The moon hovered over the luminous city of Los Serafin on a windy day, with several sky scrapers distant in the cloudy sky. Looking down it looked like a stream of glowing wires streaming through a series of very intricate components... "What a shame", thought the voice as it flew through the darkness of the moonlit sky. "After everything I did, I still have to explain this to my wife" as the voice approached a single school, but instead of a loud smack of something heavy, there was just the soft thump of shuffling grass. "If I even get to do that", as a small round metal ball began to slowly split grass around it.
"Well, it's no matter, I'm sure it won't be long until somebody finds me, I can tell them the news and we can start preparing immediately!", said the small round ball humbly and snugly embraced by tall grass.
"Did somebody say something?", a figure called out across the verdant grass.
"Yes, I need some help! See I have a very important message and I'm unable to move at the moment! Can you help me?"
"Where are you? I can't see you." The figure said questioningly.
"Just follow my voice"
"Oh... Okay" A few footsteps followed, getting closer and closer.
"Okay stop there, do you see me?"
"No, I don't"
"Well try looking down"
Just then above the tall green grass, a giant of a man stood with smooth light skin, dark hair and dark eyes, though his figure didn't match that of a giant, his arms and legs were nimble and his body was slim.
"I still don't see you"
"That's because you're not looking hard enough"
"No, I still don't see you" said the young man looking directly at the metal ball
"Okay, tell me exactly what you see then"
"I see a pile of leaves, some grass and some kids Satchmon toy or something, is this a prank? Where are you?" Said the young man in a more impatient tone.
"A toy, are you sure I'm a toy?"
"Yes, I can hear the sound coming out of your speaker, so can I go now? I have things to do" Said the young man now with a stern scowl on his face"
"Wait, you're sure I'm some kids toy? Maybe I look like something else?" Said the voice from the small orb now sounding concerned.
"If I act surprised will you let me go? You can always cut that out of the video", said the voice now letting out a sigh.
"No really, I have an important message to give and if you don't help me it could affect you as well" Said the voice now urgently.
The young man twitched one of his eyes as he heard the words coming from the benign looking orb before he reached towards it with his massive hand.
"Woah, woah, what are you doing?" said the voice frantically.
"I'm going to pick your device up and throw it towards the grass over there so you don't keep bothering people like me" as the figure continued to bend to pick up the orb.
"Uh, no I wouldn't do that if I were-", at that moment the young man's hand touched the metallic orb. In that moment there was a sudden spark of light that came in contact between the young mans finger and the small metal orb. Suddenly there was a change in the air, like static replacing all flow of oxygen in a single instant, then the orb began to melt, but it wasn't hot to the touch and neither was it liquifying towards the ground but towards the young man's index finger that first came in contact with it.
"Aaugh!" the young man, pulled his hand back as fast as he could but all he managed to do was flick the orb backwards still attached to his finger and slamming against his face. The same spark touched his cheek then the same streak of metallic looking ooze fell towards his face.
"What are you doing? I told you I didn't want any part of this!", the young man cried in anguish as a metallic looking fluid began to surround his face.
"Well why did you have to grab me all of a sudden? Who touches random things on the floor? I was trying to warn you, you know?" the voice said nonchalantly
"F-F-F-Fu" the young man cried in his sudden torment for a moment before becoming completely still, then suddenly falling flat face on the floor, the eerie liquid still slithering across his entire body.
***Beep***
"Integration complete" sounded a high pitched disembodied voice inside of his mind
***Beep***
Bright lights flashed through the skin of his eyelids, making it impossible to ignore the world around him
***Beep***
He tried to move but there was something tugging at his wrists, the pillow and the mattress too stiff
***Beep***
"He's awake" echoed a voice the pierced his ear as well as the entirety of his right temple.
"Lyson!! Baby!! You're awake!!" Cried even a louder voice from his left, further assaulting any harmonic balance on his left temple.
***Beep***
He felt an intense embrace suddenly overwhelm both of his shoulders and then he felt suffocated as he felt something wet on the right side of his face. Then he did what he regretted most at that moment; opening his eyes. A sudden flash burst through his eyelids, then a dark red hue was sitting atop another peachy pink hue, underneath a blue hue and all around it a lot of bright light with some distant figures around.
***Beep***
"Mom? What's going on? What happened? Why am I here?" The young man said intuitively
He felt the familiar pressure of a soft palm against his cheek, "that's what we're trying to figure out dear, who would do this to you?"
Lyson thought on this for a millisecond, the last thing he remembered was a random metal orb on the ground which he presumed was a prankster playing some kind of joke on him before he felt the sound of a voice echoing across his already screeching head.
"In my defense, I did try to tell you not to touch me"
