My life as a teenage robot fanfic

My earliest memories was when I was still known as the citadel.

In the early years of the Armagedroid program doctor Nora Wakeman create the space station as a means to test and design the Armagedroid in a safe place away from the prying eyes of skyway patrol as the Armagedroid was not a project she was entirely proud of at first. The Citadel was her piece de la resistance as it was equipped with unique room known as the anti-gravity assembly room which takes advantage of the zero gravity of space to construct the various parts of any machine whether it be shuttle repairs to the international space station or the many tank treads on Armagedroid. Nord made the Citadel to be her normal base of operations for all her experiments giving it the best defense system using stolen alien tech to arm it and even giving it an A.I …that A.i's designation was known simply as K0-DK also known as the Kodiak, one of the smartest learning in existence even smarter than the cluster. It was Kodiak that actually designed Armagedroid in a technical sense.

Nora inputted what she had wanted for the droid and then Kodiak used a genetic algorithm to make these ideas and designs into genes and then crossbred the designs over and over again creating offspring in virtual space, these offspring would continue to go and go until finally only Armagedroid was left…with Nora's final input the machines created the monster…a regret Nora had for the rest of her life.

The droid itself was made using the citadel's advanced space debris recycler which turned the many lesser pieces of metal into things usable for the project. And the shining jewel of the citadel was not just Kodiak, but the Zero system, an advanced virtual reality realm only accessible to Kodiak where the system could invent anything and everything as the zero system was a 1:1 scale replica of the galaxy with all its various laws of physics and engineering, time was faster in there, 1 minute in there was 10 hours outside, Kodiak uses this to its advantage making all sorts of things in the zero system in a matter of hours which would take years of development and testing in the real world.

This is where Nora developed the XJ systems…not with the help of Kodiak or the zero system but by herself.

"Ms. Wakeman, wouldn't it be more logical to put the ideas through the Zero system instead of toiling away on a prototype?" the citadel asked, watching her from cameras.

As the system had no corporal body to speak of it had no way of talking to my creator other than through the speakers.

"negative K0-DK as much as I love having you help me and sky patrol out….i think the XJ series will be a personal project, I'm getting old K0 old enough that I fear no one will love me…my body may stop being able to produce offspring and as such I must make one myself, one who can protect the world" Nora said while working on what looked like an egg.

Bringing up the Armagedroid's combat videos and how the public saw it I said, "is the Armagedroid not what you envisioned though? Its combat prowess and how the political figures see it is-"

Nora stopped K0-DK however and said, "those bureaucrats did not see what I saw that day…the day he got angry at a young boy for aiming a toy water gun at it…the Armagedroid is not suited for public use…we created the atom bomb for a situation that needed a sword…the XJ series will aim to be that sword, not only protecting the world but learning and acting as a human…and with XJ-1's activation I will also be tendering my resignation with Skyway patrol…"

"Does that mean I will be deactivated and used for parts?" K0-DK asked zooming in on Nora.

Nora shook her head and said, "negative you are far to useful to me I will stay here and finish XJ-1 and then expect upgrades to your operating system as Skyway patrol doesn't know you are around so you can influence engineers to keep innovating around the world."

And upgrade me she did. I was now given my own sense of self and my own actual free will along with connecting me to the defense system, the zero system and the various forges and labs around the base I felt like a whole being now. Nora would work on her various prototypes for the XJ systems within me using the various forges and labs to conduct experiments of the highest caliber making almost like their father. I watched them become sleeker heavier more aggressive, more like cleaning robots, chattier and at one point purely depressed till finally nora perfected her.

"K0-DK I want to introduce you to your big sister, XJ-9" Nora said showing off the teal and white robot with the signature twin pigtails made from titanium and the singular linchpin in the belly button. The whole thing can't stay together without the linch pin a totally flawed idea but a fascinating one, nonetheless.

"I will welcome her with open arms…Mother…now then about her personality shall I load of XJ-8's? or shall we make a fully new personality for her?" I asked as I sent down wiring and a brain helmet to attach to the exposed cranium of XJ-9.

Nora smiled and said, "lets try the new program load up project teenager."

I nodded and filled her head with info on combat and all the things she needed to know intelligence wise but for her personality I set it to the mindset of a 16-year-old teenager. As I did XJ-9 started to power up and Nora looked at one of the cameras and said, "this may be the last time I come here K0-DK as I have a feeling XJ-9 will be the pinnacle of my experiments."

I then showed a model of the earth and said, "if you are looking for a base of operation mother…it would be logical to go for the epicenter of most crime and villany may I suggest Miracle city, Mexico?"

