Chapter 5

Location change, to the other side of the galaxy

In a far location in space on another planet

A caravan of 30 people was walking down the ramp of a spaceship.

In the middle two people were carrying a locked chest.

This group was approaching what looked to be fortified temple.

Just as the group was less than a dozen feet from the entrance, two space ships came zooming down.

One went to land while the other started firing lasers at the group.

When the spaceship fired the original group of men scattered but unfortunately the men carrying the box were caught by some shrapnel. This attack gave the other spaceship enough time to release a group of soldiers who started firing at the original group.

The defending group was split, 4 were able to make it to the temple entrance while the others had to dive towards their ship.

The 4 defenders at the temple entrance started firing bursts of lasers at the attackers.

The attackers had started to fire back rushing for the box.

As two of the attackers picked up the box, the defenders from behind the spaceship chucked some grenades.

1 grenade ended up blowing the box up. Both breaking the box and killing the men carrying it.

The box fell down to the ground and in the midst of men screaming in pain an egg sized purple stone fell out of the box to the ground.

Seeing this stone the Defenders became more aggressive.

One attacker decided to reach down to grab the stone.

Immediately a pulse of energy burst from the stone, the energy strain made the man start to gasp in pain.

The man then turned around and started to run with the stone. After a dozen paces the Stone pulsed again.

A stray laser hit him, sending him hurtling to the side and the stone flying away towards the defender's ship.

One stupid defender decided to also grab the stone, but a pulse of energy happened again before the man was shot again

Seeing the many energy pulses the defenders and attackers do not touch the stone again, but start focusing on killing each other.

One attacker got shot in the eye before he stumbled into his allies bring them to the ground allowing the defenders to shoot them.

The back and forth continued for ten minutes before the only survivors were 3 of the fenders.

But unbeknownst to the survivors the purple stone that they were protecting was lying beneath a pile of bleeding corpses.

Unseen by everyone the stone was absorbing what was once many men's life force.

Once the corpses were dry of blood the Stone let out one huge burst of power.

Feeling that power the survivors got to action

They grabbed a pole with a claw to pickup the stone.

Carrying it into the temple they placed it into a metallic orb which they then sealed inside a vault.

Arming the security system the surviving defenders leave the planet, hoping that this powerful artifact stays locked away from those who hunger for its power.

All over the universe changes began to happen

In many different locations other stones began to react to the Burst of power they received

On Earth A blue cube reacted in sink with a Greenstone in an amulet.

On 2 unknown planets an orange stone pulsed causing a red-skulled man to jerk up in wonder. While a liquid red stone began to vibrate in excitement in a space in between worlds.

And finally, a yellow stone encased in a spear let off a burst of energy

Unknown to most regular beings the released energies started to Alter the current universe.

3 of the entities who noticed the occurrence was a purple giant, a one eyed old man and a Bald women.

--

Due to the effects of the yellow stone the changes occurring became unnoticeable.

many galaxies and solar systems were added

species both peaceful and warful came into being.

On earth the size of the planet tripled

Cities were added, along with creatures underwater.

A city encompassed in darkness

A family of farmers raising an alien.

Only a handful noticed the changes, but had no power to stop or effect these changes.

On earth with Charles

Getting home a blue screen started to flash in front of his eyes

WARNING, WARNING

you madman

Award: Halo universe, UNSC Frigate

--

For spending over 50 million

Award: transformer universe, GrandMaster grade shifting tech

--

Congratulations Host on its success please enjoy your awards.

--

 First seeing the awards was mind boggling.

The Frigate alone was worth 32 trillion dollars, while the Grandmaster shifting tech was well over 10 times that. Yes, the system is generally cheap, but if it was good the price was a mirror on to how good in comparison to other universes.

With the quality of these rewards and the notification of someone affecting both reality and minds, Charles started to cry in despair.

--

--

After pulling himself together, he went to check the news before going to bed.

Scrolling through his phone he started to choke on his tongue before falling to the ground in anguish.

The phone read

Statistics say Gothams crime has risen 45% since last year.

