Chapter 7 of MGS Fanfiction
Return to the Origin
written by Gray Fox
Snake woke up unexpectedly earlier than usual. Meryl moved her arm away from Dave and turned over still soundly sleeping. He heard a faint ring from the other room. The ringing continued for awhile until it came to a complete silence.
Dave just flopped down and tried to go back to sleep. The honeymoon had been a blast and the loving couple has been able to finally relax from work for once in years. Those sleepy eyes slowy shut back going back to sleep.
The consistant ringing began again. Snake snapped straight up and forced himself towards the annoyance. He found it to come from the kitchen and stomped grumpily towards it.
David quickly picked up the phone with a snap.
"WHAT!"
"WOAH! Snake Calm Down.. This is Otacon."
"This better be urgent Otacon! This is my honeymoon you know", Snake spat.
"Snake we have an urgent problem. I've finally cracked that disk and that you got from The Big Shell. It seems as though the patriots are more than just leaders of the United States. Their leaders of the world and the twelve members have origins from the larger countries like Russia, China, Japan..."
"I GET the message! Just tell me straight facts here"
"Fine fine... We're finding about a new Metal Gear project that will change the world. It seems that the Big Shell was nothing more than a distraction to build a new type of metal gear. This one seems more of a threat than anything we have faced before Snake!"
"Go on.." Dave now suddenly interested propping himself on the counter.
"Snake..We have located their whereabouts through the diskette. Their located in a hostile jungle base in southern Asia. Now the only way to avoid detection is through a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) parachute jump. You'll have to jump at 30,000 feet and freefall about two minutes until you reach 2000 feet and open your canopy..."
"I never said I would accept this mission. You have to remember I'm smack dab in the middle of my damn honeymoon."
"But your the only one that can and you have too. Our trackings on Liquids Ray have lead us to the same spot as the diskette has shown us..."
"Liquid!!" Snake spat almost immediately "So..They didn't give him a bogus location. I guess he was right after all about knowing their whereabouts."
"Yeah it seems so.. Anyway we need you to check it out. You'll have two mission objectives: First infiltrate the hostile jungle area, and secondly we need you to find out about this new Metal Gear and eliminate the threat. We're not exactly sure on the whereabouts of the base and it's only tactically smart to drop you on the outskirts of the area which is around five to ten miles away. You'll only be equipped with a knife because your gonna want to use speed as your ally."
"Hate to break it too you but remember that I'm not a big fan of blades."
"Would you rather to go in a terrorist infested jungle empty handed?" Otacon sounding almost aggrivated with Snake's smart remark.
"... When do we leave to go on thing?"
"Immediately! I also hate to break it to you but there is no 'we', you'll be going in alone. No Meryl on this one Dave."
"What about the equipment? Where exactly do I come up with my camo at a time like this?"
Snake was broken up on having to leave on his own honeymoon. Otacon wouldn't have called him unless it was important and personal like this mission. It was understood what had to be done. He had his objectives but he also had his own. Which was to finish off his brother Liquid for all the pain and misery he had caused.
"You'll get your equipment on the plane there. I advise you use your little remaining time with Meryl and explain what's happening."
"Okay man.. Just have me a ride to where ever I need to be."
"Max will take you to our private airfield about five miles from there. You'll load on a B-52 bomber and it will transport you to your objective. Snake.. Good Luck."
He hung up the phone with a deep sigh. How would Meryl take the news that Snake would be dropped into somewhere in southern Asia and in the middle of some jungle alone?
She walked into the room with a yawn scratching her head.
"You got the coffee ready?" She yawned once more, "Whats the matter?"
"I've got some news for you, and I'm not sure how your gonna take it."
They both sat down and reviewed the conversation and the links to the situation. Somehow it seemed to good to be true for just two solid weeks of vacation.
The doorbell rang and Max was urgently waiting for Snake to get going.
He was hesitant to just leave Meryl behind but she nodded and kissed him goodbye. Max handed Snake a laptop with Otacon on the line and handed Meryl a phone with Mei Ling on the line further expaining the situation. Meryl would return back to Philanthropy to monitor Snake on the screens and through transmissions.
Snake was in for a ride and was headed unexpectadley Back to the Origin.
