Authors note: Hello everyone! So recently I've decided to replay Grand Theft Auto for the billionth time. While I was watching one of the cut scenes, I thought, "Why not make a STH version of this?". Which is what I'm doing now! Not a lot of my friends like playing it, but I find it very entertaining lol. I'll probably won't make the story the exact same thing as the game because of various plots and many characters that are involved. If anything, the name of the city and different locations will be named the same as it is in the game, and possibly not every scene will be in this story. BUT! I promise you to make it entertaining as possible.

Enjoy!

Prologue

Ludendorff, North Yankton

Nine years ago

It was in the middle of winter in North Yankton. The snow around the small town was piled up all over the sidewalks and buildings. People were bundled up in multiple layers of clothing as they walked the snowy streets to where they need to be. Some people were enjoying the cold wheater as they either made multiple snow men on the sidewalks. Some even had snow ball fights with each other.

Amongst the joyous atmosphere, three mysterious hedgehogs in a van were parked further away. They all had multiple layers of clothing on to protect themselves from the cold, including ski mask to cover their identity. One hedgehog had icy blue eyes. The second second hedgehog had beautiful green eyes. And lastly, the third hedgehog had very intense red eyes.

The three of them had loaded guns, ready to take down anybody who got in their way. The hedgehog with the red eyes got out of the van and checked his surroundings to make sure that nobody noticed them. When all was clear, he signaled for his friends to follow.

They made their in front of a bank, with empty duffle bags ready to be filled with stacks upon stacks of money. Without warning, the green eyed hedgehog busted the doors down with his heavy foot.

"GET DOWN! EVERYBODY GET THE FUCK DOWN NOW!" yelled the blue eyed on as he wailed his gun around, scaring the people inside. The only people inside the bank at the time were just the employees, which made the robbery easier for the criminals.

"As long as you all follow what we say, nobody gets hurt." said the red eyed one with such a stern and deep voice. As the two criminals aimed their guns at the bank tellers to keep them quiet, the green eyed on busted the door down that goes behind the bank tellers window.

"P-Please! Don't hurt us!" pleaded a male cat as he fell to his knees. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!" yelled green eyes. The red eyed criminal came next to his fellow robber to go to the back to steal the money. Before he reached the door, he noticed on of the employees tried to push the button under her desk to summon the police. "Don't even think about it before I shoot that hand off!"

He quickly made the employees hide in the closet so they could get to business. The one with the icy blue eyes took out a cell phone and pressed a few buttons. About ten seconds later, the safe in the back of the building exploded, leaving a huge hole in the wall as easy access to the money.

The three bank robbers ran down the halls to the back of the building.

"Alright, you boys ready?!"

"Show me the money baby!"

"Let's do this!"

The soon reached the room with the cash and quickly began to stuff as much cash as they can into their duffle bags. "Wow! There's enough money to fill a pool with man!" said one of the robbers as he collected the cash.

"Once this is over, you can do whatever you want with your cut."

After about five mintues, their bags were filled, and they left the room and walked down the hall. As they turned the corner, a cop who was hiding behind the corner grabbed one of the robbers from behind and put a gun to his head. "Got'cha!"

The cop then yanked the mask of the robbers face, revealing a black hedgehog with crimson red stripes in his quills. "I know your face now you little punk." The ebony hedgehog rolled his eyes. "Have fun then. I'll be haunting you in your nightmares, pal."

The robber with the green eyes turned and noticed the cop was holding his friend from behind. He aimed his gun and skillfully shot the cop right in the middle of his head. He dropped dead to the floor, releasing his hold on the robber.

"Fuck man! You almost shot me!" yelled the ebony hedgehog as he regained his composure. "Well you're still breathing. Now let's get going!"

The all ran down to the back exit of the bank. The blue eyed hedgehog placed a bomb on the door, took cover behind some boxes, and dialed his phone again. In a matter of seconds, the metal door exploded. As they ran to the exit, the sounds of sirens were heard in the distance. "Shit! The cops are right outside!" exclaimed the green eyed hedgehog. "Let's show we're not fucking around then."

The three started to shoot at the cops as they stood behind boxes or walls for cover. A cop car came approaching quickly, but the ebony hedgehog had a clear target and shot the driver in the head, causing the car to run over five other cops.

After ten minutes with the gun battle, the three made it to their getaway car and drove off. The ebony one was the driver and was speeding like a mad man down the road. Suddenly, they heard more sirens hot on their tail. "Ah fuck, there's more of them."

"Just drive! We'll hold them off!" the other two robbers reached out from the back seat windows and began shooting at the cop car behind them. Eventually, the bullets busted the wheels of the cop car, causing the driver to drive straight into a tree.

"Now that that's over, we need to hurry and get to the chopper." Stated the blue eyed hedgehog as he reloaded his gun. As the black hedgehog was driving down the road, he noticed up ahead the road was blocked. He made a sharp right and sped up again.

"We gotta beat the train!" exclaimed the hedgehog with green eyes as he started at the approaching train. Just as the car passed the train tracks, the train hit the back of the van, causing it to spin out and hit a tree.

"Fuck…you guys okay?" asked the driver as he grabbed his head. The green eyed one got out the van as he dusted himself off. "We're good. Let's go, we can make it to the chopper if we walk this way." He started to walk when the ebony one stopped him. As he got out the van, he said "No! We're sticking to the damn plan!"

As they all walked down the snowy road, a cop was hiding behind a building. He aimed and fired at one of the criminals.

"SHIT!"

"It's the fucking cops! Their on to us!"

The ebony hedgehog ran over to his blue eyed friend and kneeled down. "Scourge will be okay! But we have to take cover before they get us!"

As if on que, the ebony hedgehog was also shot down to the ice cold ground.

"Sonic! You gotta get out of here!" yelled the red eyed hedgehog.

"I'm not leaving without you Shadow!"

"I'm gonna fucking bleed out man! Just go! NOW!"

More cop cars were coming to the scene to finish what they started. Sonic took one last look at his friends and ran for it down the road, with cops running after him.

...

In the graveyard, a small group of people followed by a priest were huddled around a grave. Inside was a casket that was placed inside the grave. After they shared a few last words, they left the grave site. The tombstone said 'Shadow T. Hedgehog'.

Once the coast was clear, a hooded figure walked up in front of the tombstone. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. He took a long drag as he started on the grave site. After a few short moments, he turned at exhaled the smoke.

As he left the graveyard, he pulled off his hood and continued to smoke.

It was Shadow the Hedgehog himself.
