Snake opens the door to the communication towers moves through the hall and through a door that triggers a problem. Snake goes through the door that on the sides has sensors that triggered the alarm. Snake runs up the stairs its no use. He is constanly followed by gunf ire all the way up to the top. He takes care of the remining gaurds and proceeds to the top of communications tower A's connection bridge to the communication tower B. but is stopped by the sound of rutars. Looking around snake reliazes it a helicopter a hind D. finally the hind appears and shoots missles toward the communication towers and destorys it. Snake realizes who it is. The terroist leader liquid snake.

Snake:Damn!

Liquid: snaaaaake I cant let you past here.

Snake:liquid?

Liquid: youre not going any farther… DIE!

Snake: it's a long way down only if I had a rope. I should be able to use the rope I got.

Liquid: what are you going to do? Take a hind on with your bare hands? Now youre mine!

Snake:if I stay here, im finished

( snake uses his rope rappel down the side of the tower under fire of the hind D but makes it down safley and is ambushed from 3 enemy but takes them out and procceds in to communications tower B. then proceeds down the tower but finds that the stairs have been destroyed and goes back up tp the elevator. But is disturbed by a loud bang.)

snake pulls out his gun to the ready and looks around the corner to find nothing all of a sudden he hears a familiar voice.

: don't shoot. It's me don't shoot. Its me snake…

Snake: otacon? Howd you get here?

Otacon: it wasn't as dramatic as your entrance, belive me. Im afraid of heights.

Snake: you were watching?

Otacon: yea I was watching, I was in the back of their truck…thanks to the stealth camoflauge.

Snake: how did you get up here?

Otacon: the elavator of course.

Snake: the first floor of the circular stair case was destroyed.

Otacon: that's why I took the elevator.

Snake: the elevator was working?

Otacon: yea that's right, your incredible. Like a movie hero or some thing.

Snake: no… youre wrong…. In the movies… the hero always saves the girl…

Otacon: you mean meryl?…. sorry forget I said any thing. Snake… theres some thing I've really got to ask you. Its why I followed you up so far… have you… ever loved some one?

Snake: that's what you came to ask?….

Otacon: no I mean…I … I was wondering if even soldier fall in love?

Snake: what are you trying to say?

Otacon: I wanna ask you if love can love bloom… even on a battle field?

Snake: yea…I do. I think at any time any place , people can fall in love with each other. But… if you love some one you have to be able to protect them….

Otacon: I think so to…

Snake: I have a favor to ask…

Otacon: uh oh…

Snake: don't worry it'll be easy.

Otacon: I told you before… I wont hurt any one.

Snake: I don't want you to either.

Otacon: okay….

( snake instucts otacon that the elevator is broken and he needs him to reapair it.)

ocelot leaves once again snake is alone. He thinks about otacons question. Did he really love meryl or did he just have a little flur for her that died. That couldn't be it. He still had feelings for her that wouldn't fade they just got stronger. He hasn't always belived in love on a battle field. But meryls love changed his mind. Now completing this misson isnt just about saving the world form a nuclear war but to save meryl. Or if that the worst scenario comes to reality he hopes that she will be smiling st him from above. He was now determined to survive. To save the world and meryl for him the colonel and meryl. He proceeded to the top of the tower to "swat" the annoying fly in a hind liquid is waiting for him which to snake isnt much of a surprise.

Liquid: so the snake has come out of his hole. So are you ready now… my brother?

Snake:why are you calling me brother? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!

Liquid: IM YOU. IM YOUR SHADOW!

Snake: WHAT!

Liquid: ASK THE FATHER THAT YOU KILLED! ILL END YOU TO HELL TO MEET HIM!

(Snake battles liquid to the bitter end)

now fighting to keep the hind stablized he screams

Liquid: COME ON FLY! DAMN SNAAAAKE!

As the hind falls from the sky snake pats himself on the back surving yet another battle…especially with a hind D. all of a sudden a fire ball from the explosion appears behind.

Snake: see you in hell liquid… that takes care of the cremation.

Once again snake makes his way back down to the elevator and odd enough it is working again. Snake enters the elevator and goes down to the first floor but is interupted by a codec call
