Session IV - Survival of the Fittest
------------------------------------------------
A soldier flew into an large storage room with a blood trail following him to the floor. A variety of gun shots were heard, echoing throughout the storage room. Immediately, a rebirth of silence was brought. Gentle foot steps became louder and louder until a figure walked out of the bloody hallways in which the soldiers flew out of. A pale man with long raven hair walked out. He wore black pants with a matching trenchcoat. The coat was opend to reveal his bare scarred and bloody chest. While making his way into the new scenary, the man licked the blood off the surroundings of his cold lips, within that instant, he revealed his fangs.
Freight and a large collection of ammunition resided inside the sotrage room with a few ratios that summoned rodents from the outside world. There was an open area at the center of the room to allow easy access for cranes to collect the materials. The windows that were created to allow sunshine, were covered in frost, so light was taken from the old rusted laps that swung from the ceilings.
"Cast an ease on your movements, intruder..." Eagle's voice echoed through the lone room.
"..." The raven-haired man continued his path without hesitation.
The gentleman, Eagle, walked out from behind a large crate. "... Cast an ease on your movements, or face the consequences of an Eagle's claw, sir."
"Do not force me to devour your spirit, so move aside..." The pale man spoke in a slight foreign accent.
Another image of Eagle appeared behind the pale man. "What is your name? I truly feel acquainted with your elegant style..."
"If you must know the vision of death; I am noted as Vamp."
"The insignia of a bat..." The Eagle in front of the raven haired man fixed his top hat in an interested manner. "That whom walks amoung the creatures of the night, but yet, I am interested of such creature doing with governmental affairs."
"Every man lives without a leader, conciously. To survive, an individual must rely on him or herself for advantage over everyoen else..."
"I agree with you... Judging from your words, you are here for a similar achivement as I do, myself..."
"Whatever that may be..."
"But, again, you have prohibited access to this area, so I must kindly ask you to retreat."
"My thirst is still not satisfied..."
"Then, allow my soul to feed you..." In a blink of an eye, over fifty Shade Eagles appeared around Vamp, "... that is if you can defeat all of us..."
Vamp took no hesitation to twirl around, as he did, small daggers were launched to the copies. As the daggers flew through the copies without a harm, the Eagle's pulled out their canes. Vamp took a different approach, this time, he decided to attack each copy one-by-one, but before the pale man could come close to its enemy, his shoulder's flesh slightly popped . Vamp simply took a step back, without wincing nor portraying a sign of pain.
"I admire your will power, Vamp." One of the Eagles took a step forward as he praised.
"You may be the first life vessel whom has survived my skill. I consider you a true gentleman."
As Eagle bowed in respect, Vamp took the opportunity to jumped at Eagle. One of the Eagles rose its palm at the pale man, causing Vamp's forehead wound, from a previous gun shot, to open. The shock was enough to throw the pale man against his back, with his own blood drops raining upon him. Again, Vamp showed no image of pain nor affect to the strike.
A copy of Shade Eagle approached Vamp with a smirk. "You may be undead, but unlike you, I am a God.
I can eliminate anyhting that comes against my path... as for a God, I cannot experience death..."
A sea gull immediately broke the climax of Shade Eagle's speech. The scavenger bird landed ontop of Eagle's cane. "You are needed at the operational room! Our boss has re-arranged the schedule to our mission!" The bird released his companion's tone and speech. "So finish off the intruder and hurry up! Gyaah!" The sea bird flew off immediately taking an exit hall.
"Fortune may be at your side today, Vamp, as well as my mood to grant you mercy, only because you have deserve it as a gentleman." All the Eagle copies, except for one vanished immediately. "I shall take my orders, so if you manage to reach our station, let us deal our differences like gentlemen: in a duel." Eagle, immediately took his exit.
"... Playing like a Snake have caused my mission to be pushed to an easier degree..." Vamp stood up while analyzing an ID card with Shade Eagle's information as he whispered. "...Mr. Silverburgh..."
"Otacon... Otacon can you hear me?" Solid leaned against a wall while pressing his middle and index finger against his right ear.
"Why are you contacting your collegue? We are have not fallen into any problems." Solidus leaned against the opposite wall holding his weapon with one hand.
"Somehow, Otacon manages to provide relied information during my missions to create a successful completion." Solid drew his attention from the ground to Solidus.
"Hmph, can you not rely on your own instincts?"
"When I do, I lose someone... I manage to leave the intellectual thinking to those whom carry the brains."
"Unless we are dealing with computers, I may consider asking for assistance, which I won't, but we will be needing soldier power, not of a strategist."
"... I have still need to inform him of my arrival. I couldn't do that because of the blizzard outside."
"Make it quick! We do not know the true abilities of these 'Phantoms' so they may be tracking down the signal."
"Dammit! No response..."
"Forget it, we need to continue forth." Solidus turned at the corner approaching a pair of sliding doors.
"Alright..." Solid followed immediately.
Both Snakes made it through the sliding doors with their weapons held tightly at their grips. After a few steps taken inside, both current companions eased their movements at a realization of being surrounded by a sort of inner junkyard. Various scraps of metal, circuits, and other materials that seemed unknown at a quick glance surrounded the entire area.
"... What the hell...?" Snake mumbled while analyzing the junk with curiousity.
"Hm... Interesting..." Solidus walked to a different direction.
"Why would someone want a junkyard inside?"
"Maybe because these things carry too much of a significance to allow them to lay anywhere..."
"What do you mean?" Snake turned in question.
"See for yourself..." Solidus moved away froma mountain of scraps to reveal a large gray plate and green plate that seperately read through its rusted and faded structure: "RAY" and "REX".
