The Lunatic's laughter slowly faded, replaced by a moment of unsettling silence. He stood still, his eyes scanning the empty space before him, searching for the presence that wasn't there. Doubt crept into his mind, and a flicker of unease crossed his face.
The Lunatic: What am I doing? (He muttered, his voice tinged with self-doubt.) Talking to thin air again... losing myself in these hallucinations. (He shook his head, trying to clear the fog that clouded his thoughts.) Focus, Lunatic! Focus!
He walked over to a nearby console and studied the data displayed on its screens. His mind raced, calculating the time remaining until the final test of strength with Blizzard. Six days. Just six days until he would see the results of his carefully orchestrated plan.
A mix of anticipation and anxiety gnawed at his gut. The Lunatic's hands trembled as he clutched the edge of the console.
The Lunatic: Will it work? Have I accounted for every variable? Have I manipulated the pieces on the board just right? (He let out a deep breath, attempting to steady himself.)
The Lunatic: But what if... What if it all falls apart? What if my grand vision crumbles before my eyes? (His voice wavered, revealing a crack in his once unshakable confidence.) No! I mustn't doubt, I've come too far. This is our purpose.
He clenched his fists.
The Lunatic: In six days, all will be revealed. The true test of strength with Blizzard will be the culmination of my efforts, the moment when everything falls into place.
The Lunatic's gaze hardened as he stared at the countdown timer on the screen.
The Lunatic: Until then, I must stay focused. There is no room for doubt or hesitation. Our dream of a better reality awaits, and I will stop at nothing to achieve it.
The Lunatic turned away from the console. He stepped forward.
The Lunatic: Six days... Just six days until the final reckoning! Blizzard, prepare yourself. You have no idea what awaits you.
The ship continued its journey through the Hyper verse, carrying with it the weight of the Lunatic's ambitions and the uncertainty that gnawed at his mind. As the days ticked by, he would prepare himself for the ultimate test, where the true extent of his power and the validity of his dreams would be put to the ultimate trial.
The atmosphere in the dense jungle was thick with tension as Blizzard and his companions pressed forward, accompanying Naked Snake on his mission. The vibrant foliage rustled in response to the subtle shifts in the wind, their footsteps muffled by the undergrowth. Amidst the backdrop of nature's symphony, a momentary disturbance shattered the tranquility, jolting Blizzard to a halt.
Confused, Blizzard reached up to touch his face, only to realize that a single tear had escaped his eyes. The moisture on his fingertips mirrored the inexplicable melancholy he felt deep within his heart. Questions swirled in his mind, but answers eluded him.
Blizzard's eyes widened, reflecting the subtle glimmers of uncertainty. He brought a hand to his face, feeling the lone tear that had escaped his eye, mirroring the unexplainable sorrow that engulfed his heart. His voice trembled slightly.
Blizzard: Buddy, do you feel that? Something... something doesn't feel right. It's as if the world itself is mourning (Blizzard spoke softly.) his tone laced with a mixture of confusion and concern.
The Dream Eater, attuned to Blizzard's emotions, responded with a concerned chirp, its eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and worry.
Dream Eater: I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's as if the very fabric of reality has been shaken. Have you noticed anything unusual? (The Dream Eater questioned, his voice filled with a mixture of unease and anticipation.)
Unbeknownst to Blizzard, the world outside their current reality had undergone a cataclysmic event. The destruction of Yen-Sid's Tower, the battle that unfolded, and the sacrifice made by Yen-Sid, were events that remained hidden from his knowledge.
William: Blizzard, I feel it too. There's an underlying sadness, an unexplained weight that lingers in the air.
The Dream Eater companion, sensing the gravity of the situation, let out a low growl, its eyes darting back and forth as if scanning the surrounding foliage for any signs of danger. The trio exchanged a solemn glance.
As they ventured deeper into the jungle, the Dream Eater suddenly halted its steps, its fluffy ears perking up. It turned around, a worried expression etched across its face. Blizzard and William exchanged confused glances, unaware of the events that had transpired outside of this Locked World. The Dream Eater let out a series of distressed chirps, as if sensing something amiss, while the trio pressed on, still unaware of the tragic fate that had occured.
Blizzard turned to his Dream Eater, a mixture of concern and understanding in his eyes.
Blizzard: What's troubling you, Buddy? You seem as confused as we are. Do you sense something amiss in this world?
