From the hunger
From the pain
From the responsibility
From the war.
This, is what describes what went through thier minds as they ran from thier homes that night. What nobody told them was, a secret branch of the government had been awaiting them, by planting false images in these kids/teens heads, they were able to force them to run, right into thier grasps.What they did with them was terrible, locking them up in a secluded city, taking them one by one from that city and testing on them, untill they got good results. Many died in the expiramenting, making them have to find new test subjects. The succesful test subjects were mutations, people with enhanced abbilities, animilistic traits, anything the scientist could enhance was made twenty times better, each person was able to see perfectly in the dark, hear a sound from miles away, even run four hours on end.
They were given the name Mutts, not by the government scientist, but by the group of people living in the abandoned subway stations of Runner City. The Refugees that have seen what truly happens when you become a Mutt, and know the truth behind what the Government is trying to do. They were called Runners, and thats what they were, most of them humans that knew what happened when you became a Mutt, others were failed Mutts, that were supposed to be exacuted. Whatever the reason, they were all there, all of them one messed up family. They thought the Mutts and scientist were oblivious to them.
If only that were the truth.
They were pawns in a game of chess, just being used by the scientist. A double agent, a Mutt girl with the abbility to act and look as human as possible was sent underground into the tunnels, to drag the Runners out of the tunnels one by one. So that the Scientist could "fix" them. As the days passed, the hundreds of refugees dwindled to three hundred, and finnaly to two hundred.
Lucky them.
A glitch. An error. Luck. Whatever you want to call it, the Mutt had suddenly died, no apparent reason, unless you looked at her back, where her linking system was, someone knew. Someone had found out about her. But now the Mutts and scientists are taking matters into thier own hands, making plans to take all the mutts, and finish the war that they had started, in the process, also killing the refugees, by leaving behind Mutts, to take care of them when they scurry out of thier holes.
The world ending.
It should have been good for the refugees, who had been underground so long, but still had enough surface connections to know that the mutts had killed everybody, including the scientist. But it wasnt, there was still the matter that Glitching mutts were running around everywhere, dozens and thousands of them. Building thier own cities, ruling the world with artificial kindness. Since the beggining of the war, the refugees had grown in number again, nearly four thousand people lived under Runner city. Now, its time for the Runners to find thier own paradise, out of the tunnels and over the mountains, an untouched valley, where they could live peacefully without the Mutts noticing, only, to get there would be suicide, and not everybody wants to go follow those insane and suicidal Runners who are trying to reach that paradise.
Runner City: The capitol of the new Mutt infested nation, Runner city, wich had been thier original home, was now a place where the ruling mutation, a man who had been in his forties, names Arnold Burns, controls the Nation. Runner city was a no-violence place, the police enforce curfews for the younger citizenz and teens, an any violence results in "termination" of the Mutations involved. Runner city is very large, with many buildings, the tallest building withen Runner city is the REC also known as the Robotic enhancment Corperation, where people go to make new enhancements to thier artificial bodies, or to fix any glitches in thier linking systems.
The subway tunnels: A dirty rat infested place where the Runners live, the leader being a man called James, he had created the Runners after his girlfriend, who had first proposed the refugee idea was captured and turned into a Mutt. Now the Refugees live in fear in these unused subway systems, plotting a way to get to the valley.
Mutts/mutations: Robots of a sorts, thier bodies are artificial, though they look the same as they did when they were truly alive, thier real bodies lay deep withen a lab somwhere, hidden by the government so nobody found them. Mutts have extremley long lives, and can still reproduce, only in a very different way. Always located somwhere on thier bodies are a linking system, where they can hook up any electronical device and use it, they can also link to other mutts, like wi fi. Glitches are very common, but can be fixed at the REC.

"God damn it"
Cursed Reese as she saw he shapes of hundreds of Mutts swarming around the back entrance of the subway station. She was assigned to retrieve food from one of the stalls there, but with all the Mutts around it would be impossible. If thier leader was seriously stupid enough to send her out in the midle of the day, unprotected except for her guns, then he was eriously trying to get her killed. Quick. There was her chance. Running as fast as her legs would take her she ended up in the shadow of a tall building. If she ran fast enough she could get to the stall, back to the building, and into the subways system again.
"3......2......1"
She took off, her speed quit fast for a meer human, she grabbed a crate from the stall, laughing slightly as she heard the Mutt protest, she ran to the building, hid in the shadow for just a moment before dashing bck off into the subways. Chaining the door after her and smiling in triumph.
"and she returns!"
Reese shouted at the other refugees. There werent many, and alot of them were either too old or too young to be able to fight properly. It was her and a few others jobs to look after them. To her dissapointment when she pied the lid of the crate there was only bread, and uncooked hot dogs. Of course, she had to get the stall that was selling ho dogs. She shrugged, and distributed the bread evenly among the survivors. Looks like she wasnt going to eat tonight.
"Hey Lance, get a fire goin will ya"
She shouted to one of the many refugees was also an escaped Mutt.

Bleep
Lance launched himself out of the gate, the wind slamming it shut behind him, he drop-kicked a Mutt in the gut, whacking the one next to in in the face with a steel pipe, Lance jumped onto another's shoulders and pushed it into the ground, Lance then pulled out his blaster, shooting quite a few in the head, before pulling out his other blaster. He rolled a few meters, and launched himself into the midst of the group, before sending a shockwave of pure raw energy, suddenly exterminating the surrounding Mutts. Lance walked back to the shelter, and locked the gate when he was inside. He sat down gain, by the fire, and return to his silent-ness.
