Peppino, Where are you?
-------------------------------------------------
Background Theme Song; Inner Goldfield
-------------------------------------------------
After their first victory over the rebel army, the government special forces, the regular army push forwards from the rebel mining area to the small villager ruled by Morden's forces. Not surprisingly, the stupid villagers even send in several photos of themselves along with the Rebel army REMAINING forces to the authorities. Several picture also shows some scene where the villager been chased by flying piranha, being abducted by the Martian willingly with flowers and parade. The Regular armies were to send to stop this madness before it starts to influence the other nationwide.
"Tell me again why we are in this goddamn place hovering this peaceful looking village?" Clark asked, with a pen and paper in hand.
"Because our mission is to stop what Morden is doing and retrieve something extremely important stuff." Fio said
"What stuff?" Ralf asked
"Err... stuff." Fio replied.
"What about Marco, Tarma and Eri?" Ralf ask.
"Copter 1 just drops them off a few hours ago. We'll be joining them once they clear the path." Clark answered, doodling Leona and Whip in swimsuit in his notepad.
A few miles behind, Marco, Tarma and Eri still engage the villager, arm with pick fork, shovel, axe and homemade dynamite. Arm with a pistol, all three open fired, but their body is like a bulletproof vest, they still keep coming even after numerous shots at their body. The villager kept moaning at one name though.
"Where did all these... guys came from?" Tarma yelled, firing one of the villager's head, which his head explode and reveal a eerie looking thing coming out from the headless man.
"OHMYGOD! Someone drop us in the wrong game!" Eri cried, she threw all her grenade panicking, thus, incinerate the villager. The villager eventually overwhelmed them, grabbing Marco, Tarma and Eri. "No! Where are you... put me down! Help, Marco, Tarma!" Eri cried, as the villager drag her inside the house and in a few minutes a series of uh and ah accord...
( The following scene is censored and are advice to restart the story again. We apologize if you are now being blinded by the story a few minutes ago.)
MegaAuthor: Alright, take two. And... Action!
A few miles behind, Marco, Tarma and Eri continue to kill off the 'happy' villager who offer the a rusty kitchen knife and homemade dynamite. Eri doesn't mind shopping here, but the dynamite the villager offer is always lit. She wants it unlit. In order to get an unlit dynamite, Eri and Tarma goes in to one of the villager's settlements to find this dynamite crate while Marco goes out alone, holding the perimeter.
"Tell me again where I can find this dynamite without being lit?" she threatens the villager with her revolver at his head.
"Me not telling you me dynamite place under bed. Uh-huh, me no tell" the villager said.
"WHERE IS THE DYNAMITE?" she asked again, pull out a grenade this time.
"Me not tell, me dynamite not place under bed."
"Eri, I think I know where the dynamite is..." Tarma said, giving the fact the villager is stupid enough to reveal it's hidden stash of dynamite. But Eri wasn't listening.
"Shut up Tarma, I'm trying my best to interrogate this stupid villager!" She said, hesitating even more. "Tell me or I blow your brains off!" she yelled.
"Tell you not, me dynamite are family, sleep every good under bed." the... villager spoke out.
Tarma simple pull out several bottle of famous cocktail in his bag, open the lit and place a a piece of cloth in it, he purposely place it on the table, walk back towards the entrance, turn back and said "Look Eri, Firebomb!" he pointed out. Eri look at the beautiful yet delicate grenade-of-choice on the table. Her eyes begin to shine like stars just by looking at the firebomb.
"Firebomb...Must... Have... Firebomb..." she mumbles.
She grab the bunch of firebomb and ran out happily with her new prize. Tarma steps into the house, kick the stupid villager aside and kick the bed aside. He picks up all the dynamite under the bed and 'gave' a single grenade at the villager, result a beautiful display of destruction from inside of the house. Marco spot Eri, happily kissing her new grenade, followed by Tarma.
"Did you found what you want Eri?" Marco asked.
"Yeah, I got firebomb!" she said, tossing a few forward, incinerate almost anything in front, which also includes the bridge as well, while Marco had hardly believe their luck.