His Dream Eater shook its head, emphatically, a gesture that helped to quell Blizzard's worries, but only slightly. The sadness was still there, like a distant voice on the wind, but what it meant he couldn't say. He knew it was something more than mere sorrow, it was something deeper, something more profound. Blizzard decided that now was not the time for him to dwell on it. There would be time for answers later. For now, they had a mission to complete.
Naked Snake's voice carried a sense of urgency as he explained the identity of the muscular man on the helicopter. His gaze shifted from Blizzard to William, gauging their reactions.
Naked Snake: Nikolai Stephanovich Sokolov, the scientist we're trying to rescue, was forced to work under Colonel Volgin, (Naked Snake revealed.) Volgin is a high-ranking member of the GRU, the Soviet Union's secret military intelligence agency. He's known for his ruthless tactics and extreme nationalism.
Blizzard furrowed his brow, trying to grasp the gravity of the situation.
Blizzard: So, this Colonel Volgin launched a nuclear missile at his own allies? Why would he do something like that?
Naked Snake nodded, his eyes reflecting the weight of the knowledge he possessed.
Naked Snake: Volgin is a volatile and unpredictable individual. He holds a deep resentment towards those he perceives as enemies to his cause. In his mind, the missile strike was a show of power and a means to assert dominance.
William listened intently, his curiosity piqued.
William: And how does this all tie into Sokolov and our mission?
Naked Snake took a deep breath, choosing his words carefully.
Naked Snake: Sokolov possesses crucial knowledge about a top-secret Soviet weapon project, the Shagohod. Volgin is willing to go to any lengths to ensure Sokolov's cooperation. By nuking that military outpost, he sent a message and displayed the consequences of defiance.
Blizzard's grip on his Keyblade tightened, concern etched across his face.
Blizzard: If Volgin is as dangerous as you say, we need to be cautious. This mission just became a lot more complicated.
The dense jungle enveloped the team as they cautiously made their way through the thick foliage. The air was heavy with tension, each step taken with precision and vigilance. Blizzard and William, focused and alert, kept their senses sharp, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger. He could feel the weight of the mission on his shoulders, understanding the importance of rescuing Sokolov and preventing further chaos.
Naked Snake, battle-hardened and experienced, maintained a calm and focused demeanor. His keen instincts and tactical expertise guided the team forward, carefully avoiding enemy patrols and traps set by the Cobras. He knew the risks involved and the sacrifices that had to be made to ensure the success of their mission.
Silent communication passed between the group as they pressed on, their footsteps blending with the natural sounds of the jungle. The gravity of their mission hung in the air, each member understanding the potential consequences if they failed.
Naked Snake paused for a moment, his brow furrowing in confusion as the radio crackled to life. He lifted his wrist and adjusted the frequency, recognizing Major Zero's voice on the other end.
Major Zero: Snake, how have these two teenagers managed to survive alone in the treacherous jungle for seven days? (Major Zero's voice came through the radio, filled with curiosity and concern.)
Naked Snake glanced at Blizzard and William, considering the question.
Naked Snake: To be honest, Major, I'm not entirely sure. They appeared out of nowhere and have been surprisingly resourceful at the start of my previous mission. It's like they have some kind of uncanny survival instinct.
Major Zero voice crackled through the radio, his tone confident and reassuring.
Major Zero: Understood, Snake. Sometimes, we encounter individuals who possess extraordinary resilience and adaptability. We must trust in their abilities, especially in a mission as critical as this.
Naked Snake nodded to himself, acknowledging Major Zero's point.
Naked Snake: You're right, Major. We'll need every advantage we can get to navigate this jungle and complete the mission.
Suddenly, a new voice chimed in over the radio, belonging to Para-Medic.
Para-Medic: Hello there, Snake. I'm Para-Medic. I'll be your source of medical advice and support. If you ever need information about plants, animals, or even field medicine, I'm your go-to person. Nice to meet you.
Naked Snake smirked, appreciating the added support.
Naked Snake: Good to have you on the team, Paramedic. Your expertise will undoubtedly come in handy.
Just as Snake was about to respond, another voice interrupted, belonging to Mr. Signit.
Mr. Signit: Yo, Snake! Mr. Signit here. If you need any intel or information on the battlefield, I'm your man. Just give me a shout, and I'll provide you with all the latest updates and tactical analysis. Let's kick some ass!
