Big Boss

The sounds of chaos would shake up the counter where the picture of a much younger Naked Snake before he earned the title of Big Boss. The picture was taken back in 1964 during Operation Snake Eater by his former lover and ally, EVA. The rumble of a nearby explosion caused the picture to fall to the ground cracking the glass. What really woke up Big Boss was the sounds of gunfire and a roar. His eyes snapped open and he sprung up to action. Hopping off of his bed he shuffled over to the window and crack open the shades to see the image of a flying pterodactyl like creature zooming past his window letting out an ear piercing screech as it passed.

Big Boss cringed as he covered his ears and backed away from the window. "Argh, what the hell is that?!"

He thought to himself on how the last time he saw creatures like that was when he traveled to Isla Del Monstrua and fought against plenty of weird creatures that his child soldier Chico fantasized about. But something about this didn't sit right, it didn't seem like the same kind of creatures. Regardless he walked over to his counter and grabbed his Colt 1911 that laid idly on the desk. Sliding a loaded magazine and holstered it, next he reached to the side of the desk where his M16A1 that had an M203 attached to it. Picking it up he'd grab a loaded magazine and slam inside, racking the charging handle back he made that weapon condition 1. Making sure he had everything he needed charged outside of his room and ran down the hallways as fast as he could.

Making a quick turn he'd kick open the hallway door which led to the corridor. As he continued to sprint down the corridor which he noticed was empty but the noise of combat, screams, and animistic roars that would make the average man cringe was very present. His codec rang in the small bones of his right ear. Tapping his ear he'd recognize the sound of Kaz's voice any day.

"Snake!" Kaz screamed over the radio which was muffled over more gunfire and growls.

"Kaz! Where are you? I fall asleep for four hours and everything goes to shit? The hell is going on out there?!" Big Boss yells as he planted his back against the corner of a wall taking cover just in case any intruder or monster was in the area.

"You aren't going to believe this but just five minutes ago some huge vortex opened up in the sky and it was sucking some of our trucks, tanks, LAV's, you name it!" Kaz's brief was interrupted by him giving orders to direct the fireteam he was with. "Contact left! 300 meters, move up! Alligator prep the M60 and give some supporting fire to our left flank!"

From the background you can hear the MSF soldier yell out, "Aye sir!"

With that order followed, Kaz continued his sitrep. "While that was happening these monsters started flying out of the woodwork from the same vortex! They've been attacking us left and right. This makes Isla Del Monstruo looks like disneyland!"

"Do you think this could be Cipher's doing?" Big Boss asked as he peeked from behind the corner finding no one in sight.

"Don't know and don't care! Boss you need to get over here as fast as you can! Amanda is rounding up the rest of her Sandinistas in less then two mikes. We need all the help we can get!" Kaz replied as he returned with his own firepower.

"I'm on my way. Hold down the fort, Kaz!" Big Boss ended the codec call and took a quick look around the corridor he resided in. Noticing a short cut he went out the emergency door which led to a stairway. Instead of climbing the stairs he hopped off the ledge and leaped to the ventilation shafts. Sprinting on the shafts to get to the left side of the barracks he'd leap once more to the regular stairway and hop off of that landing on the ground with a roll. Shouldering his rifle he'd break into a dead sprint upon catching his footing.

Following the war cry of Amanda and her troops that pledged their allegiance to Big Boss he turned towards that area sprinting across the bridge. He could hear them loud and clear all the way from here. "Venceremos! "Libertad o' Muerte!"

Upon following the war cry he could spot everyone. Kaz, Amanda, and the troops. They were taking cover by a crashed 7 ton supply truck firing at the multitudes of monsters that tried to attack them. He slid between Kaz and Amanada getting a good look at both of them. Kaz's green fatigues were stained with spots of darker green and red blood while Amanda's brunette locks of hair and her yellow scarf was also stained with the same crossed colors of blood.

