Seems like only three people are going to review this story… I'm used to this sort of thing already, so it's all right.
BTW, I made a mistake in the previous chapter. Wario should say, "With a meeting like this, I wouldn't mind coming everyday." It's fixed now.
Chapter 6
Combat Snake
The four rebels that escaped from the elevator full of burp smells gasped for fresh air while rolling on the floor in pain. "Gasp! Ack!"
Yoshi went up to them and said, "Sorry about that."
A rebel looked at him and said, "How dare you use such a lowly technique! We will get you for this!" And then all four of them disappeared again. "Let's see if you can find us with our cloaking devices on!"
"If I can't see you, I can just sniff you out," Yoshi said.
Then four guns appeared floating in air and began to open fire. Yoshi and Pikachu quickly ran back and jumped behind a desk to avoid getting shot. "Good thing we can see their weapons, otherwise it would've been tougher!" Yoshi said. He reached for the pokeball around his neck and tossed it into the air. "Go, Lucario!"
Lucario landed onto the table and held up the back of his hands and when the bullets hit the spikes on the back of his hands, they bounced off. He then placed his hand together and formed a blue energy ball and fired it at the group of hovering guns. The energy ball struck the middle of them and blew the invisible rebels aside, causing their cloaking devices to malfunction and regain visibility. "Ow!"
Lucario then jumped at one of the rebels and grabbed him by the face and spun and tossed him behind him and knocked down another rebel. The third rebel was going to shoot Lucario, but Yoshi dropped down onto him suddenly and flattened him. Pikachu jumped out from behind the table and fired a beam at the last rebel and knocked him out.
ZAP!!
"That's done with, I think," Pikachu said.
"We sure make a great team! Thanks for the help, son!" Yoshi said to Lucario as he called him back into his ball.

Elsewhere, Captain Falcon and Samus went through a building carefully knowing that their presence is already known throughout the whole place. They came up to a door that looked to be very futuristic, if you know what I mean. Samus inspected the door and saw a slot of sorts next to it. "The card key must do the trick," she thought, and she got out the card key that she took from Running Man and swiped it across the slot, causing the door to open.
"I was thinking of breaking it down myself," CF said. "But this is a better way, I guess."
They went inside quickly and hugged the wall and stayed in the darker areas of the room. Suddenly, the wall next to them burst open and a strong man in shades stepped in. "Dang! Someone spotted us!" Samus cursed.
"And he sure has the power to break down that wall!" CF said. "Let me deal with him!" And got up and ran to the man and threw a punch right into his stomach. The impact came really hard to the man's body, but there was a loud thud as CF's fist struck him. CF pulled back and thought, "This guy sure knows how to work out."
The man walked forward and swung his fist that CF ducked down, and he did a sweep kick that hit him in the legs and knocked him onto the floor, and then CF leaped onto his body and stomped his stomach hard.
STOMP!
While Samus watched them fight, another crashing sound is heard from behind and when she turned to look, she saw another identical-looking man coming out from the busted wall! "What?! They look identical!" Samus thought.
CF turned to look at the newcomer and said, "His twin brother, perhaps?" But then he noticed the one in front of him standing back up. "Guess you really do work out a lot!" The man threw his fist forward and CF blocked it with both hands, but the force of the punch was so strong that he flew backwards and went through the wall as well as leaving a clean hole on it.
CRASH!
Samus quickly backed off from the new man as he slammed down his fist on her and she quickly scanned him, and the results were surprising. "Bloody Brad… An android with superhuman strength," she said to herself. "That would apply to the other one. I have no hesitations this way." She landed from her jump and fired a super missile into the body of the Bloody Brad and blasted him backwards. The explosion was very powerful, but the android managed to land on his feet, but his artificial skin was burned and one could see the mechanics inside him.
CF came into the room from the hole and said, "That was a good punch you got there, so let me show you my punch!" He made a running start for the other Bloody Brad and leaped into the air and dove towards him with his fist on fire. "Falcon Punch!"
SMAAAAAAASH!!
The powerful punch smashed the android into the side of the room with such a force that all the stuffs lying around where blown even if they didn't get hit directly. "Ha! How'd you like my punch?" CF asked.
The android slowly got back up to reveal that its face was burned away by the punch, and in place was a robotic face similar to that of a skeleton's. CF was surprised by this and said, "So you're a robot! That explains your immense power."
