Metal Gear Solid The First Fox Ch 3

-Date August 30th 1964 Operation snake eater-

The date was 30th of august, the day operation Snake Eater had commence.

This was the go ahead mission for FOX to make up for the failed Virtuous mission some time ago with the goal to clear not only it's name but the name of the United States Of America after the defection and use of a Nuke on soviet soil by the treasonous forces of the GRU Colonel and his Cobra Defectors.

The KGB had given the ok for the american's to drop off their operative within their terroritory to complete his mission within a time limit before all hell breaks loose.

The entire unit was under pressure to complete this mission or face punishment of high treason for The Boss's defection and the use of an nuclear weapon with the fate of the world on the brink of another war.

Unlike last time the team will not be within close proximity to the mission area like on the sub or the aircraft that was used in the last mission, instead they were back home using a satellite given to them by the KGB to communicate with their man deep within the jungle's of Tselinoyarsk.

Snake had been ordered to make contact with one of the two NSA Defector's codenamed ADAM and EVA, and to meet up with their newest recruit and agent Codenamed Fox, his Primary mission was to clear the united state's name by eliminating the GRU Colonel and the traitor known as the Boss, and recover the stolen nuclear warhead's called the Davy Crocket, all other secondary mission was the rescue and extraction both Sokolov and Fox from deep behind the enemy line.

-11.30 PM within Tselinoyarsk.-

Sitting high above the ground on a tree branch was Fox who laid against the tree frame and on the large limb that held him high above the air where a patrol of Gru men were slowly passing under him.

He was once again on the run after narrowly escaping from the Fear a 4th maybe 5th time since he's been here and was now eluding the soldiers sent to comb the entire area he's been spotted in.

The natural darkness plus his attire granted him an invisablity he needed to remain undiscovered.

The youngest and new member of FOX had been biding his time, and surviving as he had promised as he awaited for Snake to arrive.

During his time here In preparation he got to learn the layout of the surrounding land to help snake navigate to his target, also as he survive here he somehow managed to learn Russian, don't ask him how but since the beginning he somehow understood what the soldiers were saying and it came to his ear's a basic English when he knew they were speaking another language.

They also been coming at him in a whole new approach, they were more aggressive in their methods to capture him from setting up booby traps such as mines and man made traps like spited logs ready to swing and impale any who were unfortunate enough to spring their traps.

But back to the present.

He now sat relaxed in his position, watching as the men under him continued to pass by never noticing his presence, but then his eye's diverted from them to the sky as the thumn of a jet engine reached his ears and he turned his head up, only getting a glimps but a good one of a silver coloured aircraft that flew over head.

And he wasn't the only one who saw it as the men below him turned their heads up but only saw the blur that disappeared further into the forest.

A smile graced his lips as he knew what that was and who was on it "Right on time Boss." Fox muttered.

When one of the patrol men turned his head to look up at the tree, Fox had disappeared from his perch.

-with Snake-

The man to become legend had landed once more within the jungle of his previously failed mission.

The area had brought upon feelings of sorrow, regret, and anger as this was the place where his entire world fell apart, it didn't help that he once more encountered the woman who betrayed him and their country.

Now with a sore hand from her horse and a injuried belief that the woman he knew was now the enemy, snake pressed on with the mission, determined to complete it and his objectives of finding and eliminating Volgin and the Cobra unit.

Though he was now unarmed thanks to the boss disassembling the only gun he had so now here he was, hiding in the grass with only his survival knife in hand as he crouched as low as he could in the tall grass.

Unnoticed by the two GRU soldiers that stormed into the area where the D-21 drone had crash landed into and destroyed creating a pilliar of smoke for all to see.

Already he was facing difficulties so soon into the mission and he was to randevous with Fox just ahead.

As he watched as they moved closer to the crash with more no doubt converging, he had to get out before the entire place was surrounded. Waiting for the momentum he moved closer to the edge of the field of grass and just when they're line of sight was off him he bolted, running into the clearing where they came from as fast as he could before more Gru soldiers arrived.

He turned right instead of going straight to avoid any soilders coming that way and he was right as he threw himself to the left against some tree's watching from his cover a few more ran past him towards the destroyed drone.

Slowly he backed away, walking backwards as he kept his eye on the opening incase some of them decided came in and inspect the area for him, as he backed away he stopped dead as the cold touch of barrel was pressed against the back of his skull, instinctively he raised his hands in a sign of surrender.

"Кто такие патриоты? (Who are the Patriots?)" spoke a voice very deep and rough that it was put on, but snake couldn't take the chance, as he planned out the sinario of how he was to escape this situation and take the gunmen out, his mind was also at work at translating the words the soldier spoke.

And when it did his eye's narrowed as he imagined who this guy might be before he answered with the second phrase "La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo." He answered before the barrel left the back of his head and he slowly turned around and saw with wide eye's who It was that stood before him.

