(A/N)
Hello again! Once again I bring you another chapter of RONOS.
(Q&A)
Gamerman22: i'm not a big fan of Automatic shotguns, but for automatic I put the Saiga and the CAWS, but they are not very popular.
coduss: Snake change between the shotgun and grenade launcher from time to time, it is not a permanent change.
Guest: That's why I said that scene should not be taken so seriously.
Great Saiyaman54: Probably Roman would laugh, Neo would be interested about the naked part and Cinder, Mercury and Emersld would be confused.
Wombag1786: Maybe, it would be funny to see the girls jealous because of the cardboard box.
SilentXD7: Actually that is a funny idea for a Omake chapter, maybe I'll use it if you don't mind.
Czar Joseph: Don't worry, the Mk. 22 is Rank 5 (From PW) and I'm still thinking about Snake's semblance.
KnightyNight: I said it because the scroll was smaller, could take pictures, video, you could see news, make calls, etc.
Guest: There is a difference between considering a woman beautiful to be sexually attracted to her. Sure, he can think Blake, Weiss and Yang are attractive and beautiful, but only there.
Guest: The Mk 22 is Rank 5, also, someone will sleep easily if he is shoot in the head or close to the heart, there's you answer, but yeah, that too.
Mr Sandman: Pliskin was used by Solid Snake, not Naked Snake.
riztupratansha: I prefer to think that the Aura doesn't help much if someone is attacked from behind.
Sr Red: Thanks for the recommendation!
Chapter 9.
It's been a while since Snake had ended up in Remnant due to strange circumstances, since he was supposed to be dead. However, the veteran soldier-mercenary not only came to this world, but was now young once more, and only half hour after he arrived, he met Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, who formed team RWBY and took him to Beacon Academy.
There, Snake met Professor Ozpin and Glynda Goodwitch, who, knowing nothing about him, Snake told them about his true nature, so, although Goodwitch refused at first, Ozpin offered Snake to be part of Beacon as a student, to see what the soldier with decades of combat experience could be capable of.
And until now, he has slowly getting use to his new life. At first it was strange, the idea that now he was young again and he was in a world full of people with powers, called Aura and Semblance, as well as creatures of darkness; the Grimm. But it was also a new beginning.
On the other hand, the newly formed team RWBY at that time didn't knew much about Snake, considering him just as 'the new student', although they later discovered a little more about him, when suddenly joined team RWBY, at Ozpin's suggestion, although they accepted him with open arms.
So now they were team RWBY+S, although they were also called team RWBYS, since, although officially they were registered as a four letter name, the 'S' was to add Snake, but officially they were still RWBY.
Ruby was the first one to know him, although at first she was nervous because Snake was armed and didn't know nothing about him, but soon came to consider him a great teammate and a good friend, since both like weapons, and both are sniper rifle wielders. And she liked that about him, although she was beginning to feel something different and strange when she thought about Snake.
Weiss had mixed opinions about Snake. She couldn't believe that his name was 'Naked', he seemed to be somewhat ignorant on some issues about Remnant, he didn't know that she was a Schnee, and it seemed that he had an absurd obsession with cardboard boxes. But she also saw him as someone wise for his age, smart in combat and quite skilled, even if his only melee weapon was a knife.
Yang was the first to put an eye on Snake, and not necessarily to keep an eye on him. Although at first she only saw him as a 'handsome guy', slowly she became fond of him and his way of fighting. Also, for Yang, Snake was a little dense in certain situations, but even so, he considers him a good teammate and friend.
Blake at first was not interested in Snake, she would have even avoided him if he had tried to talk to her. But after seeing that he helped a faunus, and not caring that she herself was a faunus and an ex White Fang member, he saw her as another person, Blake thought Snake was a kind and trustworthy friend and teammate.
So, for now, everything will continue in a normal way.
— l — l — l —
Saturday. 9:40 AM.
Another morning on another day in this world called Remnant.
Since it was Saturday, today there would be no classes, and that was a relief for the students. And this was also for team RWBY+S, who were recently awakening from their sleep. With a big yawn, as she began to stretch her arms up, the young team leader started to wake up.
"Good morning team RWBYS!" Said the R of the team, even though it was actually RWBY, without the S, due to a situation already explained, but she liked to add it to mention Snake.
"Good morning everyone." Said the W of RWBY, still a little sleepy.
Soon the B and Y also woke up. But the S was still asleep. Weiss, as always, was the first to go to the bathroom. While Yang got up from the bed, she watched Snake, noticing that he was still asleep.
"He is always wearing that bandana..." Yang commented to herself, but her partner Blake heard her, as she looked at her sleeping teammate, although as she saw him, she noticed something under the sheet, what appeared to be a bulge, and when she saw it, she could not help but show a pervert grin. She planned on tease him a little, so Yang slowly moved closer to Snake's blanket.
"What are you doing?" Blake put her hand on Yang's shoulder, with a scowl in her face. She said it quietly, so Snake doesn't wake up.
Yang just pointed her finger to where that bulge was, and when Blake looked at it, a slight blush appeared on her face. She already knew what Yang was trying to do, she just wanted to tease Snake, and she didn't wanted to let Yang do it, although on the other hand she wanted to see what was under the blanket.
Soon Yang took the blanket with her hands and she lifted it. Ruby was using her scroll during that moment, so she ignored both of them, but when Yang did that, she turned to see her sister and Blake. Yang kept a big grin on her face, but soon her expression turned into a scowl. The thing that formed that bulge under the blanket was not what she and Blake expected.
It was Snake's M1911.
Soon after that, Snake began to open his eye, and the first thing he saw was Yang, holding his blanket for some reason, and next to her was Blake.
"Good morning Ya-" He couldn't finish saying that, because Yang picked up the blanket and threw it to Snake's face. "Hey! Why was that for?"
"Hmph!" Yang turned her back on Snake and didn't respond, so he was just confused about that.
"Okay... good morning everyone." Said the soldier to Ruby and Blake.
"Morning Snake!" Said the young leader, cheerfully as always.
