Dead Cell all boarded onto the HIND helicopert and flew it towards New York and the Big Shell, which wasn't really very far away from them. Old Guy was driving.

"What do you think president Sears wants?" asked Chinaman.

"He must have some sort of assignment for us. Let's go." Fortune sayed as they flew there towards it.

Before long they all landed on Big Shell and unboarded the HIND.

"Ah, Dead Cell... Welcome" sayed Sears.

"Mr. President. What brings you here?" asked Fatman.

"I have come here to inspect the Big Shell" he sayed. It will be done construction in probably a couple of years, so in the mean time you may use it as your base." Sears replyed.

"But why did you call us here?" asked Fortune.

"I suppose it is time that I tell you then... Dead Cell, from now on you no longer work for the US government. Now you work for me, and together we shall overthrow it's leader."

"But I thought you were the leader, King" sayed Vamp.

"No... I don't mean the president... I'm talking about the Patriots."

"The Patriots? But..." sayed Chinaman.

"I am in. I will do anything to kill those Patriots" sayed Old Guy.

"I'll help too. But |I have my conditions." Added Fatman.

"Queen?" asked Vamp.

"Very well" sayed Fortune. "Dead Cell will assist your efforts, Mr. President.

"I thank you for your decision... But from now on, call me Solidus."

"Your honory code name?"

"Yes. I no longer want to be associated with this country when I do not have to be. Not until it is free once more."

"But now what will we do?" asked Chinaman.

"For the next year or so, I want you to continue acting as if you were working for the government. My plan shall take a while to set up, and it will require the completion of Big Shell first. I shall say that this was just a routine inspection and we should all never return to this place for a few years. Two I'd say. By then it should be ready."

"Alright... But Mr. Sears? There's one more thing I would like to ask you about."

"Alright... What is it, Fortune?" sayed Solidus.

"Have you heard about what happened to Colonel Jackson? Do you know anything about it?"

"Sorry. I'm afraid not" he responded. "But I fear that it may be there doing..."

"Alright. Then we'll be sure to have them dead soon enough" Fortune sayed. "Let's return to the Dead Cell base.

"Later... King" Vamp sayed as he left.

They all got back into the HIND helicopter and flew back to base and landed. Old Guy didn't drive this time.

"Now... We just have to wait." Fatman sayed. "And then we can really bomb those Patriots."

"Right" added Chinaman.

"We'll have to do it... For President Sears... and for Colonel Jackson.

MEANWHILE, A FEW DAYS LATER...

"Is everything in place?" sayed a mysterious voice.

"Yes..." sayed another one.

"Then I am counting on you to blow that ship and take Metal Gear."

"Alright then. This should be fun..."

"Good luck... Ocelot"