Masked Vigilante is spotted roaming the streets

Lex Luthor will be hosting Christmas Ball for many elite, only the wealthiest will attend.

--

Seeing this new information, Charles could not help but be despondent.

Somehow, someone has altered the universe so that beings from DC are now here, lets hope that there are no other Suprises. Because dealing with Batman and Nick Fury along with all those other superpowered beings is more than enough.

Moping on his bed he soon froze.

In his mind the message from the system kept showing up in his memory.

The system, is my friend. It wants me to live to be strong. So I shall be so.

With my Electric Heart and my tech system I shall bring even gods down at my feet.

Waking up the next day Charles began on three projects

Scout robot, Chappie Scout, and a Transforming vehicle

First was the Chappie body.

Currently the best source of power was the BP Arc reactor.

I fitted 4 onto the frame

1 on the front, 1 on the back and 1 on each shoulder.

The reason was Weapons! With the Transformer shifting I could now put a gatling gun in one arm and a cannon in the same arm while the other arm could have an energy sword and a shield.

Along with those weapons I included bits of liquid T-1000 metal in the hands and feet so that Claws could be formed for both gripping while climbing and attacks.

Secondly, I started the Scout

For these I used 2 BP Arc reactors. On front and back.

These were meant to be cheaper than the Chappie Scout. They would be installed with the Energy shield and sword on different arms. They would have the T1000 metal in the hands and feet.

But they would not have the gun shifting arms. Instead they would use Rifles powered by arc reactors.

Now for the last project

The transforming vehicle

I decide to design it after the 1972 Ford Gran Torino

It would have the same kind of AI as Chappie.

Using knowledge of transformers and Starwars, I was able to develop some pretty sturdy Alloys that could be mixed with the T-1000 liquid metal, allowing for better transformations this was a mixture of Phrik, Vibranium, Beskar and an unknown metal that could have been found on Cybertron.

The Vibranium he got from a man called Klaus and the Phrik, Beskar and unknown metal were made from alloying Vibranium with dozens of other earth-based minerals/metals

In the front hood I installed 15 BP Reactors and a Energon converter.

During rest the car will stockpile Energon, and only use it for combat. This was due to the pure concentrated energy which gave boosts of stronger fighting power.

But even without the energon there would be 5 reactors that would shift to both arms for weapons.

This vehicle would be armed only with a Mini Canon Gatling gun along with a large Tower Energy shield.

This was not meant to fight on the front lines but to be a first responder with me and to buy time for backup if needed along with a fancy get away.

Now this car I will name Clint in favour of one of the best actors in my old life.

Clint the Gran Torino

After waiting for 3 hours the first 5 out of 25 CHAPPIES were built

Taking them to the new training room I install their AI chips. To make life easier, in the AI program I installed the Basics of English, Japanese, Deutsch and russian

Once all 5 were turned on I allowed them some time to gain their bearings.

Seeing them all look at me I start

"Hello, young ones I am Charles your Father." He started

The Chappies seemed to chitter in anxiety before one answered

"Hello, what is a Father? And what am I?" it asked

"A father is a creator of life. Since I created you and your siblings, I am your Father. I look after you, teach you and take care of your needs. Now to answer your question of what you are."

"You are a Droid, but a special one so that you can learn like me. You are created from metal, so that you are stronger than those made from flesh. I have made you to protect my planet and to protect me. But in turn I will protect you." after saying his bit, Charles gave the Chappies time to process this information.

The same droid stepped forward " Father, do I have a name? or my other siblings?"

Charles smiled " your name will be Angus, and your other siblings will be Rowan, Oak, Willow and Will."

"now we will begin your training, please observe and repeat after me."

Starting off Charles started running around an obstacle course that he prepared earlier.

To be quite honest he was slower than the robots, but he handled tight turns and obstacles better. They seemed to halt and observe each obstacle before acting which hopefully would leave with training.

The rest of that Sunday was spent seeing the current limits and then showing them some martial arts along with teaching protocol when interacting with Humans both good and bad.

