Hey guys, The Vaudevillain Veteran here. I've been wanting to write this fanfic for some time now and after finally overcoming my writer's block and procrastination, I have completed my first chapter. I noticed that on the MGE crossover page there was no crossover for Max Payne, so I took it upon myself to write the first ever Max Payne x Monster Girl Encyclopedia crossover on . Warning, this fanfiction will begin near the end of Max Payne 3, so beware of spoilers. Also I will be using google translate to help me write the Portuguese dialogue, so I apologise in advance for any spelling errors.

Whilst on his quest to avenge the deaths of Fabiana, Rodrigo and Marcelo Branco, Max was informed by his ally within the São Paulo police force Wilson da Silva to investigate reports of an unknown yet highly advanced technology within the UFE headquarters. Currently Max and Wilson drove through the empty streets of São Paulo, on their way to the UFE Headquarters

"Max...there's something else I need to tell you. There's another reason why I am sending you to the UFE Headquarters. Tell me, have you ever been a fan of science? " Wilson casually asked Max.

"Can't say I have, why?" Max responded.

"There's a scientist who went missing a few days ago that I need you to find." Wilson said.

"And what's that reason?" Max replied.

"I heard rumours that UFE has been developing this secret technology to help them clean the streets of São Paulo. To cut to the chase a few months ago there was this scientist who made the headlines for claiming he had developed the blue prints for a "portal." The media were skeptical of his claim but UFE and Victor took a keen interest in him, so when he arrived in São Paulo to attend a science conference the UFE kidnapped him from his hotel room and are now forcing him and are forcing him to develop this "portal". Not surprisingly this little project is being funded by Victor and I need to you to find it." Wilson informed Max.

"So what exactly am I looking for? And what's the name of this scientist I'm looking for?" Max asked Wilson as he looked out at the empty streets of Sao Paulo.

"I can't exactly say, but you'll know it when you see it. Find anything that looks...unusual. As for the scientist, his name is Alexandre Ferreira." Wilson answered Max.

"That's not exactly a helpful description. How does he even look like?" Max replied back in a flat tone.

"Alexandre is a black man with dreadlocks that reach to his shoulders, he normally wears a white lab coat so it shouldn't be difficult to miss him." Wilson described Alexandre's physical appearance to him. Max grunted as he continued to look out the window.

"You were a former detective back in America yes? I'm sure you'll have no issue finding Alexandre and the portal Max." With a smile Wilson told Max as he stopped his car right in front of the UFE HQ.

"Max, one last thing." Wilson further added just before Max was about to leave the car.

"Bring Alexandre back alive."

Were Wilson's last words as he left the UFE headquarters.

"When I first took his role as the security guard to the Branco family, the last thing I expected was being tangled in a conspiracy that reached into the highest up positions of the police and local government and on a wild goose chase for some goddamn portal. I had expected that this would be a mostly easy job and that I could drink most of the time and wallow in own self pity." Max monologued in his mind as he exited Wilson's car and casually entered the reception of the UFE headquarters.

Guns from all around were immediately pointed at Max as he entered the UFE HQ reception. Anticipating this he calmly held up the gun in his right hand and slowly approached the counter.

"Diga a Becker. Que vim para ele." Max said to the UFE guards as he gently placed the gun down on the counter. The UFE police guards almost immediately handcuffed Max and lead him to an elevator, where the other guards jeered at him in Portuguese. Max was escorted past the holding cells, where he saw a prisoner being violently shoved into one of the many cells. Eventually Max was led to what was likely an interrogation room, and was commanded to sit down by the UFE officers.

A swift right hook connected with Max's temple, as he was sent collapsing onto the floor, The two guards then kicked him relentlessly until one of them spoke up.

"Hey! What are you doing here huh? I asked you a question!" One of the UFE officers angrily asked Max.

Max's vision was blurry, and he could barely focus as the two officers angrily asked what he was doing here.

"You hit me in the ear!" Max answered the UFE officers as he held his bleeding ear. Whilst the punch had stunned him somewhat, Max exaggerated the pain so that the two officer's heads would come close enough to each other.

A loud thud was head has Max shoved the two officer's heads into each other, stunning them. Whilst stunned he took a pistol from one of the guards and prepared himself to shoot his way through the building until he found that device for da Silva.

Gunfire ringed through the UFE HQ as Max indirectly helped instigate a prison riot. Hiding behind a window he saw three UFE officers engaged in a gunfight with three prisoners who had just been freed.

"...Their faces said it all. I was on their side, but how could they know that? If they came through that door I'd be leaving as a human shield or never leaving at all." Max monologued to himself as he silently crept by the room opposite of where the prisoners had just killed the UFE officers.

"Whatever it is da Silva is having me look for better be worth it."

Using his skills and wits, Max survived an influx of oncoming officers by shooting them all dead before they could get the best of him. Occasionally they did strike him in the arm or leg, which while non lethal stung like hell.

Taking out a bottle of painkillers Max consumed painkiller and almost immediately the pain he felt disappeared.

