Chapter 127: What We Believe In

"What's the situation over at the White House?" Big Boss radioed his old friend who was ready to leave the office he was given.

"I've been digging through the files on the Vice President, he has been moving vast sums of money. I'm gonna head to his personal office" Ocelot spoke as he logged out of his computer.

"Be careful Adam, we've come too far to fail" Big Boss added.

Ocelot then got up out of his chair placing his idroid into his jacket pocket and then went around his desk and out the door into the hall of the white house, during his time in the White House Ocelot studied the patrol patterns and accessed the security records on all agents and was able to transfer the data to his idroid which would then mark any agent nearby.

As he locked his door behind him he looked up and down the hall seeing it was empty so he quickly pulled out his idroid then displayed the map of the area, the agents in the area were already marked and lucky enough some of them were out of the area he was in. Toggling the map to the upper levels he then spotted his target on the top level of the White House.

"Lets see whats in your computer Mr Vice President" Ocelot whispered and then Big Boss spoke on his radio. "Adam, that request you asked about finding away to bypass Platinum Level security without detection has come through. The update patch on your idroid should have down loaded by now".

"Thanks Boss, will let you know if I find anything" Ocelot ended the call then made his way through the hall casually and every now and then would pass agents, lucky enough Ocelot gained alot of trust from the President and was able to move around freely as long as he wouldn't tread into restricted areas.

Ocelot made his way through the halls until he came to a flight of stairs leading up to the second floor and as he casually walked up there his idroid vibrated in her coat signalling more agents being marks and it went up multiple times.

"More I go up, more agents huh" Ocelot whispered to himself and soon he finally reached the second floor where he suddenly saw more agents in the halls, still keeping calm and collected he casually walked past them all with some looking at him and others just letting him be.

Ocelot knew there was an elevator nearby on the level he was on now, it had a security panel and was to be used by security personnel only but taking the time to dive into the security files undetected Ocelot had the codes to pretty much every security panel in the White House.

The walk to the elevator on the other side of the area was pretty simple and after a few good minutes of going from room to room he finally went through a door leading into another hall, quickly looking around the halls he saw he was on his own for a while so he quickly pulled his idroid out and on the map he saw two marked agents guarding the elevator which was all the way down the hall around the next corner.

"This should be a piece of cake". Ocelot smirked and then put his idroid away and continued down the hall and around the corner to where the two agents were standing guard around the elevator.

-Indonesia Mountain, Caves-

Deep inside the mountain caves Punished Wolf and Fury were slowly making their way through the darkness watching each others backs, their mission at the moment in time was to cause chaos among the hostiles which occupied the tunnels while Quiet, Lawson and Shepard who were in a another cave tunnel find and take out the source of the drones which were used to cover the lower parts of the mountain.

It sounded like a simple mission but these soldiers knew anything could change fast.

Wolf was taking the lead with his rifle in one hand while looking at his idroid in his other hand making sure they were taking the right path through these tunnels.

"So what happened?" Fury whispered as she kept an eye on their six.

Wolf frowned as he focused on the map of his idroid "What you on about?".

"Your arm, you wasnt born with that robot hand" Fury answered hearing out for any movement.

"I lost it in an explosion" Wolf simply stated as they slowly moved forward.

Fury gave a quiet chuckle "A super soldier huh, the ladies must love your ability to survive".

"She did..." Wolf quietly responded and the tone of his voice revealed something Fury didnt know, sighing she looked back to him. "I'm sorry...I didnt know".

"Its ok, who could you know. So what about you? Anyone waiting for you back home?" Wolf asked.

Fury looked back to their six "Three kids, all girls."

"No partner? Husband?" Wolf asked as they came to a narrow path and they hand no choice but to squeeze through it.

"Used to, he became a drunk...after my third child he lost interest in being a father. Still I had my little girls" Fury revealed as she squeezed through the narrow path with Wolf.

"Sorry to hear that, still able to look after three kids on your own. Must be mother of the year" Wolf joked as they navigated through the tight path.

