Chapter 5-Chobit?
I hope I'm not boring you people... Because Chapter 5 is here! What are chobits? Could Goku be a chobit?
Let's find out...
"What was THAT for? Do your persocon's attack people like this all the time!"
I had finally managed to get away from Lexxaria's Baywatch crew and into the living room. Now, they were all on the floor. They looked as if they were paralized or something like that. They had all tried to analize Goku's programming and ended up on the floor as a result.
"I don't think I have enough power to analize your persocon" Lexxaria said after staring at Goku for a long time.
"Wha-But you have four persocons!" I exclaimed. I couldn't believe it! Now I'd never find out anything about Goku...
"I could try it."
Lexxaria and I turned. Next to the hallway door stood a small man dressed in a white suit and white hat. He could've passed for one of Al Capogne's men if it wasn't for his small size.
"Krillin" said Lexxaria.
I stood up,"Hello, Krillin. Nice to meet you. I'm Nishune Konamari."
"Nice to meet you, Nishune." He said while shaking my hand.
"You're Lexxaria's brother right? Thanks for everything."
"Actually, I'm a persocon created by her." he said with a smile.
"WHAT!" This was too much! How many persocons has this girl created?
"But, Krillin..." Lexxaria started.
He stood in front of her. They were exactly the same hight.
"You want to know his properties, right?"
Lexxaria looked at Goku. Then she turned back to Krillin and nodded. I couldn't help but notice a sad look on her face. She didn't seem to care much for her other persocons. She was only worried about Krillin. I wondered why...
Krillin pulled a long cable out from the back of his hat. Then, he walked over to Goku, opened one of his ears, and stuck the cable inside.
"This won't take long." he said.
Krillin's eyes narrowed in the same way Veggie's had when he tried to scan Goku's hardrive. At first, he seemed to be alright. Then, the same creaking sound that had come from Veggie before he busted down started coming from Krillin as well.
"Uh oh." I muttered.
Suddenly, something happened to Krillin. His head didn't spin like Veggie's and no smoke was coming from his neck, but he started to shake like mad, as if suffering from an attack. He stood up and reeled forward as if about to fall.
"That's enough, Krillin!" cried out Lexxaria running forward and pulling the cable out of Goku's ear. Her face was pale with shock and fright.
Krillin clutched on to Lexxaria's arm for support. He looked very dizzy, almost as if he wanted to throw up or something like that.
"Part of my arcives have been damaged" he said in a feeble voice.
"Which ones?"
"Just the ones on economic and finances."
"You...didn't loose...any personality archives...right?" Lexxaria asked Krillin with a worried look.
"No" he said, collapsing into her arms.
I stared at the two of them. Krillin wasn't like any persocon I'd ever seen. He seemed almost... human. Lexxaria just held on to him. A look of relief across her face. I still kept on wondering why she cared more for Krillin than her Baywatch crew. Maybe it was because Krillin was the first persocon she made or because he had more power than the others or...
I stopped my thinking and thought of something dreadful...Goku. Was HE Ok? He wasn't damaged as well? It was true that when Veggie had the breakdown nothing happened to Goku, but Krillin was a lot different than Veggie. What if something happened to him?
"Wait a minute. Is Goku OK?" I rushed to him. He looked at me and smiled, then he hugged me just like Krillin was hugging Lexxaria.
"His name's Goku?" asked Krillin with interest.
"Yeah" I nodded, still worried about him.
"Don't worry. Goku's not damaged. You don't have to worry about that."
"Maybe it's because he doesn't have an operative sistem or anything"
"I don't think that's the case." said Krilin.
"What do you mean?" I asked looking up at him.
He looked at Goku with a worried expression,"I'm not even sure...if he's got an operative sistem installed..."
"Why not?" I asked growing worried.
"Because Goku's got a strong protection."
"WHAT?"
Five minutes later, we were all sitting at Lexxaria's coffee table. Krillin brought iced tea for me and Lexxaria. He actually looked better, but I decided to ask either way.
"Are you sure you're OK, Krillin?"
"Yeah. Don't worry about it. Lexxaria just fixed me a couple of minutes ago."
"But what about those damaged archives?"
"Well, since we always do copies of the archives every morning, all Lexxaria had to do was install them again. So really, I haven't lost anything if you think about it."
I nodded and turned my attention to Lexxaria. She was still wearing that saddened look on her face. I wondered what was bothering her. Even though she was a genius, she was still a little kid. She shouldn't be suffering like that...
"What's up?" she said, catching my glance.
"Um...Oh yeah, you mentioned something about Goku beign a chobit before we entered. What's that?"
Lexxaria sipped her tea thoughtfully. Then she dipped her finger inside and wrote on the table CHOBITS with the brownish liquid.
"Chobits" she started,"are legendary persocons."
"Legendary?"
"Yes. There's an urban legend that exists on internet. They say that there's a series of persocons that came out under the codename Chobits."
"But there're thousands and thousands of persocon!" I exclaimed,"Even you make 'em!"
"Calm down, I haven't finished yet." Lexxaria said.
"Oh, sorry!" I said with a sheepish grin.
"As I was saying, Chobits are persocons who can act on their own decision. They decide what they want to do. Like any human, for example."
"But wouldn't that make Krillin one? I mean, what he did before was on his own will, right?"
"No" Lexxaria said shaking her head,"Krillin's controlled by a program I designed. That program tells him what's right and what he should do in each situation. He recognises the program's information and he acts in function to it. He's got an autolearn program...so all those actions that look like they're his...mainly depend from that program. Sometimes he might start malfunctioning and without programs he can't work. But in a Chobit's case that doesn't happen. They might not need everything Krillin does to work properly."
"Then, are you telling me that Goku's some kind of super persocon!" I asked amazed.
"Well, you know how these urban legends are... It might be a false rumor. You know how people love to exagerate things."
I fell face forward on the coffee table. False rumor? Exagerations? Chobits?
"THEN WHERE DOES ALL THIS SHIT TAKE ME!"
There ya go! Chapter 5 is done like dinner. This was kinda long to tell the truth...Wadda ya think? Was it too predictable that Krillin was gonna be Lexxaria's persocon? I first thought about other characters, but I thought the idea of Krillin with his white suit and hat (appeared when he was dating Maron) would be great indeed! A lot better than Lexxaria's Baywatch boys! Well, I'll get around to Chapter 6 sooner or later during this week! I won't say much, but I will say that in that chapter Goku speaks! Yes! Finally! He won't say much, but start expecting more speaking parts from him! I just looooooove his voice! I saw an interview with his voice actor on YouTube where he said something about drinking a bottle of steak sauce when he was a kid (hahhaha, yours truley once drank a bottle of mustard when she was little!)! Thanks for reading this story and don't leave me hangin'! We still got a LOT of chapters to go! See you next time!
