Metal Gear Solid 3: Enter the Patriots
Chapter 12
Snake could see the elevator he boarded previously in the distance, he ran as fast as a stinger on your shoulder would allow......
With a tiger leap he just managed to catch on to the bottom railing of the elevator. Phew....
Snake could feel the presence of the many soldiers who were riding the elevator in a more reasonable setting. Well, his position wasn't that bad, he was alive, halfway exhausted, and hanging over 200 feet from the dark pit below him.
"I'm getting to old for this....."
He observed as he looked down into the dark abyss below him, his arm that was clutch on the railing of the moving elevator was fresh....but that wouldn't last. Snake could hang on for at least ten minutes, he hoped it wouldn't take that long however.
There was a hatch about 2 feet away from his position, he would go through that to get off...when they got off. The elevator moved along with a humming noise, a new design, it moved 45 degrees perpendicular to the level plain.
The elevator came to abrupt halt, and he could hear his neighbours above moving from the elevator. Once he thought they were cleared he went through the hatch in the bottom of the elevator. It wasn't all clear as he thought, the enemies which were on the lift elevator, were now in front of a massive metallic door, only fifty yards away. He concealed himself behind the corner in the lift area.
"That door..." Snake whispered to himself.
It hit him, this was the same door he remembered from the Big Shell.
"Arsenal Gear........" Snake continued.
Otacon had to hear about this.
Snake: "Otacon, our hunches were right, Arsenal is here."
Otacon: "Good we found her, now for our next plan of action."
Snake: "Well stopping those nuclear attacks is a first."
Otacon: "It doesn't make sense, a nuclear attack is too predictable with a weapon like Arsenal."
Snake: "Yeah, they are being used, probably by Ocelot."
Otacon: "That has to be true, but still a nuclear attack on those American cities would be the biggest atrocity in mankind to date."
Snake: "Yeah, we know what happened in Japan."
Otacon: "That's right, even though we know these nuclear attacks aren't the jist of the plan, we gotta do everything in our power to stop them."
Snake: "I know Otacon. I'm gonna sneak into her now, this Stinger missile I got should come in handy."
Otacon: "About that, we still gotta find out who this mysterious informant is."
Snake: "Yeah, we'll see."
Red flashes filled the area along with a loud buzzing noise which appeared to signal the rising of the door. It creaked open stubbornly, as if it was pushing against an unseen force. After a period greater then a minute, the door was risen completely. Snake glanced from around the corner and counted seven armed terrorist, of the seven, only five of them went in, the other two stood guard by the entrance.
"Damn..." Snake said to himself.
How the heck would he get in now?
The metallic door which had been open, begin to close suddenly. Opportunity was closing as well for Snake. How would he sneak passed two armed, and probably well trained terrorist? Not to mention he had a stinger missile strapped on his shoulder which weighed a good amount of pounds. Snake knew despite all of this, he had to do something, or hundreds of thousands would die. As tough as he was, he still didn't want that on his conscious....who would?
