Chapter 6: New Day, New Rise.

( SUNSHINE )

Alan's Point of view.

(Alan Wakes)

Oh, my, I slept like a baby.

Right now, I am gazing at my fan,

the only fan in the house. When Mumma parted the rooms, she knowingly kept the fan on my side the most. Moms do so many things that you don't even realize.

Huh...

What time is it?

(Alan looks for the clock.)

It's 5.00 am. I am shocked I didn't wake up this early in my whole life. Guess this is the new beginning, but what if it's a mistake...

Suddenly, the robotic tuned voice says.

A.I. ACTIVATING IN...

ACTIVATED (IN A ROBOTIC VOICE.)

"Good morning, A.I.," says Alan.

GOOD MORNING, MASTER.

"Why am I awake this early, A.I.? I never did it by myself. I know I can't do it alone ever, so it must be you."

A.I. responds,

NO, MASTER. THIS WAS YOU. AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, BECAUSE OF YOU, I AM AWAKE AS WELL.

Alan is shocked and says,

"Wow, I guess I am worthy of your power, so why not give me THE MOONWALKER POWERS now?"

A.I. responds.

ACTION DENIED.

Alan sadly says,

"Oh... At least I tried. The morning looks pleasant. It's a little bit cold, so I am thinking of jogging. What do you say, A.I.?"

A.I. responds.

FOR A PATH OF UNLOCKING THE MOONWALKER SKILLS, BODY HEALTH AS WELL AS MENTAL COMPATIBILITY ARE IN NEED.

Alan responds.

"I didn't get what you said, but I think it's a yes, LET'S GO."

(Alan gets ready for a morning jog, he picks up a T-shirt, he was already wearing shorts, and he slowly walks out of the house because he didn't want to wake up his mumma. He grabs the sandals and comes to the ground floor and starts to take a run.)

I have never seen the morning sun like this. I am feeling much better; I have not felt this light in weeks. I didn't think I would recover this fast from the heartbreak and all. I still remember the day when I was numbly walking, God knows where. I was angry, frustrated, and sad. I just wanted to disappear. But today, that's not the case.

(Alan had just started jogging, lost in his mind. He had the look of a person who was on the path of enlightenment. However, the path ahead was still very long; it was just the beginning of it.)

A.I. cuts in and SAYS

BODY HEAT LEVEL-

NORMAL,

HEARTBEAT RATE-

FLUCTUATE,

BLOOD FLOW RATE-

NORMAL,

BODY OXYGEN LEVEL-

INCONSTANT,

CARBON DIOXIDE LEVEL-

INCREASING.

DOES MASTER WANT TO AUTOMATICALLY JOG? IT CAN BE CONTINUED FOR 30 MINS.

Alan was surprised at the fact that he could run automatically. Asked

"Why would I want to do that?"

IF MASTER CONTINUES JOGGING LIKE THIS, YOUR CARBON DIOXIDE LEVEL WILL INCREASE, AND OXYGEN LEVEL WILL DECREASE. BECAUSE OF THAT, YOU WILL BE OUT OF BREATH IN 2.43 MINUTES and 32-31-30-29-28-....… continues the countdown.

Alan sadly replies .

"A.I. Am I that weak?"

A.I. RESPONDS.

NO MASTER, YOUR RUNNING TECHNIQUE IS INCONSTANT, YOUR BREATHING HAS NO RHYTHM. WITH RHYTHM, YOU CAN RUN FOR 30 MINUTES AND MORE.

Alan, surprised again, says,

"Wow! You always surprise me. Turn the automatic running on and make me stronger."

A.I. in a robotic tuned voice,

(A.I. always speak in ROBOTIC TUNED VOICE.)

"ACTIVATING AUTOMATIC RUNNING."

(As Alan continued running with the newfound rhythm, he began to feel a sense of energy flowing through his body. He felt like he could keep going forever, his strides becoming smoother and more effortless. His body posture transformed from an amateur to professional marathon runner, It was as if his body and the A.I. were working in a perfect symphony, guiding him to a state of physical prowess he had never experienced before.

