Metal KH-VIDS Solid 3: Spam Eater [2]

Cast
Part 1

Okay so here's part 2 where yours truly makes an entrance. Other stuff happens so go and read.

.~+~.
When last we left our hero, Spike was heading North to rescue the scientist Soushirei in Soviet territory. Let's join him.​

Spike crouches down in some tall grass and removes his binoculars to observe some soldiers up ahead. He also has his radio switched on.

Spike: Major, I've spotted two enemy soldiers.

Major Tom(DA): They're probably KGB troops sent to guard Soushirei.

Spike: AK-47s and grenades.

Major Tom(DA): Snake, your presence in Soviet territory is already a violation of international law. We can't let the Kremlin find out that the CIA and the American government are involved. Contact with the enemy is strictly prohibited. Don't engage them in battle, either. This is a stealth mission. Got that?

The Boss(Mish): The major is right. The point of this mission is to sneak through the jungle without being seen. The success of the mission depends on how well you use your camouflage. Change your camouflage by selecting "CAMOFLAUGE" from the Survival Viewer. The "UNIFORM" option lets you pick your uniform, while the "FACE" option lets you change you face paint. Choosing camouflage that blends in with your surroundings will help you conceal yourself more effectively. Also don't forget that anything that moves will stand out in the jungle. If you just stand up and run around like an idiot, you're bound to be spotted. But if you crawl instead, you should be able to sneak by without being noticed. You can see how effective your camouflage is by looking at the Camo Index. The Camo Index shows how well your current camouflage blends in with the surrounding area. The higher the value, the harder you are to spot, and vice versa. The key is to make yourself one with nature. Keep that in mind as you go along, OK?

Spike crawls by the soldiers. Throwing a snake to distract one before point a gun on one of them to get items from him. The other one is knocked out and dragged to an area of grass. A few more soldiers are encountered but Spike deals with him in mostly the same way as the first. Finding thermal goggles in a fallen log.

Spike soon comes to a small bridge guarded by solders. No way past them but he quickly spies a hornet's nest which he shoots down. Causing the soldiers to run. Spike crosses the bridge.

Spike soon finds the abandoned factory where he switches his radio on.

Spike: Major, I've reached the abandoned factory where Soushirei is supposedly being held. This place is a dump. I can't see Soushirei from here. The security is pretty tight. There are sentries posted around the perimeter. I wonder how many are inside.

Major Tom(DA): Your objective - Soushirei - is inside the factory...they should be holding him in a room in the northeast section.

Spike: The northeast section. Got it.

Major Tom(DA): Be careful. Your mission is to bring Soushirei back alive. He must not be exposed to any kind of danger. Do not approach Soushirei while in the Alert Phase. And one more thing, Snake.

Spike: You mean there's more?

Major Tom(DA): No...it's just...when you get to Soushirei, I want you to tell him something from me.

Spike: And that is?

Major Tom(DA): "Sorry for being so late."

Spike: is that all?

Major Tom(DA): Yes.

Spike ends the call and proceeds into the factory to make sure he is not seen. He tranqs each of the KGB guards making his way northeast in the process. He places the bodies in tall grass and behind boxes so they won't draw attention.

He eases open a door to where Soushirei is. Soushirei is burning what looks like blueprints to something.

Spike: You must be Soushirei.

Soushirei: Are you one of Libregkd's men!? He burns the rest of the blueprints. You'll never get it from me!

Spike: No. I'm a CIA agent. I've come to escort you back to the other side of the Iron Curtain.

Soush: You're CIA?

Spike: I know I don't look like much but...yeah. I was sent by Major Zero, the man who got you out two years ago.

Soush: Zero...

Spike: I have a message from him.

Soush: What is it?

Spike: He said to tell you "Sorry for being so late."

Soush: Did he now..

Spike: What does it mean?

Soush: It means he's a man of his word. But we've got no time for this. You've got to get me out of here before they arrive!

Spike: Who's "they"?

Soush: Colonel Libregkd of GRU. You in the West know him as Thunderbolt.

Spike: Thunderbolt? Never heard of him.

Soush: He's a member of the army's extremist faction. A man who seeks to seize control of the motherland. Ever since the Cuban Missile Crisis two years ago. The Soviets have been pursing a policy of peaceful coexistecne with the West. Despite resistance and criticism from hawks in the army and the provincial authorities. The Soviets have managed to suppress the opposition so far. But the failure of agriculture policies has put them in a precarious position. And on top of that, the tragedy last November.

