Metal kh-vids Solid: The Twin Cynics Pt. 8

Here's part 8. Lots of stuff happening here.

.~+~.​

In our last chapter, both SA and Forsaken were killed as it seems that Laurence_Fox bit the dust...or did he? Perhaps we'll find out if SJ can pry his eyes away from Metal Gear.

SJ: But it's shiney.

Soush: Focus, SJ.

SJ: Right. How's it going?

Soush: Not bad. I just got past his 3rd security level. Amidst all this porn he was a pretty careful guy.

SJ: Think you'll break through soon?

Soush: There isn't a system made that I couldn't hack into.

SJ: Right...keep at it.

SJ climbs to the top of Halo.

SJ: I'm the Halo king baby.

Soush: You are an embaressment. But I'm in!

SJ: *Collects himself* You're past security?

Soush: Bingo!

SJ: So what you you got for me? Anything on the PAL override?

Soush: Not yet. But I found somthing else! It's not a code launching device at all! It's a device capable of installing a trojan horse virus on anything it gets access to! Iphones, cell phones, computers...basically anything that can access the 'net.

SJ: ....That does not sound good.

Soush: Its not just KHV anymore... The scariest thing about this weapon...this thing is stealth.

SJ: Why did you have to say that? This thing can just keep spamming code once activated causing anyone who uses the site to lose their computer?

Soush: Yes. And most if not all virus programs would be able to clean it up.

SJ: An undectable trojan horse. Laurence_Fox has too much time on his hands.

Soush: Maybe...but this thing would be impossible to intrcept. It could mean the end of the world...and KHV!

RVR: Priorities Soush...and I'm afraid simply banning Fox won't do anything here if he's got a virus that strong.

SJ: You've changed, RVR.

RVR: I don't need to make excuses.

Soush: SJ, listen to me. This thing's never actually been tested, only simulated.

SJ: They ran a computer model?

Soush: Yeah but I can't find the data from this exercise.

SJ: Mustang did give me an optical disc.

RVR: Do you still have it?

SJ: No...Darkandroid took it from me.

RVR: Well damn...

Soush: The spammers have replaced the dummy code with a real malicious code.

SJ: You think they can do it?

Soush: I think so.

SJ: Did you find out how to override the thing yet?

Soush: Not yet. I'll keep looking.

While on the top of the Gear, SJ spies two figures in a control room. He uses his camera to zoom in and he finds it looks to be Laurence_Fox speaking with Darkandroid.

DA: Okay, I've entered the codes and taken the safety off. We can launch anytime.

LF: There's still no response from the Admins. It looks like we'll have to show them that we mean business.

DA: Should I set it for GameTrailers.com?

LF: No, there's been a change. Set it for stage6.com.

DA: Why boss?

LF: I'm sure you nor Hissora would like a Trojan Horse infecting your 2nd home, right?

SJ: *off-screen* Fox!

DA: But why? There's nothing there.

LF: Wrong. It's a test site.

DA: Test site?

LF: If we cripple a major website, the game's over. But a code infecting a test site can still be concealed from the public. Meanwhile the Admins will be worried about a strike from stage6.

DA: That'll probably mean top secret talks between both websites leaders.

LF: Naturally. And in the process, Sara will be forced to divulge the existence of a new and highly devestating trojan horse to the stage6ese. What do you think that will do the KHVer's repuation? Or Sara's?

DA: And then Youtube and Veoh will...I see.

LF: Yes. When the other sites hear about this new weapon, they'll all want to contact us. The Admins won't be very happy when we start selling their own virus to the highest bidders. Yes. Sara will break. She will give into our demands.

DA: Deathspank's DNA and one billion dollars. Not to mention making you an Admin.

SJ: ...one billion dollars!

LF: That money will be used to cure our Forum Helpers as well. I'm also including FoxBAN vaccine in our demands.

DA: FoxBan. It killed Split and the Sec Mod. SO it's true that it affects older members first. Libre might not have been affected because he wore a mask.

LF: Aquarius wasn't infected either. Perhaps due to those tranquilizers she always took.

DA: Something to do with the adrenalin level in the blood? Or maybe this FoxBan was still experimental and they haven't worked out the bugs yet...

LF: In any case...have you heard from your friend Hissora?

DA: He still has doubts about the ability of Metal Gear. He said we can talk after the launch was successful.

LF: Hmm...he is a very prudent man.

DA: There's nothing to worry about. He wants Metal Gear and the virus so bad he can taste it.

LF: Since Libre died, the goon's brainwashing has started to wear off. I'm worried about the men's morale. An alliance with another site would boost that as well.

DA: What are you saying?

