Background Theme Song: Asia Impact
----------------------------------------------------
After a long battle against Morden men, and their request for a monthly holiday turn down, our heroes fly east after the intelligent agent found some evidence about Morden's secret training camp site. That's not all, several strange sighting also been reported about a humanoid that attack the poor people down there and rampaging the area mainly in Chinatown. With Morden held captive and majority of his forces is already been defeated, Marco could only wonder what surprise he'll see. As the chihook copter fly above Chinatown, the sound of building collapses and people screaming for help could be heard.
"Okay guys, we're here. Now remember, just because we are not fighting against Morden men, that doesn't mean there isn't any. Be on your guard." Marco said
"Right, HQ will send in the new toy later, since there isn't enough room for it in here." Tarma said, rubbing his hands with anticipation.
"I heard there are producing weapons inside the maintenance shaft, I wonder if I could use it?" Fio asked
"You grab the weapon then Fio, I'll grab the grenades!" Eri answered, stuffing the grenade under her pocket.
"Guess we'll just have to wait for the vacation until the mission is finish." Ralf said, tightening his bandana.
"Guess so. Come on, the more weapon we got, the more we get to kick ass!" Clark replied
---------------------------------------------------
Inside the TV station, somewhere in US with plenty of tanks and troops from the Regular army stand watch as General Morden finally appear in the big screen.
"Good day, and welcome to..."
"WORLD DOMINATION! MUA HA HA HA HA!" Morden suddenly appear on screen with his face at the camera, the troops quickly head towards Morden and beat the crap out of him.
"...Ehem, as I was saying, welcome to Talk to Lina, the show where people will talk to me for their deepest problem in their heart," Lina said, with short red hair with pink lipstick, sky blue coat with an undershirt, short skirt.
"Today, I'll be talking to Mr. Morden, the man who attempt to conquer the world with numerous unknown technology. Mr. Morden?"
Morden still lay down on the floor with a silly grin in his face, unconscious after been beat up like that. The camera zoom in onto him while he chant the word 'world domination' and stuff.
"...Err, we'll be right back"
--------------------------------------------------------
As the elite Regular soldiers decent down slowly with their parachute on, they could see several men wearing the Rebellion uniform with their thick glasses running about with no guns shooting them, obviously trainee.
"Marco, those people down, are those Morden's men?" Ralf ask
"Yep, but with their superior held captive and their officer is killed in action, I don't think they are a threat to us." Marco answered when suddenly the troops runs away as a new yet unknown creature emerge from the ground, slimy creature with a huge head and elastics arms and legs, rolling and bounding towards the terrified troops.
"Marco, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Fio said
"Yep, and they aren't too happy about it as well."
Upon landed, Marco and the rest of the gang open fire on the unexpected alien, which in turn puke out worms from their mouth, making Fio shriek in disgusted. The worm crawl it's way towards Ralf and explode. Luckily, Ralf perform an evades maneuver before the worm explode. This however shock the rest of the gang.
"Oh my God! The worm just explode!" Clark said in shock
"Well, that never happen before." Marco said, rubbing his chin.
"What do you mean?"
"Normally a worm such as this releases toxic fluid that kill you, making your flesh to peel off if you are expose, but exploding worms is just weird" Fio said.
"Looks like you guys know almost everything." Ralf said, pulling a Vulcan Punch and kill the unknown creature. "Well, what do you know? Their body is just plain hard, like those Martians."
"I'm not surprise."
----------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in the TV station...
"Hello and good day, while Morden is resting, let's interview the grunt who survive the onslaught of the cruel invasion. The mighty, namely Grunt"
Grunt enters the show with body wound and a shovel in hand, waving the shovel about and hit one of the Regular soldier unnoticed, a thin paper stick on it's back with a word 'imbecile' and two footprint up on his ass. He stepped over Morden unnoticed and sit down on the sofa.
"Good morning Mr. Grunt. Hows your day?"
"Well, I can't say fine. After all, I've been stab, knifed, steamrolled, been blast apart and been fired upon isn't easy. But all this never happen to me, no sir! My friends are the one who gets the credit for that. I, in the other hand have a family of two, and if you see me now darling, I'll be coming home soon!"
"That's touching, but how did you manage to escape death?"
"Nope, I didn't. I embrace it. Death and I made a pact that if I die, I must use this magic coin to return back to the living. Problem is, Death forgot to say how much coin I shouldn't carry, so I kinda like living too many times after being shot, stab, knifed, steamrolled, blast apart and been fired upon." the grunt said, showing everyone the magical coin in his hand
"I think I've heard that story before..." Lina rub her chin.
