Chapter 10: The twin suns.
After the NOMAD landed in Kodiak, Alaska, professor Yuhara charted a helicopter to fare the wolf pack duo, Snake Eater and Kiryu to Shadow Moses Island. Snake was dreaming the night when he first came to Shadow Moses Island to investigate an armed takeover of the island. It was a dark and cold night on Shadow Moses. Yet again, it was as ever since it was part of Alaska. Snake stealthily make his way through the security forces of the island and infiltrated the tank hanger behind the heliport via an air duct. Then the dream ends, Snake woke up panicking, a cold breeze escape his mouth. This make a sleepy Kiryu woke up at the voice of his comrade. "Everything alright back there Snake?" Dr Yuhara asked. "I was having that dream again." Snake replied, grunted at his stress and nightmares. "Hey guys we're here on the island." Dr Yuhara informed the duo. Then Snake and Kiryu jump down the helicopter onto the snowfield, under cover of a huge blizzard.
"All right, remember guys that this island is sinking due to global warming. So let's end this fast or else we'll be in a watery grave; and one more thing, this place is crawling with unmanned sentries and they wouldn't mind to shoot you on-sight, good luck." Then dr Yuhara fly away.
Snake then go to the old helipad, on the way he bypass some of the Gekkos which are patrolling the surrounding snowy woodlands. Snake then got to the helipad however he starts to hearing voices of the past, back when first came to the base, he was to fight his twin brother, Liquid Snake. This is where they first met and battle each other. Snake's eyes became steely as he was emboiled with memories and the feelings of deja vu. The view of the heliport is exactly how he remember it. Only it was cover in snows and the tank hangar's blast door was left open slightly. (Author puts on The best is yet to come from MGS 1 OST).
This is also where he was been introduced to the Nano machines that enhance soldier's combat efficiencies, he pass through the tank hangar and into the nuclear warhead building and took the elevator down to basement 2, when he came into Dr Yuhara's old office to reboot the power supplied for the base. Kiryu jumped up to the computer panel then take out a USP cabel from his chest then connect it into the computer mainframe. "Hey Snake, is this the place where you and Tokumi first met?" Kiryu asked through the radio channel, "Yeah, that was nine years ago, when the US government wanted him to built Metal Gear REX from the tech specs of your body so they could both protect America and fight Godzilla at the same time. And then Liquid Snake lead the armed takeover attack the base threaten everybody in it, I met the doc and ask him about how to blow up REX. I think the one who hack into the base and takeover the Metal Gear was somesort of AI to attack that fast." Snake replied to Kiryu. "He was by Gray Fox. He always got shiver when thinks about it. Fox was Katsura's only family, she hated them for what they did to his body. But i was the one who crippled him in the first place. She must have hated me too." Snake shares his experience with Kiryu. Much to Kiryu's thoughts, they were the same, Snake and him, they have undercome unacceptable punishments time and again. Yet they still live to fight, to free their fate from the prison that has contained them for years.
"All right Snake I got the power back on. Now back up to top then open the door there to go for the east. That's a short cut that will lead you to the hangar." Kiryu instructed Snake, "Shortcuts got bosses are waiting for me there." Snake return a funny phrase. Then Snake ran to elevator and take him and Kiryu up to the nuclear storage building's ground floor, Kiryu ran to the door in the back of the room and connect the his wire to the door's USB connection portal and begins his override of the door's security. "Snake, we got a lot of Gekkos headed this way. Cover me so i could open the door." Kiryu informed Snake, "Right, but do this fast, I don't know when will they'll be stop." Snake answered.
Then the Gekkos start to fall in from the elevator, Snake take out his rocket launcher and starts to shooting at the Gekkos, one after another they kept on coming at him, some of them even try to kick him with their large legs but he dodged those attacks and make them kicked each other instead. Withing 5 minutes, Snake destroy twelve Gekkos just when Kiryu had openned the door for them to get out. Then the two headed out to the communication tower to take the shortcut. But from a distance a figure of death is waiting for them, then out came a feminine voice, "Snake, found you."
"Cry, cry! Let me see your tears, cry till your eyes ran red!"
"So so sad, that i could have die!"
Then from the mechanical panther like vehicle came a sniper, a female sniper that arms with a rail gun for a sniper rifle. She fire her rail gun at Snake, he dodged the blast but it hit the tree; Snake dodges the falling tree before it crush him. He turns around to see where the blast was came from, but it was useless for the sniper is gone.
Then Snake run to a ridge line where he tranquillized two FROGS operatives, he draw out his sniper rifle to begin the ultimate battle between two legendary marksmen. He see her through his scope, Snake pulls the trigger and send a bullet flying toward the sniper; the bullet hits it's mark, the sniper yell in pain and ran away again. The Sniper repositions herself again and gave Snake another rail gun blast; Snake dodges that shot and return fire toward her bush.
He then chase after her only to get another blast that nearly kills him; but his will to fought on have regenerates his strength. He saw the woman again, and this time he fires at her suit's prime engine. The suit began to malfunction and then she ran out of her battle suit; Kiryu was capture by her beauty of an African woman in a skin tight suit. She began to scream at the sounds in her head, "No! Please I don't want any more tears, please leave me alone!" She screams in horror for she too is a victim of the post war trauma syndrome, she saw a wolf in front of her; he is walking closer and closer to her.
But in front of Snake and Kiryu's eyes, they don't see anything but Crying Wolf is screaming at the figgint of her imagination. An imagination created by a damage mind when she is still a young girl.
Snake ran to her and starts to calm her down; "Lady, calm down, calms down, there's nothing but us, there's nothing here but us! Look into my eyes, there's nothing to be afraid of, now calms down, sit down take a sleep a deep sleep. You have been restless for a long time." Snake then calm her down, she comes back to hers sense and then she slowly lie down on the snow of Alaska and fall asleep. Then a wolf comes by, it howls at the woman's side, and then it picks her up on its back and ran off, Snake and Kiryu watch on as the sceen reminds them of Sniping Wolf, Snake's lover in the past. Then Drebin calls them, "Congratulation on beating another beast, the rail gun you got from her is real find piece of weapon, I can launder it for you and make it a portable AT weapon that can blows up Gekkos real good.
Now for another bedtime story, this one is about Crying Wolf the one that you just take down. You know, she came from Africa, where civil wars are usually wages by ethic cleansing; she was born into that environment. Her village was been burned down, and all of her relatives are all dead. Horrified, she ran off with one last family member in her hands, her baby brother; they ran as far away from the war zone as possible, one day they came across a group of patrol; she ran into an abandoned shack to hide. Her baby brother begins to cry, she knew that if the soldiers hear the cry they will kill her and her baby brother.
She then places her hands on her brother's mouth, when the soldiers go away, she came back to her senses but her brother was stop breathing. She then was horrified that she kills her own brother; she continues to walk on with her brother's corpse rotten on her hands, she was having a horrible vision of a wolf walking along side her. When she came to a government run refugee camp her brother's corpse was already rotten to the bones; she then started to be haunted by babies cry in the camp. She begged it to stop, and the wolf complied with her wish, he walks from one baby to another, slowly silence them.
She was petrified she couldn't stop him from continue, but it was all hallucination created by her damaged mind. When a rebel group attacks the camp, all the babies are all dead and the adults were ripped to pieces. She was able to escape but only to carry a dark emotional scar with her for the rest of her live." Drebin tells the story that even Snake had to shed some tears for her live like all the other member of the BNB. "But hey, eyes on the prize, you still got one last beast to best so good luck." Drebin then ends the call and leave Snake and Kiryu to continue the mission.
