Sins Past

The destruction of Los Santos left many scars, the powers of which Balrog is planning to use to complete his plan. Tommy returns to Los Angeles to find out Jack has a never-before-mentioned son, but something about him immediately seems off. Tom is hunted by the T-Gang, who are furious with him for destroying their home, but there might be more to their motivations than meets the eye. Eventually, Balrog manages to complete his plan, becoming powerful enough to kill the other Demon Kings and destroy Hell, taking his father Lucifer with it. Tommy and the souls of all of his friends have to find a way to stop him, but even with the assistance of Olly, an altruistic, God-like being, Balrog's victory seems inevitable, leading them to ask a few old foes for help in taking down the common enemy.

Family Ties - Season 3

After Raja granted him the power of Necromancy and amplified his hypnotic abilities, Professor Barn starts making his ultimate plan of taking over the world by hypnotizing its population. Tom has to face his demons in a fateful clash with his nemesis Reggie, the end of which will change the layout of the entire Ollyverse forever. Fueled by vengeance for her family, Millie O'Connell joins forces with Tommy Bones, as well as quite a few unexpected allies to stop Vikram Barn once and for all, but things get increasingly complicated when he uses his newfound powers to resurrect the original Council of Dragons. While all of this is happening, the 500-year-long master plan of Balrog, the Fallen Demon King finally reaches its final phase, which involves a very evil, yet completely emotionless lawyer, a newborn baby from a specific bloodline, and a giant bomb.

The House out of Time

The first of four Ollyverse miniseries, The House out of Time serves as a concluding chapter to the story of Escargot's present storyline, following Heather, as well as some other protagonists from City of Terror and Games of Los Santos, trying to stop an evil sorcerer from summoning a Demon King. At the start of the season, Joseph Grace is revealed as the last acolyte of Raja (the Demon King whom Yakshashamu was serving), who is planning to conduct a ritual in order to awaken the power of his sentient house, which would open a portal to Hell. The Four Heroes try to stop him, but after being weakened in their fight with Yakshashamu, they are killed by the disillusioned Seamus, who has joined the enemy. Tommy, Mary, Heather and Steve are chosen as the four new heroes who will have to stop Grace's plan before King Raja unleashes his "Pandemonium" and takes over the world.

Escargot - Season 3

PART 1: After Yakshasha's plan is revealed to her by the Four Heroes, Heather sets off to fix the timeline by killing Mad King James and rescuing the Queen, with Fiona, Gerki, Timothy, Deirdre, Zostra and Mandragora on her side. James is, meanwhile, visited by a man in black, whose appearance, to everyone's surprise, concerns Yakshasha. Peter and Ox manage to find the solution to bringing back Heather, while Seamus and The Frenchman become the legendary rivals we know and love. PART 2: With the rift closed and the timeline saved, the Four Heroes put in motion their final plan of finally killing Yakshashamu, but the price of victory might be too steep. Heather is, meanwhile, preparing to go home, but one last betrayal, by the one she trusted the most, ensures her life will never be the same again.

Escargot - Season 2

PART 1: Cobra’s death causes major changes at the Court. Maria is looking for a suitable replacement, while inadvertently building herself a prison cell, and the Frenchman uses the opportunity to cause chaos. The church gets a new leader and the ringing of wedding bells signifies the arrival of a new king, but how good that is for the kingdom remains to be seen. Heather finds a friend in Fiona, while Warthorn is trying to figure out how to protect the inn and the squabbles within the King's guard become larger by the day. In the present, Professor Longfellow's plan starts coming together, as his henchmen kidnap Peter and Ox. PART 2: The rule of James Haywood quickly turns tyrannical and Heather starts concocting a plan with her allies in order to take him down, but it gets much harder when Scarpino kills Eric, taking his place as the captain of the King's guard, and allies with James, alongside Aspis and the Frenchman. Richard Longfellow is revealed to be Yakshashamu, a demon somehow simultaneously aware of his existence in both timelines, who is the mastermind behind the rift. The prequel aspect fully comes into focus as Warthorn's nephew, a humble Irish sailor arrives to the inn, and Yakshasha reveals the Frenchman's true purpose. Gerki, meanwhile, finally breaks his mental chains through the power of love.