"I suppose swimming is in your list with the piranhas as well?" Tarma joked before Eri kick him for a swim instead.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Sir, we have come and report ourselves from the front line. We endangered our very life to tell you that the Regular Army prevent us from digging any further," a group of grunt report back to General Morden. One of the still holds the shovel.
"They stop us? Is digging a crime in Rangoon?" General Morden asked.
"No sir, it isn't a crime at all, it's not in our 'Must Break Government Rule' book list either," the grunt said.
"That's right, and this time I'm innocent. But get the man ready, I want all grunts to ready their weapons and armored tanks ready to roll." he commanded.
"Yer sir!"
"You, grunt. Why are you holding that shovel?" General Morden asked.
"I was digging my grave sir when the Regular army simple storm in and kick my butt."
General Morden close his face with both hands, thinking of all grunt in his disposal, why did he recruite him all the way from Canada in the first place.
-------------------------------------------------------
While Clark and Ralf continue holding to hold their position from the wave of villagers while Fio does the impossible, calling out someone's name while raiding everyone's private properties.
"Peppino, where are you? Come back to me." she yelled, entering everyone's home and toss a chair, bed, table, drawer, dresser, cupboard and ever the toilet bowl out, sweat drop coming out from Ralf and Clark head.
"Who the hell is Peppino?" Ralf asked
"Something about a guy who took a precious very important, extremely important stuff... or that's what the script here says" Clark answered, pulling out his script entitle 'Metal Slug 6' as he read a while before putting it back.
"Okay, so this Peppino guy took this very important, extremely important stuff and we have to find it?" Ralf respond, scratching his head with his pistol.
"That is, if the authorities allow us to kill him." added Clark.
"Peppino, stop hiding, where are you?" Fio said, enter another house and starts to throw all the furniture outside, followed by a scream from the villager. "Doesn't anyone know how to knock already?" he yelled, but since Fio still searching for Peppino, she toss him along with the toilet outside without care, sweat drop again coming out from Ralf and Clark head.
"Remind me to add more locks and password protection when we get back," suggest Ralf.
"I'll keep that in mind." Clark answered.
-----------------------------------------
"How's the tank? Is it ready?" Morden asked, feeling anxious as he stares at the super size tank.
"Almost sir, but why can't we use those alien technology we capture not so long ago?" the grunt asked.
"Idiot, if I use it now, those dupes will know that about our little secret"
"Okay sir, I understand."
"General Morden! We have a problem!" another grunt appeared from nowhere, alerting Morden.
"What is it soldier?" Morden asked.
"We don't have enough fuel for that big, freaking tank you build. Almost all the other armored units are also out of fuel."
"No fuel? What... but how?" Morden starts to panic.
"I don't know sir, but some of our armored units still have fuel left, we await your orders sir."
"Push the tank." Morden suggest
"What?" the other grunt said.
"Push the tank off the cliff to pick up speed. With luck, we don't have to fight against them until we found some good location to fuel up the tank."
------------------------------------------------------
"Help me! These piranhas want me for dinner!" yelled Tarma, being chase by more than a dozen flying piranha. Marco and Eri were impress at Tarma who is running for his lives, not noticing that he is running above the water surface, denying all the possible physical explanation.
"Impressive, isn't it Marco?" smiling at Tarma.
"I must say, this is a good report material to show to the authorities." Marco answered.
Tarma finally manage to get to the other side with his life, panting and sweating like hell. He stood up, horrified that Marco and Eri arrive just seconds later, dry and not exhausted.
"How... how did you get here so fast?" Tarma asked.
"I forgot to mention about the second bridge over there," said Eri, pointing at the back, laughing at him.
"Don't worry Tarma, they are sending a Metal Slug later on from HQ. Rejoice partner!" Marco added.
"I'm... going to... kill both of you... when... we get back..." Tarma groan before he fainted.
Not long later, Clark, Ralf and Fio finally catch up on their other team member, Marco and Eri, but Tarma is still fainted. Fio kneels down and starts to poke Tarma with a stick out of curiosity. "Is he dead?" she asked.
"Nope, he just manages to outrun the piranhas, he'll be fine" Eri giggle.
"Okay, so my guess is that you clear this segment as well." Clark said with Marco nodded.
