Chapter 8: Explanations of the old world.
Albedo: What was that! I thought you were just a mere human!
Margulis: That was rather interesting. But judging by your face, even you don't know what you just did.
Liquid: I wonder…
He makes his hands into fists and puts them in from of himself. He concentrates and soon his fists begin being engulfed in flames.
Liquid: Hmph. No pain. How did this happen?
Albedo: I thought I heard you say something after your little 'trick'.
Liquid: Ah, yes… The Wave Existence…
Margulis: What is that?
He asks, as he approaches Liquid to listen better.
Liquid: I'm not sure. It just came to mind. Perhaps I'll remember later. In the mean time, I have nothing to complain about. These new 'talents' will surely come in handy. Mmmm… I wonder if Snake got these as well… What! Oh no! Arrgghhh!
Liquid grabs his head in pain. He could feel Ocelot trying to take over.
Liquid: Trust… me… Ocelot! You don't… want to take over!
Margulis: What's wrong? What's happening?
Albedo: Wow, he's not having fun! Heeeeh heh heh haa!
Liquid: Do you want to see… where… we are!
Liquid looks at Albedo to show Ocelot that they weren't in Kansas anymore. Ocelot immediately stops trying to regain his body.
Margulis: What just happened?
Liquid: I haven't told you everything. This body isn't mine.
Albedo: How is that?
Liquid: I'm getting to that! Don't interrupt!
Albedo: Sheesh! somebody's on his 'days'. Ha ha haa!
Liquid: Right… Anyway, this body belongs to a man called Revolver Ocelot. He worked for me, or so he pretended to, back then during the Shadow Moses incident. I'll skip the details, but he got his hand severed back then. Since I knew he could be a traitor, I quickly made preparations so that if he received a hand transplant, something just recently achievable in my time, it would be mine's. That, of course, would be in the case of my demise. I prepared it so that all the nano machines in my body, which had digitized my memories and kept recording everything I experienced, would be placed in the arm. After the transplant, the nano machines would spread into the blood stream until reaching the brain. There, the nano machines would then start recording my memories into his brain, hence, allowing me to take over. This was all very advanced technology.
Margulis: That's quite interesting. You're just full of surprises.
: Arrghhh! I hate you!
It is a guard. He lifts his rifle and begins firing furiously at Liquid. All the bullets swerve away from him. Some impact Albedo, but he quickly regenerates the damage.
Albedo: Wow, somebody's pissed. Heh heh heeh!
Margulis: What is the meaning of this!
Guard: One of the guards he killed was my brother! I just saw his body being dragged away as if he were garbage!
Margulis: I will not tolerate this!
He reaches for his sword, but grabs nothing but air.
Margulis: Crap, I left it over there. Uhg, I mean… you will die for this!
Liquid: I got it. Let's see what my 'talents' can do on a normal human.
He puts his hands in front of him and begins gathering a ball of flame. The guard is frozen in place, sweat dripping down his forehead. Liquid unleashes the fireball and it traps the helpless guard within it, his head, arms and legs sticking out of it. His stomach soon begins to collapse into itself as the intense heat inside the fireball turns his stomach, torso and chest into ash.
Guard: Arrrrghhhh! Please! Stooooop! Ghrrrgh!
His head, arms and legs were soon pulled into the fireball. It wasn't long before his entire body was turned to ash. The fireball disperses, and the ashes fall to the ground.
Albedo: I think you overcooked you dinner. Ha ha haa!
Margulis: Did you use your newly acquired skills to deflect the bullets? It didn't look like it.
Liquid: Uhmm… Oh, right. I still have this.
He looks down to the left side of his torso. 'The little gizmo', as Ocelot called it, was still there.
Albedo: What is that? I hadn't noticed it until now.
Margulis: What are you, blind? I noticed it as soon as he took off that non-stylish coat.
Albedo: Sheesh! Calm down, scarface! Don't have a heart attack.
Margulis: Forget it.
He says, regaining his composure. He turns to face Liquid.
Margulis: What is it, by the way?
Liquid: From what I got from Ocelot, since I can search his memory banks, this device repels incoming object with an exceeding velocity of fifty kilometers per hour using powerful magnetic fields. It also creates the fields around the wearer. This means, that even if I wore it on my foot, the bullets wouldn't just bounce away from it and possibly hit my head, they would bounce off of me. That completely protects the wearer.
Margulis: Such a device could possibly be conceived by scientists today, but no one has thought of it yet. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, how interesting.
