Ash to Ash, Dust to Dust, Skin to Bone

Enraged, Solid Snake began punching Gray Fox over and over again. Fox quickly blocked the last punch then kicked Snake's gut and went for a roundhouse but Solid Snake quickly recovered and did a jumping knee to his leg then spun in mid air and socked Gray Fox with a roundhouse kick, making him stumble backwards. Once Snake landed on his feet, Snake hit Fox in the ribs with a barrage of punches, Fox felt the power in Snake's punches, he felt the fury in his fist. Fox tried blocking the punches but Solid Snake was quicker and then shattered Fox's nose with a hammering elbow blow, knocking him back into one of the corners. Solid rushed towards him and kicked his back then grabbed his head. Solid Snake roared as he grabbed Gray Fox's head then slammed it onto the metal pole, over and over again. Gray Fox's face got more bloody but he quickly struck Snake in the ribs with an elbow then went for an elbow to his head but Snake ducked then grabbed Fox's head and tossed him face first into the ropes, making his face as bloodsoaked as Snake's and knocking Fox onto his back. In a moment of adrenaline, Snake grabbed onto the top rope, ignoring the explosion and electricity coursing through him then ripped the barbed wire off the poles. Enraged, Solid Snake began whipping Gray Fox with the barbed wire, giving him lash after lash but he wasn't done just yet. Solid Snake then leapt onto Gray Fox's back, wrapped the barbed wire around his cheek and pulled back. Gray Fox didn't bother screaming and instead gripped onto the ring floor, trying to fight back against it. Snake kept pulling back but Gray Fox kept pushing against it, refusing to let his body give up. Suddenly, Snake felt Fox pushing back with much more force then Fox flipped Snake off him, luckily the enraged Snake caught himself then glared at him, noticing Gray Fox's once soulless blue eyes were now an enraged crimson blood red. His teeth gritted as blood oozed out his mouth. Big Boss witnessed this fight with such a thrilling rush, his two beasts of battle are about to have the most bloody fight he's ever seen.

"THAT'S IT SNAKE! MAKE ME FEEL IT! MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE AGAIN!" madly cried out Gray Fox. Solid Snake let out a demonic roar and so did Gray Fox as they madly dashed towards each other. They engaged with each other, blow after blow as the whole world watched this horrific battle. Ellen watched this fight on her tv at home and had to cover her eyes due to not being physically able to watch the brutality. Holly did the same in Zanzibar but then there were those who watched in sheer horror as Solid Snake and Gray Fox tried killing each other with these punches, especially those in FOXHOUND and more specifically Meryl who couldn't help but pray for Snake to survive. Back into the fight, Gray Fox went for a backhand fist but Solid Snake ducked, wrapped his arms around Fox to lift him up and slam him but Fox freed himself, flipped backwards and then slammed his knee into Snake's nose then jabbed him in the face before slipping behind and wrapping his arms around his waist. Attempting to go for German suplex, Gray Fox lifted him but Snake got himself free then double stomped Gray Fox in the face and flipped backwards then went to grab Fox but the white haired devil kicked Snake back near the ropes. Fox rushed towards Snake and leapt to strike him with a flying knee but Snake was a step ahead and caught Fox, doing a belly to belly suplex onto the ropes. The force of the explosion knocked them back but Gray Fox took advantage to stop himself and trap Snake in a full mount. Fox then began rapidly punching Snake in the face as Solid Snake tried to keep his guard up, Fox then was going to go for one more punch but Snake gripped onto Fox's head then tossed him aside to flip him onto his back. Savagely, Snake pounded and bashed Fox's face with more aggression than before. Instinctively, Fox wiggled out a leg and pushed Snake off him then rolled backwards to get up. They both rushed towards each other and began trading blows once more, punch intercepted by punch, kicks and knees blocked by kicks and knees then in one last animalistic effort, Solid Snake and Gray Fox leaned back and headbutted each other with their bloodied heads. The impact made both men stumble backwards, they both quickly recovered then engaged once more. Fox went for a roundhouse but Snake blocked it then moved himself behind, wrapped his arms around his waist, lifted and slammed him down with a German suplex. Snake rolled over him and lifted him once more but Fox managed to put an arm over Snake's neck then slammed him onto his back with a hip toss. Instinctively, Solid Snake rolled and wrapped his legs around Fox's head then began striking him in the head with his elbow. Finding the strength, Fox managed to slowly get up and lift Snake in the air and then attempted to slam him face first but Snake stopped him by holding his hands forward and grabbing onto the floor, Snake then pushed himself up to then rotate his weight and throw Fox using his legs. The demonic warrior rolled forward to recover then dashed toward Snake and cracked him one with a stunning elbow. Snake then responded with a brutal uppercut then went for a jab but Fox parried and socked him with a right hook then the bloodied Snake punched him in the gut but Gray Fox cracked Snake's right orbital bone with another elbow. Enraged, Snake screamed in his face and shattered his nose with three consecutive elbows. The demons of battle faced each other once more, the blood pouring through their face, both men grabbed the other into an open clinch and began pummeling each other, blood spilling through the floor and the adrenaline wearing off slowly, their bodies slowly wearing down as the punches began slowing down. Whatever rage possessed them couldn't hold them for long as then, they both collapsed in front of each other. Gray Fox and Solid Snake both knew what they were both fighting for but what remains is to see who shall be the victor of this hellacious, brutal bout that the world depended on.
