"Welcome back to another episode! Today we take on another story mission with Big Boss, please enjoy!"

Chapter 158: Extraordinary

Few days had past since Operation Cursed Legacy and ever since that day Big Boss had sent out operatives to the fields of Afghanistan and Africa as reports of unknown choppers have been active in the areas, for days the operatives scanned and searched all the hot areas where the choppers were active. The searches were fruitless until one day the search had finally paid off.

An operative had finally spotted a chopper and managed to take photos of its current operation in the plains of Afghanistan, however before the operative could call for extraction he came under fire from a passing convoy which past through the area. Before losing contact with the operative Big Boss had received word the Operative had sent his coordinates and a message saying that he stashed the film canister at Spugmay Keep.

With no other choice Big Boss was now in the plains of Afghanistan racing through the endless desert in his jeep heading towards Spugmay Keep determined to get the film canister in hopes of finding some clue to what Cipher was planning, anger and frustration filled his soul knowing his war with Zero was always going to resume after dealing with XOF.

"Boss, the mission is to head to Spugmay Keep and retrieve a film canister which was hidden by one of our operatives. The operative is still MIA but he managed to send us a photo showing exactly where he hid the canister, we are currently decoding it but right now head to Spugmay Keep" Miller advised and Big Boss put the pedal to the metal and shot across the plains of Afghanistan and towards his target area.

-Mother Base, Combat Platform Hanger 103-

It was the dead of night and a storm was growing over the entire base of Outer Heaven and in the heart of the Combat Unit was non other than Wolf along with Silent Butterfly as they were doing a private session with Cub, after a few days of waiting Cub was finally able to be trained to use a sniper rifle and for the past hour she worked hard to be better.

Laying prone on the ground with her sniper rifle in hand Cub aimed down her scope aiming at four paper targets, each were separated and were at the opposite side of the hanger. Precisely two hundred meters away.

Standing nearby was Wolf and Silent Butterfly and they just watched her movements but she hardly ever moved, her eye just looked down her scope with her finger in the trigger just waiting for the order to fire.

"Fire!" Wolf ordered and in a split second Cub pulled the trigger taking down the targets quickly and effectively.

"Enemy on the left!" Wolf warned and Cub quickly got to one knew and turned to her left aiming down her sights at a paper target that popped up and she delivered a shot right at the center of it.

"Run for cover!" Wolf ordered making Cub jump on both her feet and she ran to a nearby crate and thats when another paper target popped up showing the full body of a soldier and Cub stayed behind cover.

"Next target has armor covering his chest and head, you wont be able to land a kill shot. He's carrying a heavy weapon as well. Decide on whats best to overcome the situation" Wolf ordered with Silent Butterfly still watching on next to him with her arms crossed.

Cub loaded a rubber bullet into her sniper rifle and took a sharp deep breath, she then popped out of cover aiming down her sights and she shot the paper soldier right in its left knee followed by a shot in the targets left leg and then shot the right arm.

The result was perfect, if that paper target was a real soldier the shot to the right knee would have made him drop. The shot in the left leg would have made the target fall flat on the ground and to ensure he wasnt a threat Cub shot the target's arm to disable it so he couldnt still shoot at her. It would leave the target vulnerable unable to defend himself allowing Cub to either move in and kill or interrigate her victim.

It was a tactic both Wolf and Silent Butterfly taught her and she remembered it perfectly.

Cub remained still aiming down her sights just slowly breathing just waiting for any target to appear, non popped up but she remained still in case of a surprise attack but after a few moments she finally felt it was safe for her to lower her gaurd. The young girl lowered her sniper rifle and slowly stood up and turned her head to the left where Wolf and Silent Butterfly just watched on.

It was then Wolf smirked. "Nice work".

In response Cub smiled as she holstered her sniper rifle on to her back and she walked over to the two adults and when she got close it was Silent Butterfly that knelt down bringing her into a warm embrace absolutely proud of the little girl making so much progress and in return Cub held on to her lovingly.

"Hope I did you proud Quiet" Cub whispered and Silent Butterfly pulled back and placed her hand on the girl's cheek and traced her thumb on her rosy cheek just smiling at her.

"At this rate you will be one of the best snipers out there, can only imagine what you will be like when your an adult" Wolf knelt down getting Cub's attention.

"What rules do you follow" Wolf questioned the girl as Silent Butterfly stood back up walking around the back of Cub placing her hands on her shoulders.

