   Chapter 2
That morning, in a city not far from Area 92, a music alarm clock went off. A sleepy eyed fourteen year old stirred in his bed. As the teenager groped for the snooze button, somebody yelled from bellow.
“LUKE! YOU TURN OFF THAT MUSIC RIGHT NOW!” the shock of hearing his mother’s screech startled him so much that he fell out of his bed waking him thoroughly.
“ALRIGHT! I’M TURNING IT OFF RIGHT NOW!” He yelled back as he turned off the alarm clock. As he put on some clothes and rubbed his eyes, he tried to remember why he had set his alarm clock for such an early time. Then it all came back in a flash, It was his first day of high school, and Luke Johnson didn’t want to be late for the bus. He thought it strange that school was still going on even though the aliens had invaded two years ago, though they had stopped attacking since summer began. Luke had been secretly hoping that they’d start attacking again when school started, but so far no luck. Luke had just turned fourteen and summer had just finished, and he had a massive head ache from partying last night with his friends.
Trying to sneak downstairs without waking up his mother again proved to be of some difficulty since his parents room was right next to the kitchen. After pouring himself some cereal and tip-toeing back to his room, Luke enjoyed his breakfast while watching some TV. While watching TV he remembered something that almost made him choke on his spoon…Bijou! He had almost forgotten about her. At the thought of his crush made him let out a deep sigh. He remembered how cute she looked. She had been at the party last night, and he had worked up the courage to walk over and talk with her.
There was something different about her that night, she didn’t seem to want to be there, like she was anxious to leave...but why? When she asked if he could get her some punch, he happily obliged, but when he came back, she was gone. As if things weren’t weird enough between them.
As if suddenly pulled back to earth, he checked the time. 7:13am. He had seven minutes to get to the bus stop. After sneaking down-stairs and putting his cereal bowl in the dishwasher, he packed his lunch, grabbed his back pack, and headed out the door.
The day soon went from bad to worse. Almost everything went wrong. Missing the bus, being late to his classes, feeling totally lost in the hallways, pushed and shoved by everybody he saw, and forgetting to do his summer homework. He even fell on his face at lunch looking like an idiot in front of Bijou, who just blushed and walked away. After school finally finished, he missed the returning bus and had to walk home.
“This is the worst day of my life…” he thought as he kicked a can down the street


Mean while, not far from Luke, Canti was resting in a dark alley way. It was dark and dank, a perfect place to be undisturbed. Hiding behind a dumpster, he waited. He had worked his new muscles to the limit and they were over heated. While he was letting his systems cool down, he wondered if he needed to sleep. “I suppose I might have to re-charge…” he thought, “I wonder how I do that.” There was a sudden clang as a can came into view in the opening of the alley. Canti froze. A human silhouette appeared at the entrance and stopped. Canti didn’t move, hoping that the human would go away.


Luke stared into the alleyway, he could’ve sworn he saw something move in there. He slowly walked down the alley staring at the spot that moved. As he came closer, he saw a metal foot coming from the other side of the dumpster. No sooner had he seen it then it moved out of view.
“W-W-Who’s t-there?” he stuttered. He frantically looked around for any type of weapon he could use if things turned ugly. Seizing a lead pipe from the top of the dumpster and holding it out in front of him, Luke slowly rotated around to the other side of the dumpster. With a sudden jump around the corner, he let out a sigh of relief.
“I must be seeing things…” he said as he examined the metal robot, “it’s just one of those helper robots. Huh? Why is it here? This thing looks brand new…who’d throw this away?” He positioned the robot so he could access it’s mother board in the back. Even though Luke was failing most of his classes, he was a wiz when it came to robotics. All his life he had built robots and remote cars. He was so into creating robots, that his entire room was covered in metal parts and wires, it was a wonder that he could move around.


