Snake jumped back, shocked from the new information.

"Ot..ot..Otacon!?" He looked at the console in disbelief.

"There's gotta be a mistake, Otacon would never do anything like that."

He yanked the disc out of the tray, and put it in a case and ran out towards the door. He paced towards the door across the hall and entered a dark room, lights flickered on and off occasionally, he heard foot steps infront of him and he pressed his back against a nearby wall, and listened for the footsteps. Snake quirked an eyebrow as a computer turned on and he heard keys being typed. He peeked around the corner, and saw Otacon sitting there, with Tyde behind him looking over his shoulder.

Tyde exited the room and Snake snuck up behind Otacon and smirked looking down at him. He held his Socom to his back and smirked "Well, buddy what are you doing here?"

"Sn..S..Snake!" Otacon exclaimed.

"Yes, now explain to me why you turned on me!!!" Snake said angrily at Otacon.

"I..I…" Otacon seemed to be searching for answers.

Otacon activated his Stealth Camouflage and darted out of the door.



Snake ran after Otacon, but he had gotten further infront of him, and Snake gave up. A man walked in the room, he was wearing a Sneaking Suit like Snake. Snake rolled behind a wall, peeking around the corner the man neared Snakes position.

Snake jumped out in front of the man, and yelled "Freeze!"

The man looked at Snake and grinned, Snake looked down at the man's M4 Assault Rifle. "Drop your weapon," Snake said.

The man dropped his weapon and looked at Snake still grinning "What's so funny?" Snake asked the man an angry tone in his voice.

Before the man could answer, Snake was hit in the back of his head with a lead pipe.

"Argh.." Snake grumbled, his vision was blurry, and he was strapped to something, his arms and legs. He looked in front of him, seeing Otacon working at a computer and the man with blue hair was looking at Snake, grinning.

"I see your regaining consciousness, Snake." The man said.

Otacon then turned around seeing Snake awake, he grinned slamming his fist into Snake's stomach. "Wake up son of a bitch!"

Snake groaned and coughed up some blood. "Otacon, you bastard." Snake grumbled.

"You brought this upon yourself, Snake." Otacon said.

"And how is that!?"

"In the Son's of Liberty operation, it was your fault that E.E died!!! Vamp didn't notice you on that perch. You had an open shot, you could've saved her life, but you didn't!" Otacon said, holding back tears.

"I..I.." Snake hesitated to speak.

"That's enough," The man with blue hair said.

"Snake, my name is Tyde, and I am the pilot of the new, Metal Gear X. All other Metal Gear projects have been canceled, including Arsenal. Arsenal was too much of a waste, plus that virus that Emma Emmerich constructed was the end to it." Tyde explained.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you should know these things before you die, these shackles on your hands and feet are charged with 2,000 volts of electricity, and the lethal poison, Arsenic." Otacon said, grinning.

Raiden jumped in on the conversation from the vents above, shooting the control console, and holding his gun to Tyde's head. But before he could to anything, they both slipped into Stealth Camouflage and darted out of the room.

Raiden freed Snake, and gave him his gear. "Doesn't this seem awkward? It was only a year ago that you gave saved me and gave me my gear." He said, chuckling.

"Thanks Raiden, I owe you one for sure." He said patting Raiden on the back.

"You really saved me back there, man but Otacon's gone crazy."

"Yeah, I noticed." Raiden added.

"He says that it was my fault that Emma died."

"I heard."

"Well, we better get back to work, did you find anything Raiden?"

"No, nothing much."

"Ok, then."

Snake paced to the right, still putting on his gear, and entered a door, the room was quiet, except for the electronic buzz of computers, and lights. He looked on the computer screen seeing the layout of 'Metal Gear X' on the screen. Snake examined the screen and someone walked in the door, surprised Snake aimed his gun at the man.

"Who are you!?" Snake asked the man.

"My name is Kaos."

"Kaos…weird code name."

"Thanks, I like it."

Kaos' eyes widened and he rolled to the side ripping a M4 Assault Rifle from a strap on his chest, and shooting an enemy soldier behind Snake.

"Whoa, your good. What we're you trained under?"

"I was trained by a man named 'Grey Fox'."

"'Grey Fox'!? I thought he died years ago. I saw it myself, he was crushed by the force of Metal Gear REX." Snake asked Kaos a puzzled look on his face.

"He told me about that, he said that he barely survived, he was rescued by a Military group that was patrolling the old area of this 'Nuclear storage facility'." Kaos explained.

"Well, my frequency is 118.89. Contact me if you need me." Just that instant Kaos jumped up, in a blur of light and sound he darted out of the room with incredible speed.

Snake blinked blankly at what just happened he is faster than 'Grey Fox' was. Snake blinked and began searching for more information on the new Metal Gear.

Raiden began walking towards a door, with the number '5' on it, he approached and the door gave out an electronic hum, and it sprung open, Raiden stepped in cautiously and he looked around seeing a soldier. He rolled behind him and held a 12mm USP to the back of his neck. "Freeze!"

The guard shook, and his dog tags made a sound.

"I said Freeze!" Raiden shouted at the guard.

Raiden saw a line running down the guards pants leg, Raiden let out a sigh, and pushed the guard and punched him in the back of the head knocking him unconscious. Raiden walked past the guard and looked around the corner seeing a large computer, and a gangplank leading down.

Raiden walked to the computer looking around. He turned seeing a large arm on the left side of the computer about 50 yards away from it. "That must be..the arm of the new Metal Gear. They must be extremely cautious to be holding the main parts in separate rooms. Raiden turned around and put his hand to his ear, turning on his Codec.

"Snake, Raiden here."

"Yes, Raiden? Find anything useful?"

"In fact, I did. I found the right arm to Metal Gear X. It's in the main cargo hold."

"Great, Raiden! It seems that we have another ally on our sides, his names Kaos and his frequency is 118.89."

"Got it." And the Codec conversation ended.

Raiden heard distant claps, and he looked up on the arm of Metal Gear X and standing there was no other than Liquid Snake. "Liquid!" Raiden took a few steps out drawing his AKS-74u.

"Don't move! Or I'll blow you straight off that Arm, like last time 'eh?" And Raiden chuckled remembering the story of Liquid falling off Metal Gear REX.

"I wouldn't be laughing like that if I we're about to die." Liquid added, smirking.

Raiden rolled to his left and fired a round at Liquid, and reloading after he did. Liquid ran up and down the gigantic arm, dodging all of the bullets. Liquid jumped to the platform, where Raiden was and began punching at his face. Raiden strafed to the side, firing a few bullets at Liquid, he dodged to the side, but Raiden caught him with a left hook to his jaw.

"Damn you!" Liquid shouted in agony.

Raiden grinned, and punched him in the stomach one time. Liquid stumbled backwards, falling over the railing.
