At first Jaina gulped and quivered...<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> at first<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->.

Jaina gulped down the fear of impending death and stared right back in "Snake's" blue eyes with her sea-green ones. She didn't flinch, didn't blink, didn't even hardly breath. She usually cool gaze was now ablaze with boiling Solo-temper.

Liquid smiled again.

"Shall we go?"

Without waiting for her to answer he turned and started walking toward the entrance of the docking bay,draging her along with the whip.Right before they exited the docking bay he turned to her.

"I wouldn't try anything if I were you.This whip has laser mode that can slice right through you if I decide to turn it on"


He half-dragged her to a landspeeder parked at the edge of the docking bay.Once they were in he put on stun-cuffs and secured her in the backseat.He slipped in the driver seat and started the repulsorlifts.Once they were heading away from the docking bay did Liquid speak.

"It is a pity Snake never survived to see this.I think he wouold have enjoyed watching"

As she sat in the seat, the air around Jai was practically sizzleing with her heated temper....being dragged along with that whip like a dog! <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> UGH!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

"Enjoyed?! You sick scumbag! Snake would have freed me by now, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> and<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> killed you dead! Just like I'm going to do, you pathetic bantha spit-puddle!"

Jai lost control of her temper for a moment and kicked the back of Liquid's chair hard with the sole of her boot repeatedly, cussing up a Corellian storm.

Liquid frowned.

"We need to take a little detour.I do not like being called a "Bantha spit puddle"

He adjusted the speeder's course and soon they had arrived at a large building.

"This is the New Alliance command center" Liquid explained.
"All their operations are commanded and watched from here"

He grinned.

"And where they store their weapons"

The speeder entered a large hanger bay area.There were X-wings,YT-1300s,and one familiar looking YT-2400.But worse of all they bay had at least 3 Titan Assault Walkers.

"Let us see how you fight"

"You weren't suppose to like it, you stupid clone!"...she had stopped kicking and slumped down in her chair hopelessly.

Jai looked out at the contents of the hanger. She did a double take at the YT-2400, but shruged it off...what really worried her were those Walkers.

"Fight? Ha! If it's fighting you, pal, then bring it on."

Liquid grinned,it looked exactly like Solid Snake's smile.

"Yes you will be fighting me....or should I say.....<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> that<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->."

He pointed at one of the walkers.

He stopped the landspeeder and got out.two big Darktroopers stepped up and hauled Jaina out as well.She looked up just in time to see Liquid climb inside the cockpit of the walker.The cockpit canopy closed and the walker seemed to come alive.The darktroopers released Jaina and shoved her forward, she was unarmed.

Now she was up againt a fully operational Titan-class Assault Walker,with a Snake as the pilot.


"Come,let's fight"!

Jaina's eye followed the legs of the Walker from the floor all the way up where Liquid was...she was an ant compared to it. She sheer thought of trying to fight such a thing---unarmed!---was mindnumbing.

She yelled up at Liquid, "<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Are you crazy?!?!?!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->"

Liquid smiled inside the cockpit.

To himself he said "Unfortiunately,no I am not crazy"

To Jaina,who he could speak to through a loudspeaker,he said "Was Snake crazy?......oh come on Darklighter...scared"?

Her?! Scared?!!!!!?!
That did it...

Jaina growled and snarled, even though he probably could'nt see. "You just signed your death warrent, pal!"

Jaina looked around quickly for something to help her....then she saw it. That YT-2400...

She bolted quickly towards it. Liquid let out a barrage of fire from the Walkers, but somehow, Jai managed to dodge and dove into the YT-2400.

She scrambled to the cockpit threw herself into the captians chair...Jai hit the power-on switch with the heel of her boot as she stretch to the other side of the cabin and flipped on the shields, "Cm'on baby...come on."

The shield kicked in and the loudness of Liquid's shots dwindled as the shield strengthend and the ricocheted off the protected hull. Jaina sighed with relief and checked out the fire-power she had....she would have to think fast if she was going to get out of this one alive...

The walker gave up it's disrupter attack on the YT-2400 and decided to use it's powerful arms to hit the ship,and it's feet to stomp on it as well.It came over and slammed down on the cockpit hard,making it bend slightly inward.it backed up and hit it again,the cockpit groaned.

Liquid laughed over the loudspeaker.

"Oh come on Solo...you can do betterthan hide inside a cockpit.You are stupid to stay inside it...I'll crush you into dust"!

The walker came forward again to stomp on the cockpit with it's massive foot when a figure detatched itself from the dark shadows of the ceiling.It fell downward...


.....to land directly in front of the walker.And right under it's foot.The walker hesitated for a moment then decided to stomp on the figure instead of the cockpit.If the foot had hit the cockpit....

Jai twisted around to get a look at the person who was now holding the foot up with it's bare hands.
The person was wearing a blue and red suit with a sword attached to it....

It was Solid Snake.