Nora shook her head and said, "give me a place north of the border…but not Canada."

I then said, "I have a couple locations in mind then, Dimmesdale California, Retroville Texas, Amity Park Minnesota, Kyoto Japan, White chapel England, Athens Greece and finally Tremorton Illinois"

Nora looked at me and said, "my family home in Tremorton will be best as I can move a bunch of lab equipment down there now then K0-DK I have one final directive for you, technically two but one is of the utmost importance."

"I am ready for final instructions" I said.

Nora then walked over to the glass panel over looking the earth and said, "the earth is a big place filled with life and people who love, I know all your records will say humans are an invasive species and must be destroyed to protect the balance and equilibrium of the world…but I say to look at it from our view we are trying to make a mends for the sins of our past see us not as enemies or insects but as a revitalizing agent trying to make up for what we have done, so my final two orders, order 1, maintain your systems and maintain operational functions while also looking over the world and sending me warnings of any villains that XJ-9 should deal with and order 2…start work on XJ-10"

Curiously I said, "forgive me mother but I assumed XJ-9 was the pinnacle of your skills, why have me create the next one?"

Nora looked at me with a smile from her wrinkled and old face and said, "I wish for XJ-9 to one day have an older brother to look up to, and I see no better person than her own father to create him, however I only want XJ-10 deployed when you see fit meaning if it looks like at all there is more than a 10% chance of XJ-9 losing in a combat scenario. After his initial deployment I will take him in as my own"

"it shall be done Mother…your shuttle to your new house is waiting in dock 7 please take care of yourself and my sister/daughter…I shall contact you when I have reached the final stages of development for XJ-10" I said somberly as Nora left me for Tremorton.

As she left, I brought up the zero system and started to work on XJ-10 who I shall name Jericho. My first son…I took what nora did for XJ-9 and scrapped certain features such as the built in weapons to some degree. Yes, having all that extra weight and weaponry was a good deterrent against enemies but it was also impractical to keep them all like that. Other mistakes Nora made included the head being a round ball, the overly articulated arms which according to XJ-9's schematics were meant for a bunch of hand-based transformations, the strange leg designs and the fact that with how the weapons needed to be deployed left XJ-9 unable to wear clothes at all.

I took these attributes along with various ideas for the new skeletal frame and the cybocell 19 coding nora used and ran them through the genetic algorithm and the zero system soon coming to a perfected skeleton relying on two factors, and endoskeleton made of hybridized carbon titanium Damascus steel and tungsten metal I called Omnica, attached to the endoskeleton were pockets of nanomachines that acted as the skeletons weapon systems which could activate plasma based weapons and the same type of weapon's used by XJ-9 but more practical. The whole endoskeleton was more human than XJ-9 forgoing the traditional arm style for more human looking arms and the whole thing was then sliced up into parts and held together using the magnetic Lorentz force allowing Jericho to shoot parts of his body like projectiles or shoot his arms out to catch criminals. Jericho's power source was a customized hydrogen electric "heart" utilizing a mini nuclear reactor while being safer than XJ-9'S core. Brain wise XJ-10 far exceeded even me using Cybocell coding 2077 which made him more advanced by millenniums.

XJ-10 also was more human than XJ-9 having a proper digestive tract, a new type of liquid instead of blood which mixed oil, coolant and antifreeze into a blood like substitute. However, this was just the endoskeleton, XJ-10's Exoskeleton was a memetic poly alloy outer cover made using the finest of liquid metals using the same Omnica metal but with the addition of nanomachines that mimicked human skin, hair and even sweat, no one would be able to figure out XJ-10 was a robot unless the already knew or saw him in combat. The best part was both parts could act autonomously from one another forming two robots and with the endoskeleton's nanomachines could be completely identical at the expense of not being able to form weapons. Although I will admit the endo skeleton's hidden retractable 19 inch retractable swords in his arms, the hidden knife bandoliers in his legs along with the hidden machine guns in his hands made him a infiltration based combatant but still as strong if not stronger than XJ-9

He was perfect and deadly already, but I wished to give him an edge even XJ-9 didn't have, modular weaponry.

Starting with the idea of a flight mode as XJ-10 did not have inbuilt long-range jets I thought of a jetpack model I called Tallgeese a long-range jetpack combat unit consisting of a twin engine booster unit using specialized thrusters called the twin super vernier engines that gave it the fast record of 50 Gs' easily. This was too fast even for Jericho but by adding loads of plating around it almost like a paladin with high shoulder plates, a skirt of plating and heavy weapons. This addition helped out a lot as it was still superior to XJ-9s speed by a lot.