"Never kill women and children, never give up on a target and think of nothing but the target" Cub stated almost professionally and Wolf gave a slow nod.

"You have grown so much in such a short time and I'm not talking about your height or your age, you have grown in mind and will". Wolf then placed his hand on her shoulder smiling.

"I am proud of you, Sniper Wolf" Wolf complimented using the name Cub chose for herself and the girl just smiled back as she just idolized Wolf and Silent Butterfly just as much as she did Big Boss, she had never been happier.

Its was then that Cub came in close and embraced Wolf and he just smiled hugging her back as the girl buried her head into Wolf's shoulder as he looked up to Silent Butterfly who just loved the sight before her, soon Cub pulled away still smiling at him.

"Am I allowed to go play with DD and Ralph now?" Cub asked with hope in her eyes and in response Wolf just gave a small nod. "Of course, but be back tomorrow morning to continue your training".

"I will Wolf, I promise" Cub said with words full of promise.

Wolf gave a small smirk. "Your one hell of a Wolf".

The little girl looked back up to Silent Butterfly and the woman winked down at her making Cub chuckle as she then ran off out of the hanger to go find DD and her best friend Ralph, now Wolf and Silent Butterfly was alone in the hanger.

"She is something else isnt she?" Wolf chuckled as he got back to his feet as they both looked to the door Cub finally rushed through and they could hear her foot steps pick up and soon faded in the distance.

"I love her Wolf, I have never known someone so adorable as her" Silent Butterfly smiled in Navajo as she looked to Wolf still looking to the door. "And she's lucky to have an excellent teacher".

This compliment got a chuckle from Wolf as he walked away picking up the paper targets Cub had shot down. "We both helped her Stef, dont forget yourself".

"Maybe" Silent Butterfly admitted as she crossed her arms watching Wolf pick up the paper targets. "But I honestly perfer to have her train her".

This statement made Wolf frown as he turned while rolling the paper targets and his eyes looked at Silent Butterfly's. "Why? You are better then any other sniper here?".

"I know.." Silent Butterfly admitted then looked down to her crossed arms. "But then I rather her be trained by the top man here".

"Oh I see, too much to handle a little girl eh?" Wolf joked resulting the sniper to look back up to him. "Is the famous Quiet losing her edge?".

Silent Butterfly could only raise her eyebrows. "Excuse me? I dont think I heard you?".

Laughter just came out of Wolf as he walked over to the near table and placed the paper targets down on it. "Oh nothing, just seems like the once badass sniper is going soft and I could only wonder whats made her this way".

Squinting her eyes at him, Silent Butterfly slowly unfolded her arms placing them on her hips while never looking away from her man. "Are you shitting me Wolf? are you actually trying to offend me baby?". Her voice sounded offended with a hint of playfulness.

All Wolf did was turn around and crossed his arms as he leaned back against the table smirking at her. "Who says I'm offending you? I mean ever since we killed Marston you have been relaxing alot, not to mention spying on me most of the time".

"I dont spy on you" Silent Butterfly defended herself and thats when Wolf raised his eyebrow. "Stef...you were watching me train the recruits and next thing I know you wanted me to fuck you that night".

"That was one time and you know it!" Silent Butterfly took a few steps forward balling her fists trying to be serious and thats when Wolf shrugged his shoulders and turned back around to the table and sorted out the paper targets.

"Sure it wont be the last either" Wolf mocked absolutely enjoying teasing Silent Butterfly as he knew it annoyed her at times. "You still the bad ass Quiet we know and love?"

This time it worked again and Silent Butterfly marched forward and gripped the back of Wolf's shirt getting a laugh from him but he was quickly thrown from the table and he crashed to the ground with a thud and the laughter stopped.

"Be careful what you wish for..." Silent Butterfly mocked as she swayed to towards Wolf with her markings present and Wolf quickly got up smirking, decided to play along he threw a light punch at her but she ducked and punched him in the gut sending him back a few steps. The punch from her was hard but nothing Wolf couldnt handle.

The eyes of Silent Butterfly was serious and there was no playfulness in them, they were the eyes of Quiet and Wolf knew that look well. He was in a world of hurt.

