Detective Stareye is a fictional character created by me.
1.1. Creation of the Universe.
In the void, nothing but darkness exists. A sphere of light emerges, penetrating through the night like a sword. The sphere of light turns into a humanoid-shaped being. It looks around but sees nothing. An idea comes into its mind, and the being curls up into a ball. It disintegrates into multiple spheres, with two giant spheres located in the middle of them. The sphere on the left, a spirit orb, is orange while the sphere on the right, a soul orb, is blue. The orange spirit orb turns into a man, and the blue soul orb turns into a woman. The male is orange, while the female is blue with white hair. The male is Patrio, and the woman is Matria. They open their eyes at the same time. They look around and see the sea of spheres glowing around them. There seems to be billions of them, and they start to change into different colors. They look down at their hands, and light appears around them. They look at each other in amazement. Curious about the result, Matria and Patrio extend one of their hands out to each other, and they connect. Then the light coming out of their hands expands, and engulfs them and the other orbs...
Matria opens her eyes. She is standing up and looking out of a window in her office, located at the end of the room behind her desk. She watches people in their human and animal forms walking, and/or talking, with each other. The sun has started to set, bathing the landscape in an orange glow. Suddenly, Patrio walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her.
Man:
They're here.
Matria smiles, sinking into the warm of Patrio's huge muscles. Patrio towers over her.
Matria:
Hey handsome.
Patrio:
King and Queen cyborg are here.
Matria:
Alright. Let's go.
1.2. Technodroid is Born.
They walk down towards a new room, titled "Sphere Chamber," and enter it. Inside, the room is circular in form. Near the entrance, on the left, an elevator that leads up to an observatory. In it, a man and a woman are inside it. They watch from above as Matria and Patrio walk towards a couple located in the center of the room. The couple, a man and woman, have metallic skin. They are King and Queen Cyborg, rulers of the race of cyborgs. At the end of the room, two orbs float above the floor.
Queen Cyborg:
Sorry for being late, mother Matria and father Patrio.
Matria:
No worries, your highness. We're here almost 24/7. Besides, this is a big day for you two. Are you ready to choose your child?
King Cyborg:
Yes. We've been thinking about this all week.
Patrio rubs his hands together in excitement.
Patrio:
Alright then. Let's get started!
The four of them walk up to the two orbs at the end of the room.
Matria:
These are the last two spirit orbs left. Let's see which one will be your match.
The orbs on the right is black with a white glow around it, while the left orb is white with an orange glow around it. The white orb flies over to King and Queen Cyborg.
Patrio:
Looks like you've found your match!
Queen Cyborg:
We'll take it!
Matrio:
Great! Now, both of you place one of your hands on the orb.
Both King and Queen Cyborg place one of their hands on the orb, and the orb turns into a white light. Suddenly, it turns into a male cyborg. He is white, with orange hair. He looks up and sees King and Queen Cyborg smiling at him. They're so happy! They reach down, and help the male cyborg stand up. He so tall that he towers over his parents! While they're still holding him, the name "Technodroid" flashes in their minds.
Queen Cyborg:
Your name is Technodroid.
Technodroid:
...Yes.
King Cyborg:
We're your new parents, son. We'll do our best to take care of you.
Suddenly, orange electricity appears around the room and the building starts to shake! Cracks form on the roof of the room, and a fire breaks out! The two observers in the observatory start frantically pressing buttons in order to contain the situation, but nothing works. The woman in the observatory presses on the speaker.
Male Observer:
Nothing's working! We need to evacuate the building!
Female Observer:
Everybody! Get out of the Sphere Chamber and exit the building!
Matria:
King and Queen Cyborg, take Technodroid and get out of here! Patrio and I will try and handle the situation.
Queen Cyborg:
Yes, ma'am!
The three of them run out of the room, and the door closes behind them. Matria puts her hands on her head. Her second and third fingers are above her eyes, and her fourth and fifth fingers are below her eyes. Her eyes glow, and she starts catching the falling debris with her mind. Patrio extends his hands, and mud comes out of them. It hardens, and turns into the same material that the room is made out of. The room continues to fall apart though! The black spirit orb starts to flash repeatedly with a white light, and the cracks and fires in the room disappear in the aura of light. The building stops shaking. Matrio and Patrio are surprised, but alleviated.
Female Observer:
Great job, guys!
Matria:
Thanks, but we didn't do it alone.
Female Observer:
Huh? What do you mean?
Matrio:
It was the last orb.
1.3. Stareye is Born.
Matria and Patrio bend down and look at the black orb. It stops glowing.
Matria:
Thanks, little guy.
Patrio:
I wonder who will be this guy's parents?
Matria thinks to herself for a bit.
Matria:
I'll take him.
Patrio smiles at her, and then turns back to the orb.
Matria gently grabs the black sphere, and a bright light engulfs it. It turns into a male. He is black, with white hair. He sits on the floor, and looks up at Matria. She smiles at him. She extends her right hand out to him.
Matria:
Put your hand in mine so I can know your name.
The man looks at his right hand, and then touches Matria's hand. A name flashes before Matria's mind: "Stareye." Stareye sees the name "Matria." They let go of each others' hands.
Stareye:
Are you... Ma... Matria?
Matria:
That's me. I'm your mother now, Stareye.
The three cyborgs walk back into the room. Patrio, Matria, and Stareye, turn to look at them.
Patrio:
It's okay. Everything's fine. Also, Matria has a son of her own now.
Matria:
This is Stareye.
Technodroid walks up to Stareye. He towers over Stareye.
