Cyberdemon 2100
welcome to Assiah, Earth colony 3, 2100 years after first settlement, but as per usual, humans came and fucked everything up. This small planet only about half the size of earth has a massive population of over 21 billion individuals all living in high tech low class cities with the rich upper class people and governing bodies such as the Grigori taking residence on planets such as Asgard and Vatican b5.
Gehanna, a low orbiting habitable satellite planet circling Assiah. Used for industry and inhabited by nothing but worker bots and roumour goes that there are facilities that experiment on artificial life.
Pollution and planetary decay were all that followed, leaving collasal super cities covering the entire planet. Overpopulated slums full of drugs, crime, sex and violence.
The worst crime on this planet, punishable by imprisonment on Leto (the Grigori's prison) is not theft or even murder. It's the creation of artificial intelligence, an invention that cannot be controlled by normal means.The law states that all A.I. must be eradicated upon discovery, failure to comply will result in severe penalty
Rin...Rin...Hey Rin...
Rin shot up and looked around, there was no one there, it was just a dream. He got up and rubbed his face before staring out the nearby Window to be greeted by the usual view of neon light and darkness, the one major flaw of this planet is that it's energy is internal rather than external, meaning no sun, permanent darkness and isolated feeling, not that he knew what a sun looked like, he knew nothing other than this
He sighed deeply, the scent of oil and burning filled his nostrils.
He smiled, today was a good day
"good morning kuro"
his computer whirred to life, lights flashing and fans spinning, attempting to cool the monstrous machine
"Rin! you're awake! yay!" the giddy A.I. exclaimed happily
"how long was I out?" he pulled a chair over to the desk in his tiny apartment/room
"about 3 hours" kuro said cheerfully
"that's decent" Rin sat
K.U.R.O, Kinesthetic, universal, robotics, operator.
An A.I. invented by Rin for influencing Robotic operations throughout True cross city. And sure, creation of A.I. was highly illegal, but rin didn't really care, it wasn't like anyone was going to find him anyway, the chances of finding one person in twenty one billion is, 4.7e-16%, that's 0.000000000000000047%, by Rins calculations, he liked those odds.
He reached down and pulled an energy drink from the cupboard in front of the tank of liquid nitrogen he used to cool kuro, he couldn't afford a fridge with all the equipment he was running.
"give me an update kuro, what's happened in the last three hours?" he sighed and opened the can
"90,000 births and 37,900 deaths, And in the news a new purer strain of Fyzz has been circulating" kuro said happily
"drugs don't interest me, any more attacks by those exorcist guys?"
"not since yesterday" Kuro chirped
Rin exhaled and nodded "I'm going for a drink" he grabbed his earpiece and put it on before grabbing his blue jacket before reaching for the door handle. Just as he reached for it he looked over at his wardrobe, he looked down and walked over to it, opening the door he reached in and pulled out his energy blade...just for protection, this place could be rough.
Upon exiting his building the first thing Rin was greeted with was litter and the sound of sirens, things all too familiar to him.
And the rain, oh god the constant rain
He pulled his hood up and began walking with his head down, best not to attract any attention.
"any updates kuro?" he mumbled
"another bombing in the 5th sector" Kuro replied
Rin sighed, "damn those exorcists, what's the point..."
Rin walked into the club, heavy techno rang through his ears as naked women danced on poles and walked around serving drinks to off duty guards and shady looking individuals.
circus was a basically a strip club, but the drink was cheap and he could usually find an empty booth to himself
He sat in an unoccupied booth towards the back of the large host club. Rin tapped the earpiece bringing up the holographic display over his right eye, scanning through strings of data with kuros help looking for anything significant.
"What do you want idiot?" he glanced over to see his old friend Izumo standing half naked holding a tray. But it wasn't like he hadn't seen her naked before.
"wow, so friendly Izumo, you're a real charmer" he said with a grin
"just order a drink or fuck off Okumura" she snapped
"just get me some of that blue stuff that glows and doesn't taste like shit" he responded before going back to data scanning.
"prick" she muttered
"just because I stopped sleeping with you doesn't make me a prick" he shot back plainly
he continued searching the cities mainframe for anything notable.
Rin sipped his drink slowly as kuro perked up "security camera showing someone walking toward you"
Rin sat back and looked up as a familiar person came over and sat across from him.
"hello brother" he smiled
"for the last time Asteroth, we're not brothers" Rin downed the last of his drink
"we grew up in the same orphanage, that has to mean something" said the muscled criminal
"what do you want this time" Rin sighed
"My boss wants to see you" Asteroth grinned
"and what twisted asshat are you working for now?" Rin lifted his empty glass to Izumo, implying he wanted another drink, she abruptly flipped him off
"Satan"
Rin stopped "the head of blue corp?" he asked confused, blue corp was responsible for practically all the robotics on the colony, from policing drones to transport units and undoubtedly the most corrupt industry ever, they had their hands in everyone's pockets including all governing bodies and police forces, caused most of the planets pollution and owned most of the facilities on Gehanna, their CEO Satan was rumoured to be one evil son of a bitch.
"what does he want with me?" he asked as Izumo brought him another drink as she gave a fake smile to Asteroth
Asteroth smirked "just come with us Rin"
"us?"
That's when Rin realised, the room was still, the flashing lights and blaring music continued but as he turned he saw that all the occupants of the bar had stood and pulled out guns, holding the strippers and waitress hostage, all eyes were on him and Asteroth.
Rin gulped "what is this?"
