"WE ARE BACK WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER WITH BIG BOSS AFTER HIS PERSONAL MISSION, WE WILL SEE WHAT HE HAS PLANNED AND ALSO GET HIS REACTION TO NEWS FROM OLD DINE, PLEASE ENJOY!"

Chapter 125: Possibilities

"Boss I dont see why you would want me to upload D-Walker's memories into that thing, its not as strong as Sahlanthopus" Huey argued with Big Boss who just came back from his personal mission at the watery grave of MSF.

Crossing his arms Big Boss frowned at Huey "Have you forgotten that new toy of yours has been completley wrecked, it will take days to fix that thing...which we dont have".

"I...Boss think about it my new creation could show the world just how powerful Diamond Dogs can be, sure it may draw attention but if you use Sahlanthopus to destroy your enemy and clear your name it would make your enemies think twice about crossing you" Huey really didnt like that Big Boss wasnt interested in using Sahlanthopus.

Big Boss took a step closer to Huey which made the scientist back up "Are you that touched in the head? I have no intention in using that thing, ever...now I am not asking you I am telling you, upload D-Walker's memories into what I brought back otherwise there will be hell to pay".

Huey looked at Big Boss a little annoyed but sighed and turned around to his computer and started typing away. "I will begin the transfer it should take about an hour, but I dont agree with this Boss. Sahlanthopus is the better solution then what you brought back".

"Just shut up and do what I told you and once you've done that get that damn Battle Gear done" Big Boss then turned and left Huey's hanger and the scientist looked back to the door with a look of anger seeing that Big Boss was not interested in Sahlanthopus.

"So it looks like he has thrown your work away" Huey looked up above him to the upper level and he saw Eli sitting on the railings looking down at him.

Huey sighed and resumed focus on his computer "Looks like it, I dont understand why he wont use Sahlanphropus...its the most superior".

"I know why" Eli stated and then jumped down to the ground level landing perfectly and turned to Huey still typing away. "He fears you".

This made Huey stop what he was doing and then looked at the boy with a frown. "Fear me?".

"Look at what you have built, he knows the power you can make and yet refuses to let you even fix the damn thing. Sure me and the boys are doing all we can to fix it with you at night, well almost all of us. That boy Ralph seems to fancy that girl called Cub" Eli stated as he looked at Battle Gear's base which made some improvements.

Huey then left his computer then went to a nearby desk where there were schematics of the Battle Gear. "I'm sure I can convince him to allow me to fix it, but seriously do you think this plan will work?".

Eli chuckled as looked to Huey "Of course, once we fix Sahlanthropus we can get out of here...you can contact Cipher and I will be able to go back to commanding my own group of soldiers like I used to".

"How are we gonna get Sahlanthropus moving, I mean I created the thing but the controls are something I have to remember" Huey explained as he looked over the paper work.

Eli smirked and turned back to his front looking away from Huey "What if I could get someone to control it".

Huey quickly looked back to Eli "How? there is no one here who can".

"Dont worry Doctor, there is someone I know.." Eli then turned with his arms crossed looking at Huey. "I will introduce you to him when the time is right, but right now I need a straight answer before I execute the next step for our escape...are you willing to do what ever it takes to get off this hell hole?".

Huey looked to his incomplete Battle Gear and his eyes just locked on to it for a few seconds, he knew once this machine was done they could just throw him away. Throw him away and keep his achievements for themselves, deep down he didn't want that to happen, the one thing he wanted to be famous for was Sahlanthropus. He wasnt gonna let Big Boss take all the credit.

Turning to Eli and gave his answer. "I will do what ever it takes, as long as we get Sahlanthropus out of here".

Eli smirked and nodded at Huey, without saying a word he turned and left the scientist allowing him to continue to be on Big Boss's side just a little longer.

Exiting the hanger Big Boss went to turn to the nearby stairs leading up to the upper level of R&D and slowly made his way up them and as he took the last step he spotted Code Talker on the platform edge looking out to the ocean, concerned with the old man Big Boss decided to check on him as it had been a while since they talked.

The morning sun was touching the ocean as it rised and Code Talker was just looking admiring it and soon Big Boss came to his side and looked to the morning sun and the two just looked at it for a few moments.

"Thing of beauty is it not?" Code Talker simply asked.

Big Boss looked down at the old man and then looked back to the sun. "Yeah I guess it is".

"All my life I always focused on my research, never taking the time to admire the surroundings around me. I think this is the first time I ever took the opportunity, do you ever just stop and admire things like this?" Code Talker then looked up to Big Boss and the legendary soldier looked down at him.

"Only time I ever admired something was in 1964, during a mission to rescue a scientist. I made the first HALO jump and when I landed near my objective area I looked out over a massive cliff out to the endless forests below, that was a long time ago" Big Boss then looked back out to the ocean.

Code Talker continued to look at Big Boss "So this machine you brought back, you believe its gonna work?".

Big Boss turned and looked to the next R&D platform and right there in the middle of the platform was a massive container which was covered in rust from being at the bottom of the ocean for so long, however inside was the massive machine that slept for ten years and Big Boss knew it would work as the container was air tight and there was no way water could get into it.