"Good morning Snake." Said Blake with a small smile, while the blush disappeared, although like Yang, she was a little irritated to see that the bulge wasn't what she thought.
Snake took his M1911 and began to put on his boots, because he already slept with the rest of his clothes, except the shirt of the tiger stripes camo, so he stayed with his black long-sleeved combat shirt.
"I'll go outside for a moment." Said Snake to the girls, to which Ruby and Blake nodded. Even if they were a team, it didn't change the fact that he was a man and they were women, so it would be weird if he stayed there while they put on their clothes, and since Weiss was in the bathroom, his only choice was to go out. Although they were four girls and one guy, they quickly got used to Snake's presence, and they liked that he was not someone who would watch or spy on his female teammates. Basically, they trusted Snake, but there were still times when he had to give his team some privacy.
Soon Snake decided to leave the dorm and walk around the Academy for a moment.
While he was walking, Snake thought once again about his current situation in Remnant. It was a world different from his, a world without The Patriots, the AIs system, the war economy and even the war itself. Although there is the Grimm, crime, racism against faunus and the White Fang, there was no such thing as war, and the kingdoms were at peace, for that there was the Vytal Festival.
And in a way, although Remnant was not exactly a heaven, Snake could not help thinking that maybe, Remnant was the closest thing to the world The Boss wanted; a world united and at peace without war. At least, thanks to Solid Snake, the Earth could start again, free from The Patriots, the war economy and the AIs.
'I'm sure you would have liked this place, Boss...' Naked Snake said to himself in his mind.
And thinking about Solid Snake, Big Boss had told him, before the latter died because of FoxDie, that he should live his life as a man, and not as a soldier. Big Boss said that to Solid Snake, but what about himself? How Big Boss would live his life in Remnant? As a soldier? Mercenary? Huntsmen? In this world there were different threats to what was on Earth.
On Earth were The Patriots, the Artificial Intelligences, the war economy, the Metal Gears and the threat of a nuclear bomb.
On Remnant the only threat was the terrorist group White Fang and the creatures of Grimm.
And the only thing he could do at this time was to be a student to become a Huntsmen, but did he really want that? In the past, he wanted a world where soldiers would fight for what they believed, not for any government, for that there was Outer Heaven (although it was made by his 'Phantom') and Zanzibar Land. But what The Boss wanted was a united and peaceful world, where people respect the will of others, something that Big Boss only understood until the end of his life.
Since there was no war in Remnant, the government didn't use the soldiers as replaceable objects, the Huntsmen were not exactly soldiers. And there was no war, but there were still problems like discrimination against the Faunus and terrorism caused by the White Fang.
So maybe... Snake should try to do this time what The Boss wanted for the world...? But in Remnant? Or start living, not as a soldier or a mercenary, but as a normal person? As a Huntsmen?
Anyway, Big Boss still had time to decide what to do in this world, a long time. And for now he would continue to live as a student in Beacon Academy. But if Snake is going to fight, it will be for something he believes in. That's what he always did.
After several minutes of walking and thinking, Snake returned to the dorm, and when he opened the door, he saw the girls already dressed. But now the question was 'Now what?'.There were no classes, there was no mission for him, no bipedal tank with nuclear capability threatening the world.
"So, what are you plannin' to do today?" Snake asked to the girls.
As always, Ruby was the first to respond, since, as a team leader, she felt she should decide what activity her team should do, if the others agreed of course.
"How 'bout we go to the city? The last time we went to Vale, we went to the docks, but we didn't do anything interesting."
"Yeah, I remember, you went to the docks because Weiss wanted to spy on students from other Academies, right?" Boss answered.
"Hey, you can't prove that!" The heiress shouted to the soldier. Obviously she said that because he was right.
"Yes but the last time you didn't come with us, so this time we'll do something together!" Said Ruby with a big smile, raising her fist towards the ceiling.
"Together?" Yang asked, raising an eyebrow and showing a grin on her face. Just to tease her baby sister.
"N-no! I mean like a team!" Ruby shouted at her sister when she answered, with a slight blush on her face. As always, Yang got what she wanted to do.
Meanwhile, Snake thought that it was something strange but interesting, since until now, the only thing he did with RWBY as a team was eating, sleeping and going to class. But go to the city and do something? Something like what? Snake was not exactly someone who knew a lot about what people do, especially young people in their free time, and especially in this world, but maybe it was not different from Earth, but again, he didn't know much about it, maybe just go and eat with some friends and watch a movie. Maybe go to a bar and drink with friends but he didn't think the girls liked alcohol at their age. Maybe Yang though.
"So, what'd you girls suggest to do?" Snake asked to the four.
"We could go to the bookstore." Blake suggested, in a calm tone.
"Booooring." Yang said, keeping her thumb down.
"What do you suggest?" Asked the faunus to the blonde girl.
"We could go to the Arcade! Or watch some action movie!" Yang answered with a big smile.
"Arcade?" Said Snake, while he leaned his back on the door, and kept his arms crossed.
"Yeah!" Ruby said with a big smile, although it was soon disappearing and became a poker face. "You... never have been there?" When she said that, Snake shook his head. In fact he doesn't even know what the word meant.
"And how about movies? Are you going to tell us that you have never seen one?" Said Yang, joking a little when she asked the question.
"Nope." Snake said in a calm tone. Blake raised an eyebrow at what he said. Weiss maintained a neutral expression, and both sisters were shocked, with wide eyes and their mouths fell open.
Back on Earth, Snake never showed any interest in movies, especially those like James Bond, which he considered absurd fantasy and fiction. He even remembered when Major Zero, who was a huge James Bond fan, recommended that he should have a gun in the form of a pen, or a snake-shaped gun and change his code name. Double-O-Snake? Quite ridiculous.
And that was the thought of the man who considers that his best tool is a cardboard box.
"You didn't have a TV where you lived or what?" That came from Weiss. She began to think seriously that perhaps Snake was just someone who lived in the forest all his life, after all, he said he wasn't from the four kingdoms.
Snake shook his head a little. "It's not that, I've just never been interested in movies. In fact, it's not something that catches my attention."