"You know, for a minute there, I thought that your chest is big. Is that a fake breast?" the grunt said
"WHAT! How dare you! My breast is just fine thank you!"
"But it appears to be fake..."
"That's it!" Lina said, chanting an ancient language as her hands starts to glow. "Dragon Slave!!" she roared, burning the grunt with her powerful fire spell. The grunt collapse to his death, then rise again, pleading 'brains!'
"Lina Inverse, your not suppose to kill the people who your about to talk to, even if they would insulted you! Your suppose to consult them, not eradicate them!" MegaAuthor (me) said with a director hat on
"Sorry, won't happen again!" she said innocently, casting a small thunder spell and zap the grunt again. "Oops" she add.
"This fic is going mad..." the camera men said silently
------------------------------------------------
As the gang fight on, more and more unknown creature surface, attacking Marco and the gang. Ralf bravely attack firing his pistol as he walk towards the alien, with Marco and Tarma gives a covering fire for Ralf. Clark, Eri and Fio is also busy collecting weapons and grenades for themselves when Ralf went nuts again, pulling out Vulcan Punch like mad, charging towards the unknown creature. Marco and the others try to follow their mad friend, when Ralf picked up a Zangetsu Sword halfway up on the street.
"What kind of weapon is this?" he said, curiously he swing lightly, creating a wave like blade. In an instant, he said slowly and softly. "Shiny weapon, uhh..."
Out of nowhere, a jeep appears with a mounted machine gun appears in front of Ralf. As the jeep about to ram over him, Ralf dodge over it and fire his pistol, but the jeep does a U-turn, fire several series of shots and speed it's way towards Ralf. He panic and unleash a set of Zangetsu sword wave, thus destroying the jeep in a series of slicing action. Fanatic about this new weapon, he gone nuts again, waving the weapon so much that he didn't notice he just destroyed the two more jeep in the process. When Marco and the rest finally arrive (due the fact that Ralf rush off without killing the creature, Marco and the gang had to deal with the creature), Ralf is still having fun waving the weapon like mad.
"Oh my god, he's gone nuts." Tarma said, watching Ralf dance with the weapon in hand.
"Oh my god, he's insane." Eri said, watching Ralf pull out a classic Chinese kung fu imitation.
"Oh my god! He's heading towards us!" Clark replied, seeing Ralf running at them as he swing the Zangetsu sword.
"THERE IS NO RALF, ONLY ZANGETSU!!" Ralf cried madly, charging towards his comrades.
"Something tells me we're not going to enjoy this trip if Ralf keep on having a mad desire to go out melee!" Marco said aloud.
-------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile in the TV station again...
"Hello and welcome back, due to the grunt evil behaviour, we have sentence him to his epic death, to another game universe where he will die miserably."
Showing the grunt been sent to a teleport chamber and sent him to random game dimension. He wave at the crowd happily, saying that his been send to Counter-Strike world.
"Now that the grunt is away, far away from the here, lets meet another survivor from the onslaught attack from the Regular army, the green alien, Martians!" Lina said happily.
The Martians suddenly appears and accidentally kills several Regular troops without notice. It squire itself towards the sofa and simple stare at the mop next to it mysteriously.
"So, Mr. Martian, how are you?"
"I'm quite fine Earthlings. You people have heal me with odd drinks and pills. Somehow I'm getting addicted by this strange pill I'm having right now." the Martian said, pulling out a strange white with a teddy bear design pill and pop it into it's mouth.
"One question, did you or did you not used Morden for..."
"WORLD DOMINATION!!! MUA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Morden suddenly scream again as he woke up, forcing the Regular army to beat the crap out of Morden again.
"...Err, like he said" Lina said.
"Right, actually, we weren't here to invade Earth, properly speaking, we're just here to cleanse the world of evil things and such, like war, soldiers and noisy vehicles, maybe some annoying humans as well." the Martian said, popping another but different pill into his mouth "Hmm, this pill is really strange, now I feel dizzy."
"So, what your doing is actually like come here and get rid of bad things right?"
"Exactly, Morden here is doing some of this plan, while my brother and I devise a plan to ship the remaining humans to it's... err peaceful ways." the Martian said, waving left to right "ohh... is there actually three of you? Why is my head start to spin? Why am I seeing stars so early and so bright?"
