Location: Military Base
The sounds of fighting ahead gave way to another boom. Snake elected to sit still through the consequential cave-in, a short-lived event for all the violent shaking and crumbling, until he could move forward. The path ahead was a grass and stone filled cavern lit by a...
"Really, clerk, only the Superman?" Rockefeller dropped down into the window frame from some perch unseen, staring through the pane at Odiel. There was genuine disbelief in his voice, especially after all his efforts for this group of misfits. "Wouldn't you want the command of a true...

Tadvolts were sent flying by Roxas' spinning blade, some frozen stuck to walls and others raining back down as frog popsicles by the magic that launched them. More still were only half frozen, and grounded as a result, or protected by the chains of...
Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach's Castle
All out war had broken out at the Princess's castle. Washing machines hailed from the sky while bikers, shopping carts, and school buses raced through the royal garden. Meanwhile, a yellow submarine vessel hovered round the castle perimeter...

Steve's tunnel opened into another darkened chamber. The blackness was somewhat alleviated by the torches burning behind him and Roxas, revealing a dish sized depression ahead of them that split into a Y-junction. Inside the bowl, one path cut through...

Roxas' back got further and further away with Snake watching all the while, his gaze hovering around the boys blind spots and peripherals. His overwatch ended when another batch of zombies fell between them. At that point, he drew his knife in his...
Rockefeller didn't budge from his chair, and it didn't seem like Maximus needed to either. What a village they were, banding together against the nurse's sacrificial whims. He let the others take center stage, nodding in agreement with their points made. The unknowns of the situation were too...
Rockefeller gathered around Maximus after rounding up the others, bringing a chair with him from the dining room. He sat with his arms folded over the spine, head cradled in his forearms, gently rocking it side to side while he waited for some news of interest to him. Don't get him wrong, it's...

Snake held off on making any other orders until Steve himself was ready. With their return, he assumed they had gathered all their belongings, but the Minecraft man was gone before any last second affirmations could be made. Groaning aloud from his...

An element of tender thought snuck into Snake's glower. He could pick up Roxas' troubles whether it was in posture, voice, face-to-face, or face-to-back. Their worries were demons that Snake had battled all throughout his own life. What was his purpose...

Snake picked up the Keyblade and put as tight a grip on it as he could comfortably maintain. He acknowledged Roxas' warning for what it was and this was the simplest precaution he could take without any specialized equipment. If Snake could help it, it...
Rockefeller's eyes narrowed on Rosie, then the boot. His gaze went back and forth between the two before settling on the shoe. He felt the layer of grime and dust she'd talked about between his fingers, but the leather was blackened and sagging from age and work, not disuse. The sole was sunken...

Snake didn't even flinch to Roxas, just let his glowering expression suggest caution in their movements. He kept his aim steady on his gun, and his aim even steadier on his target. If there were any doubt in his intention to shoot, that confident...

"Steve? Give me a sign." Snake hunkered over the hole, waiting awhile for Steve to confirm a visual. He only sent another message when there was no confirmation the first had been received, then went to planning for the worst case scenario when the same occurred...
Rockefeller nodded, grunting his acknowledgement to the air between them. "I'll be right behind you." He didn't come down right away as he suggested, taking the time to do another full sweep of the surrounding woods and hills from his perch. If there were any hints that someone were behind Max...
"Are you saying I'm not just as good a lookout?" Rockefeller hawked up a laugh. "He can't always be awake, and the thief is absolutely useless as always, so I'm on watch duty. At least for the night. Don't worry, though - I can shoot down anyone who comes over those hills. And they're not safe...
Steve had free reign while Snake balanced digits and decimals in the Codec. He watched the signal bars float and fall with the clarity of the transmission following that pattern, until a comical 'oof' startled him from his focus. He turned to the mineshaft, listening for awhile, first waiting...
Snake slid to a dirt-stirring stop a few seconds after Steve, panting hard. The run was a fresh hell for him. Exhaustion, he can deal with. The soldier's pulse quickly slowed to a manageable drum as he got his breathing under control. But this suit is chaffing. In a manner deeper than a rash...
Snake reassured Otacon's feverish final warnings to be safe with patience before dropping the Codec call. It rang almost immediately after, the unfamiliar frequency being the only evidence that Otacon wasn't calling again. It rang unanswered for a few seconds before Snake decided to accept the...
???, United States - Philanthropy Warehouse
Snake's huffs of exertion echoed through the warehouse, punctuated by the swipe and return of a blade. The scent of his sweat was on the air, its taste in his mouth, but there was no sense of satisfaction in the effort he was producing. Snake...
