Chapter 4: Back to the States

We see Snake behind a building. He peeks around the corner and sees 3 soldiers sitting down talking. He then calls Otacon and Raiden.

Snake: Otacon, it seems the main building is about 100 feet down this road, I'll just have to get by a couple of guards. It'll take me at least 5 minutes to get the blueprint.

Otacon: Alright, Raiden, where's your position?

Raiden: I'm about 3 blocks away from the lieutenant's office. There are many soldiers I have to get by though. It'll probably take me 15 minutes to get those papers.

Otacon: OK, you guys can find the heliport using your radar, can you?

Snake: Yeah, I'll locate it and tell Raiden where it is.

Otacon: OK, good luck, I'll see you back in the States.

All end transmission. Snake peeks over the corner again and sees the same thing. He figures he can distract them again. He looks through his supplies and doesn't find something useful. He looks on the ground but there isn't anything he can use, He has to find another way to get by. He thinks about using his box but doesn't take the risk. He knows he has to shoot them. He takes out his SOCOM and aims carefully. He hits the first soldier in the head. While the other two soldiers are looking at their dead comrade in shock, they also get shot in the head. Snake then runs down the road. He remembers that the main building is empty and he runs into it. As he walks in he sees a room that has a lot of radars and computers. He looks inside a desk and finds the blueprint. As he looks at the blueprint, he is confused. He notices something on the blueprint.

Snake: Huh? This isn't the new Metal Gear, this is RAY!?

Meanwhile, we focus on Raiden. He is now on an empty road, but when we look behind him, we see about 10 soldiers sleeping with darts in their necks. He runs over and looks around a corner, nothing. He runs down the deserted road and without looking, turns another corner, running into a familiar face. He quickly takes out his M9 and points it at the man. He notices that he ran into Ocelot.

Ocelot: Why are you here!?

Raiden: What the hell are you doing here!? You're supposed to be in jail in the U.S.

Ocelot: What!? Where did you here that?

Raiden: It was on this base's computer files. It said you were ambushed by the Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard after you stole Arsenal. It also said after you stole Arsenal, it was completely destroyed.

Ocelot: I don't know what you are talking about. I was never caught in Arsenal. In fact, it was never destroyed.

Raiden: Then where is it then!?

Ocelot: (laughing menacingly) Why, it's right here.

He holds up a pad that has two small joysticks, an antenna, and a lot of buttons.

Ocelot: Using remote control technology, I can now control Aresnal using this. Watch this

He presses and red button on the control. He points to the left over the wall of the base. Raiden sees a missile flying high in the air and crashes into a building about 500 feet away from Raiden and Ocelot. Raiden then says something without thinking.

Raiden: I hope that isn't the main building. Snake better not die during this mission.

Ocelot: What!? Snake is here, too. Oh, this should be more fun than I thought it would.

Raiden: Damn!

Ocelot: I have no time to deal with a rat like you. I'm off to kill Snake once and for all.

Ocelot throws his cape in front of Raiden. Raiden fires his M9 crazily, but when the cape falls on the ground, Ocelot is gone. Raiden calls Snake by Codec.

Raiden: Snake, Ocelot is here, he isn't in jail!

Snake: How is that possible? It said he was imprisoned on the base's files.

Raiden: I don't know. Did you find those blueprints?

Snake: Well, yes and no. I found the blueprints of Metal Gear, but it isn't MAX, it's RAY.

Raiden: Things just get weirder as time moves along.

Snake: Screw those papers, Raiden, meet at the heliport.

Raiden: OK, but where is it?

Snake: It's only down the road and to the left from where you are, I'm already there. I took care of everyone at the heliport so you should be fine when coming.

Raiden: Alright, Raiden out.

End transmission. Raiden runs down the street and turns left at the end to see the heliport on top of a building. He goes in the building and climbs up the stairs. As he enters the heliport, he sees Snake in a chopper signaling for him to enter. Raiden enters and sits down in the seat next to him. They begin to talk.

Raiden: Where we headed to?

Snake: This thing doesn't carry much gas. We'll meet up with Otacon, Mei Ling, and Ivan in Alaska where we will refuel. From there we'll head to the place where their housing Metal Gear.

Raiden: Where is that?

Snake: Well, after I found the blueprint of RAY, I found a document that told the place in the U.S. that said that this is where they were building the new Metal Gear. It was one of the shelters for housing classified UFO evidence in Roswell, New Mexico.

Raiden: How would they be able to build a new Metal Gear in a place like that, isn't it heavily guarded? By the way, do you know who built MAX?

Snake: We haven't found that out yet, I believe that this has to be Ocelot's work now, knowing that he isn't in jail. Enough small talk, let's get a move on.

The chopper begins to elevate above the roof and then it accelerates and flies off over the base. Ocelot looks up and sees the chopper fly over him. He laughs menacingly again.

Ocelot: Everything is going according to plan.

He is on top of Arsenal, which is in the ocean. He then goes inside. He yells out to the front of the ship.

Ocelot: Navigate Arsenal to the U.S.

Man: Yes sir, now that the Patriots are gone, Snake is next.

The man talking has a British accent. Ocelot walks toward the rear of the ship, passing Metal Gear MAX.
