The camera then changes Views to Venom Snake. He's slowly waking up and his vision is blurry and he looks around. The sound of a heart monitor is heard. After a few seconds a nurse walks into the room with a cart. She comes over to Snake and turns down the volume on the radio and changes Snake's IV. Another nurse comes in and goes to the patient next to Snake. The nurse finishes changing Snake's IV and she walks away.

The other nurse comes over and tightys up some flowers on a table near Snake's bed. She starts to walk away but Snake groans and she stops and looks at him. Then she walks over and checks on Snake.

Nurse:*In another language* "Sir?" *She sees that Snake's awake and she runs out of the room, knocking the radio over, yelling for the doctor.*

Snake falls back to sleep. The screen turns black. The sounds of buttons being pressed and a phone ringing is heard. Someone picks up the phone.

Woman:"V has come to."

The woman hangs up the phone and the phrase travels through the cyber world then the sound of an Idroid opening is heard.

Prologue
AWAKENING

Snake start to fully wake up.

Doctor:"Can you hear me? Are you having difficulty speaking? Can you move your head? Just nod, if you can hear me."

Snake slowly nods.

Doctor:*Points up.* "Look up, please."

Snake slowly looks up then he looks back to the doctor.

Doctor:"Very good. How do you feel now? Can you speak?"

Snake tries to speak but only air comes out.

Doctor:"What is your name? When were you born? Can you recall?"

A minute later.

Doctor:"Good now then.... Please try to relax. There is plenty of time. I need to tell you something. Please listen, and try not to panic." *He walks around the bed as he talks.* "You've been in a coma for... quite some time. Yes yes, I know. You'd like to know how long..." *He gets to the other side of the bed.* "I'm afraid it's been... nine years."

The heart monitor start to beep faster and faster as Snake starts to panic.

Doctor:*Runs over to Snake.*"Dammit!"

The doctor tries to calm Snake down.

Doctor:"Nurse!" *The Nurse runs over with a syringe.* "Calm down!"*The Nurse injects Snake with the syringe.* "Try not to panic!"

The heart monitor starts to slow down as Snake starts to pass out.

Doctor:"You'll be alright. There now. Just rest." *Snake passes out.*

1 week after awakening

Snake start to wake up. A radio is playing the news.

Nurse:"How do you feel?"

Snake looks to her as she changes his IV drip. The doctor walks into the room with a folder and he walks to Snake's side.

Doctor:"It's been one week since you came to. Now, let's try getting you out of that bed." *He looks to the nurse.* "Nurse."

The Nurse and Doctor start to sit Snake up.

Doctor:"Don't worry. You've lost some strength, but we've been maintaining your muscle mass through massages. CPM therapy, and EMS." *They get Snake up.* "Now, I need to explain something to you, but you musn't be alarmed."

The doctor grabs the file and he turns the radio off.

Doctor:"Nine years ago, you were injured -" *He pulls an X-Ray out and puts it on a projector at the foot of Snake's bed.*

The X-Ray shows Snakes chest and there are a bunch of little things in it.

Doctor:"In an explosion. Upon examination, we discovered 100 and 8 foreign bodies embedded within you. In addition to shrapnel, we also found fragments of human bone, and human teeth. Most of it was removed, but...some of the fragments still remain...They are located near your heart." *He puts a hand over his heart.* "And in your skull." *He points to his head.*

The doctor grabs another file and puts it on the projector.

Doctor:"Look at this."

The X-Ray shows a bunch of small things them on big on on the right side of his head.

Doctor:*Points to the X-Ray.* "The fragments are lodged deep within your cerebral cortex. We couldn't give you an MRI - the metal, you see. But even if we were to extract it, you would most likely suffer a brain hemorrhage. Mental and physical impairment are... unavoidable, however your current status is not life threatening. One more thing.

The doctor pulls out another X-Ray.

Doctor:"This X-ray is of your upper body."

He puts the X-ray on the projector and it shows the Snake is missing his left arm.