Gunfire continued to ring through the UFE HQ as Max eventually arrived at the control room of the UFE HQ. Pushing aside the dead body of an officer Max looked at the CCTV footage in the hopes that it could help him find this "secret technology" that da Silva was eager to get his hands on. Max's eyes wondered as he saw footage of the prisoners fighting the officers but one CCTV camera caught his attention.

He could see Bachmeyer, three other officers and a black man with dreadlocks and a white lab coat standing around this giant metal ring. With his mediocre Portuguese Max only understood Bachmeyer yelling about the portal to the man with the white lab coat. When the man in a white lab coat pressed a red button the metal ring began to glow brightly, before it fizzled out created an explosion.

"No doubt about it, that's gotta be that "portal" da Silva was rambling about earlier, and just when I think this mission couldn't get crazier." Max monologued to himself, exiting the room to locate the room where Bachmeyer and Alexandre were.

"And there I was...on a million dollar Easter hunt for a portal to Wonderland, either I was the dumbest man on the planet, or the next Christopher Columbus."

One by one the UFE officers all fell as Max shot his way through the building to reach the room where that portal was. Max cursed to himself as he saw Bachmeyer looking down at him. The room to the portal was upstairs, and Max was at an immediate disadvantage. Seven or eight UFE officers shot at Max from the balcony above.

Max bided his time and waited for the officers to eventually reveal themselves to shoot him, which they did with his faster reflexes shot them all in the head. Once those officers were dead Max walked up the stairs.

"As expected, that psycho who torched Marcelo alive locked the door."

Max scanned his nearby surroundings and to his relief, found the entrance to a vent. Deducing that this was likely his only way (and because he had no better options at the moment, he scourged around the area for a utensil to help him open the air vent.)

"Dammit...a few years ago this used to be so much easier. So much for reinforcing the fat American stereotype"

Crawling through the air vent Max peeked out to see Bachmeyer yelling at the scientist to do something, although he was likely ordering him to find a way to stabilise the portal which flicked a bright white akin to a dying lightbulb.

Analysing the situation, Max realised that if he just charged in guns blazing the he would either get himself of the scientist killed. Not giving up on his mission however Max continued to think of a plan to ensure that unlike with Rodrigo, Fabiana and Marcelo that he would bring Alexandre back alive.

"Sinto muito senhor, mas o portal-"

A hard smack echoed through the room.

"Conserte esse pedaço de merda agora ou vou colocar uma bala na sua cabeça!" Bachmeyer angrily yelled at Alexandre, frustrated at his lack of progress.

Bachmeyer then turned around and took out a phone from his pocket.

"This is my golden chance, it's now or never."

Utlising all of his strength, Max kicked open the air vent with all his might, startling Bachmeyer. Wasting no time Max leaped out of the air vent and leaped forward.

Time around Max seemed to slow down as he entered a state he nicknamed "Bullet Time" and shot Bachmeyer multiple times in the chest, causing him to slump down to the floor.

"Obrigado por me salvar, mas se eu puder perguntar o que você é" The scientist thanked Max as he offered a handshake..

"Desculpe. Eu não português." Max told the scientist.

"So you're a gringo then?" The scientist asked Max.

"Yeah. Hey look, is your name Alexandre Ferreira by any chance? And are you the scientist who was developing this...thing? I was told to come rescue you." Max asked the scientist.

"My name is Alexandre Ferreira, and yes I was the one who had devolved this portal. And what do you mean that you were here to 'rescue me?' Who exactly sent you?" Alexandre asked Max.

"I'll explain properly once we leave this place." Max answered Alexandre.

"What do you mean? Are you planning on also kidnapping me and utlising my inventions for your criminal schemes as well!?" Alexandre angrily asked Max as he confronted him.

"What? No. I'm not a criminal or associated with any of the gangs or corrupt police in this goddamn city. I was sent here by a an officer in the police force by the name of Wilson da Silva to get you out of here safe and sound, is that so hard to believe?" Max answered Alexandre as his temper began to flare.

"Look, I know it may seem strange but please...just trust me because believe it or not, these guys are just us much my enemies as they're yours." Max told Alexandre in an attempt to reason with him.

"Hmmpf, alright, if you say so. But do not expect to trust you just yet." Alexandre chuffed as he turned his attention towards Max.

Max however ignored Alexandre and cautiously walked to where the portal was located, standing atop a pedestal where a white light pulsed inside of a metal ring.

His eyes were not deceiving him. Right in front of him was a real life portal.

"And there I was...standing in front of a device that looked like something out of a sci fi movie. Only difference is that I don't have a DeLorean to drive over a mad scientist..."

"So this...thing..." Max muttered out.

"In simple non scientific terms, it is a portal." Alexandre confirmed Max's suspicions that the secret technology that Wilson talked about earlier was indeed a portal.

"I already know that genius. What I meant to ask was how? How the hell did you manage to create it? And how do you know for sure it works?" Max asked Alexandre once more as he touched the pulsing white light of the portal, which felt like a strange mixture of water and jell-o.

