Yo! First time writing a story, that will be put out for people to read and it's a Metal Gear Solid and RWBY crossover.
So yeah don't know how this will turn out, but that's part of the fun. So on-wards and upwards as they say.
I don't own Metal gear solid or RWBY
Venom Snake the leader of the mercenary group known as Diamond Dogs woke up and found himself in a oddly strange was lying down in the middle of a forest and his head was killing him. It wasn't the headache that was the problem that was fairly common, that and faded colours when he woke up, were side effects of the piece of shrapnel lodged into his skull.
Even waking up in a forest wasn't unheard of for him, after all he went on a lot of different missions some of which could last days or even weeks. So he was use to sleeping on the ground too. No what was strange about this situation was that he had absolutely no memory of how he got here. The last thing he remembered was returning to mother base and after that nothing.
Did he hit his head? The shock could be causing him to hallucinate or it might have given him some short term amnesia. However that wasn't urgent right now he had to asses the situation he was in he quickly rose to his feet. which was a bad move as his sense of balance wasn't right and he had to stop himself from falling over.
"That's not good I must be in worse shape than I thought." he spoke as he clutched his head with his prosthesis, the cold metal helping to sooth the pain in his head. It wasn't to long before he felt better and the colours of the forest started to come to life in front of him. With his vision restored he started to take in his surroundings.
Unfortunately looking around really didn't help all that much. his surroundings consisted mainly of generic looking trees, bushes, stick, a few plants and animal trails. The only thing that stood out to some extent were the animal trails. from what he could tell It would require a fairly large animal to make them. Maybe bears lived in the forest? If so he would need to be careful.
Snake sighed after realizing that nothing in the nearby area gave him a clear indication as to where the hell he was. Looking over himself he found that he was dressed in The standard Olive drab fatigues. as for his equipment he had a AM MRS-4 5.55mm Assault rifle, AM D114 pistol, a ALM 48 7.62mm machine gun, all his other standard equipment (canteen, knife, etc.), his stun arm, a few different types of grenades and ammo.
That made sense as it was the load-out he picked for his last mission when he had to extract a commander of Zero Risk Security, Miller believed the man had a link to Cyper. However all his equipment seemed a bit bigger that he remembered. was it the horn in his head playing tricks with his mind?
After thinking for a bit Snake released something. "My IDroid" Wait was his voice different? slightly higher? Snake shook that thought from his head it could wait until he knew where he was. His IDroid should be able to display a map of the area if it was downloaded not to mention he could get in contact with Ocelot or Miler, Hell even Pequod could tell him what was going on and if need be give him a ride out of here.
Snake brought the IDroid up to his face and pushed that button to activate it, however that familiar blue hologram did not appear. "What the hell!" Snake couldn't help but yell in anger. Was it broke? After looking at it more closely he noticed that It looked like it had been crushed "DAMN IT!" Once again his displeasure made itself known. He must have fallen on it and smashed it.
Maybe yelling wasn't the best of choices as a moment later his instincts screamed at him to move. He threw himself forward and the claw that would have taken his head just missed. If he was a second slower that would have been killed him. Snake rolled as he hit the ground and then turned around well bringing his assault rifle up and pointing it at his attacker.
"What the?" Was all he could say as he looked at his assassin, it was some kind of bipedal wolf. The thing was slouched over, A bone mask covered its face and it seemed to have glowing red eyes that were looking at him like he was a free piece of meat. he Also noticed that its body was covered in black fur and that it had bones sticking out from its body in random places, maybe to act as armor?
'Really this thing looked like it belongs on the set of a crappy werewolf movie' Snake couldn't help but think, after all he had watched a lot of movies recently. He needed something to do on his down time on mother base. 'However those claws look like they could do some damage I need to be careful.' Some damage its claws and teeth looked like they would have no trouble tearing flesh from his bones.
Apparently the beast realized that that Snake was making fun of it as it released a deafening howl before charging him. The thing attacked with vicious swings of its claws, which snake dodged thanks to his training and reflexes. That and the fact the it was just swinging its arms around in what Venom thought was very predictable behavior. He could probably kill it just by shooting it, but he thought it would be better to try and learn a few thing about the monster first. Snake guessed that its joints would be a weak spot so after dodging under another swing he brought his foot down on the things knee. Which promptly snapped under the force of the kick.
The leg let out a loud snap and was accompanied by the sickly wet noise of part of the bone bursting through the skin of the beast. The thing let out a pained howl, Snake then instantaneously kicked its other leg out from under it causing it to fall to the earth. quickly he grabbed its arm, knowing it would be difficult to to break the bone at the elbow due to the other huge piece of bone protruding from its elbow. he decided to instead dislocated the arm at the shoulder. with a loud crack, the wolf let out one more screech of pain. Snake then drew his knife and slit the beast throat. Its howl became a garbled mess as grimy black blood poured from the wound. it died shortly after..
