Whoa. four reviews already? Wow!

Forte: Meh.

Beelzemon: Oh no. leave me alone when I work on this fic, okay?

Chapter 2 - Rising Heaven is born.

Liquid threw Ocelot down onto the ground. Ocelot coughed as dirt filled his nose and mouth. His hoarse cough proved that he was ill. Vamp then jumped toward him, ready to cut him to pieces. Liquid stopped him.

"Why are you stopping me???"

Liquid smirked.

"If you kill him, his suffering will end. Do you want that?"

Vamp caught the meaning of Liquid's words. Then a couple of soldiers in Jungle camouflage walked to him.

"Sir, the base has been taking over. We have the designer of Aero in the prison cells."

"Excellent."

Then one soldier walked up to Firefly.

"Uh. the plants you wanted in that greenery room aren't done yet."

Firefly frowned.

"Then why the hell aren't you working on that????"

"Some of the men refuse to be forbidden from smoking around there. they're a bit drunk, so."

"THEN I'LL GIVE THEM A LIGHT!!!!!!! WHERE ARE THEY???????"

"Mess hall."

Firefly stomped off into the base. Liquid meanwhile, was observing the strategic advantages of this base.

"This place shall be the birthplace of a world where warriors shall reign. A WORLD WITHOUT THE PATRIOTS!!!!!!! This place will go down as surpassing the legend of Outer Heaven!"

"What will you call it, my master?" Shadow asked.

Liquid ignored the title.

"This place will forever be known as.'Rising Heaven.'"

Then they went inside the fort, leaving Ocelot lying on the ground, trying to get up. When the soldiers left, the three mercenaries went up to Ocelot. Ocelot recognized them.

"{Coughs} So.the two 'carrier boys' {Coughs} and the 'carrier girl' {Coughs} came to gloat over my pain."

Snake grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up.

"TALK!!!!!!!!"

"Snake! Look at him!"

Snake listened to Meryl, and decided to put the decrepit man down.

"I only know a little of Liquid's plan. {Coughs one last time to get the dirt out of his lungs.} Liquid plans to use the Metal Gears housed here to take down the Patriots, and bring about the change in the world he wanted at Shadow Moses."

"How's he back? I thought he was in your arm?" Raiden asked.

Meryl was obviously confused.

"Huh?"

Ocelot ignored her.

"Those bastards with him sawed off my arm and put it back on him. then they did something to his to restore his cells, and revive him."

"Sawed?" Raiden asked.

"They used a chainsaw and cut it off above Liquid's arm. Then they removed what tissue was mine from it carefully."

"Gross!" Meryl exclaimed.

"They didn't use any painkillers either."

"Looks like they wanted you to suffer."

"Daily electrocutions by that brat. followed by bloodletting, being locked in a heating box, and given Isolation torture. I'm glad I'm still sane."

Ocelot drew a revolver. His hands couldn't hold onto the gun, and it fell from his hands.

"Can't even hold my guns anymore."

"How the mighty have fallen." Raiden said.

"What???"

"Remember how high and mighty you were acting towards us? Seems ironic you've become so weak. and fitting." Raiden said, coldheartedly.

RAIDEN!!!! Rose gasped at his lack of pity.

"Maybe I deserved this." Ocelot said, "I know they'll lock the front gate, but there are other ways in. The waterways beneath it connect to the inside, and an air duct leads in as well. The only way besides those is through the bunkers over there." He points to bunkers.

"What do you know about the other Metal Gear?" Snake asked.

"Aero? It's a flying Metal Gear, and it uses."

"Uses what?"

Ocelot never finished. Blood started flowing from his mouth, and he fell down dead, VR Falcon behind him with a look of feral pride in his eyes as his boomerang flew back to him, with Ocelot's blood staining the shining yellow metal.

"YOU????"

"Liquid wouldn't like it if Ocelot talked. He sent me back here to kill him."

All three heroes aim their weapons at him.

"Don't try it. I'm as fast as Quick man."

Only Raiden asked.

"Who?"

". Never-mind."

Snake fired his M4, Meryl her Desert Eagle, and Raiden his M9. Falcon merely batted the bullets away using the gauntlets on his arms to do it.

"Too slow!!!!"

Then the main gate into the fortress started closing very fast. Falcon ran faster than they could follow, and stuck his tongue at them just as the gate closed. An aura of silence formed.

Otacon? We have a problem. Where are there ways inside? Snake asked.

Ocelot was telling the truth. Only those three ways lead inside.

I'll take the air ducts. Meryl said.

I'll take. Raiden started.

Bunkers. Snake finished, leaving Raiden with his choice of waterways.

Uh. I may sound stupid for asking, but who's this 'Quick man' Falcon referred to. Raiden asked.

I already did a data search. Rose answered, . the only thing that matches is a video game called 'Mega man'. Apparently, Quick man is one of the 'robot masters', and is noted for being incredibly fast.

Looks like your lead's a dud. Meryl playfully told Raiden.

That's it??? . Wait a second. VR. THAT'S IT!!!!!!!! Raiden shouted, surprising them.

What's it? Naomi asked.

Falcon's abilities are based on those from video game characters. Raiden told her.

Why that's absurd! Naomi told him.

He's also right. Rose informed Naomi, This says Quick man's weapon was a boomerang, and that in one incarnation, he could easily deflect shots as long as he wasn't moving around.

Well. looks like the kid hit pay dirt. Snake noted.

Could be. I'll look into Falcon as well.

Then the three split up, hoping to stop Liquid.

Well, it was bound to happen. someone was bound to base themselves on a game guy, and Falcon's it.
