Fear in USPP

Nick slid to cover. They were being rained with lasers. Nick ducked his head. He was a rookie. A scared rookie.
It was the year 2130, and the Earth had improved in technology greatly. So much, that people were now living on other planets and beginning civilization there. Jupiter, Uranus, and Mercury were off-limits since there were so many dangers, but planets like Mars and Venus were great spots for the space pioneers. Since Mars was closer to Earth (And more inhabited) it got much more imports from the governments of Earth and because of that, grew more quickly. Venus on the other hand...
Venus was a planet where many had to fight for themselves. Imports would take at least 7 months to reach them, where as Mars took a week. Venus citizens ran out of supplies quickly, and resorted to stealing and killing others. Many Venus citizens went crazy. Venus became the ultimate crime planet after a while, and the USPP (United Space Police Program) was invented.
Of course the USPP protected all planets, but their number one concern was Venus. And that's where Nick was right now. Venus.
A madman named Hyper had killed almost his entire neighborhood and stolen all their supplies. 2 USPP squads had come after him in the last 2 weeks, and he evaded both of them, and killed 4 policemen in the process.
Now Nick's squad was facing him. They had him cornered. Hyper was on the roof of a building. If he jumped, he died. He had no cover. He kept blasting away at Nick's squad.
Nick's friend, Jamez, slid next to him. Jamez was a rookie too. He had been best friends with Nick ever since they met as children on Mars.
“Nick” Jamez said. “I'll handle this. I'm pro.”
Jamez peaked over the cover and quickly ducked. A laser flew right over Jamez's head.
“K....nvm.” Jamez said.
Shadowdragon, the squad leader, started shouting orders.
“Colten!” Shadow said. “Shoot! Fucking shoot him!”
Colten stood up over his cover. He fired two shots and then got headshotted. Colten fell over dead.
“Dammit..” Shadow said.
Colten and Shadow were the only non-rookies on the team. Shadow knew Jamez and Nick couldn't kill Hyper.
“C'mon faggots!” Hyper said.
Shadow got up, ran, and slid to Jamez and Nick. Hyper tried shooting him but he missed.
“Who can tell me what gun he has.” Shadow said.
“Pink-laser Multi-Gun?” Nick said.
“Yeah..yeah..” Shadow said.
Around this time, bullets had become primitive. Lasers were now used in war, and their color depended on their size.
Red was usually used for pistols, Green for shotguns, Pink for machine guns, Yellow for long-ranged, Blue for bombs, and Black for turrets.
“And how many clips does he have?” Shadow said.
“One, obviously.” Nick said.
“Correct.” Shadow said.
Hyper kept shooting at their cover, hoping to shatter it.
“And this idiot's wasting all his bullets.” Shadow said. “He'll be out any second.”
Hyper kept firing away at the cover. Soon their cover began falling apart.
A bullet flew through Shadow's chest.
“Ah!” Shadow said.
Shadow fell down.
“Shadow..!” Jamez said.
“I'll distract him, you guys get to better cover..” Shadow said.
Shadow grabbed his gun, a red-laser standard pistol, and pushed himself up.
Shadow shot at Hyper, but because of his wound he was too buzzed out to aim correctly.
Jamez pushed Nick out in the open since Nick would budge. Nick scrambled to the next cover, ducking Shadow's bullets.
Shadow hit Hyper's arm and Hyper grabbed it immediately. Getting hit by a laser was more painful than a bullet. As the laser bursts through your skin, it also spreads some particles that go all throughout your body to give you this stinging feeling.
Jamez crawled to the cover next, as Hyper's lasers teared Shadow to shreds.
Jamez hid behind the cover more panicked than ever.
“What do we do??” Jamez said. “We're just two rookies..!”
“He's injured, and he's running low on lasers.” Nick said. “If we can draw his fire, we can get him.”
“How do we do that.” Jamez said.
Nick pushed Jamez out in the open.
Hyper saw him and started shooting. Jamez crawled to the cover they were at before.
Hyper kept shooting at the weakened cover, but then Jamez and Nick heard clicking sounds. Hyper was out of lasers.
