METAL GEAR SOLID
"Bloodstain"
Chapter 4
Engine Room 1:20 a.m. Eastern Time
The room was still dimly lit. The generators made all the noise, and eventually got on the guards nerves from time to time. Snake's back was facing the guard, and the guard had his machine gun pointed right at Snake's back. The bullets were already flying, towards that one point on Snakes' back. The world seemed to slow down. The bullets were no longer going at light speed, instead one mile per hour. Snake heard the shots fire, and began to turn around. The bullets stopped, all motion stopped. Time stood still. Snake turned around to his right, jumping back behind the pillar he was on. Snake and the bullets stood there, in mid-air. The bullets inches away from his face. Suddenly, time sped up. The bullets were now going at the close rate of the speed of light, and they all missed Snake. Snake jumped back to his pillar. That was to close, he thought. The guard yelled out in frustation: "Dammit!"
Snake heard the yell. He quickly jumped out again and shot the guard, straight in the head. THe guards blood spluttered out from behind the guards head. His body was shaking by the sudden loss of blood, and fell to the floor. War is and never will be pretty. Suddenly, the hatch once agained opened, and a whole squad of guards of about ten came out shooting with their M5 machine guns. Snake ran behind the pillar again. "Quickly men! This man is doing guerilla warfare! Lets play this bastards' game!" All the guards did what their leader told them and two men paired up on five pillars. Snake was trapped like a rat,in a circle of fire, and everything smelled.
Security Room Same Time.
The room was small. About ten by ten feet in perimeter. On ever wall layed monitors of cameras all over the safehouse. Right now, there were two men in this room. A soldier dressed in a privates uniform had a pair of earphones on. He wore a marine type hat, only Russian. He had one star on his left shoulder. And he was seated in front of a monitor which showed their men shooting at a single target. The other man was standing next to the seated private. He had long white hair and mustache. He had on the Russian uniform of the same has the other guards. Except he had on a trench coat, and one arm was more buff then the other. "So, our friend as entered the Engine Room," said the man. "Yes sir. I have sended soldiers to the room to eliminate him." The the man in the coat gave out a cold yet cheerful laugh. "Fool. That is not necesary. A poor waste of soldiers." "Sir?" asked the private. "You'll find out soon enough."
Engine Room
Bullets whistle passed him. Snake was trapped, and cleverly covered. 'SHIT! What am gonna do?' thought Snake. Suddenly, out of nowhere, bullets roared from the upper decks. About two floors higher Snake could see that bullets were flying down from an unmarked man. The bullets hit the guards on the second floor where Snake was. They all slowly fell like swapped flies. Snaked shut his eyes and turned his head. Suddenly, the bullets stopped. It was dead quite. Snake opened his eyes and slowly walked out of his corner. Bodies all around, on the floor, dead. Snake looked up at the upper floor, and saw a dark figure looking at him. He quickly realized that Snake was looking at him. He turned and ran away, and Snake stood there in wonder. He knelt down and called Otacon in Codec.
"Otacon, do you see all that?"
"I sure did. What the hell was that?
"My thoughts exactly. Who was that guy?"
"I don't know Snake. Well, just deal with him when the time comes. Right now, you got to get to the bottom of this operation. And this safehouse seems more then a safehouse. I want to to get in deep. Each floor in that Engine Romm leads to a different room. The main purpose of the Enigine Room is to mainly rendezvous with people and to discuss things. I want you to go to the bottom floor and search any hatches that might lead to a room. Call me later when anything happens."
Otacon locked out.
Snake looked around the room he was in. He saw no way of getting down. But then, he saw a second hatch across from the one he entered in. He ran across the room and opened the hatch. He saw a stairs leading up and down. Snake went down, hoping to find something on the bottom and get it over with. Suddenly, he heard something fall from a couple of stairs above. A magazine slowly jumped from step to step down towards Snake. It landed perfectly, next to Snake's feet. He looked up and saw that dark figure up two levels. Snake smiled at him, and suddenly jumped, and started running up the mile of stairs. The dark figure saw that Snake saw him, and he also started running. The black figure ran up to the hatch that ran into the fourth floor. Snake seemed to leap from stairs to stairs. He evntually got to the top level, and entered the floor. He took out his USP and held it in both his hands. He had it straight ahead of him, pointing. Suddenly, the black figure jumped out from a pillar, with a knife in his hand. Snake's reflexes took over and he quickly grabbed the knife with his hands, and the very tip of the knife was pinching his forehead. He was wearing a black ski mask with holes for the eyes and nose and completely pitch black clothes, almost impossible to see him in a dark corner. They both held on. Snake started to sweat. Then, Snake kicked the guy in his left knee, careful though not to break it. The guy grunted in pain, and released his grip on the knife and fell back. He hit the wall and landed on the floor. Snake threw the knife over the rail and pointed the gun straight at the new guy.