Doctor:"You'd better look now."*The heart monitor beeps a little faster.* "Best to understand your situation sooner than later. I know it's difficult but please look down." *Snake looks down to his right hand and he closes his fist.* "It's best to see with your own eyes. Be brave."

Snake then looks to his left and and it's gone right below the elbow and he starts to panic and the monitor starts to beep faster. The doctor runs to Snake's side and the Nurse prepares the syringe.

Doctor:"Try to calm down. Calm down. Please calm down. it's going to be okay." *The Nurse injects Snake with the syringe.* "Better, yes, yes? calm down." *Snake slowly starts to calm down and the heart monitors slows down.*"Yes. Better...yes..." *Snake passes out.*

2 weeks after awakening

Snake wakes up and sees the doctor and nurse arguing and after a few moments the nurse walks out of the room and the doctor walks up to him.

Doctor:"it's true, there are those who wish you would have never woken up. You should be dead. But you're not. The wheels are in motion. Your enemies are everywhere. We must alter your appearance immediately. Otherwise, I fear you won't leave this place alive. It's a wide open world out there, so there's something we need to take care of first."

The doctor goes to the side and grabs a mirror and shows Snake his face. The left side of his head is covered in bandages. He has long hair, a mustache and a beard. There are few scars on his face. A long one on over right eye, a big one on his nose. And one on his lip. A few smaller ones on his right cheek.

Doctor:"I'm going to change your appearance - we have no other choice. What you look like, however..."

The doctor puts down the mirror and Snake swears he sees a different face then his own for a few seconds before the doctor put the mirror down.The nurse walks in with a cart.

Doctor:"Very good. Now, let's remove these bandages." *The doctor takes the bandages off of Snake.* "Your face has healed nicely. To tell you the truth, these bandages were more for your protection - to hide you from those who want you dead. As of today your name is Ahab."

A woman sneaks behind the Nurse and puts a wire over her neck and starts to choke the Nurse out and drags her around the curtain. Snake starts to panic a little.

Doctor:"Forget everything. Your name, your past."

The doctor grabs two photos, the same but one is more zoomed in, and shows Snake. In the Photo there is Morpho, Miller, Snake, Wolf and the combat medic. Wolf is leaning on Snake ,with an arm around his shoulder and she has a big smile on her face and she is giving the camera a Peace Symbol with her other hand.

After a few seconds the doctor puts the photos down and grabs the mirror again. The Woman from before walks out from the curtain.

Doctor:*Shows Snake his face.* "This is you - as you've lived until this day."

Snake's left eye is cloudy white.

Doctor:"Tomorrow, it becomes your phantom."

The woman puts the wire over the doctor's neck and starts to choke him out and Snake is panicking too. The doctor drops the mirror and it shatters on the floor and the doctor pulls out a pistol and tries to hand it to Snake, but the Woman pulls back and the gin is now out of Snake's reach. The doctor drops the gun and kicks Snake off the bed.

Snake looks under the bed and sees the feet of the woman and the doctor and after a few seconds a sicking crack is heard and the doctor falls on his knees then falls to his side dead. The woman walks to the front of the bed. An explosion goes off and the building shakes. The woman turns on her radio and speaks into it.

Woman:"Not yet. The patient in the next bed saw my face..." *Snake looks in front of him and sees the gun and he reaches out to it.* "Of course." *Snake can't reach the gun.* "Consider it done."

The woman turns of her radio and pulls out a knife and turns to Snake and walks to him. Snake reaches out for the gun and the woman stops and bends down and picks it up. She pulls the slide back, loading it and she aims it down at Snake's face.

But before she can pull the trigger the patient from the next bed over jumps on her from behind. She tries to get him off her, but while doing so she knocks over a cart and falls to the floor and the man grabs her again and drags her away from Snake. She struggles to get him off and she throws the man off her and he lands next to Snake.