"And what about books?" Asked Blake, she really hoped his answer would be positive, since that way she would have something more in common with the soldier.
"Well, I've only read about history. Nothing more." Boss said. Blake said nothing, only letting a small smile show on her face. It wasn't what she expected, but it was not a bad answer either.
Anyway, this seemed like it was going to be long.
But maybe, today would be a pretty calm day.
— l — l — l —
2 hours later...
And of course, once again, this WON'T be the case.
Snake was in the locker room, getting ready for the sparring match he was going to have. As always, Snake was wearing his tiger stripe camo uniform, with his scarf. As for weapons, Snake carried the M4, M1911 and Mk. 22.
As soon as he was ready, Snake went to the exit, to reach the Arena, where there were many people in the stands, waiting to see the sparring match. Among them were faces that he already knew, teams RWBY, JNPR and CVFY. What Snake hated about this was that he attracted a lot of attention.
But how Snake ended up in this situation? And who was he going to fight against? Well, everything happened two hours ago, when team RWBY+S planned how to spend Saturday.
| Flashback |
"So, what if we go to Vale and see a movie?" Suggested Ruby.
"Well, we already have a TV here, so why don't we better stay here?" Yang answered, then, she turned to see Snake with a grin. "Maybe we could order pizza, and I know who could pay for it."
Before anyone could say anything, soon someone knocked on the door, so Snake, since he was leaning on the door, opened it, revealing Professor Goodwitch.
"Oh Professor, good morning." Said Snake to Glynda.
"Good morning Mr. Snake, I wanted to talk to you and your team."
"Is there something wrong, Professor Goodwitch?" Asked Ruby, a bit worried.
"Well, Miss Rose, I came to inform you that you and your team were challenged to a sparring match."
This surprised everyone, so far no one has challenged another student or team to a sparring match. So everyone was thinking the same question.
"What team challenged us, Professor?" Asked Weiss.
"Team CRDL."
Well, that makes sense, Cardin still held a grudge against Snake. But why the whole team? Why not just Snake and Cardin?
"Well, if that's the case, we have to teach them how pathetic they are." Said Yang, with a big grin, hitting with her fist the palm of her other hand.
"Yeah! Let's show what team RWBYS is capable of!" Said the young leader.
"Hold on." Snake said to the girls, then she turned to see Glynda. "Professor, I will fight them alone."
"What!?" The girls said at the same time.
"The only reason they want to fight with us is because they want to go for me, and it's obvious that Cardin only wants to beat me. So what if I fight alone and win? That would be a hit against his pride, or what's left of it. Also, I don't wanna involve you in something I caused." Snake explained, showing a small smile. To which the girls blushed a little when they noticed his concern for them.
"I can't allow that, the match needs to be as a team." Goodwitch explained.
"But even so, I don't think there is a problem, they'll accept if you say it. Also, if they can't beat a single person, much less they could defeat a team of students." Snake answered.
Goodwitch was silent for a moment, and thought that Snake was right, but she also had in mind that Snake was not a normal student, he was a soldier with years of experience.
"I agree." Everyone turned to see who said that, it was Ruby. "I'm sure Snake can beat them."
"Well... If he ended up in a draw with Pyrrha Nikos, then beating those morons won't be a problem." Said Weiss with a smirk.
Soon Blake and Yag nodded, agreeing with their teammates. In the end, Goodwitch mentally sighed, and decided that in the end she would have to give in to what Snake was asking.
"All right, If that is the case, the match will be in two hours, so it's better to prepare yourself." The Professor said to the soldier. The only thing left was to announce the match, so the interested students could see it.
Without more to say, the blonde professor leave them, leaving the five in the dorm room.
| Flashback ends |
So, that's how Snake's morning on Saturday was going to be, at least it wouldn't be boring.
And now, Big Boss was in the arena, as soon as he appeared, most of the students, especially faunus girls and some human girls, began to cheer on the one-eyed man. Since he made the Initiation in solo, and he fought against those idiots to defend Velvet, a faunus, Snake called a lot of attention, especially in female faunus and some female human students.
And speaking of idiots, from the other side of the arena, team CRDL had arrived.
"Uh? What's wrong? Your friends were afraid and left you alone?" Cardin said to Snake, trying to taunt him.
"No. They just didn't wanted to waste their time with guys who can barely defend themselves." Snake answered, Cardin growled when he heard that.
"You're goin' to pay for making me look ridiculous!" The CRDL leader shouted to Boss, but he didn't take Cardin seriously. Cardin despised Snake completely, since he humiliated him and his team in the cafeteria, in the Forever Fall forest and in Oobleck's class, and Cardin was pretty sure it was Snake who left him unconscious in the hallway.
"Maybe that wouldn't happened if you weren't a racist, I told ya, faunus and humans were the same here." When Boss said that, most of the students were surprised, especially the female ones, maybe that's why he got so much attention, although Snake didn't know that or why.
"Shut up! Don't compare me with those animals, stupid faunus lover!" He shouted again, while his team only remained silent, perhaps they only spoke when Cardin ordered them? And when he said that, most of the students who came to see the match showed looks of disgust to the racist team, while some faunus could only look down upon hearing what he said. Others, with expressions of anger, just waited to see the student who killed a Death Stalker beat up the team of idiots.
Before someone could say something. Professor Goodwitch came to the arena. She had listened to the conversation that Snake and team CRDL had a moment ago, and in a way, she hoped Snake would give them a lesson. The scolding of a teacher and lose in a fight is not the same. She remembered that Snake told her and Ozpin that they were bullying a faunus student, but she didn't believe him at all, but after hearing those words, she came to understand why Snake ended up fighting against them.
Goodwitch walked to the middle of the arena, and took her Scroll, to use it as a microphone to talk to the spectators. "Good morning students, as you already heard, an official sparring match will take place today. At first it was going to be a fight of four vs four. However, today's match will take place between team CRDL."
When Glynda said that, all the students started booing them. Obviously they had a bad reputation.