Queen Cyborg:
Stareye, this is Technodroid.
Stareye smiles at Technodroid and extends his hand out to him. Technodroid extends his hand out, and the two shake hands. Sparks shoot from Technodroid's hand and it shocks Stareye. Ice shoots from Stareye's hand, and it covers Technodroid's hand. The cold sending a shock through his body. The two of them let go of each others' hands and they step back from each other.
Patrio:
Wow! That was quite the handshake.
Stareye:
Sorry!
Technodroid looks at his hand. Sparks come out of his hand and melts the ice covering it. He makes a fist.
Technodroid:
...Don't worry about it.
Technodroid smiles.
Later on, King and Queen Cyborg give Stareye and Technodroid a device each.
Queen Cyborg:
These are your wrist computers. They are devices that can turn into any kind of machine that you need.
Stareye and Technodroid put their wrist computers on their wrists. A holographic screen pops up from them, showing them a menu. A voice appears out of each of their wrist computers.
Stareye wrist computer:
Wrist Comp.: *Male voice* Hello. What should I call you?
Stareye: Stareye.
Stareye wrist computer:
...Nice to meet you, Stareye. I am your wrist computer, or wrist comp. for short. I will be your new artificial intelligence companion.
Stareye smiles, and his eyes lighten up. Technodroid goes through the same thing on his wrist computer. He is intrigued by what he sees on the computer.
King Cyborg:
We created these a long time ago for Matria and Patrio, but they insisted that everybody should have them. They helped to build us a company on our planet to make them.
Patrio:
As a result, King and Queen Cyborg made not just wrist computers, but every technological device in the universe.
Technodroid hears what Patrio says, and wonders what the company looks like. Patrio looks through a window, and sees that its dark outside.
Patrio:
Alright everyone, it's nighttime. I think we've all had quite an adventure this afternoon, so lets get some sleep.
Patrio and Matria kiss each other.
Patrio:
Let me know if you need anything.
Matria:
I will. Goodnight!
Patrio:
Nighty-night!
Patrio, and the three cyborgs, leaves the building. Matria turns to Stareye.
Matria:
Alright, Star, let's go home.
Stareye:
This isn't your home?
Matria laughs.
Matria:
Oh no! If I lived here, I'll go stir-crazy…
Matria and Stareye walk out of the building. Stareye looks up, and gets a good look at the exterior of the building. A sign that says "Synervian Operations" is on the middle of the building. Matria presses a button on her wrist comp., and a screen pops up. She presses multiple times on the screen, and the wrist comp. transforms around her into a vehicle. Stareye is amazed at what just happened!
Matria:
Come on in.
Stareye gets into the vehicle. Matria presses on a button, and the vehicle begins to fly. Matria presses on a button, and a portal opens up. The two of them enter the portal and leave the planet. That planet called "Hive." The vehicle exits the portal, and arrives on a new planet called Planet Ice. They arrive at Matria’s house. The vehicle lands on the ground, and transforms back into Matria's wrist computer. Matria unlocks the door, and they enter the building. Stareye looks around. On the main floor is a living room on the left, a staircase to the top floor where the bedrooms are, and a dining room on the right. The two of them walk up the stairs.
Matria:
You can take the bedroom on the left. Mine is on the right.
Stareye:
Okay.
Stareye enters his room. He looks around, and then sits on the bed. He sees a window on the right wall, and walks up to it. He looks out and sees the stars in the night sky. A smile of wonder forms across his face. Matria smiles herself, and then enters her room.
1.4. Dangerous Intentions.
On another planet called Planet Cyborg, Technodroid and his parents arrive via a vehicle and a portal as well. The vehicle transforms back into King Cyborg's wrist comp..
Queen Cyborg:
Welcome to Planet Cyborg, Technodroid.
King Cyborg puts his hand on Technodroid's shoulder.
King Cyborg:
"Prince" Technodroid, now.
Technodroid looks around, seeing all of the robotic buildings, bridges, etc. around him. A devious smile forms on his face. The three of them walk up to a castle.
Queen Cyborg:
We live here, in Castle Cyborg.
Technodroid:
We’re not going to see the rest of the planet?
King Cyborg:
We’ll do that tomorrow when you take your flying lessons. So, it’s best to get some sleep for tomorrow.
Technodroid was hoping to see the company that his parents had, but he agrees to wait until tomorrow to see it. Inside the castle, Technodroid walks a flight of stairs and enters a room on the right. He looks out through a window that overlooks the buildings. Technodroid’s devious smile forms across his face again.
The next day on Planet Ice, Matria and Stareye are out in the front lawn. Stareye is in front of the entrance of the house, while Matria is in front of him.
Matria:
Today, I’m going to teach you how to fly.
Stareye:
Fly?
Matria:
It’s the best mode of transportation. Walking, and the vehicle, are other modes of travel, but flying is faster. It’ll come in handy if you’re ever in a hurry. Trust me, it helps. Now, repeat after me: Think about the sky as your destination.
Matria closes her eyes. She starts to float off of the ground. Stareye’s eyes widen.
Matria:
Soon your body will feel light, and you will begin to levitate. You could also look up at the sky. That always gives you a little boost.
Matria rises about 15 feet from the ground.
Matria:
Now it’s your turn. Give it a try.
Stareye closes his eyes like Matria did. However, his body doesn’t begin to levitate. He opens his eyes, and sees that he is still on the ground.
Stareye:
Nothing’s happening.
Matria:
Try it again. Remember to look up in the sky for help.