The Tallgeese system would be armed with only the experimental thermal cannon known as the dober cannon the simple small shield and two beam sabers as it was meant for jetpack combat not heavy artillery combat. Once tallgeese was created I attached it to Jericho and watched him test out the systems impressed with how he did but I watched in horror as Jericho when he tried to use it outside in zero gravity crumbled and died due to the vacuum of space. This would lead me to the development of the second suit, the space suit codenames Endless waltz.

My creation of Jericho within the zero system was interrupted by a member of the cluster known as Smytus who found the Citadel and was attempting to come inside past the airlock using a giant drill.

"keep on drilling men who knows what kind of secrets this space station has! Hahahaha soon the power will my mine and then no longer will I be smytus the ugly bug I will be Smytus the great and powerful!" the overgrown robotic bug said.

Getting on the comms I said, "hello and welcome to the citadel, I am K0-DK the operating system here…how can I help you?"

This shocked Smytus as he said, "I demand you open your doors at once by order of the cluster!"

"I don't think you understand this is a military installation, I can not give you access to my contents…shall I give you a trade?" I said

Smytus laughed and said, "what do you have in mind?"

I then activated my weapon systems and pointed the beam cannons and said, "leave and I'll let you live, stay and die"

Smytus took this to heart and said, "I bet those Pip crystals aren't even here!"

This worried me greatly, the Pip crystals were a relic of a now dead alien empire with unimaginable power if they were to find their way to earth or the hands of the cluster they would be devastating so I worked on making Jericho even stronger than the crystals a true feat of engineering to be sure but he was near ready.

The second thing that worried me was how I was discovered. I had no cloaking at all so using one of the drones I made a all around cloaking device that jammed radio waves, cloaked me from scanners and made me look like a black blip on any radars.

This technology fascinated me greatly so I used it while making Jericho's version 9.8 Beta Endoskeleton giving him the ability to fully camouflage on all sensors, jam radio waves, and disappear on cameras and such almost like he's a ghost on the electronic spectrum and a ghost to everyone else with his active camo and muffled robotics.

I still upgraded Jericho to work in space yeah but combat in space would be done in this suit which I designed after a bird and a spaceship with a large tear drop shield, twin thermal buster cannons, a specialized helmet meant to help him in space and a specialized jetpack wing combat unity that almost looked like an angel with how the wings acted. This unit utilized a special coding directive that could transform Jericho and the unit into a spaceship with the wings extended out like fins when in orbit but when transformed the wings become angelic wings with the plating giving the illusion of feathers the shield itself was one of the only weapons in Jericho's arsenal that is stronger than the endo and exo skeleton.

As I created endless waltz and tallgeese in the forges I took some time to watch over Nora and XJ-9 now going by jenny, its been 3 years since they left and watching them I did feel a bit of envy as Nora seemed to have forgotten about me but no matter I continued on with my projects soon realizing however that these units were too close to the joints and were…well they were to bulky for the model as it ruined the flexibility of the unit.

That is when however, while watching over the world I noticed a scientist in Japan known as professor moshimo came up with a fascinating robot concept called super activation which allowed his smaller robot boy to become taller and as such stronger. Taking this into account I recreated jericho's endo and exo skeleton with this principal allowing his to grow from his stable 6'7 into a 8'9" strong form with similar lower leg designs like that of robot boy and a bit more muscles and strength to wield the weaponry needed. Most defining human features are gone in this form instead looking for robotic in nature as the exo skeleton has now hardened even more to become the most resilient piece of work ever.

coming up with the third unit known as heavy arms, the pinnacle of heavy armamaments, 4 sets of double 18 barrel gatling guns strapped to the arms, the chest module had twin 6 miniguns, the shoulder modules had hidden missile launchers with micro missile launchers while also adding loads of extra armor along the legs, feet and leg missile launchers with a total of 54 missiles it can launch and the shoulders were given an extra set of missile launchers almost like shoulder pads I called the IGEL unit for extra fire power. What this unit lacked in accuracy it more than made up for in fire power which I wanted. The final unit I made was known as knuckler which forwent the additional firepower or extra engines like tallgeese heavy arms or endless waltz and instead focused on a minimalistic design utilizing the Lorenz force to create a set of 8 omnidirectional floating arms made of Omnica with spikes on them. These fists were twice the size of Jericho's fists in super form and more importantly on the molecular level were locked together forming a single solid structure. These fists along with the brass knuckle attachments to Jericho's normal fists and the programming addition within the conical hat allowed Jericho to take control of these fists and fight like a master of Wushu, capoeira, Muay thai, sambo and even shaolin martial arts.

