Authors Notes: This fic came about after I was reading another fan fic over at Fanfiction.net which had Maggie being taken in by the Lovejoys when Bart and Lisa move away to South Park (yes, THAT South Park). I was kinda inspired by it, and it gave the basic concept for this fic, but I wanted a different approach, I wrote my own concept, but Leif also provided some and I mixed the two, using more from Leif's concept than my own. After a while writing I decided to give it the Metal Gear title, and weave in references to the original Metal Gear Solid game. In the Metal Gear Solid canon, this would be placed between Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2, it does contain spoilers for The original game, I suggest you play it before reading beyond Part Four.

Part Four - Maggie Simpson
Bart and Lisa stared at Maggie so long that they both caused her to start blushing. Though after all, neither Bart or Lisa had properly met Maggie before, even though she was their sister. Maggie unties Bart and Lisa.
"So, Maggie. It was you who came to see me at the cemetery?" asks Lisa
"Yup" Maggie replies
"Why didn't you just tell me who you were there?"
Maggie has untied Bart and Lisa... She must be good with knots.
"I'm undercover. But there's no time, we have to get out of here."
"Right" Lisa says
"Wait up, where's our guns, they cost me a bundle"
"Dont worry about those, I've got spares" replies Maggie.
Maggie pulls out an M4, she cocks it.
"Alright, follow me" Maggie says
Maggie leaves the room, Bart and Lisa are following her as she shoots at doors and then kicks them down hard. When they get onto the street, Lisa takes over the leadership of the party and they get back into the car. Lisa drives to the Simpson household.
"So, Maggie. Can you fill us in on what you know" asks Bart.
"Yeah, what did you mean by "undercover"?" asks Lisa.
"Alright, you see, I work a guy named Wade Durnt, he's kind of a weirdo. Around twenty years ago, he hacked into a camera on Mr. Burns's plane that he was going to use Nuclear Waste as some kind new energy source"
"But that would be a good thing" replies Lisa, "at least Burns is now thinking about the planet"
"Sure" answers Maggie "but the thing was, the new source would have been more expensive to the consumer"
"That's Mr. Burns alright!" jokes Bart
"Quiet Bart" says Lisa.
"I'd take that Wade wasn't really too happy about it. So he threatened Mr. Burns to stop, and if he didn't there would be consequences."
"What consequences" questions Lisa
"Apparently, he would remove all of Mr. Burns's employees" replies Maggie.
"You think...?" asks Bart to Lisa
"Maggie, you mean that this Wade Durnt character hired someone to assassinate Mom and Dad?" asks Lisa
"Yes." answers Maggie.
In heaven, Homer and Marge are watching their screen showing the footage inside of the Simpson house.
"WHAT?!" Shouts Homer "You mean I was killed so that Mr. Burns could earn more money?!"
"Calm down Homer" says Marge "There's nothing we can do anymore..."
"Yeah, well, we'll see about that." Homer replies, angrily.
Homer got on good terms with God, so he was allowed to enter his lair pretty much any time he wanted when Homer needed some assistance, Homer always joked that he betted that Flanders wouldn't get that kind of treatment. God was at least thirty foot tall, with a long white beard, wearing sandals and a white robe.
"Homer, what's wrong?" the Almighty said.
"God, I need a favour" Homer replied "I want my kids to go teach the bastard who killed Marge and me a lesson"
"And...?"
"How else are they going to know to do it if I don't tell them"
"Could you dumb it down a shade...?"
Homer sighs.
"I want you to let me to go to Earth and this time let my kids see me" responds Homer.
"Very well. But only because your jokes on Lenny and Carl amuse me so much" replies God. "Remember though Homer, this is a one time pass"
God prints and cuts Homer a Yellow Card with the words "Visual Earth Visa" written on it.
In the Simpsons Living Room, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are still talking about how to progress.
"So, Maggie..." Bart starts
But before he could finish his sentence Homer's ghost appears behind him.
"Bart Simpson..." Homer says trying to sound spooky
Bart turns around.
"Aye Carumba!" Bart yells in surprise.
"Dad?" asks Lisa
"OooooOOOOOooooooOOOOO" Homer says twiddling his fingers
"Will you stop that!" Bart shouts.
Homer cowers, as if he was afraid of his son.
"Okay" he says meekly.
"Dad, Is that you" asks Lisa
"Of course it's me, who were you expecting? Jesus?" answers Homer
"That's dad alright" jokes Bart to Lisa
"Why you little!"
Homer tries to strangle Bart just like he did when Bart was 10, but his hands pass directly through him, he tries several times, Bart laughs at his father's ghost before falling to the couch in hysterics.
"D'oh" he exclaims
"Quiet Bart." Says Lisa "We missed you dad."
"We missed you three kids too, Lisa" says Homer, turning to Lisa. "but that's not why I'm here"
"Then cut to the chase, baldie" says Maggie
"Maggie, it's great to hear your voice" Homer replies
"No duh" Maggie says sarcastically.
"Ahem" Bart coughs
"Oh right, Marge and I have been watching your progress, we're proud of all three of you. After we heard about why we were killed, we, by which I mean I want you to get back at the guy who killed us."
"Uh Homer" said Bart, "if you hadn't figured it out by now, we were planning on doing that already"
"You were?" asks Homer, "well then... carry on"
Homer fades away.
"Well, that was weird" says Bart
"Where were we?" asks Maggie
"We were talking about how to go deal with this Wade Durnt character" replies Lisa.
"Oh right" answers Maggie
"How do we go about finding him?" asks Lisa
"Easy, I already know" replies Maggie, "he has some kind of a base in Shelbyville. I've been infiltrating the place as a worker there, since I knew that I couldn't take them out on my own, I decided to wait until you guys came back in Springfield. In fact, it was me that arranged for you to come back by talking Agent Tompson into it."
