LAST TIME: After taking the card, Snake checked the guard's body for any life signs. "Hmm…dead." He said to him self after doing so then looked at his card. On it the number 1 was printed on it in a bold blue color.
'Pass codes? Rookie?' Snake though. "What the hell?'
Chapter 2: Chaos Undone
(141.12)
(CALLING!)
"Otacon, I've found a guard who was wounded…" Snake said, as he called Otacon on the codec.
"Wounded?" The Otaku said with suspicion.
"Yeah, he was attacked. Looks like a knife wound."
"Is he alright?"
"No…dead."
"First Ray….and now this?" summarized Hal. "What the…"
"He gave me a card key. I should be able to get to the lower levels with this." the mercenary said, whilst looking at the gray, transparent card key. "By the way, did you find anything else about this new Metal Gear?"
"No I'm still trying. Security is tougher than I thought."
"Alright, I'll head towards Metal Gear for now. Tell Raiden to keep his distance. If anything goes wrong…"
"I'll tell him."
(END)
Slowly Snake stood up leaving the guards body where it fell, and headed in to the numbered rooms to see what equipment he could obtain. However the only thing that he found useful was another box and some grenades. With nothing else that would be practical to use for the mission, the weary mercenary headed to wards some near by stairs heading towards the lower levels.
While carefully moving along the corridor, Snake had a thought "If Ocelot's here then he must know about the new Metal Gear? But if he's here for the it, then why hasn't he attacked the base already. He could of used the rail gun and opened this place like a tin of sardines by now. Unless…?"
But Snake's thought's where interrupted by the quick and sudden sound's of gun fire coming from the bottom of the stairs. Instinctively Snake griped his USP gun while his moving down.
"Get him out of there!" cried a mans voice from a distance. More gunfire was heard.
With his weapon raised, Snake slowly stepped down into a dark hall way which consisted of three doors. One was on the left, the other on the right and the last was straight a head. All there where levels that the card key could open.
Listening carefully, the NGO had to decided which door all the commotion was coming from. If he got it right, he'd might find out who killed that guard earlier and the rookie that he mentioned.
Echoes of faint screaming resonated through out the hall making it more difficult to decided. It was fainter on the right and mild in the middle. Could if be the left door?
The sound could be bouncing off the left door though, making it more louder.
The gunshot's where becoming less and less frequent. Snake new that if he didn't hurry up the killer would get away.
"My ears say left so I should go right!" Said Snake to him self impatiently. While moving to the left door and raising the gun as if someone was waiting behind it. His eyes wondered in all direction, looking for movement but there was nothing.
He realized then, that he was on a railing above the fight that was heard taking place.
Suddenly, the mild smell of iron filled Snakes nose as he looked down onto what seemed to be a cargo hold.
There were body's of US marines laying still in small pools of blood, all marked with knife wounds, some still had a blade or two impaled in their body.
It seemed that there where only two Marines left fighting for their lives.
"Where'd he go!" Called out a young blond man pointing his M16 in every direction. "Where is…?" But his word where cut short as a small silver blade flew straight into the guys head causing him to be thrown backwards to the ground. Dead.
More rounds where let off into several directions of the room by the remaining Marine. "No!" he cried as his comrade hit the floor. Now it was just him. His eye's looked tired and his face wrinkled with age. His hair was a strong, dark gray.
"What is that?" Thought Snake to him self, as he couldn't see the attacker.
Another set of rounds where let lose in to the room. "David get out of there now!" Called the Marine.
Snake hadn't noticed the young boy, who looked about eighteen, crouched in the corner hidden in some crates. He moved silently to the lower level and concealed him self behind the battle.
The grayed solider called once more "David…!" but he was greeted by a knock to the head. A mid air kick that left him motionless on the floor.
It was then, Snake saw the invisible killer.
Another young boy no older then the one hiding with in the creates, who beard scares all over his body with one that marked his face diagonally. He wore brown dungarees with a belt that consisted of small blades and two big knifes that had and hole for the index finger on the handle. His hair was short and platinum and his eyes were a cold blue.
He looked at the body of the grayed Marine with a sadistic smile of content while leaning his head to the side. Then slowly turned to the hiding boy solider.
As he did so Snake moved in closer, clutching his gun tightly while leaning against a large metal pillar screening him from view.
"This is a very foolish game you are playing…very foolish in deed." The scared teen said to the air in a cold, silky voice. "Do you think that you can hide there all day?" he continued. "Come now. I only want to have a civilized conversation with you."
Nothing moved, nothing moved at all. The only sound that Snake could hear was the scared teens foot step as he started to pace impatiently from left to right. Althougth, as he took a glimpse around the cold steel pillar he noticed that the youth wasn't pacing, he was prowling.
"Well, If you must behave this way, I'm afraid that I will have to take matter's into my own hands." The youth said after a short silence then raised his hands straight in front of him and moved them like he was parting some invisible curtains.
Then it happened instantaneously. The two creates that where shielding the young Marine had parted in the same way the scared teen had moved his hands, causing a loud sound of scarping metal that echoed through out the cargo holds.
"There, now. That's much better wouldn't you say?"
"Get away from me!" Shouted the young Marine while quickly aiming his rifle at the Scared teen, who remained calm and relaxed.
"My, my…Very hostile aren't we. Oh but where are my manners? I haven't introduced my self yet have I?"
Snake moved around more diving behind a large group of creates that seemed to have a short path leading to the side of the confrontation. Snake peered round to once more unable to glimpse the last Marine, then started to walk as silently, but quickly as possible. Fallowing the very tight lane, which ended up feeling like a metallic maze, Snake could still hear what was taking place between the two youths.
"They call me… Chaos. It is a pleasure to meet me I'm sure." The scared teen said composedly yet politely while bowing and wearing that same sadistic smile across his face.
"However…" He continued, "I'm afraid that I must cut this conversation short, since we're on a tight schedule."
Snake finally got into position.
"The Pass codes and the card key…if you please." Chaos requested, extending out his hand towards the young Marine.
Snake raised his USP and took aim.
"Well?" The scared teen said impatiently.
The Marine didn't answer.
"I said, Pass codes and key, NOW!"
A loud gun fire tore thru the air. The bullet shot toward the scared teen, but with a flash of silver was deflected away.
"You?" Chaos hissed at his attacker while holding one of the two knifes that stayed stationary by his side. "Craven?"
"You shouldn't be here, Chaos." Said a deep hansom voice. "Cipher isn't gonna like this."
Slowly, Snake lowered his unfired gun then sunk back into the shadows. "Now what?" He thought to him self while looking at the appearance of the third teen that had joined the commotion, who sort of reminded him of Ocelot.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Author's notes: Well I thought that the readers deserved a good chapter so there it was, I hope you liked it. As for the door thing with the sound echoing from left to right, I have no idea why that's there, I just seemed to fit and I wouldn't have it any other way. Chap 3 to come soon and, for all thought who are reading "Philanthropy", there will be an up date shortly.
I apologize again for this chapter being to late and promise that chap 3 won't be far behind.
Oh and if there's any spelling mistakes, just tell me and I'll correct then.
ALSO: Don't forget to review please, that's all I ask. Just one simple line will do. Even if it's "Like it" or "Hate it" will do.
