"Northwest of Vale, 2 years ago. We got our hands on intel that Liquid Snake was involved with the White Fang. The timing was too convenient, but Liquid kept our nose out in the cold for too long."

A lone man in a cloak was walking throughout the northwest area of the kingdom of Vale, with nothing but a cigarette, the sounds of the night and the sound of the rain pouring down to accompany him.
While on the surface, the man was just wandering around aimlessly but in reality, the man was actually walking towards something. Cool, calm and collected, the man continued on walking while enjoying his smoke before he stopped suddenly, and turned his head to look left.
He saw an old, decently sized warehouse in the distance from where he currently was before started to make his way there, being as inconspicuous as he could which came incredibly natural to him.
Making his way to the warehouse, the man was able to see a few masked individuals as he used the nearby trees and bushes to conceal his presence, and took a moment to assess the situation.
He noticed a few members of the White Fang, one of the most notable Faunus rights groups in the world that in recent years, turned to more violent methods outside, as he threw his nearly finished cigarette to distract the guards as he snuck right past them, and entered the building through the back.
He then quickly found a place to conceal his presence when he could overhear a very familiar voice.
"Be alert. He'll be here soon, I know it. And be on your guard, he has a lot of tricks up his sleeves." The voice said before going down an elevator as the man then removed his cloak, revealing his sneaking suit and getting a good look on his face.
The man is in fact Remnant's greatest soldier and hero, Solid Snake.
Snake pulled out his traq gun and used it to knock out a few White Fang members, making the coast clear as he hopped onto the Codec.
"It's Snake. Do you read me Otacon?"
"Loud and clear Snake. What's the situation?"
"Your intel was spot on as usual, Liquid's involved with the White Fang."
"It's just as I feared, Liquid's been supplying them with weapons. Though what Liquid has to gain from this, I have no idea."
"Whatever it is, it can't be good. Have Izuku and Raiden arrived yet?"
"Yeah, they're making their way in through the roof. Liquid won't get away it, this time.
"Got it, I'm ready to go." Snake cut transmission as he looked at the roof and saw two people drop onto the rafters and drop in front of Snake, those being one of Snake's closest friends and partner Jack, better known as Raiden and his son, Izuku.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Snake." Raiden said as the trio made their way to the bottom part of the warehouse, avoiding detection from the White Fang members as they made it to the elevator and took it downwards.
As it turns out, the warehouse was also doubling as a massive underground facility as the three began their way through the facility, completely maintaining the fact that the White Fang don't know they are even there in the first place.
They then entered a large area as Snake spotted a lone White Fang member enter a side room before telling Izuku and Raiden to stay put, before making his way into the side room as he snuck up on the White Fang member and caught him in a choke hold.
The White Fang member tried to break free from Snake's hold, but was ultimately unable to escape from Snake's hold.
"The security room, where is it?!" Snake ordered as the fang member got more terrified as Snake increased his grip.
"Spill it, now!!!" Snake said, not in the mood of games which quickly got the fang member to cooperate with him.
"S-S-Second floor, on the right hallway from the elevator right below us, keep going straight then go left, you can't miss it." The fang member said as Snake thanked him for his cooperation, before knocking him out cold and made his way back to Izuku and Raiden, as they made their way to the elevator.
Meanwhile, deep in the facility, a man with long, flowing blonde hair walked into a large area, filled with lots of White Fang members while he had a bunch of cases being pushed by some of his own men.
The man is Snake's clone brother, Liquid Snake.
"Looks like Christmas came early boys." Liquid said while laughing as he walked up to one specific member, Adam Taurus.
"I hope they didn't cause you any trouble, Liquid." Adam said as he and Liquid shook hands.
"Nonsense. Now, let's get to business." Liquid said before snapping his fingers as one of his men brought some of the cases to Adam as he opened it, and was shocked seeing the contents.
"That's right Adam, high tech Atlas weaponry, freshly smuggled I may add." Liquid said with a smug look on his face as Adam just looked surprised.
"How were you able to smuggle weapons out of Atlas in the first place?"
"Pays to have friends in the right places." Liquid said as he brought another case and opened it in front of Adam, revealing lots of freshly stolen dust.
