Somewhere deep inside the ministry of science stood a tall man in his early twenties, who wore a white lab coat. His hair was short and coloured blond. He was standing in front of a short boy who had bright blond hair similar to his, and his innocent green eyes showed confusion as he watched him move towards him.

The man was upset.

"Y1 mind explaining the meaning of this?" he asked the boy with a frown. "I am very concerned about your brothers. R1 is is nowhere to be found and won't answer me when I call him. And B1 follows P1 wherever he goes which isn't helping since P1 never listens to my requests."

The boy who wore similar cloths to the man shrugged his shoulders."I think you know their reasoning very well , sir." he said with a careless expression. He didn't care about any of his brothers, they were a bunch of trouble makers after all.

'B1 really needs to stop worrying about P1 so much. it's such a waste of time and energy." he thought, B1 was the only one he respected from his brothers. 'Too kind for his own good though.'

The building was filled with many people, working on their daily routines. But nobody was allowed to enter the room. most didn't even know its existence. This room was considered off-zone. Nobody was allowed to come in, unless invited.

The man sighed. He aimed his gaze downwards, mumbling a curse under his breath. 'He is so nonchalant about this, it's shameful.'

"I Think that I told you to watch after your brothers as you do your own work. Or have you forgotten?"

"Don't care."

The man's eye brow started twitching, and a deep frown was clearly seen on his tired face.

"Have you forgotten about the reason that you were created for?" he hissed. Y1 just looked at his face without any emotion. Before moving towards one of the tables that were in the big room, which was designed as a house for him and his brothers. Those who built were it trying to make sure that they won't have a reason to go against the ministry by giving them comfort. 'What a joke.' he thought to himself.

He picked up what appeared to be a file, and went to hand it over to the angry man standing behind him stomping his feet loudly. took it from him before, but he didn't bothered checking it. He knew what it was about.

"Whatever you were planning on making us do, won't work anymore." He said as lifted a hand to his long hair as if to fix it from moving to the wrong direction.

"How so?" Dr. Orak was confused now. 'What could he possibly mean?' he thought in his head.

"The Cores...-"

Dr. Orak looked sideways as if to check if someone was there. No one was there but them. So he took a big breath before telling Y1 to continue.

"-Are changing us, sir."

The man looked surprised as he looked at the boy who looked as if he was 16. But his way of thinking was very smart and he always came for his advice. 'Shame, that he is a just a robot, and that's considered normal for robots now days."

The-Cores weren't the original cores. They were merely fake copies of the original ones. A total number of 4 cores, in existence. He and Hameg worked on figuring out the way the Core's were connected to each other. How they worked. And how many there were. They were right about their assumption, there were more cores around and soon enough they would appear. The world was slowly changing and random incidents of Robots going crazy was gradually raising, as if to warn humanity from what is about to happen.

That's the reason the Guardians were created after all. They were created to protect humanity in every way possible.

However, even if they were programmed to follow orders. Soon enough they broke them. It was a scary sight. Seeing one of the highest defence units going maverick in front of their eyes. Dr. Orak and Hameg tried to convince the Guardians that if they would help them, they would get whatever they want.

But they asked for something that couldn't be given. Something quite impossible to get, and giving powerful beings, even more powerful power sources, would be too risky.

The asked to be the originals. They wanted to own the original Cores, they didn't want to be fake.

In the end, the Guardians understood that their wishes were impossible. So they gave up and accepted the offer, but only on one condition. That they would be given freedom to choose whatever they want, whenever they want. But when needed, they would arrive in an instant. Ready to save the day.

'Who would've wanted to be fake, I wouldn't want." he thought with a slump of his shoulders. Y1 looked sideways."I suggest that you stop trying to make us follow orders, we don't like being ordered around anymore." he said.

"Hmm..."

looked upwards as he thought about his desire to create such beings. ' Why did I went so far...'

Their changes were affecting their personalities, they acted more...Human. Instead of following orders blindly, they gave their opinions, and made the higher ends change their actions. It's a scary thing, to have them doing whatever they want. But their creation was a masterpiece by itself. Tenma was the one who helped create them, while Dr. Orak worked on creating the perfect copies of the original Cores. But it was impossible to recreate something so... Alien like.

How he succeeded in creating the Fake-Cores was another story.

Nobody wanted to create more trouble. Cores were considered a troublesome thing, they only brought the destruction of the city after all. But he wanted to use them to protect those who wish to be protected.

Fake-Cores was what he had in mind. To have something of similar power to the originals, just less powerfull. With enough power to help. But it didn't work as he planned. Since the Cores had to deal with the fact that they can't be near each other without causing pain to each other.

To create them he had to use the Blue Core as a sample. Thus he personally asked Tenma to have a look at his creation, although the man was against him checking his robot. He asked his creation himself, and the robot accepted after hearing that it was for the greater good.

He wanted to understand the Blue Core, and it's relation to the other Cores. At the time they only knew about the existence of the Red,Blue,Black-Cores, although the black core wasn't considered an original Core and thus was more of a failed core.

To understand the connection to the other Cores, he and Hameg ran many tests to see how the Blue core reacts towards the other cores, and it seems as if it was connected to them by thin energy pulses. The blue core had blueprints from the other cores, which gave him the ability to copy these blue prints and create the Guardians.

They noticed that there were only 4 types of blueprints that the Blue core's energy held within. That was when they asked Tenma to work with them to create this guardians, and he accepted right away, which was weird since Tenma was against them trying to mess with the Cores power. But then he told them that he wanted someone to take his son's place as the saviour of the city, because his son asked him for that many times, and he didn't want to disappoint him anymore.

Hameg told them that the cores might one day meet each other, which might cause a disaster. 'Too much energy at one location. We can't tell what the cores would do.' was what he said.

But knew that from the moment he started to understand the abilities of each core, and their place together. Each core had a reason for existence, and when one of them was destroyed. A new one was born. Which was the reason for the creation of the black core. Which was a failed core who didn't have the ability to save life, like the other cores.

The cores were able to sustain life, a more of an unlimited energy source that the owner of it wouldn't have to worry about dying. But they were never tested on humans, since to connect the Core with the owner. The human would have to lose its life and before they die the core has to make contact with the body, but the core didn't chose randomly. It chose those who were a perfect match for them, in terms of desires and wishes. So they couldn't take risks just to have the person die, or end up having the desire to go against humanity with their new found powers. After all, being immortal would be too much for a person to handle without going against its human self. Which might bring havoc to those around it.

"I would have to ask you to go and find your brothers, Y1. That's one of your specialties after all. So make use of it." Dr. Orak said calmly. Y1 nodded "Yes, sir. Right away."

shook his head before heading out of the door, but stopped in front of it to add something before he left.

"Make sure to give them the new orders-"

"I know,sir. The new Core has arrived has it not?" Y1 said with a serious expression on his petite face. nodded.

"It seems that we have some trouble coming our way. I hope that you know how to deal with your brothers. After all, you are the one that has to make sure that they follow their orders. You know what will happen if they don't. So keep an eye on them, is that clear?"

"Yes, sir."
