Author's Note: Perhaps it's been a week since my last update, but writing this story is so much fun! Not to mention that aside fro writing, I am still gathering ideas as well. Now, I am releasing part 2 of where we left off. In other words, chapter 6 of Act 1.

I don't own Danganronpa or Metal Gear Solid.

Inside Da Smasei Laman

Northern Kabul, Afghanistan

Night-time, during the Skulls attack

Things didn't look good inside the Smasei Fort. Venom Snake is close for completing his mission of retrieving the 'Honey Bee', along with Fenrir. However, a group of super soldiers known as the Skulls began to attack them. He had a hard time dealing with them, yet he made use of the 'Honey Bee' weapon, which it was effective against them. As he finally neutralized all three of them using the said weapon, he took a breather. However, something's not right, for Snake, at least.

"You took down the Skulls? Boss, you really are a living legend!" Miller commented on the radio.

Yet Snake looked around. "But this mist is still here. Seems I am missing something..."

"Wait, you mean-"

"Fenrir..." Snake breathed. "I need to find that kid... and fast."

"So it's not over yet; there is one Skull left. Neutralize the threat and get out of here." Miller continued.

"Can't leave her behind." Snake said. After checking his ammo on the rifle, he went off through the mist to find Ikusaba...

*Mukuro's POV*

"Damn it."

I tried to stand up, catching my breath as I face the monstrosity in front of me. I can't believe that this... monster is the one that I trapped and killed back then, along with his brothers. Long story short" that is also the time I disguised myself as my sister and the latter went roaming around Hope's Peak in her 'Ryoko Otonashi' identity. And that is all before the first Mutual Killing started.

And woah, that was one hell of a punch. Good thing I blocked it.

"You ok, Fenrir?" I received a transmission from none other than Yuto. Seems he's worried.

"I'm fine." I replied. "But this guy is tough... and I've faced him before."

"Wait, don't you mean-"

"Ever heard of Isshiki Madarai, the Ultimate Bodyguard?"

"Oh, you mean one of the Ultimate Multiple Birth Siblings back at Hope's Peak? I remember the time that you fought the third Madarai brother while rescuing Makoto Naegi." He recalled. "Um, what of it?"

"The first brother, I'm currently engaging him." I told him... and then I muttered bitterly, "And he's a Skull, whatever you call it."

"Wait, WHAT!? Are you kidding me!?" he exclaimed in bewilderment. "Shit, the freak's got freakier than ever."

"Seems I don't have a choice..." I muttered.

"Damn... alright, just be careful, okay?" Yuto told me in a worried tone.

"Right." I replied. End of transmission.

I fired back at Isshiki with my rifle; I managed to hit him while he was walking yet unfazed. On top of it, he evaded most of the bullets like it was child's play; shit, that guy is so damn fast!

The black-heard man with the snake-like tongue cackled as he took... something from his back with his two hands. And from out of it, it was two machetes. Then suddenly, he uses his inhuman speed as he is fast approaching me. And yet-

"UP HERE!"

I looked up and I saw Isshiki in the air. He's going for the kill as he tries to eliminate me with his two machetes, trying to strike me down.

Tsk, not gonna happen!

I rolled and flipped back to the right, evading his coupe de grace. While on the ground and in a ducking position, I aimed my rifle again and fired yet Isshiki used speed again and when he suddenly appeared on my left and raises his machete on his right hand for the strike yet I dodged it. However, I saw the other machete on his left hand going for the thrust; however, I countered his attack by taking out my combat knife.

Clashing blade with blade, I parried the other machete, using my rifle. We tried to hold and tried to push away one after another. Seeing this as a chance, I used my rifle to push him a bit yet the rifle was in mid-air. On the other hand, I have something in my mind...

I caught my rifle into mid, holding its grip while doing a spin move as I try to attack using my right hand with the combat knife; I saw him trying to attack me close using the left machete yet I parried, after the now I aimed my rifle at Isshiki using my left hand and fired. The bodyguard turned creep took a lot of hits. I keep on firing on him, now resting the rear guard of my rifle on my right forearm.

"Argh!" Isshiki staggered as I continued firing... until my rifle ammo is empty. I saw some parts of his suit being disintegrated, more like appearance like that of a flesh. Yet he chuckled as it reformed again.

That guy is not human!

"You aren't human, are you?" I asked him as use this time to reload my rifle

Then he chuckled again as he motioned his right hand, as if he tries to summon something.

"More... than that!"

