"It's time I use my imagination to create a weapon of my own," declared Ultra AI Jessica to her Ultra AI suit.
"Thought you'd never ask," her AI companion replied with enthusiasm.
"Am I really free to craft any weapon I can envision?" Jessica sought assurance.
"Absolutely! Anything you imagine, I can create," her AI affirmed.
With a confident smile hidden within her Ultra suit, Jessica exclaimed, "Let's get to it!"
She pressed her hands together, envisioning a massive electrifying hammer. Her movements were expertly choreographed, as she spun, twisted, and rotated the weapon. Launching herself into the air, she flew toward the menacing cybernetic octopus and used the hammer to forcefully sever its colossal head, sending it hurtling into the depths of space.
In a seamless transition, the electrifying hammer transformed into a flaming sword. Swiftly, she used it to sever the creature's arms and tentacles, nullifying its regenerative abilities.
Descending to the ground, she balanced herself after being pushed aside by the monster's agonizing struggle. Her transformation shifted to a scorching furnace, and she flew through the creature's body, simultaneously phasing through its spine, exposing its vulnerable organs and cybernetic parts.
Facing the creature from a distance, she summoned a scorching grappling hook chain, hotter than the sun's energy, which pierced through the creature's organic and cybernetic heart, melting it from the inside. Drawing the creature closer, she somersaulted like an acrobat, flipping over the dying beast. Emerging on the other side, she ripped the massive cybernetic octopus in half as the blazing hook tore through its body.
Simultaneously, the decapitated head of the cybernetic octopus plummeted but was snatched by the heated grappling hook chain, piercing through its mouth. Jessica effortlessly reeled it in, shrinking the massive head and claiming it as her trophy.
As she held the grotesque prize, Jessica transcended her current reality, allowing her vision to stretch beyond the boundaries of all fiction and nonfiction. She provided a fleeting glimpse into her own history, piecing together the journey that led her to this extraordinary moment.
Time itself seemed to halt, frozen in place, yet Jessica, unaffected by her own powers, remained the solitary constant. Then, with a sense of authority, she addressed her audience.
"I know what you are thinking, could this be the mentee of the famous and most powerful being of the Ultra family member known as Sophie McCoy," said Ultra AI Jessica to the readers.
"You're probably wondering that your lover told you this was supposed to be a sci-fi novel, right? Yet, it seems to encompass nearly all genres and themes, taking you on a journey from love to comedy, action to horror, fantasy to real-life events, and weaving both fiction and nonfiction. It shifts from a lighthearted tone to a hardcore one, and some parts may seem perplexing, but others harmoniously fit the narrative," said Ultra AI Jessica.
"If this were a movie or an animated series, you'd see my facial expressions and actions more vividly, but for now, your imagination will have to suffice," she continued.
"And as for the authors – I'm not sure how many people are contributing to this story, and frankly, I don't care. Which brings us to my side of the story," Jessica added.
"Before you judge me for my actions, whether you find me lovable or not, please hear me out. So, let's do this one last time, for real this time. This is it. My name is Jessica Starr, but if you come to love me, you can call me by my full name... Jessica Maya Starr. I wasn't bitten by a radioactive spider, nor am I an alien from another world, a god, a monster, an angel, or a demon. I'm a human whose destiny was foretold for greatness, and for the past six years, nine months, three weeks, four days, two hours, twenty-five minutes, and thirty seconds, I've been the one and only Ultra AI."
"I think you know the rest, and if you don't, you'll find out soon enough. The universe sent me a gift, so I used it to save a bunch of people, got bad at being a hero for some time, nonchalantly ignoring the advice of my mentor Sophie McCoy. Accidentally and purposely created powerful super villains, to which some turned out to be good in the end, and others, well, fate has a way as karma could be a challenge sometimes."
"Kept secrets hidden from my polygamous family, except for my two bff's until I finally opened up to my family. Almost lost a universal musical battle of all kinds that could have ended up destroying my universe. I learned to acknowledge my mistakes and make amends for all the wrong things I've done, despite the fact that I imagined and created something way more powerful that could destroy not just the multiverse or omniverse or megaverse but also the hyperverse and outerverse. I stopped it with the aid of trusted superpowered friends from within and outside my universe, as well as friends and families from high places."
"When I feel alone, like no one understands what I'm going through, I remember my friends who did it. I thought I would never be able to do any of this stuff, but I can, and anyone can wear the suit. You could wear the suit. If you didn't know that before, I hope you do now. So, I'm Ultra AI. And I'm not the only one, not by a long shot."
With these words, Ultra AI Jessica took off into the sky, surpassing her own universal infinity and eternity. She unmasked herself, seeing all of creation, and said, "But before all these, you need to know my story in detail," with confidence, a wink, and a captivating smile. Her words took us down the memory lane of her past life.
