A/N: OK Chapter 14 was kind of mixed and such. Listen people if you don't
like something then don't read it...of course if you've gotten this far
there has to be SOMETHING that you like about it! But let me remind you
that if there really is something you don't like...tough because its MY
story and I'M the one who's writing it.
Any problems with my fic are entirely yours. I will NEVER go back and
change something unless there's an error. With all that said, this chapter
keeps the competition in mind as Snake and Raiden face off on Metal Gear.
Chapter 15-BATTLE ON TOP OF REX
The countdown had now started. Thirty minutes to finish everything. This was it. What it had all come down to. Snake and Raiden stood on top of Metal Gear facing each other. The bomb was ticking. Already 28 minutes left. "Lets end this Snake!" Raiden said as he started with a bum-rush. Snake dodged and managed to kick Raiden in the back. Raiden didn't fall off or anything. It was almost as if he didn't feel it at all.
Raiden turned around and threw a punch at Snake. Snake caught his hand just as Raiden did Liquid before. But they both ended up kicking each other at the same time. They both fell back, but not over. Snake then followed up with a roundhouse kick that hit Raiden in the side of the face sending him twirling over the edge of REX.
Raiden managed to grab a hold of the edge. He held on and then Snake came up and stepped on his left hand. Raiden groaned in agony at first, but then used his right hand and pulled on Snake's leg. Snake fell flat on his back and that gave Raiden time to get back on REX.
Snake quickly got up and did a sweeper kick on Raiden, knocking HIM flat on his back. Raiden quickly sprung up and hit Snake on his way up. Snake once again went on his back. It didn't take too long for Snake to get up. When he did Raiden was already putting a punch in his face. Snake actually hadn't expected that.
Snake countered with his punch-punch-kick combo and then quickly ran to the opposite side of REX and kept in a fighting stance. Raiden was in a bit of pain but kept his ground. Snake quickly bum rushed at Raiden and hit him right in the gut. They both actually went down, Raiden on his back, and Snake on top of Raiden.
Raiden used his feet and kicked Snake off. "Goddamn! Your heavy!" He grunted as he scrawny little legs tossed Snake's muscular body off of him. He was actually panting from that. Not too bad though.
Snake was preparing another bum rush. When he actually did start to rush Raiden did a torso-axle right into Snake. It hit Snake and sent him flying over the edge. Snake had just barely caught on. Raiden went and stepped on BOTH of Snake's hands.
Though Snake wasn't quite that young he managed to flip back on, swinging his dangling feet upwards and he smacked Raiden! Raiden was shocked as he was knocked backwards. He never expected that either.

"What's happening?" Otacon asked as he got back with more popcorn watching on the monitors.
"Its pretty close." Campbell said. "Snake better win this....because I need those fifty dollars!"
Mei Ling turned her attention away from the monitors. "I thought yous said the bet was off?"
"That was BEFORE Raiden stopped sucking! The bet is on now missy!" Campbell said waving a finger in front of her. "I'm rooting for Snake all the way."
Mei Ling sighed. "OK fine. We'll make this an actual bet. But only because its so close. If Snake wins then I'll pay up. If Raiden wins then you gotta pay up."
"What if nobody wins though?' Otacon asked.
Campbell and Mei Ling looked at him for a moment. "What are you talking about? There has to be a winner."
"What if....nevermind." Otacon quickly cut himself off. He didn't want to think of it that way.
"What if what?" Campbell cut in.
"What if....neither of them win? What if....I don't know....what if Liquid won? Then what?" Otacon said.
"You wanna place a bet on Liquid?" Campbell said excitedly. "We can do that because you know I'm going to kick your damn ass!"
"Well, I'll tell you what. I bet that neither of them is going to win this match. I'm not placing my bet on Liquid, but I'm not placing my bet on either of the other two either. I'm just going to bet that neither will win."
Mei Ling looked a little surprised. She gave Otacon a strange look. "And YOU'RE supposed to be the genius!?"
Otacon smirked, "My bet still stands."

20 minutes left! Raiden was getting tired. Snake could certainly hit hard. He was back on his back now. He was breathing heavily, and so was Snake. They both put up a good fight with each other so far. Snake was certainly satisfied.
When Raiden got back up Snake was already in another rush for him. Raiden dived out of the way and managed to do a sweeper kick. It connected but it was clear now that Raiden was getting tired. Snake didn't even fall down from that. He grabbed Raiden by the foot and flailed him off REX.
"Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!" He shouted as he fell to what could've been his doom.
Snake ran over to Liquid. The bomb was still armed. 17 minutes left. There was no way to stop it. There was no way he was going to let Raiden win! Liquid slowly opened his eyes to see Snake actually untying him. "What the bloody hell are you dong?" He exclaimed.
"You were always the smart one! How the hell do we disarm this thing!" He said and showed Liquid the bomb. It turned out the bomb was a miniature Nuclear Warhead!
Snake untied his brother and then watched Liquid do some of his handy work. "There isn't anyway to stop it! I can extend the time, but there isn't anyway to disarm it. I'll give us ten more minutes. That should be enough time for us to get the hell out of here."
"What do you mean 'us'? I don't remember ever teaming up with you." Snake said. But they didn't have much of a choice. Liquid had now given them 25 minutes to escape.
"You're sneaking suit is right there on the ground next to the exit! All your weapons look to be there, so grab them and lets go!" Liquid demanded.
Snake went and grabbed his suit anyway. "Alright whatever. But after this we're enemies once again. You're going to help me escape, then I'm giving you give minutes to get as far away from me as you can!" Snake said. He had to make it sound like he meant it. Liquid didn't know that it was all a VR simulation.
"Fine with me! Now put that suit on and lets go!"
Snake put on his Sneaking suit. Then he equipped his Socom. Something was wrong though. He emptied the clip to find that there was no ammo! He did the same to his FAMAS. Nothing! All his grenades were gone! "Raiden! That bastard!" Snake knew that Raiden had survived the fall, but when did he empty his arsenal? When he was knocked out?
"There isn't any time to be crying over your broken toys we have to go!" Liquid panicked. He sounded scared. Scared? Liquid? He wasn't scared of anything!
"Alright then. Lets go!" Snake said and dropped his empty weapons to the ground. He still had one moment to take Raiden out. The problem was he didn't know what Raiden would come at him with.
***
"Raiden should be dead shouldn't he?" Campbell said biting his nails. "He should be dead! Come on! I need fifty dollars!"
Otacon observed. So far so good. "Raiden isn't dead. He's fine if you look on the monitor." Otacon smirked.
"What are you smiling about?" Mei Ling asked puzzled.
Otacon's smirk was so calm and relaxed. "My bet still stands."
TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: OK its coming close to an end now. Its actually turning out better than I thought it would. Anyways, the next chapter will come soon so please R+R.
