c y b e r c u b e {A Deadlox Fanfic}

o n e

   It's a normal day. Normal gray clouded sky, normal cold, normal grayness.

If you can call that normal. I mean; your born into this world with a sense of grayness- no sunlight, no animals, just gray. Sure there are trees, plants, mountains. Mother Nature knows her way- if she's gonna make a mountain with a few tectonic plates she's gonna do it.

I see it gray, all gray lies and all gray depth and all gray. Colorless.

I've only seen a clear, bright blue sky once in my life.

It was a horrible day. My best friend nearly died. I guess that's how he picked his Hacker Name. Sky.

Now I call him that everyday of my life- and he calls me Deadlox. It isn't bad but I miss calling him by his real name and I'm sure he does the same with my name.

But I guess keeping each other safe comes first. Our home safe. Our group.

Home. Nothing much- on a hot spot in the middle of no where; it was named Hawaii at one point but now it's just a hot spot after the volcanos erupted there; killing thousands of people, animals, and life all together.

Then the contents forms Pangaea Ultima about ten years ago. The weather was all messed up. Deserts in some places, mountains and snow in the next.

We moved out of our home to a mountain side. We dug into the mountain, and started stealing. We made a home there- and we are still here. Just; bigger. More confident. Stronger.

I know that for a fact.

Today.

It all changes.

My whole life- someone that can be feared will finally be me! Everyone has made fun of my, jeered me, pushed me around. But not today- I'm going to be the most feared solider of them all!

I will finally get respect!

My mom kissed my head, ruffled my hair and hugged me twice. It's hard for her. But she'll be fine, she has two other kids that will grow up to be smart and strong. I'll just be respected.

I'll be known.

I hugged my younger siblings goodbye as well. I'll miss their annoying jokes and pestering laugher- but there kids. They have a whole life to laugh and play.

Now I'm walking on a hard dirt road. I'm nearing the Capitol of our poor city- where I'll be shipped away and going to the Labs, where I'll become a CyberlIfe.

I started walking more, proud. Brushing my soft brown hair out of the way, I walked faster. And faster. I couldn't wait to get there- I'll bring happiness and protection to my family! Finally!

I'll do better than my lying, thieving dad who took everything away from us. I swear I will.

"Hey. Kid. Listen. Your name is Jimmy Steqo, right?" A jerking voice pulled me out of my mind. I've speed walked here. Oh- well then. "Oh- uh- yeah sorry. My name is Jimmy Stego. Sorry." I muttered again, biting my lip. The guard snorted and rolled his eyes. I was waiting in line- a lot of people showed up- to become a CyberlIfe. "Age 16?" The guard asked again.
