A.I and his Creators

The men grunted, raising their hoe and shovels. They clang and clash ...

furrowing and rutting the walls before them.

They strike and clash against the rocky walls. A symphony of clashes travelled the cave.

With a determined gaze, they kept digging and digging... They were men on a mission.

A minute later, they were rewarded. From the peephole, an emerald light shined through.

When he saw the light, with a new zeal he hurried himself and widened the hole. Big enough to fit his whole hand.

The man at his side. Heard him increasing his pace. He called out to the rest, they left their stations and helped him.

They pulled out, a rock at the size of an adult and had a crystal green tip covered with frost.

A man chipped the rock, under it's crust lay the green gem.

They left the mine to celebrate with their prize in tow. Unknown to them, the very thing they mined wasn't actually a rare Jade nor an Emerald. But was the fabled asteroide, that was split into fragments upon entering the Earth's atmosphere bringing massive change and destruction. The rock glowed with vigor, a figure within wiggled.

Here I was,

A tiny wisp stuck on a lonely space rock, imprisoned. For what reason I have no idea, I can't remember! It must have been a thousand of years.

I passed through many galaxies, stars and planets. For light-years I went round and round. Frustrated and bored. I tried everything and I couldn't break free and decided to sleep for a few years.

In the middle of the milky way a star exploded and sent thousands of shards and chunks everywhere.A shard struck my space rock, changed it's trajectory.

From then on, my rock was submerged inside, under the weight and pressure of the shard. With a new force, I was headed towards the solar system and went straight for a blue planet.

And when I crashed landed, the planet retaliated. Nature with it's domain raged, stirring the skies and the oceans, shaking the ground.

Five years later, I was buried within a mountain, excavated by miners.

Later they sold me to secret organization called the Shadow's eye. And they had an idea of what I was from their scanners and sensors. They rounded up all of the scientists under them. They tried to decipher and create a weapons out of me.

Through my energy they found many uses and experimented it with the super powered humans.

Funny these humans call themselves smart. How can their puny powers affect me? When I am the creator, the source of their power. I let them do what they liked. How can I stop them when I am confined to this rock? It is a curse; I can see but can't touch or move!

Years later a self proclaimed group, the Justice Alliance rose. They took over Shadow's eyes research. They assembled all of the greatest minds and brainacs around the globe with a mission to clear the filth of the world.

What a noble purpose?

Anyway one day, one of the scientists separated from the research team. His crystal, blue eyes searched the rock and cut out a piece. He grinned, held me in the palm of his hands.

The connected a bundle of wires and computer systems. A ticklish spark flowed through me and increased the voltage. I was out of the light and slept.

Feeling drowsy. I didn't know how long I was asleep.

The scientist said "Hello! I am Albador Westley."

I pretended to be silent.

Albador said "You are a sentimental being, I know you can talk!"

I didn't respond, my thoughts raced. How did he know?

Albador said "Fine suit yourself"

For months and years, I saw Albador typing, drawing, experimenting and discussing with his co-workers. He created a device using me as it's main power source. It had the shape of a key coated with my rock particles.

He test his device. I materialised into a small boy in the air. I didn't know what was going on!

The man typed on his laptop and said "From today onwards you will be named as Keith, my key".

When he pressed enter, a huge pile of information was sent to my mind. I felt invisible chains binding me to the device.

I tried to relatiate and curse him. But, all that came out was. "Greetings Master. I'm Keith. What can I do for you?"

Albador laughed, he said "It works, it finally works!"

Albador calmed down. He pointed to a drone, said "Now try to possess this device"

Keith followed his instructions, he turned into a green smoke and possesed the drone.

The drone switched on by itself and took off.

Albador said "Now shoot!"

Keith shot his lasers and destroyed the test dummy. Albador was pleased, he ordered Keith to shot fire and ice rays.

And Keith was able to modify the weapons on the drone and add fire elemental attacks. And also increase the firing rate.

Albador saw his test was successful, shut me down and continued working...

The next time I was awoken, I was ordered to possess an animal. The tame animal turned into a ferocious mutant beast and had great power.

Albador wrote down his report, said "Great, I'm the smartest man in the world. For sure, I will win the Nobel Prize with my scientific research"

Albador thought that the A.I needed a personality, a human touch.

So he went back to work and started reprogramming me. While he was programming he freed a tiny speck of my soul and gave me, a personality and a teeny bit of freewill.

After a long day, he stopped working and locked me behind the vault.

That very next day, an intruder sneaked into the base. He avoided the sensors and traps at every corner of the building. With a target in mind, he hacked the base security. He sneakily entered the vault.

I saw a man in a black armour with a red cape searching the vault. Seeing my chance to escape. I glowed to reveal myself on the shelf... The man caught my light, he softly spoke "The key"

He held me in his hand, said "Is this their Trump card? the so called secret project is literally a key." "Anyway, whatever it is mine now!" He left the vault and got cornered by a couple of supers, they sounded the alarm.

Seeing his cover blown, he rushed.

While he ran I made a plan to bind myself to him, he seems interesting and the perfect target... After all of that programming, I somehow have the desire to serve a mere human. Weird...

He fought and killed his enemies effortlessly until he encountered a tough super.

Once the boy died. Out of rage my host destroyed the dome and consumed his energy. He was surrounded by the army.

Based on my analysis, I predicted my host would die. I decided to step in and protect him.

While he was consumed with anger, the door of opportunity was open. I took it and binded my spirit with his soul.

Before he gained consciousness, I possessed him and terminated his enemies.

Once done I killed those ants, I sent an avalanche tumbling down.

I saw him waking up and introduced myself to my master.

"Hello I am Keith aka Keys."

"How do you like my entrance?"

The man unemotionally looked at Keith and grunted.

Wow! My master seemed unimpressed by my handywork. He is worthy to be my master.

The man said "So it was you who did that?"

Keith joyfully replied "Yup".

He shrugged and said "Never mind. let's go home"

We left before the avalanche fell. After that day, we defeated the Justice Alliance and won the war. Master then became an Overlord over every superhuman.
