Snake had heard The Boss describe what being shot was like. She said it was like thirty punches in the arm times ten.
Snake was actually curious as to what she meant about that, and almost wanted to find out. He wished he hadn't. In reality, the sight was worse than the pain; seeing your body be ripped open by a small
metal thing was not very pretty. Blood was gushing out of Snake's leg, soaking his olive drab with a sickening red.
He ran for cover, trying as best he could to not upset his injured leg, which was failing, each step sending a fresh shockwave of pain through his leg. Snake dove under the Phantom and applied pressure to his leg while looking for the sniper. Minutes had gone by, and Snake noticed something. There were no more gunshots. Nervously, Snake crawled out from the jet, keeping ina position where he could get backe under cover if the sniper fired again. Minutes went by. Still cuatiously taking it, Snake got up and limped to the door. He turned the rusty knob and pushed, but the door did not open.
"Locked!" Snake growled. How would he get through? He couldn't turn back now, after being this far. Besides, he didn't know how to get back. Snake looked around the outside walls looking for a hole in thhe wall, or something to get him in. Luckily, there was a ladder leading to the roof, which was only abou fifteen feet up. He hopped up, climbing with one leg to make it easier on his leg. It took an effort to get on the top, but he got there.
The building, Snake discovered, was a lot bigger than what he expected. It stretched for at least a half mile, and the same for the width. He went in the same direction he was headed, looking for a way into the building. He was on the roof for minutes before finding a way. Quickly he opened the hatch, but froze when he heard a gun load.
Slowly he looked at the shooter, hoping to see who would kill him.
It was Eva.
"Eva! Where have you been! Who were you talking to?" Snake blurted, moving closer to Eva.
"She didn't respond, but instead pointed the gun at his head.
"What the.. Eva!"
Again, she said nothing. Instead the booming voice from before spoke.
"Good work, Eva. You beat the best. Truly an accomplishment."
The man was huge, at least 6' 4, and had a strange electricity on him.
He looked at Snake with a weird look.
"Where are my manners? I am Volgin, the head of this "simulation", if you will."
"What are you talking about?" Snake demanded.
"This," he said, gesturing with his arms. "This place."
"What simulation?"
"This was all fake. a test. And thanks to Eva, you will prabably die."
Snake looked at Eva, who was slightly sobbing.
"What? This was all fake!?" Snake questioned.
"Eva, I tire of this. Terminate him." Said Volgin.
Eva stepped close and said in barely a whisper, "Come back for me. Help. Save me."
"Eva!"
"No!" Eva yelled.
Volgin, infuriated, bellowed "The deal has been broken! You will suffer!"
Snake saw he was going towards Eva, and Snake shouldered his rifle and fired.
Volgin stopped in his tracks, enraged.
"You first, then!"
Volgin punched Snake in the stomach at the speed of lihjt, knocking him out instantly. As he hit the ground, he tried to evaluate what happened.
He woke uop in a bed in a room he recognized as Espionage Academy's clinic.
"Damn it!"
