Whoa.. I have a review ALREADY????? Should've done this sooner.
Chapter 1 - A few surprises.
Slowly, the man stepped into the room. Vamp was sitting in a pool of water in the center. That passed. The man dodged Vamp's knives, and had almost beaten him, when Vamp got behind him and knocked him into the water.
"GAHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Then the man's vision shifted to the inside of a VR helmet. Snake took the helmet of, and was greeted by a smirking Raiden.
"Not easy is it?"
"Shut up kid."
"Snake, keep in mind Raiden's part of Philanthropy now. You have to show him SOME respect."
Snake glared at Otacon. He didn't see why he had to fight those fights. Snake got up, and walked over to the computer screen Otacon was working on. He was studying the layout of some fortress. Chances were that it involved their next mission.
"Jack?"
Raiden looked up to see Rose walk into the room. Her stomach seemed too big for even her maternity clothes.
"What is it Rose?"
"I just got back from an ultrasound. we're having twins."
That news shook Raiden's world. Only recently did they decide to have an ultrasound, with this being Rose's eighth month. It was awhile before he snapped out of it. It would have been longer, but Snake punched him to get his attention.
"OWWW!!!!!!!"
"SNAKE!!!!!!"
"What?"
Raiden decided to pay more attention.
"Okay. I've been informed of two Metal Gears in a facility in South America. All the reports say the same thing though. one of them is Ray."
"What the hell?"
"There's more. The other Metal Gear is reportedly a flying model."
It was Raiden's turn to curse.
"WHAT THE HELL???"
"JACK!!!!!!"
"Sorry Rose."
"Let's see."
Otacon called up information on the facility. He learned that Ray had been taken from Ocelot a couple months ago, after he had been reported to mysteriously vanish.
"What's up?"
Then an Asian girl walked in with some items diverted from a military unit.
"Mei Ling?"
"Hi Snake."
"Mei Ling, I thought I told you to stop that!" Snake raised his voice.
"Snake, these were already here."
"Oh. Sorry."
Mei Ling set the box down, and she opened it to reveal something that made Raiden jump.
"GAH!!!!!!!! WHAT'S WITH THE NEEDLES???????????
"I asked Mei Ling to get those from storage. They're vaccinations. You can't just go running around down there. You'd get sick."
Snake picked one up.
"What's the dose?"
"The whole amount. They were prepared ahead of time."
Snake rolled up his sleeve, and jammed the needle in his arm. Raiden apparently passed out.
Snake and Raiden crawled out of the water. They were lucky that Naomi had decided to help them. She had added something to their suits to drive Piranha away.
How is the repellent working? She asked via Codec.
I think I got some in my suit. My arm itches. Raiden complained.
At least you still have your arm. Snake told him.
Raiden accepted that as he made sure his M9 was loaded. Snake adjusted his bandana. Raiden was a little jealous since Snake's bandana gave him infinite ammo.
"Let's go." Snake said.
HOLD IT! YOU'RE FORGETTING A PERSON! Otacon shouted.
What? Snake and Raiden asked.
Then a female mercenary crawled out of the water, and removed the mask of her scuba gear. Her red hair hung down since it was wet.
"MERYL!?!?!?!" Snake gasped.
"Surprised? I asked Otacon to keep it a secret."
"."
Raiden didn't particularly care if Meryl came along or not. Then he got a Codec call directed to him alone. He turned his monitor of in case they wanted to keep this private.
Hello?
Raiden, your monitor's off right? A man with sunglasses and his hair back into a ponytail asked.
Yeah, why?
I want to keep this a surprise from Snake. This is McDonnell Miller.
Master??? Raiden recognized him from his VR of Snake's past missions.
What he didn't know was that the real Master was dead, since the VR didn't simulate everything perfectly.
Master? So you call me that too. Anyway, I might be of some help. I've been around South America you know. Thought it best to warm my bones, and help train the rangers that patrol the jungles.
WOW! I gotta tell Snake.
I just said I wanted to surprise him. I'll call him soon enough. Anyway, call me if you have questions about the animals or plant life down here. My frequency is 140. 68.
Then Master signed off, and Raiden looked up to see Meryl and Snake heading towards the facility.
