Disclaimer: The only character I own is Kylie, and nothing more.
Thanks to all that reviewed, I will only post the next chapter if I get reviews. I hope you like it so far.
Kylie looked up to see what stopped the incoming blow, and who was yelling. She opened one eye and saw someone standing in front of her. She looked up and saw the man Liquid standing over her. Liquid was the leader of Fox hound. He spoke with a French accent and was very good at hand to hand combat. Kylie had been told that Liquid had a twin brother named Snake that was trying to stop the groups cause. Quite frankly, she didn't know nor care what that cause was to begin with. All she knew was that it involved her and that she was to get rid of anybody that stood in the way.
"This doesn't seem to be a good day for you, now does it Shadow." Liquid said, still standing over her. Liquid had given Kylie the code name Shadow when she first came to the group. He said it was because she would be specializing in stealth operations and had to go on seen, he was the only to call her that name though. By this time Kylie was standing at attention, trying not to look him in the eyes. "I suppose not sir." She replied. Liquid gave a snicker, pulled Ocelot over to the side and started talking to him. Kylie wasn't to sure about what was going on so she slipped off to the briefing room.
"There you are." Wolf said as she laid a map out in front of her. "Come, there is something I want to show you." Kylie walked over to the table. "Thanks for the sleeping pills last night." Kylie said. "No problem, it was good for both of us." Wolf replied as she scanned the map. "Here." Wolf pointed to a spot on the map marked with a red dot, "That is where they are storing Metal Gear." She said. Kylie examined the terrain around the dot. It was surrounded by cliffs and frozen water all the way around. A small path led to the back of the storage facility. "It makes sense." She said after looking over the map some more. "It's set on top a cliff which would take a while to scale and the water way around it is a sheet of ice at this time of the year." Wolf looked down at Kylie. "My, aren't we observant." Kylie glared at Wolf for a moment. "Not really, anybody with eyes could see the lay out of the terrain. If I wanted to be observant I would tell you that we have a limited number of ways of getting in." Wolf smirked at the comment and nodded. "Are you always this cocky in the morning?" She asked playfully as she drew a line from the facility to the compound. "You are right though, are entrances are limited." Wolf said. "There is an entrance through the waterway, but it wired to an alarm system, not to mention that the water is freezing. The back door is out of the question. It to obvious and there are a number of checkpoints to go through. The heliport on top would be are best bet so far." Wolf finished. Kylie looked at her like she was crazy. "Don't you think that landing a copter or whatever full of Foxhound troops will draw some unwanted attention. Besides where are we going to get an aircraft?" She pointed out. "Gurlugavich gave Liquid a Hind D as a present for getting a hold of Metal Gear." Wolf replied. "And what about the fact that the heliport is probably guarded?" Kylie questioned further. Wolf smiled. "We sent Decoy Octopus over as a spy awhile ago to check on how heavily guarded the place was. He should be back tomorrow." Kylie nodded. "Even if it isn't heavily guarded, won't it be difficult to sneak a Hind D onto the heliport?" Kylie asked, still not sure with the plan. "Not if we get enough of our own in first." Came a gruff voice from the door way. Kylie turned to see yet another member of Foxhound.
Vulcan Raven, a shaman from an Indian tribe some where in Alaska, was walking into the room. He had to turn to the side to fit through the doorway, his raven never leaving his shoulder unless told to. Vulcan was covered in tattoos that all had there own meaning. His weapon of choice reminded Kylie of an oversized Tomy gun. In some ways he was similar to Mantis. Raven taught Kylie how to 'communicate' with some of the animals near the compound. Raven, mantis, and Wolf were the closest thing to friends that Kylie had here, and she enjoyed their company, most of the time.
If we get enough of our troops into the storage facility to get rid of and replace the guards already there, we have a good chance of taking over the place." Raven was now completely in the room now, taking up a lot of space. "That is a good idea, but it all depends on how many soldiers there are at the facility." Wolf said she was now on the other side of the table, "We'll have to wait till Decoy gets back with his information." Raven nodded in understanding. He looked down at Kylie and then nodded to the bird on his shoulder. The bird flew over to Kylie and landed on her shoulder, earning him a gentle pet on the head. "Has Liquid said anything about it yet?" Kylie asked. Both comrades shook there heads 'no'. Kylie thought for a moment. "So I guess we wait till Octopus gets back with the info then." Wolf nodded and Kylie let out a sigh.
