Big Boss

> We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. We will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell. But what better place for us than this? It's our only home. Our heaven and our hell.

## Biography

### Early Life and Training from The Boss (1935-1953)

John Johnson was born on February 29th, 1935 to Burt Boss and Babs Boss, the Boss family promptly disowned John when he grabbed a knife and attempted a CQC grab on his older sister. He was locked in a cellar in his old parents' house where he perfected stealth and strength until he was 15 when he broke out by hiding on the roof in the cellar and dodging into his ex family members. He was found in the streets by The Boss, who taught and raised Snake for the rest of his childhood.

### Training and Green Berets (1953-1963)

John spent his early 20s training with the boss. From 18-24, John trained with The Boss 8 hours physically and 7 hours a day mentally a day only stopping to eat and sleep. On Sundays they would take a day of rest and spend their time in the local community and in John's 6 years with The Boss they created a form of close quarters combat that they called CQC. On June 13th of 1959, The Boss left John, only leaving a note of recommendation for the Army's Green Berets.

John began the intense program and shined above his whole class in his skill and was brought into the CIA where he met and became friends with Major Zero.

### The Virtuous Mission (August 24th, 1964)

John, now codenamed Naked Snake, was tasked to save a Soviet Defector, weapons scientist Nikolai Sokolov, from the KGB. The United States Government had given Sokolov to the Soviets to end the Cuban Missile Crisis, but now they wanted him back I guess. They send Snake in with his support team consisting of David Oh (Codenamed Major Tom), a medic codenamed Paramedic, and weapons expert The Boss, Snake's old mentor. Snake told The Boss how long it had been since they had last talked, 5 Years, 72 Days, and 18 Hours.

Snake was deployed via the world's first HALO jump (High-altitude military parachuting in a high altitude, low opening style) into the Russian forest. He sneaked past guards and took those he needed to out with CQC and a Tranquilizer gun given to him. Once he got to Sokolov he was intercepted by KGB operatives which were killed by GRU Major Ocelot who mistook Snake for The Boss. Once Ocelot realized his mistake he sent his own unit to attack Snake, Sokolov ran away like a coward while Snake had to fight the Ocelot Unit by himself. Ocelot used a technique he heard about where you eject the first bullet to make sure you always have one bullet for your gun. His gun jammed, however, and Snake took the opportunity to beat the shit out of the Ocelot Unit using CQC.

Snake needed to find Sokolov, as it isn't very helpful to return without the person you left to get. When he returned to a rope bridge he was at earlier, he found Sokolov, who pointed to a large nuke tank (not bipedal), called the Shagohod. He told Snake that the project would be discontinued if he escaped, which would be good because personally I wouldn't like a nuke tank that much. When they started going over the bridge, they saw The Boss with two large metal briefcase thingys, so obviously Snake is glad to see his momtor (mom mentor). The Boss did not share the same sentiment, she beat the shit out of Snake and then Colonel Volgin appeared and did electricity stuff. He told Snake the The Boss had defected, which made Snake sad, angry, and overall just confused. Then The Boss's unit, The Cobras, showed up in a plane. They taunted Snake and stuff. Then the group took Sokolov and The Boss CQC broke Snake's arm and threw him off a bridge, but not before Snake grabbed The Boss's bandanna.

Snake survived with major injuries, he patched himself up and waited for Major Tom and Paramedic to pick him up.

Colonel Volgin opened up The Boss's briefcases and found a gift for him, two Davy Crockett missile launchers! After Volgin's unboxing video he decided to test out one of the missiles on Sokolov's old facility, which he blew to smithereens. Snake could only watch as he prepared for extraction via the Fulton Recovery System.

### Operation Snake Eater (August 30th-September 2nd 1964)

Snake was hospitalized for his injuries and between the time of that and his awakening (a period of 6 days) the Russian government blamed the United States for the nuke set off in their country, if they couldn't prove that they did not themselves set off the nuke by killing The Boss and eliminating the Shagohod threat, then there was a threat of Nuclear War. If they were not able to prove their innocence, all people associated with the Virtuous Mission would be killed by the United States government.