"Courtesy of a good friend of mine." Liquid said as the rest of the dust was given to Adam and his men.
Meanwhile, Snake, Raiden and Izuku managed to find the security room as they knocked out the one operating it and put him in a nearby locker, before Snake pulled out a drive and plugged it into the console as he, Raiden and Izuku all called Otacon.
"Otacon, the drive's in place."
"Great work Snake, now time to work my magic." Otacon said as he started to hack into the facility's security system.
"I still can't believe the White Fang are doing all of this." Izuku said while in complete disbelief over their more recent action.
"Izuku, people tend to do extremely drastic things to get what they want. Besides, there are other smaller faunus groups doing stuff like this, so it's not out of the ordinary." Otacon explained to his nephew figure.
"Keyword being smaller, Otacon. The White Fang is basically the biggest faunus rights group in the planet. Besides, they've been pacifist for years, so why start resorting to violence now?" Raiden questioned Otacon as Snake nodded his head in agreement with Raiden.
"Raiden's got a point, Otacon. The White Fang turning violent will ultimately result in other faunus groups believing that being violent is the better option then being peaceful and civilized, which gives more reason for people to be scared of and hate the faunus." Snake explained that Raiden, Izuku and Otacon were all in agreement.
"What even caused the White Fang to go down this path in the first place anyway?" Izuku asked as the adults took a moment to think about his question.
"If I had to guess, most likely a leadership change." Raiden suggested as Snake looked at his partner.
"Think it was willingly or by force?"
"Hard to say Snake. I want to say it was a willing change in leadership since it seems the whole White Fang seems to have signed off on this, but I could be wrong." Raiden said as Otacon finished hacking into the security system as he started switching the camera feeds to find where Liquid is.
However, they all noticed there were more unconscious White Fang members which raised Snake, Raiden and Izuku's suspension as Otacon continued switching camera feed when they then noticed someone else was there as well, a faunus girl which got Izuku's attention.
She was wearing a black and white outfit that suited her figure well, and she had cat ears on her head, giving a good indication that she's a cat faunus.
"Woah, she's really beautiful." Izuku said while being enchanted by her beauty as Raiden chuckled and playfully hit Izuku's shoulder.
"We need to get an id on her ASAP, so we can figure out where her alliances lay."
"Already on it, Snake. I'll get on that right away." Otacon said over the Codec as he then switched the camera feed to where Liquid's location is, being in the 6th level of the facility.
"Gah, Liquid's supplying The White Fang weapons and dust!!!' Snake said with shock while seeing his brother laughing on the security footage.
"Whatever Liquid's planning with them, it can't be good!" Raiden said as the trio made a b line towards Liquid's location.
After arriving to the 6th level, they saw a massive shutter door while thinking how they were going to get past the door, when they heard someone coming as they all hid and saw the faunus girl from earlier.
She walked towards the shutter door and also wondered how she'd get past the door, when she looked to her left, thinking she saw someone there but just saw a box and shrugged it off, before she jumped to an opening in the top part of the area as Snake came out of the box.
"That was close." Snake said while breathing a sigh of relief as Izuku and Raiden came out of their hiding spots when they got a call from Otacon.
"Guys, I got an id on our mystery faunus."
"Who is she, Otacon?" Raiden asked, keen to know who she was.
"Blake Belladonna."
"Cute name." Izuku quipped, getting a chuckle from Snake and Raiden.
"From what I could find her father started the White Fang, and seems like she was born into the whole thing. "
"Interesting, sounds like she's basically royalty in the fang." Snake remarked as Izuku then realized something.
"Wait, if she's part of the White Fang, why is she sneaking around? She should have gotten here before we did. . . . . . . . unless they didn't want her to be here." Izuku said as Snake and Raiden took a moment to think before immediately getting onto the same page as Izuku.
"If she's basically royalty in the fang as Snake said, she could blow this whole thing wide open if she wants to." Raiden said as he, Snake and Izuku all looked at each other, all being on the same page on what to do next.
"Otacon, bring the helicopter over. We're going to need it." Snake said as Izuku jumped up to the same opening Blake did.
"On it Snake." Otacon said before hanging up as Snake crawled into a nearby vent while Raiden opened the shutter door before jumping up to Izuku, and went through the opening as several White Fang members checked the area, extremely confused why the shutter door suddenly opened, thinking it was a malfunction.