Decoy Octopus was another member of Foxhound. He was a master of disguise and could look like anybody he wanted. He took his job seriously, and sometimes would even drain the blood from some of the people he'd be impersonating, just to insert it into his own body. Kylie hadn't seen him before, or if she did he was in disguise. She didn't want to wait till he got back with the information. She was bored and wanted to get the operation started. Wolf saw the growing anticipation in Kylie's eyes. "If your bored Kylie, go get your rifle and we'll practice." Kylie looked up at Wolf and smiled. She loved to practice sniping and sneaking, and recently she had been getting better at it. "You have fifteen minutes to get ready. Meet me in the woods when you're down." Wolf said and then left.
Kylie ran back to her room to get ready. Once there, she grabbed some pentazime (stops you from shaking), and then put her hair up in a messy ponytail. It wasn't till she turned around to grab her gun did Kylie notice a long package lying on her cot. "Huh? What's this?" She looked at it and realized that it was addressed to her. She picked it up and searched for a return address but found none. "Hmm, I wonder who it's from." Kylie glanced at the clock. "Crap, only five minutes." She looked at the package 'later' she thought as she hid it under her cot before she grabbed her gun and dashed out the door.
Kylie stood at the edge of the woods and ducked behind a large tree. She had gone through drill before. Wolf used pellets during the drills, but she still took it seriously. Kylie flattened against the tree and strained her ears to hear anything out of the ordinary. There was no other sound except that of the birds and her own breathing. 'Damn, does she have to be so quiet?' Kylie thought as she tried focusing. The birds prevented this from happening so Kylie reached into her pocket and pulled out a compact case. She opened it to reveal a small mirror. 'Now let's see where you're at.' Kylie thought to herself as she angled the mirror to see behind her. She then picked up a rock and tossed it at a nearby tree. Thunk. As soon as the rock hit the tree Kylie scanned the area as fast as possible with the mirror. 'There' Wolf was in a tree a few feet away and had just turned to see what the sound was. Kylie ducked and crawled through the brush toward the tree. "Damn it." Kylie could hear Wolf curse under her breath and smiled to herself.
She was tired of getting hit even before she had time to step foot with in the boundaries. She had come up with the mirror trick a while back but never got a chance to practice it. Kylie was halfway to the tree when she heard Wolf move slightly. Kylie stopped and pulled her mirror out again with very little movement. She tilted it till she could see Wolf in her tree. It looked like she was talking to somebody. 'Her codec must have gone off.' Kylie told her self as she crawled to a nearby tree and flattened against it. 'I wonder who would call during a training session.' Kylie thought. She accessed her codec and set it to Wolf's frequency.
Kylie had been equipped with nanomachines when she was younger, before she came to the compound. She had gotten a codec the day after she left. She didn't like the fact that there where little machines in her body monitoring her at all times, but she eventually got use to it and soon taught herself how to access other peoples codecs when she got board.
-Click- (O=Ocelot W=Wolf)
O: Is the session over yet?
W: No, but it will be soon, she's a fast learner with a new trick.
O: Not surprising, she was born...
W: What's the matter?
O: Our conversation is being monitored.
'Crap! How did he know, did I do something wrong?' Kylie mentally kicked herself and crouched down again and waited to see if they continued talking.
W: Do you know who it is?
O: No. I don't want the girl to find out so I'm cutting off this transmission.
W: Right, ending transmission.

Ocelot ended the transmission and Wolf resumed her position in the tree. Kylie, by this time had made her way to the back of Wolfs hiding spot and was taking aim. A little red dot appeared and made its way to where Wolfs head would be if she sat up. Kylie purposely stepped on a twig making it snap, and making Wolf turn around, only to be hit in the forehead by a few pellets from Kylie's gun. Wolf smirked at the growing smile on Kylies face and jumped down from her position. "Good job Kylie." She said while messing up her hair. "I especially like your little distraction." Wolf finished. Kylie smiled again, "I thought you would." Wolf looked down at her watch. "You have 20 minutes before lunch, that time is yours." She said and walked off.
Kylie walked back to the barracks thinking about he codec conversation between Wolf and Ocelot. 'What were they talking about that they didn't want me to find out about? Ocelot said something about me being born. Did he know my real family?' The question continued to swim through Kylies head as she reached the barracks.
I end here. Review please. I will post the next chapter if you do. Promise.
