CHP1:
The day the cyborgs took over the Earth was far more than just a tragedy, it was a tale that many generations would hear about.Millions lost thier lives; women, men, and even helpless children. Those who remained were at the mercy of Decker, the leader and inventor of the cyborg. A cybrog; half human and half robot. It is one of the closest things invented to immortal. Many humans were forced to join the cyborg army, giving themselves up for robotic body parts. Those who refused were either sold into slavery or held as prisoners. I have seen too much to tell, and suffered too much to understand.
I was at the age of four; it was on a dark, cloudy day of 4037. Everything has been converted into such a haze after so many years. I remember my father and mother. They were beautiful, brilliant people. On one summer day they took me out on a picnic at the old park, under one of the last oak trees on Earth. I remember the sweet, delicious taste of my dehydrated ice cream on my tongue. My parents were so happy as they chatted. Then it happend; a loud sonic boom rocketed throughtout the atmosphere. The sky grew red as a fleet of space ships soared through the sky.
My parents each grabbed each one of my hands in as they fleed from within the park's gates. People watched in awe at the speculation. No one knew why the ships were here. My parents kept pulling me as i tried to pay attention to the ships. I remember asking myself why were they here. Then it happend; destruction had placed it finger upon us. were released from the ships' cargo and onto our small urban city. Then it all came to me, they were the enemy! My father quickly slung me over his shoulder as he began to run alongside of my mother. Buildings were struck one by one as if they were placed like dominoes. Fire leaped out of its skin and surrounded the buildings as they fell into a powerful cloud of debris-ridden dust. People were shrieking and toppling over eachother as they fleed for their fragile lives. Then all once the ships then began to land.
I looked over my shoulder as my body thudded against my father's shoulder at a cylinder shape bricked building. I glanced at my mother opening the doors and thrusting her small thin frame into the building. I remained apathetic due to a short attention span. My father followed my mother into the building and pulled me down into a cradel position in his arms. He held me close as he paced his way down a white tiled long hallway. People in lab coats were racing from door to door with micro tops, a very small computer that can fit in your pocket. They were trying to converse with my father while panicing. Then all went black over the clatter of panic. I felt my father hault with a jolt against his body. People then begin to murmmur as they pulled out their fiber light pens to find their way around in the darkness. I then heard my mother's earnest voice from afar. "Donnavon, over in here." She said as she pulled down her fiber light pen at a door.
My father quickly jogged over to her and handed my small body to her. She held me close and rubbed my back gently. " Mommy, what is happening?" i asked sheepishly. She hushed me soothingly as she followed my father into the room. My father pulled out his fiber light pen and turned it on as it revealed a room of people in lab coats. They were putting things into tin boxes and scurrying about. A tall man with a brown beard and brown hair greeted my father with a handshake and then pulling him over to the side in a conversation. I looked up at my mother. She was beautiful for such a woman of middle age. Her glasses slumped over her nose slightly as they outlined her almond shaped blue eyes. Her hair was pulled up into a collapsing bun as it edged her pale perfect complexion. She pursed her red lips together in stress. I then glanced at my father. To me, my father was like a king; valiant and brave. He was very intelligent as well. I stared at him; he was talking to the man while moitioning with his hands. His brown hair flopped onto his face as if it were hiding his green eyes. Everything seemed to be in slow motion.
A boiling scream rang out through the hall. " The cybrogs!!! They're here!!!!" a voice shrilled. I began to get paranoid at the high pitch screaming. I clinged to my mother in fear. People then began to scrammble out the room including my parents. My mom leaped out into the hall and followed my father. I head screams and yelps echo from outside. I looked back over my mother's shoulder and saw splatter the glass doorpanes in the front entrance. I quickly closed my eyes. My father stopped and turned around. I turned to face him as my mother stopped. He sighed as a tear spilled from his eye. " I need to go with the others. You need to escape with the crew. Stay hidden, you have the program. If I get caught all will be at lost. Meet me at the HR base, Lacey." He told my mother. "No, i need to be with you my love...Don't leave me!" She replied. He looked at her and kissed her. She kissed him back as he held her and i close to him. "I love you both. Take care."he told us. "Daddy, don't go!" I shouted. He kissed my forehead. "It will be ok, i will you seen you again. I promise." he tried to smile as he turned from us. He then began to head off with a group of men.
My mother sighed as a man approached her. "Dr.Andray! A shuttle awaits you outside! Please hurry!" He told her. My mother looked at me. "What about Kallyanna, its far too dangerous!" She protested. The floor beneath us began to shake. "Hurry! I will take her." the man shouted as he grabbed me. "When you return, she will be here with me." My mother looked at me and quickly kissed my forehead. "I love you, Kallyanna. Mommy will be back for you." She ensured me. I nodded. "I love you too mommy. Don't forget!" i replied instinctivley. She paused for a moment and then placed a necklace around my neck. "What are you doing? Do you know what you have done?" The man asked with fury. She nodded. "Take care of her, Ranolde" She kissed me again with a tear rolling down her cheek. I watched as she began to run off. The man then held me close and began to leave the building.
As we exited out of the building a blinding light burned our eyes. Smoke drizzled its way through the streets of debris. He then began to sneak out into the streets. Everything was silent. I watched in horror as i viewed the gory bodies on the pavement. I looked away and up at the man. He had long black hair wrapped in a braid. He had an eye patch on over his left eye. His other eye scouted the area in its icy blue iris. He looked to be about thirty years old with gray hair slightly sticking out on his sideburns. He glanced at me slowly. I looked away. I wondered why the city looked so horrible. Who were cyborg?
