Chapter three: Natural Warriors ---
Every square centimeter of Nathan Harker's body was tensed as he looked into the eyes of his attacker.
"Identify yourself" The young man ordered, raising his pistol at the altitude of Nathan's eyes.
"Harker. Nathan Harker." He said, barely opening his moth.
"Oh. You are the CIA agent..." The man said, without lowering his Beretta and or changing the tone of his voice. "You are coming with us, Agent Harker."
Harker kept looking at his attacker. He was at least 28 years old, his eyes were deep into his skull, and he had a calm look in his face, even though his voice tone was aggressive.
"Where's Snake? Solid Snake?" He asked that with a strange sense of hate towards Snake.
"I don't know" Harker retorted calmly.
"Is that right? Well, I'm sure Cougar will find him"
Nathan again looked at his attacker's eyes, and slightly moved. His opponent moves his weapon towards him, and Harker jumped towards the other side. His confused opponent turned, extending his armed arm towards Nathan. He crouched, at the same time HE moved his weapon lower, Nathan made a kick.
The weapon flew up from the wounded hand; the Beretta started spinning in the air, and spectacularly falls on Nathan Harker's hand, who points it at his attacker's chest.
"Not so fast, huh?" Nathan taunted, pressing the weapon against his heart. "What's your name, kid?"
"Special Operations Eclipse Team" He said, surprisingly without losing his calm. "Silent Shadow"
"Eclipse team, huh? And here I thought they recruited the best of the best. My bad." Nathan taunted again, yet Shadow didn't seem to show any emotion. Only a strange sort of anger as he said "Solid Snake" showed up. "So, what's the deal with Snake? Old rivals?"
"It's none of your business" Shadow retorted, and for Nathan's surprise, his voice was rather shaky. It was like having a painful memory.
"Oh, I see. You don't have to be so shy." Nathan said back. Good, he thought. Shadow has a weakness.
"I wouldn't play bully if you were you." Shadow regained his peaceful look.
"What the." Harker asked, but felt a hit in his back. And started falling unconscious. He had being hit with the butt of a weapon.
"One down, three to go" An eerie, French-accented female voice sounded on Harker's ear, being his only sense active. He couldn't see.
"What's going on, Skully?" Shadow asked.
"Razor is already in disguise, Spear has being captured, and we lost contact with Cougar" "Skully" explained.
"So, except for Cougar, everything is going as planned." Shadow thought.
"Did you find out where's Snake?"
"No. "
"As soon as our first objective is accomplished, I want everyone regrouped."
"Yes, ma'am" He said, and Nathan heard the sound of military boots walking away...
-----
Snake stared at the unconscious body of the Eclipse Team member Cougar. He was tall, bald, muscular. Pretty scary looking. Then, he felt a beep in his ear.
"Snake" Otacon called, he had a very worried look on his face. "I found out who this Eclipse Team is"
"Great! Spit it out!" Snake said.
"Hey! Guys!" Nathan called by codec. "Sorry for eavesdropping, but. I run across an Eclipse Team member."
"Me too." Snake clarified. "He looked just like Vulcan Raven! A Sniper shot him down. I didn't see the shooter but."
"That's a funny coincidence. The guy I met was like a male version of Sniper Wolf."
"Strange." Snake said.
"Guys, that's exactly what I found out." Otacon said.
"OK, who are these guys?" Raiden appeared and asked. Otacon took a long breath, and started explaining.
"Right after Shadow Moses, the NATO military was in need of a special commando force that could carry out missions just like FOX-HOUND did. I heard they even tried to clone them, but Sears stopped the project, due to his "Vocal opposition to eugenics projects". Then they tried to implant their genes into soldiers, but Johnson's government didn't support this maneuver. Just two weeks before the Big Shell, the government thought, if genes make better soldiers, and we pass our genes through our family, what we got?"
"Ur." Snake didn't know, just tried to make Otacon say it.
"Like. Family. Through a long CIA investigation, they caught familiars of all 6 FOX-HOUND members. They kidnapped them, tortured them, gave them Hypnotherapy, and basically forcing them to join FOX-HOUND'S genetic mirror, the Eclipse Team." He explained, watching at Snake's and Nathan's horrified faces.
"Oh damn" Snake said lowly.
"Otacon, if I gave you a codename, could you give me info about an Eclipse Team member?" Nathan asked.
"Sure." Otacon answered.
"His name is Silent Shadow." Nathan said.