The woman pulls her knife back out gets in a CQC stance and walks to the man. The bandaged man throws metal containers at her and he misses a few but the one that hit her she shrugs off. The man looks around and finds a bottle and throws it at her. The bottle hits her shattering, covering her in some liquid. The woman then flips her knife and she grabs the blade and throws it at the bandaged man and it embeds itself into his right shoulder.

The man grabs his shoulder in pain and the woman walks over to Snake and she grabs him and lifts him up and she starts to choke him. Snake's vision starts to get blurry and she puts him on the bed and Snakes vision goes dark. The woman starts to hum.

 

 

The sound of a lighter flicking on and something being lit on fire is heard and the sound of throwing then the lighting of fire and the sounds of female screams are heard. Snake's vision returns and he sees the woman on fire. She freaking out and she goes over to the window and falls onto the ground.

The woman starts to crawl at Snake and the bandaged man pulls the knife out of his shoulder and throws it at her, but she bats it away. She slowly stands up and the man grabs another bottle and throws it at her. The bottle breaks and she is now more on fire and is screaming loudly and she freaks out and crashes out the window.

The Bandage man stands up and Snake looks at his hook hand.

Bandaged Man:"Okay, Ahab, time to go."

Snake looks over to him and the man walks away from the window and over to Snake, while holding his shoulder.

Snake:"What happened to the woman?"

The man crouches down to Snake.

Bandage Man:"The woman? I- we- gave her a light, She took the short way down."

Snake:"Who are you...?"

Bandaged man:"Who am I? You're talking to yourself." *He points at Snake.* "Been watching over you for nine years, and call me Ishmael."

Snake:"What the hell is going on?!"

Ishmael:"Well, good news: You're in the land of the living. Bad News? While world wants you dead." *An explosion rocks the building.*

Ishmael grabs Snake.

Ishmael:"On your feet, soldier - the whole place is coming down!" *Sits Snake up.* "Need a little pick-me-up?" *Ishmael grabs a syringe.* "Here..." *He injects Snake in the shoulder.* "Nothing like a little digoxin to get you back in the game."

He picks Snake up, but Snake falls to the ground and Ishmael starts to move forward.

Ishmael:"C'mon."

The camera moves to show Snake laying on the floor. Ishmael is waiting for Snake at the doorway.

Ishmael:"Hold up. Let's fix this."

Ishmael grabs his arm and pops it back in and Snake yells in pain.

Ishmael:"Next time do it yourself. It's always good to try and mend your injuries while hiding from the enemy."

Snake moves his right arm up and down and Ishmael points to a section of the building.

Ishmael:"Over there."

A helicopter flies over and shoulders start to repel down from it. Ishmael then looks down the hall and a smoke grenade rolls down the hall, filling the entire hallway with smoke. A few lights come around the corner down the hall. Ishmael walks to a nearby door.

Ishmael:"Let's go."

Ishmael:"Run!"

Snake starts to run down the hall away from where the soldier is coming. Snake makes it through the door to the stairs and Ishmael closes the door. There is another patient there too. Ishmael then knocks a locker over, that was next to the door, over. Blocking the door.

Ishmael:"Shit! It's ugly down there. Turn back."

Snake and Ishmael turn back and see a gate with a bunch of people on the other side, a doctor opens the gate for them.

Doctor:"C'mon."

They both head through the gate and Snake closes it. Ishmael is making his way to the front.

Patient:"What happening out here?"

Nurse:"It's all right we'll be okay."

Snake starts to make his way to the front. A nurse pushes him and Snake stops. Then the sound of footsteps are heard and lights shine from down the hallway.

March 11th, 1984 03:07

Snake comes to and notices that Ishmael is gone and Snake unbuckles himself and he lands on the roof of the ambulance and he crawls out of the ambulance. When he gets out he sees a helicopter flying towards him. But suddenly the boy with the mask appears and looks down at Snake. Then he looks to the helicopter and points at it. Suddenly a whale on fire comes and swallows the helicopter. Then Snake looks up and sees the man on fire flying on a flaming unicorn.