While sneaking through the vent, Snake overheard Liquid talking with Adam as he just glared through the grates while he continued crawling through the vent, while Izuku and Raiden were sneaking in the rafters, also overhearing Liquid and Adam's discussion.
"How many more weapons are you planning to give us, Liquid?" Adam asked as Liquid simply laughed at Adam's question.
"Enough to transform the White Fang into a proper army." Liquid said which really piqued Adam's curiosity and gave Snake, Raiden and Izuku a massive sense of dread.
'Damn you Liquid, what are you up to now?!' Snake wondered to himself as he finished crawling through the vent as he crouched behind a stack of boxes to conceal his location while still listening to Liquid and Adam.
"Once things have been finalized, we'll launch a massive, large-scale attack on Atlas." Liquid said as Izuku, Snake and Raiden's hearts all dropped, while Adam was surprised with Liquid's declaration.
"You're kidding." Adam said in shock as Liquid simply shook his head.
"I never kid, my friend. Besides, you all have suffered because of Atlas, them constantly treating all faunus as nothing but slaves, and only caring about themselves, not knowing what it's truly like to suffer. But that will all change." Liquid said as all the White Fang members were all taken aback but were quickly on board with Liquid.
"Not that I don't want the Schnee Dust Company to fall, but what about Atlas' military?" Adam asked, understandably being considered about the pushback but Liquid just laughed.
"Hahahaaha, oh please. General Ironwood and his 'Ace Opps' are not even close to being a threat! Hell, they should be called 'simulated soldiers', they have no ounce of warrior's pride, no idea what it's like to truly fight as a warrior. The only one of them worth a single damn is just a girl with daddy issues. And do remember, Atlas did create me after all." Liquid said while laughing with a smug look on his face, as Adam got a sadistic smirk on his face.
Snake was about to show himself when Blake unintentionally gave herself away, before putting her hands up and showing herself.
"Blake?!" Adam said in complete shock at her being there as Liquid looked at him with an amused look on his face.
"Friend of yours, Adam?" Liquid said with a snarky tone.
"I'm her mentor." Adam said as Liquid just laughed in amusement, while Blake just looked at Adam.
"Adam, why are you doing all this?" Blake asked, feeling all kinds of feelings flowing through her mind, mainly sadness and betrayal.
"What else Blake, I'm doing this for our people. And this gentleman here is the only human I can trust." Adam said, hoping to get through to Blake, but that was ultimately not to come to pass.
"Adam, you do know that's Liquid Snake, one of, if not the greatest criminal and terrorist in Remnant's history!" Blake said as Liquid just smirked.
"You've done your homework kitty, I'm impressed. And if you think about it, you are all terrorists as well, so we're not too different." Liquid said with a shit eating grin on his face as Blake just shook her head.
"N-No, we're doing this for the sake of all faunus, you do what you do just to satisfy your urge for madness and bloodlust." Blake snapped back at Liquid, only for the blonde snake to laugh.
"Hahahah, you think I'm just another lunatic who seeks mindless chaos and violence?! No, I want to create a world where soldiers are always needed and will always have a place." Liquid explained to the faunus girl as Snake, Raiden and Izuku were all really to attack at any moment.
"That's, that's just what Big Boss wanted. Why do you want to do that?" Blake asked as Liquid glared at her.
"To surpass, humiliate and stick it to my father, have him rolling in his grave that his inferior son succeeded where he failed! Me, not my superior and perfect brothers!" Liquid ranted to Blake when Snake finally revealed himself.
"Liquid!!!!!!" Snake yelled to Liquid as he, his men and the White Fang members all looked at the legendary soldier.
"Snake!!!!!! Glad you could join us brother!" Liquid said, with a lot of excitement in his voice when Izuku and Raiden dropped down, in front of Blake to protect her.
"You brought your friends, Snake." Liquid said as Snake aimed his gun at his twin.
"Stand down Liquid!"
"Hahahahahah, you and your friends are outnumbered Snake!!" Liquid taunted Snake, only for him to smirk.
