A note from BDBlack:
It's getting to be that time of year, so in the spirit I wrote this piece. I hope you all like it because it's going to be full of action and surprises. Though, it might get a little goofy but I'll try not to go there. Also, I'm still a little unfamiliar with the whole Metal Gear saga, so please don't get mad if I make a few mistakes. Let's begin...

Snake:
I was the night before Christmas
And all through the mall
There were many bright lights
Posted all over the walls

But deep within this place of shop
Was something we all feared
The construction of a
Brand new Metal Gear

So I'm locked and loaded
And ready to go
With plenty of different
grenades to throw

So with nothing left to say
And this mission to take
I set of to work
Without a christmas break


December 24 - Christmas Eve
Mall of America

As it snowed in the vast parking lot, a man wearing a hooded coat walked towards the front door smoking a cigarette. As he walks in he walks flipping the cigarette into the air. He went into a couple of stores and purchases some items. After about a half hour he was holding many boxes but eyes the gift wrapping counter and it was currently empty. But not for long because several people were about about to get in front of him. Adrenaline surging, he ran straight ahead not stopping for anything. He was running so fast, electricity was surging under his feet and then stopped suddenly leaving skid marks. Everyone just stood there shocked.

"What..." He put his gifts down and the guys started wrapping them frantically still surprised at what his did.
"Which kind of wrapping paper do you want?"
"That kind..."
"We usually don't get a lot of people who like G.I.Joe wrapping paper."
"Just do it."
"Fine." The gift wrapper was obviously intimidated and just stuck to his job. After a few hours, "Here you go sir."
"Thanks." And walked off grinning.
"That's it, I'm done working in the mall," and the gift wrapper got up and walked off. The man in the coat continued to wall through the mall when suddenly something started to ring in his head.

SOLID SNAKE - (David Hayter)

He held his hand up to his neck...

CODEC - 141.25

Otacon: Snake. Are you in?
Snake: I'm here...
Otacon: What took so long, I was starting to worry.
Snake: Just getting my last minute shopping done.
Otacon: What did you get me?
Snake: I'm not telling, you'll have to wait till tomorrow.
Otacon: What about Meryl?
Snake: A necklace.
Otacon: Mai Ling?
Snake: Gift certificate.
Otacon: *groan* Snake...
Snake: Just kidding. I got her a gold watch...
Otacon: It's not gold plated, is it?
Snake: ...
Otacon: Snake.
Snake: Forget it. What's the mission? What the hell am I even here?
Otacon: I know this will sound weird, but there is a Metal Gear being stored somewhere below the structure.
Snake: I understand, but who put it there? I'm still trying to get over this mystery about the patriots.
Otacon: I wouldn't be surprised if they was behind this, but there's another thing.
Snake: What?
Otacon: The note also said this Metal Gear is built to destory Christmas.
Snake: You've got to be kidding me.
Otacon: I wish I was.
Snake: It wouldn't matter to me if the thing was out to destroy Christmas. It's not one of my favorite holidays. Ba humbug I say.
Otacon: Geeze, you're starting to sound like Scrooge. Then why did you get presents for everyone just now.
Snake: I just did that out of kindness, I'm not a monster.
Otacon: I guess, but why don't you like christmas?
Snake: I never got what I wanted as a kid. Besides, I'm starting to doubt any of this is true.
Otacon: I know it sounds farfetched, but I was just working on my computer when this note and a cookie just appeared next to me. I read it and found out about all this. I was a little sceptical at first, so I hacked into the mall security and found out that there was a Metal Gear in this facility.
Snake: Hmm... What kind of Metal Gear am I dealing with this time.
Otacon: Right now I've got nothing, so I'll try to dig up some info on it. Good luck Snake...

End transmission...

Snake started walking down mall until a small man caught his eye. At first, snake was about to ignore him until he noticed he was wearing a pointy green hat. And on closer inspection he was going into the restrictied areas so Snake quickly followed. First, he made sure there was no security watching. There was one reluctent guard, so carefully he pulled out his M9 and shot him in the leg.
"!" The guard looked around wondering where that poke came from. "?"
Just then, all guard could to was fall asleep where he stood. "ZZZ."
Snake smiles as he went through the door leaving his present in a safe spot, and noticed the midget was gone. "Where the hell did he go?"

Snake: Otacon.
Otacon: Yes Snake?
Snake: I need the schematics of this building. I noticed a suspicious character but he just disappeared.
Otacon: Just a sec...

End Transmission...

Snake continued down the hallway throwing off his coat and arming himself with his M9. Suddenly, a mall security officer was coming his way.
"Damn..." Snake said as he rolled to the side and out of the guards view. As he passed, Snake got back up and continued his search carefully holding his M9 ready.
"He, he, he..." a squeaky laugh came from behind.
"Who's there?" Small shadows started whizzing by. He following them, only to hear more laughing and seeing more shadows. "Damn it, who are you!"
"You can't find us..." said the squeaky voices.
"Wanna bet..."

Otacon: Snake, I have the plans!
Snake: Finally. This place is starting to scare me...
Otacon: That's a first.
Snake: What?
Otacon: I think that's the first time you've said you were scared of something.
Snake: Ha... Just tell me where I am.
Otacon: Right now you're in Service Hall A. Just go down the hallway, take a left at the last door, and go down the stairs. I'll download the rest to your radar.
Snake: All right...

End Transmission...

The last door to the left, the only thing between Snake and the Metal Gear. With his gun he shot of the handle and slowly open the door towards him. But after one step, Snake accidentally tripped on a thin wire making him fall over proceeding to fall down a long flight of stairs. Echoes of ours and ouches filled the corridor as he finally hit the bottom. His vision was slightly blurred because of all the head shots, but quickly got back when he herd the high pitched laughing. It came from down the hallway. "Stop it! I'm sick of your annoying laughing!"
Out of fury, Snake pulled out his USP and open fired. With each loud and bright blast he could see the shadows of several guys in hats, but none of them fell. "What the hell is going on? That was a direct kill shot."

CODEC - 141.25

Otacon: Snake! What the hell are you doing, you're suppose to keep yourself hidden!
Snake: No alarms went off, so I guess I'm safe. It's just that laugh. It bugs the hell out of me...
Otacon: Metal Gear should be up ahead.
Snake: Right...

End transmission...

As he dusted himself up, holding his USP in ready position and continued down the hallway. After a few minutes he reach the end and was shocked to see what was in front of him. "Metal Gear..."
The Metal Gear stood tall. It looked sort of like Metal Gear REX, but it had front legs too. And the head had a red nose and what appeared to be antlers. "What kind of sick freak came up with this?"
Next to it was a very large man in a long red coat. With the man he view, he carefully walked up being cautious about what was around him. Lucky there wasn't a single sentry around. Closer and closer until he came up behind the man and took aim.
"Freeze!" yelled Snake as he aimed his USP.
"Ah Snake. I was wondering when you would show up." Said the man a deep but cheerful voice.
"What? How do you know my name?" He gripped his gun tightly.
"Please Snake. I know everything. I know you have saved the world from Metal Gear from the world several times. I know your contact Otacon, aka Hal Emmerick. I know your the clone of Big Boss and that your brother is Liquid Snake."
"Who are you? Ocelot? Solidus? Another god damn, mind blowen terrorist?!" Snake was getting frustrated.
"You want to know?" The man turned around and Snake to a step back in total shock.
"What the hell?!" The man stood there with a long white beard, glasses, and a big nose.
"I'm Santa Clause..."
