Note: I still don't own MGS, MGS2. Yadda yadda blah Dee blah
Well here's number 3! Sorry if it seems a little short.
----
*Ding* The elevator reached floor 5. Snake leaned up against the wall and peered into the room to look for guards. Nothing. The three slowly exited the elevator and the doors closed behind them.
"You know, this place sure isn't guarded considering the newest Metal Gear is supposed to be here," observed Raiden.
"It's quiet. Too quiet if you ask me," Meryl stated.
"Watch your backs," Snake told them. "There's something not right, I can feel it."
They continued through the room. It was large and white. It has no doors, except for the two elevators. Raiden and then Meryl followed snake. They heard a swooshing sound, and Snake and Raiden turned around. Meryl was frozen still.
"Meryl? What's wrong?" Snake asked her.
"You know this stealth camouflage comes in handy," a voice told them. He sounded Romanian
Meryl suddenly fell and gasped for air. The three looked around.
"Show yourself you coward!" Snake told him, looking around the room for him.
The strange man's laughing echoed throughout the room. "You know, I think I will."
They heard footsteps coming from the back. Then, a man appeared. He had wavy black hair, and intense, deep brown eyes. He was around 6'5 and on the slim side, but with some muscle. He wore a skintight exoskeleton. It was much like Grey Fox and Olga's suits, but solid black. His face could be seen, too. Meryl's eyes seemed to light up when she saw him, but she didn't say anything.
"I am Dark Scorpion. As dark as the night, and as deadly as a scorpion. I already know who you three are. Raiden, or Jack the Ripper?" He laughed as his eye's moved from Raiden to Meryl. "And of course, Meryl Silverborough," he kissed her hand. Meryl slowly pulled away, but her eyes looked like she didn't want to.
"Get your hands off her!" Snake pushed Dark Scorpion away from her.
Dark Scorpion caught his breath. Then turned to Snake. "Oh, and we mustn't forget the legendary Solid Snake. Well sorry Snake, but your legend will end soon. I'd love to stay and chat, but I've got a meeting with the boss." He disappeared. "Au revoir!"
The elevator doors from where they came had opened and closed.
"Meryl, are you alright?" Snake walked over to her.
"Y-yeah. I-I'm fine."
Her stuttering upset Snake for a moment, but he figured she was just shone up.
"That was a little...weird." Raiden said. "What's his game?"
"I dunno," Snake replied. "We better keep going though."
They crossed the room and got into the elevator. It went up to floor 10 and basement 3.
"Which one?" Raiden asked.
"I'm not sure, let me call Otacon."
He did so, and Otacon told him to check all of them. He also told Snake that Rose was there with him and she would be helping out in a while. He turned off his codec. He told the others about what Otacon said.
"Ok, we'll all take different floors. I'll take B1. Raiden, B2, and Snake B3," Meryl suggested. "Just look for the Metal Gear, Solidus, Vamp, you know, any of the things that are important.
"Good plan," Raiden commented. "We'll be in touch by codec."
Meryl got off at B1. "See yak." she told them.
Raiden got off at B2, and left Snake alone after saying "Good luck"
Snake exited the elevator at B3. There was a large room. It had three floors. He saw Raiden and Meryl above him. At least I can keep an eye on everyone, he thought. He saw three guards. He took them out with his Desert Eagle easily. He continued through the room. There were three doors, and one was broken. Electricity shot out from it. He passed that one. The next one was locked. He needed a key card. He went for the last door. It opened, and inside he found a woman. Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Her face was facing the table. He cautiously went over to her. He tapped her, and she awoke. He held his gun out. "Freeze," he told her. Then he stopped.
"Snake?"
"Mei Ling!? What are you doing here?"
"That's what I'd like to know, one minute I'm reading a philosophy book, then next, you wake me up in...Where are we?"
Snake was confused. "The Santro building. On B3. Meryl's here, so is Raiden."
"Raiden? The guy from the Big Shell?"
"That's him. His fiancée is over with Otacon at the Philanthropy building. We need to get you there."
"Well I certainly don't want to be here! But how do I get all the way to Philanthropy?"
"I'll know in just a second." Snake called Otacon and told him about Mei Ling.
"So that's where she was!" was his response. "Tell her to get to the roof, same as Rose. The helicopter will be there."
"Gotcha." Snake turned off his codec. He turned to Mei Ling. "Go to the roof. By the time you get there, a helicopter will be waiting to take you to Otacon and Rose, Raiden's fiancée."
"Ok. But what if I get caught?"
He didn't have an M9 to give her; it was still with Rose. "Run like hell."
"Well that's helpful!"
Snake laughed. "Don't worry, just take the elevator as high as it goes, floor 10. That should be the roof. If you're lucky, you won't see any guards there."
"If I die, I'll kill you," she threatened.
They both laughed. "I'm sure you'll be fine."
Mei Ling said goodbye and then headed for the elevator. Snake went in the opposite direction. There was a large black door. He cautiously entered it.
