In the distant future the world became a cyberpunk world. The Anti-Gravity Federation led by Pierre Belmondo auto racing no longer existed. Cars are replaced with flying ships hovering with magnetic levitation technology. The original four racing teams were created they are FEISAR, AG Systems, Auricom and Qirex. The year 2072 the F4000 Anti-Gravity Racing League is the transition of the F3600 to the F5000 Racing League. Pilots are selected by the teams themselves. A woman was walking down the streets in the city. "Willow Smith?" A man walked beside her Jack Thompson. "How do you know me?" She asked. He was sent by Lara Lloyd one of the crewmen of FEISAR.
At the team building Nico Fiser the executive director of FEISAR, tells her that she can take some of her own personal belongings with her. She decided to take most of her clothes. After the 2071 F3600 season ended. While sitting in the room. An AG systems pilot named Jace Byrne approaches her. Jace was a friend of hers and he was flying a Qirex ag ship. He tells her that he is happy she joined the team. "I just want you to know that the Qirex F4000 ship is superior to the FEISAR ship. We are going to do some cool things in this league." "Well, I knew that." She spoke.
An Auricom pilot named Axel King was sitting in the building of Auricom. Chuck Holffman, Auricom's executive director told him that they will be a second pilot to join him. One walked towards him. "Mr. King. There are important things to discuss." Jake Skerrett, one of the second pilots stood there. "Axel, I'm Jake."
As Willow walked around the FEISAR F4000 ag ship. "This is the main view of the ship. From this angle you can see what the ship's cameras are seeing. This view shows what you are seeing right now." Brock Hardy is working on the engines of the ship. The racing committee Carter MacCullough stands there in the AGF main building. He along with Isaac McEwan were discussing the upcoming league build up. They said that the tracks that were raced on the F3600 league will eventually be used again.
The day before the first race as the teams are preparing the ag ships. Former driver Charles Frost was standing there waiting. Willow then arrived at the garage she saw him as he walked towards her. "What are you doing here?" Willow said. "I just want to say good luck out there. From there you can become the champion of the league." "Really. Thanks Charlie." "No problem."
Still thinking she sighed, the lead technician David Bisgaard instantly spoke. "Look I know this your first time completing the ag league." She knew that she had to do it and if so, she would have to win every race in the league. "I know I can't let the other ships win." She walked down towards the garage underneath the racecourse. As she looked at the craft, the ship is like the AGRC and F3600 ships it two engines on the back, the cockpit was at the center of the ship. She sat in the cockpit.
The rest of the pilots are in their seats in the cockpits as well. The ships are lifted from the garage and onto the track. The crowd was cheering from the stands. All eight pilots are lined up and ready to go. The thrusters fired as the countdown reached three, two, one GO. The ships flied on the track, they turned on the corner, they picked up the weapons off the grid. Auricom fired a missile at the Qirex ship as it damaged it. FEISAR continued to lead the pack as the second lap came by. AG Systems is still trying to hold on as one of the ships used turbo. The final lap is on Willow gaining the lead as the ship crossed the finish line. FEISAR came first, other ag ships came at the same time.
As she climbed out of the cockpit, she couldn't believe it that she had won the race of the league. Ressie Keith, one of the pilots of FEISAR spoke. "Willow, you beaten me to it." He spoke. "Great race." Hours after the first race at the hotel near the Altima VII racetrack everyone was celebrating, even Willow herself was standing there. While looking at the window knowing the next race is scheduled in the next week or two. As the sun began to set everyone were packed up and went home. Many went to the airliners as others went to their hovercars as well.
Two weeks have come and gone by, and Willow has been running alone. The next track has recently been announced and the teams have got time to prepare for the next race of the championship. "Willow. Wait up." She saw another woman Lexi Martin who is also practiced running as well. "What brings you here Lexi?" "Anyway. I heard that you won the race." Lexi said. She laughed. "I know. But I have to finish preparing." Willow said. As Willow and Lexi have finished running. They then went to the restaurant and ordered food. Once they ate, they headed towards the garages.
While climbing on the ship Lexi watched on. "Are you sure that you're piloting on this ship?" but Willow already has her headset on. The rest of the racers are already in their cockpits on the ships as well. The ships are lined up on the racetrack.
The engines are already fired as the countdown hits go. All three laps have passed and this time. Auricom finished first FEISAR came in second. The rest of the ships went through the finish line as well. As the pilots have gotten out of the seats Willow then went to the city which is the hometown.
In the cyberpunk futuristic city of Cyberion that was once known as Los Angeles she knew that it had changed in the past forty years. Ships flied around the city. It was indeed a sight. Buildings as far as the eye can see. While walking on the sidewalk she instantly went into a bar known as The Grind, it was filled with many people inside. Music was played in the background. "Willow!" She turned around and saw Kenny Nelson sitting on one of the tables.
"Ken. What brings you here?" Willow said. Police sirens were heard in the distance. "Oh. Anyway, how's the league so far?" She managed to finish only to be beaten by another ag ship at the last seconds. The next race isn't going to be announced till the week after next. They have given her and the rest of the pilots another week off. Decided to do a time attack run on the racetrack she climbed onto the cockpit of the FEISAR ship. The engines started as the ship went to the starting line. Still set at vector speed classification.
"Let's do this." Willow said. Three laps have gone by, and she has set a new record. Other pilots have set their times as well.
The next race was in her hometown, and it was set in Venom speed class. All eight ships are at the starting line and the pilots are getting ready as they are in their cockpits in each ag ship. Cyberion welcomes the F4000 racing league bystanders rushed to the seats and into the building as fast as they possibly can. The engines have started.
The lights are still in red the screen at the starting line turns yellow and then turning green as the ships zipped off, they went to the first section of the racetrack one of the pilots used the joysticks and turned right and Qirex fired a missile at AG Systems. Two laps are down, and the other pilots are catching up to one another FEISAR turbos on forward. The final lap of the second race is on the stretch.
FEISAR and Auricom are neck and neck behind thew other ships are giving their all. Both ships were finished at the same time, however FEISAR went in seconds early Willow climbed out of the cockpit of the ship gaining another first place at home.
Hours after the second race she dashed through the streets a man was standing searching for her as well. "You must be Willow right." He spoke. "Scott Lane." He continued. "Anyway, I'm have been following you since you left to join the league. And I was wondering."
He sighed. "Maybe we could go on a weeklong vacation." "I'll think about it Scott." She spoke.
She and others knew that the next race was going to be announced the following day. They have already given time to rest. As she continued walking down the sidewalk. Within weeks into the season the F4000 is likely a transitional success and will be a setup to the F5000 league.
This is an attempt of a WipEout movie fanfic I had for several months now since Omega Collection was released. It is also set after the F3600 AG Racing League.
Until next time later pilots.
