MGS chapter 3

Hideo Kojima owns Metal Gear along with Konami. I own none of the characters except the ones I create myself.

Snake looked around. Confused he walked toward the start of the clearing. "Now where to go? Straight? Nah they would be expecting that." He looked to his right. Snake looked at the beautiful trees that were there. 'Trees? What are trees doing out in the middle of this place?' "Hmmmmnnn the woods. Yes over to those woods." He took one step and heard the crack of a branch. A little distant from where he was there was a loud quesionable noise.

"Huh? I hear something."

"Shit!" He laid down to avoid the gaurd from seeing him. The gaurds vision swept the field and looking over the area he saw a small hole. He walked over to the odd spot in the grass. Snake looked up and that was all it took for the gaurd to notice Snake there. Shots rang out while Snake made his way to the gaurd avoiding bullets and drawing his knife in the process. He quickly ran up to him while the gaurd reloaded and slit his throat with the knife. The gaurd dropped quickly. Snake leaned down and listened for a breath. None, no breath even slightly squeezed out of the guard. Snake stood up. "Hmnnn, thats not good." He looked around, to his left was a lake, to his right was a path. He could either continue on and hope the body is never found or dump it off in the lake. He thought or a brief minute knowing all too well that he had no time to think. He bent over and picked up the body; dragging it to the lake. He looked back, a blood trail was right behind him. "Well as long as no one thinks its a human that shouldn't be a problem." A call from his codec rang out, he kneeled and took the call.

"This is Raiden with delta force squad six. Snake you there?" He did reconize the voice.

"Raiden I thought you were in the gulf?"

"Nope. Got back three days ago. About the time you were captured by the UN. Snake this is bad. We are in a heavy contested area and three of our men have died. We are running low on supplies. They keep coming..."

Snake cut him off, "Look kid that is war. Real war nothing like what you faced at the Big Shell three years ago. If you run outta ammo take an AK. Also you still got your stealth suit?"

"Yes." Raiden said in amazment. "I get it. If I have to sneak away from the squad and force my way to them and kill them."

"Not quite. Take your time. Go find a guy with an RPG and take it from him and blow them away with it. That should aloow your squad to move."

"Gotcha. One more thing Snake, How long before you will be here?"

"Few hours is my guess all depends on how heavily the forest is with guards."

"Right. Raiden out." With that Raiden cut the link off. Snake stood and walked over to the path on his right. The path was dark and dreary. It looked like something out of the Wizard of Oz. He walked a good four miles before meeting up with Delta Force. Squad six was almost decimated. He hid behind some cardboard boxes. "Hmmm these bring back memories." He took one off the pile and riped the top open and took out all of the insides.. With that he closed it by simply reclosing it with the tape that was there already. He tore open the bottom and got inside. Looking out he saw Delta Force walk up to him. He pushed the box off and walked up to them.

"Glad to see you boys here. Whats the status?"

"Three men wounded one man dead. Six of us left. If it weren't for Raiden here we would've all died." he grabbed Raiden by the head and knuckled him. "Now Snake, about ten miles from here is the base. Inside are two hostages. One man and one woman. Both are with the UN special forces."

"Special forces? The Un had no need for the special forces since the war in Iraq 10 years ago."

"Habits change. Just like you though they were sent in to get info about a walking battle tank. Thats all we were told."

"So theres more going on than what the general told me."

"Can you describe this general to us sir?"

"Sure. Grey hair standing at least six one. Broad shoulders. At least sixty."

"Ah you must mean General Ashton. Thats who sent us. He didn't tell you anything either huh?" The captain asked with no reassurence in his voice.

"Nope." Snake replied. He lit up a cigarette and puffed away.

"Surprised you ain'y been heard yet. Knowing how long you've smoked. Surprised you ain't got lung cancer or emphysema." The young Captain took a hard look at Snake. Then turned his attention toward the inner side of the city. "There should be more men throgh here." He pointed to the building to his right. "Up in that tower there si a sniper who has had us pinned for the last four hours. If you can take out the sniper up ahead we can help you with your entrance into Fort Gravele."

Please read and review. If this isn't as good or mysterious as what I have written before I apologize. This is really Chapter three. I'm hoping ot have Chapter 4 written and up soon.
