Chapter 165: Les Infants Terrible

"Snake...oh Snake, everything is clear now"

"The futures we saw are one and the same"

"Snake...you will destroy Metal Gear...and you will create a new one in its place"

"Your children..Les Infants Terrible. Snake..your son will bring the world to ruin, your son..will save..the world"

A familer voice echoed in Big Boss's mind as he slowly began to wake up, tied to a chair stripped of his gear all except for his trousers and boots and of course he woke up to a severe headache. He was in a small dark room with a single light on the cieling shinning down at him, he had no idea where he was at this point but he knew who captured him.

As his eyes slowly opened he saw drops of blood going on to his trousers and thats when he slowly looked up to his front seeing a Mercenary in front of him rubbing his fists. "You got anything to say now Big Boss?".

Big Boss saw he was a young soldier and possibly trying to make a first impression but not at one point did he intimidate the Legendary Soldier. "Look kid..I've been shocked, stabbed and even had my eye shot out. Your just wasting your time".

Suddenly the door out of the small room opened and Big Boss looked past the soldier in front of him and saw a Commander come in and thats when he saw a look of shock on the Commander as he looked to Big Boss and then to the soldier near him.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" The Commander shouted as he marched up to the soldier who turned around to him in confusion and soon the Commander was right up in his face. "I GAVE YOU NO ORDER TO TOUCH HIM!".

"Sir you said they needed information" The soldier stood to attention and the Commander grabbed him by the throat. "NOT BY TORTURE!". All of a sudden the Commander with his free hand delivered a massive punch to the young man's jaw before throwing him towards the exit of the room.

"Your going in the bring!" The Commander stated and then looked back to Big Boss who had a few cuts from the punches he recieved from the soldier, but Big Boss didnt seemed bothered by it at all.

Sighing in frustration he turned marching to the door forcing the younger soldier out of it and thats when he pulled out his radio. "Big Boss needs medical attention, send a team to clean him up".

The door slammed behind the Commander and Big Boss was now alone in the small room and he slowly looked up to the single light hanging on the ceiling, he honestly didnt know why they kept him alive. Their chance to kill him was when he was near Para Medic back in the Afghanistan Port but now he was god know where, all he could remember was the flashback he had before waking up.

-Twenty Minutes Later-

Sitting still and calming still tied to the chair Big Boss just looked to his front as a doctor sat next to him with a medical trolly nearby, he allowed the doctor to clean his cuts and stitch them up. Big Boss didnt flinch or even speak, all he did was look straight ahead to the door knowing full well who was going to come through it. He seen this a millions times, bring in a families face to ease the tension and hoping extract information. He bet on the existence of Outer Heaven on who was going to come through that door.

Soon the doctor finished cleaning and stitching the final cut and without saying a word he stood up taking his medical trolley with him out of the room, five more minutes had past and Big Boss just continued to look at the door. He had anger and anticipation just waiting for that door to open again. Soon his wait was over as the door slide open and he saw two soldiers on each end of a table walk in and another with a folding chair behind.

Big Boss just watched as the soldiers carrying the table set it up in front of him and soon the soldier carrying the fold up chair set it on the other side of the table facing him, Big Boss looked at the soldiers but they didnt look at him and all they did was turn and leave the room and then thats when Big Boss saw a woman slowly enter the room. It was Para Medic, she was now wearing a black skirt, leggings with black high heels and she was a black sleeve top and she was carrying a folder full of documents.

Their eyes met and they didnt know what the other was thinking as the only thing that could be heard was Para Medic's heels clicking on the ground as she approached the table, Big Boss said nothing as she slowly sat down in the chair set up for her and he watched her gently place her folder down and the two just looked at each other.

"Snake, I'm very sorry to hear what one of our men did. I gave no order for this" Para Medic explained.

"Cut the chatter Clark, I know the plan to capture me was your true agenda and I have a crazy guess that you are taking me to Zero right?" Big Boss stated not happy to see this woman in front of him.

Para Medic lowered her head slightly with her hands rest on her lap under the table and soon she looked back up to him. "Zero just wants to talk to you, there is something we want and all we are asking is that you help us".

Big Boss frowned as he leaned forward. "Help you? Have you already forgotten what I said earlier? You tried to force me to come back to Cipher by using ZEKE against me!".

"I had nothing to do with that.." Para Medic stated and Big Boss just chuckled as he leaned back in his chair. "Maybe..but you were involved in the creation of those things".

"You mean your kids?" Para Medic guessed.

"They are not my kids!" Big Boss shouted out in anger. "They are just meat grown in tubes, they arnt even human..what they are is much more sicker then that and you were responsible for their creation!".

Para Medic was silent for a few seconds over Big Boss's outburst and then she slowly placed her arms on the table looking down at the folder in front of her. She felt hurt over the fact Big Boss saw these kids as just meat and she never knew this side existed within him, he sure was a different man back during Operation Snake Eater.

Soon she slowly looked back up to him. "You may see them as meat but they are you Snake".