Escargot - Season 1

The fifth chapter of Ollyverse follows two timelines, serving as both a prequel, and a sequel to the first four chapters, with each season divided into two halves. The story focuses on Heather Granville, a young woman who ends up transported to the year 1556. (seemingly) via a faulty time machine created by her friend Peter. The present timeline focuses on Peter and Heather's boyfriend Ox trying to find a way to bring her back, while the past timeline focuses on Heather trying to navigate her new life in a small medieval town's castle named Cobra Court, ruled by King Cobra and Queen Maria. In season 1, Heather becomes an honorary guest of the queen, who believes her to be a sign of positive change. She makes friends with the court jester and the captain of the King's guard, who saves her life from a priest believing her to be a witch. This causes a rift in the timeline, while Peter and Ox slowly start realizing the real reason Heather ended up in the past. In the local inn, Heather connects with the feisty innkeeper Fiona and her boss Warthorn, while the King's spiteful right-hand man, Grand Vizier Aspis, makes a deal with a pirate in order to assassinate his master. The inn is visited by a pair of travelling merchants from across the sea, with some very sinister motives, as Heather meets a creepy fortune-teller and ends up saving the day, but at what cost?

Between Sea and Sand - Season 2

The arrival of Cheyenne, a Native princess from beyond the desert, reveals the dark history of the town, as well as the identity of the one responsible for the appearance of the bandits. Sir Ambrose Montgomery, an evil oil baron, and a former slaver, is revealed as the mastermind behind the plan of destroying Mesa Valley in order to mine it for its riches. Elena, Ebenezer, Tuco, Django, Belle, Cheyenne, and even a reformed Sam, have to join forces in order to stop him, but a bigger evil lurks among them, and nothing will be able to prepare them for a demonic ritual that will seal, not only their fates, but the fates of the town's residents for centuries to come.

Between Sea and Sand - Season 1

The fourth chapter of Ollyverse is a seemingly standalone Western show, happening in the early 1890s. In the first season, Mesa Valley, a small mining town positioned between a desert and the sea, is shook from its usual routine with the appearance of Ebenezer Crest, a rich, self-proclaimed visionary, who desires to "modernize" the town. This puts him at odds with Elena, the town's no-nonsense sheriff, who is appalled by Ebenezer's disregard for the opinions of the townspeople. Meanwhile, a gaggle of bandits, led by the volatile Janet, starts terrorizing the town, while Elena's deputy Belle, and her father Django, start suspecting Ebenezer might be involved with them. As their conflict develops, Ebenezer and Elena start falling for each other, while Elena's rebellious brother Tuco ends up joining the bandits, causing even more turmoil in her life. Far from all of this, Joe, the town's drunk, sparks a friendship with a bizarre and creepy man, who seems to be missing his face.

Family Ties - Season 2

As the fabled War for Los Santos is depicted through flashbacks, a similar issue arises in the present, when the city is attacked and besieged by S.A.R.K., a private military company. Their leader, General Sark, is revealed to have a history with quite a few known characters, and none of those relationships remained very friendly, though he feels more respect towards some people than others. Ruth Payne soon arrives, as the secret benefactor of S.A.R.K., but her place is soon usurped by Vikram Barn, turning an awful situation into a true nightmare. Tommy, Zack, and Tom have to figure out a way to save the city, but even with the assistance of Michael and Gavin (who return after Tommy asks for their help), as well as the entire T-Gang, it seems Sark's army is too powerful. A heroic sacrifice tips the scale in favor of the heroes, but not before Sark gets Evan and Griffon O'Connell back into the city. The last stand determines the fate of the city, as Evan faces his greatest mistake, Griffon seeks vengeance for her daughter, and Tom faces off against the man responsible for his father's death - Sark's second-in-command, Reggie Williams.

Ashes of Cancún

Chronologically occurring between two seasons of Family Ties, Ashes of Cancún is a movie, focusing on Sergei, Michael and Gavin, about half a year after they had helped defeat Clayton in "City of Terror" and, subsequently, left for Moscow to join the secret service. Their boss, Lt. Viktor, dispatches them to Mexico, after a massive bomb has, reportedly, been smuggled into Cancún by the Phoenix. They join forces with the Spider, who has, apparently, switched sides after his escapades in Robert Locksley's service, while a persistent police commander is on their trail, believing them to be in league with the Phoenix. Sergei is struggling with a reignited feeling of guilt over the deaths of Aleks and Katya, while Michael and Gavin struggle to accept Uncle Carlos' apparent terroristic tendencies. In Moscow, meanwhile, a new member of Sergei's team, a computer genius named Scott, uncovers a dark conspiracy, which forces Aleks and Sergei's former boss, Major Konstantin, to leave retirement and root out a traitor.