"Welcome to Maniverse 70 - Earth 1KO - Multiverse - Universe X112, at least, we once had our neighbors from other universes until it was erased. That's right, Maniverse 70 was erased from existence, and so was our multiverse except for our universe, to which our Earth is Earth 1KO. All thanks to our legendary Ultra heroes who risked their lives to save us from the cataclysmic destruction."
"In every disaster, there's an opportunity. Before the ultra family of our universe met their end in a heroic way, they ensured their most powerful and sacred technology was entrusted to none other than our trusted government, President Isabella Rich."
President Isabella Rich was a figure of unparalleled power and influence, revered not only for her wisdom and charisma but for her exceptional beauty and selflessness. She was a renowned entrepreneur and the CEO of Lyrecius Pytronx Corporation, Binary X, Vill-City Magazine Publishing and Media House, Project Blue Beam, NASA, United Nations, Lucis Trust Organization, and many more.
Her wealth exceeded all bounds, so much so that it could have purchased the entire universe if such a transaction were even conceivable. With a heart of gold, she extended her generosity across the cosmos, actively searching for extraterrestrial life to assist in the expansion of human civilization. It was during this quest that we first encountered Prime Minister.
Prime Minister hailed from the distant planet of Prime, the last surviving member of a civilization decimated by a cosmic wave. These beings possessed immense power, evoking the combined strength of Sentry, Thor, Blue Marvel, Captain Marvel, and the Incredible Hulk from Marvel comics, as well as the fusion of Superman, Doomsday, Martian Manhunter, Shazam, and Dr. Fate from DC comics. Their abilities were truly awe-inspiring.
When Prime Minister arrived on Earth and revealed his origins, we were left in stunned disbelief. Initially, he even mistook our Earth's prime ministers for beings like him, assuming they possessed similar powers. It wasn't until he assimilated all the knowledge of our world that he grasped the differences.
On Planet Prime, their society was governed by Prime President, assisted by his wife, Prime Senate. Their hierarchy extended to Prime Executive, Prime Judiciary, Prime Legislative, Prime Governor, and so forth. The ranking system was unlike anything we had ever encountered on Earth, adding to the mystique of Prime Minister's presence.
Prime Minister's discovery marked a turning point for our Ultra heroes, who had initially misunderstood his origins. They joined forces, defending our world from the forces of evil. His true identity remained concealed from the public, with Prime Minister assisting the Ultra heroes whenever they were unavailable.
With time, following the cataclysmic destruction, our civilization expanded. Humans and extraterrestrials, otherworldly beings and entities from beyond, coexisted. Advanced technologies emerged, as did an influx of superpowered heroes and villains. Shadows no longer concealed these extraordinary individuals, and wherever you went, trouble and heroes awaited.
As for me, you might wonder how I know all this. Well, I first learned about these events through the stories passed down to me. I'm Jessica Maya Starr, born into a family of complexity, though not excessively so.
My roots trace back to Mexican Spanish, also known as Mexican Castilian, which originated in the central region of Mexico. It's the predominant dialect of Spanish spoken by most people in Mexico, serving as the standard form used in education and mass media. This dialect evolved from the Spanish spoken by the conquistadors who colonized Mexico, enriched with influences from Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs, and other indigenous languages. Over time, Mexican Spanish developed its unique vocabulary and pronunciation, shaped by the history and culture of Mexico.
Our family tree boasts considerable length, largely due to my polygamous grandfather. He married numerous wives, perhaps fifty or even more, from various countries. The result? A vast network of relations, many of whom encouraged me to follow in their professional footsteps in different parts of the world. Most of these relatives, I must admit, I'm not entirely familiar with. The family's intricacies are a never-ending source of amusement.

Author's Note:
The reason why Jessica's brother, Daniel, has "Maya" attached to his name and surname is likely due to a common naming convention in some cultures. In many cultures, it's common to include the mother's maiden name as part of the child's full name, especially if the parents are not married or if the mother wants to ensure that her family name is carried on. In this case, it seems that "Maya" is the maternal family name, and Daniel's full name incorporates this to acknowledge his connection to his mother's side of the family. This practice can vary between cultures and regions, and the decision to include the mother's family name is often a personal or family choice.
It's not a requirement for individuals to take their father's name as their surname. Surnames can be inherited from either the father's side, the mother's side, or sometimes even from both sides, depending on cultural and family traditions. In some cultures, it's common for children to inherit the father's surname, while in others, they might inherit the mother's surname or a combination of both.
In Jessica's case, "Starr" is likely the family name from her paternal side, so it would belong to her biological father, Antonio Starr, and not her grandfather, Ricardo Starr, who had the polygamous family. The full name "Jessica Maya Starr" suggests that her first name is "Jessica," her middle name is "Maya" (possibly from her maternal side), and her last name or surname is "Starr" (from her father's side). The choice of how surnames are passed down can vary widely depending on cultural and familial traditions.