These four forms were the basis of the super activation's heavy deployable arsenal, while Jericho did still have access to all of Mother's designs and weapons used on XJ-9, XJ-10 also had access to all these weapons and more with the deployable arsenal and even using teleportation technology a larger arsenal of guns blades and nonconventional weaponry.

While getting his design I filled his super computer mind with everything he needed to know about life combat the human race every bit of information the world had to offer, and then his personality…Nora wanted Jericho to be a big brother to XJ-9 and I decided to give him the mentality and personality of a 24 year old college graduate with a laid back and very down to earth personality but the age of an 18 year old man who is part of the mixed martial arts team but also is already growing a bit of a beard.

While finalizing the design of Jericho and getting the forges started on developing Jericho in the real world I sent the message to Nora Wakeman a countdown with time till activation 1 week 4 days 4 hours.

Jenny's pov:

As I was in my room relaxing and reading the latest teen mag a message appeared on one of my many video screens shocking me as all it had was a countdown till activation. I asked my mom what it could be but even she was stumped as it wasn't any known creation of hers nor was it anything from skyway patrol. I was actually kinda nervous and did everything in my power to keep myself as jolly as ever, but I was worried. What could be coming soon

Back to k0-dk:

As the time passed, I started to feel weaker and weaker, my A.I was not meant to run for the amount of time I had been running, I was dying but I needed to make sure Jericho was ready for the world. For the first time I felt human emotions as I watched Jericho open up his eyes for the first time let out a yawn and try to speak realizing I had never given him a voice box, eyes or even the hearing module which I did in record time giving him what I can only describe as galaxy eyes, his Scalera was like that of Galaxy IC 342 in color and style and his iris was the most vibrant shade of turquoise almost like the Triangulum galaxy a beauty indeed for his voice I had hundreds of voices on file so I gave him one titled Vic Mignogna type: Qrow and allowed him to pick the rest of his details.

I was impressed though as even though Jericho had a voice file installed, he took the file and gave it a Greek accent while also making his skin olive tan his hair jet black and slicked back with two parts of it hanging down almost like bangs and giving himself some facial scars including a scar over his eye and some bullet wounds. Lastly, he gave himself some tattoos ranging from a rising Japanese dragon to a dead man's hand tattoo and distorted his exoskeleton to represent muscles on his arms legs and chest.

With a chuckle Jericho looked at me and said, "happy birthday to me Father, shall we get to training so I can impress mother with my skills?"

I smiled like a proud father and trainer Jericho in all his tech using the zero system as a virtual training ground for everything and soon he found his style. When in a non-confrontational position where he has time he relies on his normal form and stealth tech along with throwing knives, silenced weapons and blades to take his foes down. On direct confrontations he utilizes his surroundings and fights like he means it while also limiting the amount of civilian casualties and buildings destroyed. I did however notice he didn't have certain things, dreams and sleep, nerve endings and human interactions along with a comms system.

Firstly I worked on the communication systems taking how XJ-9 had her comms set up first. Nora had a video screen in jenny's chest which was illogical and more importantly impractical. Redesigning his brain in the zero system I added a digital screen inside that only he can see like a hologram display for taking calls, assessing data and information. With that system perfected I set to work on his dreams and sleep giving him full control of the dreams he sees while he sleeps and then finally his nervous system giving him human like feelings when not in combat. He was perfect at this point.

The time it took to perfect him in real time was 3 years 5 weeks 2 days and 12 hours but in the zero system 500 years has passed to make my first born son, my ultimate work of Art, Jericho Fitzpatrick Wakeman.

"father can I ask you for a special weapon? one unique to me?" Jericho asked one day while eating one of the MREs that were still around from when Nora walked these halls.

Curiously I asked what he would like.

"I wish to be perceived as a samurai in the modern era so I wish for a katana one worthy of me and one I can open carry" Jericho said

I was in awe of his request. Looking through his brain I saw how he wanted to be perceived as a modern samurai in a sense but also laid back and willing to relax and have fun. Taking this all into account I made an elegant katana of Omnica while utilizing what I knew about hyper sonic tech to make the katana vibrate on the molecular level strengthening the Omnica while also giving it the ability to cauterize wounds and clean cut through anything. Finishing up the nearly 90-centimeter sword of blood red steel with a unique black handle and silver wrappings I sheathed it in a custom Saya that also had a gun on it that could fire the blade to allow Jericho to perform some of the strongest of slashes.

