Metal Slug 6
Mission 1
Dude, Is that the Slug Driller?
-----------------------------------------------
Background Theme Song; Main Theme for Metal Slug 6
-----------------------------------------------
"This is B3-Bird, approaching to Rangoon, be advice no medic and/or likewise will be on board if you are hurt and/or killed." the pilot announce, flying above Rangoon. Marco and his usual partner gives a thumbs up in respond, with Tarma riding the Slug.
Clark and Ralf however were dumbfounded by the pilots respond. "I think I just heard something about, no medic on board?" Clark ask towards Marco
"Yeah, none of us knows first aid, hell, we didn't even get any CPR training." Eri announce, grabbing all the grenade on the plane.
"At least we have two condition though" Tarma said, inside the Slug.
"And whats that?"
"That we have the will to fight on, and that include luck" Tarma announce, adjusting the Slug's function. "Or we die with our name in the hall of fame."
"5 minutes people!" the pilot announce, when suddenly a bullet past through the wind shield and take a hit right in his eye, thus killing him.
"So much for the count down." Marco answered, readying his parachute.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yahoo! I got them pilot, now they won't drop off their men from the sky!" a Rifle grunt cheered followed by the others, but the fun wasn't over though. Just as the plane begin to crash, 5 figure and a tank take a free fall towards earth, open up the parachute and landed safely. As for the plane, it immediately dives down, towards the grunt that had open fire at. A familiar scream of shock from a group of grunt begin to disarray them. The plane crash landed thus kill all but one grunt left standing.
"Yahoo! I'm okay! I'm okay!" cheered the rifle grunt when a huge propeller came crashing down on top of the grunt. "I'm NOT Okay!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Clark and Ralf arm themselves with their pistol, moving forward along with Marco and the team. They made it to ground level and made a temporally base camp, hiding the Slug for a while inside the bush while Marco pull out several document to Clark and Ralf to understand better about their nemesis. Eri and Fio goes on watch duty while Tarma begin to fell asleep inside the Slug.
"Okay, this guy here," Marco said, showing a picture of Morden, "is will be our prisoner of war. Just think of him as your foe or a pest that needs a lesson taught."
"We're here to capture him, this person?" Ralf ask, giving a sign.
"Another Intel saids that our Slug Driller which we left here at Rangoon long ago is also missing. It would be a best idea to search for it as well."
"Slug what?" Clark asked again.
"A Slug Driller, a vehicles that looks like a underground miner that drill it's way vertically."
"And what does that have to do with this, Morale?" Ralf asked, seeing that it is pointless to get this Slug Driller.
"Morden will do anything to get his hands on the Slug technology, we'll have to destroy it or return it to HQ. Either of this two will do, but I propose sending it back to HQ is the best choice." point out Marco.
"Reason?" both Clark and Ralf ask.
"These babies cost millions, and all of it came from our monthly pocket money." Marco said, followed by a long silent from both Clark and Ralf. "Besides, we left the Slug Driller at Rangoon once, digging up a tunnel towards an ancient China artifact and we sold it at high price on E-bay." he continue, showing the resits to Clark and Ralf
"Perhaps SNK has send us into a weird game just to make fun of us" Clark said, with Ralf nodded with agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Inside the narrow tunnel, several grunt stand watch as the machine keeps on drilling it's way with the worker keep themselves busy by placing pillars to support the tunnel, following the driller.
"So tell me again what are we digging for?" the grunt asked another grunt.
"Well, Morden said that these alien lives in underground, so we dig our way in, place a nuke inside their nest and blow them to kingdom come."
"But how deep are they going to dig like this?"
"What do you mean? Our man mas been digging for the last 3 days without rest and salary increase."
"Yeah, but we only got through 30 meters of dirt."
"..." the grunt remain silent, pull out a pistol and shot the grunt in front of him.
---------------------------------------------------------
As Marco and their team continue to fire his pistol towards the tower tank with Tarma gives a final blow using the cannon, more grunt went into action. Clark use this opportunity to perform his special moves. He grabs a grunt and send him flying above the sky, which the grunt screams for help. He continue to send the others flying above ground level, some even flung so high that it never returns to Earth. After he flung the last grunt, he does a cool posing towards Marco and the others with a thumbs up and a silly grin in his face. Ralf wasn't surprise though, since it's his signature moves.
