Disclaimer: As I said before, I don't Metal Gear Solid. I don't even own the damn game! How insulting is that! I do owe Metal Gear Solid the Game, but now part 2. I guess I'm still waiting for Metal Gear Solid Substance for the PS2. Oh well. Anyways, I don't own MGS or anything else. The story plot is mine however, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't steal that from me. New rules. When you see ***** before a paragraph, it means exact time only through the eyes of someone else. Got it?


METAL GEAR SOLID
"Bloodstain"
Chapter 3


February 27, 2008 Patriot's Safehouse Computer Analyzation Room 12:45 a.m. Eastern Time 0145 M.T.

" Quickly, in here. I heard something." Snake was in the middle of reading a document on something call "OP#:23BF6A." Otherwise know as "Bloodstain." When Snake was reading this, the hatch door opened and three men in uniform entered. But, there uniform was different from the guards in the Conference Hall. They had bullet-proof shield glass, bullet-proof vest and helmet. They were the special Clearing Officers, Snake knew that the moment he saw them enter. Snake looked around, but found no place to hide. He then remembered the stealth button Otacon put on his suit. He quickly pushed the pad like button and disappeared. The guards entered the room.

"Nothing here. Must be rats," said guard one.
"But the Conference guards said they saw something in there," said guard two.
Guard three spoke."It does strike me as curious. Still there isn't---wait a minute. Look. A computer's on."

The guard pointed at the computer Snake was on. Snake pushed on the keypad alt.F4 and the window on which the document was on vanished. The guards then went "Wwwwoooooooh." They saw the naked wallpaper on the computer. " Now that is one fine-" he was cut off by a knock out blow by Snake.
"What was that?" aske guard three. Guard one was knocked out. " Quickly, turn on your light on the gun," ordered guard two to guard three. He did as he was told and switched on the light. The light went to the floor were guard one was knocked out. " Oh God!" The guard then shined his light were Snake was at, and produced a shadow. The guards saw the shadow and quickly knew what happened.

Guard two picked up his radio. "We have an intruder in the computer room on the 1st floor using stealth, send back up unit 3."
Another mans voice boomed on the other line. "Roger guard 23b. Decending back up unit 3 down towards you."

Guard three was already shooting at the shadow of Snake. 'DAMN!' he thought, 'how could I have been so careless?' The guard lost Snake's shadow. Snake took out his silenced USP, held it on his left hand, and his silenced SOCOM and held that in his right hand. He placed the M9 on his back gun holder. He shot the lights that illuminated the room two at a time. The room went completely dark except for the fact the guard still had his light on. Snake shot guard three's hand, which dropped his gun and gave out an " ARGH!" "What happened?" asked guard two. "He shot all the lights and my hand!" They heard another shot, quick and it sounded like a whisp of wind. "He's using a silencer on his gun." Guard two attempted to turn on his light. "He also took out my light." Snake couldn't help but smile. He still got it. Guard two, out of fear, started shooting franticlly around the room. The only illumination was the fire bursting out of the AK. A bullet hit Snake, more like scraped, on his left hip. It destroyed the stealth button. Snake was still in stealth, but the battery slowly drained away, and Snaked was no longer invisible. Still, since it was dark, the guards couldn't see him. Snake still had the advantage and put on his thermal goggles.


*************************

Unit 3's squad leader led his group throug the Conference Hall. The last remaining three, since the other three guards were the ones that went into the Computer Room, were surprised to see them and worried about their comrades. " Unit 3, Squad Leader speaking. Approach with extreme caution. Intruder suspected to be in stealth. Put on thermal goggles." The unit was exactly five men, in special uniforms. Instead of the red ones the guards used, they had on green ones, with bullet proof shields, vest, and pads. It was nearly impossible to knock them down. And they always got the job done. The unit's leader was at the age of fourty, a former General in submarine warfare. He was the cause of a recent terrorist attack on Germany. He killed his political officer, who was found to be an American imperialist, and attacked Germany with a high powered Vulcan missile. He was a hero in Russia. But, the attack had an affect on the old general. After the attack, he got off and went to Germany. They had hit the nation's capital, and killed everyone within a 30 mile radius. He saw the little children who were playing in their school playgrounds, dead. Swimming in a pool of their own blood. He, after that, was always cautious about shooting someone. His mind would go mad at the mere thought of taking more lives. He proofed that Russians had sympathy.

He walked up to the hatch that was labeled 'Computer Analyzation Room.' He straighten his back to the wall, next to the hatch. Another man behind him, and the other three on the opposite side of the hatch. The leader nodded, and the first three men on the opposite side of him walked up the hatch and slowly started to walk in. They heard the screams of the guards, and feared the worst for them.