"And only one member of team RWBY... Naked Snake." Said Glynda, It really was weird to call him like that. She knew his real name was John, and despite that, Ozpin decided to put 'Naked' in his student ID. What the hell was the Headmaster thinking?
The announcement was given as 'Team RWBY's Naked Snake vs Team CRDL', so everyone knew already that Snake's first name was 'Naked', but even if everyone thought his name was strange and even ridiculous, everyone began to cheer him up. Even Snake had to admit that he felt a little sorry for all the attention, and just rubbed the back of his head.
"Hahaha! What kind of name is Naked? How ridiculous!" Cardin said as he began to laugh, and soon his lackeys did the same.
But Snake just let out a small smirk.
"This are the rules: The Match will end when the fighters of a team have surrendered, been knocked out or their Aura is in red (20% or less). And of course, no attacks that may endanger the life of your opponent."
Meanwhile, the rest of team RWBY and team JNPR were cheering the soldier. More precisely, Yang and Nora only said things like 'breaking their legs and arms', while Ruby and Jaune only said that he made them taste the dust. Blake and Ren kept silent, wishing Snake luck. Weiss and Pyrrha knew Snake was someone quite skilled and ready at the time of combat, so beating a team of brutes wouldn't be a problem for him.
On the other hand, team CVFY also expected to see the match. Coco was trying to help Velvet to cheer up her 'crush'. That and because she knew the bimbo seemed to have an interest in Snake, so she had to help her teammate. Meanwhile, Velvet, hearing what Snake said about faunus and humans being the same, was in her little fantasy world in her head. What was she thinking? Who knows.
Back to Snake, he took his M4 rifle. But there was something different in his rifle. It didn't carry the AG36 grenade launcher under the barrel.
When Big Boss took his rifle, he removed the magazine, and then pulled the reload mechanism, ejecting the bullet inside the chamber. The bullet went up, and when it started to go down, Snake managed to catch it with his hand, and then put it in the magazine, but then he kept the magazine, basically now the rifle had no grenade launcher, no bullets, not even a magazine.
Snake intended to defeat them using only CQC, no bullets.
Goodwitch started walking to leave the arena. Snake and team CRDL were ready, so Goodwitch once again started talking on her scroll.
[Play: Metal Gear Solid 2 - Yell Dead Cell.]
"Let the match begin!"
As soon as the Professor said that, Cardin snapped his fingers, and the first ones to go to attack Snake were Sky and Russel.
As soon as Cardin's lackeys approached Snake, the first to attack was Sky, using his halberd, with a jump, he tried to hit Snake vertically, but he easily evaded the attack, moving to the side. While the axehead was stuck in the ground, Snake easily moved quickly to where Sky was, and using his M4, hit hard on Sky in the stomach using the rifle barrel, so Sky let out a cry of pain, and quickly with the buttstock hit him in the neck. Sky fell quickly to the ground and in a matter of seconds he was unconscious.
Snake didn't need ammunition, a big gun or even his knife. Knowing the basics of the CQC, he could attack the sensitive points of the human body, even if they had aura, anyone would fall with a precise hit. Snake didn't even need a Semblance to defend himself, and unlike Pyrrha, team CRDL were quite mediocre Huntsmens in training.
The next to attack was Russell, who tried to attack Snake from behind using his daggers. But Snake easily managed to duck, evading that attack. Staying in that position, once again using his rifle, Snake hit Russel in the stomach, causing him to duck a little. Soon he got up, and getting closer to his opponent, Snake placed the buttstock of the M4 on his neck, and with force he pushed him to the ground, hitting the ground hard, soon he left unconscious.
What was this? Only the two attacked at the same time, but Snake was able to counterattack them quickly. And the other two? They were just watching, they didn't even have a strategy, they just thought to attack stupidly.
While that was happening, the audience observed how Snake could easily counterattack the two members of team CRDL. Everyone was cheering for Snake, seeing how he used CQC in combination with his rifle. Basically he was using his rifle - a firearm - as a melee weapon. And that only made Cardin more angry.
"What are you waiting for!? Go for him!" Cardin, angry, yelled at Dove.
Dove obeyed his leader's order and quickly, with his sword, charge to where Snake was. When he was close, Dove made a vertical attack with his sword, but Snake used his rifle as a shield, placing it horizontally, blocking the attack. Seriously? They only know how to attack in such predictable ways?
Snake took a turn, to get Dove away from that position, and then with his elbow hit the blonde idiot in the face, then continued with a knee in the stomach, and finally, another hit to the back of the neck using the buttstock of his rifle. Dove fell to the ground unconscious.
There goes three, and now only one remains.
Cardin was pretty pissed off after seeing what Snake did, he was sure that if they used their weapons this time, they would easily beat the one-eyed man. By being quite confident and not acting as a team, they simply fell one by one. If Snake were an Instructor, he would have already tried to help and give 'em advice to avoid such mistakes, but people like them only learn the hard way.
Snake placed his rifle on the left side of his waist, being unarmed.
"What? Are you afraid and you send your lackeys for me while you were hiding?" Snake taunted with a small smirk in his face.
Knowing him, Cardin, being angry, would charge against him hoping to hit him, without any strategy or plan. And that's what he did. How predictable.
"Shut up! SHUT UP!" He yelled, as he ran towards Snake. More than a Huntsmen in training, he looked like a caveman, one with a big mace.
Snake, having him close, moved quickly to where Cardin was, and when facing him, take the mace by the handle, before he could attack. Holding it, Snake attacked with the sole of his boot to the side of Cardin's knee, making him lower his body a little. Snake took the mace and threw it to the ground, and then he hit Cardin hard in the face with his fist.
That hit sent Cardin back a few steps, but Snake didn't continue attacking. He let Cardin recompose himself, and since he lost his mace, his only option was to attack with his hands. But that would be impossible against Big Boss.
"It's not over yet!" Cardin shouted to Snake.
But when Cardin tried to hit Snake with his fist, Snake grabbed his wrist easily, then positioned himself and hit Cardin on the back of the head, trying to leave him unconscious. In the end, with both hands Snake took Cardin by the arm, throwing him to the ground, in the process, causing him to flip in the air. When he hit the ground, he was barely conscious, but he would soon fall unconscious.