"Which gym did you enter?" Eri asked.
"Nah, I learn this move during service, I somehow like seeing them fly up in the sky without wing." Clark answered, still posing when one of the grunt fall right above him, he caught the poor grunt, flung him again.
"And after service?"
"Ralf and I here were send to some tournament known as the King of Fighters, where all fighting members and society goes head to head." Clack answered again when the poor grunt return to Clarks hand, which in turn he flung him once again.
"Wow, that means you guys are fighters as well, do you think a woman like me could join up?" asked Fio
"Sure, if your good at fighting. I once fought a girl barely this high," he said, showing how high she was using his hand right at his chest, "and younger too, if I recall." he added when once again the grunt drop into his arms, this time he slam the poor grunt on the ground with such force it break his bone cage, and Clark continue on with his elbow drop on the grunt, making the grunt perfectly near death. He stood up and yelled "SUPER ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER!"
Astonish, Fio whisper to her partner rather than anyone else. "Once we've finish this mission, remind me to enter this King of Fighter" Fio said to Eri, who wasn't prepare to get herself hurt.
The grunt, wasn't feeling well though, pleading "Medic" with a small voice. He's alive.
"Hey guys, wait for me!" Tarma respond after he finish the tower tank for his little enjoyment, enters the Metal Slug and accidentally steamroll the near death grunt.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Still inside the narrow tunnel, the machine keeps on drilling, faster this time.
"How deep are we now sir?" said the injured grunt
"Deep enough to dig your grave." the other one said.
"But I don't wanna die yet sir, I have a family of two!"
"All good soldiers die private"
"No we're not, we're the bad soldiers, remember?"
"Either good or bad, you're all going to die."
"Oh... okay. Mind if I borrow this shovel?"
"What for?" the grunt ask.
"Trying to dig my grave, that's all sir." he said.
"And while your at it, dig for me as well" another grunt said, followed by others
-----------------------------------------------------------
"VULCAN PUNCH!" yelled Ralf as he continue to tackle the grunt in front of him. The other grunt quickly flee with their lives and sending in the armored tank. Even with these thing, the tank explode after several hits, making Tarma to do the sums. "Mad person plus machine gun-like punches equals to... sheer destruction?"
"He could do that?" Tarma ask Clark, who simple ride beside the Slug.
"Yeah, lost his arm once, or so he said and replace with this ultra-powerful punching arm. Either way, Ralf simple like to smash things with his bare hands." Clark answered.
"But he seems frustrated when he's holding a gun" Fio said, seeing him goes on his Vulcan Punch a lot. "and grenades, I mean, did you notice that grenade he use is less effective?" Eri pointed out. "Not to mention his overall weapon usage." Marco added.
Ralf still goes on havocking his way like a mad dog, and the grunt kept running away from him, even the Medium tank and other armored units starts to retreat. "FEAR ME! MUAHAHAHAHA, FEAR RALF JONES!" he yelled, still pursuing the rebel army division with his Vulcan Punch. Some even plead for their loving mother for help, if that even helps stop Ralf that is.
-------------------------------------------------------
After Fio incinerate the last rebel soldiers, who eventually 'dance' for their lives, Marco opens up a map, and starts to look around.
"Two paths, one in front and another above these cliffs."
"We can take one path and be done with it." Ralf answered, but Marco shake his head with disagree.
"No, we'll split up we need to find the Slug Driller as well as the poor helpless prisoner around. Tarma, Eri, Fio. Go up the summit, Clark, Ralf and I will go through this path."
Ralf then look at Tarma who is riding the Metal Slug, he grins. "Looks like your tank here can wait. There is no way your tank could..." he said when he suddenly saw the tank actually jump from ledge to ledge. He rub his eyes and look again. The tank is jumping, following Fio and Eri. He turn to Clark to ask him if his dreaming, but Clark is even more surprise, even his dark glasses were taken off for a better view, witness this weird looking small tank and it jump, against all military physical possibility.
