Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Months went by,

not keeping the robot waiting any longer,

he carefully coded the robot with these proper adjustments, making sure he was up to date,

at his home, he had brought a lot of equipment to construct the robot,

acquiring and building the robot from layer to layer

from joints to limbs, feet to hands, and other personal parts to make the robot stand out from the rest,

Netro had the ability to do so. It wasn't an impossible task. He wanted to show that

this robot wasn't just metal and parts put together with AI coding,

he wanted a robot that was out of the ordinary,

someone who they can just be next to, chat to, be friends to, maybe even love, not in a physical way but mentally loved,

for him, he felt is what people looked forward to, he saw that in Neyxtou. while focusing on this task, there was a friendly knock at the door. It made netro jump, being away for awhile he knew it would gather his loved ones to check up on him, "The doors open." he shouted with a mindset tone, i guess being busy was more important than visitors considering the fact that, he didn't expect to have any visitors, he thought as though he was just a tree blowing while everyone walks right passed him, he surely wished that who ever it was behind that door would've checked on him sooner, but this was okay he thought to himself, he'd rather be left alone for a couple months than be forgotten at all, the door softly opens, and a girl with pink hair, wearing a sweater and everyday clothes, walks in, it was his sister 'Roxy' or 'Roxanne' they were always close on a deeper level, ever since they were kids they always looked out for each other, roxy was a passionate and bright woman willing to help others and make sure that enemies would meet the ground if it ever came to physical boundaries, considering that her and him grew up with different sense of direction, it came to no surprise that she still supported her brother no matter what he did. "hey," she said with a soft and calm voice, the room was silent, she didn't know how to start the conversation, and was nervous to say a word, its been months without checking in on him, what could she possibly say that would make him feel alright. "how are you holding up" she asked sightly knowing what the answer was going to be but she had to try, she had to make sure that he was okay even though he would feel some type of way about the long distant silence. he didn't say anything. In fact, he was so busy that he didn't want to respond to how he was feeling. He knew what he felt and how he reacted during the time he was alone. but he didn't care. He looked at roxy while working on his equipment. He puts one of the tools down. "I'm holding up like a light bulb," he said, and then went back to working on more things.it was silent again, she didn't know how to respond, was he really okay, she knew that thunter hurt him more, she saw it, in his face when the light bulb in fact didn't light up anymore, she felt the light blowing out just it did when thunters lights went out, or maybe it was all in her head and she was overthinking, it has been months, a long time of self improving could have made her brother stronger, she had all these thoughts going through her head she didn't know what to believe, and because she was apart of her brothers company helping out with files and papers, she knew deep down she had to check up on him, she was than sobbing, "Netro" she said as her voice became raspy as it caught him by surprise as Netro put his stuff down. he then walked up to her and gave her a solid hug, letting her know that he was truly okay. "Please tell me you're okay," she said, sobbing while crying on his shoulder. "i don't care how long it took or how many months it took," he said, sobbing. "it hurt me like hell, i almost broke everything at the facility and just wanted to give up on everything," he said as they were both quiet, she heard the hurt in his voice when he spoke, like he was reliving it in his mind, one after another, he than turned his head, facing towards the robot in the dining room "but then, he changed my mind, and brought me back down to finished what i needed to do" He said as he lead her toward the robot in progress. "so this is what you've been up to" she said very amazed by the robot, she didn't know how to take it as this lead her to believe that he was okay, and he was healing and moving on to develop another robot for his company. but this robot wasn't for his company. It was for itself, "So for work right," Roxy said, looking at the tag of the name "no, this one, this one can do whatever it wants" Netro said pleased to say that this robot was more that just a work programmed to do what its told, he hated that, he doesn't want a single work objective into its coding system, better yet he wanted to make a self coding for the robot. "So how you'd get this one, didn't you destroy all the robots because of what he did?" she said in an unpleasant tone during the all-out battle between Netro and that psycho guy mothie. He had no choice but to physically destroy all the robots using his mind hacking abilities, thunter was supposed to be the first and last robot Netro has ever made,

it confused roxy, he made her wonder into speculation, did he make that robot before or after, seeing this one, she didn't know how to feel,

"he was in my office," netro said, "i guess i thought i destroyed all of them," he said, "I'm glad, I'm glad though, that hes the only one" Netro said "he's all i got, and i want to achieve this goal" Netro said as Roxy laughed as she smiled "does this goal of yours have a name" Roxy said "yes, his name is Neyxtou, Neyxtou The Robot" Netro said smiling "and he's going to be a funny robot when he gets to do whatever he wants" Netro said laughing and Roxy chuckled "dont give me a reason to smack him on the head once you do" Roxy said as she sits down on the couch "so i see you've been busy on other parts for this Robot Neyxtou" Roxy said as Netro than noticed what she was referring to as he covered the lower half of Neyxtous hips and legs, Netro felt embarrassed "shut up, theirs nothing wrong with attaching a robot with some real anatomy of a male body" Netro said as he than cringed for a second "well, at least now i know this robot is going to be a male" she said giggling and laughing, as Netro covered his face in embarrassment "Shut up, i wanted to make him different and believe me, I'm not enjoying half of this, i still got to make sure-" he pauses and doesn't speak any further "can we be mature about this" Netro said as he was still embarrassed. roxy gave Netro the benefit of the doubt. "Okay, fine, I'll remain mature in the situation, but you are sure going all out on this robot, i can't wait to see Neyxtou be a finished project," Roxy said, it was clear that she was all in as much as Netro was on this project."Then let me get to work," Netro said, a bit pleased to hear that. He felt like he was the seed planted into the ground, waiting to grow again and bloom, maybe even a tree branch that waited for the leaves to grow again, in his mind though, he still grieves, like a shadow that haunts him a bit, scared he feels, no promises kept for this robot, the only way forward is being a man of his word, and that is better than keeping a promise. because a man of word doesn't keep a promise.
