Brave New World

The year is 3058. The world is crumbling. Once grand cities fall to a slow decay as the years become darker and darker. People live huddled around barrels of fire for warmth, dodging the bricks as they fall. Everyday street fights kill innocent people. Sometimes they are over something as simple as a mere scrape of edible trash.

Technology was once at its highest. By the year 3000 hovercrafts were the only way to travel. Television was a fading fad. Virtual realities took its place where you could be in the movie standing among the characters. Robots could think for themselves.

As the technology increased life became easier. Eventually people didn't need to go to work, the robots did it all. In order to have the perfect mechanical worker they were programmed with the capability of original thought. This individual thought gave them the power to see the world as theirs. They slaughtered their creators and ran free. They ran around killing the humans they found. Their goal was to rule the earth. To wipe out of the humans.

The result of their cause is the present. In the year 3058 the world is in chaos. It comes down to this:

Save all humanity or die.

Appearance:

I scanned the desert. A mechanical beast was walking on all fours in front of me, growling. Suddenly it lunged. I lifted my ray gun and fired at its chest. The monster fell to the ground, the lights fading from its eyes.

I stuffed my ray gun in my belt, hidden by my raggy trench coat, and raised my hood. I ran back to the city. People watched me with large, sad eyes. This was pathetic. I crouched down as an explosion sounded in the distance. That was nothing new. Every day was a war for our lives.

I walked into the tavern, one of the only open businesses. Tossing down a few coins I ordered a drink and slumped down in my chair.

Appearance:

I ran down the street. As i did so i picked a rouge robot off of some poor man, and ripped its head of. Wires crakling and sparking. One, two, three. Boom!! An explosion shook the ground and i covered my head from falling glass. I looked up and smiled. One of my best bombs yet. I turned and saw at least 50 robots charging at me. Ehh. Im not in the mood. I knelt down then shot up into the air.

I flew off a little closer to the edge of the city and landed hard and fast. Leaving a ittle indent in the broken street. I walked into the tavern across the street and sat down at the bar.; ▶ Reply to This

Age: ?
Power: Beam rifles in arms and heat and x-ray sensory scanners.
Personality: A "malfunctioned" machine who sees everything on the planet as a pure being, and that everything deserves a right to live. Is currently an outcast because of this belief, and tries to fight for the right to protect all life on the planet and rebuild Mother Earth to her former glory. He's a pacifist.
Appearance:

I sighed as I took my steps forwards, cautious of my next step. I was in a large desert, pretty much no signs of life to be seen. So why was I being cautious? Cause I was being hunted. By machines. My own race. They called me a heretic, and I instantly became a target to destroy, along with the humans. I never saw why they had to do such a thing.

Humans had created us to help make their lives easier, and in the process became lazy and obese. But That didn't give us machines a right to turn on them and kill them. That pretty much made us no better than they were. I never attacked a human. I was never built to destroy. Well, I was. But I never wanted to. I just wanted to see that everyone was happy.

I continued walking and thought of my history. Because I was a robot, I was supposed to see organic life as an obsolete form on this planet, and that they were destroying it. The only solution, to destroy them. But I never wanted to. I just one day thought that it was wrong. I've never killed anyone or anything. God supposedly created life on this planet, and a commandment he had made for the humans was "Thou shalt not kill."

I never understood why they would turn on that. Probably because the laws of God faded into nothing s the centuries passed. Supposedly, all life is precious. All life should be kept sacred. Then why does anyone kill? I stopped walking and collapsed to the ground. "Nothing makes any sense," I said to myself as I stared at the sky. Even though this world was dying, there was still life here.

A loud gunshot broke my concentration. I shot upwards and looked all around. I couldn't see anything. I closed my eyes, which were a blood red color, then opened them. This time, they were a dull blue. Through my vision, I saw dozens of blob-like shapes nearby. They were human shapes.

'I should probably avoid them, or else something bad would happen,' I thought to myself, turning slightly and walking away. I looked back and closed my eyes. I opened them to reveal they had gone into a gray color. I saw through the walls and counted at least a dozen humans in there.

Suddenly, I felt a tremor pass under me. I looked down to see a worm-like machine drilling towards the bar. MY eyes widened and I sprinted towards the bar. 'They need to get out of there,' I thought to myself as I tried to think of a way to stop all this without killing anything.; ▶ Reply to This

It was filled with a bunch of bums. Guess I wasn't one to be talking. Suddenly I heard a scream outside. Standing up I saw a robot boy burst in. People madly tried to get away and hide. I pulled my raygun out. People stared at me in horror, most people didn't stand ip to the buckets of bolts. "This thing ain't a toy," I said as I aimed it at his chest. "I made it myself. I recommend you leave," I hissed narrowing my eyes as people cried out in fear around me.; ▶ Reply to This

I was a hair trigger away from having my servo fried. I swallowed and was able to mutter, "Run," before the entire tavern began to quake.; ▶ Reply to This

The ground started to shake and i looked outside. Dangit. I ran out of the tarvern. Everybody started running away from the tavern deeper into the city. Crap crap crap! I took out my guns and did the thing anybody wanting to die would do. I ran towards the drill. Of course. i wasnt going to die.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by ManOfManyFaces on September 13, 2009 at 3:02am: I was pushed out of the way, well, shoved really, when the humans rushed outside. I saw the giant robotic worm screeching as they all advanced. Their weapons were raised and aimed at it. My eyes widened and I ran for the nearest person as she squeezed the trigger.

"DON'T!" I yelled, knocking her aim off course by tackling into her. I felt my joints go haywire for a second, and realized she was doing something to me. Without even moving? 'Technopath!' I thought as she struggled.

"GET OFF ME!" she exclaimed, raising her gun. The other humans had turned and taken their aim. I saw a small cannon slide from the machines mouth. My arm turned into a long rifle and I shot its cannon, knocking a blast clean off course.

They all looked in shock at what had happened. The female punched my face. Hard. I flew off and stared up as she put her foot on my chest and aimed at my head. "Why'd you make me miss?" she said coldly. "And why'd you stop that thing?" she said, gesturing at the machine, which was trying to balance itself.

I swallowed and stared at her in the eyes. "Because no one has the right to take another person's life. Even if it's artificial."

"What the hell is up with you. Were in a frekin war and if we dont kill that thing it will kill us. This is the only sheltered area for miles, and your telling us to just run away and leave. You think well listen to you. Your a frekin robot! The very race that is trying to exterminate us!" I said angrily. I flew up into the air and aimed my gun at the back of the worms neck.

"No!" The robot boy flew up infront of me. Knocking Xenon, who had her foot on his chest, off balance.

"Get out of my way. I will do anything to save My race. That includes shooting you in the head." I said darkly.; ▶ Reply to This