"Nice to see you again boss." Fox now speaking in his normal tone as he stood before snake, smirking with his mask down.

Immediately Snake was filled with relief at seeing him not only Okay but also that he wasn't an enemy soldier but at the same time he was annoyed, down right pissed that the kid would play a joke like that on him in a time like this.

"Kid." He said as he lowered his hands as he was not in any immediate danger.

"It's Fox actually. Your partner in this mission." He introduced himself through his official codename though that annoyed Snake as the child before him shouldn't be in all of this.

"First off kid. your not my partner, you're a bystander in all of this and my burden to get out along with Sokolov." Snake told him though that did little to wipe the smile off his face.

"But still, I am the one who been here long enough to help you get where you want. So maybe you better be a little nicer to me." Fox countered, using his knowledge of the surroundings as his weapon just like the lethal one in his hands that Snake noticed.

Snake snatched the Ak from his hands without Fox protesting "Give me that! You shouldn't be having such a weapon." He berated the young man as he inspected the gun, checking the maganize to see it full of bullets.

"Relax, I haven't killed anyone with it… yet. Only use it when I need to." Fox reassured him as Snake double checked the chamber and re-inserted the magazine back in, Fox then knelt down to the ground and laid his backpack on the ground before him, fishing out a few more magazines and tossing them at snake who caught them "Here. Some ammo for that gun."

"you got anything besides that?" snake asked as he pocketed the extra ammo.

Kneeling down before Fox, he watched as the young kid ruffled through his pack of mystery's, pulling out items as he named them "Hmm, let's see? Instant noodles, batteries, more ammo, a lighter, some TNT along with their detonator." Instantly those last items were swiped his hand by snake but that didn't bother him as he continued on "banages and medicine along with some stitches, binoculers and a few cigars. The major told me you'd like em." Fox said as he handed the larger cancer sticks to him.

Snake couldn't help but be amazed by all that Jack… Fox has acquired over his time here "you've certainly been busy." He marvelled as fox re-asorted his bag full of items and sling it back over his shoulders.

"You could say that, though it has been hard lately trying to steal as they've pretty much tightened security every time I'm seen."

Snake couldn't help but sigh at the already tight security that is now on high alert for them "Great. So where do we go from here?" he asked his and dare he say it… guide.

"where it all began, the factory up ahead. There a patrol on the bridge but nothing we can't handle like last time." Fox told him where they were suppose to meet the NSA Defectors known as ADAM and EVE.

Fox pulled up his mask over his face, covering it once more before he pulled out the EZ Gun he had gotten from snake the first them they met with the knife held downwards as he gripped the gun in both hands "Ready when you are boss." Fox said before Snake took point as they continued on their way along the right side of the area and exited out to the next part of this jungle.

-Dolinovodno-

Once again they arrived at a familiar area, the bridge where they were separated once before.

And like before true to what Fox had said, there was a patrol of two men guarding the bridge on either side.

Fox and snake ducked down in the tall grass overlooking the whole ground below them, they could make out both men from their position however taking them out wasn't going to be as subtle as It was once before because there was no hornet nest hanging above on the tree for them to use.

That left them one option.

Snake glance over to his… teammate, who shared the same look as he was, a silent and unspoken word looked to have been said before Fox held up his gun and aimed down at the guard below them.

Carefully steadying his gun, he squeeze the trigger and shot the tranq dart at the unsuspecting soldier who didn't feel the dart sticking out from his leg.

They waited and watched as the guardsmen became more sluglish in his movements as he walked around, evidence that the tranquliser was working through his system quickly before he couldn't keep awake and fell down to the floor.

The two of them slid down the hill they were on, snake rushed to the fallen body and picked him up, he started to drag him to the side behind some tree's while fox pressed himself against one of the tree's beside the bridge as he watched for the man's comrade who was making his way over from the otherside.

They took up position's on opposite tree's and waited as the solider cross over to their part, the masked soldier seemed confused as to where his comrade was unaware that he wasn't alone but he wouldn't get the chance to know that before he too fell to the ground with a dart sticking out from the back of his head.

Seeing their opportunity snake and fox came out from their cover and started to cross over with fox taking one of their guns before they started to walk on the bridge with snake of course leading them over till they got to the other side with no problems and no other soldiers around.

-Rassvet-

The ruin factory was the still the same as they had left it, minus the corpses that were there.

The two stood on both side's of the walled entranced, peering from their cover to see for more guards that once patrolled this entire ruined area when Sokolov was being held here.

Only to see none as far as they saw but that didn't mean that there were any.

They proceeded with caution, slowly coming out and moving as they kept to the left of the facility still seeing no one as they got to the back and navigated around the tight corner to the opened area where a few of the KGB men ambushed them.

Again no one as of yet but they still kept their guards up as they advanced to the main building where they were suppose to meet their contacts, they moved to the large hole in the side of the building and climbed in.

