Grand Theft Auto: Max Payne In Liberty City

Chapter Zero-Subway Shootout

I had fallen asleep I my car, being up for two straight days wasn't going to help. I woke up around 7 p.m. heading home; I stopped myself from buying a cup of coffee.

My leg started to hurt again, from that accident all those days ago. I drove to my apartment, and took some painkillers to ease the pain. I couldn't sleep.

I opened my door, and walked into a hall, a T shaped hall. Out one of the windows was another apartment building. The constant flash of lightning disturbed the quietness of the rainfall.

I was tired. I stood looking out the window, as if into void to another world. That's what I get fro not sleeping. I nearly fell asleep there. A familiar sound sparked my attention.

Over the street was a man dressed in a terrorist suit, aiming a Semi-automatic Sniper rifle at Max. The bullet left the barrel, spinning through the air at an amazingly fast speed. Going through the window, it enters Max's black coat

I felt it hit me, hard. I wasn't expecting it. My body thrashed against the wall behind me, I felt a sharp pain, and what sounded like glass shatter. Next thing I knew I was on the floor, staring into darkness.

Minutes later, I felt a piercing pain on the back of my head, not as bad as my arm. The sound of shuffling footsteps in the background. They were out for me.

Two door opened, four men ran up to the intersection, staring at me, they slowly approached.

I was helpless. Catching my breath, without a weapon.

A loud bang, a man dressed in a long coat walked up to the men.

"Get fuck outta here kid! Unless you wan to die." A man threatened, with his 9mm pistol.

"You just gave yourself a death ticket." He opened his coat to an arsenal of weapons. The terrorists' eyes widened. He jumped between two of the, pulling out dual Beretta 9mm, in the air he turned, shooting two men, putting two bullets in their chests each.

Still in the air, he turned, with each gun, shooting the last two men in the heads. A man came through the door behind him. Landing on his back, he put 4 bullets in him.

The door beside him burst open, "DIE!" The man yelled with a shotgun. He jumped to him feet, dodging the shotgun shot, knocking it out of his hands; he then kicked the man in the head, breaking his neck.

He stood in front of me, reloading his pistols. He spun his pistols on his fingers, into his holsters on the side of his torso.

He took out a massively huge Magnum Revolver. He aimed it at a door, which began to open, and fired. He nearly fell down, the recoil was so large.

There was now a hole in the door, and two men fell out of it, with holes in their stomachs.

He put another bullet into his Magnum, and put it away. He grabbed the shotgun in his right hand, and walked over to me.

I was laying in a small puddle of blood, dirt covered me, as a plant fell on me when I was shot in my arm (which is why my head hurts). He put his hand down to me, and helped me up.

"Damn, I'm glad you're on my side." I said.

Jack responded, "Take this." He handed me the shotgun. "Let's go get you patched up."

My brother and I went to the hospital, and got my gunshot wound taken care of. We then walked out of the hospital. I negotiated my way out early.

The night was still young. The streets wet with rain. We got into a car. "I think that guy was an assassin." My brother said.

"No shit."

"Yeah, well, I was looking after you for a while, this man has been following you, so I followed him."

"Why didn't you tell me you were in town?"

"Well… I didn't want to be a… distraction. You always take care of me, and I wanted to take care of you for once."

"Okay, so where did he go?"

"I know he rides the subway a lot, our best bet would be to find him there."

"Let's go, Jack."

And so we drove to the subway station, in southern Staunton Island. The air was full of commotion, people everywhere, cars honking, rain falling, lightning in the background; we walked down into the subway station.

This was as shity move, as they were expecting us; I was being "hunted" by these guys.

As we got to the bottom, not many people were there, only about, maybe around 15 civilians. The roars of a subway train in the background; a man to my left jumped up.

The next thing I remember is raining plaster and debris form the wall behind us, my brother hit the ground, pulling out his pistols, I rolled out of the way, taking cover behind a pillar.

My ears hurt because of the screaming, civilians shouting, and screaming, desperate to reach safety outside of the subway. In about a minute, the subway was deserted.

I lost track of Jack, who I last say running across the subway tracks, to the other side. The assassin must have an MP5, by the sound of the weapon.

As I stood behind the pillar, more bullets rang out in my direction; I blindly shot back after they temporarily stopped.

To my right, were the stairs. I looked up, about 6 men were running down, all with MP5's and M4's, Dressed in black suits, with ski masks on. They looked like bad asses, until one of the idiots tripped as they were running down the stairs, tumbling down, as the others laughed.

I ran out of sight, behind a different pillar. Now I was screwed, I was behind a pillar, to my back left, a trained assassin with an MP5, to my right, 6 terrorists who probably also want to kill me.

Upon the two subway tracks, on the one further away from me, came one, and ANOTHER group of terrorists filtered out of the train, wearing the same stuff the stair guys were.

There was a problem, they could see me, when the subway train left, they would. I had two 9mm pistols and a Tactical 12-Gauge on me. I loaded them up, and with my pistols out, I dashed to my left, shooting amongst the pillars; hoping to get a hit.

The assassin was right ahead of me, I took cover behind a pillar.

"OVER THERE!" A man yelled, at the stairs, pointing at me. AT this point I shifted areas, and ran around the pillar, grabbing the assassin and throwing him out in the open, as I expected, he was covered in bullets, and in a large blood pool on the floor.

The subway train left, the other group spotted me. I was really screwed now, they all knew where I was, and I was trapped between the wall of the side of the subway, and a wall of the ticket kiosk.

I picked up the assassins "MP5" which looked like it was somehow modified. The terrorists neared, I had no escape; until I saw my brother… He had an M60! On the other side of the subway, he yelled "MAX! GET DOWN!"

Then dust filled the air so much it was hard to see, the bullets chipped away at the walls, and pillars, men falling by the second, in showers of blood.

After it stopped, I knew some were still alive. A Train pulled up, on my side this time.

"The train!" I yelled.

"Okay!" Jack responded. We boarded it, at the back. Just as we had thought, loads of terrorists were on the train. After a few minutes of silence, the train left the station, then 3 terrorists came through the door, guns blazing, trying to kill us. I took all of them out easily with the 12-Guage, as they had crappy aim.

FRONT TRAIN

"Sir, they are onboard."

"Okay," (over a radio) "You are gonna wasn't to get of the train, comrade. Put it on maximum speed, and don't EVER stop it. If I use this system, I can make a"

BACK OF TRAIN

"Okay, you wanna have fun and clear the train of the bitches?" Jack asked.

I reloaded my weapons and responded, "Let's go." We walked into the next car.
