Tales From a Console
Chapter 1
disclaimer i own nothing except OC's
The scene opened to a knight warily approaching a dark and foreboding tower. Drawing his sword, he made his way inside. Turning quickly, he raised his shield just as two arrows struck it. Lowering the shield, the knight charged towards a pair of skeletons wielding bows. He decapitated the closest, before quickly slicing the second straight down the middle.
Picking up a bow and a quiver full of arrows he pressed on, eventually finding a set of stairs leading down into the earth. Reaching the bottom he continued down a long hallway, peeking around the corner he saw a shambling corpse further up the hall. Inching around he notched an arrow and pulled back. Before he could fire, the zombie turned to see him, and moaned loudly.
Almost immediately a swarm started to gather, cursing to himself, the knight let the arrow fly, hitting the moaning zombie in the head, killing it. Drawing his sword, the knight started hacking and slashing at the oncoming mass of flesh-eaters. Eventually he was backed into a corner. The large conclave of grabbing hands finally ripped his shield and sword from him, moments before the hoard engulfed, and devoured him.
YOU DIED
"Dammit!" Russell exclaimed, tossing the PS3 controller down. "This game fucking cheats!"
"Dude what's wrong?" Bren asked, as he came out of the kitchen, carrying a plate of pizza rolls. "Your not gonna get anywhere getting angry over dieing once. Let me try."
Russell begrudging handed the controller over to the other teen.
The wizard made it only slightly farther than the knight, but; was killed by a bolder dropped by a Cyclops.
"Your right this fucking game cheats!" Bren exclaimed, before turning the console off, and switching over to the Xbox 360. "Lets play some Halo Reach."
Team Deathmatch!
The round started, Bren in complete black armor, Russell in silver Elite armor.
"Why do you always pick Elite?" Bren asked. "Your just making yourself stick out more-"
He was cutoff by a sniper bullet blowing his head off. Russell quickly ran for cover, as Bren respawned.
"Alright who did that?" he asked, looking around. "I'm gonna find you, and when I-"
Once again, a sniper round nailed him between the eyes.
"Jeeze, talk about a bad start," Russell said, before moving along the wall. "I should start off by finding the douche sniping at us. Then me and Bren can-"
As he turned the corner, Russell was met by a Spartan in red and green armor, and a shotgun. He only had time to take a step back before the shotgun blast killed him.
Bren crouched behind cover, and waited for Russell to respawn. He didn't have to wait long before he was joined by the Elite.
"So how many guys we dealing with here?" Russell asked. "10? 50? 100?"
"2," Bren replied. "Its just two."
"What really?" Russell asked. "Who are they?"
"Here are their gamer tags," Bren said.
Badd_Dogg_Novelist
Future_Overlord_01
"Those aren't as cool as ours," Russell replied.
Vast Germ
Titanwolf89
"Do they have mics?" Russell asked, as a bullet whizzed by his head.
"Hold on, let me un mute them," Bren said, several seconds passed before they picked up chatter from their opponents.
"Brian, I'll keep them pinned down from up here," one of them said ."You circle around and finish them."
"Why do I have to do it?" the other asked. "Why can't I snipe them and you go down and finish them?"
"Because I said so that's why!" the first exclaimed.
Russell and Bren peaked over to see the two arguing about who would snipe.
"Ok there's 30 seconds left on the clock," Bren said. "We just need to kill them both with one shot to win. Think you can distract them long enough for me to get into position?"
"Of course," Russell said. "Remember, I'm the guy who caught Sneakers O'Toole.
[cutaway]
"I'm not taking my sneakers off I am Sneakers O'Toole," Sneakers sang as he walked down the sidewalk.
"Hey take those sneakers off!" Russell ordered, as he and another man in a suit blocked Sneaker's way.
"No!" he replied.
"Take those sneakers off!" Russell ordered again.
"No!" Sneakers shouted, before running past them. As Russell made to follow the other man grabbed his arm.
"We won't catch him in these flat shoes," he said, as Russell pulled his arm free.
"The hell we won't!" Russell exclaimed, reaching into his jacket he pulled out a pistol, aimed, and fired several shots, a thump was heard.
[cutaway over]
"Oh crap that cutaway took too long!" Bren exclaimed. "We only have 5 seconds!"
Tossing a grenade, the two watched as it landed right between the other two Spartans, who looked down at it.
"Brian,"
"Yeah,"
"You fucking suck,"
The grenade went off, killing both of them.
GAME OVER
"We won!" Bren exclaimed, jumping up. "Dude we totally -"
Russell saw a look of horror cross Bren's face. Looking to the window, he saw a girl's head peeking up over the sill, her eyes were looking at Bren with lust and wanting.
"I'll take care of her," Russell said, as he stood up, he walked over to the window. "Bye Di."
Pulling the board from the window, he watched as it slammed shut. Di screamed, and her head disappeared from the window. A thud was heard followed by a car horn blaring, and several sounds of car crashes.
"You think she's gone for good this time?" Bren asked.
"I doubt it," Russell replied. "Remember when we locked her in the trunk of your mom's car and pushed it into the river? or the time we tied her to the track tracks and left her there? And the time we covered her in honey and tossed her into the grizzly bear enclosure at the zoo?"
"Your right," Bren said. "She'll be back before dinner."
