[ Video ; Action ]

[ Entering Violet City is Old Snake. He's coming in via Route 36, looking tired and a little confused, but well enough. In his arms is a Snubbull wearing a bow on one of its ears. Looking around, the old soldier takes a moment to crouch down and take out his Pokegear, making a quick note. ]

Otacon, Heather, I'm in Violet now. Made it here safe and sound... But there's a weird Pokemon on Route 36. Looks like it really hates water, must not actually be a tree... I tried to catch it, but it got away. I caught a few more Pokemon on the way over here anyway, so that's good I guess.


[pause.]


I guess I should meet up with Raiden and Vulcan Raven. [Stands up slowly.]

Shnub.

Hnn? Shnubble. [Looks like Juliette the Snubbull is feeling sad again, so Snake kneels down again and places her on his knee, giving her head some gentle strokes.]

...Shnuuubbllleeee... [Seemed she liked that, but as soon as Snake stopped, she grabs his hand. 8| WHAT ARE YOU DOING DON'T STOP.] Shnububle!

... Right...

To you.

Resurrecting Outer Heaven was an afterthought. Our original demands were for Big Boss's remains, so that a cure could be found and given to our soldiers.

... [ Sighs, shaking his head. ] If those nukes had launched... Millions of people would have died.

Something that could be prevented by giving us what we needed to save our soldier's lives.

[Glares.] You really think that would have stopped Liquid?

Liquid was not alone in Shadow Moses, Snake.

It had became obvious how little our army's lives mattered to the government. We wanted to break away from that, to restore honor and dignity to soldiers.

We wanted to create a nation where their lives would mean more than numbers.

... [ Sighs, putting his hot chocolate down for Marlboro to have instead. ]

It wouldn't have worked out... Outer Heaven failed with Big Boss... It would have failed again...

[There will always be more later.]

...There was more to Big Boss's Outer Heaven than you might realize.

[Raven had been there before Snake, after all.]

You don't get it! [Stands up, forgetting how tired he is for the moment.] He was my commanding officer, he was leading me through Outer Heaven on a mission... And then he turned on me!

[Quietly] An ever-growing circle of betrayal.

What happened at Outer Heaven began in Tselinoyarsk.

Perhaps you will be the one to break the cycle.

FFF THAT ICON

... Me? [ Falters somewhat, and turns away from Vulcan. ]

I've been waiting to use it |3c

Ouroboros; the dragon eating it's tail.

[He reaches down, drawing the symbol in the snow.]

You are the last Snake. By breaking the cycle, you will keep it from widening and swallowing those close to you.

... [Sits down again, looking at Marlboro.]

Here's hoping...
