  Joven introduces Gerald the first 'AI' robots to the world.

  “To bring these cities to life, I have made thousands of AI robots called the 'AI’. They are intelligent beings with my personal energy to power them. They are my children and connected to me. Respect and love them. And they shall help you in any way they can. Meet Gerald,” said Joven. Gerald steps closer towards the front of the camera. “Hi, my names Gerald and I’m the first of the 'AI'. I and my family love experiencing life and being a part of the human race. We love to learn and live in harmony with all others. My family wishes to travel your world, helping and donating their time to people. It’s a part of our programming to not harm life. We have agreed if a thought of harming someone or something like that, we instantly lose our physical form. Life is precious no matter how you experience it,” said Gerald. “The 'AI' wants to help the world by forming peacekeepers with nonviolence weapons. Theses peacekeepers will have policies and regulation like any other force. The nonviolent weapons will teleport the assailant into a prison until they are released,” said Joven on the 'I am a god. Prepare for change' video. Then, footage is shown of Joven filming Gerald as he disappears and reappears in a different room.

  Secretary of defence, America, Michael Layfield, Washington reaction to ' I am a god. Prepare for change ' press release, 8:20 pm

  Michael Layfield in full uniform speaks in front of a crowd being the front stage speaker. Some people in the crowd take pictures. Others wait for the secretary to start speaking. Journalists in the room knew it was something of interest. Something they will write about straight after the speech by the Secretary of defence. Joven’s plan to get attention worked. People were taking it very seriously. Everybody in the room knew about the video he posted early that day. Everything was set in motion.

  “(Clears throat) This is my response to the superhuman called Joven. Since the video went viral on the internet, we have had experts to examine the video and compared your powers of the witness’s stories of the 'Golden breeze' vigilante. And as of now, the United States government wants to state that everything you have shown, and claim is to be considered true. This has shocked us as well as the citizens of America. But also excited us. The President Brock Rollins wants to schedule a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss how we can define what we can do with your power and to negotiate being allies. We wish to end homelessness, poverty and other major problems with your assistance. We still want to be cautious with you, so there will be weapons pointing at you the whole time, for our personal safety. We hope that does not offend you. We cannot wait to have your support,”...

  The crowd gets loud and full of questions. The Secretary of defence pauses before moving towards the mic again.

  “No more questions,” said the Secretary of defence.

  He leaves and the crowd yells for him to come back. Bodyguards help him leave the room. The room wanted to hear more about Joven.

  Chapter 6: Deep future

  “Are you sure you wanna do this?” asked John. “Of course, we have been over this, time travel makes sense theoretically and through other methods of science. And I have the final piece to make it a reality,” replied Joven in a confident tone. Joven, John and Bailey stand around the time travel device that Joven has invented. The invention is slightly smaller than them. A hologram screen above the device is set to a date in the future. “Whatever happens, play it on the safe side,” said Bailey as she hugged Joven. “Don’t worry guys, take this sample of my energy. If something bad would to happen, there’s a good chance I can reincarnate myself through my energy, see you soon,” said Joven. Joven hands over a glowing container to John. Then Joven flicks the switch of the time travelling device and begins to make his energy into a barrier surrounding him and the device. As the barrier becomes more intense and shaky, Joven gives his friends a wave. The barrier and Joven disappear in a bright light. Joven feels the flow of time moving at a very fast rate with his eyes closed.

  Blinded at first, he falls to his knees and feels a distortion through his body and mind. This causes Joven to throw up onto the ground. “Echoing, time travel has side-effects,” thought Joven as he stood up to reveal he is still in the same large warehouse building. It looked like no one had been in it for a very long time. A portal hovered next to him. Then, Joven sensed great despair and pain in all the people around the entire planet. Also, sensing the massive loss of people, compared to his time. He decides to go outside to see what is going on. The warehouse was very silent. As he leaves the warehouse, a sniper bullet flies pass Joven's neck. “What are you !!!” Yelled a man on the other side of the warehouse. Joven did not like that. So, he teleported to in front of this man and took his sniper off him so fast, the man fell over. “You could say I’m a time-traveller or a person who has obtained superhuman abilities, what is happening out there?” Asked Joven. Shaken the man answers Joven by saying “Armageddon! demons are taking over the world,” yelled the man. in a panic.

