//------------------------------// // Prolouge // Story: Doin' it Grand // by Blaze Fury //------------------------------// "Finally school is over!" I pause for a second to think, "Huh...I just realized that those twelve years of school flew by." I said in a daydream state thinking back on life. It was a good run that I had but those years had to end, now was the beginning of the rest of my boring life. I then shake my head to get those thoughts out, "Man what am I going to do in life other than play video games?" I ask aloud to no one in particular. Looking around my house after shutting the door and putting my stuff up. It was a moderate apartment, 3 bed and 2 bath with an open concept kitchen. The walls were black and the floors were a dark oak hardwood. The furniture clashed with the surroundings very well, but I still felt there could be improvements til this day. After looking around I head into my bedroom, and it's a decent living arrangement, and sometimes I wish someone lived with me but eh, whatcha gonna do? "I really should have done that this morning," I pause for a moment. "Yea I really could care less" I said as I plop myself in the bed to take a nap. After what felt like forever I awoke to the sound of my phone going off causing me to groan loudly. Having no other choice I proceeded to look at it and seeing that its my ex. Man what does she want now... well better answer it or else she'll continue calling I thought with a grumble. So I reluctantly picked up the phone and answered it. "Hey Amy, what do you what this time?" I ask slightly annoyed from just being woken up. "Well its good to talk to you too Chris. Though I just called to ask you if you're free next Friday?" she asked, and for me that was just shocking because ever sense we broke up she has been avoiding me and always asking for help for everything. I mean she wasn't a bitch or anything, it's just that her parents told her to break up with me or they would pay for the college she wanted to go to. And I completely understand that, but it still hurt. "Um... I think I may, hold on let me check," I stopped to look at my calendar and saw that I indeed had nothing to do, so I turned my attention back to Amy. "Yea i'm free. So what do you want to do?" "I was hoping that maybe we could..." she started but then trailing off. "Could what?" I ask, actually intrigued. "Well I was hoping that maybe we could I don't know.... hang out or something." she said with hope in her tone. "Well hell yea i'll hang out with you. So what time and place should we meet up?" I asked wanting to know what her plans were. "How about at noon, and meet me in the parking lot of school." she said. "Yea that's good. Hey I got to go, see ya until then." I said really wanting to get off the phone before this gets awkward, or at least more awkward than it already was. For some reason I make phone calls awkward and I never could figure it out. "'K see ya then. Bye Chris." she said as she hung up. "That was starting to get awkward for me. But at least she wants to hang out again." I said to myself. I went to try and go back to taking my nap, only for my eyes to slowly open up again after a few minutes. "Augh Damn!! Now I can't go back to sleep!!" I yelled in a fit a anger and frustration. 'Well since i'm up and its still around mid afternoon how about I put in some gaming time.' I thought as I got up and walked into the living room. I went over and turned on my Xbox before grabbing a controller and sitting down on my couch. Now before you ask, I am playing on a PS4, and I have to say it has better . Its better than dealing with all those problems the other one is having. I signed in and saw that the game I still had in was GTA, so I gave a smile as I put my mic in and started to play. 6 and a half hours "Why?! The fuck did I ever do to you guys?" I said over the mic to the people in my session. "Hey sorry Fury, but I needed some quick cash, so sorry dude for blowing up your personal vehicle." said a voice, that was from a guy by the name of F4Z3Destuer287. I mean it didn't really matter to me, he was paying the $27,500 insurance deductible. Still it pisses me off that he came after me in a damn Hydra. I just gave a sigh, one they didn't hear, before I continued the conversation. "Hey no problem dude, if I was in your shoes I would have destroyed you for the bounty." I said trying to make it sound like I wasn't pissed. "Well How about I send you a friend request?" he asked as I was bringing up his gamer card. I heard knocking coming from my front door so I guess the guys were here already. I gave a sigh as I returned my attention to the screen. "Already ahead of you." I said as I sent him a friend request. "Well dude I got to go my friends are at my door, so how about we play some more GTA 5 tomorrow?" I ask really wanting to play games with this dude again. He seemed fun, and all I really love to do is have fun. "Yea that would be awesome. I'll be on somewhere around 2 o'clock and just send me a party invite and we'll go from there. So see ya dude and have fun with your friends." he said right before I turned my Xbox off. I got up and headed over to the door, but stopped by the mirrior next to it. I looked myself over and fixed my hair before I opened he door. Standing in the doorway was two guys that were around my height and looked happy to see me. Now these guys at my door are some of my best friends and I've known them since I was in eighth grade. That was four years ago, and every since we graduated, plus before that, we've been close friends and we have helped each other through thick and thin. So today I asked them if they would be okay with coming over and hanging out. KV, or Brandon, decided to wear his Northside sweat jacket and a pair of blue jeans, and next to him was Micha. He was wearing his regular black under-armor jacket, with lime green insides, blue jeans, and polo shoes. "Whats up Chris. Guess what I brought?" KV asked, and I was starting to grow suspicious of what he had planned. Kv was always known to be unpredictable. "Well I can see you brought Micha, but let me guess you got me something that I can only do now that I'm of the legal age?" I asked because