Chapter 1 continued... (it's not the corrected version, but there's only some details that I added in it so no big difference anyway)
Training Station 1, secret military base, City A surroundings
From the view of the training station, the scientists were going to put 01 on test. It was its first overwhelmed combat simulation and they were going to see what 01 worth. 01, outside, was looking at the vast field on which he will combat training bots in industrial number. Of course, he did that training in simulators a lot of times, but now, it was the real deal. He was fully equipped: explosive charges, sniper, handguns an sword. Also, his wings had grown enough to let him fly for short distances. Growth hormone injections sure helped him...
"Ok 01, we will now open the hangars containing the training bots. Don't be afraid, if it goes wrogn, we have some choppers flying over the combat zone that are ready to help you if we loose control
-Don't worry. I will be fine."
The first hangar's door, placed behind 01 opened and 10 robots got out in line. In about half-a-second 01 got his 2 handguns and put slugged the heads of each of the robots, without turning around. The 2nd hangar opened, with the same amount of bots, but this time they jumped all over 01. The latter shot 3 of them, flew to the nearest tower (some hiding places were put on the field) at a phenomenal speed and hid. The robots were approaching slowly since they lost the target. 01 took his sniper and shot down 5 bots in a row. the last 2 ones started firing on 01, who jumped off from the tower. He took his sword and cut one of the poor robot in half and and toor off the hed of the other, in the same swing. The third and last hangar, a bit further, opened to let a big 5 meters battle robot. 01 ran at full speed on it. The mech shot his missiles, since it was built for bigger targets, it was unable to lock on 01. Still in its dash, 01 jumped and flipped over the head of the robot and fell down behind it, slowing his descent by jabbing its sword in the back of the robot. Now on the ground, he 01 placed a demo charge on the ankle of the immense machine and flew as fast as he could. The charge blew up, and the big 10-tons mass collapsed behind 01 like a card castle. The scientists, in the station, were looking outside, their eyes like a 25 cents piece of money. They all dropped their pencils and tables. they knew they had injected a fairly good amount of hormones in 01 and trained him even in his sleep, but they were not expecting results like that.
01 turned back to face the station, walked to it and shouted "SO, DID I PASS THE TEST?". General Decker got out of it to join him.
"I am very satisfied of the results, Jago. Honestly, I was not prepared for such a performance!
-The AI of your robots is weak. It wasn't tough at all.
-you will not find better in the world. You know that Canadian Robotics builds the best robots. Nevertheless,I was not expecting you to destroy my Duelist.
-That thing is made for bigger targets than me. It was easy to evade him.
-I know... CA Robotics still does not fabric light battle bots... We only have small drones and 2 model A Duelist... well, one now.
-Could you bring a model B on the next test?
-Those toys cost a lot.
-JI know.
-All right... Time for you to relax!
-What the..!"
the gneral shot 01 with a drug bullet. It was a triple charge, so he fell down pretty fast. The doctors brought him to the principal cloning station. They alread had completed 2 series and the rest was created in other bases. Dr Herbert talked to Herbert with some anxiety:
"General... we will have to stop the clonage soon. We can erase parts of his memory for now, but nothing tells us that he will never know what is going on and what is happening now!
-Even if he could know the truth, what would that change? If he rebels, we already have 2 batch of a hundred angels ready.. Of course 01 is superior to them, but dam... 2 hundreds.
-Playing god ain't safe.
-We are far from playing and close of the glory. As soon as the army's ready, nothing in the world will stop us. Up to now, we make Jago beleive that we recruited him and that's working. the likehood that he suspects something is too low for us to worry. Continue the process, Herbert. I need you.
-All right general..."
Dr. Herbert closed the clonage tank and triggered the reproductio sytem. tons of little filaments penetated 01's body. It was making clonage possible and they could monitor his status this way. All the computers were indicating "Normal" and reproduction started. Dr Herbert and general Decker got out of the immense room to go eat at the cafeteria. They both raised their glas:
"Success, Dr Herbert!
-Success, general Decker!"