It was dead quiet… too quiet for snake's liking as there should be more men after his encounter with the boss and the destroyed Drone behind them.

He led Fox into the room where they got sokolov but no one was there, and even more the room looked just the exact same before the fear ransacked it, the bed stood over the trap door, the book case and all over items were put back to their original position.

Everything seemed too quiet for anyone to be here especially who ever they were suppose to meet.

Seeing no one there they proceeded to leave, back tracking out of that room proceeding with upmost vigilance and guns at the ready.

Snake pressed himself against the wall of the empty door way with Fox training his gun on it, snake moved forward checking his corners as he moved out of the room with foxing following closely.

-Jack pov-

We found no sign of the mysterious agents that were suppose to meet us, the entire place was quiet and devoid of anyone else even though the room said otherwise because when I left it, it was trashed.

I didn't like it, and I could see snake not liking it as well.

I don't know if it was because of my time here or that it was so obvious that everything screamed trap.

As we slowly inched forward from the room a bright blinding light erupted in our faces, we turned towards the source but that itself was hard from the strong headlight shining in our faces that I was unable to make out the driver on the bike.

I tried to focus on the being, blinding aiming my new Ak at where the light was in hopes of shooting the driver should things go south.

"Sorry I'm late." Spoke the voice of woman over the roar of the engine.

"Cut the engine they'll hear us." Snake ordered as he shielded his eye's from the blinding full beam of the woman's motorcycle.

"Are you the agent they sent?" she asked, no turning off both the engine and the light that continued to obstruct their vision.

"Are you adam? I through you were suppose to be a man."

"ADAM couldn't make it." she said still mounted upon her bike that continued to roar out the ear deafen thumn of it's engine that could easily be heard within this jungle that's only other sounds was the local critters that sang their song's within the dead silence of the night.

"All right, say the password." Snake commanded and I noticed through the blinding light that she flinched when asked "Who are the Patriots?" Snake asked as he spoke the first part of the secret password but she didn't answer "Who are the Patriots?" he asked more forcefully as she continued to remain silent "Answer me!?" he demanded as he aimed his gun at her.

Then we were suddenly surrounded, men coming out at our blindspotes with their weapons trained on us "Shit!" I cursed out, too focused on her to really notice the GRU men encroaching on us.

We were completely surrounded, and couldn't fight our way out of this without holes put in us.

Just when I think we've lost "Get down!" I suddenly found myself pulled to the floor as that cry rang out and the air was filled with gunshots.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!" rang out the slow and loud bangs of gun, not rapid like a machine gun that the soldiers had but slow to be that of a pistol.

The fire and smoke continued as I was still held down, unable to see the action that was happening only staring up as the bright beam of light was replaced with flashes of gun fire that alit the area ever few seconds.

This went on till there was silence and I felt the arm that held me down lift giving me the chance to jump back to my feet and train my gun once more on the woman who remained standing when all other's now laid dead at our feet.

And our mysterious saviour was reloading her pistol "There… is your answer." She huffed out as she finished loading in the bullets and turned the engine of her motorcycle.

Snake put his hand on my gun's barrel and forced it down so I stopped aiming it at her before he moved away and started to walk towards her as she dismounted her bike.

She then took off her helm, freeing her long blonde hair from the confinement of her biker helmet and exposing her head.

I will admit she was beautiful and it didn't help with the sincery that made her even more enchanting something that had enraptured snake further more as she unzipped her suit exposing her near naked torso and the black leather bra she was wearing

"The name's Eva." She introduced herself all the while snake couldn't keep his eye's up.

-later normal pov-

The three of them were now back in sokolov's old room with Snake sitting on the bed, and Fox beside the door sitting a chair while EVA stood between.

The bodies that EVA killed where moved out of sight and mind incase anymore were to come and see the corpse's.

Snake was taking a puff of his cigar before he talked to their new ally "This wasn't part of the plan. What happened to ADAM?" he asked as he was suppose to meet two NSA agents, even though she didn't provide the pass phrase for the password but her assistance in saving them had earned snake's trust though Fox was still sceptical about her but he kept his silence.

"What's your code name?" she asked for snake's designated under cover name he was on while on this Op.

"It's… snake." He introduced him by his code name and not his real name to the female spy.

"Snake, huh?" she said as she moved up toward him "well, I'm EVA…" she introduced her self as she sat right next to him, Right, Right next to him "are you here to tempt me?" she asked in a flirty manner.

"Oh god! Get a room you two." Fox groaned out, it was then that EVA remember that they weren't alone and she turned to looked at the young kid sitting across from them with his arms folded and a narrowed suspcious stare directly aimed at her.

"So… whose the kid?" she asked as she wondered about the young man who was barely a teen yet with this man on a dangerous mission that decided the fate of this world.