LF: We're not going anywhere. We're going to dig in here.

DA: We could still escape...

LF: We've got the most poweful weapon ever made and we're about to ally with Hissora's forces.

DA: Are you going to fight the entire internet?

LF: And what's wrong with that? We can launch a virus at any website on the internet. A virus invisible to detection. Once we get the DNA and the money...the internet will be ours.

DA: You're not thinking of reviving Deathspank's dream?

LF: From today...call this place 'Outer Heaven' where trolls fear to tread.

SJ: Deathspank's dream.

DA: But Boss, you're not worried about the PAL being overridden? If the code is entered again, it'll be deactivated.

LF: Don't worry. The Sec Mods are both dead.

By this point, both of them have plainly seen SJ on one of the security monitors.

DA: Does Shadowjak know how the override system works?

LF: You interrogated him. Don't you know?

DA: he didn't have any keys on him.

LF: Good. Then no one can stop Metal Gear now.

DA: By the way, what should we do with that woman? Want me to kill her?

LF: Let her live. She's RVR's niece and SJ cares for her. We'll keep her as our ace in-the-hole.

SJ: CtR...she's alive.

Soush: Snake, I found Mustang's top-secret files!

SJ: Great job.

Soush: How's it going there?

SJ: They've finished inputting the PAL codes. So how do we deactivate them?

Soush: If you insert the keys into the system when the code is active, you deactivate it. And if you insert them when it's inactive, you activate it. And you can only use the keys once.

SJ: Only once, huh?

Soush: Yeah..you'd better get started soon. We don't have much time.

SJ: But it takes three keys. I only got one.

Soush: You have all three. It changes at different temperatures.

SJ: So it's actually three keys in one. Clever.

Soush: Can you see the input terminals in the center of the Control room? The three laptops are for emergency input. The screens should look different to correspond with a different key. Input the keys in order from left to right.

RVR: The world is riding on that key, Snake.

DA: Who's that?

DA fires at our hero who has gotten mildly careless by the doorway. The cardkey goes flying out of his hand and into the drainage ditch.

LF: SJ, this is bullet-proof glass! There's no way in! I'll enjoy watching you die.

And with that the door to the control room seals shut with Fox's laughter echoing off the metallic walls.

RVR: SJ, you've got to get that key!

SJ retreives the card and heads back to the control room to input the codes. Fox and DA seem to have vacated. he enters in the first key and goes to freeze the second where he fought Forsaken. Once he freezes it, he returns to the room to input the code. He heads to the blast furnance to warm the key up.

Xaldin: SJ, it's about Mish.

SJ: Then you should talk to RVR about that. He's looking into it.

Xaldin: Turn your monitor off.

SJ: Done. Go ahead.

Xaldin: Sorry. But I didn't want RVR to hear.

SJ: Okay so what's up?

Xaldin: I got a good friend in the Pentagon. He's the one who told me about it. It looks like the DIA recently developed a new type of assassination weapon. SJ, have you heard of something called "FoxBan"?

SJ: ....No. FoxBan? Fox and the others were talking about it.

Xaldin: It's some sort of automatic banning system that targets specific people. I don't know all the details but...

SJ: What are you trying to say?

Xaldin: It's too similar.

SJ: What is?

Xaldin: The cause of death. Didn't Mustang and Arc...I mean SplitOverload....die of something that looked like a heart attack?

SJ: Yeah...?

Xaldin: Well...apparently FoxBan kills it's victims by simulating a heart attack.

Sj: You're saying Mish was behind this?

Xaldin: You've seen how Ban happy she gets. Didn't Mish give you some kind of injection?

SJ: The nanomachines...

Xaldin: She was in the best position to have done it, but I don't know what her motive was.

SJ: ...Does RVR know?

Xaldin: Not sure. But he hasn't questioned her.

SJ: I'll ask him myself. RVR, what's new with Mish?

RVR: I just placed her under temporary ban. She was sending coded messages to the Alaskan base. I didn't want to believe it, but she must be working with the spammers. She's being interrogated now.

Xaldin: So it's true isn't it?

SJ: Mish...I can't believe it.

Xaldin: That means the FoxBan vaccine must be around somewhere.

SJ: I got bigger things to worry about.

Xaldin: You might be infected too, you know.

SJ: Infected? This isn't Resident Evil. All I can do is leave it up to RVR.

SJ enters the blast furnace to change the key again.

Mish: SJ, can you hear me? It's Mish..

SJ: Mish?!

Mish: RVR and the other's are busy right now...I'm on a different CP.

SJ: Mish, is what RVR says true?

Mish: ...Yes. But not everything I said was a lie.

SJ: Who are you?

