Metal Gear Solid 3: Enter the Patriots

Chapter 3

Like an instinct, he called Otacon on the codec.

Snake: "Otacon something weird happen just now..."

Otacon: "What happened?"

Snake: "I just had a gun fight, the guy I fought said he was "Pliskin."

Otacon: "!?"

Snake: "That was my first reaction too."

Otacon: "I dunno what it means, maybe a coincidence, or something more."

Snake: "I'm not putting my money on a coincidence, we've been fooled before..."

Otacon: "That is right, well the "Big Shell" incident was heavily monitored by the Patriots. Hmm…"

Snake: "So, he could be an operative for the Patriots...or rather was"

Otacon: "You killed him?"

Snake: "No I didn't kill him, he drunk some kind of liquid, poison I believe, and his last words were: "Well, you will figure out soon enough...but I ask myself this rhetorical question. Will it be to late?"

Otacon: "That's a little old fashion, he obviously didn't want you to know something. Snake I'll look into it---get to the super computer it's just ahead.

Snake: "Right"

Snake went offline and headed towards the end of the room.

Snake stepped in front of the door where the super computer was reportedly held, the tension in his body remaining normal, his eyes focused ahead, the M9 pistol pointed ahead. The metal plated door opened automatically, and immediately shut once Snake entered through it. In front of him were several monitors, the screens read of codes unfamiliar to Snake, above were catwalks which a figure lurked unnoticed by Snake. The lights in the room were fairly dim, some of them weren't even on. It would be a surprised to anyone that they would keep a super computer of such importance, in such a poorly maintained room.

"This must be it...." Snake said to himself.

His codec ranged involuntarily.


Otacon: "Snake, that is the super computer room your in"

Snake: "I can see that---where do I insert this virus...hmm."

Otacon: "Snake their is a ROM slot on the left end, insert the disc there"

Snake: "Ok I got it."

He move in closer towards the left end, he saw where the slot was and open it, putting the disc in, then closing it immediately. He watched as the virus upload begin to go up slowly. A few brief movements passed and the upload was complete. Snake smirked when he took the disc back out. Suddenly, laughing could be heard from above the catwalks. Immediately Snake aimed his gun in that direction, but he couldn't make out who the figure was, for he was in the shroud.

The man in the shroud walked across the catwalk slowly, but in great stride. He was laughing hysterically, the laughter grew louder with every step into he stopped. Snake knew the laughter sounded familiar, but he still couldn't make out who it was.

"I must say, Snake, you seem to always complete missions successfully for us." The shadowed figure said calmly.

It took only a millisecond for Snake to decipher the voice.

"Ocelot!!" He yelled out.

"That's right Snake, you completed it just as plan.

"What the hell are you talking about Ocelot?" He cried as he focused his gun at Ocelot.

"That disc you enter was a virus similar to that woman made a year ago, you think we wouldn't have made an antibody agent program to counter that virus by now?"

Snake chuckled with his next statement

"We did, that is why Otacon updated it a bit."

"We compensated for that as well"

"How the hell!?"

"You think you could find Arsenal's super computer so easily, eh Snake?"

"!?"

"That is a dummy super computer, you merely gave us the virus!"

"...."

"As we speak an antibody is being made, Arsenal won't be infected with whatever you friend programmed."

"Sonof--"

"That's right, Snake, you should know by now-----You can beat the Patriots!!!!

Ocelot begin to motion his hand to his gun, Snake immediately dived behind a pillar obstruction by his position. Ocelot twirled his gun up and around in a fancy fashion, before firing of three rounds towards Snake. The bullets missed by no more then an hundredth of a centimeter, they hit the metallic surface that surround Snake. Snake landed rolling up into a crouched position.

"Snake you have lived your life on the edge all your life......It's ironic it will end here." Ocelot said in a normal tone.

Ocelot took out his radio and begin to speak into it.

"All assault teams come to the level B2 area, we got a Snake that needs killing."

Ocelot disappeared into the shadows to where he came.

"Damn!!!" Snake said in a loud tone.

Snake's adrenaline was pumping, for he knew he had a limit time to stick around. His original escape route was aborted, because he was spotted. Snake begin to run across to the other side of the room, he could hear SEALS entering from the side he came in.

"Standard clearing boys, green take the flank, red stay with me." One of them said aloud.

Snake immediately called Otacon on the codec.

Snake: "Otacon, damn it was a setup!!!!!"

Otacon: "I don't understand....how could----"

Snake cut him off what his next statement.

Snake: "Never mind that...Otacon is there another way out of this place?

Otacon: "Give me a sec...."

The SEALS drew closer, Snake rested his SOCOM on his chest waiting for Otacon's suggestion patiently.

Otacon: "Snake I got it!!!"

Snake: "So where?"

Otacon: "There is a sub in level below you, get on that, the schedules show that is prepared to leave in approximately six minutes."

Snake: "Board their sub huh? Guess it's better then sitting here waiting for death."

Otacon: "Snake I don't know where it's headed."

Snake: "It doesn't matter, I gotta get the hell out of here."

Otacon: "Right Snake."