"Err. Let me see. Silent Shadow. Got it! Let me see. Ok, I found it, place of birth. here! Place of Birth, Semi-Autonomous Region of Kurdistan, Northern Iraq. He got his codename because he is a master at sneaking and hiding from his enemies."
"Oh damn" Snake repeated. "Another Kurd psychopath"
"Then it's true." Harker's voice started to show low morale. "But what are they doing here?"
"The same thing that us. Trying to catch that Metal Gear." Otacon explained slowly.
"Excuse me, but we can deal with the Eclipse later, we have a Metal Gear to find" Snake didn't like this unit at all. It was like a Nightmare he had ignored for four years.
"Right. I'm going down. Raiden, look for Ocelot, Snake, try to find Metal Gear's blue prints, and Harker, you go with Raiden"
"Here we go again" Raiden barked, as he cocked his M9.
--------
Otacon turned with his stolen Kasatka and started flying downwards, always trying to remain unseen. The Eclipse Team remained in his memory. Were they enemies? No, but they aren't friends either.
"They were the familiars of the Shadow Moses Terrorists. How can they fight for the same Institution who killed their own family? But do they know this? Not likely. Dissertation is only fought with misinformation, right? What if they are so crazy they don't care? Maybe they are out for Snake. Do they want him dead? Do they know what he did? Maybe they are out for me, too. Will they kill me? Or will they torture me?" Otacon's mind was flooded with thoughts about this unit.
Only one member was known to them.
Silent Shadow. Age, 27. Iraqi, but of Kurdish origins. FOX-HOUND member. Training in: Basic Combat, Sniping, Infiltration, SWAT Tactics, Espionage, The list went on. He was sure all Eclipse Team members had threatening curriculums as well.
"A brother, maybe? But I thought all HER family was killed when SHE was young. Well, you never know." His job was affecting him.
-------
Raiden was again infiltrated. Did he enjoy it? Not at all, but he had to do it. Right in front of him, Nathan Harker was scouting the area.
The former CIA raised his hand, and Raiden understood it meant "Stop there". He stopped right in front of a window, which meant he saw something interesting right behind it. Both special agents ducked and started spying what was going on inside.
Three people were in that room. One of them, sitting on a desk, was rather obese, and in an expensive suit. The desk was full of papers but something caught Raiden's eye. There was a sign at the front of the desk. His owner was John Harrels. The owner of Wellar Inc.
The other two people were standing. One of them was the Former FOX-HOUND agent Revolver Ocelot. The second person was young woman, very thin, with a long black hair. She had handcuffs. It looked like she was a prisoner.
Harker kept watching as he pulled out something from his back-Pack.
"Raiden, take this." He handed Raiden with something that looked like an old Walther pistol. But it was a directional microphone. He putted it right against the glass.
"So, young lady" ocelot asked in his typical interrogation tone. "Where are your friends?"
"I'll never tell you." She said. She had sort of Russian accent.
"Listen." Ocelot's voice suddenly gained power. "You will tell us where they are or else."
"You don't scare me" She answered back watching Ocelot with pitiful eyes. It was a spy tactic Nathan had learnt in the CIA. You must make sure your enemy thinks you have the advantage.
"Miss," Harrels called, he sounded like a typical business man. "Listen to my partner, please." He was obviously trying to play nice.
"Both you and I want the same thing: The rebirth of Mother Russia-" Ocelot was playing friendly too.
"You are lying! I know everything about you!"
"Witch!" He called her when he pulled her to a chair. "Ok, mister Harrels, our deal ends here."
"What the-"
Just then, with the speed of a lightning, he pulled his .45 Single Action Army and pointed it towards the Director's heart. The milliseconds looked like minutes as the FOX-HOUND sharpshooter pressed his trigger.
The twelve millimeter bullet flew across the space of the room, breaking the air and leaving a smoke trail. Harrels eyes went wide open and he froze. It might have been the surprise, or maybe the heavy impact of the bullet in his heart. He fell silently.
Ocelot, he holstered his weapon like nothing had happened. He took out he took out a radio.
"Ok, men, proceed as accorded."
----------
Otacon's eyes detected something going on. In the street, a black as night truck stopped in the front door of the Wellar Building. Several people went outside of the truck and started entering the building.
An assault was going on.
Inside, the attackers were fighting a cruel war with the Security Guards. The attackers dressed in black BDU s and armed with Assault Rifles shot at the unsuspecting guards. Otacon had the feeling that these guys were mercenaries. Who hired them? Ocelot. Why? Only God knows.
They were taking over the building. ------