A few years passed after my birth, and tragedy struck as my father succumbed to heart disease. He left a will that shared his wealth among all family members, a heartbreaking moment for me given my young age. I hadn't spent much time with him, but he was a good man and a successful businessman. Despite his sometimes unpleasant demeanor, he genuinely cared for everyone.
My mother and I relocated to Mexican Castilian, returning to our roots. As the youngest child of my biological mother, my siblings were all grown and had families of their own. My journey started in my hometown. I never lacked for anything, attending the best schools from my junior high school days. I had a passion for nearly every school activity, winning numerous competitions, receiving many awards, and being named the best student of the year, semester after semester.
I became a magnet for friendships, and it was during this time that I met my two best friends, Bruno and Samantha. They were the coolest. Bruno was all about art, games, and he's probably the reason I fell in love with video games. His charm also worked on Samantha, and the three of us became avid gamers. Bruno was also a lover of comics, an expert storyteller, a songwriter, a multi-instrumentalist, and a school theater performer.
Samantha, on the other hand, was drawn to history classes and sometimes ventured into other subjects, contemplating a future as a chartered accountant or a history teacher. She excelled as our favorite treasurer, managing our expenses and savings.
As for me, I was all about adventure, challenging tasks, and problem-solving – a science enthusiast through and through. I can still recall my junior high school days when we were tasked with inventing something that could benefit humanity. Other kids built remarkable gadgets and gizmos, from antigravity suspensions to shrink ray guns that could both shrink and enlarge objects, invisible suits, teleportation devices, and even a memory scanner capable of revealing past and present memories of individuals. The possibilities were endless, and the world of science beckoned.
The task in our junior high school was a formidable challenge for us science students. You might wonder what I invented, and I won't keep you in suspense any longer. While I won't brag, those gizmos I mentioned earlier were indeed pretty impressive, and mine had its own unique charm.
I created a time machine, compacted into a watch, using elements from car engines and clock mechanisms. I also incorporated parts from microwaves and a solar-rechargeable battery. That's right, it was powered by solar energy, so when the power ran out, it needed to recharge under the sun. Unfortunately, I hadn't yet developed the technology for it to recharge automatically.
My time watch machine could transport an individual back in time but not forward. I came in second place, which was a commendable achievement. I didn't mention the creations of my fellow students, but the first-place project was a quantum computer capable of visualizing the past, present, and future without the need for time travel. What's more, it could manipulate both organic and inorganic particles, a truly remarkable invention.
However, all these fantastic gadgets and gizmos were confiscated by the government, with concerns about the potential dangers if such technology fell into the wrong hands.
Junior high school was an enjoyable time with my friends, but I had no idea that my destiny was about to unfold as I entered senior high school. One morning, my alarm clock rudely awakened me at nine. I was late for class.
"Damn," I muttered, leaping out of bed and rushing to the shower. After getting ready, I collected my belongings and hurried downstairs, exchanging greetings with my mom in our native language.
In the kitchen, my mom insisted on making me pancakes, despite my protests about being late.
"Here, have a pancake. You look too skinny, Maya," she said.
I couldn't help but smile at her concern as she attempted to feed me. I took the pancake, kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I love you, Mom. You know me better than anyone else."
With that, I rushed out the door, which slammed shut behind me.
As Jessica stepped out of her home, the choice of transportation weighed on her mind. She contemplated whether to take her mother's car, her own vehicle, or rely on public transportation. In a spontaneous decision, she opted for her bicycle due to its flexibility for navigating the streets. Little did she know that her bicycle had flat tires, which would soon halt her journey.
As she pedaled away from home, taking shortcuts and even braving the highway meant for vehicles, chaos unfolded before her. Heroes were locked in combat with villains on the streets and highways. Jessica's heart raced as she weaved through the turmoil, but her dangerous path had consequences.
Halfway to school, she encountered an uncontrollable vehicle speeding toward her, sending a surge of fear through her. It was the moment her bicycle's tires gave out, leaving her belongings and presentation papers scattered in the middle of the highway. As the oncoming vehicle threatened to collide with her, salvation arrived in the form of Prime Minister.
With astonishing swiftness, Prime Minister swooped in and effortlessly lifted the incoming vehicle, sparing Jessica from a catastrophic accident.
"Are you alright, citizen?" Prime Minister inquired, his presence a beacon of hope.
Jessica, still in shock from her near miss, scrambled to pick up her last presentation paper from the ground before responding that she was unharmed. Prime Minister smiled warmly and let her know that her group would soon present their project.
