In the world where evolution of humanity happens, some things became unusual but for people who understands their will and capability, it’s normal.
Thousands of years ago, back on earth year 2020, people are commonly a normal one, no superpowers, no abilities beyond others, just a pure competition between territories, technologies, money and intelligence. On that time, humanities had the common goal of improving and to be a growing individuals with golden names.
Humanities didn’t get contented, they keep on searching.
Dr. Hildo Dyson, a neurologist and a scientist at the same time, with his partner Jessy, a chemist, seek something that time. It was, a specimen that changed humanities on that day forward, leading on deaths while the survivors treated themselves as gods and goddesses while some stayed on the ground even after acquiring something they see as a curse.
Dr. Hildo Dyson had a son, he was a genuine guy with a lot of passion for his country and for his countrymen. Well, his capabilities and inventions were lit, it was the finest of all.
At the age of 20, the world knows his name as a genius like his parents. His modern inventions became the most famous brand of all competitors. He’s a kind man who possesses a great will, sadly, he died while inventing a full giant device that can make more than grams of anti-matter every second.
Anti-matter that time costed more than 50% of the world economy. Easy to say that it was the most expensive compound above all. All Dr. Hido’s son’s wishing was to have the energy that can last a thousand years, to stop the production of electricity that hurts their planet.
As for Dr. Hildo, he and her wife didn’t accepted the fact that their son are dead. Every country drew their flag halfway down on the pole to show their condolences on the legendary man.
With Dr. Hildo’s lost, he and her wife used their skills as the second best doctor to none. They used their whole life, after freezing their son’s body on their laboratory on making a specimen that can bring their son back to life.
After 20 years of studies, they succeeded.
They called that specimen, ‘GYSDO60’.
After thousand of trials, to the point that they abducted more than thousand of people just to be their experimental figure. After thousand of deaths, they made it possible.
The specimen was a two by one inch constructed robot. Seconds after its implant, it will affect the main core of the body, the brain, leading to the impossible things to be possible. It was programmed by countless programs created by a friend of Dr. Hildo whom spent his 20 years together with him and his wife by getting paid.
Everything was set, the operation began after getting the body out of the destined device. It was obvious, after two decades of being frozen, the cells died, the vitals are impossible, the brain is dead. On that day, a dead that touched the air was visible.
By the time the specimen touches the brain tissue and the implant succeeded, the main program activated on its own.
“Proceed to cell regeneration.” Dr. Hildo commanded.
From deformed muscles, it was then rebirth. The vitals are on point, the skin atoned, the blood flow started after getting freeze, the brain started commanding. As the heartbeat starts, the subject started breathing heavily and when his eyes opened, tears flows.
“Programs are lining, no signs of malfunction.” The tech wiz announced.
As the subject’s eyes opened, it shut within a second. As Dr. Hildo together with his wife intertwined their hands.
“Please be okay, please.” Tears are flowing from Dr. Hildo’s wife, she was nervous and in pain to see her kid getting controlled and reproduced.
Minutes after minutes, the subject’s heartbeat started to pumped slower than before. Machines that are connected on the subject started beeping, the electricity is getting affected, the body started shaking.
“Charge to 200. Clear?”
“Clear!” Dr. Hildo’s wife answered while doing her thing.
As they revived the subject, its head fussed a smoke.
“What’s happening?!” Dr. Hildo startled out of disbelief.
“S-specimen GYSDO60 is out of control, unknown programs are being created, the subject is being taken over. The subject’s brain is fusing with the specimen’s abnormality, it’s like it’s attracted on some strong energy.” the tech wiz announced while keeping up on the changes.
“What the fucking energy was that?!” Dr. Hildo is on furious, no wonder, his son will face death on the second time.
It’s hopeless.
“A-Anti-matter, sorry but I don’t know what to do.”
Because of the fussed anti-matter and the specimen, at that point, the subject’s body explode, leaving a gigantic shock wave that killed the personnel. But before that, Dr. Hildo saw something, his son’s hand created a blue flame that came from nowhere.
It was then, by that specimen-anti-matter fusion, an airborne virus escaped that killed billion of people. As the virus mutate, the more people it kills leaving humanity’s species into an almost extinction. For the survivors, they lived and grow but something unusual are happening through decades.
The spring of virus’ survivors experienced sudden changes at the age of 12. At first, it was an ability that can be taken lightly but as years passes by, it became a global misunderstanding, each became clueless on what they can do.
Wars started once more and after getting settled on their childish reason to prove who’s the greatest, 10 countries from each continent where humanity lives formed an alliance for peace, they call it, ‘the gold’.
