Metal Gear Solid: Path of the Phoenix
Chapter 1: The New Encounter
Meryl and Snake were walking down a hallway, guns at the ready when Snake suddenly heard a sound above them, in the ventilation system above their heads.
"Do you hear that?" Snake whispered to Meryl.
"Hear what?"
Snake pointed upwards and Meryl understood. They stood quietly for a moment and Meryl heard was Snake was talking about.
"What is that?" wondered Meryl.
"Let's keep moving, we shouldn't waste any time."
Snake continued walking but Meryl stood still. Snake turned around and looked at her in a way that said 'c'mon we have to move' when suddenly someone fell from a grate in the ceiling and landed on the floor. The person stood up and looked at Snake and Meryl and everyone pointed guns at each other. The person in front of them was wearing a ski mask and a sneaking suit very similar, (if not the same) to Snake's. She wasn't a rookie either; her hands weren't shaking at all even with the weight of a SOCOM pointed at Snake's head. On her back was a sniper rifle and she had many knives on her thighs and calves.
"Who are you?" demanded Snake.
"Are you Snake?"
"Depends, who you are."
"Very well, my name is Phoenix."
"Phoenix?"
"Now, are you Snake?"
Snake hesitated for a moment then realized that he should probably answer soon.
"Yes."
Phoenix lowered her gun a bit and sighed with relief.
"Excellent! Now let's get moving."
"Hold on a second." Meryl moved to beside Snake
"Who do you think you are! You can't just come here and start giving orders!"
"Well actually I can. I've been given orders by Colonel Campbell to help Snake with his mission."
"Do you have any proof?" Meryl said, almost demandingly.
Then they all heard ringing in their ears.
"Snake, this is Colonel Campbell."
"Colonel! Do you know who this woman is?" Snake asked, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Yes and she's telling the truth. We sent her in shortly after you met up with Meryl."
"How did she get here so fast?"
"Let me answer that one. I actually arrived at the same time you did, just in a different location. My orders were clear: stay put until otherwise specified. So, I waited. Then the Colonel tells me to go in, find you, and make sure that you stay on track of your mission."
"And Snake."
"Yes Colonel?" Snake sounded upset.
"You are to follow her orders is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
They turned off their codecs.
"Well then how about we get moving?" Phoenix turned and walked down the hallway.