*************************

Snake saw that the guards were going crazy. He aimed his USP and shot guard two on his arm, handicapping it. The guard yelled in pain, placed his AK in his other hand, and continued shooting. Snake kept running around the room, dodging the bullets. The guard had destroyed most of the computers, but Snake made sure he didn't destroy the one he was on. He kept playing with the guard yelling " Over here" and making him shot in the direction he heard Snake's voice. Snake saw that the guard finally ran out of ammunition, and called Otacon.

"Otacon, I have a computer here with files on something called 'Bloodstain.'"
"Ok Snake. I'll hack into it and download the files."

Snake looked at the computer screen. He saw what seemed like a anti-hacker system. Snake heard Otacon over Codec. " Oh no you won't." And then, after Otacon hacked in, " My word!" " Saw the wallpaper huh?" asked Snake with a smile. Later on, another screen popped up saying 'Download Complete.'

"There Snake. I'll read the documents. Take care"

Suddenly, a noise from behind made Snake jump. The hatch door opened and five men dressed differently from the original guards came in. He noticed they had on thermal goggles.

*******************************

" Ahhh! There ya are!" The guards came in, with the leader behind three men. They saw a man with, what seemed to be two silenced guns in his hands, stand there. The man quickly ran behind the corner has the guards started shooting their M4 machine guns. The intruder jumped out and shot the first guard in front of the line of five men. The front guard fell to the floor, dead. " That's impossible, nobody as shot one of us and kill one with just one shot," said the guard behind the now dead front man. "He was probably careless, and didn't have his shield up. His loss. Quickly, get that man!" yelled the unit's leader. The intruder quickly jumped behind the corner of the wall. The guards were stuck in the hall that ran into the room. They noticed a type of ball bounce against the walls of the hall. "Grenade!" yelled one of the unit's guards. They all kneeled down and put their shields up. " A dud!" yelled another guard. The intruder smiled to himself. He threw a stun grenade, which takes ten seconds more then a regular grenade. The new ones at least. The unit's leader at the same time remembered this info. He yelled out:
"It's a stun grenade!" Too late. The grenade went off, and the other two in front of the line were knocked out. The intruder quickly jumped out and shot the two knocked out guards. Dead. This is when the unit's leader started to worry. He looked to the man behind him. "Quickly, give me your grenade." "Yes sir," he said. He handed him a grenade from his hip and gave it to his leader. The unit's leader pulled of the pin and threw it right next to the intruder.

*******************************

Snake noticed the grenade come up to him and quickly kicked it back. It bounced against the walls of the hall and blew up between him and the last two remaining guards. The blast didn't affect either of them, but it knocked them off their feet. Snake jumped out of the corner and shot off all his rounds at the guards. The guards put up their shields but the one in front's shield cracked a bit. Snake reloaded his guns with a nine round magazine and started shooting again. Finally, the guard's shield completely broke and all that was left was his body armor.

********************************

The unit's, more like the the last man's leader, shield broke. He was now open. Two bullets hit him in the exact spot on his chest. Whoever this guy was, he was a master marksman. The third and fourth shot finally went through his bullet proof vest. The feeling of the sharp, burning metal going through his skin and in his chest made him give a grunt. He felt his blood quickly oozing out, and he started to feel faint. The feeling of his legs left him, and he fell to the floor. He started breathing heavily, and coughed blood. But since he was wearing a mask, the blood stuck to his mouth. He smelled his own blood, and his vision started to haze. The blood pouring out of his chest slowly started to make a puddle of red water on the ground. Suddenly, he saw quick flashbacks of his life. His childhood. The first time he met a girl and fell in love. When he and that girl had love. When he killed innocent lives. That's when he realized he was going to die. It didn't hit him when those bullets hit. Survival of the fittest, he remembered his science teacher in the eigth grade told him. Even the intruder needed to survive. He suddenly lost air, and he couldn't breath. Everything around him was turning black. And his last thought was of those innocent people he killed years ago.

*******************************

Snake saw that the shooting stopped. He noticed that the three original guards who came in to check on the room were dead. Must of caught a couple of flying bullets, thought Snake. He slowly poked his head out of the corner and noticed there was only one guard left. He was looking down at his, what looked to Snake, like his captain or family relative. Snake started walking out of the corner that protected him so. The silenced SOCOM was on his back holdster and he held his USP on both hands, keeping aimed straight at the last guards head. The guard seemed to shake himself from out of his world and looked at Snake. He quickly picked up his gun and pulled the trigger. It was empty. The guard kept pulling the trigger, in a hopeless attempt to stay alive. He started to shake. Snake walked up to him. He put his gun upto his, resting on the guards forehead. A silent whisp of air went by, left as quick as it came. Blood pourd out of the guards head, as he slowly fell to the ground. Snake just watched him fall and die. When the body finally fell to the cold floor, Snake bent down and stripped him of any extra items he may use in the future. It's a war, he thought to himself. It's either you or him. Still, Snake's thoughts did not comfort him. He still felt guilty about killing every single man in the room. But when you're on a battlefield, you do anything to survive. Snake called Otacon on the Codec.

