Chapter 129: The Base In The Mountain

Running as fast as she could Fury came right to an edge and screamed as she jumped high as she could towards the other side and reached out her hand to the other side where Wolf was standing, he reached out and grabbed onto Fury's hand and managed to pull her close to him as her feet landed just on the other side.

Wolf took a few steps back from the edge still holding on to Fury and she held on to him tight, soon they were away from the edge and Fury felt a little electricity go through her body as she looked up to Wolf who looked right back at her.

"You ok?" Wolf questioned and after a few moments Fury nodded and then removed her hands from Wolf and then dusted herself off. "I'm fine Wolf, thanks".

Wolf nodded and turned around as Fury sorted herself out and he took out his idroid. "Quiet we are coming to an exit, marking my location now". He then ended the call and looked back at Fury who checked her handgun's ammo before holstering it.

"Lets go" Wolf ordered and the two rushed off towards the nearby exit hoping to meet Quiet, Shepard and Lawson.

Both Wolf and Fury climbed over every obstacle, crawled through every small gap, they knew they were finally close to their goal but the biggest question remained, will they be able to complete their mission and return home.

After a good twenty minutes of climbing the two finally reached an exit and all they saw was sunlight and the two sighted in relief finally happy to be out of the cave. Slowly they walked out of the cave with their rifles in hand and despite the fresh air finally hitting their nostrils, what they saw in the far distance sent chills down their spine.

Wolf slowly took a step forward to the ledge as he looked at the centre of the mountain and right in the middle of it was the massive base and it was unlike anything he saw before.

The base was massive and was a lot bigger then the XOF Base in Iraq so motioning Fury to his side they both layed on the ground and pulled out their scopes to do some recon, to the south of it they saw a massive building with a control tower in the centre of the base, a dozen buildings on the west side of it and on the east side was a long runway with multiple helipads and saw at least a dozen choppers stationed there and that's when Wolf noticed an emblem on it.

"Do you see that symbol on one of the choppers?" Wolf questioned as he continued to look through his scope.

"Yeah, Cemetery Wind. Looks like these are the bastards" Fury responded as she looked on.

"No, there's another, looked to the farthest Helipad and you will see a Gun Ship" Wolf simply stated. Fury followed his direction and moved her scope to the farthest platform and she frowned at the emblem on the side of the Gunship.

"Phantom Wolves?" Fury lowered her scope looking at the massive base and Wolf looked to her "Have you heard of them?".

"I've fought a lot of Mercenary Groups but not once have I seen or heard mention of this group, they must be new on the grid" Fury guessed.

Wolf turned back to his scope and looked at the base "They are doing pretty well for themselves then, they seemed to have joined Cemetery Wind or at the very least hired them".

"But how can they afford to run this base, its not your typical stronghold for Mercenaries" Fury questioned as she resumed her recon.

Wolf frowned as he spotted something right at the back of the base where there was three massive hangers, he saw one of them open and saw something very interesting. "I don't think they are earning their money like us".

Fury turned her head to Wolf "What do you see?".

"South East of the base, three massive hangers" Wolf instructed and Fury looked through her scope and towards the South East part of the base and after a few moments she found what Wolf saw, what she saw shocked her.

Coming out of the middle hanger was an American Service Chopper which belonged to the White House and it was being guided out into the open.

"What the fuck is an American Chopper doing here?!" Fury couldn't believe what she was seeing. Wolf didn't respond and got to one knee placing his finger on his earpiece. "Boss, we are at the base but we have found evidence of US involvement".

"Can you give further details and what you have found" Big Boss responded and Wolf looked to Fury and she looked at him.

"Its a Chopper belonging to the White House, its a jet black chopper and the US Presidential emblem is on its tail" Wolf revealed.

"Wolf!" Fury got his attention and he quickly took out his scope and looked to the hangers. "Hang on Boss".

The two looked back through their scopes towards the hangers and that's when they saw a man in a black suit with a briefcase with an armed escort behind him, but there was also a cloaked figure walking beside the man in a suit.

"Hello who is that?" Fury questioned and Wolf lowered his scope and anger was in his eyes. "Phantom, I have met him before. He's the leader".

Fury could feel the anger in his voice as she continued to watch the man in the suit. "Sounds extremely personal".

Wolf looked back through his scope and to Phantom, he watched the cloaked man turn and shout orders to the soldiers around him and once again his face was covered by a black balaclava with the Golden Jaw Mask along with it and of course his hood covered most of his head.

