Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain Sahelanthropus Novels & Stories

Soren let out a furious cry as he drove his sword into the phantom’s shifting form, while Kai and Lyn fought to keep the summoned creature at bay. A faint click beneath my fingers. A piece of the mechanism shifted. “Got it!” I gasped. My pulse pounded in my ears as the phantom let out an ear-piercing wail, sensing we were close. And after a long battle of wits, I succeeded in cracking the mechanism open. As the heavy stone door groaned open, dust swirled in the air, catching the bright glow of the flashlights. “I would have mistaken thus for some pirates hidey hole.” Soren muttered wryly, bending over to flip open on of the chest, whistling lowly at the piles of gold he saw.

Marek whispered, his voice echoing wetly in the dark. "Keep moving. Don't touch the sides if they’re glowing," Pella commanded. She could feel the vibration of the world above them. It was a terrifying, tectonic hum—the sound of Sofia’s power clashing with the Void-Glass. Every few seconds, a dull thump would shake the pipe, sending bits of ancient mortar falling into the sludge. She knew it was the Sunderer firing, and she knew Sofia was holding the shield. The clock wasn't just ticking; it was melting.

The voice in my bones whispered again: Decide. Kieran lurched forward. “Stop!” he barked at Mara. “You can’t—” Mara turned her head slightly. “Watch.” Selah’s jaw unhinged. A black, wet shape slid out—not a baby, not a wolf, not human—something glossy and boneless, like a leech made of shadow. It dangled from her mouth for a heartbeat, then dropped to the floor with a soft slap. Selah collapsed, coughing blood. The thing on the stone twitched, then lifted itself—upright—using joints that weren’t meant to bend that way. Its eyes opened.

Lucio drops him before he makes it ten steps. We breach the doors. The inside reeks of mold and sweat, the stench of desperation. Men scatter like roaches, grabbing weapons, shouting warnings. But they are not soldiers. They are pawns. And pawns fall quickly. The gunfire is brief but brutal. By the time the smoke clears, bodies litter the floor, and my men are sweeping the corners. Lucio drags one survivor into the center of the room, throwing him at my feet. Blood streaks the man’s face, his hands shaking as he looks up at me.

I felt that my heart could no longer take the fear anymore as it started to beat faster and faster until I heard another loud piercing tone from the entrance, " STOP!!" My eyes shone up hopefully as soon as I saw MARCELLO walking into the room. His eyes were cold like hell. When I hoped that he was here to save me, he told Cassendra with a smirk, " She is a model, isn't it? I want to have fun with her alone. So let her go, Miss Cassendra! I don't like sharing my toy with others." All my hopes collapsed to the ground instantly..

And they were going to pay with their blood. At last, Clint rounded on the final goblin who'd attacked them. Their grey, slate-like skin was natural to the underground cities where the goblins preferred to live. "W-wait!" the goblin screeched in her familiar, high-pitched whine. "My liege!" Damon stopped. His haunches raised, every hair on his body on end, he stared down at the small goblin who'd come here. Defied him. Attacked him.

I raise the trident and ready to command the soldiers under my compulsion when the wall bursts and roars echo around as a large wolf and two Lycans run out as they fight the soldiers. I run past them and shriek again the closer I get to what looks like a lab. I stop at the door. I push it open and my breath is stolen from my lungs as I see hundreds of tanks, each with a siren inside. I move to the first one and place my hand on the glass, but he is already dead. I hang my head in shame as I look at the one behind me and I move to that one too, and the tears fall. A child has a muzzle around her mouth and is sedated. Floating at the bottom, she is alive, but very weak.

asked Joseph after the introductions. “I’m not sure, maybe. Would you mind if I try?” Trisha behaved like a princess, all silk and honey. “Not at all,” Ann replied. She aimed her phone cam at the couch and giggled, showing me the screen. The SLS had detected two humanoid shapes sitting on the couch, two more standing behind it and two smaller ones, standing by the left side of the couch. It was like a family portrait in stick figures. “It can!” I cried, excited. “Lizzie, would you please raise your hand?”

> PRIMARY IMPACT DETECTED: 12,000 KILOJOULES > EXOSKELETON SIPHON STATUS: MAXIMUM OUTPUT > GROUNDING LOOP: ACTIVE > GEOTHERMAL MATRIX PRESSURE: DRAIN INITIATED (78%... 65%... 48%) > Inside the white-hot storm of plasma, Archon Malakor let out a raspy, triumphant cackle over his suit’s speakers. "Died for nothing, half-breed! Your harness is mine—" "You talk too much, old man," a deep, rumbled voice growled through the smoke. Malakor’s eyes widened behind his HUD as the smoke cleared.