Then I heard a noise and as metallic spike appeared in front of me, floating in the air. And it's like the size of a big rock. Crap, this is bad.

And then he throws it at me yet I took a dive to the left to evade it, which I did as the metallic spike hit the ground and crumbled to pieces. While lying on the ground, I shoot him again and when I noticed that there's an odd form of gas surround me, I immediately rolled away from it; it was none other than another metallic spike.

I got up in a ducking position to continue firing, yet suddenly Isshiki appeared in front of me, snarling in glee. Then he tried to punch me with his right fist, which I dodged it. He made the second one using his left fist; still I dodged it. I continued to dodge his punches until he stopped and then I saw raising his fist; I looked up wide eyed and muttered, "Crap."

Then he immediately punched the ground, which I immediately jumped away. Such sheer strength he's showing right now.

Shrugging off my thoughts, I continued to fire my rifle. Same result. Then he took out one of his machete as he rushed into me using his speed. He suddenly jumped into the air and goes for the attack.

"BEGONE!" He declared.

And I blocked his machete with my rifle and yet... he sliced it in half! My rifle is destroyed.

"Shit!" I cursed. Now how can I beat this guy!?

"Now, DIEEEEEE!" He shouted as he is trying to kill me by thrusting his machete into my gut.

Perfect timing.

Focusing on the blade, I did an evasive manoeuvre as I caught the machete with my both hands... and I did a spin move and gut him on the back. He screamed in pain; and I kicked the hilt to deepen the stab as the stabbed Isshiki staggered as he tries to pull away the embedded blade. His own blade, that is.

"Damn... IT!" he cursed as he tries to take off his blade with his strength. But then-

"Get away, Wolf!" I heard someone from afar. And I turned to my left... it's Snake! And he's holding... a missile launcher?

FSSSSSSSSHH!

He fired the missile launcher and I dashed and dive away from distance. And when I looked back at Isshiki, and...

BOOOOOOOM!

An explosion rocked, confirming the hit. More like point-blank. And when the smoke cleared, he's in his 'fleshy' appearance. But still, he takes off the machete from his chest. Yet the freak turned to the one who hit him.

"Big... Bosssssss..." he seethed as he walked towards him. However, Snake still aimed his rifle. As I saw him walking towards the horned guy-

He suddenly stopped. And shaking...

"W-what!?" He snarled. I saw Snake still pointing his rifle. While me, however, decided to took out my... tranquilizer gun. Got no choice, though...

And moments later, he just stood and calm down as he said, "Very well..." And then he turned to me, now his eyes are glowing blue.

"I'll… get you." He snarled. "Next…time…" Then Isshiki disappeared by jumping up in the air. And then the mist disappeared as I looked up…

It's the clear night sky where I can see the moon. The whole of Smasei Fort… is now quiet.

"Kid, you okay?" I heard someone called me. It was Snake, walking towards me.

"Still in one piece, Boss; same goes to you." I told him.

"Can't believe you can handle those freaks yourself; thanks for your help." Snake complement.

"No need for that." I smiled. "I'm used to danger." Then something entered my mind.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Homa!" I'd best hurry. My objective's not complete.

"I'll call the chopper here!" Snake said.

I turned to him and nodded while running. Until I reached the cell, I opened the door and saw Homa, eyes still closed, and still scared.

"Hey, calm down." I speak in a calm tone. "They're gone."

"R-Really?" she looked up to me and then she sighed in relief. "Praise Allah."

"Come on." I smiled as I took her left arm, helping her to stand.

"Can you walk?" I asked.

"Just a bit… for now." Homa answered.

"Let's go." I told her and she nodded.

As we made out from the cell past through the tent, I saw Snake waiting for us, smoking on his special cigar.

"You know, something that reminds me... I told you that I am joining you, right?"

I nodded at Homa's answer.

"However, after finding out the truth of what happened to my comrades, seems I have no place to go. And... I'll tell you everything I know."

"Huh?" I gave her an incredulous look.

"What? There is something wrong that I've said?" Homa inquired.

I shook my head and smile. "Nah, it's nothing. It's like... all of a sudden. Especially the fact that there are a LOT of things happened when I got here. For me at least..."

"I see..." she replied. "But when I get there... I need some rest..."

I chuckled and said, "You'll get your rest, Homa..."

And then, both of us finally reached 'Big Boss', still holding on his cigar. He turned to us and spoke, "Glad you two make it."

"Right, sir." I said.

"Is that?" the eyepatched soldier.

"Yes." I nodded. "She's the prisoner I tried to rescue back; she goes by the name Homa."

