Disclaimer: The following is a KhaosOmega fanfic. The only things i own are certain characters (including Jet Brazie, who i based on myself, and Jace Davies); everything else belongs to their respective owners. Please support the official release.
Chapter Summary: With multiple 30-player races being started up, the Angels decide to join randomly, see whose race they end up in. This part of chapter 2 - all parts run concurrently but in different races - features In the Wings, the air race from the Achievement Hunter Let's Play in GTA V under the name 'Maximum Multiplayer'. GTA Rules are on, and since the vehicles are only either Lazers or Hydras, things are gonna get crazy and fast.
With that, let the madness begin!
Chapter 2A: Lazers, Hydras, and a GTA Race?! Total Insanity!
Ranpha found herself in a lobby for an air race.
"Wow, talk about lucky. We got OZ, GX, and now ZVE in the same race." a female voice, which the lobby screen revealed came from 'SkyBurner394X', stated.
"I'm gonna guess you're the GX version of me, since your gamertag includes the letter X. But where'd you come up with 'SkyBurner'?"
"Combination of Destiny: The Taken King, and the fact my Emblem Frame's the fastest of my team. And by team i don't mean the Angel Squadron as a whole, i mean the portion made up of GX Moon Angels."
"Ah, okay. That clears up one question i had comin', but who's the OZ version of me?"
"StarFighter412 is. Funny part is she and i both kept our original first names when joining XQ way back when. I took on Hollie's surname when i joined, while the OZ variant of me swapped hers for some classmate of Jet's he refers to as Chip."
"I'm right here, you know." a male voice spoke up.
"Wait, there's a Main division guy in here?" Ranpha (the ZVE one) asked.
"What, you thought only Rainbow Angels were into video games?" Chip asked back. "Jet's the only male gamer who ISN'T of the Main Division, considering he's the leader of the Rainbow Angels."
"Understandable. Tyra's ZVE variant joined them after the Rune team she was part of as well as my Moon group joined the Angel Squadron. Surprised the heck outta me when i learned how she got her ballet boots, and when she revealed she used that to obtain them was quite shocking. At least she and Kahlua now have separate bodies so Tequila could have the ballet boots permanently locked on without Kahlua complaining about them as often as i heard she did."
"Speaking of Tequila, i heard she did some sniping in that freeroam session earlier."
"She was, until Holly N got her. I was the first one she sniped, not to mention run over five times, two on bad spawns, by supercars - still don't know which one Deluxe flattened me with - along with a mugger-driven firetruck that came outta bloody nowhere and a bad spawn where i got crushed by the debris from my mid-air collision with my homeworld's Tact preceding Anise flattening me with her T20. She and Jace have had this game for seven months but the rank difference is unreal, Jace is only a 7 whereas Anise is at 218."
"I saw him in GTA Online once about seven months back, but since then every time i saw he was playing GTA V he was always in story mode while Anise played a lot of Online."
"So, Chip, i take it the name Jet calls you by is an alternate name."
"Yup." Chip stated. "Full first name's Charles. Not the only one named Charles that Jet doesn't refer to by that name; his brother Storm's teammate in their version of legendary WWE tag team D-Generation X has that name but Jet and Storm call him Chucky."
"How long has Jet known him?"
"Since middle school; heck, there was a stretch when they lived practically right across the street from each other."
"Who's the host?" someone asked.
"So, either Lazers or Hydras, eh?" another person asked seconds later. A minute later the race was on.
Ranpha's jaw dropped ten seconds afterwards.
"Alright, WHO FUCKING TURNED GTA RULES ON?!" she shouted. What happened next was a massive chain reaction of kills in a matter of three seconds.

"You and Lily ended up here too, Forte?" Ranpha asked, having recognized two gamertags in the spree.
"Who the heck killed me?" Forte asked. "The Rainbow Angel variant of G18 got Lily, and i think Ranpha ran into Aiden's wreckage following her run in with SideArms."
