章 2: Chapter 2: Resurrection?
In a pitch black space of nothingness, a lone boy floated aimlessly, without purpose and soon without his sanity.
The boy had been in this space for an unknown amount of time leading him to slowly hallucinate and mumble to himself in brief outbreaks of insanity.
"Man who would have thought the afterlife could be so boring! I have to say that it was falsely advertised for what I was getting after death."
Ben continually wandered the void hoping for some kind of escape from his metaphysical body. The voices of his friends Michael and Jose echoed out into the void. Mirages of his sister and mother seem to fade into and out of existence, their facial features slowly disappearing with each given turn, making Ben more and more depressed.
He then slapped himself, hard, waking him from the illusions he brought himself into. "Happy thoughts! Happy thoughts! Don't think bullshit, the second you think bullshit is the second you lose!" He constantly shouted at himself to rouse happier memories.
"Knowing mom she would try to guarantee Bells survival now that I am dead. she only has her left…"
Before he fell back into depression, the void seemed to….glow….and multiple colors appeared, blurring like an oil painting before surrounding him…encasing him and taking him away.
….
"Jimmy! I need help over here!"
The man shouted across the room in the middle of a firefight when a passing rocket exploded the concrete pillar he was hiding behind, launching him against a wall, unconscious.
"Tommy, shit! Bobby, I need help over here." A blond hair man screamed as he held off against the onslaught of a katana wielding maniac. "Hehehehe, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, sooooo~ much FUN! Let's do this forever!"
The blond hair man seemed to panic even more at the psychos words and her increasing power.
"I'm coming Jimmy!" A ginger haired man rushed over from the hallway and pulled out his pump action spraying the maniac with incendiary pellets burning her. What was left was a charred corpse and ruined cyberware. Bobby continued to cover Jimmy as he kept the other hostiles down, Jimmy ran out of the room into the hall and pulled out a WOTF inhaler.
The man spasmed as veins started revealing themselves all over his body and when he opened his eyes what was in them was nothing but madness!
"Bobby move out of the way! Time to fuck 'em up the old fashioned way!" Jimmy's arms bloated as his knuckles protruded metal spikes. He rushed into the open crossing his arms in front of his head and chest and plowed through anything in his way. When he got to the first person his fist shot out and the target's body exploded under the force of his fist.
Bobby vaulted over the crates and showered the pair that hid behind. The duo searched the floor, scouring for any remnants left of the gang. The only one left was a skinny malnourished man stuck to a chair in front of a massive computer. Then a man staggered out into the room, disorientated from the unconsciousness he came out of.
"Tommy, you good mate'?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah I'm good, just a little dizzy.... is this the target?"
"Yeah, it looks like it's in the room. Oi, you little shit, tell us where we can find the ST-00 chip." Jimmy was still hooked on the after effects of the drug but his aggressiveness was loosening as time went on.
"T-t-th-th-the chip is in the computer scanner! We were doing a diagnostic scan for the program on it!" The coward quickly relinquished everything he and his gang were tasked with as if it was second nature.
Before anyone could say anything Tommy interjected. "Did you discover anything? Like something that stood out from the rest of it?"
"No...Though I did discover an odd piece of source code...It seemed like a message of some sort or more aptly a command...." The man seemed doubtful but still suspected something was up.
Jimmy shot a look at Tommy, reprimanding him.
"Tommy, we weren't supposed to ask any questions! Now we know something and that could get us killed, you dumbass!" Jimmy was especially distraught knowing that any information on this object or about this object was better not known or they would be lying in a ditch with their corpses being looted by scavengers by tomorrow.
"Jimmy, don't you want to be on a higher stage? Isn't our dream to become 'enigmas'?! You won't get to that point without specialized tech and most importantly courage." Tommy seemed emotional explaining all of this like he felt betrayed by Jimmy.
"Tommy... courage? Really? Do you think this is courage?! This is an act of stupidity, foolishness even! We are going to be erased if we go any farther."
Bobby ignored the duo and glanced at the code brought up by the weasel.
[resurrection sequence parameters]
"Resurrection? What the hell? Oi weasel, what is this [resurrection sequence]?" Bobby asked.
The weasel, busy with acting as inconspicuous as possible, was startled by Bobby's question, but still glanced at what he was asking about. "Oh! This thing is an action that only goes into effect if the chip is plugged in you see, it says so in the parameters."
"I'm not asking about the parameters fucktard I'm asking about what the hell 'resurrection sequence' means."
"I... don't know? It just says those words, we never tried plugging ST-00 into anything since the parameters state that it has to be a mobile system."
The rats answer hooked Tommy, who was arguing with Jimmy. "Mobile system? What do you mean by mobile system? Like a cybernetics' system?"
The rat turned to Tommy quickly, panicking. "I don't rightly know.... I am guessing that the definition can be broad but is still restricted to humans and robots... Especially bipedal bots...."
"Why bipedal?" Tommy delved deeper in intrigue. He could smell something big, something that could elevate his position in the world.
"Don't know just a feeling..." The rat seemed unsettled by Tommy's growing curiosity.
"Let's test it then and plug it in... you got any Satoshi units around?"
"No just an old Viktor unit from the 2040s. Although it should work just as well....if my theory is right." The rat mumbled, scared that he outlived his usefulness.
"Tommy!" Jimmy tried but alas...
"No! Jimmy we're already this far might as well go all the way! Oi rat, plug it in."