Naked Snake couldn't help but chuckle at Mr. Signit's enthusiastic tone.
Naked Snake: Great to have you onboard, Mr. Signit. Your real-time intelligence will be invaluable during this mission.
Major Zero's voice returned, bringing their focus back to the mission.
Major Zero: With Para-Medic and Mr. Signit on our side, we have a wealth of knowledge and support at our disposal. Utilize their expertise, Snake. We need to gather as much information as possible to ensure a successful operation.
Naked Snake: Major, I need some information. We're looking for a person named Adam. Do you have any leads on his whereabouts?
There was a brief pause before Major Zero responded.
Major Zero: Ah, Adam. Yes, I've got some information for you, Snake. He should be somewhere in the vicinity, near a factory. But listen carefully. When you find him, you'll need to use a password to confirm his identity. It's a rather peculiar one. You'll have to say. Who are the Patriots? La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo.
Blizzard and William exchanged confused glances, trying to stifle their laughter.
Blizzard: Seriously, Snake? That's the password? (Blizzard chuckled.)
Naked Snake smirked, scratching his head.
Naked Snake: Yeah, it does sound a bit unusual, doesn't it? But it's the way these things work. We'll have to play by their rules.
William joined in the laughter, unable to contain himself.
William: La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo! Who comes up with this stuff? What even!
Naked Snake chuckled along with them, appreciating the light-hearted moment amidst the tension.
Naked Snake: I guess secrecy demands some strange passwords. But let's not underestimate the importance of finding Adam. He might have valuable information.
Blizzard nodded, his laughter subsiding. Agreed. We'll need to stay focused and find Adam to proceed with the mission.
Naked Snake adjusted his gear.
Naked Snake: Alright, let's keep our eyes and ears open. We'll find Adam and get the answers we need, no matter how absurd the password may be.
4:30 AM
13 hours remain.
As the group ventured deeper into the jungle, their senses heightened, attuned to any unusual sounds or movements. Suddenly, a faint noise caught their attention, a rustling amidst the dense foliage. Naked Snake's grip on his gun tightened, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of danger.
Blizzard, his Dream Eater, and William followed closely behind, their senses alert and ready. They trusted in Naked Snake's expertise and instincts, prepared for any surprises the jungle may hold.
Advancing cautiously, Naked Snake approached the source of the sound. As he pushed through a thicket of tangled vines, a sight greeted their eyes: a white horse standing alone in the middle of the jungle. It appeared calm and strangely out of place, wearing a saddle as if waiting for its rider.
Naked Snake lowered his gun, his gaze shifting from the horse to his companions. Confusion and intrigue filled the air, mingling with the sounds of the surrounding wildlife.
Before any of them could react further, a feminine voice resonated through the jungle air, causing them to turn their heads in surprise.
Familiar Voice: Looks like death was not ready for you yet.
The voice carried an air of authority, a subtle blend of strength and melancholy. The group's attention quickly focused on the figure stepping forward from the shadows, donned in a flowing green cloak.
It was The Boss, her presence both awe-inspiring and enigmatic.
Naked Snake's voice trembled slightly as he uttered.
Naked Snake: Boss?
He couldn't help but feel a mix of confusion, resentment, and an underlying sense of betrayal. Why would The Boss show up now, at the beginning of his second mission in the heart of the jungle? Was she here to taunt him, to remind him of his task to eliminate her and the Cobra Unit?
Without missing a beat, The Boss replied, her voice laced with a hint of somberness.
The Boss: Does that arm still hurt? (Her words cut through the air, stirring memories of the pain and loss Naked Snake had endured in his previous encounters with her.)
Naked Snake: Why are you here? (Naked Snake demanded, his voice filled with a mixture of defiance and frustration. The presence of The Boss sent shivers down his spine, reminding him of the formidable foe she had always been.)
In response, The Boss unleashed her formidable aura, a palpable wave of power that washed over the entire group. The intensity of her gaze was suffocating, causing Blizzard, the Dream Eater, William, and even Naked Snake himself to be temporarily paralyzed, frozen in fear of the impending doom that seemed to loom over them.
In those few paralyzing seconds, Blizzard's mind raced, screaming silently for them to defend themselves, to find a way to fight back. But their bodies remained unresponsive, locked in place by The Boss's overwhelming presence.