Spike: President Deathspank's assassination...

Soush: Precisely. In a sense, the Soviets had lost their biggest partner and their power base is rapidly crumbling away. A certain group is plotting to use this opportunity to seize power by rallying the anti-government forces overthrowing the government. The mastermind behind this plot is Colonel Libregkd of the GRU. He has control over another secret weapons research facility much like this one - OKB-812 known as Repliku Design Bureau - and is using it to further his plans. But that is not enough to satisfy him. Now he is plotting to seize the secret weapon I have been developing here and use it as leverage in his bid for power. The intelligence says that they are going to make their move during the test.

Spike: Then...the soldiers outside...

Soush: Exactly. They wouldn't need that many men just to keep me inside. So long as I get my Wii and Brawl...oh wait...wrong time period. Their orders were to prevent Colonel Libregkd from capturing me. Even if it meant killing me in the process or so it would seem. Libregkd will come. I am sure of it. You must get me out of here before then.

Spike: Leave it to me.

Soush: By the way, your Russian is superb. Where did you learn to speak it?

Spike: From my mentor.

Soush: Is that so. America is truly a frightening country.

Spike: Gives Soush a light pat on the shoulder Having second thoughts?

Soush: No. I have no love for this place. Let's go.

Spike turns his radio on after that to contact DA.

Spike: Major, this is Snake. Soushirei is safe with me. He's doing fine. No injuries.

Major Tom(DA): Good work, Snake. Now hurry up and get Soushirei to the recovery point! We'll rendezvous with you there.

Spike: Roger.

Major Tom(DA): What about the sentries?

Spike: Pause. I had to kill them...there was no other way. But no one will know we were involved.

Major Tom(DA): I see.

Spike: What about The Boss?

Major Tom(DA): We lost contact with The Boss some time ago.

Spike: What happened?

Major Tom(DA): It's probably just a weak signal. Just hurry and get Soushirei out of there.

Spike switches his radio off and starts to escort Soushirei out of the room. Soushirei follows keeping cover with direction from Spike. Soushirei appears to know some sort of martial arts from how he stands. But they're being watched.

KGB Soldier: Freeze!

And like that, the KGB surround the pair. But aid is about to come from an unlikely source.

???: So this is the legendary Boss?

The sound of jingling spurs announces the newcomer's arrival as well as the spinning of a small gun about one crimson clad finger. The newcomer is clad in a sort of black uniform.

???: We meet at last.

KGB soldier: You...you're from the Ocelot unit of Spetsnaz! What's a GRU soldier doing here?

The newcomer holsters the gun to make some sort of two fingered gesture at the KGB soldier.

???: Soldier? He adjusts the red beret on his head.

KGB soldier: He's the Ocelot commander!

???: Ha! That's Major Ocelot to you. And don't you forget it!

KGB soldier: Soushirei is ours. Now get out of here.

Major Ocelot(LF): An ocelot never lets his prey escape.

KGB soldier: What?

Ocelot draws his gun causing Spike and Soushirei to duck for cover. He proceeds to take out each of the KGB soldiers that had surrounded Spike and Soushirei earlier. Using an impressive ricochet move on the last one.

He approached one of the soldiers that are still alive and shoots him point blank Using a boot to roll the body off of his hat. He picks it up and hits it against his thigh to get rid of the dirt on it before placing it back on his head.

Ocelot(LF): I can't say it feels good to kill a comrade, even if it is for the GRU.

Spike: Soushirei take cover.

Soushirei sees no reason to argue and flees. meanwhile, Ocelot seems to think something is not right.

Ocelot(LF): Hmm...you're not The Boss, are you?

Ocelot turns before letting loose a loud meow. Soon enough, a number of black clad forms appear from out of the jungle and from the surrounding ruins. This is Major Ocelot's unit...so to speak.

Soushirei: GRU Operatives...

Ocelot holds up a hand, a signal to his fellow ocelots to hold fire.

Ocelot(LF): What is that stance? Ha..that gun? He starts laughing which the rest of the ocelots join in on. If you're not The Boss...then die!

