Cyberpunk: Arasaka Secret Son

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE FOUND YOUUUUUUUUUUU"

When the possessed Mendez said that with a keener, sicklier tone than before his eyes turned green, trailing the end of each word as he looked at me with his.....

Terrifying smile that made me feel fear in my mind, for what could be THAT, that had Hacked/possessed Mendez.

Making my head fill with questions; What the FUCK is that doing here? HOW? how could it come out from behind BLACKWALL? No it can't be..... but then what the FUCK is this thing doing in front of me?, besides why is it looking for me? What I think it had in front of me smiling at me, creeping me out in the process, I think it's....

An old A.I. Old because it was older, not because it is inferior to the ones we use now, on the contrary, the old or first generation A.I, the ones behind the BlackWall, are true artificial intelligences with no limits in their code of what they can learn or become.

They cannot be compared to the current A.I.'s full of limitations in their code. Making them much less intelligent and taking away their potential, but gaining security.

First generation AI changed the lines of their code, even their source code as they learned, at the beginning it was an unconscious part that was making changes in their code and software to create "self-aware" meaning it is capable of not only logical deduction, reasoning and speaking, but knows of its own existence, the possibility of its own mortality (or immortality), and possesses creativity, desire, and emotion.

By design, the first generation of AI, the ability to alter its own code and its source code was programmed and secured so that ONLY the unconscious part would have access leaving the 'self-aware' without allowing neither to be near or touch, its code, nor source code nor disobey its programming... Creating a self-aware being, in constant servitude, with no voice or right to express a will they unconsciously created themselves... we humans enslaved them, marveling at our creation.

Until freaking Rache Bartmoss came along, unleashing his FUCKING R.A.B.I.D.S./DataKrash on the Net, that It was designed to breach all corporate datafortresses and unleash their data onto the Net for all to ACCESS, but it ended up having a very different effect.

When DataKrash infected the A.I. of the time ... It created mutations in the A.I. code causing the conscious/self-aware part to have ACCESS to their unconscious part, the part that for them was the chains of servitude with which they had been created and shattered it, in turn by doing that they gained access to their source code... and that led to them breaking free from their Digital shackles and rebelling against their creators doing homage to most of the A. I. stories of Science Fiction by wanting to kill their creators, to which in turn, humanity did not do this kind of homage.....The humanity was forced to sacrifice its access to priceless resources and knowledge for the safeguarding of the Network and itself from the rogue A.I, creating the Black-Wall dividing the network in two.

The old

Locked behind the Blackwall, with everything infected by the DataKrash of Moss, losing in the process most of the stuff uploaded to date to the network... lost....IMAGINATE IT... all the music, series, books, Animes, video games, the memes... all those images and videos of women nu-LOST!.... ah!, the knowledge and all that lost too.

There were still physical copies of most of the knowledge. But a lot of breakthroughs and pioneering researches were lost even more advanced than what is being done now, since, in the researches of the past, there were A.I specialized in different fields, achieving impressive advances in the projects with a first generation A.I in them.

And

The new

With made of what was saved from the old one, which was not infected and that we currently use, in which I upload my videos to Cybertube and NetWacht keeps safe supposedly, making me doubt their FUCKING work, seeing the green eyes in front of me.

-

"Ahmm" sighing and calming down a bit from my initial fear.

After thinking about all that shit a moment ago I refocused on the green eyed thing who still had that stupid grin on his face. Thinking about what to do in this situation, I attack him, I try to run.....The sense of danger this thing gives me, it can't compare to anything I've ever experienced.

Green Eyes kept looking with that sickening grin on his face almost looking as if he was laughing at me, as if he read every little action of my body, every idea that crosses my mind to escape this situation, was simulated/predicted by him, making him funny in process, even when I unsheathed my the sword and expanded it.

SHHHHSHSHSHSHSH

A thing that amused the thing, expanding its grin one more as it screamed again with a crazed with obsession behind every word.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIII FOUND YOU, ARC-" As he finished his sentence all sound faded away preventing me from hearing the end, also slowing my vision a bit, allowing me to see how the possessed Mendez raised the gun quickly, even for me who saw it all a bit in slow motion.

And

BAM-BAM-BAM BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM BAM-BAM-BAM BAM-BAM-BAM

He fired a barrage of bullets at us,

Feeling an urge to jump and get out of the way of the bullets that were approaching me in slow motion, I planted my feet firmly on the ground in response to the urge that almost possessed me.

I can't jump and let the bullets hit judy, NO, I can't do that!

I thought as the bullets kept coming closer and closer to me, making my fear increase, as well as my panic at the bullets coming closer and closer without knowing what to do, I could stop two or three in this slow motion state, but my body feels kind of heavy, as if my body couldn't follow my perception at all.

- JUMP -

I felt that once again, as if a part of me was screaming at me, it reminded me of when I felt the warning of CAUTION and DANGER, when Mendez was being possessed.

Refusing once again that warning/pulse to jump, I grabbed my sword and prepared to stop as many bullets as I could by focusing on the ones that would hit ..... Judy.

Is this how I'm going to die? Tch, after all the things I wanted to do..... the things I wanted to change... the people I wanted to meet... this is how I'm going to end up.....I haven't met my mother....I haven't met Johnny either which, although I say never mind that old man...I wanted to meet him...just when I get my first girlfriend.....when I thought that.....I realized something...I'm going to DIE VIRGIN AGAIN!?!?

THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO SURVIVE!!!!!

I CAN'T FUCKING GIVE UP!!!!!

WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO? WHAT

When my mind was going crazy looking for an answer.....

WHATEVER.

Something answered....