"Yeah, those villagers back there aren't too happy to see us." Ralf added. "They launch a clumsy attack with their kitchen knife and dynamite, so far none of these attacks are actually tactical."
"The Rebel forces must have twisted their mind," said Eri, "they keep on mumbling 'Lord Salazar' and stuff," she continues.
"Eri, this is Metal Slug 6, not Resident Evil 4." Marco reminds her.
"Resident Evil 4?" Ralf asked. "Can't the author of this fic fix the bug problem now?"
"Perhaps he had a weird RE4 ring tone he added" Clark said, adjusting his glasses.
-------------------------------------------------
"So, we have no fuel, low amount of victory percentage over the government special agent and we have absolutely no idea what to do with all the tourist here." the grunt said, seeing that the tourist from China came over for a visit in Rangoon.
"Perhaps we could use the tourist as a hostage," another grunt said, holding a shovel
"Please, we tried many times to capture some random prisoners, place them all over the globe and eventually all of these prisoners were found by that pesky Regular Army."
"We could ask the tourist for some money, you know, buy some oil with it?"
"Are you kidding? We're the bad guys, we don't ask them for money, we kill them, take their belongings and dump their bodies somewhere even an idiot won't know where it would be."
"Like a grave?" the grunt asked.
"Yeah, like a grave." the other grunt said. "Say, why you aren't holding any weapon beside a shovel soldier?" he added.
"I was ordered to dig a grave in the front line sir, until the Regular soldier kicks my butt."
"He did?" the grunt asked
"Yeah, see?" the grunt said, showing two footprint on the grunt ass.
"Two footprints from the Regular army, wow."
"Actually, the one on the left is from this guy name Marco"
"And at the right?"
"That's from General Morden, said that I'm an imbecile" he said. "What's an imbecile anyway?"
"..." the grunt remains silent, pull out a pistol and shot him multiple times at the chest.
-----------------------------------------------------
Marco continues to fire the villager at the distance while Tarma back him up. Clark and Ralf continue to rescue the prisoners and hand over the laser gun to Fio, while Eri picked up bomb crate. The villager retreat and send in one of Morden's war machine, but eventually crippled down by Eri's firebomb. A villager suddenly appears behind Ralf and try to knife him, but eventually was backfired by Clark when he does a SAB moves, sending the unfortunate villager to swim with the piranhas. All six soldiers eventually arrive at a roadblock, with wooden walls surrounding the area.
"This is the end?" Marco asked.
"Nope, straight ahead is the Rebel army's camp." Clark answered.
"How did you know?"
"Because it said here at the side wall." Clark answered, point at the wall that says 'this way to the Rebel Army camp.'
"Who's stupid enough to write that?"
Marco couldn't tell, but a sign is a sign. Marco and the gang try their best to open the gate, but the villager suddenly appears from all sides, ambush the team.
"Tarma, Eri, Clark, give Ralf, Fio and I some covering fire. We'll attack the gate at full force."
"Roger!"
Clark quickly approach the first villager that manage to land first, pull his SAB moves as he goes while Tarma and Eri back him up. Ralf eventually launch his famous Vulcan Punch at the gate, followed by a beam of hot sizzling laser from Fio. Marco gives a helping hand by pushing the resistant back. As the numbers of villager increase, Eri let loose a series of firestorm from the firebomb, blocking their path and incinerate anything ablaze. Clark continues his SAB moves just as fast as he could pull out a weed of the grass, sending the villager up high in the sky. The villager eventually were defeated, some ran off and the gate if destroyed.
"Good work guys. Let's move forward and greet the Rebel again."
--------------------------------------------------
"Oh my god!" the grunt shriek, scaring his partner.
"What? What is it?" this partner said.
"I dreamed that the villager is been slaughtered by the Regular army! We're doom!"
"Calm down. There is nothing happen to the villager yet, even if they did that could be prove as a war criminal, we're just guards. Besides, the Martian will warn us if they are any hostel enemy around," the grunt answered.
"Alright, but you better go down there and check for yourself." the scared grunt said.
"What for?"
"Because there is a Martian tied around my shoe with a flesh wound, telling me that there's a hostel enemy approaching!"
