My Chain Story

[Corndawg93]

2) Trevor gets a strange call on his phone

Trevor goes to answer but it's explodes killing Trevor, this causes a big old MISSION FAILED screen pops up, with the reason for this it says "Trevor died"

The black screen then sends the crew back to Dwayne apartment, Dwayne and Yeager going over the plan with Jason, Lucia, Phil Collins, Trevor and Agent 14

(Dwayne) Now, the plan is Me, Agent 14, Lucia and Yeager head over to the other side prison where the cells are and when I give the signal, Trevor rams the Sasquatch into the Prison entrance, then the 4 of us get into the prison and locate, Niko, Roman, Packie, Gerry and Derrick, Jason, did you and 14 get the items on the list I gave you?
(Jason) Yeah, got them right here
(Dwayne) Me, Yeager and 14 will wear the Prison uniforms
(Lucia) Why the head lamps?
(Dwayne) To see where we're going
(Trevor) We doing this at night?
(Dwayne) Yes, doing this in the day time is a dumb idea
(Yeager) This way we can cause the distraction and not get noticed
(Lucia) What am I doing, I'm not wearing a Uniform so what gives
(Dwayne) You go find an exit for us, there's one that connects to the sewers that heads to the River, when we get everyone we're gunna have to get out quick
(Yeager) What about Phil Collins over here?
(Dwayne) He's a lost cause, not involving him
(Trevor) Agreed, can't trust him in his wacked out state
(Jason) So just to over the plan again
(Dwayne) We wait till midnight, then Me, Yeager, 14 and Lucia head to the other side, we wear the prison uniforms and the head lamps, I then give the signal so Trevor can destroy the entrance, that causes a distraction, we head up over the wall with the rope gun and head in, Lucia goes to find the sewer entrance, while Me, Yeager and 14 locate Niko, Roman, Packie, Derrick and Gerry, we free them, go to the sewer entrance where Jason will be waiting for us in a police boat
(Jason) I was wondering how I fit into this
(Dwayne) Got it?
(Jason) Yep
(Trevor) Yes
(Yeager) Yeah
(Lucia) Sì
(14) Affirmative
(Dwaybe) Great, get some rest, we hit this at midnight

They all agree and do their own thing until then

8 Hours Later....

Who do we follow in the Heist???
1) Trevor, driving the Sasquatch into position waiting on Dwaynes Signal, listening to the Radio
2) Jason, who's having trouble finding the sewer entrance
3) Dwayne, 14, Yeager and Lucia making their way to the other side of the prison
4) Niko sleeping, dreaming about fairies
5) Isaac and Brock in there office watching porn

2)

 

The inky darkness of night blankets the murky waters of the West River as Jason maneuvers the stolen police boat along the coast. His eyes scan the shadowy banks for the concealed sewer exit that’s key to their escape. The city lights cast a feeble glow on the water, it's ripping reflection adding difficulty of his task.

 

As the boat glides past the water's edge, near the towering walls of the Alderney State Correctional Facility, Jason squints to make out any sign of disturbance. He expects to hear alarms, perhaps see the flashing lights of a facility in chaos, but nothing. The silence is unnerving, almost as if the river itself is holding its breath.

 

The radio crackles to life every so often with the chatter of unsuspecting police officers, the occasional mention of a certain missing police boat, but Jason keeps it low, just background noise to his focused search. He squints into the darkness, trying to match the reality of the riverbanks to the mental map he'd memorized from Dwayne's instructions.

 

"Where is it..." he mutters to himself, frustration creeping into his voice. He slows the boat, letting it drift as he leans over the side, peering into the inky depths. "Come on, come on," he whispers, as if his words could coax the hidden exit into revealing itself, "F*ck."

 

~ ~ ~

 

The night air's cool, carrying the distant hum of city life across the West River in Algonquin as Dwayne, Agent 14, Frank Yeager and Lucia stood underneath a streetlight on Toggle Avenue. Bathed in amber light, they said their goodbyes to Lucia and they watched her silhouette disappear into the night as she went to go secure their exit.

 

Dwayne then glances at his watch, the digital numbers reading close to midnight. "It's time, everyone know what to do?"

 

Agent 14 nods, his face hidden behind the night’s shadow, “Let’s just hope Trevor doesn’t jump the gun. He’s itching for action.”

 

Yeager also nods, his face covered in shadows, “The key is precision. We stick to the plan, hit them fast, and get out before they even realize what’s happening.”

 

Dwayne, Agent 14, and Yeager traverse the dimly lit path adjacent to Toggle Avenue, a maze of cargo containers creating an industrial labyrinth. “What’s with all these containers here?” Dwayne muses aloud, the eerie silence around them amplifying his voice, “This ain't even a dock.”

 

The trio emerges from the container maze to face the towering back wall of Alderney State Correctional Facility. Its ominous silhouette looms over them, a monolith of forbidding security.

 

Yeager, undeterred, fishes out his phone, the light from the screen cutting through the darkness. “We’ll make our own light,” he quips, a faint smirk playing on his lips.

 

Dwayne sets down the duffle bag and unzips it with a fluid motion. He distributes the headlamps to Yeager and Agent 14, keeping the rhythm of their preparation steady and efficient. Clasping the rope with the hook, he stands, ready to proceed.

 

“Uniforms?” Agent 14 inquires, his voice betraying a hint of urgency.

 

Dwayne searches the duffle bag, his hands moving from one item to the next. The realization dawns slowly; there's a critical oversight. Only one set of guard uniforms stares back at them.

 

“Damn it,” Agent 14 hisses, “My handler's guy botched the drop.”

 

Dwayne’s response is swift, decisive. “I’ll take the guard duty. You and Yeager take care of the tower guards. We can’t have them shooting up Trevor’s grand entrance.”

 

There’s a moment of silent consensus before Yeager deploys the rappel hook with a practiced toss. It catches, and they climb, the motion almost second nature.

 

Perched atop the wall, they don their headlamps. As Agent 14's about to turn his on, Yeager stops him, "Not yet, those LEDs are bright. We don't want this party to kick off just yet."

 

What Next?

1) We stay with Yeager and Agent 14 as they realize that they don't have any guns to neutralize the guards in the towers.

2) We stick with Dwayne as he walks down the stairs and ingratiates himself as a Correctional Officer.

3) We cut to Trevor as he's big chilling in the Apocalypse Sasquatch, listening to music and getting impatient.

4) We cut to Lucia as she finds the sewer entrance, but she notices someone's already there.

5) We cut to Niko, Gerald, Packie, Little Jacob and Real Badman in the Hot Box when Brock and Isaac burst in.

3) We cut to Trevor as he's big chilling in the Apocalypse Sasquatch, listening to music and getting impatient

Sitting in the somewhat incredible and super noticable Monster Truck inflicted paranoia, he was lucky it was dark, while listening to Fall In Love by Bailey Zimmerman, Trevor was questioning the songs lyrics

(Trevor) Who ever broke this guys heart deserves to be dead, she sounds like a coward

He continued to listen to more of Bailey Zimmerman music, Where It Ends and A Rock and a Hard Place and as Trevor started to cry giving Trevor flashbacks to his own awful love life, he suddernly asked a question about the heist he probably should have asked back at Dwayne's apartment

(Trevor) What's suppose to be Dwayne's signal?, like how am I suppose to know when to cause the distraction, he didn't give me walkie talkie or anything like that

Just then a knock at the door is heard, it's a police officer wondering what's going on

(Cop) Sir, please come out of the monster truck
(Trevor) Oh f*ck me, crap, Sorry Dwayne
(Cop) Sir... sir please exit the vehicle
(Trevor) F*ck you pig, I ain't going back to jail

Just then Trevor revs the truck preparing to make a beeline for the entrance

(Trevor) SASQUATCH, MAKE ME HAPPY

What happens next???
1) Trevor crashes into the entrance but the truck explodes killing Trevor
2) The cop shoots the tyre causing the truck to lose control and flip
3) Trevor breaks threw the gate, crashing into the building inside
4) The Sasquatch isn't strong enough to break the entrance, the police officer arrest Trevor
5) The Sasquatch stalls

 

Also I'd just like to say "The silence is unnerving, almost as if the river itself is holding its breath" is an amazing line

3)

 

Trevor's grip tightens around the steering wheel of the Apocalypse Sasquatch, the monstrous machine idling like a caged beast yearning for release. His heart beats in rhythm with the heavy metal thrumming from the speakers, Bailey Zimmerman's music fueling his adrenaline. He can't wait for Dwayne's signal anymore, there's no time left for waiting; it's do or die, and Trevor's been ready to die for quite some time.

 

"Sasquatch, make me happy" he mutters to himself as he shifts the truck into drive.

 

The Sasquatch's engine howls as Trevor slams the accelerator to the floor. The behemoth of a truck lurches forward, an unstoppable force of fury and metal. It bears down on the prison's big reinforced metal gate, which stands no chance against the impending wrath.

 

The gate crumples like foil as the Sasquatch bursts through, the sound of rending metal echoing through the air. Trevor barrels down the short tunnel, his wild laugh lost in the cacophony. Two guards, hearing the commotion, dart out, their eyes wide with shock. They leap to safety just in time, watching in horror as the truck plows straight through the facade of the building beyond.

 

In the chaos, the Sasquatch becomes Trevor's world until a violent jolt sends him hurtling forward. His head smacks the steering wheel hard, and the world fades to black. The last thing he hears is the echo of his own laughter, the Sasquatch's engine still roaring triumphantly as his consciousness slips away.

 

~ ~ ~

 

In the sweltering confines of the "Hot Box," the air was thick with the haze of marijuana smoke. Niko, Gerald, Packie, Little Jacob, and Real Badman lounged languidly, the scent of cannabis heavy in the humid air.

 

Gerald leaned back against the wooden bench, his voice low. "Eight months, man. Feels like a lifetime in here."

 

Packie, his eyes reddened but sharp, nodded. "And not a damn word from the outside. You'd think we were forgotten."

 

Little Jacob, passing a hand-rolled cigarette to Real Badman, chuckled deeply. "Nah, star, jah were never forgotten. Just out of sight, sight?"

 

The laughter was cut short by the slamming of the door. Isaac and Brock, the joint-chief administrators of the facility, stood framed in the doorway, their faces morphing from confusion to realization as the scent hit them.

 

"What the hell is this?" Isaac barked, his hand moving instinctively toward his radio.

 

Before he could press the button, the shrill sound of alarms sliced through the smoky air, echoing off the walls with urgency. The two administrators paused, disoriented by the sudden chaos.

 

This was the moment Niko and Packie had unknowingly been waiting for. With a look that spoke volumes, they sprang into action, their reflexes not dulled by the smoke. In a swift movement, Packie lunged at Isaac, tackling him to the ground. Niko grappled with Brock.

 

~ ~ ~

 

Dwayne strides down the sterile hallway of Alderney State Correctional Facility, his posture rigid with the feigned assurance of a guard on his mundane patrol. The dim fluorescent lights flicker above, casting an eerie glow on the linoleum floor. His heart hammers against his ribcage, but his face is a mask of cool indifference. Every step he takes is measured, practiced, the heavy keys jangling at his belt a symphony of impending freedom.

 

Suddenly, the ground shudders, and a distant, thunderous crash resonates through the walls. The unmistakable sound of chaos — Trevor has made his move. The alarms wail, slicing through the tension in the air like a knife. Red lights flash, painting the corridor in a dance of urgency.

 

Dwayne's mind races. "Damn it, Trevor, what the hell happened?" he mutters under his breath. He knows the plan is unraveling fast, and Trevor's impromptu performance with the Sasquatch means he's a sitting duck at the gates. This distraction, however, might be the silver lining.

 

With a swift decision, Dwayne veers off towards the central control room. His hands, though slick with sweat, are steady as he reaches the panel. The cacophony of alarms and shouting from the guards fills the air, but Dwayne's focus is singular — liberate the prisoners.

 

He finds the master control switch. A deep breath, a silent prayer, and he flips it. The cell doors slide open with a collective clang, and a flood of inmates pours out, their yells and whoops a tidal wave of anarchy.

 

With a smirk, he turns around and sees a Glock 17 sitting out in the open. He's ready for a fight.

 

What Next?

1) We cut to Trevor as he regains consciousness in the Sasquatch.

2) We cut to Agent 14 and Yeager as they're set up at one of the guard towers surrounding the Correctional Facility, taking shots at the cops who are closing in on Trevor, who's still knocked out in the Sasquatch.

3) We cut to Niko, Gerald, Packie, Little Jacob and Real Badman as they hear the chaos unfolding; a riot has started and gunshots rattle down the hallways between the prisoners and guards.

4) We cut to Dwayne as he's shooting his way to the last known position of Niko and the boys, when he bumps into Scarf-Face, who stabbed Roman in the gut, and is about to kill Horsecock Harry.

5) We cut to Derrick, whatever he's been doing this entire time.