Snake was awoken as soon as possible because, as he may not have been fit to go on the mission, he was the only one who could take down The Boss, so despite the wishes of Paramedic, Major Tom woke Snake up and briefed him on his next mission. Operation Snake Eater.

Snake was deployed on the night of August 30th into the forests of Russia on a Lockheed D-21 Drone launched from a U.S. M-21 aircraft. Before the drone crashed, Snake ejected and got stuck in a tree for a moment. When he got down he walked down a very narrow path until he found the crash site of his aircraft. Thankfully it was apparently quiet and unnoticeable enough for the guards to have not found it. Then out of the bushes came The Boss who beat the everloving shit out of Snake, she destroyed his gun and then using her gun, named the Patriot, she destroyed the D-21, alerting soldiers to his location, then she dipped. Thankfully for Snake, the soldiers were and still probably are very dumb and they did not find him. He was able to get to Sokolov's old base, where he was supposed to meet up with a KGB operative codenamed ADAM, however, he met no such ADAM and instead found a woman who claimed to be ADAM's fellow operative, her codename being EVA. Snake didn't trust her until she killed an ambushing patrol on a motorcycle, to which he thought it was all cool. So he spent a while attempting to flirt with her until they got inside a building with a bed. Paramedic and EVA suggested that Snake should probably take a nap, but before Snake can do that EVA gives him two gifts a super amazing super cool splendid best hes ever seen so awesome pistol and a tranquilizer gun.

Snake then took a nap.

When he awoke EVA was changing, which Snake didn't mind one bit (damn creep). When she had finished they looked out the window to find the Ocelot unit was arriving, which would prove detrimental to a girl who's only mode of transport was a loudass motorcycle (thanks EVA). So Snake had to go out and take down the Unit. He decided to be stealthy and instead of use the gun he thought was beautiful he instead used the tranq gun because he was worried about damaging the other.

After Snake took down the Unit, down came the leader. Ocelot with a badass engraved revolver had grabbed EVA! Ocelot attempts to shoot Snake but his gun malfunctions or something and Snake says "Engravings give you no tactical advantage whatsoever." Snake takes no shit from little boys and he shoots the gun out of Ocelot's hand like this is a western. EVA escapes and Ocelot gets all pissy. Due to the rude revolver man being all rude EVA decides to run him over with a Motorcycle but its all in slow mo. Ocelot passes out and Snake and EVA talk about the route Snake will need to go down to find Sokolov.

Snake went through a swamp and found a goofy crocodile hat that stopped dogs from hurting him, which he used to his advantage often.

When he got to a cliff side he found Ocelot again and spins his revolvers for 2 hours straight and they had a shootout, but that's fine because Snake is just a cowboy or something and with his tranquilizer he shoots Ocelot until some bees come out of a cave and attack the Unit, Snake, and Ocelot. The unit falls to the bees, Ocelot spins his revolvers to stop the bees from getting to him, and Snake jumps into a cave. When Snake gets adjusted to the cave, He goes further down, strangely not finding any weapons. When he gets to the end he sees a bee man.

The man screams "THE PAIN, THE PAIN, THE PAIN" because he's insane or something, but insane or something isn't allowed in this cave, so Snake shoots the bee man before asking any questions. The bee man explodes.

While he was traversing the terrain, Paramedic spent a lot of Snake's time talking to him about movies, an interest they did not share but Snake enjoyed letting people rant.

When Snake got to "Sokolov's Lab" he instead found this random dude who complained about Sokolov's tank and how it wasn't bipedal. This guy said he was going to send his plans to his friend from America. When Snake complemented his shoes the guy told Snake where Sokolov was *really* being held, which was in Groznyj Grad where he was continuing to make the Shagohod. The man gives Snake a keycard to get to a gate that leads to Groznyj Grad

Snake then leaves to return to where he needs to go, which he does with ease until he gets to a forested area and meets with a random creepy guy who jumps like a frog. Snake shoots him with his tranq gun because he doesn't want to damage the quality of his good gun and eventually frog man jumps to the ground and tries to eat some food, so Snake decides to take advantage of this and CQC his ass. The frog man screams "THE FEAR, THE FEAR, THE FEAR!" and he blows up into knives, luckily there is a conveniently shaped tree that Snake hides behind.