Canti played possum as the human kept coming closer and closer, until it propped him up and opened something in his back. “What is this thing doing?” As the human kept messing with Canti’s wires, Canti felt something change in his body. “What was that?” he thought. Suddenly his entire body moved on it’s own. His left arm jerked to life so suddenly, that Canti let out a gasp. The human jumped back in fear.
“Holy crap!” the human yelled, backing up against the wall.
Before Canti could stop himself, his whole body jerked to life, slowly standing up. As if perplexed by this sudden movement, the human took a step closer, reaching out a hand to touch Canti. Before he could stop himself, Canti grabbed the humans hand.
“Hey! Let go!” Yelled the human
“I-I can’t!” said Canti.


As the robot’s grip tightened on his arm, Luke began to frantically try to pry it off. “I said let go!” he yelled as the robot’s second arm grabbed his left hand.
“Beginning Fusion” said the robot
“Beginning what?” Luke said with a confused look on his face. The robot started to vibrate, it started from a slow shaking and increased rapidly. “T-T-h-a-t h-h-h-u-r-r-t-s-s-s” Luke said while his body shook wildly. The robot was shaking so fast, it began to glow. It was an eerie green glow, as if the robot was giving of a green aura. At this point Luke stopped trying to get the robot let go, he was too perplexed by what happened next. As the robot glowed brighter and brighter, it’s armor started to come off. Nuts, bolts, sheets of metal, it all started to pull apart. As the parts came off, they slowly started to spin in a circle around what was left of the body. When the arm disintegrated, Luke pulled back to get a better look at what was going on.
When the final pieces broke apart and joined the spinning circle, the circle started to spin faster. When it all became a whizzing blur, the pieces stopped, still suspended in the air, and lunged at Luke. Luke could only scream in terror as the pieces bombarded him, pushing him against the wall, covering him in a massive ball of metal. As all the pieces circled him, they began to put themselves together around him, forming arms, legs, a torso, and a head.
As the pieces formed around his body, Luke felt the sharp edges of what felt like needles penetrating his limbs. What felt like millions of needles stabbed and connected with his muscles, pulling the pieces tight against his body. Bit by bit, the pieces drew closer, sealing Luke inside his newly acquired shell, until Luke was encased in complete nothingness.

