This is Phase 65 of MGL:A. Well, I have a lot of things to explain about
the last Phase, and several things to finish. Rei III seems to recall some
of Rei II's memories, which triggered something helluva fierce in her.
Snake seems to have run into a problem, particulary a 7'5'', 375 lb.
behemoth packing two very big guns and a bunch of armor. Now, back to the
story...
NOTE: I made another boo-boo! Misato's rank is Major, not Captain. I corrected that in this chapter, and will correct it in the other chapters soon.
"REI!!!" Shinji left Asuka's bedside to attend to Rei, who had just collapsed after her fight with the female ninja. "Rei, are you alright? Rei!" (She remembered! I thought she forgot!) Rei moaned softly as she was trying to regain consciousness. Shinji stared at the direction the attacker disappeared, still holding Rei in his arms.
(Who was she? She looked just like Rei... An AT-field? Rei... does that mean - -?)

"- - big bastard."
The door opened to reveal a very big man, covered in very thick armor from head to toe, and carrying a very big gun in each hand.
Before he could take one step into the hallway, Snake sent several silenced 5.7mm armor-piercing rounds towards the goliath's direction. Each one of the bullets bounced off his head and chest armor.
He smiled behind the dark helmet. "My turn," he said in Japanese.
"Son-of-a - -"
He pulled both triggers. Snake only had a split second to dodge to the right to hide behind a corner. In mid-air, Snake felt a sharp pain on the side of his left shoulder. Crouched down behind the corner, Snake looked at his shoulder.
"Just grazed it," he remarked as he saw a tear in the sneaking suit, sighing with relief as he observed that his shoulder was still intact. "Can't hit him with my pistol, I better ask for some advice." He dialed 141.96 on his Codec.
"What is it, Snake?" Asked Eliza Akane, Snake's military analyst on his mission.
"I have a little problem here. I ran into this really huge guard. I shot at him a couple of times with my pistol, but it just bounced off him. I thought you said these bullets were armor-piercing!"
"Calm down, Snake. There is no body armor that the FN bullets can't tear through, unless this guy is wearing... well, it is possible that your friend is wearing a special heavy-duty titanium composite similar to Evangelion armor plating, but even one inch of this plating is quite heavy for humans to handle!"
Snake hid his head behind the wall after sticking it out of the corner for a second, only to have it fired at. "He's a big boy; I think maybe he can HANDLE it! It looks like he's carrying two SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) in each hand."
"SAWs... Snake, he's carrying Fabrique Nationale M249 Paratrooper Rifles. It is a compact version of the FN M249 series typically seen on U.S. Army Humvees, and is used for squad teams. Each carries a 100 bullet belt-fed - -"
"I don't give a crap about what the gun is! I just need to know how to stop him! Aren't you my military analyst?!?"
"Ok, I apologize... Try using a stun grenade. While he's incapacitated, use the knife in the holster on your right leg, and turn on - -"
The Codec transmission was abruptly ended. Snake could not wait any longer. He stood up, and readied his knife and a green-striped grenade he pulled from one of his pouches.
"All right piggy, come get some," Snake said loudly in Japanese. A rain of bullets answered him, striking the wall where he was hiding.
The squadrons sent down by Maya quickly swarmed the room where the Children are, and blocked off all entrances to the hallway. Misato fought her way to the room, and quickly grabbed Shinji in a hug.
"SHINJI!!!!! You're OK!!!!!"
"uurrk... Misato..."
Misato quickly released the young boy from her clutches, and looked at the other Children. Asuka was still unconscious on her bed, but - -
"Rei!! Rei, is she all right? What happened, Shinji?!?"
"Sh-she remembered, then she fought the other, a-and the AT-fields - -" Shinji was unable to finish a coherent sentence; it seemed like he was still stunned from what happened.
The Major stood there for a second, and then snapped out of it. "Take the Children to a more secure location near the main control room. I want extra security around that area. Well, come on!!" The soldiers in the room acted quickly.
Gendo sat in his office. Fuyutsuki was reporting to him what happened to the pilots.
"It appears that there are a few bugs in Ms. Akane's Transfer System."
"Yes sir, a few memories seemed to have slipped out of her soul."
"I thought it was supposed to rid her of memories."
"Dr. Akagi also worked on the project. Should we ask her about it?"
"That won't be necessary at this point. I am close to enacting my plan anyways, and there will be no need for a revision of the Transfer System program. Rei's AT-field activation will not be a problem at this point either. We are too far along the plan to worry about that now. Just keep this intruder at bay."
"Yes, sir."
A spy inside NERV headquarters reports to his superior.
"He does not expect anything."
"At least we still have that. The First Child's AT-field was unexpected, but can be dealt with by our Test Type. What news of the Prototype?"
"He still has not surfaced. It appears that the last battle has drained him quite a bit."
"When he shows up, he will be dealt with by our Test Type as well, if not Snake. Does Snake know anything yet?"
"No. He has not received too many problems in infiltrating Central Dogma."
"Two highly skilled operatives - - our chances look good. Report in if there is anymore news."
"Yes, Big Boss. This is Judas, signing off."
The figure sat back, and smiled to himself. (Big Boss... I've always liked the sound of that name.)
Misato and her colleagues watched the footage of the recent battle between Rei and the intruder. They were at a loss for words when they saw Rei using her AT-field to defend herself. They were further stupefied at the site of two Reis duking it out with their AT-fields.
"So... is Rei an angel, then?" Maya asked, breaking the long silence that followed the end of the footage.
Snake pulled the pin and waited for 3 seconds before tossing the grenade behind the corner. A bright flash of light and a loud bang followed, and soon after, the screaming and cursing of a man echoed through the hallway. Snake ran out of the corner with his large military knife readied.
"Canned meat! Lets open it up and see if it's still fresh!"
Snake saw that the behemoth's back was facing him. He found an unarmored spot just between the shoulders. (Perfect...)
The screams increased in volume.
The control room door opened to reveal Shirou with his helmet removed and a blank expression on his face.
"Excellent! Did you take care of him?" The Lieutenant inside asked him in Japanese.
Shirou replied by spitting out blood and collapsing face first onto the ground, revealing a pissed off Solid Snake clutching an M249 Para. The five people in the room stood in shock.
"Hai."
Bodies and shell casings riddled the floor of the control room.
END OF PHASE 6
Not a very long chapter, but still a good one. This chapter is exactly why Snake is _the_ Ass-Kicker. Has our dear Akane -san worked for NERV before? Who is the traitor inside NERV? Who is the mysterious man using the name Big Boss (can't be the real Big Boss, he's in a freezer, right?)? Find out in the next exciting episode of Dragonba - - I mean, MGL:A!
