A/N: Ummmm sorry guys but it looks like I won't get Psycho Mantis in the
story....because with how's its turning out so far. However, if the
reviews are good enough I WILL make a sequal to this story and Mantis will
be in that one I promise! I like Mantis too...my favorite boss in MGS
actually. Again, sorry. Oh, and this chapter ONLY features the characters
who aren't currently in the VR (so no Snake or Raiden), but I felt that we
had to know what was going on. Oh, and this chapter doesn't really need to
be read to enjoy the rest of the story...I just wanted people to see what
the non-VR characters were doing (thats why 7+8 were posted at the same
time) so if you want to you can skip this chapter.
Disclaimer:......Ya know I'm gonna shut up with these starting now
CHAPTER 7-NEED SOME POPCORN....
Campbell, had been watching it all so far. It was brilliant...just brilliant! Though Raiden was down to his last ration it was amazing how it turned out! "You owe me fifty dollars now Mei Ling, its over now that its in the snowfield...its over come on pay up!" He said.
Mei Ling looked at him strangely. "I thought that was just a joke? You know like the little fight over the million dollars that one time."
Campbell had completely forgotten about that. A million-dollar bet was placed on a game of HORSE that Campbell had won. "Oh yeah you owe me that too." Wasn't good to remind him of that.
"Hey, Mei Ling could you make some more popcorn? I'm running out and I don't wanna miss this!" Otacon said as he continued to drink his soda.
"Make your own popcorn...-"
"Mei Ling make some popcorn! Thats an order!" said Campbell.
"Make him do it!" She said pointing at Otacon.
"Make some popcorn or your fired!" Campbell said. They did this all in joking voices of course.
Otacon then threw the bowl at Campbell, "I think its your turn actually."
Campbell took the bowl and looked inside. A few seeds were left. "Thats it Hal your fired!"
"Ummm....I don't even work for you!" Otacon said. Well, it wasn't true but waiting for Raiden to die suddenly got boring.
"Okay, Hal your hired....." he waited about ten seconds, "your fired! Now make the popcorn!"
They all started to argue about who would make the popcorn now. They'd almost forgotten about Raiden and Snake. Finally, Mei Ling came up with an idea. "Why don't we all three go make the damn popcorn?"
Campbell, who now had his hand in a fist and was reared back ready to smack the shit out of Otacon suddenly replied, "Hey thats the best damn thing I've heard all day!" Of course Campbell stayed a bit before Mei Ling had to pull him along.
After they made popcorn, Otacon started to run low on sodas. "Hey Mei Ling, go get us some more sodas!"
"NO! Do it yourself!"
Campbell stood up, "I'll do it! Raiden is being a stupid little bitch again." As they all looked at the monitor Raiden was being taken back to the Heliport in a cardboard box. "Besides, I've been holding it long enough."
"Oh you have to evacuate again?" Mei Ling asked.
"I prefer to call it 'releasing my spiritual energy'." Campbell said.
"I call it a greeting." Otacon said, remembering the time he had first meant Snake, and then gave him that soaked in urine Level 4 Keycard. Precious memories.
Since it was clear that because of Raiden's stupidity they could all take a little break now. Otacon decided to make adjustments on the Tanker and Big Shell VR missions. If all went well, perhaps there could be another VR battle in one of the two missions.
After Campbell....umm..."relaesed his spiritual energy" he came back and saw that Otacon was making a few minor adjustments. "What are you doing?"
Otacon looked up for a moment. "Well, I was thinking. What would it have been like if the members of Fox-Hound were on the Tanker or the Big Shell. You ever wonder what that would be like?"
"I don't know what the hell you're talking about." Campbell had said. Otacon forgot that the Campbell that was there was nothing more than a mere AI.
"Raiden or Snake didn't tell you about the Big Shell?" Otacon asked. Campbell shook his head. Otacon found that amusing.
Mei Ling came back with the sodas, and had a file in her hand. "Colonel, I think you should look at this." He handed Campbell a manilla folder.
Campbell opened the folder. They were the results of Raiden's Shadow Moses VR training. Well, what he did anyway. "How do you get spotted 971 times and only make it to the Nuke Building!?" Campbell said, he was starting to laugh at this. "He's TERRIBLE.!"
"Its worse than that." Mei Ling said as he pointed to the numbre of kills. It said right there, zero. "Now if your spotted 971 times and you don't get a single kill...then I thats pathetic."
"I still feel sorry for Snake," Otacon said. He meant it too. "Raiden shouldn't talk so much shit if he can't live up to it." He was still making adjustments as Mei Ling handed him a soda.
"How about a tip for being your waitress?" Mei Ling asked jokingly.
"Here's a tip: stop bothering me while I make my adjustments." He replied. He was still thinking of whether he should put unit Fox-Hound on the Tanker or not. Damm! This was a hard decision. He then stopped. "I think Raiden may actually be close to getting back to the snowfield now."
They all three looked at the monitor. Snake smoked a cigerette for a while. In fact, he could probably go thorugh a whole pack before Raiden got back. They turned their attention to Raiden's monitor, he looked awful! "This is pathetic! Can we shock him to death? PLEASE!?" Otacon begged Campbell, but he declined.
"He's not gonna make it." Mei Ling said very seriously.
"No...probably not...well not at this rate. Snake is still in perfect health." Campbell commented. He was right. Raiden hadn't even TOUCHED Snake the entire time.
Campbell kept looking over Raiden's files. The kid wasn't made for stealth at all. Looking at the records, it was an amazement to believe that Raiden had even survived the Big Shell at all. He flipped the page to reveal his Tanker mission rankings. He didn't even bother with those. The fact that he couldn't even finish Shadow Moses disgusted him!
When they all looked up again, Raiden was actually back in Comm. Tower B. They all stopped what they were doing and gathered around. "Now its time for Snake to go for the kill." Campbell muttered under his breath.
TO BE CONTINUED...
A/N: No that chapter had no meaning WHATSOEVER, but I did need everyone to see what they were doing and how they watched them (but you could've guessed that) and I just felt that it would be better if I included more of these three than just on the codec. Anyways R+R cuz Chapter 8 is coming up real fast!