Snake goes to the door where he can use the keycard and walks through, he gets a call from EVA, she tells him to go to the top of a cliff to get a keycard from her to enter Groznyj Grad, she warns him about a sniper hiding around called The End who will block his way. Snake begins being very cautious but still spends the majority of his time radioing people out of boredom, this time around he spent the majority of his time talking to the weapons expert and all around bros bro, Sigint.

Eventually he finds himself in a large field, perfect to get sniped, but somehow nobody ever finds him. He goes up a cliff to a perfect sniping location to find the man, but at his expected spot he finds some random sleeping old guy. Snake shoots the old man with his tranq and he blows up after talking about something interesting probably, Snake wasn't listening.

Snake continues cautiously traveling but for some reason The End never strikes, Snake goes up a ladder for like 2 or 3 minutes or something. He goes up the cliff to talk to EVA. She gives him the keycard and tells him where to go and they almost make out but Snake isn't Cyclops enough for her. She jumps off a cliff with a motorcycle and Snake uses binoculars to check out the Russian fortress. Since he can't hear them he learns nothing.

Snake goes to the underground entrance to Groznyj Grad and finds his path blocked by some angry guy with a flamethrower, once again he tranqs this guy and he blows up, screaming "THE FURY!" when his fire head destroys the path back to the beginning of the jungle.

He goes into Groznyj Grad and is told to disguise as Colonel Volgin's gay lover Raikov in order to get to the area where Sokolov is and where the Shagohod is. Snake beats up Raikov, steals his clothes, and stuffs him in a locker. He dresses up and goes to Sokolov's room. Snake sees some blonde in there talking to Sokolov and when they finish talking, Snake goes inside and talks to Sokolov. Inconveniently, while they're talking Volgin walks in. He sees through Snake's disguise, but just to make sure he grabs his balls to check cock size, Snake's penis is much bigger than either of theirs by a large margin, which he comments on by saying "Damn, this is the biggest boss I've ever seen, a Massive Boss!" Volgin then knocks Snake out for hurting his love.

Volgin tortures and kills Sokolov and then changes his sights to Snake. As Snake gets tortured to talk by Volgin, several other watch. Those being The Boss, that Blonde Chick, and Ocelot, the last of whom stares very patiently. This is where Ocelot's BDSM I-I mean his torture strategies finally took form. The Boss says he won't talk. Snake refuses to talk, just like The Boss said he would. Volgin finds a tracker chip on Snake and then begins thinking that The Boss is a double crosser, she says she isn't and she put it on him in order to help the COBRA unit find Snake and Volgin says to prove it. Ocelot says that he thinks the Blonde chick is a spy so he starts revolver juggling his revolvers in order to get information out. However this backfires as Snake sees a bullet in the gun Ocelot is about to shoot, and he rams into him in order to not get the blonde Chick shot. The bullet scrapes Snake's eye causing it to bleed and be unusable. Everyone leaves except The Boss and she stabs him in the leg.

They stuff him in a cell, which he breaks out of with ease. EVA tells him of a location where they'll meet but he will have to go through the sewers. Snake goes into the sewers but EVA tells him that they locked all exits to the sewers except one, technically. But he will need to go quick or else the soldiers patrolling will get him.

When he gets to the exit of the Sewers, Ocelot meets up with him and threatens to shoot him but instead Snake jumps off the cliff. When he reaches the ground he dies on impact.

Awakening in a strange world he sees a man with a horrid hairline and he brings Snake down a straight line in a boring river, he eventually gets out and comes back to life.

Awakening in the woods again, EVA radios him and tells him that she has his stuff and they need to meet up behind a waterfall, which he does. She gives him his stuff and an eyepatch and finally her cyclops dreams came true and they make out. While he got changed, she also commented on his penis saying "Damn, what a Massive Boss!"