"When I was younger I always had a fascination for science. Growing up I always wondered if maybe, just maybe I could be the first person to make a real portal to another world, so I worked tirelessly to make my dream a reality. And also...I wanted to use the portal to help improve the lives of everyone in need.." Alexandre proudly declared.

A loud gunshot rang through the air as Max quickly turned to see Alexandre's shoulder soaked red with blood.

"Morra seu filho da puta!" Bachmeyer angrily yelled out, having seemingly recovered from the shots he had taken to the abdomen, although Max guessed that the bullet-proof vest Bachmeyer wore protected him from any fatal injuries.

Acting on his lightning quick reflexes Max shot Bachmeyer in the hand, shooting the gun out of his hand but also at the cost of Bachmeyer shooting him in the shoulder as well.

"Ah dammit!" Max yelled out in pain as he clutched his bleeding shoulder. Alexandre too continued to scream in pain from the earlier bullet from Bachmeyer.

The door to the room opened to reveal half a dozen UFE officers all pointing their weapons towards Max and Alexandre, angrily shouting at them in Portuguese.

"And just when we weren't having enough fun at this party, the host called in the clowns."

"O que você está esperando, atire neles!" Bachmeyer angrily shouted to his subordinates, seemingly forgetting that his own right hand (was covered in blood.

"And there I was, caught between a portal and the barrel of a gun with the guy I was supposed to rescue bleeding out in front of my eyes. I didn't know it I was going to regret it then, but going through that portal was the only chance I had to keep myself and Alexandre alive"

Time seemed to slow down for Max as he tugged at the collar of Alexandre's labcoat. Despite the searing pain coursing through his body, Max threw Alexandre into the portal first, before leaping backwards into the portal and getting a few good headshots, but at the price of some of the UFE officers shooting him in the leg and right forearm.

Max felt his entire world around him go white as he felt himself become enveloped by the portal.

"And just like that the shooting had finally stopped almost as soon as it began. Lingering in that portal I felt almost as if I were in between life and death. I wondered to myself if the grim reaper had finally come to claim me after all these years, to finally reunite me with Michelle and Rose.

Max felt his body land hard on what felt like grass and noticed that it was the dead of night with only the moon to illuminate light. Groaning in pain he realised that his time for the grim reaper to claim him was not due just yet.

"For a change a decision I made in the heat of the moment actually paid off. We were away from UFE and looked to be in what looked like a forest."

Max looked down at Alexandre and saw that he was unconscious and still bleeding profusely. Checking his pockets Max took out his bottle of painkillers and opened them, seeing that he still had two painkillers left.

"Just my luck. I dunno if by me using up all of my bad luck earlier some omnipotent deity took pity on me and finally blessed me with good luck"

Swallowing down one painkiller Max felt all the pain in his body vanish in an instant. Max them approached Alexandre and shook him to see if he was still alive and too his relief, he still was.

"Here, take this." Max offered his last remaining painkiller to Alexandre.

"What is that?" Alexandre gurgled out as he used all his strength to stay conscious.

"It's a painkiller." Max simply said as Alexandre took and swallowed without further question.

Alexandre too felt the searing pain in his shoulder disappear, much to his relief. But the amount of blood he had lost caused him to fall unconscious once more.

"Dammit, get..." The effects of blood loss began to affect Max as he too passed out from blood loss.

With both men passed out on the grass field. It seemed that they were destined to die as their fates now rested in the hands of mother nature.

In the distance however, a young archer with long green hair tied into two ponytails watched the two men from afar.

"Huh? Where did they come from? Were they attacked by monsters?" The girl muttered to herself as she carefully approached the unconscious Max and Alexandre, to ensure that this was not a ruse set up by bandits waiting to rob whoever was unfortunate enough to be there.

Once the girl finally reached the unconscious forms of Max and Alexandre she noticed that this was not a set up by some bandits and that for whatever reason, these too men were passed out in an open field.

"This doesn't make sense. These men are wearing clothing that I have never seen before...and the bald man has pistols similar to the ones Paula wields but they...how can I say it, they look far more technologically advanced than anything the Order has created." The girl lamented as she took out one of Max's Glocks to investigate it, enamoured by it's sleek appearance.

The girl then noticed the wounds on both of the men and deduced that if they did not receive any immediate medical attention, then their lives would come to an end. The girl made sure to take place the Glock back in Max's holster before turning both men over onto their backs she could see that the wounds they suffered were severe, but thankfully were not in any vital areas. She checked their pulses and felt that while weak, they were still there.

"It's not safe out here. Monsters could attack at any moment. I'll have to bring these men back with me to Lescatie and when they're in a stable condition I'll ask them what happened." The girl's arm began to glow a bright green as Max and Alexandre were lifted into the air as without another word, she departed the area, with Max and Alexandre's bodies following her.

And there is the first chapter to my Max Payne x Monster Girl Encyclopedia crossover! My apologies if this chapter feels a bit rushed, introductions were always a pain for me to write especially regarding isekais. I hope you all enjoyed it and as always, constructive critcism is allowed.