The next day

Today was school

But even better than that my first date with Gwen

So, in preparation for that I drove my new Gran Torino.

"Father? What will I do when you are in class today?" asked Clint

"Well buddy, I have installed a module on stunt driving. I would like you to run through simulations after learning that, after that you can browse the internet. Have fun"

After saying his goodbye, he walked into school with many people pointing and staring at his new car

Getting to the entrance of the school I see Flash picking on Peter Parker. Deciding to do something nice today, I walk in a way so that Flash bumps into me.

"Hey! Watch where your going numbskull!" I shout at him.

"Just because you have a new car does not mean you are better than me." Snaps Flash.

"Scram, you puffed up prick, leave the sidewalks for civilized people." I then wait till his group walk off before I nod at Peter then I too head off to find Gwen.

Wandering the halls I do not see her, until someone tapped my back, scaring the shit out of me.

Turning around I see Gwen, but she seems different…. A bruise. She seems to have a bruise cheek.

"Gwen its so good to see you, but what happened to your cheek?!"

"Don't worry I was not paying attention and walked into a pole." Gwen said nervously.

"You are not lying to me, are you? if you need help, I am more than willing to give it. But on another topic are you ready for dinner tonight?

"No, I am fine, and Yeah I am pretty excited cant wait to see what you have planned."

--

School seemed to flash by,

But what Charles was waiting for finally came.

Meeting with Gwen after her Biology class, we make our way to Clint.

First, we go on a little tour, of the city before I start driving out of it.

After an hour of driving and chatting I pull up to a conservation park.

There I take a picnic basket from the car and lead Gwen to a stream that passes the copse of trees.

Opening up the basket I spread a blanket and beckon her to join me.

Then I start serving pickles, ham and cheese sandwiches, devilled eggs, and glass of Pinot noir.

Before long the sun starts to fall past the tree line.

"Charles, I would love to have a relationship with you. and I have done some thinking about what you said about life changing secrets. I have one to tell you before we start actually going out together."

"Sure, lay it on me. Any secret you give to me is as good as a secret not told."

"Well last week we went to Oscorp and I was bitten by that spider and got so sick you carried me home. When I woke up, I found that I had powers. I could stick to things, turn invisible had super strength/speed and some kind of sixth sense." Said Gwen.

"Very impressive, do you plan on doing anything with that power, or will you continue the way you are right now?" he asked.

"I don't know but I see stories of vigilantes all the time, and I can't help but want to lessen crime on the streets to protect my dad."

"Alright that is a good start, and I am all for that, but if you decide to go through with that you have to train before hand. Sneaking, fighting, interrogation. I do not want you doing this half assed, that is how you get yourself killed." Stated Charles

Gwen simply agreed.

As the two were cuddling on a blanket he decided to tell her about his robots but not his system, that he wants to take to the grave.

"Gwen follow me to the car. You remember how I am really good at robotics and computer programming? Well, if you look at this car, I have made some really advanced ones."

After saying this Clint transforms but does not show his weapons.

"Hello Miss Stacey, how is your night?" Clint queried.

Gwen simply gaped

"Now I hope this will stay a secret, I have a notion that if this is discovered I might get kidnapped by a shadow organization."

Gwen just nodded stupefied.

--

Soon Charles took Gwen back to her place, where they were greeted by her parents.

"I am glad to see you both had fun. Now Charles I was able to get the Police and Fire chief to agree to Saturday." Mr. Stacey said.

"Thank you, now if you don't have anything else that day, why don't the rest of your family come and have a meal at my place?" Asked Charles.

Before the Man could reply Helen answered yes energetically

"Yes, we would love to come see your place!" Helen said

--

A week has passed

Today before the chiefs and the Stacey's arrive, Charles prepared food for supper and sent the 3 types of B1s to the gun range for the demo

During this time, he made sure to have all sensitive objects hidden.

--

At Noon all of his guest arrived.

