Chapter 6: Dolinovodno
Johnny Grant inched into the grass easily. He was almost there. Up ahead was a rope bridge, probably repaired and replaced so many times it needed it's own team of workers. John used his goggles to zoom in on the guard ahead on the bridge. He was wearing a sneaking suit from the 70s (see chapter 3), a dark balaclava, and a beret. He was carrying a Scorpion sub-machine gun and was armed with numerous grenades and a combat knife. John noted it and switched over to the CODEC.
John: Kasler?
George: Falcon! What do you need?
John: I see a guard up ahead on the rope bridge, but I have to get across.
George: Hm. Well maybe you should talk to Roy about that.
…
Roy: What is it Falcon?
John: I see a guard positioned on the bridge.
Roy: Is there any way around?
John: Unless I can leap this cliff? No.
Roy: Well then take special care not to alert him to your position. Take him out stealthily.
John: Yeah….sure….
Beedlybeep!
John slid down the slope of the hill and ducked behind a tree nearby. He had to time this right……
John dashed from cover as soon as the guard turned his back, taking care to be silent, then he rolled over onto the bridge. John, to avoid detection, slid off of the side and using his well-trained body to hold himself to the thin wooden planks on the side. Gradually, he made his way to the personnel, slipping the CQC knife from the guard boot and ignoring the large combat knife he carried as well. With a swift upward slash, John cut the rope on the side of the bridge, causing the guard to falter, but then John shifted his weight up, and the guard tumbled over. John saw the Scorpion drop down to the lake…..but where was the body? John looked up. There, hanging on the other side of the bridge….was the guard. John slashed with his knife, but the man dodged, slamming his boot into John's abdomen and winding him. John set the knife back on the bridge and hoisted himself up. The guard was also on hi way up, slamming his hand into John's foot and causing him to fall onto the wood. John looked up as the guard stood, charging him with a combat knife. John brought up his feet and stopped him, shoving him down as well. They both scrambled to their feet and assumed fighting positions, holstering their knives. John made a few advancing motions, but never struck until the third, bringing his fist around to the man's head. Too bad. The guard parried easily, punching John in the stomach three times, the bringing his foot to his face and knocking John to the railing. Can't keep this up much longer…. John ducked under the next blow and tackled the guard, forcing him to the opposite rail, punching him in the face rapidly. The guard caught him after a dozen punches, a seepage of blood coming from the torn mask, then twisted it, breaking John's wrist, pinning his arm behind his back, and then snapping the elbow with ease. John howled in pain, throwing his other arm back, but missed the ducking guard, only to have his knee smashed in from another strike. John fell to one knee, deflecting a blow to the face but taking another in the gut. The guard used that opportunity to slug him in the face, then pulling the CQC knife from John's hands, stabbing it into his left hip. John cringed, then stood up, only to be punched again in the stomach, then the guard snatched his good arm, flipping him over the railing.
John screamed in terror as he plunged all the way down to the water and rocks below.
Meanwhile…
Derek had gotten some distance between himself and his infiltration point. Now he finds his way through the forest, unbelievably, without seeing any guards. Derek crouched by a tree and called Otacon.
Derek: Otacon?
Otacon: Desert Eagle, what's up?
Derek: I need to check with you, did you get anything out of Snake?
Otacon: No, but I'm working on it.
Derek: Alright….well then, anyone else I should talk to?
Otacon: I'll record some frequencies into your CODEC. Snake and I, Natasha, our weapons specialist, not to mention boss, and Raiden, although he's still recovering from his last mission.
Max: Hey!
Otacon: Oh, sorry. This is Max, and he'll be monitoring the progress at the Pentagon.
Max: It's an honor.
Derek: Um….thanks….I think…
Otacon: I'll save your progress on a separate frequency as well. Give a call if you need to.
Derek: Thanks Otacon.
Snake: Desert Eagle….
Derek: Snake?
Snake: Listen, about earlier….
Derek: its okay…..I understand.
Snake: No, you don't. Big Boss is the most dangerous man on earth, and comparing his fighting to the guard's, I think you're in a heap of trouble.
Derek: Okay…I'll watch my back out here.
Snake: Eagle….I'm serious. A soldier means nothing if he's dead.
Derek: Yeah…..
Beedlybeep!
