Hi everyone, I'm posting the very first fanfiction I ever written so forgive the misspellings and errors. At the time, I was making this in High School and it was original intent to be a Percy Jackson X Metal Gear Solid series but that idea got scrapped due to Trials of Apollo. Thus explains why some of the characters have similar last names. However, The Multiverse Theory in MCU gave me the inspiration so I may do some rework on this series as well as continue where I left off in the sequel to this story. I am doing some rework on the prologue (Chapter 1-5) and when it's finish, I'll publish it, but after that, it's just amateur work that I made in the past with some editing I will be currently work on. I hope you enjoy it.

DISCLAIMER: THE METAL GEAR SERIES BELONG TO KONAMI AND CREATED BY HIDEO KOJIMA, AND THE PERCY JACKSON SERIES BELONG TO RICK RIORDAN AND DISNEY HYPERION. PLEASE SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE.

Tell me... why do you think we were created? We humans are the fundamental elements of Chaos and destruction. Yet, we're still here... why? We created plagues, weapons of mass destruction and war. Most of our current world problems are the results from our two great wars and the Cold War. Don't believe me? Let me give you a quick history lesson.

As you know, World War I started because a prince got assassinated, and at that point it was a power struggle; alliances were formed before then, and when they heard the news, war erupted. Allied Powers and Central Powers were at each other's throats until America intervened. Which led to the rise of Axis Power, which brought terror to the world. German Nazi's were expanding across Europe and Russia while Japan was dominating the Pacific and China. America did not join until December 7th, 1941; the Attack on Pearl Harbor. Germany lost the war thanks to the support of the Americans and the brutal retaliation from Russia. As for Japan, they continued the fight and did not surrender until 1945, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The result of that day was just one of the reasons the world became as it is now.

After the end of WWII in 1945, the world was stealing every bit of data and information the Nazi's were conducting during the war. Because of that, the great arms race began. The Cold War... America, China and Russia were making nuclear weapons to become a superpower in the world. Because of that, conspiracies and secret wars were born.

In 1950, Korea was at war between the North and The South. The North converted to Communism and the South refused. A Civil war began, a war that America had no reason to intervene; and yet, they did. Because America joined in, so too did the Chinese, bringing more deaths to both sides. Can you believe that? A war where our fathers and sons have no reason to join, are dying in a meaningless war. We didn't even win the goddamn war! To this day, we are still at a ceasefire, if anyone from either side makes a move, the war continues.

Then there's the issues regarding Cuba in 1961-1962. The failed invasion of Bay of Pigs; where Cuban exiles charged toward Cuba to oppose Castro dictatorship. America supported the Exiles while Soviet Russia supported the Cubans. The operation failed and then came the Cuban Missile Crisis; Soviet Russia was bringing ballistic weapons into Cuba and America stopped them. Wanna know the scary part? The world would've been at a nuclear war if someone decided to push the button. Luckily, the two superpowers settled in an agreement and prevented an all-out war; but it doesn't end there.

In 1965, American troops were deployed to Vietnam to stop any more encouragement toward Communism. Once again, America has no reason to intervene, yet we did. And because of that, we lost many good soldiers to another meaningless war. And don't get me started on what we did to the Viet Congs and Vietnamese. All the bodies we burned; all the chemicals we poured on their land; all the destruction we left behind. Still don't believe me? Look up Agent Orange... And once again, America lost another war that we have no reason to join. To this day, there's still minefields, chemicals and weapons abandoned in Vietnam.

The Cold War continued until 1991 when Soviet Russia began crumbling down, but China is still a superpower along with America. Yet, our mistakes do not end there. Before the end of the Cold War, the Soviets and the American were in a secret war in Central America. The KGB's and the CIA's were funding troops in their civil wars to gain control on the land. Meanwhile, Soviet troops was deployed in the Middle East and the CIA thought it was a good idea to train some of the locals to fight off the russian troops. The Results? In 2001 after the Cold War, the very same troops they trained launched a terrorist attack on America; crashed planes on both the Pentagon and the World Trade Center; so many innocent lives were lost that day. To this day, we're still cleaning up the messes the Cold War created.

Now you understand? To this day, North Korea hates America and is willing to go to war against South Korea at any moment. Most of Middle Eastern despise American troops because of the U.S. intentions to fight Terrorism. Why? All because of the mistakes that were made between WWI toward the present. Hell, even the Mafias and the Cartels were in on the operations in the Cold War.

My point is... we're monsters... more monstrous than the ones you can find in myths and folklore. Time and time again, we somehow come up with more effective ways to kill each other. Why? For money... for power... for land... or to just make a statement.

The Cold War may have ended a long time ago, but we are still cleaning up the mess left behind, such as the new War Economy that has been brewing in the third world.

That last mess was made from The Patriots, a secret organization that worked in the shadows. Hoping to create a unified world envisioned by the Boss, a legendary soldier who fought in WWII. The Patriots were also in a secret war, against the man who was mentored by The Boss... the very man who also killed her.

Big Boss...

A soldier who prevented WWIII from coming with the help of his mercenary army, Outer Heaven.

The two fought, only to end up with both organizations crumbling down, bringing fear to the world.

The missions they did... the bodies left behind... it was all for her, The Boss.

She fought for her country; her soldiers; her family, only to see the world she fought for divided for power. Despite that, she followed her orders to the end.

How do I know this?

My name is Cooper Jackson. I'm also a soldier, fighting to fix the messes our predecessors left behind.

After the end of the Patriots, North Korea made a move and the war continued. It was called the Second Korean War. I fought in that war, I saw the devastating consequences that were left behind on the battlefield.

I shouldn't even be surprised, I was born in a military family. My parents were also soldiers; my dad was in the Army, 1st Division while my mom was in the Navy, later working with the CIA. Yet, they never told me much about their past.

I never knew much of my parents past, but we were happy. Until after the Guns of the Patriots incident, when my Dad was KIA in combat in the Middle East. Then, in 2016, Korea went to war again. My mom joined in the fight when I was in high school, never got to see her again since. She was missing in action during the Second Korean War.

Then I joined.

I got myself recruited to the Army, 1st Division; same as my dad. Thanks to me and my squad, we managed to end the war; only to end it in another fucking ceasefire in 2020.

To this day, I still don't know what happened to my parents. I don't even know if they're alive or not.

Until 2024... When my squadron and I were departed to the Middle East on an important mission.

Who knew that this mission would seal our fate toward destiny...