"So, did you download everything?" asked Snake.
"Sure did. Weird though. There are bits and pieces of info missing."
"Probably for classified personnal," thought Snake aloud.
"Whatever the cause," said Otacon," all I understood was that their is some type of big op going on. Something that could completely destroy all of North America. Apparently, a new type of Metal Gear is only part of this big operation. This op is basically to overtake the U.S. I'll tell ya more after I read more. So, how'd you do in your battle? I can see your still alive. Well, whatever. I need you to go in deeper of the base and see what else we discover. All to many times we've taking hints without knowing crap. We still are blindfolded in here. Good luck Snake." And otacon hanged up.

1:00 a.m. 0200 M.T.

Snake cleaned room. He drag the bodies to the end of the room, all neatly stacked up at a corner. The lights were out completely. Snake had on his thermal goggles. He looked around the room, searching for another way out. At the end of the room, opposite the hatch connected to hall were he entered, was another hall with not a hatch, but a automatic sliding door. It said 'Lv.1 Engine Room.' Snake looked at it, and cursed the world for their technology. He knew he had to get a Lv.1 card, but didn't know were. Suddenly, as he was thinking were the card might be, he heard a ringing in his ear. Someone was calling him by Codec. Snake answered the call.

"A Level 1 security card is in a computer harddrive, cleverly hidden as a floppy disk," said a man. He wasn't using transmission, but he wasn't hiding his voice either. But he still kept his face hidden.
"Who are you?" asked Snake.
"You, of all people, should know who you're speaking to," answered the man. He had a hint of an Russian accent.
"Mr.Informitious?" asked Snake.
"Glad to hear you remember," answered the man.
"Why are you helping me?"
"I want to see what, as you already discovered, this 'Bloodsatin' is. And I want to see the RRLA fall."
"The RRLA?" asked Snake.
"Yes. The Russian Rebirth Liberation Army. A big terrorist group in Mother Russia."
"Why hasn't the news mention this?"
"Russia as kept this secret to itself. The RRLA is trying to destroy Russia."
"I thought they were the 'Rebirth' army, like in the name."
"They're trying to make a new Russia with a better government, and make it a whole again."
"What does the RRLA have in common with 'Bloodstain?' Are they running this whole op?"
"You're smarter then you look, Snake. Yes, what you say is a fact. But they, the army that is, are just servants of a bigger purpose."
"What do you mean?" asked Snake, now getting interested in the subject.
"They are being commanded by a big leader. He hid for some years. I was tracking him down, trying to figure out what he was up to. I have a degree in analyzing. For almost five years he was working hard at taking over and controlling the RRLA. He has cleverly deceived them, making them think that they will reborn Russia, though he can care less about his homeland."
"Ocelot," thought Snake out loud.
"Yes. He is behind all this."
"What's his purpose with this op?" asked Snake.
"I don't know. That's why I'm here."
"Your in the safehouse. I know because you are not using burst transmission. Still, where are you?"
There was a pause. Then Mr.Informitious answered: "Inside the engine room."
Then he hung up.

Snake stood their in thought, thinking of what his mysterious friend just said. Then he rethought that: can Snake call him a 'friend?' He shook himself, coming back to the world. He remembered Mr.Informitious telling him about the security card in a computer. He looked around. Almost all of the computers, which Snake counted to around ten, were destroyed save prehaps two or three. He check the last three, and on his the last one he found the only floppy disk in the whole room. He walked up to the door and slid the card in a card slot next to the door. The door automaticaly opened and Snake walked inside the next room.

Engine Room 1:10 a.m 0210 M.T.

The noise made Snake thought how come he didn't hear it in the Computer Room. The room was tall, wide, and freakishly big, thought Snake. The room was incredibly noisy, brown with a hint mixture of grey painting, and not well guarded. Snake picked up back in the Computer Room one of the radios the guards used. He thought it might be useful. There were four big generators. They were water runned, like four big mills on a river. The height of the room was exactly four stories high. Each story up there were rails that circled the square room. There at least two guards per story, so that nothing can be missed, or an intruder unseen. Snake knew this was bad. The hatch door was located on the second floor, and it went inside the wall three feet deep, so Snake was still under cover begind a corner; the hatch door was in the corner. The engines were on the bottom level, and only one guard was there. Snake looked around and saw two guards on the floor he was on. Snake took out his M9 and placed his guns on the hip holdsters.

