"C'mon, we need to move before someone sees us," said Christine in a panic.
"Hold your horses, Christine. I'm almost done," replied Jonathan, who was hacking into an ATM machine. He finally gained access to it when it began to rain money.
"Hey you! Stop there!" shouted the policeman who spotted the little thieves as they hurriedly picked up some cash and ran with it. The police officer chased them behind. Suddenly, it began to rain when they almost reached a dead end. Christine was able to hack into the systems with a device Jonathan built, which granted them access into a restricted area. They lost track of the police officer who was after them and, upon entering deeper into the restricted area filled with advanced technological systems and power units.
"Wow! This is some next level high-tech shit sitting around in some weird-looking Area 51 bunker," Jonathan exclaimed. "This is amazing, Christine. With such access to this, we could literally rob the entire Vill City bank and never get caught."
"We can become..." said Jonathan.
"Super rich!" they both said at once.
"And never will we have to suffer again," said Christine as they brought out their hacking devices and began stealing all the information from it. Jonathan went to another location where he found some cool gadgets and highly evolved tech.
"This must be the government's top-secret weapon for world domination," Jonathan said to himself as the weather began to give unusual signs. He went closer to the gadgets and began to try them all out, even putting on a self-rechargeable tech suit, which has a super-advanced computer interface capable of hacking and controlling other drones and defensive systems. He took a flash grenade, miniature gun ray, and accidentally activated the camouflage in the suit before getting a hang of it. As it is also able to fly without a rocket launcher, the suit grants immense superhuman strength.
Jonathan began displaying some cool moves to himself when Christine came to him after she was successful with her own work.
"Uh! Are you kidding me? You look ridiculous in that," said Christine. "We need to leave, Jonathan. I don't feel safe around this place being exposed."
"A minute, please, to wrap this up to go," replied Jonathan as Christine walked away from him when a lightning bolt came crashing down on them as Jonathan tried saving his twin sister as they both got hit.
Luckily, the suit was able to protect both from the lightning strike after the explosive shockwave that caused every gadget and technology to mix together with various chemical components as well. A piece of highly equipped chip tech was able to find its way into Christine's brain, affecting her hippocampus. The nanites had mixed with her cells, absorbing the entire submicroscopic chip into her DNA. The same happened to Jonathan, but in a different way, with the suit merging with his skin entirely, making him unable to remove it. It attracted other high-gear tech in combination with the suit.
After the lightning strike, Christine and Jonathan both got up, feeling a little dizzy. Suddenly, Christine's eyes began to glow with binary numbers and codes, making her look like an advanced AI system. However, they both passed out unconscious. Luckily, they were found by police and scientists who took them to the hospital. Jonathan and Christine were placed in separate rooms for medical examinations and checkups. The doctors were amazed at what they had found and had to call in more professionals, including scientists and experts in their field.
In Jonathan's case, they found that the suit of armor had become attached to his skin and had dissolved it completely. They realized that if they removed it with brutal force, it would kill him. The doctors were amazed by what they had witnessed, calling it "scientifically outstanding" and "beyond human capabilities." They saw this fusion of human and technology as the next evolution in human immortality and a way to break human limits.
As they were discussing this, Christine woke up and was worried about her brother. The doctors tried to calm her down and inject her back to sleep, but she was able to sense and connect with technology, so she fried their systems and hacked into the hospital's network to find out where her brother was. When security tried to trap her, she used their technology against them to escape.
Christine made her way to floor thirteen, where she could feel the impact of her brother being operated on. She unstrapped him and was about to leave when a guard spotted her and was about to taser her. However, when he saw Christine's eyes, which had changed into a computerized version of electronics, he was frightened and unable to pull the trigger. Christine helped her exhausted brother up to the hallway, where they slowly regained consciousness and saw on the news that Ultra AI had become aware and that they were being hailed as heroes.
An officer then appeared and pointed his gun at them, telling them to stop and surrender. However, Christine couldn't feel any technology in him, and the lights began to flicker, causing the officer to shoot in fear. Jonathan caught every bullet in midair with his super speed, appearing right in front of the officer, who was then thrown aside and the place was shattered.
