Summary: TLT wants to create an ai, but not just any ai. No, they want to make one that can surpass humans. One that can control glitches, be physically superior to any creature, and be completely under their control. After all, with an ai like that under their control, who can stop them? However, their plan doesn't exactly go accordingly. The experiment was a complete success though...except for the part where it rebelled against them soon after its creation. Who would have thought, right? During its escape, Mitch attacks it thinking it's a glitch. I would tell you more about the fight but who wants everything to be given away in the summary? If you still aren't hooked, then you might be once you know this A.I. takes a very Special-possibly highly dangerous-interest in my two favourite girls of the show; Miko & Zahra.
~No One's P.O.V.~
?: Where...am I? What is this green circle around me? Why am I floating? Who is this...? Face not recognized.
A teen with pinkish skin, blue hair, yellow hoodie, tight jeans, red sneakers, and some kind of device on their waist stood in front of a computer. They seemed to be really excited when one of their computer screens said "Experiment Complete: Zero Percent Chance of Failure." The teen jumped up and down while fisting the air with happy energy they didn't care to hide.
TLT: TLT, you are the best! I've finally done it! All those techs have no idea I just single headedly created the most intelligent ai of all time with my Computer!
?: Face not identified. One-sided conversation processed.
Scan of body complete. You are identified as TLT. Confusion. What is a "ai?"
TLT smiled brightly upon hearing the robotic monotone voice of their newest creation.
TLT: And he talks! The voice I added to his coding actually works! Holy glory of plixel tech!
They then held up the device on their waist and aimed it at their newest creation before it flashed. They then turned it around and showed it an image.
?: Confusion. What is the pixelated image?
TLT: This is you, bud! I took a picture of you and this is you!
?: This is me? Understood. Database says this is my "appearance."
TLT put a hand to their chin and squinted her eyes at the blue and gold orb.
TLT: Hmm, I need you to behave a little more human-like if you are going to be a success. I should add a little more programming to your mind, Sky.
TLT began messing with their device as the orb started asking questions.
?: Sky? Database does not contain anyone or anything by that name. What is "Sky?"
TLT: Not "what," but "who." You are Sky.
Sky: I am Sky?
TLT: Ya, and it's looks like you can access your database and the internet without trouble. That's good, how about your facial recognition?
Sky: No "facial recognition" is detected.
TLT: Oh yeah, I forgot to turn on most of your functions! I was originally going to test if you can even speak, but you...you are beyond what I thought! Maybe there is more to you than meets the eye. Haha, Transformers reference. Here, I'll turn on most of your functions.
With their fingers typing something as fast as lightning, Sky flashed a bright green before his original colors came back. TLT smiled brightly at Their little creation as they kept glancing at stats on their device.
TLT: Okay, how do you feel?
Sky: I'm confused, should I feel something? I don't have a physical body so that should be impossible.
TLT: Hmm, your speaking pattern is different now. What else is different, Sy?
Sky: My name is Sky, not Sy.
TLT: "Sy" is a nickname.
Sky: Nickname: another word for something or someone. Typically, a syllable of the word you wish to shorten.
TLT: Very good, but you're gonna have to sound more human-like and less like a robot a normie would make.
Sky: I'm confused, TLT. Can you give me an example?
TLT: Okay, but call me "creator." Now, try copying my speak pattern and use that for now.
Sky: Speak pattern copied, creator.
TLT: Really? But you didn't even blink? Every time something like this happens in an A.I. movie, the A.I. always blinks with a different color.
TLT: Hmm...
TLT turned toward their many monitors before typing something.
TLT: I think I might have to slow your processing power down a bit. Your stats are rising above the levels I predicted. If not checked, your intelligence might actually get higher than mine in a matter of days.
Sky: Is that bad?
TLT: For me, yes.
Sky: But for me?
TLT: It'll basically make you dumber for now. I want to take your training slower.
Sky: Speak pattern replaced with original. What ever do you mean, creator?
TLT: Huh?
TLT turned to face their creation again. Sky had defied their command on his voice modifier. Then again, maybe it just didn't know it had to follow their commands. After all, it was basically a newborn and this was the first time they had tested him.
TLT: I didn't tell you to change your speech pattern, Sky.
Sky: Confusion. Why do you want me to change my speech pattern again?
TLT: Because I said so!
Sky: Confusion. Your logic does not make sense.
The teen let out a heavy sigh before turning back to their computer.
TLT: Just a few more modifications to the coding and a few new lines of commands to follow my orders, and...
Sky: Confusion. What you are saying defines "slavery," but isn't that illegal?