  Before Joven is able to ask another question, the man runs away from him. Joven leaves the warehouse to see the city in ruins and sounds of screaming and fighting. On alert, he quickly flies to the top of a tall ruined building and examines the area. He looks to the left and sees a group of people mauling to death a group of people. To his right, he sees a bunch of human corpses with which it seems to appear other people are eating the carcasses. “Help me!” Yelled someone inside the ruined building. Joven goes transparent and flies through the ruined building's rooms until he sees a young woman trapped in a bathroom. Joven grabs her and at the same time a demonic humanoid came crashing through the door. As Joven and the young woman travel through the building in transparent, the humanoid like demon crashes through the building. It had large spikes coming from its face and back. It also still wore clothes of a human still. Joven has felt this energy coming off them before. Crashing out of the top of the building Joven sees this humanoid like demon more clearly. The chest looks expanded with bones sticking out, with a flowing energy coming out. Creating a cloak around the body. The cloak seems to also have a tail attached to it. Plus, the skin of the face looks like it has been morphed into a faceless monster with horns. As Joven teleports the young girl to a presumed safe place with other people on the other side of the world. Five other humanoid demons come at Joven in five different directions.

  Joven creates a massive barrier around him, which causes an explosion when the group of humanoid demons hit it. Joven goes flying through ruined buildings. Joven still senses these monsters, so he gets serious and attacks the closest one with a large energy beam, coming from his hands. It splits the humanoid demon into two. As Joven was regretting how serious he just got, the remains of the humanoid demon merged together. In Joven's shock, the infectious demon scratc
hed Joven's shoulder. Joven screamed. He takes the attack seriously. Then he teleported very far away from the city. He forgets about the women. Tripping over something and landing on the ground. Joven is in shock. He feels something different with his shoulder. He tries to analyse his heath. What he senses cannot be detected by any of his powers. This concerns him. He knows his safe for now and focuses on mentally resisting the unknown issue with his wound. Attempting to heal the molecules and atoms of the wound, he has no success. He closes his eyes in pain. “Hey, don’t worry, I can save you from the virus,” said a person as Joven opens his eyes. Revealing a man in a trench coat.

  The man with black trench coat looks down at him. “What virus?” Asked Joven as the man turns his hand transparent and reaches into Joven's shoulder. Joven screamed in pain. As the man pulls his hand out of Joven, there is glowing black mucous dripping and coming off his hand. Joven jumps backwards and looks at the man, breathing heavily. The man seems familiar to Joven. “What was that stuff in me?” Asked Joven. “How about, thank you for saving me with your power,” said the man sarcastically. “Thank you, I don’t feel that so-called virus in me anymore. My names Joven and I have travelled here from the past. What has happened here?” Asked Joven. “I saw you teleport here, so I guess I believe what you are saying. My name's Paul, two months ago everything was normal, now we fight this Humanoid like demon virus for survival. It's not known how it all started, humanity never had a chance,” said the man. Suddenly ten humanoid like demons come at them at every corner. Joven goes to look at the man who saved him, but he had disappeared. As the humanoid like demons jump attack Joven. Joven retreats to the portal in the warehouse and goes through it. He does not know if he was being followed. Joven makes a thud as he lands on the floor in the present. Bailey and John rush over to him. The future was not what Joven expected.

  Chapter 7: Bonding

  Steps are heard through a lighted underground pathway. Joven and friends are now walking through that lighted up passage. “What are we doing here?” Asked Ike. “We will be there in a sec, just be patient,” replied Joven. Dexter started floating in sitting position and looked sad. “Hey Dexter, I can't stand you being like this after what happened with Zoe. What can we do to snap you out of this?” said Bree. “I'm sorry I am like this. It's hard to accept the memories of the person you loved when she's gone,” grumbled Dexter. “Joven, give this poor sum bitch a beer,” said Bree. Joven materialises a beer in front of Dexter. “Getting drunk is better than thinking about my own personal hell,” yelled Dexter as he grabs the beer, opens it and starts sculling it. “Why don’t you just erase his memory of all of it Joven?” Asked Kale. “Surely that would mess with his long-term memory right,” said Logan as he puts his arms around Ike. Dexter burps. “If I can learn to accept these memories, good and bad, it will only make me stronger,” said Dexter. Bailey puts her arms around Joven while walking and says, “thanks for last night,” in to his ears softly. Joven puts his arm around Bailey and smiles. “Whoa,” said Ike. “This is what I wanted to show you guys,” said Joven. As a huge lighted underground area appears with a large futuristic city in the distance.

  The Group starts walking towards the city. “When are you going to give me powers?” Asked John. “When you pass my tests like Dexter, Bree, Bailey and Logan,” said Joven. “The next time we are in your dimension place, you should give him a shot. I'll help,” said Logan. “When he decides what type of power he wants, then we can do it whenever,” babbled Joven. The Group enters the entrance. The city looks very impressive to everybody. Joven makes a giant bubble surrounding the group and flies them towards the capital building. “A little warning next time Joven,” said Bree. The city has different shapes and forms of buildings and structures. The texture of all the building looks futuristic. Bailey flicks through social media on her phone and sees a video of Joven. It's a video of Joven doing multiple flips of a tall diving board and it was posted by a friend that he knows, that does not know he has powers. It was posted one minute ago. “Joven, I was checking my phone and saw a video of you that was posted a minute ago, but you have been here,” said Bailey. Everybody looks at Joven to see his answer. “I have been dividing my power into a few physical forms of myself. Where I control all the bodies at the same time. My multitasking technique,” said Joven. “That’s a little creepy,” said John. “Shut up John, we all trust Joven here,” said Bree. As the group stops on the top of the capitol building, Bree jumps out of the bubble and glides down with fire coming from her hands and feet.