Family Ties - Season 1

The third chapter of Ollyverse serves as the first official crossover between the two prior chapters. The story of Family Ties focuses on Tommy Bones, as he moves to Los Santos in pursuit of his archnemesis CC, but ends up becoming the leader of L.S.P.D. and helping protect the city from various threats, now that the Carvengers are no more. Each season features a standalone story, with the first one heavily focusing on CC, who, after evading capture in CoT, moves to Los Santos to live with his sister Freya and embarks on a redemption journey with the encouragement from Freya and her boyfriend, Mayor Zack. Zack is, meanwhile, struggling with his own demons, balancing his relationship with Freya, solving another financial crisis in Los Santos, understanding his newfound abilities, trying to solve the case of Benjamin Dover's murder with the assistance of Leighton Airey, as well as letting his darkness run rampant during grim torture sessions with the imprisoned, and paralyzed, Professor Barn. Things get increasingly complicated when the city's new investor is revealed to be CC and Freya's mother, whom they haven't seen in decades. Tommy soon arrives, seeking a way to bring Antonio to justice, all the while a sinister plan hatches in the shadows. Adam Montoya, the unseen main villain of GoLS and Antonio's former lover-turned-nemesis, forces friends, foes and frenemies to join forces in order to protect those they care about, even if they don't want to be protected.

Games of Los Santos - Season 8

The victory over Payne came at a dire cost and the Carvengers, now two members short, have to make a plan, in order to save their leader and take out the rest of the Council, as well as the Banana King. The Administration is, meanwhile, experiencing major changes after Payne's death, the most important of which is the arrival of Robert Locksley, a cold, completely emotionless accountant, with some very mysterious ulterior motives. Having lost the city's support, Simon is growing more desperate, as Griffon and Oliver execute their final attack on him, but, as it usually happens, things don't go entirely according to the plan. Dover is walking the fine line between a semi-loving father and a full-blown enemy to his sons, unexpected events cause both new, and old allies to emerge, while John is dealing with a very persistent Spider. All of this leads to the final battle against Vikram Barn, inside of the Labyrinth, which will seal the fate of Los Santos for months to come.

Games of Los Santos - Season 7

With Payne more powerful than ever, Zerker missing and Harold representing the Council on his own, the city very quickly turns into an all-out warzone. Moral dilemmas emerge, as the Carvengers start wondering if there is a way to stop Payne without killing him. Tobi, meanwhile, seeks redemption and reveals everything he knows to the Carvengers, before facing destiny in a very unusual exorcism. Dover has to deal with his twin sons, bosses of Ezekiel's and, presumably, Banana Kings, Wes is put before an impossible choice regarding his brother(s), and Charlie concocts a plan with Phil, in order to save his best friend from himself. Far from all of this, the truth about the Mastermind's true motives slowly becomes more apparent, while Professor Barn, having survived getting stabbed in season 6, switches to the back-up plan for achieving his, still not-completely-defined, goal.

Games of Los Santos - Season 6

In what is, arguably, the darkest season of the show, the repercussions of season 5 are still heavily impacting the citizens of Los Santos. The Carvengers are dealing with a tragic loss, but it turns out to be quite the opposite, when a long-lost brother returns home, though he might not be the way he was remembered. Randall Abernathy is, meanwhile, preparing his final plan, this time under the supervision of his superior Ezekiel, the second-in-command of the Banana King's organization. The arrival of Harold Lewis slowly shows everyone the extent of the Council's evil, while Tobi gets another dose of reality after being attacked by a zombie. The O'Connell household is in a state of panic after Millie's pregnancy reveal, amplified by Geoff's recent escape during the Battle of Bolingbroke, which leads to more people than one would expect joining forces to get Millie and Matt out of the city. Behind the scenes, the Council is falling apart after Payne openly betrays them, after which he, slowly but surely, becomes the greatest threat in Los Santos, thanks to a specific piece of information he was provided by Simon. With the threat levels rising, Carvengers will need all the help they can get, even from former enemies, to keep their city safe.

Games of Los Santos - Season 5

With his allegiance revealed and company lost, Randall Abernathy brings in an even bigger threat into Los Santos in order to destroy the Carvengers - The Aerohunters, an elite team of four mercenaries, equipped with superplanes. Tensions in the Administration, meanwhile, reach the highest point during a game of beer pong, the repercussions of which will seal the fates of many people in the city. Simon is preparing his master plan with Foggy the Clown, while Millie meets a boy she takes a liking to at Professor Barn's orphanage. Dark forces arise in La Mesa, as Phil slowly uncovers a drug-dealing operation, led by a powerful drug lord named Harold Lewis, all the while Carvengers have to deal their with new recruits, which include two reformed Hunters, as well as Bozey, a mysterious, seemingly kind-hearted spy, whose loyalties might lie elsewhere. Mary goes on a solo revenge mission in order to eliminate Ryan once and for all, Commissioner Payne grows more unstable, Talia uncovers a very valuable piece of information, Oliver starts living with Griffon and Millie, leading to a very wholesome family dynamic being established, a mysterious new player, known as The Syndicate, emerges with a grudge against Carvengers, and a surprising alliance is forged in Bolingbroke Penitentiary, the prison in which the Carvengers will have to overcome their greatest challenge yet.