His initial fatigue had vanished, replaced by a surge of determination. As he ran, he couldn't help but smile, amazed by how his morning jog had transformed into this exhilarating experience. With each step, he felt like he was pushing the boundaries of what he thought as his unsurpassed limits.)

(CONTINUING ALAN'S POV)

Oh my God, I am really running fast, and for some reason, I am not feeling anything at all. While I was running, I had a fatigue that was growing slowly, but now it's all gone. This doesn't even look like I am jogging; the speed is somewhat like I am sprinting ahead. My body is sweating as well. I can feel the air touching my body, but it is not making me feel anything other than that. A.I., you are really helpful.

As I was running a question raised in my head. So I asked.

"Hey A.I. .....why don't you have a name?"

"And if I am remembering correctly, A.I. you didn't introduce yourself with a name."

A.I. responded, "I don't have a name, Master."

Alan, surprised again, says, "Can I give you a name? You should have a name."

A.I. responds. "I was never given a name by any of my previous users; all of them called me A.I., Master"

Alan says, "Well, I am not like others. I want you to have a name. You are my helper and a partner who wants the best for me. We are in this together; if I go down, you go down, and if you go down, then I might go down as well. So let's choose a name for you. How about Ariel... nah, it feels like you are a fabric conditioner. what about hanu... or Wukong.... what name will be good for you?"

(When Alan was thinking of good names, A.I. cuts in and whispers in a non-robotic tuned voice.)

—Kai—

(Alan after hearing it.)

Did you just say Kai?

A.I. again in a robotic voice responds, "It just came from somewhere. The words were caught by... some territory."

"So you said it?"

A.I. responds. Again in a robotic tuned voice, "I don't have an answer for it; it might be an error."

Forget it, I will name you Kai. How about that?

Said Alan.

A.I. responds again in a robotic tuned voice, "I will respond to Kai from now on, Master."

Alan asked, "Do you like it? And if it's a problem, we can go back to you being A.I. And Please don't call me MASTER Kai we are Friends, Call me Alan ok"

A.I. Responds, "I will try my best MAST.. ALAN."

"Okay Now please answer my question KAI.

Do you like your new name, Which I am pretty sure you selected." Said Alan.

A.I. responded in a robotic voice, "KAI is more preferred than A.I. by me, Master, I mean Alan."

Alan happily says, "Thank you, A.I... Ah, I mean Kai ".

(Alan imitates A.I., Alan was really happy at the moment he had a friend in him who was going to make his future shine, he was thinking about his MOM, ZACH and Kai).

Kai asked, "Alan why is name important for you is it like how people here behaves or does name transform them in some another being."

(Kai was interested in the new civilization he was just witnessing after traveling millions of light years through the void space, thinking about it Alan firmly responded.)

"A name is a person's identity. A name is proof of human existence, People here don't care if you are human or not if you are not existing in the record, with proof, you are an animal you have no rights.

A man can lose everything but not his identity, they say. But my mother and I lost that right to identity too. It took us five years of hard work to be able to take our name as citizens in the Town Gate of Cyan City. Otherwise, we would have been named immigrants and thrown in jail or put to be slave in an auction. A name which looks like nothing for many people is because they got it for free. Kai, you are the one who made me able to be someone who is now able to get back in the chase race, someone who wants to go to college, someone who wants to get a job and they can't unless they are running in society. But now I can do that all, all that they can't even imagine. Only because of you. Even though you are a program, you have a way of thinking and that gives you a right to identity. That's why I felt like giving you a name. Maybe I am a little emotional, but this was my plan all along. Hehe."

(Notification sounds of some laser light like *zing* played in the background)

"What was that??!!!"

Alan is surprised.

Kai responded in a robotic tuned voice.

(Alan is still in auto jog mode, and he is now being taken to some backside of the building automatically by Kai.)

"Where are we going, Kai? What was all that?"

Kai responded.

WE ARE GOING TO A SECRETIVE PLACE TO RENEW ENHANCEMENTS GIVEN TO ALAN.
