Chapter 4:

A new form.

Crystal Wings


Karma wakes up in his dorm room. It was night time.

Karma: Wait, it was a dream all along?

He gets up from bed. The goes to the washroom.

Karma: I've been so depressed lately, I guess it was just a dream. But It would be awesome if it weren't-

Karma looks at the mirror. He sees that his right arm transformed into a robotic one, there was also a big laser sticking out of his palm.

Karma: So... it wasn't a dream?

He gets out of the washroom. He goes to sin in his bed. He was quite surprised about it. He becomes curious and starts examining his own body. He goes in front of a mirror and looks at himself.

Karma: They said they replaced one of my eyes with an artificial one. But I see no difference. Do I have to activate it or something?

Karma lies in bed. He remembers that the speaker said that he also had an AI companion.

Karma: The AI companion... How do I activate that?

AI: Seems like you're thinking about me, what's the matter?

Karma was shocked. He felt like he heard a voice. There was another voice in his head other than his own. The AI is planted directly on Karma's brain so it can communicate with Karma through the nerves in the brain.

Karma: How did you know?

AI: I'm planted in your brain's nerves. Therefore I know what you are thinking.

Karma: That's a bit creepy. I feel like someone is stalking me.

AI: There is nothing you can do about it.

Karma: Are you the AI that the speaker was talking about?

AI: Yes.

Karma: What's your name?

AI: It isn't given to me yet. By the rules, the owner will give me a name.

Karma: Then, can I call you Lightbot?

AI: It's fine by me.

Karma: Okay.

AI: Another thing that I have to tell you.

Karma: What is it?

AI: You don't have to speak out loud when you talk to me. You can just think what you want to say and I can understand it.

Karma: Wait really?

AI: Yes.

Karma starts testing if it does actually works. And it does.

Karma: That made my life ten times easier. Now people won't call me a psychopath when I'm talking to you.

Karma: But how do I hide this big ass laser in my hand?

AI: The easiest method is to keep that hand in your pocket. But the drawback is that you have to keep it in your pocket in all times.

Karma: I guess its not that bad.

Karma starts to keep his hand in his pocket.

Karma: Hey lightbot, give me some information about my body.

AI: Okay. I'm on it.

Lightbot starts analysing and gathering information about Karma's body.

Lightbot: So, this is what I found after analysing. Your robotic body has four different modes. They are normal, cyborg, beast, and suicide mode arranged according to their powers. You are currently in normal mode. You have a slightly more power than an average human. During cyborg mode, you can use only .1 percent of your power and activate primary photographic memory. No side effects are noticed.

Karma: That doesn't sound impressive. Only 0.1 percent of my power, huh?

Lightbot: The third mode is beast mode, you can activate 50 percent of your power and activate secondary photographic memory, which means you can record videos with your eye. But the side effects are that you will become extremely exhausted.

Karma: That's interesting. What about suicide mode?

Lightbot: Yes, and about the suicide mode, you are able to activate 100 percent of your power attain the ultimate photographic eye, also known as the 'Death Eye'. With this your eye turns into a powerful laser which can turn anything to ash within one kilometre radius. You can also modify your arm into whatever shape you like.

Karma: Thats cool.

Lightbot: It has drawbacks though. The drawbacks are your body moves so fast that it puts such a toll in your heart that it literally bursts open resulting in death of the host. Thus it's name, the suicide mode.

Karma: To unleash my full power, I have to sacrifice my life?

Lightbot: Technically, yes. I do recommend you not to use it unless its really necessary.

Karma: I know that. I don't want to die.

Lightbot: Thats good to hear. Because if you die, I die too.

Karma: How do I activate these modes anyway?

Lightbot: You can ask me which mode you want to activate and I will activate it for you.

Karma: What if you refuse?

Lightbot: I have no option to refuse. I can only recommend and if you don't accept my recommendation, then I will do your orders.

Karma: Oh. Its that easy to operate?

Lightbot: Yes. Dark plasma makes cyborgs so that they are easy to use under difficult situations.

Karma: Okay.

Karma goes out of his dorm. It was nighttime. He heads to the field.

Karma: Time to test if it's really worth my previous body.

He looks around to see if anybody was there.

Karma: Nobody is here, it is perfect.

He still double checks if anybody is near or not. Then he says,

Karma: Lightbot, activate cyborg mode.

Lightbot: Okay, I'm on it.

Karma's body transforms. He turns into a cyborg. He is amazed at his new body.

Lightbot: Transform complete, 0.1 percent power ready, primary photographic memory activated.

Karma: Alright, let's see how it goes.

Karma decides to run to see. He starts to run. But surprisingly, he was running at MACH 10 speed.

Karma: The heck. It this supposed to be only 0.1 percent power?

Karma: The heck this is amazing! Whats the MACH speed in beast and suicide mode?

Lightbot: Its MACH 5000 at beast mode and MACH 10000 at suicide mode.

Larma: What the hell, this is amazing.

Lightbot: I agree.

In the meantime, a guard comes to check if everything is in order. The guard notices that someone is in the field.

Guard: Who's there?

Karma: Oops, looks like we have been spotted.

Karma flees away. With this speed, the guard couldn't catch up. He can now also jump very high. He goes out of the school grounds.

Karma: This is fun. I feel like I'm enjoying life after a very long time.

He was going around aimlessly. Then he had an idea.

Karma: Lightbot, activate beast mode.

Lightbot: You sure? Your body needs to adapt to your new body parts.

Karma: I'm sure.

Lightbot: Aight, on it.

Karma then transforms into beast mode. No notable changes was seen in his body. It's just that the colour of his veins was darker and it seems to be glowing. Karma then goes roams around the whole country. He also takes pictures with his photographic eye.

But roaming in his country didn't make him satisfied. The he did what the most sane person would do. Or you can say, the most "Insane" person would do. That is, to roam around the whole world. What else did he miss? The Eiffel tower, the twin tower, London, Paris, etc etc etc.... Then he was about to go to other places, but the sun started to peep.

Karma: Oh, thats bad. I have school tomorrow. Better get going.

He then rushed to the dorms. But then he realised, it was still nighttime in japan. He forgot about the time difference. But it didn't bother because he is tired anyway. He sits in his bed.

Karma: That was fun. Hey lightbot, activate normal mode.

Lightbot: On it.

Karma: Lightbot, copy the pictures that I've captured into my phone.

Lightbot: I already did it.

Karma: How did you know?

Lightbot: While you're on the journey you thought of to tell me to copy it to the phone after. That's how I know.

Karma: It's so good it's actually scary.

Lightbot: Agreed.

Karma: What?

Lightbot: What.

Karma:Ow, what is that pain.

Lightbot: It's the side effects. I told you not to use beast mode so early.

Karma: Whatever.

Lightbot: I know that you are trying to hide your pain.

Karma: Stop spying on me.

Lightbot: I'm you.

Karma: Are you trying to be creepy?

Lightbot: No, it's a joke.

Karma: Robots are not suited to make jokes I see.

Lightbot: Don't forget that I only copy your personality.

Karma: Whatever.

Lightbot: You can't get out of an argument with just saying whatever.

Karma: Yea yea, at this point I'm just arguing with myself.

Lightbot: Using my word's against me?

Karma: You're me, and I'm you. So, in fact it's also my words.

Lightbot: Reasonable argument.

Karma: See, you can't win an argument with me.

Lightbot: But I'm you, so that means you can't win an argument with yourself?

Karma: It's getting confusing. I'm going to sleep.

Lightbot: I agree.

Karma goes to sleep.
