PlayStation All Stars Assemble!
Chapter 1: The Beginning…
"Ezio, report" said the Oracle as the immortal 16th century assassin knelt before the age-old artificial intelligence
"what is it, milady?" Ezio asked
"There is darkness rising in The Network. Handsome Jack and Clockwerk have betrayed us and are assembling an army of the most deadly video game villains to destroy the Prime PSN Trophy. They must be stopped or all of gamekind will perish" the Oracle spoke
"What must I do, master?" Ezio asked hopeful
"I want to assemble an army of some of the greatest video game heroes on this planet. Find them and bring them to me. It is time for the AllStars Initiative to begin" The Oracle announced
"Yes Master" Ezio obeyed, bowing down as he went through the portal. Unbeknownst to him, The Oracle started to glitch
In Paris, France…
"Yo, Carmelita! Neyla! Still dating?" Sly Cooper asked, dodging shock pistol blasts and whip cracks from Carmelita Fox and her partner/lover Constable Neyla
"he's quite cheeky, isn't he dear?" Neyla smirked as Carmelita cornered him before a bright light shone in the sky and Sly, Carmelita and Neyla were sucked into the light
In Australia…
"Mark my words, infernal bandicoot! I WILL destroy you" Dr. Neo Cortex as the anthropomorphic Australian bandicoot Crash dodged laser blasts alongside his sister and brother Crunch and Coco; father and mentor Aku Aku and his wife Tawna before a bright light appeared and sucked the bandicoots and the mask up
"what in the blazes?" Cortex gasped before a giant metal owl appeared before them
"were you looking for the bandicoots?" Clockwerk rasped in his digitized baritone voice
"what does it matter to you, birdbrain?!" Cortex asked angrily
"If you join my army, I will give you this entire island… and all the crystals" Clockwerk proposed, an evil smirk forming on Cortex's face
"I'm listening…" Cortex grinned deviously
In The Dragon Worlds…
"Man, oh, man, is Ripto pissed!" Spyro the Dragon gasped, dodging scepter flame blasts as he, his companions Elora, Hunter, Sgt. Byrd, Moneybags, Sparx and Agent 9 ran for their lives before a bright light shone and the Avalar animals were sucked up just as a man appeared
"hey, Handsome Jack here, how are you?" Jack said arrogantly, Ripto facing the narcissistic mastermind
"what do you want?" Ripto snarled
"a proposition: you help me destroy that lizard and his bandit friends, you get all of Avalar" Jack offered
"hmmm… I'm intrigued… go on…" Ripto smiled fiendishly
In Gotham City…
"HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHA!" Joker cackled maniacally, chasing after the Dark Knight Batman, his wives Vicki Vale, Talia al Ghul and Catwoman; accomplices Robin, Nightwing, Batwoman, his wife Amy Rohrbach and Green Arrow and Huntress until they disappeared through a bright light
"Hello Joker. I've seen your abilities. I have a job for you that you will most certainly enjoy…" Clockwerk proposed
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Joker cackled
"you'll have to pardon Mr. J, Mr. Clockwerk. All he does is laugh. So, what's in it for us?" Harley Quinn asked
In London, England…
"ah, 'tis a much pleasant night for adventure!" quoted Sir Daniel Fortesque as the immortal corpse warrior fought off hordes of demons until he disappeared in a bright light just as a giant green monster in heavy armour appeared
"I have an offer for you; join us, destroy The Oracle, and we'll give ya all of London. Deal?" Gnasty Gnorc offered
"we accept" the lead demon growled
In Pandora,
"whoa… what's that bright light?" Maya the Siren said in awe as she, her husband Axton, sisters Nisha, Gaige, Athena and Angel, friends Janey, Scooter, Moxxi, Felicity, Fiona, Rhys; parents Lilith, Roland and Zarpedon oh and Brick, Mordecai and Claptrap were sucked into the bright light just as a bishonen demon appeared before the monstrous cyborg Wilhelm
"I have an offer; you help me destroy The Oracle. In return, I give you the Vault Key" Sephiroth offered, Wilhelm, the loaders and the bandits bowing before him
In Haven City…
"Geez! Those Metal Heads really are angry!" Daxter gasped, as he, Jak, Ashelin, Keira, Torn, Samos, Maia and Gol ran from a charging hordes of Metal Heads and Dark Eco monsters until they vanished through a bright light
"where the hell did they go?" Baron Praxis snarled just as Handsome Jack appeared
"you hate bandits; I hate bandits. You help me kill some pests and blow up The Oracle, all of Haven City and this so called resistance will be all yours" Handsome Jack offered