He is introduced to Police chief Randy Hillman and Fire Chief Scott Pine. Along with them Mr. and Mrs. Stacey and Gwen were there

"Good Noon Ladies and gentlemen. Thankyou for coming by to observe my new Droid models." Charles Stated

Leading them to the gun range the first thing that everyone saw was 3 cubed machines

"Chiefs these are the Carriers for the Droids. The two on the right are for the Police, Let me introduce you to the regular B1 and the B1-H or Heavy B1."

Releasing them from the carriers they unfold from rest, then march into formation.

He then gave some commands

"Aim at that target!" "Suppressive fire!" Hold fire" Patrol the area"

Chief Randy spoke "these are impressive robots but what use would I have for them, when real people can think for themselves?"

"They are to act as bodies, why have a man be the first to enter buildings or act on the frontline of riots? Use these which are sturdy and can easily be repaired. Along with that these will be easier to send to aid in shootouts against gangs." Charles said "Now that we have the police out of the way let me show the B1-F, the firefighting unit."

Unleashing them Charles then showed their abilities along with the carriers' ability to collect water from the air. He then made a fire and had a droid walk inside, showing the heat resistance of the bot.

"Scott, many times you send men into extremely dangerous buildings, something might collapse or they cant pass a burst of fire, a mask might break or anything else. This is my answer to help you." Charles said

"Now this is all I had to present to you, in the future I might have other products but I would appreciate if you would talk about this with your department and get back to me as soon as possible so that we can make the city safer."

The two thanked him before making their way off.

"Well lad that was a good show, never thought I would see robots like that for real and not a movie." Mr. Stacey said.

Leading them to a picnic table he serves appetizers, while heating up dinner.

"So, Charles, Gwen was telling me about that lovely picknick you two had. Any plans for the next one?" asked Helen.

"I don't have any yet, but I have heard that Robin Williams will be doing standup in the next month or so." Charles replied.

As the meal finished, Gwen and Helen offered to clean up. This aloud Charles to talk to the older man.

"Sir, lately whenever I am leaving my home, I have noticed people following me. I believe that they are interested in my robots, but I do not feel safe without a way to defend myself and Gwen. If it came to a fight. So, is it possible for you to help me acquire a concealed carry permit and any other permits I might need?" asked Charles

Nodding George agreed, "yes, I can, come by after school on Monday and we can get the paperwork filled out. Now if you do end up needing to use a gun to kill, be sure to call me first and I can help keep the law off your back."

With this success Charles was pretty happy.

The Staceys stayed a bit longer before making their way back home.

Unknown HYDRA base

Yes SIR! Hail Hydra!!!!

Stark workshop

"What the FUCK! How can a teenager build something like this when I THE GREAT TONY STARK can barely understand the basics of this beautiful machine!"

Here we could see a genius throwing a wrench in frustration after disassembling a WALL-E

"SIR, this unit is very advanced maybe you should hire him?" states JARVIS

"NO, I refuse to Hire him, I will make better things!"

Shield Base

"Agent Coulson, have we tracked down the man producing these robots?" a Bald one-eyed black man asks.

Agent Coulson responds "Yes, Sir it is a highschooler named Charles Woods, very intelligent not even Stark can make heads or tales of these creations."

"I want you to put a watch on Woods and find out his intentions and weaknesses. Now tell me have you discovered who that vigilante is in Gotham and why he stopped an operation to eliminate the Joker?"

Agent Hill replied "we have tracked the likeliest of candidates, one Bruce Wayne a Billionaire in Gotham, but we are unsure as to why he is protecting the Joker."

Fury nodded before dismissing his inner circle.

All alone he could not help but worry over the possible dangers popping up that did not seem to be there not even a month ago.

That Monday after going to school, Charles made his way to the Police station

There after filling out the proper paperwork with Mr. Stacey as his reference, he was soon given his concealed carry license that was valid in all of New York.

--

Getting home Charles then went through training with the CHAPPIES 1-5 these would be the leaders of the other 20 unnamed ones.

One thing he never realised was how hard it is to aim a gun when struggling to breath while running

Fortunately, his cybernetic eye seemed to be able to compensate, but this still fueled him to become fit.
