Into the Fray is the fifteenth mission of Metal Slug: 2nd Mission. Only Red Eye has access to this stage. Six prisoners exist in this stage.
Mission Synopsis[]
Red Eye travels down the Rebel base's insides and outsides. Various Rebels, vehicles, and Mars People show up for a fight.
The Reactor itself has two phases. The first is shooting off the turret that randomly shoots a stream of fire, a laser ball, or an explosive bowling ball while avoiding being crushed by a pillar. The second phase has Red Eye shooting at the Reactor's red spot. A Gatling gun occasionally appears at the center of the reactor and starts shooting from both sides of its gun at a clockwise rotation. Unlike Gimlet's fight, Red Eye starts from the right side of the Reactor rather than from the left.

A hidden route is present at the second half of the mission. In the part where Red Eye travels down an elevator and avoids missile launchers and flying Rebels, a breakable block can be found on the bottom-left corner of B-4 (the number is seen in the background). A blue-colored Rebel can be seen in the hidden room and killing him rewards a weapon powerful enough to destroy the three barriers. After fighting the Sarubia, drop down and enter the door to a new route.
