Jack vs. Metal Gear Solid Part 1
By: Ben Cope
*Pew, Pew, Pew* Jack is playing Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection on his Sony PS3. He is on Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater with his difficulty on European Extreme. *YAWN!* "Boy, am I tired," Jack said sleepily. When he looks over at the clock, it is flashing and reads "12:30 a.m." That's the last thing Jack remembers before he falls asleep. Jack then has a dream, or that's what he thinks it is.
Jack is awoken by gunshots and people screaming. "AHHH!" Jack screamed when he awoke. "W-where am I?" Jack asks himself. Out of the corner of his eye, Jack notices a man. "Hello?" Jack asks the man. The man, now alerted, quickly turned around and pointed a Mk. 22 at him. Jack recognizes the man but doesn't remember his name.
"Jack?" the man asks Jack. Now, Jack remembered the man. It was his best friend Ben! "Ben?" Jack asked back to Ben. "Yo, bro," Ben replied like a gangster. "Where are we?" Jack asks Ben. "We are in Metal Gear Solid 3: SNAKE EATER!" Ben replied very concerned. "No, we're not. We can't be!" Jack replied to Ben, worried if he'd ever get home. "You're gonna need some guns if you wanna survive. I'll call up Snake now," Ben told Jack, as if he were in the military as a highly ranked soldier. "Snake, this is Corporal Cope, my friend, Private Oliver, got trapped in here with me. He needs guns. Could you find him some? Over," Ben told a man over the call. "Roger that, Corporal. Over and out," the man, supposedly Snake, replied over the call headset. "Come on. We're gonna need to find Snake. Snake, what is you're location? Over," Ben asked Snake over the headset. "Not sure. You might have to come find me. Over," Snake replied five minutes later. "Copy, Serge," Ben copied to Snake over his headset. "We're gonna need to keep moving to find Snake. Here," Ben says to Jack and hands him his Mk. 22 to keep Jack's defense at a stable level. And so, our two friends head out to find Snake in the Russian wilderness when the find themselves coming upon a cave and they enter. The cave is cold and dark so Ben lights up a torch. "Sure is cold in here," Jack told Ben, shivering. "Keep quiet. We don't know who or what is lurking about in this cave," Ben commanded Jack, whispering. Ben looks at his map and sees a bird's-eye view of the cave from the inside. "Come on," Ben commanded Jack. "If we want to survive, we should keep moving. What're you doing?! COME ON NOW!" And so, Jack and Ben kept on going so they could survive.
When Ben and Jack reached the river/lake in the big, cold, barren, dark cave, Jack saw a box floating in the air and spinning. "What's that?" Jack asked Ben, who is a Corporal. "That, Jack, is an item. Just go up to it and tell me what it is," Ben told Jack. So, Jack went up to the box and yelled to Ben," It's and RPG-7!" "Hold up," Ben said to Jack, now alerted. "We're not alone," Ben told Jack, quite alerted. "Hello?" Jack asked. "Who's there?" No answer. "You stay here. I'm gonna go have a look around."
