Story 9: Robot

Welcome to the year 2980. A few hundered years ago aliens finally invaded the Earth, killing and kidnapping humans for experiments. The whole world went on panic for a few centuries having no chance to fight the invaders. After many centuries devices were finally made by humans in order to fight against them, and Dr. Fuji made a breakthrough in these field.

Inside the barrier where the surviving humans live and train for their lives, he made the perfect weapon, SakunoCherry01. This robot can be mistaken as a human. She has the most advance technology Dr. Fuji made. Her skin is so human like, her eyes, her nose, her body, her everything. She can answer hard question, very smart indeed. And inside SakunoCherry01 is the ultimate weapon that can kill the whole alien race, or so in theory.

Dr. Fuji is really proud of this accomplishment of his. She's very powerful and almost a perfect comppanion, she can feel and understand and and her being beautiful is just an extra advantage. There came a time when he was sick and she took care of him, when he woke up he saw a tear fell from her brown caring eyes.

So when the council decided that its the right time to send SakunoCherry01 in the field, he refused. He knew it was selfish and all but she doesnt desreve to be a sacrifice.

"It's a robot sir! It's made to do this!" they argue

"She-"he corected "And no, I'll just make another robot"

So he spend his time on making a robot that can surpass her, a robot that cant feel. But the time wasnt enough, the aliens tried harder to break the barrier. She could see how tired he was making the robot and she understands why he was trying so hard. She understood that she was the only one that can save her creator's race.

So when its dark out ans he was asleep, she left him a letter and went out to face her doom.

He woke up when a earthquake-like tremor passed them by followed by people cheering coming closer. "Youre a hero doctor!! We beat them!" they shouted. And he knew that instant he lost his most valuable treasure.

He stood up hurrying when he saw an envelop on the floor, he opened it and read her letter.

Arigatou for making me doctor, unlike other robots I feel and thank you for that. I would like it if you wont blame yourself doctor, please take care of the world and be happy. Make another companion so you wont be lonely or interact with other people, that'll be possible now since you dont have to work so much anymore. I think I love you doctor, I saw people saying that to the people important to them just like Momo-san and Ann-san. Im not sure what love means, but I know youre important to me. Thank you. -Sakuno

And the letter just made him more determined to find her and outsidethe barrier, aliens lie dead and unmoving. He walked and walked until he came to a large crater. He hoped that maybe, she's still alive/ functioning and maybe he could save/fix her.

He found her dead/destroyed electricity coursing through her with a smile on her face.

Gone was SakunoCherry01

Gone was Dr, Fuji's heart.
