Chapter 5: Reunion

Date: December, 6, 2009

Snake and Raiden are still in the chopper, they fly near a desert-like area with a couple of buildings. Knowing that there is have security there. Snake decides to land in the about a half a mile from the buildings. He signals for Raiden to get out, then he calls Otacon.

Snake: Otacon, where are you, we're already in Roswell.

Otacon: We're almost there, all I gotta do is land the plane somewhere.

Snake: Well this is nothing but desert so you may just wanna take it easy a.

Otacon: Uh oh.there's something wrong with the plane.

Snake: What happened?

Otacon: It seems the engine died, we have to bail out

Mei Ling and Ivan: WHAT!!!!

Snake: Try bringing the plane real low, then jump out.

Raiden: Snake! The plane's heading for us!

Raiden points to the plane, Snake, hearing this, forces Raiden down, the plane glides at a rapid speed right over Snake and Raiden, they see Otacon, Mei Ling, and ivan jump out and land in the sand. Snake and Raiden run over to them, seein if they're all right. Then they hear an explosion and look at where the buildings were, seeing a huge inferno.

Raiden: Are you guys all right?

Mei Ling: Yeah I guess, we're fine, what just happened though.

Snake: This doesn't look good. Let's get over there. Hurry.

Snake, Raiden, Otacon and Mei Ling run to the buildings. Ivan however stays where he is and reaches for his pocket. We get a glimpse of what looks to be a tape recorder, until Otacon calls him, then he puts it back.

Otacon: Ivan! Come on!

Ivan: Sorry, I thought I lost something.

He then runs over with them. When they get to the buildings, everything is aflame. Everything is destroyed. Snake then says something to try and bring light upon everyone.

Snake: Well, at least Metal Gear is destroyed.

Out of the flame comes a man, he looks familiar, he has long black hair and brown trench coat. He then disappears.

Mei Ling: What the hell was that!

Man: Looking for someone.

Everyone turns around behind them to see a familiar face. He has bullet holes in his head and chest and has five knife marks on his chest.

Mei Ling: Who the hell are you!

Raiden: That's Vamp. He was involved in the Big Shell incident.

Snake: Why are you here?

As Snake says this he pulls out his SOCOM and points it at Vamp.

Vamp: Meeting an old friend, or should I say, reviving and old friend.

Suddenly a man speeds out of the flame, he stops in front of everyone and pulls out his big gun. He has an eyepatch over his left eye and two blades behind his back. Snake and Raiden instantly know who this is.

Snake and Raiden: SOLIDUS!

Solidus: Snake, Jack, it's a pleasure to meet you again. I have some unfinished business to deal with you.

Solidus points his gun at Raiden.

Raiden: But.I killed you. at Federal Hall. how did you.

Solidus: You seemed shocked. You should know you can't kill me that easily. Vamp here brought me back.

Snake: Why did you do it here then.

Vamp: I decided to bring him back from hell here, I heard the message, Metal Gear is being held here. If I revived Boss here, I know he'd be delighted.

Solidus: And delighted I am. What could make me happier? Oh, I remember, To kill you Jackie.

Solidus points his gun at Raiden. Snake then punches Solidus in the face and fires his SOCOM at him. Solidus uses his metal suit to have the bullets ricochet off him. Vamp grabs Snake with his hand and holds him up. Solidus points his gun at Raiden. Both are ready to kill.

Solidus: What a great day this is, one of my brothers is going to die. Metal Gear is mine, and I'll get info on the Patriots,

Ocelot: That's what you think.

Ocelot walks up to everyone. They all have an angry eye as they see him.

Ocelot: The patriots are gone, eliminated. It turns out they died, 100 years ago.

Otacon: How'd you find that out also?

Ocelot: Oh, I knew, all that mumbo-jumbo I said on Arsenal was a lie. I staged the Arsenal incident myself. I knew the Patriots never existed. It was just him who thought wrong.

Out of the sky falls a man. He has long blonde hair and no shirt. It is Liquid.

Liquid: A family reunion, how come I was never told about this. Hahahaha.

Raiden: I thought you were inside him.

Liquid: I was, until I was excavated and put back on my own body.

Ocelot: I simply cut off my right arm, then replaced it with a robotic arm that acts as an actual arm, not a prosthetic.

Liquid: We have no time for this, Ocelot. MAX needs tending to.

Mei Ling: I thought it was housed and destroyed in one of those buildings.

Ocelot: Oh no it isn't. I gave you all this location, so I can kill you once and for all.

A cage suddenly emerges from the ground and locks everyone in. Ocelot holds up his remote control to Arsenal.

Ocelot: I'll see you all in hell.

As he about to press a button, a bow hits the remote control out of Ocelot's hand. It falls to the ground and blows up.

Ocelot: Dammit! Who was that!

A man walks up with a bow. He has a long black hood jacket. He has long brown hair and a lot of facial hair.

Man: Ocelot, you fool. The Patriots are alive.

Ocelot: I don't know who you are, but you'll die!

He shoots his revolver at him, but he pulls out a shield and blocks it. He takes a bow and aims at Ocelot, but he misses and knocks out the lock to the cage.

Liquid: Hurry let's get out of here.

Liquid throws a stun grenade and knocks out everyone. As they all wake they find Ocelot, Liquid, the man with the bow, Vamp and Solidus gone. Snake then says something.

Snake: Ocelot has the new Metal Gear. We have to find Arsenal.

Raiden: Snake! Let's take the chopper and find Arsenal.

Ivan: What's this?

Ivan finds blueprints on the ground. Snake takes them and looks at them. He sees that they are of MAX.

Snake: Now we definitely know he has MAX. He replaced these blueprints with those of RAY.

Otacon: Snake, Raiden, get aboard Arsenal. We'll hijack that chopper over there and help you from there.

Otacon points to a chopper far from the wreckage.

Mei Ling: There's no time to waste, GO!

Snake and Raiden run to their chopper while Otacon and Mei Ling run to theirs. Ivan then takes out his tape recorder and whispers into it.

Ivan: (whisper) MAX is aboard Arsenal Gear. We'll proceed into a chopper, then we'll land aboard and we'll continue from there.

Ivan then runs into the chopper with the other two.