As the paralyzing grip loosened its hold, a surge of newfound energy coursed through Naked Snake's veins. His own aura flared to life. With each passing second, his movements regained their fluidity, and he was once again able to act.
Taking a step forward, Naked Snake locked eyes with The Boss, his voice laced with caution.
Naked Snake: If you're here to harm us, then we won't go down without a fight.
The air grew tense, the clash of wills palpable. The stage was set for a battle that would test their mettle and shape the course of their destiny.
Naked Snake engaged in a close-quarters combat CQC struggle with The Boss, who swiftly removed her green cloak to reveal a white suit, signaling her readiness for hand-to-hand combat. Unlike before, she did not summon her Keyblade, appearing determined to teach Snake a lesson.
Snake attempted to shoot her with his pistol, but The Boss effortlessly disarmed him, swiftly countering with her CQC expertise. She skillfully subdued him, throwing him to the ground with a forceful motion. As Snake looked up in disbelief, he watched as she dismantled his gun before his eyes, her actions mocking his feeble attempt.
In a mocking tone, The Boss uttered the words.
The Boss: Go home. (Her voice dripped with scorn, a stark reminder of their diverging paths and the seemingly insurmountable gap in skill between them.)
As Blizzard, his Dream Eater and William remained paralyzed by The Boss's aura, they watched helplessly as Naked Snake struggled to his feet to confront her in hand-to-hand combat. However, The Boss swiftly grabbed Snake's arm, delivering a powerful elbow strike to his chest, and effortlessly threw him to the ground once again.
With an air of superiority, The Boss taunted.
The Boss: Go home. The GRU and my sons await ahead. You have no chance of completing your mission. You're not even armed. (She began to walk away, dismissing the notion of further engagement.)
As Naked Snake attempted to crawl towards The Boss, a desperate attempt to land a punch, she effortlessly dodged his feeble attack. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly grabbed his arm, delivering a forceful kick to his chest before throwing him to the ground once again.
With a chilling demeanor, The Boss declared.
The Boss: I am not your Boss anymore. There is nothing for you here. Go home. Go back to your Boss. (She summoned her long metallic Keyblade and aimed it threateningly at Snake, ready to strike him down.) There is no need to prove your virtue here.
Snake, battered and overwhelmed, could only gaze up at The Boss, realizing the futility of his struggle against her immense power.
As The Boss launched her Keyblade multiple times like a boomerang around the area of the jungle they are currently in, causing the ground to tremble violently, Blizzard, his Dream Eater, and William watched in awe and shock at her raw power. The sheer force of her attacks created a devastating earthquake, sending ripples of destruction through the surrounding jungle.
With an air of authority, The Boss declared.
The Boss: This is not America. (Her words hung in the air, emphasizing the significance of their current location and the gravity of their situation.) That should shake up things a bit. (She added, an acknowledgment of the disturbance she had caused, likely alerting nearby enemy soldiers.)
Blizzard, his Dream Eater, and William exchanged glances, understanding the immense challenge they faced in this encounter. The Boss had made her message clear, her power was unmatched, and they would need to tread carefully if they were to stand any chance against her.
As The Boss stood amidst the rumbling thunder and pouring rain, the storm intensified around them. The dark clouds grew heavier, casting an ominous shadow over the battlefield. The deafening roar of thunder echoed through the air, matching the intensity of the moment.
Noticing the sudden shift in weather, The Boss couldn't help but comment with a hint of sarcasm.
The Boss: Ah, how fitting. A storm to accompany our encounter. (Her voice carried an air of amusement, as if finding amusement in the dramatic turn of events.)
However, her attention was quickly diverted as she sensed something peculiar. Both Blizzard and William, despite being paralyzed by her aura, emitted faint particles of white light from their hands. It was a phenomenon she hadn't anticipated, momentarily intriguing her.
Intrigued, The Boss repressed her aura, allowing Blizzard and William a brief respite from their immobility. She observed them closely, waiting to see what would unfold.
The Boss narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed upon Blizzard, William, and the peculiar-looking stuffed toy that stood upright like a human. She couldn't deny her curiosity about the faint particles of light she had witnessed emanating from their hands earlier. Her voice carried a sense of intrigue and wariness as she addressed them.