   Chapter 1
Chapter one

Area 92, Sector V
Deep underground in Area 92, sector V, Canti awoke. Slowly opening his eyes he thought “where am I?” as he studied his surroundings. He was suspended in a glass tube filled with slimy green liquid that took some getting used to moving around in. As he slowly turned around in a 360 degree turn, he realized that whoever put him here didn’t want him to get out. The walls were made of titanium slabs, and the door was steel plated. The only clue to where he was a thick glass window on the left side of the door directly in front of him. A lone single wire was protruding from the bottom of the tube, slowly winding its way across the floor, up the wall and into a small hole in the ceiling.
“ugh…what happened?” he thought as he put his hand to his head. “wait a minute…” he thought. He was sure he was touching his head with his hand, but he couldn’t feel it. Slowly raising his hand to eye level, he saw why.
“My…My hand!” in a sudden realization, he checked his entire body. “ARGH! What happened to my body!” he gurgled. As fear swept over him, he frantically punched at the glass trying to get out. “This can’t be happening to me!” As he punched and punched, a guard came racing into view of the window and burst through the door. Looking horrified at the site of Canti, he grabbed for his walkie talkie and yelled something into it.
“H-Hey! You! What happened to me!” screamed Canti through the glass. But the guard just backed away, horrified.
“Don’t kill me!” whimpered the guard as he ran out of the room screaming for back up.
“Damn it! Get back here!” and with a final punch, Canti broke through the glass, shattering it to pieces. Canti fell to the floor, straining against his new muscles to stand. “what’s happening to me? How did I get here?” as the questions kept coming, Canti stumbled to the glass window. As his form slowly appeared in the reflective glass, he studied himself. He couldn’t remember anything about his past, or even how he got to prison cell #8 in sector V of Area 92. All he could remember was his name and what he used to look like.
But instead of his regular body, his new body wasn’t made of flesh and bone. Instead it was now made of metal and wires. His old organs and muscles were no more. In there place were chips and monitors. Canti had been transformed into a robot.
“I can’t feel, I can’t smell, I’m sure I can’t even taste food…I don’t even eat food anymore…” As Canti stepped outside, a voice was booming over the intercom.
“PRISON BREAK IN SECTOR V…BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR SUBJECT I-38…REPEAT…BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR….”
“Perfect.” Canti said as he raced down the hall. As he reached a four way intersection, he paused. “Um…hmm….eenie meenie minee….MO!” He took a left, then a right, then another left. “This is insane, this place is a maze...” As he rounded a left corner, he stopped dead in his tracks. Four guards were aiming at him with their green plasma pistols.
“F-F-Freeze!” Stammered one of the guards.
“Wait! Don’t shoot!” he yelled.
“huh?” the guards exchanged confused glances. Something clicked inside of Canti’s vocal unit.
“I said don’t shoo-” but before he could finish, his entire body started moving. His arms split in two, his knee caps moved to the side, and his chest opened up like a cabinet. At each opening a missile shot out at the guards.
“AAARGH!!!” screamed the guards. As each missile hit it’s mark.
“…How did I do that?” Canti wondered, but before he could figure out how, his entire body moved again, this time covering up the holes. “I didn’t even think about it. I did it by myself…” One of the guards stirred, Canti grabbed him forcefully by his shirt and picking up a plasma pistol.
“Now your gonna tell me what is going on… and if u don’t….well..” Canti put the pistol to the guards head, “let’s just say your gonna tell me..”
“W-What do you want to know?” said the guard.
“Why am I here?”
“You’re subject I-38, right?”
“That’s what the intercom keeps saying,” said Canti pointing at the intercom with the gun. “now answer the question.”
“When you had your original body, you used to be one of the greatest fighters the evil Aliens had.”
“Aliens?”
“Yes, you bastards attacked our planet two years ago and killed millions of innocent people, and you led their attacks!”
“No…No NO! I wouldn’t! I would never hurt innocent people!”
“You did…But it gets better, we finally trapped you and put you into suspended sleep. During the trap, your body was broken. We were able to move your mind and memories from your old body, to this new one.”
“But I can’t remember anything…”
“That was a draw back, we were only able to copy your abilities and personality, only a few memories were saved.”
“That’s all I need to know,” Canti said as he tossed the guard aside, “but how do you know all of these things?”
At this the guard looked upset, “I used to be in charge of your recovery, I was in charge of filling your memories with new ones, making you the militaries new warrior, we gave you one of the best robot bodies we have, missiles, guns, automatic armor, u would’ve been leading an entire army of robots, just like you. The other robot’s would become our best fighters armor, everything would’ve been set for the final attack agains u aliens, but we ran into some difficulties.”
“What happened?” questioned Canti, still pointing the pistol at the guard.
“After your body refused to accept the new memories, all my work went down the drain, if your body wouldn’t accept the memories, then we couldn’t convince you that you were our warrior…so you were scheduled for termination”
“And then I woke up…”
“yep”
Canti stood contemplating this new information he had just heard. After what seemed like an eternity, Canti asked the question that feared him most “is there anyway to get my original body back?”
“….well…the only ones who could have a chance of getting your body back would be your little friends in the space ships,” said the guard pointing to the sky, “but your chances of getting there are slim to none.”
“I’ll take my chances.” Said Canti. He let go of the guard and ran off
“You’ll never get out of here alive!” yelled the guard.
As Canti looked back, he could’ve sworn he heard the guard say something, but before he had time to wonder about it, the intercom was yelling something else,
“SUBJECT I-38 HAS BEEN SEEN NEAR PRISON CELLS, ALL SECURITY REPORT TO LEVEL B8 IMMEDIATELY!”
“Well I’m not sticking around to wait for security to show up…I’m out of here” said Canti as he ran around searching for a ventilation shaft. After finding one, he crawled through the tunnels for half an hour until he finally found a way out. Without turning back once, he ran as far away as he could into the dark of the night.
