Metal Gear Solid: Shadow Agenda

Chapter 8: Pinned

"Snake, we're getting closer. I think it's time for you to go.", Otacon told Snake.

"Right.", Snake said, preparing himself for a swim.

"Your not going without me, Snake.", Lotus demanded.

"Oh no, I don't think so. You're not going to tag along with me on this one."

"Fine, then I'll go alone."

And with that Lotus leaped into the ocean, head first.

"Dammit, she'll never make the swim. See ya later, Otacon."

Snake leaped out of the chopper and into the ocean. As he hit the water, he could see Lotus swimming for the shore. Snake swam after her and grabbed her arm.

"You'll never make it without me, Lotus. The swim's too far.", Snake yelled amist the currents.

He then gave her a rebreather and had her swim close to him.
After a long swim, they finally made it too the coast of the island. They stayed underwater for a while, waiting for gaurds to pass by them. Snake then got up slightly, took off his wetsuit and turned his stealth suit on. He disappeared from Lotus's sight.

"Snake, what happened?"

"I'm wearing a stealth suit. I suggest you not follow me. It wouldn't be wise for both of us to get caught.", Snake warned.

"Not a problem.", Lotus said as she took off the suit she had been wearing and pulled out a small bottle of spray. She then proceeded to spray herself all over.

"This spray will keep me protected from all electrical and infrared devices."

"Hmm.", Snake said, slightly impressed."It's good you came prepared. I am definately not going to babysit you with this one. Now come on, we have to find the entrance."

The two of them stayed out of sight of many of the gaurds around the area and finally found a large area with many metal storage boxes. As Snake and Lotus weaved in and out between the crates, a shot came passing by them, nearly clipping Snakes face. Snake grabbed Lotus by the arm and jumped behind one of the boxes .

"Hahaha.", Snake heard someone laughing."I always loved hunting, but you would be the ultimate prized. Come out, come out wherever you are, little snake."

"Damn.", Snake cursed to himself.

"What is it?", Lotus asked.

"He's got a sniper rifle. He's got us pinned down."

"What are we gonna do?"

"I gotta find out where he is first."

"Well, maybe this will help."

Lotus pulled out a compact from her belt. Snake gave her a questionable look.

"What? A girl has to look her best."

She gave the mirror to Snake and he opened it up. He examined the area behind him and could see a figured overshadowed by a bright light.

"I got em'. I gotta get around, closer to him. I'm gonna need your help. I need you to distract him while I take out that light.", Snake told Lotus. Sher noded her head.

Snake had her walk to the opposite end of the box, and she did.

"When I say go, run over to the box on the far end as fast as you can, okay."

She noded again. Snaked looked in the mirror once more, and the sniper was still locked onto them. He then gave the signal.

"Okay...go, now!"

Lotus ran as fast as she could to the box at the other end. She did manage to distract the sniper, who's attention was now focused on her. Three shots rang off, and then Snake could hear a sudden gasp. He managed to get to about the thrid box ahead of him, when he stopped to turn around. He looked at Lotus. She had a tranquilizer stuck in her leg. As she leaped behind one of the boxes, she came tumbling to the ground. The sniper, not noticing that she was a women, came down from his perch to investigate. Snake watched in his mirror as the sniper went to investigate. As he did, Snake came up around him.

The sniper came around to Lotus and finally noticed that he had hit the wrong person.

"What? A woman?", The sniper said out loud.

Before he could realize what had just happened though, Snake shot out the spotlight, and then landed a drop kick on the snipers back. The gun flew from the snipers hand as he went sprawling to the ground. The sniper managed to get onto to his back only to have Snakes boot shoved into his throat. The sniper grabbed the foot, gasping for air.

"Alright.", Snake said."Now, you've got some explaining to do."