The Boss: What this? A curious display of light... Power hidden within such insignificant beings. Tell me, what is the meaning of this phenomenon? You stand before me as enemies, yet there is something peculiar about you. Speak, if you have answers.
Blizzard and William remained silent, their expressions reflecting a mix of surprise and apprehension. The Dream Eater, standing beside Blizzard, observed The Boss, waiting for her next move.
The Boss: I am not one for idle banter, so do not test my patience. Explain yourselves, and perhaps I shall consider sparing your lives... for now.
The thunderstorm intensified, casting an eerie glow upon the surroundings. Through the veil of rain, Blizzard and William squinted their eyes, trying to make sense of the figure standing behind The Boss. The translucent image of an old man, barely visible, appeared to be wearing a green hooded cloak and glasses. It sent chills down their spines, unsure if it was a hallucination or something more.
Blizzard: (whispering to William) Do you see that? Is it just me, or is there someone else there?
William: I see him too. Who is he? A ghost?
Blizzard: I don't know, but we should stay quiet. The Boss seems unaware of his presence.
The Sorrow, floating silently behind The Boss, remained motionless, his gaze fixed upon her. His transparent form seemed to emanate an aura of sadness and loss. It was as if he was a phantom from another realm, haunting the battlefield.
The Boss: (impatiently) Enough of your silence! Answer me!
Blizzard and William exchanged glances, their attention divided between The Boss and the enigmatic figure behind her.
The sound of thunder and rain filled the air as Blizzard and William summoned their Keyblades, prepared to defend themselves against The Boss looming threat. The Boss regarded them with a mixture of curiosity and caution, acknowledging the familiar sight of their weapons.
The Boss: Anomalous weapons, much like the one I gained as a child. Interesting... It appears that you both possess these extraordinary artifacts. You two may be young, but you are undoubtedly a menace. I cannot allow you to roam freely.
Blizzard: (gripping his Keyblade tightly) If you stand in our way, we will defend ourselves.
William: We may be young, but we won't be underestimated.
The Boss's gaze intensified, assessing the resolve emanating from the two Keyblade wielders. She remained composed, her mind working to decipher the origins and purpose of these mysterious weapons.
Blizzard: Just so you know, we may not fully understand the extent of our abilities, but we'll use them to bring about a better future.
As the rain poured down and lightning streaked across the darkened sky, Blizzard and William stood firm, ready to face her.
The Boss: (smirking) Such naive notions. Let's see how well you fare against me.
With a swift motion, The Boss lunged forward, her Keyblade clashing against Blizzard's and William's.
As Naked Snake watched from the ground in amazement, The Boss directed her long and massive metallic Keyblade towards William and Blizzard, ready to strike them down. With swift movements, she lunged forward, aiming to overwhelm them with her powerful attacks.
Blizzard and William instinctively raised their Keyblades to defend themselves. Blizzard utilized his second Keyblade, 'Inferno,' and utilized his titanium arm to parry The Boss' relentless assault. The clash of their weapons echoed through the air as sparks flew.
The intense battle between Blizzard, William, and The Boss continued, each side pushing their limits to gain the upper hand. The sheer force and skill displayed in their clashes made it evident that this encounter would not be easily resolved.
As the battle continues, Blizzard and William, despite their injuries, continue to fight valiantly against The Boss. They use their Keyblades to defend themselves and counterattack, attempting to find an opening to strike back. However, The Boss's skill and experience prove to be formidable, as she effortlessly dodges and deflects their attacks with her Keyblade. She retaliates with swift and precise strikes, breaking their limbs and rendering them unable to move.
Blizzard and William lie on the ground, their bodies battered and broken. They can only watch as The Boss turns her attention towards Naked Snake, indicating that he is the next to face her. The air is filled with tension as the fate of the battle hangs in the balance.
As Naked Snake attempts to engage The Boss in close quarters combat, he finds himself outmatched by her superior skills and strength. Despite his best efforts, his attacks are swiftly countered, and he is unable to land a single blow. The Boss effortlessly breaks his bones one by one, immobilizing him and leaving him defenseless.
Blizzard and William, though in excruciating pain from their own injuries, can only watch helplessly as Naked Snake suffers at the hands of The Boss. They are unable to assist him, their bones broken and unable to move. The atmosphere is tense and filled with a sense of impending doom.