"It will, with the time we have left it has to" Big Boss then looked down at the old man "Cause I dont know what I'm gonna do if it doesn't".

Code Talker then turned his wheelchair and looked to the platform and saw many soldiers trying to open up the massive container with machinery. "Lets just hope Wolf can confirm the base in Indonesia is holds the ones that framed you".

"Yeah...lets hope" Big Boss whispered as he continued to look at the container and it was silent for a few seconds until Code Talker broke the silence. "Boss, there is something I need to tell you about Wolf".

Big Boss looked down at Code Talker. "If your gonna talk about his mental state, I already know how bad its been".

Code Talker slowly shook his head as he looked to the next platform "No, its something else".

Big Boss frowned out of curiosity "What do you mean?".

Code Talker took a deep breath and looked up to Big Boss. "He and Quiet was playing in that storm we had not too long ago, after coming back from Iraq".

"Playing? I dont understand" Big Boss was a little confused.

Code Talker gave a little chuckle at Big Boss's misunderstanding "I mean I witnessed something diffrent in the two of them".

Big Boss blinked and then slowly went down on one knee looking at Code Talker wondering what he was on about.

"We all know Quiet's body reacts to water, she needs to drink through her skin" Code Talker started.

"Yeah we know" Big Boss nodded.

Code Talker gave a slow nod "During that time she stripped down to her undergarments right there on the command platform allowing the rain to soak her, once she had her fill she started playing with the water on the ground. Thats when Wolf came around."

Big Boss continued to listen placing a forearm on his knee "Quiet quickly got up and vanished, possibly out of embarrassment but Wolf didnt leave, he knew she was still there. With her boots in hand he offered them back to her when she threw them away".

"And she took them back?" Big Boss guessed.

Code Talker gave a small nod then looked to his front looking to the distance. "Indeed Boss thats when it happened, Quiet kicked water at him and soon Wolf did the same and after a few moments the two had a little water fight...possibly to relieve the stress of their mission".

"Seems pretty harmless, so it was a distraction from the mission before" Big Boss assumed.

"Thats what I believed, but what happened next made me think otherwise" Code Talker looked back at Big Boss knelt by him. "Quiet stumbled and fell into Wolf's arms as he stopped her from falling".

"During those moments throwing water at each other the two were smiling and chuckling. But during that time they held on to each other for support they looked up to the sun breaking through the clouds, thats when they realised they were still holding each other...they pulled apart still looking at each other"

Big Boss continued to listen very carefully to the old man. "They were confused by what just happened but the eye contact lasted longer then it should have...".

"Code Talker, are you saying..." Big Boss frowned assuming what Code Talker was trying to say.

The old man looked to Big Boss again. "I dont know fully but they seemed...happier then normal."

Big Boss slowly looked to the side to the platform to the massive container talking it all in and soon he slowly stood up and turned to the platform.

"But you suspect...that the two possibly found something" Big Boss whispered.

Code Talker continued to look at Big Boss "I dont know about Wolf but Quiet, the parasites inside her revealed deep down she cares about him...possibly more...".

Big Boss turned his head looking over his shoulder to the old man. "Possibly more then friendship". Sighing Big Boss took a few steps forward rubbing his beard.

"I dont know about this, Wolf losing Buffalo and his kid...its too early to think of such things..." Big Boss trailed on. "Even if something could happen, you do realise Quiet will never be normal...there may be a time where her parasites fail...or she dies. I couldnt see Wolf be broken even more".

Code Talker turned his wheelchair to a different direction then looked over his shoulder to Big Boss. "Its possibly nothing, I understand Wolf is like a son to you and you dont want to see him hurt...but what if this...what if their pain brings them together and in a way...they heal the other".

Big Boss sighed and turned to Code Talker who was ready to roll away. "Maybe...but Leon still needs time to heal...".

"Quiet could be the one to heal him, Wolf...could be the one to heal her" Code Talker simply stated and then rolled away leaving Big Boss alone and soon the Legendary Soldier looked back out to the ocean where the sun was finally above the ocean line.

"Sarah...dont know if I ever said this out loud, but I miss you" Big Boss sighed and then turned and in the distance he saw Cub speaking to one of the African kids which he recognised was Ralph, lucky enough Ralph learnt enough English to understand Cub and he could see the two of them chuckling as the sat on the ground with DD resting behind Cub protecting her.

Big Boss could see Cub trying to teach Ralph the clapping game and he struggled to keep up but the two continued to chuckle together and it brought a small smile to Big Boss knowing at least two innocent lives were happy, taking one more look at the sun Big Boss took a deep breath. "I think you would have loved Cub, Sarah...know that we always miss you...".

With one more look Big Boss then looked to the second R&D Platform and saw the staff had finally managed to make progress on opening the large container where the massive machine layed dormant, he then looked down at his watch and saw he had ten hours left before the UN's Emergency Meeting on how to deal with Diamond Dogs. To think it felt like it was only yesterday they had a week to prove their innocence and now they had a handful of hours left.

"Wolf, if you have the answers I need you to tell us now..." Big Boss whispered to himself as he decided to head to the next platform to check on the progress of what they brought back.

10:00:00 UNTIL EMERGANCY MEETING