"Marco, tell us what that tank is capable of again." Ralf asked
"Right, the Metal Slug has a 360 degree firing angle, firing range up to 12 miles away, standard Vulcan that can cut through armor tanks like paper, bullet speed from 0 to 90 miles per second, powerful cannon, light weight armor coat from aluminium and rolling spikes that can tear down a car, and a compulsive neutron that enable the Metal Slug to jump and duck" Marco explain
"Duck? It can even duck?" Clark asked
"Yes, that's why this vehicle is called 'The Pride of all Military Vehicles', the Super Vehicle-001, a.k.a Metal Slug. There is also several Slug available, but we prefer this one, Tarma's personal friend and companion." Marco answered. "Come on, lets go"
On top of the cliffs,
"How the hell am I going to jump this ledge while reversing?" Tarma shout.
"Get out from the Slug then!" yell Fio and Eri back.
--------------------------------------------------
Just inside the cave,
"Sir, we have some major problem!" A grunt cries out with gun wound all over it
"What is it soldier? Get yourself shoot again?"
"No sir, it's the Regular Army, their here!"
"What? We didn't do anything wrong, aside from digging such a huge hole."
"What are we going to do? We are already short of men power." the desperate grunt reply, shaking.
"We have no choice but to attack them, and hopefully they will stand down"
"What about me sir? Don't I get any treatment or medical help?" the grunt ask, blood starts to drip off from his torso, leg and head.
"Sure. You, grunt! Can you dig up another grave for this lad?" he said to the grunt with a shovel in hand.
"Okay, another grave coming right up!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Marco, Clark and Ralf carefully venture deeper in the cave, passing through the blockage not so long ago. The Rebel army immediately rose up from their hiding and ambush Marco, Clark and Ralf. But they were prepare and return fire. Marco bring out a Flame Shot and burn the unfortunate troops. Clark and Ralf in the other hand keep themselves enjoyed with multiple SAB and Vulcan Punch. The Rebel soldiers begin to feel their age, as they still tend to launch their old tactics by pulling their knife out while jumping. Clark spot an incoming rebel from behind. He duck just enough time before the rebel knifed him. He counter back with his signature moves, making the helpless grunt plead out, "MOMMY!". Ralf however when insane again, pulling out his Vulcan Punch while the other rebel troops flee for their lives.
Just as the area is secured, Marco pull out a clip and reload it into his magnum. He also pick up several weapon along the way and handed over towards Clark and Ralf.
"Clark, Ralf. You might need this." said Marco, giving both of them a weapon.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Ralf asked, press the trigger and resulting a long rocket-like weapon dropped to the ground and speeds it's way forward, it explode on impact.
"That weapon is called the Iron Lizard, used for attacking mass number of enemy and vehicles." Marco replied
"And this?" Ralf continues, switching it to another rocket-like weapon, which it flies zig-zagging once fired.
"That's Enemy Chaser, a missile that locks onto an enemy, reckless how fast they were."
"Does any of your weapon even considered NORMAL?" Ralf asked again, keeping the weapon.
"Don't mind him Marco, he sometimes get things out of hand, but I wonder why the weapon available is weird, to say the least." Clark apologize on Ralf behalf, who went postal again by attacking the stalagmite.
"Don't asked me, these weapon came from the government-weapon-of-choice list. We usually settle things with machine gun, shotgun, rocket launcher and flamethrower, but lately the safety measure when berserk since the Martian came, so several unique weapon are needed."
"You really believe these things do you?" Ralf ask. Marco remain silence.
-------------------------------------
"Are we there yet?" ask Tarma inside the Slug, constantly making the Slug jump as if it begs to be somewhere else, beside of waiting for Eri and Fio to move on the mountain ledge.
"Tarma, why don't you be a little useful and help us free the prisoners?" Fio ask, pointed out the four poor prisoners held captive on the ledge.
"No way, I'm not going to free them, that's for little sissy girls work. You girls go ahead."
"What did you just said?" Eri threated Tarma, open the Slug's cockpit and took out 5-6 grenades, ready to throw in. Tarma realize his mistake, offer Eri that he'll help the prisoners, as long as she's happy. He got out from the Slug and carefully jump from one ledge to another and save each and every last one of the prisoners. He turn around to Eri, sitting near the cockpit with Fio at her sides.
"There, happy?"
"Really happy, and thanks for the Slug too!" Eri said, driving the Metal Slug while Fio ride at the side, giggling at Tarma. She waves her hand to Tarma, who is pissed off and tries to get back to his Slug.