With the greatest from their powers, they stopped the feud and restored the peace. They also managed to give what’s clueless on many and as they ruled, the abnormal became normal and by year 2500, it was declared as the THE CHANGE where what humans can do are not the same as the old.
Year 5000, people instead of hanging and taking care of the so called ‘man’s bestfriend’ on the late millennium, it was replaced by grand technologies, humanoid one that serves purpose above what human can’t do.
Walking on the side way of the park, it didn’t excite me. Things became more technology-based, from buildings, infrastructures and even policemen that serves the law, we call them copnology or a name that was driven from cop and technology.
As a person with lots of knowledge about the history, I always compare and give myself what ifs. What if I lived on the year where humans don’t have supernatural abilities? What if I lived in a year where parks are more fun to take compared to the present where parks are mostly composed of boring aura and productive devices?
I don’t know, it’s just, things are more becoming and exciting when you do it in a manual way.
“Where to, X1?” My personal humanoid device, Stella, asked as it drives my air-board, a device or a kind of transported vehicles for individuals.
Above high, the city of lost can be seen. A city where the name was driven after the lost of more than a thousand people on year 2020, well, that’s according to my illegal stolen book from the library of higher ranked officials since my sister works there.
For in fact, study of history is forbidden on the present. Things related to the past, especially after the war that brought chaos upon humanity, before the ‘the gold’ was built.
How do I know that? It’s my sister, she’s supporting my illegal action of studying the past.
“The Gold HQ.” I commanded on my bot, after my voice, the air-board turned left where the HQ is located.
Lining on the heads of ‘the gold’, three highest ranked personnel are assigned. Among these three, all of the them are the greatest force of the military.
First on the list, Admiral Z. He’s the best among the three based on survey, a man who possesses the power of command. With his dominance and power, he ended a war between regions by his authority, everyone is afraid of him
Second is Admiral Y. He’s known as the powerless in offense, a man with the greatest support and defensive power among individuals, fear him because he’s untouchable. No wonder if this planet reached its final, he’s the only one who’ll survive.
Final and the one who’s representing women, it’s my sister, X. Her capability? Nah, I don’t want to talk about her. She’s great and the only thing that bond us together is history, yeah, we both love history.
It’s always been a peace world, the earth where I live in is not that populated after most of humanities chose to live on a nearby planet, to start over. As for me and the rest, we don’t want to leave the planet where our past holds.
Total population of earth as of the present, it’s more than a hundred thousand even though it’s under on the restoration project held and lead by Admiral Z, some didn’t abandoned this planet including me.
“Arriving, The Gold HQ, one kilometer away.”
I was on my deep thought, who would’ve thought that an hour travel will feels like a minute? From afar, the symbol of peace can be seen. The headquarter as always are filled with staffs without the discrimination of different races.
The HQ has the usual way of entrance, to reach my target location, I’m gonna take the wormhole portal created by one of the elders.
For in fact, not all are given with the chance to enter the portal that leads to the head quarter’s official office, unless you have the authority from the elder itself, especially by the elder who specializes this portal where the link will be given for entrance without delay.
As I entered, I was lead on the control office, it was gigantic and a room full of whites. Staffs are wearing the usual uniform and when I saw the way that will lead to the Admirals’ office’s front door, I immediately entered.
From the outside, I saw my sister’s figure. “Here, it’s your invitation from school, again.”
I sighed, this is the fifth time that I got to get invited from the same school. I though my sister will give me a more exciting news or a book, I didn’t thought that it will be the same white envelope with my name on it.
Well, it’s not a typical school like the others where you got to learn academic formulas, science or calculations. When compared to the ancient curriculum, it’s what they call college, the difference is, you’ll be studying under a specific goal where you’ll ended, if you passed, as server of ‘the gold’.
My sister’s been there, it’s fun and a dream for others but not for me. Since my parents died serving this organization, I got the trauma that it will happen on me, in my sister’s case, it’s her dream so I didn’t interfere at all, even though there’s a fact that I got to live alone.
“X, you know this is not my thing.” Slightly irritated, I defended.
“Look, accept this and take my position.”
“The heck are you saying? As if it’s a snap to take the position of the admiral, I don’t even want to go on that school for Pete’s sake!”
I saw her eyes getting teary, with a slight anger, she called me by the name our parents gave. “Michelle, just this time, this time! Please listen to me.”
X and X1 are just the code names that was given on us by the government. From the very start, we have our usual formal names but as the government’s record and formal identity, a code name was given on all population.
“Michelle, I’m dying, please accept it.”
“I-It’s still a no, I rather study and be free than be in that school, you know how much I hate being a force of ‘the gold’, this brings memories of Mom and Dad dying, in front of me.”
