TWO WEEKS LATER

AUTHORS NOTE AT END OF CHAPTER PLS READ

THIS IS ALSO A VERRRRRYYYYY LENGTHY CHAPTER. SO, ENJOY
——————————————————————————————————————————————

STANDING AT A table with multiple sheets of paper and a few files, Y/N and Snake can be seen. That is to say, there is a new mission. This will be the first mission Y/N has taken since his meeting with the Physician. Y/N has changed since the moment he awoke. Well, that's to be anticipated after witnessing years of brutal war footage in a single night and the training he did inside his head.

He's clearly a lot stronger and faster, training against his unit helped prove that. In practice, Y/N was able to effortlessly fight the rest of Unit at once, even shattering bones at times. Snake even went as far as promoting Y/N to captain of his unit.

Truth is, Y/N is actually happy with the expirement. He loves the fact he's getting stronger, faster and just a better fighter overall. Although, one thing that doesn't sit right with him is his bloodlust. He's been itching to kill, but luckily, he's been able to keep his feelings hidden for the most part.

"Alright, Y/N. Our mission is quite simple, all we have to do is kill some guys. We were hired a ton of money to take this guy out. After reading his file, he doesn't seem like all that." Snake assured Y/N, while handing him the file. The man looks like your average asshole, like the wearing sunglasses indoors and always wearing a ton of unnecessary jewelry, type of asshole.

He's also a drug lord, so, it would make most sense if a rival gang hired the two to kill him. "Why isn't the rest of the Unit coming with us?" "Because, it's just one junkie and his henchman we have to take down. Plus, this is your first mission after meeting with the Physician. So, why not see what you can do?" The two exchanged words, and all Y/N could respond with was a, "hm." in agreement.

"Get your gear and meet me here once you're ready." "Got it." The two conversed for the last time before Y/N went back to his room to get prepared. Because Y/N was already dressed in his black suit, he collected his weapons and stowed them in their holsters and lastly, securing his sword on his back. He walked out his room, ready to meet Snake and depart for their mission.

"Ya sure you got everything?" "Yes, sir." "Alright let's headout. They're in a three-story building, and we should be able to handle the first two floors on our own. Our main guy's office is located on the third floor. I'll take the second floor while you take the first. Once you've finished, meet me in the stairwell. You get all that?" "Yes, sir." "Alright let's go. Ah, here. Take these, and this." Snake said passing Y/N a couple smoke bombs and a camera.

"You won't be able to see through them, but, you'll figure out. I guess. You still have the upper hand because they won't see it coming. If you kill the guy, use the camera to take a pic of him. We need to send proof of his death to our client" "Understood." The two talked on their way to an armored black van with very tinted windows. Along with a few soldiers in the back, just in case.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Y/N AND SNAKE get out of the car and make their way behind some of the neighboring trees around the warehouse; this location was practically in the middle of a forest."You remember the plan, Y/N?" "Yes, sir." "Alright, I'll tell the rest of the guys to get out the van and watch the perimeter. Go on, if you're ready. I'll find a way up." The two talked to eachother before Y/N went off, ready to do his part. He approached the building peeked through the first floor window, playing out the situation in his head.

"4 people sitting next to eachother at that table on the left, it looks like they're "testing" their product. There's 2 more at the table on the other side, those guys are packing the product in a box. I'll go for the guys on the right first, since they look more sober than the other 4. Then, I'll throw the smoke in the middle of the room and come back here. Watch the smoke clear and see how the 4 guys react. Depending on how they react, I'll use the second smoke if I need to. Sounds like a decent plan, I guess." Y/N thought to himself.

"Hey, how's the wife and kids?" One of the two guys asked the other one. "Shit, that bitch left me, now I have to pay child support. Which is why I'm doing this shitty job in the first place. I kinda wish I was upstairs, then I could have a chance at getting some play." "Aw, that sucks man. Hey, you wanna watch the game on Sunday? I'll buy some nach-" Mid convo, the area suddenly fills with smoke, obscuring everyone's vision. "The hell is going o-" In what seems like half a second, the sound of the man choking on his own blood interrupts his remarks.

