Soldiers were surrounding me, aiming their guns. I was outnumbered, outgun and got no advantages whatsoever. And I got the doctor by my side too.
In short, I'm fucked.
One of the soldiers was yelling at me in Arabic. Unfortunately I couldn't understand.
"Stay close," I ordered Olwood.
The militia yelling at me grew impatient and yelled louder. Doesn't look like I'll be getting out of this any time soon. I lowered my weapon and raised my hands up afterwards. As the soldiers started walking toward me….
BANG
A gunshot was heard and the soldier fell in front of me. Then, one by one, the soldiers were dying one by one. Confused at the situation, I quickly tried to grab my gun on the ground. But a gunshot was heard and a bullet shot my gun away.
"Damn it!" I yelled.
"Not fast enough, soldier."
A voice was heard, I turned around and saw someone walking out of the shadow, he was wearing some GRU unit uniform.
"I appreciate all the hard work you and your men did to rescue our scientist," He said. "Now, give him to us and I promise, you and your men will be spared."
I scoffed, "Generous offer, but I got orders."
I noticed that he wasn't holding a rifle or any weapon. Also, he seems to be carrying a holster for a revolver-type weapon.
"I'm noticing you're not holding a weapon. So, how did you take out these men?" I asked.
The soldier smirked and upholstered his gun, it was a Single Action Colt Revolver.
"With this," He replied. "America's greatest weapon ever designed in history."
He aimed his gun at me.
"Now please, hand over the doctor please."
I scoffed, "You can't scare me. The Single Action Revolver has six chambers and you killed off five soldiers and shot my gun. That means you've already fired all six of your shots."
As I finished saying that, he took out a second revolver.
"I figured you'd say that. That's why I have two of them."
"Shit…" I said.
"Now, I won't say it again. Hand over the doctor, now!"
Olwood is still behind me.
"Only one problem," I said.
"What's that?"
"You missed one."
As soon as I said it, one of the fallen soldiers was still breathing, aimed his weapon at the GRU soldier and tried to shoot. But the Russian reacted quickly and shot at the soldier. It gave me time to take out my pistol and fire my pistol at him. However, he dodged and took cover. I guided Olwood out of the opening and told him to hide.
"You got lucky!" The GRU soldier.
"I have to admit, that was some quick reflex you got. Who are you?"
I can hear the sound of him twirling around his revolvers.
"Can't give you my name. But, you can call me Ocelot."
I scoffed, "Really? You named yourself after a terrorist?"
BANG
He fired and the bullet ricocheted and nearly hit me.
"Tread lightly, american. Revolver Ocelot was my grandfather. I inherited his genes and legacy."
"His Legacy?"
"That's right, these revolvers once belonged to Revolver Ocelot. And now, they're mine."
Ocelot comes out of the opening and fires his gun. I came out and aimed my pistol at him. But not at him directly, but rather at his gun. Since only one of them was loaded, I fired at the one he was aiming at.
"You bastard!" He yelled. But before he could react, I ran toward and knocked him down with CQC. Before he could get up, I took out my knife and held it to his throat.
"You got skills, I'll give you that. But I can tell that you just recently learned this technique and didn't have a lot of practice. You probably saw them in movies and just image training."
Ocelot grunted. I continued.
"You got guts, but that kind of play will get you killed. Next time, don't try to use a technique you learned in movies. It'll get you killed."
Ocelot broke free from grip and took out his knife.
"How dare you insult my grandfather's legacy! He was the greatest gunslinger!"
He slashed towards me but I dodged and grabbed his arm and judo flipped him.
"Like I said," I replied. "You have skills, but you still need practice to use those revolvers. But… that was fancy shooting. You're pretty good."
The judo flip nearly knocked him out, but before he could, he grabbed my arm and said, "Pretty… good…"
And then he was down.
"Olwood?" I yelled out.
"Here," Olwood jumped out of a barrel. "Is it over?"