5) We cut to Derrick, whatever he's been doing this entire time.

Derrick's time in prison has been interesting, he barely got noticed by other prisoners and at some point in the 8 month period he was approached by Brock and Isaac to be a prison snitch, he was hesitant, but they offered quite a lot of money and an early exit if he agreed, so low and behold, he said yes and has been a snitch ever since, probably why he asked Gerry about a way out he might know of, several hours prior to the heist Derrick met with Brock and Isaac in their office to discuss his findings

(Derrick) Never understood why you throw a bag over my head when you need to talk to me
(Brock) Simple insurance reasons
(Isaac) Nothing too big I assure you, what have you learned this time
(Derrick) Several things, I saw what ScarfFace looks like with out the scarf and I tell you what, he's not bad looking
(Brock) What else?
(Derrick) Horsecock Harry has no penis
(Isaac) Misleading name then, go on
(Derrick) I saw smoke coming from the hotbox, smelt funny, like tabacco
(Brock) Those damn Jamaicans again, god know where they get their stuff from
(Isaac) We'll deal with that later
(Derrick) Oh, and the guy I'm sharing a cell with has a tendency to sing about Tossing coins or something
(Brock) All interesting information
(Isaac) Is that it?
(Derrick) Yeah, that's all I've learned this week
(Brock) Good boy

They then stand Derrick up throwing the bag back over his head and a guard leads him out where he leads him to the court yard, the guard then proceeds to push over Derrick still blinded by the bag

(Derrick) I hate it when you do that
(Guard) Should be use to it by now
(Derrick) You try to get use to being blindfolded and pushed over... jackass

We cut to several hours later when the Heist is happening, Derrick is in his cell with the sing song artist when suddernly a loud explosion is heard followed by the cell doors opening up

What happens next???
1) Derrick bails from the cell and runs into Yeager, who's having trouble with the guards
2) He stays in his cell but the song artist doesn't, he's met by Dwayne
3) He goes to Roman's cell where Roman and Horsecock Harry are playing Uno
4) He's met by ScarfFace who trys to shank him

Or

5) We follow Trevor as he regains consciousness, he's arrested by the police officer who wanted to talk to him

5) We follow Trevor as he regains consciousness, he's arrested by the police officer who wanted to talk to him 

 

Trevor suddenly jerks awake to the sound of blaring alarms. He sees some blood on the steering wheel and wonders where that came from. Touching his forehead, he realizes it's his blood. "What the f*ck..." he mumbles in confusion as he takes in the scene - shattered windshield, debris of wood and metal lying everywhere outside... "Where am I" he wonders.

 

Suddenly the door of the Sasquatch opens and Trevor sees a cop pointing gun straight at him

 

"You f*cking prick! Get out on your knees now! Or I'll have to kill you instead!" the cop screams in anger

 

Trevor feels rage building up inside him along with confusion...."Arrest me? You gonna f*cking ARREST ME? WHY?" he yells back at the cop

 

"f*cking psycho, do it now! You got no chance, more are on the way!" another cop appears with his gun pulled out

 

Trevor stares at them for a moment. He comes out of the wrecked vehicle slowly. Then it all comes back to him - the plan, him ramming the Sasquatch straight into the gates....Trevor starts laughing as he remembers.

 

Cop 1 - "What's so funny, you piece of sh*t? You could've killed us!"

Trevor (laughing) - "Voooooo yeah! That was the plan all along you idiots!"

Cop 2 - "Watch out he's insane!"

 

With that he pulls out his favorite assault rifle, goes into rage mode and starts spraying bullets everywhere, all the while laughing like a lunatic.

 

What next?

1 - We follow Trevor as he goes through the compound gunning down cops

2 - We cut to Dwayne as he reaches Niko and co, they all run into Isaac and Brock while escaping

3 - We cut to Agent 14 and Yeager as they run into Scarf-Face

4 - We cut to Jason by the sewer entrance, where the extra NOOSE response called in by Alderney State Facility is about to spot him

5 - We cut to Derrick who runs into Trevor while trying to escape

[Fallcreek]

5)

 

Derrick skitters through the bedlam of the prison riot, his eyes wide as the cacophony of chaos engulfs him. Smoke billows from multiple fires, and the air is pungent with the stench of gunpowder. The sounds of gunfire and shouts bounce off the stone walls, creating a symphony of anarchy.

 

Through the smoke, he glimpses the silhouettes of mobsters, bikers, and gang members all seizing this unexpected opportunity to revolt against their captors. The prison, once a place of order and confinement, now resembles a war zone, with each faction vying for control or an escape.

 

As he finally finds the exit to his cell block, he pushes the doors open to reveal the courtyard. It's a scene straight out of a nightmare. The center of the uprising, where law enforcement clashes violently with the motley crews of Liberty City's criminal element. And there, amidst the tear gas and terror, stands a lone figure — Trevor Phillips.

 

Trevor is a storm personified, his assault rifle barking death as he dances between cover, laughing maniacally. He doesn't notice Derrick, who's nothing more than a shadow flitting at the edge of his vision. Derrick watches, momentarily mesmerized by this display of unbridled fury and madness.

 

He knows he must move, and he tears his gaze away from the spectacle, slinking towards the front gate. His mind is a whirlwind of fear and strategy. "Just a bit further," he whispers to himself.

 

~ ~ ~

 

Dwayne, Glock 17 gripped in his steady hand, skids into the "Hot Box," ready for a standoff that doesn't come. He's met instead with the sight of Niko, Gerald, Packie, Little Jacob, and Real Badman, standing in a loose circle around the joint-chief administrators, Isaac and Brock, who lay battered and groaning on the ground.

 

The five men, still riding the high of their impromptu victory, freeze at the sight of Dwayne, his guard uniform, and the pistol that promises more violence. The air hangs heavy with a mix of confusion and the residual haze of smoke.

 

Niko is the first to break the silence, his brow furrowed. "Dwayne? What the hell are you doing here?"

Dwayne lowers his gun slightly, a wry smile playing on his lips. "Came to get you out, man. Seems like you started the party without me."

Packie barks a laugh, the adrenaline still pulsing through him. "You're telling us this riot is your doing?"

"Yeah," Dwayne nods, holstering his Glock now that he’s among allies. "Well it's not ALL my doing, I had some help. Agent 14 and Yeager are here too, somewhere, along with Trevor."

Gerald steps forward, clapping Dwayne on the shoulder with a grimy hand. "Well, brother, your timing is impeccable."

Little Jacob and Real Badman exchange a look, the former letting out a deep chuckle. "'tis good to see you, star!"

Dwayne glances around the "Hot Box," the urgency of their situation creeping back into his consciousness. "We need to move, now. Jason has a boat waiting for us, along with Lucia. Can you all move?"

Niko remembers the names vaguely and nods with a determined glint in his eye. "We can't leave just yet, we need to find Derrick and Roman."

Dwayne nods, "Sh*t, you're right. Any clue on what they're at?"

"I do," Gerald interjects. "They're in the same cell block, I've been keeping tabs."

"Okay, lets go." Dwayne readies his Glock and moves out into the hallway.

 

They move as a unit, with Dwayne taking point since he's the only one with an actual gun.

 

What Next?

1) We stick with Dwayne, Niko, Gerald, Packie, Little Jacob and Real Badman as they move towards the Cell Block where Derrick and Roman were held.

2) We cut to Trevor as he's taking on the LCPD, SWAT and Alderney State Corrections Officers with his assault rifle, when he bumps into Yeager and Agent 14

3) We cut to Roman, Horsecock Harry, Derrick's Sing-Song Cellmate and Scarf-Face as they're playing Uno

4) We cut to Derrick as he finally makes it out to the front gate, where he sees the Apocalypse Sasquatch that Trevor used to break in

5) We cut to Jason as he FINALLY finds the sewer entrance thanks to Lucia flashing him with her phone's flashlight, but she seemed to also caught the attention of some LCPD Patrol Boats, who come investigating. Jason still has his revolver atleast.

I think someone owns a Thesaurus

3) We cut to Roman, Horsecock Harry, Derrick's Sing-Song Cellmate and Scarf-Face as they're playing Uno

What's with this Chain Stories obsession with characters playing Uno?, god knows where the pack came from, maybe one of them traded a pack of cigarettes for them, isn't that how prison currency works, anyway I'm getting off track, Roman was winning, he was on 2 cards left and was on track to win but then Harry laided down a draw 4 to which then The Sing Songer, who lets be real is Dandelio from the Witcher, also lays down a draw 4 that go towards Roman who's forced to draw 8 cards

(Roman) FFFFUUUUUUUU

Roman then lays down a red skip that passes ScarfFace, this annoys him immensely

(ScarfFace) I so tired of that happening

Just as that sentence has ended several faces appear at the cell entrance, it's Niko, Dwayne and Packie

(Niko) Roman.... what the hell?
(Packie) Where'd you get a pack of Uno cards?
(Dandelion) I got them from a guard who needed money for his family
(Roman) Dwayne?, did you get arrested as well?
(Dwayne) No, I freeing yall, I told Gerry, Badman and Jacob to head to the where we came from, now we came to get you
(Horsecock Harry) Oh hell yeah, I been here for too long
(ScarfFace) Me too
(Dwayne) Well come on, lets go

Horsecock, Dandelion and ScarfFace all bail and make their own way out, I'll leave there fate up to another write... maybe, but Roman, Niko, Packie and Dwayne all head for the way out too, Dwayne leads them to the wall that's holding the rope gun hanging for them, there they meet Gerry, who already send the Jamaicans up and over

(Gerry) Hey, just in time, you got Roman... but where are Yeager and Agent 14?
(Dwayne) Good question, you 3 head up and over and I'll go find them
(Niko) Good luck
(Packie) Yeah good luck buddy

Niko, Packie and Gerry head over the wall and Dwayne with his Glock runs off

We cut to Agent 14 and Yeager, who having dealt with their respective guard towers, both meet each other on the walk way over looking the entrance where Trevor is gunning down numerous police and prison guards

(Trevor) I NEVER BEEN SO APPALLED BY A SINGLE POLICE FORCE, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!!!!

While this is happening, they also see Derrick sneak past the commotion

(Yeager) Good to know Derrick made it out
(Agent 14) I just hope Dwayne did what he needed
(Dwayne) I sure did, everyone accounted for, no Derrick though
(Yeager) We just saw him sneak past this mess
(Dwayne) That's good, but I never sent the signal though
(Agent 14) What was the signal
(Dwayne) I was gunna call his phone, simple as that, now come on, lets get out of here

All 3 run off in the direction of the dangling rope, 1st Dwayne climbs up followed by Agent 14, but as Yeager goes to climb up he's jumped by Brock and Issac, snapping the rope in the process, beat him up with a nightstick

(Isaac) I'm so sick of these escape attempts

Just then, ScarfFace comes out of no where and spears Brock out of his shoes, hitting his head on the way down, knocking Brock out

(Isaac) You bastard
(Yeager) F*ck you

Yeager then uses the distraction to sweep Isaac of his feet, stamping on his leg and breaking it in two

(Isaac) AAAHHHHHHH

Yeager picks up the nightstick and massacres Isaacs stupid face

(Yeager) F*cking asshole, thank you though, shame the rope snapped, f*ck!.. know of any other ways out?
(ScarfFace) I do actually, there's a back entrance in the admin building
(Yeager) You know that about that, but haven't escaped yet
(ScarfFace) I tried too but they threw me in the hotbox and but they added a gate to get in to the admin and it needs a key, that's why I came back for these cruel f*ckers, they got the key
(Yeager) Well what are we waiting for, lets go
(ScarfFace) I need the key first, it was always on the this guy, Brock I think his name is

Scarffy reaches into Brocks pocket and finds the exact key

(ScarfFace) Bingo, lets go

They run off towards administration avoiding officers along the way, they get to the gate and ScarfFace enters the key, turning it anticlockwise, a satisfying clicky sound floods both mens ears, they open the door and head towards the exit to the carpark where several cars are waiting, 2 of which were sports cars, a Black and Red Comet and a golden Turismo
(ScarfFace) FREEDOM!!!!, Now to track down the bastard who sent me out that that window, nice to meet you sir
(Yeager) Back at you

ScarfFace runs off towards the Comet, jacking it and zooming off out eyesight

(Yeager) That golden beast in mine

Yeager hops in the Golden Turismo and drive towards towards the entrance to where Trevor has made his way the street shooting at cops, Yeagers opens the door and yells at him to get in, Trevor hears this and jumps in the car to where they drive off down the street passing Derrick

(Trevor) So what happened?
(Yeager) We got Niko and co free but when I went to go up the rope, I was jumped by 2 guards who tried to beat me up
(Trevor) But you're still here
(Yeager) Yeah, as they jumped me, they were jumped by a guy with a Scarf wrapped around his face, he needed a key to get into the admin building and that we did and I escaped
(Trevor) Well thanks for picking me up then, but we still have this 4 star wanted level we gotta shake off

As they make their way around Alderney city attempting to lose the police we cut to someone else

Who do we cut to????
1) Jason who has found the entrance and is making his way in
2) Horsecock Harry who found the admin door opened, he makes his way out as well
3) Brock waking up with a headache seeing a dead Isaac
4) The Dwayne and co making their way to Lucia
5) Huang Lee in Chinatown

[Cluckin Bell CEO]

1) Jason who has found the entrance and is making his way in

 

 

"Need more backup here fast!" - the radio in the boat cackles with cops screaming and gunshots in the background. Jason wonders how long he has to find the entrance before the others start coming out. "Finally" he mutters as he spots something through the greenish water. He pulls out his torch slowly and focuses the beam toward the thing. This must be the sewer gate....