"Name's not kid, it's Fox." Fox said with annoyance that he was looked down upon like a child, he was now a secret agent Damn it and deserved to be respected as such especially after surviving so long.

"Fox, huh. You look a little young to be an agent." She looked at him and saw that he was only a child, not yet a teen or a young adult even, but a boy who shouldn't be here as he wasn't equipped to handle a dangerous mission like this where one screw up will result in all out war.

"Would it help if I said I age gracefully and that I'm 25?" Fox quipped with a snarky smile on his face.

EVA couldn't help laugh at his blunt gibe "Funny kid you got here. Is he yours?" she turned to the man who was more suited to this then the boy.

Snake huffed as he was reminded of his burden to bear through out this whole operation "No. just a civilian that got caught up in all of this." And he wanted to keep it that way.

A look of realisation came upon EVA face she now knew who it was that was in the room with them "Ah, yes. Now I remember, you're the kid that's gotten under volgin's skin." As Volgin's new… plaything, she bared witness to the colonel's explosive tantrums as he ranted about a child in the jungle making a mockery of him and his soldiers.

Fox smirked and leaned back against his chair with his hands clasped behind his head "Glad to know I'm making a contribution to the mission." image's of the infamous colonel volgin face twisting with pure unbridled rage with his already ugly face distorting into a further funnier look of anger that the could imagen.

"What happened to ADAM?" snake brought the conversation back to the important matters of where their second contact was.

"Colonel Volgin is a very suspicious man. He decided ADAM wasn't the right person for this mission."

"And you were?" snake asked, looking at her.

"Yes?"

"Why?" This time it was fox's turn to ask, Eva turned to look back at the boy but when she did she nearly froze with fear at the way he looked at her, his gaze was sharp as he look like he was dissecting her.

'This is no normal kid.' She thought as she nearly shook with fear, FEAR of this child who was 10 year's younger then her. She recomposed her act "Because I can do things he can't." She left it that the mind can wonder as to what *Unique* set off skills she had that gave her an edge over them.

They then went to talk about her gun which was a chinese type 17 mauser, an old automatic pistol.

Fox half listened to what they were saying, he picked up bits such as the Gun that she used to take out the soliders that ambushed them, to the weapon and clothing she supplied to snake who was a little boy at Christmas from how he marvelled at the professionally modified 45 pistol he was given.

Eva profeied them with a location to a research falicity not far from their location where they might hope to find Sokolov.

Fox knew of the Lab she was speaking about, having crossed around it multiple times as he survived in this hostile environment, he had seen gaurds and security dogs patrolling within the fence outside it's concreate walls.

Finally the conversation ended as Snake moved to leave "Alright let's get going-" but was stopped by Eva.

"Wait a minute!" she said as she moved infront of him.

"What now?"

"You must be tired. Why don't you take a little rest?" she asked but snake pushed past her.

"I'll be fine." But then he stumbled, hunching over from the lack of energy he had from his short sleepless time of healing within a government medical facility after the failed mission and week's days spent trying to recover, and not to mention his encounter with the woman who betrayed him had left him more then just little winded. Tiredness at him but he didn't want to admit it, especially since as a soldier he was pushed and trained to bare through the worse condictions he would find himself in and push his body through the limit in order to survive.

So it was a bit embarrassing that he had to be helped up dispite his advanced training "You'll never make it in your condition." Eva said as she helped snaked to his feet and onto the bed.

"She's right boss." Fox agreed as he joined in "Out there, sleep is a rare luxury with entire GRU army combing the jungle's for you." he knew from experience that he got at least an hour at best before he was forced to relocate with the hounds on his heels. Not to mention the jungle itself was a death trap, poisonous animals, soldiers, lethal traps both hand made and military grad, The Corbra's and of course the Colonel, all a dangerous combination for someone who doesn't have both the strength and the knowhow of the place if they stand a chance of surviving.

"I'll stand watch until dawn." Eva said to which both men silently and reluctantly agreed to rest with what moment of reprieve that they have.

-an hour later-

EVA stood by the window beside the bed, looking out before she turned herself around and looked around the room, seeing the slumbering form of Snake laying on the bed before they went to other person in the room, she peered the darkness to see they're young tag along sleeping peaceful within his chair with his arms folded, his soft snoring was in sync and not one lapse in his breathing telling her that he was fast asleep.

Seeing her opportunity EVA slowly pushed herself off from he , making sure not to make any noise as she aimed to get out of the room. She crept towards the door, trying to be as light on her feet as possible on the creeky floor boards thankfully she made no sound as made it to the door where she would have to over come the next challenge.

With the slumbering boy next to the door she inched her hand to the knob and gripped it, taking a good hold of it she slowly inched it open tyring to lessen the noise of the old sqeaky hinges. Before she managed he have it opened and sneaked out, making sure to close it slowly behind her till it shut closed and she made her way out.

