First draft On just a normal Tuesday in January, three men step onto a hyper-jet unknowing of what their future awaits. The three strangers board through a cylinder shaped tunnel and onto the chrome aircraft. Their destination, Amsterdam, Netherlands, as they were all flying from Alaska. They all sat in the patent leather seats that where at least the sizes of recliners, yet, they were on the back of the hyper-jet in economy seats. They fastened their seat belts, and off they were. Two hours into the flight, a sudden scream of terror echoed from the far side of the plane. There were 1,000 passengers so it must have been a couple of sections up, but not on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or even 5th floor of the plane. 5 masked hoodlums came out from the chrome hatches that divided the seating sections. They shot at the ceilings and the dim xenon lights sparked and glass fell onto the passengers, causing havoc. The three men sitting together got out of their seats in a furtive manner. They squatted and went over to where the hijackers were. They through punches but were outnumbered. One of the men's dog, a small black and white chihuahua, jumped up and ripped a hijacker's face off. It was now technically 4 on 4, but a dog didn't really count. The chihuahua jumped up again and ripped another hijacker's face off, then another, then finally, there was one left, that was knocked out by one of the three men that was Haitian and had a dread mo-hawk and glasses. That fight was over, but there were 2 more problems: The pilot and co-pilot were dead, and the people started to turn into a mob, fighting each other in panic. The three men and the dog made their way to the back of the plane to where the escape pods were. One escape pod held three people so they got in and the dog sat on the Haitian man's lap. They detached from the plane, and made way to land at the nearest airfield in the area by using air maps, a piece of software in the pod.

After 30 minutes in the pod, the men started to talk. The Haitian introduced himself. "Wassup, I'm Chad, I'm 28 years old, I love football, Have a dog named Benny, I'm a mechanic, I drink protein shakes daily and I coach a youth football team back at home."

"Nice to meet you Chad. I'm Cledus and am from the heart of the South, Tennessee. I like huntin', fishin', football, BBQ, and sweet iced tea on a hot summer day if ya'll know what I mean!" Said the overweight white man.

"Very good. I'm Pablo. I'm from Mexico and I was in Alaska for business reasons" said the Mexican bandit.

"What kind of business?" Chad asked.

"None that would concern you and this greengo" said Pablo.

"Ohhhhhhhh. I got you" Chad said in a witty and humorous way. As the conversation ended they felt turbulence, and soon realized that they were landing. When the pod came to a complete stop, They opened the hatch to feel a sudden cold feeling. The runway they had landed on was bombarded with large rocks of hail. The three men started to run under a shelter of snow covered pine trees. Chad pulled out his smart phone that was the size of the palm of his hand and thick as a rock. He pressed a button and it suddenly had a quick metamorphosis. It expanded and got thinner, making the screen 5 inches and the width as thin as a centimeter or two. The three men looked at the bright screen and saw the time. It was 6:57 P.M. and was Tuesday, January 28, 3000. There was no reception, but he knew that the time was off by a couple of hours since they traveled into a different time zone. Chad was eager to find reception so that he could contact someone. He walked up a hill and his reception increased rapidly. He arrived to the top. "It's, it's, it's the most beautiful think I have ever seen" Chad said as he wiped a couple of cold tears of joy off of his face.

"What is it Chad?" said the other two as they rushed up the hill. They arrived and stood by Chad. Their jaws dropped. "Dear Lord Baby Jesus that is the most gracious thing i have ever seen" said Cledus.

"Ave Maria, Aye Guadalupe de mi padre" said Pablo in spanglish. But what was it that was so beautiful, so gracious, so amazing? It was... Las Vegas.

The only thing the men were confused about was that they weren't in Nevada. They were in Russia. They walked through the dry tundra to the bright, bizarre city. They walked to a hotel identical to the Cesar Palace, but only it was called the Putin Palace and was Vlademir Putin themed. They checked into a suite that was 3 bedrooms and was more extraordinary then anything in their wildest dreams. They went to their bedrooms and dozed off. They woke up and the bright sunlight creaped into the suite and filled it. Everyone woke up; even Benny. They headed out realized that it was already Thursday. They had slept for almost 48 hours. All three men were mad at the fact that they weren't in Amsterdam. Even though they all loved Russian Vegas, they needed to get back to their everyday lives.

