This is a story I wrote up for school. For the assignment It was only supposed to be this chapter, but I plan to take this much farther.

Chapter 1: Origin of B0T

It all started on a normal partly cloudy day. It was morning and Chaun was in a good mood. He was in the middle of discovering a gene that allows someone to willingly alter their appearance. That was the case until he got the mail. The lab that Chaun was using to fund the project cut him off and he could no longer research. He immediately was struck with despair. Chaun then threw himself onto his couch and he laid face down. He stayed there for at least half an hour.

That is when the doorbell rang. Chaun then immediately yelled, “If it’s anyone but Clyde, GET OUT!” Surely enough, the door swung open and Clyde stepped in with a better mood than Chaun had when he woke up that morning. Clyde was Chaun’s Partner in the Gene project, as well as his best friend. Clyde was overly excited that he was going to finish the gene soon. “Come on Chaun lets get working on the gene I can smell success in the air.” Chaun just continued to lie there. “Chaun aren’t you excited, is something wrong?” Chaun sat up and picked up the mail. “Clyde, my good friend, this is what is bothering me,” Chaun said. Clyde took a look, “Your electricity bill?” Chaun smacked himself in the face because he was still holding the letter. “No Clyde this is what’s wrong.” Clyde was given the correct letter this time.

“Chaun, how could they do this to us? It doesn’t matter we’ll move on, we’ll get jobs and fund this, it could work,” Clyde said in a rather convincing manner. Chaun stood up and started to stare out the window. “Clyde, I’m going to give up this project, I’ve been shot down by the best gene research lab in the world. They could get the word out to every lab in the world; I don’t want that kind of reputation at only 14 years old. You can understand, right Clyde?” Clyde looked at Chaun with a clenched fist. “Well if you see it that way, our friendship is over, you hear me, OVER. I’m going to keep the project for my self and when it’s a great success I’m going to rub it in your face.” Clyde stormed out of Chaun’s house.

Chaun turned on his TV when Clyde left. He and Clyde have been best friends for 12 years and now it was over like that. Then the commercial that would change his life forever came on.

It was for a new up and coming Robotics Company; Chaun watched out of interest. “Have you ever thought about becoming a big name in robotics? Well if you’re good with technology and have a vast knowledge of math, come on down to our headquarters in Draco City at 92347 23rd avenue. Hurry; there are a lot of geniuses out there just waiting for an opportunity like this. The Project is to build a self aware robot. It will be fully funded and allow you to have extra money to build anything you want so come on down.”

Chaun was in shock. He wasn’t even fund-less for a day and a new opportunity pops up out of nowhere. He had knowledge of math and he worked well with technology, he would be perfect. He rushed to get his shoes on and started to head to the city. Chaun lived on the outskirts of Draco City in a suburban neighborhood. He was literally not more than a few blocks away from Main Street. Chaun scurried to the corner of Main Street and 23rd avenue. From there he got on the subway to get to the right block. 92347 23rd avenue was near 18th street so Chaun rode it all the way to 18th street. Chaun finally made it off the subway after over shooting the exit by 10 streets.

Chaun made his way into the building and found that not many people were there. In fact there was nobody else there but the receptionist. Chaun scurried to the receptionist’s Desk. “Excuse me, I’m here about that robot thing that you guys did a commercial about,” Chaun huffed out clearly tired from all of the running he did that day. The receptionist didn’t look up, “Name?” Chaun replied, “Chaun I. Other.” The receptionist then asked, “Year of birth?” Chaun hesitated a bit and said, “Uh, 1993.” The receptionist looked up and said, “I’m sorry Mr. Other but I’m sure the president of this company wouldn’t allow me to register some random 11 year old.”

Just then a large man appeared from the other side of the room. “Are you mad Dolores? This is not just any 11 year old, this is the son of Professor Other, he also has made quite a name of himself around here in gene research too,” Said the man in an obviously British accent. “Oh my, where are my manners, I’m Sir Edmund Circuit, the president of Circuit Industries. You’ve already met Dolores, my secretary.” Chaun looked over at Dolores and she said, “Sorry about the whole ‘you’re too young thing’, nothing personal right?” Chaun smiled, “Not at all.”

“Chaun come with me, we have much to discuss,” Circuit said. They walked into a large room that looked like a board room in TV shows about work. “This is where we will plan the design of the robot. Here you can add anything you want, an arm that can create electric beams, to jet propelled shoes. You name it, we’ll design it, and you build it. Do you have any ideas yet?” Chaun thought hard for a bit, “I’m going to need some time to think over what I want, but the ideas you put out are gold, keep them.”

