Chapter 4: Solid sun
South America AO, 1:30AM, Snake has just infiltrated into his area of operation to search for Katsura in hope that she would provide him with important background information of MechaGodzilla 2's scheme and details. At first he witnesses a brigade of PMCs are rounding up the local militia, the head of this elite brigade is Drachev, a former Voron agent who is enhance by Nano-machines in which rendered him now is an immortal-like fighter when nothing can kill him whether it's bullet or the blade. Drachev was a Caucasian child who's parent died in a car bombing at the church where they were praying.
To keep himself alive, Drachev have drink the blood of his parents to keep him safe from cold of the moutains, that's when he has a taste for blood but he also left orphanage and brutally traumatized by wars and killing. Now he is wearing his brown Khaki uniform with a badge of MG2's corporation with a Balaclava mask on him with a Russian made Mk2 Sonar Goggle.
"Snake, its Drachev, I can't believe that he is still alive, is he truly immortal?" exclaimed dr Yuhara for he is too surprise that how could a man can withstand bullets going through his head and stands up like nothing happen. "Oracle, are you kidding? This aint no fantasy RPG game, nobody can live forever." Snake stated back at dr Yuhara. Snake then saw a female operative next to Drachev, she wore a specialized combat suit with tentacle like weapons, she reminds him a lot about dr Octopus of Spider Man.
It's Octopussy, the stealth expert of the beauty and the beast corp. Snake watches on as she interrogate the prisoner with full terror as her weapon, "Remember this face." She said to one of the prisoner as she uses her Facecamo to show the face of Snake. Then she use her 'tentacles' to rides on the Stryker IFV, then Snake prey up on the remaining mercenaries. Like a predator that prowls its prey, he slowly drop down to the encampment unnoticed, he uses the shadows and his OctoCamo to ambush lone mercenaries patroling the dark corners, combined with his transquilizer pistol, the mercenaries were beginning to feel nervous, frightenned by who was stalking them. Soon only four remain to guard the prisoners, they fan out and looking around, trying to spot where is the intruder. But while they were occupied with watch out for the intruder, their prisoners were free by slowly pick the lock on their handcuffs. The prisoners then storm their capturers using sheer numbers, they soon victorious. Snake cameout of hiding, giving them naked guns and some equipment and the group head out to the main facility of the mercs.
First they came across another group of rebels, the rebels then launch a surprise attack at the power station that their enemies use as a forward supply point, the rebels were ill trained, soon the mercenaries were chopping down the attackers number by the second with supports from a Stryker APC and a unmanned combat helicopter above. Snake avoid the confrontation and flanked around the two sides, he slowly crawl in the grass and made out of the combat zone to the mansion.
He suddenly got a call from Igharashi, "Snake, I want you to meet your psychologist counselor Rachael Migrant." Igharashi introduced Snake to familiar face, Rachael, an anthro-morphic wolf from Dagestan moon of the far reached of the universe. Rachael and Snake met each other a while back when Snake starts to recruited Wolfhound as his sidekick, since then Rachael look up to Snake as a savior and big brother.
"Snake I think you should know that Justin, he, well, starts to remember the memories of the Vortagg when he got kidnapped and turn into the robotic wolf, (Snake starts to remember that flashback, years ago.) he starts to distant away from me. He began take more mission than ever and he doesn't even care to talk to me anymore when i lied to him that i have his brother as my husband.
He even still remember how the Big Shell tanker incident cause to him, those memories started to resurfacing in his mind and now he is drifting apart from me. That's why I decided to became a counselor to help people overcome their horrid past. Hope that you could help him come back to me so that he could move on to a better live."
"Right, got it, I'll help you in any way I can." Snake then end the call to move up forward, he then received another call from agent Wolfhound, "Snake, I'm tracking the traces of a resistance group, it appears that these guys, are possessing the corpse of Snake Eyes."
"Snake Eyes! The fame operative back in the cold war. What does this dead agent have to do with this whole mess?" Asked Snake.
"I don't know, but I think If i could get a hold on the leader of the resistance group, I could find some info, they call her Matka Pluku, or Big Mama." Answered Wolfhound.
"Hmm, I'll look into it, Rachael just call me to tell you, that she wanted you to come back for her, she's pregnant." Said Snake, "She doesn't exist in my world, my place is here on the battlefield. But tell her that someday, I'll be back for her." Replied Wolfhound.
Then Snake continue to make his way to the villa, where he saw a ferocious battle between the rebels and the mercenaries, Snake took his opportunity to enter a secret tunnel to the court yard of the villa. Snake got up and then he starts to snooping around the garden, Snake took out a few guards with his CQC technique, some of the guards were taken completely by surprise when they saw him grab their weapons, flipping it to his side and usse the barrel to hit his opponent's heart and pull the trigger of his own weapon. He continues to fight his way through the building's interiors and make it to the wooden house in the garden. The wall near the house was filled with artificial roses, blue roses. He saw Katsura was walking around talking with someone on the phone. He press his body to the wall and slowly moving along it to the door. Snake come in to the house, stealthily open the door in order not to make the renegade MechaGodzilla realize that the hideout in South America has been compromised. "Snake. I figure that you could find me easily." Stunned Katsura, she just couldn't believe that he was standing behind her back for five minutes without her notice.