Stareye looks up at Matria. Then... He shoots up into the air! He flies past Matria, and starts flipping uncontrollably in the air.
Stareye:
Mom! I can’t stop!
Matria flies after him, and catches him in her arms. She carries him back down to the ground. Stareye leans against her as he gasps for air.
Stareye:
*Gasps*... Thanks.... *Gasps*...
Matria:
After you catch your breath, we’ll try again.
Stareye:
No! ...Um, I mean, I will try later. I think I’ll go lie down for a bit.
Matria relents, and smiles at him.
Matria:
Okay, kiddo. Go lie down.
Stareye walks defeatedly into the house.
Meanwhile on Planet Cyborg, Technodroid masters his flight and transformation training. The cyborg family are in a field.
King Cyborg:
Alright, son. Fly!
Technodroid leaps into the air, and flies around.
King Cyborg:
...And return!
Technodroid lands back onto the ground, in front of his parents.
Queen Cyborg:
Now transform!
Technodroid transforms into his animal form.
King Cyborg:
And... Return!
Technodroid transforms back into his human form. King and Queen Cyborg are amazed! They clap for him.
Queen Cyborg:
That was fantastic, son! You've progressed quickly.
Technodroid:
I guess I’m a quick learner. Although, it does help that I have two amazing parents to teach me.
Technodroid forms a fake smile.
Queen Cyborg:
Aw! Thanks, son.
She kisses Technodroid on the cheek.
King Cyborg:
I think that's enough for today. Your mom and I have to get ready for our rounds.
The three of them fly away.
Technodroid:
What did you mean by "rounds?"
King Cyborg:
Well, we're patrolling.
Technodroid:
For what?
Queen Cyborg:
...Things have been getting a little out of hand, as of late. Matria and Patrio told all the kingdoms to be on alert for trouble.
King Cyborg:
It's nothing too serious, but people have been using their powers to start trouble. We want to stop this as fast as possible.
King Cyborg looks down, and sees two cyborg men getting into a fight.
King Cyborg:
Down there.
He points towards them. Queen Cyborg looks down, and sees the commotion below. The three of them fly towards the commotion. They land a few meters from the two men.
Queen Cyborg:
Stay here, Tech. We'll handle this.
King and Queen Cyborg run towards the two men. Technodroid stays still and observes the situation. Suddenly, his body starts to emit an orange glow! He feels a surge of power go through him! King Cyborg grabs the man on the right, and Queen Cyborg grabs the man on the left.
King Cyborg:
What's going on here?
The man on the right points towards the man on the left.
Man on the Right:
He stole my wrist computer!
Man on the Left:
He's lying!
Queen Cyborg notices something in the hand of the man on the left.
Queen Cyborg:
Then what's in your hand?
Man on the Left:
...Um...
King Cyborg:
Answer the queen.
The man on the left extends his hand and opens it. A wrist computer is in it. Queen Cyborg takes it out of his hand, and gives it to the man on the right. Then, she turns back to the man on the left.
Queen Cyborg:
We'll give you a new wrist computer shortly. Don't steal again. Understood?
Man on the left hangs his head in embarrassment. He can barely look at the queen in the eyes.
Man on the Left:
...Yes, your highness.
From afar, Technodroid's body stops glowing and he returns back to normal. He ponders over what just happened. His parents walk back towards him.
Queen Cyborg:
Wait here. We'll be right back.
The man on the right leaves. King and Queen Cyborg walk back to their son. The cyborg family flies away.
King Cyborg:
Well son, it's time to show you our company.
The three of them land on a balcony near the roof of a large circular-shaped building. A door is in front of them. As they approach it, the door opens. They enter it, and see a giant factory. Technodroid's eyes light up.
King Cyborg:
This is Cyborg Industries. Every piece of technology is manufactured inside this very building.
The three of them walk down and head over towards a station. Wrist computers are being made. Queen Cyborg picks up a freshly made wrist computer.
Queen Cyborg:
We'll give this to our friend back in the field. After that, we'll drop you home, son.
Technodroid:
Okay.
The three of them begin to walk away. A devious idea forms inside Technodroid's head, and an evil grin forms on his face.
1.5. Trouble in Paradise.
Back in Synervia, Matria sits on a couch in the living room. A screen is coming out of her wrist comp., and Patrio is on the screen.
Patrio:
Hey, hun. How's it going?
Patrio is at the Synervian Protection Agency. He is sitting in his office.
Matria:
Well, I think I traumatized my son while teaching him how to fly this morning.
Stareye walks to the top of the stairs, and listens in on the conversation.
Patrio:
You're trying to kill your son already? You've only had him for about a day!
Matria:
Excuse me?
Patrio:
You heard me. I taught Embercore how to fly without any hassle.
Matria:
Yeah, and we had to clean up your house for two days in the aftermath.
Patrio:
That's a lie... It was three days.
Both of them laugh. Upstairs in his room, Stareye lies on his beed looking up at the ceiling.
Stareye (In his head):
Mom said to look up in the sky, and think of it as your destination. I did that, didn't I? ...Maybe, I should try to aim for a certain spot in the air. If I hit that spot, then I could stop myself faster and not crash!
Stareye gets off of his bed, and stands in the middle on his room. He continues to look up at the ceiling.
Stareye (In his head):
Maybe if I aim for the ceiling?
Stareye focuses intently on the ceiling. Soon, he begins to levitate. He looks down, and sees himself hovering off of the floor. Then he falls down on his belly.
Stareye (In his head):
Well, I did look at the floor...