The rat turned to his computer, typing in a few things, ejecting the ST-00 chip, and erasing any backup data on the computer. Then he got up and led the trio to the old Viktor unit in another room at gunpoint. What appeared was a dusty dull gray retro Ilya attack automatron, it was similar to a human body except it only had a blue eye as its head.
Bobby looked skeptical. "Will this piece of junk even turn on?"
The rat hurriedly cleared any doubts. "Of course! I turned it on just yesterday and it worked just fine!"
"Alright enough! Plug in the chip. Let's see what this [resurrection sequence] is." Tommy excitedly watched on as the weasel inserted the chip and turned on the Ilya bot.
VRMMM
The loud electronics and fans echoed throughout the room as the bot's blue eye slowly turned red.
….
Ben woke up in a dusty room with four figures in front of him. The situation was....odd to say the least. He thought he was dead, that he was never coming back, at least that's what usually happens.
"Where am I..." Ben found his voice odd and now that he was starting to get his bearings, he found that couldn't smell, taste, and feel. He looked down at his 'body' and found the truth unsettling....
Then a white haired man spoke up to him. "Ilya bot run program command [resurrection sequence]!" The man seemed excited for some reason.
"[Resurrection sequence]? What the hell do you-" Ben couldn't understand what Tommy wanted. Causing Tommy to get angry.
"Oi you hunk of junk, run [resurrection sequence] now!" Tommy got up in Ben's face, aggravating him.
"I don't know what you're talking about, you piece of shit!" Ben pushed him away, only his 'push' launched Tommy through the wall on the other end. Startled, Jimmy popped another inhaler and Bobby cranked out his pump and started to attack Ben as the rat scampered out of the room in a hurry to get away from the chaos.
The shotgun shells had no effect on Ben's exoskeleton but Jimmy's fist on the other hand staggered Ben.
Jimmy paled as his fist, that usually tore through his opponents, couldn't even dent Ben. "Fuck! Tommy you god damned fool!" Then he turned to Bobby, questioning him.
"Bobby, how much built up charge do you currently have on hand?"
"Twenty three megawatts. Why? You know that's not enough to get a shot off, I need at least twenty five." Jimmy then turned to the computer room, "If you could hook up to the grid through the local net, how many watts could you get?"
"Uhm...shit let me think...uhhhh.... If I sap everything on the grid I could get like thirty megawatts, but if I do that, England's Net Defense Force will be on our asses!" Tommy then came out from the wall and tried to get updated on the situation.
"Jimmy, Bobby what happened while I was thrown away." Jimmy glared at Tommy.
"You fuckwit, because of you we're forced to contend with a heavy duty Ilya unit and not just that but also its newly acquired sentience. Do you see why I never dug into Miss Ann's matters now, huh?!"
"How was I supposed to know that it would gain sentience huh?"
"Just shut the fuck up and help me! This bots strength is on another level!" Jimmy was still holding off Ben's onslaught.
Ben wasn't even conscious during this as the aggression shown by Tommy triggered the ST-00s defense protocol. Ben's new body caused gust of wind to appear every time he swung his fist at Jimmy, and if Jimmy gets hit even once, he will die.
Tommy came to hold off Ben while Bobby went back to the computer room and hacked into the electrical grid, funneling all of the electricity into the wiring, absorbing as quickly as it came in, quickly getting up to a whopping fifty three megawatts!
Bobby then funneled the excess electricity into the various homes and complexes to cover any tracks for a few minutes, then he rushed back into the room to face off against Ben.
When he got back, Jimmy was still fighting even though he only had one arm! Ben seemed to have ripped it off and started beating Jimmy with it. Tommy on the other hand was split, literally. Tommy's bottom half lay across the floor with sparks and blood spewing out and his top half was melded into the wall.
"Jimmy! I am ready!" Jimmy heard him and nodded, then he punched Ben in the side of the knee, causing Ben to kneel down. After that, Jimmy punched Ben in the chest causing Ben to fly to the other side of the room!
"Now! Bobby kill it!" Jimmy shouted desperately as he ran out of the room to get out of the blast radius.
"Ok!" Jimmy's right arm then split in half releasing a silver barrel that was thirty five centimeters long that extended to two feet! The barrel started to heat up as the energy was siphoned into the cyberware causing the barrel to glow. While this was going on Ben got up and started running towards Bobby making Bobby panic a bit.
Once the railgun was fully overcharged, Bobby shot it at Ben causing a huge shockwave from the recoil that shot Bobby back right into a wall since he wasn't given enough time to set anchors for himself.
Ben on the other had made contact with the 90 millimeter bullet. The bullet was off a little, centered onto the right side of his body causing the only significant damage from the bullet to be the arm. The force from the bullet tossed him around like a ragdoll, scrambling him.
The bullet on the other hand continued on its journey flying through the concrete wall going wherever it wanted to go.
Jimmy poked his head in after the shockwaves from the shot ended... What was left was Bobby with a glowing orange arm, and Ben, who was having trouble getting on his feet due to missing the right side of his body.
Using this chance, Jimmy rushed at Ben to finish him off, but before he could, he fell down spasming as he felt the cyberware in his body shutdown one piece at a time. Realizing what was happening he looked up at the entryway to find the weasel with his glowing optics smirking at him as he shot Bobby who was still down from the overheating of his railgun.
Now the only ones left were Jimmy, Ben, and the scheming bastard.