"I like those odds." Snake said before throwing a smoke grenade, blinding the whole room as Izuku and Raiden made it to Snake with Blake in tow as they looked behind them, seeing an exit as Raiden looked at Izuku.
"Get her out of here!" Raiden said to Izuku as he opened the exit and pushed Izuku and Blake inside before closing it again.
"Dad, what about you two?!" Izuku asked through the door, obviously worried about Raiden and Snake's wellbeing.
"We'll be fine, now go! Otacon will be here soon to get us out of here, we'll be right behind you!" Raiden shouted back as Izuku knew he couldn't talk them into letting him help.
"Come on!" Izuku said to Blake as he grabbed her hand before running towards the surface while Blake was definitely confused to say the least.
"W-Wait, what's going on, and who are you?" Blake asked while she and Izuku were running.
"My name's Izuku Midoriya, and it's a bit of a long story to explain why we're here, but to sum it up, we were here for Liquid." Izuku explained to Blake who then quickly pieced things together.
"You're. . . you're the son of Raiden, the lightning bolt!" Blake said with shock and awe in her voice.
"That's what some people like to call my dad." Izuku said as he and Blake kept on running towards the surface.
Back with Raiden and Snake, the two were in the middle of a massive fight, while Snake was fighting Liquid as Raiden fought the White Fang members and Liquid's men.
Snake and Liquid were on a higher elevation while they kept throwing punch after punch at the other, quickly getting all bloody and injured as Snake threw Liquid into the ground and punched him in the face, disorienting Liquid for a moment before he tripped up Snake and kicked him in the face.
"Nice try, Snake!!!" Liquid mocked Snake before immediately getting kicked in the chest by Snake.
Raiden was holding his own against all his enemies as he was dodging and deflecting all the attacks from the weapons Liquid brought the White Fang, before Adam tried pulling a fast one of Raiden as the two traded sword strikes.
"You're fighting a losing battle, give up and we will spare your lives." Raiden said as he pushed Adam back before taking down a few fang members, before he and Adam clashed again.
"I'm not letting a cold blooded killer get in my way!" Adam snapped to Raiden, only for Raiden to smirk.
"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black." Raiden said as he pulled Adam back as one of Adam's men grabbed some lightning dust and threw it at Raiden, hoping it'd incapacitate him, only for Raiden to absorb the lightning, to all of their surprise.
Adam then smirked as he went to use his semblance on Raiden after absorbing enough energy into his sword as he managed to disarm Raiden, and went to attack him as he swung his sword toward Raiden.
Only for Raiden to stop Adam's attack by grabbing his sword with his hand, completely shocking Adam as Raiden kicked him back and grabbed his blade.
Snake continued throwing hands with Liquid as he slammed him downwards, before seeing Raiden getting surrounded as he pulled a very lethal gun, and fired shots at two of the open cases of dust, causing an explosion that took out a good amount of their enemies.
Liquid then tackled Snake and gave a motion to get the rest of the dust and weapons out of there as some of his men and Adam's got the dust and weapons away, as Snake kicked Liquid off him, causing him to fall to the ground when he got a message from Otacon.
'Five minutes.' Snake smirked as he jumped and landed onto Liquid to soften the fall as Raiden aslo got Otacon's message when Snake shot the lights out, as he and Raiden ran to the exit while blocking the path for good measure.
"Get them!" Adam ordered as Snake and Raiden made a run for it as Snake left behind a stun grenade for good measure, giving him and Raiden enough time and space to run to the surface.
"Had I known in advance how messy this would get, I would have asked Summer, Tai and Qrow for backup!" Raiden said as he and Snake kept on booking it.
On the surface, Izuku and Blake were fighting off several White Fang members while waiting for Otacon to arrive, and for Snake and Raiden to catch up with them as Izuku and Blake were working pretty well together.
Blake used her semblance to trip up a few of their enemies as Izuku blasted them with a bolt of lightning, which impressed Blake.
"Hey, people don't call my dad Mr Lightning Bolt for no reason." Izuku quipped to Blake as they got to higher ground when they heard a helicopter nearby as Izuku smiled.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Izuku." Otacon said as Izuku just chuckled and shook his head as he looked at Blake and held out his hand, which Blake took since she owes Izuku for helping keep her alive, as he picked her up and jumped onto the helicopter.
