Heh, how about that last chapter, eh? Sure did have a satisfying end to it, huh? Heh...hehe...ehn...

I'm an idiot, okay? Like, legitimately an idiot when it comes to my own stories...

However I am pretty kick-ass at consultation for stories, so if you need help hit me up.

I woke with a start and quickly looked over at my bedside table, vaguely hoping that last night's events had been nothing but a fevered dream. Much to my dismay, however, the PSP that my apparent other-universe counterpart had given me was still here.

I slowly, cautiously, picked up the device.

It looked like a regular old PSP, hell it looked like it was a copy of mine, which considering the fact it was from alternate universe me, made it likely it was a copy of mine. I opened the disk tray and peered in, but save a few extra wires, it looked like a base model. How was this thing supposed to work like the Matrix or Sword Art Online?

I booted it up and was welcomed to the familiar sight of the PSP home screen. Everything looked the same for the most part, except for a new sub-menu shaped like a headphone jack. Upon selection, a prompt jumped on-screen.

"Connect to [Tray Empty]?"

I realized that I hadn't put any games into the tray. I looked over at my games before my eyes almost immediately locked onto the Peace Walker disk.

"You're supposed to go in there and learn CQC from Big Boss and have this awesome Matrix-style story."

Alternate Me's voice echoed in my head as I picked up the disk. Should I really tempt fate?

I slid the disk into the tray and closed it, after a few seconds of buffering, the prompt changed.

"Connect to Peace Walker?"

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes as I hit the X button, A wave of nausea hit me before I fainted and fell back into my waiting bed.

Salt

The air definitely smelled like salt and I could hear an ocean.

This was an odd dream, the air smells salty, I hear an ocean, and I'm vaguely sure I'm pressed against something hard.

Wait

My eyes snapped open to a clear blue sky, I quickly rolled to my feet and looked around.

Metal structure stretched for a good mile ahead of me connected to other large metal structures.

I turned to my right and confirmed my suspicions as I was about twenty feet away from a large building with a logo emblazoned on the front. It was a skull on a yellow background with three words encircling it.

Militaires Sans Frontières

Okay, finally in Peace Walker. Now we can get the story rolling! Please forgive how short this chapter is, it's more a transition into the next than it's own chapter. If you can, it would be great if you could leave a review to let me know any thoughts or tips on how I might be able to improve the story, my writing style, ect. Also that offer stands for anyone who needs a helping hand.
