April 20th 2025, were just inside the city and our food and water supplies need to be filled so with Bianchi’s help we managed to get some free food from an abandoned shop near there. His body all made out of steel had guaranteed him not to get infected. We are heading towards the Homo-novus’ Group headquarters, that just happens to be the very same place where the Government installs its projects. As we were getting closer, we saw the robot guards that were made out from real people through the Mental Transplantation in the door. My first plan was to go inside somewhere else, and maybe finding a window or a passage may help us. Soon I found the passage, the system is found underground so for that we need to take the down stairs in the Cupula Room until finally reach the system. Since the were bushes, we imagined the robot guards weren’t able to tack us but soon they sensed our presence by their body technology. So Bianchi tried to convert the signal to somewhere else, like this distracting them as we passed through the bushes until we reach the Up Stairs Room. Once we got inside we continued our way through the Office II Room, the Hallway is densely guarded by guards so going there would be suicide. The option of the Office II Room was safer but at the same time there was windows that could easily make us to bee seen. So in order to do that, Bianchi had to dissipate the track signal of the robot guard until me and Alice passed first. After that he could pass by his own. Just as were finishing Alice touched an unexpected moving sensor and the guard soon became aware of us. As he went in the room, I broke the alarm and Bianchi gave him a punch. But that sure wasn’t enough. As we were finally in the Cupula Room many guards gathered and as they were about to attack Bianchi pushed us in the stairs and locked he and the guards in the same space by magnetic ways his body was capable to produce. No reaction was left, though Alice called him the only answer was for us to run. So I grab Alice’s hand and protected ourselves by going down. As we were going downstairs, the tremendous explosion could be heard. In fact Bianchi saw no choice, once he said to me. “If I could kill myself, I would. But if someday I ended up killing myself, I shall for a greater good.” Bianchi said to me. He chose to destroy himself by pushing electromagnetic fields into his direction. Like this, locking all robot guards together and burning them all at once. He believed on me and the future of humanity and I would not fail for all his efforts. As we finally reached the System, we could see al sort of experiments they were doing and in the center of the room you could see a giant server called “Novaepestis”. I was astonished, I did not believe on what I was seeing, the virus had a server to run world wide. And once it was destroyed, the virus would have the same fate.
But just as we got closer into the machine and I got the Pen-drive, we were surprised by the Homo-novus Group. They soon captured us. And after I was beaten they started to talk:
- “I won’t blame you. But have to understand that your still as a Human. Fragile and weak, transform yourself in a new being and everything shall be forgotten. Help us conquer the world and the world will be yours too. Since I, president of the Homo-novus was little, I dreamed with the future. Machines, Technology and Obedience. I brought the very same reality to here, now you have a choice. Be with me or die as a miserable Human.” He offered.
At that time, nothing made sense for me. All my hopes and dreams had vanished away as if it never existed. Whether I accepted or not the fate was the same, be a robot or die. At that moment no other choice I had, so I looked into Alice and said. “I prefer die as a human, than never to have peace as a machine. Die other than to contribute to those selfish beings who killed humanity.”
As soon as I said that, they immediately injected myself with a much painful version of the virus, it was called Black Death, this was a modified version of Novaepestis-24th made exclusive for torture. When it got inside I felt all my body burn, I screamed as loud as I could but very fast my hear and see ability had disappeared but the paincontinued. As I cried the same way babies do, the experience to be killed by the virus was the most interesting, you do not have any time to think but only pain and burn. I felt my skin losing touch and finally I could not move. With my head to the direction of Alice I finally said. “Alice, I’m sorry. I love you.” I ended.
But as I saw him dying the Death Angel came to the Homo-novus group.
- “Black Angel, you see your creators and your friends here. Please come to us, and be stronger.” They said.
- “Foolish Human, thou exterminated thy race and recall that victory? Shame on thee Human, the dumbest and most irrational of all animals in existence. Perhaps thou did not realize shall be exterminated thyself. I shall show thee that no spare lasts from thee.”Said the Black Angel.
As he said that, the Black Angel opened his wings with might! He became taller and taller and his eyes started to glow brighter and brighter.
- “Call the robot guards, now” They said.
Soon the room were filled with robots, everyone attacking the Angel Plague, but the Angel itself remained untouched no matter what type of fire, his beak shined with your eyes and your pose seemed as a true Angel of the Death that came not from Earth, but from somewhere mythical. After many attempts the Angel finally shot an aura in return. Blasting everyone away and truly “deleting” their existences! There were codes and numbers flying in the air as you saw the pain of all them, follow by your body soon disappearing until it was finally done.
The Death Angel then turned to me and said.
- ”Alice. Thou art the most beautiful of the creatures. Helped the brave Alter until here. Do never forget your value.” The Death Angel praised me.
- “Now as for thee my colleague. I recall thy life for deserve.” The Death Angel demanded.
I could not believe what was happening, what you could say, the Death Angel seemed to be the very death itself. He controlled life and death trough his AI. The Death Angel gave Alter a part of his cell and soon his entire body started to regenerate. I could not stop to crying, and for the first time for the man I had believed, life had given me the ultimate present. My heart filled with joy and feelings and tears could not be stopped.
Everything was black, but a light appeared. Was I alive or dead? I couldn’t know. The light became brighter and brighter. The hearing came back, my skin once black now was normal and I felt as if re-birthing. I saw Alice crying and at my side a fearless Angel of the Life and the Death. His eyes glowed, and for the first time I felt confidence and hope on him. Me and Alice were unlocked, untied. As soon as we were released, Alice gave me the first kiss in my life. It was hot, warm and strange. The taste was melt and a combination of both saliva together followed by her delicate warm tongue, all of which was good and wonderful.
But soon after that, I got the Pen-drive and finally could finish the system. The moment awaited until I reached the destroy option. As soon as it began, the Death Angel starting fading out, numbers and lights and dust flying in the air until disappearing themselves. His last words were:
-”Humans, what a wonderful creatures! Once they find a way, they build life, health and love. But if they let themselves into false thoughts, they destroy and they kill. Now, Humanity is clear from the eyes of the death. Though a last question still remains. Humans, Alice and Alter. Take care of yourselves, of the world and future. Do not make the same mistakes again. That’s my humble plea.” The Death Angel concluded.
And as he was fading away he curved and bowed to me and Alice. Until finally, he vanish out of existence.