Izuku and Blake strapped themselves in as Snake and Raiden made it to the surface and quickly boarded the helicopter.
"Till next time fellas." Raiden said as he closed the helicopter door before taking off as Adam and Liquid made it to the surface, and Adam was angry they got away while Liquid just smirked.
'Looks like the game is back on, brother.' Liquid said in his mind as Adam looked at him.
"What do we now, Liquid? If Blake goes back to the rest of the White Fang with the knowledge of our alliance, that will completely blow our plan apart!" Adam said, getting slightly panicked with the situation as Liquid put his hand on his shoulder.
"I think you know what you did to do." Liquid said as Adam immediately knew what he was getting at as he shook his head.
"No, I can't kill one of my own kind, Liquid! That'll make me no better than the rest of humanity."
"Well, then you'll have to come up with something that will keep her away. You should be able to do that easily, you're a pretty charismatic person. Now, let's relocate our supplies elsewhere, I have no doubt Snake will contact the authorities." Liquid said as he went back inside to get started on the cleanup as Adam looked at the retreating helicopter, all kinds of feelings flowing through his mind before walking back inside.
While in the helicopter, Blake was trying her best not to freak out over being in the presence of two legendary figures, as she saw Izuku's mask retract, letting his hair fall down and letting her get a good look at Izuku's face.
Blake blushed slightly seeing Izuku's face and his long green hair, also noticing his silver eyes before Snake snapped her out of it.
"What were you doing there anyway?" Snake asked as the young faunus girl immediately caught her attention as she sat up straight, getting a chuckle from Snake.
"Well, I noticed some of the White Fang with weapons that we couldn't reasonably get our hands on, and I didn't get an answer from any I asked, even Adam which made me think something was up, but I had no idea it would be like this." Blake said while slightly tearing up.
"Part of me knew we'd be crossing lots of lines going down a violent lath, but declaring war on Atlas? None of us signed up for that. Maybe I should have left with my parents when I had the chance." Blake said while her tears started to get more noticeable when Otacon then spoke up.
"Regretting what you've done isn't going to fix things, you know. I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, and most of them I just wallowed in self misery, until I eventually stopped letting the past define my life and actually got to work on fixing my mistakes." Otacon said to Blake, getting a little smile from Snake.
"Look, you all did what you thought was the best course of your kind, but if any of you took a moment to think about the long term consequences, you would have realized this would make you no better then the people who actively hate all faunus." Raiden said, and Blake knew that Raiden was 100% right in his words.
"But it's not too late to make things right, we can help you." Izuku said, with lots of hope and optimism in his voice as Blake wiped her tears away, and smiled at him.
After a while of flying, they landed in Patch as they exited the helicopter and entered Raiden's home as Snake flopped onto the couch.
"Let's hope your mother doesn't lose her mind if she comes home early, God knows she does that enough whenever Yang and Ruby are over." Raiden said to Izuku as they removed their cybernetic suits.
(Note, I'm having Izuku and Raiden not be cyborgs in this)
"Who's Yang and Ruby?" Blake asked as Izuku and Raiden sat down while Otacon got himself and the others drinks.
"Childhood friends of mine." Izuku said when he heard familiar voices behind him and chuckled.
"Speak of the devil." Izuku said as he and Blake saw Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long, his childhood friends.
"Hey Izuku." Yang and Ruby said with lots of joy as the two girls hugged him, while Yang took notice of Blake.
"Who's that?"
"Oh, that's Blake Belladonna. Ran into her on our mission. Blake, these are Yang and Ruby." Izuku said as Blake shook Yang and Ruby's hands when Snake immediately shot up.
"Oh damn, I forgot me and Qrow were supposed to go to a bar tonight!!!" Snake said in a panic as he ran upstairs to get changed, making Izuku, Otacon and Raiden laugh.
"That happen often?" Blake said, while giggling a bit.
"Too often." Otacon said in between his laughter.
Timeskip to a while later*
Otacon was logging all the information Snake, Raiden and Izuku learned while on their mission while understandably, being concerned about the implications of Liquid's plan.
Otacon knew from constantly dealing with Liquid over the years that there's far more to it then just attacking Atlas, which is up to speculation as to what else he's planning at the moment.