Matria:
Stareye, are you okay up there?
Stareye:
I'm fine.
Stareye (In his head):
Now, focus on the sky, Star!
Stareye gets up from the floor, and looks back up at the ceiling. He glares at the ceiling, and he starts levitating again. He gets closer to the ceiling, and stops himself from moving by touching it with his hands. Stareye starts to laugh out of excitement for his achievement. He looks down at the floor, and he starts falling down! He puts his arms out in front of him, and he stops. He pushes himself backwards until he eventually lands on his feet. A large smile forms across his face.
Downstairs, Matria is still talking to Patrio.
Patrio:
Can she meet him?
Matria sighs.
Matria:
If she can behave herself.
Patrio:
She'll be on her best behavior, I promise.
Stareye:
Mom...
Matria turns around and sees Stareye near the staircase.
Stareye:
I want to try again.
Patrio:
Good! Try not to kill his this time, huney.
Matria:
Shut up. I’ll call you later.
Patrio:
Alright, alright. Take care.
The screen on her wrist comp. disappears.
Matria smiles.
Let’s go, kiddo.
The two of them go outside again, and are in the same positions as last time.
Matria:
Remember: Think about the sky as your destination. If need be, look up to the sky for help.
Matria rises to 15 feet in the air again. Stareye concentrates on her. He begins to float off of the ground, and flies up to her!
Stareye:
I did it!
Matria:
I knew you could! Now, let’s have some fun. Follow me.
She flies off towards the city nearby. Stareye follows suite. They fly above the buildings, looking down to see people, both in human and animal forms, going about their daily lives. They land on the roof of a tall building, and sit down on it. Stareye and Matria enjoy the view.
Back on Planet Cyborg, Technodroid is in his room sitting on his bed. He looks at his hand.
Technodroid (In his head): What happened back there? I gained power from the negativity between those two men. It seems that people are starting to resort to criminal activity in order to gain what they want, but Matria, Patrio, and my parents, are trying to stop it. Oh yeah... My "amazing parents..." Ugh! I can't believe that I said that...
Technodroid puts his hand on his eyes out of embarrassment.
Technodroid (In his head):
Did I also cause the room to collapse yesterday too? Stareye fixed it when he was still a sphere. When I shook his hand, our powers cancelled each other out…
An orange fire forms in his hand. Technodroid stares at it.
Technodroid (In his head):
…Can I destroy things, and feed off of hate? Is that my power? I wonder... I need to find a way to cause more carnage. Imagine how powerful I can be!? If I can gain complete control of my parent's company, then I can create technology that could help spread crime across my planet... no, the universe, and I'll be the most powerful being alive!
A horrible realization forms in his head.
Technodroid (In his head):
...If I can get rid of my parents, I'll become king of Planet Cyborg! Then, I can enact my plan...
Queen Cyborg calls out to Technodroid from downstairs.
Queen Cyborg:
Tech, breakfast is ready!
Technodroid heads downstairs.
Back on Planet Ice, Stareye turns to Matria. She stares at the sun looming over the land. She has a somewhat solemn face.
Stareye:
Something wrong?
Matria:
…I'm fine.
Stareye:
You don’t look fine.
Matria smiles.
Matria:
…There are two problems on my mind. First, I miss living with Patrio. The second problem is the reason why we don’t live together anymore. We have a whole universe to watch over. Patrio and his daughter, Embercore, live in the northern part of the universe. You and I live in the southern part. Our reach covers the entire universe, but we don’t get to live with each over anymore.
Stareye:
Why?
Matria:
When we were living together initially, everything was great. Then, as people became aware of their powers and what they could do with them, people started to compete with, and fight, each other. This spread out throughout the universe. In order to stop it, Patrio and I had to set up our own individual homes to counteract the growing behavior. Things have calmed down, but they haven’t completely stopped.
Technodroid's parents contacted Patrio and I twenty minutes ago, and told us that they had to stop a fight on their plane this morning.
Stareye:
You said you and Patrio were “mates.” What does that mean?
Matria:
That means we are a couple. Patrio is my spirit mate, and I am his soul mate. *Chuckles* Being in love is quite a journey, so don’t worry about that for now.
Matria rubs Stareye’s head. Stareye looks towards the run, pondering over everything Matria told him. Suddenly, Matria gets a call. It's from Patrio.
Matria:
Hey, babe.
Patria:
Honey, get down to Planet Cyborg! It's King and Queen Cyborg!
Matria and Stareye rush over to Planet Cyborg. The two of them enter the Cyborg Castle and meet Patrio waiting for them.
Matria:
Stareye, stay here.
Stareye waits near the entrance. Matria runs up to Patrio. She sees other Synervian Protection Agency workers, but not the royal cyborg family.
Matria:
Where are they?
Matria glances to the left. In the dining room, she sees the three members of the family lying on the ground. A couple of workers pick up Technodroid’s body, and his severed limbs, and place him in a mobile health chamber.
Patrio:
He’s still alive, but his parents are not. We don’t know what happened yet.
Matria is in shock.
Matria:
Where are their spheres?
Patrio:
I couldn’t sense them when we came over. They’re missing.
Matria:
What!? If we can’t find them, then we can’t bring them back to life!
Patrio:
We’re going to keep looking. But first, we have to get Technodroid to the Synervian Protection Agency.
The workers take Technodroid to the front door. Stareye sees them coming, and sees the state of Technodroid’s body. He’s shocked!
Stareye:
Technodroid?
Matria:
Star, don’t look at him!
