Gunfire...Explosions...Humming...A man with a bandana. I awoke with a jolt of pain running up and down my leg. Slumped against the wall, I looked over to the side of the blood splattered and bullet-filled room. I saw my rocket arm leant up against the broken generator. I pushed the rubble of Outer Heaven off of me and tried to get up with no prevail. I went down hard. Shit, my leg was shot,that bastard, David got me good. I grabbed my prosthesis and attached it with a click, I'd need both "arms" for this. I began to limp out of the room. I tried to radio Boss. No reply. Only a message which said Goodbye. Son of a bitch! Big Boss used me to hide Zanzibar Land's base. I was sick of it, since I found my true identity. After getting out of the remains of the room, sunlight spilled onto my face. I tried to wipe the blood off of me, only to feel my right eye, my eye-patch wasn't on me. Heh. Fuck it. I don't need an eye-patch. I'd be more of myself. I felt someone or something, with me. I turned and pulled my combat knife, began to tell the person to freeze but stopped in my tracks. It was Pequod,holding his side, his fatigues splattered in blood, he'd been shot in the side, and beside him was DD. He cocked his head and barked in a way of surprise. I was surprised myself, how I lived through that. I turned my attention back to Pequod, he had trouble standing, due to blood loss. He gasped "Boss, your alive?" I simply told him that we'd turn our attention to that later and we both needed medical attention, I took out my medical spray, I only had enough to fully heal one, I decided to use it on Pequod. He was shot in the rib after all. He'd be safe...for now, the medical spray only post-poned the effects. He helped me move, we looked for a vehicle,damn it. We found nothing, but then DD barked and looked off into the distance, there was a lone jeep. I probably couldn't see it as I only had my left eye. We made our way over to it, Pequod got in the driver seat, I got in the back to rest my leg, DD by my side, We drove while talking, I asked Pequod how'd he survive his helicopter crash, he told me he fell out after the helicopter door's armour was shot through and he fell out, luckily landing on a dead body, he hid in a dumpster until it blew over, he found DD resting there, probably David moved him there, he must care for dogs, he came out with DD and found me. I then apologised for almost killing him. In some sort of way to make up for it, I told him how Solid Snake "killed" me, I would be dead if I had not've had my Kevlar vest. I then continued to tell him how Big Boss betrayed us, and how I left, I then proceeded to take out a cigar and smoke it. I grew quite fond of them, while attempting to be Big Boss,that is... I reflected on my MSF days. Pequod then asked where do we go after this, and to this I only had one thought, Afghanistan, then Cuba. It was time to find Quiet.