Games of Los Santos - Season 4

The Council of Dragons starts tightening its grip on Los Santos, with two more of its members infiltrating the Administration through "accidental" conveniences. Francois' operation, meanwhile, is taken over by The Apprentice (whose real name, Randall Abernathy, is revealed in this season), who hires a group of elite thieves to destroy the remainders of the city's budget. This team, known as The Hunters, are soon provided with Carvengers-esque supercars, leading to the rise of a threat unlike any other for our heroes. Away from all of that, many new faces and situations emerge from the city: A mysterious sniper starts targeting the Administration, A killer clown named Foggy attacks Millie, Reverend Brown becomes a dragon, and Commissioner Payne's dark side becomes more and more apparent, culminating in a tense confrontation with the leader of The Hunters, in Fort Zancudo.

Games of Los Santos - Season 3

The disassembling of the Carvengers leads to many changes in the city. Mary and Tobi, both consumed by grief, enter a conflict after he expresses his conviction it was the fault of the Carvengers that his brother was killed, and she starts a sexual relationship with another man, trying to fill the void Flitz left behind. Evan's sister Griffon, a determined investigative journalist, arrives to the city with her daughter Millie, running away from a mysterious threat hunting her husband, and immediately gets involved in the chaos surrounding her brother, proving herself extremely capable and resourceful in the process. The Big Four are preparing their final plan, now that the city has no way of defending itself, but their internal squabbles lead to a few surprising developments. A very powerful reinforcement to the city's administration is, meanwhile, brought in by Mayor Zerker, in the form of Ethan Payne, a no-nonsense, justice-obsessed zealot, who becomes the new Commissioner of the city's police. Payne's arrival signals major changes in the way the city works, but how positive those changes are remains to be seen. The season ends with the Carvengers defeating the Big Four, but only after failing to stop Francois from completing his plan. A mysterious cabal called The Council of Dragons, led by the figure known only as The Mastermind, is revealed to be planning an undertaking of Los Santos, with Commissioner Payne as one of the members.

Games of Los Santos - Season 2

With Lester dead and the mysterious Big Four, allegedly attacking the city's infrastructure, the Carvengers start working more closely with the City Hall to prevent Notre Dame or Pierre, whose survival has not yet been confirmed, from hurting innocents. Season 2 gives every Carvenger a more personal storyline, apart from Wes, who only has his backstory hinted at during a conversation with David. Flitz and Mary are planning on marrying, encouraged by Flitz's brother, who has recently arrived to the city, but the gravity of the decision makes them unsure of their future within the team. Evan, meanwhile, meets a girl named Amie, who quickly enters the core group, much to David's dismay. David also has his entire world shaken with the reappearance of his father, whom he hasn't seen in over fifteen years, trying to make amends for leaving David and his mother. True colors are revealed in life-and-death situations, when Jeff and Oxelot resurface and attack the City Hall, the leader of the Big Four reveals himself, and the ultimate weapon Pierre spoke about is revealed to, not only be real, but the most devastating vehicle the Carvengers have ever faced.

Games of Los Santos - Season 1

The second chapter of the Ollyverse moves the story to GTA's city of Los Santos, with some reimagining of certain geographical features and the way Los Santos functions politically. Namely, the city, in this world, is an isolated, self-sustained city-state, with its mayor having the equivalent of presidential power. The story itself focuses on a group of vigilantes, assembled by Lester Crest as the first line of the city's defense against various threats, too taxing for the city's police. The vigilantes become collectively known as the Carvengers, using Lester's super-powered cars to fight crime (an idea taken from a mini-series made by Smosh Games and drastically expanded upon through seven additional seasons, with increased character development, new characters and a completely original story past season 1). As the show goes on, Carvengers become less of a focus, but remain prominent players in a power struggle between different factions, trying to control the city. Season 1 focuses on the creation of the Carvengers and their internal dynamics, including the clash between Evan O'Connell and David von Laserbottom over the leadership, as well as the development of a romantic relationship between Emmanuel Brown and Mary Hasitaka. The season also introduces the city's "administration triumvirate", consisting of John, the shy Minister of Finances, Phil, the incompetent Police Commissioner, and Mayor Joshua, a white-haired man in his 30-s with a mild case of Tourette's syndrome.

City of Terror - Season 10

The sides have been chosen and both parts of Gondola's master plan are underway. The finale of the Ollyverse Saga's first chapter sees Damien and his friends face off against The Librarian and his demonic master, as well as Trevor and CC, in an attempt to save the world. Will Tommy allow vengeance to take over and break his promise to Jack? Can Damien survive clashing with the powers of The Peppermint Man? Will Seamus and Steve's mysterious "masters" assist with the fight? And what is the price of stopping a Demon King for your average "hero detective"?
