Futuristic Hoppers

[Pixelated]

In the year 2089 the UAW (United Alliance of Worlds) created the first Hoppers, to combat the rise of inter universal crime over 11 years later the hopper program struggles to keep up with demand criminals run rampant on the streets of most major cities in almost every world and the UAW is getting desperate.

Hoppers - Hoppers as the name suggests have the ability to hop between any world at will currently they are the only creature in the known multiverse to have this ability thanks to mobile rift generators fitted into their hands, newer models can project holograms from projectors mounted in the lens of the left eye. the right eye has the ability to find and focus in on heat signatures although only the elite class S hoppers have this ability. The majority of early hoppers have basis in many species a common used species is the human. The UAW have not disclosed what makes up the basis of their newer Hoppers, many speculate it to be a fully mechanical build but no-one has cut one open... yet.

The UAW - The UAW is the major governing body in the multi-verse controlling basically everything that a government should, founded in 2066 by John L Major after the discovery of the Multiverse. The UAW produces the Hoppers who were built to control legal and law enforcement in the worlds by whatever means necessary, In 2090 there was an uprising in the coal mines of Cass1817 where H class Hoppers were first used. Witnesses report mass bloodshed as the Hoppers destroyed the city and anyone in their way.

Midnight December 31st 2099.
5... Hopper designation C-19 or more affectionately known as Rylie was stood on her apartment's balcony in her home City Jen121 overlooking the centre where upon the centennial celebrations were taking place. 4... she takes a drag from a cigarette and tosses it over the balcony to the ground. 3... Rylie turns to head inside closing some trashy reality show that was playing on her projector. 2... The girl sits in the lone armchair in her dark unlit room "1" she sighs and takes a swig of 2090 wine "happy fucking century"

5...Richard, a previous resident of World CX21-5a, ran through the crowded streets as fast as his legs would take him. He had no idea which dimension this was but he knew he had to escape the Hoppers chasing him. 4...They were gaining fast, not that that was a surprise, Hoppers were trained to be fast. 3...Up ahead Richard saw what he could assume was a city centre, or at the very least a place of gathering. And luckily for him the place was crowded with people celebrating. 2...Richard pushed through the crowds as politely as he could to the response of many people calling him a jerk for ruining their flow. 1...As the crowd cheered Richard turned back to see if he had lost the hoppers and collided with an assortment of trash candy, causing a loud crash.

Rylie both hears the crash and gets an alert on her holographic projector, didn't say who they were or what they did just some poor fool needing to be put down. Upon leaving her building she met up with the other Hoppers, there were at least five including her one S, Three Hs and one L (Rylie) as the five marched into the centre people parted like the red sea no one got in the way of a H. They reach the centre of the centre near to the Centennial tower and split up one of them taking each of the five roads. Rylie spent more time looking over the Info on this guy rather than looking for him, she hadn't even got her rifle in her hands due to the low probability of running into the wanted man

After Richard had caused the crash he had began running down the north east road. It had seemed to be the least crowded out of the five roads that he had seen leading from the centre, which meant that he would be able to run faster but it also meant that any Hoppers would have just as easy of a time cathing up to him. Luckily he knew that Hopper procedure in times like this was to split up, so he'd only have to deal with one of them if they caught up. And maybe he might just be able to convince them to let him go, after all it wasn't their fault they didn't know who they worked for.

Rylie enters onto the north east road, it wasn't the one she had been told to take but her's had taken a sharp right and joined onto it she looked back towards the centre where she saw the Hopper leading the team the S coming up the road towards her. As Rylie turns to look the other way she spots someone running, their description exactly matching the one of their wanted man. She continues to follow him seeing where he goes as the S turns to take a different route, Rylie knew S classes well, presumably they were working on an intercept course. She is able to track the three H classes and finds that they are all attempting to Intercept the Runner. Now that no one can see her Rylie runs through the tight alleys after him shouting "Stop, Police!" as she runs towards him

Richard panicked as he heard the woman behind him. In fact he was so panicked that he tripped and fell. He quickly turned himself around and looked to the woman. "Please, you can send me back there. Bow that I've escaped they'll kill me," Richard begged, holding up his hands in defense. Now that he had stopped the barcode on his shirt was clear. It read SLV CX21-5a 05069. The middle numbers were where he was from, the last numbers were his prisoner number, but the first letters didn't read PRSNR (Prisoner) like they should have, they read SLV (Slave)

Rylie looked around again figuring out the locations of the other hoppers, She picks him up the hydraulic rams in her arms making the work easy although it's not hard to hear them working. "you scared of heights?" She asks looking up at the tall buildings on either side of them. She can see the first H turn the corner towards her, he begins to fire on them. Rylie can't fire back as her hands are full, she looks around desperate for a way to move up before noticing a window washing elevator close to the ground, she could probably jump onto it, if she threw this 05069 guy. "Hold on to your... something" she tells him before launching him through the air onto the cold metal of the elevator

(boop?)