His gun proceeds to jam which Spike picks up on sending Ocelot swiftly to the ground using CQC. Spike disarms Ocelot as Soushirei runs into the jungle.

Ocelot soldier: Major!

Ocelot(LF): Leave him. Shoot the other one! And get him off me!

Spike takes out the rest of the Ocelot's using his tranquilizer gun and CQC. Spike turns his attention back to the Major who once again gets pwn't by CQC to the ground. The bullet discharges from his gun

Ocelot(LF): Impossible...

Spike: You ejected the first bullet by hand didn't you? I see what you were trying to do. But testing a technique you've only heard about in the middle of battle wasn't very smart. You were asking to have your gun jam on you. Besides, I don't think you're cut out for an automatic in the first place.

Ocelot's gaze is rather blurry. Like DA after a bender talking to a large duck called Lisbeth.

Spike: You tend to twist your elbow to absorb the recoil. That's more of a revolver technique.

Ocelot(LF): Midly indignant You..filthy American dog!

He draws a knife from his belt before getting up to attack Spike. Who punches him in the ribcage then hits him on the back of the neck with the hilt of his gun. Then a grab issued to the shoulder would result in the Ocelot commander on his back in the dirt for the third time.

Spike: But that was some fancy shooting... you're pretty good.

A crimson glove grabs onto Spike's wrist. The other hand raises into that two fingered gesture again toward Spike.

Ocelot(LF): Pretty good... Ocelot than finally passes out.

Spike turns on his radio to contact the Major.

Spike: Ground control to Major Tom?

Major Tom(DA): You're a real comedian. Lisbeth didn't even laugh.

Spike: Who? Have you been drinking?

Major Tom(DA): No. Anyway, are you all right?

Spike: I've run into a few snags. These guys were after Soushirei, too. Apparent they were taking orders from a GRU colonel named Libregkd.

Major Tom(DA): A GRU colonel?

Spike: Part of an internal Soviet power struggle, according to Sokolov. Something between KGB and GRU.

Major Tom(DA): Soushirei was being guarded by the KGB and hunted by GRU? Snake, it sounds like this could be even hotter than Cuba.

Spike: I don't like it. Something about the whole thing stinks.

Major Tom(DA): I agree. You'd better hurry.

Spike: Soushirei ran off by himself. But I'll catch up to him.

Major Tom(DA): We're counting on you.

Spike turns off the radio and continues into the jungle to look for Soushirei once again. Leaving the Ocelot commander and his soldiers unconscious for the present moment.

He finds Soushirei by the bridge he encountered earlier.

Spike: You okay?

Soush: Those men were from the Ocelot unit.

Spike: Spetsnaz?

Soush: Yes. The best GRU has to offer. They're coming for me. I'm finished!

Spike: Calm down. I'll get you out of here. I promise. And we've got some of the best backup we could ask for.

A large explosion draws their attention. Soushirei points off to something causing Spike to look. A large machine is seen perched on a cliff upriver.

Spike: That's what they were making you build? Mentally: I'm screwed. T-T

Soushirei: Yes. The Shagohad - "The Treading Behemoth" - a tank capable of launching nuclear IRBMs.

Spike: It can launch nuclear missiles from that kind of terrain? Mentally: I am so screwed.

Soush: Oh yes. And without support from friendly units.

Spike: A nuclear-equipped tank capable of operating solo. Mentally: Someone shoot me now please? is that thing finished?

Soush: No, this is only the end of Phase 1. It won't be truly finished until we complete Phase 2.

Spike: Phase 2?

Soush: The weapon's true form. If it is completed and the colonel gets his hands on it it will mean the end of the Cold War.

Spike: Well there's some good news.


Soush: Then the age of fear will truly begin...

Spike: A world war?

Soush: I had no choice but to cooperate! I didn't want to die. I wanted to see my wife and child again America. Please, take me to America, quickly. They cannot complete it without my help!

Spike: Got it. Let's go!

Spike draws his gun and knife and starts to lead Soushirei to the rendezvous point. Will they make it?

 

Shouldn't this be in CC...?


Oh well, I'll read it later. D:

 

lawl, whur'd I go? D:

I'm actually really yearning for Soush and Spike to get out safely. xD; weird

 

Oh you'll find out. :3

 

Very nice. I look forward to the next part.

 

I yearn for a crab battle.

 

It may very well appear in a coming chapter. >]
