Bomber-Man

Chapter 1: The birth of XVIII.
I felt a single quick flash of flight when I was supposedly activated, May 24: 11:22 AM. The year, I was never told. But gathering the info I have seen in my creator and friend Dr. Nell Ein's office, it was around the 1980's. Anyway, before that happened, I was nothing. Just a robotic machine lying on a metallic bed with a towel on top of the bed and with me on top of the towel, but I didn't feel the towel or bed at the time, for I was just a lifeless machine.
In fact, when I was being built, until my body was completed, I didn't remember anything. And after I was fully built, I awoke though I saw black and black only, and felt nothing. Yet, a peculiar thing happened; I heard that Dr. Ein had put in a chip that would give me a pure soul.
And he put it in me about 7 seconds after I was fully built, and I remember at that time, being able to feel myself for the first time. And I could now faintly hear machines turning. And a pair of feet (presumably Dr. Ein's but I'm not sure) walking, this was a peculiar thing.
So, after all of that, where I was getting more alive every second, the flash that I described before happened very quickly and freshly, like a bolt of lightning that was refreshing, though after 12 years of being activated I am sure that Lightning is not refreshing.
Anyway, 6 seconds after that, I then felt a new command for which every human has but I didn't know at the time. I began to see new colors fade in as the sounds of machines were now getting clearer and clearer at the second. I was opening my eyes for the first time, and when I did I saw a pattern 7ft from me.
It was a continuous line of rectangles (I actually knew what a rectangle was, for it was in my knowledge chip), 4ft long, and the pattern I saw was pretty remarkable. Some of the rectangles were whiter than the rest! But these new surroundings weren't ending as I then heard a faint voice. "Can you hear me?" Said the voice, I didn't respond. I couldn't.
But then, I felt a piece of skin being unscrewed (I have some bolts as you might know.) And took off, a feeling of a cold disk getting popped in came next, and then the piece of skin being screwed back on. After that, I felt the urge to speak. "Yes. I can." I said, I don't really remember how I said it, but then again one can only remember so much.
"How are you feeling right now?" the voice asked, "I am not sure." I replied, "I don't blame you," the voice said, "I wouldn't really know what to say either. After all you were just made right now. Tell me now XVIII-" "XVIII?" I rudely interrupted, "That's your name." said the voice, "Oh." I said, "Anyway," continued the voice, "I'm Dr. Ein, the man who made you. And you are XVIII."
Oh yes, I've been babbling about my beginning so much I forgot to mention myself in general.
I'm XVIII, but you may know me as Bomber-Man.
