Shields: One helluva time to be endorsing products, eh?

Skool: we'll do the products later. One quick tip y'all. I've watched a lotta hockey film in my life time. If you're gonna shoot on belfour take that bad boy top shelf. He always goes down.

Snake: top shelf huh...ill remeber that.

Rude: Huh?...o yeah its a bitchin plan.

Liquid: you're not paying attention again

Rude: sorry just going over some plays in my head. The trap and what not...

Liquid : Thinking too hard can hurt you. You're not one of the Sutter brothers.

Still mean while Hax is talking with RonGon, the mayor of San Jose

Skool: Ever get stressed being a minority and a leader?

Ron: Yes. But you gotta look beyond that. You gotta look to what can be acheived after you get through an obstacle. Try not to let the minuscle things to get to you and concentrate on the Major Problems. Then fix the major things and then work on the minor issues.

Skool: Major things...then minor.

Ron: also if you make promises you gotta keep them.

Skool: You mean like getting BART down to San Jose before you're outta office?

Ron: exactly, or at least find great substitutes.

Skool: thanx

RH: It is now time to start the third period. It is gonna get rough here!

Tony and Damps come rushing over

Damps: Shieldsy speak to me man!

Shields writhes in pain. Tony and Damps help him to the bench

Shields: Ain't no way in hell im going back out Hax.

Skool: Its fine man we've got a back up...BC! Start warming up!

BrodeurChick: Yippie ki ya

Skool and BC skate out to the net

Skool: You like pressure BC?

BrodeurChick: I like a good challenge.

Skool: Well then take a quick look up to the ceiling. The lives of those two up there are in your hands.

BrodeurChick: Groovy...

Skool: Make like wall baby. Skool kisses the forhead of BC's goalie mask

Skool: Don't worry about it. All you gotta do is stop a little black rubber disc.

Stewart: alright lets gett this thing started again.

RH: We' ready to start it up again and Skool takes the face off.

Solid: unnnhhh!

Solid: Mush? Is that brtish for oatmeal you limey bastard!

Liquid: you jest...

Liquid gets solid in a choke hold and starts slamming his head against the ice

Liquid: Don'.

Solid: Get of off this!

SK: Solid and Liqid are litterally at each others throats!

RH: In all my years i have never seen two people wanting to kill each other so badly.

Cammi: Those two are genetic equals right?

Claire: Yeah...

Cammi: and unless some one intervenes they're gonna just keep wrestiling and chocking each other till they die. Right?

Claire: Theoreticlly speaking, yes. What's your point?

Cammi: Just watch.

RH: Cammi Granato is skating over to the brew ha-ha over by the boards.

SK: She may be looking to break this up. And i do mean break.

Cammi: Enuff of this...

Cammi breaks her stick over Liquid's back

Liquid: unnnhhhhh!

Solid: oooo Hurt don't it! Thanks Cam.

Cammi: no prob. but we still have a game to win. Go score one for Meryl.

Snake: yeah...thats what im going to do.

Liquid gets up

Liquid: This isn't over yet!

RH: Cloud and Cammi skate it into the zone. They pass back and forth. A 3 on 2 is forming with Sanke coming in from the far side. They pass back and forth. Cloud with the cross ice pass to Snake, he takes it top shelf...!

SK What a beauty! Snake went right for Belfour's weak spot. Eddie always goes down.

Snake: Yessssssssssssss! hey Hax you were right. Top-shelf.

Skool: I told you man i told You!

Snake skates by the bench and slaps his teamates hands. Then points at Liquid and gives the "you're going down" hand motion

Liquid: I want you to put that puck in the net!

Rufus: What you makes you all high and mighty? You try getting by that chick. She's like a friggin brick wall! Why don't you score us a goal?

Liquid: You question my ability? We shall see.

Rufus: yeah I bet. I'm beggining to doubt all this.

Reno: Have a little faith you jerk! the man says hes gonna put the biscuit in basket then he will. Won't you?

