He sat in his cell thinking of what needed to be done to escape, but no options presented themselves, and Otacon couldn't help because they pulled his codec when he was captured, the worst part is they think he was in collusion with Revolver Ocelot, how many times has he gone against him, saved the world from him, but that doesn't matter to the American government, he out lived his purpose, he has been replaced by the man he once saved, after the Big Shell operation He thought that Raiden would have left FOXHound and help stop the Metal Gear Project from coming into full fruition, but threw that mission he became a top agent within the organization and is now Colonel Campbell's best agent, much like he was in his younger years.

"They'll find someone to replace him one day too"

"Yes Snake but he doesn't know that, just like you didn't"

Snake looked up from the floor and saw none other than Colonel Campbell standing there in his full military uniform; sometimes he thought that was all he ever wore.

"What do you want?"

"Just to talk Snake, what we can't do that anymore?"

"Colonel since Shadow Moses all you have done is chase after me, I'm one of America's most wanted, so if I have trouble believing that you just want to talk to me you can understand where I'm coming from"

The Colonel just snickered and sat on a chair opposite the bed.

"Yeah our past since Shadow Moses has been a little rocky but I'm here to give you a chance to clear your name and live the rest of your life in the most normal way you can"

Snake looked right into the Colonel's eyes with a burning hatred he wanted to kill him right there but he knew the guards outside would hear it and rush in to kill him.

"What is your "Chance" that you are offering me?"

"Snake we want you to help transport the new Metal Gear to the new military installation that will house the MGTS, as long as the unit gets there without a problem you will be cleared from all charges and be let free"

"So you want me to help safeguard the one thing that for most of my life I have been trying to destroy"

"That's correct Snake but you will be let free, think of it as payback for all the U.S. taxpayer's money you have burned over the years with your little antics against the Metal Gear Project"

"I only did that to save the world"

"You are considered a terrorist to the people and a threat to national security, if you don't take this mission you will never see the light of day again do you understand me?"

"Yes Colonel, give me some time to think about it"

Campbell stood up bowed his head and left the cell, five minutes later another uniformed soldier came in, some grunt he supposed.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing Mr. Snake just taking you to the mess hall for some grub with the rest of the prisoners"

Snake stood up and exited the cell, three guards flanked him one on either side and one behind him guns drawn ready to shoot if he made any sudden lethal moves.

"Who else is there if you don't mind me asking"

The guards kept walking

"Just some other people who have tried over the past year to go against America you might know some of them"

They all laughed

"Its not a club"

"No but we know you will at least know one or two of them"

They all laughed again and went into the mess hall, the room had about fifteen to twenty other people sitting in random seats around the hall, all eating something that was past off to be food of some kind.

"Find a spot Mr. Snake and sit"

He looked around and the guards were right he did recognize one of the other inmates, Revolver Ocelot.

"Great he's here this will help everything"

Snake found a spot that had no one else sitting around and sat down food showed up about a minute later it looked like meatloaf and mash potatoes but he knew it was probably some reconstituted slop that would make him puked for hours.

"Oh well better than nothing"

"May I sit here?"

The voice was Russian the only one he knew that would talk to him in here even if it was to threaten his life was Ocelot, he would have to deal with him soon.

"What do you want?"

"Like the Colonel said, just to talk"

Snake looked up from his plate.

"You heard the conversation?"

"My dear brother I hear everything"

That was the voice of his twin brother Liquid Snake.

"So Ocelot you still having problems keeping him in check huh?"

"Yes but it is easier to deal with now I can now control him enough where he can't take over my body anymore"

"Well that's good I'm happy for you two"

Ocelot laughed

"Always with the wit, you know I went back a long way with your family, you know that Snake?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well I was Liquid's partner at Shadow Moses, but I also knew your father from a long time ago"

"How?"

"When I was over in Russia during the 60's your father and I met on the battlefield I was involved in the operation code named Snake Eater, I was supposed to be your father's contact but instead another agent named EVA met him first, for the rest of the mission I would constantly run into your father, remember out encounter at Shadow Moses when you found the president of Armstech and we dueled?"

"All too well Ocelot but I also remember that is when you lost your hand"

"A price to pay for something you believe in, anyway your father and I dueled much like you and I did you are so much like your father it is chilling, how you talk, how you act, how you fight, after he was awarded the title of Big Boss after Mission Snake Eater we ran into each other in America and he recruited me to join FOXHound a special forces group that we both were affiliated with, you never saw me but I always kept my eye on you even after your father died, I was happy to find out that you were the man sent into Shadow Moses I could finally see how you had grown, to see if you were exactly like your father, to see if the Les Enfantes Terribles project was a success"

"But why did FOXHound commit an act of treason against America back on Shadow Moses?"

"Its what we told you on Shadow Moses, we wanted the remains of Big Boss so we could find the correct genetic code to help with the FoxDie vaccine but they never agreed to terms, and the rest is history"

"Why didn't you just get help threw the system when you were part of FoxDie?"

"Because big brother…"

Again it was Liquid

"…They would have never agreed to it, there was a reason they programmed us with the FoxDie Virus, they knew that Big Boss was going to be a threat even before he went to Outer Heaven and when they did the project they yes wanted the perfect soldier which was your father but they didn't want his off spring to go AWOL too"

"So why is it that you died?"

"My genes recognized that I had gone AWOL albeit a little late and executed the FoxDie virus, you on the other hand technically never went AWOL you have always done the right thing, you see big brother your genes, your soul, YOU know when you are doing the right thing, I on the other hand was not, do you see how it works?"

"Yeah but why are you telling me all of this?"

Ocelot was back.

"Because we can escape this place"

Snake laughed

"How?"

"I have a plan that is already in motion"

"I'm not helping you steal another Metal Gear"

"No Snake we are not asking you to do that, but one day we will help each other much like your father and I did that is all, trust me you will find it to be the right thing when the time comes"

Snake looked back down at the plate, he hadn't touched a single thing.

"What are we going to do?"