As The Boss finishes breaking the bones of Naked Snake, she stands over him, a triumphant smile on her face. She looks at Blizzard, William, and the terrified Dream Eater, asserting her dominance over them.
The Boss: (mocking tone) You see? This is the reality of the situation. You are outmatched, outgunned. It's time for you to go home and abandon this futile resistance.
Blizzard, William, and the Dream Eater can only watch in fear, unable to muster any defense against The Boss. Her presence alone is overwhelming, and they now know the immense power she possesses.
The Boss: (coldly) Remember, there is no shame in admitting defeat. It is the wise choice.
With a final smirk, The Boss turns and ride her white horse, far into the jungle, leaving the broken and defeated group behind, but not before stomping the right hand of Naked Snake with the foot of her white horse.
The Boss: If we ever meet again, you know what to expect.
Naked Snake: ARRGHh!
Blizzard, lying on the ground in pain, manages to summon a small smile, despite the agony he feels. He looks at Naked Snake and William, both equally broken and struggling to even speak.
Blizzard: (grimacing) Great... Just my luck. Seems like all my worst enemies are women. Give me a break...
William, barely able to lift his head, chuckles weakly, his voice strained.
William: (through clenched teeth) Guess... you just have... a type... of luck... huh?
Blizzard: A luck that i have inherited...
Naked Snake, his face contorted in pain, musters a faint laugh, wincing as he does so.
Naked Snake: (gritting his teeth) Well, at least... we have each other... in this... Messed up situation.
Despite their dire circumstances, a sense of camaraderie and dark humor fills the air, momentarily distracting them from the excruciating pain they are experiencing.
Blizzard: (smirking) Yeah... I sure know... How to find em.
William: (forcing a smile) Definitely... Never a dull moment...
Blizzard, struggling to find a way out of their dire predicament, turns to his Dream Eater, a mixture of desperation and resolve in his eyes.
Blizzard: (weakly) Buddy... I need your help... try to drag me... out of here.
The Dream Eater, which was visibly terrified by The Boss and the chaotic situation, hesitates for a moment before nodding reluctantly.
Dream Eater: (nervously) I-I'll try my best... But you're... heavy...
With all the strength it can muster, the Dream Eater approaches Blizzard, gripping normal arm with its small paws. It strains against the weight, its tiny frame shaking with the effort.
Blizzard: (gritting his teeth) Come on... Buddy... you can do it... just a little further...
As the Dream Eater pulls with all its might, Blizzard winces in pain, his broken bones causing waves of agony to wash over him. Despite the excruciating ordeal, he keeps encouraging the Dream Eater, resolved to escape their dire situation.
Dream Eater: (struggling) I-I'm... trying... Just... hold on...
They make slow progress, Blizzard gritting his teeth to suppress his cries of pain, while the Dream Eater's fear is palpable. But their teamwork push them forward, inch by agonizing inch.
Suddenly, the sound of approaching enemy soldiers grows louder, their voices echoing through the jungle. Time is running out.
Blizzard: (through clenched teeth) We need to hurry... They're getting closer...
Dream Eater: (panicking) I-I'm going as fast as I can!
With a final burst of effort, the Dream Eater manages to drag Blizzard to a nearby patch of dense foliage, partially concealing him from view.
Blizzard: (gasping for breath) Good... job... Buddy... We made it... for now...
Dream Eater: (trembling) W-We did... But what do we do next?
Blizzard, in immense pain and desperation, frantically signals his Dream Eater to search his backpack for any available potions. With trembling paws, the Dream Eater rummages through the bag and discovers a vial containing an elixir. Understanding Blizzard's urgency, the Dream Eater carefully uncorks the vial and assists Blizzard in drinking the potent liquid.
Blizzard's body convulses as the elixir courses through his veins. He screams in agony as his broken bones forcefully reform and reset themselves, his wounds closing at an accelerated pace. The excruciating sensation of bones shifting and wounds closing overwhelms him. His face contorts in agony, but he grits his teeth, knowing that this is the only way to regain his strength. With every passing moment, Blizzard feels his broken bones realigning, his injuries mending, and his energy returning to its peak.
As the transformation completes, Blizzard's pain subsides, replaced by a renewed vigor and vitality. He stands tall, his once broken body now whole and ready for action.
Blizzard: (grateful) Thank you, Buddy. You've saved me once again.
The Dream Eater nods.