"WAIT UP!!!!!!!!"
Meanwhile, in a chopper, a man was undoing the ponytail in his hair, and removing his sunglasses.
"Is your plan working, my master?"
Liquid frowned at being called master.
"I told you before, call me Liquid."
Liquid then smirked. He knew his 'Coming-out party' would truly be a blast.
The three mercenaries cautiously made their way past the outer defenses, and were in the outer gates of the compound. Another barrier of stonewalls blocked off the fortress, but there were hangers and a heliport outside that wall. The guards seemed to be expecting something. They tensed as a Kasatka flew overhead. They didn't hear it coming. Then the Kasatka landed, and a man with a shroud over him stepped out. There was trouble understanding the following conversation until our heroes activated the translation system of their Codecs.
"Are you the one who won the bidding for the Metal Gears?" A captain of the guards asked.
"No, but I'll be taking Ray back."
Then the man threw the shroud off, and threw a razor sharp boomerang that zigzagged around, cutting wounds into the men as the stranger ran at incredible speed and caught the boomerang before taking out a sword, and swinging it in the direction of the remaining soldiers. They saw something fly at the men, and cut them in half. Then the stranger put his sword away. Otacon then called.
I have a visual. That man is VR Falcon. He was from Foxhound before it was disbanded. He can do things that normally can only be done in VR simulations.
Then Falcon signaled the men in the Kasatka to come out. A boy with a large power pack hooked to gauntlets came out, playing with a yo-yo.
That's Dynamo. He's very intelligent for his age. Beware, because his yo-yo has some surprises in it, including a way to disperse Chaff.
Then a pale man with scars got out. They didn't need an introduction.
Otacon, Vamp's here! Raiden yelped.
I can see that. He was spotted in Manhattan around the time Arsenal Gear crashed.
Then a ninja stepped out, and cautiously looked around. The three ducked just as he looked their way. They got up a couple seconds later, and were glad he wasn't still looking.
He's called Shadow. His skills as a ninja are sharp. Also, he prefers nocturnal combat, since he can make multiple thermal images appear, and he keeps flash powder handy.
Then someone with a LOT of fireflies flying around him steps out. He has an odd pack on his back.
That's Firefly, another remaining member of Foxhound. You can see why he's called that.
They spy the napalm grenades, and the mini flamethrower fast. Then something non-human hops out, and stays in a crouching position.
What the hell is that freak??? Snake asked.
Drago. According to the files, his genetic patterns were experimented on, and you can see the results.
Meryl got out binoculars, and looked closer. She initially zoomed too close, and got a close look of his scaly hide. She pulled the zoom back, and studied his wings, tail, and other bestial features.
His.His wings and tail are moving like they're real!! She yelped.
They are. Mei Ling said. She sounded somewhat depressed.
Is something wrong? Naomi asked.
Oh. nothing.
Anyway, I personally inspected him myself when Foxhound was still together. Be careful. He finds the use of his altered body natural. He also acts less human than you'd like. Naomi told them.
Then they saw someone in a trench coat get out. His face was turned away. He was also saying something they couldn't quite hear, so Raiden took out his Directional Microphone, and used the splitter so they could all hear.
"Is the base secured?" A British voice asked.
"He sounds familiar." All three mercenaries noted.
"Well. our army's going to be a LIIIIIITTLE late." Dynamo noted.
"Does it have something to do with when you were testing your gauntlets by shooting out of the chopper?" Firefly asked.
"Well.. I accidentally hit a couple of Kasatkas."
"YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"HEY!!!!! IT WAS ON A LOW POWER SETTING!!!!! THEIR ENGINES JUST STALLED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Then the man in the trench coat reached into the chopper.
"Come out of there, you treacherous bastard!"
Then they gasp. The man was pulling Ocelot out of it. Ocelot looked pale and sickly, like he had been treated harshly for a while. His right arm was missing again.
"You are going to regret ever betraying me at Shadow Moses!!!!!" he said as his face came out of shadow, lighting up the features which mimicked Snake's.
Then Snake, Otacon, Naomi, Mei Ling, and Meryl recognized the man in the trench coat.
LIQUID!!!!!!!!!!!!