"He's down but not dead. He's… still young, probably around my age."
"You… hate killing?"
I scoffed, "Pathetic, isn't it? A soldier who hates killing."
"No," Olwood replied. "I think it's noble."
"We'll talk later, we got to move now."
Olwood and I kept running and dodging every patrol and russian soldiers passing by, but we could still hear the gunshots and battles raging around us. Bullets and rockets were flying everywhere, but we were surviving. This was nothing compared to Korea. But Olwood was not a soldier, so I have to protect him.
Gekkos were around too and they were getting shot down quickly by the russians.
"Just a bit more, Olwood. Hurry!" I yelled.
I escorted him toward the garage where Sarge and the others are.
I knocked at the door.
"Sarge! It's me! I got Olwood!"
Several soldiers were heading toward our direction but Bravo Team already popped out and shot out the enemy, covering me and Olwood.
Panting, I thanked my team. I also noticed that Trent and Jack were here too.
"Trent? Jack?"
"You're late!" Jack replied. "What happened?"
"Russians. We got ambushed but a Russian GRU operative saved us. I had to take him down though."
"We'll talk later! We have to move! Now!" Sarge yelled. We all got on the vehicles and drove off. The soldiers were still fighting amongst themselves so we weren't followed, luckily.
We managed to gain some distance from the village and are safe, for now.
"We're safe, for now," I said.
"I owe you guys, for everything," Olwood said. "I just wish I didn't have to return to Russia."
"What do you mean?" Jack replied. "Why do you have to go back to Russia?"
"Because of the Omega Serum."
"Omega Serum?" I asked.
"Yes… Omega Serum is an enhancer that can create supersoldiers. An average human being will obtain 10 times more strength and would also gain fast reflex and speed. There were even tests that suggest that those with the Omega Serum will gain more intelligence. However, it came with a heavy cost."
"Cost?"
"Yes, the Omega Serum puts a heavy strain on the mental mind. Eventually, it turns the user more primal and makes him go berserk."
"How is that possible?" Trent asked.
"I… can't talk more about it."
"Why?" I asked.
"If the Russians find out that you all know… they won't hesitate to keep this silent."
"Are the Russians planning to use the serum against America?"
Before Olwood could reply, Michael called out to us in the driver seat.
"Guys! Look ahead! We have a problem!"
I looked ahead at the truck and saw what happened. Smoke and debris were everywhere by the extraction point. The debris were parts of a helicopter.
Our helicopter.
"DAMN IT!" I yelled.
Michael stopped the truck so that we could search around and find any survivors or equipment. Unfortunately, the pilot didn't survive and any extra ammo or gear have been burned to ashes.
"Damn!" Sarge yelled. "Valdez, check our radio, see if you can call in for another extraction."
"Copy that, Sarge."
Michael hopped on to our personal radio to contact home base. What we got instead, haunts me to this day.
"BZZT This is…. Columbia. We are under attack by an unknown faction. We need reinforcement! I repeat! We need reinforcement! We can't- BZZT -THEY BROKE THROUGH! HOLD THE- BZZT"
"No…" Michael said.
"What the hell is happening?!" Jack said.
"It's the Russian Defectors," Olwood replied. "They planned the attack."
"Why?!" Sarge yelled.
"Because… They don't want anyone to know about the Omega Serum and my Energy Converter. And so, they'll kill everyone that I encounter. And that means, your team is next…"
Author's Note:
Hoped you enjoy the chapter. The original will be in Wattpad but I decided to rewrite the whole story. Well, more of just cleaning it up and making the chapters look good. Like I said, this was my first Fanfiction I made back in High School. I got the motivation to do a rewrite after seeing the PlayStation Showcase last month and I WAS NOT EXPECTING A MGS REMAKE! The nostalgia hit me and I decided to get back into this fan series. In fact, I might connect it to my other series (Might, still deciding). For now, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next chapter will arrive soon this month. Until Next Update.
