Snake walked through the door and ended up in an unguarded hallway.
Snake took a minute of rest before setting off again. He opened the door.
He was ended up outside. He appeared to be in some sort of makeshift
barracks. Tents were crowded with hundreds of guards! Snake wouldn't be
able to go this way, but it was the only way. Suddenly an alarm went off.
Snake looked around for cameras but saw none. Then a voice came over the
intercom.
"All soldiers in sectors B, C, and F, are ordered to make their way to the heliport. We have an intruder. That includes the barracks as well."
All of the soldiers grabbed their guns and went the opposite way of Snake. Only five remained patrolling the outdoor barracks. Snake crawled inside a tent and pulled out his M9. Snake took aim but stopped short. The man on the intercom said that there was another intruder, in the opposite direction Snake had come in. Snake would have to dismiss the thought for now. He took aim and fired a shot into the head of the guard. Nothing stood between him and the door now. Snake walked quietly to the door and went in. He walked into what appeared to be an armory. Assault rifles and other guns stood in racks on the wall. There was also some C4. Snake grabbed three C4's. The ammo seemed to be locked away in a mini room. Snake didn't have a level five card so he would have to ignore it for now. Snake had a choice of either entering the left or the right hand door. Snake was right handed so that was his first choice but then thought more about it. Snake finally decided to go right. He walked through the door to discover another empty hallway. Snake sat down and activated the Codec.
"Snake what is it?"
"General, what's this about another intruder?"
"Well, uh, I'm sorry Snake but..."
"You sent him in also didn't you."
"Well, we wanted to make sure this mission got done, so we sent him in to help."
"Help? So I'm still in charge here."
"Well actually, he's your superior."
"What!"
The General got off the Codec. Snake wasn't as in charge as he thought. He heard shambling steps coming down the hall. The door opened and Snake saw a man shot in the stomach. He wasn't a soldier though. He looked up at Snake.
"You're Snake right?"
"Ya, you must be my... superior."
"I guess so. Well they call me Javelin Crocodile."
"Alright Javelin, what are your... orders?"
"First hide me, they're looking everywhere for me."
Snake brought him to the left door. It turned out to be a storage room.
"How long ago were you dropped?"
"About an hour ago Snake, I'm guessing about the same as you?"
"Ya, why'd you get caught?"
"Wasn't my fault. I walked into a room and a guard was looking right at the door."
"Well, I guess you do what you can. The alarm stopped, I think we can get out of here now."
"Ya, ok." Javelin starts to follow Snake out.
"Hey I know you're in command, but I work alone."
"Snake I'm injured, I'll need your help to stay alive."
"Fine, but don't get me killed or slow me down... uh sir."
They walked into the empty hallway and through the door at the end.
Snake was pissed. No, beyond pissed, this guy may outrank him but was making excuses because he got spotted. Snake helped him to the door of the hallway. They walked in. Only one guard stood in their way of the door and he seemed a little occupied with his toilet. Snake aimed the M9 at his head and shot. The guard dropped immediately. Snake helped Javelin to the toilet. He sat by the toilet for a minute but did not puke. They walked into the next room. The only way forward seemed to be an air vent. An ignorant guard stood in front of it. Snake ran through the door and into the guard. He tackled the guard and chopped him in the neck knocking him out.
"Ok Javelin, all clear."
They crawled through the vent until they came to a grating. Two guards were down below talking. Snake decided to stop and listen.
"I hear Raven's looking for some new test subjects."
"Already, I thought the boss gave her a hundred volunteers?"
"Ya, all of her experiments have been failures lately. Either they're dying or developing mental and physical issues."
"So either they're dead or they become mindless brutes."
"Yep, pretty much. I heard she's starting to lose her mind."
Snake moved on. The vent went for about two hundred more feet before they came to an open vent.
"Sir, stay up here. I'll check it out down here."
Snake jumped to the floor below. He looked around and saw giant tubes holding what looked like people only malformed into brutish mutants. A single woman stood at her desk mixing something in a beaker. Snake walked closer and grabbed her by the shoulder spinning her around. She yelped and threw the mixture at the ground. A cloud of smoke arose from the smashed beaker. When the smoke cleared she was gone.
"Who are you intruder," asked a voice that seemed to come from everywhere?
"Who are you," Snake asked back?
"Me? I am Invisible Raven. I am MERC's genius scientist, but now I am much more than that."
"What do you mean?"
"My mixtures have made me an unstoppable force. Now answer my question, who are you?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Because I have you surrounded."
"How? You're in here alone."
"Oh no I'm not. Those creatures in the tubes aren't complete failures. They follow my orders and are very strong. Now tell me, who are you?"
"Fine. I'm Solid Snake."
"Ah, I've heard much of you. It is too bad I must kill you now. Taste flame Snake!"
A stream of flame erupted from the wall. Snake ducked out of the way just in time. A high-pitched laugh erupted from everywhere. Water spurted from a thousand different nozzles in the wall. It stopped at his knees. Snake trudged through the water. It suddenly dropped from sixty degrees Fahrenheit to negative twenty degrees Fahrenheit. Snake was wet and cold now. He was going to freeze if something wasn't done soon. Snake trudged to the thermostat and smashed it open. He turned it to sixty with no avail. She must have been controlling it from a master's position somewhere in the room. All he had to do was find her and kill her. Snake bounded over to a nearby ladder. At the top was an airtight seal. Snake pulled out a C4 and planted it on the seal. He dropped down and shivered in the water once more. He trudged away and pressed the detonation button and the seal exploded. Snake went to the ladder once more and climbed up into the room above. Two of the hulking mutants, green and blue colored stood before him. They wielded large metal rods seemingly armed with shockers. They charged Snake and Snake shot. His Socom went wild. Two bullets hit the one on the left in the chest. Another hit the one on the right in the head. It fell to the ground dead. But the one on the left seemed unphased. It kept charging and it hit Snake with the shock stick. Electricity flowed through Snake's body. Snake fell down and shot the mutant in the head, it died. Snake ran to the mutant. It had stolen a level two-security card. Snake took it and went through the door. Two armed cameras caught sight of him. Snake dove out of the way as they rained machine gun fire down on Snake. He shot both of them out and headed through the door. There she stood. She was beautiful, Snake had to give her that. She had long flowing blonde hair, blue eyes. And was wearing a black lab suit with blue jeans. She seemed somehow familiar. Snake aimed his Socom at her. She leapt at him with lightning fast speed. Snake rolled away. She was up as well. She started to kick at Snake. Her kicks were lightning fast. Snake counted thirty kicks to his stomach in just five seconds. Snake fell back. She dove at him again. Snake moved and she hit the wall. Snake put the gun on her head. He had her now.
"So you're Solid Snake?"
"Ya."
"Well I suppose you've got me. You got through both defense systems easily enough. I deserve to die."
"Who are you, really? Tell me about your life."
"Why?" "Just tell me." "My name is Renee Wolfcale. I graduated from Tennessee University. I married by high school sweetheart Ryan Mossfield. He died three years ago, I am a widow."
Snake pulled the trigger of his Socom. She dropped down dead. Snake lowered the gun and walked away. Such a waste of life Snake thought. She was only about twenty-seven. She still seemed somewhat familiar to him. She almost seemed to know him a little to well. The way she looked him over. Those eyes. Snake grabbed a level two-security card from her. Snake climbed back up to the vent and helped Javelin down.
"Was that Raven?"
"Ya, it was."
"What'd you do to her?"
"She's dead."
"Oh, ok."
They continued out through the level two door on the floor flooded with water.
That was chapter 2.