However unknown to her, a pair of eye's in the darkness opened and glanced toward the door she exited out of.

The hours of the wolf submerged the jungle in a deep darkest that the only source of light was the moon in it's waxing gibbous stage that hung in the near clear dark sky over all.

Nearly every creature in the isolated jungle was slumbering peacefully within their nests and holes, except for two.

EVE was outside the derelict and abandoned factory where sokolov was previously held and almost rescued from both the KGB and GRU operatives by snake till he was stopped by The Boss.

Now with both Snake and Fox soundly asleep Eve found a secluded spot away from the room as she knelt down to the communications device she laid on the ground.

Unaware of a pair of eye's watching her in a dangerous narrowed glare that peered through the binoculars as the body they belonged to laid upon one of the intact roof's of the ruined factory.

Fox watched as eve talked to whoever she was talking to, the young operative felt suspicious of her from the begin to now as she never once answered the password snake asked of her, she only proved her common allience by taking out the GRU soldiers that ambushed them.

Though she supplied them with weapons and needed items for their mission, she still rubbed him the wrong way.

And now he was certain that she wasn't who she said she was.

Turning on his radio, he tuned it to the frequency he was instructed to use for further information as to who this Eve person was and what her goal here was.

The dail tone rang out in his ears before he heard an answer "Zero here." The major called out to the caller.

"Majoy, this is Fox." Fox addressed the commanding officer on the other end "I have something here of grave importance."

Zero as he is refered to now or just the Major adopted an all too serious tone "We're all ears fox." he said as he and the entire team including the officials overlooking their operation were present to hear what he had to say.

"We've made contact with one of the Agent's, EVA. She saved our tails in an ambush but failed to provide a password to the code phrase." Fox told his tale, informing them of the woman that identified herself as their contact but didn't produce the second passphrase throughout the whole time they been together "On top of that she is currently in contact with someone via a large radio case that I am currently seeing from my position." he described as he continued to use the binoculars to see her talking.

Her lips moving but damned that he didn't have something he could use to hear what she was saying from this distance, what the Majoy said didn't come as a surprise to him "it's no one from this end I can assure you. Is she working with the Russians?"

Fox hummed as he continued to watch her coomunicate with whoever she was talking to "Hard to say, she has provided us with weapon's and clothing to sneak into a research facility nearby by." he explained.

"So she's well supplied." the major noted, telling them that she was obviously getting supplied outside the GRU.

"On top of that, she possess's a unique weapon. Can you get our new man on the channel." Fox asked for the newest member of their team.

"Hang on."

A new voice joined in shortly after the Major passed the conversation on "Hey Fox. Signet here, what'd ya need?" Fox was alerted to another member of their team, a weapon and technology specialist who knows ever gun and/ or technology out there.

"Nice to meet you Signet. What can you tell me about a Mauser Type 17 Chinese?" Fox asked about the weapon Eva Used.

Fox could hear the sharp whistle from Signet at the mention of the name "Damn… that a very old gun. The Broomhandle as it is refered to is the earliest successful weapon of the automatic pistols used in the late 19th century. Created in Germany by the very man it is named after *Paul Mauser*. The weapon doesn't reload as most guns do now-a-days, It uses the old fashion way of loading the bullets in through the chamber barrel at the front where they slide into the small broad chamber underneath at the front of the trigger guard. There have been many varrients to the gun but you say that it was a Chinese model?"

"That's right, she even held the gun side ways as she fired." Fox added to how she handled the weapon as she fired.

"That deffiently china style right there. It's called Bandit style where the gun is fried Horizontal instead of vertical, this Is to prevent the gun from jamming as that was it's known issue."

The major then cut back into the conversation "So wait. She failed to produce the pass phrase, she carry's a Chinese model gun and use's it the same way?" he went over all of the facts about this woman that had not only Fox but everyone listening to share in the universal suspicion towards Eva.

Fox gave a sharp glare through his binoculars onto the woman still taking and unaware of being watched "You think she's working with the Chinese?" Fox didn't know what kind of relationship America had with china or why they have involved themselves in this operation.

There was a dreadful silence from the other end"… I don't know what business they have in our operation but I doubt their on either our or the KGB's side… Fox, you are to proceed with the mission but you are not to alert snake to this. If she even suspect's that we are on to her then we lose what aid she give us, Snake must remain oblivious to her nature. Do you understand?" The major asked as he commanded that this conversation and startling information remain a secret from the very man who was

Fox bit his tongue from protesting, but in his mind he knew that this was the right course of action, better that they act oblivious then risk what aid this EVA chick gave "I… understand." he gritted out as he diverted his eye's away from the binoculars, looking to side of his headphone's.

"Good. In the mean time keep us updated in your current situation while we look things on our side about EVA." and with that the channel closed from their side.