"What the hell was that! Who's the-" When the second man feels a tremendous pain in his gut, his sentence is cut off. He feels it and realizes it's half a blade poking out his stomach before getting kicked in the back and dying on the floor.

Y/N retreats to where he was at first, waiting for the smoke to clear. After a minute or so, the smoke finally clears and he can hear some talking from the corner where the 4 people are at. "Holy shit. What was that smoke abou-" He cut himself off when he sees the 2 dead bodies on the other side of the room. "Shit! What the fuck happened? Kenny! You go investigate." "Hell no! I'm not doing that shi-" "Just go!" "Fine! Let me grab my gun, at least."  The two men exchanged a few words, one of whom we now know is named Kenny.

"Idiots." Y/N thought in his head. He was thirsty for more killing and shot Kenny in the head. Now, everyone else in the room was aware of his presence, he rushed out and stabbed the man closest to him. Everyone else was surprised to see someone half their stature stab this guy through the chest. The henchmen were still stunned and were just waiting to see what he did next. When Y/N saw the second guy, he had an idea.

Thankfully, the man he just stabbed had a knife in his pocket. He took the knife out and threw it at the second guy, hitting him right in the head. Next, Y/N let go of the dead man in his arm and threw him on the ground, he dashed as fast as he could to the third guy, stabbing him right in the heart. The last guy right next to him was about to shoot. However, before he could get a shot off, Y/N redirected the gun and stabbed him in the chest.

(SIMILAR TO THIS, JUST WITHOUT THE JUMPING.)

Beatifully fought. His bloodlust was somewhat satisfied and he was ready to head to the stairwell, in hopes of meeting back with Snake. He went out the door, and was now in the stairwell. However, Snake was not there. The boy decided to put his ear on the door of the second floor and it sounded like there was... music playing? There was music and what sounded like talking. A lot of talking.

There were clearly people still in there, which begs the question: where the hell is Snake? Y/N was deciding on opening the door and killing whoever was inside because, they could've killed Snake. Definitely not because he wants to kill. He slowly opens the door, just enough so he could peak through and there were a ton of people dancing and drinking, as well as half naked ladies dancing on poles. It was pretty much a strip club, there was even a stage where the ladies were dancing on. However, Snake wasn't anywhere to be found. He closed the door and unfortunately, it caught the attention of a few people.

"Hey! Who's there!" yelled one of the two guards. Y/N heard this and waited until they opened the door. When the door swung open, Y/N stabbed the man right through the heart with his sword. The second guy saw this and pulled out his handgun, firing a few rounds but missing all of them. Although, it caught the attention of mostly everyone in the room. The door slammed shut and he could hear rustling on the other side of it.

Once he approached the door, he opened it as fast as he could, trying to see if his trick would work. Unfortunately it didn't, from the top of the stairs that led to the third floor, Y/N was standing there..menacingly.

When Y/N leaped off the top step and landed on the poor man, he nearly shit himself. In the process, he was stabbed through the chest. Y/N went through the door and had all eyes on him. His instincts kicked in and he hid behind some boxes, dodging a shot from some lackey. Many of the women began screaming and running. The place's only sober guards stepped up to stop Y/N.

Y/N peered out for a split second before shooting the man in the head; there was a bar to his right. He shot the bartender in the chest and ran behind the bar for cover. Fortunately, there was a rifle behind the bar, like in most bars nowadays. Y/N took it and checked for ammo. Unfortunately, there were only 2 shots left. The boy looked in the reflection of the bottles on the shelf in front of him, noting there were 4 guys surrounding him. He chose to go for the guy on the middle left. As a result, he hurled the gun over the bar and fired a single shot into the man's chest.

After that, he went down on one knee, spun around, and shot the man on the far right in the head, killing him. He leaped over the bar and jumped toward the dude on the far left, stabbing him in the stomach. He quickly used the man as a meat-shield to protect himself from the last guy. The last guy fired a few shots into Y/N's makeshift shield, surprisingly protecting him.