She suddenly dashed forward pushing Wolf right up against the nearby wall with one hand pinning Wolf's Cybernetic Arm against the wall and with her other hand she gripped Wolf's throat putting pressure on him, Wolf just looked at her as his smile was finally gone as he was easily pinned against the wall as he was reminded of Silent Butterfly's full strength.

"Butterfly got your tongue?" Silent Butterfly only whispered as she leaned in close to Wolf's face looking him in the eyes with her markings still present around her eyes.

"Attacking a superior officer" Wolf chuckled a little despite the pressure Silent Butterfly put on his throat. "That was pretty dumb".

"No ones ever accused me of being dumb" Silent Butterfly frowned as she spoke in a calm and almost seductive voice still with the dangerous fire in her eyes, she may have changed for the better but deep inside she was still a dangerous woman.

"Well you do have a temper" Wolf joked again and Silent Butterfly just looked dead into his eyes.

"Temper eh? You dont know what I am capable of" She then slowly looked down to Wolf's crotch only to smirk as she looked back up at him. "You havnt seen anything yet baby, all I have done is enjoy the ride...but now I think its time I take charge".

Wolf raised his eyebrow and she moved closer until her body pressed up against his with her hands still restraining him. "Just remember sweetheart, I can break you in half if I wanted...maybe I should consider it...".

"I doubt that, you love screaming" Wolf joked again despite his position and Silent Butterfly chuckled. "Well...maybe I should make you scream, I still have a few tricks to show you".

Silent Butterfly ran her tongue on her top teeth as she leaned in to kiss him but suddenly Wolf's radio went off breaking the two apart with Silent Butterfly sighing in frustration as she let go and took a few steps back allowing Wolf to answer the radio.

"This is Wolf" He answered as his eyes continued to look at her.

"Wolf this is Miller, Big Boss is close to Spugmay Keep. I need you to come to my office theres something important I need you to do" Miller ordered and he sounded serious.

"Roger Miller, give me ten minutes and I should be there" Wolf ended the call and took a few steps towards Silent Butterfly who still was annoyed with her arms crossed, Wolf knew she loved these teasing moments and absolutely despised having them interrupted.

"Duty calls Stef, have to continue this later" Wolf simply stated and thats when Silent Butterfly gripped his shirt and pulled him in tightly with her markings still visible and all that came out of Wolf was a chuckle, he knew she would never hurt him but he loved her aggressive side at times.

"This is certainly not over, tonight your mine. Just remember...your not fucking me tonight because I am going to be the one who is fucking you". Silent Butterfly's voice was full of promise and thats when she pulled him in for a long hard kiss and they wrapped their arms around each other.

Silent Butterfly's hand went into his hair gripping a handful of it with her other hand clawing his back while Wolf squeezed her ass with his Cybernetic hand making her one leg wrap around Wolf's waist and he gripped her hair with his other hand, they tongue dueled aggressive for only a few seconds before pulling away and it was extremely hard for them to actually move away but they had the strength to resist the moment.

"Dont be late..." Silent Butterfly warned then reached her hand around smacking Wolf's backside hard before turning around and walking away adding a little sway in her hips as she marched away, Wolf just watched her ass in those tight green fatigues move and Wolf just loved seeing his Stefanie in her Diamond Dogs gear but soon she just vanished into thin air leaving Wolf all one in the massive hanger.

"Huh, what a woman" Wolf chuckled to himself and soon headed out to see Miller and find out what was so important.

-Spugmay Keep-

Big Boss finally arrived at the road leading up to Spugmay Keep, leaving the jeep just off from the road and he jogged up to Spugmay Keep in hopes of finding the Film Canister.

"Boss, our intel team has scanned Spugmay Keep and found a few hostiles patrolling the Keep. Wouldn't be surprised if they are looking for the film, we need to get that canister before they do other wise another link to Cipher will be lost. Get that canister and get back home" Ocelot radioed.

"Consider it done" Big Boss simply responded as he soon saw Spugmay Keep in the distance and instead of following the road he quickly turned down the nearby ditch and headed down it to continue his advance towards the Keep.

The sun was burning high in the sky as Big Boss soon came to the heart of the Keep, making his way back up the hill with his silenced pistol in hand he slowly made his advance into the keep and saw a handful of soldiers searching the whole area, they were not typical russian soldiers.

Big Boss saw they were wearing grey gear almost the same as XOF but what really caught his attention was he spotted a patch on one of the enemy's shoulder pad, Big Boss quickly took cover behind a stone wall and peeked around it to the soldiers.