Snake goes back to Groznyj Grad to destroy the Shagohod with some C3 that EVA gave him. When he gets back to the Shagohod's location he sets all of the C3 and calls EVA but he then gets attacked by Volgin. When he awakens there is 11 minutes on the timer, and they waste time for 6 minutes, this time consisting of Ocelot finding out the blonde chick (EVA) is a spy. The Boss says that she will kill her and she takes her away. Volgin then taunts Snake for the rest of the 6 minutes until they fight. Snake CQCs Volgin to oblivion and Ocelot and Snake escape the soon exploding facility.

When Snake exits, EVA is there on her motorcycle, not dead, and she says that she needs to bring him to The Boss, but as they share this moment THE FUCKING SHAGOHOD POPS OUT GRAHHHH! Volgin is driving the Shagohod and is out for blood baby. But vengeance can't beat a well placed Rocket launcher, and the Shagohod is destroyed, Volgin is struck by lightning and he collapses, dead.

Snake and EVA continue escaping but luckily Snake remembers the end of The Great Gatsby and decides to drive the motorcycle and they narrowly dodge a tree stump. They make it straight to the lake where Snake and The Boss are going to meet.

They spot each other and The Boss informs Snake of her previous mission, that of her killing her lover. Snake feels bad that he has to kill her but she tells him that it's inevitable. She stole the Philosopher's Legacy, a large money source, and will use it to fulfill her will, but if Snake beats her, he will fulfill her will. She tells him of her will, then she says that bombers will attack their location in 10 minutes and she tells Snake to "Make this the best 10 minutes of our lives." They go through a CQC battle and Snake barely makes it through, The Boss, near death, requests Snake to kill her. Snake, through tears, kills the first person who ever loved him. Snake leaves with EVA on a chopper.

While they are escaping, Ocelot gets on the chopper and they have one final duel. However, the gun was filled with a blank, so their game ends with no deaths. Ocelot, seemingly satisfied jumps out of the chopper and calls off an attack on the chopper.

### After the Mission

After the mission Snake and EVA spend a night together (wink wink) and when he awakes, she is gone and so is the Philosopher's Legacy, she left a film strip with what she needed to tell Snake, she told him that The Boss wasn't a traitor, and, in tears, that she died for her country in the end. In order to avoid embarrassment on being dumped in the rudest way possible, he tells the story that she died that night due to his size.

The next day, Snake was given awards from government leaders, Major Tom (who told Snake now to call him Zero), Paramedic, and Sigint, and he was given the title, Massive Boss and one of them said that it was because of his cock size, to which Paramedic blushed heavily and looked away, how they knew about this, Massive Boss still does not know. Massive Boss looked angrily due to his knowledge of being used to kill his mentor, a hero who will not be recognized in the history books.

Massive Boss visits The Boss's grave and leaves her gun and flowers.

### Forming of The Patriots and the Really Mediocre Babies experiment (1964-1970)

Right after Massive Boss returned home from The Boss's grave, Zero met him at his door. He told Snake that they had the real Philosopher's Legacy and EVA was given a fake. This somewhat cheered him up from killing his mom and being dumped in the span of like 2 days. Zero gave Massive Boss the opportunity of a lifetime, to form a group to fulfill The Boss's will. Given the circumstances and there being nothing else to do, Massive Boss accepted. This interaction would create one of the most dangerous government groups in history. They begun with overthrowing America's Philosophers and designating themselves the behind doors leaders of the country, calling themselves The Patriots. On a mission in an attempt to improve relations with other countries, Snake was put into a coma after an especially dangerous explosion.

The Patriots decided to take advantage of the comatose Jack and created two clones from his genes, so just in case he were to die, which was a new fear due to the close encounter, they would have other soldiers to continue on his image. The people who worked on the project were Paramedic and Zero, assisted by a surrogate mother, EVA, who reappeared in order to fulfill what she believed she owed Massive Boss, and that was bearing his children. However, due to him being in a coma, he had no idea it was happening.

It wasn't until 1966 that Massive Boss awoke from his coma, eventually Paramedic broke and told Jack about his sons. From that point he had one mission, and that was to find his children. He took a total break from The Patriots for 4 years, instead attempting to find his kids.