"Charming, but there were times where I couldnt cope" Fury stated and Wolf looked back at her. "How did you push forward".

"I had people around me, it sounds crazy but the people around you can do more help then you think. My friends were there for me during bad times, they are looking after my girls right now" Fury revealed.

Soon the two finally came out of the narrow path and into the next area. "Guess friends do help".

Fury soon came out of the narrow path and looked to Wolf who was looking back at his idroid. "Worst thing you can do is handle your problems alone, those around you can heal you alot more then you know".

Wolf didnt say nothing but he heard what she just said, he didnt believe that as much as she did, all of a sudden as he moved the map up he saw they were coming to a large open area.

"Theres a large area up ahead, lets move" Wolf ordered and put his idroid away then both he and Fury readied their weapons and quickly moved forward, moving as quickly and silently as possible the two finally came to an edge overlooking the entire area below.

Wolf and Fury quickly lowered themselves to the floor and examined the area, they saw alot of Cemetery Wind soldiers, there were tents at all corners of the area and in the centre was some high tech equipment, mostly a radio station and among them was Walker Gears however there was something diffrent about them.

"Shit those Walker Gears are A.I controlled" Wolf sighed and then placed his finger on his earpiece. "Boss, this is Wolf we are currently climbing up the mountain through the caves but there something else. Phantom has managed to create A.I Walker Gears".

"AI controlled? How?" Big Boss responded.

"No idea, but it looks like these are the same types we've dealt before. Same makes just with a AI head like D-Walker used to have" Wolf explained as he scanned the area.

"Whats the status anyway?" Big Boss asked.

Wolf looked to Fury who was looking down at the hostiles below "Me and Quiet have teamed up with a bunch of Resistance, seems like we arnt the only ones who want these bastards gone".

"Can they be trusted?" Big Boss asked a little concerned.

"Yeah, I think they can" Wolf stated and Fury looked at him smirking knowing what he and his Boss was talking about.

"Well...if you think they can help but just be careful. Listen things are almost done on my end, as soon as you give us confirmation that these bastards are behind everything me and Diamond Dogs will bring everything to you" Big Boss stated.

Wolf then turned his attention to the area below "Roger that Boss, once we deal with these bastards it will be a straight climb up the mountain and into the base" Wolf ended the call and turned to Fury but she was no longer near him, she vanished.

He quickly got up looking around him and she was no where in sight "Where the hell..." Wolf then looked to the area below and suddenly he spotted Fury hiding behind a large crate.

"What the hell are you doing..." Wolf whispered as he looked on.

Fury peeked around the crate and saw what would help them out, there was a two offline Walker Gears at a charging station and she couldn't help but smile knowing this was gonna be good.

Taking one last peek around the crate she was behind she saw she had an opening and quickly rushed across the area and slid right behind the stationed A.I Walkers just avoiding a few soldiers who turned and looked to her direction.

"What was that?" One soldier asked and his buddy looked back and saw nothing. "Probably just a rat, dont worry about it".

Fury peeked around the cover she was behind and saw the soldiers turning back around ignoring what they heard. "Idiots" Fury whispered to herself and she silently moved around her cover and came up to a computer and started typing away.

Wolf kept an eye on Fury wondering what she was doing but he couldnt just stand there doing nothing so he took out his rifle and pulled out a scope attachment and placed it on his rifle along with a silencer.

Checking the area around him he saw a few soldiers separated from the other soldiers and were behind containers smoking, knowing the situation may kick off at any moment Wolf decided to at least pick off the soldiers away from everyone else.

Fury finally managed to access the stationed AI Walker Gears and she smirked as she began typing commands into the terminal next to their charging stations, as soon as she hit the enter button she heard a rifle aiming right at her from behind.

"Freeze!" A soldier behind her ordered and she looked up in front of her realising she was caught. The soldier's voice alerted the others around the area and they came rushing to the sound of their comrades voice.

Wolf shot a soldier all alone next to a tent out of sight of the central area but soon he spotted alot of soldiers running to the centre of the area along with two AI Walker Gears rushing along with them.

