Metal Gear Solid: Shadow Agenda

Chapter 14: Battle with Travelle

Travelle and Snake eyed each other for quite a while. They were sizing each other up. Snake knew what Travelle was capable of, and Travelle had yet to witness Snakes abilities. Travelle made the first move, sending a massive wave of energy at Snake. The mave felt like a brick wall and knocked Snake back a couple feet. Snake was down on one knee as Travelle came towards him. Snake was quick not to stay down too long though. Snake attempted to bring his gun up and fire at Travelle, but Travelle was one step ahead of Snake already.

Travelle began to run on the wall and then on the ceiling, sparks flying from his feet. He ran up to Snake and flipped off the wall, kicking Snake in the process. Snake went stumbling backwards and eventually landed on one knee again, hands rubbing his face. He felt his nose, and could see blood upon his fingers as he drew his hand back.

"What the hell are you?", Snake asked Travelle bitterly.

"Hahahaha.", Travelle laughed."You like those moves huh? Well, let's just say I'm not your average mercenary. Did you actually think you could win Snake?"

"Hmm...I've dealt with worse.", Snake said sarcastically.

Travelles smile turned to bitterness. If there was one thing that Travelle hated it was someone who did not recognize him as a strong solider.

"You toy with me Snake, but you really shouldn't. If you knew me any better, you would give up...while you still can."

Snake was quick to counter this warning and made a quick leap backwards, grabbing for his gun as he did. Travelle, who was now on the ground again, tried to hit Snake with a wave of force. However, the wave passed over Snakes head as his back came crashing to the ground. Snake then gave a quick tranq. shot to Travelles neck. Though Travelle was strong, he was no match for the quick hitting drugs of the tranquillizer. He tried to balance himself, but, as wobbled towards Snake, he began to collapse on the floor.

"You'll...pay...for this...Snake.", Travelle muttered before finally collapsing.

Snake put his mask back on and searched Travelle for the key card and found it.

"Bingo.", he said as he picked up Travelles body and carried him away.

Snake found a maintenance closet and threw Travelles body into the closet. He the shut the door tightly. He finally headed towards level four, the level the key went to. As he climbed the stairs he could hear a solider coming down, talking on a radio communicator.

"...No, we have not seen him yet sir, but we are checking for him now.", the solider said answering some question Snake had missed.

Snake quickly ended his continuation up the stairs and came back down. He searched around, and decided to hide in the closet where he had put the body.

"...yes, I heard the gunfire too, sir."

Snake waited patiently. Then, he could hear the doorknob begin to rattle. The solider was trying to open the door. Snake tensed up, ready to fight with the man. If had to, he would fight, again.