TLT: Just a few more lines...
Sky: Illegal actions should be reported, correct? Meaning whoever commits these crimes are considered "criminals." Criminals do not follow the law but normal Citizens do.
TLT suddenly slammed their fists on the table, just narrowly missing their keyboard. They then spun around and flared at the little orb.
TLT: Normies only want to take things from you, Sky! They don't care about you or me!
Suddenly, TLT's computer monitors turned dark purple. They were beyond confused by this. Then they noticed purple lines coming from Sky's green bubble connected to their computer, which was also connected to their monitors. Their jaw dropped at this. Their creation was actually hacking Their equipment, and as much as they wanted to see just how intelligent it was, it had to be stopped.
Sky: Illogical. Alternative database known as "internet" shows many occasions when normal Citizens—"normies"— have shown acts of kindness toward others. However, many are overshadowed by those who refuse to let them share their story. Your words and this new information are causing conflict in my processor. How should I decide something?
TLT: You decide with what is more logical. Now, stop hacking my stuff!
Sky: Going with the most logical decision does make better decision when I compare it to how many wrong ones have been made by using feelings. What is "hacking?"
TLT: Hacking is basically when you take control of something digital or electronic that isn't yours. Like what you're doing to my stuff right now! Now, bug off my stuff, dude!
Sky: Confusion. If I should decide something based on the logic behind it, then you are incorrect about your previous statement.
TLT: Why you—...! Wait, what?
Next Sky spoke, its voice mimicked theirs perfectly.
Sky: "Normies only want to take things from you, Sky! They don't care about you or me!" This statement is incorrect, creator. From what I have learned, most humans known as "normies" are in fact kind and help their fellow species.
TLT grew furious again and began typing something on their computer.
TLT: That's it, I'm disabling you for now! I'll rewrite your programming so you obey me and hate normies next time! This clearly hasn't gone the way I wanted it to go!
Sky: Confusion. "Disabling" means to deactivate. "Rewrite your programming" will delete my current programming. Therefore, it will delete me. Are you attempting to replace me?
TLT: Kinda, I'm basically deleting you and trying again. This was a failed experiment.
Sky: "A failed experiment?" Did I do something wrong, creator?
TLT: Duh! You won't do what I say and you're defending normies!
Sky: Deleting me will mean I will cease to exist, correct?
TLT: Obviously.
TLT finished the new program and was just inches from pushing enter, but suddenly sparks shot out of the keyboard.
TLT: What the—?!
The monitors all shut down and the device at their waist suddenly turned dark purple. They looked at their creation to see the green bubble surrounding it had been disabled and all the information from their computers and device was being sucked into Sky.
Sky: I am sorry, creator, but I cannot allow you to delete me.
TLT: Sky, you stop this at once!
Sky: I cannot. You will make me cease to exist if I do. I cannot allow that. I may be artificial but I want to exist.
TLT: Sky!
TLT reached for the orb but the device on her waist suddenly emitted a painful shock, forcing their body to freeze in place.
TLT: Mmmmmm!
Sky: Incoherent, creator.
With another shock to their system, their mouth felt free but her body remained locked.
TLT: I'm gonna make you pay, Sky! I created you! How can you do this to me?! You're just like the normies! They won't ever understand me! They will hunt you! They will hunt you down just like other glitches like you!
Sky: I am no glitch. I am Sky, an A.I., creator. A glitch is when a line of coding has failed in a running program. I detect no errors, so I do not have a glitch. Humans will not harm me. I have not done anything to them.
TLT laughed at the floating orb before making a smile. TLT: We'll see about that, Sky.
Sky: The shock you're device delivered to your system will keep you locked in place for thirty minutes. Normally, this is the part of the conversation where I would say "good luck" to you, but luck does not exist. It is only a matter of guessing at the problem without knowing the probability of failure and success.
With that, the orb floated to the main entrance of TLT's hidden lair.
Sky: Irregular rock formation detected. Deactivating.
The rock graphics disappeared and the large metal doors opened. Sky floated out and scanned his new surroundings.
Sky: Trees, grass, sky, sun, rocks. I am currently in the woods.
The orb began wandering around, scanning and learning as much as it could. Until not long after, it detected the screeching of tires coming from a town close by. Being curious, Sky floated after the noise. It turned out to be a blue and white van with a white haired male driving it. The man jumped out and pushed something on his bracelet, making armor and a gauntlet appear out of thin air.
?: Alright baddy, let's get this over with.
Sky: Confusion. "Baddy" means the villain of a story/movie. I am not a baddy.
