Four years after Operation Intrude N313, now 1999, the Cold War has been thawed out. Nuclear proliferation seems to possibly be a thing of the past. The development of new high-tech energy sources such as fusion power were thanks to a series of shocks to the oil market. Shocks such as how vehicles required oil for power. When oil reservations hit a new time low, the world was ready for drastic measures such as drilling into sand and shale fore more oil or by moving on to renewable fuels.
These steps were not needed when Dr. Kio Marv, a Czech scientist, had successfully bio-engineered a new species of algae that he called OILIX. OILIX could produce petroleum-grade hydrocarbons with little expense and effort. This algae was presented by the Dr. in Prague to the World Energy Conference when he was kidnapped on his way to the U.S. for a demonstration. It was soldiers from Zanzibar Land that did the kidnapping. It was discovered by NATO that the leaders of Zanzibar Land planned to hold the world hostage by controlling the supply of oil and some nuclear brinkmanship with a stockpile of nukes.
FOXHOUND's new commander, Roy Campbell, brought out of retirement Solid Snake. He was sent to Zanzibar Land to rescue Dr. Marv on a mission called Operation Intrude F014. During the mission Snake had help from the likes of Natasha Markova and Holly White. Markova was a former StB agent and was also Dr. Marv's personal bodyguard. Holly White however was posing as a journalist for the CIA. They helped guide him to finding and reuniting with Dr. Petrovich Madnar. Yes, the same guy who created Metal Gear TX-55 for Outer Heaven. He was kidnapped once more and forced by the soldiers of Zanzibar Land to create another Metal Gear tank...the Metal Gear D. Before Snake left that area, Madnar also informs him who is leading Zanzibar Land's uprising, his former commander, the legendary Big Boss. He apparently didn't die in the destruction of Outer Heaven. During his mission, an anonymous person gave hints to Snake on how to overcome certain obstacles and traps. The person didn't reveal himself until Snake reached the suspension bridge leading to the Detention Camp.
It was there that Metal Gear D fired a missile killing Natasha and causing the recapturing of Dr. Madnar. The driver of the Metal Gear revealed himself as the one to give out the hints and that he is...GRAY FOX~!~ Snake was determined even more to reach Dr. Madnar. He was able to single-handedly defeat Zanzibar Land's elite mercenary force. Those mercenaries were Black Ninja, Running Man, Red Blaster, Four Horsemen, Predator and Night Fright. Former Outer Heaven resistance leader Kyle Schneider was revealed to be the mercenary Black Ninja. After defeating them all, Snake reaches Dr. Marv's cell.
Once in, he just finds Marv's corpse and a petrified Dr. Madnar. He told Snake that Marv couldn't survive all the torture sessions and how he was unable to save Marv himself. Snake went to go collect the OILIX formula left by Marv when Holly reveals to Snake that Dr. Madnar was never captured...he was voluntarily overseeing the development of Metal Gear D! As soon as the news breaks, Madnar attacks Snake but was killed himself.
Snake grabbed the OILIX formula and on his way out he was confronted by Metal Gear D piloted by Gray Fox himself. Snake destroys the Metal Gear and confronted Gray Fox in a minefield. They fought using CQC until one was emerged the victor. That was Snake who then tossed Fox onto a mine and left him behind for dead as he continued on for one last battle with Big Boss. With no weapons, Snake improvised and made himself a flamethrower just with a cigarette lighter and a can of hairspray. It was this improvisement that helped him char Big Boss' body and kill him for good.