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

(Sorry, just thinking on how best to reply)

 

[Pixelated]

(okay)

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

(Maybe if you edited it so she did throw him at the end?)

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

At first Richard was confused by the question of heights, "of course I'm not afraid of heights, what are you..." Richard then interupted himself as he followed her gaze to the buildings and suddenly got what she meant. He was about to tell her not to throw him, but before he could he was already up in the air and on the elevator. After the moment of panic faded one thought went through his mind, why did she just save him.

Rylie fires several shots down the alley at the Hs coming towards her before climbing onto the Elevator and hitting the up button "You got a name kid?" she asks as the Elevator reaches the top and her and Richard get off, she cuts the cords holding it crushing one of the Hs and blocking the other two from climbing back up.

Richard looked up at the hopper as she asked him his name. Of course it was a pretty standard question, but he was still hung up on the fact that she had gone against her orders and saved him. Hell, she had just killed two of her fellow officers. "My name is Richard," he said softly, "what about you? You got a name or just a serial number."

"This unit is designated C-19 but you can call me Rylie" She picks him up again and begins to run as the S starts to climb up the side of the building "You know how to use a gun Richard?" she asks passing him a standard issue pistol "blow that fuckers head off" she puts him on her shoulders as she runs trying to not drop him

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

Richard was genuinely surprised by all the quick actions that had happened in quick succession. He was also surprised at Rylie's, almost, eagerness to kill her fellow Hoppers. But if it stopped him going back to those awful cells he wasn't going to argue, though he had only ever fired a gun a few times in his life. Richard fired three times but only managed to hit the Hopper in the shoulder once.

The S was specially made to target an opponents weaknesses. Even though it's shoulder is damaged it can still fire it's rifle. It fires a large calibre armour piercing round into Rylie's left leg tearing it away shards of metal blast through the air as she falls dropping Richard. The S is still sprinting towards them "Richard for fucks sake!" Rylie takes her Rifle from her back and fires six or seven rounds into the S's chest

Richard panicked as he fell from Rylie's shoulder. He was only lucky that she was there to finish off the Hopper that had followed them to the roof, though he wasn't crazy about her shouting at him. "Hey calm down okay," he said back quickly, "I'm a writer not a soldier."

 

[Pixelated]

"Calm down?! I'm missing a Leg!" Rylie hits him with the large lump of battered metal that was once her leg. " just drag me where I tell you to" she grumbles inputting some messages using the controls on the backs of her hands

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

"Oh..." Richard said, only just noticing that the whole leg had actually blown off, "sorry." He then picked her up in a cradle hold and began walking, waiting for her to give him directions.

Rylie is heavy, being mostly made of metal with few organic parts will do that "stay on the roofs for a while and keep going until you get back to the centre... once there I need you to take me down the south road, there's a hopper repair shop there although you need to stay away from it... y'know seeing that you're a wanted man and all that"

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

Richard nodded as he walked, giving a few grunts as he did. Richard was by no means a weak man, but Rylie was pretty heavy. It took about ten minutes, but Richard eventual made it to the place Rylie had directed him. Of course it had crossed his mind that she may be just setting an elaborate trap, but he didn't think that she would kill her fellow Hoppers for a simple ploy. Richard let her down a few buildings from the shop, "I'll wait back on the roof," he said quietly.

Two UAW agents came out and dragged Rylie inside she gave them false information on how the escapee was incredibly dangerous and destroyed the other hoppers and severely damaged her. The work took hours to complete and as Rylie stepped outside fully repaired the sun was rising. She walked through the streets back to where Richard was supposed to be waiting and climbed up.

 

[DapperCharmer2.0]

As Richard waited part of him feared that maybe something had gone wrong, she had been in there an incredibly long time. But then the more sensible side of him reminded him that a full repair on her leg was probably going to take a little longer than a few minutes. He soon enough heard a sound from the ladder and readied himself for the worst, only calming himself when he saw it was Rylie. "How did the reply go?"