Christine called out to her brother, and he turned to look at her. Jonathan's body had become coated with nanotech fiber material, making him look like a cyborg. His eyes and most of his body were mechanized with nanotechnology, and only his face was partially secured.
Every step he took cracked the ground beneath him, but not with brutal force. He walked up to his sister, who was surprised to see Jonathan's look and shed tears. "What have they done to you?" asked Christine. "They're animals," she said.
During their moment of unity, Jonathan felt the heat sensors and vibration of the human heart readings. He turned towards the location and pointed his hand, which had a laser pointer pointing at the victim who was calm and unharmed. He came in peace to the siblings at their moment. Christine could sense lots of technology from him as Jonathan scanned through him and noticed he wasn't a threat.
"My name is Dr. Henry Monroe," said the man who introduced himself to the teenagers. "I know how you feel, and I know who you are, but don't think of this as a curse, but a blessing. You are the future generations of living technology, unlike the public wannabe hero known as Ultra AI, whose identity isn't known yet. But I can be of help to you, to enhance you both and take good care of you. You deserve better, a better future, and we can give it to you. After all, you're super twins."
He handed them his card for any information they needed to know and told them where they could find him. Behind the card was the Lyrecius Corp logo. The kids took the card, and Jonathan carried Christine and took off through the window in a rocket flight projection.
Some time later, an outbreak occurred in jail, which left the VCPF stunned to witness as a certain group of bandits were let loose by two super-powered beings. As the smoke cleared, the two super-powered beings released those who were going to work for them in return for their freedom.
"OMG!" said a policeman in astonishment, while another tried calling for backup but had his signal hacked and was fired upon by one of the super-powered beings. The other powered being called out to the gang boss and informed him of their proposal, which he agreed to.
"And what's the mission?" asked the gang boss.
"A heist," replied one of the super-powered beings.
Meanwhile, at the McCoys, Peter was having a blissful day with his family outside their home when he heard a frequency that only he could hear. Suddenly an explosion occurred, which stunned everyone and could be heard coming from Vill-City High.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"Trouble never ceases in Vill-City," said Mason. "Luckily we've got Ultra AI to take care of business."
Peter heard this and sent a clone to investigate what was going on in Vill-City High without anyone noticing, while the real Peter McCoy stayed with his family. The Ultra AI clone flew over to investigate, only to see the criminals who were responsible for the previous incident that occurred during their heist for the advanced laser tag. Ultra AI stood to confront them.
"Didn't I put you guys in jail?" asked Ultra AI. "You know how it ends, with you going back."
"Meh!" replied the gang boss. "You see, we've got someone on our side."
"Oh, here! I'd like to meet them after I put you guys in jail," said Ultra AI. "And what tech did you steal this time in broad daylight?"
"Something more advanced than laser tag. You're probably aware of it, Ultra AI," replied the gang boss. "Anyway, we take our leave now as you get busy with our partner."
They began making their escape when a massive firepower was shot at Ultra AI, which brought it down on top of a roof building. What appeared before Ultra AI was something still in development, a half-man, half-machine. A cyborg, to be precise.
Ultra AI stared at the object in front of him, preparing to scan it, but his system was momentarily disrupted, as if someone was hacking into it. "Stay down!" a cyborg voice commanded, and Ultra AI realized there were two figures standing before him.
"Isn't that cute," one of them said. "We've heard stories about you, seen you on TV. And to be honest, your tech is impressive – it's almost like it's alive, or completely alive."
The other figure, a woman, turned to her partner and said, "Brother, what we have here is a rare opportunity for us to show just how powerful we are to Ultra AI. What I'm sensing from his tech is probably a living, sentient sentinel that is far beyond any tech we've ever encountered. It's like it's not just a piece of tech, but something that's bonded with tech. Its sources are limitless. Imagine if we could get a hold of this technology, or whatever it's bonded to. I doubt what Ultra AI has at his disposal is even man-made technology – if not beyond technology. It seems our hero doesn't understand the capabilities of his possession. It's like he carries the entire universe at his disposal."
Ultra AI attempted to get up, but to no avail. "You ain't going anywhere, sweetie," the woman said. "I know all about you, and I know you know all about us."
"With such powers at your disposal, you could do good with it," Ultra AI replied. "You don't have to be this way. The world needs heroes like you to help defend her people."
