The Start of a Tail

The Start of a Tail

Bri wakes up in her bed and turns off her alarm. Another day in Boe, sometimes the dreams are better than the reality, and sometimes they are worse.Bri gets off her bed and steps out onto her apartment balcony. The view is majestic from the 14th floor. You can see flying cars zooming past her building. Large skyscrapers tower over the complex center in Boe. You hear advertisements from large panels across building promoting Flow soda or Hub-way. She lights up a smoke and inhales. Bri puts her long slender arms on the railing. She takes long deep drags from her smoke then tosses it off the balcony. You see a large fog start to move into the picture. It starts to rain and water drips onto her long purple hair. Bri steps back into her apartment complex. She moves to her dresser drawer and starts to change her clothes. Bri puts on a black t-shirt and black hoodie with a red/black mini-skirt. Then picks out her black shoes to match. She stops and stares at herself in the mirror with a grin. It cost her a lot to upgrade her body this much and keep it looking so fit. She pushes a button on the side of her neck and a digital screen appears. Then taps the screen scrolling through websites and different ads appear in front of her. Looking for that special someone pops up on the screen. Bri deletes it quickly and gets flustered.

Bri keeps looking through websites and messages. Then you hear a beeping sound once more. She answers the call. You see a man’s face on the screen, he has short spiked black hair with a white mask covering his face and he has dark green eyes.

“What do you have for me today, Sid? It better not be killing Taru again. I still haven’t washed the electric venom out of my red jacket.” Bri says.

“Hmm, normal business, you know Turk’s Bar in lower Boe? “Sid states.

“Yea I know that bar, do you want me to take out the trash?” Bri smirks back.

“I want you to talk to the owner, they haven’t paid me in a month. No one messes with the Reapers” Sid glares at Kiasii.

“Aww come on Sid, I wanted to open up a bottle of wine, maybe have a bath.”Bri responses.

“Time is money Bri, can you leave now? Sid speaks back with a glare on his face.

“Sure but I want a cut,” Bri states.

“Of course, take some Meni if you want. Call me after you're done.” Sid responds and Sid’s face leaves the screen. Meni was the form of currency in the city of Boe.

Bri moves to her kitchen where a foodae sits on a counter which is a food creation machine, a menu pops up with foods of all kinds. Bri scrolls through the list then she puts a bowl underneath the machine and selects spicy ramen. Bri grabs a tube of liquid gel from the fridge and then loads the food creation machine with the gel.

“Tada turn on a random song from my EDM playlist,” Bri says out loud.

Tada was Bri’s personal internal computer. Music starts to play in the background as Bri dances around shaking her butt to the beat. The foodae starts to beep. Bri grabs the chopsticks and the bowl with spicy ramen from the foodae. Bri starts to eat her meal.

“Hot, hot, hot” Bri screams as she slurps the noodles. Bri looks at a digital clock on the wall.

“Shit time to go.” Bri thinks in her head.

Bri walks over to her weapon’s stache in the apartment. She opens the stache revealing a chainsaw, laser swords, and various guns of all kinds. A long thin black katana rests on the mantle. Bri grabs her katana, then sheaths it and straps a blaster to her leg. Then she grabs a vaporizer and attaches it to her back with her black katana. Bri walks over to the corner of her room where the hoverboard is stored and then grabs it. She then grabs her large cordless green headphones from the bed. She puts on her green headphones and whips back her long purple hair. Bri dashes to her balcony and trips over some of her clothes scattered on the floor but manages to balance herself out. Bri sighs then the automatic door to the balcony opens after a sensor scans her red pupils.

Bri steps outside her apartment on a rainy day, it's dark and cloudy. Bri feels the rain hit her beautiful body and drizzle down her hair. Good thing everything was waterproof in this digital world. She grew excited for this trip to Turk’s Bar, there was nothing like the feeling of hoverboarding in the rain. Feeling the water hit your body almost like a shower but the thrill came through when you hit max speed. Kiasii grabs her balcony railing with her left arm and holds the hoverboard with her right arm. She uses her left arm to fling herself off the balcony. She starts falling through the sky while feeling the wind brush her hair. She positions the hoverboard to her feet and it automatically registers her as the user so it starts. Bri hovers through the complex district at full speed making her way to Lower Boe. You see countless large skyscrapers and ads flying through the city. It’s a peaceful night in the rain, which is uncommon for Boe. Bri hovers through the sky dodging hovercrafts, different ships, and transporters. Old-school Japanese rock is blasting through her headphones as she surfs the sky. She then notices a blinking yellow traffic light bot in the distance. Bri speeds up through the yellow light, she grabs the pole that was on the side of a building and swings herself around it using the momentum to hit max speed. Bri sees the border to Lower Boe and security drones hover around the area. Bri flips around and then doubles back trying to avoid the security drones before they can register her. She flies through a small opening between a large transporter and a skyscraper then sneaks into Lower Boe.

As she flies through the sky, below her is the marketplace, a large bazaar for selling different food, relics, and oddities. On one of the buildings lays a crew of Taru. Taru were long slender yellow aliens, basically evolved lizards with narrow slanted eyes that would remind you of a snake's eyes. They could shoot electricity from their mouths. Electricity also would circulate their bodies offering them protection. If you touched a Taru you would be quickly electrocuted or your body could short-circuit making them a deadly foe. The Taru were known to hunt in packs. The Taru hated the Reapers clan and were fighting them for control of Lower Boe. A Taru was looking through a zoomed-in screen with two Electro-44 attached to both arms. The Electro-44 shot beams of electricity, the gun would use the natural power of electricity from Taru’s energy. The Taru noticed Bri soaring through the sky on her hoverboard. “Gara Gara Reaper” It shouts to the other Taru behind him.

You see Bri through the zoomed-in screen, the Taru lines up his arm then fires. A large beam of electricity flies through the sky and Bri notices it just in time. She swiftly dodges the beam. All the Taru start to scream and fire multiple beams of energy at her. You watch as she dodges left and right with a beam gracing right by her long purple hair. Finally, several beams hit her hoverboard which disables the main systems causing Bri to spiral downwards through the air. Bri lands in a pile of mechanical trash within a bin with a large thud located in a random back alley of the Marketplace in Lower Boe.