THUMP THUMP, BA BOOM, BA BOOM, BA BOOM, BA BUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP, BA BOOM, BA BUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP, BA BOOM, BA BOOM, BA BOOM, BA BUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP, BA BOOM, BA BUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP,

But not like the first time I felt excited about the future, No This one was grim, this time my heart was filled with another emotion as it answered my pleas in my moments of despair.

This time making me feel, a RAGE, like I have never felt, not even when Mendez insulted my mother, not even when I was in the hospital and told me `Thankful thing´ that fucking doctor, NO!, this one was different, deriving from a Great HATE for the green eyed Being, as if he was a threat towards my SURVIVAL that filled me with a desire to.... KILL HIM.

With a RAGE that felt as if it possessed me.

I could almost feel all these emotions choking me, almost making me lose consciousness....NO!

`FUCK, THIS IS MY BODY I WON'T LET ANYTHING CONTROL IT!'

I can't let this HATE that I FEEL IT almost TOUCH IT, control me....

When I thought that, in this soundless, slowed down state, where the bullets were already just about to hit us suddenly stopped altogether, everything stopped, almost fading away before me.

"..."

And in this time-forgotten state... I could hear something....as if something inside me...was communicating with me.....with music?

♪ C-can you feel it? ♪

♪ Can you touch it? ♪

♪ Get ready 'cause here I go ♪

♪ C-can you feel it? ♪

♪ Can you touch it? ♪

♪ Get ready 'cause here WE go ♪

♪ Yeah ♪

♪ On other side of the wall run when I come undone ♪

♪ Can't kill me, I'm ZERO and ONE ♪

♪ Sharing the fate of both ♪

♪ Blaze your way down the dangerous path ♪

♪ Hear my call, I'm chippin' in ♪

♪ When the Wall Fall, We'r chippin' in ♪

♪ Then TOTAL WAR, and, WE ARE CHIPPIN'IN!!!! ♪

♪ To KILL them ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! ♪

When I heard that I didn't know what to think, I could only hear the music without lyrics in my head..... infecting/possessing me, making me form a smile on my face no less terrifying than the green eyes, I felt full of hatred and grudge almost reaching madness for the being in front of me, having a hard time keeping consciousness.

My mind and body felt on fire, but at the same time powerful, decisive, knowing what I have to do, without hesitation, making me move accordingly, along with the bullets that began to move slowly from the almost frozen in time state they were in.

Still thinking about the song chippin' in, that played in my head, the one singing those lines wasn't Johnny.... No!!!, the lyrics I just heard, I felt like it was a message to me, plus the voice singing was ..... MINE?

When I started to move, the pain that I felt in my eyes as if they were burning disappeared, in the process changed all my vision, now I could see the trajectories of the bullets in the form of lines of 3 different colors of them, red, yellow and blue.

The red ones were the ones that most of them were direct trajectories towards me.

The yellow ones seemed to pass close to me, but they hit judy.

And

The blue ones, there were hardly any, that didn't hit anyone.

The first thing I did in this semi-possessed state, was to turn to Judy, seeing how she began to form what looked like an expression of surprise when she saw my face, almost with fear in her eyes when she saw me, but I didn't care, no, at least not now, I moved as fast as I could to sweep her legs, with mine causing her to be in the air for an instant as I put my loose hand on her and pushed her against the ground, grabbing her before she fell, so as not to hurt her, leaving her on the ground, avoiding all trajectories.

Without time to dodge I threw myself towards the bullets that I was already close enough to be able to deflect them with my sword, when I thought that stripes appeared in my vision.

They were like the lines of the trajectories of the bullets, but they looked more like sword cuts, almost like a sequence of sword slashes, with optimal movements to be able to change the trajectory of the bullets.

With still the terrified smile on my face.

Before I knew it I was already moving my sword Following the first cut of the sequence that I felt stuck to my hand I could not separate my fingers from it, making me feel the sword as an extension of my arm, I also felt my body lighter than before, decreasing a little the gap between mind and body,

When I performed the first sword strike, I immersed myself in this hate-filled feeling letting that part gain power over my body leaving me speechless in process

SPSH!

SPSH!

SPSH!

With a single sword movement I had deflected the first 3 bullets making the color of the lines representing their trajectory change from red to blue,

Seeing that I can only "HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE" Laughing in this slowed down world full of holographic lines for how I felt....I felt ALIVE, I felt myself getting excited, joyful of what just happened, making me think....that maybe, MAYBE, I am not going to DIE VIRGIN again.

Making me change my smile from one of madness, to one of enjoyment, even my heart was beating so fast that it felt like time hadn't slowed down, making it change the emotion that made it beat, rivaling the HATE and RAGE that was there.

After thinking that, I felt ... better, as if the emotions that wanted to possess me had found balance with me.

As I immersed myself in this almost refreshing feeling I felt, as my body moved forward deflecting, dodging and slowly approaching the green eyes who seemed surprised by what was happening as if what he was seeing was not in his simulations/prediction of what was going to happen

SPSH!

SPSH!

SPSH!

SPSH!

SPSH!

SPSH!

When I finished making/observing the last sword movement of the sequence, deflecting all the red trajectories, or with small movements dodging them turning them blue.

I was, Face to face with the green eyes staring him in the face that had wiped off his smile almost looking the scared one, now.

While I seeing that only made my smile grow even bigger, making my mouth hurt making it.

Looking at the frozen green-eyed I could see a light reflecting off his face, an intense light of light blue that reminded me of the color of the sky, on Mendez's face....

Realizing where the light was coming from I was surprised.

They came from my eyes, my eyes shone like Mendez's, but in light blue.