"Perhaps its the pills... err drug your eating." Lina said
"Nonsense! The pill make me... err... wannamakeitout?" the Martian begin to hallucinate.
"Err... excuse me?"
"I said... wanna make it out hotty?" said the Martian, squiring towards Lina, holding her down.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
"He he he, pretty... woah..."
(The following scene is censored due to some heavily and hardcore +18 is illegal in this fic. MegaAuthor apologize for everyones behave, well, on with the stories!)
----------------------------------------------------------
While Marco and the gang manage to control Ralf down, Eri went postal in return, throwing her grenade left and right. The reason is simple, they were surrounded by freakish alien, and with a freak out Eri when postal, the guys are forced to lay low, hopefully not being blown apart or been caught in the blast.
"This is crazy, first Ralf is fine, now Eri when postal about!" Clark said, carrying Ralf with a huge bump with stars going round and round on his head, obviously been knock out cold.
"Well, with her grenade stock that plenty, it did a good job forcing those aliens at bay, we maybe able to rethink about our strategy." Marco said, adding another clip of ammo from the fallen Morden troops.
"Can't we just tell her to stop?" Clark said
"Nope, the last time she went postal, she throws all her grenade at the gigantic machine, which it engulf in flames in seconds, we told her to stop even when the machine is burn to dust, and then she target us as well!" Fio answered
"Then she's as mad as Leona during that time..." Clark said, remember the horror he and Ralf face against Orochi Leona.
"Well, we can't just leave her here." Fio said.
"You guys go ahead." Tarma spoke out, pulling out a heavy machine gun, "I'll go 'talk' to her."
"Tarma, are you sure?" Marco said
"Go captain. Eri may hate me, but that doesn't mean she going to kill me for it." Tarma said. He stood up with his weapon ready.
"Right, move out!" Marco command. While Clark and Ralf (who finally woke up) follow Marco, Fio stood there, as she watch Tarma run towards the smoking thick cloud and into the abyss. She pulls out her heavy machine gun, her thought went wild, either helping him or abandon him? She can't make a decision when Marco called her in the distance.
"Tarma..." Fio said softly. "Please come back alive..."
----------------------------------------------------------
Background Theme Song: Unavoidable Duel
----------------------------------------------------------
As Tarma with his Heavy Machine gun at the ready, he approach towards an area where the ground is been smoothed by hand grenade thrown by Eri. He walk softly when he glimpse upon a shadow. Since he is wearing his sun glasses and thick smoke covering his view, he can't make it out what this shadow is. The minute he heard a click, Tarma drop down as fast as he could when a gun shot whiz through his ears. He got up just in time to jump back when a couple of grenade were thrown by Eri. It explode, but missed Tarma entirely.
"Eri! Stop this foolishness now!" Tarma said, taking cover at the nearby block. There is a long silent before the the side wall snapped when Tarma take a peek.
"Eri! Can you hear me? Talk to me!" Tarma said again.
"Why..."
"...?"
"Why did you even bother coming back for me?" Eri said, but she is nowhere to be seen.
"What are you saying? We're a team, we fight Morden each other, we fight our way towards Morden stronghold, we save Marco together!" Tarma yelled. There is a long silent again. Tarma got out from his hiding, walk slowly towards the abyss.
Frustrate, he yelled aloud to get her attention. "Bitch!"
A bullet whiz through Tarma's ankle, he groan in pain. He returns fire, a groan from Eri can be heard in return. Tarma try to stood up when unexpectedly a rocket launcher came zooming at him. Tarma quickly duck down and fire again, another groan respond from Eri. After a while, she begins to moan in pain, and Tarma slowly crawl towards her according to her moaning. When she finally reach her, she was crying, her leg and shoulder are bleeding. Tarma pull out his long handkerchief from his beg and tied her bleeding leg. She resist Tarma's help when the shady geek slap her face, obviously trying to 'wake' her up.
"Eri, I know it hurts, but you could always have someone to cry for."
"I wasn't crying because of you, jerk."
"Huh?"
"I cry because... no one ever came back for me. No one. I always go solo, that's why I'm mad, but... now... I feel calm." Eri said.
"... Your not the only one." Tarma replied. "I was once like you, but with Marco around, I'm always calm. Forget your old motto 'live alone die alone' stuff. It never works" Tarma said, pulling a short smile. "Can you stand?" he added
"Do I get treated better if I could?"
