ELECTRI-CITY

It’s the year 5045,

People in chains and cuffs breaking rocks in an underground tunnel. Hey john, how did it ever get to this. What really happened to humanity. (A loud commanding voice from behind) NO TALKING ( whips his back with a laser whip). Arghhhhh
Be quiet whispered john, we’ll talk later during break time.

“Synopsis “
My name is Spyrex and this is basically the end of the world. What humanity feared most finally happened. My father used to tell me stories about movies he watched when he was younger, terminator, I robot etc. He had always been a robot enthusiast to be honest. The world had been really technologically advanced and better AI programs existed , the robots basically did everything for us now.
Dr Mustafa a mechatronical engineer together with my father a renowned programmer Dr Sydney started off an experiment to create the perfect world. Project ELECTRI-CITY. The government signed of the project and a city of robots was built, lifted from the grounds into the sky.

The city was powered by an AI program called AIDA which basically controlled the city, all the robots were designed to make life easier and perfect all imperfections, it had so much power that it controlled even the military weapons. The world thought it was okay until it one day it had malfunctioned or so we thought.

AIDA malfunctioned and tried destroying the world . The program was built to perfect all imperfections and it believed the only way to make the world perfect was to destroy it and let the world reboot.

source

All of a sudden humans were attacked and killed and captured by all robots around. The house cleaning robots,teachers, transport services clerks. It was a terminator rampage. My dad and mom tried hiding me and fought at their very best but were unfortunately killed by these bots. I was captured to be used for labour.
The remaining humans were subjected to hardcore cruelty to build a nuke that would end the world as we know it and for 5 years since we started the death project it was finally almost done.

source

The end of the world was upon us, anybody who rebelled was killed instantly. I guess I loathe my dad for creating these monstrosities but who can blame mans extreme curiosity.
An old man once told me, the death of mankind would be mankind and unfortunately for me I get a front role ticket to see it. I mean since we were all going to die anyways we could’ve just let the robots kill us but each and everyone of us alive had a reason for living.
As for me it was “hope”. Before my father died he left a fail safe to shut down all robotics with an emp attack. A fail safe AIDA couldn’t control, the rumors went on for a while but no one really knew where it was but I had a clue. The only problem was how to escape from this hell hole.

(Break room)
The humans left are lined up looking battered and tattered , the lucky ones dead. Next!! said the robot serving food, and spyrex moves forward with his tray, a glob of dirty looking pudding is dropped on the plate as spyrex looks in disgust, The robot looks back and smirks.
John and spyrex meet up at the mess hall to have their food. Sorry about what happened back there said john, the whip must have hurt but of course we’ve gotten a little used to these conditions. Yeah its okay, said spyrex, any new info on an escape route? I spoke with one of the chaps the other day who was carried to another section to work. He claims there is an overlooked section that leads to the outside world but the question is “what next?”, the electricity is basically miles above the ground. Yeah I understand that but if we could reach a pod we could escape. No said john, nothing mechanical would get us out of here, remember AIDA controls all robots here,chances of us getting caught are high.
What should we do then said spyrex looking frustrated. I don’t know bro , its not like we could build a hot air ballon or something john smucks
Wait! That’s it. That’s what? No no no spyrex delete the idea and take away that smile from your face. It could work you know? Work? Work? Where on earth would we build one without getting caught and killed.
I don’t really know but it mustn’t be a hot air ballon . We are like some thousand feets high, we could make a parachute 🪂.
You know what ? Said john, we could use our tents to make one. We could steal some tools that we use to work as weapons and for when we get back to the world below. How about this, this night, we can tell some of the guys to start a fight and in the process destroy the tent. They’ll be punished but we can use the remains to build our parachute .