I knew he brought alcohol for me. Mainly because during my tenth grade year he said he would bring me some drinks for when I graduate and I guess he kept his promise. Also I have always wondered what it would taste like, you know after the burning in your throat. "I got some alcohol~" he said trying to sing it out. Knew it I thought as I crossed my arms. "Just to be clear, I said I would only drink one when I graduate and only one." I said in a tone where it was hard to tell what I was feeling. "Well fine only one for you, while I get the other five and the other 3 six-packs." he muttered. "Wait did you just say you bought four six-packs?" I asked with a shocked expression. "Well... yea he did. But I thought you were more of a man than that Chris, only to drink one bottle." Micha said knowing that it would strike a nerve. "I am a man! And don't you ever try questioning it! Got It!" I shouted as I grabbed a bottle and took a swing. When I did I saw that KV and Micha just smirked knowing that they got me.I didn't really care, this was good and I wasn't about to waste the chase at free beer. After about two hours of drinking me, KV and Micha, well mostly K and I, were sitting on my couch with Brandon being fast asleep and Micha sitting there reading a book. He had only managed to get a light buzz. As for me I was starting to doze off, but right before I went to sleep I thought I saw my Xbox glowing a mixture of colors from the color spectrum. But with me being the way I was at time I just decided it could just be my drunken imagination. Then I finally let the embrace of sleep take me. Somewhere in Canada In an average home lives a half Korean and half Chinese man, whom of which is currently playing GTA5 with his friends and recording his gameplay. The man goes by the name Vanoss, and right now he just got killed by none other than H2O Delirious. "Dammit Delirious!!" Vanoss yelled. "Hey I'm sorry Vanoss, but you kind of got in my-FUCK!!" said delirious but was cut off when Vanoss sniped him from where he respawned. "Fuck you Delirious!! So who wants to go on a heist-" Vanoss starts, but down in the chat it said that everyone had left. "Well they could have at least said no. That was just rude." he said slightly annoyed and hurt. But there was something wrong going on; even though they all left their avatars still haven't moved. Now if you don't know this when you leave a session normally your avatar runs away from others and when far enough despawns, but they haven't. Vanoss, or Evan started to thing about what was going on; he knew that there could be a bug in Rockstar's systems or maybe... 'It could have been delirious.' he thought. But he wouldn't get the chance to think about it anymore as his TV and playstation started to shine with a colorful spectrum colored light. That was the last thing Evan saw before he fell unconscious. Chris's POV I gave a groan as I woke with a throbbing head and a splitting headache. I really couldn't think right about "What happened..." I said before I paused to remember what had happened last night, but I could only remember one thing. " ohh wait that's right KV and Micha brought over some beer." When I took a look around I noticed that something was different, something odd about my apartment. Something very familiar about it but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. That was until a thought dawned on me, No, this cant be. I then walk to the window to confirm my suspicions, and I was right. Because right now I was in Los Santos, and if I was honest I would say I was ecstatic to be here but also scared. I was now standing in my apartment in Eclipse towers. I looked around the room and saw that Brandon was laying on the couch with an arm laying off the side and missing his jacket while Micha was sitting on the end of the couch resting his face on his fist. I looked around and continued to examine the interior of the pent house and its red and black color scheme. I could see that it was in greater detail, but then I thought came to me. All the things I had done at school was for nothing. "GOD DAMMIT!!" I yelled. "CHRIS SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Brandon yelled. Buccaneer Way, Los Santos Terminal "I still blame you Delirious." Vanoss said. "Yea yea whatever Vanoss, but I'm going to be real here. We need to figure out where we are and where everyone else is." Delirious said trying his hardest not to freak out. Right now these two widely known gamers have found themselves in Los Santos Shipping yards. As soon as delirious realized this he asked Vanoss a question in the most serious tone that vanoss has ever heard. "Evan do you know where we are at, do you recognize this place?" This question had gotten Vanoss to think until a few short seconds later he finally realized where they were. "We are at the Los Santos Terminal docks." he said. "Exactly! Now I'm going to check my contacts really quick." "Delirious i doubt its the correct time to be texting someone right about now." "I'm not texting Vanoss, I'm checking to see who else is in this lobby. And there seems to be five others, three of them are at a house in El Burro Heights, and the other two are in the industrial area of Los Santos." "Well Delirious, which one do you want to go to first?" "How about we go check out the guys in El Burro first, that way we knock out three in one go." "You know John, I may not say this a lot but you are smarter than act." Vanoss said as he got into his kuruma. "Shut up and lets just get going." Delirious said as he too got into the car and Vanoss started to drive away. The ride from the docks to the was somewhat silent. The only time when Vanoss or Delirious would talk would be to ask if the other was okay or what they would ask the new guys when they got to the house. The drive would have been shorter, but Vanoss didn't want to take any chances with the cops. After getting to over to El Burro Heights Vanoss stopped right outside and got out of the kuruma, along with Delirious. They had parked across in the driveway right in front of the garage door before they both got out. "You know John I really hope that none of the guys or girls up there are dicks." Vanoss said