Dallas scoffed at Madnar's offhand mention of Mantis' death. That Mantis fellow never really struck me as that strong to begin with. His death is obviously not a setback in Mr. Madnar's eyes, at least.

The German nodded to Foxfire. "Let us proudly follow Mr. Madnar into the future his ultimate power will create for the world."

Very poetic of me, he noted. I guess I can actually think pretty deeply when Doug and Betsy aren't whispering in my ears.

"That's what this is, isn't it?... a new world... one without political backstabing or Adam Smith screwing people over... A world that might actually be fun to live in..." She said quietly.

A whole new world, replacing the old.

"Exactly! And just think of it: we're a part of the power that will forge that new world. Noone can stop us from accomplishing our goal."

With that, Dallas strode out of the room after Madnar.

As they walked down the hallways, limp or unconcious Frogs littered the hallways, some rocking back and forth on the floor with their arms around their knees as if traumatised; the others just laying down. All were silent and not interested. "Looks like they took Mantis' death pretty hard. Anyway, Archangel has it's own soldiers."

Boarding a cargo lift, they went down at a brisk pace diagonally, heading to the lower levels. "Think Frogs, except sturdier and with wings. Those are my Avengers. I chose the whole angel theme because contrary to the Sunday school version, angels are God's warriors. They fight wars. I'm not on a holy crusade, but Hell, this world needs a good war to harden it up" explained Madnar.

Dallas grinned again.

"And we have just the power to harden this world! I like the sound of these Avengers already!"

They certainly must be stronger than these weaklings, he thought disdainfully as he glanced at the fallen Frogs. When my commander and squad died, I certainly didn't stop fighting. And that's when Mr. Madnar discovered me...

"With our combined strength, noone can stop us from molding the world!"

After Madnar's speech, Glitch continued trying to reach Jet Steel, and finally got through; the power outage stopped any excess radio signals. It was weak, but they could communicate. "Steel, are you alright? What happened to Jackal? Where are you" he asked the ninja, locating him on the virtual map she had generated.

<><><>

Apollo nodded, smiling at Mantis' death. "Good job, Falcon. The biggest danger of New Zanzibar is now dead, and the Frogs seem to be unresponsive. They should stop hindering you. Now, we need you to get on top of Outer Haven, and blow up the oil tanker that's behind it. Go behind the armoury, and arm yourself big" ordered Apollo, leaning back and allowing himself hope.

Maybe he could pull this off.

Jet Steel walked through the corridors of the ship, surprised to see downed Frogs. It cocked its head as it heard a familiar voice.

"That's not Rex's voice, that's Glitchy!" Well yeah, I wouldn't be asking you about Jackal, would I? I kinda saw what happened too. "Shut UP, Rex!"

"I tried telling you before, Glitchy! I'm pretty sure that Philanthropy man is dead!" The ninja slashed through a wall in anger. "I fucked up, I fought him instead of Madnar, I stabbed him, we both fell. I didn't see what happened to him after that. What do I do now?"

"I told you not to get close to Madnar. You see the kind of dangerous man he is? Although... how the Hell did he get his hands on that blasted doll? I bet he can control corpses too... hmm. Oh right, what you need to do is get on top of Outer Haven. Yes, you'll have to climb, and get outside. You'll be able to have fun, don't worry" commented Glitch, not happy to play around any more.

"I need you to take out an oil tanker."

Jet found a set of stairways and leaped up them towards the surface, passing more disabled Frogs and slashing through debris along the way. "An oil tanker, huh?"

Landing on the top deck of Outer Haven at last, the ninja admired the destruction. "And to think I caused some of it, Rex." That you did, crazy idiot. "Shut UP, Rex!"

"Okay, Glitchy, I reached the surface, now what? And what was that you said about a doll?"

"Got it." said Falcon, who was glad to be done with Mantis and get out of the severely damaged room.

Hopefully, I'll come across the armory on my way, otherwise I'll have to improvise. I get the feeling, I don't have much time to search around

Falcon hurried through the corridors, his helm keeping him appraised of nearby lifesigns. The ones he saw all seemed to be stationary, and thus far had just been FRO Gs, who no longer appeared to be a threat. Falcon kept his Kimber ready in hand just in case though.

Madnar took out a communicator as the lift stopped, and listened to the message being fed. "Really? ...hold your positions, continue fueling Archangel, and keep me updated of the situation" he ordered, closing the device and looking around. "You all go on ahead. Dallas, you know the way. I need to take care of Outer Haven, permanently" explained the leader of New Zanzibar, pointing down a corridor and peeled off.

<><><>

"I could take them out, you know. There's no need for you to take over the controls" mentioned the pilot's voice once Madnar had arrived. "What does it matter? It's been on autopilot most of the time. However, this is personal. I need to vent my anger. Board Archangel, and take the pilot's seat. You will yet prove Him wrong."

Metal Gear Octon's pilot nodded, and walked out. Kio Marv Madnar looked up at the resting monstrosity that was Octon, and smiled.

Dallas nodded. "Very well, Mr. Madnar."

Motioning to Foxfire and the scientists, the German confidently strode towards his objective, utilizing his memory of the ship's structure he had honed since his entry to Outer Haven.