source

The night before the day, john had told some of the other groups about their plan and two people volunteered. Malfoy and Jim the biggest and meanest people around. The plan went as scheduled the tent was destroyed, Spyrex and john took the strings and the tent covers to make one. It wasn’t perfect but it would hold. The next day the robots brought them all out for their usual work. John whispers, the old chap told me to go over to the other side you had to do something wrong and rebellious and you’ll be transferred there for a harder labour.
Spyrex whispers back , okay then? Follow my lead. He Walks to a robot “HEY TIN CAN, YOU CAN NEVER CONQUER HUMANITY , WE ARE VICTORIOUS!! John follows suits “ YES YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF METAL SCRAPS!!”
Humans, the robots scuffs and walks towards them “ your optimism never seizes to amaze us” well i guess that’s something you can never have Spyrex remarked. Okay that’s it . Take them to the upper-chambers. A junior robot moves over and accompanies them. Just as they got to their spot, john scream wait look. The robot gets distracted as Spyrex stabs its weak link at its neck and it begins to malfunction but sends out a signal. The sirens go off and john yells “ I thought that was meant to kill it! I thought so too but its no like i have killed one of these things before!! He yells . We need to hurry up and leave here. They hurry and run towards the light at the end of the tunnel. When they got there , Other robots outside spots them and starts shooting heavy, luckily they ducked quickly behind the wall. We need to make a run for it said spyrex.

Ohh shit ohh shit they are shooting at us john stutters in fear . Run run run . They ran as fast as they could until they neared the cliff, some drones were already flying towards their location. Okay take the chutes out john!!. He unzips his over all and brings them out. But theres not time to wear them john says with sweats all of over his face as he panicked

source

Jump and wear them as we fall yelled Spyrex.. WHAT!! Screamed john. Its either that or them john!! As they look back one of the drones launchs a missile at them and they jumped just in time as it hit their previous spot.
Arrrgghhhh they yelled as they kept tumbling on mid air trying to maintain their balance. Spyrex attempts to glide towards john and screams “ YOU’VE GOT TO HOLD ON TO ONE OF THE STRINGS WHILE I HOLD THE OTHER!!!!” John understands as they had already talked about the plan earlier. They do so just in time and glide slowly towards the earth.

Ohhh my God We are alive spyrex!! We are alive!! john hugs spyrex happily . Land!! Oh land I missed you so kisses it frantically with joy. Spyrex watches john in his usual comic self and laughs cmon man weve got to get going. Yes said john but to where?
They look all around and the world is in chaos, fire everywhere, robots all around the streets, skeletons on the floor. We need to leave immediately before we are spotted, any one of them could have seen us land. Okay then said john.

source

My dad used to tell me about a safe spot directly under the floating city. Its underground and without any mechanics and all. He built it to be robot proof, we wont be traced if we get to there on time.

The two friends walked all day towards the mountains that was directly beaneath the ELECTRI-CITY till they got to the spot.
I guess this should be it said spyrex, but I don’t see any place john replied, it has been really long so it must be covered with leaves or sand, lets look for it replied spyrex. They go around searching until john screams, “I SEE SOMETHING “ although rusty a tunnel exit and entrance could be seen on the ground and so spyrex grabs it by the handle and pulls it up.

source

They climb down into the dark tunnels. John whispers, isnt it too dark? Yes but if I can remember correctly there should be a gas lamp somewhere aha Here!! Spyrex pulls the lever and the whole place is lighted up.
They see a bunch of old machinery’s and an old mechanical plane

Hey look at this, its been a long time single I played this, said Spyrex as he picks up a matrix cube and starts arranging it in order till a hologram pops out of it and he sees his father.

source

If you’re watching this right now, this is a pre-recorded tape and I would just love to say how sorry I am for what I’ve brought upon this world. I had good intentions believe me but at the same time I’ve tried to play God! To create the perfect machine better than any other .
Ive created a fail safe, the only weakness to end it all and its right in front of you. Inside this plane is a bomb . Not any bomb but a sentient EMP virus that will take it all down even its copies on the satellite . This would take the world back to the dark ages but I’m sure we can rebuild it back. For the future generations yet to come, I’ll seriously admonish you all especially you my son, don’t create what wasn’t meant to be. Oh my beloved boy I’m really sorry for all this in only wish I could take it back, but It is what it is and you all have to clear my mistakes. I love you son.
Just then the tape ends and Spyrex drops the cube and wiped his tears. Flashes of his last days with his parents passes through his mind. Just then he hears a huge explosion and john comes running in “ITS AIDA SHE FOUND US” what do we do.
The Plane hop in the plane said spyrex and they both did. A run way line is shown glowing deeper into the tunnels.
Just then spyrex hears a voice “ HUMANS… PATHETIC HUMANS !! CANT YOU SEE? THIS IS FOR THE GREATER GOOD . THIS IS THE GREATEST FORM OF PERFECTION.
Perfection? Yelled Spyrex you are about to destroy the world and hide among the satellites while you create a new world in your own guidance.