[Music ends here.]
Snake at that time was thinking of telling him what he did wrong, it was something that sometimes he did against certain enemies, for example Ocelot when he met him in 1964, but the Professor would take care of that, maybe. But believing that they would win by being four against one and being armed only showed their mistakes. They were wrong and thought they would win quickly, that was their mistake.
"You let your team do everything for you, and you attacked me without thinking of a plan. Those were your mistakes." Said Snake to Cardin in a calm tone.
Cardin, before falling unconscious, observed Snake, and he could barely speak. "...go to hell..."
The four had fallen unconscious, and soon a rather loud but short sound was heard by everyone, implying that the match was over.
"The four members of CRDL were knocked out, so the winner of the match is Naked Snake from Team RWBY." Professor Goodwitch announced.
And when she said that, the students began to applaud or shout cheerfully the name of Snake. Since it had been an incredible fight, where Snake only used his melee skills, and he didn't use a sword or knife, no even a bullet for his rifle.
Meanwhile, Snake just waved his hand at the students in their seats. It was really strange that several people saw him fight, but it was not something that would go to his head. So in the end, Snake ended up retiring to the exit, while some students started to leave, and others expected to talk to him, about his CQC or their weapons, or maybe something else.
Although in the end, nobody managed to see Snake. It seemed that he disappeared from nowhere.
— l — l — l —
One hour later...
As odd or even antisocial as it seemed, at the time Snake had no intention of talking to anyone he didn't know, he just wanted to relax for a moment. So, after the match was over, Snake managed to get out and wander for a long time around Beacon, curiously he didn't meet anyone so far while he was walking. Maybe because it was Saturday and the students preferred to go to Vale.
At times like this, a drink would be quite good, and although he looked young, surely in a bar he wouldn't have problems to drink alcohol. While he continued walking, when he turned in a hallway, he ended up meeting someone he didn't expected to see outside his office.
"John."
"Ozpin."
"Congratulations for your victory against team CRDL." Said Ozpin to the soldier. It was weird enough to find him outside his office. In fact, in all the time Snake has been in Beacon, it's the second time he sees Ozpin outside his office.
"Thanks, maybe if they had a little more training they would be useful." Said Boss to the Headmaster, to which he only responded with a short, small laugh.
"Of course, that's why the students spend years here." Ozpin said, to then take a sip of his coffee. He always carries coffee in his hand or what?
"By the way Ozpin, did the General mention anything to you about what happened the other time?" Snake asked. It could be stupid to talk about such an issue in a hallway, where anyone could listen, but if Ozpin had the decency to call him by his name, then it means that no one was around.
"He has not informed me of anything, but he made it clear that maybe he could need you again." Ozpin explained.
That's music for Snake's ears. Seriously, sometimes it was boring to be here just as a student, plus he needed money for weapons, and maybe clothes, not that he uses different clothes anyway. "I suppose I just have to wait."
"Well, I'm leaving, enjoy the rest of Saturday John." Said Ozpin.
"Likewise."
Well, at least that means that Snake could continue to work as a mercenary for Atlas a little more. Even so, it was not time to think about that. Snake walked towards his dorm room, to rest a bit, maybe later he should eat something. And speaking of eating, it's been a while since he ate any kind of wild animal like a rabbit or a snake. Although in Beacon there was delicious food, Snake couldn't deny that sometimes he wanted to eat something from out there.
'Too bad the Grimms disappear when they die... ' Boss said in his mind.
After several minutes of walking, Snake managed to get to the dorm, and when he opened the door he saw that the rest of his teammates were already there.
"Hey there." Said Snake after entering the dorm and closing the door behind him. But soon Ruby, with stars in her eyes, approached him and began to speak in 'Rubysh'.
"Ohmygodthatwassocoolyouusedyourriflebutyoudidnotshootitandyoufoughthandtohandeventhoughtheywerearmed."
"Ruby, calm down." Said Weiss rolling her eyes to see the attitude of her leader.
"Right, right, sorry." Ruby replied, while showing a nervous laugh.
"Even so, I must admit, that was quite impressive, although not so much since they are a bunch of idiots." Said the blonde brawler with a smile.
'You were not mad at me in the morning because of... some strange reason..?' Said Snake in his head. "Thanks, and you're right, it was quite easy to use CQC against them." Snake said.
"CQC..." Weiss said to herself in a low tone. He really was pretty good, as he didn't shoot, he only used his rifle and his fists to take down team CRDL. She wanted to know how Snake became so skilled, and wanted to know more about his mentor.
"I knew you would win." Said Blake with a small smile, to which Snake nodded.
"Hey, I know! Since Snake represented our team and won, let's celebrate in the city!" The young leader said. And in fact it didn't sound like a bad idea. It's a pity he couldn't have a drink, maybe another day.
In the end they all agreed, although saying it was to celebrate Snake's victory was a little exaggerated, the point was to leave Beacon for a while and have some fun. And that was what they were going to do.

Already in Vale, it was a little different than that time when Snake went with Velvet and Coco or when he went alone to the docks that night to take back the Paladins. This was the first time he went to the city of Vale with his team, something weird because he had never gone out with the others in all his time in team RWBY, but even so, the experience wouldn't be different.
After arriving, the five of them walked around the city for a while, while they argued about where to go to eat. Weiss, because of her attitude, wanted to go to a luxury restaurant, but nobody was dressed to go to such a place, besides it was going to be quite expensive. So in the end Yang ended up recommending a place where its sell noodles.
Snake remembered that for a long time he had eaten noodles, especially instant noodles, a fairly simple, cheap but tasty food. There was no doubt that, some of Remnant's food weren't different from Earth's, that was a weird coincidence. But if that was the case, then surely that would taste good.
In the end, the rest of Saturday continued in a fairly quiet way for RWBY+S.
— l — l — l —
9:30 PM.
After returning from Vale, Big Boss went straight to the lockers and began to make ammunition for his weapons for the following hours.