Frowning he turned his attention to the centre of the area, lifting his rifle and using his scope to look he soon focused on the centre area and thats when he saw Fury being moved in to the open with her hands behind her head.

"What the hell Fury..." Wolf said with frustration then he lowered his rifle and began to move from his spot to get to the lower level.

Fury was finally moved to the centre of the area and one of the soldiers suddenly kicked the back of Fury's legs making her grunt as she fell to her knees. "You fucker...".

"Shut your hole!" A soldier came and whacked the butt of his gun right across her face and she fell to her side, only to slowly get back up to her knees and the side of her cheek was cut open from the hit and she took it like a champ.

"This bitch sure is tough..." The soldier that hit her chuckled. "So whats a pretty lady like you doing here?".

Fury turned her head to the side and spat blood out of her mouth before looking at soldier that hit her. "Looking to kill assholes, you are now on top of my list".

The soldiers around her laughed and as they laughed Fury spotted Wolf in the distance jumping down from the higher level and rolled behind cover, smirking she knew things were gonna be ok.

"What are you smirking at huh?" Fury looked to her left with her hands still behind her back and she looked up to a soldier frowning at her. "Think your gonna get out of this alive?".

"I dont think, I know" Fury continued to smirk and the soldier continued to frown at her then he turned to an AI Walker gear keeping its minigun trained on her. "Scan her, see where she came from".

The AI Walker received its order and it took a step towards her and Fury looked up to the Walker as its head popped up from its core and a red lenses aimed at her knees and began scanning upwards to the top of her head.

Once its scanning was done a voice echoed from the Walker. "Hostile identified as Kim Hernandez, codenamed Fury. Born in the United States enlisted in the US Army at the age of eighteen. Service record outstanding over ninety successful missions".

The soldier that hit Fury in the face kneeled down in front of her smiling. "So we have a badass, tell me why did a soldier with your reputation decide to be reckless and come here alone?".

Wolf who was hiding behind a crate pulled out a grenade launcher and attached it to the under barrel of his rifle and he peeked out of cover looking at the situation and Fury looked right at him with a wink.

"I never said I was alone" Fury smirked and all of a sudden the two stationed AI Walkers activated and turned their attention to the group of soldiers around Fury.

"Hostiles detected, protect target!" One of the activated Walker's echoed and suddenly the two reprogrammed Walkers fired their miniguns at the Cemetery Wind soldiers and at the same time Wolf jumped out of cover and shot his grenade launcher right at the group as the chaos began, the grenade hit the group of soldiers and it exploded engulfing the soldiers in smoke.

Now that the soldiers were blinded by smoke Fury quickly got up snatching a shotgun of the soldier that hit her and blew his chest right open and quickly ran out of the smoke as the soldiers shot blindly in the smoke as the reprogrammed Walkers provided cover for Fury.

Wolf soon rushed out of cover reloading his grenade launcher and then aimed at an AI Walker which came out of the smoke after Fury and launched the grenade right at walking machine and it exploded on impact making the Walker stagger but it wasn't enough to take it down.

Wolf's eyes widened as the walker turned its attention to him and its gatling gun started revving up. "Oh shit" He then sprinted as fast as he could as the Walker fired its gatling gun at him trying to take him down, however in that brief distraction Fury came back right behind the AI Walker and planted a C4 charge at its legs as she ran past it.

"Shoot her!" One soldier shouted as he spotted her running and she dived for cover behind a container just in time avoiding gunfire from multiple soldiers who came out of nowhere, quickly getting to her feet she peeked around the corner then pulled back as she was almost shot in the face but she saw a few of the soldiers near the AI Walker she was just near.

"Sorry boys" Fury then pulled out a detonator and hit the switch and the AI Walker suddenly exploded taking a few of the soldiers that stood next to it while others were sent flying from the blast.

Wolf dived for cover avoiding gunfire and he quickly jumped up to his feet gunning down a few soldiers before taking cover again. All of a sudden on of the reprogrammed Walkers came around the corner and provided cover for Wolf to move.