"Dude, that's the noodle you ate earlier, I can't believe you just puke it all to you shoes."
-------------------------------------------------
"Greetings humans, we came in peace," the one of the two Martian said peacefully in front of Marco and the rest of the group.
"Oh my god! We really are under attack!" Clark said. Panic, he pulls out a knife and kills both Martians. "Huh, mission accomplishes. No more Martians" he added
The rest of the team open their jaws wide, seeing that the two Martians came in peace when Clark simple pull out a knife and kill both of these peaceful Martians. To Marco, that is not good news.
"... friends of yours, Marco?" Ralf said, shaking with fear.
"We are so going to die." Tarma said
Just by killing both of these Martians, more Martians appears, wanted revenge at these pathetic humans to avenge their fallen comrades. Without anyway to make peace offers again, Marco orders to open fired upon the Martians, as a hostel enemy. Fio bring out the big daddy weapon, the Flameshot and slowly roast them while Vulcan Punch from Ralf made difficult when the Martians fire their slow moving orbs, forcing him to shoot them. Clark try to do his SAB, but the Martians body is too slick, he too pull out his pistol and knife anything that comes too near for comfort. Just as they finally get rid of the last bystanders, Marco's phone starts to ring aloud, its ring tone similar to the Main theme of Metal Slug. The call is from HQ.
"Hello, HQ what is it? You send a Slug? Huh? Oh, okay." he said, killing the communication.
"HQ sends the Slug huh?" Tarma ask.
"Yeah. An animal Slug."
"Animal Slug?" Clark and Ralf said in unison.
"It's a Slug that had several selected animals with special program training and ready to be mounted with 12.6mm Vulcan that can be used during war. We've been using it since Morden's Second Coup when they attack the world by storm." Tarma announce. "No animals were hurt, killed or being modified to fire Flameshot and/or electrical attack using their trunk," he added.
"I hope it's the camel Slug, their wonderful animals." Eri said.
"I hope it's the elephant Slug," Tarma thought
"Or maybe an ostrich Slug." Fio added.
But what they wish for isn't camel, elephant or ostrich Slug. It has a familiar resemble of a horse, and to their surprise, they believe it's a new Slug. Out from the bush, a donkey appears, with a mounted Vulcan at each side, with a typical hee-haw sound effect. Tarma, Eri, Fio, Clark and Ralf were so surprise that they barely move at all. The HQ sends a Donkey! A damn Donkey Slug!
"What's with a Donkey? I want a Metal Slug, and I don't care if it's a camel, ostrich or an elephant, but a donkey?" Tarma said in rage.
"Well, HQ is still building the SV-001 tank, so the Metal Slug has to wait. Since the other animal Slug is currently not available, the Donkey will have to do." Marco answered.
"But in the Metal Slug categories," Tarma said, pulling out list of monthly Metal Slug magazine, "the Donkey Slug has the poor speed, no defense, stupid animal with single-minded track and armed with... a cool 34.5mm Vulcan?"
"That's right, the Donkey may be stupid, and slow, but it is mounted with the heaviest Vulcan available in the whole armory. Powerful for an exchange for it's stupidity." Marco said, gently brush it's hair. "So...who's going to be the first to ride a Donkey Slug?" Marco added.
"This Donkey had better worth something," said Tarma. "I payed millions of dollar on other Slug for an improvement, but never expected a donkey could turn up." he added when the donkey suddenly kick in between Tarma's crutch, he whist in pain kneeling and crying aloud.
"Looks like the donkey like you" Eri said, laughing at him
"I hate this animal already..." Tarma replied, sounded like a chipmunk.
--------------------------------------------------
"Earth-man Morden, that Regular Soldiers are here, what are you intend to do?" the Martian asked.
"We're going to halt their progress and get out of here."
"Get out of here? Do you mean retreat?" the grunt said.
"No, we're not retreating, we merely trying to get away from those Regular Army as much as possible, regroup and launch against these... er..."
"Unknown, Earth-man. They have been a pain in Martian's ass since then." the Martian answered.
"Right, Unknown. Then after we finish dealing with these Unknown, we'll attack the Regular Army HQ for a good measurement." Morden answered, laughing all the way.