And then there's the matter of how the White Fang fits into Liquid's plan, is he going to make them part of his army, have them be an independent third-party or what?
Lots of things were flowing through Otacon's mind as Raiden came into the room and sat beside him.
"So, what do you think Liquid's angle is?"
"Hard to say Raiden, but we all know it's not as clear as Liquid destroying Atlas, course all other variables are yet to be seen. Plus, doesn't help that Liquid definitely has corrupt officials, soldiers and members of the Schnee Dust Company, if not the whole company on his payroll." Otacon said as Raiden nodded his head in agreement.
"Makes sense, otherwise how else would Liquid have weapons and dust smuggled out of Atlas without no one getting suspicious." Raiden said, knowing the fact it's not much of a secret that Atlas has plenty of issues.
"Exactly, plus doesn't help the White Fang might end up being a real problem down the line." Otacon said as Raiden turned around in his chair.
"I talked with Blake for a bit, and she told me that the White Fang members she saw being armed were part of the Vale branch, which Adam's in charge of. So as of now, war with the whole White Fang doesn't seem to be on the table, but I could be wrong." Raiden explained as Otacon felt a temporary moment of relief and readjusted his glasses, when his scroll vibrated as he picked it up.
"That your girlfriend or something?" Raiden quipped, clearly joking when he noticed Otacon faintly blush, which absolutely shocked him.
"No way, I was just joking. Who's the lucky lady?" Raiden asked, very happy for Otacon as he patted his friend on the back.
"W-Well, it's Naomi. . ." Otacon said before Raiden shot up as his jaw dropped.
"Dr Hunter?! How'd you managed to pull that off?!" Raiden asked, in absolute shock and disbelief at this discovery.
"Well, we were working on a project together last month, and one just thing led to another." Otacon admitted, rather sheepishly as Raiden lightly slapped him on the back.
"No need to be embarrassed man, good for you." Raiden said, congratulating his friend as the two men smiled and shared a laugh.
Meanwhile, Izuku was in the middle of intense training as he was holding a sword in his right hand, and a gun in his left as he then back flipped over his virtual opponents, and quickly went on the offensive.
Izuku swung his blade with lots of concentration, aggression and precision as his blade cut through his enemies with ease, while he also blocked and dodged seamlessly.
Izuku then pushed them back before throwing his sword into the air as he began shooting his opponents right in the head, while constantly rolling out of the way of the enemy strikes, landing solid shots before bouncing off one of them and grabbing his blade with his foot in mid air.
Izuku then dove his blade down into an opponent before spinning around in a circle, letting his blade cut through multiple enemies at once.
Izuku readjusted his position as he reloaded his gun and the moment he finished reloading, he bashed his fist through the chest of one of his virtual opponents, then channeling electricity into his blade before slamming it into the ground, causing a massive shockwave that took down the rest of his enemies.
Izuku took a moment to catch his breath as the simulation wrapped up, while he sheathed his sword and put away his gun before taking off his shirt, which really caught Yang and Blake's eyes due to them watching Izuku train the whole time.
"W-W-Wow. . . . ." Blake said with a massive blush on her face, looking at Izuku's shirtless form.
"I know, Izuku has a body that could put gods to shame." Yang said while keeping her eyes on Izuku, drooling a little bit as Blake took notice of several scars Izuku has. And while Blake won't admit it out loud, the scars kind of did it for her.
"All those scars he has. . ." Blake said, focusing on some of Izuku's scars, wondering how and why he got them, which Yang took notice of.
"Izuku's been a fighter since he, Ruby and I were little kids. Kind of expected when your father's one of the greatest warriors in the planet's history." Yang explained to Blake, as Izuku stretched his arms and legs and headed off to change.
"He was training for over an hour, how was he able to do that?" Blake asked, being understandably surprised how long Izuku was able to train for.
"Eh, that's nothing. The longest Izuku's trained so far is 3 and a half hours. As for why Izuku trains so often and hard, I don't know honestly. Guess when you're exposed to battle for long enough, it's hard for your mind to be anywhere else." Yang said to Blake, while Izuku finished getting changed as he saw his reflection in a nearby mirror but with red eyes, before quickly shaking his head.
