Metallic Rogue

Fusion, Extraction And Ascent

Jayden rolled on the ground while sweating bullets, his face contorted and twisted with surprising speed. Seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours, it took all his will power to not pass out at that moment, he endured the pain until it began to slowly subside.

Jayden sighed in relief, the Orb which had fully fused with him released a weird energy that slowly calmed his tensed muscles and relieved him of his pain.

He felt his chest and saw that the Orb had entered his chest and was faintly glowing with energy. It released a soothing feeling that made his mind calm, he clenched his fists realizing that his strength had increases slightly.

[Creation Orb has completed its fusion]

[Will host like to begin extraction of the Radianium Ore?]

"Yes. duhh!!"

[Extraction will now begin]

Jayden felt a small ball of light eject from his chest and disappear into the ground.

[Extraction 1%]

"Jarvis."Jayden called out but didn't get a reply.

[Jarvis has fused with me]

[Now I can perform all tasks Jarvis could do, faster and with better efficiency]

"Ok. What should I call you."

[I suggest you give me a name host]

"I'll think of one but first of all, bring up my stats."

[Rogue Surbodinates - None]

"Hmm...what's a rogue surbodinate?" Jayden asked as he saw the new tab.

[A Rogue Surbodinate is an underline that will help us in our cause. They are loyal to the host and will support the host in anyway possible]

"How do I get a Rogue Surbodinate?"

[You have to find an individual that is interested in joining you and offer them the choice to be your surbodinate, when they accept, their name will appear under the Rogue Surbodinate tab]

"Is it possible to accept other races to be my surbodinate?"

[Yes]

"What about beasts?"

[I can't say because it hasn't been proven yet]

"Let's try first to be sure."

[Extraction 69%]

"I forgot to ask, how are Creation Orbs created?"

[Sorry host, but I am too low leveled to know that]

'Hmm... was it created by some supreme being?' Jayden thought.

"How long did it take you to find a proper host system?"

[It took me five seconds and at the same time, six hundred years]

"What? How?"

[Time is a concept that hasn't been fully understood even in the future where I come from host, but since I am an infinitely evolving AI I might be able to understand time in it's entirety if I study it]

"Infinitely evolving?"

[Yes, I was created to understand, analyse and make use of the data and information I procure]

[Extraction Complete]

A pitch black ore the size of a car burst out of the ground, it had purple gem like stones embedded randomly in it, it was rough and looked sharp, Jayden reached out to touch it's rough surface, he didnt have a good feeling when touching it. It made his palm tingle and goose bumps appeared all over his arm.

"Are you going to use all this ore to craft my Mech Suit?"

[Yes, every single ton of ore will be used]

Jayden gawked at the 'mountain sized' ore and wondered how the Rogue system was going to do it. 'Will I be a twenty meter tall war machine, that certainly won't be good, it'll restrict my movements and it will be hard to get used to. Let's see what it'll look like first before I judge.'

"Now that everything's done, can we get out of here?"

[Prepare to jump]

"How I'm I gonna jump all the way up there?" Jayden said pointing above him.

[I will take temporary control of your Mech Suit and with that I can channel energy in a way to boost your strength for a split second]

Hearing this Jayden felt his Mech Suit begin to move.

[Don't resist]

Jayden felt the energy being drawn out of the Creation Orb. It flowed gently down his chest to his legs, before suddenly solidifying.

[Now]

Jayden for some reason knew what to do, he crouched down and pushed off his feet with stunning speed. The ground cracked and burst apart due to the sudden explosion of power, Jayden traveled through the air at an amazing speed, he was shocked not expecting the Creation Orb to give him that kind of strength. Even if it was for just a split second, it felt wonderful, he was flying.

"I should do this more often." Jayden said with deep smile on his face.

[I suggest you don't do that host]

"Why?"

[Sudden temporary increase in strength that your body can't handle will lead to it breaking down due to over exertion]

Finishing his talk with the Rogue System, Jayden landed on his feets safely before immediately remembering something.

"Shit! shit! shit! How could I have forgotten." Jayden cursed as he pulled his hair in frustration.

[Forgot what host?]

"Those minotaurs that where killed in the collapse of the building, I forgot to harvest their crystals. Ohh... fuck!"

[It was a good thing you didn't]

"Explain yourself before I bash your head in." Jayden said with rage forgetting that the Rogue System was not physically present.

[Those minotaurs where at the Sovereign level with two being at the Monarch level]

[If you had gotten any closer to them, they would have recovered instantly and bashed your head in]

"Oh I see what you're doing there. Bash my head in right. Wait till i do just that to you."

[You can't]

"...." Jayden had no words to say he just turned to his left and began to walk, it was dark and he needed to find shelter.

As he walked, he stumbled upon the place where Derrick had beaten him up together with his teammates before throwing him into the Devil's Abode. He grinded his teeth against each other and spoke with anger dripping in every word.

"Just you wait Derrick. I'm coming for you."