Sighing in frustration Big Boss just looked away to the side not wanting to look at Para Medic anymore. Soon Para Medic turned her attention back to the folder in front of her and she slowly began to open it up and inside was alot of classified files.

One by one she slowly turned pages and she looked over Big Boss's mission records. "The project was made Snake, because we wanted to secure your legacy.".

Big Boss slowly turned his head back to Para Medic who continued to slowly look through the files.

"The missions you went on, completed...the amazing strength of your will and determination. One man over coming impossible odds" Para Medic then looked up to the man she once knew. "Is it really that terrible that we wanted an icon like you to live forever?".

"Nothing lasts forever" Big Boss spoke sternly. "People live and die, what you did is inhuman...".

"Maybe Snake.." Para Medic couldn't help but agree slightly. "But it was never an act of betrayal like you claim it to be...we just didnt want to lose a man of your talents. What would the world be like if you were no longer in it?".

"Like I said Clark, people live and die. You have no right to decide how life should live on" Big Boss argued.

"Thats where your wrong Snake, you yourself has seen it" Para Medic placed her arms on each side of the folder. "This world is covered in nothing but conflict, mercenary groups like yours have become a thorn in a world we are trying to create".

"And what is this world of yours?" Big Boss questioned and Para Medic linked her hands together looking at Big Boss. ""Control and Order, thats all we want. To be able to control the battlefields, to be able to control when a soldier will be able to fire a weapon or not".

"If the world continues the way it is, there will be nothing left. Dont you see Snake, War needs to be controlled" Para Medic revealed.

"And you think you are qualified to decide what is necessary and not!?" Big Boss leaned forward looking into the eyes of the woman in front of him.

"Yes, because we are willing to take the burden of the world if it means saving it. Zero plans to reunite the world by governing it from behind the scenes, this is what The Boss wanted..control of the entire world by a group under a single will to ensure unification". Para Medic stated and Big Boss's anger grew as he tried to push forward more but his tied hands where restricting him. But this sudden action didnt even make Para Medic jump.

"The Boss wanted a world where soldiers would not be used as tools of the government!, just like America used me for their own greed!" Big Boss shouted and Para Medic then looked down at the files before her trying to keep calm from the outburst.

Soon Para Medic began to flip the pages once more until she came to what she was looking for and she just looked at it and soon Big Boss looked down to the files seeing the familer words that made him sick to his stomach.

"Les Infants Terrible.." Para Medic calmly spoke and then looked up to Big Boss who was still looking at the file. "Your children...".

She then looked down at the file and began to read the report out. "Utilizing the latest in Analog Cloning technology and the Super Baby Method, an egg from Dr. Clark's Japanese assistant was fertilized with Big Boss' DNA and transferred to the womb of a woman code named 'EVA', who volunteered to be the surrogate mother. This success was the result of multiple attempts, with the project only having borne fruit after dozens of failures. Of the eight embryos created from the fertilized egg, six were intentionally aborted, to promote stronger growth in the remaining two.".

"Yeah I know of the two already" Big Boss sighed in frustration. "David and Eli, what are you getting at Clark?".

Para Medic was silent but soon she looked back to Big Boss. "We have a loose end, we have been hunting him down for a while now. And we know you have him".

"Eli? huh last I heard you abandoned him. Big Boss only mocked a chuckle. "If you want him let me go and I will personally drag him back to you if it means getting him out of my life. I dont care what happens to him, he's a lost cause".

"Snake...Eli" Para Medic was about to speak but she stopped herself as she sighed in frustration and in that stress she pulled out a cassette player from her handbag by her chair and slammed it on the table and Big Boss just looked at it.

"All this hate is towards Zero, thats your real problem. If we wanted you dead we would have done it at the hospital!" Para Medic revealed and Big Boss frowned. "What?".

"It was Zero that kept you safe!" Para Medic then hit play on the cassette player and Big Boss looked down at it as it began to play, the audio revealed the sounds of a heart monitor and footsteps and as Big Boss listened Para Medic leaned back in her seat and folded her arms.

Soon the sounds of a curtain on the tape was heard and thats when Big Boss heard a voice he hasnt heard in ten years.

"Go" The voice on the tape was Zero's and Big Boss took a slow deep breath as he listened.

"I almost thought you wouldnt come" The sound of another man was on the tape and Big Boss assumed it was a doctor.

"Well, your meant to visit hospital before you die." Zero's voice sounded weak and almost broken.

"The trip to the airport was a little dramatic, but the rest was easy..still I had smoother rides...I wont be staying long"

"Because of the soldier yet to be assigned to guard him?" The doctor questioned and Zero chuckled. "Something like that, I'd rather not explain myself to a random soldier".

"I understand" The doctor agreed and Big Boss realized Wolf must have been brought into gaurd him just after Zero's visit but he couldnt believe Zero was a few feet from him, he heard more audio of what sounded like a wheelchair and soon Zero's voice came back.

"Has he woken up at all?"

"No, since he got here months ago" The doctor revealed. "His weekly EEGs shows stable activity levels. There has been practically no change".

Soon the sounds of a wheelchair moved again with slight movement from which Big Boss assumed was Zero.

