Chapter 160: More Problems

It was 7:00AM on Mother Base and an orange sun shinned over the massive base of Outer Heaven, it was a perfect morning and the soldiers of Outer Heaven were in high spirits. All except for Big Boss.

Standing in the middle of his office with Ocelot in front of him Big Boss was looking down at the reports of Operation Extraordinary, the photos were finally processed and Big Boss was looking down at one photo which struck him hard. It was a photo of a woman walking with an armed escort of Cipher Mercenaries, anger was burning within him and he was trying to hard not to grip the folder hard and end up damaging it.

"You said this was on the outskirts of Afghanistan?" Big Boss questioned still looking down at the photo.

"It is Boss and the woman in the photo, we double checked everything and it is indeed her" Ocelot stated with his arms crossed.

The air was tense as Big Boss slowly turned around to his desk unable to take his eyes of the photo of the woman who supported him in Operation Snake Eater. "Para-Medic...".

"Yeah, its her Boss. Or Jillian Clark if you use her real name, she is active in Afghanistan and for what ever reason it is it cant be good" Ocelot stated.

"When is it ever good when it comes to Cipher Adam" Big Boss sighed placing the file on his desk.

"So what do we Boss? Should we investigate or leave it be?" Ocelot asked as he moved to a side table pouring himself some whiskey.

Big Boss was silent for a few moments still looking down at the photo, it was quite a shock for him to see Para Medic again. Last time he saw her was at the award ceremony after Operation Snake Eater and he left without saying a word, deep down he knew she along with Zero and Sigint was aware of his mentor's real mission.

He cut ties from them all after the stunt they pulled on creating his clones, it was a deeper betrayal then anything he ever went through. They were now his enemies and one of them was in Afghanistan doing god knows what.

"Can you confirm she is at this huge docking station leading out of Afghanistan?" Big Boss asked turning to Ocelot downing some whiskey. Ocelot placed his glass down turning his head to Big Boss. "We checked over and over again Boss, she is there right now and if the reports are right she wont be leaving just yet".

"What is she after, theres nothing there" Big Boss frowned in confusion.

"Thats why we should head there as soon as possible Boss, do you want me to make preparations?" Ocelot asked and Big Boss took one more look at the photo on his desk before looking back to his friend. "Do it, I want a chopper ready for me in the next hour".

"You got it Boss, what ever it is we will figure it out" Ocelot supported and turned leaving Big Boss's office and Big Boss himself looked towards his window on the left looking at the sun on the horizon.

"What the hell are you up to Para Medic?" Big Boss could only whisper to himself.

-Combat Unit, Wolf's Quarters-

Laying on the ground after a long night of hard stress relieving sex both Wolf and Silent Butterfly was sound asleep with Silent Butterfly resting her head on Wolf's chest with one arm and leg draped over him, last nights activity really took it out of them as normally they were up at 6:00AM on the dot but after the intense session from the other night they were just out for the count.

However after a few seconds Silent Butterfly mumbled in her sleep as she slowly began to wake up, her hand and leg gently moved against Wolf as she moaned opening her eyes and she just felt absolutely fantastic. Finally waking up Silent Butterfly slowly lifted her head of Wolf's chest and looked up to him sleeping soundly, all she could do was smile at her man's sleeping form.

"You amazing man.." Silent Butterfly whispered in Navajo as she leaned up his body giving him a light kiss, in response Wolf mumbled in his sleep but didnt wake up and all Silent Butterfly could do was chuckle.

"I'll let you sleep baby, you deserve it" Silent Butterfly whispered to herself and she gently got up off the floor being careful in standing up and soon she finally got to her feet and saw the complete mess she was in.

Looking down at herself she remembered she dressed up in her Quiet Persona to tease Wolf and saw her harness was half undone, she was missing a boot, her bra was undone and her leggings were torn all over the place especially around the back of her ass when Wolf tore them open, she felt like she was used but she didnt mind it cause Wolf always made her feel good and she just loved having rough sex with him.

Chuckling to herself she took her one boot off and quietly made her way into the bathroom in the next room making sure not to wake up Wolf, soon she finally entered the bathroom and closed the door behind her locking it behind her. Normally she wouldn't do this but deep down she felt a little sore from the sex last night and despite how much she loved being intimate with Wolf she just wanted to relax and recover a little in a nice relaxing shower, because if Wolf entered the shower with her she wouldnt be able to stop herself.

After finally locking the door she sighed in relief placing her hands on the door while lowering her head and all of a sudden she stopped dead in her tracks as strands of her hair came into view of her, she saw her hair was now blonde.

