Things appeared to go downhill real fast as Nisa charged the unknown woman, only to be backhanded away from her. She was knocked against a rock unconscious.

Snake glanced to the unconscious Nisa and the woman. He went into a more serious stance, as he couldn't afford to falter.

The woman slowly approached Snake, almost tauntingly. She quickly brought her scythe up and swung. Snake quickly dodged out of the way, diving on the ground, and quickly getting back up. His aim fixated, still on the woman.

He had to know her attack patterns before attacking himself. The woman clearly stopped being patient as she quickly flew forth and swung once again.

Snake dodged again. He didn't expect her to get impatient real quick, due to her 'I'm more superior demeanor.

Snake fired a tranquilizer round hitting his target, knowing the nature of super natural targets, he's gonna have to shoot more. The round hit her square on her left breast.

Her eye looked down at the small needle like round, she pulled it out, threw it to the ground, and merely smirked, "Such a weak weapon. I'm done fooling around now."

She picked up her pace, as she swung her scythe to the ground. It caused a small shockwave which made Snake fall onto his back. The woman quickly dashed over to the downed man and brought her scythe upwards.

Snake didn't have much time to react as the woman brought her scythe down upon him. Time appeared to slow as his doom awaited.

….

"Give the boys my regards." Kaz said as he walked to a nearby table, tray full of food, burger and fries. He was telling the culinary team, how they're doing excellent work, not five star, but you know.

He set his tray down at a currently occupied table. All of the occupants shot straight out of their chairs and saluted.

"Commander Miller!" They all shouted.

"At ease."

The men lowered their hands as they sat back down.

Miller took a bite into his burger. He always liked a good burger.

"So anything going on lately?" One of the soldiers asked to everyone.

"Well, I tried hitting on Alicia, you know Creeping Cat, but she didn't give me a second glance. Not even a first."

"Bad luck man." One of them comments. They all share a hardy laugh at the man's misfortune.

Miller decided to pitch in, "Don't worry, you'll get a woman someday."

"Thank you commander." The man saluted.

"Try being more vicious. Approach her aggressively, but not too aggressively. Try to lead the conversation, don't allow her an opportunity to say no."

"Really?" One of the men asked, a bit skeptical at the vague answer.

"Who do you think you're talking to? I've seduced many women, before you were born. Hell you might be one of my kids." Miller joked.

They laughed at the small joke. They did hear rumors that their commander is a sort of womanizer. Hell they've heard that some of the woman on mother base joined because they slept with him.

"I've heard you used to be a womanizer."

"used to? I am still currently one right now. I'll continue, until the day I die. Hell even after I die." Miller chuckled at his own joke as the mother base members did the same.

"Hey commander. Some of guys have discovered oil, untapped too."

"Untapped oil? That's quite the rarity."

"What do you think we should do with it? Sell it. It could fetch a price at the local town, Leanbox was it?"

Miller thought it over for a few seconds. He quickly went over his ideal options before picking.

"Drill for it, but don't sell it. We'll use it to maintain our vehicles. We can't sell it, because if it's untapped they may not have a use for it."

"All right I'll relay the message." One of the soldiers ran off.

"See ya, Gator." One of them waved off, Gator.

'Damn untapped oil. Maybe the Boss is ri- no. I have to prove that we aren't in a different dimension. After all I made a bet with many people. I can't just give up, or goodbye wallet.'

Miller sighed at the small thought, 'I bet Snake is going to describe how the dragon meat tastes.' He looked down at his burger.

Something inside him told him something. He didn't know what, but he knew it had something to do with burgers. Kaz couldn't let it wait any longer. He had a new mission he had to fulfill. To create the ultimate burger….

Before that however he had to finish his current one. 'I wonder what Snake's up to. Probably caught something else to eat'

…..

Snake didn't know how, but it happened on instinct. The woman's eye widen at the irregular occurrence in front of her.

Again he didn't know how, but he had the bladed end of the scythe stopped right at his head a few centimeters away in fact. His current method? Clapping his hands together on the curved doom maker. Even he was having trouble believing his own eye.

"Interesting." The woman said as she stopped trying to bring the doom maker down. However she didn't stop because he caught the scythe mid swing, but because she was strangely feeling tired. Heck this might be the first time she's even felt tired.

"I'll let you live for now, but don't think you'll get the luxury next time." The woman disappeared as a pillar of light shone down. Snake covered his eye.

He uncovered it when he was certain the light was gone. He maneuvered his head back and forth treeing to look for the woman. He gave up knowing such retreating tactics.

He walked over to the unconscious Nisa and positioned her sitting up. He checked for any serious injuries. At a glance nothing major. After checking, still nothing major.

"Tough body to hit a rock unscathed." Snake commented.

The most common thing to do here. Was to wake her up.

Snake slowly reached out to Nisa's shoulders had a firm grip on it and shook.

The first reaction was a groan.

The second was a louder groan.

The third shook caused her to jump straight up and into an attack position. She readied her fists.

After a few seconds if silence, as Nisa realized what was happening, she slowly scratched her head and looked at Snake.

She took a quick glance around the cavern looking for their attacker.

"It's alright she ran off."

