Ant sat on the bottom stair eagerly awaiting the arrival of the post and without a doubt one of the greatest games ever to grace the planet, Metal Gear Solid 4. The year was 2012, Ant was a happily married man but still had a part of his life devoted to games. His Playstation 5 was like a third child and had a special place under the television.
The letterbox opened and a few letters and then a parcel dropped onto the floor, within an instant he had managed to rip open the parcel and pull out a box, to his surprise there was no game, just a piece of paper. Rage filled his head as he read the small note.
Special Reserve is no more! Ha ha ha ha ha
He immediately got on the phone to customer services to complain and get his copy of the game, the answer phone kicked in "We have taken control, phone 01111 555 444" Ant dialled the number and was surprised to hear a woman's voice "Welcome to DirtyGamePlay how may I help?"
Ant hung up the phone and then called his good friend Rasta, "Rasta, something awful is going on at Special Reserve."
Rasta had also called to complain and discovered the weird phone messages, he checked the web to reveal blank pages except for one page he managed to find.
"Help!
Special Reserve has been taken over by masked men armed with guns, I haven't got long before they find me and lock me away with the others. Members send help now, our future depends on it"
You see Special reserve were one of three companies worldwide that sold games and consoles, they weren't available anywhere else. DirtyGamePlay and BuyFromUs where the other two but BuyFromUS sold many other products too, they found it hard to compete with special reserves low low prices and enough was enough and they decided to take action and try shut them down for good.
Ant was a computer programmer by trade, he knew everything there was to know, Rasta was kind of the opposite, joined the armed police before setting up his own bodyguard company, himself and Stryke were the two bodyguards who worked for many famous celebrities including the high chief Tony. The managed to get in contact with a few of the other forum regulars they had become good friends with and hatched a plan to rescue and save special reserve. Wookie and Goaty arrived first in Goatys A-Team style van, Rasta and Stryke were next and lastly Sheepy who had a major hangover.
"Out last night then Sheepy?" asked Ant.
"Last night? I've been in the pub since 6.30 this morning" replied Sheepy. Goaty and Ant being the brains of the bunch hatched the plan, Ant could get them in and would try hack into the DirtyGamePlay mainframe to find a weakness in the company.
They pilled in the van and Goaty sped of towards Special Reserve HQ, he popped the tape in the cassette player.
"This is my band, ohh yeah we ROCK!!" said Goaty.
Wookie and Rasta played air guitar in the back as Stryke played on his GameBoy Maga Advance. Ant went on-line on his laptop and showed the true potential of his abilities, within minutes he was into the DirtyGamePlay system and had found some interesting facts, he also checked through the special reserve computer system to try find more clues as to what to expect when they got there. Sheepy sat up,
"I don't feel to good" said Sheepy.
" I pitty the fool who is sick in my van" screamed Goaty. Sheepy let out one huge burp before lying back in his chair.
It wasn't too long before they arrived close to Special Reserve HQ.
"Ok we are here, wonder if the woman with big hair and smile was working today?"
Ant worked on the door entry and security system while Rasta, Sheepy and Stryke and a quick kickabout with a football round the corner.
"Right guys I am in"
Rasta appeared round the corner first, he pulled out a gun from his jacket.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ant shouted.
"Just a little protection." Rasta replied
"Has anyone else got protection?" asked Ant.
Stryke and wookie both pulled out guns and Goaty pulled out a large stick.
"Bash em wiv stick time me thinks" said Goaty.
Sheepy then walked over.
"Protection? Er yeah I do"
Sheepy handed Ant a condom he had in his wallet, the rest laughed as Ant threw it back at Sheepy.
"Not that kind of protection, gah"
They entered the building and split up to find Tony and the other staff members and also try stop the hostages, they knew that by phoning the police they would have put Tony and co in danger and that was a risk none of them wanted to take. Ant, Sheepy and Wookie went up to the top floor and Rasta, Stryke and Goaty went to the basement to work their way up.
Both found nothing until they met on the 14th floor, Sheepy and Goaty went to the toilet while the others waited outside the boardroom where they could here voices.
On the toilet wall Goaty noticed the words "Snuggly eat my shirt"
"I've heard about that Snuggly thing" Sheepy said.
"Yeah me too, Apparently it is huge, bigger than wookie. A huge beast. But if you believe that then you are a fool, even more than a newbie"
As they walked back to meet the others Sheepy felt a little sick and rushed back to the loo.
The others entered the room to find all the staff members tied up, they untied them all but before they could move a team of armed men stormed into the room and it looked over for them all. The armed men where getting ready to execute them all when suddenly a huge roar was heard down the hall, load footsteps getting closer to them could be heard. Then a huge blue coloured beast smashed through the door. The guards opened fire but caused no harm to it at all. The beast then started throwing the armed men around the room, after he was finished there was a pile of bad guys at one end of her room.
"Snuggly you saved me" shouted Tony. Sheepy then walked in to the room "Whats going on? Don't suppose anyone seen a huge blue thing, I kind of opened a door and it kind of got away, ohh there it is."
The DirtyGamePlay chairman forced me to sign a contract offering him 90% control of Special Reserve, we have to catch him before this goes public. They all got into Goaty's van, everyone apart from Tony and Snuggly. Tony got his chaffeur to drive him and Snuggly wasn't allowed to leave as he had to stay behind and keep guard.
Ant, Goaty and Tony decided that they would be the best to negotiate with the evil DirtyGamePlay chairman. As they entered his office he gave out an evil laugh.
"If it isn't my new slave and his chums. What do you want"
"Give him back his company and stay out of his business or we tell the world your secrets." Shouted Ant.
"Secrets! I have none you little liar."
"Maybe this will jog your memory. Mmmm let me think, you were born a woman, you still live with your mum, your third nipple. Need I go on" said Ant who had discovered this while hacking into their mainframe.
"Ok enough, you can have it back, just don't tell anyone ok?"
With these words Special Reserve was once again saved. Tony rewarded Ant and the others by giving them exclusive discounts when buying from Special Reserve, they also got a lot of free stuff too. Snuggly became the official mascot of special reserve and soon Snuggly merchandise became the biggest selling toys and teddy's at Christmas.
Everyone lived happily ever after. The End………
Hope you enjoyed it!