"hmmm… I'm intrigued…" Baron Praxis grinned
In Thedas…
All of the Dragon Age main characters and companions vanished in a bright light
Somewhere in space…
The SR Normandy ships vanished through a magic portal
In New Haven…
The Diablo 1, 2 &3 characters and companions disappeared through the blinding portal
In New Vegas…
The Fallout 1, 2, 3, New Vegas, and 4 main protagonists and companions disappeared through a blinding portal
In The Marvel & DC Universe…
The Marvel & DC heroes and heroines disappeared through the blinding portal
In Duke Nukem's World…
"the hell?" Duke Nukem said before he and all of his superpowered, indestructible, immortal and oh so hot babes vanished through the portal
In Saints Row…
"the fuck?" The Boss gasped, as she and her Homies and Hoes vanished through the blinding portal
In Skyrim…
"what in the name of?" the Dragonborn gasped, as she, her wife Lydia, her band of female followers and mages and Legate Rikke, Balgruff, and friends of the Imperial Army vanished through the portal
In Russia…
"Snake! What the hell's going on there?" Otacon asked as he, Solid Snake, Olga Gurulokovich, Meryl Silverburgh, EVA, Emma Emmerich, Para-Medic, Raging Raven, Screaming Sparrow, Raiden and Rosemary ran from a massive Metal Gear OWL machine just as the heroes vanished through a bright portal
"ah… a product of my own design. I can use your talents for a job" Clockwerk spoke admiring the fascinating attack machine
In The Hall Of The Network…
"uhn… my head? Where… where the hell am I?" Carmelita stirred, getting up as she gasped at what she saw before her; a giant disembodied eye wreathed in techno silver and electric eyes
"Greetings, Carmelita Montoya Fox. I have been waiting for you" The Oracle said kindly just as Neyla, Spyro and the others came face to face
"who…what… what do you want from us?!" Two-Face screamed. "silence, Harvey Dent! You all have been sent here for a righteous cause. Your world and our existence is in mortal peril" The Oracle said
"what's the threat?" Maya asked, kneeling before the aging AI before grunting for the others to do so
"hey, bonehead, cant you learn to bend your knees?" Axton snarked as Fortesque shakily knelt on his bones
"Now; Clockwerk and Handsome Jack have conspired to unite with all your greatest enemies to destroy the world and rebuild it in their own image. There is a prophecy that speaks of a legend that a large group of heroes, very unique and very mismatched; will one day come together, forged in fire and blood, would rise against evil whenever it shall appear and accomplish the feats no other gamer could" The Oracle spoke
"the All Stars Initiative…" Lilith gasped in awe. "wait a sec… look, you got the wrong guys. Soldiers, vigilantes, dragons, skeletons, thieves, pirate queens, couriers, scientists, uh… light switches, security guards, yeomen, robots, animals, um, aliens… we're not the heroes you think you are" Axton said plainly
"You may be right, Axton, but you must know something" The Oracle spoke
"what is it?" Kelly Chambers asked politely
"I am slowly dying" The Oracle wheezed, everyone stunned by this
"but… you cant…" Guardian Angel said sadly
"my time is near, child. I can feel myself fading… please, I haven't much time… go, save the world… become the new rulers of The Network… be the heroes you say you are…" The Oracle gasped with her dying breath, everyone bowing their heads in sorrow
"we came here… just to watch her die?" Lilith said, shedding tears
"Do not be saddened my friends; The Oracle may have died; but she gave us an important mission. We may not know each other, and we may hate each other, but we must come together and fulfill her dying wish before all of gamekind is enslaved by darkness. The time has come for the All-Stars to assemble!" Kratos announced, everyone cheering in admiration
"who's the leader of this ragtag bunch?" Green Arrow asked
"I am" Ezio said
"ah, you're that Assassin's Creed guy" The Sole Survivor said, her lover Piper Wright aside her
"I served The Oracle as her apprentice since the dawn of The Network… now I am leader of this organization. Does anyone have any questions?" Ezio asked
"what about Batman here? He's the head honcho around here" Axton piped up, The Dark Knight nodding in affirmation
"hmmm… we will see" Ezio spoke
"I have one; who's in charge of the bad guys?" Lilith asked
"Handsome Jack thinks he is, but Clockwerk is in command. I sense Jack may want to betray Clockwerk and assume the throne of The Network for himself" Ezio said
