Shattered World

Chapter 7

D3AD_L0X

I blinked as the startup words flickered to life in my vision.

Argh..great. Now a bunch of files are messed up and disorganized..

I remembered going on my own mission to get the…

Oh sh*t. The realization just hit me.

I was caught.

I looked around frantically. There was scientists surrounding me, along with a little girl – about the age of 12 I assume- standing relatively near me. I tried to stay calm as they were closing in on me; their words all blurred. So this is how fear feels like..I had forgotten how it felt. Now it’s here to pay me a visit.

This is exactly how it was back in the past…but..this time..Jason isn’t here with me.

This time, I can’t attack then. They…they are my creators. I can’t just slay them..

They are the ones who are rebuilding Sky..

But I can’t just give myself up.

They’d wipe me clean and fiddle with what’s left of me.

I looked around some more, and made eye contact with the girl. She shrugged, but didn’t do anything else.

Suddenly, a scientist lunged forwards at me. I yelped, and since I was never really good at PVP, I dodged to the side and tore of, running as fast my legs could carry me.

Maybe I could get out..maybe I could-

A gasp of shock escaped my mouth as someone tackled me from behind, yelling things I was beyond capable of comprehending at this point.

Instantly I was surrounded again, and this time I was frantically trying to pull free from them without trying to hurt them.

I shrieked as the little girl I saw earlier press my power button.

--------------------------------*later*-------------------------------------

Again, the words started up in my darkened vision. At this point I had just given up. Let them do what they want to me..just please..

If they do wipe my memory bank, just please reinstall the memory files..I-I still want to know who my friends were and where I came from..

“Well, you seem to be quite troublesome lately..”

I looked up to see the Omega Master standing before me, looking so regal, so calm.

After meeting her gaze for a few seconds, I looked down again.

Apparently guilt decided to join the party and came to visit me again too.

“I-I’m sorry..I just…” I stuttered, trying to explain myself, but my master raised her hand to silence me.

“I do not want to hear it, D3AD_L0X.”

I looked down again.

“There seems to be a mistake in your programming..I’m not sure how it has gone unnoticed during these past few years, but I’m afraid that in order to fix it, we will have to wipe you clean and start again from scratch.”

Hearing that, that would’ve stopped my heart, but since I’m a robot…

I shook my head frantically.

“No, please…don’t reset me..” I squeaked, and looked up pleadingly. “I still want to have my human memories and personality..I still want to be the same person I was..or at least as close as I can get..”

My master sighed and shook her head. “I’m sorry, Ty..but you should’ve thought about that before you went out. We are already struggling to deal with Delta as it is..and we can’t afford to have any other problems from within our base.”

I felt that I was getting close to a system overload. If I was a human right now, I’d be close to tears.

I kept shaking my head. “Then please..if you must reset me..do it..but reinstall my memories and personality..”

The master sighed and shook her head. “I’m sorry..but when you get reset, all your memory files will be saved, stored, and locked some place in your memory bank. Currently, we don’t have the means of opening the files and releasing them back into your mainframe.”

Great, now my system was threatening me to shut itself down.

I tried to struggle, but now I realized that I was firmly restraint from any movement.

Master noticed this. “Sorry, but we couldn’t have you running away again, so we restricted your movement.”

My eyes widened. Sh*t…now all I can do now is just watch helplessly as they take away everything I’ve ever known.

Sky, Jason, Mitch, Jerome..all of them. 

Now cease to exist.

I won’t even remember who they are anymore.

And it was all because of my selfishness.

The little girl from earlier was beckoned by my master to step forward and be the one who would do the “honors”.

She casually walked over to me, and I looked away.

This is it. They are going to kill the last person from Team Crafted.

I sniffed as I felt the girl press and hold my power button. I began to pitifully whimper as I watched, helplessly, as Jerome’s face was ripped from me. Then Mitch’s, then the Mudkip’s, then Ians..

I watched as all the fun times I had playing Minecraft slip away from me, never to be seen again.

I was practically sobbing once they got to Jason. I started to scream as his face was also ripped from my reach.

Then it came to Sky. 

Oh how they love to torcher me so…

I shook my head, still screaming as he was taken from me too.

-------------------------------*Time skip*---------------------------------------------

By the time I was started up, I was sobbing.

Um…can somebody tell me why..?

I...I can’t seem to remember anything anymore..

I mean…I know I am a robot..but..I don’t know anything else..

Who am i?

Where am i?

Who are these people looking at me?

Why can’t I feel anything?

I blinked. Is this how I’m supposed to feel?

A person in a white science-lab coat approached me.

“Hello. I am your Master, the leader of Omega. We are the ones who created you.”

I nodded.

At least this person was nice enough. Maybe she can tell me more about myself and the world around me…