Boss was in the lockers making ammunition with gunpowder for his weapons, only that it was slightly modified so it had more damage and penetration than normal bullets, so it would take less bullets to be able to kill simple Grimms like the Beowolfs. Armor-Piercing shell or AP. The good thing is that, since all ammunition was made of Dust, getting materials to make gunpower AP ammunition was relatively cheap, perhaps nobody thought of creating more simple but effective ammunition with other materials.
So far Snake has not come to buy Dust for his weapons, because so far Snake has not needed to use Dust, so far the powder proved to be enough to kill Grimms, and even Snake had the theory that maybe the powder was working better than the Dust against grimm, at least cheap Dust.
But still, there were several types of Dust that were quite useful against the Grimm, for example fire Dust, which he could use for hand grenades and ammunition for his grenade launcher, even ammo for a shotgun. Snake wanted to experience those kinds of things for his weapons, and of course, make more weapons.
"Snake." He heard from behind him, So when he turned to see, he saw the team leader.
"Hey Ruby, what you doin' here?"
"Oh well, I was just curious and wanted to see what you were doing." She replied.
"I see." Snake said as he continued doing his thing. "I was making ammo for my weapons."
"Making? You mean you don't use Dust?" Ruby tilted her head, slightly confused to hear what Snake said.
"Nope."
That left her a bit confused, but soon Ruby saw Snake's locker open, and without asking, she took the Intervention and began to see it from top to bottom. She could not help thinking that the size was small, compared to Crescent Rose, but even so the Sniper rifle looked pretty cool. Inside the locker, she saw one of the magazines of the Intervention, and when taking it she observed the type of ammo: .50 BMG. It was similar to her 'sweetheart'. But she was surprised that Snake created it.
Meanwhile, Snake did not care that she was looking at his weapons, as long as she didn't think to shot it or do something imprudent.
"So..." Ruby he said, while thinking of something to talk to him about, he was just focused on what he was doing. Until she remembered something, Snake wore his bandana, even to sleep, reminded her of her red cloak. But when she was going to ask, Snake's scroll started ringing.
Snake left what he was doing and took the Scroll and seeing who was the one who called (Funny since only him and Coco had his Scroll number), Snake decided to answer.
"Professor Ozpin." Said Snake.
"Good night Mr. Snake." He said when he heard that he said 'Professor' hinting that Snake was not alone. "I'm sorry for calling late but I need something right now."
"It's okay, I was in the lockers room with Ruby."
"Good night Professor Ozpin." Said Ruby, A little confused to see that the Headmaster needed something from his teammate.
"Miss Rose? Well, since you are with Mr Snake, I need you to investigate something for me."
"What is it?" Snake asked.
"There is someone in the Emerald forest."
"What?" Both Ruby and Snake asked.
"The person is not a student, the individual seems to be an adult. I need you two to take a bullhead and go to find out who and why he is there."
"Don't worry Professor, we're on it!" Said Ruby with a big smile.
"Good luck you too." And with that, the call was over.
"A person in the forest... Why will he or she be there?" Ruby asked.
"Maybe it's just a lost person." Said Boss, thinking that it was the simplest reason.
"Like you?"
"I guess..."
Soon Snake and Ruby took their weapons, and left the lockers to go to the Emerald Forest.
— l — l — l —
Emerald Forest.
When Snake and Ruby arrived, the first thing they did was exchange contact number in their scrolls, since they were thinking of separating, so if one of the two had problems, one of them would just have to call the other one, that or just listen to gun shots. The Emerald Forest was calm and beautiful, but in the night it couldn't be said the same thing.
"Maybe we should have told others to come with us." Said Ruby.
"We'll be fine. We only have to separate to find this person and leave." Snake said, to which Ruby nodded. Snake took his M4, and Ruby took Crescent Rose, and they started walking in different directions. They just had to find that person and get out of the forest fast.
Several minutes passed and until now it has still gone well. No Grimm in sight, and neither that person. It would be difficult to find one person in ALL the forest, so only Snake and Ruby covered a small part. Another interesting thing is that it seemed that it had recently rained, but only in that small area in which they were both.
Ruby was a bit worried about not telling Weiss, Blake and Yang about this little mission, but it was something that happened quickly, so now it only depended on the two of them, and Professor Ozpin trusted them, at least that's how she saw it.
While walking, Ruby heard some strange sounds behind a bush. Ruby prepared her scythe to attack, because she thought it would be a Grimm, so she was ready to fight. However, that wasn't the case. When Ruby was ready to attack one of Remnant's most dangerous creatures, she stopped completely when she saw what it was about.
A wolf.
Ruby blinked several times when she saw the wolf with gray fur, and soon she lowered her scythe, since she was ready to attack. The wolf stared at Ruby for a brief moment, even though she was about to attack.
"Hey there little friend, you're lost?" Ruby said, while in a slow and quiet way she was walking to the wolf so she wouldn't scare him, while the wolf wagged his tail slowly, because it seemed that he was curious about the girl. When Ruby approached, she noticed something quite curious about the wolf.
"You have a patch on your right eye, just like Snake." Ruby said with a small giggle, not thinking that maybe the wolf had an owner, if he had an eyepatch. "Maybe your name is Naked Wolf."
While thinking about the small resemblance between Snake and the wolf, the canine changed position, putting himself behind Ruby and beginning to bark in a direction of some bushes. And from the bush, a Beowolf appeared.
However, the Beowolf ignored the wolf, and with a jump the Grimm tried to attack Ruby, to which she jumped to one side, avoiding an attack of its claws. The Beowolf directed the look of its soulless eyes on the young Huntress in training. Ruby didn't waste time, and preparing her scythe, she ran towards the Beowolf, and without problems she managed to finish it after she pierced it with her weapon.
"Thanks for the help!" Ruby said with a smile, and the wolf barked, it seemed that he managed to understand her. "Maybe I should take you with me to Beacon, I'll call you Zwei Two, what'd you think, huh?"
