Session II - Caged Snakes
------------------------------------------------
Gradually, sight was acomplished only to find himself in cell. Snaked rested on his back against the cold metal floor. The area was barely clinging to the little light it had on its posession. Snake did nothing, simply remembering the events outside. Silence was not completely accomplished do to water drops echoing when contact with the metal floor. Finally, Snake decided to sit up with a groan of pain.
"So the new arrival awakes...?" A man from a neighboring cell spoke.
"Uh..." Snake finally rose up to his feet, but leaned against the rusted bars.
The neighboring man continued to speak. "Careful now, you will need your energy for more imporant things: Wait until the U.S. Forces come to save us, brainstorm on an escape plan, or wait until the Phantoms come and try to negotiate with them, of course, they will tourture you."
"...The Phantoms...?" Snake questioned while attempting to search through the cells in front of him.
"Yes! Those people who decided to make a fool out of me!" Snake could hear a familiar voice originating from the other neighboring cage.
"Well, one brought you here, so unless they knocked you out without you noticing, then you may not know. Since there is nothing else to do, it will hep for you to know whom brought you to death. The one who locked you in here is known as Shield Condor, because of his high defensive and offensive power. There is no projectile out in the world, yet, that can prenetrate its flesh, but not only that, he is also capable of deflecting some of the attacks. There is Shade Eagle, as well, he is like a God, because from the fact that he can multiply himself into infinite copies, he can never get touched nor harmed, but what makes him deadlier is that he can blow off body parts with a blink of an eye. The least, deadliest, in my opinion, would be Swarm Seagull, because he specializes in manipulating sea gulls at any disposal, as well as forcing the poor birds to travel into this freezing continent for him. Finally, the beauty of chaos, Psyche Raven, she is capable of seeing everything that goes around this place as well as a mistress of the machine gun...I think she knows we are talking about her..." The right neighboring man explained.
"From what I saw, I can take a wild guess and say that Psyche Raven is the leader?" Snake asked.
"In fact, you are wrong. When I arrived, I managed to inflitrate their computers, which explains as to how I know the Phantoms' specialties, and heard a man give orders to the Phantoms. They all addressed him as Liquid Gear." The man spoke as to be drifting away and returning, since he was pacing about.
"That is the man responsible for all of this." The neighbor at Snake's left spoke once again.
"...Liquid...Gear...?" Snake whispered to himself.
Suddenly, a long silence was brought. Just a small sound, hard to identify but an understanding of silence was taking residence at the surroundings. A gasp was heard; a search for oxygen, a preading for mercy after a gun shot was heard. Snake's head hanged low, immediately understanding that one of the Phantoms had silenced him for revealing information. How did the Phantoms managed to cats death without an apperance was a mystery, but then yet again, he had seen it all. The only thing Snake did was feel a strong hatred to his mind, mostly because of the memories of the defenseless and innocent souls taken away at his sight.
"That's it! We are just sitting ducks here." The surviving neighbor slammed his fists on the metallic floor before getting close to the bars.
"What do you have in plan...?" Snake approached the neighboring cell.
"I would not normally do this since my last backstab, bit I am smart, and you should be too, that we will not be able to confront the Phantoms without our weaponry nor with simple stealth."
"What are your plans?" Snake questioned.
"Work together..."
"You sound mature enough to not get in the way."
"My words exactly."
"So what do you advise in us doing first? We cannot do much caged and yet, empty handed."
"First, I must know the name of the man I will be fightning along side with..."
"...I have no name..."
"We share a common scar. I to have no name, but a rank that was once feared."
Snake smirked and responded sarcastically. "Oh really?"
"You may address me as Solidus Snake..."
