J.C. Leyendecker study with ocelot & eva..

[thebestpartofwakingup]

Cool MGS finale idea

I’m just spitting out ideas

-like 2024 or 2028. Sunny has grown into a brilliant young woman and has advanced well in her engineering career, now the CEO of a large organization that’s partnering with the UN and successfully sponsored the moon habitizatoon project

-yeah this game takes place primarily on the moon in like a cool solar punk lunar city and yes Sunny is the protagonist/player character

-I want the intro/tutorial to be SUPER life is strange-y. Meet Sunny’s friends. Her totally not evil buisness partner. Annoying man You have to save later who is like a doomsday MRA and like parrots a lot of Kaz and Big Boss from PW and TPP but it’s played as like a joke. Like who would ever listen to such a maniac lol

-something something happens and sunny realizes she has like powers maybe? Or she sees something weird. A little while later in her day she runs into an ocelot. Must have escaped from the zoo

-oh fuck it’s talking. Wait. What the fuck is a spirit medium. Huh???? I thought witches got black cats not ocelots???

-“WE ARENT WITCHES”

-anyways this ocelot wants to help you investigate a cult that like is into ghosts and black magic and just got their hands on a gun that has a high spirit value

-ocelot tells you it’s because mortals can’t really hurt ghosts but that gun can kill ghosts by like vaporizing them

-people in cults aren’t in their right mind and who knows what they’re doing you should investigate

-first espionage level/mission yeah! Get inside the base. Fun mechanic where sunny can control ocelot like a missle because she like ours a camera on him or can possess him or something. Can sneak into smaller areas and stuff

-cult mini bosses are like the stages of grief. Acceptance is like you literally letting Sunny die. But now she’s even more powerful and like can talk to ghosts and stuff.

-you get the gun and uh oh Ocelot takes his true form and monologues for a bit about his plan to descend the world into total war or something. Sunny unloads all 6 bullets into him as he walks slowly towards her and calmly takes it from her

-“b-but you said this gun can shoot ghosts!” “I lied. I’m just rather fond of it is all”

-uh oh

-sunny runs back to her lab to like see if she has ANY notes or anything to like try and fight this or even identify who that WAS she has NO idea what’s going on!

-turns the lights on an a woman she doesn’t recognize is standing of the middle of the room scowling “what the fuck have you done”

-sunny gets shaken a bit (just like Huey in MGS) before the boss calms down and listens to her frantically explain that she has NO idea what’s going on. “You’ve assisted a great evil, one I hoped was qualmed a long time ago” “but the gun isn’t even magic! I-I didn’t even do anything!” And some explanation about how because of his connection to it Ocelot needs his revolver to like. Be at full power or have his regular form and not have to possess animals.

-sunny insists she’s not evil and the boss snaps at her about how nobody with such wealth, especially someone who fronts such a powerful company, while people back on earth go without, can not possibly be good people. But she sees that sunny is shaken and lets her go, saying to meet her at a map coordinate later if she really wants to prove herself. Otherwise the boss will deal with these matters alone

-sunny calls/visits Hal and like tells him everything and he like sighs and says they hoped she’d never get involved and they talk about snake a little and he takes her to their secret like. War office. With all these photos and news clippings in the events from the last 5 games and like tapes and discs and stuff. Sunny is able to pick both revolver ocelot and the woman she saw out in old newspaper pictures

-“that man and woman were very close to your grandfather—the one we don’t talk about” “you mean Dr—“ “—No your OTHER grandfather we never talk about” “...I have another grandfather?” “Exactly”

-brief (and maybe not entirely accurate) recap on MGS3, MGS4 and MGS5

-sunny goes to like an abandoned Kmart or something to meet the boss. The boss explains CQC and there’s a tutorial fight and you learn like the controls and the difference between punching a ghost and a non ghost (it’s like you have to hold R or something)

-sunny realizes she’s gonna be late to big buisness talk and the boss gives you this game’s codec. Called ‘dead air’ this is how you contact her and other ghosts. Sunny has like a regular phone or something for non ghosts. Dead air has a function where you can tune it to the channels of characters from other games who we can presume are now dead and like. Hear one of their codec lines and it’s all spooky. 666.66 is just Huey screaming in pain.

