Chapter 14: The Patriots' Dream Come True
Snake is still on the ground next to where once Metal Gear MAX once stood. He got up slowly and headed over to Raiden, Campbell, and Meryl. His eyes were glued to Meryl, he hadn't seen her ever since after Shadow Moses. Even though he wasn't attracted to tomboys anymore, the thought of Meryl made him happy. He then notices a rolled gauze on Raiden's arm.
Snake: Where'd ya get that?
Raiden: Oh, Vamp. He threw a knife and it went through my arm.
Snake: What about the M4?
Raiden: Meryl knew about it. After I busted her out, she brought me to the place where they kept her stuff. We found an M4 in that place and took it. I've loaded up on ammo too.
Snake: Alright, Campbell, how you pulling out.
Colonel: Don't worry about me, age is just catching up with me.
Meryl: We can handle this, uncle.
Snake: Yeah, I'll call up Otacon and we'll have you brought to him for safekeeping.
Colonel: That isn't needed. The fight must go on. In my years as colonel of FOX-HOUND, I've never given up on a mission, I've never told any of my comrades to give up the fight, especially you Snake. Even though my days as colonel are over, I still hang on to that belief.
Snake: Well . . . alright, but you have to watch out for yourself. We can't watch you for the remainder of this conflict.
Meryl: How many enemies are we faced against?
Raiden: Well, there's a lot of guards.
Snake: There's Ocelot, Liquid, I don't know about if Solidus is an enemy now, but we can't let our guard down.
Campbell: Those two spies from the Patriots are still here, and Vamp's dead.
Meryl: Vamp? Is he that odd vampire like guy?
Raiden: Yeah, why? Meryl: Before I was captured, I met this weird man who looked like he had been through a shredder. He was cutting up a guard with a knife. He must've smelled me or something like that after cuz he started chasing me. He caught me and was about to stab me until he started t like, freak out. He fell to the floor covering his head and began to scream, then he ran away. I was caught after that happened.
Snake: Well, he's dead now, but he wanted us to kill the Patriots. What's the thing between you and Solidus? I thought he hated you.
Raiden: I thought he did too. But when I was going to rescue Meryl, I came to the same torture room that he choked me in seven months ago. He appeared there, and told me he wasn't going to kill me. He said after I defeated him at Federal Hall, he's learned an important lesson. He told me that from now on, he wouldn't kill any of us and that he believed in me now, but I still don't get it.
Snake: I'm sure none of us do either. But Liquid id still a threat.
Raiden: I don't know about that. He was abducted by that same ninja before I came to the cell.
Meryl: That seems kinda odd.
Snake: Right now, we have to concentrate on finding Metal Gear. If we don't find it, we don't know what Ocelot will do with it.
Colonel: There's four of us now, if we all split up, it'll be easier.
Meryl: No way, uncle. I'm not letting you go alone in this.
Colonel: No Meryl, I can handle this. Even though I may be old and fragile, the S3 training by the Patriots should be handy here.
Raiden: I think it would be best if we split up, that way it'll be quicker to-
Everyone turns to see Poison coming out of the drainage ditch. He is covered in nuclear waste, but he seems to be getting stronger from it than injured. He is now twice the size as he was before, with many muscles bulging out. He takes out a large RPG gun and aims it at them, they all dodge it. Poison's trench coat and pants are ripped and his body looks like it has more muscles.
Snake: You guys go, I can handle this.
Meryl: Snake, no! He'll murder you. Just look at him. I van't let you do this.
Snake: Well I'm not letting another of my brothers get the best of me.
Meryl: Snake, I won't let you go through with this, you're older and less agile than you were before. I don't want this to be the last time I see you.
Snake: Meryl, I may die, but I will kill him, and if I die, I know I have comrades who will end this nightmare. Now go, NOW!!!
Raiden and Campbell run as Meryl stands there staring at Snake. It was 4 years since they had met each other, and when she sees him again, he fights against an enemy. A tear goes down her eye as she sees Snake about to battle, maybe for the last time. Raiden tugs at her to get her to follow.
Raiden: Come on Meryl, We have a Metal Gear to destroy.
They exit the room as Snake is staring at the overly large Poison. Seeing Poison this big reminded him of Raven, but more fierce.
Poison: You can't defeat me now, Snake. The nuclear material has transformed my body into an ultimate fighting machine. Thanks to the technology only capable to be achieved by the Patriots, I am invincible.
Snake: There is no invincible person, either genetically created or naturally born. Everyone has an Achilles' Heel.
Poison: That is not the case here. You can fight all you want, but you're never going to defeat me. This is what the Patriots dreamt about, and now I will put that dream into reality.
Snake: Well then, show me what my adopted brother can achieve.
Poison: Let's get it on now!
Poison lunges toward Snake, who jumps out of the way. He gets up and fires off a round of his AK at Poison. All the bullets hit him, but they act like pieces of paper bouncing off his body. Snake loads another clip into his AK and fires off a round in Poison's face, but the same consequence occurred. Poison loads in another RPG and fires it at Snake, Snake jumps away, but a little too late. He falls on his back causing his back to hurt. He got up with all his might and took a grenade from his suit and throws it at Poison. It hits him and blows up on contact, after the smoke clears, Poison, still stands, without any damage. Poison takes out his Desert Eagle and shoots 5 bullets at Snake, one nicks him in the temple, causing blood to spill over his face. He is losing a lot of blood. Poison then takes his last RPG and fires it at Snake, it hits the ground right in front of him and knocks Snake over to the wall. Snake is leaning against the wall half- dead and sees Poison approach him.
Poison: Face it Snake, you're getting too old. Your fighter genes have basically worn off and are nothing but useless ordinary genes. You don't have any fight left in you, do you?
Snake: Uhh . . . who . . . who are you . . . really?
Poison: I'm afraid I can't tell you that info, for it is only information only reachable by the Patriots.
Snake: Just . . .hurry up and kill me . . . you bastard!
Poison: Don't mind if I do.
Poison aims his takes out his Desert Eagle. He loads one bullet into the gun. He slowly aims it at Snake's head.
Poison: Ohhh, the Patriots will savor this moment forever. Looks like Olga's child will be living with us for a long time. Hahahaha . . .
Snake thinks his last thoughts, and breathes his last breath, his last vision, was that of Poison putting his finger on the trigger. End of chapter.