Stareye turns away, but he quickly turns his head back. One of the workers presses on his wrist computer, and a vehicle forms around him. The second worker loads the health chamber into the vehicle. Stareye begins to glow with a black fire around him. Everyone notices, and are surprised.
Stareye:
I want to go with them.
Matria: Star-
Stareye:
I want to help him!
Patrio:
I can handle things from here, honey.
Matria:
…Fine, but I’m going with you.
Matrio walks up to Stareye, and the two of them enter the vehicle. A portal opens up, and the vehicle enters it. Once they exit the portal, the arrive on Planet Hive. The vehicle arrives at the Synervian Operations building. Technodroid is taken inside, and is placed inside a vacant room.
Matria:
That chamber is keeping him alive for now. Typically, Patrio and I will have to have to examine his body together to see how bad the damage is. However, I think your powers are activating. I think you can heal
him. When I open the chamber, place your hands on him and your powers should activate to heal him.
Stareye:
Gotcha.
Matria touches a large white button on the top of the chamber, and the chamber opens up. Stareye places his hand on Technodroid’s chest, and he can see the inner workings of Technodroid’s body.
Stareye:
I can see his bones, wires… Everything.
A black fire forms wround Technodroid's body. Wires appear out of Technodroid’s severed limbs, and they reconnect to each other. Eventually, Technodroid's body heals up. Technodroid’s eyes light up by glowing orange, and his pupils reappear. He turns his head to a happy Stareye and Matria.
Technodroid:
...W-What happened?
Stareye:
I… I think I saved you.
Matria:
You were attacked, son… You, and your parents.
Technodroid:
…W-Where are my parents?
Matrio:
…I’m sorry, but… They’re deceased.
Technodroid:
…No…. NO! Who did this!?
Matria:
We don’t know, honey, but Patrio and I are going to find out as soon as possible.
Technodroid begins to cry. Stareye grabs his hand.
Stareye:
Technodroid, I will help to find whoever did this. I promise you.
Matria looks concerned. Technodroid soon falls asleep. Matria and Stareye leave the room, and a couple of workers enter the room to keep an eye on Technodroid.
Matria:
I know that you want to help, Star, but this is too dangerous for you.
Stareye:
But-
Matria:
There’s a killer roaming around Planet Cyborg, and Patrio and I will find them. There’s no way that I’m letting you get caught up in this.
She places her hand on Stareye’s shoulder.
Matria:
You helped to put Technodroid back together, and I thank you for that. Now, you have to leave the rest up to us. Okay?
Stareye:
…Okay.
Matria:
Good. Now, let’s get you home.
The two of them leave the building, and head back to Planet Ice. In his room, Stareye thinks to himself while sitting on his bed.
Stareye (In his head):
Whoever did this to Technodroid and his family are not going to get away!
Stareye remembers what Matria told him as well, and takes a heavy sigh.
Stareye (In his head):
Matria and Patrio are so busy that they can't live together, people across the universe are starting to use their powers against each other, and now Technodroid lost his parents. Can I do something to help them?
Stareye ponders for a minute. Then and idea pops into his head!
Stareye (In his head):
I can help them, but I have to do so anonymously.
He extends his arm out, and his wrist comp. projects a holographic screen.
Stareye:
Hey wrist comp., I have an idea. I need to design a suit.
The wrist comp. projects a pencil out of it. Stareye takes it and begins to draw on the screen.
Wrist Comp.:
What kind of suit, Stareye?
Stareye:
Something that can protect my identity as I search for information... I'll need a mask! Oh, and a hat to hide my ears!
Stareye draws various disguises until he eventually settles on one suit.
Stareye: Hey...
This looks pretty cool.
Wrist Comp.:
If you want to see how the suit looks on you Stareye-
Stareye:
Call me Star.
Wrist Comp.:
...Well, if you want to try the suit on Star, just tap on the drawing.
Stareye touches the screen, and his clothes transform into the suit that he drew. The screen turns into a mirror. Stareye gets a good look at his outfit. He has a hat covering his ears,which looks like a cowboy hat. The outfit is mainly black, but the upper arms, ribs, and thighs, are colored white.
Stareye (In his head):
I can go around incognito and look for clues now. However, I still have to learn how to transform and teleport. I can ask mom to teach me that tomorrow. Doing that will help me to get home before mom found out. I hate to do this, but I want to help her, Patrio, and Technodroid.
Matria (In Stareye's head):
No, you won't.
Stareye jumps and turns to the entrance to his room. He sees Matria standing with her hands on her hips.
Stareye:
Mom! How are you in my head?
Matria:
I'm a telepath. I can read people's minds. Also, other parents can read their children's minds and soul spirits and mates can read each other's minds as well.
Stareye:
...I'm sorry, but I want to help-
Matria makes a sigh.
Matria:
I know. I heard everything in your head.
She smiles at him.
Matria:
If you want to help that badly, then I won't stop you.
Stareye smiles.
Matria:
However, you'll need to be trained how to defend yourself. We'll start that tomorrow, along with your other training lessons.
1.6. Stareye’s Dream:
The next night on Planet Cyborg, Stareye, Matria, and Patrio, help Technodroid to return to his home. They enter through the front doors of Cyborg castle. The building feels empty and cold.
Stareye:
I think you should stay with Matria and I. You don’t know if your attacker could come back.
Technodroid smiles.
Technodroid:
Thanks Stareye, but this is my home. No one is going to scare me away from my home. Besides, I’m king now. I have to be a leader now for my people.