Foxfire moved to comply. This is what needs to be done. Every civilization, every era, every age comes to an end.

We are the extinction. We are the meteor. We are the conquistadors. We are the settlers. We are evolution.

We are armageddon.

"You won't get that chance, I'm afraid" yelled a commanding voice over Outer Haven. From the outside. A huge whirlpool appeared in the water, Metal Gear Octon flying out of it moment's later. A few tidal waves beat the coastline, as the gigantic metal gear floated in the air. Inside, Madnar had the helmet on, the control board lit up in front of him. "Jet Steel, you were a useful pawn, and I must thank you for taking out Jackal. Let me reward you by sending you to the bottom of the ocean!" cried out Madnar, and pressed several buttons.

From on top of Outer Haven, Steel and Falcon looked up to see one of the tentacles spin it's end, focus, and seem to explode. A white laser shot out, cutting through the steel hull of Outer Haven and causing deep grooves in it. "Try and avoid this" added Madnar, firing a cruise missile at them.

Jet sprung around like a frog on a caffeine-high, doing its best to avoid the laser while keeping out of the missile's path. The ninja discharged the weapon it had taken off a Frog at the source of its troubles. Not that that'll do anything, idiot.

"SHUT UP, REX! GLITCHY, HE'S GOT A BIG LASER AND A MISSILE LAUNCHER, WHAT DO I DO?"

Mister Glitch viewed the battle from above via a hacked satellite. "Hmm... if you could find a way to throw your sword, the vibrating steel might be enough to pierce it's armor. Maybe if you could... I have it. Outer Haven is full of stuff on it's top" explained the hacker, looking at a blueprint.

"Use it like a landscape, jumping up and around to get high enough. You're a crazy bastard, so you should act like one. Just get high enough, and launch yourself onto it. That should distract him, while I arrange... something..." he explained.

Madnar spun the tentacles around gleefully, and sprayed oil onto the deck.

"No shortage of excitement it seems." Falcon said to himself. I probably need to drop that thing too! he thought to himself as he hurriedly began making his to the top of Outer Heaven.

Now I just need to figure out how to stop it before I get there.

Good thing you're already jumping around, Jet.

"You said it, Rex!" The ninja glanced at the pooling oil as it jumped about, dodging spurts of oil as it endeavored to reach higher ground.

"Stop jumping around" commented Madnar, using the gatling gun but missing due to Jet's speed. The high powered bullets shredded through Outer Haven, wrecking the inside and passing over some Frogs who were cut down. A whistling noise preceded a projectile that flew from Octon, crashing onto the deck and exploding, the incendiary grenade setting the oil on fire.

Falcon finally managed to make it to the top of Outer Heaven, where it looked like all out war was happening. Well, I'm here, and I'm still not sure how to stop that thing. Maybe something will come to me. Seeing the Octon was currently occupied trying to destroy something, Falcon tried to maneuver himself behind the beast, hoping to see something he could take advantage of.

The laser exploded out again, cutting more parts off Outer Haven and creating less landmass. Below, the water poured in from all sides, filling the lower levels. "Sinking Outer Haven will be the final proof of my ability to drag this world into World War 4" declared Madnar, spinning the tentacles and pressed some buttons. "Now, witness it begin" he exclaimed, sending a signal to the four AI still active in Outer Haven.

Throughout the T Vs in the world, and all modes of visual communication, a signal was blasted outwards, followed by Madnar's face flickering onto the screen with laughter. A great rage bubbled up within those who watched, a small spark of anger that was growing into a bigger flame. "People of America, Russia has just declared war on us" exclaimed Madnar's voice, while in Russia, the same broadcast spoke in Russian. "People of Russia, America has declared war on us."

"Defend yourselves" they said at the same time, every country seeing a different message depending on where they were. In Octon, Madnar grinned as the broadcast continued, sending subliminal messages into the air, and warping people's minds.

<><><>

On Glitch's computer screen, the video played, but no one was there to watch. An empty cup of Pepsi fell on it's side. In the command room, The Pentagon had defences against this, so Apollo shut off the screen and just focused on the battle, as did everyone else. However, the damage was done.

"By this time I sort of... can't see what he had in mind, but what the Hell. I'm having fun" shrugged off Madnar, folding in his arms and spinning violently. With a violent hurl through the air, he punched into Outer Haven, rocking the surface and sending everyone to the ground.

"Damn!" Falcon exclaimed as he went down to his knees from the blow to Outer Heaven. I need to find a way to stop that thing. Perhaps if I can get on it...

Hoping that he still hadn't been spotted, Falcon quickly and as quietly as possible made his way closer to Octon, with the intent of hopping on for a ride.

The shockwave sent Jet skidding into a wall. "Damn it!" You're getting closer, Jet, don't give up now! "Like I'd really quit now, Rex!"

Pushing itself up with its sword's hilt, the ninja once again began jumping towards its goal, now wary of tremors.


Dallas braced himself against a wall, then stood back up again. I hope Mr. Madnar knows what he's doing out there...

The German ceased his pondering to help up Foxfire, then the scientists. "Come now, we're almost there."
