[IC] - All the World's a Game

Hakugyokurou

The fox nodded to the white haired girl and started to walk towards the quarry, the grimoire tightly held on her paw ("Almost there, just a little more time..") she thought

I followed the group to Saigouji Ayakashi. "See ya later, miss Yuyuko!"

"Do take care! I don't want another incident like the one we just had to occur again!"

We walked on.

"Wow. How are you going to carry 20 tons of marvel marble?"

"Mr. Grigori, you have visitors." Youmu knocked on the wooden door of an old hut.
"I'll go outside, don't come in." A coarse, coughing voice called out as the door opened to reveal a large spirit with beard and hollow-looking eyes.



"Good evening, девушка." Rasputin greeted Youmu, who bowed, slightly less formal than her bow to Yuyuko, but a bow nonetheless, showing how well-respected Rasputin was. "How can I help you, Мои друзья?"

Hakugyokurou, Netherworld

"Wow. How are you going to carry 20 tons of marvel marble?", Komachi asked.

John looked over to Komachi and said, "With my hands.", in a calm tone.

Netherworld Quarry

The fox was impressed to see the magician himself in good state, yet she greeted him with a bow "It is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Grigori, if I may ask, I have come to your pressence with a request" she said handling him the grimoire

"I hope you can help me with a specific work of yours" Renamon said hoping he would help

Dynamo smirks at Snake's reply. "Well... normally I only take payment up front, but I guess I can make an exception. They have something I want. I'll show you where their base is, and I'll even help you infiltrate it. Trust me you will need all the help you can get when it comes to getting in there. Trust me I tried, and failed each time." Said Dynamo as his visor slides up into his helmet.

Gate nods his head as he begins to drive the Shagohod along the track. It controls like a tank, but is much smoother. "It's like riding a bicycle!" Said Gate as he continues to follow the track.

"Alas, you seek the генезис. Regenesis." Rasputin smiled at Renamon, reading her minds. "Wherever you obtained the tome, I will not ask. But do note that it will take a long time to activate the tome again."

Hakugyokurou, Netherworld; Komachi

"Oh yea, you're really strong, I forgot. But the stuff is rather heavy. Unless you take the long way back to the bridge, I don't see how you can take it. If you bring it on the boat, it would sink, and no one's been able to swim up the Sanzu river. Actually... you can leave the marvel marble on the boat without you and we might be able to take it. Sound like a plan?"

Home Base, Nevada; Otori

I watched the many bodies pile up video after video.

"Wow, Hank! I've never seen anyone as skilled as you...well, maybe except Naked Snake, from another game. You guys are exactly the same."

Lisborn, Australia; Snake

"Hmm... at this point, we have no other choice but to believe you. Come with me, I'm going to show you the rest of the team."

I walked over to the team. "Guys, I found some one. He says he knows the location of the base."

I turned to him. "What's your name?"

Metal Gear Test Lane, Base 2, Australia; Volgin

"Hahah! Now then, I want you to activate the boosters. Activate it on the straight lane. Otherwise you might fall out of the course, and you haven't the training to do that kind of turning maneuvers, nor are you going to drive the thing for the actual operation. Your robot is. The boster button is right below the throttle."

Netherworld Quarry

Hearing his warning, Renamon had a chill on her spine "Is there any way to make the tome active faster? if so, what would be needed?" the fox asked still not giving up

Sound like a plan?", Komachi said.

"Considering that I weigh around half a ton, and the boat can barely carry me, I think we'll need to make multiple trips. We are supposed to be moving 20 tons, so if we take half a ton per trip, it will take 40 trips, but if we manage to squeeze 1 ton per trip, it'll take 20 trips. It's a shame that Old Hell isn't closer... Not unless... How far away is Old Hell?", John asked Komachi.
