Deserts of the Unknown Side Op 2: The shell game descends to hell
A/N: I do not own MGS or MLP and these one shots have no real tie in to the main story but both will lead into a second story
A/U: This is a one-off series of events, this chapter is one recommended by my editor.
In the event of Mother base not becoming the major source of power that it was known to be, Cipher managed to invade the base of operations, destroying everything that had been built up, killing the staff onboard… Save for the few survivors out on combat deployment missions. This is their story.
"I swear to god, if you do what I think you are going to do…"
Insert Law and Order gavel sound here ~
"Oh, you son of a-!"
Right, onto MY little setup of hellish proportions!
'Don't disappoint them… You know what will happen if you do."
Put the damn saws away, I guarantee this story will be one hell of a ride!
Hovering over the storm churned seas in a black helicopter, her reddish-brown hair tucked into a ponytail and the materials needed for a swim in easy reach, a young lady with her left eye covered by an eye patch and bandana, looked at the fox patch in front of her and just quietly nodded before Scarlett said, a grin creeping its way up her face, with her voice being a steel fist wrapped in a velvet gauntlet
"My mission is simple. I will go in, kill them all and ensure that Eli is my bitch and be home all before dinner. So do me a favor and keep the patch safe and the food warm" and before anyone could say anything about the suicide mission status, Scarlett jumped out into the water, her wetsuit battling to keep her body temperature up before climbing up the metal girder before landing down with her boots thudding down, her steps muffled and as soon as she landed, Scarlett brought her rifle up and fired three rounds into the guards head before helping him over the rail and into the bath of Manhattan bay. Quickly moving from the drop point, Scarlett kept moving until she saw something that she would forever wish to erase from her mind, a man with light blond hair and blue eyes turning around and revealing the sight of him stark naked, making scarlett instantly wish she could go back in time to have a time where she never saw his ass. Quickly moving albeit with a bit of distance between her and the naked man she soon caught his name as one of the men died, choking out
"Raiden you bastard". Quickly closing the dying man's eyes Scarlet kept her eyes on the prize, finding snake and ensuring his survival; although she knew it would be hell for her. Quickly moving around following Raiden, she saw someone who looked very familiar starting to move and decided to follow the boss and saw Snake getting into a fight with Big Boss and she dropped to a knee and lined up the perfect head shot and fired before seeing the target she was aiming at move. Seeing the copper jacket spark off the pipes, she instantly dove out of the way from a fusillade of return fire as all of a sudden she was trapped by the Russian mercenaries that snake had pointed out and was steeled into action by Liquid Ocelot saying
"Well you are just a little girl and I used to feel bad about killing you but not this time" and he then turned and killed the Russian and the marine commander before turning into liquid remarking
"You are the weakest of us all dear sister and really shouldn't live to see the men we have become, so I will kill you quickly" and at that moment Raiden swung out with his sword causing her to roll forward and snap off three shots seeing two hitting liquid in the chest and the third burying itself in Raiden's leg as she knew the two would try to kill her for different reasons. Quickly turning Scarlett ran and threw herself off the tanker, having fired one round hitting a fuel pipe at the same time as the metal gear she and snake had been sent to photograph breached the ship.
Not even bothering to watch as she knew she would branded a terrorist, Scarlett swam to Manhattan and hit up one of her caches that she and the others had maintained before starting to blend in with the populace and heading toward the closest military base.
Two Years later
Having been operating under the call sign poisoned rose, Scarlett moved toward the platform with Pilskin and stiilman, although she separated as the two met up with Raiden and she muttered to herself
"Someday I should tell Raiden the truth" as she gently rubbed her belly. As Scarlett moved with her mk23 sweeping the damp walk way just to make sure that no one got the drop on the unit, she started to move and grabbed the metal rail before going over the side to try and see if there were any explosives that could pose a threat and as her boots shattered the surface tension, she was knocked under by a muffled shockwave, as the radio choked out
"Damn it fatman just detonated one strut. We have to grab the others" and Scarlett started kicking toward the other packs of explosives, smelling cologne, a very odd smell in new York harbor, before looking up and grabbing the charge, using a serrated combat divers knife to let the explosives fall below her. Quickly seeing it drop, she quickly jumped out of the water, her clothes soaked and dripping on the metal with a soft plop, Scarlett reunited with Pilskin, although she assumed that a boy was following her but she had many other issues, namely ensuring the terrorists who were on the platform met their makers in a gory way.
Quickly moving using her rifle in a style similar to a navy seal, Scarlett swung and swept around the corner and was instantly greeted by a welcoming committee of hot lead shredding the terrain around her. Feeling that she would die soon, Scarlett thumbed the spoon off a grenade and underhanded it, catching a round into the leg causing her to scream in pain. As the fragmentation went off, the air suddenly changed from gunfire to screaming. Slowly pulling herself through the blood, Scarlet found one of the corpses had a medical kit and screamed as she pulled the bullet out, using the morphine the dead man had before pushing herself up and continued her mission. Quickly sweeping through the last area, Scarlett saw Raiden and solidus fighting and as she leveled her M4 at him, Chris landed before sliding next to his friend and the two started to fire as Raiden hollered to scarlet
"I thought you were pregnant" and she smiled before saying, a laugh escaping her lips, "For your sake id hope not" and Chris fired on both of them seeing raiden jerk and drop before Scarlet tried to grab his rifle to end him and Richard threw him overboard. As Scarlett looked at Richard she yelled out
"What the hell" and all he did was say "We cant kill him yet. He has to fuck up his time line then we will kill him but for now we have to worry about solidus" before they cleared the platform and escaped all the while being branded terrorists, a moniker they wore with pride.
