MANHATTAN DOCKS, 0100 hrs. Snake snuck around the docks, holding his silenced SOCOM Pistol. He did have his FA-MAS, but he preferred the SOCOM and didn't want to make as much noise. He was hiding behind a crate when he heard a voice that filled him with fury and, surprisingly, terror. "I want you to make sure that no one gets in here. Solidus has arranged all of this so that it looks like a police cover-up. One mistake and I'll have you executed." Snake's Codec rang. "This is Snake." "Snake, it's me. I found only one person who was working with Houseman, but he isn't a problem anymore." "Who is it?" Snake asked, anxious to find out so he could take the bastard down. "George Sears. Solidus." "Damn! I knew I couldn't trust the kid to take care of him." Otacon looked a bit confused. "You see, that's the strange thing. It says in the Pentagon files that Ocelot's formed a new group of Patriots, and that they cloned Solidus to help out." "But by the time the authorities got ahold of him, he was dead." Now Snake looked confused also. Otacon had an almot horrified look on his face. "Remember that gene therapy stuff Naomi told you was done to Gray Fox?" "Yeah? So..oh, my god." "I know. The good new is that being a cloned, revived uh.thing makes him weaker." "So, I'll just bust in guns blazing and take down Ocelot and Solidus." Snake said, as happy as ever. He turned off the Codec. Snake took the silencer off his SOCOM, and stood up from behind the crate. One of the three guards noticed Snake, and could just make out "Hey!" before Snake opened fire upon the helpless guards, who fell like bricks. Moving around the bloody, dead bodies, Snake picked another SOCOM and lots of ammo. He made his way beyond the entrance, and came to an area near the boats. There were around a dozen guards in that area, not including reinforcements. Snake took out his FA-MAS and started firing, spraying bullets everywhere. As guards tried to overcome Snake and his ultra-powerful weapon, they soon fell due to a bloody death. Blood, flesh, and screams filled the air, and eventually Snake just fired back and forth instead of aiming. A Sergeant hid behind a set of crates, watching his men get horribly killed. He spoke into his radio. "Boss, Snake's here! Get the girl and escape in Arsenal! I'll- aahhhhh! Shit! He got me!" Snake stopped firing, and ran through the dead bodies, holding both of his SOCOMs. Suddenly, he came upon the end of the docks, and saw Arsenal Gear and Ocelot. "OCELOT!!" Snake yelled, opening fire with both of his pistols. Every single bullet whizzed by him. Snake remembered the electromagnetic field he had. Suddenly, Ocelot turned around and Snake saw thathe was holding someone. Someone he knew well.