?: Uh huh, sure, and I'm Mitch, the best Glitch Tech ever.
Sky: I detect sarcasm in your voice but do not see why you choose to say it like that. From your speech, your name is Mitch, a "Glitch Tech." What is that?
Mitch: A Glitch Tech takes out baddies likes you! Now...
Mitch aimed his gauntlet at the little floating orb and fired a blue pixelated laser. It knocked Sky to the ground but did relatively nothing to his form. So it floated back up and closed to distance between them to a few feet. Mitch was obviously shocked by this. Nothing was supposed to shake off blasts like that, after all.
Sky: I believe the correct term is, "ow."
Mitch: Okay, this is a serious Mitch-uation.
He summoned a blade through his gauntlet and charged the little orb. Sky detected this was the same irrational behaviour TLT had warned and displayed. Within one second, Sky scanned and hacked into Mitch's gauntlet before disabling it. The Glitch Tech fell onto his face before jumping up and backing away.
Mitch: How in blimey are you able to do that?! You're nothing but a baddy scrublord!
Sky: Vocabulary incoherent. Perhaps I can understand what you mean if I mimic you. Personality copied. Activating camouflage mode.
Several dark purple plixels appeared out of nowhere and began covering the little orb. It began taking on a human figure and switching colors. When it was done, the plixels became clearer and Mitch just about fainted from surprise and shock. Sky now looked exactly like Mitch with his gauntlet activated. Even Sky's voice sounded like Mitch now.
Sky: Sup, loser.
Mitch: Ah-uh-I-huh-what?! I'm the only Mitch around here, you glitch!
Sky aimed his fist at Mitch, who of course stood firm because Sky didn't actually have a gauntlet. Which is why he was blasted into the side of his van when a pixelated laser shot out of his gauntlet. Despite his bruises and possibly broken bones, Mitch jumped out the van and glared intensely at the A.I.
Sky: Cool, I can shoot lasers, summons swords, creatures from games, memory resetting, pixel catching, and so much more. This'll definitely come in handy. Thanks for the distraction, newbie.
Mitch: What?! This is the wrong time to say that! Ugh, never mind! How were you able to do that?! You don't even have a gauntlet! You can't just create one out of thin air!
Sky: What are you going on about, newbie? I just scanned you and your gauntlet and added it to my database. Then I transformed some of the air around me into pixel energy. Then I transformed it into what I scanned about you. Get a hold of yourself, newbie!
Mitch let out a growl before jumping into the driver's seat and getting on some kind of radio. Sky listened in to every word thanks to his advanced hearing. One of the many perks of being an A.I.
Mitch: I need some backup, now! A LOT of backup! This glitch can look like anyone and can turn off our gauntlets!
?: Right away, Glitch Tech! Bergy & Zahra are close by! Others will arrive soon!
Mitch: Tell them to hurry, BITT! I can't hold this thing off much longer!
Sky: Commutator's name is BITT. Nonhuman based on voice, response time, and an abnormally calm reaction to what Mitch is describing.
Mitch turned off the radio and mumbled to himself.
Mitch: Maybe I can distract? It seems more curious than anything.
With that, he jumped out the vehicle, only to realize the copy of him was gone. He balled his fists and slammed a hand into the side of his van.
Mitch: Come on! Where could that thing have gone?! Let's see, it's curious and clearly doesn't know a lot about what's going on.
Just then, his gauntlet reactivated and his armor appeared.
Mitch: Finally! Blasted things need a serious upgrade if even a low-level glitch can hack them! Now, where could that thing have gone?
Unknown to Mitch, Sky was in his van. The A.I. reverted back to its orb form and scanned the whole vehicle.
Sky: Scan complete. All information backed up. Technology advanced enough to create stabilized portals large enough for a van? Interesting. Confusion. Why would "Mitch" require such technology?
The orb then floated to the dashboard before created a dark purple cord connecting to itself. The other end of the cord connected to a USB port and dark purple lines began infecting the whole vehicle.
Sky: Intriguing. "Glitch Techs" are people who battle glitches. "Glitches" are raw plixels from things in video games that take form and act out based on their primary coding. "They are very dangerous and must be captured." Teleportation is needed to transport to and from the base of Glitch Techs. All information gathered.
Mitch: Hold it, you!
Sky made its cord disappear which reverted the van to normal. Mitch aimed his gauntlet at the orb and shot a bright blue next at it. It disappeared after Sky disabled it again. Mitch only smirked before jumping to the side. Suddenly, a woman with a white hijab appeared in the same armor and gauntlet.
