Chapter 5: A New Device

Snake walks inside and finds himself in the basement. He checks all around the basement looking for metal gear but finds nothing. He couldn't get threw most of the doors because they were locked He calls up Otacon.

Snake: "Otacon, all these doors are locked I need a key card to get inside."

Otacon: "Snake were are you?"

Snake: "The basement."

Otacon: "Ok you have to go up to the third floor to the same room where I sent that disk I'm going to send the key card using the same computer. Make sure no one gets the key card this time. Wait how did that guy you blew up know that I sent the disk to you and where to get it."

Snake: "Hmm, I don't know. Maybe everyone here has nanocommunications and he found out the frequency. Gotta get going."

This time the staircase is on the other side of where he entered. He gets to the staircase on the other side, having to shoot a couple of guards on the way. He is about too go to the first floor when he remembers that Solidus went into another room on that floor. He's about to go to that room but instead continues up to the third floor. He gets up to the third floor but now there are guards there. He uses some of his old tricks to get by the guards and into the room. He goes to the computer and presses the eject button and a key card comes out. He calls Otacon.

Snake: "I got the key card. What level is this?"

Otacon: "All levels. I've been working on that with the disk."

Snake: "It's weird, all of a sudden there's guards here and before the place was empty.

Otacon: "Yes, that is weird. But don't forget your job. Your have to find and destroy that metal gear."

Snake: "I doubt they'll have a metal gear on the third floor so I'll start from the basement."

He hangs up on the codec and goes to the staircase and heads downstairs. He's about to go to the basement but instead he goes to the room where Solidus went. There's a little staircase and he goes down it cautious. He sees Solidus, Sergio, and someone tied up in a chair. Snake notices it's the president. He also notices that Solidus and Sergio are not guarding him because there are Russian soldiers everywhere. Snake guesses they must be waiting for someone. Snake calls Otacon.

Snake: "Otacon, Solidus is keeping the president as a hostage."

Otacon: "Hostage? They must have something to do with the speech he gave."

Snake: "Yea."

Otacon: "Snake you need to find metal gear first. Worry about the president later."

Snake hangs up with Otacon but doesn't listen to him and decides to save the president. He thinks the president might know where metal gear is. There are two guards next to Solidus and Robert, two close to the back where snake is and one right in front of snake. Snake went up behind the guy in front of him pulled out his SOCOM and shot him in the head. There is a box next to the staircase. He taps it to make noise so the other two guards would go to it. He placed the guard he shot in the head there and hid on the other side. Both the guards went over and they saw the guard knocked out on the floor. Snake came up next to them and shot both of them in the head. There were only two guards left but they were right next to Solidus and Sergei so if snake were to shoot them they would see. He grabbed one of the knocked out soldiers suits and AK74U put it on. He went up to Solidus and Sergio acting like a Russian and said

Snake: "Big Boss is requesting your assistance"

Solidus: "Where at."

Snake: "On the third floor. Room 322."

Snake remembered seeing the number on one of the doors while he was on the third floor.

Solidus: "Why would Big Boss need us there?"

Snake: "He did not say why sir" said snake.

Solidus: "Guards watch him."

Solidus and Sergi left the room and headed for the third floor. Snake waited until they were out the door to pull out his SOCOM and shoot both guards. He went up to the president and untied him.

Snake: "Mr. President don't be scared my name is solid snake."

President: "From the Shadow Moses incident."

Snake: "Yes."

President: "I thought you died."

Snake: "Well I'm hear ain't I. Do you know where they are keeping metal gear."

President: "Yes they threatened to use it on me if I didn't make my speech."

Snake: "They did have something to do with the speech. Do you know why you had to make that speech?"

President: "No I was never told."

Snake: "We'll we have to hurry up. That metal gear will be activated soon."

President: "Metal Gear will be activated in 30 minutes."

Snake: "30 minutes!"

President: "That's what Solidus and Sergei were talking about. Th-" he was cut off by snake.

Snake: "Who's Sergei?"

President: "The guy Solidus was with."

Snake: "Were have I heard that name before."

President: "Sergei Gurlukovich."

Snake: "Yea. But then who's that?"

President: "That his son. Also named Sergei Gurlukovich."

Snake: "What. I never knew Gurlukovich had a son."

