A/N: It would help you understand this chapter if you watch the show "Dogfights." If you don't, start. It's on the history channel at 10.
Since his first, Snake had loved rollercoasters. The stomach jump. the G- force pulling on him, and everything. The second Snake was high up, he realized it would be like a roller coaster with no limits.
It was a long way to Nevada, so Snake decided to have a littele fun. He climbed a couple thousand feet to save fuel. After he thought he was high enough, he jerked at the control stick, sending him into a tight barrel roll. Instantly he flipped sideways, hurling through the sky. Snake released the stick and righted the plane.
He cried with euphoria. Snake then realized he would be stuck in a plane for at least a couple hours with nothing to do. Already he began to get bored. He looked at all of the instruments with no real care. He lazily hit the rudder pedals, zipping left and right. As he continued to look at the instruments, when he noticed a slight beeping. He looked in one of the specially made mirrors that showed him the radar screen. There was a dot, closing in fast on his 4 o' clock.
Snake turned around, a little panicky. And there it was.
A MiG 21. :What's a MiG doing in America?!" Snake asked himself. It was camoed like Snake's, and the missiles were gleaming. Snake's mind was racing. Was the MiG close enough to shoot him with a missile? How would he get away? Would he have to dogfight?
Snake looked around again. It wasn't quite close enough to get a lock, but it could easily catch up if Snake didn't do something.
The MiG started firing its machine guns, trying to scare Snake into slipping, but he was to smart. Since the MiG was far away, the bullets wouldn't come near him. But now the MiG was closing in. Snake knew he could fire a missile.
Snake pulled the stick so he dove in a sharp turn. The MiG followed, not missing a beat. Snake pulled the stick the other way, slowing him down, and The MiG overshot. Snake dove after him and searched for the trigger. He put his finger on it, waiting for a lock. Snake was almost going 90 degrees straight down, prepared to fire, when the MiG suddenly pulled up, escaping Snake. Distracted, Snake did not notice how low he had descended, but did so right in time. He jerked the stick as hard as he could towards him, laying a gruesome high- G manuever.
He felt like his face would be pulled off. Dazed, Snake looked for the MiG. He looked all around, but it was nowhere.
And then more gunfire sounded behind him, this time screaming right over his cockpit. Becuase the pull Snake did, The MiG overshot again, and Snake shoved the throttle forward. A staticky sound came into his headset, and he had a missile lock. Without hesitation, Snake pulled the trigger. A missile instantly screamed away from the right wing, and the MiG was totally destroyed.
Snake dodged the debris, his plane rocked from turbulence.
Just as he was about to relax, three more MiGs had appeared, coming straight at him. Snake instantly thought of a badassed trick. He would fire a missile right into one of the MiG's cockpit. Even without a lock, it would still run right into it, like an explosive bullet.
The MiGs were closing faster and faster, getting closer and closer. Snake waited for the perfect moment. One MiG started firing, but Snake ignored it. He waited until he was about a thousand feet away, then fired a missile and did a Split S, (watch the show or read a book to find out) and dove to the ground, the metal flying past his left wing.
And not only did he take out an enemy, he lined up another shot. With the decreased sped from the dive, when he climbed back up, he was right behind the other MiG.
It was a perfect shot. The static rang in the headset and he fired. He thought the MiG would explode, but it was smart. It knew exactly when to dive. Its dive took on to many G's for the missile to follow. Instead, it hit the MiG in front of it.
"Whoa!" Snake yelled.
With no time to think, he done after the MiG, but it wasn't there. Snake pulled up and frantically looked for it.
To his mis fortune, it was right behind him, in perfect range for a missile. Snale said his prayers and thought about what would the impact be like. He was prepared for it.
He looked in the rear view mirror and saw the missile fire. He saw it come at him. But it never hit. The missile went ballistic.
Snake almost cried with relief. And he took it to hs advantage. Snake knew the pilot would be distracted, so he yanked the throttle back and instantly slowed down. The MiG shot over his head, and Snake threw the trottle forward again.
He was in the right range, but he didn't have a lock. He had missiles left. What was up?
The MiG had realized what happedned and was starting to try to escape. Snake decide to just fire and hope for the best.
When he pulled the trigger, a missile from the left wing shot, and Snake didn't think it would hit, but at the last second, the MiG turned into it, not noticing it and exploded. Snake yelled in victory.
And then more MiGs came. And more.
"This sucks"
