Jumpers
Jumpers
A mercenary group that's well known for one thing: mercenary work in other or fictional worlds, most of the time this organization is focused in the anime branch. That doesn't mean that they don't branch to others though. Time to time they would also "jump" to video games, cartoons and even the occasional realistic drama. Their facility in unknown to anyone and only the employees in this company are the ones that know of its whereabouts.
Like a mercenary group, jumpers can also be hired with money. The difference between them though is the amount of money you pay them. For instance, you want to protect a character but you only have so much in you pocket, Jumpers would barely even lift a finger to protect your character and would only intervene from time to time. Pay them with a generous amount on the other hand they would protect this character from anything and would always give it their all.
Jumpers usually come garbed in a simple pure white jumpsuit, while the attire would look unsuspecting it's not the suit you should be looking at but the person itself. Jumpers has this power called the "Core". This "Core" is their weapon, its function is simple, imagine the weapon and it will appear; you want Kratos' blades? Done. Saber's Excalibur? Easy. Any weapon the Jumpers know they can conjure it. Not only that they can also use the Core to give their bodies upgrades, modified bodies from the Spartan 2 program in Halo, to Alex Mercer's Blacklight parasite to Naruto's shadow clones.
That's not to say that the Core has no limits. The only limit that the Core had was "lore". Each and every weapon that Jumpers conjure contain a story, a history, a reason as to why they were made. If a Jumper were to summon the Invective shotgun from Destiny, they would need to know the backstory behind such a weapon, the reason why it was created if they don't then the weapon is next to useless. Of course, the Jumpers could just say the Invective was created to battle the Darkness. While this would make the weapon usable, Jumpers still wouldn't be able to harness its full power.
It's natural for Jumpers to fight with each other, this usually happens when two Jumpers are hired but from different clients with opposing goals. While Jumper fights happen rarely, it has been agreed that to win they only have to beat the enemy Jumper to submission.
One thing's for sure is that Jumpers are people that one should never ever underestimate.
[Jumper 0312, please proceed to briefing room C495 as you have client], the PA system said.
"Well, that's my call!" 0312 said as he stood up from his chair.
"Alright, Good luck out there!" his companion, 8752 said as we waved his arm goodbye and continue eating in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was like almost anything in the facility where Jumpers reside; a huge room capable of housing only a few hundred – due to the fact the most Jumpers usually eat in other worlds and only eat here if they haven't received any clients for a while. It was painted with walls of pure white while other Jumpers walked towards the centre of the cafeteria where there was a wide pillar which works similarly like a vending machine.
0312 walked towards a section of the wall where it gave a small hiss before lines appeared and suddenly a door was visible to his eyes. Walking out of the cafeteria he made his way towards the many hallways that housed all of the briefing rooms. While following the hallway one of the walls suddenly opened up revealing another Jumper.
Said Jumper gave a long and loud yawn, knowing that there would be no one around. Opening her eyes, she locked them with 0312's. She then levelled a glare at him before giving a 'hmph!' and walked towards the cafeteria.
0312 sighed, "Good morning to you too, 0909,"
The now numbered Jumper didn't respond and continued walking without paying him any attention. He could understand though; by a stupid coincidence, 0312 met with her during a mission in [Familiar of Zero], except instead on good terms she was paid to side with the bad guys of the story and it was then sooner or later that she lost to 0312 and his party which consisted of the anime's main cast. That had been three months ago though and she seemed pretty sore about it still.
Forgetting the brief meeting he continued his way down the hall until stopping when he reached the end the hallway split into multiple sections with letters on the walls from A all the way to Z, walking down the third hallway he proceeded to look for his specific briefing room.
"There you are," he said as he entered Briefing Room C495.
Similar to all briefing rooms, it was small with pure white paint all over the walls. In the middle of the room was a white table with a folder alongside a disc. Almost second nature 0312 walked towards the table, grabbed the folder and opened it to read its contents.
0312, you have been hired by a client who likes his/her name to remain anonymous.
The statement of this anonymous individual is on the disc in front of you. Please listen to it before proceeding.
He dropped the folder and took the disc. The disc gave a small hum before projecting a holographic horizontal line which expanded whenever there was a sound that entered the mic.
System: Please state your purpose, why do you want to hire a Jumper?
Anonymous: It's simple really, I want the individual, Pyrrha Nikos to live.
System: Checking character information… Pyrrha Nikos, a fictional character in the anime series "RWBY", she was a candidate for the Fall Maiden, the Invincible Girl and has feelings for Jaune Arc. Canonically she is deceased.
Anonymous: Yep that's her alright… oh and I want Adam Taurus to be on the good side.
System: Checking character information… Adam Taurus, a fictional character in the anime series "RWBY", leader of the White Fang branch stationed in Vale, responsible for the train robbery, has feelings for Blake Belladonna. Alert, bringing Adam Taurus to the 'good side' would affect the canon story.
Anonymous: I know, but the way I see it Adam was only hired by the bad guys for the main reason of muscle, the White Fang robbed Dust and assisted Roman Torchwick in major theft, bringing them to good side would make Roman's thefts slower but it won't affect it majorly in canon. Instead of White Fang it will be Roman's goons that are helping him. Besides, with him on the good side he would get the equality he so wished for a long time.
System: Reasoning accepted. Thank you, a Jumper will be sent to the world of "RWBY" as soon as possible.
0312 gave an exasperated sigh, another 'save the dead character' mission. He's been getting plenty of those recently. While he did watch the show and while he also didn't agree to the fact that Pyrrha Nikos had died that's not to say it was without reason. Canonically it helped Jaune's character move forward, let the boy learned that there are just somethings that cannot be controlled.
Well, that's all going to change now that he's joining the world of bloody revolution.
Retaking the folder, he opened it and read its contents, a picture of Pyrrha Nikos on the top corner and her personal information is pasted on the bottom, skipping to that part he skimmed across multiple parts and checking the main reason he's being hired.
Mission:
- Prevent Pyrrha Nikos' death
- Hire Adam Taurus
Jumper No.: 0312
Amount to be paid: 150,000,000$
"That's a lot of muns," 0312 said to himself.
He closed the folder and took a few deep breaths and walked towards the platform that emerged from the ground. Entering it the platform gave a low hum that slowly increased its pitch. When the humming reached its peak a text box appeared in front of 0312.
[You are about to jump to the world: RWBY]
[Do you wish to proceed?]
[Yes/No]
"Back at it again," 0312 said before thinking of 'Yes'.
The pitch of the humming then increased and a bright glow engulfed the Jumper. When it finally died out 0312 wasn't present anymore.
