A/N: Sorry for the long pause (I usually update quite frequently) but of
course Fanfiction had to do the split and I still had to decide how I
wanted it to end. OK its come down to this. The Shadow Moses Story is
coming closer and closer to its end. This is the last chapter for the
competition. There is ONE more chapter after this (The epilogue of
course), and believe me, it was really REALLY hard to choose a winner and
really hard to make an ending! Please if you didn't like the ending...don't
complain because you ain't the one who wrote it...you'll just have to
accept it..sorry, but if you don't like it tell me anyway ^_^
CHAPTER 16-THE SHADOW MOSES STORY
"Come on brother lets go!" Liquid said and then ran off ahead. Snake was in his sneaking suit now. He still couldn't believe that Raiden had emptied out his entire arsenal. That actually wasn't a bad idea. It was ironic actually. Now Snake was the one who had no weapons. He remembered the jeep though. That had a gun on it, Snake didn't know if he'd get shocked by using it or not, but he had to take his chances.
Snake ran out into the parking lot, the alarm sounded. Snake wasn't sure if he should worry or not. After all, Liquid was with him. A shot rang past him. Guess that answered his question. He looked over at Liquid. They were shooting at him too.
Liquid jumped in a jeep and tried to start it up. For level eight the guards sure did have bad aim. Snake grab one guard in a choke hold and used him to shield himself and Liquid.
Liquid jumped out of a jeep and went to the next. This one started up right away. Snake snapped the neck of the guard and jumped into the back of the jeep. He grabbed a hold of the machine gun and fired it. He didn't get shocked so it was alright. He shot the three guards in the room and then blew a hole in the gate. "Lets get out of here Liquid!" Snake shouted. Eventhough Liquid didn't like the sound of Snake giving orders, he drove off into the tunnel anyway.
They were speeding off in the jeep at top speed. They had 18 minutes left and counting. The route was about 5-10 minutes long....or at least it was when Meryl was driving. Liquid was much more of an aggresive driver. As they came up to the first check point, Liquid slamed the breaks. He didn't want to risk blowing the shit out of them.
Snake shot the barrels and the guards ignited in flames. Liquid then sped off. They were making good timing. Only been on the road for 1 minute. Liquid didn't take any prisoners. When the next checkpoint came he sped right through it, running over one of the guards and busting through.
As they drove off, Snake was beginning to think that Raiden wasn't coming. He thought too soon. Raiden had drove up behind them. In one hand Raiden had the steering wheel gripped. In the other was a FAMAS rifle. "We have to finish this NOW Snake!" Raiden said.
Liquid heard Raiden and then began to swerve around a bit. "Kill him Snake! We have to get rid of the bloddy bastard!"
Snake shot at Raiden, but Liquid was going too fast. But Liquid HAD to keep going fast. They were roughly down to 18 minutes now. When Liquid reset the time limit, it wasn't by that much.
Raiden aimed his FAMAS and shot. He hit Liquid in the shoulder. The jeep began to swerve a bit more as Liquid groaned in pain. He kept his hand on the wheel and continued to drive.
Snake continued to shoot at Raiden, who was also swerving around. It made it a little hard at first. Until Raiden had finally come up beside the two Snakes. He turned and shot Snake in his side. Snake groaned but didn't take his focus off Raiden as he shot back.
Liquid reached into the glove box and pulled out a SOCOM, and shot at Raiden. With both guns on him at a time Raiden took a few hits, more than Snake, but not so much that his life was threatened.
They had no rations now, and all Snake had to do was shoot at him until he died. It could be over in a matter of minutes. But they didn't know how much life they had left.
Raiden, still riding beside them turned his aim on Liquid and shot at him now. Snake continued to shoot at Raiden, but Raiden was constantly speeding up and slowing down beside them, making him harder to kill.
"Blast!" Liquid screamed as another shot hit him in his shoulder. He still drove with one hand, and he still used his other to shoot at Raiden. They were still running out of time.
'This isn't how its supposed to be!' Snake thought to himself. 'It isn't supposed to end like this.' There was a light at the end of the tunnel now, and Raiden quickly sped up to cut them off at the tunnel's exit.
"Brother!" Liquid screamed before they crashed. There was a bright flash of light, they'd gotten to the outside world, still alive...hopefully.
The dust, gas, smoke, and snow had finally cleared. Snake was trapped under the jeep with his brother. He turned to face Liquid. For once it actually felt as if they really were brothers. When he faced Liquid the blood smeared all over his face revealed that he was dead. Snake actually felt sad about it. They'd made a pretty good team actually.
Snake then looked at the other jeep. Raiden's jeep was on its side. It suddenly fell over onto its wheels, as Raiden rose from the blanket of snow. He was still a little beat up from the battle on top of REX, and his sneaking suit was ripped at the top that part and his chest was showing. "Snake!" He said breathing heavily. He was still standing strong!
Raiden walked up to Snake. Snake tried to get up from under the jeep but it was no use. Dammit! Was this the end? Had Raiden actually won? Had he actually beaten the legend? No! Snake refused to be beaten by a little punk like Raiden, but he couldn't get from under the jeep. He tried and tried, but eventually just gave in. He had to accept the fact that he lost.
Raiden stood over Snake and pointed his FAMAS at him. "I told you I could beat the leg-" he froze. He was about to pull the trigger and end the whole match but he froze, and began to shake violently he never got to pull the trigger. "What....the.....hell.....is happening to me?" He shrieked.
Snake was unsure himelf, but he watched as Raiden continued to shake violently. Raiden then collapsed to the ground. Before Raiden had died he said to Snake in a very labored voice "What did you do to me?' Then he collapsed once more and died in the snow.
Snake looked in astonishment. Was it some sort of heart attack? He looked as Raiden's skin turned blue. FOXDIE! Raiden had been killed by FOXDIE!
TO BE CONCLUDED....
A/N There you have it! Believe me this was actually REALLY hard to decide...and please...if you want a sequal then tell me (though I'm not sure if I should write one) because I need some inspiration for that too. Anyways, there is an alternate ending I wrote in which Snake lost but I don't plan on posting it in anyway whatsoever. Anyway, on to the epilogue!