Y/N proceeded to rush the last guy with his "shield," and it worked well. The last guy stumbled back a bit and tripped on a table, Y/N dropped his meat-shield and slit the last guys throat. Drenched in blood, he looked around to see if anyone else wanted to fight, but the dancers and the guys who were too drunk to even stand up were the only ones left. He examined the room once again in the hopes of finding Snake, but he was nowhere to be seen. As a result, he set out on his mission to complete it, thinking he would just tell the team Snake was missing. Simple as that.

"Now, for our main guy." Y/N thought in his head. He ascended to the third floor after passing the two bodies in the stairway. He walked up to the door and instantly kicked it down. It appeared to be empty as soon as he walked in, but Y/N heard yelling that sounded like a war cry. When he turned back, the drug lord lunged at him with a knife in his hand. But, because this man was visibly wasted, Y/N quickly disarmed him and hit him in the gut.

"No! I surrende-" were the man's last words as Y/N quickly put a bullet in his head. "Too damn easy." Y/N thought as he let out an exhausted sigh. He took out his camera and took a picture of the dead man, clearly for proof to send to his client.

He exited the building via the broken door and a flight of stairs before returning to the first-floor door where he had entered. He came across the first bodies he killed as he made his way through the entrance. He then proceeded out the front door and into the trees till he came across the van they he had arrived in.

He opened the back door and sure enough, Snake was waiting there. "Hey kiddo. You get the job done? You sure look like you did." Snake said, referring to him being covered in blood, "Yes, I did. They could barely even walk straight. But, where the hell were you?" Y/N asked with a raised eyebrow, "Congrats on your first solo mission. I must say, I'm quite surprised." Snake replied while patting Y/N on the back. "Now, give me the camera so I can print out the picture later."

Y/N took the camera out from his pocket and handed it to Snake. The camera was the best for its time, it was a Nikon NC2000 AP. (This may or may not be true, I just googled "best camera 1994" and it was the first one.)

"Let's go back to HQ. You'll be on another mission tomorrow, this time with the rest of your unit. Remember, you're a captain now. Remember your responsibilities as one. Another thing, After your experiment with the physician a few weeks ago, he asked me to bring you back a few days before we left for Liberia. We are leaving at the end of the week, as you are aware. So I'll take you there again in two days." Snake informed the boy.

"You feeling alright? Y'know, after the first experiment. Tell me about it, what was it like? How do you feel now?" Snake questioned, resting his arm on the boy's shoulder. "Now, I've never felt better. I'm a tenth of the fighter I was three weeks ago. Flashes of the footage the physician showed me poured through my mind as I sat in that chair during the experiment. They were, as I said before, flashes. Very quick, and it hurt. A lot. But, when I passed out they were much slower, like real time. Each flash was a different scenario, but I was the killer in each one and had to kill in different ways. I'd use a blade sometimes, and a gun other times. I was in my mind for what felt like days, killing. Over and over." Snake was listening carefully as Y/N responded.

"Snake, have you ever enjoyed killing someone?" Y/N questioned, genuinely interested. He was curious to see if others felt the same way he did. "I can't say I have. Why? Do you?" Snake questioned, "A little bit." Y/N replied with his slightly tilting his head down. "It's nothing to be afraid of, Y/N. You're still young, it'll go away with time." Snake replied, knowing full well he was lying.

Snake is ready to take full advantage of the boy, "His ruthlessness is unrivaled. This mindset is ideal for the impending war." Snake thought to himself.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

2 DAYS LATER

Y/N IS WALKING alongside Snake as they make their way to the physician. Y/N is dressed in his usual black suit, minus the weapons, as he was the previous time. As they approach the door of the Doctor's office, they say nothing. The door swings open a few seconds after Snake knocks, revealing the physician.

"Ah, nice to see you, Snake." The two shook hands,  "Y/N, how have you been? Feeling stronger? A better fighter?" The physician questioned as he made his way to his desk, where he had an upgraded serum ready. Y/N didn't say anything, he just sent him a nod. "Great, have a seat." As he took a seat, Snake put the restraints around his arms and legs.

"It'll be the same as before. So don't be concerned. The pain only lasted for a short time, right?" The physician tried to reassure the boy, but it didn't work at all. "Alright, get the TV ready, please." Snake complied and turned on the TV, then proceeding to push the cart the TV was on closer to Y/N.