Patrio:
I admire your bravery, son. However, I’ll have your guards patrol the castle at all times in different shifts. If anything else happens, they’ll notify us immediately.
Technodroid:
Thank you.
Stareye smiles at Technodroid.
Stareye:
Any time.
Stareye extends his fist out to Technodroid, and the two of them fist bump each other. Matria, Patrio, and then Stareye, begin to walk away.
Stareye:
Goodnight, Tech.
Stareye waves as he exits through the front door. Technodroid waves back. The front doors to the castle close in front of him. Outside the gates, Matria taps on Patrio’s shoulder. He leans over to his right side, and she whispers something in his ear:
Matria:
I have something to talk to you about. Call me when you get home.
Patrio:
Alright. Take care.
The two of them kiss each other, and they depart. Stareye follows Matria.
Matria:
As soon as we get home, Star, go to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow.
Stareye:
Yes ma’am.
Stareye and Matria head home. Stareye lies asleep in his bed. He is dreaming. In his dream, He is on a bridge. He looks into the water below. The silhouette of a figure appears in the water. It looks like a woman. The two of them stare at each other. The woman starts to reach the surface, and then…
Stareye wakes up! He sits up in his bed, trying to understand his dream.
Stareye:
…What’s was that?
Stareye sighs and puts his hand on his forehead. He lies back down on his bed, hoping to go back to sleep. Then, an alarm goes off. It’s on his wrist comp. A screen is projecting from it, showing a timer. He taps on the screen, hitting the “stop” button.
Stareye:
This is going to be a looong day…
1.7. Embercore:
The next day on Planet Cyborg, Technodroid announced to the entire planet what had happened to King and Queen Cyborg.
Technodroid:
Good morning. I have to announce some terrible news: My parents, King and Queen Cyborg, have died… Currently, Matria, Patrio, and Stareye, are working hard to find out what happened to them. If it wasn’t for them, especially Stareye, I wouldn’t be here right now in front of all of you. I will use this new lease on life to serve all of you as best as I can, just like my parents did…
Technodroid pauses, and takes a deep breath.
Technodroid:
Thank you.
After the broadcast goes off, we head to a woman sitting on a plane. Her name is Embercore. She’s yellow, with red and black hair. She watched Technodroid’s message on her wrist comp.. She turns her screen off.
Embercore:
Dad was right. People are being killed now…
Another woman sitting next to her was watching Technodroid’s speech too on her own wrist comp. Her name is Wrathenus, Embercore’s best friend. She’s purple, with green hair.
Wrathenus:
And I thought that the romance problem on Planet Fire was the worst thing to happen so far.
Embercore:
I hope daddy’s and Matria’s plan works.
Embercore rubs her forehead. Wrathenus notices.
Wrathenus:
Are you alright?
Embercore:
…I had a weird dream last night, and I didn’t get much sleep. I think… Never mind.
Wrathenus:
You think it’s a sign of-
Embercore:
Maybe…
The plane lands on Planet Hive. Patrio, and another man named Slickshot, are waiting for Embercore and Wrathenus to arrive. Slickshot is green, with red hair. He is eager to see Embercore again. As soon as she sees him, Embercore runs up to Patrio and hugs him. They get into Patrio’s car, and they head to the Synervian Protection Agency.
Patrio:
I’m so glad you you and Wrathenus can join us. We need all the help that we can to get to start our plan. Matria and Stareye are waiting us at the Protection Agency.
Embercore:
Oh yeah! I finally get to meet Matria’s son. I wonder what he’s like.
Patrio smiles.
Patrio:
I think you’ll like him! Let’s get going.
They arrive at the Agency. Inside the Combat Room, formerly the Sphere Chamber room, Stareye and Matria are waiting inside. Matria sees Stareye looking a bit tired.
Matria:
Didn’t get enough sleep?
Stareye:
…I had a weird dream last night…
Matria:
Oh?
Patria, Embercore, Slickshot, and Wrathenus, enter the room.
Patrio:
Morning, you two!
Matria and Stareye turn to see the group. Immediately, Stareye and Embercore lock eyes with each other. Embercore stands above Stareye. Stareye’s eyes pop out of his head.
Stareye (In his head):
Woah! She’s tall!
Embercore (In her head):
Hey, he’s a cutie.
Embercore smiles. Wrathenus locks eyes onto Stareye too. She is also a little taller than Stareye, but not as much as Embercore.
Wrathenus (In her head):
*In a sultry voice* Hellooo theeere…
A devious smile forms on her face.
Patrio:
Stareye, meet Embercore. My daughter.
Stareye extends his hand out to Embercore.
Stareye:
…Nice to meet you.
Embercore smiles.
Embercore:
Likewise.
They shake hands. Suddenly, a feeling of intensity fills their bodies. Their bodies jolt back, and they release their handshake. Both of them are stunned.
Stareye (In his head):
What the…? I feel like…
Embercore (In her head):
…No… way… It happened! It finally happened!
Matria turns to Patrio. Patrio has a look of satisfaction on his face. Interestingly, Slickshot and Wrathenus have looks of disappointment on their faces.
Patrio:
The other lady is Wrathenus, and my man right here is Slickshot.
Stareye regains his composure, and waves at the two of them.
Stareye:
Hello!
Wrathenus and Slickshot wave back at him, forcing a smile upon their faces.
1.8. The Synervian Seven:
Matria and Patrio walk up to the front of the group to face them.