Snake stands up and start to run away but someone on a horses ride in front of him.

Ocelot:"Get on!" *Puts a hand out to Snake.* "I'm on your side!"

Snake is hesitant.

Ocelot:"Hurry!"

Snake looks back and sees the man on fire really close to them.

Ocelot:"Hurry!"

Snake grabs his hand and gets on the horse.

Ocelot:"Hang on!"

Ocelot snaps the reigns and the horse rears and starts running away. The man on fire chases them and Ocelot hands Snake a S1000 shotgun.

Ocelot:"Use this! Watch our backs. Shoot him!"

Snake shoots the man on fire and the man on fire prepares to launch an attack at them.

Ocelot:"Fire just as he's about to attack!"

Snake shoots the man on fire right before he attack stopping him from attacking them.

After a while of running from the man on fire they get to the harbor and it starts to rain. They ride over a bridge but lighting strikes the bridge and they fall down and off the bridge and down into the water. Snake crawls out of the water.

----

Snake looks up to see the boy in the mask standing in front of him and the boy looks to the bridge and so does Snake. The man on fire is looking at him. Ocelot comes over and helps him up.

Ocelot:"Come on."

The man on fire disappears. Ocelot helps Snake walk all the way back to the horse. They look back towards the hospital and see nothing but flames. Ocelot lets go of Snake.

Ocelot:"The name's Ocelot. Big Boss. You know who I am. A certain man gave me a job to do, Three, actually." *He points to Snake.* "The first was to get you out of the hospital. The second... was to rescue the man himself. And the third is to find our missing friend.

Ocelot gets on his horse.

Ocelot:"You remember? Your partner and your apprentice, nine years ago. Kazuhira Miller and The Major. Nine years back, your private army came under attack by Cipher. You were considered dead. Up until today, that is. When Cipher found you. And it's not just them. The whole world wants you dead. People think that The Major is dead. But I know she's too stubborn to die, without your order to do so first."

Snake looks back at the bruning hospital.

Ocelot:"You'll have to join up with Miller. Build that private army of yours one more time. Then find our missing Wolf. It's your only chance." *He holds a hand out to Snake.*

Snake walks over to Ocelot and he grabs his hand he Ocelot helps Snake onto the horse.

Ocelot:"First, we need to save Miller. he's in Afghanistan."

Snake:"Afghanistan?"

Ocelot snaps the reigns to the horse and the horse rears and start to run.

Ocelot:"What? Can't keep up with world affairs in a coma? Fours years ago the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. The Muslims are fighting back, with Western support. Miller was training Mujahideen rebels when he was captured by the Soviets. The Reds' 4oth Army. Troop strength somewhere around 100,000. The squad holding Miller set off near the Pakistan border yesterday. In three days they'll reach the Soviet garrison. He'll be interrogated for a few more days, then it's off to a lager...Or left to rot in a ditch on Afghan soil. I give him two weeks... The job didn't mean anything to Miller. He only took it on to keep you safe and look for Major."

Snake:"What about Wolf?"

Ocelot:"Well after the attack nine years ago. She was pissed beyond belief, she heard rumors that Cipher was in Vietnam. So she took the 30 soldiers she had with ehr and went their. But it was also around the time when Saigon fell. So she was in complete enemy territory. But her and her men managed to build a base and fight off anyone that attacked them. For three years she would find and attack Soviet bases in Vietnam.

Ocelot:"But after one mission, she and her men were never heard from again. We managed to sneak into Vietnam and find their base... Well what was left of it. The whole place was burned to the ground, bullets and blood everywhere. But there were no bodies found. It was really strange. The world thinks she's dead, But Miller and I know that's not true. She won't go down like that. She's a fighter, she wouldn't die until she could see you again.

Ocelot:"So Miller and I have been trying to find anything about her for 6 years. But we haven't found a single thing. It's almost like she was wiped off the face of the earth. She's either really good at hiding or someone is really good at hiding her."

Ocelot stops the horse and they look out to the lake and see a big ship.