Mish: I don't know. I don't know my real name or even what my parents looked like. I bought all my identification. But my reason for getting into genetics was true.

SJ: Cause you want to know yourself right?

Mish: Yes. I want to know where I cam from..my age, my race...anything.

SJ: Mish...

Mish: I was found on my own in the 80's...as an orphan.

SJ: You're too worried about the past. Isn't it enough to understand who you are now?

Mish: Understand who I am now? Why should I? No one else tries to understand me.

SJ: Is that Linkin park in the background?

Mish: I was alone for so long...until I met by big brother and "him".

SJ: Your big brother?

Mish: Yes. Craig Paterson.

SJ: What?

Mish: He was a young Forum Helper just barely on staff when he picked me up in the Forum Families. Yes, Craig Paterson, the man who you destroyed, was my brother and my only family.

SJ: No...Shikamarus Shadow?

Mish: We survived that hell together, Craig and I. He protected me. He's my one connection...the only connection I have to my past.

SJ: And he brought you back to the Forum?

Mish: No. I was in Competitive Arena when "he" came.

SJ: Who is "he"? You mean Deathspank?

Mish: Yes. he brought us to the forum. But then he and my brother went back to continue the war. And that's when it happened. You killed my benefactor and sent my brother home a cripple. I vowed revenge and joined Fox-hound. I knew it was my best chance to meet you and I prayed for the day I would.

SJ: So were your prayers answered?

Mish: Yes. I waited two long years.

SJ: To kill me? Is that all you cared about.

Mish: Yes that's right. Two years. You were all I thought about for two long years...like some kind of twisted obsession.

SJ: Do you still hate me?

Mish: ...Not exactly. I was partly wrong about you.

SJ: What about Fox and the others?

Mish: No. I'll have my revenge on them too.

SJ: Mish, you didn't kill tat doctor too, did you? The one that used Shikamarus Shadow for experiments.

Mish: No...that was my brother. Afterwards I covered it up and helped him hide out.

SJ: So that Ninja...I mean Shikamarus Shadow...he's come here to kill me?

Mish: ..I don't think so. I think he just came here to fight you. I wasn't sure before, but now I think I understand. A final battle with you...that's all he lives for. I'm sure of it.

SJ: Shikamarus Shadow...no...Mish..tell me something.

Mish: ...about FoxBan? FoxBan is a type of banning system that targets and bans only specific people. It's programed to respond to specific patterns in the user's cells. It causes the cells to die. The epsilon is carried along to the heart, where they attatch to the heart cells.

SJ: And then they cause a heart attack?

Mish: banning them from the forum and from life.

SJ: You must have programmed that thing to kill me too, right? Do I still have time? I don't blame you for wanting me dead. But I can't go yet, I still have a job to do.

Mish: Listen, SJ, I'm not the one who made the decision to use FoxBan. You were injected with FoxBan as a part of this operation. No...that's not the whole truth...The real thing I wanted to tell you was...SJ...I...

Guard: hey! What are you doing!?

RVR: SJ, I can't allow Mish to make anymore transmissions. She's been removed from this operation.

SJ returns to the control room to enter in the final card key. But instead of deactivating the process....he's activated it.

Xaldin: Thank you, SJ. Now the code is completed. Nothing can stop the virus now.

SJ: Xaldin what's going on?

Xaldin: You found the key and even activated the virus for us too. I really must express my gratitude. Sorry to have involved you in that silly shape memory alloy business.

SJ: What are you talking about?

Xaldin: We weren't able to learn Arc's code. Even with Libre's psychic powers, he couldn't read his mind. Then DA accidently killed him during the interrogation. In other words, we weren't able to launch the virus and we were all getting a little worried. Without the threat of a virus strike, our demands would never be met.

SJ: What do you mean?

Xaldin: Without the codes, we had to find some other way. That's when we decided...you might prove useful, SJ.

SJ: What?

Xaldin: First I thought we might get the information from you, SJ. So I had SplitOverload disguise himself as Arc. Unfortunatly, Split didn't survive the encounter, thanks to FoxBan.

SJ: You mean you had this planned from the beginning? Just to get me to input the codes?

Xaldin: You didn't think you made it this far by yourself, did you?

SJ: Who the hell are you?

Xaldin: In any case, the preparations are complete. Once the internet glimpses the power of this virus, the Admins will have no choice but to surrender the FoxBan vaccine to me. Their ace-in-the-whole is useless now...SJ you're the only one who doesn't know. Poor fool.

SJ: Who are you anyway?

Xaldin: I'll tell you everything you want to know. If you come where I am that is.

SJ: Where are you?

Xaldin: Very close by.