"Hold on Snake," he said. He sounded Russian.
"Who are you and why are you doing here?" asked Snake.
"I'm here to help you of course."
"What!?"
"Snake, don't you remember?"
Snake had a memory flashback. "Your that guy that instant messaged me on Otacons' laptop. Right?"
"Well done Snake," said the man. He slowly got up, and stared at Snake. "That was one heavy blow there, Snake. Your lucky it didn't break my knee."
Snake smiled," Not luck."
The man then started to take of his mask. "Let me introduce myself, I am-"
"Ramius Gorklavichsy," Snake cut him off.
Ramius laughed. "How'd you know?"
"Because of your accent, and because before I left for this mission I checked you out. You're the blind one, right?"
Ramius put on a face of seriousness. "That is correct. I thought I was in P.O. for a world wide peace offer, a project I thought we started. Instead, they used me for more political power. They blinded me with my dream of a peaceful world. Yes, I am the fool."
"Well, why the hell are you here?" Snake asked, a bit pissed.
"To help."
"What?"
"Snake, you don't know all about this operation, Bloodstain, do you?"
"Well, I was looking on to it," said Snake.
"I'll fill you in Snake. See, Bloodstain ain't all you think it to be. Yes, it does involve a new MG, but that's only a step of it."
"Explain," said Snake, now interested.
"Well, Metal Gear Fox got its name for being swift and powerful and slick, just like a fox. It is undetected by any type of radar. It is completely silent. The best Metal Gear so far. But why is it here, of all places, in a place where the Patriots designed to hide? It all comes down the RRLA."
"The RRLA?" asked Snake.
"The RRLA stands for Russia Rebirth Liberty Army, and they are the terrorists from Russia of course. My country has suffered many a death from those.....people. The children that died..... Anyways, yes, the RRLA is behind all of these. They designed all of these. The time FOX came in, everything."
"How could the RRLA bring in such a big hunk of machine inside the United States and not get noticed?"
"You ready for this Snake? You remember the September 11 Attack?"
"How can I forget?" Snake was there in the streets, the lives that were lost.....
"Well, it was all planned, step by step, to bring FOX."
"WHAT!?" Snake yelled.
"Yes. The RRLA planned all of that day, the first and second day. only to bring in FOX."
"But why and how?"
"Well Snake, at the moment the RRLA had a short alliance with the original Patriots, and the RRLA also had an alliance with that idiot of a man, Osama. But beyond that, the RRLA promised revenge on the United States for Osama only if they helped them out on the attack. The Patriots of course knew all of this, they planned it all. To get FOX."
"You mean to tell me that FOX came before RAY?" asked Snake.
"Yes. RAY was a distraction for Ocelot and you. The Patriots gave RAY to the Marines, only no one knew of this. It was planned, that attack, the fake RAY, everything. Only to hide the true Metal Gear. Of course, they didn't expect your counterpart, Solidus, to find ARSENAL, but even then they had a back up plan. They just wanted FOX, for their main idea. Bloodstain."
"So what is Bloodstain?" asked Snake. Also, Otacon was hearing over the Codec.
"Bloodstain is the most ruthless, bloodiest operation ever. It is to completely eliminate the current Patriot's Organization and kill off thousands of U.S. citizens. Bloodstain is death day for the U.S."
"So, Bloodstain is basically a operation to kill off the United States?" asked Snake.
"Yes," said Ramius. "Bloodstain is basically a slaughter, but something along the line changed. The RRLA, the head of the operation, obtained a new leader. He wanted t get back at the Patriots, but as you see, they are gone, replaced by the P.O. So, this new leader made a truce with the P.O. This new leader is Ocelot."
"Somehow, I'm not surprised," said Snake.
