METAL SLUG: Lillie's Story. Episode 2.
Aether Paradise, January 9th, 2018.
Several Aether employees were in groups as they were marched towards the Rebel prison ships, with several Rebel Riflemen guarding them. Two soldiers were on the side, watching this unfold.
"Wow, to think how costly that fight was.", one of them said. The other soldier let out a large breath, and turned to his friend.
"Can't agree with you more, but it was worth it. We needed this place to use the Pokémon here for the invasion. We couldn't just invade the islands without the main weapons.", he replied. A small barrel rolled in front of the two soldiers. They looked at it suspiciously. Then, a Rebel helmet flew out of a dark corner, making the two jump in fear. They pulled their pistols and pointed them at the corner.
"You, come out with your hands up!", yelled one soldier. A man in a red vest, greenish-tan pants, and a white bandana on his forehead snuck up behind them, and shot the two in their backs. Another group of Rebel soldiers turned around and saw this.
"Hey, that's him! OPEN FIRE!", yelled one of the soldiers. The soldiers aimed their weapons at him, only for a zooming figure to cut them down. The soldiers fell, dead from the knife cuts. The figure who cut them was wearing a white shirt with a vest covering it, just like the first figure. Except the vest was yellow, his pants were completely green, and he had a backpack and sunglasses on. He pulled out his pistol and shot down another group of Rebel soldiers who were alerted. After those guys fell dead, the two men freed the Aether employees, who started fighting the remaining Rebel soldiers. The two men met up.
"Wow, I actually didn't think that would work.", said the one in the red vest. "You never say that, Marco. Why do you say that?", said the one in the yellow vest. Marco scratched his head. "To be completely honest, Tarma, I don't know. I didn't think we would be going to Alola to hunt for Morden. I came here when I was little. Best vacation of my life.", Marco replied. Tarma clapped his hands jokingly. "Congratulations! You ARE the same. You just had too much salad.", Tarma said, jokingly. Marco laughed.
"What's so wrong about salad? I think it's pretty good!", Marco said. Tarma straightened his sunglasses. "Oh, nothing. Just a thought.", he replied. Their walkie talkies made noises, static-like. Marco picked up his. "Hello?", he talked into it.
"Hey, guys, did you find Lusamine?", said a voice on the other end. Marco looked at Tarma. "Well? That was your job.", Marco said. Tarma looked confused. "What do you mean? I thought that was YOUR job!", He said. Marco's eyes widened. "But if we didn't agree who's job it was, then…", before Marco could finish, sounds of a helicopter being activated were heard on the top of the building. They looked at each other.
"Oh no.", they both said. They picked up two "Heavy Machine Guns" from two dead soldiers, reloaded them, and ran inside the building. Wherever that helicopter was going, it wasn't good news.
Melemele Island, January 9th, 2018.
A group of Rebel soldiers were on the other side of the door leading into Lillie's room. One soldier was holding Dynamite, so I don't have to explain what THAT guy's thinking.
One soldier walked up to his men. "Alright! Our main objective is in that there room! All we need to do is to kill her, burn her remains, and then we get to go to Starbucks for the rest of the day! Coffee's on me!", he yelled. His fellow soldiers cheered. A soldier in a mecha suit marched up to the door, and punched it open. (His mecha suit DOES have a super arm 😉)
As the doors swung open, the soldiers charged in, but found the room empty. The leading soldier looked confused. "Where'd she go?", he asked himself. Another soldier rose his hand. "Yes, Jacobs?"
"Can we go to McDonalds instead?"
Outside the mansion, Melemele Island, January 9th, 2018.
A ruffling in bushes was followed by a gunshot. Two U.S. Marines were looking at the bush. "All clear!", one said. Oh, they both had silencers on their guns, by the way, so they won't really have to worry about being caught.
Lillie stepped out of the bush holding Snowy, followed by another Marine. "I still don't understand how you found me.". Lillie asked the Marines. The leading officer looked back at her. "Of course, we found you! Your mother gave us your EXACT location. Plus, I don't mean to brag, but we got you out pretty good!", He said. (Flashback alert!)
Earlier that day…
The Marines where climbing the wall of the outside to Lillie's room. There, she was still petrified with fear, while Oliver was holding his Glock 18, ready to defend her at all costs. The Marines jumped in the room, startling Lillie and Oliver. Said house worker pointed his gun at the three. "Who are you?!", he asked.
"We're the United States Marines! You're coming with us!", the Commanding Officer said. His nametag said "Arthur King." The two other Soldier's names were "Larry" and "Pince." Lillie was still frightened, and Snowy was giving the Soldiers and aggressive look. "But, what if they-?!", she was cut off by Oliver. "Miss, they're not going through any of us!", he said. A bang on the door startled Lillie even more than before. "But, they sound like they could get through any minute!", she said. Arthur bent down and put his hand on her shoulder. It didn't really matter anyways, because Lillie immediately hugged him.
"Thank you for coming!", she said, crying while doing so. Arthur patted her back. "It's going to be okay. You're safe with us."
Back to the present…
Oliver was still back at the mansion, Glock 18 in hand. He had already managed to leave the room via the Ventilation System. Too bad that the Rebels put poisonous gas in the vents after he left. The Rebel plan was to kill Lillie and anyone else there, burn their remains, and then regroup to await further orders. But since they couldn't find her, they couldn't regroup, which meant that they could be giving the Forces of Alola to counterattack.
Our heroes' plan was for Lillie to leave with the Marines, and for Oliver to kill as many men as he could, before they met back up at Bearer's rock, where a Battle between Japanese, U.S., and Alolan soldiers took place in 1944, during World War 2. It was part of the Island-hopping campaign, but Alola was taken care of by General Douglas MacArthur, even though it wasn't on his path to the Philippines. Go figure.
Oliver jumped two soldiers, shot them up dead, and made a mad dash for the door. A rope wrapped around his leg, pulling him away from said exit. When he finally stopped, he looked up to see a man in a moustache, a French-Commandant hat, or whatever THAT was, and in a gray uniform. Oliver looked at his badge, and his eyes widened.
General Douglas Morden.
To be continued and hopefully not delayed… AGAIN…
And, here we are! You might've notices that I have the paragraph borders, or whatever they're called. I'm so sorry about the delay AGAIN! Even I'm mad. :I But anyways, I might've forgotten to say that the South Park characters will be making an appearance in the Adventures Continue story, but they unfortunately aren't able to cuss or make jokes about ethnic groups. Sorry for that inconvenience, but you know what isn't gone? Kenny dying. It's an actual thing in the show, look it up. On another note, the Character Stories, like this one that you're reading right now, is NON-CANON to my other fanfics. Also, expect that Land Before Time/Planet of the Apes fanfiction as soon as I finish Part 2 of Reunion in Adventures Continue! Thank you, and Happy Reading!