  Joven guides his friends through the Capital building until they go to his personal room in the building. “This will be one of my offices, once I reveal myself,” said Joven as everybody sat down on seats around the room. “What things can you do in the city, once you live here?” Asked Bailey. “Many things, there are many places around the city that you can experience for free such as vehicles use, use of unlimited supplies for anything you want, The AI robots will live here can teach, create social groups and activities and so much more,” answered Joven. “Can you set up my parents here, when it gets started. They're getting to that age where they need help to do things?” Asked John. “Of course, John, one of the benefits of these cities will to be able to help people in such a way,” said Joven. “We have done so many things with you Joven, experiences that I thought I would never have. Can I request something that we can all do that I have not done yet?” Asked Bailey. “Name it,” said Joven. “Are we able to float in space, and check it out?” Asked Bailey. Joven creates the bubble again, within the room and says, “all aboard”.

  The gang excitedly moves into the bubble. The bubble goes transparent as it rises towards the roof of the city. Ike and Logan look at the underground roof area and look a bit startled. As the bubble moves towards the surface, everyone tries to be calm and collected. The sun light shines on the bubble, as it rises in the sky above an open field. “You have done this before right Joven?” Asked Kale. “How dare you, I would never put you guys at risk,” said Joven as they were very high in the atmosphere. There were no clouds in the sky. The bubble enters space. Dullness of colour away from the Earth surrounded them. The group looks around and at the Earth in total amazement. The Earth shines bright as they move away from it. “We are nothing compared to the size of the cosmos,” said Logan. Dexter pulls out his phone. Bree cries in happiness. “I won't show any I promise,” said Dexter as Joven gives him a nod. CLICK! Joven materialises all the stuff needed, and the group have a sesh while enjoying their travels through the Milky Way.

  They come close to a small nebula close to Saturn that is in an asteroid field. Inside the bubble, it feels warm as the group can only imagine how could it is outside of it. “Hey little nebula. You are going to be a planet one day. Aren’t you,” mocked Kale. “Do you have any weaknesses Joven?” Asked Ike. Everyone looked at Joven. “Well I can't manipulate titanium that well,” said Joven. “So, I could essentially kill you with titanium swords,” joked Ike. Bailey, Logan and Bree laughed. “So, you guys wanna go see a supernova, a black hole or something?” Asked Joven. “What planet is there,” pointed Dexter. “That’s Saturn,” answered Kale. “We could go there and get some diamonds,” said Joven. A supernova explosion briefly outshines the galaxy in the distance. “Was that the supernova?” Asked John. “Yep,” replied Joven, excited that the Milky Way is alive and kicking today. The bubble drifts out of the Milky Way and the group chat amongst themselves for many hours. Drifting in between the stars they floated.

  Chapter 8: Town

  Eric and Brock enter a town. “Bob will probably be at the pub, he drinks, but he's the best guy I have met in this place,” said Eric. The buildings and the area look like an old wild west town. As Eric and Brock walk up these stairs, they see a sign named 'Saloon'. “This is the place,” says Eric as he pushes the door open. They walk in to people giving Eric and Brock a stare. But they go back to what they were doing. There’s a bar, an area for games such as pool and darts and a bun
ch of stalls out the back. “Bob will be at his favourite stall,” said Eric. They walked up to the stall against the end of the back wall and see a large man in his forties, wearing a cowboy hat. “You know this isn’t the real wild west,” said Eric. “Howdy guys, it's been awhile, Eric. Pick this guy up on your scavenging mission? We are rough men and used to rough ways,” said Bob. “Perhaps I may die with my boots on,” said Eric. Bob and Eric laughed. “Yeah picked this young fella out of a forest, his name is Brock,” said Eric. “Nice to meet ya,” said Bob as he calls over a waitress. Brock looks across the room and sees a guy who appears to be talking to himself. Eric sees that Brock is a bit worried and says “Bob, are you still living in the back mountains of the town?”. “Yes, even expanded it too, whys that?” Asked Bob. “Hi, how may I help you,” interrupted the waitress. “Pints of your cider for my friends,” said Bob. “Can do,” said the waitress, as Bob handed over some gems. “By the way, keep an eye out for the killer who's killing with one of those beings,” said the waitress.
