Metal Gear Solid 3: Enter the Patriots
Chapter 16
The soft tapping of clapping could be heard from afar, a man could be seen appearing from the shadows. Dress in a brown army fatigue now, it was Ocelot...
The spurs gave it away, they made the catchy metallic tone when he walked.
Target didn't take his eyes off Snake for he already knew who it was.
"Your weapons, toss them."
Snake did so, tossing them across Arsenal.
"Deja Vu, eh Snake?" Ocelot said in a even tone.
"Huh!? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Well, like last time, I guess charades are done."
Target immediately spun around and turned around.
"Ocelot!?" He said confused.
"You all wondering why you're here eh?"
Siren had made her way over to where they were by now, she stood next to Target who supported her up because of a sprained ankle she had suffered in the crash.
"Ocelot, what are you talking about?" she said weakly.
"I sorry to inform you, but your launch has been aborted."
"What!!!?" Target cried out.
They both looked at Ocelot in shock, Snake looked on confused as well.
"I had nothing to do with it, it seems we have a third party operating in on this. But the it is no matter, the launch was never "our" true plan."
"What are you talking about Ocelot?" Target demanded.
"Your plan was flawed, there are many other ways for disrupting a country. But "we" felt your way was too extreme. We need only to control the youth, and the information to disrupt what we want."
"Ocelot, are you telling me, a bunch of snotty brats and computers can disrupt the future?!"
"No, I'm telling you it can and will."
"!?"
"Who will be tomorrow's leaders? And what will they use to fuel them into the next generation? Yes, the youth, and the information. We control the information, which means we control any country fate. What we say is so. It is as simple as that."
"...."
"Your way was a way, but we weren't going to let it go down."
Snake cut in.
"Just what is the point of the Patriots doing this, it doesn't make any sense!"
"That is the biggest question isn't it? The Patriots use the world to stage their drama. We keep the world in balance. War, famine, disease, peace, prosperity etc, etc. All controlled by the Patriots. It is up to us to keep this in the balance, you think you can do it yourself Snake?"
"Why all of this!?" Target said angrily.
"Yes, I found it unnecessary. Our plan was completed back in the Bermuda."
"With the Disc?"
"No, the apparent SEAL Snake fought." Ocelot countered.
"I know, those were my men, the SEAL logos they had were a cover."
"One of them weren't your men Target."
"What!?" He said stunned.
"Are you familiar with the S3 project that was under went at the Big Shell?"
"Yes..."
"Well, after that incident, the S3 had some flaws in it. We weren't too happy with this and decided that Snake was needed once again, to perfect it. The original way of doing it would be by making Snake get implanted with an AI directly into his brain. However, we couldn't just make Snake surface like that."
Snake looked on with extreme concentration for the next few parts.
"Snake once you were in that room fighting the person we placed, their precious data was being collected. Technology these days, I don't understand it myself."
Ocelot paused briefly and went on.
"Oh and Snake, you might have figured this out already, but it was us who told that Russian about the location. Anything dealing with Nukes, and I knew she would believe us. And so would you."
" I don't understand, what is the main goal of this S3?"
Snake had to know this!
"You heard enough and now, Arsenal, and any evidence of this occurring will go down in flames."
Target was boiling with anger, Ocelot could see that and he begin to smirk.
"Angry are you? You should be. You've been double crossed."
Ocelot began to run down towards the starboard area of the ship. Target shot at him, but his shots just bounced off the invisible force field that was around him.
"You done yet?" Ocelot asked sarcastically.
In his hand was a trigger...
"Ocelot!!!!!!!!!!" Target yelled
"Goodbye, 'Comrade' "
Ocelot drew his revolver with the other hand and fired off a shot at Target. Siren jumped in front of him taking the bullet.
"Siren!" Target screamed.
She fell to the ground gasping for air. It seemed to have gotten all silent, as Target dropped down to his knees, leaning her head under his hand.
"Siren why did you, I had this on? It would have protected me.." He was talking about his suit which could take most bullets or so he thought.
"No Target, I sense it wouldn't have this time." She said in a low voice, but loud enough for Ocelot to hear.
"That's right, she just saved your life, that suit was way over do."
Her eyes closed and just like that...she was gone...
"Ocelot, I'll kill you!" Target threatened.
"Its over, I'm gonna send you to your grave!"
Ocelot pressed the trigger and Arsenal began to rumble under its power. The main generators were over powering which would cause a massive implosion that would bring it down.
Target drew his weapon and fired at Ocelot, but he found it was no use. Stubbornly, he kept firing until the clip just made a annoying clicking noise.
"Crack....."
Ocelot had fired a hole through Target's heart.
"Good shot, ironic, isn't it?..." He said to himself, as everything begin to get blurry.
Target crawled over to Siren's body.
"I'm the Target..."
He dropped falling vertically over Siren...Lifeless...
Ocelot dropped his gun. He had saved those two engraved bullets for the both of them. Good riddance…
Snake was now on his feet and had recovered his weapons. His opportunity to do something was now.
"Ocelot!" Snake yelled as he pointed his Socom at him.
"Oh, Snake, I almost forgot about you. Unfortunate, you will meet your demise here. The Legendary Snake, its ironic that the thing you dedicated your life to fighting will destroy you."
Ocelot ran off, but didn't notice he had clumsily dropped a disc from his coat. Snake did, running to pick it up.