Chaun walked home from the building to think of a cool design, he thinks better while doing other tasks like walking or playing videogames. Walking home was a big mistake on his part. While walking home, he found some people repainting his school, Draco middle school. He wound up getting the arms of his yellow shirt in dark blue paint so he kept his hands inside his sleeves to keep them from getting paint on them. Without his hands out his head fell into an empty fishbowl. He looked at himself in the mirror, and then he got the idea on what the robot will look like. He took the fishbowl off his head and ran the rest of the way home to draw out the design.

Meanwhile Clyde was looking around for a job when he found a plant shop to work at. The pay wasn’t great but at least he could finish production of the project by the 7th. Then he got a cell phone call from Chaun. Clyde picked up the phone and told Chaun, “You better be crawling back to me man.” There was silence for a bit then Chaun said, “Nope I just got a job at Circuit Industries, that new robotics company. I’m going to build them a self aware robot. I just wanted to tell you that it’s fully funded with extra money to do what ever I want.” Clyde Yelled at Chaun through the phone, “I TOLD YOU WE AREN’T FRIENDS ANYMORE! NOW DO WHAT EVER THE HECK YOU WANT WITH IT BUT I’M FINISHED WITH YOU!”

Chaun was at home now; he dropped the phone after Clyde yelled at him, and then hung it up. He decided to not finish the gene project and work on something else instead, but what. Chaun then started to sketch what the Robot will look like. It had a yellow torso with blue limbs. The arms had no fingers to them and could shoot electric beams. His feet were grey and were able to let him fly using them as jet-shoes. He had a clear glass like head that showed a hologram of a face to show emotion. Chaun then thought for a second on how he was going to make the robot think on its own. He then decided he was going to need some living brain cells to observe. Then program the robot to have a hard drive that works like an actual brain. Chaun then looked at the clock and realized that it was midnight, so he decided that he should go to bed and get a fresh start at Circuit Industries the next day.

Chaun woke the next day by his telephone. When he picked it up his little sister Lucy was on the line. Lucy said, “Hey Chaun, how’s life living at home alone?” Chaun replied, “Pretty good, I just got a job at a new company called Circuit industries, how’s mom and dad?” Lucy replied, “Busy as usual, dad with all of his technological stuff and mom just being mom.” “Well tell them I say hi, alright little sis,” Chaun said as he hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, outside Clyde’s younger brother Kelvin was playing in his yard. Just then an unfamiliar car pulled up and Mr. Circuit came out. Circuit asked Kelvin, “Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but is this the Other residence?” Kelvin pointed two houses down and said, “Dat’s Chawn and Lucy’s howse siwy.” Kelvin was no older then three and a half at the time. Mr. Circuit then knocked on Chaun’s door.

Chaun answered the door all dressed for work in one of his best button down shirts. “Mr. Circuit, I was just on my way to the subway.” Mr. Circuit laughed and said, “Subway, Don’t be daft Chaun, that’s a preposterous idea. Going by car saves time for you. Plus I live in the other direction.” Chaun got into the shotgun seat of his boss’s car.

“So Chaun come up with any smashing ideas for the body design,” asked Circuit.
Chaun showed His boss the drawing he made last night. “My my Chaun, This looks splendid, though it could use just a tiny alteration here,” Mr. Circuit said pointing at the bottom half of the torso. “It should have a connector piece right here that can bend like a spinal cord thus allowing easier movement.” Chaun thought about it for a moment. “Yea, your right and it should just add a bit more height to the robot.” Circuit then asked, “Any ideas for names?” By then they were passing 12th street, then Chaun said, “B0T-12.”

For the next few days Chaun was busy studying the brain waves of Kelvin, who willingly took the assignment. He chose a child’s mind because it’s more open than even his own mind. Chaun then willingly extracted a few of his own brain cells to study for the structure of what the robot will have for a brain. Kelvin stayed even after he was done being tested on, because Chaun was building the robot, which was much more interesting then what Clyde was doing.

Clyde had been working on the gene project for so long he kicked his little brother out of his house, just for the privacy. Clyde had isolated the gene and created a liquid form of the gene so that with the whole vial you could change your appearance whenever you please. He still did not want to test it out yet until he heard from his little brother if Chaun was doing as good as him.

Chaun was near completion of B0T when he made the worst mistake of his life. He gave Kelvin the brain cells that he used to construct B0T’s personality. Kelvin Brought it home and decided to mix the cells with Clyde’s liquid. Clyde came into the room after Kelvin put the vial back. Clyde asked, “So how is the robot coming?” Kelvin told him that, “Chawn says its neawly dowen.” Clyde then ran across the room to test out the liquid. He took only a sip of it and he was able to make his hair grow longer. Clyde put down the vial and yelled, “IT WORKS!” Just then he got a bit woozy. He fell down and he was unconscious.