"Sure, why not?" Tarma said, "After all, if you die, what will become of me? I couldn't argue the bitch I like anymore." he grin when Eri punch him hard.
"What was that for!?" Tarma asked furiously, but Eri giggle childishly. She lean against Tarma shoulder, crossing her arm on his romantically and said nothing other than four words.
"I hate you jerk"
Suddenly as the cloud of debris lower down, perhaps million creature surrounded Eri and Tarma, sliming away and roared at them. Tarma pull out his Heavy Machine gun while Eri pull out her pistol. Tarma hand over Eri a Firebomb, said he picked up just a while ago and hand over a shotgun to her as well. With their safety trigger now lowered down, the two geek shady and bomb queen ready for anything.
"Ready to rumble, bitch?"
"Ready as you are, jerk."
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the TV station, after the Regular army manage to pull out the Martian which has been 'attach' with Lina, the show must go on... or so it goes.
"Good afternoon everyone, after the ferocious alien attack me, it is now save to say that I'm okay! Now that all those goofy character is out of the way..."
Just a thought, several troops wearing a Soviet uniform storm in the studio and march to the next studio, with small robotic drone and a ferocious looking K9 follows the troops, a theme 'Hell March 2' can be heard as they crash to yet another studio. The auctions were dumbfounder by the marching Soviet troops, even Lina was surprise.
"... Let's continue," she said, sweating a while, "Since General Morden is now up and well, we'll be interviewing him right away! Mr. Morden?
"Ouch..." Morden respond, obviously someone left him on the floor there when the Soviet troops march over him.
"Morden? Why are you sleeping on the floor when the Soviet march over you?"
"The Soviet did WHAT?"
"Err... march right over you..."
"Don't they know who I am? I am Morden! General Morden! The Devil Rebirth himself!"
"Right, well, I have a few question sir Morden"
"Speak quickly, I have a nation to run and country to take over" Morden said proudly
"Well, why did you join the Rebellion when you we're the top officer in the Regular army?"
"Well my dear, I join them because of the intelligent center were too dump and extremely unpredictable. They're carelessness has killed my son! My only son who love me even when I look like Osama Bin Ladin!(No offence, but Morden DOES look like him, minus the headband o.O). That's why I felt and join the Rebellion to have my revenge!" Morden said
"Wow, who would have thought that the Regular army's intelligent agent were so bad? But won't it be dangerous to attack them?"
"Nope, after several attempts, I found out that their weakness comes from their own technology, which me and the grunt manage to steal these plans and and create a weapon of mass destruction using the Regulars own technology from scratch. It's easy, yet effective."
"And yet you were defeated by a small medium weight tank known as the SV-001 a.k.a Metal Slug... interesting."
"Well, the Regular army did a good job creating a tank barely the same height as a man, but yeah, it pack quite some punches." Morden said, rubbing his chin. "Heard they are creating a newer Slug, mimicking our LV Rebel armor. Can't they have anything better to do than to mimic our technology?"
"Well you did mimic the Slugnoid, which in turn you created the LV armor based on the Slugnoid. I can't see why they can't create a Slug based on your LV rebel armor." Lina said
"Great, the war of copycat begins..." Morden said in regret. "Are we done? I was suppose to tell the authorities something, extremely important information."
"Yes, we're done. Next time, we'll be interviewing Zelda, the princess who always get her sorry ass captured by bad guys. Until then, this is Lina Inverse, good night."

Background Theme Song: BioToxic
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As the team head down sewers main line, battling horde after horde of aliens, they reach to an area where the sewer line is wider and larger. At the first glance, they are now on the waste disposal sewer. The area is offended with foul smell and stomach turning odour. Fio, who is still worried about the safety of Tarma or her partner Eri back then, they haven't return yet.
"Man, should had eaten that Chinese noodle back up there...(burp!)" Marco said.
"Well, the alien is now annihilated, Mission ac..."
Before Clark finish his sentence, a slight tremor begins to rock the waste disposal sewer, the water reacted, making waves as each tremor erupted, as if something is approaching towards them. Before they knew, they heard a robotic-like sound and massive sound of electricity sparks could be heard, echoes within the sewer line. The team slowly turn back, and were horrified what they saw. A machine towering almost as high as the sewer's ceiling, a gigantic set of claws and a brain with eyeballs inside the a fish bowl. Fio fainted at first sight which Marco caught her. Clark and Ralf simple shake their knees, looking at the monster, which it looked back.
"Uhh... Marco? What are we going to do?" Clark said, pulling out a Flameshot.