Snake watched in confusion as black smoke seemed to pour out from the corpse It looked like it was slowly disappearing."Its body is disintegrating?" Now he just had even more questions about these things, they were fast and strong that was true but it seemed that they still were limited to what their bodies could do, unlike the skulls that could phase through objects and did other stuff that went far beyond the realm of possibility.
The adrenaline was still in his system from the fight and his senses were still in a heightened state. So he heard the fall of running footsteps coming towards him and turned to see that there were two more of the wolf-like things coming out of the bushes. It seemed that these things had been drawn out by the noise the last one made. Snake reminded himself not to stick around after dealing with these two.
Deciding that it was probably a bad idea to fight them both a close quarters he started charging up his stun arm, as the two beast closed in on him. he pointed his prosthesis to the one that was closest to him and let loose the 1.2-mega-volts the arm stored. electricity seemed to jumped out of his arm and it went straight into the face of the monster in front of him. The force was enough to send the thing flying back into a tree. Where it continued to stay after hitting the ground, its muscles contracting due to the shock.
Snake them had to quickly dodge under claw strike but instead of moving away and putting distance between himself and the creature Snake stepped into it placed his leg behind its and then used his whole body to throw the thing to the ground. It took less power than he thought, He quickly drew his 45. and shot it twice in where he assumed its heart would be. It seemed he guessed right because it didn't get up and black smoke was coming out of the corpse.
he turned and pointed the gun at the other one that was still lying against the tree its eyes closed "it's unconscious?" he spoke as he approached the downed wolf thing. Once he got close enough to start smelling the burnt flesh and fur he fired his handgun hitting it twice in the same location as the last one and like before smoke rising out of the body. That was good to know whatever these things were they could be killed just like anything else.
After that Venom decided that it would be a bad idea to hang around this area any longer and started to move west if the position on the sun was any indication.
The sun was looming just above the horizon when Snake decided he better look for a place to lay low for the night. It seemed that wherever he ended up was infested with these creatures and it also the damn things weren't limited to just wolves, well he was making his way through the forest he came across similar looking bears, boars even one huge bird that he really didn't want to fight without a Recoilless rifle on hand. he managed to sneak past most of them and also learn to identify if they are in the area. the marked their territory like other animals they claw at trees and not to mention the animal trails he noticed before it's quite easy to see where the larger things had been.
However that did not mean that his trip so far was easy, sneaking past was only possible when he spotted them first. On more than one occasion it was the other way around and the things attacked in swarms It seemed that the three he fought before was the exception not the rule. Most of the time the attacked in groups ten to fifteen a few times it was as little as five. needless to say his ammo was starting to dwindle.
Snake noticed from his short stay in the forest that whatever these things were they were not the only fauna in the forest he'd spotted rabbits, squirrels, other normal birds and even real wolves. and the black and white creatures didn't seem to care about them at all. So why were the so aggressive Towards him? fatigue was starting to kick in, the constant fighting and hiding was beginning to take its toll on him. Legendary soldier or Not fight and sneaking all day would wear anyone out. not to mention he hadn't eaten in what felt like days, his last real meal was before his last mission.
He was lucky enough to stumble across a small clearing that had a small river running through it. This would be a good place to camp there was a clear line of site in all directions so he could spot enemies if the approached. Not to mention he could top up on water and if he was lucky catch a few fish.
Just then he heard footsteps approaching from behind. Quickly he jumped into the nearby bushes and then stayed perfectly still. Instead of more viscous animals out to kill him it was two humans walking through the forest without a care in the world. Luckily they hadn't noticed him it yet.
They moved to a Clearing nearby before stopping and looked around. It seemed they had reached the same conclusion as Snake and decided that this was a good place to camp. Snake slowly crawled to a new position to get a better view of them.
'One male and one female. both armed the male with a single sword a strange pattern was engraved into it, the engravings seem to be glowing red. The woman has two short dao blades and an assault rifle.'
Appearance wise both were in their early twenties. The man had light brown hair and the woman's was Midnight black. They both had light armor covering most of their body and were dressed with baggy black clothes. clearly they were here to fight and kill something or someone. Venom Snake brought out his INT scope and tried to get a better look at them.
One thing that startled him was their ears. They weren't in the right place or for that matter human ears at all. The girl had the ears of a wolf and the man, the ears of a raccoon? Snake honestly couldn't say. Just then they started talking and his INT scope picked up the conversation and played it through his earpiece.
"I can't believe we've been out on this stupid assignment for 3 days." The male of the group complained.
His partner just sighed "What did you expect? Our objective is to clear the area of Grimm their numbers have been on the rise around here." She spoke as if this was the hundredth time she said it, clearly she was annoyed and her companion wasn't helping.
