Version 01, File 01: Cyber World, Evolve!

On the rooftop of the Trident Tower, there was a black longhaired man mumbling something about humankind's last days. He wears a bloody red torn cape, black trench coat, gunmetal black denim jeans and brown leather boots. Judging by his looks, he does not appear to be a false prophet prophesizing the end of the human race, but rather a lost intergalactic bounty hunter. The apocalyptic man mumbled,

"There'll be a time where mankind will be deleted...I have seen the vision of this digital apocalypse...I don't believe that mankind would really rely on these gizmos...Sometime, they'll be killed by their own creation"

The caped weirdo laughed like a devil in the midst of the heavy rain falling down to earth.

Inside the Trident Tower, a pink longhaired scientist began researching in the Net for their new project called the "Evolution Patch". She wears a yellow cotton striped shirt, pink knee-length skirt, white lab coat and black shoes. While she was researching for the project, she heard a soft but somewhat demonic voice and it said,

"The growth of the paradise means the evolution of the wretched human race…as they grow, their contraptions evolved up to the point in which they'll be slain sometime"
"Wh-who are you! What are you talking! Answer me!" the frightened scientist shouted.

The voice stopped from uttering cruel statements, so the female scientist decided to continue her research for the Evolution Patch project. However, she saw a bloody-red window pop-up on her screen and she thought it was an adware running in the background or a virus. She closed the pop-up window and she continued researching for the project. She was able to obtain various data to make the project possible. She saved all of the information she obtained in the Net in a crystal blue flash disk. After saving it, she saw the horrible pop-up window once again, so she read the pop-up window's message,

"The humanity was surely insane after all…Why in hell they have to put the Net on its next stage? Are they going to make Cyberius Sanctuarius Supremius? That is enough! If they will continue this pile of trash, then they are putting themselves to danger! If you are one of these people who wanted to make this Cyberius Sanctuarius Supremius possible, please do not continue this thing or else, Abaddon will screw up your works and the world shall suffer!"

She closed the pop-up window and turned off her computer. After shutting down her computer, the horrible message was still on her head and she asked herself about the message,

"What is he trying to tell me? Is he talking to me or to anyone else in this tower? Why is he mad at us?"

The female scientist left her room, she found Dr. Hikari walking in the hallway, and she hugged him hard and talked to him as if she saw a ghost haunting in her room,

"Hikari-hakase! I received a threat pop-up from an unknown source and I heard a demon talking in my room! I'm scared!"
"Calm down, Miss Minamoto" Dr. Hikari replied while softly tapping her back.
"What did that window told you?" Dr. Hikari asked Miss Minamoto.
"He's talking about our project! He even said that our project named as the 'Cyberius Sanctuarius Supremius'. He even threatened me if we continued this project, Abaddon will destroy our project and he'll destroy the world!" the scared scientist replied with fear and anxiety flowing in her words.
"Cyberius Sanctuarius Supremius? That is not the name of our project! Whoever told you about that must be crazy or an online terrorist who wanted to put us to danger…" Dr. Hikari said.

After their conversation about the threat, Dr. Hikari went back to his office and Miss Minamoto went to the first floor of the tower by using the elevator. She is inside the elevator going to the first floor of the tower. She looked at her watch and it was 07:30 in the evening. She picked her PET from her skirt's pocket and checked her mail.

Meanwhile, in the Hikari residence in Cyber Town, Netto and his mother, Haruka were preparing for Netto's graduation day tomorrow by fixing their formal wear. While Netto's mother was ironing their formal wear tomorrow, Netto e-mailed his dad about his graduation tomorrow, his e-mail message said,

"Dad, I'll be in the stage tomorrow…I will be a high-school student after I graduated. By the way, when we will spend time together? Mom is worried already…You are not yet home for weeks because of the Evolution Patch…Dad, please come to my graduation day tomorrow. Mom is preparing your formal wear already. I love you, dad!"

After typing the message, he sent the mail to his dad and went back to his mom to help her preparing for his graduation.