"Jack?, Jack its me. You look fit to run a country mile"

Every four hours we move his muscles, subject them to load. They're stable..but eventually" The Doctor trailed off. "We have done everything we can to ensure they are ready to move, should he wake up, still..I fear it could be a long time".

Zero hummed in understanding and soon the doctor spoke. "How long will he be here?".

"Indefinatley, its too dangerous to move him. So far only a few people knows he's here"

"I am most grateful to you doctor. And I need you to keep it up.

"We'll do everything we can" The Doctor spoke in support. The tape was silent for a while and Big Boss registered the entire conversation while Para Medic was still looking at him with her arms crossed.

"Can you give us a moment?".

"Of course." The Doctor agreed and soon the tape picked up the audio of the doctor walking away and out of the room only for the audio to pick up the sounds of the heart monitor. All Big Boss could do was listen.

"Jack, can you hear me?"

"Nice place isnt it.."

"I went to a lot of trouble bringing you here. Here, where your enemies wont find you."

"Still the Ocelot is on guard duty just in case, maybe knowing that will help you sleep better."

"I had no intention of coming but...this could be my last chance. If you'd just come to see me first.." Zero sounded really broken and Big Boss slowly looked down to the table in front of him as he continued to listen.

"Do you remember the last time I visited you in hospital? Our first mission together..after the Boss threw you in that river - broke your arm."

"Ah, the good old days.." Big Boss could only close his eyes remembering those days.

"I never told you this, but..I had another team at my disposal back then. With a very special man leading it".

"Maybe he didnt like the arrangement, in any case, this man..seems to have done something to me. Which is why..I am quite sick myself - upstairs I mean."

"There is nothing they can do though I was always the forgetful type as you know, I'm alright for now but they say its a one way street."

"If you dont wake up soon, I wont remember you when you do" This statement made Big Boss slowly open his eyes and slowly look to the cassette player once more".

"I dont mind about myself, but what he did to you...I can never forgive"

"Jack..once your little holiday here is over. Well, who knows when that will be? But anyway..I properly wont be around".

"I'll be somewhere even you cant find me, a tombstone chiseled into the code of a machine. That is all I'll leave to mark my existence."

Big Boss's heart raced hearing Zero once again. A friend turned enemy and both had a different idea of the Boss's will. Despite the years and distance apart, war always seemed to keep them close together.

Soon Zero spoke one last time as Big Boss continued to look at the cassette tape.

"Wake up soon, old friend...time is running out" Zero whispered and soon the tape ended and the room fell silent as Big Boss turned his head looking to the files on the table once more while Para Medic continued to look at him.

"Now do you understand what Zero did to make you safe?" Para Medic calmly asked and Big Boss continued to look at the files on the table."Zero went out of his way to visit you in that hospital, ignored the dangers to him to see you".

It was then Big Boss looked up to Para Medic. "I know Zero, when he does things and hopes for something in return. So despite this just tell me why you set this up?".

Silence fell down on the room again and Para Medic looked down at her folded hands. "Like I said, its because of the Les Infants Terribles Project, we have a loose end we have to deal with". She then looked up to Big Boss. "He is a threat to not only Cipher but also to the future, we cant let him be part of that future. He cant be allowed to live".

Para Medic then leaned forward placing her folded arms on the table while still looking at her old friend. "We would have sent a team to take him down, but I decided to see to it personally..because I my own personal reasons and I want to see it through".

"Never knew Eli would be missed so much" Big Boss mocked and Para Medic just looked at him getting frustrated. But before she could respond the door to the room slid open and an officer walked in and stood to attention.

"Ma'am, Command is asking for a status update" The Officer stated and Para Medic looked over her shoulder. "How long until we arrive?".

"Still a few days away, maybe more as a storm is heading our way but we should be able to sail through it with no issue" The Officer responded and Para Medic looked back to Big Boss and the two just looked at each other.

Brown eyes met blue and each had questions but knew they couldnt be answered, Para Medic knew she wasnt get any further for now. Closing her folder she then slowly got up out of her chair taking the folder with her and before she left she looked down at Big Boss in his chair.

"You will understand what we are trying to do Snake, we dont have to be enemies" Para Medic calmly spoke and Big Boss slowly looked down at the desk in front of him all he had was anger building inside him. "You became my enemy when you created those things, you made the choice to be my enemy...".

Feeling hurt by this Para Medic just turned and headed towards the officer and she stopped next to him as the Officer kept an eye on Big Boss.

"Take him to the brig, I want eyes watching his every move in that cell" She calmly spoke and then walked out of the room and thats when the guards out in the hall came in with rifles in their hands.

Big Boss knew he was in no position to escape just yet, all he had to do was wait for the right moment to strike and deep down he knew it was gonna come very soon. So for now he was going to play along.

"Les Infants Terribles...Zero called it.." Big Boss could only whisper.

"Para Medic and Big Boss arnt getting along, Big Boss is being taken to an unknown location and Para Medic has revealed she is taking this assignment of hers personal. What is gonna happen next? We will find out soon!"
