Metal Gear Solid: Patriot Trap,

Chapter One: The Beginning of the End

A siluet could be seen rising from a building in Manhattan infract the building was a hologram and the craft only a ripple but unlike the building the plane was very real it was the latest incarnation of Metal Gear. It rose swiftly and soon was no longer visible by the human eye, If you could see the craft you would see the main wings retract and the ship accelerate incredibly fast it reached the outer parts of the ionosphere in a matter of minuets and was in true outer space in a few minuets more. The vessel became visible then it was metallic black on the backdrop of space it looked like a siluet passing by. A large bay in the bottom of the ship opened up and extended a large platform almost the size of the bay but if one looked more closely you would see that underneath there was a crosshatching of components and circuits all covered by a 3 inch thick plastic covering soon the bottom of the panel glowed a bright red and after a minuet it shut back down, to the average observer it looked like nothing happened but to the pilot it was one of the biggest events the world would ever see the effects were obvious as he came back down to the heavy drag of earth's gravity. The wings of the vessel extended again as it flew down to the hangar which was no longer covered by a building holographic or otherwise. The pilot shut the aircraft down and walked down the ladder that had been run over to him. Ottocon ran to the pilot and said, "Mission Complete Snake everything without shielding is down the country is in disarray the president is about to declare martial law we are going to win!" Snake took off his helmet and air mask to revile the grizzled features of none other of the legendary man savior of the world more times than he could count and now for the first time he deserved the title he already had. Snake nodded, "Yeah we will win but at what cost Ottocon? At what cost?"

Jack was having a good day he had slept well last night and was having a day with Rose and the baby; they had named him David for Snake. He had been speechless when informed of the news almost a year ago he and Triska sat playing together. Triska wasn't their daughter by birth but Olga's child that they had adopted Snake and jack had rescued him from the patriots over a year ago. Jack had grown much since the big shell he had his own identity back his freedom he still had nightmares from his childhood of what that mechanized cornel had told him. Even those were diminishing he had found a stable job as a military advisor for a TV show it had been running for 2 years now and was supposed to go on for another 6. Jack still went on missions with Snake whenever he could and whenever a mission came up but lately David had been quiet and hadn't called him lately he would have to call them sometime soon. That's when he heard the scream he was upstairs getting a diaper for the baby. Rose gave a blood curdling scream. Jack ran downstairs to see men in uniforms man handling rose towards the front door he ran back upstairs and grabbed his SOCOM and loaded it swiftly he came back down the stairs and one of the men saw him. "You put the gun…" the man was cut off by a bullet that went through his larynx he choked as he fell to the floor. By this time the others had drawn weapons, Jack took one out with a bullet to the head another to the heart but one had an automatic weapon and fired a few rounds into jack he dodged behind a wall for cover but got hit in the stomach 2 times. He turned and fired his clip dry at the man who fell to his knees but two other men had grabbed rose and the children and were screeching away in a black van with no license plate jack shot at it a few times but it was armored and he didn't want to chance hitting anyone he cared for. He dropped his gun in despair and soon he fell to the floor unconscious due to the damage in his abdomen.

He awoke an hour later to a ringing phone his wounds were still bad but they had healed up partially so he was no longer bleeding he picked up the cell phone and pushed talk, "Hello?" A voice heavily distorted was on the other end, "Hello Riden we have them and you will cooperate or they will die a most slow and painful death!" Jack was angry and stood up, "Who the hell is this? If you touch one hair on her head ill kill you!" The voice laughed at him, "Kill me? You couldn't even find me! Besides even if you could which you can't the minuet you would show up they would die. So you see there's really no other choice!" Jack clinched his teeth tears running down his face, "What do you want me to do?" The voice said, "Why that's easy, kill Solid Snake. Instructions will follow." Then the line was dropped. Jack went inside to get some medical supplies and heal himself but he had no idea why this had happened, he tried to turn on the computer but nothing happened, he tried to turn on a light and nothing happened all throughout the world people were doing the same thing and realizing that their lives as they knew them were over.