Back to the Trident Tower, Miss Minamoto left the Trident Tower and called a taxicab to go to Shibuya. In Dr. Hikari's room, Dr. Hikari took off his lab coat and placed his coat on the chair. His PET rang and he checked it if there were e-mail messages for him and there is one. That is Netto's e-mail. He read the e-mail. While reading the e-mail, his eyes shed little tear drops because his son's words struck his heart. Therefore, Dr. Hikari immediately replied to his message. He said in the e-mail message,

"Son, sorry for not coming home for days because I was busy researching and doing the Evolution Patch that we were working on. I'll be home tonight, son…I love you…"

He sent his e-mail to Netto and he fixed his office. After thirty hardworking minutes of fixing his office, he turned off everything in his office and left the office tidy yet dark.

It was midnight already…In a ruined laboratory located in Mega Machina, Digitopia, there was a brown-skinned man wearing dirty white torn lab coat, black leather pants with some cuts in the shins and black boots holding a black bulky flash disk and he plugged the flash disk in his Fusion Progress PET and it displayed a message:

"The Apocalypse Project"

The Apocalypse project initially known as the Ultimate Cyber Defense Initiative program that planned by Dr. Hikari's crew. However, the crew prioritized more in the "Eldeon", "Evolution Patch" or the worst name ever baptized on that crap was "Cyberius Sanctuarius Supremius". Of all projects ever planned, why did Dr. Hikari chose the evolution program? What the hell's he doing with that crap once it's finished?"

The dirty scientist said to himself,

"Hmmm…some former employee dropped this rant-ridden flash disk in this demolished workshop…I'd rather keep it"

The scientist suddenly faded out like a ghost.

Next day…The graduation day has come! In the Hikari residence, Haruka prepared their formal attires and their breakfast. Dr. Hikari came downstairs and he went in the living room and watched a news program in their flat-screen television.

In Netto's room, Netto was still asleep as if there is no special event going on. His Fusion Progress PET started ringing and Rockman.EXE was shouting at him,

"Netto-kun! Wake up!"

Netto did not hear his wake-up call. Yet Rockman.EXE still attempted to wake him up,

"Netto-kun! Wake up! It's your graduation day!"

Netto did not hear his call again,...It seems that Rockman.EXE must give him a red-alert warning to wake him up! Rockman.EXE tried to wake him up for the third time,

"Netto-kun! Meiru-chan is in trouble! Akihara is being invaded by aliens!"

Finally, Netto woke up by that alarming wake-up call done by his trusty Net Navi. He hurriedly fixed his bed, rushed downstairs, and saw his mother and father seated in their dining chairs and his mom asked him,

"Oh Netto! Why you're so hasty today?"
"Meiru-chan is in trouble mom, so I need to save her quickly!" the alarmed bandanna-boy answered.
"Netto, Meiru is safe and sound…After all, they're going to have their graduation day too!" his sweet mother replied. "Oh yeah, the breakfast is ready, let's eat" his mom added.

Netto puffed and then calmly went to his place in the dining table and ate his breakfast.

Meanwhile, in an abandoned skyscraper in Kotobuki, the brown dirty scientist arrived and the apocalyptic man saw him and asked,

"Raiho, what on earth are you holding?"
"A forgotten flash disk, Lord Mokushi" Raiho answered.
"What's inside the disk, Raiho?" the dirty apocalyptic lord asked.
"Somewhat like a rant!" the dirty scientist answered.
"Oh, a rant document...I see..." Lord Mokushi replied coolly. "By the way, Raiho...I have an order for you"
"What is it, my great lord?" his loyal companion asked with extreme reverence.
"I want you to make the Apocalypse Project alive!" the coolly lord ordered his companion like a dog.
"Wh-what!" Raiho asked him with fear flowing in his exclamation.

Lord Mokushi showed his sawed-off golden shotgun and pointed to his only loyal companion.

