Chapter 3: Take the Fight To Them

"Alright, here's the gist of things." Snake said as the team gave him his full attention. "Liquid's got five armed guards in the front of the White House while twelve snipers are on the roof. On every building around the White House, there are four more snipers and six more guards. This is where we hit first. Sonic, I need you to take out the guards in all the buildings in the general area and then return here, understand?" Snake ordered while Sonic saluted.

"You got it, boss." Sonic said sarcastically as he took off and then returned in ten seconds. "All done. Those guys weren't so tough." Sonic said with a smirk towards Snake.

"That's just what they want you to think, blue boy." Snake said as he turned his attention from Sonic to the others. "Alright, now we don't have to worry about being picked off on the way to the building. But we've still got to worry about the guards on the front lawn and on the White House roof." Snake said while pondering a way to pick off the snipers and guards.

"Uh, hello!? I'm the fastest thing alive! I can dodge anything! How do you think I've managed to stay alive so long?" Sonic asked while doing a little pose.

"Good point. Sorry, I'm just not used to working with a lot of super-powered people before. Alright Sonic, take'em out." Snake ordered once again as Sonic ran off and knocked out every guard on the White House exterior property. Sonic then returned to the group.

"Alright, lets get'em!" Snake yelled as they all jumped off the nearby rooftop they were hiding on and landed on the street below. After getting onto the White House lawn, Snake huddled them back up. "Alright, there are four entrances. Sonic and Samus will take the north, Fox and I will take the south, the Mario Bros. will cover the west, and Link will get the east. Good luck and godspeed." Snake finished.

The heroes then went their separate ways and prepared for the worst.