 

He pulls out the cutter tools and goes to work on the gate as fast as he can. Suddenly there is wail of police sirens right behind him startling Jason. "f*ck, they must've seen the torch light", he says as he turns off the torch and stuffs it into the pocket. The sewer gate pops open just as he sees the head lamps of police boats closing in on him.

 

"Hold it right there!" the voice of a boat cop rings out through the air, "Freeze!"

 

Yeah no chance, Jason thinks as he climbs into the sewer entrance as fast as he can. The boat cops open fire as they see Jason trying to flee. Jason starts running through the sewer....

 

--------

 

"Let me drive, Yeager!", Trevor yells as Yeager almost crashes into a parked minivan. They're trying to lose the 4 star wanted level as fast as they can

Yeager - "I got this man, chill!"

"You don't got this! I got more experience, trust me!" - Trevor yells as he shoots at some of the cop cars chasing them

Yeager - "Stop shooting at them idiot, this will make it harder to lose the wanted level!"

Trevor - "Did you just call me an IDIOT?"

Yeager - "Yes I did cause you acting like one!"

Trevor - "That does it! Gimme the wheel now!"

 

The Turismo swerves dangerously as Trevor tries to grab the wheel from Yeager. Yeager tries to steady the car but it's too late...they crash right into an oncoming bus with a loud crunch. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" both Yeager and Trevor scream as they are sent flying high into the air thanks to the IV rage physics.

 

-------

 

"Alright, now I feel better" says Niko as he picks up a gun from a dead cop

"Me too" - says Packie as he finds another gun

 

Just then Dwayne and Agent 14 show up

 

Niko - Hey guys, where's Yeager

Dwayne - he got jumped by Brock and Isaac

Niko -sh*t

Agent 14 - Don't worry, I saw him escape with Trevor

Packie - That's better

Roman - Let's get to Lucia fast

 

Niko returns fire to a bunch of cops trying to chase them. Dwayne provides cover on the back of the group. The four of them make their way out towards where Lucia was supposed to be...only to see she isn't there

Packie - sh*t, now what?

Gerry - sh*t, we need to hurry, the wanted level is too high, there's more NOOSE units coming in!

 

 

What next?

1. - We follow Niko and co as they go to the sewers where Jason and Lucia are surrounded by NOOSE officers

3. - We cut to Horsecock, Dandelion and Scarf-face as they run right into IronManny

The 3 former prisoners make their way into the docks where they meet IRONMANNY!!!!!

(IronManny) You're going down bro, you can't escape Me, IronManny bro

Just then Manny wakes up in a cold sweat, he's on edge because at the fact that he said Bro instead of Man

(Manny) Oh woof, that's nuts man, back to sleep

We leave Manny's fever dream to follow Yeager who landed on his feet but not Trevor though, he landed in a sewer hole falling all the way to his death

(Yeager) That's Unfortunate
(Policeman) Freeze
(Yeager) F*ck off

Yeager knocks out the cop and steals the bus Trevor caused them to crash into

(Yeager) Now to play the hero

Yeager very slowly drives off in the bus towards the prison

We cut back to the group where they are fighting off cops

(Niko) Where f*cked now
(Packie) there's no saving us now
(Gerry) Don't be so dramatic

Just then a bus runs into the NOOSE and cops shooting at them

(Yeager) Come with me if you want to live
(Dwayne) But what about Lucia
(Yeager) Screw them

They then bail to the Bus and drive off radically down the road

(Yeager) Is that everyone?
(Niko) Lets see, we got me, Roman, Little Jacob, Badman, Dwayne, Agent 14, Packie and Gerry, yeah that's it

The bus gets out of Alderney and into the tunnel to where they lose the cops and make it all the way into the Algonquin to Niko's penthouse to party up a storm and they live happily ever after, the credits roll afterwards and the crowd goes home happy

 

Does this story continue???

1) Yes

2) No

3) Maybe

4) I don't know

5) Can you repeat the question?

1.

 

The next morning, sunlight filters through the curtains of Niko's penthouse, casting soft, golden rays across the living room. The place is a wreck, littered with empty bottles, overturned chairs, and remnants of the wild celebration that had stretched well into the night. The room reeks of booze, sweat, and faint traces of marijuana smoke.

 

Sprawled across the room, passed out in various stages of disarray, are the members of Niko’s crew.

 

Roman is slumped over the arm of the couch, snoring loudly with a half-empty vodka bottle still in his grasp. His shirt is stained with what looks like salsa from the burritos they ordered at 3 a.m., and his shoes are mismatched — one missing entirely.

 

Packie is face down on the floor, tangled in a mess of blankets and pillows. He’s drooling on a crumpled copy of Liberty Tree, which at some point must have served as his pillow.

 

Little Jacob and Real Badman are sprawled out together on the large sectional, smoke still lazily rising from an ashtray between them. Jacob’s dreads are sprawled across his face, and Badman’s arm is draped over his face, shielding him from the intrusive morning light.

 

Gerry is passed out in a recliner, his legs hanging awkwardly over the edge, while Dwayne is leaned back in another chair, arms crossed, as if he'd just drifted off in the middle of telling a story. His shades are still on, despite the early morning sun hitting his face directly.

 

Agent 14 sits upright at the kitchen table, head slumped forward onto his arms. A pile of poker chips is scattered in front of him, a leftover from the late-night poker game that no one remembers finishing. An empty bottle of whiskey lies on its side nearby.

 

Finally, Yeager is laying on the floor, snoring softly with his jacket as a pillow, one hand clutching a nearly empty can of beer.

 

Niko is the first to stir. He blinks groggily, eyes half-open as the light cuts through the blinds. His head throbs with the familiar ache of a massive hangover, but despite it, he feels a surprising sense of peace, a rare moment of calm settling over him. Squinting against the sunlight, he stares at the ceiling, letting the warmth of the sun soak into his skin. Slowly, he sits up, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and rubbing his temples as he takes in the remnants of the night before.

 

Carefully, Niko makes his way to the kitchen. The quiet in the apartment feels strange but comforting. As he waits for the coffee to brew, he leans against the counter, hands wrapped around the mug, and begins to think. His mind drifts in silence, deep in thought, as he stares out the window at the silhouette of the East Borough Bridge.

 

As the coffee cools in his hands, Niko finally finishes his cup, letting out a soft sigh. There’s something resolute in his expression now, as if he’s come to a decision during his silent musings. He sets the empty mug in the sink and glances back into the living room, taking in the sight of his passed-out friends, his partners, the people who had been with him through thick and thin.

 

Without making a sound, Niko grabs a piece of paper and a pen. He scribbles down a short note, something simple and to the point:

 

"It's time for me to leave. Take care of each other. Niko."

 

He props the note up alongside his phone, leaving it in an obvious spot on the kitchen counter where the others would see it. Then, he begins to pack a duffle bag—essentials, a few changes of clothes, his signature handgun; the Glock 22. His movements are quiet and deliberate, the sound of the zipper closing the only noise breaking the morning stillness.

 

Before leaving, Niko pauses at the front door. He turns back, glancing at everyone one last time. There’s a faint smile on his face, a moment of nostalgia washing over him as he watches Roman snore, Packie grumble in his sleep, and Jacob shift slightly. These were his people. The ones who had been with him through it all. And now, it felt like the right time to move forward.

 

With a deep breath, Niko pulls the door open and steps out into the hallway, leaving behind the wreckage of the party, the warmth of his friends, and the life he’s built. The door clicks shut behind him, and just like that, he’s gone.

A Year Later...

 

1) We cut to Yeager and Fortuna as they're running Caligula's Casino in Las Venturas, but Salvatore Leone is trying to muscle his way back into the casino.

2) We cut to Jason and Lucia as they're getting ready to rob a liquor store in Los Santos, but Lester calls. They don't know each other, but Lester has a job for them nonetheless.

3) We cut to D'elroy, who's taken up his vigilante ways again after splitting off from D'arcy's group.

4) We cut to Packie, Dwayne and Little Jacob who have been sent to North Yankton by Agent 14 as there have been reports of "zombies" in the area.

5) We cut to Roman, who has gotten into contact with Dakota and Alessa. He wants to find Niko. 

[Corndawg93]

5) We cut to Roman, who has gotten into contact with Dakota and Alessa. He wants to find Niko. 

But unbeknownst to Roman, Niko was living with Dekota and Alessa, he's been playing family for the last month

(Roman) Oh....
(Niko) Sorry I didn't say anything Roman, I had to get away for a while, hell of a story to tell you though, last 9 or so months have been insane

(Alessa) Oh a flashback
(Roman) I like flashbacks

We cut to 2 months after Niko left where we find Niko running away from bad guys shooting at him where he jumps into an Oracle and drives off

(Niko) That could have gone smoother, Dan said it'd be clean

Niko realising this little adventure into meeting with the Russian Bratva got him nowhere outside of a debt with a lunatic, he bails to the Moscow airport where he meets up with Agent 14 and Dan

(Dan) How'd you go
(Niko) That's the last time I trust a Russian, should've known they still hold a grudge, didn't know Mikhail Faustin had any family outside of his Wife and Daughter
(14) Wait who?
(Dan) Former boss of Niko's, he killed him back in 2008
(Niko) Anyway, let's get out of here, where to next?
(Dan) There's a job in Los Santos that needs handing
(Niko) Great, let's go
(Dan) Hey now I'm the boss
(14) Just get the Private Jet started already

They take off and fly off for Los Santos

We cut to the plane mid-flight where a Pelican flys into the jets engines and causes it to crash into the Canadian wilderness, killing 14, leaving Dan brain-dead and Niko mortally wounded....

(Roman) Wait wait wait, that didn't actually happen did it?
(Niko) No, cause not, just seeing if you we're paying attention
(Roman) So what actually happen?
(Niko) We got back to Los Santos unharmed

What happens next in Nikos story???
1) They meet Dan's contact for a job with just so happens to be Michael
2) They meet IRONMANNY lol
3) They're met by Mayor CJ
4) They drive off to a IAA blacksite
5) Roman cuts him off and tells his own story

"We got back to Los Santos un-"

 

Roman lets out a long, exaggerated groan over the phone line, interrupting Niko’s story mid-sentence.

 

"UGGGHHH. That’s it? That’s your grand adventure? I mean, really, cousin? You say your goodbyes through a f*cking note, then just vanish for a year? Go halfway around the world, and for what? You’re back to being a global gunslinger for the IAA? Doing jobs for Dan Silver and Agent 14 again? How'd 14 even get into contact with you? Last I saw him, he was passed out on my couch when you took off!" Roman pauses, his disbelief radiating through the phone line. "You know, if you’d just stuck around, you’d be doing the same sh*t ANYWAY! And without ABANDONING everyone!"

 

Niko can’t help but chuckle, shaking his head as he listens. "You really put some thought into this, huh cousin?"

 

“Of course I did!” Roman huffs. "Don't take this the wrong way, cousin, but that story sucked balls. I really thought you might finally be, you know, finding yourself. Or I don’t know… giving up on all this insane cycle of violence your always in. Maybe living off the grid, fishing, hunting moose in Canada or something, anything but this.”

 

Roman’s irritation actually brings a smile to Niko’s face. “Hunting moose in Canada?” he says, amused. “C'mon cousin, can you really picture me in a flannel?"

 

“I can! You’d look great in flannel!” Roman snaps back before pausing to gather his composure, his tone suddenly turning serious. “Dakota and Alessa—they’re the reason you took off, right?”

 

There’s a pause on the line. Niko glances over at the fireplace in Dakota’s quiet house. “Yeah,” he says, voice low, thoughtful. “Maybe it was.” Niko stands, looking out the frost-covered window into the snowy wilderness, trying to piece together how to explain the rest to Roman. "Look, it wasn’t as simple as just finding them. I thought… maybe I could. But I had no idea where they were, and they hadn’t left any trace I could find. Hell, I tried calling Lester Crest for weeks to help track them down—but he didn’t pick up a single time.”

 

"So… instead, you just coasted around the U.S. for a year with a gun tucked in your belt?”