This shocked Silent Butterfly to her core see this sudden change, panic set in and she turned looking to the mirror on the wall and she ran to it in a panic looking right at her reflection with her hands gripping the sink and saw the horror before her.

Silent Butterfly's hair was now completely blonde and what scared her the most was the markings around her eyes, instead of her butterfly markings it was replaced by the form of a bat. The blonde hair and Bat markings around her eyes was exactly identical to Piethos, it was at that exact moment Silent Butterfly knew Pietho's parasite was starting to take over her.

Fear took over her and she turned to the cabinet next to mirror and quickly pulled its doors open in a panic, the cabinet was full of medicine and bandages and she quickly tossed alot of them out breathing heavy until she finally came to the back of the cabinet and right there in a hidden compartment she made was her treatment from Code Talker to counter act the effects of the Piethos parasite.

In a panic she grabbed it with shaking hands and opening it up with a few syringes falling to the ground, her breathing was out of control and she grabbed one and just dropped the box to the ground as she rushed back to the mirror. With a syringe in hand she gripped the sink with her free hand as she looked at herself trying to calm herself, taking a few quick breaths she then hit the needle right in her neck making her grunt and she quickly hit the switch injecting herself with the contents of the syringe.

Silent Butterfly gripped the sink hard with her hand as she shot her head up looking to the ceiling as she gritted her teeth, the counteracting agent suddenly attacked her body and she could feel the Piethos Parasite trying to fight back. The pain was great but she managed to stop herself from screaming as the treatment did battle with the parasite, Silent Butterfly dropped the syringe and gripped the sink with both hands trying to stay on her feet. She closed her eyes tight as her head fell forward looking down at the sink and she just endured the pain of the battle with him.

The pain was similar to when she was on fire in the Cyprus Hospital and she just wanted to scream her agony out but she refused to even do that, she didnt want Wolf to know the potential threat that resided inside her. She loved him too much to have him worry, he lost so much and she didnt want him to lose anything else.

All of a sudden Silent Butterfly's eyes shot open and she threw her head into the sink as she began to puke up black substance, it wasnt blood or bile. What ever it was had something to do with the Piethos Parasite. After a few moments of puking up she finally stopped and the pain soon began to subside and the ordeal brought the sniper to complete exhaustion as her legs gave out and she fell to the ground, her head was spinning and she just had no strength in her legs. What ever happened to her she just prayed the treatment worked.

After a minute or two of recovering from the ordeal she finally was able to move her legs again, gritting her teeth she pulled herself back up struggling a little, however she finally managed to get back to her feet after finally catching her breath.

Her heart was back at a steady pace as she was looking down at the sink full of black substance and she was almost afraid to look up into the mirror in front of her, she was scared the treatment didnt work and the parasite had worked. Despite her fears she knew she had to face it.

Ever so slowly Silent Butterfly raised her head looking back at the mirror and she witnessed the bat like markings around her eyes fading away and her brown hair was finally returning and she just watched as her natural hair color come back removing the blonde hair she once had, Silent Butterfly continued to watch for a few more seconds just to make sure it wasnt going to fail but after a full minute of looking at herself she realized the treatment worked on the active parasite.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she lowered her head in relief, she had never been so scared in her life and she just felt like she almost lost herself. But the tears were not one of relief because she knew this treatment was only to keep the parasite at bay until a proper treatment can be made, but it was a question of when and not if.

Was the parasite gonna come back on the battlefield, was it gonna come back when she slept and to her horror she wondered what if it came back when she was with Wolf in an intimate moment. She could only imagine the horror if the parasite fully took over her.

Suddenly she heard the bathroom door knock and she was startled by it as she looked back to it. "Stef, you alright? Heard alot of noise".

It was Wolf and panic came back, she looked to the ground seeing the mess of medicines, bandages and her treatment all over the floor and suddenly another knock came at the door. "Stef? You Ok?".

Ignoring Wolf she quickly went to the ground picking the contents up fast as she could and stuffed them back into the cabinate, another knock came. "Stefanie!? Answer me!". She could hear worry in Wolf's voice and it broke her heart but she ignored him again as she went to the floor picking up her treatment making sure to leave no evidence. Suddenly she heard the door knob turning as Wolf was now trying to get in and her heart just raced.

Standing back up she put the treatment right at the back of the cabinet making sure Wolf couldnt see it and suddenly she heard clicking from the door, Wolf was lock picking his way in and she was out of time.

Quickly looking at her options she suddenly looked on the top of the cabinet at saw Wolf's cassette player with his headphones in it, it was the perfect cover. Snatching it as quickly as she could she ran back to the sink running the water getting rid of the black substance in it while placing the headphones in her ears.

