I was flying down the street in my lowrider, the pimp mobile, at over 80 mph. I was crashing into every little thing whether it be other cars, lamp poles, or people. Behind me, the sirens of eight cop cars blared and two helicopters hovered above me.
Just another normal day in GTA.
The newest update released a bunch of new planes and I was going to my new hanger at the airport to check them out.
I made a sharp turn left which resulted in me spinning out and crushing three pedestrians into the side of a building and two cop cars to then slam into me.
I was simply supposed to spawn in and drive to the airport without incident but immediately upon getting into my car I had achieved four stars. It's not my fault civilians are so shootable!
Anyway, things weren't going well. My car was completely wedged between the building and the cops so the only way out was on foot. I bailed from my car, ran away a ways while being shot heavily, then I pulled out my grenade launcher and started blowing everything up including my car.
Once everything was relatively safe, I shot the driver out of a passing car, I got in said car, and the chase continued. The car I stole was a sports car which meant I could actually drive it with some measure of control. At least I could, until I drove over a spike strip and spun out again.
God damnit.
I did the same thing I did the first time, explosions and murder, and I was driving an SUV with five stars.
Two death filled minutes later and I was finally at the airport. Things were even more chaotic here. It was a complete free-for-all war zone between me and five different players, one in a tank, two in an insurgent, one in a jet, and the final on foot.
I'll spare the next few minutes but it mostly involved me dying a lot, using up around $10,000 of ammo and explosives, and roughly 126 dead cops.
When I finally reached the hangar in one piece, the tank guy left the game, the insurgents went to go kill someone with a $9000 bounty, and the other three guys were too busy killing each other.
This was it though, the moment of truth. I was about to step inside when suddenly, me and everyone else in the server teleported to the middle of the ocean.\
God damnit.
The chat exploded into insults aimed at the hacker with only two people requesting money from him. Everything was made worse when someone decided to knife someone else and five seconds later we're 21 guys trying to stab each other in the ocean. Every time someone died the hacker would bring them back so death wasn't even an escape.
After maybe my fifth time dying, the hacker started spawning a ton of boats and lagged out the server.
Two minutes later and I finally reconnected. I had no idea where I spawned so I opened up the map and became even more confused. The map I was looking at looked nothing like Los Santos. For one, there was no airport and two, the layout was completely wrong. The city was a lot bigger than Los Santos but there was practically no wilderness area and the map wasn't an island.
I paused and unpaused the game a few times thinking that it may just be a glitch but every time I paused, I would be greeted by the same map.
Maybe there was a server glitch and it picked the wrong map? I didn't know much about servers or if a thing was even possible, or if there even was a different map, but I decided to use this to my advantage and do some exploring.
I noticed that I spawned right next to a convenience store and decided that would my first stop in this new land, I also needed to fill up on some snacks.
After a quick jog over there, I arrived at a familiar scene from a familiar web show.
Ruby Rose was battling off against Torchwick and his gang of goons.
Was this some sort of collab between Rockstar and Rooster teeth?
I decided to stand back and watch the battle.
Things were not going well for Torchwick.
It was suppose to be simple, he would rob the dust store and make his escape; that was it. But instead, here he was, battling off against a little girl wearing a red hood and wielding a giant gun-scythe.
Things were not going well indeed.
Red had already taken out most of his thugs and it would soon be his turn. Things were only more complicated when another guy showed up who was dressed even more ridiculously than Red. He was wearing a top hat, swimming shorts, and that was it. The guy didn't even have any visible weapons but Torchwick decided it was better to be safe than sorry and he ordered his men to attack the new arrival.
Ow, ow, ow! Why the hell were they shooting at me?! I was just standing there, not doing anything and- Ow! they started shooting at me. Their weapons did a lot of damage and I was losing health fast. I ran and tried to eat some snack to regain my health but then I remembered that I was out of snacks.
Then I died.
His men opened fire on the new arrival without hesitation.
When the guy tried to run away and they noticed he didn't have any aura, Torchwick realized he may have just killed a civilian. Oops. Torchwick was about to turn his attention back to Red when he noticed that the dead body literally disappeared before his very eyes leaving behind nothing but a pool of blood. What just happened?
Oh, these fuckers were going to get it.
As soon as I respawned, I whipped out my advanced rifle and went to town on everyone that was shooting at me. They looked stunned at first, like they didn't understand how I was alive, but that quickly changed when I unloaded five rounds into one guy's face. He didn't die, surprisingly, but the solution to that was simple: more bullets.
Torchwick and his men didn't understand.
They had killed the guy! How was he alive! They didn't have time to ask though because he had pulled an assault rifle out of nowhere and started shooting them. Within 30 seconds, the six men he had told to kill the guy were dead themselves and the men he sent to deal with Red were knocked out. He decided it was time to get the fuck outta there.
Right as I finished killing the guys that shot me, a cut scene began. It was exactly like the show, where Ruby had just finished defeating Torchwick's goons, only I was standing right next to her.
"Well Red and Tophat, I think we can all say it's been an eventful evening," Torchwick said to us, "And as much as I'd love to stick around, I'm afraid this is where we part ways."
Then, still in the cut scene, he shot a rocket at us. Ruby jumped over it while I jumped to the side. Next, it cut to Torchwick climbing a ladder and then it cut to Ruby asking the store owner if she could go after him. Finally, the cutscene ended and at the bottom of my screen was my new objective. One word and one name: Kill Torchwick.
By the time I got up the ladder, Torchwick had already made his escape and I got a message:
Mission Failed
Torchwick escaped
Glynda was also there and next thing I know, she's using her semblance on me and I'm given another message:
Busted
God damnit.
A/N
I had this idea roughly an hour ago while I was sitting on the toilet and decided to write it because I had nothing better to do. That's all there really is too it. This is a one shot for now but I may write more in the future. If someone else wants to have this story though, they can gladly have it. The next chapters for my two other fics are on their way, I just have to start writing them, but then next time I'll probably see any of you is when they get updated. Bye.
