Fanfic based off of Saints Row 3 and 4. I'm not including anything from the reboot game, all based on the original series but starting at game 3 and, if I get to it, Gat out of Hell.
The main character will be named Amorta (a pun on immortal). Why? Let's find out!
I didn't know what was going to happen after the effort I put into the Saints Row series from game 1 all the way to Gat Out of Hell. It was so interesting to learn about the series starting as a GTA clone before getting double bonkers by the time it hit the third game. And no, I did not play the reboot. There were some things that had to remain sacred.
Regardless, I'd not only learned every in and out of these games, but I even had a top 10 speedrun of the game. But did I post it? No. I wasn't the boastful type.
But that was all before... the weirdest crap happened. It was so weird, but what happened was so hard to describe... it was as if I were engulfed in the brightest light I'd ever seen before my vision returned to normal... on the cargo hold of a jet! And not only that, everything looked like... 3D graphics? Wait... I then looked to my right and left and saw that I was alongside... Johnny Gat, Shaundi from game 3, and Pierce! And in front of me, looking like the James Bond villain winner of 2008, Lorenzo of the Syndicate.
And he looked at me with a smirk.
"Well, well, well. Now we finally meet, don't we?" asked Lorenzo, me knowing only one thing about this situation. I was in trouble.
I had none of the powers of the boss of the Saints, that much I knew for a fact! But considering that I felt this may have been a dream of some kind? I spouted at him.
"Indeed. And you're the winner of the James Bond villain lookalike contest," I said, which he looked at me in... confusion?
"What... who's James Bond? Talk sense why don't you?!" he frowned at me.
"The only sense I need is to find out why we're here and who the hell you are," I frowned, which Shaundi nodded at.
"What you need to know, little lady, is that I am Lorenzo, the leader of the Morningstar, the ones who run the streets of Steelport. You think Stillwater is dangerous? Steelport makes it look like a kiddy pool."
"And your point is?" Johnny frowned at him, showing no fear like the badass he was.
"I saved you from that prison to offer a deal. If you Saints converge with my Morningstar for, say, 75 to 25 percent cut for us and you respectively, then we can work together to not only rule our districts, but eventually, all of the world!" Shaundi was about to spout off before I beat her to the punch.
"See, that's what I was talking about. Exactly what a cat-stroking James Bond villain would say. Next you're gonna say something like 'I will hold the world ransom for 100 million dollars'! You're such a dummy!" I said, which... after I said that? Lorenzo immediately grabbed his pistol and shot me in the face!
I expected to either have woken up or died from that! But... what happened next made everyone in the cargo hold look at me in shock. The bullet, after connecting to my forehead... stopped dead in its tracks and fell to the ground as if it had been crushed against something that broke the rules of intertia!
"W-What the... what the fuck?!" Lorenzo shouted in shock before I then opportunized and did something eventful. I proceeded to grab a pistol from the holster on my captor and proceeded to shoot it into my handcuffs before then doing the same to uncuff the others in my group without hurting them, starting with Johnny!
"SHIT! Kill them! Kill all of them!" Lorenzo shouted as Johnny then tried to rush at him... but we gawked at how Lorenzo's whole body vanished in an instant... because he was overtop of a chute that he fell out of and proceeded to go down to ground level in! But after this, our entire group then had to fight off the Morningstar as they started to come in all over!
"SHIT! I have an idea. I'll go to the bridge, you guys clear the back of the ship and look for some weapons and parachutes! I'm going to take control of this sucker!" Johnny said with seriousness as he rushed ahead to the front of the ship while the rest of us had to do as he said.
"You think Johnny's going to be okay?!" Shaundi asked.
"Relax, Shaundi! It's Johnny fucking Gat. This is just a Tuesday for him!" I smirked at her.
"Good point, let's roll while you explain what the hell happened!" she shouted, me nodding as I then grabbed the guns from the dead Morningstar gunners and took the front of the group with some SMGs that I then proceeded to try and aim and shoot at the baddies.
I normally wouldn't use guns, but this was a life and death situation. But not for me, for my new unlikely allies! I had to kill them before they killed my friends!
After a bit of running, we eventually managed to find 3 different parachutes in the hold... and it was then that we felt the ship having some altitude issues. And then an intercom nearby spoke with Gat on the line.
"Guys, they just keep coming and I keep droppin' 'em, but I'm outta bullets! You got some supplies to help out?" he asked. Shaundi got to it immediately.