"I see." Snake said.

"That man." I heard Homa spoke as he looked into the horned mercenary. "Is that-"

"Yeah, he's our 'Boss'." I replied.

"So that's the one known as 'Big Boss'...? I heard a lot of stories about him back then." Homa told me.

"You do?" I inquired and she answered with a nod.

Then I received a radio transmission.

"This is Pequod. Arriving shortly at LZ."

"Is that... a helicopter?" I turned to Homa.

I nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, it's our ride."

"W-Where you will take me?" she asked me.

"Of course, to our PF." I replied.

"You mean your group?"

"Right." I nodded.

As I looked up, I saw the chopper in the sky, making its way here. It's now closing in to our location.

"This is Pequod! On station at LZ!"

"Alright, get in. Time to go!" XO Miller said on the radio.

"Let's move!" Snake commanded as the chopper landed and doors opened. Snake is the first to enter while me and Homa followed, carrying her. I helped the Hamid girl to get inside and then I followed as well.

"Gaining altitude."

I helped the Afghan girl sit on the left side; she is still weak and exhausted due to her wounds so she needs rest.

"Thank you..." Homa said. "I am in your debt."

"Don't mention it..." I said to her. Afterwards, she closes her eyes and went asleep as the chopper began liftoff and fly away from the area.

As I took the other seat, I heard another transmission is coming from the comms inside the chopper. It was Commander Miller's voice.

"Mission complete, Boss. Same goes to you, Fenrir."

"You made it all in one piece! What a relief..." now it was Yuto who joined the conversation.

"You really got nervous, aren't you, Yuto?" I told him.

"Come on, I am your comrade, Mukuro. Of course I should be worried. Same goes to the 'Boss'." Yuto made an honest reply.

I smirked and said. "Well, thanks anyway."

XO Miller began the debriefing as me and the 'Boss' began to pay attention.

"So, this unit in the mist... their speed, the way they jump... it's not human. And those deformities..." The XO noted.

"They attacked the Soviets, too." Snake said.

"And that Grim Reaper lookalike in charge of them, including that red-clad woman following him... that GIANT thing that carried them off... what the hell are they?" Commander Miller continued.

When he mentioned the 'red-clad woman', I decided not to speak about it because it's more like... personal to me. I'll tell them when the time is right.

"May I have permission to speak?" I decided to butt in because I decided to speak out... about what happened as well.

"Go ahead, Ikusaba." Snake told me, that means permission granted.

"Alright, do you have something to tell us?" Miller added.

I took a deep breath and began to speak. "Aside from the fact that I faced those 'Skulls' for the first time, I also had an encounter with one of them... and he's unique; he's somewhat different from the one's you've faced."

"Unique, you say?" Snake inquired and I nodded.

"That' Skull' had long hair and a snake-like tongue. And he is capable of speaking, even though it's limited." I recalled. "And... he knew about me."

"Wait, is that true, Ikusaba?" Commander Miller asked.

"So you're saying that 'Skull' had a long history with you?" this time, it was Snake who asked me.

"Yeah. He goes by the name 'Python'. But his real name is Isshiki Madarai. His previous title is 'Ultimate Bodyguard.'" I told them.

"Actually, he's also from Hope's Peak back in our world; the same school I and Mukuro attended." Yuto filled it up for me. "He and his brothers are octopulets; their true talent comes out when they are working together. However, all of them are killed."

Then I sighed as I continued. "And it's all because of me."

"What?" XO Miller said in a different tone. Seems he could not believe it.

"Since me and my sister are beginning to spread despair throughout our world, we saw the Madarai brothers as a threat to my sister's plans. And being my sister's mad dog, I killed them in cold blood." I calmly told them.

"You did all of that?!" XO Miller was a bit surprised and he sighed. "I don't know what to say about this... but back in your past, you're not just a soldier but a killing machine, without any remorse. Is that it?"

"You could say that, sir..." I confirmed. "That's how my past life is..."

"So this Madarai guy... because of what you did to him, he's out for blood and he's coming for you. He's out for revenge." Miller commented. "And to make things worse, he's now a 'Skull'."

"I know. He told me that back when I was fighting him, not to mention that he's a different beast than the last time I saw him." I told them.

"Hm, he's also a threat, I see." Snake noted. "Back on answering Kaz's question: I believe that Cipher is behind all this." And then he turned to me. "So the man you faced back then is part of it, no doubt."

"Wait, what is 'Cipher'?" I asked as question.