Izuku's reflection was back to normal as he left the change room and walked towards Blake and Yang.
"I see you two enjoyed the show." Izuku said which surprised Yang and Blake, making the two girls blush while he chucked.
"Man Yang, it's getting easier and easier to make you flustered. You're losing your edge, golden dragon." Izuku said while chuckling, making Yang more flustered when Blake asked something that surprised them both.
"So, is it true that Snake was trained by Big Boss?" Blake asked which surprised Izuku, since he was under the impression it was common knowledge that Snake was trained by Big Boss.
"Well, I'm not privy to all the details, but yes. Snake did train under Big Boss during his time in Foxhound. I'm surprised you didn't know, I thought that was extremely common knowledge." Izuku said as he, Blake and Yang left the training area and went to the living room, as the girls sat down with Izuku got something to drink.
"Well, when stories get passed around enough times, it gets hard to tell which parts actually happened and which parts didn't. Once, I heard that Big Boss had a body double." Blake said as Izuku came with water for all three of them as he sat down.
"Given all the things Big Boss did throughout his later years in life, I wouldn't be surprised if that were actually true." Izuku said as he took a sip of his drink while Blake noticed a photo on the table as she got a closer look at it.
She saw Raiden, Snake and Otacon standing alongside a woman who Blake noted looks very identical to Ruby, a man with spiky black hair and a man with blonde hair, with all of them smiling.
(Before anyone asks, Raiden took Raven's place on Team STRQ)
Meanwhile
Snake was at a bar with Qrow, the uncle of Ruby and Yang as the two men were enjoying their drinks, and just having a good old time together, not as a soldier or huntsman, but as men.
"Ahhhh, that's the good stuff. Can't remember the last time we had the chance to just unwind and relax." Qrow said, slightly slurring his words as he took another sip of his beer.
"During Tai and Summer's anniversary last year." Snake said to Qrow, with a chuckle and a smug grin on his face.
"Smart ass." Qrow said while laughing as he and Snake finished their drinks, leading to him asking for two more before turning to face Snake.
"So Snake, what's our plan about your crazy brother?" Qrow asked Snake, as the legendary mercenary took a moment to think.
"Stop Liquid before his plans can get any further, what else? And plus, it's not like Liquid's going to be able to pull off his full plan anytime soon since he can't get his hands on a new Metal Gear."
"Oh yeah. It's been like, 10 years since the last of things were created. Think we should give Ironwood the heads up?"
"Better safe than sorry, no doubt Liquid's going to have multiple backup plans." Snake said as he and Qrow were given their beer, as the two men thanked the person who brought them.
"Thought the one thing about Liquid's plan that sticks out like a sore thumb is how the White Fang fits into it." Snake wondered as he and Qrow opened their beers and took drinks, while trying to guess what the White Fang has to gain from working with Liquid.
Meanwhile
Adam was in the middle of telling the rest of the White Fang that Blake had betrayed them, by going to Snake and Raiden with the mission of killing him.
Adam was hoping to God that they would fall for his lie, which most of the White Fang seemingly did, mostly due to Adam's charisma and importance in the group.
Though there was understandable doubt given Blake's dedication to their cause, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Of course now, Adam had to hope that both Blake's parents and the high leader Sienna Khan, absolutely believed his lie as he went to an extremely private area, before contacting Liquid.
"Well? How did it go?"
"They all fell for it. As far as they're all concerned, Blake is a traitor." Adam said, being pleased with himself.
"You do know our plans are at risk as long as that girl still lives, right?" Liquid asked, waiting to get a anwser from Adam.
"We won't have to worry about Blake, she won't bother coming back. Every time there was any problems in her life, she ends up running away. She always runs away, just like her parents." Adam said, hoping his anwser would satisfy Liquid.
"If you say so, Adam. But if you ever come across her again, you best be ready to pull the trigger. I'll let you know when our plan is ready to proceed, Liquid out."
Back in Vale
Izuku, Blake and Yang were all in the middle of playing a video game while Ruby was reading and eating some cookies, and Izuku was cleaning Blake and Yang's clocks.
"Wah?! You were not this good last time we played this, Izuku!!!" Yang said with a lot of shock and frustration in her voice.