"Yep, we got 'em, Gat! We're heading up to help out!"
"Great, now it's time to-" he was about to finish before the setup for game 4 happened.
"Johnny?! JOHNNY!" Shaundi shouted before I then saw that the Morningstar were entering from where we came from and... they had rocket launchers. With no other options, I then grabbed Shaundi and Pierce and opened the loading dock to open below us. And after this, the suction immediately sent us out along with all the Morningstar goons and their supplies as I saw we were falling from roughly 5 thousand feet in the air! Also known as so high that the place below us was nothing but clouds!
"We need to get as far away from these bastards as possible!" Pierce shouted.
"But what about Johnny?! He's in danger!" Shaundi shouted.
"Johnny should be okay! He still has his cellphone! I'll try and call as we plummet down to earth and shoot these fuckers!" I shouted at the duo as I then grabbed an assault rifle and pistol and proceeded to freefall towards Johnny and hand him the rifle as I then got the pistol and my cell phone, hooking it up to my earpiece in my ear to try and contact Johnny.
I heard the call ring at least 4 times before the phone answered... and it was just heavy breathing.
"Johnny? You okay, Johnny?" I asked him loudly as I fell to Earth at the 3K feet mark.
"Johnny's dead. And soon, you will be too," the voice said in the voice of Zinyak, me growling at him as I then looked at Shaundi and she looked at me with concern as I then shook my head... as best as I could as we kept falling.
"NO! NONONO! He can't be dead!" Shaundi shouted before then freefalling towards one of the Morningstar... and this one had a rocket launcher. She grabbed it, snapped the goon's neck and then aimed and shot it at the aircraft that flew above us! And after just one shot, the entire airship started to blow up into numerous bits and chunks as we kept falling... and now that we were at 2K feet, I saw that Steelport was ahead of us by at least 500 feet!
"We need to aim for the island! And fast, before we sleep with the fishes for good!" I shouted, us then freefalling in a way that we were like Superman. And after this, Shaundi then asked.
"Hey! You got shot at with, like, 500 bullets or so by those guys! You didn't flinch at any of them! What's going on?!" she shouted at me.
"Since we're freefalling high above the ground, I'll let you two in on a secret! I'm not from this universe!" I shouted.
"WHAT?! But we've known you for a whole year!" he shouted.
"If you do, then tell me what my real name is!" I shouted.
"I-I don't know! What is it?!" he asked.
"My real name is Amy Ortega from Cleveland, Ohio! But in this world, you will know me as IMMORTAL!" I shouted.
"Amorta?! I'll call you that, but only if you tell us more when we touchdown!" Shaundi shouted as we finally got over the southern part of Steelport and with 1 K feet left to go!
"Got it! PULL!" I shouted, all three of us then pulling the cords and parachuting... and me shocking myself at how I did it without even knowing how I did so! We then flew a bit towards the area of Steelport until we got to the northern part of the park in the Downtown section.
"Whew... okay, we need to get to an ATM and fast," I said.
"Why? You know something we don't, Playa?" he asked me.
"Yeah, the universe I came from? It knows a whole lot about this one... and for some reason, I'm not only placed in the role of the 'playa'-ble character, but I seem to be immune to all damage... because I also hit my butt in that landing and it didn't hurt."
"So why do we go to the ATM? Ah, there's one!" she said, me then immediately going to it to take out funds... and luckily, I did it JUST in time and got out all of our funds. After that happened and the money exited the machine and onto our credit card, I then tried to do the same thing with the bank card for the Saints to take out the 10 dollars I left in the bank. And when I did? It said that the account was foreclosed.
"Shit... that was smart, but will they do the same to our credit card?" Shaundi asked as I then looked at the card and smiled.
"It's a credit card for the biggest credit network out there. AKA, the one owned by the bank of Benjamin King. And remember, he owes us big time from the Stillwater days."
"Oh, yeah. I remember that. Johnny told us how he helped take down a bitch called Tanya when she tried to form a coupe against him and they teamed up to beat Tanya up!" Pierce smirked.
"Right. So... now that we've got this credit card full of cash before they stole all of it... what say we go ahead and get some weapons, clothes, and find a base of operations?" I asked.
"Good plan. Maybe also use that moolah to buy up some stores. No doubt that Lorenzo will be pissed if he finds out we legally own some shops around here. Best we can do to avenge Johnny! Why couldn't you save him?!" Shaundi asked, me sighing at that.