In 1968 Massive Boss met with an extraordinarily impressive sniper, Sniper Wolf. They worked together to find his sons and he kinda sorta fell in love.

By 1970, when he found his sons, they were already 6, their "parents" were perfectly ok with this pirate guy taking the son they've raised. He found one of his sons, named David, in America, and he found the other, Eli, in Britain. Due to them not having known last names, their parents just gave them surnames that ended with son in the end, making them a bit more like Massive Boss.

He was satisfied and returned to America with his sons and Sniper Wolf. Sniper Wolf joined the Patriots and Massive Boss and Sniper Wolf named a combat division of the Patriots "FOX" in respect to the old unit.

Throughout their relationship, Sniper Wolf had called Massive Boss "Big Boss" and he would normally correct her, but eventually he just got used to it.

Massive Boss eventually sees the flaws in the Patriots, but when he tries to defect they threaten his family so he decides to stick with them, but due to this, they start sending him on harder missions as a punishment.

It was around this time that Massive Boss developed his life pills in order to prevent him dying in a war situation and leaving his family with no one to support them.

### Beginning of Shadow War I (1972-1974)

The Shadow War was a major conflict in the 20th century where in Shadows (or how they were later recognized as demons) infested the world and killed around 90 million people, soldiers and civilians alike.

The War began on an average Thursday, thus giving no country any time to prepare for the soon coming conflict, nobody was spared and people like Massive Boss only survived the early onslaught due to his battle experience. However, after a few months life returned as normal for some and schools were continued.

The Patriots allowed Massive Boss to stay home with his family just in case if anything goes wrong. Eventually the Patriots call him out for a mission.

### Forming of FOXHOUND (1975)

After the Ground Zeros incident, Massive Boss returned home. While he was gone, Sniper Wolf and Paramedic, the latter of whom felt bad about creating the two and feeling responsible, took care of his sons. They did well so when Massive Boss and Kaz returned, they were introduced to two well behaved children.

The Patriots, in the time that Massive Boss was gone, began panicking over the Shadow War causing them to beg for Massive Boss to do something about it, which caused him and his second-in-command at the old Mother Base, Kazuhira Miller, to create FOXHOUND, the natural continuation of FOX, but with Massive Boss, the much more resourceful and masterful leader in comparison to FOX's leader Zero, in charge instead.

Many of the old Mother Base employees joined FOXHOUND causing a large jump-start in the expert mercenary group and they helped throughout the rest of the first Shadow War, causing a change of tides and more human victories became common.

### Ending the Shadow War (1978)

Eventually Shadows stopped coming into the world, their armies being too light to continue. Massive Boss knew this and made his onslaught more determined. Eventually the army was dropped to it's bare minimum, and Massive Boss began sending out soldiers to search for Shadows.

This wasn't his only plan at the time, he was also planning on proposing to Sniper Wolf, so he sent himself and Sniper Wolf on a mission in his hometown of Southside, Philadelphia, pretty much right out in his front lawn. Inconveniently for him, they found the last armies of the Shadows.

They fought for a while until eventually Massive Boss died, this surprised everyone there but strangely he got back up and continued fighting, this was the first use of Life Pills by anyone in the -son family, unknown to anyone in combat other than Massive Boss himself.

While they were fighting the Shadows eventually expended all of their forces, causing them to nearly surrender, but before they could, an American Senator, Steven Armstrong, came out in support of the Shadows. Armstrong was given extreme power from the Patriots, making him into a super soldier, but they had never expected him to turn on his country.

Armstrong's argument was that the Shadows could help the world economy, but Massive Boss and Sniper Wolf disagreed, as they just wanted to end the deaths occurring due to the war. This triggered Armstrong and he began attacking the pair. They slowly realized how powerful Senator Armstrong really was. It took a long time, but eventually they killed Armstrong and the Shadows surrendered, ending the war.

As Massive Boss and Sniper Wolf were returning home they met with a rat who seemed kind at first. Eventually the rat held Sniper Wolf at gunpoint while Massive Boss could only watch. He was helpless to stop the murder. She died in his arms.