Nick stayed in cover still scared.
Jamez stood up pointing his Red-Laser Standard at Hyper.
“You're under arrest, Hyper.” Jamez said.
“I don't think so.” Hyper said.
Hyper tossed his gun to the side and jumped off the building. Jamez hoped over his cover and ran to the edge of the building. Nick did the same.
Hyper was parachuting to the ground.
“No. I don't think so. Bitch.” Jamez said.
Jamez kept shooting at Hyper but his aim wasn't that good. Nick ran over and grabbed Hyper's gun.
Nick took out a clip for pink lasers and shoved it in.
Nick took careful aim on the floating Hyper. Hyper was about 15 feet from the ground.
“Jamez jump down there. By the time you get down there he should be rolling on the ground.” Nick said.
“Are you kidding? We don't have parachutes!” Jamez said.
“No.” Nick said. “But we have gliders.”
Nick pressed a button on Jamez's glove, and wings popped out of the back of his uniform.
“Oh right. I must have missed that part of basic training.” Jamez said.
Jamez jumped off and glided down to Hyper.
Nick aimed carefully on Hyper's parachute and shot. The force of the pink lasers flying out knocked Nick back. The laser still made it to Hyper's parachute however, and tore holes into it. Hyper fell and hit the ground.
Jamez hit the ground next to Hyper and quickly hand-cuffed him.
Nick smirked to himself and he watched Jamez drag Hyper around. Jamez waved to Nick signaling him to come down. Nick glided down to Jamez. They had caught their first criminal. And he was a Most Wanted.
This sounds like it could be the ending to a movie about a police academy. But this is not the ending. This is just the beginning of Nick's adventure.
Nick flew his squad's ship back to the mothership.
Hyper stayed in the prisoner core while Jamez taunted him.
Usually Shadow had flown the ship, and it felt weird when Nick was flying it. They'd have to relocated Nick and Jamez to different squads when they go back to USPP. Nick didn't look forward to that.
Nick made it to the loading dock, and the USPP Mothership commander, Corey was waiting for them.
Nick jumped out of the ship, while Jamez grabbed Hyper.
“Well when I heard your transmission I couldn't believe it!” Corey said. “Two rookies, took down Hyper, the Most Wanted man in Venus!”
“I ran out of lasers. Otherwise I would have smoked these faggots.” Hyper said.
“Yeah yeah tell it to the judge” Jamez said.
“I plan to.” Hyper said.
Jamez pushed Hyper infront of Corey.
“Snake, Rik, take this bastard to the Prison Cells.” Corey said.
Two robots walked over and grabbed Hyper, dragging him off.
The USPP Mothership was completely protected by robots. The robots, or USPR's, were the ship's security. Sure they had tons of specially trained officers, but most were coming and going. The USPR's were the ship's stable security. USPP has many scientists on board checking for malfunctions and annually testing robots.
“Most likely the judge will give him death.” Corey said. “Walk with me boys.”
Nick and Jamez walked along side Corey. Corey was a chubby old man. He was the main funder of USPP and so he demanded he be the commander of the ship. His regal appearance, such as a classy suit and top hat, did not blend in with the armored policemen around the site. Corey took out a pipe and began smoking it.
“Now..” Corey said. “Sergeant Colten and Captain Shadowdragon were KIA, correct?”
“Correct, sir.” Nick said.
“Hm. Hm..” Corey said.
Corey thought for a moment.
“I thought of promoting you, but it is too early to do that. You need to prove yourselves a little more.” Corey said. “I will have our men find the perfect team for you and I will make sure you two stay together. In the meantime, let's see if I can find you any jobs around the Mothership?”
“Sounds great, sir.” Jamez said.
A ship landed next to them. A purple ship with black stripes.
“They're back!” Corey said.
Corey waddled over to the ship in excitement.
“Is that them?” Jamez said.
“Yes.” Nick said.
“I'm so excited this is the first time I've seen them in person!” Jamez said.
“Same.” Nick said.
Nick seemed more calm than everyone. People crowded around the ship excitedly.
The walkway slowly descended from the purple ship. It had everyone on the loading dock's attention.