There were pillars that went from the floor to the ceiling, and the room was square, 100 by 100 feet. Every ten feet a pillar was placed. Ten pillars were across each wall. Snake ran across the room to the first pillar straight ahead from the hatch. He straighten his back against the wall of the pillar. His M9 felt cold at the touch of his hands. He knew he was open, and eventually he'll be spotted. Damn those guards for shooting his stealth! thought Snake. The two guards on the floor he was on started to slowly walk were Snake was at. He'd hate doing it, but he'd have to risk a fight. He put away his M9 on his back and took out his two silenced guns, locked and loaded. He awaited the guards, who seemed to take forever to walk over were he was. They soon turned the corner and Snake just stood there, silence and unmoving. The two guards eventually stopped, right in front of Snake. They looked at him. and he just smiled. He placed his two guns behind each head, and smacked his guns against there spine. They both fell forward, face first. In mid air, half way through falling, Snake placed his guns against their heads, quick as thunder, and shot them. They were dead before they hit the ground.

Their blood made a puddle of blood. But since the pillars were so near the edge of the rail sidewalk, the blood of the two fallen guards slowly oozed over the side. On the bottom level the one guard walked right under the falling blood drops. He felt something warm, like warm milk, hit his face. The blood staind his mask. He looked up, and saw little dark drops fall. The lighting in the room was very dim, that's why the guards didn't noticed Snake much because he didn't move and because their heads were down and the lights were dim. The guard stuck his hand out and let a drop fall on his glove. He looked at it. He took off the glove of his left hand and touched the drop. His index finger was red. "Blood." He looked up. Taking his radio, he pushed the talk button. " Guard 24b on floor two, were are you?" No response. Snake didn't hear the voice on the stolen radio. Each room had different frequencies for the guards. "Why don't you respond?" the guard asked again. At that moment, the guard on the bottom floor knew what happened. He heard the news of an intruder, but didn't expect he'd survive Unit 3. The guard was about to call the back-up unit 2, but Snake noticed the blood flowing over the side. He looked over the rail and saw the guard with a radio in his hand. He pointed the silenced USP, aiming his laser at the guards hand. The guard noticed the laser on his right hand. He followed it, for it was slowly climbing up his chest and it stopped at his forehead. The guard saw the man above him. Snake looked at him. The guard for a moment saw his eyes, pale and empty of feelings. Yet he got a glimpse of happiness in his eyes. A glint. The guard smiled under his mask, and Snake smiled as well. Blood poured out of the guards head on the back.

The guards on the third level, however, had on thermal goggles because of the dim lighting on the floor. Every now and again they looked down on the lower levels. But as guard one of the third floor looked down, he saw two motionless bodies on the second floor, and one standing. He didn't seem to look his way. He called the two guards on the floor he was. "There is an intruder on the second basement in the Engine Room. Look down. He killed three men. Calling back-up Unit 2." For some odd reason, the radio seemed to be jammed. No response came back to the guard. "Damn! They must of started the radio silence." Snake looked up and saw the guard one of the third floor was looking at him. Why didn't he call a back up unit? wondered Snake. The guard however, thought different. He raised up his AK and started shooting. The bullets barely missed Snake, and he jumped behind the pillar as to hide from the bullets. The other two guards at the third floor started running towards guard one. "Why are you shooting?" asked guard two. "There is an intruder on the second floor. He has killed three men. Radio silence has commenced."

"Really? Damn!" said guard three.
Guard two spoke: "I'll take Alex and go down to the second floor." He was pointing to the guard next to him.
"So it is decide. I'll keep him covered from here," said guard one. The other two guards nodded and started walking to a hatch. Snake peeked over the pillar.

He saw the two guards walking away from guard one. A thought crossed Snake's mind: 'Shit! There coming over here, to the lower level. What am I gonna do?' Snake noticed guard one not watching him but looking at the two guards leaving the third floor. Snake saw this chance and ran across to the next third pillar. Guard one turned around and started looking at the pillar he thought Snake was on. Suddenly, a bullet hit him in the hand, making him let go of his gun and let it drop to the floor. Lucky, the gun was on safety and didn't let go some bullets. The guard yelled out in pain, blood pouring out the guard's hand. Suddenly, the hatch door on the second floor were Snake was on opened, and the two guards ran outside the hatch. Snake quickly jumped out the corner of the pillar and shot off all his rounds. All the bullets hit both bodies, blood splurting out of the back of the guards. They fell to the floor, and their blood made another pool of red water. Guard one on the third floor quickly got his radio, hoping that radio silence has been broken. Silence was his answer. The guard cursed his radio and threw it across the floor, opposite the side he was facing. The radio fell with a bang, and Snake popped out of his corner. The guard saw him, and quickly picked uo his AK machine gun. He knew he only had a few seconds, or maybe even none. Still, the guard aimed. And he quickly pulled the trigger, with him aiming on Snake's back.