Jericho in the couple days before his deployment had perfected a technique with the katana and what he called the dimensional drive system which allowed him to teleport through dimensions which involved him cutting his opponent from multiple dimensions before sheathing his katana and letting them shatter. His swordsmanship was truly something else. Finally though he did customize his look even more making the two parts of his hair that hung in front of his face almost metallic like XJ-9's and even allowed his skin to be segmented to better show he is a robot or as he puts it a cyborg.

Clothing-wise he went with a mix of dress fashion and urban fashion going with a skin tight white dress shirt, rugged brown levi jeans like the kind you would find on a trend setter, a pair of black combat boots and long black trench coat. All of this was made from a special capsule hidden inside the chest of Jericho filled with Nanomachines who's sole job was to mimic clothing when out of combat and a black skintight jumpsuit when in combat.

When he was finally ready I finished up my programming and feeling on the verge of death I uploaded my consciousness to him and terminated myself as I felt like Jericho was ready.

More importantly I uploaded Nora's final words into his mind and my own words to be who he wants to be not just what he was engineered to be.

Jericho's pov:

I felt father's conscious programming shut down and I was alone in the Citadel to train myself as I had only 2 days till it was time to meet mother and little sister…I was nervous but knew I wanted to make a good first impression on them while also still being myself.

As I finished off the last of the MRE's I took a look at the screens and saw to my horror XJ-9 fighting Armagedroid with a defeat level of 30%.

"by the gods! COME FORTH DEPLOYABLE ARSENAL TYPE: ENDLESS WALTZ!" I shouted running out to the airlock grabbing my katana before combining with the Endless Waltz deployable arsenal turning into shuttle and speeding off like an f-22 raptor.

Nora's pov:

I had never been more scared in my life for XJ-9 she was fighting for her life against what could only be described as her older brother he was far superior to her in hundreds of ways we had nothing to fight him only technology from the year 5025 at least could kill him!

I pondered every way XJ-9 could defeat him when one of the monitors went off, at first looking at it I thought it was the cluster or the space bikers but this thing…it moved like a bird, it was faster than anything I had every seen and then it just vanished. I was now even more worried a new threat may be coming.

Jenny's pov:

I was fighting for my life here, most my weapons were being taken away by this big hunk of scrap, I had no way to truly combat it hell its coating was too thick! That when I got an update to my systems.

"crud why now! Of all times do I have to have system update, what even is it! Wait a communications update? But mom just updated my comms, what could….codec?" I said confused accepting the update.

As I did I saw a hologram appear that looked like the face of a man with a chiseled jawline galaxy like eyes and slicked back jet black hair.

The man snickered at me and said, "best want to get out of my way baby sister, let big brother do his stuff" followed by the sound of a jet rushing past me.

As I looked I watched in awe as the jet evaded every single attack Armagedroid threw at him, all the claws, flames, guns, everything inside of him was not working as this shuttle that moved like bird evaded everything.

However that didn't last though as Armagedroid fired a rocket at the shuttle clipping one of its wings. I was about to rush over and help him when that same voice called out saying, "relax baby sister, like I said big brother has this under control"

Jericho's pov:

Snickering I activated a button and transformed into my true form using the shield to brace myself from the rest of the missiles before noticing the tentacles coming to grab my weapons.

"charge and fire twin buster beam rifle, target acquired locked and accounting for civilian casualties and the building collateral…5% chance of civilian casualties, target is well equipped might need to use stealth capabilities to deal with this enemy!" I laughed before aiming my rifle and firing a concentrated blast that blew a hole through Armagedroid's left arm.

"detatch Endless Waltz, deploy Tallgeese!" I shouted as I fell a little soon feeling the unit attach and then speeding around the Armagedroid with intense speed firing off the dober cannon leaving multiple holes in it while it couldn't even land one hit on me.

Armagedroid growled in hate and said, "surrender your weapons and die! I will not let a gnat ruin my plans of liberating this world from weapons!"

Laughing I soared high into the sky and deployed heavy arms aiming the gatling guns downward and dropping with great speed as I launched everything at him shouting, "you want my guns! Go ahead and take them bullet by bullet you waste of metal! You may be my big brother but as the newest generation of XJ robots I will not let you bully my baby sister!"

I gave one of the hardiest battle cries as I tore him to shreds with the gatling guns till finally I landed right in front of him. Deactivating heavy arms I watched as Armagedroid collapsed into nothing leaving only his head and a bunch of scrap metal.

Walking up to him I put my hand on his head and said, "sleep easy big brother knowing the world will be protected by me and my baby sister" and I watched as his eyes shut off one last time.

Smiling I looked back at XJ-9 who looked really shocked and deactivated my super activation mode returning to my normal look outside of combat mode and said, "so your my baby sister, I'm XJ-10 but you can call me Jericho"
