(Time passes, and the final arrangements are made.)

Fatman

Raiden, Rose

Snake, Mei Ling

Otacon, Emma

Solidus, Ocelot

Vamp (All alone ^^)

(All the people dumb their luggage into their designated tents, and meet up in their groups. Snake's gang begins their trek, first heading to the left.)

Solidus: Hmmmm...(studies the paper) The first object is...a pinecone. Arg, this reminds me of Grade school.

Snake: There's gotta be cones in that damn forest area over there. Hurry up people! I don't want to be voted out! C'mon, let's win win win!

(The quintet trample carefully into the thick, green foliage)

Raiden: So many trees, I can hardly see in the distance...

Emma: (her eyes are glued to the ground) Oooh, found one! (lifts up a massive cone with the help of Solidus)

Solidus: (mutters angrily) If we weren't a team in this game, I'd eliminate all of you.

Rose: Where do we put all our discoveries?

Raiden: Don't you mean items? I would consider a discovery more like something absolutely astounding and essential—something that has helped the world with its existence...

Snake: Stop acting all smart, kid. (whaps him)

Raiden: Hey, watch it!

Snake: Shaddap. (shoves the cone in his pocket) What's next on the list?

Solidus: A feather of a bird. This list is so retarded. I mean, honestly, who do they take us for?! Why, I could crush this island to pieces!!

Emma: You're ruining the fun for the rest of us!

Snake: Fun? (laughs hysterically) The only way this could possibly have the slight bit of "fun", is if the damn kid were to haul his albino ass elsewhere!

Raiden: I've had it up to here with you!! (His eyebrows narrow angrily) Why don't you take this list, and SHOVE it!

Snake: Okay I will. (realizes what was said moments later) HEY! THAT'S IT! GET OUT!

Raiden: (he sighs, one of his "Why-didn't-you-ever-tell-me" kind of sighs) I'm going!! (he walks off, deeper in the forest)

Rose: I'm coming with yooooou! (runs after Jack)

Snake: Good, that gets rid of both of them. (cracks his knuckles) Let's continue.

Emma: Erm.......Okay.

(In The forest)

Rose: Jaaaaaaaaack!

Raiden: (looks in the distance, seeing an indistinguishable figure chase him) (he breaks into a sprint)

Rose: (screams) JAAAAAAAAAAACK!

Raiden: Huh? Who are you?

Rose: (her form emerges from behind a tree) Me!

Raiden: I didn't recognize you. (stops running with a sigh) Why did you leave the group?

Rose: I wanted to be with you...(pushes a strand of brown hair from her eyes)

Raiden: (Thinks: I don't like where this is going...can't she leave me alone?) Hmmmmph. (It wasn't much of a response, but it was sufficient.)

Rose: Look at the sky...it's beautiful...

Raiden: (lifts his head) It is...

(We leave the duo, to check how Ocelot's team is doing)

Ocelot: Three items already. Gooooood. Many of the objects are in this forest. How simple.

Vamp: Since we have a good start...how about we hunt a bit? (licks his lips again) I am becoming a bit...how should I put it...ravenous.

Fatman: (Having hardly walked a few metres, he is gasping heavily) Where's the food? (drool runs down his greedy mouth)

Otacon: You guys do whatever. (pushes up his glasses)

Mei Ling: (puts a finger to her lips) Did you see that?

All: What?

Mei Ling: Shhhhhhhhhh...I saw an animal running...Otacon, quick, get that bow and arrow we found!

Otacon: I never knew you ate meat..!

Mei Ling: Can you see it? It's just standing there!

Ocelot: I'll have to trust you, I can't see to well far away...

Vamp: Are you talking about that dot in the distance? (his "slits-for-eyes" scan the landscape)

Fatman: Kill it, kill it! (sits down) I'm starving!

Mei Ling: (nods to Vamp) Try not to waste the arrows. As Confucius said "Caution is the seldom err."

Vamp: (slips the shaft into the bow) Eh?

Mei Ling: Never mind. (smiles)

Vamp: (his aim is perfectly steady on the dot) One...two...

(Hmmm, we have neglected Rose and Raiden for a while...let's return to the serene surrounding.)

Raiden: This island is wonderful. (he inhales deeply) But somehow, this place is a bit...too quiet.

Something's going to happen---I can feel it.

Rose: (listens) ? What was that whistling noise?

Raiden: O.O" (An arrow is protruding from the centre of his chest)

Rose: Hmmm, I'm sure it was nothing. (gasps) Oh Jack, look at that pretty little bird over there!

Raiden: !...(looks at the arrow, and yet another sinks into him again, right beside the other) What the hell?

(He sways on his feet, his senses becoming sluggish) Two arrows are...too much! (The surroundings swirl around him) Okay, I think...I'll...I should be okay....as long as----(A third arrow pierces into him, joining the other 2) God, I'm bad at this... O.O (falls like a log, as if someone had tipped him over)

Rose: Jack, are you listening? Aw, you missed it! Jack.....Jack?

(Our view shifts to Snake's team, which is reduced to only 3 people)

Emma: How many items do we have now?

Snake: Only 3, but.....WHOA! Check it out, the other group's runnin' towards something. Shoot!

Solidus: It's not over yet...we will beat them there! (smiles)

Emma: Huh, what are we doing?

Snake: Running! Now hurry up, girl!

Emma: My legs! They're flimsy! HELP!

Snake: For the love of...(picks Emma up in his arms and holds on to Solidus' tentacles, for he is moving at a tremendous pace) Hey old man! They're almost there, so move it!

Solidus: Grrrrrrrrrr, I'll have your head when this is finished, and hang it up in my living room...

(When both groups meet up at the same time, they are both in for a surprise. They find Rose panicking like a maniac, and Raiden's recumbent form on the ground)

All: !!!!

Rose: Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...(shakes her hands, raving and ranting)

Otacon: Oh my god, someone will have to tell Jeff about this...

Fatman: No food? (tears form in his sunken eyes)

Solidus: Y ou mean about how insane Rose is, or what happened to Jackie boy?

Snake: (looks around) What the hell happened to the kid?

Otacon: Appears he was shot down with arrows...

Snake: Well, tell me something I don't know, Point Dexter!

Otacon: Oh, sorry. (mutters meekly)

Emma: Let me see...(kneels down, examining the shaft ends that are extruding) I'd guess that this is a special type of point that's been dipped with poison, or something. Can you see the red stripes along it?

Otacon: POISON?! (stares at his team in dismay) Didn't you read the sheets of information that came along with the bow when we found it?

Vamp: (ignores Rose) Um, no. (suppresses a laugh) Eh...Fatman made good use of that when he had to "do his business" outside.

Fatman: I couldn't find toilet paper!

Snake: Ugh! (sticks his tongue out in disgust, swearing) Of all things, don't make me picture your fat a-----

Mei Ling: Snake! (glares at him)

Snake: You're no fun. If you weren't here, I'd be cussing my lungs out. (lights another cigarette)

Mei Ling: Hmmmm...Well, we can't just leave Raiden here.

Rose: My poor Jackie! What are we going to do?

Ocelot: We're running out of time, it's 6:00 PM already...(mutters) I need my time to torture people...

Solidus: (is overwhelmed with everyone's quarreling and slaps them all with his tentacles) Just SHUT UP ALREADY!! I have an idea. Jack's not hard to lift...(grabs him by the throat with a long, coiling arm)

Snake: (raises an eyebrow) That looks more like torture to me...Jeff's ain't gonna like hearing about this...