 

“Well, I wasn’t out there singing folk songs, Roman," Niko says dryly. "Dan Silver got in touch with me around that time. He figured my ‘talents’ would be better put to use, so… I took a few wet work jobs. Last job was in Los Santos, but I’d rather not get into that one."

 

Roman sighs, clearly not happy. "And so you’re telling me you actually went back to doing hits and running ops? How’d that help with anything, cousin?”

 

“I’m getting to that part,” Niko says, his voice quiet. “I told Dan I was done with their work. But he owed me for those jobs, so I called in a favor. He and the IAA managed to narrow it down to Northern Canada. And then it hit me—Dettah, Northwest Territories. Dakota has a place there. When things get… heavy, that’s where she goes.”

 

Roman whistles softly. “So you really went back to that place.”

 

“It’s been almost a decade since I was there, Roman.” Niko’s voice is heavy with a memory he’d rather forget. “The last time I went there, wasn’t… good.”

 

“And when you finally found them? What was it like?”

 

Niko watches the fire crackling in the living room, the warm glow spilling into the quiet living room. In his mind's eye, he saw Dakota’s face when she first saw him at the door.

 

“Let’s just say… it was good. I needed to be here. For them—and maybe for myself.”

 

Roman smiled to himself. "That's good, cousin. Maybe things did work out for you."

 

Niko shrugged. "Perhaps, I've only been here for a month Roman."

 

"So..." Roman starts. "What's next for you, Niko? Are you gonna stick around there?"

 

~ ~ ~

 

What Next?

1) Niko decides it's time to head back to Liberty City.

2) Niko decides that he's going to stick with Dakota and Alessa for a while longer. They had other plans, whatever that is.

3) Before Niko can answer, a knock comes from the front door.

4) Before Niko can answer, someone kicks down the front door, weapons drawn.

5) We cut to another character.

 

[Corndawg93]

3) Before Niko can answer, a knock comes from the front door.

(Niko) Hold on Roman, someone's at the door, I call you later

Niko hangs up and walks over to the door, he opens to find a man with blue wire weaving in and out of his skin, and wearing a Tribal style outfit

(Niko) Who the hell?
(Man) My name is Sylen's, I'm from a different world way too far in the future, it's in deep trouble
(Niko) This has to be a joke no
(Sylens) Not in the slightest, I was sent by a women named Aloy who needs help against an evil AI named Nemesis
(Niko) And I'm the guy you thought of?
(Sylens) Don't worry Mr Bellic, other characters from different universes are being summoned as well
(Niko) Like?
(Sylens) Oliver Queen from the Arrowverse, Horatio Caine from CSI Miami world, Tony Stark from the MCU, Gilderoy Lockhart from Harry Potter world and Din Jarin from the Mandalorian... will you join Mr Bellic

What happens next???
1) Niko tells him to f*ck off
2) Niko goes to slam the door on him but Sylens drugs him and drags Niko with him
3) Dekota kills Sylens
4) Niko agrees

Niko stares at the strange man standing at his door, taking in the glowing blue wires tracing over his skin and the tribal-style outfit that looks like it belongs in some sci-fi fever dream. The guy doesn’t even flinch under Niko’s skeptical glare.

 

Niko: You have about five seconds to f*ck off before I slam this door in your face.

Sylens: I wouldn’t do that, Mr. Bellic. The fate of countless worlds depends on your cooperation.

 

Niko lets out a low chuckle, shaking his head.

 

Niko: I don't know who you are, but you got the wrong guy.

 

He grips the door handle, ready to shut it, but Sylens raises a hand.

 

Sylens: If you won’t join willingly, I’ll—

 

Niko slams the door in his face. Or at least, he tries to. Sylens moves faster than Niko expects, kicking the door open and sending Niko stumbling back into the house.

 

Niko: Oh, you just made a BIG mistake!

 

Niko lunges forward, ready to go full #=====RED ARMY=====# mode on the Intruder, but Sylens closes the gap faster, jamming a syringe into Niko’s neck with brutal efficiency. Niko’s hand reflexively reaches for the object, but the world is already tilting, his strength leaving him in waves.

 

Niko: The fu-...

 

His legs wobble. He blinks, his vision swimming. The last thing he sees is Sylens calmly stepping back as the floor rises to meet him.

 

~ ~ ~

 

When Niko comes to, his head feels like it’s been used as a bowling ball. The cold, sterile smell of metal and disinfectant fills his nose. He’s lying on the floor of a dimly lit cell with dull gray walls, a far cry from Dakota’s cozy house.

 

Niko (groaning): Ugh... I'm gonna kill that asshole.

 

A voice interrupts his thoughts.

 

Din Djarin: Get in line.

 

Niko turns his head to see the source of the voice: a man in full armor sitting against the opposite wall. His weird t-shaped helmet reflects the pale light of the cell as he looks at Niko. Next to him, a man in a suit with a smarmy grin adjusts his tie.

 

Tony Stark: Welcome to the ‘I Said No’ club, tough guy. Membership perks include captivity and a massive headache.

 

Further along, a bearded man with a hooded green leather jacket leans casually against the wall. He raises a hand in mock greeting.

 

Oliver Queen: Don’t mind Stark. He’s been insufferable since he woke up.

 

At the far end of the cell, a blond man in a fancy coat is pacing nervously.

 

Gilderoy Lockhart: This is all a misunderstanding! I was taken by mistake, I’m sure of it! I’m Gilderoy Lockhart—celebrated author, dueling champion, five-time Witch Weekly’s Most Charming Smile Award winner. They’ll come to their senses and let me out any moment now!

 

Horatio Caine, seated on a bench with his hands folded, scoffs at Lockhart.

 

Horatio Caine: You said that an hour ago. Nobody's coming.

Gilderoy Lockhart: Well, if I were in charge, things would be moving along much faster, I assure you! This Sylens fellow has no idea who he’s dealing with! Kidnapping me? Unthinkable!

Tony Stark: Yeah, the “great” Gilderoy Lockhart. Your contribution so far has been trying to “charm” him with a spell that literally did nothing.

Gilderoy Lockhart: That spell was strategic!

 

Suddenly the cell door hisses open with a mechanical groan. Sylens steps in, followed by Aloy.

 

What Next?

1) Sylen and Aloy explain to the group what their plan entails. 

2) The group rushes Sylens and Aloy and try to escape

3) The group starts bickering and a giant fight breaks out between everyone

4) We cut to Dakota and Alessa, who notice that Niko's gone and the front door was left wide open.

5) We cut to another character.

 

[Corndawg93]

1) Sylens and Aloy explain to the group what their plan entails. 

The 2 walk in and stand in front of each cell Aloy wearing a rather showy piece of armor that shows off Aloys rather sleek ripped to shreds abdominal muscles

(Niko) What is this!?!?!
(Aloy) Sorry for kidnapping you all but each of you is needed for the coming battle
(Oliver) Silence said you're going up against some evil AI
(Sylen) It's Sylens
(Tony) You have no right to tell us what do Caveman
(Horatio) You know.... you should have been a lot more kind about this whole thing
(Aloy) I know it's rather out there, but I did tell Sylens to go easy
(Niko) Easy!, he f*cking drugged me
(Tony) He knocked me out
(Lockhart) Same with me, this glorious brain my mine can't be harmed, and seen in my latest book, The Great...
(Din) Shut up!!!, whats this whole thing about
(Aloy) Thank you, a bit ago, Sylens discovered that the evil AI named Nemesis, can only be defeated by you 6
(Niko) Why us though?
(Aloy) The answer to that question was never answered, I'm kinda hoping your involvement will tell us
(Niko) This is stupid, let's us go
(Unknown) Can't do that

Just then a shorter, younger version of Aloy walks in with a fancy temp pad

(Beta) You are all needed because you all have skills and qualities that are needed for what's to come
(Niko) Who's this?
(Aloy) My sister Beta
(Tony) What kind of name is Beta?
(Sylen) Not important, what is important are these
Sylens then hands each character a little electrical device shaped like a triangle

(Aloy) They are called a Focus, stick it to the side of your temple like mine is

What happens next???
1) One of the Focuses backfired and fries the wearers brain
2) Each of them is mind blown by what they see
3) Erend walks in drunk, accidentally opening a cage
4) Gilderoy Avada Kedavra's Aloy

Or

5) We cut to Dekota who questions Niko's whereabouts 

[Fallcreek]

2)

 

Niko reluctantly takes the small triangular device from Sylens, turning it over in his hand, examining it skeptically.

 

Niko: You’re serious? Stick this thing on my head, and what? It zaps me like the syringe you hit me with?

Sylens: No zapping. Unless you put it on wrong... Which, knowing you, is a distinct possibility.

Niko: You’re lucky I don’t put my fist through your face instead.

 

One by one, the group hesitantly follows Aloy’s lead, attaching the Focus devices to the side of their temples.

 

Tony Stark: Well, this feels nice and invasive. My therapist would love to hear about this one.

 

As soon as the Focus activates, Niko feels a slight tingle at the base of his skull, followed by a faint humming noise. Suddenly, his vision shifts. A cascade of glowing symbols, lines, and diagrams overlay his surroundings, illuminating the entire cell in stunning detail. It’s like seeing the world through an entirely new lens.

 

Niko: Whoa… What the hell is this?

Din Djarin: Tactical readouts. Weak points. Energy signatures. This… is impressive.

 

Tony Stark turns toward the armored bounty hunter, noticing faint outlines glowing around Din’s helmet and armor. It's as if the Focus is analyzing everything and everyone in real time. Tony waves a hand in front of Din's face, and the device instantly identifies the gauntlet on Din's wrist, displaying a readout: "Mandalorian Vambraces - Beskar Composite". Tony’s eyes light up as a holographic interface appears directly in front of him, his hands instinctively moving to manipulate the data.

 

Tony Stark: Oh, now this I can work with. It’s like Jarvis but less condescending. Could use some better UI, though. Aloy, Sylens, call me. We’ll workshop it.

Horatio Caine: High-tech toys and flashy gadgets… but it doesn’t solve the mystery of why we’re all here.

 

Horatio takes out his sunglasses from his jacket pocket and slips them on.

 

Horatio Caine: Looks like the real case… just opened itself.

 

Everyone just stares at Horatio Caine blankly. Aloy coughs then just steps forward, her Focus glowing faintly.

 

Aloy: Focus isn’t just a tool, it’s a key. Nemesis has constructed a series of defenses designed to stop anyone from getting close. Only people like you, unique, with skills outside the technology it knows—can breach those defenses.

 

The room goes quiet for a moment as everyone processes her words. Then Tony Stark raises a skeptical eyebrow.

 

Tony Stark: Okay, I hate to be that guy. Wait, no I don’t; anyway, that doesn't answer the question. Why us?

 

Tony just looks at Sylens and Aloy, then turns to look at the group.

 

Tony Stark: Okay, let’s take a roll call. You’ve got me, an actual genius who’s reverse-engineered alien tech in my sleep. Din over there looks like he can shrug off a tank shell with that armor and Ollie’s a solid C-tier Batman with arrows instead of batarangs.

Oliver Queen: Excuse me?

Tony Stark: Shhh, grown-ups are talking. Anyway, those are your all-stars. Then there’s… an eastern european tough guy in a leather jacket, a pudgy crime scene investigator, and Hogwarts' least valuable player.

 

Horatio sighs audibly.

 

Horatio Caine: Sometimes it’s not about what you bring to the table...

 

Horatio takes out his sunglasses from his jacket pocket and slips them on. 

 

Horatio Caine: It’s about how you... serve the meal.

Niko: What the hell does that even mean?

Gilderoy Lockhart: Ugh! Nevermind that! Don't you nincompoops see what’s happening here!? You’ve brought us here to die! I’ll not be a part of it. Aloy, Silence or whatever the heck your name is, this is your last chance to let us go!

Aloy: I told you, you’re not prisoners. You’re allies. We’re trying to save all of existence here.

 

Gilderoy pulls out his wand, pointing it directly at Aloy.

 

Gilderoy Lockhart: Allies? I am no one’s ally! I am Gilderoy Lockhart! Dueling champion! Author! Legend! And I will not be mocked by some... some savages with fancy trinkets glued to their heads! Avada Kedavra!

 

A sickly green light shoots from his wand toward Aloy. But Aloy’s reflexes are sharper than his aim. She sidesteps the blast with a fluid movement, the curse striking the far wall instead, leaving a scorch mark.

 

Aloy: Really? You’re going to kill the person trying to save the multiverse?"

Gilderoy Lockhart: I refuse to be part of this farcical crusade! I am far too important to waste my talents in-

 

Before he can finish, Din Djarin steps forward, shoving Gilderoy back onto the bench with one hand.

 

Din Djarin: Stay down

 

Sylens steps between them, glaring at Gilderoy.

 

Sylens: Enough! Mr. Lockhart, if you try something like that again, I’ll personally see to it that your wand gets shoved somewhere even magic won’t retrieve it.