With the channel close and his eye's returning back through to the binoculars, he could see that she too was getting finished up in her little chat. Seeing the window of decrecny closing Fox moved from his place and rushed back towards the building, he knew that he wouldn't be able to make it before she did so Fox quickly came up with an excuse as he stopped before the massive hole to the building and diverted towards the bush covered rusty fence and unzipped his trousers.

Fox don't need to go into detail of how he went but it did give him an alibi as EVA no doubt saw his back as she walked up behind me "what you doing out here?" she asked, his head shooting up as the sound of liquid pouring and hitting the ground hard reached her ears.

"Taking a leak." he answered, focusing back to empting his bladder, after a short while and the unnerving feeling of eye's boring into the back of his head, he finally stopped and zip up his trousers before turning around to her "What you doing out here?" he now questioned her as to her absence from the room.

"A girl's got to have some privacy when she's in a room filled with just men." she answered as she stood with hand on her hip and slanting slightly to the side.

He matched her sassy smirk with his own and countered "It does make one wonder where you might go to, and so soon after just meeting us." he said as he played on the fact that they just met and she was suppose to keep watch till the son came up and that he awoke to find her missing from the room.

"What, don't you trust me~?" Eva coyly said as she reached out to pet his head but Fox stepped back out of her reach, his face now twisted in a sharp look that didn't and shouldn't belong on his face as it was more natural seen on that of a general or officer of higher rank, a man with years of experience on the battlefield, an assassin who hides in the shadows.

When fox spoke he spoke with an stern sharpness that made her feel like she truly was standing before a man instead of a boy "Saving our live's may have earned you some level of trust but we don't know you from Adam. Espeically given the history of your defection makes one question who's side your really on." The story of her defection from the united states to the USSR made her motive's questionable as to what the KGB gained from this unspoken joint alliance to take down the GRU and the Cobra's.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I going back asleep." Fox pushed passed her, climbing onto the broken factory floor and made his way his back to his room all the while Eva never took her eye's off of him as she looked at the enigma that was the boy who stood and talked like a man in a child's body.

'Who... and what is this boy?' Eva thought as she stared at the fleeting form of the boy who soon disappeared from her sight.

-The next morning-

The sun was out and basking the land in it's bright glow, wiping away the darkness of the night and leaving only small shadows in the illuminated jungle.

Inside the abanded factory Snake began to stir, his eye's opening up to behold through barely open lids the sight of large rounded buttocks I black undergarments faceing toward him, barely awake he failed to register the sight before him.

However the sound of crunching leaves outside brought him and awoke his tagalong to the full reality that they were no alone.

"What's the matter?" Eva asked half dressed as her suit was only up to her hips as she stared at snake to see why he jumped to his feet like that.

"We're surrounded." Snake answered, Fox jump to the window who see what he was seeing "There's four of them." he noted but knew for sure that there was more as these men weren't simply passing by but combing the area.

"Shite." Fox cursed as he dove for the door, picking up the chair he was sleeping on and jamming it against the knob to prevent any of the GRU soldiers from coming in.

"Here, give me a hand." Eva said as she went to the head of the bed with her hand's hooked under it's frame, Snake seeing what she was getting at went to the opposite end and had his hand gripping the large single metal frame, the both of them picked it up and moved it all the while Fox covered the door as they set the bed side ways against the barred window leaving a huge empty space where the trap door laid present on the floor.

They both walked to the latch with Eva opening the trap door to present a dirt ground underneath with a large gap big enough for them to crawl under. "We can use this to get to the basement." eva said as she picked up her helmet and dropped down, she knelt down close to the dirt ground and peered though one of the many fenced openings to see what they were up against and what she saw caused her to curse "damnit... ocelot!" she hiss out seeing the young blonde GRU Commander walking with one of his men.

"Kid get in here. Quick!" Snake ordered and fox bolted from the door and joined Eva in the hole where he began to crawl in under the whole underside of the entire factory building, hearing the stomping of footsteps as he slowly moves forward towards the hole he previously used to escape from the Fear the first time he was ever cornered.

Eva stayed behind to give snake some final words before she leaves "I'll get past them on my bike. I'll call you later!"

Snake nodded "Ok, i'll keep them buy." snake would buy the both of them time and the opportunity to escape by taking out the GRU soldiers encroaching on them.

Then what eva did surprised him as she leaned up and peck him on the cheek "Don't go dying on me now." she said before she started to crawl away with snake shutting the trap door over her.

He could hear the soldiers closing in on the door that fox had jammed shut but that would not stop them, he moved over to the open old storage locker big enough to fit his form into and squeezed himself in, pulling it closed on himself and just in time as the door to the room rattled but the soldier's could not enter.

*BANG!* the sound of a shotgun sounding out and the sight of the entire knob and the head of the chair being blown off before the entire door fell forward from it's hinges and a flash bang exploded within though it was outside the flied of view of snake who wasn't blinded to see GRU men stormed in.