"Something tells me that none of us will see the living daylight tomorrow," the grunt said
"Aye, none of our brothers will like this plan as bad as I do, earthlings" the Martian replied.
---------------------------------------------
Marco and the team eventually enter the small Rebel outpost, fighting their way in from Martians, armored tanks, to plenty of grunt. Marco and Fio once again team up to fight against hordes of Martians while Clark and Ralf try their best to cover their back. Eri, arm with a firebomb goes to support, blocking the grunts and the Martians path while immolate those who is caught by the firestorm. Tarma, still riding the donkey with an attach Cannon Convoy, keep on showing its attitude, shaking and pounding along the way. Having a hard time controlling the donkey is one thing, having the donkey that really hates you is another.
"I think the donkey hates me!" Tarma announce.
"Don't be stupid, it's an animal, it can't be that furious at you" Fio said
"I can't control this mug... I.. Wah!" Tarma scream as the donkey starts to act on it's own, carrying him along and stampedes towards the Morden's forces, smashing them under it's horse …err donkey shoes. "Good donkey! No, stay! Stop, Halt! HELP! " Tarma starts panicking as the donkey continue to rampage.
"Isn't that the Frontal Attack the donkey just deployed?" Eri asked.
The Donkey Slug continues to rampage forward with Tarma tied up, with the Rebel troops fleeing for their lives. Several grunt tries to jump off the road, into the poison ivy, some even jump off the cliff to escape instant death, armored units switching to reverse gear at high speed and Martian quickly teleport out off desperation. Tarma still scream for help though, when he slam his face head to head at the front gate, knocking him unconscious while the donkey runs away, leaving poor Tarma at the gate. Marco and the team manage to reach towards Tarma, who is still unconscious at the gate.
"Tarma, buddy, you okay?" Marco said, while making sure that his all alright.
"Yeah... where did that donkey go?" Tarma woke up, shaking his head
"It ran off, I guess that the donkey REALLY hate you." Clark answered Tarma question
"For a donkey, it sure leaves so many damage properties around." Eri added.
"I know... hey Eri, have you seem Peppino? I can't find her," Fio asked, making both Clark and Ralf going nuts hearing that name.
"Who the hell is Peppino? She's been looking for it ever since she got here!" Ralf said, tugging his bandana tighter.
"You didn't bring her along, did you?" Eri said
"I forgot to take her home when we were here, I missed her so much" Fio sniffed, while Eri tries to comfort her partner
"Could anyone tell me who this Peppino is? Cause my partner Ralf is going berserk again." Clark asked, seeing Ralf goes postal and attack the gate with maximum rage.
"It's her teddy bear."
"A what?" Clark and Ralf respond in unison
"Her teddy bear, she left it not so long ago and she feels sick without it" Eri added
Clark and Ralf begin to doubt that their current mission, they are here to defeat Morden AND find her lost teddy bear. A teddy bear, a little sissy toy for young children to play and were given to an adult just to find it. Both scream in agony, running in circle before passing out.
"Perhaps they should stick to fighting games instead." Tarma spoke up, while the other member nodded in agreement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Background Theme Song; Steel Beast 6+7 Beefs
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The sound of heavy engine begins to pierce through all six soldiers ears, followed by a violent tremor. Marco and the rest of the gang look at each other, wondering what it was. They proceed towards the gate and move forward further when a giant shadow appears, covering them in darkness. Ralf look up, terrified by the size.
"Take cover!" Ralf yelled.
But the tank landed on their escape route, and crash towards all six of them. Marco, Clark and Eri landed at the rear of the tank, while Tarma and Fio manage to grab hold the side. Ralf landed beside the turret unharmed. Tarma help Fio up, before pulling himself above with the help of Marco and Clark.
"This thing is huge, and it's sliding down at full speed!" Eri said, measuring the size of that thing.
"And we'll have to stop it at all cost! Come on guys, let's trash thing locomotive!" Marco commanded while the other nodded.
"Guys! The armor of this tank is too strong, but the turret is kinda weak, hammering it might stop this beast!" Ralf answered, with Marco and the gang thanks him for the tips.
