One day, on an average morning in the Code-Verse, a Green haired boy, wearing a dark green jacket (which had lime 1's and 0's fading in and out on its surface), and a Teal Shirt, peered attentively at the bits and pieces of ones and zeroes floating around him.
After a pause, the boy turned around to meet the eyes of a Curious looking Dog; It was Robotic in both Nature and Appearance. It was then, that the Dog broke the silence. "Hello Code-Boy, I am Gizmo, how may I assist you?" Code-boy stared at his new Robotic companion, and asks "So you know Covid-19, Right? Well... I found it's code and encrypted it with... Coded-19!"
At this remark, Gizmo began glitching out, and with a surge of light; Gizmo erupted into a Circuit Storm- Wait, What!? Hold on- WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE ULTRAVERSES-
"Please continue the story Narrator."
Ugh... Fine...
-Ahem-
The next day, Code-boy was looking despairingly at a pile of spare parts that wound up being 9 meters tall! As he surveyed it all, he wondered how so many parts could Originate from just ONE tiny robotic Dog.
But it was then, at this moment, that Code-boy was struck with the shocking reminder that he has promised his friend Waterboy that they would catch up and go Planet Surfing together!
(Now for those of you who do not know what planet surfing is, you get an Anti-Matter Powered Surfboard and ride it smoothly across the surfaces of the chosen planets, and then watch them explode-)
"Hold it! Narrator, that isn't what Planet Surfing is!"
Okay then Code-Boy! What is it!?
"Well, Planet Surfing is hopping from planet to planet within a given solar-system, in order to partake in the cultural entertainment of each planet, all while surfing on the fascinating waves that manifests upon each planet!"
I see, interesting... okay, back to the story!
-Ahem- As Code-Boy turned to leave, a Manifestation of his father spontaneously materialized in front of him.
Staring at the Image of his father, Code-Boy muttered to the apparition; "...Hello 'Dad,' how are you?" The Manifestation of Code-Boy's father returned Code-Boy's Scowl of anger with a warm smile, exclaiming "I'm having an excellent day son, how about you?". Code-Boy peered at the illusion of his father for a moment, sighing, and exclaiming "Feeling great dad!" All the while, hoping that the shimmering image of his father did not see the electronic mess behind him
Noticing Code-Boy's anxious face, the glowing form turned, and witnessed the skyscraper of robotic Dog parts that were once Gizmo.
Surveying the mess, Code-Boy's father had originally presumed the pile to be nothing more than spare parts, before Spying Gizmo's Collar on laying upon the pile of parts. He turned to face his son. "...I see the self-replicating parts worked. I wonder how many Gizmos can be made from all these parts! Well son? Care to find out?"
"Wait- Hold on- you... want ME to do it!? But I was gonna go Planet Surfing with Waterboy! Come on, can't I do this tomorrow!?" Code-Boy complained, before being silenced with a hand gesture from his father.
"Son, I expect you to build at least 3 Gizmos. And I don't want to see a single part left unused on the ground!"
"But-"
"No buts, okay son?"
"...fine! I'll build your stupid robots dad!"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm sorry- "
"It's okay Son, alright... I shall return by the end of the day... remember to create the 3 Gizmos, bye son!"
"Bye... dad."
With that, Code-Boy's father vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of having been there.
Suddenly, Code-Boy realised the magnitude of the situation, exclaiming "Wait- if I've got to sort all these parts, and have- to build 3 gizmos... then- I won't be able to go planet surfing with Waterboy- everyone will be disappointed- I could be teased- What will I do now-!? AND I have to protect the code-verse too!"
It was in this moment of despair and desperation, that Code-Boy was gifted a marvellous, grand, jaw dropping, magnificent, death-defying, awe-inspiring inspiration, which was nothing short of incredible-
"I decided to con my friends into building it for me narrator... it was more 'cunning' than it was brilliant-"
That's Impossible! You are incredible, why say that you're lesser than what you are!?
"Please continue the story Narrator!"
...right, -ahem-
As soon as Code-Boy had the Inspiration, he began working on the construction of the 1st gizmo.