The Physician unexpectedly pricked Y/N in the neck, causing him to groan slightly in pain.
His head immediately began to pulsate. He closed his eyes and clenched his jaw as tightly as he could to keep from screaming. Meanwhile, the Physician inserted a new tape labeled "Vol.2."

"Will it be the same as last time? Nothing weird better happen, we leave in 2 days." Snake made a threat to the man in front of him. "I assure you that this is secure. It will function flawlessly. That tape contains 300 more clips of footage than the previous one. That is, he will be even better when he awakens. Return him to his room and allow him to wake up on his own. He'll be up and about by tomorrow. I guarantee it." The physician assured Snake.

"Tch, you better fuckin' promise." Snake replied as he began taking off Y/N's restraints. Y/N slumped over after the restraints were removed, but Snake caught him and lifted him off the ground. He carried him out of the office and back to his room, where he was placed on his bed.

Y/N was going through all of the new scenarios that each flash showed, just like the last time. He was on a killing spree, mowing down every opponent without breaking a sweat, slicing and shooting any foe in his path. Most of all, he was enjoying it..

——————————————————————————————————————————————

LIBERIA

4 DAYS LATER

LIBERIA. Back where it all commenced. It even looks identical as the last time the unit was there. Pluvial and dark. The moon shone the same exact way as it did the last time. It was like re-living that day. The only distinction being, they're here to fight.

The captain of the unit is Y/N, under the code-name "Raiden" and Snake is the commander, giving orders to the kids. The Unit came in via helicopter, far from the battlefield. Snake's first order was to clear out a building and utilize it as a hideout, which the Unit performed.

There was so much going on: aircraft flying overhead, explosions everywhere, shooting all around, and many dead bodies. The unit moved to the center of the battlefield and entered a two-story building. The Unit fired at everyone on the other side from the building's crumbling walls.

(THE BROKEN BUILDING ON THE FAR RIGHT IN THIS GIF ↓↓)

They pressed on after their enemies were killed. They demolished buildings and cleared roadways. Every location they left was littered with bodies, many of which had been shot or stabbed. Y/N was doing a beautiful job as captain. Giving excellent commands to his troops and, on occasion, clearing out entire units in seconds.

They'd have to adjust to this way of life. At only a decade old, these mere children have to kill hundreds of people a day. How long will it last? Who knows.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

LIBERIA

6 MONTHS LATER

It's been 6 months since the unit first appeared on the battlefield. Since then, every day has been the same. Killing, switching locations and then taking the occasional rest before going back to fighting. Who knows how long it's been since they last got a good 8 hour sleep.

There will undoubtedly be casualties in a battle. Despite the fact that less than half of the unit had been killed, they fought bravely till their end. In the past months, the unit has made quite the name for themselves. Y/N was given the name "Ripper, Y/N The Ripper."

He was given the nickname due to his incredibly high kill rate compared to other boys his age. Another reason for his "Ripper" moniker was his ability with a bladed weapon, as well as his ruthlessness in dispatching enemies with them. The unit was unremarkable; they were just known as the Devils. I suppose it's because they were trained by the "Army of the Devil."

They sure as hell lived up to their name though. They were killing hundreds of people every day, and their name was known throughout Liberia. With only a mere mention of their name, their opponents were terrified.

"Raiden, clear the structure on your left. Be fast. Everyone else, watch the exits for anyone escaping. Once clear, use that building for rest. No more than an hour." Snake ordered through comms.

Y/N kicked the door down and attacked the first person he saw. He sprinted at him and slashed across the man's chest with his sword, staggering him back, before shooting him in the head. "Th- That speed. Fuck! It's the Ripper! Run!" The group's apparent leader gave the command.

"B-but, this is our spot, sir! We can't give it up!" One of the leaders men said. "There won't be anything to give up if we stay! Come the fuck on! Let's go! The rest of their unit might be here!" The leader yelled, visibly on the edge of shitting himself.

Y/N shot the leader and his troop conversing right before they could leave. The rest of their troops were gunned down by the Devils.

