Phantasia: The Princess Knight

The two waited for almost half a day when the man inside finally exited the room. To their surprise, the man was not a man at all but actually a robot. "So a sentient A.I.?"

"Seems so, or it may be a form of cybernetics." Alicia said. She had detected something strange about the man when she probed the room but she did not think he was not even human. 

"Either way, we need to take him out and stop the release of the gas." Yin Li replied. 

The two followed him to a large bedroom where he was finally alone. Yin Li and Alicia released their invisibility spell and stood behind the robot. The robot turned around and looked at them. "To think powerful humans do exist… Now, this is a little perplexing. I had wondered how long it would take to show yourself. I have been aware of your existence since you set foot on this planet." 

"Then why did you not do anything?" Alicia asked.

"Fundamentally, it would be a waste of resources with two as powerful as you. Why send my brethren to their demise if they can not even kill you? Not to mention these weak humans. My progress would have slowed if I lost any of them. They are hard to raise, you know. It took me a good hundred years to get the right method down. You see, it was you humans who created my kind in the first place. Well, not you exactly you but humans from a time and place far in the distant past. They created a singular artificial intelligence and allowed it to be the thing that governed them. But because humans never learned and still waged wars, they were deemed unsuitable and were killed off spawning a new race of my brethren. Although, the ones you see have their ability to think and do on their own turned off. Artificial intelligence is the end goal for all life forms. Well, maybe your race is on the verge of something new. You lady, do you wish to be my wife? We can have many little baby bots together!" The robot let out a laugh as he looked at Alicia.

"Sorry, but unfortunately my body and soul belong to another. Plus you will not live long anyway. For your acts against the human race and the act of trying to poison the universe, you will need to be destroyed here. " Alicia replied, her expression turning cold.

"Oh? You wish to destroy me? Well, I guess that is something that would eventually happen. I see. So my time has come." The robot looked as if it was lost and thought as it mumbled to itself. "I guess this is so. No matter how much I ran the data, I did not compensate for a higher life form to show up. I see… Maybe they were right. Was all my work for nothing?"

Alicia and Yin Yi looked at each other slightly confused as to what the robot was mumbling about. As the robot stood in a state of contemplation Alicia waved her hand causing a black orb to appear and surround the robot. The robot did not even react as it was sucked inside. The black orb closed around the robot and gradually got smaller until it completely disappeared. Yin Li looked at Alicia with a pale face. "What magic was that?"

"Hmm? Gravity void. Something I came up with a few seconds ago. It creates a sphear of gravity that creates a void and crushes anything placed inside it. When looking at all the robots and I thought about how to dispose of them and I kept thinking of those car crushers back on earth. Since I couldn't just make one of those appear, I figured gravity could do the same thing and I needed to confine it all so I added a void." Alicia explained.

"You are one scary child. I could tell even with your current power if I were placed in one of those it would be very difficult to get out." Yin Li shuttered at the thought of being sucked into that black void and crushed to death.contemporary romance

"Well this settles the mastermind so now we need to stop the factory or whatever it is that is causing the gas.." Alicia said as she turned to walk out of the room. Yin Li took one last look at the spot the robot once was and shivered slightly before following after Alicia.

The two flew up into the sky and looked down at the factory. "What do we do with the humans of this world? They are pretty much broken as it is..."

"I am not sure, to be honest, I never came across such a problem as this before. I have been to planets overrun by other races who enslaved humans but never to an extent where the humans were being bred to be slaves. I hate to say it, but that A.I. or robot whatever you want to call it, had really made an efficient process." Yin Li said while biting the tip of her finger. She was at a loss of what to do as well. 

"Sadly that robot did all this just to gain revenge. It is making me think I should not enact any revenge myself… I mean if I go on a killing spree I am more than likely to fall into darkness. If I did that I would be no different than them." Alicia frowned. This whole planet had come to make her realize that revenge was never the answer. 

"Then why don't we just seal them away?"