Ruby was distracted for a moment, forgetting that she was on a mission, in a place with Grimms, and because of that, she didn't notice that another Beowolf appeared. By the time the wolf noticed and started barking, Ruby turned to see the creature, which was larger than the previous Beowolf. The Beowolf appeared from behind of her, and jumped to attack Ruby, who barely had time to react. But that was not the only thing.
Two shots were heard near Ruby's position, and the Beowolf fell to the ground and began to disintegrate. And from where the shots came, a man began to show himself.
"DD, I told you to wait." Said that man who kill the Beowolf, and then he turned to see the girl. "Are you alright kid?"
"U-uhh yes, thank you very much for helping me sir." Said Ruby, slightly flushed, because she felt a little bit embarrassed having been distracted.
Ruby looked at that man, he had gray hair and not much beard. His clothes were a brown duster jacket, boots with spurs and a red scarf. But since she is Ruby, only one thing caught her attention, his weapons, and what were his weapons?
Two revolvers.
"Those guns look amazing, but a little old, don't you think?" Ruby said to the gray-haired man.
But the man only showed a short, dry laugh. "Yes, they are old, but even so, these are the best handguns ever made." While answering the young Rose, he began to spin both revolvers. "But even so, they have enough stopping power, and with six bullets in each one, is more than enough to kill anything that moves." After saying that, he put both weapons in the gun holster belt that he wore around his waist. One in front and one behind.
Ruby couldn't believe that a pistol could have so much firepower, but she didn't know much about revolvers, although she only knew that they had a lot of attack power. It was what she loved about weapons, they always showed something interesting no matter the shape or size.
"And what about you little red? I saw what you did to that thing with your scythe." The adult said.
"Oh this? This is Crescent Rose, it's a customizable high-impact sniper rifle." Ruby explained with a smile, which showed that she was quite proud of her weapon.
The man raised both eyebrows when listening to the description of her weapon. "That's impressive, although the style gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever." He explained.
And when Ruby heard that, she just let show a small pout. "It may be true, but still it looks pretty cool. Oh, and by the way, my name is Ruby." She introduced herself to the stranger.
"My name is Adam, but many people call me-"
"Ruby!" They both heard the shout of a young man, however, although Ruby recognized him, the man seemed oddly familiar to that voice.
"Snake! Over here!" She responded to the direction where she heard her direction
"Snake...?" The gray-haired man murmured when he heard what the girl said.
Snake went quickly to where Ruby was, and when passing some bushes, he managed to see her, a wolf and...
When Snake saw that man, his left eye widened, and the same expression could be noticed in the gray-haired man. A few brief seconds passed, and nobody said anything, Ruby noticed this, as if they had been speechless. That, until Snake let out a single word.
"Ocelot...?"
End of Chapter 9
● Omake ●
The cat and the cardboard box.
It was another normal day at Beacon, and that means it's a boring day, and classes were over, so RWBY+S had returned to the dorm room after the classes finished. What was strange, is that Blake ended up leaving after they finished eating at the Cafeteria. When the others asked what was wrong, she said that she didn't feel well, and she would go back to the dorm.
"What you guys think happened with Blake? She looked depressed." Said Ruby, worried about her teammate.
"Maybe she feels bad 'cause today don't serve tuna." Said Yang with a cheeky smile.
"Well, I hope she explains herself! Professor Goodwitch scolded us because of her." Said Weiss, pretty angry.
And as always, Snake didn't say anything, just came behind them. When RWYS arrived at their dorm, they noticed that Blake was not there, much for their confusion.
"Huh... she's not here." Said Weiss.
"Maybe she went to steal a fish shop." Said Yang joking.
"C'mon Yang! Just because there was no tuna today doesn't mean she's going to steal it... right?" Said Ruby, while Weiss and Yang didn't say anything. Soon above them a cloud formed where the three imagined Blake, laughing like someone crazy maniac while in one of her hands she had her weapon, in the other a big tuna fish, and behind her a fish shop in flames.
But the three shook their heads at the same time to erase that imaginary scene. Maybe Blake was someone who was addicted to tuna and read pornography even though she denied it, but she was not a criminal, at least not anymore.
But while the three imagined nonsense, Snake noticed something strange. His cardboard box next to his bed, when he saw it, he realized that someone had moved it, and he had an idea of who had been.
"Blake, I know you are in there." Said Boss.
"Hey Snake..." Said Blake, in a low tone that seemed to show depression.
The rest heard the cat faunus in the box, so they soon came closer.
"Blake, what's wrong?" Asked Ruby, worried.
"And why are you in the box." Weiss said that, confused and irritated that one more time the box was mentioned.
"It's just... I just finished reading a book with a really sad story and... I feel like I don't know what to do now..."
"But why are you IN the box?" Weiss demanded.
"Weiss, it's fine, I have no problem in sharing the cardboard box with the rest of you." Said Snake.
"That's not what I mean!" The heiress shouted.
"I just thought maybe... I would feel a little better here..." Blake said.
"Oh c'mon Blakey, you'll find other smut books to read." While Yang was speaking, Yang tried to lift the box from the bottom, but when she tried that, Blake scratched her hand with her nails.
"Argh! What the hell Blake!?"
"Don't do it! Leave me alone!" Blake shouted.
And with that, once more the room was silent. Ruby, as a team leader and friend, knew that she had to do something for Blake.
Five minutes later...
[Play: Drum Cadence A U.S. Navy Band.]
The cardboard box was surrounded by pillows, many pillows, which acted as a barricade. And behind that 'barricade' were Ruby, Weiss and Yang, who wore a green helmet, similar to those used by soldiers a long time ago.
"All right soldiers, listen up!" Ruby yelled at Weiss and Yang in a rather military tone. They were sitting on the floor, and soon Ruby showed a sheet to the others, which showed drawings badly made of them all. "Our mission is to make Blake come out of the cardboard box, once we have achieved it, we will help her to feel better and be a happy team one more time! I call it Operation: Acoustic Blakey!" Said the young leader, while pointing with her finger the parts of the drawings, drawings badly made and colored with crayons, which coincided with what Ruby said, and that was a drawing of the girls and Snake, Snake's box and finally a drawing where they are all happy, but not Weiss, who was drawn with an angry face.