Just as the sounds of the moving soldiers grew louder, Blizzard quickly reacts to the imminent threat, knowing the importance of protecting his allies. Without hesitation, he presses his shoulder pad, summoning his Keyblade Armor, which envelops him in a layer of protective blue steel. With enhanced speed and strength, he charges forward, wielding his Keyblades 'Frostbite' and 'Inferno' with precision and skill.
The corrupted enemies soldiers stand no chance against Blizzard's relentless assault. With each swing of his Keyblades, he strikes them down one by one, his movements fluid and calculated. The clash of metal against flesh reverberates through the air as Blizzard defends his comrades, ensuring their safety in a ruthless way.
Blizzard's Keyblade Armor gleams in the moonlight as he moves with unrivaled agility, maneuvering effortlessly between enemies. His strikes are swift and powerful, delivering decisive fatal blows. As the battle unfolds, Blizzard remains focused, his every move calculated to protect his allies and eliminate the threat
As the last of the corrupted enemies soldiers fall on the ground dead, a momentary calm settles over the battlefield. He stands victorious, his Keyblade Armor radiating with a blue glow, covered in blood. Turning his attention to William and Naked Snake
Blizzard took a deep breath, his body still recovering from the short fight. He slowly raised his hand and focused his energy, causing his Keyblade Armor to dissipate and return to its dormant state. As the metallic plates vanished, Blizzard could feel the drain on his stamina, a reminder that he needed to use it more often if he wished to master it without the weight of stamina drain.
Blizzard: Phew, that armor really takes it out of me (Blizzard muttered to himself) his breath slightly labored. He turned to William and Naked Snake, concern etched on his face. Alright, listen up. We don't have much time. Healing magic can be painful, but it's our best chance to get back on our feet.
William nodded, while Naked Snake struggled to sit up, his injuries still causing him immense pain. Blizzard approached them, offering support as he gently placed a hand on each of their shoulders.
Blizzard: Just focus on staying still and breathing. We'll get through this.
He closed his eyes, tapping into the wellspring of his magic, and a gentle, warm glow enveloped his hands.
Blizzard: Heal!
Carefully, he directed the healing energy into William and Naked Snake, their wounds starting to mend as the magic flowed through them.
After what felt like an eternity, Blizzard finally withdrew his hands, the healing magic subsiding. He glanced at William and Naked Snake, relieved to see the color returning to their faces and the pain slowly fading from their expressions.
Naked Snake grimaced.
Naked Snake: It was a horrifying sight, watching her overpower and break you both. She's on a different level, trained for years, honing her skills.
Blizzard, his expression grim, interjected.
Blizzard: I gave it everything I had, but she's just too powerful. It's like fighting a force of nature. We need to find a way to overcome her paralysis aura, but it feels almost impossible.
William, his voice filled with frustration, added.
William: I can't believe how strong she is. We're outmatched in every way. It's disheartening to admit, but I don't think we can beat her.
Naked Snake looked at Blizzard and William, his expression filled with concern.
Naked Snake: Are you two considering on giving up and leaving this jungle? i won't blame you both.
Blizzard hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting as he contemplated the question. He understood the danger they faced and the overwhelming power of The Boss. He knew that leaving might be the safer choice, but something within him refused to accept defeat so easily. Contemplating the options before him. He knew that The Boss could have easily taken their lives if she had chosen to. He considered a possibility.
Blizzard finally spoke up, his voice filled with caution.
Blizzard: Mastering my Keyblade Armor could potentially help me resist The Boss' aura, but I've only just acquired it. I'm uncertain if it will be enough to overcome her power.
William: It's a risky move, Blizzard. We shouldn't underestimate her.
Naked Snake listened to their thoughts, knowing the gravity of the situation. He understood their concerns and the need to carefully assess their options. He spoke with a serious tone.
Naked Snake: You're right. Rushing into a battle with The Boss could be fatal. We need a plan, a strategy to level the playing field. Let's take the time to gather more informations about her weapon later on.
Blizzard and William nodded, realizing the importance of a well-thought-of plan. They knew they couldn't afford to make hasty decisions or underestimate The Boss. They would need to combine their skills and knowledge to find a way to confront her.
The three of them sat in silence. They understood the risks involved, but they were willing to find a way to accomplish their mission, right now, they need to find this Adam.