As the soldiers were distracted Wolf jumped out of cover and opened fire on the rest of the soldiers in front of him taking them down one after the other. Fury herself was running and shooting down any soldiers in her path and suddenly one came from around a corner in front of her but she used CQC disarming the soldier and then sliced his neck open with her scout knife then threw him over her shoulder before turning and shooting at more hostiles in front of her.

Wolf moved from cover to cover taking out more soldiers in his way and soon he came back to the centre of the area with the reprogrammed AI Walker covering his back but suddenly in the corner of his eye he saw a soldier on the upper level with an advanced rocket launcher pointing right at him.

Time slowed down and the soldier shot the rocket launcher right at him, the rocket flew right towards Wolf but in that split second the reprogrammed Walker skidded right in front of Wolf just in time to take the shot and the resulted blast destroyed the Walker and the force of the blast sent Wolf flying into the side of the container and the wind was knocked right out of him as he crashed to the ground.

"Son of a..bitch!" Wolf struggled to his feet and shot right at the attacker on the upper level and delivered a perfect headshot and the soldier fell from the upper level and crashed to the ground and thats when he saw the two remaining walkers crash to the ground on their sides, not cause they were damaged but because they were shut down and Wolf smirked.

Quiet, Shepard and Lawson succeeded in shutting down the drones and other mechs guarding the lower parts of the mountain. "Well done guys". He then turned and rushed to help Fury.

Fury was now using two handguns and at fast speed she was pulling off headshot after headshots as she turned in diffrent directions, soon she reloaded but an enemy shot her right in the arm making her grunt in pain as she fell to the ground. She looked to where the shot came from and she saw a soldier ready to kill her but he was suddenly gunned down before he could kill her, that was when Wolf rushed to Fury from behind and he stood beside her providing cover.

Wolf then turned to her and offered his hand and she quickly took it and got to her feet and the two went back to back taking down multiple enemies at a time.

The hostile soldiers were doing everything they could to take down Wolf and Fury but the two were just too quick at spotting and killing anyone who attempted to take them down, the two worked as one and was just raising hell.

Fury quickly reloaded her handguns and then shot two soldiers who came into view from cover and one of them tried to throw a grenade and despite Fury able to take them down she failed to stop the grenade flying through the air.

"GRENADE!" Fury shouted and both she and Wolf ran for their lives and dived out the way just in time to avoid the blast and the two quickly got up and continued taking down any soldiers in their way.

The fighting went on for a good few minutes and Wolf and Fury were running low on ammo but lucky enough they killed most of the soldiers and only a few remained behind some crates, killing the last few attempting to Wolf and Fury they then quickly turned to the crate where the remaining soldiers were hiding behind.

"Surrender and you wont be harmed!" Wolf ordered and Fury looked at him then back at the crate.

"You have no idea who your fucking with!" One of the soldiers behind the crate shouted.

Fury took a step forward still aiming her handguns. "Two people took a whole fucking group of you down, stand down or die like the rest".

"Fuck you!" "Go to hell!" The soldiers refused to give up.

Wolf and Fury looked at each other and sighed, putting their weapons away the two took out two grenades each and pulled the pins then threw them right at the crate then turned and walked away.

A few seconds past and the container exploded taking the last soldiers with them and all Wolf and Fury did was continue to walk a few more steps before coming to a stop looking at the mess around them.

The area was covered in smoke and fire and Fury just chuckled. "Two people caused this much mess".

Wolf looked around at the result and he couldn't help but chuckle "I aint cleaning this up".

Fury looked to Wolf "You men are all the same, never cleaning up after yourselves". She joked.

Wolf then turned to Fury. "Either way nice shooting".

Fury gave a nod "Your not too bad yourself, so whats the next step?".

Wolf pulled out his idroid and presented the map of the connected caves and Fury came close to Wolf looking at the map. "We are close, we continue to follow our current path and it will join up with the other teams.".

"Got it" Fury then turned placing her hand on her cheek wincing in pain as she walked a few steps away and Wolf looked at her "How's your cheek Fury?".

