Red: *looking up at the tower* .....has it been getting taller this whole time?

Ocelot: i think so.

Zero: whatever reason, we need to bring it down.

Snake: what if we do?

Liz: there's too many futures to really know right now...

Red: ...well....we're buggered.

*Frostraven's face forms in ice on the side of the spire*

Frostraven: giving up so soon?

Ocelot, liz, Zero and Snake: never.

Red: I'd sooner die.

Frostraven: that's the spirit.

*strange dragons come out of the spire*

Frostraven: behold my perfected warriors. They are prototypes for now, true...but there is really only 1 test left....a field test.

*the dragons hiss*

Frostraven: be rid of them.

*the ice construct crumbles to the ground*

Red: ...15 on 5?

Ocelot: we faced that strange dragon...how hard could it-

Zero: don't say it. Please.

Snake: i've got a bad feeling about this..

Liz: we don't have time for this...

Red: to the sky.

Ocelot, Zero, Snake and liz: what?

Red: to the sky you fools!

*the others begin to fly, one of the dragons looks up at them hissing before a beam of blue fire rips by it*

Red: oh no you don't. You're fight's with me!

*the dragons rush at him all at once*


[tip of the spear]


Frostraven: so. They leave the weakest behind. Figures. *he looks back out at the ice kingdom* he draws near....*he looks down again* .....i need to distract them.

*large chunks of ice form in the air and drop*

Frostraven: that'll do it.


[a 3rd of the way up]


Ocelot: HEADS UP! *he and the others veer off as the ice boulders come hurtling down*

Liz: Red!

Snake: he's short...he'll react in time.

Zero: he better.


[the ground]


Red: *pinned by one of the dragons as it tries to take his helmet off* who called me-*he sees the boulders and kicks the dragon on him into the lowest one causing it to shatter* YEAH! THAT'S THE STUFF RIGHT- *he rolls away as another dragon gets crushed by an ice bolder*-nope! *he begins running around avoiding ice bolders as some of the dragons trying to kill him get hit*

Dragon: PREPARE TO DI-*shoved aside*

Red: *stops when the boulders stop* they are trying to kill me are they?