RVR: Snake, that's not Xaldin!

Xaldin(?): RVR, you're too late.

RVR: Xaldin's body was just discovered back in Bermuda. I didn't know because my Codec link with him was cut off. But Madiyasha said his transmission signal was coming from inside the base.

SJ: So who is it?

RVR: SJ, you've been talking to...

Xaldin(?): ....Me...dear brother...

And with that, Xaldin would remove the sunglasses and let down his hair....revealing none other than Laurence_Fox.

SJ: Fox?! How the...?!

LF: You've served your purpose. You may die now!

At that moment the control room door would seal and the room filled with gas. SJ uses a gas mask. He contacts Soush to hack the door while he attempts using a weapon to break the glass with no avail. Soush unlocks the door where he just glimpses Fox running around the corner.

SJ: Fox!

LF: SJ. Did you like my sunglasses?

SJ: Damn.

LF: You point a weapon at your own brother?

SJ: Why disguise yourself as Xaldin?

LF: So I could manipulate you more easily. And you performed quite well, I must say. Although the boys on staff are probably saying the same thing.

SJ: What are you talking about?

LF: Following orders blindly with no questions asked. You've lost your warrior's pride and become nothing more than a pawn, SJ.

SJ: What?

LF: Stopping the virus launch, rescuing the hostages. It was all just a diversion.

SJ: A diversion?

LF: Staff only needed you to come into contact with us. That's what killed Mustang and SplitOverload.

SJ: You don't mean...

LF: That's right. You were sent in here to kill us so they could retreive the virus undamaged along with the bodies of the goons. From the beginning, the staff was just using you as a vector to spread FoxBan!

SJ: FoxBan. ...It can't be! Are you telling me Mish was working with the staff?

LF: They thought she was. But it seems that Dr. Mish could not be controlled so easily.

SJ: What?

LF: You've got a spy working in the staff. He reported that Dr. Mish altered FoxBan's program just before the operation. But...no one knows how or why.

SJ: I wonder...maybe they arrested her so they could find out the answer to just that.

LF: No doubt. But I had no idea she was motivated by such petty revenge...we still don't know what changes she made to FoxBan's program. Oh well..it doesn't matter. I've already added the Foxban vaccine to my list of Admin demands.

SJ: There's a vaccine?

LF: There must be. But that woman is the only one who really knows. Anyway, it might prove to be unnecessary.

SJ: Why's that?

LF: You were successful in coming in contact with all of us...so we must have been exposed to the virus. It's true that Mustang and SplitOverload were killed by FoxBan. But DA, myself, and you, the carrier were apparently unaffected.

SJ: A bug in the virus' programming.

LF: Could be. In any case, if it doesn't kill you then I'm not worried either. After all, our genetic code is identical.

SJ: So it's true...you and I are...

LF: Yes, twins, but we're not ordinary twins...we're twins linked by cursed genes. les enfents terribles. You're fine. You got all the old man's dominant genes. I got all the flawed, recessive genes. Everything was done so that you would be the greatest of all of his children. The only reason I exist is so they could create you.

SJ: I was the favorite huh.

LF: That's right! I'm just the leftovers of what they used to make you. Can you understand what it's like to know that you're garbage since the day you were born?! But...I'm the one father chose.

SJ: ...So that's why you're so obsessed with Deathspank. Some warped kind of love.

LF: Love?! It's hate!! he always told me I was inferior and now I'll have my revenge!! You should understand me brother. You killed our father with your own hands! You stole my chance for revenge. Now I'll finish the work that father began. I will surpass him...I will destroy him!

SJ: You're just like Mish.

LF: Well I'm not like you. Unlike you. I'm proud of the destiny that is encoded into my very genes.

Fox than jumps into the cockpit of the Metal Gear that had been looming in the background of their little discussion.

LF: SJ, your blood will be the first to be spilt by this glorious new weapon. Consider it an honor a gift from your brother. Now I'll show you! The power of the weapon that will lead us in the 21st century!

SJ: It's moving. How do I stop it?

How will SJ stop Metal Gear and Fox? That will be revealed in our next chapter.

 

I laughed so hard at this "Xaldin: You've seen how Ban happy she gets." xD
And FoxBan is clever.

Epic battle in next Part :3

 

I came up with the name <.<

I forgot the Gray and Naomi were so close in the game so i forgot about my past with mish D:

 

Yes VV came up with FoxBan.

 

*Gasp* originally planning to affect GT. =O

Hissora is a she not he. =P

Awesome chapter.

 

So am I. :3

And yet I make myself out to be Liquid.

 

Err good point. XD

 

If she objects I'll remove her.