"Clear!" they cried out as they saw that the entire room was empty but did not look to see about searching it properly before storming out.

With Fox, the young agent had crawled out from under the factory and went around from the left side, sticking close to the walls and keeping an eye on both his rear flank and the front as he heard the GRU patrol quickly exit out of the room though there was now sounds of battle as they entered, telling him that snake hadn't been caught yet.

He slowly reared around the corner but something caught his eye that made him stop in the large shadow of the building, there in the outline of the the path illuminated by the sun was the shadow of a soldier, fox peered around the corner he came from but there was no soldiers there so that left only one outcome, his head shot up towards the room where he could see the sight of an elbow sticking out from the top of the roof.

Pulling out his EZ he slowly reared around making sure that there was no one else coming around before he took aim and fired, hitting the exposed limb, the soldier never knew what hit him as the small dart stuck out from his arm or the toxin rushing through his system before he fell backwards onto the roof.

With the sentry on the roof down, things were now more easier to move around without being spotted by a sniper, Fox saw the advantage that height gave him and so started to climb up the ladder leading to the roof were the first of the down soldiers laid.

Climbing up to the near perfect roof, Fox crouched down and walked across the roof, gaining a clear advantage as he saw the number of men that they were up against, tunning his radio to snake's frequency he gave a simple but clear message to the man he was with "There are 6 of them." and with that closed the channel off before any reply could be given.

Fox seeing the closest of the Gru soldier directly under him in the ruined part of the factory, Fox decided to thin their numbers a bit with his AK at the ready, inching closer to edge, he prepared as he jumped off and landed right on the man who cushioned his fall but did not fall unconscious as his body laid under him, Fox quickly bashed the butt of his AK in his face now rendering him down and out of the fight.

Fox got off of him and started to search the down trooper, pulling out a few more mag's and taking a couple of his frag and flash bangs from him as well as his shotgun for that bit of extra fire power in these tight spaces. He pushed the close ranged gun nozzle first into the slip of his pack with the wooden handle sticking out from behind is shoulder so that when he needs it he can just pull it out by reaching behind his shoulder.

With that done Fox picked himself up and moved on, he rushed towards one of the destroyed brick walls where the KGB Troops were killed and pressed his back against it as he heard the crunching of footsteps emanating from the other side, tightening his grip on his gun Fox waited as he heard the foot step getting closer to the edge before a shadow stretched out towards his side of the field.

"What the!?" a voice not belonging to both Snake and Eva cried out as the person it belonged to saw the body laying in the grass not far away, the shadow stretched further as the footsteps got closer before the dark fabric of the GRU commando entered into his vision. Fox rush at him and before he knew it, his head shot up as Fox swung the stock of his gun upwards hitting his chin and momentarily dazing him before taking a hold of his arm and pulling throwing him into the cover of the brick wall from any eye's outside.

The Soldier slumped against the wall with his weapon thrown out of his hands, as he vision returned he bared witness to pistol aimed at his head, as he moved his arms to surrender and before he could mutter out a plea *Phew!* a dart hit him dead centre in the middle of his forehead before slumped against the wall snoring like a drunken sailor.

With three out of 7 down and possibly more around the corner, Fox opted to go the other way that he came, slowly moving to the back of the factory, squeezing between the fence and the wall as he back tracked around, inching against the wall as he instinctively knew that someone was around the corner, holding his gun tightly against himself he jumped around with a gun pointed at the head of a man who grasped the barrel of it with one hand while the other also held a gun inches from his face.

Snake and fox relaxed and pulled their weapons away "How many?" snake asked as he stood before Fox who lost that killer look he had a moment ago.

"Three. You?" Fox asked as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Four." Snake answered.

"That makes seven, but where's-" Without warning a shot rang out drawing their attention that they weren't finished just yet, Snake turned to fox and pointed the way he came without saying a word.

Fox nodded as he turned back around and slowly walked with Snake doing the same on his end, they both split up to cover more ground, snake putting himself out in the open to draw attention while fox followed from the shadows in the north as snake maneuverer through the broken and open walls of the destroyed half until-

"I've been waiting for this moment." Snake stopped and looked up towards the top of the metal staircase where Snake saw Eva her head shielded in her fully protective biker helm but held at the mercy of Ocelot who stood right behind her, using her as a shield with a knife pointed directly at her throat.

"That's it! that's the stance!" Ocelot proclaimed as he saw the familiar stance that Snake held himself in, the basic prepared standing of CQC with his handgun in one hand and a knife in the other as they clasped together to hold both that he aimed at Ocelot.

Eva tried to escape his hold but he brought right back in "I don't think so." he said as he got control of her again but his hand landed upon her chest "Wha...?" he breathed out as he felt the bump through her suit "A female spy." he said as he groped her breast. He once again aimed his knife directly at her throat so that if she tried again to escapes she would only impale her neck into the knife, Ocelot sniff her covered neck, smelling the scent waving off of her "This bitch is wearing perfume."