"That's definitely Aiden's gamertag. By the looks of it, you and Ranpha's GX variant were shot down by Elise before she hit Aiden's wreckage a split second after it took your Ranpha down." Chitose Karasuma (the OZ Chitose specifically, who had been ahead of the chain reaction) stated. "Chip ran into SkyBurner's wreckage, sending his wreckage into Chucky, who wiped out both Marissa and the Rainbow Angel variant of Sp33dy with his. The latter caught G18, whose wreckage Lily then ran into."
"Wait, isn't Aiden part of Kordelia's group?" Lily asked.
"Yeah." a new female voice answered. "It was Ava who located me back in 2034, not long after she found Kordelia; ZJ830R was with me, in part because she was needed for my Bond activation."
RuniteHunter88 obliterated Blonde_Thunder
"WHO SHOT ME DOWN?!" Ranpha yelled.
"I was aiming for Elise, you flew in the way!"
"Machinegun?"
"Yup."
"Oh, that might explain it."
"BAD SPAWN!" someone in front yelled out.
"Damn, that was close!" Lily exclaimed.
"I MISSED THE FUCKING CHECKPOINT!" Ranpha shouted.
Basically the race went poorly for Ranpha, as either she missed a checkpoint or was shot down just before she got one.

"AW MAN! I got listed last!" Ranpha complained. "Mostly 'cause i can't fly for shit, i kept missing checkpoints."
"Or got shot down, i saw you pop up as being killed by someone else a good twenty times." a female pointed out. "Then again you ARE only a Rank 4. How long have you been playing?"
"Just got the game recently. In fact, everyone from my homeworld sans two - one of whom is only a Rank 7 despite how long he's had this game - only just started playing earlier today. Eclipse, what happened to you? You were in a bit of a lead at the time of the pileup."
"Marissa shot me down."
"How'd she catch up to you? She was involved in the pileup."
"May have spawned in a bad spot a couple times after hitting that building."
"Oh, was that you who bounced off the side of the Maze Bank?" Chip asked.
"No, the building i hit was much closer to the ground, i dove down to avoid someone and didn't pull up in time."
"Anyone know where the rest of my group ended up?" Ranpha asked.
"By the sounds of it Milfie and Rico got Genevieve's race, along with Maranda, Kaelynne, and Arielle. As for the Rank 7 you mentioned, he, his Anise, and Natsume got the same race Shantae's in."
"How the heck do you know that, Marissa?" Ranpha questioned, clearly confused.
"Easy. Genevieve and Shantae are both Deltas like me. Numbers 6 and 3 respectively, in fact."
"And your number?"
"5. I originally encountered Jet in the Pokemon world of RSX, but while there there was an incident where his original scouter was destroyed while he had been blinded by a surprise Solar Flare. Sure, he was beyond pissed when that happened - that was decades before he started using his Top 5 Sequence - but it faded a lot quicker than anyone anticipated when he realized he had an excuse to upgrade to an earring-compatable scouter model."
"That explains why he had those earrings and a scouter on at the same time. You from RSX?"
"RTQ, actually. I was the first of five Rainbow Angels to join from my home dimension, which was a good thing as i was able to help them find their way around Remnant for the first few weeks."
"Wasn't there a group of Rainbow Angels there when that plan happened?"
"Yeah. They hadn't left because two of the five were still Beacon students at the time. The Rainbow Angel group that had entered Remnant got there at almost the end of August 2039; it was April 2043 when the QZX trio became a major threat. Upside, the Beacon school year starts in September like most other normal school years, and it's a four-year school like most normal high schools; the two who were still students were in their fourth year, and a third who also attended Beacon graduated after the third one ended June 2042."
"I'm gonna assume that was Miss Adel, then, if my knowledge of RWBY is correct."