"he doesn't sound like a nice guy at all" Bethany Hawke commented
"Neither of them are; they are the worst of the worst. They act without mercy, without emotion, and without fear. They don't care who gets in their way. They will kill every man, woman and child to get what they want" Ezio spoke
"yeah, really not very friendly people…" Aela the Huntress deadpanned
Later…
"so… um, since we're all new friends, uh, guess we'd better know each other…" Lilith said warily as she and her newfound friends were gathered in the bedroom
"I'm Lilith the Firehawk, leader of the Borderlands Crimson Raiders; this is my husband Roland, my children Maya, Gaige, Nisha, Athena and Angel; my sons in law Axton, Rhys, Vaughn, Zer0; my sisters Moxxi, Felicity, Zarpedon; and my daughter in law Fiona oh and our companions Brick, Mordecai… and Claptrap" Lilith introduced
"I'm Aela the Huntress. It is an honor to fight alongside you people" Aela said, bowing
"I am Kratos, God of War. I will follow your lead wherever" Kratos vowed
"Athena, Goddess of Wisdom. I shall do whatever you ask to honour The Oracle" Athena spoke
"Artemis, Goddess of War. It is a pleasure to meet such legendary people" Artemis spoke
"Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons and Founder of the JLA, at your service" Hippolyta spoke
"I'm Janet the Wanderer, these are my twins Lana the Courier, Jamie the Sole Survivor, Kristina the Follower, Amber the Vault Dweller and these are our companions" Janet announced
"hey! What about us?" Light Switch 1 said irately
"oh, sorry, these are our artificially intelligent light switches. Wherever we go, they go" Janet said
"I'm Spyro. This is my dragonfly Sparx and these are my allies" Spyro announced
"did… did that dragon just speak?" Aela gasped, stunned
"uh duh" Spyro deadpanned
"never thought I'd see the day I'd come face to face with a purple dragon" The Dragonborn remarked
"I'm Crash, this is my sister Coco, brother Crunch, wife Tawna, cousin Pasadena oh and my pa Aku Aku" Crash announced
"I have heard many things about you; you've come from different worlds, different times and different lives to band together for a righteous cause. I will serve as your mentor as you must train before engaging in battle" Aku Aku spoke
"fair enough" Roland spoke
"hey, wait a sec, what if one of them is a spy for Handsome Jack?" Mordecai asked nervously
"don't be silly Mordy, none of us are traitors" Neyla said completely sincerely, everyone's eyes on Claptrap who was communicating to… someone on his ECHO
"who you talking to, little guy?" Moxxi asked nervously before screaming as she came face to face with Handsome Jack himself
"Thanks a lot, Claptrap. So this is the mighty All-Stars, huh? PATHETIC! You- you idiots really think you can stop ME?!" Handsome Jack taunted
"Claptrap… why?" Lilith gasped
"all of you never respected me after all I did for you… so Jack paid me thirty silver Eridium coins to point you guys out" Claptrap explained
"just like Judas Iscariot in the Bible…" Joshua Graham said mournfully
"look Jack, I don't know you, but obviously you're really bad news, so why don't you leave us all alone and go terrorize someone else?" Crash asked
"oh gee, I'd love to. But this place would be really perfect to build a new Opportunity… on top of all your graves!" Jack sneered menacingly
"you wont get away with this" Kratos vowed
"Claptrap… I'm bored. Kill them all. And the children" Jack ordered
"WHAT? No! THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL?" Claptrap gasped in shock before Jack shot him in the eye
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Maya yelled
"eh, he was a piece of shit anyway. So, see you around, losers!" Jack said rudely, he and the villains disappearing
"we're… we're all gonna die, aren't we?" Bethany said fearfully
"no, Bethany, we wont. We will stop him, I promise" Lilith said comfortingly
"minions… forgive me… I didn't mean to betray you… take my chip… remember me…" Claptrap gasped before going silent forever
"That was first blood. After one falls, many more soon will share the same fate…" Morrigan spoke forebodingly
"now is not the time for mourning. We all must begin training to hone our powers and abilities if we are to defeat Jack and Clockwerk" Aku Aku spoke
"ok, you're the boss" Two-Face replied
"excellent. Now get some rest, all of you… we will begin training in the morning…" Aku Aku spoke