"Its nothing, just a scratch" Fury simply stated not looking at him. Wolf then approached her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder and she shrugged him off and he sighed.

"Fury, let me have a look" Wolf calmly stated and Fury sighed and turned around looking at him and he saw a nasty cut on her cheek, it was deep.

"Lets get that cleaned up" Wolf motioned her to a nearby chair and despite how much she said she was fine she just went with it and sat down with Wolf looking down at her, soon he placed his rifle by the chair then knelt down and pulled out his med kit and went to work.

"So, your name is Kim Hernandez." Wolf stated.

Fury rolled her eyes "Yeah, guess you know about my service as well".

"That kind of thing dont bother me, I'm a mercenary your business is your own" Wolf pulled out a thread and needle and got it ready.

"I've seen alot of shit, taken down alot of soldiers...even a few I once called brothers" Fury revealed and Wolf gently placed his hand on her jaw and tilted her head to get a better look at the cut.

"You want to talk about it?" Wolf whispered as he began to put the needle to the cut and she winced in pain as he began to work.

"I took down an old friend, I honestly thought I knew him...guess he reached his breakpoint." Fury whispered.

"Must have been hard for you" Wolf supported as he sealed the cut up.

Fury closed her eyes taking a deep breath. "I have tried every day to forget that..but...guess when your looking at former friends at a barrel of a gun...that shit stays with you".

"Your not alone" Wolf whispered as he was close to finishing the stitching. "Last year I was forced to kill my friend, he endangered my home and despite everything I did to make him see reason it just wasnt enough. Despite how much it hurt, I just kept the good memories to myself...kept me going ever since".

Fury opened her eyes and directed them to Wolf. "Sounds like you have had a terrible life...I'm sorry about your family...truly I am".

Wolf finally finished the stitching and checked it over. "Thanks, at least they are at peace."

He then turned and placed his med kit back in his pouch as Fury stood up running her finger across the stitching on her cheek.

"I was serious you know" Fury looked to Wolf and he looked to her before looking back to his pouch on his hip. "Serious about what".

"The people around you can do more help then you think, I can see you have bottled this up...I've seen it so many times and you are no different" Fury stated and Wolf slowly looked up to his front but didnt respond.

She then took a step forward. "I was at that point after killing my old friend in the field, I bottled it up for years to the point...to the point I almost took myself out. It was my friends and daughters that kept me going, despite how much it still hurts I am more healed then I was before then".

Wolf took a slow deep breath and looked to his cybernetic arm then closed and opened the hand. "I guess Phantom Pain follows us all".

Fury gave a slow nod as she looked at Wolf. "It does...but it doesnt have to be the end, you can use that pain to push you forward. Remind you that despite the pain...there is always something to fight for, something to believe in".

"What is it you believe in Wolf?" Fury questioned and soon Wolf slowly turned around to her and looked right into her eyes. "I...I guess Peace is what I believe in...".

"Then you hold on to it, have that pain push you forward to what you want." Fury stated and then picked up Wolf's rifle and planted it on his chest and he grabbed it as he continued to look at her.

"If a single mother of three daughters who spends more time on the battlefield can do it, then so can you...there is always something to fight for. You just have to find it." Fury then turned around and took out her handguns to reload them.

"Fury.." Wolf called out to her and she turned her head to him and after a few moments he gave a slow nod. "Thanks...".

Fury gave a small smile then gave him a wink. "Come on soldier" She then turned and walked away reloading her weapons and after a few moments Wolf took a deep breath and marched forward following Wolf towards another path leading into the darkness.

8:00:00 UNTIL EMERGANCY MEETING

"Fury is much older then Wolf and she has experienced a lot, at the age of 37 she has witnessed victory, loss and a lot of pain and that's why I created her. Wolf needed someone else besides Big Boss to tell him there is always something to fight for despite the pain they feel inside. Also I know this chapter started with Ocelot and ended on a cliffhanger on his end but rest assured the next chapter will end with him finding more interesting secrets. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and ready to see this chapter from Quiet's perspective in the next chapter :) SEE YA NEXT TIME!"