"Like how you did with Tetraman?" she retorted. "Oh wait, Tetraman was evil. That's out of the way. Or what about Techno Witch? Was she given a tryout, and how's that working for you against the Oceanians? Wow! You really do have a lot of foes that are up against you, aside from the human bandits."
"I have an idea," the woman said, suddenly cheerful. "Since I'm very much into Techno Witch's past and I loved... I mean love, because I still do, I want to be something like her, but not go by her name. I think I should be called The Hacker. What do you think, brother? Although I would have gone with Techno Girl, but my brother here will do the honors by being called Tekno Boy. After all, we're super twins... I wish I could see and tell who's underneath that armor. Shall we?"
The Hacker reached out to Ultra AI's armor to try to unveil the person inside, but was disappointed to find out that it was just a holographic projection. Just then, another clone of Ultra AI appeared and took the two by surprise. Tekno Boy tried to challenge Ultra AI, but was quickly defeated. The Hacker attempted to use her skills, but was also defeated. Before Ultra AI could take them into custody, they disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Teleportation," Ultra AI said to himself.
They arrived at Dr. Henry Monroe's secret hideout, along with the bandit who had aided them in stealing what was needed. "So this is the man we're working for," the gang boss said. "Remind me why we're doing this for a backstabbing, narcissistic Lyrecius Corp scientist?"
Suddenly, they heard the heavy breath of a sick child in a wheelchair, who carried oxygen wherever she went. Her father, Dr. Henry Monroe, informed them of what they were about to do and promised to fulfill his promises to them.
"Did you get it?" asked Dr. Henry Monroe as the gang boss and his bandits laid the items before him on a table.
"What's wrong, child?" Dr. Henry Monroe asked the two siblings, of whom he could tell had confronted Ultra AI. The hacker informed him of their encounter and defeat, as well as the potential of Ultra AI. Upon hearing this, Dr. Henry Monroe wasn't surprised as he had already figured out the key secret that Mr. Lyrecius was hiding from the world.
Dr. Henry Monroe went down memory lane, saying:
"It was my genuine intellect that gave Mr. Lyrecius the key to unlocking the secret of the universe. After Ultra AI had shot down Super Seven Twenty-Two, a powerful humanoid android made with possibly 100% the second-toughest material in the Maniverse and tested with the Xentorium core fragments within Lyrecius Corp's organization, Ultra AI infused a piece of Xentorium core that was the perfect match for harnessing the greatest power in the cosmos. But one thing Mr. Lyrecius wasn't aware of was that the Super Humanoids weren't just the most powerful materials in the cosmos but were meant to serve as an armor for our hero in town. Imagine Ultra AI getting hold of what was meant to be his; it would be greater than the Maniverse itself, let alone villains like Tetraman from the most powerful universe in the multiverse, who could barely keep up with Ultra AI's current level of power."
"And with what you've delivered to me, just as we planned, here lies the Super Humanoids infused with all of that I've mentioned. And now, I have it all to cure and make my daughter whole again. It will be a watchful guardian to my little Becky, and only she will have access to this vast wonder of the universe."
"Just like I promised, here are your payments," said Dr. Henry Monroe, who paid the bandits as they left and also offered Tekno Boy his lost voice during his upgrade stages and enhanced him with an alloy nanotechnology made from various element materials such as Tungsten, Steel alloys like Damascus steel, Titanium, Chromium, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Magnesium, Iridium, Tetrenium, and Xentorium core fragments.
He put his hand on Tekno Boy, who gained his voice back in an instant. Dr. Henry Monroe also informed him about his unique abilities that came with his upgrades and many more that he would figure out on his own. After all was said and done, he thanked them and went on with his work.
"What will you do, Dr. Monroe?" asked Tekno Boy, with Dr. Henry Monroe almost finishing up with his work. He turned to Tekno Boy and said some inspiring and motivating words.
After he finished his work, he placed his little girl Becky inside a cocoon-like embryo that had two tubes connected and linked together, as the process began. He then said his final words to the siblings, pointing the gun to his head and asked the siblings to leave before the countdown expires, and then he shot himself. Immediately he shot himself, the countdown expired and began to open. What the siblings saw was ineffable, and they fled in an instant.
