Entering the Wolf's Den
After the brief rest they had taken, Snake and Samus continued down the hall they were previously traveling down. Their original mission was totally expanded into a full new operation, which included stopping another Subspace invasion, defeat Master Hand, and free Mr. Game and Watch. There was still other personal objectives that had to be taken care of as well, namely eliminating Liquid Snake, and/or Revolver Ocelot on Snake's part, and ending the SPC presence in this area on Samus's part.
They were almost down the hall when Snake's codec went off; Snake got down on one knee and answered it.
"What is it Otacon?" Snake asked.
"Snake we just picked up a distress signal from somewhere inside the castle," Otacon replied.
"A distress call from somewhere inside the castle?" Snake said questioned, "We don't have any other operatives here, do we?"
"Not that I know of, the distress call itself doesn't even sound like one of ours".
Samus, who had been listening in on the whole conversation replied, "Maybe it's a Galactic Federation signal".
"Did you catch that Otacon," Snake asked the scientist.
"It's quite possible, I'll transfer the signal over to Mei Ling, but in the mean time, there is someone in this castle that needs your help, plus they might prove to be of some use to us," Otacon stated.
"So where is the signal coming from?" Snake questioned.
"It is directly down the hall you are currently traveling down, and to the left," Otacon informed him before shutting off his codec.
Snake turned to Samus and said "Well you heard the man; there is someone here in this castle that needs our help". Samus nodded and the two headed down the hall to find the source of the distress call.
Wolf smirked to himself as he activated his communicator. He was greeted by the person on the other line with a "Yes".
"That codec device that you gave me worked like a charm, I used the device to listen in on their chatter and it seems they are following a distress call from somewhere inside the castle, they are going to have to pass through here to get any further, putting them directly into my trap," Wolf informed Liquid.
"Excellent work Wolf, be sure not to spill their blood across the room you destroy them in, we don't want to anger our host," Liquid said sadistically. "As for that distress call I'll personally look into it myself".
Wolf gave an evil laugh, "I'll try my best not to, but when I do finish them off you still have to keep up your end of the bargain".
"Yes, yes, I know, once when we gain our new kingdoms that Master Hand promised us, you gain some of my territory, and I'll be sure to give you enough money to fill your pockets for a long time," Liquid said annoyed.
Wolf turned off his communicator, and said to himself "Now its time to play the waiting game," and before he knew it his prey had just entered his trap.
Snake and Samus had just entered the room where the distress signal was originated from. They were surprised that the room itself wasn't what they expected, but very different. The room looked like a giant metal pit with high walls with railing along the edges.
"Where is the operative?" Samus questioned as she looked around the pit they were currently confined to.
Before he could respond the sound of footsteps were heard on the area above them. They aimed their guns in the direction of the sound, and they saw the wolf-man from the conference.
"What are you doing here?" Snake demanded.
"My business is my business Solid Snake," the wolf-man replied.
"You know me?" the mercenary said confused about how the wolf-man knew his identity.
"My employer told me all about you, by the way the name is Wolf O, Donnell, and remember this I'll be the one … to take you down," Wolf said while clawing the air and then making a pose.
Snake kept his SOCOM aimed at Wolf as the beast turned his gaze towards Samus.
"Samus Aran I presume," Wolf questioned. "Believe me you are wasting your time, you can't defeat the entire SPC all by yourself, even with your little boyfriend's help, the SPC has more than it needs to defeat you, and combined with Master Hand's powers, you are no match".
Samus remained silent and kept her eyes on Wolf.
Wolf's lips curved into a small grin as he reached for his blaster and said, "Now, enough talk prepare to die," as he fired several shots at Snake. Snake rolled to the side and returned fire.
Wolf cart wheeled away to the side and clicked a button on his wrist and said "We're gonna have fun with this thing," and a red land master burst through the doors below Wolf, and ended up in front of Snake and Samus.
Samus turned to Snake and said, "I'll go after Wolf, you take care of the tank," as she used her whip to grab onto the railing above.
Snake turned to the tank and took out his Nikita missile launcher, and aimed at the tank. He was about to fire when the tank fired at Snake's feet, knocking him down, and separating him from his missile launcher.
Samus ran towards Wolf as he fired his blaster at her. She jumped over the shot and thrust her plasma whip forward, knocking Wolf down to the floor in the process, she was about to follow up with a kick, but Wolf was fast enough to get up in time and hit her in the stomach knocking her back a bit, he then delivered a claw swipe to Samus's shoulder.
Wolf charged at Samus to attack her again, but she slashed her whip forward hitting him in the chest. Wolf growled in pain from that last blow, and he reached for his blaster and fired it at her hand, knocking the whip away. Samus was about to try and pick up her whip, but Wolf fired his blaster to prevent her, so she charged at Wolf unarmed to continue their battle.