Massive Boss, filled with rage, killed the rat. In respect to Sniper Wolf, he changed his codename to Big Boss and vowed to never love a woman again. He also began a war on rats, due to their trickery and unknown side in the war, but mostly for revenge.

### Raiden & The Three Years of Peace (1978-1981)

Eventually Big Boss was in need for more soldiers, as a part of a now yearly quota of new soldiers until they are able to get back what they lost in the war. He began taking to those on the streets in order to find anyone to hire for cheap, as the Patriots didn't seem to understand how much it would cost to hire this many new people. Big Boss began spending much more time at work in order to make sure that the new hired soldiers wouldn't be spies.

One day on one of Big Boss's searches he found a fairly young and fit boy. The boy was damaged, in a near fatal position. Big Boss couldn't just let somebody die in front of him like that again. He took the boy to FOXHOUND and attempted to fix him up, but sadly he was too destroyed in certain locations, so using a large sum of government money, Big Boss began a project in order to save the boy's life. He turned the boy into a cyborg. When the boy awoke he gave his codename to Big Boss, that being Raiden. Big Boss gave Raiden an offer that he couldn't refuse (he literally could not). Raiden had to work for FOXHOUND for a bit in order to pay off what their organization had done for him.

In order to keep check on Raiden, Big Boss sent his secretary, Rosemary, to keep tabs on him. The two of them fell in love, which made Big Boss feel good about himself, and it also made it easier to learn more about Raiden, who's name was really Jack Sears.

Miller and Big Boss got closer and began an on and off relationship that would last until Miller's death.

During these 3 years Big Boss became a bit more involved in his kids lives and would help them as often as he could, along with Miller. Big Boss also began the rat genocide, which would end in 1981, with the last of the rats killed in October of 1981. With the last group, he found the young son of an old FOXHOUND engineer. The boy's name was Shinji Ikari. Big Boss adopted Shinji in respect to the old engineer and also in order to have a cheap extra secretary.

### Shadow War II (1981)

One day, while Big Boss and Shinji were showing Raiden around the new FOXHOUND station, Shadows, led by a shadow named Denji, attacked the FOXHOUND base directly. The Shadows had begun a full scale attack on the world once more, and little did Big Boss or Raiden know, they were after Shinji. While they were escaping the base Shinji decided to loredump on the other two of the nature of this attack and what they are really after and then suggesting to sacrifice himself. Raiden didn't hate the idea, but Big Boss completely refused it, he refused to allow someone else die and it be his fault. He had lost enough. Raiden and Shinji argued against him and in order to assure Shinji's safety, Big Boss brought him up to a roof and told no one else about his location. It was around this time that Shinji's teacher, Mr. Crocker, reared his face, asking for help to find 'fairies'.

Big Boss, hoping that finding these damned fairies would help save them, so when he found them, he gave them to Crocker, hoping that this may end the conflict, but instead Crocker used them in order to make himself an all powerful leader of the shadows. Big Boss gave Shinji to Raiden for protection and they each fought their own battle. Big Boss v Crocker and Raiden v The Shadows. Each of their battles were going poorly and many were dying, so Shinji decided to take matters into his own hands and he killed himself and died in Raiden's arms. Before Raiden could spend his time to pay respects to the boy he came to love as a son, a shadow version of Senator Armstrong arrived and attacked Raiden. Of course it took hours for someone even at the skill of Big Boss to kill Senator Armstrong, so Raiden struggled, the fight came close and closer still until, seizing an opportunity, Raiden gave a fatal blow to Armstrong.

Big Boss was being overpowered by Crocker, in a battle that sprung through the whole town, with Big Boss retreating whenever found and attacking whenever he was not. Eventually their fight brought them to a rooftop and Big Boss was left with no lives left, where Crocker, tired of playing this game of cat and mouse, shot Big Boss in the right knee, causing Big Boss to collapse. Crocker went on a long schpiel about how he is all powerful and that the only way to stop him is to find another fairy, this gave Big Boss an idea, he radioed Raiden quietly and while Crocker was talking about his whole life story, Big Boss got Raiden to find another fairy.