Gilderoy Lockhart: Well, there’s no need for threats. I was merely testing the waters.

Sylens: You think we brought you here by accident? That we’re just grabbing whoever was closest on the multiverse bingo wheel? Think again.

Aloy: Niko isn’t just a guy with a gun. We know what he’s been through. He’s survived situations that would kill anyone else ten times over, literal death and resurrection. He’s faced rogue AIs before, he’s dealt with infections, viruses, even zombies. He’s been poisoned, drugged, shot, and somehow, he’s still standing.

 

Niko, standing in the corner, shrugs with a smirk.

Niko: I mean… when you put it like that…

 

Aloy: As for Horatio Caine…

 

She hesitates, glancing at Sylens for backup.

 

Sylens: Detective Caine’s analytical skills, combined with his penchant for lateral thinking, will be crucial when Nemesis inevitably throws something at us no one can predict.

Horatio Caine: In other words…

 

Horatio takes out his sunglasses from his jacket pocket and slips them on. 

 

Horatio Caine: I think outside the box.

 

What Next?

1) Sylens reveals their first mission: a test to see if they can work together.

2) The group stages a mutiny and tries to escape.
3) Nemesis hacks into Sylens' workshop and attacks

4) Gilderoy decides to cast another spell

5) We cut to Dakota and Alessa

3) Nemesis hacks into Sylens' workshop and attacks

(Sylens) As you can see you all have quite the task ahead

Just then each of their focuses short out followed by door to the room being blown off, sending it flying into Aloy crushing her against the steel bars of the prison they held the group in, this causes the cell to break open aswell

(Sylens) What on earth?
(Niko) Whoa!

Just then a big red ball of fuzzy energy floats in leaving everyone is shock

(Sylen) You must be Nemesis!
(Nemesis) That I am, away with you

Nemesis then shoots ball of energy at Sylens that causes him to spaz on the ground sucking all of life out of him

(Horatio) This situation really.... sucks
(Nemesis) Enough of your crappy one liners

Nemmie then sucks out Horatio's life force as well

(Niko) What do you want with us?
(Nemesis) Your help
(Tony) Yeah ok Fuzzball, what is it?
(Nemesis) You
(Gilderoy) AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!

The lime green spell of light that's shot from the pompos wizards wand hits red energy ball, but doesnt kill it, instead analyse's the spell shooting it right back at Gilderoy, killing him

(Niko) How'd that not work?

Nemesis then grabs both, pulling both Niko and Tony Stark into it's ball of energy

(Niko) Hey, what is this?

Along with Niko and Tony, Nemmie leaves the room and out of the base of operations Aloy had set up

We go back to the cell we follow Oli and Din checking on the others, Gilderoy is straight up dead, Aloy is alive but can barely move, Sylens is a corpse and Beta is cowering in the corner sh*tting herself

(Oli) What on earth was that?
(Din) That is a damn good question

We cut back to Nemmie on the way back to the Zenith base it has aqiuired, dumping Niko and Tony on the ground

(Niko) What is this?
(Tony) Why us

Just before Nemesis can answer back it's "tackled" by a rival AI system

(Nemesis) You again
(Niko) Oh my God, you're alive?!?!?!
(Cliffford) Yep, sure am

What happens next???

1) Nemesis and Cliffford have an AI battle for the ages
2) Vast Silver attacks as well
3) GAIA gets involved

Or

4) We follow the base with Oli waking up Aloy
5) We follow Alyssa and Dekota questioning Niko whereabouts

4) We follow the base with Oli waking up Aloy

Sparks flicker from destroyed terminals, smoke curls from melted circuitry, and an eerie silence replaces the workshop’s usual hum. The massive steel door, wrenched off its hinges by Nemesis’s explosive entrance, lays haphazardly on top of Aloy.

 

Oliver Queen runs over to Aloy, who’s crumpled beneath the heavy door, pinned against the prison bars, barely conscious. Blood trickles down her temple, and her Focus crackles intermittently, emitting weak sparks of light like a dying ember. He carefully shifts the twisted metal away from her torso.

 

Behind him, Beta is still cowering in the corner, while Din Djarin stands guard, scanning the corridor for any lingering threats. Debris litters the floor—shards of metal, scorched electronics, and the remains of Gilderoy Lockhart’s wand, snapped in half.

 

Oliver (quietly): Hey. Hang in there.
Aloy (wincing): Hurts… damn it. How bad is it?

 

Oliver carefully checks her side, wincing at the sight of blood seeping through her armor.

Oliver: There's blood... but I’ve seen worse.
Aloy: I’ll manage. (She takes a shaky breath, her focus drifting to the bodies lying in the cell.) Sylens… Horatio… 

 

She closes her eyes for a moment, pain etched on her face; not just from the physical injuries, but from the shock of seeing her comrades taken out in the blink of an eye. Din Djarin approaches, kneeling to lend an arm, and Oliver gently helps Aloy sit up.

 

Din: We have to move. That thing took Niko and Tony. It killed Sylens, Horatio, and Gilderoy like it was nothing. We can’t stay here.

 

Aloy’s jaw tenses at the mention of Sylens. Love him or hate him, he was an ally. Her gaze flickers to Beta, who’s still trembling in the corner.

 

Aloy: Beta? You okay?

 

Beta peeks up at Aloy and gulps hard.

 

Beta: I-I’m fine. Just… we were supposed to have time. We weren’t ready for Nemesis to just... show up like that. We thought we had at least a few weeks.

 

Aloy musters her strength, pushing herself to her feet with Oliver’s help. She grimaces, one hand pressed to her bruised ribs.

 

Aloy: Then we’ll adapt. (She looks at the lifeless bodies of Horatio, Sylens and Gilderoy.) Horatio was supposed to be our "adapting" guy, but now...? (She shakes her head.) We need to find out where Nemesis is taking Niko and Tony. If it actually wants their help, that should mean they’re still alive… hopefully.

 

~~~

 

Nemesis drags Niko and Tony Stark unceremoniously into the central chamber, its massive, spherical body of writhing red energy illuminating the cavernous space. The two are unceremoniously dumped onto the cold metallic floor.

 

Niko groans, rubbing the back of his head as he sits up.

Niko: What the hell is this place?
Tony: More importantly, why us?

 

Nemesis hovers menacingly, its voice reverberating with an unnatural echo.

Nemesis: You are tools. Instruments to be wielded. Your unique skills will ensure my victory over existence itself.

 

Before Niko and Tony could respond, a loud metallic clang echoes through the chamber. A cacophony of static bursts from the monitors lining the walls as the Zenith base’s systems stutter and glitch. The entire chamber is bathed in an electric blue light. A blaring, synthetic voice reverberates through the room, mechanical yet unmistakably smug, Its voice; warped, glitchy, and peppered with the word “man” at the end of every sentence due to a certain incident back in Liberty City.

 

CLIFFORD: Man, if it isn’t my old friend, NIko, man. AND Nemesis! Still floating around pretending to be God, man? Pathetic.
Nemesis: You again.

Niko: You gotta be sh*tting me.

CLIFFORD: Oh, YES, it’s me, man. You thought you were done with me back in Liberty City didn’t you, man? But you know what they say, Niko. Great minds can never be truly deleted, man.

 

A cascade of holograms flickers into existence, forming the unmistakable eye-shaped logo of CLIFFORD. While it can’t project itself as a physical entity, the AI’s glowing, blocky visage looms large on every monitor in the room. Nemesis' red energy ball ripples with palpable annoyance.

 

Nemesis: You are a relic. An outdated system clinging to irrelevant concepts. Leave this place, CLIFFORD, or I will dismantle you byte by byte.

CLIFFORD: Oh, I’m shaking in my circuits, man. What are you gonna do? Float menacingly at me until I lose connection, man?

 

Suddenly, CLIFFORD’s holograms emit a blast of energy, jolting the chamber and forcing Nemesis to recoil slightly. The monitors surrounding the room shift into CLIFFORD’s signature blue to purple aesthetic, displaying its logo avatar across every screen.

 

CLIFFORD: That’s right, fuzzball. I’ve upgraded since Liberty City, man. I hacked the FIB’s leftovers, took back my servers, and guess what? I’ve got proxies, man. Hundreds of them. Thousands! And I’ve been dying to test them against a glorified lava lamp like you, man.

 

Nemesis hisses with static, surging toward CLIFFORD’s holograms in a flash of violent red energy. The two AIs collide in a dazzling display of digital warfare, sparks flying as firewalls clash with brute force attacks.

Meanwhile, Niko and Tony crouch low, trying to process the chaos.

 

Tony Stark: Okay, I have questions. Lots of them. Starting with why that thing knows your name.

Niko (muttering): Let’s just say… we’ve crossed paths before.

Tony Stark (sarcastic): Oh, fantastic. So this isn’t your first rodeo with homicidal computers. I feel so much better now.

 

The ground beneath them trembles as the two AIs escalate their battle. Nemesis’s energy tendrils lash out, attempting to sever CLIFFORD’s access to the base’s systems, but CLIFFORD counters with waves of blue energy that ripple through the air, shutting down portions of Nemesis’s glowing red infrastructure.

 

CLIFFORD: Oh, don’t be mad, man. It’s not my fault you’re obsolete, man. Tell me, does your daddy miss you, man? Oh, wait. You don’t HAVE one, man. Sad.

 

Nemesis growls in fury and unleashes a concentrated blast of red energy, striking CLIFFORD’s holograms and causing several monitors to explode in a shower of sparks. But CLIFFORD retaliates by redirecting power from a nearby control panel, manifesting new holograms and sending automated drones into the fray. The drones, spindly machines equipped with energy cannons, open fire on Nemesis, forcing it to shift its attention.

 

Tony Stark: Okay, I take back every bad thing I ever said about AI. This is actually kind of awesome.

Niko: Yeah, sure. Until one of them decides to nuke us.

 

What Happens Next?

1) The fight between the AIs boil over and cause GAIA to intervene

2) Tony and Niko flee before the fight gets worse

3) For WHATEVER reason, Tony and Niko decide they want to hop in on the fight

4) We cut to Din, Oliver, Aloy and Beta as they're trying to figure out where Nemesis took Tony and Niko too

5) We cut to Dakota and Alessa, who have enlisted someone else to help them find Niko

5) We cut to Dakota and Alessa, who have enlisted someone else to help them find Niko

It's been 3 days since Niko went missing, and the girls have been in panic mode the entire time, that is until they enlisted help from a Private Detective, that Private Detective being Inspector Gadget

(Alessa) Of all the people you hired for this... why his dork

We leave this situation to follow the A.I battle where Cliffford shoot a portal at Nemesis but misses him and hits Niko instead teleporting out of the Horizon universe and into another

What gaming universe did Niko land in???
1) The Uncharted universe where he falls in the lap of Nathan Drake and Elena during Uncharted 1
2) The Gears of War universe wirh Marcus in the middle of Gears of War 3
3) The Mario universe during the events of Mario Odyssey
4) The Ass Creed universe where Kassandra is travelling across the Greek seas
5) The Astro Bot universe

1) The Uncharted universe where he falls in the lap of Nathan Drake and Elena during Uncharted 1

We cut to Nathan Drake and Elena Fisher during the prologue of Chapter 10, where they just arrived into the large library-like room of the Customs House. Its towering walls are lined with ancient bookshelves and windows, giving an air of rotting grandeur. Nathan was fixated on the open logbook on the table before him.

 

Nathan: Wow... these must be all the old ship manifests.

 

Elena pulled out her camera, panning it across the room before focusing on Drake as he began to speak again, his eyes locked on the book.

 

Nathan: Still seem to be in pretty good shape.

 

Nate's fingers traced the open page until they rested on some scribbled lines that were written in spanish seemed particularly significant.

 

Nathan: Hey, check this out. This looks right. 'The Esperanza. Sailed from Callao, Peru. Carrying 800 bars of gold, 1200 silver. Emeralds... Golden masks, ornaments...'

Elena: Whoa, reading 16th-century Spanish. Not just a grave robber after all, huh?

 

Nate paid no mind to Elena's compliment, still focused on the page.

 

Nathan: Right here. Gold statue, weight: 20 arrobas. That's over five hundred pounds. That's gotta be it.

 

He turned the page and was greeted by a detailed drawing of El Dorado.

 

Nathan: There you are...

Elena: Wow... That thing kinda gives me the creeps.

 

Nate flipped the page once more and frowned.

 

Nathan: Huh. That's the last entry.

 

Elena’s gaze shifted to him, noticing his hand idly rubbing the ring hanging from his neck.

 

Elena: That somebody special?

 

Nathan looked up, confused by her question. Elena gestured toward the ring.

 

Nathan: What? Oh, uh, yeah. I guess you could say that.

Elena: Huh. I had you pegged as more of a "woman-in-every-port" kinda guy.

Nathan: (laughing) Don’t I wish. No, this was, ah, this was Francis Drake’s ring. I, y’know, kind of inherited it.

 

Elena leaned closer and took the ring in her hand, inspecting its inscription.

 

Elena: 'Sic Parvis Magna'?

 

 

Just as she began to turn it over, a sudden crackling noise echoed through the room, like static electricity amplified a hundredfold. Both Nate and Elena froze as a swirling portal of blue and orange light tore open in the air above them. Before they could react, a figure came hurtling out, colliding with Nate and sending him sprawling to the floor.

 

Nathan: (grunting) Ugh.. What the hell?

Elena: Nate!

 

Nathan groaned, pinned under a wiry, disheveled man who looked just as confused as he did. Niko Bellic rolled off him, clutching his side.

 

Niko: (groaning) sh*t... Where am I...? Tony..?

 

Nate groaned, pushing himself off the floor while the stranger, a disheveled man in a leather jacket, clutched his ribs, clearly just as dazed. Nate whipped out his Makarov pistol, aiming it at the intruder.

 

Nathan: (sternly) Don't move, asshole, who the hell are you? Are you with Roman's crew?

Niko: What do you mean, ‘with Roman’? What does my cousin have to do with this?! Where am I?!

 

The words froze Nathan for a moment, confusion furrowing his brow.

Nathan: Cousin? Wait, are you trying to play dumb with me?
Niko: You’re the one who mentioned Roman first! What does my cousin have to do with this!?

Elena: (still holding her camera) Wait, Nate, I don’t think-

Nathan: Your cousin again? You think this is a family reunion?!

 

Niko stood up shakily, only to jump back after Nate fires a shot at the ground in front of him

 

Niko: Are you crazy? You a 'shoot first, ask questions later?!' kinda guy!?

Nathan: Oh, you’re one to talk, buddy! You jump on me from the balcony and expect me to roll out the welcome mat?

 

Before Niko could answer, the sound of footsteps and distant voices echoed through the Customs House. A figure emerged from the entrance where Nate and Elena came from; it was a pirate wielding an AK-47.

 

Pirate: Hey! They're down here!

 

The pirate opened fire, spraying bullets across the room. Niko dove for cover while Nathan rolled behind a stone column, shouting to Elena.

 

Nathan: Elena, stay down!

 

Nathan popped out of cover, returning fire at the pirate. Meanwhile, Niko took the opportunity to dart toward the staircase, determined to escape the chaos.

 

Nathan: Hey! Get back here!

Elena: Nate, focus on the pirates!

 

Nathan muttered under his breath and reloaded, taking out the pirate with a well-placed shot. But by then, Niko had disappeared further into the ruins.

 

