Yay yay yay, I started a new fanfic! =D This is a Sci-Fi fanfic, introducing several Friendcodes members. I hope you all enjoy.
EDIT: I color coded the Fixedsys font: it signifies different people. You should be able to tell who's speaking now.
New Transmission
The numerous lights penetrated the cold night air as activity went on in the city. The people down below continued about whatever business they may have been in at the time, blissfully unaware of what trouble could have been stirring outside their world. It was a peaceful night for most, so few would even think about worrying.
On one tall building in the heart of the city stood a woman.
She stood on the edge of a skyscraper, looking out at the city under the light of the moon. On her face was a somewhat bulky, silver HMD, and her clean-cut yellow hair hung motionlessly in spite of the breeze. The woman looked down at the city, then stepped backward; she broke into a run and jumped out into the air…
She walked into an abandoned subway underneath the city streets. A single light blinked on the other side of the tracks as she crossed over and turned south.
Have you figured out what they’re up to yet?
No, no quite yet. Ha ha, all I can say from where I am is that they plan to keep me tied to this chair for a while.
The woman smiled to herself. Make some attention, so that you can get the information we need and get CORE out of there.
Okay, okay. That’s not a very fun approach, but you’re the boss.
The woman stopped in front of a large torn poster on the wall. She ripped it away from the wall to show an open pathway and continued walking within. At the first fork, she took a left and kept walking.
Eventually she reached a hole in the ceiling and climbed out to appear inside an empty storeroom. She swiftly left the room and boarded the nearest elevator.
What floor are you on?
Floor… I don’t know.
Make a good guess.
Ummm, I’d guess floor forty.
Are you out yet?
...Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!...
He’s going in, she thought. It shouldn’t take too long to leave this worthless—
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sound coming from the fortieth floor, just above her elevator. The elevator door opened, and there he was, smiling as always.
“That was fast work,” the woman remarked. “What did you do to them?”
“Oh, you know, just short-circuited the locks, then I… took their guns and hit them in their heads.” He smiled. “I didn’t shoot them, but-“
“Did you get the information we need?”
His smile straightened out for a second. “Ah, no, I thought you might want to do that.”
She looked down at the seemingly unconscious guards. “They aren’t cyborgs. You’ll have to do it, Saki.”
Saki sighed a little and said, “All right.” He bent down next to them and closed his eyes for a moment. Upon opening them again, he grinned and uttered, “CORE is not far from here. He should be a few corridors down in a room named… ‘The Gaming Room.’ Now, I think I recall being led past such a room! Let me see…” He disappeared around the corner, only to come back with a bigger smile than previously seen in the building. “Yep! I found it! Come this way!”
“Let’s just hurry, Saki. Who knows when security passes here,” the woman retorted.
The two companions entered The Gaming Room, surprised to find a single computer on the far side of the room. The lady touched it on the monitor, and it jolted to life. The screen remained a deep blue color, but white text appeared on the screen.
Regardless that this system does not have speakers installed, I have found what we need and have downloaded it onto my ROM. Please hurry and send me onto the Universal Serial Bus port. According to the network’s information, this room will be visited in ten minutes.
“Good ol’ CORE!” Saki exclaimed. “Always gets the job done!”
Saki plugged in his trusty blue USB drive into the computer’s CPU and watched earnestly as the computer’s living presence was downloaded into the drive in a matter of minutes. The woman unplugged the USB once the computer was finished; the computer clicked off. “Where is that MP7 player you bought yesterday, Saki?”
“Oh! Right here,” he pulled the flower-shaped media player out of pocket in his white trench coat and tossed it to her. She pushed a lid open with her thumb and could feel the life force flow to the media player. At that moment, Saki pulled small speakers out of the same pocket and plugged them in. Out of the speakers came a low, metallic voice.
“What is the fastest way out of here?”
“Can’t you tell us what you found out first?” The lady pressed.
“No. There is not enough time. Please change the output form.”
Saki gave the woman a pair of earphones; she took out the speakers and replaced them with the earphones. “Now what?” She said aloud.
“They’re coming… They’re in the hallway by now. Take the window out, won’t you?”
The cyborgs did as they were told; Saki quickly opened a window, and the two, CORE in tote, jumped out.
Below the falling pair a car was waiting. It was an ‘09 Corvette z06, a sleek midnight blue machine perfect for speeding about the city at night and getting away at just the right moment. As the ‘divers’ came closer to the car, out of the Corvette came a rush of power aimed upward; the visible lines of the force looked exactly like circuit lines off a computer chip. Both cyborgs’ hands began to glow with similar lines. Ten feet above the car, their weight shifted, and they hung there in the air. At that time of the night, the street was empty and inconspicuous.
Both people hooked into their seat belts, and CORE was plugged into the front of the Corvette. The car adjusted its own stick shift, lowered its acceleration pedal, and sped off.
Saki, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at the moon in the sky and said, “That was easier than most of our other crazy expeditions, wouldn’t you say?”
“I suppose so.”
Saki looked over at her and pushed up his glasses. “Do you think it will be easier from here on out, DN-AI?”
She looked down at CORE’s current body. “I doubt it.”
