Chapter 2
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, please don't kill, I'm sorry, don't kill me", were the first words out of Naruto's mouth when he heard the "ghost" finish speaking. He was beyond afraid, he had heard stories of how spirits would come and take people soul to Hell. Unknown to him, these stories were always said in his presence to frighten him, not because they were true.
"Why would I kill you Master Uzumaki?" was the response giving by the apparition. Upon hearing this Naruto stopped screaming and looked cautiously at the figure. He said, "Aren't you a ghost-y, come to take me to Hell?"
Her response was, "I am not a ghost. My name is EVE and I am the AI for this facility. Upon my awakening I am to report to the EIC, as you are the only living person with access to this laboratory the system lists you as the Boss." After explaining herself to her new master, she waited for instructions.
Naruto, while smart for his age, had no clue what half the things EVE said meant. But he sure did understand one thing, HE WAS THE BOSS! He didn't know what he was the boss of, but that didn't matter to him. He had something that was his and he wasn't about to let it be taken away.
"So, ummm, EVE right? What the Heck is an AI, or an EIC?" asked Naruto.
"AI means "Artificial Intelligence", it is basically a computer/computer program that is capable of thinking for itself. As for an EIC, that is the "Employee-In-Charge", Stated EVE.
"But I don't work here, I don't even know what HERE is", remarked a thoroughly confused blonde.
Naruto was more confused now than he had ever been. Here was this ghost-y, umm AI, telling him that he was in charge of some place that looked like it hadn't seen the light of day in YEARS, not only that but he was supposed to work there. "I must be dreaming, that's right, maybe it's from something I ate", he thought aloud.
"You are not dreaming Master Uzumaki, if you would follow me I will explain what is going on." Was the response to his musing by EVE.
Having nothing better to do, Naruto gathered his belongings and followed EVE through the partially hidden door. Going down several hallways they came upon a semi-reflective door, after a few seconds standing there the doors opened to show a small room that could hold maybe 10 people if they stood very close together. "This is an elevator, it is used to transport cargo to places quickly. This one only goes up and down; there are some here that go left and right as well. This will take us down to the actually facility, once there I will begin explaining."
He stepped into the elevator and began his descent. After several minutes the elevator stopped with a "DING" then the doors opened. Exiting the elevator he looked around this new area, it was fairly large about fifteen feet tall, fifty feet wide, and twenty five feet long. It was completely metal with several dark glass "windows" all around the room. Directly in front of the elevator was a larger desk with items on it he had never seen before.
After his quick visual inspection of the room EVE spoke up, "This is the main entrance for the facility; everyone must come in through this way to get in. Normally there would be several guards here to ensure nothing goes wrong. The monitors on the wall show the area we just came from, that is the only are visitors are allowed in, only employees may come down here."
EVE then took Naruto on a tour of the facility, and explained what was done there. She told him of how the scientists were doing research on ways to "improve" the human body, to make them faster, stronger, smarter, and more deadly. They searched for anyway they could to improve humans, until one day they thought they had found it. "It" was a type of virus that was capable of "reprogramming" certain parts of the brain that told the body how to function. They tested the virus on five individuals, only two of which survived. One became stronger, faster, and harder to damage. The other, he became a monster. The scientists belatedly realized that the virus itself had to be "programmed", you had to tell it what you wanted done and how. By just letting in choose at random there was no telling what you would get.
The individual who became a monster went on a rampage, destroying any and everything he came across. The other individual attempted to stop him but he was unsuccessful. Eventually the monster destroyed all life in the facility before it died from cellular degradation. The virus, let unchecked, continued to try and mutate him until he became nothing more than a puddle of ooze.
After the "Incident" the facility was forgotten, seeing as everyone who knew about it lived and worked in it. Without any human operators, EVE was left in charged and she continued the research as best she could. As she was unable to really work on the virus she set her attention to the technological aspect, creating weapons and items of great power. After a time when she had done all she was able to do with what little resources at hand, EVE set the facility in "Sleep" mode and remained that way until this day.
In the office of the Director, all Uzumaki Naruto could do was stand and blink, "So, what you're saying is that I have all that stuff and I can do whatever I want with it?"
"Yes Master Uzumaki. This facility is yours to do with as you see fit", replied EVE.
"I am so gonna kick ass when I learn to use this stuff", said the hyper active young demon container. "So, what do I do first?"
"In regards to what, Young Master?" queried a confused AI.
"Well I wanna be the best, well warrior I guess, don't really think those guys were ninja, huh?" said Naruto.
Searching her databanks for references on ninjas, EVE came to a startling discovery. Even though the facility was in "sleep mode" it still watched the area around it. She saw what the locals referred to as ninja and cross referenced it with what was know about ninja from her time. She was amazed; the ninja of now could have easily destroyed the monster that ravaged the facility. She concluded that if someone like them were give the virus they would become something akin to mythological gods.
Returning her attention to Naruto she replied, "No they were not ninja, but they were just as powerful. It seems that human have become powerful even with help. If someone with the abilities of a ninja were to use the virus, they could became one of the most powerful people alive."
"Coooool, so where do we begin", stated Naruto with a devious smirk marring his face.
"Watch world, Uzumaki Naruto is coming for round two and this time I ain't taking no prisoners."
A/N: I know the chapters are short, but I'm trying to get into the swing of things. Let me know what you guys think.
