Chapter 8: The Clock Is Ticking
Snake began to slowly paddle through the lake with the crocodile hat covering his head. He didn't need to come up for air, because there was a small pipe hooked to Snake's mouth through the nose of the hat. His mind was full of thoughts. Meryl, his only love, was in the plain, his father Big Boss might still be alive, and he only had 70 hours left from stopping the Genesis Project. Suddenly bullets began flying through the water right by Snake. He began swimming faster and faster until he made it to the shore. The bullets continued flying by him. Snake was now on the grounds of the compound, but he needed some cover. Diving behind a fallen over tree on the small island, Snake laid there still, waiting for his predator to reveal themselves.
Voice: You can't always win Snake. The boss tells me your one of the best around here, just like he was back in the day.
The man walked right passed Solid Snake. Snake leaped to his feet, with the barrel of his gun pointed directly at the head of his enemy.
Snake: Identify yourself.
Man: I'm the one that tried to shoot you down off of the helicopter.
Snake: That was a woman!?
Man: I can make quite good disguises huh? It was just bait to lure you in. By the way, you can call me King Cobra!
King Cobra turned his head. He had blue hair slicked back into a ponytail, and a clean shaven face. He was about 6 foot and 200 lbs. of pure muscle.
King: Snake, let's make this fight man to man. No guns or bombs, just our bare hands.
Cobra leaped into the air and nailed Snake in the face with a super kick. He jumped on top of Snake and started pounding into his face. King backed off of Snake. He was laughing as Snake slowly stood to his feet. Snake's nose was bleeding.
King: There's a reason why Cobras are King of all snakes. Solid Snake, today you will breathe your final breathe.
Cobra dove into the air with a backflip and ran off into the jungle. Snake staggered up so that he could sit down on the tree. He wiped the blood from his face. "I've got to continue on with this mission. I've got to save Meryl!" Snake thought to himself. Time was running shorter and shorted. Only 70 hours remained until the end. The codec rang.
Snake: This is Snake.
Big Boss: My son. It's been a while!
Snake: Who is this?
Big Boss: Have you already forgotten me? Snake, you know who I am! I made you the soldier that you are now!
Snake: Big Boss, but I killed you!
Big Boss: Ah, so you do remember me. You think you killed me, but you didn't! The Patriots have been running a top secret, high security project. They tried to make me there pawn, but it didn't work!. Snake I saw you earlier today on that plane, and I must say, you look impressive! Why, you're the spitting image of me!
Snake: But you're well over 80 years old!
Big Boss: I might be over 80 years old, but I still have what it takes! State of the line, cutting edge, DNA technology, gave me a whole new body. I've got the body of a 30 year old, and I even have both of my eyes! Snake, the Patriots think they have control of me, but they don't! They think I will help them, but my plan is kill them all!
Snake: But, you can't do that alone!
Big Boss: You're right, but with you and Liquid at my side, we can put an end to the Patriots! The 3 best soldiers to ever walk on the face of this earth will put an end to this misery!
~Flashback~
Snake stood there watching the battle between Solidus and Raiden on top of Liberty hall. Solidus took a deep breathe.
Solidus: And we will be called, Sons of Liberty!
~End of Flashback~
Snake: What the hell's going on around here.
Big Boss: Don't worry about that right now. I want you to think about my offer, son.
Big Boss, exited the Codec. Snake thought to himself, "This can't be my father, no, not the Big Boss that I know and hate. How could he be here? I killed him years ago!" Snake withdrew his key card to enter the compound. "This place is rather small," Snake thought to himself. "I've got to find Dr. Naomi. I've got to stop Metal Gear. But most important, I must save Meryl." Snake came to a small chamber where he found Naomi.
Naomi: Snake! You're finally here!
Snake: What is this place?
Naomi: It's a small prison here on top.
Snake: What do you mean, here on top?
Naomi: This place is just a place for the Patriots to put their useless prisoners, like myself. Deep down, under our feet, lies the lab where all the experiments take place.
Snake: What kind of experiments?
Naomi: You're father has been experimented on here for years. It all started 6 years ago. Snake, you're father was revived back to life. Big Boss took on the name, George Sears. His plan was to rebuild Outer Heaven at Shadow Moses but the plan failed. After the exposure of Metal Gear REX and the Genome Army, he fell out of office as president. His revival didn't last too long though. He began having hart failures, so he had to stay in that exoskeleton to keep him alive. His skills we're weak though.
Snake: So you're telling me that my father is also Solidus Snake?
Naomi: Well in a way yes.
Snake: But Liquid says that he and I were the only two survivors of the "Les Efants Terrible" project. Well, you guys we're the only survivors of his clones, but using DNA and cutting edge technology, the Patriots we're able to take your fathers brain into a small chip and add it to an ordinary civilian. That ordinary civilian was George Sears in his early thirties. Big Boss's mind slowly began to take over George Sears, and by the time you killed Big Boss, the chip had completely taken over George Sears.
End of Chapter. The next chapter is going to be mostly explaining about Big Boss, Grey Fox, and Solidus. Expect some huge action to pick up in chapter 9!