Ralf being on the turret side enjoy most of it, hammering it with his Vulcan Punch. Eri kept on throwing her firebomb before she switch to her standard pistol, combining her strength with Marco. Fio manage to keep her laser gun and the ammo throughout their mission, giving the weapon to Clark, who appreciates her while Fio fires her own Heavy Machine gun. Tarma toss a few grenades when the sidewall of the tank opens up, and fires volley after volley of rockets.
"Guys, I think they know that we're here." Tarma answered, but the main cannon fires its long missile that appears to be a tomahawk missile and both front and rear side deployed a cannon.
"Take cover!" Marco yelled.
The smaller rockets begin to rain down towards the other crew at low deck, while the tomahawk missile came straight towards Ralf. Ralf intercept the two missiles and dodge the last missile. The smaller missile came from all directions, but Fio got the job done while Eri finish the side turret with her grenade. Clark then tosses both Marco and Tarma on the main cannon, joining Ralf along the way. While all three attack the main cannon, Clark, Eri and Fio protect their partner on the lower deck. The locomotive tank fires it's last tomahawk missile when Ralf, Tarma and Marco finally demolish it, but not over. Unexpectedly the top side of the turret opens up, making all three soldiers on the damage turret to lose their balance and fall off from the speeding tank, horrifying Eri, Fio and Clark.
"NO, MARCO! TARMA!" Fio shout.
"Ralf!" Clark followed.
Miraculously, all three of them survive the fall, thanks to the...
"Donkey Slug! You're back!" Tarma said, riding on top of it while Marco and Ralf held beside the Cannon Convoy.
"Hee-Haw!" the donkey respond, running as fast as the locomotive.(What?)
"Thanks donkey, now keep chasing that oversize tank!" Tarma yelled; with the donkey agree (It respond?)
Marco and Ralf hop off the convoy while Tarma still riding the donkey. Just when they all are united again, the tank's upper part explodes and reveal a gigantic missile silo, ready to launch. In no time, Marco and the rest of the gang open fired at the missile silo as soon as possible, but the missile launches towards the sky, with it's hot flak randomly landed below them. Just as the giant missile launch, it stops flying, and plunge down towards them, but all five manage to escape the horror. Tarma quickly try to find a solution. The missile silo is hard to hit when the hot flak came raining down.
"Donkey, run as fast as possible, near the tank treads. I need to release that convoy off your back." Tarma asked, with the donkey reply with a typical hee-haw sound. "Marco, keep attacking the missile silo, I have an idea!" Tarma suggest, before he and the Donkey Slug ran forward. Marco agreed, but he haven't had time to listen to his ideas. Eri and Fio is ready and continue to fire the missile silo along side with Marco. Clark and Ralf nodded as well, with Clark carry Ralf up and throw him into the missile silo, frighten the grunt working inside the machine. "Hello guys, miss me?" Ralf said before he hammered the machine and the grunt with his Vulcan Punch, halting it's firing mechanism.
Just as the Convoy from the Donkey Slug starts to loosen up, the missile silo starts to go haywire, launching more and more missile up in the sky. Panic, Ralf does more damage on the machine, but it didn't work, it only making it worse. Eri and Fio ammo begins to depletes, as well as Clark and Marco when suddenly a huge explosion violently vibrates the tank, with Tarma scream with excitement.
"Yeah! Take that stupid Rebel tank! Take that!" he cried, jumping off the donkey and towards Marco and the gang.
"What did you do?" Marco asked
"I let loose the convoy towards the main front tire; it'll slow this monster for good."
"But Tarma, there's a rocky land right in front of us!" Fio panicked
"WHAT?"
A loud explosion erupted, followed by a loud crash and screaming voice. When the other Regular armies check out the crash site, no bodies were recovered or any sign of Marco and the rest of the crew in the area. What happen to Marco and the others? Is this the end of Metal Slug 6 chapter as we know it?

"The main thing is that we survive the crash, but the tourist all over the globe taken our picture when we reach at the bottom rock." added Tarma.
"But we manage to capture Morden though, right?" Eri spoke out
"True, and we manage to found my Peppino, which was in some grunts hand." Fio announce childishly, hugging it tight.
"Looks like it's our monthly off then." Clark responds.
"Let's go to China!" Ralf followed suit.