"Great work." Snake remarked through comms. "Hopefully it'll be over soon." He thought to himself.

A FEW WEEKS LATER

"Hey, Y/N. Happy Birthday, kiddo. I got a surprise for you. Meet me in the building straight ahead. Bring the rest of the unit." Snake said through comms. Even though they were in the middle of a war, Snake thought a little gift wouldn't do any harm.

Y/N and his unit cleared the building Snake was talking about, making sure the com wasn't faked. Sure enough, it wasn't. There Snake was, standing in front of 10 Liberian Terrorists. On their knees, tied up, with bags over their head. It clicked in Y/N's mind that their lives were his birthday gift. Each one, for each year.

"Happy Birthday, Raiden. Go ahead, have fun." Snake said nothing further before tossing Y/N an axe and commanding the rest of the Unit to follow him through out the door. Even from outside the small building, many loud screams were heard. After the screaming was over, Y/N walked out, with Snake and his unit behind him. Blood all over his face as he wiped some off his lips.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

LIBERIA

1 YEAR LATER

1 year and 6 months of murder. Everyday. This would've taken a toll on anyone, but not these kids. Somehow, this war wasn't over.

(Alright, imma be honest. This is a mess. I fr don't know how the fuck Snake was able to do all this shit and the war wasn't over. I'm going off of the wiki, and it says that they were fighting since 1989, i just made Y/N younger. This shit doesn't make sense. Since i'm here, the reason Snake was in Liberia in the first place is because, The Patriots, wanted him to be the exact copy of  "Big Boss." The Patriots are a group, that secretly control the United States. Big Boss did the same shit Snake is doing, they're trying to make them do the same exact thing. The explanation on who Big Boss is, is in the last chapter. Under Snake's card thing i made or whatever. I kinda just wanted to say this cus the story is confusing and it took me multiple reads of each page to understand it. So, yeah sorry. And to be honest i'm lazy as shit rn so the writing isn't gonna be that good but aye. fuck it.)

RANT DONE

The same thing, over and over again. Although, the killing has slowed down a bit. It seemed like it was finally coming to a close. What was rest of the unit were finally able to get a decent nights sleep. It sure as hell was better than the 2 hours they got.

"Wake up. 2 of you, scout the place. In a couple hours, switch shifts." Snake said through comms. They're currently cooped up in a small apartment. The plan is, to have 2 people scout the place and make sure it's safe. In a couple of hours, they switch with the people sleeping. And over and over until everyone is ready.

Y/N unfortunately, was still excited. Every single day, he enjoyed. There wasn't a single time where he killed someone and didn't enjoy it. To be honest, he was scared of himself. He didn't like enjoying killing but he did. And there was nothing he could do about it.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

LIBERIA

6 MONTHS LATER

Finally. The war had come to an end. It's been two years of battle, and it's now over. It came to an end when Nigerian officials compelled the major warring factions to sign the Abuja Accord, which required them to disarm and demobilize by 1996 and submit to UN-supervised elections.

Now, what next?

BACK IN THE U.S.

1 WEEK LATER

"Sir, our job is complete. The kids, what do we do with them now?" Asked a soldier, part of the army. "We put them in a relief center. But first, let me talk to my boy." Snake replied. "Yes, sir."
Before heading off to notify the cooks, the soldier said. (Yes, this shit is cannon. He literally puts a super soldier in a relief center.)

A few minutes or so later, Y/N approaches Snake, who is sitting at his desk. "You called, sir." Y/N stated. "Yes, I did. Come, have a seat." Snake replied before scooting out a chair next to him. "As you know, the war is over. So, I was planning on putting you and your comrades in a relief center. I know, a super soldier with thousands of kills in a relief center doesn't sound right. But, give it a shot." Snake told the boy.

"Alright, it doesn't sound too bad. I'll try it." Y/N replied. He had a gun put in his hand at an early age. Hell, he's never even had a chance at a normal life. So, it's something new that he didn't mind trying. "Thank you, Snake. For this opportunity. I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for you." Before being knocked out, Y/N spoke one last thing to Snake. Snake only responded with a faint smirk.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

THE 12 YEAR old Y/N, along with whoever was left in the unit are being held in a relief center. At first, it was strange. Weird to get used to, it was almost like they were babying the kids. None of the them liked it, but they assumed it would get better over time.