"Katsura, it's been a long time. But I'm gonna cut to the chase, what the hell is MechaGodzilla 2 is upto this time?" Asked Snake. Katsura replied, "He is planning to take total control of the massive mercenary armies. To do this he have to analyze the Nano-machines colonies and how they communicate with one another. He's planning to create a a new AI call GD to take control of the SOP system while he's slowly destroying the old AI, JD."
"But wasn't he is the creator of the Nano-machines and supplied them to the military worldwide." Asked Snake.
"Yes, but the Nano-machines that the military use this time is the third generation, their design are also drastically different from the ones that he use inside his body." Katsura explained to Snake the reason why MechaGodzilla 2 would be trying to analyze the design of the current Nano-machines generation. "Katusra, what happened to the soldiers back in the Middle East warzone?" He asked curiously, his face was showing sighs of mistrust. "They were disconnected to SOP. At first we thought it was designed for firearms and military hardwares control, but we were partially correct. It was also created to control the soldier's emotions on the battlefield." Katsura replied with a grim answer.
"Emotion control?" Snake asked another question. "You see: The soldier engage in combat action will suffer from stresses and emotions disorder, the number of enemies that he killed, the comrades that lost and the genocidal actions, it was all edged firmly in their hearts, and so SOP was created to suppressthe emotions of a soldier by Nano machines. In that way, the soldiers will be extremely calm in battle but also at the same time, it will also exact a heavy burden on his heart. When he retired from combat operations, the Nano machines will be extracted from his body, and the emotions that was suppressed in his heart will be unleash unchecked, it will drive him to insane by personality disorders and uncontrolable rage. It will also took him a very extensive time to counsolate or even permanently." Katsura explained the details to Snake.
"What about the thing you said about my DNA back at Shadow Moses?" Snake asked another question, this one was for his own personnal needs. "Back at Shadow Moses, when i injected you with the Nano machines, i found a very strange DNA construction in your body Snake. First is 95% of the DNA are human, but the remaining 5% are all undiscovered DNA."
"Undiscovered?" Snake asked anxiously. "Yes, it seems that those 5% gave incredible powers that only kaiju has like fast regenarative power, sixth sense of danger, quick reactions to ever changing situations. I never knew anything about the DNA structures of your body like your mother wasn't a normal human being at all." Snake now even more freaks out at the fact that maybe, he was never a human being. "Back to the main problem." Katsura reminded him.
"Kiryu is using the current generation of Nano-machines, if MechaGodzilla 2 takes control of the Nano-machines inside Kiryu…" Snake was horrified for the detail he just figures out.
"Not to worry, here, these are antidote that Kiryu will be needed to protect himself with. Give these to him, and…" Katsura gave Snake a couple of needles for him to bring to Kiryu, and then a group of elite and regular mercenaries burst into the house and attack everybody. They bring Katsura to an airfield nearby leaving Snake to battle Octopussy. But Octopussy didn't come alone; the female elite commando brought a Nano-machines enhanced Biollante to the fight.
Snake quickly take his RPG 7 to fight, Kiryu also have just arrive in time to deal with Biollante, Snake run around the small wooden house trying to deal with Octopussy's mechanical arms and shoot her with the rocket. While then Kiryu is fighting outside with Biollante, he launches his missiles and rockets, fire his mazer cannon, and wrist mounted plasma cannons. "Free me!" cried Biollante, but somehow, only Kiryu can understand her scream. Four vines swing right toward Kiryu's chest, but they were somehow they were slowly twindling down. Kiryu took his opportunity, he quickly draw his blade and hacked all the vines. Snake on the other hand is still running around and shooting his rockets at random location, after a while, the battles come to an end, Kiryu blast Biollante with his AZC cannon and slams his tail to the ground, the Biollante ice cube shattered into millions of pieces, Snake gave Octopussy one final rocket and she was send flying through the room.
Snake saw Octopussy remove her suits and revealed her beauty form, Snake avoid her attemps to hold him tight and wrestle her to the ground. Finally he got his hand on her Facecamo, "Hey big guy, I got something for you. Here this will prove useful for you to protect yourself from MechaGodzilla 2's attempt to attack and control your Nano-machines." Snake gave Kiryu the bag of antidotes.
Then Kiryu gave him a friendly smile and fly away to continue his search for any clues that might prove useful in figuring out MechaGodzilla 2's strength and weaknesses. Snake receive a call from Drebin, "Hey, Snake I got to congrads you on taking down your first BnB bitch. See she came from a fishing village in Scandinavia, the village is name 'Village of the devil', not because its fame devils, because its people are all octopus eaters. When she was at her teenage years, a group armed fighters attacked and burn down the village; they force her to torture her parents and friends. They even forced her to laugh like she was enjoying it. So then she starts to become hysterical and starts to suffer from post war traumatized and finally she lost In her miseries and horror."
"You expect me to feel sorry for her?" Asked Snake.
"Relax bro; I just thought that my customer should get privilege info on their rivals." Then Drebin ended the call.