"It was; she was the leader of one of three teams out of five to join who had a Remnant-specific race known as Faunus on their team. The other two were Mistral-based Team SSSN, led by monkey Faunus Sun Wukong, and the titular RWBY, whose Faunus member, Blake, was one of the two Rainbow Angels still a Beacon student at the time; the other student Rainbow Angel was Emerald of Team CMSN."
"How many of that group of five were made friendly by Khaos?"
"Only the four that were Team CMSN; the day Jet and i activated my slot in the Bond he aided then-15 Ruby in stopping Torchwick."
"What about the other two teams to join XQ after the QZX trio was stopped?"
"Those two were RWBY's main ally team, Jaune Arc-led Team JNPR - Jaune got Shantae's race and just wiped out three including your Natsume in one shot - and a complete surprise in Shade Academy's Team NDGO, who had a Rainbow Angel not previously detected in Octavia among their lineup; i think the fact Octavia was at Shade had her not pop up on Ozzy's list, and the reason she didn't appear on Jet's may be due to having the same trigger Emerald did."
"Trigger?" a confused Forte asked.
"When it comes to Soul Bonds, there are three types of activation triggers. The easiest is dubbed 'normal'; a simple kiss activates it. Both of the other two can only be activated through sexual activity, but the big difference between them is in regards to timing of the activation. Emerald's trigger had no timing requirement, but Alexis had one with an additional requirement that the activation sex gets her pregnant. That latter trigger has repurcussions for those who try interfering, which is what led to the QZX trio's downfall when Harley tried raping Alexis unaware of that particular aspect."
"Explains what those idiots we fought were talking about when it came down to that showdown between five Rainbow Angels combining for an Omega Chrono Eclipse and the enemy idiots with the Nightmare Chasm Cannon. Upside, Alexis gave us the infinity power boost while dropping theirs to zero."
"I SWEAR i saw a black thunderbolt emerge just as Alexis pulled it." Lily spoke up.
An audible female gasp startled several people.
"What is it, Cierra?"
"That black thunderbolt is the identifying trait of a curse of Multiverse Zero origin that was put on QZX Ursula as she was shifted out of where she and her buddies were being held and into the 318 System back in 2046."
"So THAT'S what drew me to ZVE." another female spoke up.
"Jasmine?!" Lily exclaimed in shock. "Did you finish?"
"Nope, sacrificed myself to keep Deluxe from finishing. Might've unintentionally helped Marissa win in the process."
"You made me wreck off a building Jasmine!" OZ Chitose yelled.
"Chip thought you hit the Maze Bank, didn't he?"
"Yeah."
"That was Vesper who hit the Maze Bank, Chip."
"Oh. Couldn't tell for sure, Vesper and Eclipse were both in Lazers."
"Most of the field had Lazers; there were only four who selected Hydras."
"Hydra?"
"Heists Update, Ranpha. The T20 is from a subsequent DLC update."
"Sorts out that question; i was wondering what DLC for GTA V the T20 came from."
"Which heist makes the Hydra available for purchase?" Forte asked.
"Humane Labs Raid, third heist of five, EMP set-up. A military ship at sea has the Hydra on it, with an EMP needed for the main raid itself equipped. You need rank 12 to be able to host anything Heist-related. I'd prefer waiting until you hit at least rank 80 before making an attempt, you could use the extra firepower."
"No kidding. Seriously, everyone but my homeworld's Anise only has a regular pistol and a sawed-off shotgun. Don't know how the heck i got the latter, though."
"Rockstar Social Club." Marissa stated. "However, DLC weapons have no rank requirement for purchase, which should give you a larger arsenal than you'd think you have."
"Didn't know that."
"So, what next?" Lily asked once she, Forte, and Ranpha returned to Freemode.
"I have no idea, Lily." Forte answered. "At least you're a Rank 6 now."
"Oh, sure, rub it in." Ranpha muttered.
"How the heck did you have so much trouble flying when you regularly pilot an Emblem Frame?" Lily asked.
"Totally different control system."
