Cyberpunk 2099: Alien Extraction System
"Terranoids, malicious malware and viruses with mechanical bodies made of metals and steel, created by a violent AI known as Omni-cast. During the year 2079, Terranoids ran rampant through out the world and war between cybernetic humans and Terranoids broken out. Wuth the insane combat cyberwares and skill wares and mods, the Terranoids were almost wiped out by humans. But they learned, they evolved, the war was quickly reversed as the Terranoids managed to learn Quick hacks, disabling the very cyberware the humans relied on and turned them against each other. Humans were almost wiped out, that is until they figured out a way to mix technology with the body, inserting nanobots to assist in reshaping and evolving the genes beyond the gjven limit, creating the Altered ones. The war was once more put under control and in a stale mate. Under the slightly peaceful era, corporate enterprises rose up once more and greed enveloped thw world with these new knowledge of power. Another path to evolution was hence created, they are called Mechanoids! Mechanoids, humans who are made up of pure steel! Their cells, genes, flesh and organs are all pure nano machines! Their strength even stronger than Altered ones but their minds became corrupted and with power, comes greed. Hence, another war between The altered Ones and Mechanoids broke out eventually dividing the entire planet into two continents ; Origin Continent and Cyborgenic Continent. On Origin Continent, Michael, a young teenager, lives in a slum, where he makes a living by producing and selling illegal substances. Despite his hard work, he struggles to make ends meet and dreams of a better life. Michael hears about a rare and powerful gene-editing nanobot being sold on the black market, which can grant incredible physical abilities to its host. Hopeful about becoming a Spliggen and escape the cruelty of the slums and the oppression from the High-born, Michael used his earnings of ten years, finally purchasing the gene-modifying nanobot, the trader gifting him a useless assistant nanobot. However, before he can use it, the nanobot is stolen by a rival gang in a violent confrontation!
Can't Bare To Let You Leave
"Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!"
Michael instinctively took a big dive forward, his right hand grabbing the edge of a metal table by his landing point. The moment his shoulder touched the ground, he immediately rolled forward.
Whoosh!
Michael felt a stream of bullet pass by his ear.
Sparks flinted off as bullets ricochet and slammed into the back of the table. The kinetic force boosting him further.
Holding the table tightly, he forcefully kicked backwards. A muffled boom echoed as his legs muscles expanded and squirmed with immense force and kicked hard into the ground.
He charged forwards and slammed into an Enforcer blocking his way.
The enforcer had been a little slow to pull his weapon but seeing as the little street runt from a backwater run-down slum charging at him an Enforcer, Bronv chuckled coldly.
He flicked his arms and with a loud humming sound, two large gauntlets retracted from his shoulders, attaching to his fist mechanically and systematically as they sizzled and crackled with electricity.
Activating his Basic Combat Skill-ware, electricity surged crazily around his fist as he instantly punched out!
"Crackle!"
Michael's scalp tingled and his pupils constricted. An intense sense of danger clouded his mind as the image of the fist covered in blue electricity zoomed in rapidly in his pupils.
If this fist souls touch his head, it would certainly explode to mincemeat! Even if he was lucky enough to survive being punched, that amount of electricity would fry his half his brain, leaving him in a vegetative state!
Despite this, Michael didn't slow down! His muscles tightened as he sped up even more like a charging rhino.
It was as though he couldn't sense the danger before.
A mocking sneer appeared on the Enforcer's face. He increasing the output of the electricity to the maximum.
Just as the fist was an inch away from the fist, the surroundings suddenly slowed. It was as though time itself had slowed down!
[Bio-cell Fuel] : (111/1000)
Michael could feel the heat from the crackling electricity. Every pore on his face was illuminated by the lightning and even a single bolt of stray lightning conducted through the air and was just a centimeter from touching his face.
He could also see the sneer on the Enforcer's face was accompanied by an heavy condescending look. It was as though he as looking at an ant, a prey he could easily swash with his fist.
Despite this, he could tell the man didn't hold back the least. It was as though he truly wanted Michael dead just for being born as low class!
Putting this deep to his heart, Michael wasted no time and hurriedly tilted his body sideways.
The tips of the knuckle of the electrified fist brushed tightly against his face.
It wasn't even up to a second when the slowed time resumed as it was.
"Whoosh! Crackle!"
The fist instantly by-passed Michael's cheek. But the electricity wasn't that easily escapable.
Four bloody lines tore through his cheeks and half of Michael's face immediately tured numb.
The fist passed through his face, slamming into the table Michael had used as a shield.
"BOOM!!!"
The table shattered into multiple piece, scattering metallic fragments in all directions!
Michael's back was stabbed by numerous fragments as he finally by-passed the Enforcer, leaving multiple severe wounds in his back that could bee life-threatening to an ordinary individual.
But Michael wasn't the only one who suffered. Bronv's eyes widened and he immediately gave a command.
Electric impulse from his brain sent message to the Cyberware and a layer of dark metallic coating mechanically arranged themselves on his chest, all the way to his neck.
Sadly, it was still too slow. A metal shard flew through the air with the speed of a bullet, stabbing deep into his neck artery, severing it.
It was a about to exit the back of his neck when thew protective coating appeared, blocking it from exiting the back of his neck!
"BANG!"
Ignoring the searing pain, Michael stomped heavily against the Enforcer's back and used the speed to propel himself towards one of the Gravity pod! (1)
Ten meters
Nine meters
Five
Three,
Two,
One,
Michael surged forward like a cannon, his neural implants overclocked as he hurtled towards the pod at full velocity. The neon-lit corridors of the Precient flickered around him, a chaotic fusion of data streams and augmented reality billboard.
If he could get to the gravity pod, then the percentage of him escaping the Precient will improve to about 50 percent!
In the second Michael was about to step into the Graviton pod, his enhanced senses kicked into an overdrive. At that moment, the 3d augmented reality overlay in his vision glitched momentarily and surged with an intense crimson line.
"Why do you want to leave when the rave (1) isn't over yet?"
Those words had barely registered when Michael's face changed drastically. Before Michael could process the influx of data, the intense crimson vector within his 3D map materialised, streaking like a virtual bullet, drawing an intense crimson line that charged towards his real position.
*So fast!*
He had barely thought these words
When an immense force collided into him.
"BAM!"
A hand, bionic sinews gloves with mechanical precision, suddenly clamped down on his throat!
With a speed he could not fathom, he was yanked off-course. In basic human perspective, Michael was only one second into the Gravitor when a shadow so fast an ordinary human could barely see, bashed into him that very second.
The tightened hand gripped, smashing him heavily against the reinforced concrete floor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
His back rebounded off the ground repeatedly as he was brutally dragged across the surface, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
Desks and tables were obliterated, their electronic innards exposed amidst the chaos. Decorations that once adorned the space now lay in ruins.
Finally, he was hurled against the transparent partition that separated him from the glass wall partition, showing the cityscape below.
1. Rave: Cyberpunk meaning of party.