She heard the lock at the door click open and the door knob turned and she was out of time.

Wolf busted through the door in a panic and his eyes went straight on Silent Butterfly and seeing what she was doing he just sighed in absolute relief. Wolf saw his girlfriend still in her torn tights and half undone harness just rocking her hips with headphones over her ears as she was brushing her teeth, he assumed she didnt hear him cause she was listening to music.

Deciding to have fun he sneaked up behind her making sure not to be seen in the reflection, however Silent Butterfly knew he was there and she just played along pretending she didnt see him coming as she looked down into the sink making sure the black substance was gone, she just continued to rock her hips left and right while listening to 'Maneater'.

Soon Wolf sneaked up behind up wrapping his arms right around her and she jumped pretending to be startled and she just chuckled as Wolf brought her close as he rested his head on her shoulder. "Good morning sexy..".

Silent Butterfly chuckled again taking the headphones off and turned herself around wrapping her arms around his neck as he kept his hands on his hips and they shared a slow sweet kiss, moaning in delight Silent Butterfly tried her best to act normal and not give anything away and as their lips pulled away she just smiled at him. "Hey yourself Wolfy..".

"You had me scared just now, I knocked the door and you didnt answer" Wolf stated and Silent Butterfly sighed. "Oh..sorry about that I locked the door behind me so I didnt disturb you, you needed your rest after all". She then gave a cheeky wink getting a chuckle from Wolf.

"You were fantastic last night Stef, never knew you could be so aggressive" Wolf pulled her close again and they gave each other a quick kiss again.

"Why are you up anyway Stef?" Wolf questioned and Silent Butterfly took one of her hands to Wolf's jaw and traced his jaw with one of her fingers smiling at his fine trimmed beard with her eyes still looking into his. "I wanna spend some time with Cub, or Sniper Wolf as she calls herself now".

Wolf chuckled unable to look away from her green eyes. "That little girl is cute, can only imagine what she will be like when she grows up".

In response Silent Butterfly smirked as she placed her finger and thumb on his chin. "She'll be fine, after all as long as we are around she will be safe. Especially when she has a big Wolf to look after her, and of course DD".

"Hey dont forget yourself." Wolf reminded her as he then ran his hand in her soft brown hair. "She loves you".

"She loves both of us, to be honest Leon...I want to protect her forever." Silent Butterfly revealed with love and Wolf smiled and they went in for a slow loving embrace wrapping their hands around the other with a sigh.

"We're not going anywhere, she has both of us now. And we have each other.." Wolf whispered placing a kiss on her neck and just smiled as he held her with his eyes closed. However Silent Butterfly wasnt smiling as her head rested on Wolf's shoulder, instead she was looking to the distance full of worry. She knew her future just got alot more complicated and with the Piethos Parasite now more active she didnt know what was going to happen.

Right now she just needed to play it cool and go and see Code Talker ASAP, she needed more answers in hopes of ending this parasite once and for all before it takes over her.

-Command Platform-

Sitting in a plastic chair on the highest level of the Command Platform looking out to the sun, Eli had his hands behind his head as he was thinking of a plan to get the child soldiers to help fix Metal Gear Sahelanthropus. He obviously knew what to do but he needed to think it through carefully and make sure the plan wouldnt back fire, he needed to make sure no one would see him and or even suspect him. He needed to be out of sight and away from any incident that may occur.

He spent the entire morning thinking it over and after another thirty minutes of thinking he gave a smirk to himself as he leaned forward on his chair still looking at the sun, he finally figured out what to do.

"Take out Ralph, along with Cub..." Eli calmly commanded and suddenly the floating boy appeared with his breathing echoing through his mask as he looked at Eli still looking to the sun before slowly looking to the floating boy. "Make it look like an accident, make the boys want to leave...".

The Floating Boy gave a slow nod and turned flying over the railings and quickly vanishing again into thin air and Eli slowly stood up looking towards the R&D Platform where Sahelanthropus stood proudly. That was his ticket out of here and it was only a matter of time.

"Time to swat down a couple of bothersome flies..." Eli could only chuckle as he turned around to the door leading back into the platform, he was looking forward to the execution of his plan and it was gonna begin with the death of Ralph and Cub.

"The Parasite Piethos once had is now changing Silent Butterfly and it was so close to consuming her, Silent Butterfly must act fast to prevent another wave hitting her but there is now a danger to Ralph and Cub as Eli executes his plan. As for Big Boss, he is about to begin his mission to find answers on Para Medic being active in Afghanistan.

Problems are coming back in the era of PEACE. One can only imagine whats gonna happen next...THANKS AGAIN GET READY FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!
