Father's Shadow, Son's Light

Big Boss

You've grown strong, Snake. But strength alone won't change this twisted world.

Snake

I don't need to change the world. I just need to stop those who would destroy it.

Big Boss

(Let me show you what true power looks like, son.)

Snake

Your way only creates more chaos. I'll end this cycle.

Big Boss

(His reflexes are faster than before. He's not holding back.)

Snake

I learned from the best. Including you.

Big Boss

Perhaps... you really are the one who can carry that burden.

Big Boss

The world doesn't need heroes, Snake. It needs monsters willing to do what others won't.

Snake

I've seen what your 'monsters' become. I won't let that happen again.

Big Boss

(His stance is perfect. But perfection has flaws.)

Snake

You're getting slow, old man.

Big Boss

(He's baiting me. Using my own moves against me.)

Snake

You taught me everything. Including your weaknesses.

Snake

(Otacon's voice... a Metal Gear? Activated by our fight?)

Big Boss

Every move we made... every impact... was being recorded.

Snake

You used me. This whole fight was just... data collection?

Big Boss

The data's complete. Metal Gear REX is fully calibrated to our fighting patterns.

Snake

You son of a... You knew they'd use our moves against us.

Big Boss

(He's right to be angry. But sometimes betrayal is just another battlefield.)

Snake

REX is outside. We need to work together or we're both dead.

Big Boss

Take it. We'll settle this after we survive.

Snake

(He's really going to help? Or is this another trap?)

Big Boss

(The charges are set. After REX falls, the warehouse becomes our tomb.)

Snake

Wait... those charges weren't here before.

Big Boss

One way or another, Snake... this ends today.

Snake

Thirty seconds. He's really going to bury us both.

Big Boss

(The perfect end. Father and son, united in death.)

Snake

(The door's sealed. He planned every detail.)

Snake

Damn it! Old man, you win this round!

Snake

(The air duct... fifteen seconds to make it.)

Snake

(This isn't over, father.)

Snake

The warehouse is gone... but so is he.

Snake

(These aren't his. A decoy. He's still out there.)

Snake

This isn't the end. It's just the beginning.