The android dashed forward very fast and tried to hit CF with a shoulder bash. CF stepped aside and quickly reached for its arm, pulled him back, and tossed him over his shoulder in a judo manner.
Meanwhile, Samus rolled into a ball to avoid getting punched by the other Bloody Brab and quickly rolled to a safer place before getting back on foot. She latched her grapple beam onto the android's body and flung it into the air, smashing it against the ceiling. The android fell back down and landed on top of a bomb that Samus planted when she was in ball form and was propelled into the air by the explosion, where it took another missile fired by Samus right into the head.
BANG!!
The android fell down, but managed to get back up despite having a badly disfigured head. Samus wasted no time in charging up her arm cannon and fired a powerful plasma beam into the opening that was created previously on the body. The Bloody Brad was damaged greatly after taking the hit to that spot; its body smoked and let loose electricity, and then in a burst, the android exploded into two pieces.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!
The remaining Bloody Brad got up to face CF again. The CF showed no mercy and grabbed his face and then kneed him in the guts over and over, battering it badly. He then jumped into the air with the android in his grasp and shouted, "Falcon Dive!"
BANG!!
The explosion resulted in the android flying backwards and crashing violently onto the floor and it was badly damaged. However, the android managed to get back again despite all this. "This guy sure is tough…" CF said.

Wario and Mario came up to a futuristic-looking door. "What a funny door," Wario said.
Mario looked at the door and noticed a slot next to it and said, "Theez door looks like-a da kind that-a require a card key. Too bad we don't-a have one."
"We don't need that," Wario said, and then he backed off and charged forward and forcefully rammed down the door with a shoulder bash.
The door was smashed forward and it crashed into the back of the Bloody Brad and sent it propelling forward. CF and Samus leaped out of the way as the android and the door crashed into a wall, and the android stopped moving for good afterwards.
"Never mind-a about da card key, I guess…" Mario said.
"Hey! It's you guys!" CF said to the Italian duo.
"What are you doing here?" Wario asked.
"That's not important," Samus said. "Good to know that you are all right."
"Have you guys found out anything?" CF asked them.
"Yes, and a big-a one!" Mario replied, and he explained everything he heard at the auditorium to them.
"That's some shocking news to hear!" CF gasped after hearing this.
"Big Boss is on the side of the rebels and Gamfax has been recovered and is being used to power the Metal Gear?! I can't believe it!" Samus said in shock.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's destroy this Metal Gear thing before the rebels use it!" Wario said.
"But we do not know where Metal Gear, and we need to know more about it too before we actually fight it. Otherwise things will be tougher," Samus told him.
"I'd rather just beat the living daylights out of it until it keels over."
"You never plan your actions, do you?"
"What we need to know the most now is the location of Metal Gear," CF said. "Once that is destroyed, the rebels will no longer be a threat."
"Right-a, so let's search for eet fast!" Mario suggested.

Morden was walking around in his office in frustration. "Darn it! Can't my men do anything about those goddamn Smashers?! It's only ten people! How much trouble can they bring me?"
"Your army can't do much to a group of four previously, so it's no surprise," Big Boss said to him.
"Don't bring up those damned Peregrine Chickens! They've done enough trouble for me already, and now these Smashers are adding oil into fire!"
A rebel came into the room and saluted before reporting, "Sir, the Bloody Brads have been destroyed!"
Morden was shocked and angry to hear this. "What the?! Argh! Those Smashers are far exceeding my expectations! Sooner or later they're going to find and destroy Metal Gear D! I don't care to wait for the government to surrender themselves anymore! Deploy the Metal Gear and launch a nuke!"
"Things cannot be done in a rush," Big Boss reminded him. "It would take time to activate Metal Gear D and target it at some place. But don't worry; as long as the Smashers cannot find Metal Gear, nothing will go wrong."

"Attention everyone: The Smashers are at large currently," said the speaker in the hallway. "Hunt them down at once. It does not matter whether they are dead or not."
Marth and Pit were on the run because of this. There were several rebels coming after them from behind. "They're still after us!" Pit cried as he looked back.
"Running isn't really on my book, so I ought to take on them instead!" Marth thought, and then he stopped in his tracks and turned to the rebels. "Cover for me, Pit!"
"Die, Smashers!" the rebels said as they opened fire. Pit got out his mirror shield fast and used it to block the bullets. Marth then jumped up from behind him and dropped toward the rebels while doing a horizontal slash that unleashed a wave that slashed the rebels away in pain. "Yeow!"