Nisa looked at Snake to see him relatively unscathed. She did a double check. Double check meaning she had checked his body all over. She immediately reeled back in shock realizing what just happened.

"What's wrong?"

"You're okay? We're alive?" Nisa checked herself.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't we be?"

"Boss, that was CFW Magic. We survived an encounter with her!" Nisa cheered.

"CFW Magic?"

"Oh right. Different world." Nisa cleared her throat, "CFW Magic is one of the four felons. They lead the evil ASIC. Apparently CFW Magic is the strongest out of all of them. The fact that we survived an encounter with her is a miracle."

"That probably explains the eye patch." Snake reached his own conclusion, "You can usually tell how experienced someone has based on their scars or permanent wounds. Their demeanor as well."

Snake scratched his beard, "I don't think I'm ready to face this opponent just yet."

Snake took a quick glance at a certain fire. Their dragon was burnt, his eye widened at the wasted, delicious product, "Now she's made it personal."

Nisa took a glance at the makeshift fireplace as well, she sighed in disappointment, there goes their food.

….

They made it back to the guild to turn in the quests they did. The payout was, rather large. One hundred thousand credits for all the quests combined, the hunting one being the most paid for one.

Nisa offered a tour of the city of Leanbox. Snake didn't refuse, as he would probably come here often. Plus Kaz hasn't called in yet, so he could kill some time.

…

A tape started playing.

"Huey!" Kaz's voice shouted.

"Gahhh!" A startled Huey was heard.

"I need your help in making a burger."

"What? Why are you asking me? Can't you get the culinary staff to make you one?"

"This won't just be any burger Huey. It'll be the best. And I need the head of the R&D staff to design it."

"Has the Boss been telling you to eat the food he gets on the field again?!"

"Yeah, but we'll have to show him the power of science made food."

"You're not making much sense. "

"Hey I got to act strange once in a while."

A sigh was heard, "Fine. I'll help." The tape ended there.

Another starts.

"What's the commander doing?"

"I don't know, Alpacka. Something about the ultimate burger."

"Say, Beaver. Why do we use animal codenames?"

"You're asking that now?"

"Sorry, I never really noticed before."

"I don't know. Something about the Boss's old codename."

"Huh."

"Mind turning the radio up?"

"Sure no problem."

The sound of a radio coming to life was heard.

"In other news. Gamindistri's own Leanbox has reported sightings of a rather peculiar man. The most notable features was his battle worn face and an eyepatch."

"Holy Shit! Guys the Boss is on the news!"

The sound of the radio getting louder was heard, along with the sound of multiple footsteps getting closer to the radio.

"He's been seen doing quests with local hero Nisa."

"Hey that's the chick, Boss brought back."

"Quiet!"

"It has been rumored that he took on a rather difficult quest, which included a cave, Dogoos, Kupokitties, and a dragon. But surely this isn't newsworthy. No. It isn't, however something that possibly happened during the quest is what's Interesting.

"What is it?"

"Just wait for the newscaster to explain!"

…

..! ?

The Dragon was slain, and a nearby fire place would indicate, that it was eaten.

Whatever else the caster was going to talk about was drowned out, by laughter.

"That's the Boss alright!"

"Eating whatever animal he may come across."

The laughing continued as the tap abruptly ended.

…..

"Huh? Eating a dragon?"

"That's a rather, interesting choice of food."

"Goodness he must've been hungry."

"Gear, Compa, ready to go?"

"Coming!"

"Next stop Lastation!"

…

"Eating Dragons?... I probably don't have to worry about that, but still someone ate a Dragon? Uh! I got no time to think about that now. I got to get the shares up….. and maybe….."

…..

"Oh my. Eating such a large creature."

"What does Dragon taste like Mina?!"

"uh… huh what does it taste like."

"Children please. I don't know actually"

"Lame! Can you get us Dragon please?!"

"Pretty.. please?"

"Only if you're good. And if it's in stock…"

….

"Interesting, and here in Leanbox?"

"Shall I do something, Lady Chika?"

"No, Cave. It's fine. Probably another weekly gossip, we'll never hear again."

…..

"Holy Crap! Someone ate a Dragon?! Could become a potential recruit if things go right, but first got to head to Lastation. That mascot ain't gonna destroy itself ."

……..

I've decided these will be short interval like chapters. Short or Long chapters, based on importance or comedy or whatever I feel is good enough.

Just gonna throw it out here, but Next chapter may focus on training Nisa at Mother Base. Not the entire focus, but you know.

…

Extra.

"Alright I'm back. What did I miss" Kaz radios in after getting his burger.

Silence filled the waves as he tried to get an answer.

"Snake can you hear me? Talk to me!"

The camera cuts to the IDroid and ear piece laying on the ground.

"Snake? Come again can you hear me?!"

The camera slowly zooms outward.

"Snake?"

It slowly reveals the small fire still going indicating they're still in the cave.

"Snake?!"

Somethings starts to appear on the edge of the screen as it moves a tad bit faster.

"Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!"

The objects that were appear was a scythe, Snake's weapons, Nisa's sword, and the clothes of Nisa, Snake, and the little bits of Magic's lay on the ground. Small almost audioless moans could be heard in the background as the camera fades to black.
