Well. I guess I should update this.

Chapter 7 - The heat is on.
Snake, Raiden, and Meryl went in different directions. Firefly couldn't chase all three of them.
"Oh. So THAT'S your game."
Firefly took out a couple of napalm grenades, and threw them randomly. Raiden jumped as one burst open behind him. He looked back, and wondered why the plants weren't catching fire. He decided to call Otacon.
Otacon, why aren't the plants catching fire?
They've been biologically engineered without the plant oils. Normally, they need them or they can't be pollinated, but for some reason, his fireflies pollinated them.
Weird.
Raiden, his endurance nanomachines aren't like yours. They can be jammed by chaff. Fire at him after dispersing chaff.
Raiden was glad he called.
"SNAKE!!! USE CHAFF!!!!! HIS ENDURANCE NANOMACHINES ARE JAMMED BY CHAFF!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Tattle tale!"
Firefly then sprayed oil around Raiden, and ignited it, trapping him in a blaze. Snake threw a chaff grenade, and Meryl fired at Firefly. Firefly ducked the shot, and threw a napalm grenade at them. Both were hit, and trapped within flames.
"Didn't even need my light."
Raiden was angry. He wouldn't die like this. However, he couldn't see through the smoke.
"I can't believe I'll die like this."
Absentmindedly, he reached for his hair. He removed the wig, revealing his true hair. He looked like a young Liquid now; save for the fact his hair was ruffed and spiky from being under the wig so long. Raiden refused to go out like this. He raised his gun, and fired.
"AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!"
Firefly began to feel drowsy. He hardly paid any attention to Raiden as he ran to Snake, despite the flames, and grabbed his Socom.
"Go."
The fireflies obeyed his command. They flew at Raiden, buzzing him, and distracting him. Raiden ignored them, and aimed at Firefly's head. His vision was obscured, but he knew he'd hit. He fired.
"GGAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Firefly's scream was music to Raiden's ears. The flames around Snake and Meryl died down. They went over to Firefly, who was still alive. Firefly attempted to blind them, but Raiden snatched the flashlight from his hand.
"I. no. . he-he-he-he-he-he.."
"Huh?"
"I won. BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Firefly then dropped an unnoticed dead man's switch, which ignited a massive fire. The three rushed out the way they came in, and ran into the guy Firefly was chasing.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! . Oh, you're not Firefly."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Peter Cushing."
"Yeah right."
". Not THAT Peter Cushing! Geez. I get that kind of joke all the time."
"Are you the designer of the new Metal Gear?"
"You mean Aero? Yeah."
"What's so special about it?"
"It can fly, but you probably knew that. It's uses air particles to charge a laser though."
". So you exchanged firepower for mobility?"
"No. It can also causes tornados, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones. any natural disaster relating to weather. Even lightning, which is what the laser is. a prolonged lightning bolt."
"Prolonged lightning bolt?"
"Lightning reaches temperatures hotter than the sun's surface. However, they aren't sustained for long, which is why they aren't so dangerous. Aero can keep a lightning bolt going on a target for over a minute, longer than needed to melt anything."
"Oh crap."
"It's more devastating than a nuke, and guarantees destruction without fallout. That's what I designed it for. However, its armor is very thin. Gunfire can penetrate it.. If you can hit it. The design was for resistance to heat, not weapons."
". Why do I have a feeling you don't just mean it's laser?" Snake asked.
". It can fly at mach 4 if given the room."
"Oh SHIT!!!!!!"
"YOU'RE TALKING TOO MUCH, PETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
They turned to face Falcon just as he a circular object at Peter. It flew by Peter, and embedded itself in the wall. Then a spurt of blood from Peter's neck proved it decapitated him. Peter slumped to the ground, and his head rolled until it hit Falcon's feet. Meryl saw what the object was. A metal circular saw blade.
"GAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" She screamed in fright and disgust.
"Did I scare your girl, guys?"
They aimed their guns at him. Then they saw a flash of light in front of them. Then the guns shattered.
"WHAT THE HELL??????"
They noticed the icy aura around Falcon's hands. Then they realized he froze the guns.
"I don't want to fight you."
Then Falcon walked past them, straight into the still blazing forest. They were confused. Then Rose called.
Jack, I found the information about Falcon. He can mimic the abilities of video game villains, but he rarely fights. He's more like a killing machine. He will avoid combat if possible, and he also has a strange attraction to specific video games according to this.
This is Snake. What are those games? Maybe your boyfriend can help us out.
Very funny Snake, but there's a difference between VR and video games.
I've played a lot of video games. Meryl said.
In the base, Snake and Raiden stared at her.
What?
Okay. He seems attracted to Mega Man games. It doesn't make sense, but.
Then Meryl interrupted.
I KNEW I saw that metal blade attack before! He was mimicking Metal Man!
They stared at her again.
Meryl, why the interest in games? Snake asked.
Well, it's something to help me forget about. you know.
Oh.
Well, who else did you notice? Otacon asked.
The speed and boomerangs were Quick Man, and I think the ice attack was either Ice Man, Frost Man, Freeze Man, or Blizzard Man.
. How many villains are there in that series?
. I didn't bother to count. there were too many.
Snake and Raiden sighed. This could be trouble.

Well, Meryl IS playful.. Forte, can I borrow your anti-flame shield?
Forte: No, but you can borrow my Anti fire battle chip.