"Does all of this seem clarity to you Snake?"
"So far, I understand that RAY was a distraction as the September 11th attack to bring FOX, but somehow I feel like that ain't whole."
"That's one reason I'm here as well. I feel the same instinct."
"The rest I got was that Bloodstain is basically an opertaion to kill off the P.O. and the United States, but how is that possible if the new RRLA leader, Ocelot, has a truce with them?" asked Snake.
"Well, teh original Bloodstain operation was to bring in FOX and hide ARSENAL, and then make copies and sell them to remote countries to make peace. A world alliance if you will."
"By remote countries you mean like Iraq?"
"Good example Snake. Yes, I do," said Ramius impressed with how fast Snake catched on.
"So Bloodstain was a peace operation?"
"Sort to speak. Bloodstain was a kill operation, but its target was Russia."
"For its nuclear research and power?"
"Yes, but ever since the break of the Soviet Union, that power was scattered. The original Patriots wanted to get the power and nuclear weapons and destroy their counterpart of superpowers."
"I see. No competition."
"Yes Snake. But since the RRLA got a new leader, Ocelot wanted revenge for the ARSENAL and RAY incident. So he replanned Bloodstain. To destroy the U.S."
"I see. With the U.S. gone, their is no superpower to stop anything. Even-"
"World domination. Snake we knew it was possible, but not like this."
"Shit! So what do we do?"
"Stop the operation."
"And how do we do that?"
"Destroy its key structure points. Snake, we'll have to seperate. I'll be in touch with Codec. My frequency is 140.67. I'll explain everything we must. You'll have to trust me on this." Ramius held out his hand.
Snake stood there, staring at Ramius. He knew what Ramius said was true. Snake was the world's hero, he took his hand. "An alliance then," said Ramius. They both smiled. SUddenly, a hatch door opened. "The Clearing Team," said Snake. "They must have called a dead guard, and got no response. Quick, we must hide behind the pillars of this building." Snake and Ramius each took a pillar. The Clearing Team slowly started to walk towards them. "Clear!" they'd constantly say evertime they checked a pillar. Snake looked across the room at Ramius. He made an expression and shrugged, and Snake remembered. "Shit! Ramius doesn't have a weapon!" The guards slowly started to walk towards them. Snake thought fast. He looked at Ramius. Snake pointed at his gun in his left hand and suggested Ramius with his thumb. "When I get to shooting, you get to running," thought Snake. Ramius nodded in agreement. Snake took out his other gun. Quickly, Snake jumped out of his pillar and shot two guards in the hand, releasing their maching guns. Snake quickly jumped back. Seemed like four guards. He yelled over the gun shower. "There are four!!!!" "Got it!" replied Ramius. He turned around and started to run, while Snake covered him. Finally, Ramius made it to a hatch and escaped. But know Snake was in a tangle.
The guards all started shooting again. "I don't want to face this guys," he thought. Snake quickly got one of his stun grenades and threw it. He quickly started to run to a hatch, when the grenade exploded behind him. He entered the hatch before the grenade went off. Snake entered a hall. It was pitch black, except for a few dim lights on the ceiling. The light from the bulbs showed only half of Snake's face whenever he walked under them. Before knowing it, Snake had hit the end of the hall. Snake put his body flat against the left wall, and crawled slowly towards the hatch. The hatch automatically opened, blinding Snake with the light shining through. He started slowly to recover. Suddenly, he froze. He looked closely at the tall figure looking at him. Snake held his gun down next to his leg. "Metal Gear!!!!!!" He looked at the new type model FOX. It looked like the other GEARS, but somehow it was alternated. Snake gasped and quickly went behind a crate of some sort. "It's active," Snake thought. Suddenly, a voice boomed from within FOX.
"Hello brother! I have been expecting you." Snake recognized the voice. As if hypnotize, he slowly started to walk out of his hiding place. The head of FOX was low, and right in front of Snake's face. Snake looked into the eyes of FOX. "LIQUID!?"
Author's Note: "Hey people!! Sorry it took so damn long to write part 4. I kinda have been busy. And I sort of lost interest. But then I decided to finish what I started and now I'm into it again! So be expecting chapter five soon! Excuse my grammar, as always. This is your SolidSnake1295, signing out."
P.s. I tried to do some bullet time scenes. Tell me if I failed.