Amanda was in her black tank top with her yellow scarf tied around her neck in a similar fashion to Kaz. She wore the same olive drab trousers that Kaz wore but her blouse was tied around her waist for comfort found in her tank top. Her jade eyes looked over to see Big Boss next to her. "Snake!" she said.

"Kept you waiting huh?" Big Boss said with a grin as he took a peek over the trucks hood to see a rather large tree looking monster with a huge month and tentacles sprouting all over it's body. Not even caring about it's disgusting appearence he lit it up with full automatic fire from his M16A1. Kaz would look up and shake his head as he joined him in shooting at the beast.

"A little too long if you ask me, Boss!" Kaz said in jest. The blond would come back down to take cover as well as Big Boss when the creature spit out a corrosive acid at them.

"Amanda, where's Chico?" Big Boss asked as he changed his magazine.

"Chico ran off with some of my men to see if the non combatants were safe! They are going to take all non combatants to the R&D hanger where it's safe." Amanda said as she prepped a grenade and flung it over the truck towards the huge towering monster. Big Boss instantly thought of Cecile, Huey Emmerich, and Dr. Strangelove hoping that they didn't get caught in the crossfire. He got to admit and admire the young one's courage to put them before anything else.

"Kid's got heavy stones on him...at least he's taking all of that energy from Paz's betrayal and putting it to good use." Big Boss said regarding the 12 year old child soldier that is Amanda's younger brother. It took a while to finally accept him as a soldier and not a little brother. This was one of the actions right here by letting the boy go off this rescue job. Smiling at this he'd pop back after the grenade's explosion noticing the tree like monster fell to it's feet. he'd watch three wolf like monsters take it's place and charge at them. Popping them with a quick burst from his rifle they went down.

"If this keeps going on we might have to deploy ZEKE to take care of these bastards! We lost most of our AFV's and choppers. I'm not too sure about the status of our ships and cruisers." Kaz said to Big Boss as he propped back into cover.

Big Boss grunted at the thought of putting Metal Gear ZEKE in danger. Yes, it would wipe the floor with pretty much all these monsters but he doesn't want to put Mother Base's ace-in-the-hole in too much danger. Especially after he had to fight their own creation when Paz hijacked it and used it against Big boss. But his thoughts would be interrupted when sounds of the heavens and skies above them dividing. Amanda stood up and pointed up to the blackened skies.

"Look! The vortex is getting bigger!" She said. Everyone's attention drifted upwards to see the vortex indeed get bigger and start sucking in more trucks and now crates and large quadcons of raw materials that Mother Base salvage from the seafloor. But it didn't stop there, it actually started sucking the foundation of Mother Base itself. The ground beneath Big Boss, Kaz, Amanda, and the troops around them shook as they tried to catch their footing as unbelievably that the whole offshore hexagonal plant was being lifted into the air. Big Boss watched over the edge from the distance the water's below weren't there anymore and now they were in the sky.

Amanda screamed as she held onto the truck that they use for cover fearing that she was going to get sucked in as well.

"AMANDA!" Kaz yelled as he grabbed onto her and held onto the truck as well. "Boss! Hold on tight!"

Big Boss tried to shuffle over to them but all of a sudden a piece of debris from all the chaos hit him from the back of his head. Feeling his legs go limp he fell face first on the deck and his eye blinked and his vision was blurred. In the blur he watched a lighting bolt strike the satellite dish of their Command Center as well watching Kaz and Amanda holding onto to each other. Kaz seeing Big Boss on the ground he called out to him but Big Boss couldn't answer. He continued to watch the blond sunglasses wearing second in command crawl and grabbed onto his collar to hold onto him. Feeling himself being dragged by Kaz this would be interrupted by a strong gust pulling Big Boss away once more smacking him against the wall of the nearby building that they were close to. Once he landed again on his face, he was out. All he could see was darkness and the calling out of the name Snake and Boss.

"There's only room for one Snake and one Boss..."

The only words before he heard before he passed out that rang in his head was his mentor and spiritual mother The Boss's last words to him before he shot her dead with her own weapon. After that there was not a sound in Big Boss's head. Just nothing.