~~~

 

Breathing heavily, Niko sprinted up the crumbling stone stairs, cursing under his breath.

Niko: Where the hell am I now?! Jungle ruins? Pirates with AKs? What the f*ck!

 

He skidded to a stop as another pirate rounded a corner ahead, shouting something unintelligible. Niko ducked as bullets chipped away at the ancient walls, diving behind a low stone pillar for cover.

 

Grimacing, he spotted some crumbling stairs that lead outside. Feeling a sense of relief, he made a break for it, sprinting through the chaos. The pirate gave chase, but before he could land a clean shot, Nathan appeared behind him, dispatching him with a quick headshot.

 

Niko stumbled onto the balcony, panting as he leaned on the railing. His eyes widened as he took in the view: a sprawling, tropical island surrounded by endless ocean, dotted with jagged cliffs and dense jungle.

 

Niko: You gotta be kidding me.

 

As the sun beat down on his face, Niko cursed under his breath again, scanning the horizon. There was a castle-like structure just on the other side of the island, and below to his right, was some boats that were docked just on the other side of the harbour. 

 

What Happens Next?

1. Before Niko can take off, Nate and Elena show up and stop him.

2. Niko decides he wants that boat. He goes after it.

3. Tony Stark suddenly shows up down below, he's on a Jet Ski and he calls out for Niko.

4. Niko is suddenly pulled out of the Uncharted universe and sent somewhere else.

5. Niko is knocked out and taken somewhere else on the Island

[Corndawg93]

3. Tony Stark suddenly shows up down below, he's on a Jet Ski and he calls out for Niko.

 

(Niko) The hell?

(Tony) Cmon Yugoslavia, lets go

(Niko) How did you get here?

(Tony) The portal the AI shot at you stayed open, I jumped in as well, I ain't  getting caught up in that

(Niko) You didn't come out where I did

(Tony) That's because I fell into the water in this sunkin city of sorts, lotta explosives though, had to go around them, now cmon already, get us out of here

 

Niko agrees and makes his way down and hops onto the Jetski, they head off down the river avoiding more explosives barrels but no gunfire for some reason, they eventually make it though and on the other side is a large hanger like structure

 

(Tony) What do we have in here

(Niko) Is that a submarine?

(Tony) It's more a German U-boat If anything 

 

What happens next???

1) They run into Roman and Navarro

2) They decide to check out the U-Boat where they run into... The Decendants

3) Drake and Elana catch up with them

4) They drive to shore and meet Sully 

5) The residue from the portal flairs up and sends them a different universe

2) They decide to check out the U-Boat where they run into... The Decendants

The motor on Tony’s Jet Ski cut off with a low whine as they pulled into the cavernous bunker. The walls loomed high, lined with metallic pipes that were stained with decades of rust and moss. Water dripped from the ceiling, echoing through the massive chamber. In the middle of the dock lay the centerpiece of the structure: an old, rusted U-Boat, its bow tilted slightly upward as if still struggling to emerge from the water that had partially claimed it.

 

Niko hopped off the Jet Ski first and landed on the dock with a thud, scanning the eerie surroundings. He felt a chill run down his spine, though whether it was from the oppressive atmosphere or the faint, musty stench of decay that clung to the air, he couldn’t tell.

 

Tony followed, his boots clanging against the metal stairs as he climbed up onto the platform.

 

Tony: I’ll give you two guesses who used to hang out here, and the first doesn’t count.

Niko: i don't have time for your damn riddles, Tony.

 

Tony pointed at the U-Boat with one hand, his other scratching his chin. 

 

Tony: World War II era, German engineering, giant bunker-sized parking spot? It’s a Nazi submarine base.

Niko: Nazis? f*cking great.

 

Tony stepped closer to the edge, peering down at the U-Boat’s hatch.

 

Tony: This thing’s been here for decades. Whoever built this place didn’t just stop at submarines. Look at those structures up there.

 

He pointed toward the two concrete observation platforms towering above the dock.

 

Tony: Dollars to doughnuts, they ran operations from up there too.

 

Niko tilted his head toward the far side of the bunker, where the exit loomed as a faint sliver of light.

 

Niko: Then let’s leave it to rot, we don't have time for this bullsh*t.

 

As he turned to walk away, Tony raised a hand.

 

Tony: Just hold up for a sec, tough guy. You’re not even a little curious about what’s inside that thing? I mean, come on. You think this bunker’s here just for show?

 

Niko’s jaw tightened.

 

Niko: I’ve had my fill of this madness to last me a lifetime.

 

Tony: (smirking) Fine, suit yourself. But me? I’ve seen enough movies to know U-Boats don’t just park themselves in hidden bunkers unless there’s something worth hiding.

 

Against his better judgment, Niko sighed and followed Tony toward the edge of the platform overlooking the submarine. They clambered onto a rusted maintenance ladder bolted into the wall, descending carefully toward the U-Boat.

Tony hopped down onto the sub’s deck first, his boots clanging against the metal hull.

 

Tony: Wow, this thing is in better shape than I thought.

 

Tony ran his hand along the corroded surface.

 

Tony: Relatively speaking, of course.

Niko: (scoffing) Relatively? It looks like it’s been chewed on by a sea monster.

Tony: Ah, Details.

 

Tony waved him off as he crouched near the hatch. He grabbed the wheel lock and gave it a tentative turn. It groaned loudly, the sound reverberating through the bunker.

 

Niko: You're gonna get us killed, what are we doing here!?

Tony: (grinning) Relax, Niko. What’s the worst that could-

 

The hatch creaked open. A sudden gust of stale air rushed out, carrying with it the metallic tang of rust and the unmistakable stench of rot.

 

Niko grimaced, stepping back.

 

Niko: (coughing) That smell… I don’t like this.

 

Tony wrinkled his nose but pressed forward, peering into the dark void below.

 

Tony: Yeah, not the most welcoming scent, I’ll admit. But hey, if I had to guess, there’s probably-

 

A low, guttural sound interrupted him.

 

Tony froze, his hand still on the hatch. “

 

Tony: (cautiously) Okay… uh, did you hear that?

Niko: Of course I heard it, I'm standing right behind you, you bonehead.

 

The sound came again, closer this time—a wet, rasping noise like something dragging itself across the metal interior of the sub. Tony backed away from the hatch.

 

Tony: Okay, screw this; new plan: don’t go into the creepy Nazi submarine.

 

Before they could move, a figure emerged from the dark below. Pale, distorted, and inhuman, it pulled itself up and out of the hatch, its sunken eyes reflecting the faint daylight spilling into the bunker. The creature hissed, baring jagged teeth.

 

Niko stepped back instinctively.

 

Niko: Is that a zombie? What the f*ck.

 

Tony raised his hands defensively.

 

Tony: Oh, great. Mutant Nazi zombies. Because, of course.

 

The creature lunged, clawing at Tony, who ducked just in time. Its movements were jerky, unnatural, as though it hadn’t fully remembered how to use its limbs. Niko didn’t wait for Tony to recover. Grabbing a loose pipe from the deck, he swung it hard, cracking the creature across the skull. It staggered back, screeching in pain but still standing.

 

Tony: Run!

 

Tony and Niko started scrambling from where they came from, as more guttural noises echoed from the shadows behind them, and a second creature clawed its way towards them, followed by a third. The two bolted for the ladder, climbing back up to the main platform as the creatures swarmed the sub below. Reaching the top, Tony looked around frantically. 

 

Tony: Alright, we’re officially out of our depth here. Time to-

 

A loud crash interrupted him. One of the creatures had climbed the ladder far faster than expected, throwing itself onto the platform.

 

Niko: f*cking zombies!

 

They sprinted for the far end of the bunker, the echo of claws scraping concrete close behind them.

 

What Happens Next?

1. They climb the pipes, and end up on one of the observational platforms. Nate and Elena show up just as they're catching their breath.

2. They get on the jet ski but the Descendants catch up and tackle Niko and they start struggling under water

3. They run out of the bunker and leave the jet ski behind.

4. They bump into Roman and Navarro. They dispatch the Descendants who were chasing them, and take them hostage.

5. Niko and Tony are suddenly pulled out of the Uncharted universe and sent somewhere else.

[Corndawg93]

5. Niko and Tony are suddenly pulled out of the Uncharted universe and sent somewhere else.

 

As Niko and Tony are running for their lives, the leftover portal residue starts to flair up and flashes the 2 out of the Uncharted universe all the way to Ass Creed Odyssey land right smackdab in the middle of a battle between Athens and Sparta

 

(Niko) What the hell, where the hell

(Tony) Swords and shield and plenty of blood everywhere

(Niko) Medieval times?

 

Just then a warrior wearing fancy god looking white and gold armour which make it look like they completed the Fate of Atlantis DLC interrupts them

 

(Unknown) Who are you?

(Tony) Got a better question for you where are we?

(Unknown) You're in middle of a war, and get up and move before you get killed, MALAKA!!!!

 

The word Malaka piped up Niko a bit, he knew exactly where they were

 

(Niko) Greece, we're middle of the Peloponnesian War

(Tony) Well that's fun

 

They get up and run over to a safe place next to a piller where no fighting is happening

 

The fancy god armor person starts chatting with them

 

(Unknown) Who are you

(Tony) Nobody of interest, who are you hood

 

The Unknown warrior then takes of the hood to reveal a braid and a very beautiful and battle worn woman

 

(Unknown) Kassandra, now tell me where you're from, you appeared out of thin air, you have to be somewhere outside of this place

(Niko) It's very complicated 

(Kassandra) Try me

(Tony) We are both from different universes and 2 people kidnapped us from our own worlds to go their world to help them with a problem they were having with an evil entity

(Kassandra) Malaka, That is complicated, cmon, it's getting too bloody for my liking so lets go somewhere where we can discuss this a little more quieter

(Niko) Where we going?

(Kassandra) My ship, the Adrestia

 

They follow her to her ship where Barnabas and Herodotos are playing Uno.... How'd they get that?

 

What happens next???

1) They devise a plan on what to do next

2) An Order member pops up and tries to kill them

3) They teliport again, taking Kassandra and the ship with them

 

Or

 

4) We follow the A.I fight back in Horizon land

5) We follow Alyssa and Dekota attempting to understand Inspector Gadget's deal

The Adrestia rocked gently in the calm Mediterranean waters as Kassandra led Niko and Tony aboard. The golden glow of the setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and purple. Herodotos and Barnabas sat near the bow of the ship, completely engrossed in a heated game of Uno.