Snake growled to himself as he rolled out of the way, from another blast from the land master, "This is taking too long". Snake ran towards the tank, and threw a grenade into the barrel of the gun, and when it detonated the gun was destroyed. The tank then charged at Snake in an attempt to run him over, but Snake dodged just in time, and the tank ended up getting stuck in the wall.
Snake immediately ran towards the side of the tank and put a C4 explosive on its treads, and once he got to a safe distance he detonated it stopping the tank from moving. He them immediately ran to where he dropped his Nikita. He then picked it up, aimed, and fired, destroying the tank in the process.
As soon as he was certain the tank was destroyed, he ran over to the wall, and used his cypher to fly up on top of the wall where Samus and Wolf were fighting.
Samus and Wolf were currently locked in a bitter struggle each one trying to gain the upper hand on the other, they were currently circling each other waiting for the one of them to make a move, until Snake arrived on his cypher tipping the balance into Samus's favor.
Wolf looked carefully at the odds stacked before him; it was a two on one battle with little hope of winning on his part. He decided to take out Snake, and then flee to inform Liquid of Snake's death and getting his award. Wolf took out his blaster and fired multiple times at Snake, who dodged several of them but one grazed him in the leg. Snake winced in pain but remained standing.
As soon as he noticed Snake's temporary distraction, Wolf charged at him, but at the last second changed his target to Samus, and kicked her in the stomach. Samus recoiled in pain from the blow, but she recovered fast enough, to counter his next blow with a sweep kick, and then a crescent kick. Wolf immediately got up and charged at Samus, but once again at the last second changed his direction towards Snake and jumped. Snake saw him coming so he thrust his foot up in the air hitting Wolf. Wolf recovered too fast for Snake to react, and did a somersault kick knocking Snake dangerously close to the edge of the railing.
Samus ran at Wolf in an attempt to help Snake, but Wolf turned around and shot her in the shoulder with his blaster, and then kicked her. He then turned around to Snake who was getting back up from the previous attack; Wolf ran towards Snake and thrust his palm into Snake's chest knocking him over the railing.
"SNAKE!" Samus shouted as she got up off the ground.
Snake cried out in pain when he hit the ground, feeling as if he had broken more than a few bones. Snake tried to fight the pain, and the oncoming blackness.
Samus looked in Wolf's direction, who was laughing to himself, "That award is as good as mine now".
Samus reached for her paralyzer, and grabbed it and then set it to stun. She aimed it at Wolf's back, charged it and fired.
When the shot hit Wolf, he felt his whole body go numb, and he couldn't move. He than heard the sound of someone running, and then felt a burning pain in his back as he was struck down, when the stun effect wore off, he turned around to see Samus coming toward him with a vengeful expression on her face. Wolf fired his blaster at Samus, but she jumped over the shot, and used her whip to grab the blaster out of Wolf's hand, she then knocked him to the ground and put the heel of her boot to his throat and demanded,
"That's why you did all of this, all for the sake of a REWARD!"
Wolf remained silent with only one thought on his mind, to report back to Liquid. Samus picked Wolf up by his throat, put him against the wall, and aimed her gun at his head. She didn't notice Wolf take something out of his belt, and throw it on the ground creating a smokescreen.
Samus began coughing, and she tried to bat away the smoke when she heard Wolf say, "We'll meet again Samus Aran, count on it," and when the smoke cleared Wolf was gone.
Samus ran over to the railing and hopped over it, landing next to the burning heap of Wolf's tank, she ran over to where Snake was and she put her hand behind his head.
"Snake," she said worriedly.
"Heart containers," Snake choked out pointing to his equipment.
Samus searched through his equipment, and took out several heart containers. She took them over to Snake, and applied them to his rib cage, head, back, and legs. When she finished applying the heart containers, Samus heard Snake mutter in a barely audible tone,
"Thank you … Samus".
"It was nothing; after all you helped me before, besides I'm just returning the favor," Samus said relieved that Snake was alright. Snake nodded before passing out.
Samus sighed, happy that Snake was alive, and angry that Wolf had escaped.
"Wolf, you filthy mongrel, we will meet again, but next time you won't get away," Samus thought as she stood against the wall, waiting for Snake to wake up.
AN: This chapter did not come out as good as I expected it, but it still came out somewhat good. I forgot to mention this in the story but the tank Snake fought was AI controlled. Just mentioning it to clear up any left out info. As for the distress call mentioned, it will be explained when another character is introduced on Snake and Samus's side in the next chapter.