"I'll tell you this much. Johnny is not dead," I said, her looking at me in confusion. "He'll be back... in the sequel. But as for now, he's been captured. But not by the Syndicate. By another enemy we will face off with in the future... but as of current, we can't attack the entity."
"And why not?" she frowned.
"You'd never believe me when I said who it was... this is game number 3. Where the series starts getting bonkers. Game 4 is where everything goes off the rails."
"Shit, why tease us now?"
"So you don't ask any questions as to what the future holds. Trust me, what we just went through? That's just the warmup for what we're going to encounter. For now, let's go get some weapons, clothes, and a place to bunk and plot. Any ideas as to the latter, Shaundi?" I asked, her frowning at that.
"I have a former roommate in this place. She owes me a favor so we could probably go bunk at her apartment as a temporary base," Shaundi said, me nodding as we then got a parked car and I managed to operate it despite it... not having a key?
"How in the hell are you able to drive without a key to turn it on?" Pierce asked.
"Again, no clue. My guess, because of me being from another universe, the rules of nature just don't apply to me? I'm just as confused as you two, if not more so, since I have no idea how to go home, what brought me here, and why my phone from my own world followed me to this one."
"Wait, seriously? Can I see it, per chance? For um... research?" Shaundi asked, me nodding as I gave it to her after unlocking it and she looked at it in confusion. "This is... why does every picture on this look... super bland?"
"Because my world has different graphics, let's go with that... I recommend playing some tunes on that phone while we go to get guns. I have a playlist for every genre, most of them being video game tunes."
"Yuck, video games?" Pierce frowned.
"Shaundi? Play Sloprano from the game opera tab."
"Um... okay?" she asked as the infamous song from Conker began to play. And which version was it? The one that was made to be an extended version with added lyrics by Juno Songs.
"~IIIIII Am! The Great Mighty Poo!
And I'm going to throw my pblt at you!
A huge supply of tish comes from my chocolate starfish!
How about some scat you little pblt?~" the song sung, which earned some immature giggles from Shaundi before the next bit came with the art.
"~Hear my rectal rumblings, send you tumbling to demise!
From this planet to Uranus there are none who match my size!
PBLT upon your face, my song of slop shall mesmerize!
Lord upon the lou, the Poo now claims you as his priiize!~"
After that verse? Both Shaundi and Pierce were laughing like it were the best song they'd ever heard as I then pulled up to Friendly Fire.
"See? Smiles go for miles. Now let's get some glocks and glizzies."
"Yeah, okay... heehee... okay... I needed that. Thanks," Shaundi giggled a bit, me nodding as we then went into the gun store. We had 999 thousand to work with, so I bought the store first from the one behind the counter (5K dollars total) before then buying some weapons that I needed, those being the rocket launcher and some upgrades for it, an SMG that I upgraded to fire incindiery bullets, and the final one, I bought an upgraded baseball bat to have spikes. Better to have a melee weapon in case of running out of bullets or needing to be in a close-quarters situation.
As for why I needed a backup melee weapon? I'll have Shaundi demonstrate.
"So, Shaundi... quick question... you want to get a bit of weed soon?" I asked, her then taking her fist and punching me in the face. And afterwards, I fell backwards by a few feet and into the counter of the Friendly Fire shop.
"I quit that shit shortly after the whole incident in Stillwater was finished. I thought you'd know that!" she frowned at me, which I groaned after as I knew that her punch would give me a bruise.
"Ugh... I was never told... what the reason was... or when it happened," I groaned. "But... take note from here on out... bullets I'm immune to... melee? I'm gonna have a bruise... and maybe a black eye after that punch."
"Uh... sorry, then... would you like to go to a Freckle Bitches and get a steak sandwich?" Shaundi asked, me groaning at that.
"If memory serves, Steelport doesn't have a Freckle Bitches. Guess they have taste," I admitted.
"Finally! Someone agrees with me! Those burgers tasted like shit!" Pierce smiled widely.
"And it's a ripoff of Wendy's from my world... down to the hot girl on the sign being a sexier Wendy mascot."
"Um... I think I heard of this restaraunt, believe it or not. Rumor has it that Freckle Bitch herself grabbed Wendy and ate her whole... like, all at once... not even chewing just, devoured all of her," Shaundi said, me groaning at that.
"I see... so vore is actually a thing in this world... remind me to be careful from here on-" I was about to finish before my stomach made a loud grumble. "Oogh... hungry... let's see if I can find some food on the way to the nearest clothes store," I smirked.