"Hey! Why did you draw me like that!?" Weiss complained about the terrible drawing she was in. Yang could only laugh when she saw that.
"No time for complaints, Corporal Schnee! Right now we have to-" Before Ruby could continue, the door opened, and Snake entered.
[Music ends here.]
"Oh Corporal Snake, just in time! I've planned a plan for Blake to feel better."
"Yeah, I have an idea too." Snake answered, and then walked to where Blake was hidden, but he was carrying something in his hands, it was a small, elongated aluminum box and a fork. Soon Snake sat in front of the cardboard box, with his legs crossed.
"Blake? C'mon now, talk to me, I have something for you." Snake placed the small box in front of the cardboard box, and the fork on top of it. Blake lifted the box slowly, and seeing what it was, quickly took it with her hand and closed the cardboard box once more. It spend a whole minute, where only sounds were heard inside the box, sounds that implied that Blake was eating. And after spending that minute, Blake went out like a shot in the direction of Snake.
"Snake!~" Blake made Snake lie on the floor, while she hugged him with a big smile and snuggled her face into his chest, like a cat that tasted something delicious for the first time, and showed gratitude to whoever had fed her.
"Blake! You feel better!" Unfortunately, her little happiness ended when she noticed the looks of the others, Ruby kept an innocent smile, Weiss just stayed there as if she had seen the weirdest thing in her life, and Yang had a big grin in her face.
Blake pulled away from him, and coughed a little towards her hand. "Thank you very much Snake, It was pretty good."
"No problem." Said Snake with a small smile.
"Wait, What did you give Blake?" Yang asked.
"A ration of tuna."
"She just needed tuna!?" The three girls shouted in their heads.
"But wait a moment, when we arrived, how did you know that Blake was in the box?" Weiss asked.
"That's because the box didn't seem to be in the same position in which I left it, it seemed that it had moved... one inch."
"Just one!?" Weiss jaw fell.
"Yep."
"Hey, talking about boxes, how about we get some and you teach us how to use them!?" Said Ruby excited.
"Sure, In fact, I like the idea of teaching someone else the art of using a cardboard box." Snake said with a big smile.
But Weiss did not like the idea. "You got to be fu-"
But before she could say the 'F' word, someone else knocked on the door. Ruby went to open it, and saw a familiar blond.
"Hey Jaune, what brings you here?"
"Hey Ruby, uh... I wanted to ask if you can return our pillows, and what's the deal with the helmet?"
"Uhh..." Before answering, she took the helmet and threw it away. And then all went and returned to Jaune with all the pillows of team JNPR.
And that's how team RWBY training using cardboard boxes would start.
The End.
(A/N)
And finally! Chapter 9, I have to be honest, this chapter was the most boring I've written, the reason why it took a little longer was because I didn't know how to start it, besides that I noticed this episodes go faster in comparision of the series, so this would already start in the arc where Volume Two begins.
And also this episode works to introduce Ocelot and DD to the story.
New Summary.
If you notice, the Summary has been updated, and if you read it weit, in the beginning of the episode, Snake wonders what to do in Remnant, this is because in most Fanfics the main character is in Remnant and decides to fight against the Grimm and the White Fang only because he is there, there is no other definite reason, on the other hand, Snake always fought for a goal, but this goal can not be achieved in Remnant, so he must find another reason.
About Ocelot.
Well, if you read well, you will realize that Ocelot's appearance that I described is from MGS 5, so, he is an adult, but if you read my previous comments, you probably already knew that I was going to introduce him. In MGS5 he is 40 years old, but I want to reduce his age to at least 35 years. Also, the SAA he uses are the "Black powder" model, the ones in MGS 3. Also, his his attitude will be more like in MGS 5, since I feel that in the rest of his games his personality is 'false' ans in MGS 5 is the real Ocelot, although perhaps he retains a bit of his sadistic attitude.
About D-Dog.
Well, Many people wanted to see DD, so here they have him, so he will be part of the team RWBY+S and will be in their adventures. And since D-Dog will be in the story, I'm thinking if maybe he should act as a replacement for Zwei, and that means Zwei would only be mentioned or maybe have minor appearances in the rest of the story.
Dust or Powder?
I have been researching on the Internet about comparisons of Dust and Powder, and some say that the Dust is more powerful, even if is just a little, others that the powder is better than the Dust. And honestly I don't know what to say, my idea is that powder is better than the most common type of Dust, that is to say cheap and simple Dust, but other types of Dust are more powerful than powder, besides that Snake uses AP bullets. And because of the power and speed of the bullets, I want to believe that, unlike bullets made by Dust, powder bullets would penetrate someone's Aura, even kill someone with a shot in the head with something so simple like the M1911, maybe I'll give more details about this in the following chapters.
Omakes
So... I'm going to start adding Omakes at the end of each chapter, this as extra stories where absurd and unrealistic but very funny things happen, since, although the main story may have humor, it would be exaggerated to put on too many funny and absurd scenes, even if both RWBY and Metal Gear have it, so my final option was to put Omakes, I hope andyou enjoyed the firhe one. BTW hope you saw the reference in "Acoustic Blakey", I'll give you a clue, it was a CIA project.
Votes for Snake's shotgun.
SPAS-12 = 9
M1014 = 6
Remington 870 = 4
Saiga 12 = 3
HK CAWS = 1
And for under - barrel
M26 MASS = 8
Masterkey = 1
So, the winners are the SPAS-12 and M26, I'll be honest, I wanted the CAWS, it's a cool automatic shotgun but no one knows it, but anyway, there you have it folks, that's how democracy works.
But now I'll do another survey.
A )How you find this Fanfic?
1 - Because I like RWBY.
2 - Because I like Metal Gear.
3 - Because I like both.
B ) And why you liked this fanfic?
Honestly, I would like to read your answers, so I hope and you respond to this small questionnaire.
And without more to say, I leave you guys.
See you in the next chapter.