Liquid: yes. We're gonna kill someone today. And i'll be the reason why!

While all this action is going on Logan is up in the rafters trying to get Tifa and Meryl free

Gabe: Im here to bust you two out.

Meryl: Thank god!

Tifa: brrrrrr...yeah its freezin up here. I couldn't poss...LOOK OUT!

Aramov: hahahaha! Logan you fool. Did you think you could just waltz up here and just take theses two!

Gabe: Is that a trick question?

Aramov: Still the same smart talking New Jersey boy. see if you can talk your way out of getting shot. These genome soldiers here are under my complete contol. Prepare for a lead shalacking!

A gunfight between Gabe and the genomes ensues. Gabe radios Socom

Socom: Gabe?

Gabe: AHHHHHHHHHHH! Holy crap!

Socom: Hold them!

Socom turns to Skool

Socom: Hax, we got a slight problem.

Skool: What are you talking about?

Socom: Take a look up to the rafters.

Skool discreetly takes a quick glance upwards and sees flashes from gunfire

Skool: o hell...

Socom: I know man. I hope he can hold them.

Skool: We still got a game to win. W-I-N man W-I-N Whats Important Now. He's pulled some unbelivable stuff in his lifetime. He'll be fine up there. He's got more ammuniton on him than the sporting goods department at S-mart.

Stewart initaiates the face off

Skool: Holy hell BC!

BrodeurChick: Dammit I let that one through!

Skool: It's not your fault. We couldn't setup the friggin defense. they got a jump on us. You were totally under fire.

BrodeurChick: But now its tied! We're screwed!

Skool: This game isn't over yet. They came to me for help. Im gonna help them.

Hax is determined to make BC feel better

Skool: Just watch baby. We'll win this. I bet all ive got on it.

Hax takes a look at the clock

Skool: Timeout!

RH: Hax takes his team's only timeout here late in the third.

SK: He is definetly planning something. What though I do not know.

RH: It's proabaly something big!

Skool: Ok everybody gather need to kill the clock for just a minute and a half.

Cammi: what for?

Skool: Y'all remeber the 1980 winter olympics when we beat the Soviets?

Damps: so you just wanna score so you're woman feels better? is that it?

Skool: Isn't that why we're here? So that two women will feel a lot better than they would if we weren't here?

Claire: he's got a point. so you think you can get it?

Skool: I know so. Listen, we need to kill the clock till its down near nothing. Then I want Damps to drop pass it to me. I'll take care of the rest. Mike Erouzione style.

RH: here comes the faceoff. Taken by the good team. And they start passing it back and forth in their own zone.

SK: Looks like they want to score the final goal. They're gonna kill the clock and then they're gonna have their final rush.

RH: 15 seconds left...here comes that final rush...Damps with the puck slightly ahead of Hax they cross the blue line...8 seconds...Damps at the top of the circle...6 seconds...drop pass back to hax...4 seconds...Hax with the quick wrister...1second... !

Cloud: He called it! he told us he'd score it and he did!

Snake:Hell YA! We won! Yesssss!

Damps:hell ya hax you scored that thing.

Everyone skates out to center ice to congratulate Hax on the goal

Socom: yo lemme check in on Gabe.

Socom radios Gabe

Gabe: What? Why the hell are the genomes still shooting at me? If we won they should be backing off. Somethings wrong!

Socom: what the hell...hey guys the genomes are still shooting at Gabe.

Cloud: what the hell they should be...

Every body looks at the e-team

Cloud: what the hell is going on?

Liquid: You didn't actually think i was going to let them go did you?

Cloud: ?

Liquid pulls out a remote control

Liquid: It is now time to splat!

Solid: What? We won! you little freaks!

Liquid: Prepare to watch them die!

Liquid presses the button and nothing happens

Liquid: What the hell? Its not working!

Rude: Is this what you're looking for?Rude pulls out another remote control I got the real remote control right here!

Liquid: You backstaber! pulls out a FA-MAS You will die for this!