Two tied up criminals were thrown out the ship.
“DeathofRa and his sidekick Yoshidude!” Corey said.
“The most rutheless killers in the entire galaxy..” Nick said quietly to himself.
Slowly, each teammate walked off the ship. They were the best squad of USPP. There was Izzy, the chunky heavy weapons expert. Sunnycide, the master marksmen. And of course, Shido. Shido was the leader, and he was an all-around best. The squad was honored by the other USPP policemen. Even Nick saluted them.
Corey clapped.
“Good job boys, Good job.” Corey said.
“Well, we try.” Shido said.
“No we don't.” Sunny said.
Sunny and Izzy high-fived.
“They are sooo cool” Jamez said.
“Alright DeathofRa” Shido said. “Your days of killing are over!”
“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling fatass!” Ra said.
“Ruff.” Izzy said.
Corey patted Shido on the back.
“Shido, you and these guys right here...You are the heart and soul of this place.” Corey said. “Keep doing what you're doing. Hey, can we get these two sons of bitches in a jail cell? Thanks.”
Corey walked by Nick and Jamez, with Shido, Sunny, and Izzy.
“Hey hey Corey what about us!!” Jamez said.
“What about you, kid.” Izzy said.
“Shut up fatass!” Jamez said.
“Jamez!” Corey said. “You DARE disrespect a Shido Squad member??”
“He's fat and I don't like him.” Jamez said.
Nick backed up a little to separate himself from Jamez.
“Hey hey.” Sunny said. “Let's just chill out here.”
“Izzy leave the rookie alone.” Shido said.
“Okay, but I don't like him.” Izzy said.
Izzy pointed at Jamez and gave him a mean stare.
Corey walked over.
“Boys, if you want something to do, then deliver this to Aj in the USPR Operation Core. Alright?” Corey said.
Corey handed Jamez a package. MEMBRANE PARTS was written on the side of it in big black letters.
“I can do that, Corey!” Jamez said.
“Maybe one day you kids will get the big dog missions.” Izzy said.
“Well actually Izzy, these kids just brought down Hyper from Venus.” Corey said.
“The Hyper?” Shido said.
“The very same.” Corey said.
“Cool.” Sunny said.
“Doesn't mean they're better than us.” Izzy said. “Now go deliver your package noobs.”
Corey walked away with Shido's squad.
“And our adventure begins!” Jamez said. “To deliver this mysterious package!”
“You mean the MEMBRANE PARTS?” Nick said.
Jamez looked on the side of the box.
“God dammit.” Jamez said. “Well, we'll make it fun anyways!”
“How.” Nick said.
“I don't know you fucking downer.” Jamez said. “Let's just deliver this bitch.”
Nick and Jamez walked through the Mothership. It was a bit of an exploration for the two rookies. The Mothership was very large. It could have been a planet itself.
It stretch far a wide and had about 10 different cores. There were elevators and walls everywhere. The plain white and grey walls bored Nick though.
After about 20 minutes, they reached the USPR Operation Core.
“Now how do we find Aj?” Jamez said.
“I'll ask around.” Nick said.
Nick saw a very tall and slim man and approached him.
“Excuse me sir, do you know Aj?” Nick said.
“Know him?” The man said. “I am him! You don't know me? I'm the best scientist on this ship for God's sake!”
“Sorry...sorry.” Nick said.
“You better be sorry, sprout.” Aj said. “My robots guard your ass 24/7! Now what do you want?”
“We have a package for you, dickweed.” Jamez said.
“I will not accept these insults!” Aj said. “Dan, get over here to carry my package!”
A shorter younger fellow came over. He was wearing a button shirt and wearing glasses.
Dan took the package from Jamez.
“Thank you sir.” Dan said. “I'll put this with the other storage.”
Dan walked into a nearby room with the package.
“Now, begone with you peasants. I have important work to do.” Aj said, brushing Jamez and Nick away.
“Well God damn.” Jamez said.
Nick and Jamez took the elevator out of the core. They went back to their rooms and collapsed on their bunk beds. They were going to have a big day tomorrow.