Asteroth stood up and took Rins drink, raising it slightly "Dad can't have a loose cannon"
And as Asteroth raised the glass to his lips Rin felt a burst of energy, everything slowed down and before he knew what was happening he had jumped over he table and kicked the glass into Asteroths face shattering the glass..and Asteroths jaw.
He slid off the table and swiped the feet out from under a man holding a gun to a waitresses head before pulling out his energy blade and cutting the arm off another, a rough looking man holding a switch ran over and attempted to swipe at him but Rin blocked and roundhouse kicked the guy, sending him through an ornate glass waterfall.
a gun was pushed to the back of his head and before the trigger he was pulled he kicked off the table on front of him, flipping over his assailant and grabbing his head Rin brought it roughly to his raised knee, breaking the gunman's skull.
Rin picked up the gun and proceeded to turn and drive his fist into another man's side, winding him before shooting him in the head, Rin shot two other men and hopped over the bar for cover.
he knew where the three remaining gunmen were. he sideflipped back over the bar and threw a bottle at one and sent two bullets in anothers direction then proceeded to swing his energy blade, incapacitating the last shooter.
Asteroth stood up and looked at the dead bodies around him and the man on the floor bleeding out from his severed arm.
"Fuck!" he pulled out an energy pistol and fired at Rin
Rin saw the bullets coming and time slowed even further
a wave of blue energy rolled off Rin and Asteroth fell to the ground in a singed and smoking heap.
"I never even liked anyway" said Rin coldly
Izumo stood up from behind an overturned table
"Rin...what the fuck was that!" she looked around in fear
Rin looked around "I...I..don't know..I just..did it" he turned to face her and in the mirror behind her he saw his eyes glowing electric blue with red dots almost like a camera coming out of his iris, he blinked and it vanished.
Rin quickly composed himself "kuro give me every detail" he threw his jacket to Izumo "c'mon before the guard gets here" he put his hand out
she put the Hoodie on immidiately and grabbed his and before they ran out the door and down the dark city street.
"your adrenaline rate is nearly 3 times that of average, your heart rate is surprisingly steady and your brain function is experiencing five times the normal activity" kuro said worriedly
Rin shook his head trying to shake off the feeling
"and you released some sort of dark matter energy in a wave, like a singularity relay" said kuro
"like the space travel engines?" Rin asked confused
"exactly" said kuro, sounding incredibly worried
Rin stopped in an alley and leaned against the wall "I killed those guys..."
Izumo looked afraid "Just tell me what the FUCK is going on Okumura!"
Rin looked up "I don't know, I just...I just acted, it's like someone else took over"
She rubbed the back of her head "I need a fucking cigarette"
Rin nodded
kuro spoke up " planetary guard is getting pretty close Rin"
"agh shit, we need to go" he stood up
"who are you even talking to?" she walked beside him
he looked around nervously "just kuro"
"the fuck is kuro?" she shivered slightly, she was wearing nothing but a hoodie and some cheap underwear
Rin wrapped his arm around her instinctively " remember I said I was working on a virtual intelligence.."
she pushed against him for warmth "yeah?"
"well I said fuck it and made an AI" he looked around the corner and stood back as a guard member passed
"you what!" she whisper shouted
"it's not that bad" after they passed he kept walking
she sighed "you really are an idiot"
Rin went up to his building "come on eyebrows"
she slapped his arm "don't call me that"
He opened his door and walked in with Izumo in tow. "kuro" the computers turned on and a cats face appeard on screen
"look for all my records kuro" him said hurriedly before realising his shirt had blood on it.
he took his shirt off and grabbed another
"you still have any of my stuff here?" asked a shaking Izumo, weather it was from fear, cold or both rin didn't really know
he nodded and pointed to a box marked 'eyebrows' at the top of his wardrobe
she glanced up then glared at Rin before her eyes widened
"you've been shot!" she exclaimed
he looked down and saw a small bullet hole in his abdomen
"oh.." he sat on the bed and wondered why it didn't hurt
that's when kuro interrupted
"uhmm...Rin"
"yeah... kuro?" Rin felt dizzy
"I had to do some digging, there's not much on you before the age of 6, but I found you're genitic code stored away in a data vault belonging to blue corp...on Gehanna"
Rin scrunched his brow " what's it say"
kuro played the audio file
"number: S 616A
age: 3 cycles
genitic coding: xy 0144265
gene donor: Project leader 1
blood type: o-
status: success
report: S616A displays significantly higher readings than his paternal twin S616B. Gene doner is project leader 1 Satan and has resulted in a total of 10 artificial offspring including S616 A and B. Input of matter manipulation servos into the CNS has resulted in hightened dark matter manipulation and reflex ability, cybernetic implants such as the artificial joints, pulnumanic heart and technoscopic eyes have made S616A the first successful Artificial soilder
report 2: S616A and B are displaying signs of full intelligence, this may be due to the additional donor cells of one Yuri Eigin being added to create genetic diversity for future cloning we may have to disable the S project if this continues
Report 3: subject S333A has released all S projects and hidden them on Assiah, I expect this to be my last report, Satan will not be pleased... goodbye"
Rin sat in silence
Izumo looked over sadly "Rin..."
the rain belted against the window as the neon light flooded in and the sounds of sirens and society drifted through the air, the smell of cigarettes and engine oil, grease and alcohol...everything felt surreal
Rin looked at his hand "artificial or Satan's son...I'm not sure what's worse" he looked at Izumo before smiling sadly
the last thing he remembered was falling unconscious.
