised to be a great journey.

I appeared somewhere in the jungle. That is something I could never understand and was ready to strangle Hideo Kojima for. I mean, every sane person knows that there are no jungle forests in USSR or Russia at all. Oh, well, it's not my universe anymore. Might as well live with it.
I looked through my equipment. I was wearing a sneaking suit from Metal Gear Solid 4, equipped with Octocamo, on my back there was a Dragunov rifle with a silencer. Nice. I also had an AK-74, with also equipped with a silencer and laser sights. For the age of snake eater it's a top notch technology. As a side-arm I have a M1911A1, also heavily modified. I also had a knife, an EZ gun, some grenades and a…mamma mia… a magazine (book)… I'm in heaven, boys and girls, I'm in heaven. I also had a backpack. In it I found FaceCamo, some medicine, rations (bleh), a Solid Eye, a death pill with revival pill and… and… an IPod? There was also a note, saying: "Подарок, полный Печали. (A present full of Sorrow)"
I felt a tingling down in my head, which meant I had a CODEC. For some reason I knew how to access it.
"Yeah?"
"This is Sorrow. I assume you accustomed to your equipment."
"Yeah, thanks for the Ipod, by the way. Does it need any charge?"
"No, solar batteries. Anyway, you need a Codename. Any preferences?"
"Call me… Call me…" I tried to remember my old codename "Call me Dragon" Yes that was the name given to me by my old mentor.
"Dragon you are. Your objective is to infiltrate Groznyj Grad and help Naked Snake. Try to avoid COBRA unit in order not to mess up the timeline too much. But you can defend yourself if needed."
"Thanks for small favors. But Sorrow, why are you doing this? Why did you give me a second chance. You could just leave me be."
"And lose a chance to see a great show. You showed promise in Chechnya, it would be a waste to lose it. Tell me, why did you go into Spetsnaz ?"
"It's a family tradition. I didn't know any other way. My father was in the army, my grandfather… They were my idols…"
"I see. Anyway I also prepared a legend for you. You are now a Russian operative, which is tasked to assist Naked Snake."
"How did you manage? You are not exactly …alive…"
"I have my ways. Now get going. I hope you remember radio frequencies."
"Roger that. Commence operation "Snake Eater"".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
140.85
"Hello, is anyone on this frequency?"
"Who's that? Identify yourself!"
"Easy there, my codename is Dragon. I was told you are a support team on this op."
"Oh, you are that GRU operative, sent to look after the mission! Well, sorry for hostility. Times are…"
"Rough, I know. I'm sorry about your predicament, but we have a job to do. So, let's calm down, get to know each other, complete this mission and go home, people. It's that easy."
"You are right. I'm major Zero. I'm in charge of this operation."
"I'm PARAMEDIC. If you have any health problems, call me. My frequency is 145.73."
"YO, name's SIGINT. You need info on any tech, call me. It's 148.41."
"Pleasure to hear you all. Now, where's the other operative? Snake, I presume?"
"Yes, he had a run with the Boss again. Near the dropsite…"
"Is he all right?"
"He's fine. Dragon, your meeting point is in the Rassvet installation. Your meeting question is "Who are the patriots?" The answer is: "La Li Lu Le Lo"".
"I better hurry then, thanks. Over and out."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
I arrived at the installation just in time to see OCELOT unit storming the house. The firefight inside started. I decided to join and sneaked into the building. Snake worked like a machine, without stop, in a rhythm. For a professional soldier it was poetry in action. Damn… I wish I could work like that. Then I saw an OCELOT soldier ready to shoot Snake from behind. So I opened fire and shot that soldier instead.
Snake turned and saw me. He was surprised. But the he was distracted by another soldier, and when the threat was gone so was I. Then goes the plot: Ocelot captured EVA; Snake berates him for choosing wrong revolver. At this place I appear. I tapped Ocelot on his shoulder, he is distracted, EVA beats his ass, Ocelot runs away, EVA leaves too. Then Snake turns to me and sighs.
"Who are the Patriots?"
"La Li Lu Le Lo".
"So, you are Dragon."
"And you are Snake". We shake hands."Nice suit"
"Yours is not bad too. Who's the tailor?"
"Some crazy man, wearing glasses and reading too much for his own good. Sorry, can't tell you more. So what our next move?"
"I have to infiltrate a place called Graniny Gorki, talk with Sokolov and then move to Groznyj Grad. And you?"
"I'll move straight to fortress and divert some attention to me. By the way, who was that woman?"
"She's EVE."
I decided to play dump."EVE? Where is ADAM?"
"He didn't make it."
"I see. Anyway, here is my radio frequency. It's 142.79. If you need something- call me."
"How are you going to infiltrate the fortress?"
"There is an important cargo going there. You see, not far from here there is a helipad for transports. So I infiltrate the cargo-I infiltrate the fortress, that's easy."
"But how will you go unnoticed? It's not an easy feat."
"Weeel… I can be really sneaky when I want to". With these words I activate OctoCamo.
"Figures."
That's the end of the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Please review.