"Do as I say or I'll turn your wretched flesh into a digital life form which the entire human race won't ever dare to hit him even with a single lead bullet!" the dirty lord threatened him.
"Y-yes m-my lord!" Raiho fearfully answered him as a sign of forced obedience.

Raiho left the ruined hall and Lord Mokushi holstered his golden shotgun.

Back to the Hikari family, Netto and his parents are fully groomed and dressed . They are on their way to Cyber Academy to attend the graduation day.

In the academy's auditorium, almost all of the graduates together with their parents were present and got their respective seats. Therefore, the Hikaris sat in the second row of the auditorium seats where the rest of the sixth grade students rounded up. Everyone in the auditorium waited until all seats occupied already by the rest of the graduates/

The graduates, together with their parents, occupy all of the seats then the commencement exercise has begun with an opening speech delivered by the principal of the academy…After twenty minutes of inspiring opening speech, the high school choir sang their country's national anthem with extreme loyalty to their country, so the graduates and their parents too. After singing the national anthem, the awarding of the diplomas started…

After an hour and a half of awarding the diplomas to the students, including the heroic student, Netto Hikari, everyone sang the academy's hymn as their concluding part of the commencement exercise.

After the commencement exercise, the Hikari family went to a large mall to celebrate Netto's graduation…

In the dark, hidden laboratory, Raiho suddenly changed his clothing into his dark, ancient mage costume and he saw his hidden followers kneeling in front of him. The followers shouted at him,

"Hail the disciple of Abaddon, Raiho! Hail the disciple of Abaddon, Raiho!"

Raiho fluttered his cape and he shouted to his loyalists,

"Revive our god, Abaddon! Revive his greatness and uplift his reign!"

The loyalists began to type various codes in their computers to "revive" their god.

Meanwhile, in the Cyber City GigaMall, the family went to a Chinese restaurant and they ordered various Chinese foods. After waiting for their order, they were able to celebrate Netto's graduation with a great feast. While celebrating their graduation feast, A phone call interrupted Dr. Hikari. Therefore, Dr. Hikari answered the call,

"Who is this?"
"This is Dr. Hirai Kanzaki, one of your contributors for the Eldeon project, I am calling you right now because we have to finish this project before these three corporate giants revoke their funds used in this promising project. I am very sorry for interrupting your party out there." the caller answered.
"Kanzaki-hakase, who are these corporate giant you're talking about?" Dr. Hikari asked his contributor.
"They're all from Digitopia. Namely, the Sinagtala Enterprise, the Montalban Group of Companies and the Asuncion Corporation. These giants really funded this project from the start and now, we are almost complete. What we need right now is your secret program in order to finish Eldeon project." the blue frumpy-haired contributor answered the scientific leader's question.
"Ok then, I'll be there in an hour." Dr. Hikari concluded their videophone conversation and continued their family's celebration.

Haruka asked her husband about the caller,

"Hubby, who called you?"
"He's one of my major contributors, Dr. Kanzaki. He wanted me urgently." Dr. Hikari answered his wife's curiosity.
"Where? Oh no, don't tell me that you're going back to work and leave us!" his wife went partly peeved.
"In Trident Tower dear. I have to go there because our job depends on the project! If Eldeon was not finished or executed, the conglomerates who funded our project will take their funds back and I'll be jobless if that thing happened." her worried husband answered.
"Just finish the food, honey and leave some kisses to us before you leave!" his wife said.

Therefore, Dr. Hikari finished his lunch with a little haste then kissed his wife and hugged his only son. Then he left the restaurant. Somehow, he showed his love to his family though he is a busy dad.

In the Trident Tower, the scientists involved in the Eldeon project assembled in their project site and continued working on the Eldeon project. Eventually, Dr. Hikari ran into the main hall of the tower and he began shouting to the people to move back so that he can make it to the site.