"Boss, we have spotted Phantom, looks like he has a client" Wolf resumed his talk with Big Boss.

"Who is this client he is with?" Big Boss responded and Wolf continued to look through his scope and that's when the man in the suit turned around revealing his face.

At that moment Wolf and Fury quickly got up in shock. "No fucking way.." Fury's jaw dropped and Wolf lowered his scope. "Boss, its Vice President Heartman".

"Say that again can you confirm that" Big Boss sounded a little surprised and Wolf looked through his scope. "Yeah that's him, he must be the reason this place is up and running".

"Shit, I suspected but didnt believe it would be true. Wolf, you and your new team make your way into that base. We need to know if they indeed have Project Cerberus, if we can get that then we have got the bastards" Big Boss ordered.

Wolf put his scope away and turned away while Fury kept looking to the base through her own scope. "Roger that Boss, will let you know ASAP...but there's one thing Boss...if there is a Metal gear here".

"Don't worry, I got something to counter that if it comes to it. Its nearly repaired and as soon as you can confirm this is indeed the Bastards that framed us, we will bring the rain and unleash something far worse on them" Big Boss explained.

"Roger that, what about Phantom?" Wolf added.

"Leave him for now, I know you have personal beef with him but just focus on finding the evidence we need. In the mean time I will inform Ocelot about what you have found" Big Boss stated.

Wolf nodded "Ok Boss, over and out" He ended the call and sighed as he dropped his hand.

"You really want Phantom dead" Lydia asked as she continued to do a bit of recon.

Wolf took a deep breath and just looked into the distance "I almost took my own life cause of his words, the bastard used my own depression against me" Wolf revealed and Fury looked to him with a questioning look and Wolf could feel her gaze.

"I fell deep into depression when I lost my girlfriend, the thoughts of suicide slowly built up and the words he said, telling me no matter what I do will never heal the pain inside. I almost killed myself that day, but Quiet stopped me and made me see sense...still the pain of losing someone I have been with for over ten years. I still wonder how I will continue to go on." Wolf then looked to Fury.

"I honestly dont even know if I can keep fighting after this, the pain is just constantly there and it has no signs of fading" Wolf went on and then Fury slowly got up and continued to look at him as he went on.

"I put on a false face around everyone, telling them I am stronger then they think. But when I'm on my own...my mind wonders...to dark places, losing my girlfriend..my unborn child, how can one continue to live after that" Wolf then turned and took a few steps away and Fury just looked at him.

The thirty six year old woman wasn't stupid, her years of experience helped her to see right through him, he truly was a broken man. She felt sorry for him and the fact he lost his family was something no one should ever go through, she slowly turned around and looked to the base and she then looked down to her hands as she rubbed them together.

"You remember that old friend of mine I killed cause he became a threat, truth is he wasn't just a friend" Fury slowly looked back to the base and Wolf slowly turned around a little confused.

Taking a deep breath she decided to tell him the truth. "He...was my daughters father, the drunk bastard I told you about".

Wolf blinked "What?" He whispered as he slowly came to her side looking at her as she continued to look at the Base in the distance.

"After my third girl was born we went back into the army, little did I know he was at his breaking point..." Fury whispered and Wolf just looked at her "What happened?".

"It began in Iraq, a fucking rookie soldier who had special treatment cause his father was in the higher ranks. The bastard made one too many mistakes and he ended up killing an innocent, tried to make it look like she attacked him but placing a fucking knife in her hand" Fury then slowly turned her head to Wolf.

"My partner told him he was done and as soon as his back was turned the rookie tried to shoot him but I disarmed him, only a few shots grazed past my partner...that was when he reached his breakpoint." Fury's eyes watered as she turned away and slowly took a few steps away while looking to the ground.

"The man I loved killed the Rookie and he turned and left the army, I never saw him again...I had to tell my girls their father was working hard to keep them safe while I was home with them" At that moment a tear fell down her cheek as she looked up.

"A year later I find out he was now a leader of a Terrorist Cell, took complete control over an island...I went with thirty elite soldiers to take back control of the island, long story short...I finally found him" Fury's voice was shaken and she slowly turned back to Wolf and he felt sorry for her.

"I begged him to stand down, to think about our daughters back home. He just bragged about that the world leaders seeing us soldiers as just expendable bodies, that we were just living in a dream and the only way to fix the world is to start over...I...had no choice but to kill him" Fury finally said it and another tear fell as she continued to look at him.