"YEAH I KNOW!. That's the point why did you pick this job is so dull it's mostly just Beowolves and Ursa with a few boarbatusk thrown in. Anyone could do this!" Clearly he thought highly of his own skills. "Not to mention the pay sucks." he seemed to pout at that.
"Look. Jett we've just graduated we're not allowed to go on high risk missions right away besides this has been on the list for a while we can't let anymore people from the village nearby get hurt. Right?" she spoke slowly and calmly as if she was explaining something to a particularly slow child.
Apparently Jett was the kids name and it seemed that he didn't like being talked down to "Don't treat me like an idiot! we both know that we've done more difficult tasks in the past. besides is obvious why this no one has taken this mission yet." The tone of disgust clearly in his voice.
That was interesting apparently there was a reason not to take this job? Snake couldn't help but wonder why? luckily he didn't have to wonder long.
The woman responded "If you don't want me to treat you like a fool stop acting like one, when we were on those other assignments we were a team of four and had a skilled professional with us. Now it's just you and me so of course we have to start small." she made sure to stress her point by smacking him on the head "Hey!"
After that she sighed again "And yeah it's not hard to see why no one else took the job, humans don't really care much about Faunus but you know that why we got to lend a hand." she spoke well pulling on his ear "We gotta stick together right?"
Jett shook her hands off his ears but smiled afterwards. "Yeah I guess you're right still it's reasons like this that make the White Fang a popular alternative to a lot of Faunus y'know." he spoke well lazily looking around. The sun was pretty much gone by now there was only the faintest red hue in the sky.
"Let's set up camp and get a fire going" he started grinning "We can snuggle up under the stars how about it Cyan?" he raise his eyebrows suggestively as he spoke.
Once more the now named Cyan sighed and rolled her eyes "In your dreams racoon boy, go get firewood I'll set up the tent." the boy acted hurt and held his hand up to his heart "Shoot down again. You break my heart." her response was to point her gun at him, he quickly got the message and held his hands up in surrender.
"Gezz have a sense of humor." he said as he walked away into the forest.
That little conversation that Snake hand be privy to had given him some very useful information first he got a broad term for the creatures he had been fighting Grimm.
Next he found out the name of some of the subspecies Beowolf, Ursa and Boarbatusk he could guess which name went with which type.
Also he learned that humans with animal ears on their head were called faunus or the ears were at least part of the reason and apparently most humans didn't like them too much. not to mention some group called the White Fang.
All this information only really gave him more questions he still had no idea where in the world he was or why he'd never heard of these Grimm before or an entire race of people with animal ears. Was this all some bad dream or a hallucination? No. It was too real for something like that.
he let out a frustrated sigh.
"Don't move." he heard a familiar voice from behind and felt cold steel against his neck. It was the Jett guy. Snake cursed himself for getting so caught up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the kid approach him.
"Stand up!" The Racoon boy ordered. Venom followed the order he could still feel the steel on his neck now it seemed strangely hot against the cool night breeze. Just as Jett was about to speak again Snake quickly turned around, grabbed his arm and then throw him to the ground
"Urk!" His opponent let out a pained Grunt as his back slammed into the hard ground.
After that Snake grabbed his wrist and disarmed him. Once the sword was out of his hand Snake then Put pressure on Jetts wrist and forced him on to his stomach and just like before the kid let out a cry of agony. He wasn't an idiot though he knew that the woman named Cyan no doubt heard the commotion and was on her way.
Acting swiftly Snake dragged the boy to his feet and restrained with a choke hold after that he quickly turned them both around just in time to see Cyan raise her weapon. Jett was struggling but it proved to be quite useless.
"Jett! You okay!" she yelled with her weapon raised Pointed at them. "G-ck I'm fine shoot this guy! ack!" Snake tightened his grip around Jetts throat and looked towards the woman. he then ordered her "Drop your weapon!"
"Go to hell!" Was the instant reply. To show he was serious Snake drew his knife and brought it to the boy's neck "Now!" He could see her hesitating she obviously had no idea what to do in this situation.
"Don't listen to him!" Jett yelled back Venom decided to pressure her by starting to bring the knife down on the kid's neck. "Wait! All right! All right!" she shouted "Just stop." he motioned with his head to toss the gun away and she complied throwing it off to her left.
"CYAN! what are y-ack" snake cut him off by choking him "Shut up." turning back to the wolf girl "Next. The swords toss them." she seemed pretty pissed but once again she unsheathed the short dao's and threw them to her left. "What now?" she asked.
Snake reached into his equipment bag hoping to find some handcuffs that he kept incase something like this happened. However his hostage chose this moment to show that he had some skill. He used the second that he relaxed his grip to slip out of the hold and then tried to elbow Snake in the face.