"Adam, I got a visual on enemy soldiers. They are Cipher" Big Boss continued to look on to the soldiers.

"I suspected they would send their own, guess this information is too sensitive to entrust to the Russian soldiers here" Ocelot stated.

"Whats the advice on killing them?" Big Boss checked put away his handgun and pulled his assault rifle from his back loading it.

"Kill them if you wish, that outpost close to the Keep is occupied by the soviets so they can take the blame this time. Just leave no witnesses" Ocelot advised.

"Sounds good" Big Boss loaded the rifle and after a long deep breath he popped out of cover and opened fire at the unexpected soldiers.

One soldier was met with rounds in his back and he screamed falling to the ground as the others were alerted.

"Contact!" One soldier shouted as they ran for cover out of the firing line. Wasting no time Big Boss rushed out of cover taking down another soldier that popped out off cover and landed a perfect head shot, as Big Boss made his advance his rifle suddenly ran out of ammo leaving him exposed and in that moment the remaining soldiers shot out of cover and opened fire at the legendary soldier as he now dived for cover from enemy fire.

"Find that film! We cant let it fall into Big Boss's hands!" One of the Cipher soldiers ordered to his fellow comrades and one of the soldiers broke from the attack to find the objective and retreat.

Kneeling behind cover loading his rifle with a new magazine and he heard the order from one of the soldiers and now the situation was desperate, not only did he had to kill the soldiers but now he had to do it quickly before the searching soldier finds the film and runs for it.

Lock and loading his rifle Big Boss dived out of cover skidding across the ground opening fire at the soldiers determined to kill him and he managed to unload a few rounds into the chests of two unfortunate soldiers and they crashed to the ground screaming in agony, anger fueled in the hearts of the last two remaining soldiers as they rushed forward opening fire but Big Boss was quick enough to roll quickly behind a pillar.

As the battle went on the soldier who was searching the area desperately for the film canister soon came to waist high pillar and sitting right there slightly covered by rubble was the film canister, wasting no time he picked up the canister and made a run for it towards a nearby jeep they used to arrive at Spugmay Keep.

Peeking slightly out of cover Big Boss spotted one soldier running away and he knew the canister was found and now was being taken away, more gunfire came at Big Boss and he went back into cover and now frustration built within him. Enough was enough so he loaded a grenade into the under barrel of his rifle and taking a chance he popped out of cover and shot the grenade right at the soldiers and the shot hit its mark, a huge explosion went off and the Cipher soldiers were blown to bits as limbs flew all over the place leaving a horrific sight.

Completely ignoring the devastation Big Boss just ran past the destroyed bodies of the men he killed and went right after the retreating soldier which now had the film canister, the remaining soldier made his way down the hill towards his jeep and quickly jumped into the driver's seat and in a panic turned on the engine then put the pedal to the metal.

The back wheels of the truck skidded in the sand then shot off down the road away from Spugmay Keep, the soldier was breathing heavy as he quickly drove away and he believed he got away but all of a sudden a explosion hit the side of his jeep making him lose control and he could only scream as the jeep turned over crushing the soldier and he was shot out of it as the jeep continued to roll away until it exploded, the soldier was on the ground paralyzed as his limbs were crushed and his neck was broken as he looked up to the clear sky of Afghanistan.

The silent moment was soon interrupted by the sounds of approaching footsteps, his heart raced knowing who it was and what horrified him was he was now at the mercy of the man who was coming his way, a few slow painful seconds past and soon Big Boss came into his view and just looked down at him with blood sprayed on his face and his rifle in one hand.

No words were said and all Big Boss did was aim his rifle at the soldier and shot him in the head killing him instantly, it was then he slowly knelt down and checked the soldiers pockets. It didnt take long for Big Boss to finally find his objective in the front pocket of the soldier's jacket and finally in his hand was the film canister.

Slowly standing back up Big Boss just looked down at the film in his hand knowing he finally had a new clue to Cipher, a new clue to his former friend who helped him in Operation Snake Eater.

"Zero...what are you up to?" Big Boss could only whisper as he stood over a dead soldier with a jeep engulfed in flames not to far away. He completed his mission but he knew there was something big on the horizon.

"Silent Butterfly just reminded Wolf how aggressive she can be and Big Boss is one step closer to finding out what Cipher is after, the question is what will happen at the end of this long road?"