President: "No body else did either. I found out when he kept talking on following in his father's footsteps and that's what they call him. Hast to be him."

Snake: "That's the symbol I saw. I knew it was Gurlukovich's. We'll we better hurry up if we want to deactivate this metal gear. Did you see metal gear?"

President: "No, but I heard them talking they said he was being held in the basement room B20."

Snake: "I should've went to the basement first. But anyways c'mon."

Snake and the president start running to where metal gear is. Snake is shooting some guards on the way.

President: "By the way. How are you going to stop metal gear?"

Snake: "I have a disk to deactivate it."

Snake and the president get to the basement where metal gear is. There at least 10 guards with AK-74Us and M4s.

Snake: "Damn, security's tight. Wasn't last time I was down here? They must know I'm here now that you've escaped."

Snake takes out his AK-74U.

Snake: "Stand back."

Snake turns the corner and starts shooting everyone. He gets three before he turns the corner to dodge the bullets coming at him. He turns the corner again but this time ducks and gets two more before he turns the corner again.

President: "Don't waste your ammo"

The president pulled out a grenade from his back pocket.

President: "They threatened to pull it if didn't make my speech."

Snake: "But you told me they threatened you with metal gear."

President: "They did but they had a back up plan. Here."

The president hands snake the grenade. Snake pulls it throws it where the guards are at and waits for it to explode before looking and finding every guard dead.

Snake: "We better hurry up they'll get here soon."

They head to the room where metal gear is. Snake uses the card key to get inside.

Snake: "So this is metal gear."

President: "Wow."

"Yes."

Someone came from behind metal gear. He was short and had glasses. He only had hair on the sides of head and it was white. He had a doctor's coat on.

Snake: "Who are you?"

"My name is Device. I created this metal gear. I call it Metal Gear Arachnid."

Snake: "So you created this metal gear. By yourself."

Device: "Yes. Beauty isn't it."

Snake: "Why did you build this metal gear?"

Device: "Big Bosses orders"

Snake: "Big Boss? Are you talking about Solidus?"

Snake remembered at the Big Shell that Solidus called himself a better Big Boss.

Device: "Oh I see you don't know"

Snake: "Know What?"

Device: "If you want metal gear you'll have to get through me. Lets just keep it at that."

Snake: "Tell me about Big Boss"

Device: "You'll just have to find that out on your own. I promise it won't be long unless of course I kill you."

Snake: "Damn you"

Device pulls out a string and a needle. He ties it together and throws it at snakes belt. The needle went right through snake's USP and device pulled it toward him and shot at snake. It hit snake it the stomach and snake fell back.

Device: "Let me show you why they call me Device"

Device slammed the USP against the floor and it broke it half. He then broke off the trigger. He grabbed a couple of needles from his pocket. He put the needles through the front part of the smaller piece. He then put the trigger in the back of the gun. While snake was still on the ground device pressed the trigger and a needle flew and hit snake in the arm. He shot three more times and they all hit snake. One in the other arm and one on both legs. Device then took out a M4 and shot at snake but snake rolled out of the way. He kept shooting at snake while snake was running trying to dodge the bullets. The M4 ran out of bullets and while device was putting ammo in it snake took the needles out held them in his hand and ran towards device. He jumped over him and stabbed him in the back with all the needles. Device fell to the ground. Snake grabbed Devices M4, finished putting in the ammo, and held it up to his head.

Snake: "Tell me about Big Boss."

Device: "Hehehehe, still lost in your own world I see. Not knowing what's going on."

Snake: "Tell me now our I'll blast your head open."

But snake wasn't paying attention and didn't notice Device take out the USP he configured and shoot snake right where he got shot with the USP. Snake fell back and Device picked up the M4. He grabbed a PSG1 that was lying next to metal gear and attached it to the M4.

Solid Snake: "I called this a PSGM14. Now prepare to die Solid Snake."

Device shot at snake and snake rolled behind one of metal gears legs.

Device: "You can run but you can't hide."

Device looked around for snake.

Device: "Snake come out come out where ever you are."

As device went to turn the corner were snake was snake tackled him from behind. Snake pulled out his tranquilizer and shot Device in the throat. Snake picked the PSG1 and M4 that device put together.

Snake: "The Device has been shut down."

Snake pointed the gun to devices head and pulled the trigger.