"Should we give him a ride?" Fio suggest
"Nah, he'll do just fine. Besides, he need the exercise rather than to ride this Slug."
"Give me back my Slug! I still haven't insured that Slug yet!" Tarma plead, chasing after the Slug into the cave when the ground break off, causing them to free fall towards the lower ground.
Unaware about the situation, both grunt was lucky not being send to battle. The reason is quite simple, they were assign to protect this little hidden area from the Regular army and are not ordered to move until they are told to. Both celebrate for not going to battle, and start to taunt several Regular Army along the way.
"Well, good thing those Regular Army didn't notice about our hidden area." a grunt said
"Yeah, those Regular army is just stupid to missed this spot." said another
They continue to talk it out when a Tarma, Fio and Eri inside the Slug came down from the ceiling and land right on top of them, crushing the two grunt. Tarma wake up just to open the Metal Slug's cockpit and demand at Eri that the Slug is to return to him, but Eri fainted during the their free fall causing her head bumped on the handle. Feeling dizzy, Fio who was sitting at the side of the Slug is too afraid to move, holding the Slug hard on it's handle.
"They haven't installed the air bag yet, good thing I didn't drive." Tarma said, pulling Eri out from the Slug and try to wake her up before they continue.
Clark, Ralf and Marco heard a loud crashing sound as they enter the newly dug area. Marco gives the signal to Clark and Ralf to investigate it, which both agree. They slowly move forward when they heard a familiar voice.
"Wake up, Eri come on, wake up. Nap times over!" Tarma answered while slapping Eri's cheek, making her a little uncomfortable. Fio suggest to give her CPR, which none of them knew.
"You want me to do what?" Tarma asked again
"Give her the 'kiss of life', or CPR." Fio suggest happily.
"You got to be kidding! I can't give her that!"
"Either we wait for her to wake up on her own or we do it the easy way."
Tarma begin to blush, seeing her lie down, unconscious. He slowly approach her lips when he suddenly said, "How does this CPR thing does again?", making Fio, Clark and Ralf (Both of them are hiding) fainted at Tarma's respond.
"The mouth! Kiss her at the mouth!" Fio suggest, "And while your at it, I brought the camera, just in case you need it" she continue, making Tarma blush even harder.
I couldn't do it, this is my first time, and I NEVER like her... why, Tarma thought. He close his eyes and slowly approach towards Eri's lips, when his lips touch something cold. Is her lips this cold? He thought. Tarma open his eyes, notice that Eri is awake, with a revolver pointing at him
"Kiss me and you die jerk" she said.
"Oh, heh Eri! Didn't knew you were awake." Tarma respond, removing himself away from Eri and quickly enters his Metal Slug almost as fast as he could start the ingition key in the Metal Slug. Fio almost got them do the 'kissing' part, thought she could grab a few hundred bucks by selling each copy to the authorities.
Clark and Ralf turn and look at each other, "As long as you don't write about this, either do I" Clark answered with Ralf does the nodding. Both goes out from the cave and greet with Marco, saying that the area is secured, and manage to recover their 'lost team'. "Lost team?" Marco wondered.
-----------------------------
"Sir, their here! Those Regular soldiers are here!" the grunt said out loud.
"Damn it! Alright man, phase two it is. Stop drilling and start attacking them!"
"But sir, these machine don't have any weapon, it's just a stupid driller!"
"Then use the driller as a weapon, idiot!"
"Yes sir!" shout the remaining troops.
"How's the grave going private?" he said to the grunt with a shovel in hand.
"Almost done sir." the grunt said when he hit something hard on the ground. "What the hell?"
Just as the grunt pull the odd looking machine up, Marco and the rest of the gang manage to catch up, and spot a gigantic driller, with a smaller machine beside.
"Hey, isn't that..." Marco said, pointing at the machine.
"OHMYGODITSOURSLUGDRILLER!" cried Tarma, making the other team stare at Tarma
"Pardon?" they said.
-------------------------------------
Background Theme Song; Steel Beast 6+7 beef
-------------------------------------
Just as they approach the damage Slug Driller, the gigantic driller, known as the Master Driller steamroll the Slug, thus destroying it. Marco and Tarma looked ta the pieces of the Slug Driller, smash and destroyed. Eri and Fio wasn't too happy as well. As for Clark and Ralf, this is their first time they encounter such a huge machine, especially if this thing suppose to be the boss.