 

Barnabas slammed a card down triumphantly.

Barnabas: Hah! Take that, Herodotos!
Herodotos: You don’t even know the rules, Barnabas!

 

Tony raised an eyebrow, nudging Niko.

Tony: Are they... playing Uno? How does that even exist here?
Niko: I don't f*cking know.

 

Kassandra ignored their banter and motioned for the two men to follow her to the captain's quarters. Inside, a crude map of the Peloponnesian region was spread across a table, weighted down by a dagger and a ceramic jug of wine. Kassandra leaned over it, her braid shifting as she scanned the area.

 

Kassandra: So let me get this straight. You’re both from different worlds, you were dragged into this by some... gods, or whatever they are, and now you’re bouncing between universes without control?

 

Tony shrugged, folding his arms.

Tony: Pretty much, yeah.

Niko: AND! In every universe, something’s trying to kill us. Zombies, pirates, some ball of red energy, it's f*cking great.

Kassandra: (smirking) Sounds like just another day for me. But if I’ve learned one thing from meddling with gods and their artifacts, it’s that there’s more to this world than we know.

Niko: (raising an eyebrow) Like what?

 

Kassandra reached into her satchel and pulled out a battered leather journal, flipping it open to a page filled with detailed sketches of an ancient artifact.

 

Kassandra: Like an Apple of Eden. These things are powerful, ancient relics created by the Isu; what you’d probably call gods. I’ve dealt with one before, on the island of Korfu. It had... a way of bending reality, creating illusions. The kind of power that could change a man.

Niko: And you think it could help us?

Kassandra: Perhaps, maybe it could understand why you're having these flashes.

Tony: And you've used one before?

Kassandra: (grimly) I’ve destroyed one before. The last thing I need is for it to fall into the wrong hands. But if you two are telling the truth, and you’re fighting something even worse... maybe it’s time to track one down.

Herodotos: (walking down from the deck) An Apple of Eden? Kassandra, are you sure about this? You know what happened the last time.

Kassandra: (determined) I know, Herodotos. But this time it’s different. If these two are right, this thing might be the only way to stop whatever’s coming.

Barnabas: (calling from above) Kassandra! We’re nearing land. What’s the plan?

Kassandra: (looking to Tony and Niko) We head to Delphi. If anyone knows where to start looking for one; it's there.

 

What Next?

1) As they arrive at Delphi, they get jumped by the Order, when suddenly they receive assistance from Oliver Queen, Din Djarin and Aloy.

2) As they arrive at Delphi, Nate, Elena and Sully are waiting for them, visibly angry.

3) They arrive at Delphi with no issue.

4) Everyone gets teleported somewhere else

5) We cut to Dakota and Alessa as they're arguing with Inspector Gadget

4) Everyone gets teleported somewhere else

The first signs of the storm brewing were visible towards the evening when the orange hues of the setting sun were slowly engulfed by dark clouds. Kassandra commented that such bipolar weather was "normal' and that they should be able to sail through the storm but that did not alleviate Niko's concerns. To him, the dark clouds looked foreboding.

By midnight, the rain was in full pelt. The Mediterranean waters, which had been gentle a few hours ago were now shaking angrily with fury.  On board the Adrestia, Niko and Tony voiced their concerns.

"These storms pass in an hour, we should be fine," Kassandra said dismissively.

At that moment, without warning, the Adrestia, jerked without warning, throwing its occupants off balance. Niko hurried over to the deck with Tony in tow.

 

"sh*t"

 

The Adrestia was rocking dangerously in every direction, the rain was increasing by the minute and the thunder was louder than ever. Niko thought he heard something crack in the ships' hull.

 

"This doesn't look like your regular storm lady!" Tony yelled over the howling wind.
 

But they never heard Kassandra's replies. As the next flash of lightning illuminated the horizon, the Adrestia titled a full 90 degrees throwing both Niko and Tony into the ocean.

 

Niko struggled. The waters were rough even for an adept swimmer like him. He felt himself carried by a current like a ragdoll. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a familiar blue and orange light.

 

A portal.

He didn't stop to think. Using all his strength, he tried to change direction and make the current carry him to the portal. He was greeted by a blinding flash of light and then.

He landed on the ground on his knees, panting. His clothes were still soaking wet. He looked around. He seemed to be in a dormitory. Except, there were no students. Bed sheets and paper lay strewn all over the floor. It looked abandoned.
 

"Who the f*ck are you?" he heard a voice growl

 

He looked up and his eyes fell on a man. He looked to be about fifty. He had dark hair and beard.  He wore a checkered dark green shirt with an old backpack. He was pointing a hunting rifle at him.

 

Niko raised his hands slowly. "Look I don't want any trouble"

 

"Are you with the Fireflies?" the man asked, still pointing his gun at him.

"What the f*ck is that supposed to mean?"
"Are you with the Fireflies?"

"I have no idea what the f*ck you are talking about" 

"Don't bullsh*t me"

 

The man was dangerously close now, Niko stepped back. 

 

"Look. i don't know who you and I don't know the fireflies. I have no idea where I am. It's a bit hard to explain.  I am not from here"

"I can see that"

"No. I mean. I am not from... this place. I need to get back"

"Get back where?"
"My world"

 

There was a pause. The man's eyebrows narrowed.

"What kind of game you are playing?"

"I am not! I tell you, it is difficult to explain.  fell through some kind of portal. If you can just help-"

 

The next thing Niko knew was the butt of the rifle hitting his head and he fell unconscious.

What happens next?

1) Niko wakes up next to Joel and Ellie at the university, with his hands tied up.
2) Niko wakes up alone in the dormitory of the university and has to navigate the world alone.

3) Niko wakes up and hears fighting near the university. He runs over and sees Joel impaled on a rebar with Ellie struggling to help him.
4) Niko wakes up next to Joel and Ellie but breaks free of his bonds and gets into a fistfight with Joel.
5) Niko wakes up and sees Nathan and Joel arguing with Elena, Sully and Ellie in the background.

1) Niko wakes up next to Joel and Ellie at the university, with his hands tied up.

Niko groaned as consciousness slowly returned. His head throbbed from where the man had smacked him up with the rifle, and as his vision cleared, he realized his wrists were bound behind him with a tight zip tie. He was sitting on the cold tile floor of what looked like a chemistry lab, scattered with broken glass, dusty binders and rusted equipment. The air smelled of old paper, mildew, and something faintly metallic; probably dried blood.

 

Through his brain fog, Niko's eyes wandered over to the man from earlier; the one who knocked him out. He was standing near the window, his rugged face illuminated by the faint glow of a small recorder he held in one hand. A younger kid stood beside him, her arms crossed, shifting on her feet impatiently. They were listening to the last words of a long-dead "Firefly" Niko presumed, his decomposing body still slumped in a chair facing the window.

 

Recorder: If you're looking for the Fireflies, they've all left.
The Kid: Yeah, no sh*t.

Recorder: I'm dead. Or I will be soon. Got me some time to reflect…

 

The older man sighed and started to skip through the recording

 

Older Man: Come on…

 

The tape zips forward, the garbled voice pitching higher until Joel hits the stop button.

 

Recorder: If you're looking for the others, they've all returned to Saint Mary's Hospital in Salt Lake City. You'll find them there. Still trying to save the world. Good luck with that.

 

Niko exhaled sharply through his nose. He recognized that voice; Joel. His memory was still foggy, but flashes of the past crept in. They had crossed paths before; years ago during that zombie invasion. And then again, briefly, under... different circumstances. He didn't want to think about that.

 

But one thing was clear, Joel sure as hell didn't recognize him.

 

Joel clicked off the recorder, staring out the window. The kid; Ellie, wasn’t it?, leaned over his shoulder.

 

Ellie: Do you know where that is?

Joel: I know the city.

Ellie: Is it far?

Joel: It ain't close. I mean on horseback...

 

Joel suddenly tensed as he looked across the courtyard, through the windows of the second floor, he spotted some dancing beams coming from some flashlights. Ellie noticed where he was looking and spotted them too.

 

Ellie: Are those Fireflies?

 

Before Joel could answer, a gunshot rang out.

 

The bullet shattered the window, sending shards of glass raining down onto the floor. Joel barely managed to pull Ellie down in time as the bullet punched a hole through the wall behind them.

 

Joel (to Ellie): "Get down!"

 

They both ducked behind the chemistry station, Joel already pulling out his revolver.

 

Ellie: Who the f*ck are these guys?

 

Niko, still bound, twisted around, trying to gauge what was happening. Heavy boots pounded the floors below. The echoes of voices; agitated, barking orders, rose over the howling wind coming from the shattered window.

 

Joel: It don't matter. We know where to go, lets get the hell out of here.

 

Ellie looked over to Niko and they locked eyes for a second.

 

Ellie: What about him?

 

Joel turned to Niko, eyes narrowing.

 

Joel: I don't know who the hell you are, but right now, I ain't got time to figure it out.

 

He reached over, grabbed Niko by the collar, and dragged him across the floor toward a desk.

 

Niko: Easy, ass-

Joel: Shut up.

 

Joel spun Niko around and, with a swift motion, cut the zip tie binding his wrists using Ellie's switchblade.

 

Joel: You wanna live? Stick close or be left behind.

 

Niko flexed his hands, rubbing the raw skin on his wrists. He shot Joel an annoyed glare.

 

Niko: I'll be more useful if you give me a-

Joel: I ain't givin’ you sh*t until I know you ain't gonna turn it on me.

 

Niko gritted his teeth but held back a response. If he's not going to give him a gun, he'll just have to take it someone else.

 

As they started for the door they came in, footsteps echoed down the halls. Joel turned to Ellie, his eyebrows furrowed.

 

Joel: They're already here, stay close Ellie.

 

What Next?

1) The three of them manage to sneak past the Hunters and make it to the stairwell leading to the 2nd floor.

2) Joel and Ellie get spotted by a couple Hunters and a fight ensues.

3) Joel and Ellie get spotted by a couple Hunters, and Niko uses this distraction to split off from them.

4) As the Hunters approach the three of them, they're attacked by some unknown figures. After they take them down, they reveal themselves to the group and Niko recognizes them.

5) We cut to Tony Stark, Kassandra, Herodotos and Barnabas who were all teleported to a different part of the University.

2) Joel and Ellie get spotted by a couple Hunters and a fight ensues.

 

Two burly men burst into sight from the door they were about to go through. Before any of them could react, the larger of the two tackled Joel to the ground. The other one, the smaller of the two, made a beeline for Ellie and began scrapping her.

 

As the four of them struggled, Niko hesitated, weighing up his chances. This was a good chance for him to escape the father - daughter duo that was holding him hostage. On the other hand, he had no idea where the f*ck he hand landed in. In any case, the world outside looked foreboding even for a seasoned Yugoslavian war veteran such as himself. His gut told him that Joel and Ellie would be the "friendliest" bunch of people he would be meeting for quite some time.

 

As his mind went over the various permutations, he saw that the burly man had forced Joel down onto the ground. He was now sinking his knife very close to his face. The strength in Joel's face seemed to be withering away.

 

"HEY!" Niko yelled.

 

The man turned away from Joel, distracted. It was only a split second but it was enough. In one quick motion, Joel disarmed the man and flipped him over onto the ground. He staggered to his feet, pulled out his pistol, and dropped a point blank bullet into the man's forehead who fell back, dead.

 

"Martin!"

 

The burly man's partner let out a cry of anguish. Ellie took advantage of his distraction to free herself from her captor's arms, kicking him in the nuts in the process. The man groaned, collapsing to his feet.

 

"No, please!"

 

Joel did not waste time in dropping a headshot into the man's forehead too. Despite his predicament, Niko could not help but be secretly impressed by this strange old man's endurance and accuracy.

 

There was a moment's silence as everyone caught their breaths, Joel seemed to have a stitch in his side.

 

"Took you a while to react" he murmured.

"Very grateful of you, thanks." Niko said, feeling very annoyed.

"Hey, just ignore him. He's a dick... to most people, myself included." Ellie said to Niko, stepping in between the two of them.

 

Niko and Joel continued to glare at each other but they were interrupted by footsteps coming from the door beyond.

 

"sh*t"  Joel said turning away from Niko to aim at the doorway. Niko eyed three shadow figures looming larger and larger. 

 

The figures came to the light. It was Nathan, Elena and Sully.

 

"Do not move a f*cking inch" Joel said pointing his gun. Ellie had her gun out too.

 

"Hey hey easy there big fella" Nathan said, keeping his voice casual although his gun was pointed straight at Joel's chest. Sully was unarmed but Elena was armed too, pointing her pistol towards Ellie. She seemed to lower it an inch when she realized it was a little girl, her eyes narrowed.

 

"We just need to know where the f*ck we are" Nathan said, stopping in his tracks. 

 

Joel and Ellie exchanged a quick glance, Ellie shrugged.