Inside his head he could hear a voice saying, “Get your revenge on Chaun,” over and over. Clyde finally was able to ask, “Who are you?” The voice said, “I’m the liquid you did not drink enough of me to take control of you, but if you give me to Chaun and do not tell him that it’s the appearance altering liquid, then get him to have his personality exit his body, I will take control and he will be no more.” Clyde obviously influenced by the voice said, I accept, now let me regain consciousness please.” Clyde then woke up and found Kelvin shaking him.

Next week Chaun invited Clyde and Kelvin to see the first activation of B0T-12. By then, Clyde had put the liquid into a bottle and gave it to Chaun and told him it’s a new flavor of soda that he thought he would like. Chaun turned on the video camera to show this historic moment to future kids who would want to follow their dreams. Chaun counted backwards from five until on one he flipped B0T’s on switch.

It worked, it really worked. After B0T moved on his own, Chaun opened the bottle and guzzled down the liquid. Clyde asked Chaun, “What are you going to do with the rest of the budget?” Chaun replied, “I have no idea.” Clyde had an idea on what Chaun should spend it on, and to finish his plan. “Why don’t you build a device that can move human personality into a machine? I’ll help you out with building it,” Clyde said. “Alright,” Chaun said in a better mood then he was ever in.

Together they worked on construction of the Synchronizing machine of Changing Human and Invented Person relation, or Sync-CHIP for short. Clyde then wanted to show the world this demonstration of the device. They had every news camera in Draco City on them when Clyde asked, “Why don’t you go into B0T for the demonstration? Just turn off his personality and you’ll be able to take over its body.” Chaun already was working on that before Clyde could finish his sentence.

Everyone in Draco City was waiting for this big demonstration. Mr. Circuit was answering press questions, as well as Chaun’s parents on how they raised such a brilliant child. Chaun had a headband attached to the Sync-CHIP that sent out the brainwaves and put them into the machine. The machine then sends them out looking for a frequency of which to accept the waves of the brain, or set it to a certain frequency to go into a certain machine. Chaun had it set for B0T.

Chaun turned on the machine and yelled, “SYNC-CHIP” Chaun’s body just stood there. Then B0T started to move and he got up to the microphone and said in a robotic like tone of Chaun’s voice, “I AM CHAUN.” Chaun’s real body then started to move on its own, and pushed B0T out of the way. Chaun then spoke in a sort of demonic tone of his voice, “If you’re Chaun, then what am I?” B0T then said, “What are you, this shouldn’t be happening.”

Just then Chaun’s body started to change. His Body turned green, his body grew spikes that came out of his body shredding up his clothes. His eyes turned all black, His eyebrows became thick long vines and he grew bug like wings. He then Yelled, “I AM SPICRO THE PRODUCT OF THE PROJECT YOU THREW AWAY, NOW I SHALL DESTROY YOUR ONLY CHANCE OF RETURNING TO THIS BODY!” Spicro grabbed the Sync-CHIP and crushed it in his hands.

“Come Spicro, let’s get out of here,” Clyde said to the monster. B0T was astonished, “Clyde this is your doing?” Clyde Sneered, “Of course, did you really think that you could just have me back as a partner, as a friend, after abandoning me. I finished the gene project and it grew its own personality until it became this parasite that took control of you. Now so long B0T, we have other plans now. We are going to rob this entire city of all of its money and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

B0T laughed, “You really think I wouldn’t prepare B0T for combat?” B0T held up his arm and shot an electrical net from it, catching Clyde, and putting him magnetized to a pole. Spicro flew away up in the sky, thinking B0T wouldn’t be able to catch him. He was wrong; B0T flew up using his Jet-shoes. He then tried shooting another electrical net but Spicro Dodged it. Spicro then shot spikes from his hand at B0T but B0T used his Spinal could like feature to bend back and dodge them as well. There was only one more thing B0T could do, he held up his arm and let energy build up. Then he let the energy go in a large beam that obliterated Spicro.

B0T flew down to the streets and people were cheering him on. He was a hero and it was all on accident. B0T went over to where he left Clyde and told him, “This could have turned out different; you could have forgiven me for what I admit was wrong. But that gives you no right to destroy my life. I’m afraid I’m going to have to leave you with the police.” Clyde said, “No I will not just let all that I worked for go unrewarded, I’ll be seeing you, old friend. Clyde then vanished into thin air. Some say that the tiny bit of Spicro he had disintegrated his entire body and did not leave a trace. But nobody can be sure what happened.

This is how our story begins.

Now since the people here don't really know me all that well I'm going to post a few reference pics.