He made it to the project site and now, Dr. Kanzaki asked Dr. Hikari to insert the secret program to finish Eldeon. After inserting the program to the large computer's disc drive, they heard a digitized female voice talked,

"I am the 'heart' of the Evolution Patch, Gaia. I am designed to give life to the place where will you install me…I am the giver of life. I am the guardian of this world that you are creating now. I am willing to follow any of your instructions, the creators of the Eldeon…"

All of the scientists inside the site were amazed because the secret program was a digital goddess designed to make the evolution of the Cyber World possible. The Eldeon project was finished…

Ten minutes after finishing Eldeon, the three presidents of the Digitopian conglomerates arrived in the tower's meeting room. These presidents are waiting for the Eldeon staff to present their promising work. The staff arrived in the meeting room and Dr. Hikari was carrying the Eldeon disk. Then their presentation began with an introduction of the three presidents.

The blue short-haired lady stood up and introduced herself,

"I am President Elaine Sinagtala of the Sinagtala Enterprise."

President Sinagtala wears a blue office uniform with a star insignia on her left chest pocket, light brown stockings and brown leather shoes and she wears gold-framed round eyeglasses.

Then the blonde tan-skinned gentleman stood up and introduced himself to the Eldeon staff,

"I am President Allan Montalban of the Montalban Group of Companies. It is nice to meet you all in this moment."

President Montalban wears a white tuxedo, white leather shoes and he adorns a gold pendant with a green orb etched in it.

Then finally, the blue, fair-skinned gentleman stood up and introduced himself with strong appeal,

"A pleasant day to all, I am President Ernesto Asuncion of the Asuncion Corporation."

President Asuncion wears a blue tuxedo, blue leather shoes. He has a silver hawk insignia pin attached in his tuxedo's left chest and he has blue-framed eyeglasses.
After their short introduction, President Sinagtala immediately asked Dr. Hikari to state his project's purpose. Then Dr. Hikari stated the Eldeon's purpose,

"Eldeon or simply known as the Evolution Patch was designed in order to improve the online structure embedded in the Net. This project shall evolve the simple Cyber World to its nearly organic stage in which all digital life living in the Cyber World would have what living creatures in our world have. If the Eldeon project succeeded in evolving Cyber World, we can now cross to this evolved space to gather materials and discover new things to improve the quality of human life.

"To improve the quality of human life, this project must not cause any utter destruction to all life on Earth or massive damage to properties…Is that project you made safe enough?" President Sinagtala asked him critically.
"Certainly yes, Miss Sinagtala" Dr. Hikari respectfully answered.
"Hmmm…Dr. Hikari, it appears that one of your previous works caused trouble in Jawaii mall before. That incident caused viruses to reach our world and now, you are doing this project! What are you thinking, Dr. Yuiichiro Hikari? Are you trying to destroy the human world by evolving these digital life forms and let them go to our world, terrorizing people and property!"

President Asuncion rebutted Dr. Hikari with a previous situation concerning his current project.

Dr. Kanzaki went furious about President Asuncion's questions, so he angrily shouted to the president,

"That incident won't happen again and our project wasn't designed to ruin the world, we are trying to make things better for mankind!"
"Then use the project now to prove that his flaw won't happen again" the calm President Montalban commanded them to run their project.

Dr. Hikari inserted the secret program to the meeting room's computer and asked his staff to insert the Eldeon project's component discs to their terminals to start the evolution process.

Gaia appeared in every monitor installed in the room and she talked to everyone inside the room,

"Hello, fellow creators and viewers, I am Gaia…At your service. Today, I am summoned by my creator to make the evolution of all digital life possible…So, I will do it now…"

The changing Cyber World was shown in every monitor of the room. The digital trees in the Cyber World were turned into real Earth trees, then the roads were turned into Earth-realistic roads, sidewalks and pathways, then there were Cyber Houses growing which replaced the old form of home pages, all digital life including viruses and Navis turned into their nearly organic versions.

Back in the rooftop of the Trident Tower, Lord Mokushi appeared once again and he said,

"It happened already...The evolution has been executed...Abaddon will be awakened shortly..."

The Eldeon project was a success and would the warning shown to the staff of the Eldeon Project soon become a reality?