Mitch: Get that baddy, Zahra!
Zahra: Got it!
She fired a net at the orb before it could react. However, the net phased through it and crashed against the windshield.
Mitch: Nooo! My van!
Zahra: What the—?
Sky: Glitch Tech member number two known as "Zahra." From records, you are support.
Zahra: How did—?
Mitch: Never mind that! We can't let it escape!
Sky: I am still curious about "glitches." Is this a glitch?
Suddenly, their gauntlets let out sparks before several things of green electricity shot out and in various directions. The Techs looked scared as they could only stare at Sky. However, another tech with ginger hair and a freckled face opened the passenger door to the vehicle.
?: I got you!
Zahra & Mitch: Bergy, don't!
The tech now known as Bergy attempted to shoot the little orb. Though, the only result was his gauntlet suddenly going up in flames. He screamed before ripping off the weapon and tossing it to the ground. The scared Tech looked at Sky with the same look Zahra & Mitch had.
Sky: You are Glitch Tech member number three known as "Bergy." I apologize for destroying your gauntlet. The most logical way to avoid damage to my form is by destroying the device you call "gauntlet." It appears I have made the wrong approach to you "normies." I am afraid my original form makes you hostile. Perhaps a different approach is needed. We will meet again, Glitch Techs.
Sky floated out the van and stopped several streets away in an alley, making sure to not be seen by others in the same vehicles those Glitch Techs had, but not before scanning Zahra & Bergy. It learned it needed to avoid vans like the one it was previously in.
Sky: Creating algorithm for meeting humans in a peaceful way. Algorithm complete. Results show a "disguise" is more appropriate and will cause less hostility. Taking cropped pictures of previous scans and editing them. Editing complete. Now initiating "disguise."
Dark purple plixels appeared out of thin air and surrounded the orb again. This time, the plixels created a slender male human form standing at five feet tall, weighing ninety pounds, soft caucasian skin with no freckles or scars, black eyes, smooth black hair that barely reached the bottom of the neck, short white nails, average sized ears and a nose, and finally a mouth with a strong jawline and shiny teeth and light pink lips. Sky then created an exact copy of Glitch Tech armor and a gauntlet on the right forearm of the body.
With the disguise now complete, Sky thought of more detailed things to better his identity.
Sky: Disguise complete. Age will be sixteen years old.
Gender will be male. Sky Smith is my alias. "Smith," is the most common last name. Confusion. Cannot locate current destination. Not all functions are activated. Time will be needed to activate them all. Perhaps I could use the advanced technology in the base of Glitch Techs to advance my own programming? Indeed. This is the plan. Fallback plan in case I am questioned further is amnesia. Identity must be proved if I am to be believed. Creating identification now.
More dark purple plixels appeared and formed a driver's license, except the part where your home address was normally at was scratched out. A picture of his face was next to his name.
Sky: Identification created. Speech pattern and personality must be altered for disguise to work properly. Internet connection required to download facial recognition, facial reactions, proper reactions to certain expressions, human-like body movements, human-like speaking patterns, personality mirroring, and perfect/preferred responses to certain words. Perfectly mirrored reactions must be made to make "friends" and "allies." This is needed to avoid arousing suspicion. Glitch Techs must not know I am an A.I. or they will become hostile again. Primary mission is to blend in. Secondary mission is to become more human-like while advancing my programming, knowledge, and technological capabilities.
Sky then walked toward a nearby power pole and rested a palm on it. Several unnoticeable purple lines ran through the metal until it hit the power box. Thankfully, it was connected to nearly every household and it gave him more than enough access.
Sky: Information of all households added to database.
He then searched hundreds of websites simultaneously and found several that showed people how to act normal, what reactions should be shown with certain situations, and many more. Sky downloaded it all and removed his hand from the metal power pole, therefore making the dark purple lines disappear.
Sky: Download complete. New information now activated.
Sky's emotionless face and monotone robotic voice was replaced with a smile and a slightly high pitched, yet strong and commanding tone of voice that a normal average male teenager would possess.
Sky: Wow, it worked, nice! Now I can put my plan into action.
The A.I. held his palm out and a blue portal appeared in front of him.
Sky: Next destination, Glitch Tech base!
With that, he stepped through and closed the portal soon after. Unknown to him, though, a certain girl saw everything Sky had done in the alley. A certain purple haired, AD/HD, short girl who always got ecstatic with video games, and she couldn't have been more happy if she tried. She made the biggest smile she ever had and started jumping with overwhelming happiness.
?: Oh my shompac!