-buisness partner talks about how they’re working on a tourist thing to take people to Jupiter. Afterwards sunny is approached by her friends, another engineer/astrophysicist names like Luna or Nova or something, and an Android who is like really into history and like fanboys over the boss when sunny introduces her

-something something ocelot needs to kill people to gain power. Raiden has a sword that can injure ghosts/make them leave. Learn to banish ghosts back to ghost world. Talk about how you might be able to build a mech or metal gear that could destroy ghosts completely but you need ghost energy

-get ghost energy by replaying levels from older MGS games in the ghost zone. The levels are shorter and emptier and you’re just running through to like. Fight the metal gears.

-boss explains that one could kill ghosts for soul energy but that seems unethical but sometimes things that aren’t alive have souls of like. Their memory or whatever so you can get soul energy from metal gears

-mechanic where sunny can find momentous from the other games, ocelots bullet necklace, snakes bandana, Liquids dog tags, etc, and she can equip them on missions and get a little bonus in a stat

-plot twist where sunny finds out that the boss lied. The souls energy from metal gears is the souls of the lives they took.

-ocelot shows up at the lunar Olympics cause it’s a way to stay conflict between nations. Espionage your way into the field and then fight a bunch of classic metal gears by getting them to target eachother. Confront ocelot and he kills one of your friends and flees.

-subplot about space pirates trying to usurp Sunny’s company.

-subplot about like. Werewolves who are worried about how the moon becoming a cultural and political and economic super power will fuck them over

-learn ocelot is gonna crash the space tour bus to Jupiter so everyone dies and blame it on sunny so he’s free to do his shit and she loses everything in an act of revenge

-oops buisness man intended for everyone to die the whole time. The ship is called the titanic or something

-espionage onto the ship and stuff and save everyone and confront ocelot. Mini bosses are ocelot from different games. Big dramatic entrance for ghost ocelot. It’s a stalemate. You regenerate health as he attacks you and as a ghost he just revives endlessly. Dialogue about like the endless nature of war and fighting and this is the whole point and he’s never going to stop fighting if it’s what will impose big boss’s vision on the world

-“i think that’s enough now” a form kind of blacked out by the light slowly walks towards you from the end of the hall, morphing through the different models of big boss through the games and ending with naked snake. “You don’t have to fight anymore” even the boss gasps.

-he and ocelot argue “no boss don’t you see we are so close, the endless cycle of war! I promised I’d never stop fighting for you” “I shouldn’t have asked that from you it was too much, I’m sorry” “tHE REAL JOHN WOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE HE WOULD NEVER BACK DOWN HE WOULD NEVER SAY–“ “I’m sorry for that too,” ocelot steps back slightly, clearly crying softly now in disbelief. Sunny steps forwards to try and break them up. The boss stops her

-“no no....how could it be?!” “Wise woman once said the spirit of a legend can live long after they’re gone”

-“b-but i thought this is what you–“ “I thought so too. But our time has passed and so is the time to fight. But you fought for me longer than I expected, longer than I did, I’m proud of you”

-did a split second with the change in camera angle ocelot isn’t himself. He isn’t liquid ocelot or old man ocelot or DD ocelot or Major ocelot, hes even younger than that. For an instance. Just a boy. Nobody’s ever said they were proud of him before. Throws his arms around snake and is warmly welcomed, camera cuts and when it cuts back and they pull away slightly he’s major ocelot. They sit together for a moment, cooling off, John comments on how tiny the earth looks. How even he feels small. Before standing and offering ocelot a hand, an invitation back to the afterlife. This time together.

-ocelot grasps it but their hands aren’t touching. They’re melding. Ocelot seems puzzled but John chuckles and mentions how this time they’re definitely sticking together no matter what. Before they walk away and fade into nothing, leaving the boss and sunny alone in the dark hall as the ship begins to approach Jupiter

-they don’t comment on what just transpired. Boss only jokes lightly about how she was technically the first woman in space. Sunny catches her up on space news. Jokes about how unfortunately ghosts don’t count as first or else the boss would be the first woman to also gravitate around Jupiter. Boss mentions that makes Sunny the first to, since everyone else already left.

-sunny gives a speech to the UN about history and the truth and the importance of personal responsibility and not repeating cycles so the moon and future space colonies cannot be built on oppressive economic models and everyone claps

-game ends on a cut scene with her and Otacon at a graveyard visiting solid snake. Otacon comments how he likes to think that the spirits appreciate their visits. Sunny spots a grey eyed pale cat and they both tilt their heads at eachother and sunny comments back that she thinks so to.

-game ends with a time paradox: cycle of war has been ended that fades into solid snake’s spirit congratulating the player/sunny for doing so.
