- High Speed-Rapid Deployment Diamond Dog Cargo plane -

The Diamond Dog held himself on the plane with his own two feet as He peered down at the clouds and the countryside of Afghanistan. He tugged at his parachute softly as a voice behind him informed him that He was to jump in one minute. Much to the Diamond Dog's Excitement and distaste.

The Pale, Caucasian Male was a tall man of Six Feet, Six Inches. He bore Short, Black hair that stood up into the air, with short strands all along his Jaw and Chin. Nearly Red eyes gazing downwards with determination as He prepared to jump, to either Death or Glory. With the Comrade behind him yelling the 'To-Go' order, He tipped over.

The air slammed against his face and torso as the Ground eagerly rushed to him, a small smile decorating his face as He started to count to ten. The Diamond Dog could already see what He had been called for. Soviets were laying down fire onto a two story building. That building, which undoubtedly contained Big Boss. Venom Snake. On Ten, He pulled his parachute.

He was lucky that no-one caught wind of his decent. As the Diamond Dog touched onto the ground, He rolled his shoulders and smirked as his equipment landed with a power crash a couple yards away.

-Venom Snake-

He kept both his own head, and that of the VIP's down as a literal bullet hail rained all around them. Leaving the building, would be suicide. Staying inside, would eventually turn into suicide. So Snake did the only logical thing. He called for some Diamond Dog assistance.

That particular assistance made itself clear with the sound of one explosion, then a second that started a chorus of screams and shouts that redirected the gunfire away from himself. It seems that his Buddy has arrived on scene.

After several minutes, all had gone quiet and Snake had the VIP over his shoulders. He left the building slowly and examined the damage carefully. The building was torn up, even for being built of stone, especially near the windows and doors. Yet, the true carnage was outside. Russian troops were torn apart by various explosions and Machinegun fire. Two troop transports were up in flames and any outside fortifications were demolished.

A Tall Male was walking up to Snake slowly. A confident smirk on his face, a gesture that mixed well with the Battle Dress He wore and the LAW He held over his shoulder. Snake walked over to a Jeep that was left more-or-less undamaged and buckled the VIP into the backseat. He and the Diamond Dog got into the front seat as Snake set a Fulton system onto the front of the jeep and set it dangling in the air. The Diamond Dog turned and smirked at Snake, and right before the Fulton pulled them up into the air, He asked... "Kept you waiting, Huh?"