"Oh, sweetie. You're Y/N, right?" A woman questioned the boy as he was sitting on a bench in one of the corners. The relief center occupied a gym, there was little to no privacy at all in this room. "Yes, that's my name. Do you need something?" Y/N questioned, "No we're just doing a headcount for all the new comers. I'm Amy, it's nice to meet you, Y/N." The woman, now known as Amy greeted Y/N. She was quite pretty, dirty blonde hair and beautiful gray eyes.

However, she sported a coat with a logo on the chest pocket. The pocket said, PATRIOT on it. "Patriot... Where have I seen that before?" Y/N thought to himself. "Oh, in a few minutes, I'll give you a tour of the place." Y/N was informed by Amy. He was a little skeptical at first, but hey, guess he just has to get used to it.

"Actually, let's start now. Can you stand up, please?" Amy asked Y/N. Y/N obeyed and stood up next to her. "From here, you can pretty much see everything. The places where people sleep, and such is all in the middle of this gymnasium. If you ever need to use the bathroom, it is right this way. Follow me please." Amy informed Y/N.

They walked through a door, which led to a hallway that went left and right. However, the left hall was covered by a door. They went right and stopped in front of another door. Amy swung the door open and it revealed a public bathroom. The room was pretty big. It was split into 3 parts. On the far left, were the showers, there were separate showers with curtains for privacy reasons. The one in the middle looked to have a bunch of lockers and the last part has all the stalls and urinals.

"Take a look around, we make sure to clean it everyday. If there's any mess, let us know." Amy said to Y/N, with a smile. Y/N tried his best to act normal, and not like a weirdo. To be honest, he really didn't want to check out this bathroom. There's something weird about it but, it is what it is. So, he ended up checking it out.

He got a good look of the bathroom and it seemed all clean. The shower area was clean, and so were the toilets. However, before he could turn around, the door slammed shut. Y/N tried to dropkick the door down. However, to his surprise, it didn't budge.

The room suddenly fills with smoke. He begins to feel exhausted after only a few seconds. He utilizes a nearby wall to prop himself up for as long as he can. He is on the edge of passing out as he slides down the wall.

"I'm sorry it had to be this way... Ripper." A loud speaker located someplace in the bathroom blared the voice of what sounded like Amy.

/////PATRIOTS\\\\\

The Patriots, originally known as Cipher, also known as the La-li-lu-le-lo (らりるれろ), were a secret organization that, by the early 1990s, covertly controlled the United States of America. The group was formed to fulfill the ideal of a unified world that was envisioned by the legendary soldier The Boss and later sought to control the entire world to ensure this.

Cipher was originally formed in 1970 as the reorganized version of the American Philosophers, using funds contained within the Philosophers' Legacy. The Legacy was stolen from the DCI at the climax of Gene's rebellion by the Philosophers' former agent Ocelot (under Zero's orders). Before killing the DCI, Ocelot proclaimed that [he and Zero] were going to "end [the Philosophers], take back what [the DCI] stole from [him and Zero], and carry on the spirit of the true patriot", explaining that it was, "all part of our plan to make the world [The Boss] envisioned a reality." After Ocelot's intense speech, he executed the DCI in a way that looked like a suicide. Zero later contacted Ocelot and invited him to form part of his new organization. Ocelot agreed under the condition that Big Boss (Naked Snake) joined the organization as well.

Zero recruited Big Boss and Ocelot, along with two FOX comrades (Sigint and Para-Medic) and former Chinese Philosophers' agent EVA. In essence, the six founding members were all directly influenced by The Boss, and all were directly involved in Operation Snake Eater either as field operatives or mission support. The group then began plans to reunite the world by governing it from behind the scenes. Zero used his influence to turn Big Boss into a idol-like figure for the world to follow, though Big Boss grew to resent this puppet-like role.

The Most Powerful Organization in the World