Liquid guns down Rude

Skool: AHHHHHHHH! G-team draw your weapons!

Snake: Eat lead!

G-team mows down the E-team. The bodies of the E-team are sprawled all over the ice.

Rude: unnhhh Here...Rude uses the remote to slowly lower Tifa and Meryl to the ice

Socom skates over and unties them

Meryl & Tifa: o thank God...

Each runs to their loved ones

Tifa: Cloud! O im so glad to be with you again!

Cloud: me too...It must have been terrible.

Tifa: I got it pretty easy, a little bit of freezing and my wrists are a little sore. but it doesn't matter...now that im back with you! Cloud holds Tifa tightly

Meanwhile on the other side of the ice

Meryl: David!puts her arms round his neck and squeezes him

Snake: Meryl...you're ok ...thank God.

Meryl: owwwww my head feels like its gonna explode...but i should be fine especially since we're back together.

Snake: I thought ...I thought ...he had the control and everything...

Meryl: don't worry , its over now.

Tifa: I promise.

Rude:Thank you...good bye Tifa...

Rude dies on the cold ice

Tifa: he gave himself up for me...

Cloud: i guess...i guess he wasn't so evil after all

Skool: Ahem...not to sound inconsiderate...but i gotta get the zamboni and clean up all the bodies...i do have a lease on this place that i gotta abide by.

Leon: we understand. Do whatever it is you need to do.

Hax scans the ice

Skool: ummmm, Snake where's your brother?

Snake: What? what are you talking about?

Skool: well he was just lying here about a minute ago and now his body is gone.

A loud rumbling can be heard form the opposite end of the ice. Liquid coomes out hauling ass on a zamboni and packing a FA-MAS

Liquid: SNAAAAAAAAAKE! Die!

Liquid points the FA-MAS at Solid and Meryl but then suddenly...

Liquid: ahhhhhhh! what...i can't move...

A voice from the upper bowl

Voice: His name is David you limey! Now eat missile!

An anti-tank missle flies into the zamboni blowing it straight to hell along with Liquid

Snake: what the hell?

Skool: Brian? what the hell are you doing here?

Brian: I thought you could use a little back up.

Brenda: Hiya Hax!

Skool: You're here too Brenda?

Brenda: yuppers

Brian: someone had to be the security device in case Liquid came back from the dead again.

Skool: How...how did you pull this off?

Brenda: well first of all we had to get these paralysing drugs into Liquid

Brian: Brenda took care of that. He's got a huge ego.

Brenda: Yeah so all i had to do is warm up to Liquid and poke him with this needle. He was so busy listening to me tell him how much i like evil, that he didn't even notice.

Brian: Then of course we waited up here with this AT missile.

Snake: Well thank God you were here. I've had one too many surprises today.

Socom: Hold on a sec guys.

Radios Gabe

Socom: You there Gabe?

Gabe: Yeah, Im here.

Socom: What about the genomes and Aramov?

Gabe: the genomes are dead. Aramov got away, but thats ok. I'm gonna need her alive for Syphon Filter 2. hold on a sec and ill be right down.

Gabe rappels down to the ice

Gabe: Im glad this has ended.

Skool: well now that this is all over how about we all go to my house for a little celebration...

The next day. Saturday evening. Everyone is a Hax's house. Some mad tunes are being squelched

Skool: Hey Socom catch!Throws him a piece of tri-trip

Socom: I got it i got it!Falls into the pool

Skool: o man...

Skool: yeah so whats your point?

Leon: I thought you said the heater was chilling on an intertube still trying to work off the hangover from the whiskey

Skool:You see that hose over there? I hooked it up to the hot water heater.

Leon: You're jacking up your heating bill for us?

Skool: Only the best for my friends.

Later that night

Snake: Thanks again for helping us.

Cloud: yeah if it weren't for you two, I don't know what we would of done.

Meryl: Thank you for everything.

Tifa: We all owe you one. A huge one. If you ever need anything...