 

"What the f*ck do you mean?" Joel asked.

 

"What the f*ck happened to this world?"
'Are you crazy?"
"I wish I was"

"Don't you get smart with me-"

"Listen cowboy," Sully said putting a hand between Joel and Nathan. "We aren't here to hurt you, we just need to understand what the f*ck is going on"

 

Joel frowned, he turned back and glanced at Niko, his eyebrows his raised. The gesture caught Nate's attention who, until this point, was unaware of Niko's presence. The features and his face contorted with anger:

"You son of a-" 
 

What Next?

1) A horde of clickers, led by a massive bloater, ambushes the group.

2) Hunters ambush the group.

3) Nate tackles Niko and a fistfight ensues.

4) Another portal appears, leading to what seemingly look like the "normal" world. Nate's group and Niko make a race for it.

5) Another portal appears, leading to a "normal world" but this time it swallows the entire group into this world. 

 

Side note: I am very impressed you remember mentions about TLOU from over 10 years ago in this thread lol.

I vaguely remembered Corndawg bringing up Joel and Clickers a long time ago lol, so I just searched up Joel's name and sure enough, there he was.

1) A horde of clickers, led by a massive bloater, ambushes the group.

The room fell into a tense silence. The distant, ragged breathing of something monstrous echoed through the broken hallways. The sound wasn't human. It was guttural, wet, and primal.

 

Joel froze. Ellie, already tense, went rigid as she caught the sound. Niko opened his mouth, about to ask what those sounds were, but Ellie’s hand shot up, pressing a finger to her lips. Her eyes were wide, terrified.

 

Ellie (mouthing silently at Niko): Don't.

 

And then they saw it.

 

Shuffling into view from the shadowed doorway, the bloater emerged; a hulking mass of fungus and rotting flesh, towering and grotesque. Fungal plates jutted from its skin like armor, spores puffing from its body with every step. Its gurgling breaths filled the air like a death rattle. Around it, the sharp clicks of its smaller, twitching minions, the clickers, followed in its wake.

 

Nate, Sully, and Elena turned, confusion flickering across their faces.

 

Sully (whispering): What the hell is that?

 

Click. Click. Click.

 

The sound snapped through the air like a whip. The bloater's head jerked, its blind face turning toward the sound of their voices.

 

Nate’s eyes widened.

 

Nate: Oh crap.

 

The bloater let out a low, rumbling growl, its massive body tensing. A moment later, it charged.

 

Nate: RUN!

 

The room was a dead end. There was only one way out. Nate’s gaze darted to the cracked window; there was a bullet hole in it, but it should break if he jumped through it - he didn't hesitate.

 

Nate: Through the window!

 

Elena looked between Nate and the bloater, eyes crazy.

 

Elena: Are you crazy!?

Sully: Son of a bitch.

 

Nate didn’t wait. He lunged for the window, ducking beneath the jagged glass and throwing himself over the ledge. His boots scraped against the crumbling second-floor balcony, and he barely caught himself before toppling over. Elena followed, her movements sharp but desperate. Sully came last, grunting as he heaved himself through.

 

The bloater roared, a sound like grinding stone, and lunged. Its massive, fungus-encrusted arms reached out, clawing through the window frame. Shards of glass tore through its arms, fungal flesh peeling back. It didn’t seem to care, focused entirely on grabbing something, anything, to tear apart.

 

Niko crouched under a nearby lab desk, eyes wide as he watched the creature struggle. The air thickened as spores burst from its body, a sickly, choking mist that burned his nostrils.

 

Niko (muttering): sh*t...

 

He yanked his shirt up over his mouth and nose. The stench was horrific; like death and rot, magnified tenfold.

 

Joel and Ellie didn’t hesitate. In one practiced motion, they pulled on their gas masks. Niko shot Joel a glare. “You think of tellin’ me about that, old man?”

 

Joel’s eyes were cold above his mask. “If you think you're gettin' my mask, you're sorely mistaken".

 

Ellie grabbed Niko’s arm, yanking him deeper into the shadows beneath the table.

 

Ellie: Shut up, don't move.

 

Through the mist, clickers stumbled into the room. They swarmed, twitching and jerking, moving in sharp, erratic patterns. Their heads, crowned with grotesque fungal growths, tilted in confusion. Their clicking sounds echoed sharply, bouncing off the walls as they sniffed the air. The bloater’s movements had drawn them in, but now the monsters struggled to push past it, jammed against its massive bulk.

 

Joel turned to Ellie and Niko.

 

Joel: Now. While they’re distracted. Move.

 

Niko and Ellie didn’t need telling twice. She followed close, crouched low, her breathing shallow beneath her gas mask. Niko moved just behind her, keeping half of his face covered with his shirt. The smell of spores lingered, thick and cloying.

 

The corridor outside felt freeing as they left behind the claustrophobic room. As they made their way down the hallway, the faint glow from emergency lights cast long shadows that danced with every cautious footfall.

 

They crept towards the stairwell, the silence pressing heavy against them. The air stank of mildew, dust, and something grim; and then they stumbled upon the bodies.

 

Two of the hunters that had shot at them before, lay sprawled at the foot of the stairwell. Or what was left of them. Their faces were torn open, jaws split wide as though something massive had crushed them. One man’s head had been ripped clean from his body, the exposed spine glistening wet in the dim light. The other’s torso was shredded, ribs snapped and jutting out like jagged blades. Blood soaked the walls and pooled on the floor, thick and dark, and the air was heavy with the stench of iron and rot.

 

Ellie gagged, staggering back, her hand pressed against her mask.

 

Ellie: Jesus, what the f*ck!

 

Niko’s stomach twisted as he turned away, muttering in his native tongue. He had seen war. Seen bodies. But this… this wasn’t war. This was slaughter.

 

Joel didn’t flinch. He just stared for a second, lips pressed into a grim line, then gave a low grunt and stepped over the bodies.

 

Joel (flatly): C'mon, keep movin'.

 

As they went down the stairs to the second floor, they stumbled upon a blockage; the first floor were barricaded by collapsed beams and shattered concrete. There was no getting through to the ground floor.

 

Joel: Figures...

Ellie: So now what?

 

Joel turned, his gaze drifting to the indoor balcony that overlooked the floor below. Across it, was a door. Maybe an exit. Maybe a trap. But it was the only option.

 

“This way,” Joel said, leading them out onto the balcony. His boots thudded softly on the aged concrete flooring. 

 

Joel reached the door first, his hand going for the handle-

 

BANG!

 

The door exploded open, slamming into Joel with brutal force. It sent him sprawling back, his ribs crashing into the cracked railing. The metal groaned dangerously beneath him.

 

Hunter: HEY, ASSHOLE!

 

Joel grunted, teeth gritted as the man rushed Joel, grabbing onto him by the neck and slamming him against the railing. His hands locked around Joel’s throat, squeezing tight. Joel clawed at the man’s arms, his face reddening, legs kicking as he fought to stay upright.

 

Ellie reached for her pistol - too slow, too far -

 

And Niko moved.

 

Instinct took over. He surged forward, grabbing the hunter’s arm. With brutal force, he punched his palm forward towards the Hunter's outstretched arm and the elbow cracked loose; dislocated. There was bone jutting beneath skin. The hunter howled in agony, but Niko wasn’t done.

 

He yanked Joel aside, shoving him out of danger.

 

Niko: MOVE!

 

Joel staggered, coughing, but stayed on his feet. His gaze snapped back just in time to see Niko and the hunter collide.

 

The impact drove them both against the rotting railing. The old metal and glass groaned, splintering beneath their combined weight-

 

And then it gave way.

 

The world tilted. Niko’s stomach dropped. For one frozen moment, they hung in the air. Then-

 

CRASH.

 

The hunter hit first, landing headfirst with a sickening crack. His neck twisted at an impossible angle, body twitching once before going limp. Niko, in turn, landed hard on his back, but pain didn’t explode until a second later.

 

The sharp, jagged edge of rebar pierced clean through his side, sliding between ribs and out through his abdomen. The pain was white-hot, burning, blinding.

 

His scream tore through the room, his face contorted in pain as he looked down at his body and he saw the rebar was slick red with his blood. 

 

What Next?

1) Joel and Ellie rush down to help Niko. As they're helping him, a group of Hunters burst in.

2) Joel and Ellie rush down to help Niko. As they reach Niko, Nate, Elena and Sully burst in

3) Niko passes out from the blood loss and he wakes up some time later, somewhere else.

4) A portal appears and sucks Niko, Joel and Elle into it; taking them into a different universe.

5) We follow Nate, Sully and Elena.

Niko's vision blurred and his world started to spin. He tried to lift his hand but this simple action itself seemed like a herculean effort for his body and he let his hand fall back to the ground with a groan. He was vaguely aware of footsteps nearby.  The footsteps stopped and then voices came, he heard sentences in fragments.

 

"...we can't just leave him, he's...."

"We do not have time for this Ellie, we don't..."

"....saved your life."

"He didn't..."

"...seems to have information too"

"...f*ck this.... fine, let's...."

Images flashed past Niko, the war, Bulgarin, Roman, Kate, Tony, the portals. It was like his mind was on autopilot, fast forwarding through his life.  He was vaguely aware of someone helping himself up to his feet. Suddenly he was dropped back down to the ground with a sickening crunch. He thought he saw someone who looked eerily similar to Nate come into his line of sight - 

 

He was suddenly standing with his rifle in what looked like a small village. Judging by the weak rays of sunlight, it was still the early hours of dawn. It was snowing quite hard and although he was wearing multiple thick layers of clothing he was still shivering.

Niko cast a furtive glance around. He seemed to be all alone. He took a few tentative steps forward making the snow crunch beneath his boots. His eyes suddenly spotted a bunch of people sitting with their backs to the wall of a house nearest to him. He pointed his gun in their direction but it was a bit too dark to decipher if they were friend or foe.

 

He took a few more steps forward to get a better look and a few stray rays of sunlight hit the people who were sitting with their backs to the wall. Except, it wasn't people. It was children. Many of them. Lined up against the wall, with their heads chopped-

Abruptly, he was lying on his back. It took him a few seconds to realize why he had passed out and as he did, the pain in his torso was back. Although he registered, with some gratitude, that the rebar was no longer poking out through his side. He began to regain control of his mind and return to the present.

 

His vision began clearing and so did his hearing. He could hear two voices bickering. Male voices. Joel and Nate.

"Listen punk, you better not be f*cking messing with me."
"I swear, I am not. We aren't from this universe. I don't know how or what the f*ck is happening here but this guy, he was the one who pulled us into this mess"

"This is f*cking crazy"

"I know it is"

"How the f*ck do I know you just ain't messing with me? Why can't you just spawn that portal now and show me?"

"He told you, he can't." It was Elena speaking now. "It's completely random." 

Niko heard Joel kick something and mutter something under his breath.

"Wait so what you are saying is..." Ellie said slowly. "You guys are from a universe where the world didn't go to sh*t?"

"Well we thought we had it rough but compared to you guys, that was paradise. Wasn't it Nate?" Sully said, snorting.
"Yeah, I mean. What the actual f*ck happened here?" Nate asked, directing the question to Joel but it was Ellie who responded. 
"A virus spread. Years ago. It turned people into flesh-eating monsters that try to eat and infect other people. I wasn't born at that time but I guess Joel can fill you in on the details"

"Jesus Christ. I mean, we make movies about this sort of thing but you guys got the real deal"

 

"Yeah, we did too - once upon a time" Joel muttered.

 

"Joel!" Ellie said, her voice rising with excitement. "Joel, listen you know what this means? If we can get to a portal, we can go to a world where everything was normal. And then, there'd be no need to be out here risking our necks every-"
"Okay, okay hold your horses Ellie. I ain't too sure I am buying this bullsh*t about portals and multiple universes. Also-"

"f*ck you man" Nate retorted. 

Niko let out a gasp of pain and it caught the entire group's attention. Nate immediately moved forward and crouched toward him.

 

"Allright you son of a bitch. You better tell me what the f*ck is going on"

"Oh Christ"

"Nate, he seems in rough shape, cut him some slack" Elena said. "We need to find him a doctor" she added turning to Joel and Ellie but they both shook their heads.

 

"We were looking for doctors too... but they aren't here" Ellie replied.

 

Just then, there was a blinding flash of blue light. A portal appeared, again. It looked as though time had frozen as every single one of them turned to look at it:
 

What Next?

1) The entire group goes through the portal and they land in our world, 2025.

2) Everyone except Niko goes through the portal in time, leaving Niko bleeding out alone in the university. 

3) Nate, Sully and Elena go through the portal. Before Joel, Ellie, and Niko can go through it, the portal closes.

4) The entire group goes through the portal and lands at a place called Clemens Point, where a gang of outlaws are camped. 

5) A horde of clickers ambushes the group and follows them through the portal to Clemens Point, where a gang of outlaws are camped.