Matria:
Now that we’ve all become acquainted, let’s talk about why you’re here. First off, I need to thank all of you for coming today. As you all know, Technodroid’s parent’s were murdered two days ago. The problems in this universe have reached a new level that Patrio and I didn’t think was possible. We’ve decided that we need a special team designed to tackle these extreme problems. We are calling this Operation Synervian Six. We will use all of your talents to help make Synervia safe.
Technodroid:
I want to help too!
Everyone turns to the entrance of the room. Technodroid has arrived, with two cyborg guards alongside him.
Patrio:
Technodroid? Aren’t you suppose to be home right now?
Technodroid:
I want to help protect Synervia, and maybe I can find the one responsible for killing my parents. Also, I think that your and Matria’s teachings can help me to become a better king for my people.
Stareye smiles.
Stareye:
I think he should join us.
Patria and Matria look at each other, and they smile.
Patrio:
Alright son, welcome to the group.
Technodroid smiles, and runs up to join Stareye the others. Technodroid leans down to Stareye to whisper to him.
Technodroid:
Thanks!
Stareye:
No problem!
Matria:
Now, we are the Synervian Seven. Your training begins now.
Embercore (In Stareye’s head):
Let’s do our best, partner.
Stareye looks to his right and sees Embercore looking at him. She winks at him. Stareye’s face turns red, and he looks away. Embercore smiles.
Embercore (In her head):
He heard me telepathically. He’s definitely the one!
1.9. Stareye and Embercore Spar.
Matria:
We’re going to train you for physical, and super powered, combat. I’ll handle the super power combat, while Patrio will handle the physical training.
Patrio straightens up, claps his hands, and walks up to Matria.
Patria:
Along with protecting the general public, you will learn how to protect yourself. Star, Ember, will you step forward please?
Stareye and Embercore walk up to the front of the group.
Patrio:
I’m going to use you two as a demonstration. But first, you’ll need your combat suits. I’ll let Star explain them to you.
Stareye taps on his wrist comp., and a projection of his suit pops up.
Stareye:
Two days ago, I created a suit that would help protect us in combat. You can modify it to meet your needs, such as size adjustments, armor, whatever you want.
The holographic suit materializes into seven suits. They’re all black. Everyone grabs one, and puts them on.
Patrio:
Now Star and Ember, during the demonstration, I’m going to tell each of you want to do in a situation. Alright?
Stareye and Embercore:
Yes sir.
Stareye and Embercore raise their fists, and get into a defensive stance.
Stareye:
Don’t hurt me, alright?
Embercore:
I wouldn’t dream of such a thing.
Patrio:
Ember, swing your fist at Star.
Embercore swings her fist at Stareye.
Patrio:
Star, catch Ember’s-
Embercore’s fist hits Stareye in the face! Embercore covers her mouth out of shock. Everyone gasps.
Embercore:
I’m so sorry!
Stareye rubs his head.
Stareye:
You lied.
Embercore:
Are you okay?
Stareye:
I’m fine. My brains are a bit scrambled, but I’m alright.
Stareye laughs a bit. Embercore is relieved.
Patrio:
Let’s try that again. Ember, swing your fist at Star. Star, catch Ember’s fist.
Embercore throws another fist at Stareye, but Stareye catches it.
Patrio:
Good! Now Star, try to kick Ember in her stomach. Ember, try to block Star’s kick with your arms.
Stareye kicks Embercore in her stomach. Embercore blocks Stareye’s kick with her arms, but the force of Stareye’s kick sends her to the opposite side of the room! She hits the wall. Stareye’s eyes bulges out of his skull. Everyone else is just as shocked. Embercore detaches herself from the wall, and walks up to Stareye.
Embercore:
Was that-
Embercore stumbles a bit, but regains her posture.
Embercore:
…Payback for punching you?
Stareye:
I’m sorry! I didn’t think I kicked you that hard!
Patrio rubs his forehead.
Patrio:
This is going well… Okay… Try that again, but with less force.
Embercore throws a fist at Stareye. Stareye catches it, and tries to kick Embercore. Embercore blocks the kick with her arms.
Patrio:
Ember, grab Stareye’s foot and swing him into the ground.
Embercore grabs Stareye’s foot, and throws him onto the ground. Stareye gets up.
Patrio:
Nice! The goal is to block the attack of your opponent, leaving them open to your attack. Now Star, throw a fist at Ember. Ember, catch Star’s fist and then grab a hold of his arm.
Stareye swings a fist at Embercore. Embercore catches his fist, and wraps her arm over his.
Patrio:
Ember, swing your second fist at Star. Star, catch her fist and secure her arm like she did to yours.
Ember swings her fist at Star. Star catches it, and locks her arm under his. Embercore looks into Stareye’s eyes, and his pupils become slender.
Embercore (Telepathically):
You didn’t imprint yet?
Stareye (Telepathically):
Imprint?
Embercore (Telepathically):
Synervians who don’t imprint on their parents yet are prone to being more violent than normal.
Stareye (Telepathically):
I’m not acting violent.
Embercore (Telepathically):
I think you’re enjoying this…
Stareye notices that Embercore has a devious smile on her face.
Stareye (Telepathically):
And yet, you’re the one that’s smiling.
Embercore (Telepathically):
Just between you and me, handsome, tell me: Are you enjoying this?
Stareye forms a devious grin on his face, and leans forward to stare at Embercore in the eyes.
Stareye (Telepathically):
...Yes.
Embercore (Telepathically):
Then don’t hold back.
The two of them smile at each other. Then, they start throwing fists at each other! Everyone stares in amazement.
Patrio:
Star? Ember? Hello?