"I killed the father of my three girls, I told my girls he died in battle and that he loved them...I had to lie them to spare them the pain of them knowing their father had become a monster, that he wanted to kill innocent people" Fury then slowly fell to her knees and just looked down to the ground as more tears fell.

"I have to live with that for the rest of my life, one day I fear they will find out the truth...that their mother killed their father" Fury took a deep breath getting her emotions under control.

Wolf then slowly approached Fury and knelt down in front of her. "It wasn't your fault, he left you no choice".

Fury snapped her head up to him and had a bit of anger in her eyes "I know that, I am sorry for what happened to you Wolf I really am and I may sound cold but you are not the only one who has gone through this...I have seen people go through the exact same pain as you...but the people I know who suffered are continuing to live for their loved ones".

She then rubbed her hand under her eyes removing the tears as she looked at him. "If you love them you will continue to live for them, just like I continue to live for my girls. Just like every service man and woman out there fighting right now".

Wolf looked at her and then turned his head and looked to the base once more, what she said cut him deep, it made him angry but at the same time made him understand that he needs to fight harder for those he lost. They would want him to continue on and live his life.

He then turned back to Fury and slowly stood up, thats when he offered his hand to her. She looked up to him and he gave a nod and she saw the determination return, Fury then reached for his hand and he pulled her up and the two looked at each other.

Their eyes never left the other and everything was silent. "Your daughters are lucky to have you as their mother". Wolf complimented.

"And your girlfriend and child were lucky to have you, dont be afraid to live on and let people in" Fury whispered.

Wolf and Fury continued to look at each other and after a few seconds the two embraced, compassion and respect for each other just filled their bodies.

"What did we miss?" The voice startled both Wolf and Fury and they turned to the cave entrance and aimed their weapons.

"Whoa easy!" Shepard put his hands out and both Quiet and Lawson stood beside him.

Wolf sighed and lowered his weapon "Sneaking up on us like that nearly got you killed".

Shepard lowered his hands and sighed in relief and he and Lawson suddenly saw the massive base in the distance and they rushed to the edge looking at the Base in the distance. "Jesus Christ".

Quiet on the other hand stayed at the entrance and crossed her arms looking at Wolf and was a little mad at what she just saw and thats when she saw Fury tap his shoulder.

"I'll get them up to speed while you figure out the next step" Fury said giving him a tiny smile and he smiled back and watched her walk to her comrades, Quiet on the other hand really didn't like Wolf watching her go.

He then turned to Quiet and approached her "We may have found the bastards Quiet, Big Boss has something big to help us when we find the evidence we need".

She just looked at him still with her arms crossed and she then looked to the ground giving a single nod and Wolf was just confused by her recent attitude.

"Quiet, whats got into you?, you have been I don't know distant and a bit hostile" Wolf questioned and Quiet looked at him and just shrugged her shoulders saying it was nothing.

But deep down her attitude was towards Fury, for some reason she hated see Fury with her arms around Wolf. It made her blood boil seeing him around her.

Wolf frowned at her knowing she was lying but he decided to leave it and continue with the mission, he motioned her to follow him and thats when Fury and her comrades turned and the group made a circle as Wolf finally had a plan.

"Ok team listen up, its gonna take us about two hours to get to that base and right now time is definatly not on our side" Wolf looked to Shepard and Lawson "When you get to the base I want you two explore the outskirts of it, find any cracks and holes to allow Roberto and the rest of the Resistance to get into the base easier".

"Once you done that I want you to two to be a sniper and spotter team while me, Quiet and Fury head deep into the base, this will be a stealth mission until the Resistance arrives." He then looked to everyone else. "Do not expose yourself no matter the danger, if we get spotted it will be a quick end to us".

Wolf then looked to Fury. "When we enter the base I want you to sabotage the anti airs and disable anything that can quickly take us down, if these bastards are using AI Weapons we can take them all down at once and only the soldiers will be left".

He then looked to Quiet. "You will be her eyes as she roams the base, keep Fury in your sights while I find the evidence. No mistakes".

Quiet was hesitant but after a few moments she nodded and looked to Fury who was just looking at Wolf.

"Everyone clear on what they are doing?" Wolf asked once more and everyone nodded and Wolf was happy.

They all readied their weapons and then heard a chopper rising from the base, it was the Vice President's chopper and it gained altitude and flew off in the opposite direction away from the base, it was now or never.

"Ok, lets go" Wolf ordered and everyone turned and made their way down the cliff and began their journey to the base in the distance.