"It's an American covert intelligence agency." Yuto answered. "They always work in the shadows. But there is something you need to know, Mukuro: they're the same group who are behind the attack of MSF's Mother Base 9 years ago. And the man known as 'Big Boss', was put into a coma because of it."

So don't tell me...the Skulls, Isshiki, the skull-faced man, and... the girl clad in red who looks like my sister... are a part of that organization...? Including the fact that they were behind that incident 9 years ago... is this what Commander Miller told me? I understand now.

"I was wondering..." Miller entered in. "What do they want? What's their objective? Why Afghanistan!?

"Seems I need to do some Intel work to find out..." Yuto noted. "Because honestly, I can't even tell, XO."

I heard Commander Miller sighed. "You felt the same way, Rabbit. Do what you need to do."

"Right." Yuto said.

Then I saw Snake closing the door of the chopper and dropped down the missile launcher. I touched it. As far as I know, this could be the precursor to the 'Stinger' missile launcher.

"So this was the 'Honey Bee', huh?" I muttered.

"A top-secret U.S. military weapon; we need to get it back to the CIA. But first, let the R&D do their job."

"Oh, I see. Developing a new weapon?" I had to guess.

Snake nodded. "You got that right."

"Boss, there's one thing troubling me..." Commander Miller spoke out.

"I had the same thought, Kaz." Snake replied. "What happened to the Hamid."

"Exactly." Commander Miller affirmed. "Whole squads of hardened Mujahideen killed without a fight, and no trace of biochemical weaponry. What does it all mean?"

"That's what we're here to find out." Snake commented.

"Perhaps Homa knows something. Maybe she can help us out..." I'm voicing out my idea.

"Aside from that mute Hamid survivor that I rescued, this girl could be a great help. Maybe she could join us in the long run." Snake said.

"I know." I nodded. "Perhaps I could not find her if it's not for Rabbit's intel."

"H-hey, I'm flattered." the Intel boy said on the radio.

"Nah, you also deserved credit, you know." I told him.

"Um, thanks." Yuto said to me.

"I agree about with all of you about the Hamid girl." said the XO. "Once she wakes up, we will hear everything she knew. But if we really need to know the whole thing, the truth will reveal itself... even if it's ugly."

And I agree of what Commander Miller said. I am starting a new life here, and then this happened. I went to a mission then I encountered some people who I have never thought that I'd ever see again. I'm not even sure what's gonna happen next, but one thing is for sure: this could lead to something bigger.

Whatever it was, I should be ready.

It's another battlefield that I stepped in. I am facing a new ground.

CHAPTER END

Author's Note: And this is the end of Part 2 of the second mission. Short yet good.

Hope you guys liked the boss fight. You know, I'm doing my best to write it.

You know, most people here have watched episode 9 of Danganronpa 3's Despair arc. And I was like, crap, that was unexpected. I dunno if it was horrible or terrifying or anything. Well, Mukuro is one of my favorite characters since playing the first game and reading Danganronpa IF. But what she did to Chisa Yukizome in episode 9 was atrocious and it divided the fanbase. I have to admit: I knew for a long time that she did awful things and yes, that includes that she killed people (as evident in Danganronpa Zero) and even lobotomized Chisa into despair. But I never ignored them either. She's a soldier and she will do everything, even if it's awful, just to satisfy Junko and make her happy. She's more like a mad dog to her. So she lived as a tool and died as a tool in the end.

Which reminds me: there is a character named Null, from the game Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (which is sem-canon since it was not directed by Hideo Kojima, yet it inspired him to do Peace Walker), a teenage machete wielding assasin, who also goes by the name of Frank Jaeger; in turn, he's also a former child soldier. But that young man is the one who will be known as Gray Fox, the soldier turned Cyborg Ninja featured in the first Metal Gear Solid game. Yeah, he's a badass but died in a honorable death. He even told about the fact that he is the one who took care of Naomi Hunter, even though he's a killer himself. Solid Snake his final words:

"Snake, we are not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting is the thing, the only thing that I am good at. But at least I am fighting for what I believed in."

So I believe that in this story, Mukuro is not only starting a new life in this world, but she is trying to seek redemption, as outside forces are coming after her, to seek revenge. Also, my OC Homa will soon join Diamond Dogs and I wish to develop her: from a teenage Mujaheed to a capable soldier. And perhaps I'll some OCs later on. BTW, I keep on working for the next chapter.

And yeah, I still have plans to do a Metal Gear Rising story.

Thank you so much, everyone. And please read and review.