When Raiden found the fairy, Senator Armstrong returned using his last bit of strength to attempt to kill Raiden. Raiden ordered the wish and then his radio went silent.

Big Boss waited for Crocker to finish, and Crocker used this time to spit in Big Boss's face and taunt him, after a moment of this, Big Boss was tired of it and shot Crocker in the chest. Crocker swerved back and forth before falling off the building to his death. Big Boss was writhing in pain with no way to leave cried for help, he began to get worried about blood loss, he had never gotten to a point where this was a problem in years. He continued crying for help.

When he called for help, a man came, quite tall and skinny with a green shirt and dirty blonde hair. The man called himself Shaggy, and patched Big Boss up, brought him down the stairs, and gave him crutches. Big Boss called a car over and invited Shaggy to ride with him. They looked for Denji, Big Boss wanted blood for blood. He painstakingly searched the roads all night before the found Denji, Big Boss slammed the gas and ran into the demon at full force. Big Boss limped out of the car and used his crutches to inspect the body. The pain of the whole incident was too much, Big Boss fell onto his knees and wept.

Raiden was found by medics going around to find casualties and was restored back to health. Big Boss decided to delay Shinji's funeral until after Raiden recovered. Not many people showed up to the funeral, just Big Boss, his children, Miller, Raiden, and Shaggy.

### The Phantom Pain and Outer Heaven (1984-1985)

The Patriots had decided to use a medic put in a coma during the Ground Zeroes Incident and make another Big Boss, they had sent him to work on a new Mother Base and they used him to eliminate an enemy of theirs, the traitor Skull Face. This was done without Big Boss's knowledge and without his input. When Big Boss had found out he was furious beyond compare, he was already not a fan of the Patriots and wanted to leave but the entire event made him want to rebel. He gained contact with the faux Big Boss, who was called by the Patriots "Venom Snake" or V for short. When Big Boss told V about the situation V was equally livid, being taken advantage of, they both agreed to work to destroy the Patriots. Under their nose, Big Boss and V created a land where soldiers could be free, in accordance to what they believed The Boss's will was to be interpreted as, which they called Outer Heaven, they kidnapped Doctor Pettrovich Madnar and his his daughter Ellen to create a Metal Gear, the likes and power of which have never been seen functionally before.

On top of that, unknown to Big Boss, V had begun creating a back-up in Zanzibar just in case if operations in Outer Heaven were to go south.

During this time-span V had found Liquid Snake and formed a sort of father-son relationship with him, a relationship Liquid didn't have with his real father. Liquid became the "Second in Command" (Third technically) and would routinely be in charge of Outer Heaven while V and Big Boss were busy.

### Operation Intrude N313 (1986)

V had decided, once again without Big Boss's input, that Outer Heaven was ready for attack, he sent a warning to The Patriots in Liquid's name and put Liquid in charge of operations for a limited time as he prepared an attack. The Patriots saw this and immediately sent one of their greatest troops, Grey Fox, in to go and stop the attack, but he failed and was captured, his last words on recording being "Metal... Gear...". The Patriots then decided to send in a newer soldier, Solid Snake, to save Grey Fox, and then forced Big Boss to be the leader of the operation as punishment for letting his son get to this point, not realizing that he wasn't working for them.

While Snake was infiltrating Outer Heaven, Big Boss and V were panicking, Snakes abilities exceeded anything they had expected, he was easily taking out their mercenaries and was going deeper down the rabbit hole than his mission had required. Big Boss then moved his recording over to V instead, with Outer Heaven technicians hacking Patriot systems to move it over. V tried to tell Snake things to bring him off his path but it didn't work in the slightest, and Snake kept moving forward in his new personal mission to destroy the Metal Gear. Eventually V left the island on helicopter to escape to Zanzibarland, but due to his nature he went back and saved Liquid after Snake had beaten him. The majority of Outer Heaven had exploded and before the Governments of the World were to blow it up, V and Big Boss saved as many people as they could, including Grey Fox, who couldn't escape the intial explosion in time.