"Man, that thing is huge!" Ralf said.
"How do we bring it down?" asked Clark
"Same thing as the other big ugly bosses we meet so far, we shoot till it breaks" Suggest Marco.
"Right behind you Cap'." said Tarma, readying the Slug for some action
"I manage to pick up a Super Grenade, I'll use it on this machine for all I care." Fio answered
"And while your at it, give some space for me k'?" said Eri, readying her grenade.
The Master Driller move forward slowly and starts to attack by raising it's shield up and launch multiple slow-down version of Iron Lizard towards them. Tarma quickly fires his main cannon, destroying the Iron Lizard while Eri and Fio begin bombard the boss, Marco quickly hand over his Heavy Machine Gun to Clark, who appreciate him, and both fires away, with Tarma constantly fires the Vulcan and unleashing the cannon at the boss. Ralf bravely move forward and does his Vulcan Punch like mad. The shield begins to crack, and the grunt inside the machine nervously send several huge rocks throwing towards them. Team scatters the area for cover but Ralf and Tarma still continues to attack, not noticing the huge rock came straight at them. The boulder hit Ralf, but manage to get up and said "It's just a flesh wound." and continue his moves.
"Tarma get out from there!" cried Eri
Too late, the rock hit the Slug head on, causing the tank to go haywire. Tarma quickly pull the emergency escape pod, but notice that the tank is still functional to perform it's final task.
"You want revenge baby? " he said. He pull the red level up beside the handle, turn it clockwise and push it back down, he thrust the level forward and immediately, the screen suddenly goes red, with a warning sign came up. He quickly eject himself off, sending the Metal Slug to perform it's final task, a Frontal Attack.
"Ralf, Get out from the way!" Marco shout, which he did. Ralf saw a glimpse that the Metal Slug came zooming towards the machine with bright red, and self-destruct upon impact, destroying the shield all together. The grunt inside the Master Driller switch to Driller mode, and bring out the massively huge driller. Marco and Fio exchange weapon from one another, switching his Flame Shot for her Heavy Machine Gun, Tarma who is arm only with his pistol give all his grenade at Eri while Ralf toss an Iron Lizard to Tarma. Clark then receive a Heavy Machine Gun again from Marco, as he is better off using his handgun. They concentrate fire on the drill, when the drill suddenly spring to live and fires right at the ceiling, forcing it to drop sharp rocks above their head. Ralf protect his companion using his Vulcan punch, back up with Marco and Clark while Fio, Tarma and Eri tackle the machine. Out of frustration, the machine activate it's drilling mechanism and thrust forward, both Eri and Tarma duck down, but Fio wasn't prepare for such outcome.
"Fio!" Shout Marco and Eri, when suddenly the machine explode to smithereens, and missed Fio entirely. Ralf was in front, performing his last Vulcan Punch to the machine's interior, thus destroying the Master Driller's core. Fio sat down, crying with fear. Eri and Marco approach towards her, comforting their teammate.
"Tarma Roving to HQ, area is secured, get some people here to clean this mess up, over." Tarma announce towards HQ. "Roger Tarma Roving, is anyone hurt, over?"
Tarma look at Ralf and Fio. Ralf was hit but still manage to fightback while Fio still shaking, but she okay. "No, but send in the medic team while your at it, just to make sure, over."
"Roger that, over and out."
Tarma terminate his radio, and walk towards Ralf. "You okay? You look like you need some rest." Ralf shake his head in respond, still showing his grin at the shady guy. "Sorry about the Slug." Ralf said
"What, the Metal Slug? We still have plenty of these in HQ..."
"Actually Tarma, thats the last one." Marco announce, still nursing Fio. This however make Tarma with his mouth wide open.
"LAST ONE? Then... how are we going to get to our next mission?"
"We walk." Said Eri "for another 100 miles more north-east from here, a rendezvous will pick us up."
A screaming sound from Tarma erupted, echoed inside the cave, denying the fact that they had to walk out for another 100 miles away. "He always do that does he?" Clark said, with the other team nodded.
Mission 1 Complete!
