RISE OF THE METAL GEAR

Pt. 2 (The Truth)

"Oh my god." Was all the digidestined could say at what they saw on the television. The Breaking News was about an explosion in the Middle Eastern desert. "We Interrupt this program to bring you information that a nuclear explosion in the Iraqi desert 560 miles away from the Bhagdad territory. We now take you to the United Nations Head Quarters in New York for ambassadors from around the world to explain this incident." The screen switched from the news station to the large meeting from in the UN. "As many of you know now," The Middle Eastern Ambassador started, "There was a nuclear explosion in one of the nuclear production factories that was disbanded 4 years ago." The group was still in shock, after hearing this Izzy pulled out his laptop and begain to do some research. "However, this was not an accidental explosion but an act of terrorism. The people that were responsible are a group of three men that are part of the NGO 'Philanthropy' terrorist group."

Tai was angered at the moment. "Who do those guys think they are?!" Tai shouted. "That war ended and now someone's trying to bring it up again." Sora stepped in, "I understand how you feel Tai, but that's how people are. They can be friend's, enemy's or just a mystery." Just then Izzy waved a hand around. "Hey guys! I found something on those guys the Ambassador was talking about." The group crowded around Izzy. "It says here that the three men have been terrorists since.2005." Izzy continued reading the article. "What happened back then was a top secret mission that almost ended up as possibly a third world war, It took place at Shadow Moses Island in the Alaskan area a man called 'Solid Snake' saved the world from a machine that was said to be like any other." Tai was started to be puzzled. "And what was the machine?" Izzy pulled up the picture of the machine. "Metal Gear." He answered. Mimi had a strange look on her face. " I think I heard about this before." She said. The whole group turned their attention at her. "Now I remember! There was an incident like that just a few months ago. Like something about a power plant being blown up." She said. Izzy did more typing. "Was the plant called 'The Big Shell' ?" He popped up a picture of the plant. "Yeah that's the one. And before that, a huge ship sunk in the lower Manhattan area." Izzy had something popped out of his head. "Yeah I know what you're talking about. There was a tanker that sank 2 years before production of the Big Shell started. That was also an act of Terrorism." "But read this right here, it says: 'I've realized that when going through this mission with the two soldiers that everything was just out of the Shadow Moses Incident, and to believe that we're actually pawns.''

Izzy finished reading the sentence. "What does that mean? That we're living in some sort of video game?" Matt asked. Izzy shook his head. "I don't know, but the guy who said it goes by the name 'Otacon'." Izzy pulled up a picture of Otacon, Then Snake, and finally the third man. "These three look like they mean serious business." TK was absorbed looking at the pictures. Kari nodded. "Yeah, but who's the third guy, 'Raiden'?" Kari pointed at Raiden's mug shot. "He must be one of the two Soldiers that Otacon was talking about. All it says was that the Big Shell mission was his first actual mission, since the only combat he did was VR Training." Tai then walked back to the TV and changed the channel. "Well let's just be glad that we weren't in that explosion and been part of that group." The group then followed him and watched TV and later on spent the night in the train.

Davis was the only one who was wide awake, he was staring at the stars. I wish I was like snake.Then I can really impress Kari. Ten minutes later Davis laid back and went to sleep.

At the Kyriko Train station

"Alright guys, we made it to Japan and now we need to find a place to crash for the night." Otacon was the first to walk out of the station, followed by Snake, then Raiden. "Good idea we need to lay low after finding out that the national guards around the globe will be starting their patrols soon." Snake pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. "But where's a good place to stay at? Everyone know who we are." Raiden asked.

"Then we'll sleep in the alleys." Snake Joked. "Hey! I found a train." Otacon pointed towards a train that the Digidestined was sleeping. Unaware that anyone was in there, the men walked to the train which will meet a group that could prove to be a great ally...
