Snake is at the mercy of the former
president he betrayed.
Story Summary
The Duke prepares to receive an influx of
refugees into New York from attacks against the weakened United
States while he also beats his recent captive, Snake. Snake
angers the Duke into inadvertently slicing open the ropes
binding him and turns the tables. He tells the Duke to call off
the bounty on him, so the Duke calls President Sutter to rescind
the order, but Sutter betrays him due to the Duke's having blown
up the Statue of Liberty. Sutter has now been forced to launch
bombers against Russia as retaliation for the "attack" and he
also diverts a force towards New York City to take out the
prison and everyone there.
Snake takes the Duke hostage as a
bargaining chip and is convinced by the coerced reporters
covering the former president to play hero and try to stop the
bombing of New York. They head for the World Trade Center towers
and are intercepted by
Lappawinsoe and his tribe. Snake agrees to fight Lappawinsoe for
the privilege of taking the rebuilt Gulffire jet glider to the
mainland.