"We do whatever we always do, but I have never seen something like this..." Marco confess, trying to wake Fio up.
"Looks like we're pretty screwed up. That monster just block the only path out." Ralf replied.
The monster then starts to march forward, splitting plasma orb as it goes. Marco finally wake Fio up while Ralf and Clark open fire their weapon. The machine keep on walking towards them when Ralf goes up front and was about to pulls out his famous Vulcan Punch when the horrifying machine duck down and does a claw attack, knocking Ralf down. Clark saw his partner is down, he quickly goes to him, grab his neck collar and pull him out when the machine nearly squish Ralf under it's feet. Macro concentrate fire along with Fio to keep the monster at bay, firing their pistol weapon. The machine set loose a series of plasma orb and starts to decent towards them. Marco and the remaining team dodge and evade the attack when the machine suddenly opens a hatch in his stomach and ready to fire when his shoulder suddenly been hit by a cannon shell, forcing the machine to back down a little, followed by a series of fire bomb, stunning it as it engulf in flame. Marco, Fio, Clark and the quite unconscious Ralf stare behind. Another machine with two robotic legs, armed with twin Vulcan and a cannon folder with a person riding on it with another person stood there next to it, both of them look familiar.
"Hey guys, look what I found!" Tarma said, riding the Slug Gunner.
"Tarma, Eri! We thought you're are dead!"
"Hey, can't you guys have a little fate in us?" Eri said, scratching her head. "Fio, catch!" she add
Fio caught a weapon briefcase and open it, she never seen this weapon before, with two similar machine gun in it. She wield it out, trying to familiarize it. "What is it?"
"It's called Duel Machine Gun, greater cousin of Heavy Machine Gun. I like to use it, but I know your a weapon specialist. Don't worry, a little fire bomb here and there will make a whole lot difference!" Eri replied.
"Where did you found it?"
"When I went into the maintenance chamber, I found the weapon crate contain lots of cool weapons, but this one in particular is special when I had to go to the bathroom." Eri said
"Huh?" Fio replied with confusion
"I found it inside the toilet bowl..." Eri confessed, making Fio squeal aloud.
"Hi Captain, wanna ride?" Tarma said, but Marco shock his head.
"You know I'm not quite good with a Slug, but thanks anyway. Let's go!"
When the machine finally put himself out, it started to go berserk, stomping the ground and created a shockwave. The machine starts to go haywire, and the number of plasma orbs flooded the ceiling and the machine starts to produce lighting effect on it's claws. Not taking any chances, Marco team up with Ralf and Fio, firing their weapon in their hands, Fio switch her pistol to duel Machine Gun and fires away, producing a stream of bullets piercing through it's armor. Eri, Clark and Tarma fires away their weapon as well, with Clark bravely attack it with a stream of Flameshot followed by Eri's Firebomb and back the monster down a little with cannon blast on it's torso followed by a hail of Vulcan shots. The abomination begins to go up in smoke, and with a desperate attempt, it opens up his belly again, but this time, Ralf is ready for it.
"Well, now, guess you busy with that attack eh? Feel the power of my VULCAN PUNCH!!!" he roared, punching it violently at the machine several series of strong punches until it explode, it's body metal started to melt and it's 'head' explode, releasing it's brain and eyeballs out. It lay down in defeat, dead in it's track.
---------------------------------------
As Marco and the rest of the gang came out from the sewers line, they were ambush by a large number of Morden's men, armed themselves with guns, copter, tanks and even the Martian are now on their side. Marco and the team looked at one another, they're been surrounded by surprise.
"Let me guess, your here to kill us?" Marco said.
"No, we're here to kill the Unknown, Regular elite." a grunt said.
"Unknown? Those things are named Unknown?" Tarma said.
"We require your help, such skill can be wasted if we kill you. If you like, we require a men with your skill to help fight off the Unknown." the grunt said. "and recaptured Morden back."
"That won't do. None of us will agree with that." Marco answered
"No? Well, since you put it this way, how about this, you will either recapture our leader or we'll destroy the Regular Army HQ with 2000 MK-II Connor Tank, with more than 2000 cannon shells blast the base to smithereens, along with the Project SV-001, and there is nothing you could stop them." the grunt threaten them. (This incident happen in Metal Slug 2006).
"You won't!" Eri cried.
"Who's afraid now, Regular Elite?" the grunt snared at Marco and the gang.
"What are we going to do Captain?" Tarma asked.
"..."