"Geez Maggie, you're pretty good at this spying thing" replies Bart
"Yeah, well Moe bought me loads of infiltration video games, that's how I learned" answers Maggie.
"Maybe Tom Jackson was right, people do imitate stuff from video games" answers Bart
"Pfffft. You kidding. I know the difference between reality and a video game," answers Maggie "I wont gun down an innocent person for no reason"
"So how are going to infiltrate the base?" asks Bart
"It'll be pretty simple, I'll just say you're my assistants" answers Maggie "But I should warn you that we wont be able to fool Iroquois Pliskin, at least that's how you guys know him, he is actually called Solid Snake"
"Solid Snake? Isn't he the protagonist of that Metal Gear Solid franchise?" asks Bart
"The very same" answers Maggie "turns out that his character and movements were based on the real Solid Snake"
"He killed our parents. We have to take him out" replies Bart
"What weapons do we have?" asks Maggie
"We did have some hand pistols that Bart got, I don't know their technical name" answers Lisa
"They're M1911A1's Lis." replies Bart
"Yeah, whatever" said Lisa
"Well, they might come in handy," says Maggie "As you saw, I have an M4, I think we might need to get you a more powerful gun Bart, how are you with an AKS-74u?"
"Decent enough, I had training with a wide variety of rifles and handguns when I was in the military acadamy" replies Bart
"Okay then, Lisa, you can use both of Bart's M1911A1's at the same time." answers Maggie. "You know how to use them right?"
"Yeah, sort of" answers Lisa, with uncertainty.
"Well, I guess that's better than nothing. Lets go." says Maggie.
Bart, Lisa and Maggie leave the house, Bart gets behind the wheel of the car this time, and Maggie takes shotgun. Lisa gets in the back. Maggie guides Bart to a small house in Springfield.
"Why are we stopping here?" asks Lisa
"This is my place, I hid here away from Moe while I was not figuring crap out for this mystery" answers Maggie
"It looks like a shack" says Bart
"Yeah, well, it was cheap, I needed to remain hidden and this place is quite remote as you plainly saw" says Maggie "Now lets go"
Bart, Lisa and Maggie walk into the place where it's quite small, the size of a small apartment really.
"You guys wait here" says Maggie
Maggie goes into another room, there's various amounts of rustling and loud bangs. Maggie returns with a box in her hands.
She places it on the floor where inside is an AKs-74u and several magazines along with some more magazines for the M4.
"Here's the AK, Bart" says Maggie as she hands over the weapon to Bart, "I also have 12 magazines for you as well. I dont think you need to be told that each magazine only contains 30 rounds, in full-automatic."
"Alright, no problem for me" says Bart
"Lisa, Sorry, but I don't have any M1911A1 magazines here, so you're going to have to make do with the ones you have."
"What kind of weapons would Solid Snake be likley to use?" asks Lisa
"Snake is a master of all trades, he can use hand pistols, sniper rifles, automatics and various types of missile and grenade launchers, so from him I cant really say, I do know that his Berreta M92F has now gone out of fashion and become a tranquilliser gun, so he now favours a USP for his hand gun and a FAMAS as his machine gun. Both pack quite a punch, but I think that we can take him on." states Maggie
"So will it be three on one?" asks Bart
"Most Probably. Once Snake is out, Durnt will be easy to deal with" replies Maggie. "anyways, lets go"
Bart, Lisa and Maggie take their equipment and leave the place, again Maggie leads Bart to Durnt's compound in Shelbyville. Bart, Lisa and Maggie arm themselves, walk inside the building following several paths to a big wooden door.
"Before we go, Lisa, you should probably only cover me and Bart as your bullets aren't as powerful as ours, when we're reloading, you strike" says Bart
Maggie opens the door. Inside is Wade Durnt and Solid Snake.
"YOU!" Screams Bart pointing his AK at Snake's face, Maggie quickly joins in with posting her M4 at Snake as well.
"Who are you?" says Snake
"We're the Simpsons. Twenty years ago, you killed our parents, Homer and Marge Simpson" says Bart
"So you're the ones who we couldn't find for twenty years, how convenient" says Wade
"Yeah? Well, I found you two years ago" says Maggie "How do you think my brother and sister got here?"
"So you were MAGS?" says Snake
"That's right" replies Maggie. "Now prepare to meet your maker Snake!"
Maggie starts to shoot from her M4. Bart and Lisa quickly dive behind some boxes, as Wade and Snake do the same.
"Wade, stay down!" screams Snake
Maggie dives behind the box that Lisa jumped behind. Bart pops his AK out from behind the box and starts to shoot in Snake's direction, he wastes about 20 bullets as each one misses.
"Damn it. He's too good." cries Bart
"I did warn you Bart" says Maggie "but we have to try our best"
Bart and Maggie fire in Snake's direction, Bart runs out of ammo in his magazine first, while Maggie continues until she runs out too.
"Do either of you guys know how to hit him?" says Lisa
"Well Lis, I don't see you trying" states Bart
"It's obvious that he's too good, if he's a character based in a video game use the tactics he uses in those games against him" says Lisa
"But Lis, that wont work" states Maggie "you play as him, his tactics are your tactics"
"Then try and get at him from behind" says Lisa.
Suddenly, Snake pulls a USP handgun in Lisa and Maggie's faces.
"I'm afraid that wont work this time, ladies" says Snake.
Lisa and Maggie quickly see that Snake is above them, Bart looks at them having reloaded his AK pointing it at Snake.
"You better put that gun down or these two see a bullet in their head" states Snake.
"We shouldn't forget about you. Brother" said a mysterious British voice.