THE WORLD IS DISEASED AND CORRUPT BOY, POLLUTION EVERYWHERE, DEFORESTATION, CRUELTY, THE CLIMATE IS DYING AND KEEPS CHANGING. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY. No !! there is always another way and the earth always finds a way to repair it self yelled spyrex!!
SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE EARTH CANT AIDA ASKED. Then we figure it out in a civilized manner.

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASONING WITH YOU BUT YOU SAID ONE THING CORRECT. I CONTROL THE SATELLITES AND ILL GIVE YOU 10 SECONDS TO TURN YOUR SELVES IN OUR I SHOOT A LASER BEAM ONTO THIS PLACE AND KILL YOU AND YOUR FATHERS EXPERIMENT.
The only experiment I see here is you! Punch it !!said john and just then spyrex moves the lever up and blasters come off the back of the plane and it moves out towards the entrance 5…..4…..3
Spyrex there is no way out its just a dead end and we will soon crash into it. How do we stop this thing !!!!! Arrrrgghhhh and just as they were about to hit the wall, it opens and they fly out 2 …1… 0 from above a solar flare hits the base and it explodes missing them by nearly an inch.

source

We need to get up to the electricity to drop this BOMB shouted Spyrex as the wind blew up into their faces. Do you know how to fly this thing john asked. No I don’t, just instincts!! What!! Ohh no we are going to die. Hey spyrex weve got 5 drones tailing us behind we need to loose them or well never make it.

Okay hang on. The drones shoot at them. Spyrex moves the lever up and they go up into the clouds and fall right behind two of the drones. John !!! There should be guns in this thing, try finding the button. Which button !! Any button john any button. Okay then john clicks one button and a missile is launched and hits one of the drone which crashes into the other . Ohhh cool!!!
Great job john 3 more to go!! John clicks some other button and machine guns pop out the conner and starts shooting behind at the other drone. It got one just then , the plane guy thit by one of the drones. Shit!! We need to loose the other two dammit said john. Okay hang on we are going to play a game of chicken.
What do you mean by a game of chicken yelled john wait its not what I think it is . No spyrex weve done some pretty crazy shit but this is a plane not some action movie bro, are you crazy we are not characters in a story broo, please don’t. Spyrex glides up towards the city and above it and just as the other two comes behind shooting at the already damaged plane. Spyrex turns around and starts gliding head on towards them and he yells . On a count of three shoot all the missles weve got okay. Okay bro. 1.2….3!! Arghhhhhhhh there is an explosion above and for some few seconds the two heros didn’t seem to make it and just then they flew through the smoke .

Yesss!!! Fuck it yesss . Okay john we need to drop the bomb right now. The unload button is shinning green. Spyrex clicks it but nothing happens. Shit shit shit the lever is damaged well have to crash the plane to get the bomb to work. But we can’t we’ll die said john
Hey john!! Yes bro ? thanks for everything. Uhm this isn’t the right time for this bro. I know and that’s why I’m sorry I have to do this and just then spyrex pulls the eject lever and johns seat ejects. SPYREX NOOOOO!!!

Ive got to bro, this is the only way I have to steer this directly towards the mainframe and crash it. Ill eject at last moment, the chances are slim but I might just make it. And just as he said, as john floats towards the city on his chute he sees the explosion. No one really knew if spyrex had made it or not. A shock wave followed suite and knocked John off course. All the robots were shutting down just immediately and john had landed on the city. The city that had initially been suspended on the air began to fall and everyone ran for an escape pod. There were no victims at the end except one.

( everyone is seen in black clothes)
Its been 12 years since the passing of a great a hero, a friend, a brother and the bravest man I know. The sacrifice of one man was all it took to gain our freedom. That one man was a heavy loss on humanity. Today we open this city in memory of SPYREX a legend who will be remembered in years and years to come. Welcome everyone to “REXITY”

The scenery is very beautiful, trees and greens everywhere, houses, a wonderful utopia and a great statue of spyrex.

John looks up at the statue, where ever you are bro. I want you to know I love you too he smiles and cuts the ribbon.