as he shut his door. "Yea, me too. And when we are up there call me Delirious. I don't trust them with my name yet." Delirious said as he shut his and they walked over to the front door to the house. Chris's POV "...and thats what I think has happened" I said. I had spent the past ten minutes telling these guess what I thought was going on, well I told them after they calmed down from their initial freak out. Though I feel a disturbance, almost if someone just called me a dick.... I mentally questioned my thoughts but I just shrugged it off as some weird feeling. Right now I need to get use situated and figure out what we need to do. I can't freak out in a time like this seeing how I'm the most mentally stable person in the group as of right now. "So let me get this straight," Micha started "you think that we have been displaced into a GTA universe and to not freak out about this?" He asked. "To put it short, yea." I said. Then a thought struck me, why hasn't Brandon talked at all? I looked over to him and saw that he was looking into his lap"Hey KV, you doing okay over there dude?" I asked him because with him being as quiet as he is was starting to make me worry. "Yea Chris I'm fine. Still wish that I was back home, but we could be in worse places in existence." he said, though i worried about him. I wonder what is wron- I was brought out of my thoughts as I heard someone knocking on my front door. I instinctively got "Don't worry guys, my apartment so i'll answer the door." I said as i got up and headed to the door. Though I was really curious to see who would be coming to my apartment. No one here knew use, well maybe besides the in game npc's but thats besides the point. Anyways as I got near I took a peak through the peep-hole, only to see two famous Youtubers on the other side of my door. So I undid the lock which made them stop arguing and look at the door; I opened it and with the shyest voice I could muster I said "Y-yes how m-may I help you?". As soon as I said that they physically relaxed. "We'd like to take about some things. So can we come in?" Delirious asked as he looked at me in the eyes. "S-sure." I said as I oped the door all the way. They gave a nod as they entered and I followed after shutting the door and re-locking it. When we got to the living room I saw that Micha's and KV's reation to these guys were different. Micha's was one of indifference and a hint of suspension, if his squinted eyes was a sign. KV's was one of shock at seeing these guys coming in. "Have a seat and get comfortable." I said as I grabbed a chair from the dinning table and sat down. "So how long have you guys been here?" Vanoss asked as he took his owl helmet off and placed it on the table. "Not long, about thirty minutes maybe." Mica answered. "Yea, we got drunk last night and woke up here in the living room." I said. "'We'? I think you mean you and Brandon here." Micha said as he glared at me. "I only had a few glasses of wine." "Whatever." I said before looking at Vanoss and Delirious. "So why did you guys come here?" I asked. "Because Delirious thought it would have been a good idea to see who you guys were." Vanoss said as he patted Delirious on the back once. "Did you guys ever think that maybe we could have been some assholes and killed you guys as soon as you rolled up?" I asked. "Yea, you would have never would have had a chance if we went off." KV said. "Yea I guess you do have a point." Vanoss said as he retracted his hand from Delirious and grabbed his chin. "So are you the only other people that got sent here?" Micha asked. "No, there are two more over in the industrial district of the city." Delirious said. "Do you know who they are?" I asked. "No." Vanoss said. "But we should go see who they are so we don't have any trouble down the line." Delirious said. "Good idea." I said as I got up and put the chair back at the table. "Let's go." "I'm going to have to drive my Karuma since there is more than four people." Vanoss said as everyone got up off the couch. "Cool, I was goin to take my Buffalo S. Still not enough space though." I said as we left the house. I got the buffalo out the garage and Brandon and KV went with me and Delirious went with Vanoss. I followed Vanoss all the way to where they said that the other were at, and to my shock it was more of their crew. We found Lui and Brock by the pay n' spray off of Popular street, and at first when we came up the drew their guns and aimed at us. But after they found out who some of the people were they lowered them, though I did see Lui looking at us more often than not. Anyways after we got everything settled we all headed back to my house for a big talk. We got back and I parked my car in the garage while Vanoss parked in the driveway. When I shut the garage door I lead the guys inside the house. We all sat at the dining room, my group on the side facing the wall and Vanoss's on the other side. I sat at the head of the table and Vanoss sat at the other end. "So what should we do?" I asked "Well we have weapons and military grade ordinance at our disposal, so we should make the best of it." Lui said. "By being mercenaries?" Brock asked. "No you idiot!" Delirious yelled. "Now now Delirious, Moo may be onto something. I think we should be mercenaries, just for the other side of the law." I said as I look form Brock to Delirious. "I mean when we played the game that's basically what we were." "Yea I guess." he said in defeat. "Well here is my number. I'd like to see you guys back here tomorrow so we can start planning for the future." I said as I wrote my number down and placed it on the table. "I'll let you guys get settled into this world before we start. Just remember not to do anything stupid out there. There are many thing we don't know about here and the game that are true." "Yea, you guys take care. We'll see you tomorrow." Vanoss said as they all got up and left. I locked the door behind them and walked back into the living room where KV was watching TV and Micha was reading his book. "Well this is a new start. You guys ready?" I asked as I sat next to KV. "Nope." KV said. "Not in the slightest." Micha answered. "Good." I said with a grin on my face.