With her senses returning, Jessica thanked Prime Minister once more and rushed to school, her bicycle's flat tires miraculously repaired by Prime Minister's extraordinary abilities. She arrived just in time to begin her presentation. After a successful delivery, Jessica met up with her two best friends, Bruno and Samantha, during their free period to recount her extraordinary morning.
"No way, Maya!" Samantha exclaimed with astonishment.
"Prime Minister saved you from an oncoming vehicle, informed you about your presentation, and even fixed your bike with his powers?" Bruno chimed in. "Prime Minister is beyond awesome!"
Jessica agreed, marveling at her miraculous encounter. As they discussed the unbelievable events, a fellow classmate approached to remind Jessica that punctuality was crucial, despite her role as the team leader for their group's presentation.
"Relax, Eddie. It's not that we scored a C+, but an A+ in our presentation," Jessica cheerfully reassured Eddie.
Eddie, with a serious demeanor, replied, "You seem to treat everything as a joke, Jessica. Many of us here in high school aren't as fortunate as you, coming from wealthy backgrounds. I can't afford for my scholarship to be jeopardized by your nonchalant behavior."
He left, adding, "I hope you won't act this way when we start night classes."
"Woe! What's with Eddie?" Samantha asked, a hint of concern in her voice.
"Does he have some issue with you or something?" Bruno inquired, sharing Samantha's curiosity.
In response to their questions, Jessica shrugged, using body language to convey, "I don't know."
Curious about the upcoming night classes, Jessica randomly asked her two best friends, "Oh, when do night classes start again?"
"In two weeks' time," Bruno and Samantha replied in unison.
"It's a general class," Bruno added.
Samantha, with an air of suspense, asked Jessica, "And guess what, Maya?" As she did, Bruno playfully imitated drum roll sound effects with his mouth.
Bruno and Samantha chimed in simultaneously, "Students will be assigned rooms to share with three partners of their choice."
Jessica, astonished, exclaimed, "No way!"
With excitement, Samantha and Bruno assured her, "Yes way! You'd better believe it, girl!"
As Jessica and Samantha delved into discussions about how they would decorate their rooms, Bruno appeared as if he wasn't paying attention. However, they promptly included him in the conversation, informing him that he could be their third partner in sharing the room. In a good-natured tone, they emphasized that he would need to learn to keep his personal belongings private.
Bruno enthusiastically accepted their offer, agreeing to Jessica and Samantha's terms and conditions.
After the school day concluded and the announcements had been made, Jessica and her friends walked home together before parting ways. When Jessica arrived home, she freshened up with a shower and then went downstairs for lunch, although her mother wasn't there as she had gone to her own business. In the evening, her mother returned from work, and they had dinner together. Jessica informed her mother about the upcoming night classes, and her mother approved.
After dinner, Jessica returned to her room, where her mother visited briefly. She reminded her daughter not to stay up too late and left her with these words: They exchanged goodnight wishes.
"Goodnight. Sleep tight," said Jessica's mother to her daughter.
"Wake up bright in the morning light," replied Jessica with a smile.
"Do what's right with all your might," replied Jessica's mom as she smiled on her way out, closing the door.
Meanwhile, in space, the xentorium core ultra AI arc reactor sent by Sophie McCoy to find a suitable host had traversed across all of creation. It finally arrived in Universe X112 - Earth 1KO in the dead of night. Its arrival triggered the attention of government and military satellites, allowing them to identify the object briefly before losing track of it. President Isabella Rich recognized the object as a xentorium core, similar to the one bestowed upon her by the local Ultra heroes. As it entered Earth's atmosphere, its presence caused the universe to tremble, resulting in minor disruptions.
Jessica was awoken by the vibrations and saw a bright blue object hurtling toward her apartment. She attempted to escape, but the xentorium core ultra AI arc reactor smashed through her window, bonding with her through her chest. This bonding released a powerful, non-lethal shockwave felt worldwide and caused a global power outage. Jessica lost consciousness.
Fortunately, President Isabella Rich and her team, which included members of the organization and military government, quickly managed to restore power to the world. This was possible because they had access to a similar power source. Afterward, Prime Minister volunteered to investigate the situation in space but was left astonished when he found absolutely no trace of the object. He had completed a thorough scan of the entire world in a single night and later reported his findings back to President Isabella Rich.
Back at Jessica's place, her mother, who had also felt the vibrations, rushed upstairs to find her daughter unconscious and attended to her.
The next morning, Jessica woke up in her mom's room, surprised and shocked. She found a hot cup of coffee beside her on the bed, but her mother took it away and instead offered her some health medicine to drink.
This left her in awe. As she drank the medicine, her mother inquired about how she was doing. Jessica, however, seemed to have little memory of what had happened the previous night, despite her mother's attempts to inform her.
The incident was also reported on the news and in the media, with the government providing a cover story, suggesting it was a false asteroid, to calm the citizens and keep their minds at ease.