Chad, Cledus, and Pablo didn't even know where to start to look for who hijacked the hyper jet. Chad pressed the screen of his phone, and a database of crime in Russian Vegas came on the screen because it listened to the group conversation, and Chad's thoughts. The men crowded in front of Chad's phone screen, looking at it to see the content. They decided to go to a local restaurant for some coffee before they went to where all the casinos were, the district in Russian Vegas with the most crime. They walked in and sat at the counter with holograph televisions that could be moved and enlarged with the tap of a finger. The news channel was on and the top story was about the hyper jet crash. There was an interview with the only survivor besides the 3 men and Benny. He said that ten men hijacked the plane, but only four survived. He also proclaimed that only three people were killed by the hijackers, two of them being pilots. He also said that before the plane crashed, mobs of people were fighting in panic while he got to an escape pod. "Many tried to leave, but they were stopped by those who wanted to save themselves" said the man.

"You think the people we fought on the plane are still alive" Chad asked the other two men.

"Maybe. You have to remember, they were armed and dangerous. Maybe they got to a pod and saved them selves." Cledus said.

"We'll be good. The world is on lockdown because of this incident. Once the criminals are caught, we can return to our personal affairs. For now, we need to hang tight, and find the people who did this so we can all get out of here faster." Chad said.

The men finished their coffee, but realized one thing. They had no money. So, they ran to the door, but a layer of steel blocking all possible exits blocked the way. The waiter pointed a high tech shotgun at them, saying "pay up suckers."

The three men put their hands up and approached the waiter. The barrel of the gun was at the poing where it was two inches away from Chad's nose. Chad quickly jumped up 8 feet in the air and drop kicked the waiter in the face. He dropped the gun and fainted. The gun hit the ground with a thud and shot. The alarm went off and the men had to get out of there. The only people there were the men, and couldn't exit because of the layers of steel blocked them. Chad jumped over the counter and pressed the button triggering the exits to be accessible. Cops were surrounding the entrance. The men ran through the kitchen, then up a flight of stairs, and found themselves in the owner's dwelling. They opened a window and jumped over a narrow alley onto a rooftop. They jumped onto another rooftop, with two cops trailing them. They came across another rooftop, with a wide gap between each other. All three men made it, but one cop fell. They were coming to a dead end, with a giant wall with one big window. The three men jumped through the window, and landed in a giant fish tank at an ocean styled casino. The tank broke apart because of all the mass. The men lost the one cop from the rooftop, but found two at the front entrance of the casino. Chad picked up a fork and threw it at one cop and it hit him right between the eyes. While two cops aided to the fallen one, a cop followed. Cledus leaded while the men ran up a flight of stairs. They saw a sign that said hotel and ran across an indoor bridge connecting the hotel and casino. The men went into an elevator but the cop saw them. He went to the stairs. Pablo pressed the roof button and the elevator got them from floor five to floor one hundred in a matter of ten seconds. They got out and saw a complete view of Russian Vegas. There were a group of three base jumpers getting parachutes on. Chad knocked all three out and the men took the parachutes. They jumped off the building and deployed the parachutes seconds later. Once the men were flying and almost impossible to see, the cops reached the roof. The men had caught a huge break.

The men were about to land near the hotel in a pile of snow. The landing was safe, but cops were swarming everywhere. They decided that instead of entering the Putin Palace, their hotel, from the main entrance they should go through the alley ways to go through the employee entrance. They passed through alley ways. They were about to enter their hotel when Chad accidentally shoulder checked a shady man walking by that seemed familiar to Chad. Chad said "My bad" and kept on moving. The shady man continued to stare at the three men. Meanwhile, Chad and the men made their way to their suite on the top floor by the employee elevator. They returned to their room, cleaned up, and relaxed.

Meanwhile, the shady man got a cab and made his way back to a secret compound outside of Russian Vegas. He entered the gates which were opened by men similar to him. He walked in a three story warehouse and went to the third floor. He went to a room titled Vlad-187 leader: Vlademir Hawk. He entered the dim room. "Master Hawk" he said, "I found survivors to the plane crash. I remember them. I know where they say. What shall we do about them? The shady gang member asked. "Kill them. Kill them all. But I want to see it happen. Capture them and bring them to me. Or else." Vlademir Hawk said. "Now go. Get out of my face and finish this stupid job you and all of your crew never finished. You have 48 hours." He said in an unpleasant tone. The gang member nodded and started to head to the Putin Palace in search to capture the men.