Unfortunately for him Snake easily caught the blow and countered with a swift knee to the gut and then he followed it up with a powerful blow to the jaw courtesy of his bionic arm. The force of the blow was enough to knock him out.
Snake had to duck under one of the blades that his new opponent had thrown away earlier 'She's Fast!' That was an understatement she not only got her weapons back but managed to close the distance between them in seconds. Still his CQC training let him follow and dodge her attacks.
It would be a bad idea to use his gun in this situation as the noise could attract grimm. His eyes widened as he would not be able to escape from the next attack. Only the instincts that he obtained from years of training saved him, He instantly drew his knife and parried the strike that would have decapitated him. She was taken by surprise she hadn't expected him to be able to avoid that attack and know her guard was open. Snake not one to waste an opportunity quickly thrust his blade at her head, She managed to to escape with only a cut to the cheek. However she needed to raise her swords to block the follow up punch, there was a clang of metal as Venoms prosthesis clashed against her sword
The both jumped back to put some distance between each other, at some point during their encounter the sun had finally set and the moon's soft glow light up the area around them. It was the first time they both got a good look at each other without being distracted or their view being obstructed.
Snake noticed two new things about the wolf girl Cyan one her eyes seemed to glow an eerie yellow almost like an animal that was stacking its prey. The other thing that he couldn't believe he missed was that not only did she have the ears of a wolf, but the tail of one to, it was swaying lightly behind her. He was also surprised to see that the cut she received was gone, it was completely healed. 'How is that possible?' He asked himself.
Cyan on the other hand was more shocked instead of some veteran hunter or skilled man the person in front of her looked to be five years her younger. Yeah he looked like he had been though a lot with the eyepatch, scars and was that a horn sticking out of his head? Not only that the clang that she heard when he punched her swords didn't that mean his arm was metal? looking down she saw that yes his arm from the elbow down was fake. Who the hell was she fighting? A kid this young shouldn't be able to go toe to toe with a hunter even if she had just graduated.
"You're pretty good with those blades, but this is where the fight ends." Snake complemented before declaring that he was going to win soon.
"You sound pretty confident for someone who's spent most of their time dodging" she called his bluff with a smile spreading on her face.
Snakes response was to point to his cheek "At least I've hit you even if the evidence is gone now, speaking of which how you heal so fast?" Snake asked hoping she might tell him. Instead his comment just made her angry.
"Very funny asshole" she yelled and charged at him she swung the blade in her right hand hoping to cut him diagonally across the chest. Snake in response batted the swing across and away from his body with his bionic arm. Before ramming his right palm it her chin and sweeping her legs out from under her.
Cyan hit the ground hard and before she could react a fist slammed itself into her face and she was knocked unconscious.
After checking to make sure that they were both out cold Snake fished two pairs of handcuffs from his equipment pouch and cuffed both of them. Next he proceeded to drag them and their weapons back to the clearing. Then he decided to finish setting up their camp if he was lucky they would have food supplies.
Snake was now in the clearing sitting next to the fire that he made it didn't take that long to finish setting up their camp. He even managed to find food they had instant noodles that you just needed to boil in a pot of water, needless to say they were already cooking above the fire.
However it wasn't all good news Snake had discovered two things well his host were still unconscious. One was his reflection which he saw in the river as he was gathering water It wasn't the face of the 49 year old man it should be instead it was the face of a sixteen to seventeen year old.
It was still the face of the legendary soldier Big Boss it was just younger. His scars were all still there nothing really changed other than his height he went from 5'11 to 5'9, a fairly small change in fact he was kind of annoyed when he realized that he didn't grow much in his late teens.
The age thing he could deal with, he didn't understand it but he could deal with it. What he was having more trouble dealing with was the moon when he looked up instead of a full moon he was meet with a very literally half in that the thing had a huge bloody chunk out of it.
Did someone launch a nuke at it when he wasn't paying attention seriously what the hell was going on here?
needless to say he would have more than a few questions to ask his captive once they woke up which really shouldn't be long now, he pushed all of those thoughts out of his head, after all he needed to deal with another problem he was hungry and the noodles were done.
"Time to dig it" He spoke as a smile spread across his face it was going to be so good to eat again.
Well that's it for the first chapter It wasn't that amazing, But hey if you read it let me know what you think.
Also a few things I will say now is that the next chapter will end Snake's introduction to the world of RWBY but it will not be the start of cannon RWBY. I want to do a mini arc before that to get some plot points going. However I do plan on Having Snake enter Beacon at some point and interacting with the main cast, So look forward to that or hate me for it. Your call.
Let me know about any spelling or grammar errors if you spot them too. it's not really my strong point.
Thanks Later.