"Let's move out fast!" Marth said, and then they both ran away again.
They kept on running until they came to a door and went through it, and they found themselves standing out in an open field and there was a large armored vehicle in the center of the field. This vehicle apparently is the same that blew up the bridge at the chasm—Iron Nokana.
"Oh no… It's a big one…" Pit cried.
"If running won't get us anywhere, the sword will," Marth said. "I'm going all out on that thing!"
BGM: Steel Beast 6 Beats
Missile launchers equipped on the top of the vehicle fired several missiles in their direction. Marth ran towards the vehicle and swiped away the missiles as he approached. When he got near the vehicle, he delivered a jab at the front part of the vehicle which was spiky, but his sword bounced off instead. "Whoa!" The vehicle moved forward suddenly and tried to ram him down with its spikes, but Marth hopped back as fast as he could and rolled out of the way.
More missiles were fired from the launcher and they flew in the direction of Marth. Pit flew down in front of him and fired his arrows to shoot down the incoming missiles. The large vehicle moved back a bit and then turned its face to the direction of the Smashers and shot out more missiles. Marth ran at a fast speed towards the vehicle and stepped from side to side to avoid getting hit by the missiles and would knock down anything in front of him. He got to the front of the vehicle and swiped his sword madly at it.
SLASH SLASH SLASH SLASH!!
After slashing it multiple times, Marth backed off and the vehicle was covered all over with slash marks, but the whole thing still appeared to be undamaged. The vehicle moved forward and tried to run over him, and Marth ran aside and jabbed the front wheel and popped it. He pulled out his sword and ran to the back wheel and stabbed it too.
Pit flew to the other side and pulled back his bow and divided his arrow into two before firing them at each of the remaining two wheels. "Its movement should be tougher now that its wheels are broken," Marth thought, running to the front of the vehicle. "Now to take it out for real!"
Then to their surprise, Iron Nokana started rising up into the air as four metal stilts appeared from underneath its body. It rose about two meters into the air and stopped, and an upside-down dome-shaped device came out from the bottom of it and shot out a huge stream of fire.
"Whoa!" Marth and Pit got out of the way in time before the fire reached them. The fire was so hot that even the ground and the grass were scorched by it.
Marth ran to the side and the device turned to his direction and blew out another stream of fire as Marth moved away again, this time to the back of the vehicle. When he got to the back, he noticed a tank that was being carried on the back of the vehicle, and the tank aimed its turret at him and fired a shot. Marth took a step back to avoid the shot as it created an explosion on the ground. When the explosion still hasn't cleared, another stream of fire was shot out and it took Marth by surprise, taking him full on. "Gah!"
"Mr. Marth!" Pit gasped.
Marth took several steps back, but he managed to retain his footing and endured the flames and gave the vehicle a wicked glare. "I'll have to thank you for this extra firepower," he said as he got into offensive stance. He pulled back his sword for a second and then thrust it forward forcefully, releasing an arrow-shaped fire at the device. "Shield Igniter!"
The fiery arrow struck the flamethrower device and bore through it and blew it off the bottom of the vehicle, leaving behind a smoking spot. While the fire was still burning around Marth's body, he made a quick run to the front of the vehicle and got close underneath it and leaped up high with his sword. "Dolphin Flare!"
SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!
The powerful fiery slash was strong enough to slice through the vehicle from below, and a large vertical gash could be seen from the front of the vehicle. "I'll deal the last blow!" Pit said as he flew up high above the vehicle. He pulled back his arrow as far as he could and held it for about six seconds before letting go the string. The arrow shot down very fast and pierced through the vehicle in the back, taking out the tank on its back too.
Then the stilts weakened from all those impacts and were crushed under Iron Nokana's weight as it crashed down.
CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!
Pit flew down next to Marth and looked at the vehicle as it short-circuited and let out smoke from all over its body. By this time, the flames around Marth died down and there were some visible burnt scars on his body, but he tried to ignore them. "That's that," he said, sheathing his sword.
"You're badly burned, Mr. Marth!" Pit said to him.
"Not a big deal; they'll go away soon," he replied. "Don't worry about it."
TO BE CONTINUED
Not the best chapter or the best fights, but for a chapter rushed out in one day, it's not too bad.
Trivia:
1. The Bloody Brad was originally called Arnolds in the MSX version of Metal Gear, named after Arnold Schwarzenegger for his role in Terminator since they resemble a terminator. They were renamed into their current name for the re-release in MGS3: Subsistence.
