The man walked down the immaculate hallway his heavy military service issue boots slamming down onto the red carpet below the soldiers feet. "Snake, listen to me. She didn't betray the United States. No...far from it. She was a hero who died for her country. She carried out her mission knowing full well what was going to happen." Snake reached the oak door leading into the Oval Office of the White House. He opened the door inside was a huge group of men and women including the president of the United States of America, the voice continued "Self-sacrifice...because that was her duty." The crowd of people started clapping instantly. " As Snake moved closer the clapping continued and the voice stopped talking. He finally reached the president and the president reached over to his secretary and carefully grabbed the medal laying safely on the velvet lining. "You are above even The Boss...I hereby award you the title of Big Boss. Snake saluted at the commander and chief, "You are a true patriot." The president outstretched his hand for a firm handshake, Snake's eyes widened when he saw the shadow of Ocelot behind the one way glass window. Flash the paparazzi snapped away. The man in the dark suit came up behind the Secretary of State and muttered into his ear "You know, we could use an infiltration unit like FOX in the army..someone like him to handle our top-secret sneaking missions for us...a man who combines the qualities of a soldier and an agent..." The voice came back as Snake headed out of the room "The Boss' defection was a ruse set up by the U.S government. It was all a big drama staged by Washington so they could get their hands on the Philosophers' Legacy. And The Boss was the star of the show." Snake brushed by his commanding officer Major Zero who had been a vital asset during Operation Snake Eater. "They planned it so that they could get the Legacy that Colonel Volgin inherited...and destroy the Shagohod at the same time. Only a legendary hero like The Boss could have earned Volgin's trust. Finding out where the Philosophers' Legacy was hidden was to be her greatest mission."

"No time for anaesthetic, we need to open her up now" click, click the surgical scissors started eating away the stitched up body of Paz Ortega, she screamed in agony as the medic continued snipping away parts of flesh, finally he had finished and pulled out a medium sized package of Paz's stomach on the back of the package was a peace symbol, "Boss?!", he stitched her back up, she shot up. "Snake, there's another one...!" "It's ok we got it out!" She backed away from him edging towards the opened door of the helicopter, she dived out backwards, "Noooo!" She fell through the air like a bird, boom the helicopter erupted with flames, Snake was knocked backwards, the medics lifeless body slumped on top of him. Blackout.

"Now do you remember, who you are?, what you were meant to do?, I cheated death thanks to you, and thanks to you I've left my mark, you have too, you've written your own history, you're your own man, I'm Big Boss and you are too, no! he's the two of us together, where we are today we built it, this story, this legend it's ours, we can change the world and with it the future, I am you and you are me, carry that with you were ever you go, thank you my friend, from here on out your Big Boss..."