Snake slowly encroached forward, trying to get within a good angle to help out Eva "Stay where you are." but was stopped as Ocelot noticed him moving, he pointed his new gun at him before catching Fox from the corner of his eye's as he saw the young agent slowly pulling out from the right of the ruined building "You too." he commanded as he pointed to fox who encroached from his side, he warned them both as he held the knife to Eva's neck closer while pointing his gun at the young agent.

"I see that you've got yourself a single action army." Snake noted at the new gun in his hand, upon closer inspection the 6 shooter revolver had Engravings on it's entire body, professionally done for a gun but then again it looked too well done to be a stylish weapon.

"That's Right, there'll be no accident's this time." Ocelot said as he marvelled at his new gun, taking the advice snake gave him the last time they met about his technique's.

Snake smirked as he thought back to Ocelot's moment of Humiation brought upon by his arrogance "You call that an accident? well it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't been showing off."

Anger exploded on Ocelot's face while the smirk's grew on Fox and Snake's "what did you say!?" Ocelot growled out.

"It's a nice gun, I'll give you that. But the engraving gives you tactical advantage whatsoever. Unless you were planning to auction it off as a collectors item." The gun didn't look it was made to shoot but for display, It must've costed Ocelot quite a bit of his salary to buy the fancy looking gun only to find that it doesn't work.

"and you're forgetting one more very basic thing..." Ocelot listened closely as snake dropped his guard before the armed man "you don't have what it takes to kill me." he said inviting Ocelot to shoot him as he spread his arms from out of his body.

Gritting his teeth Ocelot took aim "We'll see." he seethed out as he pulled the trigger *Click!* his eye's went wide as the revolver's hammer went down but no bullet's were fired *Click! Click!* again and again the hammer slammed down but the gun never fired. It was then that Eva took the initive of Ocelot's moment of distraction and weakness, her leg kick up high and over her shoulder where her boot hit his face forcing him back before sending him of the top with a round house finisher that sent him flying off the roof.

She then jumped and flipped through the air, landing perfectly on her bike, as she started the engine Ocelot got up, wielding his knife as he stood before Eva. Eva drove and ocelot charged but against an expertly driven motor vehicle... he never stood a chance as EVA reared her bike slamming and grinding against ocelot's face and body, using him as spring board as she lauched herself in the air performing backflip with her bike, landing perfectly back down while ocelot once more fell back to the earth on his back. His knife sailing in the air, Eva drove right passed him and next to both snake and Fox, catching the knife in her hand.

"That thing carries six shots." Snake started as he walked up to the downed and dazed GRU commander who now had tread marks on his face "the Makarov carries 8. You got to get a feel for how many you have left." Snake explained the basic's that all soldier's should know when handling a weapon, knowing how many bullet's you have in the chamber will most deffiently save you're life whenever you are back in a corner.

Without knowing how much you have and how many you're gun can hold is a one way ticket to your own demise, and ocelot has clearly proved that since he hasn't taken the time to adjust himself to his new gun's capacity then his old gun.

Ocelot picked himself up along with his revolver and stared at the highly crafted weapon with disbelief and confusion as to why it didn't fire for him when all five out of 6 bullet's are in the chamber "This is a high class weapon. it's not meant for shooting people." Snake explained as this weapon was only for decoration not usage.

"Damn!" Ocelot spat out, infuriated that this gun didn't work after getting it and that it's true purpose was nothing more then to look pretty like a designer purse on his being. He spun his useless gun in his finger expertly while the other held a finger before his face as his eye's darted between the three of them before holstering the useless revolver backwards in his holster but then flipped it the right way without looking.

"This isn't over yet!" he said as he pointed both finger's at snake before bolting.

Eva pulled out her gun but Snake stopped he "Don't!" he commanded he held her gun away from the fleeing form of the Gru Commander.

"Why!?"

"He's still young." Snake said, watching as fled from their sight, running in defeat without a gun to defend himself against them.

"You'll regret stopping." she warned as she put her gun back before realisation exploded in her eye's and she quickly push her visor down "Damnit! I've got to get back before he does." she then put the peddle to the metal and drove, turning around within the tight corner expertly. Snake and Fox watched as she drived up the metal stair case like a ramp and flew high into the air like a professional stuntmen, landing on the roof of the factory and driving clear off of it and into the gate, breaking it clear open for Snake and Fox to progress on through for the mission.

Fox Readied his weapon, pulling the rail back that clicked ready as he prepared for the venture ahead "Ready when you are Boss."

finished.

After this I will be implementing Omake's or in other words secret Theatre Eggs.

Original pieces not copies of the game.

Again, wishing you all a Merry Christmas.