Back at the hotel, Chad and Cledus prepared to go out and search for whoever hijacked their plane, and maybe to get some dinner and maybe go to a casino. Pablo and Benny were extremely tired, and needed rest, so they stayed. Chad and Cledus walked out the door and reminded Pablo to call them if they were needed or for Pablo to expect a call from one of them if something goes down. They left. Pablo was bored. He put on Russian TV. He was channel surfing. Nothing was good. All there was were shows about Chernobyl and news stories about crazy Russian incidents. There were countless pictures of failed Russian attempts to go to Nexusily AC389 and join the Neo-Chinese colonies but then, looked at the channel and saw what earlier happened that day. He looked into the television screen, but was interrupted by an abrupt knock on the door, and a voice saying, "Room Service." Pablo had never ordered room service, but figured that it might have been Chad or Cledus. He opened the door and saw the shady gang member. "Do I know you?" Pablo asked. The gang member threw a hard punch that knocked Pablo down for a second, but he jumped right back up. The two men were exchanging punches, kicks, and even took each other down. The shady gang member grabbed a knife, and stabbed Pablo in the gut. Pablo was still alive, but was bleeding out. The man left him there and went to get Benny. He put Benny in a locked dog purse, and Pablo in a body bag. The shady gang member took both bags out, but left a note saying "I have your dog and your friend. Go to the old gated warehouse on the outskirts of the south side of the city. Be there in 24 hours, or your little friend and his mutt are dead." He left and jumped into his getaway vehicle. He left quick, and you could hear the tires skidding across the cold, damp concrete.

Meanwhile, Chad and Cledus were walking home. They saw a black car speeding. "Wonder what that crazy driver is getting into" Cledus said. They walked up to their suite and found blood, teeth, and the note. Chad and Cledus dropped their stuff and sighed in a mixture of anger and sadness. Then, Chad thought, "What if whoever kidnapped Pablo and Benny are the hijackers?" He went to bed, but planned revenge.

The shady gang member returned to the compound, and opened the body bag. Pablo had been dead and covered in blood and bugs. Benny had been barking the whole entire car ride. He showed them to Vlademir Hawk. "What is this?" Vlademir asks. "I said three men and alive. Not a dead Mexican, an annoying chihuahua, and disappointment." "I'm sorry boss", said the gang member. "It's too late for sorry" Vlademir said. Vlademir snapped a finger, and the floor under the gang member collapsed and he fell into a tank of nuclear sharks. Looking into the tank, there was nothing but blood. He snapped his finger and the floor came back together. He sat into his chair and face palmed himself. There was one thing he forgot about, Benny.

Chad and Cledus woke up, got ready, and hopped into a cab. They were dropped off at a corner store about a mile away from the compound. They started to walk. Two guards were in front of the compound. They walked up to them, knocked them out, and took their guns. They jumped the wall surrounding the compound. and furtively went into the warehouse. There were tons of crates of nuclear weapons and tons of high grade military vehicles. They walked up the stairs and shot some guards. The alarms went off. Swarming mobs came and were continuously shot down. One more wave of guards came. Cledus stood up to shoot at them, but was shot in the shoulder. He fell and started to die slow. Chad saw and the sight brought a tear to his eye. He grabbed a rocket launcher and shot at them. Bodies flew into the air. Chad was in the clear. He ran up a flight of metal stairs to the second floor. Gang members came out and were shot continuously. They all died. Chad then ran into the office of Vlademir Hawk. Chad walked in and Vlademir said "not so fast young one. don't be so quick to shoot. You see, this never had to happen, but with ignorance, comes consequences." Chad looked puzzled and raised his gun. "Are you sure you want to do that?" Vlademir said. Chad began to aim, but Vlademir snapped his fingers once again. Chad fell, but hung onto the edge of the floor, hanging on for his life. Vlademir slowly walked over, and right when he was about to shoot Chad, Benny jumped out of nowhere and ripped his face off. He fell into the hole Chad was hanging from and grabbed Chad's foot. Chad kicked, and he fell down into the tank. Before he hit the water, a nuclear shark jumped out of the tank and swallowed Vlademir in one bite. Chad pulled himself up, and walked out of the room with Benny in his hand. Police were swarming into the warehouse. Chad got inside a nuclear super jet with a crate. He opened the crate, and set the nuclear fusion bomb detonation at one minute. He hopped in the jet and put the bomb into the bomb drop cabinet. He lifted off with Benny in his lap. 30 seconds had passed and he had been over the center of Russian Vegas. He dropped the bomb and flew. Over the horizon, he saw the city, and then, a giant neon green, orange, red, yellow, and purple explosion. He flew off into the sunset, never to be seen again. Well, at least for now.

Where was Chad headed? One place that has never been reached by the Russians... Nexusily AC389, where a world of adventure awaits. To be continued.... Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_An-225_Mriya