"Practice makes perfect, my dear. Plus, I might have had a lot of matches with Jaune." Izuku said with a little smirk on his face as he beat the two girls in the game, and did a little dance to celebrate.
"No fair Izuku, if I were in full form, I'd have you on your knees!" Yang said, as Izuku smirked and got close to her face.
"Well, that can definitely still be arranged." Izuku said with a smooth tone in his voice which made Yang, Blake and Ruby all blush hearing that, before Izuku chuckled a bit.
"No wonder you liked teasing me when we were little, Yang. It's fun." Izuku said as Yang playfully punched Izuku's shoulder before Blake stood up.
"Mind if I use your shower?"
"Oh, sure. First room you see when you get to the second floor." Izuku said as Blake smiled before heading upstairs, while Izuku and Yang couldn't help but get a look at Blake's butt.
'Holy moly, that's an ass if I've ever seen one.' Izuku said to himself while Blake couldn't even come up with words as they were both blushing.
After a little bit, Blake came back downstairs after finishing her shower as she sat down with Izuku and Yang while smiling at them, being grateful for their kindness.
"You didn't have to do this for me." Blake said as Izuku and Yang just chuckled.
"Oh, nonsense Blake." Izuku said, which made Blake smile more and also made her blush slightly.
"Hey, you know what we should do? We should head out and have some fun." Yang said as Izuku, Blake and Ruby looked at her.
"You sure that's a good idea Yang, it is getting a bit dark out." Ruby said, not wanting to worry their parents.
"Mom and Dad know we're responsible on our own Rubes. Besides, we have our lightning rod to keep us safe." Yang said as she grabbed Izuku's arm and traced a circle on his chest, making him blush.
(I'm having Ruby and Yang being the same age)
"Well, I'm not against it, but what if we run into anyone who hates faunus?" Blake said, being understandably worried about that possibility.
"Oh yeah, that's a fair worry. Granted, faunus discrimination is pretty low in Vale, but doesn't mean it doesn't exist here, and us three have the dishonor of knowing someone who absolutely hates the faunus." Izuku said before he went to grab something, quickly returning as he placed something on Blake's head.
Blake looked at what Izuku placed on her head as she saw a black bow on her head, hiding her cat ears.
"There we go, now no one will be none the wiser." Izuku said with a smile as Blake was touched by Izuku's idea, as Raiden and Otacon came downstairs.
"Hey Dad, we're going to head out for a bit." Izuku said as he and the girls got up and started getting ready.
"Alright, just be careful you four." Raiden said as Izuku gave his father a nod before he, Yang, Ruby and Blake headed to the door and opened it, but were surprised to see someone at the door.
"Naomi, what are you doing here?" Otacon asked as Izuku, Yang and Ruby all did triple takes as Naomi let herself in.
"I thought I'd surprise you, Hal." Naomi said as Otacon blush while Izuku, Yang and Ruby all comically fell backwards, while Blake was confused.
"Have fun tonight Uncle Hal." Izuku said Blake helped him, Yang and Ruby up as they immediately left the house.
"Who was that girl with the bow?" Naomi asked, not knowing who Blake is.
"Well, it's a long story." Otacon said as Raiden turned around and headed upstairs.
"I'll leave you two alone, better not be creating any nieces and nephews." Raiden said while laughing as he headed upstairs, leaving Otacon blushing.
"I see you told Raiden about us."
"Well, yeah. I haven't told Snake, Tai, Summer and Qrow yet though, but knowing Snake, he probably knows already." Otacon explained, sheepishly as he and Naomi sat down.
Izuku, Yang, Ruby and Blake made it to the more populated area of Patch while laughing and having a good time together.
"Well, I didn't see that coming." Ruby said, still being surprised to learn about Otacon and Naomi.
"Same with me, Rubes. Honestly, I thought that Snake and Hal were gay for each other." Yang said, also still in shock.
"Well, good for Uncle Hal." Izuku said, being very happy for his uncle as Blake unknowingly grabbed Izuku's hand, which Yang saw and got jealous as she grabbed Izuku's other hand, while Ruby grabbed his arm.
Izuku was blushing like crazy over the girls being this close to him, but he was fine with it as he let them keep on doing it.
'I get the feeling this will end up being a recurring thing with them.'