Matria reads Stareye’s and Embercore’s minds. She sees what Embercore is trying to do.
Matria (Telepathically):
Stop!
Stareye and Embercore snap out of their match. They look at the group in bewilderment, as if they forgot everybody else existed. Matria turns to Patrio.
Matria:
Maybe, we should have two new volunteers.
Patrio nods his head.
Patrio:
Slickshot and Wrathenus, you two are up.
Slickshot and Wrathenus walk up to the front of the room. Stareye and Embercore walk back to the group.
Stareye:
Sorry about that.
Embercore:
Don’t be. I had fun.
Embercore smiles at Stareye. Stareye’s face turns red, but he smiles knowing that Embercore was happy. Technodroid watches, and smiles. An hour later, the session ends.
Patrio:
Alright guys. That’s enough for today. Tomorrow, we’ll start with the super power lesson.
Everyone starts to leave the room.
Matria:
Hey Stareye, can you wait for me outside the room for a second. I want to talk to Embercore for a second.
Stareye:
Alright.
Stareye walks out of the room. Embercore walks up to Matria and Patrio.
Matria:
I know what you were trying to do.
Embercore:
...Dad told me that Stareye was having some trouble getting use to flying, so when I saw that he didn't imprint yet I thought I could help.
Matria:
I know... By the way, you and Star acted as if you two had...
Embercore blushes, and grabs her arm.
Embercore:
…I think Stareye and I had the Spirit-Soul Connection.
Matria closes her eyes, and sighs.
Matria:
I thought so.
Patrio smiles.
Patrio:
That’s great, honey!
Matria:
I think I need to imprint on Stareye first before you two get carried away.
Embercore:
Yeah…
Embercore puts her arm over her head, and forms a hesitant smile.
Outside the Combat Room, Slickshot and Wrathenus approach Stareye. Slickshot puts on a smile.
Slickshot:
You and Ember put on quite the show today.
Stareye’s face turns red.
Stareye:
I-I don’t know what happened. I’ve never acted like that before…
Wrathenus:
It’s the Spirit-Soul Connection. It means that you two are destined to be together as a couple.
Stareye:
“Couple?”
Technodroid listens to the conversation from afar. His two guards are with him as well. He senses that Slickshot and Wrathenus are not happy.
Matria, Patrio, and Embercore, exit the Combat Room.
Patrio:
Thank you all for coming out today. We’ll resume training tomorrow.
Embercore walks up to Stareye with a smile on her face.
Embercore:
It was a pleasure to meet you, Star!
Stareye:
You too.
Embercore forms a sultry smile on her face.
Embercore:
I hope to spar with you again soon.
Stareye freezes.
Stareye:
Yeah… Same.
Embercore smiles at Stareye, and then she and Wrathenus walk away. Matria turns to Patrio. She notices that Patrio has something on his mind. She leans on him.
Matria:
Are you alright?
Patrio hugs her.
Patrio:
I’m just… thinking about King and Queen Cyborg.
Matria:
We’ll find their orbs, and bring them back. We just have to keep looking. If you need to talk, just call me.
Patrio smiles, and then kisses Matria. Stareye heard their conversation. Patrio walks up to Stareye.
Patrio:
I think you and Ember will get along just fine, Star.
Patrio pats Stareye on the back. Slickshot tries to maintain his smile, but inside he’s not happy.
Patrio:
See you two tomorrow.
Patrio and Slickshot walk away. Technodroid walks up to Stareye.
Technodroid:
Look at you, flirting with Patrio’s daughter.
Stareye:
I-I’m not-
Technodroid laughs.
Technodroid:
I’m just messing with you, Star. However, I don’t know if Slickshot and Wrathenus liked that too much.
Stareye:
You think so?
Technodroid:
Call it a hunch. Aside from that, the suit you created was a nice idea. See you tomorrow, Star!
Stareye:
Thanks!
Technodroid and his guards leave. Matria walks up to Stareye.
Matria:
Alright. As soon as we get home, we need to work on your imprinting.
Stareye:
What is that?
Matria:
Imprinting is when a new Synervian learns to transform into their animal form. Without imprinting, the animal form can overtake you mentally and it’s very hard to suppress it. Patrio and I had a very hard time trying to work that out back in the day. I think it’s part of the reason why you and Ember had such an intense interaction today.
Stareye:
Is that why Embercore acted the way she did too?
Matria laughs out loud a bit.
Matria:
No. Ember has always had a bright personality. However, she was more intense today because she had a Spirit-Soul Connection with you.
Stareye:
Wrathenus said that it meant that Ember and I are suppose to be a “couple.”
Matria:
Yes. *Sighs* She's been waiting to find her Spirit match for a while now. Just... be aware of Ember’s enthusiasm. That’s all I’m saying.
Stareye:
Okay... How’s Patrio doing?
Matria:
He… has a lot on his mind. King Cyborg and Patrio were close friends. I was close with Queen Cyborg. I just wish I knew where their orbs were. We’ll talk more when he get home.
Back on Planet Cyborg, Technodroid is in his room pondering to himself.
Technodroid (In his head):
This could hamper my plan. Matria’s and Patrio’s group could expose what I’ve done. However, there might be a solution. Slickshot wants Embercore, but Ember wants Stareye. Wrathenus also wants Star. Maybe I can use this love triangle to my advantage, and dismantle the Synervian Seven.
Technodroid remembers the suit that Stareye made.
Technodroid (In his head):
I should also do this under a disguise.
He taps on his wrist comp., and begins to design a suit.
End of episode 1.
